Greetings Muppet fans! Today on The Muppet Mindset, we link you to some of the greatest Muppet things on the web. Things that every Muppet fan needs to see. Things that are hysterically funny and beautifully timeless. Things that came out within the past year.
What? you may ask. Muppet things that have come out within the past year can match the funny, timeless charm of the olden days?
Why, yes, yes they can. We're here to prove it!
Did you know that the Muppets have YouTube accounts? If you didn't... shame on you! Gonzo, Beaker, The Swedish Chef, Fozzie, Sam Eagle, Statler and Waldorf, and Rizzo each have their own YouTube accounts--with video!
Besides hosting hilarious videos on their sites, the Muppets each have hysterical user profiles accompanying them. For instance, on Gonzo's page: "Interests and Hobbies: Performance art, extreme sports, extreme weather, extreme etcetera, bog-snorkeling, poultry and plumbing." I don't care who you are... that right there is funny.
But yes, of course the highlights of the Muppet YouTube infiltration are the videos. Many fans have gushed that these videos harken back to the old days of Muppet history--some even comparing it to Jim Henson's first show Sam and Friends. These videos are one of the first showing signs that the Muppets are back in full, hilarious force. Don't believe me? See for yourself:
- "Ode to Joy"
- "Classical Chicken"
- "Habanera"
- "Stars and Stripes FOREVER"
- "Rolling with the Skateboarding Dog"
- "Skateboarding Dog Gets Served"
- "Blech"
- "Mmph"
- "Meh"
- "Hrmph"
If that ain't enough to excite any Muppet fan, I don't know what is!
Have you been to Muppets.com lately? Have you seen all of the hysterical videos? Have you desperately wanted to play a game of Elevator Bingo with Pepe? If you answered yes to all of these videos, you're a good Muppet fan!
If you answered no... allow me to GASP... and then link you to what you've been missing. The official website of those irreverent puppets that we all love so much (no, not Lamb Chop) is chock full of great, Muppety goodness. The website features "rooms" for Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Pepe, and Animal, and in each room there are loads of great videos to watch. See for yourself: www.muppets.com.
But if you're feeling particularly lazy today, allow me to link you to my ten favorite videos on the site.
10.) "Pepe @ the Drive Thru" - I can't understand jou! Speak English, hokay!
9.) "Working Out With Bobo" - Bobo and Beauregard work out
8.) "Topo Sticky" - Pepe's new friend
7.) "Gonzo's Safety Tips" - Kermit gets a lesson in riding the elevator with Gonzo
6.) "Up with Pepe" - Rizzo and the Rats work on the elevator
5.) "Miss Piggy's Acting Class" - Miss Piggy teaches the power of acting
4.) "Wocka Wocka This Way" - Fozzie tests out a joke on Pepe
3.) "We Need to Talk" - Miss Piggy confronts Kermit
2.) "Battle Hymn of the Elevator" - Glory, glory, hallelujah!
1.) "Elevator Bingo" - The funnest elevator game in town, hokay
I assume you're now on the floor laughing your head off, so I don't expect you to be reading anymore. But, in case you are... At D23 it was announced that the Muppets would host TV Chef Cat Cora on Muppets.com for a new segment called "Cooking With Cat Cora" set to debut sometime this fall. Be on the lookout for it!
For years people have been asking how to get to Sesame Street. Look at this, I give you precise directions with one website link! This is Sesame Street's semi-new official website featuring themed days hosted by various Muppets (e.g.,"The Number Three Day" hosted by The Count), games for preschoolers, and pages for the most popular Muppets on the Street (Abby Cadabby, Bert, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Count von Count, Elmo, Ernie, Grover, Oscar, Rosita, Telly, and Zoe).
But what does this website have for those of us older than four years old? One word: Videos. Yes, the official Sesame Street website is also the best when it comes to video clips of songs and sketches from the happiest street in the world. With over 1008 videos, the site boasts the largest collection of Sesame Street videos anywhere but Sesame Workshop's own archive.
With this many videos available, it's possible to literally spend hours searching the site and enjoying classic and recent Sesame Street. I'll let you discover all the magic and fun of 40 years of Sesame Street compiled in one place for yourself.

Top 10 2013-A9-Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION. Please visit the OWASP Top 10 project page to find the latest edition.
|← A8-Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
|A10-Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards →
|Threat Agents
|Attack Vectors
|Security Weakness
|Technical Impacts
|Business Impacts
|Application Specific
|Application / Business Specific
Some vulnerable components (e.g., framework libraries) can be identified and exploited with automated tools, expanding the threat agent pool beyond targeted attackers to include chaotic actors.
Attacker identifies a weak component through scanning or manual analysis. He customizes the exploit as needed and executes the attack. It gets more difficult if the used component is deep in the application.
Virtually every application has these issues because most development teams don't focus on ensuring their components/libraries are up to date. In many cases, the developers don't even know all the components they are using, never mind their versions. Component dependencies make things even worse.
The full range of weaknesses is possible, including injection, broken access control, XSS, etc. The impact could range from minimal to complete host takeover and data compromise.
Consider what each vulnerability might mean for the business controlled by the affected application. It could be trivial or it could mean complete compromise.
Am I Vulnerable To 'Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities'?
In theory, it ought to be easy to figure out if you are currently using any vulnerable components or libraries. Unfortunately, vulnerability reports for commercial or open source software do not always specify exactly which versions of a component are vulnerable in a standard, searchable way. Further, not all libraries use an understandable version numbering system. Worst of all, not all vulnerabilities are reported to a central clearinghouse that is easy to search, although sites like CVE and NVD are becoming easier to search.
Determining if you are vulnerable requires searching these databases, as well as keeping abreast of project mailing lists and announcements for anything that might be a vulnerability. If one of your components does have a vulnerability, you should carefully evaluate whether you are actually vulnerable by checking to see if your code uses the part of the component with the vulnerability and whether the flaw could result in an impact you care about.
How Do I Prevent 'Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities'?
One option is not to use components that you didn't write. But that's not very realistic.
Most component projects do not create vulnerability patches for old versions. Instead, most simply fix the problem in the next version. So upgrading to these new versions is critical. Software projects should have a process in place to:
Example Attack Scenarios
Component vulnerabilities can cause almost any type of risk imaginable, ranging from the trivial to sophisticated malware designed to target a specific organization. Components almost always run with the full privilege of the application, so flaws in any component can be serious, The following two vulnerable components were downloaded 22m times in 2011.
Every application using either of these vulnerable libraries is vulnerable to attack as both of these components are directly accessible by application users. Other vulnerable libraries, used deeper in an application, may be harder to exploit.

text: Painting has been my passion all of my life. I started painting at the age of eight and always dreamed of being successful at my craft. As a single mother, life took me in a different direction and my art was left behind. Now, I have the time and opportunity to paint and create and dream. I am so happy when I am bringing a canvas to life and share the story within. People often ask me what I paint. Good question. I paint from my passions. This leads me down many paths, never knowing what my next subject will be. It like a new adventure each time I pick up my brushes. Life can be fun if we choose not to grow up!

