I am in awe of his achievement." -- Daniel Ellsberg, whistleblower and author of The Doomsday Machine "Each poem is a stepping stone toward peace and preserving life on our planet." -- Perie Longo, Santa Barbara Poet Laureate Emerita "David Krieger is a master poet of our times. There are other great poets. But none have fought for human love and survival as has this great man." -- Gerry Spence, trial lawyer, poet and author of From Freedom to Slavery "Sounding in the shadow of the bomb are these bells of enlightenment or extinction. Will we choose to live? Read and see." -- James W. Douglass, author of JFK and the Unspeakable

Chappell, author of The Art of Waging Peace "There is haunting beauty and truth in this poetry." -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate "...reveals the heart of a man of compassion and peace." -- Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate
Sale!Edited by David Krieger. Summer Grasses is an anthology of war poetry collected over the years by NAPF President David Krieger. The book takes its title from a haiku poem by the great 17th century Japanese haiku poet, Matsuo Basho. In his poem, Basho looks at a field where a battle once took place. "Summer grasses," he writes, are "all that remains / of great warriors' dreams." This anthology includes poetry related primarily to wars of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.
Sale!Edited by David Krieger and Perie Longo The poems in this book examine peace from many perspectives. They are filled with the wonder and magic of everyday life. They also express the sorrow and loss that war and violence bring. They speak to the fear and frustration that one may not be able to do enough to assure peace. They find peace rooted in relationships to each other, to other living things and to the earth. In these poems one finds a burning desire to do more to heal wounded spirits and our wounded earth. These poems combine the mystery of creativity with a longing for peace.
Sale!By David Krieger "These poems touch a deep chord of hope in the human spirit. They inspire us to believe that peace is not an impossible dream." - Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate
Sale!By David Krieger "With the clarity of poetry, David Krieger explains that humanity and war are incompatible. The art of being human includes the art of abolishing war. This is the music in the minds of the born and unborn that everyone is longing to hear. I even hear the voice of Wilfred Owen." ---- Blase Bonpane, author of Guerrillas of Peace
Sale!By David Krieger Tadatoshi Akiba, Mayor of Hiroshima, said of this book: "Nuclear weapons have done enough damage. The tragedy that Hiroshima and Nagasaki have experienced must never happen to anyone anywhere ever again. In this book, David Krieger has combined reason, passion, and aesthetic skill to convey this fundamental message of the hibakusha. In a few carefully crafted, poetic pages, he presents facts and feelings that reaffirm a profound truth: the only constructive mission of nuclear weapons lies in their total abolition. Krieger has made a significant contribution to that end."
Sale!Edited by David Krieger and Perie Longo. Never Enough Flowers: The Poetry of Peace II is a collection of winning poems from the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation's Barbara Mandigo Kelly Peace Poetry Awards from 2003-2010. The collection was edited by NAPF President David Krieger and Perie Longo.

The Call From Your Ex
Awkward: What To Say To Your Ex
Page 1 of 2
We can only imagine Hugh Hefner's first post-breakup phone call from Crystal Harris, who left him days before their wedding:Hefner: Hello?
Harris: It's me, Hugh.
Hefner: Hello? Hello? Damn hearing aid. Who is this?
Harris: It's Crystal, Hugh.
Hefner: Oh. If you're calling about your Playboy cover, I smacked stickers on every magazine that says "Runaway Bride." Stickers, I tell you! No one messes with the original pimp. It was too late to get a new cover girl, but you probably knew that already.
Harris: Hugh, that's unfair.
Hefner: I dumped the twins for you!
Harris: I know every line from The Maltese Falcon because of you, and I don't even know what a Maltese falcon is!
Hefner: I gave you everything!
Harris: You gave me an allowance.
Hefner: I learned to use Twitter!
Harris: I want a music career, and you want not only a sexy nurse, but, like, an actual nurse who happens to be sexy.
Hugh: This pajama phase isn't exactly new!
Harris: The first diaper I want to change is my baby's, not my husband's.
And so on.
We all know that feeling, whether or not we have a 60-year age difference with our former flame. The phone rings, and your heart starts racing as you recognize the person on the other line; it's your ex-girlfriend. But she isn't just an ex-girlfriend, she is THE ex-girlfriend. The one you regret breaking up with; the love of your life. What do you do?
When faced with this situation, some guys react by trying to seduce their ex. Other guys react by being cold and distant. Some guys are genuinely happy to receive the call and remain platonic and friendly. Everyone's reaction is different and every guy's response to that phone call (or to a chance encounter) from a former lover is a reflection of how the relationship ended.
To simplify things, let's assume that you are single. Let's also assume that you haven't spoken to your ex in ages thus the phone call/chance encounter is surprising. This avoids other moral dilemmas about fidelity and being honest with your current girlfriend. There are many different ways to react and different reasons why your ex would call, so my discussion here is purely a generalization. Covering all possibilities would require a novel, so I have taken the liberty of making general assumptions.
she broke up with you
In Situation A, you receive a phone call from the woman who broke your heart. So why is she calling? Most of the time, women have a soft heart for anyone they get involved with. So after guys manage to get passed the barrier that we women put up, you can be pretty sure that we will care for you. Trying to reach you with a phone call is an apparent sign of that.Most of the time, a woman views breaking up as a gut wrenching decision. So if a guy gets dumped, it usually means he is a terrible boyfriend (sorry if I'm bring harsh). Once a woman has her mind set on ending the relationship, there is very little a man can say or do about it. In order to ease the pain, a woman will convince herself that her decision is 100% right. There are times when, of course, we regret our decisions so when we can't take this feeling anymore, we pick up the phone and call. So, if you got dumped and your ex is calling you, it generally means she doubts her decision or regrets what she did.
So how do you react? If you have any pride (especially if she dumped you for another guy), you politely tell her you are busy and hang up the phone, without rescheduling any further contact. This tells her that not only have you gotten over her leaving you, but you do not need her in your life.

