Det. Munch was my favorite charecter on SVU, and way underused. Apparently the charecter is leaving to take a job as "special investigator for the attorney generals office" leaving future guest appearances open. I'd love to see him get a spin off show out of this where he is the lead. Oh, and a guest appearance on Castle would be great.
Not that I've watched the show in a few years (Mariska's increasingly magnificent tits and ass just isn't enough to get me to suffer through the absurd plots and poor writing), but now there's that much less reason to watch this show. Munch rocked!
I don't think Benson was in "love" with Stabler. They had great chemistry together, yes, but only on the force. She may have had a crush on him but she was also friends with Stabler's wife so there's no way Benson would have been a homewrecker. Benson and Cassidy really is a good idea, though. I do believe that the only way she can find love is with another cop. And Cassidy is different enough from her to make it work.
That's what I thought, too! Sorry to see Munch go, but he's earned his retirement. Now he can dream up conspiracy theories as much as he wants.
One minor thing that annoys me with all the L&O shows is that they seem oblivious to the fact that police officers typically retire long before the ages the characters reach on the show. Granted, there are a lot of unrealistic things on L&O shows. However, just once I'd like to see one of the departing old-timers just, you know, actually retire instead of either killing them off or giving them another job.
They hooked up in season 1 of SVU (last year I watched seasons 1-12 on Netflix. It took forever). She was just looking for a fling, he thought it was serious. Benson's never been good with relationships. Bringing Winters back after 12 seasons though was a stroke of genius.
That quote from her abductor in the fist episode of the season about how she would eventually call out 'his' name when he was attacking her and then her heartfelt speech to that bad cop in the most recent episode beg to differ.
That could be because she views Stabler as the type of cop who could come to her rescue. She doesn't "love" him so much as she views him as almost like a personal saviour.
Agreed. And as I said, she probably did have a crush on him. If Stabler had not been married, who knows what could have happened? But Liv is not a homewrecker and she knows enough to stay away from married guys. Notice how she didn't go after Stabler even when he and his wife were separated?
They didn't devote much of the episode to Munch, but what else is new? At least they left it open for him to make a guest appearance if Richard Belzer wants to. It was nice to see Munch's old Homicide comrade Detective Meldrick Lewis (Clark Johnson) at his send off. I didn't like that they only credited him as 'party guest' instead of Meldrick Lewis.
I didn't watch the episode, but the "party guest" was probably so they didn't need to pay the writers of Homicide for using their character.
I was happy that it didn't fall into the cliche's of him being killed off, or captured, or any one of the million ways that Law & Order has written out characters. It was quiet, it was subtle, and it fit his character.
I have no problem with how the character left the show, just the fact that it only took 2 minutes of screen time.
Based on what they did with Andre Braugher, maybe it wasn't Lewis at all, just someone who looks and sounds just like him.
Sending him to the DA's office was a good move so we can see him a few times a season. I thought it was a really good episode over all.

FLAG-tag, or FLAG octapeptide, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild-type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A FLAG-tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a FLAG-tag to this protein allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the FLAG sequence. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by SDS PAGE protein electrophoresis.
The peptide sequence of the FLAG-tag from the N-terminus to the C-terminus is: DYKDDDDK (1012 Da). It can be used in conjunction with other affinity tags, for example a polyhistidine tag (His-tag), HA-tag or Myc-tag. It can be fused to the C-terminus or the N-terminus of a protein. Some commercially available antibodies (e.g., M1/4E11) recognize the epitope only when it is present at the N-terminus. However, other available antibodies (e.g., M2) are position-insensitive.

Complement component C2 is part of the classical complement pathway which plays a major role in innate immunity against infection. C2 is a glycoprotein synthesized in liver hepatocytes and several other cell types in extrahepatic tissues. This pathway is triggered by a multimolecular complex C1, and subsequently the single-chain form of C2 is cleaved into two chains referred to C2a and C2b by activated C1. The second component of complement (C2) is a multi-domain serine protease that provides catalytic activity for the C3 and C5 convertases of the classical and lectin pathways of human complement. C4b and C2 was investigated by surface plasmon resonance. C2a containing a serine protease domain combines with complement component C4b to form the C3 convertase C4b2a which is responsible for C3 activation, and leads to the stimulation of adaptive immune responses via Lectin pathway. C2 bound to C4b is cleaved by classical (C1s) or lectin (MASP2) proteases to produce C4bC2a. C2 has the same serine protease domain as C4bC2a but in an inactive zymogen-like conformation, requiring cofactor-induced conformational change for activity. Deficiency of C2 (C2D) is the most common genetic deficiency of the complement system, and two types of C2D have been recognized in the context of specific MHC haplotypes. C2D in human is reported to increase susceptibility to infection, and is associated with certain autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatological disorders.

