The role of calcium ions in gravity signal perception and transduction.
Ca2+ is implicated as a messenger in coupling various environmental stimuli, such as gravity and light, to response. In recent years, it has become evident that Ca2+ plays a central role in all three phases of gravitropism--perception, transduction and response. The root cap, which is known to contain high amounts of Ca2+ and calmodulin, is the primary site of gravity perception. The possible role of phosphoinositide turnover and Ca(2+) - and Ca(2+) -calmodulin-dependent enzymes such as Ca(2+) -ATPase and protein kinases in gravitropism is discussed. A model is proposed to describe the role of Ca2+ in both normal and light-dependent gravity response in roots. | {

Army of Free Lebanon
The Army of Free Lebanon – AFL (Arabic: جيش لبنان الحر transliteration Jayish Lubnan al-Horr) or 'Colonel Barakat's Army' (Arabic: جيش بركات transliteration Jayish Barakat), also designated Armée du Liban Libre (ALL) and 'Armée du Colonel Barakat' in French, was a predominantly Christian splinter faction of the Lebanese Army that came to play a major role in the 1975-77 phase of the Lebanese Civil War.
Emblem
Upon its formation, the AFL adopted as logo a rectangular (or square) red and blue 'flash' with a stylized white cedar tree in the middle, which was hastily painted on their armoured and transport vehicles. Sometimes the motto 'Free Lebanon' (Arabic: لبنان الحر | Lubnan al-Horr) written in Arabic script was painted alongside the flash on the hull and turret of the tanks.
Origins
The AFL began to be established on January 23, 1976 in Beirut by Lebanese Colonel Antoine Barakat who declared loyalty to the then President of Lebanon Suleiman Frangieh. A Maronite from Frangieh's hometown Zgharta, Barakat rose with the troops of the Beirut Command in response for Lieutenant Ahmed Al-Khatib's rebellion two days earlier at the head of the breakaway Lebanese Arab Army (LAA). Another officer, the head of Jounieh garrison Major Fouad Malek, supported the Barakat-led faction, as did Major Saad Haddad the commander of the Marjayoun garrison in southern Lebanon. These three formations where eventually integrated into the "Army of Free Lebanon", whose creation was formally announced on March 13, 1976 by Col. Barakat at the Shukri Ghanem Barracks in the Fayadieh district of East Beirut.
Structure
Unit organization
Headquartered at Shukri Ghanem Barracks, a major military facility situated at Fayadieh in the vicinity of the Ministry of Defense complex at Yarze, the AFL numbered some 3,000 uniformed regulars by 1978, mostly Christian Maronites and Greek-Catholics. Like the LAA, the AFL also maintained a flexible structure unlike the old regular Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), with the bulk of the force comprising some 2,000 soldiers from different Army units assembled into eight independent mixed combat groups (French: Groupements) of roughly company or battalion size. There was no set hierarchy, and rank and seniority meant little; performance in the field and political motivation propelled young Army officers – mostly Lieutenants – into leadership positions within the AFL combat groups. By February 1978, they were structured as follows:
Group No 11 (French: Groupement numéro 11) – led by Captain Mounir Bejjani;
Group No 12 (French: Groupement numéro 12) – led by Lieutenants Michel Abou Ghanem and Louis Khoury;
Group No 14 (French: Groupement numéro 14) – led by Lt. Makhoul Hakmeh;
Group No 16 (French: Groupement numéro 16) – led by Lieutenants Abdallah Hadchiti and Ghazi Ghattas;
Group No 18 (French: Groupement numéro 18) – led by Maj. Fouad Malek, later replaced by Lt. Wehbeh Katicha;
Galerie Semaan Battalion – a mechanized unit, also led by Lt. Ghazi Ghattas;
A company-sized contingent (subsequently expanded to battalion strength) from the Army Para-commando regiment (Arabic: فوج المغاوير transliteration Fauj al-Maghaweer) led by Captain Samir el-Achkar.
All these units were permantely allocated at Fayadieh, serving under Col. Barakat's direct orders. Outside Beirut, a 200-strong battalion designated the "Akkar Brigade" (Arabic: لواء عكار | Liwa' el-Akkar), led by Lt. Khalil Nader was stationed in the Akkar District of northern Lebanon. A 500-strong battalion under the title "Army of Lebanon" (Arabic: جيش لبنان | Jayish Lubnan) was based at the Raymond el-Hayek Barracks in Sarba, north of Jounieh headed by Maj. Malek, whilst another battalion of 700 men led by Maj. Haddad and designated the "Marjayoun–Qlaiaa Formation" (Arabic: تكوين مرجعيون - قليعة | Takwin Marjayoun – Qlaiaa), was stationed at Marjayoun Barracks.

Weapons and equipment
The AFL was equipped largely from stocks drawn from Lebanese Army reserves, with weapons taken directly from Army barracks and depots or channeled via the Christian rightist militias of the Lebanese Front.
Small-arms
AFL infantry units were issued FN FAL and M16A1 assault rifles; FN MAG and M60 light machine guns were used as squad weapons, with heavier Browning M1919A4 .30 Cal and Browning M2HB .50 Cal machine guns being employed as platoon and company weapons. Officers and NCOs received FN P35 and MAB PA-15 pistols.
Grenade launchers and portable anti-tank weapons consisted of Belgian RL-83 Blindicide, M72 LAW and Soviet RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers, whilst crew-served and indirect fire weapons comprised M2 60mm mortars, M30 4.2 inch (106.7mm) mortars, B-10 82mm and M40A1 106mm recoilless rifles.
Armoured and transport vehicles
Each combat group or fraction fielded conventional armour, infantry and artillery sub-units, provided with Panhard AML-90 and 33 Staghound armoured cars, AMX-13 and M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks, four M42 Duster SPAAGs, and tracked M113 or wheeled Panhard M3 VTT armored personnel carriers.
For logistical support, Col. Barakat's troops relied on US Willys M38A1 MD jeeps, US M151A1 jeeps, US Kaiser M715 jeeps, Jeep Gladiator J20 pickup trucks, Chevrolet C-10 Cheyenne and Chevrolet C-15 Cheyenne light pickup trucks, and British Land-Rover Mk IIA-III light pickups, plus Chevrolet Series 50 light-duty, Dodge F600 medium-duty, Saviem SM8 TRM 4000 4x4, Berliet GBC 8KT 6x6, British Bedford RL lorries, Soviet KrAZ 255 6x6, GMC C7500 heavy-duty trucks and US M35A1 2½-ton 6x6 cargo trucks. These liaison and transport vehicles were also employed as gun-trucks (a.k.a. technicals) in the direct fire support role on AFL ground operations, fitted with heavy machine guns (HMGs), recoilless rifles and anti-aircraft autocannons. Artillery units relied on military trucks and M5A1 artillery tractors to tow its field guns and howitzers.
Artillery
Their artillery formations fielded British QF Mk III 25-Pounder field guns, Soviet 2A18 (D-30) 122mm howitzers and French Mle 1950 BF-50 155mm howitzers. Six British Bofors 40mm L/60 anti-aircraft guns, six Yugoslav Zastava M55 20mm triple-barreled autocannons, Hispano-Suiza HSS-661 30mm single-barreled AA autocannons, and 24 Soviet ZU-23-2 23mm twin-barreled AA autocannons were also employed in the direct fire supporting role.
The AFL in the Lebanese civil war 1976-78
Closely allied with the Christian rightist militias of the Lebanese Front, the AFL battled the leftist Lebanese National Movement (LNM) militias, the LAA and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) guerrilla factions at Beirut, but also fought in northern Lebanon.
On March 5, 1976 some 200 Christian AFL soldiers led by Lt. Khalil Nader – who entitled themselves the "Lebanese Liberation Army" (LLA), and later became the "Akkar Brigade" – from the Jounieh garrison departed without permission from their commanding Officer to their home towns of Al-Qoubaiyat and Andaket in the Akkar District of Northern Lebanon, which were being threatened by LAA attacks and artillery bombardments.
On March 13 at Beirut, the AFL units from the Shukri Ghanem Barracks in Fayadieh under Col. Barakat clashed with the Officer cadets of the adjoining Military Academy, whose Commander supported Brigadier-General Aziz El-Ahdab's failed coup attempt against President Frangieh, despite the fact that some officers from the AFL (Fouad Malek, Wehbeh Katicha, Ghazi Ghattas) had signed a petition pledging their support to Gen. Ahdab's initiative. Later on March 25, Col. Barakat's troops bolstered the hard-pressed Republican Guard battalion and Marada Brigade militiamen loyal to President Frangieh in defending the Presidential Palace at Baabda from a two-pronged combined LNM-Lebanese Arab Army (LAA) ground assault amid intense shelling, though prior to the attack the President had decamped to the safety of Zouk Mikael, near Jounieh, and later to Kfour in the Keserwan District. They also provided armour and artillery support to the Christian militias on the closing stages of the Battle of the Hotels, during which an artillery barrage fired by a unit under Barakat's command struck the campus of the American University of Beirut at Rue Bliss in the neighboring Ras Beirut district, causing a number of casualties among the students.
On late March–early April 1976 the AFL, aided by the Internal Security Forces (ISF), fought off successfully an attempt by the LAA and the Druze People's Liberation Army (PLA) militia to raid their own Headquarters at the Shukri Ghanem Barracks complex in the Fayadieh district of East Beirut. Under the command of Maj. Fouad Malek, AFL units resumed the same roles later in the sieges of the PLO-held Palestinian refugee camps of Jisr el-Basha and Tel al-Zaatar at East Beirut between June and August 1976.
During the Hundred Days' War in early February 1978, the AFL found itself besieged and bombarded by the Syrian Army in their Fayadieh barracks, though they later helped the NLP Tigers and the newly constituted Lebanese Forces' Command in driving the Syrians out from East Beirut.
Disbandment
On March 1977, the newly elected President of Lebanon Elias Sarkis began slowly to reorganize the battered Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) structure, which had split into four sectarian factions. The first fraction of the AFL to be re-integrated into the official battle order of the re-organized Lebanese Army in June 1977 was the Jounieh garrison, whose commander Fouad Malek was promoted to Colonel and sent to the École de Guerre in Paris, where he deserted in 1978 to become the head of the Lebanese Forces (LF) official representation at the French Capital. In March 1978 at Beirut, Col. Barakat handed over the Fayadieh barracks back to the official authorities, thus effectively signalling the disbandment of the AFL and the return of his troops to the LAF structure. Promoted to Brigadier-General, Antoine Barakat was then appointed as Military Attaché to the Embassy of Lebanon in Washington, D.C., where he retired. Nearly all the remaining AFL combat group commanders' were rapidly re-integrated into the LAF, which enabled them to pursue their military careers unhindered – Lt. Makhoul Hakmeh eventually rose to the rank of Colonel and went to serve with General Michel Aoun as commander of the 10th Airmobile Brigade during the Elimination War in 1988-1990.
One notable exception was Captain Samir el-Achkar and his commando battalion (Arabic: Maghaweer), who contested the re-integration process. Accused on 23 February 1978 by Colonel Sami El-Khatib, the commander of the Arab Deterrent Force (ADF), of being the instigator of the incident that sparked the Hundred Days' War, Capt. el-Achkar refused to be put on trial by a military court on charges of desertion and treason, rebelling a few days later with his troops by establishing the Lebanese Army Revolutionary Command (LARC), another dissident faction of the Lebanese Army closely aligned with the Kataeb Regulatory Forces (KRF) militia led by Bashir Gemayel. The crisis came to an abrupt end on 1 November that year, when the LAF Command ordered a raid by a 300-strong commando detachment from the Counter-sabotage regiment (Arabic: Moukafaha) on the LARC headquarters at Mtaileb in the Matn District, which resulted in the wounding and subsequent death of Capt. Samir el-Achkar, followed by the full re-incorporation of his men into the official Para-commando Regiment's own structure.
A different fate however, awaited the ex-AFL troops of the Marjayoun garrison in the south. By late 1976, pressure from PLO and LNM-LAA militias finally forced Major Saad Haddad to evacuate the town and withdraw unopposed with his battalion to the village of Qlaiaa, close to the border with Israel. Here Maj. Haddad and his men placed themselves under the protection of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), eventually providing the cadre – after merging with local Christian, Shia Muslim and Druze militias, gathered since October 21 into the informal "Army for the Defense of South Lebanon" or ADSL (French: Armée de Défense du Liban-Sud or ADLS) – of the so-called "Free Lebanese Army" (FLA), later to become known as the South Lebanon Army (SLA).

Jill Schoolman
The Risk-Taker
Archipelago Books had been quietly amassing a reputation as an excellent publisher of literature in translation since Jill Schoolman founded the small press in 2003, working with authors as varied as Breyten Breytenbach, Julio Cortázar and Rainer Maria Rilke. But from the moment Ms. Schoolman published the first English translation of Karl Ove Knausgård, the Norwegian author’s six-volume memoir-esque novel, My Struggle (Archipelago is up to volume three) has become something like the In Search of Lost Time for a generation of oversharers. Likewise, Ms. Schoolman has taken her place alongside Barney Rosset and James Laughlin as a publisher who has found success by taking risks. | {

LSWR H16 class
The LSWR H16 class were five 4-6-2 tank locomotives designed by Robert Urie for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in 1921–1922. They were the last new design for the LSWR and their only Pacific-type design.
Background
As part of the project to construct a marshalling yard at Feltham in West London, Urie produced two locomotive designs, the G16 "Black Tanks" to shunt the new yard, and the H16 "Green Tanks" to work transfer freights to the London area yards of the other railway companies.
Construction history
Livery and numbering
LSWR and Southern Railway
When originally built they were numbered 516–520. On passing to the Southern Railway, they had their LSWR numbers prefixed with an ‘E’. The locomotives lost the prefix between 1931–32. The Southern Railway painted the H16 class in passenger green paint, rather than goods engine black.
Post-1948 (nationalisation)
All five engines were passed to British Railway who renumbered them 30516–30520. All were withdrawn in 1962, and scrapped.

Un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista “Palaeontology” apre una controversia sulla classificazione del Tullimonstrum gregarium, uno strano animale marino vissuto circa 300 milioni di anni fa conosciuto comunemente come mostro di Tully (foto ©Ghedoghedo). Nel corso del 2016 due ricerche avevano portato argomentazioni a sostegno della tesi che quest’animale fosse un vertebrato ma adesso un gruppo di paleobiologi guidati da Lauren Sallan dell’Università della Pennsylvania porta argomentazioni contrarie.
Secondo il team di Lauren Sallan tenere in considerazione tutte le prove riguardanti il mostro di Tully porta a una conclusione contraria alla tesi che si tratti di un vertebrato. Essi ritengono che l’insieme di prove che includono l’anatomia, la preservazione e il confronto con altre specie porti a conclusioni ben diverse mettendo ancora una volta in dubbio la classificazione di questo strano animale nell’albero della vita.
Un’obiezione riguarda le conclusioni delle analisi dell’interno dei corpi di vari mostri di Tully fossili in cui i ricercatori hanno identificato branchie e una rudimentale corda spinale, descritte nell’articolo pubblicato nel marzo 2016. Si tratta di alcuni degli elementi anatomici che li hanno convinti che esso fosse un vertebrato imparentato con le moderne lamprede. Secondo il team di Lauren Sallan tali conclusioni sono basate su ben pochi tessuti preservati e che lamprede sono state trovate nell’area in cui visse il mostro di Tully ma non gli assomigliano.
Anche l’esame degli occhi del mostro di Tully, descritto nell’articolo pubblicato nell’aprile 2016, viene contestato. I ricercatori avevano scoperto due forme di melanosomi e avevano fatto notare che solo i vertebrati li hanno in due forme diverse. Secondo il team di Lauren Sallan ciò non costituisce una prova perché gli occhi si sono evoluti molte volte, anche in strutture complesse come in artropodi e cefalopodi come i polpi, perciò non si può escludere che gli occhi del Tullimonstrum gregarium avessero similitudini con quelli dei vertebrati.
I ricercatori offrono perfino un’argomentazione opposta sostenendo che il mostro di Tully avesse occhi con una struttura più semplice di quella di tutti i vertebrati conosciuti. I molluschi e gli anellidi sono tra gli animali che hanno strutture simili a quelle del Tullimonstrum gregarium, come anche alcuni cordati primitivi. In sostanza, forse quest’animale era imparentato con i vertebrati ma non faceva parte di quel gruppo.
Nel complesso, secondo il team di Lauren Sallan nessuno degli oltre 1.000 esemplari di mostro di Tully esaminati mostra strutture che possano essere ritenute universali nei vertebrati acquatici. Se almeno in una parte di quegli esemplari tali strutture fossero state conservate la conclusioni delle precedenti ricerche sarebbe stata accettata ma quest’animale non sembra possedere nulla di ciò.
Le varie conclusioni riguardanti il Tullimonstrum gregarium derivano da complessi esami effettuati sui fossili e varie analisi dei dati raccolti. Ciò mostra ancora una volta le difficoltà che i paleontologi possono avere nel classificare creature vissute centinaia di milioni di anni fa che hanno somiglianze solo vaghe con quelle attuali.
Onestamente dopo due ricerche diverse che sostenevano che il Tullimonstrum gregarium era un vertebrato basandosi su motivazioni diverse pensavo che la questione fosse chiusa. Le contestazioni mosse dal team di Lauren Sallan potrebbero far ripartire gli studi, anche perché non viene fornita una classificazione alternativa. | {

Comparative effect of overexpressed phaJ and fabG genes supplementing (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate monomer units on biosynthesis of mcl-polyhydroxyalkanoate in Pseudomonas putida KCTC1639.
phaJ and fabG genes encoding (R)-specific 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase, respectively, were cloned from Pseudomonas putida KCTC1639 and amplified in the parent strain to achieve oversupplementation of (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate monomer units for the biosynthesis of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA). The comparative effect of the overexpressed fabG and phaJ genes in P. putida KCTC1639 on the biosynthesis of mcl-PHA and the cell growth were elucidated. Overexpression of phaJ enhanced the biosynthesis of mcl-PHA, increasing its content and concentration from 18% to 27% and 0.38 to 0.51 g/l, respectively. Conversely, fabG overexpression tended to depress the biosynthesis of mcl-PHA, possibly due to the reversible conversion of (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate monomer units into 3-ketoacyl-CoA. | {

Oh, I have something for you." "It's an "L."" "It's for "loser," because that's what you are, P.J." "You're a loser." "That's funny." "It's almost as funny as your parents naming you Lindsey." "Says P.J., the man named after pajamas." "So, I beat you at the awards, and I topped your joke." "Ah!" "Here's my ace in the hole." "I think you know Alex Turner, my editor?" "Cheer up, guys." "This isn't about who has the best magazine." "Oh, look at that, it actually says "best magazine." Ha!" "And that woman right there is the reason you will never, ever beat me." "Hey, look what I bought!" "Everybody, meet your new editor." "Very happy to be here." "The truth is, I've been a big fan of this magazine ever since P.J. wrote me a giant check earlier today." "Isn't that great?" "I don't think she's joking." "Um, Mr. Jordan, what about Doug?" " Who?" " Our editor." "Hey, P-P-P-P.J. and his pets." "Hey, Doug." "You're fired." "Copy that, captain."

