After the Checkered Flag-
Historically, Welsh sheep are shorn twice in the year. Besides the regular shearing in May/June, the wool was clipped close about the neck and forequarters in September/October, otherwise all of it would be lost in summer and winter wanderings of the animal among the thickets, and furze in search of food during those seasons.

Configuring my Windows 10 Home Server
Posted on Sun 14 August 2016 in SysAdmin
I used to run Linux on various small NAS devices (most recently a D-Link DNS 320 2 bay device), however I got tired of futzing around with both the hardware and the esoteric flavor of Linux you can side-load onto it. I now run a small HP Proliant Gen8 Microserver configured with 4GB Ram and 3TB of mirrored storage at home; this system is running Windows 10 Professional (pro is required to use the built-in Remote Desktop server). Below is a list of software I've found useful.
Stablebit DrivePool
DrivePool is the spiritual successor of Drive Extender which disappeared with the demise of Windows Home Server (why...?!); it allows you to combine drives of any size into one or more 'pools' which are represented by a single drive letter in Windows Explorer; you can continue to add new drives to extend the size of the pool and configure the level of redundancy on a folder-by-folder basis (eg: if you have 3 physical hard-drives in a single pool, you could triplicate your 'My Documents' folder for additional redundancy but only duplicate your 'My Videos' folder to make more space available to the rest of the pool).
DrivePool can be configured to send you an email should any of the drives fail and is only $29 but a license.
Freebyte Task Scheduler
I've never got my head around Windows Scheduled tasks; it seems needlessly complicated compared to cron on Linux. Freebyte Task Scheduler provides a straight forward GUI for automating tasks under your windows user account and doesn't cost anything.
To get the most out of it you will want to ensure it automatically starts should your server automatically reboot for updates; although you can simple add a shortcut to your User's startup items, I prefer to use NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager) which you can use to start Freebyte Task Scheduler on system boot (without having to first login); to do this run NSSM from the command line with:
nssm install fbtaskscheduler
When the GUI appears, point the application path to your
FBTaskScheulder.exe binary and make sure the 'Log on' tab is configured with your user's account.
FastGlacier copies files to Amazon Glacier and provides a drag-and-drop Graphical User Interface and a straight forward command line interface. I use this to archive my photos and music library, both of which are irreplaceable.
In order to setup an automated backup, you first need to configure a backup set in the GUI. Once configured use the following command to automate the archive process in a
.bat file and schedule it with Freebyte Task Scheduler:
REM 's' => start sync without confirmation.
"C:\Program Files\FastGlacier\glacier-sync.exe" my-account-name D:\media\photos eu-west-1 my-backup-set/Pictures s
GMVault can be used to pull down the contents of your GMail so you have an offline copy should you (or someone else!) accidentally delete everything. Start GMVault for the first time to configure your oauth credentials and then use the following
.bat file to automate your backup and then schedule it with Freebyte Task Scheduler:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\gmvault\gmvault.bat sync [email protected] --type quick --db-dir D:\backup\gmvault\[email protected] --emails-only
GoogleMusicSync is a little python script I knocked up a few years back to pull down any new tracks I added to Google (Play) Music (either uploaded from the Web UI or purchased from the Play store) - I can then add these to my local library which is stored offline and archived to Amazon Glacier. This script can be automated using Freebyte Task Scheduler

First, to answer the main question: "what is a needle free injection and how does it work?"
The best and simple way is by saying that NFID is a drug delivery systems which work on a mechanism where liquid medication is forced into a tiny jet stream at high pressure. The medication injects itself at high speed directly through the skin without a physical instrument such as a needle needing to physically pierce the skin. The jet stream of the medication small and fast enough to break through the skin, creating a more comfortable experience.
Second important question is: "why use needle free and what for?"
The right answers are:
- The aim of modern needle-free drug delivery system is to enhance the prescribing and adoption of important drugs that require self-injection.
- Encourage taking life depending medication by children and people with needle phobia.
- Eliminating needle stick injuries both for doctors, nurses and the patients.
- Eliminating cross contamination, Needle-free injections takes the needle out of the equation and due to the high powered dosing mechanism, there is a little to no chance of cross contamination.
Needle-free injection devices (NFID) have been available for humans since the 1930s.
Needle-free injection devices can be divided into 2 types based on the source of power: 1.spring-powered. 2. compressed gas-powered. Spring-powered devices are compact and lower cost and have been primarily used for subcutaneous and self-administration of drugs, in 2014 intramuscular administration by spring powered needle free injectors been available after clinical studies proved flu vaccines made by CSL successfully administered. Gas-powered devices (jet injectors) have been primarily used for vaccine delivery, they have been designed to deliver larger volumes and their main disadvantage is its reliance on an exhaustible energy source, likelihood to bruise and mechanical failure. Studies have shown that most needle free injection systems can deliver the target molecule at a variety of tissue depths ranging from the dermis to the muscle depending on the force generated by the jet injector. In early days Jet injectors have been used in mass vaccination programs in people for smallpox, polio and Measles, the vast majority of vaccine trials in animals have used gas-powered jet injectors, most of the older devices used the multi-use syringe/nozzle to dose all the individuals; thereby causing potential safety hazards of transferring blood-borne pathogens between individuals. Most latest developed needle-free injection devices for animals also are equipped with non-disposable nozzle/syringes. New generation needle-free technology for people uses disposable single-dose cartridges eliminating re-use of the syringe by making them disposable with great emphasis on hygiene.
Over the last two decades, needle free injection devices manufacturers have come and gone, promoting both gas and spring operated injectors. Some are still around some focus on self-administration, some have suddenly stopped supplying due to reasons such as bankruptcy, product failure and some needle free devices manufacturer would only supply to pharmaceutical liquid drugs manufacturers exclusively in order to limit the use of needle free to their drugs.
This is our difference: The Comfort-in™ is here to stay, available directly to the public.

