Ever since I grabbed ye olde flex builder for linux, I've been get jiggy with some ActionScript.
I did a few things with papervision, but nothing ready to show.
Here are some observations on…
AS3 weird stuff
I'm pretty used to Java these days, so the AS3 class layout was a little weird to me:
package my.package.name { import flash.stuff.and.or.junk; public class Funzone extends Zone { private var x:int; public function Funzone() { } public function fu( n:Number ) : int { return 1; } public function gu() : void { } } }
Fer starters, the whole thing is inside a package xyz { } wrapper. If you put something there, the .as file (and it has to have the .as extension of mxmlc will ignore freak), it has to be inside some sorta java-ishy directory nesting and you have to figure out the args to mxmlc >.<
Or you can leave it blank… and keep it in pwd… and compile it directly with mxmlc… yeah… I know…
Look at the weird way the imports go inside the package stanza… ok, maybe not that weird…
The class definition (and if it extends another class) is nice and familiar.
Variable definitions are in the form of: (private|protected|public)? var name:type
Which is why the functions (cleverly marked as such in case you might confuse them for hamburgers) have that quirky colon return type look… Except for the constructor…
It's a little different, but it looks pretty reasonable… not like ruby/perl/python…
Anyhooo… nuff said? Oh, you can compile it like so: mxmlc Funzone.as , as usual, the filename needs to match the classname and have the ".as" extension…
So, lez…
SoundMixer it up!
One thing people seem to find neat is sound visualization, so I thought it might be something fun to cut my teeth on.
I found a couple of pretty cool posts about using SoundMixer.computeSpectrum and thought… neat!
Those guys go into mechanics of it and there's really not a whole lot to it. The only real improvement I made was to drive it all of the "Event.ENTER_FRAME" event handler.
inherit the drawSpectrum method
The original class I made to visualize it up was Souvouzou, the method which ultimately does the per fram drawing looks like this:
public function drawSpectrum( graphics:Graphics, byteArray:ByteArray ) : void { graphics.clear(); graphics.lineStyle( 0, 0x0000FF ); graphics.beginFill( 0x0000FF ); var w:int = 2; for ( var i:int = 0; i < 512 ; i += w ) { var n:Number = ( byteArray.readFloat() * 256 ) + 1; graphics.drawRect( i, 256, w, -n ); } }
Which is pretty much copied from the example, but by breaking it out into a separate method, it was pretty easy to override it in Magnozou where I got a little more jiggy with it:
public class Magnozou extends Souvouzou { // .... public override function drawSpectrum( graphics:Graphics, byteArray:ByteArray ) : void { this.fade(); this.magnitudes( byteArray ); graphics.clear(); this.drawHits( graphics ); this.drawHats( graphics ); this.drawMags( graphics ); }
It's a little more in the flavor of the olde fadey, jumping hat thing of yesteryear with some nutty laser light show…
Notice the sly override, if you forget it, don't worry! mxmlc will remind you… 😀
Error: Overriding a function that is not marked for override.
Thanks! I almost left off the handy "override" keyword! What a mess that would have been!!!
weird AS3 variable scoping
Another really weird thing about AS3 is that it appears that variable scoping is per function rather than per code block.
Which is weird! It means stuff like this:
public function noworkie() : void { for ( var i:int = 0; i < 512 ; i++ ) { } for ( var i:int = 0; i < 512 ; i++ ) { } }
will get a saddy face like:
Warning: Duplicate variable definition.
and you can do weird stuff like this:
public function noworkie() : void { for ( var i:int = 0; i < 512 ; i++ ) { var n:int = 12; } n++; }
which is REALLY weird!!! X-D
AS3 is weird
It is weird! But despite it's few quirks, it's a pretty usable language. The mxmlc compiler seems really slow…
It also seems really quirky.
Once I get the real directory structure / package / mxmlc straightened out I'll post it.
BTW, don't ferget, you can still write in Haxe, have it generate the AS3 and compile that with mxmlc… the big advantage of that is Haxe's cool dynamic type inferencing, and it can also translate yer code to Javascript too…
I'm just saying… there are alway alternatives

