Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research post at Cardiff University?s School of Computer Science & Informatics in the context of the ERC funded project FLEXILOG. The overall aims of this project are (i) to learn interpretable vector space embeddings (or conceptual spaces) from a variety of structured and unstructured information sources, and (ii) to exploit these embeddings for improving statistical and symbolic inference from imperfect data. More information about FLEXILOG can be found on the project website: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/flexilog/
Specifically, the aim of these posts will be to contribute to one or more of the following:
(i) to develop methods for statistical reasoning from sparse relational data, which exploit vector space representations to impose cognitively inspired forms of regularization (e.g. the fact that concepts tend to correspond to convex regions).
(ii) to develop methods for learning modular and interpretable vector space representations of events, which can be used to predict how events will impact the actors involved (and the entities related to them), as well as the likelihood of related future events.
(iii) to evaluate these methods in applications such as zero-shot learning, textual entailment, reading comprehension, automated knowledge base completion, and entity retrieval.

According to a report by National Review columnist John Fund, President-elect Donald Trump has narrowed down his choices for Secretary of State to former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and California Congressman Dana Rohrbacher.
Fund tweeted out his tip on December 7, also noting that former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton, is being considered for Undersecretary of State.
Secretary of State pick down to 2 likely choices 1) Mitt Romney or 2) Team of Rep. Dana Rohrabahcher as Secy, with John Bolton as undersec.
— John Fund (@johnfund) December 7, 2016
Several hours later, the columnist tweeted out the recommendation that Trump pick Rohrbacher because the former Congressman "shares the president's mind on foreign policy" far more than Mitt Romney might.
Fund's second tweet reveals the thoughts of US New and World Report contributing editor Peter Roff, who voiced his thoughts that Rohrbacher was the better choice over Romney.
Roff said that Rorhbacher as Secretary with Bolton as his second would likely better serve President Trump.
"Together with Bolton, who knows the department inside and out," Roff wrote, "they'll make a powerful one-two punch that will give the department the house-cleaning it so badly needs while standing up consistently for U.S. interests."
Roff added that putting Romney, the more establishment candidate, in charge of the Department of State would only empower the "career types who actually run the department" and make reform that much harder.

The problem is that, while this system is undeniably more efficient, it's also much more fragile. Bad weather in just a few countries can wreak havoc across the entire system. When prices spike as they did [in spring 2008] (for reasons that now seem not entirely obvious), the result is food shortages and malnutrition in poorer countries, since they are far more dependent on imports and have few food reserves to draw on. And, while higher prices and market reforms were supposed to bring a boom in agricultural productivity, global crop yields actually rose less between 1990 and 2007 than they did in the previous twenty years, in part because in many developing countries private-sector agricultural investment never materialized, while the cutbacks in government spending left them with feeble infrastructures.
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
The UN has recently warned that food prices are again heading to record levels, a warning those with a decent short-term memory may find familiar. A food price index based on the wholesale price of fifty-five different products (including staples such as rice and wheat) reached a record 214.7 in December, surpassing the previous record of 213.5 set in June 2008, when food price increases were causing riots and civil unrest in numerous countries.
The increases are largely due to droughts, floods and other weather-related causes. 2010 was dismal for grain crops in Canada, Russia and the Ukraine, and an Argentian drought and an Australian flood have lowered the annual wheat haul even further. Wheat prices jumped up by 17% in December, while corn prices increased 11%: both reaching two year highs.
The relation to weather isn't always entirely clear. Economists often pay attention to food prices in India and China, due to their rapid-clip economies and immense population sizes. Food prices have inflated by 18.3% in India, causing officials to scrap import taxes for onions, banning their import and ordering low-priced sales at government run shops. Inflation in China has also been widely discussed lately, with 75% of that inflation due to higher food prices (in 2008, food prices pushed inflation past 8%), but without the same domestic food production problems that occurred in 2008. Wealthier citizens in both countries are part of the blame, with greater demands for former luxury items such as meat, poultry and milk. It's for that reason that analysts keep close watch over what the central banks in both those countries do to address it.
With all the advances of modern technology and past experience at hand, you'd think that more could/would have been done to address food crises like this, but it's all a complicated and increasingly pricey onion to peel. Two years ago, the New Yorker's James Surowiecki wrote a great piece with an easy-to-understand explanation: it's all about the market, silly.
Or, not entirely. Though deregulation is often vilified (depending on what end of the political spectrum one lies in), the intensive government infrastructures that agriculture has generally moved away from over the past few decades were, as Surowiecki puts it, "undoubtedly costly and often wasteful," with the private market concentrating production of certain staples around the world to create certain efficiencies.
However, that efficiency has created certain vulnerabilities, and that's the worrisome part of these food price crises. While it doesn't completely explain the increase in food prices, it does provide an explanation as to how crippling these increases are relative to inflationary price increases for other things. As Surowiecki explains:

It doesn't even have anything to do with your political standpoint, it has to do with your human rights standpoint.ReplyDelete
Calling systems that only work to increase financial profitably as "efficient" is sociopathic. An "efficient" food industry would put food in the mouths of the starving, ongoing. They would have reserves, just like a first world country, so that a single flood would not spiral entire populations into fatal starvation.
Once you put a price tag on human rights like food, water and health care, bringing them into capitalist systems, then there are ALWAYS populations who do not have access to these basic human rights. There has to be for capitalism to work as you can find throughout history, in every single case.

