Yuzu (Citrus junos, from Japanese 柚子 or ユズ) is a citrus fruit and plant in the family Rutaceae of East Asian origin. It is believed to have originated in central China as a hybrid of mandarin orange and the ichang papeda.
|Scientific classification
C. junos
|Binomial name
|Citrus junos
The yuzu is called yuja (from Korean 유자) in Korean cuisine. Both Japanese yuzu and Korean yuja are borrowings of the Chinese yòuzi (柚子), though this Chinese word now refers to the pomelo.
The fruit looks somewhat like a small grapefruit with an uneven skin, and can be either yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. Yuzu fruits, which are very aromatic, typically range between 5.5 cm (2.16 in) and 7.5 cm (2.95 in) in diameter, but can be as large as a regular grapefruit (up to 10 cm (3.93 in) or larger).
Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, which commonly has many large thorns. Leaves are notable for a large, leaf-like petiole, resembling those of the related kaffir lime and ichang papeda, and are heavily scented.
Yuzu closely resembles sudachi (Citrus sudachi, a Japanese citrus from Tokushima Prefecture, a yuzu–mandarin orange cross) in many regards, though unlike the sudachi, yuzu eventually ripen to an orange colour and there are subtle differences between the flavours of the fruit.
The leaves have large leaf-like petioles.

The yuzu originated and grows wild in central China and its Tibet region. It was introduced to Japan and Korea during the Tang dynasty, and is still cultivated there.[1] It grows slowly, generally requiring 10 years to fruit.[citation needed] To shorten duration to fruiting, it may be grafted onto karatachi (P. trifoliata).[citation needed] It is unusual among citrus plants in being relatively frost-hardy, due to its cold-hardy Ichang papeda ancestry, and can be grown in regions with winters as low as −9 °C (15 °F) where more sensitive citrus would not thrive.[citation needed]
Varieties and similar fruitsEdit
In Japan, an ornamental version of yuzu called hana yuzu (花柚子, 花ゆず) "flower yuzu" is also grown for its flowers rather than its fruit. A sweet variety of yuzu known as the yuko, only present in Japan, became severely endangered during the 1970s and 1980s; a major attempt has been made to revive this varietal in southern Japan.[2] Another variety of yuzu in Japan, with knobby skin, is called shishi yuzu (獅子柚子, literally "lion yuzu").[3]
Dangyuja, a Korean citrus fruit from Jeju Island, is often considered a type of yuzu due to its similar shape and flavour, but it is genetically a variety of pomelo.
East AsiaEdit
Culinary useEdit
Though rarely eaten as a fruit, yuzu is a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, where the aromatic zest (outer rind) as well as juice are used much in the same way that lemons are used in other cuisines. The yuzu's flavour is tart and fragrant, closely resembling that of the grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange.
It is an integral ingredient (along with sudachi, daidai, and other similar citrus fruits) in the citrus-based sauce ponzu, and yuzu vinegar is also produced. Yuzu is often combined with honey to make yuzu hachimitsu (柚子蜂蜜)—a kind of syrup that is used to make yuzu tea (柚子茶), or as an ingredient in alcoholic drinks such as the yuzu sour (柚子サワー).[4] Yuzu kosho (also yuzukosho, literally "yuzu and pepper"), is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or yellow yuzu zest, green or red chili peppers, and salt.
It is used to make liquor (such as yuzukomachi, 柚子小町) and wine.[5][6] Slivered yuzu rind is used to garnish a savoury, salty egg-pudding dish called chawanmushi, as well as miso soup.[7] It is often used along with sudachi and kabosu.
Yuzu is used to make various sweets including marmalade and cake. It is used extensively in the flavouring of many snack products, such as Doritos.[8][9][10]
In Korean cuisine, yuja is most commonly used to make yuja-cheong (유자청, yuja marmalade) and yuja tea. Yuja-cheong can be made by sugaring peeled, depulped, and thinly sliced yuja, and yuja-cha (yuja tea) can be made by mixing hot water with yuja-cheong. Yuja-hwachae (유자화채, yuja punch), a variety of hwachae (fruit punch), is another common dessert made with yuja. Yuja is also a common ingredient in Korean-style western food, such as salads.[11]

Yuja bread sold in Yeosu
Other usesEdit
Yuzu is also known for its characteristically strong aroma, and the oil from its skin is marketed as a fragrance. In Japan, bathing with yuzu on Tōji, the winter solstice, is a custom that dates to at least the early 18th century.[12][13][14] Whole yuzu fruits are floated in the hot water of the bath, sometimes enclosed in a cloth bag, releasing their aroma.[15] The fruit may also be cut in half, allowing the citrus juice to mingle with the bathwater. The yuzu bath, known commonly as yuzu yu (柚子湯), but also as yuzu buro (柚子風呂), is said to guard against colds, treat the roughness of skin,[13] warm the body, and relax the mind.
The body of the taepyeongso, a Korean traditional oboe, close to the Chinese Suona or the Zurna, is often made from jujube, mulberry or yuzu wood.
Beginning in the early 21st century, yuzu has been increasingly used by chefs in the United States and other Western nations, achieving notice in a 2003 article in The New York Times.[16]
In the United States the Department of Agriculture banned the import of fresh yuzu from abroad — both the fruit and the trees.[17]

Trails of debris, rooftops blown into sand, a photograph of a two-week-old baby.
She said, I just wanted someone from my family to call, to see if we're OK—
and the tornado's breath came from her, stuttering sobs as loud as the storm.

