I don't know if you've noticed, but it appears as if we live in a country that is somewhat divided. Okay, that may be an understatement. Upon reflection, I think our country has always been divided over one thing or another yet comes together'ish in unity – albeit brief – when we must. Perhaps division is inevitable in such a diverse country as ours, when different people and groups broker for power in every sector.
I love our country, but we suck at how we talk about our differences. We have surely made progress in so many ways, but I have to think it could have been less bloody (literally in some cases) if we took a different tactic. The different approach I think has everything to do with how we think about ourselves and everybody else. Perhaps if we took an approach to people like that modeled by Jesus, we would see a lot more love in a world where hate seems to show up all too regularly.
Everybody Always, by Bob Goff, is all about helping us become more lovely in all we do to make the world a better place by following Jesus' lead. The book is filled with really great stories from Bob's life experience and adventures, all tied together with quick wit and poignant observations. I found myself laughing out loud, tearing up, on the edge of my seat with some stories, and even filled with righteous anger as I read through the work. And I highlighted a lot of great insights, too, thanks to Goff's ability to turn a phrase.
I really appreciate the gracious view of the human experience that Goff brings. He is realistic while remaining hopeful, understanding the we are all in process. Using this book – his 2nd or 3rd depending on your perspective – he writes about our lives: God continues to rewrite our lives the way I rewrote my book – in beautiful and unexpected ways, knowing the next version of us will usually be better than the previous one. Here are some other notable quotes I highlighted:
Whenever I make my opinions more important than the difficult people God made, I turn wine back to water. I'm trying to resist the bait that darkness offers me every day to trade kindness for rightness.
Only Jesus has the power to change people, and it will be harder for them to see Jesus if their view of Him is blocked by our big opinions.
While we might be known for our opinions, we'll be remembered for our love.
Love isn't something we fall into; love is someone we become.
Burning down others' opinions doesn't make us right. It makes us arsonists.
If you really want one statement that gets at Goff's goal for the living in the Way of Jesus, it might be this: God wants us to grow love in our hearts and then cultivate it by the acre in the world. We'll become in our lives what we do with our love. And to encourage us on our way:
Loving each other is what we were meant to do and how we were made to roll. It's not where we start when we begin following Jesus; it's the beautiful path we travel the rest of our lives. Will it be messy and ambiguous and uncomfortable when we love people the way Jesus said to love them? You bet it will. Will we be misunderstood? Constantly. But extravagant love often means coloring outside the lines and going beyond the norms. Loving the neighbors we don't understand takes work and humility and patience and guts. It means leaving the security of our easy relationships to engage in some tremendously awkward ones.
We will be playing with the theme of this book all summer long. On weeks when we hear from Bob Goff via video, I will give some highlights. Some weeks I will offer a related teaching and will do my normal summary in this blog. Some weeks we will hear from community members who have something to share with us about certain aspects of our collective "everybody" who may get overlooked. I will hope to provide some questions to help you take the series a few steps further. Enjoy!
Stuff that was on this week's insert:
Quotables from Bob Goff
• Let the people in your life know that they are not only invited but welcome.
• You do business with buyers, but you do life with neighbors.
• Loving your neighbors is woven into your DNA and your faith.
• God's message to you is that you don't have to be afraid anymore.
• We are given a peek at what God is doing in the world through the people around us.
• Part of finding your joy in life is helping others find their joy.
• God wants you to love everyone, but what you need to do is start across the street.
Which of the above quotes is especially relevant to you today? Why?
How might you get to know your least known neighbor better this week? What questions can you ask to get to know their story?
During the week…
Matthew 18:1-5 (MSG)
At about the same time, the disciples came to Jesus asking, "Who gets the highest rank in God's kingdom?"
For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me."
There is a lot in Jesus' statement here to chew on. Children in antiquity were to maybe be seen, yet definitely not heard. They did not have a voice, and their rights were limited. They could not survive on their own – they were dependent on their caregivers. They also had a lot to learn – and they knew it! In addition, they had to learn to trust those looking after them, taking their advice and direction.
Questions to think about…
1. What else might this metaphor communicate?
2. What aspect of being childlike in your faith comes easiest to you?
3. What aspect of being childlike in your faith is more difficult? Why?
4. How does being childlike differ from our cultural view of success?
5. How/why does welcoming a child translate into welcoming Jesus?
6. How is all of this related to living in the Spirit of God?
Questions about loving your neighbor…
1. Who do you know that loves their neighbor well?
2. What barriers do you encounter when trying to love difficult people? How might you learn from Jesus about how to deal with them?
3. What does extravagant love look like in your life?
4. What are some ways that you are actively loving your neighbors? How has this involved more than just speaking with them occasionally?

