I know this is quite lazy of me, but I just remembered that I promised a friend that I'd show her my favorite essay in college. So here it is! Enjoy guys 🙂
Btw, I still really fucking hate these tiny sized ugly shits wordpress calls fonts. It really pisses me off typing and reading shit with such shit fonts. Shit.
Everyone Should Not Overlook The Importance of Diarrhea
Before you squeeze your face in disgust, understand that I am not a fan of toilet humor, nor do I wish diarrhea on my friends nor enemies. If someone was to mention his/her diarrhea experience to me, I'm sure I'd cringe for the most part of the narration. So why then, would I suggest you try to get a feel of diarrhea?
As a college student who recently moved out of my parent's house, majority of my pocket money is spent on food. Not being the greatest cook, I either have to settle for my mediocre meals, or eat out, and depending on the amount of money, I can either settle for cheap but unhealthy food which is never hard to find, or expensive (from a broke college student's perspective) but healthy food which isn't always the easiest thing to spot. I usually settle for cheap food. In addition to not being a great cook, I am not an adventurous person with regards to food. I tend to avoid unfamiliar food as I've had many bad experiences with new food: puked when trying seafood for the first time, had bad gas for a week after trying mutton for the first time, diarrhea from taking chocolate milkshake from Carl's Jr. (I usually have McDonalds' milkshakes) etc. However, even with my touchy stomach, I still try to digress with food (though seldom) and I've learned lots of life lessons from suffering the consequences of my bad food choices.
My bad food choices have been the sole cause of most, if not all the times I've had diarrhea. During those times when the diarrhea occurred and it went away, I understood that diarrhea can actually be a good thing. Thinking that any good can come from having diarrhea may look as useless as the letters after the initial letter in the word "queue". The letters after the letter "Q" are super important and have a function even if they're overlooked. The same way we overlook the positives that can be taken from having diarrhea. However, once one stops looking at only the negatives of having diarrhea, you would be able to notice that a diarrhea experience can do as much good, as it would do harm to you.
It wouldn't be hard to find college students who are currently in school because their parents made them go to college. For others, it'll be for the purpose of securing a well-paying job which requires a degree that can only be earned in school. While for a few people, it'll be solely for furthering their current knowledge. Irrespective of what your reason for being in school is, once you're in school, the main goal is to succeed and come out with good grades. However, there will be times when one loses focus of the main goal simply because the individual has gotten distracted, confused, or downright tired of school work. This is a dangerous phase, as it can lead to a serious drop in one's grades which deters the person from achieving their main goal. To prevent my grades from dropping, I usually give myself pep talks, reschedule my weekly routines so I can have more breaks thereby feeling refreshed and ready to work after, and watching motivational speeches. Eric Thomas once said in a motivational speech, "When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe then you will be successful." That was one of the most powerful quotes I ever heard, and it usually got my mind back on the right track. Using the same quote over and over again got boring and stopped having its motivational power after a while. However, after having diarrhea, I revamped my initial inspirational quote into "When you want to succeed as bad as you need to use the toilet when diarrhea hits, THEN you will be successful." From my first diarrhea experience (which was when I was 11, and then once every other year) up until current day (I'm 19 now), nothing has been more motivational in my life than the revamped quote. It may seem funny at first glance, but if you've ever had a first-hand experience with diarrhea, hearing that quote will definitely remind you of bad times and once your reminiscent moment is connected with one's current goal of being successful, your mind will come back to focus.
Whether you're the social butterfly, or an introvert, it's quite hard if not impossible to go through a school system, elementary/middle/high school or even college, without having at least one friend. Elbert Hubbard once explained who a friend is when she said "a friend is one who knows you and loves you all the same." The types of friend one is likely to have is very broad and differs with each individual. However, one thing which remains constant with people and their friend(s) is that they like to hang out, albeit location and scenarios might differ. Sometimes, hanging out with your friend(s) can be fun. However, there will be times when you wouldn't want to hangout. When these times arise, it can be quite upsetting to your friend(s). Declining to hang out with an excuse like "I'm busy tonight" or "I'm sorry, I just can't" rarely goes without its consequences. People might argue that good friends are more understanding, and will not get upset if you decline their invitation. Such a statement is only tells the partial truth, because a good friend will overlook you declining his/her invitation to hangout, but once it becomes frequent, more likely than not, your friend will stop asking you to hangout. Sometimes, they may coerce you to join them through peer pressure, other times they may get annoyed with the frequency with which you decline hanging out, and reduce the number of times they invite you to hang out with them. To avoid being peer pressured into hanging out, while also not upsetting your friends, diarrhea can be quite helpful. Unless your friend is really inconsiderate, the minute you say "I'm sorry, I can't come…I have diarrhea", he/she will tender an apology to you and wish you the best, giving you ample time to do whatever it is you planned to do, while not annoying them by refusing to hang out. In addition to that, because diarrhea can be spontaneous, the excuse can be reusable for a good number of times.
One's appearance is very important, which is why lots of people go at great lengths to enhance their appearance. Sadly, society seems to promulgate skinniness as being the most acceptable body shape, and for that reason, many people try all they can to be skinny, going on diets, working out, etc. Some go as far as becoming anorexic/bulimic, just to lose some pounds, and look their best because society at large has propagated a certain body shape. For the people who are going through this struggle, and have gotten tired of calculating calories every time a meal is to be consumed, forcing themselves not to eat at certain times, diarrhea is quite helpful again. Even though it's a downside of experiencing it, diarrhea results in weight loss. Having diarrhea is good and bad. It's bad because it'll leave one dehydrated, but because it's bad, it's also good, as it makes you drink more water often which is good for the human body. So like it or not, diarrhea may be one of the best things that's ever happened to your physique, which in turn could spike up your attractiveness rating, according to modern day society.
Farting is a natural phenomenon which happens to every human being. Sometimes, farts happen at the worst places and at the worst times, where they must not be released into the atmosphere. More often than not, one succumbs to the urge and ends up fouling the air. Some people look down on their succumbing to this urge, while others may laugh at it or be totally indifferent towards it, since it is a natural phenomenon anyways. However, diarrhea is quite helpful in preventing farts at awkward places. If you've ever had diarrhea before, you know that unless you seek to defecate in your current outfit, it's quite impossible to fart. Diarrhea instills one with the fear of the inevitable consequence if one were to expel such a fart. A consequence so great, it overwhelms the urge to succumb to farting.
Above all, a single diarrhea experience can leave you in a thankful and appreciative mode once you recover from it. There's a famous saying that goes, "Experience is the best teacher" and I totally believe it to be true. The minute you experience and recover from diarrhea, you fully appreciate what it's like to NOT have diarrhea, and you finally can comprehend why I wouldn't wish this on my friends or enemies.
As I said earlier on, toilet humor has never been in my good books, and I have strong doubts it ever will, but thanks to an experience which I implore everyone to deliberately have at least once, I've picked up valuable life skills which has helped me figure out a new way to motivate myself, keep my friends, it's also taught me to never judge a person/thing, without putting myself in the shoes of the person experiencing it and this is why I believe everyone should not overlook the importance of diarrhea.

