# Managing Data in Containers
So far we've been introduced to some [basic Docker
concepts](/userguide/usingdocker/), seen how to work with [Docker
images](/userguide/dockerimages/) as well as learned about [networking
and links between containers](/userguide/dockerlinks/). In this section
we're going to discuss how you can manage data inside and between your
Docker containers.
We're going to look at the two primary ways you can manage data in
Docker.
* Data volumes, and
* Data volume containers.
## Data volumes
A *data volume* is a specially-designated directory within one or more
containers that bypasses the [*Union File
System*](/terms/layer/#union-file-system) to provide several useful features for
persistent or shared data:
- Volumes are initialized when a container is created
- Data volumes can be shared and reused between containers
- Changes to a data volume are made directly
- Changes to a data volume will not be included when you update an image
- Volumes persist until no containers use them
### Adding a data volume
You can add a data volume to a container using the `-v` flag with the
`docker create` and `docker run` command. You can use the `-v` multiple times
to mount multiple data volumes. Let's mount a single volume now in our web
application container.
$ sudo docker run -d -P --name web -v /webapp training/webapp python app.py
This will create a new volume inside a container at `/webapp`.
> **Note:**
> You can also use the `VOLUME` instruction in a `Dockerfile` to add one or
> more new volumes to any container created from that image.
### Mount a Host Directory as a Data Volume
In addition to creating a volume using the `-v` flag you can also mount a
directory from your Docker daemon's host into a container.
> **Note:**
> If you are using Boot2Docker, your Docker daemon only has limited access to
> your OSX/Windows filesystem. Boot2Docker tries to auto-share your `/Users`
> (OSX) or `C:\Users` (Windows) directory - and so you can mount files or directories
> using `docker run -v /Users/<path>:/<container path> ...` (OSX) or
> `docker run -v /c/Users/<path>:/<container path ...` (Windows). All other paths
> come from the Boot2Docker virtual machine's filesystem.
$ sudo docker run -d -P --name web -v /src/webapp:/opt/webapp training/webapp python app.py
This will mount the host directory, `/src/webapp`, into the container at
`/opt/webapp`.
> **Note:**
> If the path `/opt/webapp` already exists inside the container's image, its
> contents will be replaced by the contents of `/src/webapp` on the host to stay
> consistent with the expected behavior of `mount`
This is very useful for testing, for example we can
mount our source code inside the container and see our application at work as
we change the source code. The directory on the host must be specified as an
absolute path and if the directory doesn't exist Docker will automatically
create it for you.
> **Note:**
> This is not available from a `Dockerfile` due to the portability
> and sharing purpose of built images. The host directory is, by its nature,
> host-dependent, so a host directory specified in a `Dockerfile` probably
> wouldn't work on all hosts.
Docker defaults to a read-write volume but we can also mount a directory
read-only.
$ sudo docker run -d -P --name web -v /src/webapp:/opt/webapp:ro training/webapp python app.py
Here we've mounted the same `/src/webapp` directory but we've added the `ro`
option to specify that the mount should be read-only.
### Mount a Host File as a Data Volume
The `-v` flag can also be used to mount a single file - instead of *just*
directories - from the host machine.
$ sudo docker run --rm -it -v ~/.bash_history:/.bash_history ubuntu /bin/bash
This will drop you into a bash shell in a new container, you will have your bash
history from the host and when you exit the container, the host will have the
history of the commands typed while in the container.
> **Note:**
> Many tools used to edit files including `vi` and `sed --in-place` may result
> in an inode change. Since Docker v1.1.0, this will produce an error such as
> "*sed: cannot rename ./sedKdJ9Dy: Device or resource busy*". In the case where
> you want to edit the mounted file, it is often easiest to instead mount the
> parent directory.
## Creating and mounting a Data Volume Container
If you have some persistent data that you want to share between
containers, or want to use from non-persistent containers, it's best to
create a named Data Volume Container, and then to mount the data from
it.
Let's create a new named container with a volume to share.
While this container doesn't run an application, it reuses the `training/postgres`
image so that all containers are using layers in common, saving disk space.
$ sudo docker create -v /dbdata --name dbdata training/postgres
You can then use the `--volumes-from` flag to mount the `/dbdata` volume in another container.
$ sudo docker run -d --volumes-from dbdata --name db1 training/postgres
And another:
$ sudo docker run -d --volumes-from dbdata --name db2 training/postgres
You can use multiple `--volumes-from` parameters to bring together multiple data
volumes from multiple containers.
You can also extend the chain by mounting the volume that came from the
`dbdata` container in yet another container via the `db1` or `db2` containers.
$ sudo docker run -d --name db3 --volumes-from db1 training/postgres
If you remove containers that mount volumes, including the initial `dbdata`
container, or the subsequent containers `db1` and `db2`, the volumes will not
be deleted. To delete the volume from disk, you must explicitly call
`docker rm -v` against the last container with a reference to the volume. This
allows you to upgrade, or effectively migrate data volumes between containers.
## Backup, restore, or migrate data volumes
Another useful function we can perform with volumes is use them for
backups, restores or migrations. We do this by using the
`--volumes-from` flag to create a new container that mounts that volume,
like so:
$ sudo docker run --volumes-from dbdata -v $(pwd):/backup ubuntu tar cvf /backup/backup.tar /dbdata
Here we've launched a new container and mounted the volume from the
`dbdata` container. We've then mounted a local host directory as
`/backup`. Finally, we've passed a command that uses `tar` to backup the
contents of the `dbdata` volume to a `backup.tar` file inside our
`/backup` directory. When the command completes and the container stops
we'll be left with a backup of our `dbdata` volume.
You could then restore it to the same container, or another that you've made
elsewhere. Create a new container.
$ sudo docker run -v /dbdata --name dbdata2 ubuntu /bin/bash
Then un-tar the backup file in the new container's data volume.
$ sudo docker run --volumes-from dbdata2 -v $(pwd):/backup busybox tar xvf /backup/backup.tar
You can use the techniques above to automate backup, migration and
restore testing using your preferred tools.
# Next steps
Now we've learned a bit more about how to use Docker we're going to see how to
combine Docker with the services available on
[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) including Automated Builds and private
repositories.

DICK Wolf, who made a franchise out of "Law & Order," has a second franchise in the works: Killing off disgraced publisher, Judith Regan.
Friday night will mark the second time in as many years that a Judith-like "high-profile publisher" character is brutally murdered. And the second time a suspect is a man she first played around with and then played for a fool.
First time "L&O" killed her off in 2005, it was on Michael Imperioli's first episode on the series called "Publish and Perish," in which both a porn actress ala Jenna Jameson (who was a real-life Regan "author"), and a Judith Regan-like high profile publisher are murdered.
Who done it that time? Bernie Kerik - or the Kerik-like "ambitious and powerful police commissioner nominated for the nation's top security post."
But back then Wolf didn't know that the publisher's high profile love affair with the very-married Kerik and the publication of Jameson's scandalous book wouldn't be the worst of the sludge to be drudged from the slush pile of Regan's life. There was the O.J. book yet to come.
On Friday night's episode, "Murder Book," "L&O" kills off the Regan character again - but this time because of a book in which ex-athlete (Bobby Cannavale) postulates how he would have killed his ex-wife if he had killed his ex-wife, which of course he didn't.
When the Regan-type is found slain with her blood and guts smeared around the hallway of her apartment building, there are many suspects. It's a matter of eliminating everyone who could have wanted her dead. That of course means everyone who's ever worked for her, slept with her or, well, basically ever known her.
Was it JP Lang, the ex-athlete and murderer of his wife? Was it Gerald Stockwell, (Christopher Denham), the ghost writer of Lang's tell-nothing? Was it her assistant whom she treated like a piece of dog poop on the sole of her Manolo's? Or was it a collective effort by everyone in the world?
Everyone, it seems, has a reason to knock her off.
Lang says they had a strictly sexual relationship until she wanted to move it to the level of a relationship-relationship. "She wanted us to go to St. Bart's together," he sneers. "Can you imagine being alone on an island with that bitch?"
The ghost writer has a reason to want her dead because she rejected his draft and canned him from the book. Well, like I said, everyone has a reason, but who really has a motive?
Good stuff. Lots o' fun - unless of course you are Judith Regan, in which case you've got a reason and a motive to kill - the writers - of "Law & Order" who cut you no slack lady. No slack at all.

It's a day of firsts! Well, maybe only a couple of firsts but they sure seem big to me. I am entering my very first sketch challenge AND I've embossed a card for the first time! Woohoo!!! I've been lurking in the background and enjoying what other stampers have entered for a while. Today I'm steppin' out of the shadows! Aren't you proud of me?
The Saturday Sketch Challenge over at the Stamping 411 blog looked like so much fun that I just *had* to step up and take part.
I just got a heat embossing tool and I was DYING to try it out. Therefore, a darker paper seemed like a good idea. While looking through my stash I came across some Raspberry Tart DSP and it all clicked. At that point, I was on a mission! I threw in some Regal Rose and Rose Red, grabbed my much loved punches and the Polka Dot Punches set... tossed in a dash of Sweet Serendipity and voila! A card was born :)

4 Enable The root Account
After the reboot you can login with your previously created username (e.g. administrator). Because we must run all the steps from this tutorial as root user, we must enable the root account now.
Run
sudo passwd root
and give root a password. Afterwards we become root by running
su
5 Install The SSH Server
Ubuntu does not install OpenSSH by default, therefore we do it now. Run
apt-get install ssh openssh-server
You will be prompted to insert the installation CD again.
6 Configure The Network
Because the Ubuntu installer has configured our system to get its network settings via DHCP, we have to change that now because a server should have a static IP address. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):
From now on you can use an SSH client such as PuTTY and connect from your workstation to your Ubuntu Feisty Fawn server and follow the remaining steps from this tutorial.

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list And Update Your Linux Installation
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Comment out or remove the installation CD from the file and make sure that the universe and multiverse repositories are enabled. It should look like this:
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security multiverse
Then run
apt-get update
to update the apt package database and
apt-get upgrade
to install the latest updates (if there are any).
8 Change The Default Shell
/bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash, however we need /bin/bash, not /bin/dash. Therefore we do this:
Comments
Instead of rm -f /bin/sh ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh which leaves no /bin/sh for a few moments. Anything that needs /bin/sh to exist that tries to run before it's recreated will have big trouble. This is a bad habit to get into, especially when you're working with symlinks to libraries. Instead, do ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh and it's all done in a single command which guarantees that there isn't even a nanosecond during which there is no /bin/sh.

Garden Eels live in the sand. They are long, skinny, active and fascinating, as well as ubiquitous at our current spot near Isla Cerralvo. We dropped our anchor here and then looked into the water to find thousands of Garden Eels waving gently back and forth on the sandy bottom below Magic.
Of course, we soon went scuba diving under the boat to get a closer look. I mean, these eels were everywhere, how hard would it be to see them?
We descended about 20 feet. The water was clear and calm. Webs of light danced on the bottom just like a swimming pool. But there were no eels. This was very strange. Why would they be everywhere else but not right here? I swam toward a large group, waving gently in the water. When I got there they were gone.
“Oh wait, there’s a bunch of them over there”, I thought, and swam in the other direction. When I got closer every single one of them slowly withdrew into the sand. When I arrived all I saw was a field of dime sized, empty holes.
We lay on the sand at the bottom, waiting for them to end the tease and finally show themselves. We waited several minutes. Some eels were braver than others, and tiny heads began to emerge. They were still at least 6 feet away. By crawling on my hands I was able to get a little closer, but they soon retreated. Any fin kicks would send them right back into the sand immediately.
We surfaced and a couple minutes later saw them again waving wildly all around the boat, back out of their holes again, celebrating that we were gone.
Determined to get a close look at these little teases of the sea, Brian set up our GoPro camera with a scuba weight and pointed it right at one of the little holes under the boat. He got all the photos you see here, plus a great video of a puffer fish surprising the eels! Check it out here:

Wx Watch: The whys of wind
Facing fear of the windsock
March 1, 2012
ByThomas A. Horne
Wind activity on January 17, 2012, as analyzed by several sources. The surface analysis chart (top left) shows a strong cold front moving through the Ohio Valley, with a squall line in southern Ohio/central Kentucky. A three-hour pressure tendency chart (top right) indicates just how fast pressure is falling ahead of the cold front, and rising behind it. As you might guess, airmets for strong surface winds (above left) are parked the length of the front. And high-wind advisories (above right) are in effect as the front moves east.
The airport is quiet. No taxiing, no runups, no one in the pattern, no one on the radio. And the weather is good VFR.
What's going on? Chances are, a look at the windsock will give the answer. Sure enough, it’s sticking straight out and switching direction rapidly with strong, gusty winds. These kinds of winds are the bane of the experienced and the neophyte pilot alike, because they can mean a lot of work during takeoffs and landings—and promise huge servings of turbulence. There are risks, too. Just ask insurance companies.
That time of year
We’re conditioned to think of March as the windiest time of year, but that’s an overgeneralization. Strong surface winds happen at all times of year, for any number of reasons. But, yes, the onset of spring means that bigger, warmer air masses begin to creep northward, chasing winter’s cold back to Canada.
What does this have to do with rowdy surface winds? It helps to understand that wind is a direct result of temperature differences. No matter the time of year or your location, if there’s a zone where colder and warmer air masses come together, you’ve got wind.
Temperature as pressure
Let’s imagine the air mass in the warm sector of a classic frontal complex, and then compare it to the colder air in an air mass advancing from the west as the leading edge of a cold front. Where the warm air lives, air molecules are farther apart, the air is less dense, and so the warm layer is relatively “thick” in a vertical sense. Meanwhile, in a cold air mass, the air is denser and therefore less thick.
How thick is thick? You can check this out on constant pressure charts. That’s where you can see the heights of various surfaces of similar pressure. For example, if you were to draw a line on an 850-millibar (this corresponds to approximately 5,000 feet msl) chart from a warm sector, across a cold front, and into the cold air behind the front you might see the thicknesses of that pressure surface can range from 1,500 meters in the warm air to, say, 1,200 meters behind the front. What we’re looking at are the height variations of a pressure surface aloft—generated by a temperature gradient.
Here’s the take-away: The height/temperature variations create a pressure gradient, and a corresponding pressure gradient force. And you know what that means: Air begins to move from higher pressure to lower pressure, wind speeds pick up and change direction according to the Coriolis force, and lows and fronts are born. So temperature gradients aloft and at the surface create the steep pressure drops that we usually associate with a strong frontal passage’s high winds. The greater the temperature gradients, the greater the pressure gradients, and the stronger the winds.
Isobars
Closely spaced isobars on surface analysis charts give a great idea of just how comparatively strong surface winds may be. The tighter the gradient between isobars, the stronger the wind. But there are some other charts that can help visualize the situation. Pressure tendency charts indicate how much the surface pressure has changed over the past three hours. Streamline analysis charts let us see how, and where, wind directions change. This can all be helpful when scouting out airports with runways more favorably aligned into the wind.
Of course, a check of METARs and TAFs for mention of strong surface winds is also in order. So is a look at airmets for turbulence (or mention of LLWS, or low-level wind shear), and area forecasts, to see if the infamous “WIND” (this means sustained surface winds or gusts of 20 knots or more) notation is posted. Typically, this warning appears in anticipation of the rowdy surface winds that so often follow a cold frontal passage.
Mixing down
Ever notice how a nice VFR day may dawn with little or no surface wind, but by midday winds sometimes reach a not-so-nice, gale level? (Definition: winds of 28 to 47 knots.) Then, as the sun sets, the winds magically die down. This behavior is a function of the mixing of air in the lowest levels of the atmosphere.
At night, the winds aloft continue moving at their usual pace. But without any surface heating from the sun, surface winds drop off because there are no rising air parcels. But by late morning, the surface heats up a bit, which allows this warmer air to reach the 3,000- to 5,000-foot-agl level. This, plus the turbulence created at the boundary between the faster-moving winds aloft and the calmer surface winds, creates eddies that mix the winds aloft and send them downwards. The result? Winds pick up during the day.
For a few days after a cold frontal passage, or on days when a large high pressure system prevails, you can generally rely on a rule of thumb to predict the peak strength of surface winds. It’s a simple rule, based on the air-mixing phenomenon. Just look at the winds aloft at 3,000 to 5,000 feet agl. By midmorning those winds will mix down to the surface. So if the winds aloft are 30 knots, by 11 a.m. they’ll be at ground level. At day’s end, those winds aloft will “decouple” from the quieter air nearer the surface and the pattern will become a tamer place.
Hands and feet
So much for theory. Remember the tried-and-true piloting skills necessary for landing and taking off in nasty surface winds? Here’s a quick review of a few:
For a high-wind takeoff, it’s best to lift off firmly so that any downdrafts don’t let you settle back to the runway. For the same reason, leave the gear down in retractable-gear airplanes until you’re safely above the runway.
On final, use your normal approach speed, but add half the gust factor if winds are gusting. For example, if winds are 15 gusting to 25, then add half the difference (five knots) to your normal approach speed.
Don’t fly high-wind approaches with too much speed; it will take longer to bleed off lift and airspeed, you’ll be exposed to crosswinds for a longer period of time, and be subject to ballooning with the excess lift caused by any gusts.
Consider using partial flaps when the winds are high. In strong winds, full flaps make for more lift at slower airspeeds when in ground effect, something you don’t need when you’re trying to touch down in style.
The wing-down/opposite rudder method for crosswind touchdowns seems to work the best for most airplanes. This means lowering the upwind wing so as to stop any sideways drift, and at the same time applying opposite rudder to keep the airplane’s longitudinal axis aligned with the runway centerline. Sure, you hear some pilots advocate crabbing all the way down final, then making a quick transition to the wing-down method the moment before the upwind tire meets the runway. It’s possible, but your timing must be impeccable lest you swerve on the runway—or worse.

