An American soldier died in a Taliban attack at a military base, which came on the heels of a suicide bombing at a Kabul restaurant that killed 21 civilians. Gwen Ifill talks to Pamela Constable of The Washington Post and Omar Samad, a former Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman, about instability in Afghanistan.
Read the Full Transcript
The Taliban carried out a brazen attack today against a military base in Southern Afghanistan. Using a truck bomb, gunmen stormed the complex and killed an American soldier. That followed an assault Friday that targeted a restaurant frequented by Westerners in Kabul; 21 civilians were killed, 13 of them non-Afghans, in the single deadliest attack against foreign citizens since the war started.
Claiming responsibility, the Taliban said the attack was in retaliation for an airstrike last week against insurgents in the eastern Parwan province. There is little agreement on the genesis of that attack. There were a number of civilian causalities, but there are conflicting reports on how many were killed.
For more on the instability in Afghanistan, we turn to Washington Post reporter Pamela Constable. She recently returned from the country. And Omar Samad, a former Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman who also served as the country's ambassador to France and to Canada.
Welcome to you both.
What does this latest attack, Pam, tell us about how unstable things are right now security-wise in Afghanistan?
PAMELA CONSTABLE, The Washington Post:
I think it tells us, number one, that the Taliban are very deliberate, very precise, very well-organized.
They target places that they know will have high symbolic value, especially to the international community. At a time of great uncertainty about things like the security agreement, about future elections, everybody's very nervous already in the country, both foreigners and Afghans. And I think an attack like this really focuses that fear and those uncertainties and crystallizes a lot of the concerns and, of course, makes them much more personal and much more — much more emotional.
Ambassador Samad, do you see it the same way?
OMAR SAMAD, former Afghan Foreign Ministry Official: I do.
I mean, I think that Afghanistan overall is going through a very difficult period. And there are some very hard questions on the table right now. So the timing of this attack, the target itself, the selection of this target, a soft target, but with high visibility, these are things that they must have taken into account when they decided to send three suicide bombers who created mayhem.
Now, on the other hand, I think the Afghan people have seen such tragedies occur at times in there. And I hope this is not sort of a watershed moment for all of us, including the international presence in Afghanistan. But Afghans are very resilient as well. And I think that they have also demonstrated over the past 24 hours that they came out on the streets, right next door to this — the place where this incident took place.
They demonstrated, they protested, and they said, we will not give up, and we will continue against terrorism.
You talk about the soft target of this particular restaurant. Both of you have spent time there. It's a very popular place.
Pam, tell us about it.
It was really my home away from home on my trip, my many trips to Afghanistan in recent years.
The owner was a wonderful Lebanese businessman, a friend to all of us, not only charming and a genial host, but a truly generous and kind person. And he would never let us pay for dinner because he thought of us as his friends. Every time I went to Afghanistan, I would always have a farewell dinner with my friends at his restaurant. I must have been there, you know, 50 times.
And I always felt that it was my comfort zone. I always felt that it was a place of warmth and civility, and also safety, frankly.
And the owner, of course, is one of the people killed in the attack.
He indeed was killed, yes.
As you — when you think about these soft targets in restaurants like this or places that are high-profile for Westerners, do you think the attack is geared to those places particularly to get that attention, in a way that an attack in Parwan province might not?
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, this is, in my opinion, part of a grand planning, grand design on the part of the Taliban, people who strategize for the Taliban. Remember, this year is a very important year, 2014. This is a year not only of the end of the NATO mission in Afghanistan, including the U.S. mission, as we have known it. It is the year of Afghan elections in just less than three months' time.
It is the year of transitions in so many ways for Afghans, who are uncertain about the future. So this is when the Taliban want to have the greatest impact possible. They are against the BSA, this bilateral security agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan. And President Karzai has made it harder than everyone because he has been reluctant to sign it for his own reasons.
So the Taliban want to send these messages. And I think that they may continue to send these messages. I have to say, 24 hours just after this tragedy in Kabul, we heard that three young Afghans, young men, were killed when the Talibs fired a rocket on a soccer field in Kandahar.
But that is not the example that President Karzai cited, for instance.
No, but President Karzai didn't mention this incident. He mentioned basically this one in Parwan.
Parwan is a complex situation. We have two different versions, as you mentioned earlier, one which says that the Afghans were in the lead, that they were being — that the joint operation was under duress and that they had to call in for air support.
The other says that, well, you know, it was a NATO operation, that there wasn't much coordination and so on and so forth. So, as far as I'm concerned, we have to get to the bottom of this, but we cannot politicize every event that takes place.
You talk about the uncertainty.
You have been there. You both have been there in the last couple of weeks. How much does the political uncertainty, the refusal of signing the agreement, how much does that trickle down to the uncertainty on the ground, the lack — or the sense that people are less safe?
I think it trickles down very much.
I know many Afghans who have already left the country or are planning or trying to leave the country, people who have good jobs, people who were in good positions, not just poor people, but people who had some very strong prospects for success in that country, who are now so genuinely worried about things falling apart, which we all hope won't happen.
But there's so much fear that they will. And I'm not only talking about foreigners. I'm really talking about Afghans here who know their country and know what is at stake. So it's really — it's almost like something in the water that I think has infected us all.
But in order for this withdrawal to work, in order for this agreement to work, even if it were signed, doesn't it depend a lot on Westerners, on foreigners, on these non-governmental organizations who are on the ground, who can feel secure enough to stay? Do you have a sense that they are rethinking their missions?
I'm sure there is always rethink taking place in Afghanistan because of one reason or another.
But this incident obviously is going to make a lot of organizations, international organizations and presence rethink security arrangements. I don't think that the engagement in the mission is going to change much, unless we turn into another Baghdad, for example. And we look at what has happened in Iraq. And God forbid that Kabul becomes another Baghdad at this point.
So, Afghans themselves will do everything possible.
I think the Afghan security forces have again shown that they have the ability and the courage to go after these people and to do what is needed. I think that needs to be worked on. This is why the BSA is so important, because the BSA is the only…
The bilateral security agreement is the only way for the Afghan security forces to continue to develop and grow. And, at the same time, it's the only way to fund Afghanistan for the next few years until it's able to fund itself.
You mentioned a few moments ago that this might be a watershed moment. You both have been in and out of the country, very connected to what is happening on the ground. Does it feel like a watershed moment to you, Pamela?
It does, but maybe that's because I'm too close to it and it's only just happened. And, you know, friends of mine were killed, and that always makes you feel particularly vulnerable.
I hope it's not. But many people I have talked to over the past two or three days feel as if it may never be the same for them again.
I also hope it's not.
I think that Afghans will overcome it. It is the international community that has to realize that there is much more at stake in Afghanistan, and that tragedies such as at these that — where our friends die and people we know need to be put in context. And I hope that's what they will do.
Omar Samad, Pamela Constable, thank you both very much.
And my condolences to you for the loss of your friends.
Thank you very much.

