Illustration showing a formation of Bristol 'Bulldog' biplanes and a typical Bristol radial aero engine. The Schneider Trophy race was one of the earliest contests for pilots. Starting with the first event in Monaco in 1913, the race, sponsored by Jacques Schneider, was intended to encourage seaplane development. The event was always keenly fought and led to many pioneering innovations in aircraft design and engine power. Twelve contests were held between 1913 and 1931 in England, Italy, France and the United States. The 1931 event took place at Calshot, near Southampton on 12th September and was won by a Supermarine S6B seaplane piloted by Lieutenant John Boothman. This was the third consecutive British win, meaning they retained the trophy permanently.

Do You Have Any Creative Writing Advice?
I was asked for some of my own writing advice, but I don’t know that I really have anything concrete. I don’t like posts that tell you things like “never end your sentences with a preposition” or “don’t edit while you’re writing” or “only use dialogue tags ‘said’ and ‘replied'” all of which are ridiculous to me. Everything has a time and place, but I don’t want to be one of those annoying “follow your heart” people. So, I’m going to try.
* Certain narration styles drive me crazy.
1) The omniscient narrator. The omniscient narrator makes me feel like I have ADD. Well, I do, but it makes me cognizant of it. I find the thing most difficult about an omniscient narrator is that it’s difficult for me, as a reader, to find a focus. This narrator frequently jumps back and forth between the personal thoughts of one person to another, and it’s difficult to separate the overwhelming knowledge and what each character knows and sees.
2) First person present. I understand imminence, wanting to move the story quicker, but… it bothers me. I feel like if you’re a person telling a story, obviously, you’re telling it at a later date and past narration would be more correct. It’s just a pet peeve. The Hunger Games novels were particularly challenging to get through due to my thoughts on this.
* Do the Work
So, I lied to you. This is one of the rules. It’s not really a writing rule, but a preparation rule. Do the work. Know your characters inside and out. You have to be able to put yourself into their shoes and see things not only from their perspective, but how each character views your other characters. Know your villain. Know your world and its rules. It’s easiest to answer the big six: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? There shouldn’t be a question that you can’t answer. And “just because” doesn’t count as an answer.
* Dialogue tags
Occasionally, I like the peruse some of the writing blogs on WordPress, and I’ve noticed something interesting. Whenever anyone is giving advice on how to write dialogue, I see this bit of advice: only use the dialogue tags, “said” and “asked”, and use “replied” sparingly. In the years that I’ve been taking writing courses, this piece of advice has never come up (at least not while I was paying attention). In fact, it always seemed to me like the exact opposite was required. So, I had to wonder, were these people on crack?
As I’ve begun to dig a little further, asking both writers and readers, the logic of this advice began to come out. A reader told me that if the novel was full of other dialogue tags, it tended to sound amateur. A writer described a class where the teacher berated him for sounding like a fourth grader, who just discovered dialogue tags.
So, my problem with it is this. “Said” and “asked” convey virtually nothing. From a communication standpoint, it’s a nightmare. I’ve brought up communication before when I discussed author intent. When encoding a message, only ten percent of that communication is verbal. Everything else is nonverbal. How many times has someone told you, “It’s not what you said, but how you said it”? That means, when writing, ninety percent of the message isn’t being received and must be replaced. Use of other dialogue tags such as “muttered”, “groaned”, “whispered”, and “whined” are more efficient than a long description.
Also, dialogue tags have other uses other than indicating who is speaking. Sometimes they provide a longer more literal pause affecting flow and pacing. It provides negative space in dialogue. Any artist knows that the negative space is just as important as positive space. I do agree that having a dialogue tag for every piece of speech is ludicrous, but if there is a change or greater purpose for it being there, I say knock yourself out.
* A Little Bit of Poetry Can Go a Long Way
Be creative in your descriptions. I’m not talking a constant “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” or giant extended metaphors, but saying that someone waddles away like a penguin dancing on hot coals can offer a strong mental image for that extra punch. Why a penguin would be dancing on hot coals? I don’t know, but it’s the best I can do off the top of my head.
2 thoughts on “Do You Have Any Creative Writing Advice?
1. I love dialogue tags and find it very hard to follow dialogue without them. I get lost easy and have to re-read passages a dozen times asking myself, “Okay, now who is saying what again??” It gets really annoying.
Creating characters and building worlds, “doing the work,” as you so rightly put it is such fun! I don’t know why anyone would skip those parts.
• I was just dumbfounded when I saw how common it was to tell people not to use dialogue tags. I just kept thinking that it couldn’t be real; it’s not real advice that people are giving. I understand not wanting to break out your thesaurus for different ways to say “said”, but sheesh. If I have to read “said” five times on a page, it’s going to start getting annoying.

The question: What precisely is the role of an ideological think tank when a president of like ideology takes office?
The answer? Elusive, at least initially, even for the conservative bellwether Heritage Foundation.
During the 1980s, Heritage luxuriated in an eight-year honeymoon with President Ronald Reagan, essentially writing the president's policy scripts and basking in the favor of the GOP conservative movement.
Expecting to continue the ideological love-fest with Reagan's successor George Bush the elder, the foundation surprisingly found itself ideologically estranged from Bush I. Increasingly frustrated and critical of his policies, Heritage, in a surreal turn, then found its criticisms also being voiced by then-candidate Bill Clinton.
However, in opposing the policies of the elder Bush, Heritage may have discovered the key to retaining power, influence and relevance for all conservative think tanks during a conservative administration: Strategic Criticism.
With a fresh start under president George W. Bush, Stuart Butler, Heritage's vice president of domestic and economic policy studies, appreciates the opportunity -- and the need -- to sustain itself in the conservative atmosphere by actively disapproving of the conservative administration when it disagrees. "Heritage is an institution that realizes we are in a certain situation that we have to capitalize on without being captured by it."
Butler's statement wholly encapsulates the dangers inherent in having an ideological collaborator in the Oval Office. To be in the opposition is straightforward -- a think tank combats everything it disagrees with and gives sparse praise to measures it supports. And to be in the opposition is also to be visible and vigorous: a think tank opposed to a sitting administration's politics is perpetually embattled, perpetually energized, and perpetually fighting to get its critical message out to the media, to the party faithful, and to the public.
But if an institution is seen as too supportive it can become irrelevant. As Joseph Lehman, vice president of the conservative Mackinac Center in Michigan, puts it: "if two people agree on everything, then one person is not needed."
So in order to maintain their clout, conservative think tanks must be sure to criticize a conservative president. This is not just bluster, however. Butler, in fact, views criticism as a strategic necessity. "Criticism must be done, not for its own sake, but only when it is critically needed and is the best way to move an issue forward."
Mike Frank, Heritage's vice president of government relations, views the role more pragmatically: "It can work to the advantage of someone ... in the administration" to have a friendly critic, he says. "For example, on the Bush tax cut, there are those who say it is too large and others too small. That puts the president in the advantageous position of being somewhere in the middle and appearing to take a more moderate and rational approach."
This approach is not limited to conservatives or Republicans. Nor is it limited to tactical gains. Strategic Criticism can actually help an incumbent president if it remains focused on larger issues and the consequences of policies over the long haul. As president of the new Democrat Progressive Policy Institute, Will Marshall targeted his think tank's sometimes critical message to new Democrat president Bill Clinton. He notes that "governing is very much an issue of dealing with the crisis as hand. What think tanks can best provide is strategic and long-term thinking that is not in high demand when the Administration is dealing with the issue of the day ... There is not a lot of time for an administration to think creatively while in office."
There can also be gains for a think tank when it plays the role of critic to incumbent friends. When the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy was formed in 1988, among its most ardent supporters was then-state Senate Majority Leader John Engler. After Engler won the governorship in 1990 and subsequently enacted a number of legislative proposals that originated at Mackinac, political watchers expected Mackinac to regularly treat the new governor with kid gloves.
However, when Engler developed a program of tax credits and abatements that benefited businesses but required new state bureaucracies, Mackinac lambasted the governor in a 1995 study and launched a full-scale media campaign to kill the proposal. Though Engler's proposal eventually passed, the critical Mackinac study gained support among state legislators and has been cited as a key factor in Governor Engler's first legislative defeats.
The think tank's opposition also had some unexpected results. "After we launched the study critical of the Governor's proposal, one senator's chief of staff told me there would be soap on the windows of the Mackinac Center within 18 months," meaning the institution would be closed because of its public opposition, says Lehman. Instead, Mackinac's reputation soared and media outlets began to pay attention to the fledgling think tank.
Lehman notes that "after our opposition we became universally recognized as an independent voice for policy critique," compelling even the editor of the liberal Detroit Free Press to acknowledge their independence from the governor.
Since then, Mackinac's employee roster has increased from 10 to 30; its annual budget from $600,000 to $3.2 million; and it has built and paid for a $2.4 million headquarters -- all while the short-sighted senate chief of staff remains in the same job. Referring to that individual's prediction that Mackinac would be out of business with "soap on the windows," Lehman reports that he "gave the chief of staff his commemorative bar of soap a long time ago."
The public -- and some politicians -- may expect conservative think tanks to play the same role as political parties, bolstering a chief executive's proposals even if they oppose them. However, more seem to be realizing that strategic criticism can play an even stronger role in furthering principled ideology.
Properly done, criticism can encourage a president further along ideological lines, signal where retreat is expected, help to create a perception of moderation on the President's part, or provide long-term thinking for an administration forced to work on short term issues.(c) 2001 United Press International

देश में भले ही अयोध्या में राम मंदिर निर्माण के मसले पर बहस चल रही हो, मगर मध्यप्रदेश में श्रीलंका में प्रस्तावित सीता मंदिर के निर्माण ने सियासी माहौल गरमा दिया है. राज्य की पूर्ववर्ती शिवराज सरकार द्वारा श्रीलंका में सीता का मंदिर बनाए जाने के लिए गए फैसले पर वर्तमान सरकार द्वारा उठाए गए सवाल पर राज्य में सियासी तूफान खड़ा हो गया है. पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान ने कमलनाथ सरकार पर जनभावना को ठेस पहुंचाने का आरोप लगाया है, वहीं जनसंपर्क मंत्री पी.सी. शर्मा ने चौहान को झूठी घोषणाएं कर वाहवाही लूटने वाला बताया.
शिवराज सरकार ने वर्ष 2010 में श्रीलंका में उस स्थान पर सीता मंदिर बनाने का ऐलान किया था, जहां रावण ने उन्हे बंधक बनाकर रखा था. उन्होंने इस मंदिर के लिए एक करोड़ रुपये देने का ऐलान किया था. इस दिशा में बीते नौ साल में कोई काम नहीं हुआ है. इसीको लेकर वर्तमान राज्य सरकार एक अधिकारी को श्रीलंका भेजने की तैयारी में है. इस अधिकारी को श्रीलंका भेजा जाता, इससे पहले ही सियासी घमासान तेज हो गया है.
पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज ने मंगलवार को ट्वीट कर कहा, 'कमलनाथ सरकार के अफसर श्रीलंका जाकर सर्वे कराकर वेरिफाई करेंगे कि माता सीता का अपहरण हुआ था या नहीं. मित्रो, इससे ज्यादा हास्यास्पद कुछ हो सकता है क्या? पूरी दुनिया जिस सत्य को जानती है, उसकी जांच कराने की बात करके कमलनाथ सरकार ने करोड़ों लोगों की भावनाओं को ठेस पहुंचाई है.'
वहीं राज्य सरकार के मंत्री शर्मा ने अधिकारी को श्रीलंका भेजने के सरकार के निर्णय की पुष्टि करते हुए कहा कि शिवराज ने लोगों की प्रशंसा बटोरने के लिए श्रीलंका का दौरा किया था और वादा किया कि जिस जगह पर रावण ने सीता को बंधक बनाया था, वहां पर मंदिर बनाया जाएगा, मगर एक भी फाइल ऐसी नहीं मिली जिसमें वहां मंदिर बनाने के प्रयासों का जिक्र हो. मगर कमलनाथ सरकार ने रामपथ गमन का काम शुरू किया है, जहां से लोग गुजर सकेंगे.

Research Suggests That Organic Food Actually Isn't Healthier
Categories: Edible News

So that extra two dollars you're spending on organic produce might not actually be worth it. According to some researchers at Stanford University, organic food is no more nutritious than non-organic food.
"People choose to buy organic foods for many different reasons. One of them is perceived health benefits," Crystal Smith-Spangler, who led a team of researchers from Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care, told Reuters.
They found there was no difference in the amount of vitamins between organic and non-organic foods, and the only nutrient difference was slightly more phosphorus in the organic products.
Regular produce is more likely to have detectable pesticide resides compared to organic products. And organic chicken and pork are 33 percent less likely to carry bacteria than conventionally produced meat.
However, it is uncommon for either organic or conventional foods to exceed the allowable limits for pesticides, so it's not exactly clear whether a difference in residues would have an effect on health.

सपा के वोट बैंक पर भाजपा की नजर, जिले में तीन हजार यादवों को पार्टी से जोड़ने का लक्ष्य!
सपा के वोट बैंक और भाजपा की नजर, जिले में तीन हजार यादवों को पार्टी से जोड़ने का लक्ष्य!
भदोही. २०१९ के चुनाव में ५१ फीसदी वोट हासिल करने के साथ चुनावी मैदान में उतरी भाजपा ने बड़ी जीत हासिल करते हुए देश में बड़ी बहुमत के सरकार बनाते हुए अब आने वोट प्रतिशत को और भी आगे बढ़ाने में जुटी हुई है। यूपी में २०२२ में होने वाले विधानसभा चुनाव में अपने वोट प्रतिशत की बढ़ोत्तरी के लिए भाजपा की तैयारी जोरशोर से चल रही है। ऐसे में भाजपा की निगाह सपा के यादव वोट बैंक पर है और पूरे प्रदेश में जहां भाजपा यादवों को पार्टी से जोड़ने में जुटी हुई है वहीं शुरुआती दौर में अकेले भदोही में भाजपा ने तीन हजार से अधिक यादव सदस्य जोड़ने का रखा है और इसकी जिम्मेदारी नगर विकास राज्य मंत्री गिरीश यादव को दिया है।
गिरीश यादव इसे लेकर बेहद ही गम्भीर हैं और वो जिले का दौरा कर कई बार गांव गांव जाकर लोगों को पार्टी से भी जोड़ रहे हैं। पार्टी सूत्रों का दावा है कि भाजपा अभी अपने सदस्यता अभियान के सुरुआत दौर में कम से कम तीन हजार यादवों को पार्टी से जोड़ेगी इसके बाद नए बने सदस्यों के माध्यम से इस अभियान को और धार देते हुए इस संख्या को बढ़ाएंगे। भदोही जिले के तीनों विधानसभा में यादव मतदाताओं की एक अच्छी तादात है जो चुनाव में किसी का भी खेल बना और बिगड़ सकते हैं। इसके साथ ही विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले होने वाले पंचायत चुनाव पर भी भाजपा की पैनी निगाह है।
क्योंकि पिछले बार भाजपा ने पंचायत चुनाव में भाग लिया था जिससे भाजपा के पंचायत चुनाव लड़ने में कोई संशय नही है। अगर यादवों का झुकाव पार्टी की तरफ बढ़ता है तो इसका लाभ विधानसभा से पहले भाजपा पंचायत चुनाव में ले लेगी। माना जा रहा है भाजपा सिर्फ यादवों को सदस्य ही नही बनयेगी बल्कि उन्हें पार्टी में महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेदारी भी देगी।

Ziggy Hood has shined in his second year as a defensive lineman for the Washington football team.
I caught up with Hood, who is of half Mexican, on Wednesday before the team's game against the Cardinals to get to know him a little better. You should know that his government name is Evander but his Mexican grandmother couldn't pronounce Evander so she called him Ziggy, her favorite cartoon character.
Chris: A lot of people don't understand that when you play nose or play a three technique that you aren't going to get 10-15 tackles a game. Explain what goes into being great at that position.
Ziggy: Well, a lot of people don't realize that there's a difference between a 3-4 and 4-3 defense. There are sometimes when I get graded like a 90, and I've only had one or two tackles.
Chris: You are a great guy, large in size and you also got some modeling moves. What's going on in the picture on the runway during the event the team held?
Ziggy: Nah, man I ain't modeling or nothing. I was just doing what I was told man for the event we had. I just wasn't trying to slip and fall.
Chris: You've been a big advocate for bringing awareness to autism and fighting it. One of your two sons was born with the condition. How has that changed your life?
Ziggy: It makes me slow down in life and appreciate the small things and really understand and hear the voices of other families that are going through the same things. Especially helps to talk to men who are in that same situation. So whenever I can sit back and hear stories... you know it's kinda humbling. No matter how much money you got, whatever status you got, life happens. And it hits you hard sometimes and sometimes you need that pickup. I get that support everyday from the guys who say, 'Hey thank you for being such and such, I appreciate it.'

फाजिलका-(दलीप दत्त)-फाजिल्का में शुक्रवार को बेमौसमी बारिश और ओलावृष्टि ने कई गाँवों में कहर बरसाया अौर किसानों की सैंकड़ों एकड़ फसल बर्बाद हो गई, जिस कारण पहले से ही घाटे में जा रही किसानी को भारी आर्थिक नुकसान पहुँचा। प्राप्त जानकारी के अनुसार प्रात: ५.4५ पर तेज बारिश और अंधेरी के साथ ओलावृष्टि शुरू हो गई जो कि ३० मिन्ट तक जारी रही। इस बारिश, ओलावृष्टि और अंधेरी के कारण फाजिल्का में सभी की फसलें प्रभावित हुई गाँव शामा खानका, लालाेवाली, तुर्कां वाली और आसपास इलाके में हुई ओलावृष्टि ने धान की फसल को तबाह कर दिया। गाँव शामा खानका के गाँव प्रेम चंद, सुरेश कुमार ने बताया कि खेतों में कुछ ही दिनों में पक कर तैयार होेने वाली धान की फसल को बारिश और ओलावृष्टि ने भारी नुकसान पहुँचाया है। किसान प्रेम चंद ने बताया कि इस बार धान की फसल की पैदावार अधिक हाेने के आसार थे परन्तु ओलावृष्टि ने करीब ३० से ४० फीसदी फसल का नुकसान कर दिया है। इन गाँवाें में ओलावृष्टि और तेज हवाओं ने खेतों में धान की फसल को बिछा दिया है जिस कारण पैदावार कम होने के आसार बन गए हैं। इसके अलावा ओलावृष्टि ने हरे चारे की फसल के पत्ते भी तहस-नहस कर दिए। फसल के हुए नुकसान के लिए भारतीय किसान यूनियन एकता सिद्धूपुर के जिला प्रधान प्रगट सिंह चक्कपक्खी ने ओलावृष्टि से प्रभावित किसानों के लिए मांग की कि पंजाब सरकार द्वारा प्रभावित फसलों की गिरदावरी करवाकर उनको मुआवजा दिया जाये ताकि जो उसका आर्थिक नुकसान हुआ है उसकी भरपाई हो सके।

The Moon Motor Car Company was founded in 1905 in St. Louis. Most of the cars it built were powered by a Continental engine. In 1929, the company unveiled a luxury car called the Windsor. This Windsor was also equipped with a Continental engine, but in contrast to the Moon, the new car was provided with an eight-cylinder engine under the long bonnet.
The brake system was hydraulic. The Windsor was large and had a 318 or 385 cm wheel base. There were six different body versions available for the car. The smallest, a two-seater roadster cost $1,485, and the largest, a seven-seater limousine, cost $2,195. The company was closed in 1930, the umpteenth car make to disappear.

