Immediate relief, clinically proven, distal acupuncture
: Amos Ziv
6-7 February 2016
- 6-7 February 2016 (sold out)
- 19-20 March 2016
Tutor: Amos Ziv
Amos Ziv M.Sc L.Ac, is the former director of clinical research in Shiram Integrated Medicine Services, Asaf Harofeh Medical Center, Israel where he headed the Acupuncture for Back and Neck Pain in the Emergency Room Clinical Trial (ABNP study). He is a graduate of the American College of TCM, San Francisco, California. An expert in TCM channel theory applications. Amos studied as a personal student of Prof. Wang Ju Yi in California and China since 1999. He is an invited speaker to international conferences such as Rothenburg Germany, ECIM, the ARRC symposium, BAcC and more.
What participants from Europe seminars have said:
"Huge success – nothing but praise!"
"Clear and detailed explanation of the meridians, the level of pain and how to reduce the
amount of needles when treating pain"
"Highly sensible and concrete, immediately applicable in my practice with good results"
"Very practice-based, highly effective"
Seminar Overview
Learn to activate a powerful leverage of Meridian Channel Qi to facilitate immediate pain relief and healing. Follow a clear, 9 step pragmatic protocol for the treatment of musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions
- For the first time in the UK, a perfect blend of practical hands on teachings with classical TCM channel theory
- A highly effective clinical tool taught in a nine step by step protocol based on classical TCM channel theory
- A solution for the majority of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal and neurological conditions seen in an acupuncture clinic
- A unique class enabling immediate use of the system at the end of the workshop

Quantum diffusion of the random Schrodinger evolution in a scaling limit
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Schrodinger equation with a random potential models electron propagation in an impure medium. For large disorder, the eigenstates are localized and no conductance occurs (Anderson localization). Much less is known about the weak disorder regime where delocalization is expected in three or more space dimensions. In this talk I will consider the quantum evolution on a sufficiently long time scale so that the cumulative effect of impurity scatterings yields a diffusive behavior, i.e. the Schrodinger evolution converges to a heat equation in the scaling limit.

Cosmology, Black Holes, and Shock Waves Beyond the Hubble Distance
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. We construct a class of global exact solutions of the Einstein equations that extend the Oppenheimer-Snyder (OS) model to the case of non-zero pressure, "inside a black-hole", by incorporating a shock wave at the leading edge of the expansion of the galaxies, arbitrarily far beyond the Hubble length in the Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime. Here the expanding FRW universe emerges behind a subluminous blast wave that explodes outward from the FRW center at the instant of the Big Bang. The equation of state p=(1/3)(rho) plays a special role, and only in this case, the shock wave emerges from the Big Bang at the speed of light, decelerating from that time onward. The entropy condition implies that the shock wave must weaken to the point where it settles down to an OS interface, that eventually emerges from the White Hole event horizon of an ambient Schwarzschild spacetime. The entropy condition also breaks the time symmetry of the Einstein equations, selecting the explosion over the implosion. These shock wave solutions indicate a new cosmological model in which the Big Bang arises from a localized explosion occurring inside the Black hole of an asymptotically flat Schwarzschild spacetime. (This is joint work with Blake Temple.) I will strive to make this talk understandable to non-experts.

Protein crystallization in 10 dimensions: Regression models for optimization, analysis and interpretation of screening experiments.
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Optimization of crystallization experiments presents a challenging problem. Crystal growth is affected by many factors in a very unpredictable manner. In experiments done at Diversified Scientific, Inc., ten factors have been selected to study (screen) the formation of crystals in a laboratory. Screening data are used to model the process by a function of ten variables that would allow us to predict optimal conditions for further experiments. A standard method described in the literature is a least squares fit by linear and quadratic functions. This method has limitations, and we found ways to overcome some of them. Our algorithm makes the most of the regression-based approach to the problem.

Spectral asymptotics for magnetic Schroedinger operators
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. A quantum particle with negative energy, which moves in Euclidean configuration space subject to a potential well V, may be bound to this well. The number of the corresponding bound states heavily depends on the shape of V. In particular, its behavior near infinity determines the spectral asymptotics, that is, it determines the possible accumulation of the associated energy eigenvalues. In this talk we will survey corresponding results on the spectral theory of Schroedinger operators in case an additional constant magnetic field influences the particle. It turns out that the magnetic field always produces an infinite number of bound states whose spectral asymptotics exhibits a transition from a quasi-classical to a true quantum regime.

Models and Analysis of Multiple-Pinhole Tomographs: Visualizing Mathematics in Applications
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. For mathematicians, "tomography" generally connotes "inverse problem". However, design of tomographic systems involves analysis of "forward problems", as well as "inverse problems". This presentation is a discussion of "forward problems", or system models, of a class of novel emission imagers known as multiple-pinhole transaxial tomographs--tomographs of present interest because they have the potential to provide real-time dynamic tomography of the physiology of hearts and brains. The discussion will focus on matrix models generated via computer simulation and on singular-value decomposition (SVD) analysis of the matrix models.
Tractable analytic models of multiple-pinhole tomographs have not been developed. Such models when developed will be related to the attenuated Radon transform, the model of an ideal emission tomograph, but the complexities of multiple-pinhole systems make specification of the related transforms difficult. To date, results obtained on the quest to characterize multiple-pinhole tomographs have been obtained through analysis of matrix models generated via computer simulation. Numerical singular-value decomposition (SVD) (generalized eigenvalue decomposition) has been the primary tool of the analysis.
Conventional transmission computed tomography (CT) is an overdetermined problem. Multiple-pinhole tomography is an underdetermined problem. It is this mathematical context--that of non-square matrices--that suggests the use of SVD analysis. The mathematical context follows from the physical reality that available detector resolution does not match desired object-image reconstructed resolution.
Physically, a multiple-pinhole tomograph only acquires some of the information that defines an object being imaged--some object information is not measured and thus is lost to the imaging process. One aspect of design of multiple-pinhole tomographs is determination of the number and locations of pinholes that lead to acquisition of the object information that is "most desired". Mathematically, the goal is to map from the object to the "measurement" space the information that is the most useful information and to map to the "null" space that which is the least useful--for the diagnostic imaging task being performed.
SVD analysis has proved useful in the characterization of many imaging systems. This has been true for the systems of interest here as well and investigations of various system matrices has led to the asking of the following question. Can the relationship between the singular values and singular vectors of a complex pinhole tomograph, one with a multiple-pinhole coded aperture, and those of a simple pinhole tomograph, one with a single-pinhole aperture, be characterized explicitly, given the simple system is a building block of the complex system? Presented will be a discussion of multiple-pinhole tomographs being constructed, numerical results that lead to the asking of the just stated question, and results obtained to date relevant to the answering of the question.

