en | N/A | N/A | How much difference does three days make?
Three days. Which means that by this past Memorial Day weekend, much of the world will have moved on from the May 24 massacre in Uvalde, Texas. It didn’t even take that long for the far right to shrug aside as less important than their gun rights. “Thoughts and prayers” were offered post-haste, just as they always are. Just as they were barely a week earlier when 10 people were mowed down at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. Each time demands flooded social media (“Enough is enough! It’s time to do something!!”), only to become rendered impotent by the see-saw that followed.
See: It’s not guns; it’s the mentally ill. Saw: If the mentally ill didn’t have guns, they couldn’t end 21 lives in a matter of minutes. See: Without assault rifles, there might be injury and death, but not of that magnitude. Saw: The sacred Second Amendment!
In the three days — three days — following the slaughter at Robb Elementary School, I read arguments that backhoes are less lethal than guns. Others that boys under 18 must be allowed to buy guns because teenagers helped defeat the British in the American Revolution. (Never mind that that was 250 years ago, before there was a nation that now supports a massive, professional military.) One that when Cain killed Abel with a rock, God didn’t ban rocks. Others that when a child hits someone with a stick, you take away the stick. Far too many that it’s too late to, as my late father would say, put this s**t back in the bag.
I have been steeped in traditional journalism long enough to have watched gun rights become the third rail not just of politics, but also of journalism. So, too, many of the issues that now lacerate these dis-United States: abortion, taxes, gender, religion. But especially gun rights.
I have respected the journalistic line of non-judgment for the most part. I have friends and relatives who hunt and stand strong on the imprimatur of the Second Amendment. I have others who love target shooting as something of a meditation, maybe like golf or pool. Even more who appreciate the craftsmanship of a finely crafted gun much as they would any well-honed tool.
Yet now a respected editor questions whether it is time to move past conventions of photo sensibility and start showing the reality of 7-year-olds riddled with bullets. A reporter I know from a top-masthead news site spent years on the gun-slaughter beat; she won’t publish her heartbreaking essay about the personal toll it took on her because she fears it would tank her respect in the profession. The Democrats are hoping for a negotiated compromise with Republicans over “reasonable” gun control laws. The Republicans are fighting amongst themselves over who is the greater defender of the Second Amendment. President Joseph R. Biden showed up to sit with grieving parents. Former President Donald J. Trump showed up to cheer the National Rifle Association.
I slam against the irony (I know journalists are never supposed to use that word, but pfffft!) of children climbing out a window to seek safety in a funeral home across the street. A funeral home. I think of the irony of the at-all-costs defense of the Second Amendment — which has been bloated to fit purposes that have little to do with the times in which it was written — versus the shrug at the need to defend second-, third- and fourth-graders. I try to reconcile the “pro-life” movement with this continued anti-life carnage — and simply can’t.
No one, in these dis-United States, is going to take away the right to own guns. But the right to military-grade assault rifles? I have a copy of the U.S. Constitution and, no matter how hard I squint when I read it, I don’t see language that applies.
Then, then, then … even if I could stretch that far, I think of those now-gone 19 schoolchildren in Texas and of the others before and elsewhere who were injured and the more and more and more who bore impossible witness, and try to juxtapose that with the wonder I experienced last Friday — three days after the horror in Texas — at another elementary school, this one in a mountain town in north central Washington.
I had volunteered with Mountain Editor at a Young Writer’s Conference. We stood before bleachers jammed with noisy innocence to be introduced with the other volunteers, then braved a classroom of fourth- and fifth-graders.
I’ve edited Pulitzer Prize winners. I’ve stared down politicians and CEOs and soldiers at military checkpoints. I’ve thrown elbows under a basketball hoop with four much larger brothers. But none of it was as intimidating as a room of 10-year-olds who wondered what I have to offer that is of interest to them. One boy groaned early in our writing workshop that “I’m not having a good day” and promptly put his head on the desk. Another blurted, “Aren’t we going to draw?” — an understandable assumption since we had titled the workshop “Painting Pictures with Words.” Several dove into a verbal smackdown over whether Bus 5, 8 or 10 was the worst. When I did my best to steer those discussions onto paper for mini-stories, one described his school bus as a “yellow Twinkie where you can’t move or talk at all.” Yes!
Mr. Stratman, the fourth-grade teacher, struck me as one of those treasures of public education that deserves more respect — and money — than they usually get. After I fumbled through my workshop, he told me later that Gillian plans a future in politics. “But watching her today, maybe you inspired her to think about journalism,” he said.
What a gift. How promising to think of the Gillians of the future serving the public through journalism or politics that actually serve. After a discouraging week of family care-taking and, yes, news, a morning spent with possibilities for the future carried me forward with a lighter step. |

en | N/A | N/A | Adams v. Mt. Lebanon Operations, LLC
By Tyler Smith on Jun 16th, 2022
In Adams v. Mt. Lebanon Operations, LLC d/b/a Mt. Lebanon Rehabilitation and Wellness Center (Center), 2022 Pa Super 100, the Pennsylvania Superior Court concluded that the Center’s binding arbitration agreement was invalid.
Doreen Adams filed a complaint asserting Center’s negligent care of her mother, Margherita Daquino, resulting in her death. Specifically, Adams alleged shortly after her mother’s admission to Center’s facility on November 24, 2018, her mother developed a swallowing disorder that increased her risk for aspiration, requiring her to be monitored during meals. Adams further asserted that her mother aspirated and died on January 25, 2019 because she was left unsupervised.
Upon Margherita’s admission to Center, Adams signed an Admission Agreement that contained a provision requiring all disputes be resolved in binding arbitration. In a separate section of the Admission Agreement titled “Legal Representative,” Adams circled “Yes” in response to a question asking whether Adams was Margherita’s power of attorney (POA). In another section of the Admission Agreement Adams indicated that Margherita chose her to be her assigned authorized representative, but was not authorized by State or federal law. The Admission Agreement further directed Adams to attach documentation to the Admission Agreement evincing their legal status regarding representation of the resident; however, upon disclosure of the Admission Agreement, there was no POA, or any other legal documentation, attached to the Admission Agreement.
In response to Adams’ complaint, the Center asked the court to compel arbitration of Adams’ claims because Adams executed a mandatory binding arbitration agreement as Power of Attorney. Adams opposed Center’s attempt to compel arbitration because Center failed to submit evidence that Adams was: (1) Margherita’s POA, or (2) authorized by Margherita to sign the Admission Agreement on her behalf. Adams argued that agency could not be inferred simply because she was Margherita’s daughter.
The trial court concluded because Center failed to prove Adams had a valid POA or any other evidence demonstrating that she had the power to bind Margherita to the Admission Agreement. The trial court also found e: (1) Adams functionally had no choice but to promptly sign this agreement upon her mother’s admission; and (2) the arbitration provision was buried in a 26-page admission packet and did not explicitly state that by agreeing, the signor is giving up their right to a judge or jurythe Superior Court needed to determine if the arbitration agreement was valid. W8, 1012 (Pa. Super. 2015). Forand a resident’s purported POA agent to be valid, there must be an agency relationship between the resident/principal and the POA agent. Petersen v. Kindred Healthcare, Inc., 155 A.3d 641, 645 (Pa. Super. 2017). In Wisler v. Manor Care of Lancaster PA, LLC, 124 A.3d 317, 323-24 (Pa. Super. 2015), the court held:
A(1) express authority, (2) implied authority, (3) apparent authority, and/or (4) Apparent agency exists where the principal, by word or conduct, causes to act. An agent cannot Such authority emanates from the action of the principal and not the agent. Te. |

What should I ask Anonymous Potato?
I am going to be doing an email interview with ecoevojobs.net organizer Anonymous Potato. What should I ask? Leave your suggestions in the comments. I appreciate all suggestions, though I can’t promise I’ll take them all up.

Poll on co-authorship of papers using publicly available data
So to get some anecdata on this, here’s a a very short anonymous poll. I’ll publish a summary of the responses in a future post.e? I’m no expert, all I know is what I read in the news, but recent estimates seem to suggest that air pollution is worse for us than we used to think it was.
Friday links: philosopher vs. baseball, following Am Nat’s lead on data sharing, and more
Continuing my little series of posts on the analogies between scientific fraud and financial fraud, inspired by Dan Davies’ book Lying For Money. As with past posts in the series, the hope is that the looking at scientific fraud through the lens of financial fraud provides some novel and useful insights. Just thinking out loud here, trying ideas on for size.
Today: is there a scientific equivalent of a “control fraud”? For British readers, a more clickbait-y title for this post would be “Is there a scientific equivalent of the PPI mis-selling scandal?”
The story and lessons of the NutNet experiment: an interview with Elizabeth Borer
Posted on November 9, 2020 by Jeremy Fox
The Nutrient Network (“NutNet“) is a long-running, pioneering globally distributed field experiment. It now involves hundreds of researchers at hundreds of sites around the world, it’s published a bunch of important and influential papers, and it’s served as the inspiration and model for many other distributed experiments. I’m a huge fan of NutNet, not just because of all the great science that’s come out of it, but because it’s a new and very interesting model for how to do science (at least, new to me…) I’m also a fan of NutNet because it’s a very different sort of science than anything I do or would have even thought of doing. When I look at someone else’s protist microcosm experiment, I look at it with the eyes of a connoisseur, because I do protist microcosm experiments too. But when I look at NutNet, I’m just amazed, it’s like I’m looking at a magic trick or the Sagrada Família. How does someone do that? How does someone even think of doing it?
Friday link: Am Nat gives its data sharing policy teeth
Sorry, I didn’t look at the intertubes this week, for…reasons. So just one link this week, which I’ll talk a bit about: Am Nat has updated its data sharing policy to give it teeth.

