Investors Should Welcome Shell's Scrapped Scrip
Move to Make Dividend Payouts in Cash Should Bode Well for Investors
Royal Dutch Shell is making a change that should pay dividends. The U.K. oil and gas major Thursday axed its scrip dividend program, under which shareholders could choose to receive their payouts in stock rather than cash.
The move—which ends an inefficient state of affairs created by Shell's dual share structure and Dutch tax rules—should save the company money. As important, it suggests Shell is feeling confident about its cash flows....

CHICAGO – Orange Day is Friday (July 27, 2018)… as in "Orange is the New Black." That's when Season Six will be available for download from Netflix, as the online series continues to showcase the women inmates at Litchfield Penitentiary, three of whom are played by Taylor Schilling (Piper), Kate Mulgrew (Red) and Dascha Polanco (Daya).
Film Review: Eye-Opening Cost of Playing Sports in 'Head Games'
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – A father speaks through tears about the teammates for his deceased son standing at the funeral in the balcony paying honor to their lost captain and it's impossible not to ask the daunting question at the core of "Head Games," the new documentary from the great Steve James ("Hoop Dreams," "The Interrupters") that opens this weekend at the Siskel Film Center – how much longer can this go on? How much longer can we let grown men and women ruin their lives by repeated head injuries the NFL, NHL, and other sports? And how long can we let kids do the same? As a reporter says candidly, "A lot of people don't want to believe this is as serious as it is." We have to start believing.
"Head Games" is an eye-opener. It's a film that teaches while it essentially terrifies. I have two young boys, and when they express interest in playing sports, it will be impossible not to remember what I learned from this film. The fact is there are a lot of myths out there about concussions. First, the very definition of a concussion is questionable. All the times a player felt dizzy or "shook it off," that may have done the same brain damage as a concussion. Second, most of the damage is irreversible. The myth that a player is healed enough after a few days to get another one? Nonsense. When a doctor is asked how long players should wait to return to play after a concussion? "Fifty years." Another suggests, slightly more reasonably, that three diagnosed concussions should force a player to retire from the sport. And what about this terrifying conjecture? What if it's not the concussions but the hundreds of sub-concussive hits that are doing the most damage?
|Read Brian Tallerico's full review of "Head Games" in our reviews section.
Can you imagine? The definition of concussions are lowered to more accurately reflect the damage and three of them ends a career? The NFL would be over as James' film terrifyingly notes how many football players are getting head injuries before they're old enough to drive much less play in the NFL. And we all know the billion-dollar machine that is the NFL is not going anywhere. And so Christopher Nowinski, who wrote the book "Head Games: Football's Concussion Crisis," which was the inspiration for this film, faces a lot of resistance. He faces coaches who schedule mandatory weight training during his symposiums. And, in a riveting scene, an athletic director who suggests it's not a problem because of all the players who don't have concussion symptoms (to which Nowinski brilliantly responds that it's equivalent to saying that not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer as a defense for lighting up.)

Jared Kushner Calls Kim Jong-un "Totally Unqualified Person" Who Got Job Only Through Nepotism

Jared Kushner Calls Kim Jong-un "Totally Unqualified Person" Who Got Job Only Through Nepotism
19 April 17
The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."
ffering a stunningly blunt appraisal of the North Korean leader, Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that Kim Jong-un was a "totally unqualified person" who attained his position of power only through nepotism.
"Here you have a guy who has no government experience, and he's in charge of the whole thing," Kushner said, in an interview with Fox News. "It's the craziest thing I've ever heard of."
Kushner noted that, instead of working his way up and acquiring the skills necessary to do his job, the North Korean leader had been given huge responsibilities and power "only because of family connections."
"There's only one word for that," he said. "Nepotism."
Kushner called the notion of such an unqualified person conducting foreign policy "beyond belief."
"I mean, why would you let someone with no experience in foreign affairs anywhere near such important decisions?" Kushner added. "Why would anyone take someone like that seriously?"
Kushner said that the people of North Korea must look at the powerful position attained by the "totally inexperienced and unqualified" Kim and shake their heads. "They've got to be asking themselves, 'Who elected him?' " he said.
A note of caution regarding our comment sections:
For months a stream of media reports have warned of coordinated propaganda efforts targeting political websites based in the U.S., particularly in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
We too were alarmed at the patterns we were, and still are, seeing. It is clear that the provocateurs are far more savvy, disciplined, and purposeful than anything we have ever experienced before.
It is also clear that we still have elements of the same activity in our article discussion forums at this time.
We have hosted and encouraged reader expression since the turn of the century. The comments of our readers are the most vibrant, best-used interactive feature at Reader Supported News. Accordingly, we are strongly resistant to interrupting those services.
It is, however, important to note that in all likelihood hardened operatives are attempting to shape the dialog our community seeks to engage in.
Adapt and overcome.

Founder, Reader Supported News
Now good sense, decency, honesty and integrity would be useful qualities. Too bad they are so hard to find in our political class.
Sen. Sanders has all these.
I can also see The Donald, Sean Spicer, Donald, Jr., Eric, and Ivanka saying it, too!
But I am still dismayed that both RSN and the New Yorker find it necessary to label his pieces as satire. The New Yorker started by calling them "The News, Reshuffled"; now they are "Not the News."
But then, the CBC has a program sometimes called "This Is That," which does fake news stories, and the best part of the program is when they play phone calls they get from listeners who think they are real.
So, this guy claims Trump is qualified for the job as President ???????????
L.O.L. Yeah right.

Actress Farah Alvin was hospitalized earlier this week (begs09Jul12) after she was injured during rehearsals for a New York stage show.
Alvin was preparing for upcoming production The Last Smoker in America on Tuesday (10Jul12) when a sign from the set struck her on the head.
She was taken to the city's Roosevelt Hospital and had to wait for more than two hours to see a doctor, leaving producers worried they would have to call off that evening's dress rehearsal.
However, medics told Alvin she had just suffered "a nasty bump" and she was allowed to return to the show, according to the New York Post's gossip column Page Six.

