A French professor of medicine and his miracle "Seignalet diet" which reversed 91, so-called "incurable", chronic diseases
Dr. Jean Seignalet (Pronounce it "Shon Saynyalay") was a French professor of medicine who devised and trialled a "hypotoxic" diet with 2,565 patients with 115 different, so called "incurable" diseases over a period of twenty years. 91 of the diseases responded to treatment with the diet and there were 1,631 complete remissions. 2,300 patients improved. The diet was not originally intended to be for weight loss but this was found to be one of the many beneficial side-effects, including increased mental alertness and poise, lowering of cholesterol and many other good things including avoidance of heart attack and stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's! To see a list of disease treated by Dr. Seignalet and click on your own to see his results for that particular disease, click here.
"Modern" foods cause leaky gut
Dr. Seignalet believed that all the diseases which responded to his diet were caused by "leaky gut". (Proper medical term: intestinal permeability) and that the leaky gut itself was caused by the foods that became staples during the neolithic period starting 10,000 years ago in the middle east and 5,000 years ago in Europe, with the advent of modern industrial food production aggravating the situation still further.
Time between our caveman ancestors and us – "the blink of an eye"
We are genetically adapted to foods that our cave people ancestors ate. You can consider human evolution from the viewpoint of the primates starting 75 million years ago, or from the time our first human-like ancestors, the australopithecines evolved 6 million years ago or from the time the first "early modern humans" evolved, 65,000 years ago (or even earlier) in Africa, crossing over into Europe and Asia 45,000 years ago. However you look at it, 10,000 or 5,000 years is just the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. Our digestive enzymes have evolved to process the foods our cavemen ancestors were eating - not what we put on our tables today.
Digestive enzymes – the lock and key effect
Dr. Seignalet pointed out that molecules of food fit these enzymes like a lock and key, with the food being the key and the enzyme the lock. Caramel, for example, made by heating sugar, produces a mirror image, cis form that our enzymes simply cannot process. Put another way it's like trying to put a left hand into a right handed glove. So we have not evolved the enzymes to cope with these "new", often large molecules in animal milks, highly mutated cereals and the end-products of cooking.
Undigested food molecules form a putrefactive bacterial gut flora which damages the junction between cells lining the gut wall
These undigested, food macromolecules cause the intestinal flora to become putrefactive, giving rise to further macromolecules and this putrefactive flora damages the junctions between the cells (enterocytes) of the intestinal wall. Undigested macromolecules and bacterial peptides can then enter the blood stream, ending up in the cells of tissue, and the spaces (interstices) between cells, clogging up the tissue, with the result that it functions less well than nature intended. Particularly dangerous are Maillard molecules, produced by grilling, frying and baking.Which disease we then get depends on our genetic susceptibility to that disease and the type of food waste which is penetrating the gut wall.
The 4 different pathologies caused
In some cases, like Osteoarthritis for example, this simply results in the "clogging" pathology I've just described. In other cases, like Rheumatoid arthritis, it results in an "autoimmune" pathology. In fact the body is not attacking itself, as we have been told to believe by orthodox medicine but is instead attacking these waste particles of undigested food, causing inflammation. Seignalet considered that the correct term for this pathology was Xenoimmune with true autoimmune pathology being extremely rare. In other diseases like Eczema or Asthma for example, the body tries to rid itself of these wastes through its various elimination channels (medical term: emunctories), like the liver, kidneys, skin etc. Seignalet called these diseases "elimination" pathologies. In some rare diseases such as Behçet's disease or Sapho Syndrome, more than one type of pathology can be involved. Seignalet called these "complex" diseases.
How the diet works and detox symptoms
By adopting the diet of our paleolithic ancestors as much as possible, what Seignalet called the "ancestral", or "original" or "hypotoxic" diet, the gut wall will heal. What this means is that the junctions between the enterocytes become tight again, with the result that dangerous macromolecules can no longer penetrate the gut wall and end up in the bloodsteam and then the tissue. As the gut wall heals, the flow of dangerous macromolecules is halted and a process of "detoxification" then starts in the body's tissues as these macromolecules are gradually eliminated by the immune system. As you heal, you may experience some "detox" symptoms like nausea, headaches or a loose bowel. Quite often there will be a brief, sometimes painful flare of your symptoms. These occasional symptoms will pass. They will decrease in intensity until they disappear and are to be welcomed as signs that your body is healing. These detox symptoms result from the fact that more of these "toxins" are being released into the bloodstream than the liver and kidneys are able to process and eliminate at any one time. Unfortunately, the concept of detoxification is not admitted by orthodox physicians, who might diagnose them as symptoms of "intoxification" caused by microbes or parasites or chemical toxins or even nutritional deficiencies. The best thing to do if you have detox symptoms, when you usually have little appetite anyway, is just do do an impromptu fast for a day or two while drinking plenty of pure water. (Note: the Seignalet diet is perfectly balanced and will not result in nutritional deficiencies).
Is this the "paleo diet"? Yes and no.
Is this the "Paleo diet"? Not really. The Cordain/Wolf version of the Paleo diet differs from the Seignalet diet in two important aspects. The so-called Paleo diet bans all grains and pulses. Seignalet studied each food according to how it is processed by our bodies. While he found that wheat, corn (maize), oats etc. were to be avoided, buckwheat, quinoa and rice can be consumed. Cordain and Wolf advocate eating a high proportion of cooked animal protein. Seignalet found that animal protein cooked above 110 °C or 230 °F is a disease factor. See my translation of his dangers of cooking here.
Most of us, in contrast to our cavemen ancestors, live sedentary lives and Seignalet advised eating animal protein (raw or steamed) just once a day. Note also that the Cordain/Wolf diet is mainly a lifestyle diet. It has not been trialled as a therapy to reverse disease. The Seignalet diet is designed specifically as a therapeutic diet to reverse and prevent disease. It is not touted as a cure however. To maintain remission, the diet must be adopted for life. I personally (Chris Parkinson) use it as a lifestyle diet and I incorporate Hay/Shelton/Diamond et al food combining principles as well.

Diplomats, normally discreet figures who rarely court publicity, have been in the news a lot lately, for all the wrong reasons.In the first case, Dmitri Borodin, the minister councilor at the Russian Embassy in The Hague, was arrested late one night in October of last year, after neighbors alerted the Dutch police that Borodin, allegedly in a drunken state, was beating his two small children. According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, diplomats cannot be prosecuted according to a host country's laws. U.S. diplomats were stripped of customary privileges. Threats were made to arrest same-sex partners of U.S. diplomats, because Indian law criminalizes homosexuality.One of the most interesting aspects of these two diplomatic incidents is what it tells us about the new Russian and Indian elite. Diplomats have always represented the face of their country, but their own faces have changed.In the past, diplomats did not actually represent nation-states, but royal courts (in most monarchies this is still officially the case).

