Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
The second of four versions of Zane Grey's story of a dispirited ranch hand who joins a gang of outlaws, this silent western benefitted by the presence of veteran Vitagraph star Antonio Moreno. Moreno plays Jim Cleve, who heads West after being jilted by his girlfriend. He works for a while as a ranch hand but is fired. In anger, he joins a gang of cattle rustlers but repents when gang leader Gibson Gowland kidnaps the lovely Helene Chadwick. The story was filmed the first time in 1918 starring Eugene Strong and would be remade in 1930 starring Richard Arlen and in 1940 starring (of all people) Roy Rogers.

text: After a long time, IBM announced a major release for WebSphere Portal. The new release, version 6.0, has improved in following departments - 1. Workflow (introduced a new workflow builder) 2. Content Management (unveiled IBM Workplace Web Content Management Version 6.0) 3. Electronic Forms (incorporated IBM Workplace Forms), and 4. Alignment with Bowstreet Portlet Factory (Now WebSphere Portlet Factory) I have yet to check the new release, but seeing the press release not many new features sound interesting. I hope that they would have fixed lots of problems with IWWCM and made it a usable product now. Also I hope that they didn't integrate atrocious Portlet Factory tightly with WebSphere Portal. I would love to see what all other changes are there. For example I would love to see and better AJAX based look and feel. Check announcement here.

Tehran police used batons, tear gas, and live rounds in clashes with student protesters Monday, according to unconfirmed witness reports cited by BBC News. (State-controlled media acknowledged the confrontations, but details are tough to verify because of Iran's ban on foreign media.) Opposition supporters wore green scarves and chanted "Death to the Dictator," to which security forces responded with arrests and beatings and tried to prevent students from leaving their campuses, according to a reformist student Web site. The protests took place on the anniversary of the killing of three students in 1953; Iranian security forces had said they would block any attempts by the opposition movement to use the day for demonstrations.

FROM THE DESK OF DR. HILDY – FOLIC ACID and Generations to Come

FOLIC ACID and Generations to Come
Recently an article by Ms. Mae Chan entitled, "Folic Acid Deficiencies May Impact Up to Five Generations Later" was recently published in Cell.com © (October 6, 2013). The entire article is stated below my article. The aspect of the impact of epigenetic risk markers for a deficiency of folic acid is very true, but remember if you eat the proper foods rich in folic acid, reduce body exposure to hazardous materials, heavy metals and other toxicants and keep up a good abundance of glutathione rich foods and natural sources, the body will become over-joyed with its ability to protect and nourish your temple – the HUMAN BODY.
Folic acid has been recognized as one of the B vitamins necessary for good nutrition. Its chemical formula is C19H19N706 and it is slightly soluble in water and easily oxidized in acid and sunlight. It helps in the growth of a healthy blood system and aids the intestinal tract to stay healthy. It has been indicated that up to three milligrams daily would be an adequate amount. The bacteria in the intestines will ordinarily work to combine or synthesize various elements together to form folic acid. When one is exposed to pesticides, heavy metals, mold and their mycotoxins and may other toxic substances this natural process will become interrupted and the loss of natural gut flora will follow. As more natural gut flora is lost the more symptoms of ill health one will have over time, which will lead to chronic disease patterns.
A deficiency of this B vitamin may have serious results for the expectant mother. The condition of a congenital fissure or split in the roof of the mouth, known as cleft palate may be the result of a deficiency in folic acid substances. This is also found in spina bifida and children born with no eyes as found in the early cases of exposure to a pesticide known a benomyl in the late 1980's and early 1990's in the USA. The pesticide inhibited AMOG enzyme as a result of reduced folic acid and vitamin B12 levels with acetyl cholinesterase activities. Also, although it is not certain, this deficiency may contribute to other conditions of the newborn child such as horseshoe kidneys (union of the kidneys at the lower ends) a, hydrocephalus (fluid within the cranium), harelip, and heart and brain defects.
Anemia is one of the conditions that may result from a deficiency in folic acid. Individuals taking such drugs as aminopterin, streptomycin and the sulfa drugs or exposed to carbamate pesticides (Example: benomyl or methomyl) must be warned that these drugs destroy folic acid.
The condition known as sprue, where there is a sore mouth, ingestion and diarrhea, may also result from the lack of folic acid. There may also be the result of a shortage of the large red blood corpuscles, the condition known as megaloblastic anemia.
M. Ebbing, et. al., "Cancer incidence and mortality after treatment with folic acid and vitamin B12" (2009) in the Journal of American Medical Association evaluated the effects of treatment with B vitamins on cancer outcomes and all-caused mortality in 2 randomized controlled trials. During the study treatment, median serum folate concentration increased more than 6-fold among participants given folic acid. The results were mainly driven by an increased lung cancer incidence in participants who received folic acid plus vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-6 treatment was not associated with any significant effects. Ebbing, et.al.'s conclusion in this study was that treatment with folic acid (plus vitamin B-12) was associated with an increased cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease where there is no folic acid fortification of foods in Norway.
It is very important to note that the Edding, et.al. study at the Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norawy did not address the interaction of the enzyme B-transferase, which is needed for the metabolism of the B vitamins. Lack of enzyme B-transferase will cause reduction of B vitamin absorption and reduced oxygen levels that may give additional rise to superoxides. And, the study did not identify if the participants in their study did not have the mutated gene of folate/folic acid absorption, which does not allow the vitamin to be metabolized quickly, but slower, thus causing an accumulation within the blood as illustrated in their study. Lack of Vitamin B-6 does cause arteriolsclerosis in humans and other mammals.
It is found abundantly in spinach, watercress and the greens of mustard, beet turnips, parsley, carrots, broccoli and generally in almost all green leaves of vegetables and herbs. It is also found in mushrooms, soybeans and wheat germ. For non-vegetarians it is also found in liver and milk.

