You are strongly advised to take the time to read the following instructions before submitting a paper to any of the IIETA journals.
This section explains the IIETA's editorial criteria, and how our editors handle papers from submission through publication.
-Publication criteria
To get published in the IIETA journals, a scientific paper should report original research, be of tremendous scientific importance, or report a finding that interests the readers in the relevant field. The originality means the main results should neither been published before nor be under consideration for publication in other journals. The papers published in the IIETA journals have a wide influence among scholars and ordinary readers.
-Submission method
To reduce delays, the level, length and format of the paper should conform with the IIETA's requirements (Formatting guide), at submission and each revision. Papers should be submitted via our Open Journal Systems (OJS). Also, it is optional to submit a cover letter with your paper. The cover letter should highlight the importance of the paper and explain why it is suitable for the journal. Do not repeat what is already present in the abstract and introduction.
-Initial evaluation
On submission, the paper is assigned to an editor covering the subject area, who will decide whether to send it for peer review. The criteria are that the work described seems novel and has immediate and far-reaching implications. The editor who has been assigned the paper will seek advice from experts in relevant fields before making the decision. The decision does not reflect the technical validity of the results reported in the paper. Neither does it indicate the importance of the paper to those in the same field.
-Peer review
Once the decision has been made to peer review the paper, the editor who has been assigned the paper will select reviewers. If necessary, he/she will seek advice from editors who have lately handled papers in relevant fields. The reviewers must be independent from the authors and their institutions, able to evaluate the technical aspects of the paper, and available to evaluate the paper within the required period. Each paper will be sent to at least two reviewers.
-Review decisions
In the light of reviewers' comments, the editor who has been assigned the paper will send an email to the corresponding author via our OJS, offering one of the following options:
(a) Accept: The paper is accepted for publication without any further changes required from the authors.
(b) Minor revision: The paper is accepted for publication in principle once the authors have made some revisions according to reviewers' comments. As no further experiment or technical work has been requested, the revised paper will not be sent back to the reviewers, but accepted for publication after the editor who has been assigned the paper has checked that the reviewers' comments have been implemented and that the revised paper satisfies the format requirements (Formatting guide).
(c) Major revision: The paper will have a good opportunity of being accepted for publication once the authors have made significant revisions according to reviewers' comments. In this case, further experiment or technical work are necessary to address the reviewers' concerns. The revised paper will be sent back to one or both reviewers for a second round of review. The authors should also provide a point-by-point response to reviewers' comments.
(d) Rejection: The paper is rejected because the reviewers have raised considerable technical objections and/or the authors' claim has not been adequately established.
-Copy editing
Once accepted, the paper is copyedited to maximize its clarity and enhance its value. Our subeditors will recheck the grammar, spelling and format of the paper. Special care is given to papers written by non-native speakers, and special attention is paid to summary paragraphs, overall clarity, figures, and titles. The copyedited paper is expected to satisfy the following requirements: the paper is of the proper length, the terminology and notation conform to our standards, and the figures and tables are clear and fit in the space available.
After going through the above steps, the paper will appear in the forthcoming issues of the corresponding IIETA journal.
-Manuscript transfer
If the editor who has been assigned the paper is unable to offer publication of your manuscript, you can transfer all manuscript materials, the acceptance email and any reviewers' comments to another IIETA journal without restarting the entire submission process. The new journal must cover the same field or have high relevance with the original journal. You may initiate the transfer process to the new journal or submit elsewhere.
This section introduces how to prepare your paper for submission to the IIETA. You are recommended to read this section and our template carefully before submitting anything to the IIETA. You are also recommended to get familiar with the IIETA's style and content by reading our journals, either in print or online. It is strongly advised that you just replace the "content" of the template without modifying the "form".
General requirements
The IIETA publishes multiple top-rated international journals covering a wide range of research fields. Therefore, papers should be written in clear and simple language, making them easily accessible to readers in other disciplines and for whom English is not their first language. For this purpose, technical jargons should be avoided as much as possible, and be clearly explained where their use is unavoidable. As with abbreviations, please spell out the full name upon first mention in the text and then provide the abbreviation. Non-standard abbreviations should be kept to a minimum. The background, methodology and main conclusions of the paper should be clearly explained. Titles and the abstract should be written in language that will be readily intelligible to any expert. Essential but specialized terms should be explained concisely but not didactically. To avoid unnecessary errors, you are strongly advised to use the "spell-check" and "grammar-check" functions of your word processor.
-Inclusive language
Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Any paper submitted to the IIETA should make no assumption about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, should not contain anything which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of race, sex, culture or any other characteristic, and should use inclusive language throughout. Authors must ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by using "he or she", "his/her" instead of "he" or "his", and by making use of job titles that are free of stereotyping (e.g. "chairperson" instead of "chairman" and "flight attendant" instead of "stewardess").
-Overall structure
Each paper should be organized in the following sequence: title, author information, abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, results and discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, references, nomenclature and appendix (if any). We encourage authors to incorporate these contents in a single file (Microsoft Word), and place tables and figures in a separate file. The preferred length of each paper falls between 4 and 12 pages of the IIETA journals. Each paper should contain at least 15 references.
Requirements by section
The title should be concise and informative. It does not normally contain acronyms, abbreviations, punctuation or formulae. The title should be general enough to convey the theme of the paper to readers outside of the field, and include enough details for indexing purpose.
-Author information
The author information contains the name, affiliation and address of each author, plus the email of the corresponding author. The corresponding author should be identified by an asterisk symbol. The IIETA expects the identified author to coordinate the handling of corrections complaints and any other matters arising from the published paper. The author named as corresponding author is not necessarily the senior author, and publication of his or her name does not imply seniority.
Each paper has an abstract, separate from the main text, of up to 300 words, which does not have references, and does not contain non-essential abbreviations, acronyms or measurements. The abstract should be a single paragraph and should follow the style of structured abstracts, but without headings: Purpose: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the research purpose; Methodology: Describe briefly the main methods applied in the paper. Results & Conclusions: Summarize the main results of the paper and interpret them in concise words. Do not include results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text or exaggerate the main conclusions. Implications: Explain how the research findings contribute to the question addressed.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of six keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and" and "of"), and arrange them in alphabetic order. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the paper, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline. Do not use abbreviations unless they are firmly established in the field. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
The introduction should be succinct, with no subheadings. In this section, the study should be briefly placed in a broad context, highlighting its importance. The purpose and significance of the research should be clearly defined, including specific hypotheses being tested. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully, with key publications cited. Finally, the main aim, methodology and conclusions of the work should be summed up in a concise thesis statement. The introduction should be written in language that will be comprehensible to readers working outside the topic.
The methodology section should be written as concisely as possible but should provide enough details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. New methods should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly introduced and properly cited. If the method from a previous paper is used, then this paper must be cited and discussed. Detailed descriptions of the method already published should be avoided; a reference number can be provided to save space, with any new addition or variation stated. If multiple methods are adopted in the work, the methodology section should be subdivided into several subsections, each providing details on a specific method.
-Results and discussion
Results and discussion may be divided into subsections or may be combined. If combined, section headings should be used and subheadings may appear. This section should provide a concise and precise description of the results, their interpretation and possible conclusions that can be drawn from the results. The authors are recommended to discuss the results and how they can be interpreted in perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible.
This section should clearly explain the main conclusions of the research, highlighting its importance and relevance. The limitations of the work and future research directions may also be mentioned. It must not contain anything not substantiated in the main text. Please do not make another abstract.
All acknowledgments (if any) should be included at the very end of the manuscript before the references. Do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. Anyone who contributed to the research or manuscript, but who is not a listed author, should be acknowledged. Do not include thanks to anonymous reviews and editors, inessential words, or effusive comments. All sources of funding of the study should be listed in this standard way: This work is supported by the National Science Foundation (Grant numbers: xxxx, yyyy). It is not necessary to include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards.
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). References are each numbered, ordered sequentially as they appear in the text, tables, etc. As a guideline, each paper should contain no fewer than 15 references. Only one publication can be listed for each number. All authors should be included in reference lists.
Please follow the style below in the published edition of the IIETA journals and the examples in our template in preparing reference lists.
Authors should be listed surname first, followed by a comma and initials of given names.
Titles of all cited articles are required and should be in upright, not italic text; the initial letter of the first word in the title should be capitalized, and the title written exactly as it appears in the work cited, ending with a full stop. Book titles should be in upright with the initial letter of each main word capitalized. The publisher and city of publication are required for books cited. Journal titles should be in upright and abbreviated according to common usage.
References to websites should give authors if known, title of cited page, URL in full, and date of access.
The digital object identifier (DOI) should be attached to the end of a reference if the reference has one indeed.
You are encouraged to identify in your papers the articles of similar research published in the IIETA journals.
All the symbols used in the text and their definitions should be listed in detail and unambiguously. Do not use the same symbol for two or more different meanings or definitions; similarly, do not use more than one symbol for one variable/parameter. Each dimensional symbol must have SI units mentioned at the end. All dimensionless groups and coefficients must be indicated as dimensionless after their definitions. More requirements and example of nomenclature is provided in our template.
If there is an Appendix section in your paper, please place the section after Nomenclature and follow the format of the text.
Special requirements
You are strongly recommended to use MathType to edit equations, and submit equations as editable text and not as images. Microsoft Equation Editor is also acceptable. An equation should not be partly text and partly MathType, or partly MathType and party Microsoft Equation Editor. "Float over text" should not be selected. Avoid redundant spacings or punctuations that may undermine the display of equations. Number consecutively any equations that must be displayed separately from the text, if referred to explicitly in the text. Specific formats of equations are given in our template.
Create tables using Microsoft Word embedded functions or export Microsoft Excel tables. Do not create tables by hand using multiple spaces or tabs and containing no cells. Every table must have a descriptive title and if numerical measurements are given, the units should be included in the column heading. Tables have a short, one-line title in bold text.
At initial submission, tables and figures should be placed in a separate file. The table quality should be good enough to be assessed by reviewers. Before publication, all tables should be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and must be numbered following their number of appearance (Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Specific formats of Tables are given in our template.
A short, explanatory caption should be placed directly below the figure. Ensure that the caption is on the same page with the figure. The IIETA requires figures in electronic format. Figures should be as small and simple as possible, without sacrificing clarity. Avoid unnecessary complexity, coloring and excessive details.
Lettering in figures should be in lower-case type, with the first letter capitalized and no full stop. Units should have a single space between the number and the unit, and follow SI nomenclature. Thousands should be separated by commas (1,000).
At initial submission, figures and tables should be placed in a separate file. The figure quality should be good enough to be assessed by reviewers. Before publication, all figures should be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and must be numbered following their number of appearance (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.). Specific formats of figures are given in our template.
-Measurement units
Units of measurement should be presented simply and concisely, following the International System of Units (SI). Imperial, US customary and other units should be converted to SI units whenever possible. Units of measure are separated from numbers by a space. Specific formats of measurement units are given in our template.
Before submitting, all authors must also agree to the IIETA's publication ethics.
Authorship provides credit for a researcher's papers to a study and carries accountability. Each author is expected to have made substantial papers to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; or the creation of new software used in the work; or have drafted the work or substantively revised it; and to have approved the submitted version; and to have agreed both to be personally accountable for the author's own papers and to ensure that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work, even ones in which the author was not personally involved, are appropriately investigated, resolved, and the resolution documented in the literature.
The corresponding author should be responsible for the following with respect to data and materials: ensuring that data and materials comply with transparency and reproducibility standards of the field and journal; ensuring that original data and materials upon which the submission is based are preserved following best practices in the field so that they are retrievable for reanalysis; confirming that data and materials accurately reflects the original; foreseeing and minimizing obstacles to the sharing of data and materials described in the work.
The corresponding author should also serve as the point of contact for queries about the published paper. It is his/her responsibility to inform all co-authors of any matters arising in relation to the published paper and to ensure such matters are dealt with promptly. Authors of published material have a responsibility to inform the journal immediately if they become aware of any aspects that requires correction.
Any changes to the author list after submission, such as a change in the order of the authors or the deletion or addition of authors, must be approved by every author. The IIETA editors are not responsible for investigating or adjudicating authorship disputes before or after publication. If they cannot be resolved amongst authors, such disagreements should be directed to the relevant institutional authority.
-Duplicate publication
Material submitted to an IIETA journal must be original and not published or submitted for publication elsewhere. If part of a paper that an author wishes to submit to an IIETA journal has appeared or will appear elsewhere, he/she must specify the details in the cover letter at the submission. Consideration by the IIETA journal is possible only if the main result, conclusions, or implications are not apparent from the other work, or if the other work is published in a language other than English. In case of any doubt, authors should seek advice from the editor handling their paper.
If an author is re-using a figure or figures published elsewhere, or that is copyrighted, the author must provide documentation that the previous publisher or copyright holder has given permission for the figure to be re-published. The IIETA editors consider all material in good faith that their journals have full permission to publish every part of the submitted material, including figures.
Plagiarism is unacknowledged copying or an attempt to misattribute original authorship, whether of ideas, text or results. Plagiarism can be said to have clearly occurred when large chunks of text have been cut-and-pasted without appropriate and unambiguous attribution. Such a paper will not be considered for publication in an IIETA journal. Aside from wholesale verbatim reuse of text, due care must be taken to ensure appropriate attribution and citation when paraphrasing and summarising the work of others.
Text recycling, or reuse of parts of text from an author's previous research publication, is a form of self-plagiarism. When reusing text, whether from the author's own publication or that of others, appropriate attribution and citation is necessary to avoid creating a misleading perception of unique paper for the reader.
Duplicate publication occurs when an author reuses substantial parts of his/her own published work without providing the appropriate references. This can range from publishing an identical paper in multiple journals, to only adding a small amount of new data to a published paper.
The IIETA journal editors assess all such cases on their individual merits. When plagiarism becomes evident post-publication, the IIETA may correct or retract the original publication depending on the degree of plagiarism, context within the published article and its impact on the overall integrity of the published study.
The IIETA uses CrossRef to screen for unoriginal material. Authors should be aware that their paper may be submitted to CrossRef at any point from submission to publication. Any allegations of plagiarism made to a journal will be investigated. If the allegations appear to be founded, we will request all named authors of the paper to explain the overlapping material. If the explanation is not satisfactory, we will reject the submission, and may also reject future submissions.
-Competing interests
In the interests of transparency and to help readers form their own judgements of potential bias, the IIETA requires authors to declare any competing financial and/or non-financial interests in relation to the work described.
In this policy, competing interests are defined as financial and non-financial interests that could directly undermine, or be perceived to undermine the objectivity, integrity and value of a publication, through a potential influence on the judgements and actions of authors regarding objective data presentation, analysis and interpretation.
The corresponding author is responsible for submitting a competing interests' statement vis the OJS on behalf of all authors of the paper. Since the IIETA adopts a double-blind peer review, reviewers will be provided with a minimal statement disclosing the existence of any financial or non-financial interest, to prevent the disclosure of authors' identities.
Editors, authors and reviewers are required to keep confidential all details of the editorial and peer review process on submitted papers. The peer review process is confidential and conducted anonymously; identities of reviewers are not released. Reviewers must maintain confidentiality of manuscripts. If a reviewer wishes to seek advice from colleagues while assessing a manuscript, the reviewer must consult with the editor and should ensure that confidentiality is maintained and that the names of any such colleagues are provided to the journal with the final report. Regardless of whether a submitted manuscript is eventually published, correspondence with the journal, reviewers' comments and other confidential material must not be published, disclosed or otherwise publicised without prior written consent. Reviewers should be aware that it is our policy to keep their names confidential and that we do our utmost to ensure this confidentiality. We cannot, however, guarantee to maintain this confidentiality in the face of a successful legal action to disclose identity. The IIETA reserves the right to contact funders, regulatory bodies, journals and the authors' institutions in cases of suspected research or publishing misconduct.
Please note that, once the editorial board informs the author that the paper under review is accepted, via email or online journal system, it is tacitly approved that the copyright of the paper is transferred from the author to the journal, no matter whether Copyright Transfer Agreement is signed or the formal acceptance letter is offered instantly after the acceptance. As soon as the acceptance decision is notified, the editorial board will not agree to any request from the author for cancellation or removal of the paper.
IIETA will hold copyright on all papers, while the author will maintain all other rights including patents and the right to use and reproduce material.