Zombie Grinder is the debut game of TwinDrills, an indie game development duo made up of Tim 'Infini' Leonard and Jordan 'Jordizzle' Chewning. It's a multi-platform (windows, mac, Linux!) (also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth. The game sports a variety of different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.

What are peoples thoughts on implementing a full user-inventory, loot drops, selling-to-shop, one-use-items, etc?
Something me and jordan have been kicking around, curious what people think of the idea.
|Jul 13 2012 Anchor
I think that would be very enjoyable. It would bring more use to the coins, and in my opinion bring more life to the game possibly.
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
From arcade ZG slowly becomes to RPG...
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
Yeh, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing tho ...
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
I wouldn't mind an inventory, although if one was added I dont think there should be so many guns on hotkeys, you should change the amount of hotkeys to three or four with the pistol always equipped. Than you would bring up the inventory and assign items or weapons to the other two/three. Also removing use on pickup for health and ammo would be nice, especially if you add a drop equipped item button for those situations when you have a bunch of health items and your mate is dying.
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
My primary concern really is to keep things very simple, I want to keep a one-to-one mapping with controllers, so there can't be any complicated mouse-based menus.
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
You could use a similar but simplified stile to fallout 3 or borderlands as they have easy to navigate menus with a controller
Edited by: Fishfreeek
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
Sounds like a good idea to me, but do you plan on having a weapon system where better weapons with better attributes is always a goal like in Borderlands, Diablo, And even Terraria or do you plan on making set weapons that you could find with set attributes?
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
I'm not to fond of the different attributes idea espessially as the stats are going to be removed from hats soon leaving only weapons (with socketable gems in their place)
as for pickups I think it would be a good idea for zombies to not drop hats and guns. only being able to get ammo, health and gems from them. As for the ammo drops if a zombie would drop ammo it should have an 80% chance to drop ammo for the gun it was killed with and the last 20 would be a random ammo (so you can lol when you friend despretly needs magnum ammo and gets shotgun ammo) (also if an ammo drop triggers but the zombie is killed with a pistol, the 80% would drop nothing)
if you wanted a gun or hat you would have to buy one from a shopkeeper (perhaps have them spawn on the survival levels as well as the hub allowing you to take your weapon to other levels), You could also make ammo drops a small chance overall (like 5 or 2%) and be able to buy ammo from the shop.
Of corse if you are going to have a shopkeeper in the survival levels you need to revamp the money system, I would suggest removing the points altogether and just having wave number with your money displayed in the top right.
Edited by: Fishfreeek
|Jul 14 2012 Anchor
Hats will remain with stats. Only difference is the users will assign the stats with gems. It makes it so certain hats aren't more powerful, and therefore favored over others, since they were originally intended for character customization, and not for making your character stronger. It sucks to spend my free time drawing new items and not see them get used because they either get stats that aren't as good as current items. Plus the gem system adds more potential for drops and such from chests and boss zombies !
|Jul 15 2012 Anchor
yeah thats what I ment, sorry if it wasnt clear enough.
Edited by: Fishfreeek
|Jul 16 2012 Anchor
More customization, you can use a Hat plus a Hair Style, not just a Hat or just a Hair Style. It would be great and Fashion Itens, that can be placed over your real equips. I hate using some itens just to have powerfull stats, but with an stupid item, like horns. Haha. The drop idea is great, it would be nice if there are bosses in the game that drop rare itens or things that you can not buy in the shop.
|Jul 29 2012 Anchor
Maybe instead of an inventory, maybe have like Sets you can choose from. For example Set 1 has this hair this gun and this accessory, while Set 2 has this other hair, this other gun and accessory. And you can only change sets once you die and while you wait?
|Jul 29 2012 Anchor
Basically you want create-a-class from cod then?
|Jul 29 2012 Anchor
Create a class is going to be rendered useless in the gemcrafting patch, since hats will no longer have stats. It'd basically be gunswapping, and most maps offer almost every gun, and when you respawn you start with your main gun anyways.
|Sep 3 2012 Anchor
Equipment: There is something missing. I don't know if it
From my experience (i don't know is there a mmo, multiplayer oldschool or 2d online game which i haven't play) game should be more skill based and less time consuming/leveling up/item collecting to be good player and this game is almost there, but there has to be an element of collecting special item which you can't buy or obtain in any other way than playing.
Edited by: skribble
|Sep 3 2012 Anchor
I think more loot drops and one time use items (like smart bombs or malotovs?) would be awesome.
my only qualm with the current system is that gem percentages a waaaay lower than what hats once hat, it seem to be more fair to have legit gems give atleast 50-60 percent of their attributes (as not to have 200% damage hats for instance). the way the current system works, a player speccing for legit gems on every item on a single stat is 60%, but that also rules out every other stat they could get, plus the fact legits are extremely difficult to obtain for the average player.
that, or add more slots to everything, otherwise, adding money to trading would be a very nice addition to the trading system.

Everything you need to understand or teach Novelty by John Crowley.
Published two years after the critically well-received novel Aegypt (1987), Crowley's collection of short fiction, Novelty, explores the relationship between time and creation in four stories which have widely divergent settings.
The first story, "The Nightingale Sings at Night," retells the creation and fall of mankind. In Crowley's version, Eden is presided over by Dame Kind, a figure whose name can be directly traced to the medieval allegorical tradition from which the modern character Mother Nature is drawn. The fall of the first man and woman is precipitated by the Moon, whose changing phases lead Man and Woman to discover time, and thereby, death.
The second piece, "Great Work of Time," is the most ambitious story in the collection. Set during the last days of the British Empire, this short novel investigates the possibility of time travel and how it might be used to create...

