I'm often asked by friends, in that same sort of "can you teach me how to draw?" way I'm sure every artist is familiar with, things like "omg! How do you like write music?" They insist that they could never possibly do such an insanely cool thing as composing, which, as someone in whose life music plays a very strong role, strikes me as ridiculous. I'm like, "just hit random keys and stuff comes out."
But for the sake of those people, and, of course, you the reader, I'm going to explain the pain-stakingly easy process of writing a song! And I'm not even talking the pluck-four-chords-on-your-banjo-and-you're-the-next-Taylor-Swift kind of song. If you're looking for that department, try the next room over.
Because here, we're writing some hardcore music. Read on to get started.
How to Write a Song in a Minute
You Will Need:
music software
some sense of rhythm
¼ tsp. creativity
6 potatoes, peeled
Approximate Baking Time:
- ten minutes
- makes 1 serving(s)
Choosing Your Software
While you could just as easily pull out the old didgeridoo and throw some A♭ diminished triads into a tape recorder and call it a day, if that's your musical conduit, you, like, won't even be able to put it on Facebook for your great uncle Larry and aunt Therese to see. Err, hear.
So what we'll be using is some nifty-swifty musical notation software. But there are so many on the internet, how will we know which one to pick? That honestly depends on your preferences and your musical experience. Let's say you're something like our hypothetical figure Jane. Jane can't tell a dotted quarter note from leggiero articulation (which I just find really funny!), so she's likely going to need to look into software that uses a piano roll. Now what, Jane may be asking herself, in the hey is a piano roll? Is it like a jelly roll, with less jam and more ivory?
Above is a screenshot from the audio software Mixcraft, which uses a piano roll for musical notation. On the left you have your piano keys (hence the complex term "piano" in the name), starting at a C5. Though that's just where I was; by scrolling up or down you can input little notes into the spaces pictured above at any pitch — the piano roll is a very good visual-spatial representation of how high or low your note will be if you can't read traditional music well.
At this point in time, Jane is probably slamming her theoretical face onto a theoretical desk in frustration! "Omg!" she may be saying, "How am I even supposed to know how to write music! This is nothing like dragging Garageband loops onto tracks to make a song!!1one!!!"
To which I would perhaps respond "jaen u ar so dum!!1 i well talk about musick theory latur!!" But enough of my illiteracy — let's discuss your other option for writing a song.
Our second hypothetical figure of example we're going to call Liam. Liam has studied the fine workings of music since he was first conceived (rest assured it was, indeed, a very painful delivery for the mother, they had to have a c-section just to fit the whole symphonic orchestra through) yet has never actually settled down to compose some of his own.
For Liam, someone who is accustomed to sheet music, adjusting to piano roll style notation may actually prove to be more of a challenge. Fortunately, there are boat loads of software available that utilize a score-styled notation system, such as the one pictured above from the software Anvil Studio (which, by the way, I use religiously as a crutch).
Scores prove useful for more advanced composers over piano rolls, as the type of software that uses them is generally geared less towards producing the sound of the music and more on the actual sheets, so you can print them out for all your home skillets to play at your next benefit concert (though frankly, if you need a basic guide on composing music yet you've already booked yourself a performance, I'm concerned).
Now that you've been acquainted to the two basic styles of getting music out of your head and you have a basic idea of what kind of software you'll need, we'll see what you have available after the break.