Las Vegas Erotic Museum -- Couple Busted Banging All Over '50 Shades of Grey' Themed Event
Las Vegas Erotic Museum Couple Busted Banging Inside '50 Shades' Themed Event
There's a couple of banging bandits on the loose in Vegas -- after they got busted celebrating "Fifty Shades of Grey" all over a Sin City museum ... which may seem appropriate, but it's still illegal.
TMZ obtained surveillance video of their bare-assed exploits around the Erotic Heritage Museum -- which was featuring an homage to kink on Valentine's Day ... and after-hours the couple went on a room-by-room sex spree.
First, they found a hiding spot and waited for the museum staff to clear out ... and the house lights to go down. Then the banging began in earnest. The couple didn't hold back as they moved around -- but they didn't realize security was watching.
Dr. Victoria, who heads up the museum, tells us security alerted staff members who returned to bust the exhibitionists. You gotta see their half-naked getaway once they realized the jig was up.
Watch ... who knew coitus interruptus could be funny?

A specter is haunting the Republican National Convention—the specter of ideology. The novelist Ayn Rand (1905–1982) and the economist Friedrich von Hayek (1899–1992) are the house deities of many American libertarians, much of the Tea Party, and Paul Ryan in particular. The two thinkers were quite different, subject to much misunderstanding, and, in Hayek's case, more often cited than read. Yet, in popularized form, their arguments together provide the intellectual touchstone for Ryan and many others on the right wing of the Republican Party, people whose enthusiasm Mitt Romney needs.
The irony of today is that these two thinkers, in their struggle against the Marxist left of the mid-twentieth century, relied on some of the same underlying assumptions as Marxism itself: that politics is a matter of one simple truth, that the state will eventually cease to matter, and that a vanguard of intellectuals is needed to bring about a utopia that can be known in advance. The paradoxical result is a Republican Party ticket that embraces outdated ideology, taking some of the worst from the twentieth century and presenting it as a plan for the twenty-first.
Romney's choice of an ideologist as his running mate made a kind of sense. Romney the financier made hundreds of millions of dollars in an apparent single-minded pursuit of returns on investment; but as a politician he has been less noted for deep principles than for expediently changing his positions. Romney's biography was in need of a plot and his worldview was in need of a moral. Insofar as he is a man of principle, the principle seems to be is that rich people should not pay taxes. His fidelity to this principle is beyond reproach, which raises certain moral questions. Paying taxes, after all, is one of our very few civic obligations. By refusing to release his tax returns, Romney is likely trying to keep embarrassing tax dodges out of public view; he is certainly communicating to like-minded wealthy people that he shares their commitment to doing nothing that could possibly help the United States government. The rationale that Ryan's ideology provides for this unpatriotic behavior is that taxing rich people hinders the market. Rather than engaging in activist politics, such as bailing out General Motors or public schools, our primary responsibility as American citizens is to give way to the magic of the marketplace, and applaud any associated injustices as necessary and therefore good.
This is where Ryan comes in. Romney provides the practice, Ryan the theory. Romney has lots of money, but has never managed to present the storyline of his career as a moral triumph. Ryan, with his credibility as an ideas politician, seems to solve that problem. In the right-wing anarchism that arises from the marriage of Rand and Hayek, Romney's wealth is proof that all is well for the rest of us, since the laws of economics are such that the unhindered capitalism represented by chop-shops such as Bain must in the end be good for everyone.
The problem with this sort of economic determinism is that it is Marxism in reverse, with the problems of the original kind. Planning by finance capitalists replaces planning by the party elite. Marx's old dream, the "withering away" of the state, is the centerpiece of the Ryan budget: cut taxes on the rich, claim that cutting government functions and the closing of unspecified loopholes will balance budgets, and thereby make the state shrink. Just like the Marxists of another era, the Republican ticket substitutes mythical thinking about the economy for loyalty to the nation.
The attempt to add intellectual ballast to Romney's career pulls the ticket downward into the slog of twentieth-century ideology. Hayek's Road to Serfdom, which in its better passages is a paean to modesty in economics, is read by leading Republicans as the formula that intervention in the free market must lead to totalitarianism. This is a nice confident story, with a more than superficial resemblance to the nice confident Marxist story that a free market without intervention would bring revolution. Like Marxism, the Hayekian ideology is a theory of everything, which has an answer for everything. Like Marxism, it allows politicians who accept the theory to predict the future, using their purported total knowledge to create and to justify suffering among those who do not hold power. Ayn Rand is appealing in a more private way because she celebrates unbridled anarchic capitalism: it magnifies inequality and brings pleasure to the wealthy, who deserve it for being so wonderful, and pain to the masses, who deserve it for being so stupid. Hayek thought that we should hesitate to intervene in the market because certainty about economic matters was impossible; Rand thought that the law of the jungle was itself a rather good (and sexy) thing.
Though he now prefers discussing Hayek, Ryan seems to have been more deeply affected by Rand, whom he credits for inspiring his political career. It is likely the combination of the two—the theory of everything and the glorification of inequality—that gives him his cheery, and eerie, confidence. Hayek and Rand are comfortable intellectual company not because they explain reality, but because, like all effective ideologists, they remove the need for any actual contact with it. They were reacting to real historical experience, Hayek with National Socialism and Rand with Soviet communism. But precisely because they were reacting, they flew to extreme interpretations. Just as untethered capitalism did not bring proletarian utopia, as the Marxists thought, intervention and redistribution did not bring totalitarianism, as anti-Marxists such as Hayek claimed.
Hayek's native Austria was vulnerable to radicalism from the right in the 1930s precisely because it followed the very policies that he recommended. It was one of the least interventionist states in Europe, which left its population hugely vulnerable to the Great Depression—and to Hitler. Austria became a prosperous democracy after World War II because its governments ignored Hayek's advice and created a welfare state. As Americans at the time understood, making provisions for citizens in need was an effective way to defend democracy from the extreme right and left.
Rich Republicans such as Romney are of course a small minority of the party. Not much of the Republican electorate has any economic interest in voting for a ticket whose platform is to show that government does not work. As Ryan understands, they must be instructed that their troubles are not simply a pointless contrast to the gilded pleasures of the man at the top of the Republican ticket, but rather part of the same story, a historical drama in which good will triumph and evil will be vanquished. Hayek provides the rules of the game: anything the government does to interfere in the economy will just make matters worse; therefore the market, left to its own devices, must give us the best of all possible worlds. Rand supplies the discrete but titillating elitism: this distribution of pleasure and pain is good in and of itself, because (and this will not be said aloud) people like Romney are bright and people who will vote for him are not. Rand understood that her ideology can only work as sadomasochism. In her novels, the suffering of ordinary Americans ("parasites," as they are called in Atlas Shrugged) provides the counterpoint to the extraordinary pleasures of the heroic captains of industry (which she describes in weird sexual terms). A bridge between the pain of the people and the pleasure of the elite which mollifies the former and empowers the latter is the achievement of an effective ideology.
In the Romney/Ryan presidential campaign, Americans who are vulnerable and isolated are told that they are independent and strong, so that they will vote for policies that will leave them more vulnerable and more isolated. Ryan is a good enough communicator and a smart enough man to make reverse Marxism work as a stump speech or a television interview. But as national policy it would be self-destructive tragedy. The self-destructive part is that no nation can long survive that places stories about historical necessity above the palpable needs of its citizens. The tragic part is that the argument against ideology has already been won. The defenses of freedom against Marxism, above all the defense of the individual against those who claim to enact the future, also apply to the reverse Marxism of the Republican ticket.
The great political thinkers of the twentieth century have discredited ideological systems that claim perfect knowledge of what is to come and present politicians as scientists of the future (remember, Ryan's budget plan tells us what will happen in 2083). The way to national prosperity in the twenty-first century is surely to think non-ideologically, to recognize that politics is a choice among constraints and goods rather than a story about a single good that would triumph if only evil people would allow it to function without constraints. The market works very well for some things, the government is desperately needed for others, and stories that dismiss either one are nothing more than ideology.

