Americans for Peace Now say the "Facts on the Ground app" will show "the unfiltered realities that settlements create on the ground of the West Bank".
It will mark each settlement with a small blue house. Clicking on any one house will open a window giving details of when it was established, the number of people who live in it, and whether they are secular or Orthodox Jewish. It also includes a graph showing its increase in population.
Settler "outposts" – unauthorised settlements – will be marked in red, while the Green Line dividing Palestinian and Israeli territory, the borders of Jerusalem and the territories' different security zones will also be indicated.
"While people are entitled to their opinions on this divisive issue, there is only one set of facts, and our app makes these facts available in unprecedented clarity and detail," said Debra DeLee, the group's president.
"One of the things that make this tool so powerful is that it democratises data."
The application is currently available only in English, but the group said it was working on a Hebrew version.
About 300,000 Israelis live in settlements within recognised Palestinian territory on the West Bank, and another 200,000 in those in east Jerusalem, which Israel says it has annexed. Settling territories occupied in wartime is generally regarded as illegal under international law.
Under the most likely scenario for any peace deal, the settlements on the West Bank would remain in return for a surrender of equivalent Israeli territory to a Palestinian state. The future of east Jerusalem is hotly contested.
The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, is currently trying to persuade the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to maintain a freeze on settlement building that is due to expire on Sunday. He says the Palestinian side will be forced to pull out of the current round of peace talks if construction starts again.

Paid off another $500September 26th, 2012 at 09:01 pm
Cut back on a few things and received a large mileage payment to find the $500. I'm down under $10,500. I can see the $9,000 by the end of the year. Hey, I might even starting visiting local wishing fountains-that'll pay it off faster :-)

Does Sox management get a free pass, a few kudos, or both? Does winning a WS totally exonerate them for playing boring, bad baseball much of the time the past 3+ years? They're almost unwatchable these days. Christian Vazquez isn't enough to redeem this mess.
Has Koji Uehara finally hit the wall?
com/players/e/ellsbja01.shtml Too soon to call Jacoby Ellsbury a bust in NY, but his numbers are poor for a guy in a bandbox and making a Brinks' truck haul of a salary. No gripe with a guy getting paid, but he hasn't shown he's a top 10 MVP candidate to earn the big dollars/long-term money, no matter how much water some scribes carried for him. He has everything to prove and we'll find out whether the money has turned him into Josh Beckett.
It's always the Janet Jackson, "what have you done for me lately?" story in big markets.
It's always the Janet Jackson, "what have you done for me lately?" story in big markets.
com/players/d/drewst01.shtml Speaking of carrying water,Scott Boras will need to find some creative stats (OPS against RHP in day games not on the weekend) to put a shine on Stephen Drew. Aside from hurting the Sox offensively and damaging if not destroying Xander Bogaerts' confidence, Drew has hit even worse (almost unimaginable) since going to the Yankees. Sports psychologists should be in short supply this off-season. Can't blame Drew for XB's expanded strike zone, but in the epic bad decisions category, Ben Cherington gets an Oscar Gamble for that one.
Last in runs scored and slugging, next to last in OPS, the Red Sox can't claim to be "smartest guys in the room" in the world of 'mean reversion.' Dustin Pedroia (still hurt?) can't drive the ball up the alleys anymore and getting Allen Craig "cheap" doesn't mean they got the productive Allen Craig. The Sox have gotten pretty woeful production from both the outfield and the corners, which doesn't even account for the Jarod Saltamacchia versus AJP...not that he's lighting it up. http://www.baseball-reference.
Peter Gammons warned that players would start looking a lot older, sooner, in the post PED era.
This season has certainly raised questions about the bargain basement approach to team building, and Larry Lucchino, Cherington, et al. better hope that the killer B's - Barnes, Bradley, Bogaerts, Betts - become more than AAAA talent. Speaking of Lucchino, he's everywhere when they win and the Invisible Man now.
Losing isn't the ultimate sin, boring is. The Red Sox have become the 1961-1966 version 2.0 and regrettably, I'm old enough to remember those dark days, horror interrupted by no-nos byBill Monbouquette, Earl Wilson, and Dave Morehead. Fever Pitch has become Fever Bitch.

It will be hard to detect a "failing" RAID array. Your best option would be to go to the manufacturer of the RAiD or the manufacturer of your server to see if they would provide a "smart array intelligence" to give you that low level capabilities. Sometimes signs would be a performance decrease (I/O related) or occassional "hang ups".
Normally hot spares are allowed to be added when the array was created only but you can attempt to review your manufacturer's guide. With the exception of RAID 0 (basically no raid at all), you should be able to survive one failed drive. If multiple drives fail, then you would have issues with recovery from last known backup.
I would install a backup agent on this server and back it up often if you suspect something. Consider building a new server as a standby server. May consider utilzing XoSoft or Doubletake to replicate the changes between the two servers.
The best way to know the signs of the RAID array is to test it using some storage devices. You can also test other devices to determine if it is still working or not.