"I'm gonna go pitch Alex my column idea." "Didn't Doug turn that down like four times?" "Well, I don't see Doug around here anymore, do you?" "Hey, Doug." "There's that printer I brought from home when I first started here." "Oh." "That's not my printer." "No." "No." "No." "I want a fun, exciting gray." "That's too exciting." "This is an office, Matt." "Uh, the sofa you selected is too long to get into the elevators." "Well, you'll figure something out." "You're a big, strong man." "So, who are you and what do you want?" "Oh, sorry, I got confused." "Okay." "Hello, curly-haired man-child standing in my office." "What can I do for you?" "Now you say stuff." "Right." "Um, hi, I'm Milo." "I'm one of the writers, and I had an idea for a new column I wanted to run by you." " Uh, it's called "what's it like..."" " Right." "Where I would write about exciting life experiences, such as what's it like to jump out of an airplane or what's it like to get bitten by..." "Pigeon!" "I was thinking more of a shark." "Pigeon gray is the color I'm looking for." "Are we done here?" "Are we?" "I think so." "Great." "Okay." "I love the back-and-forth, so thank you for that." "Um, I'm gonna go and marinate on this" " and I'll come back to you with an idea for the first column?" " I love it." " That is awesome." "Thank you, because Doug never... - on that wall." "Walk with me." "Not you." "Hello, Alex Turner." "I'm Neal from ads." "Hey, Alex, Neal's the name, and ad sales is my current department." "Oh, hey, there." " Hey." " Whoa!" "Neal." "Ads." "Cool handshake, Neal from ads." "See you around." "Yes!" "Whoops." "Aah!" "Come on!" "Ohh!" "Neat." "Your burrito just got to second base with me." "Sorry, I didn't mean to..." "I mean... when I turned, and then..." "I'm Gibbs." "I'm Alex." "Ooh, sweaty handshake you got there." "Oh, no, it's... it's water." "Thanks." "I understand how sweat works." "No, I mean..." "I mean, it's not sweat." "Although I get how you'd think that, but with the burrito and the paper..." "Clammy handshake and can't finish a sentence." "You must be the office ladies' man." "I am." "Who was I?" "Oh, oh." "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!" "I don't do that." "He do that." "I'll tell you, it was pretty sweet." "I just went in there and nailed it." "I couldn't even say words." "I think I might get a motorcycle." "Maybe that's my first column..." ""What's it like to race a motorcycle?"" "And then your second column..." ""What's it like to ride in an ambulance?"" "I wish we had a photograph of that handshake, Gibbs." "You could learn from it." "Boom." " Truth bomb?" " Idea bomb." "They sound really similar." "I'm supposed to take Alex's photo for the editor page, right?" "That's my second chance." "I take a great shot, she's happy with it, then she sees the real me, and boom." " Idea bomb?" " Redemption bomb." "Whoa." "This is bad." " What up?" " I'm seeing that girl, April, from Icon later." "She writes the relationship column over there." "Oh, that's her?" "She's hilarious." "She makes every guy she dates sound like an asshole." "That'll be you!" "You should definitely cancel." "Yeah, but then I'm the dick that cancels at the last minute." "It is hard out there for a pimp." "Well, whatever you do, she's gonna make a story out of it." "Not if I give her nothing to write about." "I'm gonna be the perfect gentleman." "Polite, attentive." "Oh!" "I got the idea for my first column!" "What is it?" "So good!" "Whew!" "I just ran eight blocks 'cause I got the best idea I've ever had." "Want to hear it?" "No, no, no, I shouldn't."

"Had to shut down half the building's electric grid, and they're having a hell of a time getting it back up." "But the point is, I made it happen." "You know, I knew when I saw it in the catalogue" "I was gonna hate it, and I was right." "Don't worry." "You'll get there." "When Alex sees me in my studio, doing my thing, she will see the real me, and this nightmare will be over." "Well, that's the opposite of my plan." "I'm never gonna let her see me again at all." "So you're gonna hide for your entire career?" "If that's what I got to..." "Uh-oh!" "Here she comes!" "Gibbs, you suck." "This is like a photographer's lightsaber." "If you strike me down now, Gibbs," "I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." "Neal, these are not..." "The Gibbs is strong with this one." "Oh, join me and we shall rule the galaxy as Gibbs and Gibbs." "I'm sorry." "I didn't realize you were playing with yourself." "No, no, I was just..." "Ohh." "This is gonna make you laugh." "No, it just makes me a little sad for your parents." "No." "Why don't..." "Why don't we just get started?" "Why don't we just forget this photo shoot?" "Um, call over to Icon and have them send my old editor's photo." " But I was just..." " Taking over the galaxy." "I got it." "Good luck with that." "Was that bad?" "It sounded bad." "Was it bad?" "Please open the elevator." "I promise I'll be a good boy." "So, elevator, what's your name?" "Otis?" "Nice to meet you, Otis." "I'm Milo." "Ugh." "Can't believe it's already been a half an hour." "So, we're in a canoe, in the middle of the lake, and it starts pouring." "You don't really want to hear my summer-camp stories do you?" "I want to hear whatever you want to tell me..." "Because each story is another brush stroke on the painting that is April." "That is...really lovely." "Well, I was aiming for gentlemanly, but I'll take it." "You're different than I thought you'd be." "Well, I like to think of myself as a gentleman, but we're a dying breed." "Oh, listen to me talking about myself." "I'm sorry." "Let's get back to you." "It's 1999, you're in a canoe, and there's a storm coming." "Go." "They're not coming for you, Milo." "This is your home now." "Those are my sleeping quarters." "That's the kitchen." "This is kind of a bonus room." "That's your bathroom." "Sorry, Otis." "Don't look at me." "Why in a shoe?" "I don't know." "Why did you tie your jacket around..." "There are no simple answers to these questions, Neal!" "Boys, how great is this day?" "Alex caught me in a lightsaber battle with myself." "I almost pooped in a shoe." "Okay." "A lot of questions, don't want to ask them." "Were you a gentleman?" "I was like if "The Notebook" and Tobey Maguire had a baby and Mark Ruffalo raised him." "I was the perfect gentleman." "Well, get ready to join team poop-shoe." "I had to call over to Icon to get Alex's editor photo, 'cause that's my job now, I guess..." "Being an errand boy who calls for photos..." "Seriously, how far off topic are you going here?" "So sorry." "The point is, everybody at Icon is laughing at you." " For what?" " Apparently, April was gonna write about what type of player you are, but after tea and crumpets with Tyler Bublé here..." "She's now writing a piece called" ""where have all the real men gone?"" "Oh, come on!" "Yeah, today pretty much blows." "Oh, come on, guys." "All right, if I can turn it around, so can you." "You just..." "You gotta get in there and find your own lucky handshake." "He's right." "Gibbs, you and I are going to Alex's office right now, and we are gonna set her straight." "Let's do it." "So, what do I do here, Neal?" "You keep getting weirder, huh?" "Don't mind me, I'm just checking out this couch." "You're Tyler, right?" "For now." "I might have to change it." "Who pissed in your cup o' noodles?" "I went out with this writer..." "All right, what's his name?" "And when I found out that she was gonna write some hatchet piece about what a dog I was, because I acted like a perfect gentleman on the date, she's now gonna write her column about how there are no real men left in the city." " I have an idea." " You do?" "I'm gonna move this couch into my office and bring that one in here." "Hmm." "You know, I have been on assignment all over the world, and I have seen some awful things." "But seeing you about to grow a tail over a shoe in the elevator..." "That's gonna haunt me." "I know it looked crazy, but that's what happens when you're trapped 20 floors up for what seemed like forever." "You were only in there for 45 minutes." "At first, you think you can handle it, but then the silence slowly chips away at your sanity." "And then the hunger sets in." "It tells you if you don't eat your belt soon, your stomach's gonna crash in upon itself like a sand castle in the wind." "Are we done here?" "Are we?" "I think so." "Oh, you got my photo." "Yeah, I got it, but this isn't really you." "No, it's me..." "With weird hair." "Oh, whoa." "Thank you." "It's like every choice you make is wrong." "This is what you look like." "You're all about m ovement and energy." "This is the real you." "Okay." "Let's go with that one." "I like my hair in it." "Hey, there's my new toy." "How was your maiden voyage?" "Am I gonna be shanked in the alley by any recently fired employees?" "You're safe, for now." "Long day, but I think I got my first issue almost figured out." "Great." "All right, give me the juicy bits." "Well, um, pretty boy here is gonna write an article called "nice guys finish last,"" "all about how being a gentleman is no longer valued by the young jackass girls of this generation." "I am?" "Yes, and it's gonna come out one week before a competing article in Icon written by a former pain-in-the-ass employee." "So we'll scoop them." "And it'll drive Lindsey crazy." "Taking down the old boss on your first day?" "If I didn't need nine different pills to feel below my nipples," "I would kiss you right now." "And Beardy McHobo is going to start a new monthly column called "what's it like..."" "And I just previewed his first installment called "what's it like to be trapped in an elevator?"" "Which may or may not involve pooping in a shoe." "Been there, done that." "And your daughter's boyfriend is a hell of a photographer." "He actually took a picture of me I can stand to look at." "Why did he take your picture?" "Because he had a camera?" "Wait." "What?" "This guy is not my daughter's boyfriend." "You said he was the nerdy one." "Damn right I did." "That's the one who's seeing my daughter..." "Playing peek-a-boo behind the plant there." "Well, he's the coolest guy in this place." "I'm sorry." "What?" "That... that guy's about as cool as a marionette collection." "Here, watch this." "Hey, Fonzie, catch." "Aah!" "He had such a great handshake." "Really?" "I never touched the guy." "Welcome back, Neal." "It was a sweet ride." "So, right there?" "No." "It was more right here." "Why not in a corner?" "Well, there's more room here." "But you could lean here." "I'm not gonna go in the bonus room." "The middle just made more sense, you know?" "You can sort of stretch out here." "They wanted to see how it went." "I'll take the stairs." | {

Yo, I make the place go apeshit (c'mon)
Ain't no other way to say it, ain't nuttin to play with

Cause so many people believe the word even when it seems absurd
With keen observation I peep the game
And got blood on his hands, I can see the stainsMy street slang spray like shots when heat bang out
Niggas keep my name in they mouth, I put they flame out
Where I'm from, action is first and talk is secondI'm sharp like the blade in the logo of Rawkus Records

Hell no, give it up, it's enough

Richard Dawkins has challenged Irish police to arrest him for blasphemy after they investigated Stephen Fry for calling God “capricious, mean-minded [and] stupid”.
In an article for The Irish Times, the outspoken atheist and evolutionary biologist said he would “be available for arrest on a charge of blasphemy” as he gave a public lecture in Ireland.
“I shall be giving a public lecture in the National Concert Hall, Dublin, on June 12th, and I shall therefore be available for arrest on a charge of blasphemy,” he wrote.
To show solidarity with Fry, Dawkins quoted a sentence from his book, The God Delusion: “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
On Twitter, Dawkins added: “The Irish blasphemy law must go. An embarrassment to the civilised world, it encourages the uncivilised one.”
Police dropped their investigation into Mr Fry after failing to find enough people who were outraged by his remarks.
The row prompted prompted New Zealand to commit to repealing its blasphemy laws.
It also led Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams to demand a referendum in Ireland “to allow Stephen Fry or anyone else” to air their views on God without fear of criminal charges.
Under the Defamation Act, blasphemy is punishable by a fine of €25,000 (£21,000) in an offence rooted in the Irish constitution.
Stephen Fry under police investigation for blasphemy after branding God an 'utter maniac'
In Dublin's parliament, Mr Adams said a single complaint had led to the "spectacle of Mr Fry being investigated by the gardai on a criminal charge of blasphemy".
"This story was widely reported in the international media with appropriate mocking commentary and some disbelief," he said.
"Blasphemy should have no place in the constitution."
Mr Adams urged Taoiseach Enda Kenny to arrange a referendum - which is needed to change the constitution - as soon as possible to remove the blasphemy clause.
Referencing a famous remark from the surreal Irish sitcom Father Ted, he asked: "Will you give citizens the opportunity to say clearly, 'down with that sort of thing', and allow Stephen Fry or anyone else to express an opinion without threat of criminal proceedings?"
Across the chamber, Mr Kenny said the last known prosecution for blasphemy in Ireland was thought to have been in 1855.
There have been no such prosecutions under the Defamation Act, introduced in 2009, he added.
Mr Kenny said it had already been agreed by government to hold a referendum on the issue, and it was simply a case of "finding an opportunity to deal with this".

The row erupted after a member of the public contacted police about Fry's interview on Irish broadcaster RTE's show The Meaning Of Life in February 2015.
The footage went viral after it was aired and has now been seen more than seven million times on YouTube.
Asked what he would say if he was confronted by God, Fry replied: "How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It's not right. It's utterly, utterly evil.
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?"
Questioned on how he would react if he was locked outside the pearly gates, he responded: "I would say, 'Bone cancer in children? What's that about?'
"Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac.
"Totally selfish. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of God would do that?" | {

The critical consensus is that The Social Network is one of the best movies of 2010. According to a handful of voices, it's also one of the most sexist, populated by female characters who, in the words of The Daily Beast's Rebecca Davis O'Brien, exist only as "props, buxom extras literally bussed in to fill the roles of doting groupies, vengeful sluts, or dumpy, feminist killjoys...foils for the male characters, who in turn are cruel or indifferent to them."
Which, according to Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing), was the whole point of the movie. Sorkin offered his defense-slash-mea-culpa for the film this weekend in the comments section of TV writer Ken Levine's blog. Was the film misogynistic? Yes. But it was deliberately misogynistic. Explains Sorkin, in response to a commenter who said the writer "failed the women in [his] script":
I was writing about a very angry and deeply misogynistic group of people. These aren't the cuddly nerds we made movies about in the 80's. They're very angry that the cheerleader still wants to go out with the quarterback instead of the men (boys) who are running the universe right now. The women they surround themselves with aren't women who challenge them (and frankly, no woman who could challenge them would be interested in being anywhere near them.) ... I wish I could go door to door and make this explanation/apology to any woman offended by the things you've pointed out but obviously that's unrealistic so I thought the least I could do was speak directly to you.