Prose Recall: Effects of Aging, Verbal Ability and Reading Behavior. Prose Learning Series Research Report No. 13.
Rice, G. Elizabeth; Meyer, Bonnie J. F.
A study was conducted to determine the effects of age, verbal ability, education, reading habits, and recall strategies on prose recall among adults. Subjects were 422 adults in three age groups--young (18-28 years), middle (40-54), and older (62-80). They were asked to read and recall in writing two 388-word prose passages and to answer questions about their background reading habits and recall strategies. The results indicated that while increasing age was associated with a decrease in recall, both verbal ability and education were better predictors of recall than was age. In addition, a recall strategy factor representing "paragraph by paragraph" retrieval produced the highest simple correlations with total recall and contributed significantly to the explanation of other recall measures. Reading habit factors associated with recall reflected subjects' self-assessment as good and frequent readers as well as their need to know information. The reading and recall strategy factors proved to be better predictors of recall than the reading habit factors. While the findings confirmed the expectation that more practiced readers will recall more, the results also made it possible to refine understanding of the relationship between recall and reading experience. They also suggested that training in the use of reading and recall strategies may be used to improve recall in all age groups. (Extensive tables of data are appended.) (HTH)

Medical Malpractice: Failure to Diagnose Cancer
Olympia, Tacoma and throughout Washington
Early detection of many types of cancer can markedly improve your life expectancy. Nothing is more tragic than having a doctor overlook cancer until the cancer is in an advanced and hard to treat stage.
Indeed, a doctor's failure to diagnose cancer may make the difference between life and death.
A doctor must take the time to thoroughly investigate the patient's concerns, request needed tests, and refer to an appropriate specialist before it is too late.
If you or someone you love is suffering from cancer (or has recently died from cancer) and you are concerned that cancer diagnosis came to late, contact Fuller & Fuller for free information.
Sometimes "better late than never" is just not true.
Detailed explanations! Talked with providers, assistance with medical bills and payment plans.
You truly care about the people you deal with. Thank you for all you did!
It was good work, they worked hard on the case.
You guys are doing great, and I received a bigger settlement than I thought!

10? 20? 50? Where Do You Draw the Line and How to Control That List…
If you shoot weddings for long enough, maybe even during your first time, you will come across a couple, or at least a bride, who give you a definite list of images they "definitely want" taken at their wedding.
Not normally a problem as this usually involves a short list of family group shots, special friends or family from afar or the children.
However, you will get the request now and again that goes a little too far.
Huge Group Shot Lists
It has happened to me on many a wedding where the couple hand over a list of photos they would like taken at their wedding and the "groups" list is huge.
I have counted more than fifty (yes 50!) shots requested for one wedding which is crazy ridiculous. The average seems to be between 20 and 30 which is still far too many…but why?
If you think about it and recall your experiences from other weddings, whether as a guest or as a photographer, you will realise that things don't always go to plan.
Ready for the bride's family group shot? Where's Dad? At the bar? In the toilet? Having a sneaky cigar somewhere? What about aunt Flo who finds it hard to get around let alone make her way up or down various flights of stairs or out to the location you have planned.
You see there are way too many variables to consider when shooting the groups and if you say on average that it takes just 2 minutes to set up and shoot each group, even with just 15 shots to take you are looking at half an hour minimum.
Factor in various issues stated above and a larger list of 25 group shots and you could well run into an hour or more just for the groups. Then you need to whisk the bride and groom off somewhere nice and pre-planned for the special portraits…it all adds up and time is a rare commodity at a wedding.
My Suggestion
I would recommend that you nip this in the bud long before the big day.
When you meet with the couple after being booked, talk to them about all of the above and explain that you don't want to encroach too much on their special day. When they see sense in how long each shot could take, they tend to trim the list a fair bit.
After all, the day goes quickly enough and people always get fed up with long group sessions.
Magazine Cuttings
Again, I have had on many occasions, either a load of magazine cuttings handed to me or a long list of website links to images that the bride would like taken.
Again, this is pretty ridiculous for a number of reasons.
Think about it. The bride has more than likely scoured a whole range of photographers with;
- Different shooting styles
- Different equipment
- At vastly differing locations
- At different times of the year
- With hugely varying lighting scenarios
Asking a photographer to produce all of those images at a single wedding is like a football manager showing his team a video of last year's "greatest goals" and requesting that they score each one in a single game…not going to happen.
Again, I would suggest that you cover all this during your pre-wedding meets and re-assure the couple that you know what you are doing.
All weddings are massively different for all sorts of reasons and they also have a habit of changing last minute. Explain that you are a professional and that you will photograph the day as it happens…naturally with the occasional posed shot thrown in.
It is important to establish that you simply cannot plan the day to a fine T and expect it to go according to that plan. I seriously can't remember a wedding, even the ones planned like a military operation, going completely to plan. They are usually at least an hour over time at the end of the day.
It is your job to be able to adapt and cope with any changes, as stressful as they may seem, and still produce the goods at the end of the day.
This is why wedding photographers charge a premium over "Uncle Bob" and his new DSLR.
If you are serious about wedding photography and haven't seen our Wedding Photography Blueprint 2.0 yet, please check it out and grab a copy…it really does have everything you need to know about photographing weddings for a living (and a whole lot more).