Ropelength Criticality and the "Simple" Clasp
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Imagine hanging a loop of rope from hooks in the ceiling of a room. Now toss another rope through the loop, and fix both its ends to hooks in the floor. Tighten both ropes (and move the hooks, if you need to) until the entire configuration is as short as possible.
What is the shape of the length-minimizing configuration?
The problem above is a natural geometric optimization problem; given a space curve with an embedded tubular neighborhood of fixed radius, find the shortest curve which can be obtained by any isotopy of the original curve and tubular neighborhood which keeps the tube embedded.
It is known that solutions to these problems always exist, and that they have a certain amount of regularity. For some simple links, such as the classical Gehring link problem, we know explicit examples of ropelength minimizing curves.
Going further requires the development of a general theory of ropelength criticality, and something analogous to an Euler-Lagrange equation for critical configurations. In this talk, we'll use ideas from the theory of frameworks to construct a criterion for ropelength criticality.
We'll then use our picture to come up with some surprising explicit solutions to the problem above.

Construction of convex metrics in locally connected spaces
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. A metric d on a space X is convex if each pair of points of X lie in a shortest arc. More precisely, the metric space (X,d) is convex if each pair of points of X lies in an arc isometric to an interval in the real line with its usual metric. Bing (1949) proved that each Peano continuum (i.e. connected, locally connected, compact metric space = continuous and Hausdorff image of the unit interval [0,1] ) can be metrized with a convex metric. Bing used his result that each Peano continuum can be partitioned into finitely many pieces which are themselves Peano continua of small diameter and which are pairwise disjoint except for common parts of their boundaries. (Partititioning can be regarded as an analogue for continua of triangulation for manifolds). I will give a proof of Bing's convexification theorem and indicate how it may be extended to the non-compact case. If time permits I will sketch a simplified proof of the partitioning theorem.

The Anderson Model of Disordered Media
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. The Anderson model is used in Statistical Physics to describe the electrical conductivity properties of disordered materials such as alloys or crystals with impurities. The main theoretical challenge is to map out neighboring energy regimes in which such materials act as conductors or insulators, respectively, and thus to rigorously establish a phase transition. Mathematical work on the Anderson model combines various fields such as operator and spectral theory, linear ordinary and partial differential equations, and probability theory. In the talk we will introduce the model, and describe some of the mathematical results as well as open problems. The entire talk will be kept non-technical.

On predator mediated coexistence
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. In this talk we consider via a reaction-diffusion model the coexistence of two competing species that are preyed upon by a common predator. In the absence of the predator, one of the prey species competitively excludes the other. The predator is presumed to be able to persist on either of the prey species by itself. If the impact of predation is felt more strongly by the dominant prey species, the inclusion of the predator may result in the coexistence of the three species community.

Electromagnetic theory: the Born-Infeld legacy
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. Quantum-Electrodynamics (QED) requires a mathematical regularizer (a so-called ultraviolet cutoff) which (so it seems) cannot be removed. According to experts in high energy physics (a.k.a. M, n\'ee superstring theory), QED is just an effective field theory in the low-energy regime, which happens to require a cutoff for the omitted high-energy physics. However, as early as 1933, Max Born suggested that QED's ultraviolet problems have been inherited from the classical electromagnetic Maxwell--Lorentz model (which, too, requires an ultraviolet cutoff). Together with Leo Infeld he proposed an intriguing modification of the classical electromagnetic field equations and attempted their quantization. Their program never took off from ground, and work on it has remained a fringe activity of main-stream research. In recent years, I have been able to tie together some of the loose ends in the Born--Infeld program, as a result of which one obtains for the first time a mathematically consistent, relativistic, classical electromagnetic theory without UV regularizer; moreover, this formulation suggests its own quantization.
In my talk, which is accessible to graduate students, I will review the mathematical problems of classical electromagnetic theory and their solution within the classical Born--Infeld program. I will also present the first successful steps from there into the quantum world.

The Einstein Constraint Equations
2:30 pm / CH 445
Abstract. The Einstein equation in general relativity is essentially hyperbolic in character, and admits an initial value formulation. The initial data must itself satisfy a system of geometric equations, the constraint equations, which form an (underdetermined) elliptic system. We discuss some methods to construct solutions of the constraint equations, and along the way remark on connections with geometry, topology and physics.

The Radon transform and computed tomography
2:30 pm / CH 405
Abstract. In 1917 J. Radon wrote a paper which would prove decades later to be very influential as it provides the basis for CT (computed tomography, CAT scans). I will present part of the paper, the history of CT, and discuss some of the more practical problems to be solved before a CT becomes applicable. This may shed some light on the relationship between pure and applied mathematics. - The talk will be accessible to all graduate students.

