Under 12s will soon be getting their own child-friendly versions of popular Google products, such as YouTube and the Chrome browser.
Pavni Diwanji, Google's Vice President of Engineering, announced the move in an interview with USA today, saying, "The big motivator inside the company is everyone is having kids, so there's a push to change our products to be fun and safe for children. We expect this to be controversial, but the simple truth is kids already have the technology in schools and at home. So the better approach is to simply see to it that the tech is used in a better way."
Diwanji insists that there will still be parental supervision involved with the adolescent editions of Google's services. "We want to enable supervision but not be regimental. But that's challenging because no two parents are alike. I have friends who are helicopter parents and others are even more liberal than me, but everyone has to be accommodated by whatever we create," she explained.

Day 355
Friday, December 21, 2012
Welcome to Day 355 of our Life Journal!
Click here for today's reading: John 9; John 10; John 11 2012 Daily Bible Reading Plan)
Before you comment or read what I have posted, please read the following passages for yourself and complete your own S.O.A.P. exercise… How does this work?
S.O.A.P = Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
S cripture
John 9:30, "Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes." (This man was born blind… See verse 1.)
John 10:11, "I am the good shepherd."
19 "The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them said, 'He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?' 21 But others said, 'These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?'"
John 11:21, "'Lord,' Martha said to Jesus, 'if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.'"
O bservation
Interesting what Jesus said about himself, and what others said about him.
A pplication
"Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes."
People are rarely neutral about Jesus.
They either are believers, or not…
Here Jesus had just healed a man born blind. Yet they were questioning where he had come from… not "Nazareth" but in a larger sense. (That he had come from God.) They were more concerned that Jesus had "broken the Sabbath" than the fact he had performed an amazing, creative miracle! They were upset that Jesus was stealing their thunder…
Imagine a man getting healed, who was born blind! And they are struggling over who he is and how he did it??
In yesterday's blog, I was pondering why some people believe, and others don't.
I don't think there's a simple answer for this.
Is it upbringing?
Is it hardness of heart?
Is it our society? That "whatever you believe" is ok?
Is it that no one properly shared the message in a way one could understand or hear it?
This is an amazing time of year, when the focus is on the Christ child. (This should make Ricky Bobby happy.)
Many people will attend Christmas eve services all over the world and hear the message of how God sent his only son to die for us.
Some will pass off the message and walk away…
Some will want to hear more…
Others will believe and follow him.
I have no idea really what causes one to believe and another to turn away… all I know is, Jesus said,
"I know my sheep… and my sheep know me."
He made a way for all of us to know him…
P rayer
Lord, I thank you that you are the Good Shepherd. Thank you for laying your life down for me.

We normally associate the cannabis plant with "getting high," but there is more to it than meets the eye. Consider cannabidiol (CBD), for instance, which is a chemical compound produced by this intriguing plant that has a whole host of benefits for the human body and mind. Mix this compound with a carrier oil (coconut oil, for example), and you get CBD oil, a highly convenient remedy to various ailments.
To reinforce the first point, using CBD oil will not make you see stars during the day, because the cannabis compound that is responsible for that particular mental state is THC, and certainly not CBD. As far as legality is concerned, using it is legal wherever recreational marijuana is legal, such as in California and Colorado.
Generally speaking, CBD oil is extremely useful for dealing with anxiety, depression, and epilepsy, but what you might not know is that it makes for an excellent addition to your beauty and skincare regimen as well. For starters, it consists of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties which are useful for treating conditions like atopic dermatitis. Similarly, the oleic acids present in it play a vital role in anti-aging.
What to factor in when buying CBD oil
It can be quite challenging to invest in the right kind of CBD oil because you want to ensure that you get what you are looking for and it does not result in your money going down the drain. A few of the most important factors to consider when buying CBD oil include concentration, strength, and purity.
Cannabis plants are pretty good at accumulating all kinds of things from the air, water, and soil around them. This naturally includes undesirable things such as dirt, pesticides and other chemicals. When investing in CBD oil, you want to ensure that you are getting a product that is pure and potent, devoid of any impurities.
Ensuring purity
Companies peddling CBD oil will claim to offer the strongest, most concentrated and purest concoction to you. However, you can never take them on their word, because they are dabbling in old-school marketing tactics after all. Instead, you should get the oil tested by a third-party accredited lab or special institution to determine if it's sufficiently pure and potent for use. The tests must ensure that the oil is free of residual solvents, bacteria, and fungi, heavy metals, foreign matter, and pesticides.
Pure CBD oil in the market
Now that you know what constitutes pure CBD oil and how to ensure that you end up buying it instead of wasting your money, you can look forward to searching for the right product. The Purest CBD Oil Canada can be obtained from brands such as Diamond CBD, Pure Science Labs, Purekana and Green Roads.
If you are based in eastern Canada in places like Montreal, getting your CBD oil from Diamond CBD is an excellent choice, because it's close by and you'll get a decent product. However, if you live in the West near places like Vancouver, the purest CBD oil can be obtained from Pure Science Labs.

