zara tie-up leather ballerina flats
I've never been a fan of summer sandals; they're always heavy, clunky things (why is the footbed always so wide??) that weigh an outfit down. A pointy flat adds a dose of put-togetherness, and this lace-up style is the perfect blend of gladiator and ballerina. I can't wait to wear these with simple floaty dresses and cropped jeans.

Yeah, it's been awhile since my last post – mostly because I've been busy with school and wedding planning. A fun little juggle. So far, the most daunting and disappointing task of wedding planning has been choosing a dress. Not even choosing one. Finding one. Finding one dress, out of GAZILLIONS of wedding dresses, that doesn't make me want to take off my underpants, barf into them, then put them back on.
Guys, if you're a bride who's not into bridal, the situation out there sucks. I've been told that this point in the planning process is "Soooo fun!! You're a princesssss!!!", but in my experience, it's not. Maybe because I don't have a princess's budget. Maybe because, to be honest, I don't like wedding dresses. And I know there are a lot of women out there who do – seriously, if you are one of these women, this is not a judgement on you. My sister wore the most Wedding of all wedding dresses (Strapless! Sweetheart! Mermaid! Ruffles!) and she completely rocked it! If that's your style, more power to you. But whenever I put on a dress like that – so… just about any dress in a bridal salon – I don't feel like myself. Back in kindergarten I dressed up as a bride for Halloween (cool your feminist jets, it's okaaaay, I'm an engineer now), and when I try on most bridal dresses, I feel like Kindergarten Bride Kate. Not actual Kate. Not the Kate who sometimes farts, and it smells, and she has to walk away.
But there are some dresses out there for real Kate (and for you, you stinky farter!!). So pop that champagne/crack open a High Life and let's say "okay, maybe" to the dress!
PS: If any of you know of other places to look for unfussy wedding dresses, let me know!

After hearing today's readings at Mass, I wanted to share a favorite non-fiction book with you all. For those who don't attend Mass, today's gospel reading was from Matthew 5:13-16:
Jesus said to his disciples:
"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
The priest gave a homily focused on the history of salt: the way it acts as a preservative, enriches other flavors, and is the origin of the word salary (soldiers of the ancient world were sometimes paid in salt). I was delighted because it sounded like the priest was drawing his examples from a book I love: Salt by Mark Kurlansky.
Ok. So the book is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, and I'm not sure how much explanation from me is necessary. It's a world tour using salt as a lens for history, so you get plenty of history of travel (trade routes, ability to preserve food for journeys), business history and culture (varieties of salt and the ways they gained sway, regulation/patent history/iodization), and culinary history (salted rotted fish juice served by the Romans turns out to be the precursor to ketchup — who knew!).
Not to mention history of folklore! The story of the Daughter Who Loved Her Father Like Salt is incredibly common across cultures. (So common, in fact, that you can page through a compendium of these stories created by the University of Pittsburgh). The stories come from a variety of disparate cultures, and I'm not sure how independent these cultures were when the stories were first told.
I've heard it argued in the past that when stories are common across cultures, they reflect important truths or lessons — here, obviously, the importance of salt and (depending on the retelling) the virtue of humble things. I've heard people make the same case that the variety of god(s) across cultures points to the truth of God's existence, even if the substance of the story has gotten muddled along the way. C.S. Lewis expands on this idea in The Last Battle (the final Narnia book) when a Calormene boy meets Aslan (the Christ-figure), even though he was seeking Tash, the cruel god of Calormen. Aslan tells him:
I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath's sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted
To my mind, the various tales of God(s) across cultures are less like the story of the salt-loving daughter and more like the crones who appear in some variants and drive plots with their sorcery. Most literally, these variant gods serve as deus ex machina that resolve stories by drawing on powers and knowledge beyond those of the protagonist. They also validate the ending, since the involvement of a divine being is a guarantor that justice is truly being served (think of Athena intervening at the end of the Oresteia). Gods and witches are too useful to the crafting of plot for me to assume they reflect a truth external to it.
I don't see compelling evidence in the cultural histories of various gods (particularly when they diverge so much from the God I'm being pitched in the present day), but I wonder if any of the commenters feel differently? Or if there are hypothetical cultural similarities you would find persuasive?
P.S. On a less scholarly note, I don't know if I'm unique in liking my chocolate chip cookies salty, but in case anyone shares my tastes The New York Times once ran a sea-salt chocolate chip cookie recipe as part of an investigation into ideal cookies. Enjoy, but start now! The taste testers found that the cookies were best when the dough was rested for 36 hours before baking.

Mimiko signs 2016 budget into law
Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo on Monday signed the State's 2016 Appropriation Bill of N123.7 billion into law with a pledge to ensure full implementation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the budget comprises a recurrent estimate of N69.19 billion, representing 55.93% and a capital estimate of N54,5billion, representing 44.07% of the estimates.
Mimiko pointed out that a key challenge to budget implementation was the inadequacy of fund which had been quite precarious of late.
According to him, this is not unconnected with the dwindling oil revenue, which incidentally provides about 90% of the country's revenue receipts.
The governor said, "it has, therefore, become rather imperative for us to seek to maximize our revenue receipts, continue to explore other sources while at the same time minimizing non-essential expenditure.
"I assure that despite the challenges before us, this budget will be implemented towards the continued delivery of dividends of good governance to our people.
"Our usual watchwords of accountability and prudence in the management of public fund would be passionately embraced to give good value for every naira spent and to ensure judicious utilisation of all appropriated funds.
"I am optimistic that the oversight function of the legislators will further enhance the proper implementation of the budget", Mimiko said.
The governor expressed gratitude to the legislators, the state judiciary and all stakeholders for their unalloyed support and cooperation since his government came on board in 2009.
"I enjoin you to continue to keep faith with the present administration as we take Ondo State further on the path of sustainable greatness", he said.

Susannah Cahalan was a young journalist in her twenties working at the NY Post when she started to show symptoms of paranoia. It started with very normal worries about bed bugs, but it progressed to full delusion along with mania. She ended up in a hospital for a long time (more than a month) while the experts tried to work out what the cause of her problems were. She diagnosed herself with bipolar disorder, but she was wrong. Eventually they worked out it was a rare autoimmune disorder that caused brain inflammation, and they had treatment to return Cahalan back to normal. Her book tells the story of her life in the newsroom, her relationships with her boyfriend and her parents, and her friends. She explains that she has almost memory of the time she was in the depths of her illness, so she had to reconstruct that time through interviewing others, watching hospital videos of herself, and reading the letters and notes that those around her wrote to her and each other. She brings her tabloid talents to keep the story lively, providing lots of dialog and focusing on the most alarming parts of what happened. The mystery about her illness and the variety of opinions from different experts provide the central theme of the book. Once Cahalan had got through her drama, she wrote about it for her newspaper and she got TV coverage as a result. Her case was also discussed in many medical journals. She saves some of her strongest words for the misdiagnosis by one of her doctors who said that her problem was that she was partying too hard and drinking too much. She contacted him in writing the book and found that he was unaware of the new medical information that led to her diagnosis and cure. She says that this is a major problem with the medical profession; doctors should not be so focused on cramming patients into their practice and should not lose track of new and life-saving medical research. Brain on Fire is an easy read detailing an unusual brain/body disorder.