Mono slab monitor won't stay off
I have just obtained an old mono slab and, to protect the monitor from dimming problems, I'd like to turn it off when it's not in use. However, the slab doesn't seem too happy about this, and turns itself back on shortly after powering off :-) Is this a feature (i.e. can I stop it doing this), or is there Something Wrong? ---- Log in as root, open the Preferences application, and turn off the "auto-power on after shutdown." That feature is there for sysadmins who didn't want the users to be able to turn the machine off. ---- I turned that checkbox off already, with no effect. What does ticking that box do, set a flag in a config file somewhere, or do something to the hardware (PRAM or something?)? ---- It sets a hardware register. Try opening up the machine, remove the battery overnight, and then replace it and try again (This will have the side effect of deleting your hardware password, if you set one.)
Using a cheap PC Power Supply for a NeXTstation
I performed the above procedure now twice, but my power supply only lasted 5 mins the last time. Either something else is broken, too, or the little chopper ceramic plate is cracked too much and too uneven now to make proper heat contact. Since Sony, who made the original power supply, decided to use these thick film modules, further repair is made impossible, especially since I could not find any source of these very special replacement parts. Therefore I decided to use a cheap (< DM 100) PC power supply for my NeXTstation. Obvious drawbacks are: -it won't fit into the NeXT housing and has to be placed outside -it does not support the electronic power on/off (but see below!) -less obvious is that the b&w-NeXT needs at least 2A @ -12V, during startup up to 3.3A @ -12V are consumed for a few seconds (for the monitor!), while most PC power supplies only supply 0.3A @ -12V. This does not apply to the color NeXTs, as the huge current on -12V is only consumed by the black&white monitor, which is powered by the NeXT directly (the monitor is also the one part that increases the +12V current to 4A). Before you start, be warned: there are lethal voltages inside a power supply! Only do this if you know what you are doing! I am not liable for any damages you might incur. This is only information for the expert, i.e., a trained TV service repair man. How to increase the -12V current rating So first you have to increase the rating of the power supply at -12V (only for b&w NeXTs, not color NeXTs, where the monitor has its own power supply). Luckily, sometimes the same coil of the transformer is used for +12V and -12V and only the rectifiers are the current limiting parts. I should be very clear here: to increase the 12V current rating for b&w-NeXTs you must have a type that uses the same coil for +12V and -12V!! Otherwise you could ruin your NeXT! And I learned that these (older) PC power supplies are hard to find these days. So be warned, not all PC power supplies are usable! It is hard to give general instructions here since the PC power supplies vary a lot, so you are basically on your own. Replace the -12V diodes with stronger Schottky-type diodes. I used those in a TO220 housing (MBR1030) and mounted them to the wall of the metal housing of the power supply, for cooling. Of course you must mount them isolated as otherwise you would shorten out your new power supply. In Germany the company Bürklin has isolation kits, but I am sure Radio Shack will have them, too. You can also use axial Shottky diodes, e.g., SB530 should do. I my case I also had to bridge a low-Ohm resistor in the -12V path. It is a good idea to ramp up the -12V smoothing capacitor: use a 1000F, 16V capacitor in parallel to whatever is already in there. Next, test your new power supply using lamps of the appropriate rating. Test it at full load (see specs of the old power supply above) and for a long time, I recommend one hour. Measure voltages and currents. If all is fine, you have to cut the power connector from the old power supply, remove the old supply from the NeXT, solder new, strong (1.5mm^2) wires to it (use the hole of the former AC connector to get the wires outside), and connect it to your new supply. Make the wires as short as possible, best less than one meter. For isolation of the soldering joints I recommend "Schrumpfschlauch" (called "shrink wrap" or "heat shrink tubing": black rubber sleeves that you put on the wire, and then shrink down with heat). Watch out for the color coding of the wires: the NeXT uses a different scheme than most PC-type supplies: line NeXT PC +12V red yellow +5V yellow red Do not connect equal colors but equal voltages!! Look at the pinout of the power supply connector. Reset/PowerGood for the NeXT The one thing left is the PowerGood pin of the NeXT. I tried connecting it to the PowerGood outlet of my new power supply but it did not work. The NeXT expects a long (1 sec) low signal here while the PC power supply sets PowerGood to high much too fast. I am still working on this, but I hope that a simple 555-reset timer will be good enough. ...YES, indeed I tested it and it works just fine! Have a look at the circuit diagram (also as GIF if you can't handle tiff!). Adding electronic on/off switching capability Since I was tired of switching the supply on and off manually, I devised a simple circuit with triacs to switch the new power supply on and off electronically from the NeXT power button. Here is the circuit diagram I am using (works like a charm). The MUC3043 is a special zero-crossing opto-triac. This works for 230V AC line voltage, but could also work for 110V (I am not sure about the current rating of the triac). Now I have the same functionality (keyboard power on/off, no manual intervention required) as with the old power supply. I leave my NeXT running almost all the time and the PC-type supply works without any problems now for over a year. Highly recommended!

