rubytuesday5681: *CLAPS HANDS LOUDLY**: "i know that the situation sucks right now and we are all angry and bitter. but going on and on and on about it is not going to fix anything. let's show the world that we can't be held down! it's time for everyone to do their best to brighten the mood a bit!"
elfwreck: Stop Calling Yourselves Criminals!: "Copyright infringement is illegal. Is fanfiction 'copyright infringement?' Plenty of authors think so. Plenty of fanficcers think so. But that doesn't make it true."
nosselinfea: fandomcrazy: "So now, in comes the California State Attorney General, and suddenly fandom is pulled out of hiding, kicking and screaming into the glare of public scrutiny. (...) It'll be DMCA takedown notices flying like confetti (...) Ironically, RPS isn't covered by copyright law, so it is probably the only area of fandom that's actually relatively safe."
elgraves would like to know if there's some sort of fannish newspaper covering news that may effect fandom community (e.g. DMCA notices).
badonkatonks: Why I approve of sexually graphic young adult literature, novels, and fanfiction: "There are many more young adult novels published than we realize that deal with teen sexuality and how it affects self-image, especially for young girls. I happen to believe there is an area of fanfiction that should be included in a 'safety net' that would protect the writer and the fanfiction from being banned and deleted only because of the fact that the character(s) are teenaged minors."
rubyfruit_pixie: Fannish Thoughts from Jordi: "I wonder why there's such an outcry among fans of female characters when one chooses a different character, be they male, female, or humanoid creature of indeterminate gender, to pair her up with than there is for male characters."

Day 132 | May 11, 2012 - Friday
I love visiting the girls class and try to do it at least once or twice a month. I usually plan it around a holiday so I can bring yummy treats with me. This trip was in honor of Mother's Day and I wanted to be sure to do something extra special for the girls teachers.
I made all three teachers a flower pot that I painted with chalkboard paint. Each pot had their name on it as well as a message that said "Thank you for helping me blossom". Now I'm constantly looking for something to use the rest of the paint on.
Today was also special because today was the first time Kelsey sat on the floor for longer than a few second (she sat for almost 20 minutes straight...crazy!). I think she was so preoccupied with watching all the children that she forgot she was sitting.
Paige and Mrs. Casey made quiet a mess on the table mixing cornstarch and water.
The treats I brought to class--chocolate covered strawberries for the teachers and strawberry cupcakes for the kiddos.
Day 133 | May 12, 2012 - Saturday
It's as if she'd been sitting all her life...she's gone from newborn to baby in a day.
Day 134 | May 13, 2012 - Sunday
Mother's Day and I spent the morning baking the kids favorite breakfast...cinnamon crescent rolls.
Day 135 | May 14, 2012
The runny nose and cough caught up with Paige. Poor thing woke with with a fever and headache and didn't sleep much, so she stayed home from school and spent the next two days right were you see her.
Day 136 | May 15, 2012
If you know Paige you know she must be real sick if she stays in one place for more than 2 seconds. I've never seen her this sick...poor thing just laid there with the blanket over her head. Temperature ran around 102 and she didn't eat much but by the end of the day she smiled and said " All better mommy".
Day 137 | May 16, 2012 - Wednesday
Connor loves these pajama bottoms; their stretched out and do not fit. I told him to get rid of them but he insists on keeping them, so I have him a pair of his sister's suspenders and told him if he wants to wear the pants he must wear the suspenders. I think he was trying to mock me when he added the oversized glasses and pulled the pants up as high as he could. Very Urkelesque!
Day 138 | May 17, 2012 - Thursday
I love watching her play. Picking up a toy, switching it back and forth between hands, putting is down and doing it again. Yet another huge milestone...one the twins didn't do until they were almost two years old!
Day 139 | May 18, 2012 - Friday
No Paige...it's not okay to use your sister as a chair!

Sailboat races on Clear Lake offer landlubbers a waterfront view
Wednesday events
Getting over the midweek hump is smooth sailing for people who take part in the weekly Wednesday sailboat races on Clear Lake.
The races have been a weekly fixture in the area for 12 years and a typical Wednesday will have as many as 55 sailboats of different sizes registered for the race.
Buddy Brown, president of the Clear Lake Racing Association, which organizes the event every week, said boaters come from Katy, The Woodlands, Seabrook, Kemah, Nassau Bay, Clear Lake and Houston.
"We draw people from all over," said Brown, who is assisted by a crew of five volunteers. "It puts pressure on us to run a top class race."
Sailing is such a compelling sport, Brown said, because it's like a board game.
"You're one of the pieces (and) the board is constantly changing. There are places on the race course where the wind blows harder, places where the wind blows less. There are wind shifts, left and right, shallow areas.
"You are watching the weather, the elements, all your competitors, trying to use everything you know to pull ahead of your competitors," Brown said.
Seabrook resident Brant Koepke, a regular in the races, has been sailing and racing sailboats for 38 years. He started sailing in the Wednesday night races more than 5 years ago and continues to try and make it to the lake each week.
"It's a nice break from work," Koepke said. "Get out on the water and enjoy the outdoors. It's a brief race, doesn't take hours and hours, it's something you can do in the evening."
Koepke sails his J/22 boat "Flossie" — a 22-foot-long keelboat. Two years ago, he and his crew were the class champion and overall champion for the year.
The starting and finishing line are set up just off the pier at Villa Capri Restaurant, 3713 NASA Parkway, Seabrook, which is one of the sponsors of the event.
Spectators near the restaurant have a great view of the races, and Brown provides a running commentary of what is going on over a PA system.
"The starting sequence is really neat, exciting-when all the boats are gathered together," Koepke said.
Spectators can also get a good view of the racing action at Lance's Turtle Club, which is just off one of the turning marks of the race.
Boating crews are divided into classes, which determine which course they will navigate. There are six different courses for eight different classes.
"We basically have a class for everyone who wants to get involved, from novices to professional sailors," Brown said.
After leaving the starting line, all crews do a short mark, meaning the distance to the first course marker, which is the same for all classes. From there, crews set off on their preset courses until returning to Villa Capri to cross the last mark, the finish line.
"The marks are close enough that when you come in, you can actually hear the people at the Villa Capri hollering and cheering for you," Koepke said.
Tom Meeh is another sailboat captain who has been attending the Wednesday evening races for a long time.
"(It's) a lot of fun and a good way to break up the week for sure. You put in a full day's work, go out and race for a couple of hours, then party and socialize for a couple of hours, all in a day. It makes for a great way to break up a week," Meeh said. "I would not know what to do without them."
The races take place every Wednesday evening through Oct. 26. Races begin at 6:15 p.m. and continue until the sun sets on the lake.
Any interested person with a boat can register to enter the races. Anyone without a boat, but who know the basics of sailing, can also sign up on the CLRA website to be picked up as a crew member.

