en | N/A | N/A | Josephson tunneling is the tunneling of the Cooper pairs between two superconductors and the Josephson current directly relates to the superconducting pair wave function amplitude. In this thesis, we have developed the superconducting STM as a local Josephson probe and carried out direct measurements of the superconducting pair amplitude of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O 8+δ single crystals via the c-axis Josephson tunneling between Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ and a conventional superconducting STM tips of overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu 2O8+δ yield local values for the Josephson ICRN product, indicating an inhomogeneous structure of the ICRN product in overdoped Bi 2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ on a nanometer length scale. The corresponding energy gap, Δ, was also measured at the same locations and an unexpected inverse correlation is observed between the local ICRN product and the local energy gap Δ. Our interpretation of the ICR N vs. Δ relation with the phase fluctuation model for the phase diagram of high-TC superconducting cuprates will be presented.
A preliminary study of the high current density effect on the density of states of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ will also be reported.
The effect of cleaving the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O 8+δ surface on its electronic structure is also discussed. This is motivated by the question that the gap inhomogeneity observed by STM is intrinsic property of this material or induced by the cleaving. Since the superconducting tunneling probes the depth of a coherence length into the sample surface and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O 8+δ has a very short c-axis coherence length, it’s important to address this question. I will present some preliminary results of the superconducting STM studies on chemically etched Bi2Sr 2CaCu2O8+δ. |

en | N/A | N/A | One Screw In A Stud Hold is useful to you.
Choosing the right soccer cleats can play a major role in your performance on the field. There are many different cleats to choose from these days and it’s not an easy decision. There are so many expensive options that make choosing the right cleats a difficult process, so this guide was created to help you understand how to choose the best cleats for your situation!
Before looking at the options, you need to decide what you want to use for a pair of cleats. Cleat prices can range from $30 to over $200More expensive options offer better technology and are made with better materials that can only help your game.
There are different types of cleats, for different surfaces. The button on the bottom varies depending on the type of surface. If you spend most of your time playing on harder surfaces, then hard ground cleats are perfect for you. If it rains heavily where you play, chances are the pitch is not hard and longer cleats or six cleats are what you need to look for. If you play on all types of surfaces, you may want to consider interchangeable cleats, which allow you to change to any type of field. If it’s affordable, many people have a pair of studded (screw-in) cleats and treads for harder surfaces. Don’t buy shoes based on looks, if they don’t match your criteria!
The next part of this process is to consider the weight of the cleat. With lighter shoes, you will only increase your speed. Unfortunately, it won’t make a big difference but if you carry a lighter weight, the faster you can move.
Choosing the right ingredients is a big part of this process. As a football player, I always choose genuine Kangaroo Leather. Many companies turn to synthetic materials, as animal groups protest. Nike, Adidas and Puma all make synthetic options that resemble real leather. The better synthetic shoes available have gotten rave reviews over the past few years. Remember, this is only for higher synthetic shoes. The cheaper ones will be like plastic, because they are made of cheaper materials. In my opinion, Kangaroo Leather is still the way to go because it will mold to your feet and feel like a sandal.
Depending on how often you use the cleats, the lifespan will vary. I have had the cleats for 6 months which are too high! I was playing 5 days a week and didn’t bother to take care of them either. If the skin continues to rise, just keep your eye on the button. After the stud wears down, it’s time for a new pair. Screw in studs will last longer and you can buy new studs.
Now they make different shoes for different positions, but don’t think too much about it. The options are different shoes for better shots or better ball control. At the end of the day, if you don’t have a good shot or ball control, you have to work on it in practice!
Like I said,huge selection online, but I always recommend trying on the first boot since every player’s foot is different. The best deals can always be found online. Good morningOne Screw In A StudOne Screw In A Stud! |

en | N/A | N/A | Prime Factorisation is finding the prime numbers which form the product i.e. a particular numbe
In the above example, we saw that 90 is a product of multiplication between the prime numbers – 2, 3 and 5. Hence, finding 2, 3, and 5 as the numbers responsible for the product number 90 is known as prime factorization. This way of illustrating prime factorization is known as ‘factor tree’.
2. Let’s take some more examples to clarify the concept.
Let’s take the number 36.
We will begin the factorization with the lowest prime number 2.
36/2 = 18.
Since, 18 is an even number we will further divide 18 by 2, i.e.
18/2 = 9. Now, 9 is not divisible by 2, so we move on to the next prime number 3, and divide the number with 3, i.e.
Thus, the prime factorization of number 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
3. Let’s take the number 980i.e. 2.
490/2 = 245. Applying the divisibility rule of the next prime number i.e. 3, we get that 245 is not divisible by 3 and we move on to the next prime number 5.
49/7 = 7, and we stop here.
Solve the following questions to practice and clarify the concept.

en | N/A | N/A | What happens once you make your millions?
Estate planning gives the wealthy a chance to pass on their wealth to someone else. The rich can set up special trust funds for their children, wills to ensure that the money goes where they want it to go, and powers of attorney so that someone can take over their affairs if they can't. Estate planning makes sure that everything stays just the way they want it to when they go to that great Golf Club In The Sky.
en if you have lots of money and won't have to worry about retirement, putting money aside into a retirement account can help you avoid those pesky taxes.
Just like trying to keep off the pounds, you'hold on to your wealth.
Spend the right amount.
This doesn't necessarily mean spending less—although it can. If you're living on a trust fund, not overspending is important. If you're still in the process of making money, you want to be spending enough so that taxes don't catch up with you. For example, you may want to invest in companies or start building your own company so that you have deductibles that you can claim.
Back in 1776, if you were rich and you wanted to leave your money to your kids, there were no problems like wealth transfer taxes and estate taxes to worry about. A lot of the money was in land, and there wasn't a lot of cash flow anyway if you weren't paying your field hands at your farm much (which you weren't).
If you want to stay wealthy, you're probably going to have to hustle. With stocks and real estate less stable than they were in the past and inflation still going full steam ahead, that money won't go as far as you hope. Even the rich head out there and work to make more bucks. Of course, for them, that might mean signing for another $20 million movie, but you get the idea.
Once you get rich, the journey's not over. You're still going to have to think about planning ahead and making the most of your cash. The good news: you can hire someone to help you, and you'll be able to afford a nice condo and soft leather couch to sit on while you contemplate your millions. |
en | N/A | N/A | The Ontology of Computational Artifacts
Duncan, William Dupree
Increasingly, scientific research is conducted using computational artifacts, that is: hardware and software. To understand the results of such research, descriptions need to be provided of how these results were achieved, and such descriptions will need to document the computational artifacts used. In this dissertation, I provide a controlled structured vocabulary (an ontology) of computational artifacts to be used in such descriptions. The ontology is developed against a background of philosophical analysis of terms such as `hardware', `software', and `artifact', with the intention of creating an ontological framework that is both philosophically and logically robust and also able to be integrated with other ontologies designed to support scientific research. |

en | N/A | N/A | Being a child is sometimes tough. Nobody understands you often, you don’t know how to manage your communication better and, as a result, you have to throw a tantrum. On the other hand, being a parent is also tough, because you can’t always understand the needs of your child and what causes them to throw a tantrum (but they are often for no reason).
So, in order to avoid your child controlling you with their emotional outbursts, you should learn how to prevent such events and how to actually deal with them. So, let’s start.
First, you should give a lot of positive attention to your child. Catch them when they are doing something good and reward or praise them for such good deeds and positive behavior.
You want to As soon as your child shows positive behavior or does something good, make sure to praise or reward them.
Try and give your toddler a bit of control over small things. Offer them to choose between an apple or orange juice, or whether bath. Small independent decisions like that will make them feel on their own, which can prevent some tantrums.
Keep the objects you don’t want them to act out about out of sight and out of reach. This will make all the struggles less likely to occur.
Keep them distracted and take advantage of their short attention span. This can be easily done by offering something else in place of the thing they want but can’t have. Starting new activities to replace frustrations can also save you some trouble.
Prevention tactics are great, but they might not work well every time. That is why it is useful to know how to deal with toddler tantrums.
Just remember how many times you wanted to throw a tantrum because you felt cranky due to lack of food and sleep. This might just be the case with your toddler because food and sleep are everyone’s favorite. If you happen to notice a tantrum occurrence at the same time every day, some food and a short nap will really help. Offer them a snack or reschedule a lunch a bit and see what happens. You can also, try and let them watch some TV which will probably result in a quick nap.
Aggressive toddler tantrums: if your child is showing aggression towards you or others, or they are tring to destroy a toy or other objects, it might mean that they have ADHD or some other disruptive disorder. More specifically, if more than half of the tantrums include aggression, you might want to consider an evaluation.
Self-injurious tantrums: if your child is trying to injure themselves during a tantrum, it might mean that they have depression and you should visit the doctor. The most common red flags are scratching, head banging and biting, so keep an eye on your little one.
Frequent and prolonged tantrums: try and keep track of the outbursts at home, because they might be more frequent at home than in daycare. If they have more than a few a day, every day, then the problem might be clinical. Also, if the tantrum lasts more than 20 minutes on average, you should visit a professional. |

