I am amazed by what can go on when I close my eyes and fall asleep:
I wonder if they'll escalate the national "Threatcon" level after a WHITE man MURDERS a bunch of BLACK people at a BLACK church! Of course not. This is a problem with which the "black community" must contend.
Fuck worrying about Muslims. The real danger in America comes from my fellow WHITES, particularly WHITE GUN-LOVING (probably ZIONIST) CHRISTIANS — the same assholes who like coffee klatching at Starbucks with rifles slung over their shoulders!
On a separate matter, I wish I could go back to having a skinny body, like that of the "gunman" shown in the photo, without having to work for it. Oh, to be a 17yo with a 27″ waist, again. Pass me the bennies, please!

Thank you Anand Ji for reminding this song and sharing its track. A very melodious song that despite carrying sad lyrics makes us feel so good. A song that should have been much longer in duration considering the number of stanzas it has. This is a Rafi/Geeta Dutt duet from 1956 film Choomantar. Since I was already familiar with this song all I had to do was listen the original and write down the lyrics. A traditional oldie, nothing extra special in it. All stanzas have same melody but listeners can make out which one of the 5 stanzas is female. I have sung a solo cover. The track is a bit faster in tempo than original making it a bit less sad than the original. Hope friends enjoy this cover.
Original Singers: Rafi/Geeta Dutt

Yes it currently attempts to buffer the output as part of the test completion event to report listeners. So indeed, this might have OOMed on the parent. > Is there some way to not buffer the output with "ant test"...? Not really, this is by-design. The issue here is that we have multiple forked JVMs and all of them may be writing to sysouts at once. Listeners (including text output listener that writes to ANT console) receive aggregated events that are atomic view of tests' execution (for example a single test, with its status, output, timing, etc.). API wise this could be in fact done at the runner level when individual events are received (and assuming a single JVM is forked) but it just smells bad to me. It is also possible to run just the forked JVM and get its raw output (much like Mike does with the python runner now?), but it's again hacky. Large sysout buffers have occurred in the past (Yonik asked for it for example). It's definitely possible but it adds complexity to the runner (it'd have to spill to disk and events would then just point at a section of the output file). I'll do it at some point but I don't consider it super-urgent. To my defense, I think the default JUnit runner would also OOM with large outputs because the mechanism of passing output data to listeners is memory-based as well: http://www.jajakarta.org/ant/ant-1.6.1/docs/ja/manual/api/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/junit/JUnitResultFormatter.html#setSystemOutput(java.lang.String) I filed LUCENE-4053 to track this. I'll grind the alternatives for a while and think of a way to integrate it.

Erik Johansson's optical illusion photographs will boggle your mind
Swedish photographer Erik Johansson is seemingly on a mission to blow our minds with his captivating optical illusions.
Based in Berlin, he is also a skilled retoucher, which enables him to turn his ambitious ideas into logically surreal projects that look like real photographs.
Johansson will often use hundreds of different original images to make one picture with the help of digital alteration software Adobe Photoshop.
His interest in art began aged 15, inspired by his painter grandmother, and he soon began "playing around with photos and creating something you couldn't capture with the camera" on a computer.
"It was a great way of learning, learning by trying," Johansson writes on his website, adding that he only began viewing photography as his profession years later.
"I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to realise and I saw it as problem-solving trying to make it as realistic as possible."
Johansson cites his childhood in the Swedish countryside as a key inspiration for his work, along with famous artists such as Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte and Jacek Yerka.
"It's a lot about looking at the world from a different perspective," he says, describing his style as "surreal ideas realised in a realistic way with a touch of humour".

