When considering ability to pay for college, the annual cost is often discussed but it's the "all in" multi-year degree cost which matters in the end. Let's take a look at what it could really cost for four years at Career Point College.
At the current published rates, an estimated total tuition, fees and living expense price for a 4 year bachelor's degree at Career Point College is $124,040 for students graduating in normal time. This methodology for estimating the 4 year cost is a straight multiple of the most recent reported annual total cost and does not factor in tuition increases during the time you're in school. It also assumes you receive no grant or scholarship aid and pay the full list price.
A potentially more accurate but less conservative estimate of a degree cost can be made by using the school's annual $21,430 in-state net price as the basis. Applying this cost over 4 would estimate the cost of a degree at $85,720**
If you end up on the "five year plan" and need an additional year to graduate, your five year cost could be as high as $155,050 or $107,150 using an average net price.
**Based on a 4 year multiple of Average Annual Net Price for students receiving grant or scholarship aid reported to the U.S. Department of Education's 2019/2020 IPEDS Survey. Financial aid is only available to those who qualify. Consult this school's net price calculator for further understanding of your potential net price.
The second consideration after understanding the cost of college is determining how to finance it. Some students are fortunate enough to have some form of family financial assistance, but student loans end up financing a significant portion of higher education in the U.S. 80% of Career Point College students receive U.S. Federal Student Loans with an average annual Federal Loan aid amount of $10,355.
How much are student loan payments for Career Point College? Obviously this varies based on a number of factors - offsetting financial aid you receive, percentage of fee you pay upfront while enrolled and the interest rate on your loans. We've modeled a sample student loan based on current Stafford loan rates to give you an approximate idea.
The following are the costs for a loan if you borrowed $85,720, 100% of the estimated average net price for a four year program and paid nothing while enrolled. The total of all payments including interest would sum $109,052.96. This could be your effective total out of pocket cost of an education at Career Point College. Note that this calculation assumes you don't pay full list price tuition, are part of the reported 80% of students at this school who receive financial aid and you are paying an average annual net price of $21,430. If you do not financially qualify for a reduced net price, your student loan payments could be significantly higher than this example. Use our Career Point College student loan calculator below to change loan assumptions and recalculate.
Student loans are not free money and must be repaid. You cannot dismiss student loans by via bankruptcy.

Can I afford to attend Career Point College? In the end, the answer comes down a determination if you will earn enough to comfortably pay back a student loan with your post graduation salary. This is an extremely important point to consider. In order to afford student loan payments and still meet all your other costs of living, it is recommended not to borrow more than you can pay back using 10% of your monthly income earned after graduation. If you're considering attending Career Point College, you need to carefully consider if it will be realistic to make the post graduation loan payments based on your expected salary.
Using the 10% of salary threshold, an annual income of $109,052.96 would be needed to afford a $908.77 monthly payment in the example $85,720.00 loan modeled above. You will need to determine if it is at all realistic that you will be earning this type of salary after graduation. This assumes a loan payback over 10 years. You can change the terms of this example loan using the student loan calculator below.
What will it cost to send your child to Career Point College in the future? Nationally, university tuition prices are rising around 5% per year. Looking out five, ten, fifteen or eighteen years, these are CollegeCalc's estimates how much you could expect to pay for a 4 year degree assuming tuition increases at the national average rate. Estimated future prices are based on the current 4 year cost of $124,040.00. Use the college savings plan calculator below to perform a more comprehensive analysis on future costs and how much you will need to save for Career Point College.

