text: Darkstone 12 Report post Posted December 2, 2018 I was obsessed with novelty songs when I was little. My Uncle made me a mix tape when I was about five. Here's a couple I remember. It's funny how, although this version of "They're coming to take me away" by the "Butcher Babies" is much heavier, but nowhere near as creepy or disturbing as the original. That song used to scare the shit out of when I was a kid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who's serious about graphic design has serious tools. In fact, most of us have multiple tools that have similar functions, but different features, because, you know, different strokes for different Mac folks.
One such function that comes to mind is Mac screen captures. For the budget minded, OS X's built-in Grab app works acceptably, but there are a dozen or so other screen capture tools that range from free to $100. Here's one I use for serious work.
Snag It With SnagIt
Sometimes all you need is to grab the Mac's entire screen or an app window. The built-in OS X tools (keyboard shortcuts) work fine and so does Grab (point and click). Other times you'll need screen elements rearranged, annotated, with instructions to create on-the-fly but first rate tutorials.
For those instances I tend to rely on SnagIt, the baby brother to the popular (and feature laden, and expensive, and complicated) Camtasia.
There are certain screen capture features than go beyond the mundane entire screen, region, app window. SnagIt grabs everything from a scrolling window, from any webpage (regardless of how long the text).
There are even options to capture application drop down and flyout menus. Hover over the menu. Click. Perfect for onscreen tutorials and presentations.
Of course, SnagIt excels at standard capture options, including annotations and markup tools; shapes and arrows that are easily dropped onto any screen capture.
SnagIt also does screen recordings so you won't need to use QuickTime or another Mac screen video capture tool. There's no easier way to create screen videos for reviews, presentations, or tutorials, and they're easily enhanced and then shared to YouTube or Facebook or Screencast.com as MP4 movies.
Anyone who knows what screen captures can do for graphics, tutorials, or presentations also knows the inherent problems with image snapshot management. It's built in to SnagIt so recent grabs are easily available.
It may seems as if SnagIt is loaded with screen capture features, and while that's true when compared to the free or nominally priced capture tools, it's actually half the price of big brother Camtasia which also features iMovie-like video editing options. If I could give more than five stars for the ease of use, workflow layout, features list, and value (relative to free screen capture tools or Camtasia), I would.

This Business Foundations Class will give you the foundation you will need to begin your journey to Royal Crown Diamond. It truly is fun and exciting to be able to provide for yourself, your family, and the people and causes you hold dear while doing something you love, something with real purpose. We will be covering the basics to ensure you have a strong foundation on which to build. Something we hear quite often is that people want to wait to post or share about their oils until they are familiar with everything or until they know a lot more. Keep in mind that there is always something new to learn, even those who have been using and sharing Young Living for twenty years learn something new all the time. No one knows all of it, so there's no sense in waiting until you "know it all."
Business Foundations is a basic overview of the touch points you will need to know without going into a lot of detail which will help you avoid overwhelm. More in-depth information is found in the "Dream. Grow. Inspire." class. The absolute most important foundation to learn and become intimate with is the Three Pillars, the first lesson in this class. Here we will explain what the Three Pillars are. More information on the three pillars will be covered in multiple posts in our Sharing Blog. The rest of the sections in this class go over the technical details many people ask along the way. Remember, you can always come back and reference the information as often as you want. Please don't feel like you need to memorize it, just get familiar with it.

Custom: Hi Lisa. I love your videos and think you're one of the hottest, sexiest damn women I've ever seen. With that said, I would love to order a 10 minute custom video from you. It would be a bit of a homewrecker scenario with a heavy dose of ass and body worship. - You're my girlfriend's super hot friend who comes over all the time to our apartment to work out with her. my relationship with my girlfriend is pretty serious, you know I'm devoted to her, but you see my weakness, this time she's gone out to get something and left us alone. You're standing, wearing a hot bodysuit and legwarmers, stretching your arms in the air, displaying that glorious, tight ass and you notice me staring. you smile and tell me that anytime i've been in the same room, you've noticed me checking you out and the bulge in my pants. you know it must be hard for me to face that kind of temptation everytime you're over. you tell me I could do better than my girlfriend and that I deserve better than her. you ask me if she pleases me...."yeah, well not like I could" "this body is on a whole other level compared to hers". you begin to tease your amazing body in that bodysuit and notice me sweating it out "don't fight those urges, just grab your cock and stroke to me, it's ok" you get me worked up and let me cum for you. after which you ask how that felt "amazing, right? Don't worry about that intense feeling of guilt, it will pass with time" and give a little chuckle. Again, I love your ass most of all, but please try to show your whole body in this outfit. Your boobs will look magnificent beneath that fabric and you have those buttons to play with :) If you permit the use of names, could you please call me Jason? Thanks, Lisa.

Goddess Victoria came to her favorite club after a long time. Now she demands the full service of her leather boots, socks and feet. The first thing for the slave to do is to take care of her soles and her feet. Victoria very strictly guides him through the process. When he finishes the boots it's time to sniff her socks and massage and lick her feet.