Women's Health magazine focuses on the emotional and physical process of healthy living. Featuring sections such as fitness, food, weight loss, Sex & Relationships, health, Eat This!, style, and beauty, this magazine focuses on the health of the whole woman. Although the magazine is relatively new, the success it has reached since its inception in 2005 speaks volumes about the magazine's ability to connect with women everywhere.
If you usually head to the gym after work, take heed: Mental exhaustion can make you feel physically exhausted, even when you have plenty of energy, reports a Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise study. When people played a brain-draining computer game before exercising, they reported a subsequent workout as being harder, yet their muscles showed the same activity as they did doing the same workout after an easy mental game. So if you think you can't eke out those last 10 minutes on the rowing machine, remember: You can! [Tweet this motivation!]
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared last week National Women's Health Week (May 14-20th), but in reality we should be taking care of ourselves and have this awareness all year round, right? To kick this month off inspired by women's health, let's talk about health, nutrition, and of course answer your questions from Instagram, Twitter, and email from over this year!
The guidelines also establish ranges (called acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges or AMDR) for fat, carbohydrates and protein, instead of exact percentages of calories or numbers of grams. The report maintains that since all three categories serve as sources of energy, they can, to some extent, substitute for one another in providing calories.
Postmenopausal bleeding is caused by endometrial cancer only 9% of the time, but 91% of women with endometrial cancer have postmenopausal bleeding. For this reason, it's always important that women have any unusual or postmenopausal bleeding checked by a doctor to rule out endometrial cancer. An ultrasound and biopsy are typically recommended to determine what is causing the bleeding. (Locked) More »
Research from Tufts University nutrition scientists shows that Americans are drinking so much soda and sweet drinks that they provide more daily calories than any other food. Obesity rates are higher for people consuming sweet drinks. Also watch for hidden sugar in the foods you eat. Sugar may appear as corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate or malt syrup, among other forms, on package labels.
Good sources of iron include liver, kidneys, red meat, poultry, eggs, peas, legumes, dried fruits and dark, green leafy vegetables. Three ounces of cooked chicken liver contains 7.2 mg of iron; a cup of cooked spinach contains 6.4 mg. Your health care professional will probably recommend iron supplements during pregnancy (probably starting at 30 mg per day).
Anemia can deplete your energy, leaving you feeling weak, exhausted, and out of breath after even minimal physical activity. Iron deficiency can also impact your mood, causing depression-like symptoms such as irritability and difficulty concentrating. While a simple blood test can tell your doctor if you have an iron deficiency, if you're feeling tired and cranky all the time, it's a good idea to examine the amount of iron in your diet.
Calcium: For adult women aged 19-50, the USDA recommended daily allowance is 1,000 mg/day. For women over 50, the recommended daily allowance is 1,200 mg/day. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, leafy green vegetables, certain fish, grains, tofu, cabbage, and summer squash. Your body cannot take in more than 500 mg at any one time and there's no benefit to exceeding the recommended daily amount.
Adopting a plant-based diet could help tip the scales in your favor. A five-year study of 71,751 adults published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that vegetarians tend to be slimmer than meat-eaters even though both groups eat about the same number of calories daily. Researchers say it may be because carnivores consume more fatty acids and fewer weight-loss promoting nutrients, like fiber, than herbivores do. Go green to find out if it works for you.
The tiny gender differences in minerals other than calcium and iron depend on body size. But while the dietary requirements for selenium fit this rule, men may benefit from supplements of about 200 micrograms a day, a level about four times above the RDA. That's because both a clinical trial and an observational study suggest that selenium may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. It's far from proven, but it's something for men to consider.
Lorelei had wanted to try yoga for years but had been making excuses until one morning she woke up and decided to work on doing more of the things she wanted to do. Eventually she started watching short YouTube yoga videos-one day she missed, and that day was when she realized how much yoga affected her not only on a physical level but a mental as well. She began to research, went to a week long intensive festival attending classes and workshops from instructors and physicians, took a college course on yoga, attended more festivals and then accomplished her 60hr Hot teacher training, and then her 200hr Yoga Teacher Certification. She looks forward to sharing what she has learned and excited to continue learning, smiling, and practicing with anyone willing to come play!
While what works best for one woman may not always be the best choice for another, the important thing is to build your dietary choices around your vital nutritional needs. Whether you're looking to improve your energy and mood, combat stress or PMS, boost fertility, enjoy a healthy pregnancy, or ease the symptoms of menopause, these nutrition tips can help you to stay healthy and vibrant throughout your ever-changing life.
The new guidelines encourage eating more nutrient-dense food and beverages. Many of us consume too many calories from solid fats, added sugar and refined grains. The guidelines promote a diet that emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, and nuts and seeds.
If you lose weight suddenly or for unknown reasons, talk to your health care professional immediately. Unexplained weight loss may indicate a serious health condition. And even if it doesn't, simply being underweight is linked to menstrual irregularity, menstrual cessation (and sometimes, as a result, dental problems, such as erosion of the enamel and osteoporosis) and a higher risk of early death.

I realize that none of the above foods have 100% DV of calcium, and while we all should be getting a variety of these foods through the week to help increase the amount of calcium from whole foods, you can also boost it with a supplement- especially if you fall into any of the above categories. I've really been liking the New Chapter's Every Woman's One Daily Multivitamin which has calcium and is rich in vitamin D3. Read more on that in the next question!
Jennifer Ann found her love for fitness 4 years ago through group fitness classes. She has always been passionate about helping others, so becoming a cycle instructor helps fuel that passion. A native of a small northeast Texas town, Jennifer Ann now lives in Bryan with her husband. She works at the Texas A&M Career Center and is a PhD student. When not at the gym or at work, you can find her enjoying a good Netflix binge, spending time with her loved ones, and attending Aggie sporting events! Jennifer is a certified cycling instructor through cycling fusion.
To achieve these goals, cut down on saturated fat from animal products (meat and the skin of poultry, whole-fat dairy products, and certain vegetable foods — palm oil, palm kernel oil, cocoa butter, and coconut). And it's just as important to reduce your consumption of trans fatty acids, the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils found in stick margarine, fried foods, and many commercially baked goods and snack foods.

Iron: Iron, too, remains a critical nutrient. Adult women between the ages of 19 and 50 need 18 mg a day. Pregnant women should shoot for 27 mg a day. "The volume of blood almost doubles when women are pregnant, which dramatically increases the demand for iron," Schwartz tells WebMD. After delivery, lactating women need far less iron, only about 9 mg, because they are no longer menstruating. But as soon as women stop breast-feeding, they should return to 18 mg a day.
Most experts recommend 1,300 mg of calcium a day for girls aged 9 through 19. Natural sources of calcium, such as low-fat dairy products, are the smartest choice, because they also contain vitamin D and protein, both required for calcium absorption. Milk, yogurt, and cheese contribute most of the calcium in our diets. Some vegetables are also good sources, including broccoli, kale, and Chinese cabbage. Many foods are supplemented with calcium, including some brands of orange juice and tofu. The daily intake for Vitamin D is 600 IU per day for most children and healthy adults.
If you're not lifting weights already… what are you waiting for? Let me start by answering a question I get all the time — no, lifting weights isn't just for men, everyone can reap the benefits of muscle growth. Lifting weights stimulates your lean body mass (i.e. muscle) to strengthen you from within and helps maintain healthy bone density (as mentioned earlier). Having more lean body mass – versus more fat mass – provides us with the strength we need to carry out our daily tasks, supports our core and spine, supports hormonal and bone health, AND allows our bodies to burn more calories and burn fat even while sitting. Resistance training can help decrease risks for osteoporosis, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity, aches and pains, and lastly arthritis. It also helps us mentally since weight training and working out, in general, makes us feel good thanks to all those endorphins that are released when your workout. You also get the added benefit of helping our metabolism, getting stronger, building muscle, and decreasing body fat when paired with well-balanced nutrition!
Good sources of iron include liver, kidneys, red meat, poultry, eggs, peas, legumes, dried fruits and dark, green leafy vegetables. Three ounces of cooked chicken liver contains 7.2 mg of iron; a cup of cooked spinach contains 6.4 mg. Your health care professional will probably recommend iron supplements during pregnancy (probably starting at 30 mg per day).

