Advent and Christmas are always exciting seasons for Chestnut Hill congregations. But for parishioners of the Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Advent and Christmas of 2011 should be especially memorable since they will mark the parish's first celebration of the season in 25 years without Ken Lovett at the organ and directing the choir.
Lovett led his final services at St. Martin's six months ago. He is now the organist at the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, working under Donald Nally, the congregation's interim music director. Nally followed Mark Anderson, who departed Chestnut Hill for Pittsburgh, while Lovett's successor at St. Martin's Church is Erik Meyers.
Meyers grew up in Collingswood, New Jersey. He comes to Chestnut Hill from Erie, Pennsylvania, where he was the music director of a Lutheran church, the denomination in which he grew up. Meyers, his wife Anna and their two children, Lydia and Lucas, now live in Willow Grove.
"We all wanted to move here," he answered when I asked him what brought him to Chestnut Hill. "We wanted to come back to Philadelphia because it's a great place to live and it's a great place to be a church musician. We really didn't want to live anywhere else."
Meyers explained that the professional church musical community is quite small, with almost every church organist and choir director knowing every other church organist and choir director.
"The number really is no more than in the thousands," he explained, "so there are never more than a few positions opening up at any given time. It's unusual that here in Philadelphia — and Chestnut Hill in particular — you've seen several long-tenured music directors retire or move on." Meyers pointed to Richard Alexander's retirement from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestnut Hill, as well as that of Lovett at St. Martin's Church and Anderson's move from Chestnut Hill Presbyterian.
Although he was raised Lutheran, Meyers said that he now identifies himself as an Episcopalian. "There's an authentic tradition of great music here. Ken left me a music program that's in tremendous shape. Sometimes I find it difficult believing that I have this wonderful choir to work with, a wonderful organ and a wonderful congregation."
Meyers said that his choir is 38-members strong at its fullest complement, but he is hoping to build a choir from within the parishioners who attend the earlier 9 a.m. Sunday service.
St. Martin's Church will present a Choral Evensong this Sunday, Dec. 4, 5 p.m. The service will include an Advent Procession as well as lessons and Carols. Meyers is also planning a solo organ recital in January of 2012 that will feature the music of Max Reger. And two days prior to the Sunday afternoon Choral Evensong at St. Martin's, the church will be the site of "Renaissance Noel," performed in costume by Vox Renaissance Consort. The event is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 2, 8 p.m. Call 610-688-2800 or visit www.VoxAmaDeus.org.
Piffaro, the Renaissance Band, will present "Coming Together in Light" Saturday, Dec. 3, in the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill at 8 p.m. The music to be highlighted by Piffaro has a long and fascinating history. A bold innovator in the field of instrumental music, Salamone Rossi was a singer, violinist and composer who worked as resident musician at the court of Mantua, Italy from 1587 until 1628. A descendant of the illustrious Italian-Jewish family "de Rossi," (the Italian translation of the Hebrew family name, "Me-Ha'Adumim"), which included the controversial Bible scholar, Azariyah de Rossi and could trace its ancestry back to the Jerusalem exile to Rome by the Emperor Titus in the year 70, Rossi was one of the first composers to apply the principles of monodic song, in which one melody dominates over secondary accompanying parts.
A collaborator with such giants of the era as Monteverdi and Gastoldi, Rossi wrote songs, dances and concert music for his Christian patrons during his time at court (who, in gratitude, exempted him from wearing the mandated Jewish badge of shame — later revived by Nazi Germany), and successfully united the arts of poetry and music. But it was his innovations in synagogue music that formed his most significant legacy. Call 215-235-8469 or visit www.piffaro.com.
Rounding out the weekend, Tempesta di Mare, Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra, will perform "Leipzig Shortlist" Sunday, Dec. 4, 4 p.m., in Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church. Call 215-755-8776 or visit www.tempestadimare.org.
Former music director Christoph Eschenbach returned to the podium of the Philadelphia Orchestra to lead the ensemble in two Beethoven symphonies and one Bruch violin concerto Saturday night in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. The two masterpieces were Beethoven's "Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major" and "Symphony No. 8 in F major." The not-so-masterful Bruch was his "Violin Concerto No. 1 in G major," and its solo part received a truly lackluster rendition from Jennifer Koh, who substituted physical histrionics for interpretive musicality.
In both symphonies, Eschenbach elicited excellent playing from the Philadelphians. Although I found his overall textures a trifle thick — they lacked either the silken sheen of Ormandy or the rhythmic precision of Muti, the two conductors with whom the orchestra has recorded both scores — they nonetheless worked for Eschenbach's intellectually probing interpretations of each.

"Ian Rankin once explained to an interviewer (the head of the Indian Communist Party!) that crime fiction is a way of talking about social inequality. Ron Jacobs applies that same maxim to the Sixties... in his wonderfully noir trilogy of those exhilarating and troubled times. And what Rankin does for Edinburgh, Jacobs amply illuminates for the Movement. Much much more than ripping yarns (though they are that too), from a master who's been there, done that, and lived to tell a tale or two."

BOTHELL, Wash., March 25, 2011 – A coalition of experts and business leaders in the rapidly expanding medical devices industry are coming to UW Bothell on April 7 to participate in a summit addressing the international commercialization of medical devices.
As the federal regulatory and economic landscapes for their industry have become more stringent, medical device makers are reconsidering the more traditional approach of avoiding international markets until U.S. market penetration has been achieved. This summit, designed for medical technology executives, board members and investors, will focus on the emerging trend to lead with international markets, which can result in great success, or total failure.
The summit is being held at UW Bothell, located in a region where the medical device industry is a major economic force. In 2007, Washington Governor Chris Gregoire designated the City of Bothell as the Biomedical Device Innovation Zone for Washington State. The primary objective for the Biomedical Device Innovation Zone is to spotlight Washington state's biomedical device industry and improve access to capital; improve the workforce pipeline; and to provide opportunities for collaboration among the primary and secondary industry with support from government agencies.
The University of Washington Bothell, University of Washington Professional & Continuing Education and the Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association are hosting the event. Keynote speakers for the event are Rob Michiels, CEO of CardiAQ Valve Technologies, and Rebecca B. Robertson, co-founder and general partner of Versant Ventures.
Event Details:
WHO: Medical technology executives, board members and investors
WHERE: UW Bothell, North Creek Events Center
WHEN: Thursday, April 7, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
For more information about the summit, visit washbio.org.
About UW Bothell: The University of Washington Bothell combines the benefits of a small campus with the resources and prestige of a world-renowned university. Offering over 30 degrees, options, certificates and concentrations, its curriculum emphasizes close student-faculty interaction, collaboration among students, and hands-on learning.

