These are the courses that may be taught during the Spring 2021 semester.
Course Descriptions
This course examines the emergence of environmental consciousness in the United States throughout the 20th century. Students in this course will study the original writings of some of the most important thinkers and activists in the history of environmentalism, examine the social contexts in which their ideas formed, and consider their relevance to contemporary sustainability issues.
Course Number: IHSS 1310
Instructor: Kate Sohasky, Lecturer,
In this course, we'll jointly explore the central ideas and anticipated societal impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- What is AI and how will it shape the world in the decades to come?
- What ideas enable machines to see, use language, and reason, and how will these machines affect the world?
You will be introduced to state of art development in AI, discuss how the growth of AI impacts individuals and society, and explore how we can make AI better serve people's needs.
With the rapid development of technologies, AI is playing an increasingly important role in our society. AI can not only facilitate people in their everyday lives (e.g. smart home, Siri and other chatbots that provide directions and other useful information, Amazon's drones for making deliveries), but also have the power of monitoring and manipulating people's interaction. The study of AI therefore should come not only from the technological perspective, but also social and psychological perspectives.
This course is an excellent gateway course for an HCI concentration where human computer interactions are construed in the broadest possible terms. This course is also an excellent foundation for the informed and responsible use of computer-based technology.
Course Number: IHSS 1972
Ralph G. Noble and Mei Si
The term "American Dream" is familiar, but what role, specifically, does the imaginative play in American literature and culture, past and present? We will begin our explorations with a history of the American Dream, focusing on the role of imagination or fantasy during two eras: the nation's founding and civil rights. Grounded in these histories, we will turn our attention to how the Dream is portrayed in literature from a variety of periods as well as contemporary cultural texts, such as advertisements and film. Throughout our studies, we will inquire: What role does fantasy play in national identity? What is the function of a national imagination? How does the history of the American Dream, in particular, translate to our contemporary context? Assigned authors include Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Langston Hughes, Upton Sinclair, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Gish Jen, and Bharati Mukherjee. Course requirements include reading/viewing responses, student presentations, and a capstone assignment that allows students to choose between an analytical essay or a hybrid critical/creative project.
Course Number: IHSS 19XX
Instructor: Skye Anicca
Why is climate change an issue of justice, and not simply a problem to be solved through new technologies and economic solutions? How is climate justice different from, and a challenge to, mainstream environmental frameworks? This course will introduce students to the theories and concepts of climate justice. Students will investigate the ways in which climate change is entangled with histories of racism, sexism, ableism, and economic disparities and come to understand the role of design methodologies within this framework.
Course Number: IHSS 19XX
Instructor: Jara Moesch
Explore the fundamental materials of music, sound, and musical thought across many cultures. View musical elements through the lens of different cultural practices and traditions. Using a variety of examples from classical, popular, and non-western musical forms, we will examine the essential elements of music, including concepts of pitch, rhythm, melody, texture, ombre, and musical form.
Drawing on the resources of EMPAC and the Rensselaer faculty, you will experience a variety of live musical workshops and performances and discuss interdisciplinary evaluations of music and its effect on our minds and bodies. You will be challenged to create your own music, and to explore the impacts of music relative to your own interests and concerns.
Course Number: IHSS 1010
Instructor: Curtis Bahn
This course invites you into the world of philosophical ideas and reasoning -- to join a great conversation that has unfolded since Socrates exhorted people to lead an examined life 2,400 years ago in Ancient Greece. We will explore such issues as whether some ways of acting and living are morally better than others, the relationship that exists between mind and body, and whether philosophy has anything to contribute to ongoing discussions about the existence and nature of God. This course will include both frequent discussion and written assignments, and will aim to help you develop your skills in each of these modes of communication. This course is communication intensive.
Course Number: IHSS 1165
Instructor: Daniel Thero, Lecturer, Cognitive Science
PHD, State University of New York at Albany
This course is an exploration of the history of animation. We will begin with a look at precursors to the medium, its formation, and development, trace its development through both mainstream and experimental animation, to the current state of the medium across film, interactive media and other forms. The course will be based around screenings, readings, discussions and response and research papers.
Course Number: IHSS 1160

It is now over a century since the release of the first commercially successful jazz recording. Since that time, the energy, vitality, and challenging nature of jazz has had a major impact on music throughout the world. The question of "what is jazz" remains a lively and contentious discussion to this day. This course charts the emergence, evolution, and expanded influence of jazz music, as well as the many controversial musical, social, and philosophical questions it continues to provoke. The work of influential figures in American and European improvised music will be examined in detail, and the continuing development of jazz-inspired contemporary practices will be explored.
Through listening, analysis, discussion, writing, and creative projects, we will develop a greater appreciation and understanding of improvised music in a great variety of contexts, the crucial role American jazz played in revitalizing improvisational practice throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries, and the conditions which lead to the creation of new musical languages and aesthetics. By the end of the course, students will be able to identify major figures in jazz and jazz-influenced improvised music, identify different styles and eras, and have a basic vocabulary for discussing music both analytically and in personal responses.

PhD, Music, U.C. Berkeley
Will IT increase prosperity? For whom? What role should governments play in IT development? Do corporations have new responsibilities in the Information Era? What about IT professionals? This course explores the issues, the arguments, and working solutions. The first section examines macro indicators and trends. The second section examines the microeconomics and politics of specific arenas—the software industry, the automated work place, telemedicine, television. The last section explores opportunities for improving society, using IT. This is a communication-intensive course.