Carbohydrates should provide 45%–65% of your daily calories. Most of those calories should come from the complex carbohydrates in high-fiber and unrefined foods, such as bran cereal and other whole-grain products, brown rice, beans and other legumes, and many fruits and vegetables. These carbohydrates are digested and absorbed slowly, so they raise the blood sugar gradually and don't trigger a large release of insulin. People who eat lots of these foods have higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels and a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. A good amount of soluble fiber in the diet lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and high-fiber diets reduce the risk of intestinal disorders ranging from constipation and diverticulosis to hemorrhoids. Some studies have shown that fiber may help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Men need more fiber than women: 38 vs. 25 grams a day before the age of 50 and 30 vs. 21 grams a day thereafter.
Calcium may even be harmful for men, at least in large amounts. The worry is prostate cancer, and two Harvard studies have raised the alarm. In 1998, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study found that a high consumption of calcium from food or supplements was linked to an increased risk of advanced prostate cancer. The risk was greatest in men who got more than 2,000 mg a day. More recently, the U.S. Physicians' Health Study reported that a high consumption of calcium from dairy products appeared to increase a man's risk of prostate cancer by up to 37%. A study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle also found a link between calcium and advanced prostate cancer.
Anemia can deplete your energy, leaving you feeling weak, exhausted, and out of breath after even minimal physical activity. Iron deficiency can also impact your mood, causing depression-like symptoms such as irritability and difficulty concentrating. While a simple blood test can tell your doctor if you have an iron deficiency, if you're feeling tired and cranky all the time, it's a good idea to examine the amount of iron in your diet.
As the science of nutrition continually evolves, researchers recognize that nutrients needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle must be tailored to the individual for maximum effectiveness. Recognizing that people are not all alike and that one size does not fit all when it comes to planning and achieving a healthful diet, the Institute of Medicine's dietary guidelines, titled "Dietary Reference Intakes for Macronutrients," stress the importance of balancing diet with exercise and recommends total calories based on an individual's height, weight and gender for each of four different levels of physical activity.
Trying to balance the demands of family and work or school—and coping with media pressure to look and eat a certain way—can make it difficult for any woman to maintain a healthy diet. But the right food can not only support your mood, boost your energy, and help you maintain a healthy weight, it can also be a huge support through the different stages in a woman's life. Healthy food can help reduce PMS, boost fertility, make pregnancy and nursing easier, ease symptoms of menopause, and keep your bones strong. Whatever your age or situation, committing to a healthy, nutritious diet will help you look and feel your best and get the most out of life.
Calcium: "Getting enough calcium is important for all ages, but it's particularly important during adolescence and early adulthood, when bones are absorbing calcium," says Heather Schwartz, MS, RD, a medical nutrition therapist at Stanford University Hospital and Clinics. Calcium and vitamin D are often paired in fortified foods such as milk. The reason: The body needs D in order to absorb calcium.
Among other things, you need calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong as you age, regulate the heart's rhythm, and ensure your nervous system functions properly. Calcium deficiency can lead to, or exacerbate, mood problems such as irritability, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your body will take calcium from your bones to ensure normal cell function, which can lead to weakened bones or osteoporosis. Women are at a greater risk than men of developing osteoporosis, so it's important to get plenty of calcium, in combination with magnesium and vitamin D, to support your bone health.

Women who have very low levels of sunlight exposure or have naturally very dark skin are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. Those affected may include women who cover most of their body when outdoors, shift workers, those who are unable to regularly get out of their house or women in residential care. Women who have certain medical conditions or are on some medications may also be affected.
You can get calcium from dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese, canned fish with soft bones (sardines, anchovies and salmon; bones must be consumed to get the benefit of calcium), dark-green leafy vegetables (such as kale, mustard greens and turnip greens) and even tofu (if it's processed with calcium sulfate). Some foods are calcium-fortified; that is, they contain additional calcium. Examples include orange juice, certain cereals, soy milk and other breakfast foods. Talk to your health care professional about whether you should take calcium supplements if you don't think you're getting enough calcium from food sources.
Maintaining a healthy weight is important piece of the puzzle to achieve good health. A healthy weight can be determined using the body mass index charts (see web source below). If you find you are overweight or obese, weight loss may be beneficial for you. Before you begin any weight loss efforts, consult with your medical provider and/or consult a registered dietitian to create a weight loss plan. If you are underweight, consult a medical provider to assess your weight status.
MPOWER Fitness was started with the goal of encouraging, inspiring and motivating people in a way that equips them to do anything they set their minds to do. We started as a small group of 15 in an extra room at a friend's house on May 1st, 2015. We quickly outgrew that space and had to move our training to a local park. I soon realized that there were more and more people that needed this idea of teaching movement within exercise that transferred over into our daily movement in life. I knew immediately who would be able to help me with this goal. Looking to move back to the BCS area, I called my now head trainer, Andrew Ramirez, and asked him to join me on this very risky, yet exciting journey. Andrew agreed, and with the help of some close friends, MPOWER Fitness was born. In just 6 short months, we went from exercising in parks to opening our doors November 1, 2015. With some incredible employees, friends and family by my side, we have created an environment where people not only feel safe but are being taught how to "move" properly. The instruction taught inside MPOWER Fitness is based upon exaggerated movements that mimic everyday life. We believe that simple equipment yields simple movement and our philosophy is such that a strong mind is the prerequisite for a strong body.
The Center for Young Women's Health (CYWH) is a collaboration between the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and the Division of Gynecology at Boston Children's Hospital. The Center is an educational entity that exists to provide teen girls and young women with carefully researched health information, health education programs, and conferences.
The guidelines also establish ranges (called acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges or AMDR) for fat, carbohydrates and protein, instead of exact percentages of calories or numbers of grams. The report maintains that since all three categories serve as sources of energy, they can, to some extent, substitute for one another in providing calories.