What is an elevator pitch?
An elevator pitch or elevator speech is a short (30-90 second) personal statement that summarizes who you are, what you know and what you want to do. The ideal elevator pitch will leave the person you are speaking with impressed and wanting to learn more about you. A well-crafted and delivered elevator pitch is a useful tool that you can use in any number of situations from chance meetings to career fairs to job interview introductions.

Nobody had heard of the Baby Jogger when Diane McCary had her children; in fact, not too many women were even running. But when Diane was 30, she decided to give in to the urgings of her husband, a distance runner and triathlete, and try jogging. So she packed the playpen and the kids into the car and drove down to the local track in Greeley, Colorado. "i put the playpen in the middle of the track with the kids in it and ran around the track, with them crying the whole time. I'm going around and they're following me around in their playpen, watching me, screaming their lungs out. And I said, That's it. There's no way I can do this."'
Raising a family and keeping your commitment to sports and fitness doesn't have to be the difficult ordeal it might seem. In fact, as Diane McCary later found out, it's easy to be a great mom and a great athlete at the same time. All it takes are the right priorities and a little creativity.
Far from taking mothers away from their children, sports have brought the three families profiled here closer together. The children are involved in their parents' training and have grown to love sports and fitness for themselves. Parents and children share the same activities. They also share a sense of purpose, as well as the exhilaration, challenge, accomplishment and power that comes from mastering sports. (more…)

Believing in Students So They Believe In Themselves — Whole Child Education
Last week, I was so pleased to be part of this discussion with passionate educators and authors. I don't think I can do justice by trying to summarize, so find a bit of time and take a listen!

I can't stop admiring the choice of books that author suggests here. I believe these quotations are like the affirmations fro s self help book, only these are the guidelines for ll the teachers to discuss and follow. I believe that some students do lack confidence in them, that's why the teacher as a true mentor should show how to build self-confidence within a person and how to become independent in learning. The learners can start with consulting the best federal resume writers reviews to see what is more to the learning out there.

A wonderful book, thanks for the recommendation! I believe that the child should always feel confident.
Also, it should know that will always be able to find support from parents or teachers. At an early age is very important.
When the child grows up, it will help both.
During the training the child will look different resources that will help her to write essays or other written work.
For long search, we've included this top sites. - February 24, 2017 at 9:44 AM

The Birth of BTD
rev. 2
Here is the story of how BTD came about. Many have already heard it but here it is as suggested by a few people.
I had a friend that moved out of the country and we kept in touch via the first voice-chat system created (Mplayer). We were always trying out new technologies. I had always told him that he had a radio voice and should be a professional DJ or MC. One day he told me that he taken my advice and had his radio station on Live365 so I went and listened. He played mostly Latin and English rock with alot of voice-overs. I searched for a cumbias station to listen to and found none so I created one and it gradually became popular. I then told this girl I knew about the station and I had previously given her a few disco cds. She then suggested that I open a disco station also so I searched Live365 and found a few disco stations. They only played the common 70s or Italo and I went ahead and created one that was more specific to the Southern California disco styles. Live365 prompted for the BTD station website URL and I had none. In December, our company closed for the week between Christmas and New Year's so I caught up on my work. I searched the internet for a website to put on the radio station's URL link but found none. I made searches on just about every single keyword relevant to our "scene" and not a single link nor reference came up. I couldn't believe none of it had been documented. I figured that someone should do it and I felt I had enough documentation, knowledge and skills to get it going.
Backtodisco, the name title. Contrary to a singular belief, the name was not taken from the mixed cd sold at the local flea markets. The name was inspired by Theo Vaness' "Back To Music". It's just that the intro in the song pretty much summarized the purpose for the website. The website was created as a result of that extensive search on our unique era and style and the lack of notability on it. It is the first of its kind and was mainly intended as a tribute and base for historical documentation.
Finally, after all the preparations, it went live a couple of days after it was registered in May 13, 2003, with message board and all. It was a simple design and a lot of material still pending. Some of the first visitors were Joe Panic, Rick Shezoray, Copa Ray, Ralph Regency, Marty & Al Cirkis, and a few others. I had a picture of that first message board page but haven't been able to find it. Eventually, casual mentioning led to constant contemplation then finally serious organization of a disco reunion --- The Ranch Party !

