The community of Crothersville has a new addition to their park system thanks to the idea and the hard work to create a new Remote Control (RC) track at the Crothersville Town Park.
On Monday night, January 20, at approximately 11:00 pm, the Indiana State Police responded to a single vehicle crash on US 31 near Commiskey Pike which resulted in the death of a Seymour man. The initial investigation by Trooper Korry Clark indicated that a 2004 Mazda 6 being driven by Robert Robbins, age 27, Seymour, Indiana was traveling northbound on US 31 near Commiskey Pike, approaching a sharp curve near the I-65 overpass. Robbins was unable to navigate the curve in the roadway. The vehicle left the roadway and struck a guardrail, ejecting Robbins from the vehicle. Robbins sustained fatal injuries in the crash. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by Jackson County Coroner Michael Bobb. The speed of the vehicle and alcoholic beverages are both believed to be contributing factors in the crash. Robbins was also not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. The investigation is ongoing. Trp. Clark was assisted by other troopers with the Indiana State Police, deputies with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, Jackson County EMS, Vernon Township Fire Department, the Jackson County Coroner's Office, and Westside Towing.
An Austin native is among the dozen best and brightest musicians who represented Indiana State Universityâ??s School of Music during the Presidentâ??s Concert on Jan. 29.
Jon Treadway, a freshman music performance major, performed piano for the concert at the Landini Center for Performing and Fine Arts. The students were selected to participate based on last semesterâ??s outstanding performances in each area of study.
A wide range of music was represented at this yearâ??s concert, including classical through contemporary era pieces and musical theater by composers such as Handel, Schubert, Brahms, Bartok and Richard Rogers.
Treadway performs with the Masterworks Chorale at Indiana State. He is a recipient of an Indiana State University Creative and Performing Arts Scholarship and the Eleanor Reid Justice Piano Scholarship.
Treadway was selected to perform in the 2016 Contemporary Music Festival Student Performer/Composer Recital. He plans are to participate in the Classical Music Festival Piano Seminar in Eisenstaedt, Austria, this summer.
He is the son of Tammy and John Treadway.
The concert was free and open to the public. A reception was provided by the Presidentâ??s Office immediately after the performances.

Background and activities
My research seeks to understand how demand for products and services, industrial activities, environmental pressures and environmental impacts are interconnected. In particular, I am interested in understanding the environmental implications of strategies to mitigate climate change, taking into consideration the life cycle of technologies and interconnections between technologies. The methods I use include life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmentally extended input-output analysis (EEIOA).

Tete de Lion
(410 views)Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
Description: Terracotta plaque with colored engobe and glaze. Stamped, marked and numbered "Madoura Plein Feu/Emprinte Originale de Picasso/118/3/50" on verso.
Condition Report: In Excellent Condition
Notes: While Picasso was most known for using the bull or minotaur as his animal symbol, the lion occasionally appeared in his oeuvre a well. By depicting a lion, the artist is making a statement about his courage and stregnth. The courage to break new ground in art with the invention of Cubism, the strength to constantly pursue new ways of creating art and at the age of 80, the courage to marry his second wife, Jacqueline, who was only 32 at the time! This lively, colorful and delightful terracotta plaque is colored with engobe, a form of painting in clay and glazed to preserve the luminosity of the colors. It's dramatic size allows the fine details in the work to shine. It is a rare work produced in only 50 examples. At the end of the 1940s, Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 18811973) started creating ceramic works. At the time, Picasso spent his summers on the Cote d'Azur in the South of France. Following earlier trips to the Riviera, where he was inspired by the clarity of the light and the bright Mediterranean colors, the artist visited Vallauris for the annual pottery exhibition in 1946. Impressed by the quality of the Madoura works, he was introduced to the owners, Suzanne and Georges Ramié, who welcomed him into their workshop, and gave him access to all the tools and resources he needed to express his creativity with ceramics. In exchange, the Ramié family would produce and sell his ceramic work. This collaboration with the local ceramicists spanned 25 years.
Dimensions: 12.25 x 12.25 inches
Artist or Maker: Picasso, Pablo

Extremely bad quality
By Em
from Maryland
Purchase Reason
I purchased the largest size and looking at the picture online the largest size was better quality than the small one. That is not the case in reality. The image was just pixelated to the point where I just couldn't give it to my bf as a anniversary gift. It was going to coast me so much to ship it back that it was not even worth it. Just have to say that I am super angry and that I would't even give the product 1 star!!

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Simulator
- Szenaris GmbH Delivers Virtual Reality Training System to the German Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Centre
The "Manipulator Vehicle Training Equipment" enables the control of virtual 3D models of the robots using the original control devices. In 13 virtual scenarios - e. g. at a car, in a bus, airplane or airport, on a tarmac or in commercial buildings - the trainer can place different suspicious objects, which the operator needs to find and dispose of with a manipulator vehicle.
Related Research on ASDReports.com:
International Military and Civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Survey
International Military and Civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Survey
The virtual vehicles behave absolutely realistic, since parameters such as tilting, driving dynamics, acceleration and braking or climbing and descent dynamics are realistically simulated. Furthermore, the system features high-quality, realistic graphics. This makes the training system interesting for all EOD staff that need to be trained for vehicles like "tEODor" or "PackBot" or that need to train to handle critical situations with those vehicles.