US firm Seagate creates 25 new jobs in a £57m boost to Derry
Data storage specialist Seagate, one of the north-west's biggest employers, has announced an investment of £57.5m and the creation of 25 jobs in its Londonderry plant.
The US company's investment of £47.4m is being supported by economic development agency Invest NI, which has offered support of £9.95m.
Seagate has operated in the north-west for 25 years, with an estimated £1bn capital investment over that period.
The company said the latest funding will be focused on enabling further research and development at the Springtown site in nanophotonics, a technique of electrical engineering.
Nanophotonics is the generation and manipulation of tiny points of light.
Seagate is expected to use nanophotonics to increase the capacity of its disc drives - though the company said it could not disclose any further detail.
According to Seagate, the investment will seal the position of the plant in Derry "as a leader in world class technology innovation".
Please log in or register with belfasttelegraph.co.uk for free access to this article.
It will also create 25 highly skilled new jobs, bringing the workforce to 1,400.
Dave Mosley, chief executive of Seagate Technology, Noel Lavery, the top official at the Department for the Economy, and Jeremy Fitch, executive director at Invest NI, made the announcement at the Seagate Springtown site yesterday.
Mr Mosley said: "Technology innovation is the cornerstone of our success and the industry-leading innovation delivered by our facility in Springtown has been at the heart of our business strategy for the last 25 years.
"Today's investment extends a successful, collaborative partnership with Invest NI.
"It will further strengthen our ability to deliver customer-centric technology leadership for the data-driven future of the global economy."
Jeremy Fitch, executive director at Invest NI, said: "Seagate first came to Northern Ireland in 1994, investing £50m and creating 500 new jobs.
"Fast forward 25 years and the facility now employs 1,400 people and it is estimated that the company has invested in excess of £1bn in capital here.
"Supporting the company along the way has been Invest NI, with every £1 of our support contributing to £4 investment in the local economy.
"We are delighted to be able to offer support towards this latest project which will see 120 highly skilled researchers here at Springtown, including 25 new recruits, play a major role in the development of ground-breaking new technology."
Mr Lavery, Permanent Secretary at the Department for the Economy, said there had been "effective collaboration between Invest NI and Seagate" which had boosted the north-west and wider economy by bringing investment and well-paid jobs.

49ers install Tomsula as head coach
The San Francisco 49ers promoted Jim Tomsula to the head coaching position on Wednesday, ending their search for a replacement for Jim Harbaugh.
Tomsula was promoted from his previous position as defensive line coach, which he held from 2007, while the 46-year-old had also previously served as interim head coach in 2010 before Harbaugh was given the job.
In his one game in charge, Tomsula led San Francisco to a 38-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Harbaugh quit the 49ers in December after they failed to make the NFL play-offs, taking up a multi-million dollar deal with the University of Michigan.
San Francisco CEO Jed York claimed on Wednesday that the 49ers had settled on Tomsula as the franchise's 19th coach after a "thorough" process.
"After conducting a thorough coaching search, and meeting with a number of outstanding candidates, Jim Tomsula clearly is the right man to lead this team," York said in a statement on the 49ers' website.
"Jim is a great teacher and a tremendous mentor who conducts himself with great class and integrity."
The 49ers general manager Trent Baalke added: "Our organization is excited to have Jim Tomsula leading this football team.
"We have had the privilege of working alongside Jim for the past eight seasons. He is a proven leader, teacher and mentor, and we look forward to seeing him apply his craft and vision to our team."
Tomsula has never held a head coach position in the NFL before, having joined the 49ers after working for four separate teams in NFL Europe.
He led the Rhein Fire in 2006, while he held various defensive coaching positions with the England Monarchs, Scottish Claymores and Berlin Thunder.
Tomsula will be officially unveiled as the 49ers new boss on Thursday.

Miami Beach
Could granny flats help Miami Beach affordable housing crunch? City wants to find out
Look behind the houses in some Miami Beach neighborhoods and you'll find guest houses and granny flats tucked away in the backyard.
But apart from hosting visiting relatives, the accessory dwellings aren't much use to Miami Beach homeowners because they can't be legally rented.
That could soon change. Miami Beach commissioners gave initial approval Wednesday to allowing homeowners to rent their accessory dwellings for more than six months at a time. Elected officials hope the move will provide new affordable housing options for low- and middle-income renters and extra income for homeowners.
"This is right on so many levels. If we're talking about affordable, work-force housing this is one way of addressing it," said Commissioner Ricky Arriola, who sponsored the proposal. "If we want to help create some economic vitality in these older homes, particularly for the older couples that may be living in them who don't have the economic means anymore," he added.
The proposed law would allow homeowners to rent existing accessory dwellings in all single-family neighborhoods and to build new ones as long as they meet certain size requirements. The dwellings can be attached or detached from the main house, but they have to be on the same property. The city's planning department defines the units as "small living units" with their own kitchen and bathroom.
Miami Beach currently has approximately 320 single-family lots with either two units or additional living quarters, according to information from the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser's geographic information system, which was shared by a city spokeswoman.
Silvia Winitzky, a Bayshore homeowner with a two-story guest house in her backyard, told the Miami Herald that the proposal would be a win-win for the city.
Winitzky, who is in her early 60s, said that being able to rent out her guest house would provide helpful supplemental income now that she's nearing retirement. She said she's seen neighbors sell their homes and move away from Miami Beach because of the island's high cost of living.
Accessory dwellings would also provide much needed affordable housing options for renters, Winitzky added. "What better way, for people who do have those homes, than to be able to rent them to our police and our nurses and our teachers?" she said.
Sarah Leddick, a Mid-Beach resident who sits on the city's affordable housing advisory committee, said the committee wholeheartedly supports the idea.
"We're kind of in a crisis right now in Miami Beach because it's become so expensive that it's hard for the middle class to stay here," she said. "It's going to become a ghost town," Leddick added, referring to the practice of wealthy investors snapping up Beach properties they don't plan to occupy. "We need to be able to preserve the middle class by allowing this affordable housing."
Although Leddick's home doesn't have an accessory dwelling, she said she would consider building one if the city allows them to be rented.
But some residents worry that allowing homeowners to rent out their guest houses could create more opportunities for illegal short-term rentals, said Commissioner Joy Malakoff.
"Neighborhood associations evidently just got wind of it now and some of them have concerns about their neighbors now having units on their property where they will be renting them and who's going to make sure it's really six months and a day as opposed to becoming short-term rentals," Malakoff said.
Miami Beach currently prohibits rentals of six months or less in most residential areas and punishes violators with hefty fines that start at $20,000. Despite the steep fines, however, a thriving short-term rental market persists.
The proposed law would only allow homeowners to rent accessory dwellings if they're living in the main house, which supporters say will deter residents from renting out their extra space to partyers.
"If this is your home and you're going to rent short-term for someone to come to the back of your house, you're not going to rent to parties," Winitzky said.
Elected officials unanimously approved the idea Wednesday, but it still has to come back to the commission for a final vote next month.
Accessory dwellings were a popular fixture of single-family homes built in the early 1900s, according to a city memo on the topic, but cities started to prohibit them after World War II.
As housing costs have increased in many urban areas, however, cities are once again allowing homeowners to build accessory dwellings. Seattle, Portland, Austin and Minneapolis allow accessory dwellings, according to the memo, and Miami allows homeowners to build and rent the units in some neighborhoods.
Florida law permits accessory dwellings in cities where the local government has identified a shortage of affordable rentals. In order to obtain a building permit for an accessory dwelling, the state statute requires homeowners to sign an affidavit stating that they plan to rent the unit to a "low-income" or "moderate-income" person at an affordable rate. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation defines an affordable rate in Miami-Dade County as up to $1,771 for a one-bedroom unit.