Course Number: IHSS 1560
Instructor: Christopher Jeansonne
A studio/lecture course on Performance Art, an action-based contemporary art practice that combines elements of theater, music, dance, games, sports, and others activities. Informed by readings and in-class discussions, students conceive, execute and document a series of hands-on projects. Students acquire experience with fabrication and workshop tools. Students employ other media such as photo, film and text to document and display their projects in a visual arts context. Students engage in the analysis of practices that impact society, culture and the environment. No previous experience with art is required.
Course Number: IHSS 1960
Jefferson W. Kielwagen, Lecturer
What makes music popular? This course examines popular music in society, considering the ways in which it may express identities, motivate political movements, and function within various economic and technological environments. Lectures are supplemented by listening assignments, both of recordings and live performances.
Course Number: IHSS 1710
Instructor: TBA
Economics is the study of our choices. Traditionally, these choices have been framed as how to best employ scarce resources to produce goods and services and distribute them for consumption. To describe these choices, we will introduce you to the concepts of opportunity cost, demand and supply theory, and market structures and consider the role of government in making resource allocation choices.
A foremost objective will be to identify and evaluate multiple diverse perspectives on contemporary and complex global issues and address their implications for social equity and welfare. We strive to take a critical look at these perspectives while practicing and applying the subject matter of economics.
Course Number: IHSS 1200
Instructor: Saraj Parrales
One of the most important things to learn about race, class and gender is that they are systemic forms of inequality. This does not make them irrelevant as individual or group characteristics but points us to the analysis of social structure to think about how race, class, and gender operate, what they mean, and how they influence people's lives. Using a social structural analysis of race, class gender and technology turns our attention to how they work as systems of power-systems that differentially advantage and disadvantage groups depending on their social location. This course seeks to explore the convergence of gender, class, race and technology in the workplace by analyzing policies and investigating the way management organizes work around new technology and identifying the personnel practices that shape the workforce and the application of new technology.
Instructor: Michael Stanford, Phd
Lecturer, Science and Technology Studies
This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of ethics of scientific research. Why do seemingly good people do bad things? What is science? What is "bad" science? What constitutes scientific misconduct? We will explore the answers to these questions through fields such as Sociology, History, Philosophy, Psychology etc. Using evidence from contemporary and historical scientific experiments we will try to understand why researchers might commit scientific misconduct such as fabrication of results, plagiarism, and falsification of data. A brief overview some philosophical theories of ethics and several professional/scientific codes of ethics will be covered.
Particular scientific discoveries will be examined, e.g. the Tuskegee Syphillis Study, to find out where the process of discovery went wrong. Narratives of scientific discovery, in particular the discovery of the double helix, will be explored and analyzed to understand issues of objectivity and bias in scientific work. A historical review of human subjects experiments such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment and the Arizona State Havasupai Genetic Experiment will be reviewed to understand issues of informed consent, cultural discrimination and whistleblowing.
Course Number: IHSS 1160
Susan L. Smith, Lecturer, Cognitive Science
PhD, University at Buffalo

Readings are drawn from history, fiction, and social sciences; films and documentary videos highlight questions about the application of scientific knowledge to human affairs. The class is designed to give students freedom to develop and express their own ideas. This is a communication-intensive course.
Course Number: STSH/STSS 1110
Eric Drumheller Schaffer
A communication-intensive course designed for students to develop their own voice as a songwriter.

Course Number: IHSS 1700
Instructor: Ross Rice
This course explores the role of walking in art, politics and religion -- investigating practices ranging from performance art to geolocated art apps, and from religious pilgrimages to protest marches. Through lecture, group discussion, readings and written assignments, students will explore how walking relates to issues not only of individual well-being, but of public space and private property, accessibility and disability, gender and race, as well as ecological issues. Students will engage in experiential movement practices drawn from a range of creative fields, and will develop their own personal walking project over the course of the semester.
Course Number: IHSS XXXX
Stephanie Loveless, Lecturer
This course examines how culture and society shape war, and inversely how war shapes culture and society. It views war through the lens of social sciences with case studies ranging from the role of war in non-western societies to the ways in which war has affected American culture. Some of the issues covered in the course include the study of different types of war, the relations between war and the nation-state, between weapons technology and culture, the notions of pacification and nation-building, and the role of rituals in the military institution.
Course Number: IHSS 1510

Posted , 8 users are following.
I have experienced, fatigue, aches and pains, headaches, lack of concentration, lack of motivation and memory problems (also self-harm a few years ago) which have not been diagnosed despite different tests. The only thing they could think of was low iron but even when taking extra iron there's no change
One thing that has been suggested is depression and it seems to fit the bill although my mood tends to be an up and down thing. I worry that because I'm not "down" all the time, I can be upbeat at times but othes I'm ittitable and just don't want to do anything at all.
Does this sound similar to anyone?
The fatigue is the thing that is effecting me daily and I struggle with a lot! Also my anxiety levels have gone up over the past year.
Does anyone have suggestions on if anti-depressants would help with my symptoms?
I'm concerned as a lot of the side effects are the reason I'd want to take them! Are the side effects constant or only for the first few weeks?
I know a lot of people say therapy and exercise help too but I just don't have the energy to do them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Life insurance protects the ones you love most from the financial consequences if something were to happen to you. While many people mistakenly believe that only parents or senior citizens need to purchase a policy, everyone needs this vital coverage. Knowing when to purchase life insurance can save a great deal of money in the long run and spare your loved ones from financial disaster.
Should You Purchase Life Insurance When You're Young?
How Does Buying Young Affect Rates?
While recent college graduates are typically more concerned with paying back their student loans and starting their careers, this is also the optimal time to purchase life insurance. These policies are age-banded, with premiums that steadily increase as you grow older. Buying a policy when you're young allows you to lock in a low rate for decades to come, providing coverage for the future when you may be providing for others.
What Does It Cover?
One benefit of life insurance is that it will cover the cost of your memorial service. The average funeral costs $8,000 or more, especially if your family wants a special service. Rather than having your loved ones go into debt or spend their savings if something happens to you, life insurance will cover these costs so those you care about can focus on one another.
What Other Benefits Will It Provide?
If you and your spouse both work, would they be able to pay the mortgage and all the other expenses without your income? If not, you may choose to leave behind enough insurance for them to pay your marital debts. A policy will allow them to begin rebuilding their life without worrying about finances.
Area Wide Insurance Agency in Naples, TX, offers affordable policies backed by one of the industry's most trusted carriers. Over the years, customers throughout northeast Texas have come to rely on them for detailed advice and coverage options designed around their needs.

Let the right one inSat, Mar 21, 2009./noise/movies | Link
Eller på svenska, Låt den rätte komma in. Very well constructed, but Moodysson can be that creepy without recourse to the supernatural.
Censorship as comedySat, Mar 21, 2009./noise/politics | Link
Well, that took longer than I expected: a derivative of the ACMA blacklist has been leaked, or least that's the claim; WikiLeaks is presently overloaded, and Conroy is not saying otherwise. I guess that if this censorship gambit is going to stake a some kind of claim to legitimacy by being consistent, they must start down the path of blacklisting Slashdot and all the other sites that, however indirectly, point at this list. Heh, they'll also need to make sure all the derived web filtering software locks it down properly too. Good luck with that.

