So this week I'm faced with a situation I haven't had in front of me in, well, as long as I've been married… at least as long as I've had kids in my life. This week Cat is up in Maine with Zach. I have my normal work going on during the day, but noRead More

There are times when I want to take an axe to Eclipse. Today's particular grief is due to the XML editor. There are numerous faults with it (one of the biggest is that it 'captures' the control-pgup and control-pgdn keys into local tabs, so if you have an XML file open, and you use theRead More
Weird Ways of Working
I was gone all weekend on a wonderful camping trip, hence the radio silence. Today I'm back in the saddle, and faced with an annoying situation with my home setup.

Revisiting old code, and Good decisions made
Over 5 years ago, I began work on an application called CONGO, a registration and badging system, not only in the vein of "There's gotta be a better way", but also to help out a friend who was running registration at con in Philadelphia. The first versions of CONGO were crude, but worked well –Read More
And now, a word from my day job.
I don't talk about my day job much. For those outside of the Java Geeky circles, it's pretty dull stuff. But today has been particularly active, so I thought I'd share some of the bits I learned while teaching myself the wonders of Struts. This can best be summed up by the following revelations… 1)Read More
Coconut gets a facelift
Ever since I first wrote Coconut, the web interface to CONGO, I've been using the same stylesheet. It was really my first foray into stylesheet-driven design and layout, and while it was a good first try, it was ugly as sin. Last night I finally sat down to rewrite the stylesheet into something reasonably attractive.Read More
Dear Intarweb…
Somewhere, back in the mists of UI design, some bright light came up with the idea of making options in an application or desktop environment selectable by using a mouse to point at a menu along the top of a work area, clicking on the menu, and having it present more options. This was calledRead More
Zorching Memory Leaks. I Am Teh Stud
Tonight, I am Da Man. It's rare I get to sit down and see, so directly, a problem in the code I'm working on. In this case, while running at Ubercon the other weekend, I noticed that CONGO was showing every sign of a memory leak. After a while I'd get sluggish performance, and eventuallyRead More

A Peek Under the Covers – Windows XP Registry Keys
While working on my current Java project, I needed to better understand how the Preferences API stores data.

Windows as a useable Java development environment?
Recently I had to spend a fair amount of time working on CONGO on a Windows XP platform.

Updating Jarindex
Grump. I had no idea, but Jarindex was not working at all. Searches were coming up blank.

Known on radio as Aneta-Chinsell, Chineye Aneta Felix is in love with arts. While growing up, she admired the voices from the strange box called a 'radio' and was the talker of the house. So it was no surprise that she got her first job at 13, working as a radio presenter for a teen program called 'Young World' on Raypower FM, Lagos
Her passion for the media fueled her to volunteer working for her school's radio station, Uniben FM, and as an intern for Vibes FM, while in school. She hosted events on and off campus, including albums launching, a talent show, and was a red carpet host for many more events.
She graduated in 2015 among the best 20 students from the Department of International Studies and Diplomacy, University of Benin.
She joined Vibes FM as a full staff in November 2015 as the co-host of the drive time show, 052 TRAFFIC.
She continues to influence the media as a karaoke host, a spoken word poet and writer for Tush Magazine.

Think about someone whom you respect with everything in your heart, almost whom you radically respect. Reflect upon their actions, their values, the way they care for others and themselves, the choices they make and the manner in which they communicate with others. What do you notice? What stands out for you about the way in which they embody self respect that 'demands' you respect them?
A key destroyer to self respect is a lack of personal boundaries and standards. Personal boundaries and standards, when effective, communicates, among other things, to others how we wish to be treated, who we are and the responsibility we take for our lives. Over the past 20 years of working with people, I have heard hundreds of stories of wounds and hurt that people carry in which their core sense of dignity and respect have been compromised, violated or disregarded.
Clearly, when children are abused, neglected and repeatedly traumatized by the lives of shame and abuse from their parents, guardians and trusted elders, learning the standards and practices of self-respect is negligible and non-existent. Like cancer, if these same children grow up and don't get the healing they require, they may spread this shame of disrespect and abuse to others, only now it begins to multiply. Other times, there are those who have become so accustomed to low self-esteem, they simply fall into patterns of weak boundaries that end up sabotaging the very goals they are working so hard to accomplish. Developing self respect is a key healing balm to transmute our shame and low self worth.
Spiritually, self-respect is necessary to experience our inner potential and to fulfill our purpose or deep meaning in life. To contribute to the betterment of our world and to restore wholeness to our planet, we need to begin to grow our self respect. Here are four key standards of self respect which authenticate your life and strengthen your spirituality.
1. Value and Honour yourself
Although we know we need to value and honour our needs, our dreams and our goals if we are to respect ourselves, actually following through as though we are required by a Divine standard for ourselves is a choice we often justify away. To deeply value myself, my proper nutrition, my body health, my mind's well-being and my spirit's nourishing would be as fundamental to me as putting gas in the car to make sure I could get from point A to B. And yet, how often does the gas in the car get first priority? Valuing and honouring ourselves means that we need to treat our whole selves, our inner core with dignity, a key standard of respect. On a scale of 1-10, where do you put yourself? Where would you like to be and what do you need to transform to respect yourself as you would like?
2. Be Honest and Live your Principles
Many of us deeply value honesty, and trust those who are truthful. What I am often struck with, however, is what it means to be honest and truthful with myself. If I am only aware of my ego understanding of life, then I cannot be honest. I will be untruthful, no matter how hard I attempt to behave honestly. To be honest and truthful means I need to be connected, aware and growing in the presence and light of my soul, my inner deepest heart/mind. The challenge to be truthful is not just about what we say. Rather, and more importantly, being honest requires that our words, our actions, our intentions, our energy and our spiritual being flow with integration and coherence. This process is a daily commitment to oneself and to the principles we live by regardless of what life presents us.
Seeking to become more soulfully honest naturally and eloquently raises our standard of self respect. What new question can you pose to yourself that would forward your truth from within your inner being?
3. Trust your Inner Wisdom
We all have deep knowledge and gut instincts about what is good and beneficial for us. We have been trained to ignore these signals, body cues and insights and instead, to give credibility and authority to our thinking rationales. Of course, I believe reason and insight or intuition both can harmoniously work together for our greater good. However, they are to be in balance and work as a dialectic tension with one another. We frame our lives and our thinking in binary, dualistic fashion so often that we neglect our own inner wisdom to guiding us forward.
Our bodies are a powerful communicator about what is beneficial and what is destructive for us. And yet, because we have weak standards of self valuing and honouring, we miss the key signals that point us to our truth, our wisdom and the way forward in our lives. Without trusting our inner wisdom, our standard of respect will rarely mature and support us in the difficult moments of our lives and relationships.
What is the insight you have been disregarding and rationalizing away, that if you listened would provide the breakthrough you are seeking?
4. Act with Courage to Change
Here we encounter the stumbling blocks of most stumbling blocks—the courage to change. To claim our courage is to seek our unknown potential. Respect truly builds and grounds within us when we take action toward our potential, and that means we must be aligned with and open to Spirit. Potential is a Higher Power when we choose potential that promotes our joy, peace and goodwill to all sentient beings.
The Chinese character 'chaos' is depicted as a new plant breaking the ground and is translated "where dreams begin." In other words, the beginning is often difficult and requires us to change our habits and mindsets and perhaps even release old relationships and seek new ones. Such changes create fear in us so intense sometimes that we cannot see the success of the positive results and we turn back to where we came or become frozen in a sense of failure. The courage to change brings into focus the other 3 standards and as a coherent set of standards has the power to transform the very essence of our joy and the path we walk to manifest it. Deep self respect demands our courage to act.
What metaphor of SELF RESPECT can your Inner Wisdom create that is so powerful, strong and wise, you literally change a weak and destructive pattern in your life and relationships?
If self respect is an area you would like to improve, consider studying with me and learning about boundaries, peace-building conversations or about deep love in any of my workshops. I would love to study it with you and facilitate a powerful opportunity for you to transform your present relationships.