Very impressed
Andreas B. Heide, sailor and explorer of profession. I am currently in Northern Norway on an 3 week assignment to document the overwintering Orcas. For the past couple of days I have the chance to test the Takacat dinghy. In short I am very impressed. Easy access to water, great stability, low drag when towing and great ability to hydroplane with heavy loads to mention a few.
It ticks all our boxes
We all like it!
Easy to drive, stable and does not take much to push it along. We mostly use it to double side tow the AC45's onto the moorings. G Davies, Yacht Design & Build Manager
I'm a skipper with Kawau Coastguard and bought a Takacat sport 2.6 last year. Great boat! Our unit is
looking for a new tender and have gone with my recommendation especially after a demonstration. My brother in law was so impressed with mine he went and bought one too. He likes the way it tows
behind his launch without flipping. Geoff Kerr
Good job, great product! Ralph Appelbaum, NY, US
It just goes to show that the Takacat stands up to some serious fishing and at times tough conditions.
Cheers and good luck, Ian Taylor
Lion New Zealand and Steinlager 2
We here at the NZ sailing trust have been using Takacat tenders for both our yachts, Lion New Zealand and Steinlager 2 for the past 2 and a half years. In this time we have had over 3000 students on board each of our tenders and they are dealing with huge usage very well. We love the fact that the Tackacats are forgiving on the yachts topsides and deck paint, they are fantastically light for their size and very economical to run. Durability has not been a problem and the service delivered from the team at Tackacat has been second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending the purchase of a Tackacat product for use as a tender to a larger vessel or for beach and harbour usage. Cheers Greg, Alistair Moore, Head Skipper & Programme Manager, NZ Sailing Trust
I have had the Takacat Lite 300 for just over four months now so thought I would provide you with some feedback. All fittings and finish are good and after regular use as a tender with plenty of rubbing against the yacht, the boat is as functional as day one. It planes with a 2.3 Honda with only one person, with more than that it remains fast and efficient. We always tow it behind our 26 foot sloop when sailing and it doesn't drag, remains upright in all seas we have encountered and when swimming off the back we don't have to worry about dropping the swim ladder as the Lite is so easy to get out of the water onto that we use it and then step across to the yacht. Light and easy to put on and off my ute and the rub strips on the bottom show no sign of wear. I am constantly thinking of getting a 6 Hp motor for it to turn it into a new toy, I expect it would perform very well with that combination. For now it is perfectly fit for purpose. Thanks for your assistance in choosing this boat and with the delivery tracking. Mark Wilkinson, Australia
"I recently purchased a Takacat 220 sport which is excellent and highly recommended. We have a small launch so we like the ability to be able to rapidly deflate and inflate it to suit our storage requirements. The Takacat is really easy to row which our kids love and they now spend many hours rowing around." Regards, Neil Prime, Akl, New Zealand
The boats look great and our customers really appreciate the features, handling and extra inches of interior
space." Larry Morgan (owner of Windward Sailing Newport Beach California)
Moves easily with a 2.3hp
"I bought a Takacat lite a few weeks ago and I use it every day. It does everything well. Plus it is light
and easy to move and store (on its side in the car port). With a Honda 2.3 it moves easily. I can fish from it as well. Perfect. Hard to imagine a more ubiquitous dinghy." R Martin, Waiheke island,
I'm attaching a photo taken while we were towing a 12' aluminum dinghy that had broken down on the Waikato
River during the annual seagull race at Easter. P Bennett, NZ
World Rowing Championships 2011
"Your Boats are great and everybody was more than happy while using them. On Sunday there was a National
Championship in Rowing and again they were used to full extend. Just smiling faces. Congratulations for a very, very good product and I do hope you will have more and more customers with smiling
faces. I am sure that with your charming and friendly approach your business will grow rapidly". President of the organizing committee 2011 World Rowing Championships, Janez
World Rowing Championships 2010
"The craft were thoroughly tested prior to the Championships in a variety of situations and quickly it became apparent that they were the industry leaders in design, development and versatility. We were very happy with the performance of the boats during our event, particularly with their stability and low-wake output. We have no doubt in recommending and endorsing Takacat as a world leading water craft supplier." Thomas P Mayo, CEO
"The open Takacats used at the 2010 World Rowing Championships
as both safety boats and marshal boats were ideal for the tasks allocated to them. Not only were they very stable and maneuverable, their unique design permitted (if required) rescues to be performed
easily from both in-boat and in-water situations. The only comment I have is that a 15 hp motor is all that is required for rowing regatta support." Lee Spear, Competition Director, 2010 World
Rowing Championships
Great to fish from and it also rows better than my Canoe!
Timo, South Island lake fisherman,
"It is the most fantastic tender for our yacht that we have ever had. After having spent over 60 years on
