The Olympus Trip 35 film camera, which was produced from 1967 to 1984, works amazingly well for low-light photography using 400 ISO film. The automatic exposure will lock under low-light conditions, but in most cases you get a perfect exposure setting the camera to manual f2.8. The shutter will fire at 1/40 sec. giving you no problems hand-held. Here is an example taken in the food court at Union Railroad station in Washington DC.

Surf the net but I suggest you work with a spiritual healer or become and apprentice
Maybe you want to consider theology or philosophy.
The American Holistic Nurses Association has a listing of schools under the following categories:
Endorsed programs- http://www.ahna.org/edu/endorsed.html
Endorsed programs have passed process of peer review and have to keep to prescribed standards of training etc.
Approved programs- http://www.ahna.org/edu/approved.html
Approved programs are programs for nursing credentialing and continuing education.
The AHNA also offers scholarship and other financial assistance – http://www.ahna.org/edu/assist.html
Here are some schools that might be close to what you are looking for. I have heard positive things about the programs below but cannot speak from direct experience. As with any educational program a visit is a very useful aspect of any educational search:
Maharishi University
(you can find a list of programs at http://www.mum.edu/programs/welcome.html )

Family, friends helping family
When Steve Weber of rural Silver Lake went to a doctor because of a swollen knee in January 2016, he had no idea that it would be the trigger for the discovery of stage four cancer.
Weber said fluid around his knee was drained, and he was put on steroids for continuing treatment.
"After taking the steroid pills for two or three days, I started getting severe stomach cramps," said Weber. He went to the emergency room, and ended up in the hospital.
"Apparently, the steroids activated ulcers that I didn't even know I had," said Weber.
An endoscopy found two ulcers in his stomach. About a week later, the results of the endoscopy revealed that the ulcers were cancerous. Further tests revealed that the cancer also was in his colon as well.
Appointments were made at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester to determine treatment options. Five days of testing, including an endoscopy, MRI, laryngoscopic scan and more, revealed that the cancer was at stage four.
Weber said he well remembers doctors coming to his room to give him the news.
"They said, 'you're handling this pretty damn well,'" said Weber. "Well, you have to take it with a grain of salt. It is what it is. I said, 'there is no other way to take it.'"
Weber said he has tried — and still tries — to keep a positive attitude and meet his health issues head on.
His treatment protocol included 25 rounds of chemotherapy.
Up until this summer, Weber said, "I had been doing pretty well." But in June, he had trouble keeping food down, and more tests revealed that the cancer had closed off a portion of his colon and his stomach. Stents were put in to open the passages back up.
In August, Weber began having pain again, and it was discovered "that the tumor and grown right through the stent. And that's where we are right now — dealing with what comes next."
For more about Steve Weber, and the upcoming benefit, see the Oct. 11 print edition of The Chronicle.

The prevailing view of CO oxidation on gold-titanium oxide (Au/TiO2) catalysts is that the reaction occurs on metal sites at the Au/TiO2 interface. We observed dual catalytic sites at the perimeter of 3-nanometer Au particles supported on TiO2 during CO oxidation. Infrared-kinetic measurements indicate that O-O bond scission is activated by the formation of a CO-O2 complex at dual Ti-Au sites at the Au/TiO2 interface. Density functional theory calculations, which provide the activation barriers for the formation and bond scission of the CO-O2 complex, confirm this model as well as the measured apparent activation energy of 0.16 electron volt. The observation of sequential delivery and reaction of CO first from TiO2 sites and then from Au sites indicates that catalytic activity occurs at the perimeter of Au nanoparticles.

… Buhari will fulfill campaign promises – Party
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will fulfill his campaign promises to the Nigerians, beginning with the 2016 budget.
Reacting to the 2016 budget presentation by the President, the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun said the present administration's pro-people policies will be implemented full blast in 2016.
He said: "In fulfillment of APC's election promises to the Nigerian electorate, the party welcomes the proposed Social Welfare Programmes contained in the proposed 2016 National Budget submitted to the National Assembly. President Buhari has proposed N500 billion to pay unemployed Nigerian graduates (post-NYSC grant) and feed school children, amongst other social welfare programmes in 2016.
"A phased Social Welfare Programme created to cater for a larger population of the poorest and most vulnerable Nigerians upon the evidence of children's enrolment in school and evidence of immunization has also been proposed to the National Assembly.
"President Buhari has also promised that 500,000 new teachers would be recruited. Compared to the last 16 years of locust, Nigerians are getting a much better deal from the seven-month old APC-led administration. On the strength of these proposals, the future holds more dividends of democracy for Nigerians.
"It is reassuring that the federal government has recovered huge sums from looters of our common wealth, which will be injected into the 2016 National Budget."
While calling for the speedy passage of the budget, the APC said "as the National Assembly considers the proposed 2016 National Budget, the APC calls on members of the Senate and House of Representatives to rise above political, regional and ethnic sentiments and pass the proposed 2016 budget which is pro-people and in the overall best interest on Nigeria.
"The APC hails the very cordial working relationship between the 8th National Assembly and the executive arm of government, specifically the President."
Oyegun said by personally presenting the budget, President Buhari has demonstrated his commitment to Nigeria's constitutional democracy and the dictate of the rule of law and also highlighted the importance of building a smooth working relationship with the National Assembly.