What You Should Know About Folic Acid – YouTube
www.cell.com Article published October 6, 2013 by MAE CHAN
Folic Acid Deficiencies May Impact Up To Five Generations Later
Folic acid has been found to boost male fertility, vascular function and even prevent cancer. Writing in Cell, a research team revealed that epigenetic risk markers for disease caused by folic acid deficiency can be passed on up to five generations and could have an impact on developmental risk factors and later risk of disease.
"Although our research focused on genetic mutations which disrupts the break down and metabolism of folic acid, we believe that folic acid deficiency in the diet would have a similar multi-generational impact on health," explained Dr Erica Watson from the University of Cambridge, who led the study.
The researchers found that when either the maternal grandmother or the maternal grandfather had a specific genetic mutation (known as Mtrr mutation) that caused a folic acid deficiency, their genetically normal grandchildren who did not have the genetic mutation and did not suffer from folic acid deficiency were still at risk of a spectrum of developmental abnormalities.
"It surprised us to find that the great, great grandchildren of a parent who has had a folic acid deficiency could have health problems as a result – suggesting that the 'sins of your maternal grandparents' can have an effect on your development and your risk for disease," said Watson.
"More importantly, our research shows that disease in general can be inherited through epigenetic means rather than genetic means, which has huge implications for human health. Environmental factors that influence epigenetic patterns — e.g., diet, epigenetic disruptors in the environment such as chemicals, etc. – may also have long term, multigenerational effects," she said.
Folic Acid Fortification
The detrimental effects of folic acid deficiency on development are quite well known, and can include developmental problems such as spina bifida, heart defects and placental abnormalities. However, until now, very little was known about how folic acid deficiency caused the diverse range of health problems in offspring.
As a result, many countries have implemented folate fortification programmes which require folic acid to be added to cereal products.
"Fortification programmes may have reduced the risk of health effects but not eliminated them completely," said Watson. "Based on our research, we now believe that it may take more than one generation to eliminate the health problems caused by folate deficiency." Folate is a very important B vitamin, and low levels may be involved in certain carcinogenic processes. If more people could supplement their folate intake from fruits and legumes, rather than from a folic acid supplement it could condition the population to regulate from a natural source as synthetic fortification is far inferior to natural sources of folate. These foods have other cancer-fighting properties and can help protect against other chronic diseases. Inherited Epigenetics
Through another experiment which involved transferring the embryo from the third generation into a normal healthy female mouse, the team discovered that the developmental abnormalities seen in later generation were not passed down genetically.
Instead, the serious defects were the result of epigenetic changes which had been inherited, said the authors.
Epigenetic inheritance refers to the passing of these epigenetic marks from one generation to the next – despite the epigenome, for the most part, being 'wiped clean' after each generation, explained Watson.
The team suggested that, for a yet unknown reason, some of these abnormal epigenetic marks caused by the Mtrr mutation, or indeed dietary folic acid deficiency, may escape this normal eradication and are inherited by the next generation.
If these abnormal epigenetic markers that regulate genes important for development are inherited, then subsequent generations may develop abnormalities as a result of the wrong genes being turned on or off, they said.

In this Episode of the Football Planet: Wydad Casablanca are sitting top of African club football, with their second CAF Champions league title. What happened?
Again a truce has to be called in the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers. There are only three slots remaining and to look for them, eight teams still have their chances, but not all of them have their destiny in their hands. This leaves room for a heated last day next weekend. We have details on that.
And after Mali who finished fourth in the FIFA U-17 World Cup, we spoke with coach Jonas Komla, and he had a lot to share.
The Black Devils of Brazzaville are no more than the shadow of the giant they were a few years ago. Saved just after relegation after a particularly difficult season, the club is trying to get up and it is with this in mind that a new leadership board was elected Saturday. General Jean François NDENGUET is a rather ambitious president as he confided in our correspondent Hervé Kiminoumissou.
And finally some news on Benjamin Moukandjo. The captain of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon disappeared from the radar since his exile to China, but this weekend he re-emerged into the picture with a saving goal for his team Jiangsu Suning which ensures its accuracy as you can see in these images.
Sit tight, watch and catch us again for another episode next Monday.Follow @Muisyo_

