The Bridge
Where will we find the next generation of technical experts? That question is deliberated in standards conferences all over the world and in standards organizations everywhere. It is this community's perpetual challenge, its ongoing quest for continuity. For ASTM International, the answer to that question was a matter of building a bridge.
"Tomorrow's technical experts are in a university somewhere. Our future is in college." That is from a PlainTalk article I wrote in 2003, the year that ASTM International instituted student memberships.1 In 2007, ASTM included educators in its academic outreach program, and in 2009 it established the Professor of the Year Award for instructors who could demonstrate the use of ASTM standards in their teaching. By 2011, ASTM's outreach message had connected standardization to career paths because professionals in fields ranging from marketing to diplomacy were required to be conversant in standards issues, a subject heretofore reserved for technical experts.
This year, we have dedicated staff to conduct surveys, Web conferences and telephone interviews in an effort to determine what employers expect entry-level personnel to know about standards. They will also examine best practices in academia and evaluate what resources and mechanisms exist to prepare students for entry into the work force.
This is also the year in which we stress the symbiotic nature of our academic projects, joint ventures that benefit both ASTM International and its student partners. Consider, for instance, the 2014 Focus on Academic Research campaign, which assists students in building technical and problem-solving skills and makes new information available to the standardization process through the ASTM Student Member Paper Competition. With winners slated to present their papers at one of the 2014 fall ASTM committee week meetings, the competition will offer fresh perspectives to ASTM technical committees.
The ASTM International Project Grant Program will offer five $500 grants this year for senior or graduate design projects that contain an ASTM International standards component. The resulting research will be published on the ASTM website.
This year, three $10,000 scholarships will be awarded to high achieving graduate students who have demonstrated interest or involvement with ASTM standards. One Ph.D. candidate's application included a vivid example of how ASTM standards connected his book research to real-world design and hands-on experience. He called ASTM standards the "bridge." With the help of his professor, a past winner of the ASTM Professor of the Year Award, he submitted a new method for ballot as a complement to an existing standard of Committee D30 on Composite Materials.
ASTM International continues supporting the WISE (Washington Internships for Students of Engineering) program this year, a paid 10-week summer internship in Washington, D.C., during which students learn how technology impacts public policy and prepare a paper on a topic of current public policy interest. The ASTM-sponsored student's WISE paper will examine how standards can be used to support an adequate supply of safe water.
We had not thought of our academic outreach program as a bridge. That term was coined by a student. I think it symbolizes the associations we are building with the students who will fill our ranks and carry on the ASTM tradition of developing the world's best standards. The next generation will give as good as it gets. Or better.
1. There are currently more than 5,000 ASTM International student members from 70 countries.

It started in a small Russian town, a shetel, called Sadogora. This Ukrainian village had become a hotbed of Jewish tradition. As the melody grew and explanded through the centuries and words were added, it became an instantly recognizable melody - a virtual musical shorthand for anything Jewish. It's a happy party tune, can be danced at for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs and even major league Baseball games. The song conjures up wistful smiles and memories of past generations, complete with eye rolling. Sometimes, it's the song you love to hate because it reminds you of Aunt Minnie pinching your cheek at your Bar Mitzvah.
Just humming the song makes you feel better. You almost want to get up and dance the Hora (now associated with the song.)
Hava Nagila, the song, however is much more than that and Hava Nagila, the movie, tells the history of the song and its creation from the Eastern European Pale of Settlement to the kibbutzim of Palestine, to the cul-de-sac of America and finally to its world wide acceptance. Included in the repertoire of such notables as Harry Belafonte, Connie Francis, Glen Campbell, Leonard Nimroy, Dick Dale, Bob Dylan, and Regina Spektor, the song has graced many a stage and even more records and CDs not to mention a variety of films.
Told with humor and touching depth, the moving story of the song's creation and ultimate success of this cultural icon. In the hour and a half, you will go through Jewish history and culture from then to now. The story is 73 minutes of joy, despair and then joy again.
Already the film has garnered several awards from various Jewish film festivals.
The resulting film, produced and directed by Roberta Grossman; written and produced by Sophie Sartain and produced by Marta Kauffman (creator of the show Friends) was executive produced by Lisa Thomas and edited by Chris Callister.
Roberta Grossman, the award winning filmmaker, has a passion for history and social justice. Her last film Blessed Is The Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh, won 13 film festivals and was aired on PBS. She was also the co-writer of 500 Nations, the CBS mini series on Native Americans hosted by Kevin Costner.
While Sophie Sartain, an award winning writer for print, film television and digital media, is the director of development for Katahdin Productions, one of the production companies on the film. More Horses Production also participated in the film.
The film will open in NYC at Lincoln Plaza on March 1, 2013 and in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Irvine and Palm Springs on March 15, 2013.

Rcceived this from a friend. It is from her mothers estate.
I've seen lots of lamb molds but can't find a Chicken. Don't think it is for chocolate, as most of them have a flat band around the shape. Maybe for Baking Cakes?? The only marking I see is T2, Ac inside a circle and R103. It is approx 9" x 6" and weighs almost 2 lbs.
It has sat on a shelf for 15 years, and I don't know how to use it.
Any help will be appreciated.