*Update: Instagram said they're "listening", stating that "The language we proposed also raised question about whether your photos can be part of an advertisement." That question was raised because the terms of service language said very explicitly that photos could be used as part of an advertisement. I appreciate the update, and Instagram's willingness to communicate – and I'm listening. But the company still hasn't really said anything. Without a clear commitment on its end, I'm not making a clear commitment either: In short, I still want options. *
I quit Instagram today. Not only that, I nuked my account. It's gone; deleted. Can't get it back. No more.
I signed up for Instagram a month after it launched, in November of 2010. I was hooked from the giddy-up. My first photo? A pretty boring beach scene: gone now, but you can still see it above. Photos of food and beer and nights out on the town followed – banalities and burritos and bad photography, through Valencia hues.
But Instagram also caught a lot of meaningful moments. The first photo I ever shared of my daughter? On Instagram. Likewise, I loved that it's given me a window into my friends' lives these past two years. I've seen triumphs and failures, and, sure, photos of food. Instagram is more than just a photo-sharing site – more than a social network, even. It has turned into a robust media platform, a place where we can turn to peek in at events across the globe – from the 2012 London Olympics to Egypt's Tahrir Square.
By now you've likely heard Instagram changed its terms of service. There is a lot not to like, but I didn't quit because of any single change in particular.
Why did I quit Instagram? It's the thoughtlessness, stupid.
Instagram was built not by a team of ten in San Francisco's South Park – but by tens of millions and then hundreds of millions of people all over the world. With all due respect to the work that Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger put into building a wonderful app that scaled to meet unprecedented growth, Instagram succeeded because of network effects.
Which makes it remarkable that the company has shown such utter disrespect for that very network of people.
Here's the part of their new terms of service that has so many people up in arms:
To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
What does that mean? The bottom line is that Instagram is reserving the right to use your photos as it sees fit, without permission or even notification, in advertisements and promotions. It hasn't said it owns them, or that it will do that – it just can.
Naturally, that's caused a lot of consternation, and subsequent backlash against that consternation. There are a thousand polemics on the web today about Instagram. Some make the case that it's evil and awful and, oh, no, Facebook! That's overblown. Others prop up half-hearted strawmen with hand-wavy dismissals of anyone's concern alongside the notion that *of course *Instagram should make money.
I think there's a reasonable middle position. I believe Instagram should be able to make money. Facebook telegraphed that something like this was coming just last week, and my reaction at the time was "good." I was happy that Instagram had a revenue model. It isn't a charity. And companies that don't make money are doomed to fail. Facebook paid a lot of damn money to buy Instagram, and it's natural to want some return on that.
Yet I also believe it's wrong to take people's photos – out of context – for use in advertisements. With no way to opt out.
The issue is about more than using photos of my baby daughter, or deceased grandmother, in ads. The greater concern should be that the company would forge ahead with such a plan without offering any other option to the very users and data that built it.
There are a lot of other ways to make money. Sell an ad in the stream. Sell an ad on individual users' pages. Sell an ad against search results, and another for tags that relate to upcoming events. Offer "pro" features – like special filters or promoted profiles. I'm no expert here, but I don't have to be – clearly Systrom and Krieger know how to make a buck.
Sure, my photos aren't the greatest or the prettiest or the most original. But they're mine. And if you want to do something with them, just ask me, okay? I'm not even saying no. I'm just saying: Have enough respect to ask me and give me options. By putting terms in place that offered no way to opt out, short of deleting your account, Instagram delivered an ultimatum.
And so I quit Instagram on principle. Because I'm tired of contributing to the commodification of my own existence. I'm not a pork belly, or a barrel of oil. I'm tired of clicking on agree, when I vehemently oppose. I'm tired of saying yes, when I want to say no.
I hope Instagram rethinks its stance. One of its strongest features is how easy it is to build a network there. And so if it does walk its terms back significantly and permanently, I'll gladly rejoin.
Anyone who says there's going to be a mass exodus of Instagram users is naive. It will continue to grow. But the internet is whatever we make it. And sometimes, when you believe in something, you have to stand up for it.

In recent months two of my favourite, and most local, veggie cafes have shut down
They both shut for the same reason - a massive increase in the rent. (both premesis are still vacant, I think one of them shut 6-12 months ago now)
Anyway, I'm at a bit of a loss for decent places to go for vegan food nowadays. Are there any hidden gems that I am unaware of?
There's 8th Day cafe which is overpriced and not great. Soup is at least affordable and tasty.
Earth Cafe is pretty good, excellent food;cakes, smoothies, coffee though sometimes the combination of salads availble is a bit strange.
Oklahoma is nice, decent coffee but very limited vegan choice and quality and portion size can vary.
Fuel in Withington - I rediscovered this place last week. Haven't eaten there in years but it's a nice place and they do soya milk now and quality coffee
Cafe Pop has gone veggie again but didn't seem to have anything vegan when I went.
Basement - It's well meaning but no good if you're hungry; rarely open, very variable food quality, really slow and I don't think much of their food hygeine either.
I know that looks like quite a few places but there used to be loads more - including a couple of nice places in Chorlton I used to ocassionally go to which have recently closed too...

