During life, we all develop attitudes and strategies to make our interactions with others more pleasant and useful. If I mention mine here, those comments can apply only to myself, my experiences and my situation. Such remarks cannot and should not be construed as dismissing, denigrating, devaluing or criticizing any different attitudes and strategies that other people have evolved as a result of their different situation and different experiences.
The centre of such a world would be very compressed, but not degenerate. Here's an article about unfeasibly large terrestrial planets by Anders Sandberg.
Taking the constants (table 4) corresponding to iron gives a maximum radius at the mass of 274 Earths, perovskite at 378 Earths, and for ice at 359 Earths. We should likely not trust the calculation very much around the turning point, since we are well above the domain of applicability. Still, looking at figure 4 shows that the authors at least plot the curves up to this range. The maximal iron world is about 2.7 times larger than Earth, the maximal perovskite worlds manage a bit more than 3 times Earth's radius, and the waterworlds just about reach 5 times. My own plot of the approximation function gives somewhat smaller radii:
Using that graph, I think the radius of a world with 1000 times Earth's mass would be about 3.2 times Earth's radius; about 20390 km. Note that this would be smaller than a planet with only one Jupiter mass, since the compression factor would start to kick in for planets more massive than 378 Earths.

OK, so what's the surface g on those planets?
Calm down, have some dip. - George Carlin
That link is not about calculating a radius based on mass and compressibility, it is about calculating surface gravity for a planet of given mass and radius. If we are talking about eburacum45's hypothetical planet, we can just plug in the mass and radius and get about 100g. Someone else has done the work of plotting those graphs where the radius was calculated from the mass and the compressibility characteristics. Eburacum45 has simply assumed that those properties apply to his hypothetical planet.
That's right. I make it about 97 gees. Such a planet would almost certainly have a dense hydrogen and helium atmosphere, since the escape velocity of such a world would be too high for those gases (or any other) to escape). The atmosphere would be much more compact than the atmosphere of Jupiter and Saturn, since the weight of the atmosphere would be fantastic and would compress the gases significantly; there could be an ocean of liquid or even metallic hydrogen above the planetary surface, which would make a Mesklin-like ecosphere unlikely.

Samsung Utterly Dominates Apple In China's Smartphone Market (AAPL, SSNLF)
Samsung is smoking Apple in China.
With 11 percent of the market, Apple is actually the number three player, trailing Samsung and Lenovo.
Samsung is decidedly stronger, reports the Yonhap News Agency:
Samsung Electronics sold 30.06 million smartphones in China last year, up from 10.90 million units a year earlier, garnering a 17.7 percent market share, according to the data by market researcher Strategy Analytics.
Last year's market share represents a 5.3 percentage point increase from the previous year. It also marks the first time that Samsung Electronics has become the top smartphone seller in the Chinese market since it started selling the device in 2009.

Suicide is Not a Joke
Hey, Nerdy Peeps! As many of you know I struggle with depression and anxiety. I have also had suicidal thoughts because I didn't want to carry on with life. There is always something better to live for and you are so worth the life you live.
Suicide is not a joke…
Well, I was scrolling through Facebook videos today and came across this one that was shared on a page called Now I've Seen Everything. It was a social experiment video about saving someone who was about to jump from a bridge. As I watched, I was dumbfounded. No one stopped to save him, no one tried to talk him out of it. People that walked by just pointed, or laughed and it was heartbreaking. Then I watched a guy pull out his phone and snap a picture. A PICTURE! Is this really what our world has come to?
Here are the original creators Instagrams: garibov.nizam ge_le0
I kept watching and I just wanted to cry. Then finally, the first person to stop ran to this guy and convinced him to come back over. More people started stopping and some even pulled him back over the bridge wall. That is all it takes to save someone's life! Stop and talk to them! Let them know they are worth it and that they are so much better than ending their life.
Suicide Statistics
- Suicide was the tenth leading cause of death overall in the United States, claiming the lives of more than 44,000 people.
- Suicide was the third leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 10 and 14, and the second leading cause of death among individuals between the ages of 15 and 34.
- There were more than twice as many suicides (44,193) in the United States as there were homicides (17,793).
These statistics are based from 2015 and came from the National Institute of Mental Health. From this website, you can learn all the trends with suicide.
My Suicidal Thoughts
No, I have never attempted suicide, but I have had the thoughts and they are ugly. At the time I had no one to talk to, and no one would have understood anyway. So, I pretty much just dealt with it and went on. You can read about what my life consisted of before I moved to East Texas and what it is like now. Things have gotten tremendously better and I am now on medication to help with my depression and anxiety. I also have a fantastic support system that I can always turn to.
So, no suicide is not a joke! People ending their lives is not something that you should laugh about or take pictures of. Instead of laughing or taking your stupid phone out, stop and talk to the person. Make them feel loved and wanted. Give them a reason to live, show that you care.

In today's fast world, no one wants to stop for a second and try to help people. Its heart breaking just to imagine what if this video was not created to spread suicide awareness. What if this was a real incident? Those guys who helped that man did an incredible job showing him that life is valuable and worth living. However big the problem be, try to face it. If you fail, try again, but never give up. We need more humanity. Thanks for sharing this post.

