As education administrators have increasingly introduced police officers into schools, the result has been a blurring of the lines of legal and moral questioning of students by police.
Seeking to counter that blurring, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that police must factor the age of young suspects in their decisions about whether juveniles should be given Miranda rights, including the disclosure that suspects don't have to talk to police and may ask for a lawyer.
The ruling has not settled the issue, however. Many questions still remain about the treatment of students by authorities.

PYONGYANG, North Korea — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea on Thursday to meet leader Kim Jong Un and put the finishing touches on plans to bring 12 ex-NBA players to Pyongyang for a Jan. 8 exhibition game marking the leader's birthday.
Rodman's visit comes less than a week after North Korea announced the execution of Kim's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, an unprecedented fall from grace for one of the most powerful figures in the country.
Officials in Pyongyang say Jang's removal has not caused any instability.
Rodman's visit — should it proceed uneventfully — could be a sign that Kim is firmly in charge.
Rodman said he was undaunted by the recent political events.
"I can't control what they do with their government, I can't control what they say or how they do things here," he said. "I'm just trying to come here as a sports figure and try to hope I can open the door for a lot of people in the country."
Rodman and Kim have struck up an unlikely friendship since the Hall of Famer traveled to the secretive state for the first time in February with the Harlem Globetrotters for an HBO series produced by New York's VICE television.

This was my favorite story of all. Interestingly, I read it while running on the eliptical machine during a lunch break from my geeky job. Sigh.

This was the first of Doctorow's work I read. Although it is still my favorite, I have become completely addicted.
Thanks to Cory, I became inspired to follow my own dream of writing (although the genre is completely unrelated!). Check me out.

I recently read this story after it was linked on Boing Boing, and it's a great story indeed. I share some of your fascinations (posthumanism & geek culture) and this story carries so much of both. Very enjoyable read.

This is your 3rd story I read, & the best so far. Also, among my top 20% from all authors.
My first impression was: crazy plot – software hangs, & my heart stops beating! As the idea started sinking in, it didn't quite appear that crazy – though probably very far into future, if at all it ever comes to be.
Good work. Thanks.

- Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Tyrion is a deconstruction of the ubiquitous Tolkienian dwarves in the Epic Fantasy genre. For starters, he is a human with dwarfism.
- His use of an axe in combat is explained because of his physical limitations making him unable to swing a sword properly.
- Since he was never expected to excell at combat (or anything else) he turned to books and became one of the most learned men in Westeros rather than a dwarf Boisterous Bruiser. He still got zero respect from it, unlike dwarfs in Norse Mythology.
- He is not even rich because he mines for gold, but because his (non-dwarf) father owns several gold mines.
- Finally, when Tyrion is deprived of his wealth and noble status, he gets much Angst from a Crapsack World that only sees him as a circus freak.
08:19:53 AM Aug 7th 2013
I also agree. I think as a WMG, the idea that Tyrion draws from some traditional fantasy dwarf tropes is not immediately unconvincing, but it really seems a stretch- not to mention the huge Unfortunate Implications in equating a human with dwarfism with a mythical humanoid race. There are not fantasy dwarves in the setting (unless that's what the probably fictional in-universe snarks and grumkins are), but if there were, only then could one consider whether or not those tropes are being deconstructed.

I thought breaking the marriage pact would be part of why Robb is bad with diplomacy, so that's why I added the thing about One Thing Led to Another.

I suppose so, but the way it was written kind of swamped the main point of the entry. I've re-added it as a brief sidenote.

The title of Aldous Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza (1936) derives from Milton's Samson Agonistes (1671), in which the blind Samson is described as: "Eyeless in Gaza at the Mill with slaves". The novel has traditionally been seen as a watershed in Huxley's career, demarcating the work of the "amused, Pyrrhonic aesthete" (as Huxley would later describe his younger self), who sardonically depicted the moral anomie of the post-war generation in novels such as Antic Hay (1923) and Point Counter Point (1928), from the work of the quasi-mystical pacifist, who sacrificed his artistic standards in order to promote what he would subsequently term the Perennial Philosophy (the common mystical core of the …

SWMI is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's Sustainable Water Management
Initiative. It was created in 2010 by the Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs and included input from a wide range of stakeholders and
support from the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), the
Department of Fish and Game, and the Department of Conservation and
Recreation. Its purpose is to reevaluate the way the Commonwealth manages
water so that there is enough for the many and sometimes competing long-term
water needs of our communities and our aquatic ecosystems.
This panel will provide an overview of the final SWMI Framework, highlight
pilot projects conducted to "test" its application, and describe the key
components of the draft regulations that will be published in early 2014.