In reading through it now, I do see some similarities which are more than I expected. For example the Gallente is of French descent, whereas in Veure, the Gaul are of French descent. And the items you list above are similar.

Fortunately, that's where the similarity ends. Eve Online is graphical, we're text. EO is almost exclusively in-ship, whereas I'm making something in which you can play on a ship, if you want, but that's almost a side issue and certainly not something you can do at the beginning of the game (way too expensive). Further, the story lines intended will be far different from Eve's.

There are some aspects which will be naturally similar and impossible to avoid given the initial overall structure and science fiction nature, but I don't think people will hold that against me.Ovidhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037312593882850782.post-78141652114611041962014-07-06T23:06:34.286-07:002014-07-06T23:06:34.286-07:00Out of interest, have you ever played EVE Online? ...Out of interest, have you ever played EVE Online?

I've always found it interesting that hope is in the equation.. usually it has positive connotations but in this case it is quite negative and can be even destructive. Interesting article that addresses the 'hope' aspect: http://www.fibtimer.com/subscribers_historical_reports/060521_fibtimer_commentary.asp From the article: "When we take a position in the market, whether bullish or bearish, we hope it will be successful. Hope can be such a powerful emotion, that when the same trading plan that told us to enter a position originally, reverses and tells us to exit immediately, our emotions may very well focus on the possibility that if we just hold on a bit longer, any loss may be erased."

Polk County Board of Education members are being asked to assist with an ongoing problem facing the school system — antiquated heating and air units.At Tuesday evening's board meeting at Copper …
Polk County Board of Education members are being asked to assist with an ongoing problem facing the school system — antiquated heating and air units.
At Tuesday evening's board meeting at Copper Basin High School, Director of Schools D. James Jones provided school board members with information compiled to date on the old system.
Repair costs over the past few years ($400,000) have been excessive, and more work is needed. Polk Schools do not have a maintenance contract on the heating and air system.
Maintenance personnel are currently attempting to determine the age of all the units, hoping to assist in a decision on which ones need repair, and others that need to be replaced.
Former board chair James Davis asked if it would be beneficial to train a member of the maintenance crew to work on the system.
Jones said the Maintenance Department is already behind on ongoing projects, and pulling one of them off would delay those projects even more. He added that it might even result in the need for a new hire in maintenance.
Board members were asked to review the information and make suggesto to December's meeting with suggestions.
In the meantime, additional information will be compiled.
In other school board action Tuesday:
• Some policy changes, recommended by the Tennessee School Board Association, was approved on second and final reading.
• Board members approved action regarding a bid proposal for upgrades to Polk County's Central Office computers for the Finance Department's payroll and accounting system.
The director of schools said this is being required by the state Department of Education, and funding is in place.
"Our system is 4 to 5 years old," he pointed out, "and the software has outrun the hardware."
• Also approved by the board was an overnight trip by the Copper Basin boys basketball team to play in a tournament at Pigeon Forge High School, in Sevier County.
• The board approved two other overnight trips for Polk County students. They include a trip by Copper Basin's Health Science class to Vanderbilt University, for a HOSA Health Symposium; and a trip by FFA students to a leadership Conference at Doyle High School in Knox County.
• Culminating Tuesday's school board meeting was approval of the 2019-20 school calendar, and approval of Textbook Committee appointees.

Flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness … The advantages of international arbitration over traditional litigation have been well espoused and are well known to most, if the increasing growth of international arbitration is anything to go by. However, the extent to which these advantages can survive the tactics of disputing parties and be realised in practice has increasingly been called into question. For proponents of international arbitration, this is concerning. The perception that arbitration is less timely, no cheaper and indeed potentially more expensive than commercial litigation is sufficient to render parties reluctant to undertake arbitration.
The Singapore International Arbitration centre (SIAC) has sought to alleviate this concern by introducing progressive new provisions in the sixth edition of the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore Arbitration Centre (SIAC Rules 2016), which came into effect on 1 August 2016.2 The changes introduced under these new provisions will significantly re-inforce the traditional advantages associated with international arbitration, including efficiency and cost effectiveness, particularly in respect of complex disputes involving multiple parties or contracts.
Multiple Contracts and Consolidation (Rule 6 & 8)
In recognition of the increasingly complex nature of international commercial disputes, the SIAC Rules 2016 incorporate a new procedure that provides two routes by which a claimant in a multicontract dispute can commence proceedings:
- Filing a Notice of Arbitration in respect of each contract, whilst concurrently submitting an application for consolidation.
- Filing a single Notice of Arbitration for all the contracts, with the Notice of Arbitration servingas the application for consolidation.
The SIAC Rules 2016 also allow for a party to make an application for consolidation after proceedings have been commenced to either SIAC or the Tribunal.
This rule change will significantly improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of arbitrating multi-contract disputes, particularly when compared to the previous position where arbitrations could only be consolidated by consent, creating the risk of additional costs and time, should either party elect to adopt an obstructionist approach.
Early Dismissal of Claims and Defences (Rule 29)
SIAC is the first major commercial arbitration centre to introduce a procedure for the early dismissal of a claim or a defence. The procedure allows parties to apply for the dismissal of a claim or defence where the relevant claim or defence is either:
- Manifestly without legal merit
- Manifestly outside the jurisdiction of the tribunal
This new provision is analogous to seeking summary judgment, and has the potential to provide parties with significant savings of time and costs.
Delocalising the Seat of the Arbitration (Rule 21)
Another significant change introduced under the SIAC Rules 2016 is the removal of the notion of a default seat of arbitration. This change acknowledges the fact that most disputes are of an international character. Instead of Singapore being the default seat under the SIAC Rules 2016, the tribunal will determine the seat once constituted unless the parties have agreed otherwise.
Parties should carefully consider where they elect the seat of arbitration, as it will dictate the procedural laws by which the proceedings are conducted, including the availability of any appeal or review process.
More on Singapore
The SIAC Rules 2016 should be of particular interest to the infrastructure and projects industry in Australia. Singapore is renowned for its strong and sophisticated economy, and has been consistently ranked as one of the best locations globally for Ease of Doing Business.3 Singapore also represents the middle ground between Australia and its key Asian trading partners in Japan, China, and South Korea.
These reasons, combined with the efficiency and cost-effectiveness that the latest SIAC Rules 2016 introduced, makes Singapore a seriously attractive place for the Australian infrastructure and projects industry to refer its disputes to.

This is a grainy highlight tape of a LSU/Alabama game from 1992. The star players in the game: Latrell Sprewell (#42 in White), Robert Horry (#25 in White), and Shaquille O'Neal (#33 in yellow, as if you can't recognize him, even with terrible resolution, he sticks out easily)
But I'm thinking Sprewell is the best comp. He's a 6'4" guard with incredible hops, but is lean and lanky, like Cassius. He's got a little bit of an in between game, and gets to the rim with finesse. He's also a monster in transition, with a couple of steals and fast break flushes in this game.
Obviously, the main draw here is still Shaq, who is just unstoppable. Young Shaq is mesmerizing. This is before he put on all that weight he would eventually have, so he's still got unbelievable athleticism around the rim.
Alaa Abdelnaby and Phil Henderson both made All-ACC in 1990. The duo combined for 164 points in 1987. Using your standards, it would be accurate to state that the 1987 team had four All-ACC players.
But fundamentally misleading.
I love the 1987 team and have written about it extensively. It might be my favorite Duke team ever in large part because it did not have any significant star power. John Smith, the starting center, averaged 3.3 rebounds per game. Starting small forward Billy King averaged 7.2 points per game. Danny Ferry was the leading scorer at 14.0 ppg, the lowest average to lead Duke since 1960. Shooting guard Kevin Strickland was the team's second-leading rebounder at 4.6 rpg. Sophomore Quin Snyder and freshman Robert Brickey were the key reserves. Ferry was the only one of the top seven to ever play in the NBA. How many future NBA players are in this year's top 7? More than one I suspect. The entire 1987 team had fewer blocked shots than Shelden Williams did in either his 2005 and 2006 seasons.
But this team defended like junk-yard dogs and was practically the definition of the exceeding the sum of its parts. But it was in no way, shape or form a star-driven team.

