A kind of financial system exercised by many nations is the free market economy. This is a system where the marketplace is run by supply and demand regulation. Unlike the command economy, the federal government or a main authority does not determine exactly what items are to be marketed.
With the purchasers and also distributors being the significant gamers, economic experts and political leaders have varying opinions on the advantages and also troubles of this financial system. In this post, we're going to discuss the advantages of the free market system. We'll follow it up with a later post about the disadvantages.
Advantages of a Free Market Economy
1. Products are manufactured in plenty.
Advocates assert that a market economic climate enables the adequate supply of items that are readily available to customers. Because the concept of this financial system is based upon supply and also need, plutocrats will certainly guarantee they could provide just what the target audience dreams of. In contrast to a command economic climate where a main authority determines just what products are to be created and also marketed, a market economic climate provides dealers liberty to select just what items are practical.
2. It causes a great deal for customers as well as plutocrats.
Fans of the free market economy share their opinions with a system that offers the freehand to producers to make items they recognize will certainly be sellable. On the other hand, customers are able to purchase items they want and to try and find good deals. Ultimately, local business owners will have sufficient earnings to flourish in the sector.
3. It inspires distributors to create top-quality items.
Due to the fact that dealers are there to make a revenue, supporters state that the market economic climate is a reliable system. And also because this depends upon the variety of sales they make, this ends up being a motoring variable for them to establish items of high quality as well as marketing variables.
4. There is much less scarcity as well as excess of items.
Because there is little or no federal government treatment on exactly what items are marketed in a free market, the obligation to research products and determine how they go to market hangs on capitalists. Unlike in a command economic climate where there is an authority that determines on exactly what producers can create as well as market, in a complimentary financial system, plutocrats have more exact information.
5. This financial system increases employment.
Supporters assert that the marketplace economic climate is not just advantageous to the purchasing public, but also to countless individuals that need work. A business owner in the garment sector, for instance, will certainly require numerous employees to keep the business going. This requires even more work and less individuals who are jobless.
6. It motivates competition.
With entities or people who are free to make and provide goods, there will certainly be healthy and balanced competitors amongst firms who offer the very same items. And to remain competitive, makers will certainly need to enhance the quality of products while providing them for a reasonable cost. Moreover, customers will be able to access goods that are of top quality and in their budget.

A new YouTube series is taking on race and gender. Tales from the Kraka Tower, created by University of South Florida MA student Aphrodite Kocieda, is equivalent to the academic version of Awkward Black Girl.
In an effort to reclaim the word "leader" for young girls, organizers of a new campaign are encouraging everyone to ban the word "bossy."
The University of Illinois' Board of Trustees voted to add 'Gender Confirmation Surgery' to student health insurance.
The vote, which landed with 8 out of 9 in favor of the addition, means that transgender students would be allowed to undergo sexual reassignment surgery, and be covered under the student health plan.
For as long as the site has existed, users have only had two options when describing their gender on Facebook. Now, the site has added additional options for those who do not identify as male of female.
During a recent interview with Parade magazine, First Lady Michelle Obama said the Obama Presidency "changes the bar" for all of our youth, regardless of race, gender, or sexuality.
"Children born in the last eight years will only know an African-American man being president of the United States," she said. "That changes the bar for all of our children, regardless of their race, their sexual orientation, their gender."
BET has released a statement regarding the controversy surrounding their treatment of blogger/media personality B. Scott.
According to Scott, BET forced him to completely alter his famously androgynous appearance, including the removal of makeup and high heeled shoes.
In the statement, BET says they regret the "miscommunications from both parties," and unintentionally offending the LGBTQ community.
It's not the BET Awards if something horrible didn't pop off, right?
Well, blogger B. Scott, who hosted the BET Awards red carpet last night, confirmed that the network forced him to change his shoes:
[A]ccording to Scott, BET refused to allow him to wear heels on camera. Scott, who was initially excited for his first BET Awards hosting gig, was noticeably down when he appeared on camera for the pre-show. Afterwards, Scott took to Twitter to reveal that his sullen attitude was caused by BET forcing him to change his outfit.
An article in The Village Voice is helping to bring light a report that unveils some alarming statistics about the police harassment of transgender people of color.
A new report out from the Anti-Violence Project shows that 40 percent of New York City anti-gay violence survivors polled said they had been mistreated by the police in 2012. Reports of police misconduct also spiked by a factor of 10–from eight incidents in 2011 to 78 in 2012–largely because of the AVP's outreach to transgender and gender-nonconforming people of color, according to the organization.
23 year-old soul powerhouse Candice Glover was crowned the winner of American Idol last night.
Glover is the first woman – and the first black woman – to win since Jordin Sparks in 2007.
The booming 23-year-old R&B vocalist from St. Helena Island, S.C., won the Fox singing competition after auditioning a trio of times and making it to the finals this year. Glover looked stunned when "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest announced she bested soulful 22-year-old country singer Kree Harrison from Woodville, Texas.

