How Are You Doing… Really?
Things are busy on campus, and with many of us wearing multiple hats at school (teaching, coaching, counseling, bus driving, etc.) and even more hats at home (sons, daughters, spouses, parents, and caretakers)— time is precious.
In spite of our stresses and responsibilities, when asked, "How are you doing?" we tend to respond, "Fine. You?" and carry on with life as quickly as possible.
But what if the question were posed differently? What if we began asking each other "How are you doing… really?" and paused to listen to some of the blessings each other have experienced recently as well as learn of some of each other's concerns?
In our driven culture, we have to guard against sacrificing relationships for efficiency and productivity. Whether with colleagues or students, it's important we take time to find out what's going on in each other's lives.
In Galatians 6:2, Paul says we fulfill the law of Christ when we "carry one another's burdens."
Today, if you catch yourself asking a colleague or student, "How are you doing?" add the word "really" to the end of your question. Then slow down and listen for 30 seconds.

Modern communication and radar signals increasingly utilize signals with high peak-to-average power ratios to achieve spectral efficiency. Three power amplifier architectures have been developed to efficiently amplify such signals one of which is outphasing. At high frequencies, such as X-band, outphasing requires enhancement in the form of discrete supply modulation or rectification to achieve performance competitive with alternatives such as Doherty and envelope tracking. This thesis focuses on the development, theoretically and experimentally, of the outphasing power amplifier, including enhanced modes of operation.
A novel quasi-MMIC outphasing PA and measurement setup are developed to enable the direct measurement of power waves internal to the PA architecture, yielding internal PA performance and load modulation. Due to the flexibility of the PA prototype and measurement setup, both isolated and non-isolated combiners are utilized with and without discrete supply modulation. Insight into the dynamic operation of five outphasing variations is gained.
Two enhanced outphasing PAs are fully integrated on GaN MMICs. A power recycling LINC PA makes use of the duality between a high efficiency PA and rectifier to recover power wasted in the isolated combiner. A multi-level Chireix outphasing PA utilizes discrete supply modulation to minimize DC power consumption, thereby improving efficiency at back-off. Realistic testing with a GaN discrete supply modulator MMIC shows particular promise for the novel multi-level Chireix outphasing architecture.
Finally, the importance of the gain of power amplifiers internal to the outphasing architecture is substantiated in simulation and measurement. Highly efficient multi-stage power amplifiers are optimized through the development of harmonically terminated interstage matching networks.

Atomic Number: 101
Atomic Symbol: Md
Atomic Weight: (258)
Electron Configuration: -31-8-2
(Dmitri Mendeleev) Mendelevium, the ninth transuranium element of the actinide seried to be discovered, was first identified by Ghiorso, Harvey, Choppin, Thompson, and Seaborg early in 1955 as a result of the bombardment of the isotope 253Es with helium ions in the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotron. The isotope produced was 256Md, which has a half-life of 76 min. This first identification was notable in that 256Md was synthesized on a one-atom-at-a-time basis. Fourteen isotopes are now recognized. 258Md has a half-life of 2 months. This isotope has been produced by the bombardment of an isotope of einsteinium with ions of helium. It now appears possible that eventually enough 258Md can be made so that some of its physical properties can be determined. 256Md has been used to elucidate some of the chemical properties of mendelevium in aqueous solution. Experiments seem to show that the element possesses a moderately stable dipositive (II) oxidation state in addition to the tripositive (III) oxidation state, which is characteristic of the actinide elements.

How are you? Now i've done all brush drawings before and after going through this class. Inorder to keep my mind afloat and paying attention as i was drawing i created stories behind them. If you enjoy reading along with pleasent photos then I hope you enjoy them as much as i made my roommate watch me draw them (I didn't, tee hee) OH! before i forget the Project Cover photo was used with a brush pen and fancied up with instagram. I sometimes feel i'm cheating if use filters (although i can't recall if i did or not on this one b/c sometimes the lighting in my basement [where I draw] gives off the yellowish light when i take pictures.) Getting sidetracked.
This first one is one I did by using Yuko Shimizu are as a reference.
I call this master fullly-ish kinda decent try of a Illustration "Battle of My Lord"
Inwhich it is a magican friend of mine battling a deamon for my lordship. It was this defeating moment in their ferious battle that made me choose this man to be my lord. That boar-elephant-mouse thing is because i accidently splitted it. it was my bad. I'm very sorry for that. I referenced one of Yuko's drawings as on how to do the scales. The magician doesn't look as good since i drew him first and and wasn't thinking much into this drawing. I can still see i can improve on it but i figured it done and moved on to the next one. OH! before i forget the floating bunny wasn't suppose to be that big, he was normally on a cloud. Funny how things become.
Okay, there was some brush pens in this one but it's mostly all brush. I even brushed gold into. Since after the dragon one looked cool with the gold i kept on working with it. these drawings are still only a few hours apart. Magical i know. I've been working on some stuff. The original drawing of this idea was nothing like this. if you ever see it in person you can see my light pencil marks showing it. This drawing is suppose to represent how Death rules us all, while our hearts rule us. The World evolves around Death. This one is hard to explain.
Okay last one but don't laugh
If you can't tell, I love space. I enjoy drawing it the most. (check other drawings for references) So this is a Tortoise coming to visit the moon of a different planet that looks just like earth. so It's a copy of our earth and moon but somewhere else and this very advanced tortoise has come to pay a visit. I cut it out and glued it to this chipboard. I'm not sure how to frame it. eh I'll figure it. Well the next step is to get better and figure how to color my Illustrations. I have the programs but never really messed with them. ehehe cute huh?! So tell me about yourself? Do you have pets? I want to get a tortoise and name him Darth Lord.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed your stay.

In many ways, the race for Dane County executive is very similar to last summer's race in the Democratic primary for the 77th Assembly seat. Both contests were spurred by longtime incumbents suddenly stepping down, and both required candidates to immediately mobilize. Similarly, the result is a condensed group of left-leaning candidates. However, unlike the 77th race, few people (including yours truly) pretend to know who has the advantage in this campaign.
There are a number of factors to consider. The first is name recognition. Who's got it?
1. Joe Parisi. Even spring voters barely pay attention to who's running for county clerk, but the years Parisi spent in that position must account for something. Perhaps more importantly, his Assembly races have required him to contact thousands of voters.
2. Joe Wineke. It's been a while since Wineke was State Senator, but he may be the only name that many voters from his old district recognize. Moreover, among spring voters, who are more likely to be informed and active Democratic Party members, Wineke's stint as DPW chair (back in the good old days of '06 and '08) will be significant.
The other candidates are not as well known throughout the county. This does not necessarily make them underdogs. As I will explain, each of them have advantages that could help them overcome the lack of name recognition in the next month.
3. Scott McDonell. Being chair of the County Board has definitely helped McDonell get some name recognition that he wouldn't have as a simple supervisor from the isthmus, however, his position is largely unknown to those who don't follow county politics regularly. Furthermore, not only does McDonell's district only represent 1/37 of the county's population, but he hasn't even had to work to get votes in his district in over a decade, meaning he has to work extra-hard to contact people who should be firmly in his column. Luckily, he has the support of more than half of the county board, all of whom he has enlisted to make phone calls on his behalf.
4. Eileen Bruskewitz. The lone self-identified conservative in the race, the county supervisor from Waunakee also suffers a lack of name recognition. However, with the help of conservative/Republican allies in high places, including a newly emboldened contingent in state government, Bruskewitz could find an enormous amount of money, as well as enthusiastic volunteers and supporters, at her disposal. Her friends in the business/landlord community will likely pitch in as well.
5. Zach Brandon. Brandon is probably the least well-known of the candidates. His former aldermanic district is tiny in the context of Dane County, and his position in the Commerce Department gained him little in terms of publicity. However, it did gain him the support of Jim Doyle, who may be able to funnel donors and activists to Brandon's cause.

