Hopefully, this research project has demonstrated the necessity of doing a deeper study into Dartmouth's important role in the Evangelical Revival. It is to be lamented that little of Dartmouth's role in this regard has been covered. Much more work could be done with respect to Dartmouth's patronage of clergymen, especially trying to come up with a comprehensive list of everybody he supported and their own respective influence on evangelicalism. It could further be examined how much Dartmouth and Huntingdon worked together. More work could also be done regarding Dartmouth's own beliefs. Did he ever change his stance on slavery? How did he exactly balance his view of the Established Church and radical Evangelicalism? Why was he not a Wilberforce in doing parliamentary work for the evangelical cause?
Lord Dartmouth's importance to the Evangelical Revival is not something to be overlooked in the broader history of Evangelicalism. Indeed, this research project has endeavoured to demonstrate that Dartmouth was heavily involved in the promotion of Evangelicalism, through patronage and influence. It has desired to show that he was an important link in the broad evangelical networks with special emphasis on his importance in the Huntingdon network. No one can deny that Dartmouth took his Evangelicalism seriously as is evidenced by the many letters that he wrote to other evangelicals and the letters he received from members of the clergy. His commitment to Evangelicalism is further seen in his labours in the government of the British Empire. His policy making is marked by a character of piety and diligence, though it never achieved Dartmouth's desired outcome: conciliation. Therefore, in conclusion, Dartmouth's role in the Evangelical Revival is not only broad and varied but also important for understanding how the 18th Century revival functioned and managed to be so influential in Britain and the Americas.

Japan is fitting up (ha ha!) for a new type of advertisement called "Anne's Fitting Show." According to the guys over at Pink Tentacle, the ad uses a 3D holographic image of Japanese supermodel Anne Watanabe in World's "Untitled" brand clothing and allows stores to customise between 4 different situations that Anne would dress up for.
The situations — Date, Work, Party and Holiday — will have 12 different arrangements that can be mixed and matched to create the perfect style for each occasion. The futuristic ad has already been placed in the first floor of the Takashimaya department store in Shinjuku and is, supposedly, the first of its kind in the fashion industry. And no, "naked" is not a fashion style — not yet anyway. [SankeiWeb via Pink Tentacle]

Cosmetic dentistry has developed to the point where most people can have the bright smile's they've always wanted. Whether you're just removing some unsightly stains or correcting some major misalignments, you have access to a wide range of tools and techniques that produce amazing results.
The demand for cosmetic procedures has gone through the roof, and it is easier than ever to deal with stained or discolored teeth, cavities, chips, cracks, uneven teeth, gaps, and even several missing teeth. These problems can be addressed by one of many possible treatments, including:
Teeth Whitening – Age and certain foods and drinks can discolor our teeth. While there are many good at-home products, nothing quite matches an in-office whitening treatment. You can see teeth up to 10 shades brighter after a single visit.
Implants – Dental implants are the most effective way to replace missing teeth. Your jaw bone will fuse to the titanium implant, making it as strong and durable as your other teeth, and the custom crown will look just as natural.
Crowns – These porcelain caps will completely cover a misshapen, broken, or worn-out tooth. The crown is prepared specially for you so it will look completely natural in your mouth.
Veneers – This is a simple and effective way to cover up damage or discoloration as well as reinforce and reshape your teeth.
Teeth-colored Fillings – A smile full of metal can make people a little self conscious. Teeth-colored fillings allow us to avoid the amalgam and fill your cavities with a material that is much harder to notice.
Gum Contouring – Periodontal problems, like an uneven gum line, exposed roots, and what some people refer to as a "gummy smile," can be addressed with modern technology and techniques.
Enamel Shaping – This procedure may involve the removal and contouring of your enamel, which can also be combined with bonding to ensure you get the teeth that are the right length, shape, and position.
Teeth Straightening – There are several techniques and tools that can help reposition your teeth and even improve your bite.
Not Just a Pretty Smile
It's important to note that many of these procedures aren't just cosmetic. Some of them can help restore the functionality of your mouth. Replacing missing teeth, fixing their alignment, and replacing broken teeth can help you start eating and speaking normally again.
There is definitely a difference between a smile makeover and a full-mouth reconstruction. Cosmetics are elective procedures, while a reconstruction is usually performed when there is an emergency. However, you will still notice a lot of great benefits to from these procedures that go past simple appearances.
What Makes It All Possible
It wasn't that long ago that the materials used in many of these procedures had some drawbacks. They wouldn't last very long, they were prone to new stains, and could chip and crack over time.
Modern composite resins and porcelain veneers have changed a lot since then. Now they can be placed with minimal restructuring and we can reshape your mouth with just a few procedures. The results last much longer, and you can see immediate improvements.
Digital technology has also made a lot of these advancements possible. We can see the results we're aiming for before we even get started, we can create the necessary images to develop custom crowns, and we can get a good look at what's really happening with your teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry is a great option for a lot of people. Don't let self-conscious thoughts keep you from hiding your great smile any more.

The study, published in the journal 'Science', concluded that those born were "less likely to be in more risky occupations like self-employment".
"There may be implications for China in terms of a decline in entrepreneurial ability," said Lisa Cameron, one of the lead researchers on the study.
The study, "Little Emperors: Behavioural Impacts of China's One-Child Policy" compared adults born just before and after the one child policy was put in place in 1979. It aimed to measure social skills such as trust and risk-taking.
Researchers conducted a series of economic games with more than 400 subjects.
They found that those who were only children as a result of China's one child policy grew up to be adults who were "significantly less trusting, less trustworthy, more risk-averse, less competitive, more pessimistic, and less conscientious," a press release announcing the findings said.
Cameron said researchers observed the negative effects of being an only child in China even if there was significant social contact with other children while growing up.
"We found that greater exposure to other children in childhood – for example, frequent interactions with cousins and/or attending childcare – was not a substitute for having siblings," she said.
And they said the results could not be explained by other factors, such as participants' age and whether they might have become more capitalistic over time.
The research was gathered by Cameron, along with her colleague Lata Gangadharan – both from Monash University – along with Xin Meng of the Australian National University (ANU) and Nisvan Erkal from the University of Melbourne.
The study was published as the Chinese government considers relaxing its one child policy, which was introduced as a part of an effort to curb population growth.
An official report in 2011 estimated that some 400 million births have been prevented as a result of the measure.