Bryan County still hasn't been able to shake off the turnovers that have plagued the Redskins' season and led to a 1-14 start, but first-year coach David Elmore was given some hope during Friday's home game against Vidalia, the third-ranked team in Class AA.
While it may not have been reflected in the final score and outcome, Elmore said his defense played much better throughout the game, a 78-46 loss to the Indians.
"We probably played better on defense than we have all year," Elmore said. "We were very aggressive in a good way at times."
But failure to consistently maintain possession of the basketball limited the Redskins' scoring chances.
"Turnovers were still the big problem for us. We probably had close to 50 on the night," Elmore said. "If we could have changed that situation, the outcome could have been much different, certainly closer."
Vidalia used depth to its advantage and established a balanced attack, as 11 players scored.
Raekwon Reed (13 points), Jordan Black (12) and Terry Jones (11) all registered double figures.
The Indians came out of the gate on fire, as 6-foot-6 big man Ramel Thompkins followed a missed jumper with a thunderous dunk to kick off the scoring and ignite a 9-1 Vidalia run early.
The Redskins were able to keep things close for most of the first half, pulling to within five points on a successful three-point play by Jeremy McClendon to start the second period and then four on a Tre Smith free throw.
But a 17-4 Vidalia run pushed the lead up to 17 and eventually, it was 44-30 at the break following a 3-pointer from McClendon, who finished with a game-high 18 points.
The Indians forced three critical turnovers and went on an 8-0 dash to start the second half and take a 52-30 advantage, effectively putting the game well out of reach.
"Overall, we gave much better effort tonight," Elmore said after Friday's game. "I think we learned a lot and gained a lot from this game."
The Redskins' struggles continued in a 69-32 non-region home loss to Class A Claxton on Saturday. Bryan County hosted Long County on Tuesday night, as it tried to pick up its first Region 2-AA (B) sub-region victory.
The Redskins are back in action at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Toombs County.
Vidalia (78): Raekwon Reed 13, Jordan Black 12, Terry Jones 11, Ramel Thompkins 9, Malik Mincey 8, Dashon Holloway 7, Alton McCloud 6, Tra Hardy 5, D.J. Mincey 3, Rashaad Thompkins 2, Nick McBride 2
Bryan County (46): Jeremy McClendon 18, Antonio Brown 12, Chris Morgan 4, Markus Johnson 4, Troy Robertson 3, Juan Casio 2, Quran George 2, Tre Smith 1

Steinbrenner opens up about Yanks' struggles
Managing general partner discusses A-Rod, Mets sweep, team's spirit
NEW YORK -- The Yankees have lost seven of their last nine games, including four in a row last week to the Mets and a pair this weekend to the Red Sox, always their top rivals in the American League East.
But Hal Steinbrenner, the team's managing general partner, is certainly not panicking.View Full Game Coverage
"Well, they're struggling, no doubt about it, but they're going to keep fighting," Steinbrenner told the collective media after a press conference at Yankee Stadium that announced a new eight-year deal for the Big 10 to participate in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl college football showcase.
"The morale is good. I know that for a fact. I was down there earlier today. They're going to keep fighting and let's keep perspective here. We're three games out in the toughest division in baseball. We're right in the middle of the fight and that's going to continue. But we do need to start hitting, there's no doubt about it. They know that. They know that."
In a six-minute off-the-cuff gathering prior to Monday night's opener of a three-game set against the Indians, Steinbrenner fielded questions about Robinson Cano's contract, the future of Alex Rodriguez with the Yankees and the four-game sweep by the hands of the crosstown Mets.
No news on Cano's contract
About Cano, the Yankees All-Star second baseman who can be a free agent this offseason, Steinbrenner said there was no news.
"I have nothing new to report, nothing new to report," he said. "If there's something significant, you guys will be the first to know."
Hoping A-Rod will 'act like a Yankee'
About A-Rod, who is rehabbing from hip surgery at the club's complex in Tampa, Fla., Steinbrenner was asked to respond to comments made by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball that it was tough for the third baseman to live up to his eight-year, $275 million contract.
"It's something I think even Alex would tell you, he couldn't live up to that," Cashman said.
Responded Steinbrenner: "Well, it's a big contract to live up to. I didn't see Brian's comments, to be honest with you. Look, we just hope he comes back healthy as he did in '09 after the surgery and we hope he contributes in a big way. I mean, he's a heck of an athlete and if the surgery has fixed the problem, you may see good things out of him. We certainly hope so. ... We all hope he's going to act like a Yankee and do the best he can to live up to it."
Asked if Rodriguez has acted like a Yankee, Steinbrenner added: "Well, we'll see. We'll find out when he comes back. I know he's been working hard and he's been working hard to come back. And he does work hard. He knows what it means to be a Yankee. He knows what we expect of him. He knows what his teammates expect of him. We just hope he comes back strong. We need all the help we can get.
"There's no doubt at times that we've been disappointed in him and we've conveyed that to him and he understands that. But everyone is human. Everyone makes mistakes. If you've got a guy over the course of 10 years, there will be times when anybody is going to make mistakes in a decade, right?"
About Major League Baseball's investigation of A-Rod's steroid use through a now defunct Miami clinic, Steinbrenner said: "We haven't been told anything so it hasn't complicated [our relationship] at all. He's been in Tampa. He's been rehabbing. We hope he comes back strong. But there's innocent until proven guilty, right? We haven't heard a thing."
Staying calm over Mets sweep
Steinbrenner took over management of the club in the waning days of his father George's life. The man they called "The Boss" passed away nearly three years ago at the age of 80.
In recent days, as the Yanks were swept by the Mets, there has been much talk about how the late Steinbrenner would have handled it. He was well-known for his quick outbursts, sudden firings and written public apologies to Yankees fans after a series of losses like the ones that have occurred in recent days.
But the current Yankees hierarchy has handled the situation with an even and calm hand, as Hal Steinbrenner conveyed again Monday.
"He went through a few [of these]," Steinbrenner said about his dad. "Some of them he handled better than others, right? Some of you guys were here. So I can't say. Maybe he would've been fine, maybe not. It's a long season and we're right in the middle of it, right in the middle of it."
But losing two at Citi Field and another pair at Yankee Stadium to the Mets? How does that feel in the present tense?
"Look, they are the crosstown rivals, there's no doubt about that. But I concern myself a little bit more with the teams in our division. You have to. But does it feel good? No. Does it sting? Yes, absolutely, absolutely."
'Very much in this fight'
In summing up a season during which almost $100 million of star players have been on the disabled list, one the Yankees are still playing without A-Rod, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Francisco Cervelli and Michael Pineda, Steinbrenner said he's pleased that the Yankees are where they are.
"I think about the team, a lot of people expected the doomsday scenario around April 1," he said. "I don't think anybody figured we'd be three games out of first place in the American League East. I think the team has done well against adversity. The pitching has been great. You can't say enough about the pitching the entire season. And the guys we've brought in, the veterans, have done a good job and some of the young kids have done a good job.
"Look, the last week has hurt. There's no doubt about it. It's not a fun place to be when you're slumping. Again, let's try to keep the perspective that we've very much in this fight and we're right at the top."

