Here's the situation: I am a junior software engineer and I am part of a team of two developers. I was paired up with a software developer lead who worked on the front end section for the software. In addition, I was working on the back end section of the software.
The software developer lead decided to resign after one year into the project. I had to learn the code he applied on the front end including the APIs he was using.
The Problem: When I was paired up with another software engineer lead, I ended up doing most of the work since he did not set his development environment and he does not have a lot of experience with the front end APIs. He's a nice guy but is not providing any help with the code. He is taking more than two weeks to set up the development environment. Thus, I am getting pushed hard to add a lot of features on the front end and back end by myself.
Conclusion: I was thinking about looking for another job since I already have one year and 5 months of experience. However, I don't know if this is the right thing to do. The project manager knows about the situation but still only pushes me.
I think I might get terminated due to the fact that this is a lot of work for me to handle.
Thanks for reading my post!

I've recently been out shooting with the new Sony a6400 mirrorless camera. This is the latest in the smaller APS-C cropped mirrorless cameras in the Sony Alpha range (they also have full-frame cameras in the Alpha range, such as the a7r III).
It has a 24.2 MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor and Sony's BIONZ X on-board image processor. What I'm focusing on here is the stills performance through the ISO range, which goes from ISO 100 to a whopping ISO 102400.
Native ISO vs Extended ISO
But that's not to say that all of that ISO range is equal. The Sony a6400 has an ISO range from 100 through 102400. Not all of that is "true" ISO range–also known as native ISO range–that's down to the responsiveness of the sensor itself. The native ISO range is 100 through 32000.
To get above that, you need to tap into the extended ISO range, where the where software takes over to boost the signal and cleans up the image.
In practice, the performance in the native ISO range is much better than in the extended range. But even within the native ISO, as you move higher you start getting more noise/grain, less dynamic range, and less accurate color rendition. Once you get into the extended range, those flaws become much more noticeable more quickly. Which makes these very high ISOs more like break-the-glass options than for everyday shooting. But if you are going up to those very high ISOs, you'll probably get better results when shooting JPG. That's because the camera's built-in processor is optimized to deal with the specific characteristics of the images produced by this camera. You might well be able to get similar results yourself using other apps, but it's likely to involve a fair amount of processing and tweaking.
ISO Range Examples
Here's a couple of sets of images I shot with the a6400 throughout the ISO range to illustrate the ISO performance. The first set was shot using a tripod; the second was shot hand-held.
Both were shot in Aperture priority mode, with only the ISO being adjusted between each shot and the camera recalculating the exposure each time to provide some relative consistency.
There are a few things to note about displaying the images. These were all shot in RAW + JPG. When shooting JPG, the camera automatically processes the images in-camera, and with higher ISO images, that includes noise reduction that's geared specifically to this camera's capabilities. So, by default, the JPGs include noise reduction.
When shooting RAW, that noise reduction is also applied by default to them embedded JPG previews but doesn't affect the underlying RAW data. For all of these, I've had Lightroom regenerate the preview from the RAW data, which means that you're not seeing the camera's noise reduction applied. I have left Lightroom's default sharpening on (40, 1.0, 25, 0), which has a relatively light touch.
There are a few ways to get a closer look. To see a full-size JPG generated from the RAW files, click on each image. You can also see the camera-processed JPG versions and the unadulterated RAW versions by clicking on the links to the originals of those in the caption under each image. Each RAW file is about 25MB and each JPG about 4 to 11 megabytes in filesize, give or take.
ISO Example Photos Set #1
ISO Example Photos Set #2
This set starts higher up in the range. These were shot hand-held, which is why there's some slight misalignment between them.

OKMagazine.com: Your book, Pride Over Pity, is finally out! What was it like getting so personal?
Kailyn Lowry: Honestly, writing the book and everything that was involved in it was so therapeutic for me because there were things I literally wrote down and haven't thought about them since. Not that I forgot, but I don't think about them every day. It's not weight on my shoulders anymore. So it was a very big therapeutic thing for me.
OKMagazine.com: One of the first things you talk about in your book is losing your virginity in 8th grade on the sidewalk. How do you feel about that now as you look back?
KL: I feel naïve, dumb, immature. I don't want to say I regret it, because obviously I wouldn't know or feel how I feel now if I regretted it, but it was definitely a learning experience and I would definitely encourage girls not to have sex so young.
Excerpt From Pride Over Pity: "The concrete sidewalk had no summer warmth. Suddenly, my pants and underwear were pulled down…Our movements and his touch were unromantic. When it was over, I ran home, blood trickling down my leg. I was too young to understand that I wasn't ready— physically or emotionally— for sex. I believed then that I had to have sex to keep up with my friends."
OKMagazine.com: You also go into detail in the book about getting raped twice, and you got an abortion as a result of the first rape. Were you angry at your mom for forcing you to get an abortion at 16?
KL: Looking back, I know why I should have had one because I was 16. I didn't have a license. I didn't have a job. I had nothing. I was literally with my mom and I don't know if I even had my first job at that point. Now as a 22-year-old, I see what the circumstances were. But how my mom went about it and the things she said, I think she was embarrassed. So I get upset, but I think now looking back, it was the right decision.
Excerpt From Pride Over Pity: "Toby wouldn't take no for an answer. I didn't want to sleep with [him], but he persisted. Denying him seemed fruitless. I believed Toby loved me, so I decided I could give him this one thing as long as he wore a condom. He ignored my one request and I took my first pregnancy test at fifteen in a Walmart bathroom."
OKMagazine.com: Are you worried now that this is all out in the open?
KL: Yes, and I was actually scared that someone was going to try and sell my abortion story before it had come out and I was able to write about it myself. That was one of my deepest fears.
Excerpt From Pride Over Pity: "She was adamant that I would not be allowed to deliver this baby into the world, even though deep down that was what I wanted. I swear they didn't just suck out my uterus, it felt as though they had taken every fiber of my being…I felt a mother's grief. The experience had been so horrific for me that I couldn't really bear to consider it as an option again. Once was almost impossible to recover from, twice would mean falling into a deep depression and never bobbing up for air."
OKMagazine.com: You also talk about some other scary things in the book that happened more recently. Can you tell us about how you felt when you found out that Jo cheated on you while pregnant with Isaac?
KL: I wish I could describe it. I just always had a knot in my stomach. I felt like I was going to throw up. Because I never really knew if we were going to work out and then catching him and him telling me, it's like, how are you supposed to feel? And then it's like, do you stay with them and live with the embarrassment that he cheated on you? Thankfully I have Javi and I am where I am now. That was hard for me.
OKMagazine.com: And something we didn't see on 16 & Pregnant was that when he was a baby, Isaac suffered from seizures…
KL: It [happened] in my lap. And that was the first time I had ever been in an ambulance in my life. And I just didn't know where to go to for support because my mom has been in and out and then Jo was always at work, so I didn't really know who I could count on to be there for me. When you have kids, they become your world. So I just felt like, was it something I did? Was it something that could have been prevented in the future? It was so hard.
OKMagazine.com: And of course a big part of the book is your strained relationship with your mom. What has having her as a mother taught you about yourself?
KL: I learned what mother I don't want to be. I learned how to do things differently than my mom did, probably the complete opposite. But I actually also learned that now I have closure and I understand people are who they are. And while I felt like my whole life my mom chose liquor and drugs over me, that's not really the case. They kind of overtook her life. Life is too short to hold grudges against her and blame her for what she did in the past. She is who she is and I accept it and have closure and have peace for myself. I can't stay mad at her forever.
OKMagazine.com: Anything else in the book that you want your fans to know?
KL: I just I think the biggest thing for me is that I just hope that younger girls are reading this. I hope they really take away the things I've been through and are just more careful and don't have sex for as long as they can. You just never know what could happen.

