Shortcrust Pastry
Suitable for large or small pies, either sweet or savoury.
8 oz flour, giving 131/2 oz pastry
8 oz plain flour
2 oz white lard
2 oz hard margarine
Half teasp salt
About 2 tbsp cold water
Put the plain flour, white lard, margarine and salt in the processor.
Process briefly, until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Now gently add the water while processing, until the mixture forms a soft, not sticky, dough ball.
Wrap in foil and allow resting in the fridge for 30 minutes. (It will stay in the fridge quite happily overnight).
Roll out the pastry on a floured board.
This mix will line a 9" pie dish, with enough over to make a simple lattice top.
Alternatively, it will line about 6 x 4" foil pie cases, allowing about 2 oz pastry for each.
Sweet Pastry
Just the job for making delicious flan cases for:
Lemon Meringue Pie, Pastry Cream and fruit, mincemeat,
or anything else that takes your fancy!
Makes 2 x 8" flan cases
3 oz margarine
2 oz caster sugar
1 egg
8 oz self-raising flour
a pinch of salt
Mix by the rubbing-in method, or use the food processor.
Penguin Cookery Book suggests you knead to work in any loose flour, and avoid adding water.
Kenwood recommend mixing half the flour with the margarine first using the K beater until creamy, adding the remaining flour and the salt for the last 30 seconds. They bind their mixture with a little water.
Press the pastry into a ball, and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface with firm, even strokes.
Line your flan tin with the pastry, and bake blind if necessary.
Quick Flaky Pastry
8 oz plain flour
6 oz hard margarine

With a palette knife, make cuts across the mixture, turning the bowl. Work quickly.
Turn onto a floured board, and shape lightly into a brick shape.
Make 3 depressions widthways to trap air, and roll into an oblong 13" by 8".
Fold one third over into the centre, then the other third over that.Use the rolling pin to trap air. Rest for 5 minutes.
Make a ¼ turn with the pastry, then repeat the depressions and folding.
Do this 3 more times.
Wrap in foil or plastic and chill (preferably overnight).
Allow to reach room temperature before using.

I'm incredibly grateful that I've been able to travel so much this year. I'm further grateful that I actually love to travel- it's something that came to me late in life. I used to be terrified of flying and pretty unadventurous in general. One thing I appreciate about growing older is that I've become so much more open to new experiences. Some of that is due to an increase in confidence, and some of that is due to a better ability to separate needless fears from legitimate concerns. But so much of the credit for my evolution into a travel loving person is due to Benjy. I was always the type of person to sit around and think "It would be fun to go to XYZ..." but would never go without someone to give me a push in that direction. Benjy loves to travel and was just the person I needed to give me that push. He's also incredibly fun to travel with- his companionship makes the trips we go on together a joy and has helped me establish enough positive connotations to combat any fear I have of traveling alone.
Just one of the many reasons I am so supremely lucky. :)
The picture of us below was taken in Arizona at Christmas. Most of our recent pictures together were taken at arm's length- I thought this one was a bit nicer. :)
In other news, after 4 or 5 long years, my trusty point and shoot Cannon has bitten the dust. Can anyone recommend a nice compact camera?

It is spoken, in ancient prophecy, of the existence of a being embodying true balance. It's said that, every millennia, this godlike being graces our unworthy eyes by assuming a human form, yet this façade is never enough to conceal its glory. While such a story is controversial within the scientific community, it is indisputable amongst believers that this epitome of form already lives alongside us, and it goes by the name… Mark Mockett.
Ask anyone who's been honored by Mark's presence, and they'll spin tales of impossible tasks. Every day, Mark arises with the Sun and sleeps at the scientifically optimal time (to the jealousy of many an MIT student), as his own circadian rhythm governs the flow of heavenly bodies themselves. The Sun's very trajectory aligns with his schedule for perfect exercise, both mentally in class and physically in the gym. Traveling throughout campus, Mark sings with a touch of heaven and listeners ascend to a new plane of enlightenment, objectively defined as the most pleasure a human can possibly experience (like having your brain enveloped by the love of grandma's cookies infused with the benevolence of Netflix).
While his praises may not be sung by scientists, Mark has decided to find acceptance amongst believers in the MIT Logs, in order to further spread his word of balance and make the world a better place through music.

Sarracenia x mitchelliana (S-VC) Potted
Sarracenia x mitchelliana is a cross between Sarracenia purpurea and Sarracenia leucphylla. These colorful, ruffled pitchers show off some of the best features of both plants!
Care Instructions
Sun: Full sun outdoors
Water: Always sitting in at least two inches of distilled or purified water, they prefer deep saucers of water or undrained containers in order to recreate their very water logged conditions
Temperature: 15 degrees - 100 degrees, needs protection from colder winters and always keep very wet when hot
Dormancy: All Sarracenia require a winter dormancy starting in October and ending in February. Many of the pitchers will turn brown and die back during this time. Leave them outdoors in full sun, sitting in distilled water during this period. If you live in an area that snows; over winter them indoors on a sunny windowsill in an unheated room or garage. Still sitting in full sun and distilled water.

Table of Contents
Formatting and Arrays
The Format$ function converts values into strings according to certain fixed patterns or according to patterns you provide. The syntax is:
Visual Basic shares code through
To use a custom control, you must place the control's VBX file in the System folder of Windows. Visual Basic will add the filename to the project file list that is displayed in the Project Window. You can place procedures you want available to more than one form in a code module.
The scope of a variable is determined by its visibility and lifetime. Visibility is a question of what procedures can use (or "see") a variable. The lifetime of a variable depends on whether the value of the variable is available apart from the limited lifetime of an event procedure. A variable declared and used in one event procedure is not available in another. Variables declared in the form module are available to all event procedures within the form. Variables declared with the Global statement in a code module are available to any form in the project and its event procedures.
A static variable, declared within van event procedure, isn't available to other procedures, but its value does persist beyond the end of the procedure in which it is declared. When the procedure is reentered, the static variable is there, with its old value, available for use.
The Option Explicit statement is entered in the general declarations section of either a form module or a code module. By using this statement, you require that each variable be declared before use.
You use arrays so that you can save a list of values. The list has a single name. Each element of the list has a unique whole number subscript. For instance, an array of names can be declared as follows:
Another way to declare the same array:
The first characters of the name, gstr, shows the data type of the variable. The prefix g indicates the variable is global; the str shows that the variable contains strings.
The blackslash (\) operator divides two numbers and gives the whole number result.
Prompt is a string containing the instruction to the user. Caption is the caption of the window. Default Value is a string representing a default value for the variable. If a user presses Enter without changing the default value, this value is assigned to the variable.

