Continued from page 2
"There will always be human designers in the loop" predicted Professor Josh Tenenbaum of MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, arguing with the "narrative" that machines will do it all on their own and pointing out that all the recent exciting new developments in AI have been brought to us by humans—machine learning experts.
Many such experts participated in the RE•WORK Deep Learning Summit in Boston. They reported on the impressive progress in accuracy and efficiency they have made recently in training computers to decipher speech, identify objects in photos and videos, translate text, and recognize sounds. For example:
Andrew Tulloch, Research Engineer at Facebook, talked about using deep learning to improve the user experience—to better understand what's in photos and in videos (noting the "explosion" in this format in the last couple of years), and making billions of translations daily. Facebook is using modern machine learning tools not only to analyze and process content, but also to assist in running its IT infrastructure. The new tools are especially helpful in supporting the more than 1 billion users who access Facebook only from a mobile device. Using AI to meet unprecedented IT challenges is what made Facebook (and Google and Amazon and other "digital natives") the standard-bearers of the new IT and what became to be known as the "digital transformation" of established companies, resulting in the new breed of CIOs.
Leonid Sigal, Senior Research Scientist at Disney Research, explained the need for "algorithms that learn more efficiently." When classifying objects in photos, most categories contain few data samples (e.g., existing photos in which a sword is labeled "Excalibur"), making training the computer difficult or even impossible—more than 1000 labeled images are required to train the computer to recognize a specific object. To address this challenge, the Disney research team has developed "an entirely new learning paradigm"—semi-supervised vocabulary informed learning—where categories that have no labeled data are enhanced with semantic attributes based on descriptive words that are transferred from labeled images.
Spyros Matsoukas, Principal Scientist at Amazon, described how deep learning is used throughout the complex system behind Alexa, the virtual assistant, from detecting the "wake word" and speech recognition to converting text to speech and natural language understanding. Challenges abound, and just in the area of understanding what the user says they include recognizing intent (e.g., "play 'remind me'" vs. "remind me to go to the play"), dealing with similar-sounding words, users correcting themselves in mid-sentence, and the need for high precision and recall. Amazon researchers constantly tweak and upgrade the type of deep learning models they use to reduce errors and improve Alexa's understanding of the user's input.
Listening to these and other people presenting at the Re-Work event, I realized that they are the true robot overlords, lording over the software and hardware that is the new AI. I also realized the incredibly primitive state of the new AI, notwithstanding all the recent rapid progress. What these AI masters do (successfully) is codify very narrow sub-sub-categories of cognitive tasks that a 3-year-old (or my intelligent dog) does with no big data at hand. In the paper on their new approach to AI learning the Disney researchers published last year, they wrote:
Humans… are able to distinguish beyond 30,000 basic level categories [as opposed to a few 1000s of categories for state-of-the-art object recognition AI]. What is more impressive, is the fact that humans can learn from few examples, by effectively leveraging information from other object category classes, and even recognize objects without ever seeing them (e.g., by reading about them on the Internet).
Indeed, those who are most familiar with the challenges of teaching computers a few simple human tricks, do not think that the arrival of robot overlords (of the robot kind) is immanent. A recent large survey of machine learning researchers found that they believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years.
Are they "underestimating" their (and their students') abilities and the unreasonable effectiveness of bigger data and much more powerful computers in the future? Resisting the temptation to hedge my bets, I will make the following prediction: There is a 0% chance that humans (or robots) will at any time in the future produce a machine with a human-level intelligence, capable of automating all human jobs. Why? Because human intelligence has many more dimensions than just performing cognitive tasks that can be codified, including having motor skills, imagination, and the ability to participate in creating and transmitting human culture. There will never be robot overlords because robots will never be human.

The goal of every business is to generate profit no matter which part of the globe they are and no matter what type of business you run. Only a small portion of the market share is necessary to generate revenue with internet advertising and web services. A concept not neglected by Giblink. In fact one of the reasons for its success is that it is so forward thinking.

One thing is for certain, if you could use a little more income and a lot less work, then you should find out more about Giblink.

http://evideoproductionservice.com/
There is a key component that can be the bridge between your business and online success. While your website may be top of the line and your product, service or blog may be well worth the visit, you may get no where without SEO. If you do not know what SEO is or if you do understand but do not know where to start this article will help.

Taking advantage of the opportunities that SEO presents means taking advantage of the various content directories scattered across the web. These great sites are specifically for submitting articles and reaching the public's eyes. Having well written and targeted articles submitted to these sites will mean the right people read your article and more potential sales are created.

When using SEO keyword-finding resources, be sure that you are always creative in your efforts. You do not need to search specifically for well-known words or phrases. Instead, create categories and phrases and see what people are really searching for. This way, you may be able to find a widely searched phrase that has very little competition.

Make sure to have a relevant title and meta description on each page of your site. Without a unique page title, it is very difficult to rank highly in the listings. The meta tag isn't required for high search rankings; however, it does usually show below your listing in the results so it is useful for encouraging click through.

This is easily done through a robots. txt file that gets added into your own root directory. This makes certain files found on your website inaccessible to the search engine.

Make sure you didn't forget to leave robots.txt set. In many cases, when a site is in development, web designers will use a robots.txt file to prevent search engines from indexing the site at all. Some of these same web designers forget to remove the robots.txt file when the site goes live. If you know what date your site is going live, one tip is a create a cron job that deletes the robots.txt file automatically on the designated date.

Make use of inbound, external links to optimize search engine results. Link to people you know and request them to link to you, as well. Make use of other pages by writing good quality comments and in the review section, as well. Encourage others to visit your site. Linking to other sites can result in the traffic you desire and encourage better placement in real-time searches.

Learn about search engine optimization or hire a company that specializes in it. The work you put into your site will be wasted if the site can't be found during a web search. A good SEO plan will have you ranking higher in the results of the major search engines for keyword searches that relate to your company.