Biography of Alexander the Great
Anish Chandy
Sep 29, 2018
Alexander the Great was motivated by a need to be divine. He was the King who ruled over more land than any other ruler in the world. He died at the age of 33.
Alexandros III Philippou Makedonon (Alexander the Great, Alexander III of Macedon) (356-323 BCE.), King of Macedonia, was born in late July 356 BCE in Pella, Macedonia.
He was unquestionably one of the greatest military geniuses in human history, and conquered much of what was then the civilized world, driven by his divine ambition of the world conquest and the creation of a universal world monarchy. He had tremendous impulsive energy and a fervid imagination.
Alexander had a tremendous desire to secure for himself a place in the pantheon of Gods. The cost of his successes all over the world was tremendous, but he did not seem to mind it as long as his goals were being achieved.
Even as a young boy, he was fearless and strong. At the age of twelve, he tamed the beautiful and spirited Bucephalus ("ox-head" in Greek), a horse that no one else could ride. He knew the
by heart. He loved Homer, and is known to have always slept with a copy of the
under his pillow. His first teacher was Leonidas, a relative of Olympia's.
Leonidas instilled in Alexander an ascetic nature for which he became famous during his future campaigns. Leonidas was replaced with Lysimachus, who taught Prince Alexander to play the lyre and to appreciate the arts.
In 343 BCE, Aristotle came to Pella at Philip's bidding to take up the education of his son Alexander from age 13 to 16. Aristotle taught him at the Mieza temple.
Alexander's first brush with combat came during Philip's expedition against Byzantium in 340 BCE. Alexander, then sixteen years old, was left in Macedonia in charge of the royal seal. But the constantly restless prince perceived this as an opportunity to show his battle skills.
He managed to subjugate the rebellious Maedi, a Thracian tribe. Defeating a tribe is admirable, but it cannot be compared to full-fledged warfare.
At the battle of Chaeronea, Philip defeated the allied Greek states of the Sacred Band of Thebes, in September 338 BCE. An 18-year-old Alexander was leading the left wing of Philip's cavalry. He demonstrated personal valor in breaking the Band of States.
In 336 BCE, Philip was suddenly assassinated, before he was able to depart for the marriage celebration of his daughter at Aegae. The death of Philip is shrouded in mystery; there is a hint of suspicion that Alexander could have been one of the perpetrators.
Soon after his father's death, Alexander reached Thessaly in seven days and Boeotia five days later. By a forced march, he took the Thebans completely by surprise, and in a few days, the city was his.
The march for glory was well and truly on. He started with blitz campaigns against the Triballi and Ilyrians, which took him across the Danube. His army consisted of 30,000 foot soldiers and over 5,000 cavalry. This army had an excellent mixture of arms―the lightly armed Cretan and Macedonian archers.
The Thracians, and the Agrianian javelin men; the striking force was the cavalry, and the core of the army was the infantry phalanx, 9,000 strong, armed with shields and five and one-half meter long spears, the sarises, and the 3,000 men of the royal troops, the hypaspists.
Another positive outcome of Alexander's hegemonistic tendencies was that it created an economically and culturally homogenous single market extending from Gibraltar to the Punjab, open to trade, social and cultural exchange.
There was a common thread that was visible in civilization, and Greek became the lingua franca of its time. The Roman Empire, the spread of Christianity as a world religion, and the thousand years of Byzantine rule were all in a way the consequences of his conquests.
One of the most important facts about Alexander, that is often overlooked, is that he died at the age of 32. He did not have the luxury of living for a long time. It is difficult to even imagine the extent to which he would have expanded his empire had he lived longer.
Alexander was in Babylon to overlook the irrigation of the Euphrates, this was also coupled with a grand feast in honor of Nearchus's departure for Arabia and the commemoration of the death of Heracles.
He drank a huge beaker of unmixed wine in a single gulp. This led to a shooting pain in the liver. It is possible that it exacerbated an existing condition. It was during sunset on of 10th of June, 323 BCE, in the Palace of Nabukodonossor, Babylon, that Alexander died.

Blazing skies: California meteor hunters find two new fragments
The Associated Press
NOVATO, Calif. (AP) — Meteor hunters say they have found two more remnants of the streaking fireball that lit up California skies last month.
The latest find — reported on Thursday — was also in the San Francisco Bay area city of Novato and brings the total number of chunks of rock that fell from the Oct. 17 meteor explosion to four. The meteorites are known as metal chondrites because they contain microscopic metal particles called chondrules.
The exploding streak was especially visible over the San Francisco Bay Area and other parts of Northern California, with reports of a bright fireball and loud boom from Santa Cruz County to Mendocino County.
Warm temperatures and cloud-free skies made the bright light more visible.