Hi, I've purchased Blackberry Porsche Design 9981 on May 20th from Porsche Design Online Shop, I've used it over 3 months ago and i've started having some keypad problems. Back Button, Trackpad, Answer Button, End Call Button, and Blackberry Button are stopped working and the lights of Back Button and End Call Button off. I've tried to contact Porsche Design for many times but they can't fix these problems. How do i have to claim it all?
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
First off -- Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Failing that, I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
As for you having any sort of claim, no one here can provide you anything authoritative on that matter. If you indeed have a defective device, then your warranty provisions, as provided to you when you purchased, govern if/how you would proceed with a warranty claim. There are many different warranty models in the world, so you need to check your original purchase documentation to discover exactly what yours are. RIM does not service any warranty at "first level"...all warranty support starts with your original place of purchase, an authorized service center, or your mobile service provider...but, again, your original purchase documentation should tell you what your specific warranty provisions are.
Good luck and let us know!

I also had the same problem , it seems that the flexible cable at the keyboard was damaged.
The P 9981 had a different design than 9900 ( considering they have the nearly same spec.)
the UI board has 3 flex cable, 1 conneting to the mainboard and 2 connecting to the keypad
it seems that the flex cable connecting to the keypad cable in a bad position under the keypad, so everytime we using the keypad , flex cable connected to the uiboard move a little.
Flex cable have a tendency to brake down when moved to much
I have the same problem ?! what should i do ?! should i change the keyboard ?!

Meriden police, church remember abandoned baby 26 years later
Meriden police, church remember abandoned baby 26 years later
MERIDEN — Members of the police department and a local church gathered in the freezing weather to remember the baby boy abandoned in a parking lot in 1988.
Retired Police Chief Robert E. Kosienski attended the memorial service at Walnut Grove Cemetery with about 20 members of the Meriden police department and the Rev. Alden Barnes, pastor of First United Methodist Church. Kosienski said he remembered the morning he got the call about the baby found abandoned in a South Meriden parking lot on Jan. 2, 1988.
"He was found frozen to death," Kosienski said. "Why would a woman do that?"
Kosienski said his first reaction when he got the call was shock. He later found out the mother carried the baby to full term, and he had blonde hair and blue eyes. Kosienski said the massive effort to find the mother was not to punish her, but because the police believe there was "some kind of trauma" that led her to abandon the child. The baby was named David Paul, which means "God's beloved little man" in scripture, and was officially adopted by the city police department. The child was buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery.
Barnes said this year at the memorial service he read a prayer for children, keeping in mind the recent one-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy as well. "This death put a light on how vulnerable children are at all ages in this society," Barnes said.
Barnes said a man attended the memorial service and said he was interested in the Safe Haven law that was passed in Connecticut in 2000. Mothers can voluntarily drop off infants under 30 days old at a hospital with no requirement to identify themselves. The infant will go into the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

So it's happened... the finale to American Horror Story's first season.
By the time it was over, I was really sad. I am definitely going to
miss it. My thoughts...
The finale was excellent. I can see why some people will have problems with it, but I honestly loved how it ended. It did so much things in one single episode, but then again, that is one of the trademarks of this show- it always does so much you can barely pause to think about everything that happened. I love how we had the 'boo' scares from the Harmon family to a new one. It seems that the house is divided- we have the sane, happy ghosts (The Harmons, Moira) then we have the vengeful ghosts full of hate.
What can I say about the ending of the episode? Perfection! Jessica Lange's final monologue is brilliant, and the closing scene of the episode was as well. In a way, we want to see this storyline as well, but I doubt we will. This could easily be seen as a series finale, but now we know how every season of this show will be constructed. I cannot wait for it, and all in all, an excellent finale to an excellent season!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
i don't understand people's reaction to that TV Show : no one seems to
notice that in each episode of the first season , there is at least 5
or 6 scripts errors (except that user who reviewed each episode and
seems to hate the show at first sight). The show is original and the
idea of mixing every horror movie in one single season could be good,
but jeez ,even if you demand the audience to respect fantasy and horror
movies rules, please Mr Showmen RESPECT those rules. As watching the
show i was always thinking "ok, if this one knows this, then he CAN't
react like this) I found out why it's so annoying to watch: it's
because characters are very poorly drew. If the script have them to act
this way , they will, despite who they are ,and despite what they know
about this House ,( who would have been abandoned or destroy for
decades in real life) , it's not characters who will define the scripts
and what happens, it's quite the contrary: that's why you always think:
this can't happen. Hiring a house who is on a Tour of Horror without
knowing it? Ben never heard about Betty Short? Violet read who is Tate
on the web , and doesn't mind dating someone dead? well, there's
million of little "oh-look-that-way-and-don't-consider-this" tricks
offered by the scenarists all during the show that make us wonder if
this is ironic or if they do want us scared or laughing. Too bad
because sometime ,some scenes and ideas are really beautiful).
(PS: i REALLY don't get the WHY of the Jessica Lange characters ,what she represents and the scene with a lazy & ery naive LAPD are hilarious)
Episode flashes back to 9 months previously. Then back. Nothing makes
sense in this show. I sat through every episode. It's horrible.
This episode brings in new ghosts to the house and a new tenant.
There's nothing believable in this show. You can't suspend disbelief at all.
And the writing really really sucks.
This episode is one big mess. It doesn't really tie up any loose ends and the ending is a burlesque. In truth the ending just keeps going, and going, and going.
It's actually sort of insulting.