Thank you so much for this post. We need more reminders of just how serious suicide is and how to communicate with those who may be considering it. I've never been one to think suicide is funny, but I'm not going to lie I don't know that I would be the person to go up and try to convince someone who is on the verge of publicaly committing it to stop. Mostly out of fear that I wouldn't be able to make much of a difference. After reading this post I know that it just might.
Real Women Talk 2 September 8, 2017 at 1:18 pm
This is a very important topic and I am so glad you wrote this post. Thank you! Suicide is very serious and we as a society should be more open to talk about it and other mental health issues publicly so that healing can begin. You are amazing and keep pushing through. Continue to speak your truth as you are probably helping more people than you will ever know.
Ellen September 14, 2017 at 5:49 pm
As a country I think we need to put a priority on mental health so we can prevent more families from dealing with suicide.

Lisa Keifer September 15, 2017 at 8:48 pm
Great post! It saddens me so much that there are people who would walk away from someone attempting suicide or even take a picture of it. It's awesome of you to put this out there and give awareness to a very serious issue.
Jackie September 16, 2017 at 4:07 pm
Its far from a joke… and the more people understand that the better. I have heard many opinons on suicide including from my own family. Ones i dont agree with and hate repeating. But what people need to understand is that those that commit the act of suicide is the 1st time they decide something for themselves. I wish everybody could read this post! Thankyou for the statistics.
Nadia September 18, 2017 at 12:00 am
This is such an important issue. I feel sometimes we read about it in the news, and are affected by it. But shortly after we get caught up in our daily life and forget to lend a helping hand.
This is a great reminder to all of us.

Commercial Vehicle Crashes Cause Litigation Boom for Texas Lawyers
- Brian Daniel
- 3 years ago