I just fell in love with working with animals. I realized this is it. This is my "a-ha" moment. This is what I was meant to do.
This is the Wells Fargo Works Project. Watch as three small business customers strive to take their next step. For 2014 Wells Fargo Works contest finalist, Emily Mansilla, it's growing her full-service pet grooming business into a welcoming and profitable boutique.
Who's my pretty girl, huh?
Grooming By Em is a full-service grooming salon. Hi, kids. Be good. We offer several different creative grooming options for different types of pets. Whenever you see a dog walking down the street, you know it's my work. You know that that's Grooming By Em.
You did good. Yeah.
When I was approximately 25 years old, I was diagnosed with Lupus. It was painful, which made it a little bit difficult to groom. Doctors told me that I probably shouldn't be grooming, but how could I possibly walk away from the one thing that I was happy about?
Is Lucy ready? Excellent! You ready to go back?
When I am at work, it's just, I don't feel it. To be around great people and the dogs and all that energy is so much bigger than any possible pain that I could have.
Bye, Bunkin. Be good.
Bye-bye. Take care.
In essence, you know, Grooming By Em is my medicine.
I'm Melinda Emerson, SmallBizLady. I specialize in small business startup, business development, and social media marketing.
Hi there.
How are you? How can I help you?
Well actually, Emily, I am here to help you. My name is Melinda Emerson. I've been retained by Wells Fargo to come and coach you and your business.
Wow. [Laughs] That's amazing.
I want you to think of me as your small business fairy godmother.
Good, because I've needed one of those.
Tell me about your business, Grooming By Em.
We moved here in 2011. It was initially just my brother, myself, and my groomer assistant, and it's evolved to about 12 employees.
So what is your big picture vision? If time and money was no object, what would you want?
I want to grow.
When we opened the business, we were at the bare minimum with funds, and we bought the stuff that was definitely necessary. I want to take our warehouse-looking shop that is open and noisy, and make it calm and inviting.
My biggest thing has been having a good boutique layout. So I just want for people to come in and see our shop and say, "Oh, this is who they are." I want them to have that inviting feeling like they are coming somewhere where they are going to get great service and they know, they are like, "Yes, this is the place that I've been looking for."
You know, I go and see a lot of small business owners, and I think you really got something very special here.
I think Emily is an amazing entrepreneur, and with just a few tweaks, Emily will take this business exactly where she wants it to go.
Wells Fargo has created this terrific Business Plan Center, and in it they have a Competitive Intelligence Tool. That will allow you to really know the skinny on what's going on in your industry and your competitors.
When I see the Competitive Intelligence Tool, I freak. I'm amazed that it's so easy to use. You just put in the information, it's a click, and then you just get everything right then and there.
So you're actually above average for the businesses in this area. Your line is the green line right. You're killing it. [Laughs] Right? And this is the thing that I really love about this tool. Let me show you. Let's say you want to do online advertising for your business. If you click on advertising, well now you know the city and the specific ZIP code —
That would benefit us.
— that would benefit you for your ads to pop up when those people go on a specific social media site.
Small businesses need this, and it gives us a fighting chance.
Think about ways that you might leverage this information to grow your small business.
I can do that. [Laughs]
Ok, I will be back tomorrow.
Give me a hug. I don't want a handshake. I want a hug.
Hey Emily, I'm back.
Hi, how are you?
I'm good. How are you doing?
I couldn't sleep last night, I was so excited for today. [Laughs]
I am meeting with Emily today to continue encouraging her as she makes plans to grow and expand her business. Your business can only grow as far as your arm can reach. So you want to create as many systems in your business that can run without you.
I prioritize getting five tasks done in my business every day. If you prioritize those top five tasks, that's really going to streamline your day, and make sure that you accomplish the things you want to accomplish before "crazy" has an opportunity to interrupt your day.
One of the other things that I want to tell you is the Wells Fargo Works website is a great resource for small business owners. There is an article on their website that I want you to read. It's called "Defining your business model." I think it's really going to help you grow your business.
Passion is the secret ingredient to a small business. Emily is so passionate about Grooming By Em. She wants to make sure that she gives her customers her best.
And the folks at Wells Fargo, in addition to retaining me to coach you, they are also going to give you $10,000 in goods and services.
$10,000. Oh my goodness!
And guess what we are going to do with that money?
We're going to turn your salon into the boutique you've always wanted.
Wow! That's amazing.
You're so deserving, Emily.
I'm so excited, I'm so happy. I still don't know why me. [Laughs] I will say this. It just made this fight worthwhile.
Here he is.
Hello, hello.
How are you?
We knew that you really wanted to turn this into a boutique, and turn this into part of your dreams. So what we're going to do is make it functional, creative, and really drive sales in your business.
I'm having an out-of-body experience. Josh is talking to me, he's showing me pictures, the whole design, everything. It's like the boutique I've always wanted.
Move the treat station in front of the counter so that, when actually the pets come in here, they might smell something and want to take a grab at it.
Kind of makes me feel a little bit foolish, because I'm like, why didn't I think of that?
Well, you can't think of everything. You're already doing 10 jobs all at one time.
So, after looking at this whole thing, what do you think, Emily?
I mean, I am very excited. It's just amazing, and I'm really overwhelmed.
So once you get over the shock of this, you and I will be in contact and really start working out with you with exactly what you want to turn this beautiful place into.
OK. Sounds great.
It was really nice meeting you, Emily.
Thank you so much for everything.
Thank you so much for this opportunity. Take care. Have a good day.
Have a good day. Bye.
I really hope that I have been able to give you some actionable advice to help you take your business to the next level.
It is a great feeling for Wells Fargo to just take some time to think about a small business, to make it better, to improve it, and to make sure that it's there for years to come.
Phew, Wells Fargo saying, "We believe in you." It's huge. It's just huge.

ANDERSON, Ind. - The Defiance College women's soccer team blanked Anderson in double overtime, 0-0, on a cold Wednesday evening at Macholtz Stadium.
Defiance (1-12-2 overall, 0-6-2 HCAC) was led in the contest by sophomore goalkeeper Madi Bowman (Eaton) with a game-high 12 saves. Senior Kassie Memmer (Bowling Green)led the Purple and Gold attack recording three shots.
Anderson (10-2-3, 5-1-3 HCAC) pressured the Defiance defense early as the Ravens delivered back-to-back blows at the 31st minute mark that were saved by Bowman. They continued to push forward pelting the net but again found no answer.
The Yellow Jackets got a crack at net in the final seconds of the period as Memmer delivered a shot that was saved by the Ravens keeper.
Anderson wasted no time in the second half as they jumped the Yellow Jackets firing ten unanswered shots before Memmer delivered what was thought to be the golden goal in the final minute.
The Ravens dominated much of the overtime period outshooting the Yellow Jackets 5-0 but the back line held strong for DC and warded off the Raven attack en route to the double overtime tie.
The Yellow Jackets return to action Saturday as they welcome Mount St. Joseph for Senior Day. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m.


text: As the topic says, if I'm clean 4-5 days I start feeling better. Much better after a week or two. Much much better actually.... If I relapse I can maybe get away with it one day. But if that turns into a streak of relapses for days or binge sessions then I'm done for. Days after binging/relapsing I have this constant unspecific fear of something, an empty insecure feeling, anxiety over nothing. It's damn hard to explain. Can anyone relate to this?