Gentle Souls Buckled-Up Boots is rated out of 5 by 281.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynz from Best Boots ever I have been eyeing these boots for some years now!!! Loved the look - I was waiting for a sale - long wait - but finally they were reduced and I bought them. The most comfortable boots I've ever put on!!! no breaking in needed - softest leather - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!
Date published: 2017-01-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katalogkween from Wow They fit and are comfortable. That is a rare experience for me in the world of boots. Of course, I've never spent this much before on a boot, but it is worth it in this case. I have high arches and instep -- these aren't tight on the top of my foot. I have athletic calves-- not huge but definitely not thin legs-- perfect fit there also. The leather pleats on the side lay flat, the buckles are adjustable, the leather is soft. I am a size 7 in shoes, 6 or 6 1/2 in sandals. These fit perfectly in a 6 1/2. I am very happy with them. Worth a try if you are thinking about them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cozykat from Most comfortable boots Purchased these on sale in brown. I have owned the black ones for a couple of years. They are the most comfortable boots I own. If you are going to be on your feet a lot this is the pair you want to wear! I think they run a tad large. I wear an 81/2 or 9 but still ordered the 9 because I like to be able to wear warm socks. They have a wide toe box which my bunions appreciate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Safroni from Just What I Was Looking For These boots are very comfortable. I purchased in the brown color which is very nice shade. I wear all day with no problem! I ordered my normal size and roomy, but would not need to size down. Cool looking too. Very happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Arden25 from New Favorite Boots I'd been stalking these boots at GH for some time. When they went on sale, I couldn't resist and bought a pair in black. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Cool moto style looks great with skinny jeans or leggings. Love these new boots!

Do these boots stretch out with wear? One of them is a bit tight but the other is perfect.
Yes, these boots have give to them and get better and better with wear. I have a good sized bunion on my right foot so often have to order up a size to accommodate. I have 2 pairs of these boots Black purchased 2+ years ago and the Brown purchased 12/12....these are awesome boots and now at a great price!

For those who already own these boots: water stains?
I just ordered these boots and anticipate loving them. My question is: do I need to be worried about wearing them in the rain and snow? Will this stain the leather or screw it up any other way? Thanks!
This boot is water resistant, not water proof. They are not meant to be worn in inclement weather.

Frustrated with size...
I ordered a 9 which is my regular size and found that my heel would lift when walking. I was wearing socks-not thick socks but still. I just got the 8.5 and they do feel small. Right foot is great but the left foot feels a little tight. I really love these boots but don't know whether to stick with the regular size or hope the smaller will stretch out or to just admit that my true size is somewhere in between. Any advice???
Many online reviewers stated that they ordered a half size down for the right fit, however as you are finding one boot tight in this instance, it seems you may need the 9. Perhaps using the 9 with a heavier sock would do the trick?
Date published: 2015-11-20
I wear usual a size 7.5 in shoes but I've a pretty narrow foot, so should I order a size 7.5 or downsize to 7 ?
These are a biker syle fit - very relxed with a little heel slippage. We do recommend that customers with a true narrow foot order down 1/2 size. We also recommend wearing socks for a snugger fit.

What color is the buckle on the black boots? Hoping for a more neutral gunmetal (which appears to be pictured) rather than a bright silver
The buckle on the black boot is a gunmetal silver.

Paths to International Justice by Marie-Benedicte Dembour
Book DescriptionThis volume focuses on the everyday social relationships through which international justice is produced. Using case studies from the International Criminal Court, the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Women's Convention Committee and elsewhere, it explores international justice as a process that takes place at the intersection of the often contradictory practices of applicants, lawyers, bureaucrats, victims, accused and others. With a sensitivity to broader institutional and political inequalities, the contributors ask how and why international justice is mobilised, understood and abandoned by concrete social actors, and to what effect. An attention to the different voices that feed into international justice is essential if we are to understand its potentials and limitations in the midst of social conflict or full blown political violence.

"Fighting Tigers" Help to Build Home for Salvadoran Family
Story Number: NNS140331-27Release Date: 3/31/2014 4:28:00 PM
By Lt. j.g. Torrey Plum, Patrol Squadron 8 Public Affairs
CUYULTITAN, El Salvador (NNS) -- Seven Sailors from Patrol Squadron 8 - the Fighting Tigers - at Cooperative Security Location Comalapa spent March 29 helping to build a home here for a Salvadoran family.
The Fighting Tigers leveled floors, hauled dirt and erected scaffolding in support of a Habitat for Humanity project.
Habitat for Humanity El Salvador relies mostly on donations and volunteers to provide housing to families, many of which have been displaced by natural disasters.
Hugo Rodriguez, the recipient of the new home, expressed appreciation for the volunteers' time and effort.
"The experience allows us to create new relationships with people from other countries," he said. "It means a great deal to us that these people, who we've never met, are willing to volunteer their time in order to provide us with a home."
Lt. j.g. Paxie Cordova, a pilot with VP-8, described the Rodriguez family's gratitude as humbling.
"Habitat for Humanity provides us with a wonderful opportunity to help the local community and leave a lasting mark from our time spent here," she said.
The Fighting Tigers of VP-8 are deployed to the 4th and 5th fleet areas of responsibility, assisting in the Counter Transnational Organized Crime mission and providing humanitarian assistance.