For one reason or another, mostly health related, we had not visited the Butterfly Garden at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. So Valentine Day seemed like a good time to do it, since the rather was on the cold side for Florida. Sun was out and a little breeze for macro, but were going to be inside an enclosure, so it should be OK.
Lots of people since it was a week-end. We were there early and enjoyed lots of spots with shade. Sun will yield tremendous contrast and many times, white glare from the sunlit leaves in the background, so we avoided it. The cool weather was perfect because they get a bit lethargic. Happy butterflies move too much for good pictures.
We took a lot of gear, not knowing which would work better. One camera, the new Sony a7 mkII, and a handful of lenses: Leica 35 Summilux, Leica 75 Summicron, Sony 70-200G with extension tubes, Lensbaby Sweet 35 and Edge 80. No tripods, although they are allowed, I would think kind of difficult when the place is busy. You gear will most likely end up on the ground. No flash is allowed in consideration to a couple of Hummingbirds in there. I was laughing thinking the ones in Costa Rica and Ecuador must be extinct right now with the 8 flash set-ups.
Since I wanted a certain look to the pictures, most successful came from the 35mm with close up filter and the 70-200 with extension tubes. All wide open in my case.
Looking forward to our next expedition, on a week day this time, to work a little more comfortably.

Ideas Ive tried, seen, heard or had passed on from family and friends that offer a helping hand and make life easier.... who wouldnt want things easy and simplified?!
- Stop sticky hands and dripping by placing a patty pan up onto stick of an ice-cream or icey-pole.
- When you open a jar of food that wont be all getting used up in one go (eg tomato paste, marinades, apple sauce), write the date of opening on the lid in permanent marker so you can keep check of its freshness. Often the labels will say 'consume within 3-7 days'. This way you can keep track.
- If you listen to music on your phone and dont have a dock/speakers, try placing the phone in a bowl and it will amplify the music.

Well, Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. is on my plugins list and "Always Activate" is ticked, so it's enabled. I've tried disabling and reenabling Widevine and starting in Safe Mode and that hasn't fixed the problem. What do you think could be causing it?

The problem appears to be fixed for me now, and, yes, the DRM icon did appear in the left side of the URL bar. I have no idea what was causing this to happen, but maybe I can check WebDeveloper if it happens again, like you suggested.

Latin was once more than just the language of the Mass. Latin underlay the entire culture of the Church. It was the language in which the popes wrote their encyclicals, the language used by philosophers and theologians, the language of Canon Law and Church documents, of St. Jerome's Vulgate Bible. Priests and religious from all over the world spoke to one another in Latin. The writings of the great Western saints and spiritual masters, the rules of religious orders, and the Western Church's vast treasury of hymns, poems, and prayers were all composed in Latin. Beneath it all lay the solid bedrock of Roman culture -- of Virgil, Juvenal, and Cicero -- which the Church had cherished almost as tenderly as her own offspring. Latin was the true language of the Church, a language that could always be relied upon to convey precise information because its meanings were fixed.Share

Latin and the Cultural Decline
Latin and the Cultural Decline
3 comments:
I have heard that the study of Latin has made a resurgence in high school. That was another cultural icon of education that was thrown out in the '60's.
- December 7, 2007 at 12:15:00 PM EST
My public high school offered Latin as a foreign language. (I took French)
My dad took Latin as a language when he was in public high school during the 60s. He wishes he took something else though.
I heard some Latin during Lent during our weekly children's Mass. (I attended a K-8 parish school) All I remember now is the Kyrie. It would've been helpful, especially for the younger kids, if the priest had explained why he was using Latin for some of the responses during various times of the Mass.

Yes, alaughland, I think learning Latin is helpful on many levels. Studying Latin was once part of being an educated person.
I agree, Elisa, it is helpful for the reason for Latin to be explained and slowly introduced, not just thrown at people. I think Our Holy Father has shown a lot of wisdom in how he explained the traditions of the Roman rite in the Motu Proprio. Of course, there are now so many blogs and resources on the internet that explain the Catholic traditions of the liturgy that if someone really wants to learn the basics of liturgical Latin, they certainly can.

By Renewable Energy Focus staff
The All Islands Approach to energy resources across the British Islands and Ireland aims to encourage and enable developers to exploit commercial opportunities for generation and transmission, facilitate the cost-effective exploitation of the renewable energy resources available, and increase integration of our markets and improves security of supply.
Charles Hendry, UK Minister of State for Energy, says: "There is a massive potential source of clean, green, secure energy that remains untapped in the Irish Sea and onshore in Ireland, as well as around the Channel Islands. But because Ireland's energy demand is only slightly larger than that of Yorkshire and Humberside, there has been little incentive to exploit the resource.
"Optimising the natural renewable resource available around our islands would benefit us all. It makes much more sense to develop and share clean, green, secure energy with our neighbours than import vast amounts of fossil fuels from far flung parts of the world."

Philosophical Concepts in the Work of Borges
Jorge Luis Borges, born on August 24th, 1899, originally started his career by publishing poems and essays in literary journals. It did not take him long, however, to begin the transition from writing non-fictional essays about magic to short stories that wove tales of alternate realities and paradoxical concepts. "The book which is normally considered to mark this transition is his Historia universal de la infamia(1935)" (Dyson 90). In fact, upon analyzing Borges' short stories, many literary critics cannot unanimously agree on the meaning within each work. Although Borges' works have multiple interpretations, the common theme of the physical manifestation of dreamt objects and the ideas of undefined reality are prominent in his short stories.
A theory stating that reality is of the nature of thought, or that an object of external perception consists of ideas, defines idealism. Borges expands upon this definition in many of his short stories, specifically "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," a story about the effect human perception has on reality.
In the story, a series of events leads the human race to physically imprint upon Earth the characteristics of the formerly fictional planet, Tlon. This assimilation bothers the narrator as he complains, "Already Tlon's (conjectural) 'primitive language' has filtered into our schools; already the teaching of Tlon's harmonious history (filled with moving episodes) has obliterated the history that governed my own childhood" (Borges 81). Idealism, as portrayed in "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", suggests that simply through a nearly unanimous agreement on a particular topic or subject, the object in question can press itself upon physical reality. Such a statement then bids the question, what is real? What evidence is there that any particular object or even a specific person was not once merely an...

