Date(s) - 21/09/2021 - 22/09/2021
All Day
The British Druid Order supports Peace One Day, a global call for the suspension of conflicts so that aid can be brought to those trapped in conflict zones and so that those engaged in conflict can come together to negotiate peace. The Peace One Day website lists ways in which we can become involved with this process. As a spiritual group, we would ask members and friends to set aside some time on this day to make prayers for peace, to drum, chant, sing and make ceremony for peace. To coordinate ceremonies and prayers, those in the UK should make them at 12 noon. For timings in other parts of the world, click on this map to open a bigger version. We invite you all to participate in every way you can.
About Peace One Day: In the late 1990s, actor turned filmmaker, Jeremy Gilley, became preoccupied with questions about the fundamental nature of humanity and the issue of peace. He decided to explore these through the medium of film, and specifically, to create a documentary following his campaign to establish an annual day of ceasefire and non-violence.
In 1999, Jeremy founded Peace One Day, a non-profit organisation, and in 2001 Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded when the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September – Peace Day.
Peace One Day's objective is to institutionalise Peace Day 21 September, making it a day that is self-sustaining, an annual day of global unity, a day of intercultural cooperation on a scale that humanity has never known.
To support this goal, and inspired by a 70% recorded reduction in violent incidents on Peace Day 2008 in Afghanistan (source: United Nations Department of Safety and Security), Jeremy launched series of Peace One Day coalitions, each with a lead partner: the NGO Coalition; the 'Reducing Domestic Violence' Coalition; the Student Coalition; the Faith Coalition; the Media Coalition; the Corporate Coalition; and the Schools' Network.
In 2012 Jeremy approached global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company to support Peace One Day in analysing the results of Peace Day that year. This process resulted in a report that found, across the world, approximately 280 million people in 198 countries were aware of Peace Day 2012. For Peace Day 2013, due to activation on the day by every sector of society around the world, McKinsey & Company recorded a 68% increase in the number of those aware of the day – that's 470 million people. Of that number, approximately 1-2% (4-8 million) behaved more peacefully in their own lives as a result, improving the world for thousands of others.
In 2014 the Peace One Day Report supported by McKinsey & Company found that over 1 billion people were exposed to Peace Day messages. Of those exposed, 610 million are now aware of the day, with an estimated 10 million people behaving more peacefully on the day as a result.
This progress has created a solid foundation for taking the message of Peace Day to 3 billion people by 2016. Through our own initiatives and collaborations with various parties, Peace One Day continues to encourage organisations and individuals take specific actions to reduce violence around the theme: Who Will You Make Peace With?
In 2014, due to the generous support of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Peace One Day launched a 3-year project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Great Lakes region of Africa for Peace Day, 21 September. The goal of project is to raise awareness of Peace Day and encourage all sectors of society in the region to stand together in the name of peace on 21 September. We hope to see a significant, measurable reduction in violence in the region on Peace Day by 2016 at the latest.
Peace One Day is impartial and independent of any government, political persuasion, corporation or religious creed. Through a multi-platform approach, Peace One Day utilises different tools to raise awareness, advocate for Peace Day and engage the global community in its broad observance.

A man accused in the murder of a Lockport mother and her children has not yet been appointed a death penalty-certified lawyer as the Public Defenders Office addresses a resignation within its office.
A man accused in the murder of a Lockport mother and her children has not yet been appointed a death penalty-certified lawyer as the Public Defenders Office addresses a resignation within its office.
David Brown, 35, of Houma, is charged with the Nov. 4 first-degree murder of 20-month-old Izabela Nieves, 7-year-old Gabriela Nieves and their mother Jacquelin Nieves.
Prosecutors have not announced an intention to pursue the death penalty — they'll likely make a decision in three weeks — but defendants are required by law to have death penalty-certified attorneys if it's even a possibility, Lafourche District Attorney Cam Morvant II said.
Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre called for the District Attorney's Office to pursue the death penalty when he announced his office had charged Brown with the murders.
At Brown's arraignment Thursday, Chris Boudreaux, district public defender and supervisor, requested an extra two to three weeks to find a replacement attorney for Brown after the attorney assigned to him, Juliet Yackel, resigned Wednesday from the Public Defender Board.
As a result, Brown's arraignment was delayed until March 21, which will likely be when Morvant announces whether he intends to seek the death penalty.
This is the second time his arraignment has been delayed because he didn't have an attorney.
During Brown's first arraignment Feb. 19, "no (attorney) showed up. I was very upset about that," Morvant said.
Judge Ashley Bruce Simpson noted in court that by law, Brown's arraignment must be set 30 days after his indictment. However, that doesn't apply if the defendant hasn't been appointed an attorney.
Boudreaux declined comment, saying he doesn't have the authority to speak to the media.
Brown is in the Lafourche Parish jail on a $3.2 million bond, but he could not leave even if he made bail because he was on parole for a theft charge at the time of his arrest.
Nieves and her daughters were each stabbed at least once, and two of them were raped, police said. Webre has declined to say which of the three were allegedly raped.
A grand jury, however, only indicted Brown on charges of sexual battery, rather than rape. A grand jury hearing, which is closed to the public and media, does not decide someone's guilt or innocence.
Jacquelin and her husband met Brown the day before her death during an apartment party held to watch the LSU-Alabama football game, neighbors said. Brown's co-workers invited him.
Some tenants in the complex didn't lock their doors that night, including Leroy Hebert, who said Brown came into his home and up to his bedroom where his wife was sleeping the night of the killings. They chased him out, Hebert said.
Brown was arrested and charged with entering Hebert's apartment Nov. 5, though Webre said then that detectives believed Brown had also killed the Nieveses.
When he was first arrested, Brown had a court-appointed lawyer who was not death penalty-certified to address those charges, Morvant said.
On Jan. 23, Brown was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated rape and one count of aggravated arson.
Detectives said Brown attempted to murder Jacquelin's husband, Carlos Nieves Jr., who slept on the first floor of the apartment while his family was killed upstairs.
With the exception of the aggravated rape charges, the grand jury indicted Brown on all other charges.
Brown still meets other criteria required to be charged with first-degree murder: He was in the perpetration of an aggravated arson, he intended to kill more than one person and he intended to kill children younger than 12, according to detectives' allegations.
If the District Attorney's Office doesn't pursue the death penalty, Brown will receive life imprisonment if convicted on any murder charge.
Jacquelin was a former nurse who took a job with shorter hours at a Walmart bakery so she could take care of her children, neighbors said. Gabriela went to Lockport Lower Elementary School.