Top sights in London
London is a fascinating place filled with hundreds of years of bloodshed, adultery, betrayal, political conspiracies, etc. At the same time it offers modern, posh places to browse through to take a break from all the dark and evil history. Here are the list of must-sees when visiting London:
1. London Eye
One of the landscape icons of London is the London Eye, which is basically a Ferris wheel located right in the middle of the city on the Thames river. We did not go up (we decided to spend 18 GBP per person on beer instead), but on the last day I noticed an ad for a London Eye restaurant which might be a reasonable way to go as you can get meal with the view (but I am not sure about the price).
2. London Tower and Tower Bridge
IMHO, the best thing to see in London is the London Tower. You don't need to be a history buff to appreciate this place. The entrance fee is ~20 GBP per person, which is totally worth it. (We actually had a 2 for 1 deal, which we picked up at the train station on the way back from Cambridge.) The price includes an hour long tour which is conducted by Beefeaters (retired military soldiers who "guard" the tower). You can easily spend half a day walking around the towers and looking at various exhibitions of weapons, armory, torture tools (although I was disappointed with the breadth), Crown Jewels where you can see the 530 carat diamond from Africa).
3. Big Ben and the Parliament
I got to first see the Big Ben at night with its face lighting up the dark London skies.
It looked just as pretty in the day time.
4. Westminster Abbey
We did not go inside the Westminster Abbey (we weren't that interested in seeing graves of famous people), but we passed the building a few times marveling at its beautiful architecture.
5. Greenwich Market and Observatory
I ran into a London-based journalist at the BUILD conference a week prior to the trip and he recommended that we take a clipper boat up the Thames to Greenwich and stroll through the park and the market area. I am so glad we followed his recommendation. Greenwich is beautiful.
(Did you notice anything interesting about the clock behind us? We didn't at first.)
I am not a big market fan, but I was impressed with the selection of handmade artistry. We purchased two beautiful photos of London (and my bargaining tactics were a success).
6. Trafalgar Square and the Art Gallery
We stopped by Trafalgar square twice. The first time was through our walking tour where we witnessed the Tour of London. Crazy fast cyclists were zooming by with crowds cheering them on.
The second time was on the way to National Art Gallery. It was on a Saturday so the square was packed for a festival and concert.
I love browsing through museums. Being to the Met and Smithsonian's a few times, I have a pretty high bar for Art galleries. London's National Gallery has a wide range of 14th-19th century artists: Leonardo Da Vinci, Raffaello, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Gauguin. They've got all the big guys well covered. We also went to the Portrait Gallery next door to look at Tudors portraits.
7. Buckingham Palace and St. James Park
We got lucky with the weather during the trip and had a nice picnic in St. James Park of bread, cheese and fruit. We returned to the Buckingham Palace to watch the guard change the next day.
8. Guard change
This is the best show in town. I first thought there will be a couple of soldiers changing shifts in a few minutes. Was I ever mistaken! During summer months the change of guard happens daily at 11:30, but Sept-May it's every other day. You'd want to get there at least half an hour before to find a good spot as it's a huge tourist attraction. If you get lucky, you will get entertained while waiting for the guard change to start by one of the local protest groups– in our case it was Justice for Fathers, who want child visitation rights, so they dress up like superheroes and climb on things, to demonstrate that they are responsible adults (!?!).
The first group of guards came from the center of St. James park.
The second group appeared from the right about ten minutes later:
And if that wasn't enough, they brought out the cavalry.
9. Kensington Palace and Hyde Park
Kensington Palace was closed for restoration and only one wing was opened with a guest exhibit, so we did not get to see the inside of the palace (a bit of a letdown).
The best part was high tea at the Orangery restaurant where I got the traditional English tea experience of London's finest Breakfast tea and freshly baked fruit scone with cream (something between butter, sour cream and cream cheese) & jam. Eric went with an American classic – Carrot Cake with Cream cheese frosting
To walk off some of the delicious calories, we strolled through the Hyde Park on our way to Harrods. In the park, I posed next to Peter Pan statue, dipped my hands in Princess Diana's Fountain, almost got bitten by a swan, and met a new friend, Charlie.
10. Harrods
Harrods is a bit overrated, if you ask me. For starters, it's extremely expensive and crowded. The designers cost the same in GBP as they do in US$ back home, and they don't have any sales! "Featuring 300 departments" translated to 300 small rooms that you keep getting lost in, so after 30 minutes of fighting through crowds and feeling out of place around the posh merchandise we hit the street. We spotted Eric's fantasy car on the way, but we were too shy to go in to see it in person, and had to settle for drooling at the window.

Upmarket safari venue and spa is fenced and has three boreholes and 6km of river frontage
Three game farms – among them the well-known and water-rich Witwater Safari Lodge and Spa – located near Mookgopong, in Limpopo, will be sold by public auction at 11am on November 7.
The farms will first be offered individually and then together, says Johan van Eyk of Van's Auctioneers.
The stylish and upmarket lodge is situated on a farm of about 1480ha.
The lodge has eight en-suite luxury rooms; three luxury suites, also with en-suite bathrooms; four safari tents; and three units, which can each accommodate four people, on the banks of the Phalala River.
The property also includes a self- catering house comprising four en-suite bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, an outside braai area and a splash pool.
In addition to the accommodation, the lodge itself has a reception and lounge area, a boardroom, conference facilities, a restaurant, a bar, a swimming pool and a house that serves as workers' quarters.
The luxurious spa is also situated near the lodge. "It features a heated indoor pool, a sauna, treatment rooms and a pool with a view over the farm and the river."
The improvements on the property have a total area of just over 5000m². The property has about 6km of river frontage, and three equipped boreholes. A three-metre game fence surrounds the property.
Van Eyk says all the movable assets used in the operation of the lodge will be offered as a separate lot after the sale of the three game farms, and then the game viewers and game also as separate lots.
Lot 2 is the game farm Jeannetta-Haar-Loop, which is nearly 1500ha in size.
There is an old house on the farm, and also a Vodacom/MTN tower that produces a monthly income of R12000.
"This farm is also very rich in water and has about 5.6km of frontage on the Phalala River, which meanders along its boundary."
Next up for auction will be Vogelvlei Farm (Lot 3), which has an area of about 436ha.
"Vogelvlei Farm is also rich in water and has natural springs that feed the Jonkmans Spruit and dams," says Van Eyk.
Both the Jeannetta-Haar-Loop and Vogelvlei farms have game fencing between 2.4m and 3m high, he says.
The auctions will be held at the Witwater Safari Lodge and Spa, about 60km from Mookgopong.
For more details or an appointment to view the farms, contact Van's Auctioneers on 0861118267, or see www.vansauctions.co.za