Arsenal must respect the Europa League next season and take the tournament seriously if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, goalkeeper Peter Cech has said.
Arsenal's 2-0 win over relegated Sunderland on Tuesday moved them within a point of fourth-placed Liverpool and gave the London side an outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League if results go their way on the final day of the season.
English clubs have become more prominent in the Europa League in recent years with Chelsea winning the competition in 2013, Liverpool finishing runner-up last year and Manchester United set to play the final next week.
"A European trophy is a European trophy," Cech told British media.
"I have to say you want to have the Champions League one rather than the Europa League one but you can see more and more, big teams are treating the Europa League with respect because it is a European trophy.
"I only played in it once and was fortunate in one go to have won it. But obviously I would rather be in the Champions League, that's for sure. Let's see what will happen."
Arsenal will finish in the top four if they beat Everton on Sunday provided Liverpool lose or draw against relegated Middlesbrough.
"We have a difficult game, let's not forget this first," Cech added.
"We will concentrate on our game and there is only one thing we can do which is to win and then hope the other results will go our way, which if they don't, they don't. But we need to make sure we win our game.
"I never care about the other results so I am not going to start now."

Yesterday i tried to do my first experiment on upgrading kernel to my Slackware. I have downloaded all kernel 2.4.30 packages (kernel-ide, kernel-modules, kernel-headers, kernel-source) and also alsa-driver for the same kernel version from Slackware Package Browser website. It's not the latest version though, since the last kernel version for 2.4 version is 2.4.31, which has just been released few days ago. It will show up in the list in the next few weeks, after the Slackware developer customize the kernel package in order to make some changes so it suited to Slackware.
Here is what i did yesterday :
- make a backup copy of /etc/lilo.conf in case anything bad happened
- install all kernel package and alsa-driver using pkgtool (not UPGRADE)
- go to /boot and make sure vmlinuz pointing to the new kernel
- check the /etc/lilo.conf and check if it was correct
- run /sbin/lilo -v to make a lilo's changes permanent
- reboot (and pray)
- do some testing and check for kernel version with uname -a in konsole
- remove the old kernel package using pkgtool (do not use removepkg, since there are 2 version of kernel installed on your systems)
Can't wait for the next kernel arrives at Slackware's website.

In 1783 Sir Richard Arkwright built his impressive Masson Mill, just up the River Derwent from the existing Cromford Mill. Masson was a cotton mill, from bales of cotton to woven cloth, the only thing that didn't happen here was any colour dying of the cotton thread. It was the oldest continually running mill in the world, finally closing in 1991. Now the old paper mill that stood next to the cotton mill is a shopping village, but the lower floor of the cotton mill is a museum, still full of machinery for preparing, carding, spinning, and weaving the cotton. When we visited one of the doubling machines was busy making string and some of the weaving machines from the 1800's were started up for a demonstration. Just 3 machines were incredibly loud, a whole factory must have been deafening -apparently the workers had to communicate with sign language and lip reading. It's a fascinating place; a building full of history, lost knowledge and huge equipment all powered by the river. Most of the machinery is no longer in use but this place was a part of the industrial revolution, this kind of machinery and factory system completely changed British production and the way people lived and worked.
I find it really interesting but I can't identify much of the machinery! From the top left: Jacquard looms for weaving fancy patterns using punch cards, a doubling machine, 'the Devil' cotton bail shredder, an 1800's Lancashire loom, and part of the cotton preparation process.
Thread, string, and cotton fabric manufactured in the mill using the old machinery, as well as old bobbins and shuttles are available to buy – I have a couple of offcuts to create something with 🙂
Masson Mill is located between Matlock Bath and Cromford in Northern Derbyshire and is open Monday to Sunday with 2 machine demonstrations each day. Go in the summer, it was freezing in March!

"Jasper Contractors shows a deliberate lack of concern for the safety of its employees by refusing to comply with fall protection and other OSHA standards," said Brian Sturtecky, OSHA's area director in Jacksonville. "Falls are a leading cause of death in the construction industry, and OSHA is committed to doing what it can to ensure all workers are protected."
For its negligence, OSHA has proposed $140,000 in fines.

This is basically an expensive browser build, movie downloading and some "gaming". It started out as a under 1K build but that never happened, one thing led to another and boom here we are $1400 and change. Ok some will ask why I chose these components?
CPU: I could of chose an i3, Intel doesn't make unlocked i3's. now an i7 would have been a waste of $'s so I went with the i5-4670K.
CPU Cooler: Corsair!
Motherboard: Original choice was a Gigabyte UD3H, but then I wanted a red theme so it was between the UD4H and the ASUS Hero. I chose the Gigabyte, but barely.
Memory: Corsair!, Red!, 16GB's future proofed.
Storage: SSD: Corsair! HDD: Samsung 250GB Spinpoint was recycled from my old Dell XPS 210. Putting the HDD in the extenal bay, I got that idea from a build I saw on PC Part Picker. The location for the SSD was just an idea, if it got to hot I can move it to the bottom of the case below the front fans.
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760, Gigabyte board Gigabyte card. Why a 760 you ask? Because my son bought a 760.
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DGX it also was recycled from the Dell. The reason you can't see it in the photos is because my son stole it (ah, is borrowing it). The card reader with it's ugly USB cable was also recycled.
Wireless Card: Intel 6205 WiFi card, doesn't show in the pics. Because I'm waiting for Amazon to ship.
Case: Corsair! Was originally going with the 400R, but Newegg had a great price on the 500R. The quality on this case could be better. I wanted to use a push/pull config on the H100i, but there wasn't enough height above the motherboard. If I would have known this was going to happen I would have gone with a 650D.
Case Fans: Corsair!
PSU: Went with the SeaSonic SS-650KM, I wanted fully modular and the Corsair AX750 was more.
Cable sleeving the fans and the fan controller wasn't that hard as it was time consuming. I have to give a lot of the building credit to my son user: Bones, had a few snags with the bios and some configuring problems.
Nov. 12, added a pic. with the new Corsair AF120 Red LED fans.

Conference Room Microphone
A conference room microphone is perfect for home based businesses. More and more people are starting to work from the convenience of their own home. Technology is allowing them to do this by providing tools for communication that were not available in decades previously. A conference microphone is one of the tools that will allow you to speak to others within your company or to outside vendors or customers when necessary. The home based business owner can discuss issues with customers while taking notes and solving problems while using the computer. It gives a hands-free environment from which the home based business owner can work while talking to their client. Many times they can solve the problem with the client while they are still on the telephone with them.

