"I have found that if you love Life, Life will love you back." … Arthur Rubinstein
I always find it interesting to sit in local coffee shops. The people who show up there are as varied as the types of donuts for sale and their reactions to each other are just as wide. I was out this morning with a young friend of mine and as I waited for him to make it to the front of a long line-up (obviously a very popular doughnut and coffee shop!) I indulged in one of my favorite past-times … people watching.
A lovely, older gentleman of obviously, European heritage watched as my brightly colored cane & I made our way to an available table. His smile was sweet and the few lines we exchanged let me see how lonely he was. In the past I may have had judgments about him … the way another, much younger girl in the line did as he spoke with her … but today I simply saw Life shining out through his eyes and inviting me to share a smile.
I have found that Life doesn't always announce Its presence in big ways … with blaring trumpets … or with ticker tape parades but if I pay attention to what my heart sees instead of what my mind yaks on about then I am more often than not happily surprised. In contrast to other people who seem to be either looking for the big fireworks entrance … and therefore miss Its subtle presentation … or have given up on Life showing up at all and so … once again … miss out on Its Presence … I am one wide-open book: smiling at all and sundry in anticipation of a beautiful Life-sized smile coming back.
I love my life and I love Life and whilst Miss Perky may not be everyone else's first choice of dinner companions … when Life shows up … in Its many and wondrous disguises … she is always welcomed with smiles and shining eyes. We all especially like the way other people seem to feel almost compelled to get in on the smile-fest as well … that is just an awesome site to behold. Each day I continue to see and feel Life's awesome Presence dancing down life's road with me … and personally … I don't think that I could ask for a better traveling companion. Well Miss Perky and I are off to share our smiles with others. It will be wonderful to see through which pair of eyes Life shines today.
Godspeed and Joyful Journeying Everyone

Anonymous Information
We collect the following types of Anonymous Information:
Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Website a more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users' movements around the Website, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Website to our users' needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Website again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests.
Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the website.

This type of information is collected to make the Website more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
Pixel Tags. In addition, we use "Pixel Tags" (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, which are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users' Personal Information.

G20 leaders agree to use all tools to stimulate growth
IMF head highlights G20 states' determination to use all policy tools as global growth revised downward for 2016 and 2017.
Bahattin Gönültaş and Mahmut Atanur - ANKARA, BEIJING (AA) – Finance leaders from G20 countries reiterated Sunday their commitment to employing all policy tools -- monetary, fiscal and structural -- to pursue growth, while the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) called for broad-based policy efforts.
In a statement released at the conclusion of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in the southwest Chinese city of Chengdu, the IMF's Christine Lagarde highlighted member states' determination to use such tools individually and collectively to achieve strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth.
"We met at a time of political uncertainty from the Brexit vote, and continued financial market volatility. Lackluster growth of the post-crisis era continues, with weak demand in advanced economies and difficult transitions to a self-sustained growth model in many emerging markets," she said.
Noting that global growth had been revised downward slightly for 2016 and 2017 due to these circumstances, she described the discussions as having taken place "in a spirit of cooperation and willingness to tackle difficult issues".
"There was a consensus around the table that more needs to be done to share the benefits of growth and economic openness broadly within and among countries," she added.
"Structural reforms are particularly critical, as recent IMF work shows that well-designed structural reforms can lift both short- and long-term growth and make it more inclusive," she underlined. "Further trade liberalization is also crucial to bolster productivity and global growth, while taking steps to ensure the gains from trade are shared widely."
A joint communique issued after the two-day meeting described the global economic environment as "challenging", acknowledging that "downside risks persist, highlighted by fluctuating commodity prices, and low inflation in many economies".
"We are using fiscal policy flexibly and making tax policy and public expenditure more growth-friendly," it said. "We will carefully calibrate and clearly communicate our macroeconomic and structural policy actions to reduce uncertainty, minimize negative spillovers and promote transparency."
Earlier this month during a meeting in Shanghai, trade ministers from G20 countries pledged to improve trade governance and push efforts toward trade liberalization to combat a slowdown in growth.
The ministerial-level meeting was hosted in advance of the 2016 G20 Summit set to be held in the eastern city of Hangzhou on Sept. 4 and 5.

