Depression: Towards an Integrated Approach - Part One
by Tony Reid
In this paper the author aims to present the current state of knowledge about Depression according to both Western psychiatry and traditional Chinese medicine, with a critical evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches. The paper argues for a dramatic shift in the way patients presenting with a depressed mood are assessed and treated. It points the way to an integrated approach involving revised criteria for the diagnosis of a mental disorder as well as the provision of appropriate support for patients using selected methods from TCM as well as Western psychology and psychiatry.

As deer hunting season starts in September, gun safety isn't the only thing troubling hunters.
Eleven Kentucky counties have reported an outbreak of episodic hemorrhagic disease, or blue tongue.
It's a cyclic disease that affects deer every two to three years.
And the Department of Fish and Wildlife is warning hunters that the deer population could be severely affected this fall.
Earlier in the week, Nathan Sprague found two dead deer near his home in Rockfield.
"There was a little buck dead by the edge of the pond here and there was a doe dead in the pond itself," Sprague said.
And a little bit of research later, Nathan found out the deer had been affected by episodic hemorrhagic disease.
It's a disease that causes a fever and swelling of the head, neck and eyelids of the deer.
But according to the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, EHD is nothing uncommon.
"There's an outbreak every couple of years. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but due to some of this dry, hot weather, that might have some affect on the virus and some of the bugs that are transmitting the virus," James Heady, with the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife said.
"We have drought conditions, so we have stagnant water which gives more opportunity for these midge flies to reproduce. The more midge flies who are capable of carrying this disease, the more you're likely to be bitten by them," Sprague added.
Less than 25-percent of deer usually die from EHD in a population and Officer Heady is quick to point out. it's not infectious to humans.
But as a hunter of deer, Nathan's being wary about the meat he's storing this fall.
"I'll be definitely careful this year when we harvest deer. We'll look them over very well and be sure that if the deer has any lesion, we'll probably dispose of it rather than use it for food," Sprague assured.
Usually, it takes 72 hours for a deer to die of EHD.