New NY schools chief pulled over by NYPD
Two New York City police officers ran into some unexpected trouble when they pulled over a vehicle carrying one of the city's more powerful officials, schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott.
Walcott was a few blocks from his Queens home just before midnight Thursday when his city-owned vehicle was pulled over by plain-clothed officers in an anti-crime unit. Walcott was a passenger.
The chancellor's spokeswoman, Natalie Ravitz, said the driver hadn't done anything wrong, and Walcott spoke up.
"When Chancellor Walcott asked the officers to please tell him why they had been pulled over, the officer responded that they had failed to use a turn signal," she told the New York Post. "Chancellor Walcott told the officers that this was incorrect as he heard the turn signal."
After Walcott identified himself, the officers ran a license check and let the vehicle go without writing a ticket.
"There was no traffic violation, and at no time did Chancellor Walcott ask that any ticket be waived," Ravitz told The AP in an email. She said Walcott asked one officer for her badge number, but neither she nor the other officer identified themselves.
The Post said Walcott later complained to the police commissioner.
A department spokesman, Sgt. Carlos Nieves, said the internal affairs bureau is reviewing the incident.
Like other police departments, the NYPD has been criticized over the years by black motorists who have complained about being stopped for minor or nonexistent violations. In 2008, a white officer was disciplined by the department after he unknowingly confronted a black motorist parked on the street who turned out to be a high-ranking NYPD commander.
Walcott, a former deputy mayor who worked with the police department in the 1990s on improving community relations, is black.
Asked whether Walcott believed race was a factor, Ravitz declined to comment. She also declined to disclose the driver's name, saying he had done nothing wrong.
"NYC has the best police force in the world, and Chancellor Walcott has a long history of working with the NYPD and respects that the police were there to protect the neighborhood," she said.