My wife, Rebecca, and I were having a discussion the other day about the debit crisis that our country is in right now and it spurred up the following thought. I believe that because of the number of abortions, about 54 million reported abotions, that have been performed since 1973 when Roe v Wade was passed legallizing abortion, there is now an unsurmountable spread between the numbers of people paying into the tax system, medicare, and social security and those that are recieveing and those that will be recieveing shortly. I told her that I believe that if you were take the number of babies that have been aborted, subtract the number of deaths in that group as well as the number of those that would not be paying any taxes (according to the IRS records) and the ones not yet old enough to pay taxes, you would have approximately 20 million more tax payers pay their share of taxes and putting monies into the Social Security and Medicare Programs as well as into the IRS. Why do I believe this? Well, it is simple math. If you take the 20 million that would be paying taxes (like social security, medicare, and income tax) and multiply that with those 20 million people then you would come up with about 4 trillion dollars a year. That is assuming that each of these persons averages paying $200 per person per year. Now the average person that pays taxes pays a lot more than $200 in taxes per year. The national defecit for last year was $4 trillion. We would have little problems with the national defecit if 20 millions more tax payers were paying "their fair share." After Rebecca and I were finished talking she said, "You need to post that. There have to be others that have thought about it like that but I have never heard anyone brave enough to state it like that." So here it is. If you have a comment please feel free to leave it under the comment section of this page or on the comment section where it will be posted on Facebook.

Designer Francois Duquesnoy knows a thing or two about the pains of moving, seeing how he's changed homes eight times in the past few years. Rather than lug his heavy furniture around with him, the nomadic Dutch designer has come up with a brilliant alternative: to build his own furniture from scraps on the street. Within just one week, Duquesnoy built "Collectables," a collection of DIY functional furniture stuck together from odd bits of trash, from a discarded tennis racket to a spare bicycle wheel.
Francois Duquesnoy gives himself a weeklong deadline to complete an entirely upcycled interior in order to maintain his whimsical and improvisational approach. "As overconsumption and waste are worldwide issues, there will always be materials available," writes Duquesnoy. "Instead of buying new materials or furniture, I gather these waste materials and reuse them, creating furniture for my new home. By doing this, I not only furnish my new home, but I also reveal the potential of existing, discarded, readily available and free materials."

Each of his unique creations often reflects the different characteristics of the surrounding environment. To emphasis the site-specific nature of each collection, Duquesnoy paints each series in a single, different hue. So far, Duquesnoy has completed three different sets of his playful one-of-kind pieces.

Etude De L'efficacité De L'huile De Thevetia Neriifolia Pour Le Contrôle De Anopheles Gambiae S.L Résistant Aux Pyréthrinoïdes
Effective control of pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors requires new alternative measures. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Thevetia oil extracted from seed kernels to control malaria transmission by An. gambiae s.l. Sensitivity tests were carried out on larvae of Stages 3 and 4 of An. gambiae s.s of wild-type and pyrethroid-resistant Kis-kdr. The susceptible reference strain "Kisumu" served as a control. Mortality was read 24 hours and 48 hours after exposure. LD50 and 90 for 24 hours and 48 hours were determined using the log-probit method of determining the dose corresponding to a proportion. The high LD50s determined in 24 hours and 48 hours correspond to doses that kill 50% of Stage 3 larvae in wild populations in 24 hours and 48 hours. Low LD50s refer to stage 4 "Kisumu" larvae. The strong DL90 in 24 hours and 48 hours correspond respectively to stage 3 larvae of the Kis-kdr and wild-type strains. The comparison of the LD between the different strains shows the influence of the resistance on the sensitivity of the larvae of the strains resistant to the oil tested. However, the larvicidal effect of Thevetia oil on the larvae of resistant strains may elicit formulations for alternative measures in vector resistance management to pyrethroids.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli military figures and religious students are objecting to the selection of supermodel Bar Refaeli as part of an ad campaign to raise Israel's public image.
Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, in a letter Sunday to the Foreign Ministry criticized the choice of Refaeli because she did not serve in the Israeli military.
"The choice of a representative who did not serve in the military as an official presenter on behalf of Israel conveys the message that we ignore and forgive evasion of enlistment, and encourages identification, among youths of both sexes with the success of those who did not enlist," Mordechai wrote.
Refaeli married a family friend in 2007 in order to avoid conscription and continue her modeling career.
At the same time, haredi Orthodox students have objected to Refaeli's participation, saying she does not represent the Israeli public because she had a high-profile relationship with the non-Jewish actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Modern Orthodox students also have objected to the choice for both reasons, Ynet reported.

Title: Seraphina
Author: Rachel Hartman
Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers
Release Date: July 10, 2012
Received: From the library
Summary: Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.
Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.
Review: I had heard amazing things about Seraphina and was totally psyched to read it. I mean high fantasy and dragons? Sign me up! Luckily Seraphina did not disappoint!
I really, really liked this book. I mean the first line is "I remember my birth." Seriously? That line screams how good this book is going to be. Seraphina is part dragon part human and so she is thought of as an abomination. This secret while not controlling the whole plot, is integral to the story.
I loved Princess Glisselda and Seraphina's relationship. It was a fun friendship and I liked seeing the barrier between royalty and commoner be broken down a little. Though honestly the real breaking down of positions was between Seraphina and Prince Lucian Kiggs, but I'll leave you to find that out... Also Kiggs is so cute and is now on my list of book boy crushes.
Another relationship that I really liked was the one between Seraphina and her teacher Orma. Since her dad is a a** it was great for her to have a father figure. Also there is a great scene between Seraphina and Prince Lucian in regard to Orma.
If you know me you know I love reading about the politics and mythology of fantasy worlds and Rachel Hartman does a great job of bringing the back story to life in an interesting way. Also the world building is so well done. I am a sucker for description and Seraphina contained just enough to keep me happy but not so much that it would turn off anyone who does not like it.
Another thing that I really liked is how Seraphina's visions were important. A lot of times if a character has issues with that sort of thing it is just there to make the character weak or be convenient to the plot. But Hartman really used them in an interesting and different way.
I was surprised by the reveal toward the end which is always nice. Thinking back it makes sense though so it was not completely out of left field.
Overall I really liked Seraphina. It was spellbinding and just complex enough. The fact that music was incorporated though it all made me really happy (as a person who plays three instruments I really appreciated it.) And I cannot wait for Dracomania!