The fan-made trailer that Disney should have used.
Is any press good press? And is that a question asked by Disney's marketeers before they practically threw their most recent attempt at a big-budget film franchise John Carter under the bus? And is it a question that has been answered after John Carter's negatively anticipated opening weekend?
Prior to its release, the story about John Carter became the lack of a story. Media outlets paid attention not to any virtue it may or may not have, but to the fact that Disney seemed either not to know how to market it or seemingly chose not to throw good money after bad. They focused on the fact that Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom novels are not exactly renowned in mainstream culture, and on the fact that there was next to no public anticipation for it, and on the fact that it cost somewhere in the vicinity of $250 million to make. And the media talked about this a lot.
Then advance screenings went out and the people lucky enough to be paid critics started to weigh their opinions. As of Saturday, March 10th, half-way through John Carter's opening weekend, it sat at 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. The funny thing about it is that at least a good half of the negative reviews were actually positive reviews if you actually like the kind of movie John Carter is supposed to be. For example, Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger, regarded as a "top critic" with a gold star and everything, lambasted the experience for being like "watching a dusty old sword-and-sandal epic." No Stephen, that is a good thing. That is what it is supposed to be like, and I love sword-and-sandal epics. (The other half mostly complained that John Carter had several characters each with motivations who needed to be kept track of for the story to make sense, and doing that is haaaaaard) Almost to a one, positive critics cited what John Carter actually is: Rafer Guzman of Newsday, another gold-star top critic, said "it's an enjoyable throwback to the movie spectacles of a more innocent age." Exactly!
Finally along came the audiences. Despite only a 50% freshness rating from the critics, 72% of the responding audience enjoyed it. When I went to see it on Saturday night, the theatre was practically full and a line was forming for the next show when we exited. The domestic gross came out to $30.6 million, which is actually a fairly normal figure, especially for a movie debuting in March. It did much better in the foreign market, to the tune of $70.6M, which Forbes' Roger Friedman attempted to downplay with the racist proclamation that "Released in countries where English wasn't necessary... It's a hit if you don't need to follow the plot but want to see some cool effects." My girlfriend graciously joined me despite her preference for Disney's fairy tales and never having heard of Barsoom before in her life, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We're both Canadians though, so what do we know? Obviously it's the foreigners who have bad taste, right Roger?
Any positive word-of-mouth John Carter receives is deserved. On the Disney scale, it has been their best live-action film since Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which was Disney's best live-action film in decades, and Disney's best genre film since the mighty 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Granted that might not be saying much, since it's competing with Island at the Top of the World, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, The Rocketeer and another Burroughs adaptation, Tarzan, all of which I liked and think are unfairly maligned. One of the ways in which Disney marketeering was asleep at the switch was not including little facts in the trailers like "From the Director of Wall-E and Finding Nemo" and "From the Creator of Tarzan". Nevertheless, John Carter exceeds being "good for a Disney film" and is just plain good.
Any filmmaker who approaches Edgar Rice Burroughs' work is faced with a challenge of how to work with nigh on unfilmable material. There is a reason why there has never been a truly book-accurate adaptation of Tarzan of the Apes. Its disjointed, nearly plotless sequence of things that happen to Tarzan one after another would make a terrible movie. Yet there have been some fantastic Tarzan movies, from the Johnny Weissmuller classics of the Thirties to Disney's. Pixar's Andrew Stanton, whose previous credit highlight was directing two Academy Award Best Animated Feature winners, had a less formidable task with A Princess of Mars. Unlike later Barsoom novels, the first is a pretty solid piece of work with good, exciting scenes that only needed some massaging.... A massaging in of why any of this is happening to John Carter and a massaging out of the cringeworthy artifacts of the time and culture in which it was written. Stanton accomplishes both with aplomb.
In A Princess of Mars, Carter ends up on Mars through some kind of spontaneous mental transference, becomes inadvertently involved in the politics of Mars, and is mentally transferred back to Earth at the moment of an otherwise heroic death saving the planet. In Disney's John Carter, our hero stumbles across one of the interplanetary transfer points being used by the Thern, or white martians, and is accidentally transported to Mars by one of their indistinguishable-from-magic medallions. The political intrigues of Barsoom, into which Carter is thrust, are spurred along by the Thern to their own Machiavellian ends. The climax is not as random as the book's, and actually has to do with defeating the intrigues of these shapeshifting schemers. Stanton has taken all the best elements of the book and structured them in a coherent plot that sets up it trilogy quite well. For my money, Carter will return to a Barsoom oppressed by the Thern, take his Hero's Journey down the Iss to confront them and the power behind them, only to return and raise Barsoom up against their oppressors in the third film. Though being compared frequently to Star Wars and Avatar, the film that should have been called John Carter of Mars most brings to mind Lawrence of Arabia.
Assuming, of course, that there will be sequels. If Disney is planning further films in the Tron franchise, then by God they better be considering "John Carter and the Gods of Mars" and "John Carter: Warlord of Mars".
One valid complaint is that Taylor Kitsch is somewhat uncharismatic in a story that depends so profoundly on the protagonist's personal charisma. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Carter is given an actual character arc, unlike the novels where he just does his stuff. His choices to fight for Barsoom and Dejah Thoris are a direct growth out of his losses as a soldier during the American Civil War. Stanton even goes so far as to provide audiences with one of the most moving battle scenes I've ever seen. In most films, scenes of sex and violence are pointless. They seem to exist only for spectacle and titillation, and if they achieve any kind of impact it is usually by emotionally manipulative means (like the ubiquitous slow-motion death scene). There are very few that exist which actually tell us something significant about the human condition or the characters involved. When Carter turns to face down pursuing enemies so that Dejah Thoris can escape, and the viciousness of his assault on them is cut with Carter burying his wife and child back in Virginia, it leaps off the screen in a way that its digital 3D novelty cannot. The scene even tells us something about the character and general awesomeness of Woola, the wordless calot dog-beast.
By many accounts Woola stole the show as well, which is no mean feat for a beast that could have easily been made into obnoxious kid appeal (not that it matters, since Disney also dropped the ball on toys). Just enough of him is seen to make us love him, and every time he is seen he counts for something. The Tharks were well-realized, though in my mind's eye they actually looked more like how the white apes turned out. Perhaps the most unenviable task fell to Lynn Collins, given the role of Dejah Thoris, The Most Beautiful Woman in the Universe. Dejah is necessarily one of those characters that looks different to everyone who reads her lines, but Collins works astonishingly well. She is absolutely stunning, and not only does she retain her intelligent imperiousness, but she further cements her status as a Sci-Fi fantasy goddess by being good with a sword. Expect to see raven-haired cosplayers in red eyeliner tattoos at the next regional comic-con.
John Carter is, by itself, a solid and enjoyable Planetary Romance... a Sci-Fi sword-and-sandal epic that is exactly what it should be. In many ways it could be likened to Science Fiction's Lord of the Rings: a foundational text to the genre rendered in epic form. And frankly, I liked it a lot more than I liked Lord of the Rings, it having a coherent plot and intelligible direction being no small part of the reason. Brisk action scenes are complimented with well-staged exposition and genuine levity, including a running joke about John's name that never seemed to get tired. It's a very definite contender for the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing, which is the de facto category for best Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror or War film.
I can't help but wonder if John Carter's marketing wouldn't have been in better hands if it was a Disney*Pixar film instead of just a Disney one. That could have actually used the draw of the studio and made that connection to who Andrew Stanton is, not to mention reframe the media's narrative from "Disney's next live-action flop" to "Pixar's first live-action blockbuster!" For now it will have to rely on a reputation garnered from the people who dropped $100M to see it on opening weekend. Hopefully a good reputation will increase its draw over the coming weeks and prove to Disney that their marketeers don't know what they're doing. I mean, are we really going to be getting a Pandora at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park instead of a Barsoom? Really?

