Sv Find
From GECK
A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender.
Added by NVSE V4. Returns the position of the first occurence of a string in a string variable.
The first argument is a string, which may have optional formatting information thereafter. This is what you want to find.
The second argument (ignoring the optional formatting) is a string variable within which to search for the first string.
There are three optional int arguments at the very end: a start position and end position, which allow searching of a substring of the string_var, and finally, a boolean flag to enable case sensitivity.
(int) Sv_Find ToFind:string 20xOptional:formatting Within:string_var StartPos:int EndPos:int CaseSensitiveFlag:int

(int) Sv_Find ToFind:string Within:string_var

Our purpose is to encourage all people to question some things that they've always thought or have always been taught to be true. We all need to entertain the possibility of being wrong, because quite frankly, we all have this in common: we are all wrong about something.
Hopefully, through the issues discussed on this blog and through the conversations that will follow, all of us will be wiser and one step closer to finding more truth about this life and what the heck we are supposed to be doing with our existence.
We are quite aware of the many wiser, brighter, and more insightful folks that have dialogued about similar issues and simply hope this blog may be one small drop in the vast ocean of wisdom that already exists for people to learn from.
We also like jokes and discussions about nothing. You get all this and more by simply typing in U-N–L-E-A-R-N-I-N-G-.-O-R-G.

There is a recall of 34,000 Heritage Collection 3-in-1 drop-side cribs due to risks of entrapment and injury. The drop-side cribs subject to this recall were imported from Vietnam and sold at Kmart stores from February 2007 through October 2008 with Kmart model numbers 07-1248 and 07-1252.
Heritage has 17 reports of the drop-side detaching from the cribs. Three children were hurt after getting entrapped. I don't know the extent of the injuries but there is notorious underreporting of these incidents. (Have you ever reported a defect to a company? Chances are, you haven't.) Consumers should stop using the recalled cribs and contact Victory Land Group to receive a free repair kit. If your child is not injured, you really should not bring a lawsuit of any kind for any reason. But it is annoying to me that what consumers get is a free repair kit. This seems ridiculous to me somehow. What should they get? I don't know. How about sending me a new crib that is already properly assembled and does not put my child at risk? Is this too much to ask? Really, I don't know. Something about this goes against the grain with me, probably just because of the stakes with infants. If it was the same risk for adults, I probably would not be as worked up.

Worthington city officials are asking state transportation officials to reconsider plans to delay the north-central outerbelt project by as much as 20 years.
Worthington city officials are asking state transportation officials to reconsider plans to delay the north-central outerbelt project by as much as 20 years.
The Ohio Department of Transportation announced last week that construction on improvements to the interchange at I-270, state Route 315 and U.S. Route 23 would not get started until 2027, with the final stage not to begin until 2032.
The project has been in the planning stages for a decade and was set to get started in 2014 and take three years to complete.
It was part of a long list of projects that would be pushed back statewide.
"The list shows an unbelievable delay in the project," Worthington city manager Matt Greeson said. "It is really hard to believe it will be delayed that long."
ODOT staff on Jan. 17 made a presentation to the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC), showing the delayed dates. A transportation financial crisis facing Ohio was cited as the cause.
"For far too long, previous administrations have added more and more to the list of TRAC projects, knowing that there were more projects than funds available," ODOT director and TRAC chairman Jerry Wray said in an ODOT press release.
ODOT has seen its revenue shrink over the past several years as fuel consumption has decreased, the release stated. ODOT is completely funded with state and federal motor-fuel tax.
Worthington officials said they could see the problem coming and thus began a letter-writing campaign in December.
The interchange improvements are essential to alleviating safety concerns, Worthington City Council president Lou Goorey stated in a letter to ODOT.
"These projects are designed to address the inadequate capacity along this stretch of I-270 that results in a high number of vehicle crashes," he wrote to ODOT in a Dec. 13 letter.
In 2004, ODOT identified the interchange as the fourth-most congested and highest-crash area in the state. Between 2000 and 2003, the interchange saw an average of 1.5 crashes per day.
Moreover, traffic volume has increased more than 20 percent since that time, according to ODOT's website.
Council member Bonnie Michael said she was frustrated and disappointed with the ODOT announcement.
"Taking 32 years to have an interchange redone is, to me, sad," she said.
The amount of time the interchange would be under construction, thus tying up traffic, also has increased. With the first stage to begin in 2027 and the third in 2032, the area would be under construction for six years or longer.
"It is really going to cause a lot of turmoil to the Worthington area," Michael said.
ODOT is expected to hold a public-input phase in the coming months, and Worthington leaders will encourage everyone to get involved.
Worthington has worked closely with ODOT to design an attractive entryway as part of the project. By the time work begins, the planning probably will be outdated, Michael said.
The project includes the redesign of I-270, from I-71 to Route 315. New ramps were to be built to eliminate the dangerous merging patterns that exist there.
The plans call for a new bridge over the outerbelt, complete with Worthington-style signs and features. A pedestrian pathway would lead from Worthington to the Crosswoods area.
Route 23 north of the outerbelt would be widened, with one lane of northbound traffic in a trench to avoid traffic signals, thus facilitating traffic movement.
Southbound on North High Street, lanes would be added and the roadway leading to Wilson Bridge Road improved.
City manager Matt Greeson said plans to encourage the redevelopment of Wilson Bridge Road would continue because it is a long-term project. The proposed delay likely would undermine economic development, though.
"We want that interchange not only for traffic safety, but for the infusion into our economy," Greeson said.
Tom Carter, who purchased the mall at Route 23 and I-270 a year ago, said he was disappointed but did not expect the delay to hurt business at the Shops at Worthington Place.