A driver rolled his car early Wednesday morning after leading Lawrence police on a chase through a neighborhood south of Kansas University.
The driver, a 28-year-old Lawrence man, ran a red light heading south at 19th and Tennessee streets at 1:30 a.m., police said.
"When an officer tried to pull the car over, the driver failed to yield," Lawrence Police Sgt. Susan Hadl said. "He attempted to flee from the officer, taking side streets and some major streets through the Centennial neighborhood."
After driving west on 21st Street, east on 22nd Street, and north on Carolina Street, the man proceeded to Ousdahl Road and headed south across 23rd Street.
The driver then tried to turn east on 25th Court but could not negotiate the turn, causing his car to roll over.
Medical personnel arrived shortly to treat the man, who was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor cuts to his forehead.
The driver was arrested on charges of operating under the influence, attempting to elude police, reckless driving, no insurance and driving while suspended. Bond was set at $1,050.

You might have heard about a recent stunt that John McAfee pulled on some reporters to show that he broke the encryption of WhatsApp. In order to execute this hack he sent them phones that contained a backdoored version of WhatsApp.
This is a perfect use case to demonstrate how useful our "System and Security Info" application is that we sold on the iOS AppStore. However if you did not get it by 14th of May you will not be able to get it again, because Apple killed us from the AppStore in their never ending quest to deny that iOS should be allowed to have security tools provided by 3rd parties. Their official statement is that our app was pulled, because the output could confuse our users.
Let's get back at the problem at hand. The average iOS user will likely not be attacked by a government grade stealthy iOS rootkit but instead the usual attacks will occurr: People will trick them into installing enterprise apps or after gaining short time physical access to a device whole apps will be replaced by developer or enterprise signed backdoored apps. This is exactly the type of attack that was in preparation at HackingTeam with their backdoored NewsStand app (which was discovered when all of their data was stolen and leaked to the internet). And this is exaclty the type of attack McAfee tried to use to trick reporters into believing that he broke the WhatsApp encryption. This is at least what the media is reporting about this case.
So how would you detect such an attack with the help of "System and Security Info" (if you were one of the lucky to get it before Apple censored it from the AppStore):
Note: if you want to check that the builtin Apps like NewsStand are not replaced you need to check if our app says "adhoc" (was changed to "builtin" in latest version that we cannot submit to the store anymore).
And I want to thank everyone who bought the application and is concerned about their iPhone's security. We will put the money to good use and use it to finance our future research into iOS security problems.

