Origin or source of gravity?
View Single Post
Oct24-07, 06:28 PM
Hi Jorrie and Bjarne,
1. It sounds right to me that a comoving observer could measure tidal effects.
2. Bjarne, I didn't formulate my question clearly enough. I should have asked, "Does an electromagnetic field cause geometric curvature of space with respect to a charged particle moving through the field?" In that respect, I note the following from the Wikipedia article on "Maxwell's equations in curved space:"
"In physics, Maxwell's equations in curved spacetime govern the dynamics of the electromagnetic field in curved spacetime (or more generally, spacetime with a non-Euclidean metric). They can be viewed as a generalisation of the vacuum Maxwell's equations as they are normally formulated in the local coordinates of flat spacetime, but general relativity dictates that the presence of electromagnetic fields themselves induce curvature in spacetime, so Maxwell's equations in flat spacetime should be viewed as a convenient approximation."
It sure is interesting to contemplate the idea that an electromagnetic field actually curves spacetime, but in a way that is "apparent" only to charged particles. If it's true, then it reinforces the question of how "real" the curvature of space by gravity is.

Final Score: Denver 63, Utah State 60 (OT)
Logan, UT (Sports Network) - Brett Olson knocked down a 3-pointer at the conclusion of overtime as the Denver Pioneers slipped by Utah State, 63-60, in Western Athletic Conference action at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
Olson finished the night with 17 points, converting 3-of-4 behind the 3-point line for the Pioneers (16-8, 12-2 WAC) as they posted their fifth straight win and the 12th in the last 13 outings overall. Royce O'Neale added 14 points and five assists, followed by Chase Hallam and Chris Udofia with 13 and 10 points, respectively.
The Aggies (17-6, 8-5) were led by Jarred Shaw with 18 points and nine boards, but still the hosts had their three-game win streak snapped. Spencer Butterfield logged 16 points and six boards, followed by Ben Clifford with 14 and seven rebounds in the setback.
Both teams made a total of just nine field goals in the first half, as well as five conversions at the free-throw line, which meant the 25-23 lead for the Pioneers at the break was due to hitting a pair of 3-point tries, compared to nine for the hosts.
In the second half Denver led by as many as nine points, but the Aggies were able to close the gap by making good on 57.1 percent from the field, eventually sending the contest into overtime tied at 54-54.
In the end, it was one of Olson's long balls that put the visitors over the top as they outscored USU by a 21-3 margin on the perimeter.

Duluth Man Accused Of Spending $800,000 In Erroneous Checks From IRS
A Duluth businessman is accused of cashing two checks totaling almost $800,000 and spending the money erroneously refunded to him by the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
The Duluth News Tribune reports that Kevin Charles Owens, 50, of Duluth is charged with four felonies: theft, failure to pay over state funds, failure to pay income tax and failure to file a tax return.
Owens, who is the owner of Owens Yacht Sales in Duluth, has been summoned to appear in court on Nov. 2.
According to the criminal complaint:
On March 18, 2008, the Department of Revenue issued two checks made payable to Owens Yacht Sales Inc., in the amounts of $560,980.12 and $221,982.06.
The department said the checks were issued erroneously "due to human error" and "somewhat complicated internal accounting errors."
According to bank records, the checks were redeemed by the defendant on March 25, 2008.
A Revenue Department internal investigation found that the checks were inadvertently issued when its personnel were reviewing and attempting to correct old taxpayer account ledger systems.
The complaint alleges that Owens was notified of the erroneous refund and was repeatedly requested to return the funds or to make arrangement for payments, but refused to do so.

Test ID: 60506
Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, 6p25.3 (IRF4) Rearrangement, FISH, Tissue
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The test uses a laboratory-developed IRF4 dual-color, break-apart probe strategy. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positive-charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the identification of target areas on the hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide is performed by a pathologist. Using the H and E slide as a reference, target areas are etched with a diamond-tipped etcher on the back of the unstained slide to be assayed. The probe set is hybridized to the appropriate target areas and 2 technologists each analyze 50 interphase nuclei each (100 total) with the results expressed as a percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Samples processed Monday through Sunday. Results reported Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CST.

Sega-16 has a dedicated staff committed to bringing you the best Genesis coverage there is to offer. All of us take great pride in what we do, and we appreciate any and all feedback our readers may have!
Founder/EIC: Ken "Melf" Horowitz [email@example.com]
Ken is the man who started Sega-16 way back in 2004. He is a full-time English professor and has been writing about video games for well over a decade. His work can be found in numerous video game publications (GamesTM, Houston's HAL-PC Magazine, Hardcore Gamer Magazine) and several enthusiast websites (GotNext, The Next Level). He has also published articles in his chosen field of linguistics and ESL (English as a Second Language).
As the founder of Sega-16, much of Ken's free time is spent working on reviews and articles for public consumption. His love of games isn't confined only to Sega's 16-bit consoles, and he enjoys an extensive collection of Playstation and Saturn games. It is most likely, however, that this has more to do with his being a pack rat than a fondness for any particular console.
Editor: Sebastian "Phantar" Sponsel [email@example.com]
Sebastian, aka "The Dancing German," originally hails from the Bavarian city of Regensburg, and is working in PR and occasionally as a freelance journalist in Germany. After being exposed to the world of video gaming at the age of six by the means of C64 and Intellivision, he had a special interest in computers and video games from early on. During a four-month stay in South America he became particularly fascinated with the Genesis' hacks and homebrews scene.
Editor: Alex "The Sports Guy" Burr [email@example.com]
Alex resides in Muskegon, Michigan – forty-five seconds from Lake Michigan, but spends most of his year in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan attending Central Michigan University as a Music Education major. He plays the trombone and will one day within the next thirty years be teaching kids in band somewhere. He has owned the Genesis ever since his seventh birthday and has never lost touch with it. He loves most sports games for the Genesis and will never back down from a challenge in Tecmo Super Bowl, Bill Walsh College Football or any Genesis game for that matter.
Editor: Steven "shinobimusashi" Campbell [email@example.com]
Steven resides in Daingerfield, TX, but grew up in the Houston area. Stevens primary gaming system since 1993 has been the Sega Genesis, and his favorite video game of all time is Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master. He is a die hard NFL football fan and a student of NFL history, as well as a full-time, third generation carpenter.

