Amazon Theater
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro failed to attend the summit of leaders of seven South American countries with Amazon Basin territory to address the devastating fires now consuming the rainforest. Duque claimed a medical emergency, and was represented by his foreign minister, Ernesto Araujo, at the meeting in Colombia's Amazonian city of Leticia on Sept. 6. The presidents of Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia as well as Araujo, the natural resouces minister of Guyana and vice president of Suriname agreed to form an "Amazonian cooperation network" to track deforestation across borders. Venezuela, despite having a large swath of Amazonian territory, was not invited, as Colombia does not recognize the presidency of Nicolas Maduro. Brazil has the largest share of the Amazon by far, and Bolsonaro's failure to attend was assailed by environmentalists worldwide.
President Evo Morales announced Aug. 21 that Bolivia has contracted a Boeing 747 "Supertanker" to help extinguish huge forest fires in the Amazon have that have spread over the border from Brazil. The giant air-tanker, capable of carrying up to 19,200 gallons (72,680 liters) of water or fire retardant, was flown from California to Viru Viru International Airport in Bolivia's eastern city of Santa Cruz, on lease from the firm Global Supertanker. Morales has also mobilized army helicopters to evacuate affected communites deep in the rainforest. Some 500,000 hectares of forest are now said to be in flames in Bolivia. (Fire Aviation, TeleSur, Folha de S.Paulo, Aug. 22)
Brazilian authorities are investigating the murder of an indigenous leader in the northern state of Amapá, in the Amazon region, where violence has escalated since a group of some 50 heavily armed men—believed to be garimpeiros, or outlaw gold-miners—reportedly invaded the Wajãpi indigenous reserve. On the morning of July 23, indigenous chief Emyra Wajãpi was found stabbed to death close to Waseity village where he lived, according to the Council of Wajãpi Villages (APINA). Three days later, the group of armed men appeared in the neighboring Yvytotõ indigenous village and threatened residents, forcing them to flee to the nearby village of Mariry, according to APINA.
Thousands of illegal gold-miners (garimpeiros) have invaded Yanomami Park, one of Brazil's largest indigenous reserves, demarcated in 1992, and covering 96,650 square kilometers of rainforest in the states of Roraima and Amazonas, near the border with Venezuela. An incursion of this scale has not occurred for a generation, bringing back memories among Yanomami elders of the terrible period in the late 1980s, when some 40,000 garimpeiros moved onto their lands and about a fifth of the indigenous population died in just seven years due to violence, malaria, malnutrition, mercury poisoning and other causes.
The high court of Ecuador's Pastaza province on July 12 upheld a lower court ruling to protect the land rights of the Waorani indigenous people from oil drilling. The Pastaza Court of Justice rejected the Environment Ministry's appeal of the lower court decision to bar plans to open 180,000 hectares of Amazon rainforest to oil development before "prior consultation" with the Waorani is carried out. (AFP, July 12) Simultaneously, however, the Ministry approved the environmental assessment plans to drill for oil in a sensitive area of Yasuni National Park, where isolated or "uncontacted" indigenous peoples are believed to be living.
Deforestation in Brazil's portion of the Amazon rainforest rose more than 88% in June compared with the same month a year ago—the second consecutive month of rising forest loss under far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. According to data from the Brazilian Space Agency, deforestation totaled 920 square kilometers (355 square miles). (The Guardian, July 3) An analysis of satellite data by BBC News finds that "An area of Amazon rainforest roughly the size of a football pitch [soccer field] is now being cleared every single minute." A sobering study published June 24 in the journal Nature: Climate Change warns of a feedback loop in which climate change fueled in large part by rainforest destruction may itself become a cause of rainforest destruction and biodiversity loss: "Deforestation is currently the major threat to Amazonian tree species but climate change may surpass it in just a few decades." (Courthouse News Service)
Defense lawyers for the 53 indigenous activists who were cleared of charges in the 2009 Bagua massacre were ordered to testify before a Peruvian Supreme Court magistrate June 26, as the high court's penal chamber considers a request from the government for a retrial in the case. The defendants were acquitted by a lower court in 2016 in the slaying of National Police troops in the clash at Bagua, which began when police attacked an indigenous roadblock during a protest campaign against oil and resource exploitation in the rainforest. By official figures, 33 were slain in the incident, including 10 indigenous activists. In 2017, Peru's Prosecutor General and Public Ministry called upon the Supreme Court to review the acquittals. The high court agreed to consider a retrail for the crimes of riot, illegal possession of firearms and obstruction of public services, although not homicide.
A new rupture on the disaster-plagued North Peruvian Pipeline fouled local water sources that several indigenous communities depend on in Peru's rainforest region of Loreto. The spill occurred June 19 at kilometer 227 on the pipeline, in Manseriche district, Datem del Marañón province. The government's Environmental Evaluation & Fiscalization Organism (OEFA) is overseeing recovery efforts, but the local communities of Nuevo Progreso and Saramiriza are demanding emergency potable water deliveries, saying they have been without clean water since the spill. Pipeline operator PetroPeru is blaming the rupture on "an act of delinquency" by local residents. (Gestión, EFE, June 23; InfoRegion, Gestión, June 19)

Various containers are used to hold medicine or other contents that must be used in a sensitive fashion (e.g., according to a strict medication schedule). Some containers are provided with indicators that may inform a user about the manner in which the contents ought to be used. However, safely and securely managing the variable information of such indicators has heretofore been infeasible.

Q:
How to adjust size of programatically created Bitmap to match text drawn on it?
I have the following .ashx page that takes some query string parameters and returns a bitmap with the specified text written on it.
The problem I have is that I am currently just manually setting the initial size of the bitmap at 100 X 100 when what I really want is to have the bitmap be just big enough to include all the text that was written to it.
How can I do this?
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
context.Response.ContentType = "image/png";
string text = context.Request.QueryString["Text"];
//set FontName
string fontName;
if (context.Request.QueryString["FontName"] != null)
{
fontName = context.Request.QueryString["FontName"];
}
else
{
fontName = "Arial";
}
//Set FontSize
int fontEms;
if (context.Request.QueryString["FontSize"] != null)
{
string fontSize = context.Request.QueryString["FontSize"];
fontEms = Int32.Parse(fontSize);
}
else
{
fontEms = 12;
}
//Set Font Color
System.Drawing.Color color;
if (context.Request.QueryString["FontColor"] != null)
{
string fontColor = context.Request.QueryString["FontColor"];
color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(fontColor);
context.Response.Write(color.ToString());
}
else
{
color = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
using (System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection fnts = new System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection())
using (System.Drawing.FontFamily fntfam = new System.Drawing.FontFamily(fontName))
using (System.Drawing.SolidBrush brush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(color))
using (System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(100, 100))
{
using (System.Drawing.Font fnt = new System.Drawing.Font(fntfam, fontEms))
{
fnts.AddFontFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\Development\Fonts\", fontName));
System.Drawing.Graphics graph = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
graph.DrawString(text, fnt, brush, new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0));
string imgPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\Development\MyPath\Images\Text", System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName());
bmp.Save(imgPath);
context.Response.WriteFile(imgPath);
}
}
}
Update:
I wound up creating the Bitmap larger than I would ever need, get the graphics from that bitmap and use the MeasureString method to get the size the text I am going to write and then crop that part of the bitmap into a new bitmap like so.
using (System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection fnts = new System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection())
using (System.Drawing.FontFamily fntfam = new System.Drawing.FontFamily(fontName))
using (System.Drawing.SolidBrush brush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(color))
using (System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(500, 500))
{
using (System.Drawing.Font fnt = new System.Drawing.Font(fntfam, fontEms))
{
fnts.AddFontFile(System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\Development\Fonts\", fontName));
System.Drawing.Graphics graph = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
System.Drawing.SizeF bmpSize = graph.MeasureString(text, fnt);
System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0), bmpSize.ToSize());
System.Drawing.Bitmap croppedBmp = bmp.Clone(rect, bmp.PixelFormat);
graph = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(croppedBmp);
graph.DrawString(text, fnt, brush, new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0));
string imgPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"C:\Development\MyPath\Images\Text", System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName());
croppedBmp.Save(imgPath);
context.Response.WriteFile(imgPath);
}
}
A:
I would guess there's a System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString method which will return the size of the specified text using the specified font.
Then, you may resize your image accordingly, or resize your text accordingly in order to make them both fit together.
Perhaps an eye out to this question and answers will guide you somehow, as the question is about sizing text so that it may fit within an area. You seem to wish to make something alike, so the algorithm may inspire you.

IT’S THE RICH WHAT GETS THE PLEASURE (by any means necessary and no matter what it takes)
Robert Reich is
Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at
Berkeley and was part of Bill Clinton’s cabinet. He nutshell’s the current social
savagery neatly and succinctly.
“Suppose a small group of extremely wealthy people sought to
systematically destroy the U.S. government by (1) finding and bankrolling new
candidates pledged to shrinking and dismembering it; (2) intimidating or
bribing many current senators and representatives to block all proposed
legislation, prevent the appointment of presidential nominees, eliminate funds
to implement and enforce laws, and threaten to default on the nation's debt;
(3) taking over state governments in order to redistrict, gerrymander, require
voter IDs, purge voter rolls, and otherwise suppress the votes of the majority
in federal elections; (4) running a vast PR campaign designed to convince the
American public of certain big lies, such as climate change is a hoax, and (5)
buying up the media so the public cannot know the truth.

Why not call it what it is? It's the mixed economy model, and it exists solely to farm up corruption, fertilized with moral hazard.
The mixed economy model is not capitalism, it's socialism. Communism is established by force. Socialism is established by vote. Their destination is identical and it is called despotism.
I do not embrace collective action period. No gods, no masters; I govern myself accordingly. No valid philosophy can't be practiced to the nth degree. I am not motivated by fear or greed. I am only motivated toward truth.
It isn't treason for the sheeple to prepare themselves for slaughter, initiating force against individuals. It's simple devolution into unconscious behavior. They are entitled to their suffering, leave them be. There are no victims.
Every individual has the opportunity to awaken at any moment, or not. Collective action yields zero utility. Enlightenment can not be withheld or given away. There is no separateness. All things will happen, because all things can happen. Truth is infinite. If that isn't enough, yer shit outta luck, because 99.99% of the human race is pure scum by choice, and according to history books always has been. The answer is found only at the individual level.
Ain't no woodchuck season, that is they're varmints taken year 'round. Keeps one alert. Find two together and they're easy prey. Same as most "things". Shot two hidden in 3ft high hay-field, locked snarling in a death match. Walked right up to them.
Very sad news that I heard today. I was lucky to see the last full Deviants gig in June. Mick clearly wasn't as well as would be hoped, but was in good form afterwards and this is a shock. Too young in the 60s, I vividly remember the great NME pieces of the mid-70s that shook us into life, a standard that this blog maintained. Thanks for a towering talent.
I didn't know you as long or as well as I would have liked, but thank you for the time. It was great to meet a kindred spirit, and share some time with him. hank you for all the wonderful music and literature. Thank you for a blog that made me think and laugh and cry sometimes. I will miss you. BUT MOFO YOU WENT OUT ROCKIN'!!! I would expect no less from you. Made me even prouder to have known you. I doubt you really want to RIP, so ROCK ON!
I keep coming back here, will the blog keep going on forever without him ? If you didn't know and love his books , would you feel the same ? Miss you dude, though we never met, you were the best of a us mate.
Dear Sirs & Ma'amsI beg to enquire , where may I find Mick's grave and final resting place? I have been a loyal fan of his fiction works since 70s, and desire dearly to pay my respects to Mick, not having had the opportunity or privilege of meeting him in person on this plane. Thank you sirYours sincerelyFoo from Singapore
My humble tribute to Mick.If its not too maudlin and gawkish, should any friend visit his tomb, please help me read to him
IN MEMORIUM MICHAEL ANTHONY 'MICK' FARREN
You are the Bringer of rare & exotic visionsStory teller, songsmith, poetry-spinning BardWild Child Supreme of the Age of AquariusYou lived the life described by your songs and storiesRode the lightning, flew the clouds of fancyYou lived, loved, drank, smoked, sang , danced and pranced like An excellent hero from your bookYou lived and departed this Plane in the manner of Legends, Bathed in applause and spotlightsShades and boots on, taking no bull from nobodyWith you gone, endeth an epochOf true Love, Peace, Truth & BeautyMick, stand by the left of Zeus' throneAND ROCK O-O-O-ON!!!!
Just threw the majority of your music choices from your video posts onto my Spotify list. Thank you for your autobio, your music, and your taste in music. Your writings have helped me separate the wheat from the chaff and I've gotten into so much heavy-duty 50's rock from them. RIP.

The once-secretive, now–notorious Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group ran its online propaganda and manipulation operations at home as well as abroad.
JTRIG's domestic operations used fake accounts to "deter," "promote distrust" and "discredit" in political discussions on social media, uploaded fake book/magazine articles with "incorrect information," hacked websites, set up ecommerce sites that were fraudulent operations designed to rip off their adversaries and so on. They relied on psychological research on inspiring "obedience" and "conformity" to inform their work.
Most of the groups targeted by JTRIG are ones I have little time for — Islamic extremists, neo-Nazis, etc — but the right way for a state to intervene in political debates isn't through secret misinformation campaigns. The philosophies of these groups are laughable on their face, and it's alarming to learn that the UK establishment's go-to rebuttal for ideas this dumb is to create fake newspaper articles. If that's how debate works at Eton and Oxbridge, it's no wonder Prime Minister's Question Time is such a clownshow.
JTRIG's domestic and law enforcement operations are made clear. The report states that the controversial unit "currently collaborates with other agencies" including the Metropolitan police, Security Service (MI5), Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Border Agency, Revenue and Customs (HMRC), and National Public Order and Intelligence Unit (NPOIU). The document highlights that key JTRIG objectives include "providing intelligence for judicial outcomes;" monitoring "domestic extremist groups such as the English Defence League by conducting online HUMINT;" "denying, deterring or dissuading" criminals and "hacktivists;" and "deterring, disrupting or degrading online consumerism of stolen data or child porn." It touts the fact that the unit "may cover all areas of the globe." Specifically, "operations are currently targeted at" numerous countries and regions including Argentina, Eastern Europe and the UK. JTRIG's domestic operations fit into a larger pattern of UK-focused and traditional law enforcement activities within GCHQ.

If you ever thought to yourself that those "warranty void if removed stickers" that often adorn various electronics are bullshit, good news—the Federal Trade Commission thinks so too. In an attempt to crack down on conditional warranty coverage, the FTC sent letters outlining its concerns over warranty clauses to six "major companies," and it specifically mentioned those stickers.
The FTC didn't say which specific companies it sent letters to, but did mention they include firms that market and sell automobiles, cellular devices, and gaming systems in the United States.
"Provisions that tie warranty coverage to the use of particular products or services harm both consumers who pay more for them as well as the small businesses who offer competing products and services," said Thomas B. Pahl, Acting Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
The FTC is concerned that companies might be violating the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is a law that governs consumer product warranties and prohibits certain restrictions. In its letters, the agency provided three examples of what it deems to be "questionable provisions" found on different products. They include:
The use of [company name] parts is required to keep your . . . manufacturer’s warranties and any extended warranties intact.
This warranty shall not apply if this product . . . is used with products not sold or licensed by [company name].
This warranty does not apply if this product . . . has had the warranty seal on the [product] altered, defaced, or removed.
According to the FTC, those types of provisions are generally prohibited unless a company provides free part replacements and repairs, or has received a waiver from the FTC.
With regard to the warranty stickers, companies often place labels over screws or other parts of hardware that inevitably end up broken if opening the device. The stickers warn that removing or otherwise destroying them will immediately void the manufacturer's warranty. This in effect forces consumes to forgo do-it-yourself repairs or paying a potentially reduced rate to a third-party repair shop, rather than going through the manufacturer.
The FTC says "it is illegal to condition warranty coverage on the use of specified parts or services." Companies receiving letters on the topic are being asked to review their warranty terms to make sure they are in compliance with the law, Furthermore, the FTC says it will be reviewing each company's website after 30 days to ensure compliance, otherwise they may face legal action.

Racists and idiots come out of woodwork during Obama’s Facebook Townhall
However it seems that the idiots and racists have decided that it is also a great place to insert their mind-numbingly stupid spewing of hatred. Why the moderators of the chat part of the live stream aren’t stepping in is beyond me but this is just a sample of some of the hateful crap coming through in the chatroom.

You could enter their base escorted by a monk, but the monk would simply be killed. Though, if I remember correctly, you need to talk them into not trying to murder you if you killed any of their soldiers, and you need to agree to forfeit your weapons.

Effects of adrenaline or endotoxin tolerance states on mesenteric blood flow in endotoxaemia.
Endotoxic shock is associated with release of catecholamines as well as decreased mesenteric vascular perfusion, which is thought to cause remote organ injury. Adrenaline tolerance was reported to decrease mortality in endotoxic shock and have cross-tolerance with endotoxin tolerance. Our aim was to investigate the effect of these two tolerance conditions on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced decrease in mesenteric blood flow (MBF). Adrenaline tolerance was developed by injecting 0.03 mg/kg adrenaline to Swiss-albino mice, gradually increasing the dose to 2 mg/kg over 5 days. Endotoxin tolerance was developed by injecting saline for 4 days and LPS 1 mg/kg at the fifth day. Control animals were injected with saline for 5 days. At 72 h after completion of injections, half of the animals in each group were challenged with saline and the other half with 20 mg/kg LPS, at 0 h. Mesenteric blood flow was measured at 4 and 24 h. Neither endotoxin nor adrenaline tolerance prevented an LPS-induced decrease in MBF. A low dose of LPS prior to a higher dose does not prevent an LPS-induced decrease in MBF and may actually prime for a decrease. Also, catecholamines are not primary mediators of LPS-induced decreases in MBF.

Drawing inspiration from arcade games such as Tetris, King of Fighter and House of the Dead, The Wedding Avenger is at once Alice in the Wonderland meet Street Fighter. This is a tale about a woman who must confront the repercussions of being in a marriage that she is not ready for."
We have a chat with Michelle Cheong and Lydia Shah about the making of The Wedding Avenger, which will be screened, August 14th, at the National Museum as part of the Singapore 8th Short Cuts.
****
1. So, what gave you the inspiration for coming up with 'The Wedding Avenger'?
MC: When I was writing the story I was going through a few big changes in my life. Sometimes it feels like life just really moves along like an epic bullet train that doesn't give a shit to your feelings or if you are ready. And thus the story about a protagonist who was afraid to face married life was born. I felt that marriage is one of the biggest change in life anybody could ever go through so it was a good premise to build the story. But most importantly I wanted to make a story that was fun to make and hilarious to watch!
2. What was the toughest moment you had to go through while making this film?
MC: We had a big number of actors and actresses. And a few of them dropped us very, very close to shoot date. But you can only blame it on bad fengshui and move on! Also it was hard for me to finish the script because I wanted it to be perfect. My crew had many, many drafts that I couldn't stop updating and I can only say that it is thanks to their patience that I could finally get it out, and I'm grateful for that. Thank god for Lydia being understanding and calm! I'm sure other producers would have kicked my butt.
LS: What WASN'T! Casting was the biggest hurdle for me. We took two months to decide on Chanel as our lead and many of the actors who agreed to come onboard as supporting cast, backed out on us as late as the day of shoot. The second biggest hurdle was finding a church that would allow us to film in. That took us about 6 months before finally we found a church that would support us.
3. Why did you choose to present it in an arcade world?
MC: I have a friend who was studying in NTU's Interactive Media class who once told me something along the lines that games are an interactive form of cinema. Debatable? Nonetheless it left a lasting impression. When you play games there is usually a very clear storyline. The character's motivation is obvious and the goal is clear. There is an obvious antagonist, and the gamer becomes the character the moment he presses play. There are of course more parallels. In the story Jade the main protagonist retreats into the arcade world to confront her inner fears. As a child of the Street Fighter era, video games represented to me a refusal to grow up, and a space to escape to. But the strongest reason was that I felt in life it is almost as if sometimes you must move on to the next level or it would be game over.
4. And what is your favourite moment making this film?
MC: My favourite moments were when Lydia appeared with Koi! Haha but to be honest I loved it when all the departments came together and complemented each other to bring the scene on life. It is amazing to watch how my vision in my head and words on paper take on a totally different life as it is played out before me on set and later on the big screen.
LS: I don't know about Michelle but for me it was on the very first day of shoot where we were doing the car scene. Our gaffers were trying find a way to create moving shadows on a supposedly moving vehicle, using Dedo lights and C-stands. Our Head gaffer Jmin came up with an on-set invention called 'Helicopter Lights' (refer to attached image) which allowed us to spin Dedos mounted on the C-Stand arms. Whenever we rolled camera, it was a very grand affair: The projector would run, about 3 separate 'Helicopter Lights' would spin simultaneously and one 'Crane Light' would be panned back and forth over the Volkswagen. It was like a dance of lights. It was a very magical shoot.

chicksdaddy writes: "The security firm Bit9 released a more detailed analysis of the hack of its corporate network was part of a larger operation that was aimed a firms in a “very narrow market space” and intended to gather information from the firms. The analysis, posted on Monday on Bit9s blog is the most detailed to date of a hack that was first reported on February 8 by the blog Krebsonsecurity.com, but that began in July, 2012. In the analysis, by Bit9 Chief Technology Officer Harry Sverdlove said 32 separate malware files and malicious scripts were whitelisted in the hack. Bit9 declined to name the three customers affected by the breach, or the industry segment that was targeted, but denied that it was a government agency or a provider of critical infrastructure such as energy, utilities or banking.The small list of targets — just three — and the fact that one malware program was communicating with a system involved in a recent "sinkholing operation" raises the specter that the hack of Bit9 may have played a part in the recent attacks on Facebook, Twitter and Apple, though Bit9 declined to name the firms or the market they serve."Link to Original Source

Image copyright TLP Image caption Jan de Nul bid for contracts worth £500m
The Jan de Nul Group is the Belgian company behind concerns over making a Chinese company the preferred bidder to build the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon.
It queried a potential conflict of interest surrounding the award of the contract to China Harbour Engineering.
It said it had concerns about a long-term partnership between CHEC and Atkins, the designated engineer.
Atkins said it did not collaborate with CHEC on this project. The tender was "robust" said Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay.
Jan de Nul said it expressed concerns about the process to the Belgian government, which has written formally to the UK Government asking whether the procedure was fair to all the companies bidding.
The Belgian company claimed Atkins would have been instrumental in the scoring of those bids but Atkins said its role was to "prepare the detailed design specification for the construction work to be put out to tender... assessing each submission against the initial design specification."
It said it was TLSB's decision to choose supplier, and that it had not collaborated with CHEC on the work to date. TLSB said details of each tender were confidential.
The UK Government has yet to respond.

