I planted a patio cherry tree and it sits on my patio. It grows leaves but no cherries. The leaves look like they are lacking in water which it cannot be as it is fairly wet here but it is in full sun. Please help.

If you plant a lone sour cherry tree, expect fruits to develop after bees pollinate the blossoms. However, sweet cherry trees must not be planted by themselves, as another compatible sweet cherry tree must bloom at the same time to ensure cross-pollination. You cannot plant two of the same sweet cherry tree cultivar and expect good cross-pollination. Another cultivar is needed. Read more: Do I Need Two Cherry Trees to Pollinate? | eHow.com www.ehow.com/

Linky Friday #194: Crime & Turkey
Economics:[Ec1] People willing to dispose of conveniences will be allowed to fly more cheaply than people who indulge themselves with them. Cool. (Well, up to a point. Bathrooms need to stay free.)
[Ec2] The Atlantic would like to wish you a happy holiday, you gluttonous cretin.
[Ec3] Via James K, our latest export to New Zealand is Black Friday.
[Ec4] Spain wants you to stop using cash.
[Ec5] Finally! Someone explains the NES Classic Edition to me in words I can understand. The TV thing is lost on me since I keep a laptop hooked up to our televisions.
[Ec6] Ed West explains how you can be against the elite, even if you're pretty rich and pampered yourself. Just as the non-wealthy need the wealthy to advocate for them, so it goes in other arenas.
[Ec7] Good news! We no longer need concern ourselves with Paul Krugman's alien invasion.
Education:[Ed1] Some school rezoning has been delayed because this sort of thing is complicated even when there are no Republicans involved.
[Ed2] The New York Times has a good look at which states are experiencing the brain drain and the brain gain. It's not entirely what you think. Less red vs blue and more reddening vs blueming.
[Ed3] In part because the educational divide and its effect on our politics and our nation.

[C4] Yeah, I don't like snakes, either.
[C5] While turkeys are apparently not so into the wild.
Law:[L1] Two lawyers, two parrots, two tweets, one joke, much acrimony.
[L2] The headline is a bit deceptive, but I think the plaintiff actually has a point here.
[L3] This is disappointing for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it's Butch Otter.
[L4] This is one of those "don't know where to begin" stories.
[L5] This could have been a supervillain origin story.
[L6] This seems… unpleasant.
[L7] Maybe the burglar just wanted the television.

Missile evasion is a very important part of modern air combat, yet many people believe it is impossible. But this is false, for several reasons. First reason is that missile cannot turn tighter than the aircraft: in order to pull as tight turn as a fighter aircraft, missile has to pull amount of g that is amount of g's aircraft can pull multiplied by factor of difference in speed squared. For example, Typhoon can pull 9 g at 360 kts, and IRIS-T can pull 60 g at Mach 3, or 1.984 knots. What this means is that IRIS-T will have 4,5 times as wide turn diameter. If target is pulling 9 g at Mach 0,9, then IRIS-T will still have 1,7 times as wide turn diameter, and if target is pulling sustained 5 g turn at 360 kts, IRIS-T will have 2,5 times as wide turn diameter.
Evasion is made easier in some situations by the fact that missile always attempts to lead the target. Thus if target changes heading, it will be hard pressed to correct. This is the case with BVR missiles, where target fighter aircraft can turn so that missile faces its side and only enter a turn once missile is close. Probability of BVR missile hitting is made worse by the fact Read the rest of this entry »

Backtesting and Optimization to be pretty much essential step in trading strategy development. If the strategy is not performing well in the backtest results we can skip the system and move on to the next one. But if the backtest results are good then one should be extra cautious as most of the times backtesting your own Trading Strategy might give interesting results. However when comes to practical trading the scenario might be completely different and most of the times it results in a poor performance or lower than the expected backtest results.

A page turning mystery with a supernatural twist that entertains to the last page! ~InD'tale Magazine
When teens go missing in Hawaii, a group of demon-hunters—half human and half angel—disguised as high school students, must leave Crossroads, the place where they reside. In a race against time, they uncover the mystery connecting the missing teens, which dates back to the era of the Knights Templar. However, when they discover one of the Templars passed down a book containing all the secrets and codes to finding a particular treasure, they soon realize this forbidden treasure needs to be found before Cyrus, the lord of the possessor demons, acquires it—a treasure which been safeguarded and hidden from him.
There is only one problem: the pages containing the clues leading to the treasure is missing. When the first page is found, Cyrus threatens to kill more descendants of the Knights Templar if it is not given to him by Friday the thirteenth. In the midst of threats and discovery, the demon-hunting angels find they are not alone when supernatural beings begin to reveal themselves. Can they put their differences aside and work together to solve the Knights Templars' cipher? As they astral travel to the past, they witness a lot more than they have bargained for. And some things are better left unseen.