en | N/A | N/A | Vishuddha means to purify. Vishuddha chakra is located near the throat. It is the centre of purification. It is symbolized by a light blue coloured lotus with 16 petals. This & parathyroid glands. It governs the person’s communication, clairvoyance. Spoken words come from this chakra, giving voice to the emotions within the heart. In this chakra all the elements of the lower chakras i.e. earth, water, fire and air are refined to their purest essence and dissolved into akasha (ether).
Persons with weak Vishuddha chakra will have difficulty in expressing their ideas and may suffer from throat problems, hyperthyroidism, speech problems etc. Memory, ready wit, intuition are all related to this chakra. By meditating on this chakra, a person can get calmness, serenity, purity, command of speech and mantras etc.
The earth, the element of Mooladhara chakra, dissolves into water and remains in the second chakra as the essence of smell. Water of Swadhisthan chakra evaporates in the fiery Manipura chakra and remains as the essence of taste. The form of fire enters Anahata chakra and remains there as the essence of form and of vision. The air of Anahata chakra enters into Vishuddha chakra as akasha (ether) and becomes pure sound.
Akasha embodies the essence of all the five elements. It is without colour, smell, taste, touch, or form, free of any gross elements. The bija mantra is ‘HAM’.
‘Ajna’ means command or authority. This chakra is known as the third eye or Gyana chakra (eye of wisdom) or Bhrumadhya (eyebrow centre). It is also considered as Guru chakra, because through it the disciple in deeper states of meditation receives commands and guidance from his guru. This is also the chakra where one receives commands from the divine, higher self.
Ajna chakra is symbolized as a deep blue lotus with two petals. Ajna chakra is associated with the physical organs like pineal body, a tiny pea-sized gland within the beam, which has almost atrophied in the adult human being. On the psychic planet, this point is the bridge between physical, mental and psychic bodies. By concentrating on this chakra, a person can see his future in the psychic plane.
He may increase his concentration with power, memory, intelligence as these are all the powers of brain and Ajna chakra is associated with the brain. By awakening of this chakra, a person can also develop supernatural powers & super-mental capabilities like clairvoyance, telepathy, intuition and other abilities which are hidden potential of every person. Thought energy also has form. When the mind is elevated and made sensitive, it is possible to send this energy through Ajna chakra. The bija mantra is ‘AUM’.
Sahasra means thousand petalled. The highest chakra, Sahasra, is the abode of pure consciousness. Through this chakra, our physical body is connected to the cosmos. It is in connection with our universe. It is symbolized by a violet lotus of thousand petals with all the alphabets of Sanskrit on them. When Kundalini awakens, it ascends through all these charas to Sahasra and merges into space from where it came.
The person who meditates on Sahasra, becomes highly spiritual. He is above a normal human being and is the happiest person for he lives in thought-free, breath-free, desireless state and also leads a life without any expectations. Also the earthly pleasures and physical faculties do not bother him. He at this stage can be called as Satchjtananda (Sat-Chit-Ananda). |
en | N/A | N/A | In its last argument of the March calendar, the Supreme Court appeared disinclined to overturn the 1988 landmark decision in Basic Inc. v. Levinson. But certain Justices appeared open to additional requirements on plaintiffs to demonstrate reliance to obtain class certification.
In Basic, Justice Blackmun, writing for a four-Justice Court, held that a Rule 10b-5 securities class action can proceed based on a misrepresentation alleged to have affected the price of a stock without an individual showing of reliance. Instead, it is presumed that a misrepresentation affected the stock price in an efficient market.
In defense to a securities class action, Halliburton argued that Basic should be overruled. Halliburton’s argument was premised upon economic studies demonstrating that Basic was incorrect as a matter of economic theory. If Halliburton’s position were accepted, private securities class actions would be exceedingly difficult to bring, as individual questions of reliance would generally predominate over common issues.
But the Justices appeared opposed to overturning Basic. Individual Justices asserted that Basic was as much about common sense and practicality as economic theory. Certain Justices added that Congress had every opportunity to overrule Basic but chose not to. As Justice Scalia asserted, Congress passed at increased other requirements upon plaintiffs seeking to bring a securities class action but explicitly presumed Basic’s continued existence as a matter of law.
But certain Justices, particularly Justice Kennedy, appeared open to modifying Basic to require event studies to demonstrate reliance at the class certification stage, a position recommended in an amicus brief from two law professors. Justice Kennedy seemed particularly interested in the practical consequences this change would have upon current securities class action practice. Somets but a tolerable burden for class-action plaintiffs. |

Beautiful pictures. I bet those bridges get slippery.
Simply gorgeous, I absolutely agree. Sandy certainly has good taste!
Echoing your words all the way, Andrea.
Awesome pictures of bridges. They were built way back when the materials could not support any length of road/rail over distance. Each section had to be supported by crossing timbers all the way to the bottom. Such an amazing feat to build these with such an intricate geometrical pattern. And they’ve lasted so long.
Hi Paul, thanks for this great reminder about the art of bridge building.
Jean, thanks so much for featuring my bridge photos — now I just found one with the railroad bridge on the other side of town in the background. It was taken in the late 1920’s and in the foreground are a group of girls. One of them is my mother. I had forgotten I’d scanned this photo, so thanks for mentioning bridges, as otherwise it would have continued to be forgotten for a while. — Sandy
You’re more than welcome, Sandy. They are beautiful and I’m delighted that the whole idea sparked you into new discoveries.
Roy, I’m sure it would be pretty soul-destroying, especially if they felt an attachment to the bridges.
Talk about WOW-factor! |
en | N/A | N/A | Already solar powering your home is profitable both for your wallet and for the environment. Many homeowners still testify that the initial costs for installing panels are holding them back of buying, even though they know it will become viable in the long run.
Cheaper more efficient solar panels
But a company called Solar Bankers is on the verge of changing all that. Just now a new type of highly efficient silicon solar cell is being developed. The secret to this cell is its holographic foil. This newly patented technology will enable these new efficient solar panels to be nearly twice as effective as the standard panels people are putting up today. Practically skyrocketing the conversion rate of the suns rays into usable current from 17% to 28%. The most awesome part is that all of this will be made to a price that’s even lower then what we have on today’s market.
The key factor of these new solar cells is the holographic film laid on top of them. The film acts like a filtering magnifying glass giving the solar cell more of the light it wants. Meaning more light can be converted into usable electricity.
How does this new solar technology work?
Thinner panels
By filtering the sunlight as well as concentrating it the film only allows the best most useful of the daylight wavelengths to get through to the solar cell. In this manner overheating the solar cell is avoided. Overheating is otherwise a big source of energy loss when dealing with concentration.
Smaller price
The tiny lenses concentrate the useful wave lengths of the sunlight between 2000%-3000%. This in turn means that the amount of silicone needed to catch that light is diminished by 90%. Because of this the manufacturing costs plunge immensely. These efficient solar panels are so cheap and easy to make. Even if producing them in USA or German they still would be cheaper then the plain silicon modules made in china today.
This will result in the solar arrays finally ending up on citizens rooftops will only be half as large. So not only do we get to save on the solar panels themselves, because we are not going to need to buy as many of them, we also don’t have to pay as much for the manual work when they are being put up because the works only need to put up half the amount of panels of course.
An early prototype of the remarkable optical layer covering a solar cell showed by Alfred Joost
These revolutionary panels are sadly not on the market for you and me to buy just yet. The new technology is patented in America but Improvements are still being made. The holographic panel’s sun to electric conversation percentage is going to get even higher before the new modules finally hit the market. When the new modules are finished, Solar Bankers plan on putting up 300MW of them either in the States or in Germany. This in turn will create 500 new jobs, and a lot of green energy homes. So all we have to do now is to wait for these more efficient solar panels to be available in a store near you. |

What does it mean when a site wants to show notifications?
Notifications are a way for websites to have Windows pop-up messages even when you’re not actually visiting the website. They’re often referred to as “push” notifications because the messages are sent or “pushed” at you even if you’re doing something else. Most browsers require you to grant permission on a site-by-site basis in order for notifications to be allowed.
It’s generally safe, albeit annoying, to allow notifications. Notifications are simply messages displayed by Windows on request of the websites for which you’ve allowed notification. Most browsers let you selectons. Because it’s an opportunity for websites to engage with you even when you’re not actively visiting the site, it can be perceived as an annoyance when overused.