Talk:Richard Condon/Draft
Small change to fix categories. Chris Day 19:36, 28 August 2008 (CDT)
Names in his books
"Throughout his life, Mr. Condon displayed a wry, even diabolical streak. He often named his characters after real people. For example, the characters in Raymond Shaw's infantry squad in "The Manchurian Candidate" were named for people associated with the Phil Silvers television show, "You'll Never Get Rich." His longest-running character, Dr. Weiler, was named after A. H. Weiler, a former film critic for The Times. In various Condon novels, Dr. Weiler turns up as an obstetrician, a cardiologist, a psychiatrist and the royal physician." Hayford Peirce 02:29, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
references to the Condon cult
- as late as the 1969 NYT review of Mile High at http://select.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F0081EFB3A5910738DDDA80B94D0405B898AF1D3
- even later, in 1974, in NYT review of Winter Kills at http://select.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=FB0B17FD3A5F107A93C4AB178ED85F408785F9
- The Detroit Free Press for Any God Will Do at http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/198370-Any+God+Will+Do, a secondary source
<rexxxf>See two New York Times mentions at [1] and [2] and one from the Detroit Free Press at [3]</rexxxf>
You guessed correctly, Hayford: The missing "in" caught my attention.
Sure, it is the correct quote. In my edit I only reduced it to a shorter part because it does not fit into one sentence in this way
- one of the early practitioners of what Pete Hamill called in a New Yorki Times review,
- "the best of the practitioners of what might be called the New Novelism... "
If you want to keep the quote in its full length then the first part of the sentence has to be changed, I think.
--Peter Schmitt 23:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, NOW I see what you mean -- I thought you had truncated the quotation, not what came BEFORE the quotation. Yes, I'll see what I can do about it -- it's not good the way it is. Thanks! Hayford Peirce 00:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

As I mentioned previously (last post actually lol) we were all placed in three different groups to critique each others work, but with the luck I tend to have at times, I got placed in a group that has not, and I mean NOT picked up a comic before.
How Did I Find Out?
After we read all the scenes sent to us by all the group members we had to post our thoughts, suggestions, etc, on the Discussion Board. Now, my group was made of four ladies, myself included, and two guys. One didn't send his scene, the other hasn't read a comic, THAT was a shocker! I mean, how many guys don't pick up a comic, at least once?
But what sort of hit was the reality that here in the U.S not many women read comics and if a woman writes a comic scene, guys will really somehow dislike it (well, not all guys). That's something to keep in mind :).
Moving on...
But the downfall was that since no one in my group has read comics, all suggestions, were good, but there was something missing...
The opinion of someone who has actually read a comic. That was disappointing.
Now the good news is that I have a few friends, who HAVE read comics and mangas, so I sent them my scene for feedback purposes instead.
I need to revise my scene before the weekend is over for submission.

That's really weird. I understand that some women don't have the same passion I have for mangas and comics but guys? Most of the people I discuss my manga obsession with are guys. *shrugs* Oh well, I guess there are still some men whose world does not revolve around Naruto and Superman. =)ReplyDelete

Identification & Background Information
The Palm Zire 31 is identified by the device's name on the top right corner of the blue case. Note that unlike the later Zire series, the Palm Zire 31 does not have a camera.
The Palm Zire 31 was created by Palm during the merger/split fiasco between 2002 to 2005. The hardware manufacturer was PalmOne and the operating system manufacturer was Palm. The Zire 31 was the successor to the Zire 21, a black and white PDA with similar characteristics. The Zire 31 was designed to be a cheap, reliable handled with aesthetic customization being overlooked. It is more functional than beautiful. Palm shipped the Zire 31 only in the metallic blue edition.