Bow down: Beyonce was the reigning queen of Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.
The diva closed the awards show with an epic nearly 20-minute performance. She was joined onstage by her beaming husband and daughter which brought her to tears, amid the numerous rumors surrounding her marriage.
Beyonce sang and danced in a metallic leotard while Blue Ivy and Jay Z watched from their seats as the diva declared: "MTV, welcome to my world."
U.S. & World
As Beyonce accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award at The Forum in Inglewood, California, she kissed her daughter and husband Jay Z, who called her the "greatest living entertainer."
"I'm so full. I have nothing to say but I am filled with so much gratitude," she told the cheering crowd as they chanted her name repeatedly.
Her performance easily outdid her competition throughout the night, though Beyonce lost video of the year, which instead went to a teary Miley Cyrus who let a homeless man accept her award for video of the year. It was in sharp contrast to the 2013 VMAs, when Cyrus twerked and danced shockingly onstage.
"Thank y'all, my name is Jesse and I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives right now. I know this because I am one of these people," he said, as a teary Cyrus looked on. "Though I may have been invisible to you in the streets, I have a lot of the same dreams that brought many of you here tonight."
Cyrus' decision to let someone else accept her award to promote a cause was reminiscent of Marlon Brando's 1973 Academy Awards best actor win, when he gave a Native American activist the stage rather than accept his Oscar trophy.
The two-hour show was tamer than past VMAs: the most shocking moment was Nicki Minaj's rump-shaking during her performance of "Anaconda" in the show's first minutes and her wardrobe malfunction when she joined Ariana Grande and Jessie J for "Bang, Bang."
"It felt amazing to open the show, and we ran out of time getting the dress zipped up," Minaj said backstage.
Taylor Swift was a crowd favorite when she performed her new single "Shake It Off" in shimmery shorts and a crop top. She got to the top of the stage, and as her tuxedoed male background dancers stood with their arms wide open waiting for Swift to jump she said, "One second. I don't care if it's the VMAs. I'm not jumping off there."
She continued: "It's all kinds of people getting bitten by snakes. Dangerous."
Grande, who held hands with rapper Big Sean backstage, kicked off the show with a performance of her EDM hit, "Break Free" in a Beyonce-inspired leotard. The 21-year-old won best pop video for her smash single "Problem," but lost best female video to Katy Perry, who won for the hit "Dark Horse."
Perry sported a figure-hugging denim dress and was joined by Riff Raff in a coordinating outfit, mirroring Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears at the 2001 American Music Awards.
The night featured a serious social message along with the performances. Rapper-actor Common held a moment of silence for Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old who was fatally shot by a police officer on Aug. 9, before he presented the award for best hip-hop video.
"Hip-hop has always been about truth and has been a powerful instrument of social change, from Melle Mel to Public Enemy to Kendrick Lamar," Common said. "Hip-hop has always been presented a voice for the revolution."
Later, a 15-second spot aired alluding to the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, urging viewers to take action to eliminate bias.
"Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced," a quote by author James Baldwin read on the screen.
Lorde won best rock video for "Royals" and Ed Sheeran won best male video, beating out Pharrell, Eminem, John Legend and Sam Smith, who was a show highlight with his smoldering performance of his hit "Stay With Me."
Iggy Azalea and Ora appeared onstage as spider women when they performed their hit "Black Widow," as Swift, Lorde and Charli XCX danced and sang along.

Hunting Blind
With a ton (well almost) of hunts starting tomorrow, it's hard to tell which one to pick first. Sometimes there is clearly a "big hunt" -- like STEAM or TWISTED, both coming to you in September. When there isn't an obvious choice though, how do we pick?
Typically I look at the store list and prize pictures. If I see a lot of stores who I have happy winnings from in the past, that's a clue this will be a good hunt. Prize photos certainly help and I admit to often going to check out just the ones I am interested in. But this month it is pretty much a mystery. Many of the hunts have no web presence, others almost no info at all on the page except perhaps a starting point. One even deleted the list of stores and prizes from the website sometime between this morning and this afternoon which seems very very odd.
So, it looks like we will be mostly hunting blind as the month begins. Of course there may be some weird conspiracy to keep us in the dark until the witching hour when most hunts official begin. If so, the morning may have better clues.
Until then I wish all you intrepid hunters the best of success. It's kinda like the old days this month. And gold stars to the hunt organizers who actually posted something for us!
Style notes: Old outfit featuring some hunt items from the past and a jacket from a store no longer with us. The gun came from the TSH hunt whatever that was. I don't use it often but I was SURE it would come in handy sometime *wink*. And see? It did.

Along with the more fun domestic activities are the chores like sweeping and mopping. Stains and bucket appear when you choose the animation and happily disappear when you "stand".
A wide variety of poses are included with adjustments. A few clicks on props has you making breakfast from scratch and serving it to your guest.
The kitchen weighs in at 161 prims and includes more than 80 poses.
After you've finished playing be sure an pick up your free placemats and eating utensils. Just click the vendor over by the entrance and choose Deliver.

She can dance!
"Miss Betty" PinUp hastens back to almost forgotten decades, a time when ladies were more or less ladies *wink* and this dress from deviousMind would have been considered quite risque.
Chandra has been working on this for a very long time. She gets extra gold stars from me; she actually created it all from scratch. I know as I saw the prototype when she came to see my new office! I am glad we have creators that enjoy making items we can love. I would rather just take the pretty pictures!
The hair flower is part of the set.
See you at the Fair!