the water and now being less able to jump and balance, we have found that our new '2.6 Takacat', while light enough to be easily loaded onto our boarding platform, is unbelievably stable. It was a
delight to find out that it is also significantly faster than our old 'Rigid Bottom' inflatable, with our same old outboard motor. We have the blow up floor, minus the aluminum slates (for
lightness)and we have found this to be a very good stable platform for us to stand on, as well as for our aged and less able selves to get in and out off. The '2.6 Takacat' is self draining, only
requiring a little bow elevation to completely empty the Takacat of water - while we now watch all our friends bailing their tenders out. The '2.6 Takacat' has made a big difference to our boating
expectations." Sincerely
William (Bill) J McCook, Retired CEO, Spirit of Adventure Trust
"We took it away behind a 50ft launch as a tender...it tracked well behind, once we figured out the correct
tow length....and once we reached anchor for the night it was amazing to transport 6 of us to shore, or tow kids all night round the bay.(see photo). The trailer worked very well and was especially
good for retrieving from the hard...no need to float it on. We also had it at Whangamata and it was fun in the waves, or skiing off the estuary...it even pulled me up single ski, deep water start
"The boats best feature for me was the stability..esp as a tender, so easy to walk on and off without the unstable rocking of your usual tender. The "ride" was surprising too...so very "soft" in choppy water." D Jessup
Takacat in Tonga
"I'm loving the Takacat too, it really is the perfect small boat for us as a resort rescue boat, snorkel
trip boat even spearfishing and dive trips"
Takacat 320 Lite - Outstanding
Hey Greg, I just wanted to say thanks for the speedy delivery of the Takacat. I took the kids out for a little row in it last night and was really impressed. The build quality seems outstanding and I was shocked at how well it rowed, I have not seen any other inflatable that can row this efficiently, its great. Thanks! Nige
Takacat Freedom - Beach launching!
"We have found our new Takacat Freedom great for surf beach launching from our local holiday hang out north
of Napier. It's super fun for me and my friends and makes it easy to get out for a dive or lay and retrieve the cray posts (amazingly stable!). It provides an incredibly smooth and soft riding and is
great for playing in the surf. At the end of the holiday it's easy and light to tow back home for some local fishing adventures! I can be ready to go and in the water with-in 20 minutes. No hassle
and just heaps of fun. Happy fishing! Russ Holt
Takacat Lite
"A little while ago we purchased Takacate Lite inflatable dingy from you. Up to delivery to out doorstep, we had not seen or touched your product ; our purchase relying solely on a Boating magazine article and your excellent Video on Takacat.com. As we are in our Senior years your selling feature for us was your guarantee of stability on the water. We were not disappointed. Thank you Takacat for a great N.Z. design and the service you warmly afforded us. We have since purchased an 8 HP motor which marries well with our new Inflatable". "We are having fun". "Yours in boating, Christine and Terry" Yacht Sea Beagle Bavaria 36. Tauranga. N.Z.
"I recently bought a Takacat as a tender for my H28 and I am thrilled with its performance. Its very light
so its easy to handle on and off the dinghy racks and it tows like a dream. So light to row even my 8 year old daughter can take us all to shore. Once we get there it's a joy to lift to the high
water mark compared to our previous tender. A good soft nose so we have no more marking on the fiber glass. Very stable and plenty of room means less trips from shore to the mooring. My little 2.2
outboard can bring the Takacat up on the plane." "A remarkable product, it really is the perfect tender!" Greg Stansfield
"The Takacat Lite 3.2 I purchased from you has proven to be a superb wee boat. I like its stability which makes getting in and out of it really quite simple and safe. Its turn of speed with our tired old 6hp mercury is quite remarkable, its maneuverability is quite startling too!!! For my trip across the Tasman i left it inflated and on the davits ....no problems there either. I have found the boats load carrying capacity to be enormous". Matt Cox - Australia
"What a difference a Takacat makes.....For me purely and simply it means getting out fishing more often and having fun doing it. No boat ramp needed - just launch straight off the beach. I have put a 30 Yamaha 3 cylinder 2 stroke on mine which has plenty of torque to also pull a skier or a sea biscuit. Everyone who has been in the Takacat says things like "this is great fun" and "I want one".......Well I wanted one and I haven't looked back because it is great fun to fizz on and fish from!" John Munro from NZ
We got out! - Takacat Freedom
"Yes we had a wonderful Anniversary weekend two weeks ago, and caught our limit each trip. This last weekend there was an unexpected large swell that kept most boats in, we got out but it was very exciting. I'm gaining a lot more confidence now." Staurt - New Plymouth
"Over the past three years Takacat inflatables have been used for a wide variety of activities during our
New Zealand Ocean Swim Series such as the Auckland Harbor Crossing and King of the Bays. In often difficult conditions we have been very impressed with the boats' performance, stability and load
carrying capabilities. We have used the boats for course layout, buoy plotting, camera boats and people ferrying. We thank you Takacat for your great support." Scott Rice, Director, New Zealand Ocean