When individuals or companies choose to transport their goods from the manufacturing place, to the final point of distribution, they usually use transport corporations. The process of transportation is organized by a non-vessel operating common carrier, known as freight forwarder, which organizes shipments of goods. This type of forwarders do not move the goods by themselves, they act as experts in the logistics network and contract carriers to move the products. They can be booked for a wide range of shipping providers as railroads, ships, truck or airplanes. There are multiple benefits of using the services of a freight forwarder.
These agents have the ability of finding better freight quotes than consignees or shippers. This is possible due to the fact that they know which carriers that are week and which ones are stronger, and their market knowledge is greater than that of the consignees. These forwarders can learn quickly the latest changes in import and export regulation and rules. This is the result of making shipments regularly and because they obtain critical information about the current changes. They can provide multimodal transportation and can arrange door-to-door service. A single carrier cannot offer such complex transportation services. If the clients asks, the freight forwarder can offer not only distribution services, but also packing, storage and handling. When the client needs, he can offer custom break services.
The main advantage of using a freight forwarder is the decreased workload carriers get. Because they have things to do all the time, and are working with overcapacity, the carrier personnel hardly answers its client's calls. When a person wants to load a product with a carrier, he may find this process a hard one. They use to direct clients from a person to another and in this way, a phone conversation takes more than 15 minutes, before the client reaches to the right person, he should talk to. Carriers use freight forwarders as sales agents, to ease their work. These last ones are service providers, and are more customer friendly than carriers are. In fact, this is their key of success on the market. They have the role of solving the majority of carriers' problem, and help them dealing with shippers on a daily basis. The ones that are dealing with particular shipment are able to manage many of the shippers' problems in a way that should not reflect to the carriers. Their activity leads to a reduced carriers' workload. For both carriers and consignees, freight forwarders prove to be a safeguard expert. Working with them offers companies an easier way of organizing the necessary logistics and transport for moving the products from one country to another. Other role they have is to ensure the right paperwork. If the carrier does not provide the right paperwork, goods cannot be released from customs or if the carrier had already dispatched the goods to the customer, but he does not have the required paperwork, the bank refuses to release its funds. A freight forwarder is the best help a carrier, shipper or consignee can get.

Crusher used for coal and charcoal briquettes plant
There are two kinds of crusher, widely used coal and charcoal briquettes plant, but some of customers made mistake to buy the crusher, wast much money and time.
Hammer crusher, used for coal briquettes plant
Hammers are fixed on the shaft of center which are driven by the motor by v belt. The coal will be feed into the crusher from top and discharge from bottom. Coal will be crushed by the speed hammer and until discharge. This kinds of crusher only used for coal with less moisture content, such as 15%, and have no much request on the size of coal fines from crusher!
Usually, this hammer crusher are widely used assembled with the coal briquette press to crush the coal before feed into the mixer to mix with binders. The size of fines around 3-5mm, which is enough for coal briquette press, and production capacity is large, widely welcome by coal briquette plant.
Hammer blade crusher, used for charcoal briquettes plant
Hammer blade crusher, which is different with traditional hammer crusher, because of the key parts are not complete not hammer, looks like the blade, but works same with hammer, so named hammer blade crusher, which widely used charcoal briquettes grinding, wood chips grinding, biomass materials grinding.
The charcoal dust will be feed into the crusher from top, and the charcoal dust will be grinding in the cavity until upto the request size, such as less than 3mm, which will be controlled by the screen assembled at the bottom of cavity.
Most importantly, charcoal fine will be sucked out by draught fan assembled side of crusher, and collect into the cyclone discharge device, which ensure the charcoal fines can not block the crusher;
On the other hands, the dust will be collect by the bag filter to reduce the dust in the plant, which is welcomed by all the charcoal briquettes plant!
Pls contact us to get more information on the coal/charcoal briquettes plant information by Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Whether you're in a small town like me where Walmart is your only option, or you're a crazy couponer and love their awesome deals, Walmart is the place to shop.
Their prices make shopping at any other store a waste of time.
As money savvy momma's though we never pay sticker price, so here are some secrets to cut the price a little more.
Walmart Savings Catcher & App
Savings Catcher. Those two words are basically Dollar signs, and Walmart has made is so easy for you to use. There's no checking offers, or uploading pictures or your receipt. All you have to do is put the TC number on your receipt into the savings catcher.
They then look at all the stores around you for lower advertised prices. If they find one, you get that money back.
You can also use the app to make shopping lists. If you see something in the store you love but can't buy all you have to do is scan is on your app list for later! You can make lists private or allow others to see them. Which I love because I can allow my husband to see it.
The best part of the whole app is Walmart Pay. I can check out with my phone, use my savings catcher money, and it adds my purchases to my savings catcher without me doing anything! I don't even carry my card with me in store now because I don't need to. Plus, it saves your receipt on your account where you never have to worry about losing them again!
Walmart Price Match Policy
Walmart has moved away from price matching since they now have Savings Catcher, but they will price match their own website!
It's as easy as opening Walmarts app, Scanning, and showing the cashier. Many times they are cheaper online and every penny you keep in your pocket the better off you'll be.
Shopping Walmarts Clearance
Every Walmart is a bit different. I wish I could tell you they when they lowered clearance, but I can't. The best advice I can give you is, get to know the people working at your store. If you shop regularly either ask their routine or just watch and you will start to see a pattern.
- If you see a price ending in 0 or 1 it's a final markdown, so buy it if you need it.
- If you find an item ending in a 7, its marked at its full price.
- After 7 comes 5, which means this was the first time it was marked down. It should go down a time or two before its final price.
Best Time To Shop At Walmart
Late at night or early morning is always going to be best. Stocking is done on the overnight shift.
Unless you're a night owl or early bird, I wouldn't suggest skipping sleep to shop, but if it's nearing a holiday, it's worth it. You're less likely to have shoppers everywhere and checking out should be a lot easier.
Save Money On Gas
This is my Favorite! In our town, without a gift card, Murphy USA Gas stations are always cheaper, but a quick stop at Walmart saves us an extra 3 cents!
Right now you save 3 cents per gallon of gas just for using a Walmart gift card. Walmart gift cards are FREE to load, or you can buy them online and save even more!
$4 A month prescriptions at Walmart
This program is a godsend for some. They have a huge list of medications that are:
- $4 for a 30-day supply
- $10 for a 90-day supply
If you are a person with no insurance or a high deductible, this program can save you a lot of money! Go check out the list of $4 prescription here.
What's your favorite money-saving secret for shopping at Walmart? Comment below and let us know!