The Definitive All-Time 'MTV Challenge' Power Rankings - Women
Ed. note: Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to look around. Maybe check out the latest #RIMCAST 'Bachelorette' recap episode, if you're in to that sort of thing.
With Sarah and Bananas heading to their predictable championship this week on The Challenge: Rivals III, Sarah has undoubtedly proven herself to be among the most accomplished Challenge competitors of all time. Last week, we ranked the guys. Now we've settled on the definitive list of female competitors — Sarah included.
MTV's The Challenge All-Time Rankings (Women)
Honorable mention: Rachel Robinson
Road Rules: Campus Crawl
Two championships, $135,555 career earnings
One of the most in-shape competitors in history. Rachel was always a force to be reckoned with in any Challenge house. Rachel competed in an astounding seven Challenges, winning two.
Honorable mention: Jodi Weatherton
Road Rules: X-Treme
Two championships, $176,667 career earnings
Jodi was an impressive athlete who came in, won a bunch of money, and rode off into the sunset. Jodi was extremely likeable and took advantage of that, coasting to two drama-free championships. Jodi only competed in three Challenge seasons over the span of two years, which keeps her out of our top five.
Honorable mention: Veronica Portillo
Road Rules: Semester at Sea
Three championships, $80,309 career earnings
"WHAT!? Veronica is tied for the most championships of all time. What's the deal here? Your list is TRASH and YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT about the Challenges."
First off, chill out for a second. Let Dr. AB take yah through a little Challenge history. When talking about Veronica I ask that you please adjust your monitor to black and white and make sure the picture is all grainy and not in HD.
Veronica comes from a completely different era of The Challenge. Her first "competition" was in the year 2000 — the olden days. Back then, Challenges were more about having a good time and doing GNARLY stuff. They didn't involve any sort of elimination, TJ wasn't around to ridicule people who quit, and everybody left a winner!* Yes, Veronica did win three Challenges, and for that I applaud her and put her on this list of honorable mentions. However, ranking Veronica in the top five would be like claiming some 1940's dude was the best basketball player of all time, even though he only played against short white guys. It's just a different game, folks.
*Ex: Veronica only competed in 2 eliminations in 8 seasons of "competing" in Challenges.
Ed. note: When Veronica dated a Cedar Rapids Kernel, she waitressed at this restaurant. Sup.
Also ed. note: There was a dude named Yes on Veronica's season of Road Rules and I recall him being very cool.
Honorable Mention: Paula "Walnuts" Beckert
Real World: Key West
Two championships, $126,000 career earnings
Paula Walnuts has done more Challenges than any other female competitor and deserves credit for her longevity alone. Unfortunately, Paula's performances just aren't enough to make the list. Her biggest accomplishment was having beef with two of the strongest female competitors of all time, Evelyn and Emily. Her battles with those two resulted in her being partnered with them in Rivals I and II, respectively, leading to her two challenge championships.
Honorable Mention: Susie Meister
Road Rules: Down Under
Two championships, $103,506 career earnings
Susie experienced huge success on the Challenges, winning two championships. Unfortunately, and similar to Veronica, it's hard to imagine Susie taking down any of the other females on this list in a one-on-one situation.
6) Cara Maria Sorbello
The Challenge: Fresh Meat II
One championship, $188,500 career earnings
Cara Maria is known for her trademark bright hair and never quite being able to win it all. That is, until the Battle of the Bloodlines, where she carried her cousin to a championship. Although Cara Maria sometimes annoys us with her fake-ass Boston accent, she has an undeniable track record: She's the elimination queen, winning 11 damn eliminations, she's a Crossfit boss who can run for days, she's the most well-equipped competitor (male or female) for a Challenge finale in history. Unfortunately for Cara, her lopsided losses to Emily and Laurel keep her from any real consideration for the top spots.
5) Sarah Rice
Real World: Brooklyn
One championship, $173,689 career earnings
Sarah has been one of the unluckiest Challenge females in history. She was indeed a dominant competitor, but more often than not was saddled with a horrendous partner. On multiple occasions, Sarah's time in the house was cut short because of her partners being disqualified. After eight seasons of never quite reaching the mountain top, Sarah was finally partnered with a capable teammate and won her first Challenge. Sarah has reached five finals winning one championship* and holds an impressive 6-2 record in eliminations. She is undeniably the best puzzle-solver in Challenge history and is one of the few that can claim they got the best of Johnny Bananas. The girl is ruthless and deserves her spot among the greats.
*She is currently competing in the finale of her ninth season and the favorite to win her second championship.
4) Empty
Unfortunately the gap between the top three Challenge females of all time and the next-best group is so large that I cannot in good conscience put anyone near them.
If you were making the Mount Rushmore of Challenge females, there would only be three heads up there.
3) Emily Schromm

One championship, $104,000 career earnings
When describing Emily's Challenge career it is very simple: she is a Crossfit goddess. Emily is an absolute beast who never truly faced any real competition in any Challenge house she stepped in. She competed in just three Challenges, making it to the final in all three and winning one championship. Along the way, she went undefeated in five eliminations, never coming close to defeat.
Emily is arguably the most athletic female in Challenge history and is every competitor's nightmare in any elimination.*

Steelheads Erase Three-Goal Deficit, Complete Comeback in 5-4 Overtime Win in Game 4
April 20, 2019 - ECHL (ECHL) - Idaho Steelheads News Release
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - The Idaho Steelheads (3-1-0) erased a three-goal deficit and completed the comeback in a 5-4 overtime win over the Utah Grizzlies (1-0-3) on Friday night from Maverik Center in Game 4 of the Mountain Division Semifinal. The Steelheads take a 3-1 series lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Grizzlies utilized special teams for the second-straight game to earn the first goal. Grizzlies forward Tim McGauley rifled a shot off the crossbar from the high slot on the power play to edge ahead, 1-0. The Steelheads overpowered the Grizzlies in shots during the opening frame and carried that momentum into the next frame.
That led the Steelheads to the first goal of an offensive second period at 0:46 when defenseman Keegan Kanzig fought a shot through a screen for his first career postseason goal and a 1-1 game. However, McGauley finished the hat-trick with goals at 1:54 and 4:36 while increasing the lead, 3-1. Grizzlies forward Grayson Downing added to the advantage, 4-1, with a power play goal at 5:41. The Steelheads started to chip back into the lead starting with a goal by forward Henrik Samuelsson in the left circle for a 4-2 game. Just before the end of the frame at 19:54, Steelheads forward Steve McParland took a wrist shot from the high right circle and cut the lead down to just one again, 4-3.
For the third-straight game, Samuelsson sets sail for an overtime decision with the game-tying goal in the third period. At 15:15, Samuelsson cut down an up-ice pass and took the shot himself from the right circle and netted the tying goal for a 4-4 game into overtime.
In the extra period, Samuelsson fed forward Brad McClure for a poke on net that kissed off the left post and across the line at 8:05, securing the comeback victory at 5-4 in overtime and the 3-1 series lead.
Steelheads goaltender Tomas Sholl (3-1-0) stopped 32 of 36 shots in the win, while Grizzlies netminder Kevin Carr (1-0-3) saved 36 of 41 shots in the overtime loss.
The Steelheads have a chance to win the series against the Grizzlies in Game 5 of the Mountain Division Semifinal on Saturday, Apr. 20 at 7:05 p.m. from Maverik Center. Coverage begins at 6:45 p.m. on 1350 KTIK-AM and ECHL.TV.

