China's tin industry is turning into Myanmar to help plug a gap in the supply of raw materials in search of new trade rules in the world's largest exporter of Indonesia squeeze their main source of refined tin.
China, the largest consumer of metals in the world, has more than doubled its imports of tin ores and concentrates Myanmar this year, at the base of an alternative source of metal mainly used for welding in its wide electronics industry.
Pulling in more hours Myanmar – continues to be a relatively small player – will add to the efforts of China to the source of Bolivia, Japan, Malaysia and LME stocks of tin, and could crimp sales in Indonesia in the long run, industry experts said .

"Myanmar will not solve China's problems – Indonesia is the dominant exporter in the world," said Stephen Briggs of BNP Paribas in London. "However, China is clearly trying to diversify its sources, whether it is tin or anything else. It certainly is not a big problem for Indonesia."
China has relied on Indonesia for most of its imports of tin, with more than 15,000 tons last year, but sales have fallen since the Southeast Asian nation ruled that farmers could only sell bullion highest purity , a move aimed at increasing the value of its exports.
The Indonesian market has further tarnished the government's attempts to ensure all its tin is sold through a local exchange, a measure that has yet to gain traction with customers, and its biggest exporter stopped shipments.
China's imports from Indonesia fell 72 percent in July from a year earlier to just 484 tons of refined tin.
In contrast, the tin ore shipped from the Myanmar border for processing into Yunnan Province key tin production in China, more than tripled to 8,392 tons in July, China sign trade data. Imports in the first seven months of the year are more than the total for all of 2012.

Myanmar figures are for the tin ore and concentrate and do not specify the content of the pond, you can calculate the amount of tin is produced by an increase in exports.
Traders put the total production of Myanmar to "thousands of low single digit" tonnes compared to 100,000 tonnes in the case of Indonesia.
China also produces around 100,000 tons of tin a year, but is facing a deficit of 50,000-60,000 tons, which met through recycling and through imports of ore and refined tin, said Peter Kettle industrial group Global ITRI.
Chinese buying could help speed the development of Myanmar fragmented industry such as political changes lead to more investment.

"We could see emerging in the long run Myanmar since quite a large producer of tin," Caldera said.
"There is some interest in the long-term changes in the political system and the promotion of international investment," he said.
Traders are also eyeing the country, but they say that China is likely to be the dominant buyer in the near future.
"Let's do some 'of effort to get there but it is not easy", said a source in an international trading house.
"There are a lot of us craft extraction. You must be prepared to enter the country and people pay in cash and organize the logistics of yourself, and I'm sure the Chinese are able to do so," he said.

Boom! Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly called Trump a 'f**ckin moron' and nearly resigned at the end of July following Trump's politicized speech to the Boy Scouts of America, an organization Tillerson previously chaired.
MSNBC is reporting that Vice President Mike Pence intervened to cool the tensions between Tillerson and Trump, and that General Mike Kelly and James Mattis also talked Tillerson out of resigning.
Trump's disasterous Administration is literally crumbling before our eyes. Consider this, the President is a 'f**ckin moron'! That's the real issue here, we have an unhinged, delusional, and paranoid reality star with the nuclear codes!
Just now, @SRuhle: "My source didn't just say he called him a moron. He said he called him an f-ing moron."

It also makes one wonder if everyone else in the Administration agrees with Tillerson but are simply too afraid to speak out.

PAL can help Apprenticeship Training Providers to effectively prepare for OFSTED inspections.
OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) carries out periodic assessments of training providers. The OFSTED inspection reviews programme delivery and the inspection includes observations of teaching, learning and assessment.
The benefits of independent observation
The benefits of independent observation
The Independent observation of teaching, learning and assessment is the key to delivering strong apprenticeship training, which impacts on individual and organisational apprentice performance.
Independent observation of practice, from external organisations (such as PAL), strengthens company reputation and assists with preparing for external inspections, such as those from OFSTED and awarding organisations
What will PAL offer?
Consultancy and Training
PAL will provide one of their experienced practitioners to observe teaching, learning and assessment delivery
PAL will provide detailed observation feedback reports with concise constructive criticism. This focuses on good practices identified, while indicating areas for development. PAL will recommend options for further professional development.
Workplace learning
PAL can also assist organisations in their compilation of quality improvement plans and self-assessment reports, building on our experience of preparing for such inspections and using our network of consultants, which includes former HMIs and OFSTED nominees
Observation of practice means:
- Understanding your individual trainer's strengths and weaknesses regarding teaching, learning and assessment.
- Being able to support trainers to improve, thus maintaining a quality provision. This should lead to higher learner satisfaction and achievement rates, and maintain a strong reputation for being a quality Apprenticeship Provider.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of your training and helping to continuously develop and improve your apprenticeship offer.

"All things are changing, and we are changing with them"
Launching our law library's blog this past spring semester was a brand new experience for me.
Guided by our fearless leader, Assistant Director Catherine Lemmer, we wrote our own guidelines and blog criteria for a scope that would focus on you–our amazing law students–as well as the greater law school, IUPUI, and Indianapolis community.
Hannah Alcasid, our Electronic Information & Data Support Technician, got our site up-and-running, and continues to teach us new tricks of the trade to reach our vision of being able to better communicate and share information.
Vanessa Anderson, currently my colleague as a Circulation Senior Assistant (but stay tuned!), helped categorize that information in a way that will be accessible for many readings to come.
John Davis, another of my colleagues currently serving as a Circulation Senior Assistant (again, stay tuned!: many good changes are continuing to take place at your law library), took an internal project to the blog, and invited you in to experiencing the richness of our legal history here in the U.S.
Interim Director Miriam Murphy has contributed meaningful insight on what leadership looks like and how to effectively collaborate in a professional setting.
Our fantastic reference & research librarians–also your instructors here at the law school!–have been preparing a fun collection of posts ranging from legal research guide expansions to new ways of viewing, reading, and experiencing law.
It's been a joy and a privilege to provide this blog as a format for sharing and keeping each other in the loop with what's happening here at the law library.
Among the changes occurring at the Ruth Lilly Law Library is that I will be vacating my position after Monday, June 15th and heading out West to Colorado. As I write this, it doesn't seem possible that I've only served here at IU McKinney for 10 months. I joined the Circulation team back in August 2014, and with everyone's warm welcome it feels as though I've been here much longer. There have been countless opportunities and invitations to learn and grow, and it's been an honor to meet and get to know everyone a bit better. There is a strong community here at IU McKinney, and I'm delighted with how much I've been challenged and inspired by the people I've met here. Thank you for not just bettering me, but for making the world a better place as well.
Although we are very sad to see you go, we can't wait to hear back about all your adventures in graduate school! Travel safe.