Yeah, it is…was an offer. I already receive it, so all I had to do was click on the big X on the left hand top corner. It’s sure NOT as annoying as those dang pop-ups, that I have now fixed, thanks to Leo!
I’m very grateful for your tip on how to stop those effin’ notifications, Leo resort to a Google search for help but I didn’t really know what keywords to use. Thanks.
Thank You,this is really Helpfull.
I’m not sure how that solves anything. The sites you then go to are the ones that are requesting the ability to notify you.
Generally I have the notification thing covered on my android tablet, but recently began using a website where its important not to have notifications blocked.

en | N/A | N/A | Summary. When fetuses and placentas were removed on Day 18 in normal pregnant rabbits, plasma progesterone levels declined rapidly to non-pregnant values within 48 h. This decline was largely prevented if only fetu, but not when the fetal components of the placentas were also removed. These results suggested that ovarian progesterone production was dependent upon trophic influences emanating from the fetal portions of the placentas. Ovarian progesterone production was maintained by an extract of rabbit pituitaries for at least 72 h after removal of fetuses and placentas.
Ovariectomized pregnant rabbits given sufficient progesterone maintained their pregnancies well but, after kindling, only a low percentage of young were found alive. Addition of oestradiol to the treatment regimen did not alter the effectiveness of progesterone in preventing abortion but increased the percentage of young found alive after parturition. The beneficial effect of oestrogen appeared to be related to a reduced incidence of prolonged pregnancies and prolonged labours, and suggested a rôle for oestrogen in the successful termination of pregnancy.
Summary. The metabolic clearance rate (MCR) and production rate (PR) of progesterone were measured in rhesus monkeys both before and during intravenous infusion of progesterone at rates which approximately doubled or tripled the peripheral plasma levels. The monkeys were normally pregnant or fetectomized and were studied during the second half of pregnancy. Raising the peripheral plasma levels did not significantly alter the MCR or the PR of progesterone. We conclude that peripheral progesterone levels are not the factor which controls the PR of progesterone in rhesus monkeys. |
en | N/A | N/A | The Pokemon Company announced in a Twitter thread that a new Pokemon will be arriving in Pokemon Sword and Shield. The game has been out for 3 months now and it is the first original title for the Nintendo Switch.
The new Pokemon is supposedly a Mythical Pokemon and it is not one we have seen yet in previous games or Sword and Shield. We have only been teased with a silhouette of the Pokemon. It appears to be a feline-like Pokemon with claws and paws for feet. It is still unclear if it's a regular size, Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon.
Further announcements will be made on 27 February which also happens to be Pokemon Day.
The Pokemon Company has created quite a bit of controversy by only releasing very few old Pokemon for Sword and Shield. But after they announced the new Expansion Pass for the game, it seems that not only will they be adding new regions but they will also be adding new Pokemon to the game.
Thanks to the Nintendo Switch's online features, there has been significant scaling for multiplayer and downloadable content for Pokemon games. So we can slowly expect the release of newer and older Pokemon and new regions as well.Published 19 Feb 2020, 19:50 IST |

It’s so cold outside in Kansas City…brrr! I try not to go outside in the cold air, but when I do, I can feel my face and lips cracking from the freezing air! So dry!
So, this week I’m loving products that will help my dry and chapped skin. I have been testing great skin care, lip balms and body products to help me for what I hope is not too cold a winter.

This anti-aging, hydrating cream has been shown to improve skin texture and tone in as little as 10 days. The M.M.C. Anti-Aging Moisture Complex is free of chemical dyes and contains key ingredients that detoxify, condition and renew the skin.
What I think: This is perfect for my recently dry skin from the cold air. I love using this as my night cream. I have noticed my skin is smoother and really soft in the morning.
Soap and Paper Factory Shea Lip Butter
What I think: Love these. They each smell amazing and are so moisturizing on the lips. Perfect for throwing in a purse or pocket for continued moisturization throughout the day.
Tammy Fender Essential C Tonic
What I think: Such an amazing natural toner. I love the fresh scent of this and the fact that it doesn’t dry out my skin at all. My skin is softer after using, which is rare from a toner. I highly recommend this product!

The natural ingredients Sweet Orange & Cedar produce a wonderfully warm aroma. Use the body scrub once or twice a week for a soft and glowing skin.

Korres Guava Lip Butter ($12 USD) — This beautifully scented, creamy body butter are enriched with shea butter and quince extract to soften, moisturize, and rejuvenate the skin. Sunflower, almond, and avocado oils nourish, thus helping to improve elasticity and smoothness.
What I think: Both of these products are highly moisturizing. The lip butter is not tinted which is perfect for everyday and every night use. It really softens my dry lips. The lotion is also really softening. I use it after showers and at night to keep my skin (I love using it on my legs) hydrated.

en | N/A | N/A | Chaffey Dam is located 43 km south-east of Tamworth on the Peel River, NSW, Australia. The dam provides water for irrigated agriculture, industry, flood mitigation and environmental flows.
Prior to the upgrade the dam could be described as a 54-m-high, 430-m-long clay cored rockfill embankment with a combined morning glory spillway and outlet works.

Stage 1 of the project was the construction of a 35-m auxiliary spillway with release plug which was completed in 2011.
Stage 2 and augmentation involved raising the dam wall by 8 m and raising the morning glory spillway bell mouth crest by 6.5 m.and Uny Australia The scope of works for the upgrade included: Firstly, the installation of a vertical Reinforced Earth® wall structure with an attached 1.8 m parapet wall on the crest of the existing earth and rockfill embankment to raise the dam wall by 8 m; and secondly to raise the water level by 6.5 m by duplicating the existing bell mouth crest of the morning glory spillway structure at a higher level.
RECO was contracted to design and supply 6950 m² of Reinforced Earth® back-to-back walls. In addition, on the top of the upstream wall is a 1.8-m-high parapet wall and at the base is an L-shaped wall with a handrail. This L-shaped walkway creates walkway access along the upstream of the wall.
RECO also designed and supplied a temporary Reinforced Earth® wire wall, which created a cranage platform from which the morning glory spillway bell mouth crest was raised. |

Ned Eichler had much to do with the success of Eichler Homes, helping develop the firm’s marketing strategies in the early 1950s, and its efficient system for buying materials in bulk and packaging them for delivery to job sites. But Ned, who died March 27 at age 83, did much more during a busy and productive life.
Ned also served as chairman of the California Housing Commission in the early 1960s.
A graduate of Dartmouth -- he always regretted not going to Columbia instead -- Ned served from 1952 to 1954 with the Signal Corps in France and Germany, much of the time playing golf, a sport at which he excelled.

