Food Allergies and Intolerance
In This Article:
In newborns and older infants who are allergic to the protein in cow's-milk-based infant formulas, the signs of food allergy will include diarrhea, vomiting, and a failure to grow properly. Your child may also bleed from his intestinal tract and be colicky. Switching to soy formula doesn't always remedy the situation, since many babies who are sensitive to cow's milk protein are also allergic to the protein in soy-based formulas and other soy products. If your child exhibits any of the symptoms mentioned above in "Anatomy of an Allergy," talk with your pediatrician immediately about the best course of action. Your baby may need a hydrosolate formula such as Nutramigen, Pregestimil, or Alimentum, or an amino acid infant formula such as Neocate or Neocate One+ brand.
As your child matures and you begin offering solid foods between four and six months of age, you may suspect certain foods are troublesome for your child. To get to the bottom of food allergies, keep a detailed log of what and how much your child eats, document the symptoms produced by each food, and how long the symptoms take to develop. If your child is cared for by someone other than yourself, have her track all the same particulars, too. Include vitamin and mineral supplements your child takes on the list. Don't rely on your memory to record what your child consumes. Write it down as soon as he's finished eating or drinking. Save labels from processed foods since they could contain ingredients that trigger food allergy.
Keeping a food diary is a step in the right direction, but don't try to manage food allergies on your own. Food allergy diagnosis requires a detailed medical history; physical exam; elimination diets that include avoiding the suspected foods; and, possibly, tests to rule out other conditions. Bring your child and his food log to a doctor who has intensive training in allergy and immunology for a full evaluation. Board-certified physicians who are allergy experts are reliable health professionals.
Diagnosing Food Allergy
Don't be too quick to diagnose a food allergy in your child, and don't let others be, either. Make sure that your board-certified physician conducts more than one of the following tests before confirming food allergy.
- Medical history
- Skin prick test
- Blood test
- Elimination diet
- Food challenge
- Cytoxic blood test
- Sublingual provocation
- Intradermal provocation
- Food immune complex assay
There's only one way to manage food allergy and that's avoidance. Once you know which food triggers an immune response in you or your child, steer clear of it. Some children are so sensitive to allergens that getting a whiff of an offending food, or kissing someone eating a food with the offending allergen, can be potentially fatal. For instance, something as simple as sniffing the steam created by cooking fish can cause a reaction in fish-allergic people. That's why it's a good idea to avoid keeping foods that trigger allergy in the house, even if you have other children who can eat these products without consequence.
Keep It Healthy
There's a problem with avoiding foods with known allergens, however. In eliminating foods, you must amend your child's diet to make it adequate to fuel his rapid growth. Getting rid of milk because of an allergy means your child's calcium and vitamin D consumption will drop off to the point of jeopardizing bone development.
It becomes particularly difficult to manage your child's diet when she is allergic to more than one thing. Working with a registered dietitian (R.D.) can help, especially when your doctor recommends elimination diets and food challenges. An R.D. helps you to carry out the food restrictions your child must follow, while developing an eating plan that is tailored to your child's dietary needs. Find a registered dietitian in your area by contacting the American Dietetic Association. The organization offers a free, nationwide referral service.
Read Labels
Carefully reading food labels is critical for avoiding allergens. Depending on your child's allergy or allergies, there are dozens of offending ingredients you must avoid. The Food Allergy Network provides excellent label-reading resources. Still, food labels may sport unfamiliar ingredients; may not fully explain all ingredients; and manufacturers may change ingredients without warning, so don't take food labels for granted. One troubling labeling loophole: Manufacturers may list natural flavorings as an ingredient without spelling out their specific ingredients. Genetically modified foods pose a slight risk to highly allergenic individuals since the FDA doesn't require labels to state that foods include genetically modified ingredients. Some genetically modified foods may contain allergenic proteins from other foods that are not among the major allergens.
Before feeding processed foods with questionable ingredients to your child, call the company to clarify exactly what the product contains. When there is any doubt that a food is unsafe for any reason, don't buy it.

Their numbers are declining because they are hunted for their meat and for the magnificent horns on males, and because they must struggle over food with livestock. Like the mountain sheep, this intimidating creature sports huge majestic horns.

I'm trying to determine if it's better to purchase a Mac from an Apple Store or from a separate retailer. Beyond the hands on and focused purchase experience are there long term advantages derived from an Apple store purchase (ongoing support etc.) as opposed to purchasing from an independent retailer?
Aside from the service and other qualitative aspects of dealing directly with Apple, the only "advantage" of purchasing direct from the company is the up to date warranty registration. If you purchase your Apple product through a 3rd party, Apple will have on file an "estimated" purchase date based on the model's manufacturing date.
If you want to claim all of the 365 days on your warranty, you will have to send them the receipt (a scan or picture suffices) in addition to other purchase information so they can update their database to reflect the exact date of purchase.
Other than that, it makes little difference at the end of the day.
There isn't a meaningful difference between buying at an Apple Store or another retailer beyond your experience in-store. Personally, I prefer Apple stores to most of the other computer retailers just in terms of shopping experience, but a new Mac is a new Mac.
You get a lovely drawstring handled bag with the Apple logo for one.
Also, if you have an Apple ID they will email a copy of your receipt to the associated email address.
If you buy something from the Apple Store, for example a Macbook, and a newer model comes out within two weeks, they will swap it no questions asked for a new one. You have to have all original packaging. Also, I tried to do this after throwing away the packaging, and they couldn't swap the computer, but gave me back around $200 to compensate (after some of cajoling).
I had other experiences. In my AppleStore in Zurich the "purchase adviser" would not know the difference between a i5 and i7 processor. Well, he didn't even know that these processors exist. I strongly doubt that people in the AppleStore have any clue what they are selling. That's my reason to go 3rd party.
You cannot take the year of Apple classes for $99 if you don't purchase there. I called because I wanted them to price match a deal from Best Buy for MacBook Air . They discounted but would not match( almost $80 difference).I asked about the classes and they said you can only buy them if you get it at their store. So I would be paying $80 more and tax on that, plus the $99 for classes. Sad because I was really looking forward to them.

(Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)The stakes are elevated in Week 16 as the playoff race moves closer to a conclusion, so the impact of injuries will be felt even more by those teams still in contention.Robert Griffin III's return is the biggest piece of news from Sunday's early games, but it's not the only roster news we are keeping our eyes on. Here are some of the key Week 16 actives/inactives.Active• Morris Claiborne, CB, Cowboys (head): Claiborne said as early as Monday that he expected to play this week, after missing Week 15 with a concussion. The Cowboys will happily welcome him back to help deal with New Orleans' loaded passing game.• Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins (knee): Griffin will wear a knee brace on his right knee, which could limit his mobility a bit, but he's in the lineup nonetheless. Kirk Cousins will resume his backup duties.• Brian Hartline, WR, Dolphins (back): Believe it or not, Miami remains alive in the playoff race. The Dolphins will have to find a way to win Sunday without Hartline.• Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants (knee): The Giants will have both Nicks and RB Ahmad Bradshaw at their disposal on Sunday for a huge game against the Giants. • Mark Sanchez/Tim Tebow, QBs, Jets: New York's mess at QB continues -- Greg McElroy will start against San Diego, but all three Jets quarterbacks will be active.• Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens (head): Smith has been cleared to play, one week after suffering a concussion when he slammed his head to the turf while trying to make a catch. • Wes Welker, WR, Patriots (questionable): The Patriots more or less list their entire roster as questionable, so it's not a huge issue normally. Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez all will suit up after being deemed questionable.Inactive• Alex Green, RB, Packers (head): Green played last Sunday against Chicago but sat out practice for most of this week. He was listed as questionable on the Packers' injury report, and there was some hope that he would be cleared before game time. Instead, Ryan Grant is expected to start.• Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots (elbow): Gronkowski has begun practicing again. The Patriots will not use him, though, until at least Week 17.• Jonathan Stewart, RB, Panthers (ankle): Despite his "questionable" designation, Stewart was expected to play headed into Sunday. Instead, DeAngelo Williams ought to see plenty of work.• Michael Vick, QB, Eagles (head): Vick is a healthy scratch Sunday, despite rejoining practice for the Eagles recently. The Eagles will stick with Nick Foles at QB for the final two games. • Kendall Wright, WR, Titans (ribs): Wright did not practice week, so he would have been an unexpected "active" against Green Bay.

NVL vs. SWC challenge has arrived
When the Naugatuck Valley League and the South-West Conference get together this week for their crossover football schedule — we call it the NVL-SWC Challenge — we'll get to know what Kate Middleton felt like at her baby shower this summer.
Instead of the frills for the new Prince George, though, we get a 14-game slate of football with royally delightful matchups and storylines.
The crown jewel, of course, is tonight's showdown at Jarvis Stadium between No. 1-ranked Ansonia (5-0) and Masuk.
The Chargers ride a state-best 33-game winning streak into the game, which is their first regular-season nonconference matchup since they played Hillhouse in 2009 (a 41-12 Ansonia win).
"We've come close a couple of times trying to schedule an out-of-conference game against a top program, and it's fallen through," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "This year we're finally able to do it, so we're excited about that."
Ansonia enters tonight off a 62-28 win over previously unbeaten Derby. Masuk, on the other hand, dropped out of the top 10 after its upset loss to Pomperaug, which beat Masuk 35-32 in the last minute of the game.
Still, Brockett said the game has a postseason aura.
Masuk boasts a strong run defense, which is handy when playing Ansonia. Chargers senior running back Arkeel Newsome is 290 yards away from breaking Alex Thomas' state rushing record.
On the other side of the ball, the Panthers have three athletes capable of scoring in bunches.
Quarterback Malik Cummings is a dual threat (1,081 total yards), running back Joe DaMota is the leading rusher (397 yards, four touchdowns) and wide receiver PJ Kokkoros is dangerous as a utility player (864 combined yards, seven touchdowns).
Though the Ansonia-Masuk game is the headliner, the intriguing matchups don't stop there. Friday night's slate is as good as any in recent memory, starting with the Bruno Bowl, which pits host Naugatuck (4-1) against Bunnell (2-3). It's a reunion of Greyhounds coach Craig Bruno with his former team.
"I would say that this is just another game, but I know that's not true," said Bruno, who left the Bulldogs after 12 years to become Naugatuck's head coach in January. "We had a long talk with the team to tell them that the game is not about me. I'm very happy and comfortable with the choice I made, and I wanted them to know it."
In Southbury, Woodland (5-0) takes on Pomperaug (2-3), which is all of a sudden a more pass-happy team than the record-setting Hawks. Tanner Kingsley and Wade Prajer have combined for 1,355 passing yards and 14 touchdowns the last two weeks.
Seymour (3-2) and Oxford (3-2) will meet at Wolverine Field in a game that would have been an intrasquad scrimmage at DeBarber Field less than a decade ago. Oxford head coach Joe Stochmal was a standout quarterback for the Wildcats and offensive coordinator Bob Kelo was a longtime assistant to Seymour's Paul Sponheimer.
The other ranked team involved in the series is No. 6 Newtown (5-0), which visits Wolcott (4-1) on Friday. The Nighthawks have a Division I prospect in junior wide receiver Julian Dunn (23 catches, 583 yards, 11 touchdowns).
Tonight, Brookfield meets Wilby at Municipal Stadium. Friday's other matchups include Derby at Bethel, Joel Barlow at Torrington, Watertown at New Milford, Immaculate at Crosby, Kennedy at Stratford and New Fairfield at Sacred Heart. On Saturday, Holy Cross visits Weston and St. Paul hosts Notre Dame-Fairfield.