Single Rulebook Q&A
Stakeholders can submit questions on the following legislative texts:
Important update for users (August 2019):
With the publication in the Official Journal of the EU of Directive 2013/36/EU as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/878 (the Capital Requirements Directive or CRD5), and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 (the Capital Requirements Regulation or CRR2), Directive 2014/59/EU as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/879 (Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive or BRRD2), questions submitted in the Q&A tool on those legislative texts should, as of 02/08/2019 pertain to the texts (and use references) as amended / updated.
The questions submitted should furthermore focus on provisions that are already applicable. For questions on issues whose application date lies in the future, the EBA may defer the processing of the questions to a later stage. The processing of questions and the response time may also depend on the overall number of questions that will be received on the amended texts.
The overall objective of the Q&A tool is to ensure consistent and effective application of the new regulatory framework across the Single Market, and hence contribute to the building of the Single Rulebook in banking.
The process entails close and ongoing interaction between the EBA and the European Commission to ensure that the responses to the questions submitted remain consistent with the European legislative texts.
Institutions, supervisors and other stakeholders can use the Single Rulebook Q&A tool for submitting questions on CRD5; CRR2; BRRD2; DGSD; PSD2; MCD and SecReg and the related technical standards developed by the EBA and adopted by the European Commission (RTS and ITS), as well as EBA guidelines.
The Q&As have no binding force in law, nor are they subject to "comply or explain". However their application will be rigorously scrutinised and challenged by the EBA and national supervisory authorities given their undoubted practical significance to achieve a level-playing field. Peer pressure and market discipline are also expected to play a driving force in ensuring adherence to and compliance with the answers provided in the Q&A process.
For questions that go beyond matters of consistent and effective application of the regulatory framework a Directorate-General of the Commission (Directorate General Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union) will prepare answers, albeit that only the Court of Justice of the European Union can provide definitive interpretations of EU legislation. These answers will be unofficial opinions of that Directorate General, which the EBA publishes on its behalf. These answers are not binding on the European Commission as an institution. You should be aware that the European Commission could adopt a position different from the one expressed in such Q&A, for instance in infringement proceedings or after a detailed examination of a specific case or on the basis of any new legal or factual elements that may have been brought to its attention.
Final answers will be published on Fridays between 1pm and 2pm CET (12pm-1pm GMT) - adjusted for summer time as appropriate - except if this coincides with an EU public holiday. In this instance answers will be published on the preceding working day.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the EBA only starts accepting questions on the application and implementation of technical standards related to the CRD5; CRR2; BRRD2; DGSD; PSD2; MCD and SecReg once these are published on the Official Journal of the European Union. An exception is made with respect to certain draft Implementing Technical Standards on Supervisory Reporting, as the EBA needs to address these on a timely basis in order to allow institutions to make the necessary preparations or changes to their reporting systems. The EBA has begun to publish the provisional answers to questions; however, it is important to note that these should not be considered final until the Implementing Technical Standards on Supervisory Reporting they refer to are endorsed by the European Commission and published on the Official Journal of the European Union.
Features of the Q&A tool
The EBA previously introduced some important changes to the way the Q&A tool is operated. Before posting a question, users should read the revised Additional background and guidance for asking questions to learn about the changes in the tool.
We recommend that users take a note of the following points in particular:

BOSTON — An explosion and fire at an apartment building early Monday may have been the result of a failed suicide attempt, according to a preliminary police investigation.
Firefighters rescued at least 15 people, including a 6-year-old boy who was dropped from a third-floor window of a large apartment building in the city's Roxbury neighborhood.
A man, Mohamed Abdul Jabar, was arrested after he showed up at Boston Medical Center with burns and claimed he started the fire, police said.
Jabar, 28, was transferred to the burn unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was being treated in intensive care with second-degree burns to his arms, hands and face. His injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening, police said.
Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said a preliminary investigation indicates that Jabar, who's from suburban Medford, set the fire as part of a failed suicide attempt.
Jabar is expected to face a list of charges, including arson and attempted murder. No address or home telephone number could be found for Jabar, who wouldn't be contacted at the hospital.
Ten people were taken to the hospital, most with smoke inhalation. Two firefighters and a police officer were treated for minor injuries.
Herbert and Judith Lamb were forced to drop their 6-year-old grandson from the window of their third-floor apartment into the arms of a waiting firefighter.
The boy told WCVB-TV that smoke was coming into his mother's room shortly before his grandparents dropped him into the arms of fire Lt. Glenn McGillivray. He said he told the firefighter "thank you for saving me."
McGillivray said firefighters knew Judith Lamb wouldn't be able to hold onto the boy until more help arrived, so they told her to drop him.
"Thank God I caught him," McGillivray told The Boston Globe. "I've never had to do that before, and I hope I never have to do it again."
Firefighters then used a ladder to rescue the grandmother.
Residents who escaped said they heard an explosion at about 1 a.m.
A short time later, a man showed up at Boston Medical Center with burns and said he started the blaze, fire department spokesman Steve MacDonald told The Associated Press. Police said Jabar doesn't live in the building but may have been in a relative's apartment.
MacDonald said the windows and frame were blown out in one corner of the building and bricks littered the street. More than two dozen apartments were damaged or destroyed.
All residents were accounted for, firefighters said.
About 160 firefighters were called to the scene. A temporary shelter was set up for residents displaced by the fire.

To the strains of "Moon River," guests in evening glamour and glitter mingle beneath gilded moldings and crystal chandeliers and ascend the soaring double staircase. Champagne is poured; glasses clink. Rich paneling gleams throughout the hotel lobby.
The setting might be the Driskill, the Menger or the Adolphus. Or the Waldorf-Astoria, the Palmer House or the Savoy, for that matter.
But this is West Texas, in the heart of the energy boom-bust-and-boom-again town of Big Spring on Interstate 20 between Abilene and Midland, and the site is the Hotel Settles, an Art Deco masterpiece now painstakingly returned to its former glory.
The landmark Settles reopened Dec. 28 after a six-year, $30-million restoration. While backers and dignitaries took part in a gala preview of the interior, the public was invited to watch beneath the full moon as the hotel's 14 floors were illuminated one story at a time. When the towering red rooftop sign was switched on - for the first time in decades - the crowd erupted in applause and car horns honked around town in celebration.
With that signal, the Hotel Settles was once again open for business.
Vacant since the 1980s, the circa 1929 structure had deteriorated badly. Only the threat of demolition prompted the city, with the leadership of native son and Dallas businessman Brint Ryan, to come to its rescue. They didn't do it halfway.
"We tried to make this a living history book," said Ryan. "It had to be a specimen."
Howard County ranchers W. R. and Lillie Settles, who struck it rich in oil in 1926, conceived of the hotel - the tallest between Dallas and El Paso when it went up - as a gift to their community. The Hotel Settles opened in October 1930, a year after the stock market crash that ushered in the Great Depression, but nonetheless became a popular stopover with celebrities traveling by rail between New York and California. Well-known bands played; stars and socialites visited; President Hoover stayed. But the hotel changed ownership over the years and dwindled to disrepute.
Today the Settles retakes its place among the nation's grand destination hotels. It offers fewer guest rooms than before - by design, because most of the rooms that met earlier standards of comfort are now merged into spacious suites with fully updated amenities. A suite at the Settles instills a feeling very different from your typical upscale business hotel: step over the threshold and you're in the luxurious guest wing of a tastefully furnished private home, with inviting textures and surfaces, subtle color schemes and a mix of warm light from tall windows and well-placed lamps.
For travelers desiring a more precisely authentic experience, on the third floor the original floor plan has been retained for all rooms.
Rooms in varying configurations feature shower, shower and tub, and/or bubbler tub. All rooms have free high-speed Internet access, 42-inch television, in-room safe and Aveda toiletries. Next-day dry-cleaning service is available; room service will soon be. Free self-parking is in the hotel's street-level private lot.
For socializing and meals, guests may enjoy the full-service Settles Grill for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or step into the sophisticated Pharmacy Bar, named for the drugstore that previously occupied one ground-floor corner. The warmly appointed parlor beckons for a round of billiards, dominoes or poker; cigar aficionados will want to step downstairs into the "Judge's Chamber" for a smoke.
On the second floor, the grand ballroom sparkles with faithfully restored millwork framing mint-green walls and creamy white ceilings. Moldings and trim were reproduced from surviving samples, according to project architect Norman Alston and general contractor Mike Knowles. Period photographs of the hotel served as guides for the restoration, yielding important clues. While many of the light fixtures and hardware fittings are reproductions, the restoration team took great care to model them as closely as possible on originals.
One such instance involved a hunt for the lobby's original wood-paneled phone booths. Nos. 1 and 3 - designated by gold numerals - have been located and restored. (If you should come across No. 2 in some dusty antique shop, well, the Settles is looking for it.)
Three large meeting rooms, with enlargements of historic photographs on display, offer Wi-Fi and digital audio-visual connections and projectors. The hotel can accommodate events from small business meetings to parties of 300 or more, from intimate luncheons and cocktail parties to formal occasions in a variety of spaces.
A state-of-the-art fitness studio is already in operation. Plans call for completion of a day spa and the outdoor swimming pool and retreat area by summer.
While construction is still under way in these areas and the larger suites, the hotel is already welcoming overnight guests and taking reservations. In rooms starting at $179 a night, guests can recapture some of the graciousness and elegance of days gone by while relaxing or working in 21st-century comfort.
Tanner Settles, a grandson of W. R. Settles who remembers coming back to Big Spring on family trips, was impressed with the transformation so far. "We always thought it would be neat if it would open back up," he said.
Two Big Spring natives, guests at the opening reception, were astonished at the transformation they witnessed. "It's beyond our wildest dreams," said Buddy Duncan. Ann Duncan echoed her husband's approval. "People had wanted this for so long."


