We now have available, both the Chalet and Highrise with specifically designed nests for the leafcutter bee. In addition, the Chalet and one of the Highrises, also has the cardboard wrap for the other small summer mason bees. With or without bees, this refuge and nesting site is a boon for increasing your summer pollinators. At this time leafcutter bees are availabe in Canada only.
Hello Margriet.
This is my second year with a mason bee nest. When I cracked
open my corn plastic stack to clean my nest last year I was surprised to find two
of the tunnels occupied by spiders.
I had at least 25 cocoons hatch this spring. I went out o check on the house
on Tuesday and noticed webs around the house. On closer inspection, at least
three tunnels had fine webs over the openings.
I assume the spiders prey on the bees. Am I correct? And if so, how do I get
rid of them without disturbing the entire corn plastic bee stack? Thanks, Kevin K
The only way I know is to catch and remove them from the site. This would be quite difficult I think.
I have seen a jumping spider catch a mason bee! So bees beware! Dr Margriet
Check out this link to a short video of a mason bee emerging from a cocoon. Thank you Kevin and Patty. The emerging process happens fast. Click on the link and go the the bottom of the page. http://beediverse.com/gallery/

COMMENT: Going for Gold: The Meaning of "Commercial Activity" in the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act in the Race for Buried Treasure in Sunken Shipwreck |
By Zhen Song | 62 Am. U. L. Rev. 1771 (2013) The theory of absolute sovereign immunity once provided broad jurisdictional immunity protections to foreign states and their properties from adjudication in U.S. courts. However, in the last century, Congress and the Supreme Court have both taken significant steps, in conformity with developments in international law, to limit the doctrine's application exclusively to acts that are sovereign in nature. Enacted in 1976, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act codified several exceptions to sovereign immunity, This Comment argues that a court's determination of what constitutes a commercial activity should remain consistent with the approach Congress and the Supreme Court have established—restricting the applicability of sovereign immunity via expansion of the boundaries of commercial activity. In light of the Court's decisions in Republic of Argentina v. Weltover and Saudi Arabia v. Nelson, courts should adopt a two-step analysis for determining whether an act is "commercial" under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Courts should first narrowly construe the scope of a foreign state's conduct relevant to the commercial activity analysis, and then broadly interpret the commercial nature of the identified act. Applying this two-part test, this Comment concludes that the Eleventh Circuit's analysis of "commercial activity" in Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc. v. Unidentified Shipwrecked Vessel not only contradicted the Supreme Court's interpretation of the term's scope in Weltover, but more importantly, it altered the boundaries of "commercial activity" and conflicted with the progress Congress and the Supreme Court have made in limiting the reach of the sovereign immunity doctrine. |

oh cool i cant believe i miss her to thanks for that man
here is Rachel Alucard her background :A blood-sucking vampire who is the head of the Alucard family and who dresses in a gothic lolita style. As the head of the family an enormous castle and a servant have been handed down to her from previous generations. She carries a cat-shaped umbrella called Nago and fights using a chubby, red bat familiar called Gii. She slipped out of her castle in search of fun because she hates to be bored. Although she is well educated and very calm, she is self-centered in an arrogant and domineering way. She doesn't move very much and generally has her attendants Nago and Gii take care of things for her. Because of her rough treatment of him, Gii has come close to dying many times.