When you have settled on the room's function, color and fashion, you're in a far better place to go looking for wall pictures that fit in with the general theme. Try out working on a single room at a moment, that way it is possible to blend 1 room into another. A great approach to turn your living room appear more alive is by selecting comfortable seating. Last but not least, attempt to make an impression that you use your living room more frequently than you generally do. Small living rooms can be unique in addition to have a specific character that's sometimes missing in a bigger room. The next approach to decorate a little living room is to modify the furniture arrangement.
For little and trivial kitchens, the ideal approach to conserve space is organizing the drawers smartly. You might just need more space. If you don't think you have sufficient space for a lovely makeover, we've got small bedroom suggestions to help you make a little bedroom that's big in style.

Clos sur la Fontaine Resthome
construction of a resthome
In terms of public space, the Clos sur la Fontaine Resthome project aims to fill a gap in the urban fabric without overshadowing the existing dwellings along rue Jonfosse. The architectural portion of the retirement home is based on straight lines and oblique angles. Its brick frontage is punctuated at regular intervals by openings that are treated in accordance with house frontages in the area. The road-facing curvature features a succession of three frontages, articulated using "shell" indents to emphasise the changes in alignment. These shells, like the attic floors, emphasise the gradient of the road, the overall effect being to create a visual connection between the houses on either side of the development.

My job is to recruit, attract, and compensate people; provide a moral compass; match their skill sets to different needs in the organization and then to make sure that they work collaboratively and collectively.
[Leadership] is connecting the dots to form a picture when others may know the dots exist, but not that they connect into a picture. Only you see that you have to connect the dots and make the picture emerge.
I've learned from history that so much of leadership is helping people deal with change and understanding how change happens. History is about the nature of change.
In business, you invest when things are not in good shape. When you invest at these times, you take a better position than your competitors. When there is a recession and your competition does not invest, they are giving you the advantage.
It's not until you discover your potential, your leadership, your capacities—then you can commit to trying to do big things.
You have to care for people—for the organization as a whole and for the individual. When the soldiers know you care for them, and they know you are competent, they will literally put their lives on the line for you.
What you have to do for employees is to be truthful and give them the facts, but you are also obligated to leave them with a sense of belief that the problems can be overcome and solved.
The most important thing to me was to teach selfdiscipline. Guys have got to be disciplined on the field and off the field. . . . I don't coach football; I coach kids.
First, you're not here to take advantage but rather to add. Second, you will not finish. Third, it is very important that the overall vision of what is being built be shared by several people over time.
I've always been a risk taker. But I've always been able to look at the downside and never bet the farm. We've done things that haven't worked out, but we've had a lot more winners than losers.
Never did I think of giving up, because of all the employees I was responsible for. Moreover, once I establish a goal, I will never give up until it is reached.
To me, the most important leadership word is courage because as a leader you have to be at ease with the possibility that you might fail.
Gary Burnison's No Fear of Failure offers insightful, candid conversations with some of the world's top leaders in business, politics, education, and philantrophy.
With brilliance and clarity drawn from first-hand experience with some of the world's most celebrated leaders, Gary Burnison has written one of the most important and useful books for 21st century leaders.

User admin and authorization
User admin and authorization used to be easy in the old days. We defined roles with authorization in R/3 DEV and C&T to R/3 PRO. When Workplace added to our system landscape, user admin and authorization became very difficult. Should we use CUA? Which should be the "central system" in CUA environment, R/3 DEV, R/3 PRO or Workplace? Where to add a user? Where to do the authorization?
A lot of this is personal preference, but in my experience... It is better to have one CUA setup for non-production clients and instances, and another for production. I would set up CUA to run out of WP controlling production (however in my experience it works best if CUA can have its own client for administration). For Non-Production: I would setup up a client "001" on your Dev box to control all of the other non-production clients. CUA is a great tool, I have implemented it twice, over multiple landscapes and versions. But, it does complicate things. Just wait till you have to do a client copy...

The HTC One (M7) went on sale last year in March, and it looks like its successor, the HTC M8 (HTC One 2?!) will start being sold in March of this year, too (the end of Q1 2014). The phone should be available on all four major carriers in US, although we don't know yet if it will launch on all of them at the same time, or it will be a staged roll-out, depending on what kind of deals HTC made with the carriers.
It will be interesting to see if HTC actually names it the HTC One 2, which would sound pretty weird, especially to most normal people, or they'll just name it HTC One 2013, which while not ideal, I think it would be a much better choice.
We can expect the device to have a 1080p screen, between 4.7" (if they keep the speakers on the front, which they probably will) and 5", 32 GB of storage by default, 3 GB of RAM, hopefully an 8MP "UltraPixels" camera with a 1/2"-2.3" sensor (whichever helps them get 2um pixels like before, at an 8MP resolution), and probably Qualcomm's next processor after the Snapdragon 800 (the one that will come with Adreno 400/420).
I do think that part is a little disappointing, though, especially since Samsung has basically hinted that the Galaxy S5 will have an ARMv8-based 64-bit CPU, and it will arrive only 2 months later. So the HTC M8 will be one of the very last flagships with an ARMv7 processor. This means HTC needs to push the M8 hard out of the gate, and take full advantage of that 2 months gap. They need to make sure a lot of people will hear about it, and think it's great, otherwise everyone might forget about it after new phones come out a few months later. This is probably not going to be easy for HTC, since they're losing money already, which means they probably won't have be able to do a lot advertising.
However the HTC M8 does, HTC will need to prepare another flagship for fall 2014, with an ARMv8 chip, because otherwise they'll lose even more money for the rest of the year, much like they did this year, since the One Max didn't do so well.

