Is there any way to quit the eBay app, so that I stop receiving all these event notifications? I like notifications, but only when I decide to run the eBay application...
Do it in the app directly:
Since Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), it's possible to disable notifications for individual apps. Long-press on the notification and go to
Notifications are most useful if an app needs your attention but is currently not in your focus. So i don't think there is a system setting that allows to stop notifications when the app is closed and to reactivate them if the app is started.
Maybe you can send a feature request if that setting would make sense for this individual app. You can contact their mobile support team, find out how on google play.

Natural Causes of 20th Century Warming: Recovery from the Little Ice Age and Oscillatory Change
March 10, 2009
The second International Conference on Climate Change, ICCC-2, took place in March 2009 in New York City. The theme for ICCC-2 was "Global Warming: Was It Ever Really a Crisis?". The conference demonstrated that the number of global warming "realists" is growing rapidly, and the scientific community is turning against alarmism.

Lisa Kuiper is most comfortable in her role as wife, mother and accountant for Ben R Edelen and Sons.
But on Saturday, she'll assume a role to which she's still getting accustomed – that of pageant contest.
Kuiper, the current Mrs. Plus Louisville, will head to the Hampton Inn in Winchester, Ky. to seek the title of Mrs. Plus Kentucky. The nearly three-year-old competition is a preliminary for the 2012 Miss Plus America Pageant, which is June 27-30 in Memphis, Tenn. The contestants compete in a variety of groups based on age and marital status, but all must wear a size 14W and up.
In only Kuiper's second pageant (she competed in her first at age 5), she's had to enlist the help of her pageant director to prepare for the contest. But, her greatest asset may be someone much younger than Kuiper – her six-year-old daughter, Dakota, who's an experienced pageant queen.
"My daughter competes in pageants," Kuiper explained. "I get to experience what she does. … I've learned 'pretty feet,' which is the way to stand and I've learned how to answer questions on stage and give a beginning, a middle and an end. … I think if I didn't have (my daughter) in it, I'd be completely lost, so I think that gives me a little bit of advantage."
Having Richard, her husband of nearly 13 years, around for support has also been key to keeping Kuiper calm and collected before facing the nerve-racking critique of the judges.
"My husband's proud of me," Kuiper said. "This is so not me, and he said this is my time to shine. I worry about my husband and my daughter all the time, so this is my turn."
As a child, Kuiper lived far from the glamourous, pageant lifestyle. Her parents and sister were deer hunters; her father and grandfather were firemen. Kuiper's husband, too, is in the fire-fighting business as a member of the Zoneton fire department. And, it was through her husband's profession, that the opportunity to vie for Mrs. Plus Louisville first came to fruition.
"I direct a pageant called Mr. and Ms. Zoneton Fire Pageant for the Crusade (for Children), and I needed judges," Kuiper said. "I found the Ms. and the Teen Ms. Plus 2011, and they came out and judged my pageant, and so they convinced me to get into this."
Kuiper later found the pageant application online and submitted a headshot, resume and essay, which earned her the title of Mrs. Plus Louisville. The competition for Mrs. Plus Kentucky, however, will call for a bit more effort and pressure, as Kuiper will be placed on a stage in front of a live audience and judges.
"We have an interview portion where we wear a business suit and we go in with a panel of judges, and they'll ask us about current events and what we think is beautiful and why," Kuiper said. "Then, when the pageant actually starts, we have an opening number, which I'm terrified of," she laughed.
Following the beginning of the ceremony, Kuiper and her fellow contestants will be scored on elegant pant-wear and evening gown attire. As part of the competition, Kuiper also had to select a platform to promote. Under the label "Crusading for Children," she will advocate special needs awareness and the WHAS Crusade for Children.
"I'm not in it to be famous," Kuiper said. "A lot of (contestants) say, 'I want to be models' … but that's not what I want. I'm amazed by watching my daughter with a crown on her head and wear her sash (and) the attention she gets. … But, me working with the fire department and the Crusade, that's what I'd rather do."
Win or lose next Saturday at the Mrs. Plus Kentucky pageant, Kuiper will hold her head high. She'll also have proven she could fulfill a role outside of her comfort zone, which she hopes will send a message of encouragement and positive self-image to those who may struggle with self-doubt.
"If I can do it, anybody can do it with self-confidence," Kuiper said. "And, I am really shy, but when I put the crown on and the sash on, it's like you're putting on a costume and you can be anybody you want to be, and you can still grow up and be a princess even if you don't fit the mold."

Current Review of Star Trek Online
TOG Score

The Good
- Graphics * Customization * Storyline * Space Combat * It's Star Trek
The Bad
- Ground Combat could use some work but it is getting better
Space, the final frontier. These are your own voyages. Your mission, to boldly go where no MMO has gone before.
Star Trek Online is an MMO created by Cryptic Studios that places you in command of your own starship right from the beginning. The game takes place in the Star Trek Universe created by Gene Roddenberry in 1968. Your missions take place in the 25th century (The future of Star Trek) in which much turmoil is occurring. The Federation is again at battle with the Klingons. We continue to be enemies of the Cardassians and the Romulans. The Borg are still a menace and many more enemies to add.
When you first begin your journey in STO you must play as a member of the Federation but when you reach level 6 you can choose to join the Klingon Defense force.
As Captain of a starship (Or battle cruiser on the Klingon side) you are in control of the actions of your crew. You get to select your bridge officers and control them during space missions and ground missions. You choose your career field from the three selections - Engineer, Tactical and Science plus you get to choose the type of starship or battle cruiser you command which gives you different play style from defense, repair or offense.