I didn�t see many problems with the video aside from some grain here and there, and the audio is decent too, being presented in Dolby Digital mono (hopefully you didn�t expect anything glamorous for a show THIS old). Sometimes the audio was a bit low, but it wasn�t a huge deal. With all of the other complaints that many CBS DVD products often have, the video and audio on here shows that some effort was made to make this show look decent, and viewers will appreciate that. Of course, some music was removed as the back of the packaging indicates, but is anybody really surprised?
Once again, there are no special features. Season one had lots of special features and they were all good!So what happened?
Some very nice special features were produced for this series, but it appears that, as usual, CBS DVD has decided to not give us these...even though they had been produced. I guess they were simply not interested in putting them on these sets, or perhaps they are holding off for a complete series set. In addition, this set has what I believe is an overpriced MSRP for a barebones set that had to have original music removed from it. But that aside, this is still a pretty decent set, and the episodes are basically classics. I�ve never understood why this series doesn�t get more respect than it often does. So, can two divorced men share a four disc DVD set without making you laugh?Of course not! |

en | N/A | N/A | 6 Sept (LPAC) While it is widely-considered likely thatwill pass in a Senate vote (currently anticipated to occur late next week), the House of Representatives is a completely different matter. There, the members are also under intense pressure from the White House, but are under growing pressure from their constituents to oppose the measure, and this is reflected in some House members stating they will vote against it, and numerous others saying that while they haven’t decided, they are leaning against it. Most of the “leaning against” members are citing as reasons, the Administration’s having failed to yet make a convincing case for the attack, and/or its lack of an articulated plan for conducting the action and getting out.
What is driving the growing House opposition to war, is hardly a sudden attack of conscience, nor even GOP “whatever it is, I’m against it” attitudes about Obama. The political driver here is the growing rage of the American people in each of their districts, the people to whom they are responsible, and the people who will decide on their re-election in thirteen months. A snapshot of the phenomenon is seen in a local newspaper report from Lafourche Parish in Louisiana on a town hall meeting conducted by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.): “When Cassidy asked the crowd whether, a majority yelled no. Cassidy said he wasn’t surprised by the response based on calls his office has received. ‘We had three for and 100 against,’ Cassidy said.” Last week Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) ran a poll from his website asking’s civil war?”, and later in the day reported that results so far are that 83.7% of those who have taken the poll to that point had answered “No.” The Huffing on Post reported Thursday that Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said , and also that Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) said that he’s also seeing intense disapproval. A U.S. News and World Reports article said that Amash held dozens of town this week and heard from dozens of voters who urged him to vote against the resolution. A similar report came from a LaRouche PAC organizing team on Capitol Hill, that in the dozen House offices they’d visited Wednesday, the phones were ringing off the hooks with calls against Obama’s airstrikes.
In an email to his constituents this afternoon, Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-Fla.) reported, “I past week while traveling around the district. Almost everyone I’ve spoken with is against U.S. involvement in Syria at this time.” He assured them that he’d gotten the classified briefing, and “I continue to not support the use of U.S. military force in Syria at this time,” citing the lack of a compelling national interest or a clear target and strategy.
On Thursday, back in the hustings, South Dakota state legislator Stacey Nelson, who’s a Marine veteran and retired Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) officer, an announced candidate for the U.S. Senate, and a vigorous co-sponsor of the state’s Glass-Steagall resolution to Congress, put forward four conditions for U.S. military action in Syria. These are, that it’s in the U.S. national interest; when there is a clear objective with definitive goals of success that lead to their departure from the combat zone; it’s supported by the American people; and is only be done as a last resort and after all other means have failed. “Those criteria have NOT been met, I do not support involving the USA in the civil secular conflict in Syria,” Nelson concluded.
* Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah), a former Air Force pilot, is reported by the Salt Lake Tribune to have said at a town meeting last night that U.S. policy is “clearly ill-defined,” and that he wants Obama to make his case for a military strike.
* Rep.

en | N/A | N/A | Dunn Verdict Shines Light on Rising Anger of Millennials
African American Studies at Cornell University, discusses evolving attitudes of young millennials and how such attitudes are evidenced by this weekend’s verdict in the Michael Dunn “loud music” trial in Florida.
“It isn’t just old white men and the Tea Party who seem mad as heck. Recent studies and opinion polls show an outpouring of anger and frustration from white youth. White millennials – youth between the ages of 18 and 29 – now see themselves victims of reverse discrimination and shut out of the American Dream.
“Crushed by a stagnant economy and ballooning student-loan debt, popular culture contributes to the feeling that success and upward mobility in America now belongs to black and brown hip-hop celebrities and athletes. For this generation, Lena Dunham’s character on ‘Girls’ reflects the distress of being white, 20-something, unemployed, overeducated and depressed. The mistrial in this case may reflect a reluctant empathy for Michael Dunn, as more Americans, especially white millennials, see themselves as victims in society.” |

Hydra, they like the type of greed they don't have to pay for.
hell no they aren't.
they like their greed, but not that of others.
they keep THEIR organic chicken and the freeloading homeless can't have any, but they want the money of the wealthy for themselves and call the wealthy greedy for wanting to keep it. to add to the richness of the irony, they then recommend that the homeless hit the soup kitchen paid for by wall st taxes because THEY sure don't want to pay for those FREELOADERS.
you are way off on that one hydra.
when we do it, it's fine, but when you do it, it's evil.
that's pretty much the definition of hypocrisy and nothing at all like consistent in terms of disliking greed.
nice to see OWS showing its true colors.
Got to watch this awesome video of Peter Schiff visiting the OWS weirdos. It's long but highly entertaining.
Thank you!! This is hilarious!
That's right. The only greed they like is their own and that's not greed. Right?
Great post Mark. Made my day!

What's sauce for the out of work hippie is sauce for the ex-con vagrant, I say.
We better hope that banks don't respond to freeloaders the same way OWS Kitchen staff have. What if banks decide only serve brown rice, as it were, and stopped making loans, or doing arbitrage, or doing finance because they don't like the imposition of vagrants by the government? What then? Won't be better for these protesters, that's for sure.

Morganovich has figured out the esence of the whole problem - on both sides, because both side think the same way.
It is an issue of violation of the golden rule. In a free market with a level playing field, there would be no incentive to violate this rule.
Another type of greed is taking away what you earned.
I'd say keeping what I earn isn't greed at all. It's free will. Since I ultimately choose to earn as much or little as I wish within the boundaries of the skills I worked to achieve.... If I decide to give some of that away, it should be called kindness.
Doesn't this come down to a question of how much is "earned".
So, I think I woudl disagree. keeping what you earned is not greed. Keeping more than you earned is greed.

There isn't some objective value outside the subjective values of those engaged in the trade.
Neither would the other party trade places with you, as they got something they wanted more than what they traded to you for it
Didn't your mama teach you theft is wrong?
Yes, the food was donated.
if i want to keep what's mine and feel it is reasonable for you to keep what's yours, that is consistent, not hypocritical.
to claim i want to keep what's mine while saying you should not be able to keep what's yours is.
i am astounded you cannot see this distinction hydra.
if you are good at what you do and i am not, why would it be in any way reasonable to expect you to want to change places?
you seem to be arguing we should all be willing to swap places with one another.
i got an excellent education and worked hard at it. i have worked very, very hard at my career.
why should i, who took big risks and worked 100 hour weeks want to swap places with someone who hasn't?
remember how that worked out?

The movie is produced in conjunction with Imzinmpande Productions and delivers a message but at the same time entertains the audience with family comedy.
"I tried to break barriers with the "Sugars" movie. In this flim I combined black actors and indian actors and we also went to the extent of including Zulu dialogue into the script.