The Huery family had the joyful opportunity to attend Camp Korey this past May, and a wonderful time they had.
Jason Jr., who is 12 years old and has Sickle Cell Anemia, said it is one of the best times he has had. Jason said that some of his favorite things were rock climbing —"it was super fun"— playing basketball, all the outside activities, and arts and crafts. Jason thought about it and could not think of a least favorite activity because everything was just really fun. He also stressed that the food was great and the cooks were very good. The downside of it was that there were not many boys there his age, but that if given the chance he would go back again next year and tell other boys about Camp Korey.
Tanisha is Jason's mother. This was their second year attending Camp Korey. Their family consists of Jason Sr., Janique (Jason's twin sister), Jasyra (6 years old) and Jahreem (4 years old).
Tanisha said that the first year they went was scary, because they didn't know what to expect. She also felt overshadowed the first year and kept her kids close by but was very excited to return this year.
Lodging was very nice. All families stayed together, or large families stayed across the hall from each other. Each family was appointed a family helper to allow parents some "me time," where they could just enjoy themselves and not worry about their children.
The Huery family enjoyed dressing up in costumes, the scavenger hunt, building campfires, singing, and making s'mores. There was also a talent show and a movie night. That definitely is a lot of activities to cover during the weekend. On the Camp Korey grounds there is a Nestle Chocolate Museum and a farm. The lake across the street from the farm is another fun activity, but unfortunately this year there was too much debris and the campers were not allowed to go there.
Tanisha stated that she enjoyed the adult activities. There was a parents' meeting where two adults with Sickle Cell came and talked with them about bone marrow transplants, and the parents were able to talk with one another about their fears.
Bringing the community of Sickle Cell families together is a big part of Camp Korey. The connections that you are able to make are very strong and lasting. Her younger children have met some friends from Camp Korey, and Tanisha met a mother that she plans to keep in touch with.
The Huery family plans to go again next year if their family gets picked, but they do understand that this was their second time and other families need to experience Camp Korey also.
We wish them luck!

In Sweden, defense cuts have forced the release of former military areas no longer needed for military purposes. These areas are often contaminated with explosive remnants from military activities, such as unexploded ordnance on former shooting ranges and surplus ammunition dumped in lakes and rivers. A complete elimination of such contamination is usually not possible; there will still be a residual risk after remediation.
Several government agencies and other stakeholders are involved and concerned with the risk management, but no single body has the overall responsibility. Liability is sometimes difficult to establish. For example, who is responsible if an accident occurs after remediation and release to a new landowner?
What was previously only an issue for the military has become a risk challenge to society in general.
Explosive remnants remediation leads to substantial costs – costs that increase rapidly with increased levels of remediation. With limited resources available, these should be allocated based on the risk reduction that they can provide. The questions "What is the acceptable residual risk from a societal perspective?" and "How safe is safe enough?" in relation to the new usage become important criteria for decision making.
During the 17th ISIEMS a research program for the development of a risk-based model for release of land and water contaminated with explosive remnants was presented. Since then, a lot of new knowledge has been generated and added to the model.
Still, however the question "How to combine and visualize a joint risk assessment to decision makers?" remains unanswered. Explosive remnants remediation involves the simultaneous management of different risk dimensions and many different stakeholders. Therefore, a multifaceted risk picture needs to be communicated to decision makers for prioritization of – often costly - risk reduction measures. This raises the question if a multifaceted problem requires a multitude of solutions or if standardized solutions can be used?
In the paper, the strengths and weaknesses of varying degrees of standardization, where different risk dimensions (environmental, safety and security) are combined into a common risk picture, are analyzed. The analysis shows that standardization creates a foundation for cooperation between stakeholders with divergent rationales. Furthermore, standardization is a prerequisite to communicate a complex risk situation to decision makers. A high degree of standardization, however, takes place at the expense of comparability with other societal risks and requires modifications of existing risk management tools. The conclusion is that standardization is not black and white; the level of standardization is critical and has to be adapted to the nature of the problem - otherwise the utility will be reduced - or even lost.
The situation with multifaceted risks is not unique for the handling of explosive remnants. Our modern society offers a lot of situations with complex risk pictures where different aspects and different stakeholders are involved in the managing of the same issue. Basic societal functions like electrical power supply and fresh water supply also involve antagonistic threats that must be handled together with both safety and environmental risks.
The resulting model may be used to visualize and communicate the overall risk picture to decision makers for complex risk situations.