Creation of New Public Highways (Section 38 Agreement)
A voluntary agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 can be used where an applicant proposes to construct a new estate road for residential, industrial or general purpose traffic as the legal means by which the road becomes a public highway.
Where, as part of a development, a developer proposes to construct a new estate road for residential, industrial or general purpose traffic there are two main ways in which a new road may be offered to the Highway Authority for adoption to become maintainable at the public expense:
- The developer may complete the construction of the road and then offer it to the Highway Authority under Section 37 of the Highways Act 1980; or,
- The developer may opt for the more desirable route and enter into a legal agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980.
As the Highway Authority, the Council has no power to insist that a road is made up to an adoptable standard or that a road is subsequently offered for adoption. If the road under construction is to be adopted the role of the Council, as Highway Authority, is to ensure that it is built to the appropriate standard and adequately lit and drained.
The Section 38 agreement comprises a framework of clauses, conditions, terms and prescribed timescales within which the developer is expected to operate. Whilst the Highway Authority has no power to insist that a developer enter into a Section 38 Agreement, many consider it the most desirable route to achieve ultimate adoption of their estate road(s).
The adoption process can be lengthy and while the road is unadopted the developer is responsible for maintaining the road until adoption happens. On larger developments the completed road may be used as site access for more phases of the development, therefore adoption under a Section 38 is normally takes place on completion of the whole of the development. Further complications may arise if the site is divided into phases by different developers and on finishing the construction some developers leave the site before the roads are adopted.
A Section 38 agreement is supported by a bond or cash deposit calculated by the Highway Authority and based on the cost of the works proposed. This bond or cash deposit can be called upon if the developer goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults on his responsibilities.
If you are unsure of the status of any highway in Birmingham please contact our Highway Information Team. If the result of your query is that the highway is the subject of a Section 38 Agreement you can get more information by contacting our Private Development Section on 0121 303 7695.

Thyroid gland removal is surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located inside the front of the lower neck.
The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system. It helps your body regulate your metabolism.
Total thyroidectomy; Partial thyroidectomy; Thyroidectomy; Subtotal thyroidectomy
Depending on the reason you are having your thyroid gland removed, the type of thyroidectomy you have will be either a:
You will have general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. In rare cases, the surgery is done with local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake, but pain-free.
During the procedure:
Surgery to remove your whole thyroid may take up to 4 hours. It may take less time if only part of the thyroid is removed.
Your doctor may recommend thyroid removal if you have any of the following:
You may also have surgery if you have an overactive thyroid gland and do not want to have radioactive iodine treatment, or you cannot be treated with antithyroid medicines.
Risks of anesthesia include:
Risks of thyroidectomy include:
You may need to have tests that show exactly where the abnormal thyroid growth is located. This will help the surgeon find the growth during surgery. You may have a CT scan, ultrasound, or other imaging tests.
Your doctor may also do a fine needle aspiration to find out if the growth is noncancerous or cancerous. Before surgery, your vocal cord function may be checked.
You may also need thyroid medicine or iodine treatments 1 to 2 weeks before your surgery.
Before surgery, an anesthesiologist will review your medical history and decide what type of anesthesia to use. The anesthesiologist is a doctor who will give you the medicines that will make you sleepy and keep you pain-free during surgery. The anesthesiologist will also monitor you during surgery.
Fill any prescriptions for pain medicine and calcium you will need after surgery.
Several days to a week before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include:
You will probably be asked to stop eating or drinking at some point the night before or day of surgery. Your doctor or nurse will give you specific instructions.
Ask your doctor which medicines you should still take the day of surgery.
If you smoke, try to stop. Your recovery time will be shorter if you do not smoke. Ask your doctor or nurse for help.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Be sure to arrive on time.
You will probably go home the day after surgery. In rare cases, patients spend up to 3 days in the hospital. You must be able to swallow liquids before you can go home.
Your doctor may check the calcium level in your blood after surgery. This is done more often when the whole thyroid gland is removed.
You may have some pain after surgery. Most patients are able to get up and walk on the day after surgery. It should take about 3 to 4 weeks for you to fully recover.
Follow any instructions for taking care of yourself after you go home.
Outcome of this surgery is usually excellent. Most people need to take thyroid hormone pills (thyroid hormone replacement) for the rest of their lives when the whole gland is removed.