[Myocardial stunning due to simultaneous multivessel coronary spasms: a review of 5 cases].
Five patients with typical myocardial stunning were presented. They had chest pain and had electrocardiographic abnormalities matching the symptoms of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but had no coronary artery stenoses on angiogram (CAG). The prevalence of cases with these clinical manifestations was 1.2% among 415 consecutive AMI patients who were examined invasively. The electrocardiographic abnormalities varied; ST elevations were observed in 4 patients, R waves decreased transiently in one, and Q waves developed in one patient. Typical left ventriculogram (LVG) was akinesis in the apical, diaphragmatic and/or anterolateral segments, but hyperkinesis in the basal segments. This akinesis was transient and resolved in 7 days. CAG revealed diffuse multi-vessel spasms in 2 patients, which were also observed in additional 2 patients after ergonovine administration. The intracoronary administration of nitroglycerin disclosed no coronary artery stenoses in any of the patients.

That’s the statement Corey Long gave today outside the Charlottesville General District Courthouse after he was convicted of disorderly conduct for lighting an aerosol can and pointing it in the direction of white supremacists on August 12.
Community activists wiped tears from their eyes and hastily left the courthouse when Judge Robert Downer sentenced Long to 360 days in jail, with all but 20 suspended, after Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania advocated for no jail time.
“I find that this behavior was very serious,” Downer said when he went against the prosecutor’s recommendation.
After the conviction, Long’s legal adviser offered a few more words than his client.
“Corey Long was and is and remains a hero,” said Malik Shabazz, president of Black Lawyers for Justice, to cheers from the dozens of community activists who showed up in support of the 24-year-old who they say protected the town during the Unite the Right rally that left three people dead and many injured.
Shabazz echoed what the activists have been saying since his client was charged: “Corey Long did nothing wrong.”
He advised that in Virginia, inmates with good behavior only serve half of their sentenced time for misdemeanor charges, and said Long will likely be incarcerated for 10 days. Long was ordered to report to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail on June 22.
Shabazz told Long they’ll be the “proudest days you will serve in your life,” and reminded him and the crowd that Martin Luther King Jr. was also arrested and convicted.
As white supremacists filed out of Emancipation Park on August 12, immediately after law enforcement had declared the Unite the Right rally an unlawful assembly, Frank Buck testified that he heard someone say, “Kill the nigger.” He then saw Baltimore Ku Klux Klan leader Richard Preston point his handgun at Long, who was outside of the park and holding the homemade flamethrower with his arm extended. Buck said the flames were first between 20 and 24 inches, and then a bit shorter.
“I thought [Long] was going to be shot and killed,” Buck said. “I then heard the gunshot.”
He says he saw the bullet hit the ground near Long’s feat, causing a tuft of dirt to shoot into the air. He then saw Preston lower his gun and exit the area.
“I lit the can because he wouldn’t get out of my presence,” Long told the judge, though it is unclear whether he was referring to Preston or another man who can be seen swinging a rolled up flag at Long in a photo of the incident that has since gone viral.
Richmond-based defense attorney Jeroyd Greene said Long had been spit on and called racial slurs that day, and that Long first sprayed his aerosol can without lighting it. He only lit it when he perceived a threat, which doesn’t make a case for disorderly conduct, the attorney argued.
In fact, Greene said two men, including Preston, who fell out of line with their white supremacist allies and moved toward Long once they walked down the steps at the park, were the true aggressors who acted disorderly.
“There’s no evidence that they’re doing anything at all but walking down the steps,” said Platania, who argued that lighting the aerosol can was enough of an “annoyance or alarm,” which is required to prove a disorderly conduct had been committed.
Downer said the state’s disorderly conduct statute is complicated and problematic, and in his 17 years of experience, he’s seen only a few people convicted of the crime.
“I don’t have the least bit of doubt of his guilt of disorderly conduct,” Downer said. “It clearly motivated people to react in a way that involved a breach of the peace.”
Preston pleaded no contest May 9 to a charge of discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, a class 4 felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and fine up to $100,000.
Long was also accused of assault and battery by rally attendee Harold Crews in a separate incident, but Platania said he was unable to reach Crews, and the charge was dismissed.
In the crowd of activists outside the general district court was Kendall Bills, the daughter of local philanthropists Michael Bills and Sonja Smith, who was also involved in August 12 litigation after Dennis Mothersbaugh, whom she calls a “neo-Nazi,” punched her in the face during the rally.
The video of the Indiana man clocking her has also gone viral. Mothersbaugh pleaded guilty to assault in November.
“He was sentenced to a decent amount of jail time, but, more importantly, I was not subject to the intimidation and harassment that now men of color—especially DeAndre Harris, Corey Long and Donald Blakney—are facing in this community,” she said. “As a white woman, I was protected. My case was settled quickly.”
Bills said she took to the streets on August 12 to do exactly what those three black men did, which was “trying to protect and defend our community,” but she hasn’t faced the same “inappropropriate judicial harassment” and retribution the men continue to face in their personal lives.
“The city of Charlottesville should be ashamed today,” she said. “I am proud to be a Charlottesville community member many days, but today is not one of them.”

In the final day of the Monument Fund’s lawsuit against the city, Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore ruled that the plaintiffs won’t be awarded damages, but will receive a to-be-determined amount in attorneys’ fees that’ll be less than the original ask of over $604,000.

The Liberals are so easy to make fun of, they're a "sit on your ass and make false promises" party that SHOULD have my vote and the majority of the country's based on my overall beliefs (at least socially), but are such a poorly run party that until they fix themselves I wouldn't even consider voting for them.
Also I've been going to bed earlier and working out a lot now that I have a cpap machine. I have a lot more energy and working hard but still eating too much Trying to spend less time on my ass that's all. Tough to load up on posts. Maybe I'll try and put in more from work

So today is our first official day as employees of Barstool Sports. We got our quaint little 150 square foot Ukrainian Village office where we’re gonna be hammering the keys giving our hot takes on Chicago sports and pop culture from now until rapture, and we’ve made it into our home. I love this place for the simple fact that it’s legit 2 blocks from me. We’ve all seen how good of an arm I have – give me a week to get my arm strength up playing a little long toss and I could pepper our office from my apartment.
That said, today I woke up and for the first time in my life, I was excited to go to work. It’s truly a surreal feeling enjoying what you do.
Anyways, I wake up, shit/shower/shave, and it dawned on me: I no longer have a dress code. Another surreal feeling. So what do I wear? You bet your ass I threw on a pair of sweats. And I did it thinking I’d walk into the office and get SMOKED for perpetuating internet blogger stereotypes. Wrong. Wrong.
Literally all of us strolled into the office wearing sweats as if we were about to kick it on a Sunday afternoon and binge watch 14 episodes of the Sopranos:
On top of that, I drove to work this morning. I was out late last night kicking it with Rear Admiral and a few guys after the Winter Classic and just didn’t feel like walking 400 feet down the road. I drove to to a building 2 blocks away and took the last parking spot. Carl was legitimately in awe that I pulled that move.
And then we went and ate Italian beefs and hot dogs across the street. I got back to the office and came to a realization:
I’m a fat. Chief’s a fat. Eddie’s a fat. And Carl’s a fat.
Now Carl is the only one who has a built in excuse because he’s married and married people are allowed to be fat. The rest of us are in our primes however, and there’s no excuse for not only perpetuating internet blogger stereotypes, but Chicago/Midwest stereotypes as well.
And at 5’10”, and officially 200 pounds, I do that. I apologize to all those who look up to me. I’ve put on 15 pounds in the last 3-4 months. Disgusting, and I’m sorry for letting you all down. #InternetBloggersLivesMatter
Now I know this may come as a shock to you, as I did in fact complete the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 5 hours and 25 minutes, yada yada big fucking deal. But I’ve slipped a little bit this fall. Consuming Italian beefs and pizza by the truckload will put the bad weight on you.
So myself, Chief, Eddie and Carl are going to join a boxing gym, and in 2019 we’re gonna get hot as shit. I’m talking a 90 degree sauna old school style boxing gym so we can shed off this excess weight and fuck up 2019. Rocky is a fucking half-whitted loser and I wish Drago would have sent him by way of Adonis Creed, but that’s the style boxing gym we’re in the market for:
So if you own a swank ass gym anywhere in Chicago city limits and would like to help 4 bloggers, 3 of which are so unathletic they can hardly walk and myself who’s a finely tuned genetic masterpiece hand crafted by god himself, hit us up @redlineradio

There are only two possibilities that make sense to me: 1] MurryMom is FR's official pet troll 2] MurryMom is really someone's crazy relative who is let out of the closet for a bit of fresh air every now and then. Sort of like Catherine Baker Knoll. Or "Mama T" Heinz.

And furthermore, he’s just playing this class-envy game by attempting to convince people that he’s just shifting the burden of funding government to greedy rich people. You know, cut taxes on the “middle class” (which is whatever he wants it to be) and force those “who can afford it” to pay for it. Those people who receive tax cuts are going to be awfully surprised when the people who employ them now can no longer afford to to so in the very near future under a President 0bama.

She strikes me as someone who is deep-down inside MISERABLE and full of hatred. I cannot even stand hearing her voice. I think she is a phony, bitter old hag. She is not funny in the least; she spends her time insulting and degrading everyone around her. Ugh, I cannot stand that woman.
Joe the Plumber fantasizes about having a $250K income, when hes more in the $100K. In the Bush economy Joe, the registered Republican, is lucky to have any kind of job let alone a business making $250K+ yearly.
We've got relatives who made it through the Great Depression. They're concerned about what's going on now, but not scared. They put things in perspective for me. You might try to get a little of that. Perspective, I mean :)

Next Miss America Could Be Pilot, Governor, Alpaca Farmer
In this Aug. 30, 2017 photo, Miss America contestants sit during a welcoming ceremony in Atlantic City, N.J. The next Miss America will be crowned on Sept. 10. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry)
BY WAYNE PARRY ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- One wants to be the first female governor of North Dakota. One is a half-blind baton twirler who performed at a Super Bowl. Another wants to chase tornadoes.
One wants to run an alpaca farm, another is a former NFL cheerleader, yet another wants to sing the National Anthem at a Boston Red Sox game, and there is another who wants to be a criminal profiler for the FBI.
The 51 women vying to become the next Miss America have a wide range of interests, dreams and backgrounds, which they'll be sharing with the nation this week in the run-up to Sunday's nationally televised finale of the scholarship pageant.
"I really want to be a real-life Miss Congeniality," says Miss Nevada, Andrea Martinez. Unlike the movie in which FBI agent Sandra Bullock enters a national pageant to prevent a crime, Martinez is trying it in reverse order: Become Miss America, THEN become an FBI agent.
She was in the process of becoming a police officer in Las Vegas when she won her state title, delaying the start of a law enforcement career she hopes will culminate with her becoming a criminal profiler for the FBI. Her pageant platform involves bringing police departments and local communities together to lessen tensions and foster mutual respect.
"Being a minority and being expected to have a certain view of law enforcement, I actually saw both sides and helped expose both sides to each other," she said.
Miss Colorado, Meredith Winnefeld, has been blind in her right eye since birth. Her platform is on vision care for young children.
Her visual disability made it harder, but not impossible, to pursue her love - baton twirling.
"I had to teach myself and take the time to know I'd be able to do it," she said.
She won a national championship at age 11, and performed at the 2015 Super Bowl. Her dream is to twirl at another one - but this time, it will be won by the Denver Broncos.
Miss North Dakota, Cara Mund, wants to be the first woman elected governor of her state. She wants to see more women elected to all levels of government.
"It's important to have a woman's perspective," said Mund, who had an internship in the U.S. Senate. "In health care and on reproductive rights, it's predominantly men making those decisions."
Miss Maine, Katie Elliot, has similar ambitions. Her platform encourages female leadership in American government, with the acronym "FLAG." She's been interested in politics and government since winning an election to be seventh grade class president.
"I'm a huge admirer of democracy, but what I noticed is a huge disparity between the number of men and women," she said, adding she wants to encourage more women to see elected public service as a viable career path.
Time studying in the Middle East and Africa got Miss Oregon, Harley Emery, deeply interested in the refugee crisis. She founded a group at the University of Oregon called "No Lost Generation" that helps teach resettled refugees English and find them jobs. She befriended refugees from Syria and Iraq, among others.
Other interesting contestants facts include:
- Miss California, Jillian Smith, is one of seven granddaughters in her family to have competed in a Miss America feeder pageant.
- Miss District of Columbia, Briana Kinsey's, secret dream is to be a contestant on "Survivor," lasting more than one day, while the dream of Miss Georgia, Alyssa Beasley, is "to be the last person standing in a horror film."
- Miss Indiana, Haley Begay, hopes to own an alpaca farm somewhere in the south.
- Miss Michigan, Heather Kendrick, appeared last season on "America's Got Talent" with the electro-pop violin group "Nuclassica."
- Miss New Mexico, Taylor Rey, wants to be a voice actor for cartoons, and Miss New York, Gabrielle Walter, wants to argue a high-profile case before the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Miss Rhode island, Nicolette Peloquin, wants to be a New England Patriots cheerleader; Miss South Carolina, Suzi Roberts, actually was an NFL cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons; Miss Virginia, Cecili Weber, wants to play lead guitar for an all-female rock band, and Miss Washington state, Nicole Renard, wants to go to the moon.

Sex and hip-hop have gone together hand-in-hand since the early 90s. From the famous Biggie Smalls and Lil Kim interlude to 2pac with Temptations, and then the holy grail, Khia – My Neck, My Back, rappers have always coupled their lavish lifestyle raps with an endless amount of sex. But has there ever been any real mention of STDs within the genre? Well, we did some research…
This track has the best beat on it out of any of these 5. It’s heartfelt stuff from Nasir Jones, who talks about his first love and sex. He starts to reference STDs at the 1:08 mark, rapping “Was only scared of them STDs, syphilis, VD and herpes, Daffy Duck-lookin’ bitch burnt me, correction, Urinary tract infection, what I got for no protection” Nas-ty.
Now, from one of the best rappers alive and Obie Trice, we essentially have a song aimed at men, and how ‘they’re getting sick’. Obie starts off with an intense story to Denise, from the cleaners, whom he did the deed with unprotected. The chorus chimes in after with Em singing “These b*tches on my dick, That’s how dude’s be getting sick, that’s how dicks be getting drips” Grim Slim Shady, very grim.
Ice Cube made this awesome 90’s hit in the early part of the decade and a close look at the lyrics shows that it’s really about something burning…down there. It’s about a girl Ice Cube was hooking up with, but then she hooked up with a college student and became “Miss Gonorrhea.” If only she had wrapped it up with a condom she could have avoided this pageant title!
Off the classic album Wu-Tang Forever from ’97. The song has a heavily featured Ol’ Dirty Bastard kicking things off with a straight to the point bar about catching Gonnorhea. RZA comes in with probably the best line in the song, “Suicidal, she been in more hotels than bibles”. Heavy stuff from the Clan.
Cam’ron jumps us straight into the action on this one with a phone call to the girl that had ‘burned him’. They have a real slanging match and then the music starts at 1:05. Favourite line: “Where’s the psychological sense in that player? You need to wash ya face!”
So, there you have it, the GiftCondom.com STD Playlist! Listening to these tracks before a night out is is a sure fire way to make sure you keep it wrapped. Why not share this article with someone who’d actually listen to rappers perils and take heed than maybe from yourself? If you find that too awkward, why not send them an anonymous delivery of condoms to give you that extra peace of mind! Send a care package now at GiftCondom.com
**BONUS SONG: Cotton Eyed Joe**
This is certainly not hip-hop but a party favourite all the same, especially at family events like weddings and retirement parties. Basically, anything that has a DJ will have this song played at it. So, you’ll probably be disappointed to know that these lyrics are actually speaking about a guy who is getting his dick swabbed for an STD. Now it makes sense why the singer would have “been married long time ago” if it wasn’t for old cotton eyed Joe.
Monday 14th November marked the start of Antibiotic Resistance Week! Huge numbers of people are inadvertently putting themselves at risk and do not have a CLUE what is happening or understand the full extent of this global issue. So, here we are to clear things up for you (yes, YOU). With the rise of bacteria resistant to treatment, consequences are becoming ever present in societies across the planet.
To understand the true gravity of the situation and why this week exists, here are some FAQs with answers from Public Health England…
Q: So, what in Heaven’s name is Antibiotic Resistance anyway?
It’s when bacteria become resistant to our antibiotics so the medicines no longer kill the bacteria
Q: Yikes… What are the causes?
It happens naturally over time, especially when they’re taken with no need or the wrong antibiotics are administered
Q: Hold on a second, can we not just develop new ones?!
The last time a major new class of antibiotics was introduced was during the 80s!
Q: Fudge. But how many people are actually dying from it so far? Surely it’s not taking it’s toll yet?
It’s estimated 25,000 in Europe alone have suffered
Noticeably for the UK, a recent outbreak of the STI Gonorrhoea (HL-AziR) has raised concerns much further, ESPECIALLY for sexually active 18-25-year-olds who are most at risk. This particular strain of the STD has become resistant to treatment, becoming extremely hard to contain, and dubbed ‘Super-Gonorrhoea’ by the press (to read up further on that particularly sticky situation, click here)
With 1 in 3 people taking antibiotics at least once a year, it is important that more people take notice of what’s going on and start thinking about measures to protect yourselves and your families.
For 18-25s everywhere, with the current state of resistant STDs, the advice is simple: EVERYONE can significantly reduce their risk by using condoms with all new and casual partners. And this, people, is just one of the reasons we are doing what we are at GiftCondom. Protect your loved ones TODAY!
Health officials the world over are starting to warn of the dangers of an STI which is now becoming resistant to treatment. The disease has been cured rather easily with a single dose of antibiotic in the past, but fast forward to 2016 and the bacteria that causes the disease has been evolving to develop resistance to Doctor’s orders.
The World Health Organisation has had this to say: “[the resistance is] raising concerns about the eventual development of untreatable gonococcal infections with serious sexual and reproductive health consequences”. This comes off the heels of a warning issues by experts during 2015
“We are concerned about the emergence of strains that are resistant to the antibiotic treatment options currently available.”
The sexually transmitted disease can result in serious discomfort, pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. Symptoms can go undetected among 1 in 10 infected men and half of infected women. A green or yellow discharge from the genitals, discomfort urinating and irregular bleeding between periods are usual warning signs, so if these are showing for you, please visit your local GP as soon as you can!
What causes further alarm is the recent outbreak of a strain of resistant Gonorrhoea known as HL-AziR within Universities in the North-West of England. Dr Gwenda Hughes, Head of the Sexually Transmitted Infections Section at Public Health England said: “Diagnoses of gonorrhoea in England have risen sharply in recent years and we are concerned about the emergence of strains that are resistant to the antibiotic treatment options currently available.”
Public Health England signed off on their update on the situation with this: “Our advice remains the same; it is far better to avoid getting or passing on gonorrhoea in the first place and everyone can significantly reduce their risk by using condoms with all new and casual partners.”

