Average Brit pays £30,000 to charities and good causes during their lifetime, survey shows
Kind-hearted public give an average of six per cent of their disposable income to the needy
The average UK adult gives almost £30,000 in total to charity during their lifetime, according to research.
Typically Brits will give £16,671 to charity by direct debit, £1,831 to collection boxes and £2,275 by sponsoring friends, family and colleagues – all during their adult years.
And those polled will also splash out an average of £8,104 on almost 2,400 different charity shop items over the same period.
Quirky charity shop finds include a bust of William Shakespeare, a kimono, a CD signed by Sting and an autographed edition of David Beckham's autobiography.
Commissioned by Hyundai who have teamed up with Stand Up To Cancer to create a contactless car, the research of 2,800 UK adults also found half give up their free time to volunteer for good causes.
Rachel Carr, head of Stand Up To Cancer, said: "Since Hyundai unveiled its world-first Contactless Car, we've been overwhelmed by the positive response from the public.
"So many people have tapped the car to donate and, as Hyundai's findings show, we know that's just the tip of the iceberg of how much and how regularly people give.
"Stand Up To Cancer is all about driving forward game-changing science that saves lives. And we couldn't do it without the support of the amazing people who are joining the rebellion against the disease by donating, fundraising and sponsoring our research."
On average the Brits contribute six per cent of their disposal income to charity and those that volunteer give up about the same proportion of their free time for important causes.
It also emerged respondents will typically raise £1,263 for charity themselves by participating in activities such as fun runs and coffee mornings.
And three quarters visit charity shops at least once a month – 1,700 times over the course of their adult lifetime.
The most common way people typically give money to charity is through collection boxes – with over half doing this.
While four in ten contribute to charitable causes by sponsoring friends, family and work colleagues, and a third purchase consumer items which see a percentage of the profits going to charity.
Almost two thirds of respondents typically select the gift aid option when donating to charity and over half have contributed to a website such as Just Giving.
A fifth of the population said they plan to leave money in their will to charity when they pass away.
And one in ten said they would contribute more money to charity if they could do it using contactless payments.
The research, which was carried out by OnePoll, also looked at how charitable Britain's cities are.
And Oxford is among the most generous, with its population giving more money to charity through direct debits than any other city in the UK.
Oxford is also right up there when it comes to leaving money behind to charity in wills, with only people from Brighton and Hove leaving more."
While those residing in Birmingham give a higher proportion of their disposable income than the rest of Britain, contributing ten per cent on average.
However, Londoners are the most generous with their free time as they dedicate 12 per cent of their spare time to volunteering for charity.
Manchester is the next highest, with people from the northwest city offering up ten per cent of their free time to good causes.
When it comes to sponsorship, top spot went to Cardiff, with the average adult from the Welsh capital typically raising £2,122 during their lifetime.
Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor UK, said: "Here in the UK we're an incredibly generous nation – to give away nearly £30,000 over a lifetime is something to be extremely proud of – and special respect must go to the residents of Oxford.
"We're trying to do our bit here at Hyundai Motor UK, too, the only way we know how; with innovation and technology.
"Our 'contactless' IONIQ EV is a world-first and has been raising funds for important cancer research up and down in the UK."
Jake Humphrey, TV presenter and Stand Up To Cancer ambassador, added: "Throughout the UK millions of people every day are giving, sponsoring, and raising awareness of charitable causes, just like Hyundai is doing here with its Contactless Car. Beating cancer is a team effort, and it's great to see we've already got so many people on our side."

In this Temple Rama blessed his devotees with sita, lakshman,Hanuman and Vibhishanan . This Temple is surrounded by sea water on all of its sides. The view of Ramanathaswamy Temple, Dhoordharshan tower, Agni theertham from this temple is spectacular.In this place Vibhishna (Brother of demon king Ravana) is said to be surrendered to Lord Ram and ask ram to accept his as a member in his crew.Ram accepted Vibhisna and assured him that he will be the next king of Srilanka, after the death of Ravana. And lord Ram did the first crowning ceremony of vibhisha as a king of Lanka in this place.Sri Anjaneya is nearby praised as Anjaneya the Supporter. When Vibishana came to Rama after breaking his relationship with his brother Ravana, the monkey army did not agree to accept Vibishana as they suspected his sincerity. But Sri Anjaneya recommended Vibeeshana's case explaining that he had personally observed his activities in Lanka and found him good in all aspects and that he deserved to be accepted by the Lord. Hence, He is called Anjaneya the Supporter. It is believed that he takes the just prayers of the devotees to Lord Rama and helps them achieving their desires.Traditionally, we see Sri Anjaneya in a worshipping form near Lord. In this temple, Vibishana is awarded with this right. It is also noteworthy that Vibishana was offered the 'Azhwar' title as he was accepted by Lord. In this small temple, Garuda Bhagwan and Acharya Sri Ramanuja have their shrines. Those seeking leadership position through proper ways and to be away from the wicked pray here. Lord helps them. This is the philosophy behind the coronation of Vibishana.
Special pujas are performed on the last Purattasi Saturday in September-October. Vibishana Pattabishekam-coronation - is celebrated in the month of Aani-June-July.