In order to help crawlers and spiders index your web site, you should create a site map. A site map is a list of all the pages that make up your site. By creating one, web spiders will be able to discover even the most obscure and hidden pages, as well as to receive other important information. This will increase your visibility on the internet.

Use a search engine to your advantage. Find the top ten best rated and most used article directories, and start out by only submitting to those. This will help you keep your focus, and also put you higher on the submission lists for the search engines. You should only associate with reputable companies.

In order to improve your link popularity, you will want to find exchange partner sites. This will end up with your search engine rankings also improving. Find companies that would seem like they cary a product that will compliment yours very well. You can find these sites in web directories, or you can use a search engine to find sites that link your competitors' web sites.

If the host of your site allows spammers, find yourself a new host. The engines will eventually get around to shutting out IP's that allow spammers and you will find your site shut out with the rest of them. Check and see if your host has a policy against spamming in their terms and conditions.

Title tags are a critical part of Search Engine Optimization. Title Tags appear in your browser window in the title bar. They clue the search engine in as to what kind of information is on your page. You should label each page's title tags with different keywords to bring in more hits.

Having your website reach it's full potential is a gratifying and profitable experience. If you use the tips outlined in this article you will find that your website can receive more traffic. More traffic means more consumers. More consumers is great news for any website. In short, embrace SEO today make more money tomorrow!DorothyyTSkelleyhttp://email@example.com

Dating. Relationships. Love. It is difficult to argue that these words are not thrown around and used in everyday life.
In college and as we get older, these words and other related terms might become more important to us. Whether we receive questions from our family about when we plan to get married or if we ourselves think about finding a partner, romance seems to be inevitable.What has seemed to change over time is the romance game that is played between girls and boys.
In college and today's "hookup culture", long-term relationships are not often seen or heard about. Occasionally you see someone in your dorm that has been in a steady relationship since high school or you hear about your roommate's cousin who is getting married to her college sweetheart. But for the most part, college romance consists of drunken hookups, one-night stands and friends with benefits.
In the past or before cell phones and social networking sites like Facebook, if a girl was interested in a boy or vice versa, they would ask their friends about them or try to find the courage to ask them out. Back then they even called the person on the telephone to get in touch. Even earlier than this, adults supervised dates.
The Internet has changed how people get in contact with each other, and romance overall. Today we have online dating services, such as eHarmony.com, that can help someone find a lifelong partner or at least a few dates. Facebook, email, and Skype have become ways to keep people connected and updated on one another, no matter how far apart they are. With texting, we can easily ask if someone wants to casually hang out or get together later, without the possibility of being rejected or embarrassed in person.
Possibly the biggest factor in how dating has changed from the past to the present though is how standards for girls and boys have changed, and how history has changed society.
In the 1920's dating was highly gendered- the boy was supposed to ask the girl out with permission from her parents, provide transportation and pay for the date.
During the following decades, women were expected to get married, have children and stay at home to cook and clean. Back in the past however, if women were not married they were to remain virgins. Premarital sex was neither considered nor talked about, especially as birth control was illegal some places. This greatly contrasts today, where premarital sex on most college campuses is considered a norm, and obtaining birth control has been made easier.
The dating system with defined rules broke down by the 1960's and 70's, and became less ritualized and more about "hanging out" and "hooking up".
Standards have changed for women greatly from the past to the present, including how others see women's personal lives.
In the past, a woman was expected to go out with many different men but not have premarital sex or to be considered promiscuous.
Today we refer to women who sleep with many different men degrading names such as "slut" or "whore". In the past if a man went out with a lot of women he was seen as popular. Today many women and even some men dislike guys who have been with a lot of girls.
Many people think dating was easier in the past. In actuality, dating has simply changed over time or been adapted to what was "current" in society. In the 1920's, the United States had just come out of fighting a war and was about to enter the Great Depression. This affected men and women's positions in society, from the home to the workforce to relationships. Times were tough, so dating was stricter. In the 70's however, more women were in the workforce and had as many rights as men did.
Dating is still the budding relationship between two people when they show interest in each other, or as defined by Webster's Dictionary "a social or romantic appointment or engagement".

Merry (TSC0805)
Our Twisted Sistahs Challenge for this week was presented by 101Airborne. This is Kathy's very first TSC presentation, and it's a good one! Kathy asked us to make a Christmas card without any traditional Christmas colors. We teased her a lot about different shades of green and so forth. It's been fun on the bus! LOL! Anyway, we were to use at least one embossing folder (I used the Square Lattice EF AND the Merry Embosslit), one punch or die (I used the Merry Details Sizzlit), we needed to have at least three layers AND at least one embellishment. I think I got it all covered. I used Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stocks and Whisper White Satin Ribbon as well. Oh yes, I also used Basic Pearls in the upper right. I was inspired by a fall card in the September issue of CardMaker Magazine. Everything used to make this card is from Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by!

Traveling Thursdays: The Hollywood Sign
Diposting oleh melisakucantk Kamis, 16 Juni 2011 Label: hollywood sign, mickey's toontown
What an iconic symbol: the Hollywood sign, high above the hills of Los Angeles. Originally constructed as a real estate advertisement, it said "HOLLYWOODLAND." Eventually, the land was removed, Hugh Hefner donated a nice tidy sum to restore it, and voila, it should be good for awhile longer. I actually hiked up the hill (no foolin') to present these pictures to you. The hike is not recommended for those with shortness of breath or shoes you don't want completely ruined by the dirt. Or those who want to stay on the right side of the law.
The goal: get myself AND the letter "D." The result: almost.
Didn't see this until we were leaving. Oops.
See any similarities?