Erknul the AntiquarianAn elderly man who runs Zargosa's largest and finest illegal bookshop from an octagonal tower in the ancient quarter behind the Sea King's Temple. His operation is protected by a large gang of erudite thugs, the patronage of several wealthy bibliophiles among the city's upper social tiers, and his reputation as a discreet and non-discriminating fence. He will move most product that is not too hot, and can generally be relied upon to not reveal the identity of either buyer or seller, although he sometimes charges a service or two to ensure his silence.
Artisan MarzuliErknul's former lieutenant, who has set up shop indepentently, much to his displeasure. She operates out of an old barge upriver, and is rumored to deal in books that most other book traders refuse to handle, like the cognitively toxic tomes from far-off places like Yoon-Suin, Quelong and the Southernmost South,. She doesn't enjoy the noble patronage that Erknul does, but someone highly placed must be protecting her, considering that she manages to keep her brazenly illegal trade going. She is also rumored to keep a large terrarium, for reasons unknown.
The Corner SquiresZargosa has the finest and largest university in the world. Students come there from all over the continent of Tlön and beyond to study law, metaphysics, natural history, rhetoric, and all the other sciences, high and low. Tuition fees are steep, however, and even though the University faculties run their portion of the city as a more or less independent fief, the book prohibition has greatly affected the availability and price of course literature.
As a result of these factors, increasing numbers of students each semester turn to a life of semi- or full time criminality. For those whose funds have run dry, there has always existed the option of working as a private tutor for the children of the wealthy, and/or prostituting themselves to the same (the wealthy, that is). More and more however, who are either too desperate, incompetent or impatient for these lines of work, are drawn to the Corner Squires. These are simply criminal gangs of students, who make money by selling books to their peers, and those bibliophiles among the citizenry who cannot match Erknul's or Marzuli's prices. The Squires operate out of street corners in the University quarter, where they settle their turf boundaries by short and ugly street battles. There are at any time four to six major gangs, depending on the economy. The books they peddle are generally of low quality, copied by hand or on cheap printing presses. The source of their product is a matter of speculation, although it is rumored that some highly placed academics make money by supplying them with knock-off versions derived from their own private collections of books.

BATON ROUGE — A year-round commercial trout season and toll exemptions for Grand Isle residents were among the local bills that were adopted during the regular session's waning hours Monday.
Rep. Damon Baldone, D-Houma, worked out a compromise on his House Bill 545, which would extend the commercial season for speckled trout to give licensed anglers a full 12 months to harvest their product.
The deal was negotiated with Lake Charles-area lawmakers, who wanted to ban the special season from being implemented west of Mermentau River, between Calcasieu Lake and Vermilion Bay.
"They're trying to make that a recreational hotspot with champion fish, and I didn't have a problem with that," Baldone said.
The bill, though, also offered oyster harvesters a way to address a recent dilemma.
Annual oyster-lease payments are due to the state at the end of the year, but the oil crisis has closed many leases.
Baldone's legislation would delay the end-of-year payment until August 2011 so lawmakers can review the issue when they meet in the spring.
"We don't want to take leases away from people for not paying, especially when they're unable to make money," Baldone said.
Rep. Jerry Gisclair, D-Larose, also managed to get his House Bill 636 passed. It originally excluded official vehicles from the town of Grand Isle from paying La. 1 tolls, but it stirred a bit of controversy when residents of the island were added.
In the end, lawmakers agreed to let residents avoid the tolls, but they will have to prove to the state that they actually live in Grand Isle.
"We just added tighter restrictions on who would be qualified," Gisclair said.
Senate Bill 708 by Sen. Norby Chabert, D-Houma, allows levee districts to continue completing work totaling $1 million or less on their own without bidding it out. It also passed during the session's final moments.
Baldone and Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, failed in their attempt to raise the cap on the House side.
The legislation will allow levee districts to continue that arrangement until 2014. The special allowance was supposed to end in December.
"We're not happy with this, but we have to salvage the bill," Harrison said. "We'll have to work on this bill again later."
Senate Bill 65 Sen. Jody Amedee, D-Gonzales, meanwhile, paves the way for portions of Ascension and Ibberville parishes to be included in the state's official coastal zone.
Supporters argued that the parishes suffer flooding problems similar to Terrebonne and Lafourche and deserve to utilize resources available to coastal-zone parishes.
Opponents countered that there isn't enough money to go around.
Harrison is the only member of the Houma-Thibodaux delegation who voted against SB 65.

During the 1990s, liquidity was relatively abundant in the European Union and the European central banks mostly developed a relaxed monetary policy. While the bank lending channel view of the monetary policy would have suggested an increase in loans to firms in this context, the demand for bank corporate lending, however, slowed down, suggesting that monetary policy was not effective in this area. This article analyses how the financing behaviour of Spanish firms during 1992–2003 is related to their liquidity holdings and how this relationship may affect the effectiveness of the bank lending channel. The empirical evidence provided suggests that firms holding high liquid assets may replace bank lending by other sources of financing. Hence, higher liquidity holdings allow firms to invest in attractive investment projects in the event of a tightening of monetary conditions.