(The other day, someplace)
"I just wish I knew there was somewhere, a little crack or something, to stick my fingers in and pull and it would turn everything inside out."
"And what would happen then?"
"I would see all the good in the world."
(Thessaloniki, August 2002)
I've just come back from one of my month-long trips around Europe, which means that everything around me looks depressing. The boy sitting opposite me looks depressed. The late summer heat makes it hard to breath, but if you look closely you can detect the first hints of autumn in the way the late afternoon light, in the way it changes. If you look more closely still you will see the marks the chair has left on my legs, or how I have been biting my straw. Or how I fidgeted and stared at my glass when, in a sudden bout of inspiration, I told him it all comes down to what we think of the world. What we really think of the world, what we think about it in our hearts. Do we think it is a good place, or a bad place? He doesn't seem to get the importance of what I am saying — but then, did he ever? I'm not even sure if I can grasp it myself. All I know is my answer, a scary little monster staring back at me cheekily: the world is a magical place, where bad things happen all the time, to everyone I know.
(Exmouth, January 2007)
In fact, it is Friday January 19th, the last day of storytelling, and the whole class has had to go out for a twenty-minute walk and come back with a small story about something they had seen. Having done that we are now discussing which ones would be appropriate for Classes 1 and 2, and why. After listening for a while I can't stand it anymore so I stick my hand up and ask John if what we are trying to convey is the sense that all's right with the world. John launches on a long, somewhat disjointed story that is as moving as it is besides the point, or perhaps even more so. He is trying to explain how we can do this –how we stand in front of a class of children and tell them that all is right with the world when so many bad things happen all the time– and why we might want to do it when all I asked was whether that would be a good way of putting what he was trying to say into words. I have no problem telling small children that all is right with the world, no problem at all — in fact not doing so seems more and more cruel every day.
(Athens, March 2006)
I've been reading this book, and, on page 331, it says (that Steiner said):
"This fundamental mood [being filled with the "devotion that one develops in the spiritual world�, which makes the child "give himself up to his enviroment by imitating the people around him�] is a very beautiful, and it must be fostered in the child. It proceeds from the assumption, from the unconsious assumption, that the whole world is of a moral nature.�
It is hard to say, but: if you asked me "what is it like to be you?� (a question I like asking, though hardly ever out loud; I'm not that brave) I'd have to say "well, all my life has been a fight against those who wanted me to believe that it is foolish to think that 'the whole world is of a moral nature'. It has been a struggle to be allowed to believe that.�
If only I could go back to believing that. I think then I would be whole again.
You are sitting in front of your computer, wondering what it is I am trying to say. Well, to put it coarsely, what I am trying to say is that when the part of you that existed before you were born left the place where it was to come here –separating itself from god like a droplet separating from the ocean, as Steiner rather beautifully puts it– it was hoping for a place as beautiful, good and true as the one it left. And that, upon not finding it, it got disappointed. Disgruntled. Disenchanted.
And me? Well — I am looking for the spell that will bring the enchantment back.

The Norwich Native Son / Daughter Award
The Native Son/Daughter Award is presented annually by the Norwich Noontime Rotary Club, the Norwich Sunrise Rotary Club, and the Norwich Woman's City Club. It recognizes outstanding achievements by Norwich, Connecticut natives who reached those achievements while living outside the Norwich area.
The 2018 Norwich Native Son Award will be presented to former Coast Guard Captain Ed Cubanski on May 30th, 2018 at noon at the Holiday Inn, Norwich.
Captain Cubanski attended Wequonnoc Elementary School, Greenville Elementary School, John Moriarty Elementary School, and Kelly Junior High School. He graduated from Norwich Tech in 1984 with a concentration in Electrical Trades. There he earned a Bronze Medal in the 1983 National Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, and a Silver Medal in the 1984 competition.
Cubanski earned the Eagle Scout Award, with six palms, in Troop 4 Norwich.
He graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. In 2004, he was awarded a Master's Degree in Aviation Business Administration from Embry-Riddle University.
He started his Coast Guard career in 1988, serving as an Engineering-Officer-in-Training aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Chase. From 1990-91 he served as an Assistant Engineering Officer aboard the Cutter Hamilton. In 1992, he completed Naval Flight School in Pensacola, Florida. From 1992-96, he served as a HAZMAT Officer and Aviation Engineering Special Services Branch Chief Air Station Miami. From 1997-98, he served as Unit Development Planning Officer Air Station Miami. In 1998-2000 he was a Polar Operations Senior Aviator in Mobile, Ala. He then served from 2000-2003 as a Project Manager for HITRON, Ship Helo and Polar Operations.

After retirement in July of 2016, Cubanski moved to Saratoga Springs and now works for FedEx Ground as an operations manager.

This website was designed as a resource for finding information, viewing updates and happenings within the community.
The Towne House at Lido Beach Condominium is truly one of a kind. It is a beautiful oceanfront community with private access to a white sandy beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Residents can also enjoy a well appointed clubhouse and a solar heated pool. It is located on Lido Boulevard between the Town of Hempstead Beach at Sands and Nassau County's Nickerson Beach.
The complex consists of 224 units in four bi-level courts. The property was purchased by Mel-Lido Realty/Pac-Lido Realty, and construction was completed in 1966.
Across Lido Boulevard, from 1960 to 1963 there was a Nike Ajax missile site as a part of the anti-aircraft defense of New York City. The control center and radar site is now a storage yard for the Long Beach School District buses. The 60 missile magazines and launch units were moved further east, at what is now a nature preserve, west of the water tower.
In 1992 one of the residents, Flo Sanders, organized a group of owners to protect and enlarge the dunes by planting beach grass. Sadly, she passed away shortly thereafter, and the community dedicated a stairway, bench and engraved stone in her honor. Since then, the dunes have increased by several feet. The stone was recently moved, and can now be seen on the north side of the last ridge, near the pool. We all can be thankful Flo had the foresight to start building an initial defense for a storm surge.
During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, these dunes saved our property from massive destructive damage that occurred to other beachfront properties. Although the property sustained damage to the roads, fences, clubhouse and pool, ocean or bay water did not penetrate one apartment. We were so lucky and we have Flo Sander's foresight to thank for this.
Many might not be aware of an interesting story from our beginnings. In 1967 the Town of Hempstead realized that they missed out on the purchase of the property and began proceedings to claim the property. It took two years, but the owners and real estate company were successful in retaining the property and continued to sell the units.