The Word "Competition" is Not in the Bible
- Thursday, August 22, 2013
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms (1 Peter 4:9-11).
There is a Kingdom principle I find few really understand. The principle is this: When you focus on serving others, your need is often met through God's supernatural law of serving, sowing and reaping.
I've seen this happen so many times. The law of sowing and reaping comes into play in this Kingdom principle. "Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love" (Hosea 10:12). "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:6-9).
God has already pre-ordained your provision.
Yes, that is right. You cannot out-give God. He knows where you were going to live. He knows when you were going to come on the earth. "LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance" (Psalm 16:5-6). "From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands" (Acts 17:26).
God already knows your works: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10).
Whenever God calls me to serve another person with my time and resources, I notice how God measures resources back to me from unrelated sources. Sometimes it comes through an unexpected donation to our ministry or a speaking engagement or a new opportunity. It is uncanny how this happens consistently when I serve others. We are never to view people or organizations as competition. Faith says I do not have to manipulate outcomes.
We don't serve others to get. However, when you do serve others, there is a Kingdom principle that works on your behalf as fruit of your service.
An Audience of One
Eric Liddell taught us about competition as an Olympic runner. I will never forget the scene in Chariots of Fire when he told his religious sister, "When I run I feel His pleasure!" He never really thought about his competition because he only needed to worry about his performance before God. However, his competitor was obsessed about Eric Liddell. He HAD to beat him. But he didn't.
I love to play golf. When I play in a golf tournament, I am not playing the other player. I am playing the golf course. If there is any competition it is that I am fighting my own self-doubt and challenge to swing the golf club correctly. Outcomes take care of themselves. In the Christian life, that is translated as obedience.
For the Christian, we are simply called to obedience and faithfulness. We are to leave outcomes to God. Do those two things and you will always have provision. Even the Israelites had to learn this lesson when they were fighting in the Promised Land. God told them "So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant" (Joshua 24:13). What was God saying? He was saying, "It ain't your problem!!" God was saying, "Do what I say and you will always have provision." Sometimes you will receive less than you think you deserve; sometimes you will receive more than you deserve - because it is all rooted in obedience.

Doctors meet over plans for NHS reforms
Doctors are to debate toughening their opposition to the government's plans to overhaul the NHS in England. Some 350 delegates will come together today to attend an emergency meeting of the British Medical Association (BMA) amid grassroots anger about the plans which could see increased competition. BMA leader Dr Hamish Meldrum said doctors were worried about the "very dangerous" plans. The Department of Health said it wanted to "work closely" with the BMA and was committed to the future of the NHS.
Dock pay for top earners who perform poorly
Top bosses in the public sector should have 10% of their annual salary held back in case they fail to perform, a Government-commissioned report has suggested. The Fair Pay Review said there should be greater scrutiny of executive pay in the public sector with a workers' representative sitting on committees that advises on how much top bosses should earn. The report was put together by Will Hutton, who heads the Work Foundation. The scheme, whereby 10% of a salary is held back, would be the first of its type in the world. It would affect around 2,000 senior staff initially although it could spread to tens of thousands of middle managers on a voluntary basis.
NHS 'worse value for money after investment'
Taxpayers are getting "less for each pound spent" from the NHS as a whole than they were a decade ago, the Public Accounts Committee warns in a report published today. Margaret Hodge, a Labour MP who chaired the committee said: "Over the last 10 years, the productivity of NHS hospitals has been in almost continuous decline. Over the same period, the amount spent on the NHS increased from £60 billion to £102 billion a year. The quality of the health service has improved as a result of this increase in spending. But the taxpayer has been getting less for each pound spent."
A better way to nurse NHS back to health

Leading supermarkets join healthy lifestyles deal
More than 170 companies - including the leading supermarket chains - have signed up to the "responsibility deal" to encourage healthier lifestyles. The full details will be unveiled later, but pledges on calorie counts on menus and clearer labelling on drinks are expected to be made. The voluntary agreements for England cover four themes - physical activity, food, alcohol and health at work. Andrew Lansley has been forced defend the approach after six health groups pulled out of the alcohol strand on Monday, arguing the government was being too soft on the industry.
TUC leader sets out his plans for national demonstration
Brendan Barber, General Secretary of TUC has set out his plans for the first national demonstration against cuts on 26 March. He promises a barrage of protest against government cuts, ranging from industrial strikes and "peaceful civil disobedience".

Pineapple Paper Furniture from Yothaka
Based in Bangkok, Yothaka has been making furniture out of unexpected materials since 1989. Now they've introduced a line made from pineapple paper, crafted from pineapple leaf fibers. The seats of these Pepp Chairs are made from paper that's been pressed and dyed.
We first spotted these designs at Irish Retailer Valoearth's site, and we went looking for the manufacturer. We found a few articles on Yothaka that indicated that they export mostly to Europe and Japan. In Chicago, the Baco Stool is available through Symmetry.
Yothaka also produces Water Hyacinth Furniture and Yan Lipao furniture made from fern vines. Their plant fiber pieces have a very modern look, and they're also an interesting approach to green design.

Symmetry on Division Street carries the table. I saw these they look great. Only concern is that the workmanship doesn't seem that great and the tables are a little bit flimsy. But you can't beat the price though.
Thanks, crewtag! I updated the availability in the post.