Some people want change Northern California from an idea into a thing.
One of these days there's gonna be some trouble.
There is one big problem with The Other Dan's definition of Northern California - it makes it seem as if Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco are the only parts of California that can truly be considered Northern California. After all, I live in a suburb of Sacramento and the air is polluted (although not as much as LA), the open spaces have been consumed by housing developments, and I still have yet to meet someone who isn't vapid or hollow around here. It only gets worse as you get further up north. Sure, the air is cleaner up there, and spaces sure are open, but the people are mostly hicks. After all, the far north of California is where the police dabbed pepper spray into the eyes of protesters with a Q-tip to make them shut up. The people there are conservative and scary.
While San Francisco and the larger Bay Area are considered to be Northern California, a glance at the map quickly dispells that notion. San Francisco lies nearly smack dab in the middle of California, as far as North and South are concerned. Recently there was a movement in (geographically) Northern California to adopt the name Upstate California for the counties north of Sacramento. Regardless of geographic squabbles, Northern California is more of an idea than a thing, and San Francisco (as well as the Bay Area as a whole) fits the description.

text: Medical News Sex Equally Satisfying With Circumcised Men: StudyJanuary 11, 2010 A newly published Ugandan study shows women report that sex is equally satisfying, if not more so, following their male partner's circumcision. Health experts hope the findings may help allay concerns across AIDS-hit Africa about the procedure, which previous research indicates reduces the risk of female-to-male HIV transmission by 50 to 60 percent. Dr. Ronald H. Gray, professor of population and family planning at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and colleagues interviewed 455 women ages 15-49 in Uganda before and after their husbands were circumcised as part of a randomized HIV prevention trial. Just 13 (2.9 percent) reported decreased satisfaction after their partner was circumcised. Of the remaining women, 255 (57 percent) reported no change in satisfaction and 177 (39.8 percent) reported greater satisfaction. Satisfaction differences were unrelated to age, religion or education level. The most common reason the women gave for increased satisfaction was better penile hygiene. Others included more frequent orgasms for the male partner; improved sexual desire of the male partner; the male partner had less difficulty maintaining an erection; and the woman achieved orgasm more frequently. Noted AIDS researcher Dr. Robert C. Bailey of the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, who was not involved in the study, called the findings "unique and important." "In eastern and southern Africa, the high prevalence of HIV infection is correlated with low rates of circumcision," noted Bailey. "If we can get a significant proportion of men circumcised, it will drop the prevalence of HIV over the next 10 to 20 years. Women's opinions of what circumcision does in terms of sexual function are really important in driving the demand" for the procedure. The study, "Sexual Satisfaction of Women Partners of Circumcised Men in a Randomized Trial of Male Circumcision in Rakai, Uganda," was published in BJU International (2009;doi: 10.1111/j.1464-410X.2009.08683.x).

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In the last several years, there has been an explosion in the number of workers who use their own personal mobile devices to perform work functions (commonly referred to as "Bring Your Own Device" or "BYOD"). In fact, according to a study conducted last year by tech giant Cisco, approximately 90% of all workers say they use their own personal smartphones, tablets or laptops in some work-related capacity, whether the practice is officially endorsed by their employers or not. A number of factors have contributed to this trend, including the enormous popularity of personal mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices in general, advances in technology that have made using such devices relatively easy and more intuitive, and the focused marketing of personal devices as potential business tools.
Though the statistics show that the practice of BYOD is widespread across American business, surprisingly, only about 30% of employers have formal BYOD policies in place that provide guidance for employees to follow when it comes to using their personal devices for work purposes. Such policies are especially important given the risks and challenges that come along with BYOD.
One of the most obvious challenges associated with BYOD is the inherent lack of control an employer has over an employee's personal mobile devices. This lack of control can lead to increased data breaches, privacy violations, and exposure to viruses, malware, and data theft. Compounding these risks is the fact that almost half of all workers that utilize their own personal devices for work admit to not even taking the most basic security precautions, such as using password protection on their devices. Another obvious challenge concerns the potential for overtime violations that can occur when an employee is using their own personal electronic devices to perform work. In fact, in just the last couple years, there have been multiple lawsuits initiated by non-exempt employees who claim they are entitled to overtime pay for the time spent reviewing and responding to business e-mails on their personal devices during non-work hours.
Even with these risks, there are a number of reasons why businesses should embrace BYOD. For one, BYOD is generally more cost effective than the traditional arrangement where the company provides and manages all hardware devices. Studies also suggest that, on average, employees who use mobile devices for both work and their personal lives perform approximately 240 more hours of work per year than those who do not. At the same time, employees are reporting that they feel more satisfied and empowered by being able to use their own electronic devices at work and the flexibility that BYOD affords them.
Whether or not you believe that the benefits outweigh the risks, it does not appear BYOD is going anywhere in the near future. Accordingly, employers should adopt comprehensive BYOD plans to mitigate potential security risks and legal liability that naturally comes along with employees utilizing personal mobile devices to perform work tasks. At a minimum, every BYOD plan should address three core components:
Technology and Software. Mobile device software exists that allows employers to enforce security policies, manage password controls, manage the installation of applications and programs, and remotely wipe devices or preserve important data when necessary. If employees will be handling sensitive information regularly, then such software tools must be considered as part of a comprehensive plan to limit security breaches.
Policies and Practices. A written industry-specific BYOD policy should be implemented that identifies the devices supported by the company's network, establishes security protocols that must be followed by employees, and makes clear that business information contained on personal devices is the property of the company and that there is no expectation of privacy related to such information. The BYOD policy should be signed by the employee and included in their personnel file.
Employee Education. A BYOD plan is of little use if employees are not aware of its existence or do not understand what is required of them as it relates to using personal mobile devices in the workplace. Accordingly, employees should receive periodic training on the company's BYOD practices and policies. In addition, employees should be required to sign updated acknowledgments from time-to-time that spells out their ongoing obligations under the company's BYOD plan.
Before implementing any BYOD plan, employers would be wise to consult skilled legal counsel to ensure that the full gamut of compliance-related issues has been considered and addressed. As others have learned the hard way, getting caught flat-footed could have catastrophic consequences.