We've reported on some happiness and subjective wellbeing research earlier. [See also this post and this], including this post on how the UK government is starting to track happiness with a goal of increasing national well-being.
John Helliwell, emeritus professor of economics at UBC and co-director of a CIFAR panel looking into Social Interactions, Identity and Wellbeing, was at Harvard yesterday summarizing his and others' recent research on happiness research, with special attention to the social context of well-being.
John is a relentlessly upbeat and positive person, messianic in his message, but also a hard-nosed social scientist. [With regard to happiness, it's reminiscent of the "When Harry Met Sally" scene, where another dinner seeing Meg Ryan in ecstasy says "I'll have what she's having." Only in John's case, unlike Meg Ryan's, his happiness is heart-felt.] He had the group singing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" and noted after the group sing that research shows that doing things with others, especially making music, is great for increasing happiness, as any choral group member can affirm.
He observed that the amount of data and experimentation regarding happiness research is in its infancy but suspects that the three major points about happiness that will ultimately emerge are:
1. The positive trumps the negative. So much of our society is built around the negative: treating the sick rather than preventing sickness, enacting laws to deal with failures, imprisoning transgressors,… But Helliwell thinks we haven't focused enough on "wellness" studies, observing what ensures that things actually work and make people happy. How does the positive trump the negative? For example, autobiographies of nuns in their 20s were parsed for emotional content and positive emotional content was found to be predictive of longevity. Similarly, mid-life members of the American Psychological Association, whose most important research finding represented something positive rather than negative, also lived longer, controlling for other likely factors.
2. Community trumps materialism. Partly because of advertising and economics, we chase materialism, thinking that a larger house or higher salary will bring us happiness, and in the process live somewhere necessitating a longer commute, less sleep, and less time spent in community. In these Faustian bargains, we wind up less happy rather than more so. Helliwell and Huang have found that a 1% improvement in a worker's relationship with the boss improves happiness as much as a 30% increase in salary. Helliwell noted an experiment that showed that even the act of rowing together improved happiness.
John noted that he is working with Ed Diener, the CDC, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on an effort to get clinicians to ask community-connectedness and wellbeing questions as part of intake exams by physicians.
3. Generosity trumps selfishness. People who give away more of their wealth, regardless of income, feel happier than those who give away less. Similarly, those who did favors for others in the last year felt happier than those who received favors in the last year. The largest happiness effect is seen when people do things for someone together with other people.
Some other observations of Helliwell:
Negative role of media in this process: 2% of Canadians had actually been a victim of crime in the last year but 20+% expected to be in the next 12 months. Similarly, 24% of Toronto residents thought that a stranger would return a lost wallet, when in reality, an experiment showed that 80% did. Because we're less connected with others, we rely much more on the media and the media is largely selling negative news.
Role of income: Worldwide, there is a decent correlation between levels of happiness and levels of income.
But the fact that income and happiness appear related is NOT because the relationship between income and happiness is all that strong, but because the levels of income between say Africa and the US are so different. Many other factors are greater predictors of happiness, like trust of others, social connections, lack of corruption, sense of freedom, religiosity, enough money for food, and social support networks. It is only because these stronger predictors are not higher in say Africa than the US that income looks to be strongly influential.
If one compares say provinces of Canada against each other (Helliwell is Canadian, hence all the Canadian references), income levels do not explain which provinces are happier. The happiness differences are much more about community connection and involvement. The wealthiest provinces (like Ontario where Toronto is or BC where Vancouver is) are the least happy, and some of the poorer provinces like the Maritimes (NE of Maine) are the most happy. While the differences in happiness are not huge between say the Maritimes and BC, it would take a 150% increase in salary to produce the same increase in happiness. Helliwell says the answer is not a question of people from Toronto moving to St. John's (Newfoundland, Canada), but learning and copying the activities and actions that make folks in St. John's happy. In fact just having the Toronto residents move to St. John's is likely to make everyone less happy.
[Helliwell noted that there is one study comparing levels of happiness across US States by Andrew Oswald and Stephen Wu, but Helliwell expressed some skepticism in the happiness data they used. The study found high levels of happiness in Louisiana and low levels of happiness in NY, Connecticut and NJ.]
Helliwell said that work is still being done on the relationship between income and happiness. At a national level, with World Values Survey data, he and Putnam found that around the median level of OECD (developed) countries, income stopped having much of an effect on increasing happiness. Some other more recent data (Gallup World Poll) suggests that a log-linear relationship of income to happiness continues with no declining returns to income. Helliwell noted that Deaton and Kahneman found declines in affective (emotional) subjective wellbeing after an intermediate level of income in these same Gallup data, but no decreasing returns to income in cognitive life satisfaction. Helliwell also noted that raising income of some within a county is not a productive strategy for increasing income since those whose income is raised are happier but others are less happy, in other words it is zero-sum. In contrast, if you are more socially connected into one's community, both you and your community members are happier, even if they are not socially connected (positive externalities).
In world rankings of happiness, Denmark is #1. Canada is higher in happiness than the US (even with lower per capita income) mainly because of the lower perceived levels of government corruption in Canada.
Helliwell believes that a participatory process is key to happiness. Alex Haslam, a social psychologist, has done interesting experiments here. In one experiment, an eldercare facility had a "happy floor" and an "unhappy floor" (for reasons they couldn't determine). They were moving into a new facility and had the "happy floor" get a professionally designed new environment. The "unhappy floor" was assigned to work together to design their own new floor. While professionals scoffed at the design that the "unhappy floor" came up with, in the new facility, the "unhappy floor" became happier in the new facility than any other floor. (Haslam and colleagues call this collective self-realization.) In a second experiment, they randomly assigned some workers to get a first-rate professionally designed cubicle, some to get an average professionally-designed cubicle, and some to design their own cubicle within a given budget. While the professionals similarly scoffed at the self-designed cubicles, the workers in these cubicles were far happier than either of the other two groups. Helliwell thinks that the biggest gains would be workers collectively designing the public spaces at the workplace.
Another experiment with a Singapore prison (called "Captains of Lives and Yellow Ribbon Project") converted it from being a place of punishment to a place to reintegrate people back into society: they held cooking competitions with residents from the community, jogging races together, etc. They found that recidivism rates (re-entry of prisoners back into prison once released) declined dramatically to 25% and that staff retention in the prison rose (since the staff had completely redesigned roles).
Helliwell believes that the art of community connectedness is inherently learnable. He notes that it does take an unusual combination of empathy and nerve (since by suggesting to someone that they attend a block party or do something you run the risk of being rejected). He said this spirit of engagement is infectious. He noted that he gave his talk in the Maritime provinces and asked someone from St. John's whether other St. John's residents ever flipped him the bird when driving; the person replied, "No. If someone gives us the finger, they must be from out of town." Helliwell commented that two people giving each other the finger in rush-hour traffic both go home less happy (a negative externality) whereas two people waving to each other in traffic both go home happier.
– With regard to immigration, he noted that immigration challenges community levels of happiness since it is harder for immigrants to get involved and be connected (since they have severed many friendships and community ties through their migration, and since they may have language issues and severe time constraints to getting involved if holding down multiple jobs). He thinks the answer is multiculturalism and pointed to the work of Irene Bloemraad. He thinks that rather than artificially positing that bonding social capital (the ties of immigrants to each other) and bridging social capital (the ties of immigrants to natives) are zero-sum, that instead the happiest immigrants have significant levels of both bonding and bridging social ties. [In other work we have done, it appears that the bonding ties often precede the bridging ties and it is not until immigrants feel that they have their own bonding support networks that they feel comfortable reaching out.]
Our inability to learn from the experiences of others. Heliwell was asked about research by Dan Gilbert; Gilbert found in experiments with Harvard students, that new students continued to take paths that gave them greater choice (thinking it would bring them greater happiness) even when presented with data from prior cohorts of Harvard students indicating that greater choice brought them less happiness. In other words, they couldn't learn from others' experiences about how to achieve happiness. Helliwell described an experiment by Dan Ariely and others in priming: most people cheat slightly in their self-scoring of tests, but students who were asked to recall as many of the Ten Commandments as they could before scoring their tests, scored themselves accurately. Even if we can't get people to change their erroneous thought processes (e.g. more choice = more happiness), through priming Helliwell believes that we may be able to change behavior.
– He was asked whether parents are the least happy group and what the impact of children is on happiness. Helliwell said it is hard to ferret out. Most people exhibit a U-shaped lifecycle for happiness: they are happiest in their youth and retirement and less happy in middle age. The shape of the curve may depend a lot on governmental policy — how much they support people in their elder years. Child rearing typically occurs when people are less happy anyway, but he thinks it is not children that are bringing them unhappiness, but the competition and conflict people in those years feel between their roles (work, parenting, relationships, homeowning, etc.). He noted that the loss of a child brings extreme depression (suggesting how much children are valued), and while he said he has not seen great data on this, he suspects that children and grandchildren bring great happiness in retirement years.
– Helliwell also asserted that several "set point" theorists had abandoned their claims in the face of better data. The "set point" theorists have argued that everyone has some baseline level of happiness (some are relatively happy, some unhappy) and that good or bad events (winning a lottery, losing a leg) momentarily dislodge a person from their set point but they return to their baseline level of happiness over a period of months or years. Helliwell says that the data do not support this notion that we adapt to everything. [See also Andrew Oswald's work in 2007 on lottery winners and interview with Sharon Begley.]
He closed by suggesting that we should treat each elevator ride as a place for experimentation rather than a brief prison sentence.
[Good summary post on the Atlantic by Derek Thompson based on analysis by the New Economics Foundation of 10 things economics can tell us about happiness. Things associated with higher happiness: being wealthy (but only to a point); higher public spending; going from part-time to full-time work; and self-employment. Things associated with lower happiness: income inequality; inflation; unemployment; credit card debt; working more hours (if already working full-time); and longer commutes.]