My Mini Yukata Hana and Getas are two separate prizes from *Miumin* on the The Rebel's Playground Hunt (tricycle). I came away with the sandals and stockings, but returned for the dress; so cute. This really lovely outdoor loft bed comes complete with stools and is the prize on the Summer Garden Party Hunt. Find the chocolate ice cream on a stick (very easy) at BoatHouse.
The bed up top includes cuddle animations via a menu. A ladder in back adds authenticity. You can purchase the lanterns at an almost free price. They are only six prims for the string and each can be turned on an off. The stools have various poses and the fabric walls sway in the breeze.
A feminine outdoor area is July's VIP group gift (fee).
Whatever your mood or style, enjoy the summer.

The new Nouveau Leaves sets are releases for this year's Vintage Fair being held from August 4th to the 29th. Easy to personalize to fit your outfit, the design echos those of a century ago. Undoubtedly this has been passed down through the generations.
From the notecard:
There are 11 base metal textures; platinum,silver, pewter, black, pale gold, gold, dark gold, pale rose gold, dark rose gold. purple and verdigris. Plus colour-picker options to allow you to fine control the look. Shininess can be added via HUD or menu.Ring, bracelet, barrette, tiara and brooch are also available.
The inlaid glass textures have also 11 choices; red, coral, yellow, jade, olive, turquoise, blue, ink, lilac, white and black. Plus almost unlimited control over tinting.
My color coordinating eyeshadow is from KOSH on the Makeup and Tattoo Hunt, just one choice in a large selections of colors.

The Rebel's Playground - Romance
This very useful set of roses (tall, bushy, arch) is color change to fit your needs. Adjust brightness, glow and transparency also. While they look primmy, they are in fact only one prim each. Amazing. Search for these at Forest Feast, an old stomping ground of mine. It was great to return.
I used the term "search" purposefully in the above paragraph. This is the prize vendor that is far, far away from the landing point. Head down the long path towards the water and the tall beach house. It is worth the jaunt.
My hair is Adalia from Calico Ingman Creations.
When I am in prim rich mode I love having food out in the house. It adds a bit of extra realism to the environment. This parfait and cherry pie set from poche lets you mix and match sweets as your prim budget allows. The set as shown is 55 prims though so 512 lot owners need not apply. Still, very cute and you just never know when it might come in handy.

The Rebel's Playground - Take 2
In the tough girl category, find this complete set from Bubblez Design. Hat and hair come with the outfit; open road the theme with accessories made of tires. If you love rips and tatters, this one is for you.
Mulholland, the location of my photo shoot.
This medicine kit might come in handy also. Nicely detailed, it is the prize from bitter vanilla.
Be sure and check the website for the few hints available. Without some of those I would never have found things. There were places where I simply gave up even though a prize was supposed to be out *wink*. So you might find even more great things.
See the previous post for info on skin and eyes.
Part three coming up soon.

The Rebel's Playground
I of course just read that "hasn't started" info at the top of a four day old post, AFTER finishing the hunt - LOL. Aside from the MIAs, there are many boxes to unpack before getting your next stop, several that had no next stop LM at all, way too many decoys for my taste, a LM that gave you no store name so you had to hunt through a large mall for a sign, one prize so far away from the landing point it could have easily been in another sim -- you get the idea. This is indeed a warmup for Twisted coming to you in September.
On the plus side, and there is one -- lots of cute shops to peruse; ones we don't see that often on the hunt tour. There are some nice prizes, not really "me" prizes but certainly ones of broad enough interest to post about -- and a little camaraderie on the hunt trail. I met another old time hunter, very close to my age, and we reminisced a bit on how things were as we painstakingly looked for large or very tiny tricycles. That was good as we are often isolated hunters these days with all the Do Not rules.
Ambrosia which includes the collar. All parts have resize scripts. I am wearing a :::Shiva::: paint skin; one tone as the prize. Real Black Eyes hale from ROZENA; these are great for photographs. My mouth is stuffed full of diamonds courtesy of :::Regalo:::TATTOO. Punky black hair with built in kitty ears (also in hair texture) are from *.amato.*.
More later. This very tired hunter is heading back to bed.

In the Sun
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, new releases, props on Friday, July 27, 2012
One of my personal favorite animations and perfect for getting that tan, is this one reading a magazine.
And of course you need some lotion. These are extremely prim thrifty props and the beach bag disappears when not in use. OR, if you want to keep the bag out, there is a version that you can rez.
give those towels a try. The same poses are in both towels by the way and there are different color versions to choose from. Some poses are meant for the guys, so they can tan too!
My extremely cute and perfect fitting (so happy) bikini is from SLC. There are lots of colors and styles to choose from. Find them along with some cute dresses out for Sixty Linden Weekend. The sizing seems to run true to the standard. I am wearing a small which fits perfectly. It seems like, since this is a two piece that fitting might be easier for hippy or busty gals. You could wear different sizes for different areas *wink*.
My new back tattoo is from Rams Tattoo, free at Things for Women.

Summer Garden Party. You can find some fantastic prizes like this cute (partially mesh) Summer Nights Chiminea fireplace from Roawenwood. Find a listing of the shops with SLURLs here.
I spent much of yesterday designing a fortune-teller's tent for a hunt starting in September. It was great to be building again. I found some surprising things in my way too stuffed textures folder. I of course wanted to be comfortable while working and so I donned this cute Rompers Olga from Chloe, available for a linden at Things for Woman. This is just one of many gifts and dollarbies available at the new venue. Just look for the lipsticks (not all of them were active when I visited the other day) and pick up some very nice items. This romper does run big so petite gals will most likely have issues. I am wearing the XXS which is two or more sizes lower than my norm.
See this post.

A Fantasy Future
Posted by Chic Aeon in hair, hunts, new releases on Thursday, July 26, 2012
This styling gave me a chance to show off my new hair from Tekeli-li. Chatbox scripted, the color combos are endless. Hathor is the style.
Makeup and Tattoo Hunt a couple of days ago. It is fun and works well with a huge variety of prizes, some which are bound to be YOU. One of my favorites is this full body Demonology tattoo from Wicked Tattoos. A variety of darkness choices and ways to wear are included. Don't forget to check the lucky chairs while you are there; I won on a wildcard.
My dramatic eye makeup is from Zibska on the same M and T hunt. A huge pack of vibrant colors are in the pack.

Wednesday Morn
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, hair, new releases on Wednesday, July 25, 2012
The Alice Project and comes with a very nice color change hud which I really appreciate as it helps keep that ever-growing inventory in check.
It's easy to overlook things when your inventory is large and your day filled. The Labs don't help our cause with missed deliveries and the like. I found this really cute dress, one of several colors, in the archives of a blogging group. I am so glad that activity is part of my personal ToDo list. This is the *BeReckless* Mesh Dress with Ruffled Skirt. As luck would have it, the main store's sim was down for server deploy as I typed this so I ventured over to Jersey Shore which was busting with the Grenade Free Wednesday crowd. And know what? This dress and two other colors are on the Wednesday deal! Now THAT'S timing -- even if unplanned. I am wearing a small and it fits perfectly with my slightly larger breast shape. (OK, I admit I gave up and made one!)
My very pretty choker has been sitting in my inventory for awhile waiting for a blogging partner *wink*. It is a mix of delicate roses and fine beads on sculpted ribbons. Find Seduction of Summer at Just You Jewels.

Pirate Hunt 2
NMD. A skully tank comes with the prize and there is a version sized for gals.
My backdrop is a full prop set weighing in at about 200 prims from Madpea.
My hair is a new Hair Fair release from Amacci for gals *wink*. See yesterday's post for details.

