The 6 Biggest Assholes in the Animal Kingdom
#3. African Bat-Bug
Is the bat-bug the tiny caped crusading defender of the insect kingdom? After watching his parents being murdered right in front of his eyes with a can of Raid did he swear a one bug war against crime and corruption? Well, no, obviously not, but trust us, we liked this bug better when we thought it was a pocket sized version of Batman.
Why Are They Assholes?
Let's put it bluntly: bat-bugs hate vaginas. Oh, they like the ladies, their race would have gone extinct quite a while ago otherwise. They just really hate vaginas.
"More like badginas, am I right, gang?"
Despite the fact that batgirl-bugs have perfectly working bug-vaginas -- not that we know from personal experience mind you, but the guys that study bug vaginas say so--bat-bugs just don't like to insert their penis there. So, what do they do?
They take their sharp hard-ons, stab the females in the abdomen, and inject their sperm into their bloodstream. They like to do that so much they sometimes even do it to other male bat-bugs.
Ha Ha! My semen runs in your veins!
You... you asshole!
Of course there must be a good reason they go through all that trouble, right? Well, not really. Scientist just say they evolved a form of sexual sadism, which is just a fancy way of saying they are gigantic dicks who like to make others suffer with their penises. Or maybe they just have extraordinarily poor aim.
#2. Bottle-Nose Dolphins
After the messiah-like lions, the animal with the best reputation in the entire World is the dolphin, a sort of combination of Buddha and Aquaman. When dolphins are not rescuing swimmers from sharks, they are using their magical dolphin healing powers to make paraplegics walk.
Why Are They Assholes?
Besides also being among the smartest things on Earth, dolphins share another characteristic with humans: they're the only other animal that will kill for fun.
Back in the late nineties, marine biologists began to find lots of porpoise carcasses that had seemingly been punched in the gut until they died. After rounding up the suspects, putting them in the line up, the porpoise widow pointed at the guilty party: asshole bottle-nose dolphins.
Porpoises don't attack dolphins. They don't even eat the same food, so they can't be fighting because they hog all the good fish. And the fight is not for territory, since porpoises are't just chased away but actually stalked and then killed.
There are only two explanations left: either "Because dolphins think killing is freaking hilarious" or because "Dolphins kill porpoises as training for when they have to kill baby dolphins."
It turns out porpoises aren't the only animals turning up floating in the sea after meeting dolphins; the other ones being baby dolphins themselves. Some marine biologists believe adult dolphins kill babies for the same reasons lions do, to bang dolphin moms, except that there are reports of female dolphins also killing dolphin babies, which either destroys the theory or makes it much, much sexier.
To make matters sound even worse, scientist say dolphins use their sonar to pinpoint their victims' vital organs so that they can cause the most damage when they hit them.
Now, there aren't many cases of dolphins attacking humans, so at least there's that. But dolphins violently humping humans? Hell yeah!
Okay, that dude was asking for it.
#1. Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are our closest relatives, and they have 95% of the same genes we do. So close that most people like to think they are hairier, kinder, funnier, smaller versions of us who like to test our space rockets.
It's apparently that other 5% that's the problem...
Why Are They Assholes?
Being almost people, it's no surprise chimps regularly kill other chimps for territory and natural resources, with entire chimp tribes going at it. But to make it onto this list, they had to do something that goes beyond regular animal savagery and right into horror movie stuff. The horror movie in question is of course Italian classic, Cannibal Holocaust.
We didn't make this movie up.
Chimps, you see, have a tendency to suddenly grab a baby chimp from its mother's arms and chow down, sharing the meal with the entire group. Well, except for the mom, who presumably prefers to stay in a corner screaming: "Holy shit! Holy shit!"
It's even freakier when you find out that chimps normally are not all that much into eating meat. Chimpologists have a few theories as to why (it almost has a ceremonial quality, some have said), but frankly they all sound like they're making half assed guesses.
Are you baby or food? I kinda forgot.
Perhaps we're over-thinking it, and it's simply that chimp-babies are delicious. Either way, baby-eating is sort of a dick move.

Yes, I think the issue here is related to web-apps.
14 Nov 2012 11:38 AM #12
14 Dec 2012 2:00 PM #13
yes I have the same problem also on a production build - test works fine but production build doesnt.
I had to add my javascript file in the index.html as a script.
does anyone have a workaround? is this a known sencha issue?
4 Feb 2013 8:54 PM #14
Same issue
Also having this problem. If you use sencha app build package, everything works fine. With sencha app build production, external libraries are not available.
I'm using ST 2.1 with Cmd 3.0
6 Mar 2013 10:28 AM #15
Same Issue
Production build not loading external files and if I include them in index.html they are loaded too late.
6 Mar 2013 1:23 PM #16
Without knowing the specifics of your project, I imagine you could do this in a few ways:
(1) Manually copy the offending JS file (not a desirable solution)
(2) Automate this process by editing the Ant build used by Sencha Cmd (not a bad option)
(3) Edit your JS file so that it abides by the Sencha MVC pattern - meaning, use Ext.define() and then add it to the app.js "requires" block.
There's other solutions I could probably come up with, but those seem relatively easy to implement. Again, I don't know the specifics of anyone's project so my advice might change depending on other factors.
6 Mar 2013 1:56 PM #17
@arthurakay, the third option is what I used to solve my problem. I created a singleton object called Config like this
Ext.define('App.utils.Config', { singleton: true, alternateClassName: ['Config'], config: { api: { version: '1', platform: 'm' }, currency: { sign: '$', precision: 2 }, ... }, constructor: function(){ return this.config; } });
var price = Config.currency.sign + 10;
requires: [ 'App.utils.Config' ]
25 Mar 2013 10:33 AM #18
This is an issue for us too. We are building Sencha Touch application and deploying on Andraid using PhoneGap/Cordova. We need to include the cordova-2.5.0.js in our app.
If we deploy the debug version everything is OK.
If try and buid a production version using Sencha Command 3.0 using app build production we run into problems.
We have the following configuration in our app.json file:
"js": [ { "path": "touch/sencha-touch.js", "x-bootstrap": true }, { "path":"cordova-2.5.0.js" }, { "path": "app.js", "bundle": true, /* Indicates that all class dependencies are concatenated into this file when build */ "update": "delta" }
If we put js tag in the index.html:
Modifying third party scripts to make them "sencha" compatible is not always possible due to third party licensing limitations.
Using PhoneGap wrapper for native HTML5 apps is very common. Does Sencha have any recommendations for developers using PhoneGap - which Sencha command option we can to use to build the production code and how to proceed in that case?
Is the problem in the microloader? Maybe if we don't use it revert back to Sencha Touch 1.x style, the problem will be solved?
25 Mar 2013 12:56 PM #19
26 Mar 2013 8:18 AM #20
regarding app hanging at blue screen. I'm on ST 2.1, Cordova 2.2.0, Sencha Cmd v18.104.22.168 , and a few months ago found a temporary fix, until I finish app developing: try to change microloader's code from index.html of the production build with the one from testing build. At that time was a problem in microloader, maybe still it is.Github https://github.com/vadimpopa

