Less than four weeks before the November 6 election between President Barack Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney, the vice presidential candidates had their only debate on some social and political issues.
Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan discussed the problems of the economy, taxes and Medicare. The atmosphere was far from being friendly. During the debate Ryan, sitting on the national debate stage for the first time, ridiculed Joe Biden's speech.
In Kentucky, Biden and Ryan seemed ready to quarrel from the very opening moments on stage. Nobody was willing to let the other have the final word. They interrupted each other all the time.
And President Obama was cheered by the offensive. "I'm going to make a special point of saying that I thought Joe Biden was terrific tonight," the president told reporters after stepping off Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, on his way back to the White House after a day of campaigning in Florida.
And, on the contrary, Romney called Ryan and congratulated him on his performance. It was a success. After 90 minutes of the initial disagreement over foreign policy, the two men proceeded with a hot debate about reducing federal deficits.
69-year-old Biden brought the video in which Romney had said that 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax, view themselves as victims and do not take responsibility for their own lives.
Ryan, 42, was ready to respond. ''This is a man who gave 30 percent of his income to charity, more than the two of us combined,'' he said of the man at the top of the Republican ticket.
''Mitt Romney's a good man. He cares about 100 percent of Americans in this country. And with respect to that quote, I think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way.''
Also Ryan paid attention to recent economic statistics — 23 million are struggling to work, he said, and 15 percent of the country is living in poverty. ''This is not what a real recovery looks like.''
Medicare was a burning issue, as well. Ryan criticized Obama's health care plan, noticing that Obama had diverted $716 billion from the program for seniors and created a new board that could deny care to patients who really need it.
Ryan, a seven-term congressman continued to criticize, saying ''The president likes to say he has a plan, but in fact ''he gave a speech'' and never backed it up with details".
And Biden claimed that Republicans indeed had a plan. But he said that if enacted it would have ''eviscerated all the things the middle class care about,'' including cutting health care programs and education.
Later Biden and Ryan discussed whether abortion should be legal. Biden, a Democrat, believes that abortion should be legal while Ryan opposes it except in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger.
Biden personally agrees with the Catholic Church's position on abortion. But he did consider it to be right to impose those personal views on other people who may have different religious beliefs.
Though Ryan expressed more conservative views on abortion and said a Romney-Ryan administration would allow abortion under certain circumstances.

Stenhousemuir 0 Rangers 2: Law double sends McCoist's men 17 points clear
Wind damage to a burger van and a temporary stand put paid to Rangers' original trip to Ochilview in December.
A foul-mouthed Twitter storm whipped up by Stenhousemuir striker John Gemmell overshadowed the build-up to yesterday's rearranged fixture.
But, when the last whistle of this contest had finally blown, the Warriors had been unable to use their numerical advantage to blow 10-man Rangers off course in their bid to finish this league season unbeaten.
Calm finish: Rangers midfielder Nicky Law slots home his side's opening goal against Stenhousemuir
At the end of this encounter near the foot of the Ochilview Hills, two goals from the outstanding Nicky Law left McCoist's side 17 points clear at the summit of League One.
Law's finishes were quite exquisite, as Rangers recovered from losing Arnold Peralta for a high tackle on Eddie Malone to grind out their 18th win in 19 games, with the only match they did not win a 1-1 home draw with Stranraer.
'They were lovely finishes by Nicky Law today,' said McCoist. 'The second, in particular, was a brilliant goal, and I can't wait to see it again.
'When we were down to 10 men, it was a case of hitting on the counter and seeing the game out.
'It wasn't always easy on the eye and we don't always seem to play a lot of football when we come to Ochilview. But I'm delighted with the victory.'
All smiles: Law grins as he celebrates giving Rangers the lead on Sunday afternoon
But, just as 72 hours earlier at Excelsior Stadium, this was a slog for Rangers, who made three changes from the side that beat bottom-of-the-table Airdrieonians 1-0 in a stormy encounter in Lanarkshire.
Bilel Mohsni was missing following the red card issued after the final whistle for clashing with Airdrie boss Gary Bollan, while Lewis Macleod failed to recover from a knock.
Nicky Clark dropped to the bench, while Ricky Foster and Peralta came into the starting line-up. There was also a first start since November for Andy Little after the horrific facial injury he picked up at home to Dunfermline.
After a tedious opening 15 minutes, the game burst into life when Sebastian Faure played a short pass-back towards his goalkeeper Cammy Bell.
Stenhousemuir striker Sean Higgins intercepted and he had all the time in the world as he bore down on the Rangers goal. Instead of rounding Bell, however, he shot straight at the diving keeper's body.
Game over: Law nets his second goal of the game in stoppage time to seal another win for Ally McCoist's side
Bell then completed a remarkable double save by blocking Sean Dickson's follow-up before the ball was hacked to safety. As the Rangers players breathed sighs of relief, the heads in hands amongst Stenny players told its own story.
Rangers almost made Higgins pay immediately when Lee Wallace chested down a long-flighted pass and took advantage of a slip by Nicky Devlin. After cushioning the ball, he drove a ferocious shot that bounced off the face of the bar at an angle and away from danger.
But the breakthrough came soon after when Foster's long free-kick was met by the leaping Jon Daly, whose cushioned header into the path of Law ended with the midfielder running into the box and blasting low and true past home keeper Chris Smith.
Rangers were then down to 10 men just before the break, however, when Arnold Peralta went in recklessly high on Eddie Malone.
The challenge looked more mistimed than malicious but the red card issued to the Honduras international midfielder by Bobby Madden looked the correct call.
Unstoppable: Law is congratulated by team-mate Fraser Aird (left) after sending Rangers 17 points clear
'I think it probably was a red for Peralta because he was high,' admitted McCoist.
'I don't have any complaints. But it's frustrating and disappointing, the lack of discipline in the challenge. I think he might be out for two games with that type of challenge, so it's another body we're down.
'But we got through it and it's another good three points with three clean sheets. We've miles to go but the way things are going, it's all right.'
The second half saw the controversial Gemmell enter the field to replace Bryan Hodge, to a smattering of boos from the Rangers fans.
The Ibrox season-ticket holder was thrown on up front but fluffed his only chance, shanking the ball wide after a cross from Kevin McKinlay, to the mirth of the travelling support behind the goal.
Relief: Rangers boss Ally McCoist (middle) celebrates with his backroom staff after Law's second goal
For all that Stenny huffed and puffed and continued to mount an assault on Bell's goal with their 11 men, Martyn Corrigan's team never really looked like turning their possession into a point, let alone all three.
It was left to the excellent Law to show them how it was done by delivering the fatal blow.
The former Motherwell man showed terrific energy by marauding down the right in stoppage time and, when he reached the penalty box, he looked up and sent an unstoppable shot into the top left-hand corner.
'That's what Nicky can do,' said defender Foster. 'Both times when he gets into that position, you fancy him to score.
'The second goal, in particular, was a special strike. We'd been under pressure for so long that he'd hardly seen the ball and he still had the energy and technique to get up and score that goal.
'It was a good win for us as this is a tough place to come. And going down to 10 men just before half-time made it much more difficult.
Red: Referee Bobby Madden sends off Rangers midfielder Arnold Peralta just before half time
'Knowing Arnold Peralta, he's not a malicious player. I think he had eyes for the ball and didn't see the other player.
'But it made it more difficult. They used their extra man quite well, especially in the latter stages, and they put us under pressure. But we defended well and didn't give up many chances. If they'd scored that chance at 0-0, that might have made it a difficult game.
'But I don't think they had any clear-cut chances in the second half, which is testament to how well we defended our box.
'On a personal level, it was nice to get back into the team. I want to play games but Seb Faure's done really well at right-back and I've had to wait for my chance.
'I was fortunate that Bilel was suspended after the Airdrieonians game and I came back in. But we won — and we kept a clean sheet — so that was great.'