Química verde no ensino superior de química: estudo de caso sobre as práticas vigentes em uma IES paulista
Saqueto, Karla Carolina
MetadataShow full item record
The main objective in this paper is to analyze the scenario in Green Chemistry (GC) education practiced in a São Paulo-based IES (Higher Education Institute). This was achieved by studying the proposals which are especially directed to the development, adaptation and application of didactic experiments which have inserted GC contents. This scope was achieved by implementing a qualitative approach-based research methodology through document analysis, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, based on the methodological assumptions of content analysis alongside an extensive literature review that contributed to the GCE (Green Chemistry Education) publications. The study consisted of five experimental subjects in different areas of chemistry, which were observed and followed with regards to inserting GCE by introducing GC experiments and/or guidelines. Based on the data attained, this paper proposes six principles of GCE, which together with the Green Star (GS) holistic metric allow a better analysis and range of the experimental practices considered green. Among the GCE principles, the introduction of questioning/contextualization (STS approach) and research incentive proved to be vitally important. As observed through the introduction of the green experiments Detection of Metals routinely identified and Extraction and quantification of Fe (III) ions in soil samples , besides learning conceptual and procedural contents, some practices promoted attitudinal contents, which play an important role related to stimulating critical thinking, integrated approach to the exercise of citizenship and responsibilities for future competent professional practices and committed to humanistic, ethical criteria, and scientific rigor.

multiple SC_THREAD inside one Module
darshanKM posted a topic in SystemC LanguageHi all, I am new to SystemC and I have a course in my current semester. It would be great if someone answers my below questions: Case1: Consider a SC_MODULE(mod_1) with two SC_THREAD(p1); SC_THREAD(p2); Question1: which thread starts first? Question2: What is the order these two threads run? Do they run parallel or one after the other? Case2: Consider a SC_MODULE(mod_1) with one SC_THREAD(p1); SC_METHOD(p2); Question1: which thread starts first? Question2: What is the order these two threads run? Who starts first? Question3: Does SC_METHOD has priority than SC_THREAD? i.e if suppose SC_THREAD was running and same time SC_METHOD received a sensitivity. Does SC_THREAD pause and SC_THREAD starts execution? My questions are very primitive but it is very much important with exam point of view..:-) Thanks in Advance..