BEIRUT (AP) — The Latest on the conflict in Syria (all times local):
8 p.m.
A Turkish minister says reports that Syrian government forces are entering a Syrian Kurdish-held enclave "are false," adding that any move by Damascus to protect the Kurdish militia there would be a "disaster" for the region.
Speaking to reporters after a weekly Cabinet meeting Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said Turkey was determined to continue its military offensive in the Afrin enclave and has no plans to withdraw.
Bozdag said "this offensive will continue with determination until the last terrorist is rendered ineffective." Turkey views the Kurdish fighters in Afrin as terrorists because of their links to insurgents fighting inside Turkey's borders.
Syrian state media reported earlier that pro-government forces would enter Afrin "within hours" to "bolster" local forces in confronting Turkey's "aggression" after reaching an agreement with the Kurdish militia.
Bozdag said: "This report has not been confirmed by authorities. It is false and has no relation with the truth."
4:45 p.m.
Turkish officials say the president has held a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart during which the two reaffirmed their determination to cooperate in the fight against "terrorism" in Syria.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin on Monday also discussed Turkey's military offensive in the Syrian Kurdish-held enclave of Afrin and their efforts to set up observation posts in Syria's northern Idlib province. The posts are being set up as part of a joint Turkish, Russian and Iranian agreement to establish a "de-escalation" zone in the region.
The Turkish officials detailed the call on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.
The two leaders spoke as Syrian state media reported that pro-Syrian government forces will begin entering Afrin. Turkey's foreign minister has said his country is ready to battle the Syrian troops if they enter to protect Syrian Kurdish fighters.
— Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey
4:15 p.m.
Syrian opposition activists and paramedics say government airstrikes and the shelling of rebel-held eastern suburbs of the capital have killed at least 18 people.
The targeted suburbs, known as eastern Ghouta, have been subjected to weeks-long bombardment that has killed and wounded hundreds of people.
Opposition activists say government forces have brought in reinforcements in preparation for a wide offensive on the last main rebel stronghold near the capital.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday's airstrikes and shelling on suburbs including Saqba, Sheifouniyeh and Jisreen killed 18 people.
The Syrian Civil Defense, volunteer first responders known as the White Helmets, said 30 people were killed in eastern Ghouta.
Syrian state TV reported that rebels fired dozens of mortar rounds and rockets at Damascus, wounding eight people.
1:20 p.m.
The Turkish foreign minister says his country is ready to battle Syrian government troops if they enter an enclave in northern Syria to protect Syrian Kurdish fighters.
Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke on Monday in Jordan's capital, Amman, as Syrian state media reported that pro-Syrian government forces will begin entering the Afrin enclave "within hours," after reaching an agreement with the Kurdish militia in control of the region.
The official Syrian news agency SANA said the forces will deploy in Afrin to "bolster" local forces in confronting Turkish "aggression." This suggested the Syrian government and Kurdish fighters — a militia known as YPG militia — have struck a deal under which the government forces would help repel an ongoing Turkish offensive on the enclave.
The Turkish minister says that "if the regime is entering to protect the YPG, then no one can stop us, stop Turkey or the Turkish soldiers."
11:25 a.m.
Turkish officials have increased to 786 the number of people detained so far in Turkey for criticizing the country's military offensive in northern Syria.
Authorities have been cracking down on protests and social media criticisms of its military operation into the Syrian Kurdish-held enclave of Afrin, accusing perpetrators of engaging in "terror propaganda."
Those detained have included Kurdish politicians and doctors in Turkey who have warned against the operation's human costs.
Turkey launched its offensive on Jan. 20 to clear Afrin of Syrian Kurdish militia which Turkey considers to be an offshoot of its own outlawed Kurdish rebels fighting within Turkey.
An Interior Ministry statement on Monday says at least 587 incidents of social media "propaganda" and 85 protests had occurred since Jan. 20
11:15 a.m.
Syrian state TV says pro-government forces will begin entering the Syrian Kurdish enclave of Afrin in the country's northwest "within hours."
The TV gave no further details about the deployment of the troops, known as "popular forces," which comes amid reports that an agreement has been reached between the Syrian government and the main Syrian Kurdish militia in control of the area.
The agreement may prompt Turkey to pull out its forces and end a month-long air and ground offensive that aims to oust the Syrian Kurdish militia known as the People's Protection Units, or YPG, from the border enclave.
The deployment would bring Syrian troops closer to the border with Turkey.

We've all seen the excessive number of questions on MSO about the recent reputation recalc. It seems to me that the change was communicated in every reasonable way, but many seem to be able to miss the information bars on the sites, and on MSO when they go to ask about it. Is there anything else that could have been done to improve the process or is this just an example of what Joel meant when he said:
In fact, users can't read anything, and if they could, they wouldn't want to.
Also, is there anything we can generalize from this experience about communicating change in our own projects?
Note: This is not meant as a criticism of the team, but rather a discussion of how we can all improve our user communication.