About the brand Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder fragrances | Estée Lauder beauty products - This world-renowned brand bears the name of its founder, American Estée Lauder (née Josephine Esther Mentzer) who started out with only four basic products which she sold in New York hotels and beauty salons.
The brand's philosophy is really quite simple - any woman can look amazing. However, for Estée it was equally important to show women how to maintain their beauty despite ageing. That's why she employed beauty consultants to teach customers how to take care of their skin. Before long, her company became an international enterprise with products available in more than a hundred countries.
Fragrances, mascaras, foundations and other Estée Lauder products contain luxury ingredients, such as microscopic particles of precious stones. Estée was also the first in the world to discover the beneficial effects of glucosamine on dead skin cells, and many of the brand's technologies have been patented.
Estée Lauder is a very popular brand among celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow or Karen Graham. Customers love especially the Advanced Repair Night treatment, a product that received the Allure Best of Beauty award in 2007 and is to this day the bestselling product of the brand.
Estée Lauder is sure to satisfy anyone who likes treating themselves every day to a little bit of luxury, anyone who desires a youthful, attractive look, and any fan of high-end makeup products.

We pulled into the parking lot of the club, next to what looked like a 1/3 scale replica of the Eiffel tower. It seemed a little out of place, but George assured me that he had the coordinates right. Outland seems like a strange cross between a cheesy gothic nightmare and an overly social Action Sister/Cavern Club rip-off. Gigantic faux boulders, towering crosses and a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't light show dominated the huge, mostly vacant space. The place looked empty, but right away I noticed the abundance of dark corners. Perfect. The moon was full and any vampire in the club could be working for X Control. We loaded in our gear and when Costa and George rolled in they could tell immediately that something was up. The place was filled with dead celebrities. Tupac and Ed Cullen were sharing drinks at the bar. There was a huge Euro-Cross hanging above their heads and everybody looked like variations on a theme. I kept my eyes peeled for the Queen of Crosses. I prayed that she didn't show up tonight. We'd have our hands full with just the locals. Wanda, the bathroom attendant, kept asking to hold M's hand and telling her what "great friends" they were. Yeah Wanda, keep talking. She was lucky she didn't get tazed. She had a heavy case of Benzo breath and there was another smell that I've smelled before. Zombies. Genetic Zombies are the absolute worst. They think they're special. But they really just stink to high heaven and they won't stop talking about themselves. But there were friendly faces too. Jess showed up with her male escort. He looked like he had skills. I was glad to see Jamie and Heather braved the weather and made it out to the show. You could always count on the die-hards to be there. To kill the time before our set, Erin, Jess and I 'got our picture took' at the Champagne Station. Oh the laughter. The Athens wrecking crew was there. The Wright sisters showed up. They all danced while the music played. If they had any hint of the big trouble that might go down at the show, they didn't let on. Sometimes I think the hard-core Earwig fans like it best when it gets dangerous. Maybe I liked it that way too.
I tracked down Mike, the local promoter and told him that we had to go on no earlier than 1 am. Didn't seem like a problem. The opening band was already on stage and there was burlesque dancing in the front room, by the bar. I'll bet you a nickel that the chick from Field Notes will end up playing for Action Sister. I could tell by the way she moved her Mustang that she was going places. I bumped into PJ and the YLM gang at the pool tables. They moonlight as an information collective. PJ gave me a nod and passed me a thumb drive. "This one's on the house.". The drive had intelligence on the X Control agent we were looking for tonight. I jacked in and scanned the new info. It said that she might be one of the dancers.
I love this city. There was a gang fight after the set as we loaded out of the venue. Three different factions were ready to pound it out for control of the block. Butt crackers. It's 2:30 am and they can find the energy to fight, but they can't find the energy to pull their belts tight enough to keep their pants from falling down. I just had to laugh as I knew that they were completely un-aware of what had just transpired on stage that night. Venue security couldn't help but get in on the action outside, chasing the mob around the corner as the red and blue lights arrived on the scene. We just kept our heads down and loaded the amps into the mini van. The last thing I saw was Erin. She was coming back down the street, in the direction of the club. All tired and mascara running, she looked a bit lost actually. She was wearing a shirt that said "I survived the 2012 Earwig Outland show and all I got was a t-shirt that says 'Vaginas Are Forever' ". Nice. And appropriate. As she clutched at her bag a shiny piece of paper dropped from under her arm and gently landed in the street. She smiled, blinking her eyes. I just waved. Costa was already pulling out onto the fresh white snow that blanketed Front street and we were on our way back to Basement Underground. "See you next time." I thought.

Prayer: Holy God, we bow before You today in awe and majesty. We bow before You today in worship. As the Wise Men of old, we lay before You our gifts that You have given to us. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal One, You are our God and we are Your people. Let us rejoice in Your love this day. Amen.
Epiphany is celebrated the Sunday closest to 6 January. This is the day in the Church year when we remember the Wise Men bringing gifts to the infant Christ Child. Tradition states that there were three Wise Men as that was the number of gifts brought to the Infant Christ Child. In our household, we always chuckle and say there were actually four Wise Men. Three Wise Men brought gifts for the Infant and the fourth Wise Man was Presbyterian and didn't believe in the commercialism of buying and giving gifts. :) Bad joke aside, what matters most here isn't the number of Wise Men but their example. From far away, something caught their attention so much that they travelled for miles and days. It was a star in the sky that caught their attention. This star had great meaning for them. They knew that this star was foretold as being the star that would shine in the east to announce the birth of the king of the Jews.
When they found Jesus with his mother Mary at his side. The Wise Men bowed down and worshipped him. Then the Wise Men opened their treasures and presented Jesus with gifts. And what interesting gifts they presented. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. A metal, incense, and an herb. All these are used during times of death to prepare a body for burial. Yet these are also gifts of life and used during the celebrations and ceremonies of the Jewish Calendar.
Put yourself in the foot steps of the Wise Men today. Would you be willing to travel to worship the Christ Child? How dedicated would you be on your journey? As we stand at the beginning of this new year, ponder how we will dedicate this year as a year of journeying in Christ -- in biblical knowledge, in prayer, in worship, in meditation.
What gifts has God given to you that you can share with others this year? How will you continue to develop and share your gifts with others this year?
Prayer: Great God, who by the leading of a star did bring the gift of Your Infant Son to everyone. We thank You that You gave us the example of the Wise men-- of seeking and finding Your Holy Son. May we spend this day pondering on Your Holy Gift and what gifts we have that we can share with others this day and through this year. This we ask in Your Holy Son's name. Amen.

