Gift Guide 2010

Simpsons World: The Ultimate Episode Guide: Seasons 1-20by Matt Groening
It Books, 1,200 pp., $150
Mad Men: The Illustrated Worldby Dyna Moe
Perigee Books, 96 pp., $15 (paper)
Stumped on what to get your pop culture/TV geek? Not to fret. Two new titles, released just in time for the holiday season, cover two bright points on the TV-fan spectrum.
Weighing nearly nine pounds, Simpsons World: The Ultimate Episode Guide: Seasons 1-20 is hardly a stocking stuffer, but once you wrestle the thing to a manageable position, what awaits inside is almost too good to be true: color-drenched, glossy, two-page spreads devoted to every episode of TV's longest running continuous series from its inception through its 20th season. Even a lapsed Simpsons fan will find something to savor in the mammoth collection. In fact, it's great fun to randomly open the book to discover all the goodies inside, which include all of Bart's chalkboard messages (which appear in the opening credits), the cheeky messages on the First Church of Springfield marquee, a tribute to infomercial and filmstrip star Troy McClure, a complete filmography of the "Itchy & Scratchy" cartoons, a collection of Krusty the Clown merchandise, and more than 400 character profiles. If none of that rings any bells for you, read this list to your Simpsons fan and watch them drool: "Oooh ... compendium."
Each spread efficiently includes the title of each episode with episode number, original airdate, a writer/director/producer credit, a list of guest voices, the episode synopsis, bits of trivia, and notable quotes. Images from all 400 episodes are splashed throughout in an eye-dazzling layout. The only thing missing from this book are scratch-and-sniff pages. (One complaint: The text is a bit small.) Fully indexed and playfully assembled, this is the book for the consummate Simpsons fan. It also makes a handsome step stool.
Mad Men fans will recognize the work of illustrator and designer Dyna Moe from the popular create your own Mad Men avatar application she designed last year (available at MadMenYourself.com). Embracing the style and sensibility of the 1960s, Moe's appealing drawings are now assembled in Mad Men: The Illustrated World, a large format book that not only celebrates the series but the era. Yet another in string of books focusing on the images and icons of the Sixties, Moe's rendition does so with such panache, you soon bypass the disappointment of not getting a more critical analysis of the series. And besides, it's a hoot. Divided into seven sections ("The Office," "The Home," "Fashion & Beauty"), each section bursts with Moe's lavish illustrations while offering playful bon mots, as in a list of useful Dos and Don'ts for "Well Meaning Squares":
"DO mention that you think Bob Dylan is the most exciting new artist you've seen in years. DON'T add, 'But I think he's Jewish.'"
New York fans will enjoy the short essays of Gotham City lore. A brief biography of Gov. Nelson "Rocky" Rockefeller is both informative and deliciously gossipy, as are short pieces about the razing of onetime architectural wonder Penn Station, and a first-person essay on the timelessness of a midcentury modern sofa. The book would not be complete without a list of cocktail recipes, of course. Additional touches include "Cuban Missile Crisis! The Goofy Game of Nuclear Brinkmanship," and a six-page paper doll and clothing section (accordion included) for Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) as costumed by Janie Bryant. Playful and slightly irreverent, this official companion to the series would be welcomed by anybody mad about Mad Men.

At the 2010 Conference of the Uniting Church in Australia's Christian Unity Working Group, the Guest Preacher was Revd Professor Emeritus Robert Gribben. He is Chair of the Standing Committee on Ecumenics and Dialogues of the World Methodist Council, Co-Chair of the Anglican-Methodist International Conference for Unity in Mission and a member of the Global Christian Forum Committee. The Christian Unity Working Group's Conference was held shortly after the caonnisation of Saint Mary Mackillop. Here, Robert offers reflections on the ecumenical implications of that event and on a Protestant perspective on Saints in the Church. Download file
Living Church in Rural Queensland
" In recent years the Church world-wide has seen a growth in rural networking and the expression of an authentic rural voice. This voice can be heard in rural Queensland, and the faithful ecumenical response of the churches testifies to the movement of the Holy Spirit among them.1 in 2009 affirm the 1996 declaration, "Being Church in Rural Queensland" (BCIRQ) state. In the light of our experience we believe it is time to build on this foundation, incorporating structures and processes that will continue to promote the BCIRQ vision and address ecumenically the changing spiritual and pastoral needs of rural communities in Queensland.
We affirm our faith in God as Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This faith allows us to celebrate our unity while recognising our diversity. In our diversity we are united by baptism. This baptism incorporates us into the one Body of Christ. Christ calls and empowers us to continue his mission in the world. Our calling is to proclaim Jesus as Lord and Saviour in word and action, in order that the Kingdom of God may be manifest
Across Queensland we celebrate the living expressions of Church that have been empoweredby the priorities articulated in the original 1996 document. These priorities have inspired the writing of inter-church covenants and brought the people of God together in both word and action." Read more

What defines another culture? These are the things I take notice of when I'm in a new country:
People – What they wear, what they believe in, who they live with, their sense of humour, how they socialise, how they speak, how they tell stories and what jokes they enjoy. What is the attitude to beauty and hygiene? What is the level of patriotism? Are the people ethnocentric?
Infrastructure – What is the public transport system like? What kind of architecture fills the city? What are the hospitals and other facilities at their disposal like? How is the city spread out?
Sport – What do the locals most enjoy watching and playing?
Law & politics – Are the locals happy? What do they get in return for their taxes? How do they feel toward their police force and country leaders?
Food, wine and other consumables – What do people eat, drink and cook? What products are on the supermarket shelves? What is the attitude to alcohol?
Festivals and art – What do they celebrate and what sort of art and films are produced?
There are so many interesting components to experience when immersing oneself in a different culture, and no question about it, music is my favourite. (Admittedly, food follows at a close second – who am I fooling).
Discovering the musical tastes and abilities of people from other countries is exciting and enlightening. What sounds bring them together? Do they the sing along over a pint (Ireland, Scotland, etc) or do they prefer moving their bodies to the beat? Do they continue regular use of traditional instruments (like much of Asia) or has electronica taken over? Why do some songs make it to the Top 40 in some countries and never see the light of day in others?
Perhaps the topic produces more questions than answers but some things are for certain – music breaks the ice, ignores language barriers and makes people happy. And if you're lucky, you end up with a Panamanian taxi driver's awesome dub Master Mix or an Armenian immigrant's self-titled CD to add to the collection.