Well that's pretty much it. I should have lots of stuff ready by next weekend. Just too many things to read and write about this week. So don't expect blog activity. So yeah, follow @TheOiz and have a nice day!

|Home > Program Trace Macrocell Programmers Model > PTM register descriptions > About the sequencer registers
A PTM implementation can include a sequencer. If it does, software controls the sequencer by defining the events that cause the sequencer to move between its different states.
Each sequencer state transition event has its own register, and these registers are programed to control the state transitions. An additional register holds the current state of the sequencer. Table 3.35 lists the sequencer registers, with the register number and address offset of each register.
When programming the sequencer, you must program a valid encoding into each ETMSQabEVR, otherwise the behavior of the sequencer is unpredictable. For example, if you want the sequencer only to perform transitions between states 1 and 2, you must:
program ETMSQ12EVR
ETMSQ21EVR to control transitions between
these two states
program ETMSQ23EVR and
ETMSQ13EVR to
ensure that state 3 is never entered
program ETMSQ31EVR and
typically with the value
0x0000406F, to ensure
these transitions never occur.
If the sequencer must be in a particular state when the Programming
bit is cleared, the Sequencer State Register (
should be written after programming the Sequencer State Transition
Event Registers to ensure this value is used. If the Sequencer State
Register is not written then the sequencer state resets to 1 when
the ETM Programming bit is cleared.
Programming any of the Sequencer State Transition Event Registers when the Programming bit is set to 1 resets the sequencer to State 1. This behavior is implementation defined.
Table 3.35. Sequencer register allocation
|Short name
|Offset [a]
State 1 to State 2 Transition Event Register [b]
State 2 to State 1 Transition Event Register [b]
State 2 to State 3 Transition Event Register [b]

State 3 to State 2 Transition Event Register [b]
State 1 to State 3 Transition Event Register [b]
Current Sequencer State Register. See Current Sequencer State Register, ETMSQR
[a] Register offset where the registers are accessed in a memory-mapped scheme. The register offset is always 4 × (Register number).
[b] Each of the Sequencer State Transition Event Registers has the same bit assignments. See Sequencer State Transition Event Registers, ETMSQabEVR for details.

It has been already 7 whole months and 3 days to be exact, since the birth of Luca and you can call me crazy, but I really miss being pregnant! I knooow, I'm not crazy and I think I got all my brain cells back, more or less, but it was just a magical time, full of excitement and anticipation. That's why I want to share with you the exciting story of my labor...in details...yuppyyy!
Since the very moment I found out that I was pregnant, there was always a nagging thought in the back of my mind that scared the bejesus out of me....LABOR. Such a simple word but yet so powerful to make you feel helpless and...nauseous. You have read every single book out there, you took your intensive childbirth preparation class and you have watched every single show on the Health Discovery Channel, including repeats. You are scared to death and can't really understand how something the size of an elephant can make it's way out through such a tiny hole. And you are fucking tired of hearing people saying: "Don't worry darling, women have been giving birth forever...everybody does it...it's natural!" How can it be natural? Are you on crack? Your vagina will fucking explode! And then you realize that the people saying that are usually men (suckers!) or women with no kids.
I wanted to hear some real stories or at least I was dreaming of somebody telling me that there was no pain involved and your baby will just slip out, yes, like a suppository. But unfortunately I was wrong. Almost every woman who decided to share their horror stories didn't spare me any details. I was convinced that I wouldn't survive labor without being in excruciating pain for at least 20 hours, 2 epidurals and every single drug natural or synthetic available to human kind. But I guess I was one of the lucky one.
To be continued...
DCP: Never show any signs of despair when other people want to share their horror stories with you. Always keep your posture, be very positive and apply some more lipgloss while they are talking. Trust me…it will make them crumble! You can always cry at home later!

Assay Information
Gene Information
The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for both insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and mannose 6-phosphate (M6P). The IGF2 and M6P binding sites are located on different segments of the receptor. This receptor functions in the intracellular trafficking of lysosomal enzymes the activation of transforming growth factor beta and the degradation of IGF2. While the mouse Igf2r gene shows exclusive expression from the maternal allele imprinting of the human IGF2R gene appears to be polymorphic with only a minority of individuals showing expression from the maternal allele.

Yesterday I talked a little about MOR cosmetics and their oh so lovely packaging. Well if I was buying anything off packaging alone it would be MOR cosmetics but luckily their products are great too. When I see all their products it makes me want to have a vanity with vintage perfume bottles and such surrounded by all their lovely products. Here are some packaging favorites.

