Preparations (Warp)
The beats! Its all about the beats! The essence of hip hop is the rhythms and the rhymes and this album proves that those boundaries are there to be tweaked, twisted and trampled. One Word Extinguisher, the 2003 album by Guillermo Scott Herren (the one-man army that is P73) was a certified work of genius – genius which was muted by the inclusion of a multifarious selection of guests on his 2005 follow-up Surrounded By Silence. Now he has refocused his attentions and has been busy refining his instrumental palate. Bumping, sweeping and glitching with ebullient ease, Herren's music swings with the fury of Public Enemy, the unpredictability of Autechre and the melodic nous of José González.

Jesus lift for Guardiola
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Gabriel Jesus is back in training with Manchester City after six weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.
The City boss revealed the news about the 20-year-old Brazilian striker at his press conference ahead of Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round tie against League One outfit Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.
Jesus, who has scored 10 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions this season, has been missing since suffering ligament damage during the against Premier League clash Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve.
He has done one or two weeks training alone and today is the first training joining the team.Pep Guardiola
But he was back on the training ground with the rest of his team-mates on Friday and could be back in action soon.
"It's good news," said Guardiola. "I don't know when he'll be ready [to play].
"He has done one or two weeks training alone and today is the first training joining the team."
Jesus will miss Monday's FA Cup tie but his impending return will be a welcome boost for Guardiola as City continue to chase silverware on four fronts this season.
When asked about the possibility of rotating his squad for the game against Latics with one eye on the EFL Cup final against Arsenal next Sunday, Guardiola added: "Between the games in Basel and Wigan, you have six days and the next time, five or six days too.
"They can recover. When it's three days, you have to take a look.
"The players feel well so we'll see. We are going to have three training sessions before we play Wigan but we will decide on the team on the day."
City, who are 1213.00 to win the FA Cup this season, are 1.12 to win at Wigan on Monday, while the hosts are 41.00 to emulate their shock 1-0 win against City in the 2013 FA Cup final at Wembley and the draw is priced at 10.00.

Simone Weil on Colonialism: An Ethic of the Other (After the Empire: The Francophone World & Postcolonial France)By: Simone Weil (author), J. P. Little (translator)Hardback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionIn 1931, Simone Weil read an article by Louis Roubaud in the Petit Parisien that exposed the Yen Bay massacre in Indochina. That article opened Weil's eyes, and from then until her death in exile in 1943, she cared most deeply about the French colonial situation. Weil refused to accept the contradiction between the image of France as champion of the rights of man and the reality of France's exploitation and oppression of the peoples in its territories. Weil wrote thirteen articles or letters about the situation, writings originally published in French journals or in French collections of her work. J. P. Little's fluid and clear translations finally introduce to English-speaking scholars and students this important element of Weil's political consciousness.
About AuthorJ. P. Little, one of the world's most respected scholars of Simone Weil, is the author of Simone Weil: Waiting on Truth and numerous articles and conference presentations on Weil's life and work. She is lecturer in French (emerita) at St. Patrick's College, Dublin.

PCSOs in Powys are adopting Post Offices to provide reassurance and spread crime prevention messages in key locations.
Since April 2016 a pilot has been running at 12 Post Offices in the division, and has proved so successful that it is now being rolled out officially.
The Adopt a Post Office scheme sees Neighbourhood Policing Teams regularly visiting Post Offices at peak times, speaking with customers and members of staff to ensure that strong links are maintained within communities.
PCSOs can also arrange for crime prevention advice leaflets and posters to be displayed at the Post Office, and to hold regular community surgeries at the location.
The scheme is a national model, and has been proven to improve relationships between Post Office staff and the police, giving people the confidence to report potential criminal behaviour.
Dyfed-Powys Police Partnerships Inspector Stuart Eckley said: "Post Offices are key locations where members of the community, particularly the elderly and those living in rural areas, regularly visit. This makes them an ideal place in which we can interact with the public.
"People may have something on their mind they'd like to discuss with an officer but don't go out of their way to visit a police station or call 101 as they don't feel it's significant enough.
"The aim is to reach residents we might otherwise struggle to engage with. We'll be passing on important information like warning against distraction burglary, bogus callers and courier fraud.
"After the success of our Adopt a Post Office trial it made sense for us to 'adopt' Post Offices across Powys in some of our key communities. We have found the scheme to be very beneficial so far, and hope that we can replicate these benefits across the county."
The launch event will take place at Llandrinio Post Office, where a positive relationship has been forged with local officers.
Post Office Head of Security Operations Mark Raymond added: "We are always looking to create new partnerships with the police which will benefit not just our two organisations, but the community as a whole.
"The Post Office remains at the heart of communities up and down the country, and we are happy to provide locations in Dyfed-Powys for the police to utilise, in terms of liaising with customers and conveying key security messages."
The scheme will be officially launched at Llandrinio Post Office at 11am on Thursday, July 13.