This video comes from Matthew Finnemore, the same visitor who uploaded the video of Pirates of the Caribbean Battle of the Sunken Treasure, which has fans debating whether Shanghai's new version Pirates might have a claim on the title of the world's best dark ride.
On Buzz Lightyear, Shanghai Disneyland has added screen animation throughout the ride, bringing Buzz himself into the action to create a much more dynamic experience than on the other Buzz Lightyear rides. In addition, the set design of the ride abandons the cartoonish appearance of the other rides for a look perhaps best described as "steampunk light."
You can't really judge the gameplay from a video, so I can't speak to how that might have changed on this version of the ride, as well. But the production design of Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue looks like a clear upgrade from previous versions (to me, at least), reflecting what appears to be the trend from Walt Disney Imagineering in this park to blend screens with practical effects to create an experience that's more dynamic than traditional animatronic rides yet more tactile and "real" than strictly film-based attractions.
Shanghai Disneyland is open for invitation-only "trial operations" in advance of its official public opening on June 16.Tweet
Which again, is a key reason why it's unlikely such makeovers will hit the States. To do a version of Shanghi's Pirates, you'd basically need to gut the entire existing "Pirates" rides and rebuild them which would cost even more than doing it from scratch.

DON'T throw away those T-shirts unless they're ready for the rag bag! I just read recently in the local newspaper that our clothes are going to get more expensive because the cost of cotton has doubled and the cost for synthetic material has gone up 50% over the past year. I've always been one who has a hard time disposing of clothing if I think there's still some wear left much to my sister's disgust. But sometimes styles change or my size or I'm just plain tired of the same old outfit and am persuaded to let it go, although I feel by that time no one else wants it either. That's where refashioning and re-purposing comes in. The challenge is to re-make the item into something usable for me or someone else.
Friday night my husband and I and some friends went out to dinner and they brought along a box of clothing to send to the Rez that included T-shirts, shorts and a few sweaters. Although most of the items were in good condition I spied a T-shirt with a small stain and some others that were a little worn around the collar and the creative wheels started turning. What could I turn these into? Well I searched through stacks of patterns in my stash and found a McCalls baby pattern (M4280) that included a pattern for panties that looked promising. A couple of hours later I had 4 colorful pairs of panties, 8 baby washcloths, which were made from the sleeves (backed with flannel) and I still had the fronts of the shirts left with the logos for more creations! The panties could be used for underwear, something highly coveted on the Rez, or I might make a dress to match and they will serve as bloomers.
About those shirt fronts….Got a knotted baby hat from a Sew Baby pattern that took all of 20 minutes to make , made some bibs from a pattern I traced from my grandson's bib he left on his last visit , and some long pants for 3- 12 months, pattern from a Kwik Sew book for babies. Another t-shirt yielded the skirt on a dress for a 4 year old, top part of the dress was salvaged from a 4T shirt I already had that was stained, just cut off the shirt, added the skirt part from measurements in a Sew Little pattern and presto a toddler's dress in under an hour! I've used this idea before but used a woven fabric for the skirt. The loose fitting style is perfect for some of the toddlers on the Rez who are on the chubby side due to their high carb diets. I'm thinking a pair of shorts might be in the works to wear under it. Check out our pattern page for more refashioning patterns and ideas.
So maybe you don't have a lot of spare cash to buy new fabric, take another look at your closet or friends and family's and "mine" yourself some goodies that you can remake into some unique clothing that is really needed on the Rez. While you're at it don't forget to tell them about Pine Ridge and what our group is trying to do. Check out local thrift stores, especially when they have bag sales, where you can load up a bag for a couple of bucks and get enough stuff to keep you busy for weeks! Yes I do use new fabric too but really enjoy recycling and repurposing to keep old clothing from clogging our already bulging landfills.
So come on, share those photos and ideas of your projects that reuse or repurpose as well as those items made from new materials.

Looking after a loved one who has Alzheimer's is a substantial responsibility and really time consuming. It can bring a great deal of tension, aggravation and more. You commit all your time to your loved one and not have time for yourself anymore. You always question: when can I take a break from her? It is not a simple decision, but sometimes it has to be made for your very own well being.
You don't desire household care firms that would let you down. You'll be turning over a lot of things to these teams and you have to ensure they don't take advantage of their positions. Residential care companies need to be prompt with your consultations. They must be credible enough so you can feel at ease about letting them do important errands and looking for you. The majority of these firms offer prescription pick-ups also. Ensure they have an excellent performance history so you know you can breathe simple when you delegate these tasks in their hands.
To end up being a home caretaker you'll have to get approved for the job. You have to know ways to offer CPR and you require a course in First Help. Caretakers will always require to keep their Emergency treatment training approximately date. If they were in trouble with the law or have any law matches pending, they have to go through a background check so the Nursing care agency in nj will see. They need to ensure the caregiver has no record and can work well with other individuals, individuals who cannot protect themselves. Home care Los Angeles caregivers must have tidy backgrounds for this type of work.
The sternest charges were threatened versus the individual who broke the fifth commandment. Everyone who curses his daddy or his mom will be put to death (Leviticus 20:9; Exodus 21:17). Two most substantial things are to be kept in mind. The commandment to honour daddy and mother comes directly after the rule which put down our responsibility to God, and the charge for breaking the rule is the very same as the charge for blasphemy against God (Leviticus 24:15) (Ibid., p. 39).
Your 3rd capacity for earnings in this trade is if your shares get designated, which would net you an additional $1.35 – ($75 strike cost less your $73.65 expense basis).
When you know exactly what sort of care you have to offer your senior household member you can begin looking around. Ask the agency how they hire. Do they need background checks? Are all their staff correctly licensed and experienced? When they supply you with a staff member as a home care professional you can still request a list of references, even. Request for recommendations and also, request proof they are accredited, bonded and insured against accidents.
4). Day off taken by the caretaker is roofed by the firm or any replacements for caregivers are likewise done by the company at purchasers discretion.
I know you understand all that but caregivers routinely have a hard time on with sleep lack without organizing an answer to that crucial well-being concern. You understand about eating well, but you still reside on cookies and ice-cream after 11pm. We all have the tendency to develop bad habits in stressful times. That's our answer to stress.