Accommodation, Businesses and more pictures from Dovre
Dovre muncipality has approximately 2.800 inhabitants and covers a area of 1.363,8 km2. The village of Dombås lies in the Dovre municipality and serves as an administrative center in the upper Gudbrandsdalen. It lies at an important junction of roads: south leading to Oslo, west via Lesja leading to Åndalsnes on the sea and north to Trondheim.
The musk-ox, which is also depicted in our community´s coat of arms, is a unifying symbol to the people here. It represents strength, pride and a good portion stubbornness, qualities which we like to think aptly describe the locals. Dovre stands for quality, and as a visitor you will soon discover the pride and pleasure we take in being a good host. Every branch of Dovre's hospitality industry is staffed with capable and dedicated people committed to making your stay a pleasant one. Situated between the Dovrefjell and Rondane National Parks, the Dovre area offers beautiful vistas and an invigorating climate good for body and soul.
Summers provide an excellent opportunity to experience Dovre´s many facets. With the broad range of activities available you are sure to find something that interests you. Offerings include musk-oxen safaris, moose safaris with or without canoe, rafting, mountain climbing, summit tours, canyoning, ornithological tours, etc. You will find a wide assortment of hiking trails and ancient pathways such as the old Kings' Road and Pilgrim´s Route (the route followed by pilgrims to the Shrine of St. Olaf in Trondheim) on the Dovrefjell and in the Rondane Mountains, and close by the centre of Dombås.
Horseback riding is a great way to explore the outdoors and there are organized rides on the Dovrefjell. Hunting and fishing opportunities are also available. With Dovre as your base, you can take day-trips by car in all directions. Dovrefjell National Park is both special and vulnerable. This area contains the last virtually intact high mountain ecosystem in Europe, with a habitat that supports wild reindeer, wolverine, and arctic fox. Dovrefjell is known for its rich and diverse flora, with the Spring PasqueRower (Pulsatilla vernalis) among the best known. A number of plant species are rare, and are only found in the Dovrefjell region. Consequently, a number of plants, such as the Dovre poppy, derive their name from here. The main landmark and highest peak in the national park is Snøhetta (2,286 metres), a popular destination for many hikers.
Located right above the centre of Dombås is a down hill ski slope that is well suited to families. Dovre has some of Norway's best snowboarders, and the slope is equipped with a half-pipe. This area is known for its excellent cross-country skiing, and boasts 100 km of groomed trails which reach almost all the way down to centre of town. There are also ample opportunities for off-piste skiing on the Dovrefjell or in the Rondane Mountains. Dogsledding is a fun experience out of the ordinary, and organized tours are offered in which you can choose between being a passenger or driving your own team.
Gudbrandsdalen valley is oriented in a north-westerly direction from Lillehammer and the lake Mjøsa, extending 230 kilometers toward Romsdalen. The river of Gudbrandsdalslågen (Lågen) flows through the valley, starting from Lesjaskogsvatnet and ending at Mjøsa. The Otta river flowing through Otta valley is a major tributary to Gudbrandsdalslågen.
Together with Glomma river and Østerdalen, Gudbrandsdalslågen and Gudbrandsdalen forms Norway´s largest river / valley system. Gudbrandsdalen is home to Dovre Line and the E6 road, and is the main land transport corridor through South Norway, from Oslo and central eastern lowlands to Trondheim and Møre & Romsdal.
Fossil finds show that musk-oxen (Ovibos moschatus) lived in Europe during the last ice age. The population died out, however, due to a combination of climate changes and intense hunting. The first placement of musk-oxen on the Dovrefjell, a mountainous plateau in south central Norway, was done in 1931, when 10 animals from Greenland were released by Hjerkinn. In 1938, they were joined by two more animals. The herd multiplied, but all disappeared during the Second World War.
In 1947 - 53, altogether 23 musk-ox calves were transported from Greenland to the Dovrefjell, where the herd has now grown to approx. 80 animals. Musk-oxen are not aggressive, as long as you don't get too close. Out of consideration for your personal safety and the well-being of these magnificent animals, you should maintain a distance of at least 200 m (650 ft). The musk-ox has a top speed of 60 km (37 miles) per hour, and weighs between 225 - 445 kg (500-1,000 Ib.), so it's plain that these animals deserve your respect. If you would like to see musk-oxen in the wild, we recommend that you go on an organized musk-oxen safari.
The mountain Snøhetta is the crown on the roof of norway. Wide and majestetic it shows itself for the travellers. With its 2.286 meters above the sea, its the highest mountain in Norway beside the tops of Jotunheimen. The Snøhetta has several alpine neighbours, such as Svånåtindane, Larstind, Drugshø and Skredahø. The view from Snøhetta is magnifficent. The west-top is the lowest of the four peaks of Snøhetta, where all are above 2.200 metres. There are two alternate routes to get to the top of Snøhetta the West-top and the Big-top. There has been found remains of hunting-sites for reindeer, that shows that reindeer-hunters have been here long before Esmark.
Fokstumyra nature reserve is a very special area, and is particularly important as a nesting ground for a large number of rare and more common bird species. At the last registered count, approx. 140 bird species were recorded, whereof approx. 60 were registered as nesting. One distinctive species is the Ruff (Philomachus pugnax). The designation of Fokstumyra as a nature reserve in 1923 was the first such act involving the protection of a large wilderness area in Norway. Hiking etc. in the nature reserve is subject to certain rules.
Rondane was established as Norway s first national park in 1962. The park contains 10 peaks over 2.000 metres The massifs in the central parts of the national park bear many traces of the Ice Age, with deep cirques and narrow gorses. Although certain areas are quite rugged and rocky, Rondane is for the most part an easily accessible hiking area suitable for short and longer backpacking trips. Rondane also has a vulnerable population of wild reindeer which originates from the same stock as the population on the Dovrefjell.
Due to the construction of roads and the railway, the habitat of the wild reindeer became constricted, migratory routes were disrupted and the large population was divided. Reindeer are sensitive to disturbances, and for this reason it is necessary to show consideration. Grimsdalen is one of the richest and longest valleys in Norway when it comes to ancient hunting and mountain dairying traditions. Throughout the valley you will find visible signs of old Norwegian culture such as alpine meadows and traces of ancient reindeer traps. We recommend a trip through Grimsdalen and Dørålen, where you will be able to see and experience beautiful and interesting scenery without too much exertion.
A Historical Buildings Park where old buildlng customs are preserved is located in Dovre. The major attraction is a reconstructed, operational sash saw from the 1700s. In addition, you can see tar made in a tar stack. Tours, demonstrations and courses are offered to groups.
Budsjord is a protected farm located along the Old Kings' Road passing through Dovre. In the 1400s, Budsjord was an episcopal farm under Nidaros Bishopric. The stable, which is one of 17 buildings on the farm, is from this period. Tours and home made traditional foods are offered. There is also an antique and collectibles shop.
In the middle of Dombås is Troll Park, an interpretative centre where young and old can learn more about the distinctive features of this part of Norway. The centre takes visitors on a journey through nature and culture, with nymphs and trolls popping up behind every rock. In the movie theatre you can watch a film about the changing seasons on the Dovrefjell.
A gallery honouring the Norwegian artist Rakel Onsum Berg and her long life as a tapestry weaver, is situated by Dovregubbens Hall (Hall of the Mountain King) on the Dovrefjell. Tours of the gallery are offered to give visitors a thorough introduction to Rakel Onsum Berg's life as an artist and the historical surroundings in which the gallery is placed.
Arnfinnsbrua at Dovrefjell is a beautiful and protected rock-bridge from 1825. Located by Dovregubbens Hall (Hall of the Mountain King) on the Dovrefjell. An old saying tells us that the convict Arnfinn worked his way to a free man by building this bridge. The truth is that the bridge was built by local contractors from Dovre, lead by Pål Tofte. In total 28 men worked 779 days to build the bridge.
Lies by Gautåseter, a mountain dairy on the Dovrefjell. The area is known for its archaeological finds dating back to the 700s. A floor and part of the walls have now been built on the site of the inn that stood there before the time of Eystein I Magnusson, king of Norway from 1103 to 1122.

The cave is not far from Tofte, where his sister lived. She supplied him with food. He was later capturen, executed and burried outside the chirch-fence in Dovre - the custom for outlaws at the time.
THE LIFTING ROCK
An old test of strength was to lift this rock from the ground, and place it in the branch of the tree next to it. The rock is situated by the old road to Folldalen crossing Hjerkinnholen to the south of Hjerkinn Fjellstue.
Dombås Church was built in 1936. It is a cross-church, where stone (sparagmitt) from the Jøndal in Dovre is used. The church has a monumental altarpiece, where paintings of biblical stories is placed in Norwegian nature. The altarpiece is made in wood, from a drawing by Magnus Poulsson. The ten images of the life of Christ is painted on wooden wallboards and later attached to the altarpiece itself. "The believing Christ" is painted with backgrounds from the local nature. Tours during the summer-season.
The church Eysteinskyrkja in Hjerkinn was built in 1969, in a very special concrete construction.

Treasure Earth CSR Prize
The Treasure Earth CSR Prize
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Prize joins CSR and human and environmental rights hand in hand with business.
The CSR Prize is intended to incentivise and enable governments and businesses together to agree and promote an exemplary and unprecedented global code of conduct against which we can all measure and improve their CSR footprint. The Prize invites proposals for an over-arching and detailed measure to be designed as a comprehensive set of benchmarks as a CSR footprint against which all business and consumers can benchmark themselves. By practicing corporate social responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies are aware and concerned for the kind of human, economic, social, and environmental impact they are creating on the community and the environment in which they operate including overseas. To engage in CSR means that business will at all times observe human rights, ESCR (economic, social and cultural rights), environmental sustainability, anti corruption, anti-slavery and anti-trafficking safeguards and good practice across all operations in ways that provide fair wages and honest returns, that enhance society and the environments in which they operate and provide the required labour standards and safeguards for health and safety that prevent injury, health hazards, death, damage and exploitation on any scale.
Prize 1: The CSR Footprint
The design for a globally recognised and set of comprehensive ethical measures as a CSR footprint against which all business can benchmark their operations and all people benchmark their consumer habits.
Prize 2: The CSR Rating
Creation of a global graded measure and scale of certification to reflect the human and environmental CSR footprint at every stage of the business process. Just as carat is the measure of the purity of diamonds and gold so the CSR rating would become an essential CSR measure for all businesses and consumerism at every stage of their business operations and consumer outlets worldwide and as an automatic product specification at point of sale.
Prize 3: Sustainable Profit
How to achieve the comprehensive transformation of mining, quarrying, excavation, exploration, drilling, construction and the disposal of industrial, nuclear and chemical waste products to meet sustainable benchmarks and achieve top CSR human rights and environmental ratings for the benefit of the community and the environment in which such businesses operate, the countries and the world at large and to generate far greater commercial profit.

Back in February I had my annual appointment with my physician. This appointment ended with “your cholesterol is too high and you’re almost-but-not-quite obese.” The verdict? Stop eating sugar. Remove 200 calories from your diet and/or exercise enough to burn 200 calories. I’ll see you in six months to check your progress.
Well, here’s how this went. After a day of contemplating her plan, I decided to try the no sugar thing. That lasted about a week, which is technically how long we had talked about me trying it for. Right about this time my place of employment was gearing up for Move & Improve 2014. M&I, for those who don’t know, is a 12-Week program meant to motivate participants to exercise and improve their overall health.
Well, it did certainly motivate me. Much like having a workout buddy, knowing that I had a spreadsheet to answer to really helped keep me on track. I completed the mandatory 8 of 12 weeks of my goal to be entered into the random prize drawing. For me, this meant 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week.
I gotta tell you, this is the most exercise I’ve done in years. The best part? I was kind of enjoying it, and I can honestly say I felt better. Climbing my basement stairs got easier. I felt healthier and happier and I slept much better at night. Just before the end of the 12-Week program, I had lost five pounds: half of what my doctor expected me to lose in six months. And all this without much conscious change to my diet! Actually, I found myself eating (and craving) less, but still had my treat/dessert each night (because deprivation is the fastest way to ending a healthy lifestyle change, IMO).
Now it’s been three weeks since the M&I program ended and I have done a single (yes, one) day of exercise, my weight is creeping back up, and I feel like I’m eating junk food by the boatload. My biggest fear occurred; I fell off the wagon. As soon as my “accountability” disappeared, my motivation fluttered away.
Here’s my problem. Most nights I come home and the “I should exercise” thought crosses my mind. Then that thought leaves my mind to be replaced by every possible other thing I could be doing.
Between that and my extreme love of sweet things and pastries, I have often found it difficult to lose weight. A couple years back I successfully tried Weight Watchers for three months, losing over 20 pounds. I then stagnated, neither gaining or losing, and decided WW was no longer worth the monthly subscription fee. I gained the weight back within 6-8 months.
I tend not to berate myself too much for these lapses. I don’t make excuses. I like food, plain and simple. If I’m happy, what difference does it make?
Therein may lie the problem. While I’m not making excuses, I am deciding my behavior is normal and therefore perfectly acceptable, rather than continuing the push for a healthier lifestyle.
Thus, the question remains: how does one continually motivate oneself? Without gimmicks and tricks and playing the shame game, of course.

स्मृति मंधाना ने महिला टी२० लीग में इतिहास रचा।
भारत की महिला क्रिकेट खिलाड़ी स्मृति मंधाना ने टी२० क्रिकेट में सबसे तेज अर्धशतक लगाने के विश्व रिकॉर्ड की बराबरी कर ली। मंधाना ने विमंस क्रिकेट सुपर लीग २०१८ में वेस्टर्न स्टॉर्म की तरफ से खेलते हुए महज १८ गेंदों में अर्धशतक ठोक दिया। इसके साथ ही स्मृति मंधाना ने महिला टी२० क्रिकेट में सबसे तेज अर्धशतक लगाने के विश्व रिकॉर्ड की बराबरी कर ली। स्मृति ने न्यूजीलैंड की सोफी डेविन के रिकॉर्ड की बराबरी की है। सोफी ने ११ जुलाई, २०0५ को भारत के खिलाफ १८ गेंदों में अर्धशतक लगाया था। अब भारत की स्टार खिलाड़ी स्मृति ने भी इस रिकॉर्ड की बराबरी कर ली है। स्मृति ने १९ गेंदों में ५ चौके और ४ छक्कों की मदद से ५2 रन बनाए और वो अंत तक नबाद रहीं। आपको बता दें कि स्मृति वेस्टर्न स्टॉर्म की तरफ से ओपनिंग में उतरीं और मैदान पर उतरते ही ताबड़तोड़ बल्लेबाजी करने लगीं।
मैच को बारिश की वजह से २० ओवरों की जगह ६ ओवरों का कर दिया गया और स्मृति ने क्रीज पर उतरते ही तेज-तर्रार बल्लेबाजी शुरू कर दी। लॉगबोरो का कोई भी गेंदबाज स्मृति पर अपना असर नहीं छोड़ पा रहा था और वो तेजी से रन बनाती जा रही थीं। स्मृति ने विरोधी टीम की हर गेंदबाज को अपने निशाने पर लिया और जमकर चौके-छक्के लगाए। स्मृति पर किसी गेंदबाज का कोई असर नहीं पड़ रहा था और आखिर में उन्होंने १८ गेंदों में अर्धशतक लगाकर इतिहास रच दिया।
स्मृति अंत तक आउट नहीं हुईं और उनकी दमदार पारी की दम पर वेस्टर्स स्टॉर्म ने ६ ओवरों में २ विकेट खोकर ८५ रन बनाए। जिसके जवाब में लॉगबोरो की टीम मुकाबला हार गई। ६ ओवरों में 8६ रन का लक्ष्य लॉगबोरो के लिए काफी ज्यादा साबित हुआ और टीम को १८ रन से मैच हारना पड़ा। लॉगबोरो की टीम ६ ओवरों में ६7 रन ही बना सकी। साफ है कि स्मृति ने रिकॉर्डतोड़ पारी के अलावा अपनी टीम के लिए मैच विनिंग पारी भी खेली।

# Solid Angles
1. Oct 22, 2004
### retupmoc
Can anyone help me in understanding solid angles and how to work them out in the context of Gauss' Law and Amperes Law calculations
2. Oct 22, 2004
### Tide
A solid angle is the 3-dimensional analog of angles in two dimensions. Ordinary angles refer to a portion of full rotation in a plane corresponding to the circumference of the unit circle. An angle is the circumference of the unit circle subtended by the rotation. Think of it as having one degree of freedom.
In three dimensions, rotations have two degrees of freedom and the appropriate measure for rotation corresponds to the surface area of the unit circle.
3. Oct 23, 2004
### HallsofIvy
Since the surface area of the unit sphere is 4π, we take the measure of a "whole solid angle" to be 4π and then measure other solid angles as fractions of that.
The solid angle corresponding to a the upper half of a sphere is 2π
The solid angle corresponding to a single quadrant is π