With STO you get to choose your race from many of the Star Trek universe species or create your very own alien race. You get to choose your uniform style of yourself and your bridge officers (BO) , plus you can change the design of your ship. And as you advance in grade you get a new ship and yet again you get to customize this. You can have many different uniforms or off duty uniforms.
Also in upcoming updates it has been mentioned about users being able to create missions and content.
Movement on the ground is primarily handled through the Q, W, E, A, S, and D keys.
W -Move the Player Forward
A -Turn the player Left
S -Move the Player Backwards
D -Turn the player Right
Q -Strafe Left
E -Strafe Right
You can also issue commands to your away team which consists usually of 4 other members of your crew which you get to choose prior to the beginning of each mission.
Controls in Sector Space and in System are similar to controls when on the ground:
W - Tilt the ship's nose down
A - Turn the player left
S - Tilt the ship's nose up
D - Turn the ship right
Q -Throttle up
E -Throttle down
ProgessionWhen you first begin STO you are at the rank of Ensign. This may sound strange to captain a ship at the rank of ensign but the story line gives reasons for this as you progress through the beginning missions. As you advance in the game you gain rank which unlocks new skills. Players advance in Star Trek Online using Skill Points. You will receive Skill Points for completing quests, earning accolades and defeating your enemies. Players will advance through seven Ranks, from Lieutenant to Vice Admiral throughout the course of the game, and each rank contains 10 grades (i.e. Lieutenant grades 1-10, Lieutenant Commander grades 1-10). You will spend the skill points which will give you abilities or advance your abilities. You also earn skill points for your main officers which you distribute through them as you choose.
If you decide to join the Klingon defense force you will find it geared more towards PVP. They have introduced some PVE content in the recent patches and plan on introducing more. The interface and controls are the same, and progression is the same (Ranks are titled differently of course)
Crafting in Star Trek Online is done a bit differently than in many other MMORPGs. Instead of manufacturing or creating items yourself using base ingredients, you instead upgrade purchased or looted items using Data Samples primarily collected from anomalies in space and on ground missions. If you have the item to be upgraded and sufficient data samples in your inventory, you can use the research stations in Memory Alpha to fabricate an upgraded item.
The crafting system is skill based; you gain skill points by fabricating upgraded items. As your skill levels increase, you gain access to more upgrades and higher tiers. There are seven skills in tree tier groupings:
• general applies to Mk II items,
• specialized skills apply to Mk IV and Mk VI items,
• advanced skills apply to Mk VII and above items.
You can unlock the specialized skills if you have 500 points in the general skill and can unlock an advanced skill if you have 500 points in the appropriate specialty. In both cases, you need to speak with the appropriate NPC in Memory Alpha.
The specialized and advances skills relate roughly to the three officer classes:
• Energy Field R&D is Engineering officer oriented,
• Physical Sciences R&D is Science officer oriented,
• Technology R&D is Tactical officer oriented.
Sometimes the same item can be upgraded by more than one specialty.
You open a research station by double clicking it or choosing the "Research and Development" action; this opens up the station window. The window has a tab for each specialty; this shows a list of possible upgrades. Each entry shows the upgraded item, the data samples and item needed as input, the number of skill points earned, and if the item is greyed out, the minimum skill level required.
If the number of each input sample and item is white, you can click "Fabricate" to upgrade the item. However, if any of the numbers are red, you need to go collect more; fortunately there are NPCs in each room eager to sell up upgradeable items at only slightly more than normal prices (they also are stingy when buying items from you).
When upgrading items the data samples and other items can be in your bank. It is not necessary to have them in your inventory when using a research station.
Star Trek Online has much to offer. You can immerse yourself in the Star Trek universe, visit many of the worlds you saw in the Star Trek series and movies. Encounter and interact with many of the familiar races you know. You can play Dabo at Quarks bar on Deep Space 9 or visit the planet of Risa and relax.
The game does have it's faults. Some have said they do not like the ground combat, or others have said the game needs more content (they are working on this with the weekly episodes) others have said it is too easy (This was fixed with the difficulty slider). But if you look at other MMO's they had a rocky start too. I feel this game has great potential and Cryptic is working on it to make it a great game.
So with that said Join us in Star Trek Online, and boldly go where no one has gone before!

I have picked up this title about 3 months and its a blast, not really a trekkie but an avid space combat fan, and it does not dissapoint you when it comes to space dog fights, the ground combat is little to be desired but there improving on it, have a go if your a trekkie or a space combat junkie. Whats not to like commanding your own star crusier against the klingons, Romulans and even the Borgs. Visual wise its stunning game on max settings, where you can zoom in and zoom out 5/5 Stars i give this.
I have been giving this game some thought as Warcraft is geting boring. Thanx for the great review, think i'll give it a go.
I played through the Beta and for a couple of months afterwards and to be honest it does not sounds like they have made many improvements (if any) to the ground combat. Though the space combat is fun for a while the endless circling and clicking gets a bit boring. Without a hint of any improvement it is not worth £9.00 per month
There is one major floor with Star Trek..... its a Cryptic Game. If I was a game design teacher, I would give Cryptic a 65%-70% pass on every game it has ever done. Passable but there is never any 'wow' factor, or spirit in it... at least none that permeats to me the player. The other loss of percentage points would be for plagerism ( using the same front end loaders for EVERYTHING ), and same graphic style too. Just bland, bland, bland all around. Out of all their games though, I think STOL had/has the most potential for success and something new. Im just done with Cryptic.
Forgot to rate it. I'll be generous and say 3 stars as it is a pass.
this is very amazing i think العاب فلاش اوجو

MORRISTOWN - The students responsible for making false bomb threats that prompted four evacuations of Union Local school buildings in as many class days will be suspended and may be expelled, Superintendent Kirk Glasgow said.
Four students confessed to making five threats that were discovered at both of the district's school buildings during the previous two weeks, according to Glasgow. The superintendent said those students will be suspended from school for 10 days.
They may miss additional class days, Glasgow added, as their respective principals recommended they be expelled from school for their actions.
The principals' recommendations initiated due process, and hearings will be held before the students' fates are determined. The principals will make their case for expulsion to another school administrator during the hearings, while the student and his or her parents will speak on the child's behalf.
The school administrator will pass along their recommendation to Glasgow, who will decide whether to expel the student.
Dates for those hearings had not been set Thursday.
The investigation has not concluded either, Glasgow said, as school officials believe some of the students who made the threats may have been influenced or persuaded to do so by their classmates.
"There might have been a little egging on, or whatever you want to call it, so we're trying to find the end of the trail," he said.
School administration and law enforcement met with students at all three schools Tuesday to discuss the consequences of making false threats.
Glasgow said that message missed some of the younger students, as two more threats were discovered in the elementary school later that day.
"The little ones, they just don't understand what they're doing," Glasgow said of the elementary students. "They think, 'Someone else did it, I'm going to do it.'
"The younger they are, the tougher it is to get through to them," he continued. "The older students are getting fed up with it. They're tired of it, and they want it to stop. They tell me it's embarrassing."
Bomb threats were discovered in school buildings on Nov. 19 and 20, prompting evacuations. Students were off for the Thanksgiving holiday the next three days. Teachers and students returned to the classroom Monday, when another bomb threat was found and officials again evacuated the buildings.