text: Hi Domenico & George, Hi all, another cheap solution is the AS 5040, however the SSOP-16 package of this IC is a problem for homebrewers, as the chip is very tiny and always needs a good PCB with high accuracy between the tracks. In addition is necessary to make some mechanical construction in order to support the moving-magnet and the circuit, in place of the old-conventional pot. This IC working with digital -or- analogue output if you want a standalone device (0-5Volts for 0-360 degrees or by using a divider : 0-3.6 Volts for a direct digital readout). A few nice examples you can find here: http://www.electric-web.org/rotary_encoder.htm http://vk5dj.mountgambier.org/Beam/AS5040/AS5040-45.html However I completely agree with Domenico, the classical wire pot is the best techical and economical solution for Satellites. All the rest are much more complicated, and they need dozen-hours of experimentation. OK, even if the pot needs replacement from time to time, for me remains that a simple, easy and comfortable solution for our applications. And keep in mind, the POT is a "passive" component in contrast with any IC into the rotor, which is an active circuit into a non-friendly environment, like that inside of metal case of rotor, where extreme temperature take place between -35 on N.Europe, Canada etc and upto 80-90 Celsius on South areas !. No very comfortable environment's condition for an IC - even if has a low power consumption. 73, Mak SV1BSX > Has anybody tried to use other methods of sensing than the pots? I'm > currently trying an electronic compass. First results are promising. > > Eventually I want to completely replace the Yaesu controller. > > BR, > -- > /\/\arc > ON4AMV > Hi George, ON4AMV It is possible to use commercially available absolute encoders with linear analog output from 0 to 5 volt or from 0 to 10 volt for a single revolution of 360° The above absolute encoders are more accurate than any conventional linear 360° potentiometer and they don't use moving contacts like a wiper built into a wirewound potentiometer. They are made by Tekel, Eltra, Lika Electronic and many others manufacturers for robotics and industrial application but they are very expensive. In addition the backlash into the gears of a G5400 rotator do not justify such high accuracy and a good wirewound linear 500 ohm potentiometer represents the best technical and economical solution. By the way when a very high repeatedly position accuracy is requested as for large EME dishes then absolute encoders or resolvers with the associated syncro to digital converters are necessary. 73" de i8CVS Domenico

COLUMBUS: Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped hints Thursday about whether he�ll push to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law to cover more poor people in the state.
While the Republican governor would not reveal his plans, he did say that he views the expansion decision separately from the law he and others often call �Obamacare� and its mandate for almost everyone to obtain health insurance.
Kasich is expected to decide soon whether Ohio should opt for Medicaid expansion under the law, the signature legislation of Democratic President Barack Obama�s administration. The governor plans to make the decision known when he unveils his two-year state budget proposal on Monday.
Speculation around the Statehouse is that Kasich is leaning toward expansion.
�I think probably many of you suspect what I�m going to do,� Kasich told reporters Thursday. �If you�ve followed me for the last couple of years, and as you�ve gotten to know me better, you kind of know how I feel about things like this.�
The federal government will pay the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent of the cost after that. Even at those generous rates, however, some GOP governors and state legislatures say they fear being stuck with long-term costs.
Ohio was among 26 states that sued to overturn the law.
While the U.S. Supreme Court last year upheld the heart of the overhaul, it allowed states to decide whether to expand Medicaid.
Ohio officials have been weighing the long-term impact and potential costs of expanding Medicaid against the possible savings.
A recent study said Ohio stands to make $1.4 billion during the next decade with the expansion. But most of that revenue would come during the first years of an expanded Medicaid program and eventually level off as the state�s share of the costs increase.
The analysis says Ohio would save money in 2014 because the federal government would pay a much higher share of Medicaid costs for newly eligible adults. The state also would see an increase in sales and health insurance tax revenues, the report said.
About 456,000 uninsured Ohioans would gain health care coverage by 2022 under the expansion, according to the study from the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, a nonpartisan policy organization.
�I don�t view this as Obamacare at all,� Kasich said Thursday during a legislative preview session for journalists organized by The Associated Press. �Obamacare, you know, involving an individual mandate, I don�t support. ... But this is a different issue. This is about people who are at the lower economic end.�
Kasich said a top concern for him in weighing a possible Medicaid expansion is whether the state can trust the federal government to continue picking up the bulk of program costs.

Sold by the 5 meter reel, foot and sample kit.
Our waterproof 2835 CurrentControl LED strip can reach lengths of up to 5 meters with no voltage drop. It is easy to install anywhere LED strip light is needed! This innovative strip combines current regulating chips with 2835 high brightness LEDs, to ensure consistent brightness and color for your installation. Constructed with high quality components, offering a CRI of 90+. Available in four shades of white.
CurrentControl strip works with standard PWM dimmers, PWM controllers and voltage varying dimming units we sell. Dimming range when using voltage varying dimming units will not begin until voltage drops to 21 volts, so there is a range shift, versus traditional resistor-only strip. For that reason, we do not recommend dimming CurrentControl using supplies that operate by reducing voltage to reduce current.
Easy to install:
- Non-waterproof version has high-adhesion stickyback. Just peel off the wax paper and stick it to any clean, dry substrate.
- Waterproof version comes with 20 rubber tie downs if you buy the complete reel, plus a glue tube, plus 4 caps for the ends. You get those accessories with full-reel purchases only. Or you can buy the special foam tape and glue we list as companion parts.
- Daylight White. (6500Kelvin.)
- IP65 waterproof. Available in waterproof and non-waterproof.
- 5863 mW/meter = 1651 lumens/meter.
- 24 volts DC.