The new range of BRAVIA televisions are finally out. Split into four ranges, the NX range, standing for network, offers the middle ground for those that can't justify going for the all-singing all-dancing top of the pile offerings from the Signature and Cinematic ranges. But is this cutting corners? We've been watching to find out.
The new KDL-40NX503 is the 40-inch model (it's also available in 32-, 46-, and 52-inch versions) and sports the new "monolith" design. That means there is no bezel per se, with a single sheet of glass covering the front of the LCD display.
From a design perspective it certainly does the trick with the television looking good even when it's not turned on, as the screen and bezel merge into one. There is of course a frame to the design, and quite a thick one too, especially compared to LG's borderless TV range, but because of the glass overlay, it is not as noticeable as many other TVs. With no buttons on the front, all you're presented with apart from the screen itself, is a line of status lights to let you know that you are turned on and the like.
Packed in the box is a simple black stand that allows some degree of rotation, although you can also wall mount it too. The remote control is rather long, but the simple layout is easy to use. The top side of the remote is concave, presumably for easier button pressing and while we can't say it makes that much difference, it is comfortable and easy to use none the less. A nice touch is that there is a large power button on the back (there is one on the front as well).
Power the TV on and you are presented with Sony's now famous XMB interface, found in the PlayStation 3, as well as media players, Blu-ray players, Sony Ericsson phones and so on. What that means is that you get an incredibly easy menu interface to navigate through, helping you find all the extra features, settings and AV channels the TV has to offer.
The important 4 HDMI v1.4 slots (2 on rear, and 2 on side for easy access, with an ARC) are present along with the usual connections, including USB so you can view your own pictures and video (AVC, AVCHD, DivX, MPEG4, MP3, JPEG), and DLNA for wireless connection to other devices like your mobile phone.
While Wireless Ready, the TV doesn't have Wi-Fi built-in. You'll have to buy the additional UWA-BR100 wireless dongle (£79.99) that plugs into the back of the set to enable that. So if you want to be internet-enabled you've got to plug an Ethernet cable into the socket at the back. It's a small whinge, but if you haven't got your router already set up behind your television, something to bear in mind. Alternatively, HomePlugs will solve that problem for you.
The XMB is also the way you access all the extra features on this BRAVIA TV set like all those internet channels, called BRAVIA Internet Video, for example, as we saw on the S370 Blu-ray player.
You don't get widgets like the Samsung televisions that will tell you the weather while you are watching a movie, but you do get access to a number of internet video streaming sites like YouTube and blip.TV. There are around a dozen or so; ranging from golfing channels, to help you improve your game to business offerings as well, and most will get you excited for around 5 minutes before you get bored. Luckily the internet offering isn't all just about clips of a cat dancing on a piano. The two that you'll be most excited about are Five on Demand and LOVEFiLM.
Strangely, considering it's available on the PS3, the TV doesn't come with the BBC iPlayer, yet, but Sony inform us that it will be coming in the not too distant future. Five On Demand is a carbon copy of the TV station's catch-up service online, and it works very well giving you the chance to catch-up on Five shows like Neighbours, The Gadget Show, FlashForward, its kids' offering Milkshake, and so on.
We were most excited about LOVEFiLM. Here you get the video streaming from the by-post movie rental service, allowing you to stream movies directly to your TV. The service is incredibly easy to use, and the streaming quality, although not HD, is still very good letting you watch movies within minutes. There is a catch though. There are bugger all movies available on the streaming service. We aren't being picky: there really is nothing worth watching, unless obscure Hollywood movies are your thing. If you are thinking about this television for the LOVEFiLM element, don't, well not until the content is more comprehensive.
The EPG is fairly easy and straightforward and you'll be able to find your way around with ease; either using the central D-pad on the remote or a number of quick shortcuts via the red, green, blue, and yellow coloured buttons. The channel you are on is displayed in a miniature window top left, while channels are displayed beneath from left to right. A timer lets you see how far you are through the current half-hour slot so you can see if it's worth watching or not.
Navigation shortcuts include: jumping to the next or previous show, jumping to the current time (handy if you've strayed off to the rest of the days viewing possibilities) and plus one day, if you want to skip forward to tomorrow. Pressing the information button brings up info about the show in question.
To help you one step further Sony also offers Favourites that allows you to quickly access your favourite stations and input options without having to navigate through the XMB. We especially like the option of seeing the last couple of TV stations you've watched.
As you would expect you'll get a Full HD 1080p picture with a 1920 x 1080 pixel picture resolution, while 24p True Cinema is also present. Those combined with a number of other Sony BRAVIA technologies means that, as long as your source input is good then the picture quality is excellent. It is a 50Hz display however, so doesn't deal with motion judder quite as effectively as more advanced 100 or 200Hz displays.
From the outset you will find that it's slightly darker than you're used to, but once you start to watch, that dimly lit fear subsides and you realise that the set you are watching is very good, very good indeed. Blacks are black, whites are white, and there is little over correction or pixelalation in the picture. Everything from sports to movies seemed good, with the television coping with an array of content from different sources (PS3, Sky HD, Blu-ray) that we passed through it.
On the TV tuner front the NX series comes with both an analogue tuner as well as a digital Freeview HD tuner, meaning you can get BBC HD, ITV 1 HD and 4HD, in areas that are currently broadcasting. The quality of the SD signal through our aerial was okay, but clearly not as good as if you opt for a cable or satellite service instead, with HD clearly taking the top spot.
The BRAVIA offers three preset sound settings - Dynamic, Standard, and Clear Voice - to get you going, although you can custom set it yourself as well. Clear Voice is worth a mention as this automatically tones down the treble and the bass. You'll lose the surrounding sound elements (i.e., the music, sound effects) but you will be able to hear what they are saying with more clarity.
The Sony BRAVIA KDL-40NX503 is a fantastic TV set when it comes to picture quality that will be great one day when it comes to features, but at the moment it's not quite there yet when it comes to that additional content.
It's something we found frustrating because it's a cracking TV. If you are buying it for the Internet Video, and more importantly the LOVEFiLM streaming capabilities, you might be disappointed, but this is a TV that is designed to look impressive, which it certainly does. The older screen technology means it might not be the centrepiece of a movie lover's dream setup, but it certainly offers a lot.
The good news is that the internet element can only get better as Sony updates the system to bring more and more content partners on board.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State football team continued its practice schedule on Wednesday in preparation of the spring game on April 5 at 3 p.m.
On a perfectly sunny and breezy afternoon, the TSU defense got the better of the Big Blue offense, even though the sides were not tackling.
After starting with the punt and field goal drills, the student-athletes split up into their respective position groups to go over technique.
With the players having completed the necessary workouts, the offense squared off against the defense in 7-on-7 and eventually, in a full-blown scrimmage.
On the second play of the scrimmage, Bernell Brooks picked off a pass from Michael German in the flats and returned it all the way for a 20-yard touchdown.
Offensively, running back Darion Hall impressed with a faster foot speed and stronger cuts, leaving one defender on the ground on a draw play. While there was no heavy hitting, Hall wasn't touched on most runs until reaching the second level.
The Tigers will conduct practice on Friday at 4 pm and then scrimmage on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. All practices are open to the public.