The present invention relates to a shipping method and shipping slip for delivering to a recipient an article for shipping accepted from a sender and guaranteeing that the article for shipping has remained unopened from time of acceptance from sender until delivery to recipient.
Generally, when a package is to be sent to another party, a shipping service such as parcel post or parcel delivery is most often used. However, with the use of a shipping service to send confidential documents and valuable goods in particular there is a demand for a guarantee that an article for shipping has remained unopened during delivery from sender to recipient. In this regard, sealing an article for shipping with a seal enables confirmation that the article for shipping has remained unopened (for example, patent document 1).

No, Trump’s Racist Anti-Muslim Proposal is Very American
By Sikivu Hutchinson
In 1963, Malcolm X declared that John F. Kennedy’s
assassination was an example of “chickens coming home to roost”. He argued that the U.S.’ climate of bigotry
and state violence was to blame for his death.
Taken out of context, his comments were misconstrued by some as
endorsing Kennedy’s murder. In an interview
with journalist Louis Lomax he maintained, “I meant that the death of Kennedy was the result of a long
line of violent acts, the culmination of hate and suspicion and doubt in this
country.”
Malcolm X’s critique resonates in an environment of
in-your-face white supremacist vitriol stoked by nearly eight years of hating
on Obama and social justice. Exhibit A
is Donald Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and the nativist
feeding frenzy it’s inspired from white Middle America.
Yet, one of my pet peeves is those who self-righteously
claim that these fascist acts are “un-American”, when they are merely chickens
coming home to roost. In his criticism of Trump’s rhetoric, President Obama
claimed that this “is not who we are as Americans”. Continuing in this vein, CNN commentator
Fareed Zakaria wrote
recently about being “appalled” by Trump’s bigotry as a naturalized American
citizen (the essay is entitled “I am a Muslim. But Trump’s views appall me because
I’m an American”). Zakaria said he’s
“proud of that identity because as an immigrant, it
came to me through deep conviction and hard work, not the accident of birth.”
Zakaria’s statements are problematic
on a few levels. First, there is the
specter of model minority bootstraps meritocracy implied by the characterization
“hardworking immigrant”. While some are
“simply” granted the so-called rights and privileges of American citizenship
due to the accident of birth, others like Zakaria, have worked damn hard to
earn it. Zakaria’s evocation of American
exceptionalism discounts the realities of people of color in a nation where “hardworking”
has practically become an antonym for being black.
Secondly, Zakaria laments being forced
to claim his Muslim otherness despite identifying as a secular agnostic. Perhaps
privileged brown folk like him can turn a blind eye to the pervasive
invisibility and bigotry that non-white non-Christian Americans experience, but
the majority don’t have the luxury.
After each terror attack allegedly perpetrated
in the name of Islam, the U.S. launches into a predictable cycle of heightened
anti-Muslim Islamophobic attacks and hate incidents. Muslim communities become more visible to the
mainstream as a reviled other, while public officials decry these explicit acts
of profiling as an anomaly—not reflective of the “true” spirit of American
values.
But the true spirit of American values
has always been demonization of the other in the name of “democracy”. Homilies about the U.S.’ moral uprightness
and vaunted democratic freedoms are belied by the staggering reality of epic
racial wealth gaps, deepening racial segregation and state violence. Exceptionalists like Obama and Zakaria cling
to the notion that the U.S. has the highest standard of living and greatest
economic mobility among “developed” nations.
They peddle the illusion of American religious freedom and tolerance,
despite the overwhelmingly Christian face of elected officials and the
anti-Muslim, anti-secular bigotry that this dominance fuels. And they bandy the
myth of civil education despite the apartheid structure of American public
schools, their Eurocentric curricula, destructive zero tolerance policies and policing
of children of color.
What the “I’m appalled because I’m an
American” flag-wrapping posture really implies is that those others—in backward
non-enlightened, non-Western societies that are supposedly so radically
different from ours—don’t have the same high regard for principles of equality
and justice.
Tell that to the descendants of
Japanese Americans displaced from their homes, jobs and livelihoods during the
World War II-era internment.
Tell that
to the hundreds of activists of color discredited and slaughtered under the
U.S.’ COINTELPRO regime.
Tell that to black children systematically brutalized in the Obama
administration’s police state schools while they pledge “one nation under God”. Flag wrapping and patriotism in the face of
fascism, overt and covert, are the
last refuge of ahistorical scoundrels. | {

Welcome Back, Nokia - tilt
http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/24/just-try-a-windows-phone/
======
laacz
TechCrunch did it again. Brutal PR. I mean, 33% (OMG, 33%!!) of a market,
which is tiny. In a linked article it says, that nokia sold 1 million (that's
rounded up from mentioned .9 mil) devices in Q4. WP7 share is around .5 to
1.5% (range seen on few quickly googled reports).
So, 33% you say?
~~~
nailer
Sure, WP7 isn't much of the market now. The implication is that this is market
share of a _growing_ platform. WP7 handsets sell for the same pricepoint as
low end Android devices. And, according to most of the reviews, it's a better
product. The idea TC has is that Nokia is going to take a lot of those
customers.
~~~
JoeAltmaier
Supported by what? The article was vague, it talked more about the plastic
than the apps. What apps? Why did I have to ask that question? Where's any
hard data?
~~~
nailer
> Supported by what?
Both sales data, and user agents on the mobile web. This is fairly easily
Googlable.
> The article was vague, it talked more about the plastic than the apps. What
> apps?
Are you saying app #s would be a more relevant measure of market growth?
~~~
JoeAltmaier
So now I do the legwork for articles, instead of the author? Great! "All
Minnesotans are stupider than Iowans! Look it up!"
Apps may not really be relevant to market grows, but they would be relevant to
the article subject, "Welcome back, Nokia". Are they back? Is anybody writing
apps for their phone? Why would I want one? All reasonable questions,
revolving around apps.
------
nailer
I've always admired the design of Windows Phone, and (despite owning three
Android phones in a row) hated Android's "we've made the sale, now we don't
care anymore" support model.
But I was never going to buy one of those horrible LG or Samsung Windows Phone
devices. They feel cheap and clunky. The 800 is a solid, smooth credit-card-
like device. It feels nice in the hand, like the first iPhone did. Once WP8 is
released (provided it has some equivalent of W8's WinJS) I think I'm going to
buy one.

Ophiothrix fragilis
Ophiothrix fragilis is a species of brittle star in the order Ophiurida. It is found around the coasts of western Europe and is known in Britain as the common brittle star. It is also found along the coast of South Africa where it is known as the hairy brittle star.
Description
The common brittle star is extremely variable in colouration, ranging from violet, purple or red to yellowish or pale grey, often spotted with red. The arms are usually white or grey with pink bands. The central disc is about one centimetre in diameter with the five arms being about five times as long. The disc is clothed in five rays of spines radiating from a spiny centre. Between these are five pairs of triangular plates, each pair forming a heart shaped pattern. The slender tapering arms are quite distinct from the disc and are covered with overlapping scales. The dorsal arm plates are naked and have a longitudinal keel. Each arm segment bears seven glassy, toothed spines. The arms are extremely fragile and easily shed, coming away either whole or in pieces.
Distribution and habitat
This species is common around the coasts of Britain and Ireland and in the North Sea. It ranges southwards from the Lofoten Islands and Iceland to the Mediterranean Sea and the Azores, and along the west coast of Africa south to the Cape of Good Hope. It is most common on tide-swept rock and on coarse sediments, preferring hard substrates including sand and shingle. It is often found in empty shells or under stones, from the littoral zone down to 350 metres.
Biology
The common brittle star sometimes congregates offshore in vast numbers and as many as two thousand individuals have been recorded in a single square metre. Higher up the shore it normally lives a solitary existence under seaweed or pebbles or in crevices. It moves by jerking a pair of limbs forward and pulling itself along.
The common brittle star is a scavenger, feeding on dead organisms. It is also a suspension feeder, raising an arm and extending the tube feet in order to catch particles floating by. It then passes the food to the mouth with its arms. Its abundance varies according to environmental conditions including temperature and the availability of food. After mild winters, it has been found in very large numbers in the Oosterschelde estuary in the Netherlands.
The common brittle star is itself eaten by other species and can be found among the stomach contents of most common predators. However its glassy spicules may make it unpalatable, it lives in concealed places and is well camouflaged so that it blends in with its surroundings which combine to reduce predation. A study of skeletal bands suggests that it may live for as many as ten years.
Like some other brittle stars, Ophiothrix fragilis has symbiotic bacteria under its cuticle. The host-bacteria association can be upset by acute stress, and changes in levels of bacteria present can be used as an indicator of stress.
This brittle star usually spawns between May and January. Each individual is thought to spawn just once during each breeding season. A week after spawning, the planktonic larvae appear in the water column. They metamorphose into young brittle stars which drift in the plankton for about three weeks before settling. The smallest brittle stars found have just two segments per arm and a disc diameter of two millimetres.

Does the Yakuza feel that these scenes from Japanese mythology express who they really are, outside of propaganda-fueled stereotypes?
If the Yakuza want to use tattoos to show the public that they’re in a gang, they will simply wear visible tattoos and say they are Yakuza. But they’re not that stupid. I don’t think they get their tattoos with their allegiance to the Yakuza in mind. People sometimes refer to Yakuza through the word ninkyō, which actually means "helping people below you." Yakuza are trying to help people, and that’s what it is traditionally about. The tattoos are to show that they have the strength to help the weak. But it doesn’t need to be made public. | {

I’m bringing back the Digest thing I had way back before, but this time, it will only cover manga. I know I read a lot but it’s so hard to put them into separate posts, and I hate it when I read a chapter then I wouldn’t be able to share my impressions. So I thought of a way that will make it easier, and I’ll be doing this one to save time and post counts~.
Rofl~ Oh poor Shinagawa for getting the merchant job class in an online game XD. But anyway, it is Chiba-kun who gets the spotlight this chapter for beating the school delinquent in the online game. Turns out that the student was not going to school not because he got addicted so much on the game, but he IS in the actual game. The SOS Dan group now has to rescue him and get him out of there. Yeah, now I mentioned the SOS Dan, there’s a striking similarity with them in this part to the Day of Sagittarius in TMoHS. But instead of a space-themed game, they got into a Ragnarok-esque game instead. This manga keeps up the humor and I’m still waiting for some development since I felt like there’s so much filler arcs in the story.
Kimi no Iru Machi: Chapter 42
Wow, is it just me or Haruto is really getting closer to Rin? Ugh, Rin’s a bitch tbh, and her I found her “cute” side really annoying. I really don’t know what’s her purpose but she looks like she’s trying to get Haruto on her hands. Good thing that she’s gone now for the meantime as Haruto takes her back to the city. Bye bitch~…
Hana to Akuma: Chapter 17
Nothing can get much more cuter than a stubborn little demon named Vivi~ XD. Vivi’s brother visited the mansion and plays with Hana while Vivi gets all jealous XD. I really love how this one gets to its slice-of-life side more. My only complaint though is that it really takes sooooo long for a development. I know Hana loves Vivi and vice versa. It’s that Vivi gets so reluctant to touch Hana because he’s a demon. I really love their relationship.
07-GHOST: Kapitel 35
Kyaaa~ I really love seeing how Frau gets developed in Teito. Teito thought that he’s still a weak person but Frau disagrees that it’s not being weak, it’s being kind. The end of this chapter was quite mysterious though, because Teito woke up in a huge bed with lots of dolls (Pandora Hearts much? XD) and I wonder what will happen next ^^.
Kuroshitsuji: Chapter 32
Yandere Finn ftw~ Wow, this series is getting darker and darker, isn’t it? I really want to separate it to a different post but ehh, it will take so much time so I’ll just insert this one in here ^^. Ciel really proved that the whole Phantomhive household isn’t just like any other house helpers out there. It’s still a mystery on what they could do, or maybe Sebastian has something to do with them as well ^^. But this chapter is made of so much win because Finn~ I love Finn ^^ and it’s nice to see some blood shed in his face and killing evil people who are planning to go against Ciel-sama. I really can’t wait for the next chapter to see what Finn did to the poor guy.
Switch Girl!: Chapter 2
Pfft… Bwahahahaha xDDD Oh my god her panties are dropped!!! What a pervert that guy is D<! That’s another hilarious chapter again. Sad that it really takes soooo long for it to get updated but I won’t complain and instead just wish the scanlators for more power~. In the second chapter, Switch Girl confronts Switch Guy, we get a very very VERY corny dilemma of a pervert suddenly pulling down her underwear only to take a picture of her butt to put her to shame. I really don’t know if that really does happen in Japan but that guy really need to be killed XD. Switch guy lend a hand to help her catch the pervert but it was still Switch Girl that proves she ain’t no damsel in distress ^^.
Gyakusou Shoujo – Owaranai Natsuyasumi: Chapter 01-04
And rounding up the digest is a fresh pick I just started reading a while ago. Wow, this whole thing’s a mess… A very crazy mess, in a good way and I’m totally at the edge of my seat on this one. The story was really fresh and complex for a shoujo manga, plus there’s a lot of twists that I can’t guess what will happen next. It’s really hard to explain but hmm, I guess I could compare it to a game where you make decisions and wherein each decision leads you to a different path. I suggest you should check it out yourself instead ^^. Just by the very first chapter, I was all “WTF?” already, with its reference to De Ja Vu, Parallel Worlds, Time Travelling and The Butterfly Effect. She really goes back and forth from time to time. Everything changes and it really gets too confusing that I wanna find out and read the rest of the series already!
Read Gyakusou Shoujo and my head hurt! It’s so confusing… I don’t get it why is she always getting pulled here and there in different times like contuining a game. It’s really confusing. And I don’t get the guy too. Is he the same as the guy who killed her in one parallel universe or he’s different?
The guy is the same (lol they have the same names!) and the reason why one is bad because of how a certain decision affected him from the past. That’s also the same with the good guy in another parallel universe. We have yet to know the reason why they happened though XD. | {

