That was a pretty good rant. I liked the honesty. Me and you seem to be quite alike in some respects (Akarui does resemble SoC in presentation style - i think - we should have our own genre) including unsureness, writing from the heart-ness, and attitude towards our comic-ness.
I totally understand about how an artist desperately needs feedback and motivation. So I'll try my best to let you know what I think about whatever you decide to put up. Not only do I find myself with some free time on my hands nowadays, but I decided I should play a part in helping other people. Not to say I'm very knowledgable about making comics, but I know what I like, and what I don't (most of the time). So anything I say is just my opinion, can be used against me in the court of law, and should be taken with as much salt as possible.

starting with today's:
I like the progress of youngest/shortest to oldest/tallest. With them all following in tow and the girl picking up what's being thrown behind by the guy (who, you?) It's so open to interpretation, and that's one thing I like (I like things that are open to interpretation, but I also like thats that are very clear/precise)
Anyhow, to nit-pick: The gal's eyes look a little odd. I think they should look down at what she's picking up.
Also, the shadows going down the comic doesn't match the lighting on the people.
Another thought, when I first saw the grizzle smoke coming off the guy's head, I thought it spelt out some letters... Then I realized it didn't and I thought how cool it would be if it HAD spelt out some letters, but still remained grizzled smoke. (I just made up that word: grizzled)

Hey.. that would be neat, Koio!
If the tornado of frustration spelled out some words! (What an interesting word you have coined, by the way.. Grizzled.. Hm... I like it! I has feeling! Meaning! And seems to perfectly describe that smoke! Heh. ^^)
I just wanted to say that I also agree about the feedback thing.. And that I too thought that that was you at the front of the line..
It was my first impression that it WAS you.. But then I thought for a moment that it could be Pikhe.. but then its not.
My interpretation of that pic was based off of my first impression.. that it was you.. I was kind of thinking it resembled your growth as an artist.. and that you're still struggling.. but then I realised that the kid in the middle was wearing a skirt.. and therefore a girl.. Making my interpretation pretty well darned invalid.
Still though, I see the person in the front of the line being you somehow.. You're still growing and maturing as an artist as a person.. And you still get frustrated with SoC (and Pelolos too!) I'm sure.
So I find that very interesting, weird, and refreshing.
It is a very cute picture, also! And I don't think it matters about the background being shaded how it is. I think it looks neat, and it is just a background after all. ^^ *nods*
Yeah, I could've done that, but I thought it would be funny to make it look like Kleisse is sneaking up and picking the papers up behind his back. Therefore, she is wary, in a playful sense, of Pikhe finding out.

In that case, the iris should float up a little, to look towards Pikhe. To me, at the moment, she looks a little zombie-fied.
You really need to teach me how you do those folds in cloth. Gosh, something I really need work on...

You need to get on IRC, AIM or ICQ more often Bryan. I think we're both posting here at the same time.
Oh yeah, about the genre. I finally decided that Akarui is more of an 'emotional journey'. It's a pseudo-realistic manga, which means there's nothing sci-fi or fantasy about it (although I might have alot of religious things soon). It might not be set in a real-this-world-we-the-artist-lives-in, but rather, it's real life in this universe that we the artist created. So in a way, it's realistic, but not exactly.
The main point of Akarui is to show the emotional growth, pain, happiness of Koi. So while there might be romance, comedy, and violence, the manga doesn't focus on those specific emotions, but rather Emotion. So that's my genre: "Emotional Journey" I'm really making up alot of things recently aren't I?
Although maybe I'm fooling myself, and it's just 'Drama' after all.

Yes.. We sort of talked about it before.. Not really.
You said that Osi's, Seji's, and Pikhe's hair is all black.. But to highlight black in anime, they often use dark blues and purples. Well.. NORMALLY.. the highlights on Osi and Pikhe are blue.. and the highlight on Seji is dark purple.
So.. When you hilighted Pikhe's hair with a light-medium brown.. I DIDN'T RECOGNISE HIM!!! And so.. I thought it was you, as I said before. And I don't care what the truth is.. I'm still going to call his hair blue.. even though its black and just hilighted blue.. Its just a REALLY deep shade of blue.. Same goes for Osi, and Seji ('cept hers is reddish-purple/purple!)!! Okay!??
THAT'S what I meant! Okay!? Are you HAPPY NOW, BRYAN!?? Heheh.. Anyways.. I just feel like replying to everything today.. even if I had nothing to do with it in the first place.
The position Keriel is in is really cool! ^^