1 Commercial Vehicle Crashes Cause Litigation Boom for Texas Lawyers By Natalie Posgate (September 22, 2014) Last year, a Dimmit County jury awarded $281 million to the family of a deceased man who was the victim of a commercial truck crash in South Texas near the Eagle Ford Shale. This past April, an El Paso jury awarded $4.6 million against three trucking companies for a 2010 accident that left two men dead. That same month, a Dallas jury awarded a Plaintiffs and commercial defense lawyers around the state say they expect trucking industry lawsuits to continue to increase as long as business in the Eagle Ford and Permian Basin shale plays continues to boom. Trucking litigation has become so hot that even the Texas Hammer is broadcasting advertisements seeking victims. Our firm has signed twice as many 18-wheeler and large commercial truck cases in the last year or two than in the same period before that, said Houston attorney Vuk Stevan Vujasinovic of the personal injury firm, VB Attorneys. We re going to continue to see more and more over time. Vujasinovic and others have pointed to the oil and gas boom as a frontrunner for the increase in trucking litigation. The remnants of a crew truck that collided head-first into an oil rig trailer on Sept. 20, 2012 on RR-2119 due to the 18-wheeler s negligent driving. Mississippi woman $4.1 million for severe injuries she suffered in a 2011 accident with an 18-wheeler while traveling through Texas on I-20. The number of serious or deadly crashes involving commercial trucks hauling materials in the oil and gas boom has skyrocketed during the past three years. The jump in commercial trucking crashes combined with a series of six, seven, eight and even nine-digit jury verdicts has led to a significant spike in litigation in Texas. And numbers indicate that the boom is only going to continue. According to a study released this summer by the University of Texas at San Antonio Institute for Economic Development, the oil and gas play in the West Texas Vuk Stevan Vujasinovic region alone will produce $20.5 billion in economic output in With that boom comes higher demand for commercial trucks, which experts say causes the overwhelmed trucking companies to put more 18-wheelers on the state s roads many of which lack the infrastructure to accommodate the influx. Naturally, this leads to more accidents. > 1
2 Recent Texas Department of Transportation statistics obtained by The Texas Lawbook reveal that fatal crashes in the Eagle Ford Shale area alone, which stretches across 26 counties, increased by 19 percent from 2009 to Thirty percent of those crashes involved a commercial vehicle last year a 191 percent increase from 2009, when commercial vehicles only accounted for 12 percent of the fatal crashes. As a result, litigation is on the rise. You re seeing lawyers who might handle an occasional truck wrecking case who are now seeing a much higher volume, said Austin attorney Mike Davis of the prominent Texas personal injury law firm, Slack & Davis. Mike Davis I think everyone perceives that there s been a major uptick in the number of truck wrecks, he added. If fatalities are up that in the natural is going to lead to more litigation. In West Texas Permian Basin region, for example, there were 317 fatal crashes in 2013, a 40 percent increase from Commercial vehicles were involved in 77 of those fatal crashes, which is 208 percent more than their accountability in 2009, which was 25 fatal accidents. The outcome is similar for crashes that resulted in serious injuries. Commercial trucks involvement in those kinds of crashes increased by 98 percent from 2009 to 2013 in the Permian Basin region, which saw 4,080 of these crashes last year. Why it s Happening Davis and other attorneys who handle trucking litigation point to many factors in the surge of trucking accidents, but they say an obvious one is the amount of fatigue drivers face while trying to meet the fast-paced demands of their oil and gas clients. Under federal law, truck drivers must take off 34 consecutive hours after a 60 or 70-hour workweek. But an exception to the rule, the Oilfield Exemption, allows commercial vehicle operators who exclusively serve the oil and gas industry to reset their workweek after 24 hours The great increase in accidents that caused fatalities or serious injuries around the state is disturbing enough, but 18-wheelers and commercial trucks growing involvement in those accidents is perhaps the biggest shock. off instead something Davis said is putting more fatigued drivers on roads. Davis said the exemption is only supposed to apply to a very small category of drivers who transport special equipment. But some > 2
3 SERVING BUSINESS LAWYERS IN TEXAS companies are interpreting the provision more broadly by applying it to equipment never intended to apply to the rule, he said. He added that drivers often spend a substantial amount of time on-site waiting for equipment to be ready to load, which is time that is considered off-duty. Ideally, drivers are resting during The crew truck McCallum s client was a passenger in collided with the oilrig trailer portion of an 18-wheeler that was blocking both the northbound and southbound sides of RR-2119 due to getting stuck during an attempted U-turn. McCallum s complaint stated the 18-wheeler driver did nothing to provide warning of the trailer s precarious position to oncoming traffic in either direction. Ron McCallum The accident killed the driver of the crew truck (the family of whom McCallum also represented) and injured McCallum s surviving client so badly that it broke every bone inside of his body and caused a severe brain injury. This crash occurred after an 18-wheeler got stuck in an attempted U-turn and blocked both sides of RR-2119 in Reeves County. He was the most hurt person who did not die [from a trucking accident] that I ve ever represented, McCallum said. their waiting time. Realistically, the drivers are assigned to help out with other duties which makes drivers shifts longer than they should be, he said. The reality of those job sites is, it s organized chaos out there, Davis said. Mesquite personal injury attorney Ron McCallum agreed, adding that some drivers are even working two driving jobs to make ends meet, since transportation services to and from the fracking sites are needed 24 hours a day. They re all overworked, McCallum said. When you re overworked and fatigued, that s when things happen. I don t care if your truck is brand new. Recently, McCallum won a favorable settlement for a client who was severely injured in a 2012 wreck that occurred late at night on RR-2119 in Reeves County. 3 The September 2012 accident on RR-2119 killed the smaller truck s driver and severely injured another passenger, who was the most hurt person who did not die from a trucking accident that Ron McCallum has ever represented. Companies failure to properly maintain their large trucks is another accident-causer, legal experts say. >
4 A report published last year by the Texas Department of Transportation revealed that in 2012, 58 percent of the 215 randomly inspected commercial trucks in Dimmit County the same county the deceased Aguilar s accident took place in that resulted in a $281 million award to Aguilar s family were taken out of service for not meeting Texas Department of Public Safety standards. In the same inspections, 23 drivers were found unqualified to operate the commercial vehicles. Dimmit County s numbers for out-of-service vehicles exceeded the statewide statistics by more than double the amount, which said 25 percent out of the 8,000 inspected commercial vehicles did not meet DPS standards. In the Aguilar case, a drive shaft broke off a truck employed by the oil patch trucking company, Heckmann Water Resources, and bulldozed through the windshield of the vehicle Aguilar was a passenger in. Both vehicles were traveling on FM 133 in Carrizo Springs. The May 2012 accident killed Aguilar, who was a military veteran in his thirties. Family members of Aguilar claimed in their lawsuit that the drive shaft broke because Heckmann did not properly maintain the tractor-trailer. Last December, a Dimmit County jury found Heckmann and its parent company, Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. responsible and awarded the family $281 million. The case officially settled in July, but the awarded damages got slashed to about $105 million, according to a lawyer close to the case. Attorneys on both the plaintiffs and defense ends also pointed out that the fast-pace environment of the oil patch trucking industry often causes companies to hire less skilled drivers and to be more lax on the screening portion of the hiring process. Zach Mayer, a partner at Kane Russell Coleman & Logan in Dallas, emphasized that there are plenty of trucking companies that put safety first, but, like any industry, there are the outliers who are out to make a quick dollar, which leads them to use a less thorough screening and hiring process. He pointed out that the companies that cut corners are often the small mom and pop shops, because they often do not have the resources to be picky when hiring drivers. Hiring quality drivers can Zach Mayer be time consuming and expensive, said Mayer, who has defended large companies such as FedEx in trucking litigation. [Sometimes the] driver s a guy who was working two weeks ago in fast food. Dallas attorney Eddy Davis of Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer agreed. I do see companies struggling to keep good drivers, he said. When that happens, they end up putting a not-so-good driver (behind the wheel), whether it be accident, criminal history or past drug or alcohol issues, and give them the benefit of the doubt. Davis used to specialize in defending companies in products liability and industrial accidents. Eddy Davis But over the past several years, his practice has shifted to primarily defending trucking companies and commercial vehicle operators after accidents. Davis and others acknowledged that another big factor in the shift of his practice s focus derives from the obstacle the state s tort reform has created for plaintiffs lawyers to recover significant damages in a majority of personal injury litigation. Many found that trucking litigation is one of the few areas that remained lucrative after the laws took effect. > 4
5 Tort reform has made medical malpractice litigation go away, and it used to be that products liability was pretty stable plaintiffs work, said Davis, adding that even minor trucking accidents provide good work for plaintiffs lawyers, since even mom and pop shops often will have the insurance to fund or [settle] the claim. While there s no question that the amount of fatal truck wrecks has skyrocketed, Davis pointed out that he has also seen his fair share of minor accidents play their way in the trucking litigation boom. He believes this is happening because more people are becoming aware of the high-dollar insurance policies commercial vehicle operators are required to carry in order to operate. For example, 18-wheelers that carry hazardous material such as those that deliver drilling materials to the shale plays must have $1 million worth of coverage, according to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. It does seem to me that there s more of a tendency to sue anytime there s a wreck involving an 18-wheeler, he said. Prominent Dallas personal injury attorney Frank Branson said he expects the influx of trucking litigation and accidents to continue in the following years, and the stop to the increase will depend greatly on what else TxDOT and federal regulatory agencies do to crack the whip on trucking companies for safety issues. Trucking companies are not voluntarily making safety changes any more than the oilfield industry, he said. Once it becomes more profitable to put safety ahead of profits instead of vice versa, there will be less injuries and less death. Branson added that change is crucial because everyone on the roads is at risk of being involved in a trucking accident. We don t have any control at all for being subject to the danger of trucks, he said. Advice to Trucking Companies Mayer and HBDB s Davis said accidents inevitably lead to litigation, but there are plenty of proactive and preventative measures trucking companies can take to ease the litigation process and prevent the litigation-causing crashes from happening in the first place. There s nothing you can do to help them avoid litigation, Davis said. If they happen to get in an accident, they re going to get sued. Branson Interview Video by Paige Kerley However, if resources allow companies to put a stronger effort in hiring better and training better, it is the best way to prevent crashes, Davis added. Mayer emphasized that once an accident happens, resolving matters as early as possible is the best approach to take. Get in front of the accident and investigation early on, and in case of liability, get in front of victims and their family as quickly as you can, he said.

