International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), or IBM, can be thought of as the original technology company. Originally started in the early 1900s as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, the company grew quickly on the back of its most important product -- the printing tabulator. With legendary CEO Thomas Watson at the helm, the company quickly became the go-to solution for computing-based devices.
The company today is much different from the one of years past. The printing tabulators have been replaced by cloud and enterprise computing solutions. In that time, IBM has become a massive company -- both in terms of market capitalization and dividend payments. Over the last half decade, IBM has landed on income investors radar's due to a historically low-yield environment and generous capital return policies. Here are two things dividend investors need to know about IBM.
The company isn't growing, but it's more focused on margins
The big issue for IBM is growth, or more specifically -- the lack thereof. Matter of fact, the company has only averaged approximately 1% revenue growth per year from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2013. In addition, the company recently sold off its x86 server business to Lenovo, a business that contributed nearly $5 billion to its top line. So look for continued headwinds to IBM's top line.
However, the company also stated that the businessline that was sold to Lenovo was break even on a pretax basis. Therefore, the company received nearly $2.3 billion -- $2 billion of cash; the remainder in Lenovo stock -- for a very low margin business. This helps income-oriented investors in two ways: First is the obvious cash infusion to pay its dividend; next, this helps the company in its stated goal to grow its EPS to $20 a share by 2015 through a focus on higher-margin businesses.
Dividends are only one way IBM is returning cash to shareholders
To reach its lofty $20 per share EPS goals, the company is focusing on reducing cost and lowering shares outstanding. Last year, the company increased its share buyback program by an additional $15 billion. In addition, it is widely expected the company plans to increase its buyback total once again in its 2014 October board meeting. The chart below gives you some context on the importance of IBM's buybacks:
As you can see, over the last four years the company has given back more cash to shareholders via its share buyback program than its dividend. During that period, IBM has returned over $80 billion dollars in total.
The company has repurchased nearly $64 billion in stock -- or nearly 80% of its returned cash -- in the last five years. And by undertaking this large buyback program, the company has reduced its shares outstanding by nearly 18% -- an impressive feat indeed.
This helps income investors two ways. First, with fewer shares outstanding, the company is able to raise its dividend per share payouts higher with an overall smaller cash outlay because fewer shares are outstanding. That's also true for earnings; that's how a company with very low revenue growth can continue to enrich shareholders.
For example, the company's net income from fiscal 2009 to 2013 increased 23% by going from $13.4 billion to $16.5 billion. However, the company's earnings per share increased nearly 50% during that period going from $10.12 to $15.06.
Going back at the chart, the dividend per share story is even better. Although the company only grew its total dividends paid by 42% from $2.86 billion in 2009 to $4.06 billion in 2013, the dividend per share increase soared over 70% due to its huge buyback.
Final thoughts
The story of IBM has been one of growth versus shareholder-friendly management. On one hand, the company seems to be struggling to grow that top line; eventually, shareholders will demand more growth from the company. As is, the company faces a transition of sorts as it transitions to the cloud and higher-margin businesses.
With that being said, you'd be hard-pressed to find a company with more shareholder friendly policies in regards to returning capital -- and that's why IBM should be on income investors' radars.

The following video is from the 1991 film Flight of the Intruder, a decent warflick directed by John Milius and starring Willem Dafoe, Danny Glover, Brad Johnson and Patricia Arquette. It was based on Stephen Coonts' 1986 novel of the same name.
Below a pic of a cutout of one the Intruder's two Pratt & Whitney J52-P8B turbojets (with a 9,300 lbf (41 kN) thrust each).
You can actually only see the compressor section and the combustion chambers (although one turbine ring is visible to the extreme right of the photo).
Duh. I don't believe a word of it. When I checked out the Pratt and Whitney J-52 the wiki page told me that it was an axial turbojet (of course) but dual spool, see the difference below:
And here is a more relevant pic. You can clearly see from left to right the low pressure compressor, the high pressure compressor, the combustion chambers, the high pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine.
Yet the photo of the first cutaway shows a single spool engine. And this while the Flickr account where I found it labels it as an A-6 Intruder engine, put on display at Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, Lexington Park, Maryland.
Oh well. Maybe someone among our readers has an explanation?
Another video, though not from the movie, but a documentary:

The Christmas celebrations keep rolling on! This past week was spent spreading the holiday cheer and embracing the festivity!
Last Thursday I finished up my Christmas shopping. I spent way too long and way too much, but it was worth it cause I finished it (well, I think…).
Friday I spent all day wrapping.
Talk about exhausting. I only stopped so that I could go to my town's annual Christmas in the City. This year was the first year they had a holiday parade featuring floats from area fire departments and town staff. It was a little short and not very well planned, but it's only the first year. I'm sure each year it will get better. But, what I am impressed with is how creative some groups got with their floats. The above photo is a snowman attached to a snowplow to make it look like he's getting plowed out of the way. Others included full bands on the floats and firemen acting as reindeer for a firetruck. The leader even had a red nose like Rudolph!
Saturday I spent in the next town over participating in a holiday 5K run called "Jinglin' All the Way 5K.' My friend and I dressed in our holiday attire (ugly Christmas-sweaters, jingle bells on our shoes, and fuzzy winter hats) and ran the 3.1 miles scoring 52nd and 53rd out of 300. Not too shabby for only our third race! The run was supposed to coincide with the town's tree lighting ceremony, but unfortunately the timing didn't work out so we missed it. There's always next year!
This coming weekend is packed full of even more holiday festivities and I can't wait! What have you been doing to celebrate the season? Did you town have any Christmas celebrations?

