[Excerpt] The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program to provide information on large-scale layoff events and the characteristics of the dislocated workers. This report summarizes data on extended mass layoffs for 2012. The MLS program defines an extended mass layoff event as the filing of 50 or more initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits against an employer during a 5-week period, with at least 50 workers separated for more than 30 days. Since 2004, the scope of the layoff data series was redefined to include only the private nonfarm economy. (See the technical notes section for additional information on the concepts and definitions used in this report.)

It has been a while since I put pen to paper (keyboard to blog) but after too long a hiatus, here we go.
I have long been a big fan of "Connections" both the book by James Burke as well as the PBS series. His underlying premise "however carefully you plan for the future, someone else's actions will inevitably modify the way your plans turn out."or the way I like to think about it "sometimes things come together in unanticipated ways" is used to understand the forces behind major technological, scientific and cultural shifts.
So a few months ago, my son of the band Superhumanoids started using this amazing new portable synthesizer, which is made by the Swedish firm Teenage Engineering. This thing really is a technological marvel in a very small package.
About a year or so ago, I wrote about the real 3D revolution and how additive manufacturing was going to change manufacturing as we know it. So imagine, my surprise when I read on the Wired blog that Teenage Engineering, were no longer going to sell spare parts (knobs etc.) but going to allow their customers or third parties to make their own by providing the software code to drive a 3D printer. It was just too expensive to ship single items from Sweden to musicians around the world. As the Wired post concludes:
Teenage Engineering's intriguing move points to a near future where you can jam on your synth, fire up your 3-D printer, build an accessory, and snap it onto the device within hours. If the pattern continues, other electronics manufacturers — and all companies in general — will soon follow suit.
Isn't interesting how sometimes the ducks do line up.

The man, thought to be aged between 50 and 60, was found wrapped in blankets beneath the colonnade opposite the southern Italian city's famed San Carlo opera house in central Naples on the morning of January 22 under the indifferent gaze of passers-by and habitues of a nearby cafe'.

"Citizens want to change the image of indifference associated with Naples that has been caused by the incident," Naples city councilor Vittorio Vasquez said. A collection was organized by area residents who knew the man, Vasquez said.

Why Karnataka makes Manmohan 'unhappy'
Taking on the Bharatiya Janata Party government in Karnataka, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday charged that "bad governance" and "corruption" had slackened state's progress and a sense of insecurity was prevalent among the minorities.
Hitting the campaign trail in Hubli for the May 5 assembly polls, Dr Singh said BJP had changed three chief ministers in the last five years and a probe had been ordered against several of its politicians on charge of corruption.
"...bad governance, carelessness in development works and above all corruption has led to the slackening of progress in Karnataka", the Prime Minister said in this northern part of the state, where the ruling BJP draws much of its strength.

Why Karnataka makes Manmohan 'unhappy'
Singh said attention was neither being paid to agriculture nor employment. A number of irrigation works are incomplete and even the works taken up under accelerated irrigation development programme were unsatisfactory.
Also, no attention has been paid to infrastructure, resulting in a number of industries going to Hyderabad and Pune.
"... I am particularly unhappy about the lack of development, especially in minority pockets like Raichur, Bellary, Gulbarga and Bidar... Lack of communal harmony and sense of insecurity among the minorities is prevalent," Dr Singh said.

Why Karnataka makes Manmohan 'unhappy'
Accusing the ruling BJP of not utilising the funds sanctioned under many of the central schemes, Singh said the state had not met its targets in several programmes including Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and mid-day meals or rural road development.
"...If the Congress comes to power in Karnataka, the state will be able to utilise the funds sanctioned under central schemes to the maximum..", he said, assuring the people that his party would make Karnataka "a forerunner in development by providing a corruption-free government."
Only Congress can work speedily for the development and prosperity of the state, which in many ways had a "unique place" compared to others, he said.
Dr Singh said across the world when people talk about Information Technology, people talk of Bangalore. In the past two decades, Karnataka has made a place for itself in the international arena mainly because of the contribution made by its scientists and engineers.

Why Karnataka makes Manmohan 'unhappy'
The UPA government had initiated economic reforms and Karnataka was able to take advantage of them to the maximum which in turn helped its development, specially in IT.
Talking about UPA government, he said its focus has been on inclusive growth. "...we have taken all sections of people together."
The government had paid particular attention to backward classes, minorities and women in its policies.
He said when different party governments, other than Congress', had been formed in Karnataka, development had slackened.