Cassini Pictures: Saturn's Moon Enceladus Looks Young
Joel Kontinen
Saturn's moon Enceladus has been in the news rather frequently in the past few years (see, for instance here, here and here). Last week, NASA's Cassini spacecraft took some close-ups from this alien world that defies naturalistic expectations.
While researchers could see some ancient terrain, in "other areas, huge grooves and ridges and the absence of craters indicate recent geological activity."
This seems to be a recurring trend. Planets and moons that were thought to be more or less dormant are displaying signs of relative youth.
It's the very thing we would expect to see, if we take Genesis at face value.
Sokol, Joshua. 2015. First images of Enceladus's icy breath from closest ever fly-by. New Scientist (30 October).

Sunflower Kernel
Versatile Ingredient & Healthy Snack
SunOpta offers a complete range of sunflower kernel products, with a specialty in the extended shelf life SL®80 high oleic sunflower kernel.
In the 1970s, SunOpta Sunflower (formerly SIGCO Sun Products) transformed the sunflower industry by developing the extended shelf life high oleic sunflower kernel (SL®80). The creation of the SL®80 kernel provided a solution to the rancidity issue of traditional roasted confection kernel. The extended shelf life of the SL®80 kernel-up to five times longer than that of traditional confection-created new market possibilities, increased product applications, and offered a functional and economical option to manufacturers.
As a leading innovator and supplier, we work with over 250 growers to provide our sunflower products to more than 30 countries. We are the primary supplier of high oleic and value-added sunflower products and lead in the development of new hybrid sunflower varieties. Involved every step of the way-from seed to table-we provide the best sunflower kernel products on the market.
- Extended shelf life
- Pleasant texture (smooth mouth-feel and consistent crunchiness)
- Moisture preservation
- Cost-effective and allergen free nut replacement
- Nutritionally dense whole food
- Firm crunch & mild, nutty flavor
- Consistent visual characteristics
- Texture enhancement
- Value-added processing
- Premium sizes & variety of ounce counts
- Raw, flavored, & roasted
- Nutritious snack (roasted, salted, & flavored)
- Confectionary (ingredient in chocolates & sweets)
- Multi-grain (breakfast bars, cookies, energy bars, & crackers)
- Baking (breads, bagels, & muffins)
- Industrial baking mixes (ingredient in pre-made mixes)
- Toppings (salads, yogurt, & stir-fry)
- Breading and coatings (chicken & fish breadings)
The "kernel" is the inner, edible portion of the sunflower seed. Our state-of-the-art technology effectively and efficiently removes the outer shell, providing us with the most consistent and cost-effective sunflower kernels on the market. This modern technology helps us to preserve the natural identity, purity, and quality of our sunflower kernel products.
Sunflower is the most nutritionally dense whole food, power-packed with protein, fiber, Vitamin E, Folate, minerals, healthy fats, and phytochemicals. Sunflower products are a functional, versatile, and delicious food choice.

- Ideal heart-healthy fat profile
- Naturally low in carbohydrates
"Sunflower seeds are the best natural, whole food source of Vitamin E, almost all of which is alpha-tocopherol, the most biologically active form. One ounce of oil-roasted sunflower seeds provides a whopping 76% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin E." (Source: National Sunflower Association)

Huawei launches the Huawei P8 in Pakistan – Hands On
Huawei launched its 2015 flagship device the Huawei P8 in April. Today, it landed on Pakistan's shores and we got to play with it. The device looks really sleek and even with its full metal uni-body, it is extremely light. The Full HD 1080p display was quite impressive which could rival that of any current flagship device in the market.
The 13MP camera is the main attraction of the Huawei P8. The camera uses a "worlds first" 4 – color RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) Imaging sensor, which boasts 32% higher brightness in high contrast images and 78% less color noise in low light situations. The camera coupled with OIS is said to rival even some DSLR cameras. The design of the camera is an achievement in its self, due to the sleek nature of the device there is no camera bump. This makes the device look even more beautiful that it already is. The camera has two cool features which are worth mentioning, Light Painting and Director mode.

Adding a Server-Side Component to Your Mobile App
No longer is a mobile device its own ecosystem. Instead, it needs to integrate with services on the cloud to make use of services there — such as location services and mapping services from Apple, weather information from the National Weather Service, and even to access services provided to users, such as financial services offered by their banks.
You also may need to provide your own services on the cloud so that you can share data across apps, as well as to provide common server-side capabilities that will be consumed in a multimodal manner — that is, for mobile applications, web-based applications, and desktop applications. These services might be used only in apps you write, or they might be services that are of value to and used by apps written by others.
To provide your own cloud services, you need an infrastructure for them to run on. You can, of course, host your own physical server. Or you could also get a virtual server on the cloud. You may also need to run a web server. Here are a few technologies you may want to consider:
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
AWS is a collection of infrastructure services with a tier of these services made available for free for one year. These services start with Amazon EC-2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud), a web service that provides resizable cloud-based computation. AWS Free Tier includes 750 hours of time each month on Linux and Windows virtual machines for one year. Other web services range from databases in the cloud (Amazon Relational Database Service) to Amazon Simple Queue Service, which provides queues for storing messages between software applications.
Node.js is a software platform that uses JavaScript as its programming language and contains a built-in HTTP server library, that is, a built-in web server.
Google's cloud services
These include an app engine that provides abstracted, higher-level server-side services. Google is also now providing virtual machines through its Compute Engine product.
Microsoft Azure
Windows Azure is a cloud computing platform created by Microsoft that provides services for creating, running, and managing applications. Microsoft, like Amazon (above), provides these services through a global network of datacenters.
Incidentally, you don't actually need an external server in order to test whether your mobile app and your server-side components are working well together. You can set up your development machine as the server, just put Node.js on it, open your machine's firewall to accept http connections, and you are good to go!

The IRS today announced that the 2014 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) will close on September 28, 2018. The OVDP has been available for U.S. taxpayers with undisclosed foreign financial assets to comply voluntarily.
The IRS release—IR-2018-53—reports that since the OVDP's initial launch in 2009, more than 56,000 taxpayers have used one of the programs to comply voluntarily. The planned end of the current OVDP also reflects advances in third-party reporting and increased awareness of U.S. taxpayers of their offshore tax and reporting obligations. The IRS stated it will continue to use tools besides voluntary disclosure to address offshore tax avoidance.
The current OVDP began in 2014 and is a modified version of the OVDP launched in 2012 (that followed voluntary programs offered in 2011 and 2009). Under the OVDP, U.S. taxpayers have been able to resolve past non-compliance related to unreported foreign financial assets and failure to file foreign information returns on a voluntary basis.