In a couple of weeks, ANIMA, an eight-piece classical chamber ensemble, is premiering one of my pieces. The performance will take place 42ft underground in the Brunel tunnel shaft in London. It is becoming almost the norm now for 'traditional' ensembles to present music in non-traditional, site-specific places. I recruited Lizzie Ball and Gabi Swallow, two classical musicians as comfortable inside the concert hall as out, to chat about this phenomenon.
Younger generations have a more open-minded attitude in general to concert-going which previous generations perhaps as a whole did not. For example, mixing genres of music up within one concert, pushing performance and musical boundaries, has become a little more mainstream in comparison to the earlier years of very traditional concerts with a large space between performer and audience, not only spatially but often communicatively. (Lizzie Ball)
Playing in established concert halls such as Purcell and Wigmore has its advantages. There is a sense of history for both performer and audience alike when you walk onto the stage. They are safe, and much that goes hand in hand with them is safe; audience demographic, working toilets...
Attendance at established concert halls is incredibly healthy but they are run by the establishment. Many artists are realising that creating your own opportunities, can include branching out to new venues. As performers this allows us the artistic freedom to find the right space to match the music and not the other way round. (Gabi Swallow)
Lizzie Ball presents Classical Kicks, classical music and artists interweaved with jazz, folk and world music at legendary Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Soho, which "was born out of a desire to show the cream of UK classical talent perform great music in a more down-to-earth environment."
I like to see audiences become more involved in what they watch and I think in this age of crowd funding and social media, it has changed the relationships between audience and musician to a slightly closer one. It encourages loyalty and following which in this day and age, within an industry losing money and funding and unable to support artists in the way it perhaps once did, are the most valuable assets a musician can have. (Lizzie Ball)
What these down-to-earth environments also often have going for them is that absolutely priceless element of newness, mystery & surprise. Admittedly too much is often sacrificed for this, especially where repertoire is concerned. It is relatively easy for example (with strong emphasis on the word relatively) for a composer to secure a one-off world premiere as compared to a second or third performance. But when it comes to location, "the more unusual the space, the more audiences connect, because their expectation is not yet known; when something is taken out of its usual context, it will always be more intriguing. Likewise for the performer!" (Lizzie Ball)
Before my (one-off) world premiere in the tunnel shaft, I am off to Essen in Germany to play at Denovali's Swingfest with my band Piano Interrupted. The venue is another amazing music 'conversion'- originally an industrial space turned to the arts. The Weststadthalle where the performances take place, was part of Alfried Krupp's steel empire. (As an historical aside, Krupp was a key supplier for the Nazi regime. And the Swing Kids, which provides the inspiration for the name Swingfest, was the name of the anti-Nazi youth movement in Germany.)
Being part of an experimental project lurking vaguely on classical music's fringes, I am lucky enough to play in these types of spaces and places quite regularly. It feels (admittedly partly as a result of the promoters that are attracted to them) as if they somehow draw a very open-minded type of concert goer. Indeed audiences can now factor these special locations into their ticket-buying choice, and this potentially creates a win-win situation for the performer-listener axis.
As an audience member now you have the choice as to whether you prefer to experience music in a traditional or non-traditional setting and as a performer you are hopefully then communicating to an audience that feels comfortable with their choice or are deliberately choosing to experience something new to them. (Gabi Swallow)
As old steel factories go, the Weststadthalle in Essen actually feels surprisingly intimate. But without doubt one of the challenges with these types of non-traditional spaces is how to make that magical connection with the audience.
Every concert has its uniqueness and varying size and setting can play a huge factor. Once I played some Xenaxis on a street in Barcelona in front of 2000 people. It was perhaps not the most intimate of settings but what made it intimate was that there were many people who would never have listened to anything so abstract before and they were one of the most quiet, attentive audiences I have ever played for. That is what makes performing so special; you are constantly surprised by the power of music. (Gabi Swallow)
Lizzie recalls a time in downtown Bogota, with piano trio, Classico Latino where they "arranged for a piano to be wheeled into the town square and started to play our own arrangements of Colombian folk music."
A large crowd gathered of such a mixture of people, office workers, lawyers, cleaners, you name it. At the end, a tramp came up to me and said in Spanish, that we had made the composers' music come alive. He knew the name and composer of each song we played and was clearly a highly educated man. It moved me to tears and reminded me that with music, you can connect with people on a level that is otherwise not so common. (Lizzie Ball)
Not surprisingly then 'location, location, location' is not such a compelling argument when it comes to music; "a really great musical performance should essentially be able to work anywhere." (Lizzie Ball) Or as Gabi puts it: "The audience and the performer sharing the music: that is the most important thing."
This is a fundamental truth, and the reason why we as performers strive so hard to communicate and connect.

It has been a tale of two teams when the Washington Nationals face the Philadelphia Phillies. Since 2005 the Nationals have laid claim to a miserable 40-74 record against the Phillies, and are only 10-30 against their NL East rivals since 2009. On Wednesday night in Philadelphia, the Nationals are hoping to put a winning mark in their column to begin to turn the tides.
Right hander Jason Marquis (3-0, 2.82 ERA) has gotten the call to the mound to face off against Vance Worley (1-0, 0.00 ERA). Marquis is coming off one of the best starts of his career, where he pitched a complete-game shutout against the defending World Champion San Francisco Giants, striking out seven and only giving up five hits. Marquis has had a quality start in each of his five games this season. Worley was called up to the Phillies on April 29 after starter Joe Blanton went on the disabled list, and in his first appearance of 2011, he went six innings and tallied the win against the New York Mets.
While the Nationals certainly have the pitcher to get the job done, it will come down to what the offense can produce against Worley. Washington will need more pop out of Jayson Werth, Adam LaRoche and Ian Desmond while leadoff hitter Danny Espinosa has to break out of his funk and get on base more consistently.
First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is at 7:05 p.m. EST.
Nationals Lineup
Danny Espinosa - 2B
Ian Desmond - SS
Jayson Werth - RF
Adam LaRoche - 1B
Wilson Ramos - C
Michael Morse - LF
Jerry Hairston Jr. - CF
Alex Cora - 3B
Jason Marquis - SP

The Worlds of the Bound (WotB) are a creation of the author's mind. In those xenofictional worlds, there are no humans, no Earth, and no Milky Way. Rather, the four space-faring worlds in this galaxy are populated by Iysh, Mengans, Aers, and Thurls.
Originally begun in 1999 as fan fiction for a popular science fiction television series, WotB has evolved into an internally consistent, epic tale that is an original work in its own right. It no longer has any association with any outside creations.