Welcome to the 13th (free!) "Dear Lucky Agent" Contest on the GLA blog. This is a recurring online contest with agent judges and super-cool prizes. Here's the deal: With every contest, the details are essentially the same, but the niche itself changes—meaning each contest is focused around a specific category or two. So if you're writing either a science fiction novel (adults or teens) or any kind of young adult novel, this 13th contest is for you! (The contest is live through January 31, 2013.)
After a previous "Dear Lucky Agent" contest, the agent judge, Tamar Rydzinski (The Laura Dail Literary Agency), signed one of the three contest winners. After Tamar signed the writer, she went on to sell two of that writer's books! How cool! That's why these contests are not to missed if you have an eligible submission.
E-mail entries to email@example.com. Please paste everything. No attachments.
The first 150-200 words of your unpublished, book-length work of your sci-fi novel or young adult novel. You must include a contact e-mail address with your entry and use your real name. Also, submit the title of the work and a logline (one-sentence description of the work) with each entry.
Please note: To be eligible to submit, you must mention this contest twice through any social media. Please provide a social media link or Twitter handle or screenshot or blog post URL, etc., with your offical e-mailed entry so the judge and I can verify eligibility. Some previous entrants could not be considered because they skipped this step! Simply spread the word twice through any means and give us a way to verify you did; a tinyURL for this link/contest for you to easily use is http://tinyurl.com/a8msdw2. An easy way to notify me of your sharing is to include my Twitter handle @chucksambuchino somewhere in your mention(s) if using Twitter. And if you are going to solely use Twitter as your 2 times, please wait 1 day between mentions to spread out the notices, rather than simply tweeting twice back to back. Thanks.
Science fiction novels of any kind, as well as young adult novels of any kind.
- This contest will be live for approximately 14 days—from Jan. 17, 2013 through the end of Jan. 31, 2013, PST. Winners notified by e-mail within three weeks of end of contest. Winners announced on the blog thereafter.
- To enter, submit the first 150-200 words of your book. Shorter or longer entries will not be considered. Keep it within word count range please.
- You can submit as many times as you wish. You can submit even if you submitted to other contests in the past, but please note that past winners cannot win again. All that said, you are urged to only submit your best work.
- The contest is open to everyone of all ages, save those employees, officers and directors of GLA's publisher, F+W Media, Inc.
- By e-mailing your entry, you are submitting an entry for consideration in this contest and thereby agreeing to the terms written here as well as any terms possibly added by me in the "Comments" section of this blog post. (If you have questions or concerns, write me personally at chuck.sambuchino (at) fwmedia.com. The Gmail account above is for submissions, not questions.)
Top 3 winners all get: 1) A critique of the first 10 double-spaced pages of your work, by your agent judge. 2) A free one-year subscription to WritersMarket.com ($50 value)!

Main content
Unit: Physical processes
Foundational Concept 4: Complex living organisms transport materials, sense their environment, process signals, and respond to changes using processes that can be understood in terms of physical principles.
4A: It's gym day. Today you are going to run, swim, and lift weights. In physics terms, we can describe these actions in terms of vectors and scalars. For instance, if you throw a discus across a field with a 20-pound force westward, that is an example of a vector: an entity with both magnitude and direction. However, when you show off about how many laps you can swim in an hour, you are referring to speed, a scalar, which does not specify direction. An understanding of vectors and scalar will provide a foundation to many of the other basic concepts in physics.
4A: With every beat, your heart pumps blood throughout the vessels of your body. Let's look at the radial artery, one of the vessels in your arm. How fast is the blood going at a particular point in time, and in what direction? The speed is an absolute number without direction - 1.8 kilometers per hour in this case. Velocity expands on the speed, which is an absolute value, by adding direction - for instance, 1.8 kilometers per hour downward. It's that easy! you already grasping the concept of speed and velocity, terms used to describe the rate of change in our distance over time.
4A: Let's imagine blood flowing through the aorta, one of the great vessels in our body. At peak velocity, blood may flow at 92 cm/sec (during contraction) or perhaps 60 cm/sec during relaxation. Going from 60 cm/sec to 92 cm/sec in 1 second is a lot different from going from 60 cm/sec to 92 cm/sec in 10 seconds. That difference is acceleration, that is, how quickly the car changes its velocity over time. (When you hear automobile enthusiasts compare the "0 to 60" capabilities of the latest sportscar, they are referring to the acceleration).
4A: Apples would not fall without a force to propel them downward. These three laws described by the famous Englishman centuries ago still inform our understanding of the physical world today. When you push a patient's bed down the halls of the hospital, you are providing a force in a direction. If we know the magnitude of the force we provide as well as the mass of the patient and the hospital bed, we can calculate the acceleration of the patient and his bed using Newton's Second law (F=ma).
4A: How do forces work inside an elevator or when you slide a box across the floor? Normal forces are forces which act perpendicularly to surfaces. When you see a patient in a hospital bed, the reason he does not fall through the bed is because the ground provides the patient with a normal force that directly opposes the force of the Earth's gravity on your the body (this is why you aren't sinking to the Earth's core right now). We will walk through real-world physical examples like these to shed light on normal forces.
4A: Let's picture an adventurous rock-climber hanging at the edge of a cliff. Gravity is providing a downward force. The only reason he does not fall down to the valley below is due to the force of tension upward, provided by the muscles of his arm. You will work through some interesting real-world problems involving tensile forces in these tutorials.
4A: If you've ever moved from one town to another, you are likely familiar with inclined planes. When you push up that 50 pound box into the long flatbed truck , there are several forces at play: the weight of the box, the frictional force between the box and the ramp, and the force of your push. We will explain how these forces interact so next time the move won't be so back-breaking.
4A: Work doesn't always have to break your back. In physics, it has a different meaning. When a force is applied to an object and results in displacement, work has been done. When an apple falls from a tree, gravity has done work on the object as it descends earthward. And as work is done by gravity on the object, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (which is also why it hurts as it lands on your head, hopefully resulting in a brilliant Newtonian idea). Let's get moving!
4B: Fluids can be fun even when they're not moving. A still pond has more going on with it than meets the eye - why exactly do you even float when you decide to jump in on a scalding summer day? It's because you displace a volume of water that provides a buoyant force upward, counteracting the downward pull of gravity. You will find out why the great Archimedes ran through the streets of Syracuse shouting "eureka" millennia ago in Ancient Greece as we also delve into the concepts of pressure, specific gravity, buoyancy, and Bernoulli's principle.
4B: In these videos you'll learn more about fluids. Bernoulli's equation will describe the behavior of fluids in motion. The Venturi effect, turbulence, surface tension and viscosity will be discussed as well as the difference between arteries and veins.
4B: Imagine taking a balloon and heating it up by putting it in a sauna. What would happen? Gases, though you may not be able to see them, are perpetually in motion. You will encounter them if you ever frequent an operating room, as the anesthesiologist holds in his arsenal several gases with doze-inducing properties. We will walk through the history and application of the ideal gas law to real-world problems as you also come to appreciate the meaning of partial pressures and STP in these tutorials.
4A: Though we may not be able to always visualize them, gases are comprised of atoms and molecules. We'll explore the molecular behavior that determines the pressure and temperature of a gas. In addition, we will discuss the first law of thermodynamics and heat capacity.
4C: Ouch! have you ever heard of people being struck by lightning? Have you ever seen a defibrillator used to shock a patient back from the jaws of death? These amazing phenomena are possible due to the action of electric charges. Like masses, electric charges can have an associated force and a potential energy within a field. In these tutorials, you will discover how electric charges interact with one another and will arrive at an understanding of the concepts of electric force, fields, and potential.
Always follow the path of least resistance. In these videos you will learn how to interpret circuit diagrams and the rules that govern the flow of electrons - or current - through wires and resistors.
4C: Capacitors are simply components which store electrostatic energy in a field. They are similar to batteries - however, capacitors only store new electricity rather than producing it through a chemical reaction like a battery does. You will walk through a mathematical description of how capacitors function and how they work within electrical circuits.
Magnets - how do they work? Guaranteed way to win a nobel prize: find a magnetic monopole. If you don't know what that is, these videos would be a good place to start. Notable achievements of magnets - they put current in our homes, the protect us from dangerous cosmic rays, and they make particles at CERN go really really fast so we can learn more about science!
Recall from chemistry that electrons are transferred between atoms during redox reactions. When redox reactions occur on a conductive surface, the moving electrons can be collected as a current, with the voltage being dependent on the species used in reaction. Find out how batteries are made and the chemistry that makes them function by watching these videos.
4D:Some sounds are loud (high amplitude) like someone yelling, while others are soft (low amplitude) like a whisper. Some sounds are low pitched (low frequency) like a fog-horn, while others are high-pitched (high frequency) like a pager. You may have even noticed that the pitch of an ambulance rises as it rushes towards you and drops as it moves away. This is the Doppler effect in action. Here you will learn about the basics of sound properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
4D: Believe it or not, light has both wave-like and particle-like properties, as evidenced by the concepts of polarization, interference, and the photon model. In this modern age of medicine, we have seen a rise in the clinical use of the laser (which actually stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation"). As we discuss theories outlined by geniuses like Max Planck several decades ago, you'll discover how light rays interfere in double slit, single slit, and diffraction gratings.
They aren't the same as what you see in CSI:Miami, but molecules do have fingerprints. No two molecules have the same absorption spectra. We can use this fact to determine the composition of a material, its concentration, and measure it's kinetics. Learn how to use this fantastic tool now!
Let's shift gears and take a peak at 1H-NMR. When you bring a magnet close to iron filings, the filings align with the applied field. The hydrogen atoms of molecules behave similarly under a strong magnetic field, but bounce back and radiate when the field is removed. in this section you will learn how to interpret the spectra created by proton NMR.
4D: Without lenses, we would not be able to examine the layers of the skin or to observe the habits of the pink flamingo from a distance. If you have ever used a microscope, binoculars, or a magnifying glass, you have benefited from the workings of a thin lens, which refracts rays of light as it passes through the medium. In these tutorials, you'll learn how to use ray tracings and the thin lens formula to predict the sizes and orientation of images created by thin lenses. We will apply these concepts to a discussion of the human eye.
4D: Have you ever been to a house of mirrors at a carnival, or maybe seen one in the movies? Curved mirrors are fun, and so is a description of their physics. It's actually possible to roughly predict what an image produced by a mirror will look like using just pen and paper. You will discover the difference between real and virtual images as we draw ray tracing diagrams to show how images are formed by spherical mirrors.
4D: Reflection and refraction of light rays allow us to take in the visual world around us. Perhaps you have seen surgeons outfitted with magnifying glasses in order for them to grasp the tiniest vessels of the body. And if you've ever looked in a mirror to comb your hair in the morning, you've benefited from the power of a reflective mirror. You may have also noticed that things look different when seen underwater. We will explore how light rays bend as they penetrate surfaces like water or reflect as they meet surfaces like that of a mirror.
4E: An introduction to the nucleus including isotopes, mass defects, and radioactive decay.
1s, 2s, red s, blue s. Electrons spin around a the nucleus of an atom in various spherical and teardrop shaped orbitals. The following section will show how the periodic table is built around these orbitals, and how the electronic structure of atoms dictates how they interact with light and other atoms.
4E: A little more than a century ago, the chemist Dmitri Mendeleev published an early form of the periodic table, which organizes the known elements of our world by ionization energy and electron affinity. His method of classifying the elements was so useful that we still use it even today. We will learn to apply this elegant table to an understanding of atoms and molecules in this tutorial. Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon…
4E: A cake recipe calls for 2 eggs and 4 cups of flour, but you have 3 eggs, and 3 cups of flour. In this example, flour is our limiting reagent, that is, its small amount preventing you from completing the reaction of making the cake since we do not have enough (while we have more than enough eggs to make the cake). We'll extend this simple example to chemical reactions with atoms and molecules. You'll learn to balance chemical reactions, a concept that will be applied to several other problems in chemistry.
We are now going to look at chemical reactions. But as we do, we need to make sure that atoms aren't magically appearing or disappearing. Put another way, we need to sure that we have the same number of each constituent atom in the product of the reaction as we do in the reactants (the molecules that react)!
4E: You're the resident on call in the wards of the hospital and have been receiving calls all day long. When you finally plug in your phone for charging, a redox reaction takes place to refuel its battery. At one terminal of the battery, a reaction is producing free electrons, while the other end absorbs these electrons. We will delve into the mechanics of this elegant process - part of the reason we are able to live in an increasingly wireless world - in this tutorial.

