North Korea is one of the world's foremost providers of missile technology, but experts say there is still no evidence that Pyongyang has shared its suspected stocks of nuclear materials or chemical and biological weapons.
Arms experts around the globe say North Korea's military has long been equipped with chemical and biological weapons and is known as one of the biggest players in the missile trade.
Researchers in the United States and South Korea say the Stalinist state has sold missile technology and several hundred missiles to other countries for two decades. Most of the know-how came from one-time communist ally, the former Soviet Union.
These sales include SCUD missiles, with a range of about 500 kilometers and North Korea's Nodong system, which can travel more than 1000 kilometers. While North Korea has longer-range missiles, experts say it does not appear to have sold them.
Terry Taylor studies weapons proliferation in Washington for the International Institute for Strategic Studies, an independent research group. He says Pyongyang trades with other so-called pariah countries, such as Iran, Libya and Syria.
"It's significant as to who they're [North Korea] supplying it to [countries] who may be under some partial or complete sanctions, so they're the recourse for countries that have difficulty getting technology like this from anywhere else," said Mr. Taylor.
Furthermore, North Korea is one of the few nations suspected of having chemical weapons ready for use, such as sarin and mustard gas. Pyongyang also is believed to be developing biological weapons, agents that spread diseases such as anthrax and typhoid.
But experts say there is no evidence that North Korea has tried to profit from these weapons.
At the independent Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in the United States, proliferation expert Jon Wolfsthal says the world market for such weapons is limited.
"You'd have to export a lot of these things to make a significant difference, that's something that would be highly observable, and again, something that countries themselves might be able to accomplish without having to rely on North Korea," he noted.
A far bigger concern is North Korea's nuclear weapons programs. U.S. intelligence agencies say Pyongyang probably has at least two crude nuclear weapons, and it claims to have reprocessed plutonium to make as many as eight.
At least some of Pyongyang's nuclear technology came from Pakistan
North Korea's nuclear weapons are considered a threat not only because Pyongyang might use them in a conflict, but also because they might be sold to terror groups or hostile nations.
The United States, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia have met three times since 2002 with North Korea to negotiate another nuclear disarmament deal, but have made no progress. Pyongyang, which has broken several international non-proliferation agreements, says it feels threatened by the United States, and wants security guarantees and economic aid in return for freezing its nuclear programs. Talks have stalled since September, when Pyongyang refused to attend a fourth round.
To keep countries such as North Korea from spreading weapons technology, more than a dozen nations have joined in Washington's 2003 Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI). They are cooperating to track and stop ships suspected of carrying illicit weapons.
But some experts think the initiative has problems. They say the chief flaw is that it may not detect small weapons shipments, such as the eight kilograms of fissile material needed to make a crude nuclear weapon, or the workings of a missile guidance system.
That is why the current six-nation talks are seen as the best hope to get North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program and end any proliferation threat.
However, some experts fear efforts to stop North Korean missile proliferation could interfere with nuclear disarmament talks. Choi Choon-heum, a North Korea analyst at the Korea Institute of National Unification in Seoul, warns North Korea desperately needs the revenue from missile sales to keep the government afloat.
"They'll regard PSI as a signal to war. They already said that, implementing PSI will be a signal to start a war," he added.
North Korea frequently threatens war in response to any efforts to make it comply with non-proliferation agreements.
Mr. Choi acknowledges that while missile sales are vital, nuclear sales would be another issue. He says Pyongyang realizes selling nuclear technology would incur the wrath not only of countries such as the United States, but also the North's chief ally, China.
Beijing provides up to half of the North's revenue and aid, and Pyongyang is not likely to risk losing that by expanding its weapons sales to include nuclear technology.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- Synopsys, Inc. introduces the industry's first complete PCI Express 4.0 IP solution, consisting of DesignWare PHY, controllers and verification IP (VIP) targeting enterprise computing applications such as servers, networking, storage systems and solid state drives (SSDs). The PCI Express 4.0 specification, the next generation of the PCI Express I/O standard, doubles throughput to 16 GT/s and is currently at a preliminary revision 0.3 within the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG). The DesignWare IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture enables easy system-on-chip (SoC) integration of 16 GT/s performance and the power-saving features defined in the PCI Express 4.0 specification. Based on proven technology in the DesignWare IP for PCI Express 3.0, 2.1 and 1.1 architectures, which combined have more than 1,000 design wins, the DesignWare IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture allows designers to quickly incorporate the new PCI Express 4.0 standard into their products with less risk and improved time-to-market.
"Synopsys is an aggressive, early supporter of the PCI Express 4.0 specification, which provides critical performance and power enhancements to high-end server and enterprise applications," said Bruce Tolley, vice president of technical and solutions marketing at Solarflare. "As the leader in application-intelligent Ethernet network interface software and hardware, we rely on Synopsys to provide us with trusted PCI Express IP solutions that support the latest specifications. Synopsys' early support of the PCI Express 4.0 specification, combined with the company's best-in-class technical support, is exactly what we expect from the leading provider of PCI Express IP."
"Teledyne-LeCroy has worked closely with Synopsys in the past to ensure interoperability and standards compliance for the PCI Express and M-PCIe™ specifications," said John Wiedemeier, product marketing manager at Teledyne-LeCroy. "To accelerate time-to-market, designers require a high-quality IP product that helps lower the risk of incorporating the interface into their SoCs. Our collaborative relationship with Synopsys on the latest PCI Express specifications strengthens the ecosystem for everyone and allows developers of enterprise SoCs to leverage proven solutions."
The DesignWare PHY IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture will support full-featured bifurcation and aggregation, offering designers the flexibility either to configure the PHY macro into multiple individual links at 2.5, 5, 8 or 16 GT/s, or to aggregate the PHY macro up to 16 lanes. For increased signal integrity at high-speed data rates across legacy channels, the PHY analog front-end will include 5-tap DFE, continuous time linear equalization (CTLE) and feed forward equalization (FFE) with advanced algorithms for link initialization and adaptation. As power reduction is a key requirement in many markets, the DesignWare PHY IP will reduce both active and standby power consumption through advanced techniques including L1 sub-states. Support for Separate Refclk Independent SSC (SRIS) will allow the use of cables to enable a new class of PCI Express applications outside of the system.
The low-power, low-latency DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture is backward compatible with the PCI Express specification (4.0, 3.0, 2.1, 1.1, M‑PCIe and optional features including L1 sub-states) across Switch, Endpoint, Dual Mode and Root Complex port types, with support for embedded DMA and SR-IOV. ARM® AMBA® 4 AXI™, AMBA 3 AXI and AMBA AHB™ and native interfaces are available in the DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture, as well as in previous generations, enabling designers to quickly upgrade to the PCI Express 4.0 technology. Based on existing DesignWare IP architectures, the DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture supports multiple lanes (x1 to x16) and multiple datapath widths, enabling an optimized solution for the target application while minimizing gate counts and reducing design risk.
The Synopsys Verification IP for PCI Express architecture will be available to thoroughly verify designs based on the PCI Express 4.0, 3.0, 2.1 and 1.1 specifications. It will be fully configurable to support verification of PCI Express technology endpoints, switches and root complex devices at the PIPE or serial interface. With this comprehensive set of protocol, methodology, coverage, verification and productivity features, designers will be able to achieve rapid verification closure of their designs using PCI Express technology.
"Enterprise applications require greater bandwidth through PCI Express interfaces to address the demands of servers, storage devices and switch interconnects," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and prototyping at Synopsys. "Synopsys is building on our leading PCI Express technology to enable designers to bring leading-edge products using the latest PCI Express specification to the market. Our complete DesignWare IP solution for the PCI Express 4.0 specification doubles performance over our existing PCI Express 3.0 IP, reduces design risk and accelerates time-to-revenue for designers implementing the PCI Express 4.0 architecture in their SoCs."
The DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture is available now. Synopsys Verification IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture is scheduled for early availability in Q3 2014. For availability information on DesignWare PHY IP for PCI Express 4.0 architecture in leading 14/16-nm FinFET and 28-nm process technologies, please contact Synopsys.

