Blomard is a French commune. It is in the Allier department in the center of France. |
Remember all of the mainstream media handwringing over conservative media creating a “climate of hate”? Pepperidge Farm remembers. The average Leftist doesn’t. That’s why it’s easy to get them to fling poo where they are told.
The United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Michele Nielsen, is a successful, educated woman in a position of power. Peter Fonda declared she should be stripped naked, pilloried, and whipped by passersby while being filmed. He also declared she should caged and poked by passersby.
So when is the next pussy hat march scheduled? Where are the feminists baying online and in the streets? Where is the call for him to surrender his Golden Globe awards? Where is the call to have him scrubbed from his latest movie? Where are the celebrity disavowals? Is there a social justice hashtag campaign or a Facebook filter?
White House Press Secretary, Sarah Elizabeth Huckabee Sanders, is a successful, educated woman in a position of power. Peter Fonda labeled her with the coarsest language. Does anyone want to compare this to the word Trump used? That kind of remark was supposed to disqualify him from the Presidency, remember that? Hey, Leftists, where’s the moral outrage? Why isn’t this the topic of a months-long news cycle?
LEFTISTS: Trump is a sexist pig because he made a vulgar comment a decade ago.
ALSO LEFTISTS: Fonda said that because he cares about children!
Hey, Leftists, imagine if a conservative actor advocated for Sasha and Malia being caged with sex offenders. How long would that actor’s career last? Hey, real quick, how does Peter Fonda’s tweet stack up to Roseanne’s tweet? You know, the one that got her booted from her own show? Tell everyone more about your righteous indignation over that.
Imagine if he tweeted the following:
LEFTISTS: Think of the children! The precious children!
ALSO LEFTISTS: Well, not their children, f*** those f***ing f***ers!
“Oh come on Justa, he’s entitled to his opinion. It’s not like anything’s going to happen!”
Maybe nothing will happen. How many people need to get the message before someone decides to #resist or #bashthefash or maybe something more than hashtagging?
Here is a poster boy for medical sterilization. Savor the irony of a tool who thinks he’s sticking it to The Man… smiling and giving the thumbs up to the symbol of a nation that literally put people in gulags. New York University Adjunct Professor, Sam Lavigne, created a database of over 1,500 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees and shared it to his 3,600 followers on Twitter. Then Antifa spread it to their followers.
“Free speech and stuff. The information is out there, he’s just sharing it.”
Hey, Leftists, remember when the media folks were appalled at Trump pointing out the misdeeds of members of federal agencies? Remember how that created a crisis? To my knowledge, he never composed a hit list of field agents. Sammy did. Isn’t that a lot worse? Did Peter Fonda’s “we should” statement or Sam Lavigne’s doxxing create a crisis? Or do you only revere the feds when they are useful for bashing Trump?
If something happens to a federal agent or one of their family members… I don’t expect to weep over much if Sammy takes a burst of semi-jacketed hollow points to the chest while resisting arrest. I’m entitled to my opinion, right?
“It’s not like anything’s going to happen! Leftists would never get whipped into a frenzy by heavily slanted news stories, the virulently hateful remarks of celebrities, and the semi-coherent wailing of talking heads with cameras.”
You mean except all of the post-election riots, and more recently the group of Leftists who harassed Kirstjen Nielsen while she was simply having dinner at MXDC? On what date did it become acceptable to organize a mob to harass someone having dinner? Just asking for a friend. Are you cool with it, Leftists? In a world where normal people are asked to take micro-aggressions seriously, maybe actual harassment should be frowned upon, maybe?
“Well, okay, Justa, that wasn’t nice, but so what?”
See this peach here? Laurence Key has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill the children of Rep. Brian Mast (R, FL). He made over 450 phone calls to make his point, so I think we can discount the standard I-made-a-joke-in-poor-taste-and-now deeply-regret-that-you-misunderstood-me defense.
Key reportedly said, “I’m going to find congressman’s kids and kill them. If you’re going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids. Don’t try to find me because you won’t.”
Just so we’re clear. Leftists are foaming at the mouth over the alleged mistreatment of children separated from parents who are incarcerated for illegally crossing the border. How terrible is this place? Russian gulags? Nazi death camps? Vietnamese POW camps? Forced viewings of Peter Fonda’s cadaverous face? Nope. The facility at El Cajon, is run by Southwest Key within the Department of Health and Human Services’ Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program, under the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), and the Administration for Children and Familes (ACF). It is not a house of cages (unlike the photos from the Obama administration). They provide free food, clothing, shelter, education, recreation, medical care, telephone service to call family, and (I kid you not) field trips the park, the zoo, and the museum, as well as a dress-up prom-type event. Yeah. They’re REALLY suffering. Maybe our veterans should sneak in with fake accents and self-identify as the children of criminals so they can get medical treatment.
When the Leftist’s mainstream media, the social media, academy, and celebrities lie, omit, and repeat their propaganda, of course it has results. That is the whole point. If you do it enough you get Antifa committing vandalism, arson, and assault to silence conservative voices and intimidate conservative people into retreat.
If you do it enough, you get guys like Bernie Sanders Supporter,James Hodgkinson, who took a rifle to a Congressional baseball game for the express purpose of killing Republican congressmen.
Thankfully he was a poor marksman, things could have been much worse.
What do I know? I’m Justa Gaibroh.

Hi everyone,
I got my N900 recently replaced with an E7 (german keyboard). So far my experience is ok. Not the best but also not too bad.
Now I would like to update it to Symbian Belle. When I try to find the update in the latest Nokia Suite version. I just can not see it. Also in the cell included updater there is no hint for it.
When I look for the release date of belle for my E7 (product code is: 059H112 - I have looked through all countries that provide a German qwertz keyboard, but couldnt find my code) I just can not find any hint why or when it will be available for my E7.
Actually the update app of Nokia (with the world map) might look cool but is not really useful.Nokia: Just implement a simple field where someone can type his code in and then show his release date. That simple... No big animation, simple straight to the point. But well that is Nokia these days...
So, any ideas what I can do or what I did wrong?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Update availability is influenced by many factors including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one ofthese variables, that there currently is no new firmware update available for your phone.
Instead of using Nokia PC Suite use the latest version of Nokia Suite. You can download the software on this link:. If you need a guide on how to perform the software update, refer to this link: |

A censer is a container made for burning incense or perfume in some solid form. They are very ancient and have many different forms and are made out of many different materials. Many designs have holes to allow a flow of air. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer.
In Western contexts, "censer" is often used for pieces made for religious use, especially those on chains that are swung through the air to spread the incense smoke widely. |

One of India's longest running television shows, it is produced by Neela Tele Films. The show went on air on 28 July 2008. It airs from Monday to Saturday on SAB TV. Reruns of the show started on Sony Pal from 2 November 2015.
The show is based on the column Duniya Ne Undha Chashma written by columnist and journalist/playwright Taarak Mehta for the Gujarati weekly magazine Chitralekha.

Jethalal calls his father Champaklal to keep an eye on Tapu but the opposite happens and he joins hands with Tapu. Most of the episodes are based on Jethalal being stuck in a problem and Taarak Mehta, his best friend, helps him out of it whom Jethalal calls "Fire Brigade."
The show covers topical issues which are socially relevant. The residents of Gokuldham faces daily life problems and finds solutions for it but with a moral value too in a hilarious manner.