(Reuters) - New Jersey released a draft energy plan on Monday that provides an initial blueprint for the total conversion of the state's energy profile to 100 percent clean energy by 2050:
The plan, called Draft 2019 Energy Master Plan, advances New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's goal of 100 percent clean energy by 2050, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) said in a release.
The plan defines clean energy as carbon-neutral electric generation and maximum electrification of the transportation and building sectors to meet or exceed greenhouse emissions reductions of 80 percent relative to 2006 levels by 2050.
The BPU said the plan would create a significant number of jobs and economic benefits for the state, in addition to widespread environmental benefits.
The plan includes electric vehicles, more renewable sources of power, energy efficiency and modernization of the electric grid.
The BPU, which is overseeing the program, said comments on the draft plan are due by Sept. 16.

Many great Missourians (Mizzourans?) showed me how proud they were of their state and her connections to the US Navy
Many great Americans showed me how proud they were of working on the USS Missouri in their jobs with Northrop Grumman ship Building, Electric Boat, General Dynamics and other ship building contractors.
Many great Sailors showed me how proud they were of the newest Virginia class, nuclear powered attack sub in specific and their Navy as a whole.
It was picture perfect weather, bright and sunny - I have the wicked sunburn to prove it - yet breezy and cool.
I managed somehow to drag myself out of bed at 0600 yesterday morning, which was quite the feat! After all my traveling lately, sleep hasn't been top on the list. But if anything could get me up early....it's the Navy! I made it down to the US Navy Submarine Base in Groton, CT in less than two hours. Gotta love these Saturday morning drives!
Wendy of My Military Life met me in a nearby parking lot and drove me in. I had the pleasure of meeting her son and husband. After one quick seat upgrade (that's how we roll!), we were settled in a great spot well before the ceremony began. This gave us time to walk around and "work the crowd" lol. we popped into the press section and introduced ourselves to the various public affairs Sailors. In particular we talked with one Sailor about all the cool things she has experienced in the Navy. She spoke of meeting living history in the form of retired Sailors, especially those who fought at Midway. Then she announced that she was retiring soon and I was confused because she looked really young. She laughed and thanked me for the compliment...but you would have paused too!
We met @SubGru2. It's always funny to walk up to a stranger and say "I follow you!" But better than that, I got to meet @CarolCasey who is a "Tweep" I have corresponded with for a while and a fellow member of Project Valour-IT Team Navy. Carol was a WAVE and is from "Missoura". She wants to remind everyone..."Submarines are NOT ships - they ARE boats!" And here I thought "Boats" was an affectionate term for Boatswains Mates. So what do you call a boatswain's mate when he/she is on a sub?
The remarks weren't too long and Rep Ike Skelton was the best of all speakers. He wasn't just up there talking....he was sharing his many connections with the Navy, with America and with every USS Missouri. Skelton's father served on one of USS Missouri's predecessor's the BB-11.After USS Missouri's ship's sponsor, Becky Gates (she brought some guy Bob with her) gave the order to "Man this ship and bring her to life!"...the roar of "Aye, aye ma'am!" in return was deafening. The crew was standing right behind us, in front of the Navy Band Northeast. Speaking of which. People were raving about the band. I was like "Yeah, they're good." But so many people said it and repeated themselves.....I guess they are unusually good. Does this mean I am spoiled? Anyway, the Navy Band Northeast was fantastic...as always.
After the Sailors ran aboard the boat and the (help me out here...) masts? pipes? protrusions? Come on! I am a surface warfare girl, this is not my forte. Dad was a Tincan Sailor. USS Constitution is a frigate. Anyway, it was quite the sight.
***UPDATE - Bubblehead posted about the commissioning and he had the correct terminology....cause he is Bubblehead - it's "cycle the masts and antennas"**
Then there was lots of cheering and a loud whistle from the sub and returning alarms sounded elsewhere on the base.
There was a reception with what was, from all accounts, completely fabulous BBQ. I didn't eat, between the sunburn and being tired and facing the drive home, I didn't think it was wise to do more than drink water. Which they had a lot of.
Everyone moved from the pier to the reception tent, I saw the CNO. I grabbed Wendy to bring her over. ADM Roughead was greeting everyone and taking pictures. I shook his hand and it took him a sec to realize who I was, obbing to the surface in this sea of humanity. But then he greeted me warmly. He took a picture with Wendy and I. It would have been tempting to talk longer, but there were people (and BBQ!) waiting. Inside the tent I spotted his wife and wanted to say hi, but she was just sitting down to eat. then when I went back, I overestimated time-wise and they were gone. So, just know I was thinking of you Mrs. Roughead.
There had to have been more people than they expected because every seat in the tent was full and loads of people ate standing up outside. I know it's a southern thing....but serving BBQ to a bunch of guys dressed in white??? LOL! But I didn't see any spills. I wonder if that was because it was so good, no one wanted to lose even a drop?
So you could spot the people from Missouri because they were wearing their state flag (every guest was handed a small state flag on the way in as well as a program) in their shirt pockets or in their hats. Hats....hmmm, now that is something I could have used. Did I mention that my nose is glowing red like Rudolph?
I spoke with one woman who was visiting from Missouri. Her husband's fraternity donated the silver service for the wardroom in honor of a deceased fraternity borther who was in the Navy. She said when they were told by the commissioning committee that anyone who particpated could go.....she told her husband that they could visit their daughter in Hartford and kill two birds with one stone. She was having a great time. I was told later that she also spoke of the Sailor in question very movingly at the previous night's reception. I will have to check the program to see if there is any info there.
As people were wrapping up their BBQ, I was leaning on a jersey barrier and people watching.
A man came off the pier in a suit with a box under his arms and walked toward a group of Sailors in NWUs. I think the Sailors were some sort of security. The man shifted his box and shook the hand of each Sailor thanking him for his service. Then he continued toward the opening in the barrier near me and I called out "Now come over here and meet me." Of course he did. I shook his hand and said "I'm Maggie" he smiled and told me he was Charlie. I asked what he was did and he downplayed. I laughed and said "Charlie, you have a box and badge and a list. You are doing something. Are you on the commissioning committee?" He said he was and I complimented them for their web page and Facebook page. Charlie told me he was retired Navy and he was from Missouri. LOL! Clearly. He asked if I was local and I told him I was from Boston. He asked if I would say "Harvard Yard." Now normally when people ask me that I say "Yes, I can" and walk away. But Charlie was just so darn cute, I had to say it for him.
After that, we all headed out. But there may be another adventure with Wendy next weekend....stay tuned!
Someone posted a video link on the Commissioning Committee's Facebook page. It is pretty much exactly my view. If you were to peek over the shoulder of the 3rd Sailor from the left, I was in a chair directly in front of him.
Here is a story on the commissioning from Navy.mil