to sue Citigroup over faulty mortgage bonds: sources
Send a link to a friend
[June 14, 2014]
(Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice is preparing
to sue Citigroup Inc <C.N> on charges that the bank
defrauded investors on billions of dollars worth of
mortgage securities in the run-up to the financial
crisis, after talks to resolve the probe broke down,
people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
A lawsuit could be filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn as early
as next week, the people said, as the bank and civil prosecutors
stood far apart in reaching an agreement on the size of any deal.
The settlement negotiations had involved penalty numbers of $10
billion or more, another person familiar with the talks said.
Bloomberg News reported earlier on Friday that the Justice
Department had asked the bank to pay more than $10 billion, and that
the bank had offered less than $4 billion.
Citigroup shares were down 1.7 percent in New York trading following
the report.
A Citigroup spokesman declined to comment. Robert Nardoza, a
spokesman for the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New
York, declined comment.
The developments come as the Justice Department is preparing a
similar lawsuit against Bank of America's <BAC.N> Merrill Lynch
unit, after discussions over a $12 billion to $17 billion settlement
did not produce an agreement.
The $10 billion figure for Citigroup was greeted with disbelief by
some on Wall Street because the bank had marketed fewer mortgage
securities than did some other banks.
Fred Cannon, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, said in a
research note that he estimates Citigroup may have to pay $6 billion
to reach a deal with the Justice Department, which could exceed the
bank's legal reserves and require it to record additional expenses
this year. Citigroup's share price likely already reflects a $3
billion addition to reserves, he said.
[to top of second column]
While Wall Street analysts base settlement estimates on the dollar
amount of the securities banks sold, it is much harder for them to
know if prosecutors have evidence that a bank was especially
egregious in packaging poor quality loans and marketing the
instruments as safe, and arguably should have to pay more than other
banks. Prosecutors also consider the level of banks' cooperation in
investigations and other factors.
Reuters reported in December that the Justice Department was
preparing a civil fraud lawsuit against the bank that alleged
investors lost tens of billions of dollars on the securities at
U.S. attorney's offices in Brooklyn and Colorado have been
investigating the bank as part of a larger task force probing faulty
mortgage securities that helped fuel the housing bubble in the
mid-2000s and contributed to its collapse.

The Seattle Times has posted some pretty scary photos of local homeowners and ranchers watching the wildfire approach. And the North Kittitas County Tribune is posting a running log of fire news, including a phone number for local evacuation information. The state has also activated its emergency operations center.
Our hearts go out to the victims, and we're monitoring the situation closely. Fire victims should contact their insurer or agent as soon as possible to start the claims process. Many policies include some coverage for emergency shelter, such as motels, if a home is uninhabitable. Our consumer advocacy staff (1-800-562-6900) will be available to help fire victims if they have trouble filing insurance claims.
Here are some more tips:
- Cooperate fully with the insurer. Ask what documents forms and data you'll need to file a claim. Keep a journal of all conversations, including who you talked with and when.
- Ask your insurer about additional living expenses if your home is destroyed. Save all relevant receipts.
- Take photos or video of the damage.
- If there's a disagreement about a claim, talk to the insurer. Ask the company to cite specific language in the policy. If you need help, call our office at 1-800-562-6900.
- If the insurer's offer seems too low, be prepared to negotiate to get a fair settlement.
And here's a handy pdf document that will help you get started on a home inventory, which can be a big help in filing an insurance claim after a disaster. You can also use a video camera or one of several smartphone apps to do the same thing.

PEOPLE's critics weigh in on what to see and what to skip this weekend at the movies.
See This
Captain Phillips
Ostensibly about the real-life hijacking of an American freighter by Somali pirates in 2009, Captain Phillips is actually a smart, intriguing dialogue about two Americas: the carrot and the stick.
Director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, United 93) delivers a corker of a thriller, complete with an award-worthy performance from Tom Hanks as Richard Phillips, the Maersk Alabama skipper kidnapped by the pirates. But Greengrass isn't going to let us slip out of the theater without considering our nation's role in the world, both as a beacon to people desperately dreaming for a better life, and as one hell of a baseball bat, striking fiercely at those who would dare to cross us.
In this case, the enemy is a crew of four desperately poor, delusional Somalis who manage to hijack a floating warehouse with a few guns and a surfeit of audacity. They buzz toward the Alabama like a fly pestering a cow, slipping past the freighter's high-pressure hoses to board the ship. It's gritty stuff, but the real tension comes when they decamp to a lifeboat with Phillips as their hostage.
The conversations between Phillips and pirate captain Muse (the intensely compelling Barkhad Abdi) are riveting. Muse is a thug, no doubt, willing to terrify, and possibly harm others to collect a fat payday. But when he starts to dream out loud about moving to America with his ransom money, you can feel the desperation fueling his delusion. He's more pathetic than menacing, his petty power gone the instant the Navy SEALs show up to shut him down.
How it all ends is no surprise, but still viscerally startling. What happens afterward, though, is stunning – the best part of the film and some of the most beautiful acting Hanks has ever done. It's a denouement that will shake you and stay with you, whatever you think about the way our government handled the crisis. Still, politics aside, Captain Phillips is one heck of an adrenaline rush. – Alynda Wheat
Skip That
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
This weak slasher film has been sitting on a shelf since 2006. As far as I'm concerned, it could've stayed there. Amber Heard stars as Mandy, a teen who blossomed over the summer and now attracts the attention of her horndog male classmates. There's such an orchestrated campaign to deflower her that a weekend in the country is organized so the boys can take their shots. Only someone else is aiming at them, picking the teens off one by one. You'll know immediately who the killer is, not that it matters.
The deaths are boring, the killer's rationale is boring, even Heard is boring. If you really dig her, check her out as a beauty queen/spy in the grindhouse sequel Machete Kills, opening this weekend, also starring Danny Trejo, Sofia Vergara and Mel Gibson. High art it isn't, but at least Machete director Robert Rodriguez embraces the silliness in creative, fun ways.
– Alynda Wheat
But seek this out
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete
The summer of 2012 starts bad for Mister, the surly survivor at the center of The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete. First he fails eighth grade, then when he comes home to the tenement apartment he shares with his drug-addicted mom, he finds that there's no food, and that annoying neighbor kid Pete is hogging his PlayStation. As you can surmise from the title, things get considerably worse for Mister and Pete. Mom is arrested and taken away, so Mister spends the rest of the summer swelter dodging housing police and neighborhood bullies while trying to keep his and Pete's bellies somewhat full.
It's melodrama for sure, but done without a drop of sentimentality. The central performance by newcomer Skylan Brooks is anything but kid-actor cute: He refuses our sympathy until the film's heartbreaking conclusion. Jennifer Hudson melts into the part of Gloria, a mom who realizes that she needs to be there for her son, but is simply unable to overcome her disease. In fact, Mister's periphery is dotted with great performances: Boardwalk Empire's Jeffery Wright as a homeless vet, and the seemingly everywhere Anthony Mackie as a neighborhood pimp.
The movie is buoyed by its sly humor and Mister's indomitable spirit: He does a great reading of Steve Buscemi in Fargo, and feigns an Oscar speech when he gets out of paying for some groceries. It also feels right to be reminded around the holidays that food security is not a given for all of us. – Oliver Jones