Wireless / Bluetooth speakers
Anyone use these ever?
Just tried some out in Currys and they all seemed shite even the £200+ efforts from Bose and Sonos had a tin-like quality to them.
They seem to get good reviews though.
I'm no audiophile by any means, I just want to control
Music playback without having to get out of bed.
Buy a normal pair of speakers with a remote control
If that's your criterion.
if i wanted some speakers in the kitchen that i could plug my phone into to play music whats the cheapest way of doing this - just have a leda form the headphones into an in in some speakers or something?
Get a bluetooth receiver that you connect to your speakers.
Can get one for about £10-15.
A 3.5mm cable would do the job cheaper mind.
depends on the speakers
may need an amp
oh i have ballsed this up
i don't have any speakers - i guess i need like an iphone dock, i was just wondering if there was a cheaper way to do it, like if i didn't using the docking technology, and just went from the headphone output on the phone? does that make sense?
actually forget it
just found this
well cheap! bd
yes i t does
will do the job tho
I got one of these for my birthday:
It's fantastic. Get it from Richer Sounds.
That looks sweet
You may just have sourced my gf's birthday present there. Or the minx air 100.
The only THING about it is
you have to, well, leave the bed / couch / whatevs to turn it on. There's no remote control thing. But obvs once it's on and connected via Bluetooth, you're good to go. Sound quality is brill and it looks alright. Plus the 5 star What Hifi thing swung it for me.
Yeah, that'll be the case for any system though I'm guessing?
I'll pop down the richer sounds for a demo this week.
Bday next week.
Well some of them (more expensive models) have fancy remotes and whatnot.
But as far as I found this is the best sounding one you'll get for under a hundred quid. Richer Sounds have massive POS displays at the moment and when my boyfriend went to get mine they properly showed it off to him. Love Richer Sounds <3
Also it has EIGHTEEN HOURS of battery life.
Which is mental really for the size of it.

Sanjhi Art
It exists in many forms under many names in countries across the globe : The Art Of Paper cutting. We begin in the homeland India.
Hailing from the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh the unique craft of paper cutting is called Sanjhi.
Traditionally it was used as a stencil to create the reputed festive floor paintings rangoli. It is also believed to have ritualistic importance in the Krishna temples of Mathura.
However the dexterity was so severe it soon emerged as a craft, with artists specializing the skill. The cutting process requires enormous skill, concentration and patience.
The fine detail is achieved with specially designed scissors. With the effort of many designers and organizations the craft has been given renewed consequences. With the innovative directions the craft has been intelligently crafted by many into utilities like lighting fixtures, candle holders, lamp shades, screens etc.

Great White Shark music
Dienstag, 28. Juni 2011
As well as having the privalage of going to one the best festivals in the world this year, we also had the privalage of playing it. On thursday Great White Shark took to the Tripod stage at Glastobury, located between the dragon field and the sacred circle, to perform their latest hits of atmos pop with honorary member Johnny "the tambo man" Chantarasak. We discovered Johnnys talents on wednesday morning outside the ice cream van. He was flying higher than the main stage flags and was playing tamborine like no mans played it before...so we snapped him up, there and then. Heres a pic from the gig:
thanks to the people who made the effort to come all the way over to watch a man in a dress and a hippie on tambo, we appreciate it. Untill next time!...when the stage will be bigger and the dress will be longer.
peace .x.

OLED Update timing problem
<< < (3/3)
I am still unsure how you are getting characters to show up when the display is powered on.
All of our OLED displays do not show any information until they have been given data to show.
Would it be possible to show me a picture of what characters you are seeing, also a video describing the problem.
I believe the DDRAM of the OLED display is being updated when the power is not appled.
One simple solution is to use the display OFF command after the display boots up from a reset / power off. After this i would recommend doing a clear display before using the display ON command.

How Design Software Will Shape Manufacturing's Future• Tom Simonite via TechnologyReview.com
Autodesk, a multinational software company based in San Rafael, California, makes 3-D design software used by everyone from automotive manufacturing giants to Hollywood studios. Now it is betting that those digital tools will have an increasingly powerful role in what happens on factory floors, enabling manufacturers to embrace more flexible strategies that deliver more customized products.
Buzz Kross, who heads the company's manufacturing industry group, says the manufacturers he works with see an opportunity in new technology at a time when they sense that the boom in outsourcing to China has run its course. "There have always been companies that differentiate based on their ability to manufacture most efficiently, and others based on design and invention—it's the difference between GM and Tesla," says Kross. "Now a lot of manufacturers are leaning more to the design model."
Kross says that rising costs in China's maturing economy and high-profile problems with out-sourced components, like those that plagued Boeing's 787, are making the model of high-volume, low-cost outsourced production less economically attractive. The result is that a wider range of companies are considering adopting a more flexible, premium approach to manufacturing that has previously been limited to a relatively small niche. Kross is trying to help that trend along with software such as Inventor, which provides a way to digitally prototype and test mechanical designs, and Streamline, which enables engineers, designers, and managers to collaborate on a design. Both are intended to speed the journey from digital drawing board to factory floor.

The turning of the decade -- from the over-achieving, money-hungry '80s to a supposedly kinder, gentler '90s -- has not brought an end to the scourge of workaholism.
Instead, more support groups are springing up for "work addicts" and more books are being published about the dangers of
working too hard.
The average work week for a full-time American worker increased from 42.5 hours in 1980 to 43.5 hours in 1990, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For workaholics the numbers are far higher: 50, 60, even 70 hours a week are not uncommon.
And there's no sign it's letting up, says Diane Fassel, a Boulder, Colo., management consultant and author of "Working Ourselves Death: The High Cost of Workaholism and the Rewards of Recovery" (Harper). She says the cost of compulsive overwork can include divorce, family breakup, stress-related illnesses and eventually death.