Like a nine-stone cowboy, I go on. The Almanac continues. Best days ahead.
Are you finding missing text or images on Wilson's Almanac, especially newer pages? So am I, friends. It's due to my recently acquired poor eyesight, and a host of computer and software problems, which emerged while I was in hospital for months with Extreme Traumatic Brain Injury when I was nearly murdered (again) by unknown assailants.

O.M.G. (via JoeMyGod)
Darth Cheney is now on our side in repealing DADT.
This morning on ABC News This Week, Dick Cheney said that the time to repeal DADT has come.
I think the society has moved on. I think it's partly a generational question. I say I'm reluctant to second-guess the military in this regard because they're the ones who have got to make the judgment about how these policies affect the military capability of our, of our units. And that first requirement that you have to look at all the time is whether they're still capable of achieving their mission and does the policy change i.e. putting gays in the force, affect their ability to perform their mission. When the chiefs come forward and say we think we can do it, then it strikes me that it's time to reconsider the policy. And I think Admiral Mullen's said that.
You can view his Darthness say it HERE. But avert your eyes to avoid the soulless abyss behind his.
Or is it just his way of riling Obama?
Or is it just another veiled attempt to portray himself as actually human?

I bought some Bont plastic plates and they came in recently. The cushions were rough looking. The setup was like maybe cushions were not needed. The plates themselves were surprisingly stiff. I liked the aluminum kingpins though. They are light in weight. Cushions in most skates are way too hard for me to use. I like banking hard and standard skate plates just don't turn like that and neither will these. I'l modify these somewhat and put them on a boot. SZ12 of course, why build them if you can't skate them? I guess if someone wants to drag stiff plates through a turn they can. Going to take a look into their kingpins though. They are a little fat in size(>3/8").

Destiny 2 Preview: Shifting Dynamics
Kalvin Martinez / May 22nd, 2017 No Comments
Everything in Destiny 2 is going to be bigger and more dynamic. At an event in Hawthorne, Calif., Bungie shared the first details of Destiny 2. The overarching theme was how developers plan to address issues from the first game while building upon the foundation.
Destiny 2 will have a renewed focus on a meaningful solo experience — the "Guided Games" feature will give solo players an opportunity to try out Raids and Nightfall Strikes and more robust activities to tackle in exploration — while deepening the community aspects of the game with the addition of "Clans." New worlds, new exotics and new features make the game exciting for long-time fans, but the fresh start of a sequel also makes it a solid jumping on point for new players.
At the Destiny 2 Gameplay Reveal Livestream event, we got an opportunity to try out the opening story mission, a new strike, the brand new PVP mode, "Countdown," and the game running on PC for the first time in series history.
What do these small slices of Destiny 2 tell us about what to expect when the game releases on Sept. 8?
Can I Borrow Some Light?
Do you have the courage to fight against impossible odds? If the worst case scenario occurs will you rise to become a hero or will you crumble under the pressure?
Honestly, it doesn't matter. No matter what you do, the Tower will fall and you will lose both your home and the Light. The enemy is stronger and more determined than any threat Earth has faced before.
There is no bigger threat than an adversary with faith. Ghaul believes he and his Red Legion are the true inheritors of the Light. He feels the Traveler made a mistake choosing humanity (and robots and Exos) to be the Guardians. Now, he is coming to take back what he feels is rightfully his.
Ghaul and the Red Legion surprise and overwhelm the Guardians and the Tower's defenses, making embarrassingly easy work of the last safe haven on Earth. The fight is fierce, but in the end, the Red Legion are too powerful. The Tower falls and the Traveler is captured. You will lose everything.
Destiny 2 is about how you overcome tremendous adversity and prove you are worthy. It is time to prove why you deserve the Light and why you are the Traveler's Guardians.
"Homecoming," Destiny 2's first mission, is a wonderful opening salvo for what's to come in the game's story mode, or at least the promise of what's to come.
Gameplay feels the same: shoot a bunch of mobs while grabbing loot and ammo as you proceed from checkpoint to check oint. While it feels very similar to what we know Destiny to be, there are subtle improvements, such as the new weapon loadout system that allows players to use two similar type guns and a power weapon. The inclusion of new ultimates, new weapons and new abilities are where the game sprinkles on cilantro and lime for freshness.
Why Homecoming is exciting is what it means for the cinematic approach to Destiny 2's story missions. From the outset, the stakes are high. You're the last line of defense for the Tower as the Red Legion ships and foot soldiers are laying waste to everything around you.
It is startling to see this bastion of hope and former hearth turn into a blasted-out ruin. At every turn, you encounter the familiar transformed into a desolate and flaming version of its former glory. The plaza is ablaze and empty except for the enemy foot soldiers and Zavala bravely beating back these ferocious foes.
If Destiny 2 is about a new beginning, there is no bolder statement than to start by destroying the foundation of the first game and its expansions (minus Rise of Iron). In the short opener, there are three times more dramatic and dynamic in-game moments than in the first game's entirety. Whether it is Zavala protecting you with a barrier or Ikora Ray downing an enemy ship single-handedly, Destiny 2 is not leaving story moments to chance.
Homecoming also hedged its bets with a lot more cutscenes. While these often can feel like lazy storytelling, cutscenes are a welcome addition to the series. That's because the main criticism with Destiny was its story felt flat. The addition of more cutscenes will help break up missions and give Destiny 2 more dramatic weight.
Mind the Drills
Much like everything else in Destiny 2, all the elements of the series are getting an overhaul. Strikes are no different. "The Inverted Spire" takes Guardians to a new environment, Nessus. Nessus is bright and covered in vibrant vegetation. It is contrasted against a cold, craggy industrial side. It makes for an eye-catching environment to explore.
"The Inverted Spire" ups the stakes in terms of environmental challenges. A big part of this comes in the form of platforming challenges. These are certainly not new to Destiny, but still could be as clunky and awkward as ever. Playing the strike on PC compounded the issue, with my unease with the WASD movement making my movements imprecise (Destiny's platforming at its worst needs absolutely perfect movements and jumps to succeed).
The stand out environmental feature of the strike is a giant moving drill, which is not just set dressing. The drill can take out you or your teammates if you get too close. What makes the drill even more deadly is having to fight plenty of Red Legion soldiers around it, which turns a normal skirmish into something incredibly precarious.
Despite some awkwardness with the excessive platforming sections, "The Inverted Spire" is a great strike. If it is any indication of where strikes are headed in Destiny 2, there will be tougher enemies and bosses and a heavy emphasis on the environments acting as an extra challenge. Bungie has truly built further on what Destiny and its expansions established.
Set the Charge!
Destiny 2's Crucible PVP is getting some major changes, largely to team size. No longer will it consist of two six Guardian Fire Teams facing off. Now, all Crucible matches are four-on-four. This shakes up how matches are played.
In practice, it feels fine, but for hardcore Destiny Crucible players, it might take some time to adjust.
At the event, the new Crucible mode, "Countdown," was available to play. Countdown's conceit is pretty simple: one team "sets the charge" and defends while another tries to defuse it. Successfully setting the charge or defusing it nets teams a point in the first to six match. Of course, wiping out the other team completely results in a point for whichever side successfully does — total domination is more important than any objective.
"Countdown" is a welcome change of pace from prior Crucible modes. It is more objective based and in many ways feels like a match in Overwatch sans a fifth man. There is a good opportunity in any given round to turn the tide and come back if your team is working well together. It gives the mode a lot of drama and dynamic flow. Much like Overwatch, it'll be tougher to win if you're playing with random players.
We'll see how four-on-four matches and any other new modes help shape the new Crucible in Destiny 2, but "Countdown" is a good start.
PC Master Guardian
I played the majority of Destiny 2 on PC, which is an interesting change of pace for me. Moving from a Dualshock 4 to a mouse and keyboard is tough because I am so use to full analog movement, but the more precise aiming feels amazing. PC first-person shooter players will likely transition to the setup with ease.
Destiny 2 looks absolutely gorgeous on PC. With an unlocked frame rate, it moves much quicker than its console counterpart. This will make a huge difference in PVP and bifurcate the competitive base similar to Overwatch. The two will be a completely different class of player and experience.
The only drawback to the PC version — at least in the campaign — is the compression for the cinematics. Cutscenes looked fuzzy and lacked the eye-popping gorgeousness of the in-game graphics during my session. It feels odd considering it shouldn't be an issue. It is an early build, so hopefully it gets straightened out before release.
Room for Hope or Hopeless?
What Bungie showed of Destiny 2 so far is very promising. Nothing radically shifts the paradigm, but it refines and evolves what people love about Destiny while addressing its shortcomings. How profound these changes will be in the final product remains to be seen.
Right now, Destiny 2 seems to be making moves in the right direction. Perhaps like the Guardians themselves, it took significant losses and a fresh start for the series to achieve its full potential.