I 've noticed recently that my wife seems to picking more fights - with many people but with me in particular. It's a stressful time in our life and she's got a lot on her plate but I notice that there are more and more things "coming up" for us. Over 22+ years of living together, these seasons come and they go. There are many things we don't agree on and, during this time, it seems she's almost belligerently taking "stands" against me - unwilling or unable to accept a different perspective than what she owns.
As someone who tends toward the "sensitive" side of the scale, I own that my reactions are not always appropriate.
It's times like this that I envy those who talk about and understand the whole "boundary" thing. As with so much of the babel (psycho or religious) that flows through many AA meetings, I've had to deliberately let go of even using the terms so that I don't perpetuate the harm in my life or tolerate it from sponsors instead of their doing their own tough work.
I'm open-minded about these things as concepts, but my experience in focusing deliberately on "boundaries" causes me to create walls and enmity that can take a decade or better to tear down. Same thing happens to me when I try to focus on "balance" - all the sudden life turns into a roller coaster where nothing gets done or accomplished.
So, this season will pass on to something else. On a good day, I can enjoy a moment or 2 of intimacy and support. On a really good day, I can be useful. The other days, god gives me the grace to contribute somewhere.
It's life...

Combining organic and mineral fertilizers for integrated soil fertility management in smallholder farming systems of Kenya : Explorations using the crop-soil model FIELD

Integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) technologies for African smallholders should consider (i) within-farm soil heterogeneity; (ii) long-term dynamics and variability; (iii) manure quality and availability; (iv) access to fertilizers; and (v) competing uses for crop residues. We used the model FIELD (Field-scale resource Interactions, use Efficiencies and Long term soil fertility Development) to explore allocation strategies of manure and fertilizers. Maize response to N fertilizer from 0 to 180 kg N ha?1 (±30 kg P ha?1) distinguished poorly responsive fertile (e.g., grain yields of 4.1–5.3 t ha?1 without P and of 7.5–7.5 t ha?1 with P) from responsive (1.0–4.3 t ha?1 and 2.2–6.6 t ha?1) and poorly responsive infertile fields (0.2–1.0 t ha?1 and 0.5–3.1 t ha?1). Soils receiving manure plus fertilizers for 12 yr retained 1.1 to 1.5 t C ha?1 yr?1 when 70% of the crop residue was left in the field, and 0.4 to 0.7 t C ha?1 yr?1 with 10% left. Degraded fields were not rehabilitated with manures of local quality (e.g., 23–35% C, 0.5–1.2% N, 0.1–0.3% P) applied at realistic rates (3.6 t dm ha?1 yr?1) for 12 yr without fertilizers. Mineral fertilizers are necessary to kick-start soil rehabilitation through hysteretic restoration of biomass productivity and C inputs to the soil.

Current Week Minicalendar Offsets are used to shift the contents of a minicalendar a given number of weeks with respect to the current week (as determined by the DayValue of the minicalendar token).
Using the token and modifier [mc+00:-2w] produces a minicalendar which always starts 2 weeks before the current week displaying the current week in a central position (IMPORTANT: in minicalendars you can only use week offsets, such as :-2w or :+3w, as offsets specified for a number of days or months, such as :+5d or :-1m, are Date Offset Suffixes which behave very differently).
Note that, to obtain the above result, you need to set the option Show Outside Days of the MiniCal (current) property to true so that the dates before the month are displayed, and you must make sure that fully outside week numbers are not hidden, as is the default behaviour. The correct settings to use are:
However, you do not need to put any tokens in the shaded textbox, since, by definition, it will always remain in the same position.

