It's a typical dreary day: rain spraying up from inept drivers' wheels while I sit here deciding whether or not to sneak over and turn up the thermostat. However shivery I feel, I can't help but experience a little warm-fuzziness looking back through old pictures. Three weeks ago, I sold my crappy Dell Latitude with all of my old pictures and stuff still on it. The "accomplished geek" that bought it, sent me a disk yesterday of everything salvaged before he wiped its 4X4drive. Or whatever. Which means he also went through all my business: my berjillion pictures of the one time I went to a college football game, and the Humanities 103 essay, where I tried to use the word 'quoth'.
Anyhoo, so I was looking through all of the dorky pictures and documents from freshmen year and found a lovely crap-to-rad project from my dorm days.
This pinata of President George Bush's head was made for the college democrats, who then decided it was a bad idea to actually break it open. Something to do with decency. . . but Isay, "hey, what about all those 'Free Hugs' strumpets, eh?" Well whatever, the pinata is mounted in the college democrats headquarters. I think I heard they were going to riff on the classic 'two girls one cup', fill it up with triumphant excrement, and set it on fire on the White House steps. Yea! Victory assholes! That would be fine with me.
All you need is balloons, newspaper and flour paste. I used a blow dryer to speed up the project, and painted it with acrylics. I remember getting a lot of weird looks from hallmates. Like they have never seen a newspaper effigy of their president before. Odd.

Heh. Two-year-old makes an early debut on NPR show. Ever since blogging about kidnoise early on, I want to start collecting this stuff. Please do send if you see anything…

<rant>I get a more than a little edgy over our sexpectations for women. Don't get me wrong, sex is great. Sexy can be a lot of fun. But when it seems overwhelmingly that sexy = "hot women scantily clad" (oh boy, bring on the spiders) as opposed to sexy = "awesome things between pairs (or, whatever) of people," that can just suck.
There are lines I draw in the sand. There are lots of things people find acceptable — or at least fail to question — that set me right off, especially when a woman's sex appeal gets pulled into business and other inappropriate settings.
So without trying to parse "what is ok?" and "what isn't?" in laborious detail, can we all watch this and just agree *something* is very very wrong?
Next time you laugh or leer at outrageously raunchy women in a very public setting, tell me — is this really how you want your daughter to look, feel and behave?
I'm all for bringing sexy back. I just think it's way sexier when sexy is shared a little more evenly. </rant>
Ok, Mojo of a Mama, Ms. Tara, you just swatted it out of the park my friend.

Wow, so, from Divorce to Reconnecting your family, we gots all kinds of family (dys)function goin on here at LGYL. (There something you're not mentioning? Like that you just fell off the friggin face of the earth & then returned w/out a word? -Ed.) [Um, yeah, that blog pause? You have NO idea. -Lmns]
But back to this post. We're pausing… (again, dammit? -Ed.) [No, I mean shifting gears from obnoxious to eloquent. Will you just shaddap Ed? -Lmns] …for an uncharacteristically sentimental moment to ponder some of the wonderful, beautiful things about family, and ways of reconnecting. Now that I've totally ruined the mood, take a deep breath, smile, and consider these ways of connecting with those you love most:
Reconnecting with your family: a How-to
Presence. Quiet. Conversation. Shared experience. Touch. Collaboration. Play.
Preparing + sharing a good meal.
Love as a verb more than a noun.
Stepping away from the web, the gadgets and the external world. (Tho its sometimes possible to reestablish civil terms via email when something goes off the rails.)
Shared effort/work/accomplishment: Chores, yardwork, raking leaves, chopping wood, shoveling snow, accomplishing together. Shared exhaustion and satisfaction in a job well done.
And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood
Because you never know how next year will be
And we'll gather all our arms can carry — Dar Williams
Retreat/vacation: Even just goofy daytrips. Especially goofy daytrips. I friggin love goofy daytrips.
Also incredibly important — self care and self-love. Nothing above will work without it. This used to be my biggest problem. The more solid you can be loving you, the more you can give to others. The oxygen on the airplane? Put your own mask on first.

Who knew our debt to Coney Island?
This surreal back story on the origins of neonatology from Sweet|Salty:
Coney Island, he said. They had a display, a freak show, for lack of a better word. Perhaps one day a baby was born too soon and this experimentally-minded doctor said 'Let's see if we can keep this fetus alive outside the womb…' and he managed it, and then again, and then they were all hooked, trying to get them to survive smaller and smaller, and nobody had ever seen such a thing. It was one of the most popular displays.
We got off so easy. 34+ weeks. Healthy. Just 8 days' NICU. Coney Island, I'll never look at a corn dog the same way again.
Kate is another hero. My baby's twin whispered silently, commonly, away just into the fetal period. She's had the strength to meet, love, nurture and surrender her Liam, sharing his short life and radiant memoryspirit —
When the sun dapples through the trees they whisper we have him. They may be all the sum of osmosis and photosynthesis and veins and nutrients but to me altogether they are one voice that breathes, knows, keeps.
— with every one of us.
Thanks for the free post, WhyMommy. Keep on rocking your fight against IBC.
Moms. We love our kids. We drive ourselves nuts taking care of them and helping them learn and grow. We would do anything for them. Right?
Of course. So do them a favor and take care of yourself. Do your monthly breast self-exam and report any changes to your OB/GYN. ANY changes. Even something that seems minor, like redness, soreness, thickening, itchiness, texture changes, dimpling, or a bug bite that just won't heal. These seemingly minor symptoms are also signs of the baddest breast cancer out there – inflammatory breast cancer – and need to be checked out right away.
So do it for yourself or do it for your kids. But please, do your breast self-exam this month. Even if you're pregnant. Even if you're breastfeeding. Even if you think you're "too young for breast cancer." It could save your life.