What We're Reading: Nov. 3 - 9, 2009
Welcome to the first issue of "What We're Reading."-fiction releases, along with candid reactions from our reporters, hosts and critics.
The Lacuna
A Novel
By Barbara Kingsolver
The Lacuna, Barbara Kingsolver's first novel in nine years,.
The Lacuna opens with a bang, quickly drawing the reader into Shepherd's complicated but compelling early years in Mexico. Later, the historical figures who enter his life — Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky — dominate the narrative, and Shepherd's story gets a bit lost. For me, the book bogged down at this point. But Shepherd's brush with history sets the stage for a sobering and surprising ending that left this reader well-satisfied.-- Lynn Neary, books and publishing correspondent
Hardcover, 528 pages, Harper, list price: $26.99, pub. date: Nov. 3
Eating Animals
By Jonathan Safran Foer
The writer of the novels Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close might not seem like an obvious choice to write a book about the ethics and economics of eating meat, but Jonathan Safran Foer found himself examining the issue closely once he became a dog owner. In Eating Animals, he considers the philosophical underpinnings of meat-eating, goes out on visits to factory farms to check out the issues for himself, and ultimately asks readers to consider their own choices against the backdrop of the way modern food production actually works.
I liked it. It's part memoir, part investigative journalism — a departure from what Foer's done in the past. But he still uses a novelist's pen. It's very well-researched; for every four pages I think there's one page of footnotes. Foer studied philosophy, so there's a philosophical tone — a kind of conversation with himself in which the reader is a fly on the wall. But it's not preachy. It didn't turn me into a vegetarian, but it certainly made me think about it.-- Guy Raz, host, Weekend All Things Considered
Hardcover, 351 pages, Little, Brown and Co., list price: $25.99, pub. date: Nov. 2
Googled
The End of the World As We Know It
By Ken Auletta
The subtitle of Ken Auletta's book is The End Of The World As We Know It, which gives you some idea of just how important he believes Google to be. Googled is not the first book about the rise of the titans of search (and other businesses), but Auletta, a media columnist for The New Yorker, prides himself on his 2 1/2 years of research and broad access to the company. Combining anecdotes about the founders and others who make the company work with efforts to use Google as a metaphor for the broader digital revolution, Auletta attempts to explain the company's functioning and mind-set while drawing lessons that apply beyond its very famous doors.
I've met some of these people, and Auletta really does nail something about them — a peculiar mix of goofiness, arrogance and brilliance. My only critique is that sometimes he falls victim to the Silicon Valley spin army. But I was not bored. For someone who wants to understand what is without a doubt one of the most important companies in history, this is a very readable way to get a grasp of the players, the technology and its implications.-- Laura Sydell, digital culture correspondent
Given the absence of a shapely narrative or a strong point of view, Googled reads as a timeline skimming across the key moments in the company's history and providing rote miniature profiles of the key players-- Troy Patterson, NPR reviewer
Hardcover, 400 pages, Penguin Press, list price: $27.95, pub. date: Nov. 3
The Humbling
By Philip Roth
Philip Roth's new work, The Humbling, is about an aging actor who loses his touch and retreats from his work, only to enter into an intense (and explicitly described) affair with a significantly younger lesbian. The book is already controversial: a review in The Guardian condemned it as "scandalous frippery" (as perhaps only The Guardian would do), but other evaluations have been more positive, crediting the book for being provocative and thoughtful. Roth's latest may be brief at 160 pages — more a novella than a novel — but he hasn't lost the ability to drive discussion.
[The Humbling] blooms brightly in the extraordinarily fecund garden of [Roth's] late work ... A swift but piercing, uncluttered but nuanced morality tale about a once powerful stage actor.-- Heller McAlpin, NPR reviewer
Hardcover, 160 pages, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, list price: $22, pub. date: Oct. 21
Invisible
By Paul Auster
In the 25 years since the publication of his memoir The Invention Of Solitude, Paul Auster has developed a reputation as a writer of challenging fiction that combines elements from crime stories to ghost stories to — as sometimes seems inevitable for serious writers — visions of dystopia. Invisible, his fourth novel in the past five years, begins during the Vietnam era, a time of political turmoil and sometimes violent intergenerational conflict, when a young poet becomes entangled in the lives of a French professor and his girlfriend. A random act of street violence triggers a search for justice that covers four decades and settings from Morningside Heights to Paris to the West Indies.
An absorbing literary thriller, my favorite Paul Auster novel to date. I read it aloud to my husband in installments on a road trip, and we were caught up in the mystery's unfolding all the way to the final scenes. -- Jane Ciabattari, NPR reviewer
Hardcover, 320 pages, Henry Holt and Co., list price: $25, pub. date: Oct. 27 |

Credentialing a new doctor with third-party payers (including Medicare) is a tedious but necessary process. Even small mistakes can result in setbacks - even worse, application denials - all of which can rob dermatology practices of precious revenue, experts say.
As operational manager at Dermatology Billing Associates, which specializes in billing for dermatology practices and handles about 135 clients, Robin Brown, C.D.C., knows how to navigate the credentialing process.
One of the most important aspects of efficient credentialing is to know which forms to use - especially when it comes to Medicare, she says.
If a dermatologist is a sole proprietor, meaning he might have physicians working with him but none are owners of the practice, he would apply for Medicare credentialing by filling out the CMS-855I. A dermatology practice that is owned by more than one doctor would complete the CMS-855B.
"If the doctor is a sole proprietor and the other doctors are employees, he still has to get a group number from an insurance carrier for the facility," Ms. Brown says.
Many doctors do not know that they have to form a group when they have more than one provider.
"There are still doctors out there today who have added providers to their practices and have never brought together a group or applied for a group number," says Inga C. Ellzey, M.P.A., R.H.I.A., C.D.C., president and chief executive officer of Inga Ellzey Practice Group and Dermatology Billing Associates, Casselberry, Fla. "That is incorrect."
Streamlining tips
Here are some other tips and tricks to help you streamline the credentialing process:
Dermatologists must also use their tax identification numbers and not their Social Security numbers.
Ms. Brown calls the appropriate state provider enrollment for Medicare every two weeks when she has applications in the pipeline. "It takes them 45 days to get an application processed, but if you keep calling and they see that you are calling, things tend to be done a little faster," she says.
Remember: No approval equals less revenue. "You are not going to get paid from the insurance company until that credentialing process has been completed. Other than Medicare, the commercial policies will not let you retroactively bill, so until you are credentialed, you are seeing patients out-of-network, so to speak. Medicare only lets you retroactively bill 30 days from the date of the application. So, you have to make sure that there are no snafus in the process that you can avoid," Ms. Ellzey says. |

Children and a Small Apartment: What is the Solution?
It is not so easy for large families to choose apartments.
After all, housing is bought not for one season, but for the whole life. Therefore, it is worth considering some points if you have several children, or a newly born child.
An apartment for a family with a child should be chosen taking into account the location and infrastructure. For example, are there kindergartens, schools, bazaars, supermarkets, parks, hospitals, pharmacies nearby? It will be easier for you to take your children to kindergartens and schools, shop quickly at the market, and take a stroll through the park in the evening with a stroller.
If at least one or two of the listed objects are near the desired apartment, then it’s already good. Now, how safe is the area in which you want to buy a home? Your children are growing up, and it would be right if you walk around the area, ask people about the neighbours, and so on. It so happens that the area is not very good, but you are offered a cheap apartment. Here it is better to think seven times before buying.
When the location and security of the area is over, take a closer look at the apartment itself: what floor is it on, what is the layout, how many rooms, is it possible to redevelop, and the like. After all, it is important for you in what conditions your family will live. The apartment must meet your expectations and goals.
Choose an apartment from the first to the third floor. Pasir Ris 8 condominiums are the most comfortable apartments, in which the noise from passers-by, roads are drowned out, and it will not be so difficult to get out and in from a walk with children. And then, if you decide to buy an apartment higher on the floor, then keep in mind that the elevator will not always work, and it will not be easy for mom and baby (s) to carry heavy strollers back and forth, child car seats, scooters, large, and some toys are heavy.
An excellent solution would be if you purchase at least a two-room Pasir Ris 8 condominium. Your child will have a personal space as they grow up. Although you can make a two-room apartment from a one-room apartment. Children in an apartment are happiness for everyone. Parents are only required to make conditions for them, and educate them in love.
What is the condo solution?
Ranging from 1 to 4- bedroom complexes, Pasir Ris 8 condominium are designed to offer residents maximum amount of space with practical layout and high ceilings. From greenery to blue sea-view Pasir Ris 8 condominium has everything to offer in one building. Comprehensive amenities like sun deck gym, outdoor fitness, dining pavilion, swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, hot and cold spa, microbubble spa and relaxing at cabana are pretty cool for the residents.
One can easily find luxurious brands in malls, reputed schools, kindergartens, food centres, shopping centres and childcare centres near Pasir Ris 8. Kid’s activity area includes Wild Wild Wet, Tayo station, eXploreKid family park and Pasir Ris fishing pond within a range of 2-kilometre area from the residential complex. |
Neem is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae. It is native to India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Pakistan. It grows in tropical and semi-tropical regions. It was also the state tree of Hyderabad Deccan.
Neem is a fast-growing tree in India that can reach up to 15-20 m (about 50-65 feet) tall, and sometimes even to 35-40 m (115-131 feet). It is evergreen. It is found in some major parts of Tamil nadu like tuticorin,tirunelveli ,etc.
Uses
Products made from neem have been used in India for over two millennia for their medicinal properties. They are said to be antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, contraceptive and sedative. Neem products are also used in selectively controlling pests in plants. Neem is considered a part of Ayurvedic medicine.
Neem is also known as the' village pharmacy'. All parts of neem are used for preparing many different medicines, especially for skin disease.
A compound from the Neem tree can be used as a spermicide .
Neem oil is used for preparing cosmetics (soap and shampoo, ozone as well as lotions and others), and is useful for skin care such as acne treatment. Neem oil has been used effectively as a mosquito repellent.
Neem is useful for damaging over 500 types of insects, mites, ticks, and nematodes, by changing the way they grow and act. Neem does not normally kill pests right away, rather it slows their growth and drives them away. As neem products are cheap and not poisonous to animals and friendly insects, they are good for pest control
In the UK, plant protection products that contain azadirachtin, the active ingredient of neem oil, are illegal. |
One Heart Given
Embracing you close to me-
I knew that we were meant to be
Holding your hand, walking by your side-
Gives me a feeling of pleasure-
Burning deep down inside
Placing my head against your chest-
here next to you, it's nothing but the best
Hearing the rhythm of your heartbeat-
feeling the friction of our body heat-
The burning pleasure of pain
Together, we have everything to gain
Laying here totally naked under the sun
The sweat beads from our bodies, forming just one
Feeling the penetration so deeply within
I know there's no way this could be a sin
Holding you close makes me feel whole-
You take everything out of me-
Including my soul