2019: Delta APC House Of Assembly Candidate Promises To Deliver Warri North To Buhari, Ogboru, Uduaghan
The candidate for Warri north constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly come 2019, under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ambassador David Atie, has promised to deliver his constituency to the party.
Ambassador Atie, who emerged candidate for the All Progressive Congress at the just concluded primary election for his constituency where he pulled 169 votes out of the accredited 174 delegates, at Iwere College, Koko, reiterated that his landslide victory at the primary election would be replicated in the 2019 general election.
While fielding questions from Journalists in Koko, the capital of Warri North council area, he noted that a huge deficit had been created due to long years of poor representation, promising that the quality representation, which was hitherto lacking in the constituency, would be restored.
He however alleged that though some disgruntled elements attempted to cause confusion and rancor to disrupt the electoral process of the primary election that was free, fair and transparent.
He warned an impostor claiming to be the candidate of the party and his accomplices to desist from parading himself as candidate of the party, saying by their unlawful actions, they are walking the road to jail.
He narrated that the returning officer, Alexander Onyekeni duly conducted the election with the official delegates list, ballot papers, and result sheets all obtained from the party headquarters and announced a result where he defeated Eyeoyibo Bemigho, who had stepped down his ambition for him few minutes to the commencement of the exercise.
"The All Progressive Congress has an established procedure for electing candidates and has followed it religiously and methodically to a conclusive end, which led to my emergence as the flag-bearer of the party for Warri North State Constituency
"Do our laws, party constitution and guidelines for primary elections permit aspirants to just assemble a handful of rented passers-by to assume both the roles of delegates, election organizers, returning officers, INEC and declare themselves winners? He questioned
While dismissing the act of such detractors as the height of illegality and irresponsibility, he queried who certified and accredited the delegates in the purported primary election before the arrival of the election organizers
He called on party faithful and members of the public to discountenance and treat as fallacious any information or posturing to the contrary.
Atie, also described the presence of former Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan in the APC, as a big boost to the party, adding that with him in the party, the APC is prepared to take over governorship of Delta State in 2019.

Melding spirituality and business seamlessly, Manz finds Jesus the best example for commercial success. He suggests that humility, serving others and unconditional love produce prosperous companies and organizations. Almost miraculously, people live up to the high expectations we have of them. As audiobook aficionados know, author readings can be anything from very professional sounding to disappointingly amateurish. This one is definitely closer to the latter. Manz, obviously reading from a script, is often hesitant as well as stilted. But it's still a heartfelt reading, unaccompanied by music or other effects.

It's only loosely assembled (what's new? as many nuts and bolts were loose when the bike arrived!), but it gives me a chance to get everything all in one place - besides my bedrooms were getting rather cluttered up with the frame in one room, mudguards in another... tank hanging up in my wardrobe (it still is - Ed!)
One thing I have noticed is it's impossible to centre the front wheel within the forks - it's a good 5mm to the nearside - yet the brake back plate is hard up against the offside fork! Perhaps they were all like that? I may see if I can insert a thick washer to pack it out a bit on the nearside, though not by 5mm!

When I was a girl of 10, I joined the school cross-country team and practiced twice a week, on the 1,8-km course I'd never really run before and I thought the course would be easy. It was a real shock I ran out of breathe(喘气)within the first few minutes. I never realized how tiring running could be but I didn't t think about give up.
Over time, I did get a little bit faster. However, I was really slow. In races, I would finish close to last. I'd always have to stop more than once, especially in the longer races, which were 2. 5 to 2. 8 km. After every race, I'd go home and cry. But 1 still didn't stop running, holding onto that picture of crossing the finishing line and finally doing well.
Then one of my friends joined the team, too. She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race! I felt so slow and my confidence(自信) was lower than ever. I became so nervous when I thought of the races that I wanted to give up badly.
Still. I refund to. Finally. 1 realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't ready for them. So a few weeks before the next 2. 8-km race. I practiced running almost 3 km every day. which helped me improve my pace(步伐).
When the time came for the big race, all that practicing really paid off. I stopped only once and my pace was so much better.
I realized that I'd finally gotten happiness with running. But the funny thing was. It didn't come from doing better, Instead, it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up.
1. Before she took the 1.8-km course, the writer________.
A. knew a lot about it B. wanted to be a great runner
C. practiced running every day D. never thought running so tired
2. The writer was nervous about the race because she_______.
A. had to stop to drink water B. was worried she wasn't ready
C. run slower than anyone else D. could find no coach to help her
3. The underlined phrase "paid off" probably mean "______".
A. brought good results B. coat a lot C. saved much time D. came to fail
4. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that the writer______.
A. got angry with her friend B. wasn't pleased with herself
C. was a person with a strong mind D. had no Interest In running
1.D 细节理解题。由第一段第一句" the 1,8-km course I'd never really run before and I thought the course would be easy. "可知,作者原以为越野赛跑是很容易的事,故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。由第四段第二句"I was to nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't ready for them."可知答案选B。
Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles. I was thinking, "I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?" And at one moment, I said to myself, "I am never doing this again!"
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged(慢跑),I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn't know if I could finish.
Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的)that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较)ourselves to others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.

Essential Motion Spine & Sport is an evidence-based and patient-centered practice. We focus on getting to the root of your problem by completing a neurological and functional exam tailored to each individual depending on their presenting symptoms. The treatment plan will address the main causes of joint dysfunction and improper biomechanics that are causing the problem and or symptoms, and not just focusing on the pain. Pain is often the last thing to come and the first thing to go when there is a problem in our bodies. Thus removing the pain is important, but equally important is finding the underlying cause of your problem. Our bodies are made up of several dynamic and ever-changing units which all work and function together to help us achieve optimal health. Therefore, we examine the entire body through functional testing which will give Dr. Buchta an understanding of why the patient is having their symptoms, which then will enable him to educate the patient on active care. There are currently very few doctors in the Elkhorn area who take this approach to patient care.
By using a functional approach, we address the entire body and how it works as a kinetic chain. Our functional treatment can improve not only your pain, but your overall stability, strength, and mobility. For example, if you have low back pain, we want to know how your hip, knee, and foot move and function. At Essential Motion our goal is to deliver a variety of manual therapy techniques such as chiropractic care, functional rehabilitation, and neuromuscular reeducation along with specific soft tissue protocols (A.R.T, Graston, Post Isometric Relaxation, and FAKTR).