ProCraft are fast gaining recognition within boating circles in South East Queensland. The well turned out fibreglass hulls are produced by a renowned southern Queensland manufacturer of many years standing, then transported to Coastal Powerboats of Burleigh on the Gold Coast where they are fully fitted out and equipped with motors.
The end product shows the result of using top-shelf products. All stainless work is US sourced to ensure longevity, the best upholstery is used and emphasis is on quality throughout rather than just saving dollars. The ProCraft range also offers great value for money, as will be seen later.
The reviewed 6.2 Walkaround Hardtop was presented on a Dunbier trailer and was finished in a gleaming white gel coat with contrasting dark blue stripe just below the decks. Powered by a 150 Suzuki 4-stroke, this boat was a treat to drive and a pleasure to be aboard. In many respects it had great potential as either a family-oriented day or weekend cruiser, or as a dedicated rig for a group of keen anglers to run offshore in search of a feed of fish.
Up front the impressive metal work started with a strong ladder to allow easy entry or exit at a beach or dock. A sturdy bow roller and associated anchor hatch were easily reached via the flat area up front of the cuddy, or by opening the cabin hatch which was just aft of the anchor well.
The ProCraft's wide walkaround area on the outer section of the cuddy cab is very user friendly thanks to the ample hand holds offered by the hard top's superstructure, and it's easy to reach the bow area. However, most people would likely attend ground tackle via the cuddy cab's hatch which was wide enough to make things easy.
The attractively styled cuddy cabin came equipped with elliptical windows and was set up with very comfortable deeply padded V berths with storage space under them which, at their rear, came with bulkhead foot rests for skipper and mate. The cabin featured full-length and quite wide overhead shelving, and with its open access was very well ventilated, light and airy. Floor depth was excellent while the twin options of having a Porta Potti up front as well as a bunk infill to enhance the sleeping area would also have appeal to buyers.
A sleek moulded fascia extended full width across the front of the cuddy cab and then extended aft to become part of the internal side area of the craft. Up front it was joined by the craft's windscreen and side windows, the latter extending almost all the way back to the framework linked to the moulded hard top. Clearly, both skipper and mate would be well protected from the elements in this area. However, I also liked the option of opening one or both of the sliding windows aft of the windscreen and opening the zip-equipped clears above the dash area if the day was a hot one. In general terms the layout was very user friendly, with plenty of comfort all round.
The side moulding/fascia section came equipped with a grab handle and locking glove box for the front passenger, while a larger area extending down in front of the skipper formed a convenient dash area for instruments and gauges. Uppermost were paired Garmin gauges (GMI 20s) to monitor every function of the Suzuki 150, and immediately below was a 12" Raymarine sounder plotter unit. The ignition key was lower and set to port of the steering wheel, with a set of switches to starboard. Forward controls for the engine were handy by the skipper's arm, on the side.
Completing the round-up of major features for the skipper was the marine radio and sound system set up at the front of the hard top, easily reached yet entirely out of the weather. The hard top also sported six rod holders at its rearmost section.
At the helm area, skipper and mate were pampered by deeply upholstered wraparound bucket seats on pedestals. These were very comfortable, and I noted full visibility from both skipper's and mate's seats.
Cockpit features were suited to both family boaters and keen anglers. A non-skid floor was standard, with any water draining into a sump aft for removal via a bilge pump. Up front, between the seats, was a decent sized under floor storage box ideal for either extra kit or the catch of the day.
The cockpit proper was quite large, had an interior side depth of 83cm and came with 3m long side pockets. It also featured a comfy, backrest-equipped, four person aft seat which could be lifted up out of the way to provide extra work room when fishing was a priority. Gunwale grab handles, two rod holders per side plus drink holders were all in the right places. A bait tank to starboard plus a locking boarding gate next to a stainless ladder were also transom features.
At 7m overall length with a 2.5m beam, the ProCraft 6.2 Walkaround was a solid craft, as noted by its 750kg dry hull weight. Power options were from 130-175 horsepower, and the 150 Suzuki on the test boat had not the slightest problem powering the rig yet offering handy cost savings over maximum power.
The hull planed easily at 14.8km/h at 2500 rpm; 3000rpm returned 20.5km/h, 4000rpm saw 37.3km/h while 5000 rpm recorded 62.4km/h. Speeds were recorded with two persons aboard.
The 2.8L 4-cylinder 150 Suzuki 4-stroke was virtually soundless at idle and only when pushing up around the 4500 to 5000rpm mark did it make its presence felt with some deep growling. I found the engine responsive, willing to perform virtually at all revs and a great match for the ProCraft hull.
Ride and handling were excellent. In modest chop within the Gold Coast Seaway the deep V glass hull moved freely and without any bangs or wallops, which was much as I expected. Handling was fingertip easy thanks to hydraulic steering, and despite the considerable size of the rig even a newbie to boating would be comfortable behind the wheel.
The ProCraft was quite stable and even with two of us on one side it wasn't inclined to lean, thanks to a hull configuration which featured large reversed outer chines plus a flat central planing plank. As a fishing craft I'd see the ProCraft's attributes earning it full marks as a useful offshore rig, yet the big seven person hull would be equally suited to bay and estuary work as well.
The ProCraft 6.2 Walkaround hardtop was keenly priced by Coastal Powerboats (07 5568 0904). With a 140hp Suzuki fitted the hard top is offered with Dunbier tandem trailer plus safety gear and registrations for around $55,990. mark. The rig as reviewed complete with deluxe Raymarine unit, 150hp upgrade, stereo system and bow ladder would come home for $72,265. Further information is available at www.procraftboats.com.au .