By Danielle Nierenberg and Bernard Pollack, Borderjumpers
People told us not to visit Madagascar, Africa — that political conflict made the country unsafe for tourists. But we decided to go anyway because the best and most eye-opening experiences always occur in places well off the beaten path. And wouldn't you know, we fell in love with Anantanrivo, Madagascar's capital city.
The narrow streets and alleyways to explore this mythical in Africa, with the cobblestone roads and beautiful historic buildings reminding you at times of parts of Western Europe. At the same time, the busy markets, the noise, the traffic, and the goats and livestock walking along the highways — these are all quintessentially African.
We didn't see a lot of tourists and the country's economy is hurting as a result. Empty bars, restaurants, and markets are everywhere. With that said, the people are not only friendly and welcoming, but extraordinarily kind, willing to go out of their way to share their culture, and excited for the chance to practice their English (while we practiced our pathetic French).
Agricultural alternatives in Africa
Our journey started with a field visit with the organization, Reggio Turzo Mundo (RTM). RTM is an Italian NGO, working with farmers to provide alternatives to slash and burn agriculture—which is practiced in many rural areas as a way to provide nutrients to the soil. Unfortunately, the nutrients don't last more than a season or two, forcing farmers to burn more forest.
Later we met with a coordinator for the National Center of Applied Research for Rural Development, and organization that works with rural rice farmers, helping develop different breeds of rice to reduce the labor, fertilizer, and other inputs needed to cultivate this importantagricultural staple.
Celebrating with Lemurs
We spent Danielle's birthday trekking through the rainforest in search of lemurs in Antanarivo's national rainforest. Lemurs are only found in Madagascar (and the island of Comoros) largely because their ancestors were displaced by monkeys and apes everywhere else.
In Madagascar, 90 percent of the country's original forest has been destroyed and lemurs are presently endangered due to their loss of habitat and hunting. Several species of lemurs are already extinct, especially the larger species. The smaller lemurs are nocturnal and we could see were their amazing red eyes on the night trek. We also got up close and personal with some very large chamelons, turtles and giant snails.
During the day we saw lemurs traveling as families and eating flowers, leaves and fruits. In our video, you will see them playing. They're pretty incredible animals with opposable thumbs and long tails that they use to balance themselves between trees.
Where to stay in Madagaskar
If you plan to visit Antananarivo, Madagascar, no matter the budget, we recommend strongly that you stay at Hotel Sakamanga. At only $25.00 USD per night, you'll get a clean room with a fan, a well pressured shower with hot water, a safety box, a TV with a surprising number of movie channels (although all are in French), free Wi-Fi, and a room with great decor and atmosphere. But that is just the beginning: you'll want to eat the $5.00 USD lunch buffet every day. The restaurant is affordable and delicious (but you should splurge on the desserts). And the front desk will help you with anything from a wake-up call to providing a trustworthy guide to take you on a multi-day trip to track lemurs.
The hotel is in the heart of the city and in walking distance from plenty of fun bars and places to eat, a DSL internet cafe, and lots of places to buy souvenirs. Whether your budget is $25.00 USD per night or $150.00 USD, we recommend staying at the Sakamanga Hotel.
Getting to Madagascar
It's fairly straight-forward to get to Antanarivo from Johannesburg. You can choose between three airlines that are roughly the same price: Air Madagascar, Air Mauritius, and South African Airways (about $300.00 USD, roundtrip).

Unemployment versus Mismatch of Talents: Reconsidering Unemployment Benefits
We develop an equilibrium search-matching model with risk-neutral agents and two-sided ex-ante heterogeneity. Unemployment insurance has the standard effect of reducing employment, but also helps workers to get a suitable job. The predictions of our simple model are consistent with the contrasting performance of the labour market in Europe and the United States in terms of unemployment, productivity growth and wage inequality. To show this, we construct two fictitious economies with calibrated parameters which only differ by the degree of unemployment insurance and assume that they are hit by a common technological shock which enhances the importance of mismatch. This shock reduces the proportion of jobs that workers regard as acceptable in the economy with unemployment insurance (Europe). As a result, unemployment doubles in this economy. In the laissez-faire economy (United States), unemployment remains constant, but wage inequality increases more and productivity grows less due to larger mismatch. The model can be used to address a number of normative issues.