Carcassonne's box says "Especially good for two players". We agree 🙂
Carcassonne came out in 2000 and has been a worldwide hit ever since. It's a great, easy to play tile-laying game. You take turns placing tiles and maybe claiming them with your little meeples, to score points later on. You want to finish the feature you claim, and the other players probably want to stop you (or at least share your points by connecting up to your feature with a tile claimed by their own meeple).
It's simple and pretty quick to play (we just played in about 40 minutes), good for newcomers and experienced players.
Recommended for all board game collections 🙂

- To evaluate the utility of F-18-FCH-PET/CT and MR imaging with 3-D MR spectroscopy in detecting, localizing, and estimating the volume of initial primary prostate cancer as compared to the current standard work-up using TRUS-guided biopsy. All imaging findings will be correlated with "gold standard" step slice histological examination. The hypothesis is that the combination of noninvasive imaging will improve the preoperative work-up as compared to the current approach.
- To evaluate FCH-PET for the restaging of prostate cancer after biochemical relapse in a large patient cohort. This will run in parallel to the work-up of primary prostate cancer, as the FCH radiopharmaceutical will be available during the time of study at absolutely no cost to patients or CHUV. A number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of F-18-FCH-PET/CT for these patients and this indication is currently not reimbursed by Swiss obligatory health insurance providers.

Primary prostate cancer
Patients referred with a suspicion of prostate cancer based on elevated PSA and rectal examination in whom a prostate biopsy is planned and radical prostatectomy is envisioned in the event of a positive biopsy finding
Prostate cancer relapse
Patients previously treated for prostate cancer and being investigated for biochemical relapse, (mostly in the Urology and Radiation Therapy Department, but not exclusively), for whom surgical or radiation therapy is envisioned in the event of a positive FCH-PET finding
- Sensitivity and specificity of FCH PET/CT, MR imaging, 3-D MR spectroscopy, and fusion PET/MR imaging for the intraprostatic localization of cancer in patients with radical prostatectomy as compared to histology as the gold standard [ Time Frame: After prostatectomy (week 7-9 if Gleason score ≥ 8, week 7-15 if Gleason <8) ]
- For prostate cancer patients with relapse: To determine the impact of FCH-PET imaging for localizing relapse patients in patients with biochemical failure as compared to the standard clinical workup [ Time Frame: After PET/CT, week 1-2 ]
- To determine if imaging allows for a reliable estimation of tumor volume, as these limits imply a significantly different prognosis in elderly patients (insignificant disease = volume <0.5 cm3 vs. significant disease ≥0.5 cm3) [ Time Frame: After prostatectomy (week 7-9 if Gleason score ≥ 8, week 7-15 if Gleason <8) ]
- To determine the utility of dynamic PET imaging using 10 × 1 min acquisitions (0-9 min) as compared to a 5 min static acquisition starting 3 min and a delayed static whole-body acquisition (1 hour after radiotracer injection) [ Time Frame: During PET/CT, week 1-2 ]
- To determine the impact of parametric PET/CT imaging based on dynamic PET acquisi¬tions with kinetic modeling [ Time Frame: During PET/CT, week 1-2 ]
- Impact of image-guided biopsies in obtaining adequate tissue samples for histological examination as compared to TRUS-guided extended systematic 12-core biopsies [ Time Frame: After TRUS biopsies (week 3) ]
- For prostate cancer patients with relapse: To investigate the potential link between the overall accuracy of FCH and the serum androgen profile (total and free testosterone level) at the day of PET acquisition [ Time Frame: After PET/CT, week 1-2 ]