What's cooking this weekend? We are thinking about warm and comforting casseroles, as well as holiday parties! Cheese boards (see above), sparkling wines, and delicious nibbles all sound very good. What about you? What are you cooking? Here are a few ideas from The Kitchn's past week.
• Make soup with leftover turkey stock.
• Look out! It's cookie time. We have stained glass cookies, Chez Panisse gingersnaps, Dorie Greenspan's linzer cookies, and pfeffernusse. Tips for freezing cookies, too.
• How to make spicy tuna sushi.
• Party wines under $10.
• Make bagels at home this weekend!
• What are good tools for cooks who have arthritis?
• Ten kitchen basics under $25.
• How to cook beans in the oven (and a good warning about poisonous kidney beans!)
• Have some clementines this weekend!
• Two yellow kitchens: One bright, and one warm and rich. Also, an Old World kitchen in the New World.
• Do you like holiday fruitcake?
Have a wonderful weekend! Happy cookie-baking and soup-making, and merry tea-drinking and cocoa-mixing too. See you tomorrow for a look back at our top posts from the week, and Sunday for Dana's Weekend Meditation.

Having a child with serious allergies can often result in more questions than answers. The uncertainty in navigating seemingly simple things can be overwhelming. Dr. Lobel's personal and professional experience fills a much needed void for anyone who must interface with the growing reality of allergic living. Her knowledgeable and kind approach is not only validating for parents who often struggle in isolation; she also offers useful information and suggestions to manage a variety of allergy-related concerns. I could have really used a referral to Dr. Lobel when we were first diagnosed a few years ago! Better late than never. I'm glad I picked up the phone for a consultation now. I am already planning on implementing some of the things we discussed.
– M.R., Montreal, Quebec
Thank you so much for all of your help and valuable information. Your thorough knowledge on the topic of food service and allergy awareness was a great help to me at our convention.

Transcript of Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period (about 65 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event caused the extinction of most dinosaur species, except for some birds. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, and most paleontologists regard them as the only group of dinosaurs to have survived until the present day. Dinosaurs are a diverse and varied group of animals; birds, at over 9,000 species, are the most diverse group of vertebrate besides perciform fish.[2] Paleontologists have identified over 500 distinct genera[3] and more than 1,000 different species of non-avian dinosaurs.[4] Dinosaurs are represented on every continent by both extant species and fossil remains.[5] Some dinosaurs are or were herbivorous, others carnivorous. Some have been bipedal, others quadrupedal, and others have been able to shift between these body postures. Many non-avian species developed elaborate skeletal modifications such as bony armor, horns or crests. Avian dinosaurs have been the planet's dominant flying vertebrate since the extinction of the pterosaurs. Although generally known for the large size of some species, most dinosaurs were human-sized or even smaller. Most groups of dinosaurs are known to have built nests and laid eggs. The term "dinosaur" was coined in 1842 by the English paleontologist Richard Owen, and derives from Greek δεινός (deinos) "terrible, powerful, wondrous" + σαρος (sauros) "lizard". Through the first half of the twentieth century, most of the scientific community mistakenly believed dinosaurs to have been sluggish, unintelligent cold-blooded animals. Most research conducted since the 1970s, however, has indicated that dinosaurs were active animals with elevated metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social interaction. Dinosaurs (including birds) are archosaurs, like modern crocodilians. Archosaurs' diapsid skulls have two holes, called temporal fenestrae, located where the jaw muscles attach, and an additional antorbital fenestra in front of the eyes. Most reptiles (including birds) are diapsids; mammals, with only one temporal fenestra, are called synapsids; and turtles, with no temporal fenestra, are anapsids. Anatomically, dinosaurs share many other archosaur characteristics, including teeth that grow from sockets rather than as direct extensions of the jawbones. Within the archosaur group, dinosaurs are differentiated most noticeably by their gait. Dinosaur legs extend directly beneath the body, whereas the legs of lizards and crocodilians sprawl out to either side. Most dinosaurs, however, were much smaller than the giant sauropods. Current evidence suggests that dinosaur average size varied through the Triassic, early Jurassic, late Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.[33] Theropod dinosaurs, when sorted by estimated weight into categories based on order of magnitude, most often fall into the 100 to 1000 kilogram (220 to 2200 lb) category, whereas recent predatory carnivorans peak in the 10 to 100 kilogram (22 to 220 lb) category.[49] The mode of dinosaur body masses is between one and ten metric tonnes.[50] This contrasts sharply with the size of Cenozoic mammals, estimated by the National Museum of Natural History as about 2 to 5 kilograms (5 to 10 lb) Interpretations of dinosaur behavior are generally based on the pose of body fossils and their habitat, computer simulations of their biomechanics, and comparisons with modern animals in similar ecological niches. As such, the current understanding of dinosaur behavior relies on speculation, and will likely remain controversial for the foreseeable future. However, there is general agreement that some behaviors which are common in crocodiles and birds, dinosaurs' closest living relatives, were also common among dinosaurs.Full transcript

New Mexico Beef Stew
- In a large plastic bag, combine cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Add half of the meat cubes; shake to coat.
- In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat; add coated meat cubes and cook until browned on all sides. Remove meat from pan. Repeat with remaining meat and cornmeal mixture, adding remaining oil, if necessary. Return all meat to Dutch oven; add garlic. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour or until meat is almost tender.
- Add corn, undrained tomatoes, chickpeas, celery root, onion, jalapeno peppers, and chipotle pepper. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes more or until meat and vegetables are tender. Makes 6 servings.
From the Test Kitchen
Slow-Cooker Directions:
Brown meat as above, adding garlic with second half of meat. In a 3-1/2, 4-, or 5-quart electric crockery cooker, place corn, chickpeas, celery root, onion, and jalapeno peppers. Add browned beef. Sprinkle with any leftover cornmeal mixture. Using only 1/4 cup water, combine water with tomatoes and chipotle pepper. Pour over beef. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours. (Or, cook on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.) Stir before serving.
Test Kitchen Tip:
Jalapeno peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, so avoid direct contact as much as possible when working with them. Wear plastic bags over your hands or wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands touch the peppers, wash hands well with soap and warm water.