Regardless of the video games you play, players will always be up for a debate about the game that you're playing, and Overwatch players are no exception to the rule.
When you get into this particular form and its discussion, you will see a lot of people complaining about the hitbox of characters in Paladins. But their complaining is justified, as it seems like Paladins really has an issue when it comes to this particular trait, as they seem abnormally large for a shooter.
A user on the Battle.net, Izanami stated: "paladins has horrible hitboxes. so i can't play that game for very long. i'll get pissed off at the soldier guy shooting at the ground and killing me." which really makes it seem like there a huge hitbox problem in the game, and other players confirmed it.
But, amongst loads of minor complaints, a user called Skyfoogle took a lot of things into consideration and gave an objective opinion on the matter:
I've played both extensively and here are the reasons why I find Overwatch to be the better game
– Far better map design. More intricate pathways, better chokes, etc. Not a fan of how open the maps are in Paladins. They almost feel lazily made.
– Characters have a lot more personality.
– Takes more skill with less forgiving hitboxes
– More visually pleasing
– More balanced in my opinion

It is a time of corporate oppression. Fascism has quietly taken the country in its hands and holds it in its vicious grip. Motion pictures are rebooted to feed the consumer assembly lines, and childhood memories are auctioned to the highest bidder.
The Empire has overtaken its own citizens, creating a new order of evil and permanent suspicion, enslaving the masses through financial and social turmoil. All communication is monitored and recorded by the watchful Imperial eye.
The Empire- newly rejuvenated- moves to tighten their stranglehold on the planet, but a small group of rebels has formed an alliance, pledging their lives to the cause of the human condition. They fight from remote locations to hide their numbers.

British relations with Trucial 'OmSn, 1835-53,
During the eighteen years which followed the conclusion of the first
Maritime Truce^ the relations of the Trucial Shaikhs towards the British
Go\ ernment and towards one another at sea continued to be regulated
by the General Treaty of 18^0, supplemented by a series of maritime
truces similar in their terms to that of 1885. The second and third
truces, concluded on the ISth of April 1S36 and the 15th of April 1837
respectively, were apparently for not more than eight months each; but
the period of the fourth, signed in 1838, was fixed, at the instance of
Shaikh Sultan-bin-Saqar, at one year. Annual truces were arranged
thereafter in 1839, 1840, 1841 and 184?.; but on the expiration of
e Truce of 1840 a slight interval occurred, by which the Shaikh of
arjah prolited to make a naval attack on the Shaikh of Umm-al-
The establishment of permanent peace at sea having been proposed
by Shaikh Sultan-bin-Saqar in 1837, the attention of the Bombay Gov
ernment was directed to the question; and, in 1841, they expressed a wish
at a truce for more than a year might, if possible, be arranged.
ough the Shaikhs as a whole were not adverse to a lengthened truce,
considerable doubt was felt by Captain Hennell, the Resident, as to the
expe lencj of any change; he feared that a prolonged or permanent
mariUme truce would impose an intolerable strain on the propensities
o the Arabs to wrong-doing and retaliation, and might so lead to a
reakdown of the whole trucial system; and he foresaw that it would

It was also apprehended that the difficulty and responsibility of settling
by peaceful means quarrels that would ordinarily be decided by the

men as guarantor of the truce, might prove excessive. In the end the

Coronary atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, and high serum cholesterol is a major factor in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Cholesterol and triglycerides circulate in the bloodstream as part of lipoprotein complexes which can be separated into HDL (high-density lipoprotein), IDL (intermediate-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), and VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) fractions. Increased levels of total cholesterol (total-C) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) are associated with atherosclerosis and development of cardiovascular disease, while increased levels of HDL-C decrease cardiovascular risk.
Patients with a risk of coronary artery disease mortality can benefit from cholesterol reduction. Cholesterol levels can be reduced with diet, exercise and drugs, thus slowing the progression of atherosclerosis and reducing the risk of myocardial infarction. After 5 years, a 10% reduction in LDL-C results in a decrease in ischaemic heart disease of up to 50%. The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors ("statins") are a group of drugs that slow the progression of coronary artery disease and induce regression of atherosclerotic lesions in these patients. Mortality from coronary and non-coronary causes are both reduced. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors include lovastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin and cerivastatin.
Atorvastatin has been described as the most effective statin drug yet, reducing LDL cholesterol by up to 60% at its highest 80 mg dose, compared to simvastatin at 40%. Atorvastatin is a selective competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of sterols, including cholesterol. Atorvastatin is indicated in primary hypercholesterolemia and other lipid disorders. It is more potent on a milligram per milligram basis than other agents of the class. In clinical studies, atorvastatin provided significantly greater reductions of LDL-cholesterol at its starting dose of 10 mg per day than once-daily doses of simvastatin 10 mg, pravastatin 10 and 20 mg, lovastatin 20 and 40 mg and fluvastatin 20 and 40 mg. Atorvastatin is well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to simvastatin. Adverse reactions are usually mild and transient.
Statins are one of the fastest growing drug categories in the market today and are the most-prescribed class of cholesterol-lowering agents. According to IMS, statins accounted for 87.9% of the cholesterol and triglyceride market in 1999, up from the 1998 figure of 87.1%. IMS data involving 13 leading countries worldwide showed that among pharma products, the atorvastatin brand Lipitor had climbed to fourth place in January 1999 and was likely to overtake the third placed product, Prozac (fluoxetine) soon. Further growth is expected since only a third of the patients who are candidates for these drugs in the U.S. actually take them, and in a developing country like India, this figure will be even less. In the coming years, more patients will be diagnosed with high levels of cholesterol through better screening, and lipid-lowering therapy will be employed more aggressively. The total market for statins in India is Rs 49 crore and is growing at 81 per cent (ORG MAT March 2000). Presently, simvastatin is the leading molecule, but in the short time since its launch, atorvastatin sales have amounted to Rs 5.2 crore.
With an estimated 45 million patients suffering from coronary artery disease in India and the number expected to increase over the next 20 years, it is apparent that the statins such as atorvastatin will play an important role in controlling morbidity and mortality.