A bookkeeper is actually almost just like an accountant but is not an accountant. That is right thus you should not mistake a bookkeeper as an accountant. However, they have almost the same roles though an accountant has more complex job descriptions compared to a bookkeeper and this is the reason why, he is also more expensive. For this reason, if you have just a small business to run, you don't really need an accountant but you can just settle for a bookkeeper. This way, you don't need to pay high just for someone who will keep your books.
Though a bookkeeper is quite important in every business but he might not become an asset if you will end up with an incompetent one. This is why, you should be careful in choosing a bookkeeper and create a kind of standard to refer to. If you need tips, you can check for them below:
– He must be professionally competent not only on his looks, but most of all, on his capabilities. You see, bookkeeping is a professional work. One must have technical knowledge to be more useful and effective in his client.
– He must be resourceful. When you are dealing with a business, you can expect that there will be a lot of downtimes financially. One of the tasks of a bookkeeper is to be resourceful so that he can right away suggest what department can cover up with the losses of another department. This is why, he must be well versed with all the financial aspects of the business he is handling.
– He must be transparently honest. There are times when a bookkeeper will keep the records from the owner especially if there are problems thinking he has done him a good deed and thinking that the business can just recover after sometime. However, most of the time, the business can't recover and because they owner is not even aware of the financial turmoil, he won't even take some precautions or take any necessary solutions until it is too late. Instead, he should divulge even the slightest problem right away and will just assist the owner in making solutions when the need will arise.
– He should be client focused. Though the fee will of course matter as this is also his livelihood, but still he must take his client's case as his own. His first concern should be the wellness of the client's business so that its success will also be his success. Besides, if the client will go bankrupt, he can also lose him thus you should look for a bookkeeper in Brisbane that will make you his top priority.
Bookkeeping is a very important job. Thus a business owner should choose one with caution especially that this will concern the financial flow of his business. Note that there are so any bookkeepers around already but only a few can deliver properly. This is why, you must make sure you end up with one of those few.

ROUND REVIEW: MKS Perla Lublin became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the Women's Challenge Cup.
Lublin to semi-final, Lokomotiva close
As the first team, MKS Perla Lublin are ready for the semi-final of the Women's Challenge Cup, while reigning champions HC Lokomotvia Zagreb and Swedish Kristianstad Handball Klubb are close to qualifying too. That is the situation after the quarter-final matches last weekend.
The first leg on Friday night became just as exciting as it was low-scoring. After 11:11 at half-time, Malaga could book a narrow 19:18 win in the Ciudad deportiva Carranque.
The tension was therefore obvious before the second leg Sunday in the same venue.
The first half of the match on Sunday morning was just as equal as the first leg had been, Malaga leading narrowly 10:9 at half-time.
The last 30 minutes belonged completely to the Polish visitors, however.
By winning the second half with eight goals, Lublin won 27:20 and left no doubt that they were the ones to book the ticket for the semi-final.
Ardesen were leading 14:12 at half-time, but in the last 30 minutes, the European debutants from Southern Sweden reversed the tide and win by three. In fact, it was a Turkish player who formed the largest problem for Ardesen. Left back Asli Iskit scored 10 goals for Kristianstad.
Sunday, the Croatian team won the first leg as clearly as 26:17 at home against Dutch Virto/Quintus.
Lokomotiva soon established a six-goal lead, and after also being six goals up at half-time, 13:7, the home team increased their lead to 10 goals at 24:14 and 25:15, and the nine-goal lead they take with them to the Netherlands also appears reassuring.

Sharron Antholt's "Transept of a Memory" looks like a Dutch genre painting as interpreted by Edward Hopper. The interior of a room with a series of small niches, opening onto a smaller room with one window, suggests on the surface a neat domestic scene. It is painted with attention to detail down to the floor squares.
But there's something about the dark shadows contrasting with the light-filled window at the back, and the emptiness of the space, that speaks of someone gone -- and gone in the sense, the viewer knows, of death. Ms. Antholt's formidable paintings in the current three-artist show at Maryland Art Place are pervaded by loneliness and death whether the imagery is specific or not.
Sometimes it is: "darkly, for we cannot steer and have no port" shows a burning bier, with a body on it, floating down a river. "The Smell of Ashes," on the other hand, refrains from specificity; it's just an empty boat beached on the shore. How we know this is the boat that carries souls across the river Styx is something of a mystery, but we know.