8 Fermented Foods You Should Be Eating
One comment
Judy and I took a trip to Peru in February 2009 and came back with a love for Peruvian food. According to Wikipedia, under Peruvian Cuisine, at a prestigious meeting of gastronomes in Madrid in 2006, Lima was named the "Gastronomic Capital of the Americas." Over 2,000 varieties of potato are grown in Peru, with many different colors. Many Peruvian dishes feature potatoes, and one of my favorites is causa. Causa is mashed potatoes mixed with lemon/lime, oil, mayonaise, aji chilis and other ingrediants to add variety, such as chicken and avocado. At the best restaurant we ate at in Peru, Las Brujas de Cachiche, in the Mira Flores area of Lima, we had a buffet which included two types of causa. The best was made with green potatoes and had an octopus filling. It was our favorite dish. The other causa, also good, was made with yellow potatoes. A picture is below. Note, they are partially covered because they are on a dish with other buffet items.

Personal Injury
An accident of any nature can be very traumatic. If injured, the recovery process can be long and frustrating. Sometimes the consequences can be permanent. We advise all of our personal injury clients to keep a daily diary, beginning with the day of the accident, if possible. The client should carefully record, in the diary, everything experienced from day to day as a consequence of the accident — including doctor visits, medical treatments, medications, disabilities and complications with the various aspects of daily life, and how he or she feels (hurts) as the recovery process progresses. Such a diary can prove to be the best tool we can utilize in our efforts to achieve good results for our clients. Prior to retaining counsel, we strongly advise injured individuals against giving any written or recorded statements, although it is important to cooperate with law enforcement officials and your own insurance company. As needed to provide quality legal services to our clients in a competent and professional manner, we consult and work with highly respected personal injury lawyers, at no additional cost to our clients. Typically, our co-counsel role has proven to be very beneficial to our clients.

Topic: Illustrate the meaning of "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" (without using the actual phrase or literal example). (01/03/08)
- TITLE: Puckered Lips
By Yvonne Blake
"I thee her," lisped little Joshua, as he pulled his thumb out of his mouth. "Withabeth ith under da coath." He pointed to the row of coats near the kitchen door.
Sure enough, I saw movement among the crowded jackets. A pair of stocking feet shuffled amid the jumble of boots and sneakers. I parted a hooded sweatshirt and raincoat to find two five-year-old pigtails, two blue eyes, and two puckered lips that looked a little shinier than usual.
"Elizabeth Ann, what are you doing under there?"
"Josh, told on me!"
"I saw you. Why didn't you answer me? I wanted you to help me."
She held her arms behind her back.
"What do you have in your hands?"
She reluctantly placed a pink and white chapstick tube in my outstretched palm.
"Where did you get this?"
"Over at Tammy's house... under her bed."
"Elizabeth! Did she give it to you?"
"Mama, she has so many, she won't even know it's gone. I don't have any!"
Spending money on Barbie chapstick was definitely a luxury in our household. Every dollar went toward groceries and clothes and doctor bills.
"You can always use my chapstick; this is Tammy's."
"Tammy gets whatever she wants because she doesn't have any little brothers or sisters. I wish I was Tammy!"
I cringed at the words! Yes, with two younger siblings and another one on the way, Elizabeth certainly knew what it meant to share her toys, her room, and her mother's attention. Her cousin Tammy had a whole room of toys, Cabbage Patch dolls, dress-up clothes, trikes, games, and jewelry.
I sighed. Elizabeth was right. Tammy wouldn't miss it. She had everything
... everything but someone to play with, someone to take turns with, someone to teach her patience and longsuffering. "Lord, give me wisdom."
"Elizabeth, there are more important things than toys and jewelry and chapsticks. It's wrong to take something that isn't yours. It's stealing. It's sin."
Her clear blue eyes filled with shame and tears and dread of a punishment. "Mama...no..."
"You need to take this back to Tammy and Aunt Debbie and tell them that you are sorry."
"No, Mama! Can't you just give me a spanking? I'll put it back when I play over there again."
Now my eyes were filling with tears, too, as I picked up the phone. "Debbie?...Elizabeth has something she has to tell Tammy. Will you be home?... She'll be over in a few minutes....Also, would you call me back?...Yes... Thanks...Bye."
"Mama, do I have to say anything?"
"Yes, you need to apologize."
I stood at the kitchen door and watched my little girl trudging, scuffling next door to her cousin's house. I'm sure that driveway looked a mile long. She turned and looked back, silently pleading with me. She wiped the steady trickle on her cheeks.
"Go," I insisted, blinking away my own tears.
In a few minutes, the phone rang.
"Hello, Debbie....Yes, that's good....No... Thank you, but I don't want her to have it...She needs to learn this... Thank you...Bye."
Soon I heard running feet, happy feet, relieved feet pattering down the driveway and up the back steps.
"I did it, Mama!"
I held her close. "I love you, but what you did was wrong, a sin against God. You need to tell Him that you are sorry, too."
Again those blue eyes swam, and she buried her face in my breast. "Oh, Mama, I'm sorry!"
"I know, but you need to tell God."
With a sniff and a swallow, she clasped her hands together and bowed her head. "Dear God, I'm sorry I took Tammy's chapstick. I won't ever, ever, EVER do it again! Amen." She lifted her face to me and smiled.
"Now, I need somebody to help me make cookies."
"I will!"
"Can I make cookieth, too?" asked Joshua, climbing on the stool.
"You can stir first," said Elizabeth, as she handed him the wooden spoon.