The merger of the Angerstein and Delian Lloyd's investment funds earlier this month suggests a new realism is entering what, in stock market terms, is something of a cottage industry. The new group, boasting net assets of pounds 112m, will rank as number two in the sector behind London Insurance Market Investment Trust. As well as enhanced clout in the market, the combination should give economies of scale, with around 30 per cent expected to be shaved off total costs by 1997.
The merger comes as the market background is showing distinct signs of improvement. Although not out of the woods, the future of Lloyd's is looking more secure than it has for some time, following May's pounds 2.8bn rescue plan for names, the market's traditional backers. From the point of view of corporate investors, the new deal strengthens the "ring fence" between Lloyd's mammoth liabilities up to 1992 and subsequent years. The promise is that new investors will not have to foot the bill for past problems, in exchange for a levy likely to amount to 1.5 per cent of underwriting "capacity" taken on by participants in the market.
Tthe trading environment is also improving. Profits for the market are declared three years in arrears, but 1993 and 1994 are expected to show surpluses of around pounds 1bn. The current year should be similar. Investors looking to cash in on Lloyd's new-found success have the problem that the market's accounting system denies them access to real figures for several years. Figures yesterday from Syndicate Capital, one of the smaller trusts, demonstrate the problem. Pre-tax profits up from pounds 552,000 to pounds 1.44m for the year to June were all derived from the investment of the group's funds.
However, figures from brokers UBS show that most of the funds are standing at a discount to estimated net asset value. Future prospects are heavily dependent on how the Lloyd's rescue plan unfolds and on future claims. Nonetheless, investors could do worse than take a look at CLM Insurance and New London Capital, which combine some of the chunkiest discounts with reasonable size.
City split on market direction
If you are confused about the stock market, currently within a few points of its all-time high, you are not alone. The City has also been split by a barrage of conflicting signals.
Topping the list of bearish signs has been a consistent trend over the summer towards downgrades of earnings forecasts by analysts. Hoare Govett says these have been outnumbering upgrades by two to one. The bad news has been confirmed by a flood of profits warnings from large companies.
Recent economic statistics add weight to the pessimistic view. Unemployment rose in July, unit wage costs increased by 2.5 per cent in the second quarter over a year earlier and input prices increased as last year's commodity price rises fed through the system.
Stock-building has also emerged as a key issue during the summer with some companies seeing demand for their products fall off a cliff after weaker-than-expected domestic spending left retailers with record stocks relative to their sales.
All that said, bulls take heart from a number of fairly compelling arguments. James Capel recently took a heroically contrarian view of earnings prospects, suggesting the full effects of cost-cutting since the recession were yet to show through fully. Consumer spending is also set to receive a boost on two fronts. First the expected shake-up of the building society sector should result in a sizeable windfall. Any tax cuts in the November Budget would further increase disposable incomes.
But the most important factor determining the direction of stock markets is arguably the proportion of cash in institutional investors' portfolios. Inflows into pension funds and life assurance companies will probably exceed pounds 32bn this year, with a further pounds 8bn pouring into unit trusts.
Add to that the proceeds of cash takeovers, which have already exceeded pounds 15bn so far this year, and institutions have record amounts of cash at their disposal. With the new issues market in the doldrums and the public sector borrowing requirement falling rapidly, other calls on insitutional cash are historically low.
The bulls and bears are more finely balanced than for some time - but, despite a yield now below 4 per cent and increasing political risk, the recent run looks to have some steam left in it yet.

Phoenix Indie-Rock Band Knesset Is Big in Japan
Released last year, Coming of Age is an appropriate title for Knesset's first album, as the band is only now starting to step up locally. Pronounced KA-NESS-ET and named after the legislative branch of the Israeli government, these locals have played in the background of Phoenix since 2007.
"[Originally] we wouldn't play shows that often," explains Knesset's frontman Evan Fox. "We'd play shows, see what worked or what didn't and we'd stop for a few months, which is probably a terrible idea, which is why things are just now starting to pick up."
Knesset is scheduled to perform Friday, March 23 at Crescent Ballroom.
Their debut merges shoegaze textures with pop melodies reminiscent of early Death Cab For Cutie and The Appleseed Cast, maybe even with some Blonde Redhead. It's as warming as it is chilling, with enough post-rock fuzz and fuss mood for a really slow night.

Coming of Age was released on the Japanese label & Records (home of Camera Obscura and Bibio) and was published through Rough Trade in the UK, yet Knesset really just want to bring their album home. Fox realized after a tour in Japan last January, Phoenix should be his next target.
"Crazed fans, people asking for my autograph, sold-out shows. [Japan] was crazy," Fox laughs. "It inspired me because if people care that much somewhere else, I feel like people here need to hear this."
That's the plan anyway - and that's not the only idea Knesset's scheming up. Drummer Mike Bell, also of Lymbyc Systym and The Books, has been a core member of the band, but he's been distracted with touring, even once going around with Crystal Castles.
Anyway, now Knesset have introduced Brock Lefferts to fill in when and where Bell can't. Lefferts is noted for his solo instrumental work in A Cloud For Climbing, which is something like if Four Tet released a music box.
"Eric, our bassist, was like, I really think [Lefferts] has some potential," Fox recalls. "I've listened to his stuff and followed him on Tumblr. So we jammed and it was like I had found my musical soulmate again. Brock has so much vision and he's not jaded yet; he's a young musician. He's just really good and I'm looking forward to playing and collaborating with both of them on this EP."
Oh, that's right, the band has a new EP they're crafting, to be tentatively launched in May or June. For now, the only thing you'll have to listen to is Coming of Age - and it'll grow on you. It was mixed by John Congleton, the producer and engineer for ensembles like Black Mountain, St. Vincent, The Walkmen and most noticeably, Explosions in the Sky.
"[Congleton] added a lot of that dynamic, that explosive sounding element to the record," Fox says. "I tried to do it anyway, but he killed it."