Null Geometry and the Einstein equations
2:30 pm / CH 405
Abstract. We present some global results concerning null objects in Lorentzian geometry, such as null geodesics and null hypersurfaces, and describe the usefulness of such results in studying the global behavior of solutions to the Einstein equations. In particular, we discuss a uniqueness result for de Sitter space, and some results concerning the topology of asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes.

Computational Field Simulations: Perspectives, Visions & Future Directions
2:30 pm / CH 405
Abstract. The state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of Computational Field Simulations (CFS) along with critical barriers and future directions in interdisciplinary education and multidisciplinary research will be presented. Emphasis will be placed on all aspects of CFS involving pre-processing (geometry-mesh generation, boundary conditions and problem set-up), processing (numerical solution of pertinent set of non-linear partial differential equations representative of the science of the field to be simulated), and post-processing (visualization and feature detection). The role of HPC and information technology in the overall problem solving environment and enabling technology tools utilized in CFS will be discussed. The tools and technology developed by the presenter and his group will be presented with computational examples of practical interest.

Geodesic flows on Weyl manifolds and Gaussian thermostats
2:30 pm / CH 405
Abstract. We will show that geodesic flows of Weyl connections model systems with forcing and thermostatting, in particular Gaussian thermostats. Weyl manifolds with negative sectional curvatures have geodesic flows with at least some hyperbolicity. It is not known if there are homogenous Weyl manifolds with negative sectional curvature (different from Riemannian symmetric spaces). We will discuss this and other open problems.

Expanding polymodials
2:30 pm / CH 405
Abstract. One of the most popular areas of Dynamical Systems is Holomorphic Dynamics. This is partially due to nice pictures that accompany it (see Mandelbrot), but the main reason is that powerful tools of the Analytic Functions Theory can be used to study it. We can ask what remains if we keep the general topological setup but remove the assumption that the system is holomorphic. It turns out that under some additional geometric assumptions much of this beautiful theory survives. We call our maps "expanding polymodials" to stress connections with complex polynomials on one hand and with piecewise expanding (polymodal) interval maps on the other hand.

The government says there have been prayers at presidential inaugurals for more than 200 years, and that shouldn't change.
It's asking a federal court to throw out a lawsuit filed by atheist Michael Newdow, who's trying to bar the saying of a prayer at President Bush's inaugural.
Newdow is best known for trying to get courts to remove the "under God" reference from the Pledge of Allegiance.
He says using prayer in the inaugural is unconstitutional. But the government says it's been happening since 1789 and is widely accepted. A federal appeals panel threw out the same lawsuit last year.