IŌĆÖve had a bit of a break for the holidays, but welcome back to this blog series on Depression! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. It is important to remember that, while these times are often full of joy and togetherness, they can also be an especially hard time for anyone experiencing mental illnesses like depression. Unfortunately there isnŌĆÖt just a switch to get rid of depression ŌĆō it doesnŌĆÖt just go away when we want it to. I must admit to experiencing problems with my own depression during the holiday break, but I am lucky enough to have many supportive people in my life, as well as experience with dealing with depressive ŌĆśepisodesŌĆÖ.
Anyway, on we go! Last time I wrote, I was talking about getting diagnosed and reaching out. This time is all about treatments. I just want to start by saying that the treatments I list here are definitely not representative of everything that is out there, nor will they necessarily work for you. Different people respond best to different treatments. So please donŌĆÖt think that if you nothing you read here that sound like itŌĆÖs going to work for you that there isnŌĆÖt anything out there to help ŌĆō it just means that the small selection I put here isnŌĆÖt what you need. Get out there and find something!
There are many different psychological treatments available for people with depression. Each one is referred to as a therapy ŌĆō the most well-known of these is probably Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT. I have mentioned this before in my previous blog series on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ŌĆō it is a treatment that is effective in many different areas. CBT is based around the recognition that the way people think affects the way they feel and act. So, in the case of people with depression, thoughts are often quite negative, interfering with recovery and making them more vulnerable to continued depressive moods. CBT helps people to recognise their negative thought patterns and replace them with other thoughts ŌĆō more realistic and positive thoughts. It also helps them to look at their everyday life and recognise how certain behaviours and predispositions are making them more vulnerable to negative thoughts and moods.
Other therapies include:┬Ā Interpersonal Therapy (where the individual is taught how to relate to others in a more positive way); Family Therapy (this helps family and friends to learn more about depression and how to support the individual); and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (where the focus is on the individualŌĆÖs past and, in particular, their childhood and how these early experiences are affecting their life now). Each of these therapies are available from trained psychologists and psychiatrists. The main difference between these two is that psychologists are not doctors, while psychiatrists are. Psychiatrists also have the ability to prescribe medication if needed.
That brings me to anti-depressants. There is a lot of mixed feelings about this type of medication ŌĆō there is evidence that if you are placed on them too early in life then you may become unable to stop taking them for the rest of your life. There is that addiction risk. However, they can also serve as the light at the end of the tunnel. It is best to consult with a health professional about going on anti-depressants and also to do some research on them, too. I have been on anti-depressants in the past, and they definitely helped. They helped me get past that initial period of not knowing what to do with myself. Eventually, though, I made the decision to come off of them. If you DO go on anti-depressants, and decide that you want to stop, PLEASE talk to your doctor or psychiatrist first. You need to come off of them in steps because your body needs to become accustomed to their absence.
Alternatively there are some great self help suggestions that do tend to help when it comes to managing depression. These are basic things like getting more exercise, eating better, getting out and being social ŌĆō that sort of thing. For more info please refer to my first post for this series.
Unfortunately itŌĆÖs also a habit for people to ŌĆśself-medicateŌĆÖ to try and treat depression. Consuming alcohol and taking illicit drugs offer little relief in most cases ŌĆō alcohol is a depressant by nature, and this means that while it may make you feel better initially, it may make you feel worse in the long run. If you feel that you are taking more of these substances in an effort to avoid uncomfortable feelings, please consider talking to someone instead.
I hope that this post has given a little bit of insight into different treatments ŌĆō I have experienced CBT, anti-depressants, and basic maintenance in my journey to happiness. It can take a lot of strength to keep going with these things sometimes, especially when your mind is fighting against you every step of the way. But you just have to believe that there is something better out there for you ŌĆō and that there are people in your life that want to see you happy again.
Happy mental health

Yevgeny Svetlanov
This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Yevgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov (Russian: Евгéний Фёдорович Светлáнов; 6 September 1928—3 May 2002) was a Russian conductor, composer and, though less well-known, a pianist.
Life and work[edit]
Svetlanov was born in Moscow and studied conducting at the Moscow Conservatory. From 1955 he conducted at the Bolshoi Theatre, being appointed principal conductor there in 1962. From 1965 he was principal conductor of the USSR State Symphony Orchestra (now the Russian State Symphony Orchestra). In 1979 he was appointed principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. Svetlanov was also music director of the Residentie Orchestra (The Hague) from 1992 to 2000 and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1997 to 1999.
In 2000 Svetlanov was fired from his post with the Russian State Symphony Orchestra by the minister of culture of Russia, Mikhail Shvydkoi. The reason given was that Svetlanov was spending too much time conducting abroad and not enough time in Moscow.
Svetlanov was particularly noted for his interpretations of Russian works – he covered the whole range of Russian music, from Mikhail Glinka to the present day. He was also one of the few Russian conductors to conduct the entire symphonic output of Gustav Mahler.
His own compositions included a String Quartet (1948), Daugava, Symphonic Poem (1952), Siberian Fantasy for Orchestra, Op. 9 (1953), Images d'Espagne, Rhapsody for orchestra (1954), Symphony (1956), Festive Poem (1966),[1] Russian Variations for harp and orchestra (1975), Piano Concerto in c minor (1976) and Poem for Violin and Orchestra "To the Memory of David Oistrakh" (1975).[2]
Svetlanov was also an extremely competent pianist, three notable recordings being Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor[3] and Cello Sonata op. 19,[4] and a disc of Nikolai Medtner's piano music.
Warner Music France has issued an "Édition officielle Evgeny Svetlanov" featuring Svetlanov's legacy of recordings as conductor and pianist, which by July 2008 had run to 35 volumes of CDs, often multiple-CD boxed sets. The biggest of these is the 16-CD box of the complete symphonies of Nikolai Myaskovsky, to whose music Svetlanov was devoted.
The first Airbus A330 for Aeroflot, as well as asteroid 4135 Svetlanov, were named after Svetlanov.[5][6] The State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Russian Federation and an international conducting competition also carry his name.[7]