Exciting; spectacular; surprising!!!
Believe me when I say this. I can be your fantasy. I can be your dream come true. I can be whatever you want me to be. But I am no angel. If you rub me the wrong way, I will be your devil, your worst nightmare. by Eli
- I wasn't sure about this one. After the first book, that it was only a prequel explaining a bit of the setting, I was uncertain about enjoying this one. OMG! This was amazing!!!
- The world-building is fantastic. I love the entire concept. Everything I had not understood on the previous book has been explained here and has hooked me.
- I couldn't relate to the characters on the prequel, well now I'm in love with all of them. I hope they all get their own books after we read a few more about Lucia and Eli.
- This book was so addictive, that I read almost in one sitting. It kept me guessing and wanting more. In fact, I was frantic looking in my kindle to see if I had book three already.
- Ms. Ting's creativity has no bounds. She has created a world of demons, angels and fallen angels of things I have never read before. It all make perfect sense and it has been masterfully created.
- All characters are multi-dimensional and they feel real, even though most of them are supernatural beings.
- The romance is beautiful. I felt the chemistry between the couple from the beginning. I could feel their love growing throughout the book.
- The end, OMG, is was WOW!!!!
- I love the cover! Is so sexy, classy at the same time I can perfectly see Eli and Lucia.
Being one of the descendants, as we go forth on this crusade together, I dub thee knights. We are the chosen knights. by Jack
- I cannot think of many things that could have been better. Maybe the end, since it has a cliffhanger of sorts and let us wishing for book 3 right now.
I am…everything, … , And you…are my girl with wings. … You will be the destruction of me. by Eli
You MAY buy this book because you have read the prequel; you SHOULD buy this book because you enjoy paranormal reads; you MUST read this book because you are looking for some different, unexpected, fresh!!!
Eli willed his sword away. It disappeared behind his back, just the way I would have done it. "You know nothing. Nothing about me is human. I won't be a part of something that could kill any one of you."
"How could it kill us if—?" Then I had a thought, recalling the first time I'd seen him in the cafeteria. I had no evidence but it was worth the shot. "You can astral travel, can't you? You've done it before, when you first saw me in the cafeteria. You can travel in the present too. That's why you took off."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Do you even know what that is?" His jaw clenched.
I knew he was lying. "Out-of-body experience." I followed behind him when he started walking away.
"You have no idea of the consequences when you travel. Astral travel."
"Then let it be my consequence."
Eli whipped around. His face was just a breath away from mine. "You have no idea what you're talking about."
"Then show me."
Eli pierced his eyes into mine. His heart drummed a mile a minute. "You want to feel pain, Lucia? You want to know what happens to people when they astral travel?"
"I-I—" I didn't know what to say. I certainly didn't expect him to say the things he did.
Eli extended his arm to me. "Take my hand."
"Take my hand, Lucia." His tone was stern.
I shook my head.
"Last warning."
"Last warning for—ELI." I screamed. My stomach dropped, along with my body. Eli's arms embraced me as we plunged through multiple layers of clouds with my back facing down. Hair whipped my face and the force of gravity made me dizzy.
"You didn't heed my warning, Lucia," Eli grumbled.
"So you're trying to kill me?" The normal reaction for someone in this situation would be to fight back, but my instincts told me I wasn't in danger. "What are you doing?" The clouds got smaller as we plummeted faster by the second. I began to have second thoughts. Wanting to believe so badly I could get through to him, I'd let it possibly cost my life.
He ignored my plea. Looking squarely in my eyes as air rushed against us, he said nonchalantly, "Get ready to die."

Michael and Claudia's decision to move back to Crossroads was to keep their children safe, but they can't escape who they are. Their children, Zachary and Lucia, were destined to be demon hunters—Venators. From the age they were able to hold a sword, they were trained to become the best and to ensure they would become leaders one day.
All is peaceful throughout the land until the Fallen and demons' presences were felt in the between and on Earth. As the Venators investigate these locations, they will quickly learn how dangerous their lives are. Hearts will be broken. Teammates will lose their lives. And they will face obstacles which will test their faith.
As danger grows, the fear of fallen angels and demons regrouping has the Divine Elders on pins and needles. Now, Zachary and Lucia, along with Uncle Davin, must prepare themselves—mentally and physically—to live on Earth to investigate where the focal point of evil resides before it's too late.

