Butterflies of North Americaby Jeffrey Glassberg
View All Available Formats & Editions
Increasingly viewed as a precious wildlife resource
Among the most beautiful creatures in nature, butterflies are colorful, delicate, and, like people, tend to prefer warm weather. Enter the magical world of butterflies with Dr. Jeffrey Glassberg, president of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) and pioneer of the new frontier of butterfly watching.
Increasingly viewed as a precious wildlife resource to be conserved-rather than preserved under glass-butterflies are more and more being studied in their natural habitats. Instead of carrying nets, butterfly hunters now travel with the new breed of close-range binoculars and cameras in hand when they search for specimens. And as more information has become readily available about the food plants butterflies favor, many people are creating gardens specifically designed to attract butterflies.
In a unique format designed for both beginning and advanced lepidopterists, and highlighted with magnificent color photographs of hundreds of these lovely creatures-including numerous oversized photographs for easy identificationButterflies of North America is a handy guide to identifying nearly every species of North American butterfly. The introduction includes vital information about butterfly behavior and biology, close-range binoculars and cameras, and the benefits of butterfly conservation. The main body of the book, the Species Guide, contains fascinating details about thousands of butterflies, including such distinguishing features as forewing length, what they eat, their range, and unique behavioral characteristics.
With more than 250 gorgeous full-color photographs and definitive information about thousands of different butterflies, Dr. Glassberg's Butterflies of North America is an essential and easy-to-use resource for all butterfly lovers.
Dr. Jeffrey Glassberg is president of the North American Butterfly Association and editor of American Butterflies magazine. Though his heart belongs to (and most of his books are about) butterflies, Glassberg is also the author and editor of numerous best-selling books about nature-watching in general. He regularly travels around the world to observe and photograph butterflies, but he lives in and writes from his home in New Jersey.

The use of Taylor series to test accuracy of function programs
Taylor series
In mathematics, a Taylor series is a representation of a function as an infinite sum of terms that are calculated from the values of the function's derivatives at a single point. The concept of a Taylor series was formally introduced by the English mathematician Brook Taylor in 1715.

Dawson function
In mathematics, the Dawson function is The notation D(x) is also in use. The Dawson function is also called the Dawson integral. A variation of this function is given by The Dawson function is closely related to the error function erf, as where erfi is the imaginary error function, {{{1}}} For |x| near zero, F(x) ¿ x, and for |x| large, F(x) ¿ 1/(2x). More specifically, near the origin it has the series expansion F(x) satisfies the differential equation with the initial condition F(0) = 0.

Special functions
Special functions are particular mathematical functions which have more or less established names and notations due to their importance in mathematical analysis, functional analysis, physics, or other applications. There is no general formal definition, but the list of mathematical functions contains functions which are commonly accepted as special. In particular, elementary functions are also considered as special functions.

Error function
In mathematics, the error function (also called the Gauss error function) is a special function of sigmoid shape which occurs in probability, statistics and partial differential equations. It is defined as: (When x is negative, the integral is interpreted as the negative of the integral from x to zero.

Bessel function
In mathematics, Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation: for an arbitrary real or complex number ¿ (the order of the Bessel function); the most common and important cases are for ¿ an integer or half-integer. Although ¿ and ¿¿ produce the same differential equation, it is conventional to define different Bessel functions for these two orders (e.g.

Integration is an important concept in mathematics and, together with its inverse, differentiation, is one of the two main operations in calculus. Given a function f of a real variable x and an interval [a, b] of the real line, the definite integral is defined informally to be the area of the region in the xy-plane bounded by the graph of f, the x-axis, and the vertical lines x = a and x = b, such that areas above the axis add to the total, and the area below the x axis subtract from the total.

OK, this is getting old.
I updated the WP-o-Matic plugin to the latest release candidate. It **was** working though I was getting a lot of duplicate posts. It was so bad, I did not let anything hit the blog without being "approved" first.
I followed the upgrade directions. I deactivated and removed the plugin, removed the tables from the database, reinstalled and started fresh. I had to enter all my campaigns and feeds again, but I assumed updating was a good thing. I figured it would be worth it.
Now, with RC2, all I get are duplicates. It's choking on the same half a dozen posts. I get them over and over. I just deleter 109 entries, all duplicates.
And the author's support on the site is not so good. My posts to his comment area have not been approved, much less answered. So I come here.
I had FeedWordPress and had similar issues, but now this is totally unusable for me. The site I am building is dependent on the RSS feeds for 80% or more of the content. It's so bad, I am considering returning to FeedWordPress. I also was looking for other solutions. On a test blog, SmartRSS never worked, and I can't seem to locate WP Autoblog (A Syndication Plugin by Elliott C. Back). From Elliott's blog, he has removed his plugin from the WP world because it has potential for abuse by spam blogs (splogs?).
There are some that would claim I am "abusing" RSS feeds in the same manner, but I am not passing this stuff off as my own content, every post is clearly attributed back to the original site. But that's not the issue here...
So my question is two-fold.
1) What is the best auto-blogging and RSS importing plugin out there? What works best?
2) How can I fix WP-o-Matic and make it usable?
I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