From Laura Courtright Burns Director of Family Ministries and Campus Minister at UWSP
It's berry season! One of the joys of summer in Central Wisconsin is what seems to be an endless supply of fresh local berries of one sort or another. On an early Sunday morning a few weeks ago, I prepared bowls of strawberries in the quiet kitchen of the Plover church building. As I cleaned and cut the berries to share at the first Waffle Church, my thoughts and prayers were on the new worship service and the people who would gather for worship that morning. Excitement came as the waffle cooks arrived. Excitement and joy as I saw the coffee being poured and butter placed in dishes and people happily greeting each other as they gathered for worship. Waffle Church was happening! Worship designed for people of all ages with music; music that is taught, not read from a hymnal or screen. It was happening with Scripture and a message for all ages, and opportunities for sharing and praise and creativity and prayer. It was happening around God's Open Table where ALL are welcome!

Here is a lucite tile replicating a drawing by Pablo Picasso, 1881-1973, entitled: At The Beach I. It is number 15 from The Modern Classics Series, circa 1960's, made by Modern Classics, Inc. of New York. The tile is white lucite with black lines. It is mounted on black hardboard with cord for hanging. 8.5" x 10.5". According to information taped to the back, Picasso was still living when this tile was made. Since he died in 1973, we can assume that the tiles were produced prior to 1973. Slight loss of black finish along edges of hardboard could be easily re-painted if so desired. Tile shows some wear to black lines, most noticeable at both bottom corners.

The right label for food packaging – from HERMA
Foodstuffs are packaged in a wide variety of materials: paper, cardboard, shrink film, plastic and metal. Labelling is often performed under very difficult conditions. The products may have moist and cold surfaces or already be deep-frozen. Some products are cooled after hot filling. Depending on the product, the surface can also be greasy – sausage is an example. Here it is necessary to use strong adhesives selected for the given application.
Approval for use with foodstuffs, low migration
Often it is very important to use low-migration adhesives, label materials, inks and varnishes. This is especially necessary when food is packaged in film with insufficient barrier properties.
We produce a broad range of adhesive materials that are approved for contact with foodstuffs. Let us find you an effective and economically attractive solution for labelling your packaged foodstuffs or frozen products: blank labels for direct thermal printing, thermal transfer printing or laser printing; or labels printed with low-migration inks using flexographic printing or laser printing. You can easily overprint them on your premises with individual information such as weight, best-before date and price, or add numbers and barcodes.
What challenges do you have to tackle?
Use our contact form. We'll be glad to provide advice.
HERMA advantages:
- Low-migration label materials, adhesives and inks. With BfR and FDA certification as well as ISEGA approval for use with fatty foodstuffs.
- Label material with high tack and secure final adhesion
- Insensitivity to moist and cold surfaces (condensation)
- Suitability for pasteurisation, steam sterilisation and autoclaving
- Suitability for application to frozen goods and later storage
- Suitability for non-contact labelling of uneven surfaces (blow-on labelling)

Great job putting such great array of information with appropriate reference. I have no formal education in prehistory. However, since I was 5 years old, I began to wonder where did i come from, which eventually took the shape of wondering about the experience of life. I have written a book, The Enigmatic Brain Reveals, which explains the neurological basis of human experience. But it is just an aspect of human experience. The other avenue is the historical perspective. I have read your blog with great interest, to get myself educated, but not to plagiarize. I am working on writing another one on the brief history of human perspective. I am also taking online courses from the University of Wisconsin-Madison under Professor John Hawks. Hopefully, I will gather enough education to learn to find the right works and quotes to come up with my writing. Yours have been a great resource. I thank you for putting this blog. Very enriching.

Protesters urge officials to buy sugar lands south of Lake Okeechobee
Protesters urge officials to buy sugar lands south of Lake Okeechobee
Dozens of people protested outside South Florida Water Management Headquarters, urging officials to back a plan allowing state lawmakers to buy thousands of acres of land south of Lake Okeechobee.
Lawmakers have until October to the nearly 50,000 acres of land owned by sugar corporations.
Activists, fed up with toxic discharges along the Treasure Coast, said buying the land will allow the Army Corps of Engineers to release water from Lake Okeechobee south, instead of east into the Indian River Lagoon.
Former Martin County commissioner Maggy Hurchalla said the land needs to be appraised because lawmakers must buy it at market value.
Protesters said they want lawmakers to to get an appraisal during the current legislative session.

There are definitely certain foods which those are of the Jewish faith are allowed to eat and those which they are not, and snake meat falls under the latter category. Some of the other similar types of organisms which are not considered to be kosher include shrimp, catfish, frog, crab, octopus, oyster, snail, and sturgeon.
Typically when one goes to a kosher butcher in their area, they are offered the same types of meats, usually consisting of lamb, beef, and chicken. Snakes are most definitely considered to be a non-kosher food for those who strictly follow the religion of Judaism.