People are so obsessed with buying stuff online these days and there are various types of goods that are being sold online as we speak. A lot of people wish to shop from the comfort of their home. Now there are things to worry about when buying things over the internet. That is to say there some things that you should keep in mind when buying stuff on the internet. When it comes to curtains anyone would usually suggest that you get them from a proper shop as there are so many things that could go wrong when you buy things over the internet. Of course this does not mean that it is impossible to do so. There are so many websites that provide you the service of purchasing them but there are a few things that you need to keep in mind and remember to do properly before you purchase anything.
One of the first things to worry about when buying curtains online is to make sure that what you see in the picture is the real deal. There would have been so many occasions where you bought some piece of clothing and it ended up looking nothing like what it was portrayed to be right ? The risk is about the same even in this situation. So make sure that you check with the seller and see that what is displayed is what you will get. For this purpose it would be best if you could check with friends and family and actually use someone who has been used before. This way the likelihood of you getting ripped off is lower. Many of these sites would have online reviews as well, so remember to check them as well before you pick someone to purchase from.
Another thing when it comes to buying readymade curtains is to keep in mind that you only get to see the final product so make sure that you give all the measurements properly and precisely. Also make sure that you have given them every measurement that they are going to need. Don't leave anything to chance. If you do you could end up with a product that does not quite fit what you desired.
Ordering online of course would give you a lot more selections that you could choose from. In addition that there would also be experts you could contact to even design one for your specifications. All of this are the advantages of opting for buying something over the internet. But of course as I have shown you there are issues that could present themselves to you if you aren't too careful. So remember to check properly and be precise with what you want to so as to avoid the purchasing of bad product.

About Eddy Robinson, Indigenous Speaker, Artist, Musician & Activist
Born to the Missanabie Cree First Nation, but born and raised in Toronto, Eddy Robinson didn't enjoy an easy childhood as an Anishinaabe youth in the big city. His father a Residential School survivor left the family when he was just three years old and he subsequently endured years of abuse from an alcoholic parent. It was during these early years that he was first exposed to a heritage that he now credits with saving his life.
Eventually ending up in the care of his grandparents, Eddy found himself on the same path of violence and addiction that dominated his childhood. He credits a Catholic priest at the Native Peoples Parish In Toronto for first encouraging him to seek out his roots. He pointed Robinson to a traditional Anishinaabe Vision Quest/Fasting ceremony that would begin his journey towards sobriety. The power of the Dewegun (Drum) has opened the door to other aspects of his culture. A member of the Canadian Council of Aboriginal Business (CCAB) Eddy established his First Nations owned and operated business Morningstar River in 2007 to address the societal need for Indigenous education and displays of authentic culture. Eddy is a noted Anishinaabe artist, musician, activist and educator, and is a member of the National Speakers Bureau.