Sims 2 Zombie Apocalypse Challenge
Attempted by: Mimi
For more information about this challenge, go to this page.
Only few survivors remain.\
As far as I know, there are only ten of us braving the constant zombie attacks which plague our small town of Lesalia Valley. Here is some information about us, those who survived to tell the tale.
First, let's start out with me.
My name is Milena Loxley, and I've lived in Lesalia Valley all my life. It used to be such a beautiful place, but now it has become a desolate wasteland. I had a husband who I loved very much, but unfortunately he was infected. When he tried to attack me, I had to defend myself. Anyway, there wasn't much of my husband left in that "thing". It was mainly his body reanimated without a mind. Since the infection broke out, I've been training with my sais to help defend myself against any attacker. I recently left my home in search of other survivors.
The first survivor I met was a man named Sebastian Wharton.
I saw him fighting through a crowd of zombies. His katana skills were very impressive. We joined up to fight the zombies together. He told me that he used to live in a town called Pleasentview, but he had to move here because of his job. He was a chemist and was sent here to find a cure for the infection. He told me one morning as he awoke in his new house, a swarm of zombies were creeping towards him. He grabbed his katana and fought for his life. He was also in search of survivors. So, we left together in search of survivors. It wasn't long until we found more.
I can't believe our luck. We met two more survivors today.
We were passing by an old boarding school today when we met up with Lavian and Katie Hollis. Lavian told me that when she heard about the outbreak, she rushed all the way to her daughter Katie's boarding school to make sure she was all right. She found Katie crouching in a corner with a loaded assault rifle in her hands. When Katie finally recognized her mom, she gave her a big hug. Katie told us that most of the kids were gone for spring holiday, so only she and two other students and one teacher were there. The teacher and the other students became infected, so Katie had to kill them in self defense. Since the boarding school was empty and had a lot of room, we moved in and made it our base. Lavian is a master archer. She keeps watch at night. She vows not to kill any zombies. She told us she had invented a cure and she puts it on the tips of her arrows. She hasn't cured any zombies yet, but she refuses to lose hope.
A week passed. Then we met even more survivors.
Lavian and I were searching some old row house apartments when this little boy came up to us begging for food and water. We took pity on him and gave him most of our supplies for the day. We asked the boy if he was the only one living there. He told us that he was with his father and rushed to bring him out so that we could meet him. This man appears from the door dressed like a ninja with a large scar running down his face. He tells us his name is Jonathan Millender and his son's name is Joey. They have been stuck at the row houses ever since the outbreak and feared that they were the only two who survived. They both looked very tired and hungry so we invited them to live with all the other survivors at the boarding school. They gladly accepted. Jonathan is skilled with his hidden blades. He can kill a zombie faster than anyone I've ever seen.
Three days later, we hear a cry of help from a fellow survivor.
I rushed down to calm her down. She told me her name is Samantha Ottamas and she had been chased by a swarm of zombies. I tell her to run inside and called for backup. As soon as everyone arrives, the zombies are at our doorstep. We fended them off and finally killed the last one. After that I talked to Samantha. She told me that she was looking for her kids. It seems that her husband get infected and run off with them. I told her that we will do our best to find them. I was amazed of how she outran all the zombies. She looked like she was at least eight months pregnant with no means of protecting herself.
Lavian brings another survivor to the boarding school.
Lavian returns from the hunt with a young girl dressed in gypsy clothes. Lavian introduces her as Ginger Newson. Ginger tells us that her two brothers and her little sister were infected. She has been searching for her toddler brother and sister but had no luck finding them. She's afraid that her infected siblings killed them. What a shame. They're only toddlers! Ginger tells us that she has the gift of magic, and that is how she could defend herself. She had been camped out in an abandoned clothing store when Lavian found her. We all welcome her to our base and tell her that she can stay as long as she likes.
Ginger tells us how the outbreak began.
Ginger told us, "A while back, a new family moved to Lesalia Valley named the Travelers. This family had been to many foreign lands and were ready to settle down here. They were Trent and Trisha, who were husband and wife; and their little girl Tina. One day, Trisha became very ill and soon died. Shortly after she died, her body was reanimated. Unfortunately for the Travelers, Trisha had not returned to them. She was merely a zombie lacking any of Trisha's intelligence and personality. Soon after, Trent was infected and then spread the infection to his daughter. They left the house to scavenge at night but had no luck. Then one day, Tina showed up at Nathan Gavigan's door dressed in her girl scout outfit. She told him, 'You buy cookies!'. At that moment, Nathan's wife Mary entered the room. Tina quickly burst through the door and attacked Mary. Mary was then infected, and then she infected her husband. From there, it spread. The more people who were infected, the quicker the infection spread. That is how it all got started, with a knock on the door."
More Zombies attack.
Katie was keeping the morning watch when she was surprised by two zombies. She quickly grabbed her rifle and dispatched them. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Soon more came, and Katie called for help. So we sent Samantha and Joey to the safe room and proceeded to launch a full scale attack. By the end of the day, the only thing that remained were bloodstains on the ground and zombie ashes.
Samantha becomes infected.
Unbeknownst to the rest of us, Samantha did not go to the safe room with Joey that day. She went to the backyard to help fight off the zombie siege. She then fell sick. We nursed her for four days, then she died. She became a zombie and charged after Sebastian. Sebastian was forced to kill her. We were all heartbroken. We had a small ceremony and buried her ashes at Woodland Chapel. We found that burning the body of a dead zombie is the only sure way to get rid of them. I've seen zombies' legs and arms moving around by themselves. Not a pretty sight to see. We returned back to the base minus one survivor wondering if we would ever find any more, or if we were only ones left.
Turns out, we weren't.
When we returned to the boarding school, Joey told us that he heard some rumbling going on above his room. We sent Ginger into the weapons storeroom to find out if anyone was there. She encountered four bandits helping themselves to our artillery. She called for Katie who shot them all on the spot except for one woman who got away. She returned later that night infected, so I had to kill her. Lavian tried to use the special zombie cure arrows on her, but they failed to work. Lavian was crushed. Joey was crushed when he checked the food pantry and found that the bandits had taken everything. Now we must catch fish and grow our own food. It's going to be a tough summer.
Jonathan and Lavian find love.
The two have gotten more friendly with each other every day since we found Jonathan and his son. One day I saw the two kissing in the front yard. Its great that even in the chaos we face on a daily basis, two people can find love. I hope to find love someday. Until then I'll keep hope that someday Sebastian will see me as more than a comrade in arms.
Great! More Zombies!
Just when we thought we had eradicated all of the infected zombies, Katie returns with news of a secret zombie base located in an abandoned nightclub. We all load up and walk down there hoping that this battle will be our last. There were so many. I couldn't believe it. The nightclub was packed with zombies feasting on human flesh. Jonathan took Joey outside to save him from such a traumatizing sight. Katie fired her rifle, and Lavian fired arrows into the masses. When some zombies caught sight of us, we had no chance but to run back outside. They soon followed, and it was a massacre. Lavian ran out of arrows and had to use one of Katie's extra guns. The streets ran red with zombie blood. After we killed the last one, we moved all of the zombie corpses back into the nightclub. Sebastian took the propane tanks from two grills outside the club and doused the club's exterior. Afterward, Ginger did some kind of fire spell, and the whole club was ablaze. Now, that's what I call a propane nightmare!
We find the last of the survivors.
One night, two teens and one child knocked on our door. They said that they had searched the whole town and could not find any survivors. They were relieved when they found us. The teenage boy's name is Isiah Gavigan. He verified the story of how the infection spread. He was at his house the day that Tina Traveler attacked his mother. He ran away after his father was infected, and he had to kill them both. The teenage girl's name is Penny Thayer. She was living with her aunt Meadow when she got infected. They found each other and hid out in a small shack on the outskirts of town. The young boy's name is Tommy Ottamas. He was lost and looking for his mother when he found the two teenagers' hideout. They have been taking care of him ever since. When Tommy asked if we had seen his mommy, Sebastian took him aside and gently told him about what happened to her. Tears rolled down his little cheeks. It was the saddest thing I'd ever seen. The two teenagers told us about a small group of zombies camped out at the house previously owned by the bandits. We'll have to check on this tomorrow. It's time to get a little rest.
Sebastian finally reveals his true feelings.
The next morning we went to the bandits' shack and saw three zombies eating their dead zombie cohorts. I swiftly killed the first one with my sais. He didn't see what hit him. Katie shot one of them in the head. Blood and gore was everywhere. The last zombie tried to run, but Sebastian caught up with him. He had a brush with death as the zombie grabbed an old kitchen knife and stabbed him multiple times. I was so afraid that he was going to get infected. Before the zombie knew it, Jonathan swooped up behind, and cut the zombie's head off with his hidden blade. We burned the bodies and waited until morning the next day to see if more zombies would show up. We returned home sure that we killed the last zombies and the zombie apocalypse is over. Sebastian was telling me about his brush with death that day when he said, "The thing that I regretted the most is that if I got infected or killed, you would never know how much I love you." We ended up in each others arms. Now that all the zombies are gone, everyday life can start back again. Everyone was the happiest I've ever seen them. It's funny how the end can turn into a new beginning.