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a law of the United States. It made it easier for African-Americans and non-English speaking citizens to vote. In some parts of the United States, people were forced to pay a poll tax or take a literacy test before being allowed to vote. This process kept many African-Americans from voting. The Voting Rights Act made all of those practices illegal.

Have you been hacked before?
Here are a few simple tips I learned from wired.com that can help against being hacked.
- Don’t Reuse Passwords: People that can hack one of you accounts can usually hack more because people reuse their passwords a lot. To keep yourself and your information safe, try to use a different password every time when making new accounts.
- Set up Two-Factor Authentication: When someone logs into the account from a new computer they have to also use a code. Usually the person has to put in the last four digits of the phone number linked to the account and they get an access code that is texted to them.
- Use a Password Manager: A password manager helps you store your passwords and also create new ones. All you have to do is remember the master password and then you are good go to.
Please be safe when making new accounts and opening emails that you don’t recognize.
Happy Blogging!

When a state uses taxes and government spending to influence the economy, this is known as fiscal policy in economics and political science. Idea from John Maynard Keynes. The state can influence the following parameters:
Aggregate demand and the level of economic activity
How resources are allocated
How wealth is distributed
There are two basic kinds of taxes: those on revenue, and those on economic activity, usually called excise taxes. Lowering the excise taxation will lead to increased economic activity, for example. Changes in welfare also have an impact on economic activity.
In general, fiscal policy is cyclic: Effects which result from changes in fiscal policy need some time until they can be observed.
Certain schools of thought think that fiscal policy should not be used to influence the economy. This is the case for Monetarism, which demands that keeping money at its value is the most important goal.

Percolators and Stove Top Coffee Makers
The classic Italian style stove top percolator coffee maker is also known as a Moka pot. It works by passing steam through the coffee grounds. This results in a coffee made at higher temperature and pressure - resulting in a good espresso like flavour with a creamy finish. The perfect preparation method for sophisticated European style coffees, we don't think you'll go far wrong with the stove top method.

Photography 1
Week 3 at Art School - p.1
Workshop today was photography. It was quite quick and consisted mainly of having depth-of-fields, F-stops and shutter speeds explained to us. We were given black and white film to play with - mainly because our tutor specialises in it, but also because there's less stuff to learn. Some people borrowed cameras from the college, but I had come prepared with The Flatmate's big and chunky Canon EOS-1. BEAUTIFUL camera - although slightly large for petite little me. The tutor brought in some lovely books of famous photographers work - and I realised that I had seen a lot of those already - how fortunate to live with a photographer!
We were sent off to spend the rest of the day to finish off a roll of 36 film, using the composition hints the tutor had given, and to try and photograph a theme of things, not just a random collection. Having used to live around the area, I went down to the canalside and took photos there. I've also organised to go visit my old lab on Monday so I can get a set of photographs of scientists doing science with scientific objects! We have to get the film developed by next week when we'll then pick a couple to print physically - can't wait! It'll be like being back in the lab! So, until next week, here's a drawing I did of The Flatmate's camera that what I borrowed.
Art and design history lecture today was "Victorian Tastes" - and MY, did they have eclectic ones!

Mithi;
Your art school adventures sound like hard work - but also like so much fun! Your drawing of the modls is fabulous! I also really like the things you are learning about photography.
My camera is a digital but I really love it and take it wih me everywhere every day. If you have time and would like to see photos from my trip to Halifax last week, please visit my Blog. Have a great weekend! |
The Altai Republic (; Altai: , Altay Respublika; , , ), also known as Gorno-Altai Republic, is a republic of Russia. It is in southern Siberia and is a part of the Siberian Federal District. It has an area of . It has a population of 210,924 people. It is the least-populous republic of Russia and least-populous federal subject in the Siberian Federal District. Gorno-Altaysk is the capital and the largest town of the republic.
The Altai Republic is one of Russia's ethnic republics. It mainly represents the indigenous Altai people. The Altai are a Turkic ethnic group that make up 37% of the republic's population, while ethnic Russians form a majority at 54%, and with minority populations of Kazakhs, other Central Asian ethnicities, and Germans. The official languages of the Altai Republic are Russian and Altai. Kazakh is official in areas where it is spoken more.
History
The Xiongnu Empire (209 BC - AD 93) owned the territory of the modern Altai Republic. The area was part of the First Turkic Khaganate, the Uyghur Empire, and the Yeniseian Kyrgyzs. This time was the time when Turkic cultures and languages became most common.
The southern part of the Altai Republic came under the Naiman Khanate. The territory of the modern Altai Republic has been ruled by the Mongolic Xianbei state (93-234), Rouran Khaganate (330-555), Mongol Empire (1206-1368), Golden Horde (1240-1502), Zunghar Khanate (1634-1758) and Qing Empire (1757-1864).
The entire Altan Nuur Uriankhai region was annexed into the Russian Empire in 1864-1867 by the Treaty of Tarbagatai. During the Russian Civil War, the Confederated Republic of Altai (Karakorum-Altai Region) was created in 1918. It claimed to be the first step to rebuilding Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire. But it never became a competing force in the Russian Civil War. It stayed neutral from 1918 until January 1920, when it was taken back by Russia. A second Altai Republic was formed in 1921 and lasted until 1922 when they were annexed by the Bolsheviks.
On June 1, 1922, the Oyrot Autonomous Oblast () was created in Altai Krai. This gave the Altai people more autonomy again. The original name for this region was Bazla. On January 7, 1948, it was renamed Gorno-Altai Autonomous Oblast (). In 1991 it was turned into the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR). In 1992 it was renamed to the Altai Republic.
Geography
The Altai Republic is in the Altai Mountains. It is at the junction of the Siberian taiga, the Kazakh steppes, and the Mongolian semi-deserts. Forests cover about 25% of the republic. The highest point in the Altai Republic is Belukha Mountain, which stands at 4,506 m (14,783 ft) tall.
The Altai Republic borders Kemerovo Oblast to the north, Khakassia to the northeast, Tuva to the east, Altai Krai to the west/northwest, Mongolia (Bayan-Olgii Province) to the southeast, China (Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang) to the south, and Kazakhstan (East Kazakhstan Region) to the south/southwest.
Climate
The republic has a temperate continental climate. It has short and mild summers (June-August) and long, cold, and often quite frosty winters (November-March).
In general, the republic's climate of the southeastern areas, such as the (Ulagansky and Kosh-Agachsky Districts), is harsher than the climate of the less elevated northern areas.
Average annual temperature: +1 degC to -6.7 degC.
January temperature range: -9.2 degC to -31 degC.
July temperature range: +11 degC to +19 degC.
Average annual precipitation: 100-1000 mm.