Broad City is a half-hour comedy television series airing on Comedy Central.Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, the creators and stars, began producing Broad City as a webseries on Youtube in 2009 and continued until 2011. The webseries consisted of two seasons, with the second receiving a noticeable increase in budget. The episodes began short (between 1 and 3 minutes) and increased in length in the second season. While the first season had short episodes focusing on humorous interactions between Abbi and Ilana, the second season is built on tastefully edited vignettes woven around short comedic sequences and an exploration of Abbi and Ilana's relationship. The second season also boasts appearances from many mainstream and established comedians, including Amy Poehler, who would later executive produce the television version on Comedy Central.
Broad City provides examples of:
open/close all folders
Webseries (2009-2011)
TV Series (2014- )
- Ambiguously Brown: Ilana.
- Binge Montage: "P*$$Y Weed" features one of Abbi smoking pot in a dentist's office bathroom.
- Bi the Way: Ilana constantly tries to get Abbi to have a threesome with her among other things, an idea Abbi is against and barely tolerates.
- In an episode that reveals that Abbi has made out with a girl before, Ilana. Freaks. The. Fuck. Out. Then spends the rest of the episode acting like Abbi cheated on her.
- Bland-Name Product: Abbi works at Soulstice, a parody of the New York-based and extremely yuppy-friendly SoulCycle gym chain.
- Ilana's place of 'work', Deals Deals Deals, is based on a similar company called Lifebooker that Abbi, Ilana, and writer/director Lucia Aniello used to work at.
- Brother-Sister Incest: In "Destination: Wedding", Morgan and her brother Mitchell are (at the very least) bathing together and likely having sex with each other.
- Buses Are for Freaks: The Sei Wah bus in "Destination: Wedding".
- Casual Kink: When Jeremy and Abbi hook up, he nonchalantly throws Abbi a strap-on. It turns out he has a thing for "pegging."
- Catch Phrase: In Season 2, 'Yas kween' or Ilana calling Abbi 'queen' as a term of affection.
- Celebrity Lie: Abbi frequently makes excuses for why she doesn't train clients during the day (or at all) by saying that she trains celebrity clients at night, most often Shania Twain.
- Celebrity Resemblance: In "Destination: Wedding", Lincoln is said to resemble Idris Elba.
- Chekhov's Gun: In the episode "P*$$Y Weed", Abbi is disgusted when she finds out where Ilana stashes her weed. At the end of the episode, Abbi has to use the same method to get past the cops in the subway.
- Conspiracy Theorist: Both Ilana and her mother believe that Little Richard was a bisexual alien and Jay-Z and Beyoncé are in The Illuminati.
- Continuity Nod: In "The Last Supper", Abbi mentions 'boring Ben', who she slept with in "Stolen Phone".
- The White Power dress that gets stained, stays stained.
- Dwindling Party: In one episode, Abbi, Ilana, and four others set out to a wedding. Over the course of the episodes' hijinks, they're separated, one by one, to just Abbi and Ilana. None make it to the wedding.
- Foreshadowing: In the first episode of season 2 a random old lady calls Abbi 'Val'. Then, in episode 5 we find out that Abbi has a secret jazz-singing alternate persona, Val.
- The Ghost: Abbi has a female roommate who never actually appears, and seems to be out whenever Abbi is home. She does appear in a few photos when Ilana and Lincoln sneak into her room on one occasion, but even then, her face is obscured.
- Hypocritical Humor: Abbi calls an old college buddy in order to buy pot, only for the woman to disapprovingly saying "Oh, Abbi, you still smoke pot?" Cut to the woman popping a bottle of prescription pills and taking a sip of wine.
- Identical Stranger: Adele, who is played by Alia Shawkat, looks almost exactly like Ilana and happens to have the same erogenous zones as her. However, Ilana at first didn't realize that they looked alike.
- The Illegal: A somewhat atypical example in Jaimé, a Venezuelan who deals drugs but constantly agonizes about imagined offenses against his friends.
- Informed Judaism: Abbi and Ilana are both (as in real life) Jewish but not much is made of it usually.
- Insistent Terminology: Bevers constantly calls himself Abbi's roommate, to which Abbi responds that he is not her roommate, he is her roommate's boyfriend.
- Lighter and Softer: Compared to the web series. For example, Ilana's bisexual urges toward Abbi are generally only played for comedy, whereas things would get extremely awkward or Abbi would get genuinely angry most of the time in the web series. Abbi is also much more sympathetic in the TV series, while in the web series she was only slightly less of a jerk than Ilana.
- Literally Loving Thy Neighbor: Abbi is completely enamored with her neighbor Jeremy, but he doesn't seem to think of her as anything more than a neighbor. However, in Season 2, Jeremy agrees to go on a date with her. Things get a little crazier than Abbi anticipates.
- Marijuana Is LSD: Abbi's breakdown in "P*$$Y Weed" is probably atypical of marijuana consumption.
- Man Child: Abbi's "roommate", Bevers, is this mixed with elements of the Fat Slob, while his older sister is even worse. Ilana can count as a female version of this.
- Mistaken for Gay / Romance: Happens to them somewhat frequently, though more in the web series. As mentioned above, Ilana isn't as averse to the idea.
- Mistaken for Racist: In "Apartment Hunters" Abbi goes with Lincoln to find a new apartment and finds what seems to be the perfect place with an interracial (black and Indian) couple. She then points out the commercial that her art was used in, only for all of them to see that it's for a racist dating site.
- Nice Guy: Lincoln
- Product Placement: Abbi is oddly passionate about Bed Bath & Beyond.
- Running Gag: The guys Abbi dates tend to have dicks that are way too big.
- Abbi answers her phone and talks to Ilana, usually something about the plot of the episode. In the following scene, Ilana is with someone else apologizing "Sorry, I had to take that". Then the person she's with will say "You made that call... in the middle of our conversation."
- Self Cest: This comes up in "Coat Check", with Ilana and Adele, who immediately have a deep connection with each other. They have a lot of emotional and physical chemistry with each other, but when Abbi points out that Adele looks almost exactly like her, Ilana gets freaked out and has to leave, even hallucinating that she was making out with herself.
- Split Screen: The opening sequence of "Working Girls".
- Stalker Shrine: One of Ilana's old fuck buddies has a very creepy one dedicated to her.
- Stoners Are Funny: Both Abbi and Ilana.
- Terrible Interviewees Montage: Inverted. Ilana sets out to interview some prospective interns, because she really hates working. The candidates are pretty adequate, but Ilana's questions are terrible.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: A more disgusting example where the girls hide their pot up their vaginas to avoid getting caught.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: They can really get on each others nerves sometimes, but they do care about each other when it comes down to it.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Also present in the web series. Ilana is typically it, mainly because she drinks more and has a smaller frame than Abbi, so she can't hold it as well.

Skip to comments.We Speak of Terrorism. America=Terrorism? (Yes, children, you may keep it).
Posted on 04/23/2006 5:29:24 PM PDT by IKScott
I wonder if America is called a terrorist organization now days. In my opinion we literally are. If you look at it from a perspective. We tell countries what they can and what they can't do. If they don't abide we basically go to war with them and change their government and maybe to an extent their culture for them. Is this not a form of terrorism? To force a country to do something against their will. In my opinion it is, but that's just me. An it's not just with Iran and Iraq, which are recent acts of this, but over the years America has picked up the title "The World Police", if you go back in history you see several acts of this. Isn't this a bit hypocritical really? I mean what if the sides flopped. What if it was America being invaded (Probably as foreign countries see it, not being liberated as we see it.), what if it was our government being forced to change, our heritage and culture being altered. Can one really say that they would be comfortable with that situation? I would think not, but then again there's always the possibility. I hear a lot of "Well Iran is a hostile country", I imagine though that foreign countries considered us hostile, their stance would probably come from our recent acts; Afghanistan, Iraq, and now a situation with Iran. Would that mean that we should also be forced to destroy our nuclear weapons, stop all uranium enrichment in America, and not to mention the power shortages that we would start to have if we where stripped of our nuclear power plants.
P.S. This was not intended to offend anyone, it was merely a speculation. Maybe I will get some feedback for a good discussion/debate on this one. By the way please excuse any grammer/spelling errors in this reply.
WOW, what an introduction........hold on pal
I'm guessing...that's not what you're going to get.
Oh, well, ok. Sorry, my bad.
We are not nor have we ever been a terrorist country. How can anyone think that?
We be BAD.
I'll give you my place in line when they come to behead us.
HA HA HA, thats great.
You are very talented
Sure America is called a terrorist, by every terrorist thug
on the planet.
No. But here's a lovely door prize for you...
Exactly. Because we all know no country but the US has ever invaded anyone. Saddam didn't invade Kuwait. Iran won't nuke Israel if they get the chance. The Sudanese aren't committing tribal slaughter in Darfur.
IKScott we hardly knew ye......
I'm stealing that one....LOL!
We're just kidding about that terrorist stuff. We're really at war with most of Islam.
It is the way of the world.
You're too used to sheer comfort to understand.
such self loathing and cultural relativism here.
Putting The " F " Back In Freedom.
Scott, that you?
You can play with the word "terrorist" all you want. We are at war with fanatical Islam. Terrorism is simply the method of the enemy. We must fight the Wahhabists, Mujahideens, and Jihadists, or we all die and the banner of Islam will fly over our heads.
Durka Durka Durka...JIHAD!
Thanks! Making ZOT graphics is loads of fun!
One for the tarpots, dear.
"You can't bring that weak stuff here! This is the Viking Kitties' land, mothaf..."
Wow, did you get pardoned?
IBTZ as well.
We tell countries what they can and what they can't do.If they don't abide we basically go to war with them and change their government and maybe to an extent their culture for them.
Please name for me one case where we did that where the country in question was not shooting at us or sheltering people who were shooting at us?
Yeah we tell them what to do all right. Don't shoot at us. It is pretty simple really.
What an interesting post on your first day...
Okay I might have used terrorism a bit loosly. That being the case just reread the whole article using the word bully instead. So all of you don't even consider the idea of America being a bully or terriost as I used it by telling other countries what to do, then when they disagree we blow them up. If some country tried that to us, we would consider them a bully or terriost country. So why is America so much better than other countries. Old Old saying, Treat others as you wished to be treated. America definitly doesn't follow by that rule. BTW how many of you actually read the post or just the heading?