just a quicky:
(If you don't know what this is about maybe you want to brush up your knowlege in offensive security)
If you need to generate a simple reverse shell payload with metasploit (msfpayload | msfencode) be aware of the difference between shell/reverse_tcp and shell_reverse_tcp!
shell/reverse_tcp is just a stager that connects back to metasploit and loads the actual payload (shellcode)! So if you are sitting in front of your netcat listener the stager will miss its intended stage and will not perform a pretty act (a shell) for you…
If you are just using msfpayload you will see a splitted output (Stage 1+2) that will remind you. However if you pipe directly into msfencode then you will get no feedback in the output!

When it comes to engagement rings, making a choice on where to buy can be an extremely tough decision. With so many companies out there, the first step of the diamond buying experience can seem more daunting than the actual proposal. Not to mention, diamonds can be prohibitively expensive for people on a tight budget. However, if you know where to look, there are many tips and tricks that you can use to help find a ring that is not only gorgeous, but doesn't break the bank.
The #1 tip? Lab grown diamonds — a breakthrough trend in the diamond industry that provides buyers with a lower cost — and equally beautiful — option of identical quality. That's right; identical. Why? Because cultured diamonds are real diamonds; check out the recent FTC changes to the definition of 'diamond' that proves it.
So, how much can you save by choosing lab-grown? Well carat for carat, cultured diamonds of similar cut and clarity are typically 20-30% less expensive than their traditionally mined counterparts. Or, as you might have already figured, that means smart shoppers can get a diamond that's 20-30% larger for the same price.
A Primer on Lab-Created Diamonds
It's important to realize that just because lab-grown diamonds are less expensive, it doesn't mean they're cheap. Believe it or not, the only thing that makes a lab-created diamond different from a mined diamond is its origin. Since the supply chain is a bit shorter for lab-grown diamonds, they touch fewer hands — making them less expensive.
Besides the lower price tag, lab-grown diamonds have a few other advantages:
More ethical. It's no secret that the mined-diamond industry has come under fire for, among other things: exploiting miners and their families through forced labor; and, indirectly funding violent rebel movements in countries throughout Africa. Those diamonds are infamously known as "blood diamonds."
Environmentally friendly. Because lab-created diamonds take considerably less energy to produce and bring to market, they have a markedly-smaller adverse effect on our environment than mined diamonds.
More Money-Saving Tips
Now that you know man made diamonds can save you a significant amount of cash without compromising quality, here are a few other tips that will stretch your engagement ring budget even more:
Buy shy. Generally speaking diamond prices increase disproportionately at the carat and half-carat marks, so make sure your diamond's size is always just shy of a whole number. You can typically save upwards of 20%
by buying a diamond that is, for example, 1.8 carats instead of 2 carats. Best of all, the difference will be barely noticeable.
Get an emerald cut. An emerald cut is not only a timeless classic, but it's also generally less expensive because they have fewer facets, which reduces the diamond's shimmer. On the other hand, an emerald cut makes
the diamond appear larger than other cuts — so it is a cost-effective and satisfying trade-off for most people.
Choose a set. It's not uncommon for jewelers to offer a discount if you choose to buy the engagement ring and the wedding band at the same time.
Consider a halo setting. You can create the illusion of a larger diamond with a halo setting, which is a circle of smaller stones around a larger center diamond.
Do your own research. Sites like Reddit are a great place to find unbiased information from real buyers and industry experts, without the extra fluff.
All in all, purchasing an engagement ring can seem overwhelming. But, with the right tools and a bit of homework, you can easily find the ring of her dreams at a price that you're both comfortable with.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The student will have to acquire the capability to connect the chemical nomenclature to the corresponding formula and to describe the structure and function of macromolecules such as carbohydrate, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids present in the cell. He must recognize the functional groups responsible for the reactivity of the molecules. He must acquire an overview of the mechanisms that govern the transformation of the molecules and its correlation with the production and consumption of energy. He must understand and appreciate the connections between chemistry and biology.
The student must acquire the ability to select and apply the gained knowledge not only in theory but also while carrying out training activities.