I enjoyed this one too - my favorite bits were the politics and world-building. I wasn't bowled over by Kiggs, but maybe upon a reread I'll like him better as a character. Definitely looking forward to the next in the series!ReplyDelete
This was my second favorite read of 2012 (after Code Name Verity) and I pushed it on a couple of other people who adored it as well. Glad you're getting the word out!ReplyDelete

Some amazing things are happening in today's world of technology. Mobile network speeds are getting faster, smartphones are getting faster and lighter, tablets are starting to overpower today's consoles, and internet speeds are beginning to skyrocket. Time Warner Cable has announced on Tuesday that a $25 million investment to highly expand its fiber broadband network to business in New York City. Just New York City, seriously? Ah, well, maybe it's just for "testing" purposes to make sure the rest of the country gets some stable high speed connections.
This new fiber network will be first be built in Brooklyn along with parts of Manhattan such as the Financial and Flatiron districts. Just lat year, Time Warner Cable and the city of New York had reached a agreement that Time Warner said it would be expanding its fiber network in areas of the state that don't currently have access to the high speed connection.
This new service will offer internet speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, the company's press release had said. Time Warner will be targeting companies that have some serious high data needs. You can imagine that design firms, technology companies, programming companies amongst some others will be among those targeted companies.
Some business in the newly revitalized Brooklyn Navy Yard are already seeing the pluses of an upgraded and fast fiber network from Time Warner Cable. The 300 acre building offers the first customers to this newly upgraded network. That said, Time Warner is also currently building a second Time Warner Learning Lab in Brooklyn at the Navy Yard. This new Lab with provide the public with free access to computers and high-speed Internet. The lab will be apart of the Navy Yard's Employment Center.
These new upgrades to their network are frankly amazing. Time Warner's motive to improve their network and expand fiber to parts of the city undeserved is actually part of a bigger plan to expand technology from the New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg also has agreements with other companies like Verizon Communications and AT&T to vastly improve their broadband services via fiber and Wi-Fi. Man, these companies seriously need to start expanding their speeds elsewhere too.
AT&T already has a very fast Wi-Fi, and has already built numerous Wi-Fi hotspots for their customers in the New York City area. Not only that, but Verizon Wireless has also been starting to deploy its drool-worthy Fios fiber network to residents and businesses through the five boroughs of the city. This Fios fiber network could potentially bring up to 2.4 gigabits of downstream according to Wikipedia (while that isn't a solid source, it does look very accurate in this case).
It's interesting that this announcement has come from Time Warner since the technology giant, Google has started building its own fiber network in parts of Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. Google only launched their new Google Fiber network last month, charging customers only $70 a month for 1Gbp/s downstream, 1GBp/s upstream, plus a whopping 1 terabyte of data storage (I may just have to move to Kansas).
Time Warner hasn't announced the pricing on this new network as of yet. But, unlike Time Warner, Google's new network service is geared towards both consumers and business users. Google's decision to build the network came from an effort to encourage innovation when it came to broadband and to get broadband providers to increase speeds of their networks. We all know they have the capabilities to increase speeds, but the question is, why are only a few of them increasing speeds? I mean, Sweden is already ahead of us in network speeds. What's up with that Internet providers?
"There is a bottleneck right now in residential access where people are only getting speeds of 5 Mbps," Ken Lo, general manager for Google Access said in an interview that followed the launch of the Google Fiber network. Even though Lo hadn't said it directly, it was implied that the Google Fiber network could be seen as a challenge to numerous other broadband providers and to what they have offered in the past. Challenges are good, it usually ends up in benefiting the consumer. I'm also %100 sure that especially in this case, it will benefit the consumer.
"The last time we doubled the speed of broadband a whole new market evolved and spurred tremendous growth in the Internet," Lo said. "We don't want incremental change. Offering you a 10 Mbps service and edging it to 50 Mbps and then 100 Mbps, that's not what drives real innovation. We need to do something in a big way that will take a material step in performance." When Lo said they needed to do something big, he wasn't kidding. Going from 100Mbp/s to 1GBp/s is a huge leap in speeds.
I honestly think that it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out from now on. It'll also be interesting to watch how Time Warner Cable will price their 1Gbp/service with Google starting to get their foothold in the market. It'll be interesting to see if other parts of its network will get vastly upgraded to provide some blazing fast broadband services to residents throughout New York City. Or, of course, they could just leave them in the dust as Google and their Google Fiber network begins to take the country by storm.
What I find interesting is that no one has really bothered to head on over to Seattle where a lot of huge businesses are located to offer this service. Sure, New York has some big businesses to, and Seattle is arguably comparable. Whoever gets their first though, will most likely be racking in money by the truck load if a 1GBp/s internet service is offered.
Also, it's interesting that Google is once again encouraging broadband providers to increase their network speeds. My question is, why does someone have to come out and do something amazing like 1GBp/s internet for other providers to come out of their shell and offer a similar speed? It probably all goes back to money, which is sad due to the potential speeds we have when it comes to Internet connections. These companies have millions of dollars at their disposal and $25 million really isn't a whole lot to bring 1GBp/s speeds to larger businesses in a highly populated area. In fact, companies will make that money back very easily after they begin offering it to large businesses and even residents. It's a huge chance to earning a whole lot more profit than what said company is currently earning.
I'm not fiber guru, but I honestly think that there is huge potential here that companies just aren't looking at. Or, they are looking at it and deciding to wait until someone else makes a move to make sure its "safe" to head that way financially.
What are you thoughts on these new Internet speeds popping up? I really wish that they'd expand faster, especially Google Fiber. If Google Fiber were to come to a city near you, would you get it? Let us know in the comments below!