The Democratic National Convention is blowing into town in North Carolina, ready to take the stage and show America its moral outrage at the GOP.
Moral outrage?
There's no shortage of irony and outright knee-slappers coming from the Left these days, but the DNC — with its entourage of deviants, criminals, layabouts, social dependents, communists and closet Nazis — making a show of religiosity is the peak of absurdity.
Having originally nixed an offer from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Democrats have agreed to let Dolan give the closing blessing for the convention. Dolan and King Obama don't see eye-to-eye because of the Obamacare mandate that Catholic churches and organizations have to pay for coverage of abortions, sterilizations and contraceptives. Dolan has led a legal challenge against the mandate, but the DNC apparently agreed to book Dolan because he was already slated for the RNC.
Part of the impetus to include Dolan no doubt came from outrage over the DNC sponsoring a two-hour Muslim "Jumah" prayer event the Friday before the convention officially opened. Despite the Left-wing media's trying to disassociate the Democrats from the event, which featured extremist leaders of the American Islamist separatist movement, the Jumah event was featured on the convention's website.
Now that the "infidel" Dolan has been invited, what exactly will he be blessing?
Liberals like to pose as holders of the moral high ground, but it's only a pose.
Proverb 31:8 instructs us to speak up for and defend the helpless and the poor. But the DNC platform calls for more government-funded abortions that kill the most helpless of human beings and do nothing to uplift the women who submit to the procedures or their families. The DNC also calls for more government welfare programs, which are a snare for entire generations of Americans who can't escape government clutches once they are on those programs.
The Bible warns us repeatedly against the sins of adultery and sexual license, yet it's precisely liberal encouragement of young people having sex at earlier and earlier ages that brings about the demand for abortions that keeps Planned Parenthood and the rest of the eugenics industry alive. It's their efforts to encourage and recruit to the homosexual lifestyle that keeps the AIDS epidemic going and feeds the high teen suicide rate.
There is also the commandment against coveting your neighbor's possessions, but coveting the wealth of those who are better off than you is the very centerpiece of King Obama's campaign. The Occupy Wall Street movement has been coordinated by former Obama adviser Van Jones and Obama activist group ACORN to turn ordinary Americans against the "1 percent."
All this is in addition to the economic and political high jinks and deceit that are standard fare for the Democratic leadership. Carbon credits, anyone? How about some union payoffs?
The Republicans admittedly are far from perfect, as all we humans are, but for the DNC to obtain the moral high ground, it would first have to dig its way out of the sewer it currently makes its home.
If Cardinal Dolan needs any help writing the blessing, he might start with praying for the souls of the DNC.

The mainstream media was bound to gag on the WikiLeaks editor's new talk show, which is taped under house arrest, airs on Vladimir Putin's Russia TV and features Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as its first guest. But the Times review in particular has Glenn Greenwald tweeting nonstop.
For one thing, there's this line: "To some he was a hero, to others a spy, but nowadays [Assange] is most often portrayed as a nut job." Greenwald's reaction: "It would be fatal to hold your breath waiting for the NYT to ever use 'nut job' to describe anyone w/actual power in DC."
Greenwald also objected to the paper's characterization of Russia TV, the Russian government-funded network that carries Assange's show. According to the Times, "It's like the Voice of America, only with more money and a zesty anti-American slant. A few correspondents can sound at times like Boris and Natasha of 'Rocky & Bullwinkle' fame." Greenwald isn't having it: "It makes sense that the NYT scorns RT as a tawdry propaganda outlet because of all the falsehood-driven wars RT helped to start - oh, wait—" (In case you missed it, the Times helped promote Bush administration falsehoods during the campaign to sell the United States and its allies on the 2003 war with Iraq.)
But the paper of record was fair enough to point out that Assange challenged Nasrallah and what it characterized as the house line on Syria: "Unlike RT, Mr. Assange supports the opposition forces in Syria. He took Mr. Nasrallah to task for supporting every Arab Spring uprising except the one against Syria and asked why he wasn't doing more to stop the bloodshed." Put it another way, "Mr. Assange is in bed with the Kremlin, but on Tuesday's show he didn't put out."
You can watch the show and judge for yourself below. —PZS

BUSAN, South Korea – Around these parts, it used to be that the only way to see an international act was to book a flight to the Land of the Rising Sun, and get ready to shell out some major cash. Seoul manages to garner some solid acts from time to time, too, but Busan is usually relegated to flyover city status. Thankfully, the times have changed as a bunch of quality acts, at reasonable prices, have been stopping in Busan, leaving the people craving more.
This weekend is proof enough: The Handsome Furs and Teengirl Fantasy are here.
Hot on the heels of a summer packed with great music, Super Color Super and Busan Live have brought in not one, but two stellar acts. Veteran front man/guitarist Dan Boeckner of Montreal's Wolf Parade and his partner in crime and life, Alexei Perry, will bring Handsome Furs to Vinyl Underground this Saturday night. Having formed in 2005, the pair have had some creative years together and seem to be hitting their stride.
After signing with Subpop Records, a label that includes artists such as Nirvana and Death Cab for Cutie, opportunities started opening up for Handsome Furs. They began playing shows with big name acts such as Modest Mouse and David Cross. On the road, the band has had a chance to hone their live shows and write the majority of the material for their newest carefully crafted album. They have gained praise from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Spin and are now nearing the end of their second Asian tour in the last six months.
Saturday night at Vinyl, Handsome Furs will be bringing us a show we won't soon forget. Boeckner's passionate haunting vocals and his fine guitar skills intertwining with Perry's electro beats create poignant melodic songs that will be hard to shake days later.
The Ohio duo, Teengirl Fantasy, has received a lot of attention these days, from various sources such as Pitchfork and NME. They will be starting the night off right with their almost indefinable blend of chilled out electronic music. Teengirl Fantasy's "bedroom pop" will bring dense, bright layered beats that will surely pull everyone to the dance floor and keep them there.
The show is at Vinyl Underground, Aug, 14th: Doors open at 9:00 p.m. Local Korean favorites Sleepstalker are the opening act. Pre-show party, with free ticket giveaways, begins at 8 p.m. down the road at Ol'55, with Busan veterans Southbay and Psychorocket playing.
Tickets are 20,000 in advance or 24,000 at the door. They are available at Ol'55, Crossroads, Soul Train, or Eva's. Tickets can also be purchased by wire transfer until Friday. Check out more details here.