Avoid the escape key

Tip 285 Printable Monobook Previous Next
created 2002 · complexity basic · version 6.0
This tip discusses how to exit from insert mode without needing to press Esc. The Vi editor was originally written on an ADM-3A terminal, which had the Escape key positioned where the Tab key occurs on most modern keyboards. Many touch typists appreciate the fact that they can leave their hands on the keyboard home row while using Vim, so there are several ideas for avoiding the Esc key at its current location (pressing Esc generally requires stretching to the top of the keyboard).
No utility programs or operating system tweaks are required for this tip. For other suggestions involving mapping keys with the operating system or utilities, see Map caps lock to escape in XWindows (for Unix-based systems), or Map caps lock to escape in Windows (for Windows). Some of the suggestions involve more than avoiding escape; topics also discussed include using the CapsLock key for Ctrl, and avoiding irritations from accidental use of CapsLock.
Avoiding the Esc key
If you have an American English keyboard, pressing Ctrl-[ (control plus left square bracket) is equivalent to pressing Esc. This provides an easy way to exit from insert mode.
If you have a keyboard where the bracket is already mapped to Alt Gr-something (like the Spaniard keyboard), press Ctrl-c to quit insert mode (however, Ctrl-c does not expand abbreviations). :help i_CTRL-C
Use Alt/Meta In a Terminal
Alt keys appear on most PC keyboards. Meta keys were used on some old systems.
If you use Vim in a terminal, simply press alt/meta+normal_mode_key. Most terminals send an escape character followed by the normal_mode_key that you pressed, removing the need to press escape yourself.
The terminals konsole and gnome terminal send the escape by default when you press alt/meta+normal_mode_key. For Xterm you can ctrl+click and select the option "Meta sends escape" or "Alt sends escape". [1]
Thus in insert mode pressing alt+h alt+j alt+k alt+l all take you to normal mode and move in the expected direction. You can hold down alt when moving even while in normal mode since the additional ESC that is sent does no harm.
The advantage of using this scheme is that you can use the alt/meta+key combination with any normal mode key, e.g.
• Alt+o opens a new line below the one you are currently editing,
• Alt+A appends to the end of the current line,
• Alt+p pastes at the current insert location.
• Alt+k moves up
Thus using vim via a terminal gives you these short cut powers on any stock standard system without the need to edit each systems vim mappings.
It can be convenient to use a mapping so that pressing a key, or sequence of keys, generates Escape. The :imap command is used to create the mapping so that it only applies while in insert mode.
For example, the following allows you to press jj to exit from insert mode:
:imap jj <Esc>
To generate Escape, jj has to be typed quickly. :help 'timeout'
A problem with mapping a sequence like jj is that Vim will pause whenever you type j in insert mode (it is waiting for the next key to determine whether to apply the mapping). The pause is merely a visual distraction which you may not notice, and it does not slow down typing.
For simplicity, we will show :imap but careful Vimmers are in the habit of using :inoremap which does not attempt to interpret the result of the mapping (with the :imap command, the result is scanned to see whether it contains another mapping).
If you are considering putting this map in your .vimrc be careful to not put any comments after it, imap will try to interpret the blank spaces after <Esc> producing random jumps after entering normal mode.
Alternative mappings
Here are some alternative suggestions:
" Can be typed even faster than jj.
:imap jk <Esc>
" Press i to enter insert mode, and ii to exit.
:imap ii <Esc>
" Use backtick.
:imap ` <Esc>
" Two semicolons are easy to type.
:imap ;; <Esc>
" Press Shift-Space (may not work on your system).
:imap <S-Space> <Esc>
" Try the following so Shift-Space also enters insert mode.
:nmap <S-Space> i
" Or just Space to enter insert mode.
:nmap <Space> i
" In Mac OS X, mapping <S-space> does not work, but the following
" is better (press the "apple" key and the space key).
" Note that this will conflict with the spotlight shortcut
:imap <D-space> <Esc>
" On gvim and Linux console Vim, you can use Alt-Space.
:imap <M-Space> <Esc>
Using the Tab key
If using MacVim under Mac OS X, see below for a working procedure.
It is possible to map the Tab key but that is not desirable because Ctrl-o and Ctrl-i (Tab) are very useful for jumping to previously visited locations.
With the following in your vimrc, you can press Tab to return to normal mode:
nnoremap <Tab> <Esc>
vnoremap <Tab> <Esc>gV
onoremap <Tab> <Esc>
inoremap <Tab> <Esc>`^
inoremap <Leader><Tab> <Tab>
In normal mode, you can press prefix keys before a command (for example, 12 for a count). The nnoremap causes Tab to cancel any prefix keys.
The vnoremap causes Tab to cancel any selection (gV is required to prevent automatic reselection).
The onoremap causes Tab to cancel any operator-pending command (for example, y).
The first inoremap causes Tab to exit insert mode, and the `^ restores the cursor position so exiting insert does not move the cursor left.
The second inoremap, assuming the default leader key, allows you to press \ then Tab to insert a tab character. You may prefer an alternative mapping to make it easier to insert a tab. For example, on some systems, you may be able to use Alt-Tab to insert a tab character with:
inoremap <M-i> <Tab>
Some plugins may remap the Tab key. To remap them back from .vimrc, use autocmd:
au VimEnter * map <Tab> <Esc>
au VimEnter * imap <Tab> <Esc>
au VimEnter * vmap <Tab> <Esc>
Due to the way that Vim read keys, Ctrl-i is the same as Tab. Therefore, you cannot map Tab to generate Escape, and map Ctrl-i to do something different.
When adjusting indents, you can avoid tabs altogether:
• In normal mode: Type << to shift the line left one 'shiftwidth', or >> to shift right (and press . to repeat).
• In insert mode: Press Ctrl-d to shift left, or Ctrl-t to shift right.
Tab key under Mac OS X
If you are using MacVim under Mac OS X, there is a good method to use the Tab key for Escape. The tool KeyRemap4MacBook can configure the Tab key to act as an Esc key in MacVim only (leaving the rest of the system untouched). Then you can press Ctrl-i to insert a tab character, and can press the Tab key to send Escape to MacVim. To do this, add the following to your private.xml file:
<!-- TAB key changed to act as ESC, for MacVim only -->
<name>Change Tab to Esc in MacVim</name>
<autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::TAB, KeyCode::ESCAPE</autogen>
Using the Enter key
It's very easy to exit insert mode using the Enter key:
:inoremap <CR> <Esc>
An example of using the above would be to type ce to change to the end of a word, then type new text, then press Enter to return to normal mode.
When you want to enter a newline, you may find that Shift-Enter or Ctrl-Enter works (it should always work in gvim, but might not in a terminal, depending upon your system). If your Shift-Enter or Ctrl-Enter works, and you can get used to it, the above might be all you need.
An alternative would be to map Shift-Enter to generate Escape:
:inoremap <S-CR> <Esc>
Then Enter will always work as expected, and Shift-Enter will always exit insert mode. If Shift-Enter does not work on your system, you might find that Ctrl-Enter (<C-CR>) does.
Another, more elaborate, alternative is:
function! ToggleEnterMapping()
if empty(mapcheck('<CR>', 'i'))
inoremap <CR> <Esc>`^
return "\<Esc>"
iunmap <CR>
return "\<CR>"
call ToggleEnterMapping()
inoremap <expr> <S-CR> ToggleEnterMapping()
" Optional (so <CR> cancels prefix, selection, operator).
nnoremap <CR> <Esc>
vnoremap <CR> <Esc>gV
onoremap <CR> <Esc>
• Initially, pressing Enter returns to normal mode.
• In insert mode, pressing Shift-Enter enters "multiline" mode, meaning that pressing Enter will insert a newline.
• In insert mode, after pressing Shift-Enter to enter "multiline" mode, pressing Shift-Enter again exits (returns to normal mode).
The mapcheck() function returns the current insert-mode mapping for <CR> (Enter). The empty() function returns nonzero (true) if there is no such mapping.
The inoremap <expr> command maps Shift-Enter to generate the expression returned by calling ToggleEnterMapping() (the code for either Escape or Enter). Calling the function toggles the insert-mode mapping for Enter: if it is mapped, it is unmapped; otherwise it is mapped to <Esc>`^ (generate Escape then go to the ^ mark).
Toggling insert mode
Press Ctrl-Space to start and to stop insert mode (the same suggestion using Shift-Space is above):
nnoremap <C-space> i
imap <C-space> <Esc>
Or you may prefer to map Ctrl-Space to a rather than i so that repeatedly pressing Ctrl-Space does not move the cursor back (remember that pressing I allows you to insert a character at the beginning of the line):
nnoremap <C-space> a
imap <C-space> <Esc>
In the terminal <C-space> doesn't work, but <C-@> worked out (at least for me).
An alternative follows. It uses /i to toggle insertion at the cursor, and /a to toggle insertion at the end of the line. If you use /i (or /a) to insert, you must /i (or /a) to exit (not Esc).
nnoremap <silent> /i :let &insertmode=1-&insertmode<CR>
inoremap <silent> /i <Esc>:let &insertmode=1-&insertmode<CR>
nnoremap <silent> /a :let &insertmode=1-&insertmode<Bar>if &insertmode<Bar>:startinsert!<Bar>endif<CR>
inoremap <silent> /a <Esc>:let &insertmode=1-&insertmode<Bar>if &insertmode<Bar>:startinsert!<Bar>endif<CR>
Probably can use :set insertmode! to toggle.
The / is easy to type, but did you mean to use <Leader>? Also, why toggle 'insertmode'? Why not the following (and similar for append):
nnoremap <Leader>i i
inoremap <Leader>i <Esc>
Improving the Esc key
You may not find attempts to replace the Esc key satisfactory. However, if you don't like the cursor moving left when you exit from insert mode, you may want to try this variation from the Tab key section above:
inoremap <Esc> <Esc>`^
The above trick means that the cursor will not move if you press i to enter insert mode, then press Esc to exit. However, pressing a (append) then Esc will move the cursor, so this "improvement" may not satisfy you.
Command-line mode
If you want to map another key to Esc in command-line mode, if you attempt a mapping like
cmap <C-space> <Esc>
the resulting mapping will submit the command-line as if pressing Return rather. To create a mapping to act like Esc in command-line mode, you must map to <C-c> instead.
cmap <C-space> <C-c>
Mapping problems
Vim runs on many different hardware and software platforms. Therefore some key sequences may not be available. For example, you may be able to map Shift-Space in a GUI Vim, but not in a terminal Vim (and even if you could, if you were running via PuTTY, for example, Vim might not receive the key code).
For Shift-Space in terminal Vim, I used "URxvt.keysym.S-space: \033" in .Xresources. (for the rxvt-unicode terminal emulator).
To test your system, enter insert mode then press Ctrl-K followed by the key of interest (for example, press Ctrl-K then Shift-Space). :help i_CTRL-K
Related tips
The following advises using <C-o> instead of <Esc> in insert mode mappings.
The following are not related to the Esc key. They try to avoid CapsLock applying in normal mode (so you can insert text in uppercase when needed, but not type in uppercase after exiting insert mode).
Use META + <next action>
Depending on your terminal and vim settings it is possible that ^[ is sent firstly while you are pressing META(Alt)+<key>. So during Insert mode you can press META+j to finish editing, return to Normal mode and move to the next line.
Remap Bash Shell's Escape Key for Readline VI mode
Although slightly off-topic here, you can also remap the ESC key for Bash's Readline VI emulation mode to another key sequence.
Create or modify your $HOME/.inputrc:
# Remap ESC to use my double 'i' keypress to toggle insert or movement
# mode.
$if mode=vi
set keymap vi-command
"ii": vi-insertion-mode
set keymap vi-insert
"ii": vi-movement-mode
You'll likely need to exit all Bash shells for this change to take effect.
NOTE: There is currently a patch proposed on Jan 23 2012 (after bash-4.2_p20 release) for creating a time-out value for readline for double key mappings. This patch can be found on the bug-bash mailing list under the subject "Bash readline remap ESC insert/command mode key". An additional note, the shorter timeout value for double key mappings versus Vim's timeout is much quicker (using approx. half of Vim's wait time) making typing much quicker. Vim's timeout value seems to allow users to type the first char with a finger, and the second using a toe. Without this patch, users will have have problems typing commands containing an 'i' and a work around is to type 'i' and then the 'right cursor' key. In short, get the patch or await >bash-4.2_p20?

Setting myself up for the test
All the while knowing
I'll never be the best.
Lying on your back,
My legs either side.
Looking into your eyes,
I'm never as good as the last.
I had forgotten I'd written that, and came across it today while I was on the train!! I really should finish it off, make something of it, or it'll just end up like all my other half finished pieces of whatever this is!!!
Why can't you see that it's you I want.
Or that I think I want.
I can never trust myself about this.
I have been wrong about this feeling in the past.
I have been wrong about others.
Yes, and there have been others,
of this you are more than aware.
And you make sure I am aware.
The one before you,
well he wanted to see me tonight.
I hid away.
From his messages and calls.
I thought I was waiting for you.
But here I am,
lying in my bed alone.
With hope you'll still turn up.
What happens if you do?
What happens if you don't?
I had started to feel that we had moved past this,
but we never really do.
Sometimes you need me more than anyone.
But there is always the doubt.
Something niggling in the pit of my stomach.
If you were where I am tonight,
how can I be sure,
you wouldn't hide from me?
There is an empty glass by my bed,
the ashtray is full.

Why greetings can mean less than their words
When I was in high school, I had a linguistic game I used to play on my unsuspecting schoolmates.
Moving through the hallways between classes, we’d normally call out to the people we saw every day, “Hi, how’s it going?” or “Hey, what’s up?”
But I practiced giving the opposite response without skipping a beat. To “What’s up?” I’d answer, “Good, how’re you?” while to “How’s it going?” I’d say, “Not much, what’s up with you?”
What surprised and delighted me every time is that people never seemed to notice.
As long as I could pull it off smoothly, people were perfectly content to accept the “wrong” reply to their greetings—it was only when I faltered that people pulled up short. (Try it yourself sometime!)
I didn’t understand why, any more than I understood why there were several pairs of greetings that were made out of different words but meant essentially the same thing when taken as a whole, and eventually I chalked it up to one of life’s (and my own) little eccentricities.
As I learned more linguistics, I realized two things.
First, that this is eminently normal budding linguist behavior, and second, that linguistics had a reason for why my greeting mismatch experiment worked.
These social phrases are known as phatic expressions, and their meaning is more about the context you say them in than the sum of their individual words.

One of the suggestions that you can utilize to include illumination for Ensuite Plumbing is currently using solar capsules that reflect light into your home, through the tv and out of your roofing. Specially valuable while in the room of your home for storage or you have a basement or different ground above the kitchen. This way, the lighting heading straight to the area area, so that your bedroom will undoubtedly be filled up with natural lighting along with the atmosphere becomes crowded areas.
Another method you might be ready to incorporate will be to create strong connection with the wall of your home. The lighting that's in the room that is next can move into your another room. You can also transform and then add dark furnitures with additional furnitures that could reflect light. Moreover, the agreement of home gear may be the key.
If you such as the atmosphere of the warm home with a natural light that is superior and decorations this Ensuite Plumbing with possibly a great idea for you personally. We hope you enjoy our layout suggestions in this website.
### I
Roman numerals,
• the numerals in the ancient Roman system of notation, still used for certain limited purposes, as in some pagination, dates on buildings, etc. The common basic symbols are I (=1), V (=5), X (=10), L (=50), C (=100), D (=500), and M (=1000). The Roman numerals for one to nine are: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX. A bar over a letter multiplies it by 1000;
thus, X̄ equals 10,000. Integers are written according to these two rules: If a letter is immediately followed by one of equal or lesser value, the two values are added;
thus, XX equals 20, XV equals 15, VI equals 6. If a letter is immediately followed by one of greater value, the first is subtracted from the second;
thus, IV equals 4, XL equals 40, CM equals 900. Examples: XLVII(=47), CXVI(=116), MCXX(=1120), MCMXIV(=1914). Roman numerals may be written in lowercase letters, though they appear more commonly in capitals.

In the small town of Redwood, two young individuals named Alex and Jamie had recently graduated high school. Both were eager to embark on their career paths, each having developed a keen interest in carpentry during shop class. While they shared a similar dream, their approaches varied significantly.
Alex was always the cautious one, preferring to weigh all options before making any decision. They understood the value of apprenticeships, having learned about it from various resources. On the other hand, Jamie was impulsive and driven by ambition. They believed that jumping headfirst into work would yield quicker results than slowly climbing the ladder.
One day, after discussing potential futures over coffee, Alex said, "Jamie, remember how Mr. Thompson stressed the importance of apprenticeships for aspiring carpenters? It's not just about mastering the craft; it also involves networking and understanding the industry."
But Jamie waved off Alex's concerns, saying, "Networking can wait. Let's get some real-world experience first. I heard about a local construction company looking for help. I think we should apply there instead."
Despite Alex's reservations, they agreed to give it a shot, hoping perhaps Jamie might change their mind along the way. At the interview, while Alex asked thoughtful questions about growth opportunities and long-term prospects, Jamie focused solely on immediate tasks and wages.
They got the jobs - Alex reluctantly so. Weeks turned into months, and while Jamie reveled in being busy, Alex felt something missing. Their duties mainly involved manual labor under strict supervision without much room for skill enhancement.
Meanwhile, Alex sought out a seasoned carpenter named Walter in town, known for his exquisite work and mentoring abilities. After initial hesitation, Walter agreed to take Alex under his wing as an apprentice. Classes intertwined with fieldwork gave Alex comprehensive insights into carpentry and its nuances. Plus, attending various workshops organized by Walter exposed Alex to new tools and trends.
Months later, when a significant project came up at Jamie's workplace, they struggled due to lack of proper guidance and theoretical knowledge. Frustrated, Jamie approached Alex for assistance, admitting the shortcomings of their approach. Although initially pleased, Alex realized that sharing their hard-earned wisdom meant risking their colleague getting credit for their superior craftsmanship down the line.
After contemplating this ethical dilemma, Alex decided to help Jamie anyway, believing that true professionals uplift others despite competition. Teaching Jamie proved beneficial for both parties; Jamie gained essential skills, and Alex reinforced their own understanding. When the project concluded successfully, both received recognition commensurate with their contributions.
This scenario underscores the significance of apprenticeships, demonstrating that practical experience coupled with formal education yields better results than relying purely on self-learning. Moreover, it highlights the necessity of ethical conduct within professions, encouraging teamwork and mutual respect among peers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 22, 2006) - Senior James Rainer (Alcoa, Tenn.) continued to run away from the competition, taking top honors in the 100-meter dash, Saturday at the Vanderbilt Invitational. Junior Anna Marie Ricciardi (Canfield, Ohio) and the 4x100-meter team also had outstanding afternoons, both posting season-best marks.
Rainer came out on top of a strong field in the 100, racing to a time of 10.43 seconds to best Middle Tennessee State's Van Fraley, who finished in 10.49. The victory was the fifth individual-event win of the season for Rainer, who has taken the blue ribbon in four 100 competitions. Johnny Tucker (Spartansburg, S.C.) took 12th in the 100 field, running 10.81.
Ricciardi earned a second-place finish in the high jump, setting a season-best mark of 5-8 (1.73m). Memphis' Chen Edri also cleared 5-8, but took home first prize due to less misses.
Rainer, Tucker, along with teammates Michael Wright (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Tyler Woodruff (Sevierville, Tenn.), combined to finish fourth in the 4x100, clocking a season-best time of 40.82. Middle Tennessee State recorded the event victory with a regional-qualifying time of 39.82.
"It was a good day of competition for us," said ETSU associate head coach Michelle Byrne. "We saw some marked improvements, so hopefully that will set us up well for the regional championships."
The Bucs are off until April 30, when they make the short trip to Knoxville, Tenn., for the Knoxville Twilight Meet, hosted by the University of Tennessee.