Looking for more information on FundRequest?
I've been checking out this new cryptocurrency token to learn more about it and share my honest review.
Before I start…
We've put together a list of top cryptocurrency recommendations for our readers:

FundRequest Review: Your Best Choice
FundRequest is a decentralized, innovative platform made to solve the problem of the open source industry.A lot of developers use up their time for free in some open source software that is not an ideal system.
FundRequest is aiming to make the system a bit more efficient for many developers by producing some crowdfunding system using the Ethereum blockchain. Developers in FundRequest can address bugs as well as work on an open source software whereas programmers solving all these bugs can be awarded in cryptocurrency form.
FundRequest is truly more than a bug bounty premium platform.
An attempt to launch a radical approach towards an open source development is being made. This will benefit developers that are producing the code and also the organizations that will make use of the code in their programs.
FundRequest is a platform for crowdfunding that was founded in Belgium. It started in 2017, August. A lot of joy surrounds this project because developers will be compensated in crypto coins and they will also contribute to some features of the platform.
The platform will offer highly open-source contributions that will be rewarding. Even though there's still a lot of work to be done in improving the idea, Crowd sale of FundRequest has begun. This platform makes use of Ethereum smart contracts to enable users to contribute ideas to the developers for enhancing the code, adding new features and finding bugs.
Users that will need their codes to be enhanced will be able to produce smart contracts for each job. Funds will be held in some contract until the contractor accepts the solution or if nobody claims that particular bounty.
About Fund Request
This company is still finalizing certain details around its project and the technology accompanying it. The platform will back MetaMask, a Chrome plug-in that will allow users to quickly set up their account from Ethereum and gain access to apps. There won't need to run Ethereum nodes. The metal mask technology will let users fund their smart contracts in the browsers they will use.
A smart contract will be associated with a certain identifiable problem such as GitHub or Stack Exchange question. Additionally, that specific smart contract will be funded with Ethereum. Users who have FundRequest plugin will be able to see a smart contract related to a particular problem. If the users resolve an issue successfully, the funds are going to be sent to their Ethereum account associated with their username. This, in reality, presumes that there's an integration with GitHub and Stack Exchange identities.
By the way, be sure to check out my Latium and PayPie reviews.
Who is behind Fund Request?
FundRequest is a platform in which developers from the whole world can be compensated for their work. The team is made up of the strategy advisor, Tim Dierckxsens and Tom Degroote who is responsible for the platform's infrastructure. Quinten De Swaef and David Hanson are the core developers. Karel Striegel is the founder of FundRequest.
Why use FundRequest?
The platform will offer a fantastic medium for developers to have clear feedback from loyal users. This will include instant feedback, fixes, bugs and everything else that would help them in improving their products as well as the services.
The project is fully based on Ethereum crowdfunding. The platform will let its users claim a portion of the fees associated with utilizing the network. This platform will remove a commission fee of 10% on all distributed Ethereum, and it will take 90% of the fee that will go to the holders of the token.
CrowdFunding Sale Terms
The CrowdFunding idea materialized on February 1st, 2016. It's interesting that its participants required Ethereum and there was up to 2 million tokens. The initial price was just .2 Ethereum for each FND. This was later increased to .25 Ethereum for each FND. An approximate tokens evaluation is currently between $3.2 as well as $4 million.
Fund Request Conclusion
The FundRequest team is finalizing portions of the technology stack. However, many details concerning the project can be found in their whitepaper. The team is working presently on the project part-time, however, the sale has allowed them to shift to build the platform full-time.