The standard Google dialog for choosing a photo integrates with Picasa Web Albums. If you want to add a photo to your orkut scrapbook, you can select it from your computer, from the web or from Picasa Web Albums. When you upload photos from your computer, they're saved in an album called "Drop Box". For each Blogger blog, Google creates an album that stores the images uploaded to that blog.
That means we could expect to see other Google apps using the same model. Google Docs could have an album that contains all the images uploaded to your documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The Gmail album would include all your image attachments. This way, you wouldn't have to upload the same image multiple times and you could reuse in other Google sites.
It's unclear why Google doesn't provide in the dialog an option to search your images from Picasa Web Albums. You still have to know the location and the name of an image. Google could extend the photo picker to documents and other files, move Google Desktop online and provide a unified way of uploading, organizing and sharing your files.

Why Soap Works
Story by Ferris Jabr March 13, 2020
At the molecular level, soap breaks things apart. At the level of society, it helps hold everything together.
It probably began with an accident thousands of years ago. According to one legend, rain washed the fat and ash from frequent animal sacrifices into a nearby river, where they formed a lather with a remarkable ability to clean skin and clothes. Perhaps the inspiration had a vegetable origin in the frothy solutions produced by boiling or mashing certain plants. However it happened, the ancient discovery of soap altered human history. Although our ancestors could not have foreseen it, soap would ultimately become one of our most effective defenses against invisible pathogens.
People typically think of soap as gentle and soothing, but from the perspective of microorganisms, it is often extremely destructive. A drop of ordinary soap diluted in water is sufficient to rupture and kill many types of bacteria and viruses, including the new coronavirus that is currently circling the globe. The secret to soap's impressive might is its hybrid structure.
Soap is made of pin-shaped molecules, each of which has a hydrophilic head — it readily bonds with water — and a hydrophobic tail, which shuns water and prefers to link up with oils and fats. These molecules, when suspended in water, alternately float about as solitary units, interact with other molecules in the solution and assemble themselves into little bubbles called micelles, with heads pointing outward and tails tucked inside.
Some bacteria and viruses have lipid membranes that resemble double-layered micelles with two bands of hydrophobic tails sandwiched between two rings of hydrophilic heads. These membranes are studded with important proteins that allow viruses to infect cells and perform vital tasks that keep bacteria alive. Pathogens wrapped in lipid membranes include coronaviruses, H.I.V., the viruses that cause hepatitis B and C, herpes, Ebola, Zika, dengue, and numerous bacteria that attack the intestines and respiratory tract.
When you wash your hands with soap and water, you surround any microorganisms on your skin with soap molecules. The hydrophobic tails of the free-floating soap molecules attempt to evade water; in the process, they wedge themselves into the lipid envelopes of certain microbes and viruses, prying them apart.
"They act like crowbars and destabilize the whole system," said Prof. Pall Thordarson, acting head of chemistry at the University of New South Wales. Essential proteins spill from the ruptured membranes into the surrounding water, killing the bacteria and rendering the viruses useless.
By Jonathan Corum and Ferris Jabr.
In tandem, some soap molecules disrupt the chemical bonds that allow bacteria, viruses and grime to stick to surfaces, lifting them off the skin. Micelles can also form around particles of dirt and fragments of viruses and bacteria, suspending them in floating cages. When you rinse your hands, all the microorganisms that have been damaged, trapped and killed by soap molecules are washed away.
On the whole, hand sanitizers are not as reliable as soap. Sanitizers with at least 60 percent ethanol do act similarly, defeating bacteria and viruses by destabilizing their lipid membranes. But they cannot easily remove microorganisms from the skin. There are also viruses that do not depend on lipid membranes to infect cells, as well as bacteria that protect their delicate membranes with sturdy shields of protein and sugar. Examples include bacteria that can cause meningitis, pneumonia, diarrhea and skin infections, as well as the hepatitis A virus, poliovirus, rhinoviruses and adenoviruses (frequent causes of the common cold).
These more resilient microbes are generally less susceptible to the chemical onslaught of ethanol and soap. But vigorous scrubbing with soap and water can still expunge these microbes from the skin, which is partly why hand-washing is more effective than sanitizer. Alcohol-based sanitizer is a good backup when soap and water are not accessible.
In an age of robotic surgery and gene therapy, it is all the more wondrous that a bit of soap in water, an ancient and fundamentally unaltered recipe, remains one of our most valuable medical interventions. Throughout the course of a day, we pick up all sorts of viruses and microorganisms from the objects and people in the environment. When we absentmindedly touch our eyes, nose and mouth — a habit, one study suggests, that recurs as often as every two and a half minutes — we offer potentially dangerous microbes a portal to our internal organs.
As a foundation of everyday hygiene, hand-washing was broadly adopted relatively recently. In the 1840s Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian physician, discovered that if doctors washed their hands, far fewer women died after childbirth. At the time, microbes were not widely recognized as vectors of disease, and many doctors ridiculed the notion that a lack of personal cleanliness could be responsible for their patients' deaths. Ostracized by his colleagues, Dr. Semmelweis was eventually committed to an asylum, where he was severely beaten by guards and died from infected wounds.
Florence Nightingale, the English nurse and statistician, also promoted hand-washing in the mid-1800s, but it was not until the 1980s that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the world's first nationally endorsed hand hygiene guidelines.
Washing with soap and water is one of the key public health practices that can significantly slow the rate of a pandemic and limit the number of infections, preventing a disastrous overburdening of hospitals and clinics. But the technique works only if everyone washes their hands frequently and thoroughly: Work up a good lather, scrub your palms and the back of your hands, interlace your fingers, rub your fingertips against your palms, and twist a soapy fist around your thumbs.
Or as the Canadian health officer Bonnie Henry said recently, "Wash your hands like you've been chopping jalapeños and you need to change your contacts." Even people who are relatively young and healthy should regularly wash their hands, especially during a pandemic, because they can spread the disease to those who are more vulnerable.
Soap is more than a personal protectant; when used properly, it becomes part of a communal safety net. At the molecular level, soap works by breaking things apart, but at the level of society, it helps hold everything together. Remember this the next time you have the impulse to bypass the sink: Other people's lives are in your hands.