What is it with the shift from telling your kid's age in months to telling it in years?
Sometime around 2 years of age, this starts to happen. By 3 the deal is pretty much sealed. I defy you to find a preschooler whose parents will answer you "oh, my __aiden is 38 months old."
Unlike most parenting quirks, it's not just the kid-obsessed parents who think this way. When someone asks me how old my daughter currently is, I know for a fact they are not looking for "1", they want to know "22 months." But I'd say 36 months is the absolute outer envelope. Nobody's kid is 48 months old.
I think it's fraction acceleration.
When you notice the feeling that time is accelerating and moving "faster than ever", you're noticing that a year is now an increasingly small fraction of your time on earth. What was once a whole 1/10th of your life seems to dwindle to a "mere" 1/25th. 1/35th, etc. So I think that's what's going on here. That and developmentally, a 12 month "1 year old" and a 23 month "one year old" might as well be seedlings and trees.
To be less glib, can you treat this next year as 1/10th of your life instead of the actual fraction it's become?

Today we went to Amtex for conducting blind walk. We met Dankush and HR Neha and they were very supportive. We were introduced to the staff of Amtex . Earlier they all were working but when they were told by Neha about the noble cause for which we were there they all came to support us in this good initiative. We first announced them the reason to conduct the blind walk as it was to sensitize the people towards the difficulty faced by the visually impaired people. We looked for a place where we could do the blind walk.We asked the employees to take initiative and two of those came forward and we instructed them the way to do blind walk and told them the stretch till where those were supposed to do the blind walk. There were a few obstacles in the stretch but everyone used their canes to overcome obstacles and we as Esha team also kept guiding them during the walk. Once the walk was done we asked them about their experiences and they all said it was really tough to walk and they could understand the difficulties the visually impaired people felt. They all thoroughly enjoyed this as well.
After that we recorded the experiences of HR Neha and Dankush as well and they said they were really happy to be part of this activity. They also assured us that their organization would definitely like to be part of the activities conducted by Esha foundation

Couchtuner Desc:
A daring jewel heist in the south of France bears all the hallmarks of the notorious "Pink Panthers" gang but with one tragic difference: the death of a little girl sets off a chain of events across Europe. A British insurance loss adjuster, her nefarious boss, a French-Algerian cop and Serbian gang member are placed on a dramatic and dangerous collision course. The trail of diamonds leads to gun trafficking, spiralling backward to Bosnia during the dark days of the Balkan conflict, and through webs of corruption between Marseille, Belgrade and the high-finance capital of London.

First of all, the woman worked there for ten years. If she had been acting or dressing inappropriately, it seems such an issue would have had precedent. A jealous spouse or a wandering spouse are no reason to fire someone who has performed their duties correctly and loyally for such a long time. Granted, I don't know the full details of the case or have photographs or anything to judge whether the woman was actually in the wrong, but I'm going to speak to the principle of the matter.
It is not the fault of one person for another's insecurities or inability to remain loyal to their partner. If this woman were coming to work in low cut tops or really short skirts, see-through blouses or bending over more obviously than is necessary to pick up a file or a pencil, that would be one thing, but it's a dentist's office. I was under the impression that most dental assistants, as well as hygienists and dentists themselves, wear scrubs. At least they do at my dentist's office. It's the administrative people, the file clerks and receptionists, who are supposed to wear the business professional or business casual attire which might offer more freedom and opportunity to dress inappropriately.
The frustrating thing is, once again, it's the word of one person in a position of power versus the word of another person who is in a position to be fired. Sexual harassment is supposed be under a strict "no tolerance" policy at pretty much every job in the country. It should make no different whether the harasser is a supervisor or not, and yet, office politics and issues like gender bias seem to always place the blame on the person lowest on the totem pole.
"Oh, s/he dressed too provocatively, I couldn't help it," the higher up person says. You know what? No. If you have no self-control, that's your problem. You don't get to get away with this just because you can't keep it in your pants. And you know what, spouse/partner of no-self-control person? This won't be the last time this happens. You can demand they fire every good-looking employee in the office and they will always find a way back into the gutter. Firing others doesn't address whatever the real problem is in the relationship, and there usually is a relationship problem if the spouse is requesting the firing.
Speaking up about harassment in the workplace is important, whether you're a man or woman, though unfortunately, it is often women who experience it. Whether your coworker or boss comments in an offensive or inappropriate way how nicely those jeans fit you, whether they make sexually or otherwise inappropriate jokes, whether they look at porn on their computer when you happen to show up for a meeting--whatever the case may be, it's important to let the right people (HR or whoever is in charge of enforcing the policy) know about it.
If you put up with it when you're uncomfortable with the words, attention, or actions, even if they're not particularly offensive to you, you're just letting the negative environment propagate. If it makes you a narc, so be it. You have to do what you feel is right, regardless of politics or the ridiculous possibility that you may lose your job in the process. I say "ridiculous" because coming forward with something like this should never cause you concern for your job security. It's ridiculous that things still work that way in the 21st century.
You are entitled to a safe, harassment-free, and healthy work environment. Your job may still suck, your coworkers still may not pull their weight, and you may never get that ergonomic chair or mouse you requested, but at least you don't have to put up with demeaning or offensive attitudes when you're just trying to earn a living.
Fight for your right
to a healthy work environment.
to a healthy work environment.