|Problem getting mail from Admin User List
|Tue, 17 Mar 2009 04:24:09 GMT
Hi, I seem to be having a strange problem with sending out user validation and password reset mails. If I point to an external service (like gmail) the mails are received fine. Trying to send these mails to internal email addresses always fail. Also, they don't show up in the company's blocked queue either. So, the strange thing is, when a build fails, the email goes out to everyone (internal) just fine. Basically, failed build email works just fine Account verification and password resets only work going to an external domain. Any idea on how I can debug (the log doesn't provide anything useful) Thanks,

Defense Contractor Pleads Guilty in Bribery Scheme
June 4, 2008
From POGO's blog:
On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced that Raman International Inc. pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery for its participation in a scheme to influence the awarding of DoD contracts at Camp Victory, Iraq. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Raman agreed to pay a criminal fine of $500,000, and to pay $327,192 in restitution to the DoD. Raman also agreed not to conduct business with the U.S. government for three years.
According to court documents, an unidentified U.S. Army Reserve major received money and other items, including a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle, through her mother in Oklahoma from former Raman employee, Elie Samir Chidiac, in return for conveying sensitive information and fraudulently awarding contracts to Raman. The Army officer forged documents to make it appear that Raman had performed services under the contracts, upon which Chidiac received payment from the DoD--almost $700,000 in total--and kicked some of it back to the officer. In January, Chidiac was indicted on two conspiracy counts and is currently a fugitive. Chidiac is accused of persuading the officer to cancel contracts with another vendor and award them to Raman.
The Justice Department's National Procurement Fraud Task Force, an anti-procurement fraud initiative created in October 2006, deserves credit for the bust. However, this case is mere chump change compared to other Iraq-related procurement fraud that has occurred or may still be occurring and involves billions of dollars. POGO hopes the Task Force also brings these perpetrators to justice.
Founded in 1981, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that champions good government reforms. POGO's investigations into corruption, misconduct, and conflicts of interest achieve a more effective, accountable, open, and ethical federal government.

The My Must Haves Palette come in either an empty 4 pan palette ($2.90 SGD) or empty 8 pan palette ($3.90 SGD). The individual eyeshadows ($2.90 SGD each) come in a total of 20 different shades which recommended groupings in sets of four however you can choose to mix and match as you please!
Each eyeshadow has 1.7 grams of product, have individual labels and the pans very easily snap into the empty palette making it very easy to arrange and great portability.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 The My Must Haves Palette in 4
of my most loved colors 05 cotton candy, 06 raspberry frosting, 18
black as a berry, 08 peach-party!
This palette is made up of four of the most popular single shadow shades from Essence. It includes a frosty light pink, a medium satin translucent pink, satin deep cool purple and light bronzy peach shade all which are very wearable shades.
The frosty pink and peach would be great all over the lid as a single shade look. Whereas the first three shades would make a great cool pinky cool. The shadows are all very smooth, medium pigmentation and have a lovely satin/shimmery finish that would flatter everyone.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 The My Must Haves Palette in 4 of my most loved colors 05 cotton candy, 06 raspberry frosting, 18 black as a berry, 08 peach-party!
To get flushed and sculpted cheeks the BLUSHplay Sculpting Blush Palette($7.50 SGD) in 10 play it peach is a blush trio. The shades can be mixed, used individually or used together for a contoured blush look.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 BLUSHplay sculpting blush palette in 10 play it peach
The shades included in this trio are very universal and would flatter all skintones. I like that this is a powder product as I find that the best for humid weather. The define shade is satin, the sculpt, matte and the highlight a fine shimmery finish.
The define and sculpt shades are pigmented, smooth and easy to blend whereas the highlight is very subtle and gives the most natural glow. Definitely multi-use and great for coral/peach lovers.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 BLUSHplay sculpting blush palette in 10 play it peach
The Rainbow Prismatic Glow Highlighter in 10 be a unicorn ($6.50 SGD) is a great way to jump onto the rainbow highlight bandwagon without breaking the bank. It's a iridescent, multi-colored powder that gives you the very much sought after "unicorn" look, perfect for those who are daring and like trying out trending things!
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Rainbow Prismatic Glow Highlighter in 10 be a unicor
As someone who doesn't use any unconventional highlight shades this is really a fascinating product. Each shade has a good amount of color while having a pretty translucent quality which makes these fun colors very wearable as highlight.
For those who want to be subtle, a swirling of the shades is the way to go but if you want a particular shade or want distinct colors then a wider brush and a single swipe will provide the most unicorn approved highlight!
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Rainbow Prismatic Glow Highlighter in 10 be a unicor
The Hi! Lighting Eyeshadow Mousse ($4.50 SGD) is a mousse eyeshadow that comes in 4 natural shimmery shades. This product is a light whipped texture and applies like a cream with a medium opacity. Meant to be worn alone all over the eye, this can also be used as an inner corner highlight or even as eyeshadow base as I've tried.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Hi! Lighting Eyeshadow Mousse 03 hi! rosy
For base, the Instant Matt Make-up ($7.50 SGD) comes in 3 shades and is a mousse type of foundation with medium to high coverage with a matt finish. This is suppose to last up to 18 hours and is formulated to feel light on the skin.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Instant Matt Make-up in 10 matt ivory
The shade 10 matt ivory suits NC20-25 and works well for tones with a yellow undertone. The product has a light sweet floral smell and blends out easily and dries down quickly to a touch dry finish that is ideal for humid and hot weather. Definitely a good matt face product if you can find a match in the small line.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Instant Matt Make-up in 10 matt ivory
The Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension Mascara ($5.50 SGD) is a mascara with a diamond shaped brush, it has lengthening fibers in the formula for longer, fuller lashes. I found this mascara easy to apply and it gave the lashes a more volumized and slightly lengthened look. However as it is not a waterproof formula it may not be suitable for many in Singapore during summer unless you are mostly indoors.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension Mascara
For a wet-look, smooth and shiny finish on the lips the Shine Shine Shine Lipgloss ($3.50 SGD) is a lipgloss to create that look! There are seven very wearable shades from a clear gloss to pinks, nudes and a red. Not only is this gloss comfortable and moisturizing but it smells like jelly beans.
Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour ($4.50 SGD) is a water-based lip product that feels light and gives a wet-look without as much glossiness as the Shine Shine Shine lipgloss. The product comes in six shades, smells like sweet tea and has a medium to full color intensity. It's very comfortable on the lips and dries down to a slightly wet finish.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Shine Shine Shine Lipgloss, Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour and Face Your Shade Lipstick
For a gradient lip look the Face Your Shade Lipstick ($4.90 SGD) is a black-red lipstick that is to be used to create the ombré/ bitten lips look with a matt finish. There is also another white color version of this product that helps to achieve the look. You can use another lighter shade to mix with this darker shade 02 ombré parfait to get the ombre look!
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Shine Shine Shine Lipgloss, Water Kiss Glossy Lip Colour and Face Your Shade Lipstick
Here the Glamaxy Top Coat is a multi-colored coat that gives the nails a gorgeous stars in space type of look. Whereas the Glow & Care Luminous Nail Polish, has 3 shades and 05 love and care is a beautiful deep mauve rose with a fine golden shimmer. Both retail at $2.50 SGD.
|Essence Spring/Summer 2017 Glamaxy Top Coat and Glow & Care Luminous Nail Polish

