Anorexia nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that makes people lose more weight than is considered healthy for their age and height.
Persons with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain, even when they are underweight. They may diet or exercise too much, or use other methods to lose weight.

Alternative Names
Eating disorder - anorexia
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The exact causes of anorexia nervosa are not known. Many factors probably are involved. Genes and hormones may play a role. Social attitudesthat promotevery thin body types may also be involved.
Family conflicts are no longer thought to contribute to this or other eating disorders.
Risk factors for anorexia include:
- Being more worried about, or paying more attention to, weight and shape
- Having an anxiety disorder as a child
- Having a negative self-image
- Having eating problems during infancy or early childhood
- Having certain social or cultural ideas about health and beauty
- Trying to be perfect or overly focused on rules
Anorexia usually begins during the teen years or young adulthood. It is more common in females, but may also be seen in males. The disorder is seen mainly in white women who are high academic achievers and who have a goal-oriented family or personality.
To be diagnosed with anorexia, a person must:
- Have an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even when she is underweight
- Refuse to keep weight at what is considered normal for her age and height (15% or more below the normal weight)
- Have a body image that is very distorted, be very focused on body weight or shape, and refuse to admit the seriousness of weight loss
- Have not had a period for three or more cycles (in women)
People with anorexia may severely limit the amount of food they eat, or eat and then make themselves throw up. Other behaviors include:
- Cutting food into small pieces or moving them around the plate instead of eating
- Exercising all the time, even when the weather is bad, they are hurt, or their schedule is busy
- Going to the bathroom right after meals
- Refusing to eat around other people
- Using pills to make themselves urinate (water pills or diuretics), have a bowel movement (enemas and laxatives), or decrease their appetite (diet pills)
Other symptoms of anorexia may include:
- Blotchy or yellow skin that is dry and covered with fine hair
- Confused or slow thinking, along with poor memory or judgment
- Dry mouth
- Extreme sensitivity to cold (wearing several layers of clothing to stay warm)
- Loss of bone strength
- Wasting away of muscle and loss of body fat
Signs and tests
Tests should be done to help find the cause of weight loss, or see what damage the weight loss has caused. Many of these tests will be repeated over time to monitor the patient.
These tests may include:
Albumin Bone density testto check for thin bones (osteoporosis) CBC
- Electrocardiogram (
ECGor EKG) Electrolytes Kidney function tests Liver function tests Total protein
- Thyroid function tests
The biggest challenge in treating anorexia nervosa ishelping the person recognize that he or she has an illness. Mostpeople with anorexia deny that they have an eating disorder. People often enter treatment only once their condition is serious.
The goals of treatment are to restore normal body weight and eating habits. A weight gain of 1 - 3 pounds per week is considered a safe goal.
A number of different programs have been designed to treat anorexia. Sometimes the person can gain weight by:
- Increasing social activity
- Reducing the amount ofphysical activity
- Using schedules for eating
Many patients start with a short hospital stay and continue to follow-up with a day treatment program.
A longer hospital stay may be needed if:
- The person has lost a lot of weight (being below 70% of their ideal body weight for their age and height). For severe and life-threatening
malnutrition, the person may need to be fed through a vein or stomach tube.
- Weight loss continues even with treatment
- Medical complications, such as heart problems, confusion, or low potassium levels develop
- The person has severe depression or thinks about committing suicide
Care providers who are usually involved in these programs include:
- Nurse practitioners
- Physicians
- Physician assistants
- Nutritionists or dietitians
- Mental health care providers
Treatment is often very difficult, and patients and their families must work hard. Many therapies may be tried until the patient overcomes this disorder.
Patients may drop out of programs if they have unrealistic hopes of being "cured" with therapy alone.
Different kinds of talk therapy are used to treat people with anorexia:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy), group therapy, and family therapy have all been successful.
- The goal of therapy is to change patients'thoughts or behavior to encourage them to eat in a healthier way. This kind of therapy is more useful for treating younger patients who have not had anorexia for a long time.
- If the patient is young, therapy may involve the whole family. The family is seen as a part of the solution, instead of the cause of the eating disorder.
- Support groups may also be a part of treatment. In support groups, patients and families meet and share what they've been through.
Medications such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers may help some anorexic patients when given as part of a complete treatment program. Examples include:
- Antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa, Zydis) or other antipsychotics
These medicines can help treat depression or anxiety.
Although these drugs may help, no medication has been proven to decrease the desire to lose weight.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
Anorexia nervosa is a serious condition that can be deadly. By some estimates, it leads to death in 10% of cases. Experienced treatment programs can help people with the condition return to a normal weight, but it is common for the disease to return.
Women who develop this eating disorder at an early age have a better chance of recovering completely. However, most people with anorexia will continue to prefer a lower body weight and be very focused on food and calories.
Weight management may be hard. Long-term treatment may be needed to stay at a healthy weight.
Complications may include:
- Bone weakening
- Decrease in white blood cells, which leads to increased risk of infection
- Low potassium levels in the blood, which may cause dangerous heart rhythms
- Severe
- Severe malnutrition
Seizuresdue to fluid or sodium loss from repeated diarrhea or vomiting
- Thyroid gland problems
- Tooth decay
Calling your health care provider
Talk to yourhealth care providerif a loved one is:
- Too focused on weight
- Over-exercising
- Limiting the food he or she eats
- Very underweight
Getting medical help right away can make an eating disorder less severe.