It does not exactly make up for a loss in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs, but the Houston Dynamo's 1-0 win against CD Luis Angel Firpo Wednesday night at Robertson Stadium will help ease the pain of what is sure to be a long winter.
Brian Ching scored the only goal of the game in the 13th minute and goalkeeper Pat Onstad made five saves, leading the Dynamo to the quarterfinal round of the CONCACAF Champions League.
With their second win of group play, the Dynamo leapfrogged El Salvador's Firpo in Group B and became the only MLS team to advance out of group play. Although their opponent will not be known until Dec. 10, the Dynamo will host the first match on Feb. 23, 24, or 25.
Thanks to Hurricane Ike postponing the match in September, the Dynamo had a chance to exorcise proverbial demons more than two weeks after a 3-0 home loss to MLS Cup runner-up New York, ending the Dynamo's bid for a third consecutive league title.
It was a sloppy, hard-fought match that featured eight yellow cards and two red cards. Wednesday was the Dynamo's 48th competitive match of the season, the most ever in one year for an MLS club, and the team finished the 2008 slate with 19 wins, nine losses and 20 ties in all competitions.
In the opening quarter of the match, the Dynamo controlled play and had several fruitless corner kicks before Ching got the team on the board. Dwayne De Rosario sent a bending corner kick toward the net, and Ching timed it perfectly, heading a shot toward the top of the goal. Firpo goalkeeper Juan Jose Gomez was playing a bit too deep, and he got a piece of the shot as leapt up. But instead of knocking it away for a save, Gomez just pushed Ching's shot into the net behind the crossbar.
With defender Wade Barrett out of the starting lineup, Ching wore the captain's band Wednesday for the second time this season. The last time he wore it, on May 31 in MLS play against New York, Ching scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 Dynamo win.
Nate Jaqua, who was selected earlier in the day by Seattle Sounders FC in the 2008 MLS expansion draft, had a good chance in the 35th minute to give Houston a 2-0 lead, but he could not pull the trigger when he had possession at the top of the box.
In the 37th minute, Firpo had their first legitimate scoring chance of the match when Patricio Gomez had a great look from eight yards out against Onstad. Patricio waited on a perfect cross from Christian Sanchez, but Onstad read the play and made the save.
Corey Ashe nearly gave Houston a 2-0 lead in the 40th minute when a tough-angle shot on the far side edge of the box, and De Rosario had a good look in stoppage time, but his laser from 25 feet out was easily swallowed by Gomez.
In their first meeting in San Salvador, the Dynamo struck first and saw Firpo come back in the second half. It was more of the same in Houston, as Onstad was at his best early in the second half when he quashed two quick Firpo scoring chances. First, in the 54th minute, Fernando Leguizamon fired a quick shot in the middle of the box, but Onstad made the stop. Two minutes later, it was Leguizamon again. This time, flying down the far side, the Argentinean forward bounced a shot toward the net that Onstad had to dive to his left to stop.
Jaqua's Houston career officially came to an end in the 68th minute when he was replaced by Kei Kamara. Jaqua had four goals and four assists in 14 games with the Dynamo in 2008 after returning to the club from Austria.
Houston had to play most of the last 14 minutes a man down when defender Eddie Robinson was sent off with a straight red card. But Firpo substitute Carlos Calderon saw a second yellow card of the match in the 91st minute, evening things up, and Firpo was not able to muster another scoring chance in the closing minutes.

Are you receiving Harassing Phone Calls from 253-387-6024?Portfolio Recovery Associates Harassment. Stop the Calls! Are you receiving harassing Calls from 253-387-6024? Portfolio Recovery Associates PRA Phone Harassment does not have to stress you out. Does your phone ring every day, several times per day? Has Portfolio Recovery Associates threatened you legal action? Finally, do you wish there was a way to make the calls stop? You came to the right place. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, also known as the FDCPA, protects consumers' rights in the context of debt collection. In other words, debt collectors must adhere to a certain set of rules when they are pursuing consumers who owe money. If a collector violates the FDCPA, you can sue the collector in court. The law allows consumers who have been victims of harassment from debt collectors to get the calls to stop in addition to recover statutory damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
Who is Portfolio Recovery Associates?Portfolio Recovery Associates, also known as PRA is a third party debt collector that is currently based out of Norfolk, Virginia. In most but not all cases, PRA buys debt from other companies for pennies on the dollar and then tries to collect the full amount. This type of debt is often very old and so old that it cannot be legally collected on. While PRA buys debts and therefore collects on debts that it owns, the company is still required to follow and abide by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. As of October 2018, the Better Business Bureau reported 1,461 closed Portfolio Recovery Associates complaints over the previous three years.
Possible Illegal Collection TacticsIf Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRA) engages in any of the following tactics, you may have a case:
- Using profanity or abusive language
- Calling you before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
- Calling you multiple times per week
- Talking to others about your debt
- Calling your workplace
- Threatening to sue you, harm you, or destroy your credit
- Telling you or anyone else that you've committed a crime
- Calling repeatedly for the wrong person
- Failing to notify you of your right to dispute the debt
- Trying to collect more than legally allowed

Tunisian Salafists attack bar, call drinkers 'infidels'
[Al Ahram] Ultra-conservative Salafist
s attacked a hotel in the Tunisian city of Subaytilah on Thursday, police sources and eyewitnesses told AFP.
An estimated 15
...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them...
destroyed the hotel's furniture and bar and burned a vehicle parked in front of the building. Bearded men threatened hotel guests with meat cleavers and called them "infidels," eyewitnesses said.
The eyewitnesses could not confirm if there had been any injuries because they had left the area before the police arrived.
The interior ministry has not issued an official statement.
The North African country has witnessed numerous violent incidents linked to hardliners, prompting opposition activists to accuse the Islamist-led coalition government of not doing enough to rein them in. There has been a complex domestic struggle over the role of religion in government and society during the post-revolutionary period.
The bar-related incident in Subaytilah comes after a similar attack on a bar in Sidi Bouzid. Bottles were smashed and customers were chased away with cries of "God is Great" and "drinking is forbidden."
Sidi Bouzid, the birthplace of the uprising that toppled former president Ben Ali last year, is a stronghold of the Salafist movement, which has grown increasingly assertive in recent months.
Violence later spread to the capital where there were
between alcohol sellers and Salafists, wounding a police commander.
Ennahda, a moderate Islamist group lead by Rachid Ghannouchi, formed a coalition with two non-religious parties and has promised not to ban alcohol, impose the veil or use sharia [Islamic law] as the basis of Tunisian law.
It is under pressure from both Salafists calling for the introduction of Islamic law and secular opposition parties determined to prevent this.
Ennahda's stance carries weight. Its secretary-general, Hamadi Jebali, is prime minister, and the party controls more than 40 percent of the seats in the constituent assembly. Salafists are not fully represented by any bloc in the assembly, but have stepped up street protests to press for their demands
Secularists fear that Ennahda has been too soft on the Salafists who since the revolution have attacked or threatened theatres, cinemas and journalists, and most recently Tunisia's tiny Jewish community.

Sunday November 9, 2008
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been lights out this year and is the real deal which is good for the offense! Having a defense that is causing a 3 and out almost 50% of the time not only keeps the defense rested, it gives the offense opportunities to put points on the board and to take chances because more than likely the defense will hold and at most give up a FG. Touchdowns are hard to come by against the Steelers as they have only given up 9 in 8 games and 6 of those TD's came in 3 games alone (2 from Houston (wk1), Ravens (wk4) and Jacksonville (wk 5)). Statistically the defense is at the top or near the top for all the major categories. They lead the league in sacks, defensive passing yards and total yards given up per game. With the offense having a shutdown defense they can go for the long bomb and not have too much to worry about because 1 out 2 times the D will get a 3 and out.
Willie Parker returned last week as the starting RB for the Steelers. The spot was his to give back to once he returned from being injured but you know he has to be looking over his shoulder because Moore is waiting for another opportunity. Last weeks game didn't really help out Porker's case any because his YPC actually dropped to just under 4 yards per carry. He did take back the lead for rushing yards on the the team by 13 yards... the sad thing is he has 18 more carries than Moore, so you do the math.
Ben is listed as day-to-day after missing the second half of the game Monday night. Byron filled in nicely though for Big Ben and looked impressive as the Steelers cruised to a victory. I wouldn't say that Byron won the game for the Steelers because they already had the lead when he entered the game but the important thing is Byron didn't lose the game for them. He showed though he is as reliable as a Charlie Batch and can be counted on to win some games in the event Big Ben can't go. Should Ben play this Sunday he has proclaimed that "It's time for that to change and it will change. I think as my performance changes, I think you'll see some changes in the offense because we'll be clicking more, we'll be making more completions and things will happen nice." This proclamation may have to wait though until his shoulder is healed.
The Colts are NOT the Colts of the past 3 or 4 years. They've had injuries galore and a very under achieving QB since the running game has not been able to get off the ground. The Colts currently are ranked last in total rushing yards per game at just 70 a game. The ironic part is the Steelers D only gives up 70 rushing yards per game! All around though, and both sides of the ball the Colts have been struggling this year and have not been looking good at all. For the Steelers to win this Sunday they need to do the following:
- Get to Manning and stop the run
- Capitalize on turnovers
- Control the clock
Join us this Sunday afternoon as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!

Alastair Townsend, now Director of the Japan-based studio Bakoko, designed and oversaw construction of the Cutty Sark Pavilion whilst working at Youmeheshe Architects in London.
Cutting Sark is one of the world's most famous sailing vessels. After being decommissioned, the historic clipper ship has rested in a dry dock in the centre of historic maritime Greenwich where it served public museum. Grimshaw Architects in association with Youmeheshe Architects and Designers were commissioned to design a cutting-edge visitor centre within and beneath the ship as part of a conservation proramme that required closing the attraction for a complete restoration overhaul.
The centre was built within a restricted budget and met a tight construction programme of only six months from design to completion.

Shares of Bank of East Asia Ltd (0023.HK) is moving on volatility today -0.99% or -0.35 from the open. The HKSE listed company saw a recent bid of 34.90 on 340910 volume.
Active investors are typically trying to beat the market any way they can. When starting out, investors may be under the impression that taking profits in the stock market is easy. Although some may find this the case, the majority will realize how hard it actually is. With so much media attention focused on the day to day happenings in the stock market, it can be easy to become distracted by all the noise. Trying to time the market is rarely a recipe for success. Investors will most likely end up underwater without a focused plan. Creating and maintaining a well-balanced portfolio may take some time and effort for the novice investor to eventually accomplish.
Bank of East Asia Ltd's Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -32.35. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams.

Currently, the 14-day ADX for Bank of East Asia Ltd (0023.HK) is sitting at 28.35. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.

Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility.

Selection of proper truck tire gives a comfortable ride and reduces the wear and tear on the tire drive mechanism, brakes and suspension parts. New Tires Near Me in Rivonia many factors determine the selection of suitable type of tire. These include the terrain where the truck is mostly driven, the climatic conditions, normal driving speed and the full load that is expected to be carried in the truck. Three major tire companies who design and manufacture truck tire for wide range of applications on different and difficult terrains are Mickey Thomson, Super Swamper and Pro com.
Mickey Thomson Truck tireMickey Thomson truck tire manufactured by Mickey Thomson Tire Company was founded in the year 1963.

New Tires Near Me in Rivonia ?
The truck tire, undoubtedly, is one of the main components of the truck, which influence on all its factors, such as a fuel consumption, steerability, resistance, brake properties, comfort, durability, etc. The design of the tire, despite of an apparent simplicity, is complex enough. The tire consists of more than two hundred various elements, using the best quality materials. In this article we tell about tires for trucks and buses. The information is oriented on direct users of tires, who are engaged in trucks operation.The pneumatic tire for trucks represents the elastic envelope meant for setting on a wheel rim and filled by air under pressure. Against the way of sealing the pneumatic tires may be tubed or tubeless. The tubed tire consists of a tire casing and the tire tube with the inner tube valve. The tubed tires for trucks are assembled on rim strips and flat knockdown rims. The designation of rim strips and tubes should correspond to a designation of tires. The rim strip is made in the form of a shaped rubber gasket and settles between the bead of tire, the tube and the wheel rim. It protects the tube from a jamming between the bead of a tire and a rim and from damage by unevenness of a rim. The tire tube is a circular rubber tube with the special valve, filled by air.The carcass tire for truck is a rubber-cord casing basis (a power part) of a tire. It is made from one or several coats of the rubberized cord with the rubber interlayer, fixed on the bead rings. The breaker consists of one and more coats of the rarefied rubberized cord, divided by rubber interlayer, and it is located between a carcass and a tread. Depending on a material of a cord in the breaker the tires are subdivided into the tires with textile breaker and metal-cord tires. And if both the carcass and the breaker are made of metal-cord, the tire named all-steel-tire.
Five Different Types of Car Tyres
Truck tire blowout, often caused by defective tires, is a very serious road hazard that often results in collisions with injuries and fatalities. We have all probably seen the remnants of a blown truck tire scattered across a highway, and many of us had to do some skillful maneuvering to avoid running over these "road gators" (as they are called) or to avoid them hitting our vehicles after the car in front of us has run over them.Debris littering the highways causes over 25,000 accidents and at least 100 deaths each year in the United States and Canada. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that blown tire pieces are the number one road debris.Importance of Proper InflationStudies have shown that most tire and scrap rubber debris on the roadways is caused by under-inflation of tires, which makes the tire susceptible to cuts and flats. When a truck tire comes apart, it can often cause a failure in the other tires, either from a puncture from the debris or from other tires having to carry a disproportionate share of the load, which causes overheating and tire failure.Alignment also needs to be checked on a regular basis. A truck driver, while inspecting his truck, should be on the lookout for wheel problems and tire injuries. Rubbing your hand along the tread and sidewalls to feel for problems like flat spots, cuts, shoulder wear, bulges, sidewall damage, etc. is a good way to check for obvious problems. These simple and quick checks can help you avoid, or at least minimize the number of, catastrophic accidents.All drivers should stop immediately once a tire problem is detected. Even continuing on to the nearest rest stop or weigh station can be disastrous. Tires driven with improper air pressure will eventually come apart, and the results can be deadly.Maintaining proper air pressure in all tires is absolutely imperative while driving your truck across the nation's highways. Ensuring your tires are properly inflated just may save your life and the lives of those traveling beside you.
You may need to replace or change your car tyres because of their age, deterioration or to improve the vehicle's performance. This article outlines some of the key factors that need to be considered before choosing the right car tyres for your vehicle.
1) Car Tyre Size
A good policy is to choose the same size car tyres as the ones that the car was manufactured with. If you are unsure of the vehicle manufacturer's recommended car tyre size, check the owner's manual or look for the information on the tyre placard (usually located inside the fuel flap, on the car door or in the glove box).
Changing car tyre size can improve a vehicle's handling and performance but be aware of the Government regulations before doing this. A car tyre specialist can provide advice on this matter.
2) Driving Habits
Certain car tyre brands are quieter than others, which is an important factor if you spend much of your time driving up and down motorways.
e) Run Flat Tyres
Run flat tyres are a relatively new concept but are becoming more common on new cars. They are designed to operate without air to enable the vehicle to continue being driven when it has a puncture.
5) Weather Conditions
The UK weather conditions can be very changeable. Summer can have temperatures in the high 20's. And then winter brings freezing temperatures, icy conditions and wet weather.
Cold weather car tyres are becoming a popular choice as they are designed to cope with the cold and wet weather of winter but with no significant downside if used during the summer months.
Standard or performance car tyres are suitable in countries with a warm and dry climate all year round.
For further help consult a car tyre specialist who can provide you with impartial advice on which are the best tyres for your vehicle, budget and driving circumstances.