Lummi Tribal Member Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison for Rape
Assault Occurred During Social Gathering With Children Present In The Home
An enrolled member of the Lummi Tribe was sentenced last week to ten years in prison for aggravated sexual abuse, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. ROBERT DEWEY JOHNSON, 48, of the Lummi Indian Reservation, sexually assaulted a woman who was a guest in his home while her young children were present. The assault occurred on December 3, 2012. At the sentencing hearing Chief U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman imposed the ten year sentence saying she was concerned about the emotional harm to the victim and to her children who heard their mother's screams.
According to records filed in the case, the victim and her family were socializing in JOHNSON's home. When the victim's significant other left to run an errand, JOHNSON sexually assaulted the victim in a bedroom of the home. JOHNSON was indicted in May 2013 and pleaded guilty in July 2013.
In addition to the prison term, JOHNSON will be on supervised release for five years and will be required to register as a sex offender.
The case was investigated by the Lummi Police Department and the FBI. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney J. Tate London.

This is an amazing compendium of mathematics, language, art, and psychology. I find the psychological aspect to be the most interesting. It seems that we, as humans, are amazed by the Library of Babel (LoB) because of the cognitive biases we suffer from. From Wikipedia:
A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion that indeed make us human.
The many types of cognitive biases have been categorized; for example, see Wikipedia's "List_of_cognitive_biases". Searching through these categories, I find some appear more relevant than others, like:
- Conjunction fallacy – The tendency to assume that specific conditions are more probable than general ones.
- Confirmation bias – The tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.
- Clustering illusion – The tendency to overestimate the importance of small runs, streaks, or clusters in large samples of random data (that is, seeing phantom patterns).
A person not displaying these biases would see the LoB as a trivial consequence of randomness and would not be amazed in the least. Spock (Star Trek) would declare human's amazement in the LoB to be … illogical.

Hello Jonathan Basile.
This is a stupid question
What is the purpose this website and how to understand the purpose of those random characters,symbols and words
.Does this libary tells you everything in the universe even from the past,present,and future? if its true.Or it is just a library of random characters,symbols and words.
Hey hifrma to answer your question the library exists to put it simply to hold everything, every possible combination of letters and in the original story all possible characters i.e %,& (i'll link it below) and like dan said we look at it like it's a wonder to be pondered over when in reality it's really just a really big library. I mean I would be lying if I said I wasn't amazed by what Jonathan has accomplished and will sometimes pour over the books for hours, sorry rambling there, but yes the library contains everything in the universe and also every variation of everything in the universe, the number of books is unfathomably large (it states the number of books in this version in the about section on the main page, the one in the original story and approximately 10^1,834,097 books).
I got it wrong the original story stated that the only punctuation in the books is the comma and period, I had gotten it mixed up with A Short Stay in Hell a novella written by Steven L. Peck that uses the idea of the library in an afterlife setting.
Very interesting concept and work!
Do I understand that the images are randomly seeded? Just curious as to why they are not some sequential. On a side note, if they are randomly seeded, are you using a CRC or something to confirm that all have been generated (or can be generated)?
How would I go about seeing the permutations of an image? Is there an index strategy that I'm not aware of that will show the slight variations? Given the dimensions and bit depth, only 1 pixel may be different across ~3.2M images (if my math is correct). How would we find/view any of those other images?
Oops, my math was incorrect. 🙂 1 pixel different @ 4096 colors (not bit depth) is over 1 billion variations.
I know that sequential sequencing would be bad for the slideshow. Perhaps a way to skip ahead 1,090,519,040 pages/images could show the next permutation of the preceding/original image?
Jonathan BasileKeymaster
Hey Roadie,
I may add some search features that make it easier to find images with similar pixels, but I wouldn't want to cut through the (pseudo-)randomness of the organization. That's part of the fun!
The PRNG I'm using is a variation of an Linear Congruential Generator, and since I've followed the Hull-Dobell theorem, it guarantees that all possible values in the range are potential outputs.
Thanks for the info!
I and my friends tried out the image search option, we uploaded an image from my computer and clicked submit.
My question is, if i use the universal slide show, can i randomly find a normal picture, like we just uploaded or the pictures, that are uploaded by poeple are generated when they click submit.
it seems very unbelievable to just randomly find images of people
Hello Jorg,
Based on what I understand from the author, yes, you can find not only normal photos or images within the gallery, but every single possible image in the universe (as long as it can be condensed to 640 by 416 pixels or less). So you would be able to find every photo in existence. The reason you pretty much find only images of incomprehensible static is because each individual pixel can have 1 of 16.6 or so million values to determine it's color and shade (assuming that it uses the full rgb color spectrum), and there are 266240 pixels in each image.
Images are not "uploaded" to the gallery, but merely found within the algorithm that generates the images.
Is there a developers guide to this? I'm really interested to see how this is made.
I have long been thinking about the Library of Babel. It boggles my mind completely. One of my questions remains unanswered; it is intended for the website. Is there, or will there be, a sound archive which would contain every sound possible? (Of human ears that is.)
Much gratitude!