Savoriness of potato tubers
Statistical analysis revealed significant effects of intercrop fertilization and interaction between intercrop fertilization and straw fertilization on savoriness of potato tubers (table17). Intercrop fertilization improved the savoriness of potato tubers in comparison with savoriness of potato tubers harvested from control object. The best savoriness had potato tubers fertilized with white clover, the mixture of white clover with Italian ryegrass, and phacelia both plowed down in the autumn, and left till spring in the form of mulch. Savoriness of potato tubers fertilized with Italian ryegrass did not significantly differ from savoriness of potato tubers fertilized with farmyard manure. There has been an interaction which shows that the best savoriness had potato tubers fertilized with white clover in combination without straw and with straw, and the worst potato tubers from control object.
Shortage of farmyard manure due to the decline in farm animal stocks, low profitability and the rationale for integrated production tend to look for alternative and efficient ways of potato fertilization. The most important here are green fertilizers from undersown crops and stubble crops and straw left on field after cereal harvest. Selection of underplant crops as alternative sources of biomass, dictated the results of Batalina et al. (1968) and Ceglarka (1982). Batalin et al. (1968) initiated studies to evaluate the fertilizer value of underplant crops legumes, and Ceglarek (1982) conducted a thorough research on the determination of yield and chemical composition of crop residues of underplant crops. However Gutmanski et al. (1998) have evaluated the value of fertilizer of oil radish, white mustard and phacelia used in sugar beet cultivation, which became the motivation for taking this type of research in potato cultivation. Under the conditions of this experiment, from the group of underplant crops yielding on the highest level was Italian ryegrass and a mixture of white clover with Italian ryegrass. The high biomass production of grasses also show results of Gromadzinski and Sypniewski (1971), Zajerc and Witkowicz (1996), Ceglarka et al. (1998), Witkowicz (1998) and Kuraszewicza and Palys (2002). In own researches, phacelia grown in stubble intercrop yielded at a similar level as white clover cultivated as an intercrop. This is consistent with the results of Gromadzinski and Sypniewski (1971), Witkowicz (1998), Trawczynski and Grzeskiewicz (1997) and Nowakowski et. al. (1997), Ceglarek and Plaza, 2000). In the experiment the addition of straw to the intercrops caused a significant increase of the amount of dry matter and macronutrients.
Nowak (1982) indicates a predominance of green manure on the farmyard manure. This follows from the fact that the nutrients contained in green manure are generally more easily absorbed than the components of farmyard manure, due to rapid decomposition of organic matter. In this experiment, among intercrops the highest value of fertilizing showed undersown: a mixture of white clover with Italian ryegrass and white clover. Batalin et. al. (1968) the highest yields of potato tubers received after plowing the undersown of red clover and serradella, and Ceglarek et al. (1998) after plowing the mixtures of legume with Italian ryegrass. These differences are due to different rates of mineralization used forms of fertilization and the fact that the introduction into the soil with a mixture of larger amounts of biomass and macronutrients. According to Nowak (1982), during the decomposition of legumes may occur high losses of nitrogen. Depending on the temperature, humidity and time of decomposition, nitrogen losses could amount up to 50%. To prevent it, to the decomposing mass of legumes material rich in carbon should be added, such as grasses, in order to increase the C:N. In this experiment yields of potato tubers fertilized with Italian ryegrass were significantly smaller than in farmyard manure. However, in this case, tuber yields were significantly higher than those obtained on control object, without intercrop fertilization. The increase of tuber yield after plowing down the grass also found Sadowski
(1992) , Spiertz et al. (1996), Duer and Jonczyk (1998) and Reust et al. (1999), but yields were lower than on the farmyard manure. This is because the introduction into the soil a large amount of biomass, with a low content of macronutrients (Sadowski 1992; Duer and Jonczyk 1998). In addition, grasses have a wide ratio C:N. In this case, the less nitrogen mineralization, which is used primarily by soil microorganisms. In own research, the value of stubble crop fertilizer from phacelia plowed down in autumn and left till spring in the form of mulch equal the fertilizer value of farmyard manure. This is understandable because of non-legume stubble crops biomass of this plant was notable for its high content of macronutrients. This is confirmed by results of Dzienia (1989), Trawczynski and Grzeskiewicz (1997) and Nowakowski, et al. (1997) and Rozylo (2002).
In potato fertilization of stubble crops can also be used in the form of mulch. However, thus fertilizing the position, with the exception of phacelia, in terms of fertilizer could not match with farmyard manure. This is confirmed by research of Boliglowa and Dzienia (1996) and Dzieni and Szarka (2000) on potato fertilization by mulch from white mustard. In the system of integrated agriculture can recommend this method of fertilization, especially with phacelia mulch, while significantly reducing of costs. The beneficial effects of intercrops plants left on the field in the form of mulch slows the mineralization of organic matter, does not allow for leaching of nitrogen, stored water from the autumn-winter rainfalls, improves soil structure and enriches it in organic matter (Hoyt et al. 1986; Frye et al., 1988; Dzienia and Boligowa, 1993; Gutmanski et al., 1999).
In that experiment fertilization with spring barley straw gave a lower effect than farmyard manure fertilization. This is consistent with the results of Sadowski (1992), Szymankiewicz
(1993) , Snieg and Piramowicza (1995) and Ceglarek et al. (1998). However, its use combined with intercrop undersown of white clover and stubble crop left till spring in the form of mulch clearly strengthened its fertilising value. Potato tubers yields of after fertilization of these forms were comparable, in the case of white clover yields higher than those recorded on farmyard manure. Also Ceglarek et al. (1998) recommend the combined use of legumes as undersown.
Intercrops fertilization with straw affects not only for the amount of received yieldss, but also on quality, so reciprocal arrangement of the components involved in potato tubers (Roztropowicz, 1989; Grzeskiewicz and Trawczynski, 1997; Boliglowa and Glen 2003). The dry matter content and starch in potato tubers depends on the genetic factor, the distribution of rainfall and temperatures during the growing season and on agronomic factors, mainly from fertilizer (Rostropowicz, 1989; Grzeskiewicz and Trawczynski 1997; Ceglarek et al., 1998; Dzienia and Szarek, 2000; Leszczynski 2002; Plaza and Ceglarek 2009; Makaraviciute 2003). In own studies, intercrop fertilization stimulated the content and dry matter yield of potato tubers and starch content and yield. The highest concentration of dry matter were characterized potatoes fertilized with mixture of white clover with Italian ryegrass and with phacelia plowed down in the autumn and left till spring in the form of mulch, and starch — potatoes fertilized with Italian ryegrass and phacelia plowed down and left till spring in the form of mulch. Research of Ceglarek et al. (1998) showed that potatoes fertilized with legume mixtures with Italian ryegrass include the most dry matter and Italian ryegrass fertilized include the most starch. Boliglowa and Glen (2003) have not indicated significant differences between the starch content in potatoes fertilized with farmyard manure, and white mustard both plowed down in the autumn, as left till spring in the form of mulch. a Different view present Mazur and Julkowski (1982) claiming that potato fertilization with legumes works better on the percentage starch content than with farmyard manure fertilization. In own studies, potato fertilization with stubble intercrop in the form of mulch increased the concentration of dry matter and starch in potato tubers as compared to that of intercrops plowed down in autumn. A similar relationship, but in sugar beet cultivation proved Gutmanski et al. (1998). However Dzienia and Szarek (2000) and Boliglowa and Glen (2003) found no significant differences between the starch content in potato tubers fertilized with farmyard manure, and white mustard both plowed down in the autumn, and left till spring in the form of mulch. Under the conditions of this experiment straw fertilization increased starch content in potato tubers, and in studies Glen et al. (2002) did not decrease significantly the concentration of this component. Consumption potato tubers should contain about 0.3% reducing sugar, and 1% of total sugars. With increased content of total sugars, potatoes taste sweet (Gluska 2000; Leszczynski, 2000, 2002). In own studies, fertilization of potato with intercrop and straw caused a significant decrease in reducing sugars and total sugars in potato tubers as compared to the control object, without intercrop fertilization. Also, according to Leszczynski (2002) and Makaraviciute (2003) organic fertilizers reduce the concentration of sugars in potato tubers. However, the studies of Mondy and Munshi (1990) showed that enrichment of soil in substance abounds in nitrogen reduces the starch content and increases the sugar content in potato tubers. In own studies, potato fertilization with white clover did not result in significant differences in the amount of reducing sugars and total sugars as compared to farmyard manure fertilization.
In light of these studies used forms of organic fertilization stimulated the concentration of vitamin C in potato tubers. The highest concentrations of vitamin C were characterized in potatoes fertilized with white clover and phacelia both plowed down in the autumn, and left till spring in the form of mulch in combination without the straw and with straw. Also, the findings of other authors (Garwood et al. 1991; Weber and Putz 1999; Leszczynski 2002; Sawicka and Kus 2002; Hamouz et al. 2005, 2007; Plaza and Ceglarek 2009) indicate a positive correlation between organic fertilization and vitamin C content in potato tubers.
In own researches, intercrop fertilization preferably affected on protein content in potato tubers. Also in the researches of Mazur and Julkowskiego (1982), Sawicka (1991), Leszczynski (2002) and Sawicka and Kus (2002) saw an increase in concentration of true protein in potato tubers cultivated in organic fertilizers. Most preferably, the discussed feature influenced white clover fertilization, also phacelia both plowed down in the autumn, and left till spring in the form of mulch in combination, without straw and with straw. A similar relationship has proved Wiater (2002). Potatoes cultivation in the position fertilized with legume plants and phacelia plants take larger amounts of nitrogen from soil than potatoes cultivated in position fertilized with green fertilizers. Nitrogen contained in the biomass of white clover and phacelia, is gradually mineralization is evenly shared to the potato crop, leading to total conversion of protein nitrogen. In own stuies, the lowest nitrate content was reported in potato tubers fertilized with white clover and phacelia both plowed down in the autumn and left till spring in the form of mulch. Only after Italian ryegrass applying nitrate content in potato tubers did not differ significantly from that recorded in potatoes fertilized with farmyard manure. The above relationship is explained by the fact that the biomass of white clover, or phacelia outside the higher content of nitrogen contained a few fibers which ensured its rapid degradation. Thanks to this all nutrients, including nitrogen available to potatoes plant are evenly distributed, allowing the total conversion of mineral nitrogen in protein nitrogen. This is consistent with the results of Dzienia et al. (2004) and Boliglowy and Glen (2003), who showed that potato tubers fertilized with white mustard and rye straw contained significantly less nitrates than potatoes fertilized with farmyard manure. According to Leszczynski (2002) use of farmyard manure, whose chemical composition is not controlled, may increase for example nitrogen and other components content in the plant. However Boliglowa and Glen (2003) showed that the nitrate content in potato tubers fertilized with white mustard developed at a similar level as in the potatoes fertilized with farmyard manure. In own studies the highest concentration of nitrates reported in potato tubers from the control object, only with mineral fertilization. This is due to the fact that mineral fertilizers, especially nitrogen increased the content of nitrogen compounds, mainly non-protein, including free amino acids, amines, ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen and reduces the share of protein in general (Wiater, 2002).
In this experiment the lowest concentration of glycoalkaloids in potatoes fertilized with white clover, a mixture of white clover and Italian ryegrass and phacelia both plowed down in the autumn, and left till spring in the form of mulch. According to Rudella et al. (2005) intercrop cultivation with a favorable ratio of carbon to nitrogen regenerates the soil environment, increases the humus content, the number of microorganisms, enzymes and other biologically active compounds in the soil, which inhibits the accumulation of harmful substances in potato tubers. In the experiment only after the applying of Italian ryegrass the concentration of glycoalkaloids in potato tubers was at the similar level as in the potato fertilized with farmyard manure. However, in this case the content of glycoalkaloids in tubers was significantly lower than that in potatoes cultivated without intercrop fertilization. Leszczynski (2002) shows that organic fertilizers reduce the harmful substances content in potato tubers by enriching the soil with organic substance which inhibits the synthesis process of glycoalkaloids. In own studies, straw fertilization also significantly differentiate the content of glycoalkaloids in potato tubers. On objects with straw the content of glycoalkaloids in potato tubers was significantly lower than on objects without straw. This is consistent with the results of research of Plaza et al. (2010). In this experiment the highest concentration of glycoalkaloids in potato tubers has been harvested from the control object, only with mineral fertilization. Also, the studies of Mondy and Munshi (1990), Hamouz et al. (2007), Kolodziejczyk et al. (2007) and Rytel et al. (2008) mineral fertilization increased the content of glycoalkaloids (solanine and chakoniny) in potato tubers. However, it should be noted that the potato in comparison with other crops have little ability to accumulate harmful substances for human. Moreover, the use of green manure and straw greatly reduces their concentration in comparison to traditional farmyard manure.