Eli, Lucia's half-demon love interest, has been stabbed with a true-cross dagger and captured by Cyrus, master of the possessor demons.
The Chosen Knights must work together once again not only to save Eli, but also to decipher a clue to find the second missing page of Jacques de Molay's journal. Meanwhile, Uncle Davin informs Crossroads Divine Elders of the danger ahead and learns there is much more to fear.
Countless children are being taken from all over the world to be turned into demons.
Michael, one of the Divine Elders, has no choice but to intervene. The Chosen Knights track down Mortem, the demon who is the key to finding Cyrus, and learn they must travel deep into the pit of a Hawaiian volcano.
When they astral travel to the past in search of a clue and follow Jacques de Moley to Roselyn Chapel in medieval Scotland, what they find will rewrite history.

ATG (SepOct13) - Explaining air leaks
Question: Jason writes 'what is an air leak"? What does it mean?
Answer: You will hear that mentioned a lot when referring to two cycle engines. However that does apply to four cycle engines as well. Sense you have a vintage using a four cycle engine we will focus a tad more in that direction.
An air leak is basically the same thing as a vacuum leak and is just more of a term used in area's we sometimes do not recognize as an vacuum area. Vacuum area's are carburetor gaskets, carburetor shaft, mounting adapter, seal, fuel pick up line at tank, tank siphon tube, clamp, and engine block hose connections.
Air leaks are more of an area like air cleaner housings, air cleaner hose, or some sort of air inlet to the carburetor. The bottom line is both terms affect engine performance Think about air to fuel ratio for a moment. If we have too little air we have a rich fuel mixture and poor power. If we have too much air we have a lean fuel mixture and cannot have good engine performance. You have to have a good balance of air to fuel for good performance. With that said you can usually tell (based on good compression, spark, fuel and exhaust) some sort of air leak is draining engine performance.
Look for black soot on the spark plug, that is one good sign. Look for hard starting or not starting at all. Look for erratic idling or smoke out the exhaust. Sounds like the engine is misfiring. Loss of power is seen. As you can see this all resembles ignition issues, carburetion issues or even compression issues. You have to rule out those things first. Once we have then we look at those pesky air leaks or vacuum leaks.
Air leaks, look for loose hose clamps or an inlet hose with a hole in it. Or even a clasping hose simulating a leak or ignition problem. Look for cracks or holes in the air cleaner housing. Look for an air cleaner lid that is improperly seated, I see that a lot. Look for an air filter that is full of debris simulating an air leak. Look at any sort of crank case ventilation tube or hose with a hole in it or loose clamps.
Vacuum leaks can be, a seal, or fuel pick up tube that has fallen off. Fuel outlet hose from fuel tank sucking air around the mounting grommet. Throttle shaft sucking air or mounting adapter. Any place that has to do with vacuum you must check. Never rule out the little things and only concentrate on the larger common items. Air leaks are a part of troubleshooting a fuel system. So do not over look this. One other area that is often over looked is the gas tank cap. It has to be vented to the atmosphere or it can fool you making you think we have ignition issue or vacuum leaks. Rule things out and follow procedure and don't just get one thought in your mind look at the whole picture.