Visionary thriller destined to become a favorite among spiritual readers
Many self-published novels promise a thrill ride with a touch of romance and spiritual insight, but few deliver. "Mixer: on a Strand" by Theresa Nash delivers like downtown Denver on the Fourth of July, excelling both as a multi-dimensional thriller and as an illumination of the nature of the cosmos. Fast paced and well written, the Mixer series is sure to become a favorite among readers of visionary/metaphysical/spiritual fiction.
Story: Secrets kill. Miracles go wrong. Just when you're resigned to it, an ordinary life can turn…extraordinary. Merri s a moderately successful businesswoman with a pleasant life. But below the surface, nothing is as it seems. Family hides secrets, friends are foes, and dreams wait to awaken a long-forgotten truth. Once upon another life, Merri rode the Strands of life, threw miracles, and hobnobbed with Angels. Then a miracle went wrong, and she fell, and forgot, and became ordinary. Now she's on the lam with her blind date and a police detective—and she doesn't trust either of them. Mixer is Visionary Fiction for a new age, that illuminates the miraculous in the ordinary and explores the relevance of destiny in a world of free will.
Spiritual/metaphysical content: Medium. Nash sets up a rich and detailed ethereal dimension with Guides, Miracle Mixers, Angels, and a throng of characters both angelic and bedeviled. These light beings can influence the physical world, but the key is free choice, which is available to every sentient being in the cosmos. According to Nash, free choice is the only means for advancement, and the only means for decline.
Beyond the dimension of lightworkers, there isn't much spirituality in the corporeal side of the story. Characters in the ethereal dimension spend a lot of time discussing the nature of reality: What is fate? Destiny? Free choice? The importance of intent? The will of the Creator? Nash notes that "Free will without context is just chaos. Souls need purpose." She goes on to say, "Spirit wants to grow! But our measly little souls just want to contract, to huddle like frightened infants in the bosom of their mother." I have certainly felt that dichotomy of existence–the drive to grow spiritually versus the need for stability and safety in the physical world.
Nash's cosmology is thought provoking and easy to follow. And by placing all the metaphysical musings in the context of the parallel dimension, it frees her earth-bound characters from the need to preach in order to convey the spiritual theme of the story–a trap many spiritual/metaphysical/visionary authors fall prey to.
My take: Nash has conjured up a strong, sassy, and appealing heroine in Merri, a lightworker who accidentally incarnates on earth. Her character is outspoken yet endearing, and she outshines the male characters who try to save her but mostly get in her way. In addition to the earth and lightworker dimensions, this visionary novel also operates across time; Merri experiences a parallel story from the 1920s that holds the key to saving the cosmos.
It's a bit too convenient that Merri's kooky millionaire ex-fiance and best friend pops up with whatever it takes to bail Merri out of a scrape, whether it be houses with bullet-proof windows, cabins with trap doors, or conveniently located escape vehicles. However, Nash imbues the character with enough quirky detail and complex layers to save him from becoming a mere plot contrivance.
As an author, Nash has a light touch, leavening her scenes with dollops of humor. The few romantic interludes are touching, written with a sweetness and delicacy not often seen in thrillers. And a proper thriller this is, from the first door that gets bashed in to the fate of the seen and unseen universes riding upon an impossible goal. Mixer is an epic battle of good and evil that unfolds across multiple realities–the lightworkers against the darklighters, Merri and her friends against a misinformed police force–and across multiple timelines. The tension builds quickly in all three dimensions, prompting the reader to turn the pages faster and faster, until the multiple realities come careening together into an explosive–and thoroughly entertaining–climax.

On New Year's Eve, a friend and I decided to bite the bullet, pay the money, and sign up to run the Country Music Half Marathon on April 30.
Let's just say this: even though I've now logged more than 500 miles with Nike+, I am not a runner.
At least I don't feel like one. Not a real one anyway. I don't wake up yearning for a run. Most of the time, I get dressed in my running gear and force myself to get out there and do it. And there are moments during the run in which I flat out hate running, myself for attempting to do this, and those tall, lanky people who can run 400 times faster than me and don't turn the color of a tomato.
But the real training starts this week. We've both been trying to increase our endurance these last few weeks, and from here on out, our long runs on Saturday will increase each week, culminating in 12 miles about a week before race day. It's time to get serious. And a part of me is scared.
This is going to take a lot of effort, dedication, and focus. Plus, I've had this nagging problem with calf pain/cramps. And I still don't feel like a "real" runner because I'm not breaking any records and right now, none of the distances seem easier.
But every once in awhile, it's good to try something you're not sure you can do. It's good to be focused, dedicated, and held accountable to do what you said.
So the real work starts today. I'll keep you up to date on my progress!