Hopelessness is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Physical inactivity is additionally responsible for increased cardiovascular events and death. Most individuals with CHD do not meet current exercise guidelines, and hopeless individuals are at particularly high risk for inactivity. Yet, little research exists describing hopelessness and its relationship to exercise in CHD patients and no research exists specific to racial minority patients. The purpose of this project is: 1) to describe hopelessness in racial minority CHD patients and 2) to evaluate in these patients the feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and preliminary efficacy of two 6-week motivational text-messaging (MTM) interventions, one with and one without social support (SS), both designed to decrease hopelessness through the promotion of physical activity (PA). This project is innovative in that no intervention has been tested to encourage hopeless CHD patients to exercise and no research has been done examining hopelessness and exercise in racial minority CHD patients. Specific aims include to:
1) Describe hopelessness in racial minority patients. 2) Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MTM, with and without SS. 3) Examine patient satisfaction with MTM, with and without SS. 4) Evaluate preliminary efficacy of MTM, with and without SS, in improving PA. 5) Determine preliminary efficacy, with and without SS, in decreasing hopelessness.
Significance: MTM, with or without a SS component, has not been tested in hopeless CHD patients and the relationship between hopelessness and exercise in racial minority CHD patients has not been examined. Based on prior work, we expect hopelessness to be more prevalent in racial minority patients and for racial minority hopeless patients to have unique motivational needs.
Methods: Sixty racial minority adults diagnosed with myocardial infarction, angina, or angioplasty/stent will participate in the cross-sectional descriptive study while hospitalized at Sparrow Hospital. Patients with moderate to severe hopelessness, who have a cell phone, and an interest in text messaging will additionally be invited to participate in an ongoing randomized intervention study, using a block design to ensure that 1/5 of total patients enrolled (n=30) will be of racial minority status (n=6). Patients will be randomized to: 1) MTM, 2) MTM with SS, or 3) standard care. Data collection for the intervention study will occur 1 and 8 weeks after hospital discharge in the patient's home. Patients in each MTM group will meet with a motivational interviewer and receive MTMs. The MTM with SS group will receive supportive text messages from their significant other. Descriptive variables include hopelessness, depression, demographic and clinical characteristics and comorbidities. Additional variables in the intervention pilot include feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, exercise self-regulation, exercise steps and minutes (accelerometer), and social support.
Future Funding: This project builds on a program of research that has identified hopelessness in CHD patients, developed and tested a state-trait hopelessness scale, and identified a negative relationship between exercise and hopelessness in CHD patients. Findings will be foundational to an application for external funding (R01) to be submitted to NIH/NINR by February 2017.


text: Good Evening Everyone, Got a little problem with my desire. I've had it for a couple of months now and have been really impressed with it so far and its nice to have something different rather than being another Iphone sheep! Problem that I have got, and i'm not sure if it is following the froyo update is that when i receive an incoming call, the person on the other end can't hear me but i can hear them clearly, but if they call back it will work! If i make an outgoing call no probs at all. Also if i'm using the supplied headset, hands free calls dont work at all and it takes a good few seconds to change the track in the music player or press play/pause it take a few moments to respond. Just wondered if anyone else had the same problem if not i'll take it back to the CFW. Cheers G

Proper 20-B~RCL
Wayne Sherrer
Mark 9:30-37
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen
Many have said that Jesus was a great teacher. If we were to look only at the performance of his students, we could easily question that. Instead of friends and apprentices of Jesus, the disciples seem more like apprentices of Donald Trump. Jesus reveals to them that he will be killed and their response is to play king of the mountain.
Who's going to take Jesus' place? Who will be the new leader--the new number one? I will. No you won't. I will. For several hours they carried on about it--all the way to
The lesson was one that the disciples and later the church had difficulty in grasping, because it asked them to look at ambition and status in a totally different way. "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." To illustrate his point Jesus brought a little child into their midst. He said that by welcoming such a child, a disciple would also be welcoming Jesus and his heavenly father.
The contrast between the child and God could hardly be greater. Children in Jesus' day had no status or power and were little better than slaves or other property. Welcoming children and others who are equally powerless—the poor, the stranger, the handicapped—in the same way we would welcome God is a mindboggling idea.
Has anyone here ever been visited in their home by Queen Elizabeth? Don't be bashful. Raise your hands so we can see them. What? None of you? Well then, how about her son Prince Charles? Still nobody? I'm not surprised. We aren't accustomed to royalty here in
Throughout history in most of the world it has been considered a great honor and privilege to welcome a reigning monarch into one's home.
The home would be the focus of elaborate preparation--cleaning, decoration and the use of one's finest dinnerware and the serving of the best food one could offer. If the king or queen could not personally appear, their personal representative would be welcomed with the "royal treatment".
Today Jesus is telling the disciples and us that the people on society's bottom rung are personal representatives of him and of God the creator. If we believe Jesus, then our welcome of the poor and powerless is not an act of charity on our part. By welcoming his representatives, we acknowledge God as our lord, and he in turn honors us with his presence. If, like the disciples, we are ambitious to be number one in the
But our attitude is as important as the service that we render. We do not act out of pity for them. "O look how little they have. What can I do to help?" Rather we need to approach each of them with the respect and dignity due God's representative and to remember their very presence is a gift from God to us.
How might this gospel affect our ministry here at Trinity? I think that the people of Trinity have been extremely generous in their gifts of money to the appeals for charity. The responses to the various missions of the month and to special appeals like Katrina relief and Kajo-Keji have been spectacular. I think that today's gospel might renew our sense of welcome. Let me give a few examples.
First, has anyone noticed the fading of our coffee hours after Sunday services? When I looked over the signup sheets last Sunday, I saw they were virtually blank. I don't know why that is. I do know that visitors—strangers to our community—are frequently present. Fr. Andy extends them an invitation almost every Sunday to come over to Conine Hall for fellowship and refreshment so we might get acquainted.
When no refreshments are seen, parishioners walk through Conine Hall without stopping and there is no fellowship possible for the stranger who wanders in. Imagine for a moment how we might host coffee hour differently if we expected to entertain a royal visitor that week. Imagine if we expected Jesus to attend our worship and we wanted him to linger awhile so we could get to know one another a little better. I am not saying that lace tablecloths, bone china and professional catering are the standard we should seek. I am suggesting we understand coffee hour as a ministry of welcome to God's representative. She could go anywhere, but she is coming here and we are honored by her presence. Hosting coffee hour is then not a burden, but a privilege.
A second existing ministry is our Ark Soup Kitchen. This afternoon begins a project of replacing the carpeted floor in Conine Hall with a new tile one. I think this could be a first step in the transformation of that space into one that is both inviting and "fit for a queen". And I am not proposing that we gild the chandeliers. I think we have people far more creative than I who can design that kind of transformation and accomplish it inexpensively. Beyond the transformation of the physical space is the transformation of our worldview. How many of us look at the soup kitchen guests as members of God's Board of Trustees for the world? How many of us welcome them as movers and shakers of society? Can we see the
A third ministry here that could be affected by today's gospel is our welcome of children. They were explicitly named by Jesus as representatives of the Father and of himself. Yet, a close look at our ministries to children and youth reveals that our church school staff has shrunken from eleven to five, that we have no nursery, no
Once upon a time each of us was a child, each of us was a stranger, each of us was welcomed by the community and ultimately received into this family we call Trinity Episcopal Church. We may not have received the "royal treatment", but that is what Jesus calls us to extend to those he sends to us. When we serve them, we serve Jesus. When we welcome them, we welcome the one who sent Jesus, the God and Father of all humanity. And He graciously honors us with his presence.
Wayne Sherrer is a licensed lay preacher at Trinity, Easton.