Meet the Author/Illustrator – Lucie Duclos!
I grew up in Montreal and studied fine arts and graphic design in college. After college, I worked for a magazine publisher in Montreal. I loved working with teams of writers, photographers and illustrators. When I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, I freelanced for various magazines and catalogs. After I had my son, I decided to start my own kid's clothing business and then got into packaging design and surface pattern design.
I moved north to Port Townsend, Washington four years ago and this is really home to me. I love the weather and the beauty that surrounds this place.
I especially enjoy the rain. When I was young, I used to spend my summers at our lake cabin up North in Quebec. My mom always planned craft activities for rainy days and I looked forward to hearing her say: "On va faire de l'artisanat!" That's why I still love rainy days, because for me, they are loaded with potential and possibilities of craft projects!
I published my first coloring book for adults with my friend Mélina Lamoureux last year: The Pacific Northwest Coloring Book, and it was such a great adventure that I decided to make another one with a Pacific Coast vibe: The West Coast Coloring Book.
Rain or shine, it's time to get creative and start coloring!
I hope you enjoy my new book!

Author: Crono
Artist: Dolven
Album: Navigating the Labyrinth
Label: Independent
Navigating the Labyrinth is the debut album from Portland, Oregon band Dolven, and they have definitely come out with a unique one. Dolven plays a self-described type of music called Acoustic Doom. A first blush, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking this is another neofolk band with slight metal leanings, but I think after listening to the album a few times, this is definitely something different and new. Acoustic Doom is a decent way to describe this, since some of the songs sound pretty much like they were written as doom metal songs and transcribed into acoustic format. Continue reading

Thanks to the guys who came out on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to do an OA Service Project. Our Chapter members decided to do another service project (our second this fall) installing markers on catch basins.
We met in Austin at Southgate School at 2:00 PM and installed 28 markers on storm sewer catch basins on 16 St SW and on 19 Av SW.
The markers say "No Dumping - Drains to River" on them, and have a fish. They remind the public not to dump things in the street gutter, it ends up in creeks and lakes.
I know it is hard to give up time on a beautiful fall afternoon, to do service to the community. Kudos to Noah Zimmerman and Lincoln Shafer from Troop 109, and Nathan Meyer, Willy Burger, and Cameron Krueger from Troop 113 for choosing to give their time and talent for service.
They were definitely cheerful during their service. We all had a good time. Matt and I enjoyed hearing all those bits of wisdom that come out of the brains of Boy Scouts. Brotherhood was both grown, and enjoyed, and the weather couldn't have been much nicer.
Going to McDonald's after for an ice cream cone was fun too...
Thanks Guys!!!

Mrs Archibald made learning fun. She is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from.
She was the best teacher ever, and I always looked forward to french because of it. She gave us lollies and was always nice to us no matter what. So sad that she left but will always remember the years in her class. :D
She is really nice and helpful, we learn lots and have fun as well. Also she gives us lollies!
Shes a really good teacher but sometimes she needds to liven up the lessons. Like, its really good teaching and we play games but she doesnt let us yell and move around in the games.
She is awesomnedd in a box lol. but seriously she is an amazing teacher who really helped me with my vocab and my over all understanding of french top marks miss:D
She is a nice teacher, But her name is not Mhairi :P
Nice teacher, good at getting us to pronounce words right. i look foward to French every day.
Was my absolute favourite teacher right through school - her activities and things really do reinforce the vocab.
Coolest teacher at Northcote, really sweet and helpful, non-judgemental and cares about how well you do. Loved French when I did it. Top marks.
A nice and helpful teacher, who enjoys teaching. A thorough undestanding of the subject with unique and effective teaching techniques, which makes the subject both enjoyable and helps to make learning easier and comprehensive
One of the nicest teachers in the school. Extremely patient and committed. It's great to be in her class

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV is a virus that attacks our immune system resulting in various complications. An individual infected with the virus will experience impairment of several body organs until he or she becomes immune deficient.
A person who has HIV is in danger of having AIDS in the long run. AIDS, which is the acronym for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is associated with HIV in terms of the symptoms, signs, cancers, infections, and other complications common to both.
During an early infection, a patient may experience symptoms such as flu. Most people may just ignore it and think of it as nothing severe, so they end up forgetting about it and learn that they are infected with something serious when it is already too late. That is why medical professionals advise everybody, especially the sexually-active ones, to undergo an HIV screening test.
Testing early
Early detection of the disease will prevent a patient from a lot of harmful damages by HIV or AIDS. Those that use needles when taking drugs, those that have had unprotected sexual intercourse, those that have an HIV-positive sexual partner, those that are infected with any sexually-transmitted disease or STD, and those that slept with sexually-active homosexual men are encouraged to take the test.
Methods of screening for HIV
There are many methods of HIV screening tests --- urine tests, swab tests or oral tests, and blood tests. The purpose of the test is not to detect the presence of HIV itself, but to see if there are traces of HIV antibodies released by the immune system to fight the virus. It is possible for an HIV patient to get a negative test result if his or her immune system is not able to produce sufficient antibodies to protect his or her body.
So, get tested for HIV at the earliest chance to avoid the severe complications this disease can bring.