All Terrain Tackle Grassmaster Jig
Field tested on Florida's Lake Okeechobee, The All-Terrain Tackle Grassmaster Weed Jig can be fished in and around the thickest vegetation. The Grassmaster Weed Jig's pointed head and low angle weed guard can punch through super-heavy grass mats. The Grassmaster is built on a super-sharp 2X strong Mustad Ultra Point hook for horsing that hawg out of heavy cover. The All-Terrain Tackle "hidden eye" design allows the Grassmaster jig to get in and out of vegetation better than any other jig.
Endorsed by FLW pro Scott Martin, the big 1oz model is his favorite jig for fishing the super-heavy mats found on his home waters of Lake Okeechobee. These mats are so thick that raccoons walk across them without touching water!

From: Dave: Mohawk River, NY 4/20/15
Comments: bought 5 of these jigs in 3/4 ounces and used one today to punch some pads and after about 300 casts I can tell you that they go through with no problem and have no problem with the weed guard or skirt only caught 4 biggest was 2 1/2 pounds but great jig

Comments: This thing feels bulletproof. It definitely does not catch a lot of grass, and the hook is strong. Haven't caught anything on it, but I trust it enough to stick with it until I do.

Comments: O my god this jig is amazing!! it punches threw the grass great and has life like action on the skirt! get the Watermelon Red jig of this and get a Reaction Innovation sweet beaver as a trailer in Watermelon Red so it matches and you will catch a PIG i've landed three 6.5lb Largemouth on this jig and it won me a tourney!!
From: Tyler: MI
Comments: These jigs are great for working thick heavy grass. I use the 3/4oz in black/blue and is very effective. It doesn't pick up a lot of grass, but when it does just give a short quick pop and the grass comes off easily allowing you to continue working your lure instead of bring it back to clean off the grass. The hooks stay sharp and are very strong. The paint is very durable. I do have a lot of scratches on it from going over rocks, but no peeling or chipping. Overall very good jig for grass.
From: Touny: Overland Park, KS

A basic box trap is a painless and humane method of safely capturing cats. Regardless of the level of socialization, do not attempt to pick up a cat to put her in a carrier. Use a humane box trap or drop trap to ensure the safety of the cats and you. We do not recommend "clam" traps, as they can injure cats (instead, use drop traps for trap-savvy cats). Never use darts or tranquilizers to attempt to catch a cat. These methods are also dangerous and stressful to the cats.

I am using confirm() message box in java servlets, i am geting problem with popup blocker even i enable the popup blocker.
please guide me to solve this problem.
Thank you.
I am using confirm() message box in java servlets, i am geting problem with popup blocker even i enable the popup blocker.
please guide me to solve this problem.
Thank you.
1. When talking IE it is best to give ver number as they all work differently. I check the below code in IE8 and it works for me.
2. We are in the dark and have to guess if code is not supplied.
3. java servlets is for a different language, java not javascript.
What I check:
4. Such things as confirm boxes, prompt boxes, and alert boxes are not used much in programming anymore except for testing purposes.Code:<!DOCTYPE html>
Click the button to display a confirm box.
 <button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