What is an essay?
An essay is a short literary composition on some topic with analytical or speculative discussion involved. An essay means an attempt, a try and normally has an outline, an introduction paragraph, body paragraphs and a conclusion. It may be a critical study, an editorial, a feature story. It includes in-text citations, transition words, facts, statistics, if that is a research paper, strong persuasive arguments with relevant examples in order if not to convince, then at least to influence on readers minds, to make them think in a new way.
There are different types of an essay. It may be argumentative and persuasive as has already been mentioned; an essay may be descriptive, analytical, definition essay, expository, analysis, narrative, synthesis, personal, reflective, process, informative, compare and contrast essay. Let us have a closer look at each, therefore:
- Argumentative essay is about not sharing information only but about providing with a strong argument(-s) with relevant examples;
- Persuasive essay is about convincing the readers in the idea, which comes across the essay as its thesis statement;
- Descriptive essay is about a description of somebody or something you picked as a topic of your essay. Make sure your description is tastefully done, with colorful words being used to make it sound interesting;
- Analytical essay is about writing something based on fact. It involves analysis with analytical thinking;
- Definition essay is about giving a get-able definition of something which is most likely new to the reader with an example for easier understanding;
- Expository essay is about investigating of an idea, its explanation and presenting an argument;
- Narrative essay is about telling a story and the way it is told should be entertaining enough to keep the fire of interest within your reader going;
- Synthesis essay is about a good selection of the information, combination it and figuring out how separate parts work after possible division and combination;
- Personal or reader-friendly essay is about sharing your personal life experience through writing;
- Reflective essay is about capturing the image of an author`s mind. It is as if to take a "selfie" photo but in words;
- Process essay is about providing an instruction with how something work or how to actually do something, for example a recipe of a dish;
- Informative essay is actually any kind of an essay, the purpose of which is to inform;
- Compare and contrast essay is about something or somebody who have differences along with similarities so you could compare and contrast. Therefore, two objects the least are in the center of discussion.
There are admission-, scholarship-, response-, research-, deductive-, critical-, classification-, cause and effect types of an essay among others.
- Admission (application) essay or personal statement is a paper, which is written by an applicant applying for graduate school, college or university.
- Scholarship essay is written when applying for a scholarship. It is a part of application. It represents a student.
- Response essay is a reaction on something you have read. At first, there is a task. One should read it carefully and write what he or she feels about it.
- Research essay is a paper, which is based on other person`s work. A research is made and one`s thoughts are written basing on the researched work.
- Deductive essay is clearly based on a principle of deduction, leading to Sherlock Holmes method, a statement of a fact, which is known or an assumption, proceeding from it to certain observations to come up with a conclusion eventually.
- Critical essay is a critique paper of some other work. Usually a work related to art. It is more than just summarizing though but an objective analysis including positive and negative sides of the work.
- Classification essay is about the object of your paper to be classified and given a thoughtful characteristic of.
- Cause and effect essay is about a situation or event and its causes along with effects these causes make.
Writing an essay is about flight of one`s imagination. It surely matter what type of an essay one is about to write. Also, it matters whether you were assigned on some particular topic to write about. In case you were not, this is where your imagination begins its journey. It may be a hero essay based on a description of one`s hero or heroine, or happiness essay giving a definition of happiness in one`s understanding and view; a success essay might cover its causes and effects or American dream essay may be sharing of a personal experience. Choose the topic wisely. One needs to know what he/she is going to write about and it should be interesting for an author in the first place. Only then, it will be interesting for readers as well.

Khan's Bargain Ltd. is my favourite shop in Peckham. It's hard to know where to start with telling you about it but I think Khan puts it rather nicely with the hilarious tag line 'walk in and see the variety'. This is not a joke. There's a lot of stuff in that shop, much of it in random order and some of it, well…put it this way, I didn't even have the nerve to set foot in the back aisles until my fourth or fifth visit.
The front of shop is stacked pretty much like any on Rye Lane; you'll find the usual out of season pumpkin and tomatoes, plenty of sugar cane and of course yams, yams and more yams. What Khan's does best though is monstrous bunches of herbs; mild Turkish peppers; melons; chillies; citrus fruits; curry leaves and those little cucumbers which are great for making Sichuan cucumber salads and the Ottolenghi recipe at the end of this post. You'll also find packages of garlic, onions and ginger for 50p a pop. A bargain even if the onions do always contain, without fail, one rotten specimen.
Once you've selected your vegetables, I do think this is the best vantage point for appreciating what is undoubtedly the largest amount of strip lighting I've seen in one room outside of a Dan Flavin exhibition. Not quite the same skilled arrangement but much more on the comedy value side of things. The photo above shows the tip of the iceberg.
Once inside you'll find that if Khan's sells something, you can bet your bitter melon they sell a fair few different types of it and this is what makes me giggle. Pickles for example, take up an entire side of one aisle, including part of the floor. As a pickle enthusiast, I'm in heaven. Pickled garlic, cucumbers, limes, mushrooms and even tomatoes come in giant-friendly tubs. The garlic I see myself eating; the unidentifiable rainbow chippings described as 'classic vegetable medley' not so much.
The beany/grainy/flour section is nothing less than overwhelming. Lentils, pulses and grains in their whole and pounded form stacked before you like some kind of dusty desert coloured monster from The Mummy. Cow peas; moth beans; gungo peas; soya beans; red mullet beans; Nigerian brown beans; hominy grits; yam flour; bean flour and ground rice, which is even available in 10kg bags.
The spice selection (find them in the 'luggage and pet food aisle') has never let me down. Dried limes, Irish moss, dried round chillies and sugar coated fennel seeds. Need a 1.5kg bag of cassia bark? Khan's have got one, I've seen it.
I think you're starting to get the idea – Khan's takes a comprehensive approach to stocking an item. One type of Bombay Mix is enough? Never – let's have ten. One brand of palm oil? One blend of jerk seasoning? One type of er, plastic animal? No, no, no.
But I'm touching on the brilliant madness of the place before I've finished telling you about the stuff you might actually want to buy. There's a rather useful cookery section where I recently bought a tava, which turned out some decent chapattis and will be turning out some parathas later this week. Four quid – bargain. There's a dried fruit and nut section which I frequent (along with Persepolis) to buy those chewy little Iranian dried figs that are so addictive, plus dried coconut halves and date syrup. From the canned section I buy fairly normal stuff like tahini and coconut milk but always flirt with the idea of the hugely tempting 'strained foul' which I've been informed by many on Twitter is strained broad beans and a popular Middle Eastern breakfast dish. I'm not sure this canned version is a good place to start…although at 69p – bargain.
The further you go towards the back of the shop, the further things descend into chaos. The 'party aisle' for example, is filled with socks. Random strings of tinsel dangle bunches of fake flowers from the ceiling; a corner section is given over to rugs; stock is strewn all over the floor as they constantly rearrange and refill.
For a while, I did wonder if venturing 'out back' would lead me to a gateway into some sort of Peckham Narnia; a strange, magical land where Khan is King and drives his chariot of variety down a great river of yams. I was rather disappointed to find just a selection (a large one, naturally) of brushes, plastic laundry baskets and a tower of Super Malt, which appears to be holding up part of the ceiling.
I love Khan's for many reasons; one is that I can usually track down hard to find ingredients – particularly pulses and spices – another is that everything is really cheap. The food police will be onto me soon I expect; most of the produce has air miles – I know this – but at least I'm supporting a local business.
What I really love about the place though is the way it brings a smile to my face so often. It has a ramshackle charm and a strange serenity about it, which I suspect comes from a kind of strip-light induced stupor. From the bustling front claiming its territory on Rye Lane to the shambles out back it is always, to me at least (and perhaps only to me), fascinating and utterly charming.
Ottolenghi's Cucumber and Poppy Seed Salad (from 'Ottolenghi, The Cookbook')
6 small, Middle Eastern cucumbers (about 500g)
2 mild red chillies, thinly sliced
60ml white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons roughly chopped coriander
125ml sunflower oil
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons caster sugar
salt and pepper
Trim the ends off the cucumbers and slice them at an angle into 1cm thick pieces that are 3-4 cms long. Then you just mix everything together, massaging the flavours into the cukes. Adjust the amounts of sugar and salt to your taste. Ottolenghi says this should be sharp and sweet, "almost like a pickle."