Splinter Removal
Wilderness First Aid
Yes, there is a right way and wrong way to remove a splinter. And most people, in the interest of saving a few minutes, practice the wrong way, whether they know it or not
How to remove a splinter
1) Wash your hands with soap and water or sanitize well with an alcohol-based sanitizer such as Purell.
2) Clean the area of the splinter and around it with rubbing alcohol or sanitizing pad.
3) Sanitize your tweezers and a needle if not already done, then dry them with a sterile cloth.
4) Using the needle, gently loosen the area around the splinter by drawing the skin away from the splinter.
5) Carefully remove the now hopefully freed splinter with the tweezers. Use caution not to break splinter.
6) Apply topical antibiotic ointment from your first aid kit. Cover with bandaid or bandage.

Direct numerical simulation of transitional noncircular buoyant reactive jets
Research output: Contribution to journalJournal article
<mark>Journal publication date</mark>12/2001
<mark>Journal</mark>Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics
Issue number3
Number of pages16
Pages (from-to)183-198

The near field dynamics of transitional buoyant reactive jets established on noncircular geometries, including a rectangular nozzle with an aspect ratio of 2 : I and a square nozzle with the same cross-sectional area, are investigated by three-dimensional spatial direct numerical simulations. Without applying external perturbations at the inflow boundary, large vortical structures develop naturally in the flow field due to buoyancy effects. Simulation results and analysis describe the details and clarify mechanisms of vortex dynamics of the noncircular buoyant reactive jets. The interaction between density gradients and gravity initiates the flow vorticity. Among the major vorticity transport terms, the gravitational term mainly promotes flow vorticity in the cross-streamwise direction. For the baroclinic torque, it can either create or destroy flow vorticity depending on the local flow structure. The vortex stretching term has different effects on the streamwise and cross-streamwise vorticity. Streamwise vorticity is mainly created by vortex stretching, while this term can either create or destroy cross-streamwise vorticity. Under the coupling effects of buoyancy and noncircular nozzle geometry, three-dimensional vortex interactions lead to the transitional behavior of the reactive jets. Simulations also show that the rectangular jet is more vortical than the square jet. The rectangular jet has a stronger tendency of transition to turbulence at the downstream due to the aspect ratio effect. Mean flow property calculations show that the rectangular buoyant reactive jet has a higher entrainment rate than its square counterpart.

Battlestar Galactica for Xbox
Another space war game. This is the 6000th year of the Cylon war period. The Cylon were erstwhile android slaves for humans. Their exile to stars was a punishment for the anti-human rebellion. However for a decade now, they have fought the humans in a plan to exterminate them.The battleship Galatica has an elite blue wing division of fighters and you as Adama are one of them.
You must successfully complete combat missions using different ships like the Vipers. Then there are missiles and lasers that could be used. A power meter for missiles and damage meter for ships will inform you about the energy you spent in employing a weapon and the hits your ship has taken respectively. Both are interconnected. So, higher the energy greater the ability to recover from damages. The ship's speed can also be controlled from a spurt in speed to a grinding halt.
Join the Colonials as the brave Adama, in the ultimate battle of survival that takes you through the entire universe of Battlestar Galactica. The graphics are adequate and this is a playable game.

Views from China: Yang Yongliang and the Modern Metropolis
Upon first glance, Yang Yongliang’s photographs appear as dreamlike Chinese paintings, not unlike those he studied extensively as a student of traditional art at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. However, upon closer inspection, one finds that his works are cleverly crafted from digital photographs of China’s bustling cities, and then manipulated into haunting imaginary landscapes that critique China’s rapidly changing built environment.
A young artist, born in 1980, Yongliang is a resident of Shanghai, China who depends heavily on his a camera and a laptop computer to make his art. Using only these tools—and a knowledge of traditional Chinese painting traditions—Yongliang invents urban scenes that depict skyscrapers under construction, freeway systems, electrical power plants, and bustling urban corridors. His compositions starkly reveal the impacts of technological progress that China has undergone over past decades.
Yongliang is among a generation of young artists who came of age after the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and therefore embraces a level of artistic freedom that is not common among past generations of Chinese artists.

Khloe Kardashian has joked that sister Kim is "jealous" that she is able to pick up their other sibling Kourtney.
The Khloe & Lamar star was asked about her "constant" on-screen wrestling with Kourtney during an appearance on Conan on Monday night.
"[Kourtney is] so little and small that's it so fun to just like pick her up and throw her somewhere!" laughed Khloe.
When asked if Kourtney was an eager participant, she responded: "Trust me, she loves it. Kim acts like we embarrass her but she's so jealous that I can't pick her up and throw her around! It's those boobs and the butt. I can't pick her up - [they're] so heavy!"
O'Brien also quizzed Khloe on her decision to briefly switch her dark locks to red earlier this year, prompting the reality star to say: "I loved being a redhead. I thought it was fun and crazy and sexy - is that how you feel every day?... Are you red everywhere? Show us! Show us!"
"I can't!" replied O'Brien. "There are laws about that. Use your imagination! It's crazy down south - we don't want to be talking about this!"
Khloe was on the TBS show to promote her upcoming E! reality show Khloe & Lamar, which documents her married life with LA Lakers star Lamar Odom and begins this Sunday. The couple have also released a unisex fragrance called 'Unbreakable' which is available now.
Watch Khloe's appearance on Conan below:

Apologies for my lack of posting over the past couple of months- they’ve been quite hectic and stressful, trying to put everything we’ve learnt over the previous year into practice within a short time period of 10 weeks. But it’s over now, and I can finally say that I’ve finished uni for good this time.
I haven’t had a chance since I got back from Broken Hill to properly finish my posts from then, so I thought I’d quickly put them up on my blog before I forget, starting with one of my favourite Broken Hill cafes, Temptations.
The problem with staying up late on Friday night in Broken Hill is that you end up waking up late on Saturday morning, so by the time you cycle your way into the main street of town, most of the cafes and shops are just about closed.
I can’t say we’re too fond of the 1-2pm closing times, because it leaves us with little time to explore and not much to do in the middle of the day. Luckily, Temptations Cafe is open almost all day, and this so we end up here for a late lunch when almost nothing else was open.
We’d been meaning to visit Temptations since the first week we’d arrived in Broken Hill, being the only dessert bar in town but we hadn’t really considered visiting for lunch as their menu didn’t seem quite as exciting as everything else on offer in town.
Their drinks menu was quite exciting with a selection of smoothies, shakes and teas in addition to the standard coffees. The house made strawberry and dragonfruit iced tea was surprisingly good, a refreshing drink with a hint of strawberry and dragonfruit. There’s no dragonfruit used in the tea of course so its flavour is quite subtle.
The menu mostly consists of your typical cafe fare- burgers, sandwiches and pastas. We’re not sure what to pick so we go for the waitress’ suggestion of the steak sandwich.
And boy are we glad we did!
It’s an unexpectedly impressive steak sandwich, with so much filling it is not possible to eat it without a mess! It’s a delightful combination of steak (of course!), bacon, egg, onion jam, tomatoes and salad between the two lightly toasted pieces of Turkish bread. It’s quite similar to my all time favourite steak sandwich at my local cafe and I must say, it does come close to being my favourite!
And we can’t leave a dessert bar without trying their desserts, so we pick the caramel macadamia cheesecake of their specials menu. There’s also a dessert display inside the restaurant, but most options are on the menu anyway.
The caramel macadamia cheesecake was a one off special, we’d been trying to order it again for a few weeks after but they didn’t make it again 🙁

I still remember my first trip to Southeast Asia like it was yesterday. As a food enthusiast, I had heard so much about the vibrant street food scene in the region, but nothing could have prepared me for what I experienced.
My journey began in Bangkok, where I tried my very first plate of Pad Thai from a street vendor. It was absolutely divine - the tangy taste of tamarind, the slight heat from the chilies, and the aroma of fresh lime leaves all combined into a symphony of flavors that I will never forget. And little did I know then that this humble noodle dish would become a metaphorical thread connecting me to something far greater than just food.
As I traveled through Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, I discovered more incredible street foods. From satays grilled over open flames to succulent spring rolls bursting with flavor, each dish told a unique story about the place and people who created them. But perhaps the most memorable were the sweet treats made from coconut milk, which seemed to capture the essence of Southeast Asia itself – exotic, rich, and unforgettable.
One day, while exploring a bustling night market in Kuala Lumpur, I stumbled upon an elderly lady selling her homemade kuih. She offered me one filled with palm sugar and coconut cream, explaining how she had been making these traditional Malaysian cakes since she was a young girl. As we talked, she revealed that her recipes had been passed down through generations, carrying with them stories of family, community, and tradition.
Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted by a group of tourists who started taking pictures of us without asking. The old woman became visibly upset, waving her hands and shouting at them to stop. Watching this encounter unfold, I felt a surge of empathy towards her. Here was someone who had spent her entire life preserving her culture's culinary heritage, only to be reduced to a prop for snap-happy travelers.
In that moment, I realized the immense responsibility we bear when we engage with other cultures. Yes, it's important to try new things and broaden our horizons, but not at the expense of disrespecting or exploiting those whose traditions we're sampling. That night, I promised myself that I would always approach cultural exchange with mindfulness, gratitude, and respect.
Since then, I've continued to explore the world of Southeast Asian street food, cherishing both the tastes and the lessons learned along the way. Each bite now serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and appreciating the cultural significance behind the dishes we consume.

How To Have An Obedient And Happy Dog
Taking on the task of training your dog might feel intimidating if you have never tried it before. You can easily be lead to information overload because of all of the resources available to new trainers. Here are some tips to get you started.
Repetition is what causes a dog to learn. It may take as many as fifty repetitions before your dog learns the command. Keep working patiently on the command- he’ll get it with time.
When training dogs, use a similar tone and volume when you give commands. An authoritarian tone informs your dog he is expected to obey. You should also work on developing different tones to use in different situations. For example, you can have a sharp one for disciplinary purposes, and a firm, but not-as-sharp one for simple commands.
TIP! Unless you offer a distraction or stimulus, your dog will probably focus exclusively on a single thing. If you do it enough times, your dog will wait for your signals instead of focusing on other things.
Make sure you’ve got a reward ready whenever your dog does something successfully. It is important that your dog is able to establish a connection between the command and the action that gains a reward. This will teach your dog what behavior is correct and expected.
Try to incorporate play into your training sessions with your dog. Taking some time to have fun with your dog makes your dog like you more, which means fewer problems when training him. Although dog training can be fun, you don’t really want to spend all your time in training mode.
TIP! When you are trying to house train your puppy, keep in mind that everything that you put in, will come out. In order to foster routine toilet habits, give your dog good food between 2 and 3 times daily on a firm schedule.
Your dog needs to understand that ‘no’ means they need to stop what they are doing right away. Find positive and supportive ways to train your furry friend. When you tell your dog “no” during training, he has no idea what you want him to do instead of the behavior you reprimand. Each dog is unique and has unique requirements. Training should be geared towards their needs and personality.
TIP! Don’t waste your money on expensive training products, such as shock collars. They might not work like they say they do and they cost too much.
The best way to train your dog is to use different tones of voices. Praise, corrections, and commands need their own tones to help the dog differentiate between effects and causes with both of your behaviors. Commands call for firmness; corrections need a louder volume and praise should be in your natural tone.
Proper Behavior
TIP! Keep your voice firm and level when delivering commands to your dog. This tone tells the dog that you mean business and that they need to obey.
For enforcing proper behavior when dog training, keep in mind your dog must be praised. Smile, get excited and provide them with treats to help them relate proper behavior with positive reinforcement. Do not give any rewards for negative behavior since your dog will thing the bad behavior is good as well.
When you are traveling together with a dog, make a dog travel bag. Things such as food and water bowls, paper toweling and waste bags are critical for a smooth trip. There is no need to bring along the bag of dog food; you can buy some when you reach your destination.
The advice in this article has given you some needed guidance and insight. You will find that you’re a happier dog owner when you use these tips.

Regional analysis and impacts for deployment
Motivated by economic, security or environmental factors, countries will choose their own priorities when adopting smart grid technologies. Where possible, the costs and benefits of different approaches must be quantified to assess the impacts of potential smart grid deployment. The following regional characteristics need to be taken into account in any regional assessment:
• Current and planned mix of supply, including fossil, nuclear and renewable generation.
• Current and future demand, and sectoral make-up of demand, such as manufacturing industry, residential load prevalence or the deployment of electric vehicles.
• Status of existing and planned new transmission and distribution networks.
• Ability to interconnect with neighbouring regions.
• Regulatory and market structure.
• Climatic conditions and resource availability.
Quantification of peak demand and the impact of smart grids
The incentives, or drivers, behind smart grid deployment and the interactions between such drivers need to be understood in the context of local or regional electrical systems. This roadmap has expanded upon the ETP 2010 scenarios to develop a more detailed regional electricity system for four regions: OECD North America, OECD Europe, OECD Pacific and China. Data in the analysis includes:
• Annual demand.
• Electric vehicle (EV) deployment and peak demand as a function of EV deployment.
• Demand response potential.
• Future potential electricity use in buildings.
• Deployment of advanced metering infrastructure.
The model focuses on the demand side of the electricity system; variable renewable deployment is considered in the discussion but not in the analysis itself. The scenarios modelled are shown in Figure 11. In the SGMAX scenario, there is strong regulatory and policy support for the development and deployment of smart grids, whereas the SGMIN scenario assumes little policy support. The amount of clean technology installed – such as heat pumps, variable renewable resources (varRE) and electric vehicles (EVs/PHEVs) – follows the deployment pathways developed by the ETP 2010 analysis in the Baseline and BLUE Map Scenarios.
Since smart grids are already being deployed, policy support is assumed to be at least at a minimum level; a scenario without smart grids will be shown only as reference case to demonstrate that where EVs/PHEVs are deployed with no consideration for electricity system operation, they can have a significant negative impact on peak demand. The key variables used, in addition to ETP 2010 analysis values, are the reduction of peak demand through demand response and electric vehicle connections: grid-to-vehicle (G2V), or battery charging, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), in which electricity flows from batteries into the grid.
Impact of electric vehicles on peak demand
The deployment of EV/PHEV technology can have a significant positive or negative impact on peak demand. The demand cycle for EV/PHEV charging could be similar to the daily demand cycles of residential and service sector consumers – adding to existing peak demand. If charging is performed in a controlled fashion, simply through a scheduling process, or interactively with signals from utilities, the impact on peak demand could be significantly minimised. The electricity storage in EVs/PHEVs could also be used to reduce the impact of peak demand by providing electricity at or near end-user demand (V2G). Figure 12 shows both the positive and negative impact of EVs/PHEVs on peak demand for OECD North America with no demand response capability installed. The trend is similar in all regions.
Figure 12 shows the SG0 case with total peak demand under the BLUE Map Scenario with no demand response capability and deployment of EVs/PHEVs to 2050. In this case, peak demand increases faster than overall consumption – 29% over the 2010 value by 2050. When some level of scheduling spreads out the charging of EVs/ PHEVs over the course of the day, the increase in peak demand is reduced to 19% over the 2010 value. When both scheduled charging and V2G are deployed, peak demand increases by only 12% by 2050. With the addition of demand response, peak demand could be held steady at 2010 values.
Regional scenarios for deployment to 2050
This roadmap compares the impact of smart grids on system operation among four regions, combining the ETP BLUE Map Scenario with the SGMAX and SGMIN scenarios. In the SGMIN BLUE Map Scenario, deployments of clean energy technology such as VarRE and EVs/PHEVs are significant, but policy support for smart grids is modest. In the SGMAX BLUE Map Scenario, deployments of clean energy technology such as varRE and EVs/PHEVs are the same as in the SGMIN case, but the policy support for smart grids is strong. Tables 7 and 8 look at the increase in peak demand and overall electricity demand compared with 2010 values for the different regions
Table 7 shows that China will see more growth in electricity demand than the other regions will see in 40 years on a net and percentage basis. The other regions will only see growth in the range of 22% to 32% from 2010 to 2050, and no net growth in the near future because of low economic growth and the deployment of energy efficiency technologies. Some minor reductions in transmission and distribution line losses have been included in the analysis, but they have little impact on overall demand.
Table 8 shows that in all cases, the SGMAX scenario sees a significant decrease in peak demand, providing the opportunity to delay investments in and/or reduce stress on existing infrastructure, especially in the context of new loads such as EVs/ PHEVs. The most interesting case is North America, where a 22% increase in overall electricity demand can be seen, but only a 1% increase in peak demand by 2050 in the SGMAX case. China’s overall demand growth has a dramatic effect on the country’s peak demand over 2010 levels and is the dominant driver for this increase in the analysis. In other regions, peak demand is increased by deployment of EVs/PHEVs and greater use of electricity in buildings. All regions except China show that the deployment of smart grids, even to a minimum level, can decrease the rate of peak load demand to a level below overall demand growth.
Interpreting results and further analysis
The regional results provide guidance for the types of pathways that each region might follow as they develop smart grids. China has the opportunity to deploy smart grid technologies to better plan and design the new infrastructure that is being built, thereby reducing the negative impacts on peak demand from the deployment of EVs/PHEVs. OECD Europe and OECD Pacific demonstrate similar trends with respect to all drivers, but OECD Europe shows the highest peak demand of the OECD regions considered. OECD Europe also must manage deployment within an older infrastructure base and with higher deployments of variable generation technology. OECD North America can benefit significantly from the deployment of smart grids, given that it is the largest electricity market in the world and has an ageing infrastructure, especially at the transmission level. A North American smart grid pathway might therefore focus on the benefits of demand response and transmission system monitoring and management.
This roadmap provides some insights into the benefits and possible regional pathways for smart grids deployment, but more analysis is needed, particularly of the generation side, to provide a more complete picture of system performance. Additional regional examination is also needed to consider specific system attributes. Major characteristics of developing countries were not considered in this modelling, and should be added to provide insights into developing regions.
Smart grid CO2 emissions reduction estimates to 2050
Although electricity consumption only represents 17% of final energy use today, it leads to 40% of global CO2 emissions, largely because almost 70% of electricity is produced from fossil fuels (IEA, 2010). In the ETP BLUE Map Scenario, as a result of decarbonisation, electricity generation contributes only 21% of global CO2 emissions, representing an annual reduction of over 20 Gt of CO2 by 2050. Smart grid technologies will be needed to enable these emissions reductions. Direct reductions will occur through feedback on energy usage, lower line losses, accelerated deployment of energy efficiency programmes, continuous commissioning of service sector load, and energy savings due to peak load management. Indirect benefits arise from smart grid support for the wider introduction of electric vehicles and variable renewable generation.
Taking these direct and indirect emissions reductions into account, the ETP BLUE Map Scenario estimates that smart grids offer the potential to achieve net annual emissions reductions of 0.7 Gt to 2.1 Gt of CO2 by 2050 (Figure 13). North America shows the highest potential for CO2 emissions reduction in the OECD, while China has highest potential among non OECD member countries.
Estimating smart grid investment costs and operating savings
A high-level cost/benefit analysis is vital for the deployment of smart grids. Work carried out so far in the roadmap process is providing the foundation for such an analysis, but more effort is needed as additional data and modelling become available. The cost discussion needs to include the three main electricity stakeholders: utilities, consumers and society.
Utilities will experience both costs and savings in the deployment of smart grids, in the areas of operating and capital expenditure. The deployment of new generation (such as variable generation) and end-use technologies (such as electric vehicles) could increase the need for investment in infrastructure, therefore raising capital expenditures; but smart grids have the potential to reduce peak demand, better manage generation from both variable and dispatchable sources, and therefore reduce the potential increases in conventional infrastructure costs. Operating savings can come from decreased costs for maintenance, metering and billing, and fuel savings through increased efficiencies and other areas.
Electricity production costs fluctuate according to basic supply and demand conditions in the market, generation variability (such as unplanned outages), system congestion and the prices of commodities such as oil, gas, coal and nuclear fuel. In markets where consumers are billed using pricing schemes that do not vary based on real production costs (flat-rate based pricing), there is no real- or near real-time link to production costs and consumption. Smart grids can help consumers manage energy use – by taking advantage of lower off-peak prices, for example – so that even if the price of electricity is significantly higher during peak times, their monthly or annual bills would change little. Technology that can accomplish this varies in industrial, service and consumer sectors; some of it is mature and has been deployed for many years, especially in the industrial sectors. Further study is required of the costs and benefits and behavioural aspects of electricity usage in order to identify solutions that enable consumers to manage electricity better and minimise costs.
The environmental costs and security benefits to society of the electricity system are not completely taken into account in current regulatory frameworks for production, use and market arrangements. Companies typically invest large amounts of capital to build electricity system assets and receive regulated rates of return over a long time period – especially in the transmission and distribution sectors. In the current technologically mature market, this is a low-risk, low-reward model. Future grid regulation, however, will need to incorporate factors such as greenhouse gas emission reductions and system security into operating costs. For smart grid deployment to become a reality, all stakeholders must bear their fair share of benefits, costs and risks – especially end-users, who ultimately pay for the electricity service. This can only happen through clever market design and regulation, and sustained stakeholder engagement that will enable new technology demonstration or deployment at an acceptable level of risk, taking into account the existing status of the system as well as future needs. If this is accomplished, the costs and benefits can be rationalised and defended, ensuring the development of a clean, secure and economical electricity system.