Diversity of the Seven Different Recitations of the Qur'an does not change the meanings
Taken from: alifta
|(Part No. 5; Page No. 397)
Q: It is said that the diversity of Qira'at (recitation styles) of the Qur'an results in difference in the Qur'an, as it may imply a second meaning, such as Ayah (13) in Surah Al-Isra', saying: وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنْشُورًا [(meanings of which are translated as:) And on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open]. Please clarify with providing an analysis of the phrase: "يلقاه منشورا".
A: It is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that the Qur'an was divinely revealed in seven acceptable styles of recitations, i.e. seven Arab accents and dialects out of mercy and facilitating recitation. The recitations of the Qur'an have been transmitted by Tawatur (a significant number of reliable narrators whose agreement upon a lie is impossible). The consistency of the Qur'an confirms this. All the Qira'at of the Qur'an are based on revelation from Allah, the All-Wise, the Praiseworthy.
Therefore, the diversity of Qira'at does not mean perversion, alteration, or ambiguity in the meanings of the Qur'an. Likewise, it does not imply contradiction or disorder in the objectives intended. In fact, each part of the Qur'an confirms and explains the other. Certain meanings according to some Qira'at may differ, yet this difference aims at achieving a goal in the Shari'ah (Islamic law) or providing a benefit for people, while remaining consistent in meaning, agreeing in objectives, forming a part of one complete, perfectly accurate legislation body, without the slightest blemish of conflict or contradiction among them.
For example, according to the reported Qira'at of the Ayah cited by the questioner, which is the Saying of Allah (Exalted be He): وَكُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنْشُورًا If when reading the word (ونخرج) ["Wa nukhriju"] the letter "ن" (Nun) is pronounced with Damm (vowel point that sounds like "u") and the letter "ر" (Ra') is pronounced with Kasr (vowel point that sounds like "i"); and when reading: (يلقاه) ["Yalqah"] the letter "ي" (Ya') is pronounced with Fat-h (vowel point that sounds like "a"), with the letter "ق" (Qaf) de-emphasized, the meaning will be: on the Day of Resurrection We shall bring out for every person a record i.e. the record of their good and bad deeds, which they will find spread open.
|(Part No. 5; Page No. 398)
The blessed people will take their records with their right hands while the wretched will take theirs with their left hands. Second: if when reading: " يلقاه منشورا " the letter "ي" (Ya') is pronounced with Damm (vowel point that sounds like "u") with the letter "ق" (Qaf) emphasized: "Yulaqqahu manshura" the meaning will be: on the Day of Resurrection We shall bring out for every person their record of deeds, which they will be given spread open. So, the two Qira'at convey the same meaning because in either case, received or been given, humans will take the records of their deeds.
Similarly, Allah (Exalted be He) says: فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ [(meanings of which are translated as:) In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies]. If when reading (يكذبون) ["Yakdhibun"] the letter "ي" (Ya') is pronounced with Fat-h ("a"), the letter "ك" (Kaf) has Sukun on it (vowel-less), and the letter "ذ" (Dhal) is pronounced with Kasr ("i"), the meaning will be: Tell lies about Allah and the believers. The word (يكذبون) may also be recited: "Yukadh-dhibun", where the letter "ي" (Ya') is pronounced with Damm ("u"), the letter "ك" (Kaf) with Fat-h ("a") and the letter "ذ" (Dhal) with Shaddah (double consonant), in that case the meaning will be: Belie the Messengers regarding their revealed messages. It is apparent that the meanings of the two Qira'at are congruous with each other; each of them shows a characteristic of the hypocrites. The first described them with telling lies about Allah (Exalted be He), His Messengers, and people; whereas the second described them with belying the Messengers as regards the Law and the truth revealed to them. So, both are true, for the hypocrites combine both telling lies about and belying Messengers.
Consequently, it becomes clear that the diversity of the Qira'at of the Qur'an is divinely meant for a Divine Wisdom. The diversity of Qira'at is not a production of human perversion or alterations and it does not result in error, contradiction, or disorder; rather, in all cases, their meanings and objectives are consistent and agreeing. May Allah grant us success.

Review: Sure, they fixed Sonic's teeth, but they didn't add any actual jokes
Sonic the Hedgehog will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first video game I ever owned. It supplied the early high of 16-bit super speed and the lifelong fear of drowning in the Labyrinth Zone. Hell, I loved the franchise so much as a kid that I even got into the Archie Comics series.
And yet, no level of fandom can overcome the mediocrity of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Video game adaptations have such a brutal track record it's kind of mind-blowing they continue to get made. Be it Street Fighter, Resident Evil, or the Tomb Raider outings, something about the medium just doesn't seem to translate. With that in mind, I actually have to give Sonic the Hedgehog some credit. While it's not a good movie, it's at least watchable—and compared to something like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, it may as well be Parasite.
The film opens on a faraway planet. A blue baby hedgehog zips through the vibrant flora and familiar loop-de-loops of the Green Hill Zone, as an older Sonic (Ben Schwartz) recalls his happy upbringing. The salad days are spoiled when a band of bad guys discover our hero's incredible power, and so lil bb Sonic must travel across the universe and hide out in small-town Montana.
It's a lonesome existence, but Sonic stays safe and hidden for years. Then one day he runs a bit too fast, causes an electrical surge, and blacks out the entire Pacific Northwest. In doing so, he draws the attention of the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey).
Thus, the groundwork is laid for a fairly uncomplicated kids' adventure. Sonic the Hedgehog does repeatedly touch on concepts of isolation, family, and finding your place in the world. However, its execution feels lacking compared to, say, a Pixar flick. I imagine even the youngins could sense the color-by-numbers foundation.
The focus here seems to be mostly on jokes, but Sonic doesn't offer much in the way of actual laughs. It's great having kids in these screenings, because they're finely tuned comedy barometers. And if I'm not laughing and they're not laughing, I know we got a problem.
Listen, I can't not love Ben Schwartz. The dude is a comedic genius and his casting feels right on the money. I just wish he'd gotten more to work with than attention-deficit gags. Same goes for Carrey, who's channeling some of his early-'90s mania but can only do so much with this script. Still, I can't imagine how lackluster Sonic would have been without Carrey and Schwartz.
Of course, you can't talk about this picture without bringing up the massive VFX overhaul We the People of the Internet pretty much forced to happen. Sonic's redesign is leagues better than the Cats-esque horror show we saw in the first trailer, and the fix probably did save this movie (to the degree it could be considered "saved"). Although one of the unintended side effects of the change is that I spent the entire runtime imagining what things would have looked like with the original toothy design.
Twitter is a cesspool, but it's nice to see that it can, in fact, affect positive change. It'd be great if that power was used to, I don't know, save the republic—but hey, a better-looking, run-of-the-mill Sonic the Hedgehog movie is pretty good, too.