Regulation of guns is a necessary action that needs to be taken in order to
save lives. A good definition of gun control is needed to understand the sides
and issues. Gun control is an effort to stop the rise in violent crime by
strengthening laws on the ownership of firearms. Persons in the group against
gun control believe that gun control is wrong, and that it is a violation of
constitutional rights. Those in favor of gun control believe that gun control
is good, that the Second Amendment does not apply to regular citizens, and that
guns should be taken out of the hands of criminals.
There are several major anti-gun control groups. These groups include the
National Rifle Association (NRA), and the Gun Owners of America (GOA) . The NRA

What if, instead of destroying more than 100 property tax-producing homes that will be lost to local projects (Mishawaka underpass, U.S. 31, Capital Avenue, Near Northeast neighborhood/Eddy Street), some of these homes were saved and moved to continue to produce badly needed tax income? Even if these homes were given away to qualified private, non-profit, or other public agencies, wouldn't it still be worth it? If our property taxes will again increase this year, it would be nice to see public officials attempting to pursue all means of generating tax income. What if, if none of these homes could be saved (hard to believe), qualified private, non-profit or public groups could be allowed to remove any and all reusable or recyclable materials from the homes? This systematic "deconstruction" of buildings is being done in other cities and even can provide employment or training opportunities. National averages show that 35 percent of landfill waste is from construction/demolition, and if I'm required to recycle, why aren't public agencies?

IT's LEE!
IT's BRUCE Vs. BOND!!!
This was to be the tag line for planned movie starring to 2 Action Movie Stars that never happened. It start on July 20, 1973 when Australian actor GEORGE LAZENBY, who gained fame as JAMES BOND 007 in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE in 1969 (replacing 007 favourite SEAN CONNERY), flown to HONG KONG to have Dinner with martial arts action movie star BRUCE LEE & GOLDEN HARVEST Producer RAYMOND CHOW to discuss playing a role in LEE's next movie, THE GAME OF DEATH.
|Lazenby, 007
This was to be 1 of 4 movies LAZENBY signed for GOLDEN HARVEST at$10,000 US per picture, a large pay cut from his normal film salary. LAZENBY's belief was that co-starring with LEE in these films would help his career, which was on the slide after quiting the part of JAMES BOND 007 in 1971's DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (a part of a 7 picture deal worth Million$), opting instead to make 1971's UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (which he would have star with rock legend JIMI HENDRIX, but he died of a drug overdose before filming), a decision he would come to regret.
|George Lazenby
The Plot follows a HONG KONG cop played by LEE, investigating the spread of a mysterious addictive drug that acts like an aphrodisiac and a hallucenogen on anyone who takes it. When his own sister falls under its influence, he hunts down the man behind the drug trade, the evil billionaire Mr. Chin. At the same time, a Australian officer played by LAZENBY, has also been sent to stop Chin's drug empire. Together, they battle the drug kingpin's dealers and henchmen.
|Bruce Lee in Action
Not only was the movie to star LEE & LAZENBY, but also Japanese film star SONNY CHIBA, who is best known today for starring in director QUENTIN TARANTINO's 2003 movie KILL BILL Vol.1 as swordsmaster "Hattori Hanzo".
GOLDEN HARVEST had SONNY CHIBA flown to HONG KONG to meet with both LEE & LAZENBY & have him sign the contract at a planned press conference to promote the film. At just about the very moment that CHIBA's plane was landing in HONG KONG, it was being announced that BRUCE LEE had died from an acute cerebral edema due to an allergic from the medication EQUAGESIC while in the apartment of Taiwanese actress BETTY TING PEI.
When the shock was over with and LEE place to rest, CHIBA now felt uncomfortable continuing with the project with LEE, decided not to do the film. CHIBA instead went on to make the film that would launch himself into international success, with 1974's STREET FIGHTER (infamous for getting an X-Rating just for its violence).
|Kill Bill, Vol. 1
|Sonny Chiba as the Street Fighter
|Bruce Lee & Betty Ting Pei
|Actors James Coburn & Steve McQueen at Lee's funeral
LAZENBY himself was bound by a contract to do the film, so GOLDEN HARVEST had him takeover LEE's lead role & HONG KONG actress ANGELA MAO (who is considered HONG KONG's 1st female Action Star, with 1971's LADY WHIRLWIND, aka DEEP THRUST) was cast in LAZENBY's old role.
|Angela Mao
Meanwhile in the UNITED STATES, WARNER BROS. also felt that without BRUCE LEE's Starpower attached that the movie wasn't worth the financial risk also dropped out of the film, which cause producer RAYMOND CHOW to significantly scaled back the budget from $10,000,000 to $850,000. Still very high for a Hong Kong film at the time. CHOW & his GOLDEN HARVEST studio enlisted rival HONG KONG studio the SHAW BROS. run by producer RUN RUN SHAW as a co-producer to replace the departed WARNER BROS. with the film's huge production costs.
RAYMOND CHOW tried to beef up the film's box office appeal by trying to still link BRUCE LEE's name to the production by casting the now infamous actress BETTY TING PEI, HONG KONG martial arts actor SAMMO HUNG (who also co-starred with LAZENBY in THE MAN FROM HONG KONG) as a bit player & the film's fight choreographer, and one of GOLDEN HARVEST's best directors, HUANG FENG.
|Actress Betty Ting Pei
|Actor Sammo Hung
|Director Huang Feng
LAZENBY's other two films he was to make with LEE, THE MAN FROM HONG KONG in 1975, & A QUEEN'S RANSOM in 1976 were made with HONG KONG actor JIMMY WANG YU in the BRUCE LEE roles. WANG YU starred in the classic 1967 film THE ONE ARMED SWORDSMAN, which was the first HONG KONG movie to make $1 Million at the Box Office and made JIMMY WANG YU HONG KONG's biggest star before BRUCE LEE arrived, who was now trying to reclaiming that throne with LEE gone.
|The One Armed Swordsman
|Bruce Lee & Jimmy Wang Yu
Watching a DVD copy of the movie, I couldn't help but imagine what BRUCE could've brought to this role and how this would've effected his film career, good or bad. What other movies and roles he had in mind for the future?
|Bruce Lee
So many "What if's".