This week we started a new thematic unit on Scandinavia. We haven't covered this area before, except during general European studies. It will cover geography, history, culture, art, bush craft, nature and geology.
We began with a Ray Mears documentary on bush craft in Sweden. The kiddies answered questions which I had prepared as they went along. Their feedback on the documentary was full of positives and a desire to watch more, learn more bushcraft, move to Sweden and hang out with huskies.
We began a unit book, similar to a lapbook, which we plan to fill with our work over the coming weeks.
The Dala horse is a Swedish traditional craft from the Dala region. We didn't realise we owned one and it's been sitting in the Native American box for years!
The kiddies made some smashing Dala horses of their own.
We ended one of our study mornings with a bit of fun making tiny snowflakes to go in reindeer pots. As you do. After which we made a tiny reindeer herd. North Sweden is known as Swedish Lapland where the Sami tend to huge reindeer herds.
We also made some lovely Swedish hearts...
...And the Northern lights in a beautiful Swedish landscape.
We had some silly time making reindeer out of footprints.
And we spent a whole morning learning about Swedish wildlife (elk, reindeer, sea eagles, hedgehogs, brown bears, ptarmigan, wolves and seals).
Measuring the wingspan of a sea eagle - 2.5m
We went on a Scandinavia book hunt at the library.
And The Boy did a little work on the Vikings

So this was one of the most respected and hyped projects actually. They initially had a crypto debit card which everyone in the crypto space wanted. But after it was in circulation for a bit they got cut by Visa I believe and then there were no more cards. They also worked on a few other things like the COMIT protocol but I'm not sure if those ever got released or took off...
Finally their loud and public co-founder Julian Hosp recently left the company in Jan. 2019. This could be taken as good OR bad but I think it's bad. If he wasn't taking the whole thing seriously or wasn't equipped to lead the company then they never should have been where they were before....
Dr. Doom posted on December 19, 2018 18:32:05
Sold out in 7 minutes their ICO. Seems like the only function of the PAY token was to raise the company funding. They did ship the promised cards, but because the card provider was blocked by VISA, their cards became useless. Many promises of new cards coming, yet not delivered. This has frustrated a lot of investors and indeed this is not a positive sign. Julian Hosp as leader and spokesperson for TenX has been discovered as an active promoter of an alleged pyramid scheme Lyoness, however he has openly distanced itself from it and claims it was a good learning experience to guard against scams in the crypto world. I would give him the benefit of the doubt; it would have been much worse if he was from Lyoness management. One of the technical projects that TenX develops on is COMIT Network that should allow for cross chain transactions, and recently there has been the first success: "At the December 7, 2018, TenX Summit, a group of developers showcased an industry first: an atomic swap on the Lightning Network between a non-native asset, TenX's PAY token, and a native asset, bitcoin." (quote from bitcoin magazine). Overall I think TenX is one of the more legit projects out there, but considering the disappointments from the past year since ICO, I have just a few tiny reservations about it, which is why i vote this as slightly shady.
Crypto Anonymous posted on December 16, 2018 22:12:43
This was a very successful and promising ICO back in 2017 that got off a decent start, partly fueled by the 2017 bull run and ICO madness. The team, with Julian Hosp as visible leader of the project, always seemed serious and genuine in their efforts to become a successful crypto business. One of their key features was a VISA card that could be loaded with crypto balances. They actually shipped a lot of cards that have been used by many clients. However the project got into trouble when their card provider was ordered to stop services for European clients and their cards project grinded to a halt which was a major setback. They then pursued a banking license to become a crypto bank, but unfortunately I don't know how that turned out or how far this process is. The project fell more and more into the background and likewise the TenX token fell lower and lower on Coinmarketcap. The token was supposed to be used for fees for transaction that are done using their services and I believe a profit sharing was part of the deal for token holders. Personally I don't believe TenX is a shady project; I do believe they genuinely try/tried to make it successful, however I worry that it might be a dying project nevertheless.

That sounds delicious. I love the addition of the lime zest in the batter.ReplyDelete

I have never made and never eaten an upside down cake. I like that you used fresh pineapples, they taste so much better. The cake looks very tasty to me. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Pineapple upside down cake was part of our Sunday dinner ritual when I was a child. You've taken yours considerably uptown and it looks delicious. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete
This looks delicious with the coconut addition! What a great version of it that I will have to try. The history is interesting with Jim Dole. There's nothing like pineapple!ReplyDelete
I love pineapple upside down cake, so I know I'd love this!ReplyDelete
I made this yesterday to take to a party, and it was a big hit! I wasn't able to fit all the batter into my cake pan, and I filled it up to the top, but it didn't spill over (I had used a baking sheet underneath just in case). Delicious cake, and I was told to make it again. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Stacy - I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the cake! It went fast here as well!ReplyDelete