Did an oral protest about disability discrimination hold up in court?
"I thought I asked you to have that report on my desk first thing this morning," Supervisor Nancy Marvin said to Dave Carson.
"I'm sorry," Dave replied. "When we discussed the report last week, I may have misheard the exact deadline. You know I don't always hear everything the first time," he added, pointing to his hearing aid.
Nancy started to respond, but Dave went on. "I'll finish up the report as soon as possible, but we've talked before about how I really need oral instructions followed up in writing because of my hearing problem."
Words challenged
"Don't try to put the blame for this on me," Nancy snapped. "How am I supposed to work with you if you can't hear?"
Dave stared at her for a long moment. "Aren't you being discriminatory?" he asked.
"Excuse me?" Nancy demanded. She paused. "All right, I'm not going to argue about what you did or didn't hear. Let's just take a moment."
She took a deep breath, then said, more calmly, "The priority is getting this report done today – can you get it to me by noon?"
"Yes," Dave answered. "I'll give it to you by noon."
Nancy proceeded to write a negative evaluation of Dave's performance and three days later terminated him.
Dave sued the company for disability discrimination and retaliation. Did he win?
Yes, Dave won his lawsuit.
A federal appeals court held that supervisor Nancy retaliated against Dave because he made an informal complaint about her discriminatory comment regarding his disability. Yes, Dave's short sentence –
"Aren't you being discriminatory?" – amounted to an informal bias complaint, the court ruled. A complaint doesn't have to be long or written down.
When the supervisor whipped up a negative evaluation and fired Dave on the heels of this complaint, it pointed to a retaliatory intent, the court noted.
Actions and words speak loudly
The supervisor may or may not have had reason to fire Dave for his work performance, but her bias against his hearing disability came through loud and clear. The supervisor:
• Failed to follow the agreed-upon accommodation by not following up her verbal instructions to Dave in writing.
• Commented disparagingly on his disability.
• Wrote a negative evaluation of him immediately after their argument.
• Terminated him just three days after he challenged her comment.

Maulana Fazlullah, a ruthless terrorist leader best known for ordering the assassination of Malala Yousafzai, has been picked as the new head of the Pakistan Taliban, according to the movement's spokesman.
He replaces Hakimullah Mehsud who was killed in a CIA drone strike on Friday.
Fazlullah, also known as Mullah Radio for his chilling propaganda broadcasts, led a brutal two-year occupation of the Swat Valley which was ended in 2009 by an army offensive.
He is believed to have been selected for offering the most anti-Pakistan credentials of all the rumoured candidates for the post.
"Fazlullah is the new leader," said Shahidullah Shahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, by telephone from an undisclosed location. "It was decided by the central shura and the decision is finalised."
He added that the Pakistan Taliban would not now participate in peace talks with the government.
The announcement was greeted by gunfire in Taliban-controlled parts of North Waziristan, one of the lawless tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
Fazlullah, a school drop-out, is thought to be 39 and is the head of the Swat Taliban. He ordered the closure of girls schools during his occupation of the Swat Valley, when his forces moved to within striking distance of the capital Islamabad.
They were eventually pushed back by the Pakistan army and he is now based across the border in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan.
He was given his nickname after setting up a radio station to broadcast propaganda.
In her recently published memoir, the schoolgirl activist Malala described listening to his increasingly angry rhetoric.
"At Eid, we usually sacrifice animals like goats or sheep. But Fazlullah said, 'On this Eid two-legged animals will be sacrificed.' We soon saw what he meant," she wrote, detailing a wave of murders that followed.
She was shot in the head after keeping an online diary detailing abuses carried out by Fazlullah's men.
He dispatched two assassins from his base in Kunar province, Afghanistan, to kill the 15-year-old last year, but in doing so attracted a wave of criticism and turned Malala into a globally-recognised peace campaigner.
It was just the latest in a string of attacks, bloody even by Pakistan's warped standards. Last year, his men kidnapped and beheaded 17 Pakistani soldiers in one of several cross border raids.
Last month he claimed credit for the assassination of a senior Pakistani army general in a roadside bombing.
His appointment is a blow to hopes the new leader would prove less confrontational than Mehsud and might be willing to engage in peace talks with the government.
Saifullah Mahsud, of the Fata Research Centre, said: "We were hoping a less controversial leader would replace Hakimullah, someone who would have made it easier for peace talks to happen, but that opportunity is lost."