Do you like your job? What do you like or dislike about it?
Maria was cutting my hair, and I asked if she liked her job. She said very much, quite exciting to cut hair. Asked what she liked about it, she said she enjoys working with the different textures of hair, fine, medium, and thick. Unexpected and interesting answer.
I hope she was being straight with me, if she actually dislikes cutting hair possibly she would not want to say it to someone whose hair she is now cutting?
Also interested in how you feel about jobs you've had in the past.
If you don't like your job, is there anything you could do to make it better?

David BurnsDec 19 2013: I love it, in fact it almost got me started on a longer rant than is proper for this venue. The really short version is in telling you of my belief that, in ways too complex to summarize here, there is a concerted effort in the econosphere (my made word) which says, "Keep 'em Busy, Broke and Entertained" ... Subtitled, "You Got 'em Where You Want 'em" ... Actually I have been "Just Over Broke" and sometimes a ''SAP" (Super Awful Poor) ... still, I would not get a JOB for any reason I can think of just now. Thanks for the chuckle ... it put a smile on my kisser.

What? Are you saying that I may have false conceptions of an era I had zero participation in outside of other nostalgia-ridden perspectives from suspect sources? That's CRAZY TALK.

EW: Did you model him on a more traditional vampire?
Mark Gatiss: No, Toby gave me this fantastic description. He just sent me a text that said, "Would you come and play the King Vampire?" I said yes immediately. Then, he sent me the script for episode 7, which is where we arrive right at the end, and I have that wonderful line, "Well, who's hungry?" It said in the description that I am dark as the night and older than dirt. I loved that. Also, brilliantly, Toby said, "Let's call him Mr. Snow," as if he's so impossibly old he doesn't really have a name anymore. He forgot it a thousand years ago.

For Consumers
Tentative approval of generic stavudine
FDA granted tentative approval on April 23, 2007 for a generic formulation for stavudine capsules, 30 mg and 40 mg, manufactured by Matrix Laboratories Limited of Hyderabad, India, under expedited review provisions developed for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
"Tentative Approval" means that FDA has concluded that a drug product has met all required quality, safety and efficacy standards, even though it may not yet be marketed in the U.S. because of existing patents and/or exclusivity rights. However, tentative approval does make the product eligible for consideration for purchase under the PEPFAR program.
As with all generic applications, FDA conducts an on-site inspection of each manufacturing facility and of the facilities performing the bioequivalence studies prior to granting approval or tentative approval to these applications to evaluate the ability of the manufacturer to produce a quality product and to assess the quality of the bioequivalence data supporting the application.
This is a generic formulation of the already approved Zerit brand capsules, 30 mg and 40 mg, made by Bristol Myers Squibb, which is protected by existing patent and pediatric exclusivity rights. Effective patent dates are listed in the agency's publication titled Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also known as the "Orange Book"

Product Description
Universal Nutrition Animal Cuts
Stack Animal Cuts with Animal Pak for optimal results. During a pre-contest dieting phase, you can add Animal Stak, Animal Test or Animal M-Stak to the mix to promote muscle gains and conditioning.
Animal Cuts. Since nearly a decade ago when Schak wiped his mighty brow in the iconic "Cardio Sucks" ad, the most hard of the hardcore have depended on Animal Cuts when being lean alone simply wouldn't suffice. The earliest of editions to the Animal line, Cuts did for your typical fat burners what Pak once did for multivitamins—rendered all others obsolete.
Designed specifically with the needs of advanced bodybuilders in mind, Cuts was formulated to produce dramatic changes in an athlete's physique in a brief period of time. To get ripped, shredded, peeled… That was what the Cuts user demanded and that is precisely what they got. That was then and this is now, and though so much has changed, some things always remain the same. Where the supplement advancements of 2009 meet the original Animal ethos, you'll find the brand new formula of Animal Cuts.
The new Cuts formula is advanced and complete, including ingredients designed to promote metabolism and thermogenesis, training focus and diuresis, muscle preservation and thyroid function as well as providing added energy and helping support a healthy appetite level. In this way the Cuts formula is everything the dieting iron athlete needs, totally comprehensive–the supplement bottom line when it comes to displaying the hard muscularity you seek. It is up to you to supply the desire, to stay on your diet and eat clean, to bring it in the gym and on the treadmill. You put in the hard work and Cuts will take care of the rest.
Though it seems impossible to top the results reported by the legions of Cuts loyalists over the years; those that have long regarded Animal Cuts as their secret weapon in the fight against bodyfat, that was exactly the intent from the get-go for the brothers behind the scenes at Animal. It was a tough task, but tough is the only way Animal knows. The higher our standards, the better our products, the more legit your results. Cuz at the end of the day, just like us, results are all you give a fuck about anyway.
With Animal Cuts you get an all-inclusive product. Think of it as one-stop-shopping, everything-you-need-in -a-single-pack. Talk about convenience. You don't have to think about anything, just pop a pack and right down the hatch. It ain't your conventional fat burner. This new Animal Cuts formula maintains the spirit of the old—comprehensive and complete fat shredding power, just taken up to the next level. Unlike most conventional "fat burners" out there, Animal Cuts is more than just a thermogenic. It is a complete and comprehensive fat shredding formula that supports fat loss from multiple angles. Each convenient pack now delivers over 40 active ingredients. Every day, for 21 consecutive days, you'll get nearly 8,500 milligrams of pure fat shredding power to kick start your cutting goals.
The new Animal Cuts formula is made up of eight distinct components which we'll break down in more detail below: (1) thermogenic complex; (2) metabolic complex; (3) thyroid complex; (4) diuretic complex; (5) nootropiccomplex; (6) cortisol inhibiting complex; (7) CCK inhibiting complex; and (8) our special bioavailability complex. Clearly, Cuts is complete from top to bottom.
As a thermogenic, Animal Cuts is extremely powerful. Thermogenesis is the "burning" of calories from stored bodyfat. This in turn increases body temperature and provide a source of utilizable energy to the body. Animal Cuts includes powerful thermogenics. You get pure caffeine anhydrous, methylxanthine-rich herbs—kola nut, guarana, yerba mate, as well as raspberry ketones, coleus forskohlii and evodiamine. The ingredients in the thermogenic complex help boost the body's natural ability to burn stored body fat via thermogenesis and even better, Animal Cuts is lean mass-sparing. On a side note, the new Cuts has a special. Like its brothers, Animal Pump and Animal M-Stak, you can now easily remove the thermogenic complex. Just remove the single red capsule. You'd be surprised how often we got this question in the past…
Directions for Animal Cuts:
Take two Animal Cuts packs everyday for three consecutive weeks. Follow a cycle consisting of three weeks on and one week off. After your one week off cycle, you can repeat another three week on cycle until you reach your goals. Take on an empty stomach.
Do not take if pregnant or nursing. Not for use by those under the age of 18. Consult a physician before using this product if you have any medical condition.