We didn't play this one for long, as we suddenly figured the PT demo will bother me more. And everyone seems to like seeing me jump and act like a fool!
Silent Hills PT
Watch out for the moments where both of us completely jump at the ghostly encounters. I was incredibly on edge throughout this. Silent Hill has always really got under my skin! You can see our first proper jumpy moment at a mere 2 mins, 52 seconds in.

A New Jersey Transit train derailed at Penn Station Thursday night, just days before extensive track work is scheduled to begin at the transit hub.
About 180 people were on the North Jersey Coast Line train from Long Branch, which was nearing the station when the slow-speed derailment happened at 9 p.m.
No injuries were reported. Only one car left the tracks and passengers were transferred to another train that was sent to pick them up.
Amtrak and the Long Island railroad said their trains would not be affected, but NJ Transit said its riders should expect "extensive'' delays this Friday morning.
It's the third recent derailment at Penn station. The others were in March and April and led to major delays and cancellations. Read more at NY POST.

Sorry for the lack of photos throughout. I'll try to get some images up later.
This week is all about the crazies. First we get some great backstory on Jimmy and Mommy Dearest. It's everything you've dreamed of. (If you're me.)
Then there's Margaret who is still not handling Emily's illness very well. Remember when she was the voice of reason on this show? Father Brennan's got his claws in here and those days seem to be behind us.
And finally Van Alden who we always knew was a bit off (remember the self-flagellation in season one?). This week we learn a little about his childhood and then we get to see him — not for the first time — lose all sense when in a bind.Previouslies – Nucky talking about Jimmy ditching Princeton for the Army; Van Alden drowning the other agent during an aggressive baptism (season 1); the heroin; Rose's divorce petition; Emily's polio; Margaret's donation to the church; Angela asking why Jimmy married her; Esther asking Van Alden about Mr. Schroeder and then visiting Eli in jail; the proposal by Jimmy's "associates" to sell the alcohol in other towns; and then Louise and Angela's murders.
We open to the sound of Angela whispering "Jimmy. Jimmy, I have to leave. I'm sorry." The lights comes up and Jimmy's in bed and there's Angela leaning over him with long hair again. Dream/delusion or simply flashback, we're not sure yet. They're in Princeton. Angela turns on the light and hands Jimmy a sketch she drew of him. There are other sounds in the background. A Mrs. Krakauer (the dorm mother). Jimmy says his mother's coming to town and wants to meet her. Jimmy's roommate comes in lets them know that Mrs. Krakauer heard something but he covered for them. "Next time we go back to using your car," Angela says and Jimmy says it wasn't his car. The roommate then sneaks her out the back.
In Nucky's office, his new lawyer Fallon is there. He says Esther's gunning hard for Nucky on a capital offense – the murder of Hans Schroeder. They're going to say Nucky gave the order and let Halloran walk in exchange for his testimony. Fallon also says that if he pushes any harder with bribes they'll both need a new lawyer. Apparently Esther is not buyable. (Yet. If this show has proven one thing, it's that everybody has their price. And she's sleeping with a subordinate, so…) Fallon says Eli's not talking to them and Nucky once again insists he's innocent. I'm starting to think he actually believes himself.
Fallon goes on to say that Van Alden will be testifying and Nucky argues that he's "a bigamist" (Fallon points out that he's only an adulterer). Throughout all of this, there's a black man (Harlan) dusting in the background and finally Nucky calls him on still being there.
"How bad is this?" Nucky finally asks and Fallon tells him to get his finances in order. Harlan still hasn't left the room and finally Nucky stops "hinting" and straight asks him what he's waiting for. He comments that Nucky kept him working the last few weeks during the strike. Nucky says, "You don't need to thank me," but Harlan disagrees. He says that he belongs to the Shiloh Baptist Church and Nucky tries to dismiss him, clearly missing the old man's got something to say. Fallon, however, is catching on and wants to know what Harlan has to say. He tells that he was at a baptism in the river last year when Van Alden showed up with "the other lawman and he drowned that fella, in front of us all." Fallon is clearly pleased he let Harlan speak.
At Van Alden's place, Sigrid (the nanny – I misheard her name before as Ingrid) is making breakfast while Abigail sleeps. Ingrid speaks to Van Alden in Dutch, asking how he is. He doesn't understand her and she's surprised. She asks after his parents and he says he's not in contact with them. They don't care for him. She's flabbergasted, wondering how that could possibly be. And then we find out his past. His parents were followers of Reverend Edgerton Sterry who prophesied a second coming in 1892 and that his father gave away their farm in preparation (this prophet seems to be fictional – I can't find mention of him anywhere). The elder Van Alden couldn't get over what happened and his son's continued existence made it worse. Our Van Alden seems just as religious as his parents, which I find interesting since he speaks of their devotion as though there was something wrong with (aside from the obvious financial issues). Sigrid tells him he's a good man. He smiles at her and I wonder when he's going to get her knocked up.
At the hospital, they've put Emily in leg braces. She says she feels rubbery, which I think is a delightful description. They get her standing then she tries to make one step and falls over. Father Brennan's there for moral support. The doctor and Margaret step aside and he tells her that Emily will need to develop the muscles in her arms and upper torso for balance and support, that they cannot let her revert to crawling.
Father then comes over and tells Margaret a story about a man invited to visit both Heaven and Hell and talks about the souls in both places sitting around a table laden with food. In Hell everyone was starving, their torment was being unable to feed themselves because the spoons are too long to be able to hold for themselves (which makes no sense, just hold it farther up the handle, right?). In Heaven they were all well fed because they used the long spoons to feed each other. (My eyes just rolled so hard the left one fell out.) Father then tells her that her donation has been put toward the construction of the new parish hall. They've got the foundation and walls, now they're praying for a roof. Margaret says she can do something more and Father says that's not what he was asking for. Margaret seems uncertain about the point of his words and I can't figure out if she honestly thinks that giving money to the church will get her prayers answered and her sins forgiven. It seems incredibly naïve for the Margaret we've come to know. I'm having a real hard time with the way she's been written in recent weeks.
At the beach house a sheet-covered body is being loaded into an ambulance. Gillian's watching from the window. The camera cuts to the interior of the house and a deputy asks where Jimmy was the night before. Instead of answering, Gillian asks why he's here. He's says it's a double homicide, duh. She clarifies that she means why him and not Eli. He'll need to talk to Eli; she's not saying shit to this kid. The deputy says the sheriff is unavailable, but she's not budging. Finally she says, "The facts are these. My son's wife was being intimate with another woman. I highly doubt if it was the first time. An intruder broke in… and killed them both." Then she walks to the next room. (It's sometimes hard to believe this is the same actress from <I>Music From Another Room.</I>)
The deputy continues, following her and asking Richard if he's an associate of Jimmy and does he know where Jimmy is. Richard hesitates – clearly grief stricken — and Gillian takes the opportunity to tell the deputy Richard's a simpleton her son is charitable to. (My jaw dropped at that.) Richard plays along (in that he's still speechless and she uses it), and the deputy takes his hesitation to speak as an inability to answer. I'm astounded by it as the deputy shows himself out.