A green sea turtle in Kinmen has been excreting plastic bags, which it mistook for seaweed, every day since it was discovered on July 26, the Kinmen County Government said on Wednesday.
The turtle was found in Liaoluo Port and a blood test revealed that it had elevated creatinine levels, which researchers suspect was caused by a boat striking its shell, the county government said.
Previous records show that an average of one green sea turtle — most of the time dead — is discovered in Kinmen each year, it said, adding that in a rare case last year, a live one was found.
However, between July 26 and Tuesday, the coast guard and local people found three injured green sea turtles in the area, it said.
A second green sea turtle was found near the Tashan Power Plant on July 27, while the third was found in Liaoluo Port on Tuesday, the county government said.
Blood tests from the second and third turtles showed higher-than-normal liver enzyme levels, which might have been caused by schistosoma, also known as snail fever, it said.
The two turtles showed signs of malnutrition and had bite marks on their flippers, it said, adding that they were both constipated and one of them on Wednesday excreted a fishing net.
After receiving treatment, the three green sea turtles were in a stable condition, and are temporarily being sheltered at the county's Fisheries Research Institute, it said.
This incident shows that waste is severely threatening the survival of marine life, it said.
The county government urged the public to protect the environment and report unusual sea turtle activity.

Synopsis by Mark Deming
In 1962, Jamaica won its independence from the United Kingdom, and the island nation, which had long struggled with poverty, attempted to use its agricultural resources in order to create a sound economic base. As Jamaica's financial problems grew more severe with time, prime minister Michael Manley struck a deal in 1977 with a consortium of economic institutions through the International Monetary Fund, who would loan money to the nation in exchange for removal of trade restrictions and subsidized exports. Twenty-five years later, most Jamaicans would agree that the deal drove a stake through the island's agricultural and industrial economy; imports from America have ruined the island's dairy industry, interference from growers and merchants in the United States and Latin America have effectively ended the growing of onions, bananas, carrots, and potatoes as cash crops, the value of the Jamaican dollar has plummeted, and the island is now seven billion dollars in debt to the IMF, with interest driving that figure higher each day. Filmmaker Stephanie Black examines the sad state of Jamaica's economy in the face of "free trade" in the global economy in the documentary Life + Debt, which includes interviews with Michael Manley and IMF director Stanley Fischer; the Jamaica Kincaid novel A Small Place provides some of the text for the film's narration.

Cray plans to cut 65 jobs, eliminating 8 percent of its staff by March 31, the supercomputer specialist disclosed in a regulatory filing after it announced the plan to employees on Dec. 12. The cuts will chiefly affect international sales, service and engineering personnel in Cray's offices in Burnaby, Canada--the former headquarters of a company called OctigaBay that Cray acquired in 2004--with the rest in Europe, Cray said. Restructuring costs will range between $500,000 and $3 million, depending on how many employees take a voluntary severance package, but cost savings will be about $7 million per year, Cray said.
The restructuring will help streamline the company's already announced plan to merge its current XD1 products developed by OctigaBay with the larger XT3 systems, the basis for the Red Storm supercomputer at Sandia National Laboratories. The XD1 and XT3 use Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron processor.

LAFAYETTE — A Ouachita Parish woman is suing two credit reporting agencies, alleging unlawful credit reporting practices.
Jana Theresa Chowns filed a lawsuit May 17 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against TransUnion LLC and Experian information Solutions Inc., alleging they failed to comply with the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
According to the complaint, Chowns' credit score has been negatively affected causing her to suffer great physical, emotional and mental pain, and anguish. The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to implement or follow reasonable procedures to prevent any debt from being reported beyond the statutory period, reported and published credit information that is old and obsolete and misrepresented her payment history.
Chowns seeks a trial by jury, compensation for all damages, reasonable attorney fees, legal costs and other relief as is deemed proper. She is represented by attorney Jonathan F. Raburn of Baton Rouge.
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana Case number 3:16-cv-00685

Craniosynostosis Contractures Cleft
Type of disease: Rare conditions
Craniosynotosis – Contractures – Cleft is a rare disorder characterized by early fusion of the skull bones, abnormal shortening of muscles or joints, and an opening in the roof of the mouth. Early fusion of the skull bones can lead to problems with brain development. Hence, individuals with this disorder often may develop intellectual disability. Depending on which muscles or joints are abnormally shortened, individuals may have a variety of problems performing basic tasks, such as walking and sitting. Additionally, the mouth opening can cause eating as well as breathing problems.Individual may also have problems with reasoning and solving problems, as well as performing day-to-day tasks. The disorder is often diagnosed early in childhood, since the symptoms are very apparent. Slow mastering of basic tasks, and having difficulty remembering things may also suggest this disorder in children. Treatment is developed on a case-by-case basis and depends on the specific needs of the patient. Doctors may suggest patients undergo surgery to close the mouth opening and fix the joint and muscle problems. Physical therapists may also create exercise plans to help individuals strengthen their muscles. Doctors seek help from various therapists and community services to provide support and care for families affected by intellectual disability.