Top 10 Best Presentations Ever
September 9, 2006 at 10:06 pm Leave a comment
Wow. Mostly good list of the best presentations ever given. Notice how none of them consist of a guy talking in monotone to a Powerpoint slide. The presentation slide was invented to be a lubricant for presentations, not the presentation itself.
There's some interesting stuff in here. Most of these have a business edge, but there are some classics like Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream". Invaluable advise for all entrepreneurs who double as chief evangelists for their products.
Top Ten Best Presentations Ever.

I thought this recipe was going to be a total flub... and it ended up being GREAT! Kevin absolutely loved these and they tasted just like McDonalds! (And since the Italian McDonalds is ridiculously expensive, this recipe is a great substitute! It's an under $5 meal!)
Chicken Nuggets
1 egg
1 c water
1 c flour
2 teas salt
1 teas onion powder
1/4 teas pepper
1/8 teas garlic powder
a pinch of paprika (the original recipe called for MSG.. but of course everyone knows MSG isn't good for you and it actually doesn't have flavor it's self, it just enhances the other flavors... when dealing with chicken, paprika will do the same thing.. so I used it instead)
Oil for frying (I use peanut oil)
4 chicken breasts (i used 3 because that's how ours come packaged, and it was plenty for Kevin and I)
- Beat egg and combine with water
- Combine flour, salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic powder, and paprika in a gallon sized ziplock bag
- Pound each chicken breast until 1/4 inch thick
- Trim into bite sized pieces
- Toss chicken with flour mixture
- Remove chicken from flour, dip in the egg mixture and toss with the flour again
- Throw entire bag (flour and chicken) in the freezer for at least an hour
- Cover the remaining egg mixture and place in fridge
- Remove from freezer, dip the chicken in the egg mixture
- Toss chicken with flour mixture
- Deep fry at 375 (190C for those in Europe!) for 10-12 minutes (or until golden brown)
- Remove from deep fryer and drain on a BROWN PAPER BAG (draining on paper towels will cause them to go soggy!)

text: I love it when something unusual and amazing happens, and Circle Istanbul is that kind of tour. Booked through Medhills Travel (an exceptional travel agency – see my review) I thought I knew what to expect – a small group tour of how a local Turk lives, shops and worships in Istanbul – but I was delighted to find it was a gourmet experience as well as visiting some of very diverse neighborhoods of Istanbul. Our guide, Polat Korkmaz, wore a t-shirt that said "Follow Me" and we did – walking through farmer's markets, back streets and neighborhoods we would never have ventured into if not for this opportunity. Very well organized tour that included a ride up the Golden Horn on a ferry boat, short bus rides between locations in an air conditioned shuttle bus and walking, walking, walking. Wear comfortable shoes, take a sun block and bring your appetite; we sampled so many varieties of foods that I simply lost count. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Istanbul for the first time, or the fifth time. It was extraordinary and we'll be talking about our Circle Istanbul experience for years to come.

Two More Mother's Day Cards
I decided to make a couple more Mother's Day cards to send to Send a Smile 4 Kids. The inspiration for my cards came from this card I found through Pinterest. I was especially drawn to the background, with the alternating patterned paper panels.
I began by choosing 4 patterned papers from Recollections' "Paddywack" 6x6" pad. I then chose the cardstock colors for each bird to coordinate with those patterns. I die cut the birds from yellow & blue cardstock, using the "Bird & Leaf" die from Sizzix. I die cut it a second time from hot pink and blue cardstock. I removed the wings from the second set of birds (I promise, they didn't scream!), and glued them to the blue & yellow birds. I inked around the birds with Faded Jeans (blue) & Spiced Marmalade (yellow) Distress inks, to give them a bit more definition. I finished my birds by coloring in the eyes with a black marker.
To create my backgrounds, I cut yellow & pale green cardstock pieces to 4.25x5.5", and adhered my patterned paper pieces to those. I applied foam tape to the back of each bird so I could pop them up. One trend that I've been noticing is to create a "messy nest" by looping thread and adhering that under your focal piece. I've never really been drawn to that, but decided to give it a try for these cards. So I got some cream-colored thread, looped it several times around my fingers, and arranged it carefully into a "messy" nest, sticking it to the foam tape on the back of the birds. Finally I adhered my birds in place on the card fronts. I actually like the messy nest effect, at least on these cards!
For the greeting, I used one from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' "Mother's Day Sentiments." I printed it onto pink & blue strips cut to 1"x3". I also cut banner ends from the same cardstock for each. After I decided where to place them, I glued my banner ends onto the backgrounds, the popped the greeting pieces on top of those with foam tape. Finally, I adhered my completed card fronts to two A2 card bases.
I'm entering these cards in Virginia's View Challenge #14: "Layers and Dimensions."

