IPTV & Catch-up TV Kodi add-on Mediaset is available to download through the Android Aba repository. There are two ways to install Mediaset to Kodi media center, either download it through the AndroidAba repository or simply download the Mediaset Plugin Zip. To make the installation easier, Best VPN have used the second option.
How to Add Video Mediaset to Kodi in 4 steps
To install Mediaset on XBMC here is what to do:
- From your Home Screen click Add-Ons>Add-on Browsericon >Install fromZip file.
- Select the Mediaset plugin Zip file (video.videomediaset.v1.2.2).
- You will get the confirmation for Video Mediaset successfully installed.
- Video Mediaset should now be in your Video Add-ons section.
I will highly recommend using the second method and not using the Android Abarepository since it has multiple functionality issues. I tried installing through it too but faced issues installing Mediaset in the end.
How to Watch Video Mediaset on Kodi XBMC
Once Mediaset has been installed and appear in your video add-ons it's time to start watching live TV. Now do remember, Mediaset is one of the best kodi addon with Italian language channels so be ready to learn some Italian. To watch IPTV using Media set here is what to do(Kodi Krypton):
- From the Home Screen click Videos >Video Add-ons >Video Mediaset, the following menu should appear.
- For those who don't understand Italian the menu translates to (in order):
- Live Channels

- Click Canale 5 (Channel 5)and it should start streaming in a few seconds.
Note –Mediaset is an Italian based add-on, hence, all channels are geo-restricted to Italian internet users only. I used a VPN to unblock Channel5, for options check out our 5 tested services with Kodi.
Mediaset Premium for Kodi
Mediaset offers its premium streaming service in addition to a pay per view service to watch live football from Italy & Europe. These services can either be subscribed to on the official Mediaset website or you can just log on to the Kodi Mediaset add-on and watch for free. Since the add-on has been developed by an unofficial third party there are no restrictions over the premium content.
Mediaset App for Android
Mediaset offers a dedicated app for Android users which you also integrate with your Kodi Krypton in your Android phone.
Does Mediaset Work in US?
Yes, you can use Mediaset on Kodi in the USA. Since the Mediaset add-on is geo-restricted outside the country you will require a VPN to get the channels to play in the US. Since Mediaset is a catchup-TV & Live TV streaming service, it is essential you choose a VPN service that offers exclusive streaming servers for high quality video playback.
To use Mediaset add-on in the US simply:
- Connect your Kodi VPN to a server in Italy

Collars and Leashes
Wags! Dog Emporium has a wide variety of styles of dog collars and leashes from which to choose. Beyond being a fashion accessory, collars and leashes can offer an array of practical functions, such as use in training, safety and visibility, comfort, and identification.
At Wags! you'll find select collars and leashes from quality designers like:
Lupine, Cycle Dog, RC Pets, Sweet Pickles Designs, Up Country, Wolfgang Man and Beast, and so many more.
Wags! Dog Emporium is also your one stop shop for harnesses. If you haven't thought about a harness before, we highly recommend giving one a try. In recent years there's been a surge in new and unique harness designs. At Wags!, we personally evaluate each harness design and are excited to offer our customers a huge selection of styles that we know you and your dog will love.
One popular new design is called a "front clip" harness, seen here on Wags! shop dog Maggie. These harnesses have a place to clip your leash near the breastbone rather than along the back of the dog. When your dog forges ahead, this leash position will actually turn your dog's body back towards you, allowing you to regain control of your walk. The design also eliminates any damage to your dog's sensitive trachea.
As always, the staff at Wags! are more than happy to help you find the style of harness that's right for you, and adjust it to your dog for the perfect fit.

The test case container is a relatively-positioned div with z-index:0, which thus forms a stacking context.
Within the container, an in-flow inline-level red span precedes a green div which is floated left with a negative right margin, pulling the span's line boxes across to its left-hand edge. The content and red background of the span is rendered on top of the green background of the float. This behaviour (which is in accordance with CSS 2.1 CR, Appendix E) demonstrates a contradiction within CSS 2.1 CR (2007-07-19), Section 9.9 (Layered presentation) which states:
According to Section 9.9, both the red span and the green float have z-index:auto and hence both have the same integer stack level as the parent stacking context, and are thus stacked in document tree order (float on top of span); yet they should also be rendered within their parent stacking context according to their assigned stacking levels (span on top of float).

Drought can affect just about any area of the country at any time. Even if drought is not typically accompanied by the kinds of warnings associated with floods and certain storms, it remains dangerous.
Drought may be most associated with arid regions, but it is not exclusive to deserts. Drought is a problem in Canada, a country often associated with cold weather and snow. As early as the end of March 2017, the Canadian Drought Monitor indicated large areas of abnormally dry conditions in British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, and Saskatchewan, with smaller pockets of abnormally dry areas in 6 other areas.
Conserving water is the utmost priority during times of drought. Just a few changes to daily habits can have a sizable impact. Try the following.
• Check all plumbing for leaks and have any leaks repaired.
• Install aerators and flow restrictors on faucets.
• Choose energy- and water-efficient appliances.
• Install low-volume toilets, which can use less than half of the water of older models.
• Reduce reliance on sink disposals for getting rid of food waste.
• Never use fresh water when recycled water can be used safely. For example, collected rainwater can be repurposed to water plants and outdoor landscapes.
• Only wash dishes in a dishwasher with a full load.
• Rely on compostable or recyclable paper dishes during times of big water restrictions to cut down on dishwashing.
• Collect "cool" water when heating up the shower or sink water for washing. Use it to clean areas of the home or water plants.
• Decline water at restaurants unless you plan to drink it.
• Spread mulch in garden beds and aerate the lawn to help the landscape conserve water.
• Store drinking water in refillable containers in the refrigerator.
• Install irrigation devices that channel rainwater, or use root-delivery systems to water landscapes more efficiently.
• Cover pools and spas to reduce water evaporation.
• Use a commercial car wash that recycles water.
• Share successful water-saving strategies with others in your community.