|Corda Network Foundation
|Document history
Admission Criteria Policy
1 Introduction
Participants, including Business Network Operators, must request a certificate from the Operator to gain access to and join Corda Network. The requirements should be constrictive enough for Participants and Business Networks Operators to feel safe and secure in the network, but also not too onerous to deter Participants from seeking admission. The guiding principles of joining the network are neutral, objective and transparent.
The Operator's validation and approval to the network should not be considered, nor treated as, a substitute for required "Know Your Customer" processes. Business Network Operators are obligated to escalate inappropriate business conduct or fraudulent identities to the Operator and relevant regulatory bodies or authorities.
2 Policy
A certificate will be provided to non-natural persons, i.e. organisations that are an incorporated legal entity. The following information should be provided by all Participants seeking access to Corda Network:
- Entity name
- Entity Address
- Contact Name
- Contact Email Address
- Contact Phone Number
- Unique ID – (GLEIF ID, EIN, CRN, etc.)
- Website Domain (Optional)
Note: additional details may be required for Participation billing, but these requirements do not form part of this Policy.
The Operator must conduct a sanction review commensurate with jurisdictional laws and regulations on all entities and establish a process to clear false positives. Positive matches will not receive a certificate for the network. Business Network Operators must perform their own KYC check and should not rely on the Operator's identification or sanction review. Business Network Operators are responsible for obtaining further documentation such as articles of incorporation, ultimate beneficial owners, etc. to verify identity and conduct appropriate due diligence checks (high risk industry analysis, high risk geographies, negative news checks) to ensure entities meet acceptable risk tolerance standards designed by the business network.
Certifications will be issued based on the information provided in the certification request. Any changes to information provided, including updating the entity name or contact information, will require a certification to be revoked and subsequently re-issued by the operator.
3 Rationale
The Corda Network should obtain minimum information required to confirm identity and for billing purposes. See below membership requirements for other foundations.
- SWIFT: The country risk (e.g. FATF versus non-FATF countries), affiliation of SWIFT Users to current member base,
intended use of SWIFT products and services (e.g. the use by the (applicant) SWIFT User of the SWIFT financial messaging
services for necessary and legitimate business purposes), applicable sanctions regulations, and credit worthiness of the
applicant SWIFT User. Other requests: A certificate of incorporation, a tax certificate, an operating license, a
declaration of ownership, a list of shareholders, a list of authorised signatures, the composition of the board and/or
executives and audited accounts.
- These requirements are too onerous for the Corda network. SWIFT is similar to a business network operator and all SWIFT members have a common interest in a specific type of service. Corda users have vastly different interests and uses so membership criteria should not be so stringent. It is worth noting that individual Business Network Operators could choose to implement more stringent requirements, such as seen by SWIFT, if it so chooses.
- OPEC: Any country with a substantial net export of crude petroleum, which has fundamentally similar interests to
those of Member Countries, may become a Full Member of the Organization, if accepted by a majority constituting
three-fourths of Full Members, including the concurring votes of all Founder Members.
- Centralized approval process not feasible for Corda Network design.
- ISO: When joining ISO, documents confirming the entity's status as the organization most representative of
standardization in the entity's respective country, and that said country is recognized by the United Nations.
- Corda network should only do business with UN recognized countries.
- ICANN: The name and contact information (including email address, physical address and contact phone number) for the
domain's registrant, administrative and billing contacts.
- This is practical for the Corda Network.
4 Addendum
For a US-based Operator, the following lists will be used:
- United Kingdom Her Majesty's Treasury Sanctions
- Office of Foreign Assets Control Non-Specially Designated National Entities
- Office of Foreign Assets Control Sanctions
- Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals
- United Nations Consolidated List
- Bureau of Industry and Security
- Excluded Parties List System
- FATF Financial Action Task Force
- Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Consolidated List—Canada

MH370 pilot flew to 40,000ft to suffocate passengers before crashing plane
The pilot of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 deliberately depressurised the cabin in order to slowly kill everyone on board, experts claim.
Troubled and lonely captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah then crashed the plane into the Indian Ocean, killing all 238 passengers, according to the independent group that has worked on the case.
The group behind the claims is made up of dedicated aviation experts, whose sole mission is to find out what happened to the doomed flight.
Some were even called in to help the official search for the plane, which went missing on March 8, 2014.
They claim Shah deliberately steered the Boeing 777 off course, before either waiting for the jet to run out of fuel or deliberately nose-diving it into the water so it disintegrated on impact.
The new claims are reported in The Atlantic, by respected aviation expert William Langewiesche.
According to Mr Langewiesche, the most likely theory is that Shah either killed or incapacitated his co-pilot, before depressurising the cabin.
Electrical engineer Mike Exner, a member of the independent group, believes Shah also made a steep climb to 40,000ft before the murder-suicide.
Mr Exner says climbing so rapidly, would have accelerated the depressurising process.
An intentional depressurisation would have been an obvious way – and probably the only way – to subdue a potentially unruly cabin in an airplane that was going to remain in flight for hours to come, adds Mr Langewiesche.
He said: In the cabin, the effect would have gone unnoticed, but for the sudden appearance of the drop-down oxygen masks and perhaps the cabin crews use of the few portable units of similar design.
None of those cabin masks was intended for more than about 15 minutes of use during emergency descents to altitudes below 13,000 feet; they would have been of no value at all cruising at 40,000 feet.

The changes include a shift from an approval-based listing process to one based on registration. Valuations and risk assessments will be left to investors and the market, the report said. Fifty of 760 listing candidates in the pipeline are expected launch IPOs at the end of January, Yangcheng Evening News reported.