Many studies in public health, including comparative effectiveness research, aim to answer questions such as "what works for whom?" or "under what conditions does it work?" Such questions can often only be answered in the context of a non-experimental study. Propensity scores are a key statistical tool for non-experimental studies because they facilitate the comparison of "apples with apples." However, many non-experimental studies require combining information from multiple data sets, which may have slightly different measures available. Examples include depression measured using two different scales, or direct- versus parent-reported measures of behavior among children with autism. Existing propensity score methods cannot handle situations where the covariates are measured with error or are measured differently across treatment and comparison groups. This is a particular challenge in mental health research, where many of the disorders and factors under study are not directly observable and are instead modeled as latent constructs. This project will develop and assess new statistical methods for estimating treatment effects in non-experimental studies when the covariates are measured with error or are measured in different ways across the treatment and comparison groups. The work will tie together propensity score methods for estimating treatment effects, latent variable methods, and multiple imputation methods for handling missing data.
The aims are: 1) Investigate the implications of measurement error in the covariates when using propensity score methods to estimate treatment effects, 2) Develop and assess propensity score methods for settings where some of the covariates are measured with error or are measured differently in the treatment and comparison groups, and 3) Use the results and methods from Aims 1 and 2 to estimate treatment effects in three studies, each comparing a group receiving the intervention to an external comparison group, and then test the methods by comparing those estimates to the reported treatment effects from randomized trials of the same interventions. The methods will be examined in the context of three studies in mental health evaluating the effectiveness of (1) early intervention for children with autism, (2) perinatal depression prevention, and (3) the use of ginkgo biloba to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Many important questions regarding the effects of policies, treatments, or interventions in public health can only be answered using non-experimental methods due to ethical or feasibility concerns with randomized controlled trials. New statistical methods are needed to allow researchers to take full advantage of existing data to estimate treatment effects in non- experimental studies.