As some of you may know, I have always been musically inclined. When I was 4, I remember smashing on a tiny drum kit with no idea what the hell I was doing. I have been trying to dabble in music in a production sense since I was 13, and while funds have been short to completely follow said dream, I have done my best with what I’ve had.
When I began gettting ready to go to University, I was faced with a decision that would have ultimately affected my ability to go to school: should I persue music and risk no funding from the Canadian Forces for my degree, or take law and have improved chances.
Sadly, I decided to follow law.
That isnt to say I had no interest in the subject, but I had given up my dream since I was in diapers just so that I wouldn’t have to pay for school. Consequentially, I found myself in a course I hate with my marks and attendance slowly declining, along with my mental health.
Eventually, my sanity declined to a point where I stopped wanting to live. And then had tried acting on said thoughts
Around that time, a certain hot Jew told everyone his anxiety story in an episode of Game Grumps. And I stopped and listened.
I had listened to NSP long before Game Grumps, but I had never seen them as more than a couple jewish guys singing about sex. When Jon left Grumps, I was certainly put off, but I remained cautiously optimistic of Dan. He was a very capable Not So Grump, or else Arin wouldn’t have asked him on.
It turned out Dan was more than just some singer. He had stories, wisdom, insight that I didn’t even realize was possible to put on a show that used to just be guys yelling at video games. His stories quickly became my absolute favorite part of the show, because in many of his stories, I could relate as a teenage idiot who had no immediate goals outside of playing elder scrolls (even if i never got whiplash beejing myself)
In many ways, Dan Avidan saved my life.
In even more ways, he became my artistic inspiration. I had started going to more and more school-hosted open houses, singing anything from stupid covers of stupid songs to serious pieces, and it has been the most exhilarating experience of my life. I remembered how it felt to just play, not impress anybody but do what I love. Suddenly, for a brief moment, life stopped being such a miserable thing.
Not too long ago, Dan quit his day job, finally able to sustain himself with NSP and Grumps. This was the tipping point for me. Dan has finally reached his goal, built his mansion, and it’s time for me to lay my bricks.
All because of this little shit in tights.
So thank you and happy birthday to Leigh Daniel “Sexbang” Avidan for inspiring me to pursue music again, and I can only dream to be nearly as successful as you have become at attaining my dream.

Schilderijen die ruim tien jaar geleden zijn gestolen uit het Westfries Museum in Hoorn, blijken zich in Oekraïne te bevinden. De werken van Hollandse meesters zouden in handen zijn gevallen van een ultranationalistische strijdgroep, bevestigt een gemeentewoordvoerder na berichtgeving van De Telegraaf maandagochtend.
Alle pogingen om de werken terug te krijgen, zijn tot nu toe op niets uitgelopen, zegt de woordvoerder. Daarom zoekt het museum nu de publiciteit. De militie claimt alle 24 geroofde werken in bezit te hebben en zou deze aan anderen aanbieden. Daardoor dreigt de collectie uiteen te vallen.
Speelbal in schandaal
Uit nader onderzoek zou bovendien zijn gebleken dat het Oekraïense vrijwilligersbataljon contact onderhoudt met invloedrijke Oekraïners. Zo zou de roofkunst een “speelbal” zijn geworden in een politiek machtsspel.
De waarde van de buit bedroeg destijds ongeveer tien miljoen euro, maar wordt nu veel lager geschat. Het museum is geschrokken van de slechte staat waarin de schilderijen zijn teruggevonden, zei Ad Geerdink maandagochtend tijdens een persconferentie. Door de schade zijn ze nu maximaal een half miljoen euro waard. De militie wilde in eerste instantie echter vijftig miljoen euro hebben. Het museum schakelde Arthur Brand, gespecialiseerd in onderzoek naar kunstcriminaliteit, in om met de huidige bezitters in gesprek te gaan.
Volg de persconferentie via de tweets van chef van de kunstredactie Paul Steenhuis:
Onder de geroofde schilderijen zijn werken van Jan van Goyen (Landschap met boerenkar, 1632), Jacob Waben, Matthias Withoos, Jan Rietschoof, Jan Linsen en Herman Hengstenburgh. Verder werden zeventig stukken gebruikszilver en kerkzilver meegenomen. De gestolen schilderijen maakten deel uit van een tentoonstelling die speciaal was geënt op Hoorn en omstreken en worden door het museum gezien als het hart van de zeventiende- en achttiende-eeuwse collectie.

Four amigos regroup with much delay and difficulty upon hearing devastating October 09 news about the closing of their beloved GOURMET MAGAZINE. Please join us now in our revised culinary hobby of dreams. Stick with us through THICK and THIN as we fumble and create and morph and bake and even disappear for a moment or so. Remembering that in some form or another we will be back, egged on by our fearless leader SAUCY SMITH. Our mission (& we have chosen to accept it): COOKING OUR HEARTS OUT.
Monday
How IT ALL Began....
Inspirations are a gift. They come my way like Christmas presents. Regularly from various sources..... books, magazines, television programs, movies , something a friend says.... you name it . And not only am I inspired , I act on these motivations.... often , or as much as I can, or when appropriate....
Well, its happened again. And during a time when I least expected it. But then I never REALLY expect it.....
So I am reading Vanity Fair; the recent one with Heath Ledger's picture on the cover. I come across the article about Julia Child. Fascinating. Of course, I do LOVE to cook.....
Then a day or so later I am reading a book of short stories" Secret Ingredients" written by a bunch of food writers from the New Yorker . There it is again. This time a piece written by the kitchen wizard herself, Julia Child. ( I'm using the word "wizard".... the "feminine" version of this noun is totally inappropriate!) I'm loving her writing and the article. But that's that.... nothing more yet.
Next I'm grabbing a bottle of water at the Toronto airport en route to Paris. Books surrounding me in the store. My eyes settle on one. Julie and Julia. Meryl Streep on the cover. Hmmmm. What's that? I buy it on impulse.
I didn't stop till I finished the book. I loved it. The whole idea of it. The cooking. The blog. The fun of it. The hassles. The tears and the laughs. And I wanted to do it myself. Because I was( am) fully caught up in the energy of Julie Powell's experience. Because of how much I enjoy cooking. Creating. Feeding my friends. My loved ones. Because I crave the challenge of it all. Because I like to write. Because. Because. Because.
HOWEVER.... I can not cook the same things and in the same way as Julie did in her project. No way. That won't do. I had to come up with my own thing....It took the rest of my time in Paris to figure it out. That and a conversation with good old Ace when I arrived home. ( More on Ace later, but note for now.... as of the date of this blog entry, he is debating the use of the name "Ace" . So that might change....I will let you know .)
O.K. Here is my plan.... its become "our" plan,actually:
We, the lobstersandwich gang. The four of us. Have a secret vice. Not everyone knows about it. It is not obvious during the daytime . But mostly at night. That's when IT comes out. That "side" of us that we explore when we return separately to our homes. It is.... ok... it is an addiction.... all right, I said it.
All 4 of us. Each and everyone. Are addicted ...to cooking. We love to cook. Simple as that.
So together we have made this plan. This vow. Since we do it anyway. Every night. Like clock work. We cook. Now we will cook with a new purpose. We will challenge ourselves with this project. And we announce it now , BEFORE AUGUST 6 when the movie Julie and Julia hits the theaters.....
Starting OCTOBER 1, 2009 and for a full 12 months going forward ( yeah, 12 months, sez Bret..... love that Flight of the Conchords tv show.... Hey reader,if you are into that show say it with Bret's accent each time you read a reference here in this blog, ok? "yeah")
WE WILL COOK each month EVERY RECIPE in the index of GOURMET magazine. For 12 whole months starting in October we will do this. And that's a lot of recipes !
Specifically. Once Oct 1 arrives we start cooking the entire October issue. We will cook in our separate homes. Sometimes we will cook or eat together, but not always. We will sometimes cook and invite friends. We will have parties or feed our families or eat alone. Anything goes.
We will NOT EACH cook every recipe. But among us EVERY recipe for the month ( in the month) will be cooked. Sometimes more than once. And we don't have a precise plan of execution. Except the rule of "the entire month in the month". We will.... see how it all unfolds!! For twelve full months in a row!!!
Plus. Each month the magazine reviews a cookbook. Well we will purchase that cookbook and make one meal per month out of that book. And that dinner we will cook and eat together at my place.
We will write about the whole experience here,on this blog "lobstersandwich"
We have a plan to deal with the calorie overload( and potential consequences). We are hiring a trainer. ( trainer's name to follow) To meet with us once a week. To advise,consult and coach us. We'd like to at least "look the same as we do now" one year into this adventure. It CAN be done.....
One just offered their private dining room( equipped with a kitchen) anytime they are closed and we want to host some of our cooking by way of a larger dinner party. That wonderful FFRO said" Think of it as your "downstairs living room, Saucy"...( that's me," Saucy"). I said "okey doaky and thank you very much because we will be taking you up on that one.... Are you in,readers? Get your name on the list..... "Yeah,get ur name on the list" said Bret)
By the way dear reader. I am writing this intro to my blog while I am flying to Toronto on a day when the sky is crystal clear but the turbulence is gut wrenchingly horrid. ( And me, a very nervous flyer) So here is a statement on my enthusiasm for our project :
I am so excited. So psyched to get the blog up and running and the project launched. I am writing away ,plane jerking left ,right, up, down. A lot. And my boyfriend/partner "Bacon Boy" only has 4 arm bruises from my death grip instead of the usual 10. ( After a choppy plane ride with the panicked me, ( "Oh (sob) honey,"I squeak ,"we are going to DIE.....") He ( my B.B.) regularly needs a visit to his chrio, Dr. Jake, for at least a minor adjustment.....)
I want to introduce to you the cast of characters in this adventure. But a few things first.
Why GOURMET MAGAZINE? Well.... the recipes are usually great, reliable, user friendly, scrumptious, lip smacking.... I have subscribed to the publication for over 10 years ( actually, the time is much longer, but I'm not telling). I greatly admire Ruth Reichl , the editor. I am a big fan, I guess..... I know.....and she totally inspires me. I have never met her but her amazing energy comes through in every line she writes. ( Plus Bacon Boys sez "She's hot")
And isn't it just the greatest to be able to say" We cooked absolutely everything in the magazine for a full year" What a feat. Everyone knows and loves that magazine.( Thank you Ruth, and all the contributors)
We are saying to ourselves. Look. We work all day and then cook dinner almost every night anyways. So no big deal. We are doing what we do regularly,but with a new focus. ( We are such an optimistic bunch)
The cast of characters( names not all finalized at the time of this writing so subject to change WITH NOTICE):
Your primary author and cook,me, "Saucy"
My 3 trusty sidekicks in cooking"Babette", "Ace" and "Gary".
Not to mention our partners,wives or husbands whom will occasionally contribute and always support. Mine,of course, is "Bacon Boy". ( B. B. is a sweetie and a looker) .Babette is married to "the hunk" Martin. Ace lives with and is now embarking on a "long distance" romance with the lovely and talented" Katie". And Gary. Gary met and married the ravishing and accomplished "Annie". Also within the group there are friends, children,relatives,pets and more on all that l8r.
So, to our readers. Greetings from us all. Please log in and read and comment as we gear up for our October 1st launch. ( And here's a little request , even if you know our real identities ..... Let's NOT mention them in the blog or in your comments. A little mystery never hurts !!!) A warm welcome to and a large cheer for LOBSTERSANDWICH *.
*Oh. We will have many views,ideas and recipes for the ultimate lobster dishes. Aside from our GOURMET magazine cooking. Just as a little extra. ( because obviously, we need a few extras!)
For instance,a week ago I made THE PERFECT lobster roll. It coulda been a sandwich. I brushed the outside of a top split hot dog bun with some homemade garlic butter( ok to use store bought in a pinch). I broiled the bun. I bought perfectly cooked lobsters from the market . I chopped up "large" chunks of tail ,claw and knuckle meat. I sucked out the legs as I worked.( B.B. has a snapshot of me suckin on a leg like a bubble gum cigarette. ....no, you cannot see it.... its only for Bacon Boy... ) I mixed up the meat with some Hellmans (full fat,please), some fresh squeezed lemon juice, chopped fresh chives and a tiny bit of finely chopped celery and s&p. ( almost forgot to mention the celery) And Presto. Stuff the mixture in that warm bun. Yum. OMG.... Its some good,you.... Try it.
Glad to hear you recouped your lobster loss from Aug.1. Looking forward to following the blog and hope to help you dispose of the fruits of your labour in the future. If I offer too much help,however, I too will be developing a new close relationship-with a personal trainer! Hugs to Sausy and cheers to all! Good on you! MM

Red supergiant star
Red supergiants are stars with a supergiant luminosity class (Yerkes class I) of spectral type K or M. They are the largest stars in the universe in terms of volume, although they are not the most massive or luminous. Betelgeuse and Antares are the brightest and best known red supergiants (RSGs), indeed the only first magnitude red supergiant stars.
Classification
Stars are classified as supergiants on the basis of their spectral luminosity class. This system uses certain diagnostic spectral lines to estimate the surface gravity of a star, hence determining its size relative to its mass. Larger stars are more luminous at a given temperature and can now be grouped into bands of differing luminosity.
The luminosity differences between stars is most apparent at low temperatures, where giant stars are much brighter than main-sequence stars. Supergiant have the lowest surface gravities and hence are the largest and brightest at a particular temperature.
The Yerkes or Morgan-Keenan (MK) classification system is almost universal. It groups stars into five main luminosity groups designated by roman numerals:
I supergiant;
II bright giant;
III giant;
IV subgiant;
V dwarf (main sequence).
Specific to supergiants, the luminosity class is further divided into normal supergiants of class Ib and bright supergiants of class Ia. The intermediate class Iab is also used. Exceptionally bright, low surface gravity, stars with strong indications of mass loss may be designated by luminosity class 0 (zero) although this is rarely seen. More often the designation Ia-0 will be used, and more commonly still Ia+. These hypergiant spectral classifications are very rarely applied to red supergiants, although the term hypergiant is sometimes used for the most extended and unstable red supergiants.
The "red" part of "red supergiant" refers to the cool temperature. Red supergiants are the coolest supergiants, M-type and at least some K-type stars although there is no precise cutoff. K-type supergiants are uncommon compared to M-type, because they are a short-lived transition stage and somewhat unstable. The K-type stars, especially early or hotter K types, are sometimes described as orange supergiants (e.g. Zeta Cephei), or even as yellow (e.g. yellow hypergiant HR 5171A).
Properties
Red supergiants are cool and large. They have spectral types of K and M, hence surface temperatures below 4,100 K. They are typically several hundred to over a thousand times the radius of the Sun, although size is not the primary factor in a star being designated as a supergiant. A bright cool giant star can easily be larger than a hotter supergiant. For example, Alpha Herculis is classified as a giant star with a radius of while Epsilon Pegasi is a K2 supergiant of only .
Although red supergiants are much cooler than the Sun, they are so much larger that they are highly luminous, typically . There is an upper limit to the luminosity of a red supergiant at around . Stars above this luminosity would be too unstable and simply do not form.
Red supergiants have masses between about and . Main-sequence stars more massive than about do not expand and cool to become red supergiants. Red supergiants at the upper end of the possible mass and luminosity range are the largest known. Their low surface gravities and high luminosities cause extreme mass loss, millions of times higher than the Sun, producing observable nebulae surrounding the star. By the end of their lives red supergiants may have lost a substantial fraction of their initial mass. The more massive supergiants lose mass much more rapidly and all red supergiants appear to reach a similar mass of the order of by the time their cores collapse. The exact value depends on the initial chemical makeup of the star and its rotation rate.
Most red supergiants show some degree of visual variability, but only rarely with a well-defined period or amplitude. Therefore, they are usually classified as irregular or semiregular variables. They even have their own sub-classes, SRC and LC for slow semi-regular and slow irregular supergiant variables respectively. Variations are typically slow and of small amplitude, but amplitudes up to four magnitudes are known.
Statistical analysis of many known variable red supergiants shows a number of likely causes for variation: just a few stars show large amplitudes and strong noise indicating variability at many frequencies, thought to indicate powerful stellar winds that occur towards the end of the life of a red supergiant; more common are simultaneous radial mode variations over a few hundred days and probably non-radial mode variations over a few thousand days; only a few stars appear to be truly irregular, with small amplitudes, likely due to photospheric granulation. Red supergiant photospheres contain a relatively small number of very large convection cells compared to stars like the Sun. This causes variations in surface brightness that can lead to visible brightness variations as the star rotates.
The spectra of red supergiants are similar to other cool stars, dominated by a forest of absorption lines of metals and molecular bands. Some of these features are used to determine the luminosity class, for example certain near-infrared cyanogen band strengths and the Ca II triplet.
Maser emission is common from the circumstellar material around red supergiants. Most commonly this arises from H2O and SiO, but hydroxyl (OH) emission also occurs from narrow regions. In addition to high resolution mapping of the circumstellar material around red supergiants, VLBI or VLBA observations of masers can be used to derive accurate parallaxes and distances to their sources. Currently this has been applied mainly to individual objects, but it may become useful for analysis of galactic structure and discovery of otherwise obscured red supergiant stars.
Surface abundances of red supergiants are dominated by hydrogen even though hydrogen at the core has been completely consumed. In the latest stages of mass loss before a star explodes, surface helium may become enriched to levels comparable with hydrogen. In theoretical extreme mass loss models, sufficient hydrogen may be lost that helium becomes the most abundant element at the surface. When pre-red supergiant stars leave the main sequence, oxygen is more abundant than carbon at the surface, and nitrogen is less abundant than either, reflecting abundances from the formation of the star. Carbon and oxygen are quickly depleted and nitrogen enhanced as a result of the dredge-up of CNO-processed material from the fusion layers.
Red supergiants are observed to rotate slowly or very slowly. Models indicate that even rapidly rotating main-sequence stars should be braked by their mass loss so that red supergiants hardly rotate at all. Those red supergiants such as Betelgeuse that do have modest rates of rotation may have acquired it after reaching the red supergiant stage, perhaps through binary interaction. The cores of red supergiants are still rotating and the differential rotation rate can be very large.
Definition
Supergiant luminosity classes are easy to determine and apply to large numbers of stars, but they group a number of very different types of star into a single category. An evolutionary definition restricts the term supergiant to those massive stars which start core helium fusion without developing a degenerate helium core and without undergoing a helium flash. They will universally go on to burn heavier elements and undergo core collapse resulting in a supernova.
Less massive stars may develop a supergiant spectral luminosity class at relatively low luminosity, around , when they are on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) undergoing helium shell burning. Researchers now prefer to categorise these as AGB stars distinct from supergiants because they are less massive, have different chemical compositions at the surface, undergo different types of pulsation and variability, and will evolve in a different way, usually producing a planetary nebula and white dwarf. Most AGB stars will not become supernovae although there is interest in a class of super-AGB stars, those almost massive enough to undergo full carbon fusion, which may produce peculiar supernovae although without ever developing an iron core. One notable group of low mass high luminosity stars are the RV Tauri variables, AGB or post-AGB stars lying on the instability strip and showing distinctive semi-regular variations.
Evolution
Red supergiants develop from main-sequence stars with masses between about and . Higher-mass stars never cool sufficiently to become red supergiants. Lower-mass stars develop a degenerate helium core during a red giant phase, undergo a helium flash before fusing helium on the horizontal branch, evolve along the AGB while burning helium in a shell around a degenerate carbon-oxygen core, then rapidly lose their outer layers to become a white dwarf with a planetary nebula. AGB stars may develop spectra with a supergiant luminosity class as they expand to extreme dimensions relative to their small mass, and they may reach luminosities tens of thousands times the sun's. Intermediate "super-AGB" stars, around , can undergo carbon fusion and may produce an electron capture supernova through the collapse of an oxygen-neon core.
Main-sequence stars, burning hydrogen in their cores, with masses between will have temperatures between about 25,000K and 32,000K and spectral types of early B, possibly very late O. They are already very luminous stars of due to rapid CNO cycle fusion of hydrogen and they have fully convective cores. In contrast to the Sun, the outer layers of these hot main-sequence stars are not convective.
These pre-red supergiant main-sequence stars exhaust the hydrogen in their cores after 5-20 million years. They then start to burn a shell of hydrogen around the now-predominantly helium core, and this causes them to expand and cool into supergiants. Their luminosity increases by a factor of about three. The surface abundance of helium is now up to 40% but there is little enrichment of heavier elements.
The supergiants continue to cool and most will rapidly pass through the Cepheid instability strip, although the most massive will spend a brief period as yellow hypergiants. They will reach late K or M class and become a red supergiant. Helium fusion in the core begins smoothly either while the star is expanding or once it is already a red supergiant, but this produces little immediate change at the surface. Red supergiants develop deep convection zones reaching from the surface over halfway to the core and these cause strong enrichment of nitrogen at the surface, with some enrichment of heavier elements.
Some red supergiants undergo blue loops where they temporarily increase in temperature before returning to the red supergiant state. This depends on the mass, rate of rotation, and chemical makeup of the star. While many red supergiants will not experience a blue loop, some can have several. Temperatures can reach 10,000K at the peak of the blue loop. The exact reasons for blue loops vary in different stars, but they are always related to the helium core increasing as a proportion of the mass of the star and forcing higher mass loss rates from the outer layers.
All red supergiants will exhaust the helium in their cores within one or two million years and then start to burn carbon. This continues with fusion of heavier elements until an iron core builds up, which then inevitably collapses to produce a supernova. The time from the onset of carbon fusion until core collapse is no more than a few thousand years. In most cases, core collapse occurs while the star is still a red supergiant, the large remaining hydrogen-rich atmosphere is ejected, and this produces a type II supernova spectrum. The opacity of this ejected hydrogen decreases as it cools and this causes an extended delay to the drop in brightness after the initial supernova peak, the characteristic of a type II-P supernova.
The most luminous red supergiants, at near solar metallicity, are expected to lose most of their outer layers before their cores collapse, hence they evolve back to yellow hypergiants and luminous blue variables. Such stars can explode as type II-L supernovae, still with hydrogen in their spectra but not with sufficient hydrogen to cause an extended brightness plateau in their light curves. Stars with even less hydrogen remaining may produce the uncommon type IIb supernova, where there is so little hydrogen remaining that the hydrogen lines in the initial type II spectrum fade to the appearance of a type Ib supernova.
The observed progenitors of type II-P supernovae all have temperatures between 3,500K and 4,400K and luminosities between and . This matches the expected parameters of lower mass red supergiants. A small number of progenitors of type II-L and type IIb supernovae have been observed, all having luminosities around and somewhat higher temperatures up to 6,000K. These are a good match for slightly higher mass red supergiants with high mass loss rates. There are no known supernova progenitors corresponding to the most luminous red supergiants, and it is expected that these evolve to Wolf Rayet stars before exploding.
Clusters
Red supergiants are necessarily no more than about 25 million years old and such massive stars are expected to form only in relatively large clusters of stars, so they are expected to be found mostly near prominent clusters. However they are fairly short-lived compared to other phases in the life of a star and only form from relatively uncommon massive stars, so there will generally only be small numbers of red supergiants in each cluster at any one time. For example, in the substantial Double Clusters in Perseus there is just a single red supergiant, S Persei, while the massive Hodge 301 cluster in the Tarantula Nebula contains three. Until the 21st century the largest number of red supergiants known in a single cluster was five in NGC 7419. Most red supergiants are found singly, for example Betelgeuse in the Orion OB1 Association and Antares in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association.
Since 2006, a series of massive clusters have been identified near the base of the Crux-Scutum Arm of the galaxy, each containing multiple red supergiants. RSGC1 contains at least 12 red supergiants, RSGC2 (also known as Stephenson 2) contains at least 26, RSGC3 contains at least 8, and RSGC4 (also known as Alicante 8) contains at least 8. A total of 80 confirmed red supergiants have been identified within a small area of the sky in the direction of these clusters. These four clusters appear to be part of a massive burst of star formation 10-20 million years ago at the near end of the bar at the centre of the galaxy. Similar massive clusters have been found near the far end of the galactic bar, but not such large numbers of red supergiants.
Examples
Red supergiants are rare stars, but they are visible at great distance and are often variable so there are a number of well-known naked-eye examples:
Psi1 Aurigae
119 Tauri
Antares
Betelgeuse
Other examples have become known on account of their enormous size, more than :
KW Sagittarii
PZ Cassiopeiae
VX Sagittarii
KY Cygni
V354 Cephei