April 25th, 2012 | By Nick SargenAfter a period of unusual calm, financial markets have become more volatile of late in the wake of a disappointing March employment report and renewed tensions in Europe. However, there is a prominent issue on the horizon that has not yet captured the markets' attention -- namely, the prospect of a $500 billion fiscal shock that could occur next year if Congress and the President do not alter scheduled tax hikes and spending cuts.
This issue is certain to attract investor interest as the November elections approach, as the outcome will have a critical bearing on the course that is pursued. While we are not making any changes to our investment portfolios until the outcome is clearer, we are examining the most likely possibilities and assessing their implications.
My interest in this topic was heightened by a recent commentary (April 16, 2012) by Jim Glassman, a friend and first rate economist with JPMorgan Chase & Co. In describing the situation, Jim uses the metaphor a fiscal meteor shower that is speeding to the economy and which will strike on January 1, 2013 if Congress and the President do nothing to divert its path:
"Left unchecked, the blow to the economy – amounting to about a $500 billion shock, or at least 3 percent of GDP – almost certainly would drive it into recession. The convergence of expiring tax cuts, waning fiscal stimulus spending, draconian (sequestration-related) spending cuts to defense outlays, and new taxes to pay for expanded healthcare coverage, along with the perennial need to index the Alternative Minimum Tax code for inflation and postpone steep cuts in payments to doctors for Medicare services, is pure happenstance. It is the result of divided government in recent years that has resulted in temporary actions to support the economy."
While most investors are aware of some, if not all, of these pending developments, they have been very restrained thus far. However, Federal Reserve policy makers have begun to take note of the situation, and they included an explicit discussion in the March FOMC minutes. As a result, market commentators are beginning to pay more attention to it, as well.
Considering that few economic forecasters are predicting a recession in 2013, Glassman asks why they are relatively sanguine about this predicament. His answer is that forecasters are assuming that the government (even a divided government) will act rationally and find some way around some of the draconian spending cuts and tax increases: "After all, allowing tax relief to 'sunset' would be a nightmare for both Democrats and Republicans, let alone for the economy." At the same time, it is far from clear what type of compromise will be reached, and the outcome could dictate the direction of the stock market later this year and into 2013.
Below is a list of pending actions – what Glassman calls "The Fiscal Meteor Shower" -- that could occur without new legislation:
Investors have not reacted to these developments thus far, mainly because they assume action will be taken to extend expiring deadlines and to soften the blow from abrupt changes in spending after the election. After all, it is in neither side's interest to create conditions for an abrupt decline in demand that could send the economy into a tailspin. That said, it is also clear there are fundamental differences between the two parties on how to proceed.
The most important issue for the markets will be whether the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire if President Obama is re-elected, or whether a major overhaul of the federal government occurs if Governor Romney wins the presidency and the Republican Party gains control over both houses of Congress. If the tax cuts lapse, the impact on the stock market could be significant, because the top federal dividend tax rate would rise from 15% to 43.4% in 2013, while the tax rate on capital gains would increase from 15% to 20%. Most experts presume some form of compromise will be reached to lessen the disparity in tax rates, but this also presumes politicians will do the right thing.
Should the current political stalemate be maintained, there is also a specter of a replay of the budgetary impasse that occurred last August that resulted in Standard & Poors downgrading U.S. treasury debt. This time, the outcome could be more problematic, as both Moody's and Fitch have indicated they will reassess the U.S. credit rating after the elections.
The most favorable outcome, to be sure, would be an agreement to reform the entitlement programs – especially Medicare and Medicaid – to make them actuarially sound: According to the Congressional Budget Office, projected outlays for these programs and Social Security will reach 18.4% of GDP – the historic average outlays for all government programs – by 2050 without any modifications to these programs. In order to achieve such an agreement, it is widely acknowledged that entitlement reform needs to be paired with reform of the tax code that would broaden the tax base and enable marginal tax rates to be lowered. This is the essence of the Simpson-Bowles proposal that was commissioned by President Obama.
Unfortunately, while the solution to the nation's long-term fiscal imbalance is widely understood by experts, the two parties have lacked willingness to compromise, and it is unclear they will do so in the future.
Knowing all of this, the logical question is "what should a rational investor do?" My answer: Nothing right now, because it is hard to handicap the election outcome, and even more difficult to know what type of compromise will be reached.
In addition, investors need to assess what news is priced into markets, especially for high dividend paying stocks. Based on HOLT's analysis, the derived market discount rate currently is elevated, but not super-high. If no tax increase is priced in and one occurs, HOLT estimates the downside for the broad market could be in the vicinity of 10%, with high dividend paying stocks faring somewhat worse.
If this assessment is correct, the question boils down to whether an investor is prepared to tolerate a 10%-15% principal hit to a dividend portfolio in the event the Bush tax cuts are allowed to lapse. We are not altering our investment strategy at this time for the reasons stated, but we will be monitoring political developments closely because the stakes are high.

moral murder?

Question ID: 777814
If you accept Bill Gate's premise that $100 can save a life in the developing world, and if you subscribe to the conventional morality that it is justifiable to take a life in order to save many lives, would there be anything wrong with killing your old aunt, inheriting her million dollars and donating $300 of the money to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
Re: moral murder?
Answered By: pafalafa-ga on 28 Oct 2006 15:32 PDT
Oh, all right, jeraboo-ga. I'll answer your @$#%*& question, though I'm rather expecting a fairly lengthy round of clarification requests. >>tell me if you would give the kids the life preserver<< If the life preserver were mine to give, then I'd probably toss it to the kids, rather than to your aunt. But if your aunt had the life preserver, and you're asking if I'd yank it away from her to save the kids, then....yikes! I expect that I wouldn't, unless the three kids were my kids, in which case all bets are off. But in truth, I don't know what I'd do. It's that kind of 'Sophie's Choice' sort of situation where (a) there are no good choices, and (b) a person's moral compass doesn't offer much help, and (c) one never knows quite what they'd do until they're forced with confronting the situation. >>why my analogy is flawed?<< Up to now, I haven't said your analogy is flawed. I merely said you would be committing murder, and would undoubtedly be arrested, tried and convicted of doing so. But since you asked, then, yes...I think your analogy is quite flawed. I think the main flaw is this: If you feel that more money from wealthy people should be redistributed to poor people to save lives, then there are numerous morally teneable options to pursue to bring this about, other than killing your aunt: --you can redistribute your own money, instead of frittering it away at Google Answers --you can advocate for social changes, such as new taxes, or more foreign aid, or changes to policies at the World Bank, instead of offing your aunt (an option which potentially leverages billions rather than just a few hundred dollars) --at the very least, you could have stolen $300 from your aunt and made your donation, rather than taking her life in the process. A second flaw is that you seem to have reduced morality to a mere body count...it's OK to trade X lives for Y lives, as long as Y>X. The moral calculus is generally more complex than that. There are many other things that many other human beings consider important, valuable, moral and good. Among them are the rights of an individual to live their life, and the right to ownership of private property. You've rather cavalierly dismissed these as morally minor items, next to the moral righteousness of saving lives. But I would say it's hard to morally justify the taking of an individual's life -- or even the forceful taking of their property -- even when it could mean saving other lives. And the things that make it morally untenable are the things I mentioned already -- there are other options to pursue, and other moral goods to consider. Jonathan Swift once suggested we feed the poor people of the world by killing the *other* poor people, and serving them up as meals, and end poverty in the bargain by making the children's flesh a marketable commodity. And what's the flaw in that, you may ask...? Let me know your thoughts on all this. paf