23 – 27 June 2014
With Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim
This course is open for bookings.
News: Five half-price bursaries are available for this course – details below.
For many years we have been looking to science, engineering, policy, law and economics to provide information to help us understand and resolve our complex environmental issues. We now have a great deal of knowledge in these areas, but we still lack the collective will to engage in long-term changes essential for the continued flourishing of our 'Earth Community'. Now we are beginning to recognise that other types of knowledge are needed alongside this information – knowledge from the humanities, from spirituality and ethics.
In this course we will explore the Journey of the Universe – a film, a book and a series of conversations with leading scientists and environmentalists, born out of Thomas Berry's call in 1978 for a 'New Story' and developed by Mary Evelyn Tucker, John Grim and Brian Swimme. The Journey of the Universe is a cosmological narrative that transcends the boundaries between disciplines and integrates science and values to tell the story of our Universe and its evolution.
From this story we will take a new orientation and context as we reconsider our relationship with the Earth Community, looking at the many symbolic and lived expressions of interconnection between us and how they inspire us to action. Our goal for the week is to explore how this new story can evoke the 'Great Work' of our time for social and environmental transformation.
On this course you will gain a fuller understanding of the epic of evolution as a context for inspiring wonder and evoking creativity. We will explore how it is possible for humans to work to enhance Earth's life systems, looking at examples ranging from bioregionalism and transition towns to international efforts like the Earth Charter.
Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim are both currently Senior Lecturers and Research Scholars at Yale University and Environmental Ethicists-in-Residence at Yale's Centre for Bioethics. Together they direct the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale. This project arose from a series of conferences held from 1996 to 1998 at Harvard's Centre for the Study of World Religions.
Mary Evelyn Tucker
Mary Evelyn is the author of Moral and Spiritual Cultivation in Japanese Neo-Confucianism (SUNY, 1989), Worldly Wonder (Open Court,2003), and The Philosophy of Qi (Columbia, 2007). With Brian Swimme, she created a multi-media project titled Journey of the Universe that includes a book with Yale University Press (2011), a film and educational video series. She is also co-editor of Confucianism and Ecology (Harvard, 1998), When Worlds Converge (Open Court, 2002) and Confucian Spirituality (Continuum, 2003). She helped Thomas Berry edit many of his essays for publication including his last collection Sacred Universe (Columbia, 2009). Tucker is a member of the Earth Charter International Council. She serves on the Advisory Boards of Orion Magazine, the Garrison Institute, and Climate Central.
John Grim
John is the author of The Shaman (University of Oklahoma Press (1983), and an edited volume Indigenous Traditions and Ecology (Harvard, 2001). With Mary Evelyn he has edited a Daedalus volume (2001) entitled, Religion and Ecology: Can the Climate Change?, and Thomas Berry's essays, The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, (Orbis Books, 2009). Together they have written a volume for Island Press titled Ecology and Religion that will be released October 2013. Grim is currently president of the American Teilhard Association.

text: One year ago I was sitting at around 150-155 and now I am roughly 173 lbs (and 5'9" tall). This is my ideal weight but my problem is that I am around 15% bf. I want to be around 10% or so but I don't want to pack on more pounds and cut it. If I was to go on a strict diet and incorporate a lot more cardio, would I shed fat thus lowering my bf % but maintain my weight?

Annette from Lockport, NY– Verified Buyer

Frances from Florida– Top 1000 Reviewer
One of the best cat trees I've ever owned. Our cat just loves it. Another great deal from one of our favorite places to shop!
Annie from Riverside NJ– Verified Buyer
the tree is atrative in my living room it went together easily, the cats love it but it is top heavy, and i have large cats (13 lbs each)Elwood decided to take the mouse in his mouth and jump off the top. the whole unit came down. i felt that we could not return it as it was not in new condtion since Jake And Elwood had played on it. my husband cut 3/4 in. plywood to 28 in by 26 in. and covered it in rug, he then screwed it to the cubby house . this has added weight to the base and the boys can't knock it over anymore
oh noooo
Annie from Riverside,NJ
very pleased with the prompt delivory, put together in a very short time,looks nice in the room,well made? my cat was loving it having a grand time playing with the hanging mouse. he held the mouse in his mouth and jumped off the top...he did not let the mouse go and pulled the tree down on himself!!!the base condo should be made of heavier cardboard than it is, or perhaps a wider base would keep it from falling over
"You get what you pay for."
S.F. Cat Lady from San Francisco, CA
Cats can't even jump from one level to the next, both platforms are the same size. Invest in the money and buy something a little more rugged and covered in carpet or sisal (rope), not fur (fabric), something that a cat can sink their claws into.
"The Best Product Ever Purchased"
Johnny from Cranston, RI– Verified Buyer
Has to be the best product I have ever purchased for our cat. Very attractive ,and makes any room look complete. Rouged, and very well built. very easy to assemble.................
Very sweet cat furniture
Olive Tree from Philadelphia– Verified Buyer
We're very pleased with this cat tree as it is big enough to afford the kitties good room to play, but small enough to fit discreetly in our apartment. It's not the sturdiest thing ever, but you can't beat the price. We recommend it!