How to add classes when using Midas Commands
I'm using the Ext.form.HtmlEditor.FormatBlock from http://blog.minimeta.de/2009/08/another-plugin-for-the-extjs-htmleditor/.
I'm wanting to add other options, such as Paragraphs with an additional class. That's why I've added another field to the SimpleStore called "mCls".
Now I want the insertFormatblock() function to add this class to the format block. But since I lack a lot of knowledge about the HTMLeditor and Midas commands, I can't seem to get any futher.
As I've searched up the Midas commands, it seems I cannot add classes or any other attributes to the 'formatblock' that will be executed. Does anyone know an possible solution or maybe a push in the right direction?
I thank you in advance.

Hm..... I tried that, but now you mentioned it, I think I interpreted that command wrong... I'll have it a go again.

There is always a (unique)normal condition expectation onto a masa in a type II_1 factor. When does a masa in a type III factor admit a normal conditional expectation? (If we drop normality, conditional expectations always exist because abelian subalgebras are injective Banach spaces).
Takesaki showed in section 6 of:
MR0303307 (46 #2445) Takesaki, Masamichi Conditional expectations in von Neumann algebras. J. Functional Analysis 9 (1972), 306–321. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022123672900043
that the following are equivalent for a von Neumann algebra M (not necessarily a factor):
Edit: As Jon Bannon helpfully points out, the original question asked "when does a MASA admit a conditional expectation onto it", and so this answer only says "not always" which isn't really a full answer!
It makes sense in the type III setting to ask about a normal conditional expectation onto a subalgebra of a type III factor with respect to a given faithful normal semifinite weight on that factor which has semifinite restriction onto the subalgebra. The existence of such a conditional expectation onto a subalgebra is equivalent to that subalgebra being invariant under the modular automorphism group associated to the weight. (It's Theorem 4.2 on page 211 of Takesaki volume II.)
Although this answers the question in some cheap way, it's probably best viewed as a reprhasing of the question as something like "is there a natural description of the invariance of a MASA in a type III factor under the modular automorphism group of a normal semifinite weight".
I hope this rephrasing is helpful (as you certainly knew about what I said in the first paragraph).

AN ARTICLE by Michele K. Sommer, former Martins Ferry resident, and her students' artwork are a "quite rare" addition to the Harvard Educational Review, published this spring and the only one in 20 years featuring art.
The article by Sommer, daughter of attorney Keith and Carol Sommer, was among those selected from more than 450 entries from five continents for inclusion in the Harvard publication. It is titled, "The Cream Does Not Always Rise: The Plight of Visual-Spatial Learners and the Power of Art Education."
"It is quite rare that cover images for a Special Issue of HER come from the students of a featured author," according to the HER's editorial board.

THE ARTWORK at right was done by the students of Michele K. Sommer, daughter of attorney Keith and Carol Sommer, Martins Ferry. An article by Sommer is in the Harvard publication, and it is an autobiographical excerpt from her master's thesis at the Bank Street College of Education in Manhattan.
The board informed Sommer that its members "are greatly enthused by the opportunity to publish the reflective writing of a committed educator while highlighting the visual work of her students."
Sommer, who is art department chair at the Rockland Country Day School in Rockland County, N.Y., learned a few days ago that her students' artwork selected for the cover of HER had been chosen independently from the article, and the board was surprised that the same person was associated with the artwork and the article.
The former Ferrian said when she was notified at home about the article's inclusion, "I ran into the next room to find my husband and proceeded to tell him (while jumping up and down) that this was THE best thing that has ever happened to me. Yes, I said that to - my adorable husband. He replied, 'Really, THE best thing?' Anyway, I was very surprised and delighted."
She and her husband, Jonathan Turk, reside in Mahwah, N.J.
That publication is only one of various honors received by the graduate of Bowling Green State University where she majored in French and fine art.
In recent days, she was included in a panel discussion about the "Expanding Our Vision for the Arts in Education" theme, the title of the HER publication.
Sommer said other panelists "included a professor of art and art history, the founding headmaster of Boston Arts Academy and executive director of the Center for Arts in Education at Boston Arts Academy, a professor of education in the Creative Arts in Learning Division at Lesley University, the coordinator of the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Arts in Education Program and renowned poet.
"The other panelists were authors of internationally acclaimed books, leaders in education reform, and several teach graduate courses at Harvard ... and then there was me. Keith and Carol Sommer's kid. Martins Ferry Swim Team High Point Trophy winner - life is magical!"
Sommer explained she was terrified prior to the discussion, and it might have been the scariest thing that she had ever done.
"But some of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my life were a result of a giant leap of faith so I held my breath and jumped in, " she added. "Then I couldn't stop talking, I get so excited about arts education. It was an amazing experience."
Later, she was told that HER officials were excited that Kim Marshall of the Marshall Memo had listed her article with positive comments. That memo keeps educators and others well-informed on current research and best practices in the field.
Marshall checks articles each week from 64 publications and selects five to 10 having the greatest potential to improve teaching, leadership and learning.
Sommer's achievements are especially noteworthy since she was a " hopeless daydreamer" in second grade and received "a terrifying red 'F'" on an arithmetic paper and then buried the evidence of her ineptitude along with her pride under a neighbor's pine tree, according to the HER article.
Even then, she was artistic. Not understanding subtraction, she carefully and artistically had drawn vertical lines through the subtraction symbols, because she understood addition. The teacher, however, wasn't fooled.
Her article noted her lack of confidence in middle school, and the feeling when she received an award for a drawing with a note from art teacher Debbie Kiester. In part, Kiester wrote,"Your incredible artistic talent is a gift to be nurtured and cherished."
Prior to that award, Sommer said she had felt dumb and worthless among her talented classmates. "My art teacher saved my life that day. The ... knowledge that I had a valuable skill that I could share with others ... set me on the path to my bright future."
Sommer said like all teachers, she has a responsibility to make all her students feel capable and valued. She added she often sees another side of a student struggling in academic subjects. Noting her important role in discovering how children learn and perceive themselves and the world around them, she emphasized how art education helps children become excited about learning.
It's not surprising that among Sommer's varied honors is her selection as "teacher of the year" at Rockland.
In recent days, she had breakfast with an editor who gave her a HER press bag filled with books including the original 20-year-old HER edition on the arts.
"I was so touched," said Sommer. "She asked me, 'Did you know you had this in you?' A small voice in me wanted to say 'yes,' but I politely replied, 'no.' I had the time of my life."