Intellectual Honesty compels us to ask a question
Intellectual honesty means a lot to me.
Several opinions that I hold now (anti-anti-trust, anti-death-penalty, anti-abortion) were once anathema to me and I had a list of reasons to justify each…but none-the-less, in support of the virtue of open-mindedness, I decided to confront the best arguments of the other side and see if my opinions could hold up to the facts.
Of course, not every opinion I've held has been changed – sometimes I stumbled into the correct (or, rather, "not yet disproven") opinion early and stuck with it.
For a decade or more I've had a lot of respect for science fiction writer Ken MacLeod ( Wikipedia blog, twitter) and – more recently – for Kevin Carson ( Wikipedia, blog, twitter).
Both strike me as very fair-minded, seem to evidence respect for individual rights in the radical way that I usually only see from libertarians and anarcho-capitalists, and are kind in their interactions with those that they don't agree with.
If smart and decent people could adopt a philosophy it behooved me to at the very least investigate it. In short: I decided to read a bit about left-libertarianism.
My first experience was frustrating – what I could read didn't make a whole lot of sense, and I couldn't find anyone who had the time to explain it to me in terms that I could grok.
So I read some more…and it still didn't make sense.
Now, a note: there are two kinds of things that don't make sense:
pure crap things that make sense but use a framework that's a bit more nuanced than the one you're used to.
The problem, of course, is that if you spend too much time thinking about something that turns out to be crap, you just waste some of your precious hours here on the planet.
The other side of the coin is that if you spend too little time thinking about something that might be useful, you never learn that thing, and – worse – you run the risk of pontificating that actually-useful-thing-X is stupid.
Worst of all, there's no way ahead of time to know if you're going to ever reach a decision.
The good news with my attempting to grok left-libertarianism is that I think I finally got an intellectual toe-hold in the idea.
What is left-libertarianism?
First, let us discuss what libertarianism is:
Libertarianism is the group of political philosophies which advocate minimizing coercion and emphasize freedom, liberty, and voluntary association. Libertarians generally advocate a society with significantly less government compared to most present day societies.
There are pedants out there who like to argue for days about definitions. While I am a pedant, I am not that type of pedant; this definition looks pretty good to me.
Now, most of what I associate with the left is the antithesis of this: top-down economic planning, social engineering to destroy the family, either empowerment of the working-class mob to oppress the productive middle class or empowerment of the fringe faux-intellectual elite to oppress the productive middle class, the establishment of thought-crimes laws and the suppression of free speech, etc.
So part of the problem I was having understanding the term "left libertarianism" was that it struck me as a contradiction bundled right in the terminology. It was a crazy nonsense term, like "philo-Semitic Nazi" or "pro-war Nobel Peace Prize winner". Sometimes, though, when words don't make sense, that's because you've got inadequate words. The concept of libertarianism itself was once confusing to me because I didn't understand how one could be against both government incursion in the economic realm and government incursion in the personal realm. The problem, of course, was not in the definition of "libertarian", but in the fact that my thinking was embedded in the terms that I had been handed.
The solution was the Nolan Chart.
Wait, no.
This:
So – what is left-libertarianism?
My take on it is that there's a third axis to this chart that we haven't yet teased out. In fact, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of other axises we could add to the chart. "Appreciation for classical music" is one such axis. We'll find that where there used to be just four quadrants there are now eight sectors: right wing classicists, right wing modern rockers, libertarian classicists, etc.
This particular axis isn't very useful, so I don't intend to pay attention to it.
Other candidate axises are more interesting. For example "appreciation of nature". Add that axis and we'll find that there are some right wingers who backpack and really want to use social tools that the right endorses (contract law, private property, markets, some limited government parks) to preserve the environment, and other right wingers who would prefer to pave over every patch of dirt so that we can erect skyscrapers which are the truest expression of Roarkian individualism, or something.
Care / Harm
In this particular case, I think that the third axis that we need to add to explain left wing libertarianism is a social axis: "sympathy with business owners" vs "sympathy with workers". Like "appreciation for classical music", this is not an axis that directly leads to policy prescriptions, but it does, I suggest, indirectly lead to a few…but the largest effect is a social effect. Right wing libertarians find it a bit difficult to listen to left wing libertarians because they keep nattering on in odd terms and their focus is often distracted from the "interesting" stuff.
Here's one example of how right libertarians and left libertarians can end up talking about the same policy prescription but do so using different terms and rationales.
A left wing libertarian quiz asks this question
http://c4ss.org/quiz Rich societies should share wealth with producers in poor societies by allowing free entry to the goods and services they produce, rather than imposing trade barriers on them.
which is, for a variety of reasons, hippie nonsense.
This quiz, on the other hand, asks a good sane anarcho-capitalist question:
Are you for free trade?
Except, of course, these are the same question; it's just the social flavor and all the assumptions behind them that differ.
I, for example, think that there should be free trade because no politician has the right to tell me, an American, that I can't trade with some poor Mexican worker…and, as a side effect, both the Mexican and I will be made better off.
The hippie nonsense puts it the other way around: there should be free trade because some poor Mexican worker will be made better off…and, as a side effect, I get to give the finger to some American politician.
Question after question, the left wing libertarians are saying smart things in foolish ways – am I against welfare because it enslaves and belittles inner city blacks? No! I'm against welfare because no one has the right to steal my money…and, as a side effect, I guess, it also encourages a culture of dependency that is soul sucking. Am I against government funding and directing industry because it enriches the connected frat-boy MBA plutocrats (and also wastes a lot of money?). No! I'm against government funding and directing industry because it wastes a lot of money (and also, I guess, enriches the connected frat-boy MBA douche-bags).
So at least a large chunk of the difference between left-libertarianism and right-libertarianism is just phrasing, albeit phrasing that reflects an additional ethical basis that libertarians don't always score high on: care/harm.
In so far as I can currently see, this higher score on the care scale doesn't result in many policy differences.
Sympathy – with "the workers" or with "the bosses" ?
The second thing that seems to separate left-libertarians from right-libertarians is that the former seem to empathize more with "the workers" while right libertarians empathize with "the bosses".
There's a funny thing about Ren Faire geeks: they all love the idea of living in the Middle Ages…and most of them picture themselves living in a castle, having a huge library, having a retinue of servants to do their laundry, etc. Based on the clothing, the posters, and so on, very few women medieval-philes yearn for a world where they get pregnant at 15 and pop out kids every 18 months in between hoeing the garden patch and weaving homespun until they die of cholera at 30.
There's a similar issue in right-libertarians: most of us picture ourselves as captains of industry and not as workers. Ayn Rand wrote about a lot about copper mine owners and train barons, and not much copper miners working 12 hour shifts swinging picks in the dark.
Now, I don't juxtapose these two paragraphs because I've been convinced that they are exactly the same thing: I think that the Middle Ages sucked, in part, because there was no social mobility, no meritocracy, and the incentives were all wrong…and I think that the closer our society gets to a right-libertarian idea, the more there is social mobility, the more there is meritocracy, and the better the incentives are. In anarcho-topia, the pick-axe swinger is free to quit his job, buy his own pick-axe, and start his own copper mine.
…but is it really that easy?
Might there be either social realities or government regulations (even in the night watchman state) that make this hard?
The hard-core right libertarian in me wants to shrug this off. Heck, my own experience starting companies and dabbling in all sorts of minor ventures makes me want to shrug this off.
…but indulge me. Play a game. Do the Ideological Turing Test: explain to me (i.e. to yourself) why, from a left-wing perspective, it's not as easy for a social minority to start a new copper mine, or HTML consulting shop, or deli, as it is for "one of us".
Well, if I put on my left-wing hat, I guess I can be forced to admit that as a kid from the suburbs with an intact family, I learned a few things:
the value of hard work
the value of selling myself to clients
the importance of first impressions
the importance of socially appropriate clothing
how to get a bank loan
the fact that one can get a bank loan
get a bank loan the importance of showing up on time
the importance of treating customers appropriately
etc
etc
etc
all of which might be harder for someone with a different background to grok.
Now, if we overreach here we run the risk of engaging in the "bigotry of low expectations" – it is undeniable racist to say "Oh, of course no black person can start a company – those blacks don't know that you have to show up on time".
…but we can express some truths with out overreaching: not everyone has the same "cultural DNA" that allows them to strike out on their own and succeed.
So, that being said, it follows that not everyone has the same suite of potential responses to being in a job they don't like. You or I, with our college degrees, equity in our homes, a panoply of fallback skills, a network of friends who have spare bedrooms we could crash in should worst come to worst, etc. can do something if we work in a copper mine and don't like it: we can quit and start a new firm, or quit and get a new job.
Yes, a black person, or a recent Hispanic immigrant, or an Appalachian white with a 9th grade education, etc. can do these things too, and tons of members of these groups have done exactly this…but that does not mean that it's equally easy for them.
Crony Capitalism
As a right wing ancap, I deeply dislike the government getting in bed with industry. Most of my ire is aimed at traditional Democratic boondoggles: bailing out GM to buy off the unions and purchase votes for Obama with taxpayer dollars, pouring money down the Solyndra rat-hole ( showers with liquid crystal displays in them, anyone?), wind-farm idiocy, and on and on and on.
…but there is plenty of red state crony capitalism too: vast subsidies for the corn farmers of Iowa where we pay people to make terrible crappy fuel that destroys small engines and puts more carbon in the air for less miles driven.
I disagree with the Occupy Wall Street folks on just about everything, starting with culture, moving on to bathing, and running the gamut from there.
…but I've listened to their complaints, and it's becoming more and more clear to me that huge swaths of our economy are "too big to fail" institutions that are artificially pumped up by the government, and then kept running no matter how many bad decisions they make. Left-wing libertarians are better than right-wing libertarians at pointing these out: from the mortgage industry to the big banks to Hollywood (with the insanely long-term copyright laws that have been written just for it) to Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet supporting high taxes but then using every loophole in the book to avoid them for his friends and cronies, and on and on and on, it's clear that huge swaths of our so-called "private" sector are deeply in bed with the government and have laws written at their behest that insulate them from their own bad decisions.
Individual Autonomy
So, continuing with our Ideological Turing Hat firmly in place, we might not reach for our "if they don't like it they can quit" stick quite so quickly and express some sympathy with them. My point here is not that we should quickly reach for the typical left-wing solutions of school breakfasts, more after school programs, and racially discriminatory college admissions that funnel minority students into useless majors like "African studies" – the left-libertarian does not, and we should not either. My point is, instead, to merely create some sympathy.
Now, with this sympathy, how might our view on the political economy differ? True, if we were being perfectly logical Vulcans before, the mere act of sympathizing should not change our thoughts on political economy – our opinions were arrived at by pure reason, and should not be changed by gross feelings, eh?
…and yet, I, a bastard as heartless as any other, do find that when I approach things like this, my viewpoint does, in fact, shift a bit.
If I put on my "single black mother with a high school degree" hat and am asked to start listing annoyances, indignities, and structural barriers, I can rattle off a bunch:
perhaps I work at a factory, and I find it demeaning that I'm given a demerit if I'm even five minutes late, despite the fact that my daughter was sick that morning
perhaps I take the bus to work, and the buses clump up: instead of one every 15 minutes, I get two back to back, and then nothing for 30 minutes
perhaps my foreman at the factory, with seniority and lifetime tenure, talks down to me and seems to positively delight in sticking me on the one machine I don't like
perhaps when I complain to his boss, he's too concerned about the paperwork on his plate to do anything about it – he knows that I'm replaceable
perhaps I attended an event by a local bank on starting my own small company, but it turns out that hair braiding requires 500 hours of classroom time
perhaps despite this, I started a small company and then I got a threatening letter from Disney because I used a painting of Mickey Mouse in the window of my shop
perhaps when my business folded I wanted to go back to my old job, but the factory had moved out to the suburbs and the city bus-line doesn't run there.
…
Again, we right-libertarians have answers to all of these problems: if you don't like it, leave. If you don't understand copyright and trademark law, then just use Wikipedia to learn more. If you can't get a loan, then you don't deserve a loan.
…but none of these address the core problems that left-libertarians and other leftists raise.
Leftists of various stripes (left-libertarians, anarcho-syndicalists, etc.) come back again and again to "the bosses". I suppose that I've never been deeply upset by bosses because I've always had half-way decent bosses, and I've always found it easy to get a new job. Clearly "the bosses" are a bigger problem for people with bad bosses or with no ability to change their bosses. Heck, even a UAW worker making an obscene amount of money can't take his salary with him if he leaves a company – his salary is tied deeply to his employer, and not to his market value. What must it be like to have a bad boss? It occurs to me that since we are so much social animals, that part of the problem with having a boss is not just in having a bad boss, but in the very nature of having a boss. A very skilled, very well paid friend told me recently that he was told that he "had" to work over the weekend. Having been self-employed for over a decade now, I found this a little hard to wrap my head around. If I was told that I "had to" do something, it'd be hard to keep the words "go fuck yourself" from exploding from my lips.
There is something in human nature, yes, that likes a hierarchy.
…but there is also something in human nature that despises a hierarchy that is too close, or too micro-managing.
I don't mind receiving my just deserts for my labor, or for my sloth (run your own business and you'll see this).
I don't even mind receiving deserts that come from an unlucky roll of the dice (run your own business and you'll see a lot of this).
What would gall me, though, is someone telling me that I had to change my weekend plans.
My friend, despite having a salary that is probably twice mine, and far fewer headaches and fears about bank loans and such, tells me at least once a week "I envy you; you're your own man".
Let's get back to the c4ss.org quiz. There's this question:
Self-employment or work as a member of a cooperative or partnership is generally preferable to working for a boss, all other things being equal.
This, I think, is the final major bit of the distinction between right-libertarians: the left-libertarian has a deep appreciation that it is more fully human to chart your own path. This is, of course, a radical anti-American – no, I'm joking. It's just Jefferson's concept of "yeoman farmer" in the 21st century.
Minor Bits
Many left-wing market anarchists embrace Georgism, thinking that there is something special about land, or think that legitimately owned resources that are not currently being used in production can be morally expropriated, and I find this not only morally dubious (at best) but also harmful to maximizing total utility (if I can't keep a factory in reserve against market fluctuations, then I am forced to run it at some minimal level in order to keep the squatters at bay, and that costs money and destroys overall societal utility).
tl;dr
I think I've identified four ways that left-libertarians differ from right-libertarians, and that Left-wing market anarchism differs from right-wing anarchocapitalism:
moral basis: an emphasis on care/harm
social basis: sympathy with "the workers"
economic basis: greater emphasis on how large swaths of the "free market" are really crony capitalism
self-fulfillment basis: an acknowledgement of how individual autonomy is necessary for dignity and achievement of "the good"
I find that a lot of the cultural baggage of the left is still deeply distasteful to me: if I met a white kid in dreadlocks named "Starfinder" who wanted to know if I had any weed he could borrow while he told about how "The Man" is responsible for the fact that his ska band still hasn't recorded their first album, I'd be have a greater desire to borrow a cop's truncheon to beat him with than I would have to invite him over to my house for coffee.
…but on policy prescriptions, criticism of crony capitalism, and thoughts on self-fulfillment, I find that there's not a lot of light in between my views and what I take to be those of left-wing market anarchists.

Rapid response of patients simultaneously treated with lithium and nortriptyline.
To shorten the latency-to-response time for antidepressant treatment, three patients diagnosed with major depression were treated simultaneously with lithium and nortriptyline. Symptoms responded markedly by Day 7 and completely resolved by Day 14. Patients experienced few side effects. | {

Paris Hilton Cries Cause She Can't Dance
did what she does best last Thursday night. She hosted a celebrity party, this time for 944 magazine. Her paltook the stage and gave Paris, who was seated in the front row, a shout out. This pleased her to the point that she started to sing.
But singing wasn't enough for Paris. She decided she needed to get up on the stage to share her dance moves with the crowd. This didn't sit well with the hip hop artists crew or the stagehands. She was told to "get the f**k off the stage". Paris started to cry, pleading with the angry crew, "but it's my party". Oh the drama.
There is a photo of Paris before she got the boot. | {

A "KISS" EMR may be all you need.
The Obama Administration has continued where the previous one left off in advocating the widespread adoption of electronic (digital) medical records (EMRs). But an expensive EMR system loaded with bells and whistles that you don't really need, and requiring doctors to interact with computers, can cost you in terms of patient-care time as well as money. The Big Three (which can encompass dictation/transcription), drug prescribing, and lab test ordering/results. An inexpensive "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid) EMR containing these basic elements, and not requiring disruptive changes in office routines, may be all you really need. | {

Effects of cardioplegic arrest on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function of the intact neonatal heart.
The effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function were studied in 20 intact neonatal lambs instrumented with ultrasonic dimension transducers and micromanometers for collection of left ventricular pressure-dimension data. Group I lambs underwent 2 hours of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (25 degrees C) alone; group II lambs underwent 2 hours of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (25 degrees C) with 1 hour of multidose, cold, crystalloid cardioplegic arrest (St. Thomas' Hospital No. 2 solution). The control neonatal lamb left ventricle was found to be relatively stiff, with the limit of diastolic filling reached at physiologic left ventricular filling pressures, resulting in apparent descending limbs of left ventricular function. After cardiopulmonary bypass, identical results were obtained in groups I and II. A significant loss of left ventricular compliance limited left ventricular performance via two mechanisms. First, left ventricular preload was significantly decreased, with a concomitant diminution in left ventricular stroke work; afterload (pressure work) was maintained at the expense of volume work (flow), which declined significantly. Second, preload behaved as though fixed, resulting in a loss of impedance matching (afterload mismatch). Although contractility as assessed by the end-systolic pressure-dimension relationship was significantly increased (because of increased levels of circulating catecholamines), global systolic performance as quantified by the stroke work/end-diastolic length relationship remained unchanged, reflecting the afterload sensitivity of the latter parameter in the face of fixed preload. We conclude that cardiopulmonary bypass in the intact neonate results in a loss of compliance and impedance matching rather than a loss of contractility; however, the addition of 1 hour of cold, crystalloid cardioplegic arrest results in no dysfunction beyond that attributable to cardiopulmonary bypass alone. | {

Sucking up subsidies
March last year, I was railing against the madness of Feed-in-tariffs (FIT) for solar power, with a particularly vitriolic word (or two) for the Tories. My singular grief with them was that they had taken the Labour scheme to fund solar power to the level of two percent of national capacity and demanded an increase to 15 percent by 2020.
Thereby did they in one fell swoop elevate madness to rabid insanity, adding not £80 billion or so to the capital costs of our electricity system but, potentially £600 billion, recoverable by the suppliers from the FIT which, by 2020 could have reached £60 billion a year.
As it turned out, the Tories may be stupid – exceedingly so – and dishonest to a degree scarcely imaginable, but they are not (yet) certifiably insane. Faced with giving a blank cheque to the solar providers, last November they sneaked in a cap on payments. This was estimated at £400 million for the period 2014-5 but even that has been cut back to £360 million under the comprehensive spending review.
This is still £360 million too much – real money added to our electricity bills, but it is a far cry from the £60 billion a year the Tories were calling for when they were in opposition – proving once again that politicians will promise the moon in order to get power and then lie through their back teeth when they get it.
But, there is some joy to be had from The Guardian squealing with indignation that the now-capped "green subsidy" that was intended to pay homeowners, schools and community groups for installing solar panels, looks as if it is going to be sucked up by an increasing array of industrial-scale solar farms, run by thieving capitalist pigs.
What has one beating head against wall in despair, though, is the reaction of the Guardian on learning that its fluffy greens are to be deprived of their muesli money from their "microgeneration", complaining that: "What no one seems to have predicted is the emergence of large-scale solar farms". Doh! Are they really that thick? Are they that ignorant? Don't they know what happened in Germany, where Frau Merkel is rowing back on the FIT as fast as her greenie partners will let her?
Still, at least The Guardian is now admitting that FIT is a "subsidy", which it seems happy to do, now it is going to capitalist pigs instead of tofu-knitters. But one still marvels at the idea that greens can be quite as stupid as they appear to be. Still, there is hope for us yet as the judiciary must surely now stop them breeding. | {