Canadian pens erotic answer to "Fifty Shades" as a dare
Canadian novelist Lisa Gabriele never felt she was especially good at writing sex scenes, but when an editor dared her to write an erotic novel to rival the wildly popular global hit "Fifty Shades of Grey," she took up the challenge.books Updated: Feb 08, 2013 13:02 IST
Canadian novelist Lisa Gabriele never felt she was especially good at writing sex scenes, but when an editor dared her to write an erotic novel to rival the wildly popular global hit "Fifty Shades of Grey," she took up the challenge.
A week later she had some 40 pages written on "S.E.C.R.E.T.", the just-published story of an underground society that helps women realize their wildest sexual dreams.
"I'd always written about men and women and relationships, but I'd always thought of it as leaving the sex at the bedroom door and shoving them in and saying, 'Okay, I'll see you in the morning,'" said Gabriele, who wrote the novel and conducted her interview with Reuters under the pseudonym L. Marie Adeline.
"I'd never really had the courage to tackle it."
Right away, she had the idea that women should have the chance to explore a wider variety of sexual fantasies than the S&M at the core of "Fifty Shades," the story of a naive student and a manipulative entrepreneur.
Enter S.E.C.R.E.T., a society that uses a 10-step programme to bring alive the most secret fantasies and desires of its members. The goal? Sexual fulfillment.
Since Gabriele's previous books, both of them Canadian bestsellers, dealt with quieter themes like coming-of-age and family dramas, she needed to do some research. Googling "Top Ten Female Sex Fantasies" helped, as did asking her friends.
"I was surprised by how forthcoming they were," she said. "That was the wonderful thing about 'Fifty Shades' - it actually got people talking in explicit detail about things. I'm sure they'd always read (erotica), but I don't think they sat in book clubs and talked about being tied up."
A reader of Harlequin Romances and other bodice-rippers in her youth, Gabriele found that writing the book turned out to be much easier and more fun than she expected, though maintaining the right balance was sometimes tricky.
"I didn't want to make it dark, I didn't want to use various words, the pornification of sex. I'm not a big porn consumer - I'm 45 years old, it's not a big part of my life," Gabriele said.
"I wanted to keep the porny aspect away from this book. Every so often I would inadvertently head there, but my editor had a really firm leash on that, she would pull me back a bit."
Another unexpected challenge was realizing that character development was just as essential when writing erotica as with any other fiction - and following up on a quiet romance that began to emerge between two of her characters.
"I was grateful for it," she said. "It was a nice break from all the sweating and panting to see these two people coming together slowly and figuring out that they actually might be in love with each other."
Though erotica has been around for decades, Gabriele said its current popularity may be an outgrowth of the "Twilight" vampire book and film franchise as well as Fifty Shades.
The popularity of e-readers, which allow people to read anything they want in public without revealing their literary tastes, could also play a part.
Gabriele, whose identity was unmasked this week by state broadcaster the Canadian Broadcasting Corp (CBC) where she used to work, has a two-book deal for more erotica, and may write a third if the appetite is there.
"But I don't know about a fourth," she said. "By then I might want to go back to my quiet little family dramas."

Symptoms vary widely from person to person and depending on which organs are affected. Some people do not even have symptoms, which makes the condition difficult to diagnose.
When amyloidosis is associated with another disease, symptoms may be masked. The underlying disease may be fatal before amyloidosis is found.
Symptoms include:
- An enlarged liver
- An enlarged tongue (macroglossia)
- An irregular heartbeat
- Diarrhea alternating with constipation
- Difficulty swallowing
- Dizziness or feeling faint
- Loss of weight
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
- Severe fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Skin changes
- Swelling of the ankles and legs
- Weakness
The severity of amyloidosis depends on which organs it affects. It can be life threatening if it causes kidney or heart failure.
If the amyloidosis affects the kidneys, their ability to filter the blood becomes impaired. Protein leaks from the blood into the urine. The loss of protein from the blood can cause fluid to leak out of the blood vessels, resulting in swelling in the feet, ankles and calves. Eventually, there is so much damage to the kidneys that they are not able to remove waste products from the body and they fail.
If amyloidosis affects the heart, the first symptom typically is shortness of breath even with only light activity. Climbing a flight of stairs or walking long distances may be difficult without having to stop. The buildup of amyloid in the heart lessens its ability to fill up with blood between heartbeats. As a result, less blood is pumped with each beat, and the heart is not able to keep up with the body's needs. The buildup of amyloid can also cause problems with the electrical system of the heart, resulting in irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia).
Other effects of amyloidosis include:
- A burning sensation as a result of nerves being irritated by the amyloid
- Alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea, if the protein deposits affect the nerves that control the bowels
- Bowel obstruction
- Carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes pain, numbness or tingling in the fingers. Approximately four out of 10 people with amyloidosis develop this syndrome.
- Disruption of the nervous system
- Dizziness or nearly fainting when standing up too quickly. This can happen if the condition affects the nerves that control blood pressure and a sudden drop in blood pressure occurs when standing up.
- Numbness or lack of feeling in the toes or feet
- Weakness in the legs, which can be a result of nerves irritated by the amyloid
Diseases that are associated with amyloidosis include multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, some types of tumors and Mediterranean fever that runs in families. It may also be associated with aging. Amyloid is often found in the pancreas of people who develop diabetes as adults.
Causes and Risk Factors
The cause for amyloid to be produced and to collect in the tissues is not known. The risk of getting amyloidosis is not connected to what a person eats (including how much protein) or does for a living or to the amount of stress in one's life
The disease starts in the bone marrow. Bone marrow creates red and white blood cells, platelets and antibodies that protect the body against infection. After the antibodies have done their work, the body breaks them down. When the bone marrow cells produce antibodies that cannot be broken down, amyloidosis develops. The antibodies build up in the blood and eventually get deposited in the tissues as amyloid.
The risk of developing amyloidosis is greater in people who:
- Are older than 50
- Have a chronic infection or inflammatory disease
- Have a family history of amyloidosis
- Have multiple myeloma. Between 10 and 15% of people who have multiple myeloma develop amyloidosis.
- Have a kidney disease that has required dialysis for more than five years