I don't have a smartphone (I have a symbian with access to the Internet), or iPod/iPad. Are there any other ways for me to get an authenticator from Blizzard without paying $6 for the physical authenticator?
Blizzard used to offer a J2ME-based authenticator for older phones, but they have since discontinued it. They now offer authenticators for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7.
Other than a phone, your options would therefore be a tablet, iPod (touch), or the physical authenticator.
For those without such a device, the other answers propose alternative means. Android emulation may be a good way to go, seeing as you would still be using the official authenticator.
You can use WinAuth, which is a popular third party authenticator for Blizzard games. It's not quite as secure as the official means since if someone gains access to your computer they can use the authenticator, but it's far better than nothing(you could probably put it on a flash drive so it isn't always on your computer).
You can also use Googles development tools to emulate an Android phone on your desktop and then run Blizzards authenticator app.
An excellent write up of the process with links to the various needed downloads can be found in this blog post at Elitist Jerks

Are applications of group theory known to exist in numerical analysis? One particular aspect I am curious about is whether matrix groups have been successfully used to derive algorithms. Also, are there aspects of numerical analysis that would have been difficult to conceive or derive WITHOUT the help of group theory?
Alain Connes& K mentions some "Butcher group" ( http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9904044 ):
See also:
On the Hopf Algebraic Structure of Lie Group Integrators H. Z. Munthe-Kaas, W. M. Wright
Hopf algebras of formal diffeomorphisms and numerical integration on manifolds Alexander Lundervold, Hans Munthe-Kaas
Hopf algebras are in some sense "almost groups":) so hopefully this should qualify.
In general it seems to me that these series of works by Connes, Kreimer, Broadhurst, Moscovich & K on the Hopf algebras in various fields of math is quite fascinating...
As far as DFT and FFT is considered as a part of Numerical Analysis, finite abelian groups apply, especially ${\mathbb Z}/2^n{\mathbb Z}$.
There is a (recent) approach to the problem of fast matrix multiplication that involves representation theory of finite (nonabelian) groups. (Roughly, it reduces/transfers the problem of the existence of fast algorithms to certain question on representations of finite groups.) This was pioneered by Cohn and Umans, see for example Group theoretic algorithms for matrix multiplication by Cohn, Kleinberg, Szegedy, Umans for more details.
However, as incidentally recently mentioned on MO by one of the authors these algorithms are not / cannot (yet) be used in practise.
I recommend P. Winternitz, Group Theory and Numerical Analysis, AMS, 2005.
From Google Books:
Also, P.J. Oliver, Applications of Lie Groups to Differential Equations, Springer, 2000.
To solve PDE exactly, you can use the "differential Galois theory" which first was studied by Sofus Lie and more recently by Ovsiannikov and his followers. See, for example Ovsyannikov, L. V. The group analysis purposes. Modern group analysis, V (Johannesburg, 1994). Lie Groups Appl. 1 (1994), no. 1, 193–202. I am sure that similar ideas can work in numerical analysis.
An example of ideas from Lie groups being used for the analysis of ODE integrators can be found in Reich, S. (1999). Backward error analysis for numerical integrators. SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 36(5), 1549–1570..

I recently came across a couple of really useful sites for downloading vector latlong boundary data for free
converts entered address into lat/long coordinates (has a batch mode): http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlonbatch.html?direction=forward
Tool that lets you enter a lat/long coordinate, and then get vector data for the administrative regions that point is in....has an API http://global.mapit.mysociety.org/
The source of the data in the last link is Open Street Map, and these tools together have been great for getting lat/long boundary data of the districts within India's states. However, I'm wondering if the same boundary data exists for India's telecom circles, similar to a map of US area codes.
any help would be much appreciated!