This episode shows that all the qualities that were to make Capote one of America's most famous writers were already present in the precocious second-grader; the energy, the bravado, the self-dramatisation, and the talent for parties that would culminate in the Black And White Ball of 1966, still the subject of awestruck Vanity Fair profiles three decades on. Capote was both sensualist and sensationalist, a prose stylist whose grasp of the dividing line between reality and fantasy was always shaky, and who insinuated himself, with his Court Jester persona and a gift for empathy that verged on genius, into the heart of that rarefied post-war American realm where the Colossi of the arts, high society and politics all met. Plimpton's book doesn't claim to be the definitive account of The Life (that honour rests with Gerald Clarke's 1988 biography), but you can't help thinking that this blizzard of anecdotes, fawning to scabrous, from Lauren Bacall, Diana Vreeland, Norman Mailer and dozens of others, would be the subject's preferred account.
The book can be divided into three phases, paralleling the arc of Capote's career: his Southern childhood and early success in New York; his celebrity apotheosis, with the publication of In Cold Blood and the patronage of the highest of society hostesses, like Babe Paley and Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy, whom he called his "swans"; and his decline and fall, precipitated by Esquire's publication of portions of Answered Prayers, the roman a clef in which he turned on his coterie with gleeful venom, and which rivals Jeffrey Bernard's collected columns as the longest suicide note in history.
Capote was a misfit, an identity he seized on from an early age. He played up his cuckoo nature in a variety of nests, swooshing down the corridors of the New Yorker in an opera cape when he worked there as an office boy, and alarming the good burghers of Kansas with his fey drawl when he descended on them to research In Cold Blood (though he did take Harper Lee along to play the straight man).
Even physically, he presented a contradiction in terms: according to the writer Leo Lerman, he was "a truck driver from the hips down, and a hermaphrodite from the hips up". His various forms of otherness - Southernness, homosexuality, childishness - together with prodigious ability and drive ("there was only one thing he knew he was going to be," says old friend Phoebe Pierce Vreeland, "and that was a writer") placed him at the vanguard of the great flowering of American culture in the Fifties and Sixties. "People were fascinated by the arts, but particularly by literature," says Vreeland. "Truman was right in the middle of it." He proved himself adept at many genres, from the Southern Gothic of his debut, Other Voices, Other Rooms, to a book of travel sketches, Local Color. But it was the invention of the "non-fiction novel" that was to ensure him his place in history.
The chapters of Plimpton's book devoted to the events surrounding In Cold Blood are the most compelling, particularly in charting Capote's relationship with the young murderers of the Clutter family, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. While the book's juiciest titbit - a claim by a Kansas Bureau of Investigation member that Capote and Smith became lovers in the latter's prison cell - is specious at best, there's no doubt that he'd formed a deep attachment to Smith in particular, yet needed their executions to give the book "closure". Its enormous success, according to writer John Knowles, marked the point where Capote "lost a grip on himself. He started to unravel."
Increasingly, Capote neglected his writing, transferring his energies to penetrating society's upper echelons. The Black And White Ball gave him an entree just about anywhere, and he exploited it enthusiastically, sailing on the Paleys' yacht, staying on Gloria Guinness's estate, lunching with Slim Keith and C Z Guest. The adoration of the "swans" transcended fag-haggery; Capote blended the true outsider's intense fascination for glamour and his seductive charisma into something truly potent. "He was a catalyst," says old friend John Barry Ryan. "He made their lives entertaining."
However, Capote harboured a dangerous ambivalence toward this world, which burst forth in the excerpts from Answered Prayers. He wanted the novel to be Proustian in its sweep, but its transparent maliciousness - "cafe society gossip of the worst kind, but brilliantly done; shit served up on a golden shovel", in the words of art historian John Richardson - served only to destroy the network of relationships he'd painstakingly built. Paley, Guinness, Keith and the rest never spoke to him again. Capote skipped middle age; his prolonged youth seemed to turn overnight into an extended twilight of drink and narcotics, and the last third of Plimpton's book makes grim reading. However, its babel of contradictory voices does justice to a complex and multi-faceted man, while avoiding the desiccated academic thickets in which more conventional biographies flail around. What one takes away from this book are great stories: Carson McCullers forming a Hate Capote Club, and trying to induce Tennessee Williams to join; Peggy Lee recounting a past life as a prostitute in Jesus's time ("I'll never forget picking up the Jerusalem Times and seeing the headline Jesus Christ Crucified"). And that, in the end, may be a more fulsome tribute to Capote, one of the century's greatest storytellers, than the strictest fidelity to the facts.