Essence.com: Well, how much are you in tune with your on-screen alter ego, Rochelle?
T.C.: Rochelle's my grandmother, mother and aunt all rolled into one, so I relate to her in so many ways. She's independent, stubborn and yet, through all of that, she still loves and cares for her family in her own special way. We have a good show and a good group of people and I think that translates to every race, gender and religious background. Everyone can relate to the show on some level.
Essence.com: We talking about your acting chops, but let's talk a bit about your parenting skills. How has motherhood changed your thinking?
T.C.: You're right. It's so funny after having Alijah, who's 3 going on 30, I said to myself, I'm a grown-ass woman, I don't have time for any kind of foolishness, it's all about her and my career. Chile , she's into dancing and just joined Debbie Allen's Academy for dance and Debbie loves her. My daughter is definitely going to be in the arts and surpass anything I ever achieved. (Laughs) She asked me the other day, 'Mom can I say ass?' I'm like, 'No you can't, it's a bad word. 'Then she says, 'Well can I sing it?'. I'm like, 'No you can't sing it, hum it, think it or speak it.' We're at that point in our relationship where she questions everything with 'Why?' so I have to tell her what our mothers told us, 'Because I said so!' Now, she goes around telling her little friends the same thing—if she says no to them and when they ask why, she says, 'Because I said so!'
Essence.com: So do you still keep in touch with Martin Lawrence?
T.A.: Yes, I still keep in touch with Martin. I haven't talked to him for a minute. I talk to his family.
Essence.com: Your best friend Tisha Campbell Martin and her hubby Duane Martin said the beef they had long ago with Martin Lawrence was squashed. Did you ever feel trapped in the middle of that past drama?
T.A.: Honestly, Tisha and Martin never put me in it. They did a great job of leaving it amongst themselves. Although it broke up a family because the entire cast—we were all very close. It was something that happened and we dealt with it, but it's long been squashed.
Essence.com: Are you living single now or do you have a beau?
T.A.: (Laughs) I'm seeing someone, but I ain't sayin' who. I have so much respect for any man I date. I'm not going to drag him into the spotlight. You will never see me on the red carpet with anyone I'm dating. I see the red carpet as work and I don't bring my men to work. In fact, if you want to keep a relationship in Hollywood your best bet is not to appear on the red carpet together!
Essence.com: I respect that. So does that mean you and singer Norwood Young, are not an item?
T.A.: No! Hell to the naw. Norwood and I are good friends. The night of Tish and Duane's premiere for Seat Filler they invited him to go as well. He does not like being in crowds by himself and he asked if I would go with him. That's how that happened and everyone started saying, That's Tichina's new man.'
Essence.com: A few Black actresses criticized the Black female bloggers regarding the comments and rumors they've made about them. Do you explore the blogosphere and read what they're saying about you?
T.A.: Yes, I love them! I think they are hilarious especially concreteloop.com. I really don't get offended by what they say. I remember one time I went to this event and I thought I was decked out. I think my stylist was unavailable and I dressed myself, I can't remember, but you couldn't tell me I wasn't looking good and they said something like, 'We love Tichina, but she looks like Boy George!' and I looked at the picture and thought, Damn, I do look like Boy George and I just fell out because to me it's all about comedy. Another blog said I had chest hairs and I'm like, They trippin'! I look good and I don't have no damn chest hairs (laughs)!' Most of the times when the media decides to talk about me I'm like, I don't care what the hell they say as long as my picture looks good. But it's only when the comments gets vicious that I can understand where folks are coming from about the negativity and hate, but I just don't take myself that seriously. I love reading the blogs!
T.A.: (Laughs) No, not at all. You know you're not famous until someone accuses you of being gay. I know a lot of people in Hollywood so I can see them making up stuff like that. It doesn't bother me. I pay it no attention.
Essence.com: Why do you think it is that everyone is so fascinated with what celebs are doing in their bedrooms?
T.A.: Because it comes with the territory. It's our responsibility as public figures to be cognizant of how we're being seen. If you don't want to be accused of being an alcoholic, then don't be seen drunk. Unfortunately, creating rumors is a business. �Unfortunately, you can't control rumors and I don't worry about dispelling any because to do that would mean I'm giving credence to any lies that might be out there about me.
Essence.com: What's the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself?
T.A.: I just heard that I was dating a white man. Yes, I've dated a white guy for about two years before (and for the record, it isn't the French actor I've been shot with a few times, he's just a friend) but Black men are my preference. It's just something about the Black man, he's just so� ooooh (laughs). I'm not downing any interracial relationships because you love who you love and I don't put limits on who I love. But I'm the type of person who needs an individual who understands all of me. It makes it a lot easier when you have someone from the same heritage.
Essence.com: There was a while after Martin that we didn't see or hear from you. Where were you?
T.A.: I wasn't working! There was a minute when I wasn't working. I'm going to call it a 10-year span where I didn't book any other show. I made guest appearance on One on One, Jamie Foxx, and quite a few other shows, but I never got steady work. But I was moving and working. I did a lot of theater, I was in the studio—I did a little bit of everything.
Essence.com: And what happened to your China Moon Rags fashionable headscarfs?
T.A.: I stopped producing China Moon Rags when I started Everybody Hates Chris. I couldn't run it anymore, so I just shut it down until I have time to devote to it. But I'm going to start it again.
Essence.com: I also hear you are singing again? When is the album dropping?
T.A.: Yeah, singing is my first love and it paid the bills before anything else. I'm getting back into It, but Tisha [Campbell Martin] teases me all the time like, 'Girl stop talking about how you going to make an album because you been working on that album for 15 years!' And I was like, 'Shuddup!' But I'm into making sure that I give the right stuff, I'm not just going to give people anything. When I make an album, you damn skippy people gonna buy it 'cause if I don't believe in it, I'm not gonna do anything I don't believe it. It got to be right.
Essence.com: Just make sure you don't get corny material.
T.A.: I know! It's very hard. People will give you b--------- and I'm like, 'Hold up this is my career!'
Essence.com: Well you have one great songwriter and that's your daughter's father, Carvin Haggins, who has written great stuff for Musiq and other artists.
T.A.: (Laughs) I know! Yep you know it's so crazy because that's how he and I got together; I was in the studio with him.
Essence.com: Awww shucks those late night studio sessions will hem you up every time�
T.A.: (Laughs) Okay! I was like, 'You know what? You tricked me all along and set me up and I didn't even see it coming!'
Essence.com: You two aren't together anymore, but you're still friends?
T.A.: (Laughs) Yes, I'm friends with all my ex-partners. My mother and my sister said, 'How is it that you remain friends with all your ex-boyfriends?' It's all good--ain't no hard feelings.
Essence.com: So how long were you two together?
T.A.: Two-and-half years. The thing is, I'm extremely monogamous. I can only give my heart to one person at a time. I'm not a juggler at all.
Essence.com: And you've been about your business. Word on the street is you landed a dramatic leading role. Tell me about it.
T.A.: For years people have told me I needed to play a dramatic role so I've been contemplating it and now it's come my way. It's an indie film called The Lena Baker Story. Ironically, I was asked to play her in a play, but I'd already accepted the film role. I play Lena Baker, a Black woman who ends up having an affair with her white boss, some might even say his sex slave. Their relationship is dysfunctional and ends in tragedy for both of them—Baker is executed after killing him and then pardoned 60 years later. They had a love/hate relationship: they were both alcoholics but came from two different places and somehow found each other. This character is going to represent so many women who are between a rock and a hard place. The issues she faces transcends race.
Essence.com: So was this role a taxing undertaking for you?
T.A.: Physically I was tired and emotionally just drained. I cried real tears because I wanted the role to be as realistic as possible. I also mastered a southern accent�there were a lot of new experiences for me and it pushed me as an actress.
Essence.com: If someone asked you to make a personal assessment about yourself what would it be?
T.A.: That I worked hard, I've made all the right choices in my life and even in my mistakes that people have and will learn something. I'm a realist not a sugar coater, so it's not easy. But I believe in always letting people know what their obstacles are. And at the end of the day, I just want to be respected for my hard work.