Aviation History
FLIGHT FROM ALL QUARTERS ^ Those Fifty^Years A LL over the United States the 50th anniversary of powered flight was celebrated by meetings, air shows and din ners, each graced with eloquent utterance on subjects aeronautical. At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, where the first flight was made, the hangar and living quarters of the Wright brothers were skilfully recon structed on their original site. As already recorded in our columns, F/L. Burton and F/L. Gannon, winners of the England to New Zealand race, flew their Canberra P.R.3 across the Atlantic to Kitty Hawk from Wyton; on this page is a photo graph of the aircraft passing near the Wright memorial. After landing at nearby Elizabeth City, the crew were then taken by helicopter to the celebration luncheon at Kitty Hawk. Later they laid a wreath at the foot of the memorial. At exactly the time of the Wrights' first flight (10.30 a.m.) Billy Parker flew his old 1912 pusher biplane over the Kill Devil sands, and aircraft of many types flew past in salute. In Washington, Gen. Eisenhower attended a dinner on the evening of the anniversary day, when Glenn L. Martin, himself one of the pioneers of American aviation, presented the annual Wright lecture. He predicted that the next 50 years would see space ships with speeds of 25,000 m.p.h. He also said he had "no hesitancy in forecasting for the next half-century of flight": (1) giant 200-passenger jet aeroplanes crossing the continents and the oceans "in literally zero time in the westerly direction"—this would mean flight in the neighbourhood of 1,000 m.p.h. to keep pace with the sun; (2) aircraft powered by atomic energy—first as bombers—capable of "multiple non-stop circumnavigation" of the globe; (3) helicopters carrying all airline traffic over distances up to 150 miles; (4) fully automatic airline flight operations with electronic guidance and control equipment; (5) flying-boats with speeds matching those of landplanes, but with greater capacity for cargo, passengers or weapons; (6) reductions to bring the cost of air travel well below that of any other form of transport. Canberra's Two-way Cape Records WE gave brief details last week of the Canberra point-to-point record between London and Cape Town on December 17th. This stands, subject to official confirmation, at 12 hr 21 min 3.8 sec. Thus the 6,009 statute miles between the city centres was covered at an average speed of 486.6 m.p.h. Two refuelling stops were made, at Castel Idris in Libya and Brazza ville in French Equatorial Africa. The refuelling times at these places, respectively 18 min and 23 min, are comparable with those of the England to New Zealand race. This flight has reduced by no less than nine hours the previous record of 21 hr 25 min set up in 1947 by a Mosquito P.R.34 (S/Ls. Martin and Sismore). The record-breaking Canberra B.2 was to have returned to London Airport on Friday, December 18th, flown this time by W/C. A. H. Humphrey, with S/L. R. F. B. Powell and S/L. D. Bower as navigators. After some delay in departure from Cape Town because of fog at London Airport, the Can berra began the homeward flight on the 19th, reaching London in 13 hr 16 min 25.2 sec (454 m.p.h.). Subject to confirmation, this breaks a long-standing record over the route—Alex Hen- shaw's 39 hr 36 min established in a Mew Gull in 1939. Both the Canberra's flights were made against headwinds. Appointments from Cranfield NEW appointments for two members of the Department of Aerodynamics at the College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, have recently been announced. Professor A. D. Young, M.A., F.R.Ae.S., head of the Department, is to become Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at Queen Mary College, London University, on October 1st next, and Mr. A. H. Yates, B.Sc, B.Sc.(Eng), A.F.R.Ae.S., senior lecturer, has been appointed principal of Bath Technical College, and is to begin his duties there on April 1st. Professor Young has been head of the Department of Aero dynamics at Cranfield since October 1950. Educated at the Central Foundation School and Caius College, Cambridge, he PROGRESS: Could the famous brothers have looked into the future, what would have been their feelings on seeing a Canberra circling the Wright Memorial at Kitty Hawk? was engaged on research work under Professor Melvill Jones from 1935 to 1936, and was a member of the Aerodynamics Depart ment of R.A.E. from 1936 until 1946, when he became senior lecturer and deputy head of Department at Cranfield. He suc ceeds the late Professor N. A. V. Piercy, D.Sc.(Eng.), F.R.Ae.S., who, until his death in February last year, had been Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at Queen Mary College since 1949. From 1934 until 1949 Professor Piercy had been University of London Reader in Aeronautics. Mr. A. H. Yates—who is a regular contributor to Flight— has been a senior lecturer in Aerodynamics at Cranfield since 1946. He was joint author of Some Aspects of Noise Propagation from Supersonic Aircraft, a Cranfield report published last March. Fifty Years on Film T-10 celebrate the "Fiftieth Anniversary of Powered, Controlled •*• Flight," two outstanding films have been produced showing the history of aviation during its first half-century. Both pro ductions are the work of private firms, one British and the other American. The British production is entitled Powered Flight—the Story of the Century and it is the work of the Shell Film Unit. The suggestion for such a film originated with the Royal Aeronautical Society, who quickly came to an agreement with the Shell com pany. B.E.A's two Peters, Masefield and his assistant Brooks, were then asked to plan and advise generally. Work began at the end of February 1953, under the guidance of a R.Ae.S. committee, of which Mr. Masefield was chairman. Initially, twelve "nodal points" were fixed, marking events or developments of great significance. Around these the film was built up in perspective; and, although a subtitle reads "A study of Britain's contribution to the conquest of the air," the story is truly international and impartial. Research for celluloid penetrated to the Air Ministry, Central Office of Information, Ministry of Supply, R.Ae.S., and many private collectors. Of the history itself, most of our readers—particularly those in possession of our issue of December 11th last—will need no further reminder. Our only comments and criticisms concern trivialities; sometimes, we felt, one development held undue sway while more could have been made of another; but the fact remains that this film provides all, and more than, we had expected. Dogfighting in the Kaiser war . . . barnstorming in the twenties . . . the beginning of real progress, in the thirties . . . the Battles of Britain and Europe . . . flying bombs and jet propulsion . . . and shots from recent Shell "Farnborough" films. Everything is here, properly related to the whole and treated in a truly authoritative manner. The film is in black-and-white on six reels of 16mm or 35mm sound film. Copies will be made available on loan to societies and other bodies on application to the Petroleum Films Bureau, 29 New Bond Street, London, S.W.I. The American film was to have been a joint effort by all the members of the American Aircraft Industries Association; in the event, the United Aircraft Corporation undertook the whole pro duction, to which they have clearly accorded immense expendi ture in time, man-power and money. Human nature being what it is, this film bears little relation to the film described above. Entitled We Saw it Happen, the film uses as narrators most of the greatest pioneers in the American industry: Glenn Martin, Larry Bell, Donald Douglas, Chance Vought, Frederick B. Rentschler, "Dutch" Kindelberger, and such "top brass" as Generals "Hap" Arnold and Jimmy Doolittle.

The service personnel are responsive and professional.
We have appreciated our long relationship with OneSOURCE/Oklahoma Office Systems and the support received from the company.Marge Dover, CAE

We have been with OneSOURCE/Oklahoma Office Systems for numerous years. The firm started utilizing managed print several years ago. The company has never promised something that didn't come true. We have two Bizhub copiers and about 12 individual HP printers. The equipment is some of the newest on the market. When reviewing our account, if they see something which needs to be addressed, they contact us, not us contacting them.
It has been my pleasure to work with this company and I would recommend their services to anyone.Susie Catlett, CFO
Edwin D. Abel, Inc.
Now that we have enjoyed our new copiers and printers for several months, I though I would let you know what a great decision we made going with your company.
The legal assistants, attorneys and myself are very pleased with our personal desktop printers. With access to the copiers for printing as well as scanning, has been a hig help in streamlining the vast amount of paperwork that comes across our desks.
I like that I don't have to order the toner or keep a large amount of toner inventory in our office. Your friendly rep comes by ad takes care of our toner supplies. It is easier to budget knowing my monthly cost for the lease, supplies and service. We always have the toner when it is needed.
Any issues we have are handled with a phone call and quick service. Please use me and my firm as a reference any time.Bette Bialis, Office Administrator
Goolsby, Proctor, Heefner & Gibbs, PC
Continental Industries has used Konica equipment leased from OneSOURCE over the past several years. This includes six robust color copy machines with various features, three printer/copiers used on our manufacturing shop floor and one Muratec fax machine.
Over the past years, OneSOURCE has performed maintenance to these machines in a timely manner. Our relationship with OneSOURCE has been very good and we look forward to this continuing.
The quality of the Konica line of equipment is very good both with up-time and quality of the hardware, as well as the most brilliant color a laser device can deliver.
Overall, we are very pleased wtih this company and with the employees that work there.William Goodin, IS Manager

I am pleased to say that we have been a client of Oklahoma Office Systems/OneSOURCE for many 10 years.
After a few years of service, OOSI offered the managed print services program. The quarterly reviews are a valuable tool that provides us with the volume and service on each device. This allows us the opportunity to see exactly what is happening in each department. OOSI handled the installation and trained our employees on the operations. The transition went very well.
We are very pleased with the service and response time that Oklahoma Office Systems/OneSOURCE gives us.Dennis Graham, VP of Operations
Oklahoma Methodist Manor
OneSOURCE's dispatchers and service technicians get a 10 of 10 from us. Sandi and Tyler are great, very professional, prompt and very much on top of things.