Hey there!
Thanks for popping over to meet me!
I fell in love with art as a young child. And each day of my life I've seen God's beautiful creation as inspiration to create more beauty around me.
I was born into an artistic and musical family. Holidays and birthdays were magical celebrations, rich with creativity and love. Disney movies at the local drive-in, the bright blue Bible Story books, and Saturday morning cartoons contributed to my passion for telling a story through art.
I've been a student to many teachers in painting, drawing, quilting, animation and film, refining my artistic skillset and creating in new ways with each new season of life. I'm classically trained in the fine arts and hold a Bachelor's degree in Animation/Cinema Television.
Even with all of this experience and passion, I still find it challenging to share my art fearlessly. It feels risky to share something so personal and defining. Years ago, I started blogging to move past that fear and encourage others to do the same. Now I teach animation to youth, speaking life into the next generation of artists. And as I preach to myself, I'm learning better that gifts are given in order to be shared with others.
Most of the clients I work with are creative too, but have trouble sharing it with the world. They want someone invested in their project and brand, helping bring ideas to life that market and sell their product. This is my favorite place to be - wedged right in between a great concept and a beautiful product. This little gap was made for my work. And I'm so thankful I get to fill it.

Skip to 0 minutes and 13 seconds Right. Well, this sample came from a patient who had a secondary tumour deposit in her liver. The primary tumour was located in the colon. And resecting secondary deposits in the liver is now recognised to be an effective treatment for some people who have metastatic cancer from the colon.
Skip to 0 minutes and 48 seconds Right. So when we receive the specimen, it's a large specimen that comes down to our department in a bucket with formalin fixative.
Skip to 0 minutes and 59 seconds We examine the specimen grossly, identify areas of interest, and then sample small pieces, which are then processed through various stages into paraffin wax blocks. And from those paraffin wax blocks, thin sections about five micrometres thick are cut and stained using various methods depending on what feature we would like to demonstrate.
Skip to 1 minute and 34 seconds OK. So the image you can see here is projected from my microscope. And it corresponds roughly to a single normal liver lobule. So the entire field here is roughly in real life about one millimetre across. The majority of what you can see here– these pink cells– are hepatocytes, which form the bulk of the normal liver. But there are one or two other important landmarks to point out. At the bottom right, we have a portal tract.
Skip to 2 minutes and 17 seconds This begins in the centre of the liver in the area known as the hilum, and then forms smaller and smaller branches throughout the rest of the substance of the liver. And here we have a small portal tract which carries three main structures. The first are branches of the bile duct– shown here and here– lined by a single layer of epithelial cells, biliary epithelial cells. And these carry bile, formed in hepatocytes, to the hilum of the liver, then into the common bile duct, which drains into the duodenum. The second structure to point out– here and here– is a small branch of the hepatic artery, which carries oxygenated blood to the liver.
Skip to 3 minutes and 15 seconds And the third structure, which is bigger than the artery but has a thinner wall, is a branch of the portal vein. The red material in the lumen here represents red blood cells. And the portal vein carries blood drained from the gut and other organs that are drained by the portal venous system.
Skip to 3 minutes and 39 seconds The other landmark to point out– as part of the normal liver microanatomy, or lobule– is the small branch here of the hepatic vein. And essentially, the blood from the hepatic artery and the portal vein flows in between liver cells in tiny channels known as sinusoids– which you can barely see here. There's occasional slit-like spaces here, which are the sinusoids, before moving into the hepatic vein. And then this drains into larger and larger branches of the hepatic vein, eventually into the vena cava and then into the right side of the heart.
Skip to 4 minutes and 24 seconds Now I did say that this woman was not known to have any preexisting liver disease. And in fact, most of the hepatocytes you can see here are normal. However, some of the hepatocytes have got holes in them, like this one here or this one here or down here. These holes actually in life were occupied by lipid droplets which dissolved during our processing procedure. And this is known as fatty change. Fatty change is extremely common in Western communities. The two main causes being excess alcohol consumption, but increasingly the commonest cause now are complications related to the metabolic syndrome characterised by obesity, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and various other features. And this woman was known to be overweight.
Skip to 5 minutes and 30 seconds And this is almost certainly the cause of the fatty change we're seeing here.
Skip to 5 minutes and 42 seconds Yes, certainly. So this sample came from a man who was known to have longstanding liver disease. He suffered from a condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis, which is a reasonably common cause of chronic liver disease in the United Kingdom. It's frequently associated with another condition known as ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammatory condition affecting the colon. In the case of this man, attempts to manage the condition using medical treatment eventually proved to be unsuccessful. And he developed end-stage liver disease for which the only currently effective treatment is liver transplantation.
Skip to 6 minutes and 36 seconds So this differs from the previous case in two ways. The first thing I should point out is that the method we have used to stain this particular section is different to the conventional hematoxylin and eosin stain. In this case, the section has been stained with a method known as hematoxylin Van Gieson. And using this method, we are able to highlight collagen fibres which stain red. Now in the normal liver, these red collagen fibres are confined to portal tracts, which as I explained in the previous case, contain branches of the bile duct, the hepatic artery, and portal vein. And they're also present in the walls of the hepatic veins, which drain blood.
Skip to 7 minutes and 29 seconds But in this particular liver, you can see that there's a lot more red collagen than there should be. And in fact, what's happened is that this red collagen has replaced normal hepatocytes. And what we're left with are small nodules– these green areas of surviving hepatocytes– many of which are completely surrounded by bands of fibrous tissue.
The liver under the microscope
Your task: Watch this video in which Professor Stefan Hubscher, a liver Pathologist in Birmingham, examines a sample of liver under the microscope and describes the micro-anatomy of both a healthy and an unhealthy liver. The cells he mentions will feature in much of the material we will cover in the remainder of the course. You might find that the pointer he uses is quite tricky to see on the video so we have labelled the images in the transcript file to help you identify the structures he describes.