It wasn't quite in the blink of an eye but fortune turned for the Collins High School football team quickly Friday and badly in a 35-14 road loss to Spencer County.
The Titans saw Spencer County score three times in 87 seconds with just over six minutes left in the game to break open what had been a defensive struggle on a rainy night.
In a game that had a little bit of everything and plenty of drama the Shelby County Rockets suffered their first loss of the year, 31-28, to Franklin County Friday in the district opener for both teams.
The Herring Gull is 25 inches long with a wingspan that is 58 inches wide and weighs 2.5 pounds and is a fairly common winter resident around the Falls of the Ohio in Jefferson County, as well as the lake region of western Kentucky.
I also saw one that was in a rather large flock of migrating Ring-billed Gulls in Shelby County in March of 2014.
They generally appear in our commonwealth by early October and are gone by mid-May.
The Pectoral Sandpiper is common in Kentucky during migration and occasionally lingers into early winter but is extremely rare in mid-winter and summer.
However, they occur most often west of the Cumberland Plateau and sometimes pass through as early as March 4 and as late as Dec. 30. They are one of many shorebirds that migrate from the Arctic to the Antarctic and then back again.
There could be a lot of question answered for the Collins High School football team Friday after they face Boyle County.
Boyle County, ranked No. 1 in 3A is 4-0 this season and expected to challenge for another state title again this year.
Shelby County's Madison Thomas wasted no time making a name for herself with the University of Memphis women's golf team.
In her first collegiate tournament, Thomas topped senior teammate Ashleigh Whisenan in a playoff for individual medalist honors, leading 5 Tigers in the top 10 of a tournament at Ridgeway Country Club.
Playing the No. 9 hole in the playoff, Thomas' putt circled the cup and fell in to edge Whisenant for tournament medalist honors.
Shelby County could see the 0-4 Bullitt East team or the team that was picked ninth in the preseason 5A poll this Friday when they host the Chargers in their homecoming game.
That the normally powerful Chargers have opened the year winless has been a shock to most but it also comes with some understanding.
"They have been kind of dinged up all year, I don't think they have ever had their full team," Shelby County coach Todd Shipley said. "Plus they have played great competition."
There may be something about the home court and a bit of drama for the Shelby County High School volleyball team
In just its second home game, the Rockets went a full five games to pull out a win after dropping the first two matches to their foe. Shelby County came back from the 0-2 deficit Tuesday to beat Western Hills by winning the final three games.
It's been a one step at a time season for the Collins girls' soccer team and the girls took a big step toward one of their goals Wednesday with a 2-0 district seeding win over Shelby County.
"Collins has never won a post-season game in girls' soccer and if we can beat Spencer County now we will not be facing the No. 1 seed in the district tournament for the first time," Collins coach Tim Oltman said. "One of our goals coming into this season was to win a district game before the tournament. This is a big win for us."
As the post-season draws near the Shelby County and Collins girls' golf teams are looking to set themselves up for a run.
Shelby County beat Collins 168-195 Monday as both teams got a chance to play the back nine at Weissinger Hills Golf Course, the site of their regional tourney.
"The girls were ecstatic last night with their score because they don't see much of the back nine during match play," Shelby County coach Melissa Young said.