Tighter Regulations Setting Battery Recycling Back a Decade, Sending Batteries Back to Landfills
Photo via moria via Flickr CC
About a week ago, we caught word from 3r Living, an eco-friendly home decor and lifestyle store and website, that they're having a real problem with tightened regulations from the Department of Transportation on shipping batteries for recycling. The stricter regulations include that each individual battery must be either placed in its own plastic bag or have both terminals taped off. This makes battery recycling an expensive hassle, especially when companies like 3r Living are collecting large numbers of batteries from their customers to send in for recycling. 3r Living is unhappily planning to stop sending batteries to their primary recycler, Battery Solutions, and possibly stop collecting and recycling them all together. And they fear many other companies will be doing the same. So we got ahold of Battery Solutions to find out exactly what's up with the new rules. The news isn't good.
The Problem with DOT's Regulations on Battery Recycling
Mark Caserta from 3r Living wrote in with a big concern:
As you know, 3r Living collects batteries, at our own cost, and sends them via fedex in a special bucket to Battery Solutions. Recently, we received notices from Battery Solutions that Federal law requires that every battery sent to their facility must either be bagged individually in plastic or have both terminals taped. Yes, that's right, the Federal government is requiring people to waste plastic in order to recycle batteries. Even worse, yesterday I received a report from DOT after an inspection they did at Battery Solutions' facility. They report detailed our my "violations" and warned that 3r Living could be fined up to $50,000 next time. This means that we are going to STOP sending batteries to Battery Solutions and we may stop collecting batteries, altogether, unless something is done.
There are some concerns about batteries heating up and perhaps exploding. Most of it is unfounded, although care should be taken with some batteries.
I wanted to pass along the rules that were sited, along with contact info for Battery Solutions, in case you were interested in the story. As I said, 3r Living loses money on battery recycling, but we think that Battery Recycling companies do good work and we would hate to see this industry ruined by a stupid rule.
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 171-180.
Sections 5123 and 5124 of Title 49, United States Code provide for civil and criminal penalties for any violation of the HMR.
This warning letter has been issued under the provisions of 49 CFR 107.309.
We decided to get a hold of Battery Solutions and find out what the regulations mean, and the impact they're having. The answers were not something we were excited to hear.
The Impact of DOT's Battery Recycling RegulationsJeremy Sova and John Herschlean of Battery Solutions responded right away to our call. They're as frustrated at the regulations as the companies and consumers who are increasingly wanting to recycle their batteries.
Here's the deal:
The DOT regulations deal with the transportation of all batteries, but in the past they've mainly focused on wet cell batteries, rather than dry cell batteries - these are, for instance, the familiar AA type of batteries we use daily. While millions of shipments of batteries that go to recyclers every year, last year there was an incident on one truck that caught fire and it appears that the fire is traced back to a lead acid battery - a wet cell battery - on the truck.
Lead acid batteries are known to be dangerous. However, it's been shown typical alkaline batteries that we use in our flashlights and remote controls don't produce the dangerous heat that can cause fire. Yet the DOT has tightened regulations on all batteries across the board, including the regulation that they need to be shipped separately.
Sova stated, "They're making some unnecessary interpretation of issues that don't concern safety whatsoever. [We and our] competitors, over the years in millions of shipments, haven't had anything happen and then one truck burns - that has an acknowledged dangerous material on it - and everything gets regulated across the board."
Setting Back Battery Recycling by a Decade
Sova stated that this tightening of transportation regulation for all battery types has set the battery recycling industry back a decade, and is sending millions of pounds of batteries to landfills.
Municipalities often have battery collection programs that direct batteries to their hazardous waste facilities, which then contract with battery recyclers for the recycling process. However, with tightening budgets and the extra hassles of the rules, they don't have the resources to maintain the programs. Many cities and states are cutting way back on their recycling programs and batteries are going straight to landfill.
Yet, in a states that have mandated battery recycling such as California (which has a state-wide mandate that all batteries must be recycled), this presents a conundrum. How do they call off their battery recycling programs until there is more money in the budget when they have this mandate to follow? It leads to concerns that batteries will be shipped across state lines and dumped in Arizona landfills instead.
Beyond Cost, Consumers Worried About Responsibility
Cost set aside, there is another concern that keeps people from wanting to recycle batteries thanks to the inappropriately tightened regulations. Many people don't know or are unable to easily identify the different types of batteries and so sort and ship them incorrectly. If it is found that they've shipped them incorrectly, they can face huge fines. That leads to many businesses and groups that recycle not wanting to take on the responsibility, and are therefore ending their programs.
Educating the DOT, and the Long Haul Back to Better Recycling
While battery recycling facilities are working to educate the DOT inspectors about the science and safety behind battery shipments, that doesn't translate into regulation changes. Herschlean and Sova both feel that it'll be several years before any progress might be made to clarify regulations and get our program back on track. They point to the European Union which they say is about 15 years ahead of us in their recycling programs, and they don't have this kind of regulation in place.
"They allow hauling of mixed batteries without terminals being protected and no one would accuse them on being soft on regulation or environment. It's just logical and this isn't," said Sova. "They have a really good infrastructure in place; we were catching [up with] them and then this took place. Millions of pounds of alkaine batteries are going to landfill when they shouldn't be."
The shift came in September of last year, when we saw reports and releases coming out about how the "new" regulations would affect battery recycling for everything from batteries to cell phones. As Sullivan states, it seems the EPA and DOT are on different wavelengths about priorities with what goes in landfills.
Sova emphasized how upsetting this is because Battery Solutions is passionate about what they do and has a zero landfill policy. More recyclers, they fear, will simply collect the batteries and send them off to landfill, rather than actually recycling them.
Finding Answers for Battery Recycling Wherever Possible
One solution Battery Solutions has in place is a kit purchasable on their website that instructs users exactly how to send in their batteries and provides all the necessary materials. They've found that individual consumers almost universally follow the instructions properly, but that commercial operations often do not. It will take a lot of education and budget to educate everyone to follow the new rules, and that, along with reluctance from those sending in the batteries and the time it'll take to overhaul the regulations, means more batteries heading to landfills and bad news for all of us.