Today is April 20, 2019 -
1031 Manzanita Lane, Reno, NV 89509
Phone: (775) 825-5600
Email: email@example.com
This time each year it is the responsibility of the President of the Congregation to deliver an address to report on the state of the Temple.
Congregation Temple Emanu-El is stable, our membership is growing, and under the leadership of our Rabbi Mark Fasman learning opportunities continue to attract and enrich the lives of all of us.
So what accomplishments can we share?
We celebrated many lifecycle events this year:
And this year marked the passing of beloved members including Sam and Bea, may their memories be blessed.
Last year at this time, Rabbi Fasman was still getting his bearings, familiarizing himself with the new space we prepared for him. Permit me to say it again, if not for the work of Hershel Rosenbaum, Marc Siegel, Barry Bernson, and John Duerson, Rabbi's office and workspace would not have been completed … thank you to you all.
We kicked off this year with a new Board. Suzanne and John stepped down presenting the opportunity for new contributions from Larisa Fratkin, Daniel Farahi, and Madeline Burak. Suzanne's years of service and dedication to our Temple have been remarkable, thank you. John, and Catherine, this Congregation is forever grateful for your leadership, your love of the Jewish people and your generosity.
So now it's up to the new Board, and the new blood, to catalyze our work … together.
Working with me on our Board are Marty Ozer, Iris Frank, Nancy Morse, Marc Siegel, Alan Liebman, Marc Golberg, Michael Lampert, Merle Levy, Daniel Farahi and Larisa Fratkin. Thank you all for time, your talent and your energy. Our work touches vital areas of Temple life including financial stewardship, membership, and building maintenance, to name a few.
I mentioned financial stewardship – thank you Michael Lampert and Marc Golberg for your many years of devoted time and effort.
Under Alan Liebman's lead, our membership has grown and continues to grow. Welcome all of you to our Congregation, to our family.
And we are particularly grateful to have someone such as Marc Siegel help us manage our building maintenance. By his hours and effort generously contributed, Marc has guided the process enabling us to begin to stabilize the mechanical systems – friends, we have HVAC units on the rooftop that in some cases are 30 years old and many lacking proper preventative maintenance – so we are getting control of this, and soon improving the lighting throughout.
And there is important work taking place in the Religious school – we are so fortunate to have Alice Fasman jump in and lead the instruction for our children. The religious school had seven children. This year is equally promising.
I believe many of you have noticed that our kitchen remains locked. Again, thank you Alice and others for taking control to ensure the adherence to kashrut.
Have you been to a Men's Club event? Why yes, and that's because Barry Bernson, Donne Levy, Edgar Roberts, and John Duerson have really done a remarkable job energizing the activity … thank you.
And where would we be without Robin Kazel. Robin has pretty much singlehandedly taken over Sisterhood and seen to it that this vitally important activity continues. Robin led the Passover Seder this year, on the first night of Passover we hosted nearly 90 people here at Temple. Wow!
Rabbi introduced music to accompany Friday Kabbalat services. Thanks to Heidi for your generous support of this effort. I look forward to many more of these.
There are many paths to participation in our Temple. We have several active committees. Mark Frank is chair of the Ritual Committee – we can all thank Mark for his work, among other things, planning and executing the organization of these High Holidays.
Thank you to our greeters and our ushers.
This year, again, we are so fortunate to have Raffi's magnificent voice and spirit fill our souls. We have several people to thank for making this possible. Alan and Sue Leibman and Catherine and John Farahi … thank you for your generosity.
We have a Building Committee led by Marc Golberg. This is and will always be a busy responsibility. David Pierce leads Chessed. Thank you, David, for all you do.
Soon, the Nominating Committee will convene again. Nancy, Shari and Leslie will be looking for individuals willing and able to serve in open positions on our Board. I have mentioned Ritual, Building, and Chessed. We also have a Kitchen Committee, and we need to form Fundraising and Social Action Committees … but first we need you. We need your participation, your time, your talent, your energy, all of which go to strengthen our Congregation.
If I have omitted you in these acknowledgements, forgive me.
In truth, we are fortunate to have so many to thank.
Oh, before I forget, Harriet. Thank you for your energy, your commitment, and your service to Congregation Temple Emanu-El.
Volunteer engagement is a science. It is governed by the laws of social attraction. People with similar interests are drawn together, the cumulative effect of their energies work to attract other like-minded to participate.
Friends, our Reno Jewish community is probably not unlike so many other Jewish communities. It's not like the old days, where generations of families lived, worked and built communities together. No. Rather, our roots do not run deep, our roots run wide, few of us have multi-generation family rooted in Reno. For me and Nancy, our family, once within easy driving distance in Great Neck, New York, is now spread across Florida, Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, Colorado and Nevada. The point is this, WE are family, and all of US contribute to make OUR family our community woven together in tradition, friendship, love and responsibility. And permit me to go further, this family characteristic that describes being Jewish in Reno is probably not new to Reno. As we approach Congregation Temple Emanu-El's 100-year anniversary, think about the members and families that came before us, about their love of tradition, ritual, and family. Who is standing to say kaddish for them? I will tell you who, it needs to be us. Just as family members that precede us expect us to honor their memory in ritual – and just as this community, our community is our family – well then so should our practice include the honor and respect owed to those that worked, lived and sacrificed to build Congregation Temple Emanu-El and sustain it for 100 years.
A gut gebentsht yohr – A good and blessed year.
L'shanah tovah tikateiv v'techateim – May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
Wishing you and your family a new year filled with sweetness and joy.

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) performs audits of prime contractor, subcontractor, and grantee (contractor) organizations. A DCAA audit does not negotiate or administer any contracts, but advises Contracting Officers who do. The financial and operational nature of a DCAA audit considers internal controls - in addition to compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), applicable (DoD, NASA, etc.) supplements, plus other contract terms and conditions (Acts and other regulations). Because DCAA is an independent agency, audits benefit more than armed services contracts, but may include those of all DoD components, NASA, Foreign Military Service (contracts administered by the U.S. Government), and other federal government agencies.
Some audit topics include:
A DCAA audit might focus on a cost proposal for a terminated contract, the Earned Value Management System, interface between material management and accounting, and other topics. Information about many types of DCAA audits with their specific steps and objectives can be found on their web site at: www.dcaa.mil/audit_program_directory.html. Checklists to prepare for DCAA Audits can be found at: www.dcaa.mil/checklist_and_tools.html.