Hey Jonathan Basile..
are there any news regarding the downloadable open source version?
@Vus Elis: I think, in your question, you have hit upon the most important lesson to be learned from this, and the one that Borges kept repeating again and again in his works: the futility of "getting one over" on the universe. (Alan Watts also has some great talks about this.) Let's consider carefully what your "predictive algorithm" (call it "PA") would do. It's going to take some unit of measurement, some criteria, and compare each next pixel to see if it either meets the criteria (and the image search continues to the next pixel) or doesn't (image is discarded).
But here's the question: how do you write something that can filter out the nonsense, without already knowing what nonsense is? The algorithm itself is picking the next pixel based upon what is already thinks it should be, to filter out the entropic noise. Taken to its logical conclusion, that means that by the time the algorithm has selected an image to be "sense", it has essentially already searched for the entire image. It did not need to use the Library at all — it had to have already known what the image was, in order to pick it out of the crowd.
The same idea occurs when I thought about searching for the future of the human race, or my death, or anything that has not already happened. (Or has happened, for that matter.) Because there are so many permutations of the next letter after "the future of humanity is…" I will constantly have to know what the next character is that I need to search for to eliminate the entropic noise. As I input each character, somehow I'm going to have to know, ahead of time, what the future is that I'm trying to predict. It may "all be in there" but to discover it requires that it already be known.
It is this, I think, that made all the librarians so depressed. They sat upon the penultimate treasure, with no way to access it without already possessing that which they sought.
I'm loving all this. Great site.
Mark Vass
Are you still going to make the source code available at some point?

Governance of eHealth
With the conclusion of eHealth-related projects in 2013 and the creation of a new health sector information management/information technology strategy calling for governance reform, the B.C. Health Chief Information Officer Council designed, received a mandate, and authority from the B.C. Health Leadership Council and began implementation of a new functional governance model in June 2014.
The governance committee is called the B.C. Health Information Management and Information Technology Executive Council (IMITEC). In March 2015, Leadership Council renamed IMITEC to the Standing Committee of Information Management and Information Technology (SCIMIT) and revised the terms of reference accordingly.

Bhutto laid foundation of a new Pakistan: CM Murad
KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Wednesday said that Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was a true visionary leader who laid the foundation for a new country where everyone including minorities were given their constitutional rights.
The chief minister was addressing a gathering to celebrate the birth anniversary of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) founder at the People's Secretariat, said that Bhutto founded the party to alleviate the problems of the downtrodden.
He said that Bhutto came to power when Pakistan was bleeding, and in state of shock because its one wing was chopped, and restored the dignity of the nation.
Thereafter, Bhutto secured the release of 90,000 prisoners, provided a new constitution. created job opportunities in the country and abroad, spearheaded the process of industrialisation and developed the shattered country.
This laid the foundation for a new country where everyone including minorities were given a constitutional right to live.
CM Murad said that Bhutto left an indelible effect on the politics of the nation, and brought it out of the drawing rooms of the feudal and spiritual 'pirs' and into the hands of the common people.
"Shaheed Bhutto is the name of struggle, Bhutto is the name of sacrifice, sacrifice for the people of Pakistan, Bhutto is the name of martyrdom – the martyrdom that makes you live in the hearts and soul of poor people of Pakistan whom he served," he said.
He said that the Bhutto demonstrated people power and the PPP leadership and workers has carried forward the tradition to serve the people.
Former Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Maula Bux Chandio, Waqar Mehdi, and Saeed Ghani also spoke on the occasion. Provincial minister Manzoor Wassan said that he foresees victory for the PPP in the 2018 general elections from across the nation including Karachi.

A business traveller who travels for work at times get a breather. Those are the times when I get to know about the place, people, food, and nearby attractions.
This year my trip to the USAs based out of Atlanta. I traveler to places like Raleigh, Missouri, Huntsville for work. Some of them were short trips, few by air while a few of them were road trips. It's always a pleasure to see new places and that is what keeps me stick to the travel.
Huntsville is at 4hrs drive from Atlanta. The drive to Huntsville is a beautiful road trip starting from Atlant via Tennessee (Chattanooga) and you reach Huntsville in Alabama. You go through the beautiful countryside and then pass through the beautiful mountainous Chattanooga and reach the mighty Huntsville. Initially, I thought it is just a small town, but the first day when we went out for dinner we saw a mighty rocket on the way to the dinner place. I was awestruck and my dream of seeing a rocket is becoming a reality here. That was Davidson Rocket and SpaceCenter. Without fail, I took a picture of the same, but next thing I did was google about this. Then I came to know about the importance of Huntsville. This is where the mighty Redstone Arsenal and Marshall space center is located.
Redstone Arsenal:
Originally a chemical weapons manufacturing facility for World War II, in the immediate post-war era it became home to the German rocket scientists that were brought to the US as part of Operation Paperclip. The team first worked on ballistic missiles, starting with V-2 rocket derivatives before moving on to a series of ever larger designs. Many of their tests were carried out at White Sands Missile Range, flights between the two locations were common. In late 1956 the Army was relieved of most of its ballistic missiles in favor of similar weapons operated by the US Air Force. The German design team was then spun off to become part of the newly founded NASA. Redstone served as the primary site for space launch vehicle design into the 1960s. [Courtesy:Wikipedia.org]
Even though we are not allowed to visit the Marshall space center, I got a chance to visit Davidson Space & Rocket Center. You get to see a real rocket dissected and other stuff which enlightens about outer-space and journey to the moon and how they achieved. You get to see the Lunar Modules, Rover, Space lab, how they sleep, medicine and almost everything related to a space journey. This is the place every kid would love to see and many of us had dreamt about.
The ticket cost is 25$ for the visit without the movie in the Imax inside the space center. In case if you like to watch the movie, you can opt for a different ticket which comes at 40$. This place has a space camp for kids. The moment you enter this place you will be awestruck with all the innovations you have heard about and the gadgets and tools used in space. This is the main building which has a theater and these things. Then you go to the bigger building for some fun rides for kids and elders. Due to time constraint, I went straight to the next building to see the rocket, a real one which they made to travel to space.
While you walk to that building you pass several rockets, vehicles used by the army and also prototypes or real life models of the ones used in space. Then you enter the building where you get to see the mighty Saturn 5, one of the 3 authentic Saturn 5 rocket built. Outside the Saturn 5 hall is the Rocket Park which is called "the finest rocket collection in the world" by Mercury astronaut John Glenn. In the park, 27 missiles and rockets show how Army rocketry launched America's space program and gave rise to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
There is a shuttle park where you get to see a complete chronology of launch vehicles in USA, including the world's only fully-stacked Space Transportation System (STS) that includes two solid rocket boosters, genuine space shuttle main engine nozzles and a genuine external tank. This orbiter, a Pathfinder, is on display in Shuttle Park and is flanked by a T-38, a twin-engine supersonic jet used in astronaut training.
Other than these, there is a National Geographic Theatre & a Discovery Theatre where you get to see about space journeys and 3D movies about space travel on big screens.
I haven't heard many people talk about this place, but whoever likes outer space journey's, science and NASA should visit this place. Also, there is a bus which you can buy ticket from here and will take you to the Marshall space center. The bus tickets are available until 12 pm it seems.
Sometimes you get the best surprise at the least expected time and my Huntsville trip is the best example.
How to reach there?
There is an airport in Chattanooga which is 2 hrs drive from Huntsville or fly to Birmingham airport which is also at a similar distance.