Someone in the chatroom was asking, hi guys what is the most exiting news on extraterrestrials? Have we covered that already or? Hi Barry. You know I think the most exiting news about extraterrestrials is there are a lot of places they could live. You know just 20 years ago, I mentioned Bernard's Star, which. Back when SETI began, in the early 60s, there was speculation that you know there might be a planet here. There was some evidence that was wobbly of the planet. It turns out that wasn't the case. But it's only been in the last 20 years that we have been able to detect planets around other stars. So I think that is the huge discovery.
There's a lot of real estate out there that is potentially inhabitable. And now we're realizing that Earth like planets are all over the place as well, at least super Earth. The other exciting thing is over the last 20, 30 years we've come to better understand the extremes that life can live here on Earth. You know, I'm talking extremes of life. Like, the frozen tundra of the Arctic, the hydrothermal events, acid hot springs, the core of nuclear reactors. So, once life takes hold, it can survive. And so it's looking all and all, the more likely, that our notion of what's a habitable world, may need to be expanded to take into account, the variety of environments that extraterrestrial life could proliferate in.
So it seems like everything that we're learning in the past decades, is more and more support, that there could be alien life out there. Some people think its already been here, I haven't seen it. So I need to see the evidence. You're a psychologist, right? Yeah. And so I wonder what, given the work you're doing, what do you think, what's your relationship with human imagination? Because when you're dealing, it seems like. When you're dealing the, you know study, the imagination takes you in all these kind of like fantastic places like Star Trek to conspiracy theories about Area 51. And It seems like the imagination takes you in so many place that can distract from the reality of the actual science, but at the same time And that imagination can people interested on the work that you do.
Is there like a? Yeah, I think so. You're right, imagination is great for engaging people. There's something imaginative about the prospects of there being intelligence out there. But if you look at the nature of how science happens, that imagination plays an important at the earliest stages as well. Right. So that. Imagination doesn't prove anything, but imagination is great at generating ideas. When Kepler was trying to understand the motions of the planets, he had this idea about the planets are moving within these perfect geometrical solid Proportions. It turned out it was wrong but it was really helpful to start thinking about things. So I think what you need to always keep in mind is imagination is great for generating hypotheses and then you gotta test those hypotheses and that's where some concrete data comes in.

The Lightning Network was conceived with the idea of solving the scalability issues associated with Bitcoin transactions. The fundamental idea behind the Lightning Network is to make small and everyday transactions don't have to be stored on the blockchain. This is also called the 'off-chain approach.'
In a scenario where someone wants to pay for a sandwich with Bitcoin, creating a transaction on the blockchain for buying a sandwich could turn out to be more expensive for the buyer since he or she might have to pay extra on transaction fees. With the lightning network, the customer can set up a payments channel with the Lightning Network. Both the customer and the vendor deposit a certain amount of Bitcoin in a multi-signature address. This multi-signature address acts like a safe that only be opened when both the parties agree.
When opening a payments channel, a balance sheet is also made, which says how the funds in the address should be distributed. Opening the payment channel happens on the main blockchain so that there is full transparency.
In the Lightning Network, when we create a payment channel, is it secure like the blockchain? Do channels have the same security and authentication operations like the blockchain?
Yes, it's really important to understand that a transaction on Lightning, if you have a bitcoin channel, is still a bitcoin transaction. Imagine if I created a transaction, signed it, and gave it to you, instead of broadcasting to the Bitcoin network. You could broadcast that whenever you wanted to, or just hold on to it. Anytime you broadcast that signed transaction, you will get the outcome of that transaction. We have exchanged a signed transaction, we just haven't broadcasted it yet. That is how Lightning works.
Lightning payment channels are parties exchanging signed bitcoin transactions. It has the same underlying security guarantee, authentication and authorization qualities as the Bitcoin blockchain. In fact, that is why Lightning works. It requires the security of the underlying Bitcoin blockchain.
Lightning is routing smart contracts, pre-signed bitcoin transactions, which need to be secure and valid on the underlying blockchain.
Why do you Lightning Network participants need to be online to execute transactions?
Well, it is not entirely true that Lightning Network participants need to be online to execute transactions. They need to be online to start a transaction, to create an invoice, to be paid, and under some circumstances to monitor the channels. But they can also outsource the monitoring of their channels to third parties.
Keep in mind, the Lightning Network is intended to be a live, small payment, fast network.
It is not intended to be a batched, big transaction, long-term payments network. That kind of activity is best-done on-chain.
In a Lightning channel, what happens in a three-person scenario, if the third person does not send the reimbursement?
In any Lightning Network scenario, if one of the parties fails to finish the commitment to a channel, does not update their state, or does not close the channel when asked, then the other party can close the channel by transmitting one of the prior states. The only way that balance can be pushed forward through the channel, is if the parties share a hash pre-image, which is the secret for unlocking hash time-locked commitments.
In that case, the party who sent that balance can also receive the same balance from the previous channel endpoint with the same secret. You don't have to trust that any parties participating in Lightning are going to behave as expected. The whole point of this is doing transactions with people not expected to behave in any particular way.
They may disappear, stop responding to channel requests, refuse to close a channel, or refuse to forward a hash time-locked contract. They may do whatever they want to do. It doesn't matter. You don't need to trust them. At every step, you have a signed bitcoin transaction that is valid and allows you to recover your funds.
This network itself does not require trust between participants.
How will the Lightning Network handle distributed denial-of-service attacks?
That really depends on what kind of distributed denial-of-service attack we're talking about.
In order to create a Lightning Network payment channel, you must commit funds. That makes it difficult for someone to simply create payment channels and not use them. Secondly, in order to propagate payments across payment channels, there is usually a small fee.
We will see how that plays out and whether it will lead to distributed denial-of-service attacks. Also, Lightning Network nodes, just like Bitcoin nodes, monitor the type of information they are receiving from adjacent nodes, from their peers.
If they see the information they are receiving is incorrect or invalid, they will limit connections or potentially even ban the nodes which are misbehaving. All peer-to-peer networks must have some mechanism for protecting against misbehaving peers.
The most common way to do that is to either throttle or ban (for a short or long period of time). The Lightning Network will handle distributed denial-of-service attacks in the same way that every peer-to-peer network handles them: an ongoing process. As each type of attack is handled, attackers come up with new ways to attack the network. That forces the network to adapt, which forces the attackers to adapt, and the network adapts again.
Gradually, you evolve the system to become more and more resilient to denial-of-service attacks. Bitcoin itself is under denial-of-service attack all the time; it evolved to be quite strong and resilient against attacks, which doesn't mean they're impossible but they're not very effective anymore.
They cost a lot of money to execute and don't do much. It is the same with TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, many other protocols and infrastructure on the internet. They have gradually evolved to handle bigger and bigger distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Who bans a node? How does banning work?
This is a peer-to-peer, decentralized network, which means your own Lightning Network node does. It connects to ten or fifteen other nodes, creating a mesh network. Your node decides what nodes to connect to, or whether it should ban one of its neighbors for misbehaving.
Who bans nodes? Everyone is able to ban nodes from their perspective.
If they start misbehaving, everyone who experienced that misbehavior will ban those nodes; and if they misbehave badly enough they will not be able to connect to the network at all. That's how it works in Bitcoin. That's how it works in the Lightning Network.
There is no centralized authority here. Each node decides whether to ban its neighbors or not.
This article is a transcription of Andreas Antonopoulos' explanation on the Lightning Network's Security Model.