A Ray of Hope for Purchasers of Medical Records, or Why Pay Retail When You Can Pay Wholesale?
- 1 Comment
Like most practitioners of a specialty that requires the constant purchase and review of medical records, I had come to assume that I was lucky if the medical records company, or the hospital, charged me $.75 per page for the 500-page record I needed. That meant that someone had actually read the part of my request letter stating that they could not charge me more than $.75 per page, pursuant to New York's Public Health Law, Section 18(2)[e]. Too often, providers would charge much more, and I would have to write back, asking them to lower their price so that it was in line with the PHL.
I had always thought that $.75 per page was a lot to pay for something that probably costs no more than a few cents at the provider's end. And I have never been a fan of the so called "search fees" the providers like to charge, as they are arbitrary and unpredictable. I have heard grumbling from fellow lawyers on both sides–plaintiff's and defense–for years about the painfully high cost of amassing the roomfuls of medical records necessary to prosecute and defend our cases. One of my colleagues on the New York City Bar's Medical Malpractice Committee has drafted legislation intended to make the costs fairer and more predictable. But not much has happened to change things, until now.
Last week, Judge Michael Telesca, of the Western District of New York, issued a decision denying defendants' motion to dismiss in the case of McCracken v. Verisma Systems, Inc., 6:14-cv-06248, NYLJ 1202737705857 (WDNY 2015). The defendants are providers of medical records, while the plaintiffs are patients who received medical treatment at the defendant facilities, and claimed that defendants overcharged them for copies of their medical records. The defendants charged the plaintiffs $.75 per page for their records. The relevant part of the statute is: "(e) The provider may impose a reasonable charge for all inspections and copies, not exceeding the costs incurred by such provider…However, the reasonable charge for paper copies shall not exceed seventy-five cents per page… " NY PHL Section 18(2)[e].
Plaintiffs argued that the PHL allows providers to collect a reasonable charge for copies, provided it (1) does not exceed the costs incurred by the provider, and (2) does not exceed $.75 per page of records. Id. at 11-12. Defendants argued that the PHL sets $.75 as a "presumptively reasonable price," so that if a provider's copying costs were less than $.75, the provider can go ahead and charge $.75 anyway. Id. at 11-12. Judge Telesca noted that defendants' argument "effectively allows healthcare providers to make a profit on copying medical records if they can keep their actual copying costs under $0.75 per page." Id. at 11-12. He found that defendants' interpretation of the PHL "misreads the statute," as such providers may not charge more than their actual costs, and even that is capped at $.75 per page. Id. at 11-12. Judge Telesca invited defendants to submit documentary evidence of actual costs incurred. Id. at 11-12.
So what are we going to do the next time we request medical records, people? Are we going to accept the going rate of $.75 per page, or are we going to fight, and use Judge Telesca's words as our sharpest weapon?

Another exhibition of tattoo in brick-wall museum!!
Let me invite you to another brick-wall museum. This time to "The Field Museum in Chicago, USA" where they decided to exhibit my images of Japanese tattoo masters.
As I wrote earlier, time changed. An angle how people see tattoos and also prejudice the most of people has changed.
The connection of crime gangs and tattoos has been cut even though in some countries it still at the beginning (Japan is the case).
Respected museums were always "Off limit" for whatever exhibition of tattoo and I am pleased to announce that my image of the Horiyoshi III client has been selected for another well respected museum.
The Field Museum in Chicago will open the exhibition of tattoo to the public from 21 October 2016 through 30 April 2017.
Do not miss the chance if you are nearby!

BACOLOD CITY-- Secretary Martin Andanar of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) has expressed optimism of increasing public awareness on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Community as about 600 multi-sectoral representatives attended the ASEAN-PCOO Roadshow here Friday.
"Only 24 percent of the ASEAN citizens have basic understanding of (what it is). It is incumbent for our office to go around and explain what ASEAN is," Andanar said in a press briefing at the sidelines of the roadshow at the Sugarland Hotel.
He added that after 11 months of hosting the ASEAN meetings as the Philippines assumes the chairmanship this year, he hopes that "more than 24 percent will already understand" the benefits ASEAN can bring to its citizens.
The roadshow capped the four-day ASEAN 2017 events here highlighted by the two-day 15th Meeting of the ASEAN Senior Officials/Ministers Responsible for Information (SOMRI) on March 22 and 23 at SMX Convention Center Bacolod.
PCOO Undersecretary Noel Puyat chaired the 15th SOMRI Meeting.
During the roadshow, present were students, employees of national government agencies and local government units, barangay officials, and representatives from the business sector.
Moreover, Andanar said during the press briefing that a multi-lateral agreement on how to combat "fake news" is being eyed among the ASEAN member-states.
"We are aggressively talking to our counterparts in other ASEAN countries and one of the objectives is to have a very good bilateral communications relationship with (them). The problem of 'fake news' is also right there on top of the agenda," he added.
Andanar said that during their recent meeting, Thailand Deputy Government Spokesman Lt. Gen. Werachon Sukonthapatipak talked about the possibility of meeting with their other counterparts days before the 30th ASEAN Summit in April.
"One of the issues to be discussed, if that happens, will be 'fake news' - steps that we should take to at least combat it and discourage it, and inform the citizenry what fake and bonafide stories are," he added.
"It's best that we wait for that meeting to happen so that we the ASEAN will have a collected decision and will have a multi-lateral agreement on how we would define 'fake news,'" Andanar said, adding that he also wants the private media to join the discussion to have "a very fruitful, dynamic discourse."

Pop! Review: Disney's The Black Hole (NYCC Exclusive)
For today's review, I take a look at the New York Comic Con/ Toy Tokyo exclusive duo of Funko Pop! Vinyls from Disney's The Black Hole, V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Maximillian.
Based off the 1979 live action Disney film, both V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Maximillian are robots in the movie, the former being a good robot, and the latter being an evil one.
Both V.I.N.C.E.N.T. and Maximillian are perched on clear bases to mimic them floating, or flying, in the movie.
Overall, this movie does not get a lot of merchandise, so having Funko decide to make these two Pop! Vinyls is interesting. It was a smart move to make them a convention exclusive, however, as I feel these would not be popular in mainstream retail. I personally am very happy that I added these two Pop! Vinyls to my collecion… and now I want to track the movie down to watch again, as it has been quite a while since I have see it.
Did you add these two Pop! Vinyls to your collection? What are your thoughts on them? Let us know in the comments below.