The Copenhagen interpretation by Niels Bohr insists that quantum systems do not exist independently of the measuring apparatus but only comes into being by the process of measurement itself. It is only through the apparatus that anything can be said about the system. By necessity, the apparatus has to be outside the system. An open quantum system. Can quantum mechanics be applied to closed systems where the measuring apparatus is itself part of the system? Can a measuring apparatus measure itself and bring itself into existence?
Q: Can quantum mechanics be applied to closed systems where the measuring apparatus is itself part of the system?
A: Definitely, yes. Sometimes it is even necessary, such as in the case when you place an atom ("system") in between two mirrors ("apparatus"). The resulting quantum mechanical model is that of cavity quantum electrodynamics. Now if you want to know what's going on there, you have to bring in a second measuring apparatus (a photon detector, say).
Q: Can a measuring apparatus measure itself and bring itself into existence?
By definition, the "apparatus" is the thing doing the measuring. The "system" is the phenomena under investigation. If you choose make the object of interest system+apparatus then you've just redefined what the "system" is and you are going to need a new apparatus to do the "measuring". So, if you believe the sentence "It is only through the apparatus that anything can be said about the system", then the answer is no.
''that quantum systems do not exist independently of the measuring apparatus but only comes into being by the process of measurement itself'' is a gross distortion of the Copenhagen interpretation. The latter only asserts that the particular value of measuring quantum variables of a system that exists objectively (otherwise how could it be measured) is predictable only within its intrinsic uncertainty.
The solar system is a quantum system whose state we know reasonably well in a coarse approximation appropriate to such big systems, as we know its thermal properties and quantum gravity effects play no role. All our experiments so far have been performed within this quantum system, and all our measuring instruments are part of it.
Every individual measurement we do is in fact a measurement of the state of a tiny subsystem, sometimes (spin or polarization measurement) of only a single quantum degree of freedom, and thus reveals a tiny little bit more about the state of the solar system, namely about the substate obtained by tracing out all other degrees of freedom. This tracing out is the source of decoherence, which is frequently well approximated by the Copenhagen collapse postulate.
Thus there is not the slightest trace of the mystery the OP seems to suggest.
This is the basis for the Many-Worlds interpretation, and many-minds/decoherence/consistent-histories variations. The basic point is that you can consider quantum mechanics as a complete description of nature, but only at the cost of a nontrivial indentifications of states of memory of an observer with the system. This is discussed well in many places, originally, "The Many-Worlds Interpretation" from 1972(?), edited by DeWitt, reprints Everett's original thesis, which has many interesting results.
I have heard it said that the Copenhagen interpretation has been by and large abandoned by 'real' physicists...maybe it was Weinberg who said that in print, and maybe it was in his generally excellent book, Towards a Final Theory. Hannabuss told me, fifteen years ago, that the time is long past for axiomatic gassing and philosophising about measurement, it is now time to analyse it as a concrete physical process with a Hamiltonian and everything (of course, using whatever approximations are needed to get some sort of answer, he himself has an analysis of the famous Dirac polariser argument but with a semi-classical approximation for part of it, so this is all still work in progress). And many other excellent physicists have done this, or at least started it, as well. See the references to Collet, Millburn, Walls, and also Gardiner and Zoller, and Allahverdyan, Balian (long-time head of one of the theory divisions at Saclay and called by Streater one of the most interesting theoreticians alive, see
pointing the way to the future of Physics, which BTW is Statistical Mechanics) and others in my own Thermodynamic Limits, Non-Commutative Probability, and Quantum Entanglement
and Hilbert's Sixth Problem, the Axiomatization of Physics
That is to say, such physicists are indeed analysing the combination of microscopic system being measured with the macroscopic measurement apparatus as a closed system obeying a joint Hamiltonian made up out of the individual Hamiltonians and an interaction term and obeying the laws of the unitary evolution of linear Quantum Mechanics. Perhaps not many would agree that they have 'solved' the Quantum Measurement Problem, but some of them think so, and it has to be admitted that there are sufficiently many degrees of freedom inside the measurement apparatus that one could imagine decoherence going on in this closed system, so it is consistent with the rather different decoherence crowd, but much more physically based.
I do think they are on the right track, I hope you will try to look at their stuff, but some of it predates the Los Alamos free archive, still the Balian stuff is very recent Armen E. Allahverdyan, Roger Balian and Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen at arXiv:1003.0453
I myself feel that although their physics is more or less correct, they are logically circular and axiomatically sloppy. Also, their model although more realistic is not different in principle from the much quoted early work of H.S. Green.
No, it cannot. The observer cannot determine his own quantum state and as such he does not obey the usual laws of quantum mechanics.
In this sense quantum mechanics is not an universally valid theory.
See this paper for a proof