Who has a key to your home?
"If you think your home is safe just because the door is locked…..think again." -Action News 5, Memphis
The Lock Locker was developed to protect people and families while in the home. The Lock Locker keeps the deadbolt locked and prevents ANY KEY from unlocking the deadbolt.
Each Lock Locker comes with two round inserts allowing it to work on the VAST MAJORITY of deadbolts on the market today. Works great for TRAVEL too (hotels, cabins, vacation rentals)
Did you know that 95% of the homes in America are not protected even when their doors are locked? That's because intruders know how ineffective deadbolts really are. The Lock Locker provides an extra layer of security for you and your family. Go to bed at night feeling more secure knowing that your deadbolts are locked and will stay locked!
The Lock Locker is a patented device that, once it is placed on the door while in the locked position, renders a key useless and even thwarts criminal attempts such as bump keys and lock picking.
There's no better feeling than knowing that I could put my baby to bed and take a shower without feeling my front door could be compromised. I absolutely felt safer being home alone at night with my child as well.
I would recommend The Lock Locker because it gives you a sense of security, it is easy and it works!
The Lock Locker as an extra measure of security helps to give me more peace of mind.
Having four children in different rooms, safety is a big concern for us. I do worry during the night, and get up often to check on them. Any extra security measure for our family is a bonus!
This product is great, we would highly recommend it!
I love it! I don't think anyone has tried to break-in but I feel better knowing it's on.

A Commitment to Clarity & Support Throughout Your Probate Process
FAQ: Questions About Wills
What are the requirements for a will to be valid?
The requirements for a valid will vary somewhat by state, but the general requirements include:
- Legal age. In most states, you must be at least 18 years old to make a binding will. In some states, the age limit is as low as 14 or 16 with exceptions for emancipated minors or when a minor has received a large inheritance.
- Testamentary intent. This means you must be clear in expressing your intention for the document to function as a will.
- Testamentary capacity. This means you must be of sound mind and are aware of your actions and the implications when the will is created. It's a common misconception that someone with dementia can't create a legally binding will, but they can if they are lucid when the will is made. In these cases, though, a letter from a doctor that confirms mental competence is a wise decision.
- Signed. The will must be signed free of fraud, duress, or coercion. A representative can sign on your behalf if you are physically unable to sign the will.
- Witnesses. In the vast majority of states, two adult witnesses must also sign the will. In some states, the witnesses must be disinterested which means they will not benefit from the will in any way.
After a will is created, can it be changed?
It's important to keep a will up-to-date. If you wish to make changes to your will, you can create a new will or use a codicil to add changes to your existing will.
Either a codicil or a new will require a signature and the signatures of two (or more) witnesses to be legally binding.
A codicil is a good option if you want to make small changes. Creating a new will can clear up confusion and it's more appropriate for larger changes like changing your beneficiaries.
Should a will have a separate list that inventories and bequeaths specific assets?
In general, it's a good idea to create a list of specific items that will be bequeathed and to whom unless you want to leave all of your property to one person — or there are only a few items you wish to bequeath separately.
When making gifts of specific items, it's important to describe them as clearly as possible. The more detail, the easier it will be for the executor to identify and locate the property. By listing specific assets and personal property in your will, you can be sure property is passed on as you like. This can also help avoid disagreements among heirs and beneficiaries.
When should I make a will?
There is no specific age at which you should make a will. In fact, adults of any age can benefit from a will, even without significant assets. However, there are many circumstances in which you should start thinking about creating a will. If any of the following apply to you, a will is important:
- You are married.
- You have children, especially if you are married with children from a previous marriage you want to receive assets.
- You have savings, investments, real estate, or a positive net worth.
What happens if a person dies without a will?
When someone dies without a will, they have died "intestate." This means the probate court will appoint a personal representative or administrator to identify estate assets, receive claims, pay creditors and taxes, and distribute property according to the state's laws of intestate succession.
What happens if a will cannot be found?
What happens next depends on the state and circumstances. If a will is missing because it was revoked by the decedent, an earlier will may be used or the state's intestate succession laws may be used to determine how assets in the estate are distributed. In some cases, a photocopy of a will and evidence that the decedent signed the original may be accepted with proof that the original will was destroyed.
If a will can't be found and no one is sure there even was a will, the state's intestate succession laws are used by default.
Who can or should draft my will?
A will can be drafted with the help of an attorney, using will-maker software or blank will forms, or on your own. It isn't necessary to use a lawyer to draft a will, but it is a good idea if you have more complicated circumstances and want to make sure the will is valid according to state law.
Is an out-of-state will valid?
As a general rule, a will should remain valid even after moving to a new state. However, states have their own laws on what makes a will valid and legally binding. These specific legal provisions can make an out-of-state will invalid, depending on the laws in each state. Even if the will is valid in the new state, certain parts of the will may become void or need to be changed.
For example, Florida requires that the personal representative be related by blood or a degree of marriage or, failing this, be a Florida resident. Florida doesn't recognize holographic (handwritten) or nuncupative (oral) wills but most states do.
Must a will be read aloud to the family by an attorney or personal representative?
The "reading of the will" depicted in so many movies and television shows is mostly fictional and never happens in modern times. This practice was only common in the past when many people were not literate. No state requires that the will be read aloud to anyone. Once the will is filed with the probate court, it becomes public record and anyone, including the general public, can read it.