One particular point on which I take leave from the libertarian capitalists is the gold standard for money. According to the gold standard, gold is the most objective standard on which to base a currency. Most currencies have gotten gradually further from the gold standard; whereas a dollar used to be redeemable for a certain amount of gold, it is now just a symbol of the credit of the United States government.
My problem with the gold standard is who starts out with the gold. Historically, gold has been stolen and hoarded by monarchs as a sign of their position. Whoever owns the gold mines owns the gold. It also just doesn't sit right with me that an arbitrary natural resource should serve as a standard on which social interactions are based.
What is the purpose of money? The standard story is that money developed out of the inefficiencies of barter. Without money, if I am a farmer and I want a piece of machinery I could only give the manufacturer so many bushels of wheat, which may not be useful to him. The wheat would be useful to a baker, but he has only bread to trade; but I don't need that much bread, and neither does the manufacturer.
The solution with a gold standard for money is that I can offer some amount of gold to the manufacturer for his machinery, which he and others can then give in smaller parts to the baker for his bread, and which the baker can offer to me for my wheat. Gold is offered as a standard for money because it is durable and divisible, and because it does not grow on trees, as the saying goes.
Money evolved toward credit with the growth of banking. If I put my gold into a bank for safekeeping, the bank will give me a note promising to return the gold on demand. While the paper the note is written on is not as durable as gold, the contractual relationship of the promise is as durable as the force of law, and the paper is more convenient to carry.
Since a promise for gold backed by the force of law is practically as valuable as the gold itself, I can now trade the promissory note for the manufacturer's machinery so that he can redeem the note, save it, or trade it again. At this point we are using the bank's notes as a paper currency, but a currency backed completely by an exact amount of gold.
But the business of a bank is not merely to store the gold of its customers. The business of a bank is to profit from loans. A bank pays interest on deposits to its depositors for the privilege of loaning those deposits out and collecting a higher interest on loans than it pays on deposits. But instead of loaning out the gold directly, the bank may just give more of its promissory notes to its debtors in exchange for their promise to return the principal plus interest over time.
This kind of credit through bank loans is essential for a growing economy, but the effect is that now the bank has less gold in its vaults than it has given out in promissory notes. The difference is made up by the promises of the bank's debtors. But it now becomes impossible for the bank to honor all of its notes if they were to be presented at once. The bank takes this risk, but so do all of its depositors and anyone who honors the bank's notes as currency. The bank must make up enough from the interest on good loans to cover both its profit margin and any amount lost to bad loans, but it is vulnerable to runs as long as it has any amount loaned out.
Now, a government-backed currency is precisely this kind of promissory note, issued by the government's central bank. The central bank keeps the government's gold on reserve, and loans its notes to private banks and individuals.
The death of the gold standard comes when the bank declares that its notes are no longer redeemable for gold at all, so as to avoid the risk of runs. The actual effect of such a declaration is to give the bank virtually unlimited discretion over giving out loans—it no longer has to worry so much about giving bad loans, because its deposits are safe regardless, and it thereby gives itself arbitrary power over the money supply, if its notes are still treated as money.
Of course a truly private bank would not be able to do such a thing. Its notes were given out as contractual promises, which cannot be unilaterally modified. But a government's central bank can, practically even if not morally, and it can do the same for private banks, or at least offer them insurance against runs. And this is exactly what modern central banks such as that of the United States have done.
On this progression of the gold standard's death I agree with the libertarian capitalists. However, the basis of money purely on credit actually makes more sense to me than the gold standard. So I have wondered if a society could arrive at credit-based money more directly, rationally, and morally.
So imagine again the several people stranded on the island, from the earlier discussion of property rights. When they arrive no one owns anything on the island but for one's own mind and its potential. They are aware of the concept and utility of money but they have none; even if they did have money from home, it would not matter much here.
The group realizes that if they are going to establish a living on this island they will develop an economy and will need some form of equity accounting, such as money. They could let it develop by way of barter, or they could intentionally design a money system from the start, since they are already familiar with the concept. (Of course, if the group is small and familial, they may choose to live communally, but for the purpose of this thought experiment they will be participating in the sphere of equity.)
A system of money will be useful for several purposes. Most immediate is as a lubricant of trade, as a more efficient alternative to barter. But also the group will want to account for their usage of natural resources, which as discussed before are an object of common interest, for the group are collectively the stewards of nature on the island. And the group may also want some way of accounting for public works, for common infrastructure and the costs of administration of law.
After contemplating the issue for a couple of weeks, Joe proposes a system that he refers to as "sociocosmic accounting". It starts from the idea of money as credit made public. If Lisa would like Joe to perform a service for her, before either of them has any money, Joe may extend her private credit in the form of Lisa's promise to perform some service of like value in the future. Such credit depends on Lisa's trustworthiness, and is a private agreement between her and Joe. Because it involves only Lisa and Joe it suffers from the same problems as barter: Perhaps Joe is not interested in the services that Lisa may offer, but he is interested in Ed's services and Ed is interested in Lisa's services.
To get past these issues of private credit, Joe suggests kickstarting a money system with a concept of public credit. Specifically, the group would collectively extend an initial amount of credit publicly and equally to each person on the island. This would be accounted as coming from a conceptual "social trust" to keep track of how much credit had been created in this way. The social trust is thus the source of all money in the system. Such money as public credit is durable, divisible, and transferable; Joe and Lisa now need only agree on an amount of credit in terms of the amounts they have received from the social trust, which will be subtracted from Lisa's credit and added to Joe's, and which Joe will then be able to transfer to Ed in exchange for his services, and so forth.
Joe has suggestions for the other purposes of money as well. Since no person is considered to own the natural resources of the island, but the group is considered collectively as stewards of those resources, he suggests accounting for the use of natural resources by deposits into a conceptual "cosmic trust" to be administered collectively along with the social trust. The group would set prices, limits, and other conditions on the use of natural resources, and payment for such use would be deposited into the cosmic trust. This cosmic trust would be a sink for money in the system; once deposited in it, money would be considered untouchable. It is important, Joe points out, to keep the accounting of the two trusts, social and cosmic, separate, so as to maintain the cognitive distinction between their purposes.
As for paying for public works, sociocosmic accounting offers an alternative to taxation by force. Public works—the administration of law at the very least—can be paid for directly out of the social trust rather than requiring each person to give back a certain amount of credit on threat of punishment. However, Joe points out, this does have a similar economic effect to taxation: By issuing additional credit, the existing credit at large in the system is slightly devalued. Therefore the extent to which credit can be issued from the social trust must be constitutionally limited to either truly public works or equally to all citizens, and such issuance must be reluctantly exercised.
One final variable to be determined by law is whether each citizen is issued credit from the social trust in one lump sum upon becoming a citizen, or incrementally on an annual basis. The latter would not be designed as a living income, but merely as lubricant flowing into the economy. It would, however, open up the possibility of different kinds of monetary policy, increasing or decreasing the flow of money into the economy according to economic conditions. In presenting his proposal, Joe expresses a certain distaste at that kind of central economic planning, but he asserts that it is consistent with the principles of sociocosmic accounting.
So they implemented Joe's proposal and lived happily every after. §