The following article appeared on Flopping Aces on August 19th
By Dr. John
Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) is introducing articles of impeachment against Donald Trump because Trump won't suspend the Constitutional rights of the alt-right.
Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced Thursday he is introducing articles of impeachment against President Trump following the violence in Virginia.
Mr. Cohen, a Democrat, said Mr. Trump failed the "presidential test of moral leadership" in the wake of the bloody clashes between white nationalist groups and rival protesters in Charlottesville.
"I have expressed great concerns about President Trump's ability to lead our country in the Resolution of No Confidence (H.Res. 456) that I introduced in July with 29 of my colleagues; however, after the President's comments on Saturday, August 12 and again on Tuesday, August 15 in response to the horrific events in Charlottesville, I believe the President should be impeached and removed from office," Mr. Cohen said in a release.
"Instead of unequivocally condemning hateful actions by neo-Nazis, white nationalists and Klansmen following a national tragedy, the President said 'there were very fine people on both sides,'" he said. "There are no good Nazis. There are no good Klansmen."
That of course is hyperbolic, highly inflammatory and outright false. We have already shown that there were people not Neo-Nazis or Klansmen who were in Charlottesville to protest the removal of statuary. From the NY Times, no less. His words of "moral leadership" are hollow and vapid. Cohen asserts that Trump cannot discern the difference between a Nazi and a protester.
He added, "What happened in Charlottesville showed that the president can't discern the difference between a domestic terrorist and a protester. He can't distinguish between citizens, Americans who are objecting to abhorrent behavior of Klansmen and Nazis and Nazis and Nazis and Klansmen. That demonstration in
Charlottesville reminded me of Kristallnacht in 1938 in Germany. It reminded me of Klan rallies with the torches. Those people were yelling, 'Jews will not take our jobs.' They do not like African-Americans. They don't like Jews. They don't like America."
Not liking someone is not the same as killing them. I am no apologist for the alt-right but wow this is over the top rhetoric. The Neo-Nazis have yet to start killing any religious group en masse and the Klan wouldn't get very far trying to lynch anyone today. The last time it did happen the Klan paid dearly for it:
The murder of Michael Donald in Mobile, Alabama in 1981 was the last recorded lynching in the United States.[1][2] Several Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members beat and killed Michael Donald, a young African-American man, and hung his body from a tree. One perpetrator, Henry Hays, was sentenced to death and executed in 1997, while another, James Knowles, was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty and testifying against Hays. A third man was convicted as an accomplice, and a fourth indicted but he died before his case could be completed at trial.
The execution of Hays was the first in Alabama since 1913 for a white-on-black crime. It was the only execution of a KKK member during the 20th century for the murder of an African-American.[3] Donald's mother brought a civil suit for wrongful death against the United Klans of America (UKA), to which the attackers belonged. In 1987 a jury awarded her damages of $7 million, which bankrupted the organization. This set a precedent for civil legal action for damages against other racist hate groups.
The irony is that it is Cohen who lost his grip. The media would have you believe that the protesters in Charlottesville were all clergy members and peaceful students. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
And do not be distracted from the accusation that Trump considers both the alt-right and the counter protesters to be "equal." They clearly are not but short of committing a crime, they are equal under the law. It is irritating but not surprising that the media is not in the least interested in this concept. The President did condemn the violence but the truth is that both sides were involved in the violence and it was the counter protesters who sparked the violence when they attempted to physically block the alt-right from lawfully entering the park. I have yet to see this mentioned anywhere in the media. There were two earlier protests in Charlottesville that went on without any major conflict.
What was different this time?
If you look at the pictures of the earlier rallies, you'll see something you didn't see in this latest event- police presence in the middle of the event. The police in the most recent episode are absent. They were on the sidelines watching. They were not proactive. They were barely even active. The National Guard had been mobilized but they were also held back.
That's because Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Mayor Michael Signer wanted conflict. Heather Heyer paid for that with her life. Now the blame is being placed on the alt-right and Donald Trump and don't you dare try to argue with facts. Cohen and the left now want to exact revenge for the loss of the election. The way this is going, they won't be satisfied until all of the alt-right are interned in concentration camps. After all, democrats are no strangers to internment.
You might notice that Cohen has more than a passing resemblance to Heinrich Himmler. The irony abounds.

Using Spell Check
Form Filler
After editing it is useful to check the spelling of any new text added. You can check the spelling of words in three ways:
- check just the words in a text selection
- check words in active text blocks
- check the whole document (if there is no active text block)
The spell check dialogue box is accessed from Edit > Check Spelling... menu or by pressing the F7 function key.
The Spelling Dialogue Box
Misspelled word is shown here.
Type corrections here
Ignore this word and move onto next suspect.
Ignore this word for the rest of the check.
Adds suspect word to user dictionary (See Appendix, "Custom Spelling Dictionaries")
Replace suspect word with correctly spelled alternative.
Replace suspect word for correctly spelled alternative this time and every other time for this checking session.
Double-click on a suggestion to make the change or single-click then press Change All.
Language used for spell check. Can be changed from File > Preferences... menu.
Start the spell check by choosing Edit > Check Spelling... or press F7.

You can type a new word into the Change To: box or select one of the words Infix has suggested then press Change.
When the selected text has been checked, you will be asked if you wish to check the rest of the PDF.
- See Fonts In PDF for details of how fonts can effect the editing of text.
- Be careful when changing text in paragraphs with unusual shapes (such as those that flow around graphics). When the paragraphs are reflowed, their layout may be lost. See Advanced Editing for methods of dealing with this.
- If the words shown in the Suspect: window seem garbled or include strange characters it indicates that the text cannot be extracted correctly from the PDF. This is caused by improper encoding of the PDF's fonts and cannot be remedied with Infix.
- You can edit the contents of the spelling dictionary - see Custom Spelling Dictionaries.
- Infix will warn you if the replacement text cannot be rendered in the font used by the misspelled text. In this case, you may have to choose a different font for the text.
- Words that include numbers cannot be learnt by the spell checker. You can however, skip checking such words using the Ignore All button.

LONDON — StudioCanal has set a March 8 theatrical release date for the U.K. premiere of Michael Winterbottom's "The Look of Love," a biopic based on porn maverick and real estate mogul Paul Raymond.
British comedic actor Steve Coogan ("Tropic Thunder") plays Raymond in the film. He tells EmpireOnline.com, "It's a very British story about an eccentric character at the center of pivotal events in British culture.
"I love the film. It has that strange combination of comedy and tragedy that Michael Winterbottom manages to pull off with a real deftness of touch. Oh and there's lots of naked ladies in it too!"
Raymond was the founder of numerous adult publications, including Club International and Mayfair. He introduced the first fully nude strip club, The Raymond Revuebar, to London in the 1960s.
He was later dubbed the "King of Soho" after investing his fortune in real estate, purchasing numerous properties in London's Soho neighborhood.
"The Look of Love" was originally titled "The King of Soho." Winterbottom was forced to change the project's name when Raymond's son Howard revealed in July that he had trademarked the title for a Paul Raymond biopic he is producing with "Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston in the lead.