Working from your passion and your strenght
I teach experienced entrepreneurs, as well as beginning entrepreneurs to focus mainly on their strength and their passion. They quite often have a clear vision that they want to emit with their business or product. When I meet entrepreneurs that are really focused on the money, they I let them become conscious quickly of the fact that this is a very short term solution, and if they want to survive for the long term with their business they will not succeed. It is therefore extremely important to stay focused on your passion and what the strength is of your business.
Stay focused
The more you stay focused on your passion, the more you emit this to your customers and eventually your employees. Along the way you will find out what the strength is of you and your business. Along the way I see entrepreneurs lose this passion, and thereby in most cases see the business fail. Focus therefore not on the fast money or quick growth but on the long term and are you doing that where you're passion lays and what you are good at. I like to call that conscious business building.
Would you like to know more about our coaching and training please get in contact with us.

In reference to Caitlyn Jenner, a friend of a friend posted a Facebook comment this week with the quote "Love the sinner, hate the sin" as if it were a biblical quote. I had issues with this but, not wanting to clutter my friend's feed or start a war with someone she cares about, I decided to make my reaction a post of my own. As I went over my own history with this particular philosophy, along with some recent conversations though, I realized that my attitude toward this phrase is more complicated than I first thought.
In case you haven't been following along, or are new, I used to be one of those people who was quite fond of the above phrase. It made me feel all open-minded and accepting. Eventually, I came to be ashamed of that part of my life. Regardless of the intent, and I do believe the intent is overall a positive one, that phrase is still judgmental. It's still assuming that this aspect of a person is sinful and that you know what is right and wrong better than they do.
As a former Christian, however, I can argue both sides. Christians will tell you that loving the sinner means we all deserve love and to be loved. We are all sinners and fallen short of the glory of God, blah, blah, blah.
So why do I only ever see this phrase thrown in the direction of LGBT people? I don't remember ever seeing it mentioned in relation to, say, Charles Manson or Josh Duggar. Or even Bill Clinton. No one says we need to love the Boston Marathon bomber in spite of his transgression. And God forbid anyone suggest we love people of other religions, especially Muslims. But as soon as someone comes out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, certain religious people just have to trumpet out the "we love you anyway" line.
No, no, no. That's not the way it works. You don't get to love someone and hate something so fundamental about them, something they have no more control over than the color of their skin. You don't get to have an opinion on their gender, their sex life, their identity, how they see themselves, how they express themselves, or anything else. That's why it's their life, not yours. Don't like it and it's a big enough stumbling block that you feel the need to tell them you love them but hate their sin? Then don't be friends with them. Trust me, no one wants to be merely tolerated. Love us for who we are or don't bother.
Okay, with a deep breath, I'm stepping down from the soap box
Because you know what? Even non-Christians, people not using the "hate the sin, love the sinner" line do a version of this every day, all the time.
In college, I had a friend who let me know that everyone had annoyed him at some point. He could name exactly one person who had never once annoyed him. I thought that was horrible and immediately wondered what I had done to annoy him. I'm still not sure. It doesn't matter because it was probably little stuff. Over time, I have realized that my own attitude towards others, even those I am closest to, is not so different. I don't love everything about everyone I love. Loving them doesn't make them perfect or infallible. It means that the good stuff outweighs the bad, that they have proven themselves in some way that makes me want to overlook the stuff I'm less crazy about.
In a more recent conversation after a munch, a friend asked my opinion on someone he had just met. This third party, who I'll call F, is a bit loud, a bit of a know-it-all who has to make sure you know how connected he is to the kink community all over the country. He's not a bad person and my impression of him has changed for the better with time, but I still need to take him in small doses only. My friend, H, stated that they didn't completely buy all of F's story and it was difficult to disagree. I'm not sure I do either.
And then H said something that hit very hard, something to the effect of, "But I'm rarely 100% with anyone." His point was that we all present ourselves the way we want to be seen. None of us are 100% completely honest. It doesn't mean we go around spreading lies about ourselves, but we do express ourselves through our own filters and our own perspectives. Recognizing that, and putting words to it, was huge for me.
What I took away is that we don't have to agree with every little thing about a person in order to like them, love them, or care about them. We can have our differences and our disagreements and that's okay. We can recognize the flaws and…
Wait, maybe the difference here is that I don't necessarily see our differences as flaws. I see the people I love as imperfect just as I am imperfect, and I am not judging their imperfections. They're wonderful and fabulous and beautiful *because* of their imperfections, not in spite of them. I don't hate our differences. I love our differences. I embrace them. And what I see as flaws, someone else may see as a perfection. It's not my place to name those things.

In the recent edition of the Maine Woodland Owners' newsletter, Bob Duchesne published a very informative column about the different forest habitats needed by our birds.
Bob is our state's best birding guide and has published Maine birding guides. He's also a longtime legislator – for sure, one of our best.
I got permission from Bob and MWO to share that column with you. Here it is.
Bob's column
I started 2018 by cleaning the basement. I also decluttered my inbox. In so doing, I chanced upon an old email I sent to Robbins Lumber years ago. I had just done some birding on Robbins land around Nicatous Lake, and I couldn't help but admire how well-managed their forest was. I wrote to thank them.
A well-managed forest is a beautiful thing. I admire woodlands that sustain diverse habitat, and I especially respect forestry practices that prevent silting of trout streams. I see examples of great management all over the state, but what I observed on the Robbins land was so extraordinary that I felt I needed to write and say "thank you." I was back up there in November, and the beauty reminded me of my earlier visit.
Years ago, I wrote a letter to thank Baskahegan Company. One of their logging roads in Washington County is among my top three favorites in the state. The road has an unusually dense concentration of spruce, fir, and red pine. This makes it attractive to many of the northern forest birds that can be difficult to find. I've been visiting this road for 20 years, so I've been able to watch how fast the forest regenerates. The rapid regeneration happens because Baskahegan pays great attention to using its equipment lightly, so as to not damage the soil or choke regrowth with misplaced slash.
I'm currently serving my 12th year in the Maine legislature. Although it's rare, sometimes I get drawn into debates about what the forest should look like. I've heard arguments that the Maine forest is a pristine wilderness. It isn't. I've heard arguments that trees only have value if they are harvested. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or maybe the imagination.
As a bird expert, my perspective is uniquely focused on habitat. Maine is blessed with a wide variety of birds, and each species has its habitat niche. For instance, we have more than two dozen species of warblers nesting in the state –an unusually high number compared to other states. Some of our warblers like hardwoods, some prefer soft. Some like mature forest, some favor young. Some stay near the ground, some never leave the canopy. The same thing happens with our abundance of vireos, flycatchers, thrushes, sparrows, woodpeckers, etc. The more habitat diversity there is in a woodland, the more variety of birds that can be found there.
Even selective clear cuts can be good for some birds. Mourning warblers are scarce and difficult to find in Maine, occurring primarily in the northern part of the state. What they love best are areas that are regenerating – areas that have dense brambles, usually with a thin overstory of young maples to provide a little shade and additional cover. They are secretive but noisy. Invariably, I hear them before I ever see them.
In pre-colonial days, Mother Nature relied on fires, floods, and beavers to open up the canopy and create habitat variety. Those are now suppressed, and it's often the harvester that generates forest diversity. I had the pleasure of visiting a harvest site with a professional forester last year. The landowner's specific goal was to improve habitat for wildlife on the parcel, particularly grouse. I also walked one of the state's Wildlife Management Areas with a forester from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife last year. The department uses targeted logging as a key tool in managing its woodlands for wildlife.
I can usually look at a patch of forest and know what birds are likely to be present. In fact, one of my favorite pleasures is to drive the logging roads of northern Maine looking for outstanding patches. Whenever I venture out the Golden Road and up the Telos Road, I am keenly aware of what a privilege it is to recreate on private lands, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity.
Such an opportunity comes with responsibility, which I preach to other adventurous birders every chance I get, including this one. I avoid active logging operations, stay out of the way of trucks, shun parking in the wrong places, and don't litter. I avoid damaging roads in mud season, or any season. And I say thank you every chance I get, including this one.