text: Elio Motors' Future Looks Doubtful With $100,000 In The Bank And A $123 Million DeficitAlanis King1/08/17 11:56amFiled to: elio motorseliothree-wheeler2144EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Elio Motors, the company that keeps delaying its three-wheeler street car with a price so cheap it's almost too good to be true, may never get one of those cars on the market. If that doesn't come as a surprise to you, this may: Elio says it has about $100,000 in the bank and an over $123 million deficit. Advertisement That's correct. Elio's total deficit is well over a thousand times the amount of money it has in the bank. According to a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing sifted out by Shreveport, Louisiana news outlet KTBS, the company had $101,317 in the bank and $123,212,431 in accumulated deficit as of Sept. 30, 2016. That, according to the filing, is compared to $6,870,044 in cash and a deficit of $2,325,036 as of Dec. 31, 2015. Founded in 2009 after CEO Paul Elio "saw the soaring costs of the vehicles" people drive on a daily basis, Elio set out to provide a small, three-wheeled car advertised as getting up to 84 miles per gallon. There were questions about Elio and its viability from the beginning, and that really hasn't changed—but the price of its car has. Originally boasted as the $6,800 car, Elio's three-wheeler now has a base price of $7,300 under special circumstances. Advertisement Elio headed to Louisiana for its operations after eyeing a former Pontiac plant in Michigan, moving its production—or lack thereof—of three-wheelers into an old General Motors factory in Shreveport at the start of 2013. The company said Shreveport production would begin in 2014 and that it would hire 1,500 workers after the area was hit hard by GM layoffs, but Elio's car had continuous delays and KTBS reports that it has "yet to create a single job or dollar of revenue for the area." The delays pushed the car's release back from 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2016, and here we are, in 2017, without cars. KTBS reports that a comment made by Elio's Facebook page said 2018 is now the target date for its car. But don't think Elio is holding itself to 2018. Upon reserving a car, which requires a deposit ranging from $400 t0 $900, a customer must agree to these terms and conditions: Sponsored While maintaining my present place in line for delivery, I understand that currently there is no definite date set for production or delivery of my vehicle.Elio says it has 50,000 people with reservations on the three-wheeler, and had to resort to selling its prototype testing models to some of the people waiting. Advertisement But Shreveport mayor Cedric Glover thinks they're waiting for nothing. KTBS reports that Glover said those with a purchased reservation on the car should just count it as money lost. From KTBS: "Going into the fourth quarter this year, they only had $101,000 in cash on hand. So when you think about the actual amount of money that they've been expending, Paul Elio with a salary of over 250 thousand," said Glover.According to Glover, much of the blame can be attributed to Racer Trust, the company in charge of putting the GM plant to the best use for the community following the bankruptcy. He said the company had an obligation to bring new jobs to the facility following their bankruptcy, and despite companies like Deacon Air Conditioning and Land Rover vying for the production site, the property rests with Elio."If you look at Paul Elio from 2009, certainly by the time you get to 2011 and 2012, it's clear that what he is in fact is a dreamer and a schemer. It leads one to ask, what was the actual motivation behind committing these facilities, this equipment to Paul Elio and the Elio operation," said Glover.Jalopnik has reached out to Elio Motors for comment, and will update if or when we hear back.Recommended StoriesElio Motors Has Spent More Time Lobbying For Three-Wheel Cars Than Building Actual Cars Elio Motors Just Delayed Its 3-Wheeler Deliveries Again, AgainThe Elio Will Cost $7000 But Now You Have To Buy One If You Reserve ItAlanis firstname.lastname@example.com@alanisnkingAlanis King is the weekend editor of Jalopnik.