I think I need to file bankruptcy. Guilt and shame.
I think I will need to file bankruptcy and this is having a profound negative affect on me. Please help me to cope.
Brief background: I lived in a different country to my home country for a very long time. I was working at a job in an environment which was becoming increasingly toxic and was affecting my health. I was on antidepressants yet still suffering from bad anxiety and not sleeping, constant headaches etc. I know it wasn't just me as others had left this company with similar experiences. Believe me when I tell you I was powerless to change the situation apart from leaving. I looked for months for other work, could not find anything. Eventually made a decision that it would be best (for many reasons) for me to move back to my country of birth. I did research on the job market in my birth country, spoke to many people in my industry, networked, etc and felt confident that my skills and CV were very good and I would be able to find a job in a short amount of time, despite the terrible job market. I moved back with a bank loan still outstanding that I fully intended to pay off and felt I could pay off with my assumed earnings. I had several months expenses saved. I could not find a job. I could not even get minimum wage job in basic retail, restaurants, etc. Believe me I tried. I eventually had to live off credit cards (from former country, previously with balances of zero) and then had to get public assistance due to the horrible job market where I literally could not find anything. It was one of the darkest times of my life. After 9 months I found a job which paid just above minimum wage so that I could just barely pay rent and food. Five months later I found a decent job in my field.
By this time I was so far behind on payments they were in collections. I had previously tried to talk to creditors (several times) to set up some kind of arrangement, but I couldn't even make their minimum payments. Now it is at the point where with unfavorable exchange rates, international transfer costs and large amounts (five figures) owed to four different creditors (so four monthly international payments), I can't even start to pay this. I have no assets, no money saved for any lump settlements, not even a car. I've only just started to get back on my feet. I have spoke to an attorney in the country I moved from and explained my situation in detail. He has advised that bankruptcy would probably be best for me.
The thought of this is horrifying to me. It causes me a tremendous amount of fear, shame guilt and anxiety. I am honestly living in terror that people will find out. No one knows and I will not tell anyone. It will be a matter of public record but of course people will have to know to search for it. I am terrified someone will figure it out and search. I am afraid creditors might call my old job there (even though I changed my details with my creditors when I quit) and my old coworkers (some of whom I keep in touch with) will find out.
Even if no one finds out, I feel like a really, really horrible and bad person. Because I am in a different country, this will not affect my credit here and that's not fair. I feel like I should be punished or something. I am not saying that to garner sympathy, I really feel that way. But the shame of people finding out is almost too much for me to bear. I have no intention to ever return to the other country to live. My experience there was sometimes not great (for a number of reasons not relevant here) and I feel sad when reminded of the place I used to live or when I see pictures. I am happy to be back home. I love my job and I think they like me. I think my future is bright. I try to be a good person. I had every intention of paying this back but I honestly don't feel like I can unless the creditors would make generous arrangements with me (low payments over a very long time period), which they won't.
Please tell me how you have dealt with this if you or someone you know has been through it. Please tell me what I can do in the future to make retribution or amends. I am not in a position to pay the creditors now, I can't set up any kind of arrangement where I can defer payments until I am in a better situation.......is there anything I can do to repay society when I am in a better situation?
I know I probably need therapy about this so no need to mention that. I will do so when I am able. Throwaway email: email@example.com. Thank you for your help.

You are being so, so hard on yourself. I have been in a place where I hated myself and was very hard on myself. One of the mental techniques that was most helpful for me was imagining what I would say to a very close in friend in my situation. Usually, it turned out that I would have a lot of sympathy & empathy for a friend, and that woud help me realize (at least intellectually, if not emotionally), that I was an okay-ish person.
So: imagine that your friend worked very, very hard, but had really bad luck and needed to declare bankruptcy. What would you say to him? Be specific - write it out if you can. Do you think that you're different? Why?
Regarding making amends - it sounds like you owe money to credit card companies. I personally have little sympathy for them (I believe debts should be paid, but some unpaid debts are part of their business model). So, if you wish to "repay society" in some way, I would (once you are in a place of financial stability), donate money to whatever you consider a good, worthy, cause.

the following is based on a rough understanding, and not necessarily specific to the US if that's the country in question- the bankruptcy process is there for a reason. everyone is better off by you going through the process than by you not going through the process, theoretically, if you cannot manage to pay off your debtors. the process's main objective, i believe, is not to punish you, but to make the best out of a bad situation for all those involved. Yes, you will have very bad marks on that country's record, and it's enough 'punishment' for you that you cannot take credit in that country. receive it as a blessing if your credit is still good in your country of birth and make this a fresh start.
Of course you can repay society in many ways- volunteer, donate money, etc. but move away from seeing this as a sin as long as you never stole money or engaged in fraudulent activity. Forgive yourself.

Our collective economy is kind of broken, and many of its weaknesses are hidden by people like you bearing the weight of the imperfectly distributed employment opportunities and lenders' fears that discourage investment and related hiring.
My sense is that you will reduce the likelihood of creditors calling your former offices and friends if you declare bankruptcy. Otherwise, they will keep trying to find you at any number they have ever had.
I am sorry you are being do hard on yourself, I doubt it is appropriate.
Congratulations on finding a new job, be kind to yourself and forgive yourself for the decisions you now regret. You did the best you could, that is all anyone should ask of you.