Patient Safety Video Showcases Efforts of California Hospitals to Improve Quality, Safety of Care
Oct 18, 2011, 01:57 ET
Hospital Case Studies Can Be Found at www.CaringisourCalling.org
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Every year, more than 50,000 sick or premature babies are delivered in California's community hospitals. Typically, these vulnerable infants have immature immune systems and are at risk for acquiring infections. To address this problem, Riverside County Regional Medical Center in 2009 implemented a new program to eliminate infections in its neonatal unit. As a result, the hospital has reduced its annual infection rate to zero and saved the lives of countless newborns.
Riverside County Medical Center is one of three hospital "case studies" featured in a new 4-minute video now available on the California Hospital Association's (CHA's) new patient safety website – www.CaringisourCalling.org.
"Hospitals across California are making huge strides in improving the quality and safety of patient care through focused initiatives based on best practices," said CHA President/CEO C. Duane Dauner. "Health care professionals know that quality improvement is an ongoing, continuous process. By sharing these case studies, we hope to advance the knowledge of clinicians and the public alike."
Based on evidence-based practices, clinicians at Riverside County Medical Center are using sterile gloves and surgical masks when working with babies needing central IV lines to deliver medications and nutrition. They also are using special tubing to reduce the number of times a line needs to be handled. These efforts are highlighted in the video.
Two other case studies – both focusing on the reduction of a serious infection called sepsis – also are featured in the video. Physicians from Sharp HealthCare in San Diego and Kaiser Permanente Northern California share their efforts to reduce sepsis mortality through early identification and rapid treatment interventions.
In addition to the patient safety video, the website highlights patient safety case studies from nearly a dozen hospitals throughout California. Daughters of Charity Health System, Catholic Healthcare West and the University of California San Francisco's Integrated Nursing Leadership Program all are featured for their ongoing work to reduce sepsis.
Other organizations showcased on the website are Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and Adventist Health, both of which have seen dramatic improvements in preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections; Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank and Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, each of which has made great strides in reducing patient falls; and White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles and Sutter Health, which have implemented targeted strategies for preventing pressure ulcers.
The CaringisourCalling.org website also feature's a 60-second TV ad, which CHA is airing statewide through October. The ad, which is in both English and Spanish, is designed to inform the public about the efforts hospitals are making to ensure safer care and to empower patients and visitors to help in this effort.
"Every hospital is working to eliminate preventable infections," Dauner noted, "but it is a shared responsibility - involving doctors, nurses, hospital employees, patients and visitors alike."
Dauner noted that the ad serves as a reminder from hospitals that everyone should get an annual flu vaccine and the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of infections.
CHA, based in Sacramento, is the statewide leader representing the interests of more than 450 hospitals and health systems in California.

Something is terribly wrong with America's public school system.
For decades, we have seen test scores slide or stagnate (today fewer than twenty percent of our nation's twelfth graders are proficient in math, and our students rank near the bottom in science and math among the industrialized nations of the world) and achievement gaps persist or widen.
So who's responsible for the ongoing failure of our education system? In The War Against Hope, former Secretary of Education Rod Paige pulls no punches in his critical analysis of America's crisis in the classroom. Without question, the greatest impediment to meaningful school reform is the enormous, self-aggrandizing power wielded by the teachers' unions.
In this vital, well-documented book, Paige takes an unflinching look at the power-hungry union leaders who have consistently placed their ambitions ahead of the needs of the teachers and the students whom they claim to serve. He also traces the history of the National Education Association (NEA) from its humble beginnings as an advocate of education excellence to its early radicalization by left-wing ideology.
The War Against Hope is a disturbing account of the corruption, greed, and skewed values that have assaulted our schools, betrayed our teachers, and forsaken our children for far too long.

Thursday, September 11, 2008, was not just a historically sad day; it was also the last day of life as I knew it. That day had been perfectly normal, filled with freelance writing jobs, ballet class, and my teenager's busy schedule. Upon going to sleep, it was unimaginable that my next realization would not occur until Sunday night, when I would be awakened by a UPMC Presbyterian nurse. Even more shocking would be the discovery that a neurosurgeon had removed a malignant brain tumor during my missing hours.
By Monday, the pieces finally fit together. I had awakened on Friday with such an excruciating headache, I had no recollection of being taken to our local hospital. While in the emergency room, I lost consciousness. A CT scan showed an unidentified brain mass, resulting in an ambulance race across town to Oakland.
Sadly, the surgeon's first job was to prepare my husband for the worst. With a patient who was almost comatose and no feedback or historical data upon which to draw, there were multiple concerns.
The neurosurgeon chose to utilize the Neuroendoport® approach to remove the tumor, a tennis-ball sized glioblastoma, which is a type of brain cancer.
This minimally invasive brain surgery eliminates full-size incisions, decreasing blood loss and recuperation time. Using an image guidance system, the neurosurgeon created a small entryway for the Neuroendoport, and then employed a two-suction technique to remove the tumor. Because this method reduces the amount of blood loss, I required coagulation for only two vessels, and simple sutures and staples. As a result, I was able to be discharged only two days after surgery!
Comprehensive testing determined that I was "neurologically intact" with stable vital signs. That meant I could resume a normal lifestyle almost immediately, including exercise, housework, and regular diet, with no physical limitations. My family and friends found it hard to believe that I had undergone major surgery, and I often questioned it myself! I experienced no pain in the operative site, even after the stitches were removed 10 days later. My radiation therapy could begin almost immediately.
Most patients would agree that getting back into a regular lifestyle makes a huge difference in outlook and energy during treatment. My surgeon's use of the Neuroendoport allowed me to return to a normal life more quickly than traditional surgery ever could. My incision would have been much more complicated with the standard protocol, and the recuperation time would have definitely delayed the next step of treatment.
Our patient stories profile a number of patients who have had minimally invasive brain surgery at UPMC. Although everyone's care experience is unique, we hope that sharing these stories will help other prospective patients and their families better understand these procedures and their potential benefits.
Karen's treatment and results may not be representative of all similar cases.