tool functions do not work.
I can open Inkscape but when I click on tool icons, the icon comes up but will not function. Also, can not import old svg files (window says failed to load document) that I did earlier into inkscape. Can import bmps.
Inkscape worked fine for a while then I started having problems. I removed it from programs then reinstalled it. Tool functions worked for a while (though I still could not import old svg files) then they stopped working.

Can you provide some more information for us?
What version of inkscape are you using?
What operating system are you using?
Also, screenshots and or screencasts of the behaviour are always helpful
|pat gibbs (patgb) said :
I think it is 0.45.1
I use Windows XP
I don't know how to do the third request.
I removed the program after I asked the question (#22454) and then downloaded it again.
It worked for a while then the same thing happened. So, I repeated the procedure again and as of right now, it's working...except it still will not load my old svg files I created earlier on Inkscape.
|Bryce Harrington (bryce) said :
I don't understand what you mean by, "I click on tool icons, the icon comes up but will not function". Can you please clarify?

i having a problem that seems similar to the issue described by pat gibbs... specifically, i select a tool to use (e.g., ellipse), then drag the chosen tool within the document... but nothing seems to happen. for example, i try to draw with the pencil tool, but no line is created... i try to draw a spiral, but no spiral is created... the layer is not locked. the problem started with 0.45.1 so i uninstalled 0.45.1 and installed 0.46 in its place. and i'm using windows xp...
thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.
|ani (njani) said :
quick follow-up:
i found the problem i was experiencing was not with inkscape... rather, i needed to replace my mouse... (just f.y.i.)
|Donawanda (donnazed1) said :
I am having the same problem, I can click on the toolbox, however I can't draw anything. I have replaced the batteries in my mouse.
|braynpower (bryan-morris) said :
You could try this:
Goto Inkscape setup (Shift+Ctrl+P), select the Mouse options, and uncheck "use pressure sensitive tablet".... Restart Inkscape. It worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, I'm sorry. I have absolutely no idea what it could be otherwise.... Good luck! I was frustrated by this problem for quite some time, which led me to stop using the program. wasn't too happy, but now it's all good again, i'm happy, well as happy as someone who has to work for a living but hey... could be worse.
|bacc (sesapj) said :
I want to thank you very much for posting this. braynpower's solution worked.
I think that the developers should have that box UNchecked by default.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask pat gibbs for more information if necessary.