HINGHAM – Herbert L. Foss, who was born on Oct. 12, 1871, in Belfast, Maine, enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Jan. 31, 1897, 16 months before the U.S. officially entered the Spanish-American War.
He was assigned as a seaman on the light cruiser USS Marblehead. During the Battle of Cienfuegos on May 11, 1898, Foss and his shipmates, while in rowboats, snagged and cut a communications cable linking two Spanish forts in the port city.
Foss and 51 of his shipmates were awarded the Medal of Honor for "extraordinary bravery and coolness under fire."
The war ended on Dec. 10, 1898.
His post-war search for work brought Foss to Hingham. He worked for a number of years at the ammunition depot before taking a job with the town, and he eventually became superintendent of the Fort Hill Cemetery. He died on Sept. 1, 1937. His was the largest military funeral the town had ever seen.
HINGHAM -- QUINCY – Herbert L. Foss, Medal of Honor recipient from Hingham, is finally going to be honored in a big way.
Thanks to an amendment that state Sen. Robert L. Hedlund, R-Weymouth, added to a recent piece of legislation concerning the Hingham Shipyard, the new commuter boat terminal at the shipyard will bear Foss' name.
"I thought this would be a very worthy action to take," Hedlund said this week.
Hedlund, who grew up on Foley Beach Road and rode his bike in the shipyard as a child, thinks naming the new terminal is a great way to honor Foss, given that the shipyard is a maritime facility and Foss was a Navy seaman.
Foss earned the Medal of Honor in the Spanish-American War. On May 11, 1898, he and other members of the crew of the light cruiser USS Marblehead snared a communications cable off Cienfuegos, Cuba. Under heavy fire and with several of his shipmates killed or wounded, Foss used a hacksaw to finish cutting the cable.
Born in Belfast, Maine, in 1871, Foss settled in Hingham after the war. He died in 1937.
Hedlund said the amendment provides for the state Department of Transportation, the Hingham Veterans Council and the board of selectmen to devise a way to tell Foss' story.
State Rep. Garrett Bradley worked with Hedlund to get the amendment through the Legislature. The measure passed on July 31, the last day of the legislative session.
Bradley said he corresponded with Gov. Deval Patrick concerning Foss because there was no time to go through the normal vetting process. He is pleased about the recognition that Foss will be getting.
"We saw an opportunity to have a structure named after Foss in Hingham," Bradley said. "We felt strongly there needed to be a fitting way to honor him."
James Claypoole, chairman of the Hingham Veterans Council, said the council will help come up with a tasteful way to inform people about Foss – possibly with a bust in the lobby of the commuter boat terminal.
Speaking for the Foss family, Bill Harris said in an email: "I think the naming is a great thing, not only for my family but for the town, state and country. Seaman Foss' exploits off Cuba in 1898 is a great American naval story."
Hedlund thought it was important that the new terminal not be named for a politician.
"We have too much of that (in Massachusetts), and it frankly turns my stomach," he said.

The question is as simple as the title. Some Christians believe we can enter a state without sin. How did Luther and Calvin view that kind of concept?
Sign up

Martin Luther and John Calvin followed the tradition of St. Augustine in abhorring any theoretical belief in a state of sinlessness, whether for a moment, day, year, or whatever.
They seem to have regarded sinless perfection as the vain imagination of human pride and a result of our sinfulness. For example, commenting on Psalms 106:6, Calvin said:
The very words 'sinless state of perfection' even for a moment amount to near blasphemy in the mind of a person who is aware of himself and has a due regard to the nature of sin and its seriousness, according to the reformers.
Luther explains what it means to live by the Spirit not 'sinning' in this way:
In describing what this theoretical state would actually be Luther provides a very reasonable explanation to show this can never happen for a moment on this side of heaven:
Luther quotes St. Augustine in another place to show how uniform his view is to that wise old Christian, in times past:

Native American Life on the Great Plains
5 of 11
Some tribes of the Great Plains, such as the Sioux and Blackfoot, were more warlike than others, and often engaged in battle often. The primary weapon used by Plains Indians was the bow and arrow as pictured above, held by a Sioux male. Men also used guns, clubs, tomahawks, lances, shields, and knives in battle.
Fun Fact: When peace was reached with an enemy, some Native Americans ceremonially buried a tomahawk. The expression, "burying the hatchet," was derived from this custom.

Top 10 Wintertime Neighborhood Games
4 of 11
Capture the Snow Flag
All you need for this game is a piece of white cloth and a wooden spoon.
Tie the cloth to the end of the spoon. Mark off a set area to play your game, and have one person hide the flag by placing it anywhere in the snow within your set area, making sure to press the spoon into the snow so only the white cloth is visible.
Time how long it takes to find the flag each time it is hidden. Whoever is able to hide the flag for the longest time wins.