A few months ago when I asked for book suggestions, a blog reader mentioned that she thought I would really enjoy Rules of Civility. (You were right! Thank you!) Besides being an complex tale of New York society in the 1930s, it is just a very engaging and page turning read. What I've enjoyed the most though is the way the author reveals information in such a subtle way. It's the kind of book where you keep picking up small breadcrumbs of information, but you know in the end it is leading you somewhere big.
I'm also enjoying the writing, and I came across this passage a few days ago and have thought about it every morning since, so I thought I'd pass it on.
"My father was never much one for whining. In the nineteen years I knew him, he hardly spoke of his turn in the Russian army, or of making ends meet with my mother, or of the day that she walked out on us. He certainly didn't complain about his health as it failed.
But one night near the end, as I was sitting at his bedside trying to entertain him with an anecdote about some nincompoop with whom I worked, out of the blue he shared a reflection which seemed such a non sequitur that I attributed it to delirium. Whatever setbacks he had faced in his life, he said, however daunting or dispiriting the unfolding of events, he always knew that he would make it through, as long as when he woke in the morning he was looking forward to his first cup of coffee. Only decades later would I realize that he had been giving me a piece of advice."
Not only an interesting turning point in the book, but pretty sound advice, right?

Even when we are crippled tightly in a recession some of us would like to see it all be over faster without any sacrifice. I mean who wants work harder at restoring things to the way they were? Just how great was it anyway? Our economy was build on credit cards and loans. There was not enough real money to back it all up. We like the finer things in life and we will spend hundreds or even thousands to get it. But here is a better tip. What about spending some of that money to study smarter not harder on how to generate the wealth first before you start paying for over priced clothes and big screen TV sets that you can do without. That way you can spend your cash and not simply charge it on a bunch of credit cards and then wonder how you will pay for it later.
Does this sound like you? How long are you going to wait until you start to work smarter not harder on how to generate wealth? And I mean a real education not getting involved in some get rich quick scheme that requires no hard work or not much time setting up. To be successful you will need some determination and a strong work ethic. We has seem to lost sight of this along the way. Our heads are filled with dreams of retiring early but for those who can they did it because they study smarter to work harder, better and faster by getting the education they needed.
They are the people who found the time to study to work smarter not harder online. They followed the tips of internet marketing the right way to give them a long term edge. But some will want to skip all that and look for what they think is a better and faster way to make money. This will open the door for you to get caught up in all types of rip offs that simply take your money and run. Those con artist are counting on you to keep your head filled with dreams and not of knowledge. That is how those offers of fortune and wealth in a matter of days can seem so enticing.
We need to change our mindset. Invest more money into your future. Instead of going to the mall and just spending put that cash into something that can actually teach you how to make money. The web can help you do this but only if you are willing to study smarter on how to do this correctly. The web has been producing success for many people in the past and will so in the future. The question is will you have the online education you will need to take advantage of it or will you continue to be a victim of your own circumstances.
The bottom line is work smarter not harder. The only way to gain wealth is to be educated. Study smarter and it can go a long way in your success. Make this recession be the last one for you.

Wang Xiaotong's biography tells us that he became interested in mathematics at a young age. He made a careful study of the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art and was particularly impressed with the commentary on that text written by Liu Hui. Wang went on to become a teacher of mathematics, and later he was appointed as deputy director of the Astronomical Bureau.
It was known that the Chinese calendar at that time was in need of reform since, although only in operation for a few years, already predictions of eclipses were getting out of step. In 623 Wang and Zu Xiaosun, a Civil Servant, were given the task of reporting on the problems with the calendar and making recommendations. There was disagreement between Wang and another calendar expert Fu Renjun about certain aspects of the calendar and in fact Wang's ideas were not particularly good since he wished to ignore the irregularity of the sun's motion and he also wanted to ignore the precession of the equinoxes which had first been incorporated in calendar calculations by Zu Chongzhi in the fifth century.
One might ask why we have included Wang in this archive when his achievements on calendar reform seem retrograde. Well, he has not been included for this work but rather for the remarkable contribution he made to Chinese mathematics in the Jigu suanjing (Continuation of Ancient Mathematics). The book contains 20 problems. The first is a pursuit problem of a dog chasing a hare, but Wang tells us that this is really a problem about movements of astronomical bodies. The next 13 problems concern engineering constructions and the volume of granaries. The final six problems concern right angled triangles.
The important innovation which is incorporated in most of these problems is that they reduce to a cubic equation which Wang solves numerically. We do not know of any earlier Chinese work on cubic equations. Of course one has to understand that when we say that the text is concerned with cubic equations, we do not see expressions with x, x2 and x3 in them. Rather the equations are expressed in words and Wang thinks in a geometrical way. For example where we might say "Let the height be x" and then produce an equation in x, Wang writes:-
Let the height be the side of a cube.He then goes on to set up a cubic equation for the height. Again he will write:-
Let the depth be the side of a cubewhen he is about to set up a cubic equation for the depth. It is interesting to compare this geometrical way of thinking about cubics with that of Cardan 900 years later. Many see this work by Wang as the first steps towards the "tian yuan" or "coefficient array method" or "method of the celestial unknown" of Li Zhi. For example Ruan Yuan writes in his Biographies of astronomers and mathematicians (1799) (see [5]):-
Really his work is the true source of the later "tian yuan" method.Mikami writes [3]:-
In setting up cubic equations Wang Xiaotong utilised a rule which is the same as the "tian yuan". Thus the rule is new in form, but, in fact, it is the continuation of the ancient style handed down from earlier generations.The problems in the Jigu suanjing (Continuation of Ancient Mathematics) are stated in a very complicated form. Here is a flavour of the style with a translation of Problem 3 as given in [1]:-
Suppose that a dyke is to be built. The difference between the lower and upper widths of the west face is 6 zhang 8 chi 2 cun ..., the height of the east face is 3 zhang 1 chi less than the height of the west face .... Sub-prefecture A gives 6724 men, sub-prefecture B gives 16677 men ... Each man of the four sub-prefectures excavates 9 dan 9 dou 2 sheng of earth per day and packs down on average 11 chi 4 cun and 6/12 cun per day ... Previously a man was able to cover a horizontal road of length 192 bu 62 times per day carrying 2 dou 4 sheng and 8 he of earth on his back. But now, it is necessary to climb a hill and cross a watercourse in order to fetch the earth. A climb of 3 bu is equivalent to 4 bu of a flat road, 1 bu for a ford is equivalent to 2 bu for a flat road, ... What is the daily task of a man who digs, transports and constructs; what are the heights and the upper and lower widths of the dyke ...If we strip away some of the complications then we are left with workers from four countries, A, B, C, and D who cooperate to build a dyke. The east and west ends of the dyke are trapezoidal. The length, upper width, lower widths of the east and west ends and the height of the west end are all known as functions of the height x of the east end. This allows the volume to be calculated as a function of x. Data given for the work done by the workers allows the volume to be calculated, and a cubic equation is arrived at for x.
To be able to solve this problem Wang has not only to be able to set up a cubic equation and solve it, but he also needs to know a formula for the volume of his dyke with trapezoidal ends and varying cross-section. One of Wang's achievements was calculating this formula and in the preface to the treatise he gives a reference to ideas which had led him to the volume formula (see for example [6]):-
People much appreciated Zu Geng's Appended Rules. It is a pity Zu did not clearly explain the problems on the frustum. Here I give alternative methods for extending them.Note that Zu Geng was Zu Chongzhi's son.
Let us now look at the problems on right angled triangles, namely problems 15 to 20 inclusive. We use letters to name the sides of the right angled triangle where Wang uses names:-
Problem 15: Let a right angled triangle have sides a, b, c where c is the hypotenuse. If a times b is seven hundred and six and one fiftieth, and if c is thirty six and nine tenths more than a. What are the values of the three sides.Suppose we forget the numbers for a moment and look at the data we are given. We know ab, c - a and of course that a2 + b2 = c2 by the Gougu rule (Pythagoras). Wang calls a the unknown and finds a cubic equation in terms of a. Let us see how this can be done (we do not know exactly how Wang reasoned).
Other problems here are of the same type. In Problem 17 we are given bc and a + b, while in Problem 19 we are given bc and a. Try to set up the necessary equations in these two cases in a similar way to our solution to Problem 15 above.
In 656, after editing by Li Chunfeng, the treatise Jigu suanjing (Continuation of Ancient Mathematics) became a text for the Imperial examinations and it became one of The Ten Classics when reprinted in 1084. Not only did Wang's work influence later Chinese mathematicians, but it is said that it was his ideas on cubic equations which Fibonacci learnt, probably first transmitted into the Islamic/Arabic world, and then brought to Europe.