Website of the month: BLIPmap UniViewer
So you don’t buy the 5,000-foot predictor of surface winds? Want to know how fast any thermal updrafts will be? Or wonder where updraft heights will peak? If wind behavior near the surface gets your juices flowing, check out the BLIPmap UniViewer online.
This site is a favorite with sailplane pilots because it deals so heavily in boundary-layer dynamics—especially things like cloud bases, wind speeds, and updraft velocities. But this same information helps all pilots understand surface winds better. Yes, you have to register to use this interactive site, but it's free.

Cougar JV’s stumble against Spartans
The Cougar junior varsity basketball squad saw their six game winning streak come to an end Friday night, dropping their contest against Salem by a final score of 72-51.
The loss drops Pulaski to 9-4 on the season.
The junior Cougars seemed to struggle much of the game against a stingy Salem defense, but missed shots, missed free throws, and turnovers cost them the game in the end.
The Cougars played a very tough first half, trailing 10-9 at the end of the first quarter and 26-22 at the halftime break. Several Cougars found themselves in foul trouble early as well.
Salem outscored Pulaski 21-15 in the third quarter to take a 47-37 lead into the start of the final quarter. Bradley Church and then Elliot Brewster fouled out midway through the fourth, taking a big part of the Cougar offensive and defensive punch away.
Pulaski continued to work hard, but in the end the Spartans outscored the Cougars 25-14 to earn the 72-51 win.

Gates: U.S. Open to Staying in Iraq if Iraq Asks
U.S. soldiers fold a flag during a transfer of command ceremony for the Kalsu Forward Operating Base, south of Baghdad, on September 30, 2010 from the 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division to 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR).
The United States is open to the idea of keeping troops in Iraq past a deadline to leave next year if Iraq asks for it, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday.
"We'll stand by," Gates said. "We're ready to have that discussion if and when they want to raise it with us."
Gates urged Iraq's squabbling political groups to reconcile after eight months of deadlock. Any request to extend the U.S. military presence in Iraq would have to come from a functioning Iraqi government. It would amend the current agreement under which U.S. troops must leave by the end of 2011.
"That initiative clearly needs to come from the Iraqis; we are open to discussing it," Gates said.
U.S. and Iraqi officials have said for months they expect Iraqi leaders to eventually ask for an extension of the military agreement with the U.S., but the political impasse has put the idea on hold.
A spike in violence in Iraq over the past two weeks has underscored the continued potency of al Qaeda and other Sunni extremists.
"We have been pretty clear to the Iraqis that what we seek, and hope they will come together on, is an inclusive government that represents all of the major elements of Iraqi society and in a nonsectarian way," Gates said. "It is our hope that that is the direction they are moving in."
He spoke following a meeting with Malaysian Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Leaders of Iraq's major political blocs met Monday for the first time since parliamentary elections in March. The 90-minute televised session, the start of three days of talks, did not lead to a breakthrough.
The battle is largely a contest between the Iranian-favored coalition of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and followers of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr against a Sunni-backed secular coalition led by former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
At stake is whether Iraq has an inclusive government of both the majority Shiites and the minority Sunnis, or a Shiite-dominated government with the Sunnis largely in opposition - a recipe that many worry will turn the country back to the sectarian violence of a few years ago.
Al-Maliki's bloc won 89 seats in the March 7 election, compared with 91 for Allawi's coalition; neither side won the majority of seats needed to govern.
Gates said he has not spoken directly to any of the political leaders, but other U.S. officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, have been heavily engaged.
Gates predicted a new government would need some time before asking the U.S. to extend the troop plan.
Although the 2011 deadline was a point of pride for Iraq after years of U.S. military occupation, it does not leave much time for the U.S. to train Iraq's fledgling air force. Iraq also wants more U.S. help to protect its borders.By AP National Security Writer Anne Gearan

You're telling me that this prince among men owns a car that needs refueling? Just like us mere mortals?

You're right. Please, Gazette, tell us what side the filler cap is on so I can drill a hole in the side of my car, if necessary, in the hope that if I fill my car on the same side I may too, one day, become a man of vast unearned wealth stopping on such great roads as the A12.

I believe that the entrance to this garage and indeed the A12 in its vicinity, should be painted gold as a way to properly mark this esteemed visit.

Just because one of the bosses goes into a petrol station for food and fuel, it does not justify a media report, in fact it is a security risk that the paper is displaying his whereabouts.

Swingin' in the Rain
Things have gotten better since my last post. They might have gotten worse first though. That night I finally got Maggie to sleep, and left Amos to fall asleep on his own. A few minutes later, I heard Amos and MAGGIE playing! He woke her up. I sent him right to timeout. Where I left him. Until he fell asleep. Oops. It actually didn't take that long, which makes me conclude that I am right, they are tired, they just won't quit monkeying around.
The next day we had another (and thankfully final) failed attempt at the park. It was sunny when we left our building, but by the time we got there, an arctic rain was falling. It wasn't the nice Seattle mist either, it was real rain. Not able to bear the thought of going back to the apartment without getting some energy out, we stayed and tried to play in it. It was freezing and we were all soaked. Luckily Amos came up with a way to make it more manageable:
Since that day we have had three WONDERFUL days at the park. One day I even managed to get Wardie the teensiest bit of a sunburn.
Yesterday Amos asked me if he could bring a bunch of paper airplanes to the park for his friends. Sure, why not? The minute we got to the park Amos ran up to a boy just his age and said,
"Hi, will you be my friend?"
while thrusting a paper airplane in his face. Awesome. The boy was playing with his dad, so he looked to him for approval, and when his dad nodded, the boys were off. They played and played. The boy had a baseball with him, and he and Amos found a stick and soon had their own little sandlot going. Inevitably, the ball hit Amos square in the face and he came running over with blood pouring out of his nose.
We got him all cleaned up, assessed that there wasn't really any damage, and then he declared:
"It's ok, we are still friends!"
Sure enough. Thankfully, after that they switched to soccer.
Eventually the boy had to go, and Amos spent the rest of our park time finding more friends to bestow his paper airplanes on.
One thing I am noticing is that no one seems to come out if it's raining. My kids did not get that memo. (Arctic) rain or shine, they are ready to play.

pantry
I redid my pantry with elfa a few years ago it was the best solution. Before I had custom shelves from the builder of my home. Since elfa I have more space to store items and a full extra shelf . I had 5 and now I have 6 levels.

Platinum Pantry
We had used Elfa systems in the past for our closets in our bedrooms but never used them for our pantry. I always thought the look of more custom shelving or period inspired shelving would be more attractive. I couldn't have been more wrong! When designing our new home to have a large walk in pantry our budget was an issue and we couldn't swing the custom look. Knowing how much I liked the Elfa in our bedroom closets I decided to try it our in our pantry. I will never go back to custom again! The versatility and strength of these units are unparalleled. Quick and easy to install ourselves, but my husband is a contractor, and when friends see me waltz into my pantry they are beyond envious. Will only ever do Elfa from here out.

Organization Heaven!
We were in our first Container Store last weekend and was in Organization heaven! We came home and got online with one of your online experts and had a pantry designed and we picked it up and installed it the next weekend. We cannot say enough about how happy we are with the results. Your experts were so helpful and informative, the pickup process was a breeze, and the installation of the Elfa system was so easy! I cannot believe how much more usable space I have now. I am actually looking for more things to put in it now. We also bought some pull out systems for under our vanity and kitchen sink, and it is much easier to get to items now. My only wish is that a Container Store would come to my area now. But it was worth the 70 minute drive!

Elfa Pantry
I absolutely love, love my new pantry! We just built a walk-in pantry and decided to check out Elfa for the shelving. It was the best decision we ever made. It was so easy to design and my husband installed it himself. I love that I could add additional shelving and change out the type of shelf ie. regular to a basket shelf.

Bannu: Protests against prolonged load shedding
Bannu- Protestors against the prolonged load-shedding in Bannu blocked the Bannu-Kohat Road by burning tyres today. The demonstrators said that the duration of unannounced power outages has reached up to 22 hours and forced many to close down their businesses. They also staged a sit-in on Bannu-Kohat Road and blocked the traffic for several hours. Long queues of vehicles formed. Load shedding in the far-off areas like northern Balochistan is about 15 hours, while 18 hours is common in rural areas. 12 to 14 hour load shedding is being carried out in Sindh while the situation in Punjab is also not very different.

Daniel Poleshchuk climbed to the top of the Under 15 world rankings after finishing third at the British Junior Open.
Playing his last competition in his age group, Poleshchuk was one of two Israelis in the Under 15 competition. Seeded five out of eight, he featured in a high quality field with the first four seedings going to Egyptian players.
Having dispatched the third seed in the quarter-finals, Poleshchuk went on to take the bronze, achieving the best performance ever by an Israeli squash player and the highest placed European in his age category.
Richard Goodman's first race back after injury could hardly have been tougher, but in it he proved he can hold his own against the very best runners from Europe and America.
The event was the 8.2km Bupa Great Edinburgh Cross Country, televised live on BBC. The starting line-up included Mo Farah, European 5,000m and 10,000m champion, and nine-time European Cross Country champion Sergiy Lebid of Ukraine.
Coming 27th overall behind winner Mo Farah, Goodman, 17, came third amongst the Under 23s, beaten by a 21-year-old and a 20-year-old respectively.
Michael Klinger is set to become the first Jewish cricketer to compete in the Indian Premier League after being snapped up by new boy's Kochi.
The South Australia skipper will earn around $75,000 after signing
a two-year deal with Geoff Lawson's franchise and will team up with the likes of legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan and Sri Lanka star Mahela Jaywardene.
The Twenty20 tournament, which will run from April 8 to May 28, is in its fourth year and has already
transformed the game on the sub-continent.
Daryl Phillips described Alex Kaye as the perfect midfielder after his fantastic five-goal salvo destroyed Southgate Harmen A and rekindled his team's title hopes.
Standing in for manager Zuriel Solomon, who was away on honeymoon, Phillips, the assistant manager, could only stand back in admiration following an exhilarating display from last season's MJSL Player of the Season.
Kaye, a summer signing from Oakhill Lions, marked his return to top-flight action with a powerhouse display that simply blew Harmen away.
Tamir Cohen made his first start of the season for Bolton in the 2-0 FA Cup victory over Conference side York at the Reebok, less than 48 hours after returning from Israel where he was mourning the death of his father, Avi.
The Israeli midfielder played an hour of the third round tie. He said: "I hadn't trained for two and a half weeks so did well to last an hour."

Mitsubishi is going plug-crazy at Geneva, with the new Engelberg Tourer next-generation sport utility concept. The vehicle incorporates the Dendo Drive House System, which creates an energy ecosystem between a home and an electric vehicle.
The plug-in hybrid SUV concept is named after the famous Engelberg ski resort in central Switzerland. It has twin motors, all-wheel drive, and it hints towards a new-generation Outlander PHEV.
The plug-in hybrid system is an evolution of the current PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) system in the Outlander, using a slightly larger 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine as a generator (versus the 2.0L in the Outlander PHEV), but the same one-motor-per-axle layout. The Engelberg Tourer concept has an estimated all-electric range of 43 miles (70 km) and a total range of over 435 miles (700 km). Mitsubishi didn't state the size of the battery pack, but we suspect it's about the same 12 kWh pack that's found in the Outlander PHEV.
Like most Mitsubishi AWD-equipped crossovers, the Engelberg Tourer concept has an advanced torque-vectoring system. This is made even more controllable through the variable speeds possible with electric motors, though Mitsubishi is still calling it Super All-Wheel Control as with the mechanical models. Torque split is still determined by steering wheel turn, vehicle yaw rate, brake pressure, and wheel speeds. Because why mess with a good thing?
The concept SUV is sitting alongside a demonstration model of a project called Dendo Drive House (DDH). This is a packaged system of technologies that combine a home's solar panels, energy storage in a home battery, and an EV or PHEV like the Engelberg Tourer into one cohesive ecosystem. It can reduce costs across the board for its owners, gathering and delivering power in a smart way to include charging or utilizing battery storage in an electrified vehicle, for the purpose of reducing overall energy costs for the household.
Mitsubishi is keen to show off DDH and its benefits, as the launch date for the system is coming up fast. The system will be introduced in Asia and Europe later in 2019.

im- + prudence. From Latin imprudens.
Examples
When the dinner was over, De Segur took me to a window, expressing his uneasiness at what he called the imprudence of Jacquemont, who, he apprehended, from Joseph's silence and manner, would not escape punishment for having indirectly blamed both the restorer of religion and his plenipotentiary.
The maid, with a generosity and Christian principle rarely surpassed, conscious that his imprudence might be his ruin, brought him the thirty pounds, which was part of a sum of money recently left her by legacy.
A man is burnt: if by his own imprudence, that is a 'physical' sanction; if by the magistrate, it is a 'political' sanction; if by some neglect of his neighbours, due to their dislike of his 'moral character,' a

Conceded the Jesuits in simple router in 1626 by Henri de Levy, Duke of Ventadour and Viceroy of New France, the fief of Notre-Dame-des-Anges extends from the Saint-Charles River to the river Beauport, on four leagues of depth. During the creation of the Companies des Cent-Associés, sanctioned by Louis XIII in May 1628, the land of the Jesuits, as all other concessions, becomes the property of this new company. In the capitulation of Québec in 1629, the Jesuits are forced to abandon their property. They are back in New-France in 1632. The Companies des Cent-Associés confirmed as owners of the stronghold on 16 January 1637. It will be erected in Lordship on January 17, 1652.

All the child sweatshops in poverty-stricken nations mumbo jumbo aside, you have to admit that Nike makes some pretty bad ass commercials. For over twenty years Nike has looked upon Portland agency Weiden+Kennedy as their primary. During that time they have continually created some of the most memorable and inspiring commercials on television.
11. I FEEL PRETTY
This commercial has everything you need for a classic. A catchy tune that is sure to get stuck in the viewers minds. 2 – A hot little Russian blond tennis phenom. And Johnny Mac.
This was without a doubt the biggest pain in the ass post I’ve ever done. F*cking NBC and their damn lawyers have taken almost everything off youtube and Hulu has the absolutely uber gayest region restrictions.
So I did my best in providing video, you’ll have to jump for a couple of them.
11. Cate Blanchett – Bio-hazard worker (Hot Fuzz)
I have seen this movie twice, and honest to God had no idea that was the incredible thespian Cate Blanchett behind that mask. I only realized it when doing research for this post and I apologize but I couldn’t find a clip from the movie.
11. Perceptor
Transforms into: Microscope
Perceptor is a scientist, one of the most brilliant minds the whole of Cybertron can offer. He is always looking to learn more, and his discoveries have proven invaluable time and time again. Though his specialties lie in metallurgy, electrical engineering, and other sciences closely related to Transformer physiology, his thirst for knowledge has made him kind of a scientific jack-of-all-trades.

With The Dark Knight behind us and 2008 quickly coming to an end, we’ve already had two major titles pushed back (Half Blood Prince and Watchman), one has to wonder what do we have to look forward to in 2009? The following is a list of 11 blockbusters that you may want to keep an eye out for and most definitely get off your ass to go see.
11. Inglorious Bastards
Director: Quinten TarantinoCast: Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, B.J. Novak, and Samuel Jackson as the narratorWhy you’ll like it: Based in France during World War II, the movie follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers who were known as “The Bastards”. A group of soldiers chosen specifically t spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. With Tarantino behind the camera I’m hoping this will be Saving Private Ryan with an insane amount of slaughtering and brutality.
Gentlemen… let’s be honest. I know for a fact you’re all outstanding, hairy chested, motor oil loving manly men. But every now and then you’re forced to suck it up and take one for the team. Girls have all the vaginas and therefore have all the power and when that night comes that they decided you’ll be watching a chick flick, here are some movies that you might want to suggest. They’re guy friendly and won’t make you seem like a complete panzy sitting on the couch cuddling your girl, while she sobs over the Notebook or some other Richard Gere crap fest.
11. The Sweetest thing
Written by Nancy Pimental (the girl who replaced Jimmy Kimmel as host on Win Ben Steins money) it stars Cameron Diaz and Christina Appelgate and the always annoying and untalented Selma Blair. Pimental wrote the movie based on her relationshi with Kate Walsh.
WHY GUYS WILL LIKE IT: As far as romantic comedies go, this one is pretty guy friendly and relies primarily on crude gags as its source of humor. Including the memorable “Penis Song”, the glory hole scene and Jason Bateman and Tom Janes witty dialogue about relationship with women.

Different machines help run the operation and production processes in manufacturing facilities. Industrial air compressors often power major operations, as they act as the workhorses without which other equipment can’t run optimally.