Right, so firstly I will just clearly state: This story contains male rape. This story was originally a "challenge accepted" from a pony forum in which, I complained on the utter lack of male rape. (that is, where the male is the victim.) So I accepted the challenge and went ahead with it. And this probably took me waaay to long to write but in either case.
Resume: Soarin heads to a night club to meet up with Spitfire, but as he gets there, she seems to have run into somepony familiar, and asks if Soarin would be okay with her leaving with said somepony. Afterwards, Soarin bumps into a fan, but not just any fan, his number one fan, and she brought him a pie...
Anyhow, as said, if you don't like to read about rape, don't read. Simple as that. The victim and perpetrator was voted out in the forums. So props to you if you can guess which background pony got made delusional and rides poor Soarin dry. And tbh, I do believe this was the first fic with male rape in it. That, or any one that has it has managed to completely hide from the net xP
The fic is about Trixie trying to get her stuff back (from what I remember of it, derp) and get back on track, but finds herself captured. She is offered her stuff back. But on one condition... (Short version: Trixie gets gang-banged, and slightly beat up+humiliated.)
I explored quite a few new concepts in this fic. One being the "non-con" sex principal. (Ie: somepony not being forced to sex, but is doing it against their will, with free will. Blackmailing if you so wish) Another being "female endowment", now this is something I know pretty much none of you have heard of, and about none have considered, so I'll have to explain it a bit: Female endowment is the size of the vulva overall, mainly the labia. (average length 2-5 cm) How "hung" a female is, is how deep her vagina goes. (average 19 cm) Now, these might first be human standards, but it should give you an insight of comparisons.
So yeah, with that overly long explanation, do read this if you want to read about Dash roughing up Trixie, giving her a "offer she can't refuse", then fucking her silly, then having her gangbanged by other mares of ponyville. (and possibly a few of the stallions) And like said: Mind the OOC and... kinda odd scenes at times ^^'
(Especially the one I tried to add some depth to the story, and yes, I know that a certain joke in the fic is slightly overused, but it amuses me xP)
Humanity found out that it was not alone years ago. A portal was opened, revealing the existence of Equestria, land of the Ponies, and a much larger world. Soon, a partnership between the two races was formed. All was well.
Having been rejected from taking a job he was aiming for in Equestria, a human stumbles upon another job opportunity. With the staggering ratio of mare and stallion, somepony thought they could make some money to hire out human males to mares on request, providing a wide range of service from the intimate to the very sensual.
This is his story.
Contains human paired with ponies. You've been warned.
First Story of the Gentlemanverse
"you would think that the slightest change and people don't notice right?.....wrong even if people don't notice it right away depending on what it is people will either grow into it or cause a mass panic."
"Now giving that fact here's a question for ya."
"Will human society grow into a zombie Armageddon?"
Catface Icemane has always been a bit of a womaniser, bit of a sex addict. Cast out from his home, he has decided to give Ponyville a visit. After all, while he may not have a home there, he could certainly borrow some from some of the mares - and stallions.
Twilight Sparkle makes friends easily, ever since she came to Ponyville. Some would argue, a little TOO easily. Three ponies; one whose affection grows every time she sees her, one she was kind to in her darkest hour, and one who's admired her from afar for years. Cheerilight, Twixie, or Firelight. Which shipping will reign supreme? Will our oblivious mare even notice the competition going on? Who will she choose?
A young man receives a mysterious board game on his doorstep. Once he begins playing, he is thrust into the world of Equestria, where he learns of the peculiar rules to the game and the evil force that's behind it...

Preliminary Findings
Despite the apparent privileges that men and boys seem enjoy in most societies, their health is surprisingly poor. Men die sooner than expected and their Life-Expectancy(s) are consistently 5 - 7 years shorter than their female counterparts. During their early years, boys are less likely to succeed in school, more likely to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and much more likely to be prescribed cerebral stimulants such as Ritalin. As boys grow into young men, they are more likely than their female counterparts to be arrested and charged with criminal offences, to be incarcerated, injured, hospitalized or killed in their work-place,through suicide attempts, and by unintended and intentional violence. Boys and men are also more likely to operate a motor-vehicle while impaired. Furthermore, men residing in rural and northern areas are much more likely to be hospitalized or die as a result of consuming alcohol, tobacco or illicit drugs.
Our early findings indicated that males seemed to connect less frequently with health services than their female counterparts. It was also suggested that health services may be less successful in connecting with men. Recently the BC government announced that more than 1,400 illicit drug over-dose deaths occurred in BC during 2017. Of these largely preventable deaths, 4 out of 5 (or about 80%) occurred in males.