Grandparents Mark and Amanda Gibbon together have lost nearly 11½st and added decades to their lives after overhauling their eating habits and taking up walking. Now the pair have started up a walking group to help their fellow slimmers build up their steps to get active too and been named Slimming World's Couple of the Year 2017.
Their achievement comes just days after new NHS figures found that a quarter of people are so sedentary that they don't even manage a 30 minute walk once a week.*
Mark and Amanda Gibbon, from Chepstow in Monmouthshire, embarked on their weight-loss journey after they were both left red-faced by a couple of unpleasant experiences. Mark was mortified at being forced to ask for a seatbelt extension on a plane and Amanda was in tears after an incident in a changing room.
Just eight months later they've dropped 11st 5lbs between them to win the national slimming title and Mark's doctor has told him he's added 20 years to his life.
Fifty-three-year-old Mark has lost 7st 11½lbs, going from 20st 10½lbs to 12st 13lbs, and dropped 14 inches from his waist. He says: "It was beyond embarrassing having to ask for a seatbelt extension, you just know all eyes are on you and can almost hear people whispering 'look, he needs a seatbelt extension'. And the worst thing is that you know you're going to have to ask for one on the way back too.
"Meanwhile, Amanda hated shopping and on one occasion ended up fleeing a changing room in floods of tears because she couldn't find anything to fit and hated seeing herself from every angle in the mirror. It was things like that that made us think that something really needed to change."
The couple, who have three children and two grandchildren between them, say they've always struggled with their weight and have tried endless diets in bids to bring it under control, including juice diets, calorie counting and low-carb plans.
After both of their embarrassing incidents, Mark and Amanda knew they had to take action and joined Slimming World on the recommendation of their daughter Rachel, 29.
Mark says: "It was never supposed to be my weight-loss journey, I was going to follow the plan at home to support Amanda and that was it. I thought a Slimming World group would be a roomful of ladies and didn't think that would suit me because of that, but little did I know how inspirational those ladies would be! Our group is like a family to us now."
Amanda, 46, says: "I told Mark I needed him to come in with me and the rest is history."
Since walking through the doors of their local Chepstow Slimming World group last July they've completely transformed their diet thanks to the Food Optimising eating plan, which allows members to satisfy their appetite on healthy, filling foods like fruit and veg, pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat, fish and more with no weighing, counting or measuring.
Amanda, who has lost 3st 10lbs, going from 13st 8½lbs to 9st 12½lbs and dropped from a size 18 to a 10, says: "We've learned how to cook from scratch and experiment with flavours – we often joke that we didn't know what a butternut squash or courgette was before Slimming World! The biggest change we made was starting to plan our meals though. Now we sit down on a Sunday and make a weekly menu and whatever happens in the week we know what we're eating, some of our favourites now are paella and lamb with stir fried veg. Eating this way is just natural to us now and it's so easy."
Life is just amazing now. We're healthier – Mark's doctor told him that he's probably added 20 years to his life.
As well as changing their eating habits, Mark and Amanda decided to try becoming more active too. They now enjoy running and have started their own walking group with some members of their Slimming World group. Amanda says: "Lots of people were reluctant to do any exercise because they thought they had to join a gym or start jogging and they found that far too intimidating. At our Slimming World group we talk about starting slowly when it comes to getting moving and building up until regular activity is a habit, and the walking group shows people just how beneficial that can be. We go out once a fortnight and now there's loads of us – everyone's welcome – and it's great fun."Mark and Amanda's relatives have joined them on their weight loss campaign. They've inspired nine members of their family to slim down and as a family they've lost a total of 24st 9lbs between them. Their health has also improved with Mark's GP telling him his blood pressure has reduced dramatically thanks to his weight loss.
Amanda says: "Life is just amazing now. We're healthier – Mark's doctor told him that he's probably added 20 years to his life – and so much fitter. We love running around after our grandchildren instead of being 'Nan and Bamp' who just sit in the chair or puff and pant after just five minutes of playing.
"This isn't a diet, it's a way of life for us now and we're not going to let go of everything that we've gained thanks to Slimming World. We always tell people: the hardest part is walking through the doors, the rest is easy."

Slimming World was founded by Margaret Miles-Bramwell (OBE, FRSA) in 1969. There are now more than 18,000 groups held weekly across the UK and Republic of Ireland via a network of 4,000 community-based Slimming World Consultants, who receive specific training in the role of diet and physical activity in weight management, as well as sophisticated behaviour-change techniques.
Slimming World's healthy eating plan, Food Optimising, is based on the science of satiety and energy density. Our phased activity programme, Body Magic, eases members into activity until it becomes an intrinsic part of their daily routine. The principles behind Slimming World's philosophy are based on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by overweight people and a recognition that those who struggle with weight carry a double burden, the weight itself and a burden of guilt and shame about their weight. Slimming World's programme integrates practical, up-to-date advice with a highly developed support system based on care and compassion, and Consultant training focuses on facilitating behaviour change in a warm and friendly group environment. Consultant training is delivered through the Slimming World Academy. Slimming World also invests in a comprehensive research programme to develop its support for long-term weight management. The group support provided by Slimming World is recognised as effective by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the NHS.