Satay craze and more
On 28 Mar 2009, I was at Lau Pa Sat with a cherished friend of mine.
I have heard from a fellow blogger, Veron of Sparklette.net, about the delicious satays from Satay Stall Number 7 & 8 from Lau Pa Sat. So when I was there, I decided I must order some satays from the stall, Best Satay.
The satay tasted nice even though yours truly isn't a lover of satay. It had actually been quite a while ever since I had eaten satay. Any food will taste wonderful with good company, so I suppose I was quite a satisfied diner that evening.
After the meal, my friend and I sat along a part of the Singapore River and we happened to be there to witness Earth Hour together. Singapore River looked pretty different when the lights of the exterior of the buildings along Singapore River were dimmed so as to support Earth Hour. I could not help but admire the sights that night.
In essence, I am grateful for meaningful time spent with a treasured friend.

You're not a fan of satay? How come? They're so yummy. Is it because you don't like the taste of bbq-ed meat? I love satay especially the ketumpat that comes with it.

Doreen: I am generally more a vegetables-eater than a meat-eater so satay fall lower on my list of food to eat. Furthermore, I don't have nice outlets that sell fabulous satay near my home and my offices. I am quite a fussy eater.
So it was good to try satays that were good that day, especially when there was good company. :)

Title: When do venture capital firms retain equity shares after investee IPO?
Abstract: This study develops a real options framework on venture capital investors' (VCs) exit strategy after investee ventures go public. IPO presents an opportunity for VCs to cash out and realize the value of their investments. Yet, many VCs choose to retain a significant ownership stake after venture IPO. Extant research suggests that VCs retain equity to signal the quality of investees. We offer the view that pre-IPO equity investment in a venture constitutes an option to divest equity post-IPO. We propose that the exit decision depends in part on the factors that determine the value of the exit option, including market uncertainty and the VC's privileged knowledge about the value-creating potential of the venture's assets. The empirical analysis provides supportive evidence for our argument.
Key words: venture capital, post-IPO cashout, uncertainty, asymmetric knowledge, real options

Claudia Snow Classon, author of "Angels and Serendipity"
Last summer I learned that having a second story accepted by SUCKER entitles an author to a whole new level of editorial support. While most literary magazines merely offer a perfunctory assessment of one's latest blood, sweat, and tears opus, SUCKER ups the ante by providing en suite one-on-one overnight collaboration.

|Millionaire by 2020 2019 Plan – June 2015 Update
In June, the fall in the share market really started to take its toll on the MoH. The Millionaire by 2020 2019 plan tracker fell for the first time this calendar year to 42.6%. This was a 0.3% drop from May, but not unrecoverable. And it's still way up on my target of 26.3%.
My shares sank again; they're now 14% lower than their February high. Super and cash were both up by a fraction.
As predicted, credit card payments fell due, along with my annual margin loan interest payment, which both impacted my cash balance.
My goals bucket expenditure was quite minor – some small appliances and professional membership fees, which you could argue shouldn't have come from the bucket in the first place. But it's not like I've used it for anything else recently!
I have to admit, I've gotten sucked into these Amex offers, where you download an offer onto your card and then get a discount when you've made a purchase with a particular vendor. Generally, I've been good, and just used offers for purchases that I would made anyway at Woolies, 7 Eleven, etc. But I did end up buying more small appliances than absolutely necessary to cash in on one of the offers. The replacement toaster (its predecessor died a horrible death by staying stuck on and filling the entire house with smoke while I was out for a walk) is well used, but the others remain in their boxes.
Looking back at the last financial year, despite the share market issues, I've made quite good progress relative to the plan. My expenses came in really close to budget – they were over budget by only $490.60, or $41 per month. And with my cash savings and investment growth, the Millionaire by 2020 2019 plan tracker is exactly double last June's total – 42.6% v. 21.3%.
Looking forwards into next financial year, the skies are positive. I negotiated an increase in my contract rates, which takes me slightly ahead of where I was in my former role. So there will be a bit more money in my goals bucket to play with in future years.
With these changes, I will need to update my budget in July.
Happy end of financial year, and may your tax refund be positive in July!
Speak to you in the new financial year.

Ford's F series also showed a significant increase at 17.9% above November of 2011 and 11.6% increase year to date over last year at this point. Chevrolet's Silverado and the GMC Sierra were down about 3800 units collectively, versus 2011 in year to date sales. Some are saying that a slight boost in sales numbers this month was due in large part to Hurricane Sandy and the push by some to get a few big purchases done before we find out what Congress might (or might not) do before the end of the year. These totals put the auto industry on track to sell over 15 million total units by year's end; making it, potentially, one of the best sales years in quite a while!

3 teenagers on Facebook hit list killed
Three teenagers, who were listed on a 69-name hit list posted on Facebook a week ago, have been killed in the past 10 days in a South-western Colombian town. Read on for details...world Updated: Aug 25, 2010 17:22 IST
Three teenagers have been killed in the past 10 days in a South-western Colombian town. All three of them were listed on a 69-name hit list posted on Facebook a week ago, CNN reported.
The hit-list, which was posted on August 17, warned that all the names that were listed would be executed if they did not leave the town within three days. No motives were given for the same.
The police, initially, thought that post was a practical joke and did not take it seriously. But after a second post with an additional 31 names of women was posted, the police understood the gravity of the situation.
Incidentally, two boys on the list, who were shot and killed while riding a motorcycle, were already dead by the time the list was posted.
Panic striken parents are sending their children out of town and tweeting relentlessly about the killings.
The officials believe that a Marxist guerrilla group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia who operate in the area and Los Rastrojos criminal gang could be behind the hit-list.
The police is not sure why the list has been posted in the first place.