A blue-movie actress skyrocketed to internet fame overnight this week as a video of her having sex inside a Tesla Model X on Autopilot mode went viral on Pornhub.
The nine-minute clip (and, no we aren’t linking to the video, find it yourself) has a whopping 1.9m views and counting on the world's most popular porno site. You may think that Pornhub must be flooded with racy content filmed in autonomous cars, so what’s special about this one? Well, it appears to be the first X-rated flick filmed using Tesla's super-cruise-control neural-network-based Autopilot on the road.
“Earlier this year I was on a road trip with my boyfriend and he asked me to have sex with him while driving,” the independent porn star known as Taylor Jackson told El Reg on Friday.
“We both thought it was hot and joked about doing it again and putting it on Pornhub. We thought someone had to have done it before so we looked it up, but we couldn't find a single video. A few weeks later I signed up for a Pornhub account and this video was one of the first few videos I made.”
FYI: You could make Tesla's Autopilot swerve into traffic with a few stickers on the road READ MORE
Autopilot, at the moment, requires the driver to keep their hands on the wheel while it autosteers, though Tesla hopes to eventually fill out its technology to fully hands-free. If you watch the XXX vids, which we did in the interests of investigative journalism and data science, you'll see Taylor's boyfriend in the driver seat with Taylor, well, on top, and um, while there's a lot of hand movements, there's not always a lot hands on the wheel.
The hardcore scene, uploaded a month ago, has gone viral, making Tesla the number-one search term on the X-rated website on Thursday night. The video was inundated with comments from online onanists. PornHub user RadDad76 wrote in this delicately put, highly thumbed-up post: “What a f*****g day and age we live in where we can watch a man **** some **** in a car that drives itself. Brings a tear to my eye.”
Here's Taylor breaking the good news to her followers on Twitter – and be aware her Twitter feed is filled with over-18s-only NSFW-grade material:
Although the idea of copulating in a self-driving car speeding down a highway may seem amusing, it’s not for the fainthearted, Jackson warned.
“I have experienced Autopilot a lot so I did feel safe," she told us. "Most of the highway we were on was straight. We did have one scare where I hit the steering wheel and knocked it out of Autopilot mode. I wouldn't recommend it since it is dangerous.”
The Autopilot function helps drivers automatically steer, accelerate, and brake. But “current autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous,” Tesla warned in its vehicle documentation.
We have asked Tesla for comment. We're not holding our breath for a response. ® | {

Agrippa's Occult Philosophy: Natural Magic
Written by a legendary scholar of Renaissance esoterica, this is the single most important text in the history of Western occultism, Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) combined classical Neoplatonic and Hermetic philosophy with elements of the Jewish Kabbalah and Christianity to form a systematic exposition of occult knowledge. Agrippa's view of divine order was subsequently eclipsed by the materialism and atheism of the Enlightenment, but 500 years later, his influential work endures as a cornerstone of mystic literature.In serious, educated, and accessible terms, Agrippa defines occultism and magic as a natural means of attaining knowledge and power. His explanations of planetary rulerships, enchantments, sorceries, types of divination, and the interpretation of dreams offer an intriguing array of possibilities: improved health, prolonged life, increased wealth, and enhanced foresight. This inexpensive edition of his classic study offers students of the history of ideas and occult traditions an essential reference tool.

He vanished the legs of the giant table as they neared the highway, and then he slapped a coating around the bottom of the remaining platform. But it wasn’t just a normal coating. It was a hovering stabilizer, of sorts.
Hector couldn’t simply have the platform itself hover, because the platform needed to remain stationary so that everyone didn’t slide off of it like a moving walkway. This hadn’t been an issue before, because on the ground, he could have the top of the platform remain still while everything below it grew and pushed onward. In midair, though, there was no longer anything to push against, which was why this new, floating “holster” for the platform was necessary.
And it worked, just as he thought it would. The platform soared over the rushing cars below and up into the night sky.
‘Hector, holy shit!’
It was actually quite difficult, Hector discovered. Even now, with everyone staying still, he was having trouble keeping the encased platform fully stable. That, and every little jostle was worrisome in its own way, threatening each time to destroy his concentration, which he very much needed right now.
The others were talking more loudly now, perhaps even to him, but he still couldn’t make out their words over the wind. And he was busy trying not to panic and drop everyone, anyway.
Why the hell had he thought this was a good idea? There were two non-servants in their group. They would surely die if they fell from this height or at this speed.
‘Hector, we’re going the wrong way now,’ said Garovel.
Agh. Shit.
The wind was becoming a problem. The higher they went, the more intense it got. And it was somehow easier to make the platform ascend than descend. Probably because in the beginning, he’d been most worried about crashing into the ground and killing everyone, so he’d decided to err on the side of upward movement, just in case.
The idea of descending was simply more frightening. That was the problem, Hector realized. It wasn’t that it was actually more difficult to pull off. He was just more afraid to do it.
But now he didn’t have a choice. They’d have to go back down eventually. And at this height, going back down a little was no big deal, right?
Goddammit. This whole thing was way more nerve-wracking than he thought it would be. He had to get a hold of himself. They were flying. Under their own power.
He tried to ease up. He had to weaken the force that he’d applied in order to counter gravity.
It worked. They began to lose altitude. But not without more turbulence. Considerably more. He heard a feminine shriek.
Sorry, Elise.
He stabilized his work and course-corrected.
Yeah. This was a better altitude. Still maybe a little too high, but the wind wasn’t so crazy, at least.
He opened his eyes. When had he even closed them? He’d been relying on the Scarf completely, he realized. Thankfully, he’d made sure to keep it wrapped snugly around his neck after removing his armor earlier.
Everyone was staring at him.
Not knowing what to do, he tried to pretend like he didn’t notice.
It didn’t work.
Diego started walking over to him, though he was obviously being slow and deliberate about it this time, which Hector appreciated. It was much easier to account for the balance changes. | {

Morristown (town), New York
Morristown is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. The population was 1,974 at the 2010 census. The town is named after Gouverneur Morris, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence and landowner in New York.
The Town of Morristown is on the northwestern part of the county and contains a village also named Morristown. The village and town are northwest of Gouverneur.
History
The town, part of Macomb's Purchase, was first settled permanently around 1808 on the site of the present Morristown village.
One of the first battles in the War of 1812 was a naval battle in the St. Lawrence River between two warships.
The town was established in 1821 from part of the Town of Oswegatchie, where it was known as "Haque.". Morristown was reduced twice to make new towns: Hammond (1827) and Macomb (1841).
Due to the lack of waterpower, a windmill was erected in 1825.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 59.4 square miles (153.9 km²), of which, 45.9 square miles (118.8 km²) of it is land and 13.6 square miles (35.1 km²) of it (22.83%) is water.
The north town line of Morristown is the international border with Ontario, Canada, defined by the Saint Lawrence River. The town is dominated by two major bodies of water: the St. Lawrence River and Black Lake, which defines the south town line.
New York State Route 37 is an east-west highway. New York State Route 12, another east-west route, is more northerly and follows the St. Lawrence River. New York State Route 58 is a north-south route, which intersects NY-37 at Morristown village.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,050 people, 816 households, and 581 families residing in the town. The population density was 44.7 people per square mile (17.3/km²). There were 1,535 housing units at an average density of 33.5 per square mile (12.9/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.56% White, 0.49% Black or African American, 0.98% Native American, 0.10% Asian, 0.20% from other races, and 0.68% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.02% of the population.
There were 816 households out of which 29.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 56.4% were married couples living together, 10.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.7% were non-families. 23.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.50 and the average family size was 2.90.
In the town, the population was spread out with 25.0% under the age of 18, 6.0% from 18 to 24, 26.7% from 25 to 44, 28.3% from 45 to 64, and 13.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 40 years. For every 100 females, there were 99.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.3 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $33,458, and the median income for a family was $36,591. Males had a median income of $30,474 versus $20,741 for females. The per capita income for the town was $17,133. About 11.5% of families and 16.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 26.7% of those under age 18 and 5.9% of those age 65 or over.

De acordo com dados do último Atlas da Violência, 4.645 mulheres foram assassinadas em todo o Brasil no ano de 2016. Esse número representa uma taxa de 4,5 homicídios para cada cem mil brasileiras. Em Juiz de Fora, dez mulheres foram assassinadas no ano 2018, como mostrou reportagem da Tribuna no último domingo (13). A arma de fogo aparece como o principal meio utilizado na prática criminal. Neste contexto, a delegada de Mulheres, Ione Barbosa, teme que este número seja ainda maior com a facilitação da posse de armas, assinada nesta terça-feira (15), pelo presidente Jair Bolsonaro.
Facilitar a aquisição de armas poderá, de certa forma, contribuir para mais casos de mortes de mulheres. “O feminicídio e a violência contra a mulher são crimes que ocorrem na intimidade. É dentro do lar que temos grande parte dos registros e, é o local mais apropriado para este tipo de crime. Tenho muito receio. Não que seja de tudo ruim. Eu, como policial, acredito que para outras modalidades criminosas, como um furto, por exemplo, ela possa surtir efeito. O sujeito irá pensar duas vezes antes de roubar uma propriedade sabendo que naquele lugar poderá ter uma arma”, disse a delegada. No contexto da violência doméstica, a liberação da posse de armas pode ter efeitos trágicos para todas as mulheres da sociedade. “Se um homem já tem histórico de agressão à sua companheira, havendo arma de fogo dentro da residência no momento mais grave de explosão, quem vai utilizar essa arma é o agressor. O acesso fácil à arma irá aumentar o risco de morte nas casas de diversas mulheres que se encontram em situação de violência doméstica, ainda que o agressor não tenha histórico violento. Muitos casos acontecem no calor do momento”, lembra Ione, acrescentando que o acesso à arma de fogo é um indicador de risco de letalidade.
Apesar de um dos argumentos utilizados para a flexibilização da posse de armas de fogo ser que as mulheres usariam o armamento para sua defesa, a delegada ressalta que o país “é extremamente machista” e acredita que a maioria das requerentes da posse da arma de fogo será composta por homens. “Eles já têm uma relação de poder muito grande com as mulheres. Se ele tiver uma arma ao seu alcance, ele vai usar. A maioria das mulheres vítimas desse crime é assassinada por seus parceiros, e a maior parte deles acontece dentro de casa. Já recebi muitos casos em que o agressor era policial ou ainda de vítimas em que seus maridos possuíam armas. No geral, eles diziam que a arma estava ali e, qualquer coisa, mataria aquela mulher. Ou seja, elas eram ameaçadas e coagidas o tempo todo, e seus parceiros podiam realmente efetivar tais promessas. Por isso, tenho medo de dar esse poder à população”.

Análises rigorosas
Diante disso, Ione Barbosa lembra que, com um agressor armado, o número de mulheres que busca a delegacia para denunciar pode diminuir drasticamente. “Sabendo que o companheiro tem uma arma dentro de casa, como essa mulher terá coragem de denunciá-lo? Ela teme pela sua vida e não quer ser morta”. Sem apresentar números, a delegada pontua que, em boa parte dos episódios em que são cumpridos mandados de busca e apreensão, muitas armas de fogo são encontradas nas residências dos agressores. “O Estado fomentar essa posse pode ser bastante perigoso. Acredito que, para dar certo, deve haver análises rigorosas e, se possível, até acionar a mulher deste homem a fim de fazer alguns questionamentos para assim determinar se ele deve ou não possuir um armamento deste tipo em casa”, acredita.
A delegada lembra também que a violência contra mulher não começa com as agressões físicas, mas que é um ciclo, que se inicia no controle psicológico, passando por ciúmes obsessivos que vêm disfarçados de cuidado e, por fim, a violência física resultando em mortes. | {

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Thuja occidentalis and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘King of Brabant’. ‘King of Brabant’ represents a new cultivar of northern white cedar, an evergreen tree grown for landscape use and particularly useful for hedging.
The inventor discovered ‘King of Brabant’ as a naturally occurring branch mutation of ‘Brabant’ (not patented) that was growing in a field at his nursery in summer of 2008 in Edewecht, Germany.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor using stem cuttings in Edewecht, Germany in January of 2010. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations. | {

Also, it would be great if i could recommend a prime lens kit for people who ask me which camera to get. As an experience I recommend primes for a fun compact mft, but usually that means getting the prime separately, which becomes a big investment for someone who is casually interested. Even better would be a "choose your own kit lens" when buying a new body.
I ordered a chicken sandwich which had to be the worst chicken sandwich i ever had, would of killed me if would of finished it. Im never eating burger again!! The food has completely went to crap in the last 5 10 years!!! | {

Correlation of deglutition in subacute ischemic stroke patients with peripheral blood adaptive immunity: Essential amino acid improvement.
We aimed to document in stroke patients peripheral blood immune cell profiles, their relations with neuro-functional tests, and any possible influence of supplemented essential amino acids (EAAs) may have on both the immune system and the relationship of the latter with neuro-function.Forty-two dysphagic stroke patients (27 men; 71±9 years) underwent bio-humoral measurements, neuro-functional tests, including Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS), and were randomized to receive EAAs 8 g/d (EAA group) or isocaloric maltodextrin (placebo group).At discharge all measurements were repeated 38±1 days after randomization.At admission, total white cell (TWC), neutrophil (N), and lymphocyte (Lymph) counts were normal and the N/Lymph ratio was higher than normal values (<3.0). At discharge, both TWC and N decreased while Lymph increased significantly. As a result, the N/Lymph ratio significantly decreased (P <0.001) returning to normal levels. Absolute Lymph counts and Lymph % TWC correlated positively with DOSS (r = +0.235, P = 0.04 and r = +0.224, P = 0.05, respectively), negatively with C-reactive protein natural logarithm (ln CRP) (P = 0.02 and P = 0.0001, respectively), which is an inflammation marker. N correlated positively with ln CRP (P = 0.001) and had a slight negative association with FIM (P = 0.07). The N/Lymph ratio was inversely related to FIM (r = -0.262, P = 0.02) and DOSS (r = -0.279, P = 0.01). Finally, FIM correlated with DOSS (r = +0.35, P = 0.05).For the regression analysis, the overtime changes of Lymph % TWC correlated significantly with DOSS (P = 0.01). There was a positive correlation between Lymph % TWC and DOSS for the entire stroke population (P = 0.015). While this correlation was not important for the placebo group (P = 0.27), it was significant in the EAA subgroup (P = 0.018).In the sub-acute stroke stage, there may be slight alterations of peripheral blood immune cells. Lymph cells are associated with improved neuro-function tests with evidence that this association is enhanced by supplementing EAAs. | {

Leo Broukhis (leob _at_ mailcom -dot- com) reported that this entry still has a bug that results in an infinite loop while checking 10000000001 instead of finding the factor 101. Albert van der Horst did send him an unobfuscated (but somewhat limited since it doesn't check the number for factors 2, 3, 5, 7) version of his program. Leo used the unobfuscated version, with the previously mentioned limitation to fix the 10000000001 bug which may be found in albert.fix.c. For more details see Leo's EMail message.

Around the same time, were were notified by Nathan Sidwell (who lives outside the US) that his source available on the Web as well. The source at that site also no longer exists. Update: We were told that Google has a comp.lang.c archive with a copy of the source ported by Nathan Sidwell.

The "doesn't need Xlib or include files" part resulted in significant bit rot of this entry. Prof. David Applegate took his time to fix it to search for proper socket type, and to allow the entry to run on displays with 16-bit color. The fix is applied to the original entry; merging it with the presented code is left as an exercise for the reader. As before, you need to turn off access control of the X11 server, and to use a window manager that does not obscure the root window.