First published June 15, 1999 - More info
It seems we live in increasing complexity, and the world of signal transduction is no different. The orderly, linear pathways that just a few years ago appeared to link the cell surface to the nucleus have led to a twisting road with an array of intersecting and overlapping cascades. The fascinating study by Sah and colleagues in this issue (1) adds wonderfully to the present understanding of our location on this changing roadmap.
Cardiomyocytes have a limited repertoire of responses. Faced with a number of seeming diverse insults ranging from ischemia/reperfusion, adrenergic stimulation, or hemodynamic overload, myocytes respond by undergoing cellular hypertrophy. This process appears to be repeated faithfully when neonatal myocytes in culture are exposed to a variety of ligands or mechanical forces. Several years ago, in a pioneering study from the laboratory of Ken Chien, the path by which cardiomyocytes undergo hypertrophy began to unravel. These investigators expressed an activated form of the Ras oncogene in neonatal myocytes and subsequently noted that the cells underwent a classical hypertrophic response, including the re-expression of embryonic genes such as atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), an increase in cell size, and the production of sarcomeric structures (2).
Although these studies demonstrated that Ras was capable of stimulating hypertrophy, they left unanswered which proteins were downstream of Ras. Many of Ras effects in proliferating cells result from its ability to form a molecular complex with the protein kinase c-Raf and subsequently to activate the family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). However, it soon became clear that in cardiomyocytes, activation of MAPK could not be the sole pathway for hypertrophy. Several reports noted that activation of MAPK did not always correlate with induction of hypertrophy (3) and that expression of dominant negative forms of either c-Raf or MAPK could not completely abolish ligand-stimulated hypertrophy (4, 5). In addition, there was no evidence of increased MAPK activity in transgenic mice that overexpressed an activated Ras gene (6), although there was significant ventricular hypertrophy.
In the search for other Ras effectors, a considerable amount of attention has centered lately on the Rho family of small GTPases, a family that includes Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. The interest in this family exploded after the demonstration that these proteins regulate cytoskeleton reorganization and that they synergize with Ras or Raf in growth and transformation assays (7). A role for the Rho GTPases in myocyte hypertrophy is supported by several recent studies demonstrating the effects of activated and dominant negative forms of RhoA on hypertrophic target gene expression (8–11). The effects of RhoA on the morphological aspects of hypertrophy were less clear, with recent reports giving conflicting results (9, 10). Similarly, expression of an activated form of Rac1 appeared to stimulate the hypertrophic program while expression of a dominant negative Rac gene product was inhibitory (11, 12).
In fibroblasts there is a hierarchy of small GTP-binding proteins, with Ras able to stimulate Cdc42, which can then stimulate Rac, which can in turn stimulate RhoA (7). Whether a similar hierarchy exists in other cells is unknown. Both Cdc42 and Rac can regulate the activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and the p38 kinase family. Ras proteins can also weakly stimulate JNK, perhaps by activating Rac or alternatively by directly activating MEKK1 (see Figure 1). A flurry of recent reports have implicated the activation of JNK and p38 in the hypertrophic response (6, 13–17). However, simultaneous activation of JNK and p38 appears not to lead to hypertrophy but instead to cell death (15, 18). These results may provide insight into the molecular pathway that could explain the point at which an adaptive hypertrophic response becomes a maladaptive myopathy.
The potential role of small GTPases in cardiac hypertrophy. Small GTPases are shown in blue, their immediate and more distal effectors are shown in green and the potentially relevant targets in yellow. Although drawn as linear pathways, each cascade is capable of multiple intersections. As an example, the small GTPases can interact with each other and MEKK1 can potentially participate in more than one pathway.
Since RhoA does not usually stimulate JNK or p38, how does it contribute to hypertrophy? One explanation is by regulating the activity of transcription factors such as the serum response factor. Alternatively, in smooth muscle cells, RhoA, through Rho-kinase (one of its downstream effectors), appears to regulate the phosphorylation status of myosin light chain (7). The role of myosin light chain phosphorylation in cardiac muscle cells is unclear. Interestingly, however, mutation of the cardiac myosin regulatory light chain, near the site of phosphorylation, produces significant cardiac hypertrophy in patients who inherit the mutant allele (19).
Given this background, it is somewhat surprising that there was no evidence of ventricular hypertrophy when Sah and colleagues overexpressed RhoA in the myocardium (1). Instead the authors observed atrial enlargement and a greatly depressed heart rate. Although these results might question the validity of the widely used in vitro neonatal cell model, they more likely reflect the embryonic pattern of expression of RhoA when it is coupled with the α-myosin heavy chain promoter. The observed pattern of ventricular dilation may merely be secondary to the atrial phenotype or, alternatively, it is possible that high RhoA activity in the ventricle may produce an apoptotic response. Interestingly, the observed bradycardia may relate to another newly described downstream effector of RhoA — the delayed rectifier channel (20). It appears likely that in the near future other small GTPases will be implicated in cardiac channel regulation.
The small GTPases, nature's most versatile switches, appear to play an ever-expanding and interconnecting role in myocyte biology. Their ultimate function in hypertrophy and excitability requires further experimentation; going down that long and winding road, Sah and colleagues (1) remind us that there will undoubtedly be some wonderful twists and turns.

Wireless charging technology: simple, safe and convenient
Christine Ottoni • June 21, 2018if( has_post_thumbnail( $post_id ) ): ?>
Our guide to wireless charging technology
One day, here at Ting HQ, we looked around and noticed a lot of us had wireless charging phones, but none of us were making use of wireless charging technology on a regular basis.
Truthfully, when we got those phones, we were pretty excited about the idea of tossing our phone on a wireless charging pad and forever ditching the cluttered world of cords and adaptors.
There's really no reason we shouldn't be using wireless charging. Qi is the open interface standard for wireless chargers and is widely available in a ton of affordable charging pads today.
Today, we're going to dive into the basics of wireless charging technology. We'll cover how it works, how it affects battery life, share some phones that work with wireless charging (and are available in the Ting Shop) and give you some insight into our favorite Qi charger on the market today.
Qi: the standard for wireless charging
Wireless charging tech has been around for a long time. Today, the standard is Qi and lots of different Qi-compatible chargers came out on the market. There are a ton available online and in stores that will work with any Qi compatible phone.
How does wireless charging work
All you have to do is place your phone face up on a wireless charging mat or tabletop. Voila, you are now charging wirelessly.
Basically, wireless charging works by transferring energy from the charging mat to a receiver in your phone's back via electromagnetic induction. One part of a transformer (a coil) is in the mat and the other part of a transformer (another coil) is in the back of your phone.
When electricity flows through the coil in the mat it produces a magnetic field. Energy flows from the coil in the mat to the coil in the back of your phone. Your phone and the charger have to be pretty close together for wireless charging to work. Once these coils are next to each other, electromagnetic induction takes place and charges your phone.
Is wireless charging safe?
Wireless charging is very safe. The electromagnetic field created by the charger and picked up by your phone is, relatively speaking, fairly small and weak. To put it in a bit of context, wireless charging technology is the same kind of tech you'll see in your average electric toothbrush.
Does wireless charging reduce battery life?
Wireless charging actually has a lower current compared to wired charging. This is because the coils are separated by space and glass or plastic (on your charging pad and on the back of your phone). Wireless charging is thought to provide a more stable charging environment for batteries than wired charging.
Wireless charging phones
iPhone X isn't the only phone out there that can charge wirelessly. Check out these phones, all available in the Ting Shop, that support Qi wireless charging.
Best wireless chargers
There are a lot of Qi wireless chargers available online today and they're pretty affordable, starting in the $10 to $20 range.
We love Ikea's range of wireless chargers because they look great and integrate well with furniture like tables and lamps. Most of the ones available on Amazon are black and circular and aren't necessarily the nicest looking (assuming home decor is important to you).
Is wireless charging worth it?
We like to think so. With wireless charging technology, you can say goodbye to cords forever. Give your battery a boost with a stable charge. We love the futuristic feeling of wireless charging and how easy it is to integrate into a home office space.
Do you wireless charge? Let us know in the comments.