Although demonstrators have been sparking police action by throwing rocks and bottles, blocking major interstates, and disrupting everyday life in cities across the country, the lefty media narrative last week was all about the "peaceful" protesters and the evil cops that kept arresting them. Now, three Baton Rouge police officers have been killed.
CBS Morning News
As of Tuesday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the Monday afternoon stabbings at a Canadian military recruitment center in Toronto. During the attack, the suspect, Ayanle Hassan Ali, shouted, "Allah told me to do this, Allah told me to come here and kill people." According to an AP report on Tuesday, Ali first targeted a "uniformed Canadian Forces member at the front desk before slashing him on the right upper arm. He said the suspect then attempted to slash a female member of the Forces before he was subdued."
The latest illegal immigrant to allegedly murder innocent Americans was apprehended early Wednesday morning in Missouri and despite Mexican national Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino having a checkered criminal record, CBS and NBC found as little reason as possible to inform their viewers of this horrendous crime.
On the same day that the CBS President admitted that Donald Trump's "circus" is "damn good for the network," reporter Major Garrett blamed Marco Rubio for "obscuring" the debate on the businessman. All three networks on Monday slammed the Republican primary as "ugly," "strange" and hitting "new lows."
Political scandals make for juicy journalism, but apparently a politician being cleared of wrong doing isn't even worth a mention. When the initial story of Rick Perry's indictment broke in August 2014, ABC, CBS and NBC devoted 25 minutes in just two days to topic, speculating that the controversy could "end any chance" for Perry in 2016. But when Perry was cleared of any wrongdoing, all three networks were silent, on both the evening news shows that night and the morning news shows the following day.
In report that didn't make the cut for Thursday's CBS This Morning amidst the San Bernardino shooting coverage, the CBS Morning News aired congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes's latest attempt to push gun control and lament how Congress is "reluctant to pass new control laws" with friendly soundbites from Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Hillary Clinton.
Many historians call the Armenian Holocaust the first holocaust of the 20th Century, a dress rehearsal for the Nazi nightmare that followed. This April 24 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of roughly 1.5 million Armenian Christians at the hands of Turkish Muslims. That mass slaughter has gone virtually unreported by the broadcast networks.
It was the best of coverage - it was the worst of coverage.
On Saturday and Sunday, the "big three" (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks vigorously condemned a new Indiana law that would protect private businesses from government infringement on their religious freedom. Rather than provide balanced coverage of the Indiana bill, the networks eagerly trashed the legislation as opening "the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians."
On Monday, March 9 and Tuesday, March 10, the "big three" (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks pounced on a letter signed by 47 Republican senators to the leaders of Iran regarding its negotiations with the Obama administration over its nuclear program.
On Monday, a liberal blogger revealed that Congressman Steve Scalise (R-La.) spoke at a conference hosted by white supremacists in 2002 and the "big three" (ABC, CBS, and NBC) networks eagerly jumped on the story. Starting with Tuesday's morning news shows, the "big three" have given 13 minutes and 7 seconds to Scalise's 2002 speech with each network doing its best to push how it could hurt Republican efforts at reaching out to minority voters.
The major broadcast networks continued their month-long plus streak of not covering the IRS scandal on Friday night and Saturday morning as ABC, CBS, and NBC all omitted from their evening and morning newscasts two major developments. The new details on the scandal involving the agency that targeted conservative groups include the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informing congressional staffers that a possible 760 IRS computer servers exist that could contain lost e-mails from Lois Lerner.

An Alaskan Paradise Regained
Published: August 9, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
SEA otters, frisky and bewhiskered, constantly fluffing up their thick fur to stay warm, became symbols of what oil could do to a pristine body of water and its inhabitants. And otters are likely to be one of the main draws at the sea life center. Once they were nearly extinct, hunted by Russians and the Aleut natives they enslaved.
They have made a strong comeback, though their numbers are down considerably since the spill. From the outdoor deck of the center, you can usually see otters floating on their backs in the bay below, grooming, and consuming large quantities of shellfish. If you linger long enough outside, you may also see Dall's porpoises or even humpback whales, both of which cruise the deep waters of the bay looking for prey.
Inside, down below, are the main attractions: several large, glass-walled tanks with sea lions, harbor seals and a variety of birds. These are creatures that, for the most part, have already grown used to life around humans, and after being cared for are unable to return to the wild. They live in rookeries designed to be like their natural habitats or in dark, deep-water hollows. The harbor seals, sleek-looking with tiny ears, are quite playful, and move like torpedoes through the water. A good-sized octopus, a wolf eel and king crabs occupy other tanks.
But the most fascinating, perhaps, are the seabirds. They use their wings like the collapsing sides of the Batmobile; divebombing from the air, they convert the wings to paddling purpose to swim deep in search of shellfish.
In the evening I took a cruise in search of sea life beyond Resurrection Bay. Most Seward-based tour boats head southwest, for up-close views of glaciers breaking apart in Kenai Fjords National Park. We went the other way, on a double-tiered tour boat holding about 60 people, to Prince William Sound. At Fox Island we stopped for a salmon bake, cooked in native style over alder wood, inside a lodge on an island with no electricity. Fox Island is a favorite place for kayakers who want to overnight at one of the small cabins.
Then it was out beyond Cape Resurrection to islands packed with birds and animals. It was the time of year when Steller sea lions haul out on rocks for a mating ritual that makes 19th-century Mormon patriarchs seem celibate by comparison. The bulls, some weighing up to a ton, with manes that make them look like lions, will herd about 10 females on a rock, then keep them there for days, mounting them at will. They also guard them from other males. We passed several rocks jutting from the sea, each a place of fierce and polygamous lovemaking. Elsewhere the young bachelors, as they are called, have their own rock hangouts, where they lounge and dream of growing old and promiscuous.
Steller sea lions are disappearing, though, and their status is so uncertain that the Government has taken steps to place them under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. Research at the sea life center in Seward could prove to be the difference in whether mating displays like the one I saw will continue to be part of this cold, green section of the world.
The seabird rookeries were equally energetic. Puffins with rainbow-colored beaks dove between thousands of black-legged kittiwakes, murres, auklets and cormorants. A single rock island was packed so tight with birds it was like Yankee Stadium in the midst of pennant fever -- minus the boo birds, of course. An eagle attacking a kittiwake nest was quite entertaining, as the smaller birds massed and squawked in an effort to distract the silver-headed raptor.
Away from the birds, the recent geology of the area provided other diversions. The 1964 earthquake, a 9.2 on the Richter scale, was the largest ever recorded in North America. It remade Alaska, destroying several small towns in the process. Around Seward, parts of the coastline slipped into the sea. The land dropped about six feet on average in the islands off Seward. Bluffs became beaches and beaches became ocean floors. What you see now in parts of the sound and around the Kenai Peninsula are ghost forests, the gray trees that were plunged down so deep that their roots reached salt water. Thus they are frozen, perfectly preserved, like Lot's wife. The ghost forests, with their new flat beaches, are wonderful places for kayakers to camp.
On the return to Seward, the high, glacier-bound peaks held the sun until nearly midnight. The deep crevasses and walls of ice, usually blue in midday, took on the pink blush of Alaskan summer sunsets. I saw black bears rambling through meadows, eagles everywhere, even a snow-white goat perched a high cliff. We were followed into port by a pair of sea otters and by fishermen exhausted by a day of reeling in halibut. They were not crying.
Navigating the town and the water around
Seward is reached by a well-maintained highway from Anchorage, called simply the Seward Highway, or by train operated by the state-