MWC 15 Special
Everybody - hopefully - loves the Slingbox and everybody - hopefully - loves Windows RT and the RT powered Microsoft Surface but how do both play together well? While Sling Media offers a couple of pretty good clients for different platforms, namely Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS and Windows Phone, there's yet no client available for Windows RT. And while Windows RT comes with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10, Sling Media's web player is also not an option because it requires an ActiveX plug-in which can't be installed on ARM powered Windows RT devices. The only chance is to access your compatible Slingbox through Facebook but who wants to watch TV via Facebook?
Thankfully there's even another alternative Sling Media offers - it's Flash based SlingPlayer for web which also works fine with Windows RT's Internet Explorer 10. Nevertheless, Sling Media isn't offering the Flash player as a stand-alone solution but offers it for embedding it into web sites. And here we go with the::unwired's SlingPlayer RT, created to be used with Microsoft Surface RT tablets and Windows RT in general.
the::unwired's SlingPlayer RT is a sleek no-frill stand-alone page which is designed to provide easy and convenient access to compatible Slingboxes. It's compatible with and optimized for Windows 8 and Windows RT and gives Slingbox users an easy way to place-shift TV. The Flash player plug-in itself is developed and provided by Sling Media, and therefore no Slingbox data is shared with the::unwired.
Since the::unwired and the hosting space is financed by ads, the::unwired's SlingPlayer RT is also containing some banners. However, since nobody really likes it to be bothered by ads and we see enough of them on TV already, you can hide them whenever you want, with a simple tap, and they won't come back during the current session - promised!
After login to your Slingbox account (you have to create one first to use the SlingPlayer RT web page), you have full access to all of its supported features. For sure you can also watch your favorite TV show full screen - the upstream and downstream bandwidth is the only limit.
Unfortunately, Sling Media's Flash player isn't supporting all of the company's ever launched Slingboxes due to technical reasons and therefore the::unwired's SlingPlayer RT is also only supporting the Slingbox Solo, the Slingbox Pro-HD as well as the brand new Slingbox 350 and Slingbox 500. But if you have one of these Slingboxes and a Windows RT powered tablet, you can now place-shift your favorite TV program again.
As said before, the::unwired's SlingPlayer RT is fully Internet Explorer 10 and Windows 8/Windows RT compatible and therefore you can even pin the page to your Start desktop. But for sure it's also working on Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Happy place-shifting and cheers ~ Arne