The element iodine is more prevalent in the sea than on land. In 1811, French chemist Berenard Courtois was adding sulfuric acid to the ash he got from burning seaweed. Too much sulfuric acid resulted in a violet vapor that condensed into dark crystals. Courtois distributed samples of these crystals for testing, and he is credited with discovering iodine.
Although iodine is present in seawater and sea life, other sources are more economical. Iodine is extracted from underground brine reservoirs found above natural gas fields in the United States and Japan. The largest producing source of iodine, however, is the mineral deposits of the Atacama Desert in Chile (right). Chile produced 50% of the world's iodine in 2017, which total was estimated to be about 40,000 tonnes.
Properties and Uses
Iodine forms dark blue crystals that evaporate easily into a violet gas. Iodine behaves similarly to the elements above it in the periodic table, bromine, chlorine, and fluorine, although it is not as reactive. Many iodine compounds dissolve in water, which is why it is most abundant in the oceans.
Iodine is most significant for its uses in medicine and biology. Tincture of iodine, a solution of it in alcohol, is familiar as a disinfectant.
In the human body, iodine is needed by the thyroid, and lack of iodine causes the thyroid to swell. Table salt normally contains a bit of potassium iodide for this reason. One radioactive isotope of iodine (I131) is a common component of nuclear fallout that can concentrate in the thyroid. This can be forestalled by taking potassium iodide pills to crowd out the unwanted element.
Other isotopes of iodine are useful in medicine. As a rather heavy element that is safe in the body, iodine is good for enhancing contrast in x-ray images. A short-lived isotope introduced to the bloodstream will enhance the veins and arteries just long enough for imaging.

I concur with the feeling with some of fellow members that if we feel that if the person (student) has done some work on his/her own and just need some direction and guidance to proceed then … it is OK to help. I like to provide some generic basic model on which the student can explore. I use this type of approach at work to guide junior members of our team.
Thanks. SbElectric
We try to remove all homework type questions but some get thru. You can always report objectionable content. My best advice is to just not respond.
If you show them the answer what have they learned? Show them where to start looking and he will remember the next time. A gentle nudge in the right dirrection should do. Or you can do his home work for them.. Which is why they call it home work. It is supposed to start them thinking.. My 2 cents

Research Publication-Wildlife habitat suitability analysis around Madihan forest, district Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh
Dr. Laxmi Goparaju, Mr. Firoz Ahmad and Mr. Debadityo Sinha of VENHF have authored a research paper titled 'Wildlife habitat suitability analysis around Madihan forest, Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh, India: a Geospatial approach' in the international journal 'Eurasian Journal of Forest Science'. The open access article can be accessed on the journal's website here. An excerpt from the abstract and the full paper is also reproduced below:
The tropical dry deciduous forests of Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh (state) in India are facing severe threat from agricultural expansion, increased urbanization, infrastructure development and unsustainable use of forest produce. As a result the forests are now fragmented and wildlife habitat is vanishing. Dwindling numbers of wild animal species has become a cause of concern.
The present study has analyzed satellite remote sensing data of Landsat OLI (2013) in conjunction with GIS and support of GPS to identify suitable habitat for wild animals. Various thematic maps like land use/land cover, forest cover type, lakes, roads and slope data were prepared in support of the objective of the paper. The weighted overlay method was used for integration of the thematic layers for identification of potential habitat and corridors for wild life movement. Most suitable (2.54%), moderately suitable (12.0%) and least suitable (16.20%) areas were delineated and represented in a map. Highly suitable habitat was found at Dadri and Kotwa forest. Moderately suitable habitat was found in Darhi Ram forests. Least suitable areas were found in the outer fringes of Kotwa, Dadri, Darhi Ram and Sarson forests.
We congratulate the authors.

CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox have named Marco Paddy as Special Assistant to the General Manager – International Operations.
Paddy, 47, spent the last five seasons as Director of Latin America Operations with the Toronto Blue Jays and will now direct Chicago's Latin American scouting efforts, with an emphasis on international signings.
Among Toronto's international signings during his tenure were pitcher Henderson Alvarez, a two-time All-Star Futures Game participant who made his major-league debut in 2011, infielder Adeiny Hechavarria, a former member of the Cuban Junior National Team, pitcher Roberto Osuna, nephew of former White Sox pitcher Antonio Osuna, and catcher Carlos Perez, who was ranked by Baseball America as the No. 8 Prospect in the Blue Jays organization prior to last season.
Prior to joining Toronto, Paddy spent 14 seasons with the Atlanta Braves, serving as an area scout (1993-2002), assistant director of player development (2002-03) and director of Latin America operations (2004-06).
Paddy, a native of Panama, was selected by Atlanta in the 56th round of the 1988 amateur draft and played one year in the Braves farm system. Following his lone professional season, Paddy served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for his alma matter, Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.

Passive Voice Day 2012
It has again been decided that April 27th will be passive voice day. Fun will be had by everybody as the passive voice is used for tweets, blogs, and casual conversation. The active voice will be frowned upon. The hashtag #passivevoiceday should be used when passive voice is used in social media, so the fun can be shared by all.
Why is this being done? Simple. It's considered fun. No point is being made. It's just enjoyed when things are taken to an absurd extreme.
It is hoped we will be joined by you, and that the word will be spread to everybody known.

This day raises the challenge level significantly for E-Prime users, though it remains possible.
(As opposed to: E-Prime users find this challenging, but possible.)
2012-04-26 at 0:36
I hope you're aware that there isn't a single example of the passive voice in your response. "This raises the challenge" is indeed active voice.
2012-04-26 at 16:33
Except for "It has again been decided"…..
2012-04-26 at 8:52
"This day raises the possibility" is in the active voice. You might want to visit language log to learn the difference.
2012-04-27 at 13:19
It is going to be passive voice day.