What Is EMR?
Understanding Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)
This radiation is emitted through electromagnetic fields that are invisible. Because they send electrical and magnetic forces running through anything with an electrical current, this radiation courses through any and all appliances that have electrical charges such as iPads, cell phones, tablets, and laptops. These charges can produce harmful side effects that many are blind to when it comes to their smart devices and technology.
The EMR that is emitted is essentially heating the brain and frankly "cooking" it as you are using your devices, and cell phone electromagnetic radiation is particularly dangerous because you are placing the device near your head. Although everyone can be affected, children are at the highest risk because their bodies and skulls are still developing, so electromagnetic radiation can more deeply penetrate their brains and bodies, causing more harm. In addition, while we all use cell phones and electronic devices, children are starting younger and younger, meaning they are exposed to the radiation for more of their lives.
The Danger of Mobile Phone Radiation
According to a recent article published by CNN, the radiation released from your cell phone and other devices while using them could cause cancer and other harmful illnesses. Through studies, there has been evidence linking cell phone use to glioma and brain cancer.
You may not know this, but many household items create electromagnetic radiation waves. Mobile phones, cordless phones, laptops, WiFi routers, televisions, microwaves, induction cookers, hair dryers, and others all carry the risk of overexposing you to dangerous radiation. These waves are harmful to the human body mainly due to the positive ions within the waves, which interact negatively with organic matter.
How VodeOX EMR Helps
The VodeOX EMR patch helps reduce risk from the positive ions up to 99.9 percent.
With the VodeOX EMR patch producing as much "anions" (a negatively charged ion) as your devices are producing harmful positive ions, these anions can neutralize the radiation so the radiation will no longer be strong enough to penetrate human skin.
In this way, VodeOX International has created the best anti-electromagnetic radiation product to protect you and your family from these dangerous waves. With our EMR patch, you can significantly decrease the radiation waves produced by your devices, thus enhancing your life and protecting yourself. Designed as a small patch, the EMR neutralizer simply peels off from its backing and adheres to the back of any of your electronic devices. It is hardly noticeable, almost as thin as a piece of paper, and will not add any extra weight to your belongings.
With our device, you have approximately 675 beneficial anions working 24/7 to neutralize and protect you from the harmful positive ions radiating from electronic devices.
There is no reason that you should continue to use your smartphone and computers without giving yourself the protection you need from harmful electromagnetic radiation.

Why investment in stocks done in bad times provide good results
Every investor would like to buy low and sell high. However, the reality for a typical equity investor involves buying high as the market rises, buying less when it falls, and not buying anything when the market is really down.
What Indian stock market History Says
When the Sensex was at 3,049 and the average forward price to earning (PE) ratio of the benchmark was 10.34 in March 2003, investors kept away from equities.
The total investment in equity funds during 2002-2003 was Rs 118 crore. However, when the average PE was high at 20.56, more than Rs 52,000 crore was invested in equity funds in 2007-2008.
More specifically, between October 2007 and March 2008, when the Sensex was near 20,000, the net sale of equity mutual funds was worth Rs 41,142 crore. On the other hand, just a year later, between October 2008 and March 2009, when the Sensex was below 10,000, the sale of equity funds was a negative Rs 162 crore.
In the past four years (2008-9 to 2011-12), even though the markets have been down and the PE is lower, the cumulative inflow in equity funds has been a negative Rs 6,000 crore.
This is not the first time that such a thing has happened. Between 1988 and 1992, after the Sensex went up a staggering 10 times from 400 to 4,000 level and the forward PE reached an all-time high of 40 times, an equity new fund offer collected nearly Rs 4,000 crore (Rs 20,000 crore at today's prices). Similarly, during the IT boom, billions of rupees were invested in IT, not to forget a similar trend in real estate and related sectors during 2007. See table below
This pattern, wherein an overwhelming majority of investors mistimes the market repeatedly and consistently, is the prime reason for their unsatisfactory experience with equity and for the poor equity ownership in India.
While there can be many reasons for this collective mistiming, the key one probably is that most of the investments in equity are not done with a long-term view and done when markets are at high and not during bearish period.
This, despite the fact that the best that equity has to offer is only over long periods. This is unfortunate since investors are not benefiting from the compounding potential of equities by investing for the short term.
The power of CAGR (compounded Annual growth rate)
At 15% CAGR (compounded Annual growth rate), Rs 10,000 becomes nearly Rs 20,000 in 5 years, Rs 50,000 in 11 years, Rs 1 lakh in 17 years, and Rs 2 lakh in 22 years.
Due to the incorrect understanding of equities, investors target only small gains over short periods. As the horizon is short term, the entire focus is on guessing the near-term market movements due to which the outcome would result in negative beside other headaches and stress.
What Happens in Uptrend
This unavoidably leads to extrapolating the markets in either direction and, therefore, in a rising market, the expectation is that it will continue to rise. The greed of quick returns leads to higher inflows in equities, and as the trend sustains, both the confidence and greed keep increasing, leading to higher inflows.
Also, when the market is rising, the news flow is generally good, and vice versa. Therefore, generally, in a rising market, the perceived risk is low even though the actual risk is higher since the valuations are high.
What Happens in Downtrend
On the other hand, in a market that is moving downwards, the expectation is that it will keep moving lower, leading to lesser inflows; the lower the market moves, or the longer the market does not move, the higher is the confidence that it will fall further or that it is going nowhere, resulting in the drying up of fresh investments or redemption of existing investments.
In adverse times, when the market is not doing well and the news flow is not good, the perceived risk is high, whereas the actual risk is lower as the valuations are attractive.
The net result is that, time and again, people end up investing large amounts at high valuations and small amounts at low valuations. Clearly, such an approach is not conducive to generating good returns and is likely to lead to disappointing results.
Good returns seldom come from investments made during good times. Instead, they typically come from investments made in adverse times. When the stock market is doing well, companies usually trade above their fair values. It is during adverse times that they trade below their fair values.
In the long run, markets do not remain either overvalued or undervalued; they move closer to the fair value. This is why investments made during difficult times usually give above-average returns.