A young Canadian named Bob Lapointe started the fast food revolution in Australia in 1968 when he opened the first KFC (formerly Kentucky Fried Chicken) restaurant at Guildford in Sydney's western suburbs.
The first KFC restaurant was built on this site and opened on 27th April 1968, with a staff of 25.
KFC now has more than 600 stores in Australia and New Zealand, which are company owned or franchised.
There are over 12,000 employees working on a permanent and casual basis at KFC in Australia and 3,200 in New Zealand.KFC History - Colonel Sanders
Colonel Harland Sanders, founder of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken, was born on September 9, 1890. When he was six, his father died and his mother was forced to go to work while young Sanders took care of his three year old brother and baby sister. This meant he had to do much of the family cooking. By the time he was seven, Harland Sanders was a master of a range of regional dishes.
After a series of jobs, in the mid 1930s at the age of forty, Colonel Sanders bought a service station, motel and cafe at Corbin, a town in Kentucky about 25 miles from the Tennessee border.
He began serving meals to travellers on the dining table in the living quarters of his service station because he did not have a restaurant.Why Does KFC Taste So Good?
A lot goes into our great taste. There's our commitment to using fresh, quality chicken and the freshest local ingredients from trusted suppliers. There's our belief that distinctive food relies on authentic recipes. And, of course, there's our proud history in Australia, where we've been serving great food for over 40 years and are now loved by over 2 million customers a week.
We believe there has never been a more exciting time to be part of Yum! Restaurants International in Australia! (YRI). When YRI was created, we had the privilege of possessing a heritage of success in the great brands of Pizza Hut®, A&W®, KFC®, Long John Silver's®, and Taco Bell®. These brands enjoy worldwide recognition and have been the leaders in the quick service industry dating back to 1919.
Our Franchisees have over 40 years history of contributing their talent, commitment, and passion to building our brands, strengthening the system, and enjoying the satisfaction and rewards that come from being a part of a winning team.Nutrition Information

Document for component "com_katamaros" for Joomla.
Components Name : com_katamaros
Component Version : 2.5.
Component Description :
A script to generate and display the Synaxarium, the Daily Readings and the Synopsis of the Daily Readings as used by the Coptic Othodox Churches.
Included is also a searchable Holy Bible.
These scripts are all available in the English and Arabic language.
License : Selected users only at request.
Author's Name : Chris Sengers
Author's home pages : http://coptic.pageshere.com.
Author's Email : here with this link.
Added notice:
This component started life in the days of "phpNuke" some time in the year 2003.
It started with a request to help set up a database and generation of pages for the Synaxarium.
After becoming aware of the CMS called "Mambo", I migrated what I had thus far for use with that CMS.
At that time I also was asked to try to put together a component for display of the Holy Bible.
During that time there was a split in the "Mambo" group and I followed them to "Joomla" on 20 August 2005.
Further development occurred and the component is now available in both English and Arabic.
The whole exercise would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of some very devoted webmasters of Coptic Orthodox Church websites.
Their knowledge of what is required and where to obtain the information made it possible to put all this together.
They guided me to get all of the translations from English into Arabic.
However, there will be instances that what is displayed is not correct.
I therefor ask all the users of this component not to hesitate and contact me with their concerns.

Matt Schaub is having another rough day. He hasn't thrown for a touchdown, and then in the third quarter, he went down with a leg injury. Texans fans cheered backup TJ Yates. Then, naturally, Yates threw another damn Texans pix-six.
You can hear the isolated audio of the Texans fans cheering in the video above—they were already grumpy after two Texans fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown. They cheered a little through the injury, and cheered even louder when Yates came onto the field.
Yates actually drove the Texans down the field pretty efficiently, before getting into the red zone. Then this happened:

You may anticipate you accept the "perfect" resumé, but a hiring administrator — who is attractive for specific things — may disagree. Here are seven affidavit why your resumé may accept been rejected:
1. Too abundant focus on accomplishments and acquaintance that is extraneous to the position If you're in your 50s or 60s, you may be apprehensive whether to accommodate all your job acquaintance on your resumé. The accuracy is: it depends.
Are you abiding to the workforce afterwards blockage home for abounding years? If so, part- time jobs; assignment you did in, or adapted out of, academy and volunteering can annular out your resumé and appearance the abilities you've obtained. On the added hand, if you accept decades of around-the-clock experience, accord your resumé a haircut. Here are a few items to accede t:
If you anticipate it's important to accommodate some of these, accomplish references to them as abbreviate as possible. For example, rather than eliminating a job access entirely, artlessly account the name of the employer, your job appellation and the years you formed there.
2. Missing keyword phrases that resumé scanners demand Afore your resumé anytime alcove an HR being or hiring manager, it apparently will be scanned for assertive keyword phrases. Abounding companies use scanning software to booty some of the workload off of their staff. If your resumé doesn't accommodate the adapted keywords, it may be alone afore a animal could anytime see it.
Customize your resumé for anniversary job aperture by inserting accordant keywords. These can be pulled from the job advertisement itself, industry publications and added sources. A aggregation such as JobScan can admonition ensure that your resumé is optimized for resume robots.
3. Your resumé doesn't bout your added appliance abstracts If a hiring administer decides to dig a little deeper, it's important that aggregate you present adds up. Your resumé, awning letter, alike your references amalgamate to actualize an all-embracing consequence of who you are.
Be abiding aggregate you present to a abeyant employer is consistent. If you charge admonition befitting your messaging on track, there are assets such as Hudson and ResumesCentre, which action resumé and awning letter autograph assistance, templates and career advice.
4. Leaving inappropriate agreeable on your amusing media accounts If you've developed a able attendance on amusing media, you should accommodate advice about your amusing media accounts on your resumé. But… if you accept accounting or aggregate agreeable that ability be beheld as abhorrent or controversial, that could actively abuse your affairs of accepting hired. Get rid of it.
5. Failing to focus on what you can contribute Save animadversion about pay, allowances and advance abeyant for the negotiations phase. Your resumé should be all about what you can accompany to the table. What abilities do you have? What accept you done at your accepted employer or antecedent administration to advance the basal band or admonition things run better?
Show proof! Don't aloof say that you bigger processes in chump service. Say that you created a affairs that led to a 25 percent advance in chump achievement for over-the-phone support.
6. Typos and poor editing There's no allowance for spelling or grammar goofs in your resumé. Fortunately, there are affluence of accoutrement you can use to aftermath absurdity chargeless resumés, such as ProWritingAid. You ability additionally accede accepting a acquaintance or ancestors affiliate booty a glance at your resumé, too. A additional set of eyes may t mistakes or awkward diction that you missed.
7. Resumé formatting and agreeable that isn't a cultural fit The way your resumé looks and reads should be adapted for the employer area you're applying. If you are activity for a job area adroitness and assortment are valued, acquisition means to accent in your resumé items that appearance your relevance. Your awning letter additionally provides an accomplished befalling to authenticate cultural fit.
Next Avenue brings you belief that are alarming and change lives. We apperceive that because we apprehend it from our readers every distinct day. One clairvoyant says,
"Every time I apprehend a post, I feel like I'm able to booty a single, bright assignment abroad from it, which is why I anticipate it's so great."
Your acceptable donation will admonition us abide to accompany you the advice you affliction about. What adventure will you admonition accomplish possible?