Brand awareness is a marketing concept that measures consumers' knowledge of a brand's existence. Online brand awareness can be influenced by many online mediums including:
- Online reviews (CNET, Techcrunch, etc.)
- Display advertisements
- Paid ads
- Organic search engine visibility (Google, Yahoo, Bing)
- The social sphere (Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, etc.)
Relevant external links from sites outside your domain are one of the most important factors in determining your relevancy in natural search engine results. This, coupled with a good on-page strategy, will lead your site to become more highly visible (potentially first page in the search engines).
How to Build Brand Awareness by Building Links
It just takes persistence and a little creativity. The results will come.
Here are some good general strategies for using your existing internal assets (social fans and PR outreach) to build links and brand awareness.
Research and determine your online audience and how you can engage with them through social portals. This can easily lead to your brand getting new inbound links, while engaging with your audience.
Engage With Your Existing Audience
Create surveys, quizzes, and contests that make your fan bases engage with your brand and link back to your site. You can build decent SEO visibility by simply creating a message and distributing it to your audience, then let them discuss and respond to it.
What is the value for this type of strategy? Google and Bing have confirmed they look for social signals in their organic algorithms to determine the relevancy of a web page. In turn, this means for you to increase your online visibility for your brand, you must engage in this type of social outreach.
Find Your Most Influential Fans and Leverage
Research and reach out to potential power users that are fans of your company on your Facebook fan page, company Twitter account, or other social assets.
Work with your web and content teams to create engaging interactive pieces (Flash oriented), infographics, or objective informational pieces. These pieces should be non-brand specific, but can relate directly to statistics or information related to the vertical you're in.
Reach Out to Your Power Social Users and Brand Loyalists
Ask them if they would be interested in sharing the piece with their friends/followers. Now your piece has the potential to gain brand awareness and social influence through social portals like Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, and bloggers. This in turn will bring in fresh links to your site with a minimal risk.
Also, there is potential for new traffic and users to become fans of your brand.
It's definitely worth the time you spend on this kind of social outreach strategy. Campaigns with great content pieces and backed by powerful social influencers can do extremely well in getting you both increased brand awareness and increased link equity to your site.
This social infographic that Intuit (tax software company) created demonstrates this kind of success. A quick backlink check reveals that more than 124 links are pointing to this post.
Also, the piece received many votes from social influencers on Digg, StumbleUpon, and Twitter. All these sites are major social influencers online.
PR Outreach to Build Awareness and Links
As the famous author George Bernard Shaw once said, "The greatest problem in communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished."
This leads into my next topic of discussion, knowing thy PR team. Work to build a good relationship with your PR team or client's team.
Communication with this team can be key to easy brand and SEO successes. Inquire about upcoming product releases, partner projects, or announcements. Look for opportunities where an upcoming product launch, press release, partner project, or a general company announcement can be leveraged to help the SEO strategy.
Also, make sure to educate your PR team on the importance of SEO teams and PR regularly collaborating with one another. Also, provide best practices for optimizing press releases and partner releases that correlate and are relevant to the SEO strategy.
When the release is published on partner sites, syndicated news sites, and blog sites, you could see a potential new influx of links. This can lead to easy wins for both teams.
Talk to PR about reaching out to partners that are sponsoring or part of a product page you have optimized and then have them link back to it. Utilizing existing resources can be a huge and easy way to show SEO value and successes. Aside from this, by educating and working with other teams such as PR, you now have created more allies for your cause.
One Example of How This Helps Your Brand Awareness and SEO
Take, for example, this Toyota press release, for a Sienna head lamp recall. Toyota received more than 10,000 links.
However, the piece doesn't have any anchor text links in the content of the piece to help support the SEO strategy. This would have been a great opportunity in this piece to link out to another internal Toyota page to help support other product lines or pages on the organic front.
Leveraging your PR teams and building good social strategies are a great ways for you to leverage brand to help you achieve your companies SEO goals.
By developing this form of brand awareness and link building you will be able to improve your company's SEO visibility. You'll also be able to consistently engage with your fans and grow your brand users and loyalists.