Construction licences have been issued for units 1 and 2 of the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in China's Fujian province. The units were originally planned to be based on Westinghouse's AP1000 design, but will now feature domestically-designed Hualong One reactors.
China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the construction licences on 9 October to CNNC-Guodian Zhangzhou Energy Company, the owner of Zhangzhou nuclear power project which was created by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) (51%) and China Guodian Corporation (49%) in 2011. The licences are valid for 10 years.
The ministry said the submitted application documents complied with relevant national laws and nuclear safety regulations. It said the design principles and nuclear safety related activities at the Zhangzhou plant "meet the basic requirements of China's nuclear safety regulations, and the construction conditions are already in place".
The ministry has organised and supervised inspections of the on-site preparation of the nuclear island of Zhangzhou unit 1. It said the pouring of first concrete can take place once proposed "rectification requirements" have been completed and approved by the regulator.
"At present, your company is implementing rectification as required," the ministry said. "At the same time, the first tank of concrete of unit 2's nuclear island foundation is set as the control point." Once on-site preparation work for that unit's foundation has been inspected and approved, first concrete pouring can proceed, it said.
In May 2014, the local government gave approval for Phase I of the Zhangzhou plant, comprising two AP1000 units. The National Nuclear Safety Administration gave approval in December 2015 for the AP1000 units and confirmed site selection in October 2016. Construction of Phase I had originally been expected to start in May 2017. However, CNNC subsequently decided to use the Hualong One design instead. Two more Hualong One are planned for Phase II of the plant and a further two proposed for Phase III.
In late-2016, Germany's KSB Group was awarded a contract for six reactor coolant pumps for Zhangzhou 1 and 2, to be delivered in 2020 and 2021. In mid-2017, China Nuclear Industry No24 Construction Company won the contract for the nuclear island civil engineering. In February 2019, CNNC subsidiary China National Nuclear Power released its environmental impact assessment for public comment.
Hualong One reactors are currently under construction at Fuqing and Fangchenggang. Fuqing 5 and 6 are expected to start up in 2019 and 2020, as are Fangchenggang 3 and 4. The Hualong One promoted on the international market is called the HPR1000, two of which are under construction at Karachi in Pakistan.

History Sure Does Repeat Itself
Who would have thought we would be replaying the 11th and 12th century investiture controversies a thousand years later in China:
Pope Francis has decided to accept the legitimacy of seven Catholic bishops appointed by the Chinese government, a concession that the Holy See hopes will lead Beijing to recognize the pope's authority as head of the Catholic Church in China, according to a person familiar with the plan.
For years, the Vatican didn't recognize their ordinations, which were done in defiance of the pope and considered illicit, part of a long-running standoff between the Catholic Church and China's officially atheist Communist Party.
The pope will lift the excommunications of the seven bishops and recognize them as the leaders of their dioceses, according to the person familiar with the situation.

Paper has a way of piling up, so why not try going paperless?
For most Erie Insurance personal lines customers*, your online account and the ERIE mobile app give you the ability to have information at your fingertips. You can also sign up for paperless billing. Here's how (and why!).
Why Make the Switch?
Say goodbye to stacks of paper on your desk.
As an ERIE customer, you can opt in for paperless billing, which eliminates the paper invoice you currently receive. You'll get an email notifying you when your bill is due with a link to the actual invoice.
There are many benefits to going paperless:
- Access your information anytime, anywhere. Paperless means you can check your invoices or policy documents at your desk or on vacation. A quick click and you can view your invoice history and pay your bill.
- It's a time saver. No more sorting, printing, recycling, mailing or filing your insurance papers. It's easy to document things digitally.
- You can conquer the clutter. Whether you have a top-notch filing system or a shoebox filled with essential documents, going paperless can free up some space.
How to Sign Up for Paperless Billing with ERIE
Through your online account or ERIE's mobile app, go to Settings and opt in to the new paperless billing option.
Don't have an online account? No problem; it's easy to register. Your online account offers immediate access to details about your ERIE policy. Plus, you can pay your bill, access your insurance ID card (not available in New York), check your claim status and contact your ERIE agent.
How Will I Get Notified of My Invoice?
Check your email. ERIE will send a message to the email address associated with your online account. The email will include a link to log into your online account to review your Documents or Invoice.
Can I Opt Out of Receiving More Paper Documents?
Yes, you can. ERIE offers the option to enroll in paperless documents for personal lines customers (auto, home and umbrella) who have an online account. So what does this mean for you? No more "stacks" of paper at home when your policy renews or is amended. You'll receive an email notification when a new document is available to view in your online account. It's also convenient since you can access your policy documents whenever you need them.
If you're ready to make the switch, you can do so via your online account or ERIE mobile app. To opt into paperless documents, go to the Settings tab in your online account.
Go Paperless with ERIE
Not ready to go paperless? Don't worry! We aren't removing paper altogether. But if you do want to, be sure to set up your online account or download the ERIE mobile app.