With the deputy gone, Gillian asks Richard if he was able to reach Jimmy and he replies that Jimmy wouldn't answer the phone (which I guess means he knows where he is at least). She says Jimmy needs to come home or people will get the wrong idea. Richard excuses himself and moves down the hall. He looks heartbroken. Oh Richard. He enters the bedroom and looks at the bloodstain on the floor then kneels down and touches it. It's still wet.
Jimmy's voice over… He's reading a Daniel Webster passage in a small seminar group. As he reads and the other boys giggle at the words, it seems like Jimmy might not really understand what he's reading. Perhaps Nucky was right about why Jimmy left for the army? Then the instructor asks what Webster was writing about and goes through a couple students, getting half-ass answers about corruption. Then Jimmy speaks up in more plain language that is dead on saying the characters "mother taught him things that aren't of any use" and that the man is aware of all the men around him having money and he wants it, "he's hungry, like he can taste it." He gets it in a way his classmates don't and he wasn't laughing with them because maybe it hit too close to home. His instructor seems impressed and there's a glint in his eye. You see that he sees something in Jimmy.
As class ends, a guy who is ROTC or already military (it's not clear and I'm too lazy to find out how long ROTC's been around) in the class and he says he won't be there next week because they've got maneuvers. There's some mocking on Jimmy's part about him taking things too seriously that devolves into some strain. ROTC boy clearly thinks Jimmy is NOT a patriot. Another boy says his brother died on the Lusitania and Jimmy apologizes for any offense.
As the boys leave, Mr. Pearson (the instructor) holds Jimmy back. He tells Jimmy he won't win that way with the other boys, but Jimmy says where he comes from people come out swinging. Mr. Pearson asks if he's going back to AC after graduation and he says that's what he's supposed to do. That's what his guardian — Mr. Thompson — and his mother expect of him. Pearson asks if Nucky's a Princeton man, if he's footing the bill. Jimmy says Nucky knows people and he's paying as long as Jimmy doesn't screw up. Pearson tells Jimmy that his father was a train conductor and guys like them have to be clever. There's potential here for a good mentor relationship and I can already guess that it's going to turn sour quickly.
In the liquor warehouse, Doyle, Capone, Meyer, and Lucky are talking about Jimmy being gone. They're preparing to split up Jimmy's share because they don't think he's coming back. Then Doyle steps in to say Jimmy "didn't ice her" that Manny did. Everyone stops and turns to him. Lucky says then it's still Jimmy's problem. So the other guys figure they'll still take Jimmy's share and when Jimmy shows up he can take his share out of Doyle's. Capone's an asshole (Lucky and Meyer aren't much better) and Doyle's left standing there with a look in his eye far different from his usual buffoonishness. He looks like he's already plotting.
Margaret is telling Nucky the story about the people in Hell unable to feed themselves. "The spoons are too long," she says and Nucky's response is the same as mine: "Why couldn't they just hold them up higher on the handle?" I crack up as Margaret comes out of the bathroom all upset and saying he's missing the point (which I didn't think she got either). Nucky says these parables make no sense. Margaret asks if he doesn't believe in any higher power and he mentions the federal government. Ha! He says he knows what he doesn't believe in — divine intervention. Emily calls from the other room that she needs to go potty and Margaret stomps off to take care of her, glaring at Nucky on her way.
At the jail, Eli gets a visitor. It's his attorney who has Halloran's deposition. Eli says he doesn't need to read it, that Halloran is fingering him for a murder he didn't commit; he was home recovering from a bullet wound. The attorney says he's there to help and Eli says get him bail. His attorney says he's a flight risk and Eli wonders where he's supposed to run to. He's encouraged to testify that he committed the murder at Nucky's behest so Randolph will spare his life. Eli asks, "My life?" and his attorney explains that means Randolph won't argue for the electric chair. Eli's expression is grim, like he's finally starting to get it.
Back at campus, Gillian's visiting Jimmy and says Mrs. Krakauer told her he's been up to all kinds of things: phone calls from women in the middle of the night (Gillian) and kissing "underfed waitresses" (Angela). Jimmy asks how her latest man is as he unpacks her suitcase for her. Apparently her latest is married and mortgaged and it's over now. Jimmy pours her a drink and she says he can have one too, but he says he's supposed to write an essay. He pours himself a bit anyway and sits next to her on the bed. I'm smiling as that old incest vibe is back.
At the post office, Van Alden looks on as Esther and her assistants talk about Mrs. Schroeder. They ask Van Alden about his impression and he says she left no impression on him. Then he signs Rose's petition for divorce.
At Princeton, there's a mixer in a big hall and Angela comes through the front door. Jimmy has a corsage for her. Angela asks if his mother left yet and there Gillian is… she greets Angela with a kiss and it's awkward and she clearly doesn't approve. "Simple, restrained, I like it," she says about Angela's frumpy dress (even Jimmy said she looked like she was "from Vermont" which is not a compliment). Gillian's dress is a shiny, blue shift that fits perfectly. Upstairs in the dining room, Jimmy's friend comes over and says he's sticking to them because he's anxious and socially inept. He's kind of adorable in his admission. Angela says to stick with her and then they'll both have someone to talk to. She's such a sweetheart.
Across the room, Gillian is surrounded by college boys. Dear god, help them. She's flirting shamelessly with Pearson and Jimmy's caught up staring at them. Angela pulls his attention away to tell him that she's pregnant. Well… She says she's sorry but he says, "No. We'll get a place." He says they'll be together and she asks if that's a marriage proposal and he says it will make getting a lease easier. I guess romance was already dead in the 1920s. She says he barely knows her, but he replies that he knows she's a good person. (Because that's all a marriage needs, right?)
Nucky's at his desk at home. Margaret comes in and she seems upset. They move to sit before the fire when she reminds him that he'd wanted to talk. Nucky says he spoke to Fallon who said Eli will testify against him to save himself. Margaret asks what he'll say and Nucky says enough to put him in jail, possibly enough to get him the chair. He then says before they seize his money, he can hide it so he can help her. She asks why that matters to him and he counters that Father Brennan's putting nonsense in her head (hear hear!!) She insists the thoughts are her own. He says he's got 60,000 acres of land in a company name and that he holds all the stock. He's transferring it to her name so she'll be taken care of. She stops listening as the scene fades out back to Princetown (and I want to smack her upside the head).
Jimmy's outside getting some air and then Gillian comes around a corner, straightening her dress and looking upset. "I thought we were just flirting." At the sound of footsteps, he looks down the hallway to see Pearson. He heads down there and confronts him. "What'd you do to my mother?" Pearson seems confused and Jimmy repeats himself. "That was your mother?" Pearson asks. He says Jimmy's life is pretty Jacobean (recalling the Webster reading from earlier). Jimmy slugs him as Pearson offers to apologize; Pearson tells him to walk away and he'll pretend it didn't happen. Jimmy says, "It is happening" and proceeds to beat the crap out of him. I'm conflicted about his defense of his mother against a possible sexual assault attempt and the fact that Gillian hasn't really needed protecting in a long damn time.
Van Alden has come to visit Doyle who says he's put an entire situation together and now he's getting a "poke up the ass." Van Alden asks what he's got and he proceeds to talk about the deal with Capone, Lucky, and Meyer. He says Jimmy's gone for now. "There's gonna be a lot of green on the table" and that federal agents should intervene. $300,000. He wants half, the other $150k would go in Van Alden's pocket. "So?" he asks, with his hand out. "I'd prefer not to," Van Alden replies. He repeats himself and gets up, telling Doyle not to contact him again. Doyle's not okay with this.