Published at Saturday, August 24th, 2019 - 03:11:28 AM. Office Desk. By Pansy Asselin.
Desks crafted from solid oak or with cherry or walnut veneers tend to be heavy, but they look very elegant and professional. You might prefer a more modern look, where metal and glass offer a more hi-tech finish than most wooden desks can achieve. You should combine your personal preferences with the expectations of visiting clients, and choose a home office desk to meet both needs.
There are a huge variety of office desks ranging from the traditional large desk to aesthetic desks which are made up of light wood or fiber materials. Choose the best desk for your organization is definitely a challenging task. Desks can be primarily classified based on the design and size. Size of the desk will depend on the need and area where it is to be placed. For example, if it is to be placed in a conference hall, then you will need a large, long desk which will serve the purpose. If it is to be used by a secretary then a small one will be sufficient to place all the files and related documents which is to be taken care of by that person. You should be able to select the appropriate desk based on the needs of the person or people using it.

Swing Voters Hold a More Reasonable View on Climate Change Than the Debate Would Lead You to Believe
In an era of heated rhetoric, many people see climate change as an important but not urgent issue.
When thinking about the wedge issues that down-ballot Republicans should run on this fall, surely some of those that come to mind are Obamacare, illegal immigration, the Supreme Court, and decimating Islamic State. In other words, the attention-grabbing, flashy issues.
Allow me to make an unusual suggestion: Conservative Republicans across the country, running down-ballot from the top-line plutocratic orange overlord, would be wise to publicly lament the status quo of our sclerotic Federal Reserve regime and offer positive reforms to the way the nation conducts monetary policy. In addition to being the right thing to do, on the merits, focusing on monetary policy reform would actually also make for great politics. Here's why.
Firstly, Republicans should be able to effectively wield criticism of the Ben Bernanke/Janet Yellen-led Fed as a shield to riposte the inevitable Leftist shrills about exacerbating income inequality and the old canard that Republicans are the "party of the 1%." Since the 2008 crash, the Fed's basic policy tool set has primarily consisted of two prongs: (1) a longtime zero interest rate policy in the target federal funds rate (referred to as "ZIRP," and only recently ended by Chairman Yellen), and (2) multiple rounds of "quantitative easing" ("QE," for short), which is just a fancy way for economists to say they purchase Treasury debt and print money as a means of driving down long-term interest rates.
There are plenty of criticisms of this emergency policy—and, in particular, its scope and duration, since Bernanke's immediate post-2008 crash response (centered around the first round of quantitive easing, or "QE1") was based largely on his own scholarship that one reason for the Great Depression's length was that the Fed failed to initially act assertively, at the outset. (For whatever it's worth, Bernanke was actually agreeing here with no less a free market icon than Milton Friedman, who famously argued that, given the existence of the Fed, it is monetary—and not fiscal—policy that must be effectively utilized in such national emergencies.) Conservatives, vigilant of the sorry history of inflation quite literally ruining nations, have been rightfully skeptical of the potentially insidious effects of such excessive money printing. Conservatives have also oftentimes questioned the purported "independence" of the Fed, considering the Fed's serial Treasury bond purchases only mask to shift our debt from the transparent Treasury balance sheet to the mysterious Fed balance sheet, artificially distort long-term interest rates by keeping them lower than what the market would naturally suggest, and thus only abet politicians' insatiable desires for more and more spending.
I agree with all of these criticisms. But there is actually one last criticism that would be particularly politically potent this fall. For years now, conservatives have pointed out how a combined ZIRP + QE monetary policy amounts to a de facto diktat to investors and savers to shift out of fixed-income investments (which, by definition, are returning barely anything, especially in prospective real terms, given perennial fears that the QE inflation chickens might come home to roost) and into much riskier (usually stocks) financial asset classes. The logical result of this wealth transfer away from fixed-income assets and toward equity assets has been to harm those (oftentimes the young and the retired) who simply cannot justify the increased risk of constructing a primarily equity-filled portfolio, and to help those who have enough base wealth and risk tolerance to do so.
In other words, the Fed has greatly exacerbated wealth inequality. Or so conservatives have been warning. But remarkably, the Fed itself has actually finally come clean and admitted that we have been right all along. Cue the libertarian-leaning financial blog Zero Hedge, reporting on a May 2016 study released by the St. Louis Fed:
Less than a decade ago, the mere hint that the Fed was either propping up markets or actively pushing them higher was enough to get one branded a conspiracy theorist loon and never again invited to polite conversation. Since then first Bernanke, and then virtually all central bankers both domestic and foreign have admitted that the 'wealth effect,' a polite way of saying pushing up asset prices, has been their primary goal and function…
…we found it quite surprising to read a report by none other than the St. Louis Fed titled 'Are Rising Stock Prices Related to Income Inequality?', which if answered in the affirmative would be an accidental admission that the Fed itself has been instrumental in creating the widest wealth and income gap ever seen in U.S. history (now even greater than the Great Depression).
To our great surprise the answer was 'yes.'
Zero Hedge then goes on to directly quote the St. Louis Fed's study. It really is quite remarkable:
Regarding the stock returns, the S&P 500 Index grew from 92 in 1977 to over 1,476 in 2007. By comparison, it grew only 50 percent in the 30 years prior. The authors noted: 'As stock prices rise, the gains are disproportionately distributed to the wealthy. Lower- and middle-income families who are also wealth-poor are less likely to expose their savings to the higher risks of equity markets.'
Owyang and Shell concluded: 'The increase in income inequality in the 1970s was accompanied, in part, by gains in the stock market. Comovement between stock prices and income inequality results from the fact that gains in the stock market tend to benefit those in the wealthiest portion of the income distribution, who have better access to and higher participation in these asset markets.'
So, at long last, a branch of the Federal Reserve has published its own study affirming a primary conservative fear of the Bernanke/Yellen-led Fed's lengthy experiment in ZIRP and hitherto unprecedented QE. Yes, the Fed has directly exacerbated wealth inequality, and it has done so precisely because of its seeming addiction to the grotesquely market-distorting measures against which free marketeers have so passionately remonstrated. When Leftists fear-monger on the campaign trail this fall about the nefarious Bush tax cuts and sundry deregulations they claim hurt the "99%" at the expense of the "1%," conservatives can respond in intellectually coherent and pragmatically sound fashion by explaining why current levels of inequality actually demands monetary policy reform more than it demands any other form of policy response. Defending the Centennial Monetary Commission Act (which would create a bipartisan commission to consider potentially expansive structural changes to the nation's governing monetary policy regime) and the Federal Reserve Reform Act of 2015 (which would require greater transparency and a stricter abiding to firm monetary rules, as opposed to more discretionary standards) would be a great place to start.