Mycena overholtsii
Mycena overholtsii, commonly known as the snowbank fairy helmet or fuzzy foot, is a species of fungus in the family Mycenaceae. The mushrooms produced by the fungus are relatively large for the genus Mycena, with convex grayish caps up to 5 cm (2.0 in) in diameter and stems up to 15 cm (5.9 in) long. The gills on the underside of the cap are whitish to pale gray, and initially closely spaced before becoming well-spaced at maturity after the cap enlarges. The mushrooms are characterized by the dense covering of white "hairs" on the base of the stem. M. overholtsii is an example of a snowbank fungus, growing on well-decayed conifer logs near snowbanks, during or just after snowmelt. Formerly known only from high-elevation areas of western North America, particularly the Rocky Mountain and Cascade regions, it was reported for the first time in Japan in 2010. The edibility of the mushroom is unknown. M. overholtsii can be distinguished from other comparable species by differences in location, or spore size.
History and naming[edit]
The species was first described by mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Wilhelm Solheim in 1953, on the basis of specimens collected in the Medicine Bow Mountains of Albany County, Wyoming.[1] The specific epithet honors the early 20th-century American mycologist Lee Oras Overholts.[2] It is commonly known as the "snowbank fairy helmet",[3] or "fuzzy foot",[4] although it shares the latter name with Tapinella atrotomentosa[5] and Xeromphalina campanella.[6] M. overholtsii has been given the Japanese name yukitsutsumikunugitake.[7]
Mycena overholtsii produces some of the largest mushrooms of the genus Mycena.[8] They have caps that are 1.5 to 5 cm (0.6 to 2.0 in) in diameter, and convex in shape, developing an umbo (a central protrusion resembling a nipple) in maturity. The cap surface is smooth, moist, and marked with radial striations.[9] The caps are somewhat hygrophanous, and depending on age and state of hydration, range in color from brown or grayish-brown,[10] to dark or bluish-gray. The mushroom flesh is thin and watery, with a light gray color.[2]
The gills have an adnate, adnexed, or shallowly decurrent attachment to the stem, and are initially closely spaced before becoming well-spaced at maturity.[11] They have a whitish to pale gray color, and will stain gray when they are bruised.[12] There are three or four tiers of lamellulae (short gills that do not extend fully from the cap margin to the stem) interspersed between the gills.[11] The stem is 4 to 15 cm (1.6 to 5.9 in) long by 0.3 to 1 cm (0.1 to 0.4 in) thick, and tapers upward so that the stem apex is slightly thinner than the base.[9] It can be straight or curved, has cartilage-like flesh, and is hollow in maturity.[11] When growing on soft, well-decayed wood, the stem often penetrates deeply into the substrate.[3] The stem is pinkish-brown in color, and the lower half is tomentose – densely covered with white, woolly hairs.[10] The mushroom has a yeast-like odor and a mild taste;[13] its edibility is unknown,[10] but it is not considered poisonous.[9]
Microscopic characteristics[edit]
Viewed in deposit, as with a spore print, the spores appear white. Microscopically, the spores are roughly elliptical, sometimes appearing bean-shaped, with dimensions of 5.5–7.0 by 3.0–3.5 µm. They are thin-walled and smooth, and bear an indistinct hilar appendage.[11] The spores are amyloid, meaning they will absorb iodine and turn black to blue-black when stained with Melzer's reagent. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are four-spored. The cheilocystidia (cystidia on the gill edge), which are scattered and interspersed with basidia, are roughly cylindric to fusoid (spindle-shaped), smooth, hyaline (translucent), and measure 45–65 by 2–5.5 µm. Pleurocystidia (cystidia on the gill face) are uncommon, and similar in appearance to the cheilocystidia. The cap cuticle is an ixocutis (a fungal tissue type in which the hyphae are gelatinous and lie flat) with mostly smooth hyphae that are 1.5–3.5 µm in diameter. The cap flesh is dextrinoid, meaning it will turn reddish-brown in Melzer's reagent. Clamp connections are present in the hyphae of M. overholtsii.[13]
Similar species[edit]
Other similar mycenas that grow in clusters on wood include M. maculata and M. galericulata. The fruit bodies of M. maculata often develop red stains as they mature, but this characteristic is inconsistent and cannot be reliably used for identification. Its spores are larger than that of M. overholtsii, measuring 7–10 by 4–6 µm. M. galericulata is very similar in appearance to M. maculata, but does not undergo reddish staining; its spores are 8–12 by 5.5–9 µm.[14] Another similar species is M. semivestipes,[15] which can be distinguished by its bleach-like odor, an eastern North American distribution, fruiting season during summer and autumn, and small spores measuring 4–5 by 2.5–3 µm.[16]
Habitat and distribution[edit]
This species is sometimes found singly, but more often in clusters on well-rotted conifer logs and stumps (often Douglas-fir) near melting snowbanks,[3] or sometimes in moist snow chambers formed by receding snow.[12] Cool nighttime temperatures reduce the snowmelt rate, and help ensure that spores released by the mushroom will be dispersed into the soil.[9] The mushroom is common in western North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest, the Rocky Mountains and the Cascade mountains. It has been reported in four US states: South Dakota,[17] California, Washington and Wyoming, but is not known in Oregon.[13] It is also found in western Canada.[18] The mushroom is restricted to areas with minimum elevations of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[8] In 2010, it was reported growing in the boreal coniferous forests of Hokkaido, Japan, in plantations of Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis), as well as in natural forests dominated by both Sakhalin fir and Jezo spruce (Picea jezoensis).[7] In North America, the mushroom usually appears between March and July;[13] Japanese collections were made in May.[7] The fruiting period can be prolonged, especially in areas with heavy snowfall,[19] or at high elevations where the snowmelt is delayed.[9]

: I tested this approach (At revision 1379678) and it seems working. I can : see generated values. e.g. <str : name="uniqueKey">a259aa91-353f-4824-9f68-01837b721cf7</str> Hmmm... on a single node instance it might work -- but i'm pretty sure it's just "tricking" the processing chain into thinking the uniqueKey for the document is "NEW" (literally the string "NEW") and then later in the processing the logic in UUIDField is replacing it with a new value. If you tried to do that in SolrCloud, every document in your index would be routed to a single shard (based on the hash value of the string "NEW") and most of your documents would be un-deletable by id -- because your request to delete "a259aa91-353f-4824-9f68-01837b721cf7" would be routed to a diff shared then the one where the document wound up when Solr thought it's id was "NEW" -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Sometimes simple isn't good,
Sometimes mad is best,
Sometimes staying up all night,
Can make you crazy with no rest,
Sometimes obscurity,
Can attract the ordinary mind,
Sometimes sanity is so hard to find.
Sometimes foolishness,
Can prevent you from hurt,
Whilst you rock out to your minds,
Original madness concert,
Some see the world,
In black and blue,
But we see it bright,
Something felt-tips drew.
Some are normal,
While we are loud,
We're abnormal, insane,
And yet we are proud.
So here's to my crazy ones,
That don't mind the stares,
Who jump and laugh at life,
Free of any cares.
Here's to the mad ones,
That won't settle down,
That grin at whatever is said,
And wear the 'mad' crown.