Index to All Families | Index to Families by County: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, Washington
Go to previous family: Curtis | next family: Becker
[This information is from Vol. II, pp. 628-629 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
This family early appears in the records of New Amsterdam and the Hudson Valley. Their course may be marked in their northward migration from New Amsterdam by descendants still to be found in the cities and towns along the river. They are found in the earliest records of Beverwyck and Albany counties, where there have been many men of prominence bearing the name.
(I) Jan Jurianse Becker (Bekker) in 1656 was clerk at Fort Casimir (on the Delaware). He sold liquor to the Indians, which brought him into conflict with the authorities. In 1660 he was deprived of the office and went to New Amsterdam, where in the same year he had leave to "keep a school." In 1663 he was an inhabitant of Greenbush (Rensselaer); afterwards was notary public and schoolmaster for the youths of Beverwyck and "esteemed very capable that way." He was city chamberlain, 1686, and was an attorney, as the early records show. He made his will August 3, 1694, in which he speaks of son Johannes and daughter Martina (wife of Willem Hogan), who was made administratrix of his estate, December 16, 1697.
(II) Johannes, son of Jan Jurianse Becker, married Anna Van der Zee and had children: Marken, Hilletje, Johannes, see forward, Hilletje (2), Storm, Gerritt, Elizabeth Albertus, Annatjie and Pieter.
(III) Johannes (2), son of Johannes (1) and Anna (Van der Zee) Becker, married Sara Van Arnhem and had children: Johannes, Abraham, see forward, Cornelia, Isaac, Nicholas and Cornelius.
(IV) Abraham, son of Johannes (2) and Sarah (Van Arnhem) Becker, married Elizabeth Van der Zee. He settled in what is now the town of Westerloo [Westerlo?], Albany county, New York, prior to the revolution, where he was known among the very earliest settlers.
(V) Willem (Wilhelm), son of Abraham and Elizabeth (Van der Zee) Becker, was baptized March 12, 1781. He was a farmer of the town of Guilderland, Albany county. He married Sophia McMichael. Children: Peter, John, Alexander, Nicholas, Angelica, Maria, Eliza, George, William, Henry.
(VI) John, son of Wilhelm Becker, was born on the homestead farm in Guilderland, 1814, and followed the business of a general farmer in that town all his life. He married, 1838, Margaret Ogsbury, daughter of one of Guilderland's pioneer families. Children:
(VII) Abram, son of John and Margaret (Ogsbury) Becker, was born on the old Becker homestead in Guilderland, 1843, died in Albany, New York, 1892. He was educated in the town schools, and for many years followed farming. In 1877 he located in Albany, where his later years were passed. He married, 1864, Hester, daughter of Henry P. Shaver, who was the only son of Peter Shaver, of Guilderland, and a grandson of Henry Shaver, who was born February 14, 1758, and served in the revolutionary war as an enlisted soldier of the First Regiment, New York Continental Line, under Colonel Goosen Van Schaick, and in the Fifteenth Regiment, Albany County Militia, under Colonel Peter Vrooman. He married Alida Bradt. Peter Shaver, son of Henry and Alida (Bradt) Shaver, was born in New Scotland (then Bethelehem), Albany county, New York, July 19, 1795, died in Guilderland 1886. His parents settled in Guilderland when he was eight years of age, and his subsequent life was passed within a few miles of his birthplace. He served as a private in the war of 1812, and was a man of prominence in his town. He was an active worker in the Whig party and attracted the attention of such men as William H. Seward and Thurlow Weed. Many lucrative public positions were offered him, but were always declined. From 1842 to 1846 he represented Guilderland on the board of Albany county supervisors, and was a member of the constitutional convention of 1846. Although possessed of little education beyond that obtained in the little log schoolhouse of his early days, he had gained by close observation and reading a fund of information that made him a most formidable opponent in debate or argument. He was of unusually sound judgment and a wise counsellor. He had obtained a good knowledge of law and was often chosen as referee in important cases. He married, in 1817, Catherine Banker, daughter of Hon. Cornelius H. Waldron. Children: Henry P., father of Hester (Shaver) Becker, and Hester. Children of Abram and Hester (Shaver) Becker:
(VIII) John Austin, second son of Abram and Hester (Shaver) Becker, was born in Guilderland, Albany county, New York, October 31, 1867. He was educated in the city schools of Albany, finishing with the high school. He began his business career as clerk with a firm of grain merchants, and has since devoted himself to that business. In 1891 he began as an independent dealer in Albany, and so continues. He has been successful in his undertakings and has attained a high position in commercial and financial circles. He is director of the First National Bank, trustee of the Exchange Savings Bank, both of Albany, and a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. He married, January 9, 1901, Minnie Belle, daughter of David and Elizabeth Skinner. Children:

Jan Antonisz. van Ravesteyn (The Hague 1572-1657)
Portrait of an officer, three-quarter-length, in armour with a white sash and molensteenkraag, standing beside a draped table with gloves and a helmet
oil on panel