en | N/A | N/A | Any cap hit OBJ has this season should be minimal. We could use his help. But I'm not expecting 2016 OBJ. Just a good WR. Anything more than that is gravy.
Ravens don’t want to pay the money and the Ravens offense is about running the football with Lamar Jackson. OBJ will be a Cowboy if the money is right. OBJ is also looking for multi year contract as well.
The Ravens might want him. He might not want them. If I'm a WR I don't want to play with a QB that's about running first. Same as when Vick was in Atlanta. He'd put up like 15 passes a game. Not enough to go around for 3 receivers and a TE.
Season is going into it's last qtr of games. This dude isn't in football shape, just got medically clear and do not know the plays. I'll pass on him.
100% pass. He is not a game changer.
As much as I’d love to have a healthy OBJ there to stretch opposing defense. I feel it’s a pipe dream and is not based in reality. Money and health being the two biggest factors. Even if he’s willing to take peanuts he would probably not even be healthy enough to effectively contribute.
He should be ready for the 2nd round of the playoffs. Or as we Cowboys fans call it, the 1st week of the off-season.
This is the funniest, most frustrating thing I've read all morning.
NY / Buffalo, freezing weather...Dallas...inside stadium...
Just a matter does he take more $$$ form the other teams, or less from Jerry.
What's to say we won't just sign him for the rest of the year? Make the cap hit work for this year and deal with next year when it comes.
People may think it’s great if he signs a cheap prove it deal but he won’t be happy and will go nuts if not featured…which he definitely should NOT be on this team at this time.
I’m all for it if Gallup or Lamb go down, but totally against this otherwise.
If he really wants 20m per then I hope Jerry tells him what he told Randy Gregory, "El paso"
Like to have him but 2 acl's in 2 years on the same knee.... He is not worth more than Gallup money. He knows this is his last payday.
You're a box of rocks (we knew that though) if you think he's asking for $20M this season.
I would think I would visit team I am most likely going to last as to use the other teams offers/perks against the final team I would visit.
This, he may been born at night but it sure wasn’t last night.
Also buys him time to work out, chill, come up with a plan to con Jerry and Stephen into guaranteed money by using info from other teams. Seems like Dallas is his preferred target.
People know they can't out bid Stephen.
Nobody knows how to overpay a player quite like the cowboys.
Sure, let's add a damaged attention ***** at wide receiver right before the playoffs.
I don`t like the Jones boys chances against any of those front offices.
OBJ is looking for his last contract after two serious injuries. Cowboys are notorious for overpaying players.
The chances are high he lands here based on history.
So conservatively say at least 2-3 weeks to get into football shape so even if signed in the next week, by the time OBJ gets into football shape and learns the Dallas offense, at best you are looking at him not really being up to speed until near the end of December so is this an attempt to make OBJ a playoff push type signing? Also, there is no way he will settle for a 3-5 game contract so what is Dallas really looking to pay him over what would possibly be a multi-year deal?
While he had back to back just over 1,000 yards seasons in 2018 & 2019, he is nowhere near the WR he was the first 3 seasons of his career (2014-2016) so I am not sure why all the desire to sign him to Dallas.
We don’t need him to be the receiver he was his first 3 years….come in get acclimated and then next year be a very good/solid number 3 or number 2 receiver. I’m not banging the table one way or the other on obj but the bills are a franchise that’s run very well they have interest. There’s no visits but some interest from the ravens per reports and Kansas City- another 2 franchise run very well.
They don’t do Divas..
“Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reported on Thursday that the Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs remain in conversation with Beckham. The former Pro Bowl wide receiver is set to visit in early December.
Medically cleared for practice. Just getting in football shape now. Visiting the Bills and Giants next week and the Cowboys on the 5th. |

en | N/A | N/A | International scrapbook Day (ISD) seems so long ago and it’s nearly a month since my last post so it’s about time I shared what I’ve been up to and linked up to those wonderful inspiration sites on t’internet.
For ISD I took part in challenges set by members of the Facebook Group For the Love of Pretty Paper, which was set up by Sarah Roulston of Hey Little Magpie. And I also had a look at the Counterfeit Kit Club challenges. The first challenge on FB was to use three photos and some new stash. I had three photos taken on the quay in St Petersburgh, left over from my pocket page. The papers are all pretty old but I managed to sneak in one new chipboard arrow to meet the criteria.
I think I must have had the CKC challenges on my mind too, because the colour palette is pretty close to this mood board one AND I included some gold glitter alphas, which was another of the challenges.
Then there were scrap lift and sketch challenges. Amanda King challenged us to scrap lift this page:
Of course I reached straight for my pack of photos from Chester Zoo and January’s Counterfeit Kit and here’s my page:
Then there was a sketch from Jennifer Grace:
I think I must have still had the sketch in my head when I did the final challenge – to scrap about work (do you see the similarities?).
I try to work at home once a week so that I can do the school run. This particular day Puddle Duck had made some microwave mug cakes, so I had a tasty snack.
I also did a challenge to create some Project Life cards but I think that’s more than enough for now and I’ll save them for another post. I’ll be back later today with a post for Jennifer Grace’s Focus your Craft and Soul blog event. See you later and Happy Scrapping!

en | N/A | N/A | We control our entire production process through a single computer network system. This network covers each one of our production stages, including ordering, shipping, office work, and management of the number of fish and shellfish in our fish pools.
Our system was developed privately ten years ago, making it a pioneer in this field of business. We have since improved its function and dependability with several series of upgrades. The basic functions of the system are to manage detailed customer orders and to control the complete production process from fish processing to shipping. Another aim is the quick shipment of high-quality products created in line with our thorough safety measures. Furthermore, with the installation of this system, we automated our processing line, which enabled us to process fillets to meet greater demand. One of the characteristics of this line is the ability to process a greater amount of fillets made from fish by size both precisely and quickly. Use of this automated system has also contributed to our thorough safety and hygienic measures, since we are largely able to complete production without human hands coming into contact with the fish. |

I realize the doubled chance of cancer might also sound pretty scary, but researchers caution that guys who have smoked marijuana shouldn't panic. This is because the odds that a man gets testicular most cancers are quite small to begin with. About 1 in 400 men are recognized by the point they're 35, in keeping with the National Cancer Institute. Even if you double that danger to at least one in two hundred, someone man's probabilities are nevertheless quite narrow. The examine additionally does not show that marijuana reasons cancer.

en | N/A | N/A | Inventory financing is beneficial for companies with the following features:
- those with tangible inventory (put other way, service business need not apply),
- those with a proven history for sales and good credit as lenders are not really interested in taking possession of the inventory if the owner is unable to make the loan payments
Limitations of Inventory Financing
- Lenders will most probably require additional security in place to ensure that the collateral is not being disposed improperly.
- Many banks are not known to inventory financing which implies that an extra effort is required to find a banker who is comfortable with it.
- The line of credit might be required to be paid off in full every 12 months and then not used at all for one month.
- the inventory might be required to be unloaded at a loss, thus undermining the owners’ ability of staying current on the line of credit, and
- the interest charged on loan might undermine the owners ability of keeping production on schedule
- Another drawback of inventory financing is featured in high interest and other fees. |

All data at a glance - teamwork on the platform
When using different software products, one is usually confronted with equally different file formats. In the process, the workflows of the application program interfaces also vary, making it difficult to manage, share and back up data and causing additional administrative costs. iSLM, the web-based data management platform, wato solve these problems. In addition to Moldex3D other CAE software can also be integrated. Due to this it is possible to display analysis results from a wide variety of CAE software without the necessity to open the CAE application programs.
iSLM supports the upload of third-party CAE simulations, which can be used to import their analysis result files into the iSLM database. This feature enables comprehensive data collection and facilitates data sharing and exchange within an organization.
iSLM doesn’t only provide the ability to capture and store the entire development process of the part or mold, including patterning, but also enables team memberproduction and sales, to share data in real time.
Thus, the platform can not only help reduce time costs, but also enable data exchange and sharing within teams in the company. In addition, the completeness of the database can be improved so that the data needed can be easily extracted from historical records. |
en | N/A | N/A | 30Q: How long will Luke Walton be the head coach?
The front office seems fine with Walton, but will his seat warm up this year?
It came as a bit of a surprise this summer when the Kings announced that Luke Walton would remain the Kings head coach. Part of that surprise, of course, is that teams rarely feel the need to announce that a coach under contract isn't going to be fired. But it speaks to the expectations among the fan base and the overall sentiment around Walton's performance as head coach.
Walton was hired by Vlade Divac following a 39-win season under Dave Joerger. Since taking over Walton has led the Kings to back-to-back seasons of 31 wins and 41 losses, equivalent to a 35-win season in a normal 82 game season. Last season saw the Kings endure multiple 9-game losing streaks, and for most of the year the Kings had the worst defensive rating in all of NBA history (they would finish the year with the second worst of all time). The Kings also fell short of making the play-in tournament (a modest goal that the Kings still couldn't reach), and saw the franchise's postseason drought extended to 15 seasons, matching the league's all-time record for futility.
And yet Monte McNair decided to bring Walton back for another year. For whatever reason, McNair seems satisfied with Walton's performance. McNair has shown himself to be a patient GM in most aspects, as he hasn't rushed into big trades either. But does Walton get another full season of grace, or will there come a breaking point where the pressure from fans or (more likely) ownership becomes too great?
The Kings, of course, could play well this season and render Walton's job safe. As much as I've criticized Walton, I'd ultimately love to see the Kings succeed.
But if the Kings struggle, can Walton continue to survive on the same excuses? Injuries are bound to happen. Players will likely still miss games due to Covid protocols. But will those excuses keep Walton through another season if the Kings are again playing poorly?
Hopefully the Kings are good and we don't find out the answer to this question. If the Kings struggle, we may get to see how far McNair's patience will go.
Already been way too long.
It certainly has felt like forever.
After this season, Luke will only have 1 more year on his contract, now it’s smoother and quieter to make an owner’s contribution call from the new hedge fund owners than individual minority owners to cover Luke’s unique “all my money once fired” contract; and the Kings will probably have missed the playoffs again … so he probably gets the full year but this is probably his last year.
If the Kings are 7-13 or worse after the first 20 I think he’s gone. Or if they start strong and go on an extended losing streak like they did last year.
If the Kings can play .500 ball, I bet he keeps his damn job til the end of the season.
If the Kings are just below .500 by the all star break he may find his seat to be a little more uncomfortable than he’s used to, but they’ll let him try and make a run for the playoffs to save his job.
If the Kings are well below .500 halfway – two thirds of the way to the all-star break I hope the FO pulls the chair out from under him finally.
The Hawks started terrible under Lloyd so they fired him. The next thing you know Atlanta one of the top teams in the league.
Why can`t the Kings have nice things?
They don’t play again until Dec. 8th. It’s almost as if the NBA schedule makers gave the Kings a break in there to practice with their new interim coach Alvin Gentry. |