What to do about the coming video explosion
Pete Steege's Storage Effect is commenting today on an ABI report that highlights the explosion of video content on the web, which expected to increase to one billion viewers by 2013. Steege's response is that the report ignores the "digital home," which will no doubt become ubiquitous in the coming years.
I agree, and would add that there are still other things driving video storage growth as well, such as a drastic increase in the number of video surveillance cameras and their resolution. But mainly, what I see is that the storage problem itself could actually be solved to a great extent with the proper optimization. For video, since video files are already compressed for transmission, the proper storage optimization has to include both video-specific recompression and video-specific deduplication.
For video on the internet, you have two related but different problems. One is to store the vast amount of content that is being generated. The second is provide the bandwidth needed for high-definition viewing of hot content.
Most video content is not hot. People upload thousands of hours of video per day to popular sites like YouTube, but only a small fraction of that gets wide viewership. It all needs to be stored, but the key thing for most of it is to store it cheaply. That's going to mean not just cheap disks, but video-specific storage optimization that greatly reduces the size of the video files.
The relatively few videos (meaning, a couple hundred a day) that do become popular won't be so aggressively compressed, or they'll be compressed for bandwidth rather than for storage optimization. That is, solving the speed problem for the hot stuff that everyone is watching is easy – it will be replicated and cached, and people will get access to their hot shows and user-contributed videos. Solving the "store 900 Petabytes of user-generated video really cheaply" problem is not so easy to solve.
Another major optimization of video storage is that most videos that most people want access to is duplicated across many homes. Today, a blockbuster movie, a hit TV show, a TiVo of the big game – these are all stored hundreds of thousands of times across millions of households.
As video storage moves to cloud storage services, a lot of that can be deduplicated. For entire licensed content (e.g., a studio movie) that's relatively easy – you'd say, here are 10,000,000 users uploading their copy of the Lion King…let's just save one. But to get real optimization, cloud storage providers are going to want to be able to find and compress video at finer granularity than that. Let's say there's a football game broadcast on ABC in some markets, and carried by ESPN (with different commercials) in another market. User A records it in standard def. User B records it in high def. The user in Atlanta records it from ABC. The user in Portland records in from ESPN. To be efficient, you'll want storage optimization that recognizes that those users are all uploading versions of the same thing, and takes out the redundant information as part of the compression / deduplication process.
Without aggressive storage optimization – including video-specific compression and dedupe – the explosive growth of video content is going to overwhelm storage capability.
One Response to 'What to do about the coming video explosion'
This is a big concern these days. I think even the skeptics can now agree that cloud storage is going to be the only truly efficient solution for these companies. the media libraries have to go somewhere. there are a few different cloud storage providers but i think the one that would be best-suited for these companies would be Nirvanix. they have built in video and audio transcoding services, which is a big plus for the media companies

Jose Mourinho compares Man Utd spending to Man City and says: 'It's not enough'
Last Updated: 27/12/17 11:35am
Jose Mourinho claimed Manchester United will need to spend more money and says Manchester City "buy full-backs for the price of strikers".
United could fall 15 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City if their rivals win at Newcastle on Wednesday following a 2-2 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford.
It might even have been worse for Mourinho's men had Jesse Lingard not come off the bench to score twice, including a stoppage-time equaliser, after the visitors had opened up a 2-0 lead.
Responding to a question that such a gap might be unacceptable for a club of United's stature, Mourinho said in his press conference: "One thing is a big club and another thing is a big football team. They are two different things.
LISTEN: Transfer Talk podcast
Click here to listen to the latest Transfer Talk podcast where the futures of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Virgil van Dijk, Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho were discussed
"We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a football team that is not one of the best teams in the world. Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers. When you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking about the history of the club."
When it was pointed out United have spent heavily - roughly £286m - since Mourinho took charge in 2016, the Portuguese replied: "OK, (but) it is not enough. The price for the big clubs is different than for the other clubs.
"The big historical clubs, they are normally punished in the market because of their history."
Mourinho was then asked if he intended to spend big in the January transfer window but left the room before answering.
Prior to that, he bemoaned his side's defending. United conceded within three minutes to Ashley Barnes after failing to clear a free-kick into the box.
After being unhappy with the goals conceded in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leicester, he said such defending should be described with a word beginning with S. He left the actual word to the imagination of those present.
He said: "Another 's' goal. I don't need to say the other letters of the word. That is what we are having now, lots of 's' goals against so that has an impact on the game."