Last week, one of my fellow Smart Women, wrote about going to visit a plantation that would be perfect for a setting of a book. She was right. This past week, I've been reading books by English author, Betty Neels. I love reading books set in England, historical or contemporary, or books written by English authors.
One of the fun things of reading authors from other countries is how they use words common for that country's readers, but may be unknown to American readers. I often look up these words, just to see what they are, so for fun, I thought I would tell you some of those words.
Airing Cupboard: this is generally a closet, often a walk-in, built around the hot water heater or central heater and with shelves for keeping linens damp-free.
Gentleman's Relish: an anchovy paste served on toast at tea time. I really thought this sounded yummy until I realized what was the main ingredient.
Harpic: You know how American books might mention a brand name product. This is a brand name for a toilet cleaner, around in England since 1929,
Toad-in-the-hole: believe it or not, this is a dish. Sounds grim, doesn't it? But it's basically browned sausage links baked in a flour-egg batter. A fast and simple dish.
Beans on toast: and this is just what it says…beans on toast. In 1886, Heinz Baked Beans hit the English as an exotic food item. Exotic enough to be considered breakfast food along with kippers and rashers of bacon. The beans in tomato sauce a literally spread on toast. Even today, they are considered a cheap protein food and as many as 2.3 million Brits eat this daily. One interesting note, in World War II, the single piece of pork in each can was removed due to rationing and was never returned to the Heinz sold in England.
Now, wasn't that entertaining? Just goes to show, you never know what you're going to learn when you read. Especially if you go that extra mile and look up the people, places, or words that intrigue you.

Do the locomotion
Well, I spent this last week playing the fabulous, marvelous, 2009 game-of-the-year (by anticipation) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. All the hype is justified. That's a game you have to play at least once in your life. While all the levels are somehow cool and wonderful, the game features an stage were you are aboard of a train going from Nepal to Tibet.
The experience is spectacular, the visual is jaw dropping and the action is amazing! You even have an Hind – that badass Russian copter – blowing up the carts in an desperate attempt to kill you. It's simply breathtaking!

I started this blog last summer to practice writing informally. I wrote consistently during my study abroad trip to Ireland, but quickly got out of habit once the fall semester began. Today, I resolve to be more consistent. I want to share with you – all three of you (hey Mom!) – what I want to accomplish this year. I believe accountability encourages good practices, so please help me in whatever manner to follow through with my resolutions this year.
1. Maintain a regular blog.
Ideally, I'd like to post once a week. But who am I kidding? I know that things come up: homework, sorority meetings, family lunches,
Netflix binging personal time. So realistically, "regular" will mean once a month. But I'm holding myself to it. I will blog at least once a month this year.
2. Journal daily
In high school, I kept a detailed and well-organized journal. I have three books in my drawer full of mundane entries like what I ate for lunch, what "it" ZHS couple broke up, and why I hated chemistry so much. But every once in a while, I would write something really thoughtful and interesting for a 15-year-old. I read them from time to time, and love to see how I've grown. I know that years from now I will still treasure those diaries. Somehow I fell out of practice during college, but this year I resolve to bring that habit back. I want my senior year at LSU documented, and I want to write in my journal every day.
3. Floss daily
Because, good hygiene.
4. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Flossing falls under this. I also want to exercise regularly, take my vitamins, drink lots of water, eat when I'm hungry, stop eating when I'm full, and get a good night's rest. I'm not trying to lose weight, or fit a size smaller dress. I actually am pretty confident in how I look. But, I'm not confident in how I feel about my overall health. I can always treat my body better. Plus, being healthy physically means less stress mentally. I always need less stress.
5. Graduate with honors
I've got a good GPA. I just have to maintain it to have that asterisk by my name in December.
6. Come to terms with graduation
I am on track to earn my undergraduate from LSU in December. I'm excited for what's to come after graduation, but I'm scared to end this chapter of my life. 2014 will be a year of lasts: last football game, last formal dance, last night in the ZTA house. I'm probably going to cry many times this year. But, I resolve to have a positive outlook for what's to come. I resolve to do my best and live in the moment.
7. Priortize
I like learning new things. I like earning A's. I like getting started with my career. But ultimately, those things don't matter. When it comes down to it, the things I love most in this world are my family, boyfriend, friends, sisters and church. This year, I resolve to love these people unconditionally. To support them, to love them, to care for them, to spend time with them, to have fun with them. I resolve to go to church every Sunday to worship God with my family and friends, and then to enjoy fellowship at lunch after. I resolve to make time for my boyfriend in our hectic schedules. I resolve to actually get out and go to dinner, or the movies, or even
Reggie's parties with my sorority sisters. These memories will last a lifetime. I want to make sure I make good ones this year with the people I love the most.
8. Live the ritual
I will serve my chapter during 2014 as the ritual chair. I want to lead by example. I will learn those rituals forward and backward, and I will live them out. Even though it is secret, a stranger should know what ZTA stands for based on my actions and words. I resolve to teach my chapter what the ritual means, and show them how to live it out.
9. Pray every morning
I usually pray right before bed, but this year I want to pray in the morning as well. What better way to begin the day than in conversation with God?
10. Not beat myself up if I break these resolutions
I'm human. I will mess up. I really want to attain all these goals, but I also need to realize that it's ok if I fall short. I can always try again next year.