Here is a link to one of Ted Talks lectures. If you've never listened to one you're in for a treat. there's a wide range of topics by really great speakers. A friend passed it on to me just at a time when I was getting nervous about "doing the perfect demo" for my upcoming workshop in Naples.
I always tell myself that even if the painting doesn't come out as one my best at least the students would see the concepts and know that it's always a struggle which is part of the learning process and part of the fun. Then there's the noise in my head that says "when I was taking workshops I wanted to see great art being made, why wouldn't they?" This lecture addresses issues of courage, self-worthiness and perfectionism!! It affected me so deeply that I had dreams about it last night and woke up thinking,"yeah, I'm not perfect!" So I apologize to my students ahead of time if I don't get the best onion painting I ever did, but that doesn't mean I won't try!!

09 March 2017
Providing the international keynote address at the 11th annual conference, CEO of Hyperloop One, Rob Lloyd, shared a bird's-eye view of how construction is progressing at the world's only full-system and full-scale Hyperloop test site, proving the company is well-positioned to deliver the first working Hyperloop. The 500m long DevLoop, which has a diameter of 3.3m is located 30 minutes from Las Vegas in the Nevada desert. The company is expected to perform a public trial in the first half of 2017. The DevLoop trial will follow Hyperloop One's first public test of a prototype propulsion system, which took place in the same area less than twelve months ago in May 2016.
Speaking at the conference, Lloyd also shared the company's vision for how Hyperloop One could transform the future of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with a faster, more efficient and cleaner system of mobility. A Hyperloop system is a new mode of transportation, capable of connecting to all modes of existing transportation and helping individuals be anywhere and move anything with on-demand autonomous transport. A Hyperloop One system would ease pressure on existing infrastructure and presents the potential for the Middle East to reinvent and transform transportation.
"While technology is revolutionising many facets of our lives, we have not seen a radical change in transportation since the Wright brothers introduced air travel over 100 years ago," said Lloyd. "Tying together the Middle East region would produce greater virtual density, without congestion and pollution, spurring innovation, productivity, job growth and more powerful sharing of knowledge, labour and investment. Building a Hyperloop would vastly impact the economy and make any major city in the GCC accessible within one hour."
Josh Giegel, President of Engineering and Co-founder of Hyperloop One, joined Lloyd during his presentation at Middle East Rail via video from the DevLoop location in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
"I am so excited to be able to share images of DevLoop at Middle East Rail and update the world on our progress. Our team of more than 150 engineers, technicians and fabricators have been transforming what was, just over five months ago, a barren stretch of desert, into a hive of activity and now home to the world's first full-scale Hyperloop test site," said Giegel. "We have come so far in such a short space of time, and our team of over 240 employees are working tirelessly to eliminate the barriers of distance and time and reinvent transportation."
Not only will a Hyperloop system benefit the GCC economically, but socially, by facilitating easier access to critical infrastructure such as hospitals and schools, expanding access to city attractions and unlocking urban development. It could create a UAE pan-urban area within a 30 minute Hyperloop reach between Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain.
"With a Hyperloop One system in place, there is ability to further unify the alliance of the GCC, socially, culturally and economically." said Shervin Pishevar, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Hyperloop One. "Hyperloop could further enable diversification and could make a huge impact on the region's relatively young and growing population, reimagining how cities and countries in the region work together. Progress made on the DevLoop in just five months demonstrates how quickly we could bring Hyperloop to the GCC and to the world."
Benefits of Hyperloop include higher standards of safety than a passenger jet, close to half the construction and lower maintenance costs than high-speed rail and energy usage that is similar to a bicycle per kilogram-kilometre. Hyperloop One estimates that around 4,000 vehicles travel every day between Abu Dhabi & Dubai, with traffic congestion in Dubai costing the economy $800 million in lost working hours. Reducing this commute to 12 minutes opens a whole new realm of options and Hyperloop One shows an investment in a UAE Hyperloop network could unlock economic value 3.5 to 4 times over high speed rail.
Hyperloop One has announced a series of achievements in the last 12 months, demonstrating the company's rapid progress in developing the new form of transportation. One week ago, Hyperloop One convened a landmark innovation summit – The Hyperloop One Vision for India ¬– in New Delhi, discussing how the company could integrate with and augment India's vast transportation network with reliable, clean and on-demand autonomous transport, connecting India's major cities at faster-than-airline speeds.

In Costa Rica, I live with an eight year old sister. I also live with her 15 year brother, their mom, and her mom (my "official" Mama Tica). On any given day, there are up to 4 different visitors hanging around the house, and two other students besides me. For someone who comes from a pretty small, private family, this was a bit of an adjustment. I've learned to love them, though, over the course of my time here with these simple tricks:
- Spend Time with your Family Do you remember the first day of college? It was crazy overwhelming, and you probably met at least a hundred people. That's kind of how meeting a host family feels: mildly overwhelming. By spending time with my 8 year old sister and asking how her day is, or by helping my Mama Tica in the kitchen, I have learned more about them and gained respect and love for them.
- Be Flexible If you are used to living by yourself or doing things for yourself, this may be challenging. You now live with a family that feeds 8 and only does laundry one day a week. Try to step outside your comfort zone a little and try new foods at dinner, and be flexible with things like sharing a bathroom and not doing laundry on your own schedule. Sometimes, it's okay to take a break from homework and play Monopoly with your family.
- Communicate On the flip side of what I said above, if something is difficult, speak up! If you don't like the papaya at breakfast, ask if you can mix it up. If you need an extra blanket at night, don't be afraid to ask! They are probably going to be more accommodating than you can imagine!
- Embrace the Culture This is probably my favorite tip included. I love that my family spends time lingering over coffee after we finish eating breakfast in the morning, and that we greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. By trying to embrace the culture, we can get more out of the trip.