Just minutes after the rollout began, social media sites filled up with complaints from iPhone users who, after trying to download iOS 10 over WiFi, found that their iDevice had been rendered useless.
Apple has also recommended using AppleCare directly, or you can head over to an Apple Store if you don't have access to a Mac or PC.
iOS 10 is available now and works on the iPhone 5 and newer handsets. iPad Mini and newer models and the iPod touch 6th generation. They say that their devices are losing cellular signals and that the only way they're able to get cellular connectivity again is by restarting the device.
The major changes brought by the iOS 10 are most visible in the Apple Music redesign, Photos App, Messages, and Home App to name a few.
The early birds who updated their phones during the release day last Tuesday complained that the update bricked their phones. Before you download, it's also a good practice to make sure your device is backed up.
More recently, in February this year, Apple faced criticism after an update started bricking devices if they had been repaired by a company other than Apple.

RevoluSun shows us what a smart home looks like
0:00 Trini: There’s a lot of talk these days about smart things, like smartphones for example. But what exactly does smart mean? Especially when it comes to smart homes, that can be pretty confusing. Here to shed some light on what a smart home is, is Eric Carlson with RevoluSun. Hello!
0:19 Eric: Hi Trini, how are you?
0:20 Trini: I’m doing great. So, tell us, what is a Smart Home, what does a Smart Home look like?
0:27 Eric: Well for us it’s pretty simple. Really it’s a home that takes advantage of the natural elements to make it more economical and more enjoyable to be in. So for us that’s the definition of a Smart Home.
0:38 Trini: Okay, and so what areas of the home can be smarter?
0:42 Eric: Well there’s a lot of things that you can do but what RevoluSun Smart Home focuses on are energy from the Sun, natural lighting solutions, fresh air, water, and home energy security.
0:58 Trini: Okay, so what does that mean exactly? I had a lot of people that think of smart home they think of okay photovoltaic system, but it doesn’t stop there.
1:03 Eric: No, there’s a lot of areas. So, by breaking a home into those five different areas, what we’re trying to do is essentially use technology to bring the outside in, via natural lighting. There’s a lot of studies that talk about the benefits of having natural light, so that’s one area that you can do. Bringing fresh air in, through a whole house fans as one of the products that we offer, is another economical way to—instead of air conditioning—to cool your home using the natural elements and amplifying that with this product that we offer. So there are a number of different areas around the home that we can do, that are economical to make your home a lot more efficient and a more enjoyable place to live.
1:48 Trini: Okay, my ears went off—ding ding ding—when you said economical. Let’s talk numbers. How much can someone expect to save when they have a Smart Home?
1:55 Eric: Well it depends on the home user and how they’re using their energy prior to incorporating some of the products, but we see savings—dramatic savings. With photovoltaic, for example, you can get your bill down to, you know, twenty dollars a month. For people that may have a pool and incorporate one of our smart home products they can see savings of 80 dollars a month on their pool. So there’s, when you add all of those up, we’re talking a lot of savings.
2:27 Trini: Yeah, that’s a nice savings. So what are some future smart home products that you 2:32 have planned, you know, for installation?
2:32 Eric: Right, well there’s all kinds of neat things, and at our showroom—that’s where we showcase all of those products—but there’s things like keyless locks, keyless entry. We all have that for our car, why not have that for our home? So now when you come back from the grocery store you don’t have to juggle with your shopping bags, you can just tap your front door and it’ll open. So that’s a product that we’re bringing to market. There’s a lot of exciting things, and that’s the beauty about this industry is that things evolve so quickly that homeowners have a wide variety of products that they can come take a look at our showroom.
3:10 Trini: well that is very exciting. Eric, thank you so much.
3:12 Eric: Yeah, thank you.
3:14 Trini: Okay, I’m a big fan. And it’s so addicting too, once you start learning about all of these technology—smart technology systems, you’re gonna want it all.

Top-Rated Skin Doctors – The Solution for Your Skin
It’s the desire of every man and woman to have fresh skin and a trouble-free face. Numerous conditions can result in your skin having wrinkles. This might occur because of skin diseases, such as:
Acne
Eczema
Skin cancer
Moles
Skin tumors
Psoriasis
Melanomas
Any person diagnosed with any of these conditions is usually referred to a dermatologist through their doctor. Dermatologists mainly specialize in the management of any skin-related problems.
How to Qualify as a Top-Rated Skin Doctor in the US
For you to qualify to fit in the group of top-rated skin doctors in the U.S, you must have graduated from a recognized medical school. Additionally, you must pass through severe training by an experienced skin doctor.
Skin doctors who graduate from other countries are required by the law to secure a foreign graduate certificate before they qualify to be active dermatologists when they go back to the US.
Dermatologists are just like any other doctor because they are well acquainted with training and skills as medical doctors, but specifically in dealing with all skin conditions.
Skin Remedies
For some skin doctors, when offering a skin treatment, they have a long list of medication from which to select the most suitable remedy for your skin condition.
The most common treatments applied by these doctors include:
Sclerotherapy
Liposuction
Tissue augmentation
Laser resurfacing
Use of chemical pills
Dermabrasion
Other skin disorders conditions are as a result of aging, which is mostly characterized by loss of hair and skin discoloration.
Other skin doctors have specializations in providing cure to cosmetic-related issues, such as eyelid surgery, Botox injections, and collagen injections.
Extra Services Offered for by Skin Doctors
As much as dermatologists are perceived as specialists in all skin conditions, they can still offer other remedies. These include treating infectious skin diseases or even those conditions that lower your immune system. Such dermatologists are assigned duties in the hospital that are prone to certain contagious diseases.
Skin doctors have accredited experience in acting as pediatrics. These doctors help in solving severe skin conditions in children, like eczema and all skin allergies. These dermatologists offset all complex medical conditions accompanied by numerous symptoms.
Many people think that dermatologists are only meant to attend to skin complications; more so those caused by acne. However, this is not always the case. This particular field of medicine brings more than you can imagine.
The skin is the largest organ on a human body. A dermatologist holds a very crucial responsibility in the medical profession as it is the specialist who is always summoned to attend to numerous rare and severe skin conditions and diseases.
Skilled in performing all diagnosis and fragile surgical processes, dermatologists fall in the same group of top rated doctors from other medical fields, such as surgeons.
When seeking the services of a dermatologist, you must always choose the best who will offer your skin the long-lasting solution. This can only be achieved if you go for the best professionals in the field.

Search teams scour 21-mile area along the Big Thompson River in Loveland
9/18 4 pm -- Search crews with dogs from outside Colorado are looking for people in the flooding aftermath. Lindsey Sablan reports from Loveland.

LOVELAND, Colo. - A crew of 33 people and eight dogs searched a 21-mile area along Big Thompson River in Loveland on Wednesday.
In addition to the searchers from the Poudre and Loveland Fire Authorities, the team includes people and dogs from federal search teams based in Boone County, Missouri and Clark County, Nevada. They're looking for people who could be trapped or killed in the massive debris flow.
"We're doing good, the crews are holding their own. They're working longs hours," said Jason Starck, a battalion chief with the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority. "They're spirits are up and we're just trying to get one task off the list at a time."
"The dogs are trained to alert for live human scent," said Dr. Erin Venable, a K-9 handler with the team from Boone County, Missouri. "What we're doing basically is clearing any spot where a human could possibly be and we’re also making sure we haven’t missed someone who might have been stuck in the debris field."
The dogs are Labrador retrievers and German Shepherd breeds who were trained and certified in a process that takes up to two years. The training includes behavior, agility and search practice.
"By the time these dogs make it to this level, they are literally the best of the best," Venable said.
The large scale of the search provides unique challenges for the dogs, she explained.
"We need to keep dogs happy, need to keep dogs motivated," she said, "So we’ll stop every now and then and just offer dogs motivation."
The muddy, potentially hazardous debris makes it difficult for the searchers and the dogs.
"Obviously mud and silt is the biggest thing," Starck said. "Some of that acts like quicksand. When we step in it, we go down to our waist."
"I was just down in the bottoms with our team and we had to get three of us to get one guy out of the mud," he continued.
Starck explained that a hazardous materials team will be in the area Thursday to handle all the propane tanks and sewage that was swept downhill by the flood.
"We have human waste that's come down from the canyon. We know we have 55-gallon drums and various other primarily oil facilities that have spilled out a little bit. Propane is probably our biggest hazardous material we're trying to deal with," he said.

Palestinian National Council to Reassemble, 1st Time in 7 Years
Ramallah, West Bank (IMEMC) – The Palestinian National Council, the PLO’s legislative body, will hold an emergency meeting — the first in seven years — at some point in the next month, a member of the PLO Executive Committee said Saturday.
Bassam al-Salhi told Ma’an News Agency that the exact date for the meeting would be decided at a PLO Executive Committee meeting in Ramallah later on Saturday, but added it would likely take place before the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha on September 23.
Al-Sahli added that President Mahmoud Abbas would urge the committee to agree on holding the PNC meeting as soon as possible.
The 740-member PNC is responsible for deciding on PLO policies and electing the Executive Committee, the PLO’s primary executive body.
Arabic media has speculated that the upcoming meeting may result in changes to the Executive Committee and could pave the way for Abbas’ resignation from office.
Last month, PLO officials dismissed rumors of the president’s resignation, although sources close to Abbas did not deny the possibility, saying that “important, and maybe dangerous, decisions” are likely to be made in September, coinciding with the UN General Assembly’s 70th session.
Al-Sahli added that the PNC meeting may take place before Abbas’ scheduled trip to the UN summit on Sep. 15.
He added that the meeting will either be held in Ramallah or Bethlehem.
The last PNC meeting was an emergency meeting held in 2009 to replace six vacant positions, while the last Executive Committee elections were held in 1996 during a PNC session in Gaza.

This report was prepared by IMEMC.
IMEMC is a media center developed in collaboration between Palestinian and International journalists to provide independent media coverage of Israel-Palestine.
Note from The Fifth Column: Reports circulating that Abbas has already resigned and left office have been categorically denied by PLO leadership.

The world of technology moves faster than the speed of light it seems. Devices are updated and software upgraded annually and sometimes more frequent than that. Society wants to be able to function and be as productive as they can be as well as be entertained “now”.
Software companies must be ready to meet the demands of their loyal customers while increasing their market share among new customers. These companies are always looking to the ingenuity and creativity of their colleagues to keep them in the consumer’s focus. But, who are these “colleagues”? Are they required to be young, twenty-somethings that are fresh out of college with a host of ideas and energy about software and hardware that the consumer may enjoy? Or can they be more mature with a little more experience in the working world and may know a bit more about the consumer’s needs and some knowledge of today’s devices?
Older candidates for IT positions face many challenges when competing with their younger counterparts. The primary challenge that most will face is the ability to prove their knowledge of current hardware and the development and application of software used by consumers. Candidates will have to prove that although they may be older, their knowledge and experience is very current. They will have to make more of an effort to show that they are on pace with the younger candidates.
Another challenge will be marketing what should be considered prized assets; maturity and work experience. More mature candidates bring along a history of work experience and a level of maturity that can be utilized as a resource for most companies. They are more experienced with time management, organization and communication skills as well as balancing home and work. They can quickly become role models for younger colleagues within the company.
Unfortunately, some mature candidates can be seen as a threat to existing leadership, especially if that leadership is younger. Younger members of a leadership team may be concerned that the older candidate may be able to move them out of their position. If the candidate has a considerably robust technological background this will be a special concern and could cause the candidate to lose the opportunity.
Demonstrating that their knowledge or training is current, marketing their experience and maturity, and not being seen as a threat to existing leadership make job hunting an even more daunting task for the mature candidate. There are often times that they are overlooked for positions for these very reasons. But, software companies who know what they need and how to utilize talent will not pass up the opportunity to hire these jewels.
Straight up and full disclosure. I'm prejudiced. As a research assignment, the heading is a joke. I'll give you the answer in two words, and then tell you why.
How does HTML 5 compare with flash? Answer: it doesn't.
Lest you think I dislike Adobe's Flash, let's put the cards on the table. I loved Flash. Long before Adobe was Adobe, they had a competitor called Macromedia. Adobe bought that firm. That made my life simpler. I only had to work with one vendor.
Flash was a pretty compelling solution. I used it to mimic operations in Windows to prepare people for the CompTIA exams. The only bugaboo was that dang right-click stuff. A little bit of code from the Microsoft Visual Studio .Net let me flip the left and right mouse buttons so that the right mouse button instead of controlling the Flash player, emulated doing a right-click in the Windows operating system.
People are optimistic about problem solving, but in most cases this is easier said than done. How do you do it?
In Adobe’s 2016 global study on creativity in business, 96% of people identified creativity as essential to their success, both in terms of their income and the value they bring to the world. Moreover, 78% wished they were capable of thinking differently, believing that they would progress through their careers more quickly if they did.
According to Malcom Gladwell, the world's most successful people have one thing in common: they think differently from most everyone else. In his book, How Successful People Think, Malcom opens with the following: “Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss. Good thinkers solve problems, they never lack ideas that can build an organization, and they always have hope for a better future”
Too often we attribute creative and “different” thinking to natural, innate characteristics that belong only to the lucky. The truth is that you can study how ridiculously successful people think and incorporate their approach into your world.
With stiff penalties for being caught and the whiff of secretive underground or even nefarious acts, computer hacking can be seen as a somewhat dubious pursuit. Not all hackers operate with the motive of emptying your Paypal account, however; there are many hackers who utilize their skills to aid companies in locating security flaws ("penetration testing") or engage in hacking with the goal of becoming cyber-freedom-fighters that champion simple human freedoms, such as the right to free speech.
Computer hacking is as much an art as it is a skill. At its simplest distillation, hacking is the systematic search for chinks in programming armor. While advanced problem-solving, intuition and sophisticated understanding of programming languages are a distinct advantage, there does exist a number of push-button programs that computing wizards have written allowing those less sophisticated in the art of hacking to break into remote computers in a variety of ways. Because of this new ubiquity, today's hackers no longer need to be a programming Wunderkind; they simply need to know where to download software and be able to turn on a computer. It really is that simple and the implications can be disturbing.
Phishing, Push-Button Programs and Brute Force Tactics
There's no need to crack a company's firewall if you have direct physical access to their computers. One aspect of hacking is the impersonation of an employee or service worker with the goal of gaining access to a company's database, where the hacker can then unleash whatever havoc he or she has planned into the system. Another is to engage in simple phishing techniques, such as impersonating an employee who forgot their password and needs help logging into the system.
Because such impersonations often fail thanks to companies becoming more security-conscious, taking over operations of a computer remotely is often the preferred method of gaining access. Such attempts can be facilitated in a variety of ways. One is the brute-force method, in which a program such as SQLmap, Nmap or Burpsuite is used; running one of these programs is analogous to trying every doorknob in a neighborhood to see which house is unlocked. Using a variety of different parameters, these programs can find access to a vulnerable computer or network in less than a minute.
Hackers can also attempt to gain access with a program like Metasploit. With literally a few clicks of a mouse, access to a remote and vulnerable computer can be achieved by a relative newbie. With a related hacking aid, called Meterpreter, a backdoor is created that allows access into an operating system. It does not install itself onto the remote computer, running instead using the computer's memory; in fact, Meterpreter can hide itself inside the operations of a perfectly valid program, so it cannot be detected even by sophisticated programmers. Once engaged, it allows a remote user carte blanche access to the system in question.
Where to Learn the Art of Hacking
Of course, for those who wish to learn the actual skills rather than download someone else's hack, there are a number of practice sites that pose an increasingly difficult set of challenges intended to train neophytes in the art of hacking. For example, Hack This Site starts beginners with the goal of cracking simple flaws in coding scripts or software such as HTML, Unix, Javascript and Apache. Their structured series of tests increase in complexity, incorporating real-word scenarios and even old-fashioned "phone phreaking" challenges that recall the bygone golden age of hacking skills displayed by Matthew Broderick in "WarGames."
Using just these simple tools and free practice sites, beginners have a powerful array of hacking resources just a simple mouse click away.

A successful career as a software developer or other IT professional requires a solid
understanding of software development processes, design patterns, enterprise application architectures,
web services, security, networking and much more. The progression from novice to expert can be a
daunting endeavor; this is especially true when traversing the learning curve without expert guidance. A
common experience is that too much time and money is wasted on a career plan or application due to misinformation.
The Hartmann Software Group understands these issues and addresses them and others during any
training engagement. Although no IT educational institution can guarantee career or application development success,
HSG can get you closer to your goals at a far faster rate than self paced learning and, arguably, than the competition.
Here are the reasons why we are so successful at teaching:

Remarkable Reindeer
I was so excited to see reindeer at the San Diego Zoo! We learned so many interesting facts about them from our book Remarkable Reindeer. I can't be sure if this was a girl or boy reindeer since the female can have antlers too!