On Saturday afternoon, Folsom Field was quiet. But high above the empty grass, in the stadium's club level, hundreds of flood-weary families gathered for a meal served by CU-Boulder's student athletes.
Saturday's scheduled football game between CU and Fresno State was postponed because of the floodwaters still inundating the Boulder area. But the cancellation offered an opportunity. With food already prepared to be served on the club level during the game, the athletic department decided to instead serve the food to the families living in CU-Boulder housing who were forced to evacuate over the last several days as well as to campus first responders.
"I'm glad they canceled the game for something as meaningful as this," said senior Paul Vigo, one of the captains of the football team, as he joked with families standing in line. "I wish I could do more."
Vigo was one of about 200 student-athletes who came to the stadium Saturday to serve a bounty of food, from hot dogs, burgers and fries to salad, fruit and cake. The TVs on the club level and the Jumbotrons on either end of the field were all tuned to other college football games, and some evacuees enjoyed a meal outside in the stands watching the Nebraska Cornhuskers play the UCLA Bruins.
"Our football team is here. Lacrosse is here. Men's and women's basketball is here and cross country," said CU-Boulder Athletic Director Rick George. "Every sport is here and a number of coaches."
George said the idea for the event just made sense: They had food they didn't want to go bad, and at the same time, there were people in the community who needed help. When Boulder Creek began to swell during last week's torrential downpours, some of CU-Boulder's family housing units had to be evacuated as the floodwaters rose. In all, about 355 family housing residents, including children, had to be evacuated.
"A lot of people here still don't have hot water and don't have electricity," said George. "This is our way of giving back. This is our way to say our student-athletes care. This is our community, and we want to support it."
For freshman and lacrosse player Sophia Gambitsky, from New York, it was especially meaningful to give back.
"We're here from the East Coast," said Gambitsky who was at the event with fellow freshman lacrosse player Abby Phelan, from Boston. "My town was hit hard by Sandy; so to come here and help these people means a lot."
For Bianca Tamadon—who was evacuated from family housing with her husband, a new postdoctoral researcher in chemistry and biochemistry, and their 4-year-old son—Saturday's lunch was a welcome respite. The flood pushed mud up the stairs of her building, but the debris stopped just short of her apartment door. The Tamadon family arrived last week from Germany, and despite the chaos of the flood, they've felt welcome in their new community.
After being evacuated from their apartment, they spent a night in Kittredge Central residence hall. "It was quite fun for my son; he didn't want to leave," she said. "There were other families there, and these wonderful junior students—when I think of it I start to cry—they came with toys and played with the children."

The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.

Built from the ground up, the .NET Micro Framework is a platform for resource-constrained devices that extends Microsoft's embedded offering to smaller, simpler "sub-CE" devices (i.e. devices using 32 bit processors without an MMU, and with as little as 64K of RAM).
The .NET Micro Framework provides (among other things) a managed execution environment with automatic memory management, a substantial subset of the .NET Base Class Library and a managed driver model – all within an amazingly compact footprint of around a few hundred kilobytes. And its TCP/IP and Web Services for devices functionality make the .NET Micro Framework a great platform for building smart, connected, service-oriented devices!
In this video, Jonathan Kagle (Group Program Manager) and Lorenzo Tessiore (Development Manager) tell us about the work they've been doing on the .NET Micro Framework. Our conversation covers: origins of the .NET Micro Framework, available development kits (00:10:24), devices that are running it (00:13:07), what it looks like to write code for it (00:17:30), and about the upcoming 3.0 release (00:24:50).
Update: The .NET Micro Framework 3.0 Release Candidate 0 is now available.
Oops, something didn't work.
Micro framework is not for real world like you and me, just for MS research development inside MS world, the cost is not important to them. they need to show what they can do, not what is the cheaper ways.
There are many good AVR HW and SW platform out there. like PIC, Ardunio ... etc, many many time better than Micro framework

I'm at 98%, missing the speedrun achievement, and I see percentages from 102% to 112% on the leaderboards. What is the highest non-glitched completion percentage possible, and what adds to the completion percentage over 100%? Easter eggs?
The maximum legitimate percentage has been confirmed by Playdead to be 111. Percentages with 112 and more involves downloading someone else's game save, and no matter the reason, is against Microsoft's TOS.

What are the general rules when encountering a mounted rider (on a horse) on a trail? I understand if we are approaching each other I would dismount, move to the side of the trail and allow them to pass. However if we are traveling in the same direction and I am overtaking them (say going down hill) how would you alert the rider and not startle the horse? I have not yet come upon a rider on my regular trails but I have noticed an increase in road "apples", so I know it is inevitable.I have heard that dismounting is important as the horse may not recognize you as a person due to the unusal movement(from the horses perspective).