To the ends of the earthLester sat in the office, trying hard to remain polite as the Minister lectured him.
"We simply cannot allow these expeditions to continue."
"And what would you have me do?" he asked. "Leave three of my team trapped goodness' knows where? I won't just leave them there to die."
The Minister sighed, annoyed. "There's no need to be so dramatic."
"I believe there is. I will continue to run the ARC as I see fit and, if that means going to the ends of the earth to find my people, I shall," Lester said, standing to leave. "Good day, Minister."

The legendary Loch Ness Monster, shown in the above picture, is just one example. One early sighting was by Mr and Mrs Spicer on 22nd July, 1933. They were travelling to London from a holiday, driving along the road beside the loch at 4pm when they saw something ahead. Mr Spicer described events in the Inverness Courier newspaper.
"I saw the nearest approach to a dragon or pre-historic animal that I have ever seen in my life. It crossed my road about fifty yards ahead and appeared to be carrying a small lamb or animal of some kind. It seemed to have a long neck which moved up and down, and the body was fairly big, with a high back. It is difficult to give you a better description, as it moved so swiftly, and the whole thing was so sudden. There is no doubt it exists."
'Nessie' spotters often describe two humps, a tail, and a snakelike head. Theories abound as to the creature's identity – but many researchers favour the plesiosaur theory. These creatures have been extinct for 70 million years, but the Loch may have been connected to the sea as ice melted at the end of the last ice age. When the waters receded again, some plesiosaurs may not have got back to the sea.
While 'Nessie' is well documented, she is hardly alone. The Kraken was said to be more than a mile long and the most terrifying beast in the ocean. Stories describe these beasts as having giant tentacles that enveloped and capsized ships, after which the Kraken was said to eat or drown the unlucky crewmen.
In 1925, two miles north of Santa Cruz in the USA, a creature washed ashore unlike any seen before. It was named the "Moore's Beach Monster" in honour of discoverer Charles Moore, and described as stinky, with elephant-like legs, a whale-like tale and a head like a duck.
Stronsay, one of Scotland's Orkney Islands, was the place, in early October 1808, where Farmer George Sherar found a huge but unknown creature washed ashore, just below the high tide mark. He measured it at 55 feet long, with a 15 ft neck, a small head, and a long mane running along the length of its body. It had three pairs of legs, each foot with five or six toes. He salvaged some vertebrae and the skull, and the creature became known as the Stronsay beast.
Eminent naturalist Sir Everard Home was an expert on the basking shark, the world's second largest shark species. When he compared the vertebrae of the unknown beast with those of the basking shark, they matched very closely. The largest basking shark ever caught was in 1851 in Canada's Bay of Fundy. At 40 ft 3 in, though, it was still 15 ft shorter than the Stronsay beast.
So was the 55-ft monster really a basking shark, or could it have belonged to a still-unknown, giant relative? Since one of the world's largest known sharks, the megamouth Megachasma pelagios, remained wholly unknown until November 15 1976, the prospect of as yet undiscovered giants in the oceans is very real.
Margate, Natal, in South Africa was the scene of another weird carcass washing up on the evening of November 1, 1922. Measuring 47 ft, it was covered in 8-inch-long snow white fur, and had a 10 ft tail. Instead of a head, it had a long appendage, like a trunk, roughly 5 ft long. That very morning, this selfsame beast was witnessed alive by observers, who watched it fighting with two whales out at sea.
One witness, Hugh Ballance, told the press that he was amazed to see what appeared to be a "polar bear" of mammoth proportions, rearing fully 20 feet from the water and striking the whales with what looked like a tail. After three hours, the strange creature was killed, and its body floated in on the tide.
There are myriad tales of gigantic octopus and squid that wrecked shipping, and many more myths of creatures like the Leviathan. Huge fish, enormous crocodiles and gigantic sea serpents all have their places in the history and story books, but actual physical sightings of such creatures are as rare as hen's teeth.
There are many more such reports available, but little hard evidence to back them up. The oceans are a vast and, in truth, little known territory, with at least 90% still uncharted and unexplored. Anyone who has watched movies like The Abyss must surely wonder what might really be lurking 20,000 feet down.
Are these magical creatures fact or fallacy? Nobody knows for sure, which is why they retain that air of mystery and enchantment. The chances that we might never know for certain make that very uncertainty all the more delicious, don't you agree?