Adapted from Costa & Leal (2008)
Table 1. Leaf area (LA), leaf fresh mass (LFM) and leaf dry mass (LDM) for the strawberry cultivar Tudla, during August-October (ASO) and November to March (NDJFM).
Cultivars of chicory (Cichorium endivia L.), AF-254 and Marina, produced under a natural environment and within a low tunnel constructed of white polypropylene in the region of Ponta Grossa-PR/Brazil, presented greater head mass in the low tunnel and a greater number of leaves in the natural environment. The AF-254 cultivar was more productive but more susceptible to tipburn in the protected environment (SA & Reghin, 2008).
Cunha et al. (2005) evaluated the radiation balance and yield of sweet pepper, hybrid Elisa, in a protected environment (a non-acclimatized greenhouse oriented in the NNW-SSE direction, covered with low density polyethylene film) and in a field located in Botucatu — SP/Brazil. The authors observed that plants in the protected environment present not only greater plant height and total dry matter during of total cycle, but also a greater leaf area index. However this environment showed less net energy for growth and development of the crop.
Interactions between greenhouse environments, substrates types and different cucumber hybrids were evaluated by Costa et al. (2010) and verified different behavior of the substrates in the different environments studied, noting that the seedling growth was affected by the environments and the substrates. Response of cucumber hybrids in terms of seedlings dry biomass depended on the substrate and the growing environment. The substrate "soil and coconut fiber" increased biomass accumulation in the greenhouse and nursery with black the monofilament screen. The substrate "soil and organic compost" showed greater aerial biomass in the nursery with the aluminized screen. Hybrid 'Safira' accumulated more root biomass in the substrate "soil and coconut fiber" and when using the screens. The hybrid 'Nikkei' accumulated higher root biomass in the nursery with the aluminized screen and in the substrate "soil and coconut fiber" and did not differ from the substrate "soil and saw-dust". Hybrids 'Aladdin F1' and 'Nobre F1' accumulated similar root biomass in the environments, where the 'Aladdin F1' had a higher accumulation of biomass in the substrates "soil and organic compound" and "soil and coconut fiber", while the hybrid 'Noble F1' showed greater accumulation in "soil and coconut fiber", showing no difference from "soil and saw-dust" (Tables 2 and 3).