Proudly Made in America American Flags in Dix IL 62830
A nationwide sign that goes by the labels "The Stars and Stripes", "Old Glory", and "The Star-Spangled Banner", the American flag is one of the highly recognizable icons in the world today. The American Flag is the 3rd oldest of the National Standards of the world – older compared to the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France.
Who designed the American Flag?
Exactly what does the American Flag stand for?
Why is the American Flag vital to American culture?
Where can I find American Flags?
Who designed the American Flag?
According to prominent stories, the very first American flag was created by Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress who was an acquaintance of George Washington. In May 1776, so the story goes, General Washington and also 2 people from the Continental Congress went to Ross at her upholstery shop and also showed her a sketch layout of the flag. Although Washington at first favored utilizing a star with 6 points, Ross promoted for a five-pointed star, which could be cut with just one quick snip of the scissors, as well as the gentlemen were swayed. Unfortunately, historians have actually not had the ability to confirm this variation of events.
In those days, the flag was not the same as we recognize it today. The act stated, "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and also white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
Exactly what does the American Flag represent?
The flag first flew over thirteen states along the Atlantic coast, with a population of some three million people. Today it flies over fifty states, extending throughout the continent, as well as over multiple islands of the two oceans; and also millions owe it obligation.
The flag is composed of 13 alternating red and white straight stripes standing for the initial thirteen British colonies that declared self-reliance from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and ended up being the very first states in the United States. This blue location of the flag is called the Union.
The importance of the Flag, as stated by Washington: "We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have divided from her, as well as the white red stripes shall decrease to posterity representing Liberty."
It incarnates for all the human race the spirit of liberty and the remarkable principle of human freedom; not the freedom of unrestraint or the freedom of license, but an one-of-a-kind ideal of equal opportunity permanently, liberty and also the pursuit of happiness, safeguarded by the strict and soaring concepts of duty, of integrity and of justice, as well as possible by obedience to self-imposed laws.
Two times told tales of nationwide honor and also glory cluster heavily about it. It bears witness to the tremendous expansion of our national borders, the advancement of our natural resources, as well as the splendid framework of our civilization. It prophesises the accomplishment of preferred federal government, of civic and also religious liberty and also of national decency throughout the world.
Why is the American Flag vital to American community?
The American flag is crucial due to the fact that it signifies the independent federal government as described under the United States Constitution. Add to that, it likewise represents the background, beliefs and values of its residents. As a democratic nation, its people follow critical values such as freedom, justice and also equality. The flag likewise signifies the different achievements of the country as well as the satisfaction of its individuals.
This national symbol reminds individuals, not only in the state of Illinois, but throughout the whole USA about the various vital elements of the Declaration of Independence. It is not just a simple symbol, which represents the liberty and legal rights of Americans. Floating from the soaring pinnacle of American idealism, it is a sign of withstanding hope.
It is the indication made visible of the strong spirit that has actually brought freedom as well as success to individuals of America. It is the flag of all us alike. Let us accord it honor as well as commitment.
Where can I purchase American Flags?
You probably currently discovered this, but there are a lot of locations where you can get American flags. It is crucial to note that the flag you're about to buy should be "Made in USA. There are numerous vendors whose flags are identified as made in China, as well as flying a China-made American flag just doesn't make much sense now, does it?
Based upon data, Americans invest over 5.3 million dollars on imported flags annually – the majority of which are made in China. Perhaps a lot more disconcerting is that throughout 2001, in the wave of nationalism that washed over America after 9/11, Americans bought $52 million USD in imported flags. The flag must signify the blood, sweat, as well as tears of American people who brought this nation right into existence, not our debt to China and also the death of the American production sector.
The flag symbolizes nationwide self-reliance as well as prominent sovereignty. It is not the flag of a ruling family or imperial house, however of the millions free individuals bonded into a nation, one and also indivisible, united not just by community of passion, yet by vital unity of view and objective; a country identified for the clear specific perception of its citizens alike of their responsibilities and also their opportunities, their commitments as well as their rights.
Have a little pride, cough up a couple of more money, and acquire an American flag made by Americans in the United States

David Canter, the newly appointed head of the RIA segment at Fidelity Custody & Clearing Solutions, will be running next month's Boston Marathon with the financial planning industry top of mind.
Mr. Canter, 48, has named the CFP Board's Center for Financial Planning as his charity for the race, and he aims to raise $100,000 in donations by race day.
"The Center has been supportive in bringing young people into the profession," he said. "That's an issue we all have to care about if we want a sustainable and thriving financial planning profession."
The 26.2-mile race on April 17 will be Mr. Canter's fourth consecutive Boston Marathon, and his ninth marathon over the past 20 years.
With his sub-four-hour race times, it is possible that Mr. Canter could qualify for the Boston based on his running abilities, but so far he has only run the historic race on "charity bibs," which race organizers give to businesses and organizations as fund-raising vehicles.
Mr. Canter's entry this year came by way of John Hancock Financial Services, a 30-year sponsor of the 120-year-old race.
"John Hancock had a charity bib, and all they needed was a runner, so I figured, 'why not me?'" said Mr. Canter, who works closely with Todd Cassler, president of institutional distribution at John Hancock Investments, to help support the CFP Board's efforts to promote the financial planning industry.
"As a leader within the financial services community, we're pleased that the CFP Board Center is using this opportunity to raise awareness and funds in support of their mission," Mr. Cassler said.
Mr. Canter officially kicked off his fundraising efforts dubbed 'Run, David, Run' in mid-February and has already raised $35,000, much of which has come through donor-advised funds.
The donations are being collected through a crowdfunding website, which currently shows less than $8,000 collected, but Mr. Canter said that is due to a lag period in moving money from the donor-advised funds to the fund-raising site.
The Center for Financial Planning, of which Mr. Canter is a member of the advisory council and on the campaign development committee, was established in November 2015 through an initial donation from TD Ameritrade.
While the Center has received some seed funding from the CFP Board to finance the fundraising efforts, the Center is financially independent from the CFP Board, according to Marilyn Mohrman-Gillis, the Center's executive director.
The Center, which is focused on a several initiatives related to bringing more diversity to the financial planning industry, is about halfway through a three-year campaign to raise $10 million, $6.2 million of which has already been raised.
"The Center stands at a unique crossroads in the profession," Ms. Mohrman-Gillis said. "Through its relationships with firms, education partners, researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders, the Center is able to serve as a convener to tackle the challenges we face. With David's help, we will be able to continue to forge partnerships to support research and initiatives designed to advance the profession to benefit the public."