UofL's Faculty Senate convened last Wednesday on the HSC Campus, opening the meeting with a memorium statement for Dr. Susan Peacock, an instructor with the College of Education and Human Development, who passed away on Aug. 2. It was noted that Peacock was a repeated faculty favorite and held a number of leadership roles, including on the part-time faculty committee.
Senate committee elections were held, and an action item was approved to add a graduate certificate in biostatistics. All courses already exist as part of the master's program, so no additional resources are needed to launch the certificate program.
Chair Enid Trucios-Haynes presented highlights from the chair's report, which is available online in its entirety.
She noted her efforts urging board of trustees' chair David Grissom to advise the campus community about the planned framework for the presidential search process, which he has reported will be a closed search throughout the process. The BOT has received numerous responses to his proposal, including from faculty, chairs, deans and the AAUP.
The Faculty Senate Executive Committee also responded and, after a lengthy discussion, it was motioned and approved that the senate endorse the XC's letter, which reads:
Dear Members of the Board of Trustees,
The Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate is thoroughly opposed to the decision of the Board of Trustees to conduct a closed Presidential search. We feel that severely limiting the input from faculty and other constituents will damage the efforts to cultivate greater transparency, undermine the importance of shared governance, and negatively impact the future working relationship and trust between the faculty and senior leadership.
We believe that more input from constituents, particularly faculty, will assist the search committee throughout the process by providing important institutional history, and thus result in a better outcome. This more inclusive representation would also help restore the confidence of the University's donors. We urge the Board to reevaluate the search process, and open the search once finalists are selected, allowing faculty, staff and students to interact on campus with each of the finalists. We also strongly recommend that the search committee be expanded to include a broader representation of campus and community constituents, along with a robust engagement of the Redbook mandated faculty consultation committee.
Collaboration is essential to restoring the morale of the faculty, and greater collaboration will serve to unify the administration, students, staff and faculty so that we, the community of the University of Louisville, can focus on moving forward with our values, goals and initiatives.
The Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate & The Faculty Senate
Todd Mooradian, dean of the College of Business, was introduced to the Senate. He has been in the post for a little less than a year and provided some of his background, including his proximity to higher education throughout his entire life, growing up near the campus of the University of New Hampshire.
Mooradian outlined three of his priorities in the decanal role, including promotion of a culture of inclusiveness, innovation and efficiency.
"I want to the school to embrace and celebrate each individual and invest in their success wholeheartedly. We're also spending a lot of time thinking about value propositions so the community embraces us more," he said. "We're working hard to engage the community and finding ways to contribute to Louisville, Kentucky and the world. I am so pleased to be a part of an institution that gives students a public service opportunity."
Report: Interim president Dr. Greg Postel provided an update on a variety of issues, including SACS. Last week, SACS sent six visitors to campus to gauge UofL's progress in addressing the organization's concerns that initiated probationary accreditation status last year. Specifically, SACS representatives were looking at 10 issues and UofL was cleared on eight of them.
The two that remain a concern have to do with the university's affiliated entities and the qualification of administrators.
Postel said a memorandum of understanding is being created to define UofL's relationship with the UofL Real Estate Foundation. He added that many searches are underway for administrative positions and he hopes to name a few permanent positions soon to help with the second concern.
More information about the SACS visit is available here.
Postel noted that September marked UofL's biggest research month in the history of the institution, led by Dr. Roberto Bolli's $13.8 million grant from NIH to study a promising new heart failure treatment.
He pivoted to donor activity, which he described as "good, surprising," and noted that the Advancement Office is working on enhancing stewardship efforts and programmatic support.
Postel provided an update on UofL Hospital, describing it as "busy, busy, busy."
"The hospital is full. It hired 108 nurses in two months. Prior to July, it couldn't hire a nurse to save itself, so that just shows the kind of work UMC is doing," he said.
Postel discussed the budget, noting that 2016-17 is done and favorable. It will be available next week. The 2017-18 budget, meanwhile, is balanced, including the $48 million deficit.
"We're right on target in every category," he said. "I'm obsessed with finding new revenue streams. My biggest worry right now is how much education could be a victim to a decrease in state appropriations. It's not a matter of 'if,' it's a matter of 'how much.' But it's reason for us to get motivated to find ways to stand on our own," Postel said. "This is why we're focusing on priority setting and hosting open forums to get faculty and staff to help us understand our priorities."
Finally, Postel touched on the athletics scandals taking place, nothing the NCAA appeal for the prostitution scandal is in process and expected in mid-December. He said he is not optimistic because of the more recent FBI allegations against the men's basketball team.
"The real issue here is reputational. To see another hit is painful," he said. "There is nothing good about this (FBI) story. We are working very hard to stay current about the information as it comes in. The university is not a target in this, we are viewed as a victim. But that means we will have financial and reputational exposure again."
Postel said he received about 3,000 emails last week about this scandal via email.
"It's important to note that none of the decisions being made are personal. They're all being made to protect the university," he said.
Report: Interim Provost Dr. Dale Billingsley provided a brief update that will be available online soon. He mentioned the diversity plan is now available online and individual units will be required to work on their own plans soon. He also noted that there have been requests for more support for tuition revenue sharing plans for new programs and his office is working on getting a single template launched to tuition revenue sharing plans are transparent.
Report: Brian Bigelow, Title IX and ADA Coordinator, introduced himself to the Faculty Senate, having been in his position for the past 15 months. He provided an overview of what the university's responsibilities are in response to last month's changes to Title IX, introduced by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
"There are new regulations, but we don't know what they say yet and we don't know how long it will take for them to go into effect," he said. "In the meantime, it doesn't affect UofL specifically. We're in a holding pattern, but we're alert to changes coming down the pike."
Other reports are available online:
- Academic Programs
- Redbook and Bylaws
- Excecutive Committee
- Faculty Athletic Representative
- Presidential Search Faculty Consultation Committee
- UofL Chapter of AAUP
- Commission on Status of Women
The next Faculty Senate meeting is Nov. 1, 3-5 p.m. in Ekstrom Library's Chao Auditorium.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment
All Fields Required
Electronic Federal Tax Payment
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment system is an easy way for small business owners to pay federal taxes online or by telephone. It is a service provided free of charge by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to businesses, individuals, and other federal tax agencies.
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment system has been used by the U.S. Federal Treasury since 1996 to help small business owners file their taxes in a more efficient, cost effective, and secure manner. The system has since evolved into a very convenient option for small business owners to pay their federal taxes.
Because it is provided electronically, the service is available online or by telephone at any time, day or night, proving to be far more convenient than regular snail mail. The EFTP offers an easily accessible, step-by-step process that even those who are less Internet savvy than others can use without trouble.
The EFTP system also effectively removes the risk of tax forms being lost in the mail or arriving late.
Pay Taxes Online:
Federal taxes may be paid through the EFTP system online at EFTPS.gov. To set up a business account for online payments, visit www.eftps.gov. Have a Taxpayer ID Number, which is either the Employer ID Number or a Social Security Number for individuals; financial institution information, including routing number, and the account number; and the name and address of the taxpayer as they appear on the business' IRS documents.
You will then be sent a PIN through the mail — it should arrive within seven business days. Upon receipt, return to the EFTPS.gov website, insert the PIN as well as your own online password, and begin setting up payments.
Pay Taxes By Phone:
For those who prefer the telephone, taxes may also be paid by calling the automated voice response system at 888.434.7338.
Only one enrollment session is required. After you are registered, you may use the system by phone or online interchangeably.
Payments will be deducted automatically from the account provided on the date selected, without hassle. Payments can be made up to 120 days ahead of schedule, ensuring that no taxes are ever forgotten. Plus, the system ensures that your banking information is always safe, without fail. You initiate every payment when it is most convenient for you.
Paying federal taxes electronically is an easy, convenient way to ensure that your business' taxes are never late or stressful.