A good friend of mine, who has been such a blessing to me and my family, blessed me this week by taking me to "God's Design for Disability", a conference at John Piper's church.
As many who read this know, my wife Erin and I have 2 autistic children. We have a heart to get a ministry started at the church to love and bless these families that are going through similar issues.
I was going to type all of the encouraging words John Piper and the other speakers gave. But honestly, I am still trying to digest it all. It was a lot of heavy stuff to take in one day!
But instead, I am just going to say: I cried a lot. Dang it, I am welling up now. Give me a second.
Here's what I want to clear up: do not mistake my tears.
I was not, am not, tearing up because I saw a lot of "disabled" people (I did). Nor am I weepy because I know I am going home to my own "special needs" kids (I am).
These tears are tears of joy. Actually, they are the first fruits of the tears of joy I will have on that Day.
The Bible tells us, in Revelation 21:3-5: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new."
The Day is coming. Wheelchairs will be obsolete. Braces and crutches will be artifacts of a world long gone. Autism will be ancient history. Downs Syndrome will only be spoken of past tense.
Replacing it all will be wholeness. Glorious wholeness. Death and disease and disability gone forever. Pain, mourning, sleepless nights… forever gone. Replaced by the glorious wholeness of all of Christ's people as we, and this is the best part, dwell in the glorious presence of God forever. The greatest worship service of all time, because it is never going to end.
So my tears now are just the anticipation of this. Will God wipe these tears then, or only the tears associated with us coming to the full realization that is was the brutal death of God's Son to pay for my horrible sin? I don't know.
So do me a favor. When the tears associated with autism well up in me, don't feel bad for me. Don't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Please just smile and say, "Yeah, it is going to be awesome."

Rebuild: Confess and Commit
Mike Butler
As we rebuild, we must admit our needs to God.
Nehemiah 9:5b-6, NIV 2011 "Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. 6 You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
God is faithful to us
Nehemiah 9:8, NIV 2011 "You have kept your promise because you are righteous."
Nehemiah 9:9-12, NIV 2011 9 "You saw the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt; you heard their cry at the Red Sea. 10 You sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name for yourself,c which remains to this day. 11 You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters. 12 By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.
When we rebuild, must guarantee that the correct walls are in place.
Those walls are built upon the foundation of:
Faith alone (Sola Fide)
Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura)
Christ alone (Solus Christus)
Grace alone (Sola Gratia)
Glory to God alone (Soli Deo Gloria)

Total AT miles hiked: 1802.5
Miles to complete my thruhike: 381.7
It's my 200th day on the AT and I hiked my 1800th mile today. Wow. Even though I've walked it myself, those numbers are hard to comprehend. We are staying at the Jim and Molly Denton Shelter with tents and tarps up. Eagle Eye had a welcome fire burning when I hiked up to the shelter an hour after dark in the freezing cold. We got ahead of Stonewall because he stayed at the last shelter. I can't believe it's so cold and I'm still doing this, and even enjoying the hiking. It's after dark and in the morning that the cold really hurts. As long as I'm hiking I can mostly stay warm enough, but I have to put on my raincoat as soon as I stop moving, or I start to shiver.
I rolled my ankle again today and, while trying to save the ankle, I plunged face first under the weight of my heavy pack into the leaves and dirt. I lay there, holding my ankle, trapped on my side by my pack. Finally the pain hit and then subsided, so I struggled to get up and had to undo all my straps and leave the pack on the ground in order to get up. I felt helpless, like a turtle on its back. I tested out my ankle and walked it off and kept going five more miles, but I hurt it again and I am walking cautiously. That's it. I need an ankle brace whenever I get to a pharmacy. It was sunny today, but so cold. Tonight it's freezing. My 15 degree down bag and silk sleeping bag liner keep me warm enough, but barely. I'm very happy with both.

Carbon blacks synthesized by the liquid phase plasma process in benzene with and without distilled water showed a very high charging capacity of about 1,540–1,600 mAh/g depending on the liquid involved. CBs synthesized from organic benzene only were found to have a higher specific surface area compared to CBs from benzene with water, contributing to the higher charging capacity of 1,600 mAh/g. The charge–discharge cyclic stability (measured from 2 to 20 cycles) of the CBs synthesized from benzene was significantly improved with the addition of water from 58 % to about 70 % reversible capacity. Our results suggest a promising method of producing carbon black nanoparticles at low temperatures with a reasonable performance applicable for lithium ion batteries.