If you follow this blog, you know that lassitude & ennui's Wanderlust boots have been my go-to boots since their arrival on the scene. Now, for those of you who love girlie, there are Nostalgia Boots.
Joy of Steampunk Museum in the background. Photo ops abound!
Many of you recognize my Matusalen coat from Lelutka. Almost two years old, it still takes a great photo. The pants came with the set which was a Halloween gift for guys if you were were fast enough to get it *wink*. Ah the adventures. Nostalgia.
Amacci at Hair Fair. I showed it to you before, but here you can see it as part of a styling. Definitely a great short hair with a completely believable look.

Going Punk
This is Bouncer, one of the new releases for Hair Fair from Discord Designs. It sits on a shaved head base called Ripley. This is not my personal look, but it might be yours -- and if so, Bouncer is impressive. Tiny little hairs stand straight up (lots of product used undoubtedly) and shimmer. This is not a good girl.
Hope for Emilia.
main shop to pick up my outfit of two hunt items. The shirt, collar and jeans are part of the set from the Punk My World Hunt (dollarbie) and the tattoo is from the Tattoo and Makeup Hunt. While you are there searching for these items, you have the option of looking for skulls in a store hunt. It should be noted that I am wearing the male jeans in this Punked set; the ones for gals are even lower!
Wonder has new hair too, a reward of sorts for logging in when I need him for couple shots *wink*. It is Lotta, also from Discord Designs.

Surprising Summer
There are plenty of great things to look forward to next month including the Vintage Fair which definitely looks like a winner. There are some good looking hunts coming up soon too.
And speaking of hunts ---- it's been under wraps unless you are a super sleuth and perused my profile, but I have organized a hunt coming up mid August. No, we don't need yet another hunt. I agree on that. But we can always use a stellar one. I got some of my favorite shops together for a small but fairly elite event, the If I Were Rich Hunt. I am VERY happy with the store list. This is definitely a hunt I would go on *wink*.
I asked myself what MY perfect hunt would be, as a hunter, blogger and retailer. Happily some folks were on the same wavelength and voila! This will be a web-based hunt with SLURLs on the blog. No numbers, no groups, no huds; you will always be able to go to the next stop at your convenience. You can pick up a list of LM once the hunt begins. The prizes will be priced from $0 to $5 (merchant's choice) and NO visible decoys (I so hate those).
On a personal note, I was proud of myself for not succumbing to that "we must have fifty stops" mentality. Less is more in my book.
I will keep you apprised of course as the time draws near.

Sunday Stroll
First, we find a pose. This one new from STATUS shows off my League Wanderer bracelets, part of an extensive set with so many versions (including necklaces) it makes your mind spin.
Then we adjust the lighting, Windlighting that is.
Fiddling with facelights, derendering ugly objects, setting camera distance all come into play. THEN, snap. And we journey on our way.
My hair is Mary Updo from MONS.

Out of My Element
Posted by Chic Aeon in hunts on Saturday, July 21, 2012
This was a fun adventure in its own way and a popular weekend activity for the ladies judging by the number of hunters that I spied. A couple of caveats here; this is a four day hunt put on by the Femdom Network. That translates into bondage and all that jazz for you not up on things. It is hence an ADULT hunt. You need not be age verified to participate though. "Payment Info On File" and above status will gain entrance to the five locations.
This is not an easy hunt. The prize vendors are sometimes FAR from the landing points, sometimes in places you might think were not even part of the hunt area. So read the clues and go from there. Most destinations were empty in the early morning. One however offered guys in very scanty attire. I was happy to be surrounded by so many obvious hunters (I don't figure that jeans and tees are typical Femdom attire) and simply went on my search. I found all but one.
Go forth. Have fun. Take a friend for support *wink*. The corsets are very nice!

In Search of Ourselves
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, hair, new releases on Friday, July 20, 2012
Attired in a mix of new and old I had a vision in my head, where I wanted to go. A slightly seedy Mexican cantina on the beach. Sand floors, not terribly cold beer. Warm breezes, the laughter and conversation of voices in languages other than my own.
Memories are powerful things. They can remind us of where we have been and hint as to where we might be going. Is the bar I seek still there? Is there a counterpart in our virtual world? Perhaps, but tonight was not the night to find it. I came close, but it is a bit too pretty here. No street vendors; no garbage.
My hair is Discord Designs Ohna, my Hair Fair prize choice. In truth I was given an enormously generous prize, but since I have received an abundance of review copies of late, it seemed a bit wrong somehow to ask for the whole store. This style, though, I fell in love with. It is mesh and moves naturally with the body. It also is made for gals with less than huge breast so it doesn't stick out a foot in front of flat chested me *wink*. All this works. I feel quite beautiful in the warm night air on the edge of an almost too perfect fishing village.
MONS, the Summer Love Collection Summer Leggings. Both comfortable and stylish, they make a quiet statement, even in red. I added some old and no longer available tanks and the current freebie sandals from sf design. If you didn't get them the first time I told you about them, better get over there before they disappear.

I told you that there were some gifts over at Sway's Festival. This pins bag from Cafe GG is one. Flags, pins and bright pink handcuffs adorn this quirky carryall. I put together a casual look as accompaniment. A new mini from Paradisis, the Sweet Spring dress became a top when I swiftly tucked it into some Paradisis jeans. I added my Gos Desire Ankle boots, something most of us MUST have after that hunt and I was set.
Pomme D Amour has that "well I made it up but not sure how far I'll get without my coffee and cigarette" look, perfect for this morning's photo shoot.
And with that thought the typist is heading for a nap in the tub followed by some coffee. Now if there were only fresh baked muffins to go with. Ah well.

Reality Check
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, hair, new releases, places on Thursday, July 19, 2012
How real is our virtual world? I am sure the philosophers could spend weeks or years discussing that topic. But virtual has taken a step closer to "reality" with the advent of mesh. It took us awhile; the first mesh items weren't all that awe inspiring. Still, I had faith we would get there.
This is a new release mini from erratic called lindsay. It spans the gap between high fashion and casual. And yes, you can have both; lindsay proves that.
So you know the drill. Try on the demo and keep your fingers crossed that you are a match made in heaven!
My location for this shoot was Bryn Oh's newest installation, Virginia Alone.
My hair, perfect for this outfit, is a Hair Fair gift that I somehow forgot to show you (oh my!). Find it at Leverocci. Tons of colors are included.

Fur Buddy Boutique has created a range of orthopedic dog beds which are essential for aging dogs, offering the same high quality support and weight distribution loved by so many humans.
Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/02/2014 -- Dogs are an astonishingly varied species and this is in large part thanks to the diverse taste of human owners and breeders, who love a huge variety of different traits in looks, behaviors and temperaments. Unfortunately a huge number of breeds are also genetically susceptible to certain conditions, including arthritis, osteoporosis and other conditions that can cause discomfort as they age. FurBuddyBoutique.com specializes in dog furniture, and has created orthopedic dog beds to offer the maximum in comfort for a family's best friend.
The orthopedic dog bed range includes memory foam mattresses and easy-in dog beds for older dogs that come in a wide range of styles and colors (click here to see the range). Affordably priced, they represent the ultimate in comfort for dogs in repose. The beds can even be customized with bespoke fabrics at no extra cost.
The products are all available direct from the online store and are represented with high quality imagery, detailed product descriptions, clear pricing and easy and secure online payment options. The company offer a lowest price guarantee, fast shipping, and 100% quality assurance.
A spokesperson for Fur Buddy Boutique explained, "We are committed to providing the very best products to our customers and more importantly, to their pets, who we firmly believe deserve the best. Our own dogs are treated to these products and act as our testers, and we can say from experience that a memory foam mattress can transform the quality of rest a dog receives and enable the dog to stay more active for longer during its waking hours. It's the easiest way to improve quality of life by a significant amount, while the investment is insignificant next to the comfort of your beloved dog."