The trend of talking about a lot of food in my recaps continues.
At the beginning of the month we had a barbecue at my grandparents' house. The weather was amazing, more a mix between Spring and Summer than Autumn, so we took the opportunity to barbecue on their balcony.
I went to the market with my mother and a friend of the family. I came home with bags filled with fruit. In the afternoon we went to a foodtruck festival and we ended up at the beach for a Pokémon hunt. Five grown-ups walking around, being overjoyed when a new Pokémon popped up; fabulous!
To celebrate the good weather, my boyfriend and I decided to go to a park where we hired a rowing boat. It was great to spend some time together, because he has been very busy with school and his internship. The day after we went to a Mexican restaurant together with my sister and her boyfriend. I discovered a new favorite place! Such a nice atmosphere and you get so much delicious food for an excellent price.
I had my first weekend shift, where you have a slightly different working method, and I nailed it! We also went out for a farewell dinner from one of my colleagues.
I also went to a restaurant with my other grandparents, my parents and sister. I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was nice to catch up while eating good food. We went to a restaurant that has a Japanese water garden, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. You can choose (all inclusive) the classic French kitchen, Japanese sushi and Sashimi, the Mediteranian kitchen or Asian wok dishes. And the best of all perhaps is that there are (unlimited) slush puppies!
Tonight: book club! Yeay! We had a LOT of food and for some reason they decided that my vegetarian lasagna could use fries as a side-dish. There was enough food on my plate to feed another person, haha. We had some nice rants about real-life and bookish frustrations, so that was nice!

I know.. I know.. I was planning to buy less books, but that obviously did not happen this month (and spoiler: it's probably not going to happen next month either).
And books I bought, without picture:
Christina Henry – Alice.
Christina Henry – Red Queen.
Lisa Maxwell – Unhooked.
Rae Carson – Like a River Glorious.
And Debby got me a copy from Anna Ursu - Breadcrumbs. Thank youuuu!
The e-books from:
Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies.
Short stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists.
Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unrelieable Guide.
2. Sarah J. Maas – Empire of Storms.
3. L. Frank Baum – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
4. Rhiannon Thomas – Kingdom of Ashes.
5. Rosamund Hodge – Bright Smoke, Cold Fire.
Empire of Storms took up some time and I was in a very creative mood, so that's where most of my time went.
Hail Caesar, this was a big disappointment, but that's also because of my wrong expectations.
Central Intelligence, funny. Bit cliché, but it made me laugh.
Walk of shame, funny.
Mockingjay part 2, better than part 1 and I will never ever get over the part where one of my favorite characters from that series dies.
Ridiculous 6, so so bad, but I still had some good laughs.
TV shows.
Finished season 4 from New Girl.
Finally continued watching season 2 from Reign.
Officially decided I'm not going to continue Stranger Things. So many people were raving about it, but 6 episodes in and it was still not working for me.
How was your September?

NSW opposes Seismic Testing
Australian State (NSW) opposes seismic testing for oil off it's shores but Federal regulators in Canberra gave the approval. . .
Sanctioned Animal Abuse in Canada's Marineland
Despite years of bad press and seemingly credible allegations of animal abuse, it comes as little surprise that cruelty charges laid against Marineland by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) were withdrawn. . .
Tilikum Dead at 36
SeaWorld Orlando's most famous killer whale, Tilikum, who inspired the documentary Blackfish, has died, the theme park announced in a statement on its website January 6, 2017. He was estimated to be about 36 years old.
Seaworld states: "Tilikum was near the high end of the average life expectancy for male killer whales according to an independent scientific review." Can this be true. . .
The Soviet Union Killed Tens of Thousands of Whales for Virtually No Reason
In just a few decades, tens of thousands of whales were slaughtered by the Soviet Union in what the Pacific Standard Magazine, called "one of the fastest decimations of an animal population in world history - and happened almost entirely in secret."
The whaling system was mortally wounded by inefficiency, gross waste, and "runaway socialistic competition," as Ivashchenko, Clapham, and Brownell noted in their research paper.
While it's unclear how many whales were killed by the Soviets, it's believed that at least 45,000 were slaughtered between 1946 and 1986. . .
Humpback Whale Deaths in Hawaii
Wildlife officials are concerned that six humpback whale carcasses have washed up onto Hawaii shores since November. That's double the number typically found in a season, which runs from November to May. . .
Rare Omura whale Sighted in Queensland
A Tour group spotted the whale off Mission Beach (Queensland), an unusual sighting outside the usual whale season.
The Omura whale was first identified by Japanese researchers as a species in it's own right in 2003, and it was genetically confirmed as a separate species in 2006. . .
Great Australian Bight Drilling Threat Returns
After BP Oil cancelled it's plan to drill in the Bight another company has been given a permit to explore for oil in the marine reserve, sparking calls from environmentalists for a moratorium on new licences.
Karoon Gas Australia announced to the Australian Stock Exchange that it had been approved to explore for oil in "17,793 square kilometres of Australia's most active and prospective frontier oil exploration province" the Ceduna sub-basin.
"It's outrageous the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator is issuing more exploration permits in the Great Australian Bight considering the massive opposition to BP's plans to drill for oil in the Bight," said the Wilderness Society's South Australian director, Peter Owen. . .
Is that All We get from the Australian Prime Minister... Disappointed?
Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull has said he is "very dis-appointed" by Japan's decision to resume Antarctic whaling. Chief Executive Michael Kennedy (HSI) says, "Japan always claimed it was doing its work legally. Well our court case in 2004 and the ICJ in 2014 proves that nothing they do in our view is at all legal."
It is time to act. The Australian Government must stand up and stop the whalers who are poaches heading to a Whale Sanctuary to murder and butcher the animals the Sanctuary protects. These poaches in their Factory Ship, the Nisshin Maru, must be turned back to Japan without killing one whale. . .
Japanese Southern Ocean Whaling Ruled NOT Scientific
The Inter-national Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague announced their binding decision on 31 March, 2014 in the landmark case of Australia v. Japan, ruling that Japan's JARPA II whaling program in the Antarctic is not for scientific purposes and ordered a temporary halt to the whaling program and not to issue whaling permits at least until the program has been thoroughly revamped. . .
Iceland ships 2,000 tons of endangered fin whale meat
The Inter-national Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) raised the issue in Iceland after learning that Loftsson's stockpile of fin whale meat was being loaded onto the Alma cargo vessel in Hafnarfjordur Harbour near ReykjavÃk, bound for Japan.
Fin whales are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List. Ports and carriers in Europe publicly rejected the whale meat trade by returning containers, to Iceland. A total of 280 fin whales were killed in Iceland's waters between 2006 and 2010. . .
Japan MUST be Expelled from the IWC
When it comes down to the smooth running of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and it's orderly administration which country is the most disruptive? Which country gives aid money for votes? Which country takes up far too much time at meetings? Which country consistantly ignores the wishes of the Commission? Which country still kills whales? Japan!. . .
International Anti-whaling Campaign
The Whalewatch report, Troubled Waters, was published March 9th to mark the start of the global campaign against whaling.
Britain's best-known naturalist, Sir David Attenborough, stresses the point in his foreword to the report. "The following pages contain hard scientific dispassionate evidence that there is no humane way to kill a whale at sea," says the broadcaster . . .