Vancouver, B.C. - Kivalliq Energy Corporation (KIV: TSX-V) ("Kivalliq") today announced the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Singh as Interim Corporate Secretary, effective immediately. As Corporate Secretary, Mr. Singh will be responsible for legal and regulatory compliance activities and assisting with equity financings, joint ventures and general corporate and commercial work. Mr. Singh currently holds the role of Chief Financial Officer for Kivalliq, Kaminak Gold Corp., and West Melville Metals Inc., and has previously acted in the capacity of Corporate Secretary for West Melville Metals Inc.
This appointment comes with the departure of Ms. Brenda Nowak as Corporate Secretary. Kivalliq sincerely thanks Ms. Nowak for her significant contributions and wishes her every success in her future endeavors.
About Kivalliq Energy Corporation
Kivalliq Energy Corporation (TSX-V: KIV) is a Vancouver-based company with a portfolio of high-quality uranium exploration projects in Canada. Kivalliq holds Canada's highest-grade uranium resource outside of Saskatchewan. The Company's flagship project, the 105,280 hectare Angilak Property in Nunavut Territory, hosts the Lac 50 Trend with a NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U3O8, totaling 43.3 million pounds U3O8. Kivalliq's comprehensive exploration programs continue to demonstrate the "District Scale" potential of the Angilak Property. For disclosure related to the inferred resource for the Lac 50 Trend uranium deposits, please refer to Kivalliq's news release of March 1, 2013.
In Saskatchewan, Kivalliq holds a 100% interest in the recently acquired 13,711 hectare Hatchet Lake Property adjacent to the north-eastern margin of the highly prolific uranium-producing Athabasca Basin. Compilation of results from previous exploration by Hathor Exploration Limited and Rio Tinto have identified multiple, priority unconformity-related basement targets at Hatchet Lake that were followed up in 2015.
Kivalliq also holds a 100% interest in the 200,677 hectare Genesis Property located northeast of Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, with Roughrider Exploration Limited funding the current exploration program pursuant to an option to acquire up to an 85% interest in the property. Located along the Wollaston-Mudjatik trend this highly prospective project starts 25 kilometres northeast of the Athabasca Basin and extends 90kilometres to the Manitoba border.
Kivalliq's team of northern exploration specialists has forged strong relationships with sophisticated resource sector investors and Angilak Property partner Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI). Kivalliq was the first company to sign a comprehensive agreement to explore for uranium on Inuit Owned Lands in Nunavut Territory, Canada and is committed to building shareholder value while adhering to high levels of environmental and safety standards and proactive local community engagement.

When the 2nd largest concrete pumping company in the country needed to produce consolidated reports from 16 independent operating locations in order to comply with loan covenants, they called Corybant. Three weeks later, the new solution was working — producing the reports. The engagement was paid for in the first month by interest savings alone.
When History Colorado CEO realized that producing monthly regulatory and board reports was consuming 3 FTEs, they contacted Corybant. After a two hour review with History Colorado, Corybant devised a strategy that required minimal changes to existing operational processes. Less than a month later, the new automated reporting system was deployed and it freed up the 3 FTEs.
When the Colorado Department of Healthcare, Policy and Finance had less than 60 days to perform on a Federal HHS grant for piloting the Healthy Outcomes Survey for Medicaid, they called Corybant. In less than 45 days, the new multi-lingual telephone/mail outreach capability was used to conduct the surveys and produce the report.

Multimedia Storytelling: Setback of a Country: South Sudan's New War
Setback of a Country: South Sudan's New War
On 15 December 2013, just two and a half years after South Sudan became independent, fighting broke out in Juba between soldiers loyal to President Salva Kiir and those loyal to former Vice-President Riek Machar.
The violence quickly spread across the country, forcing people to flee, dismantling the fragile lives they had rebuilt since independence. Over 1 million people were displaced across South Sudan and to neighboring countries. Many perished along the way; others were brutally murdered in their hospital beds, burnt alive in their homes or attacked while seeking protection in spaces mandated by the United Nations.
While tens of thousands of people have lost their lives during this latest surge of violence, the exact death toll is not known. Many of the killings remain undocumented, and many people are still missing – perhaps buried in mass graves.
Peace talks have been ongoing in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa since January 2014, and an African Union commission of inquiry was established to investigate human rights violations and other abuses committed during the conflict. Still, a durable solution has not yet been found.
South Sudan's Committee for National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation and other reconciliation actors continue to play a critical role. The Committee is working with communities at the grassroot level to bring healing through dialogue, sharing of memories and other restorative justice measures, which will begin to re-weave the torn fabric of affected communities.