Daesh FTFs in Syria «Lack Basic Understanding of Islam»
Local Editor
According to a new report, young men who leave their homes to fight for terrorist groups in Syria mainly come from disadvantaged backgrounds, have low levels of education and "lack any basic understanding of the true meaning of 'jihad' or even the Islamic faith".
A study for the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism found that despite claiming to protect Muslims, most of the returned foreign terrorist fighters [FTFs] were "novices" in their religion and some did not know how to pray properly.
"Most saw their religion in terms of justice and injustice rather than in terms of piety and spirituality," said the authors of the report, which was based on interviews with 43 people from 12 countries.
They found that a typical fighter "is most likely to be male, young and disadvantaged economically, educationally, and in terms of the labor market".
"He is also more likely than not to come from a marginalized background, both socially and politically," the reported added.
"Most were unemployed, or underemployed, and/or said that their life lacked meaning."
Three quarters of those interviewed reached Syria but subsequently decided to leave, while others were intercepted by authorities in their own country or stopped en route.
Despite an appeal to all UN member states, the authors expressed regret that only seven countries agreed to participate in the study - three from the EU and four from the Middle East and North Africa.
Professor Hamed el-Said, of Manchester Metropolitan University, and terrorism expert Richard Barrett met most of the returnees in prison or under the watchful eye of security services.
The majority of interviewed fighters, who attempted to join groups including the Wahhabi Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"], al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham, came from large and dysfunctional families in deprived parts of cities where they were "isolated from mainstream social, economic and political activity".
"Religious belief seems to have played a minimal role in the motivation of this sample," the report found, saying economic factors had become more important as terrorist groups promised wages, homes and even wives.
The findings supported previous research using leaked Daesh documents, which showed that most recruits profess to have only a "basic" knowledge of reilgion, and warnings of a growing "crime-terror nexus" seeing violent criminals travel to Syria in the hope of "redemption".
Following the declaration of Daesh in 2014, the group produced a huge amount of propaganda seeking to attract Muslims with the promise of life free of supposed Western oppression, lived in comfort and peace.
Rose-tinted videos sought to present a utopian existence, showing smiling militants engaging in activities like bee-keeping, farming and even pizza-making as Western fighters used Twitter to broadcast images of palatial homes, swimming pools and expensive cars provided by the "caliphate".
The UN report said the propaganda exerted a powerful pull on young men who feel they have little prospects at home, especially when combined with perceived grievances and a wish to protect Sunni Muslims in areas of Syria.
"For some, this sense of brotherhood was reinforced by a sense of religious obligation," it said.
"The respondents of this survey claimed they did not go to Syria with the intention of becoming a terrorist, nor did they return with that purpose in mind."
Despite the role of propaganda sparking a global crackdown on extremist online activity, the report found that among surveyed fighters, the internet played "a far less significant role as an independent source of radicalization than is generally assumed, and certainly a far less significant role than real life contact".
The authors found that would-be "jihadis" went online to confirm and strengthen ideas that were already taking root, adding: "The internet then played a key role in reinforcing a decision that had in part been taken already."
Far more important was friendship circles and social networks formed around mosques, prisons, schools, universities, neighborhoods or the workplace - a conclusion supported by the high number of known British militants who were part of radical networks or left the country with friends and relatives.
The UN report said identity politics played a key role in radicalization, warning of "significant policy implications" arising from perceived injustice and discrimination.
It added: "Bad governance, especially disregard for the rule of law, discriminatory social policies, political exclusion of certain communities...harassment by the security authorities, and confiscation of passports or other identity documents, all contribute to feelings of despair, resentment, and animosity towards the government and provide fertile ground for the terrorist recruiter."
Although their accounts are highly unreliable, several imprisoned former Daesh members have blamed the security services for their radicalization.

President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Friday, an appropriations bill that gives the Pentagon $618.7 billion, including $67 billion for overseas contingency operations (OCO), $3.2 billion more than the White House requested.
The additional OCO funding authorized by Congress will be used to give U.S. troops a 2.1 percent pay raise and increase the number of active duty Marines, Army and Air Force personnel in foreign countries.
Also attached to the 2017 NDAA is the relatively unknown Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016, a bill first introduced in March which orders the establishment of an interagency organization to "expose and counter foreign information operations directed against U.S. national security interests and advance fact-based narratives that support U.S. allies and interests."
The anti-propaganda program will be run through a "Global Engagement Center", coordinated by the State and Defense departments, along with the Director of National Intelligence and the Broadcasting Board of Governors — the latter being an independent U.S. government agency that promotes American values around the world.
Specifically, the Engagement Center will be charged with first, publishing "fact-based narratives and analysis to counter propaganda and disinformation directed at United States allies and partners." Second, identifying nations "most susceptible to foreign government propaganda and disinformation." And lastly, working with "allied and partner nations, particularly those frequently targeted by foreign disinformation operations . . . in order to amplify the Center's efforts and avoid duplication."
The legislation, co-sponsored by Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), also permits funding for non-governmental organizations that are involved in anti-propaganda campaigns to "help foster a free and vibrant press and civil society overseas".
"The use of propaganda to undermine democracy has hit a new low," Sen. Murphy said in a statement. "But now we are finally in a position to confront this threat head on and get out the truth. By building up independent, objective journalism in places like eastern Europe, we can start to fight back by exposing these fake narratives and empowering local communities to protect themselves."
While the creation of a coordinated anti-propaganda campaign may seemingly be a singular response to Russia's apparent effort to manipulate November's presidential election through hacks of campaign communications, China responded to the news earlier in the week claiming to be victims of U.S. government targeting.
"The initial purpose of this bill was certainly against Russia," said U.S. relations expert Shi Yinhong of Renmin University, a Chinese research institution. "But with the close relationship enjoyed by President-elect Donald Trump and his business interests in Russia, it now seems this bill is totally against China.
According to a college-level history text edited by a Hong Kong professor, this isn't the first time the American government has made public efforts to counter foreign propaganda. In the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. Information Agency had offices in the then-British colony broadcasting to mainland China and providing regional information to other news media globally.