I grew up in Richmond, Virginia and studied Art History and French at the University of Virginia. After graduating I moved to New York City, where I spent six years working at Sotheby's auction house. Looking for a change of pace I moved back to Richmond and started working at Sonic. In my free time I am a personal trainer, I practice yoga and I enjoy being outside...especially by the beach.
- If you could be any animal, what would you be?
A duck.
- What was the last book you read?
My Misspent Youth by Meghan Daum
- Where did you go last time you were in a plane? Miami
- If you could be anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds, where would you go? If we're talking where would I like to be right now, at this moment instead of here, I would say Colombia. If we're talking more generally if I had once place I could get to in a matter of seconds on the regular, I'd say home, wherever that happens to be. The trip home from anywhere always seems exponentially longer than the trip out.
- Have you ever met someone famous?
Once I smiled at Drake and then he kind of grinned back awkwardly and then looked away. Dunno if that counts...

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Andrea Ruissen, Guy Widdershoven, Anton van Balkom, and Gerben Meynen consider two cases of obsessive–compulsive disorder and the judgements of (in)competence licensed by four approaches: the MacCAT-assisted assessment and the cognitive, emotions, and values approaches.1 They conclude by outlining an alternative approach to competence which appeals to Aristotle's notion of practical wisdom (phronēsis).
For reasons of space, I focus only on Ruissen and colleagues' case of Jack. He retrospectively claims that he was incompetent at the time of his original admission, and this is something his psychiatrist (also retrospectively) agrees on. Ruissen et al. argue that the four approaches they consider either license a judgement of competence or do not give us reason to doubt competence. Their preferred practical wisdom approach licenses a judgement of incompetence, in line with both Jack and his psychiatrist. Now considering discontinuing treatment, Jack claims he is competent, and again, according to Ruissen et al., the four approaches they consider either agree or do not give us a reason to doubt this judgement. Jack's psychiatrist suspects incompetence, and this is a judgement also licensed by Ruissen and colleagues' practical wisdom account.
Approaches to competence are discussed with reference to the patient's and psychiatrist's judgements of competence, and it is implied that approaches earn a theoretical point if they are …

Macerich's Quarter Beats Wall Street Forecasts
Shopping mall owner Macerich Inc. said higher rent revenue and tenant occupancy at its shopping malls helped it post fourth-quarter results that were better than analysts expected.
The Santa Monica real estate investment trust, which operates 62 shopping centers across the country, reported net income of $174 million ($1.27 a share), up 7 percent from the same period a year earlier. Revenue rose 15 percent to $251 million.
Funds from operations, an industry measure of profitability, rose more than 11 percent to more than $132 million (90 cents). Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters on average expected FFO of 87 cents a share on revenue of less than $219 million.
Revenue from minimum rents rose 18 percent to $140 million. The mall portfolio occupancy rate was 93.8 percent, compared with 92.7 percent a year earlier.
Chief Executive Arthur Coppula said that the REIT had made significant progress in reorganizing debt, and had closed some "attractive" mall acquisitions and buyouts of joint venture partners in other properties at good rates.
"One year ago we gave our board of directors a five-year plan on where wanted to take the company, and at our board meeting last week I told them that frankly I felt that in the last 12 months we had accomplished more than 80 percent of that five-year plan," Coppula said during a conference call with analysts
Shares closed up $1.46, or 2.4 percent, to $61.51 on the New York Stock Exchange.

The quincunx is an object, an image, that has long exerted a fascination over me. It is not an uncommon symbol – after all it appears on one of the faces of every die.
Then, yesterday, the symbol again sprang into my mind in the context of the novella I am writing (Matryoshka) and I went to wikipedia to explore it a little – only to find the 'Portuguese shield" staring at me… I was actually a tad stunned, since I'm not aware of having ever consciously noticed that those quincunxes were there – that they were at the heart of the flag of my country of birth. (Interestingly, the quincunx here apparently represents the five wounds of Christ that he received on the cross – those on his feet, his hands and the lance in his side..)
Then I recalled that I had chosen the quincunx as the armorial symbol for the gatehouses that give access to each of the five radial roads that issue from the Wheel, a marketplace in the City at the Gates, in my Stone Dance books. Now you may say that it is obvious to choose this symbol to represent five things. However, considering that Osrakum in some ways represents Portugal – or at least the Portugal of my childhood – in my 'automythological' understanding of the Stone Dance, that the entrance should be marked with the quincunx seems to me suggestive.
The more I learn of the way the subconscious acts in us, the more amazed I become. It is as if each one of us, bobbing along in our little personal rowing boat in the full light of consciousness, is shadowed in the deep waters beneath us, by an immense shape sliding in the depths of our hidden mind.