As part of its campaign to end malnutrition and hunger and to secure the future of Filipino children, Save the Children officially launched its Christmas campaign for 2018, ‘Lahat Dapat’ on Thursday, October 25, at Ascott Makati.
Supporters of the cause are encouraged to wear the ‘Lahat Dapat’ limited edition red scarf that is available on Save the Children’s website for Php500.00.
For those who will purchase a total of Php1,000.00, aside from the scarf, will get a chance to have their 10-second digital billboard spot along EDSA.
Present during the event is Save the Children ambassadress for this year’s campaign, Miss World Philippines 2018, Katarina Rodriguez.
“I can’t believe it’s been a year’ she said, ‘Last year I was able to donate 40 thousand pesos by selling my old clothes online” the Beauty Queen added.
Rodriguez, who share the same passion with Save the Children, revealed one of the reasons why she decided to join the cause.
“If I were not Miss World/beauty queen, I’d be a mother” Katarina said. “I’ve wanted to do something that would impact even one person’s life. Before I have my own family, I wanted to help the world somehow, and what better way than to help children. I believe in two things; sustainability and education.”

Trusts are now in the Opposition’s sights – investors urged to consider alternatives
“The recent tax hikes on contributions to super have significantly eroded the potential retirement savings of many Australians. Super isn’t necessarily the most tax-effective savings plan out there anymore.”
These are the words of Neil Rogan, a specialist in investment management and General Manager – Investment Bonds Division at Centuria Life following the latest in a range of ever-erodging super changes and the news that Bill Shorten has discretionary (family) trusts in his sights. If these are taxed at 30% as per his policy, there are very few tax-effective investment structures left.
Family trusts, even without a new tax, have some potential drawbacks
Family trusts, even if left untouched, which is far from certain, do not provide the same long term flexibility and simplicity as an investment bond. Family trusts work well to distribute income to family members on lower tax rates, but as soon as children over the age of 18 who are at University and eaning less money begin to work, and earn money, all the income distribution from a family trust does is create a tax problem for them. This is never the case with an investment bond.
And creating a trust and maintaining it is complicated, expensive and there are ongoing regulatory obligations.
Company structures just delay, not get rid of tax
Company structures have similar drawbacks, and really all they do is kick the tax liability down the road. They don’t do away with it.
Investment bonds are as tax-effective as super, more tax-effective than trusts or company structures and carry low regulatory risk. Why wouldn’t you consider one.
Investment bonds are not-only just as tax-effective as super, but are more flexible, simpler to administer and can be transferred tax-free to whoever you choose. And they have a low regulatory risk. Unlike super, and potentially family trusts.
“Australians are right to be concerned about Bill Shorten’s recent comments about changing the tax law as it relates to family trusts. With tax hikes and limits on contributions to super already in place, if discretionary trust fall under the Opposition’s hammer, investors will have very few tax-effective savings options left.
“That’s why investment bonds are worth a look now more than ever. They have low regulatory risk and the tax benefits can be at least as good as super, sometimes better. And they are simple, flexible, cheap to set up and you can access your money at any time,” says Mr Rogan.
How investment bonds work:
Investment bonds operate like a tax-paid managed fund. Tax is paid at the corporate rate of 30% within the bond structure. Depending on the underlying assets in the bond, effective tax could even be less.
Returns are re-invested in the bond and not distributed, and if this is maintained for 10 years, all proceeds are distributed tax free.
Additional contributions can be made throughout the life of the bond, up to 120% of the previous year’s contribution.
Because an investment bond is in structure an insurance policy with a life insured and a nominated beneficiary, funds can be transferred to a beneficiary tax free, and do not form part of the investor’s estate.
When super is passed on to non-dependent adult children, it is taxed at the rate of 17%, an investment bond’s proceeds are tax free.

Obama set to visit haunted ground of Hiroshima
Posted: 8:19 PM, May 26, 2016
Updated:2016-05-27 00:19:38Z
By:
Associated Press
HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Convinced that the time for this moment is right at last, President Barack Obama on Friday will become the first American president to confront the historic and haunted ground of Hiroshima.
Here, at this place of so much suffering, where U.S. forces dropped the atomic bomb that gave birth to the nuclear age, Obama will pay tribute to the 140,000 people who died from the attack seven decades ago.
He will not apologize. He will not second-guess President Harry Truman's decision to unleash the awful power of nuclear weapons. He will not dissect Japanese aggression in World War II.
Rather, Obama aimed to offer a simple reflection, acknowledging the devastating toll of war and coupling it with a message that the world can — and must — do better.
He will look back, placing a wreath at the centopath, an arched monument in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park honoring those killed by the bomb that U.S. forces dropped on Aug. 6, 1945. A second atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki three days later, killed 70,000 more.
Obama will also look forward.
Hiroshima is much more than "a reminder of the terrible toll in World War II and the death of innocents across the continents," Obama said Thursday.
It is a place, he said, "to remind ourselves that the job's not done in reducing conflict, building institutions of peace and reducing the prospect of nuclear war in the future."
Those who come to ground zero at Hiroshima speak of its emotional impact, of the searing imagery of the exposed steel beams on the iconic A-bomb dome. The skeletal remains of the exhibition hall have become an international symbol of peace and a place for prayer.
The president will be accompanied on his visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — a demonstration of the friendship that exists between the only nation ever to use an atomic bomb and the only nation ever to have suffered from one.
It is a moment 70 years in the making. Other American presidents considered coming, but the politics were still too sensitive, the emotions too raw.
Even now, when polls find 70 percent of the Japanese support Obama's decision to come to Hiroshima, the visit is fraught.
Obama's choreographed visit will be parsed by people with many agendas.
There are political foes at home who ready to seize on any hint of an unwelcome expression of regret.
There are Koreans who want to hear the president acknowledge the estimated 20,000-40,000 of their citizens who were among the dead in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are blast survivors who want Obama to listen to their stories, to see their scars — physical and otherwise.
There are activists looking for a pledge of new, concrete steps to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
There are American former POWs who want the president to fault Japan for starting the war in the Pacific.
Obama will try to navigate those shoals by saying less, not more.
The dropping of the bomb, he said Thursday, "was an inflection point in modern history. It is something that all of us have had to deal with in one way or another."

I react so badly to insect bites
Some people believe that taking vitamin B eg in an oral vitamin B complex preparation may reduce the likelihood of being bitten...
Question
I react badly to mosquito bites. In the past the bites have blistered and sometimes swollen into very hot, itchy spots.
I do take malaria tablets when required. On my most recent trip abroad to Spain, I was bitten again and the bites reacted as usual.
Is there anything I can take before a trip that will stop such an adverse reaction to the bites?
Answer
Insect bites can be very troublesome and if you are someone who frequently gets bitten and reacts badly to the bites it is worth doing all that you can to avoid being bitten.
ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW
Insect repellent spray, and plug-in types of repellent can be very effective and covering up at times when bites are most common (early morning and evenings) is a good idea too.
In tropical places, avoiding bites is even more important because of the risk of catching insect-borne diseases such as malaria.
Some people believe that taking vitamin B, eg in an oral vitamin B complex preparation may reduce the likelihood of being bitten. Apparently the vitamin is excreted in the sweat and puts off biting insects.
MOST POPULAR
There are no studies that support this claim, but you may like to try this. B vitamins should not be taken long term but taking them for a few weeks at a time would be safe.
Try to avoid scratching any bites that you get as this does make the reaction worse.
Antihistamine medications such as loratadine should ease the itching to some extent.
An antihistamine cream specially designed for use on insect bites is also helpful. When you take a bath keep the water cool as heat will tend to make the itching worse.
One thing that you need to be aware of is that bites do sometimes become infected. For this reason if you notice that the area around a bite is becoming very red, hot or swollen, it is always a good idea to arrange to see your GP or practice nurse so that they can check that this is not happening.

As an exercise in media manipulation, this week's budget scores top marks. The government's spin doctors managed to convince the media it was a "stimulatory budget" when it was actually mildly contractionary.
With financial markets trading virtually continuously, the old need to lock the media up on budget day until the markets had closed disappeared decades ago. The only reason for continuing the practice is to maximise the government's ability to influence the media's initial reaction to its budget.
It does this by keeping journalists locked up for six hours, during which time the only experts they can approach for opinion and clarification are Treasury and Finance officers. Then you let the journos out just before deadline, when it's too late to contact independent experts.
The theory is that influencing the media's initial reaction is half the battle in influencing the electorate's ultimate reaction. Didn't work last year, of course.
If you wonder why governments habitually leak or announce so many of the budget's measures ahead of time, it's all part of the media manipulation. You announce measures you know will be popular so they get more attention than they would if you announced them all together on budget night.
You announce unpopular measures ahead of time to soften voters up and also so the media will regard them as old news on budget night and thus won't say much about them.
This year, the good news announced early was the changes to childcare subsidies, plus the decisions to make savings in the cost of pensions and Medicare in much less painful ways than had been proposed in last year's budget.
But you always save a bit of good news to act as the "cherry", taking care not to breathe a word of it in advance. Making this the only measure the media regards as "new" ensures they make it the centrepiece of their coverage. And, of course, you've made sure it's good news.
This week the cherry was the "Growing Jobs and Small Business package". And, boy, didn't the media go to town. The cut in the rate of tax imposed on small business was terrific, but the plan to allow multiple asset purchases of up to $20,000 each to be "written off against tax" was mind-blowing.
The next day's headlines showed how easily the media were manipulated: Joe's Jumpstart, Kickstarter, and Road to Recovery?
Don't be misled. The 1.5 percentage-point cut in the company tax rate for small businesses is itself small. The equivalent cut for unincorporated businesses will yield a maximum saving of less than $20 a week.
And the two-year offer of an immediate 100 per cent write-off for newly purchased business assets costing less than $20,000 each is nothing like the rort-inducing "bonanza" imagined by innumerate journos and economists who don't know as much accounting as they should.
You don't get up to $20,000 a pop taken off your tax bill - making the asset essentially free - you get it taken off your taxable income, meaning the taxman picks up 30 or 40 per cent of the cost, leaving you to pay the rest.
In any case, the cost of assets purchased for business purposes has always been 100 per cent deductible. The difference is that usually this "depreciation allowance" is spread over five years or so, whereas this special deal accelerates the full deduction to the end of the first year.
So it will probably induce a noticeable increase in small business investment spending, but that's unlikely to be big enough to make much difference to the economy's rate of growth.
It's a classic example of the things governments do when they're trying to apply fiscal stimulus, being similar to a measure in Kevin Rudd's stimulus package of 2009 after the global financial crisis.
But note the measure's downside: because it's temporary, its main effect will be to draw forward into the next two financial years spending that would otherwise have occurred in subsequent years, leaving a vacuum in those years. And because most motor vehicles and business equipment are imported, much of the increased investment spending will "leak" into imports.
Another part of the hype is the government's claim that small businesses are "the engine room of the economy". Nonsense. Big business is. As the budget's fine print admits, small business accounts for only about 38 per cent of the workforce and about a third of production.
The most important point, however, is that just because a budget contains a few small but sexy measures doesn't make it a "stimulatory budget" to anyone but a journo after a good headline.
To an economist, you have to put the few stimulatory measures into the context of the net effect of all the new measures taken in the budget.
When you do that you find they are expected to add $2.2 billion (or 0.13 per cent of gross domestic product) to the budget deficit in the coming financial year, but subtract $1.6 billion from the deficit over the five years to 2018-19.
Either way, the expected net effect of the budget's measures is too tiny to matter. That's the old, strict Keynesian way to determine the "stance" of fiscal policy adopted in the budget.
The Reserve Bank's way of determining the budget's overall effect on the economy (which adds to the above change in the discretionary or "structural" component of the deficit the expected change in the "cyclical" component caused by the operation of the budget's "automatic stabilisers") shows that, measured as a proportion of GPD, the coming year's deficit is expected to be 0.5 percentage points lower than for the financial year just ending, with expected falls of 0.6 points, 0.7 points and 0.4 points in the following years.
In my book, a change of 0.5 percentage points is right on the border between insignificant and significant. That makes the budget only mildly contractionary.

Random Rantings of Avinash -
Anyone who uses the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried taking candy from a baby

What seems to be the problem?
A few days ago, I ate something that would sound odd but was quite nice - mango sambar. Most of the few eyeballs that scan this blog probably know what both are, but just in case. This is a mango - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mango and this is sambar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambar_%28dish%29 . And while I admit that it was pretty good, I am left wondering as to how many people would accept my culinary tastes.
This train of thought led me to Section 377, and the recent ruling by the Delhi High Court ruling the section to be unconstitutional. Frankly, I was surprised, because I didn't think it would happen. And the reactions were expected. Religious reactions apart, I found some reactions... Well I couldn't understand them. I don't know where to start.
First off; the claim that it is against culture and nature. Without debating the truth of these claims, I would like to proceed. We do a lot of things that are "against nature". We drive cars, we bathe - with soap, and the list goes on. "Animals" don't do these things. And what of the "against culture" argument? I must say I have my reservations about whether this is even a valid argument. There are many things that were "against culture" at one point.
Racism was part of culture, so was Sati ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice) ), even bathing was not encouraged by Victorian culture. But back in the day, people rode horses - which is awesome, and the environment was also more respected (apparently). Now all I'm saying is that any practise must be examined on it's own merit and not on whether it's part of "culture". Culture is a dynamic entity, and there is no obligation to keep it static.
Then there's the standard "aping the west" argument. This is something of a moral panic, and again, ties back to the culture argument. Must we not adopt something just because it is prevalent in the west?
Then there's the "what are we going to legalise next" argument. Hmm. This is something of a slippery slope we're traversing. There are a lot of things to say about those activities that would be legalised, but then again - that's not what I'm talking about here.
Then there's the "children to be protected" argument. This makes no sense any way you look at it. Sex with a minor is illegal. Period. Non-consensual sex is rape. Now if a new law to prevent homosexual sex with minors was implemented, how will two laws deter offenders when one didn't? Section 377 still regulates sex with minors.
Then there's the genetic/non-genetic argument should not even be raised. A lot of things are genetic - the predisposition to out-group violence, incest avoidance and many more. Whether homosexuality is genetic or not should not be relevant and it should be debated without this in mind just as other behaviours are.
In the end why regulate an activity performed by consenting adults in the privacy of their quarters? It's not worth debate, because it's a question of a section of society wanting to do their thing. If tomorrow a section of society wants to jump up and down holding hands in their private quarters with whomever they like to jump with, then should we even debate regulating it?
In any case, whether people like it or not, whether people think it is "disgusting" or not, it is a question of tastes. And I wont let you take away my right to eat what I want - like my mango sambar (although I am told that it's quite a traditional dish, and a quick google search confirms this).

Exclusive: Atsu set for another year at Vitesse
Christian Atsu will remain a player of Vitesse Arnhem for another season after Chelsea and the dutch club reached an agreement, Allsports.com.gh understands.
The Ghanaian winger was instrumental for Vitesse in his first season, culminating in him being named player of the year by the club and Allsports.com.gh understands he was willing to stay another year due to the competition for places in Jose Mourinho’s team.
He is among a number of Chelsea players like Lucas Piazon and Bertrand Traore on loan at Vitesse who enjoyed fine form with the Eagles but are still unsure of their place within Mourinho’s plans
Atsu is currently on international assignment with Ghana at the World Cup in Brazil.

Attorneys seek 25 years for man in Michigan airport stabbing
Published Fri Apr 12 2019 03:39:26 GMT+0000 (UTC)
by By COREY WILLIAMS
DETROIT (AP) — A Montreal man convicted of stabbing a police officer at a Flint, Michigan, airport was in debt and saw the attack as a way to become a martyr while benefiting his wife and children financially through a life insurance policy, his attorneys wrote in a Thursday court filing.
Amor Ftouhi's attorneys say he should get 25 years in prison and that he should serve that time in solitary confinement.
However, federal prosecutors say Ftouhi should be sentenced to life in prison for committing an act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and for interfering with airport security. They say he was on a mission to kill as many people as possible and then be killed himself.
Ftouhi was convicted in November on several charges in the June 2017 attack. Witnesses said Ftouhi, who is Muslim, yelled "Allahu akbar" — or "God is great" — while attacking Lt. Jeff Neville, who survived being stabbed in the neck.
Defense attorneys wrote that Ftouhi was depressed about being in debt and being unable to properly support his wife and children after he had moved them from Tunisia to Montreal. He also expected that other officers would have killed him and that his widow could have collected on his life insurance policy, they wrote.
"Mr. Ftouhi believed he had found a 'solution' to his financial and emotional predicament: become a martyr for Allah and earn a place in Paradise for him and his family as his reward," they wrote in the memorandum. "Mr. Ftouhi truly believed this was the creative answer to all of his problems both in the present and in the afterlife."
The filing did not list any of Ftouhi's debts and the attorneys declined to comment when reached by phone.
In his filing, U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider dismissed the defense attorneys' characterization of Ftouhi's attack as a one-time event and a product of his depression and hopelessness.
"Ftouhi may have been unsatisfied with his life but he tried to kill Jeff Neville and intended to kill countless more because he dreamed of being a mujahedeen — a warrior," Schneider asserted. "He yearned to be revered and killing was the way to achieve that. Life imprisonment is the only just sentence for this crime and the only way to ensure the public's safety in the future. The court should impose that sentence."
Investigators have said Ftouhi intended to stab Neville, take his gun and start shooting people at Flint Bishop Airport. He legally drove into the U.S. at Champlain, New York, and arrived in Flint five days later. He tried but failed to buy a gun at a gun show and instead bought a large knife.
"His plan was never to become an indiscriminate killer, attempting to create a mass casualty situation, nor was he trying to be a member of any radical Islamic group," his lawyers wrote. "Mr. Ftouhi most certainly believed he would have been killed on June 21, 2017, and when he wasn't killed, he was very upset."
Ftouhi's lawyers didn't offer an opening statement at trial and didn't call any witnesses. In her closing argument, attorney Joan Morgan said Ftouhi was unstable and believed it would be easier to be killed by police in the U.S. than in Canada.
"Mr. Ftouhi believed he needed to be killed as a 'soldier of Allah' by a uniformed enemy of Muslims in order to solve his problems of debt, to enter Paradise, and to end his life," his attorneys wrote in the memorandum. "He did not believe Allah would accept that an armed Canadian officer was an enemy of Muslims, but he believed an armed United States government official would be acceptable to Allah, given his perceived view of U.S. involvement in the Middle East."
FILE - In this undated file photo released by the FBI, shows Amor Ftouhi. Lawyers for the Montreal man facing life in prison for terrorism and other crimes in the stabbing of a Flint, Mich. airport officer are seeking a 25-year sentence. Ftouhi's attorneys also wrote in a memorandum Thursday, April 11, 2019, in federal court in Flint that the time should be spent in solitary confinement. Ftouhi was convicted in November.