2012-04-25 at 18:04
Should that be "April 27th will be recognized/observed as passive voice day"? Is "will be" passive all by its lonesome?
2012-04-25 at 18:07
Geoff Pullum praised your grammatical knowledge at .
2012-04-25 at 19:05
The author of the above comment seems to have gotten confused. "This day raises the challenge level…" and "…it remains possible." both exemplify active voice. Stuffy, yes. Passive, no. The only way the passive in E' can get used is if the colloquial substitution of "to get" for "to be" gets resorted to. Which would get objected to by many people.
2012-04-25 at 22:01
Literal passive voice gets used rarely in E-Prime by nature (only when sentences get literally translated via substitution of another word for "to be"). Nonetheless, passive-feeling sentences remain common in simplistic usage, and awkwardness increases greatly with the use of such sentences. Subjects commonly appear in such sentences near the middle or end, and objects near the beginning. Indirection gets applied to verbs, and nounification of verbs occurs frequently. Painful reading ensues.
(Self-describing example, intentionally bad.)
2012-04-25 at 19:42
Although OP has been greatly lauded by Language Log, continuing ignorance about the definition of "passive" was immediatedly displayed in the comments. Sadly, no actual passive clauses were used by the first commenter (if "as opposed to" is excepted).
2012-04-25 at 19:48
My colleagues will be alerted!
2012-04-25 at 19:56
No passive voice has been provided by the first comment by Anonymous. "This day" is the subject, "raises the challenge level" is the predicate, and "for E-Prime users" just adds additional info.
As has been noted by Language Log bloggers, "passive voice" is too often used to refer to a sentence that obscures agency but is actually in the active voice. "Shots were fired" and "mistakes were made" are in passive voice AND refuse to tell you who did something. "Shots rang out" and "mistakes arose" are active and agentless.
2012-04-25 at 22:13
Readers of these comments, particularly language pedants, would get value out of reading http://www.asiteaboutnothing.net/w_eprime-passive-voice.html . Clearer English gets written not just when passive voice gets eliminated, but also when passive, agentless sentences get minimized. Thus, those that get enjoyment out of grammatical constructs getting used universally that would preferably get eliminated, would get value out of slightly broader interpretations of "passive" which can get abused on this day. Nonetheless, those getting annoyed by non-literal interpretations of "passive" may get joy from this paragraph, through which the point has hopefully gotten thoroughly proven. (And in the last sentence, the use of split infinitives in E-Prime has likewise gotten demonstrated.)
2012-04-26 at 13:02
Well, Anonymous, the difference between "passive voice" and "Passive, agentless sentences" (as they are labelled by you) must be maintained, especially as no fault is necessarily to be found in the use of the passive voice. Neither clarity nor content is sacrificed in the passive, and beautiful sentences can be constructed this way, too!
2012-04-26 at 13:32
I'm lost. You mix a bunch of passives like "get written" and "get eliminated" with non-passive uses of the word "get" like "get value" and "get enjoyment." The only linguistic through line to your comment is the repeated use of the word "get."
It also doesn't adhere to a broader definition of "passive" either. "Readers of these comments, particularly language pedants, would get value out of…" isn't agentless at all.
2012-04-26 at 16:20
'Get' is used repeatedly in a manner by which my ear is offended, and no split infinitive is contained in the final sentence.
2012-04-27 at 11:16
OK, the page in that link makes a distinction (oops! I meant "A distinction is made on that page…") between the "passive voice" and some vaguely defined "passive sentence." Shawnm's post explicitly discusses the passive voice, making no mention of any "passive sentence." So what relevance do your "passive sentences" have to this discussion? What you dismiss as the work of pedants is what I call understanding what is being discussed.
2012-04-27 at 9:03
You don't have to think e-prime is a good idea (I do not) but folks might want to at least look it up before accusing Anonymous of not getting the passive.
2012-04-26 at 6:40
Great laughs were had (by me) when this post was stumbled upon (again by me)!
2012-04-26 at 15:05
I will be sending copies of this email to all my passive-language friends. We will discuss the topic and maybe we will find something about the content that might be worth participating in on this date. We will see.

It is believed by many that students are not helped by grammar instruction, but style advice is often ignored when it is presented without a framework for interpretation. Students are confused when only prescriptive rules are taught, because they haven't been given any instruction on grammar as a system. Without such a framework, even the useful prescriptive rules are blindly and haphazardly followed, students are frustrated, and poor writing is produced.
When grammar knowledge is systematically presented, students' metalinguistic knowledge is raised. Subsequently, their writing is often improved, since the style advice can then be processed.
Your contribution this issue is greatly appreciated. Students shouldn't be made to feel inferior for something that has never been properly taught.

My curiosity was piqued by this question: May unaccusative constructions be used today? That is, can the agent position be removed not by morphology, but by its own optionality? I would also be pleased if some guidance could be given to us on the use of the dative alternation. I am also disturbed by experiencer verbs in this context.

Our Assignment: Tell the Williamsburg story through photography
Our time frame: 48 hours
Our instructors: Jennifer Davidson and Krista Rossow from National Geographic
Day One began at o' dark hundred as our group of four met our instructors to begin our first step—capturing Colonial Williamsburg at sunrise. As luck would have it, there was a lovely mist complimented by a brightening sky. We photographed cannons and buildings, ultimately settling on the Courthouse area. Each shot was met with "Yes, but maybe try this next time." 224 shots later, the sun was up and we moved to our next location.
This time we were allowed to view Williamsburg from the cupola of the Governor's Palace. Our lovely hostess, Whitney Thornberry Austin, served as tour guide and model as we captured her opening the Palace and viewing the Green below.
Fortified by a quick coffee at Aroma's we headed for the Fife & Drum building to understand this important program. Stewart Pittman took us through the history and explained the rigorous steps the current Corps follows. All this, while cameras clicked away!!!
As luck would have it, we walked out to discover both Liberty and Thomas Jefferson headed toward the Stables. The Coach & Livestock department granted us special access to the tack room and the Rare Breed chickens. Best of all, we were allowed to sit in two of the most famous carriages and imagine what Queen Elizabeth and other famous dignitaries must have thought as they were driven through the Historic Area.
The Costume Design Center was next. After viewing amazing costumes and accessories, we were finally allowed to stop and regroup—photos were reviewed and critiqued. During this part of the process, NO Editing is allowed. It is important to see the photos as it happened—not as you wish it had!!
Finally, we headed to rainy Jamestown to capture the sunset. What a wonderful first day.
Day Two we photographed the Farmer's Market being set up in Merchants Square. Our next assignment was to spend a minimum of 30 minutes in a house and/or a trade. Our instructions were not to use our cameras for the first five minutes as we were to survey and decide what might best tell the story. It is tough to not immediately point and shoot as we so often do. But wait, I did. And rewarded, I was.
Jenny Lynn offered to build a cup for me from scratch as I watched her work in the Tinsmith Shop at Anderson Armoury. What an amazing process to see the tin cut, molded, hammered, and soldered. Best of all, I left with my own cup—a treasure for years to come.
After a photo critique, we practiced panning shots as the various carriages drove past in preparation for the end of day program behind the Courthouse. The final challenge was yet to come.
We were allowed to photograph the dress rehearsal of a Colonial Ball at the Palace. A challenge indeed as there was movement and limited lighting. The amazing dancers executed their steps as we crouched and stood in various places and photographed in burst mode in hopes of a good capture.
All too soon, our 48 hours were up. Jennifer and Krista bid us farewell until next year. We gave each other final hugs and headed our separate ways, home. What remains is more than 1,000 images conveying the magic of Williamsburg. I will be occupied for quite some time as I sort through my photos. With each image, I'm reminded of the treasure that is ours—to relive the glory that was the 18th-century through the magic of Colonial Williamsburg.
Cindy Griffith McEnery is a Raleigh based photographer who travels to Williamsburg every chance she gets. She has been visiting the colonial capital since she was a child and is proud to have introduced both her children and her husband to this special place. She is especially proud of her new role as Mother of the First Lady. As such, she particularly enjoys photographing her daughter, Katharine, as she portrays Martha Washington! When Katharine is not around, she likes to aim the camera toward her son-in-law, Stewart Pittman, who directs the Fifes and Drums Program.
A retired Client Executive, from IBM, Cindy holds degrees in history from Meredith College and Wake Forest University. She is happiest when she can share the magic of Williamsburg with others through the lens of her camera!