One of the most endearing and perhaps the greatest strength of fiction writer Ann Hite's Black Mountain series is the authentic voices that Ann has given to her characters and narrator. They are so real it is as if they are standing right in front of you. I wanted to shake their hands upon introduction.
As Elizabeth Berg says, "The people who are the most irresistible are those who are most themselves."
We can actually 'feel' when they are not being themselves -- in real life and even on the page. You've met people who made you antsy, made you feel as if you are both sharing a secret and you've just met them. The secret of course is that you both know this person is not what he or she appears to be, or tries to appear to be. Of course this cover-up can make for an interesting plot development as the reader sees their 'persona' slip and eventually the character reveals his true colors.
But if this is not a plot device, then reader and character are both uncomfortable in this shared lie.
Berg says the best thing to do is to write naturally. "Using your own voice, try to think of what you are doing as dictation. Put down onto the paper the words you are hearing in your head -- literally."
For me that means writing in first person. When I begin saying 'he said, she said, and describing scenes with an omniscent voice, the distant widens to a deep chasm dividing me not only from the characters, but from the reader. I even feel isolated and removed from the scene.
Today I rewrote a scene, not a bad scene, but a ho-hum scene from a first person perspective. I chose one of the women in the room as my eyes and ears and let her tell what happened. It surprised me at how stilted some of the descriptions sounded now that I saw the scene through her eyes.
So first step in finding your authentic voice, is finding your narrator. As soon as I could 'see' my narrator, I could put perception, focus, and personality into the scene. It still isn't good.
Now I have fallen into the trap of reportage.
Trust me, anyone who has reviewed very many manuscripts or reviewed books whose authors have paid for the service are familiar with the amateur mistakes. The glaring amateur mistakes. Not so easy to spot is how the writer overcomes this awkward writing. But, just like authenticity, you know it when you see it and can relax and enjoy. Trust builds with an author who writes with 'authority' and 'authenticity.' Maybe that's why we're called: AU-thors!
Writing this bloggy advice, I see that it appears to be leading writers to an attitude of 'be more concerned with each word you write and be careful of reportage and stilted writings and to scrutinize each word placed on the page.'
Just the opposite.
Set the editor aside. Forget what everyone has told you about writing and for this first draft, this first romance with the page, just let the words flow. What I do advocate is getting to know your character so well that she speaks through you. As Berg said, "... dictation."
Getting to know characters may involve writing a long detailed history. Not only the parents' names, but the grandparents, where they were born, raised and which wars they fought in -- personal and militarily. It also means that you know if they are right or left handed, what their birthstone is and if they like having that birthstone. What scars do they have? Inside and out? What makes them stop and admire? Who attracts and repels them?
This also requires putting the editor out with the morning trash. Do NOT. DO NOT invite that editor back in until the first draft is completely written. Send that editor on a trip around the world. And while she's gone write. Write as fast as you can. And while you're writing visit with your characters. Get to know whether they prefer cherry jam to ham sandwiches or what their smile looks like. Get to know who is shy, who is bold, who is angry, who is frightened, who is carrying a heavy burden, keeping a secret, and who is just so happy they could sing.
It isn't only journalists who should be asking who, what, where, when, and why. Every writer, especially fiction writers need to ask. And don't forget how.
Diana Gabaldon (you knew I'd have to insert her in here some way) likes to tell the story of driving her daughter to soccer practice and all the time her mind was on her characters. She sees Jocasta reach for a cut glass goblet and watch her man servant push the glass just an inch so that her fingers close around the glass precisely. It is at that point that Gabaldon has the epiphany that 'Jocasta is blind!' and misses the turn off to soccer practice. Even in her anecdotes about her writing, Gabaldon has great timing and understatement. I admit that some of that was lacking in her latest book -- along with alot of other things I found endearing about her Outlander series. But I digress.
For me, at this moment, writing in first person works. Even if the final version moves back to third person, I will get to know my characters, remove stitled descriptions, and get rid of the barriers between me and the action through my narrator who is now my best bud!