CAMP MYSTIC. Camp Mystic is a summer camp for girls on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River three miles southwest of Hunt in central Kerr County. It was established in 1926 by E. J. (Doc) Stewart, former head football coach at the University of Texas, who had founded Camp Stewart for boys in the same area two years earlier. Camp Mystic, known originally as Stewart's Camp for Girls, provided facilities for outdoor activities and instruction in roping, marksmanship, music, painting, and drama. In 1937 the camp was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Gilespie Stacy and in 1968 was owned by a group of investors that included Stacy family members. The camp has remained in continuous operation since its founding, except for the years 1943–45, when it was leased by the federal government as a convalescent camp for army air corps veterans of World War II.

I don't know if you have noticed yet, but the purple boxes are hanging in trees along roadways again. I got a call last week from the UK Entomology Department letting me know they were hanging them again. They wanted me to let you know about it in my news article so… you have been warned! Just joking, there is nothing to warn you about, but the boxes are purple to attract Emerald Ash Borer, and they have a pheromone or attractant and sticky goo to catch any borers that may happen by.

Vedic Astrology and why it is called so
by Anuj Bahl
There are some
people who refrain from calling astrology, as practiced by Hindus,
as "Vedic". They have some contentions regarding the same which are
mostly based on the argument that the Vedas do not contain
"astrology". This argument is not exactly correct but instead of
contending this argument, a simpler logic will prove Astrology as
For astrology to
be called Vedic it may or may not be present in the Vedas. The very
character of Astrology is Vedic and it follows the teachings as
presented in the Vedas. In this regard, Astrology is Vedic.
The word "Vedic" does not only refer to the period when Vedas were
written. The word "Vedic" refers to that which follows the Vedas.
Considering that Hindus follow the Vedas, the correct name for a
Hindu should be Vedic or Vaidikas.
Like the culture that is based on the teachings of the Vedas is a
Vedic Culture, similarly the astrology governed by the thinking and
understanding of the Vedas, is "Vedic".
Now let us understand how Astrology follows some of the teachings of
the Veda.
Vedanga refers to
those bodies of knowledge that are the "limbs" to the Vedas. In
other words, it aids in understanding of the Vedas.
It would be important to understand what Vedas are. The word "Veda"
means knowledge. Vedas contain aphorisms to understand the true
identity of ourselves. Many people think Vedas are part of Hindu
Religion. It would correct to say that Hindu Religion has adopted
itself from the Vedas. Vedas are universal and came before the word
"Hindu" came into being.
Jyotish is a Vedanga and in its approach it follows the Vedic
teaching. Jyotish cannot go against the Vedas in its teaching or
Jyotish follows the principle of freedom of choice. It gives
individuals the right to choose in any given situation. The choices
always available to an individual in any given situation of life
1. To react (anger, jealousy, envy, fear, fight, arrogance, likes,
dislikes, etc.)
2. To pro act (do one's action as required by the call of duty,
without involving oneself in the above reactions).
3. Remain calm without any action (Realizing the results are given
by the lord, and accepting them without any reaction)
The 2nd choice has all the elements of the 3rd choice. Jyotish as a
subject never undermines these choices. With these choices, one can
change one's future. With the first choice, one can enhance the
difficulties in one's destiny and with, the second and third choice;
one can enhance the quality of destiny in happiness and success.
Each time you make the 2nd or 3rd choice, you weaken the reactions
within yourself. Over a period of time, you stop reacting at all.
Jyotish understands this principle and employs it.
Jyotish never promises a pre destined life. Mother, father, brother,
sister may be predestined but not your future. Your future depends
upon the choices.
understands the concept of surrender. It understands that the
actions are in the hands of the doer, while the results are in the
hands of the Lord (Ishvara). Prayers to the lord for desirable
results are a part of remedial measures in Astrology. Remedial
measures are, most often than not, recognition of a power much
greater than us, which dictates the results.
Astrology can be
a source of spiritual guidance. In Hindu or vedic astrology, planets
are called "grahas". The meaning of a graha is "to seize". In other
words, they seize us into their web and lend reality to thoughts and
desires. Their nature, position, association, aspect, etc. determine
the nature of thoughts and desires and possible actions. They
represent the misinterpretation of the Reality.
Give the above, astrology can be used to find out what thinking
patterns, desires and expectations bind the individual. One can
analyze how the individual is caught up in the web of "Maya".
If we see, different grahas (planets) give the following
identifications within one self and consequent binding:
Sun: the appearance to the ego as consciousness separate from the
wholeness, as if ego possesses the consciousness. The position of
Sun in a house and a sign may cause Sun to "arrest" itself by the
very my thought it illumines. Like Sun is clouded by the very cloud
it illumines.
Moon: identification with the mind and all the emotions arising
there from: give rise to the multiplicity and raises the pair of
Mars: identification with ambition, power, conflict and desire.
Mercury: identification with the intellect: takes one part of the
Reality as right and other as wrong and so on increases its
identification. No wonder it is the son of Moon.
Jupiter: identification with the values, memory and society.
Venus: identification with beauty and physical aspects of nature.
Saturn: identification with sorrow and pain and lends reality to the
Rahu-Ketu: identification with the future and the past, thus lending
reality to the concept of time.
End Notes
In this regard,
Astrology, as practiced by Hindus, is Vedic contrary to many beliefs
and arguments.