Cleveland—What would the Republican Party do without Donald Trump? Although he sucks up all the air in the room, the angriest white man on the planet also turned what would otherwise have been the deadliest two hours on television into an electrifying illustration of the effect of celebrity in politics. From the very first question, when moderator Brett Baier, in a butter-wouldn’t-melt tone, asked any candidate who refused to pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee to hold up his hand, and Trump, to resounding boos, raised his aloft, it was clear that Trump was off the leash and intended to remain that way. Ad Policy
A few minutes later, when Megyn Kelly challenged him “You call women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” Trump’s retort—“Only Rosie O’Donnell”—seemed to get most of the audience on his side. But his swipe at Kelly—“I’ve been very nice to you, even though I don’t have to be given the way you treat me, but I wouldn’t do that.”—again showed a thuggish side. It was only when, in response to Jeb Bush’s timid declaration that the GOP frontrunner’s language on immigration was “divisive,” Trump roared back, “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration,” that the invited audience declared itself firmly behind the Manhattan mogul.

Meanwhile, the rest of the field struggled to make themselves heard—and mostly failed. John Kasich’s plausible imitation of a human being—not only would the Ohio governor not disown his 15 year-old twin daughters if either of them came out as gay, he recently attended a friend’s same-sex wedding—led some commentators to name him the night’s big winner. Really, though, it merely revealed the shame and cowardice of the other men on the platform.
These were men who vied to outdo one another in their denunciations of Planned Parenthood—hardly surprising from men united in their belief (or in Trump’s case, lip service to the belief) that eggs become fully human the moment they are fertilized—and in their readiness to abandon diplomacy with Iran. Men who, with the sole exception of Kasich, would happily deprive the poor of healthcare on their first day in office. And who, without exception, viewed a vicious nativism as the path to power. For anyone outside the Beltway bubble, the proceedings were profoundly depressing.
There were a few welcome distractions: the fireworks between Chris Christie and Rand Paul over the Kentucky senator’s opposition to warrantless wiretapping, Mike Huckabee’s declaration that “most of the income in this country is made by people at the top, who get income and capital gains” (has he been taking advantage of media indifference by slipping into Bernie Sanders rallies on the sly?), Marco Rubio’s admission that “If this election is going to be a resume competition, then Hillary Clinton will be the next president.” THE NATION IS READER FUNDED. YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL TO OUR WORK. DONATE NOW
But for anyone outside the Beltway bubble the proceedings were profoundly depressing. One of the reasons elections matter is because they hold up a mirror to the kind of country we are—and the kind of country we want to be. On tonight’s evidence America (or at least that portion of America represented by the Ohio GOP’s invited audience) is a country that applauds a bully, fears all foreigners, knows that the system is rigged to favor the rich—and will fight to the death to keep it that way. In a sane world Donald Trump would have a bell hung around his neck and be greeted by cries of “Unclean! Unclean!” Instead, and unless Trump self-destructs, the rich seam of anger opened by his campaign might well bring him back here next year as the GOP nominee. Because on the basis of their performance tonight no one on that stage is capable of stopping him.

Streptosporangium jomthongense sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from rhizospheric soil and emendation of the genus Streptosporangium.
A novel actinomycete, strain 30EHS(T), was isolated from the rhizospheric soil under an elephant ear plant (Caladium bicolor) in Jomthong district, Bangkok, Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 30EHS(T) fell within the cluster of the genus Streptosporangium. Chemical composition analysis confirmed that the strain represented a member of the genus Streptosporangium even though this strain produced a tightly packed single spore on aerial hyphae. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain 30EHS(T) was most closely related to Streptosporangium fragile NBRC 14311(T) (98.1%), Streptosporangium carneum NBRC 15562(T) (97.8%) and Streptosporangium violaceochromogenes NBRC 15560(T) (97.4%). The DNA-DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain 30EHS(T) and the above three strains were below 70%. Based on combined data for phylogenetic analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization relatedness and physiological characteristics, it was concluded that strain 30EHS(T) should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Streptosporangium. We propose the name Streptosporangium jomthongense sp. nov., with the type strain 30EHS(T) ( = BCC 53154(T) = NBRC 110047(T)). An emended description of the genus Streptosporangium is also proposed.

Serum AFBP levels are elevated in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Adipocyte fatty acid-binding-protein (A-FABP), retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), and lipocalin-2 have been identified as adipokines that may link obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is regarded as a manifestation of metabolic syndrome. We evaluated the relationship of A-FABP, RBP4, and lipocalin-2 to variables related to metabolic syndrome and NAFLD. A total of 140 subjects (72 males and 68 females) were included in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups (NAFLD, n = 73 and normal, n = 67) based on the detection of a fatty liver by ultrasonography. Serum A-FABP levels were higher in the NAFLD group than in the normal group (18.42 ± 7.24 ng/mL vs. 15.74 ± 7.02 ng/mL, p = 0.022). After adjusting for age and sex, we observed that body mass index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, body fat percentage, triglycerides, and serum RBP4 levels were positively associated with serum A-FABP levels in all subjects. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and serum RBP4 levels were independently associated with serum A-FABP levels. In logistic regression analysis, patients in the higher quartiles of A-FABP levels had higher odds ratios (OR) for the presence of NALFD than patients in the lower quartiles (OR: 3.56; 95% confident interval or CI: 1.25, 10.14). We observed higher serum A-FABP levels in the NAFLD group than in the normal group. However, serum RBP4 and lipocalin-2 levels appeared to have different relationships with several variables related to metabolic syndrome and NAFLD, which contradict results of previous studies.

Grass Preserver #16724, Your Epidermis Is Showing
Friday was by far the busiest day. 1) There was school. 2) There was work. 3) There was the theatre—I am happy to report that She's The Man is stupid and hilarious. 4) There was some guy attacking me at the Strat—"For five years, I thought you were the coolest guy and now I want to kill you"—honestly, I have no idea who he was. 5) There was International Airport at three in morning. 6) But, best of all, before any of this began, there was the driver's license! Two years now, I have been without a license to kill. Damn. That is, drive. For two years, I have been making my brothers drive sometimes more than an hour out of their way merely to ferry me home from work or a late night. For two years, my girlfriend has had to drag me back and forth between her place and mine. Two years now, bumming rides off friends and strangers, or staying overnight in an unknown house because I couldn't get a ride, or paying taxicabs incredible amounts of shinola, or refusing invitation after invitation because, "Well, you'd have to drive me back home, see?" is officially over!
"Colored People" + dc Talk Morrissey would KILL this song, it is so his business. But between calling Canada one of the worst human-rights abusers in history and labelling W another Hitler, he's scarcely got time to look on the positive side of being white and Western—getting to sing songs about racial harmony! Okay, things I learned listening to this song: 1) We live in a painted world. 2) My epidermis was showing. 3) Ignorance is wrong. Okay, so I'm mocking this song, but don't pay attention, that's just a cultural reflex to straight ahead Christian pop. You can say a lot of things about Christianity. You can say it's the foundation of Western culture. Sure, you can say it provides hope for all mankind. But one thing you can't say is that it's cool. People aren't gonna call you The Fonz for giving the thumbs up to Jesus. People aren't going to talk about your chiselled abs and handsome profile if you go around spouting dc Talk, right? Well, none of that matters, because "Colored People" is a great tune. The singer's voice straining on "We are a skin kal-AYE-descope" makes this song, absolutely breaks it. Wonderful.
Yes, and I realize that fully one third of Decent Christian Talk is not caucasian. But they're like Journey, don't you think?—the black guy only makes them whiter.

Dangerous Girl, Defined
It's not so hard to explain how Melbourne is Safety Town. Even to lifelong residents, I need only to point out common occurrences, like this 3-way no-standing-anywhere pole, to validate my point.
But by now a few people have asked me why exactly that makes me Dangerous Girl.The answer to this is two-fold.
Example no. 1: Somehow I engage in dangerous behavior without any purposeful effort.earlier this evening:The cabinets in my kitchen are quite high (which I find funny considering everyone in my building is a short Asian aside from me and husband). Tonight, I came home parched from riding my bike.
I reached up on to my tip-toes to get a water glass out of the cupboard. The glass slipped out of the cupboard, hit me in the head, then plummeted to its death, shattering on the tile floor. My left eye has been going blurry lately, (which I attribute to staring into the 100-watt light bulb I call my computer screen all day ) so I was already squinting, and then, rubbing my head, I knelt down to start picking up the shards, at which point I skewered my knee with a rogue, upright toothpick of glass.
Shit like this happens all the time.
Example no. 2: Sometimes I engage in dangerous behavior quite purposefully, because I think it is fucking hilarious. Friday night, I was out with husband a few friends. We proceeded to get quite shit-faced early in the evening, laughingly traipsing from one establishment to the next. In transit from bar #5 to bar #6, we happened to walk by The Melbourne Club, a ye olde white boys' club that used to hate Jews and still hates women. The door was open a crack.
I walked confidently, albeit drunkenly, up the steps and through the front door, heading straight for the beautiful winding staircase, noticing out of the corner of my eye the fat old security guard waking from his nap just in time to see the Intruder/Female Infidel. The boys tried to follow me but got way-laid by Lieutenant Dumpy Butt, allowing me to slip under the radar and successfully into the second level. As I didn't expect to get as far as I'd already gotten, I started trying to encroach upon the House of Patriarchy/Freemasons/KKK as much as possible, testing every door handle, and sneaking quickly from room to room, as the boys watched my progress through the windows down below.
Eventually it occurred to me that I was trespassing and being an asshole—possibly risking the crisp and clean status of my brand-new Aussie Permanent Resident visa—so I stepped nonchalantly out of the shadows so that Old Man Diapers could finally figure out where I was. I walked past him, quickly, casually admiring the artwork but staying out of his reach, spouting off a story about how my art history teacher had mentioned what an impressive catalog the Club had, "so I thought I'd come check it out, y'know?"
And, finally nearing the door, I high-tailed it out of there and we continued on our way to the next bar. But not before husband slipped, and accidentally did this to my foot:
3 comments:
I heart ecs. Here's more proof of your dangerousness: 'member when we were back in dinosaur times in the Pine Barrens of NJ? You ran fearlessly into the darkness by yourself, while I lagged behind, thinking "What do I do if a dinosaur comes?" You didn't have that fear, which some might call a "drug-induced hallucination."

Dose-dependent inhibition of CYP1A2, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 by citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and paroxetine.
The purpose of this pharmacokinetic study was to investigate the dose-dependent inhibition of model substrates for CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and CYP1A2 by four marketed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and paroxetine. The study was carried out as an in vivo single-dose study including 24 young, healthy men. All volunteers had been identified as sparteine- and mephenytoin-extensive metabolisers. The volunteers received in randomised order, at weekly intervals, increasing single oral doses of one of the four SSRIs, followed 3 h later by sparteine (CYP2D6), mephenytoin (CYP2C19) and caffeine (CYP1A2) tests. Fluoxetine was given at 3-week intervals because of the long half-life of fluoxetine and its metabolite norfluoxetine. Citalopram, fluoxetine and paroxetine were given in doses of 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg and fluvoxamine was given in doses of 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg. With increasing doses, there was a statistically significant increase in the sparteine metabolic ratio (MR) (P < 0.01, Page's test for trend) for all four SSRIs. The increase was modest after intake of citalopram and fluvoxamine, while the increase was more pronounced after fluoxetine intake, although no volunteers changed phenotype from extensive metabolisers to poor metabolisers. Three of the six volunteers changed phenotype from extensive metabolisers to poor metabolisers after intake of 40 or 80 mg paroxetine. There was a statistically significant increase in the mephenytoin S/R ratio (P < 0.01, Page's test for trend) with increasing doses of fluoxetine and fluvoxamine, but not after citalopram and paroxetine. However, no volunteers changed phenotype from extensive to poor metabolisers of S-mephenytoin. After intake of fluvoxamine, the urinary excretion of the metabolites related to N3 demethylation of caffeine were below the limit of quantification, whereas there were no significant changes in the urinary caffeine metabolic ratios after intake of the other three SSRIs. This investigation confirms that paroxetine and fluoxetine are potent inhibitors of CYP2D6, that fluvoxamine and fluoxetine are moderate inhibitors of CYP2C19 and that fluvoxamine is a potent inhibitor of CYP1A2 in humans in vivo. The clinical prediction of interaction from single-dose experiments may have to take the degree of accumulation during steady-state after multiple doses into account.

Create two brushes approximately the size of the whole visible in the top view and convert them to cylinders "menu: curve » cylinder".
Once you've done this, use all three views to position, and re-size if necessary, the cylinders over the whole top and bottom, shown above, make use of the top view to look down as you make the adjustments so you can check the alignment better.
Design note: to cut down on the in game poly count you could model features like this from a single cylinder, stretching it up through the whole in the middle section - this is especially true if you have a number of these features in one room or place.
Creating the 'fillets' is similar to creating our convex middle of previous, in addition we also need to flatten the cylinders quite a bit and line them up accurately to get a 'solid' joint - this eliminates the horrible in game sparklies that can happen on bad joints.
You can see from the side elevation in pic16 the selected vertex (blue) has been moved to join up with the bottom of the 'step' we previously created, you need to do this for all the vertexes on the top of the mesh.
As before select each of the vertexes in turn and move them into place, make use of the other views to check your progress as you do this. You should end up with all the top vertexes on the mesh joining the bottom of the 'step' we created earlier.
We're now going to flatten the mesh using the selected vertexes shown the image above. LMB+hold+drag select the bottom and middle vertexes as shown in the image above, they are now active (blue), moving them upwards until they are 'one' grid unit below the top vertexes of the mesh.
Multiple vertexes selected ready for manipulation
Design note: because we did a 'global' selection, all the vertexes will move in the desired direction so you won't need to manipulate them using the other views as we have been doing before.
At this point we can also move the centre vertexes inwards slightly to give us more of a curve (see image below).
Moving the bottom set of vertexes
We're getting closer to our final shape. Now we have to move the bottom vertexes up to give us a very flat curve, this is the kind of shape we want.
The final shape
Design note: if you make your grid size smaller you'll be able to get an even flatter curve.
Once you've manipulated the vertexes you should have something similar to pic19 above. You can now see the positions of the vertexes in relation to each other and how this gives us a very flat curve.
We now need to create another 'step' that will form the final part of the pillar support. Create a brush approximate to the size of the base and convert it to a cylinder - menu: curve > cylinder. Move it into position under the flattened mesh we just made - shown in the image above - resize it if necessary.
Creating the base
While this cylinder is still selected, hold down the shift key and select the flat mesh above it we created a moment ago, copy it "Ctrl+C" deselect the meshes after you've done this - Esc, and paste the copy "Ctrl+V". The copy then needs to be rotated 180º - click the x-axis rotate button twice - then position the newly rotated selection on top of the previously created meshes (see pic21 below).
This last step creates 'fillets' between the rest of the column above and the base below.
We need to create a default cylinder from a brush roughly the size we want, once this is done enter vertex edit mode, "V", and manipulate the vertexes in a similar way to before; manipulate the top set so they join the bottom of the 'step' above and the bottom and middle set of vertexes until you get a shape similar to pic22 above. Exit vertex edit mode, "V", and then copy and paste the mesh, rotate this, as before using the x - axis rotate button, and place this new one at the top of the meshes we've been creating. Deselect all - Esc .
The pillar itself is just a default cylinder created from a brush, it can be stretched to any size. Use the top view especially to make sure it's lined up with the rest of the meshes we've been creating.
All that needs to be done is texturing. Select the mesh or meshes you want to apply the texture to, remember to hold done the shift key to select more then one object at a time. Open the texture window,"T", choose the set of textures and then LMB select the actual texture needed, this will apply that texture to all the meshes selected.
Using the patch properties window, "Shift+S" spend some time adjusting the textures to fit the meshes properly so they look 'correct' - use the little arrows to adjust the textures on patches you have selected, some of the textures may need to be rotated so the look correct. What you should end up with is something similar to image below.
The patch mesh surface inspector window used to adjust textures on meshes

Now that the Lakers have a head coach, Magic Johnson is having some feelings about their roster, and which free agents they should pursue. Sunday night, during the Raptors' Game 7 win over Indiana, Magic had his sights set on Toronto wing/L.A. native DeMar DeRozan:
Laker Nation: DeMar DeRozan should be one of the free agents we go after this summer. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 2, 2016
Monday morning, Magic's thinking a little bigger:
Laker Nation: The first free agent the Lakers should go after is Kevin Durant. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 2, 2016
... come to think of it:
Laker Nation: The Lakers should call LeBron James agent. We know he's going stay in CLE but they should go after him just in case he leaves. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) May 2, 2016
Magic is increasingly onto something. Why not just pursue the best players?
We at SB Nation have gained access to some future Magic Johnson tweets:

The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.
President Obama’s economic advisers and outside experts say the nation’s much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind, including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals with credit records weakened by the recession.
In response, administration officials say they are working to get banks to lend to a wider range of borrowers by taking advantage of taxpayer-backed programs — including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration — that insure home loans against default.
This is just, frankly, incredible in its stupidity. We’ve been here, done this and suffered the consequences in terms of a financial meltdown and an economy that seems to be in permanent “recession”. We’d have the T-shirt too, but they took it off our backs.
Consider the administration’s solution to the perception that we’re “leaving too many people behind: Let’s do again what was a major contributor to the last melt down. No prob. They’ll just blame the banks and the “market”. The result: more people “left behind”.
I mean, it hasn’t even been a decade yet. We’re not even doing this with a new administration. These are, for the most part, the same people who crashed it last time.
Why is it that “leaving too many people behind” is the priority, when in the past those who were supposedly left behind, found some way in the future to catch up? Why is it government’s job to “insure” risky loans because of that feel-good claptrap?
Because we’re freakin nuts, that’s why. We’re bound and determined to ruin this country based on an ideology that plays to “feelings” and “emotions” rather than good common sense, the laws of economics and freedom and libery. That’s why.
This is tar and feathers worthy, yet we’ll sit around like lumps while a majority claims it’s a “good idea” because it is “only fair”.

Use MongoDB to store Sitecore log entries centrally!
The idea is to store a copy of the Sitecore logs in a central location such as a common MongoDB. Why? hmm why not? If you are running multiple CD servers and you want to view the logs for all of them in one location, might be one reason. The reason will become apparent in the coming days/weeks!
Next, we need a class MongoLogger, implementing the AppenderSkeleton from the log4net implementation tucked away in Sitecore.Logging.dll. We will pass in the connection string name and the collection name from the config.
I also added a Logger which by default inherits the root. It’s generally not a good practice to add to the root node.
The MongoDBAppender logger is explicitly configured to log to MongoDBAppender, and is configured not to inherit settings from parent loggers (additivity=”false”). Therefore it doesn’t log to LogFileAppender. If you set additivity=”true” it will inherit settings and log to both LogFileAppender and MongoDBAppender.
Here we added the MongoDBAppender followed by LogFileAppender. What this does is that it duplicates the entries in to the MongoDB, which is exactly what I am looking for.