If you only went by the type of comic-books he wrote, you would think that Brian Azzarello was a brooding soul, a tortured artist who was tormented by a traumatic past. But when you speak with the writer of dark titles like "100 Bullets" and "Hellblazer", he sure doesn't come across that way. Ask him about the challenges of writing characters like The Watchmen's Rorshach or Wonder Woman, and Azzarello is thoughtful and easy to crack wise. It's not until you bring up the topic of his favorite baseball team - the Chicago Cubs - that the conversation gets gloomy. Well…not really.
Azzarello is one of the featured guests at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), which will be held at the McCormick Place this weekend. Prior to making his appearance, Azzarello spoke with me about taking on the darkest characters in DC Comics; returning to the world of his award-winning series "100 Bullets"; the challenges of writing Wonder Woman; what Superman fans can look forward to this spring; and whether Chicago is one of the nerdiest cities in America:
Geek To Me: Tell us about 100 Bullets: Brother Lono. What's the story behind that?
Brian Azzarello: It's about one of the characters that actually survived through the original 100 issues. He's one of the worst characters, I think, but people really - you know, he spoke to them, when he really shouldn't have. (laughs)
Geek To Me: And did he speak to you? (laughs)
BA: (laughs) Yeah, well they all speak to me. There isn't a character I've written that doesn't have something of me in it.
G2M: When the series (100 Bullets) wrapped up did you ever feel like you'd be revisiting it?
BA: Well, that story we were finished with, but Eduardo (Risso) my collaborator, we talked about it, yeah, ahead of time. DC was asking us to not end the series at a hundred. But no, we sat down and chatted about it, and you know we planned on ending at a hundred. (We decided) This is where this story is going to end, we go any longer it's going to be padding it. So we figured if we were going to back to it at some point, certain characters we could come back to.
G2M: You've been on the "Before Watchmen" books "Rorschach" and "The Comedian." What was it about those characters that compelled you to write them?
BA: (laughs) DC came to me with Rorschach. And I went back with The Comedian. Arguably Rorschach is the face of The Watchmen. But, Comedian's the balls man.
G2M: (laughs) An interesting about the Comedian, I remember when I read the first issue you did sort of an interesting twist on the mythos. In the original series it's sort of implied that the Comedian was the guy on the "grassy knoll" (at the JFK assassination). But in your series you have Jack Kennedy and the Comedian being really good friends. Have you gotten any fan reaction from how you've interpreted the character?
BA: Well, in the original series it was mentioned twice. The Comedian said it as a joke, at a party, like "don't even ask me where I was when Kennedy got shot.'' Then Ozymandius said something at one point about how he was in Dallas, so… Zack Snyder put him on the grassy knoll, in the (Watchmen) film. That wasn't on Alan Moore (laughs) or me either.
G2M: (laughs) That's true. With Rorschach, that's a character that people feel has depths that have yet to be plumbed. What makes you think that he's the face of the Watchmen as opposed to - say - Dr. Manhattan?
GA: Man, again, there's something in us draws us to darker, tortured characters, you know? Certainly that explains Batman's popularity. There's something about someone who's driven and that drive is coming from something - um - either tragedy or really dark - sort of - past, readers find compelling.
G2M: The flip side of that is you've got the really noble characters - the purer characters - I know you've got experience with in Superman and Wonder Woman. I know Wonder Woman is a real challenge too. What were some of the challenges you encountered with her?
BA: Oh boy, one of the challenges has been, not so much with her, but with her supporting cast and what's around her. That's where we really saw some of the challenges when we decided to do the series. (We) dug pretty deep into Greek Mythology, doing a lot of re-invention there, kind of modernizing the characters, and making them gods that walk among us now. That's good fun, bringing the Gods of Olympus, setting them up arguably as the greatest crime family. (laughs) They were gods in the end and evil at the same time.
G2M: It's funny, you talk about the issues with the supporting cast and the characters, but is it my imagination or do more people have a problem with Wonder Woman wearing pants - or not - than any other character?
BA: (laughs) Boy that's - you know what? That is still an issue with Wonder Woman and pants on, for some reason. My god! Personally I don't care what she wears as long as the story I'm reading is interesting. But she's got a rabid fan base, man, and they're very, very protective of her.
G2M: Why do you think it's been so difficult to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground?
BA: 'Cuz she doesn't wear pants. (laughs)
G2M: (laughs) That's a great line. A little bit off the beaten path here. I know you did a run with Jim Lee on Superman, and now Lee is going to be doing "Superman: Unchained" with Scott Snyder, have you had a chance to see any of the stuff those guys have been up to?
BA: I've seen a little bit of it, but not much of it yet. I've talked pretty extensively to Scott about it and what he was going to be doing. It's going to be great. Superman fans are going to have a good spring/early summer.
G2M: Back to Superman, he seems to be another tough nut to crack, when you have a character who is so powerful, and in some cases un-relatable, where do you find that ground where you can get people to come and say "I can relate to Superman"?
BA: Well, you know, I look for doubt in him. For me a story always goes out of a mistake. Somebody makes a mistake and that becomes the story. Probably that explains why my series are kind of dark, because there's a problem to begin with. So I look for that in him, how can you find a flaw in a man with no flaws? It's gotta come from within him. But that was my take, you know. The great thing about these characters - so great to me - they can stand the test of time. They're durable enough to different people to bring different ideas to them. And as long as people adhere to the core values of the character, like what makes this character what he is, then the skies the limit. Up, up and away. (laughs)
G2M: Love it. You're a Cubs fan, correct?
BA: I'm a Cubs season ticket holder. Does that make me a fan or a fool? (laughs)
G2M: (laughs) What do you think about the local comics scene in Chicago? There's yourself, your wife Jill Thompson, Mike Norton,, a lot of folks who work on high-profile titles. What do you think is the future of the comics scene in Chicago?
BA: Oh, I think the future is great! We're supporting two shows, now, a year (C2E2 and Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con). That's fantastic. So it's not just creators here, but a pretty big fan base. There are a lot of different shops in the city, from Challengers to Chicago Comics. You've got (Comix) Revolution up in Evanston. It's fantastic, the community here is really, really vibrant! I think people will get a good taste of it when they visit C2E2. That show just gets better each year.
G2M: And where will people be able to find you?
BA: In my hotel room, so don't look. (laughs)
G2M: (laughs)
BA: I'll be wandering around the show. I'll be signing at the Hero Initiative booth, which is an organization that takes care of old creators in crisis. Helps them with medical bills, that kind of stuff.
G2M: I follow you on Twitter, are you active on any other social media platforms?
BA: No, and I'm not too active on that either.
G2M: You're usually saying something about the Cubs.
BA: Well, then it's usually something that can't be printed.
G2M: (laughs) Finally, recently there was an article listing the Top 10 Nerdiest Cities in America and Chicago was not among them. What's your opinion on that?
BA: We're not nerds. We're geeks. (laughs)