Welcome to my blog, Niamh's Nook of Inspiration. This is my blog to share everything I'm passionate about and write down the musings of my mind.
I'm a deep thinker who likes to write a lot and also likes to get absorbed in my creations, making jewellary, handmade cards, altered items and pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Since I was a child I was fascinated with arts and crafts and they came back into my life in 2008. Needless to say my home is now a world of crafty goodness.
I do a lot of meditation, not as much as I used to, but it often results in me writing poetry and I'd like somewhere to share my poems with you all.
I've created a number of blogs over the past while but never managed to keep on top of them, I also had a website to. I've now closed my website and my old blog is in the process of being closed and will show all my work on this blog, so watch this space.....

User Summary
In 2114, Professor Hybrys invented a new extreme game and announced a fabulous price of one thousand Kronurs to whomever would be able to beat the 80 levels of his new invention, Titan. He conveniently forgot to mention that all the playtesters died during the game. A lot of adventurers have since tried to win, none if them have come back. Do you have enough skill to succeed where so many others have failed?
Titan is an arcade-puzzle mix. The player guides a ball across the levels and must either destroy every brick of the level, or push the ball through the exit tile if there is one. Hazards are numerous, including tiles deadly to the ball but not to the player (and vice versa), disappearing walls, teleport traps, walls that allow only the ball to pass through... The player can put the ball in a loop, or catch it and release it later, giving time to study the level and look for a solution. The player can also hold the space bar down to slow down the pace of the game.
Version notes:
The Amstrad CPC cassette edition has only 16 levels.

While observing my son, Devan (5 yrs), who was eagerly watching Mr. Bean cartoon in youtube channel. I couldn't help it but to compare the recent situation to the situation decades ago, when I was at his age.
When I was 5 years old, in 1984, I grew up with limited, but not deprived, conditions. TVRI was the only TV station. Little did I realize this condition trained me to be patient and to wait. To wait my favorite show schedule. Everything was at its pace, you could say there's a schedule for everything, including my studying schedule every day from 19:00 until 21:00. These conditions built my personality, being a patient person, willing to wait, willing to go through a process, before I could get the result.
Let's compare it to what my son experiences right now . Currently we are in a era where we can access on any kind of information on demand that suits our needs . As I was writing this article, my son was enjoying his favorite movie . He doesn't have to experience the moments when you had to wait to access the movie you wanted to watch . Youtube offers it all , it's just waiting for us to access them . This condition will unconsciously make him as a person wanting evertyhing right here and right now.
Is it his fault? No, not at all . One more thing I remember , when I wanted a toy , my dad always said "Sorry, son. I don't have any money" . Now , instead of saying "Sorry, I don't have any money " , I prefer to say, "The money is there, Son, but I have to save it first ". This is to teach my son about the process before we can get anything we want . Or the statement , "Money is easy , if you know how to earn it! " I think it will encourage our children to try to find a way to earn the money. Well , this is just my personal opinion .
I remember a poem by Khalil Gibran on Children :
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable. – Khalil Gibran
Our children will one day live in a era that may be totally different to the era in which we live now . As parents, we have to prepare them to face the challenges of life in the future .
Greetings !

The colony of Roanoke - 1590
In this spooky, but family friendly, escape adventure, we are sending you back to England's first attempted permanent colony in the Americas….Roanoke. Expecting a colony full of settlers, you discover something much more eerie. Everyone has vanished… The tables are still set for dinner, the coals are still hot, but no one in the entire colony can be found. There is no sign of violence and any written accounts of the events appear to be locked up securely. The only cryptic clue as to what has gone on is the word: CROATOAN carved into the wood.
Even worse, you find that you are trapped here. The rest of the time traveling agents left you alone in the eerie stillness of a world where you might just disappear next. You have 1 hour to discover the mysteries of Roanoke, to identify a suspect associated with the disappearance, to find the missing gears of your pocket watch, and to repair the time machine. Will you escape or will you become the next part of the legend of the LOST COLONY?

Signal Processing and Linear Systems
This text presents a comprehensive treatment of signal processing and linear systems suitable for juniors and seniors in electrical engineering. Based on B. P. Lathi's widely used book, Linear Systems and Signals, it features additional applications to communications, controls, and filtering as well as new chapters on analog and digital filters and digital signal processing. Lathi emphasizes the physical appreciation of concepts rather than the mere mathematical manipulation of symbols. Avoiding the tendency to treat engineering as a branch of applied mathematics, he uses mathematics to enhance physical and intuitive understanding of concepts, instead of employing it only to prove axiomatic theory. Theoretical results are supported by carefully chosen examples and analogies, allowing students to intuitively discover meaning for themselves.

Breaking bread
|Pantry people
|This is it, pancit!
It's good practice, cooking for many. I don't usually get to cook for that number of people. Sometimes I miss, and the end-product is bland, but I like to think that most times my creations are a hit.
Mostly it's noodles, and corned beef, and once an egg salad spread. Next week I want to make them afternoon pancakes.
The Pantry Gang is more than two years old now (since we moved to Makati) but we have not been having snacks (and taking pictures of ourselves doing so) as often. It does not mean we are less cohesive. On the contrary, the ups and downs of staying in this organization have brought us closer.
I can honestly say I have never met a more resilient, committed bunch in one setting. It's always a joy to break bread with them.