Beef Jerky
Background
Beef jerky is a type of snack food that is made by marinating beef in a curing solution and drying it. Meat treated in this way has a long shelf life and a unique flavor. Invention of this meat processing technology is attributed to Native Americans who smoke-dried meat to preserve it. Beef jerky is part of the rapidly growing meat snack market which experienced yearly sales of over $240 million in 1996. This growth has been attributed to the healthy aspects of beef jerky such as its high protein content and low fat level.
Beef jerky is a specific type of a more general kind of meat snack called jerky. Jerky is any type of meat, which has been cured with a salt solution and has had the moisture reduced to less than 50% of the total. It is typically brown colored and has a rough texture. Compared to unprocessed meat, it is tougher and has a more powerful flavor. This is primarily due to the flavor concentrating effect of the moisture removal process. Beef jerky is promoted as a nutritious, low calorie product, which is low in cholesterol and fat and high in protein and energy.
To increase the consumer acceptance of the product, there are many different flavors of beef jerky that are produced. One of the most common is the pepper flavored jerky. Other types include teriyaki jerky, hot styles, and barbecue styles. Hickory smoked and maple spice flavors are also produced. In addition to these flavors, other meats are used in jerky making. Currently, the most popular jerky meat after beef is turkey.
History
Beef jerky is thought to have originated in South America during the 1800s. The Quechua tribe, who were ancestors of the ancient Inca empire, produced a meat similar to beef jerky called ch'arki, or charqui. It was made by adding salt to strips of muscle tissue from game animals such as deer, buffalo, and elk, and allowing them to dry in the sun or over fires for extended periods of time. This method of preparation enabled the people to preserve meats during times when it was readily available and eat it when food was scarce. When the Spanish encountered this method of meat preservation, they adopted it and made it available to the rest of the world. It became a staple foodstuff for American cowboys and pioneers. Early explorers built smoke huts and hung cuts of meat over a fire to smoke cure the meat. True jerky was made when the meat was first flavored and then cured. Over the years, people discovered that the meat could be made more palatable by the addition of various spices.
Raw Materials
The meat and a curing solution are all the components needed for making meat jerky. The primary starting material for making jerky is the meat. For the best tasting jerky, the beef used is range fed, 100% premium, visually lean, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspected, flank steak. There are some manufacturers who produce a slightly different textured beef jerky using ground beef. In most cases, it requires over five pounds of meat to produce one pound of jerky. While most meat jerky is made using beef, various other types of meat are also used. Turkey has become popular because it is perceived as a healthier alternative to beef. It produces a jerky that is not as tough as beef jerky. Pork is another meat that is made into jerky. This jerky has a slightly different taste.
The curing solution is used to provide a better taste and a longer shelf life for the beef jerky. It is also responsible for the final color of the product. The cure solution also has an antimicrobial effect, which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. A typical curing solution is composed of water and salt plus sodium nitrite. The salt has a dehydrating effect on the meat. The sodium nitrite helps to retard the development of rancidity and stabilizes the color. Sodium ascorbate may also be added to increase the pink color of the meat.
The curing solution is mixed with a brine, which is an aqueous solution of seasonings, spices, salt, sugars, and phosphates. Some common flavorants used include soy sauce, lemon juice, pepper, monosodium glutinate (MSG), or garlic powder. Worcestershire sauce is also used, as is teriyaki sauce. The sugars that are used to provide a level of sweetness include sucrose, dextrose, brown sugar, and dark corn syrup. Flavored salts such as hickory salt or onion salt are also included in the brine. Sodium phosphates may also be used. Some manufacturers use a material known as liquid smoke, which is made by dissolving smoke in water. This material gives the meat a smoke cooked taste without requiring smoke during cooking. Since jerky is very tough, a tenderizing agents such as polyphosphates or papin enzyme can be included. The use of these materials is limited however, because it increases the amount of time required for drying.
The Manufacturing
Process
While many different techniques can be used to make jerky, each have the primary steps of preparing the meat, soaking it in a curing solution, and cooking it until it is dried.
Initial meat preparation
1 Jerky can be prepared from either whole muscle or ground beef. In both cases, the meat is first treated to remove the bones and connective tissue, then the fat is removed. There are generally three methods for defatting the meat. In one instance, the meat is put into a large centrifuge. This device creates a spinning motion, which causes the liquid fat particles to separate from the meat. In another method, the meat is pressed to squeeze out all of the fat. Fat can also be removed from the meat by filtering it. In addition to deboning and defatting, the meat is subjected to other processes, which help remove foreign bodies and other unwanted materials. The meat is put on a conveyor and workers inspect it as it passes by. It may then be put on a metal screen and shaken to remove unwanted material. Other processes may include water separation and the removal of any metals via magnets. Some plants even use x-ray examination to ensure the purity of the meat prior to use.
Preparing the curing solution
2 While the meat is being processed, the curing solution may be prepared. This is typically done in a large tank equipped with mixing blades. Water is filled into the tank and the salt, seasonings, and other materials are mixed in. The solution is heated as required until it is ready to be used. Since some of the materials are not water soluble, it is often necessary to mix before use.
Meat processing and curing
3 At this point, the meat can either be frozen and cut up into chunks by an automatic cutting machine or it can be ground up using a bowl chopping machine. Using the frozen meat method, the meat is allowed to partially thaw, which causes a release of the natural juices. The meat can then be dipped in the curing solution. It must be left in for an appropriately long time to allow total penetration of the liquid, however, not so long as to risk meat contamination. Another method of curing the meat is by injecting it with the curing solution by means of a multi-needle device. Meat treated as such is then sent to a large, stainless steel tumbling device that contains additional curing solution. This helps tenderize the meat and ensures the total penetration of the solution. If ground meat is used, the curing solution can be mixed directly into the meat to produce a workable paste. While ground meat is easier
4 After seasoning, the meat is molded into blocks and cooled to a temperature of 18-28° F (-8 - -2.2° C). When it is adequately frozen, it is sliced into strips. The strips are preferably cut in line with the fiber of the meat. This makes the final product have a more natural looking texture. These strips are then spread out onto wire mesh trays and sent to drying ovens to be cooked. Here the meat strips are heated to 160° F (71.1° C) and gradually cooled to about 90° F (32.2° C). Depending on the method by which the meat was initially prepared, cooking can take as long as 12 hours. During cooking, the moisture in the meat is reduced to 20-40%.
Packaging
5 Many different types of packaging are used for beef jerky. To preserve freshness, most jerky is packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag. One manufacturer uses a triple barrier bag in which the meat is put in, the package is evacuated, filled with nitrogen, and sealed. This method removes all oxygen from the system thereby preventing spoilage due to oxidation. Recently, manufacturers have introduced a resealable type package. These bags are initially vacuum sealed, but also have a zip lock so they can be closed after opening. After the individual meat pieces are packed, they are placed in boxes, put on pallets, and shipped via truck to retail stores.
Quality Control
In any food processing facility, quality control is extremely important. Governmental regulations require that certain minimum standards be met for any raw material that will be used. Meats in particular are heavily regulated because the use of poor quality meat represents a significant health risk. Most companies will use only high quality meat to assure their jerky is of similar quality. All the initial raw materials are checked prior to processing for such things as such as pH, percentage moisture, odor, taste, and appearance.
The Future
Additionally, sanitation procedures for the production equipment are also subject to regulation. Since the beef jerky will be ingested, steps must be taken to ensure that it will have an appealing taste and be free from contamination. For this reason, tests similar to the ones run on the initial raw materials are performed on the final product.
It is anticipated that future developments in meat jerky processing will be found in a few key areas. An important area of product development is focused on developing new flavors of meat jerky. This involves creating different recipes and using various kinds of meats. To further boost the image of meat jerky as a healthy snack, manufacturers will attempt to find ways of reducing the salt content of the final product. In the manufacturing area, a more continuous process is being developed. These techniques should result in more consistent product produced in a much shorter time period. Also, environmental concerns should lead to the development of waste-minimizing technologies.

Rick Santorum has come out against a lot of things that seem like battles left unfought, but it is perhaps his decision to call for prosecution of porn stars that has gotten him the most opposition, though mostly from people in the media speculating that this may be an unpopular position. Finally, however, the workers most affected by his “war on porn” have come out in defense of their craft, calling for voters to send Santorum their favorite porn videos on Twitter, to make a political statement in defense of their craft.
The big names speaking out against Santorum include Vivid Entertainment stars Allie Haze, Chastity Lynn, Chanel Preston, and some guy named “Jerry.” They explain that Santorum supports “infrequently enforced obscenity laws” and lament, “imagine a world without pornography– pizza delivery boys with nothing to dream about, people masturbating to Facebook photos…” They also make a series case for pornography having psychological value: “porn lets you visualize your fantasies so you don’t walk around like a tightly-wound, sexually repressed time bomb.”
And they call for everyone on Twitter to log on and share their favorite videos on May 1st, at 8PM. “Together, we can enfranchise ourselves through the power of incessant masturbation,” Lynn promises. They then decide to endorse Mitt Romney, realize that Romney is a Republican, and just go ahead and endorse Santorum, sure that he has no chance of beating the President.

I think it's time for us to face a cold hard truth as fans of this team. DFW doesn't want us. All those people you thought were going to start coming to games and fill the house, just aren't coming. They've had two decades to do it (11 years in a soccer-specific facility). They'd rather go elsewhere for their entertainment. Sure, there are tons of soccer fans in the Metroplex. However, a Manchester United or Santos Laguna fan does not a FCD fan make. Sure. Signing Chicharito would help in the short run, but would that make fans love the club and make a long lasting relationship? I'm not so sure
We as FCD fans like to make up excuses for those people. They don't want to drive up the tollway because Frisco is too far, HSG won't sign a Mexican national teamer, or there's no roof are common mentions. But maybe none of that really matters. My buddy Braxtan Cooper used to drive from Tyler, TX and would be at almost every home game. I'm sure that wasn't easy, but if you want something bad enough, you'll drive through shitty traffic on DNT or sit in the pouring rain without a roof over your head.
A new wave of MLS is coming our way. Teams like FC Cincinnati are averaging 16,958 fans per game in THIRD DIVISION SOCCER. FC Dallas is averaging 13,884 fans in a diminished capacity stadium and are top of the league. You might say well Cincinnati doesn't have a professional basketball or hockey team and that's my point. MLS has done its best in those markets that aren't flooded with all professional teams. Hell, Atlanta United now have 22,000 season ticket holders and they haven't even kicked a ball yet. That's second in the league only to the Sounders. Even FC Chattanooga who plays in the NPSL (FOURTH DIVISION SOCCER) last August for the championship got 18,227 fans to come out.
Listen, nobody wants this team to succeed more than I do. That's why I complain and bitch about things because I want FC Dallas to be the best on the field, off the field, in every way. However, these new cities are coming and the standards are going up. Eventually expansion will stop and then the weaker franchises will be in the spotlight if they aren't already. We've had 20 years to prove that MLS can succeed in DFW. Will we get 20 more?

“When we dismiss a Family Offender, especially if the outburst becomes grievous or terrorizing; who will teach our children there is help? What path of life will they believe they deserve? Will they grow knowing only to harm their family or will they always allow someone to terrorize them?
Their life path could be drugs, violent outbursts, criminal behavior, maybe gangs and murder; perhaps they will endure silent suffering in extreme depression, or other form of mental illness….This survivor is not trying to take the stage, she is trying to give the stage to the severity of our community violence and sadly how our refusal to address this issue continues teaching silence, tolerance, and acceptance of what’s inside their worst nightmare everyday.
This survivor is using her terrifying life; the enslaved battered child who was shared and traded, used and abandoned, attempted suicide, and continued tolerance of almost murderous attacks, including weapons constantly threatening her daily survival. ‘Trecia Ann’ hopes she can encourage the lost, broken, wounded parents and grandparents today. Let’s open the door, address the inner suffering and become a positive force in your child’s life. They will live in manners taught through our parenting, and leave your home with the life skills you have ingrained; what will be their perceptions of life?
Remember the silence and disregard of the abuses around us, creates what can become the most dangerous crimes in our communities.
‘Yes, I come from a different generation and since that time, throughout the 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s we have learned a lot about the detrimental impact to our human psyche when we are violated and harmed. However, these same studies & statistics show these types of destructive crimes are still happening inside many neighborhoods, apartment buildings, and in our families across the nation. This is what has become a heart wrenching process in trying to bring this topic to the forefront of our legislative leaders, social services, all medical professionals, educators, and law enforcement today.’
In the first interview McKnight shares some of her personal journey growing up inside a house of hell, while an entire community and school system watched as she was traded, shared, exploited and brutally attacked inside her home. In part two you will hear about how early onset PTSD could possibly be misdiagnosed as ADHD. You will hear about her partners who are strong resources of their own; they are finding victims being trafficked/shared by family, beaten and abandoned as she was back then. You will hear about the legislation proposal currently being reviewed by Illinois leaders, hoping to update Prosecution & Statutes when dealing with Family Offenders.
Her story is one which most readers, even survivors, are shocked in disbelief that a mother or a community could be so uncaring about a child. However, the scars that cover her body, the mouth filled with broken (half repaired) teeth, and the ten years in trauma recovery therapy are most definitely proof of just how extreme it actually was for her. Her stepfather was feared by all. Her mother played the perfect impression of his victim. Her siblings were not like her in anyway.
Tragically for this little girl, she was given to her stepfather like property by a narcissistic mother who forced the child into constant family servitude actually purchased a little brass bell for her husband which only ‘Trecia Ann’ was expected to answer. She scrubbed the corners of their family home with a toothbrush every weekend, but she was never given one to brush her teeth or permitted safe time for any personal care or hygiene. She was neglected of all basic human needs, including the most basic need; the crying child begging for her mother’s love and protection.
Please read her story, the first five chapters free, “My Justice’ on Authorhouse.com/Amazon & Barne’s Nobel. Watch the two new personal discussions via Youtube, or join in an upcoming event to hear her speak about the trauma that can exist within our homes.

Non-Flaming Youth
I recently had a conversation with a friend over the quality of youth today from my perspective as a cop who responds to the crap you don’t hear on the news, but that still requires paperwork and an occasional splint. “It’s gotta be bad today I imagine,” he said, “what with all the new drugs we never had and the ease in making fake I.D.’s and stuff, right?” I even surprised myself when my immediate response was “Nah, not really.”
There’s a Doug Stanhope bit (he’s a comedian; if you ride a bicycle competitively you’d never “get him,” but the rest of humanity would) in which he decried the state of partying for our current batch of youth. His basic premise was that kids in the 18-to-21-year-old range today got the shit-end of the stick because “fun” is now watered down and boring. No one is raising hell, not even rock stars, because it’s all too dangerous and potentially offensive now.
To my horror, my friend thought both he and I were insane and that the current generation of know-it-alls and slackers were, in fact, doing their best to raise the bar for the next as is their genetic mission. My friend’s clearly a moron, but seriously, how can anyone say that partying exists anymore?
I’m at the forefront of what bitchy people from a few generations before mine used to call Generation X. I am a child of the ’80s who was aware of the crazy shit The Who and Ozzy Osbourne did in the ’70s and was proud to see it carried on by Def Leppard and Motley Crue as I came of age. Guns N’ Roses breached the early part of the ’90s like a George W. Bush troop surge, but now here we are with freakin’ Coldplay as our new “hellraisers.”
Kids wear helmets with bicycles. Nothing has sugar. Electric cigarettes? Are you shitting on my brain? Stanhope is right; it’s a big damn Nanny State he’s making fun of and the only possible responses to the contrary just give guys like him more material to work with, as if there’s not enough already.
It’s not that today’s youth are less violent by any means; that’s a different issue. No, I’m talking about the fact that it’s freakin’ boring to be young and coming of partying age now, and I think that he might agree that we both hope the freakin’ bottom falls out of this ridiculous “Fun-Nazi Net” that Hillary Clinton created like the weird-ass fun-spider that she, and many of you, have become.
I’m a first responder and I don’t hear about tragic drag-racing crashes on public streets anymore, much less hotels being evacuated for false fire alarms or sex acts in public theaters between consenting young adults. Do I want those things? Certainly not. But my dark cop heart weeps that this is the state of our youth today. My God, how you ever expect people to become interesting if they don’t “do” anything?
Now youths don’t drink coffee, strippers are verboten, and a “new every two” cell phone upgrade is more important than a spontaneous trip to Graceland or Panama City. They’re probably even practicing safe sex. Ugh.
Enjoy your stagnant monotone lives and your eco-friendly cars and moderation in drinking, but let the young be young, you know?
Do you think I’m callous or irresponsible for thinking this way? To the contrary, because in your self-righteous blandness you never considered the fact that we’re 20 years away from the worst mid-life crises (plural) in the history of mankind, and at this rate that could be an extinction-level event.
Don’t feel stupid, I’m usually a step or two ahead, but I am worried that if 50 Cent or Chris Brown isn’t going to throw a TV through a hotel window to kick this party off, who will? I weep for our tame youth. And therefore, for us all.

Hot 100 2013: Alan Frampton
Giving back more than £78,000 in Fairtrade premiums to support miners.
Alan Frampton is undoubtedly a force for good in the universe. A no-nonsense globe-trotting outdoorsman with a head for business and a serious expertise in supply chain logistics, he is as comfortable in a Peruvian mining village as he is jumping out of a plane with his one of his equally daredevil three kids.
He made the 2013 Hot 100 on the back of two years at Cred in which time he has reduced Fairtrade prices, helped the company to launch the world’s first Fairtrade silver and give more than £78,000 in Fairtrade premiums to support its mining community. This money has had a real effect in the shape of sewage improvements, better water provision, computers in schools and, soon, electricity.
“We are in this to see the miners get better lives,” he says, and while he is sincerely happy to hear that other companies are improving their Fairtrade credentials, they don’t always stand up to his scrutiny.“They get nervous when they see me coming at trade fairs. Often when I ask them what they’ve really done it turns out to be no more than a £600 cheque.”
Story continues below

Alan, who is also the chairman of African dental charity Bridge2Aid, and has subsequently made 60 trips to Africa in recent years, brings a real professionalism to Cred, which can boast a 50% uplift in total sales. Last year it sold more than 500 wedding rings, a huge step forward for the company. To Alan, Fairtrade is simply the future; the market, he says, is worth billions and the UK is one of, if not the, biggest supporter. Moreover, the customer profile is educated, young and swelling.
Before Cred, Alan was in the large-scale floristry world, supplying to M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s. As well as building a 10-football-pitch-sized £5 million greenhouse, the job saw him travel regularly to Spain, the Canaries and South America on buying trips.
So as well as learning Spanish, he gleaned a thorough respect for the supply chains in the UK’s supermarkets. “Every supermarket you went into could tell you exactly where their product was from. You try the same in a jewellers. Jewellers are brilliant designers, brilliant retailers and brilliant at customer service but they just don’t have the same grip on the supply chain.”
Cred does. This year it has beaten off competition from across the UK to scoop both the Supply Chain award at the Guardian Sustainable Business Awards, ahead of the likes of M&S and Nestlé, as well as the People and Environment Business award, where it beat famously ethical clothing retailer Patagonia. Impressive.

Acute myeloid leukemia with del(X)(p21) and cryptic RUNX1/RUNX1T1 from ins(8;21)(q22;q22q22) revealed by atypical FISH signals.
A 57-yr-old woman was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with maturation, based on morphological and cytochemical/immunophenotypic findings on bone marrow studies. Conventional cytogenetic analysis using bone marrow cells revealed terminal deletion of the short arm of an X chromosome as 46,X,del(X)(p21)[8]/46,XX[12]. On the other hand, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the RUNX1/RUNX1T1 (formerly AML1/ETO) rearrangement revealed 86% interphase nuclei with one fusion signal, which was found to be on the long arm of chromosome 8 on metaphase FISH, indicating the RUNX1/RUNX1T1 rearrangement by cryptic insertion of the RUNX1 gene. Molecular genetic study by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed the presence of the chimeric transcript. The final karyotype was 46,X,del(X)(p21).ish ins(8;21)(q22;q22q22)(RUNX1T1+,RUNX1+;RU NX1+,RUNX1T1-)[8]/46,XX[12]. In addition to the cryptic RUNX1/RUNX1T1 rearrangement, this is the first report of partial deletion of an X chromosome as an additional cytogenetic aberration in AML with RUNX1/RUNX1T1.