The mid-2000s was a fairly cold moment in hip-hop but the one titan who stood supreme—at least on Billboard—was 50 Cent. His major label debut album was an international smash and his second album, The Massacre, was no different. Except for the fact it wasn't as warmly received critically, despite selling five million copies in the US alone.
The lead single to the album was the Scott Storch produced, Olivia assisted, "Candy Shop." Although the song shot to No. 1 on Billboard and was a worldwide hit, it's one of 50's worst songs. It's like a polished version of the much better hit, "Magic Stick" and features awful lyrics like, "If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho."
Although we defend The Massacre to this day (Surely it's flawed but trim six songs and you have a great album), "Candy Shop" is inexcusably bad and unlike most of 50's catalog, it faded faster than the average ringtone rap song.
But don't tell that to the song's producer, Scott Storch, who sat down in an interview with AHH and claimed he and 50 have a 100% success rate. It's true that they made a few hits together (including "Just a Lil Bit") but that can't be the only measure for success.

The Pie Factory at MediaCityUK had another record year of filming in 2013, following an increase in television and commercial productions shooting at the site.
Its 3 sound stages were used by Hebburn (Channel X), Car Share (Peter Kay), Give Out Girls (Big Talk Productions) and Daredevil (CBBC), Something Special (CBeebies) as well as a series of commercials.
"It has been great to see many returning productions back for the second, third and fourth series – with a few new shows and pilots utilising our spaces (many hoping to return in 2014) and music videos," stated Dean Sinacola, studio manager at The Pie Factory.
"The MediaCityUK business community has rapidly grown over the past year and the increase in companies moving in across the site has played a significant impact on the amount of inquiries and bookings we've had – highlighting the integral role The Pie Factory plays at MediaCityUK. We look forward to welcoming more productions this coming year".
The Peel Group-owned facility is so-called because it used to be the freshbake factory before the warehouses were transformed into a studio space.

text: Resources › For Students and Parents Things to Consider Sharing With a Roommate Why Waste Twice the Money and Space on Items You Can Easily Split? Share Flipboard Email Print Peathegee Inc/Blend Images/Getty Images For Students and Parents College Life Roommates Before You Arrive Academics Health, Safety, and Nutrition Living On Campus Outside The Classroom Dating Graduation & Beyond Homework Help Private School Test Prep College Admissions Graduate School Business School Law School Distance Learning View More by Kelci Lynn Lucier Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for over a decade. She is the author of "College Stress Solutions" and features on many media outlets. Updated July 02, 2018 There are lots of things you are forced to share in college: a teeny tiny living space, a bathroom, and pretty much every place you go on campus that's outside of your residence hall or apartment building. When it comes to sharing with a roommate, then, it's understandable that many students want to keep certain things as their own, as splitting things can often seem like more of a hassle than a benefit. There are a few things, however, that can actually be smart to share. You can save yourself time, space, money, and energy if you figure out what and how to share with your roommate in a way that is beneficial for both of you. And while the following items can work for most roommates in most situations, consider adding or subtracting items to better meet the needs of your individual roommate dynamics. What You Can Split With Your Roommate A printer and printer paper. Given that most papers, labs, etc., are turned in electronically these days (papers sent via email, presentations given via jump drives), you may not even need a printer and printer paper — much less two sets of them. In addition to taking up a lot of desk space, a printer and printer paper can often be found in computer labs across campus. If you feel like you need to bring a printer and paper, check with your roommate to make sure he or she doesn't do the same. A source for playing music. Chances are your roommate and you both have your own music collections on a laptop, iPod or iPad, smartphone, etc. For those Saturday afternoons when you really want to crank it up, however, you can easily share some kind of speaker system. After all, it's practically impossible for you both to be using a speaker for your music at the same time -- which means that you'll only need one for the room. A mini fridge. Rooms in a campus residence hall or nearby apartment building are notoriously small. And even the smallest of refrigerators takes up a chunk of space. Consequently, having two small fridges in a shared room will make a room feel overly cluttered in a matter of minutes. At the same time, however, you'll want to keep some dorm room basics on hand for quick meals or snacks. Sharing a mini fridge with your roommie might be the smart way to go. If you're concerned that a tiny fridge will be too small for both of you to share, however, consider getting one that's a little larger. Some of the bigger "mini fridges" just might end up providing more space, while taking up less room, than two of the smaller ones combined. A microwave. This one should be easy to figure out. After all, microwaving a snack or quick meal takes only a few seconds (or minutes, at the absolute most). And if you or your roommate can't wait a minute or two while the other person is using the microwave, you're probably in for a rocky roommate relationship. Consider sharing a microwave in your room or, if you're concerned about space, consider sharing with other students on your floor or even just using the one in the hall kitchen (if that's an option). Some required books. Some books, like an MLA Handbook or APA Style Guide, can easily be shared. You'll probably only use them sporadically during the semester, so why have both of you spend $15 for the same exact text that neither of you will use very frequently? Dishes. Sharing dishes can get a little tricky if you or your roommate are messy. But if you apply the if-you-use-it-you-must-wash-it rule, you can easily share some basic dishes. If all else fails, however, consider splitting the cost of a cheap stack of paper plates. That way, you won't worry about a mess, won't worry about breaking anything, and won't take up as much space as a traditional dishware set. Some sports equipment. If you and your roommate both enjoy a pick-up basketball game or the occasional Ultimate Frisbee match, consider sharing some equipment. This won't work, of course, if either of you plays on a team. But if you just want a basketball around for a game now and then, only keeping one in the room can help save space and money. Basic decorations. Say both you and your roommate want to hang some white decorative string lights around your room. Do both of you really need to bring some? Probably not. Whether you decide before you arrive on campus how to decorate your room or you both go shopping together once you've officially moved in, sharing decorations with your roommate can be a smart way to make your room feel cozy and cohesive without costing a small fortune.

Step Up Your Wine Game With Synek's Smart Dispenser
The Internet of Things? More like the Internet of Alcohol. Synek is the latest boozy brand to introduce a smart product for high-class drinkers.
The Somm wine dispenser quickly surpassed its $100,000 Kickstarter goal and currently has more than $130,000 with 29 days left to go. The device looks a bit like a wooden cooler, but Somm features temperature and aeration control, as well as an easy-turn handle.
Early bird buyers can pre-order one in stainless steel-and-onyx, beachwood, or dark oak now for $199. Big spenders will also get a copy of the Viticulture Essential Edition board game ($249), a second Somm for the office or beach house ($379), or a family of dispensers (five for $999).
You'll need to purchase the wine separately: Synek sells a range of sylos, each container with 2.25 liters (three standard bottles). Just open the Somm's "front door," insert the cylinder of alcohol, and pour.
A compatible mobile app teaches you more about each wine, lets you know how much is left in a sylo, and auto-orders more before you run out.
"The traction so far has been amazing, but we're not ready to stop there," the team wrote in a project update. "Let's push this Kickstarter as far as we can, because the more funding we get now, the more we'll be able to do for you, our community." New partnerships, exclusive wines, and other updates are expected over the following weeks, so keep an eye on the campaign for more details.
Synek hit the scene in the summer of 2014, when it unveiled a new draft system that promised to serve any beer fresh from the tap, whenever you want. Hidden inside a storage-and-distribution box (about the size and weight of a toaster oven) is a pressurized cartridge that can be filled from any beer holding tank, keg, or tap. Bags are interchangeable and maintain carbonation outside of the machine, meaning you can pour a pint then switch to a different variety without losing quality.
The original Synek product raised $648,535 from 2,191 backers.
As part of the new campaign, drinkers can pony up $498 for a Somm and beer dispenser.