LONGMONT -- Boulder County Republicans added three Longmont residents Saturday to the GOP's partial ticket of candidates seeking county government and state legislative seats up for election this year.
County Republican Assembly delegates named businesswoman Maureen Denig to be their candidate in the contest for the District 2 seat on the Board of County Commissioners -- setting up a face-off with incumbent Commissioner Deb Gardner, a Longmont Democrat.
Charles "Russ" Lyman, a Longmont resident who works as a network engineer at Level 3 Communications in Broomfield, volunteered to be the GOP candidate for Colorado House District 12, which represents Louisville, Lafayette and parts of Longmont. Democrats Mike Foote of Lafayette and Angie Layton of Louisville will be competing in their party's June primary election for that seat.
Charles J. Plagainos, an ethics consultant, was chosen to be the Republican candidate for eastern Boulder County's Senate District 17, a seat also being sought by Louisville Democrat Matt Jones, who currently represents House District 12 in the Legislature.
Saturday's Boulder County Republican Assembly participants did not, however, advance any GOP candidates to challenge the re-election bids of Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett, a Boulder Democrat; state Sen. Rollie Heath, a Boulder Democrat who represents Senate District 18; and state Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, a Gunbarrel Democrat who represents House District 10.
Nor in their Saturday meeting at Longmont's Plaza Conference Center did the Republicans put up a candidate for the District 1 seat on the Board of County Commissioners, a post currently being sought by three Democrats: Elise Jones, Garry Sanfacon and Rich Lopez.
Denig, president of Travel Now Inc., a travel agency she operates out of her home, told Saturday's assembly-goers of her objections to Boulder County's current practices of buying and selling open space.
She said she's watched the county pay far more than the land is worth and then re-sell some of those open-space parcels for half of what they're worth. She also criticized the county for not allowing people to actually use much of the open space it has bought with tax-paid funds, a situation she said means that "we have public parks, but no public access" to them.
On that and other issues, Denig told her Republican County Assembly audience, "let's return Boulder County to the people. Let's demand accountability."
Lyman said in a brief interview that he decided to enter the House District 12 race because of his frustration with government at all levels with lawmakers "on both sides of the aisle" -- Republicans, as well as Democrats -- who are unwilling to change the status-quo way of doing things.
Senate District 17 candidate Plagainos told the crowd: "I believe the Democrats have dropped the ball in this state. It's time for us to take up the ball, play the game, and win."
Saturday's assembly-goers also heard from another recently minted Republican candidate -- Adam Ochs, a Clear Creek County resident who's running for the multiple-county House District 13 seat now held by Boulder Democratic Rep. Claire Levy, who's seeking re-election. Republican delegates from the counties represented by that House district are expected to endorse Ochs' bid, in a separate House 13 GOP assembly next month.
Ochs, who opens an independent accounting and informational technology contracting firm, called for "reining in the power that government has over our lives."
Republican Assembly speeches weren't limited to people seeking state legislative or county office. U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, the Yuma Republican who's running for re-election in the 4th Congressional District that includes Longmont, drew cheers from the Boulder County crowd when Gardner said of President Barack Obama: "They say the road to the White House comes through Colorado. I hope he meets us."
Also delivering short campaign speeches were the three Republicans vying for spots on the GOP's June primary election ballot in their competition to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, in next November's general election -- Kevin Lundberg, Eric Weissmann and Tom Janich.
Republicans' goal of replacing Obama with a GOP president was a subtext at Saturday's assembly. Bob Beauprez, a onetime congressman who represented a metro Denver-area district but returned to the Lafayette area after leaving that post, said Obama is "the worst American president ever and badly needs to be defeated."

In business, growth is the name of the game—either a company stays in the middle, or strives to make it to the top. Over the last few months, Charles Phillips has led Infor through a series of collaborations that marked the ERP vendor's expansion of its already vast portfolio—a good development for both the company and its customers.

Infor may have been among the top of the industry per se, but for some analysts, it was its acquisition of HCM leader Lawson Software that effectively sealed its place as a true ERP vendor elite. Indeed, making good use of Lawson's technology, Infor created Infor HCM, a software suite that is counted among the best to date. With its best-in-class applications and tools, it parallels employees' work with a company's business strategies and goals. But Charles Phillips was just getting started.
Charles Phillips, as Oracle's President, used his expertise and knowledge of the market to lead the company's mergers & acquisitions strategy.

To mark Infor's commitment to help its customers get the most out of their software investment, the company organized Inforum 2012. The hype over the event had hardly abated when Infor announced its partnership with cloud computing leader Salesforce.com to create Inforce. The new suite will combine Infor's ERP and financing applications with Salesforce.com's sales and services tools, creating a powerful enterprise solution geared for effective customer relationship management.
Infor recently announced its partnership with systems integrator TriNET in marketing, implementing, training, and providing professional services for Infor10 ERP Enterprise. This will enable TriNET to work as an extension of Infor Consulting Services or ICS.
"In addition to its recently launched portfolio of truly innovative solutions, we were impressed with Infor's new partner program. We welcome the opportunity to support Infor in its growth ambitions for North America and look forward to expanding our long-term and fruitful partnership," said Dill Sanghera, TriNET's President and CEO.

Most families in Colonial America relied on their own resources or local healers and herbalists rather than professional physicians. Domestic medicine was preferred to imported drugs, which were either un- available or expensive. Those who wanted to avoid doctors, or had no access to healers, depended on traditional remedies, popular herbals, and self-help books for information on how to maintain health and deal with illness and injuries. For example, Every Man His Own Doctor: or, the Poor Planter's Physician (1734) was written anonymously by John Tennent (ca. 1700–1760), a Virginia physician, who denounced other doctors for their exorbitant fees and for prescribing remedies that were as bad as the disease. Despite the attacks of fellow physicians, he offered advice, not for those who could afford ''learned Advice,'' but for the poor, who needed to find the ''cheapest and easiest ways of getting well again.'' The mashes and swamps of Virginia, he warned, generated many fevers, coughs, quinsies, pleurisies, consumptions, and other plagues. In addition to descriptions of the symptoms of each disease, Tennent provided advice on diet, prevention, and medicines. Some of his suggestions for preventing sore throat and similar disorders were as simple as washing the neck and behind the ears in cold water every morning, but other conditions required bleeding, blistering, poultices, syrup of peach blossoms, or even pills made of turpentine and ''Deers Dung.'' Because the book was written for those who could not afford to ''dye by the Hand of a Doctor,'' Tennent deliberately avoided refer- ences to mercury, opium, and Peruvian bark. Many books offered advice to mothers about the health of their family and the physical and mental development of their children. Catharine Beecher (1800–1878), founder of the Hartford Female Semi- nary, advocated exercise and dress reform based on the science of physiology.
The curriculum at Hartford Female Seminary included calisthenics and physical education. In Suggestions Respecting Improve- ments in Education (1829), Beecher insisted that the health and well being of children depended on teaching women about anatomy and physiology so that they would understand how diet, air, exercise, and modes of dress affect the body and promote good health. ''The resto- ration of health is the physician's profession,'' Beecher explained, but preserving the health of children was primarily the responsibility of women. By the end of the twentieth century, prestigious healthcare insti- tutions and professional organizations were meeting the growing demand for domestic medical guides. Such texts include The American Medical Association Family Medical Guide, Mayo Clinic Family Health Book, Johns Hopkins Family Health Book, Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide, American College of Physicians Complete Home Medical Guide, and The Merck Manual of Medical Information: Home Edition. In contrast to Tennent's 70-page pamphlet, modern guides to domestic medicine may approach 2,000 pages of advice on acute and chronic diseases, drugs, alternative medicine, medicinal herbs and nutraceuticals, diseases of unknown origin, death and dying, nutrition, and popular weight-loss diets. Eighteenth-century Americans were actively involved in all aspects of medical practice, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By the onset of the Civil War, the influence of medical experts, whether orthodox or sectarian, on the management of disease was increasing. That is, prac- titioners were claiming professional privilege and expertise in the treat- ment of disease and warning potential patients and caregivers to defer to professionals. Many orthodox physicians believed that the widespread dissemination of information about diagnosing and treating disease increased the production and influence of competitors, such as Thomso- nians, health reformers, homeopaths, and hydropaths. When writing health texts for laymen, regular physicians provided general guidance, but insisted that the management of disease required a well-qualified physician. The role of the patient was reduced to calling for a doctor and carefully following his advice. As sectarian practice became more organized and professional, they too advised patients to call for the expert.