In the last few years, Paris had been swamped by international luxury hotel brands, which have attempted to upend the primacy of Le Ritz, De Crillon, and other "palace" legends.
But we're very much intrigued by what's happening the next level down, where often more playful experimentation gets a proper airing. And indeed, Evok Hotels' new Sinner property is about as provocative a hotel as we could imagine. But now the burgeoning hotel purveyor has unveiled something decidedly more elegant, with the debut of the plush new Cour des Vosges hotel, also in the Marais.
A genuinely anti-scene hotel, it has just 12 distinctly luxurious rooms, with pink and blue pastel furnishings, candelabra lamps, azure tapestries, and four-poster beds. And really, what wouldn't you give to be able to stare out over the breathtakingly beautiful Place des Vosges from a leisurely soak in your clawfoot tub?
Downstairs, there's Brach – La Patisserie for light bites by chef Yann Brys, a 2011 Meilleur Ouvrier de France recipient. And the plush Tea Room also boasts an outdoor terrace.
The whole experience is more akin to staying in the extravagant 17th Century mansion of a friend with incomparably excellent taste. And did we mention it looks out over the Place des Vosges?

We have been hinting at it for a while and sometimes showed some sneak previews, but today is the happy day where we finally launch Hannelore Commers' first solo publication 'Hiraeth' (try pronouncing that really quickly six times in a row). Because of this joyous fact, we sat down with our favourite Belgian girl and talked about photography, about growing up and about the meaning of that Welsh word she picked as the title of her latest body of work. This girl keeps amazing us, not only with her pictures but with her words as well.

The Jensen Brand304
Paperback(Mass Market Paperback)
Bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone have thrilled readers with the epic struggles and hard-fought triumphs of the pioneering Jensen family. Now this great American saga continues—with the next generation of Jensens . . .
It's the dawn of a new century. But on the vast Sugarloaf Ranch not much has changed since legendary gunfighter Smoke Jensen and his wife Sally tamed the land two decades ago. Raising cattle is still a dangerous business—and just as deadly as ever. When Smoke is injured swapping bullets with some cow thieves, Sally puts out a call for help to Matt, Ace, and the rest of the Jensen clan. But time is running out. The bloodthirsty rustlers are ready to strike again—and there are lots more of them. And the Sugarloaf's last defense is Smoke and Sally's next of kin . . .
Enter the Jensen twins. Denise and her brother Louis have just returned home from their schooling in Europe. Louis is studying to be a lawyer and is too sickly to defend the ranch. But Denise is to the manor born—she can ride like a man, shoot like her daddy, and face down the deadliest outlaws like nobody's business. And there'll be plenty opportunity to prove she's got Jensen blood in her veins—cold, deadly, and playing for keeps . . .