**Hey lovelies! This week on the blog, I've been lucky enough to have the amazing Johanna Cider contribute a post to the site. Johanna is a New Zealand based Blogger with a serious love os staying fit and healthy. I thought this piece might help those of you with questions around the whole organic conversation. This is some great info on that debate PLUS it highlights some of the reasons eating the right foods in general (organic or not) can be hugely helpful when it comes to dealing with stress and well being. As always - buy the best quality of food you can afford and know that non organic fresh food is still healthy and a good choice**
What Is Organic?
Generally categorized by minimal or negligible use of pesticides, livestock feed additives, and genetically modified organisms, organic food has recently enjoyed a steady rise in popularity. Much to the delight of those who will pay eye-watering prices for anything with an organic label, the demand for organic products has grown, and there are now more options than ever when choosing organic products, restaurants, and stores.
Even living an organic lifestyle is somewhat cheaper than it used to be. Consumers who choose to live an organic lifestyle can easily find everything from skincare, bath products, and clothing. If you're thinking about living a much more organic lifestyle, know that it's possible to undertake a spring cleaning of your household and switch to organic products of all kinds.
We've all heard about the environmental benefits of going organic, but what can organic food do for our health? Excess stress can be detrimental to our health and our daily lives, but organic food or other fresh good quality products can help soothe this problem.
There are many foods, drinks, and natural products that have been proven to help people de-stress, but organic versions of these can be even better for your body. Even traces of the heavy metals, synthetic pesticides, and growth hormones can interfere with how your body combats sickness and digests food. To keep yourself healthy and calm during everyday life, especially during challenging times, try these organic products:
Although broccoli is abhorred by children the world over, its poor reputation is exceptionally unfair. The iconic green vegetable contains folic acid, a B vitamin that has been shown to contribute to stress reduction. Choose organic broccoli for a tasty snack that's healthy, low in calories, and, of course, void of pesticides.
Dark chocolate
After your healthy meal of organic broccoli, you can indulge in a few squares of dark chocolate. It sounds too good to be true, but dark chocolate has been shown to reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone – and that's just one of its many health benefits. Pure dark chocolate with a high amount of natural cocoa solids contains a compound called anandamide, which is naturally present in the human brain and is released when we feel happy. Two other chemicals that help to slow the absorption of anandamide are also found in chocolate, making the good feeling last for longer. Just a few squares are all you need to help yourself feel less stressed.
Essential oils
Essential oils – oils derived from plants – are often touted as being able to cure all kinds of ailments and illness. While this unfortunately isn't the case, essential oils can certainly help you to relax. Adding a few drops of organic lavender oil to a diffuser will help send you straight to sleep on restless nights, while a dab of rose oil will help you to feel calmer as you go about your tasks during your day.
Delicious Tea
Next time you can't sleep or relax, brew yourself a comforting cup of organic tea – in particular, chamomile tea can work well as a mild sedative. Catnip might seem like something more suited to your favourite feline friend, but it can help to decrease feelings of restlessness. If you want to stay alert and ease anxiety, try lemon balm tea, which is both delicious and soothing.
There are plenty of benefits to choosing a natural, organic lifestyle. In particular, choosing to use organic products will help you to be aware of what you're using to nourish your body, and if you're a meat-eater, switching to organic meats means you won't be ingesting potentially harmful growth hormones. Organic food is also more likely to be fresh, as it hasn't been treated with the chemicals that give other food such a long shelf life. Why not make the switch today and enjoy all of the benefits that organic food may be able to bring you?

Reed, the exchange said Wednesday. Reed's plan calls the board to shrink to eight independent directors from 27. All of the eight directors nominated by Reed were elected to the board of directors by a minimum of 1,063 votes. Members voted Tuesday, two months after former chairman Dick Grasso resigned under pressure over his $180 million deferred compensation package. The reforms are subject to regulatory approval.

Janikhel district changes hands -- yet again
Janikhel district changes hands -- yet again
GARDEZ (Pajhwok): The Janikhel district of southeastern Paktia province has fallen to Taliban for a third time, officials confirmed on Thursday.
The district fell to the militants last month, but was recaptured two weeks ago by the security forces after heavy clashes.
On Wednesday, the Taliban claimed overrunning the restive district and inflicting heavy casualties on the security personnel.
Police spokesman Sardar Wali Tabassum told Pajhwok Afghan News the security forces had tactically withdrawn to prevent civilian casualties.
He said the security personnel had gone to the district with equipment to construct buildings and settlements, but the militants staged attacks on them.
He added the security forces were still fighting against the insurgents. However, he did not say anything about casualties.
A member of provincial council, Taj Mohammad Mangal, hit out at the security forces for retreating to Rashidgi Kando area. He said no progress was possible in the absence of air support.