This makes me think of something I once read (essay not novel) by Ursula Le Guin in which she points out that some culture or (I can't remember whether invented or real) thinks in terms for an extra dimension – as well as up down etc. there is also inwards. If you think in terms of going inwards not towards the subject from outside but from the surface part of the mind inwards into the hidden depths it occurs to me that this inward dimension will be as vast and unending as the outward directions – I didn't think of that at the time but your post has sparked off that train of thought. What we normally call our self or identity is really the boundary or surface between inside and outsidem, and you can travel as far or further inwards in various ways as out – and meet with things both strange and familiar, or both at the same time. (This felt like a discovery when I thought about it 10 mins ago but now that I think about it again it feels as if I must have heard it or something similar elsewhere. Sorry to bore people!)
The history of the evolution of the Portuguese flag is quite complex! A link to my essay, in fact a revision of a paper delivered way back in 2002 can be found on blog below the large photo of the statue of Browne, just scroll deep down. Sorry unable to provide a link, perhaps you can here. Thanks for your interest. Now to explore your writings a little more!
By simultaneous i just mean a flurry or spate of posts occurring on the quincunx within a few days of each other.No self-deception or confusing cause and effect there, but perhaps a good example of collective unconscious synchronicity.
Your suggestion of arms and legs or face-features seems extremely plausible from an early basic recognition pattern; perhaps this was also unconsciously the root of Pythagoras's coining the term for from his pyramid of ten dots, the tetkratys representing the universe, the quincunx representing man can be discerned.
A reader's comment's thread is not the place to explain why the Quincunx represents the stone! i will however (as my 2002 online essay on alchemy and Browne explains) state that there's a strong connection between Browne and Jung.
Amusingly no less than three bloggers have posted on this word in the last few days.
Here in Norwich UK the hermetic philosopher Sir Thomas Browne wrote a whole discourse upon the quincunx pattern in art and nature. C.G. Jung defines its as a symbol of the philosopher's stone, so a good symbolic pattern as armour for a novel! As you say, these things are embedded subconsciously.
But i did not know about the five wounds of Christ symbolism, v. interesting, what's your source there, please?

|Photograph, c. 1938, (Clarendon County, S.C.), of African American school on Spring Hill A.M.E. Church property
Black-and-white photograph of the African American school in the Spring Hill African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church property in Clarendon County, South Carolina. A typed note on the back of the picture claims church members maintained the school until Joseph A. DeLaine, Sr. organized the Parents' Committee on Action and the Clarendon County, South Carolina, school segregation case, also known as Briggs v. Elliott. The note also indicates the photograph was taken about 1938.
"On the opposite side is the school building on the Spring Hill A.M.E. Church property, what was kept up by the members of the church before Reverend DeLaine organized the Parents at Summerton, in Clarendon County to go to Court for 'Equal Educational Opportunities for All Children.' This school was demolished just before the May 28 Fourth Circuit in Charleston was heard. Now the modern school is built near this site."--verso photograph

Posted on October 29, 2017, by Travis Pulver
The Big 12 added a championship game this season in hopes of increasing the chances it could get a team into the CFB Playoffs this season. Every team likely entered the season thinking they could be the one. But in reality, there were only a few teams that truly had a shot, Oklahoma, TCU, and Oklahoma State.
As of Saturday afternoon, Iowa State has defeated two of them—and with a backup quarterback.
Kyle Kempt completed 21 of 35 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns along with an interception. The defense shut down Kenny Hill, and the Cyclones pulled off their second win over a top-five team this season.

Kempt did most of his damage in the first half with a touchdown pass in the first and second quarter. However, he and the offense struggled to move the ball in the second half. But luckily, the defense was more than capable of picking up the slack.
"They really believe in each other," Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell said (ESPN). "The first half, the offense at times picked the defense up, and in the second half the defense picked the offense up. Good teams do that."
TCU looked like it might threaten to take over the game in the second half when they opened it with a 94-yard kick return for a touchdown by KaVontae Turpin. Later in the quarter, Hill appeared poised and ready to tie the game up after the defense gave him the ball on a short field. But on 3rd and six from the seven-yard line, he threw an interception.
Hill wouldn't get the offense within striking range again until midway through the fourth quarter. But then the Iowa State defense sacked Hill causing him to fumble. Iowa State recovered on the 15-yard line.
The defense locked the game up in the final seconds with another interception off Hill, this one by Marcel Spears Jr. The final score– TCU 7 Iowa State 14.
"We had a formula: not turning the ball over and beat people at their own game. We did not do that," TCU head coach Gary Patterson said (ESPN).
Hill had only one interception to his name before Saturday' game. The lost fumble was his first of the season.
With the win, Iowa State becomes bowl eligible for the first time in five seasons. That was likely a goal when the season started. But the Cyclones are setting their sights on the Big 12 Championship. But the road will be a tough one with games against West Virginia and Oklahoma State.
Should they pull out the upset win over Oklahoma State, they will have defeated the Big 12's best three candidates for the CFB Playoffs. Even if either of the three does go on to win the conference, their loss to Iowa State will likely be enough to keep them from making the top four.
With two losses on their record, even if they run the table, Iowa State will not make the top four. So, thanks to the over-achieving Cyclones, the Big 12 will probably not make the CFB Playoffs once again.