confirm() is for debugging use only and is rarely needed even then so it doesn't really matter whether it works or not - it could be deleted from JavaScript now without having any real impact.
Learn Modern JavaScript - http://javascriptexample.net/
Helping others to solve their computer problem at http://www.felgall.com/
Don't forget to start your JavaScript code with
"use strict";which makes it easier to find errors in your code.
As the original poster said, he is getting the problem in JAVA servlets. Not JavaScript. So he is posting in the wrong forum.
I would assume, since he says the JAVA confirm() is being blocked by the popup blocker, that the JAVA confirm is, indeed, using a popup window and has nothing to do with JavaScript's window.confirm( ) method.
See, for example, the various kinds of confirm dialogs noted here:
Last edited by Old Pedant; 01-02-2013 at 08:26 PM.
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.
thanks for the reply.
but i am unable to understand my prooblem...
please check the below to codes which i am using in two diffrent programs
1) first code is working on same IE
out.println("function popMessage(f)");
out.println("if(f.chk.checked) ");
out.println(" if(confirm('If you click the Post button now the agreement will be removed from Action List '))");
out.println(" { }");
out.println(" }");
2) Second code is the problem code with popup blocker on IE
out.println(" if( info == '--') ");
out.println(" {");
out.println(" var x= confirm('Für diese Aktion wurden bereits Kosten verbucht. Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie weitere Kosten verbuchen wollen?');");
out.println("if (x)");
out.println(" {");
out.println("window.open('Costreason.html', '', 'height=350,width=450');");
out.println(" }");
As has been pointed out, this is JAVA code so you have posted in the wrong forum. This is the JavaScript forum. Java and Javascript are entirely different programming languages, in spite of the confusingly similar names. Rather like Austria and Australia! Ask a mod to move this thread to the right forum.
But it is obvious that the problem lies with the literary quotes in
Kosten verbuchen wollen?"');");
That will barf in any browser, not just IE.
All the code given in this post has been tested and is intended to address the question asked.
Unless stated otherwise it is not just a demonstration.
Ummm...Philip, although he is using Java to *write* the output, that's just server-side Java.
That server-side Java *IS* creating JavaScript, correctly.
It is true that he has a bogus "literary quote" mark in there, as shown in the large red text, but that won't hurt anything as it will be ignored by JavaScript (and Java, incidentally) and only the subsequent apostrophe will be used, correctly.Code:if( info == '--') { var x = confirm('Für diese Aktion wurden bereits Kosten verbucht. Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie weitere Kosten verbuchen wollen?"'); if ( x ) { window.open('Costreason.html', '', 'height=350,width=450'); window.close(); } }
As shown, the code is missing one closing right brace } as I have indicated, but since he says the code works in browsers other than IE, it's probably really there in the actual code.
I really think he may be right, that his is a problem with a popup blocker.
On the other hand, the code also doesn't make tons of sense.
He opens the popup window for 'Costreason.html' but then *CLOSES* the CURRENT WINDOW. Why? If you only want one window to remain open, just *replace* the current window with the new one.