The purpose of this article is to assess the generality of previous empirical findings on the determinants of retail rent in shopping centers and validate their substantive robustness using data from Hong Kong. Consistent with previous findings, the rental rate of a retail unit is positively related to its customer-generating power and the size of the shopping center but negatively related to its own size. In contrast to previous findings, it is positively associated with chain stores and the age of the shopping center but not significantly related to several provisions in the lease.

In multi-tiered organizations, individuals can engage in unproductive rent-seeking activities both within and between the divisions of the organization. Nevertheless, a multi-tiered organizational structure can induce efficiency gains by decreasing rent-seeking. We present a model of production and simultaneous internal and external rent-seeking, assuming a logistic contest success function. In equilibrium, there is generically either internal or external rent-seeking, but not both. A multi-tiered organization leads to less rent-seeking and higher welfare, even though the production technology gives no reason for any specific organizational structure. Our findings constitute a new efficiency rationale for multi-tiered organizations.

The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamental to the performance of local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant efforts have been made in the creation of larger and more powerful neighborhoods that are able to explore the solution space more extensively and effectively while keeping computation complexity within acceptable levels. The most important advances in this domain derive from dynamic and adaptive neighborhood constructions originating in ejection chain methods and a special form of a candidate list design that constitutes the core of the filter-and-fan method. The objective of this paper is to lay out the general framework of the ejection chain and filter-and-fan methods and present applications to a number of important combinatorial optimization problems. The features of the methods that make them effective in these applications is expected to provide insights into solving challenging problems in other settings.

The τ-value is a solution concept for a subclass of games with transferable utility introduced and axiomatized by Tijs (1981, 1987). In this note an alternative characterization of the τ-value by means of five axioms is offered. Two of them are well-known: efficiency and translation equivalence; the other three relate the solution of a game with the minimal and maximal aspiration vectors involved in the definition of the τ-value.

The change of welfare for one individual can be measured by the compensating variation (CV) or equivalent variation; the change for a whole society can be evaluated by summing up the individual gains and losses (e.g. Σ CV). Generally there is no equivalence between the positive sign of this sum and a potential improvement for all individuals by redistribution of incomes. In this paper the Σ CV-measure is corrected in a manner such that the new measure is equivalent to the Pareto principle. This correction is defined in a general equilibrium framework and takes into account the attainability of allocations. Finally characterizations of compensation tests are derived.

This paper concerns itself with applications of pair-copulas in finance, and bridges the gap between theory and application. We provide a broad view of the problem of modeling multivariate financial log-returns using pair-copulas, gathering together for this purpose theoretical and computational results from the literature on canonical vines. From the practitioner's viewpoint, the paper shows the advantages of modeling through pair-copulas and makes clear that it is possible to implement this methodology on a daily basis. All the necessary steps (model selection, estimation, validation, simulations, and applications) are discussed at a level easily understood by all data analysts.

This article addresses issues associated with the modern regional and historical consciousness of the population, as well as the historical, geographical, and ethnocultural prerequisites for their formation within the confines of Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, and partially Voronezh oblasts. Assuming that the mentality of the local population harmonizes with the character of the historic and ethnocultural landscape, the author studies the spatial changes in the ethnocultural identity of localities and in the sociopsychological concepts of the residents, singling out zones characterized by the occurrence of elements of the Ukrainian culture.

This paper presents two characterizations of the core on the domain of all NTU games. One is based on consistency with respect to "complement-reduced game" and converse consistency with respect to "max-reduced game". The other is based on consistency with respect to "max-reduced game" and weak converse consistency with respect to "complement-reduced game". Besides, we introduce an alternative definition of individual rationality, we name conditional individual rationality, which is compatible with non-emptiness. We discuss axiomatic characterizations involving conditional individual rationality for the core.

The regional types of China's floating population: Identification methods and spatial patterns
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- 206 Downloads
With the rapid increase of the number and influence of floating population in China, it is urgently needed to understand the regional types of China's floating population and their spatial characteristics. After reviewing the current methods for identifying regional types of floating population, this paper puts forward a new composite-index identification method and its modification version which is consisted of two indexes of the net migration rate and gross migration rate. Then, the traditional single-index and the new composite-index identification methods are empirically tested to explore their spatial patterns and characteristics by using China's 2000 census data at county level. The results show: (1) The composite-index identification method is much better than traditional single-index method because it can measure the migration direction and scale of floating simultaneously, and in particular it can identify the unique regional types of floating population with large scale of immigration and emigration. (2) The modified composite-index identification method, by using the share of a region's certain type of floating population to the total in China as weights, can effectively correct the over- or under-estimated errors due to the rather large or small total population of a region. (3) The spatial patterns of different regional types of China's floating population are closely related to the regional differentiation of their natural environment, population density and socio-economic development level. The three active regional types of floating population are mainly located in the eastern part of China with lower elevation, more than 800 mm precipitation, rather higher population densities and economic development levels.

The refrigerator in Matt and Nathaniel's kitchen is a dangerous place. With three or four people contributing to its contents, the refrigerator becomes a jungle in which items are routinely misplaced, lost, or forgotten. Produce vanishes, then reappears looking considerably worse for wear. Leftovers develop sentient life and stage hostile takeovers. (Thus far, none have succeeded.) Condiments breed, producing hordes of half-empty jars of pickles and mustard. Food may very well be safer outside the fridge than in it.
The freezer isn't much better. Everything keeps, so nothing gets thrown away. My latest effort at tidying up revealed half a pint of Cherry Garcia ice-cream, the heel of a loaf of bread, a bottle of vodka, a bottle of vanilla vodka, another bottle of vodka, several packages of frozen spinach, a yogurt container full of squash stew, a Ziploc bag of parsley stems, and a Tupperware container of what I initially thought was tomato sauce, but then realised was leftover crazy water.
Leftover whatnow?
Crazy water. Acqua pazza. As in pesce all'acqua pazza, which is a Marcella Hazan dish I learned about from Matt. I'll probably write about it in greater detail when tomatoes are in season again, but the short of it is, you take fresh tomatoes, chop them up, and simmer them with water and garlic and chili flakes and flat-leaf parsley until you have a spicy, stewy broth in which you poach fillets of white fish. Then you serve the whole mess over rice, with lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices.
The last time we prepared it, we ended up with more crazy water than we needed, so I poured the leftovers into a Tupperware container, stuck it in the freezer, and proceeded to completely forget about it. Several months later... well, see above.
I decided the best way to get rid of it would be to make another dish in which you serve the whole mess over rice, with lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices. Shrimp étouffée fit the bill nicely. Score: Adele, 1. Freezer, 0.
Now, does anyone have a recipe that calls for frozen spinach and lots of vodka?
Shrimp Étouffée
This is loosely inspired by Jambalaya's recipe for crawfish étouffée, but it is not, and in no way pretends to be authentic New Orleans cooking. So Kathleen, if you're reading this, don't kill me.
(Serves one, with leftovers)
First, you'll need a pound of raw shrimp. Frozen shrimp are fine, though fresh shrimp are better. Defrost the shrimp, if necessary. Peel the shrimp. Set aside.
Cut a small yellow onion, a small green bell pepper, and a few ribs of celery into fine dice. Mince three cloves of garlic.
Heat a generous slice of butter in a large heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. Add two tablespoons of flour and stir until the mixture turns a light shade of brown. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Season with generous dash of paprika, a generous dash of black pepper, and a sprinkle of cayenne. Add a pinch of salt. Throw in a bay leaf. Stir.
When you can smell the onions, pour in a splash of white wine. Let the fumes cook off, then pour in a cup of leftover crazy water, or a cup of fish or shrimp stock. (Don't have fish or shrimp stock? Use water and add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.)
Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat so that it's at a steady simmer. Add your shrimp and cook until they're pink and tender. Stir in the juice from half a lemon, and a handful of finely chopped parsley. Remove from heat. Serve over rice, seasoned to taste with Tabasco. Accompany with crusty bread.

Nokia (NYSE:NOK) could be about to catalyze upwards this week in the move we've all been waiting for. Over the next few days, it's about to introduce several exciting new entrants into its Lumia line-up, which will generate significant positive press coverage. This will help provide a welcome boost to Nokia investors who are well used to a roller coaster ride watching the stock. It will also make good on the promise of Nokia CEO Stephen Elop to give us "...a season of new product introductions" made in the Q1 2013 earnings call. So let's take a look at what to expect, starting with the first device due to hit our shelves on Thursday (5/16/13), the Verizon (NYSE:VZ) Nokia Lumia 928.
Verizon Nokia Lumia 928
The Nokia Lumia 928, announced online on Friday 10th May, is very much what the 920 should have been in its first incarnation. It is a Verizon-specific derivative of the Lumia 920, taking on board all of the lessons Nokia has learned in the last 6 months. It thus has similar specifications but has sliced away some of the puppy fat of the 920, reducing the weight from 185g to 162g. It also improves on other functionalities such as switching over to a Xenon flash. I have a really good feeling about this phone for a number of reasons.
The biggest is that Verizon, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia are all committed to heavily marketing this phone. We can thus expect to see the Lumia 928 sell considerably more than the AT&T (NYSE:T) exclusive Lumia 920 has done so far in the U.S. This will repeat Verizon's performance in outselling the Lumia 920 with its mid-range exclusive Lumia 822 over the last 6 months, as can be seen in the following chart.
This chart is a very useful snapshot, which allows us to perform a number of interesting calculations.
Using Nokia's last two earnings releases, which take into account the influx of WP8, we can calculate with a reasonable degree of accuracy the tallies for the WP8 phones listed. If you're non-statistically inclined, please feel free to skip the following paragraph and join us at the table further down.
Taking into account that Nokia sold 1.1 million phones in the U.S. and Canada in Q4 2012 and Q1 2013, we can reduce this tally by 0.1 million to factor in feature phone sales. We do not need to reduce this further, as with an ASP of $252 in the last quarter, we can assume most NOK sales in the U.S. are Lumias. We reduce another 0.1 million to factor in Canada. Considering the fall off in demand from Q4 of 0.7 million, to Q1's 0.4 million, it is thus appropriate to add 0.1 million to take into account the month of April. Factoring in WP7 device sales and WP8 devices such as HTC's (OTC:HTCKF) 8S and Samsung's (OTC:SSNLF) Ativ S, which are not listed, it is appropriate to take another 0.2 million off to account for them. The above listed WP8 sales therefore total 0.8 million, allowing us to compile the following table.
Now, the actual Lumia sales volume is not impressive. One can also see why T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) has already discontinued its Lumia 810. It is simply uneconomical for it to maintain a unique variant specially designed for it if it fails to sell. What I do find impressive and why those above statistics are vital is that Verizon is really committing itself to sell the Nokia Lumia range, as evidenced by its relative success with the Lumia 822.
When we take a look at Google Trends for the U.S., we see that in terms of mind-share, the Lumia 920 exceeds Lumia 822 press coverage by a factor of 6. Yet, when it comes to actual sales, Verizon is ensuring its sales reps are converting people to Windows Phone where it matters: at the purchase decision-making point.
So, when we take into account the prestige of having a true flagship brings to advertising, I have a feeling the Lumia 928 will do a great job in capturing media interest, which will then translate into serious sales for Nokia. With Verizon selling 7.2 million smartphones in the last quarter, I think it would be a reasonable assumption to make that it will try to get at least 10% of this share to give us circa ~750,000 sales per quarter. This will also be really helped by the fact that even though it will be marketed as a flagship, it will cost only $99 subsidized, the same as the Lumia 822 upon launch.
So why do I think that Verizon is firmly committed to selling the Lumia 928? This goes directly back to its ASP. With Nokia utilizing mainly the same internals and with advances in production efficiency, I believe this will be a cheaper phone to produce than the Lumia 920 was at launch. This will make its cost price to Verizon particularly compelling when we take into account the average Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 5 costs Verizon ~$700. This can be estimated based on the iPhone range having an ASP of $613. If we remove the older models from the mix, it is a reasonable assessment to make that the iPhone 5 costs Verizon ~$700. We do not know the ASP for the Lumia 920, but we do know it ranged from being sold at $450 by AT&T to around $600+ in Europe at launch. It is thus a reasonable estimate to believe the Lumia 928 will cost Verizon ~$500.
This will mean the Lumia 928 will cost Verizon around 40% less than the iPhone 5, and will hence be considerably more profitable for Verizon. Of course, convincing customers they will benefit is a different proposition entirely.
From now and especially from May 16th, we can thus expect to see a barrage of advertising in the media as well as strong efforts by Verizon sales to push this phone. Within a couple of weeks, I am also hopeful that the Google trends graph will show more interest in the U.S. for the Lumia 928 than for the Lumia 920.
London's Global Media Event - May 14th
The Lumia 928 will not be the only big Nokia story this week, however. In fact, it won't even be the biggest. On Tuesday (5/14/13), Nokia is conducting a global media event in London. There are a lot of rumors flying around as to what we will see at this event. It is best therefore to start off with what we can be reasonably sure will happen.
Nokia Lumia "EOS"
It is highly likely we will see the announcement of a global flagship WP8 camera phone currently codenamed "Eos". This will be a follow-up to the stellar 41-megapixel Nokia 808 Pureview. The original 808, which launched in February 2012, certainly caught the technology media's imagination, but was sadly stillborn being based on the Symbian platform. With a year's worth of product improvements, it is reasonable to expect something that will be even more special. Combined with increasing brand awareness of the Lumia line, I have a feeling that this phone will gain even more mind-share than the L920 ever did.
I originally thought that this phone was going to be a niche product back in January. However, I now have a feeling that this phone will be designed as the global Nokia flagship. With the ability of its camera, it will provide Nokia with an unquestionable competitive advantage in the marketplace against the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S4 and the iPhone. It is, of course, unreasonable to expect it to actually sell more than its chief competitors. However, as NOK shareholders, we can confidently expect it to far outsell its direct forebear, the Nokia 808, as well as the Lumia 920. I think it is reasonable therefore, to expect this to sell around 1 million plus per quarter. This is however dependent on the number of carriers that come on board. I have a strong suspicion it will be AT&T exclusive in the U.S. and possibly Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD) specific in the UK. These carrier exclusives can work if the operator is properly incentivized such as in the case of Verizon's Lumia 928, however, where the ASP is the same as the iPhone or its other competitors, I am doubtful if this is the best strategy.
Other Possible Announcements on May 14th
The rumor mill has thrown up a lot of potential device launches alongside the EOS, which I will briefly run through below.
Lumia 625
International Business Times is reporting Nokia may announce a mid-range "phablet" on May 14th. This is possible but doubtful. I do not think Nokia would launch a ground breaking camera phone and a firmly mid-range niche device at the same time.
Lumia Tablet
Tom's Hardware discusses the prospects for a Nokia Windows RT tablet launch here. I personally do not like the mentioned specs and suspect that they have leaked from either a prototype or a killed project. I believe Nokia switched from producing a Windows RT tablet to a Windows 8 tablet, which is probably not yet ready for production. This would make sense considering the mediocre sales of all launched Windows RT devices so far. Therefore, I think it is quite unlikely we will see a RT tablet unveiled on May 14th.
Lumia "Catwalk"
I think the "Catwalk" has a very strong chance of being introduced on May 14th. This will no longer be the global flagship as I thought it would be in January. I think this phone will be a global variant of the Lumia 928. It will thus have a lower ASP than the "Eos" and serve as an effective replacement to the Lumia 820. This device will be priced competitively and we can expect to see it on most global carriers, including T-Mobile U.S. I believe Nokia will have sales targets exceeding the Eos for this phone and want it to sell at least 1.5 million per quarter. We do not know what Nokia will launch alongside the Eos on Tuesday, but it is most probable it will be this as the most complementary device. It is also highly likely to be the featured device in this teaser advert shown on British TV Sunday night.
At the start of the article, I mentioned Nokia's share price was akin to a roller coaster. Since September 2012 when the Lumia 920 was launched, it certainly is a quite apt comparison.
When one sees that broader overview, it does seem to be that we are experiencing an upswing, which should hopefully continue over the coming months. However, as many NOK shareholders will remember, around 15 minutes into the presentation at the grand unveiling of the L920, we saw a massive sell-off on very high volume. The price did rapidly recover over the coming weeks, but it is certainly an experience to bear in mind. It is very difficult to judge if something similar will happen on May 14th. I certainly hope not, but I do expect to see a great deal of short-term volatility around this week. Of course, over the medium term, like most NOK shareholders, I expect a decent appreciation in price to $5+. I also expect this week's device unveiling and roll-outs to set the right tempo for Nokia's recovery back into profits and regaining a healthy share price.
Disclosure: I am long NOK. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Children's LiteratureBefore Mom and Dad go out one night, Peggy tells them she cannot go to sleep because of the crocodile hiding under her bed. Of course they say that is rubbish, tuck her in, and leave her grandmother in charge. But a crocodile really is there. His name is Henry, and he proceeds to join her in some fun, in the bath tub, dancing the Crocodile Rock, making and painting an egg-carton crocodile. Henry tells stories of how naughty he was when he was little. This is why he is there; he was punished by being sentenced to help frightened children. He can only return when he has visited a thousand of them; Peggy is only number 776. Before he finishes his story, she is asleep. Was this all her vivid imagination? If so, how did the egg-carton crocodile her dad finds under her bed get there? Beginning with the end-papers, which display dozens of dancing crocodiles in varied acrobatic positions it is clear that we have a humorous bit of a child's happy make-believe. The crayon-textured illustrations offer the artist a chance to de-demonize the reptile, to present him as a fun-loving prankster and kindly playmate. Charming, red-haired Peggy is our guide through the delightful sequence of bed-time adventures. 2005 (orig.1980), Front Street, Ages 3 to 7.

Kettlebell Rack PositionRack Position is used in Kettelbell (Girevoy) sport to rest and prepare the body for the overhead movement. Kettlebell rack position is a total body commitment. Shoulder joint, shoulder girdle, spine, hips and pelvis need optimum range of motion to master a perfect technique.
Originally coaches used light bells to work the technique. There was a belief that eventually proper technique will be established, as the bells get heavier. An opposite school of thought used heavy bells, believing that the body will eventually be forced into the proper alignment under the weight of the bells.Next generation of coached added basic stretching techniques. Sometime later massage and release came into play. The last two modalities helped, some but not all athletes. The reason why basic stretches did not work is because most are taken from other disciplines such as yoga. However the Kettle Rack Position is very specific and need direct work to master it. Further more often the focus must be on the areas of tightness and lack of awareness.Unlike standard relaxed stretching techniques commonly used in lifting programs, our program employs Zaichik Stretching techniques.Zaichik Stretching approach is different. Each muscle is targeted individually. At the same time using action vs action approach, stretch reflex is avoided. Avoiding the stretch reflex allows to eliminate the pain of stretching.Moreover Zaichik Stretching allows the practitioner to pinpoint the problem. In other words, if only one muscle is tight out of the group, all the athlete has to do, is focus on that muscle and release it.Get Your Mastering the Front Rack Position Program Today!Order Yours Now!