Smut (edition 2012)
by Alan Bennett
Work details
Smut: two unseemly stories by Alan Bennett
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Funny book. It is two short stories, both about middle aged women in circumstances or situations that, in former times may have been regarded primly as smutty, something which this book is not. It is witty and clever, light hearted, and gently pokes fun at society's preoccupations with "how things look".
[from 'The Shielding of Mrs Forbes'] "In the years since he was born her sights had risen and Graham was not nearly the classy name she'd once thought. She wished now that she could get rid of it as she had got rid of the dark oak dining suite that belonged to the same period. But though car-boot sales exist to dispose of discarded aspirations there are no stalls dealing in our most unwanted commodities like names, relatives or one's own appearance in the glass."
Very enjoyable. Two long stories, neither deep nor stupid.
Just a few days after starting this book, I heard a caller on a podcast introduce himself as someone who has the same job as one of Bennett's main characters: someone who pretends to be a patient for doctors to practice on. A few days *before* starting this book, I'd never even heard of such work; in fact, when I started "Smut," I wondered whether Bennett had made the whole idea up.
So far the writing is funny and the story is engagingly bizarre. Interested to see where things go from here.
--Just finished. It's two novellas, both brilliant. I was worried that the second would be unpleasant, one of those works where the author seems to take pleasure in telling the story of entirely unlikable people. Not the case at all. The characters *should* be unlikable; instead, they're endearing (at least I found them so). And Bennett's use of the language is reliably wonderful. "She wasn't wholly infatuated, though she liked the way he looked; but, so too did he and that unfatuated her a bit." I will never be less than infatuated with this book.
The Greening of Mrs Donaldson - 1 star
The Shielding of Mrs Forbes - 3 stars
I started reading this book a few months back and quit about 10 pages in because the first story was so bad, but I picked it up again for a 50 Books Challenge. The second story was much better, but still not that good.
Although Bennett's two "unseemly" stories involve sex, his portrayal has a down to earth quality that avoids indecency or eroticism. At the same time they are generously laced with humour that is tinged with a poignant element. Bennett's writing is never blatantly obvious, but rather it weaves many emotions that beautifully reflect reality. I enjoyed The Uncommon Reader more, but as usual, Bennett has created a thought-provoking work with subtle undertones.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- An Augusta man has been arrested and charged with armed robbery after deputies say he pointed a gun at a woman and demanded all her money.
Deputies have arrested 20-year-old Gary Williamson in connection with the crime.
Investigators say the victim was counting money in the parking lot of the Dollar General on Peach Orchard Road when she looked up to find a gun pointing through the window of her car.
According to the report, Williamson demanded "give me all your money," at which point the victim handed over the $70 she had in her hand.
Deputies say the victim then drove to a nearby gas station to call 911. Clerks in the store recognized the victim's description of Williamson and said he had left the store only 30 minutes prior. Surveillance video showed him in the store.
Deputies were able to locate Williamson on Windsor Spring Road, which is where he was taken into custody.

Pacific Crest Securities Reiterates on F5 Networks as Fundamentals are Expected to Improve
In a report published Tuesday, Pacific Crest Securities analyst Brent Bracelin reiterated an Outperform rating and $110.00 price target on F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV).
In the report, Pacific Crest Securities noted, "Overall enterprise spending has been mixed, as seen by demand shortfalls at Citrix, Teradata, Red Hat, and IBM. However, positive reseller feedback on F5's new family of appliances gives us confidence that it should exceed our revenue estimate of $384 million. This would imply growth would accelerate to at least 6% in 4Q13 from 4% over the past six months. As government spending has become more volatile, F5 has guided revenue for the December to be flat to +2% sequentially, with the typical enterprise budget flush offset by a meaningful decline in federal spending. For example, federal has declined by 42% and 50% sequentially in each of the past two December quarters. We would not be surprised if, once again, F5 provides a conservative outlook of flat to +2% sequential growth, implying guidance of $384 million to $392 million."
F5 Networks closed on Monday at $90.11.