My husbands friend was coming over for a few hours this Sunday so I decided to leave the babe with him and go to the Goodwill Outlet in North Austin. Im trying to start selling more on eBay so the outlet is a great place to find items for my eBay store.As always you never know what you will find at the "bins" as people call them, but it is always fun! I also was able to take a few pictures of the inside to show what this brand new Goodwill outlet looks like.
My first find of the trip was this super cute Lucky Brand shirt. I plan on selling this on eBay
This is a mens xxl Polo Club shirt. Ive been told before that ugly and big sells well on eBay so I am going to try with this strange hurricane shirt.
Victoria Secret Pink always sells super well and quickly so I picked up this shirt off the floor. It has dirt from the floor on it, but I think if I just wash it the stain will come out.
I'm not sure if this is a dress or a shirt, but I thought it was cute.
I plan to list this Ergobaby infant insert on eBay or on a local Facebook site to see how it does.
Stella & Dot makeup case.
Motherhood Maternity Robe
A friend of my sisters is a few months pregnant so I picked up this dress for her. I am going to see if she wants the robe and this dress.
American Eagle shorts sell very well for me on eBay so I am glad I found this pair.
I also found a Nine West wrap dress, American Eagle khakis, and a few breast pads.
My favorite find of the trip was a 40oz Hydroflask! I was so excited. I own a 20oz Hydroflask and spent around $25 on it on Amazon. I spent $13 so each item was around a dollar.
Now here are a few pictures of the outlet.

The interesting thing is that they were in charge of the SNU West Midlands training scheme for mediums.
Just what the SNU love, two fraudsters teaching their mediums how to "talk to the dead"
Anyway Timothy Abbott, aged 53, and his 46-year-old wife Janette claimed thousands of pounds (£230,000) in disability, council tax and housing benefit payments, saying they could hardly walk.
But they got caught out by those lovely people Department of Work and Pensions investigators, as you can see from the video below!
Timothy Abbot also admitted to have failing to have paid £10,000 worth of income tax or national insurance contributions from his earnings as someone who pretends to talk to the dead!
I'm guessing the pathetic UK Legal system will slap their wrists, cut off their benefits, and order them to pay back money slowly, and that money will end up coming from victims of their psychic/medium act! Lets just hope the judge realises this, and throws the book at them, locks them up and throws them in prison.
Anyway as you can imagine the Spiritualists national union (SNU) dont want the public to know that two of their best tutors have been done by the DWP, which is why I am publishing this story today, I know how much the SNU love me, and this site.
Tim Abbott advertises himself as an "international spiritualist clairvoyant medium and tutor."
Yet he never saw this coming did he! Sorry I had to get it in there!
And before I go, remember, they were tutors at the SNU Arthur Findlay college, the SNU have now removed them from all their websites and at the moment they are no longer teaching there. Even the SNU didn't see it coming! Some psychics they are.
So if you have found this article because you googled the names Timothy Abbott and Janette Abbott, and you are thinking of paying for a reading from these two, just remember they are CONVICTED frauds, they have STOLEN money from you the taxpayer. The SNU employed them, yet not a single psychic/medium at the SNU could see they were frauds!

A pilot who caused an unusual traffic hazard in northern British Columbia after safely making an emergency landing on a highway initially had some trouble getting the plane airborne again.
RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass says the pilot of the single-engine Cessna 172 made the emergency landing Wednesday on Highway 97 about 50 kilometres north of Prince George.
It was snowing at the time and when RCMP learned of the incident the pilot had already landed safely and steered his aircraft to a paved area off the highway so the road was not blocked.
But Douglass says the RCMP turned down the man's request to close Highway 97 so he could take off when the weather cleared.
Douglass says highway officials also rejected the request due to concerns about liability.
In the meantime, the Transportation Department's online route-planning service issued a tweet advising drivers to use caution because the plane was a visual distraction at the side of the road.
A ministry official says the pilot was able to take off late Wednesday without incident or the assistance of police or highways workers.