Where to Stay
The Breeze Inn, (907) 224-5237, is in the heart of Seward's small boat harbor, walking distance from all the charters and fishing boats, though not particularly fancy. A double room is $129.71, including 9 percent tax.
A new hotel, just opened this year on a bluff above town, is the Harborview Inn, (907) 224-3217. Doubles are $118.21, including tax.
Where to Eat
A popular restaurant for seafood, with a good view of the harbor and surrounding mountains, is Ray's Waterfront, (907) 224-5606, with a variety of halibut dishes, and salmon, oysters, and Alaskan king crab as well. Dinner for two, with wine, averages $70. Closed between October and March.
For fish and chips ($6.95), as well as smoked salmon ($11.99 to $13.99) to take home, Smoke'n Alaska Seafoods is four miles out of Seward on the main highway, at (907) 224-5180.

Intrigued by the headlines declaring Star Wars record-breaking figures (more than $1 billion and counting worldwide), I took myself off to see the film at my local cinema. I wish I hadn't bothered and saved myself ten pounds. What's more, I now have no intention of seeing any more instalments in the franchise, nor will I pay to see another movie by director JJ Abrams after this.
With the imminent arrival of the new Star Wars Episode VII: Force Awakens in December and confirmation that Star Trek Beyond filming has just finished, the 30 year old debate 'which is better Star Trek or Star Wars?' has yet again been reignited. Being a Trekkie myself I thought it only appropriate that I share my reasons as to why Star Trek is indeed better!
While any number of fictional films and novels are set after the collapse of civilization, very few go beyond the immediate twenty-eight days later, as it were, to imagine the far greater task of rebuilding that will face the survivors once they've finished racing around the desert in punked-up battle cars or shot-gunned the last walking dead to a standstill.
The geek shall inherit the Earth, but for now we just dominate popular entertainment. In a world where properties in traditionally "geek" genres have become the heart of billion-dollar franchises, spanning multiple interconnecting mediums and calling back to decades-old source material, it can be hard for new fans to catch up...

About Hudson Mohawke
Hudson Mohawke (real name Ross Birchard), also known as Hudson Mo or Hud Mo, is a highly touted hip-hop-oriented IDM producer/DJ from Glasgow, Scotland, affiliated with the LuckyMe collective and, more notably, Kanye West. He was signed to the long-running U.K. independent Warp label despite a very limited track record of official releases; in fact, when he signed, the bulk of his releases were unofficial tracks and DJ mixes circulated on the Internet.
Mohawke's first official release to get major notice was "Free Mo," a track on the Ubiquity Records various-artists compilation Choices, Vol. 1 (2007); subsequently, he was featured as a remixer on Choices, Vol. 2 (2007). In 2008, his 12" EP Ooops! on LuckyMe/Wireblock became an underground sensation, particularly once word spread of his recording contract with Warp, one of the most renowned IDM labels in the world. In addition to his solo work, Hudson Mohawke collaborated with Mike Slott as Heralds of Change, releasing a series of 12" EPs (Show You, 2006; Sittin' on the Side, 2007; Puzzles, 2007; Secrets, 2007) on All City Records. His first release for Warp, the Polyfolk Dance EP, surfaced in early 2009, while the full-length Butter -- featuring vocal appearances from Dâm-Funk and Olivier Daysoul -- was out that October. The five-track EP Satin Panthers followed in 2011.
Meanwhile, the producer's stock continued to rise. He teamed up with Lunice as TNGHT, and an association with Kanye West fostered input on two tracks released on the Cruel Summer compilation (including the hit "Mercy"), as well as a pair of co-productions on West's own Yeezus ("I Am a God," "Blood on the Leaves"). Additionally, Lil Wayne, Drake, and Pusha T sought him to contribute to their 2013 albums. The four-track EP Chimes, Mohawke's first official release since 2011, arrived on Warp the next year. Lantern, the second Mohawke album, came out in 2015 with diverse guest vocals from Jhené Aiko, Miguel, and Antony Hegarty, among others. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Are you having trouble comparing and choosing the right ski resort for your ski holidays?
Here are some more pics from May's HBC Fest, this time I'm keeping all things musical this time and focusing purely on the live acts. I have a few more pictures of the crowd's antics to post but I'm going to give the people who make the Fest worth going to some credit – in fairness it wouldn't be much of a music festival without much music, right?
These photos are going to start from the beginning, around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I didn't get to see everyone, but everyone I did see did get a photo included. I decided to go with a slideshow this time.
By-the-by, let me know what you think of how this was presented – did the slideshow work? I have other options for displaying photos that I'm currently exploring. I want to avoid the big long post of photos I've been doing in the past.