Passing a horse, mounted or otherwise, should be done so:
It all depends on the horses' temperament. Some are OK, some like cars but not bicycles...
Competent equestrian owners/staff know that any horse [that will be taken or ridden on roads] needs to be exposed very carefully (for the safety of the horse, the rider, and the general public). They have to accept that the horse may never be comfortable in that setting. But anything could spook the most experienced horse - you never know 100%.
If possible, send a single person ahead to talk to who has control of the horse while watching how the horse reacts.
Officially: Bikes yield to hikers and horses.
Hikers are fine, if you call it out and pass when safe.
Horses can spook easily. Once you see it, stop. Wait for the rider to signal you by. Often I have been simply asked to walk my bike by. Easy. Sometimes it's best to just wait for them to pass.
In your situation, I would get within 10 - 20 yards, and call out the rider, asking if it's okay to pass, or if they mind stopping to wait for you to walk by.
I slow down and address the rider in a conversational, even sing-song, tone "Good morning, rider. There are two bikes behind you. Is it Ok for us to pass?" (They almost always say "yes" and thank me/us for alerting them, but it also gives them the option to ask me to dismount or hold back).
Note that despite your having addressed the rider, the conversation is really for the horse's benefit -- the horse now knows there's something approaching, that the something is a human (watch its ears as you converse), and hears that its rider responds calmly and casually.
Whenever you pass a horse, whether walking the bike or rolling, make sure to stay well clear of the hind end. Horses spook easily and may instinctively kick if something approaches them from behind that they can't see or see very well. I'd suggest staying outside of 4 metres/yards behind, or 2 metres/yards to the side of any strange horse no matter how tame or well-trained it may appear.
No one has mentioned it here, but horse owners and llama-packers and mule riders have ALL commented to me : PLEASE STAY BELOW THE ANIMAL AT ALL TIMES WHEN YIELDING OR OVERTAKING. These animals get more spooked by threats from above, (where the threat looks larger or looks like they can pounce) then from below (where the threat seems much smaller).
There are many horses in the area where I live. I often encounter horses on the trails, and I've had occasion to talk to the riders about proper procedure. Accumulated advice (so far):
If you're passing from behind:
If you're passing head-on:
As a horse owner I can answer this from experience. If approaching the horse from behind it is important to slow down, as you approach the horse shout 'bike' or make some noise - bikes are very quiet and if you suddenly 'appear' in the horses line of vision and it didn't hear you approach you'll spook it. Pass wide and slow.
If approaching from the front, some horses can be spooked if you stand on your pedals which makes the bike rock from side to side, so if pedalling uphill be aware of this! again slow down and observe the horse. if it's head raises and it's eyes are fixed on you be aware it may not like the look of you and be prepared to stop and dismount.
When the horses are being ridden on the road, then I'd overtake them like I would do when driving: with plenty of space, not too much fuss, and slow enough to stop easily.
I had this happen to me a few weeks ago. I was on a downhill going very fast and caught up to two horses faster than I expected. I just slowed down when I was about 100 feet away and the horses heard me coming. They reacted just a little and so they riders looked back and saw me waiting. They both stopped and waved me to pass them.
They both laughed when I went on the very far side of the trail since I didn't want to get kicked. :)
I'm actually looking into getting a bike bell for my MTB for riders and horses.
I think a lot depends on where you are. If you're on a forest trail where cyclists are the exception, then a lot of deference to the horse (and rider) is wise. If you're on a multi-use trail (or the open road) where horses will often encounter cycles (or other vehicles) then you can be relatively confident that the horse will not spook so long as it has fair warning.
In a way, you've got to know the horse.
Take these factors into consideration:
A horse is a fairly typical herd herbivore. It is mainly concerned about large, fast-moving predators. Its main means of defence is running away as fast as possible and hoping the predator gets one of the other horses in the herd instead. Its secondary defence is kicking the **** out of anything that gets in a kickable place.
Like other herd herbivores it sacrifices binocular vision for increasing the width of its visible arc - its eyes are to the side of its head. That means that it can see you coming up from behind quite a long way away, as long as you are not in a fairly narrow arc straight up the dock, but it's not very good at telling how far away you are. In the wild, predators try and approach unseen, so horses are very sensitive to movement on the edges of their peripheral vision, and particular to things that duck in and out of their sight, such as a cyclist weaving from side to side. So try to approach from as wide an angle as possible so that it can see you constantly, and ride smoothly rather than doing anything that looks like shaping to pounce. Talking calmly may help.
The rider is a secondary issue, but if you're nice to them they may appreciate it, even if it can sometimes be hard to tell. They won't appreciate suddenly finding themselves twelve feet up in the air on half a ton of animal doing pirouettes, because it's bloody terrifying, for good reason. Also, they're the ones who will initiate lawsuits.
There's an additional issue that wasn't mentioned that worries horse riders. Occasionally cyclists think it is "neat" when riding two-abreast to pass on BOTH sides of an obstacle, one cyclist going to one side, one to the other. With horses this is a dreadful idea. The horse can deal with "terror to the left" by shying to the right, or vice-versa. But "terror on both sides" results in the horse going UP, which is not going to be a favourable situation for any riders, those of wheel or those of horse.
We have been particularly please when driving carriages through trails in the woods (such as Acadia National Park in Maine, or the Mohonk Preserve in New York) to see cyclists stop and wait, or stop and admire the horses. Similarly we have seen motorcyclists at their annual event in Loudon NH stop and shut off their engines at the sight of our horse carriages.
Forethought and politeness are truly appreciated.
My suggestion would be to stay back of the horse until you see an area up ahead that would allow the rider of the horse to get off of the trail safely. Then you could give the horse rider a friendly shout asking if you could pass them. The horse rider will likely look back and act accordingly to your question. The horse rider knows how their horse will react to someone approaching from behind. The rider will likely get as far off of the trail as necessary according to their horse's demeaner. They don't want to get their horse, theirself or you injured by a spooked horse. Wait until they signal it's okay to proceed around them. Thank them with a wave and proceed.

Chapman's Peak – a photo essay
Chapman's Peak is on the western side of the Cape Peninsula, between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.
Chapman's Peak Drive, between the two suburbs, is one of Cape Town's most scenic roads, twisting and turning high above the rugged coastline.
At the time of its completion in 1922, the road was regarded as a major feat of engineering.

Memory or History?
A day or so ago, while watching Norah O'Donnell interview Bob Schieffer about the assassination of President Kennedy fifty years ago, it dawned on me that she isn't old enough to remember the event herself. (I checked: she was born in 1974.) And that got me thinking about how for everyone under, say, 55 years of age, that moment is a matter of history and not of personal experience. People older than that will be able to say where they were when they heard the news, and how they learned of it, and what it was like to live through it and the events that followed immediately.
I was a seminarian at the North American College, just three weeks away from ordination to the priesthood. We had just finished dinner and were in chapel for some brief prayer, when the Vice-rector came out into the sanctuary and told us that the President had been shot. By the time that we had walked down to the recreation-rooms, the word had arrived that he was dead.
I had played touch football that afternoon and been injured–two bones in my left hand were broken when I was blocked to the ground. I spent the night in our infirmary where there was a radio to listen to. The next day when I had to go into Rome to get my hand x-rayed, several Romans came up to me to express their grief and sympathy for me as an American. Kennedy had visited Rome–and the College–only four months before. (Here's a video clip.I remember being impressed by all the security around JFK...) The Romans would have remembered that visit, and in any case they loved the first Catholic president.
So we elders can remember the awful day very well, and already the programs anticipating the fiftieth anniversary are bringing back memories. But I wonder how the younger people on this blog–the ones who can't remember it–came to know about it, and what their own take on the anniversary events and programs will be.