Translator: Lonelytree, _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Lucas
Time cruelly moved on, paying no heed to the many lives that wished for it to slow down…
At about ten meters away from their destination, the anti-gravitational system was keeping the shuttle barely afloat. Its rocket engine was too damaged to manage more than a slow crawl. But the reality was that they didn't have the time to slowly inch towards their target.
Yao Yuan sat silently at his seat before getting up abruptly and rushing to the shuttle entrance. He yelled, "You two keep the shuttle balanced. You don't need to pilot it, just keep it balanced!"
On the way to the door, Yao Yuan swiped a black box that was hanging on the wall. Before the two men realized what was happening, Yao Yuan was already prepared to jump out of the shuttle. Secured only by a safety cable, Yao Yuan held in one hand the black box and in the other an army knife as he jumped over the distance that separated them from the heart of the plants.
With a little pre-jump acceleration, it was technically not a hard gap to close. But to jump with the realization that a slip could cost one's life was mind-blowing enough to stun both Zhang Heng and Jay. After they managed to recollect themselves, the two men looked at each other and said, almost in unison, "Do you know how to control a shuttle?"
To which the answer was a collective silence.
Part of Yao Yuan's willingness to commit to that jump was his faith in the tensile strength of the security cable. The rope was made for usage in space, so it was at least one hundred meters long and as strong as steel. With its help, Yao Yuan flung himself across the chasm. In mid-flight, at a distance where he could reach out and literally touch the outer wall of the heart, Yao Yuan unsheathed his knife and stuck it firmly into the wall.
Inertia dragged him further down another ten meters. When he finally stopped sliding, he quickly removed the knife. To his horror, the blade disintegrated right before his eyes. Missing not even a beat, he tossed the knife away and stuck one of his hands into the open crack in the wall while the other hand frantically unlocked the black box.
Resting within the box were three thick hypodermic syringes filled with plant virus. Because they were strapped within their case, they were hard to release using only one hand. In an effort to maintain his balance, Yao Yuan had to lean half of his upper body into the crack. When he felt relatively secured, he moved his hand out of the crack to help with the syringe strap only to realize the spacesuit around his hand had already been completely eaten.
That might, however, turn out to be a blessing in disguise because for a job as delicate as fiddling with a strap, the protection of a space suit might be more of a hindrance than an aid. During that moment, Yao Yuan unconsciously entered a state of deep calm and all his powers decided to kick into high gear. Within that peaceful cocoon of silence, the details of his surroundings were rising up to meet him, a voice was in his head was offering guidance, and a deep attunement to the emergence of danger and malice was forged. In a way, he felt very much unlike his human self.
With his hand curled firmly around the syringe, he wiggled his hand out of the box and fiercely shoved the syringe into the heart's outer wall!
As predicted by the scientists, as soon as the virus was injected, the plant started shriveling. In a matter of seconds, the lush outer walls turned into a dry husk.
Despite having the world around him falling apart, Yao Yuan stayed in his position. He was silently timing himself. With a sudden burst of speed, instead of turning back out, Yao Yuan picked himself up and charged deeper into the heart. Ignoring the fact that his spacesuit was slowly breaking apart, he stormed ahead while each of his hands were gripping the remaining two syringes tightly.
Back on the shuttle, a crisp snap could be heard. When both Jay and Zhang Heng twisted their heads around, what they saw was the end of cable flapping in the wind…
"That crazy man! He really does want to be humanity's savior, does he not? Why did I believe him when he said he had faith in me?!" Jay growled angrily as he sprinted towards the pilot seat.
"Zhang Heng, be prepared to raise our elevation! Get this thing higher!"
Jay grabbed hold of another secured security cable and tied it to his spacesuit. However, as he neared the open door, the fire that had been burning in his eyes seemed to have dwindled. He started to hesitate.
"Damn that man! His faith in me is going to cost both of our lives!"
Yelling, Jay jumped out of the shuttle…
"Thirty-one seconds, thirty seconds…"
At the same time, Yao Yuan was essentially squeezing blindly ahead. He couldn't confidently tell what direction he was going in in the semi darkness, but he knew that he had been circling around a basketball-sized object. It had left such an impression on him because its sturdy exterior felt so drastically different from the plump plant fibers.
As a realization dawned upon him, he swiftly pierced the two syringes into the object. Then he pressed down hard on them, injecting every single drop of the virus into it.