It's been a busy old week, and alongside knocking one's pan in at work, there's been a rash of birthdays to be dealt with, including my own. This was drawn to my attention by The Pensioner, when she tore a strip off me on the phone for being a neglectful auntie and forgetting everyone's birthdays. This was slightly ironic as Mama, herself, had clearly forgotten what she was doing 44 years ago to the day and didn't get round to wishing me a happy birthday. Like mother, like daughter, I thought to myself.
It was with the sound of the phone being slammed down still ringing in my ears, that I was accused of shoplifting at WH Smith's the very next day. I was caught red-handed at the Post office counter, hurriedly stuffing niece number one's birthday present into an unpaid-for Jiffy bag containing an unpaid-for birthday card with a cute kitten on the front. Just as I was writing the kisses on the card with a great flourish, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Simultaneously and, as usual, just a little too late, I realised what I was doing.
The hand belonged to the irate shop assistant who had been standing behind me saying "Excuse me…excuse me…EXCUSE ME!" in an ever louder voice. The fact that I seemed to be ignoring her only added to her suspicions. I now severely regretted my decision to ditch the hearing aid in favour of the i-Pod that morning, especially since its musical ear-muffs properties had already got me into trouble. Earlier, as I walked up a pedestrianised street, lost in thought, the van driver who had been following me at 2mph for 500 metres in an attempt to get past, made his own thoughts quite clear to me in Glasgow sign language.
Fortunately, the shop assistant dealing with the Jiffy bag incident seemed to be accustomed to disorganised and distracted people desperately trying to get last-minute birthday presents into the first post on their way to work. After giving a brief explanation of my errant behaviour, I was despatched, red-faced, to the till to pay for my accidentally stolen goods.

Strickland plays tough-as-nails doctor Charlotte King, whose world is jolted on this week's episode by a violent rape. It's not just an opportunity to show Strickland's range as an actress, but also to help others.
"No one can take for granted just what a huge, huge issue this is in our country," Strickland said in an interview Wednesday.
"It happens every two minutes," she said, citing a statistic from the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. "Someone's attacked. When you think about that, you know, our show's an hour long. That's 30 people."
Strickland also has a personal connection to the issue. She recalled being at a hospital alongside a friend who had just been sexually assaulted. During the taping of this week's episode, the man accused of raping Strickland's friend was found guilty.
"Private Practice" creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes took a strong interest in the story line and wrote the episode.
"I wanted to talk about rape from the perspective of the survivor," Rhimes said. Her goal was "to illuminate and give voice to the experience of rape survivors as opposed to law enforcement or someone from the outside looking in."
During Thursday's episode, a series of public service announcements on sexual assault will air.
Both Strickland and Rhimes wanted to make sure "Private Practice" didn't just address the rape in a single episode. The story will linger.
"One of the things Shonda and I were very clear about is ... I said, 'It can't go away.' She said, 'No. I hate when they do that.' Four episodes and hands are clean. ... I believe, as does Shonda, that as long as this show is on the air and Charlotte King is a part of it, this will be a part of her."
"Private Practice" isn't the only primetime show fighting sexual assaults. Actress AnnaLynne McCord plays a character on "90210" who was recently raped by a teacher at her school.
Off camera, McCord advocates on behalf of sexual abuse survivors.
"It's already an issue that I work strongly to speak out about," explained McCord in a recent interview. "I'm very blessed to have a position where ... people hear me and hopefully listen."
At least one anti-sexual assault organization is hopeful about this primetime TV platform.
"Unfortunately it is a silent crime for many survivors who haven't spoken out or gotten help," said Katherine Hull, the communications vice president of RAINN. "It's important that we speak about it in a public way."
"90210" airs Mondays on the CW at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
"Private Practice" airs Thursdays on ABC at 10 p.m. Eastern time.

What to do when it's done
You've brainstormed, researched, planned, scrapped, rehashed, and FINALLY decide: you are using a poppet to deliver your curse. You've activated your creation, applied the curse, and the poppet is busily doing its thing and carrying out your wishes. Life is good and you couldn't be happier. There's only one little glitch: Have you ever considered what to do once the curse is done?
Fact of the matter is that you just can't leave the poppet on your alter. You are going to have to do something with it. Do you put it away somewhere? Find it new living quarters? If not, there's eventually going to be a space problem.
But even if that weren't the case, you wouldn't want the poppet just hanging around, infusing your space with its energy. It is imperative that the energy be sealed away from you. This means that you're going to have to dispose of the poppet.
There are several ways you can do this, and for your convenience, the most common methods are listed below. Since all work equally well, just choose the one with which you are most comfortable.
As you may have guessed, this method involves burying the poppet and is a very simple process. It's only a matter of digging a hole, tossing in the doll, adding a little graveyard dirt and covering it up. Because the doll isn't biodegradable though, many people aren't willing to use this option.
There is, however, a more environmentally-conscious solution. Just place the doll in a small container, sprinkle it well with graveyard dirt, and seal the container by covering it completely with duct tape. You can then either put it in your freezer or take it to the dumpster with your trash.
While the original method was as easy as tossing the poppet into a body of running water—or maybe, even the sewer—there's a more environmentally-friendly approach to accomplish the task. Just place the doll in a quart container, cover with War Water, and seal well with duct tape. Then toss it in your freezer and forget about it.
Don't want the poppet living in your freezer? There is an alternative method, provided you have the time and space to utilize it. Use Swamp Water. This will eat away at the poppet. Place the doll in a bucket filled with the substance (be sure to fill the body cavities with the liquid to prevent floating), cover the top, and leave it outside until the whole mess dissolves. Know, though, that you may have to add more Swamp Water before the process is completed.
This method of disposal is definitely easy, but as it requires a trip to an isolated area, it may take some advanced planning. Once you get to the place of your choice, all you have to do is leave the doll there, exposed to the Elements, and walk away. It's important, however, that you don't look back.
This is, by far, the easiest and least time-consuming method of all. Just build a fire in your cauldron—either with wood or charcoal briquettes—and toss the doll on the pyre. Tend the fire until the poppet is past the melting point and is nothing but ash, then bury the ashes when cool.
As a preventative measure though, you'll want to clean your cauldron thoroughly after using it in this fashion. Scrub it with steel wool and a salt slurry, then rinse well with hot water. Dry and lightly oil your cauldron.
As always, in closing I leave you with this; INTENT. My intention is to provide ideas and open minds to their discussion, from which we all may learn. With certain ventures, however, I must advise caution. I put to you that I have no desire to harm anyone. Any discussions from this posting are to be academic only. I seek no practical application, neither do I have desire for knowledge of such. Please keep your comments civil.