1. There is no 3-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. This is any shot attempt regardless if the ball hits the rim.
2. A player who is not a dribbler in control can keep (tap) a ball inbounds, go out of bounds, and return inbounds and play the ball. Player has to establish himself back inbounds prior to touching the ball.
3. There is no such thing as "over the back". There must be contact resulting in advantage/disadvantage. A player should not be penalized merely for being taller or having the ability to jump higher than their opponent.
4. "Reaching" is not a foul. There must be contact and the player with the ball must have been placed at a disadvantage.
5. A player may always recover his/her fumbled ball; a fumble is not a dribble, and any steps taken during recovery are not traveling, regardless of progress made and/or advantage gained. Running while fumbling the ball is not traveling.
6. It is not possible for a player to travel while dribbling.
7. A high dribble is always legal provided the dribbler's hand stays on top of the ball, and the ball does not come to rest in the dribbler's hand.
8. A "kicked ball" must be ruled intentional to be ruled a violation. Just because the ball contacts a players foot/leg doesn't automatically mean it is a kicked ball.
9. It is legal for a player to rebound/catch his or her own air ball, provided the official deems the shot to be a legitimate try and not a pass. This one would be near the top of the list for most misunderstood.
10. If the ball is lodged on or in the support of the rim, a jump ball is awarded. If it happens during a free throw attempt or throw-in, then it is a violation.
11. Striking the ball handler or shooter on the hand, while holding the ball, is not a foul -- no matter how noisy or how much it hurts.The hand is part of the ball.
12. A defender does not have to "give the dribbler a step" as long as legal guarding position has been obtained and then it is up to the dribbler to avoid contact. The person with the ball should expect to be guarded.
13. The sides, top and bottom of a rectangular backboard are IN BOUNDS. The back of the backboard is out of bounds. If the ball travels over the backboard, it is out of bounds.
14. Jumpers may tap the ball simultaneously; may tap the ball twice and when the legally tapped ball touches the floor, the jumper may recover the ball.
15. A 10-second backcourt count continues even when the defense deflects or bats the ball. The count stops when "team control" changes (the offense maintains team control during a loose ball).
16. A "moving screen" is not a foul unless there is contact. If contact occurs, it is a blocking foul.
17. Any contact foul during a live ball must be ruled a personal foul. The contact can be intentional or flagrant, but not a technical.
18. Any unsportsmanlike conduct during a dead ball must be ruled a technical foul.
19. Basketball is a contact sport. Incidental contact often occurs and contact which does not create an advantage/disadvantage situation may be ignored. However, contact on the shooter should be called.
20. A defensive player does not have to be stationary when "taking a charge" if they have obtained legal guarding position initially. Once legal guarding position is established, the defender is permitted to move in order to maintain his position. Read that again: THE DEFENDER IS PERMITTED TO MOVE. He can even be completely airborne and still draw a charge. Legal guarding position is established by having both feet on the floor and the body facing the ball handler. The defender can jump vertically and draw a charge as long as the defender is not moving forward during the jump. If so, then the defender is initiating contact which is then a blocking foul. A good way to differentiate between a block and a charge is where the contact occurs. Typically if contact is on the chest, it is a charge, if iit is on the hip or shoulder, it should be called a block.
21. An intentional foul is always penalized with two free throws, except on a missed 3-point attempt, which is awarded three free throws. The ball is then awarded at the spot closest the foul (not automatically at half court).
22. When an airborne shooter commits a player control foul (charging), the successful goal is disallowed, regardless of whether the try was released before or after the foul.
23. Lifting the pivot foot does not constitute a travel unless the ball handler places the pivot foot back on the floor prior to beginning a dribble, passing or shooting the ball.
24. Basketball interference occurs when: a player touches the ball or basket (net included) when the ball is on or within the basket; touches the ball when it is touching the cylinder having the ring as its lower base; touching the ball outside the cylinder while reaching through the basket from below.
25. Goal tending occurs when: a player touches the ball during a try or tap while on its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level and has a chance of entering the basket in flight or an opponent of the free throw shooter touches the ball outside the cylinder during a free throw attempt. In high school, the downward flight rule still applies if the ball touches the backboard first. Meaning, a player can legally block a shot after the ball hits the backboard provided the ball has not started moving downward toward the cylinder.
26. It is impossible to travel while taking the ball out for a dead ball throw in. The thrower must stay over the designated spot that is 3 feet wide and has no restrictions on depth.
27. Backcourt violations are complicated and difficult for fans to grasp. The half court line is considered part of the backcourt. In order to draw an "over and back" call, the offensive player must fully establish themselves in the front court first. Establishing position in the front court requires three points of contact with the floor, which means both feet and the ball. Once all three points make contact with the front court, any one of those points that touches the half-court line or any point behind it then justifies a violation.
28. Another backcourt scenario that is often misunderstood relates to team control. Follow me on this scenario....A player from Team A (A1) passes the ball to a teammate (A2) in the frontcourt, and the ball is tipped by a player from Team B (B1) towards the backcourt. Before the ball gets to the backcourt it deflects off player A2 in the frontcourt. A2 then recovers the ball in the backcourt.This is a backcourt violation even though the ball was tipped. Because Team A still maintains team control during a loose ball and was last to touch the ball in the frontcourt, it is an over and back violation. Had the ball tipped A1 in the backcourt, there would not have been a violation.
29. Closely guarded five second call. A player can legally be in possession of the ball while being closely guarded for 12 seconds. How? A player who catches the ball and is being closely guarded may hold the ball for four seconds, then dribble the ball for four seconds and then hold the ball for another four seconds before passing or shooting the ball and not be in violation. A violation occurs when the ball handler is closely guarded (within six feet) by the any defensive player for five consecutive seconds while the ball is being held or dribbled. This violation can only occur in the front court and the count stops when the ball handler gets his/her head and shoulders ahead of the defender.
30. Sliding on the floor with the ball is not a travel. Only when a player rolls over or attempts to stand is it a travel.

Pomp and circumstance is the order for the day in the House of Commons and Lords as The Queen leads the state opening of parliament on 18 May. The historic ceremony marks the start of the parliamentary year and will see British monarch Elizabeth II outline the government's legislative programme in the House of Lords.
The Queen will be escorted by the Household Cavalry from Buckingham Palace to Westminster, where she will enter the Houses of Parliament through the grandiose Sovereign's Entrance.
The House of Lords official the Black Rod is later sent to summon MPs to the upper chamber. The doors to the Commons are slammed in his face, marking the separation between the monarchy and the executive.
The chamber usually livens up as the Black Rod approaches the Commons' mace, as Labour backbencher and republican Dennis Skinner heckles the House of Lords official.
"Royal Mail for sale. Queen's head privatised," the Bolsover MP declared in 2013 when the government sold off the postal service. MPs, lead by the prime minister and leader of the opposition, fill into the Lords to hear the Queen's speech.
The address is written by the government of the day and gives an outline of the administration's main policies and proposals. The monarch's exit from the upper chamber marks the new parliamentary session and MPs and peers debate the planned legislation. You can watch the ceremony from 11.20am BST on Parliament TV and from 10.30am until 12:15 on BBC News.