Whales are Not the Major Causes of Dwindling Fish Stocks
N.O.A.A. US Department of Commerce - Today's marine science community has enough expertise and experience with the complex ocean ecosystem to recognise that the "competition" claim is oversimplified and the hunting proposal is biologically unsound.
As a whole, whales do not eat "large quantities of fish as food," nor do they threaten the health of the world's limited marine fish resources. Some whale species prey on fish, but on fish that humans do not consume. In truth, it is humans who continue to threaten the world's stocks through overfishing and reluctance to allow stocks to naturally replenish. . .
Say NO to Navy Noise
Eco-activist Diana Mann Photo by Jack Gould
Low frequency active sonar is based on very low frequency sound [100-1000 Hz] can travel great distances and detect quiet submarines. The system uses intense sound. The US Navy has given a figure of sounds as loud as 235 decibels generated by massive sound transmitters towed behind TAGOS-class ships. The noise level of a jet engine is about 120 decibels. . .
US Navy/WHOI LFAS Research Exposed - Lanny Sinkin
Now that Japan has left the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the country will be unable to catch any whales in the Antarctic Ocean, where half the country's whaling for what it called scientific research purposes was conducted. This is good news.
However, according to Japanese government sources, the country is considering allowing commercial whaling in its nearby seas and within its exclusive economic zone. Consideration has also been given to commense commercial whaling in the northwestern Pacific.
Japan joins Norway and Iceland as rogue whaling nations in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic. . .
The hunt is Iceland's first in three years and marks the start of a whaling season that could see as many as 239 of these majestic creatures killed.
Iceland's Government has again allocated a Fin whale quota to whaler Kristjan Loftsson and his company Hvalur hf after a three year pause in whaling.
Despite a falling market for whale meat in Iceland it can only be concluded that the whale meat will be exported to Japan since more than 8,800 tonnes of meat and blubber have been shipped there flouting the ban on international trade in whale meat imposed by CITES, the international authority on trade in endangered species.
"It is unfathomable in this day and age that a country so well known for its nature tourism is tarnishing its image by allowing commercial whaling to continue in the face of growing domestic and international opposition," said Clare Perry, ocean campaigns leader for EcoWatch. . .
News media are reporting that the United States Federal authorities (National Marine Fisheries Service) have taken most humpback whales off the endangered species list, saying their numbers have recovered through international efforts to protect the giant mammals.
The US decision to delist Humpback whales is based on a new erroneous theory that there are 14 Humpback Whale populations in the worlds oceans and although that may appear true today, historically, there were only TWO populations i.e. Southern & Northern Hemisphere. By creating 14 individual Humpback populations the US NMFA has "juggled the books" and manufactured this misguided plan based upon ficticious Humpback Whale Distinct Population Segements (DPS) that it devised in 1996.
A Whalemeat DNA study by marine biologists at Stanford University in California, found that the genetic diversity of whales is so large that it can only mean that past population sizes were much bigger than anyone had estimated. The analysis of humpback whale DNA, enabled the marine biologists to estimate the past population size of breeding females alone must have been between 125,000 and 250,000 individuals and since mature breeding females make up about one sixth to one eighth of a whale population, these numbers suggest a global humpback whale population size [in the past] of about 750,000 to 2 million animals.
WOTN calculates 64% to 74% of Humpback whales are missing from the Southern Hemisphere today... but "Today's news is a true ecological success story," said Eileen Sobeck, assistant NOAA administrator for fisheries. She hopes we will believe her. . .

FACT: Endangered Whale Species are RECOVERING... not RECOVERED.
FACT: Japan does NOT have a TRADITION of SCIENTIFIC WHALING.
Recent reports clearly show that the whales are helping researchers determine atmospheric science, Arctic oceanography, the extent of global warming, marine food web nutrition and record breaking migration patterns...
In the remote village of Taiji, Japan a team of activists and filmakers witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The oceans once teemed with many more now endangered marine mammals than previously thought, new genetic studies of whales suggest.
Whalemeat samples bought from a Japanese sushi market and analysed by scientists indicate that experts have seriously underestimated the size of the populations that roamed the seas before industrial- scale hunting began more than a century ago. The numbers of some species may have been 10 times greater than previously calculated.
The findings refute suggestions by whaling nations such as Japan that a resumption of hunting is justified by the increase of many whale populations beyond their natural size, the researchers said. . .
Norway is now the leading commercial whale killing nation in the world, and in the past two years killed more whales than Iceland and Japan combined. The government quota for 2017 was set at 999 animals, up from the 2016 quota of 880. However, only 432 Minke whales were slaughtered by the end of the season making the issuance of a quota completely stupid.
Norwegian exports of whale meat and blubber have been transiting regularly through E.U. ports en route to Japan for the past several years, says Kate O'Connell, Marine Wildlife Consultant at the Animal Welfare Institute. The most recent shipment of 2,948 kg of whale products was shipped from Ålesund, Norway to Hamburg, Germany in early October by a cargo vessel called the Berta. At Hamburg, the shipment was loaded on board the MOL Beacon, stopping at Le Havre and Malta for eventual offloading in Kobe, Japan, in November.
Given that the E.U. is opposed to commercial whaling and the trade in whale products, a number of organizations, including the Animal Welfare Institute, Oceancare and ProWildlife have called for changes to be made to E.U. regulations to so that the transit of whale products through E.U. ports is made illegal and enforcement authorities can act against these activities.
The hunting season goes from April 1 to September 30.
How Modern Norway Clings to its Whaling Past
Produced by the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), OceanCare and Pro-Wildlife, details Norway's undermining of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) ban on commercial whaling and exposes the growth of its overseas trade in whale products.
Norwegians should NOT kill Minke whales
More than 1000 long-finned pilot whales are killed in the Faroese Islands, a Danish protectorate, every year by wealthy islanders, who have no subsistence need for whale meat but to consume it as a cultural prerogative.
The hunt, known as a "grind," is horrifically cruel. North Atlantic and migratory North Sea Pilot whales are driven into shore by fishing boats, then roped and hauled on until they beach themselves.
Actor Ross McCall, in his
Huffington Post article says, "Truthfully, I've looked, I've listened. I've allowed people to voice their side. A high percentage claim to be indifferent about the Grind. Fine if it continues, fine if it ends. But, for the staunch supporters, it ultimately comes down to the fact that this is something the whalers and locals enjoy. Something that gets the aggression out. And something they seem petrified of letting go". . .