Book Review: "100 Things Lakers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die"
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: True fans kill for these types of tidbits. I'm still figuring out how the Lakers were almost called the Vikings.Read More
Blake Griffin is concerned with the way Donald Sterling manages the Clippers and is monitoring the situation, according to sources.
Sterling recently testified in Elgin Baylor's lawsuit against the Clippers for wrongful termination and the owner also had a mishap related to an advertisement for Black History Month that was actually scheduled for March and included Griffin's picture.
HoopsVibe’s Very Quick Call: Good for Blake Griffin. He has recognized the obvious: the Los Angeles Clippers’ greatest weakness is owner Donald Sterling.
After all, The Don has been embroiled in sexual harassment and discrimination suits, refuses to honour contracts of coaches and executives that he fires, and is more concerned with winning making money than winning.
Simply put, he’s a scumbag. And great teams typically have great owners. Not scumbags.
For instance, the San Antonio Spurs have a partnership of first-class businessman. The Boston Celtics owner is all class. And Jerry Buss, despite his idiosyncrasies and poor decisions, is perfect for the glitz and glamour of the Los Angeles Lakers.
So Griffin is right to try to use his skill and star power to initiate change at the top. Championship teams have stability and sanity at the top.
They don’t have an owner who is so cheap he won’t pay his assistant coach’s cancer bills when the team’s medical provider refuses to do so.
The Don must reform his ways if he wants to sign the NBA’s brightest young star to a multi-year extension. Even better, perhaps he has to finally sell the Clippers if his team wants to re-sign Griffin.
And this, not the highlight reel dunks or headlines, would be Griffin’s greatest accomplishment.
"There has been no direct contact between Bulls officials and Jackson, the sources told Broussard, but people close to both parties have spoken and come away with the belief that Jackson would be open to a potential reunion in Chicago next season.
Gar Forman, the Bulls' general manager, refused to comment on the club's coaching search when reached Monday night by telephone.
The Bulls are not alone in registering interest in a coaching reunion with Jackson. NBA coaching sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein on Tuesday that the New Jersey Nets have made similar back-channel inquiries about their chances of luring Jackson away from the Los Angeles Lakers at season's end."
These are the reasons Coach Phil Jackson could leave the Los Angeles Lakers when his contract expires at season's end. Jerry Buss, the team's owner, wants the Hall of Fame sideline boss to reportedly take a $5.0 million salary reduction next season.
Jackson is earning $12.5 million for 2009-10, the last year on his contract. Buss hopes he'll do the exact same job in 2010-11 for $7.5 million.
There's also a power struggle going on. Buss is aging. He named his son, Jim, as successor -even though his daughter, Jeanie, enjoyed great success in the team's marketing department. Rumor has it Jeanie was passed over for the Lakers' top job because her long-term partner is Jackson.
Jackson, health permitting, has repeatedly said he wants to continue coaching the purple-and-gold. He's settled out west; his team will contend for years.
Still, with a huge pay cheque available and the chance to partner with a top free agent, Jackson could conceivably go back on his word.
Will Jackson leave the Lakers? Get at us in the comment box below with thoughts.
Phil Jackson says he hopes to return as the Los Angeles Lakers coach next season and can't envision coaching anywhere else next year.
Maybe. Probably. Like 90 percent.
"I'd say it's 90 percent that if I'm coaching it'll be here," Jackson cautiously mused before the Lakers game against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.
Jackson's contract expires at the end of this season. The uncertainty over whether he'll sign an extension escalated last week when team vice president and Jackson's long-term girlfriend Jeanie Buss said that she thinks Jackson, 64, will coach next season, but wasn't sure that it would be with the Lakers. She said her father, Lakers owner Jerry Buss, doesn't want to continue paying Jackson at his current $12 million a season rate. | {

I need some Led in my pencil
Boy, did I ever play the mortal shit out of this one on my parents’ Telefunken, which until the Sixties had been accustomed to a steady diet of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and the like.
Well, Ziggy Stardust may have left the building, but Led Zeppelin beat him to the door. The band broke up in December 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham, but it was on this day in 1969 that they released their first album.
33 Responses to “I need some Led in my pencil”
Good morning!
1969 was an interesting year for me. I got drafted, and somehow that got me reading and really listening to music, a really good thing. Zep was there, but Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Chicago pulled me in their direction. Then while overseas, a buddy on the firebase used to go up on the roof and blow the blues on his key of G Hohner Marine Band harp. That got me on the blues as well. Zep never had a chance. Time to give them another try.
I was listening to a lot of stuff in the late Sixties and early Seventies. I loved my parents’ music (Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, et al.), but I was also getting into some serious noise, like Led Zep, Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, and whatnot.
Also, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and of course the Beatles and Stones (my Miller and Dorsey, I guess). The Dave Clark 5, Zombies, Animals, and Byrds, too.
But yeah, Chicago was in there. “Color My World” was great for slow dancing, and it had a nice flute bit, too, which I just tried to play and made a horrible mess of; the mind remembers, but the fingers not so much.
Then there was this huge detour into country-hippie music — Allman Brothers, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and all the various sons of The Byrds, like Poco, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Flying Burrito Brothers, Souther-Hillman-Furay, The Eagles, and so on.
I feel sorry for the young people of today with their stupid fucking tuneless horseshit; that may be a generational judgment but I seriously doubt it. (Name the author who wrote that sentence, win a prize).
I would like to make a flyer for an upcoming rally at the Roundhouse. The BCNM has just agreed to give a thumbs up to the bicycle portion of this gig—see link. Can I use something of yours that would be appropriate out of your substantial body of bicycle-political work?
Zeppelin has been my answer when a particularly saccharine earworm gets into my head. It once took a steady 2hours to get “Dancing Queen” gone.
Funny Zep story. I had a CD playing in the car, I think it was Zep II, when my daughter was about 9 years old. She was listening intently for a while then turned to me and asked, “Is this that Ed Zeppelin guy?” Ever since we tease her about Ed. (And yes she later became a fan. I did my job well)
Rent or buy the documentary “it Might Get Loud” (2009). Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White each tell their story and then get together and share their guitar passion and music.It just came to my attention last week on my cable VOD. It’s very engrossing. I’ve also seen “Twenty Feet from Stardom”, that tells the story of several backup singers, including Merry Clayton and Darlene Love. Love describes how Spector destroyed her solo career.
Got to confess: I’m not a Jack White fan. I’m gonna throw my McGuane flag on him. Every time I see the sonofabitch I think it’s Johnny Depp pretending to be a musician, the way some folks thought Leon Redbone was actually Andy Kaufman, or Don Novello.
And for some reason I’ve never been able to warm up to U2, either. I watched some concert film of theirs in a hotel last trip to Bibleburg and it damn rendered me homicidal. But then it had been a long day and my back hurt.
One of my favorite lines in “The Commitments” is when Da Rabbitte takes note of son Jimmy’s band forming up and quips, “U2 mus’ be shittin’ themselves.”
Me either on Jack White. Irritating guy. The acoustic set showed me who was still on top of his game, Page for my money. I made the comment about equipment and “The Edge” for a reason. What is it with that name anyway? He is a great guitar player, but I think he is distracted by the tech. He must have had 25 effect pedals in front of him.
Dunno whether it’s “stupid fucking tuneless horseshit” or just “same shit, different day”. When I watch SNL these days and can stand not to hit the MUTE button on the musical presentation I seem to mutter to myself something like “Geez, so-and-so did that years ago…nothing new there. How much do they get paid to do that?”
But a LOT of these folks simply can’t SING so they just blather on while some folks behind ’em torture musical instruments.
When I was in grade school back in the early sixties, a bunch of us set up garbage can tops, toy guitars, and other makeshift instruments in a neighbor’s garage and sang nonsense lyrics, thinking ourselves the next Beatles. Back then, it was “pipe down out there”. Nowdays, we would be millionaires. Speaking of the neighbor’s garage….funny one should think of this.
Judy didn’t give you Marv’s Ovation did she? That beautiful Custom Balladeer? Besides the obvious sentimental value, Ovations are great guitars, especially if you live where the humidity goes up and down like a yo-yo. A friend with a high end Martin tells me his nightmare is waking up to the sound of a loud crack. Composites do have their place.
Good morning (very early) Hurben. I had motorcycles from age 15 to 35, that last year being 1984. Mostly Yamaha, with a few from Harley, Triumph, Ossa, and Bultaco. The burning desire for two wheels with a motor was dead and cold until a few years ago when Patrick started lighting fires with those Vespa matches. Then Yamaha brought this out which tempted me. I resisted. Our local dealer still has a new one, but I have enough hobbies.http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/models/sr400
My first bike out of the Army was a 1972 DT-250. Later that year I got a Ossa Plonker trials bike. That was fun. But Yamahas were always my favorites. My last bike was a 1983 Vision will full fairing. Bike was ahead of its time. Much faster and easier to ride fast than the 550 Seca that I traded in for it. No torque reaction at all from the shaft drive. But the engine had plenty of torque for a 550!
My full motorcycle history is:
1974
Yamaha HT1B 90cc – straight out of the military & back to school.
Yamaha DT400B – my first job as a Computer operator
Suzuki GT550B – my first road bike, seized the motor..
Yamaha XS750B – loved this bike
Yamaha SR500C – great bike once you mastered the art of kick starting it.
Yamaha IT425 – serious off road bike, scared me, sold it to pay for my wedding, I should have kept the bike.
Yamaha XV1000RH- fantastic bike, took me all over South Africa & then Later, all over New Zealand
Suzuki PE250 – Great bike but told me that my back could no longer cope with motocross.
From all of your comments I suppose many might be surprised by the fact that a 15 yr old girl wrote the songs for the band she named Led Zeppelin. The girl was from Alabama…so…she used a lot of songs from artist that somehow had a connection to Alabama…such as Alabama native Sam Phillips of Sun Records artists Howlin’ Wolf and Jerry Lee Lewis. Ever heard of the song “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On”? Or, how about “Big Legged Woman”? The lyrics from The Lemon Song were actually lyrics from blues legend Robert Johnson’s song “Traveling Riverside Blues”. The “Kashmir” song was inspired by the title of Berkley Mather’s novel “The Pass Beyond Kashmir”…though his first novel “The Achilles Affair” did not do well…it did inspire the song “Achilles Last Stand”. I was that girl in 1983…and named the band. | {

Indian Motorcycle teased its highly anticipated Indian reboot in Daytona this week, with a reveal of the Thunder Stroke 111 engine that will power the new bike, due out later this year. INDIAN MOTORCYCLE
New for Harley-Davidson's 110th anniversary year, the 2013 Breakout is powered with a black-and-chrome 103-cubic-inch V-twin and wheels framed with chopped fenders. HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Fisker Automotive, in Anaheim, announced the resignation of its namesake and executive chairman, Henrik Fisker. The company, which brought the $100,000+ Karma extended-range luxury sedan to market in 2011, ceased production of the car last year and has also postponed production of its second model, the Atlantic. In a media statement released Wednesday, the company said Fisker's departure is "not expected to impact the company's ... continued progress as a pioneer of low-emission hybrid electric powertrain technology."
The economic impact of vehicle sales in Orange County reached $9 billion last year – a 15% increase from 2011, according to the Orange County Auto Dealers Assn.'s Economic Impact Report released Wednesday. New vehicle sales totaled 173,342, used vehicles 76,700. OC's most popular new vehicle last year was a tie between The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, which each took 4% of the pie, according to Edmunds.com. Combined, all four models of the Prius (including the C, V and Plug-in) claimed a 4.8% share in 2012.
Consumer Reports released its list of best used cars this week. The used vehicles it recommends in the $15,000-$20,000 range include the 2010-2011 Toyota Prius and 2011-2012 Hyundai Elantra in the small-car category, the 2011-2012 Toyota Camry (4 cylinder) and 2006-2007 Infiniti M sedans and the 2007-2008 Honda Pilot and 2009 Mazda CX-9 SUVs.
Harley-Davidson announced a new 2013 bike to help celebrate its 110th anniversary year. With a chromed-and-blacked, 103-cubic-inch V-twin and wheels framed with chopped fenders, the Breakout will be available at Harley-Davidson dealers starting today .
Indian Motorcycle continued the slow tease of its highly anticipated Indian reboot. In Daytona last weekend, the Polaris-owned company showed the new Thunder Stroke 111 engine that will power the all-new 2014 Indian expected at dealers by year's end.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A German court has ordered Google to block search results in Germany linking to photos of a sex party involving former Formula One boss Max Mosley.
The court said on Friday that although Google had not taken the pictures it was responsible as a distributor of the images.
"The court is of the opinion that the banned pictures of the plaintiff severely violate his private sphere, as they show him active in sexual practices," the court said.
The ruling comes more than two months after a French court ordered Google to find a way to remove recurring links to images of Mosley, who was photographed in 2008 at an orgy with prostitutes.
The dispute in the Hamburg court relates to photographs of Mosley published by the defunct British tabloid News of the World that were accompanied by an article suggesting he had organized a "sick Nazi orgy".
Mosley has acknowledged that he engaged in sado-masochistic activity with the five women and paid them 2,500 sterling ($4,000), but denied the orgy was Nazi-themed.
The decision is another setback for Google as it tries to defend a global stance that the search engine is merely a platform that delivers links to content and it should not be responsible for policing them.
Although Google can delete images on its website, it cannot prevent others reposting them, resulting in a constant game of catch-up.
Google said on Friday it would appeal the ruling.
"It could mean that Internet providers are required to monitor even the smallest components of content they transmit or store for their users. We believe this is contrary to European law," a Google spokesman said.
In a blog post published in September, Google said it had already removed "hundreds of pages for Mr. Mosley" as part of a process that helps people delete specific pages from Google's search results after they have been shown to violate the law.

Clement Meadmore (American, born Australia, 1929–2005)
Around and About, 1971
Clement Meadmore’s repeated and characteristic use of geometric but fluid shapes relects his training as an aeronautical engineer.
Like many of Meadmore’s mature sculptures, Around and About consists of two basic geometric forms, square and a quarter circle, extended into space. The black, matte finish of the surfaces unifies the overall effect.
(Photo: Tad Merrick)
Around and About resolves the tensions between closed form and its extension into space, and achieves stability and balance while implying motion. Meadmore combined the geometric forms of contemporary Minimalist art with the expressive potential of artistic gesture derived from earlier Abstract Expressionism. | {

Hilarity
Funny ladies sarcastically live tweeting during SyFy airings of Defiance. Even though Defiance is not back on until June 2014, it is still fun to peruse! Also, they’re awesome because they actually reply to you! 🙂 I have no idea if they are secretly cast, crew, writers, or funny fans. Nonetheless, it is worth a view!
… I developed an unhealthy obsession with braids, red leather and torture.ALSO, CARA TOTALLY HELPED RICHARD AND SOME SHIT AND I GUESS I SHOULD MENTION
IT BECAUSE IT’S ~SLIGHTLY IMPORTANT TO WHAT HAPPENS IN S2.
Or
Anyway, Richard and Kahlan find Cara Too-Awesome-For-A-Last-Name, and I totally went “boo, triangle, blergh!” but
I TAKE IT ALL BACK. IT’S THE BEST OT3 EVER.
Kahlan tries to confess Cara about eight thousand times, and it’s awesome.
Richard cockblocks Kahlan’s confession every time, because he ~trusts Cara. | {

As a touch panel device, a capacitance type touch panel device in which a touch panel on which a switch screen is displayed on the front, and a touch sensor provided with a plurality of electrode corresponding to the switch are disposed to overlap each other is known. When an operator abuts a finger against the switch screen, since the capacitance of the electrode that is disposed at the contact portion changes, the change in capacitance is detected by a control means.
In such a touch panel device, the plurality of electrodes are disposed so as to be arranged on a straight line, a curved line, or a circumference enabling slide input to be performed by successive finger contact with the electrodes such that, for example, a level of a sound volume or an air volume of a device can be changed. As a shape of such electrodes, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 56-001438 (Patent Literature 1) describes a double chevron electrode shape that has two chevron-shaped portions, which are called a finger portion, in a single electrode. Furthermore, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2011-204136 (Patent Literature 2) describes a single chevron electrode shape that has a single chevron-shape in a single electrode. | {

Q:
Julia: Even-number datatype for functions
I have about 50 functions which should consume only even positive numbers. Right now I am checking each time with an "if" whether the number put in is zero or not:
function grof(x::Int)
if (x % 2) == 0
println("good")
else
throw("x is not an even number!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid programmer!")
end
end
Ideally, I would like to have a datatype which produces this automatically, i.e.
function grof(x::EvenInt)
println("good")
end
However, I am not able to produce this datatype by my own since I am unable to understand the documentary. Thanks for your help!
Best, v.