Signs remembering Johnny on the door of his former shop.
By Matthew Friedman
The Upper West Side lost a longtime neighborhood fixture last month with the passing of Johnny Avery. A sign on the door of his former shop, on the west side of Columbus Avenue between 85th Street and 86th Street, alerted the neighborhood to his death. He was 75 years old.
Known to most just as "Johnny" and to some as "New York Johnny," the man ran the small shop, Johnny's Books, for decades and decades. Selling all types of books and items such as sunglasses and scarves, Mr. Avery would sit on the street outside his store, always accompanied by a new song streaming from a radio next to him. In a 2006 profile of Johnny's Books, author Caroline Dworin observed that throughout all of the neighborhood's gentrification, "the shop has remained much the same, a tumbledown homestead, an anachronism of clutter."
"He was not only a part of the neighborhood, but he was the neighborhood," recalled Ray Smith, who has lived near the shop for more than thirty years. At the shop's peak, Mr. Smith noted, Mr. Avery was always there. Not rain nor snow nor a blazing summer heat wave could deter him.
Johnny's Books sometime in the 1980's. Photo by Stephen Harmon.
Upper West Siders recalled that Mr. Avery had a special hello for almost everyone in the neighborhood and that he treated those on the street with a friendly politeness. "With his crazy, abstract sense of humor, he distilled a moment down into a greeting," said Michael McGuire, who began hanging out in the shop when he moved to the Upper West Side at the age of nine in the early 1970s. "My mom felt safe if I sat with Johnny," he said.
This sense of safety extended past Mr. McGuire. "He told Gregory and other neighborhood kids that if anyone gave them a hard time they should come see him," wrote Susan Dominus in a 2008 article for The New York Times. "They did, but they came just for fun, too, whiling away the hours reading Fantastic Four comics, listening to Mr. Avery — he was always just Johnny — talk about the mystical powers of the color purple, or simply hanging out, spilling out among the racks of magazines and books that Mr. Avery put out on the street every morning."
Passersby near the old alley remembered Mr. Avery's obsession with the color purple. At one point, they said, he replaced the perfectly functional orange awning just to be able to paint the new one his favorite color. This and other eccentricities, when coupled with his neighborliness, made Johnny an area mainstay. "Everyone knew Johnny," declared Ellie, an Upper West Sider for 79 years.
By the mid-2000s, though, people said, Mr. Avery realized that the shop's time was dwindling. "He was okay to let the shop sort of have its sunset," Mr. McGuire remembered. Johnny no longer opened up every day, and, according to The New York Times, his landlord evicted the store in 2007.
City Council member Helen Rosenthal, who represents the Upper West Side, sent out a statement regarding Johnny's death:
"I was deeply sorry to hear about Mr. Avery's passing and want to express my gratitude to him for all his kindness over the years to his fellow Upper West Siders and for the wonderful creative and artistic contributions he made to our community. Johnny was a wonderful example of the richness of our neighborhood. His passing highlights the loss we are experiencing of some of the neighbors and businesses that have built the unique character of the Upper West Side. Maintaining that diversity is one of our most important tasks."
The neighborhood has continued to change since the shop closed. The door to the shop is now a fire exit for an apartment building and last year H & H Midtown Bagels East replaced the laundromat that for years had flanked the shop on its south side. The younger people on Columbus Avenue hurry past the old alley, failing to notice the small sign on the shop's door. For the Upper West Siders who recall the shop's bright purple awning and Mr. Avery's friendly banter, though, the sign brings a sense of melancholy. They remember an old friend and a neighborhood of the past, hoping that they can carry on even just a bit of the bookseller's spirit.
There will be a memorial service for Johnny on Saturday, July 15 at 11 a.m. Meet at 72nd Street and Central Park West, Northeast corner.
He went on to sell stuff at the W77th St. inside at the cafeteria space. He did this for years until he Gett there was no longer enough in sales to pay for the rental on his table. He had a Bluetooth speaker for his tunes that was the first one I had ever seen. Sometimes his son would be there. I purchased stuff and we talked about this and that.
It was that flea market.
I remember him fondly. Thanks for the photo. That was back when we had a laundromat. Another thig Helen wouldn't help us with.
I enjoyed your feature piece on Johnny. It was well written, first class journalism with feeling. Cheers, Rag
Johnny was a great neighborhood ambassador of smiles and color.
I miss his purpleness and street savvy.
I like him, he was kind. Used to buy pot from him too lol.