Move past the greatness of guys like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Have you noticed how bad quarterback play has been in the NFL this year? It's been worse than ever.
Christian Ponder can't complete the forward pass for the Minnesota Vikings. Jake Locker makes you cringe with the Tennessee Titans. I've chronicled the follies of Joe Flacco, who has taken an alarming step backward this season for the Baltimore Ravens. But realistically, all three will be back under center for their respective clubs next year, for a variety of reasons.
In this edition of The Schein Nine, I present nine teams that absolutely must be in the quarterback business next year in some way, shape or form, and how they each should address the position.
1) Arizona Cardinals
I don't know if "Kolb-Skelton-Lindley" is a quarterback group or a punch line. This is the single worst trio of quarterbacks I have ever seen.
I supported the trade that brought Kevin Kolb to Arizona from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. I thought Ken Whisenhunt was the right guy to coach him. However, I also suggested then that the Cardinals needed a legit veteran backup, as Kolb had never been a 16-game NFL starter.
Failing to find one proved to be a major mistake. Kolb was slow to learn the playbook after the lockout, and he never dazzled his teammates or coaches with leadership or his play.
This group needs a purge, a cleansing. The Cards liked rookie Ryan Lindley as a developmental draft pick. And that's what he is. Kolb and John Skelton, meanwhile, will be long gone. They represent failure. The Cardinals need someone stable.
Signing Alex Smith, if the San Francisco 49ers let him go rather than give him his roster bonus next spring, would be a savvy move. Smith likely wouldn't be available via trade, however, as the Niners won't deal him to another NFC West team.
I would offer the Washington Redskins a second-round draft pick to pry Kirk Cousins loose. I would offer the New England Patriots a second-round pick for Ryan Mallett, too.
I wouldn't spend a first-round pick on a quarterback, though. As bad as Arizona's quarterback play is, the offensive line is actually worse. The team also will need to add another backup signal-caller.
2) New York Jets
Mark Sanchez should never throw another pass for the New York Jets.
Sanchez is not a legit NFL quarterback. I wrote that sentence before he threw four picks and fumbled in the final minute against the Tennessee Titans on Monday, dooming the Jets' playoff chances.
Sanchez should've been benched after the pick he threw on third-and-goal against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. Failing that, he should have lost his spot atop the depth chart after third-stringer Greg McElroy replaced him against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, sparking the Jets to a win. Yet, somehow, the clueless Rex Ryan stayed with Sanchez, while McElroy was inactive in Weeks 14 and 15. That's irresponsible.
(UPDATE: It does appear that the Jets are finally interested in seeing more of what they have in McElroy, who was named the starter on Tuesday for the upcoming game against the San Diego Chargers.)
Lombardi: Jets must get honest
Michael Lombardi says it's time for Rex Ryan and the Jets to stop kidding themselves and take a hard look at their roster. **More ...**
The Jets guaranteed Sanchez's deal to the tune of $8.25 million next year. Releasing him would reportedly garner a whopping $17 million cap hit. That's irrelevant. He can't ever take another snap for the Jets. His confidence is shot. His play is worse. He is, rightly, the face of underachievement and failure.
The Tim Tebow Experiment flopped miserably. The Jets need a quarterback to come in and beat out Sanchez. The Jets had Drew Stanton signed, but when they added Tebow, Stanton was traded to the Indianapolis Colts. Smith, Cousins and the Seattle Seahawks' Matt Flynn must be explored. Smith, for one, would bring the kind of consistency and leadership ability that Sanchez never will.
The Jets might also be tempted by Michael Vick, though you would think they'd stay away from him, given the Tebow nonsense. But you never know.
3) Kansas City Chiefs
The Matt Cassel-Brady Quinn carousel represents amateur hour. Sadly for the Chiefs, who are in desperate need of a young franchise quarterback, there might not be a no-brainer available at the top of the 2013 NFL Draft.
I'm sure the head coach and general manager who eventually replace Romeo Crennel and Scott Pioli will look long and hard at prospects Geno Smith and Matt Barkley. I know the knock on USC quarterbacks, and I know Barkley hurt his stock this past season. But there are also NFL executives I truly respect who thought he could play in the NFL and that he would have been a top-five pick one year ago.
Personally, I'd try to trade for Mallett or Cousins.
4) Oakland Raiders
There is a very realistic chance that Greg Knapp is one-and-done as the Raiders' offensive coordinator. If Knapp is out, there is no way a new coach with a fresh set of eyes can look at Carson Palmer as a viable quarterback.
Even if Knapp comes back next season, coach Dennis Allen must cut the cord with Palmer. He's too interception-prone. He's not a winner. Oakland needs a new stopgap (think Stanton, Kyle Orton or, dare I say, Jason Campbell?) and a young quarterback for the future. Depending on who is the offensive coordinator, I would call Seattle to try to make a trade for Flynn.
Allen gave Terrelle Pryor some snaps last week, and he said on the SiriusXM Blitz to expect to see more "Pryor packages" down the stretch. However, Pryor was drafted by the old brass, so there's a realistic chance he's a future ex-Raider.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars
If Blaine Gabbert is the answer, I'd love to know the question. The Jaguars' passing attack has functioned much better behind Chad Henne's arm and leadership than it did with Gabbert.
There could eventually be a new general manager in Jacksonville. What happens at this position depends on how that situation shakes out.
But the Jaguars shouldn't fight the obvious. They must bring in Jacksonville's favorite son: Timothy Richard Tebow.
Chances are good that Gabbert, a first-round pick in 2011, won't be eradicated. Henne, meanwhile, is solid. The Jags need a jolt of magic on the field and at the box office. Tebow can run and add energy to a rather defunct and nondescript team.
6) San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers tossed up another clunker on Sunday. With the exception of a stunning Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rivers hasn't looked like a big-time quarterback since 2010.
It's easy, and fair, to blame coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith for everything in San Diego, including the lack of talent at receiver (Vincent Jackson fled via free agency), running back (as did Darren Sproles) and along the offensive line. But watch Rivers' in-game decisions. They are horrible. His throws are awful.
Assuming Kevin Acee's reporting for *U-T San Diego* is accurate, Jimmy Raye and president Dean Spanos' son (John) will take over the role of picking players. Rivers will get another crack. But the Chargers need to draft a young potential replacement, like Syracuse's Ryan Nassib, in the third round. Charlie "Chuckles" Whitehurst is not the right guy to supplement Rivers.
7) Philadelphia Eagles
I think Vick is done, and he should be. He can't stay healthy, makes too much money and isn't the same player he once was.
I didn't love Nick Foles during the draft process. It will be fascinating to see who becomes the next coach of the Eagles, and what type of offense he'll run. If Chip Kelly takes over, I don't see Foles being the Week 1 starter in 2013.
8) Buffalo Bills
Did Ryan Fitzpatrick, a Harvard graduate, really check to a quarterback run on first-and-10?
You can't make this stuff up.
The Bills are going to draft a franchise quarterback. Why am I so sure? Well, general manager Buddy Nix keeps talking openly about it.
That mega-bucks deal Nix gave Fitzpatrick last year for eight weeks of good football has turned out to be a laughable one. Fitzpatrick will never be an upper-echelon quarterback. He's serviceable, at best.
While I see Buffalo drafting a quarterback to compete with (beat out) Fitzpatrick, Vick would be an interesting name here. Yes, he is a shell of the quarterback he used to be, but he is also the athlete with the strong arm that Chan Gailey craves (assuming, of course, that Gailey and Nix both keep their jobs).
9) Cleveland Browns
It probably isn't fair, but Brandon Weeden is in trouble. He's a 29-year-old rookie. Cleveland has a new owner. During a season dominated by the dazzling play of other rookie quarterbacks, Weeden has had an up-and-down neophyte campaign, and certainly hasn't been good enough to warrant his entrenchment.
Cleveland will likely -- and appropriately -- have a new general manager and head coach this offseason. The Browns will then bring in a veteran quarterback, either to compete with Weeden or start over him.