Scott City made the big plays when it mattered most, and Conway Springs was not able to take advantage of its opportunities in the quarterfinals of the Class 3A football playoffs Saturday. Scott City emerged with a 20-7 win over Conway Springs, ending the Cardinals' season at 11-1. Scott City now moves on to the semifinals and will play Belloit.
"It was a defensive battle and they just made some big plays," Conway Springs coach Matt Biehler said.
One of the biggest plays of the game came late in the first half. The Cardinals drove for a touchdown, a one-yard run on fourth down by Luke Fisher – to tie the game at 7 with 1:16 left in the half.
Scott City quarterback Trey O'Neil connected with Warren Kropp for a 55-yard gain on the team's next play from scrimmage, and that led to a 13-yard scoring strike to Sloan Baker with 31 seconds left. As a result, Conway Springs went into the locker room down seven instead of tied
Biehler said that turned out to be a very big play in the game, and was due to a blown assignment.
"But they are a balanced team," he said of Scott City.
Conway Springs hung tough though and got into the fourth quarter still down by just seven. The Cardinals had two opportunities but could not capitalize. Early in the fourth Conway Springs gave up the ball on downs deep in Scott City territory.
Later in the quarter Scott City fumbled and Conway Springs recovered at the 31. Four passes fell incomplete and the Cardinals were not able to score.
Scott City got an interception later in the quarter, and that set up a 21-yard touchdown pass ffrom O'Neil to Brayden Strine to put the score at 20-7 with five minutes left.
Conway Sprigns was never able to get its single-wing running game going. It had its moments and ahd some short drives, but could never get a long sustained drive going.
Conway Springs had 196 yards rushing. Fisher had 72 yards on 15 carries and Travis Woods had 82 yards on 24 carries.
Biehler said he was proud of his team and the way they kept fighting.
"It is hard for them to see what they accomplished this year, right now. But in high school football, only one team ends the way they want it to," he said.

Changing the World
I'm sorry if this may seem a little out of place to any of you, but I've noticed that a lot of game designers (or aspiring) dream of a better world.
I don't know if any of you have heard of the Zeitgeist Movies? Well, they are not only movies; they are documentaries that reflect the views of an organisation that wishes to make the world a better place: The Zeitgeist Movement.
The main objective of the movement is to eliminate the monetary system. I know, this may sound extreme, but if you think about it, you'll realize that the monetary system is deeply flawed. I know you may not like the idea at first, but I hope I made you curious enough to at least watch the movies. There is also a very interesting orientation video that you can watch here.
P.S. You might want to be careful if you live in the US; I heard you can get arrested under the patriot act for watching these movies. Which is utterly despicable if you ask me.
I'll understand if a moderator feels the need to remove this post.

Woah, you can get arrested for watching this in the US? That is despicable indeed. This "movement" is indeed flawed because one organization's perspective of a "better world" may seem completely preposterous to another. And also the fact that not everyone within the one organization thinks the same may be problematic.
[CENTER]"Be aware of wonder"
So, what's the discussion? It's like the first post got halfway through the point and then didn't summarise, but whatever:
Firstly: haha America.
Secondly: As a Game Designer (wannabe), I don't really "aspire to change the world". Honestly speaking, I enjoy things as they are. Sure we have problems, but a perfect utopia is full of flaws. When I create, I honestly create things that are removed from ours, but tie in with some parallels, else how can a person feel in-touch with a game?
I don't have a dream of a utopia, and I can hope some people grow up in this world, but without dark there is no light (and whatever other proverbs you have about that), because if everyone is light, then we begin comparing levels of brightness and some are seen as dark. So in summary, what we have now is all I could really ask for.
I'd like to say something like, "It seems utopia seems to have become a more talked about topic lately" with some recent media touching on the idea of a utopia and how to best achieve it, however the idea of changing the world has been around for ages.
If you're interested in all this, "Nineteen Eighty Four" and "Brave New World" are two very unique novels worth a read.
Finally: Is the monetary system flawed? Yes, but no. Will it change, no. Changing the game mechanics of the game of life is quite hard to do now that we have 7 billion users worldwide.

I'm sorry tokoya, I meant the monetary system is flawed. I edited my post and clarified it.
You can get arrested in the US because they consider watching the movies an act of terrorism. Basically anything that goes against their fascist profit system is terrorism.
I think every organisation is deemed to seem preposterous in another's perspective. For example, I guess afghan men think their society is better now that they can rape their wife legally. Of course, this would seem preposterous in our culture. In the same way, I guess they think our culture is preposterous too; or at least that's what the Medias want us to believe.
I believe pretty much everyone in the organisation thinks the same way, with some slight variations, of course. For example, some are vegetarians and consider it horrible to eat meat - they don't like the idea of killing animals; however, if you think about it, we kill plants too. A study even showed that plants feel more pain when harmed than animals do.

i was talking about the whole real structure of the world with someone once and we just found everything funny and scary at the same time.

bittman, first of all, I'd like to say that Utopia does not exist. The concept in itself is contradictory, because you can always make something better. Therefore, you can always try to reach Utopia, but it'll always slip out of your hands.
I'm sad that you feel the world is okay right now, when 1% of the population drive around in their luxury cars, while hundreds of millions are starving. I understand though, I guess you just haven't given it much thought.
I've read both these novels, but I don't really see how they apply here. They're more about conspiracy theories than anything else.
I sincerely hope the monetary system will fall, and when is does, our descendants will consider our current society incredibly primitive. If you think about it, you'll realise that more than half of society's problems come from the monetary system.
Borisk, I agree that a lot of things are scary right now. And I guess a few things can be considered funny, depending on where you live.