// OVERVIEW
// Overview of passes (over term) and steps (not over term):
//
// pass1 - decide which f will be TLR and determine their arity.
// pass2 - what closures are needed? Finds reqdTypars(f) and reqdItems(f) for TLR f.
// Depends on the arity choice, so must follow pass1.
// step3 - choose env packing, create fHats.
// pass4 - rewrite term fixing up definitions and callsites.
// Depends on closure and env packing, so must follow pass2 (and step 3).
// pass5 - copyExpr call to topexpr to ensure all bound ids are unique.
// For complexity reasons, better to re-recurse over expr once.
// pass6 - sanity check, confirm that all TLR marked bindings meet DEFN.

Story TOpics
On Tuesday, President Obama sent a request to Congress for emergency supplemental appropriations to address the increased flow of families and unaccompanied children crossing our border illegally. The administration also indicated that it will separately work with Congress to relax the legal protections for unaccompanied children in the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, and it previously announced plans to hold families with children in immigration detention.
Many of these children and families are fleeing horrific conditions in Central America’s Northern Triangle: El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. In these countries, violence, persecution and human trafficking are pervasive. Honduras actually has the world’s highest murder rate. Not surprisingly, the U.N. Refugee Agency found that 58 percent of the unaccompanied children are asylum seekers.
How we treat those who request the protection of the United States should be consistent with our country’s ideals and laws. Unfortunately, the administration’s response is falling short.
There has long been a bipartisan commitment to refugees that should inspire the president and Congress. The Refugee Act of 1980 passed Congress with strong bipartisan support. The Council on Foreign Relations’ Independent Task Force on Immigration Policy — co-chaired by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, Thomas “Mack” McLarty — emphasized that the U.S. commitment to refugees is “enshrined in international treaties and domestic U.S. laws that set the standard for the rest of the world; when American standards erode, refugees face greater risks everywhere.”
The world is watching. The United States encourages other nations to provide refuge to those fleeing violence and persecution. While the number of people apprehended at our border has risen significantly, it’s still a drop in the bucket compared with the several million who have fled Syria and sought refuge in countries far less able than the United States to handle such flows.
Effective safeguards are crucial to identify those at risk of persecution, trafficking or torture. These risks are especially great for children, who may not know why their families sent them on the perilous journey to the United States and who are most vulnerable to trafficking. The bipartisan U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has repeatedly raised concerns about the process for identifying asylum seekers in expedited removal proceedings. In many cases observed by USCIRF experts, border officers didn’t follow established procedures to identify asylum seekers. The government would only exacerbate the situation if it jettisons key safeguards for at-risk refugees and children.
Holding children, families and asylum-seeking adults in immigration detention facilities, particularly for extended periods of time beyond initial processing, is also inconsistent with this country’s ideals. Last year, USCIRF issued a report detailing its concerns about U.S. detention of asylum seekers. In many cases, the use of detention is not necessary to meet the government’s important objective of assuring appearance for court hearings and possible deportation.
Alternatives to detention have proven effective. Criminal justice systems across the country are increasingly relying on them, prompted by groups such as the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Recent statistics from an alternatives-to-detention program used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveal that immigrants appeared for their final hearings 97.4 percent of the time and complied with final orders 85 percent of the time. There also are strong community-based models run by Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Many of the children crossing the border alone have parents or other relatives already in the country. About 85 percent of the unaccompanied children are reunified with family, often their parents. That is real “family reunification,” a central tenet of U.S. immigration policy.
The U.S. government should adequately staff border enforcement and U.S. protection and adjudication systems so that they can conduct timely — but not rushed — hearings that reflect America’s commitment to fairness. Additional resources are urgently needed to improve the conditions in Central America prompting so many to flee. This problem is in our backyard and we ignore it at our peril. The United States also should intensify its targeting of smugglers and human traffickers who prey on children and families.
What the U.S. government should not do is turn a blind eye to the conditions that these people are fleeing and force them to return to danger. Would we counsel the Jordanians to deport the Syrians who are refugees in their country? I doubt it. America should stand firm as a beacon of hope for those fleeing violence and persecution.

According to recent study published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, yoga injuries are on the rise, especially among older adults.
The study, titled “Yoga-Related Injuries in the United States From 2001 to 2014,” found that there were 29,950 yoga-related injuries reported in hospital emergency rooms during that time. Across the board, the number of injuries has increased in recent years, but among seniors the rate has skyrocketed.
The researchers reported that adults 65 years and older suffered eight times the number of injuries in 2014 as were reported in 2001.
While many doctors, physical therapists, and mental health practitioners encourage patients to practice yoga to improve their health, these well-meaning professionals may not realize the inherent danger in some styles of yoga, warns Heather Berg, a South Florida-based registered yoga teacher (RYT).
There are as many styles of yoga as there are flavors of ice cream, ranging from sweat and calorie burning intensity classes to gentle and restorative approaches.
“It’s important to do your own research and find a style of yoga and a qualified teacher to address your individual needs,” Berg tells Newsmax. “If you are just beginning to exercise, or have injuries, it is crucial to find an experienced teacher who has the right certification and has been practicing long enough to address your concerns.”
According to Yoga Journal, attending smaller classes can help a student get individualized attention from the teacher. This is especially true in vinyasa (flow) classes, where the repetitive flexion and extension of the spine can easily lead to injury if done incorrectly.
“Even better, start by taking a few private classes,” notes Berg. “That way, you can receive individualized attention and explore ways that your body responds to specific poses. A private session can help you create safer variations and teach you how to use yoga props to prevent injury.”
The most common areas of injury in yoga are:
Shoulders. Poses such a Chaturanga and Plank, yoga versions of a pushup, can irritate your shoulders. Berg says that students often exceed their natural range of motion or have improper alignment so that the tendons around the shoulders and biceps begin to tear. “No pain, no gain is not welcome on the yoga mat,” she says.
Knees. Very often, the pretzel-like poses can aggravate your knees. While many of the poses actually strengthen the legs and can be quite beneficial, if you feel a sharp pain in your knees while executing a yoga posture, particularly a twist, back off.
Hamstrings. A very common pose in yoga is the Forward Fold — both seated and standing versions. “Even the most flexible people can injure their hamstrings if they become overly enthusiastic,” says Berg. “I encourage my students to keep a slight bend in their knees.” This also helps reduce the strain on the lower back, she says.
Wrists. Props are perfect for protecting our wrists, which bear a lot of weight in many popular poses such as Downward Facing Dog, Plank and Table-top. “Use props such as blocks, blankets or even a folded towel to ease cranky wrists,” Berg says. “Make sure that your body weight is stacked evenly including using the shoulders and elbows so that the wrists don’t bear the brunt of the burden.”
Neck. Berg warns that headstands are certainly not for everyone ,and can result in serious injury. For years, the Headstand has been called the “king” of yoga postures, but recently has been criticized for exposing the head and neck to weight that can cause injury, according to Yoga Journal. In fact, in some yoga communities, the Headstand has completely lost its place at the throne, and has been banned in certain studios. “I personally do not teach headstand in my classes,” says Berg. “There are safer inversions that are just as beneficial without the risk.”

Friday, May 8, 2015
We have mourned for a week in solace. Nothing could give us comfort. Our beloved puppy, Zarrah had left us too soon.
Many of you know that our animals are equal to a human connection because they have a way of loving you unconditionally. Zarrah's life began in Mother Earth's playground, Tennessee. There was a sign on a pick up truck $60. Bulldog/Boxer mix. We were on vacation and I said oh how cute they must be, should we stop…NOT to buy but to look? Of course, the rest is history. We fell in love with her, immediately. She said farewell to her host parents and even hugged her brother by wrapping her head around his. The owner sobbed as we drove off, I knew how valuable she was the moment I saw his face. She was a prize and will always remain this way.
Our 5/6 years together were the BEST. Long before I could shed a tear, she would always lick them dry and muzzle her face into mine. The way she comforted me in my darkest hours, I will always be in debt to.
Zarrah had trauma a few years back. There was a male large dog that had intimidation, it spread fear and domination to both of our dogs. This vortex of new space/new territory created the perfect storm. Camden had passed the intimidation to Zarrah, biting her and immediately we went to the Pet ER and had Camden euthanized. 2 years later, Zarrah would chase a fox across the road and got hit by a car. Again, the Pet ER would rescue her life. Our critic's would say that is why you leash a dog. Danny and Zarrah had a bond that was so special, especially on those long walks. As you know wheelchairs aren't friendly to dog leashes (perhaps an invention we need to invest in). These two life traumatic events, forever changed her. She started to get very paranoid and would be on high alert, every single noise was intimidating to her. Especially visitors, the uncertainty. I suppose she felt she wanted to protect us at all costs.
We would get a new puppy to give Zarrah a new found purpose, being a surrogate mother. Daisy, our pug is mischievous and it was adorable to watch them both play, tease each other and most importantly give chance to bond. They were two peas in a pod. For over a year, the connection grew stronger and stronger between the two. The protection alerts grew even more intense because she saw herself as a mother. We began to become more concerned with her reaction to our visitors-family/friends that would come and she would try to nip, then immediately would fall into sadness begging for forgiveness. Zarrah didn't have control of her emotions and our concern's were growing. The perfect storm appeared again. The mailman came by. Zarrah had came close to biting him and I spanked her 2 times, which was so rare. On top of it, I ignored her for an hour and created space to show her my sadness…she had never experienced this type of reaction from me. I was disappointed in her eyes on a level that I had never been. It broke her spirit. I could see this, so I finally made up with her and we snuggled together and began the line of forgiveness. A line of disappointment had crossed and it was very evident that she was changed puppy.
By the stroke of midnight, a bone. Yes, a bone. That's all it took. We have plenty around but this one had been the "prize". Hundreds of times, Daisy and Zarrah pass around the bones but tonight it was different. Zarrah attacked Daisy and we all went into instant survival mode. I had separated them both with great force and was able to get to a safe area with Daisy. We went Pet ER and would later returned both puppies were in agony in separate levels of the house. The first thing Daisy did was run up the stairs to connect with Zarrah, a door separating them. Zarrah moaned with sadness and you could hear that she was asking for forgiveness.
Danny comforted Daisy, the agony of pain vs. processing a traumatic situation was so difficult. Without doubt, he was her shield of amour. I took Zarrah out. Grabbed a pillow, water, blanket, leash and a determined outlook to make this…."THE BEST DAY EVER".
Zarrah was always so scared of noises, especially loud ones-ever since her injuries. We went to a metro station where there was a bunch of grassy area. We watched the trains, buses, planes, cars go by. She wasn't any longer scared. She ran through the grass and into the creek. Ate two cheeseburgers, drank water out of a big gulp cup. We snuggled. I spent every minute I had with her, praising her and telling her she was a "good girl". I when through memory lane, telling her all the stories we had. 4 hours passed, her tail was underneath her. Finally, her tail lifted and she gave me peace. I kissed her so much my lips hurt.
By morning…we were in Zarrah's vet. I asked him, "what should I do?" He said, "My job is to be the voice of your dog". After listening to her full story….he said, "Please, give her peace". It would be irresponsible to give her to a shelter after knowing her traumatic situations and reoccurring disposition. If you should keep her, I can tell you how difficult it is because I too, have had two dog attacks with our own pets. They didn't have trauma, it is usually because of two things. Toy or Food.
Advice from our vet: If you have a dog(s). CRATE or USE SEPERATE ROOMS if they're eating or chewing on bones. If they have done it a millions times before…consider yourselves LUCKY. It only takes a heavy scent or behavioral issue to make any "normal situation into an isolated, harmful event". His dogs are crated when no one is home and always during the feeding/bone times. He even said, "knowing what he knows about his situation, he would have euthanized his dog too". It is too difficult to live in fear of safety for you and your animals.
Safety is our gateway to the choice we made. Although it was the most difficult choice ever, it was the right one. Please let Zarrah's story resinate with yours and make you think differently when it comes to toy vs. food.
Our hearts will take a great amount of time to heal. Zarrah passed away in my arms, her head started to raise when she was heading to heaven. I was singing Silent Night to her and told her to go chase all the angels and rabbits. Her heart stopped and it felt like mine did too. The moment I got into the car, her scent was so strong. She jumped right into the car and came home. Her presence is ever present. Daisy let's us know she is here.
Zarrah entered the kingdom. I shall never fear when I get there because I know she will be the first that I see, waiting for us.
May 1st, 2015. She shared the date of a famous singer that passed away the same day "Stand by Me". It also was the day that Justice system played it's first hand to getting justice for Freddie Gray. State of Maryland vs. MD Police Department. Both of these two events are a beautiful beginning and ending.
I will say this when I am 99 years old and laying in my bed, knitting with ginormous holes everywhere, "You WERE the BEST dog, I ever had".