There are several areas on my form that are simply just text boxes. They do not appear on the PDF submission because they do not require action of any kind. If possible, I would still like them to be visible on the PDF submission however. Can this be done?
Thank you!

In the form submission page -How-to-view-Submissions please make sure the option Auto Hide Empty Fields is NOT checked.
Empty or unanswered Textbox fields will then be included in the submission PDF view/file.
Let us know if this did not work for you.

On Sunday, Deschutes County Sheriff's deputies responded to a welfare check, which ended with 83 horses being removed from a Terrebonne property due to neglect.
Yesterday, the Sheriff's Office charged the horses' owner and caretaker, 67-year-old Linda B Stream and 41-year-old Christina J Hart of Terrebonne. They were charged with one felony count each of Animal Neglect I. Stream and Hart have been cited to appear into Deschutes County Circuit Court next month.
The Sheriff's Office has had a veterinary team and farriers on-site getting the rescued horses the care they need.
Unfortunately, eight of the horses that were rescued had long term hoof neglect that led to severe abnormalities and excessive hoof wall growth which caused them severe pain, arthritis and laminitis.
Vets determined that the only responsible and humane thing to do was to euthanize those horses. Those eight horses were humanely euthanized late yesterday by a veterinarian.
The Deschutes County Sheriff's Department said its top priority is the care of the remaining 75 horses.

It may come as a surprise to many people that you can actually make money as a musician. It's not uncommon for me to go to some social gathering and be asked, "What do your do for a living?" My typical response is, "I'm a musician. I teach voice and guitar to students interested in learning." Their typical response is either, "Can you make money doing that?" or "I have a friend that plays guitar."
Music was not always my profession. I used to work in a lab for a pharmaceutical company until I decided that I liked music better. But, how was I going to support myself without a job? That's when I came across the perfect solution. I can teach people to love music too. I started building my business out of a spare bedroom in my apartment and eventually it turned into my hiring a team of teachers and running my own music school.
So how did I build a successful teaching business? Keep reading.
1. Don't Be Afraid To Take Risks
I had so many people trying to convince me that I was doing the wrong thing. I had a good secure job with great benefits. How would I pay for my medical insurance and rent? Well, shortly after, some of these people got laid off from their "secure" job and I have made my rent and insurance payments just fine. When starting a business, do not be afraid to go against the grain. It is tough in the beginning, but always worth it in the end.
2. Define Your Business Goals
How much money to you want to make? How much will you charge each month? How many students will it take to get you to your financial goals? How much of your time do you want to commit to teaching each week? Having specific goals is very important. If you want to make $50,000 a year, write it down on a piece of paper and come up with a plan for how to get there.
3. Charge What You Are Worth
Do not be tempted to charge a lower rate. Low prices are seen as lower quality. If your competitor charges $100/hour for lessons, you should also charge $100/hour. See what your competitors are charging and make sure to charge on the higher end of the scale. This will set you apart as a professional that values their time. Also, you will need fewer students to reach your financial goals.
4. Write Out Your Studio Policies
Make sure you are clear about your cancellation, make-up and payment policies. This should be written out in a document and signed by all your students. Make sure to enforce your policies. Remember, these are in place to protect your business, not your client's time.
5. Build A Website
You would be surprised at how many people forget this important step in the process. If you are not on the web, you might as well not exist. Just because you open up shop does not mean that people will come knocking on your door to take lessons. You need to get yourself out there and market yourself. Not only should you build a professional website, you should flyer your neighborhood and post in public spaces like libraries and grocery stores.
6. Create A Neat And Professional Teaching Space
Like I said, I started in a small spare bedroom in my apartment. I framed some albums and hung them on the walls and made sure I had access to the equipment I needed to perform lessons. Make sure your space is neat and dedicated to music. Your students need to feel comfortable in their learning environment and free of distractions. Having dirty laundry lying around and family members or roommates popping in and out of a room will not work in your favor. If you do not have a spare room, think about renting a room.
7. Learn What Makes Your Clients Happy
Too many times teachers get caught up in providing new material to students and teaching things that are not necessarily important to the student. As teachers, it is our responsibility to teach students what the need to know to be successful. But, we also have to give them a large dose of what they want to learn or you can kiss a large part of your clientele good-bye. You should be looking for ways to keep your students coming back week after week. If you are losing clients quickly, you need to re-examine your teaching approach and ask your student what they want from their lessons.
Follow these steps and you will be on the way to building a successful business yourself. There are many steps that you will learn along the way, but in the beginning, the most important step is getting started. There is no better time than today to start building your business.

Well okay, I did add an SSD…
So I went ahead an ordered an SSD, because i figured..why the hell not. Now I still need a new case, but that i'll get in October. I bought a Samsung 830 128GB bulk, for 110€. It ought to be a fairly well performing drive, but above all, fairly reliable based on reviews I've read.
I'm hopefully getting the drive either today or tomorrow, so I'll report on performance once I have it set up.

A Utilitarian Burial
In your "Egghead" column, it is stated that Jeremy Bentham's corpse was preserved according to his wishes. Unfortunately, as so often happens, his last wishes were not fulfilled in accordance with his will. His wish was to have his clothed skeleton displayed, not a dressed, mummified corpse. I attach herewith the.

True Grits
In his "Dialogue" on population, Ben Wattenberg refers to something slicing through something else "like a laser through grits."
The metaphor is initially appealing, but on further examination it demands clarification from Engineer Wattenberg. A laser strikes one as a particularly infelicitous tool for grits-slicing. Awkwardness aside (we're not talking laser pen-pointers here; do we take the laser to the breakfast table or the grits to the laser?), at least two practical difficulties arise: As the slicing begins, some considerable quantity of steam should be produced, shielding the subject grits from our slicing instrument. Moreover, sliced grits show a disconcerting tendency toward self-healing. I'm reminded of thousands of Egyptian extras following Charlton Heston into the (temporarily) parted Red Sea. Will the grits stay sliced? I think not.