Alternate Angle Shows Just How Badly Dodgers Fans Stomped Out An Angels Fan (VIDEO)
He definitely felt this the following morning.
Earlier this week, footage surfaced of an all-out chaotic brawl that broke out between Dodgers and Angels fans at Dodger Stadium. It ended with one guy being pummeled into a bloody mess.
"It all went down in the pavilion section of Dodger Stadium when 2 fans started barking at each other … but things quickly turned physical when they dragged each other to the ground and started throwing punches.
Other fans joined in by throwing haymakers and beers … while a mother and her crying daughter try to separate themselves from the altercation just a few feet away.
Stadium security and off-duty cops broke up the fight … but surprisingly, no arrests were made and the aggressors left the game on their own. A police report was not made for the incident."
On Thursday, an alternate angle emerged of the aftermath and you can clearly see the Angels fan got the absolute worst of the fight.

Looking ahead to today
For this week's Sunday Salon (click on the badge at left to be taken to the site to see what it's all about), I plan on continuing to read A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin, which I picked up at the library on Friday. When I saw it on the shelf as I was shelf-reading, I was just going to add it to my listography list of books "found" while shelf-reading. Then I decided with already 85 books in that list, and a less and less likely chance that I'll get to even a quarter of them, I thought to myself, "Why not just pick it up now and read it?" So far, I'm glad I'm did — and I just learned this morning that the book is being made into a movie scheduled to be released next year.
In short, the book is about a retired Sherlock Holmes, at the age of 93 in 1947, living in a Sussex farmhouse and his struggles with memory, including an old case and a recent trip to postwar Japan.
Also today, I might continue reading Good Behavior by Donald E. Westlake, the sixth novel involving burglar and, more often than not, bungler John Dortmunder. This is all dependent on whether or not I end up taking my regular Sunday afternoon nap, which all signs today, especially with a cloudy, rainy day scheduled, point toward a very good probability of happening.
If I can finish the Cullin book, which I believe I should be able to do so today, maybe even this morning before Mass, I might get to moving a bookshelf from our living room into our office. What has necessitated this is our cat, who likes, for some reason, to knock books off aforementioned bookshelf. Another bookshelf we have in our living room is in disarray, in part due to our cat knocking books off there too.
Finally later today, my wife and I have been invited to a picnic and a movie with a friend. The movie is Amélie.
Looking back at this week, this month
Earlier this week, I reviewed my reading so far this month and have revised my reading plans for the next few months as a result. I also reviewed Appointment with Death by Agatha Christie, my lone entry in this month's Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Carnival, sponsored by fellow Sunday Saloner Kerrie from Mysteries in Paradise. However, 10 other contributors, including Kerrie herself, had 29 other posts for the carnival, which I encourage to peruse at your leisure, perhaps today even.
I will leave you with the trailer for Amélie.

"And when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to the one who is in secret…for God knows what you need before you ask. Pray, then, like this:"
"God, make me a better person. Make me kind."
"Oh, Lord, forgive me for my jealousy…my pride…my anger."
"God, am I doing the right thing? Please let this be the right thing."
"Help me love him…help me love her."

To ugly French guys walk into the club. The one looks like a Teletubby, the other like a Sasquatch. Telebubby goes to the ATM to pull out money. Sasquatch orders importantly drinks at the bar. I go up to them to friendly greet them. Telebubby feels offended and his privacy intruded. He says to me in his broken accent, "We are just here to spent some private time together and talk." Why the fuck do men come into a strip club when they want to talk to their buddy only. Go take your helmet off and shave your hairy Sasquatch ass right after you finish your fine bottle of French wine.

Dr Venkatesh Movva of Movva Sports has been a dreamer besides excelling in sports medicine, founding Indian Gridiron League to expand the American football in India, devoting time to nurture young talents and offering relief to people across the globe through regenerative orthopaedics.
A native of Vijaywada, Dr Movva had left for the US after his medical graduation in India. Both sports and medicine have been his lifelong passions. "I chased my dream with immense dedication," says Dr Movva, an athlete and medical practitioner. He specialised in sports medicine and regenerative medicine in the US.
He was instrumental in launching a professional American-style football league in India. The goal has been to provide fast-paced, action-packed entertaining sport to the city of Hyderabad.
"We are creating opportunities for local youth to excel in the sport and enjoy benefits of being professional athletes," says Dr Movva, who had served as president of Elite Football League of India and handled operations in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
He was fortunate to have a strong and supportive family that let him create an identity outside of the family business. He broke away from the family norm to pursue medical education. "The love for sports and well-being led me to become a sports medicine and regenerative orthopaedics expert," he says.
He founded Regenorthosport for Regenerative and Sports Medicine, pioneering regenerative stem cell therapies.
"As part of a group, I was involved in interventional orthopaedics with usage of autologous stem cells for treating commonly occuring sports and degenerative conditions. We brought the same high quality medical centres to India," says Dr Movva, who has been living in the US for the past 25 years. He has performed more than 2,000 Regenexx procedures.
The consistent challenge for him in early stages as an entrepreneur was to convince the team to believe in his dream. "Both my ventures had teething troubles as they were new and required tremendous amount of validation, not just from the team, but from people who would eventually experience our services. Once you are able to overcome these challenges, it is a smooth ride," says Dr Movva.
"I had full confidence that the Indian public would embrace the medical technology we introduced," says Dr Movva, whose customers range from young athletes to older adults.
The centre he launched in Hyderabad is the country's only specialised medical centre providing the Regenexx procedure. His business venture offers regenerative therapy for commonly occuring degenerative orthopaedic conditions for people around the world.
When you look at knee osteoarthritis, the only option used to be total knee replacement. "With regenerative stem cell technology we can now heal and regenerate cartilage, meniscus and ligaments to reverse arthritis and in turn, avoid any major surgery," he says. His first client was his mother.
So, what's been his mantra for success? "I continue to strengthen core areas I believe I have the ability to do better. My thrust has been service of the highest quality and standard, both as an entrepreneur and a medical practitioner. Some of the finest lessons I have picked up are family values, management system and the spirit of entrepreneurship", says Dr Movva.