A couple days ago, it was reported that forward Antoine Vermette was working his way through at least five offers from NHL teams. Today, it seems the 34-year-old has made his decision and has signed a two-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks.
Vermette was bought out by the Arizona Coyotes on August 1, with a year to go on his existing contract. According to Arizona general manager John Chayka, the decision to waive Vermette was part of a plan to clear space for young talent. With his skillset no longer required in the desert, the St. Agapit native moved on.
According to reports, the deal with the Ducks is worth $3.5 million. As expected, that's a bit of a slip in salary.
As we saw with our 2016-2017 season preview of the Ducks, there's definitely some room for Vermette down the middle. The club can shuffle the deck to create more versatility down the left side and can bank on their new acquisition's faceoff prowess, which is frankly among the very best in the league. He's currently second among NHLers with at least 13,000 faceoffs, working at a 55.8 percent efficacy.
In 910 career games with the Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Coyotes, and Chicago Blackhawks, Vermette has 471 points – including 211 goals. His best statistical season came with Columbus in 2010-2011, when he piled up 65 points.
In 2008-2009 in Ottawa, Vermette's faceoff capabilities reached the stratosphere with a 58.37 percent rating.
The Ducks may not be getting the best of Vermette, but there are still a few good years in him and he's a nice fit for the roster. He'll assist in playing a puck possession game and brings tremendous two-way capability, with a lot of determination to boot. If there's a problem in his game, it's in terms of consistency.
But Anaheim won't be looking to Vermette to score insomuch as they'll be looking for him to gain ground. And that's certainly something he can do.
"I'm 34, but I don't feel that old," Vermette said. "I feel really good and had a great summer. I'll keep pushing hard."

ADB approves $500M loan to boost Turkmenistan transmission network
Turkmenistan will receive a $500 million loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to improve the country's transmission network and reliability of power supply, as well as boost its potential to export electricity to neighbouring countries.
The loan will help fund the National Power Grid Strengthening Project which covers four of the five regions in Turkmenistan. The project will help establish an interconnected national transmission grid to improve reliability and energy efficiency, reports Compelo.
Within the project, the $500 million assistance will be used for the construction of 1,100 km of new 110 kV, 220 kV and 500 kV transmission lines across Turkmenistan and expansion of three existing substations.
The project will also finance the construction of new substations, including 500 kV substations in Balkan and Dashoguz, as well as 220 kV substations in Ahal, Balkan and Dashoguz.
The project should also improve the country's capacity to trade electricity with Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan, and increase the electricity exports to Afghanistan.

I feel a bit embarrassed to tell you this. You might think I'm some kind of obsessive. You might be right.
I made another Burda dress. Is that really bad? It's not like I didn't have other stuff to do to, like Life, but I made it anyway.
I had a mildly important do to go to and I decided the yellow dress wasn't quite right. So I thought I'd make a quickie dark blue version (calico dyed with a dylon dye) but I parked on a double yellow and rushed into the LFS to be told they were out of calico so I had to choose something quick in case a traffic warden strolled past. There was a shelf full of summer polycottons and the grey kind of waved at me, so I thought what the heck, and bought some. Rash I know. I can be a bit ditzy like that sometimes.
Here's what happened.
A variation happened. Sans ironing but we'll brush over that. Actually the colour looks best in the photo above, but the one below is a bit more styled (after all a grey wall with a grey dress is just a bit too grey, y'know?).
It's the same Burda pattern as the yellow one with a few minor alterations:
- I lengthened the skirt by 6" and took up a 2" hem (the yellow one has a 1" hem)
- I lined the skirt with pink polycotton (attaching it to the skirt before sewing on the bodice) to counteract some of the slightly see-through nature of the fabric
- I omitted the ties under the bust and replaced them with elastic (but only really because I don't have a buttonhole function on my Elna and I am totally useless at doing them freehand, and crappy black buttonholes look a lot more obvious than pale yellow ones!)
- I added an inch across the front and the back so that the dress fits me now and not in 6 weeks time
- I added the pocket to take away some of the severity/plain-ness of the finished dress
Did I wear the dress to the do? Of course not! How hopeless is that? But it was just too flippin' hot for spending the day outside in a creased dress with the lining sticking to my legs. I think this is more of an inside dress or an office dress, but I feel pretty confident that it won't languish at the back of the wardrobe and end up at Oxfam.
I would still like to make a version of this dress with a large check like the original (and I was also thinking a not-too-bright-red tartan might look pretty great), but until I find some suitable fabric that's it for this pattern. I have however found the links to the dresses I was talking about here, and have a secret plan for some further dress making, but I think for now, I'm going to concentrate on my Attic24 bag which has grown large enough to house a small family. I think another night on the crochet and it will be nearly complete, so watch this space.
And just on the Burda links, I think I have updated all my previous posts to reflect the changes on the Burda website(s) but if you find any that I missed out, do let me know. There's nothing more annoying than a link that doesn't work.