Marco; have you ever heard of Chaos Theory?
The idea is that, due to changes in the variables of a complex system (even very small ones), the outcome of the system becomes radically different. Even if it's just one variable among thousands.
Simply put, predicting these systems (such as the weather) is nearly impossible because of the amount of variables that can affect it. The further ahead you try to predict, the more unknown variables there are, and the less likely the prediction will be accurate.
Now consider how many variables would be involved in predicting the outcome if the world decided to stop using the monetary system. Millions? Billions? Trillions? Much more.
You must understand this to see how ludicrous your claim is. You want to affect an incomprehensible amount of variables and claim to know the outcome will be "good." You have good intentions, but do not become so tainted by an idealogy you lose sight of reality.
Now, as far as Game Designers and changing the world...I say that my goals are expository in nature more than anything else. I fit into your "Aspiring Game Designer" demographic, though, so let's get some senior designers to address your topic.

I understand your concern Ezion; of course we cannot stop using the monetary system in one day. There has to be a transition period of many years to do so, but we can start now.
The first place I would start, personally, is education - everyone should be able to get one. That is a questionable choice, however, as it is more important to guarantee basic needs (food, water and shelter), but I feel that with a more educated population, these changes would be easier to make.
I cannot predict the outcome of removing the monetary system, but when I think of it, I don't see why there would be any:
- Theft, in a world where everyone has access to the same things.
- Drugs & Prostitution, if there is no money to make from selling them.
- Wars, if there is no one to make a profit from them.
- Hunger, in a world were scientific efforts are turned towards abundance rather than war.
- Lack of space, if you remove most of the buildings that produce the same damn things as other (So-called competition).
- Pollution, in a world driven by technology rather than profit.
- Diseases, in a world where the pharmaceutical and medical system actually cures you rather than making sure you stay sick.
- And more...
Okay, some problems might come up, but none can be as big as all of these together. I know this can seem impractical, but I believe a solution can be found to any problem, and I don't see why we couldn't find a solution for these ones, and any other than comes up along the way.

If you go back as far as evolution, you'll see there is always a monkey better off than another. If you go down a religious route, there have always been people of higher power. Either way, it's the social hierachy, and it is defined by poverty and wealth, though wealth nowdays is measured in luxuries rather than land or followers.
So, on your "I haven't given it much thought" and "obviously this is just another democratic pig" or something Marxist which will make me laugh: Marxism is a failed experiment. The notion would work if it was tested on robots, but it was designed for humans with human nature. Human nature may be partially greedy and ignorant, but it also desires to be justly rewarded for work and further improve upon what they have.
And if you are here to see the monetary system fall, it's because you like the idea of anarchy and war in our lifetime. Because if it fell, it would fall harder than Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Finally: I'm enjoying this debate/topic.
EDIT: Your recent post is pretty fanciful and conspiratorial. Apparently drug companies like making us sick because it keeps them in a job? And there is always something to profit and lose by going to war.
And you don't like competition, yet you want to be a game designer? Come again?

and we don't have a lack of space. if you take the three largest counties of oregon in the U.S. and build a city with a density similar to new york city than you can fit the world's entire population. lack of space... no... lack of resources on the other hand is a yes.

WASHINGTON, Pa. - As a player for the Washington Wild Things, Jim Vahalik lives with a host family during the 90-game season in the summer.
Just 30 miles away, though, Vahalik has blood relatives cheering him on in Jefferson County.
"My mom grew up in Steubenville," Vahalik said. "My grandparents live in Wintersville, along with aunts, uncles and some other extended family members."

Jim Vahalik
Vahalik, a Westerville, OH native, attended high school at Columbus DeSales, playing baseball and football before graduating in 2007. In 2005, he faced off against Big Red in the Division III state championship football game - a 28-7 Steubenville victory.
"It was 0-0 at halftime," Vahalik said. "Then Zach Collaros took over. We couldn't contain his throwing arm in the second half."
Despite that, he holds no ill will to the city or school.
"I really like the city of Steubenville," Vahalik said. "I like going back there. Being from Columbus, everything is flat, then in Steubenville there's some hills you have to drive through. It's a great small town."
His family makes the short trip to CONSOL Energy Park in Washington every so often to see him play. Vahalik encourages more people to see his team, too. The Wild Things are having one of the best seasons in franchise history.
Washington is 34-19 and sits atop the Frontier League Eastern Division standings. It holds a two-game lead over the Evansville Otters.
"The reason why were winning is because we have great veteran leaders and great rookies," Vahalik said. "When you have that combination the game kind of takes care of itself."
Vahalik, a three-time Frontier League All-Star, is currently batting .260 with three home runs and 12 RBIs. He signed with the London Rippers in 2011 after graduating from the University of Toledo. Vahalik was traded to the Wild Things in July of 2012 and has been the team's starting catcher ever since.
"The last couple of years I took on more of a leadership role behind the plate," he said. "Setting up the defenses, trying to dictate where the play is going to go, positioning guys, helping manage the pitching staff and making sure everybody is on the same page before putting everything to work."
Prior to the 2013 season, Vahalik was signed by the Baltimore Orioles. He played in most spring training games and had a solid shot to latch on somewhere in the organization.
"They wanted me to play first base," he said. "My heart will always be behind the plate and that's why I came back to Washington."
Like any ballplayer, Vahalik has major league aspirations, but his focus is on where he's at right now.
"My No. 1 goal is to win a championship for the Wild Things," he said.
The organization has been located in Washington since 2002 and has won five division championships. The franchise was founded as the Canton Crocodiles in 1997 and won a Frontier League title that season.
The Wild Things haven't made the playoffs since 2007 but are primed to earn a postseason berth this year.
"We've always had our mindset on winning here," said relief pitcher Pat Butler. "This season, we are just more talented. And we're focused each game. We really go out there expecting to win each night."
Washington is in the middle of a three game series with the River City Rascals, who are currently in second place in the West Division with a 32-19 record.
"These next few games against them is really going to set the tone for the rest of the season," Vahalik said.
The Wild Things has six representatives at the Frontier League All-Star Game, which was held on July 16 in Sauget, Illinois. Recent Arizona Diamondbacks-signee Stewart Ijames, CJ Beatty, Daniel Poma, Carter Bell, Shawn Blackwell and Jonathan Kountis all made an appearance in the game.