5 Absurdly Fatal Injuries You Won't Believe People Survived
#2. The Drumming Man vs. the Kalahari Desert
Imagine flying above the Kalahari Desert, a land of heat, hunger, thirst and dangerous wild animals trying like hell to avoid all these. Pilots flying over this geographical death warrant dread plane malfunctions, referring to them as "landing in hell." Now, imagine your plane malfunctions. And then the crash cripples you.
And then the plane sleeps with your wife.
Such was the fate of Greg Rasmussen, a conservationist who ran into intense winds and crashed his plane, leaving him in the middle of the desert's Hwange National Park with his legs lifeless sacks of bone bits and gristle. Also, his radio was broken and he had no water. This is known as fate's way of saying "bye bye."
The disoriented Rasmussen crawled into the shadow of a tree to wait in the off chance that someone would find him. Something did. Multiple times. To start off, he was treated to the default desert greeting for injured strangers: two interested vultures perched nearby. When he didn't keel over and die peacefully, the birds took off, and Rasmussen crawled under the fuselage to seek shelter from the sun and inquiring beaks. This kept him alive for the remainder of the day. The trouble was the night.
Project Destiny
"Stupid nature, quit trying to eat me! I'M SAVING YOU!"
Almost immediately after sunset, the desert was bustling with activity, most of which was directed toward eating or maiming Greg Rasmussen. First, a bunch of nearby elephants decided that they didn't like his stupid face and started stampeding at him. He survived by the skin of his teeth, as his panicked banging on the aluminum hull of the plane managed to freak the animals out enough to stop the stampede. Next, lions started stalking him. He managed to avoid their attack by recognizing the sounds of a lioness and repeating his drumming trick. The same tactic worked when a prowling hyena attempted to help himself to a Greg steak.
After 24 hours of exposure, pain and frantic drum solos aimed at the tiniest movement, Rasmussen was spotted and rescued by another pilot. When he arrived in a hospital, doctors were astonished that he had lived for even an hour -- it took 100 freaking operations to restore even some use of his legs.
"And for some reason, the doctor insisted on using this oversized novelty syringe."
These days, Rasmussen's legs are three inches shorter and nearly useless. However, his experience hasn't left an ounce of animosity toward the animals that so enthusiastically attempted to murder him. Instead, he is running an anti-poacher organization. Either the man is a saint or he doesn't want any of the animals that tormented him killed until he has tied them to a chair and subjected them to the most vicious drum solo this side of Led Zeppelin.
#1. The 47-Day Raft Ride from Hell
Louis Zamperini had a lifelong history of turning crap into gold: When he was a juvenile criminal who constantly had to run away from things, he just honed his running ability until he represented America in the 1936 Olympics. (He also stole an important Nazi flag from under the noses of Hitler's minions during the trip. He was that kind of guy.) In 1943, World War II was raging, and Zamperini was a pilot on the Pacific front. During a search and rescue mission, his plane crashed into a Japanese-controlled region of the ocean. Zamperini fought his way to the surface and was joined by two other survivors, Francis McNamara and Russell Phillips.
Fanny Schertzer
Do you see, Kate Winslet? This is how you do it.
A quick search of the still floating remains equipped them with two rafts, some paddles, a patch kit and a little food. All this amounted to little more than a prolonged exposure death at sea, but they decided to brave it.
On the very first day, the sharks came, big and bold enough that they touched the flimsy rafts while circling them. Zamperini actually felt their fins rubbing his back through the fabric, which isn't as sexy as it sounds when you're actually experiencing it. The following days weren't any better. Sharks floated alongside them like dogs waiting for a treat, poking at the raft and even occasionally attempting to jump in. Zamperini and the others solved the problem by beating them with paddles whenever they approached.
Just in case you were confused about the scale here.
Still, sharks were only a part of their problem. The trio was constantly on the brink of starvation. They got food however they could -- an unwary albatross that perched on the raft was immediately snatched and killed. Zamperini got into the habit of fashioning hooks out of leftover scraps and tying them in his hands for some Wolverine-style fishing. They even managed to beat a few sharks to death and eat their livers, because at that point they really hated sharks.
After 27 days at sea, they finally saw an aircraft. Yeah! Oh, wait, it was a Japanese bomber.
The plane attacked them six times, firing and even dropping a freaking depth charge at them. Zamperini tried to create another target by jumping out of the raft, which proved to be a bad move, as the ocean was still full of the sharks he had been maiming for weeks. After some underwater shark fighting and a raft repair session, the trio was left exhausted. Still, they weren't without morale: When McNamara died on Day 33, the remaining two refused to resort to cannibalism and gave him an improvised funeral at sea, to the eternal joy of the beaten and battered sharks.
On Day 47, the two survivors finally found land. Too bad for them that said land happened to contain a Japanese POW camp. Having survived aquatic predators, crashes, exposure, gunfire and the death of a comrade, Zamperini's reward was two and a half years of near starvation and daily beatings at the hands of the Japanese. However, he not only persevered, but survived, and even forgave his abusers.

"I forgive you ... for punching like a prepubescent cheerleader with muscular dystrophy."
Having depleted his stash of shitty karma, Louis Zamperini went on to live a pretty good life. He is 95 at the time of writing this article, and he has more buildings named after him than Donald Trump. Considering that this is a man who once spent a month and a half beating Jaws into submission, we feel that this is only fair.