For the brioche dough:
175 grams all purpose flour (1 ¼ cup)
1 ¼ tsp instant yeast
25 grams granulated sugar (2 tbsp)
½ tsp salt
2 medium eggs
30 grams whole milk (1 ½ tbsp)
80 grams butter, cut into small cubes
For the honey almond topping:
1cup slivered almonds
75grams butter
½ cup Goody Pure Honey
For the pastry cream:
3 cups water
9 tbsp Goody Velor Milk Powder, dissolved in 3 cups water
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
¼ cup cornstarch
1tbsp all purpose flour
4 large egg yolks
50 grams butter, sliced
1.To make the dough:Mix the flour with the yeast in a bowl of a stand mixer.Add all the remaining ingredients except the butter and turn on the mixer to low speed, for 5 to 10 minutes.
2.Then, start adding the butter one piece at a time, adding another piece only after the previous one disappears, till all the butter is mixed in the dough. Stop the mixer, and scrape the dough, and turn it on back again for 5 minutes. Again, stop the mixer and scrape the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a loose ball by folding the corners into the centre, and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes, after 30 minutes, turn the dough onto a floured surface, stretch it and fold it on itself as if you are folding a letter. Place it in the bowl again, and repeat after another 30 minutes. Finally, place it in an oiled bowl and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours and up to overnight.To make the pastry cream:In a saucepan, stir together 2 1/2 cups of the water, the milk, the sugar, salt, and the vanilla bean. (If you're using vanilla extract add it at the end.) Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
3.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the cornstarch, flour, and egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup water.
4.Whisk the hot milk mixture GRADUALLY with the egg yolks to temper them. This keeps the yolks from turning to scrambled eggs when you put them back on heat.
5.Pour the egg/milk mixture back into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens.
6.Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract (if you're using it) then refrigerate until cool
7.To Assemble:Butter a 9-inch spring form pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Take out the brioche dough from the refrigerator, press it into the prepared pan evenly, cover and let it proof for one hour and a half.
8.Preheat your oven and start making the almond honey topping: melt the butter and honey in a saucepan, and then add the slivered almonds, stir to combine and then spread this mixture over the brioche dough. Bake the brioche for 20-25 minutes or till a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.Remove brioche from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool. After it cools, split it in half horizontally, and section the TOP half into 8 equal slices, this will make it easier to cut the cake later. Spread the cooled pastry cream onto the bottom half and put the top back on. Refrigerate this cake for an hour, then serve and enjoy.
Use weight measurements for the dough to get more accurate results.

Absolutely! If you do not feel your lesson was taught by a qualified instructor who was focused on your needs; we'll refund the price of the lesson.
What is the Driven methodology?
Our coaches have an image of the ideal pitch \ throw \ swing \ etc in their mind. Their task working with your athlete is to take their technique from where it is today and systematically reshape it to match that ideal model. Sometimes a simple adjustment can make a huge difference, but often it is a process that happens over a series of lessons where we might have to adjust the footwork - before we can fix the hand position. Through the guidance of our Directors, who both have a Masters degree in Educational Psychology, our coaches know that players only retain a small portion of what they hear, more of what they see, and the most from what they feel. This is why we use a progression of discussion, demonstration, drills-at-Driven, and drills-for-home that focus on a specific aspect of the motion and systematically build their retention.
What guest ammenities are available?
You are more than welcome to watch your player's lesson from the cage area, or relax in our comfy waiting area complete with DirectTV, Free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning / heat.

When shopping for auto insurance coverage, it is vital that you simply hunt down the very best offers for your cash. Many are below the impression that automotive insurance coverage charges are decided by the overall high quality of the automobile insurance coverage that's provided. Nevertheless, there are lots of corporations out there that offer low-cost auto insurance coverage and supply quality advantages, and services. Right here, you can be launched to some things that you should look out for with regards to getting low cost auto insurance. Whether or not you're looking for charges that can cover a used car, or a new one, these useful techniques will help you in your endeavor.
Nevertheless, until now we've not seen software make vital use of all these laptop methods. There is no frequent working system. Given that carmakers are preventing CarPlay or Android Auto from playing that position, it's clear that the auto corporations are taking a first crack at it. How profitable they're will rely on how formidable and inventive they are. Roughly 10 minutes north of Google's office, I bought to see how one of many oldest automobile companies is beginning to consider this risk.
All in all, though some antique auto elements are very onerous to seek out, there are at all times going to be options and alternatives out there instead of the vintage auto components themselves. Regardless that it might be difficult to know the notion that no part is out there anyplace, life should go on and the restoration of the vintage car must proceed if one is to succeed with the aim of getting it again to pristine and working situation!
A time-certain search for an auto loan will ensure that you do not harm your credit score. FICO does not take into account inquiries made within the 30 days prior to scoring. So, if you'll be able to get a mortgage within 30 days, it wont affect your rating. This span of time can change to 14 days if the lender makes use of older variations of FICO and can improve to forty five days if the lender uses the latest components.
These of us of a certain age might remember the unique Lexus SC, an costly, no-limits luxurious coupe that owners an ex-house owners still remember fondly 20 years later. Now, now we have a proper successor: meet the LC, a flagship coupe ready to do battle with the BMWs and Mercedes of the world. Really, you might say it's Lexus' new flagship, interval.