|Hida Matsuro
|Clear Water Village Governor
Hida Matsuro was the governor of Clear Water Village in the 12th century.
Station Edit
Matsuro was appointed as governor after serving in battle. He had widowed when his wife was killed by a Shadowlands creature. When Matsuro was 44 years old man, he was bored beyond belief of his duties. Matsuro relieved his boredom by shark fishing in the bay. His tetsubo, Biter, was crafted by Hida Bansaro, embedded with the teeth of the sharks Matsuro had caught and also jade teeth. [1]
Absences Edit
Matsuro presumed to hone his skills of falconry, but Matsuro instead used these trips to chase Shadowlands creatures which had been seen on this side of the Kaiu Wall. [1] When Matsuro would be away from the village on offical business, the day-to-day administration would fall to his karo Hida Utaka. [2]

The mandolin has seen a serious resurgence of popularity in recent years, and for good reason. With a unique sound that can add character to any song, mandolins have found a home beyond country and bluegrass music, effortlessly expanding into indie, power pop, and rock and roll. Now, it's time for you to add the mandolin to your repertoire.
There are so many acts in today's musical landscape that are spicing things up with a mandolin. Artists such as Butch Walker and Stevie Van Zandt of the E Street Band, as well as bands like Primal Scream and Dropkick Murphys have all used the mandolin to expand their horizons. With an impressive list of names like that, it's no wonder you're looking to do the same.
So which Mandolin is right for you? Well, there are a number of different styles available to you here. One thing you should take note of when you start your search are the different types of sound holes each Mandolin has. Generally mandolins will have either "ff" sound holes or a single oval sound hole. The differences between these holes are subtle, but noticeable, with oval sound holes (like the one found on the Washburn M1SDL A-Style Mandolin) delivering strong bass sounds and resonance, as well as warmer tones and lush character. The "ff" sound holes (like the ones on the Michael Kelly MKLFSTB Legacy Festival Mandolin), on the other hand, project better and offer a far clearer and more cutting sound. There's no right or wrong type; both are, in fact, very popular. In the end your choice will almost certainly come down to personal preference.
Regardless of which mandolin you choose, you're certain to enjoy the wonderful music they make. From Taylor Swift, to the Pogues, and everywhere in between, the mandolin is more popular than ever and is certain to find a perfect place in your band.