One Thought – Higher Education Strategy |
en | N/A | N/A | Just in these two verses... there are a number of critical directives which have been recorded for our benefit. Each and every one of them could be a study in themselves, yet here they are presented together. They are each a separate action, yet we cansee by the way they are presented together how connected each action is to the other. There is a dependency and need for each one. They are all interconnected. Listing them:
2. Lean not to your own understanding.
3. Acknowledge God in all things.
4. He will direct your paths.
6. Fear the Lord.
All too often when we read God's Word, we tend to think we already know what we are reading. We should approach the Word with humility and reverent anticipation. We may have whole chapters committed to memory, yet not have understanding. We should ask the Holy Spirit to open our inner eyes, and give us fresh and new insight into what we are reading. That we might be fed and grow from the Word of God each and every time we read it. We should remember how very fortunate and privileged we are to have the Bible? and the freedom to study as we desire. We may not always have this privilege. As we study God's Word with an open heart, we will gain new insight and understanding of how it all fits together.
Men have taken the same Word, and divided it, taken verses out of context, twisted their meanings to accommodate their own doctrines and agendas. In this country alone we have literally hundreds of denominations, sect, cults, branches and offshoots, all claiming the same thing..Obviously this cannot be. When the Bible doesn't make sense, or seems to contradict itself, it is because it is being read with the carnal, natural mind.
We see from just these 3 verses, that there are stipulations and requirements to be a disciple of Jesus. Some men have said we just have to accept the free gift of salvation and that's all we have to do (besides come to church and pay our tithes regularly). It would seem that perhaps we would be wise to look a lot deeper into our beliefs than just what we have been told. There is so much more to be found in our walk... there is so much more to learned and experienced. Failing to d
When we are seeking to know God and find the truth, the Word tells u But we must seek to find it, as if searching for silver or gold. God wants to give good gifts to His children. We need to learn what He requires of us that we may receive. |
en | N/A | N/A | If you combine the Amrock, Cuckoo Maline, New Hampshire and Wyandotte, you might end of with something like the Bielefelder. A German poultry breeder did just that in the 1970's to create this large UBER breed. Greenfire Farms was the first to import Bielefelders into the United States. Our stock is from Greenfire Farms.
Bielefelders are also consistent layers of very large brown eggs. They lay in quite impressive numbers and start laying at a young age.
Cool Fact: The Bielefelder is an "auto-sexing" chicken. When the chicks are born, you can easily and immediately distinguish male from female based on their feather color pattern. This trait is passed on with each generation. |
en | N/A | N/A | An interview with Clan Of Xymox founder Ronny Moorings:
1c?
To confuse you and the rack jobbers in the record store. OK, every time we changed the name it was a sign there was a certain change for us. So I feel Hidden Faces connects better with the 4 AD period, so you could say it is the 3rd album of Clan of Xymox.
I think the USA is a bit slower in recognising that in Europe Gothic/Industrial etc. is making a huge come back and that it is “cool” to wear black again
No never, after everything is recorded I simply look at the songs which would work live and as we have already a whole back catalogue it is easy to pick the right songs for playing live.
I guess it is more personal, you know everyone involved with the label and you get much more attention than you would get with a Major. You also have more control over everything you do and you are better informed about what is going on. So you could say it is much more artist friendly, but I only talk about Tess ; as there are a lot of Indie labels who are not in it for the band/ music but to rip off their artists.
I have learned the lesson not to sign with a major label as I think they are not in it for the music , but for the obvious reason to sell a product which has to sell millions in order for them to be interested in it.It’s very impersonal and it operates as a big multinational. It is frightening to know there are only five major labels dominating the whole music industry.That’s the reason people should give independent companies their full support. Every record we make for an independent label is one step forward.
Whatever you do and where ever you are, you are always influenced by anything you hear, see and feel. No one can block out influences around you. The only thing you can do is trying to be as selective as possible and stick to your taste. During” Phoenix” Xymox was in a real identity crisis. At the time all sorts of people were telling me in what direction the band should go. At the time I was living in London and I think the worst thing of London is that it really wants you to be the hippest of the scene. You can’t help but to get caught in that musical trap. That’s why there is already on Phoenix an indication of moving towards a sort of dance area, which was coming up in the UK in the early 90’s.( Even the Cure got caught with their Mixed Up album) Metamorphosis and Headclouds are just a follow up on that general mood everyone was in. On Headclouds Xymox tried to combine dance grooves with a melancholic sound plus vocals. It was part of an experiment of which we now steered clear of. Personally I find it always interesting if a band tries something different for a change as it is easy to repeat your same sound over and over until people are sick of it. Not too many people appreciate a band changing or trying something different.(see Depeche Mode) After Headclouds I moved back to Amsterdam and had a break from making music and regained my interest by meeting different people, going to Industrial / Gothic parties and basically rediscovered myself again. Now I am sick of anything relating to dance as there is nothing underground about it any more. OK that was then , this is now….In a way I feel like I have come full circle again. Now with the new album “Hidden Faces” the band has returned to it’s roots…
8. I saw you in November in NY- was that part of a full US tour? If so how did it go?
10. Whats in the immediate future for you? We’re still touring our new album Hidden Faces and we are scheduled for festivals, also we will release a new single “This World” on Tess. Further we release on various compilations certain tracks. Also some live dates in the US, Mexico and Canada this fall. |

en | N/A | N/A | While vaporizer pens have a specific function, there are a lot of different names for vape pens, here is a quick list of what people sometimes refer to vape pens as. Don’t worry, all of these names mean the same thing that does the same function. If you don’t have enough vaping experience or don’t treat your vape right, you can get the worst nightmare of a vaper – a dry hit. When the cotton gets burned because of the lack of e-liquid, the cotton wick gets damaged by the heat.
All things considered, these are a few hints that you can use to improve your vaping sessions. From a gentle session to an exceptional one, these tips will have their task to carry out. So, make sure you never overdo the vape as it is dangerous for both the newbies and expert vapers. Airpath – This is the way for the vapor to arrive at the mouthpiece.
The mist vape pen is a small oil and e-liquid vaporizer that gives you the freedom to create your own vaping experience. Mist vape is fitted with an adjustable voltage battery that gives you the freedom to switch between 2.4V, 2.8V, and 3.2V respectively. In addition to the vape case, you may also need an airtight container for your smoking or wax dabs. A dabber and silicone mats will also come in handy when gathering the wax. Many vapers use multi-purpose kits because they allow them to store all the accessories they need for vaping.
Having said, it had some of the qualities and the makings of an ideal modern portable vaporizer. The Loki Touch Vaporizer takes you to the new age of vaping with its touch screen controls and intuitive displays, healthy vapors are now at the touch of your fingertips. The Loki Touch Vaporizer is a dual-purpose vaporizer able to vaporizing various kinds of materials in one compact and able vaporizer. You’re essentially getting two vaporizers for the price of one with the Loki Touch Vaporizer. The Jump vaporizer is super easy to use with its single power button and one temperature setting.
The Most Trusted Vaporizer & Cbd Store In Europe
When it comes to THC desktop vaporizers are usually considered to be the most efficient, but there’s nothing better than vape pens for convenience. Once you’ve decided on the tool you want to use to vape, you need to choose your cannabis. There are, however, dry flower vaporizer pens that use a small amount of cannabis flower. When choosing any cannabis, review the effects of each strain to know whether it’s right for you. If your pen has the ability to use dry herbs, it is necessary to finely grind the herb first.
Neglecting to clean oil residue off of power connections and the 510 thread battery could cause your vape pen to break. Cleaning practices are considerably cheaper than repurchasing high-quality vaporizers and their accessories. One of the common problems with prolonged use of your favorite vaporizer is the lack of consistency in vapor quality despite your good choice of herbs or vaping device. That and other issues come along as your vaporizer ages, and you’ll notice that the flavor you get will not be as good as it was back when your vape was shiny and new. The answer is the ready-to- use availability and convenience.
Truth be told, you don’t have to look very hard to find a disposable e-hookah vape pen. However, finding a regular disposable pen with no nicotine with bare a slight challenge. If you aren’t up for the challenge, and I do mean quite the challenge, and you aren’t wanting to dabble with e-hookah, you do have some options, just not in the disposable market. DaVinci is a brand that is dedicated to providing high-end portable vaporizers.
We promote a healthy lifestyle by connecting wholesaler to retailers and customers, strive to promote not only an elevate way of smoking, but also thinking and living. Each model is designed by our professional R&D team considering eliminating harmful toxins otherwise consumed. Top-level craftsmanship and quality standards applied by Yocan undoubtedly make our product’s first choice in the e-cig industry. One of our bestsellers is the K-STICK, this vape pen is slim and convenient to keep in your pocket. It also comes in various different colors, has a titanium coil with a cotton wick. With 5-star review feedback, you can not go wrong with the K-STICK.
Vaporfi Pro 3 Vape Starter Kit
Start with shorter puffs until you become accustomed to the vaping sensation. Despite these disadvantages, vaping is considered to be one of the safest ways to consume botanical materials. So, you can rest assured that there are no byproducts in a vape. Many see it as a cleaner and viable alternative to traditional smoking because of odor-free finish and tasty flavors. Additionally, it is considered more fashionable and healthier than smoking. When the vape starts to create the vapor, inhale from the mouthpiece.
Before you load up your new herbal vaporizer pen, assemble it and turn the unit on using the method described by the manufacturer. If it has variable heat setting options, set it to the highest temperature. This will help to burn off any residues that were left behind during the manufacturing process to give you a purer vape. The Horizon Falcon Replacement Coils are replacement coils designed for the Falcon Sub-Ohm Tank and produce maximum flavor and vapor production. Each pack of coils comes with three replacement atomizers with vertically oriented coils or mesh. Geezy wax vaporizer needs your attention and care to work long and deliver the most pleasing experience.
The rapid heat-up time of 30 seconds is also great, easily beating industry standards and averages for dry herb vapes, although pen vapes still take the cake in this category.