I'm a big believer in taking vitamins – not to replace a healthy diet but to supplement it – ensuring that my body gets all the minerals and vitamins it requires to function normally and look healthy.
Trichologists have found there is a strong link between your overall nutrition and the state of your hair, and vitamin deficiencies can contribute to dull, weak, and thinning strands. Hairburst is a new vitamin supplement scientifically proven to maintain healthy hair growth and I over the last month I have been trialling the supplement.
Hairburst Chewable Hair Vitamins (30 day supply, RRP £19.99)* feature Biotin, Vitamin B5, B6 and B12, Selenium and Zinc, which are the building blocks of healthy hair. The product has been specially formulated for people who find it hard to swallow tablets and the recommended course is two gummies daily.
Even with the best will in the world I find remembering to take supplements can be a chore. It can also be downright difficult if you haven't got a glass of water to hand, or the directions say that you can't take them on an empty stomach. Hairburst makes it easy with their chewable heart shaped strawberry flavoured vitamins which you can take whenever and wherever. And they taste delicious!
Hairburst vitamins are a really easy way to ensure you are taking the essential vitamins to maintain healthy hair growth and they have definitely helped me maintain glossy and healthy hair. I also love the fact that they taste great and make taking vitamins enjoyable. The only negative is that because they contain bovine gelatine the gummies are unsuitable for vegetarians.
You can purchase Hairburst Chewable Hair Vitamins at Holland & Barrett stores nationwide.
How do you maintain healthy hair?

I have very fond memories of this recipe. It was a school holidays treat to go to Grandma's for Reibekuchun (Riber-koo-un). We didn't just go there to be served this delicious treat, we had to help prepare it. That was half the fun. Grandma didn't have a food processor so all the grating had to be done the old fashioned way, with a grater. So I'm describing this recipe as I remember it but if you have all the mod-cons, by all means use them, it will save a few fingers!
1.5kg potatoes peeled
1 large onion
3 eggs beaten
1/2 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon parsley
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and parsley in a bowl. Dice onion finely and place on paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Now let the grating begin, this is best done as a team sport, after so long the next person takes over, otherwise it becomes a mammoth task! Grate the potato on a medium sized grate. As you go put it on paper towel to absorb the excess moisture before putting into the bowl with the flour etc. Add the beaten egg and mix together.
Heat oil in a heavy based frypan. Place a spoonful of mixture in pan and gently flatten out with the back of the spoon. Fry until crisp and golden brown on both sides.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Also an applesauce goes well with it too. But as kids we just got stuck into it without the extra's.

About Us
For every successful marriage, there are usually more than a thousand that didn't meet a blissful end. There is no doubting it that women suffer the most from heartbreak.I believe the negative impact of heartbreak can be reduced if women are properly educated on how to go about it. Women are sometimes overwhelmed by their emotions and say things that they don't mean which may threaten their relationship.
New Born Care
One of the hardest challenges mothers face in our modern society is balancing motherhood with their career.

Experience In The Labor Room
The sensation of childbirth was similar to having the biggest poo of my life. I have been pushing for almost thirty minutes and I could literarily feel all the strength in me drain. Each spasm came with a sharp pain and a wave of contraction that made me feel I was close to delivery but nothing at the end of it.

Calvin Lom is an old-school, analog, black-and-white photographer who has hundreds of thousands of negatives documenting a changing New York City. The images he shows us in this video are of prints that utilize digital image capture via the usage of a Leica Monochrome camera.
When he first moved to Manhattan, Calvin had to get rid of two-thirds of his belongings, and he wondered if he would have to trash his artwork. Lucky for us, Calvin instead decided to preserve his work in his Manhattan Mini storage room.
Calvin's photography acts as a time capsule of NYC, with perspectives of the Empire State Building that can no longer be seen due to new developments and high-rise buildings in Long Island City. It also includes an incredible shot of Rizzoli Bookstore… a 109-year-old Big West 57th Street landmark that is now tragically demolished.
"This is my life. This walk-in storage facility is what I am proud of," says Calvin, describing his storage unit. He imagines a future when a mass audience discovers his artwork: "This artist that lived, he left something behind," he imagines them saying. "Something that was important – that he protected. My whole life is in this room."
No Longer Empty and Manhattan Mini Storage are pleased to present Fresh Out of Storage, a unique project that brings to life and to light some of the many artworks that are kept in storage in New York City. No Longer Empty is a non-profit organization that activates public engagement with contemporary art through curated, community-responsive exhibitions and education programs that revive underutilized properties.
The project, which was open to all artists who have stored their work at a Manhattan Mini Storage facility, will be presented in three separate formats: an online presentation (www.freshoutofstorage.com) will showcase the work of all 35 artists who submitted their work for consideration; a video documentary, which will present interviews with 18 artists who were selected for Open Storage Visits; and the physical exhibition, featuring the works of ten of those artists, which will be held at the Manhattan Mini Storage facility at 645 West 44th Street (417), from Oct. 13th through 21st, 2016.
An artist's storage unit is a time capsule of both the creator and his or her works, holding years and sometimes decades' worth of material. The interviews made clear that the storage rooms contained not just works but intimate recollections of their making and the artists' lives at the time, and often, mining the depths of the unit became like a journey into the past.