Read an Excerpt
The Jensen Brand
By William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone
KENSINGTON PUBLISHING CORP.Copyright © 2017 J. A. Johnstone
All rights reserved.
The Sugarloaf Ranch, Colorado, 1901
A thin sliver of moon hung over the mountains bordering the valley, casting such a feeble amount of light that it did little to relieve the pitch blackness cloaking much of the landscape.
A rustlers' moon, Smoke Jensen thought.
"Are they there?" Calvin Woods whispered next to Smoke. "I can't see a blasted thing!"
"They're there," Smoke told his foreman. He raised the Winchester he held in both hands but didn't bring it to his shoulder just yet. A shot would spook the men who had been stealing his cattle, and he didn't want them to take off for the tall and uncut before he had a chance to nab them. "Hold your fire ..."
Hidden in the trees along with Smoke and Cal were half a dozen more Sugarloaf hands, all of them young and eager for action, like frisky colts ready to stretch their legs. One reason cowboys signed on to ride for the Sugarloaf was the prospect of working for Smoke Jensen, quite possibly the most famous gunfighter the West had ever known. They figured just being around Smoke upped the chances for excitement.
That was true. Even though Smoke had put his powder-burning days behind him more than two decades earlier and settled down to be a peace-loving rancher, things hadn't quite worked out that way. Trouble still seemed to find him on a fairly regular basis, despite his intentions.
That was the way it was with Jensens. None of them had ever been plagued with an abundance of peace and quiet.
In recent weeks, for example, Sugarloaf cattle had begun disappearing on a regular basis. Only a few at first, then more and more as the thieves grew bolder. Smoke was in his fifties, and it only made sense to believe that he might have slowed down some. Some might have figured he wasn't the same sort of pure hell on wheels he had been when he was younger.
Those rustlers were about to find out how wrong they were to assume that.
"There to the right," Smoke whispered as he looked out across the broad pasture where a couple hundred cattle were settled down for the night. "Coming out of that stand of trees."
"I see 'em," Cal replied, equally quiet. He had started out as a young cowboy, too, twenty years earlier. Back then, the reformed outlaw known as Pearlie was the Sugarloaf's ramrod, and he and Cal had become fast friends. Pearlie was also a mentor to Cal, who'd learned everything there was to know about running a ranch. When it came time for Pearlie to retire, it was only natural for Cal to move into the foreman's job.
He still looked a little like a kid, though, despite the mustache he had cultivated in an attempt to make himself seem older. However, no one on the crew failed to hop when he gave an order.
On the other side of the pasture, several riders moved out of the trees and rode slowly toward the cattle. It was too dark to make out any details about them or even to be sure of how many there were. But they didn't belong and there was only one reason for them to be there.
Calling out softly, slapping coiled lassos against their thighs, they started moving a jag of about a hundred head along the valley, toward the north end.
"I've seen all I need to see," Cal said. "Let's blast 'em outta their saddles."
"I'd rather round up a few of them if we can," Smoke said. "I'd like to know if they started this wide-looping on their own or if they're working for somebody."
"You got suspicions?"
"No ... but if there's a head to this snake, I'd just as soon know about it so I can cut it off." Smoke leaned his head to indicate they should pull back, although it was doubtful Cal saw the gesture in the thick shadows. "Let's drift on back to the horses."
"If we go chargin' out there, we'll scatter those cows all over kingdom come," Cal warned.
Smoke chuckled. "They can be rounded up again."
Silently, the men moved through the trees until they reached the spot where they had left their horses and swung up into the saddles. Over the years of his adventurous life, Smoke had learned to trust his gut. He'd had a hunch the rustlers might strike again that night, so he, Cal, and some of the hands had gone out to a likely spot for more villainy where they could stand watch and maybe catch the cattle thieves in the act.
"Are you gonna give those varmints a chance to surrender, Smoke?" Cal sounded like he hoped the answer would be no.
"Yes ... but not much of one. They'd better throw down their guns and get their hands in the air in a hurry. Other wise ..." Smoke didn't have to elaborate.
All the cowboys would be checking their guns before they rode out into the pasture.
He gave instructions. "We'll swing around and come up behind them. I'll hail them. If they start the ball, you fellas do what you have to. Like I said, it would be nice to take some of them alive, but I'd much rather all of you boys come through this with whole hides. Now let's go."
With Smoke and Cal in the lead, the men rode slowly through the trees until they reached the edge of the growth. The dark mass of the cattle was to the left, moving away as the rustlers pushed the reluctant animals along. Smoke and his companions moved out into the open and started after them, still not hurrying but moving fast enough to catch up to the plodding cattle.
The sounds made by the cattle and the hooves of the rustlers' horses were enough to muffle the advance of Smoke and his men. At least Smoke hoped that was the case. The rustlers hadn't panicked yet, at least.
The group from the Sugarloaf closed in.
Smoke had his Winchester in his right hand and the reins in his left. He looped the reins around the saddle horn, knowing he could control the rangy gray gelding with his knees. With both hands gripping the rifle, he shouted, "You're caught! Throw down your guns!"
Instead of surrendering, the rustlers yanked their horses around. Spurts of gun flame bloomed in the darkness like crimson flowers as they opened fire.
In one smooth motion, Smoke brought the rifle to his shoulder, aimed at one of the spurts of orange, and squeezed the trigger. The Winchester cracked. He barely felt the weapon's recoil. Working the lever to throw another round in the chamber, he shifted his aim, and swiftly fired a second shot then kneed his horse into motion and charged toward the rustlers.
Around him, Cal and the other Sugarloaf hands galloped forward, yelling and shooting.
The thieves scattered in all directions, abandoning the cows they were trying to steal.
Although it was difficult to see much, Smoke and his allies continued aiming at the muzzle flashes of their enemies. Of course, the rustlers were doing the same thing. The air was filled with flying lead.
Smoke always hoped his men would come through such encounters unscathed, but knew better than to expect it.
He made out one of the fleeing rustlers and closed in on the man, who twisted in the saddle and flung a shot back at him. Smoke felt as much as heard the slug rip through the air not far from his ear. That was good shooting from the back of a running horse. He leaned forward to make himself a smaller target and urged his mount to greater speed.
As he drew close to his quarry, the rustler turned to try another shot, but Smoke lashed out with the barrel of the Winchester. It thudded against the rustler's head and swept him out of the saddle. Both horses galloped on for a few strides before Smoke was able to swing his mount around. Elsewhere in the big pasture, gunfire still crackled.
He swung down from the saddle and let the reins drop, knowing the horse was trained not to go anywhere. Keeping his rifle pointed at the dim figure on the ground, Smoke approached him. The fallen rustler didn't move.
Smoke ordered, "Put your hands in the air!" but there was no response. Wary of a trick, he lowered the rifle and drew the Colt on his right hip. The revolver was better for close work. Almost supernaturally fast with it, he was confident he could put a bullet in the varmint before he had a chance to try anything.
"On your feet if you can, and keep your hands where I can see 'em!"
The rustler remained motionless. He appeared to be lying facedown. Smoke hooked a boot toe under his shoulder and rolled him onto his back.
The loose-limbed way the man flopped over spoke volumes. The fall from the running horse had either busted the rustler's head open or broken his neck, more likely the latter. Either way, he sure looked dead.
Or he was mighty good at playing possum.
Smoke backed off and holstered the Colt. He'd return later and check on the rustler. At the moment, his men needed his help elsewhere.
He mounted up quickly and rode toward the sound of the guns, which had become intermittent. The shots died out completely as Smoke approached several dark shapes that turned into men on horseback as he got closer.
He had his rifle ready, but he recognized the voice that called, "Smoke? Is that you?"
"Yeah, Cal, it's me. Are you all right?"
"Fine as frog hair. How about you?"
"A few of those bullets came close enough for me to hear, but that's all. How about the other fellas?"
"Don't know. Randy and Josh are with me and they're all right, but I can't say about the rest."
"And the rustlers?"
"We downed a couple. Don't know about the rest of them, either."
Smoke said, "The fight seems to be over. Let's see if we can round up the rest of our bunch."
"Then we can round up those cows," Cal said. "They scattered hell-west and crosswise, just like I figured they would."
"But they're still on Sugarloaf range," Smoke pointed out. "Those rustlers didn't succeed in driving them off."
"They sure didn't!"
Smoke drew his Colt and fired three shots into the air, the signal for his riders to regroup. Over the next few minutes they came in. One man had a bullet burn on his arm, but the others were unhurt ... until the last two horses plodded up. One man rode in front, leading the other horse.
Smoke could make out a shape draped over the second horse's saddle, and the sight made his jaw tighten in anger. "Who's that?" he snapped.
"I'm Jimmy Holt, Mr. Jensen." With a catch in his voice, the young cowboy said, "That's Sid MacDowell behind me. He ... he cashed in his chips. One of those damn rustlers drilled him right through the brisket. I ain't sure Sid had time to know what happened."
"Might be better that way," Smoke muttered. "What about the rustlers? Did any of them get away?"
"I think one of them did," another cowboy reported. "I'm pretty sure he was hit, but he managed to stay on his horse. Do you want us to see if we can trail him, Mr. Jensen?"
"The best tracker in the world couldn't follow a trail on a night like this, and I've known a few who could lay claim to that title." Smoke shook his head. "No, we might see if we can find any tracks in the morning, but right now, some of you boys start gathering those cows and the rest of you come with me and Cal. I want to see if any of the rustlers are still alive."
For the next half hour, Smoke, Cal, and a couple other men rode around the pasture, hunting for the bodies of the rustlers. Smoke hoped to find at least one of them only wounded and still able to talk, but as thief after thief turned up dead, that hope began to fade.
Finally they rode over to the man Smoke had knocked out of his saddle. Smoke knelt beside him, struck a lucifer, and saw by its flaring light that the rustler's wide, staring eyes were sightless. The unnatural twist of his head told that his neck was broken. Smoke had tried to take him alive, but fate had had other ideas.
Smoke straightened and told Cal, "You can bring a wagon out here in the morning and collect the bodies ... if the wolves haven't dragged them off by then. Haul 'em into Big Rock to the undertaker. I'll pay to have them put in the ground if they don't have enough money on them to cover the cost."
Cal nodded. "Should I get Sheriff Carson to take a look at them?"
"Wouldn't hurt. Chances are some of them are wanted. You fellas might have some reward money coming to you."
Cal rubbed his chin. "I'm not sure I'd want to take blood money. On the other hand, the world's probably better off without these varmints, and that's worth something, I guess."
"Up to you." Smoke wouldn't be taking any reward money. Between the Sugarloaf's success and the lucrative gold claim he had found many years earlier, he was one of the wealthiest men in Colorado, although no one would ever know it to look at him. He still dressed like a common cowhand.
"We'll make sure none of those cattle ran too far when they spooked, then head back to the bunkhouse," Cal said. "How about you?"
Smoke had already turned his horse. He said over his shoulder, "I'm headed home."CHAPTER 2
The small ranch house that Smoke had built when he and Sally first settled on the Sugarloaf had been added onto many times over the years, until it was a big, sprawling, two-story structure surrounded by cottonwoods and oaks. He always felt good when he rode up to it. He couldn't help but think about all the fine times he and his wife and their children had had. More often than not, the house had rung with laughter.
As he approached the house, he saw that a lamp still burned in the parlor despite the late hour. The glow in the window was dim enough he knew the flame was turned low. More than likely, Sally had waited up for him. That came as no surprise.
Movement on the porch caught his eye. Out of habit — one that had saved his life on occasion — his hand was close to the butt of his revolver. He relaxed, though, as he recognized Pearlie's tall, lanky figure.
"Thought I heard shots up yonderways a while back," the retired foreman said as he came down the steps from the porch. "You must've had a run-in with those wide-loopers."
"We did." Smoke dismounted. "They figured on chasing off a hundred head. We changed their minds."
Pearlie reached for the reins of Smoke's horse. "I'll take care of that for you. I ain't forgot how to wrangle a cayuse. How's the kid?"
Even though Cal wasn't that far from being middle-aged, he would always be a kid to Pearlie. The two of them had shared many adventures, had been through tragedy and triumph together, and were fast friends.
"Cal's fine," Smoke assured him. "We lost one man. Sid MacDowell."
"Blast it! I didn't really know the younker — Cal hired him, not me — but he deserved better 'n a damn rustler's bullet."
"That's the truth. We tried to even the score for him, though. Five carcasses are still out there for Cal to haul into town in the morning."
"Didn't manage to take any of 'em alive?"
Smoke shook his head. "Nope. And one got away, although he might've been wounded. We'll do some tracking in the morning and see if we can turn up another body."
"Even if you don't, killin' five out of six practically wipes out the gang," Pearlie said.
"Only if there were just half a dozen of them to start with," Smoke pointed out.
"No reason to think otherwise, is there?"
"Not really," Smoke admitted. "If the rustling stops now, I reckon we can assume that was all. But if they were just part of a bigger gang —"
"We'll probably know that soon enough, too," Pearlie said in a gloomy voice. He started toward the barn, leading Smoke's horse, and added over his shoulder, "Miss Sally's waitin' up in the parlor."
Even though Smoke was tired and the smell of gun smoke clung to him, he was smiling as he stepped into the house.
Wearing a soft robe, Sally was sitting in one of the rocking chairs beside the table where the lamp burned. She was reading a book, but she set it aside on the table and looked up with a smile as he stepped into the parlor.
She was on her feet by the time he reached her. Her arms went around his neck and his arms encircled her trim waist. Their mouths met in a passionate kiss that had lost none of its urgency despite the time they had been together.
He lifted his lips from hers and said, "You ought to be in bed getting your beauty sleep ... not that you need it."
That was certainly true. There might be a few more small lines on Sally's face, and if you looked hard enough you could find a strand of gray here and there in her thick, lustrously dark hair, but to Smoke she was every bit as beautiful as when he had first laid eyes on her in the town of Bury, Idaho, all those years ago.
Smoke knew he hadn't changed much, either. If there was gray in his hair, its natural ash blond color made that sign of age hard to see. Most men on the far side of fifty were past the prime of life, but not Smoke Jensen. He was still as vital as ever, his muscular, broad-shouldered frame near to bursting with strength. He attributed that to fresh air, sunshine, clean living, and being married to the prettiest girl alive.
"I didn't see any bloodstains on your clothes when you came in," Sally said, "so I assume you're all right."
"How do you know there was even any trouble?"
"You went out looking for it, didn't you? If there's one thing Smoke Jensen is good at, it's finding trouble."
He chuckled. "I'd like to think I'm good for more than one thing."
"Well, we might find out about that in a little while, but first, tell me what happened."