A county commissioner in Brunswick County is working diligently to have Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" from being used in some English classes at West Brunswick High School.
The commissioner Pat Sykes says that the topics covered in the book, including violence against women, racism and harsh language are inappropriate for the students, according to The News & Observer.
Earlier, school officials rejected requests to remove the book. Brunswick County Schools Superintendent Edward Pruden has also rejected Sykes' appeal. Pruden's decision can be appealed and the school board will consider the challenge Jan. 3.
The book is on 11th-grade advanced placement English reading lists.

Secret Beyond the Door
1947 Directed by Fritz Lang
Fritz Lang's psycho thriller tells the story of a woman who marries a stranger with a deadly hobby and through their love he attempts to fight off his obsessive-compulsive actions.

This exudes that weird sense of solipsism that noirs often do - a by-product of the single perspective narrative. Secret Behind the Door is a film full of odd twists that are relayed through an equally confused Joan Bennett's stream of consciousness narration. Her thoughts rattle through all her worries whilst her body sifts around in the darkness of every room she enters, indeed, human psychology is expressed through spatial patterns, rooms, corridors, objects, all amounting to secrets; it reminds me of the non-space Overlook Hotel with its impossible mapping and seemingly endless halls. The last half an hour consists of so many moments that could've been denouements it starts to become very disconcerting, we have no idea what actually is going to happen at the end since Lang's passing by all the endings we expected. A rather great psychological noir, to say the least. Murky.
This could have been a 5 star movie and it starts out so very well but the storyline unfortunately is too silly to sustain any real credibility. This is such a pity as there are some really great moments, the atmosphere is unsettling and the acting is terrific.

Fritz Lang's moodily ominous Secret Beyond the Door... tells the tale of recently married good time girl Celia (Joan Bennett) and her suspicions regarding her strangely behaving new husband Mark Lamphere (Michael Redgrave).
Despite the ever present 'I Married a Murderer / Monster / Gangster / Dead Man / Swinger / Alien' tabloid narration, Lang conjures up an exquisitely noirish atmosphere of unease, as Mark's initially 'off' behaviour slowly escalates into something potentially dangerous. Everything including what would presumably be a happy occasion such as a honeymoon or wedding is (sometimes literally!) overshadowed by the unnameable threat.
When you also throw in the unsettling Lamphere family home, a…
Fritz Lang flexes his expressionist muscles in this splendidly atmospheric Freudian thriller. Michael Redgrave's character is an architect, which allows Lang to indulge his flair for interior space — archways, corridors and rooms. Stanley Cortez's cinematography is simpatico, painting the screen in breathtaking shadows. This is one of Lang's visually deepest films. The script seems scented with hints of Rebecca, Suspicion and Spellbound. But it has its own dream-like quality. With Joan Bennet's whispered voice-over narration, the whole story might be Celia's dream of a dangerous, exciting lover, the kind of man she can't find within the New York martini crowd. The performances are putty moulded by Lang into the melodramatic, but Bennett brings a wistful, resigned air to her…
After one terrible movie I'm thankful that I decided to watch this, a very good thriller and good acting, Joan was excellent!
Secret Beyond the Door is the 2nd film I've seen this week that plays fast-and-loose with Rebecca's famous tropes. Unlike the spooky and bloody romance of del Toro's Crimson Peak, Lang's vision of Hitchcock's classic is more dreamlike with a darkness simmering underneath the surface.
The film works best as a mystery, when Bennett's Celia is unraveling the secrets hidden deep within Redgrave's Mark. Why does Mark have rooms that have recreated famous murders? Which is super creepy btw! To my surprise the film has a lot of neat horror beats - a jangly score, a classic scene in the fog, storms at high intensity moments, lights flickering, doors rattling - Lang went all out to create a tense and unnerving thriller. Despite being overlong and a little on the nose, it is consistently entertaining and gripping. I truly had a lot of fun watching this.