Our poor Gavin became sick very suddenly on Monday night. He couldn't hold anything down and by the next morning was very pale and lethargic. We made an appointment and took him to the pediatrician at 2:00 on Tuesday. Dr. Later walked in and said "we're going to the hospital" before he even asked us a single question. He could just tell that he was very dehydrated. His nurse walked us over (the office is attached to the Provo hospital) and he was admitted. They gave him an IV, but it took 4 tries to get it because he was so dehydrated.
They expected him to feel better within 4 or 5 hours and planned to keep him overnight to make sure. But, he ended up getting a high fever. They ran several tests, but could never figure out what it was. Every test came back negative.
He did a lot of sleeping. Unfortunately for me, the pull out bed was not so comfy. He also did a lot of crying when a nurse would come in. He had them poking him so much that he just knew something bad was going to happen when they came in.
By Wednesday evening his fever had broken and he started feeling a little better. On Thursday morning he would finally eat and drink, even though it wasn't much. But, he was hydrated, eating, and the fever was gone so they let us take him home. He's still sick, but we hope he'll be completely better soon.

United States District Court, D. Kansas
November 15, 2017
JOHN BROWN and BARBARA BROWN, Plaintiffs,v.K&L TANK TRUCK SERVICE, INC., ALFONSO MARTINEZ, and TOM HERRELL, Defendants.
Thomas Marten, Judge
matter is before the court on defendants' motions to
amend the pretrial order (Dkt. 106) and for rulings on
certain issues of law (Dkt. 108). Plaintiffs filed a motion
in limine (Dkt. 110) in anticipation of the upcoming trial.
For the reasons stated below, defendants' motions are
denied. Plaintiffs' motion is granted in part, denied in
part without prejudice, and taken under advisement until
Defendants' Motion to Amend the Pretrial Order
pretrial order was entered on March 7, 2017. On March 30,
2017, the Board of Directors of K & L Tank Truck Service,
Inc. ("K & L") met and passed a resolution
declaring any contract-if it should be determined that such a
contract existed-with plaintiff John Brown for lifetime
employment to be void.
argue that in Kansas, "a contract between a
corporation's director and the corporation is voidable at
the instance of the corporation or the stockholders if not
properly approved or ratified by the corporation."
(Dkt. 107, at 2). Defendants move to add this alternative
defense to the pretrial order.
court may modify the order issued after a final pretrial
conference only to prevent manifest injustice."
Fed.R.Civ.P. 16(e). Defendants bear the burden to demonstrate
manifest injustice. Smith v. Bd. of Cty. Comm'rs of
Cty. of Lyon, 216 F.Supp.2d 1209, 1218 (D. Kan. 2002).
filed their motion to amend on November 1, 2017. The
parties' trial is scheduled to begin on November 28,
2017. Defendants could have filed this motion earlier and
therefore, fails to show manifest injustice under these
circumstances. Furthermore, plaintiffs will be prejudiced if
defendants are allowed to add an alternative defense this
late in the case. Defendants' motion is denied.
Defendants' Motion for Rulings on Undecided Issues of
request the court to rule on undecided issues of law.
Plaintiffs oppose defendants' request and argue
defendants are attempting to file a second motion for summary
motion essentially asks for reconsideration of Judge
Lungstrum's rulings made in his Memorandum and Order
(Dkt. 98). Judge Lungstrum granted summary judgment on
several claims; but held that summary judgment was not proper
as to whether defendant Alfonso Martinez had actual authority
to bind K & L to a contract for lifetime employment.
Judge Lungstrum declined to grant summary judgment on
plaintiffs' claim of apparent authority because
defendants failed to raise it in their opening brief.
Furthermore, Judge Lungstrum did not rule on the issue of
ratification because a jury must first resolve the issue of
apparent authority. The court will not reconsider Judge
Lungstrums's rulings. Plaintiffs are correct that
defendants may request judgment as a matter of law under
Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(a) at the close of plaintiffs' evidence.
Defendants' motion is denied.
Plaintiffs' Motion in Limine
motion in limine addresses 26 separate issues, and is largely
generic. In many instances, plaintiffs raise general issues
of law or requests that defense counsel be directed to follow
the federal rules of civil procedure and evidence.
purpose of an in limine motion is to aid the trial process by
enabling the Court to rule in advance of trial on the
relevance of certain forecasted evidence, as to issues that
are definitely set for trial, without lengthy argument at, or
interruption of, the trial." Altman v. New Rochelle
Pub. Sch. Dist., No. 13 CIV. 3253 (NSR), 2017 WL 66326,
at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2017) (quoting Palmieri v.
Defaria, 88 F.3d 136, 141 (2d Cir. 1996)). Courts look
with disfavor on motions in limine "the gist of which
is that the opposing party should be required to comply with
the rules of evidence . . . without identifying specific
evidence which there is reason to believe may be
introduced." Graham v. Union Pac. R. Co., 2008
WL 4643292, at *1 (E.D. Ark. Oct. 17, 2008). Thus, such a

'Gentlemen of Science' is the collective name for employees of Birdwatch magazine, past and present, and pre-me they were all indeed gentlemen. Yesterday I met up with two of the gents, Ian and Simon, for a birding morning at Rainham. We've been trying to organise this trip since late January, so it was a pleasure and a triumph to finally co-ordinate ourselves to do it. Ian met me at Woodford tube station and from there we drove to the reserve and, after a chat with Howard, went down to the start of the trail.
On to Butts hide, from where the gents picked out a very distant group of small waders on the shore of the Target Pools - three Dunlins and four Ringed Plovers.
At the Dragonfly pools, we heard a bit of pinging and a pair of Bearded Tits came chasing over the reeds, sadly not pausing long enough for any photos.
The Kingfishers nesting by the MDZ are due to fledge any day now. Unsurprisingly nothing happened during the two minutes we spent in the hide.