From: tisme-ga on 28 Oct 2006 11:58 PDT
Conventional morality that it is justifiable to take a life in order to save many lives? I think this might be more accurately interpreted as the use of force to protect others from harm. I think your interpretation bends the commonly accepted principle of justifiable homicide. Also, how do you know the aunt wouldn't have given her million dollars to save 10,000 people the next day after the supposed murder was to have taken place? It all comes down to your personal standards but I don't buy that you have a valid argument here.
Re: moral murder?
From: jeraboo-ga on 28 Oct 2006 12:07 PDT
Would you agree that the use of lethal force to protect others from death is generally acceptable? In this case, the use of lethal force is against the aunt in order to protect children in the 3rd world from death. Morally, is there anything worse here than the President ordering the air force to shoot down a 737 full of innocent passengers heading towards the world trade center? Also, the aunt was going to leave the money to her cats.
Re: moral murder?
From: tisme-ga on 28 Oct 2006 12:18 PDT
There is a big difference with shooting down a 737 full of innocent passengers heading toward the world trade center to save thousands and intentionally killing an innocent aunt. One aspect of this difference is that other options are available.
Re: moral murder?
From: jeraboo-ga on 28 Oct 2006 12:25 PDT
But by killing my aunt and saving 3 lives (or a net 2 lives) haven't I made the world a better place that someone who doesnt kill their aunt but lets those two kids die of smallpox?

Re: moral murder?
From: keystroke-ga on 28 Oct 2006 12:52 PDT
Let's say $100 can save a life. But is it a good life? Maybe your aunt was a philanthropist. Maybe she was a piano teacher who had 3 or 4 little kids that she gave lessons to every week whose lives she really affected and would be devastated by her murder. Maybe there were even just a few people she saw every week who were happy to see her face on a weekly basis. Out of the particular kids in Africa that are saved from smallpox by that $300, maybe one of them grows up to be the president of that African country and turns around and kills thousands of people in a mass genocide. Did you really save anyone? Even if one of those kids turns around and kills only three people, you're down for the count in the numbers game. You could just convince your aunt to donate $300 to the Gates Foundation, or "adopt" one of those children for $30 a month. That might be a bit easier and get the job done just as well! Also, if this was done, you'd have to prepare yourself for someone coming along and killing you for your money to donate $300 to the Gates Foundation.
Re: moral murder?
From: jeraboo-ga on 28 Oct 2006 13:21 PDT
keystroke-ga, if you were given the choice to increase or decrease the rate of vaccinations for smallpox in Africa, which would you choose? If you choose to decrease it, you must agree that the $300 donation would be desireable. Even without being able to predict the unintended consequences, I'm sure you'd still consider the donation desireable right now. If your philosophy is that the results of any action cannot be predicted because of the unintended consequences factor going off into infinity, then killing my aunt would have no more moral signifigance from a utilitarian standpoint than changing the channel on my tv set or brushing my hair. BTW, the aunt in question is a bitter old codger with no friends, universally despised by her family. In addition, her quality of life is very low. While $1 million brings her very little pleasure, it could make all of my dreams come true and solve all of my problems. I'd be adding net happiness into the world. And helping the kids of course. Will my self enrichment bother those saved children?

i assume that after you pull this off, you would agree that someone else would have a moral right to kill you, steal all your money, and donate another $300 to bill gates? -cab

i agree this is true whether i killed her or not.
Re: moral murder?
From: pafalafa-ga on 28 Oct 2006 13:52 PDT
jeraboo-ga, With everyone else sounding off, I figure I might as well add my 2 cents as well. You seem to be looking for some indisputable argument for or against your proposition. But morality doesn't work that way. At one time or another, all sorts of things considered reprehensible have been routinely accepted by societies -- slavery, murder, persecution, genocide, torture (the last of which seems to be making a comeback!). What eventually made these things immoral was the collective judgement of society. That same collective judgement is pretty unambiguous when it comes to you killing your aunt. It would be deemed murder most foul, and you would be arrested, tried, convicted, and locked up for a good long time. Might that social judgment be different in, say, a hundred years? Perhaps. Our morality changes all the time...just think about the acceptability/unacceptability of things like apartheid, abortion, capital punishment, gay marriage, euthanasia. Who knows...we might one day look back on our meat eating days as the height of moral outrageousness! But as things now stand, the answer to your question seems quite clear. Your scenario is murder, plain and simple. pafalafa-ga
Re: moral murder?
From: jeraboo-ga on 28 Oct 2006 14:13 PDT
I'm not asking if killing my Aunt would be illegal or if the majority of American's would deem it immoral. I know the answers to those questions. I'm just asking if it would be wrong to do it. Actually, how can you morally justify not doing it? If somebody is drowning and you don't toss them a life preserver, that is tantamount to drowning them yourself. Inaction has consequences. The kids who need vaccine are analagous to the drowning swimmer. Picture 3 kids treading water together, without much time left. Now picture my aunt (hopefully not in a bathing suit) treading water. There's only one life preserver. My aunt's a big woman and needs the entire life preserver just to keep her afloat. All 3 kids can survive with it. I know what all of you guys would do. You'd take it from her and toss it to the kids. You just killed her to save the kids. And don't complicate this with the "they might grow up to be Hitler" argument or by saying, "just pull her into the boat". These are diversions to avoid the uncomfortable realization that every one of you would kill that lady. Now tell me how my scenario is different. Why, because the kids are thousands of miles away. Money, like the life preserver, is finite.