Suffering of the Mothers with Low Birth Weight Infants Hospitalized Suffering of the Mothers with Low Birth Weight Infants Hospitalized in Sick Newborn Care Unit
Main Article Content
This qualitative research study aimed to explore the suffering of mothers who gave birth to low birth weight infants. The participants consisted of 24 mothers with low birth weight infants who were hospitalized in newborn care units at regional public hospitals in Eastern Thailand. An in-depth interview with open-ended questions was used to collect data. Qualitative content analysis was conducted for data analysis. The findings revealed 5 themes of mother's suffering including, 1) mother's suffering characteristics: anxiety/stress, sadness, sleeplessness, and no appetite; 2) causes of mothers' suffering: fear of complications and death of infants; 3) factors affecting mothers' suffering: the health condition of infants, and family support, 4) the means to reduce suffering: creating hope, making merit, praying, and accepting the infant's condition; and 5) outcomes of reducing suffering: living with suffering, reduced suffering, and having hope. The findings enhance understanding about mother's suffering. Nurses or other health care providers could develop nursing interventions for reducing suffering based on these findings.

text: Xxiled 10 Report post Posted August 12, 2014 Without doubt this is most likely the millionth time someone has posted on this subject, but I'm going to do it anyway.... I find the drop rate on the Plagues Bite to be....painful....ridiculous...a bottle neck for the community that everyone must suffer needlessly. I've heard from some that say they camped Desash for over a month....killed him in excess of 160 times before a PB finally dropped. Is this how some define "enjoyable playing experience".? I don't and I'm guessing most don't either. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a hand out but consider the difference it would make if the drop rate was just doubled.....reducing it to a 2 week camp....or only having to kill him 80 times before it dropped.....even that seems excessive but would be better. I'm sure everyone has their own personal gripes about something in the game, but for me this is really the only issue I have a problem with, other than people quitting the game with my feathers in their vault....