text: The Hamilton Woolen Company Collection contains the records of a woolen manufacturer in Southbridge, Massachusetts, which succeeded the Wolcott Woolen Company in 1831. Workers went on strike in 1934 and the company was liquidated shortly thereafter. The collection contains sporadic labor records (payroll and time books) from 1824 to 1870, showing steadily increasing numbers of women working in the factory. The collection provides a picture of the cross section of women's economic roles in the waning days of the New England textile industry. By the early twentieth century, women are present in all layers of the company records. Women comprise more than a third of the stockholders and have entered the factory's administrative offices in clerical jobs. By far the greatest number of women associated with Hamilton, however, are the factory workers who comprised the majority of its 1100 employees. In 1934, the company was hit with a general strike with demands of higher wages, a smaller machine load, equal distribution of work, and a union shop. Company records and newspaper clippings in the collection make it clear that women were active in all aspects of the strike. The strike was led by Miss Janviers (Jean) Gauthier, President of United Textile Workers of America, Local # 2324, who had formulated the demands. Several non-union women workers complained of violence and intimidation, which resulted in arrests of women union members. Miss Anna Weinstock, a representative of the National Textile Relations Board, unsuccessfully attempted to mediate between the parties. When the company closed rather than accept a union shop, it gave as its reason the alleged violence of union workers.Wage and time accountingPayrolls, time book and production records: Volumes KA 1(1825-1830); KB 1 (1928); KC1-2 (1861-1879); KD 1, (1924-1929); KE1 (1927); LA-1 (1823-1838)Employee relations materials including labor organizationMemoranda and clippings on strike: Box PC 3 (1934)Family and financial recordsStock Ledgers: volumes AE 1-3 (1845-1911)Stockholder Lists: Volume AF1

Watching the movie Gone Baby Gone last night spurred my thinking about the complexities of pursuing peace and reconciliation in a world sick with violence. Gone Baby Gone is a brilliant and disturbing film that challenges its viewers to consider the possibility of a moral space between right and wrong.
One question worth pursuing might be this: What would it look like to think well theologically about reconciliation and peace in a world sick with violence? Such thinking would involve, first and foremost, I suggest, consideration of God's relationship to violence, revenge, and peace. Especially in light of recent attempts to distance God from violence, to conceive of an inherently nonviolent God, this line of thinking is all the more critical for a robust doctrine of God in the church.
Let's find our way into the discussion by considering Miroslav Volf's theological exploration of identify, otherness, and reconciliation, Exclusion and Embrace. In the concluding pages he asks a question especially pertinent to our discussion: how do we relate the Crucified Messiah to the Rider of the white horse who seems to deploy violence without any thought of embracing the enemy?
In ways unpopular for many Western theologians, Volf argues that "the certainty of God's judgment at the end of history is the presupposition for the renunciation of violence in the middle of it". In other words, Christians can pursue peace only through displacing and transferring it to God. And to those who seek to separate completely God's relationship to violence, Volf addresses the obvious question:
Why must God say the unrelenting 'no' to a world of injustice, deception, and violence in such a violent way? Why must the 'no' be symbolically coded in the images of terror breaking out and covering the world with blood and ashes? Is nonviolence impotent? One strategy of responding to these questions will not work. The attempt to exonerate the Revelation from the charge of affirming divine violence by suggesting that the Rider's victory was not 'fought with literal weapons,' but with the sword 'which protrudes from his mouth,' which is 'the Word of God'…is implausible. The violence of the divine word is no less lethal that the violence of the literal sword. We must either reject the Rider's violence or find ways to makes sense of it; we cannot deny it. Is there a way of making sense not only of the language of divine 'conquest' but of the phenomenon of divine 'violence' in Revelation?
There are people who trust in the infectious power of nonviolence: sooner or later it will be crowned with success. In this belief, however, one can smell a bit too much of the sweet aroma of a suburban ideology, entertained by people who are neither courageous nor honest enough to reflect on the implication of terror taking place right in the middle of their living rooms (p. 296)!
The necessity of the Rider's judgment lies in the stark reality of those who stubbornly insist on remaining beasts and false prophets, and in so doing have become "untouchable for the lure of God's truth and goodness." If there exist those who refuse what no one deserves, grace, they will experience God's terror not because of the evil they have done, "but because they have resisted to the end the powerful lure of the open arms of the crucified Messiah". Do we give up hope then for the redemption of all? No, at the same time we affirm God's anger and violence, while hoping to the end that even "the flag bearer will desert the army that desires the make war against the lamb" (pp. 298-9).
Volf summarizes his thesis that nonviolence requires a belief in divine vengeance:
Without entrusting oneself to the God who judges justly, it will be hardly possible to follow the crucified Messiah and refuse to retaliate when abused. The certainty of God's just judgment at the end of history is the presupposition for the renunciation of violence in the middle of it. The divine system of judgment is not the flip side of the human reign of terror, but a necessary correlate of human nonviolence. Since the search for truth and the practice of justice cannot be given up, the only way in which nonviolence and forgiveness will be possible in a world of violence is through displacement or transference of violence, not through its complete relinquishment (p. 302).
Reactions? Thoughts?
Is this feasible? Does this provide us with the pastoral resources to walk with people in distress? And to engage politically and socially? Can we pursue peace while relinquishing, transferring, violence to God?