- Una strada che da Confucio porta al “posto” che alla Cina spetta “nel mondo”. Nella Grande sala del Popolo di Pechino va in scena la cerimonia di chiusura all’la sessione annuale del Parlamento. E dopo aver riscritto le regole del potere, assicurandosi un mandato senza limiti di tempo , il segretario-presidente-comandante-in-caposale sul palco per riscrivere la mitologia nazionale.Un discorso che ripercorre i grandi successi del popolo, capace di “realizzare un miracolo dopo l’altro”. Fino al prossimo miracolo, il ringiovanimento del Paese che Xi ha promesso e che entro il 2035 dovrebbe portare il Dragone nella modernità compiuta, a livelli di benessere comparabili a quelli degli Stati Uniti. “Siamo più vicini a quel sogno”.Un discorso identitario, più che di programma. Molto più breve della prolusione di tre ore tenuta a novembre alla fine del Congresso del Partito, ma più lungo di quello di cinque anni fa, dopo la prima a nomina a presidente. Parole in linea con la riscoperta dell’orgoglio nazionale (e nazionalistico) già promossa da Xi nel suo primo quinquennio, e che in questo secondo dovrebbe prendere ancora più forza. Insieme alle rivendicazioni da parte della Cina del suo ruolo di potenza globale , “pacificamente”, “senza cercare espansione o egemonia”, ma all’occorrenza con battaglie “sanguinose contro i nemici”. “Ogni azione che cerca di dividere il Paese è destinata a fallire e a fronteggiare la punizione della storia: neanche un centimetro della nostra terra potrà essere e sarà ceduto”, ha detto il presidente riferendosi alle spinte indipendentiste di Hong Kong e soprattutto di Taiwan, con cui Trump sta provando a intensificare i rapporti diplomatici. “La Cina ha la volontà e le capacità per sconfiggere ogni attività separatista”, ha aggiunto tra gli applausi dei 3 mila delegati.
Poca economia nelle parole di Xi, anche se secondo molti le dinamiche della crescita saranno decisive per la stabilità del suo regno. Questa parte viene lasciata al premierche in una conferenza stampa dopo la cerimonia di chiusura mostra la faccia dialogante del regime: “Non è nostra volontà avere un grande surplus o una guerra commerciale con gli Stati Uniti – ha detto in risposta al vento protezionista che soffia dall’America – ridurremo ancora le tasse sulle importazioni e proteggeremo la proprietà intellettuale delle imprese straniere”. Quanto a Xi, nessuna menzione diretta degli Stati Uniti, piuttosto tanti riferimenti alla mitologia e al genio creativo della Cina, a cominciare dall’invenzione del compasso.Il suo pensiero inserito nella Costituzione, modificata con appena due voti contrari e tre astenuti (su 2980 votanti) per aprirgli la strada del comando a vita. Il titolo di “timoniere” attribuitogli dai media della propaganda, lo stesso di Mao. Un governo pieno di fedelissimi nei posti chiave, come gli amici-consiglieri. E un controllo sempre più stretto del Partito comunista sulla macchina dello Stato. Ieri nell’ultimo voto previsto in questa maratona di consenso, l’Assemblea nazionale ha infatti approvato la legge sulla Supervisione. Quella che estende la giustizia parallela rivolta da Xi contro corrotti e nemici politici dai soli membri del Partito a tutti i funzionarti pubblici. Un compasso che disegna cerchi sempre più larghi.

Sweet word "treason." Yes, that's the way it sounds when there is a desire to change their permanent sexual partner. To change suddenly, accidentally, unexpectedly, in the wrong place... And experience the whirlwind of unfamiliar emotions and pleasure. And then what?.. To some, this word becomes bitter. While others continue to experience the thrill of a secret relationship and spontaneous sex with an unexpected partner.

Poems about sex, published in this section will help to diversify the sexual relationship and set the right mood. Coercion in sex is quite common. Many experts consider it a kind of bdsm, or rough sex. In the latter case, pleasure from sexual coercion to get both active and passive partner. But forced sex is not always applied on the hidden consent of the coerced partner. Sexual coercion without the consent of the partner is called rape. Register sex affenders Southeast asian literature

It’s not about the cost/taxes for locals, as long as it is locals who get to sell/build the shit, but about foreigners bringing wads of cash from the outside to leave there. Anyway, I’m from Spain, and here there was talk about even legalizing prostitution for the next Olympics, so tough luck Japan.
Shaming Japan? Really? Do they want to be considered the most stuck-up nation to where people only look at them as organic robots (android or cyborg, your choice). I never fully understood the idea of shame. Is it how others look at them negatively? Most nations that had the Olympics has strip clubs, porn, burlesques, etc. Who are they trying to impress? And censoring genitals? Might as well censor nature itself? I never looked forward to Japanese porn because of it until it’s imported. Shame, …

Q:
Solving equation over $\mathbb{Z}$ involving squares
Solve the equation $$a^2 - 10b^2 = 2$$ for $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$.
I tried to consider the equation as a polynomial in the indeterminate $a$ and what I get is $$a_{1,2} = \pm \sqrt{10b^2 + 2}$$ which does not really help (I would have to find $b \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $10b^2 + 2 = n^2$ for some natural number $n$). So I looked at the solutions where it is written: obviously, this equation is not solvable over $\mathbb{Z}$. For me, it is not that obvious. Could anyone please show me how to see, that this equation is not solvable over $\mathbb{Z}$?
A:
If you consider the equation modulo $5$, you get $$a^2\equiv2\pmod5.$$ Checking the squares modulo $5$, we see that $2$ isn't a square, hence this equation has no solutions in the integers.

Eribulin mesylate and capecitabine show similar efficacy for patients with locally-advanced or metastatic breast cancer
medwireNews: Phase III clinical trial results suggest that eribulin mesylate does not offer significant survival benefits over those of capecitabine for women with locally-advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
“Our results contrast with those of EMBRACE, in which a statistically significant improvement in OS [overall survival] was seen with eribulin compared with [the physician’s choice]”, report Peter Kaufman, from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, USA, and co-authors.
Patients in the current trial were randomly assigned to receive eribulin mesylate (n=554) or capecitabine (n=548) as a first-, second- or third-line treatment for advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
By contrast, the EMBRACE trial included patients with metastatic breast cancer who had received between two and five cytotoxic regimens for advanced disease.
“It is possible that treatment earlier in the course of [metastatic breast cancer] is less likely to impact OS, as a consequence of such patients typically receiving further lines of cytotoxic or other therapy”, the authors hypothesise.
“Even if therapeutically more active, a first- or second-line regimen may not impact on OS when multiple subsequent lines of effective treatment are administered.”
Objective response rates were also comparable for the two groups, with independent reviewer values of 11.0% and 11.5% for eribulin mesylate and capecitabine, respectively.
And prespecified analysis found that the efficacy of eribulin mesylate did not significantly differ between patients who were negative for human Epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2 and those who were HER2-positive or of unknown HER2 status.

Make Republicans Fucking Choke on Donald Trump
Fuck acting like it's some kind of amazing act of bravery when Republicans say they are not going to vote for their nominee, Donald Trump. You know what? That's the fucking least you can do. In fact, fuck praising some of them for saying they'll vote for Hillary Clinton, as if somehow they had a magical conversion, like they were getting fucked by their boy-toys and, right at orgasm, thought, "Huh. Maybe I should move away from the party that says this is wrong" and used Trump as an excuse to stand tall when every other time they crawled like worms, happily ingesting all the dirt they could shove into their holes.
No, fuck that. You motherfuckers created Donald Trump. You in the GOP made it possible for him to capture the imaginations of the idiot hordes who became idiot hordes because of the steady diet of shit you've fed them for decades. Trump is here because of you, and he needs to be shoved down your throats until you choke, no matter how much you protest against him.
Did you read the actual letter from Republican national security officials? The one where 50 of the most hawkish, hateful cocks ever to give the nation their disease said that they would not vote for Trump? Yeah, read that thing. You'll see lots of lines about Trump's temperament and intelligence, like "Mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be President. He weakens U.S. moral authority as the leader of the free world. He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, and U.S. institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary." This is not to mention that "A President must be disciplined, control emotions, and act only after reflection and careful deliberation. A President must maintain cordial relationships with leaders of countries of different backgrounds and must have their respect and trust" and Trump sure as shit ain't any of that. Most of the letter is that kind of "No shit, Sherlock" stuff.
You know what that letter lacks? A single goddamn sentence condemning Trump's promises and policies. They don't condemn him for his language on Muslims and immigrants, they don't say shit about his wall or his ban on people from whatever country hasn't powdered his balls lately. They don't spend any time talking about Trump's approach to ISIS or his promise to bring back torture (something that sadist John Negroponte must love). So what we can conclude is that if a candidate who wasn't dumber than a bucket of hair and who could shut the fuck up sometimes was running on the same foreign policy platform, these shitheels and fucknuts wouldn't have a problem with him. In other words, Trump's just a crappy messenger; the message is fine.
And that's generally the pattern. It's not what Trump's running on that scares off Republicans. It's that he's a prick. And while, sure, it's great that they're not voting for him and some are actually voting for Clinton, the reason is more that they want the rational hawk and not the mongoose-on-meth who might get us all nuked. There are exceptions, like Bush's Commerce Secretary, Carlos Gutierrez, who dislikes Trump's economic plans.
Hillary Clinton has embraced these wayward Republicans in that annoying way that Democrats have of trying to say that what they believe is extra-valid because Republicans like it. Yeah, she's making it seem safe for Republicans to cross that wall and vote for her by providing cover but, frankly, I don't need a fucking ad with fucking Michael Hayden and fucking Charles Krauthammer justifying why Hillary Clinton is a better choice than Donald Trump. Because, see, that's the lie that Obama bought into that fucked him over: That somehow he would bring people together who wouldn't ordinarily work together.
The second Clinton is inaugurated, impeachment proceedings will begin because that's what these GOP fuckers do. And every single one of them will run like baby rats back to their rat mother's teats and join the party in condemning Clinton for whatever made up shit they crap out this time. Their support of Clinton is just fucking cover so that they can say they turned away from Trump when he finally melts down and starts calling for death squads (which, again, would make Negroponte fucking hard).
If I were Clinton, I'd demand that each of these assholes scrambling to get away from Trump join the Democratic Party. Don't make it easy on this scum. Tell them they need abandon their party or tell them to go to hell with Trump. Leave the GOP to the extremists and the racists and the nutzoids. You know climate change is real. You know gun laws need to be passed. You fucking know that the tax laws are tilted radically towards the wealthy. You know that LGBT issues are done. You know that unless you get down and dirty with the fundamentalists and nationalists and the remnants of the Tea Party, you will be primaried. So fuck you and your support. Show you mean it. Then we can fight about the identity of the Democratic Party, which we're gonna have to do anyway.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to synchronization devices and, more particularly, to reducing the lock time of devices implementing a phase locked loop to synchronize input signals.
2. Description of the Related Art
This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of art which may be related to various aspects of the present invention which are described and/or claimed below. This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
During high frequency operation, it is often desirable to synchronize the timing of certain signals, such as clock signals, with other clock signals or data signals. Various synchronization devices may be implemented to provide an output signal that is matched in terms of phase and/or frequency to an input signal, which may be an external clock signal, for example. Synchronization devices may, for example, be implemented to synchronize an external system clock with data being transmitted from a memory device.
One means of synchronizing signals is by implementing a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit. The DLL circuit is used to create an output signal that is phase-matched to the input signal. In conventional DLL circuits, an input buffer is used to receive an input signal, such as an external clock signal, and to transmit the signal to one or more delay lines. The delay line includes a number of delay elements. A phase detector may be used to compare the input clock signal to the output signal by using a feedback loop. The information can then be fed from the phase detector to a shift register to move through the delay elements in the delay line incrementally to search for a match. When the input signal and output signal are equal or “matched”, the signals are synchronized, and the DLL is considered locked. As can be appreciated, the output signal inherently has the same frequency as the input clock signal.
While DLLs may be desirable for pure delay compensation or clock conditioning applications based on the unconditional stability of the DLL architecture, for other applications, such as frequency synthesis, other delay devices may be desirable. One such device is the phase locked loop (PLL). The fundamental difference between the PLL and the DLL is that instead of a delay line, the PLL implements a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to generate a clock signal that approximates an input clock signal. In addition to providing a mechanism for phase adjustment, as with the DLL, the PLL provides a mechanism for frequency adjustment and matching.
Generally, a PLL is a synchronization device which implements a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO is constantly adjusted under the control of a phase detector to match the phase and frequency of an input signal. In addition to stabilizing a particular communications channel (i.e., maintaining the frequency), a PLL may be implemented to generate a signal, modulate or demodulate a signal, reconstitute a signal with less noise, or multiply/divide a frequency. PLLs are often used in wireless communication, particularly where signals are carried using frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM). PLLs are more commonly used for digital data transmission, but can also be designed for analog information.
Specifically, a PLL includes a VCO that is tuned using a varactor. The PLL includes a phase/frequency detector which causes the VCO to seek and lock onto the desired frequency, based on the output of a crystal-controlled reference oscillator. As with the DLL, the PLL is implemented through a feedback scheme. If the VCO frequency departs from the selected crystal reference frequency, the phase comparator produces an error voltage that is applied to the varactor, bringing the VCO back to the reference frequency. The PLL, VCO, reference oscillator and phase comparator form a frequency synthesizer.
Disadvantageously, using a PLL to synchronize signals often requires several hundred clock cycles to lock both the phase and frequency of a reference signal. By delaying the signal lock, system performance may be degraded. Thus, it would be desirable to provide a synchronization device that locks both phase and frequency in a minimum number of clock cycles.
Embodiments of the present invention may address one or more of the problems set forth above.

Wenger predicts busy transfer window
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hopeful of concluding the transfer of midfielder Mohamed Elneny this week and predicts one of the busiest January transfer windows in the Premier League.
The Gunners are close to signing Elneny from FC Basel and Wenger believes all clubs in the top flight will be active.
"We hope to have things done this week. I'm optimistic," said Wenger.
Ex-Arsenal striker Benik Afobe's move from Wolves to Bournemouth for about £10m is the biggest so far this month.
Chelsea's £23m signing of Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado was the largest deal completed on transfer deadline day in 2015 as Premier League spending in the January window matched 2014's £130m.
That figure fell well short of the record £225m spent in 2011.
Wenger said: "My prediction is that it could be one of the most active January transfer windows that we've seen."
The Frenchman is anticipating a lot of deals being done in the league over the next three weeks.
"I would say for the media you could have some good news in the January transfer window," he said. "I believe many clubs will be active. You go from the clubs who are down in the table like Villa, who have to do something, to the clubs at the top."
He also tipped Afobe to do well at Bournemouth.
"Afobe has the qualities to integrate into a team like Bournemouth, whose game is based on movement, pace and quick football," he added.
"I am very happy for Benik because he had an outstanding attitude here. Sometimes you have to let people go who are not completely ready for us, knowing they could be successful."

Free Mother’s Day ideas worth more to us than “stuff”
08 Mar Free Mother’s Day ideas worth more to us than “stuff”
You’ve left Mother’s Day too late you say? Well it’s a bloody good job that Crafty Cawood is here with some ideas for you then, isn’t it?
You see guys, whilst we LOVE flowers and candles and a nice meal out, what us mummies of young children are really lacking is TIME. We often bypass all the fun stuff because there are skids in the loo, a mountain of washing and the dust bunnies are taking over every corner.
On my more frazzled days of being mum/housewife/pa/taxi/cleaner/etc/etc/ad infinitum/ad nauseum I often daydream about a fairy godmother that would come and do all the small shit, so I could maybe go and get my nails done, or spend half an hour with a book.
SO, here’s the first free idea: You could send Mummy out for a while to see a friend, go for a walk with the smalls, or (if funds allow) have a mani or summat. WHILE she’s out: do the shit jobs that she normally does.
Example. Once on my birthday many years ago, when asked what I wanted, I said “for all my cupboards to be cleaned out”. My fairy godmother Suzie (the best friend a girl could ask for) came and did exactly that while I was out. It is still one of the loveliest, kindest and most memorable gifts I have ever received.
So, do the small shit so your BabyMama can go and enjoy some bigger shit.
Homemade vouchers are another cute, free and lovely idea. Get the kids to help you if they’re old enough. You can find some amazing free printables online (check out Pinterest). “Breakfast In Bed”, “A Day Off From Chores” and “A Candlelit Bath” are all ideas to put on them….
Last year, on Mother’s Day my lovely husband and two Smalls made me a jar of hearts. Inside were lots of heart shaped papers with things they love about me written on. Hunter wrote his own, Autumn had some Daddy help. Whenever I have a bad day, I go and pick one out. So far I’ve picked out things like: “You make our house beautiful, always and that makes me proud”, “Mummy gives the best hugs”, “You can always find stuff”. It’s the best Mother’s Day gift I’ve ever had, although it should come with a mascara warning….
My homemade jar of hearts:).
“you have a lovely garden”. Thanks Hunter!
Awww, thank you Autumn: you too!
Thank you my darling OH:).It means the world to me for my hard work to be appreciated.
Another ace one: Make us a playlist of our favourite tunes. You don’t get to police this, so if we love naff show tunes (*raises hand meekly*) then shove them on there. Oh and Andy: I know you hate Ed Sheeran, but I don’t:).
Final, fab, FREE Mother’s Day idea. Leave us alone. OK, OK, I get that that sounds a bit selfish, but we don’t often get to just “be”. Whenever I’m at home, I’m “doing”. I am not very good at just “being”. But I so enjoy it when I get the chance.
So there you have it late-leavers! Go and start getting crafty and earn yourself some serious partner points in the process. You can thank me later:).

Q:
Windows service and make it run from 10 A.M to 10 P.M every day with interval
I have a .NET EXE. I want it to set it as a Windows service and make it run from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M. every day with interval of every 3 hrs: 10 A. M, 1 P.M, 4 P.M, 7 P.M, and 10 P.M.
How this can be done? Please help me. There is a method inside the EXE, which needs to contact the database and get the count of the table.
Note: The values of timing are tend to change , it comes from the back end. I mean the from time 10 A.M and thru time 10. PM and frequency 3 hrs. So that they can change according to they needs.
A:
You don't need a service for this (it's not what services are designed to do).
Use a Windows Scheduled Task for this, and have it run your normal executable at the times you need it to be run. You can do this using the Task Scheduler (in Start->Programs->Accessories->Administrative Tools).

Watch: Trailer For The Biggest International Motion Picture Of All Time ‘Casa De Mi Padre’
Watch: Trailer For The Biggest International Motion Picture Of All Time 'Casa De Mi Padre'
Audiences will pretty much watch whatever Will Ferrell does — unless it's an indie drama — but the question is, will they tolerate subtitles? We'll soon find out as "Casa De Mi Padre" rides into theaters this spring, and yes, it's in Spanish.
The film features a pretty awesome cast, led by Ferrell who plays Armando Alvarez, a financially struggling ranch owner who is seemingly saved by his younger brother Raul (Diego Luna — oddly enough, looking far less absurd here than he does in "Contraband") who is a successful international businessman. But when Armando falls for Raul's fiancée Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez), Raul's shady dealings come to the fore and, well, shit happens. Gael Garcia Bernal is coming in on the fun as well, playing drug lord Onza, along with Nick Offerman (aka Ron Fucking Swanson).
Looks like it's perfectly pitched and over-the-top, and while Mexican soap operas are cited as an inspiration point, director Matt Piedmont seems to have used the genre as simply a starting point for some ridiculous fun. "Casa De Mi Padre" arrives on March 16th.

11 Comebacks You Can Use To Immediately Shut The Narcissist Down
Ahh, the narcissist… they always come back, don’t they? I know how hard it may be to say ‘no’ to them and turn your back on their alluring charisma – but you must!
Here are 11 comebacks you can use for your favor to shut down the narcissist when they come back.
1. “DON’T CHANGE THE TOPIC.”
Of course, the narcissist will try to change any topic that it doesn’t suit them or expose them. So, whenever they try to do this, your job is to remind them of what you were talking about. Don’t let them fool you.
2. “SORRY, BUT I AM NOT MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.”
Yes, the narcissist will try to come back into your life like nothing has happened. So, you have to stop them from manipulating you once again. Don’t fall for their tricks. Learn from your mistakes.
3. “I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU.”
The narcissist wants to be in power. They want to intimidate you. They want you to be afraid of them. Well, maybe you’ve been scared the first time. Not anymore.
4. “SLOW DOWN.”
They will try to rush things when they decide to come back to catch you in their web again. So, ask them politely to slow down so that you can better understand what they need of you.
5. “I AM ASSERTIVE AND DETERMINED THIS TIME.”
When they call you emotional and dramatic, make clear to them that you are not. Stand your ground and let them see the determined, changed and confident person that you’ve become.
6. “I ONLY BELIEVE THE THINGS I SEE.”
The narcissist always says one thing and they do another. Yes, they are always promising you the world but somehow beside heartache, you don’t get anything.
7. “I WILL DECIDE FOR MYSELF.”
The narcissist is such a control freak that they will try to make all the decisions for you. Don’t allow them. Only you have the power over your life and only you can decide what’s best for you.
8. “IT IS NOT MY FAULT.”
Remember that it was never your fault. Even though they were always putting the blame on you. Don’t let them play the victim again. You saw their true colors by now.
9. “THE WORLD DOESN’T REVOLVE AROUND YOU.”
The narcissist always feels entitled to everything. They feel that everyone should cater to their needs. They require constant attention and admiration. So, next time when they come back, make them see that now you are putting your needs first.
10. “I WILL NOT DO THIS RIGHT NOW.”
If they start being aggressive or verbally abusive, the best thing is to just walk away. No explanation needed.
11. “NO.”
The narcissist’s most dreaded word. Say it as often as you can. It will put them off their game every time.