I have like, a shit ton of guy friends. Not sure exactly why, because I've always considered myself better at being friends with girls, but now that I think about it, most of the "girls" I befriend end up realizing somewhere mid-friendship that they're trans, and abruptly become my bro (which is pretty cool, because I get all their old clothes most of the time. Score.) There was a point in my life where I was actively trying to attain more girl friends, but I've since come to realize that I'm just drawn to masculine energy, regardless of the gender attached.
However, the downside of being non-binary and being friends with a whole lot of guys from different walks of life is that I encounter so much casual sexism directed at women. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not friends with a bunch of douchebags or something. I have pretty great taste in people, if I do say so myself. However, I've been in groups of trans men, where the discussion turns to how they knew they were men because they're so brave, strong, capable of manly things, etc, etc. Having grown up an avid tomboy, I identify with these things a little bit; I wanted to play baseball, camp outside, I chopped off all my hair when I was nine, to the horror of my mother. When it comes up among trans men, though, I'm instantly reminded of all the tomboys I know. The women with unconventional interests and hobbies, with short hair or a masculine attitude; they're still women, regardless of these "manly" habits, but they've faced all kind of criticism for those behaviors. Can't women be strong, brave, sportsy, and butch without being…well, men?
Now, that might sound like a really particular, unique kind of issue, but bear with me. With the continued exposure of trans celebs, we find ourselves in a time where more and more people are learning that transgender is a thing. Which, I gotta admit, is pretty damn cool for people who might have otherwise just wondered what was "wrong" with them all their lives. However, with the prevalence of transition stories, I've heard more and more trans men and women start making assertions that any person who's gender non-conforming is a trans man or woman still in denial. Butch lesbians, for instance, are often mistaken for young trans men, such as a friend of mine who's happily female (and gay), but wears a lot of cargo shorts. I've seen the argument "Well, if they want to look like and behave like men so much, why don't they just call themselves men?"
A lot of that, I know, stems from a sense of insecurity; if someone's life journey can look so similar to a trans man's journey, only to have them be cis, that's got to feel a little invalidating (and it brings up the argument that if that person is content in being a masculine woman, why couldn't this trans man be that content? Why did he have to get surgeries, change his name, or lose friends and family? Why endure all of that hardship?) And it also brings up a bit of visual confusion; I'm sure we all try not to stereotype, but it's always a bit exciting when you think you see someone who's also trans. I always get super excited to meet new trans people, just because it's a unique struggle and it's the fucking best to know someone who shares some of that experience. I've also made the blunder of assuming someone is trans (This is that moment where I should kick young me and remind them to ASK pronouns before assuming!) But the beauty of having such an array of gender presentations and roles is that we don't have to personally understand someone's journey, and we certainly don't have to match up with anyone else.
When these kinds of discussions happen, I'm generally the only non-man in the room, however, so it puts me in an interesting spot. People generally expect me to stay neutral, since I'm neither, but I'm pretty quick to jump in. Normally with some snide remark like "aw shit, I like those things, am I a man now?" which serves as a pretty good reality check for the dudes I hang out with. However, in the wrong company, I find myself shoehorned into being a women's advocate, a role I would normally enjoy, but it comes at the cost of my own gender. There's just this idea that since they're men, they're even further away from being women than I am, so I'm the next best thing to discuss women with. Again, mildly awkward, but generally, I'll bite.
It comes down to something like this: are we defining our genders by the things we do and the things we like? As a trans man, are you taking a toxic idea, like science being a male pursuit, and using it to "prove" your manliness? That you were secretly a dude all along? Does your high school "phase" of being a baby butch lesbian make you assume that other butch lesbians are just on their way to realizing their "real" gender?
Basically, what it comes down to, is that a lot of trans men seek to transition without challenging any of the restrictive gender roles that they hated growing up. And that's totally normal, because it takes a lot of introspection to realize that you're doing that (I had to question myself on that front when I started identifying as NB) and it doesn't make anyone a bad person. It's so easy to fall into that way of thinking, especially when so many people challenge your gender as a trans person. I just hope transgender becomes something as boring as describing yourself as a pisces. You know, like "Okay, that's nice Gregg, but that's some pretty useless information because I don't care about that stuff." That way, no one will have to feel like they have to cling to a certain role to prove themselves. Oh, and then I can enjoy my gaggle of guy friends without having to call out sexism so much. Maybe.

I've been really excited about a re-do of my logo to start off 2013.
I wanted something to move forward with that I could feel really represented my company's identity. I couldn't think of a better candidate other than my cousin, Marc Johns, for the job. With lots of design experience and not only than that, a wonderful ability to draw, I knew Marc would be able to reproduce what I had in mind. Marc is a full time artist now, and no longer does logo design. Luckily for me he was willing to make an exception, being that I am his cousin, which I am very grateful for. I love the hand-written & hand-drawn look that he created for me. What do you think?
The seagull is a mainstay for me. It is representative of the meaning of my first name in the Welsh language, as well as my first love of photographing nature and my continuous favoritism for shooting outdoors whenever possible.
I've already integrated the new design onto my website…
and my facebook page…
If you've never seen the whimsical drawings of Marc Johns, I suggest you head on over to his website.
There, you'll discover that people the world over have fallen in love with his original works so much, they have even been tattooing them on their bodies.
I warn you, you may spend hours browsing his fun drawings, and then discovering that t-shirts & iphone cases might be a good idea…
or better yet, owning a copy of each of his two books, which are jam-packed with all the very best.