Why Couldn't He Be Kam Ho? Or Chin Fong?
From "Today's Papers" on Jan. 23: "Amidst all this, Jack Lord and his hair died. The obits fail to clear up an abiding mystery: Why did Kam Fong play 'Chin Ho'? Why couldn't he just be 'Kam Fong'?"
Sorry, but this is pretty offensive. Would Shuger ever have said: "Why did Irving Goldberg play 'Sol Bernstein'? Why couldn't he just be 'Irving Goldberg'?" or "Why did Luigi Santini play 'Giuseppi Romano'? Why couldn't he just be 'Luigi Santini'?" That boy needs an editor. Can't you pay somebody else to stay up all night to keep a lid on his, er, excesses?

Greed Goeth Before a Fall
Nancy Griffin writes in "Hollywood Strikes Back" that Michael Eisner extended an olive branch to former friend Mike Ovitz, but Ovitz declined to accept it. She then notes that Ovitz might be someone whose pride exceeds his greed.
This is an absurd statement. Ovitz didn't engineer a $90-million severance package because he was proud of leaving Disney or his brainchild, Creative Artists Agency. And now that he has more money than God (or, at least, Oral Roberts), he doesn't need Eisner's friendship. He can open a studio on his own and thumb his nose at everyone else.

The Troubles
In "The Luck of the Irish," James Surowiecki makes statements that are flat-out false, and omits many issues that are at the real root of the problems.
The Irish Republican Army always notifies ahead of time when a bomb will be set off in a civilian area. There is an established code just for that. He omitted this fact. When Surowiecki calls the Irish Catholics a minority he should point out that they make up 45 percent of Northern Ireland. But only 5 percent of Irish Catholics have been accepted into the police force.
Further, there was no mention of the release of Robert "Basher" Bates. Bates, who took part in dozens of murders of Catholics, has spent less time in prison than Joe Doherty, who was convicted of one killing. (Bates' method was to beat the victims with hammers and then dismember them with butcher knives.)
Finally, the founding fathers of the United States promised to help free Ireland. On Oct. 4, 1778, Ben Franklin assured the Irish, who made up half of Washington's army, that he was "charged to assure you that means will be found by the Continental Congress to establish your freedom." On June 17, 1781, Franklin said of Ireland, "Now is the time for France and the United States to help secure her independence."
Had America kept its word, Surowiecki wouldn't have anything to lie about.

Small Cap stocks have lagged in relative strength versus their larger-cap brethren. Recently, however, improved market breadth has brought along a resurgence in small caps.
Note the improved relative strength in Small Cap Value (IJS) and the Russell 2000 (IWM) ETF's as a ration of the indices with the S&P 500. Broader market participation of the small cap sector invites us to seek growth and value-oriented small cap opportunties.

Wow, time got away from me again. I've been elbow deep in my Challenge project, tinkering with random concepts for future development, spending some time with the 3ds max Bible to learn some new tricks, and just generally jumping through the hoops of life.
Today I've been tinkering with a 20 ton fighter for a 3000 ton pocket carrier I'm experimenting with. The thing that sucks about carried craft is the fact that the allowances made for in the rules make it damn tricky to design a vehicle that fits in that space and still leaves some area to walk around and do maintenance on it, especially on things like carriers. Launch tubes exacerbate the problem, because now you've got to taking moving the fighters into launch position into account.
Anyway, hopefully a bit more later today. I will endeavor to throw up some of the other concepts in the works tonight sometime, and try to get into a little more solid groove with this blog.