Right there and then, Yao Yuan felt an overwhelming emotion sweep over him. It was fear. Pure and unfettered fear. Before he could understand it, the pressure that had been pressing in on him suddenly released. The walls that he had been squeezing through had shriveled and shrunk. Before him, a semi-transparent capsule was revealed. The capsule was connected to numerous transference pipes and those pipes themselves were connected to more capsules that Yao Yuan realized littered the room. He surveyed his surroundings and realized that he had been standing in the heart of the plant all along. Unlike how the Academy had speculated, the heart was not a giant capsule but rather a room filled with a sea of capsules, each containing a type of mineral or energy crystal.
The spot where Yao Yuan had stuck the syringes were near the bottom of one such capsule. Yao Yuan could see the virus spread across the plant through the interconnecting tubes. Beginning from that one capsule, the plant started to wilt.
More plant walls started to collapse as the virus travelled through the tubes. In less than ten seconds, it had even reached the tendrils underneath the Hope, killing them in one go. This was a testament to how strong and advanced these plants' lives were, a strength that ironically enough became its downfall.
Caught in the collapse, Yao Yuan lost his footing and started falling towards the ground. Only then did he realize that he was almost naked; the spacesuit and the security cable had entirely fallen away. What he had on him was only the basketball-esque object that he instinctively grabbed before falling.
(Is this the end?)
With the wilting plants raining down around him, Yao Yuan closed his eyes, preparing to make his peace.
(Mission accomplished… Finally, it's accomplished…)
(I did not opt for the easy way out. I stuck with it through to the end…)
(I did not fail you this time…)
(But I'm so tired now…)
Suddenly, Yao Yuan could hear something cutting through the air. Unexpectedly, the thing slammed into him, almost taking his breath away. Before he could make sense of the situation, a pair of hands caught him from behind and his falling came to a sudden halt. Then he started rising in accelerating speed.
"Damn, I know you see yourself as Superman, but is that really necessary?!"
The voice behind him said sarcastically. Instantly, Yao Yuan registered that as Jay's voice. Saying that it was a shock for the military expert was an understatement. He never expected rescue, much less one from a professional conman. If he was being honest, he doubted even his Black Star comrades would have the guts to do what Jay just did.
He kept all of his shock to himself, but his impression of this supposed criminal had improved manifold. He was, after all, a realist, and they had about ten seconds to use the shuttle to return to the Hope. In other words, they were still in great danger, so it was not the place nor the time to be gushy with feelings.
Jay added earnestly, "I have to ask: why you had to say you have faith in me? Who would have faith in a professional liar?"
"Ah, that… No matter the reasons, you followed me onto the shuttle. That showed you have faith in me… I'm just doing the same, because is that not what partners and comrades do?" Yao Yuan replied nonchalantly, reflecting none of the dangers they were in.
Back in the shuttle, sweat was pouring down Zhang Heng's face as his fingers flew over the control panel's buttons. It was true that he had not personally driven a shuttle, but he had been the passenger of many such vehicles before. From his memories, he could piece together the method to operate the machine. In any case, there weren't any other choices. Somewhat miraculously, he managed to switch on what was left of the rocket engine and the shuttle slowly ground its way towards the Hope.
The Hope too was climbing in height, but because of its size, it climbed at a slower speed than the smaller shuttle. Nevertheless, at that moment, the Hope was already six hundred meters off the ground while the shuttle was still hovering at around three hundred meters from the ground…
"Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds…"
"Please move faster! I will not fail my father, who gave his life for mine, Yao Yuan, and the Black Stars who gave me ample opportunity. The respect that I've earned, the friends..." Zhang Heng started bawling like a child as he navigated the shuttle towards the Hope. "...and the life that I've made, the man that I've become… I will not give up now!"
"Four seconds, three seconds, two seconds…"
They were so close to the Hope that Zhang Heng could even spot the crowd standing by the ship's cabin entrance. They were waving their hands and yelling. Among them were a bunch of familiar faces: there were many of the Black Stars, Ying, Liu Bai, Ebon, Ning Xue, Mao Miao, Bo Li, and…
There had never been such a moment in Zhang Heng's life where the wish to live, to keep on adventuring with his friends, was so visceral…
"One second, zero…"
"It's time to let the Hope fly!"
In spite of the completed countdown, the shuttle's anti-gravitational system hadn't gone completely haywire. But it was obvious that it had met its limits, as smoke started spluttering out of its many corners. It was as if the shuttle was channeling Zhang Heng's desperate desire to live as it dragged its broken body towards the finish line…
An explosion at the rear end of the shuttle announced the death of the anti-gravitational system. As if planned, blow-back from the explosion gave the shuttle a final push, flinging it into the Hope's open hangar. It slid across the floor before coming to a stop by slamming into a metallic wall.
The impact flattened Zhang Heng onto the control panel, knocking him on the side of his head. Before he lost consciousness, he could vaguely hear the crowd cheering. It sounded so happy, so carefree…

The constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) is the largest of the Zodiac constellations, and the second largest overall after Hydra (The Water Snake). Its most appealing feature, however, is the sheer number of galaxies that lie within it. In this picture, among a crowd of face- and edge-on spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies, lies NGC 4866, a lenticular galaxy situated about 80 million light-years from Earth. This sharp image of NGC 4866 was captured by the Advanced Camera for Surveys, an instrument on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope

Published October 21, 2004
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) - Becoming informed on spending habits of the federal government or public policy issues of elected officials could be elusive for voters before casting a ballot Nov. 2.
Helping fill that need is the 2004 issue of the Political Party Platform Comparison resource, the latest element of the iVoteValues.com initiative. The eight-page resource, which includes a side-by-side, straight-up comparison of the two major parties' platforms on a wide range of topics, is a nonpartisan glimpse at what each party believes.
Published by the SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission in cooperation with Baptist Press, the supply of a similar product was exhausted after three printings in 2000.
The voter resource examines each party's views on some of America's most important public policy and ethical issues in order to help individuals determine which candidate best represents their values and convictions.
ERLC President Richard Land said in producing the document, which is also included in the most recent issue of the entity's For Faith & Family magazine, staffers took great care to ensure the content was balanced between the two parties, a difficult task considering that more than 120 pages of campaign platforms had to be winnowed down to fit in the publication.
In producing the platform comparison piece, the ERLC worked closely with attorneys familiar with the federal tax code to make the product suitable and safe for distribution by 501(c)(3) groups, such as churches, Land said. He made it clear the platform comparison shared little in common with voter guides done by other groups that simply examine voting records or candidates' statements on certain issues.
Issues such as gun ownership, school choice, stem cell research, education, federal spending, job creation and abortion are addressed in the resource, Land said.
While the product addresses the Democratic and Republican platforms, there are other parties voters can consider, Land added, noting the presence of the Constitution Party, the Reform Party and the Green Party as a few of the other political parties that field candidates for office.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) – Twitter is adding an extra security measure to users' accounts in an effort to prevent unauthorized logins.
Twitter said in a blog post Wednesday that users will be able to enroll in a login verification program. For those who sign up, Twitter will send a six-digit code using a text message each time they sign in to Twitter.com. Besides their username and password, users will have to enter the code to log in as well.
Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. already allow two-step verification as an option. Twitter has been criticized for not having this option, especially following recent breaches of Twitter accounts belonging to major news organizations and other companies.

Though in his every manifest form Ganapati is the Lord of auspices, Tryakshara Ganapati, perhaps with the sacred syllable AUM : the Supreme Being's graphic and phonetic manifestation, added to it, is more auspicious than any of his other forms and stands for greater good. With his auspiciousness Tryakshara Ganapati pervades the entire cosmos. Tryakshara Ganapati is a simpler form than many but its symbolic thrust is far wider. In this form one of the legs of Lord Ganesh is set on the earth while the other, stretches from left to right; and, his torso has an upward rise. Thus with his form extending into all four directions the auspicious Lord casts his spell from the earth to the sky and all over the earth from horizon to horizon. Tradition acclaims that the presence of Ganesh in his Tryakshara Ganapati manifestation bestows with endless blessings showering from all sides.
In this image all aspects of Tryakshara Ganapati have been further widened. Lord Ganesh is seated on a lotus which rises on a large stem from below symbolic of ocean. Thus, auspices that Lord Ganesh bestows reach farther below the earth. His figure is four-armed carrying in them the same attributes as texts prescribe : elephant goad, noose, broken tusk and mango glistening like gold, the trunk is sturdy and straight except its tip turning to right, not usual left, for giving it AUM like curve and to hold an auspicious attribute looking like a coconut or a mango, and the ears, with earlobes lying folded on his shoulders, are as large as texts prescribed. Besides the form of trunk, the sacred syllable AUM manifests in his body's other parts as also in the curves of foliage comprising Prabhavali.
Elevated over a beautifully conceived and carved lotus the figure of Tryakshara Ganapati reveals rare beauty of form. The figure of Lord Ganesh, from head to feet, has been elaborately ornamented. He is wearing an elegant crown inlaid with multi-coloured precious stones. Of all ornaments that he is wearing the double laced belly band and large size band with colourfully inlaid 'phalis' lying down to his thighs are rare and excellent. The sole costume that he is putting on is his 'antariya' with pleats defined by beaded laces. The awe-inspiring but auspicious Kirtti-mukha, besides multiplying auspiciousness, yields from its mouth-opening some beautifully colourful flowers not usually seen in sculptures of this sort. Interestingly, close to the feet of Lord Ganesh on the pedestal's top a mouse, too tiny to discern, has been carved flanking the deity image on either side. Strange to his iconography, just below these mice, the figures of two massive 'ganas' with robust moustaches and sturdy body-structures attend on him. Their figures have been carved in the bottom compartment of the Prabhavali.

Dr. Daljeet is the curator of the Miniature Painting Gallery, National Museum, New Delhi. They have both collaborated together on a number of books.