Professional athletes spend a lot of time together and put in a lot of work to get to play at the elite levels they do. Those two common factors lead to some pretty normal things in locker rooms, like pranks and hazing.
While playing in his first Pro Bowl, former New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather experienced both in one pretty funny encounter.
Meriweather, who is a weekly guest on 98.5 The Sports Hub's "Toucher and Rich," once was duped into getting pretty drunk on Patriots coach Bill Belichick's tab. His former teammate, retired Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light, called in to Wednesday's show following Meriweather's appearance to recount the story.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that encounter.
Hear Meriweather recall getting drunk before the Pro Bowl >>

LONDON: India's biggest ride-hailing platform Ola Cabs, which is run by ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd, has received approval from London's transport regulator to start private hire vehicles (PHV) in the capital city of the UK.
This would allow Ola to mount a challenge to Uber Technologies Inc., and also take on Daimler AG-backed "Bolt" ride-hailing service, which received a licence from Transport For London (TFL), London's local government body, in June.
Ola UK Pvt. Ltd has received a one-year carriage licence from TFL to operate "PHV vehicles" across London where drivers themselves are required to apply for a licence and list their vehicle as a privately registered vehicle for hire, according to a company statement.
The development comes just days after Morgan Stanley analysts signalled that Ola would become the biggest threat to Uber in the UK, since Ola has raised far more capital than the rest of the app-based taxi operators.
Bolt which was formerly known as Taxify, recently re-entered the UK. Bolt has only raised around $190 million to $280 million in funding so far, compared to Ola's massive war chest of $3.8 billion, according to a Morgan Stanley report last week.
"We believe Ola is arguably a greater threat if media reports of Ola's entry into London at the end of the year prove accurate," the analysts said in their report.
Ola counts SoftBank Corp., Sequoia Capital, Accel, and automakers like Kia Motors and Hyundai as its investors. The company is continuing efforts to build a massive war chest to battle deep-pocketed Uber, especially in India.
Ola first entered the UK in August 2018 with licences to operate across south Wales, including in Cardiff, Newport, and Vale of Glamorgan.
It has also started its services in Australia in February this year and named Simon Smith as the managing director to manage operations in the country. Ola has 40,000 drivers across Australia on board since, according to the company.
Based in Bengaluru, Ola has a presence in 150 cities across India, besides operations in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, serving more than 150 million users with more than a billion rides annually.
A person directly aware of the development who declined to be named said that the company has "received more than 10,000 driver registrations to operate private cabs across the UK".
"Ola will be the first ever platform to offer both PHVs and black cabs in the UK," the person said. The company already has been listing black cabs on its platform since its launch in the UK in August across cities like Reading, Birmingham, Cardiff, etc., said a company spokesperson.
The spokesperson for Ola also added that the company is "looking forward to building world-class mobility offerings for London, by collaborating with drivers, riders, the government, and local authorities". "London is one of the world's most iconic cities and hosts a progressive mobility environment. We couldn't be more excited to bring Ola to London in the time ahead."