Secondly, criticism of the Fed status quo and advocacy of positive reforms to our monetary policy system would allow conservatives a potent, strategic opening to contrast their conservatism with the bloviating non-conservatism of the orange-hued clown (presumably) running at the top of the Republican ticket. Before getting to the merits, let me explain why such a contrast is important. It is important, quite simply, because building a third-party from scratch is difficult, and because conservatives should still try their best to preserve the GOP as a vehicle for ideological conservatism by preventing it from falling prey to the "intellectual skinheads" of the horrible "alt-right." Here is the conclusion of a fun piece Eli Steinberg wrote yesterday at The Federalist, in which he argued that Republican National Convention delegates should essentially nominate an anti-Trump vice president who would spend his time on the campaign trail sabotaging the election for the demagogic New Yorker:
Many conservatives are mourning 'the death of the Republican Party.' They see this hostile takeover as their cue to abandon ship, ceding the party to the populists. But there is no reason to do so. The Republican Party is a great party, and whatever it would be replaced with won't be any better. It is sick and weak, but with the right care, it can be restored to its former glory. Only if conservatives surrender it to the Trumpists will it really die. Conservatives need to stand up and fight for their party, because the Grand Old Party belongs to conservatives, not to the naked populists.
I am not sure how realistic a prospect it is for delegates to effectively nominate a troll as the orange guy's running mate, but I certainly agree with the gist of Steinberg's peroration. What I would suggest is that a backup—and a probably more realistic—alternative to nominating a vice presidential troll would be for conservatives running nationally to meaningfully contrast themselves with Trump on an important issue (or two, or three) to the conservative cause. I think monetary policy—and, especially, how monetary policy interacts with trade—presents a perfect opportunity to distinguish conservatism from Trumpism.
In May, Donald Trump held a wide-ranging phone interview with CNBC in which he "positioned himself on the far left of the political spectrum on fiscal [and monetary] issues, coming out for low interest rates [and] against a strong dollar." This affinity for potentially pro-inflationary low interest rates, and a preference for a weak dollar, is anathema to long-held conservative orthodoxy. The Reagan Revolution, which on the fiscal side was aided by supply-side tax cuts and regulatory streamlining, was only made possible by the complementary efforts of the Paul Volcker-led Fed in famously combatting Carter-era inflation and in strengthening the dollar. Support for a strong dollar—"king dollar," as CNBC's Larry Kudlow has long called it—is conservative orthodoxy for acolyte economists of the Reagan era, such as Art Laffer and the Heritage Foundation's Stephen Moore. Furthermore, broader opposition to excessively low-interest, potentially pro-inflationary monetary measures are rampant on the Right, and Texas Congressman Kevin Brady has been notable for legislatively proposing that the Fed eschew its statutorily prescribed "dual mandate"—to maximize employment and temper inflation—in favor of a European Central Bank-style "single mandate" to simply manage inflation.
But Trump's preference for low interest rates and a concomitantly weaker dollar actually makes perfect sense, given his nonsensically anachronistic economic worldview. The reality is that Donald Trump's thoughts on trade would have fit in better in the 1600s than they do in a world where we have access to Adam Smith's 1776 magnum opus, The Wealth of Nations, and David Ricardo's famous 1817 work, On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Put more bluntly, Donald Trump's policies and rhetoric—his seemingly truly held belief that the "balance of trade" is an economically relevant metric on which to judge a nation, his devout protectionism and support for high tariffs, and his belief that it is exports and not imports that truly matter—are in line with classic mercantilist theory, and are not at all in line with our post-Adam Smith capitalist world.
In a March 10 piece in The New York Times, Binyamin Applebaum succinctly captured this phenomenon in his title, "On Trade, Donald Trump Breaks With 200 Years of Economic Orthodoxy":
Donald J. Trump's blistering critique of American trade policy boils down to a simple equation: Foreigners are 'killing us on trade' because Americans spend much more on imports than the rest of the world spends on American exports. China's unbalanced trade with the United States, he said Tuesday night, is 'the greatest theft in the history of the world.'
Add a few 'whereins' and 'whences' and that sentiment would conform nicely to the worldview of the first Queen Elizabeth of 16th-century England, to the 17th-century court of Louis XIV, or to Prussia's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in the 19th century. The great powers of bygone centuries subscribed to the economic theory of mercantilism, 'Wherein we must ever observe this rule: to sell more to strangers yearly than we consume of theirs in value,' as its apostle, the East India Company director Thomas Mun, wrote in the 1600s.
Now Mr. Trump is bringing mercantilism back. The New York billionaire is challenging the last 200 years of economic orthodoxy that trade among nations is good, and that more is better…
The fundamental issue here is that mercantilism does not deserve to be brought "back." We live in a capitalistic society for a reason, and conservative free marketeers in the Republican Party once upon a time appreciated this. Applebaum accurately notes, though, that there is probably no single belief that Trump has more consistently championed over the decades than his disdain for free trade and his retrograde mercantilism:
Mr. Trump's mercantilism is among his oldest and steadiest public positions. Since at least the 1980s, he has described trade as a zero-sum game in which countries lose by paying for imports. [In his view,] the trade deficit with China, which reached $366 billion last year, makes America the biggest loser.
This is absolute garbage, from a free market perspective. Free trade is literally just capitalism, on a global scale. Ricardian comparative advantage theory (properly) preaches that the freer and voluminously greater trade is, the better off we will be as a society. Trump also has it completely backwards on exports and imports, and Applebaum quotes the sagacious Friedman for the proposition:
Economists have long struggled against the popular view that exports are a measure of economic vitality while imports are evidence of regrettable dependence.
They argue that the opposite is true.
'Economists have spoken with almost one voice for some 200 years,' the economist Milton Friedman said in a 1978 speech. 'The gain from foreign trade is what we import. What we export is the cost of getting those imports. And the proper objective for a nation, as Adam Smith put it, is to arrange things so we get as large a volume of imports as possible for as small a volume of exports as possible.'
Conservatives' criticism of the Fed's status quo—including its artificially low interest rates, its grand post-2008 crash experiment in endless QE, and its pernicious effects on potentially abetting long-term inflation and dollar weakening—would go a long way toward pushing back against this Trumpist economic illiteracy. By focusing on the Fed, conservatives can simultaneously defend capitalism and free trade, lament an activist Fed's micro-management and excessive central planning of the economy, resist Leftists' rhetorical assaults on wealth inequality in an ideologically coherent and consistent fashion, and distance themselves from Donald Trump in a way that meaningfully attempts to preserve the GOP as a partisan vessel for free market conservatism. It's a win-win-win-win.
In an era of heated rhetoric, many people see climate change as an important but not urgent issue.
The chances may be even greater that Republicans would pressure Trump to resign.
I think Guy Benson is right. If Barack Obama handed his foreign policy to an outside lawyer who bought conspiracy theories he'd heard on MSNBC talk shows and had his chief of staff go through pa …