First new A321LR to enter SAS fleet
The first of three new A321LRs, a narrow-bodied aircraft suited for longer distances, will enter service in the SAS fleet on September 18, 2020. The new aircraft is equipped with a service concept with three travel classes, like the rest of SAS' long-haul fleet, and will increase SAS' flexibility to meet Scandinavian travel patterns. The new aircraft, part of SAS' ongoing fleet renewal will reduce climate-impacting emissions in comparison to previous generations of similar aircraft.
The Airbus A321LR is a narrow-body, single aisle aircraft, specially configured to fly longer distances than a standard A321neo. The smaller aircraft gives SAS the opportunity to fill the aircraft on new routes and will be a welcome addition to the SAS long haul fleet. The A321LR will increase the SAS' flexibility to adjust to changes in the demand for new routes and destinations.
"This is an entirely new aircraft type for SAS, which is incredibly well suited to the Scandinavian market and emerging travel patterns to and from the region. It gives SAS an opportunity to offer travelers more intercontinental routes, fewer stopovers and shorter travel times to and from Scandinavia. The new aircraft is equipped with a service concept at par with the rest of SAS' long-haul fleet, offering passengers all the benefits, level of comfort and choices of our traveling classes," says Karl Sandlund, EVP & Chief Commercial Officer.
The A321LR is part of the latest generation of aircraft and is expected to reduce climate-impacting emissions by around the same amount as when SAS introduced the A320neo, whose carbon footprint is approximately 15-18 percent smaller than an equivalent size aircraft from the previous generation.
"Reducing the carbon footprint in the airline industry is crucial and SAS aims to lead the way toward sustainable travel. We have set a target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent by 2030. The ongoing fleet renewal, including new long-haul aircraft, is an investment toward more sustainable aviation," continues Sandlund.
The aircraft has 22 Business, 12 Plus and 123 Go, meaning a total of 157 seats in a single aisle aircraft. The seats are especially chosen for the A321LR to optimize the comfort in all three travel classes to meet the expectations of frequent travelers. Seats in SAS Business are fully flat seat beds and there are different mood light scenarios in the cabins, as well as Hi-speed Wi-Fi. Every seat is equipped with IFE screens, PC-power and/or Hi-power USB. The reduced noise level inside the cabin will further enhance the travel experience onboard.
The first A321LR will enter service on September 18, 2020. The first route the A321LR will operate on be Copenhagen-Boston. This means that the route will become a year-round destination served on a high frequency basis and will further strengthen SAS' offering to the North Americas. Sales will start on November 20, 2019.
New routes will gradually be communicated later in 2020. The aircraft has enough range to reach northeast US, but it can also reach destinations in Canada, the Middle East and India from Scandinavia.

Floral Styling with Appleyard London
With Chelsea Flower Show well underway and inspiring showcases of flowers on display, we turn to Appleyard London's head florist Lauren Probert, to share her expertise on how she would add the finishing floral touch to each of these four home styles, featuring Whistlefish artwork. Plus, Lauren shares bitezie top tips on what you should consider when styling your home with both art and flowers.
St Ives
For this St Ives interior I would pair our bouquet of English scented stocks, the simple single line design of the bouquet accents the simple interior. Choosing a one type stem bouquet in a variety of hues or purple and lilac blends beautifully with the seaside tote and Hannah Cole painting and adds a wonderful scent to the room.
Floral top tips:
- choose simple single line designed bouquet
- hews of purple/lilac to blend with interior
- scented flowers would add a lovely welcome
The cool blue hues of this interior pair perfectly with our Bluebelle bouquet, the blue Agapanthus stems blend harmoniously with the decor and the avalanche roses match the purity of the white walls. Lilies within the Bluebelle bouquet will give off a luscious scent that with blend with the sea air to create a calm and relaxing environment.
Floral top tips:
- add blue agapanthus to compliment cool blue hues of the interior
- lilies are great for a touch of scent
- avalanche roses will match the purity of white walls
To accent the cool oatmeal interior of this room I would choose our Peony Meadow bouquet. The blend of cafe germini and lemon freesia would complement the soft yellow and nude hues within the room. The peonies will add a beautiful summer scent while the miss piggy roses bring out the morning dawn within this sunset painting by Iris Clelford.
Floral top tips:
- blend cafe germini and lemon freesia to compliment soft yellow and cool oatmeal interiors
- add peonies for scent
- miss piggy roses will bring out the morning dawn in the beautiful painting
For the dining room I believe our Lemon Garden Rose bouquet would be a beautiful addition. The veronica & tanacetum single vegmo mirror the beach style interior whilst the greenbell accentuates a seagrass vibe. Our bright lemon garden rose adds an english garden feel and brings out the yellow accents within the simple decor.
Floral top tips:
- Veronica & tanacetum single vegmo to mirror the beach style of interior
- Roses to give that English garden feel
- Green bell for that Seagrass vibe

"Vote on a post, not the user."
... is the central theme and guidance of the SE communities while encouraging the voting. However it might be neglected by some users when a particular community matures and its users know each other to an extent. In my opinion there are many instances of target [up/down]voting due to this feature.
Question: Why should a username of the author be shown with their reputation & badges, when it serves little purpose to the post?
Add-on request: Show username to the voter only once their vote is locked. May be mods should also see the flag bearer, once they process that flag.
Clarification: This question is not intended to snatch away the public display of the reputation-badges of the users. Rather it should be judiciously displayed to avoid the influenced voting. That's the reason for adding "feature-request" as well.
As many answers suggest that, users get motivation to participate due to reputation. If so, then above feature may likely encourage more voting on the posts to un-hide the user accounts for the curious users.