At Palo Verde Cancer Specialists, we're proud to help our patients battle even the most severe forms of cancer through high-quality, cutting-edge treatments. As a leading provider of cancer treatment in the Phoenix area, we operate six state-of-the-art treatment centers located throughout Glendale, Scottsdale, Payson, and the greater Phoenix area, and we work to personalize care for our patients. We understand that the fight against cancer can be overwhelming, but we're here to help – and to help you understand your condition, we've compiled a few of the most common questions about esophageal & stomach cancer alongside their answers.
What is esophageal & stomach cancer?
Technically speaking, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer are two separate conditions, referring to cancerous growths that form in the cells of the esophagus and the stomach, respectively. However, they're often lumped together because they're both fairly rare and both start in the GI tract.
What causes esophageal & stomach cancer?
As with most cancers, scientists don't fully understand the direct causal mechanisms of E&S cancer, but research has identified a number of reliable risk factors. Risk factors are variables that, if present, increase the likelihood of someone developing E&S cancer at some point in their lifetime. The main risk factors for esophageal and stomach cancers include:
What are the signs and symptoms of E&S cancer?
The symptoms of esophageal and stomach cancers can vary greatly depending on the specifics of the condition, and unfortunately, they may not produce symptoms until an advanced stage. That said, any of the following may be signs of E&S cancer:
What are the treatments for esophageal and stomach cancer?
Treatment options for E&S cancer vary depending on the specifics of the patient and the condition, and only you and your doctor can decide which treatments are right for you. The most common treatments for esophageal and stomach cancers include:
Often, your cancer doctor may decide to combine two or more of these treatments to achieve the best outlook.
If I have stomach surgery, will I still be able to eat?
In many cases, patients who have surgery for esophageal and stomach cancer only need to make minor adjustments to their diet. In a partial gastrectomy, in which a part of the stomach is removed, many patients may not need to change their diet at all. In a whole gastrectomy, where the entire stomach is removed, patients may need to make some changes to diet but can still chew and swallow food as normally.
Whether you're facing esophageal, stomach, or any other form of cancer, the treatment team at Palo Verde Cancer Specialists is committed to helping you beat it. We're proud to offer some of the most advanced cancer treatments in the world in each of our six centers, and we'll work with you to make cancer treatment fit your lifestyle. Contact us today – we'll help you beat cancer and reclaim the healthy, normal life you deserve.

Dancing in the Rain
Cancer is the sudden storm that shatters the summer day.
The traveler, caught unawares, must set aside all her plans.
The pelting rain stings her skin like hundreds of tiny needles.
The downpour drenches her clothes, which drape heavily over her frame,
and chill her to the bone.
Surrounded by grayness and misery, she grows weary and cries out,
"Will this storm never end?
Will the sun ever shine again?"
Then softly,
from deep within,
comes a whisper.
She smiles as she recognizes her old friend.
It is Hope,
which takes the form of a child
who giggles,
then grabs her hand
and gleefully teaches her
how to dance in the rain.
The mixed media artwork on the cover is entitled "Dancing in the Rain". It won Best Mixed Media by a Healthcare Professional in the 2012 Lilly Oncology On Canvas: Expressions of a Cancer Journey Art Competition and Exhibition.
Oncology On Canvas SM; is an art competition and exhibition that honours the journeys people face when confronted with a cancer diagnosis. This biennial competition invites individuals diagnosed with any type of cancer—as well as their families, friends, caregivers and healthcare providers —to express through art and narrative, the life-affirming changes that give their cancer journeys meaning.
Oncology On Canvas was started in 2004 by Eli Lilly and Company to help address a need in cancer care that goes beyond medicine—to help those affected by cancer cope with the emotional toll of the disease.
Artwork from the 2012 competition is touring cancer centres, hospitals and patient advocacy group events.
Current Oncology is committed to the Canadian oncology community as well as oncology communities around the world. We are pleased to help raise awareness of this great program created by Lilly. Current Oncology will be selecting a new artwork for each cover from Oncology On Canvas competitions.

Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Juan-Les-Pins, Monaco and a whole series of inland villages form the unique character of the French Riviera; a harmonious blend of culture and spectacular scenery. The French Riviera is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country and if you go it is very convenient to visit from a campsite!
Inland, you'll find a surprise; the Grand Canyon of Verdon, a spectacular gorge that in some places is up to 700 m deep! It's much smaller than the Grand Canyon US, but intimate, beautiful and wild. This spectacular nature, along with the delicious food (and local wine!) makes the Riviera a real paradise on earth!

Why Does California Burn Every Summer?
Californians Gather To Celebrate Annual Wildfire Tradition
One really shouldn't make light of disasters, but as the Onion points out, the current fires in California are so predictable, they are almost a tradition. Two years ago we did a lot of coverage of the fires, and much of it is relevant to the events of today. We round up some of them:
What Turns Fires into Disasters? Politics and Planning
Around Los Angeles, researchers have found that about two-thirds of new building in Southern California over the past decade was on land susceptible to wildfires, said Mike Davis, a historian at the University of California at Irvine and author of a social history of Los Angeles.
"Another way to look at it is you simply drive out the San Gorgonio Pass, where the winds blow over 50 mph over a hundred days a year and you have new houses standing next to 50-year-old chaparral.
"You might as well be building next to leaking gasoline cans." More
California Homes Dusted With Corrosive Ash and Heavy Metals From Wildfires
There's no great mystery as to why lead and arsenic have been found in such great abundance amongst the ashes spread by California wildfires. Until just a few years ago, pressure treated wood sold for use in decks, railings, fences, wooden playground structures, and foundation sills was highly impregnated with "CCA" - the common term for a wicked brew of Chrome, Copper, and Arsenic salts. If large volumes of CCA-treated wood burned up, it easily accounts for much of the culturally introduced arsenic amongst the ashes. More : California Homes Dusted With Corrosive Ash and Heavy Metals From Wildfires
Wildfires Causing Further Deterioration of Southern California's Air Quality
....The wave of fires has stirred up large plumes of smoke that have been pumping soot particles into the atmosphere - the tiniest of which are responsible for aggravating several debilitating diseases, including emphysema, asthma and heart disease.
As Michael Kleinman, a professor of community and environmental medicine at UC Irvine noted, those particles "can penetrate deeper in the lungs and have harsher health effects," often causing "tissue damage, inflammation and irritation". The health risks of exposure are particularly acute since this is one of the first times so many Southern Californian cities have been blanketed by a combination of smoke and dust kicked up by stronger winds. More: Wildfires Causing Further Deterioration of Southern California's Air Quality
Global Warming or Not: The Debate Over California's Wildfires
As was so succinctly put by Salon's Andrew Leonard in a post about the controversy last week: "Nuance is a bitch". Indeed, in the wake of the wildfires that ravaged large sections of Southern California, a debate that had largely remained on the sidelines - whether global warming was causing an increase in the number/intensity of fires - surged to the fore with environmental groups, scientists and pundits alike weighing in with their respective takes on the issue. More: Global Warming or Not: The Debate Over California's Wildfires
Quote of the Day: Ronald Neilson on the Southern California Fires
This is exactly what we've been projecting to happen, both in short-term fire forecasts for this year and the longer term patterns that can be linked to global climate change. ...
You can't look at one event such as this and say with certainty that it was caused by a changing climate. But things just like this are consistent with what the latest modeling shows, and may be another piece of evidence that climate change is a reality, one with serious effects.