Yahoo! And I'm even done early so that I can run away for Thanksgiving and not be counting words or fretting about any of my characters getting left behind!
Here's a little snippet from chapter two...a fun launching pad for a rather exciting series of adventures!
It was the day after their trip to Spain and the students were debriefing with Mr. Wiseman during their Gifted and Talented class. They had been anxious to finally reach the last period of the day so they could finally break the silence and talk about their mission. The class waited patiently as Mr. Wiseman read back through the report, watching him as he periodically popped a lemon drop in his mouth from his stash on his desk.
Espi sat in her usual seat in the front row, chewing on her thumbnail and swinging one foot nervously from side to side. X sat just behind her, staring at his empty desktop with his hands tucked in his lap. Every few seconds, he glanced up at his teacher, blinking rapidly, before he returned his gaze to his desk. Peter's long legs stuck out into the aisle as he sat with his elbows propped up on the desk positioned immediately behind X. He chewed on his lower lip and counted the ceiling tiles again. The twins sat a few rows over and whispered in their secret language. Charlie sat with his left foot resting on the seat of the desk in front of him, an ice pack covering his bandaged ankle.
Mr. Wiseman cleared his throat and all the students sat up at attention, eyes focused on the top of their teacher's head. A few moments of expectation passed, but Mr. Wiseman continued reading, making a few notes with his red pencil. "A false alarm," Peter said in a quiet voice resulting in a few chuckles from his fellow students. The laughter finally broke the silence that filled the room, the spell that seemed to hang over everyone. Leaning forward in his seat, Peter tapped X on the shoulder. When his friend turned around, he whispered, "Maybe it's my terrible writing that has him so enthralled. He doesn't usually take this long to review our reports."
"That's what I was thinking. I hope there's wrothing nong. Uh, nothing wrong," X stuttered. "I've been nervous all day. Ever since we got back yesterday and Charlie was injured, I've had this terrible feeling that we just had our trast lip. Last trip."
Peter nodded and patted X on the shoulder before responding. "Mr. Wiseman would never just pull the plug on our missions. He would be sure that we all had a chance to talk it through. This is the first trouble we've had since the trip to the circus, and I'm sure he'll take that into consideration."
"I hope so. I've been chewing my nails all day long. Mira...look at my hands," Espi thrust her hands onto X's desk. "Mi mamá took me to get a manicure this past weekend and now look. They are a mess. My mom is going to explode. Ugh." She shook her head sadly and went back to chewing on her pinkie nail.
Peter leaned back in his chair and turned to face Charlie. "How's the ankle? Is it still swollen?"
With a wince, Charlie leaned forward and shifted the ice pack. "Yeah, it's pretty puffy."
"The doctor wants the swelling to go down..." Charlotte added.
"...so they can do the x-ray."
"Then they'll know whether he needs..."
"...a cast or a splint." Charlie finished with a frown.
"Sorry, man," Peter said. "Let me know if you need help carrying your backpack or anything."
"Thanks. So far, Charlotte has been..."
"...your pack mule," she said with a smile, "Hee-haw!"
At the sound of Charlotte's donkey sound-effects, Mr. Wiseman looked up from the report and smiled. "Thanks for being patient, team. I know you are anxious to talk through yesterday's mission, but I needed to get my thoughts in order. You can imagine my surprise upon your arrival yesterday afternoon, so it's been very helpful for me to have Peter's report to grasp a better idea of what transpired while you were gone. Peter, great job with the write up, by the way. You managed to paint a very complete picture for me of what happened on that street and I believe that it will be helpful as we make decisions related to future missions."
"What do you mean 'decisions'? Espi blurted. "We were as careful as we could be. Please let us go back. Por favor, Señor Wiseman." Her fellow students nodded, leaning forward in their seats in support.
Mr. Wiseman lifted a hand in the air. "Calm down, calm down. I have no intention of terminating our Time Bender missions." A collective sigh filled the room. "What I mean is that we need to learn from this experience before moving on. By making appropriate changes, you will be a better team and better able to face any new challenges you might face. Do you understand?" The students nodded silently.
"Okay. Good. Now, I did have an opportunity to talk with Charlie and Charlotte's mom and dad yesterday. I called them just before the bell rang, after you five reappeared in a pile on the floor in front of my desk." This memory garnered a laugh from everyone.
Peter chuckled, "The look on your face, Mr. Wiseman, was priceless."
"Yeah, your eyes were bugged out of your head," giggled Espi.
"Well now, put yourself in my place. You had only been gone a moment and then suddenly there you are: Espi gripping Charlotte's pigtail, Charlotte clutching the cuff of X's pants, X clinging to Peter's belt loop and Peter grasping Charlie's hand who is sprawled on the floor grabbing his ankle. What a mess!"

In which I admit that I was totally scooped by Matthew Yglesias who notes that Rudy Giuliani claims to know that tax increases cause increased revenues and the Washington Posts alleged fact check falsely claims that "Giuliani's insistence that tax-cutting "produces more revenues" is ... a matter of fierce dispute among economists." This is false. Even right wing economists agree that Giuliani's claim is false.
I take my frustration out on a commenter and who I quote without permission
The thing about faith-based politics is that it's problematic all around. Reducing taxes can, and has, produced more revenue. It doesn't ALWAYS do so, as we have to ask which taxes, what kind of reductions, by how much, etc. But it's clearly not false to say that properly thought out tax reductions grow the economy and produce more revenue. It's happened too many times in too many places for any but the most partisan-blinkered to simply hold it to be false.
Posted by Robert Powell
Robert Powell I deduce that you are not an economist. Click the Washington Post link and note that Giuliani didn't cite any economists. Bush has not found a reputable economist who is willing to claim that tax cuts below current US tax rates cause increased revenues.
You seem to equate increasing the growth rate with increasing revenues. It is true that, other things equal, increased growth implies increased revenues. However, with tax cuts other things are, of course, not equal.
More importanly, there is no good reason to think that there is any tax currently imposed in the US with such large dead weight costs that tax cuts unaccompanied by spending cuts would cause increased growth. Growth is slow compared to tax cuts, budget deficits can reduce growth by crowding out investment. It is very possible that a combination of a tax cut and a budget cut would cause increased growth but a tax cut without a spending cut would cause decreased growth. In fact, this is a near consensus among economists.
Of course if the government spending is of a kind that contributes enough to growth, tax cuts combined with spending cuts are bad for growth. The far right wing economist Robert Barro likes to stress the importance of education to growth. He uses public spending on education as a proxy. It is possitively correlated with growth.
In contrast extremely extensive efforts to find a negative effect of taxes on growth using the standard data sets on growth in many countries since 1960 have been completely unsuccessful. Budget deficits, however, are strongly negatively correlated with subsequent economic growth. Of course it might be more interesting to look at growth over a longer period of time for the relatively few countries for which there are such data. Here the pattern is simple. Since WWII taxes are much higher than ever before and growth is much higher than ever before. Over the long time series the tax take as a fraction of GDP is strongly positively correlated with further growth, just as one would expect given the enormous contribution of government spending to universal education, health care (life expectency given per capita GDP is strongly positively correlated with subsequent growth) and basic research.
Your claim that tax cuts are followed by excellent growth is puzzling. Supply siders tend to pick growth since the trough of the last recession and give credit to their policies. The US pattern is simple.
20s low taxes high growth then a great depression followed by a large increase in federal spending which became huge during WWII. During this period economic growth was vastly more rapid than any other period in US history before or since.
In the 50s and 60s extremely high tax rates and rapid growth. In the 70s lower tax rates and lower growth. In the 80s lower tax rates and middling growht. In the 90s a huge tax increase and extraordinary growth, in the naughties a huge tax cut followed by growth much slower than in any high tax period except the 70s.