I don't think creating a type is warranted in such a situation: I would simply @assert that the condition is verified at the beginning of the function(s). (Funnily enough, checking the whether a number is even is the example that was chosen in the documentation to illustrate the effect of @assert)
For example:
julia> function grof(x::Int)
@assert iseven(x) "Stupid programmer!"
println("good")
end
grof (generic function with 1 method)
julia> grof(2)
good
julia> grof(3)
ERROR: AssertionError: Stupid programmer!
Stacktrace:
[1] grof(::Int64) at ./REPL[5]:2
[2] top-level scope at REPL[7]:1
EDIT: If you really want to create a type enforcing such a constraint, it is possible. The way to do this would be to
create a type (possibly subtyping one of the Number abstract types; maybe Signed)
define an inner constructor ensuring that such a type cannot hold an odd value
A very simple example to build upon would be along the lines of:
# A wrapper around an even integer value
struct EvenInt
val :: Int
# inner constructor
function EvenInt(val)
@assert iseven(val)
new(val)
end
end
# Accessor to the value of an EvenInt
val(x::EvenInt) = x.val
# A method working only on even numbers
grof(x::EvenInt) = println("good: $(val(x)) is even")
You'd use this like so:
julia> x = EvenInt(42)
EvenInt(42)
julia> grof(x)
good: 42 is even
julia> y = EvenInt(1)
ERROR: AssertionError: iseven(val)
Stacktrace:
[1] EvenInt(::Int64) at ./REPL[1]:5
[2] top-level scope at REPL[6]:1
but note that you can't do anything on EvenInts yet: you need to either unwrap them (using val() in this case), or define operations on them (a task which can be vastly simplified if you make EvenInt a subtype of one of the abstract number types and follow the relevant interface).
A:
All integers multiplied by two are even, so redefine your function to take half the number it currently takes.
function grof2(halfx::Int)
x=2*halfx
println("good")

Black Night
"Black Night" is a song by British hard rock band Deep Purple, first released as a single in June 1970 and later included on the 25th Anniversary version of their 1970 album, In Rock. The song became a hit following its release, peaking at No. 2 on UK charts, and to this day remains Deep Purple's highest charting UK single. It topped the charts in Switzerland, and is one of only two singles from the band to chart in Ireland, peaking at No. 4, thus making it the group's only Irish Top 10 hit. It was also the second non-album single penned by the band and also reached number 6 in South Africa.
Writing process and recording
Once In Rock had been completed, EMI asked for a suitable single to be recorded to help promote the album. Though Roger Glover states that Ricky Nelson's 1962 hard rocking arrangement of the George Gershwin song "Summertime" was the basis for the Mk II Deep Purple single "Black Night", it is also similar to Blues Magoos's 1966 psychedelic hit song "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet". In the BBC documentary Heavy Metal Britannia, keyboardist Jon Lord supports Glover's statement about the song's origin, stating "Black Night was nicked from the bass line in Ricky Nelson's Summertime" and then proceeds to play the bassline riff on his grand piano.
Live performances
"Black Night" made its way into the setlist soon after release, generally as the first encore. The song was not played in full after Ian Gillan and Roger Glover left the band in 1973, but snippets were often played by Ritchie Blackmore as part of his improvisations. On the reformation of Deep Purple in 1984 "Black Night" returned as part of the main set list. There are many versions of the song available on Deep Purple live albums.
Personnel
Ian Gillan – vocals
Ritchie Blackmore – guitar
Roger Glover – bass
Jon Lord – organ
Ian Paice – drums
Covers
In 1982, Los Angeles female-fronted metal band Hellion recorded this song as the B-side of their "Driving Hard" single, which was released on Mystic Records in early 1983.
In 1982, post-punk group The Fall took to performing a medley integrating the song into their own composition "Cash 'n' Carry"; a recording of this was belatedly issued in 2002 on a reissue of Fall in a Hole.
Metallica played the intro during the encore of their shows in 1989.
Bruce Dickinson - B side of single: "Dive, Dive, Dive", recorded live in 1990. He and his band would perform it live during the Tattooed Millionaire tour.
The main riff of the song is used to end Australian alternative rock band TISM's song "Get Thee in My Behind, Satan", from their 1990 album Hot Dogma.
In 1991, Vic Reeves covered the song on I Will Cure You album.
Bad Manners - ska version on their 1997 album Heavy Petting.
CJ Crew also covered this song for the Dancemania compilation series, but has a heavier sound to it.
A version also appears on 2005 Live DVD, Castles and Dreams by Blackmore's Night.
Pat Travers has recorded a version on his album P.T. Power Trio 2 in 2006.
The song is also recorded by the American death metal band Deicide on their 2006 album, The Stench of Redemption, though with rewritten lyrics.
In 2007, Finnish power metal band Twilight Guardians covered the song for their fourth and last album, Ghost Reborn, as a Japanese bonus track.
In addition, the song is played at the beginning of the French Movie Les Lyonnais (Which is known in English as A Gang Story ).

911 operator: 'I don't give a sh*t what happens to you'

A Nashville woman who waited hours for someone to respond to her call to 911 emergency services didn't hear the worst part of the call.
After Sheila Jones hung up the phone, a local news reporter found that one 911 operator said, "I really just don't give a shit what happens to you."
"I think I'm more hurt than I am mad that my life didn't mean a damn thing to them," said Jones, after hearing the tape played back to her for the first time. Jones had called for help after an ex-boyfriend assaulted and threatened her.
911 officials told Nashville's NewsChannel 5 that the staffer who took the call "was a trainee who was [later] fired ... not for the comment, but for flunking his final exam."
This video is from NewsChannel 5, broadcast May 12, 2008.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a repeated inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection for sexual intercourse. It is estimated that about 30 million men in the United States and 150 million men worldwide experience chronic erectile dysfunction. Additionally, studies have shown that about half of the men between the ages of 40 and 70 have erectile dysfunction to some degree. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction is illustrated by the fact that Viagra, an ED drug manufactured by Pfizer, has been prescribed to more than 35 million men worldwide as of 2011.
The human penis consists of three erectile bodies: two corpora cavernosa chambers and one corpus spongiosum chamber. Together these three chambers make up the expandable erectile tissues along the length of the penis which fill with blood during penile erection. The two corpora cavernosa lie along the penis shaft, from the pubic bones to the head of the penis, where they join. These formations are made of a sponge-like tissue containing irregular blood-filled spaces lined by endothelium and separated by trabeculae of smooth muscle fibers with an extracellular matrix of which the main components are collagens, elastic fibers, proteoglycans/glycoseaminoglycans, in addition to numerous unmyelinated and preterminal autonomic nerves.
The importance of corporal cavernosal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in potency is well-established. Normal smooth muscle content and function are necessary for the initiation and maintenance of erection. Additionally, elastin and collagen fibers are also important penile constituents. Collagen is a key structural protein in tissues subjecting to stretching forces. Collagen provides structural integrity that allows the cavernosum to withstand pressure increase during erection. Some researchers argue that without this rigid collagen network, the penis would maintain a flaccid form.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors, including physical, psychological, neurological, vascular and endocrinal issues. Reduced blood flow to the penis and nerve damage are the most common causes of erectile dysfunction. Underlying causes include, but are not limited to, vascular disease, diabetes, drugs, hormone imbalance, neurological causes, pelvic trauma in surgery, Peyronie's Disease and venous leak.
Currently, the most common method for treating erectile dysfunction is through oral inhibitors of phosphodiesterase V (PDE-5), including the medications: Sildenafil (Viagra®), Vardenafil (Lavetra®) and Tadalafil (Cialis®). However, numerous patients remain unresponsive to treatment, do not tolerate the adverse effects associated with the treatment, or are ineligible for treatment. Thus, there remains a need for a safe and effective treatment of erectile dysfunction which can be used without the side effects associated with the use of PDE-5 inhibitors. | {

Structural requirements for proinflammatory activity of porin P2 Loop 7 from Haemophilus influenzae.
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is one of the leading causes of invasive bacterial infection in young children, characterized by inflammation mainly mediated by cytokines and chemokines. One of the most abundant components of the Hib outer membrane is the P2 porin, which has been shown to induce the release of several inflammatory cytokines. Synthetic peptides corresponding to loops L5, L6, and L7 activate JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, L7 being the most active peptide. Therefore, sequence-activity relationships and key residues were identified by elongating sequence to different extents, designing cyclic peptides, and performing an alanine scan of L7. The ability of mutant peptides to induce activation of signal transduction pathways and release of TNF-alpha and IL-6 has been determined, and, in conjunction with CD spectra, bioinformatics analysis, and molecular dynamics data, showed that 6 out of 8 amino acids contribute significantly to the overall activity. Molecular dynamics showed that L7 modifications increased loop rigidity and helicity after Gly6 mutation, thus, providing a possible structural explanation for observed loss of bioactivity. This work provides insights into essential molecular details of P2 that may impact on the pathogenesis of Hib infections where interruption of the signaling cascade could represent an attractive therapeutic strategy. | {

This invention relates generally to a miniature motor, and more particularly to a miniature motor which satisfies strict tolerances on squareness between the shaft and the motor mounting surface, as required for compact-disc drive motors, by forming a raised portion around motor mounting holes on the closed end face of the motor case, and grinding, polishing the raised portion. | {

10 Downing Street has ordered the Royal Navy to kill any f*cking Frenchman who so much as looks at a British fish.
The order has been issued from the executive to coincide with the UK’s decision to withdraw from all and every international agreement agreed since WW2 to stop countries killing each other over matters that were once judged not serious enough to keep killing each other over.
Frenchmen in particular have been warned to be exceptionally respectful of British fish from today. To avert their eyes no matter how tempting the imagined mouthful.
Even looking at the ENGLISH channel with a pair of binoculars from a sand dune in Calais could find a high explosive shell dropped on a Frenchman’s head now that we have, wait for it,
TAKEN BACK CONTROL OF THE SEA!
The Royal Navy is to send its Harrier Jets across the channel to airdrop leaflets along the French coastline today informing the French that,
‘We are prepared to use Trident to defend Whitby Scampi – You have been warned.’
When asked why they were only warning the French about our willingness to use a multi-million pound weapon to protect a few quid of scampi and not the Germans too, the Ministry of Defence replied,
“We have to be sensitive of family relations at the top.”
An aide to the Prime Minister also spoke about why Frenchmen are being targeted in particular.
“Because Brexiters really dislike Frenchmen. It’s hard to overstate how much some bumbling public schoolboy who got bummed all the way through secondary school by other more confident public schoolboys dislikes a Frenchman’s sexual confidence.
Get a man like that into high office and watch out Frenchies!”
Other nationalities to be warned especially are the Irish, both of them.
“The Irish need to watch out too. They keep trying to steal our horses and now they’re stealing our fish. We know they’re thieves. Brexiters know this. Everyone else is too thick to realise it. But we’ve kept our beady eye on them!”
The Royal Navy has been further instructed to prepare for a swollen intake of fresh cheeked recruits to scrub the decks as the Ministry of Defence has been ordered to buy one extra ship to patrol the entire coastline of the United Kingdom.
And in an added show of defiance, a group of UKIP supporters have set up a giant billboard at Dover informing Europe,
BIG BOOMS IF YOU TOUCH ARE SKAMPI! WHERE KEEPING ALL THE SKAMPI FOR ARE SCAMPI FLAVOURED FRYS!
The end. Of everything probably, given enough time. Don’t be sad though. You are in control. | {

Principles of Universal Design for Space and Building Design
Universal Design (UD) is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.
The following seven principles of UD may be applied to evaluate existing designs, guide the design process and educate both designers and consumers about the characteristics of more usable products and environments.
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user.
Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user.
Accommodate variations in hand and grip size.
Provide adequate space for the use of assistive devices or personal assistance.

Inner-skank demands freedom!
I started dating very late for a girl in the current generation and have only had one bf so far.
My bf is an acceptably nice guy but we have many differences, the biggest of all with culture and religion.
I'm thinking of leaving the relationship in search of someone better. Should I?
Signed,I wanna be a ho
Dear Ho in training:
By all means, go find yourself a new boyfriend that's not so "boring". Save this guy that hassle of dealing with your whiny, naggy, phony ass. Let your inner-skank run wild and free!
By doing this, the rest of us men who are searching for a woman who isn't fucked in the head like you will see your behaviour and heed the warning it provides, and several hundred adorable stray cats will find your house a nice warm place to live.
8 comments:
Even though I understand why you want to go us women, I can't help but wonder if anything I have put on websites are a target to you.
Maybe there are no limits. Put one of your problems on this site and let me put you right. I dare you!
It is sooooo easy to tell women "how pathetic their emotions or drama problems are" but I will tell you, it is just as easy to do the same to males. Unfortunately, it could send them to committing suicide. Because more often than not, men only speak out when they are really at the edge otherwise they do their best to keep it to themselves. Sad but true.
So, even though I can be just as hard (a bitch) and tell people 'How it is and how pathetic their lives are', I choose not too. Although a few years ago I did the same as what you are doing but to their faces. Now I think what you do (as I did) is pretty fucked up. | {

"Just like your name, Amatue," I add.
"Yes."
When seated across the table from a living Barbie and stuck for topics, by all means go for collegiate bullshit. "But Amatue seems to be all about the Eastern philosophy of reincarnation," I say. "And the beauty that you embody is very Western. American, even."
Valeria grows pensive, which in her case means rolling her eyes slightly upward without changing anything else about her face. "I wouldn't say so. Everyone wants a slim figure. Everyone gets breasts done. Everyone fixes up their face if it's not ideal, you know? Everyone strives for the golden mean. It's global now."
"But that's a relatively new thing," I reply. "The ideal of beauty used to be different."
"That's because of the race-mixing."
If I had a glass of multi-chutney carrot-juice mix before me, I'd do a bright orange spit take.
"For example, a Russian marries an Armenian," Valeria elaborates helpfully. "They have a kid, a cute girl, but she has her dad's nose. She goes and files it down a little, and it's all good. Ethnicities are mixing now, so there's degeneration, and it didn't used to be like that. Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this. I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type—perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."
I feel like checking my watch. We've gone from nails to eugenics in about two minutes flat.
I realize that just like everyone reading about Human Barbie, I had had a simple narrative prepared in my head: A small-town girl grows up obsessed with dolls, etc. Instead, I get a racist space alien.
Valeria innocently daubs her face with powder. "I have combination skin," she explains. "I get shiny within twenty minutes indoors." In another minute, the last of her dinner goes up the plastic straw.
The future Barbie was born nowhere near Malibu. Valeria hails from Tiraspol, a gloomy city in Europe's poorest country, Moldova. Valeria remembers both her Siberian-born grandfather and her father as very strict and began to rebel at the usual age of 13. Stage one involved dyeing her hair, which is naturally a low-key shade of brown. Valeria went for the goth look first—about the farthest you could get from Barbie. She wore all-black clothes to accentuate her very white skin. Kids at school began to tease her. Look, a witch! At 15, traumatized by the name-calling, she doubled down: bracelets with sharp two-inch spikes, artificial fangs. She was dismissed from a school choir for standing bolt upright when the singers were instructed to sway; in different circumstances, this budding nonconformism could have brought her straight into Pussy Riot.
Instead, she began modeling, small-time stuff, and learned to apply makeup and hair dye in increasingly theatrical ways. Valeria was less interested in attracting men than in repelling them: "A dude would try to talk to me on the street and I'd be like" she switches to a raspy basso" 'Oh, honey, aren't I glad I had that operation.' " Another time, a guy tried grabbing her by the hand and she semi-accidentally cut him with her bracelet spike.
At age 16, Valeria moved to Odessa, the famous Black Sea port in the south of Ukraine. Whatever ideas of beauty and identity she had had before, Odessa would warp further. The city fizzes with sex, but not in the fun way of, say, Barcelona or even Moscow. Sex is an industry here, and sometimes, amid the scuffed nineteenth-century splendor of its seaside boulevards, it feels like the only industry left. Hundreds of "marriage agencies," devoted to finding Western husbands for girls from all over Ukraine, operate here. Their websites, in halting English, promise the customer the kind of femininity the West has supposedly lost: fragile, pliable, submissive. Fully posable. Odessa girls—often beautiful, often model beautiful—don't just dress to impress. They dress to attract the right kind of attention, pre-rebuff the local losers, and thwart ruthless competition all at once. "It has everything to do with the desperate desire to get married," explains Ukrainian feminist Anna Hutsol, the founding member of the radical group Femen. "A woman here is brought up for two things, marriage and motherhood. Valeria is the ultimate demonstration of what a Ukrainian woman is willing to do to herself. I bet she is exactly what men dream about."
Online, in Facebook pictures and on the many Ukrainian sites and message boards devoted to hating on Valeria, you can watch that dream evolve. Arranged by year, the photos tell the story of a transformation all the more thrilling because you know the ending. Here she is on some guy's lap, different-looking nose, flatter chest—but the glassy doll stare and the tilted head are there, in beta, being tested out. It's like a superhero-origin story. And then, the spider-bite moment: going blonde.
Within a month of dyeing her hair platinum, she caught the eye of Dmitry, the son of one of her father's closest friends. Dmitry was a rarity: a wealthy local. A construction mogul, he had erected some of Odessa's largest hotels. After the two got together, Valeria's metamorphosis picked up pace. The breast implants, the only surgery she will cop to, appeared in the photos soon after. The Barbification was complete.
Lukyanova, after going blonde; The evolution: testing out her vacant gaze; swimming with newly added flotation.
Valeria informs me that we're going to a movie theater in a nearby mall. Walking the dark Odessa downtown with the Human Barbie flips on all my protective and fearful circuits at once. Everyone looks. Leather-jacketed youths stare heavily, meaningfully. Kids stare, which is somehow worse. Women stare, too. But here's the thing—other women's looks are largely approving. "Your waist is so amaaazing, " coos the plain brunette ticket taker. Valeria's waist is basically a sock of skin around her spinal cord.
She said we were going to see "five-dimensional movies" that play in a kind of indoor roller-coaster imitator. Seats list and rumble in time with the action, and whenever possible a water mist spritzes you from below the screen. Valeria and Olga take a long time thoughtfully browsing through the movies, most of which they have seen, and pick three. We bump and shake our way through a heavy-metal-scored dinosaur attack, a supernatural haunted house, and a sci-fi flight sequence that includes a detour into a giant worm's stomach (water-spritz time). Afterward, Valeria takes a shine to a particular wall of the theater lobby—it goes well with her outfit—so Olga, the Beta Barbie, photographs her against it. The ticket taker watches them from her booth, transfixed. | {