It's time to guarantee the 'Right to an Education'
How can you go about life without knowing your rights? —Aleita Cook
PSU members and recent Providence schools graduates Aleita Cook and Ahmed Sesay held back laughs as The Daily Show correspondent Jaboukie Young-White wheeled into their interview on a hoverboard, doing his worst impression of a modern teenager.
The subject of the interview, however, was extremely serious: the dire need to guarantee a federal 'right to education'. Cook and Sesay are among 11 plaintiffs in an active lawsuit against the State of Rhode Island, Cook v. Raimondo, alleging that their rights under the U.S. Constitution have been violated because they have not received a robust civics education.
The clip was released in the midst of statewide education turmoil following the recent release of the Johns Hopkins University report on the state of Providence Public Schools.
But even as state leaders—including Governor Gina Raimondo, Senate President Dominick Ruggerio, Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, the Board of Education, and the Commissioner of Education—lament the condition of the capital city's education system, those same leaders are currently fighting Providence Student Union's efforts in court to guarantee a 'right to education' in Rhode Island schools. We need to demand better.
Today, we want to celebrate this amazing—and hilarious—clip. But we also pledge to keep fighting for the rights students deserve in Providence schools and beyond. At the top of our to-do list? Article #1 of our Student Bill of Rights: "The right to education."

cunntas-bheachd (en. "opinion poll")
September 12, 2014 10:00 am
"What I want is to get done what the people desire to have done, and the question for me is how to find that out exactly." Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln clearly understood the importance of public opinion as he was the President of the U.S. during the Civil War when the country was as divided as never. Despite that, he did manage to preserve the unity of the country and I suppose today we could hardly think of it being otherwise.
What about the U.K.?
I believe it is fair to say that not that long time ago it was hard to imagine that the Union of more than 300 years could ever split. Of course, the situation and the underlying issues there are very much different from the ones in Lincoln`s U.S. Nevertheless, recent opinion polls show that it has become quite likely that the Scottish would vote yes for their independence. Therefore, in the light of these events, we have chosen opinion poll as the IATE term of the week.
The polls have indeed changed by swinging from no towards yes: "Support for the yes campaign has increased in recent weeks and in a poll released on September 7 they took 51% of support, compared to the no campaign's 49%, marking a dramatic shift in support of independence just 10 days before voting begins." (read more)
In spite of the fact that the results of this type of assessment of public opinion are frequently doubted, they not only help to foresee the possible outcome of a certain future event but they also prompt a lot of discussions and indirectly exert influence over some people to change their minds since new offers are put on the table according to the results of the polls.
On the 18th of September the Scots will express their will during the referendum. Undoubtedly, a multitude of political, economic and identity related issues would follow in case they vote yes. For some people it would bring content no matter what, while some of the rest could hardly cope even with the loss of the iconic British flag.

We invite you to suggest the equivalent terms in the missing EU languages, or alternatives to the existing term in your language if you consider the proposed term inaccurate. Provide your answer with a reliable reference and an accurate definition and/or context if possible.
Click here to contribute to IATE!
A terminologist for the language in question will revise your answer and decide whether to validate them. Given the implications of the process, a delay is to be expected.