My client had a demure, baby blue, occasional chair (that I wish I took a before picture of) that was so old it actually rocked in every direction when you sat in it. It went from her husband's grandmother's house, to her own bedroom, to her daughter's room, and still couldn't find a comfortable resting place. A little nook in her music room was waiting for seat, so I suggested moving it down there. I had my favorite, and most talented, upholsterer sure up the frame, and we put a BIG, BOLD graphic pattern on it. Now it's the highlight of the space.
Another element to point out here is how small frames don't necessarily need small patterns. We are making a big statement in a small place by using a large scale print in an unexpected way. The best part about it is how the pattern is matched up from the seat back, down the seat, and onto the skirt. Where the pattern couldn't be matched, we simply pleated the corners and gave the eye a distraction; this is why you need a trustworthy upholstered who knows what they're doing (and mine is Olger).
Here is the chair up for inspection in the workroom:
Here it is in the music room:
Here is the footstool I had made to go with it:

The best way to store wine is to place them in a wine rack. This also gives you an overview of your wine collection, making choosing the right bottle for your meal an easy task.
Kærbygård makes exclusive wine racks tailored for your needs. We offer built-in wine racks customized to fit into your home.
Many mistakenly believe that wine racks are only suitable for large cellars, where the racks can be installed from floor to ceiling along the walls. Fortunately, this isn't true and only a few actually have such large basements.
Wine racks can be built anywhere, and their size can be customized according to your needs and the space available. You would be surprised to see what our skilled and experienced craftsmen could do with a small niche or an unused corner in your living room or kitchen.
We will visit your home to take the necessary measurements and discuss your wishes and requirements. Thereafter we will guide you so that you are thoroughly informed about the available options. This allows you to make the right decisions regarding the wood type and design.
Once we have agreed on a solution that suits you, our skilled carpenters will start constructing the wine rack in our workshop. We stay in contact with you throughout the process and you are, of course, welcome to visit our workshop and follow our progress.
A wine rack is cozy and gives a good atmosphere wherever it is located. You could, e.g., consider placing it in the kitchen or near the dining area for inspiration. If this is not possible, you could utilize your utility room to the fullest by placing the wine rack there.

No shortcut to reputation
U.S. conservatives, and their core of evangelical Christian voters, may now have to face up to the question of where we get our morals.
Can we trust Mitt Romney if he is a mormon, and not a "real Christian"? Christianity, along with the other monotheistic religions tells us that only God can see what's in our hearts. Even the self-proclaimed lable of Christian does little to tell us how a person feels or believes. The best we can do is resort to what we've learned works over centuries of development: reputation. A Baptist preacher may wish to slander a popular religion by saying they do not share his faith and therewith imply they do not deserve our trust, but his slander is empty when applied to an individual. To name just one glaring example among so many others, Ted Haggard is a prominent Christian, but judging him on his declaration of faith alone leads us to believe he's a good, reliable, family man. Looking at his reputation gives us a different, more accurate, story of a troubled drug dependant, repressed homosexual.
We know about as much about the Baptist preacher Jefrees.
Conservatives may choose Mr. Romney as their candidate for president in 2012. A good choice, as the middle will have little trouble with his religious views, and, unlike some of their more extreme choices, he may actually be able to win against Obama. The way the field looks today, if the republicans instead select someone else, like Rick Perry or Michelle Bachmann, the middle will likely abandon them, just as they abandoned McCain after his choice of Sarah Palin as running mate. Palin appeals to the evangelical base, but the middle will pick the president.
In order to choose Romney, though, the party will be forced to reconcile their silly assumption, that they can know the heart of a candidate by his religion, with reality. Reputations can be faulty and we can never predict exactly how someone will behave, but reputation is vastly more reliable than simple claims. Actions must speak louder than words; even if politicians hope it's the last thing you will judge them by.