So, it appears I have been lacking on the updates. I've finally been busy doing more than sitting around the house. Feels good to finally get out and have some fun. The other night I went out to the Cheesecake Factory and played some guitar hero 'til 3 in the morning. Definitely fun but I am not very skilled at playing it! Yesterday went out to Buffalo Wild Wings. Then we went swinging at a park. I love to swing haha. Just some good ol' fun like when you are a kid. After that we went to the strip. Played at gameworks and then headed over to Bellagio. That seems to be the place of interest with ever group I go out with these days. That's okay though because I could watch the fountains for hours. Anyway here's a few more pics from last night.

Here's the pitch: After his family is destroyed by feral vampires (legitimately scary ones, more at the speed of 28 Days Later than, say, Twilight), a teenage boy named Martin (Connor Paolo) is rescued by a mysterious stranger known only as Mister (Nick Damici), and together they travel across a dangerous landscape while encountering hordes of rabid undead on their way to New Eden, a place they believe to be a sanctuary from the epidemic. Terror ensues!
If this scenario doesn't sound familiar to you, then you might be completely riveted by Stake Land, Jim Mickle's contribution to the supernatural apocalypse genre. Mickle has an eye for detail and at least some semblance of style, so his latest offering has a leg up on the tide of similar material that it's swimming against. But if you're like me and you've already seen and enjoyed other recent post-apocalyptic films like The Road, you might be left cold at the end of Stake Land when the question of what this particular variant is going to do differently is answered with a half-hearted shrug.
But the film does make a valiant effort at rendering well-mapped territory at least newly habitable. The usual evils—cannibals, cults, etc.—make their appearance throughout as detours for Martin and Mister. But for all its redundancy in the horror canon, the film trods these familiar roads with an almost naïve freshness, sort of like a child exploring the woods behind his backyard and believing that no one else has ever walked there before. And indeed, Stake Land is a child's story—or at least the story of a child taking his first tentative steps into adulthood. Martin's primary turning point from wide-eyed youth to full-fledged warrior of the apocalypse occurs when a young vampire girl reaches out to him in a gesture of recognition, heartbroken in the face of everything she has lost—her youth, her beauty, but also the chance to someday become something other than what she is now. Martin empathizes with her (sad eyes!), but then of course he kills her, following through on one of his first adult responsibilities: to survive by whatever means necessary.
The coming-of-age character arc is relatively transparent in Stake Land (especially when the mercy-killing-as-personal-growth symbolism recurs later on), and I wonder why so many young adult narratives need these traumatically jarring catalysts, such as vampire outbreaks or the end of the world, to represent the giving up of childish things. Surely not all of us had to kill an undead peer before going off to college; rather, we simply tried to do our proverbial thing, hopefully not making quite as many mistakes along the way as those who came before us. And at that, Stake Land succeeds with aplomb: The film is slick, scary, and occasionally poignant, deftly rising above the swarm of imitators. But by treading in the genre's old bathwater and not really showing much interest in swimming over to the less crowded area of the pool, it isn't likely to generate many imitators of its own.

We have officially entered the realm of the double digits. I guess that the biggest news for this post is that Nico can walk. Yes Nico can walk alright, but so far she only does it if we are holding something over her head that she wants. It is kind of funny to see such a little person tottering about, but it makes our hearts swell with paternal joy. She is very talkative, babbling all the time and she also likes to mimic the noises we make.
The primary part of Nico's diet right now is paper and book bindings. No, not really but she sure does shred up any paper, magazine, book, or anything made of tree pulp that she can get her hands on. She has entered into the stage where she picks up everything on the floor and pops it into her mouth. This new trick has brought to light my lousy vacuuming, sweeping, and general housekeeping skills. I never knew that there were so many fuzz balls and dust bunnies around, but Nico spots them and puts them in her mouth for safe keeping. Speaking of vacuuming, Nico has this strange fascination with vacuum. The vacuum is obviously a little scary to her, but I think she gets a little excited whenever I bring it out (excited I'm doing some cleaning no doubt). She crawls after the roaring beast as I vacuum, but then she will come over to my leg and climb up it and sort of bounce around and make little noises indicating that she is a little scared and would like me to pick her up. I don't know what it all means but it is pretty funny.
Whenever we are out people always comment on Nico's eyes, and they always mistake her for a boy. She is working on her upper teeth, the two front ones for sure and perhaps a third on the side. I will blame teething for the less than stellar sleep we are getting around here. I hope that things will return to normal once those teeth are out.
Nico is enjoying more solid foods, she especially likes sharp cheddar cheese and cheerios (what baby does not thought).
Her hair is getting long and a little shaggy.
I love how she is all rumpled and a little loopy after she wakes up from a nap. She is super cuddly and puffy eyed.
Here is her latest trick. Notice if you will what we are using as an incentive to get her going. Paper!