text: Fung Koo, in a private message, asked me to expand on the perceived value of workshops online and off as a vehicle for self-promotion. Here's what I've seen, in both my own experience and in that of other writers I know. In general, teaching writing is not a good tool for promoting one's own fiction writing (obviously, if you're using a textbook you wrote on writing, that nonfiction book will pick up sales.) That's because people who take workshops are there to learn to write their own publishable books, not to find a new writer to read. This is really clear in workshops that aren't part of conventions, like Odyssey, Clarion, Sycamore Hill, Viable Paradise, etc. Someone who comes to those has one overriding goal--learning to write well enough to get published. They may come to a particular workshop because they already admire one of the instructor-writers (and hope the success will rub off or that writer will have some tips or some connections) or because of the workshop's reputation for having its students get published. I know people who have taught at some of these, and I taught at Viable Paradise its first year--and if their students care about the instructor's work, they've already read it. If they don't, they're so focused on their own desire to get published that unless the instructor pushes his/her own work as part of the instruction, there's no discerniable interest in sales. At SF conventions, the results and the analysis are more mixed. Those who teach at convention workshops--or go on panels aimed at unpublished writers--are also available in other venues--usually they're also on non-writing-track panels, and they're interacting with fans (some of whom may have attended the workshop or writing panel.) If a good number of that writer's work sells in the dealer's room during the convention, it's possible (but not certain) that the workshop and writing panels brought in a few sales. However, what I've seen of that venue suggests that the bulk of the writing sales (when not mostly people who came to that convention to buy signed copies of that writer's work) come from being interesting/witty on non-writing panels and from interacting directly with people elsewhere in the convention. Those who come to the convention for the writing workshop and the writing panels are, once again, focused on finding a way to get their work published. They are as apt to be annoyed to angry with one of the instructors for telling them what they don't want to know ("That story is not ready for submission--fix this, this, and that") as eager to read the instructor's fiction. Sadly, many people who go to workshops and attend writing-track panels are not willing to hear what they don't want to hear. They have very fixed ideas about what it takes to get published, what the "hidden truth" is, etc. I sat beside Anne McCaffrey at a long panel on getting started in writing one time, and she gave a ton of valuable advice. At the end, one of the attendees buttonholed her on her way out and said "I know you have to say all that to everyone else, your publisher probably makes you, but what's the real secret to getting published??? I won't tell anyone else..." This sort of attitude--that there are all sorts of conspiracies and secret handshakes and so on--means that a lot of people come away disappointed and upset--and not in the mood to buy the instructors' books, if they weren't already doing so. Where workshops do have a promotional effect is in getting gigs for more workshops. That's especially true for those with advanced college degrees, especially doctorates in Fine Arts or English, but also for those with an MFA. If someone has taught at a prestigious workshop, both more workshop gigs and even academic appointments may follow. As a sideline or even main source of income, teaching workshops (for pay, of course) and teaching creative writing at colleges can supplement income from fiction. However, odd as it seems, this doesn't necessarily lead to more fiction sales. I know people whose fiction-writing career has slid downward (rather than climbing) although their workshop-teaching and academic-appearances have increased. One reason (other than student annoyance with instructors) might be that being the instructor for a residential workshop, as the prestigious ones are, is a heckuva lot of work. You have to read all the manuscripts; you have to prepare detailed critiques; you engage with the students every day, hours a day. You have to bend your mind to someone else's vision (every other student's vision) so that your comments make sense to that person in light of what they were trying to do. For some of us, it takes time afterward to wash your brain clean of those other influences, and get back to your own work with your own focus. Do that too often, or too long, and it's a real impediment to your own work. Online workshops and posts on writing, as I said before, have a completely untested effect on book sales. I suspect (but can't prove) that they're no more effective than non-internet workshops in producing sales of the instructors' work. After all, that's not their purpose--their purpose is to help the students get published. That's how their success is measured. There's a further complication: some really good writers are lousy teachers (and if they attempt it, they alienate more than the usual percentage of their students) and some really good writing teachers are not that good at writing fiction (so any student who is tempted to buy the instructor's novel reads a few pages and wonders if the instructor ever followed his/her own advice...) But I think the big gap that results in few sales comingfrom teaching writing is that the students aren't there to buy the instructor's books--they want his/her expertise. (Or they don't, and complain about it after they get it.) An exception that isn't really is the writer's appearance at a university when the university has chosen a book as the "community reading"--and has thus forced faculty and students to read it. But those sales were made before the writer appears...they are not contingent on people deciding, after a writing workshop, to buy the writer's fiction. And the appearance isn't usually a writing course of any kind, but specific to a given book. Some books are included in the syllabus for genre fiction courses (lucky the writer to whom this happens!!!)--but again, that's not self-promotion by the writer. So: To promote your fiction, you do personal appearances, you go to bookstores and sign shelf stock, you build a website and have a blog. If you can do it without getting in flamewars, you go to other sites and hang out and try to sound interesting enough that someone might--possibly--check out one of your books, without talking so much about your books that it annoys everyone. Some people have e-newsletters; some people carry around freebies (other than business cards) such as pens or bookmarks. When people ask what you do, you say you're a writer (and then endure all the humiliating questions they ask...sigh. "Could I read everything you've written in five minutes?") To promote yourself as a writing teacher, you teach workshops--at first unpaid, later paid if you're successful--and appear on conventions panels in the writing track. You answer endless questions, and offer your experience, both for pay and gratis. If you want to move into more of a teaching role, if your fiction isn't that successful or you just love teaching, you do more of this, and you also get the necessary advanced degrees to apply to teach creative writing in a college or university. (Universities simply will not accept publishing credits as sufficient qualification for being on the faculty. If they have a cheapie night-school component, you might get to teach there, but it won't pay nearly as well. A friend of mine teaches creative writing in the evenings at a major university, but she's never been asked to even speak to the "real" English department creative writing classes.) I don't have an MFA or a PhD, and I wasn't even an English major, which totally freaks out English professors. (I had one ask me, at a university gig, "What made you think you could write, if you weren't an English major?" It is to scream silently.) [aside: there's a squirrel on my windowsill, flirting her tail....so cute. Bushy-tailed rat, but still...so cute. I moved the curtain to see better and now she's on a sapling...nope, just jumped to the ground and bounded off somewhere.]