Fritz Lang's third film starring Joan Bennett and the second produced by her husband, Walter Wagner, for the independent Diana Production Company, run by Lang, Wagner and Bennett. It is by far the lesser of the three films, but it has its fascinations for anyone who likes Lang's work or has an interest in film noir and 1940s Hollywood thrillers and melodrama. While The Woman In the Window and Scarlet Street, with their male heroes overwhelmed and corrupted by their desire for a dangerous woman, were classic 1940s film noir, Secret Beyond the Door inverts this, the woman endangering herself by her love or desire for a mysterious man. This female centred film noir, or Women In Peril film, goes…
Sometimes you can't please the public no matter what you do - but then again, making something that is so directly a psychological twisty-turny melodramatic thriller (with direct shades of Rebecca as it's about a man bringing home a new wife and the, uh, complications that arise in the general comparison sense) will confront people. But apparently this was a debacle when it came out, or at least that's how it's purported in history: an over-budget, over-scheduled shoot where producer-director Fritz Lang clashed with star Joan Bennett, who later used the Heaven's Gate critique - "an unqualified disaster".
That's rather harsh for a movie that is simply trying to entertain with the tools of the film-noir mood enhancer. That almost…
Delirious noir melodrama about a man who recreates rooms in which famous murders occurred is the the fitting end to the Fritz Lang-Joan Bennett-Walter Wanger team that made the great WOMAN IN THE WINDOW and SCARLET STREET. At once the ne plus ultra of '40s who-is-my-husband? movies (GASLIGHT, SUSPICION) and a precursor to the morbid horror-thrillers that rose to prominence in the 1970s (think PRIVATE PARTS or ALICE, SWEET, ALICE).

Na Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse maakte Fritz Lang tussen 1936 en 1953 tweeëntwintig films in Hollywood. Bekende titels zijn Fury (1936), You Only Live Once (1936) en Anti nazi Hangman Also Die! (1942).
Secret Beyond the Door is een psychologische thriller in de traditie van Hitchcock, net zoals het eerdere Woman in the Window (1944). Lang wilde zijn eigen Rebecca maken en dat ging niet gemakkelijk. De productie liep constant vertraging op en Lang lag steeds overhoop met Joan Bennet, zijn hoofdrolspeelster. De Blauwbaard legende is de basis van het verhaal. De kijker wordt steeds verder het mysterie ingetrokken. Is de mysterieuze nieuwe echtgenoot van Bennet een krankzinnige moordenaar of juist een onschuldige excentriekeling.
Ik heb me wel vermaakt met deze film. Vooral de aanzwellende muziek, het spel met de schaduwen en het mooi uitgewerkte eindspel, maken de film voor mij een prima voldoende op de MovieYell-meter.

The last of the 4 Joan Bennett / Fritz Lang films. It's a dark phsychological atmospheric, noir-meets-expressionism aesthetic kind of film.
This film was interesting for me as the first time I've really come across Fritz Lang utilising Voice over which is a device I'm quite fond of. You're never quite sure if it's a survivor telling the story, or if it's some otherworldly narrator from beyond the grave.
The story in itself is reasonably interesting, a man obsessed with rooms and murder, we get clues along the way that lead to the climactic 'psychoanalysis scene' which by today's standards would probably come of a bit trite. But it's kind of interesting piecing it together along the way.
Visually this…
A change in perspective has never been more powerful, Bennett's inner monologue filled with chilled erotic attraction supplanted with proto-Norman Bates delusions from Redgrave. She's an extremely interesting character, complemented well with VO and extolling the virtues of post war women. He's an interesting mystery to follow through the film, especially from her perspective but while I enjoyed the twisting of the end, it had dipped since the mystery began. Very 'Hitchcockian' in some regards.