Ok so Alice read Vampire Academy and was like, THAT WASN'T TERRIBLE, and I have very low reading requirements these days, but am also bad at reading past the word 'vampire' in a title so THIS is a review of The Awakening: Being The First Book in the Vampire Diaries and while I can now vouch for Vampire Academy not being terrible, I'm afraid this one is.
Let us begin.
Elena is our sexy, sexy protagonist. She is wearing a 'deep rose ribbon' in her hair. I love when people are described as trend-setters and then show up in ribbons. (Edited to add: N'URRRR MIND, this book was published in 1991. You WEAR that ribbon, sistah.)
HAHAHA this crow is UNDRESSING HER with its EYES. She is so hot even the animals are like, Dat ass.
Elena is thinking about boys, and how much boys dig her, and how this gives her life meaning. 'After all, what was more important than boys?' I'd love for this to be Immature Elena Who Then Grows Into Someone Not Quite This Shallow, but if anything she only narrows her focus. What is more important than this one pale sexy Porche-driving bad boy?
(And now enter Stefan, a name we have not been able to take seriously since 1993.)
Do you even need to ask? Stefan is a douche and Elena has a sad and Stefan is like, 'She was hurt…He didn't care. In fact, he was glad of it, and he hoped it would keep her away from him.' ZOMG I AM DANGERRIZ AND WILL HURT YOU TO SAVE YOU.
Ok, but then ELENA is like, 'She'd have him, even if it killed her. If it killed both of them, she'd have him.' FIRSTLY, this is a little melodramatic for a high school romance. Even though WE the READER are like, Yes, because he is a vampire, you having him will probably involve you being at least Nearly-Killed. And SECONDLY, she wants him so badly because…*scans up to previous paragraph*…ah yes. 'He'd snubbed her on purpose, and in front of Caroline.' DELIBERATE EMBARRASSMENT AND REJECTION IS SO SEXY.
Ok but Elena has Reasons for being like that. No boy has ever made her nervous, but when she spoke to Stefan, 'there hadn't been butterflies in her stomach – there had been bats.' VAMPIRE BATS?
And then she's like, Being made nervous is not a good reason to be into a guy. And I am like, HELLS YES, CHILD. LISTEN TO THAT THOUGHT.
But then she's all, 'But there was also that mouth.' And I am like, NO, IGNORE THE MOUTH. THERE ARE MANY OTHER EQUALLY AS SCULPTED MOUTHS THAT WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE UNSETTLIES.
So that's happening. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying such awesome narration as:
'Oh, Bonnie,' she said, 'I'm glad you're back. Hello, Elena, Meredith.'
Elena and Meredith said 'hello.'
Some other conversation happens here but don't you appreciate knowing that Bonnie's sister said hello to Elena and Meredith and that they said hello back before she launched into important conversation and stuff? I know I do.
Ok and then Matt, who I forgot about until now but who is in love with Elena (obvs) but who has also befriended Stefan (weirdly), is like, I don't think Stefan's as confident as he seems. And Elena takes a paragraph to contemplate this completely novel form of character, the Secretly Confused And Unhappy Popular Kid. And then Elena tries to rope Matt into WINNING STEFAN'S HEART for her and Matt is giving her a dressing down for being selfish and self-absorbed, and she's like, *single perfect tear hovers unshed* and he's like, NO DON'T DO IT DON'T CRY I WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT.
Ok so now we're at the School Dance. Elena is there, Stefan is there. She asks if he's having a good time and then, presumably, he SAYS nothing (which is a socially weird way to respond to a question), but you probably won't notice because he THINKS 'I am now,' except you don't know he thinks it, Elena does. Elena 'knew it was what he was thinking; she could see it in the way he stared at her. She had never been so sure of her power. Except that actually he didn't look as if he were having a good time; he looked stricken, in pain, as if he couldn't take one more minute of this.' Wait, WHAT? It's like halfway through that paragraph, LJ remembered that this was supposed to be TORTURED teenage love, not the other kind that just goes and makes out behind the bleachers already.
Stefan stares at her and '[i]t was the most intense moment she'd ever experienced with a boy, but nothing at all was happening.' And this is sort of the book in a nutshell: nothing is happening, so you have to take Elena's word that it is INTENSE.
Ok and then Stefan does something Stefan-y (like, snubs her in public or something), so she goes off and flirts with a new group of friends and they 'welcomed her, admiring her, the boys vying for her attention. Jokes flew back and forth.' Smith may as well have been like, And the teenagers did teenagery things, you know, like the young people do, and also there was some sexual tension.
But then one of these boys CATCHES her attention and lures her away to paw at her in a church yard (IRONY), and Stefan is trying to get to her but he gets dizzy for reasons I forget. 'He needed…to go to Elena. But he was weak. He couldn't be…weak…if he were to help Elena. He needed…to…' ELLIPSES = SUSPENSEFULLERYNESS!
Eventually he rescues her (derr) but not before her bodice is ripped (hee!), and she 'pulled the remaining bobby pins out of her hair and used them to fasten the front of her dress together.' Bobby pins aren't literal PINS, though, is the thing.
And then he's all like, I'd better get you home, and she's like, 'Why do you hate me?' and I am like, This reads like badly-written Twilight fanfic except that at least in Twilight, it was well established that Edward hated Bella. Someone forgot to infuse that haterade into VD. Oh, and yes, the pub date. SOMEONE HAS GONE BACK TO 1991 AND WRITTEN BAD TWILIGHT FANFIC.
And then they establish that no one hates ANYONE and that Stefan actually loves her like woah and they have a MOMENT but he has to GO so he whispers goodbye, 'his eyes clinging to hers,' OH MY GOD THAT IS THE GROSSEST IMAGE. Romantic moment ruined.
Sidebar – Stefan on Elena: 'warm as sunlight, soft as morning, but with a core of steel that could not be broken.' I mean, there's lazy characterization and then there's just ripping stuff straight from the Book of Stock Characters.
So now they're together and things are swell. 'After a week of being with Stefan, she still felt a thrill of excitement just saying his name.' Isn't that sweet? She's still crazy about him after all these fucking days. But Elena has to go do…I forget again. Plan another dance? No, wait, the Halloween thing. Has to go plan the Halloween thing with her girlfriends, WHO ARE NOT STEFAN. '"He can live without you for one evening," said Bonnie callously' EMPHASIS MINE because no, 'said Bonnie WITH SURPRISING GOOD SENSE.' Is what you meant.
And the Halloween thing comes and someone is MURRRRDERED and everyone is like, Stefan did it. So Stefan is like, Oh shit, I must have killed that dude without noticing! May as well go drink all the bloods, then. Besides, I am SO THIRSTY. And I don't know much about vampires but I'm pretty sure they aren't SO THIRSTY after JUST HAVING DRUNKEN AN ENTIRE DUDE, so that was maybe a good clue right there that he hadn't done any blood-letting. I mean, what do I know, though.
Ok and we get to the part where Elena Finds Shit Out and she's listing off all Stefan's skills (he's having a low self-esteem moment) and she's like, You're quick, and he's like, Actually I'm NOT. 'Have you ever heard the saying "the quick and the dead," Elena?' HAHAHA PUNS. He is actually dead.
Finally Elena approaches Stefan's Terrible Secret and she's like, 'it's the end of the story, isn't it? That's behind all your walls, that's what you're afraid to let me see.' And lines like that always read like part of the story outline that the author forgot to replace with actual writing.
And then she finds out he's a vampire and that he and his brother had both been turned by the same girl (ew?) who then killed herself so they wouldn't fight about her (I am sort of making things up at this point because I skimmed the last bit) and Elena gets super mad about…something, and 'knew now what a towering rage meant.' Is a 'towering rage' a thing? This is not an expression I have heard.
Anyway, she something something cliffhanger but I guess I'll never know how it all ends because I AM NOT DOING THAT AGAIN.
Two caterpillars. Coming soon: a review of Vampire Academy, which could not have been this terrible if it tried so it sort of lucked out on that score.