never brought it up. so after a month I decided to stop going. when i went to get the cancellation forms they tried to find out why to keep us there. expected. but when they looked my membership up they didn't have me down as a black card member yet they still had it as a note.means nothing. but they told me that i will have to do a certified letter and pay 100 dollars to cancel. ridiculous. i called my fiance and told him what they had said.
when my fiance called to talk to the manager being one himself. Mark (the manager) told him why didn't you ask him when you upgraded to black card about any contracts. my fiance said because it's hugo's job to state all the facts. Mark was laughing during the phone conversation being a real smartass knowing that he had scammed another person.
I was at the gym at the time when my fiance called and decided to go talk to mark myself. he pretended to be polite and understanding. Real jerk. We expected a manager to deal with the employees that didn't do the right job. things were broken, tanning bed burned me and they claimed i never told them about it(I did), and they're contract and rules are contradicting.
They are a horrible team and they know what they do is wrong. and yet the manager of all people laugh instead of fixing the problem. besides all that they have disrespectful employees. one of them hit on me knowing I had two kids and a fiance by trying to give me his phone number. they are rude, disrespectful,scam artists, liars, and cheats.
they deserve to be shut down. I check up on the better business bureau and they have a F rating. shows right there. i wish i would have known that before i signed up. with the fact that they have complaints all over the US. stay away and do not get caught up losing a lot of money. BEWARE.

#mind, #self, change, change yourself, dealing with yourself, delusion, DISAPPOINTMENT, illusion
Mahatma Gandhi was right when he said— "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." Because the Biggest change you can make is in your HEART!
Deep deep down, I knew that I could change, but what a journey!!! A lot of work, and for many, many times I thought I could not handle it. It took me a long period to understand and that's the point the you have to recognize that you can ask for help, you are not alone and that you can bring closer to you a support system.
But in order to get to that point, you need to see first that there's a problem, or better say,: there's something that you do not enjoy that much and voile you want to change. You need to admit that you are not perfect [and that this totally fine, and you may never be perfect, and actually that's the beauty of life], but you are enough and there's room to grow, room to improve. And at least for me, when admit that I was able to look outside for help.
In my practice, we learn that the self that appears to our mind which seems that it is separate from us, thas its only life ( all the voices: you are not good enough, not smart enough, not beautiful enough (too thin, too fat..)… actually DO NOT EXIST. Our mind, our self grasping/ignorant/ego creates those "preconceived" ideas and we believe those. And that's a huge misunderstanding, because we keep our entire lives believing that!
Then to make things even more difficult, we cling to those ideas, try to protect these delusions and wait for externals matters, phenomena, and people to change our perspective about ourselves. We look for external things to prove us wrong, and over and over we find ourselves disappointed , hurt, frustrated. For example: id we have a self-worth issue: it's the job that did not validate me, the love that did not give me the love I needed and so on.
So bottom line: we believe those illusions, we think that those are fixed, this is who we are and that we cannot change, and to complicate matters, we want something from outside ourselves to make us believe that those are not true.
Sorry, all that is a BIG RECIPE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT!
Why keeping treating you badly, keeping believing and keep rehearsing the same negative stories over and over again in your head. Understand that at the end we are creating these ideas, they are not existing out of nowhere. So, ignorance only has power when you believe it!
"One never hears without opening one's mind (heart)."
Open your heart! Believe the positive, believe that you are an unique, precious human being and that those thoughts are just thoughts. The powerful inner force you have inside yourself is much, but much more graceful … and you just need to open to that, that's what you need to listen to!
Dare to change, and if you cannot do it alone (which chances are you can't), ask for help, extend your hand… Everything is going to be alright! 🙂
Going back to Ghandi, if you want to see the change in the World, we have to start somewhere, and this somewhere is inside ourselves, especially how we relate to ourselves, our perception about who we are!
Change yourself and change the world!

"And I don't get it," says Jay. " I've worked hard to achieve so little."
Born to a postal worker father and a high school drama teacher mother, Jay has always dreamed of working in the postal/acting profession. Now he is one jacket closer to that dream.