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) August 25, 2014
This month, the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits), the largest order of priests and brothers in the Roman Catholic Church, welcomed 33 men as novices in the U.S.
In late August, Jesuit novices arrived at novitiates in Culver City, California; Grand Coteau, Louisiana; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Syracuse, New York for a rite of passage known as Entrance Day. For the next two years, the novices will spend time praying, working and learning about God, the Jesuits, each other and themselves. The journey from novice to Jesuit priest or brother, a process called formation, can take anywhere from seven to 13 years. It involves years of study and service to the poor and marginalized — in homeless shelters, hospitals and prisons.
A diverse group, this year's novice class ranges from newly graduated students to seasoned professionals; their average age is 28. Nearly 40 percent of the novices attended Jesuit high schools or universities.
"I decided to be a novice because I've fallen in love with the Society," says Kieran Halloran, 22, a novice from New York, who attended the Jesuits' Xavier High School in New York City and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. "After knowing and befriending many Jesuits at school, I knew that this was a group of guys I wanted to be a part of and people whose faith and love I wanted to emulate."
Jesuit Father Timothy P. Kesicki, S.J., president of the Jesuit Conference, the organization that represents the Society of Jesus in the U.S., said, "This is such an exciting time of year for us because we get to know the young men who are answering God's call and entering the Jesuits. Last year as provincial of Chicago-Detroit, I had the privilege of accepting some of these men and seeing firsthand the tremendous gifts that they bring to the Jesuit order."
Novices complete a number of "experiments," experiences recommended by St. Ignatius, founder of the Jesuits, such as working in Jesuit ministries, serving the poor and marginalized and traveling overseas to experience the Society in another country. They complete some form of a pilgrimage and often serve at Jesuit high schools, colleges or retreat houses.
"I feel called to become a novice because it is an opportunity to develop my relationship with God in a very intentional way," says Brendan Gottschall, 24, a New Jersey native who earned his bachelor's degree in economics at Georgetown and worked as a consultant before becoming a Jesuit novice. "I see it as a time set aside to nurturing that relationship through prayer, service and learning so that I can come to a better understanding of God's calling in my life."

Washington Genealogy is being developed as a
genealogical and historical resource for your personal use. While the original
thought was to provide this website as a resource for finding genealogy and
historical data concerning Washington on the web, we have begun adding specific data to this site for your
personal use.
In an attempt to further expand our offerings and
refine your search, we have begun the creation of county websites. Those county
sites can be found in the list of links to the right. While only a small portion
of Washington counties are presently listed, the amount of data for those counties is
quite impressive.
The "Search Washington Genealogy" search on the right
side will search all of the Washington Genealogy website, but will not search the
data linked to from our offsite data pages.

Updated 28-Dec-2009
Listed below are the names of the men who reached the rank of Admiral between the years of 1904 and 1945. The ranks listed here are
the highest recorded for this time period. Those who served beyond 1945
may have ultimately achieved a higher rank than shown here. The list has
been compiled primarily from the ADM 196 series of documents which The
National Archives has kindly allowed me to access. I am still in the
process of completing the four rank lists so, if there is someone you expect
to see here but don't, you may find them on one of the other rank pages
which you can access from 'Flag Officers' on the menu bar above. Also, as
I complete the lists, someone who used to be here may no longer be listed
having been transferred to one of the other ranks as further information
about the highest rank they held came to light.
The rank flags in the columns to the right indicate the extent of information available on each individual. At this stage only basic information is available on most officers. I do have images of the Service Records and Captain's Confidential Reports for the majority of officers now so, if there is someone you are particularly interested in for whom only basic information is held on site do please contact me.

Illinois cemetery search finds 1922 massacre victims
HERRIN -- Researchers believe their excavation of a southern Illinois cemetery has located the likely remains of people killed during a violent 1922 labor strike at a nearby coal mine.
The Herrin City Cemetery search headed by Eastern Illinois University geologist Steven Di Naso and author Scott Doody found four coffins this week matching the description of those used for victims of the Herrin Massacre, the (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reported Friday.
The digging also located the grave site for of Anton Molkovich, a decorated World War I veteran for whose remains Doody had for years been searching. The searchers plan to replace his marker.
"It was a flood of relief to find the coffin hardware and layout of graves and know we had the right people," said Doody, who in April published a book about the massacre.
The excavation began in September, after a judge cleared the way for the work, in the hunt for victims of the massacre that took place during a union strike and killed dozens of replacement workers at the Southern Illinois Coal Co.
Tuesday's discovery also confirmed that some modern burials have taken place atop the remains of the victims of the 1922 bloody, armed skirmish between striking union workers and the temporary miners hired to replace them, Herrin City Councilman Bill Sizemore said. Those talks with the families already are underway, he said.
"Those lots have been sold to three families. They will have a choice if they want the bodies removed for their families to use in the future or if they prefer to leave the men there and trade out lots," said Sizemore, who also serves as Herrin's public works chairman.
Mayor Vic Ritter said plans are afoot to erect a memorial to the massacre's victims.
"Something is going to go up," he said.

One definition of a pathological liar is someone who lies when the truth would do at least as nicely. This article from the Washington Post suggests that former President Clinton did not tell the truth when he said in Iowa this week that he opposed our military action in Iraq "from the beginning."
For Clinton, there are advantages associated with being seen as having opposed to our action in Iraq — an action that most Americans continue to regard as a mistake. However, Clinton's wife, who happens to be running for president, voted in favor of taking military action to remove Saddam Hussein. Thus, as the Post observes, Bill Clinton's claim that he was opposed to the war from the beginning seems to place the soundness of Hillary's judgment on this key matter in doubt, at least in the minds of many voters whose support she covets.
Thus, while the truth (assuming that he did not oppose taking miiltary action in Iraq) might not serve Bill Clinton's purposes, neither does a false statement. Silence would have been the best option — assuming that Bill wants Hillary's campaign to succeed.

Judge to announce verdict in texting suicide trial Friday
The judge in the texting suicide trial of Michelle Carter will announce his verdict Friday at 11 a.m., the judge announced Thursday afternoon.
Carter is charged with manslaughter in the 2014 suicide of 18-year-old Conrad Roy III.
The judge will decide if Carter should be convicted of manslaughter for pushing her boyfriend to commit suicide.
Prosecutors said the then-17-year-old Carter pressured Roy to take his own life through a torrent of text messages. They said she told Roy to "get back in" his truck when he became frightened while trying to kill himself with carbon monoxide.
Judge Lawrence Moniz heard closing arguments Tuesday afternoon from defense attorney Joseph Cataldo and prosecuting attorney Katie Rayburn.
Because the defense waived its right to a jury, he is the only person who will decide on Carter's guilt or innocence.