It is now well understood that employers discriminate against applicants with criminal records, but less is known about why they do so. This question is critical to designing appropriate laws and policies. New research shedding light on this issue has recently been published in Criminology and an accompanying policy brief. With my co-authors Naomi Sugie and Dallas Augustine, we find that employer discrimination reflects broad-brush stigmatization of people with records. Contrary to common defenses of the practice, employers are not simply acting like rational risk managers targeting repeat offending or negligent hiring liability. This finding sheds light on the complex interactions between institutions—here, the criminal legal system and the labor market—that produce and intensify structural racism and anti-Blackness in the United States today.
To step back for context, employment discrimination laws of all stripes have long faced a cluster of criticisms from those working within a law & economics framework:
- "Real" discrimination based on stigmatization of marginalized groups can't exist because it would be driven out by competitive markets.
- What does exist is merely "rational discrimination" by employers trying to contain costs and boost productivity.
- Regulating employers' "rational discrimination" is not only inefficient and unfair but also triggers perverse consequences. That is because forcing employers to internalize the expense of "accommodating" costly employees simply prompts them to discriminate in other ways.
This suite of arguments has long been deployed, with differing emphases, against race, sex, and disability discrimination laws. An important burst of scholarship (especially by Sam Bagenstos and Christine Jolls) in the early 2000s showed how the rational discrimination/perverse consequences framework, although in that period deployed primarily against disability and pregnancy accommodation requirements, threatened the historical core of race & sex discrimination prohibitions.
More recently, a new wave of employment discrimination laws has emerged under the rubric of "Ban the Box" and "Fair Chance Hiring." These laws regulate employer discrimination on the basis of an applicant's criminal record, among the key mechanisms by which racialized policing and incarceration contribute to racial stratification in economic life.
In this new legal context, the old debates are being repeated. Some scholars (especially Andrew Elmore and Kimani Paul-Emile) have defended these laws precisely by analogizing them to protections against disability discrimination. Others have criticized these new protections as intruding upon employers' rational efforts to manage workplace risk. To the extent that employment of people with records is a social value, critics argue that the cost should be borne by the public through subsidies or supply-side interventions, not by employers (echoing a classic argument about the ADA's reasonable accommodation mandates). And precisely because employers are rationally seeking to control costs associated with people with records, the unavailability of records themselves will drive employers to use race as a proxy for a record, given the massive racial disparities throughout the criminal legal system. This leads employers to engage in "rational" broad-brush discrimination against applicants of color, especially Black men.
Empirical scholarship before and after the rise of Banning the Box has sought to anticipate or detect these "perverse consequences" and to interpret them within this rational discrimination framework. Others, myself included, have argued that legitimizing the racially stratifying exclusion of people with criminal records is not the correct way to fight broad-brush race discrimination, even if that is indeed how employers respond to Ban the Box.
Our new research focuses on whether "rational discrimination" is even the right way to understand how employers use criminal records in the first place. Defenders of employer screening claim that criminal records are simply being used as a source of reliable information about prior conduct that is concerning from a workplace perspective. If that were so, then employers ought to respond the same way to an alternative source of information about the same prior conduct. Yet we find that they do not. We tested the comparison with an experiment in which personnel managers evaluated hypothetical job applicants whose files included criminal background checks and/or social media posts revealing use of illegal drugs.
In our study, employers were more averse to hiring when a criminal record was an information source. They responded not only with amplified fears that similar conduct (drug use) would be repeated but also with indiscriminate fears about a wide range of topics unrelated to the underlying behavior; this response was concentrated in higher status occupations, not in those most susceptible to negligent hiring litigation. These are the hallmarks of stigmatization, not rational risk management. This implies that even if one (wrongly!) thinks that only "irrational" discrimination should be regulated, employer exclusion based on criminal records provides an appropriate target for legal intervention. For full details, you can read the policy brief here and the peer-reviewed article here.