>>I'm not asking if killing my Aunt would be illegal...I'm just asking if it would be wrong to do it<< But illegal acts are the codification of what we -- collectively -- deem to be very wrong acts. If you're not willing to accept this collective moral judgement, then whose judgement are you looking for? Mine? If you want it, I'll glady give it to you and collect your fifteen bucks. paf

OK, you can charge it. But please tell me if you would give the kids the life preserver and also why my analogy is flawed?

Hello jeraboo-ga. You've posed an interesting and emotionally charged question. Recently I heard a discussion of the brain imaging studies by Joshua Greene on the subject of moral decision-making. I think his finding offer a lot of food for thought. Enjoy! ~ czh ~ http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~jgreene/ Joshua D. Greene Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, Harvard University I study moral decision-making using behavioral methods coupled with neuroimaging (fMRI). My research focuses on the interplay between emotional and "cognitive" processes in moral judgment. Moral Dilemmas and the "Trolley Problem" The moral dilemmas that I use in my experiments are often adapted from dilemmas devised by philosophers to probe our moral intuitions. The most famous example of these is the "Trolley Problem," which goes like this: A runaway trolley is hurtling down the tracks toward five people who will be killed if it proceeds on its present course. You can save these five people by diverting the trolley onto a different set of tracks, one that has only one person on it, but if you do this that person will be killed. Is it morally permissible to turn the trolley and thus prevent five deaths at the cost of one? Most people say yes. Now consider a slightly different dilemma. Once again, the trolley is headed for five people. You are on a footbridge over the tracks next to a large man. The only way to save the five people is to push this man off the bridge and into the path of the trolley. Is that morally permissible? Most people say no. These two cases create a puzzle for moral philosophers: What makes it okay to sacrifice one person for the sake of five others in the first case but not in the second case? But there is also a psychological puzzle here: How does everyone know (or "know") that it's okay to turn the trolley but not okay to push the man off the bridge? My collaborators and I have collected brain imaging data suggesting that emotional responses are an important part of the answer.

In response to answer: If the life preserver were yours to give, you'd give it to the kids. So the determining factor morally is who has property rights over the floaty?

"Who knows...we might one day look back on our meat eating days as the height of moral outrageousness!" As a vegetarian, I actually do look at meat-eating as moral outrageousness-- and murder, as do many other people. Jeraboo didn't say whether his aunt was a meat eater. If so, I believe a better case could be made for her death being justifiable... (Just kidding, folks!) Jeraboo, I don't believe that murder is wrong in all instances. If someone was coming at me in an attempt to kill me, I'd kill them first with no hesitation. Most people would agree that killing Hitler would not be a bad idea. The problem here is that there seem to be other ways to accomplish what you're after-- sending $300 to the Gates Foundation-- without killing your aunt.
Re: moral murder?
From: jeraboo-ga on 28 Oct 2006 17:34 PDT
All right, this "you have other alternatives" argument is becoming distracting so I'll tweak the scenario. I'm going to give $500,000 of the $1m inheritance to the foundation. And I'm not smart or industrious, so in my situation there is no other way to get a hold of that kind of money. Now, I'm saving 5000 kids the only way I know how. Now how can that be wrong? Or, as I said earlier, how could I live with myself if I didn't go through with it?
Re: moral murder?
From: myoarin-ga on 28 Oct 2006 19:46 PDT
Jeraboo, You have returned to the example of throwing the life ring, leaving out the active killing of your aunt, the original premise. Czh-ga has presented other examples of the moral/philosophical problem. As already pointed out, you cannot make an assumption about what your aunt might do with her money. If you were so convinced of your argument, you could probably threaten her with a drawn weapon into giving you the $300 or even more. If she still had her wits about her, she would question your good intentions and buy you off with a check to the Gates Foundation. If you were truly confinced of the validity of your argument, you would be able to persaude her to donate her money. You can't get at her 60 million by just killing her, you can only get the cash in the house, and you might well find that it is more prudent to use it to preserve your own life, which you probably value higher than that of two unknowns in the third world. Right? I mean, if you get run in immediately, you will never have the chance of donating the money, but if you use it to skip the border, maybe the cash gets used up, but you still have your good intention of donating $300 when you happen to have them again and can then donate them. Right? So why did you kill your aunt? Incidentally, one of the major moral philosophers, Immanuel Kant, said that there is absolutely never, NEVER a justification for taking another person's life, even in the much simpler case of saving someone else's life by killing the person threatening him.