Subscriptions to Share: New Way to Sell Content or Help Fundraising Online
November 28, 2003
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
While exploring future options for AIDS Treatment News I found a flexible way to sell information or help raise funds online. While AIDS Treatment News may not use it because we want to make our information free, I'm publishing this summary to help small publications and other projects that might benefit. For the full article see the Web link below.
The NeedOne of the biggest obstacles to small publications today is the difficulty of charging low prices for online content. Thousands of people now make a living selling knick-knacks on eBay because they can reach a global market through the Internet. But few writers and editors can make an independent living that way (unless they serve a high-priced, usually corporate market) -- largely because the transaction cost and inconvenience of charging any money at all will greatly reduce readership, probably by 90% or more. Even requiring free registration at a Web site can seriously reduce its use.
The world would be a better place if thousands of individuals and small organizations could make a living writing, editing, or publishing online, charging maybe 25 or 50 cents per newsletter issue, or per article downloaded. I believe the publishing industry has missed opportunities to do this, because of its obsession with preventing subscribers from sharing proprietary information. Designing systems to encourage sharing gives a very different perspective.
Subscriptions That PropagateWe will show how to sell subscriptions online with no registration at all. The publisher does not need a user name, email address, or any other contact information for subscribers. The reason is that all subscribers can break off pieces of their subscription and sell or donate them as totally new subscriptions of whatever size, without the publisher's involvement. These new subscriptions can also reproduce -- and so on to any depth. While the publisher does not need to do anything in this reselling or giving away of his or her information, the publisher does get paid for it -- and can control it, since the publisher's server keeps track of all subscriptions and handles fulfillment.
For example, the publisher can sell one large subscription to a public library, which can then give away hundreds of tiny subscriptions (access to one download, or a handful of them) for clients to use anywhere. Or an individual can buy a subscription and offer dozens of small subscription grants, worth a few dollars each, to anyone anywhere in the world who explains in two or three sentences how they will use it to support a particular cause -- bringing people together around that cause, and putting it on the table for public discussion.
Publishers do not need to contact subscribers when articles come out, since anyone can get notices and summaries through open list serves.
Less obvious consequences of Subscriptions to Share include:
How It WorksThe key to this system is a code we call a "chit," typically eight characters long. With eight characters (each a number or letter, not case sensitive), a publisher, charity, or subscription agency has enough combinations to issue over a million different chits (a million subscriptions) -- and yet if an intruder tries to guess, their chance of getting any correct code to use is less than a million to one. (And if they do get hold of an unauthorized code, all they can do with it is use up the value of that subscription -- which the publisher will probably replace free for the customer, since fulfillment cost is usually zero.)
Each chit gives full access to its subscription; there is no separate user name or password. A subscription may allow a certain number of article downloads from the publisher's Web site. For example, a $20 subscription might give 100 downloads (20 cents each). Subscriptions could also be denominated in currency (such as dollars or euros) instead of downloads.
The chit also gives access to the subscription's account-management page on the publisher's site. Many subscribers will never need to use this page. Others will use it to create and customize new subscriptions, license bulk copies, cancel a subscription if necessary, or for other purposes.
While the chits created by the publisher's server are typically eight random characters, subscribers can create new subscriptions with any new chit name they want, provided it is not already in use by that publisher. These chits can be any length, from just one character to thousands (both these extremes have real uses). The subscriber can add or subtract various powers from each newly created chit, creating customized new subscriptions for distribution to others.
The consequences of theft of a chit are small, so people can carry the code around and use or share it freely. The worst possible loss is the value of the subscription -- and if that is a concern, its owner can create a smaller subscription to carry around or share, while keeping the master in a safe place.
This is just the beginning. Our full article shows how to reduce harm or even gain benefit from unauthorized copies of sold information. It introduces other concepts such as sharing chits among teams; revocable and irrevocable subscriptions; prepaid, renewed, and per-use subscriptions; anonymous subscriptions and why they should cost more; expiration warnings to unknown subscribers; marked donation-only subscriptions; syndication for free use on Web sites; discounts and stop-loss provisions; propagation of restrictions; free or low-cost repeat downloads as a marketing tool; the importance of free information and open list serves for selling content; fully digital collectables that print limited-edition plaques for memorable or historic projects (options include the subscription's own history, art work chosen by its owner, and a secure autograph through public-key cryptography); subscribing to publications, databases, causes, or campaigns; dealing with theft; why chits have little or no street value; creative chit names including single letters, quotes, creeds, or entire documents; customized subscription expiration; and subscriptions as contests, puzzles or games.

This screencast of the SQL Azure Data Sync service covers the details of how SQL Azure Data Sync can be used for Cloud to Cloud database sync (C2C scenarios)- cloud databases within the same data center or cloud databases distributed across different data centers.
These are very handy scenarios when you want to separate your transactional load from reporting loads, or get data closer to the geography of your users, or distribute your user load by scaling out to multiple databases, and so on.
This video will also touch upon the concepts of how SQL Azure Reporting can be used in combination with Data Sync and how you can use filtering feature of Data Sync to synchronize only part of data from one geography to another (lets say from US to Europe).

Short review: They make sure you know there is plenty of material to be gotten with your membership fee to this site, with the live chat, bonus videos and of course all of the bonus sites themselves, with the numbers for stand alone material being fairly decent as well. Quality of video was a bit of teeter-totter effect for me, but it did balance out in the end. The bonus feeds put it over with content count.
Content Amount: Counting the sets that pertain to this mature content, there were 56 entries of video and image galleries, and then bonus movies could be added to that. It doesn't stop there because they have a link for live chat as well as a long list of bonus sites.