As much as 4,000 tonnes of toxic e-waste are discarded every hour.
We love to see electronic products manufacturers competing for who can outgreen whom.
In one of the best outcomes of our quarterly "Green Ranking" we've seen Michael Dell challenge the entire industry to adopt a worldwide takeback policy (something we put on our wish list to Dell when the campaign first started), watched some companies meet and then exceed our demands, and enjoyed getting phone calls from other manufacturers asking when, precisely, new policies needed to be adopted in order to be reflected in the next ranking.
Sony Ericsson not only took up our demand to eliminate (take a deep breath and say this fast) brominated fire retardants and polyvinyl chloride – they're eliminating beryllium and phthalates too. And Chinese manufacturer Lenovo has jumped from last place to the middle of the pack to top dog in six months: all they need to do for a perfect 10 is to get a green product on the market.
Competitive pressure, ongoing dialogue with Greenpeace campaigners, and consumer expectations have driven an improvement in companies' scores since the December 2006 edition of the Guide, with nine out of 14 companies now scoring more than five points out of 10.
© Greenpeace / Natalie Behring
In our newest ranking, Chinese PC maker Lenovo displaces Nokia from the lead position it enjoyed since the Guide was launched. Sony and LG Electronics receive penalty points for operating double standards on their e-waste takeback policies across the world, while Apple, having made no progress since the launch of the Guide in August 2006, continues to languish in last place, far behind all other major manufacturers. (Are you a surprised and disappointed Apple user? We are too. All of us who love Apple are giving them a push by writing to Steve Jobs, giving our Macs a hug, and participating in other ways in the Green my Apple campaign.)
"Given the growing mountains of e-waste in China – both imported and domestically generated – it is heartening to see a Chinese company taking the lead, and assuming responsibility at least for its own branded waste," said Iza Kruszewska, our International Toxics Campaigner. "The challenge for the industry now is to see who will actually place greener products on the market."
© Greenpeace / Natalie Behring
Lenovo, which bought IBM's consumer electronics division in 2005, scores top marks on its e-waste policies and practice; the company offers takeback and recycling in all the countries where its products are sold. Lenovo also reports the amount of e-waste it recycles as a percentage of its sales. However, the company has yet to put on the market products that are free of the worst chemicals.
Other companies in the top five include Nokia (2nd), Sony Ericsson (3rd) Dell (4th) and Samsung (5th).
Sony Ericsson has moved back up the guide (they were 5th in December 2006) and is the first company to set a timeline of 1st January 2008 for eliminating substances in addition to those banned by the European RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electronic products), including phthalates, beryllium and some uses of antimony compounds.
Sony and LG Electronics have been penalised for practicing double standards on their regional and national policies for recycling their own-branded products. While both companies support Individual Producer Responsibility elsewhere in the world, in the United States they are part of a coalition opposing producer responsibility laws and calling for consumers, instead of producers, to pay for the recycling of e-waste.
"We expect companies to have consistent global policies and treat all their customers equally. With this edition of the Guide, we're seeing some companies move beyond good statements of principle and towards real action, with the roll-out of voluntary take-back programs and detailed information being provided to customers. But companies have to stay on the ball and progress in step with the market. Existing commitments from companies begin to look less impressive on this dynamic score card as their competitors raise the bar!" concluded Kruszewska.
See the ranking and full report.
We love our macs. We just wish they came in green.
We couldn't run this kind of campaign if we accepted corporate donations. We maintain our independence, and ability to name and shame, by relying on individuals like yourself to keep us going.

When walking along a trail at your favorite national park,
brown trail signs mark your progress every few miles. These signs serve as a
helpful reminder that you're on the right track as you move toward your goal.
As a Scouting volunteer, the Scouter's Key serves a similar purpose. Volunteers who earn the Key
have made great progress toward becoming effective and trained leaders.
The green-and-white Key represents awards given to a variety
of positions. Scouters who volunteer as a Scoutmaster, commissioner, district committee
member, skipper, or Venturing advisor are eligible to receive the award after
three years of service.
In addition to the tenure requirement, award applicants must
- Fast Start Training
- This Is Scouting
- Specific training for their position
- Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
Leaders also must conduct unit leader training at least
three times and participate in a supplemental training course at the council or
national level.
For details, here's the link for the Scoutmaster's Key
progress record (link opens PDF). Requirements for other Keys are similar.
Best of luck as you continue down your leadership trail.

Oh my gosh these were so yummy--worth every bit of the $20 I spent on a bottle of Bailey's. My first time using reduced fat cream cheese for frosting--I was shocked it tasted so good. I did notice they are quite a bit dry the next day so try to eat them when they are fresh!!!
Mar 8, 2015
These were an all-time favorite for family, co-workers & friends. I don't need to add or subtract from the recipe. I will definitely make this again. It was a great recipe to welcome "Spring" for 2015! I give it a 10 star instead of 5!
Mar 7, 2015
I tried this recipe to see if I would like it for our VFW St Patrick's Day dinner. They were great and will definitely be on the menu. Thank you for a great recipe.

Could these be made as a layer cake?? Sounds very yummy
Apr 9, 2014
I made these for my office and my co-workers loved them.The cupcakes are moist and the flavors are nice and fresh. I substituted mocha in the frosting for the irish cream as they blended very nicely. Popcorn salt added to the frosting gets rid of the extra sweetness in the sugar.
Mar 18, 2014
I made this for a party and everyone loved them. They are so moist and just the right amount of liquor.
Mar 12, 2014
Very Good!
Mar 16, 2013
Cake is excellent, moist and sweet and a crispy edge. Frosting has the perfect balance of Baily's.
Oct 25, 2012
These were tasty according to my husband and his co-workers but too sweet. I knew when I was making them that 1.5 cups of sugar seemed like an awful lot of sugar but wanted to make it exactly as stated for the first go. Next time, I will cut back on the sugar by a half-cup & see how it is. I did like the texture of these cupcakes - dense and very "cakey".

Delicious! Easy to make, too.