Oct 31, 2019 01:32PM
By North Hills Monthly magazine
Mike Zdinak, patient, and Christopher Wentz, MD, UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute
High school teacher Mike Zdinak, 40, thought he was having indigestion or fighting off the flu when he stopped to pick up his daughter's eyeglasses at Family Eye Care in McIntyre Square. But moments later, he fell to the floor. As the staff called 911, bystanders and a responding police officer worked frantically to keep him alive with CPR and shocks from an automated external defibrillator.
Within minutes, a local Emergency Medical Service (EMS) team arrived. An electrocardiogram (EKG) performed on site confirmed that Mike was suffering a massive heart attack as the cause of the sudden cardiac arrest. Paramedics continued administering lifesaving shocks and fluids as they whisked him by ambulance to UPMC Passavant.
Because they had already been alerted by the EMS, UPMC Passavant's Emergency Department and cardiac catheterization team were waiting to begin treatment. After stabilizing him in the ED, Mike was moved to the cath lab where interventional cardiologist Christopher Wentz, MD, performed a lifesaving emergency angioplasty.
Mike's "door-to-balloon" — the time between his arrival at the hospital to when a balloon was inflated in his blocked artery to restore blood flow to his heart — was just 65 minutes. He had survived blockages to two main arteries, including his left anterior descending artery, known as "the widowmaker" because blockages there are often fatal.
A STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) is a serious heart attack in which a coronary artery is completely blocked, preventing blood from flowing to a large area of the heart. Heart muscle will die if blood flow is not restored quickly.
"When you're having a heart attack, time is muscle. Quick intervention increases your chance of survival and minimizes damage to the heart," says Dr. Wentz.
In Mike's case, the STEMI led to sudden cardiac arrest, which means his heart stopped beating. Without the heart pumping blood, the brain and other organs are starved of oxygen. Immediate treatment is needed to prevent brain damage and death.
"He actually dropped dead," says Dr. Wentz. "But Mike is alive today because everyone acted quickly and a system was in place to promptly provide the specialized care he needed."
National guidelines call for hospitals to perform an angioplasty within 90 minutes — starting from the moment a patient enters the hospital until the balloon is inflated and blood flow is restored. At UPMC Passavant, the hospital averages an impressive "door-to-balloon" time of just 68 minutes, says Saleem Ahmed, MD, an interventional cardiologist and director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab.
"Time is critical. The faster we restore blood flow through the arteries, the less damage there is to the heart," says Dr. Ahmed.
At UPMC Passavant, a team of interventional cardiologists, nurses, and technologists is on call 24/7 to treat emergency heart conditions. Team members, who are required to live near the hospital, must be at the state-of-the-art cath lab within 30 minutes. There, doctors diagnose and treat heart problems using specialized imaging equipment to visualize the heart's arteries and chambers.
How fast heart attack patients receive medical intervention is key to their survival and quality of life. That's why EMS responders play such a vital role in this lifesaving effort, says Dr. Ahmed. Not only can they start treatment when they arrive on the scene, they also can use an EKG in the field to quickly diagnose a STEMI and activate the cath lab — up to a half hour sooner than if someone arrives at the hospital by car.
This "field-to-balloon" time — or "first medical contact" to balloon time — also has a 90-minute goal to reopen an artery. At UPMC Passavant, the average field-to-balloon time is 88 minutes.
"It takes a coordinated effort by EMS, nurses, technicians, and doctors to get a patient into the lab as quickly as possible," says Dr. Ahmed. "Our goal is to open that blocked artery as fast as we can."
EMS workers are specially trained to revive someone like Mike, whose heart has stopped beating, he notes. In addition, those patients with chest pain who arrive by ambulance often go directly to the cath lab, he adds.
At UPMC Passavant, data is collected from every STEMI case, which is then reviewed and analyzed by a STEMI Committee made up of representatives from the cath lab, ED, and local EMS. Time is only one measure that is reviewed. The committee also looks at outcomes and complications.
"We review every step in the process and look for ways to improve it," says Dr. Ahmed.
Some STEMI cases are obvious, but others can be more subtle and difficult to detect. That's why false activation of the cath lab team by EMS is always possible, he says. "But that's the cost of getting STEMI patients identified quickly. We'd rather err on the side of caution," Dr. Ahmed says.
That's precisely why the STEMI Committee reviews each case. "It's a learning experience. We look at each step to determine where we can do better," he says. In addition to representation on the committee, EMS workers also participate in education programs on EKG readings and the subtleties they may encounter.
"The EMS responders are an integral part of our team," says Dr. Ahmed.
As a tertiary care center, UPMC Passavant is fully equipped to handle emergency cardiac interventions and complex open heart surgeries, such as valve replacements and coronary bypasses. Its partnership with the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute means patients have access to an entire system of internationally acclaimed experts, sophisticated life-saving treatments, and technology.
"People in the northern communities can feel confident knowing they have a hospital like Passavant in their back yard," says Dr. Ahmed.
That's exactly how Mike feels. The Ross Township resident says he feels lucky to have an "excellent hospital sitting right over the hill."
"I grew up in the North Hills and I know we take Passavant for granted. But we are fortunate to have a hospital of that caliber here in our own community," he says.
Mike, who spent a month in UPMC Passavant's cardiothoracic intensive care unit and 10 days in inpatient rehabilitation, has had a slow but steady recovery. In September, the father of three returned to the Hampton School District as a special education teacher at Poff Elementary School.
"I've heard about people who dropped dead of a heart attack, but I never thought it would be me," says Mike.
"They saved my life — that combination of first responders, emergency staff, the cath lab team, and follow up care. I really shouldn't be here. The fact that I'm talking now says how amazing my care was."
Surviving a Heart Attack
How do you survive a heart attack? By acting fast and calling 911, says Christopher Wentz, MD, an interventional cardiologist with the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute at UPMC Passavant.
"When you're having a heart attack, time is critical," says Dr. Wentz. "Calling 911 is the fastest way to get emergency treatment. It can save your life and minimize damage."
In addition to relaying vital signs and EKG results to alert the hospital cath lab team, EMS responders can treat patients at the scene — or in the ambulance — with oxygen and defibrillators to restart the heart if it stops beating.
While some heart attacks are sudden and intense, most start slowly with mild pain or discomfort. Often overlooked are the more subtle signs, including shortness of breath or a feeling of indigestion or upset stomach.
• Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach
• Shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, weakness, or lightheadedness

But my kids are little. 3 and 4. I still have to lay down with the 3yo to get him to sleep.
The idea of not being around to help with any of that is supremely disturbing.
Then it went away
...and how it would impact my wife and kids.
Is this a common occurrence as you get older? Because I woke up kinda disturbed.

({{r|RPG|Romulan Ship Recognition Manual}}) ==History== The ''Bird-of-Prey'' was brought into service in the [[2260s]] as the [[Romulan Star Empire]] began its plans to re-establish itself as a major power after more than a century hiding behind its borders. After the first tests of two of the ships were successful, a single Bird-of-Prey was sent over the [[Romulan Neutral Zone|Neutral Zone]] to test the [[Federation]]'s strengths. ({{r|ST|Ships of the Line}}) The lone Bird-of-Prey successfully struck a number of Federation outposts before it was pursued by the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}, and eventually destroyed. ({{e|TOS|Balance of Terror}}) The Bird-of Prey served throughout the rest of the 23rd century and final ships of the class were finally removed from service in the early [[24th century]]. ({{r|ST|{{st|Starship Spotter}}}}) The Romulans of the [[Mirror Universe]] also utilized vessels of this class, as [[Spock (mirror)|Spock]] used the [[tantalus Field]] to wipe out its crew and take the vessel to [[Starbase 10]]. ([[TOS]] [[novel]]: [[The Sorrows of Empire]]) ==Features== The Bird-of-Prey is [[warp]] capable and fitted with two innovative systems; a [[plasma torpedo]] weapon capable of massive destruction, and a revolutionary new [[cloaking device]]. However the power demands of all these systems are limiting factors on the ship's abilities as the ship's power core can only produce enough power to use one of the three at a time.