The conference
- Why should I attend the re:publica?
Because you are going to love it here! Everyone who is part of the digital society and is interacting with it meets at re:publica. Here you will find bloggers, social media addicts, designers, and managers, as well as entrepreneurs – all of them being open-minded and creative people.
- So what's happening during the re:publica?
Tons of awesome stuff! Here you can find the schedule of talks, panels, screenings, special events, and parties. And there's also a list with all of our speakers.
Furthermore you meet sweet people, expand your network offline while having a great time together and discussing every aspect of living in a digital society and all the changes that it entails.
- When will the re:publica take place?
The conference will take place from April 13th to 15th 2011 and lasts full 3 days.
- And where will the re:publica take place?
The re:publica is hosted in 3 venues in Berlin-Mitte. Kalkscheune, FriedrichstadtPalast, and Quatsch Comedy Club are all centrally located and close-by which makes it really easy to change between the different locations and see as many events as possible. Here you can find a complete site plan.
- What if I wanted to present my own talk at the re:publica?
In that case it's unfortunately already too late to participate in our Call for Papers.
The tickets
- Yay, I want to come! Where do I get my ticket for the conference?
You can order yours at Amiando. But oh noes: All tickets at regular rate are sold out now!
- How much does a conference pass for re:publica cost?
The only 3 day pass that you can purchase now is a Premium Supporter Ticket which will cost you 399,- €. Here you can find out what this special ticket entails.
- Will you sell day passes as well?
Yes, you will be able to buy day passes on the spot. The box office is located in the foyer at FriedrichstadtPalast at one of the cloak rooms. However, please note that such a ticket gives you access to the events at FriedrichstadtPalast only. For Wednesday and Thursday the day passes will cost you 20,- €, whereas for Friday you have to pay 10,- €. In order to make planning a little easier for you though, you can buy day passes in advance via Amiando as well. Here they cost 25,- € for Wednesday and Thursday each, and 15,- € for Friday.
- I bought a blogger ticket for a special price, so how do I prove that I am actually one of those bloggers?
In case you purchased one of the blogger tickets all we ask you to do is to promote the re:publica on your blog. You can find our fancy banners here.
- Do I have to print out the ticket which I bought online?
Absolutely! This is required in order to ensure a trouble-free accreditation.
- Okay, now that I got my ticket what does this give me access to?
When you arrive and show your ticket at the lobby of the FriedrichstadtPalast you will get a wristband and a pass with your name on it. This gives you access to every single event at Kalkscheune, FriedrichstadtPalast, and Quatsch Comedy Club during all of the 3 days of re:publica. For smaller events such as talks and workshops we recommend showing up early to ensure a seat. Due to safety reasons we are not allowed to surpass a certain number of attendees in these rooms which means that there will be no entrance if we have reached that number
- I want to return my ticket, what should I do now?
In that case we would like to point out our cancellation policy:
According to i.S.d. §§ 312 d. Abs. 1, 355 Abs. 1 BGB customers can withdraw from purchasing their ticket within a period of 14 days by stating this in text form (e.g. via mail, fax or email) without any further clarification of their reasons or by giving the ticket back in case this has already been handed over.
The cancellation period of 14 days starts once you bought your ticket.
Please send the withdrawal to:
newthinking communications GmbH
Schönhauser Allee 6/7
10119 Berlin
Fax +49.30.69 20 33 799
And this happens when you withdraw from your purchase:
In case of withdrawal you have to return your conference pass. Please note that you have to bear the costs of a 15,- € cancellation fee as well. This fee will be deducted from the buying price. If you exceed the deadline of 14 days the organizer allows you to transfer your ticket to another person and the following point explains how this works.
- Darn! I can't make it and now I would like to transfer my ticket to someone else. What do I have to do?
No problem. If you want to sell your ticket or even give it away to another person you just have to send us a short e-mail to email@example.com that contains the name of the original attendee and their mail address as well as the name of the new attendee plus their mail address, the reference number of the ticket and the number of tickets purchased. Then we will take care of the rest.
Please note that this has only been possible until April 6th and that we don't transfer any money. So in case your ticket is not supposed to be a gift please sort this out with the person that you are giving the ticket to.
If you are giving your ticket away after April 6th, we cannot help with the name change anymore. Hence you will of course be allowed to sell it to someone else but the ticket as well as the badge will still be on your name instead of theirs. For the accreditation they will get blank bagdes from us though and can write their names on them by hand.
The event locations
- Which would be the best way to get to you by public transport?
Since Kalkscheune, FriedrichstadtPalast, and Quatsch Comedy Club are all centrally located around Friedrichstraße 107 in Berlin-Mitte you have plenty of options to get here by public transport:
- U-Bahn/Subway: U6, U-Bahnhof Oranienburger Tor
- S-Bahn/City train: S1, S2, S5, S7, S9 or commuter train, stop Friedrichstraße, 5 minutes walk from there; S1, S2, Haltestelle Oranienburger Straße, 5 minutes walk from there
- Bus: 147, stop Oranienburger Tor
- Tram: M1, 12, stop Oranienburger Tor
- What are the opening hours at FriedrichstadtPalast, Kalkscheune or Quatsch Comedy Club?
This is our plan:
Wednesday, April 13th
· FriedrichstadtPalast: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
· Kalkscheune: 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
· Quatsch Comedy Club: 1:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Thursday, April 14th
· FriedrichstadtPalast: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