At the Krause and Kinsman Law Firm, we feel that those who are injured should not be obligated with expenses associated with their case.
That is why we advance all of the costs necessary to move each case forward. In addition, we do not require our clients to pay a retainer fee for our services. Most individuals who are injured are not in a position—economically or psychologically—to pay their attorney hourly fees in order to retrieve compensation for their injury months down the road. Our job is to improve our clients' quality of life after they have been seriously injured. We do this by removing the burden from our client's shoulders and placing it in to our hands. The Krause and Kinsman law firm provides an easy way for our clients to litigate their case by offering a contingency fee agreement. That means we don't get paid unless you win your case.

Determination of Interrogating Frequencies to Maximize Electromagnetic Backscatter from Objects with Material Coatings
H. T. Banks 1*, K. Ito 1, J. Toivanen 11 Center for Research in Scientific Computation, Box 8205, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-8205, USA.
Received 5 November 2005; Accepted (in revised version) 20 December 2005
The electromagnetic backscattering of a crosscut of a cruise missile coated by a thin homogeneous layer made of radar absorbent material is modeled using a finite element method. Based on the radar cross section and a reflection coefficient, optimization problems are formulated for evaders and interrogators leading to optimal material parameters for the coating and optimal monostatic radar operating frequencies, respectively. Optimal coating materials are constructed for several radar frequencies. Tuning only dielectric permittivity gives a narrow frequency range of high absorption while also tuning magnetic permeability widens it significantly. However the coating layers considered do not provide substantial reduction of backscattering in the entire frequency range from 0.2 to 1.6 GHz. Computational experiments also demonstrate that the reflection coefficient based on a simple planar geometry can predict well the strength of radar cross section in the sector of interest with a substantially reduced computational burden.

Tobacco may soon have its nasty reputation replaced with a more positive image-that of producer of health promoting products. This crop may help keep the population healthy. Genetic engineers have successfully introduced foreign genes into a variety of plants, including tobacco, using plant viruses as vectors. By placing the desired gene adjacent to an active viral promoter, the plant is tricked into producing large concentrations of the foreign protein. Plants thus have become another vessel for synthesizing foreign gene products along with bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells in culture.
Among the successful demonstrations of the technique have been the productions of an anti-AIDS drug and an antihypertensive protein by tobacco plants infected with a modified tobacco mosaic virus. The future is likely to bring other therapeutic protein, vaccine components and industrial enzymes.
Studies indicate several advantages that plants have over the conventional unicellular systems. They produce large volumes of protein that are more readily extracted and ultimately cheaper. These preparations are also free of many contaminating materials that pose problems in bacteria produced products (such as endotoxin) that might be harmful to humans. In addition to being safe, plant derived vaccines have often proved to be more effective than bacteria derived vaccines because of the way the antigen is assembled.
Plants may become a cost effective way to produce human or animals vaccines and may eventually provide a painless route of administration. Scientists are already trying to develop edible vaccines. By eating an antigen contains fruit or vegetable, children might someday be inoculated against the various pathogens that threaten their health. Alfalfa, Lettuce, and tomatoes are already producing vaccine components against cholera toxin and hepatitis B virus. The challenge now is to figure out ways to ensure that these proteins retain their antigenicity as they travel through the digestive tract and that their antigenic determinants can stimulate adequate immunity.
Glowing tobacco plant is the product of genetic engineering having grown from a tobacco cell that received a copy of the firefly gene that enables the insect to illuminate its abdomen. Just as the firefly gene is expressed when incorporated into this tobacco plant, genes for other products more useful to us than a glowing plant are expressed making the plant a factory for the desired product.

Yashika was buying her uncle's house. It was a resale property but she still needed a loan to pay for it. The property was owned by someone she knew, so she was not too worried about legal issues and valuation related to the property. However, she still needed to run a few checks to ensure her home loan process was smooth. Her uncle helped her out with all the documents she needed, and also told her about other requirements.
If you do not have someone to guide you like Yashika did, worry not. We are here to help you. Listed below are the important checks you must make to get approval for your home loan.
- Financial condition
The bank will bear majority of the financial burden at present, but you will ultimately have to pay for the house. So, before you buy a house, make sure you are financially stable. Check that you can afford to pay the EMIs and the down payment. Remember, the lender will not give you the loan if they feel you cannot repay it. So, run a realistic check of your finances. Buy the house only if you are sure you can afford it.
- Property clearance
Whether you are buying a new house or an old one, ensure it has no legal issues. If the property is disputed in any way, the loan provider will not approve your loan. If you are buying a new house, get the verification and valuation checks done first. This way you can be certain that it is a legitimate house you are buying. The property should have all the necessary clearances from the authorities as well.
- Builder's reputation
Check to see how the builder has performed in the past. Has the builder been able to hand over previous projects on time? Are customers happy? If so, you should not have any problems. But suppose the builder is known for delays in the projects or price disputes. If that is the case, it is advisable to avoid doing business with them. Lenders also prefer to avoid such builders, which is why they could reject your loan.
- Read the documents carefully
Before you sign on any dotted line, read all the documents carefully. Read the sale agreement, and the terms and conditions mentioned in it. Then read the terms and conditions of the home loan provider. See if the loan terms fit into your financial plan. This is an important check as it prevents future disputes from taking place.
The bottom line
Keep the guidelines mentioned above in mind and you will not have any problems when applying for a home loan. Buying a house is perhaps the biggest investment of your life. So, you must be extra cautious. Carry out the necessary checks to ensure that this is indeed your dream home.