Satanism as a Religion and Atheism
© 2011 C.E. by L. Hernandez
Time and again I've heard it said that the term Satanism cannot be monopolized by what others call "LaVeyan Satanists." People have pointed to the use of the term throughout history as it applied to Christian heretics, devil worshipers, et cetera, to illustrate the pre-Church of Satan application of its socially accepted definition. They say the Church of Satan and Anton LaVey can't simply re-define a term which is already almost universally defined. This is all short-sightedness.
Before 1966 the word was "satanism" with a lower-case "s," indicating that it was a descriptive term and not the name of a proper religion. There may have been devil worshipers throughout history, but all were self-styled Christian heretics with almost nothing in common but their attempts to reverse Christianity. If one plays the Christian game by the Christian rules, no matter which team he is on he is still a Christian, albeit heretical. Even the Yezidi never called themselves "Satanists."
To others, in a time when the Christian church had more power than one could imagine and when there was no separation of Church and State, it was more political than anything else. It was a revolt, not a religion. It was a way to stick it to the man.
Both Devil Worship in France (Waite) and The Satanic Mass (Rhodes) make the above abundantly clear; the former dealing with early false accusations of a worldwide conspiracy of devil worshipers (the original Satanic Panic!) and the latter dealing with historical cases of devil worship and the historical witches' sabbath.
Insofar as any right to redefine the word "Satan," though it is and has been in common (mis-)usage in its Christian context, it is of Jewish origin. Christianity co-opted the word and gave it their own re-definition in their own context. Unless one is a Christian, that meaning and context should bear absolutely no merit whatsoever. Period.
Regardless of how widespread the Christian definition is in acceptance, the word was never theirs to begin with. It might be difficult for some to grasp, but the Christian definition is only commonly accepted in Western society.
Thus, the Hebrew word satan does not mean "devil" and Christianity has no rights to it. Neither is the word legitimately tied to "the worship of the devil," as that is simply playing the Christian game on their turf. Satan, meaning "accuser/adversary/opposer," was always a descriptive term outside of and before Christianity's co-opting of it.
That said, it was not until Anton LaVey used the term in 1966 in reference to the literary character of Satan by authors such as Twain and Milton to embody a set of principles and ideas he deemed Satanic. This was the first time in history–ever–that a legitimately defined and codified religion was given the name, and it was atheistic from the very beginning. This in fact does give the Church of Satan rights to the term in way of defining a legitimate religion. To naysayers I demand proof of otherwise.
Today you have various groups of nitwits calling themselves Theistic Satanists, which is an oxymoron in that Satanism by definition is atheistic. I have more respect for those who go by the moniker of Demonolators–at least some of them understand there is a clear-cut difference. Then there are the so-called Generational Satanists. If you were raised by a self-styled devil worshiper it does not make you anything more than the offspring of a devil worshiper. Go and take your delusions of grandeur elsewhere.
Numerous "Satanic" groups have sprung up since the founding of the Church of Satan. More often than not you will find that while they claim to practice Satanism and ride the Church of Satan's coattails, their principles, tenets and practices do not correspond to the definition of Satanism in The Satanic Bible. This makes them not Satanists, whether they, you or anyone else likes it or not.
It's sad that this has to be repeated again and again.

The statutory mandatory waiting period for a divorce is 90 days after filing a petition with the court and serving the opposing party with the initial pleadings. If the parties are able to reach an agreement on all terms of the divorce (uncontested divorce), the court will grant the divorce after 90 days based upon the agreement.
In a contested divorce, it is difficult to estimate how long a case will take to conclude. If the parties have not reached an agreement during the 90 day waiting period, the court will assign a trial date which is typically within one year. The parties are encouraged to continue to negotiate while waiting for the trial date. If an agreement is reached, the divorce can be granted before the trial. Most cases settle without a need for a trial.

Aleppo: BBC journalist on Syria army moving in on city
We came into the city last night and since first light, we have been hearing the amplification of artillery bombardment.
There have been gunfights in a number of areas and helicopters flying overhead.
We are hearing that there is a government offensive targeting Salah el-Din, which has been one of the most restive neighbourhoods - perhaps the key district - and which has been in the hands of the opposition Free Syrian Army for a number of days now.
We had heard that government troops were massing outside the city, though on this occasion we believe they are coming from an area they control inside Aleppo.
The rebels are saying that they have destroyed a number of tanks. Though this cannot be verified, there is evidence that they have been able to do that - they have rocket-propelled grenades and know how to use them to target these vehicles.
But the truth is they are outgunned and outmanned.
A regular trickle of trucks and cars packed with civilians has been leaving from Salah el-Din and other areas.
They have a few belongings, but not much. They don't appear to have had much time to pack before heading out into the countryside, and safety.
It is almost impossible for us to get into some areas - one has to conclude that it would be equally difficult for residents to get out and some undoubtedly must be trapped.
The atmosphere has changed since we were here three days ago. It is eerily quiet, there are very few residents around and the mood amongst the rebels is very tense.
The commander of one of the largest brigades operating in Aleppo was even deliberating pulling his men out because he was not getting enough ammunition.
He was urged by his men not to leave - they are still here, they have been fighting this morning and wounded fighters have been brought back to the area for treatment in a makeshift clinic.
The rebels may insist in interviews that they will prevail, but the mood on the ground is different.
It is very hard not to conclude that the firepower they face is so overwhelming and Aleppo so important for President Assad's government that resisting will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
From the perspective of military tactics, perhaps the rebels decided to strike too soon in Aleppo before they had the kinds of armaments needed to be able to resist the inevtiable counter-offensive.
Having to leave Aleppo would be a setback for the rebels, but they will regroup in the countryside, where they have been skirmishing with the government for months.