EDMONTON - "This is me in a pigeon costume," beams the charming woman on the stage pointing at the screen. "And the only reason it's in the show is because I paid a lot of money for it."
That's Victoria Melody, an adorably daffy English charmer who redefines "performance art" in a consistently original way in Northern Soul. Melody (her real last name, no kidding) went to live with pigeon-fanciers in the bleaker reaches of the north of England for a year, and spent four more years on location hanging out with exponents of a dance form called northern soul. The idea, she told us, was a homage to eccentric English cultural traditions, before they're lost forever. She is highly eccentric herself, as is her show, a concoction that includes home-cooked slides, video, annotations, live demonstrations, oddball audience participation and pauses. "This is Malcolm," she says in her flat northern accent, pointing at the slide of a plaid-shirted figure in his back garden. Pause. "He is waiting for his pigeon to come back." Pause. "He waited for four hours."
This isn't exactly a frenzy of activity. But, hey, Andy Warhol's Sleep, iconic in performance art circles, is footage of a guy sleeping for five hours, 20 minutes.
Of the three theatrical offerings I've seen so far at the Canoe Festival, which continues through Feb. 3, nary a one could easily be called a play. Which is surely the point of Canoe: Originality — of conception, creation and execution — counts.
I've never seen anything like Northern Soul. And the same thing is true, but for very different reasons, of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit by the Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour. It's an experiment in bringing together, in an impromptu encounter, a playwright and his audience, without the middleman of a director, characters or rehearsal. Impromptu? The actor has never seen the script before the moment he or she opens the envelope containing it, onstage.
The other, even stranger condition under which White Rabbit, Red Rabbit operates is that Soleimanpour has never seen his own play. Until recently, he's been unable to leave Iran. So, as his script emphasizes, Soleimanpour's sole connection to the world, and its diverse audiences in far-flung foreign countries, is his play — ah, and his invitation to email him photos, even during the show, from a cellphone.
It's nearly impossible, under the circumstances, not to interpret the story embedded in White Rabbit, Red Rabbit as an animal fable about oppression, or at least an allegory about group behaviour as conditioned during oppressive regimes. It's also nearly impossible not to feel a certain frisson of fear for him as the absurdist adventure unfolds, with its rabbits turning on each other, a conditioned competitive response even if there's no carrot involved. In the course of Friday night's performance, actor Belinda Cornish, magnificently responsive, got called on to represent the absent playwright, to enlist members of the audience, to play a cheetah pretending to be an ostrich. For an intellectual, Soleimanpour has a wicked sense of humour about the nature and "rules" of theatre, and what they reveal, and don't reveal, about "real life." The whole experience is unnerving.
The other show I caught was Tudor Queens, which recasts Henry VIII's famously serial marital history as a burlesque. It's not that revisiting this checkered history from the female perspective is a first. Monster Theatre's Till Death Do We Part, for example, which played the Fringe circuit last summer, gave us all six queens in purgatory, jockeying for position — all played by one very busy actor, Tara Travis.
Send in the Girls Burlesque takes a similar position about the obvious misogyny involved in dispatching queens willy-nilly. But it's playful in a different way in identifying their idiosyncrasies — as a vaudeville with come-hither eyelashes and striptease. It's a lot of fun to see what Katherine of Aragon (Caley Suliak) might be like doing a burlesque number, as opposed to her francophile successor Anne Boleyn (Elena Porter), who does a peek-a-boo fan dance. The party girl of the crowd, Katherine Howard (Delia Barnet) is a whiny comic airhead. Morgan Smith as Kate Parr and Laura Metcalfe as the German Anne of Cleves are droll, too.
Tudor Queens reserves its most scathing reviews for Jane Seymour (Ellen Chorley), the round-eyed romantic of the bunch, whose pieties about her lord and king get exploded in the course of an entertainment that's occasionally over-written but has its own raucous, foul-mouthed humour.