Job interviews generally suck (for me, anyway). You're put on the hot seat and grilled for your industry knowledge and experience. And if you're anything like me, when I'm the centre of attention for more than five minutes at a time, I sweat. Profusely. When the beaded drops aggressively show up as a sweatstashe or roll down the side of my face and leap off my jaw line, I know I'm hooped and will probably never hear from the interviewer(s) again. I mean, who wants an uncontrollable sweaty co-worker?
But what's worse is the mental mind fuck that comes post-interview. You become an overly obsessive, anxious version of yourself that makes you and everyone around you uncomfortable. Your thoughts betray you and play games on you. These are some of the thoughts that have gone through my head post-interview:
He didn't write any notes down during the interview. The interviewer never asked for my salary expectations? Fuck, I didn't get the job. Her body language gave off an 'I'm not impressed' vibe. Do I send a thank you email right now? It's been a week and still no answer. How long should I wait to send a follow-up email or phone call? I'll wait a few more days to follow-up because I don't want to come across as needy and impatient. It's been two days since I sent that follow-up email and still no response. They must be busy, right? My email/phone must not be working properly, right?
Maybe I'm naive with how things work in the corporate world, but I always appreciate when a hiring manager sends a follow-up to all the candidates he or she interviewed. It gives each candidate an official answer and it shows that the interviewer respects each candidate for taking the time to prepare beforehand and meet for the interview.
If I don't hear from the interviewer at all, I subconsciously blacklist them and the company and get turned off by them forever. It may be petty, especially if a job offer at said company presents itself down the road, but not replying to interviewed candidates reveals to me that the company's core values are probably not in line with mine.

In a 4-1 vote, the Bloomfield Council voted at last evening's conference meeting to proceed with a feasibility study to analyze the long and short-term costs of disbanding the Bloomfield Parking Authority. Council representatives Chalet and Dunigan were absent.
The study will be performed in-house, with the participation of the township and Parking Authority auditors.
The proposal, introduced by Councilman Michael Venezia, sparked a heated exchange between Venezia and Mayor McCarthy, who accused Venezia of wanting to disband the Parking Authority "because I wouldn't put Pete Strumolo [Chairman of the Bloomfield Democratic Party] on the board." Venezia retorted, "Is this the same Pete Strumolo you're begging for a county job?" – an accusation McCarthy denied. "I haven't spoken to Pete Strumolo for six months," he said.
Venezia explained his proposal by pointing out that Bayonne had disbanded their parking authority and Montclair is in the process of doing the same with theirs. He stated the Bloomfield Parking Authority was created "to close a budget gap" and that these authorities are created as "cash cows." Councilman Nick Joanow agreed with proceeding with the study, citing $21 million in debt incurred by the Parking Authority as a risk to the township. He also stated that the costs should have been absorbed by the developer. Joanow said the study would give the council the information it needs to help guide the decision.
Councilman Carlos Bernard concurred as well, citing numerous complaints about overzealous enforcement of parking meter fees by the authority, a reason Mayor McCarthy dismissed as "inane."
At the recent public meeting on the Bloomfield Center Redevelopment, Parking Authority Attorney Joe Baumann said that the Parking Authority was needed to build the parking deck that is integral to the Bloomfield Center redevelopment, as the project was "too difficult" for a developer to execute due to the unusual shape of the property. He said at the time the parking deck will be a "public asset" that will benefit generations to come.
In other actions, the council voted 4-1 to appoint two temporary Fire Captains to replace two captains who have been out for long periods. Fire Chief McCarthy explained that the New Jersey Civil Service had contacted the township warning that they do not consider "Acting Captain," which is the current title of those who replace absent personnel, to be a legitimate position and that the township needed to revise their status. Councilman Venezia voted no.
Councilman Joanow once again sought the repeal of the sewer ordinance that mandates homeowners are responsible for blockages between their curbs and the sewer main. Mayor McCarthy pointed out that the township's insurance does not cover that portion of the sewer system and said that this item had previously been deferred in order to await further financial information.
The council voted 4-1 to move forward with the repeal on first reading at the next council meeting, with the stipulation that at that time the financial information would be provided. DPW Director Anthony Nesto spoke, suggesting that the ordinance could be revised so that situations could be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Councilman Bernard proposed that the council work to rezone the area around Winsor Place, a street in the 3rd Ward that consists exclusively of single-family homes, although it is zoned R-2B, which allows two-family homes. Neighbors in the area spoke during the public comment period asking the council to rezone the area to prevent the building of two-family homes or the conversion of existing single family homes into multi-unit dwellings.
Community Development Director Glenn Domenick said he would work with Township Attorney Brian Aloia to analyze the tax maps and look at the total zone to understand the current makeup of the area, and would then work to draft a new zoning ordinance as appropriate.
Bernard also spoke about the problems of commercial vehicles parking on streets overnight in his ward, including taxicabs and other vehicles not regulated by the current ordinance, which differentiates the regulated vehicles by weight rather than function. Chief Goul said the ordinance could be revised to include all vehicles with both commercial and livery license plates and the council agreed that the ordinance should be examined and revised.
Also at last night's meeting, a hearing was held for the owner of Heart Breakers go-go bar, where numerous incidents involving the police have prompted concern. An attorney for the owner, Jamdan Associates, asked that Bloomfield provide police security on Thursday evenings (as is done on Fridays and Saturdays). He said the bar owner would agree to stop serving liquor at 1 a.m. and plans to install infrared cameras outside the building. The council passed a resolution to provide the police coverage under those conditions.
The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, September 4, 2012, in the council chambers at 7 p.m.

I called about booking a birthday party. After asking several questions I found out they no longer offer the package I wanted (which was still listed on their page). I was then told we could do a walk-in party and still be able to bring in our cake (great, most places don t if you don t purchase a birthday package). I was told to call ahead to make sure lanes were available, but when I said we d be doing strictly the laser maze and arcade games he said there was no need to call ahead then. What he didn't tell me is that they are sometimes closed to the public (how would I know this???). We show up for our walk-in party to find they are closed to the public for the next three hours. They gave us 2 for 1 bowling coupons for North Rock lanes (who had a tournament currently going on, so had very limited lanes and they didn't know the coupons were being handed out). I doubt I ll be returning due to the lack of information resulting in scrambling to have a party and the fact they gave coupons for a place who didn't even have decent availability for anyone going there (though they were very accommodating to us and had wonderful staff to help our party turn out a success). The staff at The Alley was apologetic (though apologies seemed robotic and insincere), but offered nothing to help us out or give us any incentive to return in the future.

What a fun way to spend the day with the family! There are enough activities to keep everyone happy. Our family has so much fun, especially on the go carts and in the laser maze. The Alley has great "all you can play" type packages that make spending the day there fun and reasonably-priced.

A certain staff member, Kat "I don't give out my last name", "I am the manager, honey" is everything someone in customer service should not be. She was incredibly rude, impatient and condescending. When faced with an issue, she immediately blamed the group of customers, citing several different reasons why they were at fault. There were two officers with the WPD also there at the time, and neither one gave any indication that the crowd was being difficult or unruly. I, nor the ten other people I was with, will be returning.

"In material realm, one should not put all the eggs in one basket for happiness; while in spiritual realm, one should put all the eggs in one basket-named God-for happiness."
"To be of the 'fallen' is to surrender to this material realm and all that it has to offer which is doomed to decay and die, but to be of the 'Light' is to surrender to the spirit and that it has to offer which is endless and eternal. Jesus Christ is the Light and the Way. Trust in Him and only Him."
"The only true sickness is home-sickness, for each and every one of us can feel how we are part of two totally separate realities. We have one foot in a linear, finite reality that seems quite bleak sometimes, and the other foot in an expansive, eternal reality that is encompassed in unconditional love for all things and also a oneness with all things."
"Beware of the great attractors, who can manifest whatever their hearts desire. Fear them, for they are God's in their own small universe, and like God's, can destroy your entire world; with a single thought."

Bigger butts are presently a trending beauty craze that has come to stay. Of all the beauty trends that come and go , bigger butts is one beauty trend that is not only good and deserves to stay but is actually beneficial.
Bigger butts for men and women has a lot of unsung benefits.
Bigger butts for men and women has a lot of unsung benefits.
1 Fashion Appeal:Apart from the fact that bigger butts for men might require using more fabrics and taking pants (trousers) length measurements from the back as against the side, it makes pants sit better on the body and look better on both men and women. Talk about the extra cushion to accentuate the primate S shape of the body . Clothes simply fit better and that is one of the major indications of beauty
2 Confidence:Bigger butts increase confidence, help stability and improve the posture of the carrier.
3 Strength:Bigger butts in most cases means bigger glutes and the glutes is a very important muscle for intercourse especially for men. It can go a long way in getting a pat on the back or a slap in the face.
4 Cushion effects:There is no denying the cushion effect of the butt. Recently a woman fell down on the new York side work and her butt disintegrated the side work. She was retrieved unhurt because of the cushion effect that her butt has given her. There has been reported cases of getting shot in the butt and the butt in all it's super hero glory would protect vital organs in the process, as the flesh works like air bags protecting against vital organs. These cushion effects have also be said to make natural childbirth less painful. This might be the reason why natural births are still the order of the day in African countries where bigger butts abound in all fulsomeness. That and the fact that there are poor health care infrastructures. The real deal about the childbirth is with a big butt comes big hips and women with bigger hips carry pregnancies better and deliver easier.
5 Sex Appeal:Bigger butts can improve both a man and woman's sex appeal, it's one part of the body that is equally as sensitive as the breasts. The shape and beauty of a butt can go a long way in turning on or turning off. Ass clapping also becomes possible and easier with bigger butts. If you don't know what ass clapping is , you probably don't need to know."I love a woman with a nice peach shaped rear, I don't know what it is about it, But it really gets me going!" says Bryan, 32.
6 Well being:Bigger butts reduces the risk of diabetes, so says a study. A little extra padding on the butt can help shield from diabetes, aside making you a better dancer and what not. The subcutaneous fat in the back side contains anti-inflammatory enzyme that could release artery blockage. It is also effective in encouraging your body to use your natural insulin to fight off diseases and ironically, lose weight.
7 Longevity:
Bigger butts can prolong your life. And we are not making this up . Experts have explained that the body stores fats mostly in the mid section of the body either in front around the belly region or at the back t first before moving to the arms, the face, the chest and the entire body.It's about being pear shaped or apple shaped or the newly added guitar shape for people that look like a guitar turned up side down. Many studies have shown that people who accumulate fat around the abdomen and stomach are more likely to die of heart disease and other causes than bottom-heavy people. People with fat in their thighs and backsides may live longer because the fat traps harmful fatty particles and actively secretes helpful compounds, it produces fewer inflammatory cytokines according to a report . The full report in international journal of obesity goes further to explain figuratively that bigger butts are the understated wonder of the world.
|Now you know this lady is going to outlive you, well if she
can survive the back pain.

I recently went to an event celebrating the opening of fabulous lingerie shop Intimacy on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The concept is to holistically fit you for your perfect bra – no tape measure, no standardized sizing. They visually size you up, considering the normal factors (band width, cup size), as well as density and support. In essence, what your breasts really need. Skeptical as I was going into the dressing room (hey, I'm a fashion editor – how off could my bra size be?), they totally revolutionized the way I think about my bust. I am officially replacing my 34A, completely unsupportive little slips of lace, with molded cup, underwire 32Bs that do my shape justice.
But one part of this experience got me thinking. Despite my assurances that I'm content with my tiny top half, the saleswoman couldn't resist bringing me several push-up options. She finally got me to try one on, and I'll admit it was nice to see a little cleavage. But I just don't think it's for me. Somewhere in my mind the phrase "false advertising" kept flashing. But I love to wear 4-inch heels and bronzer – so why do a I draw the line at my bust line?
What's the verdict ladies? Do you like a little extra cleavage? Or is au naturel more your style?

A year ago i was sitting at my laptop scrolling up and down my blog wondering if there are any other bloggers in Peshawar?? it was hard to accept that i might be the only one in my city. But fortunately when i came to im|sciences i met this very talented blogger friend (Maheen Shoaib Sahibzada) and then (Muhammad Ismail) the founder of the mentors .I came up with this idea of meetup "bloggers meetup" it was happening all over the Pakistan but Peshawar. I started planing it out, i told my blogger friends about the idea and planning.The purpose of this meetup was to meet pro bloggers of our city and discuss blogging and the problem they've faced so far.So i started looking for a sponsorship and a hosting for the meetup and i'm very thankful to the team mentors for sponsoring the meetup Salman Ahmad and Muhammad Uzair the co-founders of peshawar 2.o and basecamp peshawar for hosting us. They made it happen,
The first blogger's meetup held at basecamp Peshawar on 12 march 2016,unfortunately we do not have much bloggers currently in Peshawar.Only a few came to the meetup but the ideas and their passion for blogging was remarkable.I'm thankful to all who participated thank you Haseeb shah founder of h&s studio for covering the event and i promise that together we'll take the next meetup to the next level.

In the primary visual cortex of primates and carnivores, functional architecture can be characterized by maps of various stimulus features such as orientation preference (OP), ocular dominance (OD), and spatial frequency. It is a long-standing question in theoretical neuroscience whether the observed maps should be interpreted as optima of a specific energy functional that summarizes the design principles of cortical functional architecture. A rigorous evaluation of this optimization hypothesis is particularly demanded by recent evidence that the functional architecture of orientation columns precisely follows species invariant quantitative laws. Because it would be desirable to infer the form of such an optimization principle from the biological data, the optimization approach to explain cortical functional architecture raises the following questions: i) What are the genuine ground states of candidate energy functionals and how can they be calculated with precision and rigor? ii) How do differences in candidate optimization principles impact on the predicted map structure and conversely what can be learned about a hypothetical underlying optimization principle from observations on map structure? iii) Is there a way to analyze the coordinated organization of cortical maps predicted by optimization principles in general? To answer these questions we developed a general dynamical systems approach to the combined optimization of visual cortical maps of OP and another scalar feature such as OD or spatial frequency preference. From basic symmetry assumptions we obtain a comprehensive phenomenological classification of possible inter-map coupling energies and examine representative examples. We show that each individual coupling energy leads to a different class of OP solutions with different correlations among the maps such that inferences about the optimization principle from map layout appear viable. We systematically assess whether quantitative laws resembling experimental observations can result from the coordinated optimization of orientation columns with other feature maps.
Neurons in the visual cortex form spatial representations or maps of several stimulus features. How are different spatial representations of visual information coordinated in the brain? In this paper, we study the hypothesis that the coordinated organization of several visual cortical maps can be explained by joint optimization. Previous attempts to explain the spatial layout of functional maps in the visual cortex proposed specific optimization principles ad hoc. Here, we systematically analyze how optimization principles in a general class of models impact on the spatial layout of visual cortical maps. For each considered optimization principle we identify the corresponding optima and analyze their spatial layout. This directly demonstrates that by studying map layout and geometric inter-map correlations one can substantially constrain the underlying optimization principle. In particular, we study whether such optimization principles can lead to spatially complex patterns and to geometric correlations among cortical maps as observed in imaging experiments.
Neurons in the primary visual cortex are selective to a multidimensional set of visual stimulus features, including visual field position, contour orientation, ocular dominance, direction of motion, and spatial frequency
Visual cortical maps are often spatially complex patterns that contain defect structures such as point singularities (pinwheels)
Minima of a given energy functional can be found by gradient descent which is naturally represented by a dynamical system describing a formal time evolution of the maps. Response properties in visual cortical maps are arranged in repetitive modules of a typical spatial length called hypercolumn. Optimization models that reproduce this typical length scale are therefore effectively pattern forming systems with a so-called 'cellular' or finite wavelength instability, see
A recent study found strong evidence for a common design in the functional architecture of orientation columns
The presentation of our results is organized as follows. First we introduce a formalism to model the coordinated optimization of complex and real valued scalar fields. Complex valued fields can represent for instance orientation preference (OP) or direction preference maps
Second we apply the derived formalism by calculating optima of two representative low order examples of coordinated optimization models and examine how they impact on the resulting map layout. Two higher order optimization models are analyzed in
We model the response properties of neuronal populations in the visual cortex by two-dimensional scalar order parameter fields which are either complex valued or real valued
OP maps are characterized by so-called
OD maps can be described by a real valued two-dimensional field
In this article, we view visual cortical maps as optima of some energy functional
All visual cortical maps are arranged in repetitive patterns of a typical wavelength
The coupled dynamics we considered is of the form
How many inter-map coupling energies
These higher order terms contain combinations of terms in
Numerical simulations of the dynamics
We studied
At second order in
Using symmetry considerations we derived inter-map coupling energies up to eighth order in the fields, see
Pinwheels are prominent features in OP maps. We therefore also analyze how different optimization principles impact on the pinwheel positions with respect to the co-evolving feature maps. The product-type coupling energies are expected to favor pinwheels at OD extrema. Pinwheels are zeros of
From the previous considerations we assume all coupling coefficients of the energies to be positive. A negative coupling coefficient can be saturated by higher order inter-map coupling terms. In the following, we discuss the impact of the low order inter-map coupling energies on the resulting optima of the system using the derived amplitude equations. The corresponding analysis for higher order inter-map coupling energies is provided in
As indicated by numerical simulations and weakly nonlinear analysis of the uncoupled OD dynamics, see
In the following we study three scenarios in which inter-map coupling can lead to pinwheel stabilization. First, a deformation of the OP stripe solution can lead to the creation of pinwheels in this solution. Second, inter-map coupling can energetically prefer the (deformed) OP rhombic solutions compared to the stripe solutions. Finally, inter-map coupling can lead to the stabilization of new PWC solutions.
For the low order interaction terms the amplitude equations are given by
We first studied the impact of the low order product-type coupling energy. Here, the constant
In the case of OD stripes, see
In addition to the OP stripe patterns there exist rhombic OP solutions, see
In the case the OD map is a constant,
The stability of the
For increasing inter-map coupling strength the amplitudes of the OP solutions are shown in
The parameter dependence of OP solutions when interacting with OD hexagons is shown in
To summarize, stripe solutions were deformed but no pinwheels were created for this solution. The rhombic solutions were energetically not preferred for low inter-map coupling whereas for intermediate inter-map coupling these solutions lose pinwheels and became stripe solutions. Instead, additional pinwheel rich solutions with a crystal layout became stable for intermediate inter-map coupling. For large inter-map coupling orientation selectivity was completely suppressed.

Vertical lines: stability range of OD stripes, hexagons, and constant solution. Magenta (orange) line: transition of stripes (rhombs) to the orientation scotoma solution. Blue line: stability border for the
The uniform solution
To summarize, the low order product-type inter-map coupling leads in case of OD hexagons to a transition from pinwheel free stripe solutions towards pinwheel crystals. The design of the PWC is an example of an orientation hypercolumn dominated by one pinwheel. With increasing inter-map coupling the PWC solution is suppressed until only the homogeneous solution is stable. In case of OD stripes or the constant solution the OP solutions are pinwheel free stripe pattern.
When using a gradient-type inter-map coupling energy the interaction terms are independent of the OD shift
A coupling to OD stripes is easy to analyze in the case of a gradient-type inter-map coupling. The energetically preferred solutions are OP stripes with the direction perpendicular to the OD stripes for which
In the case the OD map is a constant,
In the case of OD hexagons the amplitude equations read
The course of the stationary amplitudes when interacting with OD hexagons is shown in

The phase diagram of this coupling energy is shown in
Vertical black lines: stability range of OD stripes, hexagons, and constant solution. Blue line: stability border for the
The uniform solution
The iso-orientation lines are again perfectly perpendicular to OD borders and this is independent of the bias
Overall this OP map is dominated by uniform regions around hyperbolic points. In contrast to the ipsi center PWC all pinwheels in this OP map organize a roughly similar fraction of the cortical surface.
In this study we presented a symmetry-based analysis of models formalizing that visual cortical architecture is shaped by the coordinated optimization of different functional maps. In particular, we focused on the question of whether and how different optimization principles specifically impact on the spatial layout of functional columns in the primary visual cortex. We identified different representative candidate optimization principles. We developed a dynamical systems approach for analyzing the simultaneous optimization of interacting maps and examined how their layout is influenced by coordinated optimization. In particular, we found that inter-map coupling can stabilize pinwheel-rich layouts even if pinwheels are intrinsically unstable in the weak coupling limit. We calculated and analyzed the stability properties of solutions forming spatially regular layouts with pinwheels arranged in a crystalline array. We analyzed the structure of these pinwheel crystals in terms of their stability properties, spatial layout, and geometric inter-map relationships. For all models, we calculated phase diagrams showing the stability of the pinwheel crystals depending on the OD bias and the inter-map coupling strength. Although differing in detail and exhibiting distinct pinwheel crystal phases for strong coupling, the phase diagrams exhibited many commonalities in their structure. These include the general fact that the hexagonal PWC phase is preceded by a phase of rhombic PWCs and that the range of OD biases over which pinwheel crystallization occurs is confined to the stability region of OD patch solutions.
Our analytical calculations of attractor and ground states close a fundamental gap in the theory of visual cortical architecture and its development. They rigorously establish that models of interacting OP and OD maps in principle offer a solution to the problem of pinwheel stability
Independent of its predictions, our study clarifies the general mathematical structure of interaction dominated optimization models. To the best of our knowledge our study for the first time describes an analytical approach for examining the solutions of coordinated optimization models for OP and OD maps. Our symmetry-based phenomenological analysis of conceivable coupling terms provides a general classification and parametrization of biologically plausible coupling terms. To achieve this we mapped the optimization problem to a dynamical systems problem which allows for a perturbation expansion of fixed points, local minima, and optima. Using weakly nonlinear analysis, we derived amplitude equations as an approximate description near the symmetry breaking transition. We identified a limit in which inter-map coupling becomes effectively unidirectional enabling the use of the uncoupled OD patterns. We studied fixed points and calculated their stability properties for different types of inter-map coupling energies. This analysis revealed a fundamental difference between high and low order coupling energies. For the low order versions of these energies, a strong inter-map coupling typically leads to OP map suppression, causing the orientation selectivity of all neurons to vanish. In contrast, the higher order variants of the coupling energies do generally not cause map suppression but only influence pattern selection, see
Our results indicate that a patchy layout of a second visual map interacting with the OP map is important for the effectiveness of pinwheel stabilization by inter-map coupling. Such a patchy layout can be easily induced by an asymmetry in the representation of the corresponding stimulus feature such as eye dominance or spatial frequency preference. In spatial frequency maps, for instance, low spatial frequency patches tend to form islands in a sea of high spatial frequency preference
Several lines of biological evidence appear to support the picture of interaction induced pinwheel stabilization. Supporting the notion that pinwheels might be stabilized by the interaction with patchy OD columns, visual cortex is indeed dominated by one eye in early postnatal development and has a pronounced patchy layout of OD domains
One important general observation from our results is that map organization was often not inferable by simple qualitative considerations on the energy functional. The organization of interaction induced hexagonal pinwheel crystals reveals that the relation between coupling energy and resulting map structure is quite complex and often counter intuitive. We analyzed the stationary patterns with respect to intersection angles and pinwheel positions. In all models, intersection angles of iso-orientation lines and OD borders have a tendency towards perpendicular angles whether the energy term mathematically depends on this angle, as for the gradient-type energies, or not, as for the product-type energies. Intersection angle statistics thus are not a very sensitive indicator of the type of interaction optimized. Mathematically, these phenomena result from the complex interplay between the single map energies and the interaction energies. In case of the low order gradient-type inter-map coupling energy all pinwheels are located at OD extrema, as expected from the used coupling energy. For other analyzed coupling energies, however, the remaining pinwheels are located either at OD saddle-points (low order product-type energy) or near OD borders (higher order gradient-type energy), in contrast to the expection that OD extrema should be energetically preferred. Remarkably, such correlations, which are expected from the gradient-type coupling energies, occur also in the case of the product-type energies. Remarkably, in case of product type energies pinwheels are located at OD saddle-points. which is not expected per se and presumably result from the periodic layout of OP and OD maps. Correlations between pinwheels and OD saddle-points have not yet been studied quantitatively in experiments and may thus provide valuable information on the principles shaping cortical functional architecture.
Our results demonstrate that, although distinct types of coupling energies can leave distinguishing signatures in the structure of maps shaped by interaction (as the OP map in our example), drawing precise conclusions about the coordinated optimization principle from observed map structures is not possible for the analyzed models. In the past numerous studies have attempted to identify signatures of coordinated optimization in the layout of visual cortical maps and to infer the validity of specific optimization models from aspects of their coordinated geometry
We examined the impact of different interaction energies on the structure of local minima and ground states of models for the coordinated optimization of a complex and a real scalar feature map such as OP and OD maps. The models were constructed such that in the absence of interactions, the maps reorganized into simple stripe or blob pattern. In particular, the complex scalar map without interactions would form a periodic stripe pattern without any phase singularity. In all models, increasing the strength of interactions could eventually stabilize qualitatively different, more complex, and biologically more realistic patterns containing pinwheels that can become the energetic ground states for strong enough inter-map interactions. The way in which this happens provides fundamental insights into the relationships between map structure and energy functionals in optimization models for visual cortical functional architecture.
Our results demonstrate that the structure of maps shaped by inter-map interactions is in principle informative about the type of coupling energy. The organization of the complex scalar map that optimizes the joined energy functional was in general different for all different types of coupling terms examined. We identified a class of hPWC solutions which become stable for large inter-map coupling. This class depends on a single parameter which is specific to the used inter-map coupling energy. Furthermore, as shown in
In the case of the product-type coupling energies, the resulting phase diagrams are relatively complex as stationary solutions and stability borders depend on the magnitude of the OD bias. Here, even quantitative values of model parameters can in principle be constrained by analysis of the map layout. In contrast, for the gradient-type coupling energies, the bias dependence can be absorbed into the coupling strength and only selects the stationary OD pattern. This leads to relatively simple phase diagrams. For these models map layout is thus uninformative of quantitative model parameters. We identified several biologically very implausible OP patterns. In the case of the product-type energies, we found orientation scotoma solutions which are selective to only two preferred orientations. In the case of the low order gradient-type energy, we found OP patterns containing pinwheels with a topological charge of 1 which have not yet been observed in experiments. If the relevant terms in the coupling energy could be determined by other means, the parameter regions in which these patterns occur could be used to constrain model parameters by theoretical bounds.
The information provided by map structure overall appears qualitative rather than quantitative. In both low order inter-map coupling energies (and the gradient-type higher order coupling energy, see
Our analysis conclusively demonstrates that OD segregation can stabilize pinwheels and induce pinwheel-rich optima in models for the coordinated optimization of OP and OD maps when pinwheels are intrinsically unstable in the uncoupled dynamics of the OP map. This allows to systematically assess the possibility that inter-map coupling might be the mechanism of pinwheel stabilization in the visual cortex. The analytical approach developed here is independent of details of specific optimization principles and thus allowed to systematically analyze how different optimization principles impact on map layout. Moreover, our analysis clarifies to which extend the observation of the layout in physiological maps can provide information about optimization principles shaping visual cortical organization.
The common design observed in experimental OP maps
We studied the intersection angles between iso-orientation lines and OD borders. The intersection angle of an OD border with an iso-orientation contour
We studied how the emerging OD map depends on the overall eye dominance. To this end we mapped the uncoupled OD dynamics to a Swift-Hohenberg equation containing a quadratic interaction term instead of a constant bias. This allowed for the use of weakly nonlinear analysis to derive amplitude equations as an approximate description of the shifted OD dynamics near the bifurcation point. We identified the stationary solutions and studied their stability properties. Finally, we derived expressions for the fraction of contralateral eye dominance for the stable solutions.
Here we describe how to map the Swift-Hohenberg equation
We studied
We insert the expansion
At second order we get
The amplitude
We decomposed the amplitude
We calculate the stability borders of the OD stripe, hexagon, and constant solution in the uncoupled case. This treatment follows
The spatial layout of the OD hexagons consists of hexagonal arrays of ipsilateral eye dominance blobs in a sea of contralateral eye dominance, see
To compare the obtained solutions with physiological OD maps we quantified the fraction of neurons selective to the contralateral eye inputs. For stripe and hexagon solutions we thus calculated the fraction of contralateral eye dominated territory

When comparing The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind vs Proteus, the Slant community recommends The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for most people. In the question"What are the best low-spec PC games?" The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is ranked 14th while Proteus is ranked 35th. The most important reason people chose The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is:
Users are free to create their character from a pool of 20 different classes, which makes for a wide range of choice into how one wants to roleplay.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Over 20 character classes available for player builds
Users are free to create their character from a pool of 20 different classes, which makes for a wide range of choice into how one wants to roleplay.
Pro Lost of guilds to join and side quests to do
You don't even have to complete the main story line to get a full game worth of play
Pro Lots of mods available
Mods that equate to full expansions and update the game to modern levels are available
Pro Detailed
Pro Gain levels from play
Leveling ones character works through what actions one performs. If a fighter and one fights a lot, they will gain experience in fighting, if a mage and one uses magic a lot one gains experience in magic.
Morrowind is one of the first RPGs to level in this way and is now a staple of the franchise.
Pro Indepth storytelling
Pro Set in an alien world with Imaginative environments
Pro Simple mechanics
Proteus is more a walking simulator than a game, which makes it a great introduction to the controls of a first person view title as that is all one will really do, walk around. There are no real goals to the game other than walking to advance the seasons of the environment in order to see them. No confusing settings, no skill tress or complicated mechanics, which is great for people that find those types of things confusing or too stressful.
Pro Works well on low resource hardware
This is great for those that do not own a dedicated gaming rig and just have a low resource system such as a laptop or low priced tower since more people will be more likely to own such a device, which makes for a great introduction to gaming while not having to sink a large amount of money into a rig.
Con Shallow hack and slash combat
Combat is a bit basic with no information on enemy health and not much in a way of enemy AI. Bad guys will just go straight for the player and all one can do is hack and slash until all are dead. Over time this become quite boring and annoying as there is really no depth.
Con The graphics are dated, but can be modded to a more modern standard with mod packs
The game can be finished in about an hour, or even less if one is rushing. So while the game is fun to experience, once completed one knows pretty much what to expect and may not make for the best option when considering the cost compared to longevity.

BRENDAN TREMBATH: A Tasmanian artist has gone to great lengths to paint his entry for the nation's best known portrait prize.
His subject is in jail. John Avery is a former lawyer who was jailed for stealing almost half a million dollars to feed his addiction to art.
Avery made his name defending criminals including the Port Arthur gunman, Martin Bryant, but ended up in jail himself after he was discovered stealing from his clients and former law firm.
Felicity Ogilvie reports from Hobart.
FELICITY OGILVIE: Hobart artist, Stewart Macfarlane, is in his studio painting his Archibald entry.
Mr Macfarlane can't get his subject the former lawyer, John Avery into his studio because Avery is in jail.
STEWART MACFARLANE: And John Avery is a lawyer, high-profile lawyer who was very involved in the Tasmanian art scene particularly, loved art and also was well known for heading a famous case, he was involved in the Martin Bryant case, but he's currently in jail because his passion for art grew too enormous.
FELICITY OGILVIE: Avery used to buy Stewart Macfarlane's paintings. Now the artist is going into prison to paint Avery.
STEWART MACFARLANE: You're not allowed to take anything in, we can't take photographs, I had to get special permission to take a pencil and a paper in, so I can actually do a sketch and that's how it started.
FELICITY OGILVIE: He sketches during Avery's family visits.
STEWART MACFARLANE: So we've had about six visits, I've got another small sketch book as well as this but yeah but I've only got about 10 drawings. I do about one drawing every time I go and visit him.
FELICITY OGILVIE: Saturday AM asked for permission to go in with Mr Macfarlane while he sketched John Avery.
But the Prison Service refused because they don't want Avery to be interviewed.
The subject's bright eyes look out from the painting. Avery is wearing a simple white t-shirt, a police officer looms behind him.
STEWART MACFARLANE: Most Archibald entries are usually about somebody who's quite grand and whose got grand clothes on, they're a politician or they're some sports star and they're swanning about the play, some of them are naked, some of them have a bunch a grapes and bottle of wine. It's all very puffed up. This is a very humble paintings of a man just in a white t-shirt, basically in a very small room where I have to visit him. It's the only place I can get access into a little cubicle with a thick glass panel.
FELICITY OGILVIE: Mr Macfarlane says Avery has lost about 20 kilograms, he's shaved his beard and cropped his hair. But Avery hasn't lost his passion for art.
Avery will be due for parole in two-and-a-half years time. The former lawyer hopes to start a new career in the arts.

Facts About LIFE Ministry
L.I.F.E. Ministry began over 25 years ago in the living room of Ron and Joanne Highley in midtown Manhattan. There were 12 people in attendance all seeking freedom from homosexuality. This was begun at the request of the people who attended. Out of this humble beginning we have developed by the Lord's guidance and provision a ministry which now ministers in counselling, prayer, deliverance, support groups, phone counselling, teaching, newsletters and love to thousands of people. We are very grateful to God and to the ones He has quickened to stand with us as staff, Board members, courageous people working to be free and friends who believe in this work. It is an amazing privilege to handle the sacred truth that will set people free from this sin. We have had many lives brought out of deception and addiction and into His marvelous light and truth. We rejoice in His calling us to stand as people of God who are moving by the power of His Spirit and the Name of Jesus to do this much-needed work.
We are a 501(c)3 organization, non-profit, tax-exempt Christian ministry. We have offices in Manhattan for counselling and support group meetings. We do not charge for our counselling but are supported by gifts to the ministry. We have spoken for scores of colleges and churches as well as major television shows, both sacred and secular. We have now ministered to about 1500 men and 400 women in the years we have been working here. Other ministries have come into existence using our teaching model and we look forward to many more as we continue to teach and write. Our new book, "Mercy triumphs Over Judgment " will be published this year. L.I.F.E. stands for Living In Freedom Eternally and we stand on the truth of complete freedom from the addictive bondage of homosexuality. We have seen over 100 marriages and many "grandchildren" come from the people who have been set free in this ministry. May this web site be a blessing to all of you who access its information. Please pray for us.

Making Terrariums
Okay so, if you love Pinterest and Instagram surely you will be well in with the cactus and succulent craze! I defo am, and have wanted to make my own terrarium for SO long but only just got round to actually doing it!
Last weekend I went to Dobbies with my friend Emma (because what else would two 18 year olds do at the weekend?!) and I bought myself some cacti and succulent babies and I was oh so happy! I don't know why, but I find buying plants really satisfying, and I think because the weather has been so lovely (touch wood) I just felt like doing something nice and summery in my garden. If you are like me and haven't done much planting/gardening, this is the easiest thing to start with as they are so low maintenance!
Here is how I did it, if any of you want to give this super easy DIY a go…
The first thing you need to do is gather together some succulents and/or cacti, I took so long picking which ones I liked best and which ones all looked nice together.
You will also need a pot/ vase/ container, you can use anything you like! I liked the idea of using a glass one so I could see the layers, however it didn't all go to plan because the three I bought were way to small! Luckily, I found an empty vase and white plant pot in one of our cupboards. But definitely consider size when choosing your plants!
Then all you need are some small stones to put at the bottom or your pot for drainage, and some compost. It is recommended you use some soil specific for cacti and succulents, however I just used some multi purpose compost that we already had because I was way to excited to make them! I will just see how it goes… they are still alive and looking lovely anyway!
You can then get some more decorative stones to put on top and add anything else you like to jazz up your terrarium. Some people add little ornaments or shells to theirs.
Now you have all your bits and pieces together, it is time to make your terrarium!
*WARNING: Your cactus friends will spike you*
- Start by filling the bottom of your pot with the smaller stones.
- Spoon a decent amount of soil on top.
- Decide on an arrangement for your plants.
- Squeeze the pot of your succulent/cactus and remove any excess soil, so the roots can grow in the new soil.
- Dig a hole (down to the stones) in your pot and plant your succulent/cactus and add more soil if needed.
- Once all you plants are nicely tucked in, give them a little water and then add your decorative stones and anything else you have.
And that is it!
I LOVED making these, even if I did get pricked multiple times and was a tad nervous about killing them. But it all worked out well in the end and I am super happy with the result!
I have also made a little video so you can see the process for yourself and see just how quick and easy it is!
If any of you make some of your own or already have some I'd love to see!
Happy terrarium making!
Lots of love,

Noah's Ark Street
Not sure how this street in Orléans got its name, but rest assured that the only special delivery baggies available here were for dogs... Alas, if a dog owner hasn't been kind and considerate enough to use one of these bags, and you step in something unpleasant, don't fret. If you've landed in it with the left, it's considered good luck.
To remember this, left = luck, right = wrong.
(Yes, I used to be a teacher....)