Georgetown University will recruit descendants of slaves sold in 1838 to enroll as students
The descendants of slaves whose sale benefited Georgetown University will be actively recruited by the prestigious institution and given preferential treatment in the admissions process.
The 272 men, women and children were sold by two priests in 1838, who used the money to pay off debts at the Jesuit university. Recent revelations about the transaction have prompted student protests and an internal investigation of the role slavery played in Georgetown's history.
The findings were unveiled on Thursday, along with several steps the university plans to take.
A memorial will be erected on campus and a building re-named in memory of a slave named Isaac who was part of the 1838 sale, President John DeGioia announced.
Another building will named for Marie Becraft Hall, who founded a school for black girls in Washington.
The two buildings originally honoured Thomas Mulledy and William McSherry, two former Georgetown presidents who helped organise the sale, which raised the equivalent of $3.3 million (£2.5 million).
In addition, a centre for the study of slavery will be established.
The new policies will also see the university reach out to recruit young people whose ancestors were shipped off to southern plantations as a result of the sale by the university. They will be given the same preferential treatment that the children and grandchildren of alumni receive.
The New York Times traced the descendants of one such slave, Cornelius Hawkins, earlier this year.
Hawkins was 13 years old at the time of the sale. Maxine Crump, his great-great-granddaughter, lives in Louisiana not far from the plantation where he was forced to work.
Ms Crump was supportive of the idea that the university should recruit other descendants as students.
Georgetown, which is perched on a hill above the Potomac River in an exclusive district of Washington, was built largely with slave labour.
But the decision to sell so many slaves at once, and send them to an area of the country with a particularly brutal reputation, was controversial even at the time. Rev Mulledy, then Georgetown's president, was called to Rome and removed from his post after the sale.
Soon after, Pope Gregory XVI banned Catholics from taking part in the slave trade "no matter what pretext or excuse".
Georgetown is one of several prominent US universities with historical ties to slavery.
Drew G Faust, president of Harvard, wrote in March that the university had been "directly complicit" in slavery during the 16th and 17th centuries.
At the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819, a series of unmarked graves were found in 2012 that appeared to be the final resting places of 67 slaves.

Simple custom site design. Hosting included.
Dated interface. Most interactive features require other CoffeeCup products. Too many options involve procuring additional CoffeeCup apps.
Bottom Line
If you need a site that goes beyond the cookie-cutter layouts you'll find in Google Sites or Webs.com, CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer is a simple, inexpensive option.
With the recent release of the Adobe Muse beta visual site designer, we decided to take a look at other WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) options. CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer comes from a company that's been doing visual site design for 16 years, and, though the interface looks a bit dated, the CoffeeCup site-building software is easy to use. It also lets you create a truly custom result, unlike what you get with completely template-driven site builders such as Apple iWeb ($49, 4.0 stars), Homestead, or Google Sites. Read on to see if this tried-and-true site builder meets your needs.
Similar Products
Signup and Setup
You can download a full-feature trial version that expires in 21 days, and after that it's $49. On Windows 7, I had to reinstall the app using recommended OS settings as suggested by an OS dialog, since it was designed for earlier OS versions. After this it was smooth sailing. The app is only available for Windows; Mac and Linux users must look elsewhere (Muse works on all thre platforms). When you first launch the app, you'll see the small Tip of the Day box, in which you can page through future and previous tips, or just dismiss it and get going.
The CoffeeCup app has the look of an earlier XP-style application, but large toolbar buttons across the top and left rail make getting to the functions you need pretty easy. The interface isn't broken down into major steps for planning, designing, previewing, and publishing the way Adobe Muse's is, but it's not a big hindrance to your process. The lack of a Plan view, however, means you can't build a tree view of your pages to set up navigation unless you download a separate Site Mapper program. CoffeeCup also doesn't use the concept of master pages to base more pages on, but it does let you add a duplicate page.
The left rail offers drawing and text tools, and other objects you can insert on your page, such as Flash elements you've created in other CoffeeCup apps. Along the top you'll find large buttons to customize objects you've added with links, styles, buttons, mouseovers. You'll also find buttons for adding and removing pages, previewing, and publishing. The CoffeeCup interface also lacks Muse's rulers, something professional designers may miss. You can, however, overlay a grid on your page design area to help align objects, though you don't get Muse's helpful guides that appear when you move an object into alignment.
Building a Website
The program includes 10 built-in themes, but you can download more online for $9 apiece. Those you'll find on the free online site builder Webs.com are just as well designed, but you can't move parts around and resize them as freely as you can in CoffeeCup. The CoffeeCup designs professional looking and well designed. I wish a larger view of the themes was viewable in the program when you're choosing one, however, as you can in Webs; Webs also has a larger choice for free. Muse has no themes yet, so CoffeeCup has it beat for now in that way.
After choosing a template theme, or not, you can start inserting elements onto your pages. When I based a test site on a theme, the Home button was selected and a tooltip asked me to associate the button with a page in my site. I could create more buttons out of any object on my page, and even have different text and styles appear when the site viewer hovers his or her mouse over them.
I could add shapes, text, and images anywhere on the page, using buttons on the left sidebar. You can tweak parameters for each item added by pressing the Object button at top center, which pops open a properties dialog. Settings include size (but not position), button text, font, and alternate text. Two more buttons control fill color, image use, a gradient option. I could also add effects like shadow, bevel, and glow to page objects. A color dropper lets you match objects' colors, and you can choose which shows on top of which with the Arrange menu option. With Photoshop chops behind it, though, Adobe offers more control over these effects.