If you've spent much time in the online comedy sphere, you've probably encountered the work of female-focused satire site Reductress, which regularly skewers the vapid content that magazine publishers try to sell to women, offering up headlines like "Woman Quits Job In Order To Hydrate Full-Time," and "8 Guys On Tinder That Have Been To Machu Picchu But Never To Therapy."
Now, that same wit and feminist-focused style will potentially be applied to the world of late-night talk, with THR reporting that Comedy Central has tapped the site's co-creators, Beth Newell and Sarah Pappalardo, to create a pilot for The Reductress Hour. Starring former Saturday Night Live cast member Abby Elliott—playing an in-character send-up of "women's media" hosts—the planned series will "take on the absurdities of women's news, trends, broader national issues and entertainment television" in the style of the Webby-winning site.
It's worth noting that Comedy Central's current line-up of original content skews decidedly male right now—not that it's ever been great on that particular score—with Trevor Noah and Jordan Klepper anchoring its weekday nights, shows like Tosh.0 and Nathan For You dominating its schedules regularly, and Broad City ending after its upcoming fifth season. The Reductress Hour is presumably, at least in part, an effort to correct that trend—as well as a chance to get jokes like "How To Get Men To Chase You But Not When You're Jogging At Night" and "How To Make The Most Of The Gap Between When He Interrupted You And When He Remembered What He Was Going To Say" their proper day in the sun.

Suge Knight Collapses After $25M Bail Set
LOS ANGELES (CN) – Marion "Suge" Knight collapsed in court Friday after a judge set bail at $25 million in his murder case, according to reports.
After the hearing in Compton, Knight was taken to a jail hospital ward, the Los Angeles Times reports. L.A. County prosecutor Cynthia Barnes said she believed Knight "did it in front of the cameras."
Last month, Knight, 49, pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder, and hit-and-run charges. According to prosecutors, Knight ran over two men with his pickup in the parking lot of Tam's Burgers on Rosecrans Avenue on Jan. 29, near a set where crews were filming a promotion for the "Straight Outta Compton" movie, about rap group N.W.A.
Knight is accused of killing his longtime friend Terry Carter, 55, and critically injuring film technician Cle Denyale "Bone" Sloan, 51, after an argument related to the filming of the "Straight Outta Compton" spot.

Biomass Smoke from Southern Africa Can Significantly Enhance the Brightness of Stratocumulus Over the Southeastern Atlantic Ocean
Aerosol and cloud interactions remain one of the largest uncertainties in model projections of future climate change. During the fire season (July-September) of Southern Africa, a large portion of biomass burning (BB) aerosols is transported over the southeastern Atlanta, where semi-permanent stratocumulus deck resides. The colocation of BB aerosols and stratocumulus provides an ideal venue for studying aerosol-cloud interactions. In our study, using high-resolution model simulations in conjunction with satellite observations, we find that at ~50% of the times BB smoke is mixed with the semi-permanent stratocumulus decks underneath. This mixing causes a substantial cooling (daily mean −8.05 W m−2) over S.E. Atlantic during the fire season (July-September), primarily as a result of clouds brightening by reducing the cloud droplet size (the Twomey effect) and secondarily through modulating the diurnal cycle of cloud liquid water path and coverage (the cloud lifetime effect).
Biomass smoke from southern Africa can significantly cool the regional climate by enhancing the brightness of stratocumulus over S.E. Atlantic. This study helps to improve our understanding of aerosol effects on clouds and regional climate.
Using a state-of-the-art model in combination with satellite observations, we found that BB aerosols that are entrained into the clouds function as cloud condensation nuclei, and increase the brightness of stratocumulus clouds (indirect effect). This indirect effect dominates the direct and semi-direct effects of BB aerosols over this region.

Main Certifications
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System
The environmental management system compliant with ISO 14001 is a reference to develop voluntary environmental protection measures , from energy savings and climate protection, to waste disposal.
Our auditors will identify the weakness areas of your environmental management system and lay the foundation for a process of continuous and verifiable improvement, so reducing environmental risks and improving its environmental analysis in the long term, in addition to ensuring compliance with the applicable law.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) based on ISO 14001 enables an organization to pursue and implement policies which take into account legal requirements and information about significant environmental aspects.
An environmental management system can be integrated with other certification schemes; in particular, the integration with the schema for the quality based on the ISO 9001 standard finds particular benefits both in terms of documentation efficiency and of overall shortening of verification time.
ISO 14001 issued by CSI will allow to:
• Implement a plan to reduce emissions and waste discharge
• Reach its environmental aims
• Save through a focused approach to resources
• Reduce the risk of environmental responsibility (less chance of environmental accidents and therefore of environmental and economic damage)
• Ensure full compliance with customer requirements and mandatory requirements
• Promote environmental friendly behaviour among employees
• Improve company image by customers, partners and the community
• Simplify access to financing channels