Optimum purchasing processes for your business
prof.ITplus can automatically generate shopping lists to meet demands and replenish stock, to then be approved for purchase. Your customer service need never suffer again due to long-winded, repetitive processes that delay your customers receiving their orders.
Our system intelligently draws together all elements at play ensuring efficient stock levels. prof.ITplus will look at customer orders, works orders, current stock, pre-set minimum / maximum stock levels, seasonal trends and sales forecasts to compile purchase orders. What's more the ordered quantities will be broken down into numbers for stock, customer orders or works orders. Perfect for efficient handling when the order is delivered – no more misallocated stock.
Purchasing takes skill but even the best staff struggle without the power of software automation. Issues such as over-stocking, impulse purchasing, habitual purchasing, over-reliance on one supplier, a lack of planning and not taking advantage of economies of scale all have a detrimental effect on cash flow, efficiency and profitability.
If your purchasing is uncontrolled, your business is likely to be leaking significant amounts of money.
Select your supplier based on best-price
Once your purchase order has been compiled and approved, the system will allow you to send it to multiple suppliers with the ability to record the responses before deciding where to place the order for best value. Imagine the savings possible by ensuring you get best value every time.
The system will also prompt users to ensure minimum order values and carriage-paid thresholds are met.
Supplier price negotiation
View all orders placed with any of your suppliers. Accurate details of supplier / product spend provides you with the ammunition for improved negotiation powers with your suppliers. Another way prof.ITplus drives through best value for your business.

Every time Shaun Zanker closes his eyes at night, he sees his colleague's dead body rolling out of black plastic into a ready-made bush grave.
Zanker, known as "Shorty" because spina bifida stunted his growth, has pleaded not guilty to the July 2014 murder of Jacob Munro, whose body was found months later in a grave at Bulahdelah State Forest, north of Newcastle.
The 27-year-old on Friday denied any involvement in plans or discussions to kill Mr Munro and told of his horror when he watched his colleagues roll the body into the bush grave.
"Every time I close my eyes at night, that's what I see," Zanker said.
He testified in the NSW Supreme Court that he helped dig a grave for Mr Munro and then nine days later, helped bury him there.
But it was his three cannabis plantation colleagues at Schofields in western Sydney, Donald Cameron, Stanley Forward and David Ian Wilkinson, who planned to kill Mr Munro and then carried it out, he said.
The men, including Zanker, had developed a hatred of Mr Munro and Cameron was afraid he would blow their cover about the illegal cannabis crop, the court heard.
Zanker was adamant that he just wanted Mr Munro off the work site because they didn't get on, but he didn't want him dead.
"Did you ever think he was going to be killed?" defence lawyer Iain Todd asked.
"No, never, not for a second," Zanker replied.
The first time Zanker was aware of any plan to kill Mr Munro was in the car on the way to dig the grave, but he didn't believe it would happen, he said.
On the day of the murder, Zanker said he walked into the cannabis shed and saw Cameron, Forward and Wilkinson standing over Mr Munro's body.
Realising it was Forward who had stabbed him, Zanker told the court he said: "What have you done?"
Cameron and Wilkinson bundled the body in black plastic, loaded it into a car and the four drove to the prepared grave, the court heard.
Crown prosecutor Lou Lungo suggested Zanker was part of plans to kill Mr Munro although he was not in the room when the victim was stabbed.
Zanker denied the allegation, at times interrupting Mr Lungo.
"You are getting a bit agitated," the prosecutor said.
"Because you are calling me a liar," he replied
"That's exactly what I'm calling you."
Cameron and Forward have pleaded guilty to murder and Wilkinson has pleaded guilty to being an accessory.

Katy Perry Did Not Write '1984' - Song Rumors Are False!
Rumors spreading that Katy Perry wrote a song called "1984," which most people assumed to be about her feud with Taylor Swift, are not true. (Taylor's latest album is titled 1989.)
The 30-year-old singer's team has released a statement to squash all of the rumors that are spreading after the song was reportedly registered to the music-licensing organization BMI under her name.
"Katy Perry's managers at Direct Management Group confirm that this story is completely false," the singer's rep told Billboard. "Katy was not involved in writing, singing, recording or registering this song."

The City of Merriam is seeking consulting services to prepare a comprehensive land use plan. Using the City's existing plan as the beginning point, the new, updated plan will provide vision, goals, objectives, and policies to guide the City's development and redevelopment for the next 20 years. The plan will guide City Council, various advisory boards, planning commission, staff, and residents on the appropriate growth and redevelopment for Merriam.
The updated plan will integrate all aspects of urban development including demographics, land use recommendations, public facilities, transportation, environmental, and trends. A critical component of the plan will be setting the vision for the City's development and redevelopment. The vision component will need to analyze how technology is changing land use planning. A key component of the plan will be an analysis of the impact that disruptive technologies (ride sharing, short-term residential rentals, driverless vehicles, electric scooters, and bicycles, etc.) will have on land uses in Merriam.
The comprehensive planning process will be modeled after the successful Shawnee Mission Parkway Corridor Plan procedure. The planning process will be guided by a steering committee appointed by the Mayor. The Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee will work directly with the consulting firm selected to undertake the comprehensive plan update.

Critic Reviews for Romance of Astrea and Celadon
All Critics (41) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (28) | Rotten (13) | DVD (1)
Rohmer left the stage with an audacious flourish, infusing a fifth-century pastoral fantasy (adapted from a seventeenth-century novel) with a lifetime of stories, passions, and big ideas.
In what he claims will be his final film, 87-year-old Eric Rohmer fashions a serenely daffy coda to a half a lifetime spent behind the camera exploring the vicissitudes of romance.
It's often as fresh and buoyant as [Rohmer's] modern takes on the battle of the sexes.
It is the wisdom, passion, joy and hope with which he invests the film that makes it so terribly moving.
The movie looks and feels exactly how it probably was to make: like a walk in the park.
The nymphs and druids who frolic through The Romance of Astrea and Celadon occupy mythological space between Shakespeare and Greek mythology.