I've been toying with some background fluff for my DIY chapter for what seems like eons, but hav'nt even got a name for them yet. Comments and criticisms would be very welcome for what i've got so far.....
The chapter master strode purposfully down the centre of the long stone walled corridor, so deep in thought that he barely noticed those he passed, who halted and stamped to attention before him. He had been summoned to the communications centre scant minutes ago, after an unusual signal and request had been recieved from a ship barely detectable on the outskirts of the star system. It was the racial signature of the signal that so caught his attention. The door to the comms room slide silently open at his approach. He went straight to the senior tech station.
The duty operator knew who stood at his shoulder and a nervous shudder washed through him, but he did not take his eyes off the screen, totally focused.
"Master, the transmission was received six minutes ago from the direction of Rho 9, position of the sending ship determined two minutes later by deep scan and confirmed by triangulation."
"Play the message." The operators hands flew across his controls, and after a few seconds of static hiss an undeniably alien voice flowed out of the speakers.
" This is Farseer Adarrion of the Eldar race, requesting an audience with the command of the Starflyer chapter. I have information you will wish to hear." The speakers went dead.
"Thats it, master. No repeats, no request for for safe passage. The ship is holding position at our maximum sensor range, but we have a partial type identification. Its very small, barely larger than a Thunderhawk. 75% likelihood its a Phoenix." The chapter master turned to glance at his chief librarian, who had followed him into the room. To the unspoken question, the librarian gave the slightest of nods.
"Transmit the following ; "Permission granted. Lock in on this signal. Deviation will not be tolerated." Send once only. Then alert system defenses." The Chapter master left the room, followed by the librarian.
Exactly twelve hours later the Eldar farseer was led into the primary audience chamber, escorted by ten fully armed and armoured marines. The chapter master gestured to the only untaken seat in the room. With a polite tilt of his head the farseer sat. The escort took station around the room. Adarrion took stock of those who sat across from him, eight massive humans, all stone faced. Two were psychers, of some small talent. one was a priest of some kind. The chapter master, a competent individual for a human. The remaining men were merely lesser ranked spear carriers. None had uttered a word.
"I will be brief." said the farseer. "A new threat approaches from the east, an alien swarm bent on total destruction of all life in this galaxy. Soon they will strike at Macragge, with forces beyond reconing. The Ultramarines may not survive. I know they mentored the founding of your chapter. You would not wish that this will come to pass?"
"No." Replied the master. no one showed any emotion.
"This much only have i seen. If you send aid i do not know that it will arrive in time. A call for aid will reach you soon, but far too late. The Eldar cannot aid Calgar this time, yet we do not wish to see his chapter fall. I have no more to say." The farseer stood, and gave the slightest of nods to the assembled brethren, returned by the chapter master alone.
"Escort the farseer back to his ship."
The ranking officers of the Starflyer chapter sat passivly as the master gave voice to his thoughts.
"Unthinkable not to send aid. The Eldar spoke the truth that is plain, but to what purpose ? They do not seek to do good turns toward the realm of the Emperor. No good to ask. Ask not a question of the Eldar for they will answer both yes and no. We will dispatch aid , and i will ask the Lord Macragge myself after this threat is destroyed. Prepare the second and third battle companies, and strike force one and two. Ready the second fleet. We depart as soon as all is made ready."
Two weeks into the three month flight, the battlefleet recieved an urgent request for aid , transmitted in the name of Guilliman himself.
The next part of the story is obvious. They arrive too late, to find the entire first company lost and countless others as well. All those ultramarines initially charged with training the Starflyer chapter have fallen in battle. In deep mourning, they swear an oath to Calgar, to redeem their shame for arriving too late and to avenge those fallen brothers of the Ultramarines, and have striven to destroy Tyranid incursions with zeal, if not much skill, ever since. After all, they are a newly founded chapter.