Now, you may be wondering why I have been prescribed testosterone and why I seem so keen to get my hands on the stuff.When I had my hormone levels checked back in June, my testosterone levels showed up as very low at 0.5 ng/d L.In fact, a section of the report comes under the heading of A category under attack because thats what it is when those researchers monitored online discussions.Out of 7.2 million dairy postings/conversations there were 172,000 vegan and dairy free threads, 14,200 lactose intolerance and 2,700 dairy alterative threads.But please note, all of you serial committee people who hop from one Board to another (you know who you are! If all dairy farmers instantly thought the idea and visuals were great I would be very worried indeed. The forerunner to the campaign was a very comprehensive 195-page Dairy Market Development report in January of this year by Edelman Intelligence, who are described as tech geeks, political junkies, branding experts and media movers all rolled into one. Their advice was that any collaborative UK dairy campaign must be positive, simple, and loud, and must bring back customers, be visible to dairy farmers, create value for producers and processors, as well as support all dairy categories equally.
Armed with my new prescription I headed off to the pharmacy only to be told there was none in stock so they had to order it in.Looking at the list of all the roles testosterone plays it seems to me that testosterone could actually play an important role in shaping personality and behaviour.Could my lack of assertiveness and general low mood and low energy be down to my pitifully low testosterone levels, I wonder?But for now I am grateful that I finally have all the HRT I need to start my treatment.I have no idea if this particular combination of hormones is going to work or if I will have unpleasant side-effects.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 08:52:29 EDT From: ThomasM923 at aol.com Subject: Copper phosphorous brazing rod There was a time when I had grandiose visions of building my own copper boiler. It was a short-lived pipe dream, and I've long since come back to my senses. During this period of delusion I had picked up some copper phosphorous brazing rod to experiment with. I never did, until I uncovered it this weekend during a long promised cleaning of the basement. My curiosity was piqued and I tried it out on some bits of copper I had laying around. It is an amazingly easy material to use, flowing like a dream and filling large gaps in a single bound. I have a lauter tun manifold that I am building out of copper tubing that I was going to join together with jeweler's (cadmium free) silver solder which requires very tight fitting joints. It would be quite a bit easier if I could use the copper phosphorous brazing rod. I've looked for info on whether this material is food safe or not, but I have not found any. I have found that "white phosphorous" (phosphorous in powdered form) is toxic in fairly small amounts. Does anyone have any information on this brazing material? Oh, by the way, hats off to Pat Babcock and all for getting the HBD back on line. I had no idea how to waste all the time that I had been wasting before it went away...

Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 13:22:30 +0000 From: AJ <ajdel at mindspring.com> Subject: Poppets/Cyser/CO2 Bob P asked about removing poppets. I've never had any trouble with these at all. Perhaps the "secret" is to push them out from the top rather than pull them out from the bottom. Simply place the fitting right side up on the bench and push down on the poppet with the closed tip of a needle nosed plier or some similar instrument and the poppet should pop free. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For Calgary Penn's cyser I can only suggest patience. Meads don't take off the way beers do, especially under cool conditions. The cider should supply plenty of nitrogen and 18 hours should be enough time for most of the sulfur dioxide to have escaped. I have had great success with the Pasteur strain with both meads and ciders. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Stu Ing asks about small CO2 bottles. The amount of CO3 required to carbonate beer depends on the level of carbonation desired. Let's consider very high carbonation as 3 volumes of CO2 per volume of beer. Five gallons is 19 L which is pretty close to a mole of the gas at room temp thus 3 volumes of CO2 is about three moles which which weigh 3 x 44 = 133 grams - about 4 ounces. Thus the smallest bottle will be enough to carbonate and dispense (approximately another mole would be required to displace the beer during dispense). As the unit cost of CO2 is inversely proportional to the size of the container it is purchased in it would seem sensible to condition with gas from the largest container and dispense with gas from the small ones for convenience. I have seen ads for doo-dads which take a selzer bottle cartrige in an appliance which attaches to the gas quick disconnect fitting. - -- A. J. deLange Numquam in dubio, saepe in errore.

Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 14:49:35 +0000 From: steve-alexander at att.net Subject: Where's Waldo ? StepUps, Chemostats As I write this post, I sit in a hotel in Southern Stuttgart sipping a Schwaben Brau Pils about to join in the local Filderkraut fest. I'll be here thru the end of month on business and have only sporadic access to HBD (as one of my co-workers said in broken Engish - 'Its a hard life for a hard guy like me'). PatB can rest assured that my check for back dues will be in the mail as soon as I return. OTOH the beer, food, people, and exchange rate are great, as was the Stuttgart O'fest the week before last. Sorry for the line-wraps, netmail bites. ==== KyleB writes on Starter Step-Up Rates > -I think I read in the HBD archives that Steve A. > 4X was correct for lagers, and 8X for ales? Actually Kyle the 4X and 8X is the relationship between the final starter size and the batch size. That is - for 5gal of lager wort you should pitch the yeast from 1.25gal of starter ! You shouldn't take such figures too seriously - it's the viable cell count that matters. And the suggested pitching rates do depend on the yeast - and the viability can change overnight. As for step-up rates - I think they are almost nonsense. You don't want to pitch slantful into 10bbl of wort because the ever present infections will in evitably overtake the yeast. One thought is that you I should feed the yeast continuously, and at a rate so that they won't go anaerobic on you (from too much glucose primarily) - which you would by stepping up at 2X or greater). A conflicting thought is that such continuous feeds *may* prevent the yeast from transitioning from glucose to maltose and eventually to maltotriose. That is it may actually help select for yeast that won't consume maltotriose. That would be bad. You should really examine information on chemostat and bioreactor design. Jim Liddel(the Idi Amin of HBD ?) mentioned the chemostat before the crash - but I am afraid he left the impression that it was a designed for optimal growth. It was not. It was designed to study growth parameters by creating steady-state continuous growth. The chemostat cell culture remains in exponental (log) phase, but the growth per unit medium (wort) may be extremely low. And it produces overflow cells at a continuous rate, not in big pitchable amounts. A chemostat and a few simple diff eq's can yield an amazing amount of information in nutrient req's and growth rates. Bioreactors are designed for product growth - things like producing human insulin by growing genetically modified E.coli in a bottle - still not the same thing. Return to table of contents

Kolbach > 42. Malt specs are on our web page (now linked from grain page). I spent 10 days in August visiting Czech breweries and maltings. My hosts, escorts, and interpreters were maltsters. Michael Jackson was with us for 4 days. Here's a couple of points about brewing Czech pilsners. 1. Last rest should be at 72C. 2. First wort hopping is unheard of in Czech brewing. With all due respect, the information contained in the Brewing Techniques article was incorrect (note the source was a marketing guy). This is not to say first wort hopping or dry hopping are undesirable, just they are not part of Czech brewing. 3. I have the Budweiser Budvar yeast strain.

Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 14:56:54 -0400 From: "Mr. Joy Hansen" <joytbrew at patriot.net> Subject: Sanke conversion Ian Smith asked about converting a sanke to a corny. I use a Sanke as a fermenter and have cut out the standard fitting to the oval shape for a corny lid. I use glass as a secondary. This isn't the only approach; however, it works for me. It's not easy to cut the oval shape out of a sanke top. With a lot of patients, I drill the perimeter with nitride tipped bits, use a saber saw or sawsall to break the sanke fitting out. Then, I use rotary files to finish the final shape of the oval. The plastic top kegs have a smooth interior lid and a corny lid will seal easily "if" one uses the Williams corny "o" rings. The metal topped sanke has strengthening ribs bent into the metal. I used an anvil and hammer to more or less flatten the area around the oval. With patients, the shape can be fashioned so a corny lid can be sealed with the Williams corny "o" ring. It's obvious that the legs of the closure lock must be shortened as necessary to assure adequate pressure to seal the "O" ring, yet allow the closure to operate. To siphon to the secondary, I do not remove the corny lid. I remove the blow off and insert the siphon tube into the sanke. In fact, once the lid is sealed, I do not break the seal until it's time to clean the sanke. This might prevent vermin or debris from dropping into the brew. I also use Hoptec antifoam in the fermenter to limit the amount of blow off. Don't know it's affect on brew head. I haven't got past the mash requirements for good head yet. Anyway, since the corny lid modification is intended as a means to clean the sanke, I can say it works great. I can reach all the areas I can't see. My arm is too large to fit through the corny opening, so I brush the areas I can't reach. PBW does a great job at removing most of the debris. I never had much confidence about the cleanliness of a sanke that I couldn't know for sure I scrubbed the entire interior. For comparison, it takes considerable effort to remove the residuals from the upper level of the ferment in glass fermenters. For fermentation, I drilled a ~3/4 inch hole to accept clear PVC. This is routed with hose barb elbows over the side of the keg and into a blow off container. The safety valve is left in tact, just in case the Mr. Murphy visits. I ferment 8 to 13 gallons in the primary and a combination of bottle sizes for the secondary. This setup fits into my beer cooler and I use a temperature controller to adjust the fermentation temperature. Return to table of contents
Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 15:43:18 -0500 From: "Sean Richens" <srichens at sprint.ca> Subject: Re: Yeast Starter Step Sizes You can, indeed, work your way up from a single yeast cell, and that single cell is usually pitched into a small tube, and so on. Under sterile conditions it will eventually grow exponentially to consume the entire food supply. However, if you want your yeast cell to perform in a specific way, the conditions will make a difference. In the pharmaceutical plant where I work, we do some pretty big step-ups early in some processes, but the rule of thumb is to make the last few transfers between 5X and 20X. The actual step size is optimized for the particular organism, product, etc., but the point is that happy bugs don't mind so much putting their energy into making product instead of making more fungus. Sure, we could pitch 5 mL of starter into a multi-thousand-litre fermenter, but we're trying to make antibiotics, not fungal biomass. If you pitched 5 mL of starter into 5 gallons of well-aerated wort under sterile conditions you would have no trouble making yeast. The beer might not be so good. Sean Return to table of contents

Hmmm. My starter procedure is more or less as follows: I pitch a standard Wyeast smackpack into 2 quarts of 1.030 wort with perhaps 15 IBU worth of hops I have previously canned, in a glass 1/2 gallon milk bottle. Half of this is pitched 24 hours or so later into 2 quarts of canned wort in my primary fermenter. The rest is allowed to ferment to completion, and stored in my basement, or refrigerator. The next day I pitch freshly made wort onto the starter, aerating by splashing and/or running the wort down the inside of the fermentor. I usually shake the fermentor for a while, too. When I want to use the yeast again, I add a quart of canned wort to the milk bottle, let it ferment for 12-24 hours, shake well to mix the yeast with the liquid, add half of that to 2 quarts of canned wort in my fermenter, and so on. I typically reuse the yeast 4 or 5 times, then throw it out and start over with a fresh smackpack. Someday I will see how many times I can reuse the yeast before infections or mutations set in. I always get reasonably fast starts; depending on the yeast strain and chance factors, from 1 to 6 hours, even though sometimes I am lax in aerating the wort. Since I have been using this procedure, I use a 12 gallon Pyrex carboy to eliminate the blowoff tube necessary when I used a 6.5 gallon carboy. So far, I have not had any problems with infections. My beer has improved noticeably. I suspect that my pitching rate may be sub-optimal, but I probably won't change my procedure, since the results are good. I make only ales, use American Ale II, European, German, and Swedish Wyeast smackpacks mostly. Jim's Brewery Pages: Return to table of contents

Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 20:27:31 EDT From: Biergiek at aol.com Subject: Step-up Rate Documentation I was able to find a reference for yeast starter step-up rates in Fix's latest book on pp. 74. He suggests using a "geometric" step-up rate, i.e. 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X, etc., although, he does not explain why. Thanks to all who mentioned that the reason for using a step-up for a starter is to minimize bacterial growth and allow the yeast to dominate the starter culture. Makes sense to me! Anyone have a reference as to whether starter temperature is important? In the same book, Fix suggests that the starter culture should be propagated at the same temperature as the beer is fermented at. I did see a post from several years ago that MB Raines suggests growing the starter at room temperature. Seems to me that maximizing healthy cell counts is most important outcome for yeast starters, and this can best be achieved at warmer temps. rather then cooler temps. I would like to hear others weigh in on this issue, or any other yeast topics. Kyle Return to table of contents

Depression & Anxiety Treatment
Treated at: Tennessee and Pennsylvania
Clinical depression and anxiety disorders frequently occur in people struggling with substance abuse and other destructive behaviors. Research shows that people with anxiety or mood disorders such as depression are two to three times more likely to abuse alcohol or drugs than people without a mental health disorder. At The Ranch mental health and drug rehab, our psychiatric team helps clients manage anxiety and depression with behavioral therapies and research-backed medications as clinically appropriate. Depending on the location, we offer inpatient treatment for anxiety and depression with or without a co-occurring substance use disorder.

Our Horses J-Z
Sugar is a beautiful Appaloosa mare. She has been at Jeremiah's Crossing since spring 2012. Sugar is a very willing partner to several of our riders. Sugar was donated to Jeremiah's Crossing. We feel that she belongs at the ranch, not only for what she brings to the program, but also because she understands living with challenges. Sugar is blind in one eye. Although she is not able to be involved in independent lessons, she does just fine with the security of a lead-rope and horse handler guiding her and her rider.
Sugar was donated to Jeremiah's Crossing by Tiffany Engelkens. Thank you, Tiffany! We just love Sugar and are pleased that she is a Jeremiah's Crossing program horse.
Sugar is sponsored by The Straughan Family and Wisconsin Rapids Moravian Church! Thank you!