Hello! I've just had my first examination session. My last exam was aesthetic (how Tumblr is that? haha) and this is the only subject left with no grade yet. The rest I passed, which means I can relax now. 18 days of free time sounds almost like too much silence. But I'm planning on adopting some furry friends soon, so I'm pretty excited for now. I will let you know when I take them home!
My today's outfit is pretty simple and cosy. I personally think burgundy red color is always a good and classy option. Also adding just a bold lipstick and necklace makes even casual clothes look nice.

Battle of Minisink
The Battle of Minisink was a battle of the American Revolutionary War fought at Minisink Ford, New York, on July 22, 1779. It was the only major skirmish of the Revolutionary War fought in the northern Delaware Valley. The battle was a decisive British victory, as the colonial militia was hastily assembled, ill-equipped, and inexperienced.
Brant's raid[edit]
Although British forces were largely concentrated on Manhattan Island, Joseph Brant, a Mohawk war chief and a Captain in the British Army, was sent along with his Brant's Volunteers on a quest for provisions, to gather intelligence on the Delaware in the vicinity of Minisink, and to disrupt the upcoming American Sullivan Campaign.
In July 1779, he received word that Kazimierz Pulaski's forces had moved into Pennsylvania, leaving much of the Delaware Valley undefended. Brant led his force of Loyalists and Iroquois raiders through the valley, with the goal of seizing supplies and demoralizing the colonists.[1] With Brant's force of 60 tribesmen and 27 Tories disguised[2] as Indians in pursuit, the settlers were forced to flee to more populated areas. On July 20, he reached Peenpack, which he attacked immediately. Brant ordered that "they should not kill any women or children" or Loyalists and to take prisoner any who surrendered. His raid was a crushing success and, leaving Fort Decker and the settlement in ruins, Brant and his force continued north along the Delaware River.[3]
Battle of Minisink[edit]
Later that day, riders from Peenpack reached the village of Goshen, telling of Brant's raid and the destruction of the town. A militia formed immediately, under the reluctant command of Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Tusten. Tusten was strongly opposed to pursuing the raiders, as he knew they would be no match for the British and Iroquois soldiers, and he suggested waiting for reinforcements from the Continental Army. However, the majority of the public and the militia underestimated the fighting ability of the Iroquois and demanded immediate retribution. Outvoted, Tusten agreed to set out the following morning. They met up with elements of the Fourth Orange County Regiment ordered from Warwick by George Washington and led by Colonel John Hathorn. Colonel Hathorn assumed command and marched for the Delaware with a force of about 120 minutemen.[4]
On the morning of July 22, the militia moved into position in the hills above the Delaware River, intending to ambush Brant's forces who were crossing at Minisink Ford. Hathorn split them into a group of skirmishers and two units comprising the main force. Before the ambush was set, however, Captain Bezaleel Tyler III of the militia, an experienced Indian fighter, fired at an Indian scout in Brant's party. This alerted Brant to the trap, and he quickly outflanked the two groups of colonials, many of whom fled.[4] Separated from the main unit and with his forces scattered, Hathorn was unable to regroup his men for a counterattack. Some of his men were forced to retreat, leaving the rest of the militia surrounded and outnumbered.[4] After several hours of continuous volleys, insufficient ammunition and close quarters caused the battle to devolve into hand-to-hand combat, at which the Iroquois excelled. At least 48 militiamen were killed, including Tusten himself. Brant's men gave no quarter to the wounded and captured, killing and scalping over 40 of them. One prisoner, Captain John Wood, was spared because Brant mistakenly believed him to be a fellow Mason.[5] Brant's force, on the other hand, is believed to have lost only about seven men.[6] Brant wrote of his casualties that three were killed and of the 10 wounded, 4 were dangerously wounded and possibly could not survive. Although badly wounded, Hathorn survived, returning to Warwick to write his report of the loss to his superiors.
After the battle, Brant and his men forded the Delaware and continued back to the ruins of Oquaga.[7] The raid failed to disrupt the Sullivan Campaign and three weeks later, the Continental Army sent 3,000 troops into upstate New York, destroying every Iroquois village in their path. Brant finally met his defeat in late August at the Battle of Newtown.
The people of the Precinct of Goshen (which preceded the forming of the Towns of Orange County) were unable to bury their dead for 43 years, as the battlefield was too distant and the way too dangerous. Some of the soldiers' widows attempted the trip, but were forced to turn back. In 1822, a committee was formed to travel to the battlefield and comb the area for remains. The few bones recovered were buried in a mass grave, first in Barryville and later moved to the village of Goshen.[3] A stone obelisk was erected for the centennial of the battle, engraved with the names of the dead.[8]
In 1847, a burial was discovered in Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania that is believed to be the remains of a casualty of the Battle of Minisink. The site now serves as a memorial tomb for unknown Revolutionary War soldiers.[9]
Today, the site is Minisink Battleground County Park in Sullivan County a couple of miles north of the Hamlet of Barryville near the Roebling Bridge. There are no man-made structures contemporary to the battle, but the park contains several trails, monuments, picnic areas, and a visitors' center.