Several places around the level offer great defensive positions during 1 flag CTF games. By jumping up onto the roof tops, you can shoot down onto advancing enemies from above. Plus, in both of the marked locations, you'll find a Plasma Pistol.
Standing on top of the crates with a Battle Rifle allows you to quickly shoot down any enemies who try to rush in and steal your flag. It also allows you to stay out of the path of anything they fire at your base.
There is a ledge above the exit to the Warehouse that leads towards the base. If you stand on it, you'll have protection on three sides and be able to shoot down at unsuspecting enemies.
The only Sniper Rifle is located here. It is a great weapon for controlling the long, open streets. Use the ramp that leads up beside it by smashing through the glass on the ground floor. It is much faster and less dangerous.
The door to the warehouse can be punched or blown open, but will swing shut again. If someone keeps shooting out of the door as it swings open and closed, try jumping over the wall to surprise them from above.
The Warthog is the only vehicle in the level. Due to the windy backroads, the Warthog works best as a stationary turret. Quickly hop out if a grenade tips it over.

Sales begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. for Game 2 and 3 (if necessary) at KeyArena. Seattle is seeded second, meaning it would travel for Game 1 and play at home for the final two possible matchups in the best-of-three opening-round series. The Storm is 9-12 all-time in the postseason. Dates haven't been set, but the playoffs begin Sept. 16 and Seattle could have a game on Sept. 18 or 19. Tickets start at $16 and can be purchased online at stormbasketball.com or by calling 1-877-WNBA-TIX. The Storm is making their sixth-straight playoff appearance, getting booted in the opening round every year since winning the 2004 WNBA Championship. Three members of that team remain in a Storm uniform (PG Sue Bird, C Janell Burse and F Lauren Jackson). Only rookie Ashley Walker doesn't have postseason experience and the 2009 Storm roster boasts four WNBA champions with five WNBA championships between them (Bird `04, Burse, '04, F Swin Cash `03 and `06 and Jackson `04).

Location: Mountain Point, Virgin Gorda
Today was an eventful day here on Great White. We woke up, flawless, at 7 am, ready for the exciting day ahead of us. Breakfast consisted of cereal, and once that was over, we motored over to the chimneys, which were super cool. The chimneys are rocks that lean on each other, creating sweet swim-throughs. Loads of fish were there, including an arrow crab we could hold, absolutely flawless. After that dive, we sailed to coral gardens for another dive! This time, we saw an airplane wreck on the dive, which we were all able to swim through. The 2 dives made Great White pretty hungry, so it's good that we had an ah-mazing lunch planned: mac and cheese. Flawless! After lunch, we listened to Tropics, which is quickly becoming Great White's favorite song. Then, the Neptunes went to Rangitoto Too for their fish ID knowledge review chats, and the dolphins went to Adonis for their underwater naturalist knowledge review chat. Both chats were really interesting, and when they were over, it was time for showers, which were fun as per usual. Finally, it was time for dinner, which was garden burgers, one of my absolute favorite meals at AQ. Now it's time for the squeeze, and then a boat Lifeworks forum, which is bound to be incredible. I can't wait for what tomorrow will bring, which is bound to be FLAWLESS!

South Africans, like many people in the United States right now, and many in Colombia and the United Kingdom, have been thinking deeply about who we are, where we came from, and where we are heading as a country. In 2016, South Africans also woke up, one morning, to a changing shift in the political landscape—a view we had become accustomed to. What seemed unlikely once was now before our eyes. Local government elections saw major cities across the country, including Pretoria, the seat of government, now in the hands of the opposition. Where once race divided our votes, now the need for an accountable, honest, and committed government has begun to unite us.

SeFAC: Seed Funding for Advanced Computing
There is currently no call for proposals
Among the objectives of the Research Computing Data Core (RCDC) is the promotion of computation as a broad cultural enterprise on the UH campus. In the pursuit of this objective, RCDC has established the program Seed Funding for Advanced Computing (SeFAC), open to full-time researchers and tenured or tenure-track faculty members of any College, Professional School or Research Center of the University. Each grant will support a full-time doctoral student for one calendar year. Although not completely ruled out, support beyond this time limit will be granted only in very exceptional circumstances. It is expected that, at the end of the funding period, recipients will be in a position to write a research proposal to a funding agency, company or foundation.
While computation has long been a standard research tool in the sciences and engineering dis- ciplines, less traditional users in the social sciences, the humanities etc. are also encouraged to apply.
The evaluation of proposals will be carried out by a panel composed of members external to the University of Houston who do not present conflicts of interest with the submitted proposals.
Program rules
- The program is open to full-time researchers and tenured or tenure-track faculty members of any College, Professional School or Research Center of the University of Houston;
- Only proposals which contain a substantial computational component will be considered;
- It is understood that most of the computations required by the project will be carried out on RCDC resources at no cost to the awardees;
- Proposals must conform to the format outlined below and must be submitted by the due date specified each year;
- The scientific staff, director and co-director of RCDC are barred from participation in the program.
Letter of intent
In order for the panel of external evaluators to be constituted in a timely manner with members qualified to evaluate the submitted proposals, proposers are asked to submit a letter of intent which includes a provisional title and abstract of the full proposal. Both the title and abstract can be refined later, but they must be clear as to the specific topic of the planned proposal. The letter of intent must be submitted one month prior to the deadline for the full proposal. Letters of intent must be submitted electronically by the date of the deadline.
Proposal preparation
The proposal must conform to the following guidelines:
- Proposals must be submitted electronically by the date of the deadline.
- The proposal is to be prepared with a font not smaller than 11 points, with each page fitting on a standard 8 1/2"×11" area with 1" margin all around;
- The first page must indicate the title, name of the proposer (and, if appropriate, of other participating faculty) and a concise abstract;
- The introduction, description of the problem and its significance and the methodology to be followed must occupy a maximum of 5 pages (the title and budget pages do not count toward the page limit). These sections of the proposal must present a compelling rationale for the need of extensive computational resources and must quantify the amount of resources necessary for the project;
- Any number of appendices of any length is allowed, but proposers are advised that, although evaluators may read them, they will not be required to do so;
- Proposals must include a budget page. Ordinarily the budget will be sufficient to support one doctoral student for one calendar year including salary, tuition, health fee and, possibly, support to present results at a conference. Faculty summer support is not allowed. In special circumstances, a limited amount of additional support may be available if crucial to the success of the project. Access to RCDC resources will be provided free of charge and should not figure as a budget item;
- Proposals must include a list of references and a two-page CV of the proposer including a list of the most significant papers;
- If the proposer received a SeFAC grant in a previous funding period, a two-page (maximum) description of the results of the previous project must be included as well.
Applicants should keep in mind that their proposals will be read by both specialists and non- specialists of their subject. While readers in the latter group are not expected to have a full under- standing of the technical details, the proposal must be written so as to convey the essence of the proposed project to them as well; some specialists may want to refer to the Appendices for details.
Submission of letters of intent and proposals
Letters of intent and proposals must be submitted electronically by the applicable deadline through the proposals page on the RCDC web site.
Proposals will be evaluated by a panel of evaluators appointed by the RCDC director, none of whom is presently employed by the University of Houston or collaborating with UH faculty. The constitution of the panel is at the sole discretion of the RCDC Director in consultation with the Vice President/Vice Chancellor for Research and Intellectual Property. The number of members and their areas of expertise will depend on the letters of intent received. The panel will prepare a ranked list of proposals and, in so doing, it may seek to balance the distribution of awards across disciplines if it finds it appropriate.
Funding will be awarded by the RCDC director in consultation with the RCDC Internal Advisory Board according to the order in the ranked list, depending on the amount of available funds. The number of awards may be expected to be between 4 and 8 each year.
Final reportWithin two months from the end of the funding period, awardees must submit a final report to the RCDC director describing the project outcomes and resulting publications. If a proposal resulting from the award is submitted to an entity external to the University of Houston, this proposal can be submitted in lieu of the final report.