Slimmed-down CC feels he can succeed
After struggling last season, ace spent offseason getting into better shape
TAMPA, Fla. -- First things first. As a matter of fact, CC Sabathia does look different. Yes, dramatically different.
Let's go to the tote board. Sabathia weighed in at 275 pounds on Friday morning, which by his estimate is the lowest he has been since his days with the Indians.
Sabathia has weighed as much as 315 pounds during his 13 big league seasons. However, he does not look gaunt or frail. Sabathia simply looks leaner, stronger and healthier.
Incidentally, Sabathia appreciates your concern. That is, he's aware his weight loss incited an Internet firestorm.
You can imagine all the directions that discussion went.
"I thought it was hilarious," Sabathia said.
Sabathia was inspired to lose weight when a cousin died of heart disease in December 2012.
"To be around my family, to be around my kids," Sabathia said. "It was really about that. I just took it upon myself. I probably did it the wrong way -- going into a baseball season last year. But I'm ready for this year."
Sabathia was under 300 pounds by the beginning of Spring Training a year ago and got all the way down to around 280 at one point during the season. And that's where he believes the problems began.
Sabathia's 4.78 ERA was the highest of his career by miles. He won 14 times, his lowest total since 2006. Sabathia's 175 strikeouts were his fewest since 2006 as well. He allowed 112 earned runs, tops in the Majors.
"I feel like I lost a little bit of power last year," the Yankees' ace said. "I think it was just losing that much weight and trying to play a professional sport. I felt like the 'Biggest Loser' last year. I lost a lot of weight, but I just wasn't physically ready to go out and play."
Sabathia's fastball velocity averaged just 91.1 mph, the lowest of his career, according to Fangraphs.com. That's a significant drop from 2012 (92.3 mph) and an even more significant drop from 2009, his first season with the Yanks (94.2 mph).
Sabathia believes that drop could be attributed not to almost 3,000 big league innings, but the effect of quick weight loss. He believes an offseason of conditioning, diet and nutrition, plus a full throwing and workout program, will allow him to get some of that lost velocity back. Even if it doesn't, Sabathia feels he can succeed. Perhaps more important is his stamina.
"By the fourth, fifth inning, I was usually tired," Sabathia said. "That was something we worked on this offseason. Just making sure I'm ready to go out and pitch a full game."
Sabathia missed his final start of 2013 with a strained hamstring, but because he wasn't rehabbing from surgery, he got right back to work on Oct. 9.
"I've been working pretty much the whole offseason to be ready," Sabathia said. "I started throwing the football in October and carried that all the way through to December, when I picked up a baseball. So I've been throwing all offseason. That's normally what I do, so I feel good about it."
Back to that weight loss. If Sabathia had established himself as one of baseball's best, toughest and most durable pitchers while weighing more than 300 pounds, why change? Aren't baseball players superstitious about this stuff?
"I think being a fat guy is a little different than wearing the same glove," Sabathia said. "We'll see this year. I feel like I did two years ago, a lot stronger. My arm feels a lot better. I just feel healthy."
Maybe you've heard that the Yankees went on a spending spree, committing around $500 million to add center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, right fielder Carlos Beltran, catcher Brian McCann and right-hander Masahiro Tanaka.
Still, there are unknowns. How good will Derek Jeter be in his final season? Likewise Mark Teixeira and Michael Pineda, both coming off injuries?
If the Yanks get good news across the board, they're almost certainly good enough to compete with the Red Sox and Rays in the American League East.
Yet a lot of it is about Sabathia and his ability to be a true No. 1 starter, a guy who wants the game on his shoulders in the biggest situations.
Sabathia admits his confidence was shaken at times by last season's struggles. He also admits that he feels a personal responsibility about letting the Yankees down.
"It sticks with me a lot," Sabathia said. "Just being disappointed and not being able to help this team win. I feel like if I could have been a little better, we might have made the playoffs. I blamed myself for a long time in the offseason. Now I'm over it and ready to go this year."

Granted we have had many blows to the integrity of the financial services industry to date but the newly disclosed actions of John Thain go way beyond simple greed, corruption and questionable judgment.
Let's start with this: Thain should have known better. After all, he replaced a CEO who embodied the corruption and excesses of the time - Richard Grasso. Grasso, you may remember, got the boot because he approved his stunning pay package - a whopping $187.5 million a year.
But Thain did him one better. In December, before Bank of America could complete its acquisition of Merrill Lynch, Thain hurriedly pushed through gigantic bonuses (somewhere around $4 BILLION!) for himself and his executive cronies. The bonuses are usually paid in January but he forced them to be paid in December. Why before the BofA acquisition? One can only speculate that BofA probably would not have approved of them, given their shock at the fact that the brokerage had lost $15 BILLION in the fourth quarter and more that $27 Billion for the year.
Perhaps it was Thain's end-of-year vacation in Vail that got people up in arms even as his soon-to-be boss at BofA, Ken Lewis, recommended against it.
But no, the icing on the cake? Thain's decision to spend $1.2 MILLION decorating his Manhattan office -- this as Merrill Lynch was hemorrhaging money and layoffs were pending. How nice that he has volunteered to pay for these extravagances, stating, "They were a mistake in the light of the world we live in today. I will therefore reimburse the company for all of the costs incurred." Ya think???
The era of entitlement at financial companies must change if we are to see any real change for the better. If not, I fear we will read more stories similar to this one. And to Mr. Thain, all I can say is:
May you rot in an exceptionally hot place.
Yours in better times in 2009.