I do not now speak for anyone -as to the what of 'outrage'. Only as to myself. I do not go so far as to think beyond today. There were yesterdays I believed I was The Everyman" but not now. I do not infer a truth for me representative of all humanity. So then to speak of outrage", it is to say I have dissected it out for myself. The roots of my outrage follows vectors spun from forgotten but now resurrected specifics. We all tell singular 'my-life' stories, parsing the vectors (strands) to tell or hide. It contextualizes the point we're trying to get across, the referent for the selfportayal we wish to tell to communicate. What I relate here is about 'outrage.'
I speculate and have speculated as to this in my art, (mistakenly) assuming myself as an Everyman.
I'd forgotten that I did not see myself as an Everyboy. None of those boys on the streets were like me -their mothers did not demand them rollerskate on the sidewalk where no other children played, skated, rode their bicycles (which I was not allowed to have.) finding myself the new kid on the block, the only 'Jewish' kid ... among the gentiles (the goyim) whose mothers welcomed me to their kitchens, served me cookies. And on whose living room furniture I could sit on. One good thing was that I was not forbidden going to their houses. .... at Bernies, in his living room, listen to 'Don Winslow of the Navy' on the radio. (Ah Bernie, where are you today?) Did I seethe with outrage when I was eight or nine. I did, I remember, during my adolescent years!
I acquired my capacity for stoicism. I'm amazed now, awed by that. To the child, it was unimaginable, no alternative responses to be had. It would incite mother to a horror show of reprisals, seething anger and a trespass never to be forgiven or forgotten, accomplished zilch, nothing. I shed tears to learn not to.
Withal the above, my parents claimed they 'loved' me, and I ought naught but loved them in return. I tried. I tried, but could not make them proud of me at things I loved to do. It had to be what 'they' wanted. And I would never quite bring myself to that. I was an egoist full of egotism, revolting at my winning their approval on their terms.
My father would say, "well, you know your mother, the way she is." Would say this many times during my growing up, -as to this he meant "But what can I do? Mother is the way she is." This was not his fault, but merely fate ... Fate was Millie hen-pecking him. This man wanted no aggravation, just peace and quiet when he came home at night was my role model.
To Millie, it was about 'fault' and 'disappointment' -and I being a burdensome child. About not appreciating what a sacrifice she'd made, what a wonderful woman she was for putting up with me. Marrying my father, being my nurse maid. Enough, said.
I was an embarrassment. My not getting good grades in school, not knowing how and when to keep my mouth shut in company, saying the wrong things, not behaving like 'the devoted son'. Such it was as to who she would have wanted me to be and eventually become: it just didn't get across to dense little me -though It was continually enough drummed into me. For Millie, my destiny was to be her eventual caretaker in her old age. That terrified me. These were the tendrils of what the word 'Outrage' denotes now to me. Few now are my tears. (The ducts dry up.) These many years, outrage has been 'Inrage' ... a playdough in my art molding 'pornography'. The roots (vectors) charged / energized by 'inrage' is my defiance, my art refuting societal taboos.
Such, is the story I tell, the explaining I do to myself of the legacy I experienced: this art I do, the work ('doing me') embodies., at the core my 'inrage' as 'outrage'.
From another perspective, it is out of my disorientation and confusion that my art addresses what I the child presumed was unthinkable to consider. It was with and of the 'obscene' and 'Impermissibility' (I called 'My Pornography as Art') that I rediscover 'Outrage'. Yes, 'the child' was dealt a lousy hand to play Life's game, born to a father who hides my mother from me. keeping secret his divorce and remarrying. He'd replaces my mother with an impostor, a horrible and henpecking woman. I was not a happy child, nor allowed to promulgate any sense of my own sanity.
But, this art I have done and do, is about the mysteries of 'The Obscene', and my cure, my rescue....
To be cont'd.

Patrick Kane, Trevor van Riemsdyk boost Blackhawks
Score in third period to help Chicago rally past Starsby Sean Shapiro / NHL.com Correspondent
DALLAS -- Trevor van Riemsdyk scored to break a tie with 4:03 remaining, and the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Dallas Stars 5-3 at American Airlines Center on Saturday.
Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen made a save on Artem Anisimov, but van Riemsdyk tapped home the rebound to make it 4-3 with his second goal of the season.
Patrick Kane scored to tie the game 3-3 at 9:59 of the third period.
WATCH: All Blackhawks vs. Stars highlights
Corey Crawford made 31 saves to help Chicago win its second game in a row after a three-game losing streak.
"We're doing things right. It's never fun to lose," said Ryan Hartman, who scored Chicago's first goal. "We know we're a really good team, and we know we can win a lot of games and a lot of games on the road, so it feels good to get back on the winning track, and hopefully just keep it rolling."