The Bible can give you an answer on this. When the expensive oil was used on Jesus, Judas Escariot thought it would be better to sell the oil and give the funds to the poor. But Jesus chastised him and stated that the poor would always be there, but he, Jesus, would not. (Matthew 26:6-13) While Jesus happened to be in Beth?a�ny in the house of Simon the leper, 7�a woman with an alabaster case of costly perfumed oil approached him, and she began pouring it upon his head as he was reclining at the table. 8�On seeing this the disciples became indignant and said: ?Why this waste? 9�For this could have been sold for a great deal and been given to poor people.? 10�Aware of this, Jesus said to them: ?Why do YOU try to make trouble for the woman? For she did a fine deed toward me. 11�For YOU always have the poor with YOU, but YOU will not always have me. 12�For when this woman put this perfumed oil upon my body, she did it for the preparation of me for burial. 13�Truly I say to YOU, Wherever this good news is preached in all the world, what this woman did shall also be told as a remembrance of her.? Was Jesus being selfish?..No. He was giving credit the the administering woman. And she has been remembered. Also, the poor are catered for in that they will receive a resurrection and then can make a choice [ the judgement] whether they wish to obey Jesus [and ultimately Jehovah God] or not. There is a principal here. Jesus said...YOU MUST NOT MURDER. God himself will look after those suffering in the third worlds. And His knowledge is really getting out there. But most are taking no notice. (Matthew 24:37-39) For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38�For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39�and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.
Re: moral murder?
From: keystroke-ga on 07 Nov 2006 10:45 PST
The Bible quote I think is more of an admonition to those who would criticize: they could sell anything they had and give it to the poor any time they wanted and they probably hadn't, yet they were so quick to criticize that woman for not doing the same. We're probably all guilty of the same offense at one time or another!
Re: moral murder?
From: pavlik-ga on 10 Nov 2006 21:18 PST
What gives you the right to donate only $300 or only $500,000 of your aunt's money? If you truly believe that it's justifiable to kill one to save many, you should be saving as many as you can (by donating the entire million) otherwise you're killing her just for financial profit and using the "saving a life" scenario as a justification.

The story from
field to frozen
We start with our farmers who have grown our spuds, parsnips and carrots for us for many years. Mark and Rodger grow their carrots just a stone's throw from the factory.
Around March time we contact our growers with what volume we think we will need for the coming harvest, then they plant the seeds around March/ April time.
Throughout the growing season (summer) we work really closely with our growers to ensure we get the best processing crops available; we go and inspect the crops to look for quality and expected yields, we don't want to buy any crops which have been damaged by disease or suffered from pest damage.
We monitor and record all pesticide and herbicide applications on every crop. Crops such as carrots and potatoes require a lot of irrigation on lighter soils; in hot years like this one, they've drunk a lot!
When the crop is perfect to harvest we get them delivered directly from the farms in tractor pulled trailers… no need for lorries, it's only a couple of miles away.
When the dirty spuds, carrot, swede and parsnips arrive we record their weight and load number then take them to the back of the factory where the whole process starts. Firstly, we wash the veg…
…Then it goes through a giant peeler which also takes out any stones and dirt as well as taking off the skin.
From here the whole peeled veg then goes inside the factory by conveyor where it is diced, chopped or sliced.
The veg is then blanched, screened by an optical sorter and instantly quick frozen before it is packed with a traceability label and put into our cold store ready to be sold to the customer.

Imago Natural Modelling Wax is made from all natural materials,
beeswax made by bees, lanolin from sheep's wool and lime flour
(CaCO3) is what shells are made of.
It comes in boxes of 500 gr containing 30 little pieces that fit easily in a child's hand to be warmed up to soften and played with. It is made in a neutral beige colour, its natural colour, and not dyed. This stimulates children's (and our own) imagination, and the wax can be turned into anything, a flower, any animal, a house, a person…. with no colour predetermining what it should become. This kind of play will stimulate the faculty of building inner pictures and imaginations. Like a piece of wood can at one time be a car, another time a dog and later part of a landscape… and, so this neutral plasticine can stimulate free play and an endless variety of imaginations when it is reused over and over again.
Because it is made with beeswax and lanolin, the modelling wax will harden when it is cold. To soften it, you can use the warmth of your hands while kneading it. If that is not warm enough, you can put it in the sun, use a warm wheat bag or put it close to a (preferably natural) source of warmth. If it gets too hot, it will melt, but don't worry, when cooling down it will harden again.
After you have enjoyed playing with it, it may leave a film on your hands. This is the beeswax and lanolin and it will get absorbed by the skin in a little while. Washing with warm water and detergent will get it off too, but then you missed the opportunity to soften those hands.
Cost: $18/box plus postage

(Woodland, CA) February 26, 2018 - District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced that on Tuesday, February 20, the Honorable David Rosenberg found 34-year-old Woodland man Rene Nicolas Munoz guilty of 17 Counts of Rape of a Minor, 21 Counts of Child Molestation, 38 Counts of Statutory Rape, Possession of Child Pornography, Sodomy and Forcible Sexual Penetration in a court trial.
The victim testified that her family and the Mr. Munoz' family were family friends since she was 11 or 12 years old. Mr. Munoz' significant other had a son the same age as the victim. Mr. Munoz also had two children of his own. When the victim started her freshman year at age 14 at high school in Woodland, she and Mr. Munoz, who was 29, began having sex at different locations around Woodland starting around Thanksgiving 2012. They would often text and call each other multiple times per day. Mr. Munoz would film them having sex as well as himself naked and they would share the videos with each other. The relationship continued throughout the victim's entire freshman and sophomore years. Mr. Munoz had on occasion, asked the victim to have her teenage friends engage in sex with them as well in return for money.
Starting in her junior year of high school, the victim no longer wanted to be with Mr. Munoz but instead wanted to date boys her own age. Mr. Munoz would not allow her to be in any other relationships and often sent her text messages that would threaten the life of boys he believed her to be with. Mr. Munoz convinced the victim he was a violent gang member and had killed people in the past. The victim stayed with Mr. Munoz out of fear that he would hurt her or others she was with.
In February of her senior year, the victim received information that Mr. Munoz was on his way to her house with garbage bags to dispose of her body and she called 911. Woodland Police Department responded to find Mr. Munoz outside of her home. Mr. Munoz was able to convince the police that he was not a threat and he was released. Detectives at Woodland Police Department spent hours investigating the forensic evidence from the three year relationship which showed the threatening nature of the relationship that had prevented the victim from reporting Mr. Munoz's crimes. Police found information during the investigation that was consistent with the victim's version of events and nature of the relationship.
Mr. Munoz testified in his own defense, pointing to his community ties including his years of coaching for the Cal Ripken Youth Baseball Organization in Woodland, his longstanding relationship with his girlfriend and as his role as a father. He admitted to being in the unlawful relationship with the victim but blamed the victim for trapping him in the relationship.
When rendering his verdict, the Judge Rosenberg stated that he found the victim credible, honest and forthright and that Mr. Munoz was less than credible. Judge Rosenberg noted that the victim trusted the Defendant and that in the eyes of the law, she is a child. Mr. Munoz is facing over 100 years in state prison and will have to register as a sex offender. He will be sentenced on April 20, 2018.