I walk between rows of stainless steel counters strewn with dark monitors and abandoned notebooks, lit by the flickering fluorescent light coming from the glass-fronted berths lining the walls. I walk to the one I need and lift open the door, helping out the young woman sleeping inside.
Thin and long-limbed, her skin is the color of birch bark, with coal tar hair falling to her shoulders. She allows me to take her hand, her amber eyes bright with curiosity as she peers at my face. I lead her to a locker, and in the dim blue-white light she puts on jeans, a grey cotton shirt, leather work boots. I watch her dress, and think of the times I'd watched her during her long, long sleep — her, and the others, too, most of their lights now extinguished.
The pack I've assembled for her sits askew on a desk near the door. She slips it over her shoulders easily, and after putting on my heavy mask, I open the hatch.
We walk up broken concrete steps to the street. Little has changed since my last visit outside: the asphalt is still buckled and torn, burnt trunks all that remain of the decorative trees. The flow of time has remained constant, I think, with some surprise.
She walks ahead of me, silhouetted against the cracked, jaundiced sky. No breeze stirs her jet hair as she takes in the new surroundings.
I walk to her, stumbling a bit as I clamber over the same rubble shes navigated with grace. She turns to me, and her eyes have already changed. Their light is dimming — so soon? — and their rich amber hue is fading to mirror the diseased and broken sky.

A rare blend.
Finding a trainer that's portable enough to take to and from races but solid enough that you'd also want to leave set-up in your basement for indoor winter training can be a lot to ask. Additionally, if you're using it to warm up pre-race, you can't risk damaging a race tire with a rear-locking design. Feedback Sports fills this gap in the trainer market with the Omnium Portable Trainer. Weighing less than 14lbs, the trainer is completely foldable and comes with a heavy-duty, padded tote bag that's the right size to be easily stowed in an airplane's overhead compartment when races require you travel further afield. Despite this portability, once it's set up, the Omnium is rock-solid enough to handle your most punishing indoor workouts.
The Omnium unfolds in three parts, so setup is tool-free and quick, and Feedback's engineers created it to accommodate a wide range of bike sizes. Whether you're riding an XXL 29er or a minimalistic crit machine, the Omnium's length and height can be adjusted to adapt to a wide range of wheelbases and frame sizes. The trainer's fork-mount enjoys similar versatility; it's compatible with standard quick-release forks and thru-axles ranging up to and including the new Boost standard. Once you're ready to ride, the Omnium's intelligent design makes a pre-race spin or an indoor interval set quiet and effective, with completely sealed aluminum drums adding resistance using Feedback's magnetic Internal Progressive Resistance (IPR) for a smooth, realistic ride.

Your most reliable training partner.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this at home, by the side of the road on road trips, and for warm-up and cool down at races. As a pro cyclocross racer, I needed something versatile, sturdy enough for out-of-the-saddle sprinting, able to get a little dirty (because my bike is sometimes a little dirty after races ;-), and lightweight enough to travel all over - even overseas! I called it my ride-saver, for the number of times I used it to warm-up, cool down, or sneak in a quick ride at home. Easy to set-up, easy to store, easy to take on the road.
Great for use in hotel rooms
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I travel for work and was getting tired of lugging my standard fluid trainer up the elevator to my hotel room so I bought the Omnium. It's so easy now to just hold onto it while putting my bike on the elevator and not having to make two trips. Works as described and provides as good a workout as my fluid trainer. I do mostly spinning and intervals indoors and it works great for that type of training. The bag is great and makes transporting the trainer easy. Highly recommend!
NEVER Going Back....
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This simple fork-mount design is optimized for pre-race warm-up, travel, and those days when life (or the weather) gets in the way of your ride. The Omnium trainer utilizes Internal Progressive Resistance (IPR): delivering a real-road feel with minimal noise.
Internal Progressive Resistance
Accepts standard QR, 12×100, 15×100 & 15×110 (boost) thru axles
Adjustable wheelbase and fork-mount height for various bicycles (road, MTB, Cx)
No tools required to assemble or store- simply unfold and fold.
Bearings are greased and sealed, requiring no maintenance
Includes heavy-duty tote bag for transport and storage!
As a year round racer, I'm used to lugging around my other trainer and just dealing with the heavy aspect of it.. Not saying the trainer I have is bad.. This one is simply by far superior and I will not be using the other one ever again. I have used the Omnium for all my warm-ups at all my races this year. . The Omnium packs well in my EVOC bike case (my small frame size makes that possible) although it can also be checked separately for travel. Its the best trainer out there.
hi can it work mtb , my bike size larger
The answer is, Yes! The Feedback Omnium Trainer accommodates wheel sizes 600c – 700c, 26″-29″ and accepts forks w/ standard QR, 12 x 100, 15 x 100 & 15 x 110 (boost) thru axles!
Please contact me directly with any future questions!
Light, easy, solid!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
You may recognize the resemblance the Omnium bears to the SportCrafters trainer of the same name. Feedback was able to license the design and make several noteworthy improvements on the already great original. The Feedback omnium sets up in seconds, transports easily (you can wear the storage bag like a backpack) and you don't need to worry about swapping your rear skewer back and forth (risking jumping into a race with a crooked rear wheel.....been there, don't care to do it again). While the resistance probably won't match that of an adjustable stationary trainer, it's great for pre-race warm ups, quick workouts, bike testing, etc. You can't beat the size and weight, and the typical excellent Feedback quality and functionality is all there. Outstanding overall!
As promised
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Well designed, well built, stable, lightweight, go anywhere trainer. Adjustable for bike length and fork type - really well thought out. Great for apartment or condo - or good for throwing in the back of the car for pre-race warm up. Takes up less space than conventional rear wheel mag trainers. Do not hesitate.