Hi I have the following problem. I have two classes and two header files. However, One class needs to use the other, and vice-versa. Now when I compile, because a has already been defined, when the preprocessor comes to class b, it will open up class a's header file find that a has already been defined (because the preprocessor did class a first), and therefore a's class definition will not get inserted into class b's header file. Then the compiler will throw an error will say a is undefined within class b. Which is correct. How do I get around this problem? If I got rid of the preprocessor commands I would probably get a class redefinition error... Code below is only illustration!
Any help would be appreciated. Additionally, if some of my thinking is slightly off regarding the actions of the preprocessor, please dont have a go.Code:#ifndef a #define a #include "b.h" Class a { b *tmp; } #endif #ifndef b #define b #include "a.h" Class b { a *tmp; } #endif

Working on NT and Win2K means that executables and object files will many times have embedded UNICODE strings that you cannot easily see with a standard ASCII strings or grep programs. So we decided to roll our own. Strings just scans the file you pass it for UNICODE (or ASCII) strings of a default length of 3 or more UNICODE (or ASCII) characters. Note that it works under Windows 95 as well.
Usage: strings [-s] [-o] [-a] [-u] [-n X] <file or directory>
Strings takes wild-card expressions for file names, and additional command line parameters are defined as follows:
To search one or more files for the presence of a particular string using strings use a command like this:
strings * | findstr /i TextToSearchFor

Food Permitting
The sale of food to the public requires a license, whether for a temporary one-day event, mobile vendor, bed and breakfast establishment, full service restaurant, caterer, or home based (residential) kitchen. This rule applies to vendors, whether non-profit or for-profit.
If you are planning a food event, contact the Foothills Health District to discuss your event with the Health Agent at (413) 268-8404. The Agent will guide you through the process. Application/fee/other documents should be mailed to the Foothills Health District, PO Box 447, Haydenville, MA 01039
An exception to licensing is made for farm stands and farmer's markets that sell fresh uncut fruits and vegetables, unprocessed honey, maple syrup, and fresh eggs stored and maintained at a minimum of 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
An application to hold a temporary event should be made in plenty of advance time (30 days) to allow for processing, inspection, and permit issuance.
New restaurant establishments must submit a plan drawn to scale, an equipment list, proposed menu, and other documents for plan review and approval by the Board of Health.
Wholesale food vendors (those producing food for sale by a retail vendor) must be permitted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Food Protection Program.
At least one person who has been certified in food safety must be present in the food establishment/temporary event at all times.
Massachusetts operates under two sets of food regulations: portions of the Federal Food Code and additions or addendum to that code as contained in the State Code 105 CMR 590.000.
If you plan to open a new food establishment, or regularly hold temporary events, it is highly recommended that you obtain and read a copy of the Merged Food Code. This unofficial compilation of both codes is contained in a user friendly format.

Luce brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 30 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Redesign of the Diabetes Research Network (DRN) existing website bringing it up to date with a more professional look and incorporating our new branding guidelines. A coded home page would be a bonus (XHTML/CSS) but if not just a mockup.
The primary goal of the DRN is to achieve benefits for people with diabetes, or at risk of developing diabetes, through excellence in clinical research. The existing website is dated, dull and does not look professional. We would like a new design that is simple, clear and easy to navigate. The current navigation headings (plus a new one for Industry) are still required however they can be re-organised. This is something I am going to work on but am open to ideas. It would be nice to have a panel for displaying links to updated/new content and a panel for headlines/news items.
The website is currently viewed by both healthcare professionals and patients or people with diabetes.
• A design that is professional, simple and clear but also more eye catching to view
• Colour Scheme - There are a couple of options. Either the DRN logo colours or red (CC000) if you can make it work.
• Font – Frutiger (if possible) or Arial
• Logos – the NIHR logo must be placed top right with white spacing around equal to the 'NHS' logo size and with a white background. The DRN logo must be top left again with a white background.
• Images – we have an optional ribbon image device which can be used
• Relationship statement: Within the homepage we must have the statement "The Diabetes Research Network is part of the National Institute for Health Research." This can be just in the content or can be incorporated into the design
Some websites related to us:
Diabetes Research Networking
Stroke Research Network
UK Clinical Research Network
• Very busy design heavy on images
• Something too playful or animated

Get Smart: How To Do Everything Better in Honolulu (and Beyond)
(page 1 of 5)
You, dear reader, are a sharp cookie. We know that. Still, there's always a better "you" out there. Someone who can work better, whip up a tastier meal or even rock harder at karaoke. Start with any one of these 32 local classes or tips and see what happens. We won't tell anyone how you became so awesome.
Give a Great Speech
Public speaking coach Pam Chambers has been helping nervous speakers since 1985, curing sweaty palms and stagefright. Here are some of her tips for shining at the podium:
1) Believe in yourself. Trust that what you have to say will help at least one person in the audience.
2) Respect your audience. The alternative is to fear it, and that's not useful.
3) If you begin shaking or trembling, grab the seat of your chair and pull as hard as you can. If you are already standing, dig your toes into the floor for several seconds. This releases excess energy from the adrenaline rush.
4) Make eye contact with friendly faces in the audience for two to three seconds. Don't gaze over your listeners' heads.
5) Throw out a few questions during the talk for audience interaction.
Public speaking classes, Oct. 10-Dec. 19, 6-8:30 p.m., $450-$495, firstname.lastname@example.com, pamchambers.com.
Finally Get That MBA
For many professionals, an MBA may be crucial to advancing in your career. On the other hand, dropping out of work for a few years to get one isn't going to help. UH has a solution: an executive or part-time MBA course geared toward people with demanding jobs. Working professionals can get an executive MBA in less than two years by attending class every Tuesday and alternating Saturdays. There's an evening schedule, so you can head over to class straight from work. You can apply online, but this is a serious graduate degree; you will need to submit college transcripts, GMAT scores and a few more things. The full application checklist is at mba.shidler.hawaii.edu/MBA_ApplicationChecklist.pdf.
Have a Plan for Serious Disasters
Hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes—any natural disaster that damages our ports could leave the Island stranded for as long as a week, nearly twice as long as if a similar disaster struck a Mainland city, according to the Hawaii Red Cross. Be prepared, at home and at work (where it's entirely possible you may be stuck with your colleagues, huddled under desks, for days. Long, long days.)
1) For businesses, Red Cross Hawaii offers the web-based Ready Rating program, which can help you assess how prepared you are, develop a business continuity plan and position your business to be able to help others during a crisis. readyrating.org.
2) For families, Red Cross recommends making a family communications plan, assembling a kit of nonperishable food and other disaster supplies to last a week (kits are available through the Red Cross) and getting basic first-aid training in advance. hawaiiredcross.org/getprepared/preparefamily.pdf.
3) CPR skills can make you a hero even in the best of weather. CPR Class, Hawaii Red Cross, $70-$110.00, hawaiiredcross.org, 739-8123.

| 7.4°C Belfast
Aston Villa have distanced themselves from reports owner Randy Lerner is looking to sell the club.
The suggestion at the weekend was that Lerner was looking to recoup a figure of around £200million for a club he bought in 2006 for £62.6m, and after spending £250m on players and upgrading facilities.
But chief executive Paul Faulkner has refuted the speculation and insisted Lerner has no intention of walking away.
Quoted in the Express and Star, Faulkner said: "I can categorically confirm Aston Villa Football Club has absolutely not been put up for sale and that Randy Lerner is not actively looking to sell the club."