They offer three different kinds of vaporizers, one of them being the very first launch box that they ever put out onto the market.

en | N/A | N/A | Besides the Burress madness sweeping the city, another question that must be asked revolves around the current group of Giants wide receivers. What is the state of the WR’s already on the roster? That answer is simple, the state of the New York Giants WR’s is strong. Could the team use a proven veteran like Burress for depth on the team? Absolutely. Do they need Burress on the team to define that position? Absolutely not. proven to be perfectly capable of handling the job. Not to mention some young talent with Victor Cruz and the rookie Jerrel Jernigan waiting in the wings for their shot. There are a handful of other WR’s trying to fight for a roster spot as well, so there is no shortage of wide receiver talent on Big Blue.
Many fans have been crunching the numbers and showing QB Eli Manning’s progress with and without Burress on the team. It is nice to see some numbers but I think it goes beyond all of that. There is a ton of data to consider before making a big decision like this. Plaxico Burress will be on an NFL team this season for certain. Hopefully, he doesn’t go to a rival team and play against the G-Men twice per year but if he does, so what? The Giants will deal with it. He won’t be any more of a threat then say DeSean Jackson or Miles Austin. The Giants have a very scary secondary, so I say bring it on. GM Jerry Reese is no fool and if he chooses not to bring back Burress, you can bet he has a very good reason. With all of this being said, I want to make it known that I believe Plaxico deserves another chance in the NFL. I hope he can reunite with Giants. If he doesn’t sign with Big Blue, then I wish him well with his new team. The NFL lockout has now reached 88 days and is actually affording Burress some R&R before he has to get down to business. My advice to Burress is to enjoy it while it lasts and I would like to say good luck to the Giants on having to make a very tough decision. |

I was in a bad car crash a week ago. The frame of my 1999 Camry saved my life. The car was totaled and I won’t be getting much for it. I might be able to add one or two thousand to what I get. I think I might have about $5,000 to $6,000 to spend.
Understandable, my biggest priority is the best car that will protect me in an accident. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Sounds like the Camry proved itself. Why not try to find another one? You probably can’t do much better safety-wise for the $$ you have to spend.

A used Volvo is probably the safest car you will able to afford. But considering your Camry saved your life, why not see if you can get another used Camry in your price range?

So, if your Camry protected you well, you can look forward to even better safety from something newer.
I would suggest that you concentrate on finding a reliable car made in the last 8 years or so, and you should be fine in terms of safety–no matter what make of car it might be.

I’ve had experience with this several times with total loss accidents. Go shopping for your own car ! Go online, clip newspaper ads, go to car lots. Find similar make / model / miles cars similarly equipped and with with low miles like your’s. If you can’t find ones with only 80,000 miles, but the selling price is desirable, then use those and argue the price up because of the difference in miles. Pretend that you are going to replace your Camry with an almost identical car. Get descriptions and selling prices in writing.

I was in your situation when we had a car that was totaled. This was in November of 1995 and the car was a 1988 Ford Taurus. The insurance company of the party that hit the car wanted to settle for $3125. I checked prices in my area for comparable cars and the prices were running between $3800 and $4100. I called the dealer that knew my car and he said that if the car were on his lot, he wouldn’t take less than $4000 for the car.
I had a rather heated discussion with the insurance adjuster. He told me that he had a computer printout that gave “market” value for cars. I told him that market value was what I would have to pay for a replacement. I suggested that he locate an equivalent car at a dealer and get a guaranteed price from the dealer. I told him that I would then either take the car or take the cash. The adjuster then informed me that he did not go shopping. I informed him that if I had to spend my time shopping, I would charge for my time. At that time, I was gettng $150 per hour for consulting work. The adjuster then said, “I don’t have to listen to this crap”, and hung up the telephone. I had a rental car furnished by his company, so I really didn’t care how long it took to settle up. The next day the adjuster called and said, “We have to get together on this car”. I replied, “Young man, I want two things from you: 1) an apology from you for your conduct on the telephone yesterday; and 2) $4000 for the Taurus that your insured party destroyed”. He replied, “I am putting a check in the mail for $4000 today. When you receive the check, send us the title to the Taurus”. He then hung up, so my batting average was .500.

en | N/A | N/A | The ram, Iran, and the prophecy of Daniel.
Will Iran attack its neighbours? - Comment on 2011 February 23ad more:
A week ago, on the 17th of February 2011, the subject of this website was 2011 February 17 – Will Iran push westward? Israel accuses Tehran of provocation and yesterday was the news that Egypt lets Iranian warships pass, that Iranian warships transit Suez Canal towards the Mediterranean.
These news items gave me the impression that Iran may be on the brink of attacking its neighbours and so I had again a look at Daniel 8:4 and there it says:
The three directions towards the ram is going to attack are westward, and northward, and southward. Now this might happen at the same time, that Iran is attacking in three directions at once, but it also could be it first attacks toward the west and only later towards the north and then towards the south.
The first direction mentioned is west and Iran’s neighbour to the west is Iraq and in Iraq a vacuum was created last year by Obama withdrawing the American combat troops from that country and opinions were expressed in Iraq that Iran would exploit that weakness of Iraq to conquer it.
Towards the end of the last millennium Iraq invaded Iran and a bitter, long war followed (1980-1988) and now Iran might feel justified to reciprocate and invade Iraq.
If Iran would occupy Iraq it would have come very close to Israel and could attack Israel in a similar way as Iraq attacked Israel with Scud missiles in the early 1990s.
Another advantage of occupying Iraq would be that Iran has direct access to Syria and so can better support this ally in its effort to wage war against Israel and influencing Lebanon.
A further advantage would be that Iran then sits right at the borders of Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, three countries which now very much try to prevent Iran exporting its political system to their countries.
These three countries now rely on their ally America to protect them and even cooperate with Israel in trying to defend their countries.
So Iran would gain tremendous influence in that region by conquering and occupying Iraq.
The second direction the Bible mentions is north.
Iran’s neighbours in the north are Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan und Turkmenistan.
It does not seem that Iran would have any advantages to attack Turkey. Turkey is a member of Nato and that alone would be enough a reason to stay away from Turkey. Turkey is also known as a country with strong military abilities. The latest development is also that Turkey seems to be moving away from the USA and also from Israel and now supports more the cause of Iran.
The real interesting country for Iran in the north is Azerbaijan. Could Iran occupy Azerbaijan then it would have several advantages. Azerbaijan now blocks the connection between Iran and Russia, a natural ally of Iran. Russia could then have direct access to Iran and support it by land. But the main reason Iran invading Azerbaijan would be that Azerbaijan now is an ally of Israel and much talk has been in the news, especially last year when speculations were rife that Israel might attack Iranian installations, that Israel might launch an attack on Iran from bases in Azerbaijan. So Iran sees Azerbaijan as a direct thread to them.
Iran also tried to export their political system to Azerbaijan but met much resistance there and Azerbaijan is also an important player in the oil extraction and exporting business and Iran’s influence on oil would increase by having control over these resources in Azerbaijan. And having already brought the oil resources of Iraq under their control, Iran would then be even more a major player in the control of world energy.
Now the third direction of attack is south and south of Iran is the Persian Gulf and the Arab Peninsula. And the countries there are very much aware of the thread coming from Iran and are very busy preparing themselves for such an event. The mainline of defence is the east coast and American basis there and Iran might attack via the sea route.
But after having invaded Iraq and having occupied it, Iran has direct access to Saudi Arabia and to Kuwait and therefore indirect access to the rest of the countries of the Arab Peninsular. So Iran could invade Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and then and Qatar and Bahrain. A country like Qatar would not be very much prepared for an assault coming from Saudi Arabia and be in a position like Singapore was in World War II when it was prepared to be attacked by Japan via the sea route, but was not prepared for the Japanese coming from the hinterland.
Having Oman under its control would give Iran much more control over the Strait of Hormuz and therefore over access to the Persian Gulf.
Controlling the Arab Peninsular would also mean to have an important influence on the major shipping route between Europe and Asia, the Red Sea.
So when Iran would occupy Iraq, Azerbaijan and the countries of the Arab Peninsular then Iran would be in control of important parts of Asia and the predominant power in that region but what then would be even more important, would be that it would be in control of much of the energy resources of the world.
Now this picture also illustrates the importance of maintaining the balance of power in that region, and of making sure that Iraq remains free and secure, and even more so this picture illustrates the importance of Obama withdrawing the combat forces from Iraq and so destabilizing the region.
And now the region is even more destabilized by Iran gaining influence through the turmoil in that region and the Islamic movements becoming more powerful in a country like Egypt.
Just this month Iran scored twice: the fall of Mubarak and the passage of its warships through the Suez Canal.
So having the just discussed possibilities in mind, one can imagine how the Iranian government is now, after their recent successes, even more encouraged to pursue an expansive policy and export their ideology.
A major aim of Iran is of course the fight against Israel and that is a cause where it hopes to find support from all Muslim people and expanding their territory in a major way is of course a major thread to Israel and Iran’s attack towards the west, the north and the south might include an attack on Israel. The announcement last week that the Hezbollah leader tells members to be ready for war is a sign that Israel might right from the beginning of Iran’s offensive be one of the targets.
But the above considerations also show that the prophecy of Daniel definitely suits the present situation and it also therefore shows that it can also take place. |

NYC June Webinar: Capital
This event starts on Tuesday June 9th at 11:30 AM EDT.
Topic: Is Capital Sitting on the Sidelines or Eager to go to Work?
Is Money Sitting on the Sidelines or Eager to go to Work? How are bankers and investors looking at the world of deals given the market uncertainty? Go to market, invest or wait? While many M&A deal processes have been shelved and the Delaware courts are filling up with broken-deal cases, particularly those in the hardest-hit industries, bankers are nevertheless pushing forward with deals in less affected or positively impacted industries, and launching processes into this market, and investors remain interested and focused. Investors continue to actively look at deals, and seem willing to accept virtual management presentations rather than waiting for in-person meetings. The panel will discuss their real-time experience navigating through this new (hopefully, temporary) normal.

en | N/A | N/A | Sparkly glitter swirls around in a frenzied state as if someone were shaking it; maybe as if his or her entire existence depended on it. It’s the same as my thoughts and actions as they collide in my head. I live in a frantic frame of mind much of the time.
I let stress overwhelm me so easily. I focus on the circumstances and the negative. I freak out. It’s a terrible thing, I know it. Well, I’m sick of it. I’m tired of living defeated nearly every day. If I already have victory in Jesus, why don’t I live like it?
As I began to think about my life and God’s Word, my mind rested on Philippians 4.
“Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.” (v.6)
“And the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (v.8)
I focused on key words in verse 6 starting with anxious. Worry, uneasiness, nervousness and uncertain about the outcome? Yup, that was currently defining me. Uncertain about the outcome…I’m having some major trust issues with God. I want to control everything and make it “my version” of ok. But seriously, do I really want things to just be ok? Like I’m just surviving life? No way! I want to live in His power! So how am I to fight against the anxiety?
Prayer is the next big word! My prayer life, how’s that doing? It’s definitely not so hot if I’m stressed out all the time. Stressed out…should that even be in a Christian’s vocabulary of someone who lives in the God’s power? Nope! Prayer is the key. This is when I talk to God. It’s such an important aspect of our spiritual walk! Pastor Mike Woodward stated that we should spend more time in prayer than in studying God’s Word! Whoa!! I had never had that thought! I don’t have that down yet, but I’m working on it.
We can’t pray in just any way though. God’s not some genie that grants wishes. He’s someone we must go reverently before. Supplication is next. This can be uncomfortable for some. We must ask or beg in an earnest or humble manner. We come before the King and the Creator of the universe. He is also the Lover of our souls. We need not to think that because He’s so great and awesome that He doesn’t care about what you ask of Him. Don’t just talk to Him about your needs.
We are also commanded to pray with thanksgiving. We must express our gratitude to Him. What has He done? The list can go on! Our salvation, every breath we take and beautiful sight we see all come from our Creator God. Beautiful summer days of sunshine and crispness of autumn are gifts from Him. What about that moment that seems like it was something that was just meant for you? Yup, those were from Him too. I think of them as a little kisses. We must tell Him how grateful we are and how much He means to us.
This…THIS is how we get that peace. I have to take the focus off myself and my circumstances. Are you stressed out? How’s your prayer life? Let’s make commitments to talk consistently with Him! Are you in? |
en | N/A | N/A | Google's not a real company. It's a house of cards.
My favourite shows of the year are House of Cards, the Scandinavian versions of The Killing and The Bridge, and my guilty pleasure is everything MMA. Ultimate Fighter is amazing.
Every plan is a house of cards.
I have more faith in doing something creative for a cable station or something like Yahoo or Google or Amazon. What Netflix did with 'House of Cards' and David Fincher was brilliant. That is inspiring to me. I think there is more chance for creativity in animation, it just hasn't happened there yet.
Sometimes you're doing really well, then, after three or four years, everything inexplicably crashes like a house of cards and you have to rebuild it. It's not like you get to a point where you're all right for the rest of your life.
Years, Four, Rest Of Your Life
I do think this is where television is going, and I think that it's awesome to be a part of a show like this because we are these pioneers into this new medium. And it's working. When you look at the success of House of Cards and Arrested Development, which I love, this is how people are watching television now. It's pretty cool to be a part of this whole thing.
If only I had known a year ago what I'd be facing now. Until last year I lived with the innocent arrogance that my life was a simple product of effort, will, and design. But now I am a house of cards, held precariously by the fragile conspiracy of wind, weight, and angle. Perhaps it is best we cannot see into our futures.
Movies principally require the best of everybody, all at the same time, being the best they can be. Not just like five people being the best they've ever been, and 10 people not being the best they could be. It's like if everybody is either doing their greatest work, or the whole house of cards falls apart.
Fall, People, Being The Best
I believe that I have really found the relationship between gravitation and electricity, assuming that the Miller experiments are based on a fundamental error. Otherwise, the whole relativity theory collapses like a house of cards.

Other than that Jack Lemmon/James Garner movie about ex-presidents, no one's ever done anything in this area, whereas a lot of times, we do a story where someone goes, "Oh, yeah, they did someone sleeping with a Secret Service agent on House of Cards." |

en | N/A | N/A | Need a nostalgia fix? An app that emulates ZX Spectrum games is out now for the iPhone for just 59p, with six games included and plans to make hundreds more available in the future.
Oct. 5, 2010 5:10 a.m. PT
If you're old enough to remember the crackling loading screens of the ZX Spectrum, take off your trousers and put a towel down, because you can now play its pixellated genius on your futuristic iPhone.
For the princely sum of 59p in the iTunes App Store, you can buy the ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection (Vol.1), an application that emulates games from the 8-bit home computer those of us of a certain age dearly know and love. It's already made the top 20 in the Apple top paid apps chart.
The Elite System app has six free games: Turbo Esprit, Saboteur, Frank Bruno's Boxing, Harrier Attack, Buggy Boy and the all-time great Chuckie Egg. The games are officially licensed, with on-screen keyboard buttons for controls. There's also the option to play portrait or full-screen, and the authentic beepy ZX Spectrum sound is present and correct.
The app has been well received, with a four-star average rating from customers so far on iTunes. Elite Systems managing director Steve Wilcox seemed a little taken aback, saying reaction to the app from the media and users was "enthusiastic".
"Our concerns now," he said, "are to ensure that both groups understand that volume 1 of the app is a work in progress, a rough diamond if you like, and that we're committed to developing the app, , over the weeks and months ahead."
Wilcox said Elite Systems was committed to keeping the app at 59p, with six more games added in a free update within a month. Volume 3 will come a month later, with further games purchased from an in-app shop.
It seemed the major problem with emulating the games in the app was sorting out commercial agreements with the developers and publishers involved, with thousands of games available. Wilcox said agreements with publishers meant there were already more than 200 games available in future volumes.
"We're in discussion with the owners of 100s more," he said, "including some of the most well known."
Titles we're particularly looking forward to include Manic Miner, Dizzy, Skool Daze and the peerless Elite, but it might take some time for the more well-known games to come through. Are there any classics you would particularly want to play?

en | N/A | N/A | As the Father has loved us, so has Christ loved us. Continue in my love. What a profound truth--one which we cannot even begin to fathom its depths.
In the years since I have been writing Daily Bible Devotions, I have rarely done this! I have rarely written a devotional using only one verse. However, I was so struck by this verse, that I decided to overlook my normal writing style. What caught my attention was the simple pattern taught in this one verse, which we would do well to follow!
1. As the Father loved me.
2. I have loved you.
3. Continue in my love.
Talk about succinct! If you have ever struggled with God's will for your life, this is it! I know, it just cannot be that simple, can it? But, wait a minute--what is simple about these three points? profound rather than simple.
How has the Father loved Jesus? Where was the Father during Jesus' entire earthly ministry? Right by His side. He so planned Jesus' steps that not one hair of His head was disturbed until it was time for Jesus, Himself, to give up His life.
How has Christ loved us? Is there even any question? Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, left all of heaven's glory to come to this earth and live as a lowly carpenter, and die a cruel death, with only one goal driving Him through His earthly days. He was here to show us the Father, and to save us from our headstrong race to eternal death. Everything He did was in obedience to the Father and for our salvation.
Now, what is our part? Our part is to continue! We are to continue in Christ's love. What does that mean? Was Christ selfish--did He live this life just for His glory? Of course not, and neither should we. We are here to share Christ; the world is not our home, and we need to quit living as though it is!
I know, those are rather severe words coming from me, but I cannot help but think that the time is short. The end of time is fast approaching, and we need to seriously consider what we have done with the talents that God has given to us. Have we multiplied them, or have we buried a hole in the sand and put them there for "safe" keeping until the Lord returns.
Today, I offer you one charge. |

en | N/A | N/A | The unexplored solution to energy sustainability
Tareq Ahmed Robin and Eusha Rahman | Published: November 05, 2020 20:37:53
The impressive GDP growth over the last decade, thanks to a significant industrial expansion during this period, has raised energy demand in Bangladesh. To address this increasing demand, Bangladesh has followed the conventional path of focusing mostly on increasing power generation capacity. Though the solution to increasing energy demand should be a comprehensive approach of increasing power generation capacity, considering renewable energy solutions and most importantly, addressing the energy efficiency. It would be a difficult road ahead for Bangladesh, if it does not incorporate energy efficiency at a broader level at all applicable sectors. Because both cost effective energy solutions and environment friendly industrial growth highly depend on it.
In line with the vision of boosting industrial growth and bringing most of the population under electricity access, in 2009, the government took several initiatives and adopted new policies regarding the power and energy sector. These initiatives are the key contributors to take the installed generation capacity from 5,272 Megawatt (MW) in 2009 to 20,618 MW in 2020. According to the Power Sector Master Plan (PSMP) 2016, electricity generation would stand at 24,000 MW in 2021, 40,000MW in 2030 and 60,000MW in 2041. Though the recent study by CDP has shown that the overcapacity of power generation would be a serious concern if the existing PSMP plan is not revised going forward. According to the study, the overcapacity of Power generation will be 47 per cent considering the power requirement as per their models. This demands a strong drive from the policymakers to reassess the PSMP current plan and remodel the plan as per the new socio-economic scenario.
However, this scenario is not a rare phenomenon in developing countries because they always take the traditional path of increasing power generation capacity. The alternative ways of meeting the demand through better planning, improving energy efficiency have rarely been seriously thought of. Also, the generation capacity, in many cases reflects higher than the actual case on the ground because many plants are running at lower efficiency than they are shown. Additionally, whatever source of fuel is considered (gas, coal or fuel), without energy efficiency measures in place, the total per unit energy cost cannot be sustained at a compatible industrial level. That is why these days energy efficiency is considered as the fourth fuel.
Energy Efficiency is a comprehensive approach and demands a combined effort in terms of adopting policy and guidelines as well as developing functional institutions to implement and monitor across the different sectors of energy consumers. Like a few other developing countries, Bangladesh had also taken initiatives to address this issue and developed Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan 2030been assigned with the job to implement the master plan. One of the key objectives of this master plan is to help the government improve energy intensity (national primary energy consumption per gross domestic product/GDP) in 2030 by 20 per cent compared to the 2013 level.
A total of 95 million toe or 113 billion m3 of gas equivalent is expected to be saved in the period. Energy savings will amount to BDT 768 billion in total, or an annual average BDT 51 billion at the current price. At a time when our national gas reserve is decreasing, and imported energy costs are imposing more burden on all the stakeholders, cost-saving through energy efficiency steps can be a game-changer. SREDA has already implemented different programmes like Energy Audit and consumption reporting, Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS), Low investment loan for EE&C Investment, Green Purchase program for ECO-Friendly Public Procurement, Carbon abatement project as capacity development etc. These programmes have brought some changes, but with the current capacity in terms of resource and technical expertise, it is a real challenge for SREDA to get a significant change in energy efficiency.
One of the significant barriers in improving energy efficiency at industrial level is the mindset of procuring capital machinery, considering only immediate capital expenditures rather than doing the project cost analysis on a life cycle basis. For example, both gas engines and gas turbines can be procured with a lower capital investment if the efficiency of the machines is compromised. To address this issue, financial support through banks and institutions should be provided to the investors if the project planning is developed through energy efficiency modelling considering life cycle based costing.
A few years back in a joint study by World Bank and GTZ , it was shown that as much as 7 per cent of the total gas could be saved if new Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plants for base-load and state-of-the-art gas turbines for peaking purpose are adopted by replacing old and inefficient power plants. Though slow in implementation, the government has taken such initiative in line with the advice from the World Bank. The study also suggested that by rehabilitating old power plants, 2-3 per cent of the total supplied gas can be optimised. The older coal-based power plants should again go under the rehabilitation programme for improving efficiency. Though the new coal-based power plants like 1200 MW Matarbari coal-fired power plant which is under construction for Coal phas addressed the issue of energy efficiency; and by adopting the Ultra Super Critical Technology (USCT), the plant will have a 41.99 per cent efficiency against the average 34 per cent.
From the consumers' point of view, energy efficiency will directly help reduce long term costs and achieve global accreditations to explore global markets and joint venture investments. Be it a fertiliser industry or textile, machines like boilers, motors, steam turbines etc., are quite common, and a well-designed factory facility always . Introducing Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) by utilising waste heat from the engines, can be another way of increasing efficiency for the industries which are producing captive power through natural gas. It is to be acknowledged that the idea of cogeneration is more familiar to the industry owners due to the new regulations related to energy efficiency by ths. But the effectiveness of the cogeneration system needs to be improved to have a better result. A current energy consumption assessment and ongoing study will help the management to identify the top priorities where small scale investments will enable them to extract the benefits of energy efficiency. These studies by the investors should be conducted with the real intention of improving energy efficiency rather than to produce a report for financial and audit institutions.
To make a nationwide impact, residential energy usage-- which is around 30 per cent of the total consumption-- should also have to go through several performance driven programmes. The new BNBC guideline has adopted such policies like mandatory solar power system for a specific category of structures, improved metering system, energy-efficient lighting system etc. Slowly but surely, these regulations have started to deliver some fruits.
Energy efficiency is not only about optimising fuel and saving costs. It has a broad based impact on the environment. Reducing carbon emission is directly linked to efficiency improvement. Hence, introducing energy efficiency from a broader perspective and incorporating all stakeholders under the same umbrella with better functionality and ensuring the implementation of the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Master Plan 2030 (EECMP) should be among national top priorities. Also, it is to be mentioned that the energy sector, industrial growth, environmental changes and technology-- all the essential components continuously change with time; and reviewing the EECMP with experts and bringing necessary changes with continually changing relevant energy components should be done regularly.

Limbaugh and other critics also saw a possible conspiracy in the fact that a documentary based on the book opened roughly at about the time the book was pulled. That, said Jelinek, is “unequivocally not true. The book was brought in to Costco to sell. It didn’t sell well.

en | N/A | N/A | I'm still trying to find space in my stash for some of my new sock summit goodies! One of my new books, Toe-Up! by Chrissy Gardiner, I just love and have had it out all week!
Did you know that the lovely Neuroknitter did all the photography in the book?
That's right! I got her autograph :)
Chrissy's socks are gorgeous, but combined with Neuroknitter's photography....well, its absolute perfection!! I just love looking at the pictures! Here's my favorite....
I even have some lovely Plucky Knitter Superwash in the colorway Pumpkin Latte that will work perfectly! Oh, pumpkin....is it fall yet?!
Well, as you'll see from these next few goodies, my new stash feels like fall! I can't blame Neuroknitter for these acquisitions entirely, but we certainly enabled each other as we shopped the Marketplace at Sock Summit!
Wool Candy, Meringue Merino Sock, colorway Microbrew (can you just see the post Neuroknitter is going to do with this colorway... oh yes, she got this colorway too!!)
Hazel Knits, a limited edition sock summit colorway....love!!
And Briar Rose Fibers. A gorgeous skein of Grandma's Blessing. I just can't wait to knit this up!
I tried to stick with unique yarns that I had not yet tried or with colorways that I was going to knit up soon! No more sitting in the stash forever....or at least that's the hope! I still have a few purchases left to show you, but we'll save that for another day!
Here's to a happy weekend!! This will be my first weekend sleeping in my own bed both nights since the first weekend in July!! I've loved all my summer travels, but sometimes, its just good to be home. I'm actually looking forward to cleaning and organizing a bit. And knitting. Lots of knitting.

Couldn't agree with you more about Chrissy Gardiner's book. I think it is an "instant classic", and a must-have for sock knitters. The pretty, sophisticated patterns are just icing on the technical cake!
August 23, 2009 at 6:52:00 PM PDT
Wow! Nice colors. I love all of your pictures and stories about the sock summit!!! I wish I could visit it! Knitting is getting quit popular in the Netherlands but not nearly as popular as in the US. I've been to several places and on several campsites in France but I haven't seen anyone knitting for over 3 weeks! I was the only one and some people seemed to look at me with compassion!?!
August 24, 2009 at 4:28:00 AM PDT
Love that pumpkin yarn! I'll have to snag that book sometime soon.
August 24, 2009 at 7:14:00 AM PDT
I hope you had a great weekend (and a great mani/pedi) and got lots of knitting done!
August 24, 2009 at 4:24:00 PM PDT
Thank you, thank you, thank you...I'm beet red from the super-sized blush you and your kind readers invoked!! :)

en | N/A | N/A | Join Sea World on a fascinating adventure to view whales in their natural environment. You will see Humpback Whales, as well as have the chance to see dolphins, sharks, turtles and albatross on this luxurious, eco-friendly cruise, which includes an unbelievable on-board whale theatre experience!
Sea World's Whale Watch – which is located on the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland – brings you so much more than most other whale watching companies. Their purpose built, three-level $3.5 million vessel, Spirit of Migloo, offers a luxurious day out to its passengers. The first class seating, huge air conditioned open interior, walk around decks and large tinted windows mean you will be cruising in style and comfort. Even more exciting though, are the one of a kind Real-Time 3D Virtual Tour map displays, live whale song via underwater microphones and a selection of amazing custom-designed 3D whale movies that are used by the tour guides to introduce you to the amazing world of whales!
After boarding, you will enjoy the spectacular views while helping the crew to spot the whales, who usually indicate they are near by splashing around and 'blowing' out of their blowholes. Once these majestic creatures have been spotted, the Captain will maneuver the Spirit of Migloo to within a safe viewing distance, and you will be able to see the gorgeous Humpback Whale in full glory. These truly amazing mammals are so impressive to see up close, that you will never forget your experience. Don't forget your camera though, because you will want to share your adventure with others!
Sea World Whale Watch are so confident in their whale finding abilities that they will provide a 100% refund if you don't get to see a whale on the day.
Hi Jean, the Sea World Whale Watch cruise is about 2.5 hours long but we suggest you allow 3 hours.
How long does the actual Whale Watching tour last for?
Hi Darren, yes Whale Watching in the Gold Coast is seasonal with the season operating from June - October.
Hi Matt, the Gold Coast Sea World Whale Watch tour goes into open water and the sea conditions vary each day. If you are prone to sea sickness then i would recommend you speak to a pharmacist before your tour. There are wrist straps and natural ginger motion sickness remedies available to buy at the check in terminal, however if you need stronger medication you will need to visit a pharmacy.

Many people that are prone to sea sickness do go on this tour and are fine provided they take their usual remedies.
How many people are taken on each tour?
Hi Kerry, the maximum number of passengers the Sea World Whale Watch boat can take is 130 passengers. |
en | N/A | N/A | Flea Bites on Babies happen. These tend to be diminutive parasites, which live on organic matter. These pests are frequently to be found in the outdoors where they like to hang on grass. This definitely implies that they can very easily be able to jump onto any warm blooded creatures that stumble across their domains. As such, pets are usually the most common channel by which fleas can intrude a home. At this juncture, it is very important to note that these parasites can particularly pose a great danger to infants.
What are the signs of Flea Bites on Babies?
1 What are the signs of Flea Bites on Babies?
This means you will have to take him or her to your physician for a good dose of antibiotics treatment. Even worse, flea bites have been known to give rise to allergic reactions in babies. This is especially the case, if your child should be allergic to certain types of protein, which are present in the saliva of these vermin. In such circumstances, the skin of your baby will begin to get covered with a suspicious halo of red and swollen spots.
Babies like nothing better than lying or even crawling on floors that might perhaps be infested with fleas; they are naturally more prone to these bites than older children and adults. Also, like it was earlier stated, these parasites very frequently find their way into homes through pets. If this is the case in your particular predicament, when your child fondles these creatures, the fleas can easily jump onto his or her body. Generally speaking, you can start to see suspiciously red blotches on the skin of your infant, much sooner than later when this occurs. But just how can you comprehensively determine if those on your baby are attributable to these vermin?
To begin with, the blotches on your child’s skin will tend to be diminutive and clustered in groups of 2 or 3 bites. They will as well be much more conspicuous around the joints such as on the knees and ankles of your baby. Once again, it is vital to mention that flea bites can easily get infected when your child scratches or opens the surrounding areas of the given bites. One of tsuch infections is to make sure you always trim your baby’s nails. You should also make it a point to thoroughly wash the affected skin with soapy water. Finally, you can make use of cold presses to reduce the swelling and irritability of flea bites.
The moment you are completely sure that your home is indeed infested with these parasites to deal with them. However, most of the methods of eliminating fleas can too often be dangerous to the health and well-being of your baby. First of all, most anti flea pesticides that are currently available in the market, normally contain toxic formulations, which your child can accidentally ingest. At the same time, there are others which can leave traces of harmful substances in their formulations on your furniture or home’s floors. Like it was previously noted, these are the particular areas where your child might like to crawl or play at, and contact with these toxins can be dangerous to them. Still, here are some of the means in your power that you can use to dis-embarrass yourself from a flea infestation in your home.
To begin with, if you seriously suspect that the infestation is widespread, it will be very prudentefore giving them a go ahead, first take all the necessary time you need, to discuss with their representatives all the various options, which might be laid out for you. Always make sure you get a clear assurance that the chemicals they will use cannot in any way pose any danger to your baby. Also, make sure you first determine if it is safe for your child to remain in the house during the treatment process. Once you have gathered satisfactory answers to these crucial queries, then you can let the professionals do their job.
It has already been severally mentioned that pets are the most common conduit for fleas as well as other vermin of this kind into homes. So, always be extremely vigilant of your family pets at all times to ensure they don’t introduce these parasites into your homeingle, easily cleanable area of your home. This particular region should possess a hard floor, where fleas will have a hard time finding crevices to breed and lay their eggs. Finally, make restrictions for your pets venturing into the bed or crib of your baby.
These parasites normally come from nearby drains or even garbage lots where they find their nourishment. If this proves to be stressful for you, you can find someone willing to do it for a fee.
On a parting shot, to totally eliminate the presence of fleas, their eggs and even larvae in your home, ensure you vacuum the floors and bedding on a regular basis. Finally, make it a point to thoroughly wash the bedding and clothes of your child at least once per week with hot water and a strong detergent. This will allow you to get rid of those fleas and their eggs, which your vacuum might have missed. So, you can prevent flea bites on your baby. |

en | N/A | N/A | Hi, I’m Jennifer Lee; an intern from the recruitment department. Since the very beginning (when I applied for the internship and researched the company), I’ve known that DriveTime is the type of company that I would love to work for one day. The application process was simple somebody would always be in contact with me through email or phone with a friendly and patient response. My interviewers made me feel comfortable and welcomed through my interview and once I received the call that I made it in, I couldn’t help but scream in excitement.
For almost the whole first week of the internship, we were told what kind of company DriveTime is. We got to drive as a group over to the different locations of the company, such as the headquarters, an auction where cars are bought, an Inspection Center, a dealership, and the Mesa Operations Center (where I work) to see firsthand what DriveTime does and how they do things.
A unique aspect of DriveTime is that the whole company is a relationship-based company. This is illustrated through the energetic and positive vibe that every employee gives off which reverberates throughout the whole company, creating the amazing atmosphere that DriveTime thrives in.
A unique aspect of the internship program at DriveTime is that from beginning to end, you are extremely involved. You don’t feel like just an intern (doing only busy work like coffee runs and printing things out), because the people in the department make you feel like one of them; which may include having a similar workload as a typical employee, depending on the department. This allows you to really see what it would be like to work at this company.
It’s only been a few weeks, and I’ve learned so much from this internship already. Not just about DriveTime itself, but about working as part of the backbone of a big company. I learned that there are many, many aspects on the inside including recruiters, customer service, loan advisors, accountants, IT and marketing just to name a few. And on the outside there are sales advisors, general managers, salesmen, maintenance technicians and so on working to make DriveTime a successful company.
Because I’ve been working as a recruiter, I’ve been able to assess and observe the many different positions and qualifications to work for this company. This has allowed me to see that although it’s complicated to keep a big company up and advancing (because so many pieces are necessary); it’s not as bad if all of the positions work together. This is what DriveTime does, and this is why everybody likes working at this company. I have asked numerous employees how they like working here, and everybody has unanimously stated that they love it. |

Darren Pauli writes at the Register that researchers who scanned 900 Windows libraries have uncovered a variety of security functions that were updated in Windows 8 but not in Windows 7. Researcher Moti Joseph speculates Microsoft had not applied fixes to Win 7 to save money. "Why is it that Microsoft inserted a safe function into Windows 8 [but not] Windows 7? The answer is money. ... and s," Joseph said in a presentation at the Troopers14 conference.
Joseph along with Marion Marschalek developed a diffing (comparison) tool dubbed DiffRay which compares Windows 8 with 7, and logs any safe functions absent in the older platform. In a demonstration of DiffRay, the re (Youtube). Future work will extend DiffRay's capabilities to find potential vulnerabilities in Windows 8.1 (PDF), add intelligence to trace input values for functions and incorporate more intelligent signatures used to find potential holes. "If we get one zero-day from this project, it's worth it," says Joseph.

You should pay Microsoft for a support contract. Seriously. Microsoft doesn't owe you free support forever.
Monetary compensation for services rendered, it's how an economy works, jerks.
you're so right... they agree to 5 years free for residential, 10 years free for business... now if they'd only use some of that money every win7 owner has paid to fix they bugs they are supposed to have then we could all go away happy.
Until then, Fuck you M$ I'm still dealing with bugs from office 2003 era which I'm pretty sure haven't been addressed even in 2010. it's another grab to get customers onto win8 upgrade treadmill so they can claim it is a success.
Hey you know what. Linux distributions have even shorter support schedules. And why? Because those Linux distributors want you on that treadmill consuming the new releases, that's why.
If you feel Debian's charging you too much for each release, you can always try a rolling-release distro. You only pay $0 once and get unlimited security updates for life, unlike those assholes that expect you to pay $0 for each version.
If you like paying for support ("having someone to blame"), there's RedHat and its ~10 years of support for releases.
What portion of the computer-using public continues to use ONE computer (hardware) for 10 years--much less the same version of the same OS?
With my -not- ditching hardware due to boredom with it (or at the first sign of trouble) and only abandoning stuff after it is completely unrepairable with easily-substitutable pieces, you'd be correct to assume that I've gone through several OSes on each of my rigs.
In the big picture, I'm pretty sure that guys like me/us who keep their old stuff running are -not- so common.
Don't fix it, Feature it!

score 2 funny huh? some people with mod points just shouldn't. this post is like someone trying to be Futurama's Bender, but without a valid point
How would you feel to receive advices on the appropriate way to spend your wage?
Society and the government already does that :) doesn't mean I have to listen though. if it's a second account being used to mod up an inane comment then there is something wrong with that, if someone actually found it funny... well ok, I feel a little sorry for the modder... thanks, now I'm sad.
When younger, I used to have a name for the symptoms you just exposed above: hypoalcoholemia syndrome a.k.a. "too high concentration of blood in alcohol for far too long".
If it helps you, trust me... I know for sure it is not the case this time.
Good luck... I hope it helps.
Do owners of ten year old GM cars with defective ignition switches have to pay to get the switches replaced? Patches and security updates are actually recalls of defective products. Microsoft is flipping its paying customers the bird.
SOFTWARE IS NOT A SERVICE! Neither is a product recall. This is almost as irresponsible as their dropping support for 25% of the computers on the internet.
If Joe Sixpack gets a trojan, then he needs to take it to someone like Hairyfeet and pay for service. If he gets a drive-by virus or worm without having to click "I agree" than Microsoft should fix it free; it's their fault Joe got infected. And when all those XP computers are a giant botnet that takes the whole internet down, the irresponsibility belongs solely to Microsoft.
BTW, I ran across a hack [pcworld.com] that makes Microsoft think your XP computer is an ATM will happily supply upgrades.
There is no excuse whatever for hardware outliving its software.
SOFTWARE IS NOT A SERVICE!
Real estate is not a service, either -- unless you rent. Same with software.
oooh... it pretends to be an ATM... smart move. I didn't bother reading the articles about the hack as they made it sound like they were repurposing win7 updates to use in XP, this makes a hell of a lot more sense.
sweet, I'll be installing ~50 ATM's at work tomorrow.
I don't think I'll do that to my XP computer (but of course, you won't have the luxury I do since they're company computers). I'll just install Linux dual-boot and remove all the Windows networking components. Then I can use the one program I have that needs XP, and Linux can read and write to the Windows partition, so for moving files I'll just boot into Linux.
Right now it's seldom turned on. When I need to move a file I just disconnect the cable feed to the router first, turn on the XP PC, move the file, shut the XP PC down and reconnect the cable.
Another corporation putting profit above product. That is kinda their legal duty you know.
So pay them. Make it profitable for them to improve their product to meet your standards. What's that? You don't want to pay? Guess what then. You're the problem.
For workstations... building one from components is a matter of 4-5 hours, the doxing (the compatibility and bang-4-the-buck components) and travel to the component supplier included. I surely don't want to be a burden for the poor-poor MS.
Every time I'm buying a laptop (happens approx once every 3-4 years), I pick one "on sale" (both "Boxing day" and "end of FY" are good times of the year), wipe clean whatever the OEMs install from MS and ...
install - as recommended by TFS - a higher operating system: Linux (other options exist).
As MS is already paid by the OEM, it's their (OEM and MS) problem, see?
Putting profit above product is actually not a legal duty of corporations (more specifically their officers and directors). The last time I looked at legal guidelines prepared for corporate directors and officers there was nothing there about holding profit sacrosanct above all other considerations. It's not on the list of things they are supposed to do. It's simply not a legal requirement.
The article is lacking in details. It is written as if a security hole was closed in Windows 8, but left open in Windows 7. Yet, the closest we come to a description is a change is that a "security function" was added to Windows 8.
Like this is actually a new function. Only software written to use new funcitons are going to see any advantage of them. So even if MSFT had added those functions to Windows 7, it wouldn't magically have maid your software more secure anyway, unless you update all the software that uses the less safe versions of those functions. And how many of those are going to get updates in the first place? If this is new functions, they are likely only going to be of use for new software.
Besides, if (as it appears), this is a new safer version of one of the str*cpy functions, anyone who cares is going to have their own preferred safe versions anyway (OpenBSD reportedly have some really good ones, and being BSD, anyone can grab those), they are not required to use the OS provided ones. And anyone who doesn't care is going to use strcpy regardless of what the OS provides.
To just dump microsoft. Don't use anything output by Redmond, ever. When you do that, the non-security of windows becomes a non-issue for you.
Remember, microsofts true reason for being is to get you to pay them more money. If you are tired of handing over your money to them, then just quit using their stuff - problem solved.
This doesn't appear to be about patching at all; if I understood the (scant) featured article correctly, what happened here is that MS didn't bother to backport certain new "safe" versions of shell API functions to win7. Big deal. If the "safe" parachute-happy versions of various c functions that MS added to the CRT in past years are any indicator this just reeks of a feel good measure anyway.

Animal studies again support that biologics might prove useful. Desai and colleagues [88] performed laparoscopic PEH repair using porcine SIS on six canines with histologic analysis at 1 year. They found no clinical evidence for dysphagia or weight loss and histologically noted good reinforcement of the hiatus and circumferential ingrowth of connective tissue and skeletal muscle into the graft, concluding the graft may act as a scaffold for tissue ingrowth and does not lead to erosion. The initial clinical report of PEH repair supplemented with a biologic mesh was by Oelschlager and colleagues [78], who described the use of SIS in nine patients as a feasibility study.
These are extreme examples of type II or type III hernias and manifest from the same process.

en | N/A | N/A | Domestic Violence: Literary Review
emotional/psychological, physical, sexual and economic. Such abuse can occur within
married, separated and divorced relationships or among single people living together or
simply dating one another. Many enduring and dysfunctional aspects contribute to the
the context of the ongoing relationship. Of all the crimes reported to the British Crime
Survey in 2000, more than 1 in 20 was classified as domestic violence. </s> Gun Control, Red Flag Laws and POTUS
If Hillary had won the 2016 election, we can assume we would be seeing even more mass shootings until society became overwhelmed enough to demand the government “do something” about all those guns. That appears to be part of the Left’s “plan.”
During these same years there was a total of 309,494 people killed in motor vehicle accidents, approximately 33,000/year. [3] This does not include people who were injured but not killed.
In just 2019, there have, so far, been 293 gun-related homicides in the city of Chicago alone. [4] More people have been gunned to death in Chicago in one year (and 2019 is not over yet), than over several years of mass shootings.
The newest form of gun control is found in what are referred to as Red Flag Laws. These laws would essentially strip people of their right of due process. All it would take would be someone to petition a judge to remove a person’s legally owned guns for “fear” that the accuser believes the individual might be either a harm to him/herself or others.
California is stepping way ahead of the game in this. It has just been reported that the state of California, led by Darrel Steinberg (D), who spent years in the California legislature, then mayor of Sacramento, wants to confiscate many guns. You can read the article from David Harris, Jr. and decide for yourself if California has seriously crossed over into Orwellianism, but here’s a snippet:
Harris goes onto outline all the things this new legislation plans on dealing with and you’ll notice clearly that not one of these things will keep criminals or mentally incompetent from gaining access to guns. In fact, criminals and gangbangers in the once golden state are probably celebrating because they know it’ll be easier for them to do the crimes they commit without having to worry about semi-automatic rifles used against them.
While we’ve come to expect this type of anti-second amendment from the Left, what is disheartening is whenspeaks of his support for Red Flag laws or intones that yes, something must be done about our “gun” problem..
The sad fact of the matter is that guns do exist. They are everywhere in society. The mass shooters are, by and large, people who have severe mental problems and those issues need to be addressed.
Society has a problem. It is not the gun. It is the person whose warped view of life and death causes them to do what they do. In England, knife and acid attacks, along with vehicular assaults are up by a large percentile. Guns are extremely difficult to obtain legally in the UK, yet gun-related crimes still occur.
Yet, in spite of the increase in deadly violence from insane people as well as Islamists, our politicians want to take away guns from average law-abiding citizens because we “might” do something. The only thing I and millions of other law-abiding citizens will do is assaults by crazy people in society. Those people don’t care because they don’t think straight. There is something desperately wrong with them for which they are receiving no help |

en | N/A | N/A | This piece examines the potential or estimated cost of a ransomware attack and weighs that against the option of adding a tertiary backup to the cloud as a means for ransomware recovery or response.
PurpleSec noted t0 in early 2019, which includes the cost of the ransom, downtime, and remediation.
FinTech News reported the average ransomware payment rose 33 percent from Q4 2019 to Q1 2020, to reach $111,605.
In late 2020, Coveware reported average ransom payments were up $233,817 (median payments were over $110,000). This number decreased in Q4 2020 because fewer organizations paid extortion demands (average payments were $154,108)organizations that paid the ransom is almost $1.4 million, but the average cost for organizations that didn't give in to ransom demands is roughly half that figure, coming in at $732,000. The primary reasons for the higher costs of paying include ransom costs plus recovery costs, being targeted again as a willing payer, and experiencing issues with decryption keys.
Fully 84 percent of companies surveyed had cybersecurity insurance, but 36 percent of these policies did not cover ransomware attacks.
The private sector is compromised and targeted more than the public sector.
0 billion globally by 2021. It also predictsby 2021. No costs per attack are predicted, however.
The Sophos report shows ransomware trends by way industries most affected. (see Figure 1).
Those findings demonstrate that all organizations are potentially susceptible, but the entertainment, technology and energy sectors are those most targeted.
Since most ransomware is paid by cryptocurrency, examining the payments to suspicious/noted ransomware cryptocurrency addresses are useful as well. In the Chainalysis Crypto Crime Report from early 2021, blockchain analysis showsfrom 2019-2020,cy payments (see Figure 2).
Term length: Most tertiary/auxiliary backups have between 30 and 90 days of total retention time.
Performance: These backups should be carefully orchestrated to perform backups on a daily schedule and avoid any “continually open” network ports or services that could be exposed to a ransomware attacker.
Include only immediately sensitive or valuable data. We suggest being highly selective about what data is replicated. Alignment with business continuity and recovery efforts are recommended.
A tertiary backup to the cloud could make sense depending on your organization and its risk tolerance.
The cost of ransomware varies, and although this may skew to the lower end of the scale for most organizations and a smaller number of very high ransom demands impact the average, the true cost has the potential to impact the business from a security and financial standpoint.
Paying the ransom can increases costs due to a wide variety of externalhow much consulting and other additional resources required.
The ransomware problem is getting worse. A wide variety of industries are impacted by ransomware, the number and severity of attacks is expected to increase, and trends in cryptocurrency payments seem to show a higher propensity to pay ransoms. |
en | N/A | N/A | As of writing, Chappelle has not commented on the controversy surrounding his new special — and there might be a reason for that.,” he continued.
In his 2017 Netflix special, Equanimity, Chappelle opened up about receiving a letter from a fan who was upset about a joke he’d made about transgender people in one of his performances. While he did not explicitly apologize, he expressed regret for hurting the fan’s feelings.
“I don’t think I did anything wrong. But we’ll see,” he said in the program.
More than a handful of comedians have taken up for Chappelle’s latest stand-up.
Most recently, Sarah Silverman said in a Sept. 16 interview with The Los Angeles Times that she “loved” the program.
“There were things in it that I did not like. But has there been a special you love and agree with across the board? That’s comedy: You overstep. You say things you might not even believe by the time it comes out. You’re always changing. It’s art. It’s not politics,” she said. |

Ie.
Of course not. That was part of the big exception list I had written in my very first post (including unable to finance a child, mental health problems, physical risks involved in the pregnancy (mother may die), abusive environment (drugs, violence, assault), etc.)
The only reason you shouldn't be allowed to abort really is if you were irresponsible. What constitutes irresponsible? Not using birth control methods, esp. condoms (when they are readily available at clinics for free). That's pretty much saying, "I might get pregnant, but whatever. I'm consenting to sex and I know what may happen." The risk is acknowledged when birth control is not used; the woman then acknowledges the risk and should risks i.e. conception and giving birth. Adoption is always an option after that point.
And for Livewire, the "hook" is a small insert that some women choose to use long-term. It's inserted into the uterus where, to my understanding, it removes the lining where an embryo would otherwise implant itself. This causes even fertilized eggs to disintegrate because they cannot latch onto the side of the uterus. It is not painful, from what I've heard, and few people experience complications from the implant itself. The name itself is very crude for the topic, though. Just think of it as disrupting the lining, thus disabling pregnancies to occur. Kinda like how pills disrupt hormone levels and reduce the chance of becoming pregnant; same idea, but the "hook" lasts long-term.
I already acknowledged, too, that some of these methods cost a bit, but if you can't afford it, you should be reassessing sex altogether. That said, telling teenagers to not have sex is like telling bees not to collect honey or the waves not to crash and disturb the sand. It's going to happen anyway. That's where the government should come in and reassess how they finance birth control for teenagers, young adults, etc. and make it more accessible so that abortions do not have to occur due to being irresponsible (at least, not as often).
Also, the two parties involved - male and female - are responsible for their actions, and as I've mentioned before, if one or the other doesn't want to use protection properly, a) the act should not be committed, b) whoever is being immature needs to grow up before engaging in sex, or c) if none of the above, maybe reconsider the relationship altogether. IMO a woman or a man who is not honest about birth control or who purposefully avoids it / does not want to use it, and they know that it is not the time to become pregnant / father a child or that the other individual does not want to be pregnant / father a child, then whoever is thinking of being irresponsible by avoiding contraceptive - the man or the woman - has noI've heard of men who don't use contraceptive on purpose and the woman falls pregnant. That's a common story, but there's the other side of the coin: the woman wants to get pregnant but the man doesn't want to father a child. I have a family member who pulled a stunt on her significant other, saying she was on the "pill" but wasn't, and she got pregnant against the other person's wishes. Why should he be responsible for it when he was but a sperm donor, really? All these stories about "Boohoo daddy's not paying support." My mother never paid my dad support for her four kids - two were his, and two were my mother's (one the result of cheating)! It's an uncommon story, a single father raising the kids, but it should still receive the same attention. I hate all this "victim" stuff some moms pull. Like someone else said, I think the matter is extremely sexist and biased in favour of the mother. The father has no rights / is of no importance.
Anyway. Maybe roaming a bit off-topic.
Basically,methods of contraceptive out there, some of which are free. School, the Internet, youth groups, etc. are sources of information, if needed. A woman has 100% the right to abort if she was raped, cannot financially support the child, is under eighteen years of age (hand-in-hand with finances, really), is homeless, is mentally unfit, or the pregnancy risks to hurt or kill the mother during the term / at birth. The government should protect the foetus' rights in the case where basically, the woman or man decided to not use contraceptive and conceive, looking to abortion as a last-minute contraceptive. Thse cases, unless they fall under the above categories (not a legal adult (<18), unfit, homeless... Read list ^). Also, I don't find any of this to be rude, impolite or offensive. I'm not a man instructing women how to use their bodies; I am a woman who shares a common viewpoint about it, even lenient about circumstances. You (& your significant other) didn't use the information given / use contraceptive / visit the clinic for free condoms. You (& your significant other) screwed up. Yhe result. On a perhaps unscaled point, if you fail a test because you didn't study, then sucks to be you; deal with it because you're at fault for that. You didn't ask questions, study, or do your homework. The two scenarios are incomparable in "degree," but hold the same moral at the end: if you mess up, take responsibility. Doesn't matter what it is. You're accountable. Just a hard way to learn a life lesson.
Also, tossing this in there: I don't judge women who choose to abort. I have no right to judge them. I can have my own opinion, and I can voice it (not to her face particularly, because it might hurt her feelings). I'd be friends with anyone, pro-choice or whatever. Doesn't matter to me. It won't change how I feel about the topic lol and I won't try to change their standpoint because they have every right to their opinion, just as you guys do. All I'm doing is explaining how I see it and in no way am I preaching or targeting anyone, telling them they're bad people or w/e because of their choice / having aborted / anything I just have a strong opinion that conflicts with others', and that's OK. Just proves my point from earlier that there can never be abortion laws or "limits" that appeals to or pleases everyone. |
en | N/A | N/A | Weight/ Clothes: The bump continues to grow of course and I'm looking and feeling VERY pregnant for the most part lately. My face continues to get rounder, but what else can you expect with weight gain. It's all for a good cause when you're growing a baby (at least that's what I'm telling myself, so humor me)!
It is so funny to see the difference an outfit can make in terms of how large the bump appears to be!I wore a black maternity top and jeans on Thanksgiving and from the front in pictures you can't tell I'm expecting, but then I wore a purple maternity dress to the shower the next day and I looked SO pregnant from any angle. It was definitely the clothes not what I ate on Thanksgiving because the difference was so drastic!
Cravings: My favorite Thanksgiving dishes...
Gender: Baby Herndon got a clothes line of BOY clothes from my sister at the shower...
Movement: I may have had my first Braxton Hicks this week. I thought the baby was just laid out horizontally across the bump making the bump pretty solid all the way across, but then I thought perhaps this is actually a practice contraction. My mom has asked me a few times if I experienced any yet, so it's been on my mind. I'm not positive that's what was going on...
Symptoms: The pain in my ribcage is waking me up at nights sleep this week, which is frustrating because I'm subbing a couple days meaning I have to get up early and without a good nights rest I'm left exhausted in the afternoon/evening. I'm going to ask my midwife about it when I head to my centering appointment this Thursday. I've been trying to eat blander foods that won't irritate my stomach as much. It's an on going saga...me and this heartburn!
Appointment Updates: I have a centering appointment this Thursday right as I begin week 31. I have to begin the dip tests for preclampsia this week too just to be safe because my midwife wants to be sure my ribcage pain isn't connected. She doesn't think it is truly, but she wants to be sure to keep an eye on things, so like I said...
Best Moment of the Week: My sister threw a baby shower for Peanut with all my New York family. She planned such a wonderful shower with dinosaur shaped tea sandwiches, chocolate egg creams, fun games including a baby pool and THE cutest cake!I felt so lucky to be able to celebrate Baby Herndon with my Grandma, cousins, and aunts!
What did she decide to do for the gender reveal?
Build a rattle pinata in our nursery colors...that's right, she MADE this pinata from scratch for the reveal!She is one crafty friend!
Saturday afternoon we were all ready and excited for the reveal!
(especially our parents, Peanut's grandparents!
Adam and I were the first in place...
...followed by the rest of the crowd!
On cue, we were all told to pull...
and pull we did...
pretty hard...we were extremely excited to see the color of the contents inside...
you would pull hard too...so...
DOWN CAME THE PINATA!
BUT we continued to pull...and within seconds we saw IT...
Adam had been right all along...
Baby Herndon is a BOY! |
en | N/A | N/A | NO surprises in the Basque and Galician elections. The PNV nationalists squeaked home in the Basque region and will need an ally for an overall majority.
Sanchez understood ‘no’ when he said it during Mariano Rajoy’s investiture attempts but doesn’t recognise the word when he hears it. Voters – not the paid-up party members that Sanchez listens to most – said ‘no’ to him in December, they said it in June and now they’ve said it again in September.
CIUDADANOS failed to win a seat in either Galicia or the Basque Region. That’s a shabby way to thank Albert Rivera for putting the electorate before his own political ambitions by trying to help first Sanchez and later Rajoy to form a government.
Further proof that being decent is not an advantage in Spanish politics, but a drawback.

en | N/A | N/A | Shockingly, such primitive dentistry was to remain the norm for many centuries. While the people of ancient Egypt, Rome or Greece might have been pioneers in many fields, including maths, astronomy and even medicine, their knowledge of oral health was basic to say the least. And this approach to dental health continued right through the Middle Ages. In fact, it was only really with the Enlightenment that real, expert dentists started to emerge. But even then, treatments were carried out without any anaesthetics.
The history of dentistry, therefore, makes for some pretty tough reading. Going to the dentist could be bloody, gory, painful and often even fatal, as the below shows. So, here we present the history of dentistry, blood and all:

en | N/A | N/A | March 24, 2020 by LibertyID News Teamover the last few weeks. Classes are cancelled on all school campuses, global conferences are postponed, and small businesses are closing their doors indefinitely due to this widespread outbreak. Many people are left wondering how they will pay their bills, anin quarantine,your business practices safer.
It is malware attacks in the coming weeks while people are working remotely as hackers have a greater chance of infiltration when workers are not so closely contained on their regular work networks. Working from home can increase the likelihood of having a malware attack on your company, and you definitely don’t want to be the employee responsible for something like that, so here are some steps that you should take while in quarantine to make working from home safer.
First things first… How many people have access to your home Wi-Fi network router’s password? Well, if you have children, there are probably more people accessing that router than you think. It’s a good idea to reset your Wi-Fi router’s password so that you can know and control who is on your home Wi-Fi network while you’re working from home.
Not only should you reset your Wi-Fi router’s password, but you should also make it even harder for hackers to find where you’re working fromconceals your IP address by spoofing a fake IP address. Basically, a VPN creates a fake IP address in a different location. On top of that, most VPNs have the ability to encrypt
Next, do all of your devices have some sort of anti-virus software? They should. These are programs designed to scan the device for malware and viruses that are targeted towards your device. This type of beneficial software should also be up to date, so enable automatic security updates so that you don’t have to do any extra work to ensure the security of your devices while you’re working from home.
Additionally, when you’re in your office at work, it’s unlikely that you need to worry about backing up your data. However, when you’re at home, that’s a different story. Make sure that you upload your work to an additional place to prevent data loss, especially with the increased possibility of harmful ransomware.
Hackers are already using the guise of the coronavirus to attempt to infiltrate networks. Stay vigilant while working from home to limit the exposure. Nothing is foolproof, but don’t be the fool of your company by not taking extra precautions to protect yourself in these uncertain times. |
en | N/A | N/A | When a group of friends is hanging out on Saturday night, tossing around ideas about where to go eat, there are some inspired suggestions that seem almost inevitable, and this is one of them: "Let's go get Greek food!"

"I learned to cook from watching my mother – when we started up the restaurant I wasn't quite sure of myself, but – no cookbooks!" she laughs. "It's all trial and error. I measure with my eyes, not with tablespoons."
I innocently asked George Sgourakis, "So, you run a Greek restaurant. Why are there hamburgers on the menu?"

en | N/A | N/A | Huge strict on sale dates, a lot of posters and print outs, secretive dates on when we could start talking to customers about the new tablet coming out… I thought it was a huge was of time back then, and it seems that my thoughts have finally mirrored that of home office. They wasted so much on the nük brand when all we had to do was show that we had a tablet and e-reader for sale. It wasn’t a big deal back when it was launched because everyone already had smartphones back then. The e-reader market is more niche than what many thought or hoped and that market is flooded with an assortment of tablets that, if lined up end to end, could probably wrap around the earth a few times.
At least the tablets and devices on offer now aren’t terrible. Battery life is better, more storage, backlit, side-lit, whatever stuff. They fill a particular hole for a particular customer base, just like different genres of books. |

en | N/A | N/A | (radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal <= Value
where radFld is a function from the plug-in Radia and it does calculs given an x and z to find a magnetic field of the configuration of magnetics given by Grp. In other words: radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal = f(x,y,z) Also, "vmax" is a constant.
To get the volume, I tried this:
Integrate[Boole[(radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal <= vmax], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, {z, -10, 10}]
but my results seems not to be correct, as it goes from 0 to 540 and does not assume any other value between this range, whatever is "vmax".
Also, I tried this to make sure the region has been modified with "vmax":
RegionPlot3D[(radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal] <= vmax , {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, {z, -10, 10}]
and I got different regions for different "vmax".
Is there any other suggestion to get the volume or of what I am doing wrong?

Hi Felipe, welcome to Mathematica SE.
Hi Luiz! Welcome to this site. I think an explicit form of your inequality (i.e. (radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal <= Value) should be helpful for others to understand what happens here.
Hi, Murta and Silvia! The problem is that I don't have the explicit form of radFld[]. When I used the code: Integrate[Boole[(radFld[Grp, "Bx", {x, y, z}] - Btotal)/Btotal <= vmax], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, {z, -10, 10}] I was just using the same method shown on Mathematica website: reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Boole.html, when they calculate the area of a circle
– Luiz Felipe Santos
Have you tried NIntegrate?
It's almost certain that your problem has to do with the particulars of your integrand. If you can't provide radFld, it would be good to provide at least a minimal example function that shows the problem.
This is too long for a comment, but I can remove this answer later. I don't really understand your sentence
Maybe you can try to rephrase this, so that it will become crystal clear, what you mean ;-)
Additionally, the approach you already mentioned should work. Let's assume a simple example: a sphere. We can define a sphere in the same way you defined your function
f[v_] := Sqrt[v.v]
RegionPlot3D[f[{x, y, z}] < 1, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}]
Now you can use NIntegrate in the same you already showed with Integrate
NIntegrate[Boole[f[{x, y, z}] < 1], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}]
and you get 4.18879 which happens to be $$\frac{4}{3}\pi$$ which is of course the correct solution. You can try other radii and you'll see that the result is correct. |

The request was made at the high-level meeting which was convened under the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
The meeting discussed the provision made in the Reorganisation Act for setting up an integrated steel plant in Khammam district and YSR district of Andhra Pradesh. The Ministry of Steel informed the participants that the Telangana government was yet to suggest an alternative site for the steel plant as requested by the Ministry. The Andhra Pradesh government, on its part, had not submitted the G2 survey report required for finalisation of report by MECON. The AP government informed that submission of the report would take time and the Ministry had accordingly asked it to submit the report as soon as possible.
The Telangana government has expressed concern that of the 35 highways recommended by it, only 13 had been notified ass, however, explained that some policy decisions were under consideration for the national highways in this regard. |