· Thursday, April 14th: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

At Kalkscheune
· Friday, April 15th: 1:30 p.m. – 1.00 a.m.
- In case I drive my car to the venue were do I park it?
Right next to the Kalkscheune there is a parking area which requires a fee. Apart from that parking spaces are pretty rare in Berlin-Mitte and therefore we generally recommend using the public transport anyway.
- Are the venues handicap-accessible?
Unfortunately only the Friedrichstadtpalast is accessible for wheelchair users. In order to make your stay as unproblematic as possible please send a short email to firstname.lastname@example.com after you have bought your ticket, to let us know that you are attending the conference.
The general questions
- Do you also have a mobile version of this pretty website?
Of course, take a look at it here.
- Where can I get a press accreditation?
Please use this contact form.
- Are there volunteer opportunities to help at the re:publica?
Yes, we always welcome volunteers to help out! However, this year the list of volunteers is already full after so many of you offered their help.
- Will you provide WiFi at the venues?
Believe it or not: Yes, of course!
- I have to stay at home but is there any chance that I can follow re:publica via live stream?
Yes, there is! Although this year we will only broadcast the events from Friedrichstadtpalast live. You will find the live stream on our website just in time for the conference.
Additionally we will record all the events at Kalkscheune's big hall and Quatsch Comedy Club. So eventually after re:publica is over you will be able to watch the recorded sessions from Friedrichstadtpalast as well as those from Kalkscheune and QCC online.
- Does my attendance at the re:publica count as professional development?
Unfortunately not.
- What's the weather like in Berlin in mid April?
So far re:publica attendees have often been lucky and experienced the first nice days of spring. However, you should still bring a warm jacket and keep an eye on the weather report since we can't take care of everything.
- How can I get in touch with you if my questions have been still left unanswered here?
In that case you can always use our contact form. We are certainly trying to respond to every inquiry as quickly as possible. But bear with us if it takes a bit longer than expected.

South Korea's spy agency is said to have warned that North Korea could be planning a "terrorist attack" against the South.
A South Korean lawmaker who was briefed by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in Seoul told CNN that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is believed to have given the order to launch such attack.
"North Korea's terrorist attack could be in the form of causing harm to anti-North Korean activists, North Korean defectors or government officials," Saenuri Party member Lee Chul-woo was quoted as saying.
The NIS warning covered a large number of possible targets, including "subways, shopping malls, exhibition centers, power plants" as well as possible cyber attacks, according to the report.
Seoul recently vowed to take "bone-numbing" measures against Pyongyang following the latter's nuclear test last month and a satellite launch this month, CNN noted.
South Korea decided to shut down its final symbol of cooperation with the North last week, the Kaesong Industrial Complex, which lies on the North's side of the border.
In response, North Korea expelled all South Korean workers, seized property and assets and cut key lines of communication with the South.

MARLOWE, W.Va. - A Hagerstown man died early Saturday after he drove the wrong direction on Interstate 81 and collided with a tour bus, injuring 10 people.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Department identified the dead man as Bart Jason Wingerd, 27, an area high school and college baseball standout.
Wingerd was driving his 1987 Honda Prelude south in the northbound lanes of I-81 near Marlowe, when he crashed head-on into the tour bus at 2:37 a.m., said Sgt. Cheryl Keller of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department.
The accident occurred about a quarter-mile north of the Marlowe exit, Keller said.
The bus was carrying 34 people, mostly from Martinsville, Va., to a church conference in White Plains, N.Y., Keller said.
Ten people were taken to City Hospital in Martinsburg for treatment of minor injuries, Keller said. All were released.
An autopsy will be performed on Wingerd as part of the investigation to determine the cause of the accident, Keller said.

We lost our game against Geneiva (SP?)! We couldn't get a pass. All of them were either behind the ten foot line or way to tight against the net. We just didn't play well as a team. The most kills was a tie between Amanda karan and myself, 4 each, for all 3 games. I did do well blocking though today, I got at least 10. I also got this weeks griffin athlete of the week.