Some movies consider second chances--Brett Ratner's
"The Family Man," for example--about what sort of life we
might have had if only.... Other movies in a similar vein are
more realistic. We can't change what happened years ago,
but Michael Winterbottom's "The Claim" instructs us about
what one man does when given the chance to make up for a
moral failure in the past. "The Claim" is not about a guy who
goes to summer school to make up for his 55 in Computer
Science. In fact the film takes place principally in 1869,
before computers or electric light bulbs were invented and
about the time that cameras began taking snapshots and
views of town life. In fact thanks largely to the invention of
photography, Winterbottom's crew, particularly production
designer Mark Tildesley, were able to reconstruct a California
town just as it looked 130 years ago--not the easiest job
considering that the hamlet was erected in minus thirty
degrees temperature with winds sometimes gusting to one
hundred miles per hour.
Winterbottom's camera man, Alwin Kuchler, captures the
majesty of Fortress Mountain high in the Canadian Rockies to
simulate the wild west town of Kingdom Come, California--
some twenty years after the discovery of gold led to the
migration of a half million people of pioneer spirit in search of
wealth and a greater degree of independence than the East
could afford. Winterbottom's picture, then, is a western
complete with a town bar (although the manager here is not
named Kitty), with just a fraction of the gunplay of the
traditional genre movie popular during the forties and fifties,
and with some moments of peak drama of the sort exploited
by Fred Zinnemann's "High Noon."
Inspired by Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge"
this tale of greed, guilt, and redemption scripted by Frank
Cottrell Boyce centers on a man who is more than the chief
political honcho of the town of Kingdom Come, Daniel Dillon
(Peter Mullan). Dillon runs the town because he owns
everything in it--the bar, the brothel, the bank, the respect of
all who know him and never call him anything but Mr. Dillon.
In a few brief flashbacks that take us back twenty years, we
find out that he acquired his wealth when, trudging in knee-
deep snow out in nowhere with his wife and newborn baby,
he agrees to a Faustian bargain. In return for a bag of gold
from a man who insists that he needs a woman more than
the money, he sells his wife Elena (Natassja Kinski) and his
newborn, Hope (Sarah Polley). During the years of living the
high life, Daniel enjoys the carnal companionship of barkeep
and brothel manager Lucia (Milla Jovovich) and appears to
lack only a railroad to pass through the town--without which
the village could not long prosper. As Donald Dalglish (Wes
Bentley) scouts areas to find the ideal locations for the tracks
that his company is prepared to construct, he is courted by
Dillon (who tries unsuccessfully to bribe the young man) and
in turn by the lovely twenty-year-old Hope--who has traveled
to the burg with her mother unaware that Dillon is her sell-out
Winterbottom presumably shows us what California was
like without the glitter and gloss that slickly commercial
westerns have afforded. We see that the men rarely change
their clothes and are the sorts that we today would probably
move far away from if traveling with them on the very tracks
that were built over a century ago by thousands of
immigrants making just pennies a day. The views of the
Rockies are stunning; covered with snow, streams running
through, still virgin land beginning to smart at the
rapaciousness of the builders and miners.
What the movie lacks, however, is sufficient character and
plot development. Moviegoers could be confused by the
flashbacks were they not aware of the ill deed done twenty
years earlier by the principal character, whose feeling of guilt
comes dramatically to the surface when confronted by his
wife and daughter. The romance between Hope Dillon and
railroad scout Donald Dalglish is odd. Though love at first
sight does indeed exist, only Sarah Polley's in the role of the
innocent but curious twenty-year-old comes across
convincingly. Nastassja Kinski, remarkable in Roman
Polanski's "Tess" (also based on a novel by Thomas Hardy),
gets little to do but flash her ghostly, consumption-ridden
pallor across the screen. Peter Mullan's rendition of a virtual
Nineteenth Century baron--whose fate is foreshadowed when
one of the locals performing in the bar delivers a rendition of
Percy Byshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" written in 1817--
overshadows the rest of the cast whether loudly shutting up
the chatty denizens of the bar during a recital by his daughter
or simply looking morose when ultimately considering the
meaninglessness of his wealth. The Glaswegian perfomer is
well suited to a cast representing the large body of European
immigrants (in this case from Ireland) who had left their
famine-stricken lands in search of gold and glory.
While all that glitters is not gold in Winterbottom's film of
American pioneers, many of whom left the claustrophobic
confines of effete cities while others fled from the insularity of
their European homelands--"The Claim" is a reasonably good
meshing of a personal story with a chapter of America at a
time that rugged individualism, and not paper shuffling in
office cubicles, was the order of the day.