Bilstein Dampers and a 2" lift
Need to know what's broken and maybe how to fix it ? Post here

Bilstein Dampers and a 2" lift
I'm considering getting some Bilstein dampers for my 88" coil-sprung 300Tdi hybrid. I'm using red and white springs all round which gives me around 2" of lift. Bilstein don't do a +2" spring, does anyone have any experience of using these dampers with raised suspension?

Re: Bilstein Dampers and a 2" lift
Back is easy just run -2 mounts (to be honest unless you are really hammering it you won't notice a difference ), front ideally you want -1 mounts or shorten your turrets but same as the back you won't have any problems , fit em and don't worry about it , the big issues come if you are using lowered springs and the shockers bottom out (red whites are RR rear springs anyway and are standard length but slightly longer free length , I run standard length shockers on my motor btw

This is a one week poll. You must view the post to see the poll.
Welcome to the After Dark group
Since the After Dark group (while private) still shows the name that we use on FB I fear that many are not ready to open up and really discussing topics that could be worth while.
To help with this, I would like to open my website up for these discussions. What is the difference? Well You can get a free account with IntenseDebate using whatever username (alias) that you wish.
I can also test accounts built just for use here, but that would mean that you would have to trust me enough to create the username for you.
If you are game just follow this link:
I am going to create another post where you can add comments with topics that you would like to discuss. If you have posts that you would like me to publish for you, you can email them to me and I can post them using whatever by line that you wish.
Artificial Intelligence and Sex
A couple of times a day as part of my job, I flip through my Twitter feed looking for the emergence of cyber security threats. Sometimes, some of the entertainment/technology feeds bring some fun topics.
It is expected that very soon, 2025 I think, we will be faced with a series or ethical and legal dilemmas.
We are about to enter an age that will include robotic involved sex.
Yes, we current;y have a phenomenal amount of toys, photos, videos, etc. There are those that have opted to include console games for their sexual pleasure as well.
Now, as artificial intelligence, cyberskin, and robotics march down this road, how long will it be before we will have to look at legal issues?
Currently in Washington, there are two or more parties; one the prostitute, and the john(s). The johns being the simple customer of the prostitute, fine. The prostitute must be a person to meet the other part of the crime. So if the pimp is offering up a bevy of robotic beauties, where is the crime? The viable objection to prostitution has always been the victimization of the sex worker. Once you take the person out of the equation, what do you have? Just the moral aspect of a married person? what is they are single?
To criminalize the act, you would have to make an AI robotic a person. That seems legally almost as intriguing as the ethical/moral aspects.
Are we ready to give computerized devices rights?
Ashley Madison – really?
Since the media is saturated, why not add my two cents worth?
As a cyber security professional I may view things a little differently.
So we have a site (others as well) that caters to cheating. Is it a shock? It shouldn't be, there are sites for pretty much everything.
As you probably already have gathered via that media saturation as the world things that this is FAR more important than any other world issue a site that is devoted to aiding people in cheating on those that they love. That site was broken into OR had an insider blow the whistle on the whole shebang. At this point there are some clues that lead us to believe that the breach revealed far too much to be the result of a break in. That the data is too complete.
so we have:
- a breech of security
The breach may have been an inside job, so that is an interesting series of bit in my feeds. (@Pissed0ffPirate (that is a zero) if you want to follow me on Twitter)
- release of confidential material
We get to see a list of people who are not so smart. This list has people who never thought of the worst, are naive, or just plain dumb. We are seeing claims of those who claim that they were set up. I suppose that it is possible that they could have been, only the individual would know the truth.
- suicides
As of today, I am aware of three suicides being attributed to the release of the data. Is this worth ending one's life? (I think I have a suicide post around here somewhere) Why not either fix your relationship or move on and try for a new one?
- lawsuits
We are seeing legal actions already starting. I don't know how many of these will remain individual actions or if they will be forced into one or a few class action lawsuits.
- sextortion
For those that made the decision to wander this path, and someone tries to extort or blackmail you… just fess up. Your spouse/significant other is going to find out. No doubt about it. Just step up and work through it. (you may have to end it, but at least you don't have the stress or financial losses)
- further relationship issues
At some point down the road, there will be studies and surveys that will show how many relationship and families were affected by this, but right now it is too early to tell.
- potential FTC action
With Ashley Madison defrauding it's clients with fake female accounts and poor cyber security practices will the FTC have a field day with their sorry asses?
Since the courts have just given the FTC that authority, I am expecting tremendous scrutiny and fines.
- issues I have forgotten or did not think of
some of the data is showing 20 million guys checked their Ashley Madison email, but only 1492 women did… those are some really slim odds of getting tail. that tail also has to be really tired and like tossing that hot dog down a hallway. With the site creating a ton of bogus accounts to give the semblance of women to meet, it seems like plain fraud and dirty pool. Remember that I see quite a bit of spam for other sites and the names and locations change for the women's images. We know that there have been cases where pictures of women have been harvested from the web/facebook and used by these types of sites.
As a man, I have a pretty strong belief that any near average or better woman that would like to spend some time between the sheets (or on/in a car, stairwell, rooftop, back yard, wherever) with a man, all they need to do is let it be known and they could even take auditions if they wanted.
Erect Nipples – what do you think ladies?
Women know very well that many of us men get entranced by erect nipples. We become very easily distracted, have a difficult time maintaining our train of thought.
The wonderbra and other padded bras like that really kill the joys of a chilly day.
Nothing new there right?
My question is geared to for the ladies.