I knew very little about mental issues faced by veterinarians while in school. There wasn't very much talk about it or how to manage grief. Although the curriculum was demanding, school was immensely enjoyable because I was surrounded by caring friends who became my family away from home.
I only became aware of the emotional and mental struggles faced by veterinarians after I graduated and began to work at a small animal veterinary clinic. I quickly realized that not many clients were willing to go that extra mile for their pets even when you were willing to do so. People generally wanted a quick fix at the lowest cost. Some clients who could not afford treatment refused to euthanize their terminally ill pet, even if it meant that their pet would continue to suffer. This was starkly different from the hospital setting I was trained in and the difference in culture and practices shocked me.
The worst experiences were with the breeders. Their animals came in filthy, covered in a variety of ectoparasites and were often deathly Ill. I could not even imagine what their living spaces looked like. Some of them came in collapsed from severe tick fever or had been in labour for more than 48 hours.
Clients expect a lot from their veterinarians. We are required to be knowledgeable and to make an accurate diagnosis with minimal diagnostic tests performed. We are presumed to have an endless supply of empathy, compassion and pairs of sneakers to travel that extra mile for as little as possible for our clients.
Training at school had not prepared me for what I was going to experience in private practice. I could not comprehend why animals were allowed to suffer nor could I make any sense of the foul attitude of many clients. I didn't know who I could talk to; who would understand? Certainly not management. Not even my close friends could empathize. The physical and emotional demands soon took a toll on my body which landed me in hospital just 3 years into practice.
In my 4th year of clinical practice, I chanced upon an opportunity to work with non-human primates in a research laboratory. Wanting to understand and learn more about these creatures and the research industry, I didn't hesitate when I was offered the role of a research veterinarian.
Although this position allowed me to have a more balanced work life, I soon realized that my new job was far from perfect. There were too many unauthorized deviations from approved protocols, and needless culling of animals. Avoidable human errors were made due to complacency and negligence; which resulted in the extended and unnecessary suffering of research animals.
As the research veterinarian, I realized that a part of my role was to uphold animal welfare standards but yet I was limited in what I could do. The feeling of guilt, despair and hopelessness often loomed, resulting in sleepless nights and silent tears.
As experimental protocols were confidential, I did not share my feelings or experiences with friends or family. The solitude was at times unbearable.
Despite the struggles, I found immense joy in leading a close knit team and mentoring internship students. Till today, my ex-colleagues, internship students, and I remain as firm friends. The satisfaction from interacting with internship students led me to seriously consider a career in teaching and I was very fortunate to be offered a lectureship position at a tertiary institute at the end of my contract with the research company.
Looking back at my journey thus far, I am very thankful for the trials that I have experienced and conquered. There are few that will fully understand the difficulties and grief people in the veterinary profession face. I am able to share my personal experiences with my students and mentees, but more importantly empathize and support them through difficult periods and prepare them for possible adversities in the working environment.

I spent this afternoon at Kompatscher gallery, taking down the paintings from "10". It was quite an emotional moment. Thinking about the exhibition, the many months of preparation and everything I experienced along the way.
It took me about a year to prepare this exhibition. Each piece required a lot of thinking and planning, and there were many questions to be answered- What does each commandment mean? What does it mean for me? What do I want to tell people? How am I going to tell it to them? And do they even want to listen?
And then there was the practical side, thinking about the size of each painting, what material to paint on, and a lot of problems to solve along the way! For "Honor thy father and thy mother" I knew I wanted to construct a house out of canvas and wood, for another piece I decided to use thread and stitching, all areas that I know very little about! Often, as an artist, you have a vision of what you want a piece to look like, and to get there, you need to venture into completely new territory! But I am happy and grateful for every challenge, I learned so much, and grew and developed artistically.
After the paintings were finished, came the doubts and fears. Will people want to see my art? Will they understand my message and see what I'm trying to tell them? Am I ready to put myself out there and potentially be torn apart by the critics?
In the end, the whole experience turned out to be more than I could ever have wished for. "10" was one of the most successful exhibitions in the area, with more than 600 visitors. People came from all over, young and old, from different cultures and backgrounds. Most visitors really took their time in front of each painting, some were so emotional, they left with tears in their eyes, with others I had long discussions about art, culture, politics, the world.
And many people felt inspired. There was a lady who said she would like to discuss the topic of values with her family this Christmas. Artists came to talk about techniques and some felt inspired to develop similar topics in their own work. Teachers came and said they would like to use art to discuss ethics with their students. I left the gallery every evening, feeling completely overwhelmed.
Thank you to all of you, for your support, encouragement, your love and friendship, and for opening your hearts and listening to my art.