Gillian and Jimmy get back to his room. It looks at first like she's helping him after the fight, but he's also holding her up because she's drunk. "You've got blood on your shirt," she says as she helps him unbutton it. He says he beat Pearson enough to get expelled and she says Nucky will fix it. She then says she's "the loneliest person on earth" when he asks why she came to visit. Then she asks if he loves "that skinny girl" and he says no and then he doesn't know and she tells him not to do anything stupid. (Too late for that, Jimmy.) He focuses on getting her shoes off and getting her into bed. She nearly falls off the bed and he catches her. He gets her standing and helps her out of her dress (and remember, he's still shirtless). There's fumbling around and she says she hates for him to see her like this; they fall back on the bed and he's hovering above her and it's all very intimate.
She says he knows how to take care of her and he's says he's "been doing it long enough." She talks about when he was little, curling up with him in bed. She reaches her hand up to caress his jawline and I'm just waiting for things to get even more inappropriate than they already are. "There's no one else in all the world," is what she thought on those nights.
Jimmy says goodnight and moves to kiss her forehead and she tips her head back and pulls his face to kiss him on the mouth as a train goes by outside. He pulls back some and she says "there's nothing wrong with any of it" and they kiss again and he seems to drop his body down to hers and it's frantic and my reaction is a mix of delight and freaked out (because I wanted to know, but I don't know if I wanted to see). They've hinted about this since our very first introduction to her, but we lacked any confirmation until now.
The train keeps rumbling and the night table is vibrating and the camera moves away to focus on that. Next thing it's morning and he's alone in bed in nothing but his boxer shorts and her stuff is gone from the closet. Oh Jimmy. He sits on the side of the bed for a few minutes, then moves to the window looking out to see a group of ROTC guys marching across a field. And now we know what prompts him to enlist.
He's with an enlistment officer and when the man asks why he hasn't listed any next of kin he says "both my mother and father are gone." Well. He gives them Angela's name as a contact and refers to her as his fiancée. He's clearly off and the man asks why he's enlisting and he replies that he wants to stick "a bayonet in the Kaiser's guts." The officer asks why and he steals his classmate's story, that he lost a brother on the Lusitania.
Margaret's working on Emily's braces; there's a spot where they're chafing her skin and she can't feel it. Owen comes in and offers to help, taking the brace from her and seeing a rough grommet that he can smooth out for her. She accepts his help and he sits down and goes to work. It's quiet and she's clearly tense while he's smiling. "Do you think about me?" he finally asks. "Because I think about you." She tells him to stop, that she'll pray for him to do so. He says that would mean she's thinking about him. And then they see Katie in the shadows at the other end of the kitchen. She turns and hurries away. Oh no, here we go. As if Margaret hadn't already looked wrecked, her expression is even worse now.
Jimmy's in a room, trashed out of his mind, reaching for a bottle. He drains it and the scene goes dark then light again. We hear Gillian saying "James? James." Then she's reminding him he's got a son and a business waiting for him. Finally, we're in the present and I guess he was dreaming everything during his drunken stupor. He finally says he understands. She says it's been days and he "needs to come home and show the world he has nothing to hide." He's then on his knees on the floor snorting Lucky's heroin. Oh Jimmy. Booze and H? My poor boy.
At the post office, Van Alden enters the office to find Randolph with Nucky's attorney Mr. Fallon and Deacon Cuffey from Shiloh Baptist. Mr. Fallon asks Van Alden how he's doing as Lathrope steps in behind him. "Couple of things to show you," Fallon says as he presents shoes and a gun from his former partner. Lathrope tells him to put his hands in front of him and reaches for Van Alden's gun, but Van Alden is faster. They tussle and he shoots Lathrop in the foot and scrambles out the door.
Margaret's having a drink in the parlor when Nucky comes in and comments about her drinking alone. She's been subpoenaed. He tells her Fallon will take care of it and she mentions that the day before he was worried. He says now he's not, that it turns out Van Alden isn't a credible witness. "And your brother?" she asks to which he responds that "blood is thicker than water." She brings up that they began in sin. Nucky's practical and she's … not. She's freaked out but says she's never been so sure of anything in her life. She's caught up in the notion that Emily's sick because of their sin and Nucky calmly says, "Emily was stricken with a disease." Margaret insists that she's culpable — she stole and cheated and deceived and she's being punished. He asks who she stole from and she says her family, her employer, and him. He asks who she deceived and she says "anyone who thinks I'm good." Finally he asks who she's cheated on and he moves toward her, "Well? Say it." He's prepared for her to confess to something and yet I'm not sure he'd care because he loves her so much. She hesitates and finally says she's living with the man who had her husband murdered. "Really? When did I do that?" he asks (and again I think he believes his own lies).
They argue over each other and finally she says she can't pretend she's not been called to account as she holds up the subpoena. He realizes she's thinking about testifying and asks if she's lost her mind. He tells her he won't "permit" her to sacrifice him even if she thinks she's being punished. "Will you strike me now?" she says to his face and he raises his hand … and takes the subpoena from her. "I have given you everything," he says before leaving the room. I don't know that I've ever loved him more than in this moment.
Gillian's doing needlepoint and saying they'll have to have a funeral, but there aren't many people to invite because Angela didn't have "a wide circle." Jimmy's sitting in a chair looking disconsolate. It looks like their in the Commodore's house. Gillian just keeps talking despite Jimmy's absence from everything. She says the other girl (Louise) wasn't local, that they'll have to consider Tommy, that she told him Mommy went away to paint. Gillian says they should tell him that "she went to live with her friends in Paris." Jesus. Jimmy's still quiet and glassy-eyed, staring at her. You start to wonder if he's even hearing her. "A month from now, and I don't mean to sound cold, but he won't even remem–" and then Jimmy flies from his chair and attacks her repeating "I'll remember" over and over again as he chokes her.
The Commodore comes up behind him with a big spear and stabs at Jimmy's shoulder, knocking him off of her. The two of them struggle as Gillian watches and screams "No." They end up with Jimmy pinned to the wall and Jimmy pulls a knife and stabs the Commodore in the gut. He pulls it out and Gillian says, "Then finish it, goddamn you. Finish it." And he does. Fade to black.
There's music box tinkling and a blurry screen and we see Jimmy with his shoulder bandaged, slumped in a chair and totally out of it. Richard's in the other room over the Commodore's body cleaning the knife. He comes over and closes the curtains so Jimmy can't see.
"Jimmy?" We hear Angela's voice again. "Jimmy I have to leave." When next he looks over the curtains are open again and the body is gone. He's still bandaged from the fight but there's no other sign that anything happened. Gillian comes in with Tommy who says he had a bad dream. "Me too," Jimmy replies. "But everything's going to be fine." Tommy asks where his mama is and Gillian says she's there, that he doesn't have to worry.
"What you did…" Gillian says, "You didn't mean it." She says it'll all be better now. God she lives in a totally different world. She picks up Tommy and takes him upstairs, pausing to tell Jimmy that one day Tommy won't be a little boy anymore. Then she says she'll put him to bed and she'll be upstairs. It almost sounds like an invitation.
Next week: Season finale. And the previews are awesome. "Know. Who's. Behind You." gets flashed between quickly changing images. Richard and Jimmy striding down a hallway. Margaret in a chair (testifying?); Chalky's men; cars, cars, cars; Eli; and finally a gunshot followed by Jimmy saying, "Let me make things right" to an unseen person. I can't wait!