Start codon
The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes and Archaea and a modified Met (fMet) in bacteria, mitochondria and plastids. The most common start codon is AUG.
The start codon is often preceded by a 5' untranslated region (5' UTR). In prokaryotes this includes the ribosome binding site.
Alternative start codons
Alternative start codons are different from the standard AUG codon and are found in both prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes. Alternate start codons are still translated as Met when they are at the start of a protein (even if the codon encodes a different amino acid otherwise). This is because a separate transfer RNA (tRNA) is used for initiation.
Eukaryotes
Alternate start codons (non-AUG) are very rare in eukaryotic genomes. However, naturally occurring non-AUG start codons have been reported for some cellular mRNAs. Seven out of the nine possible single-nucleotide substitutions at the AUG start codon of dihydrofolate reductase were functional as translation start sites in mammalian cells. In addition to the canonical Met-tRNA Met and AUG codon pathway, mammalian cells can initiate translation with leucine using a specific leucyl-tRNA that decodes the codon CUG.
Candida albicans uses a CAG start codon.
Mitochondria
Mitochondrial genomes use alternate start codons more significantly (AUA and AUU in humans). Many such examples, complete with codons, systemic range, and citations, are given in the GenBank list of translation tables.
Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes use alternate start codons significantly, mainly GUG and UUG.
E. coli uses 83% AUG (3542/4284), 14% (612) GUG, 3% (103) UUG and one or two others (e.g., an AUU and possibly a CUG).
Well-known coding regions that do not have AUG initiation codons are those of lacI (GUG) and lacA (UUG) in the E. coli lac operon. Two more recent studies have independently shown that 17 or more non-AUG start codons may initiate translation in E. coli.
Standard genetic code
Engineered start codons
Engineered initiator tRNAs (tRNAfMet2 with CUA anticodon) have been used to initiate translation at the amber stop codon UAG. This type of engineered tRNA is called a nonsense suppressor tRNA because it suppresses the translation stop signal that normally occurs at UAG codons. One study has shown that the amber initiator tRNA does not initiate translation to any measurable degree from genomically-encoded UAG codons, only plasmid-borne reporters with strong upstream Shine-Dalgarno sites .

“TREASON?”
Jesus wept.
Nothing is beyond imagining by now, of course. Twenty months of Trump and we are so far down the rabbit hole, we’ve practically reached China.
Make possibly the most paranoid, narcissistic and unhinged man on the planet the most powerful man on the planet and this is what you get. This is what America gets — maybe it what deserves.
Donald Trump knows from conspiracy theories, having almost single-handedly oxygenized the birther lie of Barack Obama’s provenance. Of course he’ll erupt volcanically over the prospect of a traitor in the White House — where, as CNN reported Thursday, top staffers were busy printing out and hand-delivering “Not I” letters to the commander-in-chief.
Red more:
Washington consumed by the mystery White House official behind damning New York Times article
Fast and furious, with (as of this writing) nearly 20 top-drawer members of the Trump administration stepping up to publicly deny-deny-deny.
Uh-uh, swear to God, not the insider whose anonymous op-ed column in the New York Times has thrown Washington into a tizzy.
Tizzier. Tizziest.
Which is saying a mouthful, amidst the endless turmoil of the Trump administration and the recent week from hell as, one by one, his closest allies turned against him: the former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, who implicated Trump in testimony about hush money payments to two women who alleged affairs; the former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, found guilty on a slew of financial charges; the long-time friend, David Pecker, CEO of National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc., who’s been granted immunity from prosecution to provide information about the Cohen probe.
The pointed — don’t you dare — exclusion of Trump from Sen. John McCain’s funeral.
Then, thunderclap revelations from Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward, based on first-hand interviews with employees (albeit with sources protected), with cabinet officials deriding Trump (“idiot”) and denouncing his presidency (“crazytown”) as a lost cause.
Then, the blistering anonymous op-ed column, providing an eye-popping peek behind the curtain, everybody now scrambling to out him (or her) first. And it will happen.
“The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations,” wrote Deep Throat II.
“The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making…
“It may be cold comfort in this chaotic era but Americans should know that there are adults in the room. We fully recognize what is happening. And we are trying to do what’s right even when Donald Trump won’t.”
And this from a person who professes to want the administration to succeed.
Trump is seething, fit to be tied.
Oh, if only somebody would.
“TREASON?” he tweeted, sounding no different than some of the world’s worst dictators, with zero regard for the U.S. Constitution and no grasp of the definition for treason.
Indeed, from Trump’s Twitter stream of (un)consciousness twaddle:
“Kim Jong Un of North Korea proclaims ‘unwavering faith in President Trump.’ Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!”
Treason, as defined in the Constitution, is specifically restricted to “levying war” against the nation, or giving “aid and comfort” within the U.S., to the enemy.
Trump: “Does the so-called ‘Senior Administration Official’ really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phoney source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!”
Bollocks. The (non-failing) Times has no duty to identify the writer. That’s insanity. But this is a lunatic president, with precious few in the Republican Party having the stones to stand up to him.
Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
Was it abnormal for the Times to publish an incognito attack? Sure. But these are abnormal times.
This isn’t a president who even tries to put out fires. He pours gasoline on them.
So he’s taking names, making a list and checking it twice. The shame is that so many caught up in the who-dat speculation are more preoccupied with the messenger than the cri-de-coeur message.
A president who is a risk to the country. An administration a-roil with alarm. An inner “resistance” trying desperately to contain Trump’s worst tendencies.
We have been told repeatedly that impeachment of Trump is a non-starter, despite critics noting from the get-go that he has committed numerous offences which merit impeachment.
Anonymous now tells us that there were “early whispers” within the cabinet about invoking the 25th Amendment, but “no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis.”
If not now, when?
When last was America in such an existential crisis?
The 25th Amendment, adopted 51 years ago in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, provides a process for declaring that a president is unfit for office.
It is complicated and it would be unprecedented. But it exists for a purpose, if perhaps nobody could have conceived of a loose-marbles Trump in the Oval Office.
It would require Vice-President Mike Pence and a majority of cabinet to provide a written declaration to the president pro-tempore of the Senate (currently Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah) stipulating that Trump is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of office.” As the New York Times noted yesterday, “that would immediately strip Mr. Trump of the powers of his office and make Mr. Pence the acting president.”
Trump could, doubtless would, immediately send a written declaration to Hatch, protesting the accusation. That would trigger more back-and-forth with, ultimately, two-thirds of both the House and the Senate having to agree Trump should be stripped permanently of the position.
None of that, starting with Pence, is going to happen.
The 25th Amendment is actually more difficult to invoke than the impeachment process.
But as long as Trump can gonzo — and connive, and lie, and disgrace the presidency — the rest of us can dream.

Mark Moriarity is a bit of a legend in some circles. He’s probably the world’s most renowned restorer off all things crazy and wacky from the late 1950’s up through the 1960’s. He’s restored and owned many original Ed Roth cars, the Car Craft Dream Rod, the Futurian, and others. Put shortly, the man knows his shit.
In any case, Mark recently stumbled upon a crazy old lawn mower. He didn’t have any serious projects in the shop, so he figured he would clean it up a bit. Boy did he… Check it out:
I realize this isn’t exactly on topic, but figured you fellas would enjoy it.

Pity Tom Hiddleston. Not only finished with, er, publicity-shy popstress Taylor Swift but ruled out of contention for the next James Bond film.
According to you, the former Night Manager’s tight buns won’t be shaking and stirring their way through the next 007 flick.
A Reg poll on who should follow Daniel Craig as the next …
My wife thinks Craig looks like a rapist!!
Can't stand Craig in any role I've seen him in, never a watched a Bond of his. My wife said she can't stand Craig either as he has very creepy eyes that just make you feel sick, like he's either going to rape you or beat you up! Ha ha!
If Elba takes the role I'd be more than happy to head back to watching my first Bond in many years if Elba is given a crack at it!
Re: What the?
Re: What the?
@muddysteve
You are quite right! There is indeed confusion, but it appears to be on the part of the game's developers:
-He is the shortest character in the game, despite Oddjob as he appeared in the original film being about average height. It seems likely that he was confused with the actually diminutive Nick Nack from The Man with the Golden Gun.
-Due to his short height, he cannot be hit by the normal auto-aim gunfire (which simply shoots above his -head). Instead the other player must stop moving to use the precise aim crosshairs to aim downward and deliberately at him. Because of this, Oddjob gives his user an unfair advantage and his use is often looked down upon.
Re: What the?
Why not Vladimir Putin (yes, that one)?. Leave aside for a moment the fact that he's the big bad wolf of the moment, he'd be perfect: white, charismatic, womanizer, alcohol resistant (he's Russian), martial arts & combat training. What more do you want?
Re: Let's keep in mind you need someone who does bad things OHMSS
Re: Let's keep in mind you need someone who does bad things OHMSS
Tom Hardy sometimes seems more like he'd play a Bond that kept previous opponents in the cellar for casual dismemberment for personal amusement in his downtime. Just a bit too psycho I think. Good, but not sure he's Bond. Again, like Idris, I think he'd make a better bad guy.
T'was I...
...that first nominated Dabbsy in the original article. I was confidant he could win the poll. But then Idris was nominated and doubt crept into my mind. I incapable of continuing to support my champion.

The incident took place on the flight from Sharjah to Delhi last Saturday
A mid-air scuffle between pilots and cabin crew of an Air India flight last Saturday did not endanger the 106 passengers on board, the company says.
It says its preliminary enquiry has established "that the cockpit was not left unmanned at any stage of the flight" from Sharjah to Delhi.
One of the pilots and a cabin crew member have been suspended, its says.
The brawl is said to have begun when a female flight attendant claimed the pilots had sexually harassed her.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Air India said a five-member committee investigating the altercation would determine "the extent of involvement and culpability" of the individuals concerned.
Counter-claim
The incident took place over Pakistan on the Air India IC 884 flight from Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, to Delhi.
One pilot and one air hostess reportedly suffered bruises, as punches were thrown.
The cabin crew alleged that pilots sexually had harassed the 24-year-old flight attendant, who filed a complaint once the plane landed.
Indian police registered the case against the pilots for "outraging the modesty of a woman", The Times of India reported.
But the newspaper said the pilots had made a counter-claim, saying that the harassment claim was an attempt to divert attention from accusations of misconduct against a male flight attendant.
Air India said shortly afterwards that it had grounded all the staff involved.

Q:
What famous word or phrase can I use to tell people my surname is 袁?
I know in Chinese people sometimes use other common words or phrases to tell people what characters their Chinese name has.
My Chinese name is Yuan Li Heng (袁禮恒)
For Li I can say Li Wu 禮物 and for Heng I can say Yong Heng 永恒. Yuan is a little harder because from I've heard, it's more just a common surname.
What's usually the best way to tell people what character it is in Chinese if the character itself doesn't really have any associated meanings?
A:
Just mention a famous person with that surname, e.g.
袁紹 from the Three Kingdoms
袁崇煥, patriot, martyr, and brilliant military commander who was instrumental in repelling the Jurchens for the Ming Dynasty
袁世凱, first president of the Republic of China
A:
Referencing famous names is a good idea. But if it still doesn't work, you might have to describe the radicals.
For example, my surname is 张. I was often asked to clarify whether it's 立-早 章 or 弓-长 张, when I told them my surname pronounced as 'zhang'.

Group hug of 420 developers at European Rails Conference Railsberry - elamadej
http://vimeo.com/40734575
In other words - Happy Friday by @tenderlove ;)
======
lucky_gambler
WTF this has to hackers? I've tried to search any sane video from this event
but found only short pieces with baloons and unicorns.
I know having fun is important but tech event without tech isn't tech event
~~~
elamadej
Hey, good point Lucky Gambler...but oh God are we working on it ;) There will
be tons of "tech" content from Railsberry, it just took place a few day ago!
~~~
l00ki
So, there wasn't time for preparing some video summary of speakers and what
they talk about... but there was enough time for making 2 or more videos about
songs, piano perf and well, baloons.
It's clear what was more important to organizers. Certainly not Rails :)

I enjoyed unburdening my feet of my boots and runner and letting them spread out freely on ryan’s face and chest. Just as there’s no replacement for walking on a man in my shoes or boots or socks, there is no replacement for going barefoot on someone. So, without further adieu, off with the socks!
On ryan's privates
A testament to how horny and tough ryan is as a floormat–his erection stayed rock hard the entire time I walked on him and in the photo above I could feel his dick almost lifting my foot away from his crotch, he was so plank-hard.
Just getting started, carefully at first in order to keep my balance even if the little squirt writhes under me
There’s nothing like that first step onto a willing chest. The ball of my foot eases snuggly onto his sternum and floating ribs. I like to mix hard and soft play, and though I could begin all my tramples with one big jumping stomp onto his body, I prefer to mix the approach and go soft and almost gentle much of the time as I lead up into the real deal. But ask anyone who’s been under me–soft doesn’t mean pain-free; it just means that I’m not caught up in a spurt of sadism at that moment. My foot pressing down on ryan will feel nothing short of assertive…
Hooking a toe or two into some face
As above, I love to really use my feet and my toes. I’m very expert at using them to grip, rip, tear, touch, torment, grind, and kick! And of course I’m a very good hiker, climber, and wrestler, but that’s getting onto a tangent… Here I’m reaching into ryan’s face with my big toe, pointing it right between his lips and opening them up. Doing so with all the assertiveness and command of a professor pointing out some detail with a ruler on a chalkboard.
Getting a tad meaner
So, with the preliminary touching over with, I start to get down to business by dropping an axe kick down hard, heel first, on ryan’s stomach. The air just blew right out of him…
Meaner still...
Amazing thing, a penis. I’d stood on his dick initially and felt it pointing into the sole of my foot like a table leg, but no sooner had I come around and kicked him in the stomach than all the blood ran out of his penis about as fast as all the air escaped his lungs… But once I set my foot onto the shaft of his shrinking dick, I felt it twitch twice and stand erect again, like wilted flow standing back up after a rainfall. You have to admire the kid… Now right about here, I’m not pressing my foot on his balls at all, just pinning his dick against his stomach with my foot.
Back to gentle...
I decided that rather than wreck his erection outright by kicking his balls, I’d let him sustain it. I decide I don’t want to look at his silly brown face any long and push it to the side against the hardwood floor.
Back up on his dick
I get back up on his chest and decide to see how his dick is doing by stepping on it again. Notice how ryan’s face automatically reverts to face-up? I decide that’s an invitation to good to pass up.
Taste
I leave one foot on his belly and put the other his collarbone, heel pressed down, foot bridging across to his chin, and toes curling over into his lips and parting them. He got the idea and began to give the tips of my toes polite little kisses as short, rapid exhalations ticked them.
That’s it for now, doormats, but I’ll be back to conclude this session very soon. It was a good one! The entire clip, including material you haven’t seen photos of, is here.

10 Best Apps like Instagram
Apps
No matter how much you deny, once in every half an hour, you cannot survive without scrolling on Instagram. These apps like Instagram are like the mandatory part of our day to day schedule. Be it someone’s personal pictures or celebrity gossip, Instagram is like your best friend to reveal it all.
10 Best Apps like Instagram
Well, there are more such media sharing apps which has a lot to tell you only if you are gonna give them a try. So, it is the time to acquire all the juicy gossips from around the web through these apps and make your weekend even more lit with them.
1. Flickr
I am sure Flickr would have already left its impact on you in form of operating as a website. But now it is the time to access it in form of a much simpler and easier platform which is the mobile application of it. From uploading your photos to accessing the ones posted by others, it is quite simple on Flickr.
This is why I decided to list it in the category of apps like Instagram on top. Flickr even has additional feature of editing your photos on this platform just like Instagram offers.
Flickr provides you 1000GB of space to save and share your pictures and I think it is perfectly enough even if you are world famous celebrity. From photos to videos, you can easily store them in Flickr camera roll.
The filers associated with Flickr makes it even more fun for the users like cropping, editing, filters and many more. You can join millions of groups on this app and there are like billions of photos posted on this platform every day so you have the perfect place to explore the best media from around the world.
2. Snapchat
Snapchat is hands down one of the best apps for android as well as for iOS users too and it is even my favorite too. The app has so much to offer that it literally puts other apps to shame. Snapchat is a popular IM and media sharing app which is mostly preferred by those people who are concerned about their privacy.
What makes Snapchat the safest app in the world? Well, this is the fact that all the texts and media files shared by Snapchat are auto-destructible.
This means once the user has seen it, they automatically gets vanished which means people are left with no trace to pin point you or screenshot your conversation after some time. You can also put the videos or photos as your story too just like Instagram.
There are various features of Snapchat which makes it quite similar to the other apps like Instagram. You also get cool filters to apply while clicking pictures along with editing support too. As a whole, Snapchat is really a wonderful media sharing app.
3. Imgur
Be it cute images or fun games, you get to it all on Imgur. Earlier people were crazy about surfing all the time on its website and once the app got launched it made the process even simpler for the users. This is quite a fun option to be included in the list of apps like Instagram.
Just like Instagram the prime function of Imgur is to share media files to your friends and people added to your Imgur account.
Rather than videos, Imgur focuses on GIFs more as they are short and fun. You can even go for various categories of images and GIFs like hiking, cosplay, cats, anime, wtf moments etc. The range is so wide and rich that you will get tired with scrolling.
There are like millions of people active on Imgur in fact at some point you are going to find it more popular than Instagram itself. Be it any meme or crazy/viral image you are going to find it here before anywhere else. This makes it a fun and really popular photo sharing platform.
4. We Heart It
We Heart It is counted as one of the most productive photo sharing apps like Instagram and the reasons you will get to know when you will try it out. The app is way more organized than any other apps in this list and this is why I really liked this one.
We Heart It or WHI is a very prominent source of reaching to some amazing photos in the categories like travel, food, makeup, fitness, art, fashion, quotes and many more.
And the images found here are actually quite professional ones so if you are running a blog then you must install this app for perfect pictures. The process offered on this app is simple, you need to heart (like) the picture, collect it in your canvas and simply share what you love.
Although the prime features of this app are free but there are still some in-app purchases available for the upgrades in it. However, I think the app is worth including in the list of apps like Instagram and is quite versatile in its content of photos as well as videos.
5. Muzy
Muzy is a wonderful as well as free to use app whose main and single most purpose is to help people share images and collages on this platform. The app has more than 20 million registered users on it and this is indeed one of the most creative platform and apps like Instagram.
What I liked the most about Muzy is its interconnecting feature. This means that you can directly share photos from Muzy to other platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc.
You have the feature to not only share your media files but to also edit them and make them turn into something more creative. And apart from media sharing you can also post text status here too. This means the app is quite versatile than Instagram itself.
The great thing is that Muzy is absolutely free to use and does not contain any in-app purchases too. In fact, it provides you unlimited space to store your photos too. However, like Instagram it does not allow you to share videos and is restricted to sharing photos and collages only.
6. Flipagram
Flipagram is one of the most unique Instagram like apps and the reason is that it is entirely dedicated to videos only. This is the simplest video making app through which you just need to put together your stuff and through the tools provided, you can literally turn them into a neatly made video.
Share what you truly like and Flipagram is one app which can turn even the dull moments into fun with its filters and music options.
As Instagram is entirely dedicated to mostly images, I think people should really become a bit of creative by using Flipagram. They have millions of tracks in their library along with wonderful effects to help the users out here.
Well, of course, there are some in-app purchases for better features but Flipagram has a lot to offer in the free version itself. So, once you have created videos through it, you have the option to share them directly to same or other platforms making it one of the most advanced apps like Instagram.
7. Path
I found to Path to be more like Facebook rather than other apps like Instagram but there are some recurring features which makes it perfect for this category. This is a simple and quite an interesting platform to capture and share whatever you want on it.
Now you can easily share the best moments of your life with a little touch ups and editing to make the raw things better than before.
In fact, media sharing is not the only thing which you can get done with the help of Path. There is even more which you can do through it. You can post about your check-ins in hotels, restaurants and other places through it too. And you can also share movies, songs, TV shows you are watching right now.
Your privacy is also maintained well on this app too. You can decide that who are going to watch your updates and who not by keeping your profile private. Although free as basic, Path also has some in-app purchases too.
8. Pinterest
Are you literally kidding me that you have no clue about Pinterest? Trust me, half of my life is running through the ideas curated from this app and this is surely one of the best Instagram like app for Android as well as iOS users too.
The Pinterest app is way simpler and easy to access than the site of it. The awesome categories of fashion, tech, DIY, wedding, beauty, creative, sports and many others keep the users hooked to it all the time.
And apart from all of it, you can easily search for whatever you want in this app and results are going to pop up in form of millions of images in front of you. Not only this, you can also post ideas and images of your own on this app as well.
Pinterest is surely one of the most creative and most used apps like Instagram in this list. From little things to creating something big, you can do it all through the images available on Pinterest.
9. Periscope
Another unique addition in the list of apps like Instagram is Periscope. Well, to be true it is way different than other apps which are listed under this category but at the same time it is quite fun to use this app. And the main purpose of using this app is to live broadcast yourself.
The app is all about live videos which is like getting to know different people from different part of the world in the real time.
Periscope is one of its kind of app and this is why it has more than 10 million users on its platform. The app is so cool and you can interact with people streaming live through comments and hearts on their broadcast. Well, at least this feature is exactly like Instagram.
And whenever you miss out on some live videos you can get to catch their highlights later on too. Isn’t it so much fun to have the whole app dedicated to only live videos? You can even share your live streams directly on other social media platform through this app.
10. VSCO
And the last one to complete this list of apps like Instagram is VSCO. The app is especially created for shooting the beautiful and significant moments of your life and capturing them forever. This is so simple to not only provide a glimpse of your life to others but to also discover something from their life too through VSCO.
You just need to make a VSCO profile to get started on this app and what follows next is a small digital world of your own with lots of media files.
VSCO makes one of the most interesting alternative Instagram apps in this list and with its editing and shooting tools it somehow manages to compete with Instagram too. You can follow the people you like on it and explore the world uploaded by them.
VSCO has more than 10 million users and it provides some really advanced camera tools too which makes it as interesting as Instagram.
Conclusion
Apart from these photos, videos and other media sharing apps like Instagram, you have a lot to check out if you will dig deep in Play Store and iTunes. Of course, Instagram tops the chart of being popular and most used media sharing apps but still other apps are also quite interesting to use.
You never know how many ideas you can get through these apps to make your life simpler and effortless. Be it celebs, DIY ideas, funny videos or anything else, these apps are surely going to provide it all to you and you just need to keep scrolling for this.