Let's talk about accessibility
HUSC hosts its first accessibility fair.
May 2, 2018
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Hamline Undergraduate Student Congress (HUSC) is staying true to their resolution to improve accessibility on our campus. They hosted their first accessibility fair on Apr 26. The fair was a part of HUSC's ongoing efforts to increase awareness about the lack of accessibility on campus. The fair speeches were given by HUSC president Sara Antony, Director of Disability Services, Steve Anderson, president-elect Liam Temple and Disability Representative Collin Hopkins. Hopkins led the speeches and gave insight into how the focus on accessibility came to be.
"I tried to find networks to talk about disability on our campus and I realized that most of our networks weren't there," Hopkins said. "So I said hey, let's start the conversation. Let's talk about accessibility. Let's talk about the struggles that our peers experience everyday… let's make our campus better, FOR EVERYONE."
The fair included tables that focused on informing students about the difference accessibility issues. The goal was to encourage student to think about where and how they navigate campus during their everyday schedules. Students were encouraged to sign a pledge to accessibility that read: By signing, you pledge to contribute to making Hamline University a more accessible campus and think where you eat, play, live, learn, study, move and "go". Students are encouraged to use #accesshamline when they see an accessibility issue on campus to increase awareness and play a role in as Hopkins said making "our campus better for everyone."

Speaker: The question is, 'Why do I find myself unable to trust?'
I could see that he was feeling a little awkward while raising this question, even a little apologetic. You feel that maybe there is something in wrong with you that you find yourself unable to trust but let me just tell you, you are a very honest being when you say that you can't trust. The fact of the matter is that there are very few people on this entire earth who are not living in insecurity, who are not living in doubt. When you say,"I can't trust" you mean that your mind is full of doubts, apprehensions but then so is everybody else's mind. Do you think that everybody else in this auditorium is free of concerns, free of doubts? Not really. The truth is far from that. And the proof is that we are always insecure. We are always hunting for security. We are always looking for something that would give us that elusive sense of safety. If everybody is looking for that, that means everybody is insecure. Everybody is doubtful.
So, first thing is that take this out of your mind that this situation is particular to you. Everybody is facing this situation. This is what is making life such a tedious affair. This question is not only your question, this situation is everybody's situation. It is just that only a few people realize it and out of those who realize, only a few are honest enough to speak of it.
Now we will go into the reasons of this 'trust deficit'. What do we mean by trust? What do we mean by trust?
Trust can take two forms. First is 'belief' and the second is 'Faith'.
Since childhood, our mind has been filled with beliefs. Are you getting it? What is a belief? A belief is something that you have accepted without knowing or understanding. It is an external imposition. It comes from outside and you take it in. It is not really a product of your intelligence. You have just internalized it. That's what a belief is. We all just keep believing. We don't know, we don't understand, we just keep believing. And that is the form of our 'trust'. When you usually say, "I trust you", all you say is – "I believe you". Or, "I believe in a particular aspect of you". That's what you mean. Belief is hollow. Belief is borrowed. Belief will never give you that conviction which makes the mind doubt-free. Howsoever much you 'try' to believe, doubt will always remain. You may keep trying to believe but that belief will have no conviction, no energy behind you. Are you getting it?
Take a small, simple matter. Since childhood, have we all not been told to not to speak lies, to not to hurt others, to respect people, to be loving, to be kind? Have we not been told? Have we not been told to believe that 'one reaps what one sows'? But still you will find that the world is full of liars, cheats, thugs, violent people and rapists. Don't you find that?And every kid has been told by his parents to be 'good' and 'kind' and 'nice' and this and that,still there are violent people all around? but why is the world still full of crime and violence?
Because the child never understood it for himself. The child was just told to believe in goodness, in God, in ethics, in a certain morality. The child was told, "We are giving it to you, youtake it and believe that it is true." And the child is helpless, dependent and he can do no better than to take it and internalize it.The result is that we may all keep on saying that goodness is a virtue but in our heart of hearts, we all believe that the world is a crooked place. Don't we? It has always been taught to us that goodness is a virtue but at the same time we have a deep internal belief in the crookedness and wickedness of the mankind. Don't we have this belief? Don't we know for ourselves? Haven't we seen that the wicked ones succeeds? From where do these phrases come, "That good people finish last."From where do they come? That is the state of the world because none of our beliefs are our own. They all are all borrowed, they all are imported. They all have been implanted into us.
Whenever you would want to trust on the basis of belief, then your trust would be hollow. Despite your best efforts you will find that you cannot trust.
There is another trust that comes from totally different source. We'll go into that. That's where value lies. That other trust comes from your own knowing, from your own inquiry. And when you know it that way, then doubt does not remain. Then that truth discovered by you, is entirely yours. Even if the whole world says,"This is not right, this is not correct, not a single doubt will come to your mind. Let the entire world tell you that you are wrong, still you will not doubt about what you found out because you found it out on your own. And when you find it out on your own, what you get is Faith.
Faith is the result of direct knowing. Faith comes from your own intelligence. Faith is not borrowed. You cannot take Faith from somebody. You can take beliefs from somebody. You cannot take knowing from somebody. When you know it on your own, then trust is automatic. And that trust is so deep that it cannot be taken away. So, if you find that there is absence of trust in your life, then just realize that you are full of beliefs, that your life is full of beliefs. Realize that you have not bothered to live in your intelligence.
Are you getting it?
Let me give an example. There is this room. If there is a man who cannot really see on his own, he will have to be dependent on others and he will have to believe what others tell him. He will have to believe you when you tell him that you can walk thirty steps right, down this hall, and then take a right turn, walk another ten steps and you will get the door. What can the poor fellow can do? He has no option but to believe you. Beliefs come from others and a certain doubt will remain in his mind. The blind man's steps will still be shaky because he is not using his own eyes. Lot of questions will arise in his mind. "Well, they said take thirty steps down this hall, what do they mean? Thirty big steps or thirty small steps?They said, keep walking straight down, am I really walking straight down or has my path become a little angular, a little tangential?"
Are you getting the drift of it? Doubts will keep coming to his mind because he is just believing. On the contrary, there is the man with his own eyes and his own ability to see and understand. Does he need to believe? If he wants to get out, what will he do? He will use his eyes and find out. This finding out is the action of intelligence. You don't need to believe, but unfortunately our minds are just full of beliefs. We have not found out. We're acting like the blind men and the tragedy is, we have our own eyes.A blind man can't do better than that, he'll have to be dependent. But you have your own eyes and still you are dependent on others. And then is it a wonder that you cannot trust? Obviously what is borrowed cannot be trusted fully. Only your own can be trusted fully.That which you have found out on your own, only that can be trusted fully. And that trust is called Faith, which comes from your own knowing.
Are you getting it?
Take a few examples, you all have been taught something about 'God' and most of us would be coming from families that have taken to a certain religion and who believe in some kind of idea about God. But don't you have doubts upon God, so often? One who has really known God becomes totally free of fear. And you find that you are always full of insecurity. In your heart of hearts, you know that this 'God' is nothing but a concept that has been given to you. You've never found it out.
Similarly there are words like Love, life, career, success, education, words that are so central to your lives and you're always in doubt about these, aren't you? You're confused. Don't you find yourself confused, often? You find yourself confused because you have never bothered to enquire on your own. What really is the meaning of this word 'Love'? What does one mean by 'Work' and 'Career'? Somebody told you a few things and you took them. And different people have been telling you different things. And there are so many doubts. We're always confused. For two days, we believe in one thing, after two days, something else.
Are you getting it?
All that confusion is because there are so many external sources that are exercising their influence on our mind and we have just become obedient slaves, who take those things in. You don't need to trust at all. If you find yourself unable to trust don't even try to trust. Try to find out, try to enquire and then there will be no need to trust. "Why do I need to trust? I know." When you know, do you need to trust? So, don't trust. Find out. Know. And then you will find that trust comes like a shadow. Don't try to force yourself to believe.
Does that give a little clarity? The rest will come only in the light of your own intelligence.