André Holland and Tony and Oscar winner Mark Rylance will headline a production of Othello at Shakespeare's Globe as part of Michelle Terry's inaugural season as artistic director at the London venue. Claire van Kampen, who is married to Rylance, will helm the staging, set to run July 20–October 13.
Holland, known for his performance in the Oscar-winning Moonlight and in last season's Broadway revival of Jitney, will take on the title role, while Rylance, the founding artistic director of the Globe who currently stars on Broadway in van Kampen's Farinelli and the King, will play Iago. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
Read: HOW TONY AND OSCAR WINNER MARK RYLANCE WOUND UP IN A PLAY WRITTEN BY HIS WIFE
The season will open April 25 with Hamlet, which will play in rep with As You Like It (beginning May 2). Both will be performed by the Globe Ensemble, comprised of artists including artistic director Terry, Federay Holmes, Bettrys Jones, Jack Laskey, Nadia Nadarajah, Pearce Quigley, Shubham Saraf, Elle While, and Tanika Yearwood.
The 2018 lineup also includes a repertory offering of The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, and Twelfth Night. Brendan O'Hea will direct a company of eight actors, who will perform all three at the Globe in May prior to an international tour, where audiences will pick which of the three plays the troupe will perform.
Completing the season at the Globe are Shakespeare and John Fletcher's The Two Noble Kinsmen directed by Barrie Rutter, The Winter's Tale directed by Blanche McIntyre, and two new plays: Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's Emilia (directed by Nicole Charles) and Matt Hartley's Eyam (directed by Adele Thomas).
The Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the Globe's indoor theatre, will offer a Nick Bagnall-helmed Love Labour's Lost August 23–September 15, as well as the premiere of Jude Christian's Nanjing. The latter will be presented as part of Refugee Week (June 18–24), as the Globe explores Shakespeare's response to refuge in his texts.

Weekend dates are great, but what's so wrong with grabbing a Thursday morning coffee at Dose or squeezing in weeknight drinks at Rosemary? It's the sort of question Nashville pop artist Kyle Reynolds asks with infectious single "Friday Saturday Sunday." The beautifully produced anthem tackles convenience culture in the dating world, since love isn't as easy as grabbing a Lyft or ordering from UberEats, right? The single is an exciting follow up of "Natural," his 2017 collaboration with Russ Macklin.
Reynolds says, "I wrote the song with Sam Ellis in Nashville, TN, who's one of my favorite people to write with. It was produced by him and another dude in LA named Daniel Weber. The song is pretty much about someone who just wants to hang out and mess around on the weekends, but can't commit to a real relationship and show up on the weekdays."
Listen to "Friday Saturday Sunday" below. We promise it sounds amazing any day of the week.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix (Review)
Please Note

If you normally use an ad blocker, please consider turning it off while you are visiting this site.
Thank you!
Gluten Free Goodies are so Hard to Find
One of the biggest laments from those with wheat and gluten dietary restrictions, is how hard it is to find dessert foods that are tasty and affordable. I've noticed that if it's affordable, it probably tastes like the box it came in and if it tastes great, it's out of my budget range.
But, sometimes the need for a chocolately-good brownie overpowers the need to save pennies, which is exactly what happened when we came across a gluten free brownie mix at a local shop. I had to have some P.D.Q. (Pretty Darn Quick) ... Maybe it had something to do with being 5 months pregnant ...?
I looked at the powder mix and visualized simply adding a little water, mixing, baking and YUMM-O!! ...
Turns out, this wasn't that simple, because this was Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix.
What's in the Mix
My big problem with gluten free flour mixtures and "instant" mixes is that they often use garbanzo bean flour, also known as chickpeas. Don't get me wrong - I love chickpeas and even add them to recipes you wouldn't expect to find them in, such as my tomato soup. What I don't like is the horrible aftertaste that garbanzo bean flour leaves in the back of your tongue.
So, the first thing we did when we discovered this package of gluten free brownie mix was do a quick scan to make sure the detestable wheat substitute wasn't among the listed.
The ingredients for this mix are:
- evaporated cane juice
- Ghirardelli cocoa
- potato starch
- white sorghum flour
- tapioca flour
- whole corn flour
- sea salt
- baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate)
- xanthan gum
YAY!! No garbanzo bean flour!!
The Missing Ingredient(s)
Unfortunately, some key ingredients needed to make it an "instant" mix aren't present. According to the recipe instructions, we needed to add butter, egg, vanilla and water to make these brownies. Ouch! That's half the ingredients required for make-from-scratch brownies!
How yummy are they?
The Proof is in the Brownie
So, how did it turn out?
The Good: These brownies are, in a word: Amazing!
The flavour is rich; a little bite goes a looooong way. I found that a small square of this brownie (enjoyed with a cold glass of milk) maxed me out on my chocolate intake for the day. Unlike other brands, Bob's Red Mill brownies are moist, even after sitting in the refrigerator for several days. The texture is smooth and although it does crumble when you put a fork to it, you get big fluffy chunks of "crumble". Easily the best gluten free brownies I've ever had.
The Bad: The instructions also includes a recipe for a fudge topping (Yay!), but of course, the ingredients for this are not part of the package (Boo!). If you want to make this topping, it'll cost another $4 or so, depending on how much the ingredients cost in your area. (Note: The frosting in the above photo is a little something my husband whipped up himself and not the fudge topping from the instructions.)
The Ugly: The major down-side is that these brownies are so expensive to make! Gluten free products are dramatically marked up in our area. One 21 oz bag of Bob's Red Mill Brownie Mix costs $6.99 CAD ($8.04 after taxes). If we decide to buy this product again, that is the cheapest I'd be able to get it. Amazon.com has this product for a decent price, however the shipping costs to Canada doubles the price! ... Oddly enough, that is still cheaper than ordering directly from Bob's Red Mill's website which charges $5.19 CAD per 21 oz package plus shipping.
Butter and eggs are expensive in my area. A pound of butter averages about $4.49 CAD and a dozen large eggs is $3.79. Using one egg won't break the bank, but this recipe calls for approximately half a pound of butter. That's about $2.57 on top of the cost of the mix, which brings the total cost to $10.61 CAD for one tray of brownies!
The Verdict
No doubt about it, Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix delivers on its promise of an "intense dark chocolate flavor combined with a wonderfully moist cake texture" as you can see from the photo above. These brownies are the most delicious gluten free dessert I've had so far.
We love them.
The reason this product only gets 4 out of 5 stars is the cost to buy a package of Bob's Red Mill Brownie Mix and the cost of the ingredients needed to actually make the brownies using this mix. These brownies are "very special occasion" treat only.
© 2012 Rosa Marchisella
Very honest review. Hopefully demand will bring the price down and more people will have access to this product. Voted up!
Wow, this looks fantastic! I'll definitely have to give these a try. I'm so sorry your guys food prices are ridiculous, that really sucks. When I was living in San Francisco (like 11 years ago,) our food prices were just a little bit higher than yours, ($5 for a pound of butter, on sale!,) and it'd gotten to the point where it was literally cheaper to eat out! Ghirardelli makes the *best* chocolate.
Thank you for this cleverly written review.