Masinloc is located at the northern part of Zambales. It is situated between two growth centers namely, Subic and Olongapo in the south and Dagupan City and Baguio City in the north. It is considered as one of the "growth areas" in the province of Zambales and was accredited by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) as potential site for industrial development.
Visited by Spanish Explorer Juan de Salcedo in 1572, Masinloc was named after a Bolinao-Zambal phrase "Babali nin Masin Ilog", which means "the town where there is a river" or the "Jinloc Tree" that previously abounds in the area. Masinloc was organized as a town and as the first capital of Zambales in 1607. It is the third biggest town in the province with a total land area of 33,150 hectares and is comprised of 13 barangays, 11 along the coastal areas and 2 in the uplands.
The municipality is gifted with 3 ecological systems: coastal, lowland and upland. Its seabed is ideal for port development. The town boosts of its protected marine sanctuary. It has available mineral resources, productive government/ privately owned lands with highly established agriculture for industrial/ commercial development, existence of good roads, telephones, ports, airstrip, electric supply and water sources. It is one of the fish producing towns of Zambales and home for sweet mangoes (Zambales Carabao Mangoes).
The presence of the major corporations like the Coto Mines Inc. (CMI) and the Masinloc Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant (MCFTPP) presently operated by AES/Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd. (MPPCL) formerly the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR) put the town as a major player in industrialization. In support of this, the LGU focused its strategies on the following: enlarging non-agricultural employment, encouraging more commercial establishments; producing high value-crops, providing a secondary source of income for the people and undertaking strict implementation of environment-related programs. With the on-going development changes in the municipality, the LGU takes into account the challenge of balancing different "trade-off", that of promoting income but also re-generating ecological value.

Apparent yield stress in rigid fibre suspensions: the role of attractive colloidal interactions
Apparent yield stress in rigid fibre suspensions: the role of attractive colloidal interactions - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 LPMC - Laboratoire de physique de la matière condensée 2 IRDL - CNRS FRE 3744 - Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme 3 Department of Mathematical Physics
Abstract : This work is focused on the modelling of the shear and normal stresses in fibre suspensions that are subjected to a simple shear flow in the presence of short-range lubrication forces, van der Waals and electrostatic forces, as well as solid friction forces between fibres. All these forces are weighed by the contact probability. The theory is developed for attractive fibres with van der Waals interaction dominating over electrostatic repulsion. The model predicts a simple Bingham law for both the shear stress and the first normal stress difference with the apparent shear and normal yield stresses proportional, respectively, to the second and the third power of particle volume fraction. The model is applied to the experimental data of Rakatekar et al. Adv. Mater 21, 874-878 2009 and Natale et al. AIChE J. 60, 1476-1487 2014 on the suspensions of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a Newtonian epoxy resin. It reproduces well the quadratic dependency of the apparent yield stress on particle volume fraction σ Y ∝φ^2 for average particle aspect ratios of r=160 and 1200, while it underpredicts the power-law exponent for rD80 always predictingφ^2 behaviour instead of φ^3.2

Alas, The Chemistry Set disbanded in 2008. That year was the first year that I did not hold a birthday show at Barley House. And while there were other circumstances that distracted me from booking a show that summer, somehow it seemed fitting to end them. After all, it just wouldn't feel right to do a show without The Chemistry Set.
You could only imagine my surprise when I saw the Facebook invite for a reunion show with Chemistry Set. Even more amazing is the fact that the show is being held on my birthday, August 25th. Also on the lineup are Sunward and Tabula Rasa. The latter band, featuring Steve Duncan of Chemistry Set and Doug Kershaw of Sunward, are also performing for the first time since... well, a super long time.
The fact that The Chemistry Set is performing on my birthday may just be coincidence, but whatever it is, I could not have asked for a better birthday gift than this show. For those who saw the band play live, you know what an exhilarating experience their shows were. Those who were not fortunate enough to experience the band live, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to scratch this off your bucket list.
I leave you with this video of "Why Don't You?" from Blue Monsters, directed by another huge Chemistry Set fan, Digant Kasundra.

All day I thought it was Friday. I have no calendar to remind me how fast (or slow) time is passing. Just the sun rising and setting each day to create a rhythm to my days. I haven't fallen into a routine, or burdened myself with feeling like I must be here or there. For today, I just experience what is right in front of me. There is honestly such sweetness in living life that way. My over planned life in no way sets me up for a "rich" life. There is something so special about taking a slow walk and meeting people along the way, or forgetting to make lunch for our road trip but instead finding an incredible seafood restaurant that we only stopped at because all the kids needed to go the bathroom. I am learning (slowly) to not have a plan.
Yesterday we hiked several trails at Florida State Caverns and found several more caves amongst the granite rocks. The terrain in this park was really different and we loved seeing all the moss and blue "pools." Today we left that park early and headed to Fort Pickens State Park which is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore situated on Santa Rosa Island (just south of Pensacola). Gress was most excited that there was a fort near our campground. The kids were able to run free and explore miles and miles of forts and artillery. Somehow our satellite imaging of the campground and the direction from an uninformed park ranger didn't get us the best spot at the campsite so we were able to switch once we got there. Lesson learned…don't have a set plan!
Our sweet farmer friends created a box of questions for Rad and I that we are to ask each other along the journey. Today we opened the box and chatted about our first question. Nothing like getting straight to the heart. We both love great conversation. What a gift these questions will be!
Excited for what tomorrow will bring!