6 Famous People Whose Identities We Still Don't Know
#3. The Woman Who Could Prove or Disprove all JFK Conspiracy Theories
For those of you who failed basic history, well-known playboy (and American president) John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, TX, in November of 1963.
There's probably a movie about it somewhere.
Kennedy was shot by a local communist named Lee Harvey Oswald from a building across the street from Kennedy's passing motorcade, but there are a number of major conspiracy theories that postulate that either the actual killer, or least a second shooter, was positioned on a small embankment now known as "the grassy knoll."
People present at the assassination saw what happened -- some a little better than others. Among these, probably the best-known person never to be identified is the "babushka lady." While wearing said babushka, she is seen in the Zapruder film (the only recording of the assassination) standing directly across the street from the motorcade when the car was fired upon. Even more, she was taking pictures of it ... pointing her camera right at the grassy knoll.
"Wow, I have a great view of all those Cubans and mafia members with those rifles!"
Essentially, if the conspiracy theories are true and there was a secret shooter over on the grassy knoll, it's pretty likely that, unless she had her lens cap on the whole time, the babushka lady took several pictures of him.
So Who Was She?
Amazingly, despite numerous clear photos of the woman that day, no one has yet been identified. Only one person has really even come forward. In 1970, a late night dancer (i.e., stripper) named Beverly Oliver came forward as the babushka lady. She even wrote a book, claiming federal agents came and took her film, never to give it back. Convincing, until you look at the little things like the fact she doesn't have proof she was even there, or that she claimed to use a camera model not made until the late 1960s, or how video experts say the woman was clearly middle-aged, while Oliver was just 17 at the time.
Well, maybe 17 in Russia.
Of course, what makes the JFK assassination conspiracy so fascinating to people is the idea that someone could actually have gotten away with killing a world leader. From John Wilkes Booth to Gavrilo Princip, assassins usually wind up with their names in the pages of history books. But not ...
#2. The Killer of Sweden's Prime Minister
In 1986, the Prime Minister of Sweden, Olof Palme, was on his way home from a movie with his wife in downtown Stockholm. A man holding a handgun leaped out of the shadows and pointed the gun at him. But Palme's bodyguards quickly overpowered him, right? Well, no, as Palme did not really believe in bodyguards, because Sweden is safe and everything. Kind of a mistake, because he was shot and soon died.
Something tells us Cancer Man is behind all of this.
The killing raised several questions about Prime Minister security, gun control in Sweden and, probably most urgent, who the hell did it. Assassins are always out for the spotlight, right? To promote whatever insane cause turned them into assassins? And even if not, it's not like they could survive a nationwide manhunt. Right?
Unless he hid in the cinema at a time where there would be no other witnesses,
like during a showing of Police Academy 2.
So Who Was He?
It would be more than two years before a suspect was even arrested. Palme's wife picked a junkie named Christer Pettersson out of a lineup, but he was let go because the weapon wasn't found, he had no real motive to commit the crime and Mrs. Palme doubted herself in picking him.
Apparently looking like a criminal isn't an offense.
With no suspect, Swedish authorities have gone international. Numerous theories have been put forth, ranging from German terrorist groups to Yugoslavian hitmen. But perhaps most convincing is the argument for apartheid-era South Africa ordering the hit.
Or according to the film, a random British guy, which is the go-to bad guy for all films everywhere.
Palme was known to speak out against apartheid, and one week before he was killed had said, "Apartheid cannot be reformed, it has to be eliminated." Palme was also working on getting an early release for Nelson Mandela, who could have been president much earlier than his election in 1994. Former South African police have even given Swedish authorities the names of the men who they claim ordered it and did the shooting. But, as of now, the assassin remains the only killer of a Western prime minister or president in history to ever escape unknown.
#1. Jack the Ripper
When the words "serial killer" and "Victorian era" are combined, chances are you land on pretty much the best-known serial killer of all time: Jack the Ripper. Terrorizing London's prostitutes in 1888, Saucy Jack managed to kill five prostitutes while leaving London all aflutter on who it was, thinking up insane theories, calling for blood and criticizing the police.
So pretty much like today, except their political drawings were comprehensible.
The London police did all they could: going door to door asking about the murders, investigating suspects, erasing vital clues written on city buildings and pretty much doing the equivalent of a 19th century CSI team. Yet nobody brought in Jack or came forward claiming to be him, and by 1890 the hysteria had died down.
English authorities got back to what they did best: harassing the Irish.
So Who Was He?
Despite being a cold case pretty much from 1888, we still have no idea who the guy was. Pretty much any detail about the case is disputed. For example, police thought, due to the way the killings occurred, that the Ripper could be a surgeon or a butcher. Others said it was impossible, as the killings required almost no skill. The press and the police at the time also did not agree on the suspects. The police mainly favored immigrants and eccentric citizens, while the press suspected anyone from doctors to mental patients with syphilis. Even today's researchers can't agree, with new suspects including members of the royal family and Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll.
"Oh dear," Alice said, "my experiences with prostitutes seem to always end the same way."
Like the Zodiac Killer, Jack also left a number of clues. At one murder scene he scrawled, "The Juwes will not be blamed" on the wall. And as Cracked has noted elsewhere, he actually mailed a letter to the police, with a half-cannibalized human kidney enclosed. Unfortunately, the police actually lost all evidence of the letter and kidney, thus ensuring that modern day DNA, fingerprinting, handwriting and paper-type analysis would have no chance of revealing the identity over a century later.
We are still no closer to finding the killer than we were over 100 years ago, and it will probably stay that way.

WACO (February 6, 2013)—Waco police and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force made an arrest Wednesday in a robbery that left a convenience store clerk injured.
Authorities arrested Marvin Jerome Parr, 30, Wednesday morning at his home in Bellmead on a warrant charging aggravated robbery that stems from a holdup on Dec. 12, 2012 at the Cefco store at 2000 North Valley Mills Dr. in Waco.
Parr was taken to the McLennan County Jail.
A female clerk at the store told officers she was struck in the face and that the store's bank bag was stolen as she walked her car in the parking lot to make a trip to the bank.
Police were looking for two men who were thought to be involved in the robbery, both of whom left the store on foot.
The clerk was not seriously injured.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Mayor Bruce Wilkerson joined others across the country to proclaim Tuesday as Mayors Day Of Recognition and National Service.
Members of the Foster Grandparent and Retired Senior Volunteer Program were honored at Parker Bennett Curry Elementary. The programs match seniors with children who have special needs or desire an additional mentor.
Those who volunteer say they are honored to work with children each and every day.
"Well I decided to try and use some of the knowledge that I have to help others. It's very enjoyable. I mean it's something to get up and look forward to coming to work everyday because you know you are going to be doing something to help some child," says Volunteer Betty Nunn.
Parker Bennett Curry Elementary is a volunteer station for both programs. Community Action of Southern Kentucky says last year volunteers provided 97,581 hours of service.