An interview with Margaret Vickers, TERC, Cambridge, Massachusetts
In science observations lead to hypotheses, whereas in mathematics applications seem to flow from decontextualized theory. How can mathematics and science teachers best reconcile these rather different approaches to the mathematical and scientific education of students?
What you say may be true much of the time, but surely there are contrary examples. Some scientific explorations begin with an analysis of a theory, and some mathematical explorations presumably begin with the need to solve a practical problem. One path to reconciliation is to find and capitalize on such examples. I suspect the problem is partly sociological: science teachers seem much more comfortable with manipulatives than mathematics teachers. Maybe computers would help--spreadsheets to support algebra, the Geometric Supposer for geometry. Maybe we just haven't given mathematics teachers the right manipulatives.
Manipulatives (or experiments) suggest an inductive style, whereas many mathematics teachers love their subject precisely because it is deductive. How can teachers instill in students a proper appreciation of the special role that deduction plays in mathematics?
I am not sure. I taught mathematics at the grade 10 level some years ago and found in that context that only a very few students entered into the discourse of logical deduction. Only a few were excited by a system of axioms and definitions whose logical implications were clear, even elegant. Most students did not get "into" this subject--but they were prepared to use mathematics as a tool.
Some educators have argued that departmental boundaries in education may set up artificial barriers to collaborations on curriculum development and improving instructional strategies. Based on your interest in the school-to-work movement and the fact that disciplinary boundaries are not relevant in the workplace, what do you think is the proper balance of disciplinary and interdisciplinary curricula in education, especially in grades 10-14?
It is simplistic to say that disciplinary boundaries are not relevant in the workplace. There are boundaries, but they are quasi-disciplinary, quite different from the boundaries schools define. For example, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) is based on thermodynamics, which involves both chemistry and physics.
I am a strong believer in projects that encourage students to use science, mathematics and technology concepts simultaneouly. Good projects often entail a communications element as well. But in my experience, projects in which kids are expected to deal with all aspects of a problem--the history, the politics, the economics, the science--often lack focus. In fact, employees don't usually do serious tasks in areas that are not their own. HVAC technicians don't try to do accounting, although they may communicate information about costs.
Does this mean that you do not support the "all aspects of the industry" approach to vocational curriculum? Advocates of this approach emphasize the value to students of working simultaneously on the economic, scientific, political, and human aspects of ordinary community problems.
What I like about the "all aspects" argument is that it eschews the practice of training a person very narrowly in, for example, woodworking, while excluding all discussions about how to make a living with these skills, or what we should do about the rapid depletion of world supplies of furniture timbers. I am, however, suspicious of attempts to do projects that pull in every imaginable angle. In my experience, these are often superficial.
Mathematics teachers often worry that the context-rich environment of an interdisciplinary course will make it harder for students to sort out the mathematics principles from the surrounding context. Do science teachers have similar concerns about learning science? What has been your experience in this regard? How do you think you, as a science educator, might respond to mathematics teachers about this issue?
If a scientific principle is tied to one context only, student learning may be limited. Faced with a second context, a student may very well not see how to use the concept. But removing the principle from the context is not the answer. Rather, we should contextualize and re-contextualize and then do it again and again. For example, look at how an increase in surface area plays a role in the radiation of heat--in car radiators, in the vanes of base-board heaters in homes, and even in the temperature control system of the Australian frill-necked lizard!
What you call "recontextualizing" is similar to what mathematics teachers call "generalizing"--inferring common patterns from multiple contexts.
I am not sure that I agree. The idea behind recontextualizing is not just to infer common patterns from multiple contexts. Rather, it is to learn and experience the same thing in multiple setting and to work with an expert mentor who helps students reflect on the isomorphisms. In recontextualizing, students are not left on their own.
Students with a knack for mathematics tend to generalize easily, but for many others the different contexts seem to remain forever different. Might these students be served better by the traditional system in which students first learn a key principle and than apply it in many different contexts?
I don't think so. Some kids simply don't learn "principles" if they cannot see what they are for.

Fundamental aspects of quantum field theory, gravitation and string theoryProject ID: INTAS-93-1038
Gefördert unter:
Fundamental aspects of quantum field theory, gravitation and string theory
Gesamtkosten:Nicht verfügbar
EU-Beitrag:EUR 22 000
Koordiniert in:Spain
Thema(en):16 - Theoretical Physics
The aim of this project is to combine the efforts of eleven groups from eastern and western countries to solve some fundamental problems of quantum field theory and quantum gravity. The research programme approaches new problems in the renormalization of quantum field theories and statistical mechanics models, integrable systems, conformal field theories, quantum gravity, random surfaces, topological field theories, and string theory.
The main problems that will be analysed are: the renormalization group approach to quantum gravity; the role of integrable hierarchies in string theory and two-dimensional quantum gravity; the renormalization of complex topological interactions like S-terms in quantum chromodynamics or Chern-Simons couplings in three-dimensional dimensional gauge theories; the role of magnetic monopoles in confinement and N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. Other problems that will be addressed are the calculation of correlation functions and form factors in integrable models, multicritical phenomena. in quantum field theory, and applications of string theory to quantum chromodynamics and statistical mechanics.
The solution of many of these problems requires collaboration between different groups because it involves sophisticated techniques of mathematical-physics, algebraic geometry, group theory, topology, differential geometry, catastrophe theory, functional analysis and probability theory.