"An old bull and a young bull are walking through the hilly fields when they spy a herd of she cows meandering about at the bottom of the hill.
The young bull exclaims; "shit! Look at all that ass, let's run down and get one".
The old bull looks at his young charge in disgust; "why don't we just walk down and be all smooth and shit and do em all'?"
A very old joke, but one with a message.
Rushing around does nothing but make you look stupid and all you end up with is a fuckin headache.
A lot of men these days have lost the ancient art of "Mackin", and most of em couldn't pick up a real woman if one died and fell off her barstool. They refuse to learn that it's all about the approach.
It used to be fun watching some cat get all Barry White on some chick, using a pickup line handed down from his father's father.
"Hi baby, see this key ring? I just wanted you to see all these keys, cause pretty soon all the shit they unlock is gonna be yours"
The women couldn't help but laugh. Then he'd step back, laugh and introduce himself and before you know it he's walking out the door with her.
I used to know this cat that used to bomb bad with the women. He never could get the hang of meeting em.
One night I finally got tired of his bellyaching and told him to point out any women in the bar that he wanted to meet. He looked around then pointed to this gorgeous brunette sitting at the bar.
"Give me a dollar". He handed over the dollar and I brought a lighter from the bar.
I waited till the chick pulled out a cigarette then I walked over and gave her a light. When she smiled her thanks I introduced myself and shook her hand and ended up having a nice conversation with her.
I showed my young friend that all it takes to meet women is a smile and a handshake, and that's about as "old school" as you can get. Though as you all know, taking my advice on anything is a foolhardy approach.
"and the monkey flipped the switch"

I come from a family of moderate means and I am working during the vacation doing work that is very difficult, to help my family with their expenses. This job of mine coincides with the fast of Ramadan and I cannot both work and fast. Is it permissible for me to fast at a time other than Ramadan so that I can continue with my work? Please advise me, may Allah reward you.
Praise be to Allaah.
What is required of the believer when Ramadan comes is to fast Ramadan. If he is doing difficult work, he should reduce it so that he can fast. He can do that by working in the time that suits him at the beginning of the day, then refraining from the work that is too difficult for him, so that he can complete his fast. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has made the fast an obligation and one of the five pillars of Islam.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Islam is built on five (pillars): testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; establishing prayer; paying zakaah; fasting Ramadan; and pilgrimage to the House for the one who is able to do that."
What is required of every Muslim man and woman is to fast this month, and to beware of everything that may form an obstacle to that. Work does not end and there are many times for it. It is possible for the believer to do his work at night or at the beginning of the day so that it will not be too difficult for him to work in the middle of the day.
The point here is that you have to look for means that will help you to combine the two matters: fasting and working, in a way that will not harm you. This is what you have to do. As for not fasting, that is not permissible for you. End quote.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him)

The MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute (MHVI) at Long Beach Memorial has acquired the C7-XR™ OCT Intravascular Imaging System. The C7-XR System is a leading imaging technology platform that aids physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the C7-XR System utilizes near-infrared light to create images that go beyond older coronary imaging technologies - such as fluoroscopy and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) - offering cardiologists an assessment method with enhanced clarity for their patients with coronary artery disease.
The St. Jude Medical C7-XR System allows physicians at Long Beach Memorial to visualize and measure important vessel characteristics otherwise invisible or difficult to assess with previous intracoronary imaging technology. The imaging capabilities of the C7-XR System assist physicians in stent selection by providing them with precise measurements of lesion dimensions and vessel size and structure.
"The C7-XR System can be especially important for the assessment of stent placement because the high-resolution images show precisely how the stent is holding the artery open and whether it is positioned correctly against the artery wall, optimizing treatment and follow-up strategies," said Rex Winters, M.D., Medical Director of Invasive Technology, MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute at Long Beach Memorial.
By acquiring this new technology, MHVI will be able to continue providing the highest quality of care, better diagnosis and first-rate treatment for cardiac patients in the region. The OCT imaging technology will join the list of the many diagnostic testing available to patients, such as electrocardiogram, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and a cardiac nuclear study, making MHVI a premiere institute for advanced heart and vascular care.
In addition to guiding stent selection, the C7-XR System provides physicians with post-stenting information, potentially minimizing the risk of repeat revascularization. Repeat revascularization would mean the patient would have to have another surgery to restore blood flow to an organ or tissue. At follow-up, the OCT technology provides detailed information regarding the inner lining of the vessel and whether there is a reoccurrence of the blood vessel narrowing.
The OCT technology platform creates images with 10 times the resolution of intravascular ultrasound technology. The superior resolution and depth of focus found in OCT images aids in optimizing stent selection, evaluating stent apposition and the precise assessment of lesion morphology.
The C7-XR System with the C7 Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheter was launched in Europe in May 2009 and follows the M3 OCT Imaging System had been the only commercially available intracoronary OCT imaging device in the world. The C7-XR Coronary Imaging System is commercially available in the U.S.
Additional information about the C7-XR OCT Intravascular Imaging System and companion C7 Dragonfly Imaging Catheter can be found by visiting sjm.com.
The MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute at Long Beach Memorial is ranked by the state in the top one percent of California's 500 hospitals, includes three operating rooms designed specifically for cardiovascular surgery, recovery areas, 23 cardiac intensive care and step-down patient rooms, telemetry services, cardiac nuclear medicine, non-invasive procedure areas and catheterization laboratories. The Institute has dedicated programs including the Center for Women's Cardiac Health, cardiac rehabilitation, heart rhythm management and device therapy, pacemaker and defibrillator lead extractions, heart failure including left ventricular assist device therapy, adult and pediatric invasive interventional and non-invasive diagnostic cardiology, minimally invasive cardiac surgery with robotics, cardiac imaging and clinical research. More than 500 cardiac surgeries are performed annually at MHVI.