Russia Versus Australia in Political Twitter Battle Over Borders and Genders
SYDNEY — Russian and Australian officials had a Twitter battle over genders and borders on Tuesday.
The social media prodding began after Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop made it clear that she would push ahead with a plan to exclude Russian President Vladimir Putin from the G20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia in November, according to The Australian.
The official Twitter account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation first took a dig at Bishop, referring to her as "he."
#Lavrov: The Australian FM's idea not to invite Russia to the G20 summit is not surprising but he should not lose sight of its principles
— MFA Russia (@mfa_russia) September 2, 2014
Carl Bildt, Sweden's foreign minister, stood up for Bishop, and scolded the ministry. Bildt tweeted that knowing Bishop's gender was not a difficult task.
@mfa_russia You should know that Australia FM @JulieBishopMP is not a "he". Fairly basic.
— Carl Bildt (@carlbildt) September 2, 2014
Australia's Ambassador to Russia Paul Myler then chimed in, thanking Bildt for his support, but joked that borders and genders are very confusing issues.
@carlbildt @mfa_russia @JulieBishopMP Thanks Carl! Borders, genders - all a bit confusing right now!
— Paul Myler (@PosolAustralia) September 2, 2014
Myler's cheeky comment referred to an earlier tweet by the Canadian Joint Delegation to NATO, whose pictorial potshot followed reports that Russian troops keep "accidentally" finding themselves in Ukraine, The Telegraph reported.
Geography can be tough. Here's a guide for Russian soldiers who keep getting lost & 'accidentally' entering #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/RF3H4IXGSp

Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control
(Div. of ABC or ABC) is the unit of
State Government that is charged with
regulating the commerce of alcoholic
beverages within the State of New
Jersey. The 21st amendment to the
United States Constitution gave each
state the right to determine whether
to allow alcoholic beverages, and,
if so, how to regulate them. As soon
as the amendment was adopted in 1933,
New Jersey enacted its Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law, which is commonly known
as Title 33 (since the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law is contained in the Revised
Statutes as the 33rd title listed
alphabetically by major subject matter,
and under the title of Intoxicating
Liquors). In that law, a Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control was
established under a Commissioner.
In the late 1940s, after New
Jerseys 1947 Constitution was
adopted, some departments were consolidated
and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control was absorbed into and became
a division of the Department of Law
and Public Safety under the New Jersey
Attorney General.
Division of ABC is headed by a Director,
who is appointed by the Governor with
the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Director is required to supervise
the manufacture, distribution and
sale of alcoholic beverages in such
a manner as to fulfill the public
policy and legislative purpose of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control law.
Investigations of violations of the
ABC law are conducted by the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Investigations Bureau).

The alcoholic content of wine is indicated
in percentage by volume. This gives
the actual percentage of the beverage
that is alcohol. For beer and other
malt alcoholic beverages, although
the percentage of alcohol is not shown
on the label, the alcohol content
is usually given in percentage of
alcohol by weight. This percentage

It is the policy of the State to encourage
moderation in the consumption of alcoholic
beverages. To permit a diner to take
home an unfinished portion of the
bottle of wine, rather than consume
it all to prevent waste
of his purchase, furthers that policy.
Thus all unfinished bottles of wine
may be re-corked and the patron can
take them with him/her.
of other open containers of alcoholic

such as a glass of wine, a mixed drink,
an opened bottle or can of beer, is
still prohibited. Licensees should
caution patrons using wine doggy
bags that the wine should be
placed in the trunk of the patrons

Vehicle Law prohibits the consumption
of alcoholic beverage in a car and
the presence of a container with its
original seal broken in a motor vehicle
(buses, taxi cabs and limousines are
excluded) can give rise to a presumption

A permit is required

public policy reasons the Division
of ABC prohibits the sale of alcohol
from drive up windows. The relationship
between alcoholic beverages and the
operation of a motor vehicle is such
that the Division of ABC has determined
that this type of service could result
in the irresponsible consumption of
alcohol. In addition, it does not
provide the licensee with the best
opportunity to visually observe the
patron to ascertain whether that patron
is of legal age or is impaired or
Jersey law prohibits any person from
having an open container of alcohol
in a motor vehicle, even if the driver
or other passenger is not intoxicated.
The policy of the State of New Jersey
is that alcohol and motor vehicles,
when combined, create a dangerous
situation and therefore, the consumption
of any alcohol by any person in a
motor vehicle is prohibited. The penalties
for such a violation range from a
minimum fine of $200 up to 10 days
of community service.
a general rule, neither gambling nor
gambling paraphernalia is permitted
on a licensed premises. Those games
or activities, however, which are
licensed under the New Jersey law
dealing with bingo, raffles or lotteries
may be conducted on a licensed premises.
other unlicensed game or activity,
where chance and not skill is the
primary element and a person pays
money or anything else of value in
the hope or expectation of winning
money, a prize or some other valuable
thing, is prohibited. This prohibition
does not apply to the holding of a
tournament, such as darts or bowling,
where skill, and not chance, is the
determining factor.
Division has found that football
pools, sport pools
and "super bowl pools constitute
gambling and are, therefore, prohibited
on the licensed premises.
number of licenses to sell alcohol for
consumption on a licensed premises (restaurants
and bars) and to sell alcohol for off
premise consumption (packaged goods)
within a municipality is determined
based upon the population. A municipality
may issue one consumption license for
every 3,000 of its population. As to
distribution licenses, which allow the
sale of alcohol for off premise consumption,
a municipality may issue one license
for every 7,500 of its population. A
municipality is allowed to ban all sales
of alcohol within its borders if it
so desires.
a municipality, by ordinance, establishes
the lawful hour during which alcoholic
beverages may be sold. In some municipalities,
referenda have been held to establish
or limit the hours or days of sale.
ABC regulation, no retail licensee may
sell distilled spirits in original containers
(packaged goods) before 9:00 am and
after 10:00 pm on any day of the week.
Municipalities can further limit these
hours by ordinance or referendum, and
frequently do so with respect to Sunday
mornings. However, by State statute
retail licensees can sell wine and beer
in original containers (package goods)
at any time the municipality has permitted
the sale of alcoholic beverages by the
drink for consumption. In cities of
the first class (Jersey City, Newark),
however, the hours of sale are regulated
by municipal ordinance and State limitations
are not applicable. To be certain as
to restrictions on hours of sale, check
with that particular municipality.

Soyuz carrying Russian-US crew from ISS lands in Kazakhstan (PHOTOS)
The crew landed shortly after 05:00 Moscow time (02:00 GMT). The spacecraft "landed in the planned area, about 146 kilometers southeast of the city of Zhezkazgan," the Mission Control Center said, adding that "the crew is feeling good."

There was some excitement during the unloading of the crew from the capsule, which took about 20 minutes, but the astronauts emerged in good health – including the smiling and waving Serova, who was brought out last.
Samokutyaev told journalists immediately after landing that the trip was fine, and that he believes he had a rougher Soyuz landing previously. "Everything is fine. I am drinking real tea with lemon," he said, smiling.

"Everything is great, thank you. The guys are great and worked very well," Serova said as one of the doctors was checking her pulse and blood pressure.
Wilmore spoke in Russian after landing, saying: "I am glad to be here."
The three crew members have worked on the ISS for around 170 days.
Another three members of the crew remained aboard the station, which is located 260 miles (418 km) above Earth. Mission commander Terry Virts (NASA) along with Anton Shkaplerov (Roscosmos) and Samatha Cristoforetti (ESA) are due to return in mid-May, while astronaut Mark Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko are due to launch on March 27 and spend a full year aboard the ISS.