Joel Achenbach of the Washington Post points out that not everything can be blamed on global warming, that lousy farming practices, overpopulation and bad policies contribute. Morever, "Weather alarmism" gives ammunition to global-warming deniers. He notes:
"Last week, we saw reports of more wildfires in California. Sure as night follows day, people will lay some of the blame on climate change. But there's also the minor matter of people building homes in wildfire-susceptible forests, overgrown with vegetation due to decades of fire suppression. That's like pitching a tent on the railroad tracks.
The message that needs to be communicated to these people is: "Your problem is not global warming. Your problem is that you're nuts."

Crude prices slipped from an 11-week high to stay near $79 on Friday, as uncertainty about European bank stress tests and U.S. oil demand tempered a boost from positive corporate results and storm threats.
Prices have still climbed about four percent this week, with U.S. crude for September down 24 cents at $79.06 a barrel on Friday by 0505 GMT (1:05 a.m. EDT). They jumped more than 3 percent on Thursday as Tropical Storm Bonnie over the Bahamas was forecast to move toward energy infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico.
Asian stocks rose on Friday as strong earnings from U.S. economic companies such as Caterpillar eased concerns about a global slowdown, while the euro steadied ahead of European bank stress test results later in the day.
But sales of previously owned U.S. homes hit a three-month low in June while new claims for jobless benefits surged last week, Thursday data showed, the latest indications the economic recovery of the world's top oil-consuming nation remains tentative.
"There are still a lot of macroeconomic concerns around, and the stress tests from Europe are also spurring some uncertainty," said Stefan Graber, a commodities analyst with Credit Suisse in Singapore.
"We still have some weak spots in the oil market, and on a global scale, it is fairly balanced at the moment," Graber said, adding that "the fundamentals warrant this range between $70 and $80," within which oil has continuously traded for almost seven weeks.
Results of the tests on 91 European lenders are eagerly awaited by markets whose skepticism about the sector has driven up funding costs and hurt appetite for risk since Greece's debt crisis triggered fears the euro zone could unravel.
For stories on the stress tests, click:
"Sentiment could show some decisive improvement if markets think that the results of the tests are credible, that it's a fair assessment of the situation in the banking system and that only moderate recapitalization is necessary," Graber said.
Major companies including UPS and 3M reported strong revenues on Thursday, easing investor concerns about future growth and boosting Wall Street and commodities.
Forecasts call for Bonnie to pass over key oil and natural gas production areas to the south of Louisiana before making landfall in four days.
All the weather models show the storm will skirt Florida and move northwest across the oil-producing central Gulf of Mexico before hitting the coast.
The storm threatened efforts to plug BP Plc's Gulf of Mexico oil leak on Friday and officials said many of the vessels and rigs involved in the operation would prepare to move out of the system's path.

I sell, therefore I am.
OK maybe it's not really that deep. However, if you are now and want to continue to be a successful sales person there are at least 5 truths as it relates to your personal development
The solution in keeping you at the top of your game most likely comes down to your own self awareness and brutal honesty. If you're not completely aware of what you think, how you feel and what you are doing, it is nearly impossible to improve on your own.
It's amazing how many very successful sales people I come across that have no real idea why. And conversely, sales pros that were successful and just can seem to get their mojo back.
Most times when I see sales people struggling it starts as a manifestation of that person's lack of ability to coach themselves and recognize their short comings on their own.
Let's break down the stages to see where the role of self awareness fits.
The classic example of the Unconscious– Incompetent is the star sales person (the natural) who is promoted to Sales Manager. They often don't have a clue that they don't know how to coach or lead.
With often disastrous consequences, new managers are unaware that new skills are needed to be successful. We also see folks who are not the natural who are 'trying' sales. They think anyone can sell and there is no sales process or selling skills in their vocabulary.
The first thing each of us must do is to become aware of our strengths and weaknesses. This requires on– going assessment with the realization that we must always be ready to change and adapt.
Suppose there is a new product that your company launches. You quickly learn the new features and benefits. However, you just don't seem to be able to get the first sale. Perhaps you realize that you are not asking good questions. This stage is Conscious-Incompetent.
Your awareness that something is missing leads you to asking more questions. You are open minded to learning and trying new skills. At first, you struggle with the questions because you never needed to ask these types of questions with your old products. You have moved into Conscious-Competence.
Later – with practice, you become more fluid and are able to listen to the answers better. You begin to weave what your buyers tell you into the solution. Your 'conscious' awareness has lead you to the promised land – a new customer! With new success, you know how to get customers interested without much effort and you have become a Unconscious-Competent.
Ironically, the stages of learning suggest that an Unconscious-Competent may be the most vulnerable to complacency, over confidence and lack of self awareness. (See the new manger from the first example)
With every success comes a bigger ego and it becomes harder for this person to adapt if drastic change is required. The paradox is that we want to strive to become an Unconscious Competent and yet when we arrive we may think we are God's Gift to humanity!
The good (and bad) news is that the profession of sales humbles all who enter. If we can handle success in the same manner that we embrace challenges, the awareness never goes away. If you can honestly appraise your strengths and weaknesses in every situation, the ability to adapt and grow is limitless. You can get support from peers, coaching from people you respect and knowledge from industry resources, like Sales Swamis.
So, where do you fall? As you begin your journey to total sales consciousness as yourself these questions:

"Disappointingly, the picture for the construction sector in the UK this year has been essentially gloomy. It reflects what we are seeing in the market. The construction supply chain is having a difficult time in a very uncertain and unstable marketplace. Business confidence is fragile and this reflects the state of the broader economy. As a result, the largest slump in output has come from the private commercial sector.
"Unfortunately, this trend is expected to continue into next year and we are likely to see it persisting for the next 6-12 months.
"However, not all the data is dire – it was good to see new infrastructure output up by 9.9%, showing the largest quarter-on-quarter increase in growth. This could be a reflection of infrastructure projects benefiting from government incentives.
"Interestingly, growth was also highlighted by Markit/CIPS this month which showed construction output grow marginally from September to October.
"Hopefully, new orders will start to filter through and the forthcoming Autumn Statement will address some crucial issues around policy and delivery for the wider infrastructure industry through a revised National Infrastructure Plan, and a clear vision and strategy on finance and investment through the long-awaited outcome of the PFI review. It's vital that we get business confidence back so next year the construction industry can stand on its own two feet and start moving towards growth."