Teaching methods
The course will be conducted on the basis of lectures during which after having exposed some general concepts will go on to describe their first applications in chemical systems model and then as part of the life processes of a cell.
The classes will be divided into three parts. A brief introduction to resume the arguments put forward in the previous lesson (10 '), a space for questions about the arguments (10') and 30 'to present new arguments. Due to the limited time available, during the Course, priority will be given to a thorough discussion of the most conceptual part of the program, the remaining part will be left to the student's individual study activity using the recommended text books.
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of the achievement of the objectives set by the Course includes a written test followed and no oral exam.
Overall, the test is intended to certify whether the student has achieved a good knowledge and understanding of the whole chemical principles that underlie life processes and if he is able to select and apply them to solve simple problems.
As required by law and University Teaching Regulations, it is not possible to carry out the examination in parts and to acquire credits to one or more parts of the program.

I have a chest cold and I feel crappy. I feel like I'm trying to breathe underwater with an iron band strapped around my chest. And being sick and feeling crappy just gets me to thinking of everything else that buggers me and pisses me off. Like...
I hate when people use their leaf blowers to blow their leaves out into the street. It's lazy, it's pointless and it is stupid.
I hate driving behind vehicles that are belching exhaust. Like city buses.
I hate the sound of the turn signal. With all the innovations they've put into cars, why can't they give us the option to turn off that sound?? I promise not to drive around with my blinker on.
I hate when my physician refers me for physical therapy and then after I've racked up a grand in charges, the insurance company denies my claim b/c the PT wasn't in their network. What? I was supposed to check that??
But you know what I love? I love when I'm sick in bed and my puppy lays outside my bedroom door and watches over me.

I am now done with my ICU month. I would just like to reiterate, again, that being on 30-hour call every third day for an entire month is total and complete bullshit that ruins your body and soul and no one should have to do it.
I have also been advised by legal counsel, also known as one-half of the Bringers of Life, that in my previous post I apparently ran a small risk of getting in trouble. I am not sure why; perhaps this is because I reference in somewhat pointed terms that one of my hospital sites (the Not A Real Hospital one) is run about as efficiently as a traffic jam.

My time at the VA intensive care unit has come to a close, and while I am currently enrolled in a class (name: "Medical Imaging and Anatomy," actual name, "Nate Gives Absolutely No F*cks"), what I'm actually doing is just twiddling my thumbs until it's time to match on Friday. Continue reading
Two things right up front:
With that said, I write this post while experiencing a fairly complex, ebbing and flowing mix of trepidation, desperation, apathy, and outright nihilism. These are the emotions of a compromised fourth year student with a willpower wellspring shallower than a lunchbox. When you do nothing for almost three months, your brain atrophies; at this point, all I'm really capable of doing is following the smells of free food and clicking "Yes, I'm Still Watching" on the Netflix popup. This bodes poorly for my ICU rotation starting tomorrow. Continue reading
Next month, I'll be doing my sub-internship at a veteran's hospital near my home school. A sub-internship is supposed to be a capstone to medical school, a chance to behave "like the intern" in preparation for the actual ass-clenching panic of actually being an intern.
(It also means that I will be writing much, much less, which is probably a welcome respite for those of you not named Grandma.)
The VA, as it affectionately and simultaneously-not-affectionately known, is one of my favorite places in the medical universe. Continue reading

DAVENPORT, Iowa-- Sudlow Intermediate school is taking another step into the modern world.
Parents can now download an app on their phone that provides school information all in the palm of their hand.
The app idea was first brought up by technology teacher Evan Mosier.
He says it's to help improve parent and school communication.
"There's always that phone message that goes home, there's always that sheet of paper that you pass out in homerooms that we hope makes it to the parents," says Mosier.
With the help of Mosier, the school hired a company to develop an app.
Local businesses in the area also helped out with costs. The annual cost for running the app is $2600 dollars.
The app features a parental portal, lunch payment option, a school calendar, push notifications and more.
The app is named after the school, "Sudlow Intermediate School" and is available for Apple and Android devices.
So far around 300 families have downloaded the app.

- Insanity from overuse of crystals in this mod can change how you play the game (In the mod!)
- Mysterious books containing runes and glyphs may appear in your world (Future)
- Magical reagents can help you create artificial crystals with different abilities (Future)
Currently, this mod supports Minecraft 1.12.2 and may support versions above that in the future.
This mod is in beta. It is, in turn, very buggy. If you find a bug, please report it here.