Tullio Levi-Civita's father was Giacomo Levi-Civita who was a lawyer. In fact Giacomo was later, in 1908, appointed as an Italian senator. Tullio, born into a Jewish family, attended secondary school in Padua where he showed his outstanding abilities. He then studied for his degree in the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Padua where he enrolled in 1890. Two of his teachers were Giuseppe Veronese and Ricci-Curbastro and Levi-Civita later collaborated with the latter. He wrote a dissertation, which was supervised by Ricci-Curbastro, on absolute invariants but this also marks the beginning of his use of the tensor calculus [30]:-
By putting together Ricci-Curbastro's algorithm with some results from Lie's theory of transformation groups, Levi-Civita extended the theory of absolute invariants to more general cases than those considered by Ricci-Curbastro.He graduated in 1892 and his dissertation was published in the following year after he had made some minor changes to it. He was awarded his teaching diploma in 1894 and in the following year he was appointed to the teacher's college which was attached to the Faculty of Science at Parvia.
Levi-Civita was appointed to the Chair of Rational Mechanics at Padua in 1898, a post which he was to hold for 20 years. However several times during these twenty years attempts had been made to have him move to Rome. In particular in 1909 Castelnuovo tried hard to persuade him to move, but Levi-Civita was happy to remain in Padua. Levi-Civita was a pacifist with firm socialist ideas and it may well have been that he felt Padua suited his personality better than Rome at the time. Of course he was an outstanding mathematician with an impressive international reputation so it was natural for the University of Rome to try to attract him. While teaching at Padua, Libera Trevisani was one of his pupils and they married in 1914.
After World War I ended, the University of Rome made strenuous efforts to strengthen both its teaching and research and many leading scientists were attracted there. Levi-Civita was always very international in his outlook and the ability of Rome to attract top quality students from abroad must have figured in his reasons to now want to make the move there. In 1918 he was appointed to the Chair of Higher Analysis at Rome, and two years later he was appointed to the Chair of Mechanics there.
The years following World War I were difficult for scientists who wanted to collaborate with those in all countries on an equal footing. The President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, drew up Fourteen Points on 8 January 1917 on which to end World War I. These had not been agreed by the allies. On 4 October 1918 the German government approached Wilson, looking to start peace negotiations and Wilson presented them with the Fourteen Points. After nearly three weeks of negotiations, without the other allies being involved, Germany accepted the Fourteen Points on 23 October. The British and French were certainly unhappy with some of the Fourteen Points and a difficult period followed. In the middle of all of this, Wilson proposed another idea to Britain and France, namely that a structure should be put in place to re-establish international cooperation in science. His proposal was for an International Research Council which would be organised round International Unions for each of the various scientific subjects. These International Unions would operate through National Committees in the countries of the eleven Allied Powers, with these National Committees each supported by its National Academy of Science and National Research Council. The International Unions would have the power to invite neutral countries to join, but not those countries against whom the Allied Powers had fought. Wilson's proposal was accepted and in 1919 the International Research Council was founded. Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria could not be members under the terms of the International Research Council. Levi-Civita was opposed to such ideas as he made clear in a letter he wrote to Sommerfeld in 1920:-
I have always been, and not only in science, a convinced internationalist ... we agree on an essential point - and I am pleased about it - that scientific relationships and personal relationships between scientists coming from different countries should not be perturbed by contingencies or memories of national or state disagreements.When Von Kármán approached Levi-Civita in 1922 suggesting a scientific meeting on fluid dynamics he knew that such a meeting could not be an official congress if German and Italian scientists were both involved so he proposed an informal one. Levi-Civita was enthusiastic but when the meeting took place in Innsbruck in September of that year the only scientists from the Allied Powers to participate were Levi-Civita and members of his research group. This, however, marked the start of the International Congresses of Applied Mechanics with the decision taken at the Innsbruck meeting to include all areas of applied mechanics and the first full congress took place in Delft in 1924. Levi-Civita's role is described in detail by Battimelli in [10]. He writes:-
Tullio Levi-Civita was one of the leading figures in the creation, in the years following World War I, of the International Congresses of Applied Mechanics, and remained an active member of the Congress committee to the end of his life. ... Levi-Civita [made a major] contribution to the life of the Congresses, from the early days of the 1922 Innsbruck conference to the late thirties [with] his role in the international network created by the newborn institution ...It was not just the international situation which gave Levi-Civita problems but also the effect of totalitarianism and anti-Semitism on scientific and university life. He found the national situation in Italy with the rise of Fascism increasingly difficult. In 1931 all Italian professors were required to sign an oath to Fascism. Volterra refused to take the oath and was dismissed. Although he was deeply opposed to such ideas, Levi-Civita felt that for the sake of his family and his research school in Rome he had to sign despite his strong moral objections. He lectured in the United States in 1933 and in Moscow and Kiev in 1935. In 1936 he returned to the United States, lecturing at Harvard, Princeton and the Rice Institute. While in Houston he gave an interview which was seen as critical of Italy and the Italian consul asked for clarification. He was recalled to Italy but because of his leading international status the Italian government felt that it should not react too strongly. Later in 1936 the International Mathematical Congress was held in Oslo but Levi-Civita, and all other Italian mathematicians, were forbidden to attend by their government. Despite this Levi-Civita was appointed as a member of the Commission for awarding Fields Medals.
On 5 September 1938 the Racial Laws were passed which excluded all those of Jewish background from universities, schools, academies and other institutions. Levi-Civita was dismissed from his professorship, forced to leave the editorial board of Zentralblatt für Mathematik, and prevented from attending the Fifth International Congress of Applied Mechanics in the United States. He wrote to a former student in May 1939 (see for example [30]):-
I live as a retired person and I do not move; except in summer, however, if my personal conditions allow me to move. As you maybe know, Jews have been completely expelled from Italian cultural life; in particular, I will not participate in the "Volta Congress" and will not be in Rome in September.The authors of [30] write:-
In the last years of his life, in spite of his moral and physical depression, Levi-Civita remained faithful to the ideal of scientific internationalism and helped colleagues and students who were victims of anti-Semitism; thanks to him, many of them found positions in South America or in the USA.Levi-Civita had very great command of pure mathematics, with particularly strong geometric intuition which he applied to a variety of problems of applied mathematics. One of his papers in 1895 improved on Riemann's contour integral formula for the number of primes in a given interval. He is best known, however, for his work on the absolute differential calculus and with its applications to the theory of relativity. In 1886 he published a famous paper in which he developed the calculus of tensors, following on the work of Christoffel, including covariant differentiation. In 1900 he published, jointly with Ricci-Curbastro, the theory of tensors in Méthodes de calcul differential absolu et leures applications Ⓣ in a form which was used by Einstein 15 years later. The paper was requested by Klein when he met Levi-Civita in Padua in 1899 and, following Klein's wishes, it appeared in Mathematische Annalen.
Weyl was to take up Levi-Civita's ideas and make them into a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. Levi-Civita's work was of extreme importance in the theory of relativity, and he produced a series of papers elegantly treating the problem of a static gravitational field. This topic was discussed in a correspondence between Levi-Civita and Einstein. The paper [15] looks at:-
... the main mathematical and physical questions discussed by Einstein and Levi-Civita in their 1915 - 1917 correspondence: the variational formulation of the gravitational field equations and their covariance properties, and the definition of the gravitational energy and the existence of gravitational waves.Analytic dynamics was another topic studied by Levi-Civita, many of his papers examining special cases of the three-body problem. He began publishing papers on the subject in 1903, with another important paper appearing in 1906 which strengthened his earlier results. In 1920 he published a compendium on the three-body problem in Acta Mathematica. Then near the end of his career he became interested in the n-body problem. In 1950 (nine years after his death) a book by Levi-Civita entitled Le problème des n corps en relativité générale Ⓣ was published. H P Robertson writes in a review:-
This excellent monograph on the n-body problem in the general theory of relativity was prepared about ten years ago, but its appearance now is none the less timely for those who have worried themselves with one or another aspect of the problem. Its major achievements are two: a derivation of the equations of motion of n point masses, free from the subtle errors besetting most of the standard treatments; and a careful discussion of the possible contributions, in the Einsteinian approximation, of the finite size and internal constitution of the bodies involved.He also wrote on the theory of systems of ordinary and partial differential equations. In [18] the authors argue that Levi-Civita was interested in the theory of stability and qualitative analysis of ordinary differential equations for three reasons: his interest in geometry and geometric models; his interest in classical mechanics and celestial mechanics, in particular, the three-body problem; and his interest in stability of movement in the domain of analytic mechanics. He added to the theory of Cauchy and Kovalevskaya and wrote up this work in an excellent book written in 1931.
Levi-Civita's interest in hydrodynamics began early in his career with his paper Note on the resistance of fluids appearing in 1901. He worked later on waves in a canal and his proof of the existence of irrotational waves was a major contribution to a long standing open question. In [33] Levi-Civita's work with his student L S Da Rios on three-dimensional vortex filament dynamics is discussed in detail. Ricca writes:-
Their results include the conception of the localized induction approximation for the induced velocity of thin vortex filaments, the derivation of the intrinsic equations of motion, the asymptotic potential theory applied to vortex tubes, the derivation of stationary solutions in the shape of helical vortices and loop-generated vortex configurations, and the stability analysis of circular vortex filaments. In the light of modern developments in nonlinear fluid mechanics, their work strikes for modernity and depth of results. ... Levi-Civita's work on asymptotic potential for slender tubes is at the core of the mathematical formulation of potential theory and capacity theory.In 1933 Levi-Civita contributed to Dirac's equations of quantum theory.
The Royal Society conferred the Sylvester medal on Levi-Civita in 1922, while in 1930 he was elected a foreign member. He was also an honorary member of the London Mathematical Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. He attended the 1930 Colloquium of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society in St Andrews.
After he was dismissed from his post the blow soon told on his health and he developed severe heart problems. He died of a stroke. Nastasi and Tazzioli write [30]:-
He was one of the most eminent professors in Italy for 40 years and attracted students coming from all countries, whom he encouraged with patience and nobility. Kindness and modesty were manifestations of his soul. Many people benefited from his kindness and retained an ineffaceable memory of his extraordinary personality.