Yesterday, saw "Never Apologize", Malcolm McDowell's one-man show about Lindsay Anderson. A lot of the information was already known, because so much of it was covered in Gavin Lambert's book "Mainly About Lindsay Anderson", and a lot of the information on the filming of the Mick Travis trilogy ("If...", "O Lucky Man" and "Britannia Hospital") was covered in the press notes that were handed out when Anthology Film Archives screened new prints of the trilogy last year. So there were no real surprises, and the "film" was actually simply a recording of the stage presentation. Nothing really tricky attempted by Mike Kaplan as director.
Today, saw Jacques Becker's "Goupi Mains Rouges"; saw it years ago... this time, the rural satire got a bit heavy-handed, but it was still amusing. One thing, though: we often see movies in isolation, and we don't realize that some people may have actual careers. In Dreyer's "Vampyr", the father of the two girls, the man who dies trying to protect his daughters, is played by Maurice Schutz. I never gave it much thought, but Maurice Schutz was a professional actor, and he was in a number of other movies, including "Goupi Mains Rouges", where he plays the patriarch of the family, Goupi L'Empereur.
Larry and i watched "Monk" and "Psych" tonight; "Monk" seems to have undergone a revival, the last two episodes have been very clever, and "Psych" remains consistently amusing, though Maggie Lawson has been underused this season. Sorry that i didn't see "Swingtown"; have seen two episodes, and found it intriguing, and there are a number of people in the cast (Molly Parker, Jack Davenport) who have proven themselves in other films or shows.
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" is opening soon, and it's symptomatic of the vagaries of show business. Three years ago, when the first film was released, Blake Lively was almost totally overlooked, America Ferrara had been in the indie film "Real Women Have Curves", but Amber Tamblyn was in the midst of a big p.r. hype for the (short-lived) TV series "Joan of Arcadia" and Alexis Bledel was in the midst of the run of "The Gilmore Girls", so Bledel and Tamblyn were the ones attracting the publicity. Well: "Joan of Arcadia" went the way of all critically-acclaimed TV shows that attract a small audience, and "The Gilmore Girls" ended its run... but America Ferrara has been "Ugly Betty" for two seasons, and Blake Lively is now "Gossip Girl". It's not as if their talents have changed that drastically, it's just that the circumstances surrounding each young woman has changed. It's like "Project Runway", one day you're in, the next, you're out. During the first film, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel were in, and America Ferrara and Blake Lively were out, and with the sequel, it's reversed.

Item Code: AP101
Item Description: Apples (vlookup value)
Quantity per Box: 100 (vlookup value)
Required Quantity: 1,000pcs
This should generate 10 labels(3 copies on an A4 paper) with the details above and numbering from AP101-001, AP101-002, AP101-003, etc until AP101-010. If I put in 10,000pcs, then I get 100 labels up to AP101-100.

Endless: A computer the rest of the world can affordJul 09, 2015, 12:00 (0 Talkback[s])
What sets the Endless apart from other low cost machines is Endless OS, a highly customized version of Ubuntu Linux with Gnome (and lots of other interesting technology such as Xapian and OStree) that not only handles TVs as output devices (it scales and formats video output for readability), but also includes a huge library of applications and educational content.
This is important because in emerging markets the Endless system will be useful and well-featured even if you don't have any kind of networking services available.