The folks at Pebble have pushed out another bugfix for the Pebble 2.0 application. Along with general stability fixes, the issue with the never-ending loading screen has been addressed. As a user who was experiencing the stuck splash screen issue, I can confirm that it's gone on my phone. Hurrah! While still not as stable as the original version, Pebble 2.0 is starting to shape up. Let's hope the trend continues.

In a world of 'just do it', Dr. Jason Fox is a guy who espouses the hidden benefits of doubt. As a result, Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, PepsiCo, McDonald's and a swathe of others regularly hire him to speak to (and inspire) their staff.
"Personally, as a raging introvert, I find the world of motivational speaking is often so extroverted and fraught with alpha males talking about big, hairy, audacious goals. A lot of my work is looking at, 'How do we tap into the benefit of self-doubt and how do we make progress without setting clear goals and without having clear conviction?" Jason tells Collective Hub. "How do we take an approach that's much more meandering and embracing the fuzzy sense of where we're going, rather than a clear sense of where we're going?'"
Jason has learnt to capitalise on his introverted nature by scheduling catch-ups in advance with people he wants to connect with, focusing more on one-on-one conversations and building plenty of time to recharge into his schedule.
"I work particularly in the space of companies that are looking to progress through uncharted territory. You're looking at leadership development where you can't set a specific goal. You can't just follow work that's been done before and increase performance on past results. You're looking to do something that's completely new. The zero-to-one stuff," explains Jason. "One of the first things I help businesses see is where default thinking is getting in the way of meaningful progress."
"I refer to this as the Curse of Efficiency. We become so good at finding these time-saving efficiencies that it actually robs us of the ability to think deeper, to think more thoroughly, to build in space for curiosity and empathy. What happens instead is we have a whole heap of templates and defaults that we refer to that save us time and are a lot easier – we don't have to think as much – but in the process bring us closer to irrelevance.
"A great example of this is someone who builds a highly automated email campaign for new clients and invests time to get all the efficiencies sorted out and has this goal of being able to set and forget. And so you have these efficiencies established but because you're not thinking about it actively any more, you're possibly losing empathy with what the client's needs are. And you're not actually pioneering any more; you're stagnating or at least being complacent in the work that's already being done. And that can lead you closer to irrelevance if you're not careful."
Catch Dr. Jason Fox as he hosts a Collective 101 Masterclass on Design Thinking in Melbourne. Aug 2
As Australia's 2016 Keynote Speaker of the Year, it's clear there's a lot of thought and research behind everything Jason does; even down to the clothes he wears. This is a man obsessed with timeless fashion items: think pocket squares, waistcoats, etched leather Alexander McQueen shoes. Yes, he cuts a dapper figure, but it's not just because he's partial to the odd three-piece suit. He cites a psychology paper that talks about a concept called enclothed cognition, and how "the clothes you wear influence your thinking and how you interact with people."
And once you think about it, it ties in nicely with Jason's bigger-picture philosophy (including the wonderful illustrations in his latest book).
"In my world, I'm dealing a lot with the future and these emerging technologies. My branding could easily be really futuristic; all digital and lots of blues and technology based. But I like the Renaissance thinking. The Leonardo da Vinci-style thinking. That curiosity. That wonder. The kind of old-school science where we're asking big questions about the universe and our role and the meaning of life. That spirit is what I try to bring in to the very modern context of the future of work."

Some Essential flowers for fall - 2. Lobelia cardinalis
Difficult to photograph as a single plant, Lobelia cardinalis is a cardinal red, showy flower borne in a tall spike. I have found that in my climate it does best in some shade, or at least sited so that the evergreen basal leaf cluster doesn't experience direct sunlight in early spring, at least until the ground is fully thawed. So this is not the easiest plant for the garden hereabouts, but it is so worth a bit of effort. My longest-lasting plants are in open woods, in a drier spot than I would have expected it to like, but right up against a small rock outcropping.
There are white forms, and it has been hybridized with other hardy perennial Lobelias to cover a range of colours between red and blue. A particularily frustrating hybrid for cold-weather gardens is the purple-leaf "cardinalis", which has the same bright red flowers as this species. A very showy hybrid, it is totally un-hardy colder than USDA zone 7 but usually some local garden center or another will bring some in each summer, seducing gardeners away from the green-leafed hardy species and creating another round of "can't grow that here" urban myth.
As with yesterday's Gentian, I have been having a pest of a time getting seedlings to survive for me the past several years. It's usually been an error of neglect in the watering department.

Along the way, we'll stay in great 3 and 4-star hotels, delight in local delicacies ranging from full tribal meals to delicate Chinese snacks, sample some of the world's finest teas, and have an awesome, once in a lifetime adventure.
Day 1:
Taipei to Taroko Gorge
Our tour begins with a drive down the stunning east coast, where towering cliffs meet the ocean before turning inland to spend a full day in geologically stunning Taroko National Park. Best known for being the home of visually stunning Taroko Gorge, the park is also a treasure trove of rivers and waterfalls, cliffs and trails, tunnels and temples. We'll hike, sightsee, and explore the gorge, perhaps even seeing some of the local monkeys who call the area home before retiring for the night at a 4-star hotel.