New dating show set to demystify sexualities
"SPARKS and tears, darling. Sparks and tears."
Shane Jenek - as his drag alter ego, Courtney Act - expects there to be some serious chemistry and real love matches made, in the latest dating show to take the world by storm.
Following the lead of shows like The Bachelor and Married At First Sight, The Bi Life breaks new ground by following nine bisexual and pansexual UK singletons on their pioneering search for love.
Both Jenek and Act will make appearances on the LGBTQ+ Love Island spin-off, with the latter making grand entrances for special occasions only.
But unlike Love Island, there's no prize at the end of the season, filmed in Barcelona, Spain - where the reward is finding a date or a mate.
Jenek, who was born in Brisbane and then moved to Sydney as an 18-year-old, hopes the show will help normalise modern dating for different genders.
"I think now that marriage equality has started to roll out in Australia and people have seen the sky hasn't caved in.
He said: "There's nothing untoward about two people in love getting married, I think there's probably more acceptance and understanding and a show like this will help to demystify (questions about) different sexualities," he said.
Jenek's career as an entertainer took off after auditioning for Australian Idol, back in 2003 - first as Shane, then coming back the next day in full drag, as Courtney Act.
Act would wow judges and later sign with Sony, joining a national arena tour with fellow Idol contestants.
More recently, Act would find success in 2014 on Season 6 of Ru Paul's Drag Race reality show in the US (making the top three).
But the UK would be where Act found her people, embraced by viewers and voted the winner of Big Brother UK this year.
The Bi-Life gave its diverse cast the chance to push their own boundaries, Act said.
"One of the daters had never been on a date before and so to watch him go on his first ever date and second and third, it was just adorable.
"It was a really fun experience making it and now that I've seen the first episode it feels really rewarding.
Rather than a group of bisexual people "reacting to or explaining themselves to straight people or even gay people you have a group of people all supporting each other and understanding more of the nuances of their sexuality."
* Carmen Clarke, Manchester: bisexual single wants to learn more about herself and find someone who 'can help see the world in a better light;'
* Daisie Thilwind, Manchester: 'proud to be bisexual' and a hopeless romantic, who has been unlucky in love;
* Irene Ellis, London: taking part in the show to embrace her bisexuality. The dating scene has been a scary place and would love to build her confidence when it comes to relationships;
* Kyle McGovern, South Wales: out as bisexual for a year, having mainly dated girls in the Welsh Valleys. He says the show is the perfect opportunity to see what's out there;
* Leonnie Cavill, Manchester: party girl who hasn't had a proper relationship for seven years, and wants to find someone who can share wild times with her;
* Mariella Amodeo, London: Mariella comes from a big Italian family and is looking to meet The One on the show who she can settle down and have a family with;
* Matt Brindley, Chester: looking for a serious relationship and has dated more men than women in the past. Looking for a 10/10 in the looks department, fun and sociable;
* Michael Gunning, Manchester: an international swimmer, his commitment to the sport means he's never been in a relationship - or even on a date - before the show:
* Ryan Cleary, London: Ryan has had relationships with both men and women, but says his strongest relationships have been with other guys. Open to falling for a man or woman.

Peter McDonald's paintings depict a colourful world inhabited by people engaged in everyday activities. Images of teachers, scientists or hairdressers are constructed with an elementary graphic language. They have a cartoon-like simplicity and waver at the point where figuration might tip at any moment into abstraction. Human forms veer towards the geometric: circles stand in for heads, flat planes describe rooms and crude poses denote narrative. Yet these simplifications appear to create a community of super-humans living in a world that has a harmonious transparency.
McDonald's perfunctory use of paint and high-key colour creates a convergence of illusory space and graphic flatness that is easily separated or recombined; in one instance a slew of expressionistic mark making becomes a crazy, free-standing sculpture. By making use of archetypes, symbolism and our irresistible tendency to make the strange readable, this alternative world operates like a parallel universe, with a very familiar logic and practices. This utopia may be a vision of an ideal world in the future or a simplified and optimistic version of the one we already know.
Peter McDonald, born Tokyo 1973, lives and works in London.
Recent exhibitions include:
East International, Norwich Gallery, UK, solo show, Keith Talent Gallery, London, Moving Collection, Govett Brewster Gallery, New Zealand, all 2003.
2004: Painting, Kate MacGarry, London.
Autumn 2005: solo show at Gallery Side 2, Tokyo.

Who knew that the best place to put Vin Diesel would be between the Rock and a hard place? The spot has never been tighter, or righter, and the testosterone never higher than in the hot jacking action of "Fast Five."
Going mano a mano with Diesel's Dom, the ex-con street-racing Robin Hood, is Dwayne Johnson's agent Hobbs. He's come down to Rio de Janeiro, where the fifth (and best) edition of "The Fast and the Furious" zoom-zoom takes place, to settle some scores. (Memo to Johnson, if you really want to stop the "Rock" references to your former wrestling self, then don't put on 30 pounds of muscle and oil up so the sun reflects off the biceps — not complaining, just saying.)
In Dom's corner is most of his old pit crew, anchored by Paul Walker's ex-undercover cop, now officially hooked up with Dom's sister (Jordana Brewster), because nothing cements a relationship like breaking a prospective brother-in-law out of jail (see No. 4 for more).
Director Justin Lin, who's been in the driver's seat since No. 3, 2006's "Tokyo Drift," kicks things off with a brazen bit of business that involves a speeding train, luxe cars in need of stealing, federal agents dying, a bridge looming and characters actually talking. If I'm not mistaken, Dom's expanded his cache of expressions from miffed, mad and amused to include thoughtful, sentimental and one that is either bliss or bleary depending on the camera angle.
In addition to nearly every actor who's ever taken the "Fast" ride, most of the core creative team is back as well, including screenwriter Chris Morgan for his third go. He and Lin have shifted the story away from the confines of the underground street-racing culture and turned "Fast Five" into a heist movie, though not a typical one (in those the bad guys tend to keep things on the down low).
It's a complicated setup. Things didn't go as planned on the speeding train, and now Rio's slick drug kingpin (Joaquim de Almeida) and his thugs are after Dom and crew. Dom's not happy either and is planning a sting to steal the kingpin's money. Meanwhile, Hobbs has amassed an army to bring in Dom and friends for those agents' deaths. Hobbs conscripts local hot cop Elena (Elsa Pataky), because — road rules — there can never be too many pretty girls or too many cars (started with 300, lost 200 along the way), and now major firepower's been tacked onto the list.
Lin makes sure the humor isn't lost either, with even the sound of guns locking and loading behind every door on one dicey street a very funny bit. As always, the pacing is a strange mix. When things are simmering — the kingpin ordering killings, Dom making up elaborate schemes — everybody just hangs loose, grabs a beer, barbecues ribs. Then suddenly it's pedal to the metal time.
Rio works well as a backdrop for all that — a footrace across rooftops and down alleyways of a hillside shantytown is one of the most visually riveting action sequences in recent memory. The locale is also a good excuse to put about half the dialogue in Portuguese, with English subtitles — no doubt a show of respect to the series' many international fans.
Tucked inside all the running and gunning are a lot of heart-to-hearts about fatherhood, brotherhood, family, loyalty and love in the talkiest "Fast" yet. The best moments though belong to the Diesel and Dwayne face-offs. Although the Rock looms larger, slug for slug they are pretty evenly matched, and fights usually end in a tie. Unlike the loooooong car chases — the finale would be better cut by half; in fact the movie, which clocks in at two-plus hours, should have been "faster" too — the boys' battles are bloody efficient.
Though aesthetics have never really concerned "Furious" filmmakers — I don't think they're going for an Oscar — the sheer audacity of "Fast Five" is kind of breathtaking in a metal-twisting, death-defying, mission-implausible, B-movie-on-steroids kind of way. Not complaining, just saying.