Llanfair Clydogau
South of Tregaron, Llanfair Clydogau is a small peaceful village set in beautiful countryside on either side of the Teifi. The bridge was used by Fenton on his tour of 1804. The village was once more industrial. In 1833, the population was 385 and Samuel Lewis wrote of the local mine:
"A valuable mine of lead-ore, containing a considerable proportion of silver, and in which also are found quartz, spar, and a small quantity of copper-ore, has been worked for the last twenty years with considerable success, though in dry seasons during that period the works have been frequently suspended from want of water sufficient to give motion to the machinery employed: these works are at present carried on at a depth of two hundred and fifty feet below the surface, and offer sufficient encouragement for the continuance of the operations : the average produce of this mine, which is the property of Lord Carrington, is twenty-five tons of ore per annum, each ton of which contains upon an average from seventy-five to eighty ounces of pure silver."

Who's THEM
Our Staff
David Mandala, Principal
Mandala is results-driven entrepreneurial leader with significant experience in Open Source and Linux. More then 40 years' experience, including six start-ups. It has become apparent to him that with the creation of low cost Internet connected devices that security for small businesses has become much harder and it's a poorly served area. He decided to establish Secured by THEM to address this need.
Mandala's background includes actively building the next generation of disruptive technologies: developed large communities on the web long before the web became dynamic, gps tracking years before it's become a commodity, led the development of Ubuntu ARM, and deployed the first ARM servers and ARM clouds. He feels strongly that now is the time to utilize Open Source technologies to develop low cost methods of network and business security priced at a level that small businesses can afford it.
In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife, children and dogs, drinking fine wine, coming up with new applications and reading. But lets admit it, he's purely focused on Secured by THEM at the current time so, there's not much free time these days!
Michael Casadevall, Director of Engineering
Based in New York City, Casadevall has spend more then 10 years working in the embedded ARM space and he is an accomplished IT engineer on both Linux and Windows systems. His experience in networked devices, and previous IoT projects helped develop the Network Data Recorder, and the underlying logic used to scan and investigate devices on the network. His experience with Windows has helped develop the methods required to secure and lock down devices essential to the operation of a business.
In his free time, he frequently travels aboard, reads, and engages in photography in some of the most interesting locales around the world.

Serene, mellow, freespirited. Not necessarily words you would associate with a shopping experience. But the Department Store for the Mind is a retail experience that calms things by putting empathy at its heart.
They curate their products, which include branded notebooks, household items and jewellery, to suit your mental and emotional state. Whether you're feeling creative, caring, wired or unhinged.
The idea came from Sophie Howarth who's worked on developing emotional intelligence at The School of Life. Howarth explains how customers' emotional needs are often obfuscated by the bottom line of business. As an online space, Department Store for the Mind puts these needs first, encouraging people to engage with the brand differently.
It's a self-reflective shopping experience that becomes an exercise in empathy.