Boston Conservatory to Honor Emanuel Azenberg and Bruce Marks
You are hereHome/ Boston Conservatory to Honor Emanuel Azenberg and Bruce Marks
BOSTON---The Boston Conservatory will honor Broadway producer Emanuel "Manny" Azenberg, as well as Bruce Marks, former Artistic Director of Boston Ballet, at its 142nd commencement ceremony on Friday, May 14 at 2:00 pm at the Back Bay Events Center in Boston. There will be 174 degrees awarded, including 83 Bachelors, 77 Masters, 13 Graduate Performance Diplomas and one Artist Performance Diploma. In addition The Boston Conservatory will present its Distinguished Alumni Award to Pam Pariseau (B.F.A, musical theater, '88).
Emanuel "Manny" Azenberg is a legendary producer of American theater, producing some of the most successful shows in the history of Broadway, including Ain't Misbehavin', Sunday in the Park with George, Children of a Lesser God and The Iceman Cometh. Azenberg is perhaps best known for his relationship with playwright Neil Simon; he produced all of Simon's plays on Broadway, including Brighton Beach Memoirs, Biloxi Blues, The Sunshine Boys, Broadway Bound and Lost in Yonkers, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1991. Azenberg's productions have earned a total of 134 Tony Award nominations and won 40. Most recently Azenberg produced a successful revival of the The Odd Couple starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. He taught theater at Duke University for 20 years, and was elected to the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 2009.
Bruce Marks was the Artistic Director of the Boston Ballet from 1985 to 1997. Marks received his performing arts training at the New York High School of Performing Arts, Brandeis University and The Juilliard School. In 1956, he joined the corps de ballet of the Metropolitan Opera School and in 1958 became premier danseur. Marks joined American Ballet Theatre in 1961, soon being promoted to principal dancer. In 1971 he became the first American principal dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet where he remained for five years. In 1976 Marks was named co-artistic director of Ballet West and in 1978 he took over as artistic director. A founding member of Dance/USA, Marks was chosen in 1989 to replace the late Robert Joffrey as chairman of the International Jury of the USA International Ballet Competition.
The Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented to Pam Pariseau (B.F.A., musical theater, '88), Vice President of James Hammerstein Productions, a theatrical production company that works on and off-Broadway and in London's West End. Broadway credits include Superior Donuts and The Seagull with Kristin Scott Thomas and Peter Saarsgard. West End Productions include Dealer's Choice, Sunday in the Park With George and Dirty Blonde (featuring original Broadway cast.) Off-Broadway credits include: Our Town directed by David Cromer (the longest running OUR TOWN ever), My Name is Rachel Corrie (directed by Alan Rickman), and Bat Boy The Musical. She has served as Creative Director of National Artists Management Company (producers of Chicago on Broadway), and Casting Director/Literary Manager for Musical Theatre Works (a non-profit dedicated to developing new musicals). Along with Gordon Greenberg, she founded and served as Artistic Director for the Broadway Classroom program.

The new Miracle mechanic causes a replacement effect for the casting cost of the card, which must be revealed and played immediately. How does this interact with flashback? If a player plays a card for its Miracle cost, what is the flashback cost of the card if it's flashed back with something like Snapcaster Mage?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Snapcaster Mage: Bold for emphasis.
The flashback cost will be the mana cost of the card, shown on the top right corner of the card. Alternative costs such as the Miracle cost are irrelevant.
But what if you had a Bösium Strip in play?
The Miracle cost may only be payed if that card is the first card drawn from your library in a turn, and only when you draw the card. Clearly if the card is in your graveyard, it cannot be drawn, so the replacement effect for the casting cost will never apply.
As an aside, note the implications for a card like Future Sight. If you play the top card in your library that's revealed, you won't be drawing it, so you must pay full cost.
Miracle is an ability that only applies as you draw the card. This has no interaction with casting from the graveyard. (I can't speak for future MTR, but I'm assuming judges won't let you pay the miracle cost if you've already let the card touch your other hand cards, period.)
Furthermore, the general rule is that alternative costs don't mix.
It's only by paying the alternative cost for flashback that you are allowed to play the spell from your graveyard in the first place; normal cost modifiers (like Thorn of Amethyst) and additional costs (like kicker) still apply, but the base cost is the flashback cost and only the flashback cost, not the miracle cost or madness cost or any other alternative cost. A Mindbreak Trap you've given flashback with Snapcaster Mage, for example, will still cost 2UU to play even in circumstances where it would cost 0 to play from your hand (due to its trap ability).

Street Fighter {RP} - 03-29-2010, 09:34 AM
1. If you wish to join this RP, you must join as an established Street Fighter character. You must also play in character and not twist the character to suit yourself. Pairings are allowed, as there are many matchups hinted at in the Street Fighter universe, however be realistic.
2. Please PM me first before joining, unless you are experienced at RPing. If you are unsure as to whether or not I consider you experienced, then I'd prefer it if you messaged me rather than just jumping in.
3. If a character is taken, then hard luck; choose another. A list of Street Fighter characters can be found here. Please don't just choose one at random; think about whether or not they already fit the established plot first, and second if you can get a feel for them.
4. No Mary Sues/Gary Stus. Obey the RPG forum rules.
5. There are no character forms, so you must introduce the character within your intro. If you wish, you can do as I have done and make a "then" intro paragraph which is set in the past before you make your "now" one, but this is not compulsory. It's just something that's good to do to help other people get a feel for your character, especially if they are unfamiliar with the characters.
Character List.