Search::Tools::Snipper - extract terms in context
use Search::Tools;
my $query = qw/ quick dog /;
my $text = 'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog';
my $s = Search::Tools->snipper(
occur => 3,
context => 8,
word_len => 5,
max_chars => 300,
query => $query
print $s->snip( $text );
Search::Tools::Snipper extracts terms and their context from a larger block of text. The larger block may be plain text or HTML/XML.
new( query => query )
Instantiate a new object. query must be either a scalar string or a Search::Tools::Query object
Many of the following methods are also available as key/value pairs to new().
Called internally by new().
as_sentences Experimental feature
Attempt to extract a snippet that starts at a sentence boundary.
The number of snippets that should be returned by snip().
Available via new().
The number of context words to include in the snippet.
Available via new().
The maximum number of characters (not bytes! under Perl >= 5.8) to return in a snippet. NOTE: This is only used to test whether test is worth snipping at all, or if no terms are found.
See also show() and ignore_length().
Available via new().
The estimated average word length used in combination with context(). You can usually ignore this value.
Available via new().
Boolean flag indicating whether snip() should succeed no matter what, or if it should give up if no snippets were found. Default is 1 (true).
If no matches are found, the first max_chars of the snippet are returned.
Available via new().
Boolean flag indicating whether snip() should escape any HTML/XML markup in the resulting snippet or not. Default is 0 (false).
Available via new().
Boolean flag indicating whether snip() should attempt to remove any HTML/XML markup in the original text before snipping is applied. Default is 0 (false).
Available via new().
The CODE ref used by the snip() method for actually extracting snippets. You can use your own snipper function if you want (though if you have a better snipper algorithm than the ones in this module, why not share it?). If you go this route, have a look at the source code for snip() to see how snipper() is used.
Available via new().
There are different algorithms used internally for snipping text. They are, in order of speed:
- dumb
Just grabs the first max_chars characters and returns it, doing a little clean up to prevent partial words from ending the snippet and (optionally) escaping the text.
- loop
Fastest for single-word queries.
- token
Most accurate, for both single-word and phrase queries, although it relies on a HeatMap in order to locate phrases.
See also the use_pp feature.
- offset (default)
Same as
but optimized slightly to look at a substr of text. - re
The regular expression algorithm. Will match phrases exactly.
The name of the internal snipper function used. In case you're curious.
Boolean flag indicating whether the snipper() value should always be used, regardless of the type of query keyword. Default is 0 (false).
Available via new().
The number of snips made by the Snipper object.
Boolean flag indicating whether multiple whitespace characters should be collapsed into a single space. A whitespace character is defined as anything that Perl's \s
pattern matches, plus the nobreak space (\xa0
). Default is 1 (true).
Available via new().
use_pp( n )
Set to a true value to use Tokenizer->tokenize_pp() and TokenListPP and TokenPP instead of the XS versions of the same. XS is the default and is much faster, but harder to modify or subclass.
Available via new().
Boolean flag. If set to false (default) then max_chars
is respected. If set to true, max_chars
is ignored.
Available via new().
Boolean flag. If set to true (default), individual terms within a phrase are considered a match. If false, only match if individual terms have a proximity distance of 1.
snip( text )
Return a snippet of text from text that matches query plus context() words of context. Matches are case insensitive.
The snippet returned will be in UTF-8 encoding, regardless of the encoding of text.

As Street Fighter X Tekken is nearing its early March release, controller company Mad Catz is continuing its contribution to fighting games with their own new set of controllers released alongside the game.
Renowned in the fighting game community for their Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition series, Mad Catz was at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas showing off their new line of products for Street Fighter X Tekken.
While initially having a limited run of their FightStick Pro models back in late 2011, they have returned with a new black look (replacing the bright red motif) and new artwork. A new arcade stick, different from the Tournament Edition sticks and the FightStick Pros, are the Versus Series (also known as the V.S.). The Versus Series uses Sanwa Denshi arcade buttons and joysticks much like their other sticks, but what makes it unique is the ability to physically link two of them through the use of a connector kit. Their FightPad series also makes a return with some minor touches including button layout modifications, a "15% smaller chassis than previous FightPad designs" and that the PlayStation 3 version is now wired.
Currently these sticks are now available on pre-order through GameShark. While not provided with an official release date, it will likely be available as Street Fighter X Tekken closes in on Mar. 6, 2012.

Groundhogs throughout Canada are split in their spring predictions, with some shadows suggesting six more weeks of winter while others have forecasted an early spring.
Canada's most celebrated groundhog, Wiarton Willie, is predicting an early end to this year's erratic winter weather after the creature failed to see its shadow Saturday morning.
Hundreds bundled up to watch Willie emerge from its burrow in Bruce Country, Ont.
"No cloud, no confusing sunshine ray shall fool this icon of Canada," said one event participant, dressed in a historic costume. "The tension is high. Will this spring be swimsuits or snowbirds?"
According to folklore, if a groundhog sees its shadow on Groundhog Day, it will scurry back to its burrow, signalling six more weeks of winter. If there's no shadow, it means spring is just around the corner.
Manitoba's lesser known groundhog, Winnipeg Willow, seemed to agree with Willie. The critter also failed to see her shadow when she emerged Saturday morning, meaning she believes spring is right around the corner.
But not all were on board with spring's early arrival.
On the East Coast, those hoping some warmer weather ahead were disappointed after Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam, the first to make the yearly prediction worldwide via webcam, saw its shadow, signalling plenty of more winter weather ahead.
The same went for Quebec's groundhog, Fred, who forecasted another month-and-a-half of winter weather.
In Pennsylvania, U.S. forecasting legend Punxsutawney Phil sided with Willie in predicting warmer temperatures are near, after failing to see his shadow.

There's sooo much I like about "Tropico 3," but ewww, it just misses being a really good game.
It's a strategy simulator that looks like a board game, where your job is to create an island nation almost from scratch.
You begin by choosing which dictator you want to portray. You can play as Castro, Che Guevara, Eva Peron or other historical figures.
Instead, I choose to play as a dictator named Voodoo Pizzaman, because his traits are a garden variety from Wall Street: "financial genius, well-traveled womanizer, religious zealot."
The setting is 1950. You have just taken over a barely populated island that's lacking infrastructure, industry, tourism, police stations and everything else that makes islands fun or civilized.
For the next 20 years (four or five hours in real time), you must erect buildings, lay down roads and decide what salaries to pay every type of laborer (factory workers, teachers, even waiters).
So, do you want to use your tiny national economy to build farms, so you can feed your citizens and export coffee?
Or would you rather build army bases and pubs?
Eventually, you're going to have to build all of that and much more, such as churches, schools and statues, to keep islanders happy.
But the challenge is obvious: You don't have enough money to build everything at once. If you don't build in the right order, your nation will sink in debt and you will get overthrown.
The best thing about "Tropico 3": It's a great political-science experiment. You can legalize gay marriage, ban birth control, enact Prohibition, or wiretap phones, and then wait to see if citizens revolt.
The answer: They will not revolt if your nation is healthy, wealthy and wise. So build up clinics, cash and colleges, and no one will care what you do.
It's pretty fun, making choices about what to farm (corn, bananas, etc.); what to erect (beach motels for tourists, or beach docks for exporting); and so on.
The game's problem is recurring: Your citizens are boring whiners and cheapskates. You erect apartment complexes and pay citizens big money, yet they still erect rent-free shanties behind your back.
You're constantly searching for their idiotic shanties to tear down so citizens will rent your stupid apartments. That gets very dull after a while.
And even though you can zoom the camera in on citizens, they're dreary. They just walk around or work on cars. You'd have to be the most patient voyeur in the world to find that compelling.
Plus, your island is always running low on money, because it's a crummy island.
My advice if you try "Tropico 3" is to Google-search for "cheat" codes so you can steal millions of dollars and run the island right. Yeah, that's cheating, but you're a politician.
("Tropico 3" by Take 2 retails for $40 for Xbox 360 and PC -- Plays mostly fun, except when boringly repetitive. Looks good. Very challenging. Rated "T" for alcohol and tobacco references, mild suggestive themes and violence. Three stars out of four.)

text: Has National Geographic lost its mind?Robbie Gonzalez1/26/14 3:00pmFiled to: holy crap wtfplease god nonational geographicgemstonescience13716EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The February 2014 issue of National Geographic Kids promises to inform its adolescent readers "what their birthstone says about them." Advertisement Here's the cover in its full, uncropped, unabashedly doltish glory: And here we thought no publication could possibly top New York Times Magazine for the dumbest, most scientifically inaccurate cover of the week. The cover first came to our attention when we saw it posted on the Skepchick Facebook page. Baffled by the notion that NatGeo would stoop so low as to run a piece based on bullshit mysticism as its cover story, we decided to look into it. Open the magazine to the article in question and you get an almost word-for-word rehash of the cover: "Gems that Rock: What Your Birthstone Says About You." Here's the difference: right below the headline you'll find a little blue circle that looks like it was added after the fact. Printed inside are five lines of white text that read: "If these descriptions don't match you, that's OK. These are just for fun": Ohhhhh. This is just for fun! Now they tell us! Perhaps National Geographic Kids should consider changing its tagline from "Dare to Explore" to "Dare to bait kids with lies. Just for fun. (And profit.)" Advertisement Advertisement The article goes on to list each month of the year and its corresponding gemstone. Included in each entry is a brief description of what each gemstone represents, along with "old school myths" and "rock-solid facts" associated with each stone. Pictured below is the writeup for January (click to enlarge): Disappointingly, what each gemstone represents is not given as a one or two word description, but rather is described in terms that directly implicate the reader. "Being two-faced or half-hearted isn't your thing," reads the description for February's amethyst, which represents sincerity. "What you say to your friends and family is genuine and honest.") I say "disappointing" because the description of what the reader's birthstone says about her personality or character is still listed separately from the "old-school myths" section for each stone. Presumably these descriptions fall under the "just for fun" proviso laid out at the beginning of the article. The magazine does a crummy, half-assed job of distinguishing between fact and fiction – and waits until the kid reading the magazine arrives at the article to do so. Sponsored Before somebody gets on my case for overreacting, let me be clear: I absolutely believe that any kid old enough to read National Geographic Kids is probably also intelligent enough to discern the "old school myths" from the "rock solid facts" that the magazine – to its genuine credit – makes a note of distinguishing between. I'm not particularly concerned with any kids being genuinely duped, here. Misled, certainly, but not duped.What concerns me is the editorial decision by the National Geographic Society – one of the largest, most well-respected non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world – to give bullshit pseudoscience* a foothold by granting it a full-page spread, front and center, on the cover of one of its publications, only to do a half-assed job of clarifying things within the article itself. And in a publication directed towards kids, no less. This is the kind of slip-up you might find buried in a 75-word blurb toward the back of a magazine. But the cover article? Get it together, NatGeo. You can do better. *Can you even call the idea of divination-by-geology pseudoscience? How the hell would you even classify that?Reply137 repliesLeave a reply