2012 U.S. corn crop at 10.478 billion bu.; avg. yield 120.25 bu. per acre
+/- 1% = 10.374 billion bu. to 10.583 billion bu.; 119.05 bu. to 121.45 bu. per acre
2012 U.S. soybean crop at 2.60 billion bu.; avg. yield of 34.8 bu. per acre
+/- 2% = 2.548 billion bu. to 2.652 billion bu.; 34.1 bu. to 35.5 bu. per acre
NOTE: Pro Farmer made some adjustments to the acreage assumptions. Based on FSA certified acreage data they anticipate increases in planted acreage for both corn and soybeans. However, they are anticipating a harvested acreage percentage of 89.5% for corn and a slight downward adjustment in the harvested acreage percentage for soybeans.
Ohio: 124 bu. per acre. The Midwest drought started in northwest Ohio. South and east of there extreme moisture and heat stress will guarantee below-average corn yields.
Indiana: 101 bu. per acre. Eastern Indiana showed extreme drought stress. A lack of ears and grain length pulled yields down.
Illinois: 116 bu. per acre. The eastern half of Illinois was the epicenter of this summer's drought — and it was proven by this year's Tour. Corn yields were better in some western and northern areas of the state, but standability is a major issue.
Iowa: 139 bu. per acre. Corn yields in the western one-third of the state were down 11% from last year, but the real problem is in the eastern two thirds of the state. Iowa's early start to the growing season turned into a mid-season nightmare for corn trying to pollinate and fill kernels.
Minnesota: 152 bu. per acre. Crop District 7 is the problem in Minnesota as is the western half of Crop District 8. Corn yield and plant health improved dramatically in the eastern half of the state where yield potential is very good.
Nebraska: 138 bu. per acre. Kernel size is the villain in Nebraska, and that is what makes the husker state a swing state on corn yields. Even irrigated yields were off about 10% from year-ago, while dryland corn yields will be determined by kernel size.
South Dakota: 85 bu. per acre. We hit South Dakota hard on harvested acres and yield. This was absolutely the worst corn crop we've sampled since 1998 when the Crop Tour started in the western Belt.
Ohio: 40 bu. per acre. In addition to low pod counts, heavy weed pressure in some of the state may hold down yields even more than indicated on the Tour.
Indiana: 36 bu. per acre. This is where we started to see the trend of pods not forming on the lower half of plants. The lack of production factory hurts yield potential.
Illinois: 36 bu. per acre. The crop must work to hold onto what yield potential is there, as the crop is done blooming. Extremely dry soils could lead to pod abortion and further reduction in yields.
Iowa: 41 bu. per acre. Iowa's soybeans are the "least bad" of a disappointing western Corn Belt bean crop. A lack of soil moisture at Tour time nearly guarantees a smaller-than-normal bean size will weigh on average yields.
Minnesota: 36.5 bu. per acre. Crop Tour pod counts were even worse than expected. The growing season for northern Corn Belt beans seems to have put stress on yield potential from planting through Tour time.
Nebraska: 42 bu. per acre. Even in a drought year, Nebraska's ability to give beans a drink when they need it will keep the state at the top of the nation's soybean yields.
South Dakota: 28 bu. per acre. Soybeans haven't earned a spot under pivots in South Dakota yet. As a result, we see serious sub-30 yield potential for beans.
General Observation: The bean crop from Ohio to Nebraska needs a drink right now to realize these yield estimates.

Sermon delivered December 10, 2006.
A little girl was reciting scripture in front of the entire church. The great crowd made her nervous and her mind went blank. In the front row, her mother was almost as nervous as her daughter. The mother gestured, moving her lips, trying to form the words to help the girl but it did no good. Finally, in desperation, the mother whispered the opening phrase of the memorized Scripture passage: "I am the light of the world." Immediately, the child's face lit up and relaxed and a smile appeared on her face as she began with supreme confidence: "My mother is light of the world!"
The words the girl was trying to remember were Jesus' words in the Gospel of John: "I am the Light of the world" (John 8:12). Jesus is the light of the world. When we are baptized into Christ, we become adopted sons of God and therefore children of the Light. In today's epistle reading St. Paul tells us to walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8-19). Note that St. Paul offers an exhortation; a directive on how we ought to live as adopted sons of God. Note too his implication that baptism is no guarantee that we will live out our adoption in a way pleasing to God.
Baptism sets on the right road. And while God created that road and guides us along it, we won't reach the place where it leads unless we walk it. Look at it this way: we are all citizens of the United States but our citizenship still requires us to be law abiding and patriotic. Merely calling ourselves American does not make us a good Americans. In the same way, merely calling ourselves baptized Orthodox Christians does not guarantee our lives are pleasing to God.
How do we walk as children of the Light in the way that St. Paul exhorts us? He provides some instruction in the verses immediately following.
- Discover what is pleasing to the Lord (v.10).
The Christian life requires both intellectual and physical effort. To get a degree we have to read books. To get in shape we have to get to the gym and start running, jogging, and lifting. We must exert ourselves till we feel a little pain, work up a sweat and breathe hard. We need to feel a little tired afterwards. Similarly, in order for our spirit and soul to be in sound condition, we must strive to do good, to do justice, to be honest and true (v.9).
- Do not take part in unfruitful works of darkness (v.11).
We must avoid sin. Avoiding sin requires effort and action laced with purpose. We live in an imperfect and fallen world. Temptation and sin are all around us. Satan is constantly trying to trip us up. How do we know and identify sin in our life? A good rule of thumb is that anything we would want to hide from someone else is probably sinful. Ask yourself: would I be ashamed and feel guilty if someone else saw what I was doing? Actions that are good, right, and true are those that we would not be ashamed to show other people. For many of us, avoiding sin means avoiding arguments, gossip, and lying. It also means avoiding stealing and lustful actions.
- Expose the unfruitful works of darkness (v.11).
Christians are called to bring light into the darkness. This begins with ourselves particularly through the confession of sins. Once a sin is committed it should not remain hidden. The sad reality is that most Orthodox Christians do not actively partake of the Sacrament of Holy Confession. We continue to hide our sins and carry the heavy burden of guilt and shame which makes it more difficult for us to be good, righteous, and honest.
When we confess our sins, we allow the light of Christ to penetrate our heart, mind, and soul. It's like turning on the light in a squalid apartment and watching the mice and cockroaches flee. Once the light of Christ shines in our hearts, the demons flee and we can begin to clean up the filth that they have left behind or the filth that attracted them in the first place. The scriptures and the Church Fathers say that once sin has been exposed to the light of Christ, it becomes light in the sense that we see it in a way that can help others to avoid making the same mistakes we did.
To walk the Christian road we must obey the commandments of the Lord. This means that we must stay clear of sin and temptation, and when we do sin to confess it. If our eyes our set on Christ, then we will naturally fulfill St. Paul's other directives further on in the passage including "... be careful how we live" (v.15), and to "... make the most of the time" (v.16).
This new life is possible only through the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit given to us at baptism when God set us on the road that leads to Him. The Holy Spirit gives us life. It is nothing less than God's life given to us including the power not to sin but to walk in ways pleasing to Him.
"Do not get drunk with wine ... but be filled with the Spirit" St. Paul concludes (v.19). Drink the water of the Spirit and bathe in the light of Christ so that we may become sober and clean and fulfill our divine calling to be children of the Light. Amen.
Fr. Richard Demetrius Andrews is the pastor of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fr. Andrews is the past president of Minnesota Eastern Orthodox Christian Clergy Association (MEOCCA), and a volunteer chaplain with the St. Paul Police Department.