It all started with a simple idea: obsession. Since its debut in 1917, the Chuck Taylor All Star has become one of the world's most celebrated sneakers, with fans, artists and musicians adopting the brand as a badge of creativity and self-expression. In creating the Chuck II, Converse obsessed over creative spirits around the world joining them on tour, in concert halls and art studios, on sidewalks and at all-night parties, and realized they wanted more. The Chuck Taylor All Star II is designed to meet the demands of the creative lifestyle and is built for the next generation of self-expression. Now, this beloved classic receives an innovative refresh, with product enhancements that stay true to the time-honored aesthetic while also providing modern comfort solutions in a premium execution. The Chuck II retains the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette but with a Nike Lunarlon sockliner for cushioning and arch support. Micro-suede lining, premium canvas construction and a padded, non-slip tongue deliver superior comfort and durability. Molded eyelets add a premium touch. The embossed, screen-printed license plate and embroidered, star-centered ankle patch add striking depth and dimension to recognizable, classic details.
I flew to Shanghai, China for the launch of The Chuck II. Held at the Shanghai Stadium, the launch stayed true to the core of the brand's philosophy and in a true Converse fashion, the event was packed with live music, a visual display of amazing artworks by renowned Philadelphia street painter Stephen Powers (ESPO) and graffiti artist KRINK. The guests were encouraged to wear hazmat suits, goggles and masks for a paint party! We had tons of fun shooting paint using these really cool fire extinguishers and paint-filled water balloons. It was a riot, alright.
The new Fall 2015 Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II is now available for a retail price of Php 3,990 for ox and hi-top at Converse retail stores, select retailers and online at Converse.com.ph, in the following colors: Black, White, Red and Blue.

Biomechanics is a fascinating field. Possessing sufficient knowledge in this area is paramount for properly understanding resistance training. I try my best to educate my readers so that over time they can build upon their knowledge and reach superior levels of understanding with regards to human movement.
I have listed some definitions below that I would like for my readers to try to familiarize themselves with as it will allow them to better comprehend future blogposts, articles, videos, and interviews. I created a special tab on the right hand column of the blog named "Biomechanics Terminology" so you can find this particular article whenever you need it.
Force: force equals mass times acceleration and is a vector quantity, meaning that it's displayed in a particular direction. Force is usually measured in Newtons.
GRFs: GRF stands for ground reaction force. When you jump, sprint, or perform an Olympic lift, you exert force into the ground. Force-plates measure these forces. During vertical jumping, most of the force produced is vertical. However, in sprinting, you have vertical forces as well as horizontal forces. When the foot strikes the ground during maximum speed sprinting, at first the force is projected forward which is called braking forces, and once the COM passes over the foot, the force is projected rearward which is called propulsive forces. In general, force, including GRF, is measured in Newtons.
Muscle Force: when muscles contract or are stretched, they create muscle force. This muscle force pulls on bones which creates joint torque. In general, force, including muscle force, is measured in Newtons.
Velocity: velocity is the rate of change of position of the athlete. It's just like the term speed, but with a direction associated with it. It is usually measured in meters per
second, but can also be expressed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
Vector: vectors contain both magnitudes and directions. Force, velocity, and acceleration are all vector quantities.
Force-Velocity Curve: you can plot the force-velocity curve on a graph by plotng force on the y-axis and velocity on the x-axis. In strength & conditioning, the goal is to shift the curve upward and to the right so that the athlete can exhibit more force and power at every possible load. Heavy strength training tends to shift the curve more on the force end of the spectrum, whereas explosive training tends to shift the curve more on the velocity end of the spectrum.

Ornamental Blackwork Tattoos by Matt Stopps
Matt Stopps' blackwork tattoos are intricate, bold, and teaming with spiritual energy
Matt Stopps creates powerful ornamental tattoos. His work not only has a extremely impactful appearance, it is also rife with sacred symbolism, featuring traditional designs associated with mysticism of eastern religions, like Hinduism and Buddhism. His take on blackwork is stylistically diverse; in some pieces, he captures the aesthetic of mehndi, while in others he shows off his skills at stippling, but all of his work is both impressive and intrepid.
Because of its incredibly pronounced presence on the body, Stopps' blackwork is unmistakable; you can recognize it from a distance. His take on the style stands out so much because of his use of bold patterning. Regardless of whether he's working in wide lines or heavy dotwork, all of his pieces have a recognizably prominent aesthetic to them considering the intense amount of intricacy that he packs into each one.
Stopps specialty is sacred geometry. He's mastered creating these incredibly intricate and profoundly meaningful designs. Throughout his portfolio, you'll encounter everything from more common figures like floral mandalas to more complex and esoteric ones, such as The Flower of Life, Oms, and other mystical symbols. In short, his work is as rich with spiritual connotations as it is refined on a technical level.
To get lost in the complexity of more of Stopps geometric masterpieces, find your way to his Instagram. He works at The Family Business Tattoo in London, England and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like a piece ornamental blackwork of your own.

I hope everyone had a blessed and wonderful Easter! Despite all the fun we have been having with Easter Eggs and other fun things of Easter, we have been sitting down every night, to go over our Resurrection Eggs, reading our bible, and making our Resurrection Egg folder (more on that later) we also have been talking about how the real reason for Easter isn't the candy, eggs, and Easter bunny, it's Jesus. Ethan has been sooo excited to open the white resurrection egg, and he was so amazed to find out out it was empty yesterday morning 🙂
We had a morning Easter Egg hunt, and breakfast at our house, with my dad, brother, sister-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, and niece. In the afternoon we had a get to gether at my Grandma's house, with lunch. It was a wonderful day spent with people we love, I couldn't have asked for a better day! In the late afternoon my day went down hill, due to the fact I developed a horrible migraine and ended up going to bed at 6:00, while Jake took care of the house and kids for the night, it is thankfully gone this morning, but I didn't end up getting lots of things done I was supposed to, including my Easter post on the blog 🙁
I pray that everyone had a safe and wonderful Easter filled with celebrations for the REAL meaning of Easter, Jesus Christ giving his life so we could be forgiven of our sins! I got a great email yesterday from God's daily promises that I thought was wonderful I'm sharing it and ending on that note, have a wonderful week…
Bread of Life
One of the women who lingered at the foot of the cross had once known thirst that ordinary water couldn't quench. She had been an outcast among her peers.…She had a great need, and nothing could fill the emptiness, the void within her. Then came the day when she met Jesus. Although her accusers had already given up on her and would readily have stoned her, Jesus saw her need, and rather than give up on her, he faced her accusers and saved not only her life but her soul as well. From that moment forward, Mary Magdalene was a devoted disciple of Christ, following him even to the foot of a brutal cross. When Jesus cried out in thirst, the soldiers mistook it for weakness of the flesh and thrust sour wine to his lips. What they didn't comprehend is that Jesus' words were a declaration of his completion of his Father's work. He was thirsty because he was being poured out as an offering, not only for the grateful woman who knelt at this feet but also for generations of people to come.
JESUS, you poured out your life like an offering and gave me living water that saved and restores my soul. Help me to take that same living water and extend it to those around me who are thirsty. Please us me to reach out to the abandoned, the scorned, the unlovable, with your sacrificial love.