I always knew frm the time i was very little that everybody always remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news of Kenendy's assassination. That really struck me- that everyone had such vivid memories of the moment they found out, so I knew it must have really shook the country. I don' t think there was another event with that kind of impact until 9/11, then I understood.
Not too long ago, I asked my Mom who is 80 if she still remembered what she was doing when she heard; without hesitation she said she was giving my brother, who was a baby, a bottle in the living room. Then a few years later, when Robert was killed, she said she was giving another sibling a bottle in the living room in the same spot when she heard that news.
Was there a change in the general culture of the country after the assassination? After 9/11, it seemed like we all pretty quickly and immedately- as a people- were willing to give up some civil liberties in the name of nationlal security.
Did our country change after the Kennedy assassination?
Rev. Mr., I mean, Fr. Komonchak, are you shown in the film? The assassination has always just been history for me. It wasn't like Watergate or Roe v. Wade or something else that was going on while I was alive and aware. (I was alive but not news-aware for RFK's assassination.) The uniqueness of the event, for me, is the tremendous amount of energy invested in conspiracy theories. I don't know of anything else that has elicited that particular response for so many people.
I was born in 1961, so I was alive but was too young to be aware that it had happened. I didn't become aware until several years later. Even Bobby Kennedy's assassination barely registered. Without meaning any disrespect to those who do remember President Kennedy's assassination and for whom it was a life-altering or at least momentous occasion,the 50th anniversary doesn't spark much interest for me. I couldn't point to a particular thing that changed as a result. I guess the lesson for our enemies is, if you're going to attack the US, be a nuclear power first.
I don't want to sidetrack an important conversation into a debate about the Bologna School, but just to raise the point, I wonder if the event-character of Vatican II was heightened by the event-character of the Kennedy assassination. I was working with some teenagers a couple of years ago--they would be in their late high school/ early college years now--and I was trying to talk with them about those kind of things that happen that change your perspective forever. They had no reference for that. Imagine being 5 or 6 (or younger) on 9/11, and not really having any idea about it. This is after the Berlin wall came and went, long after the Space Shuttle Challenger. A rather sheltered generation!
I was in the sixth grade when Kennedy was assassinated (Jim P., I'm WAY older than you!). I was mostly aware of the disruption to our family and the neighborhood. I think it was the only time Dad came home from work early. School was canceled, and neighbors were in and out a lot. Neighbors were bringing each other food a lot or eating at our kitchen table or over at someone else's house. It was a lot like having a death in the family.
The conspiracy theories that seem silly now didn't seem so outlandish then; the shooting happened out of the blue in the midst of the Cold War, after the brinksmanship of the Cuban missle crisis, during deep divisions in the nation over civil rights. It's really no wonder that people then felt that it was naive to believe that the assassination could be the random act of a lone nutcase. (Most of our neighbors were working class Catholic Democrats, but I don't remember that anyone floated the idea that the assassination was religiously motivated; I think Kennedy's religion had ceased to be an issue, plus Pope John was so well liked that Catholicism had ceased to be a bugaboo among many Protestants.)
I think the LBJ juggernaut of sweeping social programs, civil rights legislation, and escalation of the war in Vietnam (and the demonstrations and riots) changed the nation much more than the Kennedy assassination itself--but to the extent that Kennedy's death put Johnson in power, I guess the assassination was the catalyst for it all.
I also think the Camelot mythmaking (it kicked into high gear pretty much the day of the assassination) put Johnson's mistakes into high relief with Democrats. The general idea was that Kennedy was a martyr (though to what cause or idea was rather nebulous and mutable) who would never have made the mistakes Johnson did. For a long time, people wanted to think that things would have been better had Kennedy lived.
I feel somewhat weary of the 50th anniversary specials, and I haven't watched any of them. I'm not sure why it's important that we mark this anniversary or what we're supposed to learn from it.
Jean, I must be even older than you, because I was a junior in high school and was, fittingly, in American History class when we heard the news.
I have twin grandsons in the fifth grade, and asked them recently if they have been assigned to interview their older relatives about JFK's assassination; they haven't. Ancient (and irrelevant) history, no doubt.
I was also in 6th grade (and therefore am also much older than Jim P. ;)), but I was home sick that day from school. My Mom, a nurse who had worked the night before, was sleeping when Walter Cronkite came on our black-and-white TV to announce that the President had been shot in Dallas. About a half hour later he stated that the President was dead. There are only one or two other things in my childhood that remain more vivid than the events of that day. I recall an overwhelming feeling that I needed to talk to someone about what had transpired, and I woke my mother even though I knew she had a long shift ahead of her that night. Both of my parents were Kennedy supporters, and my Dad had taken some of the older of the ten kids (I'm the eldest) to see Kennedy during a campaign stop in our area during the 1960 election. Oswald's unexpected murder by Jack Ruby a few days later was shown live on TV, and that added to the conspiracy theories that even by then we're circulating.
Time magazine's cover story this week is titled "The Moment That Changed America": "The victim was one of the most powerful, glamorous, wealthy, charismatic individuals on the planet. This whiplash convergence of extremes--so sudden, so horrific, such enormity--makes the assassination of John F. Kennedy an almost uniquely deranging event. In a matter of seconds the mighty are rendered helpless; the beautiful is made hideous; tranquility is made turbulent; the familiar becomes alien." Time also notes that the barrage of conspiracy theories that followed the presidential assassination, some of which continue to be debated these five decades later, has resulted in a "legacy of that shocking instant" that "is a troubling habit of the modern American mind: suspicion is a reflex now, trust a figment."
I'm not sure I fully agree with Time's historical conclusions about the JFK assassination. Much of the JFK aura, and the Kennedy family mythology in general, dissipated over the intervening decades, but the murders of RFK and Martin Luther King a few short years later almost certainly contributed to the conspiracy mentality that was a significant part of American society in the 1960's.
I think that the Boomers began as a more rebellious group than most, but I also think that the murders of their idols -- Pres. Kennedy, his brother Robet, and Martin Luther King -- confirmed them in their cynicsm about the "over 3o's". Add to those murders the massacre of the young people at Kent State and it's no wonder their attitudes toward "the city on the hill" has not been the same as many of their ancestors. So, yes, the sum of all those tragedies is a changed U. S., a non-optimistic one.
I was in the 7th grade in Catholic school at that time. An eighth grader came to our classroom and announced that "President Kennedy has been shot! Everyone has to come into the church right now so we can pray for him!" I think everybody in the room gasped, and Sister and some of the girls started crying. We all filed into the church (which was attached to the eight-room grade school building and was itself just a simple one-floor building) and the principal, an Adrian Dominican Sister, began leading us in the rosary. About three decades into the prayer, the pastor of the parish burst into the church, strutted up the main aisle, waved his hands and shouted, "Never mind! Never mind! He's dead! He's dead!"
We abruptly stopped saying the rosary. I didn't clearly think it through at the time, but as time went by and I realized I had a strong resistance (for the rest of my life, including to this day) to praying the rosary, I came to understand that, on that unforgettable day, I learned that the Blessed Mother could not save the life of the President of the United States. A CATHOLIC president! It was a lesson that was "heart learned," rather than "head learned."
I was a "paper boy" for the Detroit News, and being a Friday, it was "collection day." I had about 40 customers on my route; about one-third of them did not have the TV or radio on that afternoon, so when I knocked on the door to collect for the paper, I could tell by the look on their faces if they knew "the news." (The photo on the front page of the paper that day was Jackie Kennedy holding a bouquet of roses given to her when she and the president arrive at Love Field in Dallas.) If the customer (mostly women) was cheerful, I quickly broke the news of President Kennedy's death to them. It was the longest collection day I ever had, as I served as a grief counselor to my neighbors and friends.
I was teaching at P.S. 32 in the Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx, not far from Fordham's campus, and remember the upset among the children that day. The news that the President had been shot spread through the school in a very few minutes. And when we learned he was dead, young and old were in shock. Obviously we didn't say the rosary, but we did have an assembly at which the children sang the Navy Hymn in his honor.
The day was also memorable for us Gannons because I had a medical appointment that afternoon and would learn that I was expecting our daughter. The next few days were strange, as we were so happy and yet caught up in the mourning that seemed so universal.
I remember being in the second grade in my classroom at Our Lady Queen of Peace, Staten Island, when it was announced that President Kennedy had been shot and we should pray for him in our classrooms. I remember following the TV coverage about the event. I have a memory of watching Oswald being shot, but I presume it was on the evening news, not live like I remember.
I had graduated from college the previous year, and been married about six weeks. I was home for the day (a Friday) because Nov. 22 is the national holiday in Lebanon, and I worked at the Lebanese delegation to the UN. We were set for a big reception at the UN that evening to celebrate the founding of the modern state in 1922, if memory serves. Naturally, the reception was cancelled, and the food donated to a charity.
The mood was very somber. Not having a TV, I went to a neighbor's apartment and we watched the news all day and for the next few days. Incredibly sad, numbed, shocked, in mourning. That riderless horse and the drums left an indelible memory, as did Jackie and the children. Unforgettable experience.
LBJ came to address the General Assembly shortly thereafter to reassure the world the US would carry on. Sitting there listening to him, all felt grey. The Lebanese delegation was seated right in front of the podium; lots are drawn yearly for the position so Albania not always favored. I had seen JFK in the hallway some months prior and was surprised at how tall he was in person.
Our charge d'affaires had visited the LBJ ranch and wondered at the different personas of JFK and LBJ - the urbane, sophisticated former president vs the big Texan with a drawl on the horizon.
I will ask my children now in their mid-40's plus what impressions they have. Their enthusiastic response to Obama reminded me of my great excitement about Kennedy.
On November 22, 1963, I was a graduate student in Chemistry and a lab assistant in the Friday afternoon lab (not an easy task with college students in the all male university at that time). About 15 minutes before the class one of the students ran in and said: "The president has been shot." The professor overseeing the lab looked at me and said: "Sit down. Can I get you a cup of tea?"
Over the years I have wondered what he was going through the professor's mind, since he was a Cuban exile.
The young man who gave us the news went on to write several books. I think I can get in touch with him via email this Friday to remind him of that day. I bet he remembers it.
On that afternoon, I had just received at the NCWC Foreign Visitors Office a South Vietnamese colonel who was visiting Washington. I recall commiserating with him over the brutal assassination just three weeks earlier of Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu, both killed on All Souls Day with US complicity. I had met Diem some years before and admired what I knew of him. After the colonel left, my secretary came in with tears in her eyes: They shot the President! I listened to her radio for a minute, then got in my car and simply drove aimlessly for an hour, shaken and despondent. Washington at that time was full of eager Kennedistas, several of whom were part of the post-Council Catholic sub-culture that seemed so vibrant then. One of the effects of the assassination was that I broke down my opposition to that worthless novelty, television, and bought our first set. I stood in the crowds at St. Mathew's Cathedral as the cortege passed and can see in my mind today the unusually tall Charles deGaulle and Haile Selassie. Memorable indeed.
Tom: Good to hear from you!
I seem to remember that Mrs. Diem--Madame Nhu--, convinced that President Kennedy had ordered the assassination of her husband and brother-in-law, after hearing of the assassination of Kennedy, remarked, "I hope he had a chance to go to confession before he died."
On November 25th, the Council Fathers were told there would be a solemn Mass for Kennedy at St. John Lateran's to which they were all invited. Nothing similar had been done for the Diem brothers who had been assassinated on November 2nd. To make up for this, Archbishop Pierre Ngo dinh Thuc celebrated a Month's Mind Mass for his murdered brothers at the beginning of the Council session on December 2nd. Madame Nhu was denied permission to attend the Mass. "In a woman," she commented, "the Church always sees Eve instead of Mary."
Fr. Komonchak, Is there evidence that JFK ordered or allowed the assassination of the Diem brothers to take place? I have never heard of denying anyone permission to attend Mass.
I was a freshman in college when I came out of class and saw a group of students gathered around a car. I approached them and asked what was going on. A girl replied "The president's been shot, but he is okay. He is up walking around." I walked nine blocks home and put on the TV. It was obvious after a few moments that everything was not okay. In about ten minutes Walter Cronkite made his announcement. Our housekeeper and I cried softly. My mother did not cry. She never cried when people died unless they were close friends or relatives.
Verity: I do not know what the latest historical judgments are about Kennedy's approval of the assassination of the Diem brothers, but certainly at the time it was believed that it could not have taken place without the approval of the U.S.A. And Madame Nhu certainly was convinced of it.
Here's a story I hadn't heard before http://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2013/11/21/246551876/hear-what-happened-at-bostons-symphony-hall-after-jfks-assassination