- This is very late, but i've been very busy here on the East Coast. I would like to commend your service dept for excellent repairs and service i received on my 2010 electraglide last fall. My wife and i were able to make a trip from Portland to Jacksonville,Fl leaving Portland 1 oct., our trip took us down the Oregon coast and the redwood national forest in Calli, tour of San Fran, Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and even Tombstone. The bike ran like a swiss clock. Lost a heel shifter in West Texas, but that ain't bad for 3600 miles. Thanks again, they were able to pinpoint a failing drive bearing in my tranny and fix like new. It was my bucket list trip, but just made me want to go again. Gary L.
- The Service Dept. at Columbia H-D is top notch! Always willing to help and answer my questions. Most recently with troubleshooting my stereo system blown speakers. Stu & Lenny checked out my bike, gave me options that are available in a very short time. Also BEAT labor cost of the install of speakers by a local stereo shop. Thanks for everything. You guys are the best…. Terry C.
- Jason, I'd like to extend my many thanks to your dealership on a pleasant buying experience on the recent purchase of my 2014 FLHR. Dan Pech was a great guy to deal with, finding me exactly what I wanted, color and options and getting the bike fast. I'll be recommending your dealership to any of my friends that my be looking for a new bike. Again thanks and hats off to Columbia HD.

Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal's address to the UN Security Council on Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, New York, January 6, 2009
Your Excellencies:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We meet today as the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are under continued Israeli bombardment. This fierce aggression has killed hundreds and injured thousands and spread destruction and devastation and instilled fear in children, women and the elderly.
The current Israeli escalation by launching massive air, ground and sea offensives is increasing the human tragedy and prolonging the killing and destruction. The Israeli Operation Cast Lead, which uses the latest human destructive weaponry, on helpless people under siege, continues to expand the tragedy. It appears that the killing and destruction caused by the air attack over the past days has not satisfied the Israelis or even convinced your esteemed Council to move urgently and immediately to prevent more killings, as it is expected from your Council in this dangerous situation.
The call for this meeting comes within the framework of the anticipated role of the Security Council at this critical moment and in accordance with the United Nations Charter, and I quote "preserving international peace and security" end quote.
The duty of the Security Council, when a conflict leads to fighting, is to halt it at the earliest possible time. The Israeli aggression on Gaza already is entering its eleventh day of mayhem, yet the Council has not taken any action to carry out its responsibilities and stop this aggression. That certainly raises serious questions about the credibility of the Security Council and the whole system of international peace and security.
It is astonishing and surprising to notice the international community's complete silence regarding the massive Israeli assault on Gaza. Some even went as far as describing the assault on Gaza as an Israeli self-defense action. This is in stark contrast to the situation in Georgia, where the international community reacted to the crisis promptly and decisively to contain the situation, end the fighting and bring about the withdrawal of foreign troops.
Arab Palestinians blood is still being shed and no one knows where this will lead. What is certain is that it cannot be justified in any way.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
War no longer evokes glory and pride. It only evokes rage and condemnation by the international community. What is happening now in Gaza can only be described as a horrendous human crime, which will produce only more violence and extremism and a departure from the objective of peace and security, which Israel uses as a justification for its aggressive acts.
The security of Israel can only be achieved by the creation of a just peace that responds to the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Those rights have been recognized and acknowledged by international legitimacy, including resolutions issued by the Security Council; affirmed by the Geneva Conventions; and contained in all the agreements and initiatives presented to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, including the Arab Peace Initiative.
The fierce siege of the Palestinian people, and the closure of the passages is the full responsibility of Israel.
Israel violated the truce the two parties agreed to in June 2008 that called for a ceasefire in exchange for opening the passages and lifting the siege. The Palestinian side fulfilled its obligations under the agreement, whereas Israel continued its stranglehold on a million and half Palestinians in Gaza, in an immoral action and without response from the international community to this human tragedy.
As we refer to this painful reality, our objective is not to trigger unproductive arguments, but to describe the situation as it is, and work seriously towards a ceasefire that puts an end to the armed conflict which is causing death and destruction in Gaza as we speak. There is no way out of this crisis except through a clear and explicit resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and lifting of the siege.
Mr. Chairman,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, we, in the Arab League, present to the Security Council the resolution of the extraordinary meeting of the Council of the Arab League Foreign Ministers which was held in Cairo on December 31, 2008. This resolution presents a vision to resolve the crisis, based on an immediate halt of all military actions in Gaza; lifting the siege; opening the passages, and the termination of the policy of collective punishment imposed on the Palestinians, which led to this serious deterioration. This Arab proposal does not only aim at stopping the military operation, but also to deal with the causes that have led to it. The lifting of the siege, calming the situation, and the establishment of the necessary monitoring process will guarantee the permanence of the solution. All of that will meet Israeli security concerns and pave the way to resume the peace process and revive the negotiations in order to end the occupation and establish an independent and viable Palestinian state. Only this will guarantee the security of Israel, Palestine, and the security and stability of the region.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Arab countries are committed to international law, the principle of international legitimacy, and the resolutions of the Security Council. Unfortunately, we are confronted with delays and procrastinations, and attempts to undermine the Arab countries peaceful efforts. Either the Security Council deals with our legitimate issues with seriousness and responsibility based on these principles, or we will be forced to turn our backs and consider what options present themselves.
At this moment, people are dying. Children are orphaned; parents are losing their loved ones for no reason except that they are there. Are you going to allow this to continue even for another hour?