Chapter 865 – Two Conditions
Facing Situ Haotian's question, Old Man Good Fortune said at a moderate pace, "I would like Divine Emperor Haotian to agree to two conditions!"
"Do continue," Situ Haotian's complexion was downcast. It was impossible to tell just what he was thinking at the moment.
"Firstly, about the two Saint artifact treasures with Situ Yaoyue, both you and Little Friend Lin Lanjian here will take a step back. Of the two Saint artifacts, Little Friend Lin Lanjian will be able to take his choice of one!"
Old Man Good Fortune hadn't even finished speaking when Situ Yaoxi cried out in alarm and anger. She really would have liked to shove her middle finger at Old Man Good Fortune's nose and hurl insults at him, but she didn't have the courage to do so. "Senior Good Fortune, while I do respect you as a senior, today you have clearly shown favor and bias towards Lin Lanjian! The Demon God Heartguard Mirror and the Great Desolate Blood Halberd are both national treasures of my Asura Divine Kingdom, so why should we give them to him!?"
Old Man Good Fortune chuckled and then slowly said, "Because of 'principle'!"
"You…" Situ Yaoxi was so angry that she felt her intestines twisting. Old Man Good Fortune had made it clear that her Asura Divine Kingdom was the one being unreasonable and unprincipled.
"Today's matter, since it is a life or death struggle, then even if the Demon God Heartguard Mirror and Great Desolate Blood Halberd were to be taken by Little Friend Lin Lanjian, then by all rights, there shouldn't be any problems. You should know when to take a step back and be able to tell the difference between right and wrong." Although Old Man Good Fortune's words were spoken calmly, everyone present was able to discern the warning within them.
But how could this possibly convince Situ Yaoxi? Her face was grim as she said, "While I may not be in the right today, strength is always the greatest truth! Why should my noble Divine Kingdom bother speaking about principles with this little bastard?"
As she spoke, all of the martial artists present were flabbergasted. Situ Yaoxi was truly shameless to the point of not caring about face. This had been a life or death struggle fought in front of many of the world's martial artists! However, upon her loss, not only had she gone back on her promise, she also spoke confidently, as if she were in the right.
At this time, a light laugh echoed out. "Situ Yaoxi, you keep on breaking your promises and yet still dare to act so righteously about things. You have truly opened my mind!"
As everyone heard these words, they were quite startled. Anyone that would dare say such provocative words must undoubtedly be a Divine Sea powerhouse!
There was another Divine Sea powerhouse joining the fray!
Everyone followed the voice to see a beautiful fairy-like woman flying in the wind, her white clothes fluttering about her. She was Fairy Snow Gale, with a handsome young man standing above a golden divine carriage at her side. This young man had a heavenly, jade-like appearance – he was the Nine Furnace Crown Prince, Yang Yun!
"Fairy Snow Gale! Yang Yun!"
"I've heard that Fairy Snow Gale has already long since reached the peak of the early Divine Sea realm. Moreover, she's not too old. She should have a high chance of breaking into the middle Divine Sea realm!"
"Fairy Snow Gale comes from the White Clan, and the White Clan is part of the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom. They had problems with the Asura Divine Kingdom to begin with, so Fairy Snow Gale certainly isn't afraid of offending Situ Haotian!"
"Fairy Snow Gale is also stepping in, and things are really becoming interesting!" All of the martial artists present had the mindset of watching these entertaining events play out. Out of the four Divine Kingdoms, the Asura Divine Kingdom was the only one that followed the demonic path. They were a nation of people who recklessly followed their most debased natures, and were naturally cruel and violent individuals. It was inevitable that they had managed to offend a great number of influences. Thus, the Asura Divine Kingdom had a very poor reputation around the world. As people saw Old Man Good Fortune, Fairy Snow Gale, and even Yang Yun step forwards, all of them were secretly taking pleasure in the Asura Divine Kingdom's troubles.
"Strength is indeed the greatest truth. Thus, if you really plan on waging war, do you really believe the Asura Divine Kingdom will occupy the overwhelming advantage?" Fairy Snow Gale slowly said with a tranquil expression. Her words lacked any killing intent, and she spoke as if she were just discussing the weather. However, the implicit meaning in her words left Situ Haotian drenched in cold sweat.
Fairy Snow Gale's meaning was that once war started, she would join Lin Ming along with Old Man Good Fortune. If that happened, then the Asura Divine Kingdom's fate could be easily imagined!
No matter how haughty and domineering Situ Yaoxi was, she still didn't dare to speak up anymore at this point.
In this dimensional realm, the Asura Divine Kingdom was surrounded by countless enemies on all sides. Before, these enemies had been deterred by Situ Haotian's strength; none had dared to step forwards. They were afraid that if a fight broke out, they would be severely wounded, or even killed by him.
But now that the massive tree of Old Man Good Fortune was sheltering them, these people no longer felt the least bit of pressure in revealing themselves. Moreover, Fairy Snow Gale had thoughts of befriending Lin Ming to begin with, so stepping forwards at this time was also an appropriate matter.
Situ Haotian's complexion became increasingly dismal. He didn't even greet Fairy Snow Gale, but instead coldly said to Old Man Good Fortune, "Senior Good Fortune, please speak your second condition."
Fairy Snow Gale thought little of it. She naturally sauntered near Lin Ming's side, obviously with the meaning of shielding him.
At such a close distance, Lin Ming could even smell the light and airy fragrance drifting from Fairy Snow Gale's body. Although he knew perfectly well just why Fairy Snow Gale had stepped up now, she had still helped him. Lin Ming recorded this graciousness in his heart.
"The second condition…." Old Man Good Fortune stroked his grey beard and faintly smiled "That is to place Situ Yaoyue in the Forsaken God Clan's Realmheart Great Hall for three years. You may send someone to guard her for this time period, but she cannot be allowed to leave the Realmheart Great Hall by even a single step. I believe that the Forsaken God Clan will assure us that Situ Yaoyue will remain absolutely safe."
"What?" Situ Haotian's thick eyebrows shot up. This condition basically meant that he wanted to take Situ Yaoyue as a hostage. Even a fool could see that Situ Yaoxi and Situ Bonan would continue to hunt down Lin Ming. If Lin Ming stayed in the Forsaken God Clan, then he would certainly be safe; however, if he went out to adventure, then he would be in grave danger. If the Asura Divine Kingdom finally lost all rationale and reasoning in the end, then they might even truly make war with the Forsaken God Clan!
The reason that Old Man Good Fortune wanted to take Situ Yaoyue as a hostage was to give Lin Ming three years. With Lin Ming's speed of growth, this was the time that Old Man Good Fortune decided Lin Ming would need in order to gain the strength to preserve his life in front of a Divine Sea powerhouse.
"Absolutely impossible!" Situ Yaoxi barked out like a rabid dog. "Why should I believe the Forsaken God Clan? Why should I imprison Yaoyue here!?"
As Shibai heard Old Man Good Fortune's second condition, his eyes began to shine. This was indeed a very good method. He stepped forwards and said, "My Forsaken God Clan's Realmheart Great Hall is the fulcrum that supports the heart of this dimensional realm. Even someone on the level of the highest under the heavens will find it impossible to break through. Situ Yaoyue will have absolute safety within, and you can also have someone sent over to guard her. As for us killing Situ Yaoyue, you don't have to be an idiot to know that we wouldn't do something so unreasonable! Situ Yaoxi, your reaction just now was so dramatic, could it be possible that you were already thinking of ways to eliminate Little Brother Lin in these next few years!?"
Facing Shibai's question, Situ Yaoxi's eyes revealed a thick killing intent. Indeed, she had been preparing to deal with Lin Ming. Assassination, murder, whatever it took; she would stop at nothing to slaughter him. However, if they controlled Yaoyue's life then that was the same as holding onto her throat. How could she possibly agree to this?
Old Man Good Fortune didn't have much of an expression. He looked towards Situ Haotian, "Divine Emperor Haotian, what do you think?"
Situ Haotian's originally narrowed eyes slowly opened, a terrifying, breathtaking light suddenly bursting from within. At this moment, Situ Haotian's aura suddenly surged outwards, causing all of the martial artists present to gasp out loud. It was like an ancient vicious beast had suddenly awoken from a deep slumber!
Situ Haotian had always been hiding his abilities. 2500 years ago, when he was just 90 years old, he had taken his seventh stage Life Destruction cultivation and successfully crossed the Divine Sea. The only aspect in which he was inferior to Situ Yaoyue was her Extreme Violet Dantian. It had already been several hundred years since he had last fought, and it was rumored that he was the top powerhouse amongst all middle Divine Sea martial artists. It was said that he was only weaker than the Nine Furnace Highest Divine Emperor and the Sublime Smelting Imperial Grand Uncle, and that he was stronger that the Seven Star Divine Emperor.
As for where the limits of his true strength lay, no one knew.
"This is…is Situ Haotian planning to fight?"
"What can he do in this situation, is he planning on fighting both Old Man Good Fortune and Fairy Snow Gale? That is impossible!"
"No kidding. Once they begin to fight, then the Asura Divine Kingdom will lose without a doubt!"
Even if Situ Haotian were much stronger than he was now, the solemn dignity and majesty of Old Man Good Fortune was already stamped into everyone's hearts. He was an unrivalled powerhouse that had already lived for 8000 years, an existence close to being the highest under the heavens.
Moreover, despite the fact that he didn't come from a sect or family clan, he was still able to reach this level today. In these 8000 years, it was impossible to count how many people he must have killed or how many life or death situations he had survived. Although he looked kind and benign like an old grandfather on the outside, who knew just what sort of terrifying ability he would show once he broke out in anger. That would truly be an earth-shaking scene!
However, the event that no one thought could possibly happen was actually happening!
Situ Haotian suddenly stepped forwards, his eyes blazing as he looked at Old Man Good Fortune. "Senior Good Fortune, as you say, strength is the greatest truth in the martial world! I have always diligently and eagerly tried to increase my own strength. However, for the last 1000 years, although I gained a few faint understandings on my martial road, I am still stranded at the bottleneck between the middle and late Divine Sea realm, and have been unable to make a breakthrough. Now that I am so lucky to see Senior today, I hope that Senior can give me advice on three moves so that I might gain some lucky insights. Senior, what do you think?"
Situ Haotian's surprising words were stubborn to the point of death. Although his tone was polite, and he had limited this spar to three moves, it still didn't change the fact that he had challenged Old Man Good Fortune!
Situ Haotian was an absolute madman!
"He's crazy! Situ Haotian wants to fight Old Man Good Fortune!"
"Stop making such a fuss over nothing. Situ Haotian is an extremely smart person. If he limits himself to three moves, then he might be able to withstand it!"
As people were talking, it was unknown just who was it that said, "Speaking of it, I fear that Old Man Good Fortune is probably reaching the end of his natural life…."
As the martial artists present heard this, all of them were bewildered.
That's right! A late Divine Sea powerhouse was said to have 10,000 years of life, but the truth was that they often lived to only 8000-9000 years of life. There were many reasons for this. For instance, they might overdraw their life or be wounded in battle, or perish as they explored a mystic realm. Whatever the reasons were, the truth was that very few late Divine Sea powerhouses lived to be 9000 years old.
To a martial artist, time was their most terrifying opponent. The martial arts road could be said to be a daily struggle with the heavens. In the currently known martial arts boundary, no one had ever been able to obtain eternal life. No matter how remarkable or talented you were, and whether you were an unrivalled Emperor or the highest under the heavens, in the end, time would slowly sap away all of your strength. Time would age you until the fires of your life were exhausted, and you finally died.
Old Man Good Fortune was already reaching the end of his natural life. But all reasons given, he shouldn't have much of his peak strength remaining.
On the other hand, Situ Haotian was only 2600 years old. He was at the age when a middle Divine Sea powerhouse was in their prime, their combat strength having reached its peak!
If they truly fought, then although Situ Haotian might not be able to win, he still might have the strength to protect himself. Also, this was only for three moves!
Situ Haotian only needed to survive three moves and create a draw. That would be enough to have his name shock the world, frightening everyone!
And at that time, Old Man Good Fortune would also be too embarrassed to continue. The reason that Old Man Good Fortune was able to mediate the situation today was because he relied on his strength and status as someone close to the highest under the heavens. But, if he fought Situ Haotian and still couldn't prevail in three moves, then what basis did he have to stick his nose into their business?
Once Old Man Good Fortune retreated, then Fairy Snow Gale and Yang Yun naturally would have no reason to step forwards anymore.
Thus, this was the reason he had only proposed three moves.Previous Chapter Next Chapter