"The Facebook Dilemma" documentary explores the company's global impact
Share Now on:
How does misinformation on Facebook affect democracy here in America, not to mention the social fabric of many other countries, from India to the Philippines to Myanmar? That's the topic of a two-part Frontline documentary called "The Facebook Dilemma," airing this week on PBS stations. It explores Facebook's growth and how it has responded to warnings that it can be used for propaganda, violence and propping up authoritarian regimes.
Molly Wood talked with James Jacoby, a producer of the documentary. He started the conversation by saying Facebook's role in the Arab Spring uprisings was thought by many to be wholly good. But that didn't last for long. The following is a clip from the documentary and an edited transcript of their interview.
James Jacoby: A former employee who actually worked in the Middle East as an ambassador for Facebook was saying that those sorts of anecdotes about rumors spreading in places like Egypt in 2011 didn't really cause any alarm to go off at headquarters. Because they took on this idea of not being really responsible for what was going on on the platform. And I think that they didn't really want to invest, or didn't have the resources at the time to invest, in really looking at what some of the downsides were.
Molly Wood: The Facebook executives you talked to had one pretty consistent talking point: They felt they were slow to respond to these problems. Do you feel like you came away understanding why Facebook was so slow to respond?
Jacoby: It was a combination of things. It was a combination of the true complexity of dealing with these types of problems. That's what a lot of former employees are saying about it. What do you do about misinformation? What do you do about the ability of rumors to spread? How do you do that at a scale of 2.2 billion people on your platform? These are all really new, really complicated problems. And they really did seem to think it was not their responsibility, which the viewer can decide whether that's something that was an excuse, or something that if you think about taking on that responsibility, which they're doing now, it's something that we also need to contemplate. Because the more they try to solve these problems, in some ways, the more power they have over speech and over political discourse and over the information that a lot of people see on Facebook.
Wood: Yeah. One question that my Make Me Smart co-host Kai Ryssdal is fond of asking, which I think we're all asking, is just the fundamental one: Does Facebook get it?
Jacoby: They like to say they get it. They like to say that they understand their responsibilities and they're taking a broader view of their responsibilities. But I don't actually think that they're really reconsidering their fundamental business model. And some people might say, "What does it mean for them to get it?" And it may entail a real radical existential question there for them as to whether they actually are doing more harm than good.
And now for some related links:
- There's a remarkable piece in Buzzfeed in the wake of Brazil's election, where a far-right evangelical Christian was elected president over the weekend. In Brazil, Facebook-owned WhatsApp was the platform of choice for spamming potential voters with propaganda and lies. The Buzzfeed piece is about how social media in general is helping to radicalize societies all over the world, and how premium information is increasingly going behind paywalls so that "the poor, the old and the young" will be left with trolls, abuse, propaganda and conspiracies. It's grim.

Malice never was his aim, He lash'd the vice but spar'd the name. No individual could resent, Where thousands equally were meant. His satyr points at no defect, But what all mortals may correct; For he abhorr'd that senseless tribe, Who call it humor when they jibe.
--Jonathan Swift, "Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift"
The English language has never produced a satirist equal to Jonathan Swift. It hasn't even come close. Taken together, Swift's major satires—Gulliver's Travels, The Battle of the Books, and The Tale of a Tub—constitute an encyclopedia of satiric techniques still common today, in everything from South Park to Saturday Night Live to The Colbert Report. Nobody has ever poked fun more eloquently than Swift.
And yet, when Swift sat down to write his own eulogy, he chose to emphasize that his satire was designed to correct behavior and not simply to create humor at the expense of others. Satirists, he believed, engage others ethically in an attempt to improve their behavior. Mockers are a "senseless tribe, who call it humor when they jibe."
Swift was working with the classical definition that he inherited from Horace and Juvenal: satire is "a mixture of humor and criticism designed to correct vice and improve humanity." And this is hard to do. It takes courage, intelligence, and deep insight into human nature. To be a satirist, one must be for things and must use humor skillfully to direct human behavior towards that which you are for. Mockery, on the other hand, is easy. All you have to do is be against stuff and make fun of it.
This is all relevant, of course, to the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in Paris last week. It is not at all relevant to whether or not the attack was justified or whether or not we should protect their kind of speech. A free society must vigorously protect both satire and mockery—and all other forms of criticism—or it will cease to be free. Those responsible for the attack committed an act of unspeakable evil, period, and we must all stand behind Charlie Hebdo and support their right to expression.
It does not follow, however, that we must praise their form of criticism or think well of it. And it certainly does not follow that we should openly advocate more of it. In a free society, we must support all sorts of things that we don't see as particularly good ideas.
By most accounts, Charlie Hebdo is much more about mockery than about satire. As Reimy Maisel writes in an excellent Politico article, it is "famous for, among other things, publishing a series of Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, the Virgin Mary with a pig's nose and a dog having sex with French President Francois Hollande." On the spectrum that runs from satire to mockery, these depictions are about as far away from actual satire as you can get.Let me be very clear, yet again, that I am not making a moral or a political argument. I do not think that mockery is always immoral (or that satire is always moral), nor do I believe (as one must say every paragraph or so in a discussion like this) that mockery and satire should be treated any differently as categories of expression under the law. Both must be protected.
My argument is strictly rhetorical. The problem with mockery is that it is not rhetorically effective. It doesn't actually persuade anybody of anything. Nobody has ever been mocked out of a belief or humiliated into accepting another. When we mock others, we communicate the view that we do not respect them or take them seriously. This invariably deepens their commitment to the positions that they hold and decreases—usually to zero—our ability to exercise any influence with them. Mockery makes us feel good and look smart to to our friends. This is its function; it has virtually no value as a form of persuasion.
But, as I have written before, persuasion is the only way to win the "war on terror." This does not mean trying to persuade terrorists to stop being terrorists. I get that this is impossible. Nor does it mean persuading the rest of European and American society that they should hate, fear, and ridicule Islam more than they already do. Plenty of that kind of persuasion is going on already. But it does mean persuading the more than one billion Muslims in the world who are not terrorists that the program of Enlightenment is better than the program of radical Islamicism. There are many ways to do this, I believe, and satire and humor can play a role.
Mockery, on the other hand, cannot. It is simply not a good strategy for this kind of contest. That does not mean we should not tolerate newspapers like Charlie Hebdo, who exist primarily to mock. We should defend them, support their right to exist, and punish those who use violence against them. All of this I am committed to. But that does not mean that I have to call them good.