Hockliffe is a parish at the foot of the Chilterns, long and narrow in form, with an area of 1,028 acres, a mixture of arable land, permanent grass and woodland. The slope of the ground is irregular, and varies from 322 ft. to 445 ft. above ordnance datum. The parish is watered by two tributaries of the Clipstone Brook, one entering from Eaton Bray and passing north-east to Battlesden, the second in the south of the parish. The soil is rich loam, the subsoil clay. There are old gravelpits in the north-east of the parish.
Watling Street, the Roman road from London to Chester, forms the eastern boundary of Hockliffe, entering from Fenny Stratford in the north and passing south to Dunstable. Before leaving the parish it is joined by two other roads, one coming west from Leighton Buzzard, the other from Woburn in the east. Hockliffe at one time enjoyed an unenviable reputation for the bad condition of its roads. In 1633 Sir Edward Duncombe, as the result of a complaint of the justices of the county, writes to Secretary Windebank that there is no truth in the complaint, and that he has always kept the road between Hockliffe and Woburn in good repair, and intends to lay yearly on the same 400 loads of gravel and stone. Lysons, though mentioning their reputation, says the roads were greatly improved in his time. Various Private Acts have since been passed to improve the roads leading from Hockliffe to Aylesbury, Stratford and Woburn.
The village, which is situated in the south-west of the parish, straggles on either side of Watling Street for more than a mile. The church of St Nicholas stands north of the village, about a quarter of a mile to the west of the main road. North of the church is the entrance to Hockliffe Grange, an old house much modernized, beautifully situated on rising ground in a park of 40 acres.
The Manor House, on the main road, appears to be partly of 18th-century date, the older portions being half-timbered. Hockliffe House at the southern extremity of the village, is a pleasant-looking late Georgian building.
Two well-known names are included in the list of Hockliffe rectors: John Warner (1736–1800), the classical scholar and admirer of John Howard the philanthropist, who was succeeded in 1772 by William Dodd, the famous forger, who was hanged in 1777.
The following place-names have been found in documents connected with this parish: Chason, Coppid Moor, Devinson, Meggs Bonners, Moat Bank Close.

You might think that black beans (feijão in Portuguese) aren't too special, but it's not quite right when you take into account feijoada. This special dish even takes a whole day to properly cook. First, you cook the beans alone, then prepare the meat—pork or beaf—and put it all together with some smoked sausages until it gets the right flavour (usually around 12 hours). The stew is usually cooked in a thick clay pot. It's typically served with fried yuca, oranges, and white rice. Feijoada is considered a national dish of Brazil, though it is most popular in Rio. Since it's also very nourishing the dish it is more suitable for the cooler days of the Brazilian winter and spring (May—November).

When I first set up the Natural Pain Management Clinic in Piccadilly I was lucky enough to get a great write up in the Manchester Evening News. Since then I've built up a great many satisfied clients and gone from strength the strength.
The article by MEN from September 2011 is below and you can read some testimonials here.
A Chinese doctor specialising in an ancient form of acupuncture is hoping her 'healing' hands will help the people of Greater Manchester.Dr Nan Xia – or Nancy as she's known to her friends – has launched the Natural Pain Management Clinic in Piccadilly, Manchester.Her services are aimed at people suffering from muscular pain, chronic back pains, injuries in the neck, shoulder or knees as well as other problems including irritable bowel syndrome.
Nancy, 45, quit her job at the Chinese alternative therapy shop Dr and Herb, where she worked for over eight years, to concentrate on her venture.
She is one of the few acupuncture experts in the UK who is trained and experienced to perform equilibrium acupuncture.
The technique differs from conventional methods as it involves a five-second insertion of very fine needles into the acupoint of the body's meridians or the channels where energy known as 'chi' flows through.
The technique works by altering and helping the flow of the energy around the pathways of the body, concentrating largely in the muscle areas.
Nancy combines equilibrium and conventional techniques which she calls 'balanced acupuncture'.
She is also an expert in Tui Na, an ancient form of Chinese therapy which includes soft tissue, muscle and joint manipulation. Often referred to as Chinese osteopathy, it helps people in physical discomfort and pain.
Nancy said: "Acupuncture has been accepted by the mainstream NHS as an effective alternative method of pain control for patients suffering from chronic and acute pain. More and more people with chronic pain are looking to this method as an alternative or to use it alongside conventional pain relief methods."
Nancy trained with the Chinese military as a doctor and was a consultant for 20 years at the Beijing Military Hospital.
Nancy, who lives in Sale, wanted to explore other opportunities and left communist China for Manchester, where she started learning about traditional Chinese medicine and therapies.
She said: "I felt restricted in China in what I was able to do and wanted to leave for a country with more freedom and opportunities.
"Manchester has been my home for the last 10 years. I have been working for other businesses for so many years and felt with my experience it was time to move on and set up on my own."

Kind words
Ryan did an awesome job! He was exceptionally easy to work with – got all the shots I wanted and more. On top of that was very on top of things – always responded to messages within minutes and also very quick on returning photos – some the very next day and full gallery in just a couple weeks. I would definitely recommend to my friends & family, we were more than happy with our wedding shots!
When planning for my wedding, one of my biggest concerns was a photographer who could capture all of the details at the ceremony and reception, but also all of the special moments with the people there. Ryan with Collier Studios did all of that and more! He captured so many details in very creative ways, as well special moments like a first look with my father and my bridesmaids. Ryan was even able to be flexible when our timeline became rushed and the weather dashed our plans of taking pictures outside. Ryan kept pace with us and was able to find creative poses inside our church and reception to compensate for the changes in our plans, and they turned out so much better than what I had planned to begin with! I would highly recommend Ryan and Collier Studios for wedding photography, or any special event that you would want to photograph!
– Matt and Jessica Gregg –
"Ryan is very easy to work with during any event, and does an amazing job of capturing the essence and life of every special moment. The creativity he puts into his shots and designs truly showcase his tremendous talents. Ryan's photos makes our wedding day come back to life every time we look at our album."
– Craig and Kristin Aimar –
"Our wedding photo experience with Ryan was amazing! From his professionalism to his creativity with our photos, everything was perfect. Our photos turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Our family and friends love all of the photos just as much as we do. Thanks for capturing such beautiful memories from our wedding day!"
– Brian & Ashley Klee –
"Mike and I would like to thank-you for doing such an outstanding job photographing our wedding. When we look back through the pictures we are able to re-live the day from start to finish. You were a pleasure to work with and there was never a doubt in our minds that you had every detail taken care. Thank-you again for turning our wonderful day into beautiful photographs."
– Mike & Melissa Schmidt –
"Ryan was professional, fun, creative and so easy to work with. Hiring a photographer to capture your wedding day is a huge decision, but Ryan made it an easy one after seeing some of his work. We still get wonderful compliments on our photos every time we share them with someone, even now, over a year past our wedding. It is such a joy showing off our wedding photos thanks to Ryan's great talent."
– Amanda and Ryan Hammond –
"Ryan did both our engagement and wedding photos and they were amazing! Our family and friends loved his charisma and thought he did an amazing job. We are lucky to have met someone like Ryan who could capture the feelings on our special day.
– Abby & Stu Krueger –
Ryan! … All we can say is THANK YOU! You do such amazing work! We've both smiled, laughed and cried looking at the photos. They look amazing!
– Thomas & Brei Falkner –