No. 10 Buckeyes Fall to No. 2 Badgers, 4-1
Nov. 2, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The tenth-ranked Ohio State women’s hockey team fell to No. 2 Wisconsin, 4-1, Saturday afternoon at LaBahn Arena in Madison. Ohio State (3-2-1, 2-2-1 WCHA) and Wisconsin (7-2-0, 5-2-0 WCHA) will play the series finale Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET.
The Buckeyes got on the board right out of the gate as freshman Claudia Kepler, a Wisconsin native, found the back of the net for her first career score 28 seconds into the opening period with an assist from senior Ally Tarr.
It was the Badgers who got an early score in period two as Blayre Turnbull scored on the power play just 30 seconds in to tie the game at 1-all. Sydney McKibbon added another power play goal at 8:28 of the second to give Wisconsin a 2-1 advantage.
Wisconsin tacked on two more scores in the third period with goals from Madison Packer and Brittany Ammerman.
Wisconsin finished 2-4 on the power play attack while Ohio State went 0-3. Shots on goal in the game were 41-25 in favor of the Badgers. Redshirt senior goaltender Chelsea Knapp made 37 saves for the Buckeyes while Alex Rigsby finished with 24 for Wisconsin. |
Crossing over is a basic concept of genetics and cell biology, often called recombination. It occurs during meiosis.
Crossing over is the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids during the production of gametes. The effect is to assort (shuffle) the alleles on parental chromosomes, so that the gametes carry combinations of genes different from either parent. This has the overall effect of increasing the variety of phenotypes present in a population.
The process can be seen directly in stained cells, and indirectly if there are genetic markers or not on the chromosomes. The visible crossovers are called chiasma (plural: chiasmata), which is Greek for a cross. F. A. Janssens was the first to suggest what chiasmata meant.
The large-scale effect of crossing over is to spread variation through a population. This is the main result of sexual reproduction compared to non-sexual modes of reproduction.
The main advantage to the parents is the greater variety in their offspring. This, it is thought, increases the chance that some of the offspring will survive and reproduce. This has been the subject of much investigation and discussion. |

The retina is the thin layer of cells that lines the back of the eyeball in humans and in many animals. It is made mainly of neurons and its role is to sense the light which gets into the eye and send information about it to the brain.
Most information about light that leaves the retina travels through the optic nerve, and is used by the brain to recognize what you're seeing. Information about light which travels through the retino-hypothamalic tract is for adjusting circadian rhythms to the 24-hour day.
The center of the human retina, called the fovea centralis, or just fovea, has the most rod cells and cone cells for receiving light. Even though the fovea takes up only 1.5 square millimeters, it plays the most important roles in vision. It is only around 1% of the human retina, but the fovea sends about as much information to the visual cortex as the rest of the retina combined.

A lock is a part of a navigable waterway system that makes a water "channel" deep enough for vessels to use. The lock controls pool depths, for example in a lock and dam system across a waterway.
The lock is a place where boats that travel up or down a river or canal can be moved to the next higher or lower level. Locks are built in places where the level of the water in the river or canal suddenly changes. This may be because of a waterfall there, or because a dam or a weir has been built, or because some other thing is in the way. The lock is like a big chamber with gates at each end. They have lock gears which empty or fill the chamber with water. Locks help a river to be more easily navigable (easier for boats to travel up and down), or for canals to be built across country that is not level.
How a lock works
If a boat that is travelling downstream (in the same direction that the water is flowing) arrives at a lock, this is what happens:
The boat waits until the lock is full of water. If a boat going the other way has just come out of the lock, the water level will be right and the gates will be open. This will save time.
The entrance gates (if shut) are opened and the boat sails in.
The entrance gates are closed.
A valve is opened, and water flows out of the chamber so that the boat goes down.
When the water is at the level of the next bit of river, the exit gates are opened and the boat sails out.
If a boat that is travelling upstream (in the opposite direction to the water flow), the opposite happens:
The boat waits until the water level is low. If a boat going the other way has just come out of the lock, the water level will be right and the gates will be open.
The entrance gates (if shut) are opened and the boat sails in.
The entrance gates are closed.
A valve is opened, and water pours in to the chamber so that the boat goes up.
When the water is at the level of the next bit of river, the exit gates are opened and the boat sails out.
The whole process of going through a lock may take about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on whether the boat has to wait. Some locks can take several boats at once, and the first one to enter may have to wait until other boats arrive.

Ms. Pac-Man is an arcade video game made by Midway Manufacturing (now Midway Games). It was released one year after Pac-Man, on January 13, 1982. It became one of the most popular video games of all-time after its release. This led Namco to make the game an official title in the Pac-Man series. It has a female character, new mazes, and changes in gameplay from Pac-Man. It is most successful American-made arcade game, selling 115,000 arcade cabinets.
Gameplay
Ms. Pac-Man plays similarly to Pac-Man. The player has to move Ms. Pac-Man, a yellow disc, around a maze. The goal is to eat all of the yellow pellets (circles) while not getting caught by the ghosts. The player can get more points by eating fruits that appear. When Ms. Pac-Man eats a white pellet, the ghosts turn blue. The player can eat them for points. The game has 256 stages. Like Pac-Man, the 256th level cannot be finished because of a problem with the creation of the game.
The game has gameplay changes from the original Pac-Man. They include:
The game has four different mazes instead of one maze that is played for the whole game.
Three of the four mazes have two sets of warp tunnels instead of one.
Instead of staying in the middle of the maze, the fruit moves around the maze, going in and out of warp tunnels.
The ghosts have different behaviors.
The game has different sound effects and music. |

The Caledonian Forest is a type of woodland that once covered vast areas of Scotland. Today, parts of the original forest survive, covering in 84 places. The forests are home to a wide variety of wildlife, much of which is not found elsewhere in the British Isles.
History
The Caledonian forests were formed at the end of the last ice age. Trees began to recolonise what is now the British Isles over a land bridge which is now beneath the English Channel. Forests of this type were found all over what is now the island of Great Britain for a short period. Then the climate began to warm and the pine wood retreated north into the Scottish Highlands.
The native pinewoods which formed this westernmost outpost of the boreal forest of Europe are estimated to have covered as a vast wilderness of pine, birch, rowan, aspen, juniper, oak and a few other species. On the west coast, oak and birch predominated in a temperate rainforest ecosystem rich in ferns, mosses and lichens.
The forest takes its name from the Romans, who called Scotland Caledonia, from the early Celtic word '*caleto-' meaning 'hard, strong'. The name was used by a local tribe or tribal confederation of native Picts or Britons called the Caledonii.
Rewilding
Today less than 1% of the original native pinewood forest survives, in isolated remnants. The only real future of the once great forest is rewilding. This amounts to keeping sections free of deer and hogs until trees have a chance to grow. Natural predators are also needed to keep control of herbivores which would otherwise eat everything before trees could grow. Alan Watson Featherstone explains his life's work.
Wildlife
A unique ecosystem in the British Isles, the Caledonian pinewoods are home to some of the country's rarest wildlife. It is one of the last remaining wildernesses in the British Isles, but most of it has gone.
Breeding bird species in Caledonian pine forests which breed nowhere else in the British Isles:
Black-throated diver
Capercaillie
Common goldeneye
Crested tit
Golden eagle
Greenshank
Horned grebe
Parrot crossbill

In February, Samsung USA had stated that Samsung Galaxy S3 would receive the KitKat update soon. The company has now kept its promise and is rolling out the update to the device.
American network carrier, Sprint has released the chocolate-wafer flavored Android OS (build number: L710VPUCND8) to the Samsung's 2012 flagship phone Galaxy S3. The firmware is available via OTA (Over-The-Air) as well as PC suite (for manual downloading using desktop).
Galaxy S3 Owners can check for updates on the phone:
Go to Apps >> click Settings >> tap More >> scroll down to About device >> check Android version and build number
Other network providers are also said to follow suit in the USA, but the contentious issue that still remains is whether Samsung has any plans to make the KitKat OS available to the Galaxy S3 international variant. Android v4.3 Jelly Bean was the last major OS update (in November) for the device. It will be really unfair for loyal fans if the South Korean company ignores to push updates in global markets.
So far, Samsung has released KitKat update only to 2013 flagship devices- Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active (in USA), Galaxy Note 2 (in France and India) and Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) in almost all markets. The company is also set to roll out new firmware to Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Zoom, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy Mega, Galaxy Light, and tablets such as Galaxy Note 8.0, Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab calls made to a number. people can create and store word documents in cloud storage as well as print files wirelessly on NFC-enabled HP printers.
Multi-tasking: with efficient memory management, users can multi-task by opening multiple applications; Listen to music while you can browse through the net.
Performance: Like all software updates, the new KitKat enhances smartphone's performance as well as efficient RAM management, leading to an increase in battery.