Most of us are familiar with the edible blue mussels that cling to rocks in the ocean's intertidal zone, and also, perhaps, with the ribbed horse mussel imbedded in the mud of salt marsh estuaries. But, what about freshwater? Are mussels found in rivers, streams and lakes as well? They certainly are! About 300 species of freshwater mussels are found in North America – the greatest diversity of any continent. Twelve native species occur in Connecticut, six of which are listed as endangered, threatened or special concern in the state.
Contrary to general perceptions that mussels are about as interesting as dead stones, these animals are truly fascinating. Belonging to the Phylum Mollusca, they are related to marine octopus and squid, but only mussels, their bivalve clam cousins, and snails (Gastropoda) possess freshwater species.
Mussels are filter feeders, pumping up to 40 liters of water per hour through their bodies in their quest for oxygen and food. Mussels may live from a decade to over a century, depending on species and habitat conditions.
Most fascinating is the fact that fish play a critical role in a mussel's life cycle. Life begins when sperm, expelled by male mussels, is siphoned into a female and fertilizes her eggs. After two to ten months of brooding in her gills, the eggs develop into tiny (0.05 to 0.50mm diameter, smaller than a period on this page), strange-looking larvae called glochidia (glah-KID-ee-ah). When mature, hundreds of thousands of glochidia are released into the water, where a few will find their way to the correct host fish and attach themselves to its gills, fins or body. The glochidia soon become grown over, or encased, by fish tissues, forming a cyst.
Some mussel species have one specific host fish, others may have up to three or more. For example, brook and brown trout are hosts to the Eastern Pearl Shell Mussel (swift, cool streams), while carp and white suckers, tolerant of lower quality streams, are host to the equally tolerant Eastern Floater Mussel.
After one to ten weeks in the parasitic cyst stage the juvenile mussel breaks out of its cyst on the host fish, falls to the bottom and burrows in. Thus, the fish host not only provides food and shelter for the developing larvae, it also is its means of dispersal, often moving the mussel larvae upstream where it could not possibly go otherwise. Remember, no fish, no mussels!
Pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals used on land eventually make their way into our rivers and streams, affecting water quality. Siltation, caused by livestock or development too close to the water's edge, is also a problem. Because adult mussels are essentially sedentary, and continuously filter and "sample" their water environment, scientists are using them to help monitor water and habitat quality. Mussel die-offs can be an indication that the host fish for that species has disappeared from that area, or that pollution has compromised the mussels' ability to survive. Freshwater mussels are considered good "biological indicators" of what is happening in a river system. Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection is currently conducting surveys of these amazing, imperiled creatures in our state's rivers, streams and lakes.

"Aggregate Hazes in Exoplanet Atmospheres"
Photochemical hazes have been frequently used to interpret exoplanet transmission spectra that show an upward slope towards shorter wavelengths and weak molecular features. While previous studies have only considered spherical haze particles, photochemical hazes composed of hydrocarbon aggregate particles are common throughout the solar system. We use an aerosol microphysics model to investigate the effect of aggregate photochemical haze particles on transmission spectra of warm exoplanets. The wavelength dependence of unit nadir optical depth is steeper for spherical hazes than for aggregates since aggregates grow to larger radii. As a result, while spherical haze opacity displays a scattering slope towards shorter wavelengths, aggregate haze opacity is gray in the optical and NIR, similar to those assumed for condensate cloud decks. We further find that haze opacity increases with increasing production rate, decreasing eddy diffusivity, and increasing monomer size, though the magnitude of the latter effect is dependent on production rate and the atmospheric pressure levels probed. We generate synthetic exoplanet transmission spectra to investigate the effect of these hazes on spectral features. For high haze opacity cases, aggregate hazes lead to flat, nearly featureless spectra, while spherical hazes produce sloped spectra with clear spectral features at long wavelengths. Finally, we generate synthetic transmission spectra of GJ 1214b for aggregate and spherical hazes and compare them to space-based observations. We find that aggregate hazes can reproduce the data significantly better than spherical hazes, assuming a production rate limited by delivery of methane to the upper atmosphere.
"Using Magnetic Topology to Probe the Sources of Mars' Nightside Ionosphere"
GRL Paper 2017 AGU Talk 2017 Honors Thesis
We combine thermal electron densities in Mars' ionosphere with magnetic topology information to investigate the sources of the nightside ionosphere. Thermal electron density is measured in situ by the Langmuir Probe and Waves (LPW) experiment onboard MAVEN (Mars Atmospheric and Volatile EvolutioN), while magnetic topology is simultaneously inferred from suprathermal electron energy-pitch angle distributions measured by the Solar Wind Electron Analyzer (SWEA) and the Magnetometer (MAG). Topologically closed regions inhibit electron impact ionization (EII), allowing us to isolate the effects of plasma transport from the dayside, which exhibits a dawn-dusk asymmetry. Pressure gradient forces on open magnetic field lines connected to the dayside ionosphere source the high-altitude nightside ionosphere, resulting in higher densities. Regions that are topologically open to the nightside ionosphere allow us to assess in situproduction by EII, which is responsible for ~50% of the nightside ionosphere below ~160 km and ~25% above ~220 km (on average).

Would you like to regain your pre-baby figure and look and feel your best? You may be a good candidate for a mommy makeover. Moms of all ages and body types can benefit from a mommy makeover, because it is a highly customizable procedure. But how much does a mommy makeover cost.
What is a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover consists of multiple procedures that are done to combat some of the physical changes brought on by pregnancy. A tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast lift, and liposuction, are among the most common surgeries included in a mommy makeover.
How Much Does A Mommy Makeover Cost?
The cost of a mommy makeover varies, since it depends on the procedures that are included. Mommy makeover surgery is customized to fit the specific needs of each patient, as it is influenced by the problem areas they would like addressed.
The price quote received for a mommy makeover will also be impacted by variables such as the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, surgical facility fee, and the location of the practice. The cost for a mommy makeover is generally higher in larger cities.
Clients can schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure, and get an exact cost.
Depending on the foregoing factors, the cost of a mommy makeover can range from $8,000 to $15,000.
In order to get an accurate cost, patients should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a full cost breakdown. The surgeon will perform a comprehensive evaluation, and tailor a treatment plan based on the patient's unique needs.