Dentist offers cash for candy deal to kids
A dentist in West Des Moines is making her annual offer to children to buy their Halloween candy for cash.
Dr. Steffany Mohan is offering to pay $1 per pound for unopened candy.
Trick-or-treaters can bring their sweets to Plaza Dental at 1089 Jordan Creek Parkway on Oct. 31 from 3-5 p.m. and on Nov. 4 from 3-5 p.m. to receive the cash for candy deal.
The collected treats will be shipped to our troops overseas so they can enjoy Halloween away from home.
"Kids can have all the fun of trick-or-treating, plus a piggy bank bonus," said Mohan in a news release.
She said candy consumption is almost unavoidable this time of year, but there are both good and bad candy options.
Mohan said the worst candy choices are chewy and sticky sweets, such as gummy candies, taffy, even dried fruit as well as sugary snacks, including candy corn, cookies and cakes are another poor choice.
"Kids will need to brush as soon as they eat sticky and sugary treats because these types of treats get stuck in the crevices of teeth and cause decay," said Mohan.
She advises you should also avoid sour candies because they are highly acidic and can break down tooth enamel quickly. If you do have sour candy wait at least 30 minutes after eating to brush your teeth to avoid brushing the acid onto more tooth surfaces and increasing the risk of enamel erosion.
Mohan said some of the better candy choices include sugar-free lollipops and hard candies which stimulate saliva, and help prevent dry mouth.
"A dry mouth allows plaque to build up on teeth faster, leading to an increased risk of cavities," said Mohan.
Sugar-free gum can actually prevent cavities by dislodging food particles from between the teeth and increasing saliva.
Dark chocolate and its antioxidants, according to some studies, can be good for the heart and may even lower blood pressure.

Greetings from the Arctic Circle, my friends!
We finally arrived here on Monday morning, after travelling for almost 30 hours. Needless to say we've been jet lagged, but very excited at the same time. It feels so good to be home. Spring has arrived even on these altitudes, but it is still early days and we even had a few snowflakes falling down yesterday. I've taken a few happy snaps here and there and will share those with you a bit later.
Whilst we are busy getting everything organised for the wedding, I've invited another fabulously inspiring friend as a guest here on my blog. I've been a huge fan of Elenore's blog for quite some time now and her endless positive energy has been both addictive and contagious. I am so honoured to have Elenore here to answer a few questions about her raw food journey and share yet another delicious recipe with us.
Thank you Elenore and much love back to you!
I just fell in love. With myself. And yes, it had everything to do with the Liquorice toffee on the picture above. I might even have to go get me a ring or something.
If you are familiar with me or with Earthsprout then you know I tend to rave about all kinds of Greenylicious health boosting things but quite frankly it is Raw chocolate and leafy veggie-focused most of the time. So now I'm breaking a pattern for Beautiful Maria and all of you Scandi Foodies on this amazingly bright page! I am really happy to get to share these recipes with you (cuz then you´ll fall in love with yourselves too) plus I am crazy glad to be able to help Maria give all her attention to the wedding. I think we all agree that she should, right!?
Now you might be wondering who on earth I am who suddenly popped up here. Well, I am Elenore, your official Tree Hugger and Sassy Health Gal. I run with the wolves and I love long fabulous dresses. I mix the wonders of nature with the latest of knowledge in the world of natural nutrition an I firmly believe in the magic of this Planet. I mean I doubt that the date pits that I throw out in the vegetable garden will grow since I live in Sweden. but still, this Earth is pretty magical indeed. So what I do is that I use my knowledge and inspiration to hopefully make a change in the world. I spread Greenylicious tips and love and crazy dance this whole life through! (More in the interview below)
Fun & Fabulous Facts
So if the earth is magical then of course so is the Liquorice root! Liquorice is derived from a plant part of the pea family which means that Liquorice is a legume and was actually also sold in pharmacies up until the 70´s! I remember the first time I met this root, I was around 6 or 7 year old and I got one to chew on in the health food store. Instant love for sure. It is traditionally used as a mouth refresher so I'm not the only one who likes to chew on it apparently.
There are many studies and many things said about the wondrous root of the Liquorice plant one of them being it´s effect on the hormones of the endocrine system. There are active substances in Liquorice that acts balancing in particularly the bodies of women by adding plant estrogens (phytoestrogens) and lowering the amount of testosterone (the "male" hormone). Based on studies that show this, the liquorice root is commonly used to help balance menstrual irregularities and other problems liked to the hormonal system. I think that is a really good excuse to indulge in these toffee squares at least! That being said, it is not advised to eat more than 50g liquorice per day as it can in access consumption for example rise blood pressure or disrupt the water balance in the body.
Raw Liquorice Toffee with Rhubarb compote
This is one of those ridiculously easy raw dessert recipes that you can create in a few minutes and while the toffee rests in the freezer you have time to make the compote. I know it may seem like the weirdest collision of flavors but I'm telling you. It´s so darn delish! (did I mention it's free from added sugars?) Now go fall in love with yourself!
Raw Liquorice Toffee
(Makes 8 mid sized squares)
165 g prunes
40 g virgin coconut oil, carefully melted in a bowl over hot water
40 g almond flour or ground almonds
2 tsp Raw Liquorice powder
0.5 tsp Himalayan salt
0.5 tsp Himalayan salt
6 drops of anise seed oil
1 tsp Raw Liquorice powder (to dust the toffees with)
1. Add all ingredients to your a food processor and blend thoroughly until it has formed a smooth dough.
2. Press the dough into a a square on a baking sheet, dust with the additional liquorice powder and put in the freezer while you make the rhubarb compote.
3. Cut the toffee in squares and enjoy together with the compote.
Rhubarb Compote
400 g rhubarb, peeled & sliced
170 g apple
0.5 cup water
3 tsp arrowroot powder
10 drops of stevia concentrate
0.5 tsp pure vanilla
1. Add rhubarb, apple and water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil then let it simmer at a low temperature for 10 minutes.
2. Add arrowroot powder, stevia and vanilla and stir until incorporated.
3. Turn of the heat, put on the lid and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
Put a small liquorice square on a pretty plate sprinkle some Himalayan sea salt over it and add some rhubarb compote, decorate with a few mint leaves. EAT!
What inspired you to become a raw, vegan foodie?
Lets start by saying that I am not eating 100% raw but I sure am a raw lover and continuously amazed by how raw food makes me feel. So. Being close to nature and venturing the world of yoga always makes me question eating animals and this was also where it all started. Going completely green might not be for everyone but it sure does resonate with me and my belief that lot´s of veggies = world peace. I know it sounds a bit cheesy but it will continue to be a huge part of my core.
You're an organic gardener and a raw food chef. Tell us how you got into this kind of a career?
It is actually a funny story but when I tell it is just makes perfect sense. I am all for following your intuition and there was a period of time in my life when I was not sure where I should go next. One day this thought popped into my head that said "let´s create a vegetable garden" and so i did. From that day on everything else kind of followed. Growing vegetables sparked my interest in natural nutrition and when realizing that the veggies are such powerful superheroes, all I wanted to do was to spread the word. Years of education and experience followed, Earthsprout was born and now here I am really glad that I went with my gut feeling. Our intuition rocks!
What tips do you have for people wanting to make the switch to a raw food diet?
I´d say experiment, play, find all sorts of fun inspiration and if you live in an area that have cold seasons, wait for summer to come! Oh, and Raw Food desserts are such a perfect eye opener and definitely have the power to make people want more of the raw stuff!
What is your favourite raw food meal to prepare?
Yesterday I made a raw meal for me and Fabian. Zucchini pasta with tomato sauce and olives, topped off with greens and raw crackers. It made me realize how much I love the simple meals. Pure, Whole and Oh So Tasty!
What are your future plans? Any upcoming projects you'd like to share with us?
Well first and foremost I was thinking I´d save the world... I am part of an AMAZING weekend course called Goddess Boost in July where I´ll whip up some glorious raw foods and speak about my yummy passions. I am really looking forward to that! You should come!
Also I am putting the final touches on the design of my fabulous Nordic Superfood Mix which I am going to launch this summer. This is such a heart project of mine and with it I wish to spread knowledge about the superb superfoods that we have here up north. The Nordic Superfood Mix is exclusively handpicked, extremely powerful and really tasty. If you want to hear more about it or maybe know some place suitable to sell the product, do contact me! I´d love to hear from you!
Hugest thanks to Maria for having me, such an honor (Scandi foodie is Totally Earthsprout Approved)! And all you Scandi Foodie honeys, you are more than welcome to join me on Facebook and Twitter and tell me all about your Greenylicious adventures!