Preview Abstract Abstract
John Kline
(Los Alamos National Laboratory)
The first implosion experiments using Beryllium (Be) capsules have been conducted at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to confirm the superior ablation properties and to elucidate possible Be-ablator issues. Since the 1990s, Be has been the preferred Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) ablator because of its higher mass ablation rate compared to that of carbon-based ablators. This enables ICF target designs with higher implosion velocities and improved hydrodynamic stability through greater ablative stabilization. Recent experiments to demonstrate the viability of Be ablator target designs have measured the laser energy backscatter, shock velocities, capsule implosion velocity, core implosion shape from self-emission, and in-flight capsule shape from backlit imaging. The laser backscatter is similar to that from comparable plastic (CH) targets. Implosion velocity measurements from backlit streaked radiography show that laser energy coupling to the hohlraum wall is comparable, if not better, for Be than for plastic ablators. The measured implosion shape indicates no significant reduction of laser energy from the inner laser cone beams reaching the hohlraum wall as compared with plastic and high-density carbon ablators. These results demonstrate good coupling of laser energy to the target and control over the implosion shape indicating the feasibility of Be capsule design opening up a larger design space for ICF. In addition, this data, together with data for low fill-density hohlraum performance, indicates that laser power multipliers, required to reconcile simulations with experimental observations, are likely due to our limited understanding of the hohlraum rather than the capsule physics since similar multipliers are needed for both Be and CH capsules.

The Professor and the Siren (1961)
Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1896-1957)
Translated from the Italian by Stephen Twilley
69 pages
Only in the final two years of his life did aristocrat Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa turn to writing fiction, all of which was first published only after his death. Three of his short stories, newly translated, have been published by the New York Review Books (NYRB) in The Professor and the Siren. Behind simple plot lines the stories reveal often unspoken truths contained within the daily vagaries and rituals of human behavior.
A young journalist in Turin retreats to an out-of-the-way café to nurse his wounded pride in the title story of the collection. His attempt to juggle two relationships has suddenly and awkwardly collapsed when his two girlfriends learn of one-another's existence, causing him to seek out an alternative to his normal haunts. Over repeated visits he becomes acquainted with another regular at the café, an aged fellow Sicilian, who turns out to be a famous professor of ancient Greek language and culture. The old man, cantankerous and rather misanthropic, gradually warms to his young acquaintance, eventually recounting a mystical experience of love from his youth that altered his life irrevocably. For the young man, the unexpectedly intimate story provides a deeper understanding of the professor's previously arbitrary and cruel opinions of his fellow man.
In "Joy and the Law," a poor worker who struggles to provide for his family unexpectedly receives a large fruitcake as a Christmas gift from his boss. He rushes eagerly home to share the treat with his wife and kids, only to discover that society's demands have their own ineluctable claim on his treasured bounty.
The final story, "The Blind Kittens," opens with the purchase of a plot of land by an avaricious Sicilian land-owner. Expanding on the lands inherited from his father --- who had turned a small homestead into an extensive set of holdings --- the landowner shows little interest in improving the land or its infrastructure, single-mindedly focused on increasing the size of his family's estate. His jealous carping and uninformed judgments of Sicilian noblemen, whose status he dimly perceives as beyond his reach, are matched only by their in-turn wildly exaggerated and dismissive opinions of a man they consider hopelessly below their level. In this short piece Lampedusa deftly skewers the provincialism and pettiness of his countrymen --- and their counterparts everywhere.
The book includes an introduction that provides background on Lampedusa, and insight into the themes and settings of the stories. The title story is clearly the gem of the collection, a wonderful tale of mythical love. Though the remaining two stories are less fully developed, they are engaging in their own right, for the peek they provide into the human soul. Reading these stories, I was reminded of a quote from the French author Germaine de Stael:
Someday perhaps someone will speak with absolute sincerity about all the things he has felt, and the world will be astounded to find that most of its maxims and observations are mistaken, and that there is an unknown soul at the center of that soul about which all the stories are told.