Al Jazeera buys Current TV, stakes U.S. claim
Al Gore, meet Al Jazeera. The Als now have a lot in common.
Poor Al Gore. Not only did his TV network fail, it was bought by an international news organization that may be a tougher sell to some Americans than Gore himself was. Al Jazeera, the very legitimate news network based in Qatar, will take over Current TV's spot on your screen (channel 107 on Comcast's digital preferred lineup in Denver). This marks a huge expansion for the 16-year-old network. It also represents a huge challenge to CNN at a time when that international news network has been fumbling.
The switch to Al Jazeera will occur this year. From the release:
The Network has won numerous U.S. and international awards for its journalism and with more than 70 bureaus across the globe it has one of the largest bureau footprints and newsgathering forces of any news network in the world.
The new channel will be headquartered in New York City. In addition to the existing Al Jazeera news bureaus in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago, Al Jazeera will open additional bureaus in key locations across the United States. Al Jazeera's expansion will double the network's U.S.-based staff to more than 300 employees.
If you haven't checked out the professional, globally oriented content on the channel, and the extended investigative series and documentaries, you may be surprised. It's a fine resource, no more biased than Fox News or MSNBC. For now it's still available via live streaming at the Al Jazeera English site.

Since I use wordpress as CMS for 2-3 different websites, upgrading wordpress is an essential task for me. Upgrading wordpress from shell prompt is the easiest thing.
Howto update wordpress
Please note that if you are not comfortable with UNIX shell prompt (IF YOU ARE new to UNIX/Linux), please follow traditional way of upgrading wordpress and DO NOT use following instructions 😉
Step # 1: Backup existing database and wordpress directory
Type the following commands at shell prompt:
$ mkdir /backup/wp/28nov2006
$ mysqldump -u user -p WP-DATABASENAME > /backup/wp/28nov2006/blog.db.sql
$ tar -zcvf /backup/wp/28nov2006.tar.gz /var/www/html/blog
Step # 2: Download latest wordpress CMS
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
$ unzip latest.zip
Step # 3: Overwrite all new files
$ cd /var/www/html/blog
$ cp -avr /tmp/wordpress/* .
$ rm -rf /tmp/wordpress /tmp/latest.zip
Open a browser and run update script such as http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
And you are done. Thanks to UNIX shell access. It just took less than 1 minute!!! Replace path names and database name with actual values.
In case, if something goes wrong, you can always restore old database and files from /backup/wp/28nov2006 directory.
PS: I wrote this because some one recently asked me how to upgrade wordpess from command line.

Twitter is aflutter with reports of one of the silliest transgressions in college football. Montee Ball was apparently arrested and cited for trespassing during Wisconsin's annual Mifflin Street block party. The picture above, appeared on Twitter minutes ago and purports to show Ball being taken away by a couple of crossing guard-looking police officers.
Wisconsin TV reporter Theo Keith later tweeted that "Madison Police Chief Noble Wray confirms that Montee Ball was arrested for trespassing on a #Mifflin2012 porch."
Yes, the Big Ten Offensive Player Of The Year was arrested for trespassing when he refused to leave someone's porch. But why would someone in Madison want Ball off their porch? Beer muscles? An angry boyfriend? Or is something more insidious going on in middle America? My money's on beer muscles, but you never know.
We'll update as more information is released and look forward to the character assassination weeks before the 2013 NFL draft.
Update 5:40 p.m. According to Keith, Ball was cooperative with police but was given a $429 ticket because the property owner did not want him on the porch.

Tags:crisis, Government, Russell, UK, UK GovernmentHelp us keep up the good work Why?Well, unlike many news organisations, we have no sponsors, no corporate or ideological interests. We don't put up a paywall – we believe in free public access to information. Although underresourced & primarily volunteer-based, we endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news firsthand from primary sources. Our goal and mission is to provide free and alternative access to impartial information, fighting media monopolization and adhering to honesty, neutrality, fairness, transparency and independence in collection and dissemination of information. It is a bumpy road with all sorties of difficulties. (Media ownership in Australia is one of the most concentrated in the world (more on this!). Since the trend of consolidation is and has historically been upward, fewer and fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media in our country. According to independent assessment, about 98% of the media sector is held by three conglomerates. This tendency is not only totally unacceptable, but also to a degree frightening). Learn moreWe can only achieve this goal together. Our website is open to any citizen journalists and organizations who want to contribute, publish high-quality insights or send media releases to improve public access to impartial information. You and we have the right to know, learn, read, hear what and how we deem appropriate.If you like what we do & would like to buy us a coffee (or lots of coffees), please know it's greatly appreciated.