Joanadark over at Maintankadin figured out how the Faction Champions fight worked. If you haven't read the thread yet, well, what are you waiting for?
I'm not going to copy his post here but I want to highlight some parts of it since I found it to be quite an interesting read. Faction Champs is a fight I've hated since day one and seeing a "this is how it works" thread made me say "OMG COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE THIS THREE WEEKS AGO?" (I'm a tough audience)
Anyway, a lot of the points were things we've all noticed but had attributed to coincidence or other mechanics. All you warlocks whining about how all the melee hits you first, turns out you're right. They do hate you more. Well, hates a strong word, they just like seeing you die first, 'cos as stupid as they are, they're not that stupid. As for me, whenever I heal the fight I complain that they never attack me. Now I know why. I see it how it is. They won't look at me unless I take my clothes off. =/ (Thats a not impressed face)
Those who say they were one shotted? They weren't one shotted, they were 5 shotted. They just got hit by all the targets at the same time because that dot made their health the lowest. Which was probably my fault for not dispelling, but shhhhhhhh.
Finally, all those times where we'd get the first target to 20% and we'd get the illusion that his health would jam, it wasn't an illusion. Their healers use raid frames too! Damn them!
What makes the post so awesome is that Joanadark doesn't just say "here's what I found!". He makes some pretty valid suggestions as to how to make this fight a little easier. Nothing beats reading the thread, but here's a quick recap of the most useful tips:
– If the clothies are tired of dying first, have them chug an indestructible potion before the pull.
– Tanks who want to keep an enemy interested on them can put on their dps gear
– If someone is getting owned by casters, lesser flask of resistance FTW
– If you weren't dispelling DoTs already, now would be a good time to start.
– Wait until your first target is low on health before blowing your CC on the healers.
– You can distract their healers by dpsing, without killing, one of their pets.
Also of interest, it's been confirmed that many warlocks were killed in the Faction Champs AI testing. You may take that as you wish.

Yes Virginia, Apple's really do get viruses! Apple Hit by Botnet Trojan, Proves Mac is Vulnerable
Apple computer users have often felt their operating system was less vulnerable to attack than the average PC and for years they were right. However a new virus called Flashback may be proving that Apple, the Mercedes of the computer world, can be just as vulnerable to botnets and trojans as the rest of the computer world. So download the patches Apple made last week, download some anti-virus software and prepare for invasion.

When dealing to the Roman Army, the term decimate meant that the entire unit would be broken up into groups of ten soldiers, and lots would be drawn. The person who was unlucky enough to draw the short straw would be executed by the other nine members of his group.
The bloodthirsty Roman Centurion Carnage Maximus decided to apply this to his prisoners, with a few gruesome differences. Rather than kill every tenth prisoner and allow the rest to live, he is going to leave only one prisoner alive and kill all of the others. Instead of killing every tenth prisoner, he chooses a number (kill_every). If kill_every=3, he kills every third prisoner. If kill_every=5, he kills every fifth prisoner. He always chooses a number between 2 and the number of prisoners he has, and this process will be repeated until there is only one prisoner left. For example, if there are 10 prisoners, and kill_every=3
First iteration: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1-2-3 4-5-6 7-8-9 10
Prisoners 3, 6 and 9 will be killed.
Second iteration: 1 2 4 5 7 8 10
Because Prisoner 10 was counted during the first iteration, the executions will proceed as such: 10-1-2 4-5-7 8-10, so prisoners 2 and 7 will be killed
Third iteration: 1 4 5 8 10 8-10-1 4-5-8 10, so prisoners 1 and 8 executed.
Fourth Iteration: 10-4-5 10 Prisoner 5 is executed.
Fifth iteration: 10-4 10 Prisoner 10 is executed
Since the sole survivor is prisoner 4, he is released.
You are an unlucky prisoner caught by Carnage Maximum. Prior to lining up the prisoners, he reveals the number of prisoners he has and his value of kill_every for the day. Your job is to figure out which prisoner you need to be in order to survive. Write a MATLAB script that takes the values of num_prisoners and kill_every. The output will be survivor, which is the position of the person who survives. If you write your script quickly enough, that person will be you.
Good luck!
I seem to get 1773 for test case 6.
I also get 1773 for test case 6
I'll look into it a bit later on. In the meantime, that test case is deleted, so you can see if your solutions work for the rest of the test cases.
An interesting test case would have kill_every=1.
Am I the only one who finds the problem description really lacking? WTF does it mean "Because Prisoner 10 was counted during the first iteration,..." IMHO this is just blah and not a well-defined problem definition...
how does this work?

Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner has taken the Fifth again. But if it's just bureaucratic bungling of an awkwardly written law, as President Barack Obama suggested, she couldn't incriminate herself. Perhaps she wants the probe to go nowhere.
The administration promised a quick action. To refresh, here's what the IRS scandal is all about:
• Groups legally opposing Obama were singled out for harassment by one of the most powerful agencies in the executive branch after the organizations applied for tax-exempt status, blocking some from playing a role in the 2012 election.
• Obama and Democrats such as Max Baucus and Dick Durbin called on the IRS in 2010 to rein in such organizations.
• The office of the IRS chief counsel, an Obama appointee, helped craft guidelines on how to go after the tea party and other conservative groups.
• The IRS released nine confidential applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups to a left-leaning media outlet.
But shouldn't she be willing to testify if, as Obama claimed, it's nothing more than "a 501(c)4 law people think is confusing" and that "folks did not know how to implement"? If, as the president contends, it amounts to only "some boneheaded decisions" but "not even a smidgen of corruption," why would Lerner spend the past 10 months taking the Fifth?
Lerner does have information and the American people have a right to it. Congress has a duty to continue investigating until the full truth is revealed.
Can you or I take the Fifth if the IRS comes knocking?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), one of the key swing votes on the Senate's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, wrote Tuesday that she supports the repeal of Obamacare's individual mandate. "I believe that the federal government should not force anyone to buy something they do not wish to buy, in order to avoid being taxed," Murkowski wrote in an op-ed for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
Murkowski was one of three GOP senators who voted to block Obamacare repeal efforts over the summer, so her latest expression of support for repealing the mandate, which is part of the Senate's tax bill, could be an encouraging sign for Republicans. Or not. Murkowski's op-ed does not include and explicit endorsement of the tax bill and a spokesperson told Politico that the piece shouldn't be read as an indication that she's a "yes" on the legislation. "Senator Murkowski said on Friday that she will be reviewing the work of the Finance Committee over the Thanksgiving holiday and plans to look at the entire package before coming to any conclusion on the legislation," the spokesperson said.
Murkowski's piece did, however, repeat her call for enacting the bipartisan Obamacare stabilization measures being pushed by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Patty Murray (D-WA). The senator had said suggested last week that her vote for the tax bill and its repeal of the Obamacare mandate was contingent on passage of the Alexander-Murray stabilization bill, which could be included in a spending bill next month. Murkowski has also supported opening portions of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas drilling, and the tax bill would be combined with legislation that greenlights such drilling as a way to raise $1 billion toward deficit reduction.