This image shows the baby in profile, this time in 3D. The coils of the umbilical cord are just seen in the background passing behind the baby's head. The eyelids can be seen, still firmly closed. Fat reserves are now giving the face a much more rounded contour.
Relative to body size, your baby's adrenal glands are 20 times larger than your own. The adrenal glands are roughly triangular in shape, with their base wrapped over the top of each kidney. They have an outer layer, or cortex, which releases steroid hormones such as cortisol, and an inner layer, or medulla. Adrenaline and the related hormone noradrenaline are secreted from the medulla in response to stress.
Adrenaline prepares the body for a "fight or flight" response, increasing the availability of glucose, speeding up the heart rate, and maintaining or raising blood pressure. These are vital adaptive responses for your baby that will help to maintain a stable environment within the uterus and prepare her for the stresses of life later on in the outside world.
It is the outer cortex, however, that needs to work hard, producing many hormones that help to coordinate your baby's growth and development. The cortex produces three types of hormones: mineralocorticoids that regulate salt balance; glucocorticoids that help to control the availability of sugars, fat, and amino acids in the bloodstream; and androgens, male-type sex hormones, such as testosterone. It is the cortex that accounts for the large size of your baby's adrenal glands. After birth, in the first couple of weeks, the adrenal glands rapidly reduce in size.
Breast lumps can be normal in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester as the breasts get ready for breast-feeding. These lumps are generally soft and may move around; they may also be tender. However, breast lumps should never be ignored, so always see your doctor who will be able to confirm that they are pregnancy related.
Twins from the same egg have the same DNA. In a way, they're natural clones, so you might expect them to be identical in every way. They will certainly look very alike, and have the same hair color, eye color, and skin color. They will also have the same blood group and tissue type.
However, the environment isn't the same for each baby, even pre-birth. Small differences in blood flow, and in location in the uterus, can have far-reaching effects.