Contrary to what you might think, I am not a Democrat. Don't call me a Republican, unless you really want to evoke the wrath of Hannabelle. Independent? Not when it comes to politics. Green Party? Libertarian? I like anything with "liberty" in it's roots, but I'm wise enough to know that if you bet on a one-legged dog at the racetrack, odds of you winning are mighty slim. Before Nexus (B.N.), I liked to label myself a "Free-Thinker". But I've changed. Thinking is no longer free in our country, unless you keep your thoughts to yourself. Voice them and you may expect a lawsuit. And trust me, lawyers aren't free. Now, A.N. (After Nexus), I consider myself a "Rationalist", or a "Realist". I've always voted for Democrats because they represent my personal ideology better than the Republicans. And somebody once told me that we live in a democracy where we vote for leaders to represent We The People. HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah. Right. They weren't from Nexusville.
The one label which does apply to me is "Voter". George Carlin used to say that he didn't vote, therefore he couldn't take the blame for the outcome. I always took the stance that if you don't vote, you can't complain about the outcome. (And as you know, Hannabelle has a talent for complaining.) I can take credit for the Clinton years. The last eight years are other people's fault. I voted, but lost. Actually, with Bush we all lost.
So yes, I am a Voter. But, I have to admit that I haven't done my job well in the past. I've never had a problem making up my mind about candidates running for top offices. I've paid attention. I know who I want for my president. But, after you get done with the meat and potatoEs, there is a long list of names at the end of the ballot. Names you never heard of. People running for justices and judges. Unknowns running for jobs at the bottom of the food chain. And those Unopposed guys. This is where I've failed. I always checked the box for the single, unopposed candidates. But that was B.N.
This election, I voted early. With the Internet, I researched the candidates and chose my judges wisely. (I might end up in front of them!) Those unopposed? I left the ballot blank. Those nebulous candidates I couldn't find information about? I left the ballot blank. If they wanted my vote, they should have provided me with a reason. For school board I did NOT vote for the son of the councilman who thought that his OPINION that 94 sex offenders in MY neighborhood shouldn't bother me because it didn't bother him OVERRULED my opinion that yes, they bother me. I guess that's why he changed the ordinances to remove any obstacles - i.e. me. The pine nut doesn't fall far from the tree...
Because of what happened to me - being denied a vote in a situation which would personally most affect my life, having my own Constitutional rights blown right out of the book of city ordinances, and being unable to have a say in my own fate - I've changed. I am now a Realist. I am acutely aware of the importance of elections. I'm sick of greedy corporatists who put their own interests before those of the American people. I want sane, rational, smart, qualified people to run the country. Don't you? And if you are lucky enough to have voting privilege, you would be dumb not to vote. Right?
Not so fast. Perhaps you shouldn't vote. For starters, since this election is the first one in the New Age of After Nexus - (N.A. of A.N.), I really paid attention. I mean REALLY paid attention. I got informed. I sifted through the propaganda and hoopla. After diligently educating myself, the choice was ever so clear - Barack Obama and Joe Biden. No question. Al Franken for U.S. Senate. Jim Oberstar for U.S. Representative. Gail Kulick-Jackson for State Representative. Easy decisions. I didn't choose to vote for them because they all happen to be Democrats. They are just the best choice. Period.
Some of my neighbors (yes, the same ones on whose behalf I tried so hard to fight Nexus and the Onamia council) are loyal, die-hard Republicans. Remember, I told you about the Sondra Erickson and McCain/Palin signs in their yards. One of these neighbors told me that he didn't read the newspaper, not even the local Mille Lacs Messenger. He didn't even read the Mille Lacs News or the Bradbury Buzzz during the Nexus Invasion! Wow! Talk about head in the sand. He also disclosed that he doesn't follow the television news - like CNN or MSNBC, or even (gag) Fox. His family likes to watch "American Idol", he said. Naturally, being uninformed, he would choose to vote for Palin/McCain.
(Many similarly ignorant supporters - like my neighbor - voted for George Bush TWICE!!!) But Sondra Erickson? She is partly responsible for sticking the sex offenders next to day care, elderly widows, children and vulnerable adults! I can see not biting the hand that feeds you. But she didn't lift a finger to "feed" us. Just excuses and denials of culpability. Why vote for a politician who supported the removal of your own Constitutional rights? There's that Nexusville "Epidemic of Stupid" again.
Now, I'm not saying that if you don't agree with my politics that you shouldn't vote. But if you are uninformed, stop everything you're doing and get informed now! Before its too late. Pay attention. It IS important. Don't just go with the flow and vote for McCain/Palin because you are a joiner, a social-climber, a fitter-inner, a Joe-Six-Pack or Joe-The-Plumber wannabe, like Sarah Palin's new outfit, or are a loyal member of the Bamboozlement Party. Don't believe the negative emails and robo-calls. Check it out. Educate yourself. Chances are that if you can dig through all of the crap being flung at you, you'll discover that what's "trickling down" on you isn't wealth.... To be blunt, we've all been pissed on for the past 8 years.
And do you really want somebody like YOURSELF determining the fate of the country? I don't. Uh... Foot in mouth.... I mean, I don't want the average person in high office. I want the best and the brightest, the one who I might not want to have a beer or shoot moose with. I want someone so competent that I might not HAVE to pay so much attention and can relax and enjoy my life, knowing that the country is in good hands. I want the best choice. And the best choice this election is clear.
Vote smart, or don't vote at all. Pay attention. It's too important not to.