IRIDAS to Demonstrate Innovative 3D Production Workflows at BIRTV 2010 in ChinaIRIDAS Teams Up with its Channel Partner, Infratrans, to Showcase DualStream NX Stereo Workflow Technology (August 20, 2010)
IRIDAS (www.iridas.com) today announced it is teaming up with its channel partner in China, Infratrans, to demonstrate the Company�s newest innovations in 3D production workflows at China�s most prestigious radio, television and film industry conference, BIRTV 2010 in Beijing.
In its stand #1120 in Hall 1A at the China International Exhibition Center, executives from Infratrans will be available to demonstrate the latest developments in 3D stereoscopic workflows from IRIDAS, including a preview of the 2010 releases of FrameCycler DI and SpeedGrade DI - both of which are integrated with IRIDAS� innovative 4th generation stereoscopic review technology, DualStream NX.
"The explosive demand for 3D content is increasingly a global phenomenon, so it�s critical that we reach out to users around the world, understand their requirements and challenges, and help them understand the proven innovations we�re bringing to the table. That�s why our presence here at BIRTV is so important to us," said Lin Sebastian Kayser, CEO of IRIDAS. "With our partner, Infratrans, we will demonstrate to our users in China, not only how far we�ve come over the years with our stereoscopic production solutions, but to also give them a glimpse of where we�re taking this technology and how we�re solving their real-world 3D production challenges."
Dirk Meier, a freelance colorist and long-time IRIDAS customer has been working extensively with SpeedGrade DI in many capacities, from color grading to stereoscopic production. Currently, Meier is heavily involved with the production of China�s first-ever 3D movie production, Don Quixote, and had this to say about his experience with IRIDAS� advanced stereo workflow capabilities:
"IRIDAS has always been at the forefront of supporting new camera technologies, and developing highly effective and impressive stereoscopic 3D workflow solutions, long before other vendors had yet to begin even thinking about 3D. Today, I am deep into finishing and grading China�s first 3D production, Don Quixote, and taking full advantage of SpeedGrade DI�s end-to-end workflow features. All the stereo 3D adjustments have been done in prep for VFX, final conforming and final grading, all with a mixture of Red RAW files and DPX frames, and all in one timeline. And as for real-time performance, switching from mono to stereo output is faster in SpeedGrade DI than starting the color wheel in the DCI projector!"
Meier continued, "but for me as a colorist my main concern is about creating intriguing, stunning images that fully enhance the story. SpeedGrade DI has all the necessary tools and attributes I haven't found in other systems, all in very high quality."
IRIDAS solutions will be on display during the conference on August 23 - 26, 2010.
DualStream NX: A 3D Production Breakthrough
IRIDAS has been on the forefront of stereoscopic review since it first developed its groundbreaking DualStream technology in 2003. Now in its 4th generation, IRIDAS has refined its innovative stereoscopic 3D toolset to meet the requirements of today�s burgeoning production, post production and 2D-to-3D conversion market opportunities. IRIDAS� DualStream NX technology includes advanced features for work on stereoscopic movies and is based on the native stereo timeline already integrated into all IRIDAS products.
DualStream NX adds sophisticated tools to automatically correct geometric misalignment and eliminate color differences between left and right eye streams - this is a breakthrough and a first in the 3D production market. DualStream NX adds even more value for users as it also includes a full suite of creative S3D tools, such as keyframeable parallax adjustments, floating window and a complete stereoscopic color grading feature set. Additionally, DualStream includes comprehensive S3D workflow functions, such as stereo conform and automatic and manual handling of left/right eye assignments.
The IRIDAS SpeedGrade and FrameCycler 2010 family of 3D production solutions are available immediately. For more information, please visit www.iridas.com.
About IRIDAS
For over a decade, IRIDAS has become world renowned for its innovations in the digital filmmaking industry, redefining the way artists view, manipulate, enhance and produce their digital creations. As the industry�s earliest pioneers of stereoscopic review solutions and real-time color grading and manipulation techniques, IRIDAS taps its legacy of engineering expertise to streamline production and post production workflows, from onset to finishing, and is making stereoscopic moviemaking an everyday reality.

Yet another wonder car of Ford is undoubtedly F-250 which is a super small truck. Ford has decided to facelift many of their cars and F-250 is one of those. If you are looking for small trucks, you are absolutely at the right place and you should look forward to 2016 Ford F-250 now. Recently one prototype of upcoming F-250 was found performing penultimate tests in US. Due to that, photos and specifications have gone viral online about the new F-250 that is to come. Previously, few people spotted this car performing some tests.
2016 Ford F-250 Design
They took photographs of the same but they could hardly notice things from that picture. This time, the photo is clearer and it can be seen that F-250 has got aluminum body now which will make it lighter. Another great thing is that the uncovered picture of 2016 Ford F-250 has already been released online in the beginning of this month.
This can only mean one thing that the release date of this car is approaching soon. In all probability, F-250 will be launched in the next auto show that will be held in New York. It is quite difficult to gather much information about upcoming F-250 now since Ford is keeping mum regarding this. Still you are provided with few details that you will be interested in. 2016 Ford F-250 has got a reduction of 700 lbs of weight due to the full aluminum body. Ford has done the same thing in F-150 and this is how they are increasing performance of the car without bringing much difference in engine specification.
2016 Ford F-250 Engine Specs
Engine wise 2016 Ford F-250 has got a 6.2 liter engine V8 as the base version. This engine can produce a power of about 385 horsepower with a torque of 405 lb ft. There will be another variant of this car with an engine of 6.7 liter with Power Stroke technology. This engine can produce a power of about 440 HP with a torque of 860 lb ft. Fuel economy has been increased in both the versions, thus bringing more relief to car owners. This petrol engine car will have direct injection technology which will provide better performance and save fuel.
This new F-250 will have eight speed transmissions and the control will be fully automatic. Presently F-250 has got six speed transmissions which will be made optional with the release of the upcoming version. It has also been known that Ford is bringing ten speed auto transmissions for this car but it will take some time. Ford has done the same with F-150. Technological consoles will be upgraded as necessary.
2016 Ford F-250 MSRP and Release Date
Other features will remain the same except few minor but necessary changes in appearance. 2016 Ford F-250 is supposed to hit the market by the middle or end of next year. This car will be fixed with a price of $35000 for the base version. Higher versions will have higher prices and it will reach up to $60000 for the higher version which is reasonable.