Ricotta Pie Dessert
|Ricotta cheese
|1 Pound
|1 Pinch
|3 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|Egg whites
|Egg yolks
1. In a large mixing bowl combine ricotta, salt, sugar, flour and egg yolks.
2. Mix with a mixer until very smooth - about 2 minutes on medium speed.
3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the egg whites until there are stiff peaks. This takes about 1 1/2 min. on high with a mixer using the whisk attachments.
4. When ready, gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture until well blended.
5. Meanwhile flour the cake pan lightly or spring form pan. (see tip below if unsure how to do this).
6. Pour the mixture gently into the pan and give a good tap on the counter to make level.
7. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 35 minutes.
8. Remove from oven when done and let cool for about 1 hour (if you can wait that long). The pie will "deflate" so do not worry when that happens.
9. When ready to serve, top with strawberries and confectioners sugar. Enjoy!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was my first time reading any of Arthur C. Clarke's work, and I started the book without knowing what the story was about. When I read a well-known classic, I expect to find familiar plot elements that I've seen in more modern works. In this case, I don't think I've encountered a story quite like this, although I'm sure there are some out there somewhere.
The first chapter did seem like a very familiar story. In that short chapter we learn that the U.S. and Russia are having a space race, each only weeks away from launching ships to explore our own galaxy. Before the chapter is over, both countries lose the space race when a fleet of alien ships suddenly shows up and takes position over all the major countries of Earth.
So that sounds like a story that's been done to death, but it doesn't go in the direction you would probably expect. Despite being more unique than I expected, my interest fluctuated drastically throughout the book. There were story elements I was very interested in, and there were times when I was fully engaged in trying to guess explanations for certain things, but there were many other times when it was a struggle to push through.
This is a far more plot-driven story than character-driven. In some cases the characters weren't very likeable, and in other cases we just didn't get into their heads deeply enough to really understand them. The story took a rather bizarre turn that I didn't care for as it approached the end. From that point, it was rather bleak and disturbing. The writing came across as a little stilted to me, not just the dialogue but the narrative as well. It wasn't drastically so, and it's hard to put my finger on the specific reasons I felt that way. I don't think it was the age of the book, because I've read other books from around this time period without having the same impression.
I'll likely try some more of Clarke's work in the future. I already have a copy of Rendevous with Rama, so that's likely the next one I'll try once I decide to cycle back to this author.
This is a classic in the world of early science-fiction, and I really wish I could say that it was marvelous and I could not get enough of it. But I can't. Aside from the evident cultural changes that have occurred with women taking a more active role other than hysterics or wives/mothers, along with the outdated use of racial labeling, the writing and story just dragged. There were moments of brilliance, such as the emergence of the Overlords from their ship, the knowledge of how humanity had to leave its war-like needs, and the explanation of aging on almost-lightspeed travel. Otherwise, the story dragged through a lot of ideas that it seemed Clarke didn't have time to complete or explore fully. And after the ending played out, all I could think about was all of the wildlife and vegetation who were just going around, living their lives, and had nothing to do with any conflict or space travel but were just suddenly eliminated.
humanistic. Humanity gives up its individuality and becomes one with some great Over-mind. Depressing.
This is one of the necessary sci-fi classics! I love the plot and the writing itself is vivid, full, rich, eloquent yet straight-forward. For such a compact book, it sure has so many ideas and I love that. I'm definitely a new fan of Clarke. Written in 1953, I think Clarke could have had more of a vision for the future than just 2.5 billion people. Also, he mentions there will be so much TV but can't imagine technology that went after TV (like the various forms of recorded TV --DVR, DVDs.) It does get a bit confusing and off the rails in the last third of the book, which I thought could have used a little more explaining. The book reminded me of Lovecraft's 'At the Mountains of Madness'. This is my first Clarke and I will be reading more, if this is so good and didn't even make the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
An enjoyable read about an alien culture mid-wifing the ascension of the human race.
I'm not sure Childhood's End is the first book my dad gave me, but it was one of the first, and it's certainly the one I remember most vividly. And it's probably a book that changed my life.

A winner of an iF Gold Award, Mark Sanders design for the IF Mode Folding Bicycle is aimed at commuters of the mobile generation who, until now, may have not considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. IF Mode avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps, and the clutter of traditional bike features. It takes seconds to unfold into a full sized street bike and weighing in at only 14.7kg (32lbs). The bike has a special handle so you can wheel it around much like airport luggage. With its green credentials and compact shape, Sanders says, the features and "uncluttered aesthetic offer a radical new image of what a bicycle can be."
IF Mode Folding Bike, by Mark Sanders, for Pacific Cycles
Inspired by the magpie, Matti Klenell has created a new addition to the Iittala Birds collection. The magpie is well-known for stealing jewellery and other shiny objects and hiding them in their nests. Klenell wanted to incorporate the same idea of hiding something into his new pieces. In the process, he has given his glass birds a practical use alongside their aesthetic one – drawing on the varied skills of the glassblowers and craftsmen at Iittala's Nuutajärvi glassworks.
Klenell has designed two bird families for Iittala: the Harakka (Magpie) family and the Korpi (Deep Forest) family, both with two generations of members. Klenell's birds comprise two or three parts, which adds to their sculptural qualities. They also include a functional feature that is unique in the Iittala Birds collection, as the hollow bottom sections of his birds can be used as handy little containers to keep treasures, such as jewellery, notes, and memories, just like the magpie.
"There's a long tradition of using glass objects as hiding places, and there are many examples in mythology and history of urns and vases being used for this purpose. The stolen diamonds in detective stories are often thrown into a Ming vase, and people playing computer games often need to look inside an urn to find further clues for the game."