3 Necessary Supplements to Grow Taller
Achieving the height that you want requires considering all aspects of your life, diet, exercise, and lifestyle related habits, and working on them. Using
supplements to grow taller
is only advisable when you have deficiencies that call for using them. The supplements required are usually those that provide you with supplemental nutrients or growth hormone or substances that act as stimulants for growth. So, here are some of these
supplements to grow taller
Calcium is the most important mineral required for skeletal growth and other metabolic activities in the body. Calcium supplements are widely available in the market and can be bought without prescription. While buying these supplements, you should also ensure that they have calcium absorbing substances added to them, such as vitamin D and magnesium.
Hormonal supplements are mostly used by those whose growth hormone secretion is inhibited for some reason. Hormone supplements are the ones that should be taken with caution and under supervision. Unless you have lab reports that indicate the affects of growth hormone inhibited, they are not advisable. But, it's best if you can consult your family physician or specialized doctor who can determine and prescribe the right supplements for you.
The body needs a balanced supply of vitamins on regular basis to keep up with the growth rate. You can either take supplements of specific vitamin or use multivitamins depending on which you need. Make sure you buy them from approved and reliable brands.
Word of Caution Before Deciding on Using Supplements
Do not buy the supplements available in the market without professional advice, especially, those that involve hormonal supplements. Get yourself thoroughly examined by your physician for any nutritional deficiencies that might have caused problem with your growth and use supplements accordingly. Also keep in mind never to over use the supplements, as overdose can cause toxicity, which actually can lead to other health problems.
A healthy balanced diet will easily make up for most of your body's nutritional needs. However, keep in mind that using
supplements to grow taller
is a good option when you have any deficiency or apparent growth problems.

Idaho Water Coalition Announces Intent to Sueby Patricia R. McCoy, Idaho Staff writer
Capital Press, November 21, 2003
BOISE -- Debate over Idaho water ratcheted up another step here Nov. 17 when the Coalition for Idaho Water announced a 60-day notice of intent to sue to protect the state's water from a threatened lawsuit by environmentalists.
The new proposed lawsuit charges four federal agencies with violations of the Endangered Species Act, the Administrative Procedures Act and other federal laws regarding operation of the Bureau of Reclamation projects in the Upper Snake River Basin.
Respondents named in the proposed lawsuit are the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce, BuRec, and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration Fisheries.
The 60-day notice of intent said NOAA Fisheries issued various biological opinions specifically addressing BuRec Operations in the Upper Snake River Basin over the past five years in an effort to protect species protected under the endangered Species Act. Consultation between the bureau and NOAA Fisheries on those projects is unnecessary and contrary to law, the letter said.
That is because the projects are far removed from the Snake and Columbia rivers inhabited by the listed species, including any designated critical habitat, the letter said.
"BuRec has no legal authority to acquire water for ESA purposes. Even though the prior consultations have appropriately recognized the separate and distinct functions of BuRec's operations in the Upper Snake River Basin from other federal operations in the rest of the Columbia River Basin, consultations on other actions authorized, funded or carried out by federal agencies have improperly relied upon flow augmentation as a form of mitigation for these other actions' effects on listed salmon and steelhead," the letter said.
Federal Errors
"Even assuming that consultation may have been required on the Upper Snake Projects operations, it is evident that both the BuRec and NOAA Fisheries have committed certain errors in assessing and evaluating the effects of the projects on listed salmon and steelhead in the Lower Snake and Columbia Rivers," the letter continued.
The notice of intent to sue was issued on behalf of members of the Coalition for Idaho Water, the Idaho Water Users Association, and numerous irrigation water spaceholders, said Norm Semanko, executive head and legal counsel for the Coalition and IWUA.
It responds to a threatened lawsuit against BuRec and NOAA Fisheries filed Aug. 22 by Idaho Rivers United, American rivers, the National Wildlife Federation and the Idaho Conservation League, represented by Advocates for the West and EarthJustice.
The environmentalists' proposed lawsuit calls on federal agencies to operate the 10 Upper Snake River projects in compliance with the ESA.
Idaho water users revived the Coalition for Idaho Water to oppose the proposed litigation. They claimed such a lawsuit could potentially dry up some two million acres of Southern Idaho farmland, end kayaking and rafting on Idaho rivers after the annual spring runoff ends, and cause other economically harmful results.
U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, intervened, pulling the opposing sides together for closed door negotiations intended to find collaborative solutions and avoid litigation. Those talks have not been reconvened since the environmentalists, except for the Idaho Conservation League, refused to pledge not to sue.
Protect Water
In announcing the Coalition's Nov. 17 letter of intent to sue, Semanko said legal action is necessary to aggressively protect and defend Idaho's water against numerous misguided legal attacks being leveled by the environmental community.
"We did not make the decision to fight over Idaho water in the federal courts. The environmentalists did. Now that we have been forced onto that path, we must fight, and fight aggressively. The 60-day notice is one part of that strategy," Semanko said.
Water users and the state of Idaho cooperated with the federal government to help provide water from Idaho for flow augmentation for the past dozen years, as long as it came from willing sellers. That sent more than 4 million acre feet of water downstream for an experiment that has failed, Semanko said.
"Despite this considerable sacrifice of Idaho water, the environmental community now wants more - a lot more. Flow augmentation is a failed experiment, and there is simply no basis for requiring ever-increasing amounts of water from Idaho, especially in the middle of an historic, prolonged drought," he said.
In announcing their refusal to pledge not to file suit, the environmentalists cited as their principal reason the fact that they are excluded from the Snake River Basin Adjudication, which started in Idaho in the late 1980s, and is still in progress.
Many of the issues they are concerned with in the current talks hosted by Crapo over their propose litigation are the same ones being discussed in SRBA talks, making it impossible for any real agreements to be negotiated now, the environmentalists said.
Environmentalists sought intervener status in the SRBA, but were excluded by a court ruling that said no one can participate in the adjudication unless they hold a water right. The environmentalists as organizations hold no water rights, said spokesmen for the Idaho Department of Water Resources.

Film Canister Rocket
Whether they are breaking the atmosphere into space or soaring through the sky here on Earth, all rockets are launched into the air by the generation of thrust. In this experiment you can launch your own home-made rocket and rocket fuel using everyday things around the house.
As with any explosive experiment, make sure you have a grown up handy for this one.
Houston, we have no problem!
What you will need
- Empty 35mm camera film canister
- 1 big adult
- 1 fizzy acid relief tablet (Such as Alka-Seltzer)
- Water
- Teaspoon
- Goggles
How to do it
- Head out to the garden with all your equipment (well, you wouldn't launch a rocket indoors, would you?).
- Put your safety goggles on.
- Snap the Alka-Seltzer tablet in two.
- Take the lid off the camera film canister and pour a teaspoon full of water inside.
- Drop half of the Alka-Seltzer into the canister, then fit the canisters lid.
- QUICKLY place the canister upside down, so the lid is on the ground, and move at least two metres away from your film canister rocket.
- In around ten seconds you should see your home-made rocket whizz into the air.
Would more water effect how fast or high the rocket flies?
What effect would adding the whole Alka-Seltzer tablet have?
What is Happening?
When the Alka-Seltzer is added to the water it generates a gas called carbon-dioxide - the same gas that gives fizzy drinks their fizz. As more gas is generated in the small, airtight, space of the canister, an intense amount of pressure is created. This pressure creates the thrust that blasts the cap down and launches the canister into the air.
Despite being a gas, carbon-dioxide is nothing to worry about. It is not poisonous and plants absorb it.
Please get in touch, we'll look forward to hearing from you!