001. I don't really have any new years resolutions. I'd never stick to them even if I planned to. But my main goal is just to have more fun and work less but achieve much more. Oxymoron right? As for blogging goals, I aim to just keep doing what Im doing. If it aint broke dont fix it!
002. To clarify the "using my photos" issue. Basically use them all you want on your blogs as long as Im LINKED back with credit of the original source ie me! Thats making the photo a clickable link, or even just a text link. You dont really need to ask for my permission to use the photos, but Id rather they not be used to sell things.
003. I was hoping to do some outfit photos today, but laziness got the better of me. I have a stye coming in my eye. I think its because I've bought a new mascara and it hasnt agreed with me at all, but only now my eye is red and getting puffy I put two and two together. Its not TOO bad at the moment, but it has got worse this evening, hence why todays picture is a photobooth image I uploaded to Dailybooth earlier. But we shall have to see if it gets worse or not.
004. I've started a new channel for my blog on youtube. ETCllymlrs, is basically going to be just all the stuff that isnt fashion related in video form. Your main concern with the new outfit videos is that they didn't show "personality". I feel they show more about me in terms of how I like things to be: to the point, obvious and aesthetically pleasing, than me blabbing for two mins in low quality about nothing. But we all have our own opinions, but I get that Youtube is about the person behind the camera, and I dont think everyone follows me on here to. So yeah, go subscribe if you want to see that sort of stuff. If your not interested, just sub to the main channel. I am currently uploading a vlog to my second channel, My internet keeps cutting out so its taking forever! IT UPLOADED!
005. Five to Follow: Victoria, Rachel Marie, Anouska, Ashley & Natalie
PS. My blogs had over 120 followers in 4 days, which is probably my all time record, Seriously THANK YOU!
&PPS. Still no numbers, Promise I'll do them tomorrow!