Upon her new company's first product launch, we worked with actress Anne Heche and her partners to introduce Tickle Time Sunblock to the media. We created a strategic plan in conjunction with her social media partners, wrote her press kit, created key message points and media trained her. Right out of the gate, we placed Anne on EXTRA-TV and Today.com, the Today Show's web site, generating millions of media impressions and leads to the company's web site.
Having publicized Tickle Time's partnership with Fab.com, we organized an L.A. based event with Tickle Time's newest online retail partner, TopFloor, to introduce Tickle Time to local lifestyle bloggers. We secured appearances for Anne on The Doctors and Marie and coverage in USWeekly, People.com, WonderWall for MSN, GorgeouslyGreen.com, LAMomsDig.com, Babble.com via PrudentBaby.com, and Lucky magazine, which parlayed into a Today Show feature on products for kids that you can also use yourself.

Affiliate and Referral SalesFor niche blogs and websites, affiliate gross sales are a much more efficient technique to generate earnings than mere text or banner ads. Major on-line merchants like Amazon, eBay, and Newegg all supply affiliate packages that pay you a percentage of the sale worth each time somebody clicks on an affiliate link to their websites and buys one thing. The nice thing about referral or affiliate sales is that it is easier to match the best product to your audience and due to this fact increase conversion charges.
Website hosting provides internet customers with on-line methods for storing information, movies, images or some other content accessible to the general public by way of the net. These methods are provided for by the net hosts, corporations which deliver space on their very own servers for use by their purchasers in addition to offering web connectivity, sometimes in a data heart.

I had to nip to Saxmundham first thing for a few bits, and because of the weather it was a driving day rather than a biking day. Col needed to go to a hardware shop so he came too and while it was still fine we went round the charity shops and he found a pair of jeans for £3.50. Coming out of the bank I noticed a sign - New opening times - they are going to be closed all day on Thursdays. Is this the beginning of the end? A small town in Mid Suffolk recently lost their only bank, that must make life difficult for all the businesses in the town. Saxmundham still has 2 banks, most of the other small towns nearby only have one. We shall see what happens.
Now more book shelves photos. Here are the bottom 2 shelves of the first bookcase. Lots of random books here that have been collected over 20+ years. Several are ex-library books and from charity shops, secondhand book sales. Nothing new here. My favourites from these shelves?
2 books about Arthur Ransome and his Swallows and Amazons books.
The Helene Hanff omnibus including her well known book - 84 Charing Cross Road.
Dear Mr Bigalow - by Frances Woodsford
The bird book and the road map book are falling to pieces and where on earth did the giant London Road Atlas come from? There is another recipe book here because it's too big for anywhere else, it could go really as I've not looked at it for years, and some of Cols Fred Dibnah and railway books are down there too.
If I had to get rid of some books because we were downsizing it would be several of these from the bottom shelves that would go. Maybe I'll sort through them before we do a car boot sale.