I'm back from Budapest from a recording for a new EMI/KPM Trailer album. For this album we first have been to Riga
America's got Talent with my music…
Again I had the pleasure to write some tracks for an album released and produced by IMAGEM Music.
I had the pleasure to contribute 5 epic action tracks to Fired Earth's album "Indestructible".
After feeling deeply honored that my track "The Cloudmaker", published by IMAGEM Production Music, had been nominated for the Library Music Awards 2014 in London
What a great recording 🙂 Two weeks ago I made a short trip to Budapest to record strings and brass for a new IMAGEM album. Again the recordings took place in the TomTom studios. The players did a great job performing my tracks (and the tracks of the other composers as well). This time I […]
I'm very proud to have my track "He's the Man" in the first featurette for Disney's/Marvel's "Captain America – The Winter Soldier".

Actually I expected another track with another trailer during the breaks of the superbowl 2014.

/ Armani
Bob Wilson - Guggenheim Bilbao
Our role in this project is that of the re-adaptation, development and execution of the exhibition that Bob Wilson designed in New York based on the work of Giorgio Armani. For 14 years, this reinvention has held the record for visits to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
On this occasion the challenge consisted of materialising any idea, always in line with Wilson's criteria. We achieved this thanks to our capacity for interdisciplinary work, collaborating with professionals from all types of fields and with significant experimentation with materials of high technical complexity.

Every year the debate rages about the ethics, safety and value in general of hurdle and steeple chase racing.
My memories may be somewhat romanticised by the passage of time but my recollections of my early days watching jumps racing from the mid 90's were of races with fairly regular falls, but horse fatalities weren't that common. Please keep in mind, this is from memory, I have no statistics to back this up.
Jumps races were longer and the jumps were bigger, the horses were a different type and it would have been very rare indeed for a steeple chaser to win a flat race. Occasionally a hurdler would get up in a flat race but that was by no means common either. The big races like Grand Nationals and Grand Annuals were spectacular, thrilling events won by horses that could stay all day and stay on their feet for the duration of the races. The horses competing in the feature races were older horses in their second or subsequent seasons of jumping following a sometimes moderate, but usually extensive career in flat racing.
Then followed a period of good natured but flawed attempts to make jumping safer. The measures put in place included reducing the distance of races and changing the configuration of the obstacles so that they were smaller and softer. The old slow stayers and clever jumpers who could win a Grand National Steeple like my old favourite Crafty Dancer could no longer keep up with four or five year olds straight out of flat racing brushing through the new jumps over shorter distances. Unfortunately, the effect of a horse making a mistake at a jump at high speed, even a smaller jump, could be devastating.
My recollection of this period was of carnage. I remember the Grand National Hurdle at Flemington in 2008 when only 4 of the 13 runners completed the course. Falls became more common and they were more often deadly.
I can't help thinking that if the changes made in this period were made with greater consultation with the racing fraternity rather than the apparent appeasement of the animal liberationists, many horses could have been saved.
More recently, stocks of jumping horses became depleted as fewer owners and trainers wanted to commit to a long jumping preparation when there were so many fewer jumps races and at any time the sport could have been outlawed. Again this weakened races and meant that unseasoned jumpers progressed to the Nationals and other endurance events before they were ready with obvious consequences.
The support from Government and the racing industry starting last season were a great boost for the sport. The current jumps seem to be doing the trick and the horses appear to be showing them much more respect. The benefits will be seen in the flow on effect this season with a larger pool of horses eligible to race over the sticks and jockeys with more jumps rides under their belts. There are some genuine stars emerging in the jumping ranks, horses, jockeys and trainers alike who can take the sport to a new level.
I'm hoping for a successful and safe jumping season, it hasn't been a great start with a death in the first steeple chase in Melbourne this year and two deaths in the Grand National at Aintree. Let's hope they can turn it around and the Warrnambool carnival can strike back after last year's events.
Are the 'up and overs' worth keeping?

Steven Covey wrote about the Time Matrix in his book 7 Habits. I've studied and worked with Time Management tools for several years. So I am going to share some of my own insights to this Matrix I started talking about last week.
Currently my life is very stressful. There needs to be an escape. Quadrant IV is the place to go. Talking on the phone with friends, Games, TV, Movies. Basically vegging out. Now you don't want to spend a lot of time in Quadrant IV, you lose productivity. Some time in Quadrant IV can be beneficial.
This year I was able to take a vacation. The first time in several years. The vacation was built in quadrant II, planning and execution. July 4, 2012 found me at a lake with my In-Laws. A family member had a boat, and took the kids out, then took all the moms and girls out, then he came in and took the guys out. We started off wave jumping, flipping the nephews off the inner-tubes. Then we pulled into a cove threw out the anchor and shut the boat down. Everyone had on life jackets and we jumped into the lake and floated. That was it, just floating around the boat in a cove. For me it was relaxing and a nice escape from the demands I face daily.
We enjoyed a swim, returned home and reentered the daily grind, but the trip away was great. I returned home recharged and ready to get back to work. Time in Quadrant IV can be beneficial, but too much time in the quadrant will create more urgent items that need attention and build stress into your life.
My sons enjoy playing computer games, but I have to watch how much time they spend playing, because they can get lost in cyberspace resulting in poor grades, and weakened social and family relationships.
So quadrant IV is a fun place to be, but don't spend too much time here. Productivity and relationships will suffer if too much time is spent with non important items. Take a look at where your free time is spent. Is it building relationships and bringing fulfillment to your life? Does it help relieve stress? Or does it create more stress because of missed opportunities?