Tim Tebow, former football player and current brand/alleged baseball player, is hanging out with the Single-A Columbia fireflies before he inevitably goes on TV full-time. He’s done some productive baseball stuff with the Fireflies and might even get moved up at some point this season. Tebow is hitting .211 with an OPS of .635, which was higher before he went on an extended cold streak.
Which brings us to Tuesday night’s game against the Lakewood Blue Claws, when Tebow accidentally tossed a warm-up throw into a fan’s dick and balls. Here’s fan Doug Brustman’s account of things, via the New York Post:
“I hear this guy behind me yell, ‘Watch out,’” said Brustman. “And as he’s yelling, the ball comes right through the railing and hits me right in the nuts. It was a direct hit.” [...] “It was literally like a Seinfeld episode. The guy behind me shouts, ‘It was TEBOW,’” said Brustman. “It reminded me of his days with the Jets when he couldn’t complete a pass. This guy is so inaccurate, even with a baseball.”
Tebow works in mysterious ways, although he was kind enough to sign the ball for Brustman after he realized what he’d done.

VANCOUVER, Canada — Leading Canadian scholars, public servants, and civil society actors gathered here for a symposium at the University of British Columbia from 22 to 24 March to explore the meaning of building a "whole society" and the constructive role of religion in the secular, public sphere.
Organized by a national committee representing a cross-section of civil society organizations in Canada, including the Public Affairs Office of the Canadian Baha'i Community, the conference, titled "Our Whole Society: Bridging the Religious-Secular Divide", involved some 140 participants.
Speakers included: Andrew Bennett, Canada's Ambassador for Religious Freedom; Marie Wilson, a commissioner with Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; Doug White, Director of the Centre for Pre-Confederation Treaties and Reconciliation at the University of Vancouver Island; and Gerald Filson, Director of Public Affairs of the Baha'i Community of Canada and Chair of the Canadian Interfaith Conversation, among others.
Dr. Filson gave the following perspective on the insights gleaned from the conference: "Many spoke about the importance of giving greater space in society to the positive influence which the concepts and principles of religious thinking can provide, that freedom to believe is a necessary condition in secular societies even as we safeguard the gains in social harmony and the richness of culture which pluralism brings to modern societies."
"In the final analysis it is the love and fellowship and an attitude that others matter to each of us which will create the foundations of a society in which all members of the human family will be able to participate in the discourses that shape society," continued Dr. Filson.
This year's conference followed a similar event held in May 2013 at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Geoffrey Cameron, Principal Researcher for the Baha'i Community of Canada, and member of the conference's steering committee explained: "We began this initiative about four years ago, when a small group of people came together out of a shared concern to articulate more clearly the positive role of religion in Canada's public discourse."
"We held one conference and continued working with each other and a network of others," continued Mr. Cameron. He elaborated that their dialogue sought to generate greater understanding about how society could "reconcile religion, secularism and the common good".
The conference featured plenary sessions addressing several overarching themes: the proper role of religion in the public sphere; the merits and limits of secularism; the process of reconciliation between diverse peoples; how to define the common good in the context of religious pluralism; the scope and limits of religious freedom; and the role of youth in society.
Interspersed between these presentations were workshops where practitioners shared insights from experience.
"We need to move beyond the binary of religious versus secular, public versus private, faith versus reason, and concentrate instead on working together for the good of our whole society," stated the Reverend Karen Hamilton, the General Secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches, in the opening presentation.
Discussions on occasion explored the tension in secular societies between two aspects of religion's place in public life: on the one hand, secularism provides an approach to governance that includes basic rights to religious liberty for the individual; on the other, when taken too far, it can restrict the role of religious perspectives in public discourse.
Professor Paul Bramadat, one of Canada's leading scholars of religion, cautioned, "it is important to keep religious tools and concepts alive in public discourse and not lose their meaning through secular 'translation'."
However, Alia Hogben, director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, made the case that society needs criteria to assess the role of religion in public life: "Does this religion contribute to the common good? Does it serve the well-being of all? If so, then it should be admitted into public discourse" she said.
Professor John Stackhouse, a theologian at Regent College, posited that the diversity of religions in Canada requires every religion to re-examine its teachings in order to "excavate the grounds on which to live with others who are different".
Prof Stackhouse also highlighted the importance of religion's place in the web of social institutions.
"Part of building a whole society," he said, "is investing in 'intermediate organizations' between the individual and the state – such as religious groups and civil society." Religions, he explained, face pressures in the secular world because they present obstacles to consumerism.
One of the highlights of the event was a session with Dr. Andrew Bennett, Canada's Ambassador for Religious Freedom. Bennett described the relationship between the defence of religious freedom and the promotion of human dignity, which are essential to define a common life together.
"It is important for institutions in society to have the competence to engage with diverse religions," he said. "Religious literacy informs peoples' actions in society, and it is through open conversations with each other that we improve this literacy."
The conference also looked at the role that young people play in constructive social transformation. Speaking during a workshop on youth and the spirit of social change, Christine Boyle, Director of the NGO Spirited Social Change, noted that "many social movements led by youth reflect a spiritual longing to create a better world through selfless service."
Another speaker, Eric Farr from the Baha'i community, echoed these thoughts, stating that "many youth aspire for a vision of spiritual change – that is, a vision of a more unified and just society...We need to trust in the capacity of all and the longing of all to contribute to the well-being of the whole."
The closing address of the conference was given by Doug White, in a session titled "Recognizing our oneness: Reconciliation as the challenge of our time". Addressing this theme, Mr. White, a former Chief of Snuneymuxw First Nation, said that dialogue would need to move beyond many of the adversarial relationships which currently characterize Canadian society.
"Pitting yourselves against each other is not a pathway to reconciliation" he said. "We need an active and full discourse about the social change necessary to realize reconciliation in society. This can come either from great suffering or reaching out and seeking understanding between different people in society."
"(Reconciliation) demands a new mindset and orientation to ourselves, each other and with those around us. This is a spiritual, moral, and ethical challenge..."
Reflecting on the event, Mr. Cameron said, "We were very pleased with the quality of conversation at the conference, and the genuine excitement expressed at the ideas shared by other participants."
He explained that the conference is part of an ongoing "process of collective inquiry".
"It is collective because it is growing and expanding to include more people. And it is an inquiry because we are motivated and unified by the questions we ask, not the presumption that we have the correct answers."

Cobalt Phosphide Composite Encapsulated within N,P-Doped Carbon Nanotubes for Synergistic Oxygen Evolution.
Exploring highly efficient and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts such as transition-metal phosphides (TMPs) is critical to advancing renewable hydrogen fuel. TMP nanostructures typically involving binary or ternary TMPs tuned by cation or anion doping are suggested to be promising low-cost and durable OER catalysts. Herein, the preparation of CoP/CoP2 composite nanoparticles encapsulated within N,P-doped carbon nanotubes (CoP/CoP2 @NPCNTs) is demonstrated as a synergistic electrocatalyst for OER via the calcination of a CoAl-layered double hydroxide/melamine mixture and subsequent phosphorization. Facile visualization by scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with electron backscatter diffraction demonstrates the encapsulation of the CoP/CoP2 nanoparticles within the N,P-codoped CNTs. Electrocatalytic evaluation shows that the composite electrode requires a low overpotential of 300 mV for the OER at 10 mA cm-2 in a 1.0 m KOH solution and, in particular, exhibits an excellent long-term durability of ≈100 h, which is superior to that of the state-of-the-art RuO2 electrocatalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the synergistic effect of CoP and CoP2 can enhance the electrocatalytic performance. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the generated O2 molecules can readily diffuse out of the CNTs. Both the effects give rise to the observed OER enhancement.

The Entropy Wars
September 18, 2018
First the challenge, later the miracles:
Isn't it the worst? Thinking nothing's going to happen but the lurch and thud down the relative freedom path? Built up and carrying so many. Technological innovations and a costly heritage, taking more out of poverty than ever. Now the slipping and sliding down after decades of material blessing.
'What we are witnessing is the start of the entropy wars...' (Nomi Prins).
Is God the absent/distant one? Some suggest the meticulous controller, "so stop fussing and accept the direction". Others; 'the devil rules' and we should expect our lot. Judgment-on and fence down is the claim. Some even talk US economic revival and purge of the corrupt. "Any day now, Trump to start the tribunals...". The longer this goes on, the bigger the bubble and pop. Pending disappointment, devastating a few million sincere but suckered ones.
Most popular and Christian talk is to claim three words and one answer: The Last Days. Aka; Hang-on and give up expecting anything else. Eyes on post-this-life. Which happens to be the Nos. 1 philosophical slammer from New Atheism.
Can't see The Last Days and not think Keith Green, and at best, biblical right-on times and ways. Considering all our retrospective advantages of developing theological understanding and sound prophetic insight. Spitting bones out.
"Sound prophetic insight"? There be scarcity but some... just-about. Minus and plus. The rot, and yet here there, measured sense.
On what, and where be... The alive and loving one?
The Jesus People/Keith Green 70's times claimed a response. A What To Do. Nowadays, 'Last Days' means spectate and talk about Israel. Hate Islam. A lot. Kick the gay mafia. Bemoan the "rest of the church" and "if only like us...". Cult up and claim Orthodox. Bash the asking-for-it giddy Charismatics. Or, live in their sub-culture and misrepresent and exaggerate 'revival'.
Finally: Talk only local community. The last refuge.
What a mess eh? Here in the UK, the Anglican Church is falling over its liberal/evangelical self to act the twerps. Suck the party political line. Suck the word. Suck and up. C/o Bishop this and that.
-- gotta stop moaning here, get on the good news --
The last days began 2000 years ago. Today's Anti-Christ is A.I. etc. Was Nero when written about in the Book. Now we are at an 'opportune time'. The point of this yawn of a rant is we're called to Live UP to what's written, promised and prophetic. Available 'in Christ' for now and go to overcome, any and all, unwanted entropy.
Open the Bible. (The one China is well on the way to banning. Re-banning. Remember 1966 'till '76 when the smugglers were busy?).
The Bible and God are talking twaddle -or- here be the power and light? Enough. More than enough. Able to liberate and revive nations, or only for personal use and intercession's redundant?
Nowhere does it say what happens is going to be without the hope of God and creation. Perspectives and a renewed earth -- sure, but the call is for the reign of God to NOW come.
The only way to see it other ways is to add extra-biblical-times reinterpretations. Can be reverse-engineered to expose influences shifting the vision. Take the-alive out of it and this the greatest con going.
God is doing things and zillions and multitudes of moves. God is alive and at it. We need the faith to see it. Takes faith to live in this and not moan-moan-moan. Live low because the onslaught about wants We Give Up.
All the devil/s do is accuse and deceive. In the main. The dual ramming.
All we/ME gotta do is live in the pledged and promised provision.
Darn gets me and I wallow with that long face on. Gotta stop it. Be sound enough to see God is present and working and in a relationship.
Grubby post but they come as they do.
In some ways shows up where am not over should be.
Need God. Obviously not enough. And to receive in this is obviously all I need.

Impacts of aging and amyloid-β deposition on plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
Plasminogen activators (PAs), which convert plasminogen into the fibrinolytic protease plasmin, may initiate the degradation of amyloid-β (Aβ) to suppress the amyloid pathogenesis. In that way, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-mediated plasmin activation could maintain a low level of Aβ deposition to delay the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a previous study, we reported that tPA/plasmin proteolytic activity is attenuated throughout the brain during aging or with Aβ accumulation but clustered intense around the amyloid plaques in AD brain. The present study demonstrates that the altered proteolytic activity primarily results from the competition between the expressions of tPA and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in the brains of Tg2576 Aβ-transgenic mice, as revealed by immunohistochemistry and immunoblot assays. Compared with that in the brains of younger Tg2576 mice, tPA protein is generally reduced throughout the brain in older Tg2576 mice but elevated near amyloid plaques. In contrary, PAI-1 expression increases during aging or Aβ deposition with its clusters surrounding amyloid plaques. No significant alteration in the expression of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is detected. These results suggest reciprocal feedback influences between tPA, PAI-1 and Aβ during aging and amyloid pathogenesis in AD brain; tPA-mediated plasmin activity is declined throughout the brain causing Aβ deposition during aging, and the Aβ deposits locally attract the cluster of tPA and/or PAI-1 around their deposits to competitively determine tPA/plasmin-mediated Aβ proteolysis.

Q:
How to create a trade route?
I build a trader and click on it. The cities that I can trade with light up in green. But I can't figure out how to actually create the trade route. Right clicking on the destination green area doesn't work, nor does it work when I right click on the city name.
A:
You have to click on the city you chose, and then on the button on top of the possible trade routes:

We demonstrated previously that mammalian sex determination requires both GATA4 and FOG2 transcription regulators and relies on their direct interaction to assemble the functioning testis. Our recent data reveals that in gonadal development GATA4-FOG2 transcription complex acts to control the extracellular signaling in both sexes. This application describes the experimental plan designed to characterize the impact of the WNT/DKK signaling on sex determination and development of the female reproductive system. We have identified the Dkk1 gene as a target of GATA4-FOG2 repression in the developing ovary. The expression of Dkk1 was dramatically increased (~10 fold) in embryonic gonads with GATA4-FOG2 interaction loss. We also identified other genes that are no longer expressed or strongly down-regulated in the GATA4 or FOG2 (GATA4/FOG2) XX mutants. Several of these genes (e.g., Wnt4, follistatin (Fst) and Foxl2) are known to be required for normal female development, while other genes (e.g., Sp5, Sprr2d, Irx3 and Gng13) have been recently identified as sexually dimorphic by us and others. We also show that the tissue-specific ablation of the ?-catenin gene in the gonads disrupts female development while testis development in the absence of ?-catenin proceeds as normal. Control of ovarian development as well as the canonical Wnt/??-catenin pathway by the GATA4-FOG2 transcriptional complex presents a novel insight into the crosstalk of transcriptional regulation and extracellular signaling in ovarian development. Now, using available to us 1) Gata4floxed , 2) Fog2floxed and 3) Gata4floxed/ki mice we will delete Gata4 and Fog2 genes during embryogenesis with Sf1Cre to generate fetuses and neonatal animals with Gata4 gene loss, Fog2 gene loss and GATA4-FOG2 interaction loss, respectively. To determine the function for canonical ?-catenin signaling in ovarian development we will analyze mice with gonadal loss of ?-catenin and mice with a loss of the Lrp6 receptor required for canonical ?-catenin signaling. Finally, we will examine sexual development in a) Dkk1 null embryos and b) compound mutant Fog2-/-Dkk1-/-, GATA4ki/ki/Dkk1-/- and Wt1-Sox9/Dkk-/- embryos; and using the tetO-Dkk1 mouse strain we will over-express Dkk1 specifically in embryonic gonads to separate this event from other consequences of the Gata4/Fog2 loss. Analysis of these mouse mutants should provide a novel insight into the fundamental aspects of gonadal differentiation, somatic-germ cell interaction and germ cell differentiation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this project is to understand the early ovarian development in mice. This is relevant to human health as a genetic basis for the majority of human sex determination disorders remains poorly understood. Intersex and sex reversal syndromes often result in infertility and genital abnormalities together with long-term psychological trauma in affected sufferers. In addition, genes that function in the developing ovary are likely candidates for factors that affect the female germ line; when expressed abnormally, such genes can negatively affect the quality of eggs and the early embryos either in natural or in assisted reproduction.

Katrina, Katrina
If you get a chance to see Spike Lee's documentary "When the Levees Broke" about New Orleans, you might want to skip it. Just stick to the photo opportunities and speeches from President Bush with the CNN anchor in the bathroom. Just tell yourself you already understand this story. Heck, most Americans followed it closely as it was happening, with the exception of the officials at Homeland Security, FEMA, and the White House. It was fairly obvious to TV viewers that a storm that nearly filled the Gulf of Mexico could present some challenges. We knew what was going on, rght? Of course, our criminally negligent President was on brush duty at the ranch, and though he had the information he needed, it didn't set in, or perhaps he just didn't care. Who knows what was going on in his "brain", but what happened in New Orleans was there for the world to see, live on television. Eventually, as the famous story goes, aides made a special DVD presentation to try and get through to the leader of the free world. It was the defining moment of the Bush administration here at home. You had a group that exists to spin and shape events through the media, with little interest or ability in governing, and it finally met up with something that could really spin. Katrina peeled back the fake facade of this presidency like it was a thin tin roof, exposing the incompetence for all to see. There is a certain strange karmic justice in all this. The White House has been the most deceitful, soulless, manipulative place in America lately, so why not have it exposed by one of the most genuinely soulful places on earth? New Orleans paid a horrible price, but at least it accomplished one thing: It called bullshit on this whole jaded group of mediocre phonies who are pretending to govern this country. This was their moment to show America their leadership chops and it took them a bad 4 or 5 days after Katrina hit, even to realize the problem. One CNN anchor in New Orleans said she had a 26-year-old production assistant put together an intel folder, and it was much better than the intel of the federal government. This was an unbelievable disgrace and a mind-boggling display of criminal-level screwing up. And please don't write in to try and spin this as the failings of a mayor and a governor. When a hurricane hit New Orleans during the Johnson administration, he was down there with a flashlight telling the people their President was with them on the ground and that he cared. Bush flew over in his airplane, never even beginning to engage until the White House finally realized how badly federal officials were being hurt. Such a genuine concern. Then it was off to New Orleans with the temporary lights and the speeches. Really, don't supporters get tired of defending this knuckle-head? Oh well. The reason you might want to skip Spike Lee's film is that it vividly brings the consequences of the President's inaction home. You hear from individuals who survived the hurricane only to lose family days later. They watched mothers, neighbors, etc... die slow agonizing deaths waiting for help. One man describes making it to the convention center after the storm and then slowly watching his mother die in front of him over the course of several days. Katrina is going to be a mark of shame for this country for as long as America is around. It was an opportunity to show the world how good we are at handling a crisis. How good we are to each other. Instead we left our fellow citizens to die slow deaths in a major city in the United States for want of a drink of water and some food, while the President cleared brush on his ranch and played air guitar at a political rally. The same CNN anchor said she realized how bad it really was when, after the convention center had finally been evacuated, she did a live remote from outside. There was a body lying there on the sidewalk. Two days later they came back. The body was still there. We left these people to die and then we left their bodies to rot. And a year later, many of the survivors still need basic help. Yes, this Spike Lee film is something you should watch. It's certainly going to be there for future generations to see. Still I'd advise you to skip it. It's not exactly your feel-good hit of the year.

Q:
Need help in fixing prime numbers program
I am newbie to C++ and I am trying to make a console program that lists prime numbers.I am having problem in getting expected results as it stops after showing
2 is a prime number
which is wrong and list is not complete.PLease review my code and help me fix it.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num,divi,count=0;
for(num=0;num<10;num++)
{
for(divi=1;divi<=num;divi++)
{
if(num%divi==0)
{
count++;
}
if(count==2){
cout<<num<<"is a prime number"<<endl;
}
}
}
}
A:
You have to initialize count each time when a new number is checked. And the second if statement has to be placed outside the inner loop.
For example
for(num=0;num<10;num++)
{
count = 0;
for(divi=1;divi<=num;divi++)
{
if(num%divi==0){count++;}
}
if(count==2){cout<<num<<"is a prime number"<<endl;}
}
Take into account that 2 is a prime number.
Also it is not a good idea to declare variables in a declarative region where they are not used. I would write the program like
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
const int N = 10;
for ( int num = 0; num < N; num++ )
{
int count = 0;
for ( int div = 1; div <= num; div++ )
{
count += num % div == 0;
}
if ( count == 2 ) std::cout << num << " is a prime number" << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
Or instead of
count += num % div == 0;
you could write as in your original program
if ( num % div == 0 ) ++count;