People ask me what I do.
It's hard to explain what "instruction" looks like in distance education.
It's hard to explain what "instruction" looks like in distance education.
Alberta's Teaching Quality Standards says that quality teaching occurs when teachers understand the contextual variables that affect teaching and learning and respond by making reasoned pedagogical decisions that result in "optimal learning."
|My great aunt Isabel Perry in her classroom in Beaverlodge Alberta.
For a traditional teacher in a typical classroom in Alberta, there are many contextual variables. Classroom teachers know that each class in a public school in Alberta will have, among other things, students with a wide range of reading levels, a few ESL students, a few gifted students, children from a wide variety of income levels including those in poverty, children from broken homes, kids with mental illness, some with physical disabilities, a couple who may be repeating the course, some struggling with bullying, some with family issues, perhaps one or two with addictions issues, and a handful who have been coded with special needs. Yet once those students are in the classroom, the impact of many of those variables can be lessened because each of those kids is in a classroom, probably sitting in a desk, surrounded by his or her peers, receiving group and one on one instruction from a teacher and/or teaching assistant who can gauge the student's learning through verbal cues, body language and interpersonal interaction. A classroom teacher will make decisions about how to teach these children so that all will learn.Those students also have, for better or worse, a community of their peers who may support or hinder their learning.
Now put that same teacher in a distance education environment. The teacher is faced with the same variables as the classroom teacher and more. For instance, at least 40% of my students are repeating Social Studies 10-2 and close to 60% of them have special needs of one kind or another. And because I am not in control of the daily learning environment, there are even more variables outside my control. Mary has a baby at home, Randy has crippling social anxiety, Jason is working on his own in the library, Jodi has physical disabilities so severe she cannot actually get to school, Siobhan is caring for an ailing parent, Rajan is looking after his grandpa with dementia and Saleem lives in Qatar. These students do not live in the same town and do not have a community in common. I do not have control of the contextual variables of time and space that the classroom teacher has. Instead of all sitting in desks in the same room at the same time, my students are working in an almost infinite variety of settings. One may be completing a couple of question while on break at Mr. Lube. One maybe work from home with no English speaker in sight to talk to. Another may be wrestling with an elusive concept while changing a diaper or working late at night at the kitchen table after farm chores are done. Another may be on a sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico or working in a compound in the Middle East with limited internet access.
When teachers create lessons, they have pictured in their heads the students who will be interacting with the lesson contents. Based on their experience, they predict what these students will put into their learning, and imagine what they will take away. Distance educators are no different, yet the contextual differences mean that far more must go into the planning of lessons because teacher is not in front of students to fill in the gaps in learning, to check for understanding, to provide immediate classroom or individual instruction when a lesson goes wrong, or to reteach a concept when formative assessment reveals the lesson taught did not achieve the desired learning outcome.
As distance educators, we try to predict every possible way in which our students might read or misread what we create, the mistakes in completing an assignment, the errors in thinking they may exhibit, the shutdown that may result from material that is too complicated and from directions that are hard to understand. We constantly remind ourselves that we are not there face to face with our students. We cannot hear the little comments made under their breath or out loud that show they just don't get it. We cannot judge their body language, or observe the moment when the student is no longer engaged in the task at hand. We also know that our students frequently work in isolation. A student cannot turn to his seatmate and ask "what did you get for question 3?" or "how long is your paragraph? or "remind what page the teacher said that tutorial was on". There is no adult nearby to gently nudge the child in the right direction or assist in the review of a concept or restate the task to be accomplished in a different way. We know that if our lessons are poorly crafted, there may be no "do over" the next day. Our students may easily become lost to the point of no return.
Far beyond being simple lesson plans, for a distance educators like me, the materials we create become our voices, reaching out to our students and speaking to them in a language we hope they will understand. While I may use Dreamweaver and Photoshop and html and a myriad of other software programmes, I still try to engage my students and capture their interest with my words. I endeavor to scaffold instructions so that my students experience success by learning in increments with as much positive feedback as I can provide, to keep them motivated and interested and achieving. I tell my students that when they read their materials they should think of them as me talking to them.
Yet despite this careful scaffolding of instruction, despite our carefully worded and planned lessons, our focus on formative assessment, our encouragement to phone or email or Skype for extra explanation, despite our meticulously written, peer edited, revised and rewritten assignments, our use of images, audio and video, our students make errors. They do not always exhibit a full understanding of the concepts. They must be retaught. In the classroom, the teacher can discuss these common errors with the entire class. The distance educator, however, must reteach one child at a time. While we do try to automate some feedback, in many cases, the comments we make to our students take the form of mini lessons that teach a prerequisite skill the student has not obtained, or ask guided questions, or explain a concept again in another way, sometimes with video and/or audio explanations. "Marking" assignments in this way is a very different process than that practiced by classroom teachers.
Another area in the realm of the distance educator is nagging. Distance education programmes have notoriously high attrition rates. Trying to keep students moving forward when they are at a distance is a challenge. We phone and email and video-conference and instant message and use the built-in online pager and contact parents and partner schools. We even send letters by postal mail.We track down lost exams and missing phone numbers and lost kids and assignments gone astray. We encourage and cajole and try to pique interest.
In all of this, what is considered "teaching"? What is considered "lesson planning"? What is "marking? What is "clerical work"?
There are many similarities between what a classroom teacher does and what a distance education teacher does. But there are many differences.
People ask me what I do. It's a complicated question. But it has a simple answer.
I teach.