Baseball season is officially upon us. April 6, 2015, marked the opening day for Major League Baseball teams, including culture's local team, the Red Sox.
Baseball games have an incredible energy. The stadium is full of lively, raucous fans. Foam fingers are plentiful and shouting is acceptable. Not to mention the stadium smells like a delicious mix of all our favorite ballpark foods. I've had a hankering for a stadium hot dog for far too long, and I'm not sure I can wait till the next game to fulfill that craving. If you're impatient like me and nostalgic for the best ballpark eats, its time to take fate into your own hands.
Culture has a wide array of recipes that will fulfill your longing for bleacher-seat burgers, but also qualify as nothing short of homemade fine dining.
Warning: The below pictures are so dangerously appealing that you should not read unless you have food nearby to satiate the oncoming hunger.
Loaded Cheddar Hotdogs
These Loaded Cheddar Hotdogs from How Sweet It Is have everything you love about the ballpark classic plus everything you could ever want. Pile on melted cheddar cheese, garlic mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a hearty amount of bacon bits for a championship-worthy meal. The trick is making sure that you season all your toppings, especially the mushrooms and onions. By roasting and seasoning the vegetables, you bring our the savory, meaty traits hiding beneath the surface.
The Ultimate Fully Loaded Nachos
Normally the nachos served at a baseball stadium are pretty minimalist—most contain nothing more than some Velveeta dashed on top, and even that seems to do the trick. We're hoping to hit a grand slam here, though. These Fully Loaded Nachos from Serious Eats have cheese, beans, sour cream, jalepeños, tomatoes, and radishes. To maximize cheese coverage, the recipe suggests using both a cheese sauce and shredded cheese. There won't be a dry nacho in the house.
Point Reyes Blue Cheese Steak Sandwiches
I'm a fan of the cheesesteak, though I often wish it contained some more complex flavoring. Sure, you can't go wrong combing cheese whiz and seared steak, but it's definitely not living up to its full potential. This recipe helps the seared steak shine and gives the whole sandwich a makeover. It adds in blue cheese instead of cheese whiz, yellow onions, arugula, and a lathering of mayonnaise.
Whiskey Cheeseburgers
This burger is a meal for the World Series winners—the seasoned patty is stuffed with a whiskey-cheddar filling, topped with your favorite fixin's, and slathered in barbecue sauce. Pair it with a tall beer and enjoy the game.
Sit back, relax, and watch the players do all the work. You've got some Major League Eating to do.

October 21st through October 25th, 2019
Answers to the money questions that keep moms up at night, directly from expert money, career, and business moms who know exactly what you're facing.
Boy mom, girl mom, twin mom, breadwinner, stay-at-home, entrepreneur, work-at-home, authoritative, crunchy, nervous, hot mess, free-range, organic, homeschool, private school, public school, married, divorced, urban, suburban, rural, wealthy, middle class, struggling, confident, overwhelmed, exhausted.
No two moms are the same.
But we all have at least two things in common.
First, we want to give our little people the best opportunities we can so they can grow up to be happy, successful, and safe (& move out of our basements.)
Second, becoming a mom changed our relationship and experience with money, career, and wealth.
We all have questions.
"If I take time off after my baby is born, will I ever catch back up in my career?"
"How do I save for retirement when childcare is the cost of a college education? And speaking of college, how the heck are we supposed to pay for that?"
"Will I ever stop fighting with my spouse about money? Or get them to say more than three grumpy words about it?"
"Can I teach my teenager about money when I have no idea what I'm doing?"
"Do I have the skills (and emotional energy) to start the business I can't stop thinking about?"
"How do we spend less while still enjoying life?"
Sound a little too familiar?
You aren't alone. We all have money questions swirling around our heads.
The Mamas Talk Money Summit is your chance to get them answered.
The Mamas Talk Money Summit, hosted by Smart Money Mamas, is a 5-day virtual event with over 40 speakers to bring you content specifically designed to help moms feel more confident with money and reach their goals. We know that the challenges facing moms are unique and that financial resources can feel like they don't understand the struggle or – worse – are talking down to us. That's why we decided to bring you the best money and career advice, direct from experts who are also women and moms.
Whether you're overwhelmed by money and don't know where to start or are a financial rockstar who wants to connect with other moms working to reach their goals, this summit will provide you with the resources you need.
Over these 5 days, we'll be bringing you speakers who will share frameworks for success while letting you in on their own journeys. We'll be covering:
We're completely obsessed with helping moms reduce money stress, find balance, and reach their financial goals. The Mamas Talk Money Summit is our effort to bring you the best insight available.