I'm a parent of two young kids. As a relatively new parent, I worry. A LOT. I guess that comes with the territory, right?
Being a worried and perhaps sometimes a little paranoid mom, finding the right preschool for my oldest child (I still call him a baby!) was extremely important. I've been fortunate enough to get most of my child care taken care of by family. So having strangers watch and teach my child was something completely new and a little scary for me.
I recently wrote an article for San Diego Family about some things to watch out for when searching for a new preschool. Check it out and hopefully, some of the tips here will help you if you're in the same boat as I was!

Alternate Title
The Pelagic - Sargassum Ichthyofauna of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico
A total of 2857 fishes comprising 15 families and 40 species was collected at 62 localities in the eastern Gulf of Mexico between 1971 and 1976. The fauna was dominated by the Carangidae, Balistidae, and Syngnathidae. Monacanthus hispidus was the most abundant species and comprised 84.5% of the total fauna. Species diversity (H') was variable within the Gulf and low in comparison with the western Atlantic Sargassum - associated ichthyofauna. "Index of Affinity" was high within the Gulf due to the abundance of M. hispidus. Perhaps conditions associated with community dispersal, for which M. hispidus is better adapted, permit this species to dominate this community. Additionally, species diversity differences may be due to substrate area or "clumpsize".

Bold Forms Stunticon Update – Wildfire/Breakdown Image
Third Party maker Bold Forms, who recently revealed another Third Party Menasor combiner in the news release of their Lone Wolf/Motormaster mold, has released via Facebook images of the next mold in the combiner. BFC-S02 Wildfire. Their version of the G1 Breakdown character. Bold Forms remains a fairly unknown entity and we have yet to see pricing information or confirmed size comparisons. With the presence of other Third Party Menasor offerings, as well as an official offering from Hasbro due out soon, it will be interesting to see where this project goes.

Over 37 Million Americans Expected to Travel this Memorial Day
Friday, May 08, 2015
Kicking off the summer driving season, 33 million travelers will be driving to their destinations.
More than 831,000 Massachusetts residents will be among the expected travelers, 755,000 by car, also the highest volumes in ten years.
Holiday air travel is expected to increase 2.5 percent to 2.6 million leisure travelers.
Travel by other modes of transportation including cruises, trains and buses, is expected to decrease 3.6 percent this Memorial Day, to 1.64 million.
Travelers will encounter higher average daily car rental and lodging costs this year, while airfares are down slightly compared to Memorial Day 2014.
"Following a harsh winter, many Americans are trading in their snow boots for flip flops and making plans to start the season with a vacation getaway," said Lloyd P. Albert, AAA Northeast Senior Vice President of Public and Government Affairs.
"AAA is expecting more Memorial Day travelers this year than any time in the past 10 years as confident consumers come out of hibernation ready to explore national parks, beach destinations and America's great cities.," Albert said.
With approximately 1,676,000 travelers, New England is projected to be up 5.1 percent over last year, slightly higher than the national average. More than 1.5 million New Englanders are expected to travel by car. Following the national trend, these figures are the highest they've been in ten years.
Tips for drivers
AAA expects to rescue nearly 350,000 motorists at the roadside this Memorial Day weekend, with the primary reasons being dead batteries, flat tires and lockouts. AAA recommends motorists inspect their vehicle and check battery and tire condition before heading out on a holiday getaway. Members can download the AAA mobile app (AAA.com/mobile), visit AAA.com or call 1-800-AAA-HELP to request roadside assistance in the event of a breakdown.
Hotel and car rental rates increase, airfares fall slightly
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, the average daily car rental rate this Memorial Day is $19 higher than last year. The average nightly stay in a Two Diamond hotel is 16 percent higher this year at $144, while Three Diamond hotels will cost seven percent more, averaging $182. Average airfares for the top 40 domestic flight routes are two percent cheaper this year, falling to $222.
AAA's projections are based on economic forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight. The Colorado-based business information provider teamed with AAA in 2009 to jointly analyze travel trends during major holidays.

Royalston Falls
If you want a little bit of an outdoor adventure, hike to Royalston Falls in Royalston, MA. The hike itself isn't too long, but it can be challenging. It leads you to a remote gorge created by prehistoric glacial meltwater and 45 foot plunging waterfall within a half-hidden ravine. If you're up for the adventure, the destination is far worth the trek.
Blackstone River Valley National Historic Corridor
One of Newport's most famous attraction is its gilded age mansions lining the coast. Entry to the mansions will cost a small fee, but with the Cliff Walk, you can enjoy views of the mansions with breathtaking views of the water for free. The 3.5 mile long path runs behind the mansions on the eastern shore of Newport. It is a National Recreation Trail – the first in New England! The majority of the walk is easy, but be sure to wear good shoes; the sand can make the path slippery.
The Sprinkler Factory, Worcester
The Sprinkler Factory in Worcester is not actually factory, but rather a gallery. Though, its namesake does come from the real-life sprinkler factory started by Howard Freeman in WWII. Why? Because he embodies "the spirit of innovation." With the aim of providing the public with a place to display and enjoy the visual arts, the Sprinkler Factory hosts exhibitions once a month, and they're always free.
Independence Trail: Providence, RI
For Rhode Island's own version of Boston's Freedom Trail, follow the painted green line for the Independence Trail. The 2.5 mile tour of historic Providence "takes you over four centuries of history, architecture, culture, and folklore." Don't worry about where to begin, the route is circular so you can start anywhere! Along the painted green trail on the sidewalks you'll find red emblems with a phone number and a location number. If you want some more historical context or to know what it is exactly you are looking at, call the number and punch in your location to hear fun facts and stories about that particular point of interest. You'll see sights like St. John's Cathedral, historical cemeteries, and the oldest continuously published newspaper in the country.
Dinosaur Footprints - Holyoke
This is exactly what it sounds like – a place to see real dinosaur footprints! In Holyoke, MA, Dinosaur Footprints is home to more than 130 fossilized dinosaur footprints, available for you to check out up close. Scientists think these prints were the tracks of small groups of carnivorous, two-legged dinosaurs that may have been up to 15 feet tall! The larger prints were likely from an ancestor of the T-Rex. You can find fossils of fish, plants, and more. Don't miss the group of 20 plus tracks at the site, which helped form the theory that dinosaurs travelled together in packs.
East Bay Bike Path
If you're looking for a dose of natural beauty and healthy activity, try going for a spin on the East Bay Bike Path. The first bike facility to be under the State, it is a 13.8 mile trail that connects 8 different parks from Providence to Bristol. Do the whole thing or just a stretch and cross over bridges and by coves on the Narragansett Bay shore. The bike path is open year round.
Watch Hill, RI
Watch Hill was once inhabited by the Niantic Indians in 1600s and later by the colonists. Its historic lighthouse was built in 1806 and the peninsular town became a resort destination in the early 1900s. Over the years it has housed the summer homes of the rich and famous and boasts beautiful beaches and fabulous shopping and dining. Walk around the quaint little town, check out the waves at East Beach and find Taylor Swift's property.