On the individual platforms the game is even bigger, becoming the 11th biggest on Xbox 360 and 10th biggest on PlayStation 3 after just five days on sale. The split of sales between platforms is fairly even, with 57 percent on Xbox 360 and 43 percent on PS3. Despite accounting for almost 89 percent of sales for the week, GTAV wasn't the only new entry to the chart. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 made its debut at two, while Aliens: Colonial Marines re-entered the chart at eight thanks to retail discounting and promotion. Elsewhere, The Last Of Us jumped up to three from 27, Saints Row IV dropped from one to four, and Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning makes its chart debut at 22. The Top 10 UK chart for the week ending September 21: 1. Grand Theft Auto V 2. Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 3. The Last Of Us 4. Saints Row IV 5. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist 6. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition 7. Diablo III
UK authorities clear Baba Ramdev after second round of questioning
Research by the True and Fair Campaign, which lobbies for clearer charging by fund managers, shows around 40 percent of a typical UK equities fund is effectively a copy of weightings in the overall stock market. However, investors are often paying for "active" fund managers who aim to outsmart competitors and beat benchmarks. These funds can cost up to three times the fees for passive funds that merely match the market and are commonly used as a cheap way to access an asset class or sector. This could have cost British investors 3 billion pounds ($4.8 billion) in excess charges over the last five years, according to the report. The True and Fair Campaign is spearheaded by Alan and Gina Miller who run SCM Partners, a boutique wealth manager that invests client money into exchange traded funds, tracking indexes. They have become prominent critics of charging structures in investment management and last year launched a campaign to impose a standardised code for disclosure of fees. According to their latest report, nearly half of the British fund industry is guilty of "closet indexing". Investors are largely unaware of this, Gina Miller said, because of a lack of transparency in the funds industry. "Because UK funds only have to report what they own once a year, most investors will be unaware that in many cases they are often misled into buying something which turns out to be just an illusion," she said. The Investment Management Association was not immediately available for comment.
Though UK immigration cleared Ramdev and allowed him to carry on with his programmes in Britain, the yoga guru said he was not given any reason for his detention yesterday. According to sources, his questioning by airport officials was related to him travelling on a visitor's visa instead of a business one. A day after his detention on arrival here, Ramdev returned to Heathrow Airport this evening with British Indian MP Keith Vaz to meet the chief immigration officer. The immigration officer later allowed Ramdev to enter the UK lawfully and carry on with his programmes. Ramdev alleged that he did not get support from the Indian government and he suspected that the British officials were misguided. "I am sad to state that my government did not support me. I was told there was a red alert attached to my name, which is only linked with terrorists and criminals. I will wait for full details but I have a doubt that my eight-hour detention yesterday was a result of the Indian government's attempt to misguide the UK immigration department," Ramdev told reporters outside the airport after being cleared. "While the Indian government may have played a villain's role in this whole episode, Britain's NRI community and Keith Vaz (British-Indian MP) stood by me," he said. "I thank the UK government that they did not stay misguided for too long," he said, adding that he had not been given any explanation for being detained. "I have never done anything illegal, immoral or unethical. So I kept asking them to let me know what my fault was.

When comparing ASP.NET MVC vs CodeIgniter, the Slant community recommends ASP.NET MVC for most people. In the question"What are the best backend web frameworks?" ASP.NET MVC is ranked 14th while CodeIgniter is ranked 15th. The most important reason people chose ASP.NET MVC is:
The framework has many build-in tools, and many packages have been written targeting the framework.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Mature
The framework has many build-in tools, and many packages have been written targeting the framework.
Pro Cross platform
.Net Core can work on any platform.
Pro Widely used
It's pretty easy to find a job with it and there's plenty of documentation and tutorials around.
Pro Fast
Asp.NET Core on Linux is fast accordingly to TechEmpower benchmarks.
Pro Extensive documentation
There are a lot of resources available to get help.
Pro Asp.NET core provides balance between magic/agility and craftsmanship
You can get ordinary details quickly but with complete freedom to make your craft, knowing everything that is happening underneath the cloths. The highly modular system makes it possible to scale small applications to large ones with ease.
Pro It has more users than any other backend web framework
Getting your next contract is easy with this on your CV.
Pro Lightweight
CodeIgniter has a small footprint, just 3MB and that's including the user guide.
Pro Beginner-friendly
Setting up CodeIgniter is quick and easy. You can download the version you want from the CI homepage or directly pull the latest version from GitHub. After that, you unzip the contents to the directory that's required. The final step is to edit the
config.php to suit your needs and it's set up and ready for development.
There are also a lot of guides and tutorials from developers who have been using CI for a long time. This is because of the relative old age of the framework and the large community behind it.
Pro Well documented
The documentation is clear, structured and thorough. It explains both commonly used and CodeIgniter specific concepts and always with clear examples.
Pro Active community
Because it's relatively old and well-liked, it has an active community of developers behind it. It's used by a lot of websites in production.
Pro Stable
CodeIgniter is tested by hundreds of thousand of developers that use it in production. This means that it's very hard for any bugs or problems to go unnoticed. Even when a new version is out, bugs are quickly found and patched up.
Pro Open source
The MIT License (MIT)
CodeIgniter is open source and is distributed under the MIT license.
Pro Easy to use templating engine
CodeIgniter has it's own templating engine built-in. It's based on a mustache-like templating language which is easy to learn for new developers who have never seen it. While experienced developers will feel very comfortable using it.
Pro Output caching
CodeIgniter lets you cache the web pages in order to decrease loading times and increase efficiency and performance.
Con Expensive
You need to have the plate to maintain a site.
Con Core and full ASP.NET are bit confusing sometimes
While not in feature parity (yet) they are still apart and support sometimes funky combinations of features - full ASP.NET has all the bells and whistles but doesn't offer cross platform so you may have to do some research what you really need. That being said, it got a lot better in 2.0.
Con Outdated
CodeIgniter was first released during the times of PHP 4. This means that a lot of features that were added later to PHP are not available. Some of these features are:
- Support for namespaces
- Modular separation by default
- Procedural function helpers
While nowadays CodeIgniter can be used along the latest version of PHP, these features were not added so as not to mess with backward compatibility. They can still be used with CI, but it requires extending core files to make it work which is a waste of time and energy and requires advanced knowloedge of both PHP and CI.
Some of the missing features include controller security, filters in forms and modoles, rules of validation, among others.

We present experimental results on optical properties of cranial bone controlled by administration of propylene glycol and glycerol. Both transmittance and reflectance spectra of human and porcine cranial bone in vitro were measured. For estimation of absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of the bone, the inverse adding-doubling method was used. The decrease of reflectance of the samples under action of the immersion agents was demonstrated. The experiments have shown that administration of the immersion liquids allows for effective controlling of tissue optical characteristics that makes bone more transparent, thereby increasing the ability of light penetration through the tissue. The presented results can be used in developing of functional imaging techniques, including OCT.