I've recently developed a very inconvenient intolerance to lactose that has to be ignored whenever there's halloumi around, but I'm being much more sensible with the rest of my diet and this korma is a prime example. Korma's traditionally made with yoghurt or cream, but this vegan version uses coconut milk instead. Not only is it far easier to make (no worrying about curdling) and healthier, but personally I think it creates a richer, deeper flavour too - hoorah!
|(c) Becca Thorne 2015
Many of these spices can be found in the 'world foods' sections of larger supermarkets, and you'll find the more common spices there too, at a cheaper price and larger quantity than in the regular herbs & spices aisles, but I've added substitutions for those things you might not be able to get hold of. Cassia, or Chinese cinnamon, is a larger, rougher, more obviously bark-like type of cinnamon than is commonly used in the UK. It smells like my late-grandad's old pipe cabinet - woody, a bit like an old spirit barrel and ever-so slightly tobacco-y. It's got a deeper, less sweet and less obvious flavour than true cinnamon, and if you've ever unwittingly bitten into a piece of bark in a South Indian meal, it was probably cassia. If you can't find it you can substitute regular cinnamon, but be aware that it's got a much stronger, sweeter flavour than cassia, so use less. You could replace the ground almonds with flaked, or with cashew nuts if you prefer, or omit them entirely, but I think they add a little extra depth and richness to the sauce.
Creamy Vegan Korma
serves 2-4
for tempering:
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp black mustard seeds (use yellow if you can't find black)
3" stick cassia bark, broken (or a 1-2" stick regular cinnamon)
5 green cardamom pods
for the korma:
1 large onion, peeled, halved and finely sliced
1 cauliflower, chopped into florets
1 aubergine, diced into 1-2cm cubes
2 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled and finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp Bouillon powder (or half a veggie stock cube, crumbled)
1 tin coconut milk
2-3 tsp ground almonds
good handful fresh coriander, finely chopped
boiling water
In a large, heavy bottomed pan, heat approx 1 tbs oil (eg. olive, groundnut, coconut) over a med-high heat. Add the tempering ingredients and shake gently to distribute. Temper until the seeds start popping, then add the onion and cook until beginning to soften. Add the aubergine and cook for a few more minutes, stirring frequently, until it's obviously absorbing oil and changing colour. Add the cauliflower, garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric and garam masala and continue cooking, stirring every so often, for a few more minutes until everything is well coated in the spices. Add a little more oil if necessary, to help create a very slight paste. Next add the Bouillon/stock and enough boiling water to reach about half way up the veg; don't completely cover it with water. Allow to bubble away vigorously for approx 5 mins, or until the cauliflower is becoming soft and the water is mostly gone, then add the coconut milk and ground almonds, turn down the heat a little, and cook until the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove the bark and as many of the cardamom pods as you can find. Season with salt to taste, stir in the chopped coriander and serve with brown basmati, pilau or some flatbreads to soak up all the lovely sauce.

Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS)
PRESS RELEASE 16 March 2016
Two poachers found guilty of illegal bird trapping
Malta. This morning the Law Court in Valletta sentenced two bird trappers to pay fines of €1,300 and €2,000 and ordered the revocation of their hunting and trapping licences, the Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) said.
A man from Gudja was found guilty of illegally trapping protected waders on 27 July 2015. The court heard that he had set up a large clap net on an island inside an artificial pond close to Gudja. The trapping site was equipped with a number of plastic birds as well as live decoys and an electronic bird caller. The installation was found by CABS activists who reported the case to the police. Officers from the Administrative Law Enforcement inspected the site and charged the poacher with trapping protected species. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 2000 Euros. His hunting and his trapping permits were revoked for 3 years.
In another case a trapper was charged with trapping protected finches at Dingli during the closed season in March 2015. He was filmed by CABS volunteers and later identified by the police on the basis of the footage. The court held that the trapper was answerable for the charges against him and fined him €1,300. Magistrate Anthony Vella also ordered that his hunting and trapping licence shall be revoked for 2 years.
Police inspector Colin Sheldon prosecuted.

I was pondering the other day, and an idea regarding "method_missing"
came to me. I don't want to make this a full-fledged RCR just yet
because I want some feedback first, I feel like this is one of those
ideas that their may be something blatantly untenable about that I've
missed but who knows.
Basically my suggestion is this. Rather than method_missing
performing the task of a message when we wish it to dynamically
respond to messages, have it return a Proc/Method/something that has
a call method. Then the runtime would automatically call this Method/
Proc/etc. with the arguments that were originally passed in, assuming
of course that thats why method_missing was called. Now why do this
you may ask? Well, my rationale is this, we can unify the responses
to #method, #respond_to?, etc.
No longer would you have to override respond_to? if you overloaded
method_missing, it would call method_missing and see if it got back
an object, if it did, it would return true. Similarly with #method,
it could return the object returned by method_missing if the method
did not already exist.
- No more worrying about your custom dispatching in potentially 3
different places, you just write the code once.
- Increased complexity of method calling semantics
- Not backwards-compatible at all. (This is a biggee).
So any thoughts? Anything wrong with this that I missed?
And just in case I've been unclear, an example:
% cat example.rb
class Example
def method_missing(name, *args)
lambda { puts "Method #{name} called." }
example = Example.new
if example.respond_to?(:hello)
puts "Example knows how to say hello"
% ruby example.rb
Method hola called.
Example knows how to say hello

We undertake a comprehensive study of the inverse square root dependence of spatial resolution on the saturation factor in stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and generalize it to account for various focal depletion patterns. We used an experimental platform featuring a high quality depletion pattern which results in operation close to the optimal optical performance. Its superior image brightness and uniform effective resolution <25 nm are evidenced by imaging both isolated and self-organized convectively assembled fluorescent beads. For relevant saturation values, the generalized square-root law is shown to predict the practical resolution with high accuracy.

Palya Art proudly supports and promotes the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal and the work of the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation.
How you can help patients of Kidney Disease in remote Australian desert communities
The Western Desert Dialysis Appeal started in 2000 as a community inspired venture raising funds to help patients in remote communities get local treatment for Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Failure. Kidney disease and renal failure in remote communities is caused by poor nutrition and living conditions – vastly changed from just a few generations ago.
The aim of the Appeal was to provide remote communities with much needed medical facilities so patients could return to or remain on country with family and communities.
Patients forced far away from home to get much needed treatment are separated from family and community. The organisers of the Appeal recognised that if patients are sick and far from home, their families and communities too are sick and dysfunctional. Returning dialysis patients to their communities where they can be supported by family and take part in community life ensures a healthier and happier existence for all.
In 2000 the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal was born when Pintupi people in the Western Desert region of Australia painted pictures and held an auction at the Art Gallery of NSW. They raised over 1 million dollars to support patients in town and to set up dialysis on country.
In 2003, this community initiative was incorporated as the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation. 'Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku' means 'making all our families well'. Today, this non-government organisation continues to raise funds from the sale at auction of Indigenous artworks and generous donations from people and institutions worldwide.
The Western Desert Dialysis Appeal is a registered charity and all donations are tax deductible.
Examples of the exceptional work done by the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation over the years abound. A dialysis machine was brought to Walungurru (Kintore) in 2004, the very first in remote communities in Central Australia and Western Desert. Since then, Western Desert dialysis patients have been able to spend time on country in Kintore accessing dialysis run by their community. Warlpiri has also been assisted in setting up dialysis services in Yuendumu and Ntaria (Hermannsburg) using royalty money. In 2012, with support from Medicines Australia, the Corporation launched 'the Purple Truck' adorned with Western Desert art and containing a mobile dialysis clinic. The touring 'Purple Truck' hit the road, bringing medical care to people wherever they live on country.
In addition to the acquisition of medical equipment, the Corporation is also working to reduce the incidence of kidney disease through education. With this community educational effort and investment in medical equipment, the Corporation is bringing a healthier future to remote communities. Each year around fifty Indigenous patients from Western Desert communities are forced to leave their homes for Alice Springs to receive dialysis treatment, a phenomenon the Corporation's appeal is working to eradicate.