A long while back, I had a food tasting session at Shinkei. What I really loved most was the sashimi (Japanese delicacy consisting of very fresh raw meat or fish sliced into thin pieces) of course!
I'm a huge sucker for salmon because I love the way it feels in my mouth. Such a gross way to explain it, I know. However, salmon lovers would agree with me!
Shinkei is a Japanese ala-carte buffet restaurant located in the heart of Toa Payoh. Unlike the usual buffet of having sushi or dishes via a conveyer belt, at Shinkei, all you have to do is to sit and wait for your dishes to be served to you. The presentation of food is well taken care of and you'll be sure to have Instagram worthy #foodporn pictures!
Thank you Hazel and the Shinkei staff for the warm hospitality! I truly did enjoy stuffing myself!

It's down to five men and five women as the contestants toast to their million dollar fundraising in the last task. Marlee is just beaming as she presents the million dollar check to her charity.
Trump heads to a rooftop to present the challenge. Apparently "industry" is a hard word to read off cue cards. Teams have to create a marketing display in a ten by ten foot clear box for Australia Gold sunscreen and lotion products. LaToya and Mark McGrath are project managers this challenge.
Backbone want to go with a pirate theme to play off the gold in the name and also put a hot chick in the box. NeNe says LaToya has delegated something to everyone except herself. LaToya is waffling and can't make any decisions. Are the women really not going to use their "assets" with Playmate of the Year Hope? Are they this stupid? Yes.
The executives emphasize that Sydney their surfing koala is key to the brand. Lil Jon is put in charge of costumes, props, and Gary; the third item is the toughest of course.
LaToya flat out tells Hope not to be one of the gold bikini girls- she should do accounting instead. Is she insane?! She's not just a regular ol' Playmate, she was the Playmate of the freakin' year. Jeez. At the design/construction place LaToya has no idea what to tell them. The girls buy a koala costume for the box, while the men pass on it saying companies are sensitive to the specifics of their logo and you don't want to get it wrong even just a little bit.
Poor Lil Jon is stuck outside with Gary Busey waiting an hour for the props to be brought down to the truck. Pure torture. The men are making a shelter salvaged from shipwrecked parts as their theme. The women are doing some palm trees and LaToya calls in for 6000 pounds of sand to the disbelief of her teammates.
Morning of the event, LaToya suddenly wants to switch from fun in the sun to a snow theme. NeNe and Hope are all like "when did you come up with this shit?".
Two foot Fred shows up for the men! He needs to be on next year, dude is awesome. The men are really using their celebrity and selling that Australian Gold, chanting and building up the excitement. The women have no real theme, just beach basically with some snow. They are pushing the marketing points though, whereas the men are perhaps a bit off-message.
But Gary has the executives uncomfortably trapped in one spot and pushed Mark McGrath away when he tries to show them the exhibit. Crazy Busey says he will be their suntan lotion spokesman for a reasonable rate…uhmm ok. Finally Mark gets a moment to explain everything to them.
At the Boardroom, the execs say they loved the men's jingle and buzz around the box but didn't like the lack of "live the gold life" slogan and the lack of koala bear. They say the women hit the theme really well but they didn't utilize their team as well and Hope shouldn't have been playing volleyball in a jacket.
Trump rightly calls out LaToya for not using Hope in a bikini. And yes that was clearly part personal because you know The Donald loves his sexy contestants. Trump says the men's out of the box idea might cost them. Don Jr. asks why they didn't use the koala but the men defend it well. The executives were turned off by Gary's pitching to them and overall did not like the pirate theme. Usually the executives are right but in this case they made a huge mistake.
Back in the room NeNe is going the hell off on LaToya despite their win and calling LaToya an old lady who only got by based on her last name (well that's kinda true). In the Boardroom, Mark McGrath thinks he should be fired, the rest of the team thinks Gary needs to go. Meat Loaf tells it like it is, and says Gary is a big time liability. McGrath takes only Busey back. Unfortunately The Donald is judging this one only based on the theme and Mark is fired. But Trump has some VERY strong words for Busey too.