Nor will I forget coming across Coopers book at your house, and devouring it years later on my bus ride across the country when I went AWOL.
You where a brother to me like no other, and though I have tried to erase your memory with hate in the past years, there have been moments in the midst of coffee fueled research binges, that I lifted my head from my flickering monitor to wonder if you had abandoned such research. In those moments I was hopeful you had not succumbed to the ways of the sheeple, and felt concerned for your survival of the storms I could see brewing then. I was tempted at times to reach out to you, and to petition you to wield your influence to awaken others, but ego and anger restrained me.
I am joyful to find you have done just that. I want you to know I have also felt the call to join the light side so to speak, or as you put it, found god. I would say I comprehend the importance of dispelling with negativity, and a certain realization that positivity and love are the essence of true growth.
I hope in this light you can forgive me and resurrect your brother. There was a time not long ago where the thought of such a reconciliation was beyond possibility. Plotting your destruction was the only train of thought I rode back then. Revenge for me is an art form, and you where a masterpiece I was working on.
I have since learned the value and power of forgiveness, and the exalting release of negativity that accompanies letting go. It was you that broke my spell of hatred the last time we fought, when you came up to me at that show in Hartford and clashed my skull to yours, I hope I can achieve the same here and now.
I know I said some truly awful and disgusting things to you, you riled every ounce of hatred I have known in those moments. You cannot fathom how much I was hurt by the situation and your accusations.
There is much that can be said, but I only hope we can arise from the dead, let go of our ego's and bad will, and regain a brother-in-arms. Awake is a lonely place, and there are very few who understand the gravity of the situation we are facing.
Your new work is #ing awesome, and I love you for it! If you decide to leave me in the burial ground of your memory, know that you have brought me joy in my grave, and that will be my final revenge.
My time is limited to access such communications regularly. I have taken the potential threats we face very seriously. In less than two weeks I am relocating to an isolated mountain sanctuary where I will learn to be truly self sufficient, growing food and living off the land.
No matter what you decide I wish you well, I am sorry for your loss and for the slights I have committed against you. I will pester you no more if you do not reciprocate. Be well, I hope to see you some day on the other side.
If you haven't seen it, check out the movie Son of Man by Dennis Potter (1969)
I believe you will enjoy it, it changed my heart.

Dam, I kinda wish I made the few little posts required to send a private message before making such a public display, but as it's had a happy ending, I'm simply grateful for the end result.
I wanted to get my point across, and I knew it would be received here, so it is done. I'm also glad someone else could enjoy it. I think it's a pretty universal story, and I'm happy to live in the one where the brothers grow up, get over themselves, and make emends.
As for any homoerotic impressions, not that there is anything wrong with the like, but we're a pretty high caliber duo when it comes to the ladies. Poor little lass that ends up in a room with the both of us is bound to fall for one or the other. It's probably a good thing I'm severely taken.
So anyway, whens the next freakin' episode, it's been a long time since I was this excited about a comic book, and it just feels like destiny that this work is coming from such a ridiculously capable and talented artist!
I can't possibly express how utterly excited I am that your back at your craft Mr. Mask. Keep up the great work, it's really awesome to see you bring your delightful sense of humor and talent, to a subject so dreadfully serious!

'Rumour Has It' Is Adele's Next Single Off '21' Album
The track will make its way to pop, adult pop and adult contemporary radio in March.
This is no rumor. Adele's next single, her fourth off the Grammy winning 21 album, will be the stompingly catchy "Rumour Has It," Billboard has confirmed.
Adele collaborator Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote the song with Adele and produced it, revealed the news on the Grammy red carpet on Sunday. "I found out three days ago that I have the next single," Tedder told Billboard. "I'm very excited about it."
PHOTOS: The Best (and Worst) Moments of Grammys 2012
"Rumour Has It" is heading to pop, adult pop and adult contemporary radio in mid-March, a Columbia Records executive confirmed on Monday. The song was going to be the follow-up to "Someone Like You," but the label switched to "Set Fire to the Rain," which topped the Hot 100 in recent weeks and currently sits at No. 2.
The track already has a history on the singles chart. "Rumour" reached No. 60 on the Hot 100 in December, fueled largely by the Glee cast's exposure of the song. The same week, the TV troupe bowed at No. 11 with its mash-up of the song and Adele's "Someone Like You."
PHOTOS: Grammy Awards 2012 Red Carpet Arrivals
(Another 21 track, "Turning Tables," peaked at No. 63 on the Hot 100 -- another by product of a "Glee" cover.)
Previously, "Rumour" had been serviced only to adult alternative radio and it reached No. 1 on Billboard's Triple A chart in August. The song will follow "Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You" and "Set Fire to the Rain" as multi-format singles.
Tedder told Billboard he's excited that Adele and her once-in-a-generation voice have "cut through" to achieve mainstream success.
"I'm just excited that somebody as raw and real as that has cut through at radio and cut through at culture," he told us. "I've never seen anything like it, I feel honored to be involved with it."

The phone sits in front of me, oblivious to my hesitance. What if the book is right and that number is God's phone? Not having a dialing code might be troublesome but then, if it was true, He probably had taken all necessary measures to ensure it worked by itself. What if He didn't want to be reached? Or if He was dead, as some people claimed? Six weeks since I decided to try it and still the same doubts stop me.
What the Hell, I am dialing. Now.
Four. Two.
I wait.
A machine answers: service no longer available. If you need assistance, don't panic. Service no longer available. If you need assistance, don't panic…
Don't panic? Right.

SHERBURNE They say only fools rush in, but preemptive strikes by the Village of Sherburne could eventually play a significant role in thwarting an almost invisible, yet very real enemy: New York Regional Interconnect Inc.
Within days of receiving NYRIs March 31 power line proposal, Mayor Bill Acee and the village board joined the City of Utica in retaining legal counsel, without any real knowledge of the project, just a sense of its magnitude.
We immediately decided to coordinate our efforts on the offensive, instead of the defensive, said Village Trustee Stephen Dunshee. It was unanimous the discussion was all for it. Dunshee said the decision to immediately jump into the fight wasnt given an afterthought, considering the implications NYRIs power line would have for Sherburne. It would be detrimental to our village, he said. They want to run it right down the middle of Sherburne, physically taking out homes and businesses.
Since March, a number of citizens groups and government alliances have formed up and down the line in a grassroots effort to raise awareness and much-needed funding. Locally, groups such as STOP NYRI, The Regional Congress of citizens groups, and Communities Against Regional Interconnect (an eight-county alliance of officials and citizens) have worked together and separately to create opposition on several different fronts.