Keeper tryouts (one shot)
She could do this. Elena knew she could do this. She has been working her ass off to become apart of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Her parents would have been proud. She had made an audition with the captain but she had been grieving her parents and siblings death so she had it canceled. But now she has moved in with the Greene's who are in the process of adopting her and even though she should be happy, she will always want her biological family. Elena had this tryout in the bag. She was not going to leave the field until she showed the captain what she was made of.
Elena had her father's broomstick and she was going to have good luck with it. She could feel it in her bones. Elena walked to the Quiddith pitch with her head held high. The captain could intimidate her all they want but this was Elenas chance to kick some ass and prove she was strong and level headed. The blonde reached the Quidditch Pitch and instantly saw the captain. "Elena Bliss ready for keeper tryouts for Slytherin house" Elena stood tall and refused to show any signs of weakness or fear.
"Good, get on your broomstick and show me what you got" Elena nodded and mounted her broomstick and flew into the air. She got to the keeper post on the left side of the Quidditch pitch. She was confident and ready. This tryout was for her family and she would be damned if she let them down in anyway possible. "I'm going to throw Quaffles your way, I wanna see speed and agility " she nodded to the captain. Her green eyes were focused and she was ready to go. He threw the first quaffle and she blocked it. A few seconds later another and the process continued.
"Good, now they're going to come quicker and faster, get ready" Elena was ready. The first one was thrown along with the second. She blocked the first one and hurried and flew towards the second one, but by the time she got to the middle hoop, the Quaffle went through it. She missed it. She didn't worry, she hurried and got back into focus. Three more were thrown her way and she was like a ninja and blocked them all but two. She didn't mind though, in her mind she was doing great and that's all she could've asked for.. She was good on a broomstick and good at Quidditch, she was also determined and competitive, she didn't like to lose and she was not losing today or any game.
Elena had Quidditch playing in her blood, her father was great at Quidditch and was a keeper as well. He never lost a match in three years before he quit becaouse of his grades going down. Elena continued her routine and after what seemed like forever which was only a half hour, her tryout was complete. Her and the captain got back to the ground and she got off her broom. She waited to see what criticism she'd get.
"Very good Ms. Bliss, you're definitely someone Slytherin should have on the team. So on that note, you're the new Slytherin keeper. Good work" he then left and Elena squealed with happiness and looked up. "This is for you."
After their last defeat at the hands of Ravenclaw, Mimosa was fuming. It wasn't enough that they had lost in front of the entire school, in front of Mercy and Nerisei and Charles and everyone Mimosa wanted to show how great she was.
It was that they had lost in front of her Jacques... And not for the first time.
Mimosa had had it. Last year she hadn't been allowed to play all season and now that she was finally allowed in the skies, they were making her play with Ozzy who was a great story teller but a lousy player, anyone could see that. Squid Boy was stuck on the reserve team just as she had been her first year and the stupid boy wasn't even badgering the Captain to promote him to the actual team. Almost as if he liked being on the team more than playing for it. That would be silly though.
"Hey, I know that girl," the little witch pointed out from the bleachers where she sat with Squid Boy who had agreed to accompany her to watch the tryouts but seemed to be watching something else entirely on a sheet of parchment open beside him. "I dueled with her in DADA, she said she would teach me the spell that makes your wand fly."
As the tryouts continued, Squid Boy only contributing a tiny bit to the young witch's commentary about who looked promising and who should be sent back home, the numbers thinned until the blonde, her name was Elena if Mimosa recalled correctly, and two others remained.
"GOOOO ELENA!" Mimosa cheered as the girl came up to bat, or save. The older Slytheirn managed to save the first few but when Mimosa yelled, the blonde missed, clearly distracted. "Oops, sorry," the brunette waved sheepishly before growing quiet. Eventually, Elena was still the best among the people trying out and got the spot.
"Come on, let's go congratulate her," Mimosa insisted, grabbing Squid Boy's hand and hauling him up from his seat. His precious paper chased behind them as the boy desperately tried to hold on to it as Mimosa flew down the stands.
"Hi Elena!!! Well, done, you were great out there! Oh, this is Squid Boy, he's a reserve Beater."
Elena heard Mimosa and she smiled at the young girl who was a friend of hers and it caused her to miss. Elena didn't care, she knew that she could continue. The blonde continued her tryout until it was over. She flew back to the ground and went over to Mimosa. "Hey Mimosa... and squid boy" Elena felt a little weird about calling him that but if that was a name he didn't care to be called then she'd do it.
Elena was glad to know that she had a supporter out there since her family was not around. "Thanks, I'm on the reserved team which kind of sucks but hey, I'll get to the real team eventually just have to work harder I guess" Elena shrugged. "So when did you want to do the practice with the spells that you want to learn" the blonde asked .
The jubilant grin slipped from Mimosa's elfin features when she heard the word "reserve team". Mimosa had never had much cause to get angry before, the girl always got what she wanted, but this Captain was testing her patience - quite a feat as the little witch had none to begin with. "Reserve team? But you were great out there!"
Not giving Elena a chance to respond, the second year strode over to the Captain who was now packing away the equipment. "Excuse me, why is Elena on the reserve team?" The girl demanded without preamble.
"Policy,' the Captain replied, not really looking at her. "She needs to learn the game by sitting a few out at first."
"Well, that's a rubbish policy," Mimosa countered, her annoyance clearly showing as she stood up to the taller boy who - bound by his duties - couldn't do much but tried to explain. Even he knew who he was up against.
"Look kid, everyone does it. I did it when I first joined the team.You did it all last year, Nikolai is doing it too, and so is Elena."
"That doesn't make it right, and who is Nikolai?" Had he taken on someone else and she didn't know about it? Or did he mean Nicholas, the kid trying out for Seeker against Dia later in the year?
"He's right th- You know what, I make the decisions on the team, Harrington. Not you. Elena is benched until I say so."
"And look where that got us?" the witch shot back, real fury and anguish in her voice now. They were going to lose, and just because he wasn't listening to someone who clearly knew better than him. "And by the way, My Jacques will be here for the next match. Just like he is for all our matches. Despite us not being good enough all year."
This gave the older boy pause, as if it had been on his mind too. The Clements had been supporting their House Team with both morale and cold hard gold, it was the reason this little pipsqueak was on the team. And now...
"Tell you what, if Elena can block ten goals out of ten, right now, I'll replace the current Keeper with her for next game."
The eleven year old bristled, ten out of ten was impossible. But at least they were getting somewhere.
"Seven out of ten."
"Eight's my final offer, take it or lave it."
So naturally, without consulting with anyone, Mimosa agreed. "Hey Elena, there's still a little bit more of the tryout to go. Think you can block another few goals?"
Elena watched as Mimosa stormed over to the captain and she was very shocked that the young girl was going to try to get the decision reversed. Elena just really hoped that the young girl didn't make things worse for Elena. When Mimosa asked if she had more in her Elena was shocked but nodded. "Yes! I'm ready to go" Elena got on her broom and flew up to the keeper area.
The captain sighed and after looking at the young girl Mimosa who threatened him. He sighed and got back on his broom to redue the tryout. He didn't want to disappoint the Clements but he was also annoyed he had to redue this. He threw the first quaffle towards the young Slytherin who was trying out for the keeper position.
Elena didn't want to screw this second chance up, but she was going to succeed this time. She was doing this for her family who had spent so much time training her for this exact moment and she was not going to screw this up, no matter what. Elena watched the quaffle zig zag through the air and Elena green eyes followed the quaffle and she zooms to the left and successfully blocks.
Elena watches the captain throw two quaffle her way basically to try and trip her up. One was quicker then the other and heading towards where she already was and she blocked before zooming to the right and blocking her third quaffle. Three more were thrown and this is where it tripped Elena up the last time. She knew that when it came to the real game only one quaffle was used then you had to watch out for other dangers as well. There was no saying that no matter what anyone said the keepers were the real targets since they have to block.
Elena caught the one and threw it towards one quaffle that was heading towards the middle hoop. She didn't know what else to do since this happened to her earlier in her tryout before it was rematched. It was successful in taking out the quaffle that almost went through but was now heading towards the ground. Elena zoomed to the left and blocked but by the time turned around another quaffle went through the hoop. Now Elena was pissed because the captain did that to her on purpose.
When the captain threw two more she blocked them both and when it came to the last one Elena twisted her broom so the back hit the quaffle and it went zooming towards the captain and hit his shin. "Whoops!" Elena was so not sorry, she did that on purpose but she didn't care. She flew down next to Mimosa and hugged her. The captain flew down and looked at Elena. "Well?"
Mimosa watched as once again, Elena took to the skies. This time, the girl knew what was coming and had a lot more purpose to her flight. The Captain in turn was intent on playing dirty - something that made the young Slytherin grit her teeth. He was purposefully trying to prove that Elena was no good when she was doing much better than their current keeper.
Maybe he shouldn't be the Captain anymore?
All in all, the blonde saved nine, though Mimosa had began to cheer (quietly this time so as not to distract her friend). By the Captain's own rules, she was in the team. When the older witch landed, Mimosa didn't even wait for the Captain to speak up. She simply rushed over to hug the witch.
"Well?"
"Fine, fine," The Captain admitted, resigned to his fate. "You play in the next game, and if you do well you keep playing." The words were delivered with a heavy heart but then he yelled out to the current Keeper. "Hey Connington, you get to fuck about in the sidelines next game, watch the little girl do her thing and learn something okay?"
Mimosa didn't hear the rest as she skipped off with Elena. It was donw, her friend was finally on the team.

Out-of-this-world activities to learn about life in space
Saturday night at the 2012 Herstmonceux Astronomy Festival. Looking across the site towards Domes A, B and C.JPET Museum at Night May13 SUS-150226-161658003
Published:10:00Sunday 11 October 2015
The Observatory Science Centre is launching an out-of-this-world programme to celebrate the upcoming mission of the European Space Agency’s first British astronaut, Tim Peake, to the International Space Station.
Tim’s Destination Space programme is designed to inspire young minds with the wonder of space flight. Backed by the UK Space Agency, 20 science centres across the UK, including The Observatory Science Centre in Hertsmonceux, have joined forces with Tim Peake to provide children with this unique opportunity to learn about human space flight and life on the Space Station.
The Observatory Science Centre will be running a number of drop-in activities and family shows with experiments and explanations about life on the ISS, including what happens to an astronaut’s wee in space and how astronauts move around in space.
The Observatory will also have a life-sized replica of the Sokol spacesuit which will be worn by Tim on the flight to and from the ISS.
Dr Sandra Voss, science director at The Observatory Science Centre, said: “We are launching Destination Space on October 10 and are delighted to be taking part in this exciting programme.
“We will be running a number of events that will engage and inspire about Tim Peake’s mission.
As well as learning about Tim Peake’s work on the International Space Station, Destination Space also celebrates the work of the team behind Tim; there is a huge crew of people, from engineers, flight controllers, computer programmers and more who work to make space flight possible, and so this highlights all the fantastic career opportunities for young people within the science and space sectors.
Dr Penny Fidler, CEO of the Association of Space and Discovery Centres and director of Destination Space, said: “We want children and families to feel they are truly a part of Tim Peake’s exciting mission.
“His journey and time on the International Space Station provides a great opportunity to encourage children to be more curious, ask big questions and enjoy science.”

Here are four ways you can be sure you’ll be amongst the first to know what’s going on.

TO THE MOON AND BACK
The recent death of Prince caused me to reflect on my father. This was not because of even the slightest overlap in aesthetic preferences. My father’s musical tastes ran the gamut from Gilbert and Sullivan to John Philip Sousa. He was the kind of guy who enjoyed going to a high school band concert even if his own kids weren’t in it. Not your typical Prince fan.
No, the strictly tangential link between Prince and my Dad is that both had unusual given names, names that implied a royal connection that each in his own way ended up earning.
In my father’s case, King was not his first name - that was “Edwin,” after his father; but King was his mother’s birth name and no one ever called him anything but "King" - nor did my father ever seem the least bit abashed by it. Consequently it never struck me as being at all out of the ordinary, though some of my friends later told me how odd it seemed to hear a man addressed as "King" as casually as their own fathers were called "Jim" or "Bill" or "Ken."
The King family crest, painted by my grandmother. The motto - “Out of a ducal coronet or a demi ostrich ar beak or” - roughly translates as “The upper half of a silver ostrich with a beak of gold, shown in profile view, emerges through a duke’s golden crown.”
Later, as I sifted through the extensive collection of King family letters and documents I inherited from my father, I came to appreciate my grandmother’s love for her family and pride in their name. Her father, Arthur King, was descended from a long line of Anglican clergymen who lived and pursued their calling in Little Glemham in Suffolk, England. As a young man, Arthur emigrated to the US, probably for economic opportunities that were closed to him as one of many more younger sons than were needed to serve the needs of the local houses of worship. In 1889 he married a Pennsylvania girl named Vergetta Jane Sayers and the pair had one child, their daughter Beatrice, whom they adored. My father and his two younger brothers were Arthur and Vergie's only grandchildren, and my father fondly remembered long rambles with his grandfather King, butterfly nets in hand.
Arthur King with his grandson (Edwin) King Stodola (circa 1920)
Arthur became a naturalized US citizen in 1893 - an act requiring him to forswear allegiance to Queen Victoria. Despite his love for his adopted country, however, Arthur retained strong ties with his family for the rest of his life, returning frequently to visit them. My grandmother corresponded regularly with her first cousins in England. So my grandmother’s King heritage was, for her, living history.
Luckily for my grandparents and for Prince's parents, the US is quite tolerant of obscure or unusual name choices. Had they been born elsewhere, these names might have been rejected out of hand. “Prince” and “King,” for example, are both near the top of a no-list maintained by the New Zealand government for violating the rule that “acceptable names...should not resemble an official title and rank.” (Ironically, the name King does not necessarily imply descent from royalty but rather refers to a man with a kingly bearing, or to someone who played the part in a pageant or earned the title in a tournament.)
Since my father, no one else in the family has ever been known as "King." The tradition of using King as a middle name is now in its fourth generation, however, so I guess the Kings will continue to be with us for quite awhile!

CINDY STODOLA POMERLEAU
I was just shy of 3 years old when the US Army successfully bounced radar waves off the moon - the opening salvo in the Space Race, the birth of radioastronomy, and the first Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication. I was born on the Jersey coast for the same reason as Project Diana: my father, as scientific director of the Project, was intimately involved in both events. Like Project Diana, I was named for the goddess of the moon (in my case Cynthia, the Greeks' nickname for Artemis - their version of Diana - who was born on Mt Cynthos). Project Diana is baked into my DNA.

Tag: year in pixels
Hey everyone! It’s Monday again, which means another new blog post from your favorite poly family! This week it’s my turn to type for a while, and I’ve chosen the topic of journaling as a form of self-care.
The History
I’ve been journaling in some way since I was about 13-years-old.
At first I was just writing every angsty thought that crossed my mind and slapping a date on it. I burnt through 5 or 6 journals that way. Some time around age 16 I picked up a Composition notebook and entered my next phase of journaling. This phase consisted almost entirely of cryptic, vaguely poetic thought vomit, and random objects glued onto the pages scrap-book style. I used nothing but wide-ruled Composition notebooks(they were cheap) through this period. Today there is a pile of 10-15 of them boxed up in a closet silently bearing witness to the darkest period of my life.
I often wonder if I would have made it through that darkness if not for my journaling. Working on those notebooks allowed me to vent all my intense emotions in a contained, healthy manner.
The Current Phase
My current journaling phase began as an attempt to start bullet journaling. I failed sort of miserably at bullet journaling and it has since evolved well beyond that definition. Now I use elements of a bullet journal, a passion planner, and a good ol’ fashioned regular journal. Though I don’t know what to call it exactly, it has become an integral part of my daily life. My stress management and self-care skills would be severely lacking without it.
I’ve kept the index, the yearly/monthly/weekly spreads, and a bit of the bullet noting system from the bullet journal concept. The minimalist look and feel of a true bullet journal just didn’t quite do it for me, however. I wanted something warmer and a little more eclectic to fit my style and personality. To solve that, I’ve added trackers of different sorts and some artsy elements to liven things up a bit. Those trackers and the spaces I’ve intentionally left for creating art is where the self-care bit really shines through.
Self-Care
Each year/month/week I draw out a new spread, and every spread has a different color scheme/doodle/feel to it. This gives me a chance on a regular basis to tune everything else out and create some type of art for a minimum of about 20 minutes. For me personally, this is incredibly relaxing and rewarding. Allowing myself the time and space to be creative has proven to be a necessity in my mental health, so of course integrating that into my journaling experience was going to be a given.
The trackers I’ve added are for things like mood, weight, and health. For example: I have a seizure disorder that I recently started getting medical attention for, so I track when seizures occur. My mood tracker is laid out over an entire year with a block for each day. At the end of every day, the block for that day gets colored in with a color that matches my code for the mood that prevailed. Green for “good,” yellow for “okay,” orange for “bleh,” and red for “sh*t.”
The trackers are particularly useful for keeping an eye on patterns in your mood/health/finances/etc. This allows you to easily look back on them and reflect. Self-reflection has been a really important thing for me these days as I focus on healing and recovering. I’ve realized that I am particularly inept at listening to my body when it’s trying to tell me something and my trackers have been instrumental in allowing me to pay more attention. Even just the act of filling in the trackers on a regular basis is really helpful because it keeps me more aware of those things throughout the day.
My Setup
The setup I have right now is mostly a mismatched collection of things we already had around the house. Things like a cheap ball-point pen, a set of Cra-Z-Art colored pencils, and sometimes my Staedtler marker pens (though they have a tendency to show/bleed through). I did purchase a Moleskine dot-grid notebook, which is the one I’m using now, because I wanted to try the dot-grid style and I’ve always been a bit partial to Moleskine notebooks. I definitely enjoy and recommend dot-grid notebooks for this type of journaling, but any notebook will do. It all just depends on what it is that you’re trying to accomplish.
Of course if you do any kind of online research for journaling, you’re going to see a very wide variety of things that other people have done. Especially on Pinterest. Everything from clean, simple, minimalistic stuff, all the way to almost entirely art notebooks with watercolors, markers, paints, etc. Don’t get overwhelmed. Start off simple. Then, as you get more comfortable in the routine, you can add more things as you please. If you’re anything like me, you’re going to be tempted to try everything all at once. Resist that urge. Just trust me on this. Allow yourself the time and wiggle room to try new methods slowly, so that you can find exactly what it is that works for you.
And that’s it for now!Until next Monday, cheers to you and yours and happy journaling!

Jay Z: The Daddy Rapping Shark Jumper
Is Jay Z a daddy rapper?So, wow. I thought that Beyonce’s pregnancy got a lot of press, but it certainly pales in comparison to the press that the birth of Blue Ivy Carter has received. Lots to talk about, apparently. Like did Beyonce fake her pregnancy and farm out the dirty work to a surrogate? Or did Beyonce carry the child herself?
And what about the security measures taken by the couple? Some parents are claiming that such measures prohibited them from visiting their own children in the NICU. If true, that’s clearly disconcerting.
But of all the disconcerting elements which have surrounded the arrival of Blue Ivy Carter, none are more troubling to me than the song Jay-Z wrote in celebration of her birth.
It’s called “Glory feat. B.I.C.” (Blue Ivy Carter) Have you heard it? Or at least seen the lyrics?
You’re a child of destinyYou’re the child of my destinyYou’re my child with the child from Destiny’s ChildThat’s a hell of a recipe.
That part sorta reminds me of How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Here’s more:
Bad ass little HovTwo years old shopping on Savile RowWicked ass little BHard not to spoil you rotten looking like little me.
Wait. Did he just call her “rotten-looking”? Regardless, I’d probably be more inclined to spoil her if she looked like Beyonce. But maybe that’s just me. And Savile Row, huh? Because we’ve had real luck with this place called Baby Gap.
The most amazing feeling I feelWords can’t describe the feeling for real
Yet you’re doing such a good job.
Baby I paint the sky blueMy greatest creation was you.
Really? Because I sorta liked “99 Problems.”
You don’t yet know what swag is
but you was made in Paris
and mama woke up the next day
and shot her album package.
Okay. Check, please.
Look, I want to be good with “Glory feat. B.I.C.” I really do. Because, on paper, I love the thought of a dad writing a song to his firstborn. His little girl.
But Jay-Z’s jumped the shark with this one. And I’m afraid he’s landed somewhere near Sting multiplied by Bono.
Squared.
Because this song is so incredibly self-aggrandizing and self-indulgent. And any other negative adjective that contains the word “self.” Like the controversy that continues to swirl around the birth of Blue Ivy Carter, the song is caricature of itself.
But let’s back up. I understand why he wrote it. Becoming a parent for the first time is a transcenedental experience that anyone would want to share. Especially a first-time parent. But it’s difficult, if not impossible, to put that experience into words. Even for the most articulate and deep thinking among us.
And Jay-Z ain’t the man for the job. Articulate? You bet. But he’s about as deep as a thimble. Filled with sand.
From whatever pimp-ass island he chooses for their first official family vacation.
So given all than, I only have one question. Where were his friends during this whole deal? Because if I ran with Jay-Z and I saw him putting the finishing touches on “Glory feat. B.I.C.” in the studio, I would have done something.
Jay-Z! Drop down the headphones, put your hands in the air and slowly back away from the mixing board, you soft son of a bitch, you. You can thank me later.
But alas, no such friend stepped up. Or if one did, he or she was quickly dismissed. No big deal, though. Because “Glory feat. B.I.C.” certainly isn’t the first effort of its kind. (Though I’m pretty sure it’s the worst.) And it won’t be the last, either.
But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. So, c’mon, Jay-Z. You’re the man. Truly. But, knock off the daddy-rapping bit, okay?