Let B(x) be infinitely differentiable with respect to x. Drop the use of parentheses on B to delimit the argument x and use them instead to hold the order of the derivative with respect to x. i.e. $B(0) = B$ $B(1) = dB/dx$, etc.
Let parentheses on x hold the order of the derivative of x with respect to t.
So $$ \eqalign{ & x_1 = B(x) = B \cr & x_2 = BB_1 \cr & x_3 = BB_1^2 + B^2 B_2 \cr} $$
Is there a "nice" formula for the integer coefficient of an arbitrary monomial $B(0)^u(0) * B(1)^u(1) * ... * B(n-1)^u(n-1)$ in $x(n)$?
The first few terms are:
$x(1) = B$,
$x(2) = B*B(1)$,
$x(3) = B*B(1)^2 + B^2*B(2)$,
$x(4) = B*B(1)^3 + 4*B^2*B(1)*B(2) + B^3*B(3)$
One of my (many) approaches involved defining A = 1/B so that A(x)dx/dt = 1. Then integrating and solving with the Lagrange Inversion Formula yields
x(n) = sum over all sequences S=(s(2),s(3),...) of nonnegative integers such that $\sum (i-1)*s(i)$ equals $n-1$ of
$$(-1)^{T(S)} * (T(S)+n-1)!A^{(-n-T(S))}* \prod_{i=2}^n (1/s(i)!)*((1/i!)*d^{(i-1)}A/dx^{(i-1)})^{s(i)} $$
where $T(S) = \sum_{i=2}^n i*s(i)$.
I know I can simply make the upper limits in these products be infinity, because all but finitely many of the terms in the products are 1, because all but finitely many of the s(i) in any sequence S are zero.
But, for future computational purposes, I want to drag around the finite limits to remind myself when it comes time to implement on a computer.
So then I tried substituting the Faa da Bruno formula for A(n) = d^A/dx^n = sum of (-1)^k * k! * B^(-1-k) * sum over all sequences V=(v(1),v(2),...) of the product of (B(i)/i!)^v(i) /v(i)! into the equation above and expanding and collecting all similar monomials in the Bs.
But, I cannot visualize a simple formula for the way all the terms combine.
So now I tried computing the terms of this sequence directly.
Homogeneity immediately tells you that any monomial product B(i)^u(i) from i equal 0 to n-1 appearing with nonzero coefficient in x(n) satisfies u(0) = 1 + sum of (i-1)*u(i) from i=2 to n-1 and u(1) = n-1 - sum of i*u(i) from i=2 to n. I solved for u(0) and u(1) in terms of the "slack"(?) variables u(2),...,u(n-1) because the terms whose coefficients I CAN compute are most easily expressed in this form.
So, all I've got so far is
x(n) = B*B(1)^(n-1) + (2^(n-1) - n)B^2(B(1))^(n-3)*B(2) +
(1/4)(3^n - 3 - 2^(n+1)(n-1) + 2(n-1)^2)B^3(B(1))^(n-5)*(B(2))^2
- (1/4)*(3^(n-1) - 2^(n+1) + 2*n+1)B^3(B(1))^(n-4)*B(3) +...? +
- ((n^2-3*n+4)/2) * B^(n-2)*B(1)*B(n-2) + B^(n-1)*B(n-1)
I could keep going, deriving longer and longer formulae for more of the terms, and then HOPE that I can guess the general pattern for all of them.
B(i)^u(i) means B(i) raised to the u(i)-th power

Every Father's Day, I remember one distinct childhood memory that has guided me for the rest of my life.
I was complaining about something trivial. My mom, stopping me, asked me one of the most memorable questions I have ever been asked. "Think about your dad," she said. "Have you ever heard him complain about anything?"
I was stunned. I could not call to mind a single time. My dad was a self-proclaimed optimist, often wearing a hat with the phrase "half-full." His wisdom has stayed with me for years.
We tend to complain a lot about politics. There is an incredible amount of pessimism that persists in every discussion. We perceive Congress and our government to be a constant source of pointless bickering, trickery, and sycophancy. To a point, we may be right. Sometimes, however, I think those in public service deserve more credit.
At present, we are in the midst of a dismal period of our faith in government. Americans are expressing less confidence in Congress than ever before, Gallup reports.
The problem with these sentiments is that they form an easy justification for political disinterest. After all, why bother getting involved in changing our political systems if they are inherently corrupt? When we accept this tempting mindset, we only succeed in fulfilling our fears.
Take, for example, the common statement, "politicians only care about reelection." At first glance, it seems to imply a selfish arrogance, a vain pursuit for glory rather than the common good. While this may be true for some elected officials, it also follows that the most powerful weapon to influence their beliefs becomes us, as constituents.
My friends who work on the Hill tell me stories of how congressmen are swayed by their constituents. Every phone call is answered, every letter is opened. Why? Because, above all, politicians need to get reelected, and that means they need to accurately represent the members of their districts.
In order to hold them to this duty, it is our responsibility, as voters, to stay informed. If we do not bother to keep up with current events, inform our representatives of our beliefs, or vote them out when they do not keep their promises, how can we criticize them for not accurately representing us? Perhaps we do not give enough credit to the men and women who work long hours in a comparatively low-paying occupation to stand up for their principles and those of their constituents.
However, this does not imply we should rely on our government to be the solution of all problems. Many government programs, built upon a foundation of good intentions, have resulted in worsening the conditions they set out to remedy. We can maintain a healthy skepticism of government programs without giving in completely to distrust and apathy.
Former Rep. Chet Edwards (D-TX) served in the House of Representatives for 20 years. Even today, he has not lost his hope. When asked whether Americans should still be optimistic about politics, he responds,
"There are a lot of challenges in our democracy today, but the best proof that not all is wrong is that our immigration problem isn't that millions of Americans are trying to leave our country for good. It's that millions of people from throughout the world would do almost anything, including risking their lives, in order to come to our country to appreciate our freedoms and opportunities."
My father always told me the glass is "half-full." Instead of despair and loud complaining to fire Congress, let's work toward appreciating the men and women in public service while still holding them accountable by staying involved.

I am more experienced with SQL Server and Sybase than Oracle, and understand those products well. I've been asked to look for ways to reduce the server estate running Oracle. I understand that an instance in Oracle maps to a database hosting many tablespaces. I have a fairly good grasp of the fundamentals, however if I wanted to consolidate SERVER1,..,SERVER4 running Oracle database into one server what would be the best way to do it physically? I am considering Virtual as well using a DBaaS (Database as a Service) model, but am curious if it can/should be done physically.
Is it possible to have four separate instances point to four separate databases on one machine? Or would I have to merge the four databases into one database on the consolidated server and manage the schemas to ensure there are no name conflicts? If I did that would I have one instance or four?
I have read the documentation but I'm still not 100% sure about this area.

The ITC Avant Garde Gothic® design was one of the first typeface families released by ITC – and continues to be one of its most popular. The basis for the typeface was created in the late 1960s for a new magazine conceived by the forward-thinking publisher and editor, Ralph Ginzburg. The publication was called, fittingly, Avant Garde. Herb Lubalin created the logo and Tom Carnase drew the alphabet based on Lubalin's sketches.
OpenType® technology makes a complete version of ITC Avant Garde Gothic possible, offering the full breadth of Lubalin and Carnase's design. ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro includes all the original characters plus a suite of additional cap and lowercase alternates, new ligatures and a collection of biform characters (lowercase letters with cap proportions). The original design contained a suite of 33 alternate characters and logotypes; ITC Avant Garde Gothic Pro more than doubles this number.
ITC Avant Garde Gothic is classified as a geometric sans serif design, meaning that its basic shapes appear to be constructed from circles and straight lines. The design's heritage has sometimes been traced to the geometric sans serifs produced by Bauhaus designers in the mid-1920s. However, the design has its foundation in the first sans serif ever produced – a cap-only face issued by the Caslon Type Foundry in 1816.
Lubalin's logo for Avant Garde was an exciting construction of overlapping and tightly set geometric capitals. After developing the groundbreaking logo, Lubalin turned his rough sketch over to lettering artist and type designer Tom Carnase, his partner at Lubalin Smith Carnase. Carnase rendered the final art and designed additional characters and ligatures to set the headline for each department of the magazine. Soon there were nearly enough characters to complete an entire alphabet – and the Avant Garde Gothic design was born. This was later licensed to ITC.
The ITC Avant Garde Gothic family is made up of five weights and four condensed designs, all with corresponding italics (obliques). The condensed designs were drawn by Ed Benguiat in 1974, and obliques were designed by André Gürtler, Erich Gschwind and Christian Mengelt in 1977.
ITC Avant Garde Gothic design has become a solid staple in the repertoire of today's graphic designer. The lowercase x-height and open counters help to make this family ideal for display copy and short blocks of text content. The ITC Avant Garde Gothic design is used in the corporate logo of Adidas and is one of the main typefaces in Sony's corporate marketing programs.