You visit a market, some other public place or go any where else, one thing that you get every where without fail is pollution. In India it is a common feature, with a few exceptions here and there, every where. In a city like Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh, India), the situation is just worse. Pigs moving in herds in different streets is a common feature and if you venture to dispute such a movement, it takes no time for their owners to take cudgels collectively against the people who do so. Crude dust and filth flies in the air like a spray, and howsoever best you do to cover up your face as a protection, it hardly works. There is labour engaged by the respective health divisions of different organisation to clear the garbage, but nothing is done in practical terms. Besides this, there is another menace called noise pollution. Forget surroundings of your home where there are bursing explosives used even if it is nothing like a festive occasion, say like Diwali. During such a festive occasion, the situation gets further worse. A nuisance of this type causes great problems for the children who attend to their home work at home as they just are unable to do it on the face of bursting noise. Even if you go to some local park to escape from such a nuisance, there too you find herds of boys indulging into cracking of the explosives which are so loud that it looks like they are piercing your ear drums. If you run away from the park too like you did by leaving your house, you just can’t find an alternative to this. A friend of mine was telling me that when he is fed up with such a nuisance, he opts for going to some picture hall to have at least three hours of away from noise pollution, but then what after that. Pollution of all kinds is the order of the day, and there seems no sign of any relief against this even in days to come, like the problems on all counts in our country. Like corruption and soaring prices, the noise pollution too is one of the many evils which our country suffers from.

AssumptionsAssumptionsAssumptionsAssumptions
• The population distribution of the scores is symmetric
• Sample is a simple random sample from the population. That is, observations are independent of one another
• Sample size is large enough for $z$ to be approximately normally distributed. Rule of thumb:
• Significance test: number of successes and number of failures are each 5 or more in both sample groups
• Regular (large sample) 90%, 95%, or 99% confidence interval: number of successes and number of failures are each 10 or more in both sample groups
• Plus four 90%, 95%, or 99% confidence interval: sample sizes of both groups are 5 or more
• Group 1 sample is a simple random sample (SRS) from population 1, group 2 sample is an independent SRS from population 2. That is, within and between groups, observations are independent of one another
• Difference scores are normally distributed in the population
• Sample of difference scores is a simple random sample from the population of difference scores. That is, difference scores are independent of one another
• In the population, the residuals are normally distributed at each combination of values of the independent variables
• In the population, the standard deviation $\sigma$ of the residuals is the same for each combination of values of the independent variables (homoscedasticity)
• In the population, the relationship between the independent variables and the mean of the dependent variable $\mu_y$ is linear. If this linearity assumption holds, the mean of the residuals is 0 for each combination of values of the independent variables
• The residuals are independent of one another
• Variables are measured without error
Also pay attention to:
• Multicollinearity
• Outliers
Test statisticTest statisticTest statisticTest statistic
Two different types of test statistics can be used, but both will result in the same test outcome. We will denote the first option the $W_1$ statistic (also known as the $T$ statistic), and the second option the $W_2$ statistic. In order to compute each of the test statistics, follow the steps below:
1. For each subject, compute the sign of the difference score $\mbox{sign}_d = \mbox{sgn}(\mbox{score} - m_0)$. The sign is 1 if the difference is larger than zero, -1 if the diffence is smaller than zero, and 0 if the difference is equal to zero.
2. For each subject, compute the absolute value of the difference score $|\mbox{score} - m_0|$.
3. Exclude subjects with a difference score of zero. This leaves us with a remaining number of difference scores equal to $N_r$.
4. Assign ranks $R_d$ to the $N_r$ remaining absolute difference scores. The smallest absolute difference score corresponds to a rank score of 1, and the largest absolute difference score corresponds to a rank score of $N_r$. If there are ties, assign them the average of the ranks they occupy.
Then compute the test statistic:
• $W_1 = \sum\, R_d^{+}$
or
$W_1 = \sum\, R_d^{-}$
That is, sum all ranks corresponding to a positive difference or sum all ranks corresponding to a negative difference. Theoratically, both definitions will result in the same test outcome. However:
• Tables with critical values for $W_1$ are usually based on the smaller of $\sum\, R_d^{+}$ and $\sum\, R_d^{-}$. So if you are using such a table, pick the smaller one.
• If you are using the normal approximation to find the $p$ value, it makes things most straightforward if you use $W_1 = \sum\, R_d^{+}$ (if you use $W_1 = \sum\, R_d^{-}$, the right and left sided alternative hypotheses 'flip').
• $W_2 = \sum\, \mbox{sign}_d \times R_d$
That is, for each remaining difference score, multiply the rank of the absolute difference score by the sign of the difference score, and then sum all of the products.
$z = \dfrac{p_1 - p_2}{\sqrt{p(1 - p)\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{n_1} + \dfrac{1}{n_2}\Bigg)}}$
Here $p_1$ is the sample proportion of successes in group 1: $\dfrac{X_1}{n_1}$, $p_2$ is the sample proportion of successes in group 2: $\dfrac{X_2}{n_2}$, $p$ is the total proportion of successes in the sample: $\dfrac{X_1 + X_2}{n_1 + n_2}$, $n_1$ is the sample size of group 1, and $n_2$ is the sample size of group 2.
Note: we could just as well compute $p_2 - p_1$ in the numerator, but then the left sided alternative becomes $\pi_2 < \pi_1$, and the right sided alternative becomes $\pi_2 > \pi_1.$
$t = \dfrac{\bar{y} - \mu_0}{s / \sqrt{N}}$
Here $\bar{y}$ is the sample mean of the difference scores, $\mu_0$ is the population mean of the difference scores according to the null hypothesis, $s$ is the sample standard deviation of the difference scores, and $N$ is the sample size (number of difference scores).
The denominator $s / \sqrt{N}$ is the standard error of the sampling distribution of $\bar{y}$. The $t$ value indicates how many standard errors $\bar{y}$ is removed from $\mu_0$.
$F$ test for the complete regression model:
• \begin{aligned}[t] F &= \dfrac{\sum (\hat{y}_j - \bar{y})^2 / K}{\sum (y_j - \hat{y}_j)^2 / (N - K - 1)}\\ &= \dfrac{\mbox{sum of squares model} / \mbox{degrees of freedom model}}{\mbox{sum of squares error} / \mbox{degrees of freedom error}}\\ &= \dfrac{\mbox{mean square model}}{\mbox{mean square error}} \end{aligned}
where $\hat{y}_j$ is the predicted score on the dependent variable $y$ of subject $j$, $\bar{y}$ is the mean of $y$, $y_j$ is the score on $y$ of subject $j$, $N$ is the total sample size, and $K$ is the number of independent variables.
$t$ test for individual $\beta_k$:
• $t = \dfrac{b_k}{SE_{b_k}}$
• If only one independent variable:
$SE_{b_1} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\sum (y_j - \hat{y}_j)^2 / (N - 2)}}{\sqrt{\sum (x_j - \bar{x})^2}} = \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{\sum (x_j - \bar{x})^2}}$
with $s$ the sample standard deviation of the residuals, $x_j$ the score of subject $j$ on the independent variable $x$, and $\bar{x}$ the mean of $x$. For models with more than one independent variable, computing $SE_{b_k}$ is more complicated.
Note 1: mean square model is also known as mean square regression, and mean square error is also known as mean square residual.
Note 2: if there is only one independent variable in the model ($K = 1$), the $F$ test for the complete regression model is equivalent to the two sided $t$ test for $\beta_1.$

Sampling distribution of $W_1$:
If $N_r$ is large, $W_1$ is approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu_{W_1}$ and standard deviation $\sigma_{W_1}$ if the null hypothesis were true. Here $$\mu_{W_1} = \frac{N_r(N_r + 1)}{4}$$ $$\sigma_{W_1} = \sqrt{\frac{N_r(N_r + 1)(2N_r + 1)}{24}}$$ Hence, if $N_r$ is large, the standardized test statistic $$z = \frac{W_1 - \mu_{W_1}}{\sigma_{W_1}}$$ follows approximately the standard normal distribution if the null hypothesis were true.
Sampling distribution of $W_2$:
If $N_r$ is large, $W_2$ is approximately normally distributed with mean $0$ and standard deviation $\sigma_{W_2}$ if the null hypothesis were true. Here $$\sigma_{W_2} = \sqrt{\frac{N_r(N_r + 1)(2N_r + 1)}{6}}$$ Hence, if $N_r$ is large, the standardized test statistic $$z = \frac{W_2}{\sigma_{W_2}}$$ follows approximately the standard normal distribution if the null hypothesis were true.
If $N_r$ is small, the exact distribution of $W_1$ or $W_2$ should be used.
Note: if ties are present in the data, the formula for the standard deviations $\sigma_{W_1}$ and $\sigma_{W_2}$ is more complicated.

--Cohen's $d$:
Standardized difference between the sample mean of the difference scores and $\mu_0$: $$d = \frac{\bar{y} - \mu_0}{s}$$ Cohen's $d$ indicates how many standard deviations $s$ the sample mean of the difference scores $\bar{y}$ is removed from $\mu_0.$
Complete model:
• Proportion variance explained $R^2$:
Proportion variance of the dependent variable $y$ explained by the sample regression equation (the independent variables):
\begin{align} R^2 &= \dfrac{\sum (\hat{y}_j - \bar{y})^2}{\sum (y_j - \bar{y})^2}\\ &= \dfrac{\mbox{sum of squares model}}{\mbox{sum of squares total}}\\ &= 1 - \dfrac{\mbox{sum of squares error}}{\mbox{sum of squares total}}\\ &= r(y, \hat{y})^2 \end{align}
$R^2$ is the proportion variance explained in the sample by the sample regression equation. It is a positively biased estimate of the proportion variance explained in the population by the population regression equation, $\rho^2$. If there is only one independent variable, $R^2 = r^2$: the correlation between the independent variable $x$ and dependent variable $y$ squared.
• Wherry's $R^2$ / shrunken $R^2$:
Corrects for the positive bias in $R^2$ and is equal to $$R^2_W = 1 - \frac{N - 1}{N - K - 1}(1 - R^2)$$
$R^2_W$ is a less biased estimate than $R^2$ of the proportion variance explained in the population by the population regression equation, $\rho^2.$
• Stein's $R^2$:
Estimates the proportion of variance in $y$ that we expect the current sample regression equation to explain in a different sample drawn from the same population. It is equal to $$R^2_S = 1 - \frac{(N - 1)(N - 2)(N + 1)}{(N - K - 1)(N - K - 2)(N)}(1 - R^2)$$
Per independent variable:
• Correlation squared $r^2_k$: the proportion of the total variance in the dependent variable $y$ that is explained by the independent variable $x_k$, not corrected for the other independent variables in the model
• Semi-partial correlation squared $sr^2_k$: the proportion of the total variance in the dependent variable $y$ that is uniquely explained by the independent variable $x_k$, beyond the part that is already explained by the other independent variables in the model
• Partial correlation squared $pr^2_k$: the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable $y$ not explained by the other independent variables, that is uniquely explained by the independent variable $x_k$