When I launched my new website in 2013, I lingered on the amount of visitors and the number of "likes" that I received on Facebook. I felt vulnerable doing this, but I yearned to know that my new project mattered. Yet, if I was really being honest with myself, I know that I wanted to alleviate my feelings of inadequacy and fears of being seen as simply "ordinary."
Why do I have such reservations of seeming ordinary? It is because in my teens and early twenties, I was discipled by my church and pastors to live life boldly and impact the world for Christ. This is why I served children in the inter-city of Chicago, traveled to the border of North Korea, and gave away shoes and clothes to those who needed it. I even worked as the Children's Minister for three-years and eventually went to seminary school. Now, my days are spent in the suburbs, driving a mini-van, and raising two kids whose lives are on a set schedule. For me, the monotonous lifestyle is challenging because it requires me to go deep inside and be mindful about how to be kind to my children, husband, and even people at the grocery store. During my training to be a radical Christian, I was never told about living an ordinary lifestyle or how it should be done.
Christian women are always being told about their place in society and in the home. I love my young children and being married, but I often have days of feeling underappreciated or that I am not doing enough with my life. On those days, I have been known to numb the pain with chocolate even though it only pacifies the feelings for a temporary amount of time. When I was feeling that my ordinary life was not good enough or that I was not doing enough, I had to force myself to be aware of those hurtful lies and change my thinking about my season in life. I realized there was nothing wrong with being known as ordinary or doing ordinary things. According to Luther, "ordinary works, done in faith and from faith, are more precious than heaven and earth." Ordinary does not equate to "not being good enough." In the Bible, God chose the ordinary and imperfect people to do amazing things for Him. Moses lacked the confidence to speak when he had to confront Pharaoh and deliver the people from slavery. David was just an ordinary shepherd boy who was chosen to be the future king. Despite flaws or seeming common, God can see the high worth of individuals. The number of Facebook or Twitter followers should not measure what a person can do or their value. God says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2).
I miss the days of being radical for Christ, but my priorities altered because I have young children in the home. Though I do not always enjoy the mundane work of laundry or cooking, my eyes have been opened by my wonderful church community, and by the women in Redbud Writers Guild, whose lives have been dedicated to serving others through prayer, mentoring, and encouragement. Their faithfulness has made a difference in my life and has also taught me the real meaning of koinonia.
As Helen Lee reminds me in The Missional Mom, "I can be a purposeful mother, one who not only loves her kids but who wants to make a difference in the world." I know this is my season of being a mother to young children, so I embrace it and all the challenges that come with raising a family. Though I feel it is ordinary at times, I want to look back at this period and know that I tried my best to make it a well-lived Christian life. I have made mistakes with my words or reacted when I should have comforted, but in the midst of my flaws as a mom, my children know they are my priority and I love them. I still hope that someday, there will be a time when I can ignite the fire or be part of a revolution, but for now I will bask in the comfort of my middle-class mini-van and enjoy the weekly play dates. Yes, my life is a bit ordinary, but I serve an extraordinary God and He makes living good.

In the early part of 1865, after an extended discussion and various proposals, it was decided by Sokol Prague to hold a Sokol costume ball. Fügner proclaimed: "It has to be a real Sokol costume ball". Then he turned to Tyrš: "You should find some appropriate name for it". Tyrš searched Jungmann dictionary; he discarded first few ideas. Then he discovered the verb Šibřiti. In the past it originated from imitation of sparrows' song, and later it stood for practical joking and clowning. From there it was just a short step for designating the Sokol costume ball Šibřinky.
Fügner himself took charge, with enthusiastic help of Gabriel Žižka, who had organized various balls in the past. Fuegner sent out invitations, which caused excitement by their unusual form: icon lůp o cenok YKNIŘBIŠ 5681 aronú 52 end alokos ohéksžarp ěnčivcolět v ěnidoh 7 o ketáčaz (in English: thgindim ta gnidne YKNIŘBIŠ 5681 yraurbef 52 lokos eugarp fo llah eht ni kcolc'o 7 ta gnitrats). Some were angry and others were laughing that they did not immediately recognized that they must read the invitation from right to left. Some even suggested that it was in Turkish or Hungarian.
In the evening of 25th February 1865 the entire Sokol hall neighborhood was full of spectators. In front of the Sokol hall were guards with torches. As the carriages carrying the masked guests pulled up to the entrance, they were greeted by an imposing bear.
The inside was fully decorated and the entire main hall became a mass of whirling masked dancers. Fuegner was strolling through in a velvet costume of a mafioso. Tyrš transformed himself into a Spanish hidalgo.
The event was a great success, and the tradition of šibřinky is being continued to this day. It was also enthusiastically continued by the American Sokol Units, many of which still hold this dance annually, even though the origin and meaning of the name is not known to most of its members.

On board?