The permit is valid for all pay and display bays in on-street areas (pdf, 10kb) within the CPZ and pay and display bays in city centre car parks at all times. Car parks on the periphery of the city centre that fall outside the CPZ and where a City Centre Business permit is not valid include Argyle Street; Blandford Square; Blandford Street East; Claremont Road; Leazes Park; Manors; Osborne Terrace; St Georges and Stadium.
The permit does not provide exemption in any other restricted use bays including Citypark permit bays in car parks, disabled bays, taxi bays, electric vehicle charging bays, motorcycle bays, loading bays, permit bays, bays suspended from use, permit bays in the OB3 or WG3 zones and no waiting restrictions (yellow lines and pedestrian zones).
Please note that this new permit type is currently only being issued on a trial basis whilst we fully evaluate the impact of introducing this permit on a permanent basis.
City Centre Business Permits cost £1000.00 for an annual permit. You have the option of spreading your payment across 10 monthly instalments of £100.00 per month.
How to apply
Please note that from Friday 15th July 2016 the Customer Service Centres are no longer able to process applications and requests for parking permits in person, including scratch card permits.

- Download an application form (pdf, 355kb) and the Terms and Conditions of Use of this permit type.
- Information regarding how your personal data may be collected, processed, shared and retained following your application for a permit can be found here.
What do I do if I lose my permit or it is stolen?
We require written notification from the actual permit holder that the permit has been lost or stolen, together with payment of an administrative charge of £10.00.
Apply online for a replacement permit – Online Form
The original permit will be revoked, so will no longer be valid for use. This means that if anyone finds your lost permit and tries to use it for their own use, the permit will be invalid and vehicles using it would be issued with Penalty Charge Notices. A replacement permit with a fresh reference number will be issued to you.
What happens if my circumstances change and I no longer require the permit?
The permit should be returned to Newcastle Parking Services, P.O. Box 2BL, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE99 2BL by recorded delivery/Royal Mail signed for. This provides proof of posting and receipt. We will then revoke your permit and depending on how you paid for the permit, calculate if you are due a refund for the unexpired portion or the reduced amount you owe on a payment plan.
What do I do if I change my vehicle?
The permit with your old vehicle registration number will not be valid for your new vehicle (unless you have retained the same number plate) so you should contact us as soon as possible on 0191 277 2728 to make arrangements for a replacement permit to be issued. There is an administration charge of £10.00 for amending the vehicle registration details on a parking permit.

Over the years I've seen more moose than deer on my commute into and out of Waterville Valley.
This summer has been different. I haven't seen any moose yet, but I have had four or five deer sightings and near misses with my car on Rt. 49.
A couple of weeks ago I witnessed a close call between deer and car that I wish I could have captured on video. I was driving into Waterville Valley at 8 in the morning and was about a half mile from town when I noticed a large deer standing on the west-bound side of Rt. 49. There weren't any cars behind mine, so I slowed down to a crawl in anticipation of the deer sprinting into the road in front of my car. Another car was rapidly approaching from Waterville, so I flashed my lights repeatedly to alert the driver to slow down and be cautious. I obviously got the driver's attention because he immediately slowed down, but he was still some distance away from the deer and my car.
It was like a stand-off. Two cars approaching and a deer standing in the gravel beside the road nervously twitching its tail. I slowly drove on past the deer, which thankfully didn't move.
As I approached and passed the oncoming car, I noticed the driver staring at me with a puzzled look; then, he hit the accelerator and took off. The car had out-of-state plates and I realized that the driver probably had no idea why I'd been flashing my headlights at him.
I slammed on my brakes and watched in my rear view mirror as the other car accelerated at break neck speed away from me and towards the deer. Oh no, I cried out, he's going to hit the deer. I stuck my head out the window and yelled at the guy to slow down…which I'm sure only served to confirm to the other driver that I was a raving lunatic.
It was like watching a movie in slow motion…a second or two seemed like many minutes as the other car bore down on the deer. And, just as I suspected would happen, the deer leaped into the road just as the car was beside it.
But a crazy thing happened – again, it was like something out of a movie – the deer jumped right over the car! His hoofs dragged across the trunk of the car, but the deer landed on all four legs, took a little hop, skip, and then skittered into the woods – apparently unharmed.
The unsuspecting driver slammed on his brakes and swerved into the other lane just a split second after the deer escaped the near collision.
The moral of this story is two-fold. Be alert for wildlife when you're driving on New Hampshire roads – especially at dawn and dusk. AND when a car is flashing its headlights at you, don't just assume it's warning you of a hidden police cruiser!
Here are some Interesting tidbits:
There are approximately 85,000 deer in New Hampshire
Deer are able to run up to 40 miles per hour
Deer can jump 9-foot fences
Deer can swim 13 miles per hour
New Hampshire designated the white-tailed deer as the state animal in 1983
There are approximately 6,000 moose in New Hampshire
The average moose weighs 1,000 pounds
Moose average 8-10 feet long, 5-7 feet tall at the shoulder and your headlights will often only reveal their legs
Don't count on seeing "eye shine" with moose (and some deer) – moose eyes do reflect light, but your headlights won't reach that high

Rüdesheim is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis district in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. The Drosselgasse (throttle alley) in Rüdesheim is a very narrow and about 144 m long, cobbled street, which is annually visited by three million people. Originally the building served as quarters for Rhine boatmen.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