"The Navigator's Mutiny! For an Unwavering Dream!" is the 132nd episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[edit | edit source]
Luffy fishes a weird salesman out of the water and onto the Going Merry. He tries to sell his inventory to the Straw Hat Pirates, and Nami obtains a ton of "1000 year paper" from him to draw her sea maps. However, she is repeatedly interrupted by her crewmates' antics.
Long Summary[edit | edit source]
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper are fishing off the side of the boat while the rest of the crew relaxes. Chopper catches a large fish, and Usopp catches a small one. Sanji offers Nami a tropical juice that he says will make her skin smooth, and Luffy and the others ask for some, too, as they want to look cuter. Luffy keeps fishing and pulls out a large sea snail, and the crew discusses whether or not to cook it. Before they can, a hatch on the side of the snail's shell opens, and a man comes out. He introduces himself as Rice Rice, a traveling salesman from the Den-Den Company who was lost in a storm during a delivery. He thanks them by offering them free product catalogs. While he was explaining his trade to most of the crew, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper wandered into his Escar and began playing with his inventory. He interrupted them and took the Buru Buru Blade from Luffy, explaining its different features and apparent value. When he saw Chopper playing with the Ab-Ab Slider, he did the same, claiming that both were his company's "Number 1" product. He strapped Usopp into the Golden Fish, much to Usopp's dismay, to demonstrate its functions, and then offered the three products, Mero Mero Juice, a stack of encyclopedias, and binoculars for 23,800.
As the crew thumbed through the catalogs, Sanji noticed the company's knife collection. Rice Rice pitched him a super flexible knife from High Mountain and then offered him a dozen table knife set, scissors, a peeling knife, and an electric sharpener for 2,980. He tried to pitch his Silky Smooth Skin Soap to Robin, and she commented on his company's vast inventory. Luffy asked him if they sold live animals, and when Rice Rice told him they did not, the captain was disappointed.
Nami asked if he sold paper strong enough to resist weathering. Rice Rice revealed his Millenium Paper, explaining its qualities and possible uses. When Luffy asked if it could be used to make paper airplanes, Rice Rice annoyedly said that doing so would be a waste. Recognizing Nami's strong desire for the paper, he tried to cheat her and drive up the paper's price. He offered it to her for a "reduced rate" of 48 million, and she asked if he could take it down further. When he offered to sell it for 47.5 million, she countered offered with 2 million. Though Rice Rice dropped back to a 4.8 million offer, Sanji said they would pay for it. He tied up Luffy and proposed they turn him into the Marines, and Rice Rice realized that he was the notorious pirate Monkey D. Luffy. As he trembled in fear, he noticed the crew's jolly roger and fell to the ship's deck, nervously cowering. He quickly jumped to his feet and made an excuse that he had an appointment to get to, climbed into his Escar, and the two fled the ship in haste.
With Rice Rice gone, the crew notices that he left the inventory he was showing them, including the Millenium Paper Nami wanted. She takes it into her room, telling her crewmates to keep quiet and watch the clouds for any weather changes. She decides to start making her dream of drawing a map of the world a reality, settling down to draw Little Garden, Drum Island, and Alabasta. She recalls standing on a cliff in Cocoyasi Village with Bell-mère and Nojiko, asking her mom where the wind and sea come from. Bell-mère answers, laughing and patting her daughter's head. Nami then recalls when she returned to that spot after stealing books from a shop in her village, and her mom came up to bring her home for dinner. Nami asks her mom about what is past the sea, to which Bell-mère responds saying that she did not know past the Grand Line. She then told her mom her resolve to travel the world and make a map of everywhere she goes.
Outside, Sanji orders Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper to clean the ship's deck. Zoro argues that Robin should help instead of relaxing with her book, but Sanji defends her. Zoro and Sanji begin to fight over it, causing the ship's deck to shake. With the rumble, Nami's ink pen slides across the paper while she is mid-stroke. She comes out of her room and hits both of them over the head, telling everyone to be quiet. She returns to her drawing and starts a new draft.
Back outside, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper try cleaning the ship by riding on the Ab-Ab Slider with a mop. They use the Silky Smooth Skin Soap and make sudsy bubbles cover the entire deck. Nami comes out when she hears them laughing loudly and is surprised by the bubbles. Getting carried away, Luffy falls off the Ab-Ab Slider and overboard. He grabs the figurehead to prevent himself from falling into the sea, but he launches himself straight into Nami's room, knocking all of her map-making supplies to the floor in a crash. Furious, she demands they all stay quiet or else she would charge them all 100,000. Luffy tries to apologize, but she pushes them all out. Chopper is scared and saddened by Nami's frustration.
Nami returns to her map-making, and everyone except Chopper falls asleep on the ship's deck. He notices the clouds change and a tornado appears before them. Terrified, he tries to tell Nami but recalls her threat. Unsure what to do, he sits on the ship's deck in fear. Nami finishes her first map and exits her room to find Chopper crying about the tornado and not being able to tell her. She reassures him that everything will be alright and wakes up the crew. They all jump to raise the sails and steer the ship, except Robin, who continues to read in the rain. After they pass the storm, Nami tells everyone about her first map and reaffirms her dream to chart the whole sea. Robin finishes reading and closes her book, and the crew lowers to sails to continue onward.