Money is hard. You need this knowledge, mama. We know that quality advice on personal finance aren't easy to come by – especially in a format that speaks to your unique needs. Stop wondering. Stop quietly searching Google or calling your mom and get into the (virtual) room with the experts. We're ready to show you how to take your finances to the next level and ditch the uncertainty. We can't wait to see you inside.
Attendance is free and requires no makeup, bra, or pants to take part. #nojudgment You can attend the summit without finding someone to watch the kids, packing a suitcase, booking a hotel, taking time off of work or even getting dressed. It's dream scenario. (You can pinch yourself, it's real.) We know that moms don't always have the luxury of expensive retreats or conferences. So we're bringing the magic right into your home.
Mama, it's time you had someone to talk to. If you're like most moms, the number of people you feel comfortable talking to about money could be counted on one hand. We all need people in our lives who can say, "Yup, you're not alone." and "You've got this." Being in the same community as amazing mamas who are also reaching for their big, scary goals, making mistakes, and picking themselves up will jump start your own success.
This program is designed for moms and women preparing to become moms. It's a place for all mamas to discuss how motherhood impacts our financial lives and discover new ways to thrive.
That said, anyone is welcome to attend. For women who aren't moms, there will absolutely be helpful content surrounding gender gaps in money, career, and business. And we encourage any interested men to attend – the more you know about the hurdles and experiences faced by women, the better an ally you can be!
The Mamas Talk Money summit will kick off October 21, 2019, at 1:00 PM EST and run through October 25, 2019, at 9:00 PM EST.
Make sure you don't miss it – Click here to add the summit to your calendar!

Yes and no.
To avoid the inevitable technical difficulties of trying to stream over 40 talks live over five days, most videos will be pre-recorded. However, at the scheduled release time for each video, the speaker will be live in the chat box to interact with all attendees and answer questions.
Also, there will be two live sessions a day – a Lunch & Learn where we answer questions or dive deep on a topic with a guest and a Pajama Party where we wrap up our favorite moments and lessons from the day and announce giveaway winners.
All videos will be available for 48 hours after their release.
If you would like lifetime access to all videos, as well as some cool perks like transcripts, notes, & downloadable audio of the talks, there will be All-Access passes available for purchase.
Oh goodness, no! The only person you'll get emails from after you sign up is me, Chelsea. That's so you can get all the updates for the summit.
After the summit is over, you'll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for their freebie during their presentation. That way, you only hear from the people you really love.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, we aren't. This year, we have hand-selected all speakers to discuss important topics they are experts in and passionate about.
We are, however, still accepting affiliates to help us promote this incredible event! If you are interested in hearing more, contact us here.
And, you can always contact us to be considered as a speaker next year!
We would be happy to answer them! Contact us here and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. 💖
We'll have special bonuses for the first mamas through the door! Make sure you're the first to know by signing up for regular Mamas Talk Money Summit updates.

I would like to invite you to the joint lecture of Graph Theory Seminar and Algebraic Graph Theory Seminar
Ted Dobson (University of Primorska):
On Automorphisms of Haar graphs of Abelian Groups
Let G be a group and S ⊆ G. A Haar graph of G with connection set S has vertex set Z2 × G and edge set {(0; g)(1; gs) : g ∈ G and s ∈ S}. Haar graphs are then natural bipartite analogues of Cayley digraphs. We rst examine the relationship between the automorphism group of a Cayley digraph of G with connection set S and a Haar graph of G with connection set S. We establish that the automorphism group of a Haar graph contains a natural subgroup isomorphic to the automorphism group of the corresponding Cayley digraph. In the case where G is abelian, we then give four situations in which the automorphism group of the Haar graph can be larger than the natural subgroup corresponding to the automorphism group of the Cayley digraph together with a specic involution, and analyze the full automorphism group in each of these cases. As an application, we show that all s-transitive Cayley graphs of generalized dihedral groups have a quasiprimitive automorphism group, can be \reduced" to s-arc-transitive graphs of smaller order, or are Haar graphs of abelian groups whose automorphism groups have a particular permutation group theoretic property.