Many of UNDP's relationships with countries and territories on the ground exceed 50 years.
Find details on our successes and ongoing work.
Dec 10, 2015Mainstreaming Gender in Mitigation and TechnologyThis capacity-building package has been designed for policymakers to guide them on how to promote gender equality across all levels of policy and programming in climate change, and to provide them with the necessary tools to do so.
Jan 1, 2010Supporting countries to get ready for REDD+This two-page flyer describes how UN-REDD is supporting countries to get ready for REDD+. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an endeavour to create an incentive for developing forested countries to protect, better manage and wisely use their forest resources, thus contributing to the global fight against climate change.
Aug 12, 2009Forest Carbon Accounting: Overview & PrinciplesThis report reinforces UNDP's capacity building efforts by presenting the main principles, practices and challenges of carbon accounting in the forestry sector. It highlights the historic, current and future needs for forest carbon accounting; principles and good practice; the process of forest carbon accounting; and existing guidance and toolkits available for forestry carbon accounting.
Aug 7, 2009Bio-carbon Opportunities in Eastern and Southern AfricaThe review is a useful resource for policy-makers seeking an overview of forestry / bio-energy regulation and promotion, and project proponents seeking to develop CDM or voluntary market carbon projects. The chapters are organized in terms of the production cycle, beginning with forest bio-carbon and then moving into domestic bio-energy and charcoal production.
Sep 1, 2009UN-REDD Programme BrochureIn 2008, FAO, UNDP and UNEP launched the UN-REDD Programme to support governments to establish the institutional structures and the capacity to implement REDD, and to increase international confidence and understanding about the feasibility and options for including a REDD mechanism in a post-2012 regime. The Programme brochure outlines the work of UN-REDD.
Dec 1, 2010Perspectives on REDD+This short document explores difficult questions in three articles that look at the challenges around the application of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in stakeholder engagement for REDD+; the multiple ecosystem-based benefits of REDD+ beyond carbon; and Measuring, Reporting, Verification (MRV) and monitoring for REDD+.
Aug 10, 2009Biomass Energy for Cement Production: Opportunities in EthiopiaBiomass and biomass residues, if sourced in an environmentally and socially sustainable fashion, represent a vast – and largely untapped – renewable energy source for the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The guide seeks to outline the potential, taking the Ethiopian cement sector as a specific example of how biomass energy might be deployed in practice.
Aug 1, 2003UNDP CDM ManualThe CDM User's Guide is designed as a reference tool primarily for UNDP Country Offices to learn more about the opportunities and challenges of the CDM and implement projects efficiently and equitably in a variety of national and sectoral contexts. The document addresses issues of climate change and sustainable development including UNDP's CDM strategy and the CDM project cycle.
Nov 17, 2010Staying on Track: Tackling Corruption Risks in Climate ChangeThe UNDP report was launched during the 14th International Anti Corruption Conference in Bangkok in November 2010. It maps out major corruption risks in the areas of adaptation and REDD+ and makes recommendations to identify actions to minimize these risks.
Dec 3, 2011Technological Cooperation and Climate Change
Sport has been an instrumental tool in the promotion of peace and development for many years, and I was able to witness it for myself at this year's Olympic Games in Rio.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals to stick with Ryan Lindley at quarterback
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards and four interceptions in his first NFL start Sunday, which came in a 31-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
Two of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns, and while there were some positive moments, Lindley very much showed he is a work-in-progress as far as being ready to lead an NFL team.
However, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday if Kevin Kolb is unable to return from his injury Sunday, the former San Diego State signal caller will once again get the nod.
"We stay with Ryan," the coach said. "Let's start the thing off by saying you can't have those interceptions, but in the first half I thought that he did a really nice job.
"He moved in the pocket, was decisive, managed it, made some good throws."
Whisenhunt pointed to the team's three scoring drives in the first 30 minutes of football, which saw the Cardinals take a 17-14 lead into the intermission.
"I felt that we did a lot of good things," he said.
Things went south in the second half, though, as the Rams dialed up the pressure and made Lindley try to beat them with his arm.
That he couldn't Sunday is understandable, and the coach said no one was more upset about the mistakes than the quarterback himself.
"One of the things that you have to learn about a quarterback is that when you get into those heat of the moment type things how you've got to respond," Whisenhunt said.
The mistakes, the coach added, are just part of the growing pains, and it is important to see what Lindley does in a real game compared to just working in practice.
"You understand with a young player," he said. "Look, we've got a lot of young players that are playing. They make mistakes.
"Sometimes they're not magnified like they are with the quarterback because he's got the ball, and that's what he's got to understand."