en | N/A | N/A | Being impeccable to your word.
Always telling the truth.
Truth never does any more harm than a lie.
Does the lie protect you from ridicule or judgment?
No, but it’s probably easier to ridicule or judge.
Truth brings to light what is being felt or understood at that time.
Communicating those beliefs and its feeling helps you and others know who you are and where you are on the path.
There are no mistakes so you really can’t be wrong.
So be brave and know your truth.
Trust that the rest will fall into place just as it naturally will.

Morgan Stanley beats forecasts with $1.4bn profit
The firm’s chief financial officer Colm Kelleher said that the third quarter represented the bank’s fourth best quarter in terms of financial performance, ending the period with $175bn (€123.1bn) of liquidity after slashing its balance sheet to less than $1,000bn.
Chief executive John Mack claimed that Morgan Stanley was “well positioned� to ride out the storm of negative sentiment afflicting the financial sector. “�.recorded a 50% decline in pretax earnings to $2.2bn as revenue increased 19% to $5.9bn.
The asset management arm posted a pretax loss of $204m, as against earnings of $491m a year earlier. Revenue fell 53% to $647m from lower net revenue in its merchant-banking and core businesses.
Kelleher reaffirmed Morgan Stanley’s faith in the standalone investment banking model, saying: “These markets are all about confidence and we are proudly confident in the robustness of our franchise, business model and balance sheet.� </s> Intesa Sanpaolo leadership25 Nov 2011

en | N/A | N/A | Here’s the headline from Sarah Palin’s Facebook post yesterday: “Another ‘WTF’ Obama Foreign Policy Moment.” The content of Palin’s post, by and large, is actually quite interesting stuff about how many secrets we are simply giving away to the Russians. That’s a pretty intelligent topic, and Palin does grasp it. But even in discussing an issue over which she has mastery, Palin leans on blunt-force and simplistic messaging. “WTF” is, of course, shorthand for “what the f—.”
It’s vulgar and coarse and unfitting a President. And as long as Palin continues to look unpresidential, she will only be considered a Presidential contender by a cadre of Ron Paul-esque followers and the “lamestream” media she claims to abhor but who gives her more attention than she currently deserves. She will win nothing.
A Presidential adviser might be able to get away with such language, and perhaps Palin needs a James Carville. Bill Clinton could never have dismissed allegations of his extramarital affairs as the product of dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park. Carville did, and in doing so he said what many people were thinking but afraid to say. He acted as the lightning rod for criticism, but he got his boss’s message out there.
Instead, Palin tries to be both the candidate and the firebrand. She too often talks down to an electorate that is really looking for someone who can talk up to them.
This is part of the challenge Palin and other outsiders face in political campaigns; the inability to surround themselves with media-savvy professionals leads to clumsy, overly populist messaging. Sure, a few will take it seriously, but most will either dismiss it out of hand or respond with a quizzical “WTF?”

BAR technical director Geoff Willis has revealed that the arrival of Gil de Ferran as the team's new sporting director should pay off dividends in helping development of the BAR 007 - because he no longer needs to attend every race
Apr 6, 2005, 1:52 PM
Speaking exclusively to Autosport-Atlas about the impact of the shock appointment of de Ferran, Willis has welcomed the move because it now frees him up to get back to his main focus of making the team's new challenger as quick as possible.
"I can now get to work on the issues that I am meant to be concentrating on," said Willis, speaking during testing at Barcelona in Spain on Wednesday. "So I may not be at all the races now, but that is what Gil is for."
"He has a good engineering background and I look forward to working with him. He will work closely with (chief race engineer) Craig Wilson and Gil will not be the man who decides on set-up, strategy and technical issues - that is Craig's job.
"But Gil knows what competition is all about and we need a person like that. It will not be like Gerhard Berger, Niki Lauda or even Bobby Rahal." |

As the drive towards cleaner energy for transportation ramps up, low emission alternative fuels to traditional Petro fuels are required. To this end this investigation focuses upon a HEFA type alternative fuel running on APU unit located at the Low Carbon Combustion Centre (LCCC) of the University of Sheffield with the aim of measuring the vibrations and instabilities when compared with the engine running on standard Jet A1. It should be noted that the HEFA fuel produced relatively harsh vibrations across the board with respect to Jet A1, this may have implications on engine in-service maintenance. |
en | N/A | N/A | By now, you’ve probably heard about the Omicron strain of COVID-19, which We still don’t know much about it, but preliminarys. It might also evade protection from vaccines or past infections
Omicron (B.1.1.529) was initially detected in southern Africa in November 2021, but it’s been identified in at least 20 countries now. On December 1, it was officially foundlifornia-based patient recently returned from a trip to South Africa, and they’re experiencing mild symptoms. Minnesota also reported an Omicron case in someone who recently traveled to New York City.
Viruses tend to change as they spread throughout a community, and COVID-19 is no exception. “When a virus gets into the cells of a patient, it begins to make copies of itself,” explains Kristina Deeter, M.D., pediatric intensivist and ine at Pediatrix Medical Group. “There can be ‘mistakes’ in the RNA copies that it makes of itself, and these new mutated copies can then be spread to other people.”
The Omicron variant is particularly concerning because it has an “unusually high number of mutations”—more than 30 in total, according to The New York Times. These mutations affect the spike protein, which causes infection by penetrating host cells. Experts believe these changes could make the virus more transmissible and affect vaccine respon
Preliminary evidence has also suggested an increased risk of reinfection with Omicron; that’s possibly because mutations to the spike protein help the virus evade antibodies.
What Are the Symptoms of the Omicron Variant?
Though we’re still learning about the Omicron variant, preliminary evidence suggests it often causes mild illness, with slightly different symptoms from other coronavirus strains. According to Dr. Parikh, patients have been “reporting no loss of smell or taste and some scratchy throat, but many other classic symptoms remain the same.”
Dr. Coetzee also mentioned that Omicron patients appear to be younger, which correlates with preliminary evidence around the world. Indesaid that children under 2 years old account for 10 percent of hospital admissions in Tshwane, South Africa (an epicenter of the Omicron variant). It’s possible that the increase in pediatric hospitalizations is due to lower vaccination rates in children or their immature immune systems. Worried parents could also be takingas the virus continues to shift and mutate, our vaccination strategy might become less effective. “Our current vaccinations are directly focused on the spike protein architecture of the COVID-19 virus,” says Dr. Deeter. “If the structure of the virus begins to change, as the Omicron variant has, then the concern is that our vaccinations may not be as effective in protecting the vaccinated population.”
Medicaleveryone 5 and up get vaccinated. You should also receive the COVID-19 booster shot if you’re eligible. All availablecurrently circulating COVID-19 strains—around the world.
While it’s important to stay informed about the Omicron variant, parents shouldn’t panic. “As with all other strains of COVID-19, unvaccinated people will remain at risk for moderate to severe infection, sometimes requiring hospitalization,” says Dr. Deeter. “The best protection is to continue our known effective mitigation measures, like getting vaccinated if you’re eligible, wearing a mask in public, avoiding people who are ill, and frequent hand-washing. We have no evidence at this point that any further measures are needed with this strain.”