Central Mass Rail Trail
The Mass Central Rail Trail is 104 miles of trail from Boston to Northampton. The trail runs along the old railroad tracks that were destroyed in a 1938 hurricane, hence its name. At this point, the entire run has not been opened to the public and is still underway, but there are still plenty of miles of bike-path to enjoy on a beautiful day!
Purgatory Chasm: Sutton, MA
Take a hike at Purgatory Chasm and see the unique landmark that formed naturally approximately 14,000 years ago. Theory has it that the chasm was formed near the end of the last Ice Age with the sudden release of glacial meltwater that had been dammed up. Pretty neat! The chasm is ¼ mile long and runs between giant granite rock, sometimes standing at 70 feet high! You do have to pay to park ($5 MA residents, $6 for you out-of-staters), but exploring the reservation is completely free.

The Providence Athenaeum: Providence, RI
Located on Benefit Street in Providence, the Athenaeum is a unique independent library and cultural center. It was founded in 1836 as an independent library supported by its members, but open to the public. The building itself is impressive- a Greek Revival building finished in 1838. The only building in New England to be designed by William Strickland. The Providence Athenaeum doesn't call itself a public library, or an academic library, or a community center, but instead a combination of all of those things.
ArtWorcester is a unique space for artists and art enthusiasts alike in the Worcester community. Their main goal is to "exhibit and promote local contemporary artists, free of charge to the public." They also open their doors for anyone to participate in the gallery exhibits, including first-timers! The exhibits and openings are always free, and you can see a wide range of artists and creative works.
The Fantastic Umbrella Factory: Charlestown, RI
Down in Charlestown, RI on Old Post Road you will find The Fantastic Umbrella Factory. No, they don't actually make umbrellas. Instead, you will find yourself on a 19th century farmyard "shopper's paradise and international bazaar." The old buildings are now inhabited by little shops and cafes and the grounds are covered in interesting and beautiful gardens. As you meander around the property, you'll see a handful of chickens running around, 2 goats, 3 emus and a lot of ducks. Buy some trinkets while you're there, or some feed for the animals, or just have fun walking around and seeing everything they have to offer.
Worcester Historical Museum
If you're interested in the history of Worcester, where better to go than the Worcester Historical Museum? It's the only institution in the city dedicated solely to local history. The museum offers exhibitions, programs and tours to take you through the history of the city. If you're under 18, it's free! It is also free for members.
Gallery Night Providence: Providence, RI
If art is really your thing – or not, and you want to give it a try – check out Gallery Night Providence. From March to November, galleries in Providence will open their doors for free tours on the third Saturday of the month. What started in 1996 with just 9 galleries has grown to include museums and historic sites. You have the option of parking at One Regency Plaza (for free!) and hope on one of their themed buses for a 2 hour long tour of approximately 4 galleries. Buses leave at 5:20, 5:40, 6:00, 6:20, 6:40 and 7:00 pm.
By the Canal Tour
Worcester's Canal District is home to eleven buildings that originate from the early 1800s. Preservation Worcester wants you to enjoy the history available to you, for free! They offer a Canal District Walking Tour, By the Canal, to expose you to the stories of the people and historical events that created Worcester. You can pick up a free tour brochure at the Preservation Worcester office on Cedar Street, download a printable version of the tour and tour map, or download audio files to phone to do an audio tour.
Benefit Street: Providence, RI
Outside of the Providence Athenaeum, the rest of Benefit Street has much to offer. The mile-long stretch is often referred to as "Benefit Street's Mile of History" and displays beautiful and original Colonial homes, restored churches and museums. If you head to the Providence Preservation Society, you can embark on a self-guided walking tour of the street and its architecture for free.

On the tour you'll see things like the Bell Room, where RI has its replica of the Liberty Bell on display, and of course, the rotunda, where you can look up at the dome.

Daylighting curtain / 2007 / Prototype
By bending opaque textile panels, the Shades curtain allows to regulate a room's daylight exposure from direct to fully indirect.
When shut, direct light no longer reaches any point in the room. Instead, its reflection is caught on the textile, providing a majestic manifestation of indoor natural light. The curtain movement is driven by a string mechanism which can be operated either manually or electrically. Electronic triggering of the movement in function of the momentary daylight situation can be implemented by use of a photo sensor. Next to softening the light atmosphere, the curtain also has favorable acoustic properties. Shades can be applied as a window shielding or a spatial design element, and works in relation with natural or artificial light.

Death By China by Peter Navarro
Listen to the podcast now:
Book Summary:
Death by China challenges the dominant paradigm of a "Chinese Miracle" – the one featuring a modernizing, progressive Chinese state heading toward political reform and driving global economic growth with its new found embrace of capitalism and freedom. Tearing this delusion away, Death by China documents the myriad ways that a powerful, wealthy, and corrupt Chinese Communist Party emboldened by a growing nationalistic frenzy is becoming the biggest threat to global peace, prosperity, and health since Nazi Germany.
Our Cocktail Party Statements:
Aaron: China – the 800 pound gorilla in the room that American politicians won't touch.
Phil: If you were born yesterday and had no idea what was going on in China, this is the book for you.

Facebook is a perfect example. You can spend a lot of time and energy learning the ins and outs of the site, and building your image on the site by posting pictures, videos, and messages. You spend a lot of time getting friends to pay attention to you, and you in turn spend a lot of time keeping track of them. If you leave Facebook, you leave both your virtual friends and your investment in the site behind.The so called "lock-in" strategy that is pursued by Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others, is building an internet consumer culture that is limited by choice, and punished for pursuing other outlets.
You definitely see this happening in a number of places. Davidow points out that when it comes to listening to music - Apple blocks you in with it's technology (iPhones, iPads, iPods) and its software (iTunes).
But I think when it comes to social networking sites - something more is happening than an effective business strategy.
Let's look at Google+ and Facebook.
I wouldn't argue that the failure of Google+ is because of policies by Facebook. Google+ wasn't super successful because of the very nature of social media sites. Consumers want to tap into their network of friends, and the tighter and more interconnected their network is, the better. That's how Facebook beat out MySpace in the first place. We have a whole generation of people (of which I'm included) who literally can't be on the computer for more than 10 minutes without checking Facebook. And you know why? Because it's the closest thing we having to being a room with all your friends. You have a birds eye view of your entire social life That is pretty remarkable.
It's kind of like this. I have a core group of friends. We hang out. We do things together. You get the picture. Isn't there a lock-in strategy there? It's more of a pain to explore new friends and social circles because you have to completely rebuild those friendships.
You could infer the same thing about Facebook, and other big internet companies. So why would we (as consumers) even lift a finger to look for substitutes, when it's all right there!
I'm not saying that these companies actively pursue ways of keeping us on their websites, but it seems like a lot of the work is already done for them.