Most cats have a dislike to water, and as a rule, and under ordinary
conditions, generally keep themselves clean, more especially the
short-haired breeds; but, as is well known, the Angora, Persian, and
Russian, if not taken care of, are sure to require washing, the more so
to prepare them for exhibition, as there is much gain in the condition
in which a cat comes before the judge.
There are many cases of cats taking to the water and swimming to certain
points to catch fish, or for other food, on record; yet it is seldom
that they take a pleasure in playing about in it. I therefore think it
well to mention that I had a half-bred black and white Russian, that
would frequently jump into the bath while it was being filled, and sit
there until the water rose too high for its safety. Thus cats may be
taught to like washing.
If a cat is to be washed, treat it as kindly and gently as is possible,
speaking in a soothing tone, and in no way be hasty or sudden in your
movements, so as to raise distrust or fear. Let the water be warm but
not hot, put the cat in slowly, and when its feet rest on the bottom of
the tub, you may commence the washing.
Mr. A. A. Clarke, the well-known cat fancier, says: "I seldom wash my
cats, I rather prefer giving them a good clean straw-bed, and attending
to their general health and condition, and they will then very seldom
require washing. I find that much washing makes the coat harsh and poor,
and I also know from experience that it is 'a work of art' to wash a
cat properly, and requires an artist in that way to do it. My plan is to
prepare some liquid soap, by cutting a piece into shreds, and putting it
into cold water, and then boiling it for an hour. I then have two clean
tubs got ready, one to wash, the other to rinse in. Have soft water
about blood heat, with a very small piece of soda in the washing-tub,
into which I place the cat, hind-quarters first, having some one that it
knows perfectly well, to hold and talk to the cat while the washing is
going on. I begin with the tail, and thoroughly rubbing in the soap with
my hands, and getting by degrees over the body and shoulders up to the
ears, leaving the head until the cat is rinsed in the other tub, which
ought to be half filled with warm soft water, into which I place the
cat, and thoroughly rinse out all the soap, when at the same time I wash
the head, and I then sit in front of the fire and dry with warm towels;
and if it is done well and thoroughly, it is a good three hours' hard
I would add to the foregoing that I should use Naldire's dog soap, which
I have found excellent in all ways, and it also destroys any insect life
that may be present.
Also in washing, be careful not to move the hands in circles, or the
hair will become entangled and knotty, and very difficult to untwist or
unravel. Take the hair in the hands, and press the softened soap through
and through the interstices, and when rinsing do the same with the
water, using a large sponge for the purpose. After drying I should put
the cat in a box lightly, full of oat straw, and place it in front of,
or near a fire, at such distance as not to become too warm, and only
near enough to prevent a chill before the cat is thoroughly dry.

In the first class format of its type in the 7th Judicial Circuit, Daytona State College's School of Emergency Services teamed up with the State Attorney for the 7th Judicial Circuit on Nov. 8 to teach area law enforcement officers and Law Enforcement Academy cadets the finer points of testifying in court.
More than 100 practicing law enforcement officers and cadets took part in "Your Day in Court," a full-day workshop presented by State Attorney R.J. Larizza's office conducted at Daytona State's Advanced Technology College (ATC). The officers and students spent the morning learning how to better document crime affidavits and prepare for testifying in court.
"This is the first time we've done a mock trial with a team of state attorney prosecutors participating," said Robin Davis, Daytona State's criminal justice training coordinator. "Our goal was to provide an opportunity for our law enforcement officers to gain first-hand knowledge in a realistic setting. Our students and the rookie patrol offers gained vital insight into how important testimony preparation is to successful case prosecution. Even for the veteran officers who attended, the day provided a great refresher."
The mock trial involved a fictitious domestic battery and false imprisonment case led by attorneys acting as prosecutors, defense counsel and judge. Selected officers from the class participated as witnesses and jurors.
At the close of the case, class participants, jurors and attorney's critiqued each witness and offered tips on how to improve their testimony.
"What I found most revealing was how important the police report is in prosecuting a case," said Jessica Fowler, who will graduate in February 2014 from Daytona State's Law Enforcement Academy. "When it's time to go to court, every detail counts."
Fellow cadet Carlos Marrero also learned that it's important for an officer testifying as a witness to be consistent in his or her attitude because jurors pay close attention to courtroom decorum and body language. "But most of all, it's important to be honest as a witness so you don't wind up backtracking on the stand."
It was the first such class format of its type to be offered in the 7th Judicial Circuit, which includes Volusia, Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties. Officers from Brevard and Orange counties also participated in the training.

The Tales Of The Superstition Mountains In Arizona
On this evaluate I might be speaking concerning the Danner Mountain Gentle and Mountain Light II boots and my general experience with and love of Danner Boots. The mountain is part of the Himalayas range which is legendary all over the world for the peak of its peaks and the fantastic thing about them. Parking is allowed in the Montezuma lot in River Run or the Porcupine lot at the Mountain Home base area. After getting settled on a kind of mountain bike, that you must purchase one that matches you. These are normally utilized by individuals who have been mountain biking for some time and so they would possibly even customize them as well.
There are some people who desire to buy a NC mountain cabin situated in Highlands city and Bryson City. Compare fore instance the temperature of Murree in Pakistan located at an elevation of 7500 ft (2250 M) of 77 F (25 C) in peak of summer time season with that of Islamabad positioned solely 55 Km away and having a excessive of more than one hundred F (38 C) in the same season.

The Mountain is an ecologically aware heart that has been inspiring individuals of all ages for greater than 35 years with enriching applications, a caring atmosphere and superb magnificence.