Of course, however it depends on certain things such as your system size, your feed in tariff rates and your energy consumption during the day. (the less you use the more you export into the grid
On the occasions that you use more power than your solar panels are generating, you will be importing (buying) electricity from the grid to power your home.
The wonder is, you need very little maintenance. One and only thing we highly recommend is that you keep your panels nice and clean.
At Victorian Solar Light, we only use BCSE and CEC accredited installers and licensed electricians. That way we can guarantee quality control.

When we had a sporty photoshooting with David, we enjoyed an entertainment enough. We laughed a lot. So as you can see, this new model is handsome, so I don't have to repeat it several times. Therefore, we didn't miss the opportunity and took some pictures in an elegant style. The shirt fastened for the first button, a chic coat and little bit messed hair, did from David a trendy beau.

Great news! Earlier this week in Washington State, Governor Jay Inslee stood with consumers by signing a bill into law that keeps current reporting on infections associated with hip and knee replacements and cardiac surgeries. The bill also requires hospitals to report on additional types of infections.
The bill passed the House and Senate unanimously, even though the Washington Hospital Association opposed an amendment to it that retained reporting requirements for the three procedures. The amendment was pushed by Consumers Union's Safe Patient Project and the Washington Advocates for Patient Safety over the objections of the hospitals and the Department of Health, the two groups that supported the original bill that removed the three surgeries from public reporting. Local activists testified at committee hearings, over 3300 Washingtonians sent emails to legislators in support of the amendment and 250 people called the Governor's office to ask him to keep the Consumers Union amendment.
The Hospital Association asked Governor Inslee to veto a section that would have eliminated our amendment – they stated reporting on these surgeries "would be a burden to hospitals", "is too time-consuming for the benefit gained" and that the procedures do not have significant infection rates. Safe Patient Project Director Lisa McGiffert wrote a letter to Governor Inslee asking him not to veto the reporting section of the bill.
Reporting on infections for the three procedures was mandated in 2007 with the Hospital Infection Reporting Law. But consumers have only seen one year of information so far, making it impossible to establish trends. That report shows that Washington hospitals had varying infection rates for hip and knee replacements, ranging from zero to nearly one in 20 patients in larger hospitals, and as high as 14% in smaller hospitals. Consumers Union was told by the Department of Health that 250 hip and knee replacement patients were infected in Washington hospitals during this first reporting period. (Unfortunately, the public report does not give the total number of infections, just the rates.) While infection rates overall may seem "low", the high volume of these mostly "clean" surgeries translates to a lot of people being harmed by infections that should have been prevented.
The WA Secretary of Health claimed that reporting on these high volume surgeries was "outdated." Instead, he indicated it was more important for the state law to require hospitals to report on several lower volume surgeries that they are already reporting to the federal government (abdominal hysterectomies and colon surgery). Frankly, we believe most consumers want hospitals to account for all infections that occur in their facilities, not just the ones deemed "important" to health care providers.
It's important to gather data from several years to accurately monitor these surgical infection rates, especially because the number of hip and knee replacements is increasing significantly every year. Surgeries on hips and knees are exactly the kind of procedures that consumers do research on – they are elective and people often have time to plan ahead. Reports on these specific surgical infections will end in Washington in 2017; by then we hope to see the federal government include reporting of these infections in its public reporting program.
Washingtonians should send a big thank you to Governor Inslee for siding with patients and acknowledging: "…these infections can be so catastrophic that I think it warranted this effort to reduce infections…what we have found is there can be very profound improvement of infection rates once we focus hospitals on trying to make those improvements. So I thought it was the right move."

A mom who recently gave birth to her third child says that the hospital where she was staying put her and her newborn in jeopardy.
Grace Randolph had a complicated delivery, and her baby was in the neonatal intensive care unit while she recovered in the maternity ward of the Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center.
She decided to take a shower there, but what she saw made her stomach turn. Grace says there were tiny black bugs crawling all over the walls, and she caught them on camera.
The mom complained, but she claims that the hospital staff wasn't helpful.
"They said that they could spray the room after I left and that was the other part I was unhappy with, was while I was waiting, I wasn't offered a clean place to shower or another room," Grace told KFOR.
To add to her negative experience, she says that none of the information they had about her was accurate; at one point, the staff had another patient's records and file but not hers.
She can only begin to imagine what could have happened if her husband wasn't with her, or if she hadn't been conscious.
The hospital stated that it takes the health and safety of its patients seriously, and is looking into the issue.
Please SHARE if you're a mom who can't imagine being in this woman's shoes during such a vulnerable time!