Anime worth watching[edit]
The anime series which I have watched on-line from beginning to end more than once include:
"Now and Then, Here and There", "Future Diary", "Elfen Lied", "Wizard Barristers", "The Devil Is a Part-Timer!", "Birdy the Mighty", "Kamisama Kazoku", "Ōkami Kakushi", "Kobato", "Yu-Shibu", and "Tsuki ga Kirei".
I now find on-line manga (actually mostly manhwa) more interesting than anime. English versions of these are available at Webtoons. Currently, I am following:
"Kubera", "Tower of God", "Lavender Jack", "Hardcore Leveling Warrior", "Rise from Ashes", "Elf & Warrior", "Refund High School", "April Flowers", "Athena Complex", "Gosu", "Siren's Lament", "Age Matters", "Magician", "Cheese in the Trap", "My Dear Cold-Blooded King", "Lumine", "Aerial Magic", and "Odd Girl Out".
No mercy, but karma[edit]
I believe in karma, that is, the law of cause and effect. Your actions have consequences which affect you. What goes around comes around. The chickens come home to roost. If you do good things (whether you know it or not, intend it or not), it will tend to benefit you. If you do bad things (whether you know it or not, intend it or not), it will tend to hurt you. The hard part is to figure out which acts are good and which are evil.
Karma needs no one's help to achieve its effects. And trying to shield another from them will only bring bad karma upon you. Lying creates bad karma. If telling the truth is unacceptable, then remain silent. Silence should not be interpreted as implying agreement, disagreement, or any other thing.
Laissez faire capitalism[edit]
A free economy based on private property tends to correct itself by the process of natural selection. Any attempt by a government planner to manage the economy will necessarily be misguided due to his limited knowledge and the destructive force necessary to attempt such management. Invariably the attempt will damage the economy and work against the interests of everyone including the intended beneficiaries.
All entitlement programs (obamacare, social security, medicare, medicaid, welfare, etc.) should be repealed immediately because they are: outside the proper functions of government, promoters of dependency, too costly, and unsustainable.
Government decision making[edit]
Officers and employees of the government should take care not to do anything which violates natural rights or is otherwise unethical, even if legally commanded to do so. Ethics takes precedence over positive law. It is better to resign one's position than to become an accomplice to official criminality.
Legislators should not support a bill which would harm an innocent person regardless of the benefits provided by the bill.
In elections for a single position (e.g. president, governor, mayor, attorney general), approval voting should be used to maximize the proportion of the voters who are satisfied with the result.
To improve government, we need to improve our elected officials. To improve our elected officials, we need to improve the voters. How do we select more rational voters? Possibilities include: making sure that they take their vote seriously by requiring that they pay a poll "tax"; and testing their intelligence, perhaps by seeing whether they can solve hard Sudoku problems with just paper and pencil.
The secret ballot should be abolished, it is an invitation to fraud and it tends to defeat the purpose of elections which is to get a transparent measure of the strength of the two sides without a civil war.
The Constitution should be amended to make it easier to repeal laws than to enact new ones.
Government financing[edit]
Governments with their agencies, officers, and employees should be judged by the same standards applied to private businesses and ordinary people. The same laws should apply to both.
Taxes are payments which are extorted from people by threatening to deprive them of their natural rights if they fail to pay. Taxes should be abolished. Instead government should be financed by voluntary user fees, that is, payments which are made as a condition for receiving a service from the government which it is not otherwise obliged to provide.
Taxes (which should be abolished) include: the personal income tax (including the alternative minimum tax, capital gains tax, etc.), the corporate income tax, the payroll tax (FICA and self-employment taxes which support Social Security), excise taxes (e.g. on gasoline and cigarettes), death taxes, gift taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, business licensing fees (when a license is required to do business, which it should not be), tariffs on imported goods, etc.. In Europe and other places where it exists, the value added tax (VAT) should be abolished.
Permissible types of user fees include: tolls for driving on government owned roads, tuition for attending government owned schools (but truancy laws should be repealed), court costs when suing another, a poll "tax" for voting in a government election (like membership dues), a stamp "tax" for treating a contract as enforceable by the government (stamp applied to contract at signing), fees for connecting to government owned water or sewer systems, fees for any special police protection or investigation you request, etc..
Contrary to popular belief, spending per se is not good for the economy. Spending is only good for the economy when the money is spent by the person who earned it in order to sustain or increase his ability to continue the productive activities which earned it. Other spending competes with such proper sending and thus harms the economy.
Applying ethics to law[edit]
Generally, we already have too many laws. New laws are almost never the solution. Usually when there is a problem, either nothing can be done at the governmental level to improve the situation or else the thing which can be done is to stop doing something which the government should not be doing. Anything constructive which can be done through government can also (and more effectively) be done through the private sector. Government's only advantage is its overwhelming brute force, which is only good for suppressing the initiation of force by others.
There are two things I look for in trying to formulate a public policy: (1) The policy should not foreclose any options from people who understand what they are attempting and are willing to accept the risks, provided that it does not directly injure any third party. (2) And it should not create a moral hazard by rewarding bad behavior or by punishing any harmless action or inaction.
Humanity continues to undergo Darwinian evolution which proceeds much faster than most people realize. This must be considered when predicting the effects of any policy.
The baseline (zero-level) from which the ethics of action should be measured is non-existence (death). So inaction is always neutral. Action which creates values (sustains or increases human life) is positive (good). Action which destroys values (tends to kill people) is negative (evil). See The Virtue of Selfishness.
A business firm or other property exists only for the benefit of its owner(s). Any direct benefit to another person is merely a side-effect to which he has no right without the owner's consent.
Rights: substantive and procedural[edit]
Rights may be divided into two categories: substantive and procedural.
Your substantive rights protect what is yours: you may not be killed; your body may not be damaged; your movement may not be obstructed except to prevent you from touching the person or property of another without his consent; your property may not be altered; and you may not be tricked into harming your interests. There are two kinds of exceptions: (1) you may consent to an action by another person which would otherwise violate your rights, if you believe that in doing so you will achieve a greater value; and (2) if you violate another person's rights or attempt to do so, then force may be used against you to compel you to cease and desist and to repair any damage you did.
Procedural rights (rights to due process) are summarized in the fourth through eighth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. These limit what the government can do to enforce the law in pursuit of exception (2) above. Contrary to what many people believe, the purpose of procedural rights is not to protect criminals (except from excessive punishment in the eighth amendment). The purpose of procedural rights is to protect innocent people who may be caught up in the legal system due to an accident, such as mistaken identity, or to malicious accusations by enemies or authorities just looking to close cases by any means.
All these rights protect non-citizens as well as citizens because the purpose of granting such rights applies equally to both. "One has rights not by virtue of being an American, but by virtue of being human." — Harry Binswanger.
In war or insurrection, some of these protections must be relaxed because the legal system may not be able to safely and effectively separate the guilty from the innocent when many people are violently opposing its actions. In particular, the right to a speedy trial (in the sixth amendment) may be set aside temporarily by an act of Congress suspending the writ of habeas corpus until the emergency has passed and the courts are able to function again. Similarly, injunctions against military activities may be disallowed in war or insurrection.
An improper procedural "right"[edit]
In the sixth amendment, it says "the accused shall enjoy the right ... to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor". This sometimes requires the government to violate a potential witness's substantive rights. Thus it should be repealed. Neither the prosecution nor the defense should be able to force a person to testify against his will. However, a person who declines to testify should be disqualified from any position of public trust. Also, the common practice of forcing people to serve on juries violates their rights and should be stopped.
Using confessions as direct evidence of guilt is problematic. Sometimes authorities extract confessions from innocent people using torture, trickery, or intimidation. Sometimes innocent people are moved to make false confessions by mental illness. Sometimes authorities twist an accused person's statements to mean something which he did not intend. Thus I would prefer that confessions not be used as direct evidence of guilt. A confession might properly be used to provide leads which could result in finding other evidence of guilt (if the person is actually guilty). Also a confession might be used to impeach the testimony of the defendant, if he chooses to testify and provided that the defense is given complete video tapes of all interrogation of the defendant to provide context for the confession.
Evaluating ways of cutting taxes[edit]
From the best way to cut taxes to the worst:
- Repealing an entire tax.
- Making the methods of collection or enforcement less harsh.
- Removing a feature from the tax which adds to the amount, such as abolishing the alternative minimum tax or entirely excluding dividends from the individual income tax.
- Reducing the marginal rate of taxation in the highest bracket.
- Reducing the tax rate in lower brackets or shifting some taxpayers into lower brackets. Increasing the amount of the personal exemption or standard deduction.
- Removing exclusions from deductions, such as removing the subtraction of a portion of one's gross income from the amount deductible as medical expenses.
Tax refunds are actually government spending. They should be replaced by treating the over-payment as part of one's tax payment for the next year. Then the tax-payer could reduce his withholding or his estimated tax payments.
It is wrong to increase one person's taxes even as part of a plan to reduce or simplify taxes over-all.
Simplifying the legal code[edit]
The United States Code has become so long that it defies human comprehension. This is due, in part, to a ratchet effect in the legislative process. To break the ratchet and allow the law to be simplified, I suggest that to remain a law, a statute should have to have continuing support from both houses of congress. For example, the constitution could be amended as follows:
- 1. Without action by the Senate or the President, the House of Representatives may repeal any statute or title, chapter, section or subsection of a statute.
- 2. Without action by the House of Representatives or the President, the Senate may repeal any statute or title, chapter, section or subsection of a statute.
- 3. The repeal of a statute shall not be construed to re-enact any previous statute. When necessary and appropriate, common law shall apply.
Discrimination means making a distinction between one thing and another. "Discrimination" has come to have a bad connotation because it is usually used now to refer to invidious (irrational and unfair) discrimination between people. But rational discrimination is a necessity of life. Invidious discrimination is harmful to those who engage in it, and so it will tend to disappear naturally.
Congress passed laws against discrimination by private entities, justifying them as protecting the historically oppressed from invidious discrimination. However, these laws also restrict some rational discrimination. Further, it is not possible to force people to be rational. So the effect of these laws is harmful and they should be repealed.
Ironically, one cannot enforce the anti-discrimination laws without discriminating. How can one determine whether discrimination is occurring without classifying the affected people and comparing the proportions in each class of those receiving favored treatment with those receiving disfavored treatment?
Equality is not a value. Enforced equality is incompatible with: justice, freedom, prosperity, and even life itself. Equality is just a poor substitute for the principle that every action should serve a purpose.
Civil Rights Act of 1964[edit]
Titles II and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibit private entities from engaging in discrimination in public accommodations and employment respectively. These parts of the act should be repealed. Although such discrimination is usually invidious, a person has the right to choose not to associate with another person even if his choice is irrational and unethical. Also Title VII has been used to blackmail businesses who have unbalanced work forces through no fault of their own.
Ameliorating Obamacare[edit]
Every aspect of Obamacare is evil. Ideally, it should simply be repealed entirely, taking healthcare law back to what it was in 2008 or earlier. However, it now appears that the attempts to "repeal and replace" it have failed (at least until the situation gets much worse).
To achieve any amelioration, it appears that some support from Democrats will be required. Perhaps that could be obtained for something like this:
- permanently repeal the generally unpopular excise tax of 2.3% on medical devices;
- permanently repeal the tax on health insurance;
- permanently repeal the tax on prescription drugs; and
- permanently repeal the so-called "Cadillac" tax on generous employer-funded health insurance plans (this tax will hurt the labor unions, a key Democrat constituency).
All these changes benefit the middle class (and possibly the poor) and would tend to stabilize the health insurance markets. So hopefully they could get Democrat support. Notice that the effective dates of most of these taxes have already been postponed, some of them repeatedly.
Other issues[edit]
- When USG's debt is at or near the debt ceiling, war-related military spending, spending for programs which pay for themselves by earning revenue, and debt service should continue without delay and in full. All other authorized and appropriated spending should be delayed (in sequence) until sufficient additional revenue (beyond that needed for the above priorities) is available to fund it without borrowing beyond the debt ceiling. Congressmen should oppose any deal to increase (or suspend or abolish) the debt ceiling unless it includes language to implement these priorities and does not raise taxes.
- The United States should adopt unilateral free trade, that is, remove all its own restrictions on trade (tariffs, quotas, and other regulations on what can be imported) regardless of what other countries do. "Fair trade" is just a euphemism for protectionism. Restrictions on trade primarily hurt the people of the country imposing the restriction. Retaliatory tariffs merely punish importers and indirectly consumers in this country for misbehavior of officials in another country. How does that help?
- The same applies to exports and investments (in both directions). However, restrictions on sales and transfers of munitions to our enemies are OK.
- The precautionary principle is a recipe for insanity. It is giving in to mindless fear. Precautions should be based on actual evidence of the harmful effect of certain activities, not merely the absence of evidence.
- Focusing on the national government's budget deficits is a mistake, because the deficit is merely the difference between spending and taxes, both of which are bad. Both spending and taxes should be reduced. Instead of a balanced budget amendment, the United States should adopt a cap on spending.
- "Reform" is an ambiguous word, so do not use it.
- The controlled substances act should be repealed so that people can buy any medicine (or addictive substance) without a prescription. Poisoning people without their knowledge and consent should still be illegal.
- Any possible benefit from reducing global warming is far outweighed by the economic cost of the policies which would be necessary to achieve it. Government should not intervene in the production, distribution or use of energy whether from fossil fuels or otherwise. In particular, I oppose: "cap and trade", mileage requirements on automobiles, the ethanol mandate for gasoline, and limitations on off-shore oil drilling.
- Limiting voluntary emissions of carbon into the atmosphere would not be effective, because wild fires will eventually allow any carbon stored in the biosphere to enter the atmosphere. Only restrictions on extraction of materials containing carbon (such as coal, petroleum, natural gas, peat, and limestone) from below what was the natural surface of the ground would be effective, for example, a tax on the amount of carbon extracted plus a tariff on importation of carbon from countries lacking such taxes.
- Businesses should not be required to bargain with unions. Repeal the National Labor Relations Act. It is the responsibility of individual workers to avoid working under what they consider unfair conditions.
- Laws restricting immigration should be repealed. Everyone has the right to live anywhere he pleases, so long as he respects the private property of other people. However, neither immigrants nor others should receive any subsidies from the government.
- Abortion is self-defense, if the mother is unwilling to carry the child. Government should neither regulate nor subsidize such abortion. However, abortion forced upon the mother by a third party is murder of the unborn child.
- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an instrument of censorship and should be abolished. Network neutrality is a form of censorship. Freedom of expression belongs to those who own the resources used to express the ideas in question. So it is absurd to say that one person's freedom of expression requires forcing another to provide the means to do so.
- Genetically modified organisms are at least as safe to eat as any other food.
- The Transportation Security Administration should be abolished. Airlines should be free to establish their own policies on security — to search their passengers as a condition of being allowed to board the aircraft or to not search. The type of search would also be up to the airline. However, the airline should be liable for any injury suffered by third parties as a result of failure to adequately search their passengers.
- The right of a person to defend himself and those he cares about should be respected. People should not have to depend on the police to protect them, especially since the courts have ruled that the police have no enforceable obligation to provide such protection. The police are seldom around when they are needed; and, even when they are, they may lack understanding of the situation.
- Pet owners should be liable for any damages caused by their pets. More generally, any damage caused by a piece of property is the responsibility of its owner.
- Funding of scientific research by government tends to corrupt such research and leads to fraudulent studies and publications.
- So-called "intellectual property" (patents, copyrights, and "rights" to privacy and reputation) is incompatible with liberty and actual property rights (to places and objects). However, some protection for trademarks may be justifiable since the alternative may be fraud (identity theft).
- While all taxes are bad, the sales tax is even more dishonest than most because it pretends to be a tax on buyers, but is actually a tax on sellers. It distorts the market by making prices seem lower than they actually are. Now Congress (at the behest of some tax-hungry politicians and big-box stores trying to suppress competition) is in the process of enacting the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act which would allow states to tax businesses in other jurisdictions in violation of 'no taxation without representation'. This would make business via the internet virtually impossible and destroy many small businesses.
- Contrary to Israel's past practice and the urgings of many people, Israel should refrain from releasing convicted terrorists who have murdered innocent civilians either as part of a peace agreement, a confidence-building measure, or a prisoner exchange.
- Religion is harmful because it discourages people from thinking for themselves.
Muhammad's war against Mankind[edit]
Muhammad is waging a war against all Mankind. We should vigorously defend ourselves against that aggression.
According to the Washington Post (8/22/2010 page A8), radical Somali imam Abdulrahman Abdullahi declares (in a DVD) that "Our religion calls on us to kill everyone who does not believe in Allah and his Prophet Muhammad deeply.". People who promote such a religion are committing a crime — procuring murder.
Muslims say "Islam" means submission to God. But God does not exist. What "Islam" really means is submission to Muhammad's words (the Qur'an) and example (the Hadith). By depriving Muslims of the option of thinking for themselves, he is interfering with their ability to live in the real world. Muslims should abandon Islam and accept atheism.
Non-Muslims are victimized by laws forbidding apostasy and blasphemy. Forcibly imposing shariah (Islamic religious law) on anyone is wrong.
The United States should not give material support to any Muslim-dominated entity because Islam per se enables and promotes oppression and terrorism so any such aid would eventually be turned against us.
If a person adheres to a religion which demands the punishment of: non-believers, former believers, those who question it, or those who mock it; that person should be disqualified from holding public office.