Novel time, sorry.
I have not declared bankruptcy, but that is only because the debts I have are not dischargable in bankruptcy. If I could, I would do it in a moment and smile all the way. About 20% of my practice is helping people and businesses through the bankruptcy process. I run into, on average, about two people a week who are in a similar situation to you, by what I mean are people that the bankruptcy process can help but who refuse to do it out of a sense of moral responsibility for the debts. I would like to tell you what I tell them.
Bankruptcy is moral. Bankruptcy is good for the economy. You are often hurting the economy by not going bankrupt. You are often hurting yourself by not going bankrupt.
1) Bankruptcy is moral.
All bankruptcy is is an organized process for the forgiveness of debts. Forgiveness of debts on a regular basis is found in
. From a utilitarian point of view a debt that cannot be repaid is not helping anyone, since the creditor is not getting their money in any case, and the debtor is caused pain by the debts presence. Many other rationals for the morality of it can be found in other philosophical traditions, and I can't possibly list them all.
But I would like to point out that we, as a nation, have have bankruptcy listed in our founding document (my apologies if you're not in the USA) in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4. Congress shall have the power too pass..."uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States."
2) Bankruptcy is good for the economy.
Money needs to be circulated in our economy. In a large way circulation of money is what economic growth is. We also want the money to go where people think it's going to do the most good. Each persons decisions about where the money is going to do the most good is what the so called "invisible hand of the market". But, people being people, we make mistakes. We spend money on things that we think are going to be good for us and turn out not to be. We make investments that we think are going to thrive and they don't. These debts can stop us from using money in the future in ways that can help the whole market by efficiently allocating funds. Not getting rid of these debts, or thinking that paying off these debts (and thereby encouraging the existance bad products, businesses, or investments) is the
sunk cost fallacy
By not declaring bankruptcy there's a good chance that you're hurting everyone else in society by keeping bad things in existence and not encouraging good ones.
3) You are often hurting yourself by not going bankrupt.
The stress from debts can
injure your health
. Additionally, in the same way that your hurting the overall economy by not declaring bankruptcy (when appropriate), you are hurting your own economic health. This gets back into point number two. If you have to retire without savings, it's the government and society who's going to have to pick up the bill at that point. And you'll be less happy, and we'll be less happy.
On a practical level, creditors rarely call up businesses or people once they enter the bankruptcy process. In part because it's generally illegal and is often, as I mentioned in a
previous comment of mine
, actionable harassment.
95 times out of a 100 you'll never hear from a creditor again once they get the bankruptcy stay. Four of the other times you only hear from them because they have an outdated customer contact computer systems.
So, in closing, if you can go bankrupt. Do it with a smile knowing that you're helping yourself and you're helping the economy. Do it with a smile knowing that some of the wisest politicians have made it legal, some of the smartest economists think it's essential to the economy, and some of the greatest religious and philisophical thinkers think it's the moral thing to do.
If I could, I would. So do it for me too. If nothing else I'll feel better.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE AMENDS. No, no, no. The interest rates that they charge already take into account that some people are going to default. The defaults are paid for. The risk is distributed. The company is not going to be harmed by your bankruptcy; they're only harmed by large numbers of bankruptcies, which evidence not individual moral failings but a problem on the lender's fault in who they were issuing debt to.
The only time I might see someone's point of wanting to make amends is if the debt was acquired due to, say, spending lots of money on drugs or prostitutes or something.
File, and if you want to make amends, make amends to yourself by learning good financial habits for the future, and to society by helping to teach those skills to others.

First, it bears repeating: you tried to do everything right, you made reasonable and responsible choices, and you got hosed by economic forces much greater than you. You owe money to a bank and to credit card companies.
Just a thought: my bank's savings accounts (which are essentially a loan from the consumer to the bank) currently yield less than three-tenths of a percent APR, but their 30-year home loans charge over 4% APR and their credit cards charge 11 to 24% APR. Not only their business model but *their own solvency* is founded on lending money at high rates and borrowing it at low ones, and they do not apologize for that, much less let ideas like shame, guilt, or fairness enter the discussion.
You have become insolvent through circumstances you could not have reasonably predicted. You haven't done anything unethical. Declaring bankruptcy just provides a legal status to move forward.

Claiming bankruptcy was the one of the best things I've ever done. I had huge amounts of medical bills and I was being sued left and right. I felt zero shame and even brought it up to co-workers. A few of them had claimed as well.
I'm not sure why you are being so hard on yourself and agree perhaps you should speak with a therapist or financial counselor.

People and corporations file for bankruptcy all the time. They do this to avoid creditors. If we lived in societies with equitable distributions of wealth, you'd be right to feel guilty. But we don't. We live in societies with giant disparities in economic resources. Most people are debtors. Increasingly, creditors are a small, privileged class. It's the 1%. In that context, bankruptcy isn't wrong. It's a natural, rational response in an unfair system.

Look around, the world is in an economic mess. If an entire country can't manage its finances, why should we mere humans be any different?
No shame. Bankruptcy isn't a moral failing, it's a legal status, nothing more. Going bankrupt is sometimes the result of a catastrophic, economic event in one's life, or it's a decision one makes after weighing the options.
I'm seriously contemplating it right now. Dump the house that's underwater, get out from credit card debt, mmmm. That would feel good.
There's a reason it's erased from your record after 7 years. Because the economy forgives you.
Also, remember all that taxpayer money we gave to the banks, who were horrible about managing money? What about JP Morgan Chase? They lost a metric ton of cash and their CEO is shrugging his shoulders. None of them feels shame. They go home every night to a beautiful spouse, huge house and large cocktail.
So file now. Sleep better. Forgive yourself.

This is what bankruptcy is FOR. It is for when you try your best but you get into a situation that you can't handle.
This system would not exist if everyone didn't agree there is a need for it.
IAAL, I took bankruptcy law in law school, I have helped others file for personal bankruptcy. Read anything Elizabeth Warren has written about bankruptcy. While like anything else, it can be abused, most people who declare bankruptcy do so for a very good reason, often some unforeseen situation like a catastrophic illness, death, or divorce that shakes up their lives. We HAVE bankruptcy so that you can move past this and still be a functioning part of society.