BLOG
SeeNicRun fitness and running blog started nearly 8 years ago when Nicol aka "Nic" wanted to share her running experiences with other runners across the country. It was a great way to connect with other runners. Now that Nic has immersed herself into the fitness world, she has come to share valuable information on overall health and living a healthy lifestyle. With an extensive background in personal and group training, competitive running and lifestyle coaching, you will learn that fitness is not only for the body but it's for the mind and spirit as well!
As a certified personal trainer it is Nic’s job to help people reach their fitness and health goals or they could waste your time and money if you have chosen to settle with the wrong professional. With the numbers of personal trainers nowadays, it is difficult to determine which is best for your needs. It can also be tough to know if you really need the expertise of a trainer or not.
Once you shop around for a personal trainer, there are numerous gyms that can offer you lots of options in personal training solutions and their high-pressure salesmen would also even try to convince you to purchase a package. However, before signing on the dotted line, it is best to make the right decision first to reach all your goals.
Where to Find a Trainer?
There are several ways on how you can find a personal trainer. The most typical way is by visiting a local gym around your place. Such facilities can offer you personal training packages for extra cost. If you don’t like the trainer in a particular gym in your place, you might want to consider referrals from some of your friends or relatives who have already considered hiring a trainer before.
You can also look for personal trainers by referring in your yellow pages, local papers or online. There are several trainers who already have their own websites and advertise their services on local papers. Just make sure that the website is reputable and reliable.
Questions to Ask a Certified Personal Trainer
You should take note that you are hiring a certified personal trainer to do a job for you. Therefore, if you want to get the best value, you should start an interview by asking some questions regarding what you need or prefer.
One of the questions you should ask is about the experience of the personal trainer. It is always important to ask about the experience of a professional as there are cases that the quality of services offered may depend on the experience of an expert. If you don’t want to experience low quality service, you should consider asking about the professional’s experience.
Another question you should ask must be related with the programs being offered. Not all certified personal trainers offer the same programs. Therefore, if you want to consider a particular program that would offer you satisfaction, it would be wise to stick with a trainer that offers a wide variety of programs that would meet your preferences. Asking about the facilities they have may also be a good idea as this can make a difference in terms of comfort.
Overall, hiring a certified personal trainer may be a great way to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable while allowing you to target your specific needs. It is also important to do your homework before you hire some to ensure that you acquire the expertise you are paying for. Then, you are more likely to feel satisfied with the money you have spent and you’ll be one step closer to achieve your fitness and health goals.
MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY
Not sure about you but Monday's are always hard for me. I get too comfy during the weekends and if I get into a "vege" mode. . .I feel sorry for Monday. But this weekend, I received a couple of weapons to get me going!
What's great about being a fitness instructor, I get to meet so many different people with so many different goals. On Saturday, I met Robert and he had never taken my class but had been taking BodyPump for quite some time. He whipped out a picture of himself, a before and after pic. Robert had lost over 50 pounds within one year! Robert started to take BodyPump several times a week and he decided to become vegan. He was so excited to be in the class, he just put me in another "state of mind" all weekend. This guy has not only met his goal, he continues to work on himself and maintain what he has accomplished.
My view on the rain this weekend!
I know that a lot of cities are experiencing bad weather right now and it gets tough to get out and do the things you love to do, like RUNNING! But flip the script this year. I did. I was always worried about my hair or clothes getting soaked but now, it's refreshing and makes me feel a little stronger. At the beginning of the year I purchased my new running shoes and was ready! Of course, the first day of my running workout, it rained!!! AHHHH! Normally, I would just wait and be a little discouraged but this time, I layered up and headed out!!! I am so glad that I did because now I gear up no matter if it is raining or not.
I came across this pic on Friday and for some reason it has motivated me in several ways. The girl on the left. . .the hair, the body and the confidence. . .yes, it's a woman in shorts and heels wearing nothing else but her hair. . .but what IF!!! In my mind, I can get there. . .I COULD look like her. . .right! LOL! Well. . .let's just say when I do look in the mirror, I just see "Olive Oil" from Popeye, so I have a long way to go but I found SOMETHING that has motivated me to keep going! LOL! What?
You need a beat to move your feet? RockMyRun has a new mix this morning called "The Juice". It's an 80 minute mix with a smooth blend of swagger-filled Hip-Hop.

Keeping the postal service up & running, one stamp at a time. Usually silly, sometimes cranky, occasionally a mix of the two.
Sent to Germany
Postcrossing news: a postcard I sent to Germany has arrived, and now I get to send a postcard to–(:click:)–Germany! I don’t feel like I am exactly covering the globe here, but I think at this point the system has nearly got me beat down into complacency.
This one goes to Landscheid/Hof-Hau, Germany:
A fun couple on the beach just south of Half Moon Bay, California.
The Postcrosser was very interested in having people tell her about their hobbies, so I picked a card that showed them. It’s fun to create these silly images–but the toys are constantly complaining that these beach days leave them with sand in their joints for weeks afterward. I. Don’t. Care.

For those that missed it last night, there was an incident during the game where Joffrey Lupul tried to throw an elbow in Henrik Sedin’s face, missed, and ended up taking out his own team mate, Nazem Kadri, instead.
Funnily enough CBC didn’t mention this elbow attempt, nor was a replay ever shown. Had this been in the age before social media, it most likely would have seemed like it never happened, but alas, Twitter saw. Twitter sees everything. As a result of the internet’s long memory, we all got to watch as Lupul attempted to throw a cheap shot on Henrik Sedin, replayed countlessly on Vine posts and YouTube videos.
At first I did with this clip the same thing I do with all videos that involve players colliding comically; I giggled and watched as Lupul ran over his own team mate. Over and over again. Many many times. There is a humor element to the fact someone tried to take out a player from the other team only to take out his own guy instead, there just is.
Then I watched the clip for the 32nd time and I realized “wait a minute, that could have really hurt Henrik.”
And I don’t mean that in a facetious way, I honestly was so busy reveling in dastardly plans gone awry that I didn’t bother to think “what if Lupul landed that elbow?” The answer to that question is Henrik’s iron man streak could have been stopped quite quickly were it not for the fact Henrik is a wizard and can apparently see 360 degrees around him and possibly owns a unicorn, thus allowing him the ability to see the elbow coming.
Let me preface this by saying I have nothing against the Leafs. Honestly, I don’t. Some of my best friends are Leafs fans. Ok, wait, that sounds awful. Seriously though, I have nothing against them. They play in the East, the Canucks play in the West, the only time we run across each other is once a year, in which cases the ordeal is over in around 3 hours and we both go on our merry way, as if we just had the worlds most awkward blind date. There is simply no reason for me to hold a grudge against them at this point.
I am also not out to demand suspensions upon every other non-Canuck in the league. I am not trying to prove any point in a crusade to show that other teams need to be punished like the naughty little boys that they are so I can feel better about Kassian’s suspenion earlier this year.
What I do want to have on record is that I believe blatant attempts to hit the head should be suspendable. I don’t care if it was Lupul doing this or if it was Daniel Sedin on a path of revenge against Duncan Keith doing this, if you are caught trying to take someone’s head off and miss, you should still be punished. Why should an injury have to take place before a suspension is handed out? Funnily enough, they have a rule in place for refs to call during the game itself:
So let’s assume the refs missed the Lupul elbow. That doesn’t mean the NHL shouldn’t be suspending players after the fact. Let’s use hyperbole here, what if Henrik Sedin takes his stick, two hands a swing at Lupul’s face in retaliation, misses, and hits Daniel instead and the refs miss it. Do we all sit back and laugh as the two Sedins go “awww shucks” and start picking up Daniel’s teeth from the ice? Or should the NHL hand out a suspension for an attempt to injure? They should probably hand out a suspension to discourage that sort of thinking. It doesn’t make sense that someone would have to potentially concuss another player before they get suspended, yet they can attempt it as many times as they want without risk, until they connect. It’s like telling a player “Well you can try and hit him in the face with that elbow, but we’re only going to punish you if you connect with it, so take as many practice swings as you’d like.”
Throwing an elbow to a players head is not a hockey play. It has not been a hockey play ever since they stopped glorifying Gordie Howe and Mark Messier for having “sharp elbows”. In today’s day and age when brain health is supposedly at the forefront of the NHL player mandate, it makes zero sense to not punish players for attempting illegal shots to the head. They in fact put in a rule specifically for head shots, though I guess technically it only covers head shots that connect.
I have no idea if the NHL plans at looking at the Lupul elbow, or if the Canucks even plan on pursuing that route, but at the end of the day, I hope that they do. As I said, if a Canuck had thrown an elbow like this, I would expect the other team to look for a suspension and I would have no problem with it. Even those most ardent Leafs fans have to admit that Lupul has very few good intentions in mind with that elbow.
In a perfect world the NHL would hand out a token one or two game suspension, so that way it would be on the players official record. This way, any time the player moved they would have to register as an elbow offender and would therefore have the possibility of having a larger suspension hanging over their head should they ever do it again.
Then again, the NHL has never made very much sense, so maybe Henrik Sedin will get suspended for owning an unlicensed unicorn. Stranger things have happened. Even stranger still, the NHL might actually suspend Lupul? We shall see what happens.

The clip was down for only a short while before returning with an adult content advisory note. But the move was enough to raise the hackles of Bowie fans.
A YouTube spokesman told the BBC that "with the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."
The video didn't just raise eyebrows at YouTube, however. The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, told the Telegraph, "Frankly, I don't get offended by such juvenilia -- Christians should have the courage to rise above offensive language, although I hope Bowie will recognise that he may be upsetting some people."

Falling Off The Cliff: Banning Books
Today’s Brew: My last Pumpkin Spice K cup. Must. Get. More.
by Kristen
In this week’s news, the US Government got the band back together. Whatever. Besides the people who were unfairly put out of a job because of their foolishness, I don’ t think many of us noticed they were gone. There was also another group of workers effected by foolishness of big bureaucracy: self published authors.
This is how I understand it: WH Smith, a UK bookseller, received complaints that pornographic books were being marketed along side children’s books. Instead of simply fixing the problem, they took down their entire website so they could remove all self published books.
Again, this is how I understand it: Someone at WH Smith didn’t do their job correctly in the first place, causing books that should never be mixed together to come up together. Instead of fixing the immediate problem, they punished a huge percentage of their vendors who aren’t part of the problem.
Instead of pointing and laughing about how stupid this is, Kobo pulled all their self published books from its UK site. Amazon and Barnes and Noble pulled hard core erotica.
The UK has an Obscene Publications Act, which is vague at best, and the United States Supreme Court famously defines pornography as:
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [“hard-core pornography”]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. –Justice Potter Stewart
So you don’t write Dinosaur Daddy Porn and you’re not self published. Why should you do more than shrug?
Think about building a beautiful house overlooking the ocean. Of course you build a safe distance from the cliff. You need to protect your family, your safety, and your investment. But each storm erodes a little bit of the earth that separates your beautiful family home from falling into the ocean. Your neighbor’s house starts to fall into the ocean. Suddenly, you’re not so safe anymore.
If this seems like an extreme example, this is a real concern on the south shore of Massachusetts, and I’m sure many coastal communities.
When someone draws a line, we all get closer to it every time. First it’s “pornography” or “offensive literature.” But we already decided we can’t define it. So hardcore erotica goes first. So what about all these BDSM books? Are they safe? Let’s look at paranormal romance. We have humans having sex with shapeshifters, or part time animals, so bestiality, or humans having sex with vampires, or dead people, so necrophilia. Pretty offensive when you think of it like that. Now what about extramarital affairs? Sex before marriage? Sex before a certain age? Kissing a boy?
When do we start attacking books that are too violent? Horror? True crime?
See where I’m going here?
I read the Story of O earlier this year, and I thought it was one of the most abusive tales I’d ever encountered. But that’s safe since it has a major publisher. VC Andrews books are still up, in all their incestual glory. So as long as you have the backing of major publishing, your offensive literature is safe. For now anyway. But self published romance authors have had their books removed. Magan Vernon, a contemporary romance author, had her work removed from Kobo. It’s back up in the United States, but she’s not sure about other countries. I’ve read Magan’s work. It’s not pornography.
Romance is the top selling genre in literature today. That includes erotica. I know it’s because women love having the anonymity of reading steamy books on their electronic devices. They don’t have to face a cashier to buy it, and no one can see what they’re reading on the train. If it wasn’t for sex, none of us would be here. Why are we so uptight about human nature? The more uptight we become, the more outlandish people will act in response to the repression.
I don’t condone abusive behavior of any kind. These booksellers should have filtered out books that advocated sexual violence against children in the first place.

17 April 2008
I had a client come to me some months ago and she wanted to do a gut and re-do to the first floor of her house. As we discussed the direction she wanted to go with her renovation, she repeatedly used the term "modern." As in "I want everything to look modern." She didn't show any photos or clippings she'd collected that looked like what she wanted and I didn't have her go through any of my books so she could show me things that she liked the way I usually do. She was pretty determined to get what she wanted and what she wanted was Modern in her words.
I work in how things look, but I have to describe how those things look in pretty exact terms. Modern means something very specific to me. It means no ornamentation, it means simple lines, it means repetitive shapes. Modernism relies on the big picture to set a mood. Modernism asks you to step back and take in the whole thing rather than concentrate on smaller vignettes and details. Modernism is the Guggenheim on Fifth Avenue. Modernism pares down forms to their barest essence and asks questions of me like "how to I maintain total function while using the fewest numbers of shapes?" Modernism makes people live simple and uncluttered lives, modernism makes someone throw away the junk mail as it arrives and pay their bills on time. Modernism is minimalism. Always. I love Modernism. I love it I love it I love it.
I set about a plan for my client and I took a good week-and-a-half to complete some preliminary drawings and find some samples of the finishes I would use in her newly Modern home. Modernism is a classic --it's timeless. I love telling myself that my designs for a client will stand the test of time and I was pretty happy with the direction I was taking this client's home.
She hated it and I had to re-do everything. I lost another week coming up with a new direction. It wasn't a total loss though. Armed with my concept drawings, we now had something to talk about and she could show me what she wanted. Unfortunately, the drawings were examples of exactly what she didn't want. She wanted ornamentation. She wanted small picture stuff. She wanted every sight line in her renovated home to feature a series of focal points that related to one another. She wanted crown moldings and inlaid floors and paneled appliances. She wanted original and she wanted something very now. About five minutes into my presentation I saw that I'd missed the mark completely and I did so because we weren't using the same vocabulary.
She had been using the term Modern to describe Contemporary. Contemporary is a very different thing from Modern. Contemporary means Now. Contemporary isn't timeless and a classic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Contemporary, it's just another thing all together. Contemporary is never minimalist and that's the easiest way to identify it.
Using architecture as an example again, if Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim on the Upper East Side is Modern, then Michael Graves' Swan Hotelat Disney is Contemporary. The Swan Hotel is a marvel --it's impossible to walk around it when you're in a hurry. There is so much going on with it, yet all of its parts combine into a cohesive whole. As with anything Michael Graves designs, it has a sense of whimsy about it that makes it sit perfectly in the middle of an amusement park. The Guggenheim on the other hand sits on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 89th Street in a neighborhood lined with tall apartment buildings and across from the leafy expanse of Central Park. Its rounded lines form a perfect bridge between the hard surfaces and lines of the buildings on the east side of Fifth Avenue and the trees in the park on the west side. It's also impossible to hurry past, but because its simple facade contrasts so strongly with its surroundings.
The lesson? If you're going to embark on a renovation and you're going to talk to a designer about it, start a clip file of things you like. Be sure that you and whoever you're talking to share a vocabulary. My lesson? Anybody who comes to me without such a clip file is going to spend some time in my design library. Clients and I need to speak the same language, even if we have to make one up.