Many foreign corporations have chosen Vietnam to become their investment destination to set up business in Vietnam and the most recent project coming from a Korean investor. This is the project to produce tire and automobile airbags of Kolon Industries Corporation (Korea). This "super plant" will be located at Bau Bang Industrial Zone of Binh Duong province.
Mr Tran Thanh Liem – Chairman of Binh Duong Province has just signed a memorandum of understanding with leader of Kolon Industries Group (Korea) concerning the implementation of the plant to produce tire and automobile airbag with investment capital up to 1 billion USD. On this occasion, Becamex IDC Corporation has also announced that Kolon Industries leases from them nearly 42 hectares of land in Bau Bang Industrial Zone (Binh Duong province) to put the plant on.
According to Kolon Industries Corporation, after more than two years of searching and working with many units and localities in and outside the territory of Vietnam, the Corporation has selected the Bau Bang Industrial Park as the location to implement the project to produce tire and automobile air bag in Vietnam. The expected total investment capital of the project for all three phases is about 1 billion USD, in which the Phase 1 from 2017 to 2018 is 220 million USD, Phase 2 from 2018 to 2026 is 600 million USD and after that is the Phase 3.
Established since 1954, Kolon is one of Korea's transnational corporations in multiple industries with high-tech products: tire, automobile air bag, film to use in electricity industry, electronics, fashion….
By the end of October 2016, Binh Duong has 2,818 investment projects from 59 countries and territories with a total capital of 25, 6 billion USD. In particular, Korea is the country ranks 3rd with 594 projects and a total investment of nearly 2.4 billion USD.

Bono Thinks He Sings 'Like a Girl'
After 35 years and more than 150 million records sold as the lead singer of U2, Bono has one of the most recognizable voices in rock music — but that doesn't mean he actually enjoys the sound of it himself.
During a recent appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' he admitted that he never listens to himself sing if he can help it. "If I hear our songs on the radio I tend to turn them down. Not because I don't like them or believe in them. Actually, my voice annoys me. I always think I could have sang it better."
But it isn't just perfectionism that keeps Bono from being able to enjoy his own greatest hits. "I am sort of a macho, Irish guy," he explained to Ellen, "and particularly in those '80s songs, I think I sound like a girl."
We're not exactly sure what sort of women Bono's been hanging out with, but aside from his magnificent '80s mullet, it's hard to hear much that's feminine about the band's classic arena rock. Whatever the reason, the U2 frontman is clearly in a reflective mood lately; he recently admitted that he questions the band's ability to continue making relevant new music. Here's hoping it's just a bit of passing restlessness — "girl's voice" or no, we aren't ready for U2 to hang it up just yet.

Martinez moves on after title bout loss
TIJUANA, Mexico — The knockdown punch. The clash of heads. The stunning and unexpected ending. Raul Martinez never saw a single one of them coming Saturday night.
"It's boxing, so you never know what's going to happen," he said. "But it's over. There's nothing I can do about it now."
The local fighter says he's ready to move on and continue his career.
But it will be awhile before that happens.
Martinez needed seven stitches to close an ugly gash on his right eyebrow suffered during his technical unanimous-decision loss to Rodrigo Guerrero on Saturday at the Auditorio Municipal.
The fight, for the vacant IBF super flyweight title, was scheduled for 12 rounds but lasted only six.
Martinez (28-2, 16 KOs) was dropped and appeared hurt late in the third by a straight left to the nose but otherwise was giving as much as he was taking. He rallied to win the fifth round on all three scorecards.
But the knockdown would prove to be pivotal.
The two fighters banged heads frequently during the bout as Guerrero (16-3-1, 10 KOs), a southpaw, often changed to a conventional stance and back again — in the same round.
The final switch came in the sixth, with their heads colliding at the 1:07 mark. Martinez winced and swiped at the blood with his gloved hand but finished the round.
"When he got back to the corner, he said his eye was throbbing," said his cutman, Joe Villanueva. "He had a couple of other small cuts that I was able to take care of. I couldn't do anything with this one."
Referee Pat Russell looked at the eye and called the ringside physician to examine it. Dr. Jose Luis Hernandez held up three fingers and asked Martinez to count them, using only his right eye.
"I can't see," Martinez responded, explaining to the doctor that his eye was too cloudy because of the blood.
Hernandez reacted immediately, calling a halt to the bout.
"A fighter can't fight with one eye," he said.
As Martinez protested, Guerrero jumped onto the shoulders of a cornerman, thinking he had a TKO.
But Russell ruled that the cut on Martinez's eyebrow was caused by an accidental head butt and not a punch. That meant the fate of both fighters was left in the hands of the judges.
Two of the three, Marty Denkin and Chris Wilson, saw it 57-56 for Guerrero. Tom Miller's score was a head-scratcher — 59-54.
The Express-News had it 57-56 for Guerrero.
If not for the knockdown, the fight easily could have ended in a majority draw.
Martinez is convinced he won despite the knockdown, just as he believes he beat Guerrero in their first match a year ago in Oklahoma.
Then, he won a close, split decision. Guerrero complained he was robbed.
Martinez was attempting to join San Antonio's pantheon of world champions — "Jesse" James Leija, John Michael Johnson and the late Robert Quiroga.
That will have to wait.
"I'll still consider myself an elite fighter," Martinez said Sunday. "I'll try to get another title shot, and soon.
"As soon as I heal up from this."