Langara Falcons Name New Head Coach to Women's Basketball Program
Vancouver, BC, April 21, 2016 – The Langara Falcons are excited to name Winston Brown as the new coach of the women's basketball team.
"We are very fortunate to be able to retain Winston as a member of our coaching staff," said Jake McCallum Director, Athletics and Intramurals. "He is an extremely passionate and dedicated coach who brings with him a thorough knowledge of the game that will serve our student-athletes well."
Brown, who has over two decades of coaching under his belt, has been an integral part of the Langara coaching staff for the past two seasons as an assistant coach. He succeeds Mike Evans, who spent the past fourteen years leading the women's program.
"I'm incredibly grateful for, and excited about, the opportunity that Jake has given me to continue the growth of the women's basketball program here at Langara," said Brown. "My goal, as head coach, will be to continue building a foundation and a culture of success. Langara College is a unique and special institution and it's important to me that our student-athletes represent the qualities of the school both on and off the court."
Prior to joining the Falcons, Brown coached the junior and senior girls' programs at York House School in Vancouver. He led the Tigers to an impressive 10 straight AA Senior Girls Provincial Finals, capturing the provincial title seven times. Through ten seasons at York House he posted a regular season record of 108-8.
"There is something special about basketball at Langara that has always intrigued me. Whether it is the players who've run the court, the coaches who have patrolled the sidelines, or the intimacy of the gym I've always felt that there was character here, " he added. "It's an honour to be entrusted with contributing to that character."
As Director of the Triple Threat Basketball Training Academy since 2003, Brown has spent countless hours coaching elite level athletes at the U15, U16 and U17 age levels. He has Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts Degrees from the University of British Columbia and has been teaching at York House School since 2008. Brown has received both the Telus Basketball Classic Tom Tagami Award for Coaching Excellence (2012) and the Basketball BC Award for Coaching Excellence (2006 & 2011).
The 2016-2017 PACWEST women's basketball season begins on Friday, October 28th when the Falcons play host to the Quest University Kermodes.
The End of an Era for Langara Women's Basketball
Mar 21, 2016
Vancouver- After 14 years at the helm of the women's basketball program at Langara College, Coach Mike Evans has coached his last game for the Falcons. Evans was hired by Langara College in 2002, and leaves as the longest serving women's basketball coach in school history.
"Mike has been a tremendous asset to the program. His commitment and dedication to women's basketball was second to none", stated Jake McCallum, Langara Athletic Director. "His contribution to our program, and the impact that he has had on the lives of so many student athletes is truly immeasurable."
Under Evans' leadership the Langara women's basketball program had numerous successes, winning three CCAA All-Canadian Awards, twenty PACWEST All-Star Awards, one PACWEST Provincial title and Coach Evans himself was named PACWEST Coach of the Year three times.
"Langara has been fortunate to have had someone of Mike's character leading the program the last fourteen years", said McCallum. "His leadership and professionalism have been valued over his time at the College and we wish Mike well in the future."

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Angela Pomponio
local food, Idaho, Angela Pomponio
I am spending 2014 making active changes in order to live in line with my values. I am cutting out most all non locally grown, humanely produced, and fairly traded foods. I am not putting in to me anything that does not make me better. Food will be happiness, fuel, strength, disease fighting and my vote. What do we do more frequently than eat, more public, more symbolic, and yet so many of us attach so little value to this frequent vote casting. If every one of us just did not buy or consume that calorie of lost principles the world would shift. I value my principles and think it disingenuous to live my life at odds with them.
What you eat, buy, grow and feed your family has the power to be your vote for what is safe, right and important. Local food for me encompasses all of that. Less oil used to transport food to you saves the environment from damage and will help foster less political instability. Organic growing methods again saves oil use, protects the earth from chemical toxicity and your body from filling with synthetic chemicals. Buying local puts something like $4 for every $1 I spend into the hands of people living, paying taxes and shopping in my town. And I like thumbing my nose at Monsanto and other HUGE corporations bent of profit at the expense of the entire world and our collective future, often funded by my own tax dollars.
After a death of a fairly young family member (whom I mourn more for the loss my loved ones are feeling, as I did not know this person-long story) this week; I am more committed to change in a visceral, hands in the dirt, what am I doing right now in this every day activity to change way(?) than ever. I want to fill my family with health. I want to nurture our land to feed us well and improve with the passing years. I want to cut medications, chemical, and the eroding effect of living an unprincipled life out of myself. I added to my grocery list, slashed some items, cleaned out the cupboard a bit and will order a few more seeds to grow this year. As with all change, the idea itself is monumental but living with different habits and goals actually liberating.
So we have stopped planning change and have jumped. A used chicken coop gifted from friends no longer in need of it is drying in the garage, waiting for a new metal roof and the four laying hens another friend must jettison. Local food is coming home to roost at the Pomponio Homestead. As a planning list maker type, often I am surprised when I just go out and do something. I think my planet, family, heart and principles will be happy that I am just going out and doing this. This eating local shall be grown from our good intentions, nurtured with conscientiousness, and reaped thankfully by our healthy hands.