The is the third version of the Nintendo DS handheld. It was first announced in October 2008 and was available in Japan in November of the same year and worldwide in 2009/2010. Development of the DSi began in late 2006, shortly after the release of the DS Lite. A larger version of the DSi titled the Nintendo DSi XL was released in 2009/2010.
Features
The DSi is about 12% thinner (2.6 mm) and the screen is about 17% bigger than the Nintendo DS Lite. It has two Video Graphics Array (or VGA) 0.3 megapixel digital cameras; one is pointed at the user and the other is in the outer shell. The power switch is now a power button like the original Nintendo DS instead of a switch and is moved to the bottom to make it harder to bump by accident. It no longer has a slot to play Game Boy Advance games in and one will not be able to play games such as Guitar Hero: On Tour on the DSi because the game requires the slot and the download games.
Differences between the Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DSi
Bigger Screen: The DSi Screen is one quarter of an inch bigger than the DS Lite screen.
Lighter: The DSi is 4 grams lighter than the DS Lite.
Battery Life: The battery lasts between 1-5 hours less than the DS Lite.
Extra memory: The Nintendo DSi has a SD card slot, on which photos and music can be stored.
No Game Boy Game Slot: The DSi cannot play Game Boy Advance games and DS games that require the use of the GBA slot; this caused disappointment when it came out.
Camera: The DSi has two cameras, one on the inside and one on the outside and the photos can be put on the SD card and later printed.
Music Player: The DSi has an AAC player, for playing music, much like an iPod does.
Internet: The DSi has an internet browser that cannot watch videos, but can do everything else. |

A £25,000 record for Irish flatware? 27 June 2014Written by Roland Arkell Seventeenth century Dublin trefid spoons are extremely scarce. Last year a single rat-tailed example by Andrew Gregory, 1685, sold for €9000 at Adams of Dublin. Pairs are rarer still, with just one recorded (those by Abel Ram, 1663 mentioned in Irish Stuart Silver by Tony Sweeney) prior to the emergence of another at Cheffins in Cambridge. These 4oz Charles II spoons without rat tails were engraved to the tapering stems with the monogram SSM and carry very clear marks, shown below, for Dublin (the crowned harp), 1676 (a gothic letter B) and the maker Edward Swann. There were some discreet signs of repair to the heel and bowl of one, but both were considered to have survived in good condition. Cheffins' specialist Richard Heywood said the spoons had come to the sale on June 18 from a family north of Cambridge where they had been for three generations, but their history beyond that is not recorded. With the estimate set at a very attractive £800-1200, they sparked international interest before selling to a buyer from Ireland at £25,000 (plus 20% buyer's premium). The price paid may be the highest ever for Irish flatware. Antiques Trade Gazette is the weekly bible of the fine art and antiques industry.

The Liberty Bell's inscription conveys a message of liberty which goes beyond the words themselves. Since the bell was made, the words of the inscription have meant different things to different people. When William Penn created Pennsylvania's government he allowed citizens to take part in making laws and gave them the right to choose the religion they wanted. The colonists were proud of the freedom that Penn gave them...

This year for our holiday vacation, the one time of the year when nonprofit and for-profit organizations alike are more generous with approving Paid Time Off, Martin and I decided to take a week off to travel north and really experience winter (we heard LA was having summer in December while we were gone – consider us a bit envious). Our first stop in our One Week, Three Cities series: Seattle.
At the recommendation of my friend Rei who had lived in Seattle for a few years during her undergrad at UW, we made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner at Elliott’s Oyster House on the Waterfront. Whenever I dine at a seafood restaurant, my dad’s wise words of “Only eat oysters in months ending in -ber” ring in my head. Luckily for us, it’s DecemBER and we had ourselves an oyster feast!
Clockwise from the lemon:
– Chelsea Gem Oysters: The menu says these are considered one of finest in world and we could see why. They were sweet and buttery, with just a hint of brininess.
– Effingham Inlet / Barkley Sound, BC: These were a good size and tasted briny and delicious. My favorite of the night, I dare say.
– Kusshi / Vancouver Island, BC: We came to the consensus that this one is like the awkward little brother that can’t decide whether to be sweet or briny.
The oysters come with the option of a traditional cocktail sauce or the housemade champagne mignonette, which I definitely recommend. Elliot’s serves it as a sorbet, so you get a fruity, icy element atop the briny bivalve. Yum! They also recommend pairing the oysters with the local favorite Chateau Ste. Michelle chardonnay, but I opted for the riesling from the same winery in hopes of a sweeter wine and it did not disappoint!
We also got some of the hot appetizers as well to round things out.
The crispy geoduck strips with poppy seed aioli were crispy and nicely fried, but the batter and cooking method drowned out the flavor of the geoduck. I think we’ll try the tartare, the other geoduck item on the menu, next time to get more of its natural flavor. Our other app was the dungeness crab cakes with sweet chili lime beurre blanc and chayote jicama slaw. The crab cakes were deliciously pan seared and consisted of so much lump crab meat that it fell apart for want of breadcrumbs or egg yolk. The sauce was reminiscent of the Asian chili sauce you eat with lumpia, so that was… interesting. The slaw was wonderfully crunchy and contrasted well with the fried dishes.
Round 2 – another half-dozen sampler ($17) – two each of the Totten Inlet, Penn Cove, and Snow Creek.
We couldn’t resist and ordered another half dozen oysters:
– Totten Inlet (WA): Martin described it as a slap in the face of brininess that eventually mellows out sweet.
– Penn Cove (WA): apparently a local favorite. We felt these were well balanced in flavor but they didn’t particularly wow me.
– Snow Creek: We didn’t know what to get for our third oyster so at the suggestion of our server, we asked the shucker to pick! These were a briny surprise from that night’s shucker, Jason. I think they were a bit too briny for Martin but I loved them. They left me with a lingering, ocean-y aftertaste. Mmm…
What’s a holiday dinner without dessert? We both spotted the sunken chocolate souffle a la mode and decided to go with that. I suspect they put “sunken” in the name in case it doesn’t rise like a “true” souffle, because our dessert turned out to be a delicious lava cake of sorts filled with dark chocolate ganache and topped with Madagascan vanilla ice cream. A decadent way to end our meal!
Elliott’s prides itself on serving eco-friendly, sustainable seafood. Food aside, the service was top notch, the decor was inviting, and the restaurant itself is easy to find right when you get to the Waterfront. I couldn’t think of a better place for us to celebrate Christmas Eve, and we will definitely come back next time we’re in town!

One thought on “Day One: Seattle – Elliott’s Oyster House” |
Observation is an activity of an intelligent living being (e.g. human), which senses and assimilates the knowledge of a phenomenon in its framework of previous knowledge and ideas.
Observation is more than the bare act of observing: Observation requires observing and seeking knowledge, often through experiment.
Observations that come from self-defining instruments are often unreliable. Such observations are hard to reproduce because they may vary even with respect to the same stimuli. Thus they are not of much use in exact sciences like physics which require instruments which do not define themselves. It is thus often necessary to use various engineered instruments like: spectrometers, oscilloscopes, cameras, telescopes, interferometers, tape recorders, thermometers etc. and tools like clocks, scale that help in improving the accuracy, quality and utility of the information obtained from an observation.
The accuracy and tremendous success of science is primarily attributed to the accuracy and objectivity (i.e. repeatability) of observation of the reality that science explores.
The role of observation in the scientific method
Scientific method refers to techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methodologies of knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable in order to dependably predict any future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many hypotheses together in a coherent structure. This in turn may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.
Among other facets shared by the various fields of inquiry is the conviction that the process be objective to reduce a biased interpretation of the results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established.
Testing and improvement
The scientific process is iterative. At any stage it is possible that some consideration will lead the scientist to repeat an earlier part of the process. Failure to develop an interesting hypothesis may lead a scientist to re-define the subject they are considering. Failure of a hypothesis to produce interesting and testable predictions may lead to reconsideration of the hypothesis or of the definition of the subject. Failure of the experiment to produce interesting results may lead the scientist to reconsidering the experimental method, the hypothesis or the definition of the subject.
Other scientists may start their own research and enter the process at any stage. They might adopt the characterization and formulate their own hypothesis, or they might adopt the hypothesis and deduce their own predictions. Often the experiment is not done by the person who made the prediction and the characterization is based on experiments done by someone else. Published results of experiments can also serve as a hypothesis predicting their own reproducibility. |