How did you break into film animation on a professional basis?
My first job out of school was with Rhythm and Hues in Hollywood. They are probably best known for their commercial work, especially the Coca-Cola polar bears. Mostly they taught me how to use the computers, because at the time the programs were really expensive and the schools couldn't afford them. I did a lot of 3-D modeling, texturing. It was really like graduate school for me; basically, the first six months, I was being trained in all aspects of computer animation. I worked on commercials, and mostly on an awful film called Hocus Pocus, and I was the lead animator for a motion-based ride called SeaFari.
I was at Rhythm and Hues not a quite a year when I heard Disney's Pixar was hiring animators to develop Toy Story, which was the first fully computer animated film. Basically, the whole Pixar operation was located in small warehouse; it was a fun time to be there. I was a lead animator on Toy Story, and worked on it for about two years. I animated a lot on that film and gained a good reputation.
Once the movie was done, I told them I had an interest in supervising others, so I became the animation director for the CD-ROM/Shorts Division at Pixar; it was basically stuff connected with the Toy Story movie, the interactive CD-ROM activity center, animated story book ,etc.
After that A Bug's Life (1998) came around, I was offered the job of supervising animator. During that film, Pixar started working on a direct to video of Toy Story 2, and I was asked to co-direct that project. I couldn't say no to such a great opportunity. After a year and a half of successful screenings, the film was green-lighted for a theatrical release. Shortly after, John Lasseter, the original director of Toy Story, came aboard to direct the film for the last eight months of production.
How did your career unfold from there? Tell us about some of the film projects you've worked on.
I really began to miss the days of when Pixar was small and we were the underdog. At that time, I heard ILM (Industrial Light + Magic, Lucasfilm Ltd.), wanted to start it's own animation division. George Lucas had been my hero since Star Wars came out when I was 7, so I thought this was a good time to work for the man who was my original inspiration.
ILM never really did get their act together doing animation like Pixar; so mainly I did special effects there. In 1999, I worked on Magnolia, a live action film with Tom Cruise. The film was filled with heavy drama and at the end, frogs fall from the sky. They started with rubber frogs and it looked so bad, they came to ILM for effects. I did an animated test recreating real frogs, which was cool because most of the stuff I had worked on before that were computer generated cartoons. I worked in the ILM features group, on some short digital films, and on some effects for The Mummy Returns; I don't really like those kinds of movies, they're sort of popcorn films that pay the bills.
But right after that is when the exciting stuff started happening. I heard that Steven Spielberg wanted to redo E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, and replace the animatronics puppet performance, which at first I thought was silly, because it was perfect already, right?
So I flew to Los Angeles, and sat down with Spielberg. He initially said he wanted to re-do about 20 shots. We watched all of the original E.T. together; he'd stop it once in while. As we watched, he was telling me all of these great stories, like 'that was the best dog we ever worked with.' It was the best director's commentary ever, because I was sitting right next to him. I saw sequences that were cut from the original – and the reasons why they were cut. By the time we were done reviewing the original E.T., the original 20 or shots grew to something like 100 to 120 shots.
It was hard, because we'd watch a classic scene like E.T. and Elliot first meeting, screaming at each other, and we had to look with a critical eye, forgetting it was a classic. It was a great experience, as the supervising animator, I got to direct all of the new animation. The most important thing was to keep the flavor of the original; the great thing about real world puppets is that they always moved with a gritty kind of motion which we didn't want to completely remove.
It was very rewarding to have Mr. Spielberg say, "This is great idea or expression." We made stark (and hopefully transparent) improvements to the original; it was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. After E.T., I worked as the supervising animator on Men in Black 2, but my work on it was deemed 'too Pixar' and I got booted.
Then I was asked to work as animation director on The Hulk, under director Ang Lee (from Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragon) and the visual effects supervisor, Dennis Muren, who is the one of the biggest names in special effects. In the film world, visual effects supervisors are in charge of lighting, shadows and making effects look real; the animation director is in charge of how the characters move and act.
I got wonderful experience with motion capture technology on The Hulk. The hardest 3-D animation I have ever done was on the The Hulk, particularly the fight between the Hulk and the mutant dogs. The computer-generated Hulk wasn't created until the filming sequences were over, and director Ang Lee wanted us to motion capture athletes. In motion capturing, sensors are placed on a human body wearing a black skin suit, then you sample and record how a human moves in 3-D; you can then map the movements and transfer them to any computer character. Ang wasn't happy with what we captured from any of the athletes or actors, so we put him in the suit and he acted it out for us. It was a great personal experience working with him; he's a wonderful human being with gentle kind of soul. The Hulk ended up being a moodier, darker film than people expected.
The next project I worked on was Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was very challenging to re-create a human baby. On The Hulk, we motion captured attack dogs, so on Lemony Snicket, we figured, 'why not babies.' We built tiny motion capture suits, and we brought in a bunch of babies and sampled their movements. In sampling, you don't have to follow the motion perfectly; you can edit it in the computer.
My 2-year-old daughter Grace became my best reference. In one scene the baby wrestles a snake. And I thought, hey I'm wrestling with my 2-year old every night when I get home from work, I dangle her by an ankles pretty regularly, why not do it in a motion capture suit? So for a few key baby shots in the film, the motion is modeled on my daughter.
Tell us about your work on Yankee Irving.
Pixar had grown to be a giant by this point. That's when I got 'really Hollywood,' and I got an agent. I used the ton of vacation time I had built up, and I interviewed at every single big studio in LA that had an original digital feature on the boards. I figured something would land, and it did.
I had heard about IDT Entertainment on the East Coast, a start-up that is aggressively trying to be the next Pixar. But the company didn't have any experience in animated films. It was originally a phone company; the owners bought up the studios that do animated TV like The Simpsons and The Family Guy, and they bought a live action studio. Christopher Reeve was directing an animated feature film called Yankee Irving from his wheelchair before he died. IDT wanted to complete it, and that's how I got involved as the director. It's a wholesome, family film with a baseball theme, a blend of action, heart, and comedy. We think our story is as strong as anything out there.
What do you find most rewarding about your career in film animation? Most challenging?
Working on the high school theater program productions kept my sanity throughout high school, and I've found the kind of high I got working on a high school production is no different that the feeling I get today. It might be a $100 million film, but there's no difference in commitment. This is what I love to do.
The negatives are the hours I work, and the time I have to fly around and be away from my family. When I first started with this new job, I was living in San Francisco, and was commuting by plane to LA, New York and Toronto. Then I'd fly home for the weekend. This job was rough initially; it's a five to six hour flight from Toronto to California. This fall, I moved my whole family to Toronto for a year. It's more difficult than I ever anticipated, its also more rewarding. I'm at the point now where I feel I'm in the best job ever.
Co-directing for a year and a half on Toy Story 2 was huge, but there were so many masters between Pixar, Disney, and Mattel; I was director, but I felt like a manager. The job I'm doing now gives me more creative hold everywhere, in story, character design, lighting, camera, music and editing. I've got input into the whole thing.
Films you have been a part of have been recognized by prestigious film organizations and film critics alike. How important is this recognition (as well as awards and accolades) to you, personally, to your career and to the field of animation?
For the most part, any recognition is more something that my parents are interested in more than I am. Right now I'm not part of Oscar Academy or the Film Society; technically one needs three film credits to get in academy, and then you vote on the films that win the academy awards. I haven't applied. To me, it's kind of a minus that box office results have an impact on the awards process.
Lemony Snicket's and The Hulk were pre-Oscar finalists for visual effects. Every year before films get voted into Oscar, they have what they consider the pre-Oscar bake-off, where they trim eight or nine nominees down to three or four Oscar finalists. You have to pitch your film, give a presentation on the effects to 3,000 industry people. To me, it was an honor to present my work to the 3,000 people who are making all of these films.
It would be cool to get that Oscar someday, but more for my parents than for me. They still call me up to tell me, "We have your high school band letter."
My reward is to continue to work in the business, make quality films, and put my daughters through school. I can't picture retiring…I hope to be working on movies like this until I'm an old man. Working in this industry is the real reward.
I was a presenter in at the 2003 SigGraph, an annual computer convention, spoke to 3,000-plus people about special effects in a special session called "Creatures, Critters & Clones: Styles and Techniques Unique to Industrial Light + Magic." To me, being invited to be a part of SigGraph, recognized as a top person in the profession, is just as important as getting a statue.
What do you consider some of the highlights of your career thus far?
Experiences such as directing major stars like Tom Hanks are definite highlights. Here I am, reading lines with him, and it's sort of like an out of body experience. Just recently, I was directing Rob Reiner. He's best known as being the character Meathead on All in the Family, but he's directed films including The Princess Bride and is tied into the Ron Howard community.
To actually direct a Top 25 player in Hollywood -- those are highlight moments. Finding out they are talented, normal people, not the jerks you might expect is always a pleasant surprise.