Van Halen's popularity went through the roof in the 80s with the addition of Sammy Hagar and look, let's not get into a whole thing about Sammy vs Dave, but the fact is that the Van Halen Live Without A Net video was a landmark event in the lives of a great many guitarists of the era. At that time Eddie was playing Kramer guitars, and the 5150 Series – while clearly not a Kramer design – really represents Eddie's reinterpretation of that era of his career. The 5150 was launched with a Striped Series model, but now it's splitting off into its own supercharged shred-fiend line, complete with twin Wolfgang humbuckers and your option of the 5150 Series Standard in solid colours (Matte Army Drab, Rocket Red or Satin Primer Gray) or the 5150 Series Deluxe with Quilt Maple tops in Tobacco Burst or Transparent Blue Burst finish.
These guitars have so many features that we associate with the Wolfgang, including the heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, EVH frictionless volume pot and D-Tuna. The bodies are Basswood and the graphite-reinforced bolt-on quartersawn maple necks feature comfortable modified "C" profiles, hand-rubbed urethane back finishes and 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboards with 22 jumbo frets.
Wanna hear these guitars in action?

Monday 8 July 1940
|Operation Catapult, July 1940.
Convoy OA 179 departs from Methil.
Battle of the Mediterranean: Operation Catapult, the neutralization of the French fleet, continues. At Casablanca, British torpedo boats attack the French battleship, Jean Bart. In addition, the British attack Dakar for the second day without inflicting any major damage.
Italian submarine Guglielmo Marconi torpedoes Destroyer HMS Escort in the Western Mediterranean. The destroyer eventually sinks.
Admiral Cunningham in the Mediterranean is running Operation MA5, a convoy from Malta to Alexandria. He has provided massive protection for it, including virtually all of the Royal Navy forces in the Mediterranean. The Italian Navy under Admiral Campioni also is running an operation in the same general area covering a convoy to Benghazi. The British learn of the Italian operation and break off their own, but proceed to positions in the general vicinity of Taranto to intercept the Italians when they return to Italy. The Italians complete their own convoy and then learn of the British fleet presence. They arrange their own dispositions for possible fleet action. These are the preliminary stages of the Battle of Punta Stilo.
Force H under Admiral James Somerville, led by battlecruiser Hood and aircraft carrier Ark Royal, leaves Gibraltar to help cover the big Malta-Alexandria convoy and related operations.
At Malta, quarrymen dig out 30 new rock shelters near Luqa aerodrome. There are international press reports about recent raids on the island. There is an attempted raid at 14:20, but defending RAF fighters disperse it before it reaches the coast.
|Aircraft carrier HMS Hermes off Dakar during a convoy run. In the background, HMS Dorsetshire.
The fighter forces "mix it up" during the day, and the Luftwaffe shoots down 3 Spitfires and two Hurricanes. JG51 gets the kills.
Lt. Johann Bohm of 4./JG51 is forced down after being damaged in combat. He lands at Bladbean Hill, Elham, Kent. This gives the British a good Bf 109E to study and is the first largely undamaged Bf 109 to land in Great Britain. Coincidentally, later in the day another Bf 109E also lands later in the day at Sandwich, Kent, flown by Lt. A. Striberny of 3(J)./LG 2. This one is a Bf 109E-3. The British learn that there is heavier armor plating in the cockpit area on this series of aircraft.
Twin-engine Bf 110 Zerstorers are being used as fighter-bombers. A flight of them crosses the English coast at Dungeness and is intercepted by Spitfires from No. 54 Squadron. An escorting formation of Bf 109s then gets involved and shoots down two Spitfires and damages another.
Heinkel 111s of III./KG 54 attack industrial targets at Bristol.
RAF bombers attack Kiel, where heavy cruiser "Lützow" is being repaired following torpedo damage. A bomb hits the Lützow but fails to explode. They also raid Ostend, hitting a German supply ship, and also damage port infrastructure. The priority of RAF Bomber Command is shifting to the barges in canals in places like Zwolle, Haten, Weest, Elberg, and Deft.
RAF Fighter Command forms No. 10 Group for the defense of southwest England.
German/Swedish Relations: The governments sign a formal agreement permitting Wehrmacht troop and supplies transit on the Narvik railway under certain circumstances.
British/Swedish Relations: The British lodge a formal protest about the decision by Stockholm to allow German military transit on the Narvik railway.
Soviet/Finnish Relations: The Soviets demand transit privileges across Finnish territory to their base at Hango.
Soviet Military: The Soviets establish a Danube Flotilla on the territory they have occupied in Romania.
Swiss Military: The Swiss government mobilizes its army and allocates them to three Alpine fortresses. The Swiss have gotten wind of a German desk planning exercise, Operation Tannenbaum, the invasion of Switzerland. Hitler has some sort of grudge against Switzerland which leads to violent outbursts among his staff.
Japanese Military: The Imperial Japanese Navy launches battleship Yamato. Yamato has the largest guns in the world.
French Government: Free French leader Charles de Gaulle makes a BBC address in which he criticizes the British for their attacks on the French fleet, saying "all Frenchmen are dismayed."
The Vichy French prepare to withdraw their ambassador to the Court of St. James in London.
British Government: The nine divisions recovered from France are reorganized to face a possible invasion.
Norwegian Government: King Haakon refuses a request made by the German-controlled Storting (legislature) that he abdicate.
US Government: The US Joint War Planning Committee examines possibilities for the French island of Martinique in the Caribbean. The tentative plan is to send the US 1st Marine Brigade from New York to invade it.
British Homefront: Tea rationing begins, with 2 oz. per person per week. This is a big deal in the British Isles, with many extravagant literary expressions of calamity. This is a subtle but telling indication that the U-boat menace is real and growing.