3 Ways to Manage the Transition to Spring
I really love springtime. It's warm, there are flowers and sunshine, the days are longer, and it just makes me smile. However, it's not all birdsong and cherry blossoms–as many of us know, spring can also be a volatile season. Some people find that if they don't make an effort to adjust to the changing seasonal energy they can experience some unpleasant symptoms, such as:
- anxiety,
- frustration,
- irritability,
- depression,
- headaches,
- menstrual cramps.
I offer you a few of my go-to practices for managing the transition through spring.
Get up and move in the springtime!
One of my favorite ways to harmonize with the upward and outward energy of spring is to begin to bring in more movement and exercise into my routine. It's natural for our bodies to turn inward and slow down during the cold winter months, but the winds of spring urge us to stretch out wide and get our hearts pumping. Over the past few days, this has resulted in several spontaneous solo dance parties in my apartment and a surprising enthusiasm for jumping jacks.
I LOVE cupping! I get regular cupping treatments at our clinic year-round for muscle aches and pains, but I find additional benefits to cupping throughout the spring. It improves the circulation in my body and helps keep me feeling physically and emotionally relaxed. It also speeds up my recovery time when I inevitably overdo it on the springtime exercise excitement. Our clinic here in Washington DC offers stationary cupping sessions as well as cupping massage sessions.
Create and Initiate
Spring is the time to move up and out with our ideas as well. I always feel an intense push to action in the springtime, like I'm strategizing my plan of attack on life and beginning to follow through with the first steps. It's the season pull up all those plans and ruminations from the winter months, lay them out, and set them into motion. I've begun this process recently by skimming through my journal from the past year and pulling out ideas, goals, and challenges. Next steps will be to sift through them, prioritize, and then get moving!

Do you have a fear of getting lost in one of the largest cities in the world simply because you are still learning the native language? It can be scary learning how to ride public transit while also learning English in New York City. However, if you follow these tips, you will learn how to ride public transit as easily as the natives do.
Get Familiar
First, you need to familiarize yourself with the different modes of transportation, and how to refer to them in English and the local dialect. The are several ways to get around New York. You can get almost anywhere on the subway, or as the locals call it, "the train." If you are learning English in New York City, these are distinctions you need to know, so you don't confuse the subway with the railroad.
Fares, Schedules, and Systems
You should have no problems looking up the fares and schedules for trains and buses once you have mastered numerals. Many languages even use the same number system with different names for the numerals. However, if the symbols for numerals in your native language are different than those used in English, consider learning these before you do anything further.
Afterward, research the details, such as: how subway tokens and bus transfers work, whether there are local and express bus services, and if there are on- and off-peak trains.
Learn Simple Transit Phrases, Directions, and Street Names
Make sure you are able to ask, "How do you get to (blank)?" and recognize phrases used in public transit like, "take the bus" and "wait for the train." Mastering the present tense of a verb and being able to conjugate it will help immensely.
For example:
– I ride
– You ride
– He rides
– She rides
– We ride
– They ride
Also, learn to read and write major street names in your neighborhood and identify names of buildings, landmarks, and community destinations in case you need to ask directions or ask someone which subway or bus to take.
Getting around while learning English in New York City can be an interesting experience. Whether by taxi, bus, train, or subway, as an ESL student, you will quickly learn many new words and phrases just by traveling.

Question for you..
Can you honestly say you are able to distinguish between your true desires and inherited desires? For many of us, our satisfaction, validation and success is so enmeshed in how others see us. If so, then can we really call ourselves authentic and true to ourselves? Some people will argue that conformism is an inevitable aspect of life but then I do have to question why many people are conflicted between these two parts. In my counselling experience, I have found this conflict to be a major source of pain and frustration for many who feel unable to express themselves authentically, to go against the norm and stand out from the crowd, rather than fit in. There are those who all their lives have lived by standards of others and followed the crowd, totally oblivious and unaware that they can choose their own path if they learned to look within. Yet they too face conflicts and struggles although they might not consciously know why, until they begin to explore and unpack.
As usual I like to relate my thoughts back to my own story and I have so many to tell. So here goes…
How I ditched Authenticity for a Pair of Uggs
Every day I am bombarded with ideas which I have to fight off because they are not mine and do not reflect me. Even the simple petty little things like choice of clothes and shoes.
I remember about 7 years ago, being in a shoe shop and fighting what now seems like a childish inner conflict. I had gone to buy a pair of UGG boots, which was the trend at the time. In the same store I saw very similar pair of sheepskin boots which looked everything like the UGG pair, except they were just under £100 less and were a less known brand. I actually preferred the colour of the less expensive boots and definitely liked the fact that they weren't as pricey. Yet what should have been a quick and easy decision turned into a good hour of agonising. What was I agonising about? How others would perceive me if I wore the less expensive pair? Would they think I was cheap or poor? Unable to afford the well-known brand? Wearing UGGs seemed to portray success and stylishness far more than the other brand. I went back and forth in my head (poor retail assistant!) until I finally decided I was being silly and purchased the less well-known brand. Guess What? I could never wear those boots without feeling inferior, inadequate (sad right?) in the end I gladly gave them away and went and purchased my desired UGGs (sucker!!).
All is not lost! I reclaimed Authenticity at the airport
Okay so that was at least 7 years ago and I have come a long way since, I am so much more self-aware and courageous to not depend on people's opinions. But that does not mean I don't struggle with the same conflicts. I remember back in 2014, at Johannesburg airport, on my way back to the UK, I decided to buy a pair of sunglasses. After trying a number of designer brands which honestly were really flashy, expensive and not even to my taste or style, I found a gorgeous pair with orange and blue strips on the sides and just suited my face. I loved them. I was like "Yes, I want these ones" and was even more pleased when the attendant told me the price. Only snag though, they weren't quite as well known a brand. For a split second the same thought I had with the UGG boots situation began to resurface. But this time I was able to quickly give me a good kick up the bum, Nigerian style."My friend, will you move from here and go and buy the glasses!! Nonsense!!"
What does being Authentic look like for me now?
It really is about being courageous enough to choose what I intuitively feel is the right path for me, without fearing rejection or isolation for being different.