Looks pretty good. But, its hard for me to see a Space Marine master allowing a Xenos onto his ship without having previous positive run ins with them. I might suggest a flashback for the chaptermaster(between the signal from the eldar ship and the meeting with the Farseer) by where their butts were saved/assisted by the Eldar during a battle or a warp storm or something. The transmission from the ship could reference the incident, thereby causing the flashback. Chapter master Bob flashed back sharply to the Demitrious Incident. It had been several decades since he had thought about the battle against the Greater Daemon Tz'achn'ea, but the blood spilt by the StarFlyers and Eldar to send the foul creature back to the warp had forged a rare Marine-Eldar bond between Bob and the Eldar Farseer Al You could have a different Farseer come and explain. (and indicate Farseer Al is somewhere else, but relayed this message.
Thats my 2 rough cents for the moment!
Thanks for the input MC, valid point and noted. I pulled the starflyer name out of nowhere, it was a nasty alien in a Peter Hamilton novel, and i had to call my chapter something. Now, its growing on me and i might stick with it. Rep for your assistance sir.

Needs more description of the Chapter in question. I understand this is an introduction, but even a Chapter of the latest 26th Founding will be hundreds of years old and will have developed some character. The Salamander book does this well, if a little overdone- from the moment you read the first page you know what Chapter you're dealing with.
Why does the racial signature catch his attention? I understand for dramatic suspense you need to hold off but you could allude to events akin to those MC Bone Giant suggests. And it is quite incredible that a Space Marine of the loyal flavor would allow an alien of any sort on his ship without extenuating circumstances. Which the reader must be made to understand.
Though I like the 'deviation will not be tolerated' line. If this situation is to come to pass, if a xenos is to set foot on an Astartes vessel, it has to be tense and potentially volatile.
You switch perspective to the Farseer, and I like the way you handled it. I think it could be expanded on a little bit if you extend this story with more description and characterization.
I like how you expose the Eldar's capacity for ulterior motives and deceit. I hope you are intending to use them later in the story, and intend to showcase whatever selfish plan they have in mind.
I wouldn't refer to a Space Marine Chapter as 'less skillful' as an older one. Space Marines are Space Marines. They have been trained by the Ultramarines, most wise adherents of the Codex Astartes, and since their Founding have gone through the crucible of battle. Perhaps their history is less glorified, but they will be mighty warriors all.
I like the concept. And it's not often you see a DIY from the Ultramarines line.
Keep it up.
I like it. However, as stated before, the chapter itself should be expounded on more. All we know is that they are a radical Ultramarines Successor Chapter (lol). They also knew that the 'Nids were coming. While the chapter may be awesome and epic and unique (and an Ultramarines successor...), we don't know it yet. Tell us of their heroism and/or why they would allow a xenos on their ship.
Terminator armor going critical would be like Three Mile Island only very, VERY angry, and carrying a hammer.
LO rules in a nutshell: Don't post unit costs, be polite, rep posts containing of win.
Thanks for all the encouragement and kind words so far. Gives me lots to think about.

Fulfill the Higher Plan for Healing Whatever Pains You
If one day you bang your elbow and seven years later the same spot still aches, and now radiating pains are appearing in your fingers and shoulder, you would start to suspect that something in your body's system was amiss! You would conclude, virtually beyond any doubt, that your original injury never healed properly.
By the very fact of its continuing presence in our body, we intuitively know that such pains are not supposed to linger on and on. But speaking of a pain that won't go away, that spreads and compromises other parts of the self, what about that ache that appeared that day your close friend betrayed your trusting heart? Why doesn't it seem odd to us that this pain should persist and, in some cases, worsen as it so often does?
The real question before us is twofold: we have to ask ourselves not only why these types of mental and emotional wounds never stop hurting us, but also why it is that their hidden cause -- that "slash" somewhere in our soul -- just won't heal.
By the very absence of the healing that ought naturally follow any form of injury, we should be able to deduce that certain counter forces must be at work within us. There have to be unseen anti-healing forces with a vested interest in our continued suffering. If we can see the truth of this startling fact then we should also realize how vital it is for us to shed light on this unseen enemy of natural healing. Such insight is not just necessary, it is critical if we going to be able to help ourselves realize a true self-healing.
Let's begin this investigation with a simple illustration. Imagine for a moment the familiar pain that comes with having eaten ice cream too quickly, when one's mouth or throat gets that painful freeze feeling. When we experience a pain like this, we don't worry about what to do because, in this instance, we know a certain truth about the nature of this pain that prevents us from getting embroiled in it. What is this truth?
We simply know that this pain will pass as soon as its cause goes away. We may hop around a bit, but we know better than to leap into fear, blame, or self-loathing. Yet, in sharp contrast to this natural wisdom, whenever we get handed a cold-hearted blow from someone or something in life, everything about how we handle such moments changes. Our pain, instead of passing with its cause, persists. And rather than healing, our hurt gets constantly refreshed with every remembrance of that initial moment. Why is this so? What is happening within us? Follow the next few ideas closely to see these truths at work in you.
First, as we now suspect, there is at work in us an undetected nature that will not allow the cause of our pain to pass so that the healing may take place. Can we see that we have parts of us that just won't let go of being angry with someone who got angry with us? But that's not all!
Can we also see that these same smoldering parts of ourselves would have us believe that being on fire is the best way to get over being burned? Of course! Once we bring such self-destructive behavior out into the light we can also see that these actions must be unconscious to us; no one would consciously harm him- or herself.
Any part of us trying to drag us into a heated stew over "who" or "what" should be blamed for our pain is secretly working to divide and conquer us. This spiritual fact cannot be overstated, nor should the understanding of its rescuing power be underestimated, which is why we will now bring light into this dark deception.
In that moment when we are thrown into emotional conflict, regardless of its initial cause, the first step this in-the-dark nature takes to deceive us is to direct our awareness away from the actual hurt we feel. It accomplishes this mean feat by its second step: it misleads us into placing our attention on the enemy outside of us, that person or condition that it points to as being responsible for our pain.
Once this unconscious self has succeeded in dividing us up in this manner, we now have less than half the possible powers that we need to heal. And if this wasn't bad enough, the remaining forces of light needed for our healing are themselves now half compromised by subsequent negative reactions that tell us to lash out at whatever it is that has been blamed for our pain!
The next time any pain -- be it an old familiar one, or an altogether new ache -- pushes itself in upon you, come wide-awake to yourself and remember this last important step: Do not try to do one thing with any psychological pain that passes through you, other than to remain as awake as you can to its presence within you. Then, into this conscious self-awareness bring the following new understanding: this pain is not you but, in reality, constitutes a calling out from the injured part of you to a Higher Power to be healed.
Your job is to see that the call gets through. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you will do your part in fulfilling this higher plan for healing what pains you -- and agree to simply hold this hurt of yours in the light of your own higher self-awareness -- then the healing you hope for cannot be denied and has, in some ways, already occurred. All you need to do is remain true to this principle as it works itself out within you. The rest is done for you.

I have been writing this food column for almost four and a half years now, and recently a friend of mine asked me how I came up with all my ideas to write about each week. I told him I had this long checklist made up of possible food articles and I just checked them off week after week. I probably had enough for 10 years! "Really?" he said.

If I had to choose between a 4-year degree, and the right combination of books, I'd go with the books.
Not 50 Shades of Grey or Captain Underpants, but books that fundamentally change how you think about the world.
Books that, when you've finished them, have caused you to "pivot" your mindset. Ones that make you think in a new and more informed way.
Over the last four years, since I started reading heavily, I'd estimate that I've finished 300 books.
Reading a ton isn't hard, but finding pivotal books is grueling. Out of those 300 books, only 15 made my list.
Since realizing what a small percentage of books I was reading were having significant impacts on my mindset, I've stopped focusing on mass consumption and instead am focusing on finding more pivotal books.
If you, too, are trying to find books that, when you put them down, have added a new color to the world, here's my list.
1. Antifragile, by Nassim Taleb
"If true wealth consists in worriless sleeping, clear conscience, reciprocal gratitude, absence of envy, good appetite, muscle strength, physical energy, frequent laughs, no meals alone, no gym class, some physical labor (or hobby), good bowel movements, no meeting rooms, and periodic surprises, then it is largely subtractive (elimination of iatrogenics)."
Key lessons:
- Be the hydra: Develop systems where if one part of you is cut off, you grow back stronger. Entrepreneurship, creative works, freelance, supports this. White collar makes it hard.
- Small damage benefits human systems: Lifting weights damages you briefly, then makes you stronger. Fasting is hard but makes you healthier.
- Removal is better than addition: Cure illness by finding the cause, not by adding medication. Cure unhappiness by finding the source, not by adding indulgence.
2. Letters from a Stoic, by Seneca
"Let our aim be a way of life not diametrically opposed to, but better than that of the mob."
Key Lessons:
- We can't control our fate, only our reactions: Complaining, worrying, dreading, regret, and any other past or future-minded emotions are useless. Recognize them, then let them pass.
- Self-improvement above all else.
- Create internal happiness: Non-reliance on external things for happiness (stuff, people, money, etc.) makes you impervious to loss.
- Be mindful of your inputs: The people you spend time with, the information you read, the environment you're in all effect you immensely. Cull negative inputs and seek out positive ones.
- Find a mentor: Whether or not you can get direct access to them, model yourself after someone, emulate their successes, skip their failures.
3. Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
"She was fifteen when it occurred to her for the first time that women did not run railroads and that people might object. To hell with that, she thought- and never worried about it again."
Key Lessons:
- Do what you were meant to do, and do it big.
- Impersonal egoism isn't bad: Doing what's in your best long-term self-interest, and expecting everyone else to do the same, can be the best for all.
- Forget the haters: Don't try to make everyone happy, if you're doing anything worthwhile, there will be haters, and you should embrace that.
4. The 4-Hour Workweek / Body, by Tim Ferriss
"Being busy is a form of laziness— lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective— doing less— is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest."
Key Lessons:
- Popular / common tactics are usually inefficient: Most systems have a shortcut, you just have to find it.
- Money is not about salary: Money is about freedom, and how you leverage it to create the life you want.
- Your body is malleable: You're not stuck a certain way, you can easily mold the clay, you just need the right tactics.
5. Mastery, by Robert Greene
"Engaged in the creative process we feel more alive than ever, because we are making something and not merely consuming, Masters of the small reality we create. In doing this work, we are in fact creating ourselves."
Key Lessons:
- Mastery comes from mentorship, not study: If you want to truly excel, then you need someone who will take you under your wing (and who you can benefit) to rapidly accelerate your education.
- You and your mentors will break up: At a certain point, you must break up with your mentor and move to the next one before they start holding you back.
- Social norms around work breed mediocrity: Most people never become masters of their craft. To become one, you must not be like most people.
6. The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield
"All that counts is that, for this day, for this session, I have overcome Resistance."
Key Lessons:
- Resistance is pervasive, and must be fought: The hard part of writing isn't writing, it's fighting the desire not to write.
- Fear must drive action: The most afraid you are of a work or calling, the more you must do it.
- Friends and family will (likely) hold you back (unintentionally): Others will subconsciously attack your success to make themselves feel better about their mediocrity. Don't eat with fat people, don't work with/near losers, don't drink with alcoholics.
7. The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg
"…more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day [aren't] actual decisions, but habits."
Key Lessons:
- Cue – Routine – Reward: All habits follow this pattern. You can break it at the routine level, replacing bad habits with good ones.
- Keystone habits lift the rest: Certain habits (exercise, healthy eating, play) improve all other habits.
- Cravings are habits: Anytime you feel like you "need" something there's a cue and routine there that you must identify.
8. Willpower Instinct, by Kelly McGonigal
"People who have better control of their attention, emotions, and actions are better off almost any way you look at it."
Key Lessons:
- Productivity mostly boils down to Willpower: All "productivity hacks" are related to willpower or habits. Understand how those two work, and you don't need productivity resources.
- Willpower is a resource: Using willpower on one thing drains it for another, e.g. dieting makes you more likely to cheat on your spouse. Use your willpower deliberately, or hack your environment not to need it.
- Willpower is a muscle: You can train your willpower and increase your reserves of it through using it, healthy habits, and meditation.