After dinner Ryan and I watched The Howling on FEARnet. FEARnet is an on-demand cable service with a library of free horror movies. There were two or three commercials- one before the movie started, and one or two during the movie itself- but you could fast forward through them if you chose to do so, just the same way you could if you had recorded a program on your DVR. I think that FEARnet and other, similar on-demand cable channels just might be the way of the future for a lot of TV programming, although I wouldn't be surprised to see more commercials in the future (I'm not sure that the small amount of advertising on the FEARnet programming is going to be enough to allow a network like that to survive).
Anyway, I thought I had seen The Howling before, but having watched it last night, I'm not sure. At any rate, it's a movie from 1981 about a television reporter who gets attacked while investigating a serial killer. In order to psychologically recover from the attack, she and her husband attend a sort of retreat out in the countryside, in the woods. Instead of providing a relaxing good time, however, wouldn't ya know that their woodland getaway is infested with werewolves? Bummer.
The movie was pretty good, although it had a few of the idiosyncrasies common to 70's and 80's movies (the pacing was odd at times, and there was occasionally some questionable acting). The screenplay was by John Sayles, though, and the underlying story was pretty interesting. The special effects were pretty cool, even if they seem a little rough compared to the CG imagery we get today. Anyway, it was a fun movie, and it was good for getting into the Halloween spirit!
What else?
The City of Austin is establishing a Live Music Task Force to address issues ranging from noise ordinance enforcement to parking costs for musicians to dwindling audience sizes at some of the more popular venues around town. I think this task force is a good idea and long overdue. For a city that describes and sells itself as "the live music capital of the world", Austin can be sort of a rough town for musicians. The cost of living in this town isn't cheap, and clubs don't pay musicians very much (in their defense, a lot of them can't afford to- aside from big events like SXSW and ACL Fest, audiences for live music in Austin have been shrinking over the last few years and overhead costs keep increasing). Plus, with all of the residential development downtown, it's probably a good idea to have someone advocating for the musicians (when all of these people in their million dollar condos start crying about the sounds of live music downtown, we need someone to remind them that this city was all about live music long before yuppies started moving into the high rises). Anyway, to be honest, I think that the city is much more worried about tourist dollars and SXSW as opposed to the plight of the average local musician, but the city is also smart enough to realize that if Austin doesn't maintain a viable, year-round music scene, then the clubs that provide venues for SXSW aren't going to be around when it comes time for the city to take in its yearly multimillion dollar music tourist windfall every spring.
Anyway, I'm all for any action by the city that might make things easier for musicians and club owners.
And.... India is getting more involved in space exploration, launching an unmanned lunar orbiter today which is meant to study geographic and geological features of the moon. I think this is really cool. I wish the U.S. would put a greater focus back on our space program. It could help create jobs, help facilitate technological advancement, and we might even make some useful discoveries in terms of discovering resources in space.
And its been a rough week for McCain, with Colin Powell coming out to endorse Obama and defending his leadership credentials, but despite lagging behind in the recent poll data, McCain did manage to pick up at least one critical endorsement this week. An Al Qaeda web site posted a column this week which asked its readers to do what they could to support McCain. The password protected site, which has been monitored by SITE Intelligence Group out of Maryland, posted a message this week telling members that in order to exhaust the United States both militarily and economically, it would be better to have the "impetuous" Republican Senator John McCain in the White House, because he would continue the wars in Iraq and Afganistan and continue the "failing march of his predecessor, Bush." The web site went so far as to encourage members to carry out "a big operation against American interests" in order to encourage Americans to elect McCain so that he could "take revenge for them against Al Qaeda", which would in turn allow Al Qaeda to "succeed in exhausting America".
So there you have it- a key endorsement for McCain.
I really don't know what to say when our enemies are begging us to keep fighting because they understand that we lose just by continuing to wage the war, but the meanwhile the warhawks within our own ranks wrap themselves in the flag and refuse to understand.
Up is down. Black is white.
Well, that's it for now. Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves.

bsrWas The Howling better than American Werewolf in London??
Lately, Hollywood seems to favor zombie-ism over vampirism, and both over lycanthropy. Which is a crying shame. Every werewolf shall have its day!

We actually discussed that when the movie was over. The Howling came out a little bit before American Werewolf, and it seems like it may have informed AWIL to some degree (Ryan said he thought that some of the werewolf effects in Howling were even better than in AWIL). I'm really not sure you can beat the comedic value of having your undead friends following you around and telling you that you need to kill yourself because you've become a werewolf a**hole, though. That's just good stuff.

I think I said I thought American Werewolf was better.. citing that Rick Baker worked on both. Who knows... I was so full of Candy Corn by the end of the movie, I could have said anything.
According to IMDB, Baker actually left The Howling in production to go work on American Werewolf in London.
I may have said I preferred the bi-pedal Werewolves of Howling to the final product of AWiL, and that the make-up was actually pretty good for its day. Both of which I do believe, but the fx in AWiL are probably "better" if you want to talk transformations, etc...
Man, now I really want to watch AMiL to compare, side-by-side.

Into the Sunlight
by Jan Ackerson
8/21/2007 / Short Stories
Roman shrugs into his favorite Yoda tee-shirt and pulls a baseball cap backwards onto unruly dark hair. Mom is calling from downstairs, and Roman knows that she will insist. It's always the same"Roman, please put down the book and go play outside. That's what boys do, honey."
He is perfectly content in his world of books. In the people-world, Roman cannot decide what the faces meanthat woman's eyes are crinkled: is she happy or mad? That boy is talking loudly: is he scared or excited? But in his books, the people all make sense, and the words tell Roman exactly what they are feeling.
But Mom calls and calls, so Roman has carefully marked his place in Tom Sawyer with a blue bookmark and has replaced it precisely on the shelf, scooching the books a bit until they are perfectly aligned.
"Have fun," Mom says, and she touches Roman's shoulder. He walks heavily outdoors, holding his arms close to his sides and squinting as the sunlight hits his eyes. Looking back at Mom, hoping that she isn't watching, Roman almost makes it back into the house through the side entrance. But Mom is at the window, and she gestures 'go' to him, so he walks stiffly down the block, unsure what to do next.
He stops where the sidewalk ends and looks back. Still Mom.
Ahead of him, across the street, is a park where some boys from school are playing. There are lots of loud voices, too many of them, and Roman covers his ears. Mom would like him to play in the park, he knows, so he walks forward twenty steps, then sits where the grass meets the trees.
The sun is hurting Roman's eyes; he looks down. There in the grass he finds a nickel, smudged with dirt and unpleasantly sticky
"Watch out, dude!" A Frisbee lands near Roman's knee, followed by a boy with a shiny, red face. Roman silently hands him the toy, wipes his hands on his jeans, then stands and takes ten steps into the shelter of the trees. It is quieter here, and cooler, and the glare of the sunlight is subdued. Ten steps more, and Roman spots a glimpse of pink, out of place in the green and brown of his leafy haven. It is a hair ribbon, caught on a dead twig
A small noise causes Roman to shake off his imagination. He cocks his head; the boys are still playing off to his left, but this sound is in the other direction. It scares Roman a littleit is not a sound he can interpret, but he doesn't think it is a happy sound. He looks to the left, considers walking back into the park. He wants to get away from the sound, but it pulls him forward.
He walks, climbs over a fallen and rotting tree, listens. The sound isn't any louder, but it's closer, and it's a person. Roman is almost sure. Yes, over theremore pink, a blonde headit's a little girl, and she is whimpering, her face stained with tears and dirt.
Roman remembers Mom and Dad talking in the living roommissing toddlerpolicemust be deadsearch party. He had wondered: what is a search party? Is there cake?
He does not want to get his hands dirty, but he knows what he must do. "Don't cry," he says, and he takes her pudgy hands in his. "Let's go."
He listens for the sounds of boys playing, and walks with the little girl into the sunlight.