text: Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted January 20, 2000 A friend of mine came across two individually boxed bottles of Medicinal Spirits. These were made by the American Distillery Products company in Kentucky, and apparently bottled during the Prohibition, despite that they are dated 1917, and according to the label contain 100 proof 15 year old bourbon. If you can offer any information about these items, such as the current state of "American Distillery Products," or the value of such odd items, I would be most appreciative.Also, although the tax stamp (?) is intact, there appears to have been some evaporation.

What you're looking at here is a screenshot from one of the fifty so-called "Spatio-Temporal Exploratory Model" or "STEM" Maps published over on ebird.org — some of the most advanced models of birds' migratory patterns ever released.
Created in a collaboration between the Cornell lab of Ornithology, Cornell's Institute of Computational Sustainability, and the Nation Audobon Society, these STEM maps depict the day-by-day predictions of species distribution in a year-round animation, allowing researchers to make predictions about unsurveyed areas of the U.S. at specific times throughout the year (click here to see the map in action.)
The screenshot up top is taken from the animation for the Swainson's Hawk, the most migratory hawk in North America. According to the map's creators, these animations often reveals new information about birds' annual migratory cycles.
Take the Swainson's Hawk, for example. See the bright strip of activity in the Central Valley of California? There has been a dramatic influx of hawks in this area in recent years in what scientists hypothesize is a direct result of California's booming agricultural industry. When you watch the animation, it becomes clear that the hawks arrive in California more than a month earlier than those arriving further East, on the Great Plains.

REC TwinPeak REC355TP2S 72 355 Watt Solar Module Review
TwinPeak 2S 72 Technology
REC TwinPeak 2S 72 Series solar modules use unique and innovative technologies, and a ground-breaking layout, to give you a high efficiency and high power output product. Based on 120 laser cut polysilicon cells, the REC TwinPeak 2 Series includes four different technologies which together, result in an extra power output of over 12 Watts per module.
· Half-cut cells: +5 watts
Laser cut polycrystalline cells reduce internal resistance for higher power output, higher efficiency and increased reliability.
· Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC): +4 watts
New generation of cell technology captures more wavelengths of light through mirror-like architecture for higher efficiency.
· 4 Bus Bar: +2 watts
A shorter distance for electrons to travel vastly improves the current flow, reducing resistance in the cell and increasing efficiency.
· Split Junction Box: +1 watt
The three three cell technologies combine in the innovative junction boxes for a higher energy yield, while reducing heat and increasing reliability.
= 12 watts more power per (square meter)
PERC Technology
Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC) technology increases solar cell efficiency through the dielectric layer that reflects back into the cell any light that has passed through to the rear without generating electrons. Through this reflection, the photons are essentially given a second chance to generate current, making more power.

Netflix in 2014: Sinking ship or highflier?January 2, 2014: 1:27 PM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
Netflix was the King of the World in 2013 ... although you're out of luck if you want to watch the movie that made that line famous on Netflix in 2014.
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) surged nearly 300% last year, making the stock the "Top Gun" (another movie you no longer can stream on Netflix) in the S&P 500.
So what will Netflix do for an encore in 2014? Will it continue to soar like Tom Cruise's Maverick? Or is the stock another Titanic in the making?
It seems highly unlikely that Netflix will repeat its epic 2013 run this year. If it did, Netflix's market value would balloon from its current level of about $21.5 billion to around $86 billion.
To put that in perspective, Netflix would be worth more than established Hollywood titans such as Viacom (VIAB), Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA) and CNNMoney parent company Time Warner (TWX).
That would definitely put Netflix's valuation, which is already extremely high, firmly in the Danger Zone. It would Take My Breath Away. (Does "Top Gun" have the greatest movie soundtrack ever ... or cheesiest?)
Related: 5 reasons why stocks will go up in 2014
At $86 billion, Netflix would be worth 16.5 times the company's estimated 2014 revenue of $5.2 billion. And it would value Netflix at nearly 380 times projected 2014 earnings per share. That's ridiculous.
Not even Amazon (AMZN), the other online giant with valuations that cause altitude sickness, is trading at multiples that high.
Even Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has started to caution investors about the stock's price.
Related: Hastings gets 50% pay hike for 2014
Now of course, my calculations assume that estimates for Netflix's earnings don't change. And that's highly unlikely as well.
Consider this. At the end of 2012, analysts were expecting Netflix to earn 42 cents a share during 2013, according to FactSet Research. Wall Street is now forecasting a profit of $1.80 a share.
Analysts also had a 2014 earnings per share estimate of just $1.36 a share at the close of 2012. They now expect Netflix to report earnings of $3.89 a share.
If Netflix hits that $3.89 target, it would be an earnings increase of 116% from what analysts are forecasting for 2013.
Fundamentals move stocks over the long haul. So the dramatic move in Netflix's shares last year shouldn't be all that surprising when you look at how well the company did and the fact that analysts had to keep raising their estimates to keep up with the company's performance.
So just because Netflix went up by 300% last year does not mean it is doomed to plunge this year. Yes, Netflix may be overvalued. But it hasn't gotten to this point just on hope and hype.
Netflix has proven the skeptics (which occasionally included me) wrong. Its business model works. This isn't a Missouri show-me stock like Twitter (TWTR) -- which has soared since last year's initial public offering despite a lack of profits.
Netflix's sales and earnings are growing because it had more than 38 million streaming customers paying monthly subscription fees worldwide as of the end of the third quarter of 2013. That's up 25% from 30.6 million at the start of last year.
Related: Netflix finds plenty of binge watching ... but little guilt among users
So all the fears that people would sign up to binge watch shows like Netflix originals "House of Cards," "Orange is the New Black" and "Arrested Development" -- as well as cable hits like "Breaking Bad" -- and then cancel their subscriptions have proven to be for naught.
People really like Netflix. They stick with it. And that makes sense. The value proposition is great. You don't need to be a math genius to calculate that $7.99 a month for unlimited streaming is a LOT cheaper than the cost of the most bare-bones basic cable or satellite TV plans.
Again, I am not predicting that Netflix will have another year like 2013. It's probably not going to be one of the hottest stocks for a second year in a row. But could it keep climbing? Definitely. Would it be a huge shock if shares went up another 15% to 20%? That too seems reasonable when you look past this year.
While most of us are still just getting used to the fact that the calendar now reads 2014, it won't be long before investors start to look ahead to what Netflix may do in 2015.
Related: 2013 was one for the record books on Wall Street
And so far, Wall Street is predicting another banner year. Analysts expect sales to rise more than 16% from 2014 and that earnings per share will soar nearly 80%.
But here's the thing. Analysts are still largely bearish on the stock. The consensus price target for Netflix is $338.56, according to FactSet. That is nearly 10% below the current price.
There's an obvious disconnect here. Wall Street thinks the stock is going to fall but also believes that earnings will continue to surge. One of those assumptions is probably incorrect.
My guess is that analysts are wrong about their price targets. If Netflix keeps posting strong gains in subscribers, sales and earnings, the stock should go up ... just not by another 300%.