lyrically close the curtain on me twice
and i'm hurting me
it's nice when the family leaves, when the family bleeds
when i'm washing my hands of calamity
call me Mr. Philanthropy
captain catastrophe, Los Angeles redacted
Japan had me at the factory
no, when i was 17
no, when i was unclean
it shows me that the powers have needed
the ones that couldn't read it
feed the fires that burn ever at night
brief respite
from words that are meaningless, the answer couldn't free me
but i know the worth inside, the earth it flies freely now
do you see me now God
now that the love has gone cold, now that the wonders you behold
have turned the hourglass inside there
inside where, it's cold and i know the time has come
to bring the one
the only dust, the hellish lust and the King, he's what?
an animal?
you cannot have the language though
you will not sow the seeds of doubt
the realm says no, yeah i would know
and i'm wondering where the grief givers go
fetch me the water, call me the father
lure me to the hot gates of hell
feed me a fortune that no teller could spell
please, no
i am the one the truth finds
i serve the Goddess and she lives blind
in the rust, in the trees, the dust, it bleeds
slowly now do you see the meaning that breathes me
the leaves and the kings meet
the oceans that parted, the dance that has started
innumerable objects fall down from the ceiling
the cosmic conundrum that has me reeling
it has me feeling, the noise inside
the sun will guide
and while we are out wandering
the men lie there, deceiving
plans fail, and cities fall, the love fades
we had it all
no abrupt endings to the passage of time
no dark tunnels that end with a white lime
fuck dying
you sit there wondering where to cut lines
where to end
nowhere, no rush, earth mends
no time, hush hush
and all i wanted was a toothbrush
A Past Life
lyrically close the curtain on me twice

The rabbids have had enough of losing to Rayman, but going home may cause more mayhem than staying. You see, they've decided that the best way to leave Earth is to build a tower of rubbish all the way to the moon (not that they're certain that's where they came from).
Playing as the maniacal rabbit creatures you tour each level in a shopping trolley collecting anything that's not tied down and a lot that isn't: from a chest of drawers to a runaway cow. Many items give you special abilities, like a skyscraper chase in a giant bubble and an aircraft jet engine that lets you suck up even more objects.
With the rabbids' trademark humour still intact (your basic attack scares the clothes off humans, which you can then collect as well) and some of the best cartoon style graphics on the Wii this is a clever evolution from the old mini-game collections.
Game Features
- The rabbids have landed: The rabbids return in their first all action comedy adventure, with a very peculiar mission to the moon.
- Detritus Rex: Terrorise the population and nab objects for your collection - then deliver them to your unlikely space tower.
- Alternative transport: Catch a ride on a jet engine or inside a giant bubble as weird new objects offer up exciting mini-game missions.
- Steal 'n' go: Simple controls mean anyone can play, just jump aboard the shopping trolley and start terrorising the populace in true rabbid style.
- Race relations: Crazy cartoon style graphics look great on the Wii, with huge levels filled with thing to smash and grab.

Nowadays, we are observing the revival of many pagan religions. Atheist are calling their experience of getting into atheism, awakening. Does this mean anything to us as Christians?
This is the the time to proclaim the real Jesus. The mystic and unreal stories without real based have no place in church any longer.
We need to understand once for all that the bible is real. The bible is not a bunch of unrelated stories, but the word of God.
Many of us know this, but not everyone who is in church actually belief. Now it's the time when believing is turning into an absolute requirement. (more…)

Perhaps no bird is more characteristic of the pine forests of eastern North America than is the Pine Warbler. This species rarely occurs in purely deciduous vegetation, except uncommonly during migration and occasionally during winter. The Pine Warbler is a common breeding bird and permanent resident in the southeastern United States. Its breeds at lower densities as far north as southeastern Canada and northeastern United States, where it is migratory and among the earliest warblers to arrive in spring and latest to depart in fall.
Pine Warblers are unusual among theParulidae (wood-warblers) in that both their breeding and wintering ranges lie almost entirely within the United States and Canada, although resident races are present in the Bahamas and on Hispaniola. Migrants from North America are rarely recorded in the West Indies, and very rarely in northern Mexico and Central America. The annual extent of migration into the West Indies by northern migrants is poorly known.
In winter, Pine Warblers can be especially abundant in pine forests of the southeastern United States when numbers are increased by migrants from the north. In some areas, up to 50¿100 or more individuals can be seen in mixed-species foraging flocks. Agonistic encounters between Pine Warblers and with other bird species frequently occur in these flocks. Male Pine Warblers may sing in all months of the year and commonly within fall and winter flocks, although less frequently on cold winter days.
The Pine Warbler is the only wood-warbler known to regularly consume seeds (often pine seeds or seeds at bird feeders) in any significant amount. However, few data exist on the frequency of this behavior away from feeders and the importance of seeds in the fall or winter diet. Some recent research (Levey et al. in press) has examined ways in which this primarily insectivorous bird may make the seasonal physiological changes necessary to allow for digestion of seeds.
Even though the Pine Warbler is widespread and common in parts of eastern North America, surprisingly little is known about its natural history, and its nesting biology in particular. This is likely due to its propensity to nest high in pine trees, mak-ing nests difficult to observe. As a result, it remains one of the more under-studied North American breeding wood-warblers. However, several studies focusing on the species have been conducted. Foraging relationships of Pine Warblers within mixed-species bird flocks in Louisiana (Morse 1967, Morse 1970) and with Yellow-throated Warblers (Dendroica dominica) in Maryland (Ficken et al. 1968, Morse 1974) have been examined in detail. In addition, their ecology and foraging behavior have also been studied in the Bahamas (Emlen 1977, Emlen 1981, Emlen and Dejong 1981) and in the Dominican Republic (Latta and Sondreal 1999).