M Bison is the ruthless leader of a secret terrorist organisation, Shadowlaw, and has been ruling it with an iron fist for years. As well as his various shady deals, including selling weaponry to various guerilla groups, Bison's main obsession is of finding the world's greatest fighter. Should he find this champion, Bison's evil plan is to brainwash him or her in order to use them as an assassin. But that is not his only plans for this as yet unknown individual. Bison has a secret laboratory, the location of which is unknown to all but Bison and his most trusted henchmen. He has for years been working on various experiments; cloning, tissue combinations, drugs; some of which have been tried out and found to be successful. These experiments are cloaked in secrecy, but some of the subjects who endured these inhuman experiences are still alive, and still out there somewhere in the world, tho not without both mental and physical scars. M Bison plans to find this mythical greatest fighter by holding a street fighting tournament for all the greatest fighters in the world. He will pit the competitors against each other and also against the most powerful fighters in his organisation. The last left standing will be the winner.
Elsewhere, rumors abound of an underground terrorist organization that has unleashed several attacks on worldwide governments and political figures around the globe. The people are frightened, suspecting government conspiracies and cover ups. The assassin is rarely glimpsed, but leaves a trademark in the form of a slashing claw mark on the victim's front door. These people are not even safe in their own homes, not even with the best security money can buy. The mystery assassin can get into any house, any apartment, any hotel room... and he does this with stealth and secrecy, so much that there are no witnesses who have seen him enter. In fact, on several occassions, the only inkling that anything was wrong was the next morning when the victim was discovered dead. The bodies are never intact; they are torn and butchered as tho attacked by a wild animal, with blood spattering all over the walls. Only the trademark claw slash in the wood is the clue that links all the killings together and shows that they are all committed by the same assassin... but there is no other evidence. Interpol believes that the assassin is in the pay of Shadowlaw, and has dispatched its finest members to track down the organisation's sinister leader, M Bison.
M Bison however has other concerns to focus his attention on. One is of course Interpol; which threatens to destroy everything that he has worked hard to set up. This faction is getting closer and closer to discovering his secret and destroying the work that has gone into establishing Shadowlaw and everything connected with it. Another is a military team who are unhappy with the arms deals that Shadowlaw has with various terrorist and guerrilla factions who are the enemies of the civilised world and who seek to attack the powerful countries America and the UK. This team has vowed to track down Bison and Shadowlaw and ensure that neither are around to cause any more trouble. Bison does not believe that he can be defeated, however only a fool would ignore a double threat like this; and Bison is no fool. Not only does he have convential weapons at his hands, but also his own supernatural powers which can be utilised against those he considers his enemies. He also does not care if representatives from both factions attend and compete in his tournament. Let them come. Let them come and be defeated once and for all.

For new Q&A sites, does Stack Exchange offer their framework so that other teams can create new sites or is it all in-house?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Area51 is where new sites (topics, as you put it) can be suggested.
There is a whole process of them going into private beta, public beta and graduating (or not).
The process is public and community driven - anyone can suggest a new site, so in many ways - nothing is "in-house" (very few exceptions - the original trilogy of Stack Overflow, Super User and Server Fault and Ask Patents, which was a special deal with the US office of patents).
If you are talking about making your own site outside the Stack Exchange network...
Then yes, you are allowed as long as you:
I think I covered everything, but comment if I didn't.
You can't copyright the look and feel of a site or app. You can patent it, but as far as I know, SE doesn't have any patents (again, comment if I'm wrong).
If you are talking about making another site inside of the Stack Exchange network...
Then yes, you are still allowed :-).
Stack Exchange created Area 51 for just that: so that users can propose new sites. If you have a new site idea, go ahead and propose one on that site! From the Area 51 FAQ:

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Business leaders are getting ready to start their engines and take the green flag.
The Mini Corvette Challenge benefiting Junior Achievement hits the track Saturday morning. During the day Friday officials prepared the race course and spectator areas. It's not your typical race track as drivers will be weaving through right and left turns.
"We've got the track setup. It's a bunch of straw but there are some curves and chicanes to make the race a little more interesting and exciting. It's not just an oval track so the teams will have to do some strategic driving," says Heather Rogers from Junior Achievement.
Racing starts Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with the championship race taking the green flag at 12:30 p.m.
The event is held at the National Corvette Museum and is open to the public.

And second, it means I'm home in the afternoons! I can spend time with my super-spoiled Jack Russell/Chocolate Lab mix, Copernicus, and our Golden Retriever, Lola, who are the doggy loves of my life. And with my fiance Jim! I have a new passion to go with my loves of books, movies, and metal detecting....fishing! I love it! Once I'd caught my first (ever) fish, I knew it was something I want to do a lot of. And I have!