The Event
Steve Jobs
02 April 2012
Steve Jobs created Apple. He gave the world the iPad, the Mac, and the iPhone. He was also an eccentric who was capable of bursting into tears when he didn't get what he wanted, or of refusing to wear a hospital mask because its design offended him. In his phenomenal biography of Jobs, Walter Isaacson gives us a portrait of a genius who defined our time. Join us for an evening with a man who is himself something of a legend: former editor of Time, former head of CNN, current director of the Aspen Institute, and bestselling author.
Moderator: Tracy Metz
In cooperation with Unieboek Het Spectrum
Online booksale and discount by Athenaeum
The Speaker
Walter Isaacson (born May 20, 1952) is an American writer and biographer. He is the President and CEO of the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, D.C. He has been the Chairman and CEO of CNN and the Managing Editor of Time. He has written biographies of Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Henry Kissinger.

Glider through Arctic and Atlantic water masses on the coast of Svalbard
An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), which looks a bit like the submarine from the Beatles song "Yellow submarine" will investigate the water masses along the coast of Svalbard. It will log temperature, salinity and fluorescence in Arctic and Atlantic water masses from the surface down to 700 m depth. This is a unique project which will acquire large amounts of new data from the water masses on the coast of Svalbard.
Oceanographers have shown that cold water masses move northward on the shelf along the west coast, whereas warmer Atlantic water in the West Spitsbergen Current goes outside the shelf edge on its way north in Fram Strait. These water masses mix and are carried into the open fjords on the west side of Spitsbergen, such as Kongsfjorden which will be particularly studied during this cruise by the Norwegian Polar Institute with RV Lance.
During the last decade, since 2006, more Atlantic water has entered Kongsfjorden during the winter, which has resulted in weaker fronts between Arctic and Atlantic water masses on the shelf, and warmer water and less landfast ice inside the fjord. This has affected the ecosystem in Kongsfjorden, with higher relative abundance of boreal, more southern species, and less Arctic species in the fjord.
The Glider Sea Explorer was deployed on 25 July outside Prins Karls Forland. It has a long antenna that sends data via iridium and it is programmed to dive to near bottom or to maximum 700 m depth. It has a GPS antenna and a compas and is steered along a track from the shelf to deeper sea in a zig-zag pattern along the coast. The Glider will be picked up at the end of our cruise somewhere near the north-western corner of Spitsbergen.
The Sea Explorer glider is from University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) and has been deployed in collaboration with Dr. Arild Sundfjord and Dr. Amelie Meyer at the Norwegian Polar Institute. Zoe Koenig, UPMC is the participant of the cruise responsible for the glider.
At the glacial front in Kongsfjorden, 28 July, 2017. Cruise Leader Haakon Hop, Norwegian Polar Institute

In 1998, I co-founded Handshake.com, a marketplace that connected buyers and sellers for all sorts of services – from carpet cleaners to auto repair shops. Since Handshake came and went with the go-go days of the late 90s, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the mechanics of such marketplaces. Today's online service marketplaces have been generally more successful than our foray. Recently, I tried a few to help with the construction of Founder Collective's new office at 27th St in NYC.
First, I used TheSweeten, a site that matches projects with contractors/architects. I posted images of our current space and a crude mock-up of the build-out I envisioned. I received 3 bids from vetted contractors and ultimately selected one of them. We then needed furniture moved from our Cambridge office, so I hired a Taskrabbit to bring it to NYC. Once the build-out was complete, I used Handybook to schedule and coordinate a plumber to fix an old water purifier and a handyman to assemble IKEA furniture. And last and most importantly, we hosted our kick-off party with catering from Kitchensurfing (a portfolio company). These services aren't yet one-click and done, but they have come a long way in making it easier to coordinate moves, construction, catering and transportation.
Last week, at an ERA event, I was asked to share my lessons learned about these types of marketplaces. Here's what I said:
1) Pick a vertical, not many – One of the mistakes we made at Handshake was that we offered every service we could find in the yellow pages. However, we spent way too much time and money marketing the idea of an online service marketplace. If you're trying to create a national brand, it's hard enough to get consumers to keep you in mind for a particular service, let alone many.
2) Control the money flow Much of the frustration around hiring service providers stems from challenges making payments(many want cash or don't accept credit cards), whether to pay a deposit, and how much to tip. Additionally, if the marketplace doesn't hold the money, it is far too easy for the service provider and customer to work around the system, and avoid fees or commission. If the marketplace isn't stepping into the money flow, it's likely because it's not creating enough value for both customer and supplier.
3) Delight both customer and supplier (but hold each accountable). Uber (also a portfolio company) does a fantastic job of this. The app knows where I am and where the cars are. Its just two clicks to call a car, my credit card is on file and there's no tipping. But I'm most impressed (and surprised) by the driver's reactions. They love the fact that they can rate me (1 to 5 stars) … the customer!

Should the light leave
My line of sight
And I lost my
Sense of seeing
My life would be
A thing of fright.
If the moon that is in the sky
Should disappear from my eye
The earth would become
A darksome kingdom.
If what I hear
Should disappear
The silent sound
Would quite resound.
If I lost my sense of touch
I would not feel very much.
Let me embrace this life
And not this kind of strife.