Published as: Resonant magnetic scattering with femtosecond soft X-ray pulses from a free electron laser operating at 1.59 nm, Phys Rev B 79, 212406 (2009)
We report on a resonant magnetic scattering experiment using soft X-ray pulses generated from the free-electron laser FLASH at DESY. Using the fundamental wavelength of FLASH at 7.97 nm we were able to detect the 5th harmonic at a wavelength of 1.59 nm with an average energy of 4 nJ per pulse. We demonstrated the feasibility of resonant magnetic scattering at an FEL source by using a Co/Pd multilayer as prototype sample that was illuminated with 20 femtosecond-long soft X-ray pulses tuned to the Co L3 absorption edge at 778.1 eV (1.59nm).
The quest for smaller and faster magnetic storage devices is a formidable challenge in modern magnetism. Ideally, one would like to probe elementary magnetization dynamics such as spin-flip processes and their coupling to the electronic system on their intrinsic femtoseconds time scales [Beaurepaire1996, Stamm2007]. At the same time nanometer spatial resolution and element-specific information are required in order to account for the complex composition of technologically relevant magnetic media and devices. Simultaneous fulfilment of these requirements mandates ultrafast magnetic scattering experiments using flashes of resonantly [Gibbs1985] tuned soft X-rays, in particular for the technologically relevant transition metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni with 2p electron binding energies between approximately 550 and 900 eV. In the near future, such experiments can be anticipated given the current construction of X-ray free-electron lasers (FEL) in the USA, Japan, and Germany.
At present the world's most powerful FEL - FLASH in Hamburg, Germany - provides uniquely intense coherent short pulses in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) energy range with the shortest fundamental wavelength of 6.5 nm. Evidence for lasing at higher harmonics of the fundamental mode has been reported recently [Ackermann2007] and the use of the fifth harmonic of the fundamental at 7.97 nm bring the FEL wavelength down to 1.59 nm. This wavelength has enabled us to demonstrate the feasibility of resonant magnetic scattering experiments at FEL sources.
FLASH was operated at the fundamental with an average energy per pulse of 15 µJ and 10 fs pulse duration. Self amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) soft X-ray radiation at the fifth harmonic (778.1 eV photon energy) was thus in resonance with the magnetically dichroic transitions of Co 2p3/2 electrons thus providing magnetic contrast for a scattering experiment. At the resonance energy, the fifth harmonic was detected with an average energy of about 4 nJ per pulse and a relative spectral bandwidth of 0.7- 0.9 %.
The experiment has been performed at the FLASH beamline PG2 [Martins2006] (Figure 1). A plane grating monochromator separates the fifth harmonic from the other wavelengths contained in the FEL beam. The carbon coated optical elements (optimized for FLASH fundamental wavelengths) lead to a low beamline transmission coefficient of 2.3 x 10-4 at 1.59 nm. Due to this fact, only 7 x 103 photons per pulse were available for the experiment here. Figure 2 displays line profiles through the direct beam with SASE switched on and off, showing that the average intensity of the ultrashort laser pulses exceeds the spontaneous radiation at the fifth harmonic by one order of magnitude.
Using the soft X-ray SASE photons we demonstrate resonant magnetic diffraction with a [Co(1.2nm)/Pd(0.7nm)]50 multilayer sample in transmission geometry. In multilayer samples of this composition magnetic domains with alternating up and down magnetization form with a typical spatial correlation length of the order of 200-300 nanometers. Figure 3 shows the measured magnetic scattering pattern with a pronounced small-angle signal. The observed intensity maximum at a wavevector transfer of qmax=0.033 nm-1 reflects the mean distance of 190 nm between two domains with the same orientation of the magnetic moment. This implies a domain size of about 95 nm. The diffraction pattern has been recorded within 1000 seconds and contains 6.7 x 104 scattered photons.
Detuning the photon energy away from the resonance reduces the magnetic scattering contrast. Figure 4 shows the CCD image measured with a photon energy of 783.5 eV, which is slightly off resonance. The scattered intensity has decreased considerably leading to a very weak small angle scattering ring. Taking the relatively large bandwidth of 0.7- 0.9 % into account we estimate with the help of the energy dependent magnetic scattering factors a signal reduction of a factor 4-6, which is in good agreement with the observation. However, we would like to point out that this bandwidth is sufficient to generate contrast for resonant magnetic scattering. This implies that there is no narrow bandwidth monochromator required. As a result, the beamline transmission losses could be easily reduced by two to three orders of magnitude with suitably designed optical elements.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the higher harmonics of the free-electron laser FLASH reach well into the soft X-ray regime, and provide access to the absorption edges of the 3d transition metals. In particular, we have demonstrated the feasibility of resonant magnetic scattering using soft X-ray laser pulses via the 5th harmonic. This opens the way for measuring element-specific magnetization dynamics on femto and picosecond timescales and on nanometer spatial length scales.
Optimized setups for soft X-ray wavelengths will lead to intensity gains of 2-3 orders of magnitude which will make optical pump and X-ray diffraction probe measurements possible at FLASH by using a single FEL pulse. The high intensities delivered on ultrafast timescales in combination with the high degree of spatial coherence of the FEL radiation will allow in the future the measurement of element specific spatial correlation functions in magnetic systems.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Flower Tips and other Flower topics.
Most churches and/or rural communities hold an annual Spring Decoration Day. Decoration Day is a homecoming event where a picnic, preaching, and singing are held in the community to mark the decorating of the cemetery. Unfortunately, many of the flowers that are placed in cemeteries today are plastic. This is a far cry from days of old when graves were decorated with flowers from a family's yard – such as violets, lilies, or tulips.
Yet, there are still individuals who hold true to the old ways and put fresh Decoration Day flowers out on their loved one's grave. While living flowers may not last forever like plastic flowers, it is the meaning that counts. The blooming of flowers in May represent the circle of life and that is why fresh, living flowers should be placed on graves.
If you have a Decoration Day on the horizon, you are encouraged to place real flowers in the cemetery. If the cemetery where your loved one is buried has rules about how long flowers can remain on the grave, simply take them home and plant them in your yard. It will be a living reminder of your loved one that you can enjoy throughout the year.