With Art Basel once again descending upon Hong Kong from March 29 to 31, nearly 250 galleries (half from Asia-Pacific) from 32 countries provide buyers, dealers and art lovers with the chance to gain new perspectives and immerse themselves in an unrivalled depth and breadth of artistic diversity.
Art Basel Hong Kong
The 2018 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong features 248 galleries from 32 countries, half of the exhibitors coming from Asia-Pacific. The show provides an in-depth overview of the region's artistic diversity through traditional works and contemporary pieces by established and emerging artists. The Galleries sector presents art from leading modern and contemporary art galleries, showcasing paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations and digital works from the 20th and 21st centuries. The Kabinett sector returns with 30 carefully curated projects displayed within booths belonging to various galleries, with projects encompassing conceptual solo presentations by well-known and not-so well-known artists. The Encounters part of the fair is dedicated to large scale sculpture and installation works by leading artists, displayed in prominent locations throughout the venue.
March 29-31
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Art Central
Running concurrently with Art Basel, the fourth edition of Art Central continues its quest to showcase contemporary, innovative art from across Asia and around the world. Established modern masters and emerging voices will share the floor, and among the highlights are sculptures from British artist Damien Hirst's 2014 Schizophrenogenesis series, depicting a reworking of packaging for medicines; Hong Kong filmmaker and photographer Wing Shya's Sweet Sorrow series, a photographic paean to desolation and despair and, at the same time, a loving testament to his home town, as well as collages from his collaborations with director Wong Kar-wai; and Malaysian artist Anne Samat marries found objects with urban detritus in her renowned textile sculptures.
March 27 –April 1
Central Harbourfront, Central
Asia Contemporary Art Show
In its 12th edition, the Asia Contemporary Art Show will showcase more than 2,500 art pieces by some of the world's most promising artists from more than 80 art spaces across the world. The show features two popular sections – Intersections: China and Artist Dialogues – which aim to connect artists with collectors from across Asia and beyond.
March 23-26
Conrad Hong Kong, Admiralty
Harbour Arts Sculpture Park
This first open museum in Hong Kong features 21 sculptures and installations by emerging and renowned local and international contemporary artists including Yayoi Kusama, Antony Gormley, Tracey Emin, Michael Craig-Martin, Gimhongsok, Hank Willis Thomas, Kacey Wong and Zhan Wang. An app provides visitors with a trilingual audio guide.
Until April 11
Central and Western District Promenade and Wan Chai
Para Site Art Space
Arguably the grandfather of independent art galleries in Hong Kong, 20-year old Para Site is now one of the region's most vital and influential art institutions. It could be argued that without Para Site, Art Basel would never have come to town. While the gallery is showing off local, emerging talent at its Art Basel booth, A Beast, a God, and a Line, curated by Cosmin Costinas, will showcase work by 50 artists from South and Southeast Asia that examines politicised religion, nationalism, faltering democracy, ongoing decolonisation and resurgent indigenous identity. A Beast, a God, and a Line's medium is textiles, which the gallery suggests is a brilliant reflection of the layers of our shared past. The exhibition challenges the fundamental notion of geography and views the world from a critical moment – the present – in its history.
17 March-20 May
1a SPACE
The repurposed slaughterhouse 1a Space is one of Hong Kong's most influential – and architecturally engaging – interactive galleries. Curator Justin Hoover selected four female artists to examine and "interrogate" capitalism, intersectional identity, folk ritual and mysticism for Our Bones are made of Starlight. Works by Ranu Mukherjee (Extracted Trilogy), Mail Order Brides – comprising Jenifer Wofford, Reanne Estrada and Eliza Barrios – (Manananggoogle), Fang Lu (Canton Novelty), and Desirée Holman (Sophont) riff on identity politics and societal contradictions. They deflate the sparkling promise of technology, revolution and assumed freedoms, and debunk the promise of economics by reinventing myth in performance, video installation and film.
24 March–29 April
Charbon Art Space
Located in Hong Kong's Wong Chuk Hang art hub, Charbon is a multi-purpose space that delights art aficionados with still exhibition as well as live performances. In Contamination, French filmmaker and photographer Antoine D'Agata is spotlighted in a retrospective of his 30-year career of turning the lens on taboo subjects and the darker side of human nature. Curator Lalie Choffel points to D'Agata's ceaseless, radical quest to capture the lives of the world's prostitutes, and its culture of urban violence and drug addiction – and to find the grace, beauty, life and humanity that lurks in those spaces that are wilfully overlooked. In D'Agata's own words: "I started to tell a story that goes against what we see on TV, which goes against the different photographic traditions, and I want to go to the end of this story; I want to show whores who enjoy or kind criminals: a deeper, more complex humanity."
30 March – 25 May
Blindspot Gallery
Chinese multi-media artist (video, installation, poetry) Jiang Zhi is spotlighted in Going and Coming, a solo exhibition of the artist's two newest painting and photographic series, a reflection on the current cycle of Jiang's own life. The paintings in Going and Coming, capture moments and movement of the dried flowers from his breakthrough Love Letters series from their place on a spinning table. The photographs of Faded Looks substitute the real, but transient, subjects with acrylic, silk and glass. In an examination of recreation, permanence and the march of time, Jiang reconstructs a typical 1980sera Chinese household and the resulting allegory is one for a specific past and its aesthetics, as well as "romantic imagination of a good life". It is a vivid contrast to the pace and volatility of the contemporary world and a philosophical reflection on "things [that] are neither new nor old, neither going nor coming".
27 March – 12 May