Thu May 29 2003 08:07 Wolphin Of Shame:
From Brendan:
I saw this but originally thought a false killer whale was some weird type of whale I'd never heard of. But of course it's not any kind of whale at all. Now I'm on a dolphin witch hunt! Belugas, narwhals, pilot whales--they all look like dolphins! I have in my hand a list of 200 dolphins working for the State Department!
Seems pretty unlikely that someone would make a hoax about a dolphin interbreeding with another dolphin. I find it believable, given the liger (which I know exists).
The father of Kekaimalu, the wholphin, is NOT a killer whale (orcinus
orca), he's a FALSE killer whale (pseudorca crassidens)! That doesn't
actually make a difference, since they're both dolphins, but I thought
I'd chip in.
I thought the whole thing was a hoax at first anyway--
that top picture looks suspiciously like the back dolphin image with
the false killer whale's skin photoshopped on.

The researchers examined the association between oily fish, which are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, and the risk of strokes or mini-strokes. They looked at 38 studies involving 794,000 people across 15 countries, and examined participants' fish and long-chain omega-3 fatty acid consumption. During the studies, a total of 34,817 strokes and mini strokes were recorded.
After adjusting for several risk factors, participants eating two to four servings a week had a 6% lower risk of stroke compared with those who consumed one portion or less every week, the study found. Fish oil supplements were not significantly associated with a similar reduced risk.

TPM Cafe: Opinion
Sterling's Sexism Has Also Gotten A Pass In The NBA
"Bobby" is the perfect caricature of a horrible boss and a terrible person, and while he is fun to laugh at in a movie, he unfortunately exists in real life. His vitriolic and abusive behavior toward his workers, along with his deeply discriminatory views, has grave consequences for those who work for him.
In these respects, Bobby reminds me of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Specifically, he reminds me of Sterling's lack of regard for the people who labor for him so that he can build his sizable wealth.
News broke late last week of a racist rant by Sterling, who said on a recording that he does not want African Americans attending Clippers basketball games. (Most Clippers team members are African American, as are 76 percent of all National Basketball Association (NBA) players.) And this story about Sterling has led to deeper revelations about the powerful figure who has long harbored not only troubling racist views toward his workers, but sexist views as well. As writer Filip Bondy pointed out in the New York Daily News on Sunday, while the NBA is now prepared to address Sterling's behavior following this revelation of racism, professional basketball has long tolerated Sterling's documented poor treatment of women.
Writers Peter Keating, Amanda Younger, and Alyssa Roenick detailed Sterling's history of sexually harassing the women who work for him in an article for ESPN earlier this week. One woman who worked as a hostess and set up "cattle calls" to recruit other women, said, "Working for Donald Sterling was the most demoralizing, dehumanizing experience of my life….He asked me for seminude photos and made it clear he wanted more. He is smart and clever but manipulative….When I didn't give him what he wanted, he looked at me with distaste. His smile was so empty."
Sterling is also an owner of rental properties. In the early 2000s, one of Sterling's top property supervisors, Sumner Davenport, claimed Sterling sexually harassed her.
ESPN also noted, "When it comes to female subordinates (emphasis added) in his real estate business, Sterling shows a distinct racial preference. In 2003 he had 74 white employees, four Latinos, zero blacks and 30 Asians, 26 of them women, according to his Equal Employment Opportunity filings with the state of California. (The numbers are similar for the other years in which Sterling has been charged with racial discrimination.)"
In 2006, a woman who worked for Sterling, Christine Jaksy, sued Sterling for sexual harassment; their matter was settled. According to Keating at ESPN, "Testimony Jaksy gave under oath [revealed that] Sterling touched her in ways that made her uncomfortable and asked her to visit friends of his for sex. Sterling also repeatedly ordered her to find massage therapists to service him sexually, telling her, "I want someone who will, you know, let me put it in or who [will] suck on it."
Bondy notes that "[T]he NBA, like all the other sports leagues and the male-dominated sports media, doesn't care nearly enough about the way men treat women…How, exactly, is any woman employee of the Clippers supposed to work for a man like this? (emphasis added)." Sterling, though now a public example, is not alone: poor treatment of women exists across businesses in which men sign the checks and women are economically vulnerable. In 2011, there were nearly 10,000 complaints of sexual harassment made by women to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Feminist economists have long noted the ways in which the power dynamics of male-dominated spheres like the NBA can allow exploitation of women. Economist and MacArthur Genius Grant winner Heidi Hartmann has noted the different experiences of women and men in capitalism; specifically, "the vested interest men had in women's subordination. Sexism is not simply a leftover from pre-capitalist times, it has survived and thrived as a part of capitalism."
Sexism is often given a pass in capitalism -- a lesson Sterling's story makes clear.