I was on the hill before Dave and after much checking of control direction and throws (and control direction again, in all flight modes, several times) the Extreme was ready to go. After one more final check. Followed by a final, final check. Paranoid? Indeed!! Well,, it flew fine. Elevator felt a bit sluggish, the aileron differential needs a tweak and less elevator compensation is needed under crow but, hey, it flew. One click of aileron trim so the repaired wing can't be too far off straight.
Extreme looks ok from this distance. Less so close up!
Dave appeared with his lovely new Needle and soon had it going really well. He seemed to feel at home with it right away and was being quite aggressive for a test flight!
Peter appeared with his new Bluto and it is very fast and agile. I had a fondle and is lovely and very stiff for a foamie. Peter also had a blast with his Needle and it demonstrates how effective these models are.
Here goes nothing!!

By this time on your career path as an HVACR technician and/or field-active business owner, you should already be aware of the methods used to find refrigerant leaks. Your choice of tool — whether a straightforward visual inspection, soap bubbles, electronic sensors, ultrasonic detectors, refrigerant dyes, a combination of two, three, or all of them — is totally up to you.
The question I'm often asked is "Which one is the best?" My answer is that there's no "best" method. This isn't about being absolute, comparing one to other, or using one method only because it's the latest and greatest method. The question should be, "Which tool or tools would be the most effective in my particular situation?"
Special Soap Formulas Aid Visual Detection
First, use your eyes. If you can gain access to piping and components to look for obvious oil stains, then do it. Oil residue can indicate where a system may have leaked or is currently leaking. In the same scenario, another visual detection method is to use soap bubbles. This is an extremely effective method for detecting continuous leakage. However, keep in mind that it helps to use the more complex specialty formulations, which offer high sensitivity bubble development instead of dish soap. But if regular soap is all you have, don't hesitate to use it.
Electronic Detectors: Precise in Ideal Conditions
Electronic detectors are precise instruments, as long as your sensors are replaced at their recommended usage period and the wind isn't blowing around a system that is located outdoors. One of the many observations that I've made from the past 13 years of studying refrigerant leak — along with their manifestations, and numerous exit paths — is that it's easy to understand why it could turn into an extremely frustrating task.
I've found that the best way to improve efficiency when using sniffers is to visualize a plane of leakage anywhere along the radius of a semispherical dome. Move your electronic sensor in a pattern which would reflect this half ball model by using a circling motion, covering the points of radius as you move along the pipe surface. This allows you to detect those leaks which are not exiting in what we like to imagine as a 45 degree vertical plane from the pipe's horizontal surface.
Ultrasonic detectors are ideal for targeting leak sites because they aren't affected by air currents. But remember, settings lose their edge when used in commercial and industrial settings. This is because of the multitude of other frequencies being generated by compressed air, and steam movement through pipes in addition to leakage.
Ultraviolet Dyes: Use in Moderation
Ultraviolet dyes are excellent for targeting intermittent leakage, just don't overdose the system because you're in a hurry to find the leak. Putting ultraviolet dyes into the system as an early detection method avoids this situation. Too much dye will affect performance output of a unit and cause a mess when you attach or disconnect manifold gage sets and auxiliary equipment.
Remember that most dyes will react to internal moisture. They'll crystallize, and lose their ability to be carried by the refrigerant and oil. Look for UV dyes which offer moisture resistance capabilities, fast acting injection, and a low product volume to system oil ratio.
Leak Type Dictates Method
So, which leak detection method is the best for a particular application? Let's first define the two types of leaks: intermittent and continuous. Intermittent leakage is due to free flowing internal particulates, operation vibrations, varying temperature swings and load change conditions.
Continual leakage is always a factor, because everything leaks, over the course of one year or 20 years. Being that people are far from perfect, it comes as no surprise that we can't design and build a perfectly tight system. Entropy is always at work. But don't let that stop you. Continue to search for refrigerant leaks as you would for buried treasure, and use these methods in the same way that our country's military combines the Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marines to get the job done.
A variety of leak detection methods can be employed as needed, if you're seeking to be a competitive, efficient, and economical business manager or technician, all the while keeping your business growing, and your customers happy.

Co., a Toronto-based manufacturer of refrigeration leak detection tools, refrigeration sealants, and other aftermarket HVAC and automotive products (cliplight.com).

THE last time Richard Sadlier attended a game at Lansdowne Road was the 1995 friendly between the Republic of Ireland and England which was abandoned after 27 minutes when visiting fans started rioting.
The Millwall striker was in the crowd as a fan on that occasion but tonight Sadlier will be in the spotlight when wins his first cap against Russia as the countdown to the World Cup finals begins with the first of five warm-up matches.
Like all the 32 World Cup coaches, Mick McCarthy has already decided on the majority of the 23 players he will take to Japan and South Korea.Realistically, only three or maybe four places are up for grabs and with doubts surrounding Tottenham's versatile Gary Doherty, who has a long-term Achilles tendon injury, Sadlier provides an alternative to Niall Quinn in attack.
McCarthy's first-choice strike-force will probably be Leeds' Robbie Keane and Blackburn's Damien Duff but if a physical presence is needed there is no one apart from Quinn or Doherty, who is primarily a defender. Sadlier has scored 17 goals as Millwall press their claim for promotion to the Premiership. Tonight he hopes to push his case for another chance in the senior squad with an impressive performance against Russia who are in Ireland's Euro 2004 qualifying group.
McCarthy places much emphasis on loyalty and the players who helped Ireland to the finals will be rewarded accordingly though not all of those will make the cut.
"The hardest part is not so much picking the squad but telling those who aren't in it the bad news," said McCarthy. "Yet you have to keep your options open and I'll be looking at some fringe players in the coming months."
Sadlier had trials with Millwall when McCarthy was manager and subsequently signed for the First Division club after he left for Ireland.
McCarthy said: "Sadlier has not looked out of place in training. He's physically strong with an eye for goal."
The Ireland manager is reluctant to start the game with his strongest team and devalue it by making it progressively weaker with the seven substititions permitted. McCarthy said: "The door for the finals is still ajar but there are a few who have nothing to prove to me and you know who they are."
Top of that list is captain Roy Keane, named Ireland's Player of the Year earlier this week who is unlikely to play more than the first half.
Apart from Sadlier, another debutant will probably be midfielder Colin Healy, on loan from Celtic to Coventry who McCarthy describes as "a disciplined player who likes a tackle."
Healy has won 10 Under-21 caps and McCarthy said: "He's one of those who has impressed me. He's stood out in training. If Richard Sadlier and Colin Healy play out of their shoes there is no reason why they can't be on the plane."
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND (probable).-Given (Newcastle); Finnan (Fulham), Cunningham (Wimbledon), O'Brien (Newcastle), Harte (Leeds); McAteer (Sunderland), Roy Keane (Man Utd), Holland (Ipswich), Kilbane (Sunderland); Sadlier (Millwall), Robbie Keane (Leeds).
RUSSIA (probable).-Nigmatullin (Verona); Khlestov (Besiktas), Onopko (Oviedo), Kovtun (Sp. Moscow), Khokhlov (R. Sociedad); Alenichev (Porto), Titov (Sp. Moscow), Mostovoi (Celta), Karpin (Celta); Beschastnykh (S. Moscow), Panov (Dyn Moscow).
Referee: D Gallagher (England).