1970s >> 1971 >> no-806-october-1971
Book Review: Squaring the Circle
Society of the Future, by August Bebel. Progress Publishers. Moscow.
To mark their government's false claim to be in the process of establishing "Communism" in Russia by the 1980s a Russian State publishing house has brought out under this title an edited version of Bebel's Woman under Socialism.
Bebel speculates on the possibilities of Socialism (which he sees as an international, Stateless, moneyless society based on the common ownership of the means of production) and produces evidence to show that the productive forces were sufficiently developed, even in 1910, to go over to Socialism.
Bebel was a Social Democrat and the Russian editor is forced to disown precisely those of his views which we in the Socialist Party of Great Britain endorse, namely, his refusal to distinguish between "Socialism" and "Communism"; his conclusion that the abolition of capitalism necessarily involves the immediate disappearance of the State and of money; and his belief in the "more or less simultaneous triumph of the socialist revolution in all or most capitalist countries". The Preface where the editor tries to explain away the undeniable fact that Bebel, unlike Lenin but like Marx, understood Socialism to be a moneyless, Stateless world society rather than the kind of national state capitalism that exists in Russia has to be read to be believed.
Our criticisms of Bebel, apart from his role as one of the leaders of the German Social Democratic Party who tried to disguise its reformist practice with revolutionary phrases, would be somewhat different. He here follows Marx and speaks of labour-time vouchers as the substitute for money and some of his ideas on education and sex now seem dated. All the same, this work is a useful addition to the range of old pamphlets now available.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
For complete, up-to-date East Bay theater listings, look under Billboard on the home page for the "Select Category" pulldown, then select "Theater & Performing Arts."
La Belle et La Bête -- It was interesting enough when Philip Glass composed a new soundtrack for the Jean Cocteau film, because it may be a quiet film but it's not a silent one, but it's certainly no less ambitious for Oakland Opera Theater to bring Glass' piece to life as a fully staged opera, without the film. Considering the funkiness of some of the props and whatnot, the experiment is remarkably successful, aided by circus performers contorting during scene changes and a sumptuous set by director Tom Dean, though it drags in some wordless stretches when Glass was composing to something primarily visual in the film, and some of the "meanwhile back at the tavern" scenes are relatively lackluster. Marguerite Krull brings emotional depth as well as a lovely soprano to the role of Belle, and the small orchestra conducted by musical director Deirdre McClure conveys the moody resonance nestled among Glass' repeating doodly-doodly-doodlies. -- S.H. (Through October 2 at Oakland Metro; OaklandOpera.org or 510-763-1146.)
Doing Good -- With this story of two young idealists who get sucked into the globalization machine, the San Francisco Mime Troupe has lost heart. Admirably, the troupe hopes to get us to question the global relationships between governments, corporations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. But this show fails to strike the troupe's usual balance between whimsy and world-changing. It's just not fun. -- L.D. (Through October 2 in area parks; check SFMT.org for schedule.)
Love Lafayette -- Kevin T. Morales kicks off his first season as Town Hall's artistic director with an original comedy he wrote especially about and for the theater's hometown, directed by Berkeley Rep artistic assistant Eddie Kurtz. The premise is simple enough: A conservative couple invites a liberal couple over to discuss the budding romance between their teenage kids. The pace flags in some long expository conversations, but the dialogue is clever throughout, and in a sense the untidy, open-ended quality that makes it seem unfinished also makes it feel a little more like life. -- S.H. (Through September 24 at Town Hall Theatre; THTC.org or 925-283-1557.)
Miss Saigon -- The Diablo Light Opera Company knocks out a take-no-prisoners version of the infamously tech-heavy musical (and yes, there is a helicopter), an update of Puccini's Madame Butterfly, set in a South Vietnamese bar and brothel circa 1975. This tale of a heroine who sacrifices herself to save her child resonates with writers looking for a tear-jerker. As much as it is the story of a doomed love between the orphaned Kim and her GI Chris, Miss Saigon also is a scathing indictment of the Vietnam War. The production is a mixed bag. The orchestra plays the haunting score beautifully under the direction of Cheryl Yee Glass, but that score often drowns out the singing, especially in the ensemble numbers, making it very difficult to understand what's going on. Under the American-flag bikinis and heavy artillery, Butterfly's story is one that people love to tell, and the quieter moments of the DLOC production tell us why. -- L.D. (Through October 1 at the Dean Lesher Center; DLOC.org or 925-943-SHOW.)
Nicky Goes Goth -- There's almost nothing quiet about Nicky Goes Goth, Impact's crisp premiere of Elizabeth Meriwether's skewering of celebrity culture. For anyone who gloated when real-life hackers broke into Paris Hilton's personal organizer and obtained the phone numbers of friends such as the actor Vin Diesel, the story of younger Hilton heiress Nicky getting all existential is a riot. For anyone else, it's a strange love between a moody socialite, a suburban punk, and their assorted dendrites. Or the strange love between a bitchy princess and her gay makeup designer. -- L.D. (Through October 1 at LaVal's; ImpactTheatre.com or 510 464-4468)
Owners -- Maybe you really can't take it with you when you go, but Marion Clegg (Trish Mulholland) has bigger things to worry about -- such as her complete and utter domination of everyone around her, from her swinish husband and her suicidal assistant to a couple of old friends she jettisoned on her rise to power as a real-estate tycoon. And money is useful for that, along with sex and the flinty heart playwright Caryl Churchill placed at the core of her first professionally staged play, 1972's acidly funny Owners. Unapologetically political, deeply informed by her political and feminist convictions, and foreshadowing Churchill's lifelong experimentation with theatrical form, Owners is a fascinating if sprawling look into the playwright's process. -- L.D. (At the Ashby Stage through October 9; ShotgunPlayers.org or 510-841-6500.)
The Price -- On the surface, it looks completely ordinary. Two brothers are struggling over how to dispose of their dead father's things while a wife and an innocent bystander watch. But in The Price, one of Arthur Miller's most intimate plays, there's a lot going on, about secrets, responsibility, the pressure of history, the choices we make and their repercussions. The brothers -- one a cop about to retire, the other a surgeon -- haven't spoken in sixteen years, and bad blood is thicker than water. All of the nuances of which come across beautifully in the Joy Carlin-led effort at the Aurora, a precise and heartfelt effort anchored by four excellent actors. The Aurora comes across with the goods visually. Richard Olmsted and Rebecca Helgeson stack furniture like a protective wall between the family's history and what could have been. It feels exactly like the space Miller imagined, warm and sad and nearly impassable. -- L.D. (At the Aurora through October 9; AuroraTheatre.org or 510-843-4822.)
Private Lives -- When a honeymooning couple talks of nothing except one partner's disastrous first marriage, it's a good bet that the despised ex is nearby, about to complicate matters. There's little to this 1930 Noél Coward favorite aside from the flippant drolleries of people too sophisticated for anyone's good and the convenient coincidences that have become staples of TV sitcoms. Though sometimes dated, Coward's witty banter still goes a long way, and is carried along capably in Lois Grandi's elegant Playhouse West production. -- S.H.

Someone Who'll Watch Over Me -- The scenery is stark: In three spotlights, three men in grungy white T-shirts and boxer shorts sit, chained to the walls. In this production from Wilde Irish, the external details don't change at all, but the three characters go through fascinating transformations. Based on the true story of an Irishman, an Englishman, and an American held hostage together in Lebanon, the play tracks the men's struggles with boredom and encroaching insanity. But the show won't leave you depressed. The men beat back despair with humor, and the audience spent most of the show shaking with laughter, the rest, transfixed. -- E.S. (Through October 2 at the Berkeley City Club; WildeIrish.org or 510-644-9940.)

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), says that it identified and linked 3, 026 children living with HIV to antiretroviral treatment in five states through a five-year programme.
The programme, "Sustaining Mechanisms for Improving Livelihoods and Household Empowerment (SMILE)'' launched in April 2013, and ended in Sept. 2018, covered Benue, Edo, Kogi, Nasarawa and the FCT.
Chief of Party, SMILE, Dr Emeka Anoje said this at the SMILE Close-out and Dissemination Meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.
Anoje said that SMILE supported 174, 023 children to access HIV testing services and 99 per cent of those identified had been linked to retroviral treatment.
"SMILE facilitated access to and uptake of HIV services to reduce the risk of transmission and increase access of adults and children living with HIV to the HIV continuum of care.
"To promote treatment adherence and client's retention in care and treatment, SMILE case workers and community volunteers accompanied HIV positive beneficiaries to health facilities for drug refill and clinical monitoring.
He added that SMILE also expanded its core mandate to include community childhood tuberculosis case-finding programming.
The SMILE project, which cost 45.35 million dollars, was aimed at the improving the well-being of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and caregivers.
He said other aspects of the programme covered were household economic strengthening, health and nutrition services, child protection and psychosocial support and facilitated access to education.
Anoje said the project also provided organisational and technical capacity for local governments, states and social welfare development.
In her address, Dr Zohra Balsara, Director of the Office of HIV/AIDS and TB Control, USAID Nigeria, said the SMILE programme had improved the livelihoods of more than half a million vulnerable children.
"SMILE focused on children living in the communities most impacted by HIV, with emphasis on assisting adolescent girls, who are particularly vulnerable to HIV.
"As SMILE comes to a close, I want to use the opportunity to highlight a new development focus that USAID has just begun to roll out across the globe known as Journey to Self-Reliance.
"For USAID, countries will attain self-reliance when foreign assistance is no longer necessary and they lead their own journey toward meeting their individual development challenges."
Balsara expressed the hope that partner states would build on the lessons learnt from the programme.
She further assured of the U.S. Government's commitment to support orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV and AIDS in Nigeria and to further strengthen the social welfare systems at all levels of government.
The SMILE programme was implemented by the Catholic Relief Services.