'The Killing': Linden lands in the crazy house
If you believe Holder's theory in Sunday's episode, "72 Hours," then you believe Rosie Larsen's murder goes straight to City Hall.
If not, we've got a lot of twists and turns to get through before the season closes out, so let's begin with Linden, who woke up in a psych acute ward. Our favorite case-obsessed detective had earned another trip to the cuckoo's nest, and was placed under 72-hour suicide watch.
Holder put up a fight in the lobby, and Lt. Carlson told him Chief Jackson said she was suicidal when they found her snooping in the hotel.
But Holder reminded him of what the tribe is capable of doing, a la his beating, and also pointed out to the Lt. that the Larsen evidence never made it to the County office. Bam!
At the Larsens, Stan and Aunt Terry were making amends when Terry asked, "What happens if the cops never find the guy?"
Great question, Terry - I'll answer that. If that happened, then the writers and creators of the show would get a lot of hate mail and AMC would want to forget "The Killing" was ever on their schedule. We've been told there won't be a runaround like season 1, so let's just ignore Terry's question for now.
And in one of the most heart-breaking scenes ever, Stan called Rosie's phone and left a parting message on her voicemail. He also apologized for never telling her he wasn't her real father. Can we get Mr. Sexton an Emmy nod already?
While on the way back from Regi's, Holder spotted the waterfront property project with a big Mayor Adams sign and Michael Ames listed as the project manager. He found out that there was a break-in at the site the night Rosie died but Ames didn't press charges.
When it was time for Linden's first interview with Dr. Kerry, the topic was Linden's last case, and the story behind the drawing she found on her fridge. Seeing Linden on the other side of interrogation was pretty awesome, and we learned that the picture's from a young boy who was found in a house with his murdered mother.
Sticking to the case, Holder talked to the cop who arrested the guy for breaking into waterfront property. The officer told Holder he was chewed out by Michael Ames, and that guy he arrested was Joseph Nowak, one of Janek Kavarsky's goons.
Holder paid Linden a visit and updated her on his findings. They realized they're getting closer to solving the case, and needed to find the key card from City Hall to fill in a huge gap.
From there, Holder confronted Nowak, who of course ran but was later subdued with a nice trip move. Holder then popped up in the back of Lt. Carlson's' car to give him the break down: After this Janek goon was arrested for breaking into Mayor Adams waterfront project site, Ames canceled a trip and went to the casino.
Janek's boy was told to break in and bury some Indian bones. He was supposed to be protected but the arresting precinct didn't get that memo.
Holder concluded the plan went wrong with the arrest and the players met at the casino to discuss it, with Rosie paying the ultimate price for catching wind of the conversation. Holder added that both Adams and Ames would sabotage their own project for a bigger pay day they knew was coming.
With Dr. Kerry, Linden was back to chatting about Rosie but her thoughts might have clues. She questioned why the killer would beat her and hunt her down with such determination and then leave her to die without being there to see it - a great question I've been asking over and over. I honestly believe the person who beat and tied Rosie isn't the person who finally put her in the trunk.
We also learned that Linden's mom abandoned her at age 5, but before Dr. Kerry could get more information, a nurse walked in and announced that Linden has been released thanks to Rick Felder. Rick told Holder he'd bail Linden out, but wasn't interested in being in her life beyond that.
In our closing montage, we saw the hotel's tenth floor, where Chief Jackson told someone on the phone that things will be fine, and the crews cleaning the area won't find anything, but the bloodied City Hall card is still hidden in the debris unnoticed.
Over at the Richmond campaign, Jamie confronted Richmond with the cufflink he found belonging to Mayor Adams, and noted that Gwen was the last one to close up.
When Richmond asked her about it, Gwen told him about her first kiss with Adams at 14, and said that her plan was to blackmail him.
She also showed Richmond a video of him playing basketball with the kids in the community, and it's apparently a viral hit. Gwen claimed someone captured the video on a phone, even though it looked like an actual video camera, but whatever.
Later, Gwen met up with a man she handed an envelope to and thanked for the Richmond basketball video. This sneaky situation reminds me too much of the Holder scene at the end of last season to take it seriously, but with three episodes left this could have big implications.
What'd you think of this episode? Are the clues lining up with your own theory?

Last week I counted down my favorite songs that Bruce re-did acoustically. This week I will be doing the exact opposite and counting down my favorite songs that Bruce did originally did acoustically but now plays a full electic version with the E Street Band.
5. State Trooper-
This particular version is recorded with the Arcade Fire, for all you hipsters out there. Originally on the Nebraska album, I first noticed this song on the season finale of the first season, of the HBO hit show "The Sopranos". I like this song, don't love it, but it's definitely worth a listen The song doesn't change much too much with the E Street Band, just adds a drum beat and an electric guitar with a pretty cool slide effect. That isn't the case with the other songs on the list. I definitely prefer the original version, the single voice and acoustic guitar definitely give the song a more frantic feeling when it gets to the chorus of "Mr. State Trooper, please don't stop me." That is definitely lost with the E Street version, and is probably why Bruce doesn't play it all that often.
4. Reason to Believe-
Oh hell yeah! This blues-rock version rocks just kicks all kind of ass! Seriously this song was the highlight of the night when I saw Bruce on March 7th, 2008 at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY. From the awesome harmonica intro, the pounding drums, to the Doors-esque guitar work this song. Another Nebraska song, Bruce played this pretty regularly in the 80's(albeit in a much tamer version, see the Live 1975-1985 box set for an example) and on his solo tours. This version of the song was played pretty regularly on the first leg of the Magic Tour, and then got inexplicably cut, and rarely played since. That's a shame, and something I would love to see changed on this tour.
3. The Ghost of Tom Joad-
This song, minus Tom Morello's incredibly masterful solo, is very similar to the original acoustic version heard on the album of the same name. It's almost as if Bruce took the song, turned it up to 11, and it has definitely works as Bruce has played this song with a decent amount of regularity on every tour since it's release. Named after the main character from John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes Of Wrath", the song's lyrics tackle injustice in society. The song was made popular when it was covered by the band Rage Against the Machine (Hence Morello appearing with band on that night, and on multiple other occasions). I personally can't stand the Rage version, but if it made more people seek out the original then I'm all for it. As excellent as the original version is, I think I prefer the live version as Bruce sounds downright pissed off in it. And the video I included, taken from the 25th anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert at Madison Square Garden, just might be Bruce's best performance of the song.
2. Youngstown-
Now this is a song where I prefer the changed version as opposed to the original. Bruce's 3 folk albums (Nebraska, Ghost of Tom Joad, and Devils & Dust) all have a common theme of struggling working class, even more so than the other albums. "Youngstown" is a song that fits in perfect of on Tom Joad, and does an excellent job of showing the struggles of what happens to factory towns when the factory goes under. But instead of being a song of loss and lament, like on the album, the song turns into a song of bitterness and anger, when performed live with The E Street Band. I love that Bruce still performs the song in this manner to this day. And check out Nils Lofgren's CRAZY solo at the end. If that doesn't get you fired up, something's wrong
1. Atlantic City-
As with most of the lists I do, #1 shouldn't come as a shock. There's not much to say about it, just listen for yourself. It's one of Bruce's best songs, no matter which version you listen to. Even the completely different version he did with Seeger Sessions Band, is pretty great too. The fact that Bruce plays this song so regularly to this day, in any version, is a testament to what a great song it is. There's one story that exemplifies what an incredible song "Atlantic City" is and what emotions it can bring out in you. One time when fellow-blogger Rory and were driving down to Atlantic City, NJ we were listening to Bruce the whole way down. When we hit that last mile of the Atlantic City Expressway, we played the E Street version of "Atlantic City". We couldn't help but get excited especially when we heard the song kick in with the full band, with the smell of the ocean air, and the bright lights of the casinos. We were high-fiving each other and singing along in anticipation of a great night in AC. The next day, on the drive home, we played the depressing original acoustic version to commiserate with our hungover, poorer selves as opposed to the night before. Now that's a powerful song.