Dangerous Belief? Xin 信 in Occult Anecdotes in Tang and Song China: Berkeley Public Theology Lecture
Lecture | April 6 | 5-7 p.m. | Stephens Hall, Geballe Room 220
Robert Hymes, Carpentier Professor of Oriental Studies, Columbia University
Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion
In recent research on the concept of 信, belief, in Song dynasty (960-1279) China, I have discovered a surprising pattern in twelfth-century occult anecdotes (narratives told as true, recording human interactions with gods, ghosts, and other spirits): it appears that both believing and disbelieving a proposition or representation from another being, human or spiritual, were treated as unreliable and dangerous by the anecdotes tellers, while terms meaning suppose, suspect, take it to be that
, which seem to refer to developing a view not from anothers proposition or representation but from ones own observation of ones situation, are treated as yielding views that are much more reliable, though far from infallible. At Berkeley, I will present new research examining whether the same interesting pattern holds in parallel sources for the previous major dynasty, the Tang (618-906), or whether it is a product of change between the two periods.
Robert Hymes received his B.A. from Columbia College (1972), and his M.A. (1976) and Ph.D. (1979) from the University of Pennsylvania. His work so far has focused on the social and cultural history of middle period and early modern China, drawing questions and sometimes data from cultural anthropology as well as history, and using the methods of the local historian to study elite culture, family and kinship, medicine, religion, gender, and (currently) the changing role and form of Chinese social networks from the tenth through the seventeenth centuries. His publications include Statesmen & Gentlemen: The Elite of Fu-chou, Chiang-hsi, in Northern & Southern Sung (Cambridge, 1987); Ordering the World: Approaches to State & Society in Sung Dynasty China (Berkeley, 1993, co-edited with Conrad Schirokauer); and Way and Byway: Taoism, Local Religion, and Models of Divinity in Sung and Modern China. Both Statesmen and Gentlemen and Way and Byway won the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies for the best book on pre-1900 China in their years of publication.

Frequent Links
A verneshot (named after French author Jules Verne) is a hypothetical volcanic eruption event caused by the buildup of gas deep underneath a craton. Such an event may be forceful enough to launch an extreme amount of material from the crust and mantle into a sub-orbital trajectory.
Connection with mass extinctions
Verneshots have been proposed as a causal mechanism explaining the statistically unlikely contemporaneous occurrence of continental flood basalts, mass extinctions, and "impact signals" (such as planar deformation features, shocked quartz, and iridium anomalies) traditionally considered definitive evidence of hypervelocity impact events.[1]
The verneshot theory suggests that mantle plumes may cause heating and the buildup of carbon dioxide gas underneath continental lithosphere. If continental rifting occurs above this location, an explosive release of the built up gas may occur, potentially sending out a column of crust and mantle into a globally dispersive, super-stratospheric trajectory. It is unclear whether such a column could stay coherent through this process, or whether the force of this process would result in it shattering into much smaller pieces before impacting. The pipe through which the magma and gas had travelled would collapse during this process, sending a shockwave at hypersonic velocity that would deform the surrounding craton.
A verneshot event is likely to be related to nearby continental flood basalt events, which may occur before, during or after the verneshot event. This may help in searching for evidence for the results of verneshot events; however, it is also quite probable that most of such evidence will be buried underneath the basalt flows, making investigation difficult. J. Phipps Morgan and others have suggested that subcircular Bouguer gravity anomalies recognized beneath the Deccan Traps may indicate the presence of verneshot pipes related to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.[1]
If the Deccan Traps were the location of a verneshot event at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, the strong iridium spike at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary could be explained by the iridium-rich nature in volatiles of the Reunion mantle plume, which is currently beneath Piton de la Fournaise, but during the end Cretaceous was located beneath India in the area of the Deccan Traps; the verneshot event could potentially distribute the iridium globally.[1]
Smaller scale Verneshots
Less dramatic rock eruptions were documented in 2003 after a 1999 earthquake in central Taiwan.[2]
Smaller scale verneshot events were proposed by Phipps Morgan and others to be a possible causal mechanism for the intrusion of kimberlite pipes, which propagate along lines of crustal weakness produced by an earlier larger verneshot event.
The site of the 1908 Tunguska event is proposed as a possible location of a recent micro-verneshot or kimberlite event. The site of ground zero in Tunguska is located within the Siberian traps, a large igneous province, formed at the Permo-Triassic boundary and, interestingly, recent work has indicated a circular depression underlying the traps, a direct prediction of the verneshot model.[1][3] In the verneshot model, the cratonic crust beneath this region would remain as a point of weakness, allowing the intrusion of a kimberlite pipe or, alternatively, a micro-verneshot, degassing from intrusion, resulted in an outpouring of volcanic gas which was then ignited. However the theory is controversial and is simply stated as a possible example.
The micro-verneshot model does not require the ejection of crustal material—only intrusion at depth.
In 1865 Jules Verne's novel From the Earth to the Moon introduced the concept of a ballistic projectile escaping the Earth's gravity, from which Phipps Morgan and others derived the name "Verneshot" in their paper theorizing a connection between extinction events and cratonic gas ejection. This was in the projectile-naming tradition of John Hunter, whose 47 m expanding hydrogen gun, SHARP, is only a precursor to the "Jules Verne Launcher" with a 3,500 m barrel length, which was designed in the early 1990s[4] for first-stage satellite launch.