I need help to solve this problem related with the N-Body problem, i dont understand quite well what I need to define or to express in order to solve it.
We assume a particular solution to the N-Body Problem, for all $t>0$, and $h>0$, where $h$ is the total energy of the N-Bodies, show that $U\rightarrow \infty $ as $t\rightarrow \infty $. This mean that the distance between a pair of particles goes to infinity? (No.)
In the N-Body problem $U$ is given by $U=\sum_{1\leq i< j\leq N}\frac{Gm_{i}m_j}{\left \| q_i-q_j \right \|}$, where $G$ is the gravitational constant. The Kinetic energy is $T=\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{\left \| p_i \right \|^2}{2m_i}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{N}m_i{\left \| \dot{q}_i \right \|^2}$
The vector $q_{i}$ define the position vector of the $i$ particle. So Basically $U$ is like the sum of all the potential energies between all the $N$ particles. Also by the Lagrange Jacobi Formula, we have that $I$ is the moment of inertia, $T$ the kinetic energy so we can express:
where $h$ is a conserved quantity.
I think that if $U\rightarrow \infty $, then $T\rightarrow \infty$ (because $h$ is constant), the problem is that the only way that i see to $U\rightarrow \infty $ is when the distance between all the particles $\left \| q_i-q_j \right \| \rightarrow 0$, but it means that it will be a collision, so if we have a collision then $t\rightarrow t_1$ and not to $\infty$, because a collision takes a finite amount of time (Sundmanns theorem of total collapse), as I said i dont know what i have to define to show that $U\rightarrow \infty $ as $t\rightarrow \infty $, or maybe i need to define a $q_i(t)$ that in some way that $\left \| q_i-q_j \right \| $ goes very near to zero, but never zero, so $t$ can $t\rightarrow \infty$?
Also, what about the question of a pair of particles going to infinity? It is clear that they should not go to $\infty$ because then $U\rightarrow 0$, and we are trying to prove the other case.

Mistake #1 – Thinking your horse is like a dog or a cat.
Unless the new horse owner has been educated, they may think their horse is like a cat or dog. The new horse owner may pat his thigh and say, "C'mon" a few times and the horse will just leap into the trailer like a happy dog.
Since there is no one right way or one wrong way to train a horse, you may want to change the method you are using to train your horse. You have several different ways to choose from. If you are not having any luck with one method you can always try another.
When it comes to the welfare of the horse, riders and trainers do their best to ensure that the horse is not subject to pain under saddle. One of the most common debates is about training horses to be ridden with a bit and training them to be ridden without a bit. There are many advantages to both methods. For certain situations, a bit may be more efficient than not using one. In other situations, riding without a bit may be more comfortable to the horse than using a bit. It depends on the situation, the training level of the horse, the rider's abilities, and the goals that you are trying to achieve with your horse as to which method will work best.
The animal kingdom has a pecking order, which is very similar to our military. In the military the ranks in pecking order is General down to Private. The General will make the decisions on where to go and what to do, etc.
If you are either looking to buy a horse or maybe you have already acquired a horse. Either way the will need to be trained. Whether you do it yourself or hire a trainer to train the horse for you.
You should practice things your horse already knows before introducing something new. New skills should be introduced on something your horse already knows. Building on previously learnt skills is the key to being successful in horse training.

Fallon Solutions Master Plumbers are blocked drain specialists. Not only are our Plumbers fully trained and licenced, but we also put them through regular training courses to ensure that they are kept up to date with the latest technologies; one of these is "Trenchless Technology". Trenchless Technology means that our Plumbers can find out what is causing your blocked drain, remove the blockage and reline your pipe so it doesn't happen again; all without having to dig up your property. So if you have a blocked drain in Chandler, we can help.
One of the common causes of blocked drains is tree roots. If your drain pipe becomes cracked (even hairline cracks), then trees are great at finding these with their roots in search of moisture. Once these roots get into the pipe they start to expand creating an even bigger crack. Obviously just removing these tree roots won't fix the problem. Over time the tree roots will make their way back into your pipe, causing another blocked drain. The only way to prevent ongoing blocked drains is by removing the cracks altogether. But how do you remove the cracks?
The traditional method of repairing cracked pipes was to dig up and replace the section with the cracks. The end result was great, but the process was not always ideal. Particularly if the section was under your driveway or favourite garden feature. This is where Trenchless Pipe Relining and Patching comes in.
Pipe Relining and Patching is where we addd a new lining to the inside of the damaged pipe section. Pipe Patching is if it is only a small section and Pipe Relining is if it is a long length. This lining makes the pipe as good as new and lasts as long as the original pipe. The best bit though is that we can doi it all without having to dig up your property. All we need is access to a drain, inspection hatch or junction box.

An anonymous reader writes "We're seeing a new revolution in artificial intelligence known as deep learning: algorithms modeled after the brain have made amazing strides and have been consistently winning both industrial and academic data competitions with minimal effort. 'Basically, it involves building neural networks — networks that mimic the behavior of the human brain. Much like the brain, these multi-layered computer networks can gather information and react to it. They can build up an understanding of what objects look or sound like. In an effort to recreate human vision, for example, you might build a basic layer of artificial neurons that can detect simple things like the edges of a particular shape. The next layer could then piece together these edges to identify the larger shape, and then the shapes could be strung together to understand an object. The key here is that the software does all this on its own — a big advantage over older AI models, which required engineers to massage the visual or auditory data so that it could be digested by the machine-learning algorithm.' Are we ready to blur the line between hardware and wetware?"