Kroger Co (NYSE:KR) has generally been a source of stable returns for investors.
But, of course, things have changed dramatically this year, especially with Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) purchase of Whole Foods.
Yet, AMZN is not the only issue with the company. Kroger stock price was already feeling the pressure before the deal.
After all, the grocer had been reporting weak earnings. Part of this has been from adverse commodities pricing as well as the pressures from German discount operators like Aldi and Lidl.
So, is all the bad Kroger news a sign that investors should just avoid the stock? In other words, is the company vulnerable to disruption?
Well, even though there are major challenges, I think they can be managed. In fact, KR stock has the potential of being an interesting value play right now — but investors will need some patience.
Let's take a look at 3 bullish reasons for Kroger stock:
KR Stock Bullish Factor #1 — Scale
The roots of KR go back 1883. So, yes, the company has proven to be quite adept at dealing with the intense competitive forces and industry changes. A clear-cut example of this is how KR was able to handle the onslaught of Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc (NYSE:WMT) during the past 20 years or so.
There are several keys to KR's success. First of all, the company has a strong focus on the customer, which has meant creating engaging store experiences and providing a wide assortment of offerings at competitive prices.
What's more, KR has benefited from its massive scale. The company currently has about 2,800 stores across 35 states. Because of this, there is often a KR store at convenient distances for customers (the average is about one and half miles from the home).
KR Stock Bullish Factor #2 — Investing in Innovation
For the next few years, KR plans to invest $9 billion in digital systems. This effort is called the "Restock Kroger" platform.
At the heart of this will be a focus on mining customer data. But there will also be other initiatives like improvements to the supply chain, video analytics, robotics, self-checkout, space optimization and personalized offers.
It is also important to note that KR already has some key assets, which will serve as a foundation. For example, the company delivers over 3 billion personalized recommendations to customers every year. Moreover, there is an extensive loyalty program as well as the ClickList platform, which allows customers to make online purchases and pickups.
OK, then, but won't the costs be prohibitive for KR? Not necessarily. The company still plans ongoing cost cutting. Part of this will come from the digital assets, but also it looks like it will sell off the convenience stores segment, which would be a nice source of cash.
KR Stock Bullish Factor #3 — Financials and Valuation
Despite all the bad Kroger news, the company's financials are not imploding. During the latest investor conference, KR reaffirmed its fiscal 2017 outlook, with comparable-store sales increases of 0.5% to 1.0% and earnings per share of $2 to $2.05.
Besides, the valuation on the shares is definitely attractive. Consider that KR stock trades at 11 times earnings. By comparison, WMT is at 18X and COST sports a multiple of 22.5.
And, finally, KR stock has a fairly attractive yield, at about 2.5%. More importantly, the company has raised it on a consistent basis during the past ten years.

Alpha Thalassemia Major clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to new patients
In Utero Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Alpha-thalassemia Major (ATM)
open to all eligible people
The investigators aims to evaluate the safety of in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in fetuses with alpha-thalassemia major performed at the time of in utero transfusion of red blood cells.
San Francisco, California
Reproductive Capacity and Iron Burden in Thalassemia
open to eligible people ages 12 years and up
The improved long-term survival of thalassemia major (TM) patients has resulted in increased focus on the ability to preserve fertility. While the association of iron toxicity with vital organ dysfunction, heart and liver, has been extensively investigated, the correlation of reproductive capacity and extent of iron overload is not well understood. Despite remarkable progress in methodology for prediction of reproductive status and intervention for preserving fertility, implementation in thalassemia is lacking. The investigators hypothesize that iron toxicity to the anterior pituitary occurring in the process of transfusional iron loading is directly associated with a decline in gonadal function. The investigators expect pituitary MRI measurements of iron deposition as well as markers of oxidative damage to correlate with the functional studies of pituitary-gonadal axis performed in this study. This cross sectional study will examine the relation of pituitary iron deposition and pituitary volume; serum iron and oxidative stress measures, liver iron concentration (LIC), cardiac iron and chelation adequacy with pituitary and gonadal reproductive hormone levels (and spermatogenesis in adult male patients), in order to better define the association of iron burden and chelation patterns with fertility potential, in thalassemia patients with iron overload. The study will assess whether the current chelation treatment regimens, in particular during the pubertal developmental age, are adequate for preserving fertility and could lead to improved chelation routines for preventing the high prevalence of compromised fertility. In addition, by utilizing state-of-the-art markers for fertility status, findings from this study may improve current methods for screening for hypogonadism and reproductive potential and allow earlier intervention. The investigators propose to examine 26-30 patients, 12 years and older, with measures of fertility potential, and correlate them to their current iron burden parameters and to the cumulative iron effect as indicated by past iron overload patterns and chelation history.

Agar aap apne pati ko bahut pyar karte hein tou unhe Paneer Pasanda bana ke khilaiye :)
With this motto I made Paneer Pasanda for DH when he was coming home after a hectic tour...and I baked garlic naan at home....let me let you..paneer pasanda and garlic naan are deadly combination!
1 lb paneer cut in big triangles of same size
For the filling:
1 tbsp crumbled paneer
2 tbsp khoya
1 tsp rasins
1 tsp almond powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
a pinch salt
few mint leaves cut in very very small strips
1 tbsp all purpose flour
oil to fry
For the gravy,
1.5 tbsp almond powder
3 tbsp whipping cream (or malai)
1 tsp crushed black pepper
1" cinnamon stick
1 black cardamom
4-5 cloves
1 bay leaf
1 cup milk
For the filling, mix everything and keep aside. Take all purpose flour and mix in water to make a paste of pouring consistency. Now take paneer triangles and slit them so that the one end of the triangle is still attached. Fill the filling carefully inside the paneer and dip in all purpose flour paste and deep fry them. Take them out in a tissue paper to soak extra oil.
For the curry, there are tons of ways...some make spicy tomato based gravy, some make while gravy with cauliflower paste and some make while gravy with cream. My favorite one is white creamy gravy with almond flavor. Take all the masalas (cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon, black pepper) and grind them well. Mix it in the whipping cream and heat it in a pan. When one boil comes, put almond powder and milk. Boil it for 4-5 more minutes. Add salt to taste. Adjust milk as per the consistency of gravy you require. Finally add fried paneer triangles and serve hot with garlic naan.

Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars
October 23, 2015
For the Crumble:
- 1 & 1/2 Cups of Gluten Free Oats (150g)
- 1 & 1/2 Cups of Ground Almonds (180g)
- 1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 1/2 Cup of Melted Coconut Oil (125ml)
- 1/2 Cup of Maple Syrup (125ml)
- 1/2 Cup (75g) of Coconut Sugar
For the Filling:
- 1 Cup (240g) of Pumpkin Purée
- 1/3 Cup (85ml) of Maple Syrup
- 1 Egg
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
- 1/4 Teaspoon of Nutmeg
- 1/4 Teaspoon of Ground Ginger
These are ridiculously delicious. They taste just as good as they look – a crumbly, oat biscuit base with a smooth, sweet pumpkin pie filling all topped with extra oat crunch crumbled on top. They're such a satisfying seasonal treat, the pumpkin and comforting spices taste so Autumny and they smell divine as they bake.
Preheat the oven to 180'C.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, ground almonds, coconut sugar and baking powder. Then pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup and mix well.
Line a 9×9 inch baking tin with parchment paper. Add half of the oat mixture to the tin and use your hands to spread it out and press it evenly into the tin. Bake at 180'C for about 10 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.
While that's baking, combine the egg, vanilla and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add in the spices and mix well. Whisk in the pumpkin purée until smooth.
When the first layer is baked, spread the pumpkin mixture over it and put it back in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Take out the tin and crumble the rest of the oat mixture over the top. Pop it back in the oven for the last time and bake for about 20 minutes, until the crumble is golden and crisp and the pumpkin filling is set.
4 Comments to Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars
The season for treats and baking has started at my house! These look incredible and perfect for taking to my neighborhood Halloween party.
Hey, can you use butternut squash instead of pumpkin? I can't find pureed pumpkin in Dublin for the life of me! Thanks x
This sounds yummy and healthy

As we are all aware, as of Noon (est) on Jan 20, 2017, there's a new President in the US, Donald J. Trump. Putting political ideologies aside, some of his and the GOP's proposed changes could impact the finances of Americans and those living outside the US.
First is the repeal of Obamacare. This order was signed yesterday. However, no replacement plan has been put forward. So unwinding and replacing Obamacare will take some time. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan body, put out a report last week indicating that the repeal of Obamacare without an adequate replacement would leave 18M people without health insurance. Insurance premiums likely would rise for those insured because healthy people would probably opt to wait to get health insurance until they actually get sick – leaving the burden of health insurance premiums to a smaller group, thus, driving up premiums. This is a waiting game. And a note, some people think Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are different. But they are actually the same thingd, just with different names.
The other item that will have a significant impact on finances is tax reform. Trump and the GOP's proposed plan indicates a drop of the US federal corporate tax rate from a high of 35% to the 20% range. This significant cut should mean corporations have additional funds to invest, pay out as dividends, or use as share buybacks. There is also a repatriation tax of 10% proposed to allow companies such as Apple, Google, Johnson & Johnson, etc… to bring cash that they have overseas to the US. Currently, these companies would face a larger tax hit if they repatriated overseas cash to the US. There may also be some changes to corporate expenditures such as denying interest expense deductions but allowing corporations to fully expense capital expenditures such as the purchase of machinery or intangibles. This may entice corporations to take on less debt but invest more in machinery or intangibles but some corporations need to take on debt to invest in these things. So it may just end up being a wash.
It is uncertain whether these changes will create new jobs. Companies may certainly have more cash to invest in machinery and technology. However, this may not necessarily create more jobs. Rather, it may allow a company to become more efficient, thereby benefiting shareholders. Often times, the biggest cost for corporations is labor. If companies can invest in technology upfront and automate processes, it saves them the cost of ongoing labor. It results in higher profits which makes shareholders happy. For example, much of the production in the US auto and steel industry is automated which is a large reason there are less auto and steel jobs in the US. If these companies have more cash to spend, I don't think they're going to hire more people just for the sake of hiring more people when they can invest in technology to further automate their production. Thereby increasing efficiency and profits.
Companies bringing cash from overseas may also not create additional jobs. I say this because many of the companies with cash overseas have currently been issuing bonds at cheap interest rates and instead of using the proceeds from these bonds to invest in new jobs, they've just been using the proceeds to pay out additional dividends or buy back shares. This enriches shareholders. I think that if companies are able to bring money from overseas at a tax rate of only 10%, they will use those proceeds to pay out more dividends and buy back more shares. This doesn't necessarily create more jobs. But it does make shareholders better off because they have more cash in their pockets (due to dividends) or a bigger piece of the corporate pie (due to share buybacks).
So if the above corporate tax measures are imposed, I believe shareholders will benefit the most. I think this will skew the tax system even more to individuals that invest in corporations, whether private corporations or publicly traded corporations. As you will note, I discussed this my post: One of the Ways the Rich Stay Rich.
There are also proposed changes to the US federal personal tax brackets for ordinary income (e.g., employment income), reducing the brackets from seven to three and having the highest marginal rate at 33% instead of 39.6%. The tax rates wouldn't decrease for everyone though. If you're single and have income between $112,500 and $190,150; or married filing jointly and have income between $225,000 and $231,450, you may see your marginal tax rate rise from 28% to 33%. The tax rate reductions may be offset by allowable expense deductions such as the mortgage interest deduction (this may no longer be allowed). So the decrease in allowable deductions may offset the decrease in the tax rates. Thus, individual taxpayers on average, may end up in the same spot as before.
There is also proposed major infrastructure spending on roads, bridges, airports, tunnels, etc… This combined with a cut to corporate taxes should have an inflationary impact as the expected tax cuts and infrastructure spending should stimulate growth. Theoretically, the US Fed should then start increasing interest rates to combat inflation. Bond yields should start moving up (they already have). An increase in interest rates generally does not bode well for corporations and individuals holding debt, particularly floating rate debt. So an initial period of growth may be accompanied by higher interest rates which make it harder for corporations and individuals to pay back debt because of higher interest rates. And also makes it harder to refinance debt because of an inability to service debt due to higher interest rates. So it may be a good time to cut back on personal debt over the next few years. In addition, I'm becoming more conscious of investing in companies that have significant debt on their balance sheets because their interest payments may take up a significant amount of their operating income in the years ahead.