The annual Blizzard Convention from video game maker Blizzard Entertainment has always attracted many enthusiasts. What can we expect from this year's event?
As Blizzard Entertainment released an official schedule of the annual game conference, many uttered their various expectations on what will be this year's conference will bring. The BlizzCon 2016 will hold e-sports tournaments after the opening ceremony, including the Overwatch World Cup Finals.
Other e-sport tournaments to be held in the 2-day event are StarCraft II WCS Global Finals, World of Warcraft Arena World Championship, Hearthstone World Championship and Heroes of the Storm Fall Championship.
BlizzCon 2016 will be held from Nov. 4 to 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. The conference will have three main events - the e-sports tournament, developer panel and live attendee activities.
Blizzard Entertainment is rumored to launch the Diablo 4 at BlizzCon 2016, according to VG 247. Diablo 4 is the game that has been long anticipated and game enthusiasts expected it to be released in BlizzCon 2016.
According to PC Gamer, the rumor of Diablo 4 began when a game enthusiast Rhykker posted a YouTube video that explain the few hints in the BlizzCon 2016 promo pack. In the video, Rhykker revealed the promo pack for the event contain some D4-four-sided die, which thrilled Diablo fan base as D4 may represent Diablo 4.
This year's event marked the 10th BlizzCon event. Blizzard uses the event to make special announcement of its game to the fans. Last year, the game maker announce the third installment of "Hearthstone, League of Explorers" and the new game "Overwatch."
Blizzard also announced the expansion of "World of Warcraft: Legion" and released the official trailer of the film "Warcraft."
Watch the video from Rhykker explaining the hint in promotion pack dice and what to expect from BlizzCon 2016.

Certain Foods Cause Labor
It's tough enough to navigate during the requisite nine months, so one minute past a woman's due date can turn even the happiest of mothers-to-be into the angry, get-this-baby-out-of-me-now sort. When such a level of desperation sets in, many women turn to so-called "labor-inducing" foods. Spicy selections tend to top the list of popular options. In fact, a research found that 10.9 percent of women surveyed turned to piquante cuisine in an effort to induce labor [source: Chaudhry et al]. Although this approach typically can't hurt, there's little evidence other than hearsay to back it up. In fact, experts believe that labor is probably initiated when the fetus itself starts to produce specific hormones, over which mama has no control [source: Caldwell].
Still, once a particular food gains a reputation for bringing on birth, it tends to catch on like wildfire. One legendary dish is eggplant parmesan produced by Scalini's Italian Restaurant in Smyrna, Georgia. Women swear by the dish's ability to kick off labor, even though scientific evidence is lacking to prove that eggplant smothered in cheese and sauce has any influence over the induction process. "I was late with my second pregnancy with no signs of labor," recalls my friend Cristy Daly. "I decided to try the dish and successfully went into labor a few hours later with contractions that were one minute apart. We now have a Scalini's baby."

Marriage is a wonderful blessing that combines two willing people who want to spend the rest of their lives together. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines marriage as "the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law [and] the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage." The act of a marriage is conducted at a wedding ceremony. Religions will also play an important roll in the wedding ceremony.
Planning a wedding ceremony is time consuming, expensive, and sometimes stressful. A traditional American wedding invites family and friends to both the ceremony where the religious and official marriage is formed and a reception where the celebration begins. There is so much planning that the bride and groom may forget some of the after effects of a wedding such as changing last names.
Traditionally, brides drop their maiden last name and pick up their husband's last name. Since people are getting married later in life, more brides are choosing to keep their maiden last name for professional reasons. Other brides who choose to keep their maiden name after marriage could simply prefer their maiden name or find the tradition old fashion.
If the bride plans on taking her husband's last name after the marriage ceremony the following will need to happen. One critical piece not to forget or ignore is that changing the bride's last name after marriage takes at least a few weeks. Many government departments are involved in the name changing process and many documents will need to be changed. Therefore, if the couple plans on taking a honeymoon after the marriage, they should make the reservations with the bride's maiden name. Airlines and other travel related companies are not forgiving to this frequent oversight.
Here are the steps needed if the bride is changing her name after marriage.
- The first item needed in changing a last name is evidence of the reason for the name change and documentation of the new name. This can all be found on the marriage license. Most states require the license to be sent in to the state after the ceremony. It is important to check to see if the state issuing the license will send a copy to the bride and groom or if they will need to call to order a copy.
- Once the license has been issued, the next stop is the social security office. Most social security offices will have a list of other documents needed to obtain a new social security card with a changed last name. Those documents frequently include an official government photo identification and birth certificate. Make sure to check the local social security office's website for a list of the exact documents needed.
- With a new social security card, a driver's license is next. A driver's license is an easy change if bringing all of the necessary documents. The documents needed are proof of name change (social security card), government photo identification (previous license), and proof of residency (previous license if in the same state).
- The final things to consider when changing a last name after marriage are credit cards, passports, bills, mortgage, and employer documents.

When Rutherford did his experiments the generally held view of matter was that it contained a mixture of positive and negative particles but that it was solid, with no space between the individual particles. Physicists also knew that like charges would repel and opposite charges would attract and that the closer together the charges were the stronger the interaction between them.
Rutherford designed an elegant experiment in which he used alpha particles, given off in the decay of radioactive isotopes, as his bullets. The alpha particles were known to have a positive charge. He set up targets consisting of thin films of various metals, primarily gold. Around the film, opposite the "gun" he placed a flourescent screen that would glow if hit by the alpha particles.
When he ran his experiments he found that most of the time the alpha particles went right through the metal film, as if there was nothing being hit by the particles. Occasionally the particles would deflect (bend) a little bit, and very rarely the alpha particles would bounce off at a greater angle or even bounce back toward the gun. Rutherford described it as if a cannon ball hit a sail on a ship and bounced back at the cannon that had fired the ball.
After numerous experiments and observations he determined that the metal films were not really solid but mostly empty space. Because of the behavior of the alpha particles he also concluded that something inside the film had a strongly positive charge that was deflecting the alpha particles when they came close. Furthermore, that positive charge was strong enough to actually stop the flight of the alpha particle and reverse its direction.
Rutherford contributed greatly to understanding in greater detail the structure of the atom.
Posted on
Rutherford built an experiment that has come to be known as the gold foil experiment or the Geiger-Marsden experiment. Rutherford fired a very narrow beam of alpha particles which were positively charged and assumed that the particles would be deflected only by a few degrees.
In the course of the experiment, they found that a majority of the particles were deflected at close to or even ninety degrees, suggesting to Rutherford that the actual charge-carrying nucleus of an atom must be relatively dense and also positively charged.