SAN FRANCISCO � The lead at the U.S. Open belonged to Michael Thompson. The buzz came from Tiger Woods.
And the struggles came from the three players atop the world rankings.
Even as Thompson strung together four birdies on the back nine at Olympic Club that carried him to a 4-under 66, Woods put on a clinic on the other side of the course on how to handle the toughest test in golf.
He never was out of position. None of his tee shots found the deep, nasty rough lining the fairways. There was little stress for such a demanding major.
With consecutive birdies late in his round, including a 35-foot putt that banged into the back of the cup on No. 5, Woods opened with a 1-under 69 to raise hopes that he finally can end that four-year drought in the majors.
�I felt like I had control of my game all day,� Woods said. �Just stuck to my game plan � and executed my game plan.�
He was vague on the details of that plan, though it surely wasn�t the one followed by the other two guys in his star-powered group. Phil Mickelson hit a wild hook for his opening tee shot that never was found, presumably lost in a cypress tree, and he matched his worst opening round in a U.S. Open at 76. Bubba Watson chopped his way through the rough to a 78, showing that �Bubba Golf� works better at Augusta National than at Olympic Club.
They weren�t the only ones to suffer.
Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, is trying to capture his first major. It most likely won�t be this one. He failed to make a single birdie and shot 79. He played with Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and No. 2 in the world, who shot a 77.
Lee Westwood, No. 3 in the world and the other member of the top-rank group, was 4 over through six holes and rallied for a 73.
Nick Watney holed out from the fairway for an albatross 2 on the par-5 17th hole, sending him to a 69.
Graeme McDowell, who won the U.S. Open two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach, and Justin Rose also had a 69 in the faster conditions of the afternoon.
David Toms shot his 69 in the morning, relying on a solid short game and a good attitude.
�You really just have to concentrate, give it your all on every shot and never give in to the golf course because it will punish you if your attitude is not good, if your concentration is not good,� Toms said. �There�s just too many hard shots out there to really ever give in to it and not be there.�
Thompson�s game seems to work on this quirky, tree-lined course built on the side of a giant dune that separates the Pacific Ocean from Lake Merced. He was runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club and couldn�t wait to get back.
After a roller coaster of a front nine that featured consecutive bogeys and holing a bunker shot for birdie on the downhill par-3 third hole, Thompson hit his stride on the back nine, even if hardly anyone was watching.
He made five consecutive 3s � three of them birdies � and closed his dream round with a 10-foot birdie putt on the short, tough 18th for the lead. Thompson took only 22 putts.
�On the back side, the putter ... seems like every putt went in the hole,� said Thompson, a 27-year-old playing his first U.S. Open as a pro. �Got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up. It�s always a little bit of an adjustment. In that sense, I kind of wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the beginning.�
There weren�t enough cameras or fans to find Mickelson�s opening tee shot, but it was easy to find Woods.
He missed only four fairways � three of them that ran off the severe slopes and into the first cut, the other into a bunker on the 256-yard seventh hole, which is where he was aiming. The only glitch was failing to get the ball closer to the hole with short irons, including the 14th when it landed on the back of the green and bounced off the base of the grandstand.
That led to one of his two bogeys, the other at No. 6 with a poor bunker shot. The only surprise was a good one � the 35-foot birdie putt on the fifth that he struck too hard and worried it might lead to a three-putt until the hole got in the way.
�Five was a fluke,� Woods said. �That putt was off the green.�
Olympic wasn�t that simple for most everyone else.
Watson was asked about his strategy of hitting his pink-painted driver. �I shot 8 over, so not very good,� he said. The next question was how he played out of the rough with short irons in his hand. �I shot 8 over, so not very good,� he said.
�You could answer these yourself,� he said.
A marine layer in the morning allowed for cool, overcast conditions that eventually gave way to sunshine. That didn�t help.
Steve Marino opened Round 1 with an 84.
Zach Johnson didn�t feel as though he played all that badly until he signed for a 77.
Padraig Harrington thought the course was fair and allowed for good scores, but he had two four-putts and a three-putt that ruined a reasonable day and gave him a 74.
�It just goes to show that firm greens scare the life out of professional golfers,� Harrington said.
Mickelson was looking forward to playing with Woods � the last time they were together, Lefty closed with a 64 and buried him at Pebble Beach in February � but he could not have envisioned a worse start. The hook was bad enough. But as Mickelson approached the gallery and looked for a crowd surrounding his ball, his eyes widened when a marshal told him, �No one heard it come down.�
Five minutes later, he was on his way back to the tee.
Mickelson made an unlikely bogey on the hole, added two more bogeys and was fighting the rest of the day. A three-putt late in the round cost him dearly, and now Mickelson only can hope he�s around for the weekend.
�I can�t really think about the lead or anything,� said Mickelson, who was 10 shots behind. �I�ve just got to make the cut right now, and to do that I�ve got to shoot something under par.�
Woods is coming off his second win of the year at Memorial, and while that made him the favorite at the U.S. Open, recent history left some questions.
He won Bay Hill by five shots going into the Masters, then had his worst performance as a pro at Augusta National. Woods said he wasn�t hitting the ball as consistently well in the spring, not like he is now. And it showed.
�That was the old Tiger,� Watson said. �That was beautiful to watch. That�s what we all come to see. That�s what we all want to watch, and that was awesome to see him strike the ball good.�
It wasn�t enough for the lead, but it was enough to break par, which never is bad at Olympic Club.
Thompson, who said he had only a few hundred people following his group, understands all the fuss over a 14-time major champion who is showing signs of returning to the top of his game. He was more than happy with a 66 and his name atop the leaderboard, and he made it clear he wasn�t going to settle for one good round.
�A lot of people don�t know who I am, and I�m totally OK with that because I�ve always been a player that just kind of hangs around,� Thompson said. �I don�t give up very easily, and I�m very proud of that. Give Tiger the spotlight. I don�t care. I�m going to go out and play my game. If I go out and putt the way I did (Thursday), I�ll be in contention.�

BELTON (February 16)--Communities in Schools, a non-profit agency that helps kids manage problems and find solutions, is also helping them find their hidden talent. Saturday, over 60 performers took center stage and they all had one thing in common.
"Their communities are different, their backgrounds are different, their struggles are different, but today they are all alike," said Mary Barr, Executive Director for Communities in Schools. There are 28 programs in Texas and Barr's district, which consists of seven school districts, is the third largest in the state. "We have right at 50 schools from Cameron all the way to Copperas Cove," said Barr.
Barr has a staff of 60 people who are located within the schools so kids, parents, teachers and administrators can find them any time they are in need. "We are a support system," said Barr. "No matter what the problem, the staff tries to remove as many obstacles as they can from the can from the pass of these children being successful."
Communities in Schools held a talent show at the performing arts center at Belton High School. "I will be dancing a lyrical hip hop," said Daija Merida, Travis Middle School student. "I've been practicing for like two weeks, I feel very excited and happy and having fun... And I love the costumes."
"Were just going to sing a song that kind of like explains that no matter what happens, you always have to stay focused and never let anything get you down," said Eugene Aurelia, Shoemaker High School student. This is Aurelia's second year performing in the talent show. He thinks Communities in Schools has been very beneficial through his years in school. "The program helps out kids even if their not having such a bad time," said Aurelia. "It helps them out, gives them someone to talk to. They are kind of like a family, like how they treat each other and how they support each other...like they are always there for you know matter what."
Barr said that there was mix of talent at this year's show. "There are dancers, singers, guitar players and even mimes," said Barr. "There is one group bouncing basketballs to song and another stacking cups to music."
The next big event for Communities in Schools is the annual track meet at Leo Buckley Stadium. The event will take place April 20 and kids from kindergarten to sixth grade can participate. According to Barr last year's event had over 600 kids. "We encourage everyone to come and watch these kids do their best," said Barr.