About us
When I moved to Calgary, my naïve self thought that Canada was a bilingual country. So what a surprise it was to find out that Calgary (Alberta) was not.
As worker in the French educational system on Calgary,I came to realise that many parents wished for their kids to be bilingual in order to not have to deal with the barrier of one tongue or the other.
I met a lot of English speaking parents who struggle with things like helping their kids do their homework.
I also meet people who went to french immersion schools yet struggle when working in a French environment because they didn't really get to practice what they learned on daily basics.
Having observed all of these issues, I decided to create IFrench, In order to help people improve their French and walk them through that process with a technique that has been prooven effective for years.

/facts or knowledge provided or learned/computer data/
Let us have a little word play before we launch our assault on the word dealt with presently. On a closer look the word information seems to take its construction from two words brought together as: In + Formation whereby
- In (is defined as)– so as to be enclosed, surrounded, or inside
- Formation (is defined as)– the action of forming or process of being formed; 2nd take – the process of being formed
The first word is predictably straight forward; it's the second part of this word that's quite interesting…the action of forming or of being formed and so on following our second bullet above. Doubly, for the complete construction of the word in question information proper I have included 'computer data' to embrace the fact that as much as computers needs information fed into them by engineers to enable then to carry out tasks so it has come to surface on humanity itself. To carry out decision making we need to organised facts together logically. We are the matrix of the computers though they are highly evolved as far as processing terabytes-gazillions of information is concerned.

'Impossible' deadline set for Stansted Airport planning application, says campaign group
PUBLISHED: 13:00 01 August 2018
Uttlesford District Council (UDC) and Manchester Airports Group (MAG), the owners of Stansted Airport, have succumbed to pressure to provide more information about the local impacts of the current Stansted Airport planning application.
An additional 900 pages of information has now had to be provided.
However, Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE), a campaign group aiming to stop the expansion of the airport, says UDC has "once again" set "minimal time for public consideration" with a deadline of August 31 for comments.
The planning application, which was submitted by MAG in February, seeks permission increase passenger numbers from 35 million passengers per year to 43 million passengers per year.
MAG is also seeking the removal of a longstanding condition which prevents it from lobbying Government for more night flights.
Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) has been highly critical of the way in which UDC has been intent on rushing through the airport planning application, arguing that there has been minimal time allowed for public consultation at each stage.
UDC had originally intended to have the application decision served on July 18 in line with an agreement between the council and MAG which included financial contributions from Stansted's owners in return for its planning application being fast-tracked.
Chairman of SSE, Peter Sanders, says the additional 900 pages of information in the application is an "attempt to remedy the earlier shortcomings".
He said: "The effect of UDC and MAG seeking to rush through the application is that corners were cut from the very beginning through the provision of inadequate information about the impacts of the proposed expansion upon local residents and the local environment.
"August 31 is an impossible deadline to achieve, unless Uttlesford only wants to receive superficial responses. Parish and town councils don't even meet during August, nor does UDC council or cabinet. August is a lost month so far as a public consultation is concerned.
"It is especially galling because Uttlesford caused this problem in the first place. The council should not have accepted such a deficient planning application back in February. It is a case of more haste, less speed. And we have also now learned that planning officers received most of these 900 pages of additional information in early July and chose not to make it public for almost three weeks."
Meanwhile, SSE has continued to pursue a High Court challenge aimed at transferring the responsibility for determining the planning application from UDC to the secretary of state. SSE's formal application for judicial review is expected to be submitted to the High Court by August 9.
Mr Sanders said: "We've just been handed 900 more reasons for this planning application to be taken out of UDC's hands and put into the hands of an expert team appointed by the secretary of state. This will ensure a more professional process and a more realistic timetable for all of the impacts and implications are thoroughly scrutinised."
In response, a spokesman for UDC said: "Uttlesford District Council reiterates that it was not possible to stick to the original July timescales as stated in the Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) as further analysis and work was required, particularly in relation to surface access, noise and air quality.
"Following receipt of revised documents UDC met with the statutory consultees to establish that all of the appropriate and correct information had been provided and checked. Rather than consult on numerous occasions officers considered that a single consultation would prevent confusion to consultees and the public.
"The full information has now been received, and a further period of public consultation is being carried out with statutory consultees, local residents and other interested parties. The PPA is also being renegotiated with MAG and ECC and when it is finalised, the revised timescales for dealing with this application will be announced."
It is understood the additional information was provided by MAG in response to the public consultation and said it was an opportunity to clarify matters that have been misinterpreted.