Let $p,q \in (1,\infty)$ with $p\neq q$. Are the Banach spaces $L^p(\mathbb{R})$, $L^q(\mathbb{R})$ isomorphic?
The proof Fabian alludes to in the book reference Mark gave is a modern one using the notions of cotype and type. One way to prove that a Banach space $X$ is not isomorphic to a Banach space $Y$ is to exhibit a property which is preserved under isomorphisms that $X$ has but $Y$ does not. Type and cotype are examples of such properties. The (best) type and cotype of $L_p$ are calculated in many books. I suggest you look at Theorem 6.2.14 in the book of Albiac and Kalton. From the statement you see that if $p\not=q$, then $L_p$ and $L_q$ either have different (best) type or different (best) cotype.
Type and cotype depend only on the collection of finite dimensional subspaces of a space (we call such a property a local property). So you cannot use either to prove, e.g., that $L_p$ is not isomorphic to $\ell_p$ when $p\not= 2$. One way of proving this is to show that $\ell_2$ embeds isomorphically into $L_p$ but not into $\ell_p$ when $p\not=2$. These facts you can also find in Albiac-Kalton. You can also use infinite dimensional techniques to prove that $L_p$ and $L_q$ are not isomorphic when $p\not=q$. Banach knew this result through infinite dimensional considerations--the concepts of type and cotype came on the scene only 40 years ago.
You will also find in Albiac-Kalton a discussion of when $L_p$ or $\ell_p$ embeds isomorphically into $L_q$. That is more complicated and in fact Banach did not know everything. He called the question the problem of the linear dimension of $L_p$ spaces, IIRC.

If all planned projects [in China] go ahead while demand growth slows as much as forecast, China could emerge, at least for a while, as a new powerhouse in product exports, helped by its companies' growing footprint abroad in international refining, storage, terminal and logistics, the IEA said.
By KONSTANTIN ROZHNOV
China, the world's second-largest oil consumer, could become
a new oil product exports powerhouse if all planned projects of refining capacity expansion in the
country go ahead, the International Energy Agency said
The Paris-based energy watchdog said in its medium-term oil
market report that it is capacity expansions, rather than declining
demand, that fuel increase in product exports in Asia and the
Middle East, with China, India and Saudi Arabia leading the
"If all planned projects [in China] go ahead while
demand growth slows as much as we forecast, China could emerge,
at least for a while, as a new powerhouse in product exports,
helped by its companies' growing footprint abroad in
international refining, storage, terminal and
logistics," the IEA said.
Global refinery crude distillation, or CDU, capacity is
likely to increase by almost 7 million bpd over the next five
years, outpacing oil demand growth.
Contraction in capacity in developed economies will only partly
offset capacity expansions in developing Asian
economies, led by China, and the Middle East.
As a result of global capacity increase, refinery utilisation is expected to
fall to 79% on average in 2017 from 83% in 2006-2008, according
to the IEA.
"To return to 2006-2008 utilisation rates, an extra 4.4
million barrels a day of CDU capacity would have to be shut or
completion deferred compared to currently announced plans," the
watchdog said.
The IEA sees developed economies, and especially Europe, as the main losers in the expansion of global refining capacity.
"Continued OECD demand contraction will call for additional
industry consolidation before 2017," the IEA said, referring to
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Sir, With more reserves discovered especoially shale oil as pointed out by Exxon/ oil sands ,deposits ranging from Canada to N.Dakota., Shell's activity in China. All these show that there is no dearth of oil for a century and half. World demand in developed countries (USA) is decreasing. Peak oil theory is completely out of question Then why the price of oil is going up?

I always use in my letter "Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration." But one of my colleagues said thanking you was not correct usage of English, it should be thank you. So my question is: can I use thanking you or should I use thank you?

I think your colleague wasn't really correcting the grammatical accuracy of your Complimentary Close (I'm assuming it's the Complimentary Close of your e-mails because otherwise it would be a bigger problem.)
Using Participial Phrases (V+ing) in the Complimentary Close lessens the total impact of the business letter:
It's considered better style to end with a clear-cut idea:
The preference for Participial Phrases came about because a letter was once considered less stiff if it ended with less emphasis and diverted from the actual subject.
Short answer: Both are correct.
Long Answer:
"Thanking" is the present participle of thank,
So by using "thanking you", the author indicates that they are unsure of the exact moments at which the gratitude is offered (because they don't know when the reader has given up their "time and consideration"), but the gratitude is continuous. I would consider this more formal
"Thank" is the present simple. This would indicate "I thank you right now for anything you might do for me."
The participle form is more often used as a closing remark, thus:
indicating that you are anticipating some service from the adressee, while the straightforward present form would be used at the beginning (or anywhere else in the body of the letter) in the case where you are expressing thanks for a service that has already been rendered.
The present participle is generally used to indicate an ongoing activity. The present tense generally indicates a more discrete action.
"[I am] thanking you in advance . . ." suggests that the appreciative activity is beginning now and will continue until the sought for benefit is received (and perhaps long thereafter). It seems quite appropriate in that context.
If the benefit has already been received, or is a short or very discrete action (such as reading a brief missive that conveys the thanks), the terser "thank you" seems apropos.
'Thanking you' as a complimentary closing in a letter or mail seems a little awkward, because it has no subject and no main verb; it is a phrase, not a sentence. A 'Thank you' is complete and is definitely better than a , 'Thanking you'.