Season is a ceramic vase with a poetic meaning. A wide base, exaggeratedly decentered, receives the petals that the cutted flower lost over time. Season is a metaphor of elapsed time. The rigour and simplicity of the shape: a cylinder on a white ceramic plate, contrasts with the forms and the colors of the vegetal. It follows in a sensitive and poetic staging where the flower is the center of attention.

Swarm is a space divider that offers great flexibility in density and scale, enabling the creation of light-filled, intimate spaces within open environments. The term Swarm describes an aggregation of animals (insects, fish, birds and microorganisms) of similar size and body orientation, generally cruising in the same direction. The Swarm space divider displays a similar behavior, softening spaces, fading in and out, creating texture and motion. The self-standing units blend together when arranged in groups.

In Karelia there was an ancient belief in the Sielulintu or Soul bird. The Sielulintu was thought to deliver the soul to newborn babies and also to transport the soul to the afterlife at the moment of death. It was believed the Sielulintu protected a persons soul at it's most vulnerable; when dreaming, and it was tradition to keep a carved wooden bird by the bedside to keep the soul safe during sleep.

Elections & Voting
Program #CHON251. Recorded in Cambridge, MA on September 09, 2016.
What's your favorite flavor? Trump? Hillary? Maybe Jill Stein or Gary Johnson? Or maybe you were one of the 13 million Bernie Sanders voters? A lot of people invest heavily in emotional terms in elections. Hopes are raised to the skies, then there are disappointing defeats or if your candidate wins and assumes office disillusionment sets in. And you say, Oh, man, how could I have been so wrong? Know the feeling? Maybe that emotional investment is misplaced. Often real change comes not from elected officials but from activists and movements that pressure elected officials. Some of the great social and political advancements have come far removed from the ballot box. Think of Mahatma Gandhi. Think of the suffrage movement and the handful of women who began it in Seneca Falls, NY or Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's a long-held tradition that in January we all try to go to the gym. Or at least once or twice. We flock to the gym like sheep with the guilt and the extra few pounds weighing us down. Often we trick ourselves into believing that if we are paying for our gym membership then we will have more of an incentive to lose weight. But for most of us, we start with great intentions but are left short-changed by the end.
Test out your New Year's resolutions in the comfort of your own home and with no reason to worry that your head is the same size as Hank's biceps on the treadmill next to you at the gym.
Feel the burn of YouTube
YouTube is the perfect place to get hour-long classes in your living room, without having to fear that the instructor is giving you the eye for not finishing that push-up. It also opens the doors to many different types of workouts that you might not have ever thought about. You can try out intense full-body workouts, burn some fat with Pilates or build core strength with yoga videos.
The possibilities are endless on YouTube, and you won't have to spend any money to get it. If you enjoy a workout, save it to your playlist so you can do it over and over again. Just make sure you have enough room so you're not tripping over the furniture or yourself.
Walk before you can run
Often we overlook the benefits of walking, and due to it being low-impact exercise, we stop before we see any results. However, it is a simple and easy way to get more exercise, especially on workdays.
5 tips on how to walk more every day!
· Walk to work. Or if you drive or get public transport, get off before normal and walk a longer distance
· When you get home, take five to ten minutes to walk around your neighbourhood
· Although you may look slightly odd, when waiting for the kettle to boil or waiting for anything, walk around the room
· If you have a lift in your office or place of work, take the stairs. It's simple but effective
· At lunchtime go out of the building and stretch your legs. This can also help break up your day
· After a while, the more you get into the habit of walking regularly you can increase the intensity by jogging or doing a weekly run
The TV workout
We all love to slump into a cosy chair and flick on our favourite show when we get home. But I am sure most of us can agree the adverts are mind-numbing. So start making use of that wasted time watching adverts by doing some quick exercises.
· When the adverts come on, get up and walk around the room or run on the spot
· When the next advert comes on do some jumping jack burpees. These involve jumping into a starfish shape, jumping back in, jumping with your arms up into the sky and the bending your knees down to the ground and then hopping into a push-up position. Then repeat
· As it changes again, do bench presses on your sofa. This in time will tone and build muscle in your arms
· Finally, to cool down, grab your TV remote control. Engage your core and start twisting your torso whilst holding the remote control with both hands together. This is a great exercise for getting rid of those pesky love handles