As I walked through the student center and turned left at Hofstra Hall, I was feeling anxious and nervous. I passed the foliage of the trees as I approached Mason Hall. I had a Writing Center appointment and was unsure of what to expect. I stepped over the threshold of Room 102 and automatically felt a warm and welcoming vibe. I attribute much of this to the relaxed nature of the tutors and the lack of walls separating the consulting spaces. I wascordially greeted by David O. who stood tall in his gray sweater sporting a wide smile, which instantaneously made me rest at ease. Originally, I did not come here of my own free will; Professor Gordon said that I needed to go to the Writing Center at least once before handing in my paper. So I wrote my outline and the first few drafts with the help of my peers. After I believed my paper was complete, I decided that this was when I was going to have my work reviewed. Although I was not looking forward to having my assignment looked over by a stranger, my mindset changed completely by the end of my time there.
First I had to schedule an appointment. You could do so by walking into the WC, calling or just going to their website. I decided to introduce myself online; it was quick and easy to create an account and to select a time to meet. All I needed was my name and my 700 number to set up a password. Then I chose the date and whether I wanted to convene in person or online. I decided to do a face-to-face session.
I thought that my paper was adequate---maybe it had a few grammatical mistakes---but that's about it. When I went there, I was expecting it to be a cold, top-down sort of meeting where I would be told what I did wrong, making me feel belittled. However, this was not the case at all. David and I proceeded to review my work. Instead of generating what seemed like a teacher-student relationship, it felt much more like a friendship. He asked me to read my paper aloud, and I was surprised to hear so many of my mistakes. Next, he explained to me what problems he had come across in my writing. Yes, I had an issue with putting commas in the right places.
Instead of revealing to me where it goes, then quickly moving on to the next pitfall, he explained why the punctuation went in that particular spot, and he helped me to identify my problem so as to not repeat it. Eventually, I started picking out the issues in my own paper. Learning that skill has helped me improve my writing dramatically. Although I came weary and skeptical of what I might
gain from the session, I left with a completely different outlook on the Writing Center.
I was no longer mandated to bring my work to be critiqued, yet I continued to do so because I felt that I would benefit from it. I brought all of my writing assignments to be reviewed before handing them in. With my very next paper, I had scheduled an appointment with Michael to look over an assignment which was due for my geography class. This time I was not skeptical at what the session could help me accomplish, but I was a little hesitant to work with someone other than David. However, I was blown away once again at how friendly and outgoing the tutors are, and Michael was no exception. He is a larger-than-life character whose presence fills the room, immediately making me feel comfortable. Even though he spoke more than David, he made references to modern culture, which made it easier to understand the lesson he was trying to teach. Similarly, he did not look down on me for making mistakes. He used analogies that helped me better understand the concept of coordinating conjunctions and how to use them properly in my paper. As the session progressed, I started to see my own omissions and I corrected them. By the end, I felt enlightened, and I learned a valuable skill that has helped me elevate my writing to a new level.
The third time I had decided to have my paper revised, I did not have the time to come in, so I scheduled an online appointment. It was quick and easy to set up. In lieu of having to go to Mason Hall, I could simply log on via my computer. The fact that the Writing Center is available in so many ways made it easy for me as a commuter to be able to have my paper reviewed on the weekend from home. I used this session to help me develop my concepts for my Political Science class and to condense them into just two pages. Personally, I prefer the face-to-face appointment where I can get to know the individual aiding me.
Nevertheless, I was once again taken aback at how effective was the meeting. David helped me to configure the flow of my essay with smooth transitions into each new idea. When I had asked him to look over my grammar, I was shocked at how my work was error free, after three simple corrections. He told me that I had put all of the commas in the right places and used great terminology in order to present my point across to the reader. I had felt so accomplished that not only did I take and fix my previous papers, but now I am able to prevent the issue from rising again. However, I am not the only person to have benefited from the Writing Center, Raymond Chappan said, "I found the Writing Center to be most helpful. They are non-prejudiced readers whose main purpose is to better my work. I have gone twice and both times I felt that my paper was better developed and that I have truly attained better writing skills."

They are non-prejudiced readers whose main purpose is to better my work. I have gone twice and both times I felt that my paper was better developed and that I have truly attained better writing skills."
When Professor Gordon said that we had to interview a service provider, naturally I chose the Writing Center. I wanted to reveal what a resource it has been to me and my time here at Hofstra. I decided to interview David, since I spent the most time with him. Due to his laid-back and friendly nature, he agreed to be interviewed even with little knowledge as to my assignment and the questions that I would ask. I inquired about what he does there. Through my conversation with him, I learned that the service does not only do scholastic writing; they can help with many different things including resumes, papers, personal writing, even things as such as scripts and comic strips (Olsson). "Basically, if it is anything written, the tutors here can help you work on it in every stage of your writing, from just brainstorming or doing final edits"
(Olsson). There are many instructors in the Writing Center who have appointments every day of the week at many different times. David says that in the average week he helps around thirteen
different people. I found that incredible, so I asked him why he chooses to work at the Writing Center. His response was simple: "I always loved to read, especially about a wide variety of topics. I also wanted to help others, so the WC was a perfect fit." As a tutor, David reads a variety of different topics and gains more knowledge on a myriad of subjects,while helping people improve their writing. I was also very curious as to what is the number one issue that arises in people's writing. According to him, a lot of people have trouble with the placement and use of commas. I could completely relate to this as I was one of the many who had the exact same issue. He says, "Commas are tricky, but once you know where they go it become a lot easier" (Olsson).
One thing that stood out to me in my interview with David was when he said, "People should know that we are only here to help, not to judge you and criticize you for making mistakes" (Olsson). Through my experiences, I found his statement to be true. No matter how stupid I thought the question was that I was asking, I knew that I could ask it because I wouldn't be ridiculed for it. I have used this facility every single time I have had a paper due, and until I feel that I am completely ready to skip that step, I will continue to do so.
The Writing Center has helped me to develop and to elevate my writing skills to a new level. Even though I was hesitant at first to go to for advice, I am glad to have gone. The tutors have helped me develop my writing in a nonjudgmental and cordial way. I felt at ease and comfortable talking about my writing and I became eager to know how to fix my issues. Like Deanna Weber, I went to the service skeptical and afraid of the unknown, but my experiences there have helped me to grow and have my confidence augmented (Weber). I am now able to take on a writing assignment knowing that I have the skills needed to succeed. I personally believe that if it hadn't been for Professor Gordon requiring me to take my paper to the Writing Center, I would be a much more inexperienced writer.