I've come back home already from a little trip with my friends. I was in a small town situated at the lake.
This place has something magical in it. It's not a beautiful place with beautiful buildings, pretty parks and
a big shop centre. There are old ruins, small lakes with small piers, spaces for campfire, forest and cycling routes. It's perfect place to rest and think. I rode a bike, read a book, cooked, watched some silly movies and walked a lot. I was little sad lately so this was escape from reality. I made some difficult decisions and tried to relax as best as possible. Even though i liked that place, i'm glad i'm back in my soft bed, with my bunny and family. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, it's a pity.

By Danielle Douglass and Neal Iwamoto
In an earlier post, we highlighted the BOSU ball. Now it's time to look at the Swiss ball. The Swiss ball is actually not Swiss at all. It was invented in Italy in the early 1960s by a plastics manufacturer named Aquilino Cosani. It was originally a toy, called the Pezzi Ball. Physical therapists in Europe initially used the ball as a tool for treating patients with neuromuscular disorders like multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal inquires.
The term "Swiss ball" was given by American physical therapists when they started witnessing techniques that were beneficial in Switzerland. The ball has since been coined with a variety of names, including stability ball, yoga ball, and balance ball. Swiss balls are beneficial to fitness routines because they improve core stability, help with posture, increase the number of muscles engaged, and support the lower back.
Fo Real Fitness caught up with personal trainer and strength conditioning coach Tim Rabetoy to show us some effective Swiss ball exercises for any fitness level and routine. Here are the three moves he taught us and our reviews of each.
Exercise 1: Basic crunch
Level: Beginner
Muscle target: Upper andmiddle abdominals
How-to: Sit on the middle of the Swiss ball then walk your feet out until the ball is in the middle to lower portion of your back. Put your hands behind your head to support your neck, then come up straight towards the ceiling, crunching your abdominals, before coming back down in a controlled manner. Breathe out on the way up, breathe in on the way down.
Dani says: I liked the Swiss ball because it makes you focus on your form. When you do crunches on flat ground, often times you're disengaging the core when you come back to the ground. Using the Swiss ball for crunches make it impossible to "cheat" as your core is engaged the entire time.
Neal says: When I think Swiss ball, this is what I think of first. It's almost a required exercise. It's simple and efficient. Done properly, the abs are isolated and there's absolutely no wasted movement.
Exercise 2: Hamstring Curl
Level: Intermediate
Muscle target: hamstrings, glutes, lower trunk
How-to: Lie on your back and put your feet on the center of the ball with your legs extended. Keep your head and your hands on the ground, lift yourself up as high as you can, and bring your belly button up to the ceiling. Point your toes towards you and keep them there so you're pulling with your heels. Pull the ball in as far as you can, then slowly push the ball back, while keeping the belly as high as you can through the duration.
Dani says: I really like this one because it forces you to engage your core and glutes as you hold the bridge position. I can definitely feel this one working my hamstrings with each repetition. This is a great exercise to add to the days you work legs and core.
Neal says: The biggest challenge for me is keeping my feet in the proper position and from sliding off the ball. This is an unusual exercise for legs, but I could definitely feel it in my hamstrings. I'll keep this one in the toolbox.
Exercise 3: Atomic crunch
Level: Advanced
Muscle target: Lower abdominals
How-to: To get yourself in the starting position, put one knee on the ball, put your hands on the floor, then bring the other leg on the ball. Roll out so that your legs are straight. Hold on to the ball with your toes. Pull the ball in as far as you can, then roll back out straight.
Dani says: I'm a klutz, so this one was difficult for me. I tired numerous times to hold my posture and was able to pull a couple of them off. I don't think I'll add this one to my routine though because I spent more time focusing on my balance and not falling to the side of the ball!
Neal says: The key to doing this is slow controlled movement and making sure you don't crunch your knees too far in. It definitely feels less awkward if you do crunches on a Roman chair or on TRX straps, but I guess feeling awkward is what a Swiss ball is about. The less awkward it becomes, the more progress you're making.

Unfortunately, due to the horribly managed Federal budget the Constellation program is on the chopping block. President Obama, in an effort to decrease costs by refocusing NASA and trimming fat, has proposed cutting the entire Constellation program but appears now to have been talked down to just the crew launch vehicle, Ares I. This sounds horrible but I'm not sure it's the death knell for manned space exploration that it sounds.
First, listening to congressional budget appropriation hearings on the matter on C-SPAN Radio (watch), I get the impression that there's strong bi-partisan support to keep the program. They may have to find the funding from somewhere but Congress might just be willing to do that. NASA's Administrator Charles Bolden was subjected to a grilling by senators of both parties as to how cancelling Constellation would benefit anyone. In particular, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Alabama), delivered a passionate address in defense of the Constellation program. Sure, he's a bellicose under-educated buffoon with a penchant for hyperbole and partisan politics, but he totally came out in support of a program that many of us, more scientifically-minded Americans, would like to see continue. He's probably doing it to try to preserve jobs at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and to some extent, out of a Cold War era mentality of American Exceptionalism and fear-driven military posturing (he made a point that Ares and our ICBM's are the only solid-fuel systems we have). I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though because, in this one instance, he's advocating expenditure I'm in favor of, though for totally different reasons. I almost pulled a "W" and choked on my pretzel when he declaimed against "faith-based" space policy though. Yes, do tell Sen. Shelby, what is wrong with faith as a method for setting government policy? You seem to be in favor of it when determining reproductive rights, for example.
Second, assuming Ares I is really a goner, there are a couple of available operational launch systems developed by other space agencies that appear to have the lifting capacity to get Constellation's crew vehicle, Orion, to the moon. Ares I's payload to Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) is 25,400 kg. That's how much it could lift up to the International Space Station, for example. The European Space Agency's Ariane 5 has a payload to LEO of 21,000 kg, the Russians have a launch system called Proton that has a payload to LEO of 21,600 kg, and NASA itself still has the Delta IV with a payload to LEO of 22,950 kg. I suspect each of these systems could be used as a launch vehicle for the Orion crew capsule, although I don't have any idea how expensive a project it would be to make that happen. Hell, revive the Saturn V program; it had a perfect safety record of 11 successful launches, and has more than enough thrust to do the job. It's already proven it can get to the Moon after all. It may be 60 year old technology but it works.
While the Ares program may represent a much needed update of solid-fuel rocket systems that provide the heavy-lift capabilities we need to explore beyond LEO, its possible cancellation doesn't appear to be the absolute dead-end that many people are representing it as. Besides the "new" mission of NASA does have some nifty stuff in it that will stand a better chance of success if it gets properly funded and not starved out by the larger, sexier manned spaceflight program.