Winding roads, deep green forests, villages of stone forgotten in time… In England I created my own fairytale together with my travel companion Darren. We set out to see if England really had everything we thought to offer. What about all the beautiful things you see in series like Midsomer Murders and Sherlock or movies like Alice in Wonderland and Stardust. On our road trip we visit the Cotswolds, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire and London during five days of travel and lots of breaks along the way. (full photo album at bottom. All photos taken with 40 mm lens or iPhone.)
After spending about two hours in the car rental village at Stansted airport due to unexpected cancellation and systems being down we finally get a car. The first drive out on “the wrong side of the street” makes my heart beat a bit faster than usual. However, after a while it makes sense and I stop gasping every time we make a turn. My travel companion, who is Australian, handels it just great being used to left traffic both in Australia and having lived in England.
Our first stop is Thame aka Causton from the very famous series with the “cute” murders, Midsomer Murders. On a Sunday the village is rather sleepy and we don’t spot one single little kill during the hour we spend there. However we followed a recommendation from a local man who spotted our touristy flickering eyes and sent us to The Birdcage, an old pub with award winning pies. The pub is very nice, the pies not as much. But at least ateable and with the feeling of “real British” we feel satisfied anyway.
We head over to Oxford for a quick stop. During that one hour we never get rid of the cathedral bells ringing in our ears everywhere we go. Charming for a while. Tiering after a longer while. Oxford is pretty much as you imagine. Full of knowledge thirsty students with high ambitions and tourists with the ambitions of seeing as much as possible as quick as possible. The hustle and bustle is just enough to really long for the quiet countryside. We head off to the Cotswolds. After finding our way in on some smaller roads we drive in to the village of Bibury. The cuteness is overwhelming. We have to stop. We park and walk into the church where two men welcome us in to look at the art and flowers. I love flowers, but I love coffee more. Two older ladies sell brewed coffee and homemade cakes in the corner of the church. I instantly walk over and ask what cake is the best and most British I could get. I get the Victoria sponge, coffee and a delightful conversation between the locals as an extra treat. I must say, even if Bibury might be a sleepy little village it must be wonderful to grow old in and I can’t help imagine myself there in 40 years.
Right when we think we have seen Bibury and are about to drive to the next stop, wherever that might be, we stop again after about 200 meters by a wooden bridge that leads over the narrow river to a street of old stone houses. In fact, pretty much every house on the entire trip is made of stone. Not like the wooden red and white houses I am more used to in Sweden. This is Arlington Row, one of the most photographed places in the Cotswolds and the set for a scene in the movie Stardust.
After about 30 more minutes we are finally on our way on narrow, winding roads to the city of Bath and our hotel for the night. We decided to book the first night being afraid of being too tired to search for a b&b after getting up at 3:30 to catch the flight. We first miss the road to Combe Manor which is hidden around a corner on a winding street above Bath. Second time we make it after nearly missing it again. The place we arrive to could be taken straight out of Alice in Wonderland. The views, the interior, the crocket poles in the shape of flamingos, the tea room and the rabbits running around everywhere as being in a hurry for tea. Everything about Britain so far could have been taken from different fairytales.
Combe Manor is also a country club with a tennis court, driving range and two pools on the grounds. This together with a nice selection of food at reasonable prices little is left to ask for, except for the beds which quickly throw me in to the story of The Princess and the Pea except this bed could have been made of just peas… or rocks. Every spring sticks into my back. I decide to lie on the duvet to soften the brutalness of the bed. Even though a comfortable bed is of big importance the hotel is so nice that we decide to stay another night.
The next day we go for a ten minute drive which takes us to a farm shop I have found online. Hartley Farm has everything you can ask for in a farm shop together with a great café. I buy locally produced products for about 30 quid and I happily pay. The farm is so inviting that if I ate meat, this would definitely be the place to do it.
After the most undramatic accident where a man has collapsed in the shop, maybe due to the heat (it is 27 degrees celsius and full on sun), we head on to Bath.
Bath is a beautiful city with the old Roman baths as their number one attraction. Unfortunately I decide to not bring my camera as I want to stroll around and enjoy without feeling the pressure of snapping a good shot. Just trust my words when I say Bath is well worth a visit, or two, if you are close by.
Next day we decide to drive pass Glastonbury, where the world famous music festival took place two months earlier. If Oxford had students with high ambitions, Glastonbury has a population of locals with the ambition of getting high. We land in full on hippie central. Colourful and friendly, Glastonbury is the home of witchcraft and stories well beyond Harry Potter and worth a visit whether you are into this or not.
Next stop is Clovelly. This is yet another fairytale. A village you enter through a giftshop, not too far from a magic closet really. No cars are allowed in here, fact is no cars can drive in the village where there is basically just one steep cobbled street. Some years ago donkeys took the locals groceries down the hill but since a few years it has been considered animal cruelty, why the donkeys now are left with nothing to do. It will cost you 7 pounds to enter Clovelly, to help make sure the village stays the way it is, but if you stay over you get the money back. That making it very reasonable to stay at The New Inn b&b. After 6:30 P.M the village is “closed”. It is only locals and people staying in the Inn or at the hotel down by the water that remain in the village. But it almost feels like we are alone. We take an evening walk down to the water where the tide has been cruel to some of the ocean living creatures not fast enough to escape. The water is boiling with fish seeking shelter and a boy stands on the pier fishing in hope to catch dinner for a few days. He say he has caught two so far.
– I want the mackerels. I get others but I throw them back.
We ask if he has lived in the village all his life and if there are any other kids for him to play with.
– I grew up here. My grandfather was a fisherman. But is has died out.
He is silent for a while to concentrate on the next throw.
– There used to be more kids. But is has dies out, he says in a calm voice.
In a way it feels a bit sad but the fact is that the village seems to survive anyway. There is one family that owns everything and it has only been three families so far since the 1300’s (Clovelly was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086). To rent a house here one has to come on a longer stay to see the ups and downs with the village.
– If you want to buy a couch, you have to get it down yourself, a local tells us. Not the easiest task on a steep cobble street.
I meet a woman and one of her owls, named Merlin (I guess one of her others was already called Archimedes) outside of the bed & breakfast. She charges 1 Pound to hold her little darling and I can’t resist. She needs to make her living too and I think she has found something that works well in the village of Clovelly where everything, for understandable reasons, seems to have frozen in time.
After a quick visit to Hartland Abbey meeting the nicest of people and almost staying for the David Walliams play “Rat Burger” later in the evening, we head towards Tintagel Castle, famous for, according to legend, being the birthplace of King Arthur. (Tintagel, aka Terrabil said to have been home of Arthur’s mother Igraine, her daughter Morgana Le Fay (father Gorlois) and Arthur’s father Uther Pendragon who with Merlins help took the shape of Gorlois to be with Igraine.)
Moving forward on our fairytale trip through the landscapes of the legend of King Arthur, Merlin and Excalibur we start off with taking the wrong way from Hartland. But this and not really having a plan set in stone (pun somewhat intended) turns out to be the best of plans. We stop at a farm shop in Boscastle (a village where parts of From Hell was filmed) to get me my caffein fix. This pit stop proves very successful as we stumble upon a well informed Irish gentleman out for a brist walk along the beautiful coast of Devon and Cornwall. He will treat himself to a beer in the café at the shop and he seems to be rather thirsty. But he still takes time to tell us about some things worth seeing very close by.
– There is a waterfall, gorgeous and very easy to miss, he says in a broad Belfast accent while trying to shake off the very persistent flying ants that wants to make their pit stop on his head and face. It is very spiritual, he continues. You just stop right when entering Tintagel. You will see it because there will be cars parked there on the street.
I make a mental note and can’t wait to go and check this place out. But the Irish man continues.
– If you go to Tintagel, don’t go to the castle. Too many tourists there and very exploited. Drive through the village, take left and go to Camelot, the hotel that is built as a castle. From there you will have a view and be alone.
With these tips we greatfully bid the man a lovely rest and head off.
The Irish man was right. If we had not known about the waterfall we would have missed it. He warned us there was a bit of a walk through the forest and right he was. It is not an easy walk but it is beautiful. Having been in the forests of Brasil I must say with the water flowing through like the veins pumping this forests heart and the ivy climbing the trees like skin protects our bones this forest isn’t far from the deep tropical ones further south. With the heatwave that has hit UK the humidity isn’t too far off either.
When we reach the destination it seems a few more knew of this so called secret. Kids, dogs and grown-ups make the otherwise spiritual and calm part of the forest feel like a busy Oxford Street. I admit, that is a slight exaggeration, but to me the forest has always been a very calm place where I am alone. I don’t mind sharing this experience however. The “new path” to the waterfall is a bit contrived with brick-a-brac along the way. The “old path” is just the forest in its natural glory and something both me and my travel companion enjoys a lot more.
After having a simple lunch consisting of sandwiches and crisps right by the fall we walk back to the car and head of to Tintagel Castle. We drive through the village and left, just like the Irish man told us. The view from the castle like hotel named Camelot, for rather obvious reasons, is stunning. We are almost alone on this side and can enjoy the full view of the cliff, the ruins and even a play as the powerful voices of the actors bounce between the cliffs. We know this will probably be out last top view so we stay for a while to take it all in before we head up north.
Along the way we decide that Salisbury is a good stop to spend the night before heading into London the next day. We take the road pass Stonehenge in the hopes of being able to get close enough despite it being closed at this time of the night. But being a few years since my company had been there, they had moved to new road to open the old one, making traffic pass it further away. In all honesty that is more suiting a historic treasure like this.
With the hotel is Salisbury we can check of “staying bove a pub” on our “to-do-list”. As we wake up rather early we head off to Southampton before London. This proves to be the low point of the stay in England as the city is not quite what we had set our minds on for this trip. Due to being a victim of rather hard war not much of the charm is left in this harbour city that was the home of Titanic before she went under. We make our stay short and jump in the car to drive towards London and our last day in England.
My favorite shopping destination in London is Spitalfields Market by Liverpool Street Station. Today it is Thursday and that means the market is heavy on antiques. We are drawn to the taxidermy stall with the most strange, beautiful, morbid or whatever you like, creating can be found. The owner of Spitalfields Taxidermy (www.spitalfieldstaxidermy.com) tells us he is a bit hung-over after a really wet night but that he is happy to try and answer any questions we have. He tells us about the human skulls, the young kid’s skull, the glass eyes and the other memories of lives lost.
After a long look at what Spitalfields have to offer we head off to Oxford Street and Selfridges to admire the beautiful window displays that is just one of the things this department store is famous for. If you are a sucker for British series and a lover of the beginning of the 1900’s, then I suggest you watch Mr Selfridge, the series about the founder Gordon Selfridge and his life. The discretion of female make up and perfume during the beginning of the last century is but a distant memory as we now enter Selfridges or any other department store with perfume and make up front and center together with displays of underwear and other things considered inapprorpiate when our great grandparents were toddlers.
London is a great way to end our stay in England as we in the evening set the GPS to a hotel outside of Stansted to catch the early morning flight back to Stockholm.
In the car back from the airport I say:
– I need to go somewhere warm…
I am already planning my next trip despite the fact that I will only be home a couple of days before the next adventure going to Lofoten of a photo trip with my father. England has given me the taste for more, a lot more, as every trip does.
To sum it up, despite no murders in Thame, everything I have ever thought (and hoped for) regarding England was true. Cute villages, perfectly charming farm shops, extremely polite people, breathtaking landscapes… almost like a real fairytale. What can I say but RULE BRITANNIA!

People throughout history have been intrigued by the question, “What is human nature?”
Psychology’s approach to this topic is aimed at understanding basic patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. It uses a variety of scientific methods, including interviews, case studies, field observations, neurophysiological recordings, and controlled experimentation.
What is human nature?
Psychology’s fund of knowledge has grown very rapidly over the past century. We now have a much clearer understanding of how people learn, how childhood experiences affect adult personality, how people influence one another during normal social relations, how to treat emotional and behavioral problems, how the brain’s biochemistry influences behavior, and many other significant topics.

1. ## Green and Yellow hats again, but harder
In games of this type every guess, on average, is wrong 50% of the time. For the 3-prisoner strategy, if we count the number of guesses made in all 8 cases, we find six of them are correct and six are incorrect. We "rescue" the other cases, (when both colors are seen, and no guidance is available,) with the "Pass" option. The same is true in the previous G-Y puzzle. The difference is that in the first puzzle every wrong guess produced a fatality, so survival also was only 50%. In the 3-prisoner case here, death uses up three wrong guesses (while survival still requires only a single correct guess.) We "packed" the incorrect guesses into the fewest possible of the eight cases and thus raised survival to 75%. But since 2x3 = 6x1 randomness still got its due. The 3-prisoner solution is trimmed-down version of the n-prisoner strategy. Have fun...
2. ## Green and Yellow hats again, but harder
As promised, a harder hat problem. Prisoners are seated in a circle so they can see all the others. This time the warden flips a fair coin for each prisoner and gives him a yellow or green hat, accordingly. Once all the hats have been placed, and have been seen by the others, prisoners are taken aside singly and given the opportunity to guess the color of his hat. And if instead he chooses not to guess, he is permitted to pass. Now comes the bad part. Unless at least one prisoner guesses, and all the prisoners who do guess are correct, all the prisoners will be executed. That's right, survival requires perfection from every prisoner who guesses his color. Prisoners decide on a strategy beforehand, and after the first hat is placed there is no further communication. Clearly, there can be a single "designated guesser" who ... just ... guesses a color. Half the time they all survive. But what kind of a puzzle would that be? Yes, incredibly, the prisoners can do much better. How? Maybe thinking about a three-prisoner case will answer that question. Once you're convinced they can do better than a coin toss, find their best strategy.
3. ## Best words
Have fun with this one. A bull stands in a pasture, unaware that he has just swallowed a time bomb that is due to explode in five minutes. Which word best describes the situation? Awful Abominable Dreadful Shocking Five minutes have passed, and all that's visible from the above scene is a sizable hole in the ground and scraps of bone and flesh. Which word best describes this situation? Amazing Silly Messy Noble
4. ## Where are we?
What shall I do, Gerry? Asking nutty questions can be most annoying A gold key is not a common key. Horace tries in school to be a very good boy. People who drive too fast are likely to be arrested. Did I ever tell you, Bill, I once found a dollar? John came late to his arithmetic class. I enjoy listening to music at night.
5. ## The word that won't quit being a word
Can you write down a 9-letter word that permits you to erase it, one letter at a time, such that after each erasure a valid (English) word remains? (As implied, the letter order remains the same throughout.) Clue: Example:
6. ## What's the only word?
Here are nine words before, after, and in-between which only one word can be placed that gives ten different meanings to the sentence. The word is used only once, in only one space at a time, to obtain the ten different meanings. What's the only word that works? _____ TOM _____ HELPED _____ MARY'S _____ DAUGHTER _____ CLEAN _____ MARY'S _____ PARROT'S _____ CAGE _____ YESTERDAY _____.
7. ## Circles covering a rectangle
@Molly Mae Fair question.
8. ## Random triangles in a circle
Yay! And does it seem strange to anyone else that something 7% the size of the circle on average covers the center 25% of the time? (My red herring was soooo totally ignored. Good job for doing that.)
Ah!
10. ## Random triangles in a circle
Kudos to all. @flamebirde set up an attack framework, @Izzy got the puzzle to its knees, @Molly Mae knocked it out for the count and finally @plasmid, who just might have a penchant for shooting rabbits with elephant guns, put a bullet through its head. To sort out the credits I'll don my judge's robes and presume to declare a verdict: @flamebirde told us it's all about angles. (Honorable mention. +1) @Molly Mae made four (equal) quadrants, which I have in my solution, and gave the right answer but didn't prove it, then switched to the @flamebirde - @Izzy model and backed up the answer with a word proof. (FTW) What must have been only moments later, @Izzy put numbers on things but, probably exhausted from her class, got the wrong number. (Honorable mention. +1) @plasmid dazzled us with calculus symbols and cold-blooded math to lay the newly-deceased puzzle to rest. (also Honorable mention, +1 but it doesn't seem enough. Timing is everything.) As I followed your discussion, (credit to you all) it occurred to me that this might be the simplest non-math approach:
11. ## Random triangles in a circle
@Molly Mae and @Izzy you both
12. ## Ants on a checkerboard
Right so far, and the one not yet calculated is interesting.
14. ## Green and Yellow hats
This approach saves |n/2| prisoners, and that is optimal.
15. ## Jelly beans join the clean plate club
That's it. Binary representation of B/A indicates moves to make B smaller than A was. Rinse and repeat. Nice.
16. ## Green and Yellow hats
OK so I see MM quoting an Izzy post, but I don't see that original post. Can I invite Izzy to repost it, with complete description? Because ... it's the solution. Nice solve.
17. ## Ants on a checkerboard
Two ants named Al and Bert sit at diagonal corners of a checkerboard and decide to change places. Al, at the lower left, walks randomly upward or to the right, and Bert, at the upper right, walks randomly downward or to the left. They follow the boundaries of the checkerboard squares. That is, except when following the extreme boundary of the checkerboard, their left and right feet always touch squares of opposite color. What is the probability of their meeting (1) if they walk at the same speed, or (2) if Al walks 3 times as fast as Bert?
18. ## Green and Yellow hats
Red herring (which I think you've figured out)
Hint:
20. ## Buried Proverb
Not sure if ... answer is in the title Sell to? Yes. I fixed the OP. Good catch. When I see ... right track.
21. ## "Flipping" Dimes and Pennies
Place two dimes and two pennies in a line with a space between them like this: P P D D _ _ _ _ _ Using a sequence of moves, switch the two groups of coins to achieve this position: D D P P _ _ _ _ _ Moves are of two types: slide a coin to an (adjacent) empty space. jump a coin over another coin into an empty space. Type (1) move: P P D D _ _ _ _ _ Type (2) move: P D P D _ _ _ _ _ The underlines show the (only) five legal locations for the coins to occupy. What is the smallest number of moves needed?
22. ## Buried Proverb
The word buried here has but one letter. Did you find a jelly roll in Gearhardt's Bakery? It's the best one I've ever seen. The rug at her stairway was made in India. He's an old friend. Amos sold his bicycle to an old friend.
Yes and yes.

The development and evaluation of the Finnish Matrix Sentence Test for speech intelligibility assessment
Aarno Dietz, Michael Buschermöhle, Antti A. Aarnisalo, Annukka Vanhanen, Taneli Hyyrynen, Olli Aaltonen, Melanie A. Zokoll, Birger Kollmeier (2014) Acta Oto-Laryngologica, vol. 134(7), pp. 728–737
Conclusion: The Finnish Matrix Test is the first sentence test in noise for the Finnish language. It was developed according to the HearCom standards and provides reliable speech intelligibility measurements with highly comparable results with the other international matrix tests.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to develop an accurate speech intelligibility test in noise for the Finnish language that is comparable across different languages.
Methods: We chose a matrix sentence test, which comprises a base matrix of 10 names, verbs, numerals, adjectives and nouns. Test lists were formed from this matrix quasi randomly, providing test sentences of the same syntactical structure. The speech material corresponds to everyday spoken language and the phoneme distribution is representative of the Finnish language. The test was optimized by determining the speech recognition thresholds of the individual words and subsequently by applying level corrections of up to ±3 dB. Evaluation measurements were performed to check the equivalence of the different test lists with respect to speech intelligibility and to provide reference values for further clinical applications.
Results: After training, the mean speech recognition threshold (SRT) and the slope of the final test lists were -10.1 ± 0.1 dB signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR)and 16.7 ± 1.2%/dB, respectively (measurements at constant level; inter-list variability). The mean SRT and the slope of the test subjects were -10.1 ± 0.7 dB SNR and 17.5 ± 2.2%/dB (measurements at constant level; inter-subject variability).

Even if you feel that your lifestyle has worsened or you try to improve them but do not make it, then you can add some habits gradually to the routine. Have a look on Healthy Habits for Life –
Daily a Fruit
To fit into professional and personal life, you need to be physically and mentally fit. In addition to food, at least one fruit daily, whether apples, oranges, bananas, or guava can be taken. As the food will keep you fit, the work of the fruit will be to maintain energy.
Fix your meals
If you have a habit of eating, even after taking meal, then make improvement. Decide when to eat with a diet plan. Apart from breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there may be some light food in the middle of these three.
Drink water as much as you can
Frequently employers do not have time to drink water. This is also one of the reasons that makes the person feel tired and upset. Water works as a kind of stress booster that will help to prevent your negativity and also avoid diseases. Due to cold, the person drinks less water than usual, which is wrong. If you can not drink cold water, then drink lukewarm water.
Avoid extra salt
Salt more than needed can be harmful to health. Try to use salt in a limited quantity otherwise it can make you a patient of high BP. Especially those who are suffering from cardiovascular diseases should be avoided from salt. Eating more salt leads to the loss of skin glow.
Do not smoke
A cigarette can cause a person to suffer from many diseases. For the healthy life, gradually decrease the habit of smoking, drinking, and chewing tobacco. It can not only make you sick, but also your family members and your colleagues in the office.
Distance from Ready to eat Food
Preservatives and chemicals are often used in making ready-to-eat food such as noodles, chips etc. found in the market. Because of this, they can be stored for a long time. Sometimes these things can be taken for taste, but their excess can lead to many big-small diseases.

अच्छी सेहत के लिए टिप्स
अभी भी यदि आपको लगता है कि आपकी जीवनशैली बिगड़ी हुई है या आप इन्हें सुधारने का प्रयास करते हैं लेकिन कर नहीं पाते तो कुछ आदतों को धीरे-धीरे दिनचर्या में शामिल कर सकते हैं | जाने इन्हें –
रोज एक फल
प्रोफेशनल और पर्सनल लाइफ में बैठाने के लिए जरुरी है कि आप शारीरिक और मानसिक रूप से फिट हों | भोजन के अलावा रोजाना कम से कम एक फल चाहे सेब, संतरा, केला, या अमरुद आदि ले सकते हैं | जिस तरह भोजन आपको फिट रखेगा वैसे फल का काम एनर्जी बनाए रखने का होगा |
मील तय करें
भोजन करने के बावजूद यदि आपकी कुछ खाने की आदत है तो इसे सुधार लें | डाइट प्लान करने के साथ खाने का समय तय करें | जैसे नाश्ता, लंच, और डिनर के अलावा इन तीनो के बीच के समय में कुछ न कुछ हल्का ले सकते हैं |
पानी से बढ़ाएं दोस्ती
अक्सर जॉब करने वालों को पानी पीने तक का समय नहीं मिलता | यही एक कारण भी है जिससे व्यक्ति थका हुआ और परेशान होने लगता है | पानी एक तरह का स्ट्रेस बूस्टर का काम करता है जो आपकी नकारात्मकता को दूर रखने के साथ रोगों से बचाने में मदद करेगा | ठण्ड के कारण भी व्यक्ति सामान्य मात्रा से कम ही पानी पीता है, जो कि गलत है | यदि ठंडा पानी नहीं पी पाते तो पानी को गुनगुना कर पीएं |
अतिरिक्त नमक से बचें
जरुरत से ज्यादा नमक खाना सेहत के लिए नुकसानदायक हो सकता है | कोशिश करें कि खाना बनाते समय ही सीमित मात्रा में ही नमक लें वरना यह आपको हाई बीपी का पेशेंट बना सकता है | खासकर जो लोग पहले से हृदय रोगों से पीड़ित है उन्हें तो बिल्कुल इससे परहेज़ करना चाहिए | ज्यादा नमक खाने से त्वचा की चमक भी खत्म होने लगती है |
धुंए में न उड़ाएं जिंदगी
सिगरेट का एक कश व्यक्ति को कई रोगों से ग्रस्त कर सकता है | सेहतमंद ज़िन्दगी के लिए धीरे-धीरे ही सही धूम्रपान, शराब पीने और तम्बाकू चबाने की आदत से तौबा करे | यह केवल आपको ही नहीं बल्कि आपके साथ आपके परिजन और ऑफिस में सहकर्मियों को भी बीमार बना सकती है |
रेडी टू ईट फ़ूड से दूरी
मार्केट में मिलने वाले नूडल्स, चिप्स आदि जैसे रेडी टू ईट फ़ूड को बनाने में अक्सर preservatives और कैमिकल्स का इस्तेमाल होता है | इस वजह से इन्हें लम्बे समय तक स्टोर किया जा सकता है | कभी-कभी ये चीज़े स्वाद के लिए ली जा सकती है लेकिन इनकी अधिकता कई छोटी-बड़ी बीमारियों को जन्म दे सकती हैं |

Cash4Gold~~~ Have Any of You Tried This?
I keep seeing these ads and commercials, even home parties now, for turning in your old /broken gold jewelry for cash. I admit, I don't know much about it, but I am rather curious. I know I have some old jewelry around that has lost a clasp, gem has fallen out, gifts from old flames, etc. I think it would be great to get some cash for something just laying around, but find it odd to just put it in a bag and send it off somewhere. Does anyone have any experience with this they could share? Fill us in if you have done anything like this and let us know what you thought of the process.