Understanding Energy
We all know that light bulbs usually are labeled between 40 and 100 watts, but can you conceptualize what that actually means? When you turn off that light, how much energy are you saving? What could be done with that amount of energy? In order to start making a dent in reducing our energy use, we have to understand the magnitude of the energy that we currently use- and it is huge. I will be writing a series of blog posts aiming to explain the magnitude of energy that we use, what we do with it, where it comes from, and what our options for the future are.
First, a Quick Physics Review
Starting at the bottom, a newton is a unit of force and is equal to about a quarter pound. So, a hamburger sitting on a countertop exerts about a newton of force downward and the counter exerts a newton back to keep it in place.
Energy, or the ability to do work, is force times distance. A joule, a unit of energy, is one newton over one meter. Lifting the hamburger one meter off the counter uses about one joule of energy.
A watt is a measure or power, or work over time. If a force says how strong you are and energy is how much work you do, power says how fast you can do that work. So, moving the hamburger 1 meter in 1 second takes about 1 watt of power. If you move it slower, in 4 seconds, you are less powerful, at only .25 watts.
If you're still a bit confused, this video may help.
Human Power
Humans do not generate much power. Think about a person who consumes 2000 calories in a day. Every calorie from food (kCal) is equal to 4200 joules of energy. Used over the course of a day (86,400 seconds), this person uses an average of 97.2 joules a second, meaning they have an average power of 97.2 watts. Certainly a person could juggle quite a few hamburgers, but in the end humans only average the power of a bright lightbulb.
Of course, that is an average usage. A person can be more powerful than that, but not by a whole lot. The world record holder furthest biked in one hour, Ondrej Sonsenka, generated an average of 430 watts during his ride of about 30 miles. This elite athlete might be able to power your living room for a movie night (100 w for 32" LCD TV, 50 w for DVD player, 50w for the cable box and a couple light bulbs), but couldn't create the power needed for the microwave popcorn to go with it (modern microwaves average 1000 w while in use).
Though there are clever technological advancements to hook gym equipment up to ipod chargers, we simply cannot revert to using only human power, or even animal power, to create the energy used in our society. Lets consider cars. There are about 746 watts in one unit of horsepower. The power of an average 110 horsepower car is equal to 82,000 watts. It would take 190 Sosenka-caliber-athletes to power that one car. If all 6.5 billion people on the planet pedaled that hard at the same time, we could power more than 34 million cars. It sounds like a lot, but there are an estimated 250 million passenger cars in the United States alone. It also does not include delivery trucks, or airplanes, or trains. We can no longer go the places we go, at the speeds we do it, under our own power. Not even close.
Fossil Fuels vs Human Power
The power we use as a nation has far exceeded the ability to power ourselves, as other organisms do. We are the only creatures that do not simply absorb our energy (from the sun, or by eating), but we extract it, manipulate it, store it externally, use it consciously and for specific purposes. We are able to use and transport all the energy that we do because it is incredibly cheap to do so.
New technology has created the ability to turn gym equipment into generators for small appliances, like iPod chargers. While it is convenient and worth it to plug into your energy if you are working out anyway, it's doubtful that we could pay people to power our homes. Currently citizens of philadelphia pay about 16 cents for a kWh of energy (1000 watts of power for an hour). If we hooked up Ondrej Sonsenka to a perfectly efficient generator and he pedaled at a power of 430 watts, it would take 2.33 hours to create 1 kWh of energy. Because federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 cents, one kWh of athlete-power would cost, at minimum, $16.89. That is 100 times more expensive than electricity from the power plant in Philadelphia.
For a second comparison, the cost of a gallon of gas is getting pretty steep- maybe $3.75 a gallon. This one gallon releases 36.6 kWh of energy when burned. To generate the same power using an olympic athlete would take almost 85 hours of hard work. This would cost you $616.25. Gas is dirt cheap, comparatively.
Why we Use Fossil Fuels
Human power is the truest "renewable" energy resource. There is no extra input, no construction, no maintenance, no dangerous waste products and no extra CO2. Yet to hire someone to jog laps to power your appliances would be absurd. Because of our intelligence, a person's time is much more valuable than the physical labor that we can do. From the moment a horse was first hooked to a plow, humans have exported our energy needs. Since then, the industrial revolution allowed us to harness the true efficiency of our being by not having to do physical work, unless the job requires human intelligence or dexterity. The rise of fossil fuels has allowed human thought, creativity and interaction to be valued far more than labor, even more than ever before. This is the power of our fuels and why we use them. Energy has allowed our society to flourish, but unfortunately the negative environmental and social impacts are becoming more and more apparent.
Next time you flick a light switch, consider this. What is the value of that energy to you? What does it mean for your life? What could you live without if it became too costly?

WHAT I WORE: Houston Livestock Show & RodeoMonday, March 11, 2013
Last week I attended the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo as I do every year. I went with my roommate and her sister and husband to see Mary J. Blige. Typically the first Friday of the Rodeo is Black Heritage Day and they bring in a stellar African-American artist. I believe last year it was John Legend, and this year MJB. Val's sister received 4 tickets to attend the concert VIP. When we arrived we were right in front of the action, 7 rows from the barricade blocking us from the wild bulls! Of course we were late and only managed to see chuckwagon racing and mutton-bustin, but that was still fun. We enjoyed free food & drinks and a great show by Mary. This is what I wore to the concert.

Ain't It Cool is reporting that the first solo Star Wars movie (re: not a part of the main saga) will revolve around Yoda. Vulture had previously indicated that Zack Snyder was being sought for a Seven Samurai-inspired solo Star Wars film. Could they be the same thing?
Actually, a part of me thinks that they could. The reason has to do with George Lucas including a nod to Seven Samurai in Revenge of the Sith by having Yoda rub his head in a manner similar to how the character of Kambei Shimada frequently does in Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece. When George announced Episode VII, he said he had ideas for other movies, and I can't help but wonder if that subtle tribute stuck in his head and one of those ideas is Yoda and a bunch of Jedi defending a helpless planet.
Regardless, I've read a lot of speculation that has this film starring an older Yoda, but who is to say that is to be the case? The best-case scenario that I could think of would be to set it well before the Star Wars saga, especially if Lucasfilm wants to branch off into other eras of that universe. It'd be a safer bet setting a movie 900 years before the main saga and including at least one familiar character than starting from scratch. Or it could be moved up in the timeline. A part of me wouldn't mind seeing it set with Yoda and his young apprentice Dooku, fleshing out more of that backstory from the saga. Or it could be (and likely is) something else entirely. In any case, they should probably get Weird Al on the line for theme song rights…

Flowers and Snacks
(click comic for larger view)
Flowers and Snacks
Okay, this is the last comic for awhile, but I had an inspiration and thought that I would try to draw one on the computer. Well, how do you like it? Do you like the color and the design better than the others? Let me know in the comments if you have a moment. I have to say that this new color process has its advantages and disadvantages, just like the process I used for the first two comics. My favorite part of this one, comic number three, is how the frames are different sizes but the picture has some continuity. I am also pleased with how Zeb turned out. I think that I am beginning to get a hold on drawing him. Dana the dog is a bit harder; she's still rather nebulous when I start to draw her, and thus she is harder to capture like I want. I plan to introduce new characters in the future, but like I said, for the time being I am going to stop for awhile.