Psychology and Counseling
Our psychology programs provide students with an in-depth understanding of human behavior, stressing its complexity, development, and integration. We are committed to a broad interdisciplinary study of humanity.
We offer state of the art training experiences in school and mental health counseling. In addition to our CACREP accredited school counseling programs, we offer the only CACREP accredited Mental Health Counseling (MHC) program in NEPA, and one of only two programs in a five state area!Visit Website
The Department of Psychology and Counseling provides students with an in-depth understanding of human behavior, stressing its complexity, development, and integration.
Specifically, the objectives of the Psychology and Counseling Department are
- A basic understanding of major concepts, theoretical perspectives, empirical findings, and historical trends in Psychology
- A working knowledge of the principles of research design, critical thinking abilities, and application of the scientific approach to problems related to behavior and mental processes
- Demonstrate of an awareness and application of the ethical dimensions both in research and practice
Because psychology is an empirically-based discipline, the scientific nature of psychology is emphasized in both general and specialized courses. The Psychology curriculum is designed to meet the diverse needs of students. For the Psychology major, this includes an integrated sequence of learning experiences that prepare the student for multiple career options after graduation, which may include mental health and social service settings, personnel resources, marketing research, and other related fields.
In view of the importance of advanced degrees in psychology, a thorough preparation for graduate work is also emphasized.
The 48-credit General Psychology Track develops a broad-based understanding of human behavior for varied reasons (not necessarily involving clinical applications). Students complete 30 credits of required psychology classes and select an additional 18 elective credits in order to explore or emphasize their particular interests in the discipline.
The 48-credit Clinical Track involves preparation for professional careers in clinical psychology and related areas. The Clinical Track is available for those majors who desire employment in the field immediately after graduation and/or who seek to pursue graduate study in clinical psychology or related areas. Special guidelines are provided in the Student Handbook, which is available from the department. The track requires that the student maintains at least a 3.00 QPA in Psychology and completion of a four-course sequence (Psychology 431 or 432, 433, 434, and 451A), along with other recommended courses.
The Industrial Organizational (I/O) Track is a 60-credit interdisciplinary program in cooperation with the Business and Managerial Science Department. This track offers students a blend of psychology and business training and is designed for those who wish to directly enter the corporate world after graduation or to further pursue graduate study in industrial/organizational psychology. The track requires that the student maintains at least a 3.00 QPA in Psychology. In addition to the 30 hours of Psychology core courses, students are required to complete four Psychology courses (Psychology 425, 345, 318, and one of the following: 451B, 350, 310) and three Business courses (341, 422, and 221, or 424). Additionally, students must complete two Psychology electives from: Psychology 317, 319, 415, 438, 440, 451B, or 350 or 310*, and one Business elective from: Business 200, 252, 255, 344, 380.
*Only one course from among 451B or 350 or 310* can be used to fulfill this requirement.
Honors Research is another important alternative in our curriculum. Students who are interested in pursuit of graduate study in psychology are particularly advised of the importance of honors research in facilitating advanced study. Honors research in Psychology requires the maintenance of a QPA of 3.25 in Psychology and 3.00 overall. Honors research in Psychology involves completion of Psychology 452 and/or Psychology H478 along with presentation of the results of this research. Psychology H478 is part of the University Honors Program. Students are encouraged to take Psychology 310, Research Apprenticeship, early in their coursework (e.g., sophomore year). Further details regarding Honors Research are available in the Student Handbook.
Experiential learning opportunities are integrated with classroom-based instruction at every opportunity. Students are encouraged to participate in a variety of formal and informal field experiences. Supervised internships in local agencies, leading to undergraduate credit, ordinarily are open only to those students who are majoring in Psychology.
Courses in the Psychology Department also frequently provide knowledge and tool skills for students in other programs concerned with human behavior and development. Concentrations in Psychology also may be combined with other areas, such as education, pre-law, biology, social work, and special education. While not offered as a specific program track, the department offers a number of courses related to various aspects of health psychology, a growing area in the field of psychology. See the Student Handbook for a listing of these courses.
General Requirements - All Students
PSYC 211, General Psychology, as part of the general liberal arts curriculum, fulfills the Social Sciences requirement and is a prerequisite of all other psychology courses. It is hoped that study in Psychology will aid the student in acquiring selfknowledge and gaining understanding of the scientific nature of the field. PSYC 211 attempts to enhance student skills in critical thinking, information literacy, computer/ technology utilization skills, and awareness of diversity issues.
Curriculum Requirements - Majors and Minors

As the story goes, a fellow named Barney Flaherty was the first newspaper carrier for the New York Sun. But how'd you like to say your newspaper was delivered by Isaac Asimov? Or, perhaps James Cagney, Herbert Hoover or even Martin Luther King, Jr.?
All these fabulous gents, and some equally terrific women, have all held the once-heralded oft-first job of newspaper carrier.
Today is the day we all (or maybe just news junkies) celebrate National Newspaper Carrier Day. Yes, the newspaper carrier may seem like a thing of the past in today's 'print is dead; long live print' era. But, as long as we are still printing copies, we will need people to deliver the news to those who still enjoy settling in with their morning paper and a hot cup of joe.
After you check out our slideshow of historical newspaper carrier photos, maybe test your knowledge of famous people who started as newspaper carriers with this quiz from the Newspaper Association of America.

Webcam Riot!
We work in the TV industry in Los Angeles and are developing a fun, interactive, comedy game show that will be broadcast via the web and allows for viewers to participate from home with webcams. The show consists of trivia games and interactive segments that allow for viewers to play from home along with the webcam participants. We want to motivate as many people as possible to join our worldwide, interactive party.
Our target audience is young people on the web that participate in social networks. We aim for our show to be the destination on the web for interactive fun.
We would like to see a webcam be turned into a character that takes the place of the "o" in "WebcamRiot" . The letters should be rounded and fun and suggest a party. We also would like to see a 3_D look to the logo, as we will animate it. The webcam character will become a sort of mascot for the show and we'd like a character with a gremlin-type personality---a mischievous, fun yet prankster look. We want the logo to be inviting, riotous and convey the sense of a worldwide party in which everyone can join in.