Guide By: ApochWeiss
There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
- Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10
- Offline: 12 (200)
- Online: 0 (0)
- Approximate amount of time to 200 : 30+ hours
- Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 for game, multiple for stages
- Number of missable achievements: 0
- Glitched achievements: None
- Cheats disable achievements: No cheats
- Does difficulty affect achievements: No
If you're looking for a quick 200, don't look here. For those who are looking for a beautifully crafted and challenging puzzle game, look no further. What feels like Lemmings meets the film Coraline, Lucidity is a rail-platform puzzler where you have to choose how to use the item that is given to you to not only make it across the stage safely, but to also obtain fireflies. For every 100 you collect you gain a bonus stage, and no you cannot go back and collect the same fireflies you already obtained.
There are three acts to the game, 27 stages in the main story with 16 bonus stages to unlock (one unlocks every 100 fireflies collected), and five items to choose from. You have the ability to put 1 item in the store spot on the top left of the screen, which can be swapped out at any time, but you cannot skip a piece, and the piece you get to progress through the stage is random. And if you miss any fireflies, don't worry, you can always select that stage again from the stage select map, which will also tell you how many fireflies you have left to obtain in that stage.
And be warned, you're not alone! There are creatures that will get in your way, as well as bushes on the bottom of the stages that, if touched, will kill you automatically, as well as some small, circular pointy bushes that appear on platforms in later stages. Also, starting in Act 2, if you happen to get stuck at a wall, make sure you obtain a means to escape (often a pipe bomb) as quick as you can, since you will either be devoured by a wall of darkness, or, in Act 3, a wall of ghosts (white) and have to restart the stage. You get infinite lives, so if you mess up, don't worry, you can always go back and try again.
In some instances, after a certain amount of fireflies have been obtained, an arrow will show up above the girl's head, which will help you find where the remaining fireflies are. And for those who have no idea how to find them, they are represented by four yellow, slightly moving circles huddled together (which equals 1 firefly for some reason, not 4). If you collected them, then they will be white and won't count. You also need these if you're hit, as you can only take damage twice. The bottom left of the screen shows how many fireflies have been collected, and if it's flashing, you need one firefly to prevent being sent back to the beginning if you take damage.
Step One: Run through
You only need to do one run through of the entire game, though it'll take a good while, especially if you're not too familiar with the mechanics of this type of game. Just try to make it through the game, collect as many fireflies as you can or are comfortable with at that time, and you should net a total of 100, obtaining "First Steps", "Wonder", "Fear", "Courage", and Firefly Collector. If you're good enough you can obtain Ouch Free, and "Firefly Enthusiast" for 25. I suggest that you run the bonus stages as they unlock too in this run through to aid in the firefly achievements, and the "Mastering Of The Underground" achievement as well.
Step Two: Clean up
Once you finish the third act, you're done and can go back to the map and finish cleaning house. Head back and obtain the fireflies on every stage in order to unlock the according firefly achievements (you need 1,500 total, so get cracking!) and work on the "Shy of the Firefly" and "Cleaning Up" achievements. For "Cleaning Up", I have posted a rough map showing the locations of the fireflies to help you obtain this achievement quicker.
All in all the game is pretty simple and straight forward, but getting the proper pieces and acting quickly enough winds up being your worst enemy. The only advice I can leave you with is remain calm in the game and don't panic. Throw on your favorite relaxation CD if you like, make maps if need be, or record the stages and look them over, whatever you may want to do. In some cases you may need to practice the stages, as it's unavoidable. When you start going back, pick a stage (as you should be familiar with it) and don't let up until you get all 1,600 fireflies needed and complete every bonus stage! This one will take all your inner strength to complete...
|First Steps
|Beat the first level of the game.
You actually get this on the second level, as the first level of the game just shows you what to do.
|Finish the first Act of the game
See "Courage".
|Finish the second Act of the game
See "Courage".
|Finish the third Act of the game
Simply complete every stage in the act to unlock this achievement.
|Firefly Collector
|Collect 100 Fireflies
See "Firefly Master".
|Firefly Enthusiast
|Collect 500 fireflies
See "Firefly Master".
|Firefly Lover
|Collect 1000 fireflies
See "Firefly Master".
|Firefly Master
|Collect 1500 fireflies
You do not have to collect all the fireflies in the game for this achievement to unlock, just 1,500 of them, so stick to the levels you find easier to maneuver around in and accumulate as many as you can. There's well over 1,500 if you also factor in bonus stages so if you just really concentrate on getting them, this shouldn't be a problem, especially since some stages, like the first couple and the very last, are pretty much free fireflies if you at least pay attention and use common sense.
|Cleaning Up
|Collect all the fireflies in 'Every Kite Soars' in a single run
This stage unlocks in Act 2. You need to obtain every firefly in one run, and it's easier then it sounds. Not counting the platform you start on, grab the four on the upcoming platform, then grab the four IN the platform using pipe bombs and fans, then the fireflies start going upwards, there's two sets of two before you reach another platform when it follows the pattern of platform, two, platform with two IN it, two, and repeat. There are six platforms in the sky, and the last two just have four fireflies on the top. Just make sure you move fast to get the pieces you need.
If you are having issues with the fireflies on this level use the following map:
|Shy of the Firefly
|Beat 'Deep Sleep Dive' without collecting any fireflies
This stage unlocks in Act Two. The easiest way is to take the middle path straight through, but make sure you keep a pipe bomb in your storage space at the top left, at one point there will be two fish and a snail with thorns. Early on is a frog that jumps, so if you cannot kill that, you only need 1 more hit and you're gone. So unless you feel you can avoid the fireflies on the top and bottom by the time you reach those three creatures I just mentioned, make sure you keep an extra pipe bomb in there!
|Mastering the Underground
|Complete all Bonus Levels
There's 16 bonus stages total, which means you not only need 1,500 fireflies to unlock the Firefly Master achievement, but you need an additional 100 to unlock the last bonus stage you must complete for this achievement. Finish all 16 of the bonus stages from start to finish and achievement unlocked!
|Ouch Free
|Beat 'All Around is Petrified' without taking any damage
Just as it says, beat the stage without taking any damage and you'll get the achievement. You CAN use the pipe bomb and have it explode on the little girl, that does not count as damage. I suggest taking the middle road for this achievement.

The Fall
by Albert Camus
The Fall Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Justin O'Brien's translation.
Quote #4
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves (5.14).
And yet, divine power is linked to judgment in The Fall. Jean-Baptiste himself, by acting the role of judge-penitent, takes on what he admits is a God-like stature.
Quote #5
What of it? Well, God's sole usefulness would be to guarantee innocence, and I am inclined to see religion rather as a huge laundering venture – as it was once but briefly, for exactly three years, and it wasn't called religion. Since then, soap has been lacking, our faces are dirty, and we wipe one another's noses. All dunces, all punished, let's all spit on one another and – hurry! to the little-ease! Each tries to spit first, that's all. I'll tell you a big secret, mon cher. Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day (5.15).
In this passage, Jean-Baptiste identifies the sole purpose of religion as guaranteeing innocence. But, at other times, he has cited God's usefulness as a master, someone to satisfy our need for slavery. According to Jean-Baptiste's logic, these are opposite things. To be imprisoned in servitude is to be forever guilty. So how can we reconcile these two thoughts?

But today – set your mind at rest – their Lord is neither in the attic nor in the cellar. They have hoisted him onto a judge's bench, in the secret of their hearts, and they smite, they judge above all, they judge in his name (5.20).
Jean-Baptiste notes the hypocrisy in religion. Men claim to be acting in God's name, he says, but actually act against His wishes.