New Bern aldermen left their last full meeting Tuesday night with �fireworks� before the new mayor and three new aldermen take their board seats next month.
The uproar came over an issue that was decided seven months ago when the board approved funding for a new fire truck. But Alderman Dana Outlaw, who will be sworn in as mayor at the December meeting replacing Mayor Lee Bettis, got reprimand by Bettis for wanting to table the purchase of a $755,626.92 fire truck.
After a presentation by New Bern Fire Chief Bobby Aster highlighting how he and his staff worked since May to get the best price for a ladder/pumper truck to replace a 20-year-old fire truck, Outlaw said he wanted to wait for more information and to get the view of the three new aldermen who will take their seats in December before deciding. He said some of them had more knowledge about fire departments.
Outlaw said he agreed there was a need for the fire truck, but he was a little concerned about the timing of it and there were a lot of changes going on in fire departments.
That raised the ire of Bettis and Alderman Sabrina Bengel.
�What changes?� Bettis asked.
Outlaw said he was not going to get into it.
�This is a truck that we budgeted for � that this board budgeted for,� Bettis said. ��I�m suspicious of your timing on this. This is a politically motivated ploy by you Dana Outlaw. It�s despicable for you to use insurance rates, public safety and the financial resources of the city for your political means. I think it is despicable and deplorable. This board worked hard to put this in the budget, and you ought to keep your nonsense out of it.�
Bengel was also upset at Outlaw�s reasoning for wanting to table the issue. She said she respected Aster�s expertise in firefighting and purchasing fire trucks.
�It�s not my job as an alderman to understand about purchasing fire trucks,� she said. �It�s your job to bring the appropriate information to us.�
And Aster did that in May, Bengel said.
�We reviewed it and voted on a budget based on the information you gave us,� she said. �I think it is a lack of respect for your ability as our fire chief to not move forward with the information because this is your job. This is your job as the fire chief to advise us, and I think all of your information is in order and all of the purchasing agent�s information is in order.�
Bettis said last week Outlaw sent a memo to Scott Davis, city attorney, asking if it was possible to keep the mayor�s name off the new fire truck.
�Mr. Davis I have a simple question.� the email from Outlaw to Davis says. �I want to change long held City policy that the future fire trucks be named after a fallen fire hero in New Bern and not a Mayor. Could you make me aware of what the New Bern Board of Alderman need to do to make this happen? Dana�
Davis responded that the board could vote on how it wants to name or not name fire apparatus, but he suggested Outlaw check with Aster about the history and traditions associated with naming fire trucks.
Putting names of mayors on fire trucks is a unique tradition in New Bern dating back to at least 1879, Aster said Wednesday.
�This is a load of political crap,� Bettis said, adding he thought Outlaw was putting city firefighters at risk. �Dana, I don�t care if my name is not on a fire truck. That�s not what drives me.�
The things that did drive Bettis were strong city finances and a clean financial audit, which New Bern received Tuesday night from the city�s auditor, and the work he has done with the Housing Authority that will impact thousands of people, he said.
Alderman Denny Bucher said that, in the business world, the discussion was known as focusing on the hole rather than the doughnut.
The Board of Aldermen approved a $750,000 budget for the fire truck in May. After the Tuesday night meeting, Keith Fiaschetti, New Bern finance director, said the additional money it would take to purchase the fire truck would come from the fire department�s budget and he and the city manager had the board�s approval to amend the budget as long as the money did not come from the general fund.
Aster said the 2014 Sutphen Quient fire truck that will take a year to build in Dublin, Ohio, would be able to carry six firefighters and provide a 75-foot ladder and pumper services when fighting a fire, which might increase the city�s rating for homeowner and business insurance or at least boost the city�s standing with the ISO Insurers.
Other fire trucks Aster said they looked at cost more than $770,000, but they were able to get the lower price by working with the city�s new purchasing and warehouse manager, Bobby Summers, who used a co-op contract with the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments.
Outlaw made a motion to table the request, and it failed 5-2. Alderman Bernard White was the only other alderman to support the motion.
Bengel made a counter motion to adopt the purchase of the fire truck. It was seconded by Bucher and passed 5-2, with Outlaw and White voting against it.
Aster ordered the new fire truck Wednesday morning.