Vacuum energy
|There is more information available on this subject at Vacuum energy on the English Wikipedia.
"WE'VE GOT A NEW CONTACT, UNKNOWN CLASSIFICATION!"This article has new content coming soon from Halo Wars 2, and may not be complete, confirmed or correct. Please update it as soon as any relevant and accurate material is available.
Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space throughout the entire universe. One contribution to the vacuum energy may be from virtual particles, particle pairs throughout the universe that blink into existence and then annihilate in a timespan too short to observe. Their behavior is codified in Heisenberg's energy–time uncertainty principle. The effects of vacuum energy are thought to influence the behavior of the universe on cosmological scales. In the early 21st century, humanity contemplated the theoretical possibility of using vacuum energy to create free energy machines. It was argued that due to the broken symmetry (in quantum electrodynamics), free energy does not violate conservation of energy, since the laws of thermodynamics only apply to equilibrium systems.
Vacuum energy originates from the beginnings of infinite numbers of alternate realities. When harnessed for power supply, these fledgling universes are drained of energy in their infancy, resulting in their premature deaths.[1] Virtually all Forerunner technology utilized the practically infinitely available vacuum energy as a power source, making possible their myriad of technological marvels. These included the Halo Array, as well as the systems used to make their shield worlds, such as Requiem, completely self-sufficient.[1] Forerunner reaction drives utilized vacuum energy to expel virtual neutrons from the rear of the vessel, giving it propulsion.[2]
When designing the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, Dr. Catherine Halsey made a note in her journal to ask Déjà about research on vacuum energy as a potential power source.[3] Being of Forerunner origin, UNSC Infinity's slipspace drive is equipped with a vacuum energy siphon.[4]
The effects of malfunctioning vacuum energy extraction machinery can be disastrous: when guano dust seeped into Covert Support Base 4276's vacuum energy extractor, its calibrations were corrupted, unleashing a "cyclone of quantum fury" that tore through the facility, warping both space and time and dimensionally displacing anything in its way. A wave of subatomic agitation was also released, softening metal and disintegrating polymers and thus damaging most of the facility's equipment.[5] Even well after the incident, the extractor continued to generate a space-time anomaly in its vicinity: when Fred-104 looked directly into the device, he experienced an overwhelming vision of cosmic grandeur, witnessing the life cycles of entire universes while losing his sense of self, time and place. This phenomenon was accompanied by a peculiar time dilation-like effect, in which Fred's mission clock had only recorded the passing of ten minutes while two hours had passed outside his frame of reference.[6] When six HAVOK tactical nuclear weapons destroyed Salvation Base and the Forerunner Suluhu Contemplarium it was built within, the destruction caused the moon of Taram upon which the Contemplarium was build to implode into the vacuum energy extractor that was powering the Contemplarium.[7]

I am posting a quick note on here although I am away on holiday at the moment, because I am aware that Dr Childress is commenting on my critique of his fine work Foundations today. I want to ensure that Dr Childress and my readers are aware of my position on his work and that the critique which was posted on the Parental Alienation Studies Group Newsletter was not intended for public criticism (if it had been I would have published it on here), but was rather for the discussion group to which we both belong. That said, I understand Dr Childress's point of view and reasons for publishing his response on his blog. Not being given a chance to reply in the group left him with no other option. I fully support his open discussion, even though I stand by my critique. I admire his spirit and as many of you will know, I share his combative style.
We need warriors like Dr Childress in this field and I have absolutely no intention of getting into a blog post war with him. I support his work and having read Foundations and his response to my critique I understand his approach. I do not agree however with some of the points he makes and I still do not consider that Foundations is THE answer, although I absolutely accept, that the tiny group of families which fall into the category he is defining as his target group for the label pathogenic parents require the most robust intervention.
Having been the subject of a recent covert attack on my practice from people supposedly working for alienating parents I understand what stealth attack feels like. I want to reassure Dr Childress that I am an admirer of his work and his combative style which I know is what is needed in people who work in this field. My critique of his work was never designed to undermine the approach he takes but was for professionals working in the field to discuss. I am a great believer that where there is a cause to fight (and this is one hell of a cause) one stands with those who are also fighting, unless they are potentially damaging to the parents we work with (and there are a few of those people but Dr Childress is most certainly not one of them). Where there are disagreements, discussion should be had privately in my view, which was why my post for the PASG was not posted on here too. I hope that Dr Childress is reassured by my public support for him on here and that he understands that whilst I may not agree with everything he says, I like the cut of his jib and I share his determination to end the scourge that is parental alienation (in all its forms). For me honesty and transparency as a practitioner (I should also clarify I am not Dr Woodall but plain old Karen Woodall), is the very foundation of what it takes to be a successful advocate in this field. Having felt the stab of a couple of UK based alienation 'experts' knives in my back this year, I wouldn't want Dr Childress or anyone else to feel the same sense of shock and horror that came with that experience. Knowing that someone also working in this field wants to harm my work with alienated children was a truly horrible experience. As another article in the PASG Newsletter so eloquently put it, being silenced as an alienation practitioner is one of the biggest risks for those of us who put our wellbeing and reputation on the line everyday in fighting for this cause. Fighting those who are supposed to work in the same field as well as everyone else and the systems that enable alienation is frankly, more than most could bear.
I bore it and came through it tougher, sharper and amazingly, more skilled, more able and more determined than ever. I let myself learn from the experience and today when I read Dr Childress's post what I wanted to do most of all was reach out and reassure him and everyone else that he and I are on the same page, made of the same stuff. I don't agree with everything he says and I still find some of what he writes problematic for the UK, but I wholeheartedly agree with his publishing his response and I welcome all opportunities to debate the issue both in private with PASG and in public and, I hope soon, face to face.
There are many wars to fight, blog wars with one of our own is not one of them. I stand with Dr Childress in his fight and with the PASG in the ongoing drive to further the debate about parental alienation. Having recently been invited to Blog for the HuffPost I now have a chance to get the issue out to a much wider audience (my first post has been liked by almost two thousand people, most of whom would never have access to this kind of thinking and debate). We have a chance to take this issue out to the wider world and that's what I will be concentrating on doing in the coming months. The fight is just beginning and Dr Childress and I, will, I hope, be warriors in it, together.