Suppose you're playing a board game with friends and there was something in the game's official rules along the lines of, "A player may, at any time choose to [blah blah blah some special move] at the cost of [blah blah blah considerations]." And if you found yourself in a situation where that special move was a net win for you, you would take it. The other players would not be surprised or angry -- they all read the same rules that you did before starting the game. They would not look down on you, for you're doing the best thing possible for your situation.
Bankruptcy is no different. It is a perfectly valid option that's written right into the rules of the game. All the companies that lent you money knew there was a chance that you might declare bankruptcy and that they would never get their money back. They know this because they read the rules, and they factored it into their fee and interest structure. It's a natural part of their business, no different than a car owner recognizing that they'll need to factor in the cost of new tires and brakes every few years, and a major repair every so often. You are just doing what's best for you, given the rules of the game. Anyone that faults you for that is simply small-minded.

Came here via bswinburn's comment being sidebarred, and agree with everything he/she said. I filed for Chapter 7 eight years ago. I'd recently gotten divorced and had previously assumed a big chunk of the common household debt out of compassion for my estranged wife (who didn't return it), and depression from the failure of the marriage combined with stress from the debt burden helped my drinking spiral out of control, and I got a DUI on top of everything else. I'd assumed that I could surf my credit card debt from one low-interest-rate account to another until it was paid off, but that plan failed pretty quickly, and trying to figure out how to make those payments plus alimony plus various legal costs related to my DUI wasn't helping my newfound sobriety. I was working full time at the highest salary I'd ever had, but still not making it.
Filing for bankruptcy was the best thing I could have possibly done. The credit card companies didn't file a protest or claim or whatever it's called--I may have actually paid off what I originally borrowed from them, anyway, and was simply jettisoning the accumulated interest by then. I had several years of buying only what I could afford to pay cash for, including driving some pretty shitty used cars, but that was useful in helping me learn to live within my means. The reduction in stress will be more than worth it.
Much of the objections to filing Chapter 7 comes from the assumption that some people have that corporations are people. Please don't fall into this trap. You've already tried to make a deal with them and they wouldn't budge, so fuck 'em. They'll just write off the account as a loss and try to find someone else to reel in. The sooner you do this, the better.

The police are treating Sherlock roughly, as if they just caught him in the act. They don't need to handcuff him, because he intends to go with them willingly. He put on his scarf and his coat; he intends to go quietly. But they cuff him and haul him out anyway, with contempt. That is more than John can bear. It's unjust.
John wants to see a warrant, for one. At least a warrant. He demands that they treat Sherlock with respect. After everything Sherlock has done for them: all the cases he's solved for free, after all the good he's done, this is how they treat him, in the end. The way they wing him around so that he stumbles; I wonder if that's the point where John starts to seriously lose his temper. Sherlock is a strange creature, but he is, if nothing else, dignified, and the police are not allowing him any dignity at all. They are deliberately humiliating him.
Given John's fundamentally moral nature, his inclination to defend the people he loves at any cost, the injustice of this arrest, and the willful humiliation of someone he admires while he is helpess to prevent it, it's no wonder he ends up resorting to righteous violence.
Righteous violence is kind of John's thing.
Guys, in the Reichenbach Fall, Moriarty is wearing a tie pin of a FOX.
And in the book, Grimm's Fairy Tales (Also mentioned in the Reichenbach Fall) there is a story about a FOX who FAKES HIS OWN DEATH.
Is this a clue about Sherlock's fake death?? Or did Moriarty actually die??
Alright everybody, this post has been itching at my brain for a while now. There is a Grimm Fairytale where a Fox fakes his own death, called "The Wedding of Mrs. Fox." The fairytale follows an Old Mr. Fox who believes his wife Mrs. Fox is unfaithful, and to prove his point, pretends to be dead in order to catch her cheating. I have no clue what this fucking story's moral is, aside from the fact that Mr. Fox is a COMPLETE asshole and deserves to stay dead for putting his wife through all that bullshit, but dick-ness aside you REALLY have to stretch your imagination to try and make it allegorically link with Jim Moriarty and the Reichenbach Fall at all.
So I did some searching, and found a Greek fable known as "The Fox and (DRUMROLL PLEASE) The Hedgehog" which is the inspiration for the Grimm Fairytale known as "The Fox and the Cat." This fable contrasts the fate of the proud and self-proclaimed clever Fox who has many tricks at its disposal against the self-assured and humble Hedgehog who has but one simple trick. The overlying moral throughout these variants is having one simple trick proves more effective than having many tricks.
The Fox and The Hedgehog team up to steal grapes from a farmer's vineyard. The first time they go, The Fox gets caught in a trap, and The Hedgehog tells the frantic Fox to play dead. When The Farmer approached the Fox, he believed it dead and removed it from the trap. For a second time The Fox and The Hedgehog visits the vineyard to eat grapes. This time, The Hedgehog is snared. The Hedgehog calls out to the Fox, pleading that it come with its "bag of tricks" and free him from the trap, which The Fox claims to have dropped. Stalling, The Hedgehog asks to be forgiven for it's sins, then hugged, and then finally kissed by The Fox. The Fox abides to all three of these, and with the kiss, The Hedgehog bites down on The Fox's tongue, and holds The Fox there until The Farmer comes along, who laughs, kills The Fox, and frees The Hedgehog.
I personally see these connections as something like this:
The Fox = Jim Moriarty.
The Hedgehog = Sherlock Holmes.
The Farmer = Mycroft Holmes.
There is a Greek Proverb that states: "The Fox knows many little things, but The Hedgehog knows one big thing."
That "one big thing"?
Stayin' alive.
Sherlock knew of Moriarty's cleverness. He knew of his many tricks just as The Hedgehog knew of The Fox's. Sherlock knew the only way to win against Moriarty was to make sure Moriarty died. Now, I'm not saying that Sherlock wasn't surprised at Moriarty for pulling the gun on himself, but I do believe that to some extent Sherlock was contemplating coaxing Moriarty into some form of demise.
After all, Sherlock is never show "deducing" Moriarty in the standard textual manner he deduces everybody else, and in the scene where Moriarty postulates The Final Problem in Sherlock's flat, you can bet your best fucking cow that Sherlock was deducing the SHIT out of Moriarty. It's subtle, but Sherlock shows us that he knows Moriarty is left handed, as he purposefully passes Moriarty his tea fashioned for a right-handed person out of spite.
That definitely means that Sherlock knows something about Moriarty that the writers do not want the audience to know that he knows. WE all know he's crazy—WE all know Moriarty feels so fatally bonded and kindred to Sherlock that this could only end in death and destruction. The real mystery was WHAT Sherlock knew. Sherlock knew Moriarty was a fatalist—he wanted to die, but it had to be done poetically—artfully, if you will. Moriarty does mean "To die is an art" after all, do you think Sherlock wouldn't correlate that? Do you think Sherlock wouldn't say "Isn't it OBVIOUS" dryly, sarcastically, in that beautiful baritone voice of his?
So Sherlock had to give Moriarty an artful death. I do not think that Sherlock was exactly expecting Moriarty to blow himself away at the time and place that he did, but I do believe that Sherlock was trying many different methods to see what struck a chord to make Moriarty react. Sherlock:
A. Feigned stupidity by allowing Moriarty to believe he had outsmarted Sherlock (As if Sherlock could decode the: "There is no code" Binary. He patted the rhythm anyways, for Moriarty, to make him think Sherlock he had outfoxed Sherlock.)
B. Threatened Moriarty by dangling him over the ledge.
C. Related to Moriarty in a devilish/angel way.
D. And finally, continued to play the game with Moriarty by laughing and stating that he didn't have to die "As long as I've got you." Meaning, as long as Moriarty was alive, Sherlock could find out how to call off the assassins.
Moriarty, not wanting to lose, kills himself, which makes it SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER for Sherlock to fake his own death. Moriarty, The Fox, was tricked into dying by Sherlock, The Hedgehog, who feigned dying. Now how Mycroft Holmes, The Farmer, comes in a very shadowy manner to pull Sherlock from "death" and free him from danger. We all know Mycroft is an intelligent and far-reaching man—part of the British Government and dabbles in many other secretive matters.
It would be no stretch of the imagination to think that Mycroft (who did not so much as grimace upon reading of his beloved brother's suicide) had some involvement in the cover up and help his brother "die". Moriarty's death was mutually beneficial for the Holmes brothers, so why not just this one time collaborate?
Now both The Hedgehog and The Farmer are freed from the tricksy burden of The Fox.
Never fucking thought about that we never saw Sherlock's deductions of Moriarty. OH MAN OH MAN
Just adding in that Mycroft fits in even better as the farmer when one considers that he'll be funding Sherlock's hunt while he's in hiding, as well as paying the rent on Baker Street. He's in on this whole thing.
Which leads me to consider what Sherlock said when he was cuffed to John, about this not being time for a big fraternal reconciliation. I wonder how much of his plan Sherlock had formulated by that point, and whether he'd already let Mycroft in on it.
Not to mention the apology Mycroft gives John at the Diogenes Club. Depending on how much he knew at that point, he could have been apologizing for very different things, and to John rather than his brother.
"I will fecking kill you all in your sleep"