Need a refresher course on Gears of War history on the eve of the release of the third installment? Epic Games has posted a handy timeline that takes you from the Pendulum Wars to when you slip that puppy in your Xbox 360 next week.
It's been awhile since the original Gears of War came out, and I only played the second game in the series for about 15 minutes. While I appreciate the quality, I'm not a big fan of the series, but when I see review scores like these coming in, I'm going to have to check out number 3. Luckily there's the Gears of War Timeline, a place where I can bone up on the game's history without having to hide behind rocks and shoot aliens for hours on end.
Check it out for yourself!

New York, May 20, 2013--Two unidentified assailants on Sunday stabbed to death three employees of a Bengali-language Indian daily in Agartala, the capital of the northeastern state of Tripura, according to news reports.
The men stormed the office building of Dainik Ganadoot in the late afternoon and stabbed two of the paper's employees--Sujit Bhattacharya, or Sunil Bhattacharjee, who was a proofreader, and Balaram Ghosh, a driver--before heading upstairs to where Sushil Chowdhury, the newspaper's editor and owner, lived, according to news reports citing an eyewitness.
Reports said the assailants then stabbed Ranjit Chowdhury, the paper's office manager, before fleeing the building, reports said. The victims were stabbed multiple times.
Police told reporters that Sushil Chowdhury, the paper's editor, bore a strong resemblance to the office manager who was killed. The editor told local reporters he believed he was the target of the attack because the assailants had headed for his living quarters, according to news reports.
News accounts did not immediately report if the editor and office manager were related.
Sushil Chowdhury told reporters he was not aware of a motive for the attack. Nava Thakuria, the secretary of the Journalists' Forum Assam, told CPJ that Dainik Ganadoot reports on local politics and social issues, but that the paper had not covered any sensitive stories in the days preceding the attack. Thakuria also said that Chowdhury had not been aware of any threats prior to the attack.
Police conducted a preliminary investigation at the scene, but no arrests were made. Police said they believed contract killers were used in the attack, but have not yet identified a motive, The Hindu reported.
"Authorities must conduct a thorough investigation to identify the suspects and motive of this awful attack," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator.

Essay writing guide: generating original ideas
Throughout your academic life you're going to have to write many essays. It's very easy to learn the format, the structure of your essays and how they are to be set out, but it is not necessarily so easy to come up with original ideas. The topics you are going to write about are the key to whether or not you are successful. Choosing a topic in which you have a passionate interest or a lot of knowledge is a really smart move. So choosing the right topics mean you are far more likely to get original ideas.
As silly as it may seem, another key point is to write it yourself. Many students feel that they've hit a brick wall, that they have some sort of writer's block and have run out of original ideas. As a result they turn to an ib extended essay writing service and get them to come up with the ideas. This works for some people but for others sometimes the best way to get the best ideas is to do everything yourself.
This is a tried and tested way of coming up with original ideas. The key is to remove all shackles and let your writing flow freely. On a blank piece of paper you simply write any word or words which come into your mind on a particular topic. Make sure the topic is clearly written at the top of the page, and then you simply write, write and write again. You don't stop to think about the spelling or punctuation or the order in which you are writing things. You simply get the words down on the paper. Then when the brainstorming session has finished, you are then able to go through and highlight words which have stimulated ideas for your essay.
Try the opposite approach
So you have your essay topic and you've done some brainstorming and you come up with a number of ideas. Now try writing your essay from the opposite approach. In other words if you were setting out to prove A, change tactics and write the essay setting out to prove the opposite, i.e. B. As an exercise it forces you to think outside the box. All of a sudden what she thought would be a straightforward approach to writing the essay has been turned on its head. This forces you to come up with even more original ideas.

Whatever you do - avoid plagiarism
It's so easy when you are stuck for original ideas to simply copy them from somewhere else. This is self-defeating. You don't feel good about having copied somebody else's work. It's not your original idea and in fact may not be relevant to your essay topic anyway. Think carefully about what you want to do and come up with your own original ideas.