Buffalo soldier, look it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress
Be out of that dress when she meet Jim West
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step with flex and get a hole in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react,
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at,
With all of this, from the start of this,
Runnin the game, James West tamin the west so remember the name
Now who ya gonna call?
Dru Hill: Not the G.B.'s
Will Smith:Now who you gonna call?
Dru Hill: *G double E G*
Will Smith:
If you have a riff with people wanna bust,
Break out before you get bumrushed at the (Wild Wild West)
When I roll into the (Wild Wild West)
When I stroll into the (Wild Wild West)
When I bounce into the (Wild Wild West) Sisqo, Sisqo
Sisqo: We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
Will Smith:
Now, now, now, now once upon a time in the west
Mad man lost his damn mind in the west
Loveless, givin up a dime, nothin' less
Now I must put his behind to the test (can you feel me)
Then through the shadows, in the saddle, ready for battle
Bring all your boys in, here come the poison
Behind my back, all the riffin' ya did,
Front and center, now where your lip at kid?
Who dat is? A mean brotha, bad for your health
Lookin damn good though, if I could say it myself
Told me Loveless is a mad man, but I don't fear that
Got mad weapons too, ain't tryin to hear that
Tryin to bring down me, this champion
When y'all clowns gon' see that it can't be done
Understand me son, I'm the slickest they is,
I'm the quickest as they is, did I say I'm the slickest they is
So if you barking up the wrong tree we comin, don't be startin nothin
Me and my partner gonna test your chest, Loveless
Can't stand the heat then get out the Wild Wild West
Dru Hill: We going straight to (when I roll into the)the Wild Wild
West (when I stroll into the)
We going straight to (when I bounce into the)the Wild Wild
West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
Dru Hill: *freestylin*
To any outlaw tryin to draw, thinkin you're bad,
Any draw on West best with a pen and a pad,
Don't even think about it, six gun, weighin a ton,
10 paces and turn, just for fun, son,
Up till sundown, rolling around,
See where the bad guys are to be found and make 'em lay down,
The defenders of the west,
Crushin on pretenders in the west,
Don't mess with us cuz we're in the (Wild Wild West)
Sisqo: We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West

Nyssa sinensis
Nyssa sinensis (Chinese tupelo) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cornaceae (or Nyssaceae), native to China and Vietnam. Growing to tall and wide, it is a broadly conical deciduous tree, with oval leaves long, which turn brilliant red, orange and yellow in autumn.
Nyssa sinensis is known in cultivation as a more compact version of its relative Nyssa sylvatica (the black tupelo). Both plants, originating from swamps and wetlands, require moist conditions.
The cultivar ‘Jim Russell’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Comparative effect of allopolyploidy on transposable element composition and gene expression between Gossypium hirsutum and its two diploid progenitors.
An allopolyploidization event formed allotetraploid Gossypium species from an A-genome diploid species and a D-genome diploid species. To explore the responses of transposable elements (TEs) to allopolyploidy, we assembled parallel TE datasets from G. hirsutum, G. arboreum and G. raimondii and analyzed the TE types and the effects of TEs on orthologous gene expression in the three Gossypium genomes. Gypsy was the most abundant TE type and most TEs were located ∼500 bp from genes in all three genomes. In G. hirsutum, 35.6% of genes harbored TE insertions, whereas insertions were more frequent in G. arboreum and G. raimondii. G. hirsutum had the highest proportion of uniquely matching 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that targeted TEs. TEs, particularly those targeted by 24-nt siRNAs, were associated with reduced gene expression, but the effect of TEs on orthologous gene expression varied substantially among species. Orthologous gene expression levels in G. hirsutum were intermediate between those of G. arboreum and G. raimondii, which did not experience TE expansion or reduction resulting from allopolyploidization. This study underscores the diversity of TEs co-opted by host genes and provides insights into the roles of TEs in regulating gene expression in Gossypium. | {

List of Judges of the United States Tax Court
The United States Tax Court is composed of 19 members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Reappointment, when requested by a Tax Court judge is generally pro forma regardless of the political party of the appointing President and the political party of the re-appointing (sitting) President. By statute, Congress has granted to the President the power to remove the judges of the U.S. Tax Court "for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office...."
In addition, the Chief Judge may appoint a number of Special Trial Judges, who serve a function comparable to magistrate judges in the United States district courts.

Jason Quinn (chef)
Jason Quinn is a chef who won The Great Food Truck Race in 2011 and who is frequently a reference point in the development of culinary culture in Orange County, California.
As recently as the 1990s, award winning restaurants in Orange County consisted mostly of national chain restaurants with traditional American or Tex-Mex comfort food, in the late 1990s, culinary restaurant groups were formed featuring nouvelle cuisine, gourmet burgers and more; later in 2007 the Marneaus founded Marché Moderne and Top Chef chef Amar Santana opened a branch of Charlie Palmer (closed 2015).
Against the backdrop of this initial culinary scene in Orange County, Quinn opened Playground in Downtown Santa Ana (now "Playground DTSA") and later, Playground 2.0.
In 2016, Quinn also opened three stands ("Noodle Tramp", "PFC", and "Wagyu Chuck") in the Downtown Santa Ana 4th Street Market food hall when it opened, but later closed them, but kept operating his bar there called "Recess Libations".

I never thought there would be something that could give me as much heartburn while not eating and during work as the description of a baked Alfredo (baked in a homemade Parmesean cheese, butter, and cream sauced, with chicken and sausage), but, hey, I learn something new everyday.
They’re “the real deal” because they are basically just meat, fresh veggies and condiments. I loved them as a kid and still like getting their frys and grilled cheeses once in a while. If you’ve read fast food nation, you’ll hear about how they come out on tops in terms of safe food prep, taste, and even ethical employment practices (they pay people 8-9 bucks an hour to sling burgers instead of minimum wage).
dude, i found out too late about the goatse.cx…when my friend called me wondering about all the puns i had made on my blog about “cramming in too much meat,” etc….sweet jesus. i knew i had a bad feeling about that link…
Yeah, I linked to the same thing. I had a smallish heart-attack when I realized that the url re-directed to goatse.cx, especially since I sent the link to my prudish-boss. And the author of Fast Food Nation is indeed Eric Schlosser, I had a Freudian slip thinking of Laura Schlessinger. My apologies, I’m a little more drunk than usual.
Incidentally, I google for the calorie content in the In-n-out cheeseburger, and found that its 480 calories. So with a small pop, its reasonable to assume that that guy ate 9810 calories in that meal.
Lucy that is such bullshit…do you really think anyone is going to believe that A. You cooked a cheeseburger with 50 patties and 50 slices of cheese, and B. That someone actually ate the entire thing? The human stomach can’t hold that much physical matter…dumbass

In an exclusive interview for HotNewHipHop, Snow Tha Product reveals interesting facts about herself and talks about her Latin background.
We got our host Damon Campbell, who you may have seen recently interview Caskey, to have a sit-down with female rapper on the come-up, Snow Tha Product, for a discussion about her Latin roots as well as some randomness, in typical Damon form, such as about the time Snow closed the gap between her teeth without the help of braces.
Campbell met up with Snow after a show in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and they kick off the conversation talking about Snow's fast-paced rhymes. Snow soon discusses her very first rap, a "Hood Hop" remix.
"Haha..Oh fuck this," Snow said, surprised by the question. ""Hood Hop" was the first track I ever remixed...And it was yeah, my first line was fucking stupid, 'I'm the whole enchilada' some shit, and it made everybody kinda be like, 'oh you should be a rapper.' I really took the word and ran with it, like, here we are. I'm a rapper now."
The femcee also discussed her Latin background, and revealed how her mother actually has a slightly Filipino accent because she was taught English by an Asian co-worker. "My mom doesn't have the typical Mexican accent. She has a little bit of an Asian accent to it. And it's because she learned it from an Asian woman that worked where she worked. That's so weird. You know me too well," Snow told us.
Snow has become the first Latina rapper signed to a major label, although she doesn't necessarily curtail to typical Chicano rap, something which she has received a bit of flack for.
As Snow explains it, "Chicano rap is a genre in its own, and its got its own fan base and its respected. When I grew up I knew it was there and I listened to it and everything because it represented who I am. But at the same time I listen to hip-hop just as much. And it was almost like I'm not stepping away from that, I'm not tryna say that that's not a good representation of Latinos but at the same time I just grew up listening to this, and this is the route I'm talking. And you can't criticize me or say I'm less of Hispanic person for not being into that."
Check out the full interview below to find out more interesting facts about Snow Tha Product. We also premiered her "Doing Fine" visual the other week, catch it here. | {

Discontinuance of bacille Calmette-Guérin instillation therapy for nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer has negative effect on tumor recurrence.
To investigate whether the occurrence of side effects or discontinuance of bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy because of side effects is associated with its therapeutic efficacy. We analyzed the data from 145 patients who had had nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (Stage pTa, pT1, or pTis) and had undergone an initial course of adjuvant BCG therapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumor from 1996 and 2006 at Keio University Hospital. Side effects were classified as minor and major, and the association between the occurrence of side effects or discontinuance of BCG therapy because of side effects and tumor recurrence or progression was analyzed. Side effects occurred in 106 patients (73.1%) during BCG instillation. Of these 106 patients, 38 had major side effects and 95 had minor; 27 patients had both. BCG therapy was discontinued in 19 patients (13.1%) because of severe hematuria in 2, high fever in 8, and severe lower urinary tract symptoms in 9. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that discontinuance of BCG therapy (P = .018) was an independent predictor for tumor recurrence, in addition to multiplicity (P = .043). However, the occurrence of side effects was not an independent predictor for tumor recurrence (P = .935). Multivariate analyses also demonstrated that neither discontinuance of BCG therapy (P = .308) nor the occurrence of side effects (P = .333) was an independent predictor for tumor progression. Discontinuation of BCG therapy has a significantly deleterious effect on reducing the incidence of tumor recurrence. When major side effects occur, it might be preferable to attempt to mitigate the major side effects to maintain the BCG therapy on schedule. | {

Living with a toddler is a bit like living with a wild animal.
I have learnt a lot this weekend. Including the fact I should not keep fish as I have now killed them all of. Yep, 6 fish in 4 months. That I do not have much patience when tired. That I cannot stand Justin's House, and living with a toddler who is on one is bloody HARD. They constantly need feeding, even though whatever you give them will not be the right thing, they are always are whining, and there sole mission from waking up until they go to bed (and afterwards) is to make sure you cannot get a single thing done. And sometimes I don't really like my child.
So with it being Elijah's OP anniversary (part 2 coming soon) I am a tad on the emotional side as it is (Greg has been keeping me pacified with Galaxy, Bad Girls re runs and Die Hard) but my lord its like Elijah has turned into a full blown little (insert your choice word here) 'darling' leaving a trail of sleepless nights, crumbs and mess in his wake like a herd of effing wildebeest have been through my house. It is like he has turned into a defiant teenager overnight and has stopped listening to a word I say. At nearly 19 months we have hit the terrible twos. Trust him to do it early.
Before I had a child people used to toss this phrase 'terrible twos' about, and I didn't take much notice. But frigging hell they should do an ante natal class on it, to pre warn you its coming! I believe they currently consist of;
*Touching everything he is not meant to
*Throwing everything (including at my head).
*Tantrums
*Wanting to live of Jaffa Cakes and Party Rings.
*Terrorising the pets- poor Gingey the hamster was his victim this week by being thrown in her ball on the floor.
*Lobbing all food (normally healthy) onto the floor or sofa.
*Sudden laziness where said toddler cannot do anything for himself including reaching for the cup that is 2cms from him.
*Shouting and screaming
*Whining- OMG THE BLOODY WHINING.
*Climbing on everything and anything and generally trying to brake a bone or give me a heart attack.
*Trying to smash the new TV or any technology in the house for that matter.
*In not such polite terms being a little shit.
Today has not started well, first of all Elijah has decided that his eyes, arms and legs don't work at night time. So when he wakes up in the night and has lost his dummy which is normally under his chin, he cannot possibly get it himself. He will proceed to sit up and crine (cry and whine) until I stumble out of bed to shove it in his gob. He then proceeds to fall asleep straight away. I was up 7 bloody times last night! 7!! Cue a grumpy and slightly less tolerant mother today.
In the three short hours he has been up, there has been much noise and destruction in the house. Like a herd of bloody wildebeest have stampeded the house. A whirlwind involving Barny's, bananas, blocks and Mr Tumble. I have just sat in part of Nutrigrain he has kindly left on the sofa. He is now trying to push Thomas the Tank into the new TV after chucking an entire orange on the floor. The tantrums as well, half the time I don't think he even knows why he is throwing a wobbler but my god when he does, he does. I love my child, I really do more than anything, but that noise when he kicks of... starting with a whine and then slowly upping the pitch into a harpie wail, I am not ashamed to admit I can't stand that noise. Not one bit. It makes me want to put him outside in a box with a 'free to a good home' sign on it.
Counting to ten does not work. Jesus it does not. Don't tell me too or I will kick you in the crotch. When you are sweeping up yet another crushed in biscuit from the floor, or picking your toothbrush from the bedroom floor AGAIN after you told him to leave it alone makes me want to SCREAM! Now and again during a normal day you may have the odd kick off or wobbler. But this weekend it is something else, it is ALL DAY!! I am half the woman I was on Friday. I am traumatised. I want to hide in the cupboard under the stairs and eat cheese. I feel like I have been kicked in the face by those little punching men toys.
I am trying to figure out what has changed by lovely little cherub into a demon although I have for sometimes been thinking the signs of him being Damien from the Omen have been there. Now, Elijah is a clever little bugger, no idea where that came from. He is quite forward and is currently having a vocab explosion, he is picking up new words everyday. I am trying so hard not to swear, so far it's not going too well. He is learning songs, I am quite proud to say he knows the whole of the Swashbuckle Salute complete with actions. He has learnt the word 'NO' and what that means. He knows if he does not want to do something. Or to sound cute by saying 'OH NO' when he has cocked the TV up with the remote again. Physically he is learning new skills as well, he can now walk down the stairs which is great until he tries to grab the stairgate and swing on it like Tarzan. Elijah can now climb on pretty much anything including standing on the coffee table and laughing like an evil genius when watching Paw Patrol (Damien!).
In the midst of clearing up food, watching 'PEPPE PIG' for the 100th time and trying to stop him dive bombing off the sofa this weekend has killed me. Mentally and physically. He is officially a toddler and a handful of one at that. I sort of wish they would invent giant toddler cages we could put them in... bit like a hamster cage with a wheel. It means my house would be a lot cleaner. I have to say it is very exciting seeing him learn so many new words and skills, but I do miss the little blob he used to be. It was a lot easier then!
This is where as a parent I am conflicted, you love the little buggers to death but after using your 'MUM VOICE' for 2 straight days and feeling more like a zoo keeper than a Mum you sort of a little bit want to shove them in the garden and hide in the shed until Monday when you go back to work. Then they do something sweet like say goodbye to Mr Maker on TV that you then think oh well who cares he has just thrown a bit of cheese on toast at the cat?
I think as a NICU Mum and the fact he has gone through what he has, I am a bit of a soft touch. I probably let him get away with a lot more than he should, and have created a rod for my own back. That was my choice, I think I feel too guilty. I am so grateful he is okay, I am. However I am also human, and a normal mother too. Toddlers are more unpredictable than a hormonal teenager. I am worried he may have my temperament as I have been described as Bambi on oestrogen before. One minute he is wanting to fall asleep on me and I am sneakily smelling his hair.... the next I want to list him on GUM TREE as he has kicked me in the gut repeatedly.
So living with a toddler is really like living with a wild animal;
*Neither are toilet trained
*Unpredictable sleeping patters
*Erratic behaviour.
*Eats everything they want to, disregards what they don't anywhere and everywhere.
*Can turn viscous when provoked (like asking them to get their shoes on).
*Does not respond well to instructions (like don't put your finger in the plug).
*Takes things that don't belong to them and hides them in weird places.
I could go on and on but Elijah is currently standing stuck in a toy box he has climbed into and his wailing like a banshee. He is so high pitched I think he is setting the dog off next door. This is very much interrupting me adding an advert on Gum Tree. | {