Shimano Ultegra FC-6700 CranksetWith the same engineered technology as the Shimano Dura-Ace crank, the Shimano Ultegra FC-6700 road crankset uses a hollow outer chainring to save weight and boost rigidity for optimal power transfer and positive shifting under load.
- Hollowtech II design uses a wider bearing placement to maximize stiffness while keeping weight to a minimum - what you get is a dramatically stronger pedaling force with better power transfer, acceleration and speed
- HollowGlide hollow outer chainring reduces weight, increases strength and enhances stiffness of the entire crankset by 20% for even more shifting power
- Wider gear range accommodates most cycling situations and offers less chain touch in the small/small combination
- Individually machined chainring teeth improve chain contact for greater shifting performance
- Improved bottom bracket seals reduce contamination and friction
- Bottom bracket not included
- Shimano Ultegra FC-6700 Crankset is designed to work in conjunction with the Shimano Dura-Ace CN-7900 10-speed Chain or the Shimano Ultegra CN-6700 10-speed Chain

I often hear Ashkenazim pronouncing (or at least trying) Hebrew words in Tefila/Keriat HaTorah like Sephardim. It probably isn't only Religious Zionists but it seems to be only them. Where did the this minhag come from? I heard live from either Rav Schechter or Rav Gedalya Shwartz that even the Rav (Solevecik) and Rav Kook would pronounce the Ashkenazi style. Maybe this came from Rav Nosson Adler (the Rav of the Chasam Sofer) who used to pronounce in the Sefardisha style? This is quite interesting also for some more info. http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1778&txtSearch=pronunciation

From personal experience:
My father pronounced Hebrew like a European, and my mother's father like his Gerer roots. But then we were sent to local day schools, many of which came into being during a widespread Zionist fervor (religious and not religious) in the middle of 20th century. There was a big push by the founders of these schools to institute a Sefardic pronunciation. While I ended up following my father, just about all of my classmates (and my brother as well) still use a Sefardic pronunciation to this day.
My Hebrew teachers came from Israel, so they taught me how to read and write Hebrew as Israelis do.
I imagine those schools which do not hire Israelis to teach Hebrew, are also less likely to end up with students who feel a connection to religious Zionism.
However, I was also always taught that the Temani way of pronouncing Hebrew is actually the "most correct", and Israeli Hebrew is a mixture of all three, while also simplified to make teaching Ulpan easiest to the most people from the most amount of countries.
For the most part, the Sephardic pronounciation (with a few exceptions) is commonly accepted as the correct one.
That is to say, and I hope I'm not insulting anyone, much of what is known as Ashkenazic pronounciation (though not all of it) is actually a mispronounciation.
I say "commonly accepted", outside of the hardcore, ashkenoizis yeshivot (and except for non-bi-lingual Americans ;-)).
Then again, most Israelis speak broken Hebrew, anyway...
I will relate that I know someone, very learned and studied this specifically for a long time - in his tfilla, kriat hatorah, etc, he is very careful both to pronounce the ayin, chet, and other Sephardic elements, and also the saf, kamatz, and other Ashkenazic elements.

I am here again to ask how to implement these things on my rpg game...but before that, have you ever heard of the game engine called Legendary Tales? It is like Inform but there is a better GUI and class picking and stuff...I tried to mimic that style unto my rpg using java...although these problems came to me:
Background Music - I need to at least let the gamers feel nice and relaxed...since it is a text rpg.
Commands and Action Listeners
Weapons and Armors - How can I make the armors add attributes and changes to the character's status and affect their battle status as well?
Calculation of Damage, Critical Hit and Critical Hit Percentage.
I sent here a link of my UNFINISHED or STARTED demo of the game...there's nothing in it yet but do please study what you can do about it.

You look, I have installed the version 12.10 of the Ubuntu and try to install the Gloobus Preview, but when I finished and started to use it, any file was opening with it. The files opened totally no view. What happened? if I wonder because of the new version?
Well, Ubuntu Precise users can install it by simply running the following commands:
