Energy assistance available to Minnesotans
WILLMAR -- The Minnesota Department of Commerce recently announced the state will receive $73 million in energy assistance for low-income Minnesotans that cannot afford heating costs over the winter months. The Minnesota Energy Assistance Program will administer the program for Minnesota residents that are eligible.
Sen. Gary Kubly, DFL-Granite Falls, encourages residents to apply for funding if they may have difficulty affording heating costs. He stated, "The EAP is a key program to help low-income families, seniors, and the disabled afford high heating costs and stay in their homes during these difficult economic times. I hope to get the word out to everyone that may be eligible in our district."
While $73 million from the federal government is less than what Minnesota has received in previous years, there is a possibility that additional funds will be provided depending on the severity of the winter. Customers with 50 percent or less of the state median income -- $43,050 for a family of four -- may qualify.
Those who qualify must apply for assistance with the local service provider in their area. A list of local service providers and more information about this program can be found on the Minnesota Department of Commerce website link attached here. You may also call the Minnesota Department of Commerce by dialing 1-800-657-3710.

Chapter 3: Planning of the Wedding
Today I saw Zuko, Mai, Suki, Ty Lee, Azula, Toph and the Kyoshi Warriors come at the gates of the Southern Tribe. Upon seeing me, they smiled.
"Congratulations!" Zuko said.
"We are so happy for you!" Azula said.
"It's s-s-so c-c-cold!" Mai shivered.
"Oh right! Here are some Water Tribe coats and mittens," I said handing some clothes to them. They gratefully took the clothes and went into my house to get changed. Once they came out, we began talking.
"So, Mai, Azula, Suki, Toph and I could be the bridesmaids," Ty Lee said cheerfully.
"Zuko, do you want to be my Best Man?" Aang asked.
"Sure thing," he replied.
"Okay, so we must get traditional Southern Water Tribe decorations," Sokka said.
"Don't worry Katara. This will be your BEST wedding ever!" Ty Lee said.
And so it started. We helped with the cooking, planning, and decorating. At one point, Toph and I got into a full blown argument over how Toph knows NOTHING about Southern Tribe culture. We both argued until Zuko put his foot down and separated us. Eventually, I apologized and we forgave each other.
After two days of stress, it was finally over.
"Thank you so much for your help. I don't know what we would have done without you," I said. They smiled.
"There's one thing I want to know: when did you and Aang fall in love?" Sokka asked.

"After years of violent confrontation with the Egyptian government and society, and defeat by the country's security forces, al-Jama'a al-Islamiya and, later, segments of al-Jihad have accepted their failure to radically change society and politics, and to recognize the harm that their violent activities, formerly justified using religious concepts, have inflicted on Muslims and non-Muslims alike. These developments have given rise to a Jihadi revisionism that renounces violence and redefines attitudes toward the state, politics, and society. The same Islamic concepts that once were used to justify violence have been redefined to sanction and urge nonviolent social and political activism. Revisionist documents outline a careful cost-benefit analysis that effectively rules out the use of violence to achieve the groups' goals. A variety of factors prevent al-Jama'a and al-Jihad from fully implementing these reformed views, such as the Egyptian regime's refusal to allow members of either group to reintegrate into the country's political and social fabric and al-Jihad's specific challenge of disseminating revisionist ideas throughout its fragmented movement that still largely condones violence. However, Jihadi revisionism has led both groups to forego violence and shifted Egypt's Islamist spectrum toward moderation."--Page 1.

I am Indian and absolutely dig into any type of Indian food. Unfortunately, the fare served here in Amsterdam is repetitive and monotonous as nearly all restaurants serve the same Punjabi food. I decided to try Nepali food for a change and visited the "Himalayan Kitchen" near Leidseplein for dinner with a couple of friends. We ordered white rice and a preparation of marinated lamb piecs in thick gravy, which also came with a black eyed pea preparation and a nice carrot and cabbage salad. We also went for the baked momos and roasted corn served with home-made butter. The food was excellent and had the right amount of spice. Of course, it was not too hot, which was the case as the food was customized according to Dutch taste. Nevertheless the food was very good and quite filling. I also tried the butter tea to end my meal, which was also well-prepared. There are a huge number of Nepal people in India, but they are more famous for Indo-Chinese or north-Indian food than Nepali food. It felt good to taste good nearly authentic Nepalese food for the first time. Excellent change from the typical Punjabi food that we get in Indian restaurants. Not very cheap, but the food is worth the cost. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try Nepali food or want a break from regular Indian fare.

Kyoso's Hunters were flying creatures of the Shadowlands spawned from Kyoso no Oni. In 1168 they attacked the Kaiu Wall. [1]
Creation Edit
Kyoso's Hunters began as Minor Oni, who were taken during the Time of Demons by the Oni Lord Kyoso no Oni and transformed to do her bidding, granting them a tiny fraction of her power. With the capacity of detecting tainted humans, they were created with the sole purpose of hunting and slaughtering the Lost. [2]
Appearance Edit
The thin but powerful creatures with natural weapons had no uniform appearance. They were capable of shifting between bipedal, used for combat, and quadruped, which allowed increased rate of movement. The hunters were not particularly intelligent, and could only follow commands. [2]

Unique vintage fashion and one of a kind jewelry
I first started my shop because I loved searching for amazing vintage designer pieces. At some point my personal collection got a little bit out of hand, so that I needed to sell some of it to create extra room for new pieces.
Once I had my shop going, I found I spent more and more time on Etsy, engaging with my customers, fulfilling orders. I got so passionate about my store that I decided to create my own line of jewelry to complement my vintage clothing items and to express my own creativity in a way that combines the best of both worlds - vintage designs with modern color palettes and inspirational trends.
I get inspired by the world around me, both real and digital. I can spend an afternoon in the park browsing through Instagram or Pinterest on my phone, taking in the latest street style influences and mood boards, then go home and paint my jewelry, slowly, stone by stone, with every piece adding a little bit of magic to the world.
Each piece is made with a lot of love and attention to detail and is guaranteed one of kind.
I hope you enjoy my store and don't forget to follow me on my fashion journey via Facebook, Instagram (search for zitruss) or my blog.

Object Functions
This is the group of functions intended for working with graphic objects relating to any specified chart.
Every graphical object should have a name unique within one chart, including its subwindows. Changing of a name of a graphic object generates two events: event of deletion of an object with the old name, and event of creation of an object with a new name.
After an object is created or an object property is modified it is recommended to call the ChartRedraw() function, which commands the client terminal to forcibly draw a chart (and all visible objects in it).

Understanding Tarot Cards
- Course Delivery: On Demand
- Language: English
This course is about understanding tarot cards - where they come from, what each of the 78 cards mean, and how to do a reading with them for yourself or for others.
The target audience are those who have an interest in tarot cards and/or the occult and divination.
The course looks at the history of the tarot, the different types of playing cards available, the difference between the major and minor arcana, what each of the suits mean, how to perform a reading, the warning behind the cards, how to interpret the cards - the position they are in, whether they're upright or reversed and when they literally 'jump' out at you!
Some students may have been for a reading before, others may just be curious. You can do readings for others (and charge), but we don't cover this aspect (making a business of it). Its more for understanding how to do a reading - for yourself and for others. Once your skills increase, there is nothing to stop you from charging for readings.
We look at example spreads and you have a chance to do a reading yourself. You don't need to have a set of tarot cards in order to do the course, but once the course is over (if you are to practice your new-found skills), then you will need to get a pack
The course will take approx 1-2 hours to complete. We go through each of the card meanings, and then we look at a reading.
The course is ideal for the curious and for those who just want to 'know more' about tarot cards, what each of the cards mean and how to do a reading. The course instructor got her first pack of cards over 20 years ago, and over the years, she has learned the meaning of the cards from person experience. She believes that the cards never lie.
This course is for those with an interest in the occult and in tarot cards (major and minor arcana)
- No previous knowledge of anything to do with tarot cards is assumed
- You don't need to own a pack of tarot cards in order to do this course

Design of Experiments (DOE)

1 MINITAB ASSISTANT WHITE PAPER This paper explains the research conducted by Minitab statisticians to develop the methods and data checks used in the Assistant in Minitab 17 Statistical Software. Design of Experiments (DOE) Overview The Assistant DOE includes a subset of the DOE features available in core Minitab and uses a sequential experimentation process that simplifies the process of creating and analyzing designs. The process begins with screening designs to identify the most important factors. Then, we provide higher-resolution designs to look for curvature and determine a final model that can be used to identify factor settings that optimize the response. In this paper, we outline the steps of the experimentation process. We provide information on how we determined which designs to offer in the Assistant, including the role of power. We also discuss the process of detecting and fitting curvature in the data. The paper also describes the method used for analyzing the data and identifying the best model. The paper also provides additional information about the following data checks in the Assistant Report Card: Blocks Unusual data Detection Ability
2 Method Sequential experimentation process The DOE features in the Assistant guide users through a sequential process to design and analyze one or more experiments to identify the most important factors and find the factor settings that optimize a response. A sequential experimentation approach uses a set of smaller experiments where the results at each stage guide the experimentation at the next stage. An advantage of the sequential approach is that at each stage, only a small number of experimental trials are run so that you are less likely to waste resources on unproductive trials. The Assistant provides a subset of the DOE features available in core Minitab in a structured format that simplifies the process of creating and analyzing designs. The steps in the process are: 1. Create a screening design for 6 to 15 factors. 2. Fit a screening model that includes the main effects and analyze the results to find the most important factors. 3. Create a modeling design based on the results of step 2 that includes the 25 most important factors. 4. Fit a linear model that includes main effects and 2-way interactions and analyze the results and look for evidence of curvature in the relationship between the factors and the response. 5. If curvature is not detected in step 4, use that model to identify factor settings that optimize the response. 6. If curvature is detected in step 4, the Assistant recommends that you add points for curvature to the design. 7. Fit a quadratic model that includes square terms to model the curvature and analyze the results. 8. Using the final model, identify factor settings that optimize the response. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 2
3 The following sections provide more detailed information on these aspects of Assistant DOE: Screening designs Modeling designs Fitting the model Screening designs Typically, you begin the sequential experimentation process with a large number of potential factors and then you eliminate the ones with little effect on the response. Screening designs are experimental designs that are intended to identify the few most important factors from a larger set of factors. In the Assistant, screening designs are offered for 6 to 15 factors. Type of design The Assistant screening designs are Plackett-Burman designs, a special type of Resolution III 2-level designs. There are two primary advantages of Plackett-Burman designs: They allow for the estimation of the main effects of the factors using very few experimental runs (as few as 12). Because experimental runs can be expensive to perform, this makes these designs more cost-effective. There is only partial or fractional confounding between the main effects and two-factor interactions. Effects that cannot be estimated separately from one another are said to be confounded. In Plackett-Burman designs, the confounding is considered partial because the contribution of each effect is only a fraction of the full size of the interaction effect. We determined that, for the purposes of screening, it was a reasonable approach to use the Plackett-Burman designs that estimate main effects only and do not estimate interaction terms. Screening designs are intended to include a large number of factors. Because at least one run is required for each term in the model, and the number of interaction terms increases faster than the number of main effects, for most situations it is not practical or cost-effective to fit a model with interactions. Additionally, in most cases, only a small number of factors explain most of the effects on the response. The goal of a screening design is to identify these factors, and Plackett- Burman designs enable users to identify these important main effects. Furthermore, as stated earlier, because the confounding between terms in Plackett-Burman designs is only partial, it is less likely that a significant main effect is in reality a significant 2-factor interaction. Power and folding When we created the design catalog, our goal was to only make available designs that had adequate power. We calculated the power for all the designs and eliminated certain designs due to low power, including the 12-run Plackett-Burman design for 10 or 11 factors. For designs with 10 or 11 factors, only the 20-run Plackett-Burman design is available. We also eliminated the designs for 16, 17, and 18 factors because of low power and the higher number of runs. For more information on the specific power for the designs, see the section on Detection ability. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 3
4 For designs with 6 to 9 factors, we allow folding, which adds runs to the experiment, increasing the precision and power of the design. In some cases, it may be desirable to add runs to a design to increase the likelihood of detecting important effects. With folding, new runs are added to the design in which some or all the factor levels are reversed by switching low and high levels of the factors. Folding also eliminates the partial confounding between main effects and two-factor interactions, which reduces the bias of the main effect estimates due to confounding. The Detection Ability section in the Create Screening Design Summary Report provides information to help users determine whether the design has enough power to detect effects of adequate size. Modeling designs Once 2 to5 important factors are identified, Minitab recommends creating a modeling design to obtain a model that can be used to identify factor settings that optimize the response. Type of design The modeling designs for 2 to5 factors are all full-factorial or resolution V designs. These designs can be used to fit all main effect and 2-factor interaction terms without any confounding between the terms. Some or all of the higher-order terms (e.g., 3-factor interactions) may be confounded with the terms in the model. However, higher-order terms can often be assumed to be negligible compared to main effect and 2-factor interaction terms. When we created the design catalog, our goal was to only make available designs that have adequate power. As a result, we eliminated the 2-factor design with 4 runs and instead we use a replicated 4-run design for 2 factors. Center points and modeling curvature The modeling designs in Assistant also include center points to check for the presence of curvature in the data. These are points where all the continuous factors are set midway between the low and high settings. If there is no curvature, then the mean response at the center point equals the average of the mean response of the factors at their low and high settings (the corners of the design space). Curvature is detected when the average mean response at the center points is significantly greater or less than the average mean response of the factors at their low and high settings. Although center points can detect curvature, they don t provide enough information to model the curvature. To model the curvature, square terms are needed, which requires adding more points to the design. These additional points convert the design to a face-centered central composite design. This is a form of response surface design, which makes it possible to fit a quadratic model that has linear main effects, all 2-factor interactions, and square terms of all continuous factors. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 4
5 Fitting models using backward selection We explored several methods of fitting the models and determined that backward selection using an of 0.10 was the best approach. When you fit a model, Minitab starts by including all possible terms. Then, one by one, Minitab removes the least significant term, while maintaining the hierarchy of the model. Hierarchy means that, if an interaction term is significant, then the linear terms of both factors that form the interaction must also be included in the model. This is a form of backward selection and is intended to automate a process of model selection that is typically done by hand. In all the designs in Assistant DOE, the terms are independent or (in the case of square terms) nearly so. Therefore, multicollinearity, which indicates factors are correlated with one another, is not likely to occur. Multicollinearity can cause stepwise procedures to miss the best model. Using = 0.10 rather than the commonly used = 0.05 helps to increase the power of the tests, which increases the likelihood that important terms remain in the model. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 5
6 Data Checks Blocks Blocks are used in experimental designs to minimize bias and error due to external influences on the experiment, such as noise variables, missing variables, or differences in how the runs in each block were performed. By placing experimental runs performed together in blocks, you can determine whether differences exist between blocks and account for these differences in the model. Objective In Assistant DOE, you can include replicates of the design when creating a modeling design and can add axial points to a modeling design to fit curvature in the model. Often, replicates and axial points are performed at different times or under different conditions than runs in the base design. When runs are performed at different times or conditions, it is best practice to account for possible effects due to different conditions. Method To account for possible differences in experimental conditions for replicates or axial points and the base design, Minitab places replicates and axial points in separate blocks. Specifically, in modeling designs, Minitab places replicates of the base design in separate blocks in the model. In quadratic designs, Minitab places the axial points used to detect curvature in the design in a separate block. Results To be consistent with the treatment of other terms in the model, blocks are evaluated using the backward elimination method. The report card states whether the block term is statistically significant, indicating that there are differences across the blocks. If a difference exists between blocks, consider investigating the cause to determine if there were any inconsistencies in the experimental conditions or procedures. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 6
7 Status Condition Blocks are in the final model Blocks are significant. Because the runs in each block are typically performed at different times, the significant difference in blocks indicates that conditions may have changed over time. This difference could be due to external influences on the experiment, such as noise variables, missing variables that should have been included in the experiment, or differences in how the runs in each block were performed. Consider investigating the cause of the difference between the blocks. Blocks are not in the final model Blocks are not significant. Because the runs in each block are typically performed at different times, this result indicates that there is no evidence of differences in the experimental conditions over time. Unusual Data In the Assistant DOE procedures, we define unusual data as observations with large standardized residuals, a common measure used to identify unusual data in model-fitting procedures (Neter et al., 1996). Because unusual data can have a strong influence on the results, you may need to correct the data to make the analysis valid. Objective We wanted to determine how large the standardized residuals need to be to signal that a data point is unusual. Method We developed our guidelines for identifying unusual observations based on the standard DOE procedure in Minitab (Stat > DOE > Factorial > Analyze Factorial Design and Stat > DOE > Response Surface > Analyze Response Surface Design). Results The standardized residual equals the value of a residual,, divided by an estimate of its standard deviation. In general, an observation is considered unusual if the absolute value of the standardized residual is greater than 2. However, this guideline is somewhat conservative. You would expect approximately 5% of all observations to meet this criterion by chance with large data sets (if the errors are normally distributed). However, with small experimental data sets, few if any observations will be flagged by chance, and it is good practice to investigate the cause of unusual values. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 7
8 When checking for unusual data, the Assistant Report Card displays the following status indicators: Status Condition No standardized residuals 2 There are no unusual data points. Unusual data can have a strong influence on the results. One standardized residual 2 One data point has a large residual and is not well fit by the model. This point is marked in red on the Diagnostic Report and is in row X of the worksheet. Because unusual data can have a strong influence on the results, try to identify the cause for its unusual nature. Correct any data entry or measurement errors. Consider performing trials associated with special causes again and redoing the analysis. More than one standardized residual 2 x data points have large residuals and are not well fit by the model. These points are marked in red on the Diagnostic Report. You can hover over a point or use Minitab s brushing feature to identify the worksheet rows. Because unusual data can have a strong influence on the results, try to identify the cause for their unusual nature. Correct any data entry or measurement errors. Consider performing trials associated with special causes again and redoing the analysis. Detection ability When performing designed experiments, it is useful to know what effect size a design is likely to detect prior to collecting data. If the design isn t powerful enough to detect the desired effect size, it may be appropriate to include more runs in the design. However, because including more runs in a design can be expensive, it is important to determine whether the additional power is necessary. Objective We wanted to provide users with information about the effect size their design can detect at 60% and 80% power levels. We also wanted to provide users with information about the effect sizes for design that include additional runs when available. For screening designs with 6 to9 factors, users can choose to include 12 or 24 runs in their design. For modeling designs, users can include replicates of the base design, increasing the total number of runs in the design. Method We computed the power and the effect size that can be detected for each design in the Assistant. The power is the probability of finding a factor effect to be statistically significant. The effect sizes are in standard deviation units. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 8
9 Results The Summary report displays the effect sizes you can detect with your design with 60% power and 80% power. For screening designs where a larger (folded) design is available, the report also specifies what size effect can be detected with 80% power in the larger design. For modeling designs where more replicates are available, the report specifies what effect size can be detected with 80% power with additional replication. Then, the user can judge whether the selected design is appropriate and weigh the advantages of using a design with more runs when available. See Appendix A for specific information about the effect sizes each design can detect at 60% power and 80% power. The following image is an example of the power information provided in the Summary report. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) 9

11 Appendix A: Detection ability We computed the power and the effect size that can be detected for each design in the Assistant. The power is the probability of finding a factor effect to be statistically significant. The effect sizes are in standard deviation units. The effect size associated with a model term is twice the term s coefficient in the true model equation. In a screening model, the effect size has a simple interpretation: the change in the mean response when a factor changes from its low level to its high level.

Witnessing the destruction caused by Brisbane's 2011 floods from the distance of New Zealand was a turning point in Sarah Rota's life.
She says watching the flood from afar made her feel helpless, and she knew then that she had to do something significant to help.
"I was horrified at the devastation and how widespread it was and I knew a lot of families and friends back here were joining the mud army and I just felt there must be something more that people can do," she says.
Inspired to help, when Sarah returned home, she joined Red Cross, an organisation where she felt she could make the most impact.
When Cyclone Marcia hit Central Queensland in February this year, she put up her hand to help in Red Cross' recovery efforts.
Sarah was sent to Central Queensland as an emergency services volunteer working on community recovery. She found herself providing personal support to those most affected, working as part of a team visiting people in outlying towns: the isolated, the elderly, those with very little money and food; people who felt they didn't have a voice and were not sure where to go.
She says she was struck by the number of people in the community who needed the assistance that Red Cross provided.
"I felt the overwhelming need people had for support and a listening ear," she says. "Sometimes it's just enough for people to know that someone cares and they are not alone in facing their struggles.
Sarah says she was drawn to Red Cross as she was looking for an organisation with clearly defined structures and roles during an emergency.
"I know a lot of people were turned away in 2011 because they weren't with the right organisation, and you just can't go and help randomly. I figured that Red Cross would put you in the best place. It's pretty exciting for me to be able to feel a part of something and at the same time to be able to feel like you are making a difference."
So what's the biggest thing Sarah gets out of volunteering?
"On my last deployment, [the 2013 Bundaberg flood] I remember telling my husband 'I know that I am right where I am meant to be', and that's only happened a couple of times in my life where I have just known that I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing.
"Even though at the end of the day you are exhausted and tired and it can be stressful and draining you still feel like you have accomplished something and it's all worth it.
"You feel like you are making a difference."
Sarah says she values the fact that Red Cross provides specialised training in emergency services.
"Red Cross provides the training then when you're out on the job if you are wanting to help you just know what to do and it comes to you. You get the training and then on the job you learn the skills. People are supported."

text: Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") (NYSE AMEX: SNT) today announced that it has received Institutional Review Board approval and has finalized a clinical trial research agreement with the West Virginia University Research Corporation of Morgantown, West Virginia to evaluate SNS01-T, the Company's lead therapeutic candidate, at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in the on-going Phase 1b/2a trial for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center (MBRCC) is West Virginia's premier cancer facility with a national reputation of excellence in cancer treatment, prevention and research. Located in Morgantown, within the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center at West Virginia University School of Medicine, MBRCC is recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer for providing the best in cancer care. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, researchers and other healthcare experts work together to develop and implement the best possible individualized treatment plans, which include standard treatments and exciting alternatives offered through clinical trials. The principal investigator in the study at West Virginia University is Dr. Mehdi Hamadani. "With the addition of MBRCC, we now have a total of three excellent clinical sites involved in recruiting patients into the multiple myeloma study with SNS01-T," stated Leslie J. Browne, Ph.D, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senesco. "We expect that the additional broadening of patient access to SNS01-T achieved in the last week should significantly speed up completion of the study." In the study, patients are dosed twice-weekly for 6 weeks followed by an observation period. The first group of three patients will receive 0.0125 mg/kg by intravenous infusion. At the end of their 6 weeks of dosing, safety data for the group will be reviewed before the subsequent group receives a higher dosage. The escalated doses administered to the second to fourth groups will be 0.05, 0.2 and 0.375 mg/kg, respectively. The study is an open-label, multiple-dose, dose-escalation study, which will evaluate the safety and tolerability of SNS01-T when administered by intravenous infusion to a total of approximately 15 relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. While the primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability, the effect of SNS01-T on tumor response and time to relapse or progression will be assessed using multiple well-established metrics including measurement of the monoclonal protein (M-protein). Patient dosing in the study was initiated in November, 2011 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Hey hey everyone,
I'm not sure how I feel about this "metabolic typing" diet I've heard about.
Basically, it says that some people are designed to eat mainly:
The basis is that *some* people do better on mainly carbs, and others do better on mainly protein and fat.
The reasoning is that some cultures like the Eskimos ate mainly Protein and Fat and did just fine.
While other cultures ate mainly carbs and were very healthy as well.
Seems kind of... incomplete... to me.
My hunch is that there's other factors in play with the high carb groups.
Such as maybe mainly glucose carbs like tubers?
I don't know.
What do you guys think?

Wat I actually meant was a state identifier (or set of identifiers for concurrent states). An example of a state identifier (using the diagram from the first post) is: /Existing/Reviewed/Published. This is enough information to restore the workflow instance, because like I said previously the transition history cannot affect the processing taking place at a state. Using state identifiers also makes it (relatively) easy to migrate to a new workflow definition. Either the new definition has states with identical identifiers, or the new definition can have a mapping from old state identifiers to new state identifiers. Other information needed for proper processing should be stored with the object. -- Johan Stuyts

Turkey, still recovering from the #occupyGezi movement and the government crack down on peaceful protesters, is in for another shake up in the upcoming mayoral elections.
43 year-old Can Cavusoglu will become the first openly gay candidate to stand for office in Turkey [2] in the March 2014 elections, AFP reported, adding that he is running for mayor as an independent candidate in in Bulancak, a town of 60,000 people on the Black Sea.
The US-educated activist and Istanbul native wants to become the first gay mayor in majority-Muslim Turkey, where homosexuality is not illegal but remains a taboo outside urban centers [3], AFP reported.
Cavusoglu describes himself as a gay activist who also campaigns for women's rights, and "a thinker, painter, writer" [4] who hopes to attract American investment to the town if elected.
Turkey, an aspiring candidate for EU membership, has witnessed a significant relaxing towards its attitudes towards homosexuality over the last few years.

Bubble Puzzle is a fun and colorful puzzle game which consists of progressing through the different levels by removing as many same-colored bubbles as possible and reaching a high score.
How to play? Simply, you need to connect a line of five same-colored bubbles by tapping on it and placing them somewhere else, keeping in mind that there shouldn't be any bubbles in the way, as you need a clear path to be able to move the bubbles. Every time you move one, more bubbles will appear so you need to be careful and don't let the board flood.
The design is pretty good, although it doesn't exactly include anything special or particularly original, we have definitely played this game before. Anyway, it's a fun entertainment for puzzle fans that want quick and simple games.
Lich Mobile is the developer of Bubble Puzzle, a simplistic puzzle which can be entertaining enough.

text: Photographic Story This image was taken in 2012. We were on our way to the coast of California and hadn't been to Joshua Tree since sometime in the 70's. So we decided to check it out again. We spent a couple of days having fun photographing out there, but it wasn't long enough. Analog – Archival Silver Gelatin Photograph Clyde's silver gelatin black and white images are created using an 8"x10", 11"x14", or 12"x20" view camera. Clyde prints his images in his own darkroom on fiberbase paper in a limited edition. The photographs are selenium toned, then mounted and matted to current archival standards. His images come in sizes from 8"x10" inches to 5'x8' feet. His love of art and nature is seen in the exceptional detail and more subtle textures of his photography.

Temporal phase shifting in automatic interferogram analysis offers very high accuracy of phase retrieval providing that several experimental conditions are met. The paper is focused on the calibration error of unequal phase changes across the interferogram field, i.e., tilt-shift error. For its detection the lattice-site representation of phase shift angles is proposed. The error can be readily discerned using (N+1) algorithms with the last frame overlapping the first one. Four and five frame algorithms are considered. The influence of experimental parameters on the error detection sensitivity is discussed. Numerical studies are complemented by experimental results.

This mens choker combines red and white in a design that is both balanced and striking. White shell heishi beads provide the basis of the necklace. The red segments are created by framing deep red barrel shaped horn beads with pairs of red riverstone heishis. I added small silver rondelles to provide some separation and a bit of pizazz. A silver-plate hook clasp with a rope pattern completes the design.
The choker measures 20 inches in length which is a good choker length for a man, but I can change the length if you wish. This red and white choker with its contrasting colors is a great-looking necklace.

text: I mentioned last week, and even yesterday, the ISM Report for Wednesday will be bad. But I'll admit that after yesterday's terrible data encouraged bulls, I had to scratch my head. It appears now Tuesday's late day ramp higher, clearly shown in the SPY 5 minute chart yesterday, was pure manipulation and marking prices higher to support portfolios. Window dressing is illegal and hardly ever discovered or punished. Tuesday will be no exception. Even late in the day Tuesday, the CME lowered margins for trading most stock index futures which was one helluva trap. So, at least for Wednesday the theme: "bad news is good, good news is better" is off the table, if only for today. Yesterday's bullish move was wrapped around the Greek 60 billion euro bailout. (Greek debt was lowered again by Moody's Wednesday. They're so on top of things, eh?) Meanwhile, the ADP Employment picture came in at 38.5K jobs added against expectations of 170K and a prior reading of 177K. The hammer was dropped by the important ISM Index at 53.5 versus estimates of 57.6 and a prior reading of 60.4. These readings combined with other recent reports reveal an economy in rapid decline. One thing also shown in our postings over the past month has been the appearance of 203 "monthly" DeMark 9 counts from our database of 515 securities, futures and ETFs. Do these signify a top? Not necessarily since all these generally indicate is "trend exhaustion" and nothing more. We could churn sideways or possibly face a correction that could be mild or even more severe. When DeMark counts fail it just means trends are very strong. I believe QE2 has increased the possibility of a DeMark failure as many technical indicators have also been steamrolled by QE2. And speaking of POMO, another $7.3 billion was added to the Primary Dealer network Wednesday. There's no stopping the Bernank & Co. Below is a chart from our internal database showing the current monthly DeMark 9 now completed Tuesday in this case for DIA. Volume was quite high comparatively on Wednesday. Some bulls were saying this was just a quiet summer shortened week. I don't think that's right. Breadth per the WSJ may have been a 10/90 day.