|Photo: Nora York by Stephanie Berger
Nora York is the rare artist who has managed successfully to inhabit the cabaret milieu while subverting its sacred cows. Rock and roll and soul carry equal space on Nora's palette as standards and show tunes, with composers such as Hendrix and Dylan being elevated into the otherwise restrictive Great American Songbook. She makes the lounge presentation a living, connective idiom, rather than long-tooth clichés and snobbish pretense. She has an uncanny ability to conjure themes and linkages, such as her meditation on the mutability between love and madness in her medley "You Go To My Head" married with "Manic Depression."
Further, Nora commits the heresy of turning the lounge into a communal, democratized space, rather than a hallowed shrine to the inscrutable, standoffish diva. Engaging the audience, provoking, challenging, and removing stale atmosphere of sedate, passive ennui associated with most cabaret, Nora morphs the form into a snarling, furious, and wounded beast which she subsequently tames, heals and loves back to life.
Nora's opus "Power/Play" emerged at the crux of tensions following the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 and America's subsequent adventures into Afghanistan and Iraq. Threading her disciplines as an ingénue, actress, dramaturge, bandleader, composer, and multimedia collaborator, "Power/Play" is Nora's emotive wrestling match with the wages of war, its engineers, and its cosigners. It is only appropriate, as part of BAMcafé Live All-Stars, that Nora returns with this particular work, as it was born from a BAM commission complementing the BAMcinematek series "From Hanoi to Hollywood."
As both a personal friend and as a performer, it's good to have Nora back home at BAM.
—Darrell McNeill, Associate Producer, Music Programming
Nora York appears at BAMcafé Live on Friday, March 9 at 9pm.

What is the 'Home Church' movement?
The 'Home Church' movement began during the ministry of Jesus, and continued after his resurrection.
What did Jesus say? "On this rock I will build my church, and death itself will not have any power over it."
In this passage of scripture, Jesus was speaking with Peter. There are two key words in this passage.
The first is 'rock'. Rock means the foundation that Jesus laid for us through his teachings and his ministry.
The next word to note is 'church.' The definition of the word 'church' means people and not an institution, dogmatic rules or a physical building.
The early followers of Jesus had no building or place to meet. They began meeting in their homes.
It was the desire of those who followed Jesus and wanted to carry on his teachings, to gather together in one place. All the believers devoted themselves to the Christ's teachings, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer. (Acts 2:42)
They prayed, broke bread together and carried the message of the 'Good News' to all who had ears to hear and an open heart. "My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God's people." (Ephesians 1:18)
We are like-minded souls who are part of the ever-growing home movement of Christ!
Whether you are a kindred who meets with us once a month, or you just pop in via the web, we are glad you are here!

Don't look now, but online education startups may soon give social media/mobile app developers a run for their money — in Oregon and around the country.
Don't look now, but online education startups may soon give social media/mobile app developers a run for their money — in Oregon and around the country.
Portland startup Treehouse, which offers basic technology classes for high school students, announced today it was closing a $7 million series B round of financing, with Kaplan Ventures taking the lead. CEO Ryan Carson relocated from England last year, and Treehouse will use the money to grow employees and services.
This past December, EdCaliber, a maker of K-12 learning management tools profiled in our June 2012 issue, closed a $335,000 convertible debt financing round led by the Gorge Angel Investor Network.
On the national stage, Stanford announced last week it was joining a Harvard and MIT-backed enterprise, edX, to develop a system that allows colleges to develop free online courses, otherwise known as Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs. Stanford already operates its own MOOC, but the edX partnership is expected to boost enrollment worldwide.
"I really believe this will enable true, planet-scale application of online education," edX president Anant Agarwal told the Huffington Post on Monday.
The surge in online education startups is the most visible sign of the disruption underway in the K-12 and higher education marketplace. As budgets tighten, tuition costs skyrocket — and as quality in secondary and post secondary schooling declines — a growing number of entrepreneurs aim to upend business as usual, making education more accessible and affordable via online options.
As the parent of a high school senior, I am watching such developments with a keen eye. Because sending your kids to college in 2013 is akin to buying a hugely expensive house at the height of the housing boom — but with advance knowledge of the impending collapse.
As for Oregon's startup hordes, the payoff for entering the rapidly growing online ed arena may turn out to be every entrepreneur's dream: lots and lots of money.
OB Editor Linda Baker keeps tabs on CEO and public policy issues, with frequent forays into innovation, entrepreneurship, and bikes.