Anytime a storyteller embraces a certain subculture or specialized field, he or she risks losing part of the audience. It shouldn't be so, not if the storyteller did his or her job. If that's the case, it doesn't matter what the story is about because any random consumer can dive in and feel like he or she is part of the group. When I was a comic book editor and potential readers said they had never tried some of the books I worked on because they weren't part of the subculture the stories depicted, I'd usually respond, "Yeah, but you're also not an alien from another planet who can fly, so how is it that you read Superman?"
So, keep that in mind as I inform you that Senna is a new documentary about Formula One racer Ayrton Senna. If you just asked "Who?" or don't know what the difference is between Formula One and NASCAR, don't worry, neither did I. Before seeing Senna, I couldn't have told you anything about the man, I didn't even know his first name; after seeing it, I don't exactly know everything, but I'm so glad I've learned what I have.
The short version is this: Ayrton Senna grew up in Brazil racing go-karts. In the early 1980s, he crossed over to full-fledged Formula One racing, a profession that took him around the world. In his fourth race, he came in second, making incredible gains after starting in the back of the pack. The international racing community took notice. By the end of the decade, he was a superstar and eventually a three-time world champion. Senna was a hero in his native country, a religious man with a humble demeanor contending with a sport that was being transformed by technology. His is a story that ends in tragedy.
Senna was put together by documentary filmmaker Asif Kapadia and writer Manish Pandey. They use archival footage and new audio interviews to piece together the narrative of the boy from Brazil who eventually took over the world. His tale is one of triumph and setback, of a rigorous attention to his craft, of making mistakes and learning how to be better at his chosen sport. We get hints of a personal life--he had some famous girlfriends, he loved working with children--but for a lot of the movie, Ayrton Senna remains inscrutable. We learn about his heated rivalry with French racer Alain Prost and his friendship with the doctor who took care of him after a crash, but even these are related in the context of the cars. Sometimes there are questions or topics approached that never quite seem answered (his charitable work, for instance), but maybe it's because there is no real answer. As the movie progresses, you realize you are getting know plenty about the main man, it's just that his life is all about racing.
And you will also be shocked by how invested you have become in his personal trajectory. It doesn't hurt that a lot of Senna stays on the inside track. Kapadia assumes you'll have at least some passing knowledge of the subject, and he demands you pay attention. Don't worry, if you do, most of what starts out confusing becomes clear. Senna's disqualification from a Japanese Grand Prix is baffling at first, but Kapadia slowly separates the points of view and highlights the rules and regulations and everything becomes clear. The more you chase the impulse to understand, the deeper your connection to the story.
This particularly pays off as the stakes get higher and the races become more crucial. For most of his races, Senna had a camera mounted in his cockpit, meaning we get to see every twist and turn from the driver's seat. While we can never know in full the visceral rush of racing at such high speeds, this at least gives us an idea of the stamina and skill required to navigate the tangled race tracks. By the time we get to Senna's last grand prix, Kapadia has taught us to read the signs. It was clear something bad was coming, and I could feel it all the way down in my gut.
It's impossible to know what Ayrton Senna might have done had he lived longer, but thanks to Senna we can know what he accomplished while he was alive. His biography is a story full of impossible odds and incredible victories, and the victory of this documentary is that it successfully makes the audience a part of the happenings. Senna is effective storytelling. For an hour-and-a-half, you won't just know what it's like to be a Formula One fan, but also a Formula One driver. It's a total rush, to say the least.

ThinkTank necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 797 diseños de 214 diseñadores freelance.
13th Floor
13th Floor is a new company that takes care of companies whole "human resource" and "payroll" problems. In other words, companies outsource their recruitment, disciplinary hearings, work contracts and payroll services to us.
Because human resources and payroll is so admin intensive, its like an unseen department makings sure everything is running smoothly in the background. That is why we liked the name 13th Floor.
We want to be seen as efficient, accurate and trustworthy - and we want to stand out from the crowd. Not really what the "mafia theme" represents.... but we believe we can stand out from your normal boring HR companies and still look - 5 STAR. We don't really want a Mafia theme, we just use this example to describe the font/no color style we might be looking for. Really up to you to make it happen.
Our slogan is:
Behind the scenes, above expectations.
Small to Large companies. Probably business executive that needs to take the decision to outsource to us.
Please be creative - these are just guidelines and suggestions.
What needs to be in the logo:
1) "13th Floor" - most important!
2) "HR & Payroll Solutions" or just "HR & Payroll" - less important but we need to at least mention what we do.
3) The Slogan if you want. Not needed at this point in time. Can always add it later. I'm scared it will take the focus away from the logo itself. The slogan is: "Behind the scenes, above expectations."
But if you want to work it in - please go ahead.
1) This is definitely a font style logo. Minimal graphics. It must be unique, stylish, readable fonts. You can play with font styles, thickness and sizes, especially with the "13" I believe.
2) I almost see this as a black and white logo. I get this old fashioned Mafia / Jack Daniels feel about it. Buildings with no 13th floor - you know. Route 66 kind of feel... without the badge. Newspaper logos also comes to mind, but I believe we can be far more creative than newspaper logos.
3) Minimal graphics that support the font only. I really don't want to see a graphic left and text to the right. Only if the graphics support the text "13th Floor"
4) Its up to you if you want to make is caps or not.
5) The mafia theme is just an idea - by no means do we want something with guns or that represents the "underworld" or something shady.

I will keep you posted as I have 25 more days to go and then my eating habits will be affected forever. It is a strict diet.... nothing from a cow or a pig, no wheat - no bread, cereal, etc.... it also involves eating a lot of vegetables and no coffee (my personal favorite thing in the whole world). I am finally free of my caffeine withdrawl headache just today. It was rough to say the least. My spots are turning skin color, they are healing.... I am so amazed. When I was diagnosed with this a year and a half ago, it was so depressing, and this past summer I got stares at my legs and people saying,"What is that?" I was so embarrassed. Just recently my hands became afflicted badly, bright red ugly spots that look like sores. I work with people and sometimes I know they wondered what disease I had. A good friend of mine told me about this diet. She has been outbreak free for five years now. I will let you know how my progress goes. If this works I want as many people who suffer with this skin condition to know about it.
What is interesting is that all the banned food is my favourite,