Hackers from the amorphous cyber-crime collective Anonymous claim to have leaked the data from 4,200 United States Census Bureau files.
#Anonymous Hacks Subsite http://t.co/Tjkr1BajCE and Leaks US Officials Infos TTIP TPP http://t.co/B6cvEbDzSw pic.twitter.com/by8aX35rdn
— Anonymous Operations (@AnonOpsSE) July 22, 2015
The group claims to be upset about certain provisions within the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership free trade agreements, and leaked the data to protest it. Specifically, the collective worries that civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, will be abridged as a result of more strident intellectual property regulations contained within the deals.
The hackers stole and published information like usernames, e-mails, office phone numbers, and other data related to the government workers.
Although the information of non-government civilians was not compromised in this particular hacking, it is possible that the weakness exploited by Anonymous could be exploited by other malicious actors to steal other data.
This cyber-attack comes several weeks after the federal Office of Personnel Management revealed it was hacked by foreign agents.
The Census Bureau has issued a statement in response to the hacking: "The U.S. Census Bureau is investigating an IT security incident relating to unauthorized access to non-confidential information on an external system that is not part of the Census Bureau internal network. Access to the external system has been restricted while our IT forensics team investigates," a Census Bureau representative said. "Security and data stewardship are integral to the Census Bureau mission. We will remain vigilant in continuing to take every necessary precaution to protect all information."
In a blog post published on July 24, the Census Bureau director John H. Thompson explained how Anonymous got the data: "It appears the database was compromised through a configuration setting that allowed the attacker to gain access to the four files posted to the hacker's site. The hackers acquired the data illegally," he said.
"Within 90 minutes of learning of the breach, we made the system inaccessible. It will remain offline until we can complete our thorough investigation and take steps to ensure the systems integrity in the future," the post also explained.
Anonymous, the hacking group behind the Census Bureau attack, is known for being highly disorganized. There is no real organizational structure to join, and most self-identified Anonymous members simply claim to be connected to the collective in order to become members, making it difficult for authorities to track them.

Solvay: Third Quarter 2011 Results
Solvay realized good results in the 3rd quarter. Sales amounted to EUR 5 020 million, up by 13%. REBITDA amounted to EUR 853 million, up by 22%. The margin - REBITDA on sales - reached 17%, improved in comparison to the first nine months of 2010 (16%). REBIT amounted to EUR 594 million, up by 39%.
Sales from Specialty Polymers continued to improve in the third quarter of 2011; sales were 3% higher than the very high level attained last year, and this despite the negative impact of exchange rates. REBITDA amounted to EUR 93 million, up by 29% compared to the third quarter of 2010. The margin – REBITDA on sales – amounted to 31% compared to 24% in the third quarter of 2010. The improvement in product mix resulted from significant research and innovation efforts in order to develop new applications with high value added. It should be noted in this regard that the portfolio of applications currently being developed is very promising; it includes more than 1,300 active projects and should generate EUR 240 million of additional sales over 3 years.
Sales for Vinyls amounted to EUR 615 million, up by 6% compared to the third quarter of 2010 thanks to the overall higher price level for PVC and caustic soda. However, sales are lower than those in the preceding quarter, mainly due to the drop in PVC sales in Europe. Aside from the typical seasonal effect during the summer, the PVC market has globally been impacted by a slowdown in demand in the current context of economic uncertainty and inventory depletion of customers. REBITDA amounted to EUR 60 million, down by 5% compared to the third quarter of 2010. The margin – REBITDA on sales – amounted to 10%. The drop in operating result came from Vinyls Europe; aside from a slowdown in demand, the operating performance of this activity was impacted by the higher cost of ethylene and electricity. The operating result of Solvay Indupa (Vinyls South America) was higher than last year; it was, however, impacted by the planned turnaround of the pro¬duction unit located in Argentina and by the sharp drop in PVC prices due to increased international competition in Latin America. The operating performance of Vinythai (Vinyls Asia), higher than last year, remained very good in the third quarter.

It's no secret we helped create and popularize West Coast style IPAs (since 1997), Double IPAs (since 2000) & Triple IPAs (since 2006). In fact, IPAs of every ilk imaginable are our bread and (hop) butter at Stone Brewing Co., but we'll be the first to admit that a night of subsisting solely on big IPAs can be a short one.
Enter Stone Go To IPA, our session IPA, boasting all the gloriously bitter, citrusy, piney flavor of our bigger / industrial-strength IPAs, but with a significantly lower alcohol-by-volume (4.5%) allowing IPA fans like us to enjoy more of this amazingly, hoppy beer over a longer session, without giving up any of that gloriously crave-able botanically-driven dankness. Well, OK, when you compare to our bigger IPAs you find that you give up some, as that's what happens when you dramatically lower the abv. And while we work hard to bend the time/space/abv intensity continuum, we've admittedly not yet learned to break it. This comes damn close though.

Residents in a home were almost hit by the crossfire of a gunfight in North Preston Sunday night, the third shooting in the area since Thursday.
At about 8:30 p.m., Halifax RCMP say, people in two vehicles exchanged shots at the corner of Clarence Street and Johnson Road.
Some bullet fragments flew into a nearby house, nearly hitting the people in it, according to police spokesman Cpl. Joe Taplin.
"There were three occupants in the house. No one was hit but (they were) narrowly missed," he said.
"The bullet fragments came into the same room they were in."
Taplin said police officers were nearby and arrived at the scene within minutes but both cars had driven off. About 90 minutes later police found an abandoned red Lexus on Cherry Brook Drive. The Lexus had several bullet holes in it and police believe it was one of the vehicles in the shootout.
RCMP are still investigating but Taplin stressed they are hoping someone from the community will come forward.
"Our biggest concern is we need help from the community," he said. "We know individuals in the community know who is responsible for this shooting. You know, this is pretty close to innocent people this time in a residence," he said.
By midday yesterday police had left the scene of the shooting and there was no sign of the violence that occurred the night before.
The incident comes just a couple of days after two separate shootings in the area.
On Friday morning a 24-year-old male was shot on Cain Street and taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Police last reported he was in stable condition.
Roger Santrevo Downey, 22, was arrested later in the day and was charged yesterday with attempted murder, several firearm offences and two breaches of recognizance.
Shots were also fired in North Preston Thursday night at a man entering his house. The gunfire struck a van in the driveway and the man was unhurt.

I got this announcement the other day for a Halloween webinar and the title is just too cool not to share: "Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse: Protecting Both Your Brains and Your Data.†I hope it goes without saying that data protection is a big part of an IT Pro's job so anything we can learn is an asset. This webinar uses the zombie apocalypse as an effective metaphor for data management.
- On the defense. Zombies not only go after the biggest brains, but the most data as well, so deduplication is critical.
- On the run. Remember, you don't have to run faster than the zombies, you just have to run faster than the other IT people. Use all-in-one backup, archiving, and disaster (zombie) recovery appliances to stay ahead of your peers.
- Living in an undead world. Even if zombie overlords rule the planet, cash will still be king. Make every dollar count by ensuring that your backup vendor isn't nickel and diming you to death. Because death isn't an option in an undead world.
The free live webinar is on October 31 at 12:30 PM EST. Learn more and register at here.

Storing something is DEFINITELY not deleting it. Put it away and you can always get it back (providing you have the room).
If you throw something into Merlin's Cauldron, this doesn't apply - what is sent to elixir is gone. Everything else in storage stays in storage.