Michael Strahan joins Booker's food stamp challenge
The Newark mayor wants to highlight the challenges of living off government food aid.
Morning talk show host Michael Strahan is adding some celebrity to Newark Mayor Cory Booker's food stamp challenge.
Strahan, who hosts Live with Kelly and Michael, tweeted a picture Wednesday of the first meal he ate living off the equivalent of what people receive in government assistance for food. Breakfast for the former New York Giants defensive end consisted of an omelette made with three eggs and black beans, with a side of mashed sweet potato.
Booker began his week-long SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) challenge Tuesday and is living off a budget of about $30 per week for groceries. That's the same as what New Jersey residents receive if they qualify for the program. The Democrat says he's trying to raise awareness about food security and what he calls the "inequities" of the American food system.
The most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture data says New Jersey residents receive an average of $133.26 a month in what were commonly known as food stamps.
Booker, who is not the first politician to do a food stamp challenge, is using social media tools to share his experiences. In a video about his first day, the mayor holds his dinner (a bowl of salad) and talks about how he didn't plan well and wasn't near the food he purchased.
On Twitter, Booker posted Wednesday afternoon he's starting to feel "caffeine withdrawal" and that his lunch consisted of a can of corn and a can of peas mixed together.

Which Sport Has The Most Physically Fit Athletes?
Products can only be returned or exchanged if they have not been printed or embellished. As a sports fan, I am ashamed to say that I do not personal any team jerseys or memorabilia whatsoever. Hudson was actually thrilled that the show as cancelled since he mentioned it lacked any real spark and had no comedy to it. Vancouver soccer retailer North America Sports has Father's Day present ideas for this Sunday June 19th 2016. UK has pretty excellent coverage, but sometimes I have to use the internet to get very good sports shows as well!
Whilst 45 % of ten-12 year olds stated famous athletes were less probably to engage in promiscuous sex compared with the rest of society, 27 percent of teens surveyed stated sports stars could have sex with whomever they chose. According to Sport Enterprise Associates, international sponsorship of expert sports teams in 2006 is estimated to attain USD 33.six billion-income spent in the hopes of making far more awareness and income for sponsoring brands hoping to grown its market share and attain maximum profitability. To many, the Auburn Hills riot is indicative and symbolic of considerably of what is incorrect in all sports but skilled sports in certain.
Vancouver soccer shop North America Sports has received the new Adidas X 16.1 FG in Silver Metal, Black & Solar Red for Euro 2016. It really is not all about playing sports however, there are other aspects of sport like physiotherapy and coaching roles offered all through sport, with coaching assisting improve leadership qualities and communication abilities. Former football player, Merlin Olsen, starred as Buddy Landau just an ordinary guy who loved sports and and how ended up coaching his son, Lanny's baseball team.
1st I must say that I am disappointed about this game due to the fact my home country Slovenia is not integrated in it. But after all its actually fun playing this game and participating in distinct sports. I do like most sports (as a spectator) but not with the zeal other people have for some games. Sports teaches competitors by means of the improvement of motivation by coaches and the eventual self-motivation of the mature athlete. Despite the fact that sports broadcasting apprenticeships naturally spot you in a position for consideration when jobs turn into available, you can by no means predict when these openings will occur.
Via engaging in sports and with excellent coaching, an athlete is in a position to channel his passion and tough operate for a particular sport into an excellent functionality for team accomplishment. If you want to make it, you happen to be going to have to pursue several additional years of greater education soon after you graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sports psychology.

HTC's party thing is going down in London tomorrow, so I figured I'd have a gaze into my crystal ball and have a quick rant about the various devices we might see.
Of course, we've had a few hints here and there, and there's a freakin' ton of HTC leaks floating around the cyberweb that have yet to be made official. Technically the HTC Evo 3D is the latest from the Taiwanese manufacturer; otherwise it's all top secret. Pfft.
HTC itself isn't giving much away. The invitation simply reads: "It's been a while since we last met, so we thought that we'd invite you to come party - and most importantly see what's next. There will be the usual food, drinks, music and a few phone treats for you to enjoy."
"Phone treats," you say? I wonder if that means we won't see the HTC Puccini tablet, or am I reading too much into that? The HTC Puccini has been talked about since the beginning of May, almost four months ago. Since then we've had a series of leaked screenshots, and some juicy specs to mull over.
The HTC Puccini is said to have a 10.1in display (a good 3.1in bigger than the HTC Flyer), dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and an 8MP rear camera. Sounds good to us. C'mon, HTC. Make it official!
Sticking with Android, the phone we've been waiting months to hear more about is the HTC Holiday. It's thought to break HTC's current smartphone record with a meaty 4.5in qHD display.
Other suggested HTC Holiday specs include a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 1GB RAM, and an 8MP rear camera. We like.
Some interesting HTC Holiday snaps were recently leaked, showing the mammoth smartphone with a seriously damaged screen, and a bizarre California sticker on the back. What the…?
However, the most likely candidates for attendance at tomorrow's party, we reckon, are some of the rumoured Windows Phone 7 devices HTC has been working on.
The smart money is on the HTC Omega, as a press shot recently started doing the rounds. It'll have a 3.8in display, 8MP camera, and 1.5GHz processor, and presumably will run Mango – Windows Phone 7.5.
Or how about the HTC Eternity? It's much the same as the HTC Omega, 'cept it stretches the display to – get this – 4.7in. Man, that'd be pretty awesome. Too big, perhaps?
Finally, there's the HTC Bresson. Named after renowned French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, it's said to be suitably high on the megapixelage. How high? Only 16MP. Cripes.
We'll have loads more on this tomorrow. We won't be surprised if networks "accidentally" start posting stuff before the official announcement. That seems to be par for the proverbial course these days.
Peace out.

Victorville High Speed Chase Leads to Arrest of Phelan Felon
VICTORVILLE-(VVNG.com): After a pursuit reaching approximately 100 miles per hour through Victorville city streets, a 24-year-old Phelan man was arrested. The pursuit began at approximately 4:20 p.m. as the deputy attempted to stop a vehicle with no plates. The male driver of the vehicle continued on through streets including Pacoima, La Mesa, Luna, El Evado, Amargosa, and Maricopa Roads.
The man later identified as Terrence Westbrook was followed by deputies, when according to scanner traffic the deputy lost visual of the driver while he was heading southbound on Wrangler Road.
A San Bernardino County Sheriff's helicopter that was already enroute arrived and quickly located the vehicle at about 4:30 p.m. on Amargosa as he approached Maricopa Road. The suspect was arrested and booked at the High Desert Detention Center for felony reckless evading arrest along with a probation violation for a November 2014 Robbery and a October 2013 drug conviction.