This is because the source giving Bird-of-Prey as a class name predates the later establishment in {{e|ENT|Minefield}} of Bird-of-Prey classes more than century earlier. The class name of ''Bird-of-Prey'' could therefore now be a continuity error. If the Romulans name [[starship class]]es after the [[prototype]] ship, it is possible that the {{pre|ChR|Bird-of-Prey}} of [[Commander]] [[Julina]] in {{n|TOS|Black Fire}} is a candidate to have been the first ship of this line. {{Bird-of-prey classes}} {{Romulan starship classes}} ===External link=== * {{memoryalpha|Romulan bird-of-prey (23rd century)}} Loading editor Romulan starship classes Insert: – — … ° à é ö ¼ ½ ¾ ← → ↑ ↓ • † ‡ Sign your name: – ~~~~ Wiki markup & common links: [[Category:]] [[Wikipedia:|]] {{wikipedia|}} {{realworld}} {{imageparamount}} {{MA-link|}} #REDIRECT [[]]   <gallery> File: File: File: </gallery> {{USS|||}} {{IKS|}} {{Class|}} {{MU|}} {{ST|}} {{imagesource||subcat=}} {{welcome-anon}} {{welcome}} {{DEFAULTSORT:}} [[file:ufp-emblem.jpg|45px|UFP_emblem_image.]] This field is a spam trap.

How to take a digital pulse
Your pony has a digital pulse all the time, but it's not easy to find unless there's a problem.
You can find your pony's digital pulse at the back of his fetlock and just above his heel. If there's problem, the pulse will be stronger, not faster.
Place your thumb and finger either side of his pastern, below the fetlock. Slide your hand down to above his heel and you should be able to feel the pulse.
Run your thumb and finger down the sides of his tendons until your reach the sides of his fetlock, then press gently to feel the pulse. If you can't feel anything, adjust the pressure and try again.
Top tip
A strong digital pulse is often associated with laminitis, but can be a sign of a hoof abscess.
Did you know?
The digital pulse can be useful for telling you which side of the hoof an abscess is on – it's usually the same as the strong pulse.

Just wanted to tell you a big big thank you for this
magnificent tool.
Works great and smoothly like butter
well, i've tried a lot of things to get past starforce, and i still can't, and curerom doesn't work for me either, it's really starting to aggrivate me because all of the new games are starting to use starforce. i followed the little wizard that curerom has and i did everything right and tried to open the shortcut and starforce still told me to insert the cd. i'm about to just give up and avoid starforce games from now on.
There is a very good reason why it doesn't work with Starforce! see post '10'Originally Posted by dermaeher
'it only hides virtual(SCSI) CD/DVD-Rom's from SafeDisk 4.X and SecuROM 7'
It's good policy to read the whole thread first before jumping to conclusions
Search the posts & you will find many replies on how to run Starforce protected games

Informal organization conveys Off-Facebook Activity device, limiting information accessible to computerized promoters
Facebook at last revealed a "clear history" button that lets individuals eradicate their online tracks, adding to the potential barriers publicists face focusing on customers as more web organizations lockdown information.
On Tuesday, Facebook made "Off-Facebook Activity" accessible to every one of its clients, after just discharging the security measure in a constrained manner a year ago. The choice is accessible in individuals' settings menu on the informal organization, and it prompts a rundown of brands that have information on the client. Individuals can check whether brands—Hulu, J. Team, Home Depot and any mass advertisers—have imparted information to Facebook.
Facebook clients can likewise erase the information, so the brand could never again utilize that association as an approach to focus on the individual with promotions. It's like clearing the web movement in a program and eradicating treats, which are the product records that keep logs of what locales an individual visits and other conduct.
By eradicating these tracks, promoters make some hard memories re-focusing on the shoppers that visit their sites, sign into their applications and make buys in their stores. It likewise makes it hard for promoters to monitor their advertising efforts. On the off chance that an individual erases their online tracks, a brand probably won't have the option to tell if and when they served that individual an advertisement, and whether that promotion was compelling.
Be that as it may, it is not yet clear what number of Facebook clients are keen on dealing with their settings to eradicate the information. Sponsors state appropriation among the open will be constrained, so they are not excessively concerned. "I don't anticipate this getting sufficient scale to really impact our business or our clients' business," says George Manas, president and boss media official of OMD U.S.
"Consumers have a track record of apathy when it comes to actively managing their privacy," says Aaron Goldman, CMO at advertising innovation organization 4C. "Whether it's deleting cookies or clearing history, these tools typically get very little usage and have very little impact on marketers."
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new protection apparatus in a blog entry on Tuesday. Facebook has made various changes to the manner in which it handles clients' information and how that information influences publicizing. The organization is reacting to an increasingly watchful protection condition in the U.S. also, around the globe, where there have been worries over how web organizations secure individuals' close to home data. Europe drove the route with General Data Protection Regulation in 2018, and it was trailed by laws in the U.S., like the recently sanctioned California Consumer Privacy Act.
Facebook likewise has been under a magnifying lens since Cambridge Analytica was uncovered in 2017. The outsider information organization manhandled the web based life data of up to 87 million clients. A year ago, Facebook settled the protection break for $5 billion with the Federal Trade Commission.
In 2018, Facebook prohibited outsider information suppliers like Acxiom, Experian and Epsilon, dismissing them from its robotized advertisement stage, so brands could never again straightforwardly get to their information to make focusing on crowds. It was an indication that Facebook would be stricter with how brands use purchaser information to arrive at clients on its foundation.
Facebook has cautioned that with less information accessible for advertisement focusing on, its promotions may be less important with brands ready to save money on them. On Wednesday, Facebook is set to discharge its final quarter income report.
Google and Apple have made security improvements which influence the advanced promoting world. Apple has been the most forceful, with hostile to following systems in Safari internet browser, which keeps brands from coming to an obvious conclusion as individuals skip around the web through treats. Recently, Google reported it would submit a general direction to Apple and eliminate outsider treats inside two years.
The adjustments in how information is gathered and shared could end up helping the top web publicizing organizations like Facebook and Google, while pressing out the organizations that construct promoting innovation organizations dependent on the old framework. On the off chance that Google and Facebook control the information all the more firmly, promoters state, at that point brands are progressively under obligation to them to run their crusades.
"These moves while they're being done in the spirit of consumer data privacy standards," Manas says. "They are also pretty clearly advantageous to a Facebook, Google, Amazon and other major platform players who own and operate an ecosystem that is essentially one giant first-party data ecosystem."
Brands and their advertisement tech accomplices are thinking of better approaches to backtrack the advanced impressions back to shoppers while working inside the new security structure, says Goldman of 4C. "The trend in the industry is definitely moving towards more of a privacy focus and brands need to have strategies in place to target their most valuable customers without relying on second or third-party data," Goldman says.