Sam smelled a rat... so why didn't Dave?
When David Cameron reflects on the many warnings he received about his links with Rupert Murdoch, one in particular will ring in his ears.
The long list of people who begged the Prime Minister to distance himself from the Murdoch empire included his wife Samantha, I can reveal.
A shrewd operator, Mrs Cameron pleaded with her husband back in the spring to end contact with the so-called Chipping Norton set and, in particular, News International chief Rebekah Brooks.
In a bid to put a cap on the affair, the Prime Minister has published his contacts with media executives since coming to power. But the most interesting meetings took place in the run-up to the Election, when he was in Opposition, campaigning for power. There was, I’m told, a flying visit to Murdoch’s yacht, moored in the Mediterranean, in August 2008.
As his family played in the yacht’s pool, Mr Cameron must have had some sort of discussion with Mr Murdoch, although he will no doubt argue it was a social call.
But it is precisely the social nature of such contacts that could come back to haunt him.
Suspicious Liberal Democrat MPs are convinced that when it comes to cosy dealings with media barons, the serious business is not done during official meetings but while sitting around luxury swimming pools.
The Lib Dems have always prided themselves on being friends of no one influential or powerful – whether by accident or design – and they hate this sort of toadying more than anything. Even if the crisis recedes, it has opened up a serious new rift in the Coalition.
From the moment Nick Clegg started to ally with Ed Miliband’s call for a judicial inquiry, the Liberal Democrats began to question the Coalition in ruder and more audacious terms than ever before.
If Cameron is wounded, a certain type of lefty Lib will only too eagerly kick him while he’s down.
As one senior Lib Dem politician said: ‘Something like this shows that the Coalition glue is not nearly strong enough to keep us together.’
No wonder the Prime Minister is said to be exhausted by the phone-hacking scandal. It is his first real trauma in government and it has been gruelling.
‘All the other crises he has had to deal with have been other people’s faults and he has ridden to the rescue like a knight on a white charger,’ said one senior Downing Street insider. ‘This time, he’s been at the centre of it.’ He could remain so for a while yet.
Red tape blitz is being strangled – by red tape
The crisis in the Eurozone may have receded for now, but the economic picture in Britain is far from rosy.
Growth figures due out this week are set to be worse than expected. The Coalition is preparing to relaunch its efforts to boost the economy this autumn. But a serious growth strategy, or lack of it, is still the elephant in the room.
The Government’s entire plan for recovery depends on fast growth, but the economy is crawling.
Tory MPs are desperate for David Cameron to do something radical to get things moving. Top of their wish list is a tax cut. The Lib Dem proposal to take lower earners out of tax altogether could be coupled with a cut in business tax, they say.
They also want to see the new income tax top rate of 50 per cent put back down to 40 per cent and a reduction in capital gains tax.
Right-wingers point out that since the Government put up CGT, the revenues from it have been falling, not rising. But the Treasury appears wedded to the belief that taxes must stay high.
There may be some movement in September, when George Osborne unveils new economic plans at the Conservative Party conference.
While significant tax cuts remain unlikely, there may be measures to get the banks lending to small and medium-sized businesses and some action on deregulation.
On the latter, Tory MPs say it is incredible that it has taken the Coalition this long to activate a wealth of ideas which have been sitting on Mr Cameron’s desk for years.
The Prime Minister has been commissioning papers on deregulation since his early days as Tory leader.
John Redwood, chairman of his economic competitiveness commission, presented him with 44 proposals to cut red tape, which would have seemed a good place to start.
But Mr Cameron’s response has been to set up further commissions to consider the original proposals.
To Right-wingers, that sounds suspiciously like a layer of red tape is strangling the efforts to cut red tape. No wonder they are getting impatient and demanding action.
To that end, Mr Osborne will be centre-stage at the party conference, the theme of which will be growth. ‘Let’s hope they stop talking and actually do something,’ says one Tory MP. ‘We can’t afford to lose another year on this.’
As the official inquiry into Hack-gate gets under way, it is worth remembering that taxpayers are still picking up the tab for the expenses scandal.
IPSA, the body set up to police MPs’ expenses in the wake of that scandal, has just published the pay and perks of its members. It transpires that the people whose job it is to restrain the spending of those in power are themselves on cushy salaries with gold-plated pensions.
Chief executive Andrew McDonald earns a salary of £110,000 a year, with a capital increase to his pension pot of £105,000 last year. Anne Power, the director of communications, is paid £80,000 a year and saw a £69,000 increase in her pension benefit in 2010-11.
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay said: ‘IPSA certainly has well-fed watchdogs on plump pay and pension packages. Let’s hope taxpayers get full value for money from them.’ |

From Brooklyn Vegan:

And from Stereo Gum:
When you think about it, these MySpace Secret Shows really reached their logical conclusion last night. You can just shut it down now. A few songs into a set that was all new but for "LDN" and "Smile," Lily Allen thanked the site for throwing last night's free show at Bowery Ballroom, saying: "God knows they've helped me in my career." The show was first-come-first-serve, and according to Miss Modern Age's aggregated Twitter-feed reportage, the line was blocks long and cops were arresting tiny MySpacers for blocking subway stops. I believe all of that because citizen journalism is the future and Twitter is nothing if not a reliable narrator. When I arrived, though, just in time for the smiles and sinews of Matt & Kim, the line lessened and the crowd inside was that quintessential NYC mix of hyped up devotees and disengaged industry folk. Yay. (Ugh.)
So, the night had an unusual energy to it. In part that's because it's early in the tour (three more "secret shows" and then a proper run) and she's still feeling her way around framing the new material. Alright, Still dressed Lily's textual confessionals in ska samples and sunny promo shots, enough to diffuse the sadness on stage and make the shows and the drinking all part of a cheeky celebration. There's no such cloak in the occasionally melancholic electro-pop of It's Not Me, It's You, though, so when Lily tipped her liquor cup and laid bare her heart, the shit could be uncomfortably direct, momentarily devastating, and not necessarily what the kids who didn't know the new album had lined up for. That tension wasn't lost on Lily, so she laughed her way into some of the saddest parts and made the requisite album leak jokes: ("You're singing along. That means you've been illegally downloading, muthafuckaaas ... that's OK, I don't make money on the recordings anyway.")
But this wasn't a wake. Lily looked great. She danced, she glamor-posed, she smirked her way through It's Not Me, It's You's many fantastic songs. Her voice has never sounded better. She swilled scotch and covered Britney Spears. She fucked-off W. There are some duds lining the new stuff, and so the set dragged, but "The Fear" and "Fuck You" and "22" and "I Could Say" and etc. made a night of it. No, we weren't making life-long memories at Bowery, but you know, she is so charming. And it was free.

Blogpoll, Provisional Week 3.
Dropped Out: Virginia Tech (#11).
Thoughts:
- LSU: yeah, yeah, you were right, I was wrong, blah, blah, blah.
- Georgia: ditto.
- Wisconsin: I told you so.
- Washington: There's a fair chance that the Huskies will lose the next five, but at this point, they flew across the country and spanked a quasi-BCS conference team, then flew home and ended the nation's longest winning streak.
- TCU: I'm sure some voters will move TCU up because of a fine three quarter performance in Austin. Still, they lost by three touchdowns. I want to try to treat non-BCS teams fairly, but there isn't a BCS conference team in the country that would move up after losing by three touchdowns anywhere to anyone.
- Miami: I'm sure some might question leaving Miami in the poll while dropping VT, but at least Miami has looked impressive once, against Marshall, a team that played credibly against WVU this week. |