Treatment of Overactive Thyroid
If the high thyroid levels in the blood stream are caused by subacute or painless thyroiditis, then the disease will go away by itself and it does not need treatment. While waiting for the disease to get better, the patient may take a drug called a "beta blocker". This drug can block some (but not all) of the effects of the thyroid hormone on the body, and can make the patient feel better until the disease goes away by itself.
The most common causes of an overactive thyroid are:
All of these conditions respond to the same three treatments
- Surgery
- Radioactive iodine
- Anti-thyroid drugs
When surgery is used, the thyroid gland (or the part of the thyroid gland containing the tumor in cases of toxic adenoma) is surgically removed. Usually enough of the thyroid is removed so that thyroid levels drop low after surgery. This is not a problem, however, because we know how to make thyroid hormone in a pill. The pill is cheap, only has to be taken once a day, and has no side effects (as long as the correct dose is being used).
Complications of Surgery
Rarely the surgery may be complicated by damage to the nerve to the voice box, which can result in temporary or permanent hoarseness in the voice. The likelihood of this complication varies with the experience and expertise of the surgeon. In specialized centers with very experienced surgeons the probability of complications is about 2%. Also in less than 1% of cases, there is damage to other glands near the thyroid called "parathyroid glands". The parathyroid glands keep the calcium level in the blood normal, and patients with damage to these glands from thyroid surgery will need to take calcium and vitamin D pills to keep the calcium levels in the blood normal – either temporarily or permanently. Another possible side effect is hypothyroidism, which can be treated with thyroid hormone pills.
Radioactive Iodine
Doctors have been using radioactive iodine to treat overactive thyroid glands since the mid 1940's. The nice thing about iodine is that it only goes to two places in the body. It either goes to the thyroid gland or it goes out in the urine. (A small amount is taken up by the salivary glands and intestinal cells). When the thyroid cells take up radioactive iodine, the nucleus of each cell is radiated. Breaks occur in the DNA. Later on, when the cells try to reproduce, the broken strands of DNA cause the daughter cells to die. It takes about three months for a dose of radioactive iodine to have its full effect on the thyroid gland.
Complications of Radioactive Iodine Treatment
Sometimes (especially when a toxic adenoma is being treated) radioactive iodine returns the patient to normal – thyroid hormone levels in the blood are within normal limits. Usually, however, radioactive iodine causes thyroid levels to become low and the patient must take thyroid pills for life. Radioactive iodine, in the doses used to treat an overactive thyroid, usually has no other side effects besides causing hypothyroidism.
Some patients with Graves' disease can develop an autoimmune attack on the tissues behind the eyes, which causes a pressure build up behind the eyes. This can result in bulging forward of one or both eyes, or it can cause the eyes not to work together correctly (which gives the patient double vision).
Eye problems can occur in Graves' disease before the thyroid overactivity, at the same time as the thyroid overactivity, or years after the overactive thyroid has been treated. Patients can get Graves' eye disease after treatment with surgery, radioactive iodine, or anti-thyroid drugs. It has been suggested in the medical literature that Graves' eye disease might be a little more common in patients who have been treated with radioactive iodine than in patients who have been treated with surgery or anti-thyroid drugs.
Anti-Thyroid Drugs
A third treatment for the overactive thyroid involves the use of anti-thyroid drugs. The two anti-thyroid drugs available in this country are propylthiouracil (usually referred to "PTU") and methimazole (also known as "Tapazole"). These drugs slow down the thyroid gland's production of thyroid hormone. The more drug you take, the slower the thyroid works.
Treatment is usually started with a large dose of the drug, which brings the thyroid levels down to normal. The patient then goes through a period of adjustment where blood tests are ordered every two to four weeks and the dose of the medication is changed until we find a dose that keeps the thyroid levels normal. After that, the blood tests may come less and less often until finally they are only checked every six months. These anti-thyroid drugs have been in use for several decades and the risk of severe side effects is small.
Complications of Anti-Thyroid Drugs
A few patients out of every 10,000 have been reported to develop liver trouble. Another rare side effect is called "agranulocytosis". This is a condition in which the white blood cells, which fight infection, disappear from the body. This could be a serious problem if an infection developed while those white blood cells were low.
Fortunately, there is usually a warning when you get agranulocytosis – a fever and a sore throat. Patients on anti-thyroid drugs who develop a fever and a sore throat should stop the pills and call right away to get a blood test. If the blood test shows agranulocytosis, patients must remain off the anti-thyroid drugs. The white blood cells usually return to normal within one to two weeks.
PTU, but not methimazole, has rarely been associated with severe liver disease. The FDA has recommended that PTU be used only in pregnant women during the first trimester and in patients who are allergic to or cannot tolerate methimazole.
Thus, each of the possible treatments for an overactive thyroid have some advantages and some disadvantage. In general, all three treatments are highly effective and associated with a low risk of side effects.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
There is now an updated version of cgminer based on 3.7.2 (kalroth cgminer 3.7.3) with support for MaxCoin's keccak (SHA-3) algorithm that is more stable and optimized than the previously available cgminer 3.6.6 with keccak support. So if you are still using the old version 3.6.6 of cgminer with keccak support, then you better update to the new cgminer 3.7.3 kalroth release for mining MaxCoins (MAX). You can also build the miner yourself from source if you wish.
– You can download cgminer 3.7.3 karloth with GPU mining support for Windows OS here…
The MaxCoin time with CPU mining was very short and now everyone is mining with GPU as soon as it became available, so the MAX crypto continues will full throttle. If you are looking into mining MaxCoin with GPU, then you might find this helpful – download CUDAminer for Nvidia with keccak support or download cgminer 3.6.6 with keccak support from the link below if you are mining with AMD graphics cards using OpenCL. The keccak version of cgminer miner may not be 100% stable, but it will restart again if there is a problem and it crashes. And as a suggestion for a pool to mine MaxCoin in – try 1GH. Ypool has already closed their MAX pool due to the serious DDoS attacks that MaxCoin pools were getting since the crypto has been announced a few days ago and 1GH seems to have resolved their problems with the attacks they were getting as well and are probably one of the largest if not the largest MaxCoin pool at the moment. There is now a newer version 3.7.2(3) available that is much more stable and reliable than the version 3.6.6.

Glorantha returns home to Chaosium!
We are proud to announce that Glorantha has returned home to Chaosium. And specifically, our store has moved over there.
Browse our product catalogs for HeroQuest, and RuneQuest.
Glorantha.com will still remain and focus on all things Gloranthan. All your PDF downloads will still available – just contact Chaosium customer support if you need them.
Welcome to Greg Stafford's Mythic World of Glorantha
This site is migrating to a new home. Pages will slowly transition over to:
The Well of Daliath
A resource for exploring Greg Stafford's Glorantha
Come explore Glorantha – a Bronze Age world where mythology comes to life and adventure is only a step away.
Glorantha is in many ways similar to our own world, but exists in a magical universe where the laws of physics are subordinate to the whims of the gods and spirits. To understand Glorantha, you must leave our mundane world and enter the world of myth. The Sun is a living god, and not a nearby star. Countless gods exist, some even more powerful than the Sun, and all have the power to directly affect humanity. Rulers and leaders use magical rather than technological means to achieve their ends, and even the humblest of persons will cross the paths of the gods and spirits.
Check out our Podcast!
We are excited to announce the release of our podcast – now available on iTunes.
Glorantha is one of the oldest and best-defined fantasy roleplaying settings. It first burst into the consciousness of legendary game designer Greg Stafford in 1966, and has been explored through board games (including White Bear & Red Moon, Nomad Gods, and The Gods War, roleplaying games (including HeroQuest, RuneQuest, and 13th Age in Glorantha), and computer games (including the award-winning King of Dragon Pass).
"Fantasy is not so much a suspension of disbelief as it is an acceptance of our own unconsciousness. Fantasy is as old as man, beginning back in our animal history when someone had the first abstract thought. In our Western society, empirical data and rational thought have become the touchstones of experience. This is worse than cutting off half your body. The fantastic is easily half of the universe, whether you count galaxies and nucleotides or court a demon in a pentacle."
– Greg Stafford.

They say it takes 1000 steps to reach happiness.
Life as a carbon-based life form; a journey of building on success and learning from mistakes.
They say it takes 1000 steps to reach happiness.
At this age they will learn truth and lies. Viewing self as a whole person involving body, mind and feelings. Perhaps realising a bit of spiritual and fantasy even.
I felt a sensation when I heard the news, not sure if I should feel happy, worried or clarify move forward.