Often used as an example of divine beauty and purity, Vishnu is often described as the "Lotus-Eyed One".
The lotus flower is one of the Ashtamangala of Buddhism, representative of creation and cosmic renewal and "primordial purity" (Wylie: ka dag) and shares in the chakra and mandala symbolism of the Dharmacakra.
This has also taken root in Chinese cultures with a famous statement made by the 11th century Confucian scholar Zhou Dunyi:
"I love the lotus flower because while growing from mud, it is able to emerge unstained by its enviroment."

Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds I'm going to leave you with one question. What's your favourite historical period in terms of cooking food, gastronomy? Put the answer below. Before you do that, just have a look, we've put down for you some classic, typical flavour combinations from each of those periods. Have a look, get your juices going. If I could go back in time, and if I could taste anything, it would have to be Charles II's the 231 pound chocolate recipe. This recipe was designed entirely for luxury. It was filled with vanilla, chilli, cardamom, ambergris, civet. Anything expensive that you could bung into this was bunged into this chocolate recipe. It really was the epitome of luxury.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds I would say that I find the food of the Georgian Era some of the most sumptuous, some of the most exciting. But possibly that's because it's some of the food that's the closest to the sorts of things we enjoy today. When it comes to enjoying a meal for the complete difference than a medieval or Tudor meal is fascinating because you get to add a whole layer of manners and ways to eat it. Unfortunately, many scientists, me included, never practice what they preach. So we're using our models to look at high meat diets, and I'm afraid my preferred diet would also be a high meat diet.
Skip to 1 minute and 35 seconds So I might not be too keen on hearing the results of the health aspects of this as we move through the course. But let's see. For me, the best foods in Victorian Britain are puddings. There is nothing as British as a pudding. Puddings say Britain like no other food. My absolute favourite is one which is, I think puts me firmly in the class of plebeian. You take suet crust pastry, so 8 ounces flour, 3 ounces of suet. Roll it out into a large rectangle, spread it with sausage meat or bacon and onions, roll it out like a Swiss roll, put it in a pudding cloth or indeed an old shirt sleeve.
Skip to 2 minutes and 10 seconds You then boil it for 2 hours, take it out, and you can eat it as is. But if you filled it with sausage meat, you can do an even better thing. Which is when you slice it up, and then you fry it in dripping. And you have crispy suet crust and crispy meat. And then you have gooey suet crust in the middle. I mean you know what is not to like about that? I think I would choose a seafood platter. I'm very fond of seafood. And, yes, it would have lobsters on. But I understand that Henry VIII liked to serve dolphins at his table.
Skip to 2 minutes and 43 seconds And there are no dolphins on my seafood platter, lobsters and prawns and things like that only. And after it, I'd have a great big fruit salad of special fruit from all over the world.
Which era tasted the best?
In this final activity, Heston sets the perfect challenge to wrap up the course: Which historical era do you think tasted the best? Having explored the food served to five very different monarchs, which would you most want to taste?
In this video, hear our experts describe some of their favourite foods, and which foods they would travel back in time to taste.
To inspire you in this last discussion, we've pulled together some key flavours that epitomise each period. Some of these may be familiar to you from the cook-a-long activities each week.
Tudor – pomegranates, ginger, venison, pike and beer
Elizabethan – sugar, oranges, capon [chicken], rosewater and quince
George I – anchovies, bone marrow, tansy, chocolate and currants
George III – cream, brandy, mace, orange flower water and veal
Victoria – parsley, cayenne, perfect peaches, tea and mutton
So, it's over to you. Which era do you think tasted the best? And is there a particular dish that you wish you could try?
Further reading
For those of you keen to continue your studies on Queen Victoria and her food, we've compiled a list of suggested further reading material, provided by previous Learners in a PDF at the bottom of this Step.