Crawford passed Ed Belfour for third place on Chicago's all-time wins list with his 202nd NHL victory. He trails Glenn Hall (275) and Tony Esposito (418).
"That means a lot. It's a privilege to play in Chicago," Crawford said. "They treat us so well there. I just want to keep going and keep moving up. Yeah, that's pretty special."
The Stars went 2-2-2 on a six-game homestand. They trail the Calgary Flames by five points for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference.
"There's no easy game. Again, we let points slip away," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "Every game that we lost points in on this homestand, we had a big part in letting it slip away."
Radek Faksa gave the Stars a 1-0 lead eight seconds into the second period when he beat Crawford with a sharp-angled shot after winning the opening faceoff against Jonathan Toews.

The Blackhawks tied the game 1-1 at 6:20 of the second when Hartman scored after a crisp pass from Tanner Kero.
Gustav Forsling gave Chicago a 2-1 lead at 8:34 of the second when his point shot deflected off Dallas forward Patrick Sharp's stick and past Lehtonen, who was screened on the play.
Jamie Benn tied it 2-2 40 seconds into the third period when he beat Crawford with a backhand from below the left faceoff circle after receiving a pass from Cody Eakin.
Tyler Seguin gave Dallas a 3-2 lead when he forced a turnover behind the Chicago net and beat Crawford through the five-hole at 9:24 of the third.
Toews scored into an empty net with one second remaining to make it 5-3.
Lehtonen made 31 saves.

Highlight of the game
Kane skated past Stars defenseman John Klingberg and dragged the puck around Lehtonen to score on a backhand, tying the game 35 seconds after Seguin gave Dallas the lead. "That was great," Crawford said. "We're creating so much offensively and things are going in bunches for us right now. We're never out of a game, and it was nice to get those goals there."

Unsung performance of the game
Hartman dove to disrupt a shot attempt by Benn with 1:56 remaining. "Oh, what a play," Quenneville said. "Diving poke. Good anticipation there."
They said it
"It's huge for us. We can't just rely on our top guys to get points every single night. It's tough for those guys too, to play against other teams' top D-men all the time, and you can't count on them to get two or three goals every night. So it helps us out a lot when the whole team contributes. We got two goals from the D today too, so that was huge." -- Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson on their depth
"It's a terrible loss, especially after we took the lead and we gave their best player a free look, and then we get a D trapped on the game-winner. That's not good hockey at all." -- Stars coach Lindy Ruff
Need to know
The Stars are 0-18-2 this season when trailing entering the third period. … Benn has five goals and three assists during his season-high six-game point streak. … Anisimov got his 19th assist on Kane's game-tying goal; he had 22 in 77 games last season.
What's next
Blackhawks: At the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN, TVA Sports, NHL.TV)
Stars: At the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday (7:30 p.m. ET; TSN4, FS-SW+, NHL.TV)

MEXICO: Dead Bodies Discovered In A Car At A Cancun Beach
Police discovered five dead men stuffed into a car at the beach side of Cancun.
Cancun is now having similar murders to those in Acapulco, a once glamorous holiday destination that is now Mexico's murder capital.
Police are desperately trying to identify the bodies of five men who were stuffed into a car in the resort city.
Police say the bodies were found early Wednesday but have not yet been identified.
The latest case comes amid a rise in violence including drug and gang related killings in the once tranquil holiday destination.
Because of the thriving drug trade and widespread extortion, fear is rampant among locals because an alarming number of the murders ultimately go unsolved.
The situation is so threatening that Cancun's multi-billion dollar tourism industry is under threat.
The beaches have been completely deserted with almost no police presence visible to speak about.
A man had been gunned down in the sand after four thugs raided the hotel he was staying in.
This was in one of the apparent safer areas of Cancun.
It's believed local politicians are under pressure to keep quiet about the crime epidemic so as not to create an economic disaster for Cancun and Mexico's tourism industry.
On Tuesday, prosecutors announced the arrest of three Cancun police officers in relation to the kidnapping of four Colombian citizens.
An increasing number of Colombians have been involved in business and other activities in Mexico that make them vulnerable to extortion or kidnapping.
Last week, gunmen on water scooters also shot at a roving vendor on a beach in Cancun's hotel zone. Nobody was wounded.
With investigators in Acapulco attending, on average 10 murder scenes a day, the alarming figures in Cancun are so bad that the homicide rate has doubled in the past year.
Mexico's drug and extortion cartels are continuing to spread fear throughout the country and it's understood more than 100 people have been slaughtered in Cancun since the beginning of 2018.
Travel advisories from Australia and the US state that visitors should exercise a high degree of caution when in Mexico, the second lowest of four travel advice levels.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) warns of high levels of violent crime and drug-related violence.
Murder, armed robbery, sexual assault and kidnapping are risks, including in popular tourist destinations and beach resorts.
Risks are rampant after dark.
Below is Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade main advice for Australians considering visiting Mexico.
- Pay close attention to your personal security at all times
- Avoid travelling at night outside of major cities, including on major highways
- Avoid changing money at the airport if possible, or change only small amounts to avoid attracting attention
- Use only official taxis from airports. Pre-pay your fare at one of the official taxi company booths located in the arrivals hall at airport terminals
- Use only radio-dispatched taxis or taxis based at designated stands or sitios, especially in Mexico City
- Use only first-class buses
- Using toll or cuota roads may reduce the risk of crime when driving
- Don't leave your drinks or food unattended, especially in bars or nightclubs
- Don't accept food, drinks, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances
- Monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks. Avoid trouble spots.

I'm going to assume you are gathering a lot of eggs! Be careful about having a rooster around... and diligent about the gathering of the eggs - unless you plan to raise chicks. I have a "horror story!" ;-)
Fun hobby. We used to make quite a number of angel food cakes with the eggs we gathered as I was growing up! :-) Yum!