Do you also have this distraction? Are you enticed by a man (or woman if that is your preference) who has hard nipples pressing through their shirt?
While I have the laddies' attention, are you intentionally hiding those lovely nipples from us?
Go Topless or Not?
Okay, this last Sunday was a day of Go Topless protests around the world.
I have heard women of all ages, mid teens to well matured ladies, question why men (and many women for that matter) find breasts attractive.
It is a good question, one that I do not have an answer for. I will admit that I am not that concerned why.
The ladies' argument was that they are just fatty tissue and no big deal.
Now if it is that nonchalant then why is the double standard in place to allow men to go topless but not women.
As we push further and further into equality, then why is this still an issue?
The only rationale that makes sense to me for the objection is low female.
What do you think? what other reasons can you think of to deny equality?
Perhaps you have arguments for equality…
Can homosexuality be an adaptive behavior?
Before I start, this is not a debate on being gay as a choice or birth in general. This is a discussion on a specific scenario.
I was in the "outdoors research center" at the office with a friend was relaying a situation with a relative.
The relative (let's call her Lisa for simplicity) is a big girl.
She is also young, a minor in fact and she likes boys.
The downside is that her perception, real or not, is that her weight leaves her unattractive to those boys.
In this process of desire and lack of reciprocation she has decided that she is lesbian, bi-sexual at least.
This brought me to wonder if and how often people (I suspect predominantly women) choose by being adaptive to be gay.
While I am supportive of the community, I am not a member so I am quite a bit out of the loop. Perhaps some of our friends may have more insight to share on this.
Do you know people in this situation? (are YOU in a similar situation?)
Do they seem happy in general or does there seem to be a longing to spend their time and intimacy with someone of the opposite gender.
Has anyone seen any studies on this aspect of homosexuality?
Gay Marriage; States rights, federal rights, or human rights
By Eyes_open
As the Supreme Court takes on the issue of California's Proposition 8, and the federal DOMA, and Jeb Bush weighs in that he believes marriage should be a states rights issue, where do you stand on the issue of same-sex marriage, and why. Is it a matter that should be left to each state, should the federal government be involved and to what degree. Or is this a constitutional violation of civil rights, placing it in the hands of the Supreme Court.
Childhood sexuality – what is abnormal at four and five?
There is a case about a pre-school in California being shut down for lack of supervision.
Okay I get that part, we must have our children watched properly.
Let's get something out there right off the bat… I am not advocating sexual abuse, let alone abusing kids. This disussion or more on sexuality in general.
Part of what I don't get, and I hope that someone among us is better trained to asner my other questions, is the sexual aspects that were in play.
These four and five year old children woudl engage in frequent oral sex.
People are freaking out over it and I just want a better understanding.
Our culture has expectations on when one is old enough to start engaging in sexual encounters.
My education in psycology is limited to my Psych 101 class, anything beyond that is just general readon and observation. So, I am NOT qualified to do more an theorize about the situation.
We know that humans are sexual creatures. Sexuality starts long before adults want it to. Masturbation begins in diapers. We expect (or dream for) our daughters to be virginal until marriage in their 20-30's.
As I read ABC's article, they mentioned how these kids are being sexualized too early and "That their lives will be ruined in many ways." Really? ruined? No, the parents are over-reacting, if the kids were being urged to engage in these behaviors, or were being shown how, I would have a much different stance on this.
"During nap time, the aides would be sleeping and the children would have been molesting each other during this time." When it is age appropriate (referring to the difference in age between the parties, not the behavior itself) is it really molesting? Since it sounds like it was all consensual within the group. We of course have laws that dictate when consent can apply. My discussion here is more on the kids themselves. They are in an innocent age, and they do not know shame yet. They have not been indoctinated in what is acceptable and what is not yet. They are pure little humans.
WHile we want to guide them out of this behavior, and to follow our social expectations, is this situation getting blown (forgive the inintentional pun please) way out of proportion.
I would really appreciate the input of more qualified individuals in the areas of child psycology and early human development/education to bring more persppective on this. I would also like to hear from preschool educators on how often they have to redirect kids for trying to explore in this direction.
Major over-reaction. Alot of flap about 50 Shades of Grey
Sometimes the headlines yield some odd bits, but can dovetail into a better bigger discussion.
How many in our group and around have read 50 Shades? I know Gigglez has.
At the beginning it looked like a case of bad publicity was good publicity. It seemed as though the books would have slid quietly under the radar had the conservative crowd just let it all go.
As usual we saw a big to-do made. Gigglez seemed to follow Stephen King's philosophy on the series. King said that if they want to ban a book, the first thing you should do is go read the book and find out what they are wanting to prevent you from reading. She whipped through the trilogy in no time (thank you Nook).
This series has outsold Harry Potter, to be the fastest selling paperback of all time.
I have heard and seen references to the trilogy as it is the long sought after owners manual for women.
This book is on my list of "to-read's".
Gigglez and I took a walkabout in Portland, and happened to give ourselves a 50 Shades tour. several points of interest form the books. Spartacus had a list of goodies from the books with quotes of their use. There appears to be a shortage of Ben Wa balls and other tool/toys.
I am not sure if I agree with Time listing E. L. James as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World". That seems a bit of a reach. But welcome to mommy-porn, perhaps it IS that influential after all.
What have you been seeing on the 50 Shades subject? Has it opened your eyes to different views, given you more reason to play differently?
Oh not to mention what started this post…
Loser seems to have gotten a bit upset… I wonder if he really KNEW anything about the series or not, or is he just another repressed fuqtard. I cannot see how that reaction is anywhere near reason. It did not sound like she left him over it though. Dump his stupid ass lady!