I am a creature of routine and rituals, in everything including skin care. Earlier this summer, I shared with you my morning and evening skin care routines.
I do the same skin care steps every morning, and every evening. Except when I am in my happy place, Tinos, Greece. Here, the sun shines every day, and I spend more of my day outside than inside. The wind blows, and the sea is extra salty – all elements that have an impact on the look and feel of my skin.
While most of my routine remains, some things do change.
Face care:
- Most importantly, I stop using my Advanced retinol serum. I will use it year-round, including during the summer, but not when spending 80% of my waking day outside in the sun (and I don't mean lying at the beach in the sun – just walking around and eating meals outdoors is enough).
- I double down on my anti-pigmentation routine. In addition to my Pigment lightening serum and the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 Pigm 400, I use Skinceuticals' Discoloration Defense Serum. Three layers of serums to keep my complexion even… or try to!
- Also to prevent an uneven pigmentation, I layer Coola's Classic Facial Sunscreen SPF 50 over my Protective day cream SPF23. Can you tell I'm obsessed with having an even complexion?
- And of course, eye care and a midweight moisturizer. I use my Tightening eye gel morning and evening: its cooling feel and light texture are the best for warmer weather. And my Kantic Calming cream in a daily evening ritual, to heal my skin post sun exposure.
- Finally, twice weekly, a deep treatment with my Gentle refining scrub and Kantic Brightening moisture mask. Sun exposure makes my skin thicker, so regular exfoliation is absolutely key (and no, exfoliating will not make your tan go away faster – on the contrary!). And the mask is magical, year-round of course. This time of year, if feels cooling and refreshing, and the antioxidants work to prevent any sun damage that may have occurred despite my obsessive sunscreen use.
Body care:
- Sun care is my theme. La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ oil is my go-to sunscreen. I love the slick feel and the sun protection is the most effective.
- In the same oil family, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or is such a treat. Body, hair, even sometimes face – it nourishes and the gold particles create a beautiful discreet glow. And the delicate aroma says summer like nothing else.
- Post sun, my Soothing body lotion calms any redness and rehydrates my skin (remember water, chlorine, salt, are all drying ingredients to the skin).
- And finally, because I spend my time exclusively in flip flops or (preferably!) barefoot, I apply my Dry skin balm to my feet religiously morning and evening.
How do you tweak your skin and body care rituals when spending time in sunnier, warmer climates?

Core CPI Japan YoY
Event Date: Tuesday, August 22, 2023
Event Time: 05:00 CET
Core Inflation to Tick Lower Again
Updated Sunday, August 20, 2023
Inflation has been weak in Japan for decades, but now that inflation has weakened considerably across the globe, japan has been feeling it even more. The Bank of Japan seems to have thrown the towel in regard to their 2% target. Core inflation has been below 15 for quite some time, although it has picked up a bit in recent months. Core CPI has increased to 0.7% YoY in April and May, from around 0.4%-0.5% at the beginning of this year, Although core CPI ticked lower from 3.1% in June and is expected to tick lower again to 2.9% in July. Please follow our experienced analysts for live coverage of this event.

About Core CPI Japan YoY
Change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers, excluding food and energy. Food and energy prices account for about a quarter of CPI, but they tend to be very volatile and distort the underlying trend. The BOJ usually pays the more attention to the Core data - so do traders. There's a revised version of this indicator released about 5 days later, but it's not included for lack of significance. Source first released in Nov 2015. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandateCore CPI is viewed as the most accurate representation of inflationary pressures facing the Japanese economy. As a result, it serves as an important resource for the crafting of monetary policy by the bank of Japan. High readings are often precursors for the tightening of monetary policy, while low numbers encourage a dovish stance toward the JPY.

Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have formed the English Premier League's most potent partnership under Jose Mourinho this season.
But the Portuguese manager says some of the credit has to go to his predecessor Mauricio Pochettino.
Son scored his eighth goal of the season in Monday's 1-0 win at Burnley after Kane had headed an Erik Lamela corner into his path.
Spurs are fifth, two points behind leaders Everton, and lead the league in scoring with 16 goals.
It was the ninth goal the pair had combined for this season, with Kane assisting on seven of Son's eight goals, while the Korean has assisted on two of England's forward's five strikes.

The duo has combined for 29 goals in their Premier League careers, second only to the former Chelsea partnership of Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba (36), according to Opta statistics.
"It is an understanding that comes from Mauricio's time," Mourinho told reporters.
"I don't want all the credit myself, let's share with Mauricio. They play together for a long time, probably a different way because Harry is not always nine now.
"What pleases me more about them both is that they are two top players but close friends. No jealousy. They both play for the team."
Kane said Spurs were showing signs of progress under Mourinho as they chase a first major trophy since their 2008 English League Cup triumph.
"I think we are at a stage where we have been so close for so many years, a lot of us have been together for four or five years," said Kane.
"We know with the team we have got and the players we have got, we can do something special."