British alpinists Mark Thomas and Dave Almond have made what is possibly the first ascent of a line they have called Jottnar, (Scottish grade of VIII,8) - a mixed route on the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix, France.
Pitch 1 – 50m – V,6
Belay 15m up from the start of the Perroux Route in a small snowy bay, 20m down and to the skiers left from the abseil on the middle rock spur in the Passerelle Couloir. Climb up a mixed snowy bay and into a corner below an overhanging red granite headwall. Reach a groove to the right of this headwall and make an airy, snowy traverse right to a good belay at its end.
Pitch 2 – 55m, V,5
Move right from the belay and climb the overhanging flakes, exiting right. Follow the vague groove directly up, to the left of the rib, to reach snowy blocks beneath a 15m cracked wall of yellow granite.
Pitch 3 – 55m – VIII,8
Climb up the mixed corner above and enter the long crack on the left of the wall, to the right of the triangular shaped niche on its left. Pumpy torques up this crack lead to a very balancy and exciting step left into the top of the crack on its left and a snowy niche. Climb the corner crack out of this snowy niche and up to the base of the 50m groove.
Pitch 4 – 60m – VIII,8
Mind Blowing!! Climb the groove direct, using the thin ice seam in its back and some amazing layback torquing high up to exit at the finishing moves at the top of the Cosmiques Arete. Awesome!
Pitch 5 – 10m
Finish the last moves up the Arete and onto the Viewing Platform at the Midi Station.

The hospital that had been treating Ariel Sharon says the former Israeli Prime Minister has died.
Hospital spokesman Dr. Shlomo Noy said Saturday: "The Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer announces with sorrow the death of Mr. Ariel Sharon who passed about an hour ago."
He said that during the years Sharon had been treated his condition was defined as "minimal consciousness" and he had had "ups and downs."
"Today his heart weakened and he peacefully departed from his family who were always at his side with love and support."
Governor Pence issued the following statement regarding the passing of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Governor Pence and First Lady Karen Pence met privately with former Prime Minister Sharon during a congressional delegation trip to Israel in 2004.
"Today, we mark the passing of Ariel Sharon, a soldier and a leader who served the nation of Israel in times of war and peace. Prime Minister Sharon dedicated his life to the security and well-being of our most cherished ally and he will forever be remembered with respect by her people and her friends. Our prayers are with his loved ones and all those who mourn the passing of this warrior and leader of Israel."
Congresswoman Jackie Walorski released the following statement regarding former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon:
"I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who spent decades leading the State of Israel. His historic legacy is marked by his courage and commitment to improve Israel's security and dutifully serve the Israeli people. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Prime Minister Sharon's family and the people of Israel during this difficult time."