I have a new granddaughter arriving soon. That much-anticipated event and early signs of spring have me summoning up my earlier career as a librarian. It's time to get this baby's bookcase filled – with books about the garden, of course.
There are many fine picture books for young children – see list that follows – but I'm starting with my two favorites: Barbara Cooney's "Miss Rumphius" and Peter Brown's "The Curious Garden." In addition to the authors also being the illustrators, the books have a similar theme: gardens make the world better.
Ms. Cooney, who died in 2000, is among the most celebrated American children's book author-illustrators and the winner of two Caldecott Medals, the annual prize given for the "most distinguished American picture book." "Miss Rumphius" won the National Book Award in 1983.
Calling the story one of "the closest to her heart," Cooney writes of a little girl who sets three goals for when she grows up: to visit faraway places, to come home and live by the sea, and to do something to make the world more beautiful.
She eventually fulfills all three goals, but it is the third, making the world more beautiful, that is the most difficult. Until, that is, she discovers that the wind has spread the seeds of her lupines and decides to help nature by sowing lupine seeds wherever she walks until there are so many blooms that she becomes known as the Lupine Lady.
It's a warm, charming story, gloriously illustrated in acrylic and color pencil. A classic.
Peter Brown, with four picture books under his belt, promises to have a notable career. "The Curious Garden" is a fictional account of the wonderful new garden – High Line Park – that has been created on an abandoned elevated railway over lower Manhattan.
In Brown's version, a curious young boy named Liam discovers struggling plants on a rail bed and decides to help them grow. In time, the plants take on a life of their own, spread throughout the city, and transform it from gray to green.
And new gardeners pop up as well as new plants. Like the Lupine Lady, Liam not only makes the world more beautiful, he illustrates what a difference one gardener can make. Lively illustrations done in acrylic and gouache. A new classic.
If you're looking to fill a bookcase, consider the following titles, all picture books written for young children. Many are available in paperback and as board books as well as in hardcover. (And if you have favorite books to interest kids in gardening, do mention them in a comment below.)

I'm starting to wonder whether TAR goes to Niamey or not. Niger is considered by the UN to be the poorest country on earth. Not much infrastructure to support TAR production crews. Lousy climate to boot.
It is clear that Bingo is not a tremendous distance from Ouagadougou. That means that the whole philosophy of taking road transport to Niamey as the next place is now highly unlikely. To meet the "2 African countries statement" teams will most probably fly to another country. The question is to which country? My previous work identified these two possibilities from Ouagadougou(since teams have reached the pitstop in the morning of July 14, they could get there by midnight if there is a nearby road and taxi pickup has been pre-arranged by World Race Production). Those possibilities are :Abidjan, Ivory Coast - 2J(Air Burkina) 322 0800 0930Bamako, Mali 2J 338 1345 1530It could be either one. They could also stay in Burkina Faso if the originator of "2 African countries" meant Burkina and Faso.

With five days until the election, a California Field poll shows Republican Meg Whitman trailing Democrat Jerry Brown by 10 points in the race for governor. Last month the same poll showed the two in a virtual tie.
How did that happen?
In the end, say analysts, heavy campaign spending – $142 million of her own money at last count – was unable to overcome Ms. Whitman's political inexperience and the news that she employed an undocumented housekeeper for nearly a decade.
Californians already tried an outsider with millions of his own money – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger – and are not happy with the outcome. Now, in a time of trouble, it seems a state that already leans Democratic is searching for a known quantity in Mr. Brown, who has been California's governor before.
Whitman's money, trumpeted early on as a difference-maker in the race, might have even contributed to negative opinions of her, says Barbara O'Connor, director of the Institute for Study of Politics and Media at California State University, Sacramento.
She has pummeled California airwaves for months with ads painting Brown's 40-year career in California politics as a failure. But the ads appear not to have had the desired effect.
When Whitman began her first major advertising blitz in March, 40 percent of state voters had a favorable view of her and 27 percent viewed her negatively. Now, her unfavorable ratings have nearly doubled to 51 percent, the Field poll found.
"Her negatives continued to grow as people were reminded day after day that Whitman was spending more time trashing Jerry Brown than laying out her own plans for the state's future," says Ms. O'Connor. "This state is really hurting, and people wanted to know what her specific vision was.... They feel she never told them."
These problems were exacerbated by the revelations about Whitman's housekeeper, whom she subsequently fired. Attorney Gloria Allred, who represented the housekeeper, made allegations of abuse and disrespect.
"To hear that this immigrant worker endured years of possible abuse at the hands of someone who wants to be a leader for the state was definitely a turnoff for Latinos who, although not uniformly, largely see the issue of immigration as a moral issue," says Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.
At one point, polls suggested that Whitman was running well among Latinos. Now Latino support for her has plummeted.
Whitman had a small chance to begin to turn things around this week at Maria Shriver's "The Women's Conference" in Long Beach, Calif. In a conversation with Brown and Schwarzenegger, moderator and "Today Show" host Matt Lauer asked Whitman and Brown if they would pledge to end all negative ads in the last week before the election.
The crowd cheered the idea. As the front-runner, threw the ball into Whitman's court: He would if Whitman did. Whitman hedged and was loudly booed.
"She had a chance to catch a Hail Mary pass," says political author Lara Brown. "But she dropped it."
Whitman lacks political experience, and the Brown campaign has tried to link her to Schwarzenegger, the one-time outsider whose approval ratings now hover near 23 percent, identical to those of former Gov. Gray Davis when Schwarzenegger replaced him in a 2003 recall election. A new Brown ad, called "Echo," plays on Whitman's similarities to Schwarzenegger by running side-by-side quotes of the two that are almost identical.
The situation puts many California voters in a tough spot. "While not being in love with Jerry Brown, voters feel that at least he knows how to run the governor's office because he already has," says Hal Dash, president and CEO of Cerrell & Associates, a Democratic strategy consulting firm. "They don't have a lot of passion about it, but they want to give the office keys to Brown."
Can Whitman pull it out? "It appears that Whitman is going to have to come from behind to score what would now have to be termed an upset," says Matthew Kerbel, a political scientist at Villanova University. "The only way to do this in a state as vast as California is with a massive ad campaign, but Whitman may be suffering diminishing returns because she has saturated the airwaves for so long."
The Whitman camp claims the latest Field Poll is inaccurate. It has released two separate internal polls which put the race at too close to call.