"I became interested in the causes of mass-extinctions, in particular worrying about the 'too-many-coincidences' problem that these periods appear to be associated (if we believe what's published in the mainstream literature) with BOTH extremely rare continental flood basalts and continental rifting, and even rarer 'impact signals' commonly presumed to come from large extraterrestrial bolide impacts. Our recently published Verneshot hypothesis is our best guess on how to explain these coincidences in a self-consistent causal manner."

Sorry, but you're not an Austin musician until…
Posted by mcorcoran on May 2, 2013
Meatloaf has moved to Austin. Jazz notable Esperanza Spaulding supposedly lives here, too. Ditto Greg Rolle of Santana and Journey, Greg Ginn of Black Flag and Miranda Lambert, I just found out. Glad to have 'em, but these folks are not to be referred to as "Austin musicians." It takes more than a ZIP code that starts with 787 to truly be considered a hometown musician. Use this guideline to tell the difference between a musician who lives in Austin and an Austin musician:
Sorry, but you're not an Austin musician until…
… you've spent the night with someone because they have hot water.
… Raoul Hernandez ignores your friend request.
… you've played a five-act bill at the Saxon Pub for a piece of the door.
… you've quit a job at Thundercloud to go out on a tour of San Marcos, San Antonio and, shit, Corpus just canceled.
… you've been fired by Bob Schneider.
… you've opened your front door for a bassist in a mullet who saw the ad.
… you've paid more for parking than you made that night.
… you've been a member of Asleep At the Wheel.
… you sometimes drive by Tamale House #3 at lunchtime by habit.
… you've boosted a case of beer out the back door after a gig.
… you've been rejected by SXSW so many times they still send a letter each year even though you didn't apply…
… a $20 bill in the tip jar saved your life.

Actually, none of the folks mentioned in the first paragraph qualify as Austin musicians because they all have paying gigs…

You get a gig at The Hole in the Wall/Continental Club/Carousel Lounge because your friends are headlining…

A few links and thoughts
This gif that illustrates housing prices by county shows how property values are concentrated in the USA. It would be interesting see how this looks if divided by the population density….
I pay my credit cards monthly on payday out of convenience. I like to get the money out of my account since it is spoken for. I don't worry about taking advantage of the float. I don't reconcile charges monthly, but do eventually look through them and found a double charge from Amazon recently. This is the first time I've ever noted an error! (I was refunded.) I used to look at spending monthly, but I haven't had the interest to look at that level of detail lately.
I posted my own DIY success last week, but I definitely agree that DIY can be overrated. We've had a lot of success with small projects, but I have to admit that my husband is a lot more adept than I am (so far?). We've also hired several big projects. It is possible to do your own drainage work, and probably not even that technically complex – but it is a LOT of labor, especially if you don't have the right tools. I mean, step one is to dig a giant ditch. No thanks. However, I don't believe in the "don't do it unless you know what you're doing" philosophy, because most of us don't know how to do much before we take the time to learn. Research the project, estimate how much cash it will cost you to try it yourself, and make a judgement call on whether you are likely to get the results you want. You can learn a lot from the internet these days (or from friends/family).
Ask A Manager is always interesting, but I found the comments on this post about who "covers" while someone is on vacation when you don't have direct reports really interesting. A lot of people are expected to clear their plate as much as possible, then check in on anything critical themselves. The norm for my LA job was typically that I would clear my plate, and most things could wait. My out-of-office would direct people to my manager if they needed immediate help. (I had some roles where there was no remote access, so this helped.) It is similar at my job, but I've yet to see anyone use out-of-office responses. The norm is to make sure concerned parties know you'll be out, and things can generally wait until you are back. People on the project will already know who to ask if they don't get a quick response, and we don't generally deal with external people that have urgent needs.
Related bad manager rant: My last manager went on a 2+ week vacation to Europe and clearly didn't trust me to handle the things he delegated to me. He had me set up 2 or 3 times weekly meetings early-morning my time, evenings his time. Before the first one, I sent a detailed summary of the past few days and we walked through that. I did the same thing before the second call, but he never showed up. Nor did he cancel. Nor did I hear from him until he returned! I totally get checking out while on vacation – but be realistic and don't make me schedule meetings that you aren't committed to making. I kept sending summaries, but by the time he got back they were mostly old news as I had to move forward either way.
Who covers your work when you are out? What is your favorite bad manager rant? Do you have any DIY success stories?
July 12, 2015 12:16 pm
Bad managers in my book, micromanage you (like yours did) and don't leave you alone. I usually try and give them MORE work in return to ask them to follow up on things any time they ask me for something so they stop asking.