I'm studiying for an exam I have on combinatorics next week and I'm stuck with the solution to this question:
Imagine you have a pentagon and you want to color the corners of the pentagon so that no two adjacent corners have the same color. If you have 'q' colors, how many ways of coloring the pentagon are possible.
I say that the answer is $q^2*(q-1)^2*(q-2) + q*(q-1)*(q-2)^2*(q-3)$.
My friend says the answer is $MyAnswer + q*(q-1)*(q-2)*(q-3)*(q-4)$.
Who is right? (or are we both wrong).
Further if you could point out a resource that explains how to calculate this question for other numbers of corners (say an hexagon) we would really appreciate it.
Answering to some comments in the answer, rotations of the pentagon should not be counted. What I mean is that if we have 5 colors (a,b,c,d,e) the pentagon with corners {(1,a),(2,b),(3,c),(4,d),(5,e)} is exactly the same as {(1,c),(2,d),(3,e),(4,a),(5,b)}

It is well known that SAGBI/Gröbner bases are important for commutative and non-commutative algebra. The references for commutative scenery is ample and vast, but I am in trouble to find a good reference for the general theory of SAGBI/Gröbner bases for non-commutative setting. Actually, I am interesting in the following subjects:
(1) Where can I find the general construction of these bases for non-commutative setting?
(2) Is there some reference for the specific case of the Universal enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional semi-simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$?
(3) Does exist a reference using this bases in representation theory? For instance, in the study of universal objects defined by generators and relations.

NIOSH's Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Reports
Date of incident: Sept. 29, 2005
A 67-year-old machine operator died from burns when a fire ignited between the engine and cab of a bulldozer. The victim had been working at the company as a full-time heavy equipment operator for about 30 years. On the day of the incident, the operator was reversing the bulldozer to remove shale when a hydraulic line burst and sprayed hot fluid across the engine while the victim was sitting inside the cab. The resulting fire ignited the clothing of the victim, who exited the cab. The owner of the company was working about 30 feet away when the incident occurred. He rolled the victim onto the ground and extinguished the fire with loose shale and dirt. Emergency medical services arrived about seven minutes after receiving a call from the owner. The victim was treated in a nearby hospital for roughly three hours and then airlifted to another hospital, where he died.
To prevent future occurrences:
- Inspect mobile construction equipment on a daily basis to ensure defective equipment is immediately reported and removed from service until repaired. OSHA requires all construction equipment to be maintained in a safe and operable condition. Employers should designate a competent person to be responsible for daily pre-shift equipment checks and verifying that problems are corrected. The owner did not require the bulldozer involved in this incident to be formally inspected with a checklist prior to each shift. Each operator was expected to look over their equipment prior to use.
- Develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive written safety and health program for all workers. Employers should evaluate all tasks performed by workers; identify all potential hazards; then develop, implement, and enforce a written safety and health program that meets applicable OSHA standards and addresses these hazards. No written safety and health program was in place at this company, and the company did not document training. On-the-job training was provided through verbal means, safety packets were distributed and reminders were added to a bulletin board.