A.
Today corporation tax is 20% (and is due to fall to 18% from April 2020) but the taxation of dividends has remained unchanged. This has provided owner-managed businesses with financial incentives to incorporate and extract profits as dividends. Osborne said the government cannot reduce corporation tax further while there are “rapidly growing opportunities for tax planning”.
So the “complex and archaic system” of tax dividends will be overhauled in April 2016 with a simplified structure and different tax rates.
The final rules are still subject to legislation but HMRC released a factsheet of how it envisages the rules will apply on 17 August 2015. The examples in this article are based on the details from the factsheet.
Changes at a glance
There are 4 main changes that will come into effect from April 2016.
- The 10% dividend tax credit will be abolished.
- Individuals will have a £5,000 a year tax-free dividend tax allowance. This allowance will not reduce total income for tax purposes and will only apply to dividend income.
- Dividend income exceeding the annual allowance will be taxed according to an individual’s income tax band. Basic rate taxpayers will pay 7.5%, higher rate 32.5% and additional rate 38.1%.
- No tax will be deducted at source; it will be paid through self-assessment.
Dividends paid within pensions funds and those received in shares from ISAs will stay tax-free.
The £1,000 savings allowance (£500 for higher rate taxpayers) due to come into effect in April 2016 excludes dividend income.
Who will be affected?
The government predicts that 85% of people will pay the same or less tax under the new rules.
The other 15% are likely to be basic rate or non-taxpayers who receive dividends exceeding £5,000 a year. This could be a business owner who receives an annual salary below the personal allowance and takes the rest of their remuneration in dividends.
Investors would need a portfolio of more than £140,000 with a 3.5% annual yield to exceed the £5,000 annual allowance.
Current rules
Dividends are paid as though 10% tax already been deducted. This 10% is called a dividend tax credit and is equal to a ninth of the dividend. For example, a £90 dividend has a £10 dividend tax credit attached to it.
For basic rate taxpayers, the 10% tax is deemed sufficient and there is no more tax to pay.
For higher and additional rate taxpayers the dividend and the dividend tax credit are added together and this figure is taxed according to an individual’s income tax band at the following rates:
- higher rate: 32.5%
- additional rate: 37.5%.
These taxpayers can reclaim the dividend tax credit from the tax due.
Comparing dividend tax systems
The government hasn’t confirmed the full details so it is not possible to fully assess the impact of the changes at present. How the £5,000 dividend tax allowance will work with the personal allowance and dividend tax rates is still an important, yet unconfirmed, detail.
The following examples assume that:
- dividends within the £5,000 allowance will count towards basic and higher rate tax bands
- the personal allowance for 2016/17 is £11,000
- the basic rate limit for 2016/17 is £32,000
- the higher rate threshold for 2016/17 is £43,000
- the people in the examples do not receive any other income or dividends.
Non and basic rate taxpayers
Hayley, John and Susan all receive £20,000 in dividends a year but have different salaries.
2015/16
None of the individuals pay tax on their dividends under the current rules.
From April 2016
All of the individuals in these examples will pay tax on their dividends from the 2016/17 tax year. However the amount of tax they will pay will differ.
Hayley The first £3,000 of Hayley’s dividends fall within her remaining personal allowance and as a result are tax-free. The next £5,000 of dividends come under the annual dividend allowance and are also tax-free. This leaves £12,000 of dividend income that will be taxed at the basic rate of 7.5%.
John The first £5,000 of John’s dividends fall under the annual dividend allowance and are tax-free. This leaves £15,000 of dividend income that will be taxed at the basic rate of 7.5%. Susan Susan’s situation is a little more complicated. All of her salary falls within the personal allowance and basic rate income tax band. She has not used £3,000 of the basic rate allowance.
However, when the dividends are taken into consideration, they push Susan’s total earnings above the higher rate threshold, exposing a proportion of her dividends to the higher rate of tax at 32.5%.
The £5,000 dividend allowance is split in the following way:
- £3,000 ‘uses up’ Susan’s remaining basic rate allowance
- £2,000 falls under the higher rate.
The remaining £15,000 of dividends are taxed at 32.5%.
Higher rate taxpayers
Pritesh earns £50,000 and receives £20,000 in dividends a year.
2015/16
As a higher rate taxpayer, Pritesh currently pays 32.5% tax on all his dividends and can reclaim the tax credit.
From April 2016
Pritesh will pay less tax on his dividends compared to 2015/16.
Although Pritesh earns £10,000 more than Susan a year, they both pay the same rate of tax on their dividends.
Minimising dividend tax
Until the exact details of the changes are made public, approach any strategies to minimise dividend tax with caution and seek professional advice before making any decisions.
Once the rules have been finalised, we will be in a much stronger position to advise on how the changes will affect you.

At Gen Con 2011 I had the pleasure and privilege to take a look at a game that was fresh off the presses.
For those who like the Railroad and other connect the dot variety of games you will love Chaotic Connections.
It has the basic theme of connecting cities as the main goal but it reminds me of half the trips I have taken.
You can plan all you want but at the last minute you may find your destination has changed or that the road is closed (did I ever mention my flight to Sakura Con a few months back or my Virgin Mobile/Google Maps GPS course plotter? Its kinda like that!)
You can just about have your cities connected and someone throws up a road block, detour, or just plane swaps cities with you so they win.
It is a game of strategy of luck, but mostly fun.
I shot a bit of video of the instruction period of a demonstration so I could share it here.
(There is a glitch in my software/computer so please forgive the section of video where it briefly turns red for no apparent reason.)
Yes, I picked up a copy when they weren’t looking! 🙂 Actually, one of the reps came into the press room and she offerred me a copy when I was working on the video of the Tetris costume, and that was sufficient incentive for me to go to their game booth and do my first video of Gen Con.
Did you end up getting this game? It looks interesting. |
Zhangixalus is a group of frogs in the subfamily Rhacophorinae, family Rhacophoridae. They are called Zhang's treefrogs in English. They live in the Eastern Himalayas, southern China, Taiwan, Japan, and southeast Asia.
Name
The frogs are named for Zhang Ya-Ping from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang worked in biodiversity and evolution research in China. Ixalus is a word that means treefrogs.
Taxonomy
Scientists made the group Zhangixalus in a 2019 when they were looking at the very large genus Rhacophorus (92 species). They divided Rhacophorus into three groups: Rhacophorus sensu stricto (then 39 species; as of November 2021, 43 species), Leptomantis (then 14 species; as of November 2021, 13 species), and Zhangixalus (then 37 species; as of November 2021, 40 species). They did this because of molecular data, such as DNA, but also because they could see differences in the frogs' bodies and in the places where they lived. Rhacophorus is the sister taxon of Zhangixalus and Leptomantis.
Description
Zhangixalus are large frogs, ranging between in from nose to rear end, but most are more than more than . The snout is round. The terminal phalanges of fingers and toes are Y-shaped. Dorsal skin is smooth or has some small bumps. Most frogs have green skins. The female lays eggs in white foam nests that the two frogs make together.
Zhangixalus has frogs that seem not to be related to other frogs: Z. achantharrhena, Z. dulitensis, and Z. prominanus. They are different from other Zhangixalus frogs: they have folds in their skin by their legs and tarsal projections. Scientists are not sure these species really should be in Zhangixalus.
Species
There are 41 species in this genus:
The AmphibiaWeb recognizes the same species except Zhangixalus amamiensis, which is treated as being part of Zhangixalus viridis. |

3x more millennials are watching TV compared to YouTube.
Millennials. It seems every business, journalist and pundit is trying to figure out this up-and-coming generation. Research abounds on their attitudes and preferences for work, play, family and home. One of the most common observations is the innate fluency these 18-to-34-year-olds have with technology.
However, this influential generation isn’t as digital as you might think. In fact:
Those are just two of the intriguing findings in recent advertising studies. They got us thinking about other generational stereotypes—exactly the kind of misperceptions that can derail a brand in the market.
Every generation defies expectations
Whether you’re 25, 45 or 65, no one wants to be pigeonholed into a one-size-fits-all description. That’s one of the inherent dangers of sweeping assumptions about generations.
Millennials often get a bad rap as lazy or entitled, expecting brands and employers to conform to their expectations. The media characterize Generation Xers, born between 1965 and 1980, as apathetic, cynical and disengaged − the classic rebels and slackers. Meanwhile, baby boomers are universally praised for their optimism, work ethic and cooperative spirit.
In fact, nuances exist within all age groups. Yes, millennials value diversity, inclusivity and meaningful work—but older adults also take pride in those tenets. Millennials are no more likely to job hop than employees in 1983, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor.
Likewise, technology adoption spans age ranges. Smart phones are just as essential for adults 55 and older as they are for millennials, with both groups showing similar patterns for frequency of usage. Older Americans also use smart watches more than any other demographic.
Three characteristics that unite generations
The takeaway for marketers? Use generational insights appropriately. Consider these similarities that can inform stronger and more effective broadcast campaigns:
In the end, winning campaigns will incorporate the broad outlines of any demographic and use those insights to guide your message and media. But, truly engaging, emotionally driven content will never fit inside a tightly drawn box. Don’t limit your options—and your ultimate results—with narrow, stereotypical observations.

Why I Love My Venue, Part II
One of the many nice things about the Clifton Inn is that for a small property, there's a lot to do and explore. It's really fun to wander around and discover new things.
Here's their pool area, with the infinity pool that pours over the edge in a waterfall:
They've got a grill and a seating area there, so you can relax in the outdoors:
Not only is there a pool, but there's also a hot tub (you can see it behind the flower urn). Whoo!
There are lots of trails to explore on the property, but my favorite is the little path leading down to a dock on Clifton's private lake. Perfect for photographs.
I love the lake. It's so lovely and serene down there.
I can't wait to get married here next September!

Heroin is a problem, and the response is changing
There's a word that describes this past January in the Battle Creek area: "horrific."
That's the word Sgt. Jeff Case of the Battle Creek Police Department used.
Because there were 29 opioid overdoses in the Battle Creek metropolitan area that month, eight of them fatal.
Opioids are painkillers: illegal drugs such as heroin, prescription drugs such as Vicodin and Oxycontin.

They have killed 45 people in the Battle Creek metropolitan area in the past 18 months. There have been 185 opioid overdoses here in that time.
When deaths do occur, Case said, it's usually because of dangerous additives in heroin, such as the potent synthetic opioids fentanyl and carfentanil.
In March, Calhoun County Sheriff Matt Saxton said at an anti-drug rally that opioid use is not an issue that police and prosecutors can solve on their own.
Responding to the epidemic, officials say, means treating it like a disease and not using jails as a solution.
More than 200 people have come through the doors of the Summit Pointe Recovery Center since they opened in March; 195 were admitted.
Some of those patients were brought in by police.
"We’re encouraging jail diversion, so let’s get these people some help," said Clinical Lead for Substance Use Disorder Services Shannon Roberts. "Let’s not take them to jail. I think the police are fully partnering with us on that."
The center is planning to provide cards to police officers to hand out to people who can benefit from the services.
Case said the center has been helpful for police and other organizations.
"If we have somebody that will fit that, or we feel like that can be a useful tool for them, we absolutely will assist in getting them into that spot," he said.
What is society’s responsibility?
Attitudes about drug abuse, and the best response to it, have changed a lot over the past few decades, said Barry Goetz, a sociology professor at Western Michigan University, who has studied drug addiction and community responses to it.
"It’s not the 1980s anymore," Goetz said. "But a lot of that has to do with context. The war on drugs was sold as, 'Let’s get rid of the violence and the trafficking.' It turned out we just ended up locking up a lot of users."
And, in the intervening decades, support built for alternate approaches.
"In the past, I think there has been much more of an effort to just say, 'Lock them up, dry them out and put them back to wherever they came from,'" said State Rep. John Bizon, who is also a physician. "Just throwing people in jail doesn’t necessarily help those who are addicted overcome their addiction. That’s really what they need."
Bizon, a Republican, said a bipartisan package of bills is working its way through the legislative process that addresses drug addiction, although he declined to go into specifics.
"With my medical hat on, I’m very interested in making sure that legislation that we pass around here would be good for our patients, good for the entire state of Michigan, all of our taxpayers and all of my constituents," Bizon said
But he said there's another question to consider.
"I could see expending a great many resources towards making our population better and healthier, but that often times requires their cooperation as well," Bizon said. "The question in my mind that I struggle with is, what is society’s responsibility for helping those members who don’t want to help themselves?"
Not a moral defect
The concept of treating drug addiction as a public health crisis rather than a criminal issue isn't new for those working in the system.
Calhoun County Public Health Department Medical Director Dr. William Nettleton said treating opiate addiction as a chronic, relapsing disease forms the foundation of the medical community's response.
"When a substance is introduced, like an opioid, the anatomy and the physiology of the brain changes," Nettleton said. "We can see that on imaging and we can see that in people’s behavior."
The wrong way to approach drug addiction, he said, is to call it a moral defect, something he said was common both in the medical community and among the public in the past.
That view is inaccurate, he said, and, perhaps more importantly, treating addiction as a character flaw just doesn't accomplish anything.
"So that paradigm shift is occurring of addiction as not a moral defect," Nettleton said. "This is a medical condition."
Calhoun County Substance Abuse Council Executive Director Dawn Smith said it helps to compare addiction to other diseases.
"We don’t deny people insulin for their poor choice, right, or medical treatment," Smith said. "So why would we punish people who also made a poor choice of also abusing a substance and is now considered a brain disease?"
Introducing drug court
The response to drug use in Calhoun County isn't limited to addiction recovery, though. The court system is still involved.
Calhoun County established a women's drug court in 2003 and a men's court in 2004.
Specialty courts are set up to steer people with non-violent drug and alcohol cases into programs that require things like job searching, drug testing and education.
According to a report from the Michigan State Court Administrative Office, there were 5,988 people discharged from specialty courts statewide in 2015 and 2016. Of those, 62 percent successfully completed the program, though the rates in drug courts were lower. Adult drug courts had a 35 percent success rate, and juvenile drug courts had a 49 percent rate.
Calhoun County Drug Court Coordinator William Essex said that for the court's last fiscal year, which is Oct. 1, 2015 to Sept. 30, 2016, there were 64 men and 41 women with open cases.
Essex said the court's graduation rate is usually 50 to 55 percent. The recidivism rate, he said, is around 30 percent.
"It’s hard work," Essex said. "Getting through drug court is not a small feat. We ask a lot of them. We’re very, very involved in their life. They have to be willing to do it. Some folks aren’t and some folks are."
Essex said in addition to state rules against violent offenders using drug courts, the Calhoun County court also doesn't accept dealers.
It's likely, he said, there are more people in drug treatment programs now than there would have been before drug courts were created.
“Jail’s the easy way out," Essex said. "In our program, they actually have to confront the very issues that has led them to their addiction and has fed that addiction over the years."
Goetz, whose book, "On The Frontlines of the Welfare State: How the Fire Service and Police Shape Social Problems," includes a discussion on where drug use and the law meet, said that approach can have its flaws. For one thing, it's still a process of putting someone through the criminal justice system.
Still, he said, drug courts are better than incarceration.
"What may be successful is, you’re getting attention," Goetz said. "They’re giving people structure."
Race and the opioid overdose
The opioid problem, according to data, isn't hitting every population in the same way.
In 2015, the rate of death from opioid overdoses was 1,052 per 100,000 for Michigan's white residents, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. It was 181 per 100,000 for its black residents, 49 per 100,000 for Hispanic people. The foundation didn't give numbers for other racial or ethnic groups.
The Coordinating Council of Calhoun County reports that, from January 2015 to October 2016, there were 350 opioid overdoses in the county, fatal and non-fatal. The victims in 328 of those instances were white.
Goetz said race is a factor in how the response to the opioid epidemic is formed.
"I have no doubt about that," he said.
Heroin users were often thought of as being poor and black, Goetz said, and sometimes poor and white.
"Now that kind of attitude has really changed, and it’s more rural, and it’s recognized that it’s part of the oxycodone epidemic," Goetz said, referring to a prescription painkiller.
'Gift of desperation'
David White is a recovery coach at the Recovery Center.
The coaches there are people who've had their own drug or alcohol use problems and can relate to the people coming through the door.
White is originally from Chicago. About 30 years ago, he said, he owned a restaurant and a real estate business. And he became addicted to drugs, including opioids.
"But the addiction grew during that time," White said. "It was addiction to anything mind or mood altering. Whenever I would start taking it, I would use until there was nothing left."
He now calls what addiction gave him a “gift of desperation.”
He turned things around, got clean, but it was health care that allowed him to do it, he said, and not a jail cell.
“For me, addiction and mental health have gone hand in hand,” he said. “I wasn’t really going to get sober, until both were dealt with effectively.”

Ten months after breaking round on its $2.5-billion redevelopment of the Century Plaza hotel, developer Woodbridge Capital Partners is preparing to lay the foundation of the twin residential towers that will rise at the back of the property.
The pair of 46-story buildings, designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, are designed in the form of Reuleaux triangles, echoing Minoru Yamsaaki's Century Plaza Towers across the street. A toal of 300 condominiums and a variety of amenity spaces are planned through the towers.
Next-door, the 16-story Century Plaza hotel is being revived with a 400-room Fairmont Hotel, 93,000 square feet of commercial space and 63 condominiums on its upper floors. Gensler and Marmol Radziner are designing the adaptive reuse component of the development, building upon original work by Minoru Yamsaaki.
The project also includes new landscaping and open space, designed by Rios Clementi Hale Studios.
An opening is scheduled for 2018, five years in advance of the arrival of the Purple Line subway in Century City.