Something big is coming from Facebook next week - or so we infer from an invite the the social network has been sending out for an event at its San Francisco HQ.
"Come and see what we're building," the invite reads, getting the internet's collective tongue wagging about possible Facebook hardware.
Could the 'book be double bluffing on the whole Facebook phone thing? Is Zuckerberg taking the network the way of Amazon with a Facebook tablet on the cards?
Phone home
Of course, it could be that Facebook is simply 'building' some new profile features intended to appease investors and eke money out of its one billion monthly active users.
The Facebook phone is the rumour that won't die, however - even Mark Zuckerberg's protestations that it would be "the wrong strategy" failing to quiet murmurings that HTC is working on hardware for the company.
Either way, the present tense used in the invite implies that whatever it is that Facebook's cooking up isn't quite ready yet.
TechRadar will be with Facebook on Tuesday evening so stay tuned to see what the network has up its sleeve - we'll bring you the news as it breaks.

Re: ViEmu and the keyboard mapping for VS2005
I have installed the trial version of ViEmu with a VS2003 and VS2005 installed on the pc.
When I start VS2003 I find the keyboard mapping for ViEmu and all keys especially CRTL-D
and CRTL-U are working as expected. So everything is ok.
When I start VS2005 there is no keyboard mapping file in the keyboard menu (options ..).
So CRTL-D and CRTL-U does not work.
Copying the ViEmu.vsk file to the appropriate VS2005 folder also does not work. VS2005
is coming up with an error message when I try to load the vsk file.
I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, but I did not found a suitable answer in the forum
or somewhere on the net.
Can sombody help me to get it work ?

Gray's thesis? That men (Martians) and women (Venusians) have to accept that they're impossibly distinct beasties before they can establish a workable intimacy. Once we get a handle on the Mars/Venus concept, Gray focuses his Hubble telescope on more nebulous theories, such as 'Men Are Like Rubber Bands' and 'Women Are Like Waves.' (Don't ask.) And in a couple of Ralph Kramden-like asides, Gray advises women to give their Martians plenty of stomping room or bang, zoom, they're going to the moon. 'When a man is in a negative state,' Gray suggests, 'treat him like a passing tornado and lie low.' And: 'Never go into a man's cave or you will be burned by the dragon!' Yikes.

Mercury Detoxification, and Gum Disease Prevention!

Dr. Ayman Zraiqat is a holistic, mercury free (amalgam/silver filling-free) and mercury safe dentist and he is dedicated to practicing safe and healthy dentistry. His mission is to treat his patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. He also fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"
Safe Mercury Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Zraiqat is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, and TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, our office focuses on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way. For information about why it's important to use a mercury safe dentist, Click Here.
To accomplish this, we utilize removal protocols for safely removing amalgam fillings based on the recommendations of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and New Directions Dentistry (NDD), which has set the standard for practicing mercury safe dentistry.
Dr. Zraiqat has completed the NDD course, and received his Certification, in How to Make Your Practice Mercury Safe - Minimizing Occupational Exposure to Mercury in the Dental Office. This is the only course of its kind offered to dentists and qualifies him to remove mercury amalgam fillings safely, protecting himself, his staff, his patients, and the environment from excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury vapor at the dental office. For more information about why we use safe removal protocols and an explanation of what they are, Click Here.
SMART Certified
The IAOMT has developed rigorous standards for safely removing mercury amalgam dental fillings by reducing the unnecessary and excessive exposure to mercury released from these fillings. The IAOMT's recommendations are known as the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART).
At this time, Dr. Zraiqat is one of a small number of IAOMT members who qualifies as a SMART Certified IAOMT dentist. With the SMART designation you can be confident that he is fully qualified to safely remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.

Dr. Zraiqat is a founding member of the American Academy of Ozonotherapy and has had extensive training in ozone therapy. Ozone Therapy in dentistry has a number of uses to support traditional dental treatment.

Biomimetic dentistry, a type of tooth-conserving dentistry, treats weak, fractured, and decayed teeth in a way that keeps them strong and seals them from bacterial invasion.

I've spoken with Dr. Zraiqat many times and believe him to be a highly trained, experienced, skilled and caring health-focused mercury safe dentist. I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and he utilizes this knowledge when designing the treatment of his patients. He promotes patient education and has a personal interest in the health and healing of his patients.
His deep concern for his patients' health, his ongoing training in holistic and cosmetic dentistry, and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them.
I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring holistic and mercury safe dentist. Dr. Zraiqat is also a charter member of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). I recommend visiting his website to learn more about his whole-body approach to dentistry. When you visit his office, please let him know where you found out about him and tell him hello for me.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A video captured by a Tampa Bay-area family visiting SeaWorld Orlando showing a pilot whale at SeaWorld struggling to get back into the water during a show has gone viral.
The video, posted on YouTube on July 20 by user Carlo De Leonibus, shows the short-finned pilot whale-a member of the dolphin family- stuck for about 10 minutes without SeaWorld employees help as the crowd appeared to become angered. The cast members and trainers from the show had to leave the stage because of lightning.
WTSP reports De Leonibus, 33, and his wife Ashley had brought their daughter to SeaWorld to celebrate the girl's 11th birthday.
"She loves dolphins. And that's exactly why we went to SeaWorld," De Leonibus told WTSP.
De Lonibus wrote on the YouTube video description that he went to report the pilot whale in distress and that a SeaWorld employee told him it was normal.
"The crowd was in a rage, in an uproar. Some of them were stomping their feet. The gentleman behind me threatened to go protest. He was really upset," De Leonibus told WTSP.
De Leonibus wrote on the YouTube video description that after he stopped recording the video an additional 10-15 minutes went by before two dolphin trainers pushed it back in. He also said his daughter was disturbed by what she saw and that she wanted to dedicate herself to helping wildlife.
SeaWorld told WTSP in a statement that the "pilot whales come out on the ledge all the time and always get back into the deeper water without any problem," adding that the whale was never in danger.

Mate, if you're going to sign up to a rivals forum to slate them, at least do so using an email address which you didn't also use on a Fart fetish site called "Gassy Erotica"
Saying that, it's probably one of the most tame of sexual deviancies i've come to expect of Celtic fans.

Sawtooth Software's Bryan Orme and Walter Williams report results of a meta analysis of about 50 commercial CBC and MaxDiff data sets. Specifically, they looked into how the priors settings in CBC/HB (prior variance and degrees of freedom) affect the ability of the estimated part-worth utilities to predict holdout choice tasks. Because most CBC data sets don't have enough holdout choice tasks for this purpose, they developed a special extension to the CBC/HB software that uses a jack-knifing routine to systematically hold out just a few of the choice tasks (and repeat) for hit rate validation while estimating the utilities from the remaining choice tasks.
Bryan and Walter found that the default prior setting of variance=2 leads to lower hit rates than lower prior variance settings (the average optimal prior variance setting across the data sets was 0.78). Not surprisingly, they found that the optimal prior variance setting depends on the data set (their optimal found prior variance ranged from 0.1 to 1.65). They also found that the default prior variance setting for MaxDiff data (prior variance = 1) is fairly close to optimal for the MaxDiff data sets they examined, but actually may lead to a little bit of underfitting.