Chickens are so interesting! Pretty birds!

That black star is exceptionally beautiful. I'm trying to figure out what I have here. When I got them as chicks they were labeled as Ameraucanas, but they are black with the emerald green feathers around their necks and with some white and gold feathers mixed in. They lay brown eggs. They are really sweet. I guess they are mutt chickens.

Dedicated to Professor Hari M Srivastava
1 Introduction
In literature, there are many papers about the geometrical properties of different sequence spaces such as [1–9]. Opial [10] introduced the Opial property and proved that the sequence spaces () have this property but (, ) does not have it. Franchetti [11] showed that any infinite dimensional Banach space has an equivalent norm that satisfies the Opial property. Later, Prus [12] introduced and investigated the uniform Opial property for Banach spaces. The Opial property is important because Banach spaces with this property have the weak fixed point property.
2 Definition and preliminaries
Let be a real Banach space and let (resp. ) be the unit sphere (resp. the unit ball) of X. A Banach space X has the Opial property if for any weakly null sequence in X and any x in , the inequality holds. We say that X has the uniform Opial property if for any there exists such that for any with and any weakly null sequence in the unit sphere of X, the inequality holds.
For a bounded set , the ball-measure of noncompactness was defined by . The function Δ defined by is called the modulus of noncompact convexity. A Banach space X is said to have property , if . This property is an important concept in the fixed point theory and a Banach space X possesses property if and only if it is reflexive and has the uniform Opial property.
A Banach space X is called nearly uniformly convex (NUC) if for every , there exists such that for every sequence with , we have . Huff [18] proved that every (NUC) Banach space is reflexive and has property . A Banach space X has property if and only if for each , there exists such that for each element and each sequence in with , there is an index k for which .
- (i)
if and only if ,
- (ii)
for all scalar α with ,
- (iii)
for all and all with .
- (iv)
for all and all with .
- (i)
- (ii)
whenever ,
- (iii)
- (iv)
if and , then .
If the modular ρ is convex, then the equality defines a norm which is called the Luxemburg norm.
A modular ρ is said to satisfy the -condition if for any , there exist constants , such that for all with . If ρ provides the -condition for any with dependent on a, then ρ provides the strong -condition (briefly ).
for and .
where ℱ is the field of all complex or real numbers. The Zweier operator was studied by Şengönül and Kayaduman [26].
It is easy to see that the space is a Banach space with respect to the Luxemburg norm.
where and with .
3 Main results
Since is reflexive and convex, -type spaces have many useful applications, and it is natural to consider a geometric structure of these spaces. From this point of view, we generalized the space by using the Zweier operator and then obtained the equality , that is, it was seen that the structure of the space was preserved. In this section, our goal is to investigate a geometric structure of the modular space related to the fixed point theory. For this, we will examine property and the uniform Opial property for . Finally, we will give some fixed point results. To do this, we need some results which are important in our opinion.
Lemma 3.1 [2]
where with and .
Lemma 3.2 [2]
If , convergence in norm and in modular are equivalent in .
Lemma 3.3 [2]
If , then for any , there exists such that implies .
Now we give the following two lemmas without proof.
Lemma 3.4 If for any , then .
Lemma 3.5 For any , if and only if .
for all with , where and .
for each and . □
Lemma 3.7 If , then for any , there exists such that implies .
This is a contradiction. So, the proof is complete. □
Theorem 3.8 The space has property .
for any by Lemma 3.7.
So, the inequality (3.4) implies that . Consequently, the space possesses property . □
Since property implies NUC, NUC implies property and property implies reflexivity, we can give the following result from Theorem 3.8.
Corollary 3.9 The space is nearly uniform convex, reflexive and also it has property .
Theorem 3.10 The space has the uniform Opial property.
Since , it follows from Lemma 3.3 that there is τ depending on ζ only such that . □
Corollary 3.11 The space has property and the fixed point property.

Many developers, myself included, live out most of their lives in the terminal. But what about the rest of the time? Most likely your terminal stays minimized or otherwised hidden in an activity bar. If you are anything like me you will have lots and lots of such tabs in the activity bar. So how do we find our way back to the right terminal?
Xterm control code
If you are on a *nix based system, you are most likely using xterm. And if you are using xterm you can easily modify your terminals title.
Like most terminal based negotiation configuration, there is a command code for starting and stopping this title sequence. It goes like this.
PS1="\e]2;My title\a>"
Put that into your
~/.bashrc and you will be given a > for prompt and a lovely "My title" for title. Adding dynamic data to the title is done just like how you do it for the prompt itself.
PS1="\e]2;I am \u\a>"
Final bash prompt
Let us merge this with the magnificent bash prompt we built before. Do not forget to enclose the non-printing characters!
PROMPT_COMMAND='PS1="\[\e]2;\[email protected]\h:\w\a\]${c_user}\u${c_reset}@${c_user}\h${c_reset}:${c_path}\w${c_reset}$(git_prompt)\$ "'

Reprinted from Save Our Schools Arizona PAC.
In November, voters will have the chance to VOTE NO on Prop 305, the universal expansion of Arizona's ESA voucher program.
So, what is an ESA? ESA stands for Empowerment Scholarship Account, which is a deceptive word for voucher. Vouchers were ruled unconstitutional in Arizona in 2006 because they divert public money to private schools. So ESAs were created as a loophole.
Here's a short video showing why we want a NO vote on Prop 305.