Hong Kong +852 2760 1766
Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
The majority of Ravesteyn's portraits date form between 1610 and 1640 and he painted many high ranking military officers, members of the highest social circles, and men involved in government who were stationed in the city from all over the Dutch Republic. Among his most important works are a series of officers' portraits (Mauritshuis, The Hague), most likely commissioned by Prince Maurits in 1611, and a portrait of Prince Frederick Hendrik (Dutch Royal Collection) of 1612. Not all of his portraits, however, were conventional. His 1618 Epitaph of Adriaen van Maeusyenbroeck and Anna Elant (Museum Het Catharijneconvent, Utrecht) updated the traditional Catholic memorial painting by bringing the elements of the triptych format into the confines of a single panel.
Ravesteyn is often associated with the Delft portraitist Michiel van Mierevelt. He was recorded in Delft in 1597, which has led to speculation that he studied with Mierevelt but the latter's influence can only be seen in works painted after 1610. Ravesteyn is recorded as entering the Hague Guild of St. Luke's in February 1598 and the following year painted a portrait of the Remonstrant leader Hugo de Groot at the age of 16 (Paris, Fondation Custodia, Institut Néerlandais). He painted hundreds of portraits over the course of his career and ran a large and successful studio. His production slowed remarkably after 1641 but he was still an important member of the Hague artistic community as evidenced by his invitation to join Pictura in 1656.

The next court appearance for former International Monetary Fund (IMF) head Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been pushed back from Aug. 1 to Aug. 23, his lawyers said Tuesday.
Attorneys William W. Taylor and Benjamin Brafman issued a statement saying, "We have consented to a postponement of the status hearing before Judge (Michael) Obus from August 1 to August 23."
"The hearing has been postponed to allow [the District Attorney's office] to complete their investigation. Our hope and expectation is that once they do so, they will dismiss all charges," Brafman said.
A statement from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance confirmed the postponement, adding, "The investigation into this pending criminal case is continuing. We will have no further comment."
Strauss-Kahn, once considered a top candidate for the next president of France, has been charged in a seven-count indictment with sexually attacking a maid who arrived to clean his room at a luxury midtown hotel on May 14.
However, the DA's office has acknowledged concerns about the woman's credibility and Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest July 1.
Earlier this week the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, 32, launched a media blitz, giving interviews to ABC and Newsweek, in which she graphically described the alleged assault by Strauss-Kahn.
Strauss-Kahn's arrest as he prepared to depart on a flight for Paris generated headlines and debate around the world, cost him his job at the helm of the IMF and apparently dashed his hopes for a run at the French presidency.

My Ex is Using MeVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
My ex broke up with me almost five months ago. He wanted to date other people because I am the only one he has been with. We also fought a lot. Well it was really rough for me for a while and now I am doing better. We have both dated other people. We are good friends now. He calls almost everyday. He is taking me to my cousin's wedding soon also.
Well yesterday I got upset when he was with another girl and I told him that I couldnt be his friend anymore. He got really mad and said that I need to push aside my feelings and be friends with him. He said he doesnt know what he wants right now. I am feeling used. How do I act around him when we go to the wedding.
And also, we will be sharing a hotel room. Any suggestions?
RomanceClass.com Advice
This definitely sounds like your ex is using you. First he abandons you because he wants to sow his wild oats, but it is your duty to be there as his safety net and to make him feel loved just in case one of the girlfriends doesn't work out well. He calls you all the time because you're willing to be there for him, while he romps around dating other girls. And he has the gall to be upset that this bothers you??
And on top of it all he is going to share a room with you at the wedding, with you having these emotions?
A true friend NEVER says "push aside your feelings and force yourself to be friends with me". What kind of a friendship is that? A friendship is all ABOUT feelings and being true to them! This guy is definitely using you for his OWN self worth feelings. If HE was a true friend he would stop treating you like this and would actually care about what YOUR feelings were.

Interview by Henry Bazibu, Sponsor Relations Officer, ChildFund Uganda
My name is Grace Mwagale. I am 33 years old. I work as a records officer at a government hospital in Uganda and earn a salary, which helps me provide for my family of three. I feel very proud that my children sleep on a bed, have three meals a day and have decent clothes to wear. Since I work at the hospital, I can also afford medical services for them.
I come from a poor background, and being an orphan from a young age only made my situation worse. I grew up in Lukone village near the St. Mulumba Family Helper project, which was affiliated with ChildFund.
Before I was sponsored, I stayed in a grass-thatched, pole-and-mud house with my siblings, and slept on papyrus reeds for a mattress. I wore no shoes and my dresses were tattered. I had no scholastic materials and didn't like school much because I felt inferior to the other children. Most of them laughed at my tattered clothes and my little heart was in pain. I started receiving sponsorship in 1984 when I was seven years old.
While I was a sponsored child, I received counseling from social workers, which helped to build my self-esteem. In addition, I received school fees and gifts, and my family received cows and goats for rearing.
The animals multiplied and we sold some and used the proceeds to construct a small permanent house. Living in a permanent house felt so good. We were not worried any more that rain would fall through the roof and ruin our few earthly possessions, and we stopped counting the stars in the sky through the holes in the grass-thatched roof. It really felt great. I felt challenged to read hard and pass my exams, and never to let down my sponsors who had given me so much.