SAFEICE - cutting a path through icy waters
Despite dangerous conditions, more and more ships are making their ways through ice-covered Arctic waters. With increasing traffic raising the risk of accidents in this severe environment the new EU-backed SAFEICE project has embarked on a quest to make navigating the ice safer and more economical.
International trade and the transportation of oil are making Europe's northern waterways – many of them narrow and iced over in winter – increasingly hectic hives of activity. At the same time, the Arctic represents an extremely fragile environment, making the prospect of maritime accidents potentially devastating to local ecosystems and hugely expensive to clean up.
The EU-backed SAFEICE project – due to start work in 2004 – aims to improve the safety, cost-effectiveness and reduce the environmental impact of Arctic navigation. This requires the weighing up of ice conditions against damage risk.
"SAFEICE will focus on developing means of improving the safety of ice navigation," explains coordinator Kaj Riska, professor of Arctic marine technology at Helsinki University of Technology (HUT). To do so, the project will carry out research in three complementary areas: ice loading on ships, design of Arctic ship structures and an integrated traffic control infrastructure. "Safeice is unique in the sense that scientists, maritime authorities and ship designers will all be participating in the same project," says Riska.
A primary transport mode
More than three-quarters of Finland's imports and exports – in summer and harsh winter alike – are currently carried by sea. The most important artery for import of Russian oil goes through the Baltic Sea and oil tanker traffic in other ice-covered Arctic seas such as the Okhotsk and Pechora is expected to increase sharply in the near future.
"The safety of winter navigation should be enhanced as the amount of oil transported through the Baltic Sea and other Arctic waterways is increasing significantly," explains Riska.
Breaking through the ice
Finland and Sweden have already developed a common approach to winter navigation in the Baltic Sea. The general principle is that all ships heading for Finnish or Swedish ports are given icebreaker support. Icebreakers are specially equipped advance boats that cut a path through the ice for tankers and cargo ships to protect them and ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
The limited supply of icebreakers, however, means that local authorities only send out the advance boats for vessels complying with traffic restrictions and heading for winter ports. This means that less-prepared ships or vessels navigating open waters, while not normally navigating in ice, are left to their own devices.
This would imply an urgent need for more icebreakers near winter ports, and stricter regulations to ensure that only ships that are strong and manoeuvrable enough are allowed to navigate Arctic waters.
Riska believes that Finnish and Swedish restrictions, which classify vessels according to their ice-preparedness, should be more widely adopted in the Arctic. "The participation of Canada, Japan and Russia in SAFEICE will make it possible to focus on the safety of winter navigation on a worldwide scale," he explains.
Shipshape sailing
Customising ships to enable them to travel through icy waters is an important factor in safe Arctic navigation. SAFEICE will look into ways of ensuring that more of the vessels coursing through the region are properly strengthened to withstand winter conditions. "We need a more direct and more transparent design approach for ships and also for the mechanisms that are used by the authorities," Riska points out.
The project will also find ways of enhancing and improving the support infrastructure given to ships in the region. This includes furnishing vessels with better 'ice state' information, including real time ice charts and forecasts.

Organometallic compounds are renowned for their remarkable applications in the field of catalysis, but much less is known about their potential in chemical biology. Indeed, such compounds have long been considered to be either unstable under physiological conditions or cytotoxic. As a consequence, little attention has been paid to their possible utilisation for biological purposes. Because of their outstanding physicochemical properties, which include chemical stability, structural diversity and unique photo- and electrochemical properties, however, organometallic compounds have the ability to play a leading role in the field of chemical biology. Indeed, remarkable examples of the use of such compounds—notably as enzyme inhibitors and as luminescent agents—have recently been reported. Here we summarise recent advances in the use of organometallic compounds for chemical biology purposes, an area that we define as "organometallic chemical biology". We also demonstrate that these recent discoveries are only a beginning and that many other organometallic complexes are likely to be found useful in this field of research in the near future.

i have been using this product for quite sometime and i have very sensitive eyes and i have never had a problem with any burning or anything that i normaly get with other cleaners i work for walmart and i tell all my female customers about this product i love the way it make's my face so soft and how well it removes makeup with ese i dont even have to scrub my makeup off like i used to do and i have dry skin and i now have no need for mostrizers i get the best of both world's with this product and i think any women will like it as well as i have lot's of customer's ask are we out of it and thank you for telling me about this i really like i allway's have a customer ask what i use to get my makeup off and i tell them just wished i could still buy this in the store
I tried this product after reading a review from a wal mart associate. I have tried these type of cleansers before and they have left my skin feeling greasy, but that was a long time ago, so I decided to try this one and was very surprised at the results. Great cleanser, does exactly as described in review, way better than soap no mess, cleans great and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, no need for moisturizer, also does not sting your eyes and removes eye make up at the same time.
Hope my review is helpful to all.

Tigers add new type of loss to repertoire
Updated: July 22, 2003, 10:05 AM ETBy Jim Baker | ESPN Insider
One of the interesting things about the 2003 season is that the team with the best record in baseball has suffered beatings far worse than the team with the worst record. The Atlanta Braves are currently 38½ games better than the Detroit Tigers but have had to absorb beatings far more humiliating than the Tigers have. Three times this year have they been on the receiving end of right good thrashings, the combined scores of which are 53-4. April 5: Lost 17-1 to Florida
April 9: Lost 16-2 to Philadelphia
July 1: Lost 20-1 to Florida Prior to Sunday, the Tigers three biggest losses had almost seemed genteel by comparison:

Can you speed up the body's healing process using your mind? Techniques such as hypnosis and guided imagery not only help athletes perform well during competition, but research continues to find that it may be possible to speed up the healing process by using specific mental skills and techniques and maintaining a positive mindset. Researchers have been studying how the mind influences healing for decades and the results continue to find a very real connection.
A 2006 qualitative analysis of the use of imagery by injured athletes concluded that "the implementation of imagery alongside physical rehabilitation should enhance the rehabilitation experience and, therefore, facilitate the recovery rates of injured athletes." Another study looked at the differences in people who healed quickly and those who healed slowly and found some significant differences. Those who healed faster had the following characteristics:

 Took personal responsibility for their recovery process

 Had high motivation, desire and determination

 Had more social support

 Maintained a positive attitude

 Frequently used imagery and other visualization techniques

 Expected a full and successful return to sports

What is Imagery?
One specific technique that is often used in sports psychology and in healing is called imagery. This is also sometimes referred to as guided imagery, mental rehearsal or self-hypnosis. These are all terms used to describe specific techniques that use all of the senses to create mental images, feelings and sensations related to a desired outcome as though it is happening now or has already happened. By using all your senses to create this very real experience of having the desired outcome, you mentally and physically rehearse this desired state.
Research on imagery use by injured athletes, cancer patients, and those undergoing physical rehabilitation has shown that using imagery has many positive outcomes including:

 Increased feelings of control

 Increased rate of healing

 Increased ability to cope with therapy

 Increased motivation to participate in self-care

 Improved mood

 Improved quality of life

 Decreased post-operative pain

 Decreased post-operative anxiety

 Reduced length of time in the hospital

 Decreased amount of pain medication taken

When to Use Imagery Techniques
There are many uses of imagery or self-hypnosis in sports medicine. These techniques have been found to be useful in injury recovery, pain reduction, sports performance enhancement and general stress management. There are possibly many more uses that haven't yet been studied.
Imagery for Pain Reduction
The idea behind using imagery for pain reduction is built upon the principle of relaxation. When muscles are relaxed, they hold less tension. This often leads to reductions in the experience of pain. Imagery techniques that often help increase relaxation and reduce pain include imagining the sensation of getting a massage, sitting on a warm beach or taking a hot bath. Some people have success with imagery by imagining pain being released from the body in a visual way, such as being breathed out with each exhalation. If you mentally rehearse experiences such as this in great detail, you are using imagery.

Imagery for Healing
Just as people use imagery for reducing pain, individuals have reported that similar techniques work for promoting healing and recovery. Examples of healing imagery include imaging a broken bone being glued back together or torn muscles woven back together. Some people use warm, healing colors to promote a feeling of warmth over a body part. Even silly images of strength and power found in comic books have been used successfully to aid healing.

How to Use Imagery - Step-by-Step Guide
If you want to try imagery, but aren't quite sure how to begin, this step-by-step guided meditation cue sheet can help you get started.

In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.

Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.

We have yet to find any official documentation from either Ford or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but Edmunds and Cars.com are both reporting that there is a recall on the 2013 C-Max, Focus and Escape. All three vehicles were assembled with a faulty child door lock mechanism on the left rear door that might not work properly allowing a child to accidently open the door from the inside.

The 2013 Ford Focus in ST trim recently beat the Volkswagen GTI in our head-to-head comparison, and now the Focus has another feather in its cap: earning a five-star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program, something it failed to do in this generation's first year of production.

Ford is celebrating its 350 millionth vehicle. That is an impressive number, spanning back 109 years. The lucky 350 millionth vehicle happens to be a 2013 Ford Focus, which, appropriately enough, is the world's best-selling car for the first six months of this year.

Researchers trying to find out why the incidence of H1N1 infection is lower than expected in older adults discovered that the current H1N1 flu strain is significantly different from H1N1 strains observed over the past few years as well as the normal seasonal flu virus. They add that this is especially true for epitopes, which are structural parts of the virus normally recognized by the immune system if the individual has had exposure through past infection or vaccination.
They hypothesize that the flu strains before 1957 may have had epitopes similar to the current H1N1 strain, so older adults may be somewhat protected. "Those born more recently have virtually no pre-existing immunity to this pandemic H1N1 strain because they have never been exposed to anything like it," explains Richard Scheuermann, Ph.D., professor of pathology and clinical sciences at UT Southwestern and a co-author of the paper that appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Normally, older adults are generally more susceptible to pathogens like influenza," he continues. "However, for the pandemic H1N1 strain this does not seem to be the case. We speculate that older adults may have been exposed to viruses in their youth in which the epitopes are more similar." At this point, he notes, scientists must continue to be vigilant about tracking the pandemic H1N1 strain as it continues to evolve.
The investigators examined whether epitopes present in the seasonal flu strains between 1988 and 2008 were also found in the existing H1N1 strain. They used information catalogued in databases of epitopes and influenza genetic sequences. The scientists found major genetic differences between the pandemic H1N1 strain and seasonal strains.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