Programming language
A programming language is an artificial language used mainly for giving instructions to computers; a secondary use is for the precise specification of algorithms. A group of instructions for a particular purpose is known as a computer program.
When compared with human languages (e.g. English, French, Spanish, etc.), programming languages are very much smaller, much simpler, and are also more precise. Most programming languages consist of a mixture of English words and mathematical notation; very few programming languages have a base vocabulary exceeding 60 words, although they may also have utility libraries with hundreds of entries which provide optional extra functionality.
Many thousands of different programming languages have been defined, though only a few dozen are in widespread use. The first publicly available programming language was A-0, developed in 1951 by Grace Hopper. In 1948 Zuse published a paper (in "Archiv der Mathematik") about an early programming language Plankalkül, though this was not actually implemented until 1998.
Describing a programming language
While human languages such as English may have rules of grammar, there are almost always exceptions to these rules. To reduce ambiguity, most programming languages have their grammar or syntax rigidly defined by a relatively small number of rules, with no exceptions. In many cases some variation of a context-free grammar is used, often Backus-Naur Form, or some extension thereof. Note that context-free grammars are not powerful enough to describe human languages such as English.
The meaning or semantics of any particular construct in a programming language is most commonly described in fairly precise English. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to find a formal way of describing the semantics.
The more important programming languages have an internationally-agreed official standard (ISO is the international standards organisation, ANSI is the standards body in the United States). In theory, programs which conform to the relevant standard should be usable on most types of computer; this works in practice most of the time, provided that the programmers have been careful to avoid machine-dependencies. Such agreed standards are usually revised every 5 to 15 years, often with new features being added, and sometimes with old features being either removed or marked as obsolete.
Very few programmers learn a programming language directly from the formal definition, which exists primarily as a reference which can be consulted in cases of doubt. There are usually plenty of books and training courses for the more common programming languages.
The art of programming
The act of writing a computer program using a programming language is called programming. While there are many guidelines, there are no rules which are guaranteed to produce a correct and usable program, so programming is very much an art or skill rather than a science. Furthermore, a programmer must pay meticulous attention to detail: a moderately large program of say 150,000 instructions must be completely free of punctuation errors, grammatical errors, and spelling mistakes, and must also be largely free of logical errors (as a size comparison, a 400-page paperback book contains about 16,000 lines - 1/10th the size).
Various studies have found that programmers with a comparable amount of experience may differ in skill levels by a factor of 10 or more.
Classifying programming languages
The initial distinction is between low-level languages and high-level languages.
Low-level languages are generally referred to as assembly languages. Most instructions in such languages equate directly to a single machine instruction. Each machine architecture has its own assembly language, so programs written in such languages are generally very machine-specific and are not portable. The instructions in such languages are usually fairly cryptic, often using abbreviations such as ADD, JNE, LR, LI, etc. In the early days of computing (up to about 1ate 1950's) most programming was done in assembly language, partly due to the limited power and memory capacity of early computers.
High-level languages generally use a mixture of English words and simple mathematical notation, and are often available with little or no change on many different types of computers. These are often referred to as 3rd-generation languages (the 1st generation was raw binary machine code, the 2nd was assembly language). A single high-level statement may be equivalent to using 3 to 10 assembly language statements, so programming in a high-level language can be much more productive. Example statements include:
X = 5 + Y*3 if result < 3 then stop print "Hello world"
The two main types of high-level languages are imperative and declarative, with the first type being far more common.
Declarative languages define relationships and facts, ask a question, and leave it to the underlying program implementation and its theorem prover to work out how to derive an answer. An example of such a language is Prolog (Programming in Logic). These languages can be effective in areas such as database analysis, symbolic mathematics, and language parsing.
When using an imperative language, the programmer is responsible for giving precise instructions as to exactly what has to be done and in what order. Note that some programs may have a random element included so that the results of a program are not necessarily predictable. One of the key reasons for the success of high-level languages is that they provide a level of abstraction (sometimes several such levels). which means that a programmer can concentrate more on the problem to be solved and less on the detail of how to solve it.
Early high-level programming languages were often intended for use in a particular problem domain (e.g. COBOL for business purposes, Fortran and Algol 60 for scientific calculations). Other programming languages were originally intended for teaching purposes (e.g. BASIC and Pascal). The language C was originally intended for systems programming (writing operating systems and compilers).
Successful programming languages evolve over time to become more general-purpose, or form the basis for other languages (e.g. C -> C++). The evolution often involves incorporating good features from other languages. The general trend is for languages to become more general-purpose and provide more levels of abstraction. The concepts of structured programming were put on a sound theoretical basis in the early 1970's and these have also influenced the evolution of some programming languages (e.g. Fortran 66 -> Fortran 77). The idea of objects (combining data with the applicable operations) was available in Simula in the mid 1960's, but did not become popular until the advent of C++ in the early 1980's and Java in the mid 1990's; confusingly, Java and C++ have a lot of syntax in common, but the meaning (semantics) may differ drastically for what looks the same when written down.
Implementation of programming lLanguages
A set of instructions written in a programming language is called source code, or simply code. In order for a computer to execute a program, another program must be used to prepare the source for execution. Interpreters translate the source code into machine code as the program executes. Compilers and Assemblers convert the source code into machine code once, and the computer can run the machine code any number of times. This makes compiled code run faster than interpreted code, usually by a factor of about 10.
Language List
Most of the program code in use today is written in C, C++, COBOL, and Java. Other popular general-purpose languages include BASIC, Pascal, and C#. There are literally thousands of programming languages, although many of them are simply variants of others. Variants are called dialects. Thus, Visual BASIC is a dialect of BASIC.
The following is a sample list of programming languages.