Hate comes from the weakest of minds.
originally posted by: knowledgehunter0986
What a strong word.. that derives from the weakest of places.
Hate is by far the weakest emotion. You don't need courage to exhibit hate, you don't need confidence to exhibit hate, you don't need heart to exhibit hate, you don't even need to be smart to exhibit hate. As you can see, it takes absolutely zero effort to hate, and one could argue that if you possess any one of these traits, you would never feel the need to exhibit hate.
Hate comes from the weakest of minds.
People usually hate what they don't understand.
People hate in others what they secretly hate in themselves.
Why do you secretly hate yourself?
Yeah, you.
Hate seems to be the cool thing now.
Maybe that's why there is so much hate.
So why do you hate?
I'm only the messenger, please don't hate me.

Make your home a place you never want to leave once you get in. As the place you go back to and wake up in, you should make it a haven.
- Let The Sun Shine
Even when you foresee a long day tax planning Toronto, you can easily lift your mood and look forward to the rest of the day by letting in the sun's rays. Keep your windows clean and clean off any streaks on the glass. You can use a dry brush to sweep away dust from the frames and sponge the glass with soapy water. The sun will warm you up, and even on cloudy days, the natural light will still sneak in and brighten the space.
- Make your bed
For a cheery day, make your bed. If you end up having the worst day, it will feel good to come back to a well-made bed. Making your bed also means you'll wake up in an upbeat mood. You will also stay organized all day long.
You should also keep your bed comfy – invest in a good mattress and luxurious bedding, jersey knitting, and satin sheets.
- Bring in Fresh Flowers
A vase with fresh flowers will automatically liven up your home. Flowers lift your mood instantly, and by placing flowers on your kitchen table, you create a positive connection with nature. You can get flowers in season and add your favorites whenever you can.
- Add Greenery
Besides the flowers, you can bring nature indoors by planting indoor plants in pots. Besides adding color and brightening up your home, the plants will freshen the air around your home. You should opt for succulent plants or cacti because they don't need constant watering.
Plants bring in something else – a calm and a cheerful environment improving your overall wellbeing.
- Set up a Cozy Corner
Create your space even where you can call it your own. However small your big your home is, you can always dedicate one corner to yourself. You can make it a crafting space or just a special space with a comfy seat for you to unwind at. You should let the corner reflect what you love the most whether a computer, typewriter or painting supplies. Knowing that you have a special space to go home to, your home will feel happy automatically.
- Keep your home clean and tidy
The most important factor to consider when looking to create a happy home is cleanliness. A dirty home is stressful so, even when tired, you should tidy up space and keep out clutter. Uncluttered space is easy to clean, and it makes your home happy.
- Play joyful music
Music increases endorphins, the feel-good hormones which have a positive effect on your mood and attitude. If you play an instrument, create a space for playing. You may want a comfy couch where you can sit and enjoy music.
Final Thoughts
You should also consider displaying items of sentimental value around your home, start a daily, one-line gratitude journal, call a friend or family member and buy things that will make your home happier.

Evaporative patterning of regular arrays of nanometer-sized metallic features using a mask of colloidal silica particles
J-C Cheang-Wong, L.M. López, E. Reséndiz, U. Morales
Instituto de Física, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, MX
Keywords: particles, ion beam irradiation, nanosphere lithography, patterning
Abstract:Spherical submicrometer-sized silica particles were deposited as a monolayer onto silicon wafers by means of a spin coater system. This sample is then used as a mask to create regular arrays of nanoscale surface features, such as Ag and Au metallic deposits. Ion beam modified masks were used to tailor the size and arrangement of these deposits on Si substrates as a function of the ion fluence. Indeed, amorphous glassy materials like silicon dioxide can undergo extreme deformations under exposure to high-energy beams, which induce damage and structural changes in solids due to energy losses of MeV heavy ions via ionization events and atomic collisions. After the irradiation the silica particles turned into oblate particles, as a result of the increase of the particle dimension perpendicular to the ion beam and the decrease in the parallel direction. By this way, the mask openings of the silica particle monolayer were modified and a subsequent Ag or Au evaporation allowed the formation of ordered arrays of Ag or Au features, after removal of the silica particles. The size, size distribution and shape of both the silica particles and the array of metallic deposits were determined by scanning electron microscopy.

Frank Miller's All Star Batman & Robin Is So Bad, It's Actually Awesome
In 2005, DC teamed legendary Batman comic writer Frank Miller and equally legendary artist Jim Lee for what they clearly hoped would be the ultimate Batman comic. What they got was a comic in which Batman called Robin "retarded." In short, they got the worst Batman comic ever made. And I love it.

Elder Scrolls Online's upcoming transmutation will let you bend gear to your will
Elder Scrolls Online is getting ready to debut its transmutation system with the Clockwork City DLC later this month, but players can begin to wrap their heads around its mechanics right now. Essentially, the system allows players to swap out a useless trait on a piece of armor or a weapon for one that is more desirable.
There's a price to be paid for such mad science… but it's a pretty reasonable one. Transmuters will need access to a station, have researched the desired trait in question, and have enough special traits to feed into the machine, Chuck E. Cheese-style.