The Blue Yeti microphone has 4 recording modes to suit needs on sound source and purpose of recording. Yeti is a condenser based microphone ideal for studio recordings.
May not be perfect fit to transport while recording outdoors because of its size( 12 inch tall, diameter 3 inches) & weight ( one and a half kg) including stand.
Captures very little ambient noise when recording single person podcast or interview. Ideal for YouTube video creators who shoot indoor, yeti comes with 2 year warranty. Overall good value for money.
After i bought Blue Yeti USB Microphone in January 2015 i realized the difference it created to my recordings. I am listing down every reason that makes me believe that Blue Yeti USB microphone is the best value for money.
Blue Yeti is condenser based microphone, which makes it ideal for studio recordings. It has 4 recording modes that suits almost every aspect of voice recording.
Let's talk about each aspect of the Microphone:
Body: Microphone has a solid mesh on the top, Stand has rubber grooves at the bottom that provide is firmness on the table. Both stand and microphone make up a weight of one and a half kilograms.
Screws at the corner make it easy to bend the microphone, one may loosen the screws to put it on stand. You may buy radius, which is Yeti's custom shock mount sold separately.
Inside the box: Apart from microphone you also get a 3 meter long USB cable, I find the quality of the cable to be good. One end of the cable gets into microphone and other end into the USB port of desktop or laptop.
Getting started: Yeti is plug and play – no separate settings are required, no drivers to be installed. Simply load your recording software, Plug USB cable and get going on recording.
Front of the microphone has Yeti logo, Mute button ( Red light blinks in mute mode) and volume knob. This volume knob is to hear your own voice using headphone, useful to monitor latency.
Back of the microphone: Gain control knob – Ideally keep this centered, you may increase or reduce it depending upon the desired level of sensitivity.
Pattern selector knob: This is the most important function, it's important to select the right mode basis your recording need.
Below the microphone: You have standard thread mount there, if you want to mount it on mic stand. Besides that is the headphone jack and usb port.
Buy Blue Yeti Microphone
Getting good understanding of each of the recording mode will help both a new user and an existing user. Let's talk about each of these 4 modes.
- Stereo: Ideal for recording vocals, choir or instruments. If sound source is towards the center then equal amounts of sound will be heard from both channels. If you need greater amount of sound from left or right side then move the sound source towards that direction.
If you wish to record from one direction only or from all directions, then choose from other modes.
- Cardioid: This is the most used mode of Yeti, Many YouTube video creators use it. This mode records sound only from front of the mic, very little sound is captured from other 3 sides. I use this mode to record tutorials. It is ideal for one person podcast, Voiceover or for recording vocals.
This mode picks up very little background or ambient sound.
- Omnidirectional: As the name suggests- sound gets recorded from all directions. This mode is ideal for recording choir performance, band performance, group meetings,or conference calls. Any reason you may find microphone to be placed in the center and sound source is coming from all directions.
This mode picks up ambient sound.
- Bidirectional mode: This mode picks up sound from front and rear of the microphone, while sound from the sides is rejected. This works best for recording interviews, two people podcast, vocal duets or any other reason where recording source is opposite to each other.
This mode picks up some background noise but less than omnidirectional mode.
Tips to get best out of Blue Yeti:
- Distance between microphone and recording source: I will suggest you to keep it between 7 to 10 inches.
- Speaking direction: It records from a direction perpendicular to the source. If you face the top of the microphone to the source, you are certainly doing that wrong.
- Selecting the right mode: Test the recording output basis the need, like for recording tutorials cardioid is the mode to go for.
- Portable sound booth: This definitely helps remove extra noise and get better results even at your small office or home office, You may buy one for your Blue Yeti.
Blue Yeti comes with a 2 year warranty, so keep the invoice saved with you.
I wish you good recording success with Blue Yeti, should you still have any doubts about how to best use it or some clarity in the features is sought. Please feel free to write back to me, i will be more than happy to help.

Joanne Mills thought her friend Angie was joking when she suddenly revealed she had killed her missing husband and buried him in the backyard, a Victorian court heard.
"When she said it, she was looking at me to gauge my opinion with a smirk on her face," Ms Mills recalled during her testimony at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday.
"I actually said, 'That would be a bloody stupid thing to do because that would be the first place (the police) would look'."
Angela Williams, 44, of St Leonards, near Geelong, is charged with murdering Douglas Kally with a pickaxe in the bedroom of the home they shared with their two children.
Police allege Williams killed Mr Kally sometime in July 2008, then told concerned friends and family that he had run away to NSW.
Ms Mills told Williams' committal hearing that she dismissed her friend's alleged confession, which she said came around two years after Mr Kally's disappearance as the pair were sitting down to play cards.
"I didn't think Angie was capable of something like that," she said.
Ms Mills told court she did not tell police of the conversation until after they had unearthed Mr Kally's remains in the backyard of the Indented Head home last December.
Police allege Williams staged a telephone call from Mr Kally to her mobile in front of friends and family about a month after his disappearance.
She also bought a watch for their son, saying Mr Kally had posted it as a birthday present, police say.
The father of the accused, Ralph Williams, told court Mr Kally had physically abused his daughter throughout their 23-year relationship.
He said his daughter confessed to him that she had murdered Mr Kally and he advised her to go to police.
"Angie is my only remaining child," he said.
"What she did, she did to save her life."
Williams was charged with murder in December last year.
The committal hearing continues on Friday.

Beautiful as it is now, it's a wine you want to lay down. Best after 2017.

Deciphering the Differences Between Functional Storage Pieces
One of the most versatile pieces of furniture that we stock is the sideboard. No wait—maybe it's the buffet. So which is it? While the names of these pieces differ, they have one thing in common: they each provide extra storage in the home.
Today the names of these pieces are often used interchangeably, and no standard definition exists for either piece. The original function was to store utensils, serving dishes, linens, and so on—items related to dining. Some sources say that the names evolved depending on which room in the house the piece was located: if in the dining room, it was a buffet; if in the living room, a sideboard.
Food was often served on the top of the piece as well, so you can understand how the concept of "buffet" style restaurants sprang from this idea of serving yourself from a centralized location. If you're from the South, you probably remember Sunday dinners when you could sneak the last slice of sweet potato pie from the buffet while the rest of the family was lost in conversation.
These pieces are great multi-taskers, and we often sell them to clients who envision nonstandard uses for them. If you're downsizing to a smaller living space—or have a small living space to begin with—a sideboard can add visual interest and provide additional storage without taking up precious square footage. They make perfect entertainment centers, hiding away all the components, CDs, and DVDs while providing a sturdy flat surface for the flat screen. (In fact, next week we'll show you how one client repurposed her reclaimed teak piece into a cabinet for her vintage stereo equipment. Stay tuned!)
We like that our clients think creatively about these pieces, too. We've sold several to folks who have converted them into pieces for the bathroom by cutting holes into the top and inserting a sink; this same conversion technique makes the buffet work as wet bar, too, offering plenty of storage for glassware and spirits.
Do you have a good idea about making such a piece multifunction in your home? We offer three different styles of recycled teak pieces as we've shown throughout this post, and the honey buffet (pictured above) is just as versatile. Come by for a visit to see how these stylish yet hard-working pieces might improve your living space—and your life!