नेशनल डेस्क: पंजाब सरकार द्वारा हर कर्मचारी का डोप टेस्ट कराने के फैसले के बाद राजनीति गरमा गई है। इसे लेकर बयानबाजी का सिलसिला भी शुरू हो गया है। इसी बीच भारतीय जनता पार्टी के वरिष्ठ नेता सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी ने कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी को लेकर विवादित बयान दिया है। स्वामी के अनुसार कांग्रेस को राहुल गांधी का डोप टेस्ट कराना चाहिए, क्योंकि वे भी कोकीन का नशा करते हैं। हालांकि उनके इस बयान को लेकर बड़ा विवाद पैदा हो सकता है।
स्वामी ने हरसिमरत कौर बादल के बयान पर प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए कहा कि केंद्रीय मंत्री ने ७० फीसदी पंजाबियों को नशेड़ी कहने वाले कांग्रेस नेताओं पर जो कटाक्ष किया है उनमें राहुल गांधी भी शामिल हैं। यही नहीं भाजपा नेता ने दावा किया कि अगर कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष डोप टेस्ट कराते है तो निश्चित ही उसमें फेल हो जाएंगे।
बता दें कि पंजाब सरकार की तरफ से मुख्यमंत्री अमरिंदर सिंह नशे के कारोबार और इसका सेवन करने वालों के खिलाफ मुहिम चला रहे हैंं। पंजाब के सीएम ने न सिर्फ नई भर्तियों के दौरान बल्कि हर साल होने वाले प्रमोशन और एनुअल रिपोर्ट तैयार किए जाने के दौरान भी कर्मचारियों का डोप टेस्ट करवाने के लिए नियम बनाने और नोटिफिकेशन जारी करने के निर्देश दिए है। जिस पर हरसिमरत कौर बादल ने कहा था कि इस टेस्ट को जरूर कराना चाहिए लेकिन सबसे पहले उन नेताओं को अपना टेस्ट कराना चाहिए, जिन्होंने पहले भी ७० फीसदी पंजाबियों को नशेड़ी कहा था।

I’m going to keep this one short, I was going to write about this yesterday when I first heard about it, but I honestly thought it would blow over by today and that it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But, my Facebook/Twitter pages are still covered in people talking about this, or rather ranting about talking about this, so I thought I’d share a few of my (hopefully reasonable) thoughts.
You know what I’m talking about. The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has recently been stripping people naked and practically having sex with them inside our airports, if the stories are to be believed. There’s talk about groping and violation and touching tantamount to sexual assault and rape. This makes for very good news stories, and email forwards, and Facebook statuses all about how the “Government” is trying to screw over its ordinary citizens, people are all up in arms about this, and I’m not really sure why.
From the news stories that I have read, even the blog posts from individuals who have been assaulted, I don’t see a big problem. There is just a little more security at airports now, which now involves a pat-down. Well, to be honest, pat-downs have long been used to do a quick feel-search and see if someone is trying to smuggle or conceal something. Police use similar physical touching when they pull someone over or suspect they may have a weapon on them, where’s the furor about that? “Oh, well, those are criminals”, you say. Okay, you may think that, but they really aren’t. They are suspected criminals, we do have a principle of “innocent until proven guilty“, but if Police suspect, or believe an individual may be concealing a weapon or other illicit materials, they are allowed to frisk and pat-down a suspect.
This same situation is all that is happening at airports. TSA officials are frisking and patting-down individuals they suspect, or believe may have concealed weapons or other dangerous materials. And then, just for safety’s sake, they do random pat-downs of other individuals to prevent criminals from planting weapons on others, or from using others to smuggle weapons or explosives for them. That can happen, has happened, so the TSA seeks to make everyone flying a little safer by doing these random checks. Again, these people aren’t criminals, no one believes they are criminals, they are just doing their job of protecting citizens in the best way they know how. If you have any real, viable alternatives (and no, just letting everyone do what they want, is not a viable alternative) I’m sure they’d love to hear them, but in the appropriate settings, using the proper procedure for implementing changes like that. Standing in line and yelling at the TSA official is not that setting nor procedure.
Point Two – No one is forcing you to fly. There are alternatives. If you do not want to subject yourself to the TSA inspection, then you can get to your destination in another way. Your choice. This is not being ‘forced’ upon you, you agree to this by agreeing to fly. The same situation applies in other locations. My wife and I went to visit Washington, D.C. last summer. We wanted to visit some government buildings while we were there. In order to get in we had to pass through a metal detector, and there were occasionally people who were pulled aside and patted-down. Bags and backpacks were searched, as well. No one complained about a violation of privacy or anything because they all knew if they did not want to subject themselves to this all they had to do was turn around and walk away. They did not have to visit that building. But if they did want to visit that building then they would have to agree to and permit a search. That’s just the way it is. If you want something, sometimes you have to pay for it.
Point Three- This is the one that really bugs me. I have seen this quote, statistic, sentiment, whatever you want to call it, spread around quite a bit. “Since 9/11, every single attempted terrorist attack on an aircraft has been thwarted by private citizens, not by the TSA.” That is simply not true. It cannot be true. That is the problem with prevention, when it’s successful you don’t know about it. If a terrorist attack doesn’t happen, do we applaud and congratulate our military, homeland security forces, CIA, FBI, Police, etc.? No, we continue life as normal. But when a terrorist attack does occur, we immediately blame these people for not keeping us safe. I am firmly of the opinion that there are many attacks that are prevented – we just don’t hear about them. But, hey. You’re still alive, so’s the President, all those landmarks you love, still standing, doing fine!
People assume because we haven’t heard about any terrorist attacks that these attacks aren’t happening. I highly doubt that. They are being planned, almost carried out, but because of the marvelous work by our security forces, including spies, we are able to prevent many tragedies. But, we cannot prevent them all. That is too bad, but it’s true. We hear about the attacks that happen on airplanes, being thwarted by normal citizens doing courageous and heroic things, and we assume our government is sitting around twiddling its collective thumbs. But do you know how many attacks get thwarted, stopped before they board the airplane? No. That’s how successful we are.
So, while I do understand that security is a very touchy subject (pardon the pun), please, can we all be a little more polite, a little more civil? If you have problems or concerns with the current state of security screening, by all means, let them know! (Here is a comment and complaint form from their website. Use them.) But yelling at the guard doing his job in the airport, causing a scene is not the proper method for changing things. Neither is Facebook, or Twitter. If you want to change things, get involved. Vote. Run for office. Write letters. Send emails. CONVERSE and DISCUSS. But please don’t shout, don’t scream, don’t be stupid. It just gives the rest of us honest citizens a bad name. Please, I beg you, my fellow Americans, let’s show the world that we can be reasonable and smart. Can we do that? Please?

Why do we build monuments?
Posted on 10/2/17 | Featured, News
Why is the desire to build monuments so strong and lasting? What in us sparks the desire or need to build monuments? The easy answer comes from the word itself, Monument.
The origin of the word comes from a Latin/ French word “Monere”, which means to remind.For thousands of years’ humans have had the desire to be remembered. Inherently, those left after a death take on the role of memorializing the deceased. We do this as a reminder to present and future generations of the life and accomplishments of an individual, society, or nation.
“A monument, great or small, frail or enduring, is nothing more than the thoughtful act of one man or group, to perpetuate the memory of loved ones who preceded them. Thus, a monument is nothing more than a lasting way to say I care”.
– Monument Builders of North America
The monument has great psychological benefit also. A monument gives someone a place to come, visit, grieve, and remember the dead. Without a place to go, a loved one often struggles to grieve properly. Unhealthy mourning can result in get strain on the human body, much less emotional and psychological health.
The desire to be remember is a natural human response. To allow the lessons and experiences of your own life to mean something to future generations is an innate desire. Building monuments creates an everlasting object symbolizing the life and accomplishments of an individual, bringing meaning and understanding to future generations of those who have come before. Take some time to walk through your local cemetery, take in the history and remember those who have come before us have made today what it is.

भारतीयों को गालियां देने पर पाकिस्तानी अभिनेता को एक ब्रिटिश टीवी चैनल ने अपने शो से बाहर निकाल दिया है। ब्रिटेन के चैनल आईटीवी पर प्रसारित होने वाले टीवी शो कोरोनेशन स्ट्रीट में अभिनय करने वाले पाक मूल के अभिनेता मार्क अनवर ने ट्वीटर पर भारतीयों के लिए अपमानजनक टिप्पणियां की थीं।
इस घटना के बाद उन्हें टीवी चैनल ने निकाल बाहर किया है। 45 साल के मार्क अनवर लंबे समय से इस टीवी शो के साथ जुड़े हुए थे। वह इस टीवी सीरीज में शरीफ नजीर की भूमिका निभा रहे थे।
लंदन से प्रकाशित अखबार डेली मेल ने इस बारे में ट्वीट कर जानकारी दी है।
— Daily Mail U.K. (@DailyMailUK) September 25, 2016
मार्क अनवर मशहूर फिल्म कैप्टन फिलिप्स और द 51एसटी स्टेट में भी काम कर चुके हैं।
गौरतलब है कि जम्मू-कश्मीर के उरी सेक्टर में 18 सितंबर को हुए भारतीय सेना के कैम्प पर हुए आतंकवादी हमले के बाद भारतीयों में रोष है। कल ही राज ठाकरे के नेतृत्व वाली पार्टी मनसे ने पाकिस्तानी अभिनेताओं को भारत छोड़ने की चेतावनी दी है।
वहीं, पाकिस्तान के नेता भी भारत के खिलाफ अलग-अलग फोरम पर बयानबाजी करते फिर रहे हैं।

Outside the rain is pouring. It’s early in the morning. Cars are driving past my window, people commuting for work, going about their lives. I’ve sat here for so many times that I’ve lost count. My favorite spot in the house. It’s so quiet here. In my own company. I love it.
These are the moments I live for – I need them to function. Me, myself and I. The feeling of being alone with myself, with a cup of hot coffee in one hand and a good book in the other. Sure, I live with my family, but I still do feel alone. The difference now is that I don’t have that inner cry telling me to flight before I get mad, because surely something must be wrong with me for wanting to be alone. No, I’m content sitting here alone. Nothing is wrong with me. I want to be alone, I need to be alone. It’s so important.

Holding the Line on Office Expenses
- Jan 17, 2014
Owners and managers of private-sector office buildings significantly trimmed costs related to utilities, security and roads and grounds from 2012 to 2013. According to the Building Owners and Managers Association International and Kingsley Associates, security expenses declined 14.5 percent and utility costs fell 12.4 percent.
Roads and grounds expenses make up only about 2 percent of office operating budgets on average, but those costs dropped 14 percent year over year. As the chart below shows, other expense categories held steady or posted a slight decline.
For more about smart budgeting strategies, be sure to read “Hold the Line” in the February issue of CPE.

# Bounce Diagrams
Bounce Diagrams.
The bounce diagram can be a useful tool for the analysis of unitstep and pulse voltage responses of TLs. In the bounce diagram, distance is shown along the horizontal axis and time along the vertical axis. A series of lines is drawn diagonally on this diagram indicating the leading or trailing edges of a voltage (or current) waveform, which are labeled by the amplitude of the voltage (or current) for that time and position on the TL. It is helpful to present the bounce diagram with an example. Consider the TL shown below with a unit-step excitation.
The sloping lines indicate voltage waves traveling in the +z and -z directions. Each sloping line in this case is labeled with the voltage amplitude of the partial voltage wave traveling in that direction. We could also construct a bounce diagram for the amplitudes of a current wave.
These voltage amplitudes are obtained by multiplying the “incident” voltage by the reflection coefficient at the particular discontinuity (either tL or ts ) as shown.
The bounce diagram can be used in two ways: To determine the voltage variation
1. along the TL at a specific time,
2. at a specific z as a function of time.
These two cases will be considered separately below.
Use Bounce Diagram for V(z,t) vs. z at a Fixed t
For this illustration, we’ll assume a fixed time t0 is as shown in the bounce diagram above between 2tL and 3tL . To use the bounce diagram in this capacity:
(i.) Mark t0 on the vertical t axis.
(ii.) Draw a horizontal line at t0 .
(iii.) Draw a vertical line at the intersection. Only times before t0 are relevant, which is the portion of the graph “above” t0 .
(iv.) The voltage on the TL to the left of z0 is the sum of all voltages intersecting an imaginary vertical line at z0- as
(v.) The voltage on the TL to the right of z0 is the sum of all voltages intersecting an imaginary vertical line at z0++ as:
Example N14.1: Repeat Example N13.1 using a bounce diagram. Sketch the voltage on the TL at the time t0 = 4.5 ms.
For this TL,
We can use the bounce diagram on page 2 for this example because the t0 in the bounce diagram is located at 4.5 ms as needed here for this example.
Consequently, from (1):
while from (2):
Sketch:
This is the same voltage as shown in
Use Bounce Diagram for V(z,t) vs. t at a Fixed z
To use the bounce diagram in this situation:
(i.) Pick a position z0 at which to plot V (( z0,t )) versus time.
(ii.) Draw a vertical line at z0. It intersects the sloping lines at points P1 through P6 above.
(iii.) At each of these intersection points, draw horizontal lines and label these times t1 through t6. These are the times at which new wave fronts arrive and abruptly change the voltage at z0.
(iv.) The voltage at z0 versus time is then:
Example N14.2: Consider the coaxial cable shown below. Sketch the voltage at the load V( (L,t) ) for the indicated unit-step input voltage and an open circuit load.
For this TL circuit:
At time t = 0+, draw the equivalent lumped-element circuit at the input to the TL:
By voltage division in this circuit
Draw a vertical line at z0 = L in the bounce diagram. Then:

More and more people in the world nowadays become more conscious about their health. That`s why the notion ‘fitness trainer’ has come into the frequent use. Fitness trainer can be individual trainer who provides private classes with clients at home or it could also be the person who works at the gym or at some health centre.

I can’t help myself.
I’m sorry, but I just find it hard to continue.
It’s hard to continue to do anything.
I just feel like I care less and less everyday.
Like I wouldn’t care so much about what happens to me.
It hurts me so much when I think about what’s happening.
But it just happens to me when I don’t think about it.
I hate how it feels like I don’t have control.
Why can’t I help myself?
I’m trying my best to get through life.
But it seems to never be good enough.
Not to me.
And not to anyone else.
I’m trying so hard not to give up completely.
But it’s so hard to find a reason not to.
I feel like everyone is giving up on me.
I’m sorry to be such a difficult, pain in the ass.
I’m trying to change, but I don’t think it’s working.
Because I feel like I should be more open.
But it’s making everyone start to not want to be around me.
Or just get annoyed/pissed off at me.
I’m sorry that I’m not trying hard enough.
But I sincerely am trying very hard.
But it’s hard to fight back the feelings.
Feelings like anger, frustration, sadness, and a million others.
It’s really hard to not let them get in the way of our friendship.
But lately, that’s all it seems to do.
I’m sorry, but I’m trying.
But I’m losing my will to try.
I’m sorry that I’m not strong enough to continue without falling.
I think I have a problem.
I could have been told a million times to do something.
But I end up not doing them.
I think it’s mostly because…
I would just start to think and I’d get lost in my thoughts.
I know I have to do my homework and work on learning this and that.
But lately I’ve been just sitting and doing nothing.
Nothing but think and think.
I would end up just thinking about something for the longest.
Sometimes I don’t even feel like I’m thinking.
That I’m just sitting there with a blank mind.
Ignoring everything around me.
Ignoring the sounds.
And it seems like I tune people out more than usual.
Mostly when I start to think.
I don’t know why I would end up getting lost deep in thought.
Or no thought at all.
Just lost in something.
Maybe I just get lost in darkness which inhabits my mind.
Or maybe I just get lost in my own little world.
That I try to think of to get out of reality.
Either way, I still think this is a problem.
I think this is my problem.
Because I would do this.
And hours would go by and it wouldn’t feel like that long of time.
And I don’t do this on purpose either.
I’m really not sure.
But I do think I have a terrible problem.