I don't make decisions based on demos or vaporware. Let me play with one and then I'll let you know if I'm on board. So far I'm still more excited by Vivaldi but I certainly wouldn't rule out Ubuntu/Unity. |
nmset Feb 21, 2013 1:00 PM EDT |
It would make sense for me if it's hackable, i.e, if we can completely replace the root image as we do on a desktop PC, and as we can do on the PengPod device, not necessarily with another distro. If it's just to look at a beautiful device with beautiful icons and accessing stuff like videos and so called social services, I don't care. I want to do work with it, For example, I want to be able to install a full fledged Apache OpenOffice on it, install printers and do real work. That would be helpful. The PengPod I just received lets me do that, it's a real Desktop PC in my pocket. We can criticize that device for lacking one critical feature which is Suspend/Resume, and to be difficult to boot at times. But I'm confident the company behind it in Florida may propose better devices in a near future. It's the only tablet I know with a full Linux Desktop in your pocket. If Canonical can do same or better, I'll buy one, yes. |
Fettoosh Feb 21, 2013 1:23 PM EDT |
@nmset, Then you want distro like Kubuntu as demosteated here or Kubuntu updated or KDE Plasma Active |
nmset Feb 21, 2013 2:45 PM EDT |
I tried Plasma Active 2 on the PengPod from the linaro repos. It was quite disappointing. It is as heavy as Plasma Desktop and Plasma Netbook, it still requires a lot of resources and becomes quickly unresponsive. It's for multicore devices with _at_least_ 2 GB RAM. The UI is not what suits me neither, great for popular usage, no really to do work. Plasma Netbook should be more suitable as a traditional desktop on a high-end tablet. Now Plasma Active 3 and the coming Plasma Active 4 need to be evaluated. |
Jeff91 Feb 21, 2013 3:30 PM EDT |
@nmset how "hack able" a given device is really depends 100% on the hardware powering it and not on the operating system. The reason the Pengpod is such a great device is because the A10 chipset that powers it is fairly Linux friendly (unlike most ARM hardware to date). I've done some work with Bodhi on the A10 based MK802 - I really need to get my hands on one of the tablets so I can do some porting. E17 runs well on the MK802 though, so I'd assume it would work fine on the Pengpod as well. ~Jeff |

I have a pre order on the vivaldi, for 2. I also very excited about the Ubuntu phone, and it it arrives first, I will have to seriously consider cutting my losses and getting it. |
gary_newell Feb 21, 2013 5:53 PM EDT |
Ubuntu phone might be my next phone when it is time to upgrade. I've never been excited by tablets. For me they are just glorified youtube players. give me a keyboard and mouse any day. |

Jim Tressel's Ohio State Buckeyes play football any style you choose.
If you like it close to the vest, the Buckeyes will go to war with you in the trenches. If you want to open it up and pass, the Buckeyes will stretch the field and throw the bomb. If you prefer a game of strategy, Tressel, his coaches and players will out-think you.
We don't know yet if the Buckeyes are the best team in college football - that will be determined at the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 3 - but we do know they're 12-0 heading into Saturday's dream matchup against Michigan at Ohio Stadium.
OSU can play any style, and so far the Buckeyes have played at a higher level than their opponents.
Illinois, which had designs of handing Ohio State its first loss of the season, learned that lesson yesterday in a 23-16 overtime loss.
You can justifiably argue that the Buckeyes were fortunate to win. Illinois moved the ball up and down the field the entire second half. But that's the way Ohio State plays.
In outlasting Illinois, the Buckeyes followed a familiar script that also carried them to wins over Penn State, Wisconsin and Purdue.
If you watched Ohio State's seven-point victory yesterday, I'm sure you stepped away from your television wondering how they did it.
Yes, the Buckeyes survived. But they won because they did a little bit of everything.
They played tough in the trenches, they threw a bomb to score a clutch touchdown in the second half, they always seemed to be one step ahead of Illinois' players, plus they made a huge defensive stop on the final play to preserve the victory.
Before Tressel arrived last season, the rap on the Buckeyes was that they were supposed to be weak under pressure and lacking a fighter's heart.
Yesterday, the Buckeyes kept getting up and fighting. They made big play after big play, countering a gritty and emotional effort by underdog Illinois.
The Buckeyes matched Illinois' first two scores in the second half with scores of their own, never allowing Illinois to gain the upper-hand emotionally.
All game, Illinois stayed with Ohio State. Illinois trailed by just 6-3 at intermission.
But even in the first half you could sense that Illinois would have trouble beating the Buckeyes.
On top of everything else, on top of the talented players and the coach who always keeps his cool, on top of winning once again without freshman running back Maurice Clarett, the Buckeyes are blessed with an extraordinary measure of mental toughness.
Still, it's hard to watch the Buckeyes play and not wonder how they continue to pull out game after game as they did yesterday.
The Buckeyes didn't win because of some miracle play or magical coaching strategy.
They won because they did what all good teams do when the moment of truth arrives. The Buckeyes executed better than their opponent.
Call it superior coaching, good karma, luck - whatever. For better or worse, it's working in Columbus.
A couple more performances like yesterday's and the nation's No. 2 team may establish itself as the nation's best.