And start your journey with Travelocity, exactly where you can find the very best deals on airfares and conveniently program for that international trip.
This was for 4 nights in a Hotel and Round trip airfareWhen I asked other individuals on the flight what they paid their jaws dropped as some said $500-$700 for just a plane ticket round trip. Obtaining a common flight route with wonderful deals is just a click away with Travelocity. A spot exactly where last minute marriages, fine dining, premiere comedy shows, and some of the world's most luxurious casinos can be identified, the old adage what takes place in Vegas stays in Vegas" is certainly full of truth.

Within this period I had time to study books, and manuals on what to see or where to go in Vegas.

Hello all!
I was sleeved 8/16/19 and have lost 36 lbs since surgery. Im definitely a slow loser and the holidays havent helped the scales. Glad to be back and looking forward to the support this group offers.
Hi there,
Slow and steady wins the race, and it sounds like you are doing great!
I lost most of my weight quickly, like in the first 3-6 months. I haven't really lost any weight since. My weight fluctuates up and down about 5 pounds, but I also haven't regained, which is amazing. I still struggle to choose the correct foods, but I try to do better.
Keep up the good work!

U.N. human rights experts say a legislative bill in Britain aimed at increasing powers of authorities to monitor suspects could threaten freedom of expression and association.
Three United Nations experts say the Investigatory Powers Bill would give British officials too much authority to carry out surveillance and store information on people, without enough oversight and transparency.
The office of the U.N. human rights chief said Monday the experts sent a six-page letter to a British parliamentary panel insisting that the measure could "ultimately stifle fundamental freedoms" such as by preventing individuals from ever knowing that they are under surveillance.
Civil liberties groups and Internet companies have also expressed alarm at the bill that would make telecommunications firms help spies hack into computers and phones, and store customers' Web-surfing histories.

Megan Mullally Talks 'Interest' in 'Will & Grace' Revival, Reveals Show's Most 'Nervous' Guest Stars
Megan Mullally is on board for a Will & Grace revival, but she does have some demands.
On Thursday's Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asks the 58-year-old actress what it would take for herself and her co-stars, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack and Sean Hayes, to agree to star in a revamp of the beloved series.
"I would assume they'd have to back up three dump trucks worth of money to get you guys to do it," Cohen tells Mullally. "Am I correct in that, or has enough time passed that you're like, 'It was so fun, we'd do it for one dump truck of money?'"
EXCLUSIVE: Hook Turns 25! The Lost Boys Remember Robin Williams on the Second Anniversary of His Death
"Well, you know, like, three [dump trucks worth of money] is good," Mullally quips.
As for whether there have been "official talks" about bringing back Will & Grace, the actress coyly responds, "Well, there is some interest and people have been talking, there's some rumors. From what I can tell, a lot of people really want the show to come back so we'll see what happens."
She jokingly adds that if the series did come back that "it'd probably be a 12-part miniseries with each installment being four hours long."

In September, Mullally and her co-stars reprised their sitcom roles for a 10-minute video that encouraged Americans to vote in the 2016 presidential election. "It was kinda like we had just been away for the weekend. The best part was that it was all the same people," she says of the reunion. "Not just the cast, Jim Burrows the director, the costume designer, the lighting designer, the set designer, the writers, everybody the same, the camera operators..."
Mullally also candidly talks about the "worst behavior" she witnessed when guest stars would come on Will & Grace. "People were pretty nice but I don't know about bad behavior," she explains. "But some people got so nervous that there was fainting, throwing up and, you know, just general bodily shut down."

She adds, "Rosanna Arquette threw up. Rosie O'Donnell fainted."

Halloween 2011, Santa Cruz local multi-media digital artist, musician, techno DJ/producer, experimental game developer, Chris Osborn was the guest for the Gamers on Game radio show.
Chris came into the KZSC station to talk about his recent presentation on the History of Games in Santa Cruz that he produced for the monthly E-Games Gathering at NextSpace and his new company and adventure, TRΛCER Vision and TRΛCER Games, that he created this past February 2011.
TRΛCER is the alias of Chris Osborn. His work is equally suited for the dancefloor, headphones, or interactive experiences. TRΛCER echoes lo-fi cyberpunk fantasies and jacking paranoid surrealism. He is available to be booked for DJ gigs as well as contracted for programming on creative art, music, and game projects.
Exploring the intersections of psychedelic dubstep, dark techno, and experimental video games, TRΛCER draws inspiration from Richie Hawtin, Trentemøller, Deadbeat, Scuba/SCB, Kryptic Minds, Burial, and Mark Essen. This project is the evolution of Chris' previous work as the programmer for Gaijin Games' critically-acclaimed synesthetic music game series BIT.TRIP (Wii, PC/Mac, iOS).
Chris has over 10 years experience DJing around the SF Bay Area and Philadelphia plus countless years spent coding games for various companies. Currently, he is working on a mixtape series called echo.x as well as several unannounced art/game projects.

The sunburn is at the peeling stage, so it doesn't hurt much at all now... IT ITCHES! But it looks like it won't be too bad.
I looked in the mailbox that was sitting on the front steps of the house today, just out of curiosity, and it was packed with old mail. Water logged, moldy, old mail. Well, and a couple of marketing letters from oil companies to 'welcome' me to the neighborhood. Which is doubly amusing, since I don't have oil heat. I need to get a good mailbox and put it up, probably Friday. I may start moving boxes this weekend - books and stuff I don't see getting stolen. After the locksmith is there Monday I'll feel better about moving more. And the DSL should be on Monday I believe, but I haven't received the modem yet. (I'm having it turned on there AND keeping it on at my old place, to make sure the downtime for EPU is a minimum. Once I know it is working there we'll move the boxes, change the IPs, and done.)
What else... Oh, I decided that having a special group for KBlogger stuff was stupid. Since I put them all behind cuts anyway I just made them public. It also means Google and such will index them over time, so maybe it'll help more people. I've also started tagging my entries (the latest Semagic has tagging), and I've done May and June, I'll do older stuff little by little.
OK, I need to get the hell out of here, eat, and sleep. Later!
PS - Don't forget the piss-up Friday!