The title sounds a bit like a sad song lyric, yeah I know, but I have been up all night and am on the verge of tears due to my frustration and fatigue. I do not have a recliner and pillows no longer help. What do I do? I'm desperate for relief!!!
I have horrible insomnia with this pregnancy. Its been steadily getting worse since about 16 weeks. I'm talking sleeping MAYBE a total of 1.5-2.5 hours per night. Its rough for sure especially with having a 3 year old to look after during the day.
What really helped me was to let go of the frustration and expectation that sleep has to happen at night only. If you can, take small naps throughout the day. I've had to sleep while my daughter was cuddling next to me on the couch watching a tv show or a movie and even though its only 20 minute light snoozes I still feel a little better.
Another suggestion is to stop looking at sleep as a full 7-8 hours. Trick yourself into feeling like night time sleep is just a series of naps. Since you know insomnia is something you struggle with I'd try to just lay down when you're tired and tell yourself that you're going to rest or nap a little bit. That way you don't get yourself worked up over not getting long stretches of sleep.
I also do warm baths and if I wake up during the night and cannot go back to sleep then I take another warm bath. Keep the lights low or off, light a candle so you don't jolt yourself awake with the bright lights.
Turn on the blue light filter on your phone too if you prefer to read when you wake up during the night. It kind of helps, but no electronics is best. If you really can't sleep don't try to force it. Get up and do something super boring or read a little bit. Fold some laundry.
As far as breathing goes...I'm dealing with that too and its horrible. Baby can't decide if she wants to live in my ribs or bounce on my cervix. Try to sleep on your side with a couple pillows under your head, 1 or 2 between your knees and a smaller pillow propping you up behind your back. I find that anytime I get too far onto my back then I can't breathe as well. But that small pillow behind my back keeps me from trying to lean too far back.
I hope things improve for you and you get some helpful tips!

If you do not plan your estate, negative consequences are likely to take place after you die. You lose all control of the outcome when you fail to execute a last will or a trust of some kind. On the other hand, if you are proactive about the implementation of an estate plan, you control the way that your assets will be transferred after you pass away.
The Condition of Intestacy
The condition of intestacy will result if you were to pass away without executing the appropriate estate planning documents. Each state has its own laws of intestate succession. If you were to die intestate as a resident of our state, the court would determine how your assets are distributed using Michigan's succession rules.
Generally speaking, your closest relative or relatives would inherit your assets, but there are specific parameters. We will share some of them with you here.
If you were to pass away with children still living but no living spouse, your children would inherit all of your intestate property. You spouse would be only inheritor is he or she survives you and you have no children or parents still alive.
This would be contrary to the wishes of most people, but your spouse would have to share your intestate assets with your parents if you predecease them. The first $150,000 of your intestate property would go to your spouse along with three-fourths of the remainder. Your parents would get the rest.
Your siblings would inherit everything if you were to pass away without a living spouse, parents or children.
There are those who pass away intestate without having any relatives still alive. In fact, a landmark intestacy case began in the state of New York in 2012. Roman Blum died in January of that year at the age of 97. Throughout his life he was a very successful real estate investor. He amassed an estate that was valued at approximately $40 million at the time of his death.
He did not execute an estate plan, though he was made aware of the consequences of inaction by people who were close to him.
The state of New York appointed a personal representative to handle the business of the estate. The representative was given the authority to engage genealogists. They have been searching for a relative, and some have come forward, but they have failed to prove their case. As of 2019, the state was still in possession of the intestate estate.
Create a Will at Minimum
You should certainly take the time to create a last will at the very least. If you do create a will to state your final wishes, you would want to nominate an executor in the document. The executor of an estate is an estate administrator. This nominee would ultimately handle the business of the estate after your passing.
Many people think that the position of executor is largely an honorary post that is bestowed upon someone who was held in high esteem by the decedent. The executor may well have been highly regarded by the decedent, but it is far more than an honorary position.
Let's look at some of the responsibilities that the executor must handle during the estate administration process.
Proving of the Will
Some assume that the executor can follow the instructions left behind in the last will and distribute assets right away. In reality, this is not the way that it works. Before anyone can receive inheritances, the executor must admit the will to probate.
During probate, there is a proving of the will. The court examines the will to make sure that it is in fact valid, and challenges could be presented before the court during probate.
Inventorying Property
The executor must identify and inventory the property that will ultimately be transferred to the heirs in accordance with the wishes of the decedent. This can be easier said than done under some circumstances.
If the decedent did not leave behind a very detailed accounting, it can sometimes be difficult for the executor to identify all of the property.
Appraisals and Liquidation
Once all of the probate property has been identified, it must be prepared for distribution to the heirs. This can involve appraisals and liquidation, and property does not necessarily sell overnight. As a result, the liquidation process can be quite involved.
The executor is going to be the point of contact for anyone who is doing business with the estate. This can include attorneys, accountants, appraisers, liquidators, and the probate court itself. People who are named in the will may also have questions along the way.
Because all of these business-oriented tasks must be completed during probate, you are going to want to look for a business savvy individual when you are nominating an executor. You should ideally nominate someone who lives nearby so that this business can be efficiently conducted.
Longevity is another concern, so you should consider the age of the person that you are nominating.
Plus, the executor should be a level-headed person who is an effective and patient communicator.
Lastly, this can be a time-consuming and demanding position, so you should be certain that the person that you want to nominate is willing to act as the executor.