A medical history and physical examination should be undertaken to diagnose erectile dysfunction and determine potential underlying causes, before pharmacological treatment is considered.
Cardiovascular risk factors
Prior to initiating any treatment for erectile dysfunction, physicians should consider the cardiovascular status of their patients, since there is a degree of cardiac risk associated with sexual activity. Sildenafil has vasodilator properties, resulting in mild and transient decreases in blood pressure (see section 5.1). Prior to prescribing sildenafil, physicians should carefully consider whether their patients with certain underlying conditions could be adversely affected by such vasodilatory effects, especially in combination with sexual activity. Patients with increased susceptibility to vasodilators include those with left ventricular outflow obstruction (e.g., aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy), or those with the rare syndrome of multiple system atrophy manifesting as severely impaired autonomic control of blood pressure.
Buy Cenforce 25mg potentiates the hypotensive effect of nitrates (see section 4.3).
Serious cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, sudden cardiac death, ventricular arrhythmia, cerebrovascular haemorrhage, transient ischaemic attack, hypertension and hypotension have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with the use of Cenforce 25mg. Most, but not all, of these patients had pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors. Many events were reported to occur during or shortly after sexual intercourse and a few were reported to occur shortly after the use of Cenforce 25mg without sexual activity. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these factors or to other factors.

Amanda Palmer
words by Dan Brian | photo by Beth Hommel
Posted by nathan • 3/10/09 • Categorized as features
Originally published in Verbicide issue #25
Amanda Palmer, the punk-cabaret queen who haunts all our hearts with triumphant screams and grief stricken cries of melancholy, has taken a brief side-step into the solo realm with her latest outing, Who Killed Amanda Palmer? I recently sat down the Dresden Dolls' front lady to get a glimpse of the inner workings behind the raffish eyeliner.
How's the release of the new album going?
Who leaked it?
The song "Runs In The Family" on your new album seems to
touch upon a consistent theme throughout your work: an aversion to medicine
that changes your personality. Or am I totally crazy?
The stuff that inspired "Half Jack" and that song was that during my parents' divorce I was still in the crib, so I was never really close with my dad growing up. And I started noticing in my early 20s that I had some of his mannerisms… and I barely knew the guy. And it really freaked me out because it left me with this sense of helplessness, as if there really is some coding in there that I can't break. It's a really interesting nature/nurture struggle we enter into to define ourselves.
It's kind of like that Bob Dylan song [in which] he's singing
about how he's not his father, but in the end he was.
Does that mentality come into play in your solo work? Are you trying
to redefine or reinvent yourself?
What the history of the record is is that I had this collection of ballads that never were going to end up on a Dresden Dolls record because they had no drums. Plus, the band needed to take a break. We said, "Okay, we've put out a second record, I'm going to go off and record this little solo record and put it out for the fans and then lets reassess and see where we're at," and right around that time, Ben Folds approached me and offered to produce it. Then one thing led to another and what was going to be just a simple $10,000 budget turned into a giant, year-long, epic cluster-fuck [laughter]. But a cluster-fuck of beauty! I'm really, really proud of the record. I think it's perfect.
I hear you have a future theater project. What's going on with
What kind of play is it going to be?
Are you worried that the parents are going to be a little on edge?
You've been viewed as a really strong front woman for several
years now. How do you react to that, and more importantly, how do you
feel about that in relation to your female contemporaries?
I've been reading your blog now on a regular basis and you disclose
everything. You certainly don't seem insecure.

Home defense plan-simply letting you protect yourself everywhere
Self-defense plan for females has become incorporating more quality for this topic. In phrases that are basic, self-defense really stays a complicated subject that's really produced much more sophisticated because of incorrect information available.

Luckily, through helpful self protection courses, the versatility to amass an effective basis in lady is self defense could be recognized.
One of a fruitful self-defense class' many aspects will be the worrying of consciousness on a breeding ground.

Nevertheless, it's likewise correct that there'll come a period when it may be very important to strike an opponent back.

Miguel Littin to Attend 3rd AIPFF
TEHRAN (AIPFF) - According to the public relations office of the 3rd AIPFF, prolific director Miguel Littin from chile will be present in International Ammar Popular Film Festival which will be held on 24-26 August, 2016.
TEHRAN (AIPFF) – According to the public relations office of the 3rd AIPFF, prolific director Miguel Littin from chile will be present in International Ammar Popular Film Festival which will be held on 24-26 August, 2016.
Littin is known internationally as one of the foremost Latin American filmmakers. He has made 17 feature films and feature-length documentaries. Five of Littin's films have been featured at the Cannes film festival. His most recent film was Allende in His Labyrinth2014 (Allende en su Laberinto) about the last 7 hours of former President of Chile Salvador Allende during the brutal military coup d'etat on Sept. 11, 1973, the day democracy in Chile ended.
Littin was appointed to the post of director of Chile-Films under the democratic socialist government of Salvador Allende. Littin was exiled from Chile after the brutal coup of 11 September 1973, and during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet he was compelled to live in Mexico and Spain. Littin risked his life to return to Chile in the early 1980s, altering his appearance and travelling with false documents so as to make an underground film documenting conditions there – this film was released in 1986 as Chile's General Act (Acta General de Chile).
This part of Littin's life was also memorialized in Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel "Clandestine in Chile» (La Aventura de Miguel Littin, Clandestino a Chile). The film garnered several major international awards, including four prizes at the Venice film festival, and galvanized greater international pressure on the Pinochet regime.
Littin has been honored with awards at major international film festivals, and his work has been nominated for Best Foreign Feature in the American Academy Awards.
The 3rd edition of Ammar International Popular Film Festival is being held from August 24th to August 26th, 2016 in Iran. The theme of the first section of the third AIPFF is reviewing coup d'etat movie around the world and also highlighting the role of the global arrogant powers in orchestrating coups in other countries.