An artificial lizard regrows its tail (and more): regeneration of 3-dimensional structures with hundreds of thousands of artificial cells
Alessandro Fontana, Borys Wrobel
Biological multicellular structures can not only self-generate from a single cell but also self-regenerate after damage. In this paper we investigate self-regeneration in a model of artificial development, Epigenetic Tracking. 3-dimensional cellular structures grown using our model reach a size and a level of complexity unmatched by other models in the field, thanks to several features of Epigenetic Tracking. One of these features is that only a small fraction of cells in the body, called drivers, orchestrate development. In this paper we use the mechanim for the generation of drivers based on the diffusion of morphogens as a foundation of several new mechanisms in Epigenetic Tracking, and show that these mechanisms allow for self-regeneration after removal of arbitrarily large portions of the multicellular body.

The purge pump primer is designed in a way that the operator cannot flood the machine by priming the carburetor too many times. Flooding the engine is still possible if the choke is not removed after the engine fires.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NavyJeff from Great yard tool Excellent quality as expected. Does a great job vacuuming leaves in areas of the property where a blower is less than optimal.

Rated 1 out of 5 by michael44 from attachments are impossible to get on and off Trying to switch between sucking leaves and blowing leaves is almost impossible due to poorly designed attachments that get stuck. Getting the collars off require two people, with one using a screwdriver. Horrible design and frustrating to use.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SH86 from Lacking power, Tough to start Had the machine over 3 months now and overall disappointed. If used as a shredder for leaves, there are two main problems. First the shredder blade does a poor job of mulching leaves and clogs easily with any pile larger than a bowling ball. Second, the collection bag is too small and needs to be emptied much too frequently which doesnt end up saving any time.As a blower, the machine is underpowered and doesn't move anything other than a small amount of dry leaves a few inches.The "C-E" recoil start isn't any improvement over the standard starting mechanism and usually requires 4-5 pulls to even get started.Overall, skip this one and go for the backpack blower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ibwaldo from Just what I was hoping for I have a small residential lot in town with one large and two smaller trees. I needed away to condense the leaves for easy disposal and this works great! The only time I have an issue is when I pick up a larger chunk of bark mulch (thumb size or so) as this can jam it up. Only once have I had to remove the cover to clear the jam, normally you can use your finger to move the debris back out the way it came (powered off of course). I have not had any issues with sticks up to pencil size. I have read where people complain about converting it from blower to vacuum, but I don't don't have any issues with it. I actually like how everything locks in place. That being said, I can see if you have smaller hands where it might not be as easy. I use my chainsaw bar adjustment tool to assist and the screwdriver end works great at pressing the release tabs. I recently bought the gutter clean out attachment and it works great as well. My house has two inside gutter corners and it will not work very well on those, but it works much better then I was expecting on everything else. All in all I am very happy with the performance, ease of use, versatility, and being able to get stuff done with one tool. Much easier the racking and bagging!!!One last thought, both the vacuum and gutter clean out attachment will get you dirty!!! I call it my late summer tan, but I'll take this over hard labor any day :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by NTW52 from Good blower/vac This blower replaced our older 55BG blower, but it seems our older blower has more power. The vacuum feature is nice for picking up leaves and mulches them

By Tibor Shanto – email@example.com
We here in Canada have not been spared the phenomenon of fake news, although we are still working on making it the art form it is elsewhere. Sure, you're all thinking about the fallout from the election in the former colonies to the south, but I am speaking even closer to home, specifically the fake news making the rounds in sales circles.
Who hasn't mistakenly (or just through sheer curiosity) clicked on a Never Cold Call Again link. The experience was usually based on the bias the person had long before they clicked. Those who have a serious fear factor when it comes to picking up the phone, felt their inaction would be validated, and those of us who have made loads of money smiling and dialing, see these sites or posts as a source of amusement in an otherwise productive sales day, selling to people we cold called.
The problem with fake news, sales or political, is it is all amusing when it stays on the web, where it can be a source of entertainment for some, or a source of excuses for others. But when these fake posts and articles begins to ooze into the real world, it costs people sales, their jobs, drive companies to bankruptcimpacts the economy, and the next thing you know we need to cut interest rates again. As with political fake news, these posts are full of repeatedly debunked, but the peddlers of fake news, political or selling, have mastered the mantra of "let's not cloud the issue with facts."
For example, many "cold calling is dead" proponents regularly point to stats that suggest "social sellers" convert and close more business by a factor or XX%; while at the same time pointing to the low success rate of cold calling. Now I don't have counter facts, mostly because I am busy working with sales people who work for people I cold called. When you live in the real world, you have the advantage of experience and the ability to evaluate facts as you see them, not vicarious stats and experiences.
I share another recent experience as an example of fake news and fake sales. I visited a sales leader a few weeks ago, (using a combination of social selling and traditional selling, I think those of us who do not have a social selling book or webinar, just call that selling). A few minutes in to the meeting he asked what I thought about "social selling", I told him I see it as a part of a big tool kit, and that while I do not label myself as a social seller, I was 8th on the list on forbes.com.
He then told me that he had engaged a local social selling expert, apparently, they were "world famous in Toronto". As we explored how the two approaches may be harmonized, he told me that he wasn't sure about social selling, but he had read so much about, the stats were impressive, and he felt he would give it a try. What he said next was the most telling. He said that he had to try because he was given 'a real good price because" name omitted to protect the innocent, "was in the process of collecting logos, and made it real cheap."
And so there we are, fake sales. Because there is a difference between selling it, and socializing it before you give it away. And so once again it is about the revenue, not the sale, because this fake sale, much like the fake news that are void of facts, this fake sale had no revenue.