Two Vases of Chrysanthemums, 1888: Framed Canvas Replica Painting
By artist Claude Monet (1840-1926), in a Private Collection
Item# FAM-DA4131
$159.00 – $450.00
– $360.98
Two tall, slender vases of Art Nouveau design anchor the delightful composition featuring one of Monet's true loves, his flowers. For Impressionist painters of this period, still-life paintings represented a very marketable commodity and Monet's are among the most beautiful of their time. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its bold brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica European style 3.125" wide frame is cast in quality designer resin in a deep ebony hue highlighted by a faux mat and a classic, understated border in an antique gold finish.

About The Artist
Claude Monet (1840-1926)
Claude Monet's paintings are considered to be exemplary of the philosophy of Impressionism which was to show one's perceptions before nature. The term Impressionism is derived from Monet's painting Impression Sunrise and Monet himself was a founder of French Impressionism painting.
Claude Monet was born on November 14 1840 in Paris but moved to the port town of Le Havre when he was five years old. For much of his childhood Monet was considered by both his parents and his teachers to be undisciplined and therefore unlikely to succeed in life. He enjoyed creating caricatures and by the age of fifteen was receiving commission for his work. Fellow artist Eugene Boudin taught young Monet the en plein air (outdoor) techniques for painting. He was the in initiator leader and unswerving advocate of the Impressionist style that can be seen in paintings such as Bordighera.
Later Monet paintings show his maturing method of producing several studies of the same motif in a series where he changed the canvases with the light or as his interest shifted. He painted Haystacks in varying degrees of light the Seine and eventually his Garden at Giverny. He was especially fond of painting these controlled scenes of nature.
Monet's paintings such as Nympheus and Water Lilies at Giverny were inspired by his home and garden in Giverny. He was buried in a nearby cemetary after succumbing to lung cancer in 1926.

Quickies: FDA Fails and the Cost of Measles Outbreaks
- Public misinformed about seal of approval from FDA – "Between 2005 and 2011, nearly half of all new drug formulations in the US were approved without companies having to demonstrate a tangible benefit, such as relieving disease symptoms, extending life, or improving someone's ability to go about normal activities."
- I was a weight loss success story – Criss's photos documenting her weight loss went viral and attracted a shitstorm of horrible people making horrible comments. TW for talk of weight loss and abusive language. From Daniel.
- Costs of a measles outbreak – And information about 2014's first measles outbreak in the US, which thankfully is so far small and contained.

The generalized birthday problem, or k-xor problem, has many applications in cryptography. Interestingly, there is a gap between its provable query complexity and its best known time complexity, obtained with Wagner's algorithm. Quantum algorithms for this problem have been studied by Grassi et al. in 2018, with a similar gap remaining. In this work, we answer most of the open questions they left, thanks to a general unified framework (« merging trees ») of which the algorithms of Grassi et al. are all special cases.
Using Mixed Integer Linear Programming, we obtain the optimal time complexities for k-xor in this merging framework, and prove our observations for all values of k. Contrary to the classical case, where the complexity depends only on the biggest power of 2 included in k, Grassi and al. first observed an exponential quantum time separation between 2-xor and 3-xor. We extend this to all k and prove a separation between any pair of them in the quantum RAM model (also improving the case k = 3).
When the quantum space complexity (number of qubits) is limited to linear, we obtain quantum time speedups on the classical k-xor for half of the values of k, improving also all previously known results. We also study the parallelization of merging trees.
Finally, we extend this study to quantum multicollision search.

How to back up files and database of WordPress website
There are several ways to backup your WordPress site and database. But the easiest way is to use some automated solutions such as plugins. We found some such plugins for automated backup of WordPress site and database.
Among these plugins, we found BackUpWordPress, BackWPup and WordPress Backup to Dropbox are quite popular. We tested 'WordPress Backup to Dropbox' and found it's great. We like the simplicity of downloading backups to your Dropbox. It keeps a copy of your website files and database dump (export) on the could with Dropbox. So you don't worry about losing it ever. And the best part is only the files modified or added will be updated on Dropbox. So it'll not download those files again and agin to your computer.
Later we will test other plugins and let you know about how they works.