अक्षय कुमार की फिल्म पैडमैन अपने कंटेंट को लेकर काफी सुर्खियां बटोर रही है। हाल ही में फिल्म के प्रमोशन के दौरान निर्देशक आर बाल्की ने कहा कि फिल्म के लिए अक्षय कुमार से बेहतर कोई हो ही नहीं सकता था।
आर बाल्की ने कहा, फिल्म शुरु करने से पहले अक्षय ने मुझसे पूछा था कि क्या मैं फिल्म के लिए सही च्वॉइस हूं.. और मेरे मन में सबसे पहली बात ये आई थी कि- यदि फिल्म में अक्षय कुमार नहीं होंगे.. तो कोई ये फिल्म क्यों देखेगा।
बता दें, यह फिल्म महिलाओं की माहवारी और उनके स्वास्थ्य की दिशा में बताती है। गौरतलब है कि शायद अक्षय दुनिया के पहले सुपरस्टार हैं, जिन्होंने इस मुद्दे को पर्दे पर लाने की कोशिश की है। फिल्म हिट हो ना हो.. फिल्म के टीम के प्रति सम्मान तो जरूर है।
फैमिली फिल्म
आर बाल्की ने कहा कि हमने फिल्म बनाने के दौरान पूरा ध्यान रखा है कि यह एक फैमिली फिल्म है। अब अक्षय कुमार की फिल्म है.. तो फैमिली फिल्म ही होगी। फिल्म की स्क्रिप्ट ऐसी लिखी गई है.. जिसे 12 साल का बच्चा भी समझ सके।
दमदार होगी फिल्म
कहीं ना कहीं 3 मिनट के ट्रेलर से ही साफ है कि फिल्म में माहवारी जैसे संवेदनशील मुद्दे को काफी दमदार तरीके से पेश किया गया है।
बोल्ड कदम
शायद यह पहली बार है जब किसी सुपरस्टार ने माहवारी जैसे मुद्दे पर बात की है। वह भी हाथों में पैड्स के साथ। यह अक्षय कुमार का एक बोल्ड कदम है।
इन पर आधारित
'पैडमैन' फिल्म 'द सैनेटरी मैन फ्रॉम द सीक्रेट लैंड' कहानी पर आधारित है। यह अरुणाचलम मुरुगनाथम की वास्तविक जीवन की सफलता की कहानी है, जिन्होंने भारत की सबसे सस्ती सैनिटरी नैपकिन मशीन की शुरुआत की।
देश में बदलाव
आज भी गावों में कई औरतों को पैड के बारे में जानकारी नहीं है., जिस वजह से वह कपड़े या किसी और रद्दी का इस्तेमाल करती हैं। इसका स्वास्थ्य पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। कई बार इसका नतीजा मौत भी होता है। उम्मीद है फिल्म के बाद देश में बदलाव दिखेगा।
उम्दा स्टारकास्ट
फिल्म में अक्षय कुमार, सोनम कपूर, राधिका आप्टे मुख्य किरदारों में हैं। जबकि अमिताभ बच्चन कैमियो निभाते नजर आएंगे।

Voldemort: "Ah ha ha ha! Bravery! Your parents had it too. Tell me Harry, would you like to see your mother and father again? Together, we can bring them back. All I ask is for something in return. That’s it Harry. There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it. Together we'll do extraordinary things. Just give me the Stone!"
Harry Potter: "You liar!"
Voldemort: "Kill him!"
— Lord Voldemort fails at tempting Harry[src]
The attack in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers was a battle that took place on 4 June 1992, during Lord Voldemort's attempt to use Quirinus Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone. It was also Voldemort's second attempt on Harry Potter's life.
During Harry, Ron, and Hermione's time in the chambers they battled through a set of obstacles that most eleven-year-old children would find near impossible, but succeeded anyway. In the last chamber, Harry defeated Voldemort and kept the stone safe.
The battle in the chambers was a defining moment in the Trio's years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as they realised that their lives were never going to be normal and that Lord Voldemort would always make sure no school year would ever be ordinary.
Battle through the chambers
Fluffy (Rubeus Hagrid's Chamber)
Fluffy PM B1C9M3 ForbiddenCorridorFluffy Moment
Fluffy in the third floor chamber
Fluffy was a giant three-headed dog, and Rubeus Hagrid's contribution to the protections put in place for the Philosopher's Stone. In 1992, Quirinus Quirrell enchanted a Harp to put Fluffy to sleep while he searched for the Stone; when the music stopped, Fluffy awoke. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger had to play a flute to put it back to sleep, before they were able to slip through the trap door Fluffy was guarding. Quirrell found out how to get past Fluffy earlier that year by enticing Hagrid into a card game, offering a dragon egg as the stake, and getting him drunk enough to disclose the secret of how to pacify the otherwise vicious dog. After the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, Hagrid released Fluffy into the Forbidden Forest.[1]
Devil's Snare (Pomona Sprout's chamber)
Hermione Granger: "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare...what did Professor Sprout say? — it likes the dark and damp —"
Harry Potter: "So light a fire!"
— The trio struggle with Devil's Snare[src]

The second obstacle within the Chambers was Pomona Sprout's Devil's Snare, placed seemingly to soften a deadfall through the trapdoor guarded by Fluffy. However, as the Devil's Snare is known for strangling its victims to death, and increasing its force of constriction at signs of struggle, Hermione Granger just barely managed to save Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and herself from death by strangulation, by attacking the plant with Bluebell Flames.
Winged keys (Filius Flitwick's chamber)
Hermione Granger: "These birds... they can't be here just for decoration."
Harry Potter: "They're not birds! They're keys! Winged keys."
— Hermione Granger and Harry Potter when they entered the chamber of winged keys[src]
The third of the Chambers contained several brooms and was filled with Winged Keys, provided by Professor Filius Flitwick, which, at a distance, appeared to be birds. There was a locked door at the end of the room which was impervious to the Alohomora spell, and could only be opened by identifying and catching the one key among the "flock" that would fit the door's lock.
Harry-Potter and the winged-keys PS
Harry retrieves the right key
Hermione Granger cleverly deduced that the key that would open the locked door must be an old one, to match the old lock on the door. The only old key was readily identifiable, as Quirinus Quirrell had just used it and bent one of its wings. As soon as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione took off on brooms to catch the winged key, they rest of the keys scattered to make the correct one more difficult to identify again. Harry was, however, able to retrieve the necessary key, which was described as old-fashioned and silver, with bright blue wings, by employing his skills as a Seeker.
Human Chess Game (Minerva McGonagall's chamber)
Hermione Granger: "What is it?"
Harry Potter: "He's [Ron] going to sacrifice himself!"
Ron Weasley's sacrifice[src]

The fourth obstacle was Minerva McGonagall's — a giant Wizard's Chess set. Ron took command of the game, with Harry, Hermione, and himself replacing certain pieces (a Black bishop, rook and knight respectively), to defeat the opposing team and be allowed to pass. In the end, Ron sacrificed himself to allow Harry to capture the opposing King. At the End-of-Term Feast, following the events of the attack, Albus Dumbledore awarded Ron fifty House points for winning "the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years".
Mountain troll (Quirinus Quirrell's chamber)
"I do say I have a gift with trolls."
—Quirrell discussing his chamber[src]
When Harry and Hermione arrived at the obstacle set in place by Quirinus Quirrell — a troll — they realised it was already out cold. It was later discovered that Trolls were Quirrell's specialty, which he had also used to create a diversion during the 1991 Hallowe'en feast, in his first attempt at retrieving the Philosopher's Stone.[2]
Potion riddle (Severus Snape's chamber)
Hermione Granger: "This isn't magic — it's logic — a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven't got an ounce of logic, they'd be stuck in here forever."
Harry Potter: "But so will we, won't we?"
Hermione Granger: "Of course not, everything we need is here on this paper. Seven bottles: three are poison; two are wine; one will get us safely through the black fire and one will get us back through the purple"
— Hermione and Harry discussing the Logic Chamber[src]
Potions Riddle
Harry and the Potion Riddle
Harry and Hermione next arrived at a Severus Snape's potions riddle. The obstacle wasn't magic but logic, a challenge that most wizards would never figure out, as they did not put much stock in logic. Hermione had no trouble deferring the riddle and figured out which potion would help them, but there was only a little bit left. So Harry drank it and Hermione drank another one, which allowed her to leave the chamber safely. She wished Harry good luck and told him he would be alright. Harry went on to the final chamber alone.
The Riddle as follows:
"Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,
Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,
One among us seven will let you move ahead,
Another will transport the drinker back instead,
Two among our number hold only nettle wine,
Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line.
Choose, unless you wish to stay here for evermore,
First, however slyly the poison tries to hide
You will always find some on nettle wine's left side;
Second, different are those who stand at either end,
But if you would move onwards neither is your friend;
Third, as you see clearly, all are different size,
Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their insides;
Fourth, the second left and the second on the right
Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight."
The attack (Albus Dumbledore's chamber)
—Quirrell reveals were his loyalty lies[src]
Harry confronting Voldemort/Quirell
Harry, then arrived at the obstacle of Albus Dumbledore — the Mirror of Erised. Standing there was Quirinus Quirrell. Harry was shocked — he had expected Snape. Quirrell explained that he tried to kill Harry, while Snape tried to save him. He said that he let the troll in on Hallowe'en. He then tied up Harry and tried to figure out how to get the Stone. Voldemort told him to "Use the boy" Quirrell summoned Harry to tell him what he saw in the Mirror. Harry lied and said it was himself winning the House Cup. An accomplished Legilimens, Voldemort wasn't fooled and told Quirrell to allow him to speak to Harry. Quirrell unravelled his turban to reveal the red-eyed and snake-like face of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

Harry battles Voldemort for the Philosopher's Stone
After Harry's refusal to join the Dark Lord, Voldemort ordered Quirrell to kill him, but because of Lily Evans' loving sacrifice ten years earlier, Quirrell couldn't touch him without experiencing debilitating levels of pain, and having his flesh burn. Around that moment, Harry fell unconscious due to his injuries and the pain in his scar. Voldemort left Quirrell's body and fled, abandoning his servant to die. After Voldemort fled, Albus Dumbledore descended into the chambers. After reaching the Philosopher Stone's chamber he found Harry unconscious and rushed to his aid. If Dumbledore had arrived any later Harry would have died.
End of first year
Albus Dumbledore: "Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell could not bear to have you touch him?...It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act lives a mark. No, no this kind of act cannot be seen, it lives in your very skin."
Harry Potter: "What is it?"
Albus Dumbledore: "Love, Harry. Love."
Dumbledore and Harry dicussing the power of love[src]
Harry in the Hospital Wing after the attack
Three days later, Harry woke up in the hospital wing to find Dumbledore standing before him. Dumbledore explained that the Stone had been destroyed and Nicolas Flamel would die. He, then, explained the reason Voldemort, and by extension Quirrell, couldn't touch him.
1995-1996 school year
"Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher, there was just the minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out of the back of his head."
Harry Potter telling Dolores Umbridge about the attack in the underground chambers[src]
Dumbledore's Army brings up this battle
Three years later, while explaining all he'd done to Ron and Hermione, Harry mentioned the Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers. He was later given detention by Dolores Umbridge for saying that Quirrell had been possessed by Voldemort. Then, at the Hog's Head, Neville Longbottom told everyone that Harry saved the Philosopher's Stone. Then, while trying to come to the Department of Mysteries, Ginny Weasley brought up the fact that she was three years older than they were when they first fought Voldemort.
1996-1997 school year
"Quirrell was mediocre [...] "
Severus Snape's opinion of Quirrell[src]
Bellatrix Lestrange and Severus Snape
Bellatrix questions Snape in 1996
Four years after this battle, at Spinner's End, Bellatrix Lestrange maliciously reminded him that Snape himself had interfered in the events leading up to the Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers. Snape replied that Quirrell was "mediocre", and that he had stopped him simply because he was "unworthy".[3]

So I've been trying to implement the TextWatcher for Android and ran into a few problems with the TextChangedListener being called multiple times or going into an infinite loop as I want to convert the text in the EditText widget into a currency formatted string.
What I did to work around this was create my own custom TextWatcher and then in the afterTextChanged event did something like the following
public class CurrencyTextWatcher implements TextWatcher {
private EditText et;
public CurrencyTextWatcher(EditText editText) {
et = editText;
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
So my question is, is there a better way of doing this? I want to have the one EditText Widget to hold where the edits go and the resulting formatted string.
Also is there actually any other issues that comes about removing and then adding a TextChangedListener like this?
Thanks in advance
share|improve this question
up vote 3 down vote accepted
Everytime you will update (by eg calling set text) your editText the afterTextChanged will be called, so I think you should refrain from calling setText every time you are in afterTextChanged and only call it when something is really changing.
sth like this
if ( !myCurrencyString.equals(et.getText()))

Ah, perfect.. can't believe I didn't think of this. Thank you – Jason Jul 18 '11 at 23:48

Tonight Teena was out with friends and I had a dilemma. Should I go home, make some pasta and then head out for Aquafit or hit a pub for a couple of beers and some wings.
As you can see from the top picture, the devil on my shoulder won out. I was simply too lazy to cook myself supper. I did walk to the pub and then home which is a 3KM walk (almost 2 miles) so did get some exercise.
I stopped at the Wheat Sheaf Tavern which has the proud distinction of being Toronto's oldest licensed establishment having opened in 1849.
Their selection of beer is not too bad. They have a few of local craft beers, Amsterdam Blonde, Steam Whistle and Mill Street Tankhouse, plus a dozen other beers on tap.
The bar where I enjoy sitting was almost full but I found myself a spot. The rest of the bar was quickly filling up during my stay, either because of the holiday season or Tuesdays being half price wing night. The bartender was friendly and looked after me well. They seemed to have lots of staff to look after the tables.
I ordered the plain seasoned wings with smoked BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. The sauce was interesting. It seemed to be a combination of BBQ sauce and liquid smoke. I have experimented with liquid smoke in the past. Some experiment with acid, some with cocaine, me with liquid smoke. It was quite good and I found myself dipping often.
The wings were a good size. I have learned from the Lord of the Wings on how to properly take a picture of a wing.
The part I enjoyed most was finding out that a pound of wings and two 20 oz glasses of Tankhouse came to just $18.50.
The pool can wait for another night. I enjoyed my stop tonight.

Females who are fit and healthy tend to burn more fat when they exercise than men, according to new research from a team of sports nutritionists.
The research, comprising two new studies from academics led by the University of Bath’s Centre for Nutrition, Exercise & Metabolism, analysed the factors that most influenced individuals’ capacity to burn body fat when undertaking endurance sports.
How the body burns fat is important to all of us for good metabolic health, insulin sensitivity and in reducing the risk of developing Type II diabetes. But, for endurance sport competitions, such as running or cycling, how the body burns fat can make the difference between success and failure.
Previous research from the same team has shown how, for endurance athletes competing in distance events, the body’s carbohydrate stores deplenish quickly when exercising. This means that that an athletes’ ability to tap into their fat reserves to fuel them on becomes essential to their performance.
The first study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Medicine, involved 73 healthy adults aged 19-63 (41 men; 32 women). It tested the lifestyle and biological factors for optimal fat burning by asking participants to take part in a cycling fitness test and measuring key indicators.
Their results found that females and those who were physically fitter, right across the age ranges, burnt fat more efficiently when exercising.
The second related paper, published in the journal Experimental Physiology, took this a stage further to explore what molecular factors in our muscles and fat tissue determine how fat is burnt. This experiment involved the researchers taking fat and muscle biopsies from participants to analyse how differences in the proteins in fat and muscle tissue might affect their ability to burn fat.
It found that the proteins in muscle that are involved in breaking down stored fat into the smaller fatty acids, and proteins involved in transporting those fatty acids into the mitochondria in muscle (the powerhouse of the cells) consistently correlated with a greater ability to burn fat. The molecular factors explored did not explain why females burned more fat than males, however.
Lead author on both papers, Ollie Chrzanowski-Smith from the University of Bath explains: “Our study found that females typically have a greater reliance upon fat as a fuel source during exercise than males. Understanding the mechanisms behind these sex differences in fuel use may help explain why being female seems to confer a metabolic advantage for insulin sensitivity, an important marker of metabolic health.”
The researchers note that the ability to burn fat as a fuel appears to protect against future weight gain, ensuring good weight management. However, they caution that the body’s ability to burn fat should not be equated with an ability to lose weight. Losing weight is primarily produced by an energy deficit (ie. consuming fewer calories than we expend). For weight loss, in particular where individuals might be overweight, they stress the importance of diet and exercise.
Dr Javier Gonzalez, also from the University of Bath’s Department for Health, added: “Weight management is mainly about energy balance, so to lose weight we need to eat fewer calories than we expend through our resting metabolism and physical activity. However, people with a higher ability to burn fat as a fuel seem to be somewhat protected against future weight gain, which might be related to how fat burning affects food intake and energy expenditure.
“Ultimately, a greater capacity to burn fat as a fuel has potential benefits for endurance athletes, by delaying the timepoint when they run out of precious carbohydrate stores.”

On a sheet of wax paper
or paper plate combine flour, Parmesan cheese and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Dredge
chicken in flour mixture, coating both sides and reserving any remaining flour mixture.
In 10 inch skillet heat 1½ teaspoons oil over medium high heat; add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent. Add mushrooms, basil, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a plate and set aside.
In same skillet heat remaining 1½ teaspoons oil; add chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Stir in any reserved flour mixture; gradually add wine and water and continue to stir, bring mixture to a boil. Return mushroom mixture to pan and cook until heated through. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
You may notice that this is a very specific recipe to help people on strict diets who may have to watch what they eat for health reasons. This is a great meal because it's quick and easy to prepare, as well as, low fat recipe it is a favorite at our house and brimming with flavor. It has 260 calories per serving with 29 g protein; 9 grams of fat; 12 g carbohydrate; 82 mg calcium; 390 mg sodium; and 68 mg cholesterol. It's delicious served with a half cup of cooked spaghetti tossed with a teaspoon of olive oil with a stir fry medley of slice zucchini and red bell peppers a small baked apple serve with Espresso to round out a well balanced meal.
Another hint! Mmmmmmm sounds delicious:)
says: Try subbing a teaspoon each of Sherry
for some of the white wine next time you make this... Yummy! (Add it to the mushrooms about a minute into the cooking for best effect, or with the rest of the wine later if you must)

This is a story out of Jacksonville, Florida where the local police department received a grant from the Violence Against Women Act. They will use the money to hire an experienced investigator to work domestic violence and sexual assault cases. They will be partnering with NCIS in Jacksonville because of the strong military presence in that city-especially younger military members.
You can read the whole story HERE.
In the last eight years that we have been covering domestic violence and related issues, we have noted that one of the big problems is that law enforcement agencies shuffle these cases to the bottom of the pile. It just doesn’t get that much attention. So it’s nice to see you finally that it is getting some attention.
One of the best ways. Of course for women to defend themselves is with a nonlethal product they can disable an assailant long enough for you to get help.
This Powerful Small Fry stun gun can flatten anybody because it is almost 8,000,000 volts and is one of this smallest stun guns available-perfect for the small hands of a woman.
Since 2005 Guardian Self-Defense & Security Products LLC has provided quality stun Self Defense Products to over 45,000 consumers. We offer a full-line of premium self-defense weapons such as pepper spray, stun guns, tasers, pepper mace, personal alarms and other self-defense items.

Raspberry pi automatic toy car, waypoint navigation
Q&A forumRaspberry pi automatic toy car, waypoint navigation
Gabriel asked 4 weeks ago
we’re trying to use the rtk in an automatic toy car using a raspberry pi and python. I’m able to connect the rtk to the raspberry pi and receive a location but how can I extract the information to use in the python code like in a while loop for example. We basically want the car to know it’s current location and automatically drive towards a gps waypoint.
clive1 replied 4 weeks ago
Ok, and what’s stopping you from reading the TTY and parsing the data in a loop?
You’d probably want to start by reading your waypoint file into an array of lat/lon values.
Perhaps consider using the QGroundControl format exported by Mission Planner, et al
Look at the direction you’re pointing/moving, and figure your bearing and distance to the waypoint