en | N/A | N/A | I Failed My GCSE's But....
Scrolling through social media over the last couple of days, I've seen so many parents eagerly anticipating their children's exam results.
Be it A levels or GCSEs, the excitement is palpable.
And while I can fully understand the pride in finding out the results their beloved offspring have earned...I also remember so clearly the intense anxiety I felt myself 20 years ago, as I stood in the common room at school, envelope in hand...about to find out my fate.
Suddenly my future seemed in doubt. I didn't know what my pathway to my imagined future would look like anymore. I felt like a door had been closed in my face.
The school I attended was known to befor exam results, OFSTED ratings and truancy levels. It was so notorious in its failings that, the year after I left, it was the subject of a BBC2 documentary which dubbed it "Britains Worst School".
Ever since I had joined the register halfway through year 7, I'd been hailed by the teaching staff as one of their brightest pupils.
I'd come from another, more "Successful" school where I'd been bullied relentlessly and so my parents had removed me and allowed me to choose a new school for myself. I chose this one because the school day was much shorter than everywhere else and because there were less than 200 pupils in the entire school when I first started there - in my mind, less students meant less chance of being bullied again.
We were offered additional support to help us meet those expectations but I didn't take them up on it - infact I barely attended school at all during the last year due ...once again...to the bullying and anxiety which plagued my early life.
I felt like a failure. And at the moment in time, I felt frightened of what the future would hold for me.
All I'd heard about for the last 2 years was how very important these exams were. How they would shape my whole future, and how only those who did their very best would go on to become somebody or achieve anything.
I'd hope they do, but just incase...f life as a person who "failed" their GCSEs and never even attempted their A levels.
I failed my GCSEs but...I work for myself, have total freedom and have made my dream of earning a living from writing a reality. On my own terms, in my own way.
I failed my GCSEs but...I did not fail at living a fulfilled and happy life.
Those grades do not define you, and they don't dictate your entire future - please don't let yourself believe that they do.
There is always another path.

It was more than two hours into the weekly service, and neither the pastor nor his congregation, a multiracial group of about 350 teenagers and adults, was ready to quit. The D.J. played a hip-hop beat, and shouts of praise rose from the pews. "Come on," Mr. Durso encouraged, "tear the roof off this place in praise to God."
Eleven years after ' church, the two worlds seem to be inching closer together. The singer R. Kelly and the rapper Mase, who left the music business for five years to become a minister, have new hit albums filled with gospel messages, and one of this summer's most popular songs was "Jesus Walks," an overtly Christian rap by Kanye West.
"Hip-hop is the language and the cry of this generation," said Mr. Durso, 27, who mixes guest rappers and videos with conservative evangelical preaching in his Friday services, which are called Aftershockt"' Mr. Durso said, using the hip-hop contraction for all rightThe sometimes bumpy rapprochement between the church and Christian hip-hop reflects changes in both. Instead of meeting in the middle, each is adapting to the rougher norms of commercial rap.
Christian rappers, who once presented themselves as squeaky clean alternatives to their secular peers, are increasingly spinning graphic tales of urban life, with little aroma of church sanctimony. Corey Red and Precise, a New York duo that performed at Aftershock, rhymed about their pasts as drug dealers, lacing their rhymes with sexual frankness and references to gunplay. Strutting the stage in a do-rag and football jersey, Corey Red rapped, "I put the heat to your knot," pointing a finger to his head like a gun, even as he talked about being saved.
For churches, making peace with hip-hop is a matter of survival, said Ralph Watkins, who teaches African-American culture and religion at Augusta State University in Georgia. "Mainline churches have identified hip-hop culture as an enemy, and that's their problem," he said. "If you walked in to 90 percent of your mainline churches who have not embraced this culture, you're going to find an absence of young people."
In "Jesus Walks," Kanye West cites a comparable unwillingness on the part of the rap business to address matters of faith. He rhymess/
Mr. West, the son of a Christian marriage counselor, said that when his father heard the song, he said, "'Maybe you missed your calling.' I said, 'No, maybe this is my call
"This is just the latest version" of the battle, he said. "It's about the continuing need for new expressions of what it means to be human, and the church oftentimes is not able to keep up, whether we're talking about jazz, the blues, soul or gospel music."
But unlike gospel and soul, "hip-hop didn't start in the church," said Phil Jackson, a youth pastor who last year started a hip-hop ministry called The House in one of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods.
"So there still exists some antagonism. But for this generation, the only way to make the gospel relevant to them is through hip-hop. In my neighborhood we don't need another church on Sunday morning. We need something to speak to young people."
Corey Red and Precise, who call their style hardcore gospel, are emblems of the uneasy crossover. Corey Red, whose surname is Sullivan, rejected the church as a teenager, turning to hip-hop and small-timecrime. "I didn't know anybody Christian my age," he said. "The ones I did know, there was so much religiosity that we wouldn't be able to talk. That turned me off." When he was stabbed in a street confrontation and critically injured, he said, he felt Jesus in a way that he never had in church.
"It took God to visit me outside the four walls" of the church, he said. "That's why I love the Lord, because he came into the street and met me where I was. Even though the people inside the four walls wrote me off, like 'He's finished, he's not going to see 25 years old."'
Mr. Ferguson said he struggles to justify the music of some Bad Boy acts. But their Christian alternatives, he acknowledged, can barely support a small business.
"The church has these soldiers at their disposal," said Precise, whose real name is Robert Young. "But a lot of brothers, after a night of risking their life, they can't even keep their lights on in their house. We're here for the church. But any army poorly funded is going to struggle."
Mr. Kyllonen, 31, who raps under the name Urban D., teaches pastors around the country to use hip-hop in their ministries. With the success of Kanye West, he said, churches and the music industry are looking at the potential reach of Christian hip-hop.
"Hip-hop is the hook that might draw them in, but what keeps them that are here," he said. "Because if they don't have that, and that doesn't become authentic, we would just be another place to come hang out, like a club. A club gets old after a while. Then there's a new club that opens up down the street that the music is better, they got a better D.J., that's where everyone's going now. The difference with us is that spiritual aspect."
Mr. Dauphin said that people who cannot understand this apparent contradiction are blind to the prophetic powers of hip-hop. "We're street disciples," he said. "You can be the greatest preacher in the world and not reach the street. That's where we're at." |

en | N/A | N/A | I can see the merits of both, and so this is difficult - an ideal situation would be to keep things as they are why put the devs through work that doesn't neec to be done? , but a pragmatic approach would be to go back to the FreeBSD init, as you know it's going to be around for a long time and it's more familiar...
I would track whatever FreeBSD is planning to do as close as possible. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is zero effort, long term compatible improvements.
Feel free to soften the above. Low effort, likely long term compatible, etc :-)
I moved off GhostBSD because of OpenRC
I had stopped using GhostBSD a few years ago when they moved to OpenR, and I had started roling my own FreeBSD desktop ever since, It's unlikly I would return to GhostBSD regardless of what decision is made. I'm quite happy with my pure FreeBSD desktop, but moving back to rc.d would at least allow me to start reconsidoring GhostBSD for some projects.
The future for FreeBSD

Personally, I like that GhostBSD uses OpenRC, because it allows broader testing, and has shown that it works really well, adding strength to the debate for FreeBSD to make the switch.
Who ahould change init?

I presume you switched to OpenRC for good reasons like paralleled performance and easier management.
I presume the FreeBSD project uses RC for conservative reasons and stability of "the way things work".
I would love for FreeBSD to adapt OpenRC too.
I voted for RC to free developer resources and make GhostBSD come closer to FreeBSD.
Should the project happen to fail users should be able to switch over to the mothership.