(Literary Essentials: Christian Fiction and Nonfiction)
Paradise Regained is poet John Milton's sequel to his great epic poem Paradise Lost (1667, 1674), in which he began his history of sin and redemption by telling the story of the fallen angel Lucifer (Satan) and the loss of innocence through Adam and Eve's original sin and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Whereas Paradise Lost consisted of ten books (twelve in its 1674 revised version) of blank verse, Paradise Regained consists of only four. In the poem's induction, Milton announces that he will complete the history of sin and redemption begun with Paradise Lost. Thus, Paradise Regained retells Luke's account of Jesus' temptation in the desert by Satan.
Milton begins his story with Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist. At this event, a voice from Heaven announces that Jesus is the Son of God, a term whose meaning is crucial to the story as Jesus grows in knowledge of himself and his role as the Messiah. Jesus, returning to his mother Mary's house, hears from Mary the story of his miraculous birth, announced by the angel Gabriel. Jesus then wanders in the desert for forty days and nights as he ponders how to begin his mission.
Meanwhile, Satan has observed Christ's baptism and heard the announcement that Jesus is the Son of God, though he is unsure of what the term "Son of God" means. Calling a council of devils, Satan resolves to corrupt Jesus as he did Adam. God the Father views all these characters from Heaven and tells the angel Gabriel that Jesus' time in the desert will be his trial period, which he will pass just as Job did. In the wilderness, Satan, disguised as an old man, confronts Jesus. Posing as Jesus' friend and adviser, Satan tempts Jesus (who now feels the pangs of hunger after his forty days in the wilderness) by telling him to turn the stones into food. Jesus, however, sees through Satan's disguise and says that man lives by God's Word, not by bread. During Jesus' absence, Andrew and Simon, Jesus' followers, search for him and meditate on his significance, while Mary keeps her faith in God's promise.

Town Wildlife
It was a day when we fought for the shovel as the bitter wind easily penetrated layers of clothes. We were planting a new native hedgerow in the hills and this gave us the opportunity to observe some unusual bird behaviour. Hooded crows or scald crows have an unfair reputation but they are highly intelligent and very protective of their family. A pair is resident in the hills and builds their nest there each spring. As we watched the male was gently following the female. He was uttering a soft call and this attracted another male. They squared up for a few minuets and the dominant male landed on the tallest tree with a regal air, laying claim to his territory. Later on as I ate lunch in the car in Patrick's avenue I spotted the young make again. He picked up some bread and flew up to the nearest TV aerial. He looked around for several minuets without eating his food. He was probably looking for the female and hopping that a present might win her over. email@example.com
Wheelers & Triathlon
A busy week indeed it has been for the club.

Land's End, from the creators of Monument Valley, coming exclusively to Samsung Gear VR
Credit: ustwo
Imagine going inside of Monument Valley, the dreamy and well-regarded mobile puzzler.
That's what inspired the studio behind Monument Valley, ustwo, to create its first title for virtual reality headsets like the Samsung Gear VR.
According to a preview the studio provided to Wired, the game makers said they wanted to re-imagine what it would be like to play Monument Valley from inside the game.
However, the team quickly decided they couldn't copy the same approach as Monument Valley, which focuses on sharp, 180-degree turns that don't properly translate to a virtual world.
"It's great when you're looking at the iPad, but it's slightly vomit-inducing when you're in VR," Dan Gray, a producer for Land's End, told Wired.
To mitigate that, the team re-thought how the game should play. They came up with a 360-degree world that keeps much of the same aesthetic of Monument Valley. You must play through a shipwreck and solve puzzles in order to find your way out of each situation.
The game shows a lot of promise, and offers a nice break from other titles that are focused on first-person shooters and other high-intensity action.
Land's End is set for release on Oct. 30 and will be available via the Oculus store on Gear VR.
Why this matters: Seeing a studio behind a wildly successful mobile game is an exciting development for VR gaming. The preview also illustrates how we're entering a new type of game, as designers have to think differently about game design in VR.