Rewrite MySQL / MariaDB Database Dump Create View Statements For Current User
If you would like to import a database dump file created by MySQL's or MariaDB's mysqldump executable, but it contains statements to create views, the import process may abort with an error when it comes to creating views.
When creating a view, MySQL wants to know who created it, and for that it needs a username and the host. If the user who is executing the import does not have sufficient privileges or the original user referenced in the dump does not exist (for example when importing the dump into a fresh database for a migration), this leads to an error.
Usually when I import a dump, I don't care so much about the "SQL Security Definer", so I just want to set it to the importing user.
You can generate a new, modified SQL dump file very easily with the following shell command:
$ sed -r 's#^(/\*!50013 DEFINER=).+?( SQL SECURITY DEFINER \*/)$#\1CURRENT_USER\2#' input_file.sql > output_file.sql
This command simply scans through the entire dump, looking for the statement created by mysqldump which triggers the database to create the view if it doesn't exist already. It then sets the user information to CURRENT_USER which refers to the user that is currently executing the import.
Please note that because the search pattern is so specific, it will probably require some modification in the future, depending on the version of mysqldump you're using and if / how they change this particular statement. On the upside the chance that it will accidentally modify something it shouldn't is pretty low.
I hope this is helpful to you!
Thanks for reading!

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published NEMA WD 7 Occupancy Motion Sensors Standard. Previously published as a guide and not a standard, WD 7 promotes uniformity for the definition and measurement of characteristics relevant to the use and application of occupancy motion sensors. This standard covers the definition and measurement of field of view and coverage characteristics relevant to the use and application of vacancy and occupancy sensors using individual or any combination of passive infrared, ultrasonic, or microwave technology. These sensors are used in systems for control of lighting, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), and other devices.
WD 7 may be downloaded at no cost at http://www.nema.org/stds/wd7.cfm. A hard copy may be purchased for $39 by visiting global.ihs.com, or contacting IHS by phone at 800-854-7179 (U.S. only) or 303-397-7956 (international).
NEMA is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Its member companies manufacture a diverse set of products including power transmission and distribution equipment, lighting systems, factory automation and control systems, and medical diagnostic imaging systems. Worldwide annual sales of NEMA-scope products exceed $120 billion.

Binding applications to a specific IP
These days many systems are multi-homed in the sense that they have more than one IP address bound at the same time.
I.e. for different network cards, virtual IPs for shared servers or just using WiFi and a wired network connection at the same time on a laptop.
Murphy of course makes sure that your system will choose to worst IP (i.e. that on slow WiFi or the one reserved for admin access) when an application does not specifically supports binding to a selected IP address. And Mozilla Firefox for example doesn't.
The kernel chooses an outgoing IP from those in the routing table with the same metric:
daniel@server:~$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 192.0.2.3 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
0.0.0.0 192.0.2.4 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
You can obviously play around with the metric and make the kernel router prefer the desired interface above others. This will affect all applications though. Some people use the firewall to nat all packages to port 80 onto the network interface desired for web browsing. Gee, beware the http://somewebsite.tld:8080 links...
Thankfully Daniel Ryde has solved the problem via a LD_PRELOAD shim. With his code you can run
and happily surf away.
To compile his code (3.3kB, local copy, see note 1) you need to run
strip bind.so
cp -i bind.so /usr/lib/
and you're set to go.
If you don't have gcc available (and trust me) you can download pre-compiled 32bit and 64bit (glibc-2) bind.so libraries here (4.5kB).
I guess because Daniel Ryde hid his code so well on his webpage, Robert J. McKay wrote another LD_PRELOAD shim, called Bindhack (4.5kB, local mirror). This will - as is - only compile on 32bit machines. But YMMV.
Run the above command (*) with your desired (and locally bound) IP address in bash and visit MyIP.dk or DNStools.ch or any of the other services that show your external IP to see whether you've succeeded.
- Daniel Ryde did not specify the -D_GNU_SOURCE in the comments section of bind.c. Modern glibc/gcc need that as he used RTLD_NEXT which is Unix98 and not POSIX. I amended the local copy of bind.c and sent him an email so he can update his.
- Both are IPv4 only, no IPv6 support.
19.03.15 madmakz wrote in to clarify that all of the bind LD_PRELOAD shims only work with TCP connections. So not with UDP.
I'm not aware of a shim that manipulates UDP sockets.
14.01.14 Christian Pellegrin wrote a superb article on how to achieve per-application routing with the help of Linux network namespaces.
16.06.13 showip.be seems to be gone, so I replaced it with dnstools.ch in the text above. There are plenty of others as well.
22.06.12 Lennart Poettering has a IPv4 only version of a shim and a rather good readme available at his site.
29.11.10 Catalin M. Boie wrote another LD_PRELOAD shim, force_bind. I have not tested this one. It's capable of handling IPv6 binds.
11.01.09 Daniel Ryde has replied to my email and updated his local copy now as well.