|Astrophysics (index)
Metallicity in its general sense is the amount of metals (as per astrophysics, lithium and all heavier elements) in an astronomical object as compared to the whole, i.e., metals plus non-metals, hydrogen and helium. Metallicity is of interest for stars, globular clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters, molecular clouds, etc. Since heavier elements are synthesized over time, and the universe was nearly all hydrogen at the Big Bang, metallicity expresses an object's age, history, or genesis. A galaxy with high metallicity has lived long enough to gain it and a star with high metallicity may have been formed from gas from previous stars.
In the term metallicity's strictest sense, it is expressed by the letter Z which is defined to be the mass ratio (mass fraction) of metals to all elements, with X representing the mass ratio of hydrogen to all elements and Y similarly for helium, and X + Y + Z = 1.0. The Sun's Z value is still under study but is around .02.
Metallicity of other objects is often expressed differently, in what could be called metal abundance, which relates the ratio of the count of metal atoms to all atoms of the object to the same for the Sun. This is expressed in bracket notation:
[M/H] = log10(Nmetals/NH)body - log10(Nmetals/NH)Sun
where Nmetals is the number of metal atoms and NH is the number of hydrogen atoms. As such, "[M/H] = 0" means "same metal abundance as the Sun".
This is often approximated by measuring the abundance of a specific metal that can be measured in a practical manner, typically iron. Consequently, the abundance specifically of iron (the ratio [Fe/H]) is often used as a proxy to express the metallicity of stars, galaxies, etc. The metallicity Z can be approximated by multiplying [Fe/H] by a number in the .9 to 1.0 range.
Stars can be categorized are into three groups according to metallicity, known as stellar populations:
An age-metallicity relation for stars and galactic clusters, is generally accepted.
In gas, metallicity affects optical thickness: the higher the metallicity, the optically thinner.
The abundances of other metals in stars, etc., are often stated relative to iron, e.g., [Si/Fe] or [O/Fe]. When [Fe/H] is also established, abundances of these elements relative to hydrogen are evident. Oxygen is more common in higher mass stars and carbon in lower mass. A [C/O] of 1.0 is high.
The phrase bulk metallicity has been used to refer to:
Mass-metallicity relations have been observed for various types of objects: galaxy clusters, galaxies, stars, and giant planets. Metallicity is presumed to affect planet formation, i.e., providing solid material for rocky planets, and cores of gas planets. The resulting distribution could affect dynamics: how many planets are within a radius likely to result in impacts, or at a radius more likely to result in ejection from the planetary system.