NYC's Top HIV Official Ducks Forum on Graphic AIDS CampaignFebruary 24, 2011
Dr. Monica Sweeney, the city's assistant commissioner for HIV/AIDS prevention and control, did not speak, as scheduled, at last night's community forum about a controversial HIV campaign that has angered AIDS activists. The forum was organized by Gay Men's Health Crisis. Spurred by the release of a visually jarring Department of Health anti-AIDS campaign, the meeting's goal was to open a discussion about effective ways to construct HIV prevention messages. Sweeney, who up until now has been the public face of the defense of the campaign, was slated to speak on the panel, but sent the DOH's Dr. Blayne Cutler in her stead. In December, the city health department launched a video featuring bloody anuses and rotten bones, designed to teach young men to use condoms to avoid HIV. The piece aired on TV for two months. Much of the local (and national) AIDS and LGBT community harshly criticized the ad, arguing that it increases stigma and discourages testing. Since, the city has rolled out a subway poster version of the campaign. At the forum, Cutler, DOH's director of HIV prevention, defended the city: "Through our focus groups, young men said to us ... 'You need to be direct, you need to be hard-hitting. So this is the approach we've taken." But a number of panelists and audience members -- many of them living with HIV -- continued to attack the campaign's sinister tone, questioning its efficacy in changing behavior, the validity of the statistics presented, and the choice of a bloody anus as imagery. "I think you can be honest without scaring the crap out of people," said Oriol Gutierrez, deputy editor at POZ Magazine and HIV-positive for 20 years. Meanwhile, Natalie Wittlin, project coordinator at Columbia's Department of Sociomedical Sciences, has launched a petition calling on the DOH to halt the campaign. Sign on. Editor Kellee Terrell of the Body.com criticized the ad's tactics last night. This article was provided by Housing Works. It is a part of the publication Housing Works AIDS Issues Update.

newbie nutrition questions
newbie nutrition questions
alright. i posted another thread in dieting because im having a rough time making gains and losing weight. I have very little muscle mass and about 20% bf so im working out to shape my muscle and burn some fat at the same time. I know there are different views on bulking/cutting at the same time, but as a beginner (moderate beginner, i worked out consistently about 4 years ago. weighed 180 with 11%bf). anyway i feel like i am making no improvements here.
am: 8oz v8, 2 boiled egg whites, 2 slices plain multigrain toast
snack1: tuna wrap (1 can),
lunch: chicken (baked breast) and brown rice (1/4cup) with mixed vegtables, 8oz skim milk
snack2: muscle milk (8oz musclemilk light)
dinner: fish (1fillet tilapia/mahimahi), veggies, brown rice (1/4c),2tsp olive oil
snack3: 2 scoops muscle milk in 8oz skim milk (68g)
im going nowhere, guys. Its been two weeks, and as a flabby skinny dude, i feel like i should see SOME improvement by now. so, if you paitently read through all my babble, i have a few questions i cant find solid answers to.
1. Carbs- complex carbs (multigrain bread and brown rice)
-are these carbohydrates building fat? I have a steady carb intake throughout the day, and im worried about not burning them as energy and them being stored as fat. should i cut out carbs after 8pm and only consume them before and after a workout?
2. Unsat fats-
-i consume about 14g monounsats and 5g polyunsats. too much?
3. Protein-
-this diet is high in protein, and i dont know how much i need and how much i am storing as fat. How many grams should i get? I have it steady at 1.5g per lb of bodyweight.
4. nighttime snack
- i fear carbs at night, in case they turn into fat. I also am starving at night, my stomach sounds like a diesel engine. should I eat another meal and make it 7, or deal with the hunger?
yeah, im new at this. - 02-07-2010, 09:27 PM
Height? Weight? Avg Daily Calorie intake?
Looking at this right away I can say less muscle milk more whole foods. Its probably not going to be convenient, but your wallet will feel heavier.
Its difficult to give suggestions if you don't know your maintenance calories and the actual amount of calories you're consuming daily. Some people might bash on the milk but IMO opinion there is nothing wrong with it. Personally i'm not partial to fruit juices because they are quite high in sugar and fructose when all things are considered. -
I would go with losing that fat first, then build your muscle up after. If you are looking for fast results.
Cut your cals to 1800 - 2000 a day (alter this depends on how cruddy you feel after a couple of days, you might need more than this)
If you are impatient (and I don't really advocate this but hey) Throw in 2 x Biotest Hotrox Extreme with breakfast and again 2 with lunch (it worked for me)
Keep protein high, fats good (evoo/peanut butter/nuts/oily fish), carbs complex and no beer/processed meat macburger crap.
Add some running / biking / lifting / skiing whatever and make sure that you drink a whole load of water.
Then take a picture in the bathroom mirror..............do the same after 8 - 12 weeks of this and hopefully smile a lot.
Once you are smaller and leaner, then work on lifting heavier, eating more and building your muscles up. - 02-08-2010, 04:03 PM
so you are against naturally derived vitamin rich fruit juices and for pasteurized, over medicated w/ hormones, genetically modified, forced out of the cow at a rate 10 times normal..milk??
sure if you live on a farm and can get clean milk from a normal cow with good feed, milk is good. but the stuff that you get at the store is so overprocessed its not worth it.
no offense to you or milk. I just dont like when people write off fruit because of its fructose content. generations of people in many countries have grown up eating massive amounts of fruit, and dont have a fraction of the body fat or diseases that our super advanced milk drinking country has. - 02-09-2010, 10:00 AM