FreeBSD uses init.d, yes, and it works. TrueOS uses OpenRC, and it works great. Now, my understanding is that GhostBSD tracks TrueOS... and so uses OpenRC because of that. I voted for init.d, but then thought about the problems of a developer having to remove the working init system to replace with one they committee likes... bleah!
Eric, use the init system you like. You built GhostBSD as a system you enjoy... and give it out in hopes other will like it too! I'd ask that you keep making stuff that makes you happy, and we'll use it or not. Making minute changes that appear as steps backwards (to you) will only decrease you interest in working on this fantastic desktop - and I for one don't want that! This is an excellent system, and if the only complaint is the init system... well, that's a very minor issue. My desktop doesn't need to behave exactly as my servers do... lol, for people to give up on a system because it uses a different set of commands to perform similar functions, well too bad.

Sttay true to the principles that drove the hard decisions that helped define Freebsd and leave a shine of resillience (systemd for example).

I am one those users that has known Linux since it's early Ubuntu days, and slowly found my way into BSD. I have used so many distros that I have los count. Some of them have what is now the stardard for Linux systemd and others have OpenRC, runit, and s6. All of them work and do things differently yes, however when it comes down as long as the users and developers agree, there should really be no difference. It's like liking Apple Juice over Orange Juice they are both still juices.
I honestly don't feel that changing the init to FreeBSD RC (rc.d) will benefit what GhostBSD is as whole; sure it can be more "pure" and what not, but at the end of the day I like GhostBSD because it's a great Unix-like system that does and runs how a Unix-l;ike system should. I stopped using it for a while because my old main machne specifically didn't work with it not because of it's init. My new machine has been running it perfectly for months.

en | N/A | N/A | another word as Eli took the stairs three at a time down to the storm wall.
Josef's admiral was waiting for him on the vertical stair leading down the storm wall to the bay. Tesset was standing beside him. They both stepped aside to make room as Josef joined them.
"You coming out on the water with us?" Josef said, studying the Council man.
Tesset smiled politely. "Absolutely not. I don't care for boats, and I have a feeling I'll be more useful here."
"Have it your way," Josef said. "But it'll be a boring post. Nothing's getting to the shore."
"Consider me as insurance," Tesset said. "On the off chance anything should slip by your blockade."
Josef shook his head and pushed by, slapping Tesset on the shoulder as he passed. Tesset didn't even wobble under the blow. He just stood there, smiling as he watched Josef and the admiral head down to the beach.
"Are the boats supplied like we talked about?" Josef asked, taking the steep, treacherous steps two at a time.
"Yes, majesty," the admiral said. "All our remaining clingfire has been loaded, though I don't know what good it'll do."
"We only need a little," Josef said. He jumped the last stair and hit the sand running. All the boats but one were already out in the water. The last and largest, the Oseran flagship, was waiting for him at the end of the dock. It was a beautiful runner, twenty feet long and narrow as a barrel with a crew of fifteen strong oarsmen as well as a high, narrow sail. The men saluted as Josef ran up the plank, jumping onto the deck with a force that rocked the ship.
"I've put archers on the cliffs to cover your retreat, my lord," the admiral said from the dock. "Remember, there's only two hours left until the tide. I'll set the signal fire thirty minutes before. You'll have that much time to get in."
"More than enough," said the flagship captain, an enormous sailor who looked like he'd spent his life on the sea. He turned to Josef, and the swordsman saw a flicker of disgust on the sailor's face. Josef tensed. King he might be, but most of Osera still thought he was dirt. But whatever the captain's private feelings, he hid them with the discipline that made the Oseran navy famous.
"On your word, sire," he said with a sharp salute.
"Go," Josef said, moving up to the prow of the ship.
The moment the word was given, the deck jerked under his feet as the oars hit the water, and the narrow ship darted into the bay. The other ships rocked to life as well, falling in behind the king's flagship as the fleet shot out of the sheltered Rebuke and into the blue water of the open sea.
Josef stood on the prow, letting his body adjust to the wind and the pitch of the boat. He'd almost got it when the boat suddenly dipped. Josef turned as the sailors cried in alarm, and his face broke into a smile as he saw Nico stepping out of the shadows beneath the mast.
"We're fine," Josef said. "She's with me."
This didn't seem to reassure the sailors, but they kept rowing, glancing sideways at Nico as she squinted at Josef from beneath her dark hood.
"How'd it go?" Josef said.
"Pretty well," Nico answered. "I went to every one of the outer villages just like you said. They didn't believe me at first, but once I pointed out the Empress's ships, they went along just fine. The catapults are being set up right now. If a palace ship gets within two hundred feet of the outer island shores, it'll be bombarded."
"Good," Josef said. "Won't be enough to sink a palace ship, but a barrage will make landing troops hairy. That'll have to be enough to protect our flank for now." He squeezed Nico's arm and stepped past her, climbing back up on the prow so he could look the rowers in the eye. "Listen up!" he shouted. "The admiral and I explained this earlier, but since we're the flagship and everyone's following our lead, I'm going to say it again. We're not out here to fight the Empress's fleet. Our only objective is to stop hermainland."
He threw out his arm and pointed down at the water. This far out, it was beautifully clear. Down below, the shadow of their boat shot across the bright, rocky reef that waited thirty feet below the waves, the natural barrier between their island and the sea. "See that?" Josef said, stabbing his finger at the reef. "That's our weapon. All we have to do is hold them over the shallows and let the tide do our work for us."
The captain gritted his teeth. "Begging your pardon, majesty, but how are we going to hold ships that big with no clingfire? The admiral said you had some kind of secret weapon, but, and I ain't intending to be speaking above my station, I don't see nothing on you but a big metal bar."
Josef grinned wide and reached over his shoulder, drawing the Heart in a smooth arc. "This big metal bar is all we need. Just row where I tell you to go. I'll do the rest."
"Aye, sire," the captain said, though he couldn't hide the tremble in his voice. "Full ahead."
The flagship shot forward, cutting through the water like a knife toward the front line of the palace ships.
The Empress's fleet slowed to meet them, the palace ships halting their unnatural speed as they reached the edge of the reef. Josef fell to a crouch. The other runners had fanned themselves out around the flagship and were keeping pace, just as they were supposed to. Josef was just starting to feel good about this whole crazy operation when he felt Nico tense beside him.
"What?" he said, glancing at her.
Nico was staring straight ahead, eyes wide. "Was there always an island there?"
Nico pointed at the sky behind the palace ships. Josef squinted against the bright sun, and then his eyes went wide as he saw it too. There, rising like a specter over the enemy fleet, was the shadowy shape of a large, rocky island. But that was impossible. Osera was the last land in these waters. Yet there it was, sturdy and large as any of the Oseran mountain islands. Even this far away, Josef could make out the shape of buildings clinging to the island's rocky slope. Buildings in a style he'd never seen before.
His blood began to run cold, but even as the fear rose, Josef made himself let it go. "Forget it," he said, raising his voice. "Nothing has changed! Full ahead!"
"Aye, sire," the captain said. "Steady!"
The sailors obeyed, and the Oseran fleet flew at the line of palace ships like a tiny bird flying at a wall that spans the world.
Nara stood on the balcony of her war palace, watching the tiny specs of the Oseran fleet approaching her front line. Her ornate sword was out and naked in her hand, a rare sight, and one that made her general extremely uncomfortable.
"Hail, Empress," he said after waiting a solid minute for her to notice he was there.
"One of the Hundred Conquerors has fallen," the Empress said, raising her sword for him to see. "I still don't believe it. I haven't had a sleeper fall since I took the high mountains. What was that, two hundred years ago?"
"Two hundred and fifty-three," the general said. "If my Empress is referring to her war with the Ascetics of the Great Glacier."
"Oh, yes," the Empress said. "That pack of ice builders. A good war, if I remember. I think I ended up commanding their glacier to provide the water that turned the northern plains green."
"For which your people will forever sing your praises, Empress."
The Empress nodded and sheathed her sword. "So long as the sleeper accomplished its task, it matters little, I suppose. I'll just have to make a new Conqueror when this is finished. We have more with |