Most of the time, when you hear a commentator give the edge to a certain football team because he thinks "they just want it more," you're looking at a guy who doesn't actually know anything about either team and is just looking for something to say. When bowl season rolls around, though, "wanting it" takes on actual significance. In any given bowl you've got two teams who probably don't play each other much, they've had a month off since the regular season ended, and their so-called "reward" might or might not be as good as what they were shooting for when the season started. And when one team is significantly less excited to be there than the other, that's when big bowl upsets happen.
I call this the "K-State Effect" based on what happened to the Kansas State Wildcats in 1998. The Wildcats, formerly one of the doormattiest doormats in college football history, streaked to an 11-0 regular-season record and went into the Big XII championship game ranked No. 1 in the nation -- only to lose to Texas A&M in double OT. Because the once-downtrodden 'Cats had been to so few bowl games, nobody was sure their fans would travel, so K-State was passed over by bowl after bowl until they ended up in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29. The bummed-out Wildcats came out flat, and the unranked Purdue Boilermakers, led by some sophomore named Drew Brees, pulled off the stunner of the bowl season by beating KSU 37-34.
This pattern has popped up at least a few times in every bowl season, so I thought I'd go through the SEC's bowl games to see if any SEC teams or their opponents might be vulnerable to the K-State Effect in 2011. And I've assigned a "K-State Factor" to each game, not as a prediction of who'll win but as an estimate of how much the motivation edge will be worth in terms of points.
Music City Bowl (Mississippi State vs. Wake Forest, 6:40 p.m. Friday): Both MSU and Wake used to be conference doormats, so you'd think a bowl of any kind would be a big deal for them. The difference is that Wake is coming off a 3-9 season and had no expectations coming into 2011, whereas State went 9-4 last year and led fans to think they'd finally turned the corner under Dan Mullen. Edge: Wake Forest (K-State Factor: 4 points)
Liberty Bowl (Vanderbilt vs. Cincinnati, 3:30 p.m. Saturday): This one's not even close -- Cincinnati won a share of the Big East title this year yet somehow managed to end up in a bowl to which their conference doesn't even have an official tie-in; Vandy, meanwhile, has already completely bought into James Franklin's system and looks like the kind of team that would play their tails off even if this were an exhibition game against a D-II program. Edge: Vanderbilt (K-State Factor: 10 points)
Chick-fil-A Bowl (Auburn vs. Virginia, 7:30 p.m. Saturday): About a year ago, the Tigers were preparing to have national championship rings fitted. Now they're 7-5, the star running back who was their offensive MVP in the title game has been suspended, and both their coordinators have bolted for jobs at non-BCS-conference schools. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are in a bowl for the first time in four years. Last year's national championship notwithstanding, which fan base do you think is having more fun right now? Edge: Virginia (K-State Factor: 8 points)
Outback Bowl (Georgia vs. Michigan State, 1 p.m. Monday): Both contestants lost their conference championship games, which could lead to a general sense of malaise on both sidelines. Georgia, though, still bounced back from an 0-2 start to save their coach's job; only the most blinkered Bulldog fan would call this a disappointing season. The Spartans came into 2011 aiming for the Rose Bowl but lost their chance on the ticky-tackiest of penalties in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin. Edge: Georgia (K-State Factor: 3 points)
Capital One Bowl (South Carolina vs. Nebraska, 1 p.m. Monday): The Gamecocks may still be fuming that Georgia snaked their slot in the SEC title game, but this has still been probably the best season in program history. That's obviously not the case for the Cornhuskers, who fell from "shot at the Rose Bowl" to "third in their division" in the span of less than a month late in the season. Edge: South Carolina (K-State Factor: 2.5 points)
Gator Bowl (Florida vs. Ohio State, 1 p.m. Monday): It's safe to say that neither the Gators nor the Buckeyes are setting their Facebook walls ablaze with status updates about how excited they are to be playing in a bowl that has "TaxSlayer.com" as the title sponsor. (Hell, I couldn't tell you what TaxSlayer.com is if you put a gun to my head.) But the Buckeyes at least have a resurgence under Urban Meyer to look forward to, plus their juniors and seniors know this is their last bowl shot with NCAA sanctions kicking in next season. There's very little for Gator fans to get excited about right now, unless finally being rid of Charlie Weis counts. Edge: Ohio State (2.5 points)
Cotton Bowl (Arkansas vs. Kansas State, 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6): Both teams are ranked in the top 10, which means both are probably just a wee bit bummed to not be playing in BCS bowls. But whereas upper-tier bowl games (not to mention playing in Cowboys Stadium) have become old hat for the Razorbacks under Bobby Petrino, the Wildcats came out of nowhere in 2011 to claim their first January bowl bid in eight years -- meaning the K-State Effect might actually work in the Wildcats' favor this time. Edge: Kansas State (6.5 points)
BCS National Championship Game (LSU vs. Alabama, 8:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9): Hey, it's the national title game. If you have to worry about whether your team is motivated, you probably don't deserve to have a football program at all. But Alabama has the added motivation of seeking revenge against a team that squeaked by them in their own stadium a couple months ago. Which is not to say that LSU won't be fired up to claim their third national championship in the BCS era, but we all know Nick Saban neither forgets nor forgives. Edge: Alabama (3.5 points)

#ThemeBuilding LA Airport
The appearance of the building as a single homogenous structure is a cleverly constructed illusion. The building's two crossed arches actually consist of four steel-reinforced concrete legs that extend approximately 15' above the ground, and a hollow, stucco-covered steel truss constituting the remaining lower arches and entire upper arches. To avoid changing the appearance of the structure with overt reinforcement, the Theme Building was retrofitted with a tuned mass damper to counteract earthquake movements. #WilliamPereira #architecture 1961

Art room floor
14 comments:
Thanks for the tip, and the demonstration! Our floors are recently refinished, but I'm going to keep this in mind to give them a little refresher in the future.ReplyDelete
Also, thanks for the comment on my blog!
We have banged up floors, and I've been using Orange Glo - its ok. I was thinking about changing products, I'll have to buy a bottle of Bona! the last thing our wood floors need is residue - ick!ReplyDelete
We just got our floors put in and I used the Bona cleaner last night! Love it! Glad that it comes so highly reccomendes too, and thanks for the BB&B tip. I was wondering where to get my refills.ReplyDelete
bummer, all that work....ReplyDelete
welp, at least your floors are clean!
thanks for the product review, this stuff sounds great!
The floors look REALLY clean. I use a dot of Joy soap in hot water to clean my wood floors. They feel so smooth afterwards.ReplyDelete
I've never used the Bona cleaner but am so glad for the tip! I'll be trying this out next time.ReplyDelete
I can see a LITTLE difference in the side-by-side! It looks a little richer and warmer now.ReplyDelete
We just have hardwood floors in our dining room and kitchen, but I've been searching for a good cleaner. I'll have to try this Bona stuff!
My wood floors are sooooo sad right now. And I've been waiting for after the kitchen reno (this March!) so my nicely refinished floors aren't damaged during all the construction. The refresher probably wouldn't do anything for my floors as they currently are either. It's good to know that exists though, and good to hear a good recommendation for a wood floor cleaner as I'm pretty clueless!ReplyDelete
My mom uses this stuff on her laminate floors and loves it. I haven't tried it. We use the Orbiter by Oreck. They have a wood floor cleaner and a wax also. My floors are like yours and I will say, it does work well, but it's a bit more expensive.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 12, 2010 at 7:41 AM
Thanks for these tips! I think I'm going to try this product out as soon as we finish painting the walls in the den and dining room! Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
There is a little difference in the side by side comparison so all that work was not wasted. Thanks for the Bona tip....I have tried so many cleaners for our hardwoods and have not been satisfied. I am going to have to try that one.ReplyDelete
Great work. You can tell the difference and now you have a really clean floor. ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 26, 2010 at 8:35 AM
Keep posting stuff like this i really like itReplyDelete
I am sitting here waiting for Bona Refresher to dry. First coat on. First time trying the stuff. Read very good reviews.ReplyDelete
While waiting, decided to kill time and do a search on photos if anyone post results.
Sure enough you did.
Loved your pictures and story to go along with it.
Let me tell what I did first.
I watched on youtube how to apply the Bona Refresher.
Went on my hands and knees and scrubbed the baseboards. Then vacuumed 3 times. After I cleaned the floors twice with two different cleaners and then used my Shark steam floor cleaner. Went back over with a dust mop. Waited a while to make sure the floors were dry. Then I applied the Bona Refresher with the microfiber applicator pad.
It was very easy to apply.