The Charity chosen by the Association President
Association President for 2018 to 2019 is Ann Acaster, of the York Vikings Club in District 4.
She has chosen Jessie's Fund as her Association charity this year.
Jessies Fund is delighted to be the Presidents Chosen Charity 2018-2019 and we look forward to your friendship and support through the year as you help us to make a difference to the lives of children and young people across the country.
Jessies Fund helps seriously ill children, and those with special needs, through the creative and therapeutic use of music. Founded in 1995 in memory of my nine-year-old daughter, we know that music has the power to help children and young people who have difficulties communicating. Our work takes place in special schools, childrens hospices, respite centres and hospitals, where we have helped thousands of children and young people like Sam:
My son is extremely sensitive to sound, he has very little sight and struggles to process anything, but music offers a window through which he can communicate. As soon as Carrie plays her oboe, his head turns towards her and he listens so carefully to the sound she is making. He becomes very still, then begins to vocalise and has the most wonderful musical conversation with her. It is about the only thing that engages him and stops him from being completely cut off from the world.
One of the programmes you will be supporting is our Soundtracks work in special schools. This provides both a wonderful musical experience for the students whilst also training staff in music techniques to use in the classroom every day. By building the skills and confidence of the staff team we can ensure our work has a lasting impact.
Music can reach our pupils in so many ways . Last year Jessie's Fund came in not only to work with our children, but to train our teachers and learning support staff to carry on with music once theyd left. So now we have music coming out of all the classrooms, walking along the corridors, and were famous in Solihull and Birmingham!

I am so excited about today's post, because it's all about homecoming season! Getting all dolled up for the formal dances were always my absolute favorite part about high school! I still always talk about how I wish they had formal dances in college (that weren't organization specific)! I remember always loving Alyce Paris dresses back when I was in high school, so I wanted to showcase a few great options for those of you who still are in high school and doing last minute shopping for homecoming!
Alyce Paris has so many gorgeous dresses this season! Some of my favorite trends are the nude illusion, open back detailing, and of course the gorgeous beading! Which is your favorite homecoming look?!
All dresses ℅ Alyce Paris → Black Dress, Blue Dress, White Dress, Navy Dress

"tears of a clown, when there's no one around"
by admin on Mar.28, 2010, under Psycho Babble
I am taking a class to learn this whole world of "blogging" and just discovered I have nothing to say. What I mean is the instruction in the class suggested a blog should have a topic. I do many many things in my life, but none that I wanna do a focused blog on. So… now what.
I don't think "Hank" done it this a-way…..
by admin on Mar.26, 2010, under Generic
One thing for sure, my utopian ideal would have music of all types. I think music is definitely something special about humanity. One of our redeeming qualities for sure.
My utopia would probably not have propane tanks, but I wanted to share this cool use of an empty one. My son's created these things called Hank Drum's. I think named such because some cartoon guy named Hank sells propane. But I was dually impressed. The first couple days after he made his Hank drum he made a YouTube video with it. He improved since this was done, but it will give you the idea.
So, it was so fun, I made my own Hank Drum eventually.
The reason for these in the first place is many people wanted to create a cheap version of the "Hang Drum". Hang Drums are incredible. They are made by two guys in Switzerland. Word has it they have a patent on the manufacturing process and do not want to sell it or expand their own capacity for creating them. According to internet lore, they have enough orders to do it for the rest of their lives. At $2500 apiece, I'm thinking they are doing OK. I read somewhere online, it takes two days to make one.
Here is a sample of one being played.
I have watched many of the YouTube videos and always feel like there is hope for humanity after I do.
My beating heart.
First Utopian reflection:
by admin on Mar.23, 2010, under Psycho Babble
After today's day at work I have to say this. I know that my Utopia would not define the efforts of my labors in terms of a currency system based on my depicted worth to our social, cultural, societal aspirations. And no, I do not have something better in mind at the moment, give me a minute. Something inside screams that there has to be a better way.
I do not figure we will last, odds are against us, hope I am wrong. 96% of all species of life we humans have been able to realize is now extinct. So the odds aren't good is all I'm saying. Oh-oh – I am hearing the "not another doomsday preacher" ethers floating my way across the space/time continuum right now. I am not really, I actually hypothesize on all angles. However, as I mentioned in my first posting, I gravitate my postulations around the unknown. Perhaps because you can't prove me wrong, HA. I might be on to something there.
I am guessing that the blogger's pathways are filled with people just like me. Trying to communicate our relations to life as we experience and understand it. Trying to share something a kindred soul might come across and smile at. That seems what I as a person with no focused expertise can use this medium for, mental masturbation I like to call it. I am the one to get the satisfaction from it.
Here is an easy one. A no brainer. The environment. I preach and shout my stance with spittle and outrage, as I use a computer and consume an ex-ordinate amount of resources to enjoy my lifestyle. I know I am a huge hypocrite in this area. Nature is truly my deepest spiritual source of reverence. If I had to identify with any religion it would be one of Gaia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis concepts of some sort. While many of the American Indians were as bloody and savage to each other as we seem to be, I like their religious thing much better than most our "Anglos" practice. … mmm, not too many heathen ethers, coo.
Well I will take a quick stab at something concrete. What about 6 hour days, two shifts! We could have like a symbiotic relationship worker thing. Slight over lap when needed to maintain projects and work. Maybe meetings on Fridays to add to the cohesive nature of our work partner. I am sure I could work out the economics. It would certainly employee everyone. It would drastically increase our productivity. People would be happier and perhaps healthier with more time to pursue other things in life.
Well, its a thought.
What's in a name.
by admin on Mar.21, 2010, under Psycho Babble
What's in a name?
I have been staring at my screen trying to just let go. It is easy in my head, another thing in print. So I got caught up right away. "What should I name this post? This being my first what I would consider first post of any substance ever, I thought it important? I mean if this is the first post I am going to use to start my blog, my first blog, the name should be catchy right. But in what way catchy… catchy as in funny catchy? Or maybe catchy as in introspective catchy? Could it be both? Will people ever see it in the way intended?
I am wondering if my name were Rex, would I name my blog Blogasauras Rex.
Wanna here a funny thing? Ever since I decided I would give this blog thing a try, I have been like bloggin in my head? No really… I am talking to my self in "blogese" as I drive down the road in my car. It kinda freaks me out. I starting thinking about something like usual, then I say to myself, "Here is how I could tell someone else this so they might understand." Then I start thinking like I'm a blog post. Weird huh?
I think it is because in my normal way of self conversation about most everything, I use shortcuts based on my personal relation to the concept. Imagery shortens introspection immensely I find. The minds eye,… so fun to contemplate. I gotta believe it happens in us all. Picture worth a thousand words kinda thinking. What if we communicate like this? In our collective unconscious we pass entire concepts to each other with an image created within our minds eye? It would be blazing speed as all the words, feelings, concepts and memories associated with a picture could be shared in one instant. Gotta love that "mind's eye".
So do you think this reality could be just a common ground created by our collective unconscious? Just a thought.
Collective unconscious, another cool one.
Some one mentioned discussing quantum physics in our blogs. Here is the wiki:
I would love to understand that in the manner intended.
The whole time/space construct is another one I could ramble on all night about.
Ok, I admit it, I stroke that part of me that likes to think about the unknown. But I can be a flower guy too. I live on a small Hobby farm in Minnesota. Animals and stuff, but I get into my flowers around the place every spring and summer. I find it hard to tell many guys. Like one relative is really into Nascar and I am quite sure I am less of a man to him because I like my flowers. And that less of man thing is on some sorta scale depending on how close you are to liking flowers yourself. And I think if you are closer to liking flowers I am more apt to telling you my weird thoughts. Is it all relative to ones base reality? Would the Nascar guy been more apt to tell his unusual thoughts to another Nascar guy, or to a flower guy? Mmm, I am thinking there are surely Nascar flower guys.
Anyone want to start a conversation about something? I would love to try it? Never let go in print like that, but willing to give it a try. I have only one friend who I can talk about anything and everything with deeply. Nice to have that. I worry about being judged I think. But I'm thinking why not.
signed, Pleximus
Your thinking what's with that name?
Video Link Test… grrrr
by admin on Mar.20, 2010, under Generic
Hello, LVS friends… I am getting quite frustrated. But I shall persevere.
This link is my son playing his Hank Drum. It is made from an old propane tank and tuned in a Japanese scale.