24 Feb Leadership Awards Presented at the 2017 Leadership Summit
Congratulations to All Award Recipients
Each year, the Electronic Security Association recognizes outstanding volunteers and chapters that continue to push the industry forward.
ESA President, Angela White, presented the 2017 Leadership Awards during the General Session on Feb. 13.
"It is important to acknowledge the efforts of these individuals to ensure the industry thrives," White said.
Jamie Vos, president of the Electronic Security Association of Washington, was awarded Chapter President of the Year. Vos was selected for his work ethic and dedication to advancing the industry.
He brings a fresh new perspective to ESA with his initiatives on education and recruitment. Vos actively contributes to ESA at the national level as well; by participating in the Mentorship Program, serving on the Board of Directors and on the finance committee.
The Kentucky Electronic Security Association walked away with two awards: Chapter of the Year and Chapter Newsletter of the Year. In the past few years, the members of the KYESA have worked tirelessly to rebuild the chapter after the passing of a former president. In 2016 alone, they were able to retain 100 percent of their membership. KYESA has aligned with ESA on many programs and services and they advocate on behalf of the industry at the state Capitol.
Their newsletter actively promotes ESA news and upcoming events, delivers relevant and informative content, and highlights ESA member benefits and NTS courses.
Gary Schefler, Executive Director of the New Mexico Chapter of ESA was announced as the Executive Director of the Year. Gary is a retired industry veteran who volunteered to take on his role as Executive Director and he has provided stability to his chapter.
"He does everything in his power to build and sustain our chapter," said NMESA President, Steve Berniklau. Gary exercised all of his resources to halt a threat that the Albuquerque Police Department was going to stop responding to alarm calls. "Gary represents the best of what the industry has to offer," said SIAC Director, Ronald Walters.
The award given in honor of Paul F. Baran, Instructor of the Year, was given to Tommy Lewis. Tommy is the owner and operator of Lewis Clock and Electronic Systems. He is also a Senior NTS instructor.
Tommy is certified to teach all NTS courses. He obtained his Level I in 1999 and has continued to take NTS courses and continuing education throughout his career.