PITTSBURGH � On a seasonable afternoon at Heinz Field in which the Steelers� already-slim playoff hopes could have deflated like a rubber duck in the Allegheny, something remarkable happened.
Whether it was playing against their bitter arch-rivals or the specter of meaningless games before the calendar reached Halloween, the Steelers turned in their most inspired � if not complete -- performance of this star-crossed season.
The Steelers� 19-16 win over Baltimore on Sunday wasn�t perfect. Far, far from it. Chronically they leave points on the board, settling for field goals over touchdowns. For the fifth time in six games, the once-vaunted defense failed to force a turnover. Their $100-million franchise quarterback continues to get sacked at an abnormally high rate. But, hey, when you�ve already allowed 18, surrendering another three sacks is almost a moral victory.
Yet given the circumstances, the Steelers surely will take it.
It does not mean that they are �back� � not yet anyway -- or that the Bengals have much to be worried about atop the AFC North.
If last week�s win over the Jets was a �springboard,� Sunday�s victory was, as veteran cornerback Ike Taylor put it, �a stepping stone.� Just one more step to remain �relevant,� according to coach Mike Tomlin. It was, perhaps, the closest thing resembling �Steelers football� � or at least what �Steelers football� used to be --- we�ve witnessed this season. Rookie running back Le�Veon Bell didn�t rush for 100 yards -- the Steelers still haven�t had one of those since last November � but he was tantalizingly close. With 93 yards, he has emerged as the legitimate feature back.
Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders aren�t Swann and Stallworth, but they�re evolving into one of the better receiving tandems in the league.
Dick LeBeau�s defense isn�t aging quite as gracefully as the defensive coordinator himself, but it�s still an effective unit that can rise to occasions such as Sunday�s rivalry game. In the last nine quarters, they have now surrendered just one touchdown.
�There�s not much room for error for us,� said defensive end Brett Keisel. �We�ve got to continue to focus, week in and week out, prepare the way we have been the last couple of week. We do that, we can play. We can play with anyone.�
The Steelers have now stacked wins together as they say, but what they do with their latest victory next week in Oakland and, more importantly, the following week in New England will reveal this team�s mettle.
�I really don�t care if they notice or not, it�s not about what outsiders think,� said Sanders. �It�s about what happens inside this locker room and that�s all we can control.�
More than the win, the Steelers now have belief. Considering where they were just two weeks ago, that is remarkable.

Days 8-11 of 21 Day Cleanse
Greetings from Day 11—I'm back after a few days' break from writing. Now firmly in the routine of the cleanse, I needed a few days to process before writing again. The week was off to a high note, but as mid-week set in, I struggled with fatigue and some setbacks. The good news is that the deep ache phase has passed (thank god), but my hand eczema has come back. It's one of the main reasons I wanted to cleanse, hoping that I'd identify food triggers.
Eczema can apparently be triggered as toxins release, so it's possible this is happening. And when candida die-off begins, it seems to happen a lot. I've never been tested for candida overgrowth, but I think I have a lot of the symptoms. If anyone has advice or experience here, please share. This is really getting me down right now and is quite discouraging given the hard work I'm putting in.
Friday posed new challenges, too, with seemingly all of Asheville either eating ice cream or drinking beer on a gorgeous sunny afternoon. It was hard to watch—but then I realized, no need to 'watch', just be! That said, I did cave to a spoon of ice cream (okay, two spoons!). I wish I hadn't, but I did. It didn't feel too good afterwards, so I learned my lesson. Stay away.
After I pushed back the initial mouth-watering, Pavlovian response to being at a brewery, it got easier. I didn't NEED anything to have a good time and enjoy a lovely evening outside with my family. Beer wasn't the essential ingredient to me having a good time, but hanging out and being present was (which is so easy to forget). I hope that these dynamics will continue to shift and I can take them with me post-cleanse; for instance, have a piece of chocolate when I want one, not four pieces, mindlessly! Mindful eating….so important.
Otherwise, I'm working to integrate some new routines into my life. I've been waking up nice and alert when my alarm goes off at 6:30, and a few mornings this week I took advantage of the still-quiet house and did a 30-minute yoga video. Afterwards, I've been oil pulling. I would love to integrate this permanently into my day.
I've also lost a few pounds and my clothes are definitely fitting better. I can see and feel a difference as we pass the halfway mark.
In a few days I'll have a special blog post featuring a mama who cooks really creative gluten-free vegan food for her family. She has a Facebook page called Everett's kitchen if you're curious. I'm excited to hear her favorite recipes and share them with you.
Love from Asheville,

Introverts are people, who love to be within themselves. They cannot be referred to as antisocial. They have social skills, they like people and they enjoy 'some' type of socialising. They prefer one an one conversation rather than a group discussion. Introverts may not be good verbally but they can become good listeners. They are intuitive and analytical. What is working? What isn't? Where do you get the most bangs for your buck? This shows they are self reflective and good learners. Extroverts are like lighthouses, focusing their beacon outward toward the world but Introverts are more like lanterns, radiating a glow inside themselves. Introverts have a lot of thoughts and ideas, they are creative. They may have problem showing them, and that is the reason why they need to learn on sharing their thoughts to the world.
In conclusion, it's okay to be an introvert! We should make use of our strength, like being creative, analytical and thoughtful. Only one thing that we need to do is, believe in ourselves and learn to share our insights to the world! We never know what turns out to be a big help to others.