20 Reasons You're Right To Love Keanu Reeves.
Keanu Reeves has been in Hollywood for quite some time now. He is one of those actors that demands a high pay day every time he signs up for a new movie. Sometimes that works out for film makers and sometimes it doesn't. He has proven though, through box office results that he is well worth the risk. When he has a hit, it usually is a monster hit that generates mega millions of dollars.
Not everyone that makes a living in Hollywood is a good person. There are too many that are usually in the press for bad reasons. Reeves, however, isn't one of those people. He always does good things and his generosity is well documented. He seems to be someone that hasn't let his fame and fortune go to his head.
He made more than $114 million from his cut of the box office receipts for The Matrix movie series. Now that isn't all he made as he was given a flat rate to do the movies to begin with. You can bet that rate was pretty high. The box office take was just a part of the contract he signed to do the films and when all was said and done he gave away $80 million of that money to the costume and special effects people that helped make the movies a success. That's the sign of a pretty good guy.
#1. It's reported that Reeves was not above taking less money to work with other actors that he admired. He did this to work next to Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate."
Devil's Advocate
#2. It's also reported that he did it to work with Gene Hackman in "The Replacements." That was a great movie and if they got Reeves at a discounted rate the makers of the movie did very well.
The Replacements
#3. Reeves has played in a band called Dogstar. He started it after doing the "Bill & Ted" movie and they even played on The Tonight Show.
#4. Keanu made $114 million from the box office take of The Matrix movie franchise. He gave $80 million of it away to the people who did the costumes and special effects for the movies.
#5. He played an ongoing hockey game with strangers that lasted over ten years. It was an on again game that restarted whenever he was in town.

NEW YORK - Alex Rodriguez hit his second grand slam of the season and Andy Pettitte was nearly unhittable again in the daytime, helping the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 11-2 Monday.
Pettitte pitched seven innings, allowing three singles and Jhonny Peralta's 100th career homer, while striking out five without a walk. He retired his last 14 batters.
Both of Rodriguez's slams this season came after Mark Teixeira was intentionally walked ahead of him, and A-Rod is 5 for 5 overall when teams intentionally pitch around Teixeira. Rodriguez's seventh homer of the season leaves him 10 shy off 600 for his career.
The Indians trailed 2-1 in the seventh before shaky relief pitching did them in again.
Angels 7, Royals 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Ervin Santana pitched seven strong innings and the Angels didn't need any late-game heroics, roughing up Luke Hochevar early on the way to a win over the Royals.
Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer, Juan Rivera and Maicer Izturis each had solo shots off Hochevar (5-3), and Howie Kendrick had two RBIs to help Los Angeles kick off a season-long 14-game road trip with its fifth win in six games.
That was more than enough for Santana (5-3).
The right-hander scattered seven hits, allowing a run-scoring double by Jason Kendall in the fifth inning and little else to win his fourth straight start. He struck out six and has allowed six earned runs the past 29 innings after a shaky start to the season.
Athletics 4, Tigers 1
DETROIT - Rajai Davis scored twice and Trevor Cahill continued to pitch well as the Athletics beat the Tigers.
The win was Oakland's third of the four-game series and fifth out of seven during their ongoing 10-game trip. Detroit has lost five of six.
The start of the game was delayed by 2 hours and 42 minutes due to threatening weather, although no rain fell until more than an hour after the scheduled start. It started to rain again with Detroit batting in the bottom of the eighth, leaving the stadium almost empty by game's end.
Cahill (4-2) won his third straight start, allowing one run on five hits in 61/3 innings. Andrew Bailey got the final four outs for his 11th save.
Blue Jays 3, Rays 2
TORONTO - Brandon Morrow pitched seven strong innings, and Toronto threw out the potential tying run at the plate in the ninth inning.
Evan Longoria tripled off Kevin Gregg with one out in the ninth, but he was thrown out trying to score on John Jaso's grounder to shortstop for the second out. Gabe Kapler ended it by grounding into a fielder's choice, giving Gregg his 14th save in 16 chances.
Adam Lind hit a two-run home run for Toronto.
Morrow (4-4) gave up one run and three hits, walked two and struck out one.
Matt Garza (5-4), winless in five starts, allowed three runs and a season-high 10 hits in 61/3 innings.