LOS ANGELES -- Attorneys for fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander, who was convicted of sexually assaulting aspiring models, are seeking a new trial because prosecutors stopped a juror who apparently tried to meet with Alexander's sister before a verdict was reached, it was disclosed Friday.
Although all motions concerning the proposed meeting are under seal, the story came out in bits and pieces today inside the downtown courtroom of Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David S. Wesley, who said he will hear evidence to determine whether the juror's -- and prosecutors' -- actions warrant a mistrial.
"At this point, nobody is immune from being called to the stand and explain what happened," Wesley said.
According to comments made by Wesley and Alexander's defense attorneys, during deliberations, a male juror contacted a defense investigator to set up a meeting with Alexander's sister at a Starbucks coffee shop.
A defense investigator put a recording device on Alexander's sister and sent her to the Starbucks, but the juror was "intercepted" by District Attorney investigators before the meeting could take place.
It was unclear how prosecutors learned of the proposed meeting.
Deputy District Attorney Mara Mcllvain had no comment and a spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office said there would be no comment since the matter is under seal.
Defense attorney Ronald Richards, who was retained by Alexander for post-conviction matters, said he will request that Wesley subpoena all e-mails and messages within the District Attorney's Office regarding the decision to stop the juror before the meeting.
"This was a highly unusual series of events," Richards said outside court. "During deliberations, there were these contacts. The D.A.'s office thwarted the defense's ability to get to the truth. We don't know how high up (in the prosecutor's office) it goes."
Defense lawyers Friday also asked that the judge allow them to interview the juror. Wesley told his clerk to reach the juror and ask whether he wanted to be contacted by one of Alexander's attorneys, and to inform the panelist that he has the right to have an attorney present if he agrees to be interviewed.
Despite the flap, Wesley set a date to sentence Alexander on April 1, but it is likely the day will be taken up by the motions under seal, the judge indicated.
Alexander, 35, who worked with such celebrities as Paris Hilton, Michelle Rodriguez and Mary J. Blige, and appeared on "America's Next Top Model" in 2003, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
He was among 20 people profiled by Newsweek as up-and-coming players in various industries.
Alexander was convicted in November of 16 sex-related counts involving seven females ages 14 to 21, including seven counts of lewd acts on a child and possession of child pornography.
Prosecutors initially filed charges involving a total of 20 alleged victims, who claimed he got them drunk, made them watch porn movies and forced them to perform various sex acts.
He remains under indictment for similar sexual assault allegations in New York and Texas. Several civil suits filed against him by his alleged victims are also pending.

That is a long time.ReplyDelete
I was pretty young at the time, but I remember the mass freeing of POWs at the end of America's involvement in that war. It got lot of attention.ReplyDelete
Senator John McCain was a prisoner of note in what was referred to asReplyDelete
"The Hanoi Hilton".
Of course your idiot of a President has said "he shouldn't have been captured" and other inane remarks on this subject.
I recall the furore when "Hanoi Jane" went to the North.
The Viet Cong were also not very dutiful in care. The Geneva Convention was thrown out the window.......that's if it ever got through the window. All very sad indeed.
PS: For the Tea Party followers.........the Turnip Top avoided the call up. I read in a refutable magazine that the reason was he had "INGROWN TOE NAILS"!!!!!!!
Obviously in later years these toenails affected his brain cells!!!!

Carlo Zanni, Museum of Art Ahlen
My Temporary Visiting Position From The Sunset Terrace Bar, 2007
What links Ahlen to Naples, La Spezia with the transatlantic twin cruisers Michelangelo and Raffaello on their way to Argentina? In short: a network, consisting of culture and history, biography and the internet. This was invented by the Italian artist Carlo Zanni. Exile, emigration is nowadays euphemistically called Temporary Visiting Position. From a personal point of view, Zanni creates an audio-visual realtime environment, linking together different references of the contemporary with culture. Within the framework of his art, an irreconcilable tension between the contradictory experiences of migration from people of the the so called first world to the "losers" of globlization will be set up, which will subtly spread over to the visitor's mind. His work uses web cam images from Naples and photographs of Ahlen. A critical poem by Ghada Samman breaks up the idyllic images of sunsets and reminds us of the role of richness in regard to power. The Gotan Project accompanies the setting with a musical sigh.
Embedding Zanni's experiences of feeling homeless in a personal and biographical manner – the artist lives in Milano and New York – the work also alludes the notion of the "Grand Tour", which has a special meaning in 2007, the most gigantic year of the visual arts ever: It's a marketing label designed for the convenience of the art scene's jetset which makes travelling between Venice, Kassel, Basle, and Munster comfortable.
Within his work Zanni creates poetics of the media's content and not about the mediality itself.