Make Enthusiasm Work For You
What contributes frowning to one’s face? Is it not unhappiness? This condition of being is one of the numerous reasons why men and women who have emotional collapse put their lives in jeopardy. When deeper unhappiness or depression consumes the individual, disease and disorder clog his mind and emotions.
Many men and women who suffer from depression or extraordinary unhappiness are affected with the way they deal with their fellow men. Depressed men and women are sensitive and require specialized attention. At times, depression swallows them and affects their relationship with other people, especially their families and those who live close to them.
On the contrary, enthusiasm is a feeling comparable to happiness but the feeling involved is extreme. Enthusiasm is often associated with divine inspiration, an extreme emotion deeper than happiness itself. Even so, our society these days hinders men and women from being enthusiasts. Instead, many are grieving and discouraged with what they see in the surroundings and in the entire world. Many people who were victimized by wars and social problems find enthusiasm impossible to experience. Why, even the richest people on earth feel sad at times. If this is true, is it correct then that enthusiasm is elusive?
Many sigh because of unhappiness and bad experiences. We can say that indeed, happiness or enthusiasm is a relative state of being. This is the reason why many people retreat to illicit drugs, rationalizing that they can escape the bitter experiences they are experiencing. They thought they could fake happiness for a few hours. Little did they know that no matter how burdensome life is, happiness is still within reach and waiting to be rediscovered. How can you nurture and contribute to enthusiasm and happiness?
Set goals and pursue life’s purpose. Happiness cannot be achieved in a moment so beginning early means experiencing happiness the soonest.
Take away all the bitterness you kept for years. Learn to say “sorry” and accept your limitations.
Keep your life uninvolved by allotting time for you to relax and delight in beneficial leisure activities.
Learn to develop self-worth. Love your deeds and do favors for yourself. Adopt changes if essential and if you feel like you are weary in doing routine activities.
Humbly accept others` support and enjoy small gifts from them.
Try rendering support or reciprocating the kindness shown to you.
Develop hobbies that will contribute to your self-worth. Many women and housewives, for example, love gardening. They at times talk to their plants. They find this satisfying in many ways.
Read some inspiring books. Keep simple but heartening messages and share these with others. Remember that giving brings joy to every individual; learn the value of generosity at all times.

[Screening up-regulated genes in hepatic stellate cells treated with PDGF-BB using suppression subtractive hybridization technique].
To construct a subtractive cDNAs library of up-regulated genes in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique, to clone the up-regulated genes associated with its regulation effects, and to elucidate the mechanism of the molecular biology of hepatic fibrosis involved in PDGF-BB. The mRNA was isolated from HSCs stimulated with PDGF-BB and controlled with identical cells untreated with PDGF-BB, and then the cDNAs were synthesized. The cDNAs were designated as tester and driver. After being digested by restriction enzyme Rsa I, small-sized cDNAs were obtained. Tester cDNA was then divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor 1 and adaptor 2, individually. After tester cDNA was hybridized with driver cDNA twice and underwent two times of nested PCR, the amplified cDNA fragments were subcloned into pGEM-Teasy vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain DH5alpha. The cDNA was sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR. The subtractive cDNAs library of up-regulated genes in HSCs stimulated with PDGF-BB was constructed successfully. The amplified library contained 102 positive clones. Colony PCR showed that 93 clones contained 200-1000 bp inserts. Sequence analysis was performed in 31 clones randomly, and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method and searched for homologous DNA sequence from GenBank; altogether 13 coding sequences were obtained, which were known ones. The genes mainly included voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), heat shock protein 47 and RAN-member RAS oncogene family genes. Acting as one of the most effective mitogens, PDGF-BB up-regulated some gene expressions during stimulation of the HSCs, including some cell growth associated proteins, some proteins participating in intracellular metabolism and some molecular chaperone proteins. This work brings some new clues for studying the molecular biological mechanism involved in the up-regulated genes in PDGF-BB transactivated HSCs in hepatic fibrosis.

Al-Qaeda claims responsibility for Ivory Coast resort attack
Ivory Coast: Al-Qaeda affliated militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack at a beach resort in Ivory Coast in West Africa on Sunday.
The incident occured when a group of six armed assailants opened fire on civilians at a beach resort on Ivory Coast, killing at least 16 people including 14 civilians and two security personnel.
The assailants targetted beach goers in the resort of Grand Bassam, which is located nearly 40Km east of the country's economic capital of Abidjan.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Four of the dead were Westerners, including a French and a German national. The gunmen have been "neutralised", BBC quoted officials as saying.
Côte d’Ivoire or the Ivory Coast is a west African nation famous for its beach resorts and rainforests. It was a French colony till 1960. Some of the famous landmarks to visit include Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, St. Paul's Cathedral, Reserve Naturelle du Banco and Zoo Nationale d'Abidjan.

The latest cheeky British can-do comedy/drama, Made in Dagenham, depicts
a
real-life, groundbreaking strike for equal pay with assembly line
efficiency. It slavishly follows the well-trod Erin Brockovich
route with the self-realization of a working-class heroine, at least one
you-go-girl moment, an outcome that’s never in doubt, and an illustrious cast spouting dialogue
lifted from protest signs.
In 1968, the Ford Automobile
manufacturing plant in the London suburb of Dagenham is the fourth
largest factory in the world, employing 55,000 men and only 168 women
assigned to sewing car-seat upholstery. Laboring in sweatshop
conditions, the women, segregated from the male employees, strip
to their skivvies because of the stifling heat and whip out the
umbrellas to catch the rain under the leaky roof. When the women vote to
negotiate with management for a reclassification from unskilled to
semi-skilled labor, and thus higher pay, management perfunctory denies
their demand, a decision rubber-stamped by their union. But during a
coffee shop tête-à-tête between workers representative Rita O’Grady and
a union
official (Bob Hoskins, again in avuncular, slightly bumbling mode), he
confides to her the real reason the union allows the company to pay
women far less than their male counterparts—gender. This sets Rita off to call
for a one-day work stoppage, which will drag out for weeks, shutting
down the factory completely.
Had the screenplay zeroed in
more on Rita, instead of a scattering of subplots, the film might have
earned the cheers it aspires to. Rita’s son attends a posh school where
a snobbish, draconian headmaster canes his
students. Her best friend’s husband suffers from posttraumatic stress
syndrome, while her fellow comrade-on-the-picket-line, bleach-blond Sandra (Jaime Winstone), dreams of a modeling career.
Not at all last or least, a saucy brunette bombshell,
Brenda (Andrea Riseborough), sleeps with apparently all of the delivery
men in England. For a film encouraging the empowerment of women, Sandra
and Brenda are mostly decorative, especially Sandra in hot pants. (Most
of the other women are dressed in frumpy clothes that even Vera Drake
would reject.) Because the focus juggles from one story line to another, the
film consigns the women’s strike to the background.
It’s not obvious why her fellow
workers have elevated the mousy Rita as their negotiator. She has no
bearing of a natural leader. All it takes is an exchange of knowing
looks from her colleagues to select her as their rep. Sally
Hawkins seems to intentionally underplay her role, lowering her gumption
quota from Happy-Go-Lucky several notches. She remains
self-effacing and matter of fact even when she has to face down
opponents in her own union. As a result, there’s never a singular,
galvanizing moment, like Sally Field in Norma Rae standing on top of her work
station calling for unionization. Made in Dagenham leaves it to Miranda Richardson, as the Secretary of
State for Employment and Productivity Barbara Castle, to seize the
audience’s hearts and minds. She triumphs despite having the clunkiest dialogue.
But whatever the film’s faults, they
are a small concession in order to see
Richardson in a role of significance. (She appears in the new Harry
Potter film for literally a second.)
A
minor brouhaha in the British press has erupted over the film’s harsh 15
certification, banning that age and younger from seeing the film.
Similarly, it has been slapped with an R rating in the U.S.
for the same reason—the occasionally colorful language. Unfortunately,
that’s the audience most likely to find Dagenham a revelation of
some sort and less a remodeled
version of what has been better told before—here’s to you, Norma Rae.Kent TurnerNovember 22, 2010

On the other hand....
No, this is not a trail running injury, but a surgical procedure I had planned on.
However, what I didn't plan on ... is the difficulty i have using my left hand on everything while being right-handed. It is all backwards. I called my hot oatmeal breakfast this morning ... porridge.
WHO DOES THAT!?!?
I instantly blamed it on my left-handedness and how it is rewiring my brain.
When I was little, I used to practice writing left-handed. And sometimes when one of the kids in my class happened to glance my way while we were sitting at our desks, I would exchange my pencil with my left hand and continue writing, hoping they would think I was a lefty.
It paid off.
I have written a few checks with my left hand during these last few days and had to sign my name on hospital forms and I'm quite pleased with the results!
But. I haven't mastered washing my hair yet.
I miss running. I can not run until four days before my half-marathon race and I try not to worry about that. I do, though. The race is April 17th.
It keeps surfacing to my thoughts. How well will I run? Can I keep the pace? It's a mental game. One that I don't want to play because it's a game where I always lose.
Now you know what I live with every day - being a Lefty. You probably started to notice how EVERYTHING is designed for right-handed folks: knife blades, can openers, cameras, watches, doors opening, to name just a few! It's a wonder we lefties are in our right minds :-)
Hi Kate! Nice to see you here! I ABSOLUTELY noticed how we live in a right-handed world. (The CAMERA was a HUGE OBSERVATION!!!!) WOW! I guess the positive side is that your left hand is the strong, dominant hand to be able to over-ride some of those hardships ... versus ... using my weak left uncoordinated hand to do the same. But yeahhh... happy you are still in your right mind. (or left?)
Hi Bethany... actually.. it's all still numb and throbbing. Feels like I'm carrying around dead weight since I can't feel it, but yes.. it's healing and hopefully soon, it will feel normal again. Imagine.. novacaine.. and you are smiling but your mouth is so numb, it feels strange!!! :O) Thanks for your kind good wishes!
Sorry I hadn't seen this before Shawn!...yeah good goin' on the lefty thing! it's quite an education on how we can take right-handedness for granted, but also kinda fun to experience learning new motor skills! :o) I'm glad the pinky is healing okay!

Apple has inadvertently made it easy for spammers to create a database of MobileMe email addresses.
The issue points to a future of more junk mail for Mac heads. They are already being targetted by MobileMe phishing scams.
The email harvesting issue arises because every MobileMe user gets a public idisk file-sharing site. These …
PA announcement
It does seem a little naive doesnt it?
I know that Mac users generally feel that SPAM, Trojans and Virii happen to other people and, I'm sure, the OS is probably a lot more secure than windows (although I don’t know this for sure) but to (effectively) publish the email address of every user of this service is taking complacency a little too far?
Not yet
... but ...
@Andy: whatever the iDisk address is, in my view it should not be possible to conclude the account name or email address from that. If I want friends and relatives to navigate to my shared folders, I will send them a link. And I want to decide who is allowed in. Is iDisk open to the world by default?
@Derek Hellam
! crawler
Read the full article (you too, El Reg !). It's not a crawler.
What this iDisk thing gives is a way of verifying a guess about a potential user name @mac.com. So you can generate a million possible address, then weed out the ones with no associated account easily.
The only reason I'd expect this to be worth the hassle is if Apple block IPs that send too much bounced email.
Re: It's a problem, but -
Not again...
Earlier in the year el Reg was reporting on Apple's security folks deciding against patching a security hole in Safari because they didn't really think it mattered. On top of that Paypal blocked Apple's browser, IIRC, for being too insecure, and now MobileMe is sticking a big note on its users' backs saying "Spam me!". Not to mention the bundling of MobileMe into all new iTunes installs whether you use it or not, and attempting to get Safari downloaded onto people's PCs earlier in the year too - it all reeks of bloat and force-feeding people their different solutions and disregard for consumer choice.
They certainly make a shiny, easy-to-use OS on such limited amounts of hardware that it never has to worry about drivers or incompatibility, and I was practically convinced that I was going to buy one last year. Now, however, I'm starting to think Apple need to step back and rethink what they see their customers as, because if the answer is "numbers on our bank balance" then they're just going to get closer and closer to being the people they currently oppose.
I can only hope that's not the answer, and this year's problems are 'bumps in the road' as Apple get used to being popular and realise it isn't all about people worshipping you and feeding you money. We'll see, I guess...
With great power comes great responsibility! And a cool costume... But Jobs doesn't have one of those yet... His ego's already inflated enough as is, right? :D
beautiful
Safari - Ayteer.
Aetyr, Safari isn't blocked, it works and has worked.
Here's the quote from the WSJ you may have misread:
Update: We just spoke to PayPal. It seems we in the media are reading too much into this. It will block people using old browsers and old operating systems, but contrary to many reports it will not block Apple’s Safari browser.
As for harvesting MoblieMe addresses, this is HARDLY a new tactic, my old Mindspring account (Or before that, Netcom) over TEN years ago had my username in it, and was an easy way to figure out my email. You need to get your tech news from more than the Reg if that's what you're doing, their reporting is not somehow less flawed than others :) As for spam, from what I know of friends who have .mac/MobileMe the spam filtering is very good. Personally I don't use M-Me, have no use for it.
So last decade
The ability of bot armies to spam all permutations of e-mail addresses in parallel makes pre-validation unnecessary. Many spamming bots are also aware of misconfigured/broken mail servers that will route undeliverable mail to a second e-mail address to double the odds of delivery.
I doubt Apple's WebDAV is implemented in a way that allows harvesting of unknown accounts. WebDAV is a resource hog even when used correctly. Allowing deep traversal from the top level would wipe out their servers in no time.
If there's going to be WebDAV abuse, it will be for illegal file sharing. Will Apple play whack-a-mole with everybody using "12345" as their password or will they do like Google and let an algorithm badly guess what account is being abused?
The setup and lack of need for indexes
I'm presuming the accounts are setup something like this:
http://idisk.example.com/~username/ (I don't know the exact url) where username is also the email address for the user. simply scraping the internet for such urls would bypass the need for some form of an index of all the idisk accounts. However, it wouldn't surprise me if there is some form of an index somewhere as well.
bogus
Well I get 10 x as much spam on my gmail account as I do on .mac - and I've never distributed the gmail address - so I say this is yet another bogus Apple security story. Sorry the sky isn't falling, yet again.
spam filter
.Mac accounts have been harvested for ages
Somebody has indeed been after .mac accounts for some time now. In the last 3 years I've gotten 5 or 6 password reset request emails from the .Mac system just out of the blue. The headers all say it is in fact from the .Mac system, so someone's been requesting resets on my account.
Never ever!
Whatever...
"Well I get 10 x as much spam on my gmail account as I do on .mac - and I've never distributed the gmail address - so I say this is yet another bogus Apple security story. Sorry the sky isn't falling, yet again."
@ Andrew Rennard
I agree 100%. Wouldn't it be easier/faster to simply harvest email addresses by sending an email to every possible combination of characters @me.com, rather than setting up a bot to hit every possible combination of characters at the iDisk web address???
Hmmm
Hmmm, new line for PC to Mac "Gee your Mobile Me is such a great system truly fantastic , but its best feature is that it does not work with either "Vista" or "Windows 7" and oh have a nice phishing day too !" .
Nope
Have to agree with the other users that actually have a MobileMe account, I've recieved 0 spam mails during my 1½ of having the service. Getting huge loads to my Gmail/Hotmail, it would be a lot easier to just spider the web for emails or simply guess the addresses than using the idisk folder for this.

Samm Adams
I LOVE being a part of the Quick Country family. I grew up in the area, and feel truly blessed to be a part of Rochester radio! I'm in love with radio, and country music is my favorite, so I couldn't ask for a better job. :) When you don't hear me infecting your airways, chances are you'll catch me on a softball field. I'm a tomboy who's obsessed with shoes, esp heels (don't ask me how that worked out). I've met the man of my dreams, and now am a step mom to the sweetest little boy! I also spend a lot of time with my "mini me" sister. I'm an auntie to two beautiful boys (SUCH a cool feeling). My dogs are pretty much the cutest on the face of the planet. And, the person I admire the most is my grandmother. She is no longer with us, but I know she's smiling down on me. She is the reason I joined the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, so I can help find a cure for that terrible disease. I'm the Media Chair for the organization, and I love being such a big part of a great cause.
I found this hilarious list that quite literally sums up my personality and habits. Nothing is worst than serving nightmares, I'm a pro at carrying several glasses, and I'm always going to call you out if you don't tip well...
The Price Is Right is sticking with it's new trend! In 2012, they hired their first male model in the show's 40 year history! Now that he's leaving, it's up to us ladies to decide who should replace him...
Times sure have changed since I was an adorable little Brownie! Before the jock in me took over, the badges ruled my life. I spent several years at camps, making cute little projects after school, selling cookies, and growing into a lovely young lady (I like to think)! Speaking of the cookies: the main fundraising effort of the Girlscout's, my sister and I kicked butt (mainly because my grandma owned a bar, and made sure she bought enough to have on hand all year round - thank you grandma!!)
I have three stinky brothers and an even stinkier father! Every year, as we gather around the table, you are guaranteed to lose your appetite at one point because of their uncontrollable gas... UNTIL NOW!!!
I would definitely classify myself as an obsessive shopper. I enjoy searching out the bargains, I'm notorious for stopping to look at something when it flashes at me in the window, and my endless supply of boots and clothes are the bulk of my possessions! BUT, Black Friday has NEVER interested me!