9. The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide, by James Fadiman
"The increased awareness offered by psychedelics comes in different forms. In higher doses taken in safe and sacred settings, they facilitate recognition of one's intimate relationship with all living things. In moderate doses, they facilitate awareness of the intricate psychodynamic structures of one's individual consciousness. In low doses, they facilitate awareness of solutions to technical and artistic problems."
Key Lessons:
- School / media lies, psychedelics aren't particularly harmful: No one has died or suffered physical damage from LSD, mushrooms, DMT, etc.
- Psychedelics can be a massive creative boon: Properly administered, they've helped creatives work through complex problems in ways their sober minds couldn't.
- Micro-doses of psychedelics could outperform caffeine as a "productivity enhancer": Maybe one day we'll have our morning tab instead of coffee.
10. Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse
"…for you know that soft is stronger than hard, water stronger than rock, love stronger than force."
Key Lessons:
- No one is impervious to temptation: The most refined, spiritual person can still fall prey to vices. Don't assume you're above it.
- Meditation, self-knowledge, are lifetime arts: They are not something you "finish," but rather must always be working on.
- You only have yourself: Everything else can be lost or taken, self-reliance should be your only reliance.
11. Blue Zones, by Dan Buettner
"You can't just focus on the Mediterranean diet or any other diet. If you live by yourself on the ninth floor of an apartment building and you don't know your neighbors and you have no friends, you can eat the perfect Mediterranean diet and it may not do you as much good."
Key Lessons:
- Longevity is a matter of habit, not genetics: You can create a long life for yourself by emulating the right practices.
- Modern society is killing us: Most of "modern life" is against those things that create longevity. And life expectancy is decreasing at the upper ends.
- To live forever: Healthy diet, strong social connections, plenty of rest, herbal tea, red wine, religion/spirituality, and low stress.
12. Deep Work, by Cal Newport
"To build your working life around the experience of flow produced by deep work is a proven path to deep satisfaction."
Key Lessons:
- Great work requires deep work, and most work is now shallow. Interruptions, technology, responding, and pseudo-productive tasks distract us from doing our best, most important, work.
- Create a deep work environment: Set aside a period of your day where you can become deeply immersed in your work, free from distraction or obligation.
- Time != Productivity: It's not about how many hours you work for, but how much deep work you get in. 3 deep hours are better than 9 shallow hours.
13. The Talent Code, by Daniel Coyle
"…experiences where you're forced to slow down, make errors, and correct them— as you would if you were walking up an ice-covered hill, slipping and stumbling as you go— end up making you swift and graceful without your realizing it."
Key Lessons:
- Talent is a myth: No study has shown that humans have certain "talents," rather, they show the opposite, that skill is entirely a result of effective practice.
- Talent is an excuse: People will explain away others' successes as "talent," but it's an excuse for their failure to excel. Don't be one of those people. Assume you can become equally good at anything with the right kind of practice.
- Struggle is where you learn: The key to deep practice and rapid skill acquisition is the right amount of struggle. Enough to be challenged and in flow, not too much to be disparaged and overwhelmed.
14. How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie
"Say to yourself over and over: "My popularity, my happiness and sense of worth depend to no small extent upon my skill in dealing with people.""
Key Lessons:
- Smile. I suck at this. I blame my Scandinavian heritage.
- *Use people's names: * Everyone likes their name, use it more, but not too much.
- Don't tell, get them to want: Getting someone to want to do something will always be better than telling them to do it.
- Never argue: The heat of an argument prevents effective discourse. Bring down the emotional level, and then talk reasonably
- Be vulnerable, don't criticize: Let other people save face, and highlight your weaknesses before highlighting others'.
15. Getting Results the Agile Way, by J.D. Meier
"Rather than a static set of dreams and ideals, test your results along the way and carve out the path that works for you."
Key Lessons:
- General productivity: This is the only productivity book that's ever "stuck" with me, and I still use some form of its tactics 4 years later.
- Break down your goals: Have big macro goals, and break them down to the month, week, and day till they're manageable.
- Make everything actionable: If it's not actionable, you'll procrastinate on it. Keep your to-do's clear and focused.

Abstract | Cyber security is a growing concern, especially in open grids, where attack propagation is easy because of prevalent collaborations among thousands of users and hundreds of institutions. The collaboration rules that typically govern large science experiments as well as social networks of scientists span across the institutional security boundaries. A common concern is that the increased openness may allow malicious attackers to spread more readily around the grid. We consider how to optimally respond to attacks in open grid environments. To show how and why attacks spread more readily around the grid, we first discuss how collaborations manifest themselves in the grids and how this collaboration model affects the security risk model of grid participants. We present a new grid model and use optimization techniques to calculate the security risk associated with each grid participant. Given an attack scenario, our optimization model aims to minimize threat levels at unaffected participants while maximizing the uninterrupted scientific production (continuing collaborations). By manipulating some of the collaboration rules (e.g., suspending a collaboration or shutting down a site), the model finds optimal response scenarios to contain an attack scenario. |