Dolby to host SMPTE United Kingdom section inaugural meeting
The Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) has scheduled the first meeting of the newly formed SMPTE United Kingdom section. The meeting will take place tonight at 7pm at Dolby's London office, 4–6 Soho Square. The event will focus on the formal launch of the section and will include advanced technology demonstrations. There is no charge to attend. However, those interested are asked to register at http://smpteukinaugural.eventbrite.co.uk The UK section was formed by the SMPTE board of governors earlier this year following a petition brought by Richard Welsh, head of operations for digital cinema UK at Technicolor and the SMPTE regional governor. Interim leaders of the new section include Chris Johns (BSkyB), as section chair and Peter Weitzel (weitzel.tv), as secretary/treasurer. Tim Harris (Digital Vision), Bob Gentry (GSTQ), Eric Bastin (Avcom Systems) and Matt Desborough (Dolby Labs) are section managers. "The founding of the section in the UK is representative of SMPTE's ongoing global expansion. We are delighted to welcome our colleagues from the UK, which has a rich history in broadcast and cinema and is making vital contributions to rapidly evolving digital media ecosystem, including the multiscreen market," said Peter Ludé, SMPTE president. "We saw the results of the extensive UK knowledge base at work with the exceptionally delivered broadcast of the London Olympics," said Paul Stechly, SMPTE Sections vice president. "I am looking forward to seeing many quality programmes and growing membership coming from the UK Section in the coming years." The UK Section has already planned its programme through June 2013.www.smpte.org/sections/united-kingdom

WisdomWomen is an experimental space for women to take the courageous and vulnerable path of pioneering a world that honors all of Life. The following principles guide our journey.
We support each other in seeing, naming and owning our most sacred visions. We place our focus and trust into these visions, which have their own intelligence. We do not hold these visions as our own, but rather allow ourselves to be vessels through which they manifest. We allow the vision to guide the journey forward.
In our peer community, we honor each other as whole in our wisdom, experiences and knowing. We speak up and contribute what is ours to contribute. Women in leadership positions are trusted to facilitate the group so every voice is heard and to connect us to the greater whole of WisdomWomen.
We honor structure and allow fluidity. There is a radical faith that there are other realms at work – however you define that. We follow the greater collective field that we are of service to. 'What wants to happen next?' is the process question. We flow with the shifts and changes that arise.
As we experiment with bringing new ideas to form, we will make mistakes and need to overcome our known and comfortable ways and patterns. Therefore, we create a space where 'failures' are seen as gifts and lessons. We hold compassion for the old patterns, shadows and fears that we must face, yet we do not remain fixated on our old stories.
We tune into the wisdom and knowing of our body to guide us each step of the way. We listen to the subtle sensations and messages of the body and when it communicates that something is or is not aligned. We listen to the deep messages of the visions moving through us.
We take action after we have listened to the emergence of the vision and where it wants to take us.
We hold each other's stories and dreams with emotional and practical support, and help each other birth them into the world.

America is a relatively young nation. So many of our oldest historical buildings are laughed at by the ones in Europe or Asia, being merely children in comparison. Of course, the Native Americans were here before the Pilgrims, but very few of their structures have survived through the centuries.
Arizona, however, is a treasure trove of National Monuments – many of them Native American dwellings. While the majority of Native American's in this area lived in pueblos constructed on the ground, there were a few that lived in cliff dwellings. The cliff dwelling known as Montezuma's Castle is one of the most significant.
Like most Native American dwellings, Montezuma's Castle was looted over the years. However, through President Teddy Roosevelt's foresight, the area was deemed a National Monument in 1906 which ensured government protection of further desecration of the site.
This site was built around 700 before being abandoned briefly after Sunset Crater Volcano (which is now a nearby National Monument) erupted. Then it was inhabited continuously from 1100 to 1425 by the Sinagua. It was named "Montezuma's" because the Europeans that found it thought it had to be Aztec. Like so many things they assumed, they were wrong about that. Montezuma was born a good 100 years after the site was abandoned, and nothing had a connection to the Aztecs. It also isn't a castle. It's more like a "prehistoric high rise apartment complex". The five-story stone and mortar dwellings contain 20 rooms and once housed about 50 people. You can no longer enter the site through ladders, so photography is only possible from below.
The National Monument also covers Montezuma's Well, which you can more freely access and I am really glad we stopped to see it. An oasis in the desert landscape, this natural limestone sinkhole is fed by two springs and over 1.5 million gallons of water flows through it daily. That number amazingly does not change much, even in drought years.
The water emerges at a warm (or in the summer, cool) 74 degrees and flows through the well into an underground cave.
It then leads this highly carbonated water into a irrigation ditch. Despite the water's high concentration of lead, this ditch was used for cultivated crops by the nearby tribes. It still supplies nearby agricultural pursuits today.
It also flows into Wet Beaver Creek at a rate of 1,100 gallons per minute, which served as an additional irrigation source to the Sinagua people and later inhabitants.
This area truly was the lifeblood of Hohokam and later the Sinaguas. You can see ruins of multiple dwellings very close to the well. The Yavapai people, rivals of the Sinagua, believe they entered the world through this well and treat it as a sacred site.
One of the most striking things about the well were two giant Arizona Sycamore trees next to the irrigation ditch. These trees have to have their roots in a constant water supply, which makes the areas it can survive in Arizona very small in number. They can reach a height of 80 feet! The builders of Montzuma's Castle used these trees to make the main beams of the dwelling.
Both Montezuma's Castle and Well are easily accessed from Highway 17 north of Camp Verde and south of Flagstaff.

Your pictures are really very nice! I especially like the creek picture. Thanks for this interesting and educational post.
I think the rock high rise is very beautiful and amazing that it is still around today. It must have been built well. The photo of the cactus and well, together with the sycamore tree are amongst my favourites.
Beautiful pictures! These ruins are amazing! We haven't made it to this part of arizona yet but these are definitely worth a stop.
Interesting bit of American history here, Amy. I haven't seen nearly enough of the south-west.
That looks amazing. We have other cliff dwellings on our itinerary for the southwest trip, but not that one. It's too bad it's not on my route!!! I would like to go there someday.
How interesting! and your photos are gorgeous. What an adventure it would be to go inside!