Deadline: continuously open for submission
To submit your abstract (max. 300-500 words and 2 images up to 2MB), send directly to email@example.com.
Crossing Borders, Shifting Boundaries
Image, Body and Territory
In the first number of Sophia publication, we published three major essays that challenged our understanding and spread new light on several Walter Benjamin's concepts on photography and art, at the same time we were continuously defied to think about established categories namely those of photography as document, archive, critical witness, or even as critique in itself.
In the upcoming number, we would like to push further and go beyond these notions perceiving how they are critically inscribed in the works of art themselves. We are especially interested in unfolding the processes of thought present in photographic, filmic, or other works engaged with image and image making, that explore the notions of Body and Territory or use them as their own expressive matters.
Body and Territory frequently appear intertwined, sometimes even suggesting metaphorical uses: the city as a body (in the multiple acceptations: political, social, cultural, etc.), the body as an experimental territory (on debates around issues of identity and gender, works involving artistic and aesthetic experimentations, works for anthropological documentation and recording), the landscape in the absence of the body, as Cézanne named it, establishing a direct link between the painted landscape (the image) and our sensitive perception.
Our magazine is now accepting abstracts within these fundamental themes in order to unveil how an image, a photograph or a series, or a film critically and poetically build their own thought about the body and the territory, and, above all, how they contribute and appear engaged in architectural and/ or urban processes.

Most majors in Health and Exercise Science pursue careers as health professionals, including allopathic and osteopathic medicine, dentistry, optometry, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and pharmacy. While the majority of students majoring in HES pursue a profession as a physician, there are many other options available. Other interests are in public health, nutrition, exercise science, health research, corporate fitness, medical sales, and personal training. There are several websites that provide good information about various health careers:
Professional and graduate schools in these areas routinely require additional science courses (biology, chemistry, physics, psychology) outside the Health and Exercise Science Department. The specific requirements for these programs vary depending on the program and the school. Be sure to check with the schools to which you will be applying for specific prerequisites to their program. Additional information for pursuing postgraduate degrees can be found at the Prehealth Professions Program website http://college.wfu.edu/prehealth/.
It is important to speak with your HES major adviser or the Prehealth Professions adviser regarding course selection for your specific career of interest. These advisers can also be good sources for examining different careers in your area of interest. The Office of Personal and Career Development (OPCD) is also a good resource to explore career options (career.opcd.wfu.edu)
Students interested in nutrition as a career can research accredited programs at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website. https://www.

Microsoft is today bringing the Windows 10 Creators Update to the Windows Insider program's Release Preview ring for Mobile devices. The company was supposed to start rolling out the Creators Update to the public today, but it's instead of releasing it to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring for now which means if you are not part of the Windows Insider program, you will have to wait a bit longer for the Creators Update.
There's another catch with the Creators Update on Windows 10 Mobile devices: not all Windows Phone devices are getting the update. As Microsoft recently announced, only some Windows 10 Mobile devices will be getting the Creators Update — which are listed below:
- HP Elite x3
- Microsoft Lumia 550
- Microsoft Lumia 640/640XL
- Microsoft Lumia 650
- Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL
- Alcatel IDOL 4S
- Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL
- SoftBank 503LV
- VAIO Phone Biz
- MouseComputer MADOSMA Q601
- Trinity NuAns NEO
If you are a Windows Insider in the Release Preview ring and own any of the above devices, you should be able to get the update (build 15063.251) right now. And we'll make sure to let you know once the update is generally available.

Maybe too much time is being spent in the optimizer, maybe the indexes aren't really useful. That said, the more tables you put in a query, the less likely that Derby will pick the best plan. Part of the reason for this is that Derby is only capable of executing left-deep query plans. Sometimes the best plan is a bushy tree. You can simulate bushy query plans by pre-computing interior join results into temporary tables. It sounds like this approach does work for you but it would be tedious to apply this technique to a hundred queries. Sorry I can't say more, -Rick