I would describe myself as an amateur photographer. I like traveling, and much of the reason why I like traveling is to see new places and take photos. I get a kick out of taking great photos in amazing locations.
A few years ago my dad recommended a new camera to me: the Sony NEX-5. It packs a fully-featured DSLR into a body that is only slightly larger than a point-and-shoot camera. It has a great automatic mode that I use for most daylight photography, as well as a fully programmable manual mode. Since its purchase, it has been a constant companion on all the trips I've taken, spanning 4 continents and numerous countries. I've learnt that there is simply no substitute for a high quality camera and a good lens. Nowadays the NEX-5 has been superseded by newer models, but it keeps going strong for me.
There are a few basic factors at play when taking photos, and each one interacts with the others to determine how a shot turns out. As I learnt more about using the manual camera mode, I realised that these were not nearly as complicated as I'd first thought.
- Shutter speed: how long the lens of the camera stays open to take a picture. Typically measured in seconds: the longer the shutter speed, the longer the shot takes, and the more light enters the camera. Typical shutter speeds in daylight are fractions of a second; longer shutter speeds are commonly associated with "blurry" pictures due to the movement of the camera or the subject whilst the camera is capturing the shot.
- Aperture: how "open" the lens of the camera is when you take your picture. A smaller aperture corresponds to less light being let into the camera, and vice versa. This is measured in F-stops or F-numbers, and the basic rule of thumb is that the larger the F-stop, the smaller the aperture. Additionally, aperture affects the depth of field of the shot: how much horizontal distance in the image is in focus. Larger F-stops (smaller apertures) result in longer depths of field, meaning that objects at a wider range of distances can all be in focus at once.
ISO: how light-sensitive the camera is. This is roughly analogous to the varying numbers on rolls of film (anyone remember them? ISO 100/200/400?). The lower the number, the less light sensitive the shot; higher numbers result in more noise. A typical test for a good camera is to check the amount of noise present in pictures taken at a very high ISO value (e.g. 12800); less noise means a better camera. A particular challenge is night photography. The basic problem is that there is far less light available; and thus the camera must adjust its settings to compensate.
It can lengthen the shutter speed, which potentially risks a blurred or smeared shot if the camera or subject is moving
- It can open the aperture wider (smaller F-stop number), which will reduce the depth of field
- It can increase the ISO, which may increase the noise and graininess of the shot
In automatic mode, point and shoot cameras will typically try a combination of these, which combines their downsides. Hence, you get a shot like this:
Now, some situations are very difficult to take great shots at (e.g. rock concerts), but spectacular night portraits and landscapes can be taken with just a couple of tricks. The key is simple: use a tripod. This allows you to avoid the worst downsides (ISO too high, aperture too large), and control for the necessary ones (camera stability).
With your camera on a tripod, F16, ISO 200, and shutter speed of 25 seconds, you can take shots like this:
Much better! The tripod compensates for the long exposure time, whilst the ISO is set as low as possible to ensure minimum noise.
Long exposure times allow for some experimentation. The easiest thing to try is movement and light. The following shot was taken next to a busy expressway, with the same settings as above. Fast moving cars aren't picked up by the camera, but their headlights and taillights are:
In this next shot, the subject is standing still whilst I run behind him, shining a torch around his outline and at the camera while the exposure is running. It takes some practice to get right, but the effect can be amazing.
Finally, a useful way of figuring out how to adjust your camera settings correctly in manual mode is to use the exposure value compensation (EV). In manual mode, your camera will display this number, e.g. the -0.7 here on the screen of my NEX-5.
This number is roughly what the camera thinks of the exposure of the current shot: positive numbers indicate overexposure, whilst negative numbers indicate underexposure. It will change depending on your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings, as well as the relative brightness of the subject. For night shots, I generally prefer this number to be as close to 0 as possible, and so I use it to help adjust the settings as necessary.
Hopefully this post has inspired some night time photography!

The objective of the game is to complete a level by reaching its end; however, if the player crashes into an obstacle, they will have to start over from the beginning. Along the way, the player can collect up to three secret coins in each official level, which are scattered in either hidden or challenging areas or both.
All of these features give a variety of ways to play the game. There also are dash arrows to go in a straight line until death or release of your finger for mobile devices. In the last two years, the online levels' difficulty increased notably.
One example of this increasing can be seen in the level "Decode", by Rek3dge. Levels Main levels Geometry Dash features 21 official levels, 18 of which are playable from the start.

Each level grants rewards upon completion. These secret coins are used to unlock 3 demon levels: Online levels can get even harder than the official levels, as repeatedly proven by the creators of these online levels. Over time, the "difficulty cap" has risen and risen to reach new heights each update, especially in 2.
Levels are classified by difficulty, from Easy to Insane Demon; in order of the levels' addition to the game, somewhat but not completely in order of difficulty.
The stars represent the difficulty and the number of stars the player gets when completing that level. Also, official levels are worth more stars than custom levels. Unlike official levels, they cannot be played offline unless they were previously downloaded.
Update 2.2
The player can also unlock other customization features, namely a selection of trails behind icons, a secondary color glow around the icon's black border, and death effects. The first one can be unlocked by getting 10 silver verified user coins, the second by getting 50 diamonds, and the third with an emblem obtainable from the shop hidden the treasure room in turn obtainable with diamonds. The first one is in the icon select menu, and the other two can be unlocked by using diamonds.
Why you should pay in-game? Games[ edit ] Geometry Dash Lite[ edit ] In the Lite version, players cannot access certain features that are in the purchased version.THE SECOND THEORY (Yeah.. This is gonna be hard)
For example, players cannot access user created levels and create their own levels, the main levels only reach Electroman Adventures, you can't play and create online levels, it does not have the daily chests, players cannot create an account, the three shops are not accessible and players can't access the subfolder of Shards of Power.
Also some achievements and customizations of vehicles that cannot be obtained. Currently as of update 1. It consists of 3 levels: Development[ edit ] According to Robert Topala, the game began as a project that could have moved in any direction.
He made the remark, "There was really no detailed plan Topala was inspired by " The Impossible Game " and he took about four months to create the game and take it to the App Store and Google Play.
In the beta version, the game was called "Geometry Jump", but was later changed to "Geometry Dash". Upon its release, Geometry Dash had just seven levels, which are now currently free to play on the game's free version, alongside six other levels released in later updates in the full version Time Machine, Cycles, xStep, Clutterfunk, Theory of Everything, and Electroman Adventures.
Update | Geometry Dash Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
Whilst many people hate the mini wave in Deadlocked, I quite like it. Similarly, I like the mini wave in ToE2. I've only ever gone through this part twice, so believe me when I say it's easy.
Easier than it looks To end the level, ToE2 throws a few orbs at you, but all you need to do is continuously tap, then slide to victory on the mouth of an uprooted worm. Actually, don't tap in front of the spikes Coins The first coin is, at the best of times, irritating to get. It's in plain sight, but the entrance is - you guessed it - invisible. Along with the upside down double speed ship, the tight space and necessary straight fly is difficult to master altogether, so good luck.
That entrance is tiny: O ToE2's second coin is located in one of those easy wave parts. Unfortunately, I haven't ever attempted to collect this coin, so I don't personally know hpw hard it is to get, however many people have ranked it as one of the toughest coins in the official levels, even surpassing Clubstep's second coin and Deadlocked's first coin.