We are headed for August sizzle as the thermometer begins its climb upward. However, that is not the only thing sizzling — the Tony Award-winning musical "Memphis" is setting the Pantages Theatre on fire. The show, set in Memphis in the segregated '50s, would ignite a blaze of enthusiasm anywhere with its nonstop music and dancing. This amazing musical runs through Aug. 12.
Bryan Fenkart plays and sings the role of the white DJ Huey Calhoun, who falls in love with the black singer, Felicia, played by Felicia Boswell. Their onstage chemistry radiates to the last row in the balcony of the theater. Music genres such as blues, soul, gospel and rock 'n' roll performed by this cast absolutely blow the lid off the historic building.
I was fortunate to attend the cast party at Hollywood's newest boutique hotel, the Redbury. "Dragging" me to the party was Toni Arellanes Miller, who grew up in La Cañada Flintridge and graduated from LCHS in 1979. The hotel's bar, called the Library, was a beginning place for the party, which spilled out into the lush outdoor courtyard called the Glade. What a place for a celebration.
Bringing it all down to earth and on the home front, Sherry and David Kirchheimer hosted the July La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Happy Hour last Friday evening.
Yep, it was a hot one too, but as soon as the sun went down, it was very pleasant on the Kirchheimers' expansive property — even a cool breeze swept through now and again to make it even lovelier.
Just one of the hallmarks of this monthly event is the plethora of hors d'oeuvres brought by guests. The quantity of the fabulous edibles truly brought new meaning to the old term of the "groaning board."
Being a warm evening, refreshing libations were plentiful too. Acting as the cheerful barkeepers who always have a tale or two to tell were Don Spomer, Art Johnson, John Landrum and Bob Wallace.
Of course there was the usual chatter about how everyone's summer was going, and sharing of getaway vacation stories.
Always the most important topic is, "How is the float coming along?"
Jim Geoghegan, who has been involved in our float construction for more than 20 years, said the float is coming into shape beautifully. He said they are just waiting for somebody to give their "Dino-soar" a nickname.
A fun part of the evening came when guests took turns riding on the Kirchheimers' little train, which departed from the train station called "Flintheim." Dottie Hazel said this was one mixer she just couldn't miss because she wanted to ride the train.
So, responding to a toot of the engine's horn, train enthusiasts headed out for an adventure around the Kirchheimers' yard and patio.
The evening had a magical feeling created by the beautiful venue and the very charming frontier railway.
Among the "floaters" out for summer fun in support of our float were Jean and Don Spomer, Pat Anderson, Barbara Marshall, Claire Slaughter, Pat and Otis Hutchins, Vera and Garth Gragg, Liz and Bob Craven, Caroline Craven, Ron and Trisch Diaz, Martha Burns, Joey and Dave Mitchell, Pamela and Bud Carney, Joey and Dave Mitchell, Dottie and Gary Hazel, Jean and Jerry Martin, Lillian and Roy Olofson, Bill Pounders, Gale and Tom Caswell, Irene and Carl Christensen, Bob Wallace, Brenda Gant, Jeff Hughes, Nancy Wyman, Anne Hills, Peggy Jones, Joan and Chuck McGee, and Diane and John Landrum.
Other attendees included Ann and Bob Neilson, Carol and Bill Imbriale, Jim and Sherill Carbonetti, Chuck Hughes, Jenny Pass, Mary and Daryal Gant, Sarah and Mayfield Marshall, Bobbie and Clyde Hemphill, Linda and Scott Deacon, Florence Cox, Cathy and Pete Palermo, Art Johnson, Fraser Draper, Darleen Peterson, Betty Jones, Doris Horwith, David Hildreth, Adene and Jim Misamore, Peggy Hotaling, Lynn and Joe Thompson, Eremita Miranda, Larry Andreason, Chuck Terhune and Mary Brown.
The next Happy Hour will be the ever popular annual "Hamburger Night" at the home of Sarah and Mayfield Marshall, 4918 Vineta, at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24.
Anyone older than 18 is invited to attend, and no reservation is required.
Just bring an appetizer to share and enjoy a fun, casual evening with your friends, old and new, all in support of the La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Assn.'s 2013 Rose Parade float.

A collection of shots from inside the crater. They have a viewing spot which is a concrete walkway down to a platform. Maybe 75-100 feet down (out of the 700 foot total distance.)
Some of these will give an idea of how difficult the terrain would be for the casual climber.

Sunday Night At The London Palladium is set to return to ITV with an all-star line-up of hosts including Rob Brydon and Jack Whitehall.
The classic TV show was a hit between 1955 and 1967, featuring household name comedian hosts such as Sir Bruce Forsyth and Bob Monkhouse and celebrity guests, and has been credited with kicking off Beatlemania in the UK after the band performed on it in 1963.
According to The Sun, the show has now become the latest in a line of ITV revivals including Celebrity Squares and Catchphrase.
Each week there will be a different host, and joining Rob and Jack on the list of those confirmed to front the programme are Jimmy Carr and Bradley Walsh.
Guests set to appear are Neil Diamond, Art Garfunkel, Bryan Adams, Maroon 5, The Script, Nicole Scherzinger, Little Mix, Alan Davies, Sarah Millican and Milton Jones.
There will also be a glimpse of new musical Made In Dagenham, which stars Gemma Arterton, and the show will take place at the Palladium, as the original did, which was until recently home to cancelled X Factor musical I Can't Sing!
Latest Stories
An ITV spokesperson said of the six-part series: "Some of the UK's best-loved comics and entertainers will host one show each and introduce some of the biggest stars from music and comedy.
"There will be jaw-dropping acts from around the world, plus surprise guests."
Sunday Night At The London Palladium was revived for a year in 1973 and has spawned spin-offs Live From The Palladium and Tonight At The London Palladium, which last screened in 2000.

It's called slut-shaming, and it's how teens often respond when learning that a classmate has been raped. In the adult world, it's known as blaming the victim.
Awash in a sexualized popular culture, teenage girls who are socialized to act and appear sexually enticing find their quest for popularity and fun sometimes morphing instantly into horror. But with a gulf of confusion among teens separating "yes" and "no," consent and resistance, it's often hard to tell the difference between sex and sexual assault.
So while victims may be hurt and reeling, they also feel confused — and responsible. And their peers, too often, offer no sympathy, because the impact of sex — especially forced sex — is lost on them.
"Sex has become a part of our culture, much like smoking was back when our parents were younger," said Ashley Massey, a sophomore at Santa Teresa High in San Jose, Calif.
With the recent arrest of three boys for sexual assault linked to 15-year-old Saratoga High student Audrie Pott's suicide, the "sexting" trial of three Virginia boys facing child porn charges, and a lawsuit against a Michigan school district stemming from two girls being sexually assaulted, teens' sexual behavior has leapt into headlines. Last fall at Piedmont High in Alameda County, Calif., students created an online "fantasy slut league," participating in sexual activity for points, similar to fantasy sports leagues.
While teens may know about the mechanics of sex,they don't really learn about what it means, or its social-emotional implications.
"Nobody really talks about how it affects us in our day-to-day lives," said Lisie Sabbag, a Palo Alto, Calif. high school senior who wrote about "rape culture" in a powerful issue of the high school's Verde magazine.
Counselors see even young girls as sometimes willing participants. "Rape is not really rape any more, because girls are kind of giving it up freely," said Paullette Segovia of the East County Alcohol Policy Coalition in Pittsburg and Bay Point, Calif.
"Teens see this party and lifestyle where guys go out to have sex and girls sexualize themselves," Sabbag said. "Since we see it on TV, in our music and on Facebook, we think that's the way we're supposed to be."
Guys think that they can get away with assault, said Debbie Massey, Ashley's mother. "Shows on TV show that if you have sex with a girl nothing's going to happen. They think they're above the law."
While many "health" classes, teens report, do talk about sexually transmitted diseases and contraception, they often don't delve into such difficult issues as sexual assault or consent.
"The last sex ed class I took was in middle school," said Allison Pham, a Santa Teresa High junior. "All I remember is we didn't talk about sex."
Rather than a serious topic, rape has become part of everyday teen slang.
"I can't go through a school day without hearing a rape joke," Pham said. On YouTube, a common comment may be, "raping the replay button!" she noted, or "omg he's so hot, I wish he would rape me."
And if someone objects, the commenter will reply: "jk" — just kidding.
Some teens don't understand the importance of consent, said Santiago Garcia, a senior at KIPP King Collegiate in San Lorenzo, Calif. Instead, he said, "some guys assume that if the girl liked it, it's not really rape."
That hints at a larger teen culture where girls buy into the notion that they exist to please guys.
"We've really gone backward in the sexual revolution," said Monica Schneider, an administrator at Overfelt High in San Jose. Girls see their role as serving men, she said, and "it is expected on a first date that they participate in sexual behavior."
If girls feel they're not ready and say no, word gets around campus that they're frigid or uptight. Alternately, sometimes when girls do give in, Schneider said, "later they feel really crappy about themselves."
While there's a lot of peer pressure to have sex, many teens resist it. Kevin Sanford, a senior, said of his crowd at Santa Teresa High, "We just like hanging out and having fun."
Overfelt's Schneider said she noticed a change in campus culture about eight years ago — pre-Facebook — as teens were listening to music with more explicit lyrics that were more degrading to women.
Social networking has only made it easier for kids to hook up, said Segovia, a former rape crisis counselor. "Girls are taking pictures that are not appropriate to be out on the Net. And they're getting attention."
Then they may find themselves in a situation they're not prepared to handle, often impaired by alcohol or drugs, and they can't stop what's happening.
A second assault sometimes follows from their peers.
"We live in a culture that blames the victim," said Debrianna Dimas, 21, a rape survivor and senior at California's Chico State. When she was 14, a friend's friend raped her at a party, after someone put a drug in her drink, she said. "There's not a day that goes by that I do not think about it."
And yet, when she mentions the assault, people ask, "Were you drinking? What were you wearing?" and "Are you sure you said no loud enough?"
A high school teacher in San Jose, she said, told her to just get over it, that rape is part of life.
Elizabeth Campos, 22, a San Jose City College student, said she never spoke about being sexually assaulted when she was a San Jose gang member. "We don't think it's rape. It's just something that happened."
Before leaving the gang, she wouldn't mention the rapes because she anticipated the response: "Hey, why did you put yourself in that situation?"
Rape victims then lose their self-respect, Campos said. And that leaves them open to further victimization.
Just when young victims most need support to ease the trauma, family and friends may be unsympathetic. And some students hesitate to approach a teacher, who by law is mandated to report sexual assault. "Kids aren't looking for that kind of attention," said Sabbag, who interviewed eight Palo Alto High rape survivors for her story.
Blaine Dzwonczyk, a senior at California's Los Altos High, has heard rape survivors lament they deserved what happened to them. But Dzwonczyk insists, "No one deserves that."
She has also confronted a classmate who ridiculed an online posting of a rape survivor. "I said, 'Take it down'" — and the boy complied.
Survivors and victim advocates alike urge more education, not only for children, but for teachers and parents.
"Parents should be more involved in what kids are doing," said Garcia of KIPP. At the same time he conceded, "I wouldn't want my parents looking over my shoulder saying, 'What are you doing? What are you doing?'"
But, he said, knowing that his mother sometimes asks to see his Facebook page keeps him in check. "It is effective."