Well, I guess he couldn't be our first Black president, since Billy Jeff already has that title. So Obama will have to settle for being our first Gay president (1), as annointed by Newsweek:
And do note the required religious symbolism (gag!), proclaiming our Lightworker (2) chief executive as not just our first Gay president, but some sort of rainbow saint. This, of course, comes from the
news magazine Obama marketing rag whose editor once proclaimed Obama "like a god."
Funny, that god-like saint apparently tried back in 2008 to bribe his racist ex-pastor, in whose church he sat for over 20 years without ever noticing he was a flaming bigot, to shut up. Through intermediaries and with full deniability, of course.
Hardly what one would expected from such an enlightened, sensitive being. Except one from Chicago.

(1) Does this mean he'll finally speak out for all the gays tortured and murdered under Islamic regimes? Nah. They don't vote here.
(2) I'm never going to let you live this down Morford. It's fawning toadies like you who feed cults of personality.

Where to go this spring
April 3, 2017
As the days are getting longer, our adventurous expat spirit mode reappears and we start searching for new places to visit. With flowers blossoming, warmer weather and more sunlight, we could not avoid giving you some tips about the best places to visit this spring.
Hallerbos, Belgium
Known as the blue forest, Hallerbos is located in Belgium at the border between the Flemish and Walloon regions.
Its nickname comes from the fact that the forest is crowded with bluebells that bloom in the middle of the spring (normally around April, but this can vary from year to year, depending on the weather).
Whether you are an amateur or passionate photographer, do not miss this opportunity to take some fairy tale pictures in the middle of this forest. Your friends will be jealous!
Algarve, Portugal
If you just need to boost your vitamin D levels after a cold winter in Europe, it is time to look south! Spain and the south of France range among the most well-known seaside destinations, but the Algarve region in south Portugal is also a region that it should be in your list.
Long beaches, which are deserted in spring – except for the Easter period – are one of its main attractions, but if you are an aspiring surfer, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the Portuguese waves and take some lessons!
Hardanger, Norway
If you want to enjoy off-the-beaten-track spectacular natural treasures, the region of the Hardangerfjord will not disappoint you.
Starting with the fjord itself, which is the fourth-largest in the world and the second biggest in Norway, this area has unique landscapes that are hard to find in any other European region.
You can enjoy the views of some famous waterfalls or visit one of the glaciers in Folgefonna National Park. And if you are an expert hiker planning to make the trip towards the end of the spring, you can hike to the top of one of the most spectacular cliffs in Norway: Tollunga. But remember, safety first, this is a hike only for experts!

Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue is present in sites outside the uterine cavity such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, bowel, bladder and the uterine ligaments.
The endometrium is a tissue layer of the uterus that thickens during the menstrual cycle and is shed at period time. If this tissue is present in otherparts of the body, it is influenced by hormones, and will thicken and shed, but cannot be released from the body. This may result in pain, swelling and scarring and may cause damage that my contribute to infertility.
Women with endometriosis have higher levels of prostaglandins and leukotrienes which adversely affect ovulation, fertilisation, embryo development and motility of the Fallopian tubes.
Signs and symptoms
- Pelvic pain
- Irregular or changed menses
- Pain with intercourse
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Abdominal bloating
- Back pain
- Painful periods
- Bowel changes, diarrhoea, bleeding
- Difficulty conceiving
Conventional medical treatment usually involves either continual use of the contraceptive pill, or surgical ablation of abnormal tissue.
Herbal medicine can offer some hope to women who suffer with endometriosis. Dietary changes, liver detoxification, hormone balancing herbs and supplements to assist with pain and inflammation can make a significant difference in managing this debilitating condition. Those wishing for pregnancy can also be assisted with naturopathic support. For further information or appointment contact us via the contact page.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that develops because the woman's body produces too many androgens. It is characterised by the growth of many small cysts on the ovaries, which are not harmful, but lead to hormone imbalances.
In PCOS, the ovaries start making slightly more androgens which cause you to stop ovulating, get acne, and grow extra facial and body hair. The body may have a problem using insulin, (insulin resistance) causing blood sugar levels go up, increasing your chances of getting diabetes.
Early diagnosis and treatment is helpful to control the symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
Signs & Symptoms of PCOS
- irregular or absent periods
- polycystic ovaries – diagnosed by ultrasound
- pelvic pain
- hirsutism – excess or dark body and facial hair
- high levels of testosterone
- insulin resistance
- infertility due to lack of ovulation
- acne, oily skin
- weight gain, obesity
- type 2 diabetes
- dark brown/black skin on the neck, arms, breasts or thighs
Natural remedies, dietary changes such as increasing low GI foods in the diet and herbal treatments can be very useful to control symptoms, regulate the periods and assist with fertility.
A naturopathic women's health assessment by our experienced health practitioner may provide further information and alternative ways to manage this condition. Contact via our page or alternatively phone for an appointment today.