Gold price from September 12, 2016 to September 12, 2017 (World Gold Council Photo)
China is the world's largest gold importer, producer, processor, as well as consuming nation. In 2016, the country produced 453.49 tons of gold, ranking the first for 10 years consecutively. China's gold consumption reached 975.38 tons in 2016, the first on the list for four continuous years.
However, China's voices and performances in the global gold market are imbalanced. World Gold Council, the most important global gold organization has 22 member companies, with only one belonging to China – China National Gold Group.
"We're the only member on the World Gold Council (WGC) and we help to give more attention to our market. We introduced yuan-denominated gold products. If we keep at it, this would lift our voice," Song Xin, chairman of the China National Gold Group, said.
While the vision is lofty, Song stressed "prudent is best" for Chinese gold enterprises – having "a clear strategy and talent reserves" before taking the first step.
"China Gold is 'going out'. We've also introduced international talent to be technical support. They understand global rules and reserves calculation. We need a clear strategy and talent reserves to go out, to ask whether the project is reliable, what are the problems with the investment environment," Song noted.
According to WGC's data, global production of gold in the first half of 2017 has dropped 10 percent year-on-year to 2,098 tons, and demand in the same period has declined 14 percent year-on-year to 2,002 tons.
While some are concerned that the gold market might not be so hot as before, Song insisted on his positive forecast, elaborating that "the supporting factors for gold prices traditionally are geopolitical tensions, oil and CPI. Our mid-long term forecast is positive. Because judging by CPI factors, gold price isn't even at 1980s levels."
Rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, which bolstered demand on gold as one of the safe-haven assets, also proved his optimistic prediction. The price of gold even touched 1,346.25 U.S. dollars an ounce on September 7, the highest since last September.
Besides, Song is confident that gold can still be a safe haven asset in the future, and could help with yuan's globalization.
"I personally think that's possible. International central banks place a lot of emphasis on reserves. The U.S. still has 8,133 tons of gold. They didn't touch it even during the global financial crisis. The council members of the UN also have lots of reserves. From the perspective of yuan globalization, you need lots of gold reserves," Song explained.

biographyBorn Alexander Barker Jr. in New York on May 8, 1919, Lex Barker came from a wealthy family that didn't think too much of performing artists. Therefore, in the early 1940s when Barker decided to drop out of Princeton to become an actor, his family practically disowned him. Although he was spotted by 20th Century-Fox talent scouts and was offered a contract, Barker enlisted in the Armed Forces during World War II, as many other actors had done. After the war, the talented Barker attempted to resume his acting career and began landing small roles in good films. But he would have to wait for stardom until 1949, when producer Sol Lesser selected Lex Barker, after screening hundreds of actors to replace Johnny Weissmuller, for the title role in Tarzan's Magic Fountain.

LEFT and CENTER: Studio photos of Lex Barker. RIGHT: With third wife Lana Turner in a photo taken right after their 1953 marriage
With the Tarzan series behind him, Barker's film career began to stall; the rise of television had erased many roles for the handsome leading man. He made a dozen or so pictures, including several westerns, between 1954 and 1958---the best of these includes The Girl in the Kremlin (1957; with Zsa Zsa Gabor) and Female Fiends (1958; with Lisa Gastoni and Joe Robinson). Lex Barker's career got a second wind in 1958, when he began making films in Europe, a move that saw his popularity explode once again. He was especially successful in Germany, where he made many films in several popular series. In the early 1960s, Barker was hailed as the best foreign actor in Germany.
Married five times, Barker's two most famous wives were Arlene Dahl (1951-52) and Lana Turner (1953-57). With his first wife, Constanze Thurlow, Barker had a son and daughter, but that union ended in 1950. His fourth wife, Irene Labhardt, bore Barker a son, Christopher, in 1960 (Christopher Barker is now an actor). Sadly, Labhardt died suddenly in 1962. By 1965, Barker married again, this time to Maria del Carmen Cervera, but this relationship soured quickly.

Tragically, Barker died suddenly of an apparent heart attack on the streets of Manhattan on May 11, 1973, at the age of 54. He was survived by his estranged fifth wife, a daughter, and two sons.

Yes, I've been away from the old blog for a good, long month. After all the chaos I just needed to not document how I feel and just try to shake things off & reload.
There's much to be said, however it will all have to wait because this post is about two very fun words: Dapper Day. Now that I've finally caved and bought a Disneyland pass again I could attend! (Although I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to plan my whole evening out.)
I ended up getting to Disneyland rather late (parking was an absolute nightmare) but what festivities I did take part in were fun indeed.
I was excited to find an excuse to wear my grandmother's stole, it's hard to get away with fur almost anywhere in Southern California. I ended up being a bit too much of a sleepy mess, but now I cannot wait till Spring!
Dapper Day is a bi-annual event that takes place at both Disneyland, California and Walt Disney World, Florida.

Job Description for Barrister
While the term "barrister" is often used interchangeably with "lawyer" or "attorney" in the United States, there remains a specialization (in other English-speaking countries, such as the U.K.) in the function and work of a barrister. In these countries, the barrister is typically the lawyer who presents evidence in a court in front of a judge and/or jury and assists in negotiating settlements and plea bargains.Read More...
In countries and jurisdictions where the term "barrister" carries a distinct connotation, they form one general classification of legal representatives, while solicitors comprise the other. Generally, clients will enlist the services of a solicitor, who will then engage a barrister if his/her courtroom services are needed. Thus, most barristers contract their work through the referrals of solicitors, though there are exceptions.
Most barristers tend to work as their own private contractors and make their services available through a system of shared space or chambers through which the referrals to represent clients are garnered. The barrister then takes on one-on-one consultation with the client and advises him/her regarding legal rights, options, and possible outcomes, and then represents that client in court and in all settlement and plea negotiations.
To work as a barrister, an individual should have a post-graduate degree in jurisprudence from an accredited university and have passed all accreditation examinations in the jurisdiction in which he/she will practice. Many barristers network through existing firms and solicitors, though some companies and corporations retain the on-staff services of barristers to represent their companies in legal and civil matters. Barristers typically work in office and courtroom environments during traditional business hours. (Copyright 2019 PayScale.com)