Teen Attacks Berlin Pedestrians; 25 Hurt
By MELISSA EDDY
BERLIN - A knife-wielding man went on a rampage and attacked pedestrians as they left a Berlin celebration early Saturday, wounding 25 people, four seriously, police said.The 17-year-old suspected attacker, a German native of Berlin's working-class Neukoelln district, was arrested, police spokesman Bernhard Schodrowski told The Associated Press. None of the injured are in life-threatening condition, Schodrowski said.
The teen had mingled with crowds a couple of hours after a sound and light show inaugurating Berlin's new central rail station in the heart of the capital when he began to randomly attack people. Eleven ambulances were called to the scene, Schodrowski said.
The attack came amid a rash of racially motivated crimes, including several in Berlin, that have raised concern about security two weeks before Germany hosts the soccer World Cup.
No motive for the attack was known, Schodrowski said, although the teen was known to police for previous acts of violence. It was not clear if the he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Schodrowski said.
According to ARD television panic broke out among the crowd in the narrow residential street where the attack occurred and 100 police officers were called to the scene to bring things under control.
Several hundred thousand onlookers had packed the city center to watch the festive inaugurating of the city's new main train station, touted as the largest in Europe and the final major construction project for the German capital's government sector.
Chancellor Angela Merkel attended the opening ceremonies several hours before the attack and praised the new, light-flooded station as a symbolic bridge between Germany's formerly divided east and west.
A special high-speed express train became the first to enter the station, kicking off the opening event.
"It is a modern, open building, symbolic for Berlin and for Germany," said Merkel. The station straddles the path of the former Berlin Wall, that divided the city during the Cold War.
The multilayered Hauptbahnhof, or main station - complete with shopping mall - sits atop a new north-south tunnel through Berlin, leading national railway Deutsche Bahn to boast that "Europe is growing together here."
Construction took eight years and has cost an estimated $1 billion. Some 300,000 passengers a day are expected to use the station's 14 platforms.
The station is situated close to the Reichstag parliament building and the new chancellery.
It opens for regular service Sunday less than two weeks before the soccer World Cup begins.
Authorities earlier reported a surge of attacks in the east part of the country, underlining concern over hate crimes two weeks before the start of the World Cup, the world's largest sporting event. The first round begins June 9 and runs through the 23rd.

Welcome back to my bookshelf! Continuing along the short shelf, and continuing with Edward Eager books, we've got one of my absolute favorite books from childhood to experience today.
The fourth in a series of children's books by Edward Eager, The Time Garden is easily my favorite of the six. Four children, the children from Knight's Castle (book two), go on their second magical adventure. As with the others, it's a seasonal adventure. They discover a thyme garden full of magical thyme herbs, all of various types. Their somewhat-guide through the garden is a talking toad (as I remember it, could be a different animal), and not the most reliable of hosts. Until the thyme is ripe, they can go on all sorts of adventures through history, never knowing for certain where they will land, but knowing a little about the sort of adventure they will have based on the type of thyme they choose.
Being the fan of history that I am, and admittedly a huge fan of well-done time travel, this is easily my favorite Edward Eager tale. The children travel to the American Revolution, helping Paul Revere spread the word that the British are coming. They also go back to the Civil War era, helping a couple of runaway slaves through the Underground Railroad.
Perhaps the best episode, however, is where these four children go back in time to an event that happens in the previous book, Magic by the Lake, where they help their own parents out of a pickle on their own magical adventure. It's not only a great tie-in, but it's a charming idea, since readers who read in sequence would have already known that the children helping out were the future children of the initial children (got that?), but hadn't figured out how it all worked until they got to The Time Garden.
As with the other Edward Eager books, this is a magical, charming, enchanting children's book that really is a wonderfully written, interesting read. This one is also very intelligent, and the beautiful thing about these book is how much you learn about and explore all sorts of things just by reading about four children having a magical adventure.

Buy Now a Research Paper
An individual seeking to buy a research paper now should understand that he must opt for the custom writing services offered by a reputable company over services that simply offer file copies. It is true that file copies can be a lot cheaper than the custom written ones, but in the end, the file copies are quite useless. This is why it is important that a college or graduate school student takes the time to evaluate the writing company he has chosen before he signs up for academic writing services. If he decided to buy a research paper now without even doing some background research, then he can be led to a waste of money, or worse, to the destruction of his academic or career reputation.
The main concern of such individuals should be to pay for custom writing services that lead him to a well-written and original piece of work that is not copied in part or whole from anywhere else. He should learn which companies are best avoided if he does not want to end up with a research paper that is copied or written poorly. This is essentially important to people with decent academic goals, especially since a plagiarized paper will get him nowhere.
If you are intending to buy a research paper now because you need to complete your subject or school requirements, be sure to take the time and effort to search for a reputable and trustworthy custom writing company. Do not be easily influenced by flashy ads or by dirt cheap prices because you might also end up with a research paper that can get you low grades or a tarnished reputation.
One way to ensure this is by choosing a company that has a solid and trustworthy reputation in producing premium original work. Also, it would be in one's best interests to actually ask a company about their no reselling policy. You should only sign up for a custom writing order once this policy is written in solid rock and if the company can assure you that their writers follow the rule to the T.