Here are some common shutter speeds you will find on most DSLR cameras:
1⁄15, 1⁄30, 1⁄60, 1⁄125, 1⁄250, 1⁄500, 1⁄1000, 1⁄2000, 1⁄4000
As you move from left to right, or as you increase the shutter speed, you are halving the amount of light that hits the sensor. In other words, you are decreasing the amount of light by one stop for each step. So 1⁄30 is half of 1⁄15, and 1⁄60 is half of 1⁄30. But then you come to 1⁄125, which is not half of 1⁄60 — half of 1⁄60 is 1⁄120. This is basic math.
So you break the sequence or pattern. But as you continue, it starts to make sense again. So 1⁄250 is in fact half of 1⁄125, and 1⁄500 is in fact half of 1⁄250, and 1⁄1000 is in fact half of 1⁄500, so on and so forth.
So there appear to be two distinct sequences here.
One: 1⁄15, 1⁄30, 1⁄60
Two: 1⁄125, 1⁄250, 1⁄500, 1⁄1000, 1⁄2000, 1⁄4000
Is there a sane reason for this?
I know that people sometimes talk about half stops or even thirds of a full stop. But then what is 1⁄125 the half stop, or third stop of? If you increase 1⁄60 by a third you get 1⁄180. This setting does not exist in the standard sequence; the closest you will get is 1⁄160. If you increase 1⁄60 by a half, you get 1⁄120 and it doesn't exist either.
Is this all arbitrarily set by the camera manufacturers, or is there perhaps some reason and history behind this?

Assume $M$ is a $2n-$dimensional differentiable manifold. Let $(U_{i})$ be a open covering of $M$. With respect to this covering let $\rho_{i}$ be a partition of unity. Assume that on each $U_{i}$ we have a symplectic form $\omega_{i}$. Is then $\omega := \sum_{i} \rho_{i} \omega_{i}$ a symplectic form ? If, not what condition on the functions $\rho_{i}$ should be, so that $\omega$ is symplectic ?
Suppose you are in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, and endow it with a symplectic form $\omega$. Let $U_1 = \{x_1>-\varepsilon\}$ and $U_2=\{x_1<\varepsilon\}$, with two symplectic forms $\omega_1 = \omega|_{U_1}$, $\omega_2=-\omega|_{U_2}$. Notice that if $n$ is even, the $\omega_i$ induce the same orientation on the overlap of $U_1$ and $U_2$.
Now, by the intermediate value theorem, for any partition of unity $\{\rho_1, \rho_2\}$ subordinated to our cover, there's a point where the form $\rho_1\omega_1 + \rho_2\omega_2$ vanishes.
So, in general, you need to have some compatibility conditions for the $\omega_i$'s on the intersections of the $U_i$'s, otherwise there's no hope.
This was too long for a comment---A conceptual way to understand this is to say for a vector bundle defined using patching, the transition functions live in GL(n,R). GL(n,R) is homotopy equivalent to O(n) by Polar decomposition so one can always define a Riemmanian metric(From this point of you can imagine a vector bundle defined on $X\times I$ and deforming your transition functions by that homotopy equivalence above). The restriction to each end must be isomorphic by a well known theorem.
The symplectic group on the other hand is not homotopy equivalent to GL(n,R) and thus there are obstructions to giving your tangent bundle the structure of a symplectic vector bundle or equivalently giving your manifold a symplectic form. $S^4$ for example is not a symplectic manifold for a simple reason. If $\omega$ were your symplectic form it would necessarily be exact. But for any hypothetical symplectic form on $S^4$, $\omega\wedge\omega$ would be a volume form, so no dice.
I would develop a little the remark of Spiro Karigiannis on the topological obstruction for a manifold to have a symplectic structure.
Two first rough necessary conditions for the existence are: the manifold has to be even-dimensional and orientable.
Apart from this, we have also the cohomology ring condition:
Proof. It is sufficient to establish that, for any symplectic form $\omega$ on $M$, we have $[\omega]^n=[\omega^n]\neq 0$. Because of the nondegeneracy of $\omega$, we have that $\omega^n$ is a volume form, so its integral over $M$ is not zero and hence $[\omega^n]\neq 0$.
This condition and the computation $H_{dR}^{2}(S^{2n})=0$ for any $n>1$ imply the nonexistence of symplectic structures on $S^{2n}$ for all $n>1$.

Is there an explanation of whats going on from the software down to the hardware that explains tearing? One would think that the graphics card would just tell the LCD display to change whenever it wants to. Why do LCD displays have refresh rates at all?
Even if there's no electron beam, you're still sending the information to the monitor in the same order, over time. How often you send an entire screen's worth of information is, more or less, the refresh rate.
Consider that LCD pixels take time to change from one value to another. Even if your hardware used a lot of bandwidth to send a very high number of frames to the monitor each second, you'd still have to use pixels which could change fast enough to make that meaningful. So although there is no electron beam, there are practical limits to how fast an LCD can refresh.
And if you tell the video card to change what you're sending halfway through a frame, it will do so. Hence, tearing.
Sometimes your video card is faster at drawing than your monitor can possibly refresh, due to its hardware. It will have drawn out a full frame and then started work on the next frame (filling up the buffer with this new data) but it only gets 25% into it before the monitor comes along and grabs the buffer to draw the screen. The buffer it has grabbed is then a frame some fraction completed, but it renders anyway.
If you're moving really fast the difference between the two frames might be pretty dramatic, which looks like a 'tear'. If you're not whipping around it might not be noticeable at all. Vsync instructs the video card to only send up whole frames to the monitor accessible buffers, so the monitor is never in a position to grab a partially written to frame.
It does this by instructing the video card to only write one frame to the buffer and only to do so after the monitor has grabbed the previous frame. This effectively limits your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate.
On why monitors have refresh rates: It's the hardware involved. High end TVs have very high refresh rates (~500+) but you probably don't want to spend the money on a monitor when you're not even going to be able to tell.

CHAPMAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- The road to recovery has been a long one for a Chapman High School student diagnosed with cancer. His struggle to overcome the disease has inspired many and even caught the attention of the Make-A-Wish foundation.
During his sophomore year at Chapman High School, Volkman was diagnosed with osteosarcoma- a rare form of pediatric bone cancer in his leg.
"I was at track practice and I noticed that when I'd run sometimes, that my knee would start hurting or when I'd sit down in class, my knee would start to feel like it was throbbing. I thought maybe I pulled a muscle because I just started track. After a while, the pain started to go away and all of a sudden it came back and it just started hurting a lot more then it used to and I told my mom that I needed to go to the doctor...When you hear you have a tumor, you kind of fear the worst. Am I ok going to be ok? Is everything going to be ok? You don't want to think it but am I going to die? That's basically what I thought," Volkman told 13 News.
"It was very scary, especially when you have what you think is a healthy teenager and then the next thing you know, you have a cancer diagnosis," his mother, Robin, said. She says osteosarcoma only affects 450 children in the world each year.
As he underwent surgeries and chemotherapy treatments, his classmates and the town of Chapman rallied around him and even helped raise funds for his family.
"You have to be positive to make it through everything and that's what everybody- the school and the community- helped me do. They kept me positive," Volkman said.
When Volkman was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, he made a selfless move to completely redo the weight room at his school.
"I was thinking, I need to do something for them. They've done enough for me. I need to give back to the community and the school. My dad said one night, 'What about the weight room?' And I said, 'That's a great idea.' We had nice equipment but we could have nicer and we started looking at that and we got this good stuff. It's brand new stuff and it's beautiful. It's kind of cool because I helped make it happen and it's going to be here for a really long time, I hope. Hopefully, the kids take good care of it. This is a lot of equipment but I wish it could have been more because I feel like I haven't given them everything that they've given to me," Volkman said.
"The best part about it is, this will carry on for years, what he's done and many kids will reap the benefit of this equipment," his mother said.
On Friday, August 24, 2012, Chapman High School hosted "Justin Volkman Day" to honor him and recognize what he chose to do for the school in his darkest days instead of wishing for something for himself. The new weight room equipment was also unveiled.
Make-A-Wish helped supply the equipment purchase and is having an artist come and create a mural and share Justin's inspirations and
ideas on the walls of the weight room.
Lisa Capps, Director of Development for Make-A-Wish Kansas, said: "It's amazing that Justin wanted to give back to his community in the way that he did with the weight room so we feel blessed and honored to be a part of Justin's wish."
Volkman is now free of cancer and enjoying his senior year. His thoughtful wish will continue to inspire other students to be strong in the face of adversity.
His battle with cancer is shaping his plans for the future. He hopes to study biology at Kansas State University and go on to do cancer research.

I'd like to ask two questions relating to Shotwell if I may.
Firstly: How do I alter the meta-data of the pics imported to Shotwell? I have some showing up as having been taken in 2095 and so on.
Secondly, I'd like to upload my pictures to either Flickr / Picasa. Ideally I'd like to manage all the pics from Shotwell and just sync with the web service as pics are added, changed etc. Which, if either, service would let me do this?

Coping with Common Discomforts During Pregnancy
In This Article:
Stomach trouble, hemorroids, crampsHeartburn and Indigestion
The heart has nothing to do with this problem, which was named long before it was understood. Heartburn involves regurgitation of stomach acid back into the throat or esophagus. It's a mild form of indigestion that, once again, is caused by your hormonal changes. You may experience a burning sensation in your upper abdomen or lower chest, a bitter taste in your mouth, and belching. Here are ways to relieve this problem:
- Eliminate certain foodsStop drinking citrus fruit juices or beverages made from them. Eliminate rich, greasy, and spicy foods from your diet. Instead, take snacks to work, such as yogurt and honey, papaya, apples, or toast. Also stay away from caffeine-filled drinks.
- Eat small amounts regularly rather than a few big mealsAvoid eating too much, too quickly.
- Drink waterA glass of water will wash away the acid. Then drink a little milk, buttermilk, or cream to coat your stomach. Or try some peppermint tea.
- Chew gumChew a stick of gum after meals or sip a carbonated drink.
- Try a tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm milk.
- Use antacidsAsk your physician about using Maalox or Gelusil to relieve the discomfort. These are products you can keep in your desk drawer and use whenever necessary without disrupting your work. Liquid antacids are more effective than tablets.
- Change your positionTry sitting or standing. Avoid lying down; it may only worsen the condition. Sleep propped up with extra pillows an elevated head may help.
- Remain upright after eating.
- Try some herbal and homeopathic remedies.
Constipation and straining to move your bowels may cause hemorrhoids (varicose veins of the rectum caused by pressure). While hemorrhoids are common in pregnancy, they shrink right after delivery. If they cause you pain at work, try the following aids:
- If you sit for long hours, use a pillow or a rubber doughnut-shaped cushion to relieve the discomfort. Apply ice packs or pads soaked in witch hazel or Annusol. Drugstores sell Tucks, which work well too.
- If you stand for long hours at work, take sitting breaks whenever your supervisor gives you the okay.
Muscle cramps in the back, groin, and legs caused by slow blood circulation and pressure on certain nerves are common occurrences. If you cramp up at work, give these ideas a try:
- Change your position by sitting in another position for a few minutes.
- If you're standing when the cramp occurs, keep your weight evenly distributed and flex your knees. Avoid pointing your toes. Instead, bring your toes upward, pushing out with your heel.
- Place a hot-water bag or heating pad directly on the cramped muscle.
- Drink lots of fluids. Place two tablespoons of honey in a glass of warm water to help your muscles relax.
- Wear support hose to help relive leg cramps. A well-fitting maternity girdle and low-heeled shoes will relieve the strain on your muscles as well.
Many women suffer from occasional nausea because of the pressure on organs and the high levels of estrogen in the body, especially in early pregnancy. If you are prone to vomiting, keep towels, a trash can, and mouthwash or breath mints at your desk, and figure out the quickest way to the bathroom. If you are driving, have a big bottle of ice water handy and drive with the window down or with cool air on your face. Keep plastic grocery bags ready. There are steps you can take to fend off nausea, among them:
- Eat little but frequentlyGet plenty of protein. Keep high carb foods like dry crackers, pretzels, popcorn, and toast at your desk. Bananas are nutritious and kind to queasy stomachs.
- Stay away from coffee and spicy, sweet, or greasy foodsAdd a drop of peppermint oil directly on the tongue or mix with honey. Papaya enzyme and ginger capsules (found in health foods stores) are also helpful.
- Drink carefullyDrink fruit juices or carbonated drinks at the end of, rather than during, meals. Find out whether very hot or very cold drinks (like ice water) are best for you. Sip on some clove, Raspberry, or ginger tea.
- Try acupunctureWear an acupuncture bracelet found at most stores (e.g., Sea Bands) or apply pressure on your wrist yourself. Gently press on a spot at the center of the underside of your wrist, about three finger-widths below your balm.
- Use iceBring an ice pack to work. If nausea strikes, fill it with ice and hold it against your forehead or stomach. When an ice bag is not handy, use a cold, moist towel instead.
- Breathe deeply.