Last weekend was my birthday, so I celebrated by eating too much, drinking too much, going to see Doctor Strange, and spending lots of time playing D&D and Heroscape with my kids.* And definitely not thinking about the upcoming (at the time) election.
Now, I've made no secret about being a liberal, which many people conflate with being a Democrat. The truth is, I really don't care for the Democratic party. It's just as corrupt and hypocritical as the Republican party, and just as repsonsible for the two-party stranglehold on our system. Furthermore, I don't care for Hillary Clinton. I liked Obama (before he got into office, anyway), but Clinton I never liked. She's too facile, too adaptable to whatever audience she's addressing, and I don't believe much of anything she says. But, you know: that's how I feel about most politicians, so that's no great surprise.
And, while I staunchly protest against being labeled a "Democrat," it's certainly true that I voted for more Democrats than anything else on this past ballot—
But let's be clear: I don't disparage Trump because he's a Republican—
And I've heard, and greatly respected, the words of some excellent speakers who have urged us to move on, and to heal, and to try to understand the position of the other side: Stephen Colbert, and Trevor Noah, and Chris Hardwick, and others. Hell, Thandie Newton appearing on The Late Show was surprisingly (and beautifully) eloquent on the topic, telling all of us that we need to reach out to the people on the other side, and reminding us that the speech of hate is generally motivated by fear.
And I wish I could go along with that. But I can't. Because of the whole "grab-em-by-the-pussy" thing.
And, yes, I keep saying that, and I'll probably say it a few more times before we're done, and, yes, it might offend you, but that's a good thing. If it doesn't offend you, and you voted for Trump, well then I totally understand that and I'm not surprised. But if it does offend you, and you voted for Trump anyway, then I have a problem with that. Because, sure: Trump's not a politician, and all politicians are scum. I'm right there with you—
Hopefully I've offended you again. Now, it's entirely possible that every person who voted for Trump was a racist misogynist scumbag just like he is, but I don't believe that. Mainly because I don't believe that very very close to 50% of the people in this country—
Oh, sure: I understand not voting for Clinton. I didn't vote for her either. But you could have not voted at all, or voted for Johnson or Stein (or several others, even less well-known), as I did. We whinge on and on about only having two choices, but no one put a gun to your head and said "pick one of these two." Now, many of my co-liberals are now going to scream at me: "you voted for a third party?!? people like you is why Clinton lost!" I understand that viewpoint. But it's oversimplified. For instance, I happen to live in California. As I told my eldest while being bitched out for voting third party, it ain't like if enough people had voted for Hillary California could've gone double-Clinton in the electoral college. Sure, it's true that in certain places (such as Florida) the difference between Trump's votes and Clinton's votes was smaller than the total votes for Johnson, but to assume Johnson cost Clinton the election means assuming that every disaffected Republican who voted Libertarian would have voted for Hillary if he hadn't been an option ... and that's just silly. There were plenty of Republicans who voted for Johnson—
So I'm really trying to wrap my brain around the rationale for a rational human being voting for Trump. Because, you may recall, this is a man who said it was okay to grab women by the pussy. Now, I've heard a few defenses of this comment. One of them goes like this: it's just locker-room talk. As Trump himself said: "It's just words, people." Oh, good: because it's not like we need the president of the United States to be able to talk to people or anything. Nope, being a leader never involved actually speaking. So that's a moronic defense. Here's another one I heard today: we just don't know what Trump will be like as president, so we need to give him a chance and see what he does. Well, sure: we also don't know what Charles Manson would be like as president, so let's elect him next. You know why we don't know what Trump will be like as president? Because he has no fucking experience. He's never been in charge of anything other than his daddy's money. So, yeah, we technically speaking don't know what Trump will be like as a president. But I know what spoiled rich boys are like, and I know what entitled old white men are like, so I think I can make a pretty good guess.
And, you know what, you could accuse me of stereotyping, and being prejudiced in my own right ... except for that whole "grab-em-by-the-pussy" comment. It really does all come back to that. I am prejudiced if I assume that Trump will act in the worst way of entitled rich white men if all I know about him is that's entitled, rich, white, and male. But the fact of the matter is, I don't have to make any assumptions about his actions—
I want to move on. I want the country to heal, and I want to try to empathize with the disaffected and the disenfranchised and the ignored. But I'm not sure I can. Because it seems like a significant number of Americans may not have been racist and misogynist themselves, but they're apparently okay with having a president who is. And I'm not okay with that.
* And missing another blog post for you guys. Sorry about that.
** That I know of. I voted for three people with no expressed party affiliation, so any or all of them may have been Republican as well.
*** Well, actually, I think one of the Republicans may have been a nutjob too. But I wasn't completely sure.

Report does not look as expected
Posted by Mont Rothstein on 23 March 2016 10:49 AM
The PDF generated report from an HTML template does not look as expected. The spacing and sizing, of both images and text, is different that when compared to other machines running AdamsWeb.
The machine acting as the AdamsWeb server is the source of the difference.
The default scale for the machine (AdamsWeb server) is not 96 dpi.
Verify by going to the "Make it easier to read what's on your screen" control panel, or the equivalent for the OS.
"(default)" should be next to "Smaller - 100%" but it will not be. It will either be next to another option or not displayed at all.
The default registry settings have changed. Since AdamsWeb does not run as the currently logged in user if use's the default settings. The following registry keys need to be checked and updated where necessary. They should all have a value of 60 Hex or 96 Dec. "LogPixels" is the Key that needs to be changed.

Neat implementation of simple de Bruijn assembler in Python
De Bruijn graphs are widely used in assembly algorithms and I guess writing your own assembler is a rite of passage. Hoping to get some answers I got this question from Mick Watson. Since I had a script lying around that I used for validation I thought I would share it.
So let's see how this is done. First we'll need to work with k-mers, which are substrings of a fixed length k. Since we're keeping this as simple as possible we'll use python strings for k-mers. Some functions to work with those
The yield statement in python gives us an iterator object, so we can write stuff like
which will print TATA, TATC, TATG and TATT, i.e. all forward neighbors of the k-mer "ATAT". If we need to convert the iterator to a list the easiest thing to do is
To keep track of all the k-mers…

How are things in black and white then? 36 points on the board as February ends, right enough – a decent place to be. Personally I would want 43 for safekeeping, remembering what happened not so long ago to West Ham... But the main point is that this Newcastle team have shown plenty spirit in adversity. It's not been a bad season yet, on balance, and that is quite something, given the sum of what's been inflicted on supporters, again as before and always, by its repulsive present ownership.
Andy Carroll is gone and I must live with that, as must all black-and-white-eyed supporters, including those who actually believe that a shred of the £35 million we got for Carroll will be re-invested in the team. For the prosecution, though, I call Kevin Keegan, who talked to Gabby Logan at the BBC for a spot transmitted tonight and who cited his own thoughts when recently he heard Alan Pardew telling the press about his hopes for what he'd do with the Carroll money: "Alan – you ain't gonna get any of that..."