This is Italdesign's bespoke 205mph supercar
Carbon-bodied V10 limited edition launches a new supercar brand into the world. Like it?
The Italian styling house Italdesign (love a literal name, the Italians) is launching a new limited edition car brand at this year's Geneva motor show, called Italdesign Automobili Speciali. Yup, they do like a straightforward name. Here, you're looking at their debut effort: a new 205mph, carbon-bodied supercar. Strictly, it doesn't have its own name yet – perhaps you'd like to suggest some below. What we do have are the stats.
Powered by a 5.2-litre V10 of suspected Audi R8 origin (Italdesign was bought out by the VW Group in 2015), the car gets from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and goes on to top the double-ton. The Lamborghini Centenario-esque, full carbon fibre bodywork (based on an aluminium and CF chassis) is just under five metres long and 1970mm wide, and of course, there's plenty of Italdesign flamboyance in the lines.
"Above the tornado line, outlines are distinctly softer and smoother in keeping with the Italian Gran Turismo tradition," Italdesign tells us. "The lower part is modelled from aerodynamics. To achieve the performances we had in mind, we had to dare beyond all limits from styling and even purely technical points of view. The outcome ensures extremely high impact without ever being design for design's sake." Couldn't have put it better ourselves.
Only five of these cars will ever be built, towards the end of 2017, and unusually for a high-performance piece of unobtanium, there's no mention in Italdesign's news release of them all being sold yet. These things are potentially still up for grabs. For rather more than the £135,000 an Audi R8 V10 Plus sets you back, we suspect. You're going to need to add a zero to that figure, at least…

Though there were no major elections held this year, 2013 still turned out to be one of the more eventful years in recent political memory. Between the government shutdown and the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, there was certainly no shortage of major political news. There were plenty of political losers. But there were also plenty of winners. Take a look at who qualified for our winners' circle below.
The de Blasio Family
Just five months ago New York City's current public advocate was trailing in fourth place in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. What a difference a few months can make. Now de Blasio is gearing up to be sworn in as New York City's next mayor. De Blasio soared on the strength of his strong stance against the city's racially inflammatory stop-and-frisk policy and his telegenic multiracial family, including his African-American wife, Chirlane McCray, and his son, Dante, who starred in what is widely considered one of the most effective ads in recent political memory. De Blasio's family has been widely covered beyond New York media, in part because they represent America's multiracial future.

Deputy Governor of Lagos State Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire has said the state will leave nothing to chance in ensuring that Hamzat Afeez, who allegedly raped a three-year old girl (names withheld) on Remi Ogunjimi Street, Egbeda area of the state will face the full wrath of the law.
She stated that the suspect who was on bail had been re-arrested and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID Yaba.
[caption id="attachment_3849" align="alignnone" width="250"] Orelope-Adefulire[/caption]
Special Adviser to the Deputy Governor on Media, Tunde Abatan, said Orelope-Adefulire had already sent a delegation to the Gowon Estate Police Station to verify the report and visit the victim.
The delegation was made up of officials from the Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and Office of the Public Defender, OPD.
According to Abatan "The state government has intervened in the matter to make sure that justice is served, the deputy governor sent a delegation to the Gowon Estate Police Station and they also visited the victim's parents."
In a separate interview, the Director of OPD, Omotola Rotimi, who was part of the delegation, said the state would be taking over the case to ensure the matter was diligently prosecuted.
She said: "We have investigated the case and the state is taking it over. We will be working with the police to make sure it is diligently prosecuted. We have also visited the parents of the girl."
The Executive Director of a Non-Governmental Organisation, Project Alert on Violence against Women, Mrs. Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, criticised the attempt by the police to turn the case against the parents of the victim.
She said the police lied that the victim's father, Okechukwu collected N40, 000 to settle with the suspect, whereas it was an arrangement the station foisted on him.
"The police lied to the officials of the state government that the father of the victim collected money from the suspect and did not show interest in prosecuting the case. The state government had ordered that their two children be taken into custody, until we explained the true position of things to the officials. The act was committed on 13 December and by 17 December, the police released the suspect on bail when they knew the stance of the state government on rape. Even the victim's father said the money was first given to the police," Effah-Chukwuma alleged.
Effah-Chukwuma said after she listened to three-year-old Chinansa's account, she was left in shock.
"Even the Assistant Commissioner of Police at the SCID was dismayed and almost fell from his chair. It was terrible. We have advised the couple to relocate temporarily from the area for their safety and that of their children," she added.