The European Commission has written to the British Humanist Association to say it will investigate whether UK legislation around state funded 'faith' schools breaches European employment laws in relation to discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief.
Their investigation comes in response to a complaint made by the BHA to the Commission in April 2010, in which the BHA argued that UK law allows much wider discrimination in who 'faith' schools can and cannot employ than the relevant European Directive.

Souhegan's cost per pupil causes clash; enrollment on the decline, budget up by 2 percent
AMHERST – Those who believe Souhegan High School's cost per pupil is too high and those who are worried that budget cutting has gone to far clashed at the Souhegan Cooperative School District Deliberative Session on Monday night.
The school's proposed $18 million budget to support the Amherst-Mont Vernon school next year reflects $608,000 worth of staff cuts that include teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators.
Despite the cuts, the budget is up by 2 percent, mainly because of increases in health insurance, special education tuition, transportation costs and other mandatory increases.
Linda Kaiser, of Amherst, proposed an amendment, which ultimately failed, to cut the budget's bottom line by about 3 percent, saying it has gone up over the last seven years while enrollment has declined.
"I went to school with 30-35 kids in class, and I did fine," she said.
On the other side was Peggy Silva, a founding member of the 25-year-old school, who said a high teacher-student ratio burdens teachers.
There were 50 students in her grammar school class, she said, and that "was not very good."
Margaret McCabe, of Amherst, said staff numbers are still too high and questioned a $139,000 item for career-technical transportation for about 14 students.
Others repeated the complaint that the budget isn't sensitive enough to struggling taxpayers, while Rick Katzenberg, of Amherst, was applauded for saying enrollments have actually been 'fairly stable," and that 51 students who didn't go through the elementary and middle school have come here because it's an excellent high school and homes are increasing in value.
Mike Akillian, of the
citizens group Working for Great Schools, repeated his often-made contention that Hollis and Bedford high schools have significantly lower costs per pupil, while getting "equal or better outcomes."
There was a lot of discussion about what costs should be included in cost-per-student numbers. School Board Chairwoman Mary Lou Mullins told the audience that comparisons between schools aren't fair and that the state Department of Education warns against them.
Critics are "cherry-picking" information to support their claims, she said.
After Margaret McCabe said Souhegan's costs are greater than Bedford's because Souhegan has too many staff members and pays too much, Ellen Grudzien, of the district's Advisory Finance Committee, called them "alternative facts."
And the trend toward budget cutting, she said, burdens children, teachers and administrator.
Several parents, some of whom moved to Amherst because of the high school, praised the school.
An article for $94,500 worth of wage increases for professional and support staff, based on a one-year agreement, passed onto the ballot with little discussion.
So did a $150,000 warrant article for paving the parking lot and driveway and another one for a building maintenance fund.
The estimated tax impact of the budget and all warrant articles is 49 cents for an average home, valued at $352,000, in Amherst and $1.03 for a house valued at $300,000 in Mont Vernon. That brings the tax rate to support the school to $172.48 for that average Amherst house and $309 for an average Mont Vernon house.
The final vote will be at the polls on March 14, the second part of the two-part voting process.
The Budget Committee had voted 7-0 to support the budget, but the school board was divided, 5-2.
The two dissenting board members, both from Amherst, took some criticism. Dwayne Purvis said he had questions about curriculum, and David Chen said on the whole it's a fair budget, but he doesn't like the fact that the budget is up while enrollments are down.
In 2009, the school had 891 students enrolled, and this year the number is 831. The trend is expected to continue, with 700 students estimated for 2020.

And let them rejoice at having learned through consistent, systematic action how to establish a rhythm of growth that pays due attention to the essential elements of expansion, consolidation, reflection and planning.
(Universal House of Justice, 20 October 2008, to the Bahá'ís of the World)
Sustaining growth in cluster after cluster will depend on the qualities that distinguish your service to the peoples of the world. So free must be your thoughts and actions of any trace of prejudice—racial, religious, economic, national, tribal, class, or cultural—that even the stranger sees in you loving friends. So high must be your standard of excellence and so pure and chaste your lives that the moral influence you exert penetrates the consciousness of the wider community. Only if you demonstrate the rectitude of conduct to which the writings of the Faith call every soul will you be able to struggle against the myriad forms of corruption, overt and subtle, eating at the vitals of society. Only if you perceive honour and nobility in every human being—this independent of wealth or poverty—will you be able to champion the cause of justice. And to the extent that administrative processes of your institutions are governed by the principles of Bahá'í consultation will the great masses of humanity be able to take refuge in the Bahá'í community.
(Universal House of Justice, Ridván 2008)
The Bahá'í teachings foster the use of the rational faculties in a spirit of inquiry, to unravel the mysteries of spiritual and material worlds, and to thus contribute to the growth of religious and scientific understanding. Hence, we may confidently anticipate that the mysteries of the organic growth will become progressively disclosed, as our understanding of the interplay between the spiritual and the material determinants of growth increase, and the passage of time reveals more fully the course followed by the Bahá'í Community in it's expansion.
(Dr. Peter Khan, former member of the Universal House of Justice, Spiritual Axis: 'A powerful magnet')
The "building process," to which they are consecrated, is "the one hope of a stricken society." For, it is "actuated by the generating influence of God's changeless Purpose, and is evolving within the framework of the Administrative Order of His Faith."
(Universal House of Justice, 27 December 2005 to the Continental Boards of Counsellors)
They alone are aware of the silent growth of that orderly world polity whose fabric they themselves are weaving.
(Universal House of Justice, 27 December 2005 to the Continental Boards of Counsellors)