The doctrine of total depravity
I like protestants, generally for the lol factor.
While all faithful are faithful by stupidity and nothing elsei, the exact distribution of the simply stupidii, the wilfully stupidiii and the inadvertently stupidiv varies throughout history.
The current distribution would seem to roughly concentrate the simply stupid in catholicism and orthodoxy (eastern catholicism), the wilfully stupid in the various protestant sects (which is pretty much what "christian" means in the US these days - fitting seeing how wilfully stupid Americans are in general) and the inadvertently stupid in various exotics, such as buddhists or whatever. Consequently the protestants would be the funniest of the bunch, there's nothing quite as amusing as the dude trying to argue the roundness of the cube. Here, let's have a homemade sample :
Since the intersection of a number of spheres would clearly and necessarily be a rounded object, it should not surprise anyone that the cube - as the intersection of six conveniently chosen spheres with the centers conveniently placed in six different spots each a different infinity away - is as round an object as any other and indeed rounder than many.
There you have it, I've summed up thousands of years and billions of paragraphs worth of "religious debate". They're all the same thing, which is to say wordplay for the swaying of the stupid.
And now that we've had our introduction, let's consider the protestant doctrine of total depravity. This doctrine, settled upon by the Dortrecht in the early 1600s as a response to some internal debatev states basically that people are by nature not inclined or even able to love god, but rather are without exception inclined to serve their own will and desire and to reject the rule of god. In this view man does not want to, and is indeed incapable of choosing god. To round matters up, even the practice of religion or philanthropy are wicked to god to the extent that these originate from a human imagination, passion or will, and are not done to the glory of god. Because they know what's what with this god fellow and they're telling us all about it.
I find this point hysterical because restated in less stupidity-inflamed terms, it simply says that religion sucks. It makes no sense, interests nobody and generally speaking has about as much to do with people as high heels have to do with deer.
Now imagine a herd of deer which are by nature not inclined or even able to wear high heels, but rather are without exception inclined to run around the forest chewing shoots and making colts and reject the wearing of high heels. Not only are they not interested in wearing high heels, but they are indeed incapable to do so. Even should they accidentally step into a shoe somehow left in the forest, they couldn't really be said to be wearing high heels in any sense.
Sound about right ? Well... that's because it is. "Faith", of any sort and of any flavour is pretty much a pack of deer pretending they're going around the forest in high heels. Isn't it so very muchly refined and above the station of those savages who know enough to not give a shit about all this nonsense ?
It's not a matter of finding the right make (are Prada high heels better than Dior high heels if you're a deer ?) or material or cut or color. There may be a matter of the height of the heel, in the sense that if you're a deer choosing a heel you'd best go with the shortest available, and in this sense if you're about to pay actual money to one of the religious bullshit artists you're certainly better off going with whichever is cheaper - as the benefit they deliver is universally equal. But that aside it'd just be a lot more sensible to come to the realisation that deer neither need nor have any reason to wear high heels.
- There is no redeeming quality to religion - it is just a personally convenient and socially supported choice to be stupid, very popular since it's so much easier than any alternative [↩]
- The simply stupid are people with no redeeming intellectual ability. An IQ below average, if you take IQs to be measuring anything (even if it rarely goes under 60 or so - the actual retards rarely have enough in them to bother with or care about such topics). [↩]
- The wilfully stupid are those who display sufficient skill and intellectual ability in other fields such that indubitably were they to apply their mind to the matter of religion they'd soon enough come to the realisation that it's all meaningless bunk. Indeed many have. Nevertheless for whatever reasons they choose to suppress this obvious realisation. Often enough it's just a desire to be left alone - such as displayed by the researcher living in a community of dunces who have for whatever reason put religion at the core of their identity. Since he'd rather do what interests him than what the community needs, the self-centered, immoral man will just "live and let live", of sorts. Also often enough it's just a desire to exploit and control - hence the expression "conveniently stupid" applied by this sort of self-centered, immoral man to his duncy confederates. In any case the wilfully stupid is an emotionally defective citizen of the world, and quite immoral a being. [↩]
- People can err. If someone gives you some pears and for whatever reason that someone also tells you they come from yonder plum tree you might temporarily conclude the plum tree indeed is a pear tree - at least until you bother to examine the foliage, the fruit, the flowering or pretty much anything else. Often these people have had idiot parents expound whatever religious nuttery to them during childhood and have never happened to examine the matter since. [↩]
- A bunch of arminians had their five articles of remonstrance, the rest of the church remained unimpressed. Apparently these emo kids of yore weren't protestant enough to protest quite everything all the time. South Park did it. [↩]

Alternatively, you can use the pre-selected b-roll location pages where you can add the date into each location you would like to shoot at. These allow productions to shoot on the city sidewalks as listed to capture such views of "iconic San Francisco" as:
- Jefferson Street at Taylor Street (for a view of Fisherman's Wharf)
- Haight at Ashbury Street (for a view of the Haight)
- Embarcadero between Harrison and Folsom Streets (for a view of the Bay Bridge)
- Lombard between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets (for a view of the crooked "Lombard" Street)
- Market at Embarcadero (for a view of the Ferry Building)
- Castro Street between 18th and Market Streets (for a view of the Castro neighborhood and rainbow crosswalk)
- Bush Street at Grant Avenue (for a view of the Dragon's Gate at the Chinatown entrance)
- Hyde Street between North Point and Francisco Streets (for a view of the Russian Hill neighborhood)
These b-roll locations are for crews of 5 people or under. Larger crews will be considered by the Film Office on a case-by-case review.
Permitting for Production Vehicle Parking
Street parking, both metered and non-metered, may be requested as part of your permit application if you need parking for production trucks and vehicles, picture vehicles and/or to clear for picture. Parking requests are not accepted for crew or cast personal vehicles. Production vehicle parking is included in your permit fee cost.
- All production vehicles must have placards with the production name on their dashboards in order to avoid confusion and possible ticketing.
- Motorhomes with pop-outs cannot be used on city streets.
- Active zones such as loading, passengers, bus and hydrant, cannot be posted or parked in at any time by members of the production unless approved by the Film Office.
- Our parking permissions do not override street sweeping or "No Stopping For Thru Traffic" zones. We cannot authorize permission for your parking to override these SFMTA zones. It is your responsibility to read the street signs and regulations adjacent to your desired parking spaces.
- In certain areas of the City, production companies may be required to provide additional off-street parking to compensate residents.
- Any changes to a posting must be approved by the Film Office.
- All efforts to locate vehicle owners will be made to the exclusion of towing.
- The parking of production equipment overnight on City streets is prohibited without prior approval from the Film Office
- Parking along the curb or filming where street artist vendors are permitted by the SF Arts Commission can result in payment of $200 per day per artist by the production due to business interruption, as required by the Permit Application Use Agreement. Please see link for their specific permit locations.
To request parking be sure to check the box for "Parking Request" on the locations page(s) of your permit application. In addition, a map must be submitted that includes the following:
- A basic view of the street and surrounding streets (e.g. Google Maps or Map Viewer)
- A directional indicator for North
- An "X" or square illustrating each proposed parking spot to be permitted
- The Production Name
- The Date and Times of the permitted parking
- A contact number from the Production (Note: this will be posted on the No Stopping signs)
See attached Parking Example Map.
If you are requesting to permit 4 or more parking spots, for 4 or more hours, you will be required to leaflet the neighboring businesses and residents to inform them of your intended filming activity and use of parking.
See template for this Neighborhood Film Notification (Film Notice). Here is an Example Film Notice.pdf
*COVID-19 Neighorhood Film Notification must be used during the duration of the Public Health Order.*
A completed neighborhood notification letter must be approved by the Film Office before proceeding with distribution which must be done 72 hours in advance of the shoot. For guidelines on how to distribute the notices to the neighborhoods, please check our Filming Guidelines page.
*If you are requesting 4 parking spots or under, you have the option of self-posting the "No Stopping" signs by borrowing the signage from the Film Office and posting by a designated time. For more information, see Posting Instructions.
*We are not allowing self-posting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please see below for instructions on how to contact a posting vendor.
If you are requesting over 4 parking spots total, you will be required to have a posting vendor post the "No Stopping" signs for you. For more information, see Posting Instructions.
The Film Office has four city approved posting contractors:
- Harry Stein and Bob Loeffler with Up and Down Signs: 415-290-2736 and 510-816-4093
- Rashod Edwards with R&R Traffic Solutions: 510-689-8285