Making the move...
Made the move! Head over to my new blog at Wordpress -- it's a work-in-progress: The Audrey Project
I love dim sum. It's one of the few Chinese dishes (technically, it's an entire meal) that I can't live without. I remember being a kid that absolutely hated the fact that my dad would drag me out of bed on a weekend morning to have go "yum cha" (literally means to drink tea) with my grandfather who's daily morning ritual involved going to Tai Tong, a Chinese restaurant for dim sum. As much as I hated giving up my precious weekend sleep-ins, my crabbyness would usually be traded in for a hot, steaming, basket of shrimp dumplings "har gow" and BBQ pork buns "char siew pau."
I'm a picky eater and one that wants to try a little of everything. And dim sum lets me do just that. Tapas doesn't really do it for me because I still find their portions slightly too big. Dim sum is perfect. Even the name is perfect. "Dim sum" I believe means to touch the heart, but in my head, it means little parcels of goodness that make you go mmmmm!
I've had some of the best dim sum in San Francisco (Koi Palace!) and Hong Kong (Lei Garden, Maxim) and always on the look out for more. Everyone has a favorite dim sum dish. For me, it's tough picking one, so I always tell people that I'll eat anything with shrimp it it (any steamed dumplings with shrimp or crab, deep fried shrimp in beancurd skin, steamed shrimp rice roll "cheung fun"), followed by BBQ pork "char siew" (steamed BBQ pork bun, baked BBQ pork pastry "char siew soh"). For dessert, one way to tell the quality of the dim sum chef is the steamed custard bun or "lai wong pau" or "lau sar pau" which is custard with yolk. Also, nothing beats a warm egg tart "dan tat."
Best way to eat dim sum is a with a big group of friends, so you can have everything on the menu! So whether you're new to dim sum or a dim sum veteran, check out The Essential Guide to Dim Sum -- lots of photos and even how to pronounce the dishes in Cantonese and Mandarin!
Last day, last day! I still can't believe that I made it this so far. The good news is, although I'm not supposed to have any meat today, I found out that (a) I can have some chicken and (b) I can have fish because iti doesn't affect the diet.
The diet plan recommends starting the day with brown rice, which looking back, I wish I did. I only had a fruit salad with coffee for breakfast, followed by a bowl of soup for lunch. The problem with that is that by 4:30pm, I was starving -- like hands shaking, lightheaded starving. Unfortunately, we were also doing a grocery run at the Asian supermarket at Irving Street, which only has bubble tea shops! Never knew how difficult it was to eat healthy until I had to go searching for a snack here. I was hoping to find herbal tea eggs but ended up sharing a portion of salt and pepper chicken with the boyf instead. This was probably my only slip-up this week, resorting to eating fried chicken pieces -- sigh, that's what hunger does to you.
I felt really gross and fat after the chicken, so decided to have healthy dinner instead. I had brown rice with vegetables and seared ahi tuna. So good I wished I had it for lunch instead! Never knew brown rice would be so satisfying!
So what's my verdict on the GM Diet?
It's a tough diet. It may not sound tough and 7 days may not sound that long if you've never tried it, but be prepared for a week like no other. Be prepared to go to sleep hungry, have out-of-control cravings for chocolate, desserts, grilled meat and eggs (at least I craved for everything mentioned!) and be prepared to feel lethargic and lightheaded, especially the first 2-3 days. Physically, Day 2 was the toughest because I was tired, hungry and lightheaded. Mentally, near the end of Day 6 was the most difficult for me because I didn't have anything sweet for 2 straight days and my craving for a Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups was totally out of control.
But I do have to admit that I did feel really good during the week. I felt lighter, slimmer and more active. I wanted to go out and do stuff. I've also learnt that some things were easy to give up, like sugar in my coffee.
Would I do the GM Diet again? Probably not. But I would definitely try a clean/detox diet the next time round. Feels good to know that the body can feel this good just by controling what you eat.

Peanuts are one of the natural foods that people like. These dried fruits can be eaten either as a snack or incorporated in different recipes of Oriental and Mediterranean foods. They are also used in healthy salads in fried or roasted form. The Nutrition value of peanuts is great, it has more protein and fat content than meat and eggs. Hence, in some nutritionists call it "plant meat." Peanuts also have some medicinal value and healthcare properties, so they are called "longevity fruit" by the ancients.
Peanuts also contain a lot of fat, the most fat is the content of oleic acid, followed by linoleic acid and palmitic acid. In addition to fat, peanuts are also rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, including; vitamin B1, B2, B6 & E, with high contents of potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc. It also contains a lot of polyphenols resveratrol. All these nutrients make peanuts a valuable natural produce.
Nearly half the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids is oleic acid. Oleic acid lowers total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood and slightly increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. With the role of sterols in vegetable oil, for the regulation of blood cholesterol have a good effect. In addition, oleic acid is the most stable fatty acid in unsaturated fatty acids, it is not easily oxidized into a foreign matter in the blood, which is very good for prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Peanuts contain a variety of proteins, eight kinds of essential amino acids in addition to a small amount of lysine, the other several amino acids are very rich. Proteins are part of the internal organs and muscles and are indispensable to life.
Peanut is rich in B vitamins, including niacin to reduce very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), controls low-density lipoprotein (LDL) production, inhibition of fat hydrolysis, reduce plasma levels of free fatty acids, improve blood circulation and prevent fat Liver and enhances insulin function. Folic acid in peanuts is also present in a bigger quantity which has the effect of preventing neonatal malformations. Choline in peanuts and lecithin, saponin, etc. can promote fat metabolism, the treatment, and prevention of fatty liver.
Vitamin E in peanuts helps blood circulation, prevents aging, improves memory, improves delayed brain function and moisturizes skin.
Peanut also contains highly bio-active polyphenols – resveratrol, this substance has the effect of reducing platelet aggregation, prevention, and treatment of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; In addition, this substance is an anti-cancer expert.
In addition, peanuts are also suitable for sick emptiness, recovery of diabetic patients, women during pregnancy and postpartum eating, peanuts have a good effect of nourishing in all these situations.
Because peanut is one of the most important oil crops, some doctors and nutritionists pay attention to the fat and calories in peanuts and calculate that 15 peanuts equal 10 grams of oil, emphasizing that peanut has the function of increasing fertilizer. According to the author for Online assignment help UK, one-sided attention to peanuts for its fat and calories, while ignoring the comprehensive nutrition of peanut is wrong. In expert nutritionist's point of view, people who eat peanuts are not necessarily obese, but not those who eat peanuts may not be thin. One of the reasons may be related to the amount of consumption. Another reason is that eating peanuts will reduce animal food intake like; eggs and meat, while also slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates to minimize the causes of obesity. Therefore, if properly incorporated into the diet, eating peanuts will not only decrease health problems but also play a role in controlling obesity.