Check it out!
It's something that we deal with, you know?
Let's get it!
Sound clasher broadcast
The grand master mash your rap rapture
Capture peddles with such status
Staggering style addict and can't stomach the status
Off kill to stats colorful graphics habbit
Straight radical, Hannibal's mathematical son su
The literal is just literally… tactical, son, you
Frivolous town, out in the… hands down!
Game is over the drums, James Brown.
General Jim start…
The blade cut you for the roughage
You can't... Tell, you are mustered
We know originality cats are... If you whack
When little Lee raps over T-Boy tracks.
Listen, simple and plane!
You're out of pocket like loose change.
All we see is the peak of the game
This gold chain slang bang!
Splashing and trashing, niggas rapping, ask me what happen
I'll be cutting niggas down for low cabins.
The door… the guns clapping quickly in the...
Cause you niggas …decided like a ... The dice
Supposed to be blasting, your pussy is not flash and right
Your lyrics ain't killing nobody, so pass the mike!
And you ain't killed nothing
You gonna let it live since it lived
For whom was soft as a baby with a bed, with the tittie sucking
Me I'll be tittie fucking, the chick has me clucking
Looking for... Picture me tricking something
I got a trick for, cause you figured it out
Wanna see a magic stick disappear? Open your mouth!
You brought by baptized lyrics around
Suffer close, call it post-traumatic head shot dishonor
... Spit fire, my rhyme syllable slaughter
But rather leave hoes and your ribs of the size of quarters!
Me and Whacka Flocka was cooling at the Palladium
Jumped out the helicopter in two
Another stadium with drugs that can't flush
With guns that can't jam
A Russian association with the Tuscany glam!
It's a custom, the people, evil police know
He ain't no seen Heaven, pull over…
Yeah, five members of the Beatles is equal
December I was live to…
The most... Passport in history
Another category class say victory
Nearly pulled the pistol in the winner
The List of Schindler, weather sinners and killers
Dealers and villains living under... And pillars
Still a fucking winner with no...
I'm out here catching dynasty dude without the lesson
Pyramid army is profession.
Never tidy hanging like an anchor
I'm like a pranker, Haitian gold motivation
Working, talking, circulate paper
Fuck around, go ahead,
Be the quickest way to meet mother nature!
My ever statement is disrespectful and blatant
Sophistication is calculating for greatness
All the… like phonograph tracks
Soak and show the rap... Like photograph raps
It's lethal! This dosage of four package for people
Backseat you with the legal evil
It's a stick up or the…
So be cool and get beat on
I'm the original! So take that bullshit back to...
You know fragile ass peons
Freeze up like freon liquids.

Tried to say the God fell off, whenever your momma nigga

At Bush Intercontinental Airport, a United Airlines flight as well as a small Atlantic Southeast flight were both hit by lightning after just taking off. The other two -- Delta and AirTran flights -- were flying into Hobby when they were struck. No one was hurt in any of the incidents, but passengers were shaken up.
Escorted by Houston firefighters and other IAH airport officials, United Flight 1007 bound for Bogota, Colombia pulled back into the gate. According to the FAA, the Boeing 737 with 124 passengers on board was 15 miles out when it was struck by lightning. Houston fire officials say smoke filled the cabin.
On Twitter, one passenger wrote,"omg lightning hit the plane on our way to Bogota and now we're back in Houston."
"Our plane was struck by lightning," wrote a second passenger on Twitter, "we're waiting on another one."
In all, four commercial flights reported lightning strikes in the Houston area in the 5 o'clock hour. Two planes -- including that United flight and Atlantic Southeast Flight 4637 en route to Mobile, Alabama carrying 47 passengers -- were outbound.
The other two -- Delta Flight 1832 with 141 passengers onboard and AirTran Flight 297 -- were both flying from Atlanta, Georgia to Hobby. All four landed safely without incident.
"They can be an extremely dramatic experience for the passengers because it's loud and they can see the flash of the lightning," said former pilot Josh Verde.
Josh Verde is a former Continental Express pilot with 15 years experience. He says planes are designed to withstand lightning strikes, but there are exceptions.
"Every once in awhile, there's a small interaction with the airplane system, so the cabin lights might flash or in the cockpit, the pilots might see one of their instruments flicker for a moment," said Verde.
He said that lightning strikes to planes happen more often than you would think. The last catastrophic one that we could find was more than 50 years ago.
All of the passengers who were headed out Friday night were put on replacement planes.