"You must be the best judge of your own happiness."
Jane Austen said that, in Emma, but the statement is also a keystone principle of modern microeconomic theory, and it provides the epistemic foundation that makes benefit-cost analysis possible. The only way to know people's preferences is observe the choices that they themselves freely make; all inferences about the "public" interest must begin there.
Midnight Mulligan – The Congressional Review Act Rides Again!
Might the administrative state have expired quietly, six months ago? Arguably it did, if what we mean by the administrative state is the array of regulatory agencies, not only executing the law, but also creating binding new law without legislative consent. Bear with me.
The Public Interest and the Regulatory State
How can we ensure that government officials use their powers in the public interest?
Does Benefit-Cost Analysis Attempt the Impossible?
Before tackling some of the practical problems involved in the use of Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA), I want to take a look at two foundational questions. How do we incorporate the interests of affected individuals into a BCA model? And how do we assemble those individual interests into a social welfare function that allows us to make a collective decision?
Using Benefit-Cost Analysis to Harness the Administrative State
Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) is now widely known and used, but it is also widely misunderstood – by many of its advocates as well as its detractors. Over the next few weeks I want to examine some of the strengths and weaknesses of BCA as a normative science; and, yes, that phrase is an oxymoron, which is a source of much of the controversy. BCA is an imperfect answer, but often perhaps the best available answer, to the question of how a society should go about making collective but not unanimous choices. Nowhere is its use more contested than in its application to decisions by regulatory agencies.
Coherence in the Executive
In response to: Ten Ways for the Next President to Promote the Rule of Law
I can only applaud the excellent "to do list" in Adam White's Liberty Forum essay, even as I scan the absentee ballot that I received in September wondering whether any of the leading candidates would have the good sense to give the list the attention it deserves. But we are giving advice here, not forecasting the future, and so we persevere in the face of obvious obstacles to progress. The first item on the White List—rescinding President Obama's worst regulatory excesses—should be front and center in the earliest days of the new administration. I would suggest making a distinction between those…
More Responses
Adam White's Liberty Forum essay offers 10 ways for our 45th President to promote the rule of law, many of which I find appealing. But I fear he could offer a thousand such ideas without much effect, and in the end he concedes that he, too, doubts that Presidents will restrain themselves or their governments…
It is very difficult to take issue with the pessimistic tone of Adam White's sensible advice to the next President on 10 ways to promote the rule of law. All of the topics that he mentions are understood as serious, systemic weaknesses. When it comes to administrative law, President Obama has a penchant for excessive…
When Law and Liberty invited me to write on 10 things that a new president could do to promote the rule of law, I was struck by how counterintuitive the question was. After years upon years of debate over presidents pushing the boundaries of the constitutional powers (and not just during the most recent administration,…
The New Cronyism of the Old Rent-Seeking State
In response to: The Rise of Adversarial Corporatism
Michael Greve's essay vividly describes some deeply troubling trends in the relationship between the government and the economy. It provides a much needed perspective at a time when politics and policy-making are nothing if not adversarial, and more casual observers succumb to the temptation simply to choose sides without asking how we came to this ugly state of public affairs and where it might be headed. At the same time, however, I fear that Greve's coinage of "adversarial corporatism," however apt, will be too often misunderstood. Like "crony capitalism," it will lead those who inhabit the shallow news-bite space (and…

New orders at US factories rose by a sharper-than-expected 1.1 percent in April as strong demand for quickly used nondurable goods offset a dip in orders for costly durable goods, the Commerce Department reported on Tuesday.
The April pickup in overall factory orders followed an upwardly revised increase of 1.5 percent in March orders that previously was reported as a 1.3 percent gain.
Excluding transportation items, factory orders posted back-to-back 2.6 percent increases in each of March and April, implying the industrial sector still retains considerable vigor. Shipments of finished goods rose 2.2 percent in April, the strongest monthly pickup since December 2006.
Orders for costly durable goods - items like cars and refrigerators intended to last three years or more - declined by a revised 0.6 percent in April rather than the 0.5 percent drop previously reported. That followed a 0.2 percent decrease in March.
Wall Street economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast that total factory orders would decline by 0.1 percent in April and that durable goods orders would be down 0.5 percent.
Nondefense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, which some economists view as a proxy for business investment, climbed by a revised 4 percent in April, slightly less than the 4.2 percent gain previously reported, after contracting by 1 percent in March.

Content Marketing Strategy
It is important to create content for your legal business so that potential clients can find you. If someone is searching for information regarding law services, then your legal website should appear with appropriate content. Moreover, potential clients will trust a law firm that provides good quality information. Therefore, you need to provide valuable content to your users for which content marketing strategy becomes critical. For a successful content marketing strategy, you need to decide your target audience, choose the content type (images, videos or blogs). Accordingly, create content that suits their needs and promotes them on various platforms. For example, if you focus on corporate clients, then your content may include statistics. Similarly, blogs, videos or infographics may be used to provide detailed information to your audience. Multiple platforms such as social media channels and search engine ads can be used to promote your content.
Content marketing is an effective way to boost conversions. By developing a content strategy, you can achieve your objectives by meeting the needs of your target audience. Also, content marketing helps you to stand apart from the clutter, provides a great resource base to your clients, and enhances customer engagement. Thus, apart from getting new clients, it helps you improve your online brand reputation as well. This is necessary as people tend to trust a brand that has a good reputation.
Law Firm Search Engine Marketing
Website optimization is another important aspect that needs to be considered. You may have the most valuable piece of information for your users but it is useless if they cannot access this information. Generally, a person looking for information will search on Google. If your webpage does not feature in the first few pages of Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs), then you end losing many potential clients. Hence, optimizing your legal website for your target audience is crucial. In fact, optimizing your website for a local area (local SEO) can be even more beneficial for two reasons. One, there will be many law firms constantly working on optimizing their website to maintain a good rank on SERPs for law services and retain their current rank. Thus, it might be a time-consuming process to outrank these websites organically. The second reason is that each province in Canada has its own laws of the land. So, providing legal services in the province of Alberta will be different from providing legal services in the province of British Columbia. Hence, it makes sense to go for local SEO and target the locals in your area of operation.
There are several elements of SEO such as backlinking, SEO-friendly content, using the right keywords, using a standard URL address, etc. It is, therefore, recommended that you take help of an expert SEO firm in Canada to help you design your legal website as required by search engines. This will allow your legal website to get a good rank on SERPs and as a result, you get an increased traffic to the website.. The more visitors (traffic) you get, the more useful it is to boost your SEO rank.
Law Firm Social Media
You need to be where your audience is. Today, a vast majority of people use social media for different purposes, including searching for information. In fact, according to a survey of more than 101 major law firms, more than half have won business due to social media engagement. Hence, if you want to get hold of clients for your business, then utilizing social media shouldn't simply be an option. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are ideal for law firms. Use these social media channels to build trust among your fans and followers by providing unique and engaging content. If they like your content, then they will share it with their followers, thus allowing your law brand to reach out to more people.
For companies such as legal firms that seek to establish trust among their audience, social media is quite a big challenge. According to a Forrester Research, only 15% of people said they trust social media posts by firms. As a result, firms are reluctant to take their legal practice on social media as they lack the skills to nurture their relationships using social media. The solution, in this case, is to take help of a professional social media firm. A professional firm will be well-versed in dealing with your followers on multiple platforms while keeping in mind the latest social media trends.
Social media can also be used for advertising your law services. Each social media channel has a different method of targeting and pricing mechanism for advertising. Consulting a professional social media firm will help you manage your social media campaign and get quality leads from it.