Throttle Lamp
Here is my Throttle Lamp. This is the piece I'm most proud of so far. It uses a motorcycle throttle assembly to turn the light on/ off. It has been a number of months in the making and a few different iterations to get it right. There is a spring worked into the cable system so that the throttle snaps back just like on a real motorcycle. The pulley wheel at the top is to change the direction of pull from up - down to side - side like the pull string light socket uses and it minimizes the force required to activate the switch. The lamp base is made of 4 motorcycle transmission gears. The cord is a vintage style black twisted pair fabric covered wire and the length can be specified.
These lamps will be available as custom order only and the design of the base will be subject to what parts I currently have available. Prices will start at $250. To order either use the contact form on the right or start with a $100 deposit below.

Throttle Lamp Deposit $100.00 CAD

My good friend Raj sent me some pictures he took from Chinese new year 2006, and really brought back some nice memories from the days gone by!
As some of you may know, I performed on stage for Chinese new year in 2006 in Trafalgar Square, in the middle of the freezing cold in Feb! It was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had, the adrenalin rush of performing in front of thousands of people was simply amazing! So, to show you what I'm on about, here's some pictures ;-)
and don't we all love a poser lol

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul spoke, along with Ted Cruz, at this week's Religious Right summit in Iowa, organized by Christian-nation advocate David Lane. Echoing themes from his speech last year to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Paul gave his audience what they wanted, calling for a "revival" and comparing current times to the leadup to the Civil War.
"America is in a full-blown crisis, I think a spiritual crisis," he said. Quoting Lincoln, Paul declared that we have "arrived at a day of reckoning" similar to the "tumultuous time when the country was being torn apart" before the Civil War.
"What America needs is a revival," Paul says. "A war is being waged between those who understand and embrace America's exceptional founding and those who simply want to divide."
He closes his remarks with a quotation from Thomas Paine, a noted critic of Christianity.
Clips from the speech were originally posted by CBN's David Brody.

Meet the Characters
The Widgets are a trio of of fun-loving-glitch-fixers made up of Gizmo, Whatsit, and Doobley. They come from the land of Whatchamacallit which is somewhere on the tip of your tongue. No one knows where exactly, but if you look close enough, they're there.
Whatchamacallit is a magical place; on starry nights, when you are tightly tucked up dreaming of wondrous things, the most spectacular events happen.
An industrious world of technical tidbits where bits & bobs are created from recycled rubbish that gets lost in the system.
A world where the most intelligent beings live and work, ensuring all of your gadgets keep working. This is the Widgets' World.
Every Widget is unique and has its own personality, never growing up and always happy as long as the gadgets they create keep working. However, should one suddenly breakdown then the Widgets are hot on the trail to mend the problem and fix the glitches.
With the help of you— the Widget Gems—the Widgets go on epic adventures, complete crafty creations, fix garish glitches, sing catchy songs and disco dance at every opportunity.Widgets working!
When it comes to Widgets working, Gizmo is at the front of the line and leading the way. This pink, furry and lovable friend is always on the lookout to discover new and exciting ideas on adventures through time and space. He is the creative one of the group, constantly constructing unique gadgets and, well…gizmos!
Functional but forgetful, his catch-phrase is "thing-a-me-jig" which he says whenever a word gets lost in the system. Gizmo's favourite hobby is getting his groove on using recycled hand-made DJ decks.
Don't be fooled by his scruffy appearance and clumsy nature, Doobley is the brains of the group. Sometimes, his intellect gets in the way of common sense, but that doesn't stop this cheeky chappy fixing glitches head on. Doobley is fun-loving and friendly, always on the lookout for the next big idea.
When it comes to keeping The Widgets in check, Whatsit is tuned in. Whatsit is clever, practical, lovable and loyal. Often, she must use all her patience to help focus the group. She loves to sing and dance encouraging the Widget Gems to join in.
Play at Home
Hey Widget Gems! We need your help turning Widget World into technicolour! Use that fancy printer-me-thing you have at home and use whatever you have to colour us in: crayons, crate paper, or even any recycled materials. Be sure to take a photo of your fantastic creations and upload them on to the web using #widgetworld to showcase your masterpiece.