EDIT: Here's a thread where Seth Roberts goes into some detail about fructose metabolism which pretty much sums up why a high intake of fructose isn't a good thing.
I can't wrap my head around... -
well first off you sound too impatient. this is a marathon, not a sprint and two weeks is nothing. Your diet looks pretty good, but i'd encourage you to either bulk, or cut. You can't effectively do both at the same time. At least not optimally imo.
you need to find your BMR. just google it, there are calculators. Not perfect, but it'll give you an idea. for bulking, way over your bmr in caloric intake, not so extreme opposite for cutting.
I recommend whey protein for all scenarios except pre-sleep. Eat those boiled eggs before bed. Eggs are much slower digesting protein then whey, this helps to curb catabolism at night. (*body eating muscle for protein during a fasting period with nothing to digest at night) Cottage cheese works well too. I like putting either some yogurt or sunflower seeds with mine.
*trust the mirror, not the scale. staring at the scale every day will drive you nuts. You need pics, maybe even measurements consistantly to monitor progress. Not to mention how you feel. Eating better and excercising should make quite an improvement in your overall general well being. More energy, etc.
*the other guy said cut then build. I say the opposite. Build then cut. - 02-10-2010, 11:51 PM

Talk:Gamma-ray spectrometer
WikiProject Spectroscopy | (Rated Start-class) | ||||||||||||||||
This article's title is severely misleading. Gamma-ray spectrometry is a widespread technique in fundamental nuclear physics under conditions having almost nothing to do with the application featured in this article, other than use of some of the same hardware. A different, more descriptive title should be found. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 04:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly what I was thinking. Most of the current material should be made a subsection of this article (under "applications") or even split out into a different article (something like Gamma ray spectrometry in space exploration). —Keenan Pepper 02:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Gamma-ray spectrometry is also used for remote sensing for distribution of thorium, potassium and uranium on the Earth's surface, in fields such as geology and environmental science.Afrotrance 03:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. Confusing title. Should be a disambiguation at the least between generic gamma ray spectrometers and this specific GRS (which also appears to measure neutrons)Judge Nutmeg 04:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I have attempted to remedy this problem somewhat by writing a more general introductory paragraph, and making the planetary application a section with subsections. I have also added a general section on gamma-ray spectroscopy with a link to the article, and also a section on astronomical gamma-ray experiments which lists some (but by no means all) of these flown in space, with a few links. These are still all space applications, so numerous laboratory applications in nuclear and particle physics, industry (oil well-logging), etc are still left out. Probably the gamma-ray spectroscopy article needs to have its strictly instrumental material moved here, and be expanded with sections to cover data analysis, scientific applications, etc. Wwheaton
Note also that the title of article suggests it should be focussed narrowly on experiments and instrumental techniques. (talk) 21:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
The hyphen: gamma-ray vs gamma ray[edit]
Note that it is standard to hyphenate the adjective, but not the noun. Thus, "gamma-ray astronomy", but "high-energy gamma rays". (Similarly for X rays and cosmic rays, of course.) Wwheaton (talk) 21:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
An organizational suggestion?[edit]
The organization of this article needs improvement, in my opinion. The organization problem is not simplified by the existence of a parallel article, gamma-ray spectroscopy, which overlaps with it a good deal. On the other hand, we do have quite a bit of good material, it's just somewhat scattered, and having useful material helps.
I am thinking that it might be best to put the instrumental information into this, "Gamma-ray spectrometer" article, including general types (eg, scintillators and solid state detectors, etc), design issues and problems, detector response matrices, with links out to details of specific instrumental instances that are representative, or examples of the current state-of-the-art.
Then on the other hand, let the "Gamma-ray spectroscopy" article be more general: overview of what gamma-ray spectroscopy is about, its history, nuclear line sources, continuum sources, applications and research areas in nuclear physics, medicine, astrophysics, health physics, and environmental protection, forensics, weapons detection and interdiction, data analysis, and overall systems design in which the detector itself is just a component of the whole, etc (obviously not in the above order; I'm just typing as they come to mind).
Does this overall scheme sound like a good idea? My central idea is just to move material around to fit the existing article titles more accurately, and then try to improve the organization within each of those two articles, with the notion that the subject of detector hardware and technology is so big it does really need a dedicated article anyhow, so that the partition between "detector hardware" and "everything else" may make sense.
Based on previous experience, I don't really expect a huge amount of response to this comment, but after a decent interval I may just take off on it if I hear no objections or better suggestions. I plan to post a similar message on the talk page of the other article. Thanks Wwheaton (talk) 05:19, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Priest Holmes is still the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time leading rusher and leader in touchdowns. By that measure alone, Holmes is worthy of inclusion in the Chiefs' Hall of Fame.
But Holmes, announced by the Chiefs on Saturday as this year's entrant to their Hall of Fame, is deserving for many other reasons. The Chiefs had some great offensive teams for many of Holmes' seasons (2001-07) in Kansas City. They had the pass-catching tight end in Tony Gonzalez, an efficient quarterback in Trent Green, an underrated wide receiver in Eddie Kennison and a great set of blockers, but the package wasn't complete without Holmes. That showed in the final game of the 2002 season when the Chiefs and their high-scoring offense, playing for a postseason berth but without the injured Holmes, were shut out by the Oakland Raiders.
Holmes also caught the ball well. He led the Chiefs in receiving in two of his seasons when the Chiefs went his way more than that of Gonzalez. Holmes wasn't merely an outlet receiver, one the opponent felt comfortable leaving uncovered in the flat. He could and would line up wide, run a good route and beat coverage to make a play.
His signature plays, though, were ones that featured Holmes in the open field. He had great vision and patience for letting the blocks develop in front of him, so Holmes was a natural on sweeps and screens. Even if that's exclusively how he was used by the Chiefs, Holmes would still have been a useful player.
But Holmes' game was complete. Now the Chiefs' Hall of Fame is complete with Holmes as a member.