Pay Per Click & Retargeting Campaigns
Promoting your law services through search engine advertisements helps you get good quality leads. The cost of your campaign depends on the keyword phrases that you choose. Google, Bing, and, Yahoo are the most popular search engines for this type of marketing and all offer PPC (pay-per-click) advertisements. One of the best benefits of search engine marketing is that your law firm's website can be immediately featured on top of SERPs. Nevertheless, it is not easy to get featured as the top result since your ads will show up only to those search queries that you bid for. Search engines use the quality score as a variable to determine the order in which ads are listed. This quality score is a combination of factors such as the relevance of each keyword, the quality of landing page, and the bid amount.
For an effective PPC campaign, you need to choose the right keywords, create a good landing page, and follow up with potential leads. It is necessary that you nurture these leads and convert them into clients. Indeed, it is a time-consuming process and needs the help of a dedicated team to manage it. If you are unsure about managing your PPC campaign, then you should consult an experienced digital marketing firm.
Adopting a Comprehensive Digital Strategy
When you adopt a digital marketing strategy for your law firm, it helps you to get a higher return on your investment. This can be in the form of an enhanced brand image, increased profitability, and growth. In an industry where the market is fragmented by multiple players, it is essential that you start doing something that sets you apart. This is what digital marketing allows you to do by getting close to your clients. You understand what they are looking for by engaging with them on social media channels and gain valuable insights. Initially, it may be challenging to get the desired objectives. You need to be patient and constantly improve your efforts, whether it is for SEO, social media or search engine marketing. Once you get a hang of what's working for you and what's not, then you can make changes accordingly and see the improvements in your results. Moreover, it helps you to make sense of endless data and understand which KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) have an impact on your digital marketing strategy. However, if you have a limited budget and need instant results, then trial and error techniques seem to be a costly affair. In such situations, a professional marketing, and SEO firm's help is beneficial for you.
From creating your content marketing strategy to getting leads for your law business, Rapid Boost Marketing will assist you in every stage of digital marketing. With Rapid Boost Marketing, you can be sure of a successful digital marketing for your law brand.

Multiple Inheritance in C++ Programming
Inheritance is the process of inheriting properties of objects of one class by objects of another class.
Inheritance is the process of inheriting properties of objects of one class by objects of another class.
Using array in programming, we allocate a fixed size for our data. This size can't be increased or decreased while execution of the program. We can't change it even if the size allocated is more or less than our requirement. This type of allocation of memory is called Static Memory Allocation. This leads to wastage or shortage of memory.
Inheritance is the process of inheriting properties of objects of one class by objects of another class. The class which inherits the properties of another class is called Derived or Child or Sub class and the class whose properties are inherited is called Base or Parent or Super class.
Biologically, Inheritance is a term which means acquiring characters of parents by their offspring. Children often seems to have traits that their parents have like similar eye color, style of speaking, walking, etc. Additionally, they have their own traits too.
Array is a collection of variables of fixed size stored in a continuous memory location. They are also known as elements. These elements are accessed by its index. The elements in an array are numbered from 0 to n-1 (n being the length of array), those numbers are called indices.
If more than one functions having same name but differing in terms of number and types of argument it takes is used in a class, it is known as function overloading. It is an example of compile time polymorphism (static/early binding). The compiler determines which function is called during compile time based on the number and types of argument sent.
In C++, private members remain hidden and can only be accessed by other member function of that class and friend function. Friend function is defined or declared using keyword 'friend' before the function prototype inside the class. It takes objects as parameter and access their private members using object name and dot(.) operator. Friend function is used when we need to operate on data of two or more objects of same or different classes. For e.g.
The main thing required in creating a pattern in C is understanding how to use nested loops properly and knowing how the characters in pattern changes.
Here are a few examples to increase your understanding of patterns.
A prime number is the number which can be exactly divided by only 1 and the number itself. For example, 5 can only be exactly divided by 1 and the number itself, so 5 is a prime number. But 8 can be divided by 1, 2, 4 and 8 so it is not a prime number but a composite number. To find and display all prime numbers between 10 and 100, nested loop is to be used. The outer loop runs from 10 to 100 and the inner loop checks whether the number is prime or not.
There are different types of series in mathematics which can be solved easily in C programming. This section deals with finding sum of following types of series in C program.

BOSTON, Mass. – The Wesley College men's track & field team, led by a gold-medal winning 4x200m Relay, had an impressive showing at the 2014 Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships this weekend at the Reggie Lewis Track & Field Center. The Wolverines finished with 32 points, finishing seventh overall and just 15 points off the team title.
The all-freshman contingent of Markael Jenkins, Patrick Schlosser, Da'Jahn Lowery and Johnny Crenshaw took the 4x200m Relay in a school-record 1:29.15, beating out Worcester State by .75. Jenkins and Lowery also both placed in the 60m Dash with Jenkins running a CAC-record 6.88 to take the silver and Lowery a 6.99 to finish fifth. Jenkins now sits 11th nationally in the event.
Crenshaw also had a personal-best showing in the 200m Dash, finishing in 22.54 and winning his heat by nearly half a second.
The 4x400 Relay of freshmen Evan Le'Mon, Anthony Brinkley, and Dominic McAnulty, as well as junior Carlton Sheppard also broke a CAC record, finishing fourth in 3:20.80. The new mark breaks their existing conference record by nearly three seconds.
Sheppard had one of the toughest days of any competitor at the ECAC Championships as he had a pair of scoring finishes and school-records in the 400m Dash and 800m Run. The Baltimore, Md., native, took fifth in the 400m Dash in a time of 49.46 and 8th in the 800m Run in 1:55.67.
Freshman Raymond King also competed in the triple jump and hit a mark of just over 45 feet.
Those Wolverines who rank in the Top 15 nationally in their individual events will compete at the 2014 NCAA Championships held at the University of Nebraska on March 14-15.