ATA 2012: Cisco Addresses Unique Needs of Nurses
"What I often feel today is, nurses nurse technology rather than nurse their patients."
So says Cisco Chief Nursing Officer Curtis Dikes, a registered nurse in his own right, whose job at Cisco is to change that.
At the American Telemedicine Association's 2012 meeting in San Jose, Dikes was kept fully engaged by attendees newly curious about Cisco technology and the customer-oriented thinking behind it.
"It's not about the technology," said Dikes during a break. "Technology is a conduit – part of the equation that enables a better care process."
Do nurses have unique workflow requirements that warrant special attention? Yes, said Dikes, past president of the American Nursing Informatics Association. "Nursing has its specifics just like medicine."
Dikes says medical organizations are especially sensitive today about implementing technology sensitively into clinical workflows. A new solution cannot complicate an existing process, and ideally should simplify it. Dikes performs top-to-bottom workflow analysis at customer sites, bringing nurses, managers, and IT interests together to inform Cisco product design.
"We engage IT and administrators and clinicians. Having been in the shoes of the clinician in the past, we understand what some of the care delivery issues are, but also what the business problems are."
"It all goes into technology redesign, so the new technology complements or improves the [nursing] process."

1+1=2 How To Get Distribution For Your Film/
Okay, this isn't the only answer, and I don't have the energy to do a comprehensive list, yet... but as I sorted through my various AM emails, a saw a common theme in two of them.
What saved Morris was a trip to the countryside: they organised a tour around the village halls of south-west England, where their film became a word-of-mouth hit. That allowed its makers to bypass the distributors and go straight to the exhibitors. Morris was finally picked up by the Picturehouse cinema chain, which agreed to roll it out on wider release, beginning last week.
"We just booked a week-long theatrical run in Philadelphia through Landmark for The New Year Parade and are going to see how that community-based release works for us. Will keep you posted!"

Discussion (22) ¬
Aw…Poor Sungod is remembering the past. I guess that's where he once was worshiped/lived?
It's with bosses like that you need to know when to cut your losses and run. Which, obviously, is after you get the shiny new grand temple, but before a rival order wipes it off the map.
Wonder how much longer lilith can keep up the run-around until they're onto her. She's bringing her playmates into the Prime with Eshita and her bunch, a jungle full o' big critters and who knows what else. The lilitu sisters were headed there, too. She might be leading them into a trap, why else would she bring them there? Looks like a pretty EXPLOSIVE confrontation is coming up!
Whoa! Mephi looks way different without his little glasses on.
Don't worry, ol' quick draw David will get it…
His pants will fall down without his belt buckle, too…
Pants? I thought he was a satyr type thing….
Hmmm, maybe your'e right. But i do remember him wearing a belt earlier, when lilith transported Laz back into thier clutches, and he bumped into Meph when he tried to run.
That rock Melech was looking at, a carving of the sun. And, he drops it the second MEPHI comes up to him, like Melech did'nt want him to see it., and it just happens to fit the square hole in the rune carving sticking up from the ground. Melech's not a member of Satan's fan club, either. Another clue, maybe?
The soundtrack for this conversation? A sad version of "Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me!"
Hey, Yknow…. Crowley is still hanging around in the underworld as a floaty-bird thing after he got served up for dinner. He got into the underworld by following Laz thru an open portal, i'm thinking he might follow this bunch into the Prime behind them. He's not one to give up, and getting control of Laz might be his way to get re-incarnated…….
I disapprove of Meph's face in this page. Sorry, I liked it a bit better when his jaw bone was completely intact.
Anyone else notice the little eyes in the background of the last panel? cx
Oh and great comic. My friend showed it to me. Loving it!!
Sure did. 4 sets of eyes, the lilitu sisters. Betcha Crowley's watching, too…..(that little black spot in the trees right above and behind lilith? Hmmmmm
Well I now know I fail at noticing little details. Failed to see both of them, though i did think Mephy was missing something when I first read it.
I just think it's way cool that David sticks these clues and hints in there, makes the story even more enjoyable!
thats what power will do to ya just end up wanting more tile it ruins you inpursuit of it .
The bird and the lava demon are actually pretty cute lookin in this page 😛
I'd say there's a good chance of Adramelech backing a play to unseat the Devil, assuming it ever gets off the ground. Gotta wonder how many others there are like him who fear where things're heading…
Poor chicken, he knows what the poster boy wants to deny.
do you think the devil will even let him rebuild