Before proceeding with further discussion, it's useful at this point to introduce what I call the "reflexive density constant", or "R". This may sound totally unrelated to error detection and secure hashes, but bear with me.
What is R? The best way to define it is procedurally:
1. Set all N bits in a bitfield to 0.
2. N times, choose one of the bits in the bitfield at (true) random. Set the bit to 1, regardless of its current value.
3. Count all the 1s in the bitfield. Divide by N. R is the limit of this ratio as N approaches infinity.
There is an infinite expression tree for R, which I don't have time to investigate. So I approximated it using a true random number generator. It appears to be close to 0.6321...
This value appears to equal 1-1/e. (Isn't transcendental reverse approximation cool? Thank you, WolframAlpha!) [EDIT: This turns out to be correct, as proven here.] Granted, this could all just be an elegant coincidence, as I have no formal proof. Either way, I surmise that an infinite Bayesian logic tree is at the heart of R. [EDIT: Alternatively, one could use the Jytter userspace true random number generator to arrive at an empirical approximation of R.]
1-1/e also comes up in the online stochastic bipartite matching problem. Is this significant? I don't know and don't have time to find out, but maybe you do.
Anyway, what about the name? "Reflexive" refers to choosing N bits at random from a bitfield which contains equally many bits. "Density" refers to the fraction of 1s. "Constant" reflects the apparent constancy of R in the infinite limit of N.
Now, how does this relate to pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs), EDCs, and secure hashes? Well, it turns out that compliance with R is a very good measure of the quality of each of these:
For a PRNG to look convincing, its outputs must mimic an unbiased true random number generator (TRNG). We can ascertain the quality of this mimicry by running the test above using the PRNG instead of a TRNG. The result should be close to R. If it's much less than R, then the PSNG is getting trapped in a small subset of possible outputs (a tight orbit). If it's much more than R -- in the worst case, 1 -- then it's starting to act like an out-of-order counter.
A good EDC requires a PRNG of the above criteria. Otherwise, who knows what data resonances might occur, which would weaken said EDC. All multiply-with-carry generators in the LMD family appear to adhere to within 1% of R.
Consider the hash function H(L), where L is a message and H(L) is its hash. Given L', a derivative of L, which is probably only slightly different, e.g. a single bit flipped. We can then crack this hash by finding some integer U such that:
H(L)=H(L') xor U
Simply xor U to H(L'), and presto, L' appears to be legit. (The xor could be replaced by addition or some other operator, depending on the cryptographic context. The point is, if it's easy to find U, the "difference" of the hashes, then it's easy to crack the hash.)
We can also crack the hash by finding L' such that:
Now... how do we know how easy it is to solve for U, in the general case of a long hash? We don't -- at least, not precisely. However, by gathering statistics from similar hashes of tractable length (perhaps 24 bits or less, given the limits of desktop computer power), we can often extrapolate to hashes of similar construction but merely longer length. Is this foolproof? No. But it's probably the best that we can do, absent more computer power. (And if we had enough computer power to do a complete analysis of the real hash, then, prima facia, the hash would be of insufficient length to be secure.) At least, if the short hash turns out to be weak, then we know that the long hash is in jeopardy. If the short hash turns out to be strong, then we can attempt to try as many samples as possible, in order to bolster our faith that the real hash is also strong.
How does all this relate to R? Well, think of U as an N-bit integer, where N is equal to the number of bits in the hash itself. Then R tells us that ~63% of the 2^N possible U values are actually roots of the hash with respect to L vs. L'. The number of actual roots, divided by 2^N, is what I call the "root density", D. If D is not close to R, then we have a weak (or, suboptimally strong) hash. Why?
Here's where your brain has to twist... fasten your seatbelt.
First of all, remember that we can't gather statistics on a hash of "interesting" length because, after all, the length of the hash is meant to hamper all attempts to solve for U. So, we're solving for U on hashes of tractable length, but similar construction, in the hopes that the statistics are extapolatable to the actual hash in question. (It's easy to solve for U in the above case, for example. Just compute H(L) and H(L'), then xor them together. Depending on the cryptographic context, this process could be more complex, but the concept is the same.)
So just create 2^N versions of L', and count the populations of all associated values of U. What you get is a population histogram of U over all 2^N versions of L'. (The same process allows us to compare how H(L) differs from H'(L), where H and H' differ by only their pseudorandom seeds. Suffice to say, this technique can be applied to a wide variety of hash modifications.)
So the question is, how many roots (unique values of U) are there, compared to how many there could possibly be (2^N)? For example, if we find only 3 unique values of U, which occur over and over again, then the answer is 3/(2^N). If we find all 2^N values, then the answer is 1. I would suggest that we want the answer (D) to be as close to R as possible.
To understand why, first consider the extreme cases: 1 unique root, and 2^N unique roots. In the first case, it might be that the binary equation trees for deriving U from L and L' (and yes, there are such equations, despite the fact that you couldn't write them down in a lifetime) might have a hidden simplicity, which a smart computer could discover. In the second case, a comparable argument prevails: the set of solutions is "too perfect", such that every possible root is in fact a root. In this case, there might be a boring linear relationship between L, L', and U. In the absence of any other information, then, it's compelling to believe that the binary equations reach maximum complexity when D=R.
The point here is wider than simply creating memory capacity pains for classical computers attempting to subvert the hash. There's a quantum computer issue here, as well: if the roots appear to have been chosen at random, then it stands to reason that a quantum computer will behave as if they are in fact arranged at random, which is to say that they will represent (unstable) excited states for the wave function, eluding the quantum computer's attempts to discover the global minimum, i.e. the particular value of U which legitimizes a particular L'.
But there's one other consideration for the quantum case: root multiplicity. Essentially, the larger the ratio between maximum and (nonzero) minimum root multiplicity (the "root multiplicity ratio"), the greater the odds that a quantum computer will find the root with maximum multiplicity.
What distribution of root multiplicities would we expect if we chose 2^N values of U at random? That's a question related to Poisson distributions and beyond the scope of this blog. (I call it the "Poisson Criterion".) Suffice to say that if my extrapolations from shorter hashes are valid, then LMD4, LMD5, and LMD6 all exhibit root multiplicity ratios close enough to what a Poisson distribution would dictate, as to be unhelpful to the best known attack method, which is a birthday attack.
Got it? Good. Now we can talk about secure hashes...