Pellegrini plays down trophy talk
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is not even entertaining thoughts that a first trophy could be within his grasp.
Pellegrini's side are firm favourites to secure a place in the Capital One Cup final as they host struggling West Ham in the first leg of their last-four tie on Wednesday night.
Victory in the competition would get Pellegrini off to a fine start having been charged with the task of winning five trophies in as many seasons when appointed last summer.
This season offers many opportunities with City also well placed in the Barclays Premier League and still in both the Champions League and FA Cup, but Pellegrini refuses to look too far ahead.
He said: "I think it is important for the club, for the team, for everyone, to play a semi-final against West Ham and try to win.
"After we beat West Ham we can talk about the final at Wembley, but we have two steps more to beat West Ham here and then in London.
"I repeat, after we finish the semi-final, we can talk about the trophy."
With a formidable home record behind them and some outstanding goalscoring form, City are capable of putting the game beyond the beleaguered Hammers in the first leg.
But Pellegrini, whose side have scored 86 goals this season, said: "We are not thinking about that. We are thinking first to win.
"We have the second leg to play and in football it is never finished.
"We are thinking about winning the two games. We must win here and then see what we can do away."
Pellegrini has given no indication which goalkeeper will start.
Costel Pantilimon, who is now once again second choice to Joe Hart, returned for last weekend's FA Cup draw at Blackburn but was at fault for Rovers' equaliser.
Pellegrini says that error will not affect his decision.
He said: "I analysed the performance with the players and we will see which goalkeeper will start.
"I don't know exactly how many changes but we will make some."
Pantilimon had a run in the side which included seven Premier League games before Hart was restored just before Christmas.
Pellegrini claims many factors influence his selection.
He said: "I don't think that because one player makes a mistake he must lose his place.
"I have a lot of different things for why I take the decision which one will play."

Enterprise Architects as Strategists
The conversation at the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit was very interesting last week. They central them for years had been idea of closely linking enterprise architecture with the goals and strategy. This year, Gartner added another layer to that conversation. They are now actively promoting the idea of enterprise architects as strategists.
The reason why is simple. The next wave of change is coming and it will significantly disrupt everybody. Even worse, your new competitors may be coming from other industries.
Enterprise architects are in a position to take a leading role within the strategy process. This is because they are the people who best understand both business strategy and technology trends.
Some of the key ideas discussed included:
- The boundaries between physical and digital products will blur
- Every organization will need a technology strategy to survive
- Gartner predicts that by 2017: 60% of the Global 1,000 will execute on at least one revolutionary and currently unimaginable business transformation effort.
- The change is being driven by trends such as mobile, social, the connectedness of everything, cloud/hybrid, software-defined everything, smart machines, and 3D printing.
I agree with all of this. My view is that this means that it is time for enterprise architects to think very differently about architecture. Enterprise applications will come and go. They are rapidly being commoditized in any case. They need to think like strategists; in terms of market differentiation. And nothing will differentiate an organization more than their data. Example: Google autonomous cars. Google is jumping across industry boundaries to compete in a new market with data as their primary differentiator. There will be many others.
Thinking data-first
Years of thinking of architecture from an application-first or business process-first perspective have left us with silos of data and the classic 'spaghetti diagram" of data architecture. This is slowing down business initiative delivery precisely at the time organizations need to accelerate and make data their strategic weapon. It is time to think data-first when it comes to enterprise architecture.
You will be seeing more from Informatica on this subject over the coming weeks and months.
Take a minute to comment on this article. Your thoughts on how we should go about changing to a data-first perspective, both pro and con are welcomed.
Also, remember that Informatica is running a contest to design the data architecture of the year 2020. Full details are here.

Too late, unfortunately. If HP has actually open-sourced AdvFS years ago, when they announced the discontinuation of Tru64, things would have been a lot better for us.