All of us will have been to a celebration at some point in our lives where the party band was simply abysmal. Sometimes, they play the wrong music, however they might just as quickly simply look incorrect or have a dreadful attitude. It has actually also happened that they play out of tune, or that their tune list is absolutely inappropriate for the event.
If you are arranging a celebration, like a birthday bash or your wedding day, it is essential that you don't wind up with among these problematic bands. Fortunately, it is possible making a truly notified choice so that you ensure you get the entertainment right find out more from http://www.souldesire.co.uk
Discovering the ideal band begins with finding out exactly what sort of music you really wish to hear and delight in. From thereon, you just need to find a band that plays that and that is able to play it well. Take a good browse at different locations, check out reservation firms and use the web in order to find a few competitors.
Do ensure you talk with your pals as well, as there is merely no much better advertisement than word of mouth. When you discover a potential competitor for your band, ensure you check out their song list. Is it nice and positive? Is it adequately differed? Do they have tracks that make great opening and closing songs?
You likewise have to think about the guests that will be attending your party. You might really delight in gangster rap, however that is a quite unique club of individuals and you will discover that the rest of your guests rapidly weary of it.
Unfortunately, seeing to it your guests are kept happy is also crucial, so discover something that is reasonably neutral. You wish to avoid cheesy, however you do have to ensure individuals know the tunes, that they can sing along to them and that they can dance to them.
It might feel like all this is a great deal of work. It is, however it is likewise entirely worth it. Do you desire your party to be kept in mind as vibrant and entertaining, or do you desire individuals to think about your occasion when they are asked if they ever heard really bad entertainment?
It is a balancing act, due to the fact that you can likewise keep things far more basic by working with a DJ. However, if you do get the ideal band, your party will be far higher and more amusing.

Norfolk Southern has enhanced its Matching Gifts Program to make it easier for employees to help communities thrive.
The new program moved online today with a new vendor, Good Done Great, allowing many new features and making it easier to give back to our communities.
Replacing our former paper-based system, the new online portal will:
- Allow employees to donate and request matching gifts in one step, or request matching gifts for check, credit card or stock donations made through other means.
- Let nonprofit organizations confirm your donation quickly and electronically – speeding up the matching gift process.
- Allow employees and retirees to check the status of matches, and keep track of their donations.
Donor instructions and FAQs are linked below to answer questions you might have about using the online system. Note that any matches requested, but not currently processed through the paper-based system will be transferred to our new online portal. Historical data for all 2017 matches also will be uploaded into the new system, giving employees and retirees a full view of their matching for this year. We hope to have this complete by July.
Norfolk Southern is proud of its employees and retirees who contribute to help communities prosper. Your contributions and our company's matching gifts make a difference – and making a difference is now easier than ever.

The Norfolk Southern Foundation was established in 1983 to direct and implement Norfolk Southern Corporation's charitable giving programs. Through strategic investment in educational, cultural, environmental, and human service organizations within Norfolk Southern's service territory, the Foundation seeks to enhance the quality of life for Norfolk Southern employees and the "livability" of the communities it serves.
As a major employer in large and small communities throughout the eastern United States, Norfolk Southern takes seriously its role as a corporate citizen and its responsibility to commit resources, both human and financial, to help improve those communities for the benefit of our employees and our neighbors. This commitment is acknowledged in Norfolk Southern's Corporate Creed.
In 2014, charitable and other contributions totaled approximately $12.16 million.
This summer, facing another year of reduction in charitable funding, the Norfolk Southern Foundation is changing our funding strategy for 2018 and further aligning with our corporate goals. These decisions have been difficult, but necessary. Please review the following grant information.
The beginning of grant season will be moved from July 15 to Sept. 1 and will run the entire month.
Only applicants in our major cities of Norfolk and Atlanta will be eligible. A few exceptions to the territory will be made. Environmental applicants that have projects in and around our facilities in our 22 state territory will be able to apply. Also, Feeding America Foodbanks that have received funding in the past will still be eligible for funding, but no application is necessary. The food banks will be notified in December of general operating support for the upcoming year.
The application will be available on Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Katie Fletcher, Director Corporate Social Responsibility via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Norfolk Southern Foundation offers limited sponsorships for certain events in our territory that benefit or promote Norfolk Southern's business and social interests. Factors considered in sponsorship requests include relationships with charitable organizations, community impact, appropriateness of funding level, and timing of requests. When considering Norfolk Southern as a potential sponsor for events, note that we sell no retail product and have limited interest in naming and exposure opportunities.
The Foundation might differ from other businesses in its determination of what qualifies as a corporate sponsorship. Some events that traditionally are funded through corporate sponsorships are funded by the Foundation through the general Grant Program. Please contact the executive director to inquire about the appropriate funding program for your request.
Although there is no formal deadline for corporate sponsorships, it is suggested that sponsorship requests be made as early as possible before the event.
Sponsorship requests may be submitted by email to the executive director (email@example.com) at any time. Organizations that make direct contact by phone or email, discuss potential requests beforehand, and submit proposals early are more likely to be considered for funding. The Foundation makes no guarantee to review requests submitted by organizations not obtaining pre-approval by the executive director as outlined above. Please refer to Corporate Sponsorship Guidelines for program details.
The Local Discretion Grant Program is a dedicated small contributions program ($1,000 - $3,000) that promotes community goodwill, diversity, and safety awareness at the local level in each of Norfolk Southern's 9 operating divisions. This program enables Norfolk Southern to enhance relationships with the communities in which our employees work and live and allows local railroad facilities and employees to share in corporate citizenship. Local Discretion giving supplements rather than replaces the traditional funding programs of the Foundation and enables division representatives to personalize corporate contributions.
Qualifying organizations interested in obtaining Local Discretion Grant funding should make contact with local Norfolk Southern employees with whom they have professional affiliations or connections. The Foundation encourages local division representatives to give back to organizations with which they have working relationships and partnerships. As such, the Foundation does not provide contact numbers for local division representatives. Please refer to Local Discretion Grant Guidelines for program details.