As an avid gardener, I'm always discovering something new – which vegetable plants like which flower companions, which strawberry grows best in my garden, which tool works best for which job - and what makes a great gift for a gardener.
Back in Connecticut, I had a 40' x 100' garden. We reclaimed it from a cow pasture, so it started out fairly fertile (though plagued by quitch grass). Over the years, I tried just about every sort of vegetable, lots of berries, and flowers too. It was a way of life I loved, and we sure ate well!
Now I have a tiny yard, a very tiny garden, and some new ideas about the well chosen gift for a gardener – the gardener with limited space.
Your recipient's level of interest, available space, and preferred garden type (flowers, veggies, fruits, landscape, or a combination) will be factors in your gift selection. Many gardening gifts can be used all year long (see ideas below), and other suggestions are arranged by season - just pick and click!
Specialty gardening books – most gardeners enjoy trying out new ideas. Books introducing techniques and garden types that recipients haven't tried are thoughtful gifts for gardeners.
Here are some suggestions:organic gardeningintensive gardeningcompanion gardeningraised bedsshade gardensbutterfly gardenscontainer gardenscompostingwater gardensrelated topics: walls & fences, topiary/espaliers, fountains.
Container Gardening is the option for folks who don't have yard space for a garden. You can spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on outdoor planters, but moderately priced planters and and containers for flowers and vegetables can be found. There are good containers for porches, decks, balconies or patios, and many are suitable to bring indoors for the winter. Be sure to choose a planter with proper drainage!
Compost is the rich, earthy material created by the decomposition of plant life: yard/garden waste and kitchen scraps. It can be made in a compost pile or a Composting Bin. Compost is the best fertilizer for garden soil, and it's just as nourishing for house plants. Your gardener will be glad to have a supply for enriching potting soil in any season. A tumbling compost bin is convenient and easy to use, especially for gardeners who don't have yard space for a large compost pile. Smaller versions are also available.
The nice thing about having a gardener in your life is the wonderful variety of gifts for gardeners. Again, I encourage you to consider the type of gardening your recipient enjoys, and the level of his/her interest…

Manchester United battled to a hard-earned victory over FC Seoul but for the home crowd at this pre-season friendly there was only one story worthy of their attention.
That United came from behind to beat the hosts thanks to goals from Wayne Rooney, Federico Macheda and Dimitar Berbatov was a fact almost irrelevant to a capacity crowd, who wanted only to see Park Ji-sung playing in Korea in a United shirt for the first time.
Time and again when Park's face was flashed on big screens at both ends of the stadium, the home supporters made it perfectly clear what they wanted to see. They even booed when Park's face disappeared to be replaced by the match taking place in front of them.
Park is the embodiment of South Korea's passion for the beautiful game, and after a knee injury robbed him of the chance to play on tour two years ago, this time, despite his delayed start to pre-season, he did not let them down, entering the fray after 73 minutes as a substitute.
Some players on this tour have more to gain that others.
Rooney for instance is an automatic choice in any strong United line-up, so his first-half equaliser was merely confirmation of his well-being.
Macheda on the other hand, has some proving to do.
At 17, nobody is expecting the Italian to be the finished article.
However, Ferguson will be placing an immense amount of trust in the young Italian if, as has been pledged, he hands him the fourth striker's berth this season.
In these warm-up games, Macheda has done his cause no harm at all, particularly in the latest and undoubtedly most competitive of the four matches United will complete in the Far East.
After delivering a decent left-wing cross that Ryan Giggs completely missed and failing to control an astute pass from the Welshman that would have set him up for the type of spectacular curling effort that he announced his arrival with against Aston Villa last season, Macheda found the net just after half-time.
Strike partner Rooney supplied the killer cross field pass, which sent the teenager scampering clear of a static Seoul defence. The cool way he took his chance justified Ferguson's belief that Macheda is the best finisher at United, better even than Michael Owen.
The goal brought the Red Devils level, just as Rooney had done earlier when he headed home John O'Shea's cross after Dejan Damjanovic had opened the scoring.
Macheda's goal allowed him to draw level with Rooney and Owen as tour top scorer on two. Rather embarrassingly, Berbatov did not have any to his name before he popped up with the winner.
A patchy debut season from United's £30.75million record signing has left a lot of supporters unconvinced. The fact his arrival coincided with Carlos Tevez's disenchantment and subsequent departure for Manchester City only makes the situation worse.
Yet Berbatov does have talent, although getting the best of him has taken Ferguson longer than he would have liked.
Nevertheless, his neat headed finish from Darron Gibson's cross was very welcome on a personal level, in addition to giving United a deserved victory.
Sir Alex Ferguson is deriving most pleasure from the impact of his strikers in pre-season campaign.
Wayne Rooney and Federico Macheda were both on target for the second time in pre-season, with Dimitar Berbatov breaking his duck by nodding home the winner midway through the second half.
For Macheda in particular, an impressive Far East tour is a major bonus, as it will give his manager faith that, in the 17-year-old, he has someone capable of being fourth striker to Rooney, Berbatov and Michael Owen.
''Federico's goal was excellent,'' enthused Ferguson. ''His movement was very good and he always seems to do well when he gets on the shoulder of defenders.
''It is really pleasing to see your strikers scoring. Obviously the main ones are going to be Owen, Rooney and Berbatov and I am very comfortable with that.
''But if Federico continues to progress, it will be a big advantage to us because it would give us an extra player from the word go.''