- (For projects requiring 50 or more spaces) Travis Ervin with TriCal Rentals: 415-633-6827 or e-mail email@example.com with subject line "Film No Stopping"
Permitting for Student Filming
The Film Office works with local film schools to assist students looking to permit film projects in the City. A student project is defined as a class assignment that is under providable insurance coverage by a university. If your university is not able to provide your project with the required general liability insurance coverage, you will need to follow the standard permitting process.
Please note: if the school is providing general liability for the student then the certificate of insurance (COI ) must include the student's name and shoot dates.
For student filming, all paperwork must be submitted to the Film Office no less than five (5) business days prior to your first shoot date via e-mail to email@example.com. As a courtesy to students we do not charge a permit fee, however there may be fees associated with other permitting bodies within the City. Student filmmakers and photographers should obtain a film permit for any project occurring on City property. Students will need to submit the following:
- The Film Permit Use Agreement above with the contractor listed as "(Name of School) / (Name of Student)" – e.g. "San Francisco State University / John Doe". Make sure to use the school's address on the Use Agreement.
- A copy of their student ID
- A Teacher Approval Form from their instructor or department head verifying their school project. This letter must come directly from the instructor to the Film Office via e-mail. See attached Teacher Approval Form.
- Signed insurance waiver form for workers compensation (found on the last page of the Use Agreement, Exhibit E).
- The student will need to show proof of auto liability if they are driving to/from location, using a vehicle for filming or renting a production vehicle:
- If the student applicant is driving to/from location, the student will need to send a copy of their driver's license and insurance card.
- If the student or anyone on the crew is renting a vehicle, they need to send a copy of the driver's license of who is renting/driving the vehicle and show proof of buying the rental car company's supplemental auto liability insurance (up to $1 million). We need a copy of the rental contract showing the purchase of the supplemental auto liability prior to issuing the film permit.
- If the student or anyone on the crew is filming a moving vehicle (inside or outside of the vehicle), they will need to show evidence of up to $1 million auto liability coverage and send a copy of their driver's license.
- If the student is filming a parked personal vehicle and will not move during filming, they will need to provide proof of auto liability (copy of insurance card) and a copy of their driver's license.
- If the student is NOT using vehicles for filming and the student applicant is only taking public transportation/taxi to/from location, they can check the auto waiver on the insurance waiver (found on the last page of the Use Agreement, Exhibit E).
- A copy of the script or pages pertaining to the locations requested. Note: this is not required for still photography.
Students seeking to obtain a film permit for the first time should expect to meet with the Film Office to go over filming conduct while on city property and general safety while filming.
Permitting for Late-Night or Early-Morning Filming (Signature Survey)
The Film Office grants permits for filming between the hours of 7am-10pm. However, the Film Office can permit productions outside of these hours, taking into consideration the City Noise Ordinance (San Francisco Police Code Article 29), provided they complete a signature survey.
Signature Survey Process
Upon the Film Office's approval to begin a signature survey, the production company must canvas the neighborhood and collect an 80% positive response from the residents, acknowledging the late night or early morning filming. Signatures must be submitted to the Film Office no fewer than 3 business days prior to the filming date. Because of this deadline we strongly urge productions to start the process at least 2 weeks in advance.
- The production should create a map detailing the impacted zone and send it to the Film Office. This should include the parking diagram setup, the filming setup, etc. The Film Office will review and identify the zone which must be surveyed. The zone is usually 300 feet past the last parking posted and film or equipment set-up.
- The production should then create a signature survey to prepare to leaflet, using our tempate. This survey should include details of the specific areas impacted. In addition, the hours of filming listed on the survey should include prep and wrap time, not just the actual filming hours. Here is a Template of the Signature Survey Notice and sample Signature Survey Map.
- Once the survey begins, productions are urged to continue to visit each residence from the zone until they receive a response. Therefore, multiple trips may occur. A minimum of three attempts on separate days during hours when residents would normally be home (evening during the week; day or evening on weekend) is required.
- When the results are ready to be tallied, the production must create a diagram and results report that illustrates the responses. The results report should clearly indicate:
- The response of each resident on a map
- A breakdown of each resident's response and a final tally of:
- Consent
- Object
- Refused to Respond
- Vacant
- Out of Town
- No Response
- Notes on for each as to dates/times attempts were made to secure approval
- The percentage of response overall
- The percentage of positive responses
Here is a sample Results Report. You are not required to complete your report on a computer but it must be legible.
5. Finally, bring in all documents, including originals organized in a binder, ito the Film Office to go over results.
There are some exceptions to this requirement. Filming in non-residential zones, i.e. Financial District around no residential building- we may be able to make exceptions to the need of a signature survey. Ask the Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Commission for a final decision.
Sample Script for Surveying Residents/Business Owners
Below is a guide of how to approach a resident or business owner: If you are going into a business, always ask to speak to a manager or owner (when available):
My name is ________________ and I work on behalf of (production company) and our production is requesting to film on (street name) during (hours) on (date). In order to obtain a permit with the San Francisco Film Commission during these hours, we are required to get signatures from nearby residents who may be affected by the filming activities, acknowledging you have been notified and are amenable to the filming. Please review this survey. You can sign the survey now or I can pick up the survey at later time. Do you have any questions? Thank you for your time and consideration.
Permitting to Film with an Unmanned Aircraft System (Drones)
A request to use an Unmanned Aircraft System for filming over city property under jurisdiction for Film SF to permit can be considered, but there are several requirements involved. Drone filming activity operating under a 333-Exemption or with 14CFR Part 107 and the appropriate waivers will be reviewed for approval if the locations fall under jurisdiction of the Film Office to permit. Please click on the above link for all information and resources.
All materials must be delivered to Film SF seven (7) business days prior to the requested shoot date in order for the office to consider processing requests for film permits that include the use of drones, and be aware that the process will not begin until all required documentation has been submitted.
Please note that requesting to film with an Unmanned Aircraft System requires the production to provide additional insurance as laid out in the Film Permit Application Use Agreement. In addition, productions will be required to provide public notice of their flight plan through AirMap.
Current drone filming that has been approved for operation within the city of San Francisco can be found at https://filmsf.airmap.com/

Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.[a]
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord's favor has come,[b]
and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies.
3 To all who mourn in Israel,[c]
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
I've been the broken-hearted. I've been captive. I've mourned and lived my life shattered and in ruins. And today, as I climb out of that valley, hand-in-hand with Jesus, the only purpose I can see in my life for the brokenness is that maybe, just maybe, I can share the healing I find with others so that they can find their healing, too.
I work for a ministry that touches thousands of lives on a daily basis, but I'm rarely the hand touching the lives. We have pastors and youth pastors that are the hands in our ministry. The only ministry my hands seem to find is cutting the checks to pay the bills so that the ministry can go on. But occasionally, I get pulled out of the office and find myself on the front lines. And one such night was the night I met Keira.
The worship service that night was incredible. Almost all of our almost-two-hundred high schoolers had flooded down to the front of the stage and were standing there with their hands raised, singing. I and most of the staff stood around the edges of the campers, singing. Glancing to my left, I saw Nate—one of our youth pastors—kneeling with his hands and face raised to the sky. Tears dripped down his face. God was moving and there was an air of expectation and gratitude.
The praise band sang through another song and I stood on the edge of the court and watched in awe as these teenagers just totally got reverent and focused on God. The speaker released the staff to pray with the kids. And we did. But the air of expectation remained and I was gripped by the feeling that whatever my assignment for the evening was, it hadn't been completed. I looked around and saw teenagers standing with their hands raised and others sitting cross-legged on the court and others still, sitting along the walls with their heads down on their bent knees.
And then, my speaker gave the assignment. He asked the teenagers that if they were feeling depressed or suicidal and would like prayer, to raise their hands. Before the question was out of his mouth, I saw a hand raise all the way on the other side of the court. I didn't wait to see which other hands raised. I knew that I was supposed to pray with her–the blonde in the lime green t-shirt that was sitting at the three-point line.
I had never met her, but it didn't matter. By the time I reached her, she was gasping sobs. She was on her knees, rocking and when I reached out for her, she fell into my arms. I asked her name and somehow, I understood it through flood of tears and the curtain of hair that covered her face.
I just held her and kept rocking. She curled into me and wept wave after wave of emotion into the collar of my white t-shirt. Then, the words came. I pulled back from her, looked at her face, and knew exactly what I was supposed to say.
"God created every part of you before the world began. And he has been madly in love with you ever since that moment that He created you. He has a purpose for you. But Satan is your enemy and he wants to steal your joy, take away your purpose, and kill you."
I pushed her blonde hair off of her face and behind her ear. She looked at me, tears streaming, and I saw absolutely no hope in her eyes. For a moment, I had no words for her, but then they came again.
"I was in college. And one night, I decided that the pressure was more than I could stand. So, I got a Kleenex and I got up and found every pill that I could find and put them on the Kleenex…"
Before I could finish my story, Keira shot to attention like she'd been electrified. She grasped my hands and said, "That's me! That's what I did! That's what I did!"
I told her the story—which I've told on this blog before—of the night I almost overdosed on pills. And as I told her, I watched her. And as I talked, I watched the light come on behind her eyes. I could almost see the words written on her forehead. It's okay. I'm okay. Somebody understands me. Somebody has been where I've been. And when I saw that, I knew she'd be okay.
God gave Keira a lifeline that night. And I'm humbled that He trusted me to help. I sat with her and explained how she doesn't have to earn God's love—He loves her because He created her. And she can't be enough or do enough to make the world happy. But she doesn't have to make the world happy. God didn't create her to make the world happy. He created her to walk in the cool of the garden with Him, just like he created Adam and Eve to walk in the cool of the garden with Him. It's all about our relationship with Him. And He's one that heals my brokenness. And Keira's brokenness. And your brokenness.
This is a part of the One Word Blog Carnival on Brokenness at my friend Bridget's place.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Peyton Manning informed the Denver Broncos that he wants to come back for his 18th NFL season.
Now, things are going to get very interesting.
Manning guaranteed $19 million if he is on Denver's roster on March 9. Considering the Broncos have Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas to re-sign, it might not be the most financially sane move to dish out nearly $20 million in base salary to a quarterback whose physical skills are eroding at age 38.
To me, it doesn't make a ton of sense for the Broncos to bring Manning back if your main goal is to win a Super Bowl…UNLESS, the plan is to continue to center the offense around the rushing attack.
If Denver is going to drop back Manning over 600 times again, you know how that movie is going to end….
…And they probably do too. Is Manning better than 95% of the quarterbacks in the NFL at this point of his career? Absolutely.
That is the Catch 22 here. Jumping inside of the collective brain of Denver's brass, they may know it's time to move on considering they are revamping their offensive system. Yet, are they patient enough to watch another quarterback develop that is not named Peyton Manning?
When the curtain is pulled back on the 2015 season, I don't think Manning will be under center for the Broncos. Well, not at $19 million in 2015.