Blemishes, which can occur as skin discolouration or dark spots, are generally caused by acne breakouts. "Blemishes can be credited to causes like hormonal imbalance, genetics, improper skin care, poor diet, sun exposure and ageing. Pimples, pustules, blackheads and whiteheads can also be categorised as blemishes caused by clogged pores," dermatologist Dr Abdulrahman Raghib said. While they can appear anywhere on the body, the main focus is always on the face, neck, shoulders and back, he said. "The market is loaded with products to fight blemishes, but they are often chemical-based and might be harsh on the skin," he added.
If larger pores and unsightly blemishes are bothering you, there are some other smart ways to shrink them. In fact, Raghib suggests turning to Mother Nature to get rid of them and pamper your skin at the same time. Here are his recommendations:
Wash your face everyday but don't over do it. Use a gentle, daily scrub to help unclog pores because they enlarge when they become bunged up with dirt, oil or bacteria, causing them to become inflamed. Washing twice a day will help keep pores looking smaller and feeling better.
Keep the area cold. When washing your face, give it a gentle massage with an ice cube for 15 to 30 seconds. This will have a tightening effect on the skin.
18 Quick and Easy Hacks to Try at Home:
Baking Soda
Using baking soda is a very popular method for getting rid of acne scars naturally, as it helps to unclog your pores and kills acne-causing bacteria. It even helps to exfoliate the skin. Simply combine water and baking soda and mix it into a paste. Apply this blend to your acne scars and let it sit for about two to three minutes, then wash and rinse your skin well. Use this technique twice daily.
Tomato Face Mask
This is a simple home acne remedy that can help get rid of acne scars/blemishes. Take half a tomato and start rubbing it on your scars. Leave it for 20 minutes and then rinse. This will lighten the scars.
Take some boiled carrots, mash them up and apply the paste to your face. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off with milk. This will remove blemishes/acne scars.
Cucumber Juice
Apply cucumber juice to your face or just massage it with cucumber slices. This will help remove marks/spots and freshen up your skin. Use cucumber juice to wash your face once a day to keep your skin soft and supple.
Egg Whites
Use a cotton ball to massage some egg white on your face. The whites of an egg have very powerful healing qualities, which can help to heal your scars, blemishes and dark spots.
The Honey Rub
A honey rub is an excellent way to smooth out the skin and clean your pores. Use warm water to clean your face, then quickly pat the skin and dry. This will open up the pores and allow the honey to make its way into them. Rub in the honey to the areas affected by acne scars and lightly massage your face. Leave it for 20 minutes, and then wash your face with warm water. Dry your face and then rub an ice cube all over the face as it will close up the pores.
The Potato Rub
Gently rub potato slices on marks and all over your face or alternatively apply some potato juice. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse with water. This will lighten marks.
Lemon + Honey + Almond + Milk powder
Take a spoon each of lemon juice, honey, almond oil and milk powder in a bowl. Mix them all well and spread on your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash. This will lighten and remove acne marks and blemishes. It is also used to lighten skin.
Turmeric + Lemon
Apply a mixture of lemon juice and turmeric once a week to remove your acne marks/blemishes.
Lemon Juice
Simply take a cotton ball, dab it with some lemon juice, then start massaging your acne scars thoroughly. Leave the juice on for about 20 minutes and then wash it away with warm water.
Orange Peels
Oranges are great for skin. Drink orange juice for healthy skin and use its peel for making a face pack. Grind orange peels with some water to make a paste and rub some into your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse with water.
Honey + Yogurt + Lemon
Take an equal quantity of honey, yogurt and lemon juice. Mix them well and apply to marks on the face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and then rinse.
Vinegar + Water
Wash your face with a 1:1 ratio of water and vinegar. This works wonders for your skin and makes your skin clear, mark-free, smooth and supple.
Aloe Vera + Vitamin E
Mix aloe vera gel with a few (two or three) vitamin E capsules and apply this gel on your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse. This will remove blemishes on your face, making it soft and supple.
Cardamom + Lemon
Take cardamom powder and mix it with a few drops of lemon juice. Spread on the mixture over the blemishes and acne marks. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse with water.
Almond + Milk
Soak almonds in milk overnight. The next morning grind them into a fine paste and apply it onto affected areas. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse with water. You can use this as a face mask.
Rose Water + Lemon
Rose water works great for skin. Mix rose water and lemon juice in equal quantities and rub this mixture to the face. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with water.
Strawberries + Vinegar
Make a paste by grinding two strawberries with vinegar and apply this on blemishes/marks. Leave it on overnight and then rinse with water. It works well to remove acne marks/blemishes.

Real Preserved Leopard Tortoise
The leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis) is a large and attractively marked tortoise found in the savannas of eastern and southern Africa, from Sudan to the southern Cape. It is the only member of the genus Stigmochelys, although in the past it was commonly placed in Geochelone. This tortoise is a grazing species that favors semi-arid, thorny to grassland habitats. In both very hot and very cold weather they may dwell in abandoned fox, jackal, or aardvark holes. Leopard tortoises do not dig other than to make nests in which to lay eggs. Given its propensity for grassland habitats, it grazes extensively upon mixed grasses. It also favors succulents and thistles.