Dynata's Global Consumer Trends research series leverages our global scale and rich first-party data asset to explore and illuminate the emerging attitudes and opinions behind consumer behaviors and trends. Using responses to more than 11,000 consumers across 11 countries, the reports dive deep into the changing and evolving factors driving economic and social change around the world.
Global Consumer Trends: The Urgent Fight Against Climate Change explores the opinions and attitudes of consumers around the world on the fight against climate change, and the actions they want governments and businesses to take in response to this pressing threat. For many consumers, COP26 and other global climate conferences featuring government and business leaders are seen as a necessity if the world is to effectively fight climate change. Consumers increase the measures in their own lives by recycling or composting, purchasing and installing energy efficient appliances and systems in their homes, seeking out and buying environmentally friendly products and services to do their part in the fight against climate change. But is this enough and if not, what meaningful actions can governments, businesses and individuals should take in response to the urgent climate change threat? The stakes in the climate change fight are high, and the clock is ticking to act. As Alok Sharma, president of the 26th U.N. Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) said, "The decisions we make [on climate change] in the next years and the actions we take by 2030 are basically going to set the trajectory for future generations."Download Report
Countries need to come together to act and hold one another accountable
Belief in climate change is high, and many think it is affecting the world at large already
Governments are best positioned to respond to climate change, joining with businesses and individuals
Businesses should invest in clean energy and sustainable practices, while consumers can make a difference at home
There has been a marked turn towards open conversations on racial equality, gender and sexual identity, and a greater awareness of what makes each of us unique and valued, elevating the dialogue on diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) around the world. DEI is now a presence in the global workplace as well, bringing awareness to the role it can play in the growth and success of organizations. As more organizations commit to understanding and measuring that impact, setting metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) that can help ensure the desired benefits of DEI can be realized, Dynata's Global Consumer Trends: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace report explores the attitudes and opinions of employees and employers on the desired effects and realities of DEI and how organizations can chart a path forward toward making DEI a core part of their workplace experience.Download report
Dynata's newest report– Global Consumer Trends: New Lives in a New World – explores the changes to the way we live, work, spend and travel since the pandemic started. Have our priorities shifted? What changes do we want to keep in our working lives? And when – and how – are people planning to return to vacations and travel for business and/or for pleasure? Discover which consumer behaviors and attitudes are likely to return to pre-COVID levels and which are now permanent parts of our new lives.Download Report
Global Consumer Trends: The Green Economy explores the growing economy surrounding green and renewable energy, and how consumers view the role that they and their country's government can play in that new economy. Setting aside belief in climate change, it's clear that the emergent Green Economy will be driven by the decisions consumers make to understand and adopt green energy/renewable energy choices into their daily lives, offering a glimpse into future economic growth and job creation and reflecting the opportunities and priorities of governments, brands and individuals as they wrestle with climate change and their own response to it. Global Consumer Trends: The Green Economy investigates the behaviors and motivations of consumers through the lens of current and future individual purchasing decisions, as well as larger questions around governmental incentivization and regulation.Download Report
Global Consumer Trends: The Health Edition, uses the presence of the vaccine to check in with more than 11,000 consumers from 11 countries to gauge their feelings about the vaccine, where and when it will be available, to whom; what could help encourage them to get vaccinated; and whether they believe the vaccine can lead to the end of the pandemic and a return to "normal." Included in this report is an exploration of the current state of our personal well-being and changes to – and new habits of – our physical and emotional wellness. Lastly, the report examines healthcare access and availability during the pandemic, including the use of telemedicine as an option for healthcare.Download Report

When most people say "Coming Out", they're thinking of telling
someone that they are gay, bi, whatever they are. This is not something
I've ever done. I've never announced my sexuality to another person.
Anyone who is aware of my sexuality knows because either they've seen
this web page, it's come up in passing, they've directly asked me, or
they found out when I introduced them to an ex girlfriend. In reality I
treat my sexuality as just another part of being me... like the fact
that I play the piano. I don't really care who knows about it and who
I didn't write this page to come out to the world. I wrote it to
help others come out. To help them feel more comfortable about
themselves. To help dispel the fear that goes with learning something
new about yourself. So I have formed this page, first with my story,
then a few others... until it has finally turned into something of which
I am very proud: a good-sized collection of coming out stories of all
types, both positive and negative (but fortunately mostly positive), as
well as a lengthy list of resources.
Enjoy yourself. I know I did. I'm very glad I can have this here
for you today.
Feel free to visit my personal web site as well.

This is a Banksy print (or more likely a Banksy-style print), which humorously depicts a line of people queued up to overpay for a t-shirt with the phrase "Destroy Capitalism" printed on it.
For reasons surpassing understanding, this print is for sale from Walmart, for a very affordable $76. It is often difficult to believe this world is real, and yet, here we are:

Han Dynasty Unit Terminology and Reference
wolflance posted a topic in Rise of the EastDig up from Han Dynasty ancient text. Generic Term fù nǚ (妇女) Woman shāng rén (商人) Trader rú shēng (儒生) Confucian Scholar dào shi (道士) Taoist (I will exclude Buddhists atm because they spread to China during Eastern Han) bù zú (步卒) Infantry qīng qí (轻骑) Light Cavalry tū qí (突骑) Shock Cavalry jiàn shì (剑士)Swordsman. The term shì '士' might implies these are not your run-of-the-mill everyday sword infantry though. jiá shì (甲士) generic term for 'armored infantryman' jiá qí (甲骑) generic term for 'armored cavalryman' Border Army tún tián bīng (屯田兵)frontier guard - settler. Think Late Roman Limitanei. shù zú (戍卒)generic term for 'border guard' tíng zú (亭卒)generic term for 'watchtower sentry' biān qí (边骑) generic term for 'border cavalry' Provincial Army jùn guó bīng (郡国兵)Provincial Army under a system of mandatory service. cái guān (材官)Provincial army infantry or infantry officer. The meaning isn't very clear. qí shì (骑士)Provincial army cavalry or cavalry officer. Meaning isn't clear either. qīng chē (轻车)Provincial army chariot/charioteer. lóu chuán shì (楼船士)Provincial army navy/naval officer. jī shè shì (积/迹射士)Infantry archer/ranger The combined strength of the Border and Provincial Army are 250000 (high estimates), during the Reign of Wu Di this can be as high as 800000 (also high estimates). Imperial Northern Army / Standing Army běi jūn (北军)Northen Army guarding the Capital city of Chang'an, also Han Dynasty's standing army. Divided into seven or eight divisions. They numbered around 5000 ~ 30000. qí shì (骑士)also found among the ranks of the Northern Army. They are under the leadership of tún qí xiào wèi(屯骑校尉). shàng lín yuàn mén tún bīng (上林苑门屯兵)infantry garrison of the royal forest gate. Under the leadership of bù bīng xiào wèi(步兵校尉). hú jì(胡骑)literally "Northen Barbarian Cavalry". It is unclear whether they are subjugated Xiongnu people under Han employment, or people with mixed Chinese and Hú descent, or simply elite cavalry riding foreign horses (received as tribute). They are under the leadership of cháng shuǐ xiào wèi (长水校尉) and hú jì xiào wèi (胡骑校尉), depending on the area of garrison. yuè qí (越骑)literally "Southern Barbarian Cavalry". Also disputed, because the Yuè barbarians from Southern China had the reputation of being terrible horsemen. Some Jin Dynasty historians suggested that it could means something like "Strong Cavalry". They are under the leadership of yuè qí xiào wèi (越骑校尉) shè shēng shì (射声士)Elite archer. Unclear whether bow or crossbow, or mounted or on foot. They are under the leadership of shè shēng xiào wèi(射声校尉) qīng chē (轻车)Chariots. They are under the leadership of hǔ bēn xiào wèi(虎贲校尉). This is an 'in name only' unit, as chariots were phased out. All divisions are under the command of a commander, called zhōng lěi xiào wèi (中垒校尉) Imperial Southern Army / Palace Guard nán jūn (南军)Southern Army guarding the palace. The most elite but least numerous of the bunch, only numbered around 2000. qī mén (期门) The Qi Men Guard. Later renamed to hǔ bēn (虎贲) yǔ lín (羽林)The Yu Lin Guard, or Feather Forest Guard. yǔ lín gū ér (羽林孤儿) Orphans of deceased military officers that were absorbed/recruited into the Yu Lin Guard. *It seems that both divisions of the Imperial Palace Guard were renowned horse archers. It is logical to assume that they were trained in other weapons though. Volunteer Army yǒng gǎn shì (勇敢士) meaning 'brave man'. cì fēi (佽飞)named after one famous swordsman during Spring and Autumn period. Details unknown. bēn mìng (奔命) kàng jiàn (伉健)Meaning "Strong (Physically fit) man". The text implies these are horse archers. **Although many different fancy names, these are basically volunteer (likely paid) army raised for a large campaign or during emergency. Most likely drawn from ex-Provincial army personnel currently not on active service. Penal Military Unit chí xíng (弛刑)- criminals. qī kē zhé (七科谪)- criminals of the seven (type of) laws. These are generally petty crimes like "being a merchant". è shào nián (恶少年)- literally "Bad Youngster" yìng mù zuì rén (应募罪人) - Criminal 'Volunteer' . More often they are pressed into service. ***Also many fancy names, but in essence no much difference. These are not specific term, but generic ones. Auxiliary qiāng qí (羌骑)- Auxiliary cavalry of the subjugated qiāng tribes. Unlike the confusing hú and yuè cavalry, these are auxiliary instead of standing army. ****There are other auxiliary unit(s), so this list is incomplete. Misc. juě zhāng shì (厥张士)- Han Dynasty term for 'Crossbowman' but implying elite ones. No other context are given though. These are administrative divisions. During wartimes the army will be organized based on numbers, and honorable titles will be given to whoever in charge.

Andy Samberg in Ski Retreat (SNL skit)
A ski bunny tries to turn up the heat.
Charles Barkley ... Mr. Jergs
Will Forte ... guy
Andy Samberg ... guy
Jenny Slate ... Gretchen
Kenan Thompson ... guy
Kristen Wiig ... Shana
Andy and the dudes support Kristen's Shana character. This is Kristen's second Shana skit.
First: 12.06.2008 with John Malkovich. Casey Wilson played Jenny's role (different characters though). The three dudes (Will, Kenan, and Andy) were the same. Jimmy Fallon had Kristen on his show and told her that the Shana character was his favorite one she did.
2 comments:
I'm glad she did something she hasn't done in quite some time. But now I've really seen shanna.... I mean honestly... it was the exact same sketch with other clothes and location, they can't do that again.
I hope she noticed that she gave us a bit of the same too many times in a row. Maybe she could create a brandnew caracter that doesn't have anything to do with her other crazy characters like dounise or the target lady.

Unfortunately, Kristen's first Shana skit isn't online. Honestly, I'd like to see the SNL players team up more on characters like Will Ferrell and his class did.

It looks to me as if Filemaker Pro on the MAC does have an ODBC interface. You can find out more about it here.
At that point your Filemaker Pro has become an ODBC datasource. Perl won't care very much that it is Filemaker Pro and should treat it like any other ODBC source.
I am not sure what the best way is to access ODBC from Perl. However, CPAN has some modules. DBD::ODBC available here looks like a promising candidate, but there may be better ways.

Bullet, the Manager for the most-talked-about female act in Ghana now, Ebony – is on a mission, a move to propel his artist and to also defend her brand and cause, no matter what, and Frema Ashkar, Manager for highlife act, Kwabena Kwabena, is the latest to catch the defense missiles.
Speaking to Prince Tsegah on Hitz FM and monitored by www.entertainmentgh.com, Bullet gave quite a scathing response to remarks passed by Frema, who is also the host of 'Good Morning Ghana' show on Metro TV.
Frema stated on her show some days ago; "As a musician, everybody is a competitor and so we are going to be marking you along those lines…she came up with a couple of songs Sponsor and the other one well which I think she was doing so well…personally, I was expected her to grow but she is not being creative she is not growing…A mean!.. in communication where you place your punctuation marks can change the whole meaning of your sentence and so when you keep the breaks you can not tell me you not saying other things."
She had more words for Ebony; "Sex sells but beyond that then what?…let's us see the substance in you…the quality in you …you came out with that— is that all we are going to be having? Quite honestly we are tired of that."
In his rebuttal, Bullet stated that Frema has no moral right to offer any advice or suggestion to the brand and music of his artist. He stated that, Kwabena Kwabena, who is managed by Frema, is one of the most profane acts in Ghana and Frema should rather work on her artist first.
Bullet even went on to mention some of the songs by Kwabena Kwabena which he feels, have profane lyrics including songs like 'Adult Music', 'Tuamuda' ' Siwagegem' and others.
He also had an advice for Frema; to deal with her artist first, before coming out to proffer and suggestion to the Ebony brand