Everyone has suffered from a bruise at one time or another. It's an easy injury to get, and usually, it's one that won't lead to lasting complications. Interestingly enough, some bruising is serious enough to require treatment. If you have significant bruising, it's something you should have a doctor examine.
Recalled smoke detectors could leave families at a loss
Consumers purchase and install smoke detectors to protect their loved ones, homes and possessions from the devastation of a house fire. Most people take great care to hang the devices in the proper place. You may even have a reminder on your phone to check the batteries once a month. You press the button to elicit a chirp, ensuring the device will work when you need it.
Highway deaths: the most common factors
A whole host of factors can contribute to accidents on the highway, especially fatal ones, so drivers in Illinois and across the U.S. should know what they are. That way, they can exercise greater caution while understanding that some situations cannot be avoided. For example, some geographic features make it impossible for roads to be built without a few hiccups in the design, such as blind intersections, tight curves, and narrow shoulders.
Study determines top causes of truck accidents
Each year, millions of commercial trucks travel throughout Illinois and the rest of the U.S. Unfortunately, many of those trucks become involved in serious truck accidents. Federal statistics show that truck crashes have been on the rise for years. Over the last decade, truck accidents have increased by 20 percent.
Why drowsy driving is common among truckers
Drivers in Illinois are probably aware that drowsy driving leads to accidents but may not be aware that the number is at least 100,000 annually in this country. When drivers fall asleep at the wheel, they can injure themselves by going off the road and injuring other drivers and pedestrians by swerving into the other lane. When the vehicle is a commercial truck, the injuries that result can be catastrophic and even fatal.
How soft tissue damage occurs
Soft tissues are the muscles, tendons, ligaments and other non-bony parts of the body. These tissues are often damaged during car accidents when the impact and sudden braking causes harsh movements. Since soft tissue injuries are difficult for physicians to detect, victims of car accidents in Illinois should pay attention to possible symptoms.
Drowsy drivers: The risks and how to mitigate them
Drowsy driving is a national problem. People who get behind the wheel without enough sleep put themselves and others at risk of an accident. Statistics show that drowsy driving is a common cause of crashes, taking 846 lives in 2014 and even more since that date.
Report gives governors a 'road map' for enhancing road safety
Road safety conditions in Illinois, as in the rest of the U.S., can be lacking. After years of decline, traffic fatality rates have recently been on the rise again. There was a 5.6 percent increase in traffic fatalities in 2016. That year, 39 states saw a rise in traffic deaths.

When I lived in the city, I rarely thought about animals. I'd occasionally see a dog or a cat, and of course sometimes birds would fly around, but that was about it. As a marker of just how different it is where I live now, I thought I would list all the animals I saw yesterday on my way to and from work, about 60 miles round trip.
- Dogs - Obviously, we have five of them.
- Horses - Our own three and numerous others on the way that belong to neighbors
- Donkeys (standard and miniature) - Again, both our own and others'.
- Cows - Including a very proud and swingin' bull.
- Llamas - When you first see a llama in a herd of cattle or goats, you think somehow an afghan blanket has gotten blown into the field.
- Goats - A family of ten or so goats is standing in the middle of the road every evening when I come home, including babies that are about the size of a double handful.
- Deer - Sometimes dead on the side of the road, sadly, but often a family bounds across the street as I approach.
- Vultures - They were dining on the remains of the deer. Sad, but necessary.
- Rabbits - A little baby cottontail dashed across the driveway on my way out of the house. He needs to be careful, the dogs love to hunt rabbits.
- Buffalo - One of our neighbors has invested in a buffalo mother and calf and has it grazing their property at the end of the neighborhood.
- Bats - One of the largest bat colonies in the southwest lives under the Round Rock Interstate 35 overpass. At this time of year you see them streaming out from their nests like billowing clouds of smoke on your way north on the highway.
- Hawk (or is it a falcon?) - I don't know for sure which species it is, but a predatory bird flew right past my windshield as I was on the access road for the highway. Pretty amazing.
- African antelopes - There's an exotic game ranch on my way to work and these tiny little antelopes are always munching away behind their giant fence.
- Emus - There are two male emus, each on one side of Highway 29. They pace each other in parallel up and down the fenceline every day, intent on making sure the other one knows just how tough they are. I am sure there's a metaphor for how human males strut in the same way, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. Insert your own snark here.
I wonder now, if there just weren't as many animals around when I was in the city, or if I just didn't notice. Either way, I'm grateful to have my eyes open now -- they're pretty cool.

Access to Work – What you need to know!
Access to Work is a government-run programme delivered by Jobcentre Plus to help overcome barriers that disabled people come across in getting or retaining work. The programme provides advice, a possible assessment of a persons disability needs in the workplace and if required, a financial grant towards the cost of any necessary support. It is provided where the employee requires support or adaptations beyond those "reasonable adjustments" which an employer is legally obliged to provide under the Equality Act 2010.
Access to Work can provide a grant towards the additional employment costs resulting from an employee's disability that an employer would not normally be expected to provide.
To be eligible for Access to Work the applicant must be either:

Depending on a persons circumstances, Jobcentre Plus may provide support under more than one of these elements.