Welcome all to my little subspace nexus of chaos given form. The First Circle Pub is a sanctuary for virtuous pagans and those visiting from beyond. So pull up a chair next to the fire, you're in good company. The name's Pseudo-Democritus, proprietor and barkeep, most here call me V (that's an alchemy joke for the uninitiated), and in my not so humble opinion, there's no better place in heaven or hell. Here we tell tales and sing songs of the ancient ways, of battles lost and won, of a brotherhood that transcends time and space, and most of all, of lives determined and judged by not just deed and not just thought, but the two taken together as the sum of a man. As you can probably already tell, I like to ramble. My verbosity a much practiced measure like Hero's not so magical jugs of old. Like any alchemic endeavor, patience and attention to detail are a necessary requirement for discernment and the ultimate utility of what is found within these doors. So with that out of the way, from this bar I will attempt to separate light and darkness, waters from waters, the above and the below, hope from expectation, and time from gravity. The why to that question you are begging to ask if I would only shut up, lies in the ways of madness, entropy, and yes, quantum mechanics; but also the dialectical reconciliation of the material and immaterial under the skies of twilight. We will surely be hunting snarks, dark matter, rainbows, singularities, and other creatures that stalk the corridors that connect the conscious and unconscious mind. So abandon all hope ye who enter here; and come prepared, armed with that sharp vorpal sword of wit and reflective shield of introspection. Hell is after all what you make of it, macrocosm to microcosm and back again.
A Long Overdue Update
It is always hard for me to put into words the emotional context of a journey down one of life's pathways, but I've about exhausted the creative ebb and flow this sabbatical in my hermit cave offered, so I'm back again at the keyboard today contemplating ends and beginnings, points of light, and that very … More A Long Overdue Update