In this post we are going to discuss the differences between Rest PUT vs POST. Everyone has there own opinions on what PUT and POST requests should be able to do however, I have based my view on idempotent.
What is idempotency:
The definition of idempotent is as follows:
An idempotent HTTP method is a HTTP method that can be called many times without different outcomes. It would not matter if the method is called only once, or ten times over. The result should be the same.
PUT is considered idempotent where as POST is not.
Rest PUT vs POST:
So with the above in mind I tend to lean towards the following approach.
- PUT requests used to create / overwrite a resource
- POST requests used to create / update an existing resource.
For example:
We would like to initialise the settings of a camera, in this case we would use POST. The reason for using POST is because we will only want to do this the first time a camera is being initialised and subsequent attempts should fail (return 409).
POST: /v1/settings/{cameraId}/initialise
If we would like to update a cameras settings, in this case we would use PUT as we completely overwrite the existing camera settings. Calling the update camera settings n times will have the same result.
PUT: /v1/settings/{cameraId}/ with JSON body
I hope the above explanation has helped you understand the differences between PUT and POST in rest.

The group, which called itself "grandchildren of Ottoman Empire and Children of Turkey" posted text in English on the site defending the World War I-era killing of Armenians in Turkey and asserting that there was no Kurdish problem in Turkey. It also claimed that the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, was a terrorist organization supported by the West, according to footage shown on RTBF, Belgium's French-language public TV broadcaster.
There was no suggestion why the group had chosen a Belgian government site.
Late Sunday, the site, http://www.mil.be, was still inaccessible.
"We must clearly identify the perpetrators and take additional measures to avoid a repetition of this in the future," Belgian Defense Minister Andre Flahaut told RTBF.

Bayesian statistics is controversial amongst frequentists, sometimes for purely terminological reasons, and sometimes for profound philosophical ones.
I'm going to ignore that, because sometimes it is practical to use Bayesian statistics. Even for frequentists it is sometimes refreshing to move your effort from deriving frequentist estimators for intractable models, to just using the damn Bayesian ones, which fail in different and interesting ways than you are used to.
Anyway, you can avoid learning a lot of tedious frequentist machinery by starting with a prior belief that your model isn't too pathological for a Bayesian MCMC sampler and proceeding accordingly. (You might, of course, need to prove some horrible Bayesian MCMC convergence results instead) If it works and you are feeling fancy you might then justify your method on frequentist grounds, but then you are wiping out one interesting source of after-dinner argument.
Prior choice
Is weird and important. Here are some argumentative and disputed rules of thumb.
Doing it
Stan is the inference toolbox for, especially, hierarchical models.
Getting started
R intro: Chris Fonnesbeck's workshop in R
Intro to Stan for econometrics
Hot new option from Blei's lab, leverages trendy deep learning machinery, tensorflow for variational Bayes.
pytorch + bayes = pyro, an edward competitor.
pyro launch announcment:
We believe the critical ideas to solve AI will come from a joint effort among a worldwide community of people pursuing diverse approaches. By open sourcing Pyro, we hope to encourage the scientific world to collaborate on making AI tools more flexible, open, and easy-to-use. We expect the current (alpha!) version of Pyro will be of most interest to probabilistic modelers who want to leverage large data sets and deep networks, PyTorch users who want easy-to-use Bayesian computation, and data scientists ready to explore the ragged edge of new technology.
Turing.jl is a Julia library for (universal) probabilistic programming. Current features include:
Universal probabilistic programming with an intuitive modelling interface
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampling for differentiable posterior distributions
Particle MCMC sampling for complex posterior distributions involving discrete variables and stochastic control flows
Gibbs sampling that combines particle MCMC and HMC
Pymc3 is pure python, which means you don't need C++ to fix things like you do in stan. It's presumably generally slower than stan if you actually do real MC simulations, but I haven't checked.
Chris Fonnesbeck's example in python
Level up you esoterism with Church, a general-purpose Turing-complete Monte Carlo lisp-derivative, which is slow as a thousand miles of baby-arse but does some reputedly cute tricks with modeling human problem-solving, and other likelihood-free methods, according to creators Noah Goodman and Joshua Tenenbaum.