That was just a dismal period. Let's hope for a better 3rd. Can't blame Monster, the goals weren't good goals to let in but a lot of people are forgetting about the great saves he made earlier.
Weak calls from the refs, seriously. That one was a gift. Wings gotta pick it up anyways.
Couple nice plays by Kindl in the past few minutes to break up passes. This period has been rough....The Monster continues to look solid though.

gdt WCSF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Blackhawks 4, (CHI leads series 1-0)
adtthosa replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General^ The Wings aren't playing the Leafs here. This Chicago team is experienced and knows how to win and close out games. We got exactly what we expected tonight, a tough game from a good team. That being said, we kept it close and Howard was terrific. We need to start capitalizing on our chances more, especially on the PP (0-3 will not cut it in this series). Hoping for a better showing in Game 2.
gdt WCQF Game 7 GDT - Red Wings 3 @ Ducks 2 - (DET wins series, 4-3)
adtthosa replied to FlashyG's topic in GeneralIt feels so good to get this win and knock the Ducks out one final time while we're in the West! We played a tremendous game tonight, and this was a great series overall despite our tendency to blow leads. I also liked that the refs really let them play tonight, and obviously that ended up playing to our advantage. Zetterberg....what more can you say, this man is the heart of our team. Even though Chicago seems scary, I feel like we have nothing to lose. With Z, D, and Howard all playing well along with our 3rd and 4th lines rolling, we could really put up a good fight and maybe even take them out.

adtthosa replied to FlashyG's topic in GeneralIt was all downhill after the 5 minute major. We had a chance in this game, but everything that could have gone wrong did. Sucks to lose like this but I guarantee we will win game 4.

GDT WCQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings 1, at Ducks 3. (Anaheim leads, 1-0)
adtthosa replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralNot a great game for the Wings, but it's not the end of the world. We only need to take 1 of these first two to steal home ice advantage. Obviously some of our younger guys were a bit shaky tonight getting their first playoff starts, but they did an okay job. Ducks only scored on the PP, I thought we did a pretty decent job not giving them much 5 on 5. If only Kindl didn't take that damn delay of game penalty.....just put it off the boards next time! We got enough quality chances, just gotta bury them next game. Optimistic for game 2
WCQF Game Three GDT : Predators 3 at Red Wings 2
adtthosa replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralWe lost this game because of that slow start. Disappointing, but this series is far from over. It's at least going to 6 games. Our PP was weak as hell tonight, we have to capitalize on those chances.
Tampa Bay Lightning unveil new logo / jersey
adtthosa replied to Travis's topic in GeneralPretty sure the 3rds are sticking around, unfortunately. I like the change, but like it's been said the blue either needs to be darker or it needs a third colour to distinguish it a bit more from the Leafs. I think these will look good on the ice, but I'm not a big fan of dropping black from the colour scheme altogether.

Playing hockey
adtthosa replied to nate94gt's topic in GeneralMe and two of my buddies are doing the same thing as you right now. We all decided we wanted to pick up hockey and the past few weeks we've been going out to public skates and working on skating. It's been fun, even just skating on its own is a good exercise. I had a little bit of skating experience when I was younger so I'm catching on pretty quickly. Just keep on working at it and you'll see improvement come pretty early. It's never too late to learn something.
Save of the year?
adtthosa replied to a topic in GeneralSaw this live, right along Thomas' goal line.....unbelievable save. He had Leafs fans bowing to him after that one.
Andreas Lilja?
adtthosa replied to diehardredwing19's topic in GeneralI'm kind of surprised to hear that a lot of people don't want him back. I thought he played very solid in the playoffs, and I'd love to see him return.
Hudler's return
adtthosa replied to TheDetroitRedWings's topic in GeneralCan't blame him for taking the money, I was never mad to begin with. It'll be great to have him back.
WCQF Game 5 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Coyotes 1
adtthosa replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralGreat game, huge win. We played a near perfect road game, and right off the bat I think we challenged them physically which was key. Our entire defense was tremendous tonight especially on the penalty kill, and Howard was very solid in net. I thought Helm, Filppula and obviously Datsyuk had great games for the forwards. Good to see everyone stepping up at key moments. Sadly I have to work for Game 6, but here's hoping we come out with an effort similar to this one. The boys worked hard and it payed off.

80's Dresser Redo
I found a dresser for $5 at our neighborhood garage sale this summer. It was the perfect size for extra storage in my craft room/guest room but it was super 80's with the shiny brass hardware and maple finish. Definitely in need of an update.
Despite the sheen, it turned out well and was a great inexpensive makeover.
And now I have more storage for my crafts and sewing supplies.
Here's what's in it now...
College t-shirts waiting for me to get my act together and make a quilt already!
Finally, a place to stash all of my in-progress projects.


text: Why are certain contract practices considered standard, practical or fair? This Essay argues that the practices so identified will reflect, among other things, the level of trust inherent in a given society: its store of social capital. Those practices in turn will help determine how parties to a commercial transaction will approach their negotiation, how they will communicate, and on what terms they will eventually agree. In a low-trust environment, those terms may be comparatively inefficient, but may nonetheless be compelled by prevailing contract practices. This is true not only for the small transaction, but also for large and complex deals. As a result, when operating in a low-trust environment, even sophisticated parties, who can bear the costs of tailoring an agreement to their particular case, will be prone to relinquish or to sacrifice value. This Essay contrasts alternative *716 practices in merger and acquisition transactions, comparing the "standard"model that is generally encountered in the United States with an alternative often found in Latin America. The relationship between trust, social capital, and contract is then outlined. Finally, some preliminary observations are made comparing the normative and behavioral presuppositions of different legal traditions and how they may reinforce or help rationalize alternative contract practices.
