The Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Marshals have been conducting raids on marijuana dispensaries, instructional institutions, and teachers who instruct patients how to cultivate their own marijuana, in states where medicinal marijuana is legal. According to sources these raids have intensified in depth, and scope lately, as part of a broad attack on these States' Tenth Amendment Rights, under the United States Constitution. When we look closely at the secrecy of the operations, the level of force being used, and take into account Congress has recently given the Executive Branch broad powers, to use the United States Military to arrest, and detain US citizens indefinitely, without access to the courts (habeus corpus), and without filing any charges, my "Spidey Senses" start to tingle for fear of an over reaching federal government taking away what little authority the States have left under the Tenth Amendment, of the US Constitution.
All of the States where medicinal marijuana has been legalised, are in the sights of various agencies, of the US government. I fully expect the Executive to use the Armed Forces of The United States, in a broader scope, to shut down any facility, institute, group,, and/or groups trying to provide, or enabling the provision of legal medicinal marijuana to the sick, and/or dieing. The reason the Federal Government will use for de facto martial law will be the states' police powers not enforcing archaic federal laws banning marijuana.
The way I see it is if a person is sick, in pain, and their doctor believes marijuana will help them, that person should be able to legally obtain marijuana, without the threat of being branded a criminal. I have never heard of anyone killing someone to obtain marijuana, but I have heard of people killing to obtain oxycodone, hydrocodone, and a host of other powerful, and deadly legal narcotics. I have never seen a person get physically ill from not having marijuana, but I have seen people get violently ill from not having narcotics.Furthermore, another legal drug, alcohol is much worse on a persons health than marijuana, yet the government allows people to obtain, and drink as much booze as they want. There is something really stupid about a system that bans a benign substance based on outdated research, yet knowingly allows much more deadly drugs to be legally dispensed.
I hope I am wrong about de facto martial law being declared in states where medicinal marijuana is legal. I hope this is just the federal governments way of telling the states that have legalized medicinal marijuana, to not make it legal for recreational use. When the Feds can more fully tax, and regulate marijuana, it may be legalised for recreational use, but until then, just do not smoke it unless you do not mind being put in the pokey.

Hello! I promised you I am going to post some pictures with my 4th of July outfit. Eventhough it wasn't a great event for Romania, I have thought it would be nice to personalize my look. So, I added an American flag scarf to complete my look.
What I am wearing:
- Bershka black top (about 5 $)
- DIY high waist shorts
- Zara biker boots (abou 30 $)
- American Flag Scarf (about 5 $)
- H&M chain black bag (about 15 $)
- DIY neon rope and rhinestones bracelet (inspired from glitternglue.com)
- DIY chains bracelets
|My arm party
I'm also glad that on the 19th of July I will go to Roxette's concert which will take place on the local arena. I will go with my mom and my sister. I can't wait to hum their songs with the crowd. Eventhough I am pretty young to be considered a Roxette fan, I love their songs.
And a song from the famous band!
Have a nice day!

Sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto is struggling to find happiness after a family tragedy leaves him reeling. He's slowly remembering what happiness might feel like this summer with the support of his girlfriend Genevieve, but it's his new best friend, Thomas, who really gets Aaron to open up about his past and confront his future. As Thomas and Aaron get closer, Aaron discovers things about himself that threaten to shatter his newfound contentment. A revolutionary memory-alteration procedure, courtesy of the Leteo Institute, might be the way to straighten himself out. But what if it means forgetting who he truly is?
In his twisty, gritty, profoundly moving New York Times bestselling debut Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx.
More Happy Than Not was published by Soho Teen on June 2nd, 2015.

"A beautiful debut novel [that] manages a delicate knitting of class politics through an ambitious narrative about sexual identity and connection that considers the heavy weight and constructive value of traumatic memory... Aaron's Bronx universe [is captured] with a precision that feels at once dreamy and casually reportorial... mandatory reading."
—The New York Times Book Review
"[An] important addition to speculative fiction for young adults... Silvera's tale combines the best features of science fiction with social justice in this engaging read, as Aaron finds a place where he belongs."
—The Los Angeles Times
"[Silvera] explores the possibilities of a world where death, and life, can be forgotten, roles rewritten and broken hearts mended. This is a story not just of a young man coming out, but a dramatic and heart-wrenching story of first loves, first heartbreaks, grief and the quest for happiness."
—Shelf Awareness, Starred Review
"Vividly written and intricately plotted: a well-executed twist will cause readers to reassess what they thought knew about Aaron's life... beyond gritty... Silvera pulls no punches."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"A fresh spin on what begins as a fairly standard, if well executed, story of a teen experiencing firsts—first love, first sex, first loss—and struggling with his identity and sexuality... prejudice is illustrated with gut-wrenching brutality and its effects are scarring, but Silvera tempers it with the genuine love and acceptance Aaron receives from a few important friends and family members... ingenious."
—Booklist, Starred Review
"Places a straightforward concept—what if you could erase unwanted memories?—squarely within an honest depiction of the pains of navigating the teen years and upends all expectations for a plot resolution . . . A multifaceted look at some of the more unsettling aspects of human relationships. A brilliantly conceived page-turner."
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"Poignant . . . So engrossing that once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. Don't say we didn't warn you."
"This is a cry-on-the-subway book, so watch out."
"Adam Silvera explores the inner workings of a painful world and he delivers this with heartfelt honesty and a courageous, confident hand. Combine these with a one-of-a-kind voice and a genius idea, and what you have is a mesmerizing, unforgettable tour de force."
—John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back and Noggin
"Adam Silvera is a voice missing in YA fiction. The honesty of his words and his ability to tell a story make you realize that we've been waiting for him. I'm blown away."
—Holly Goldberg Sloan, author of Counting by 7s and I'll Be There
"An important new voice in YA literature, in More Happy Than Not Adam Silvera has created a passionate, searing narrative with characters who feel unique and totally familiar. I found myself rooting for Aaron Soto and his family from page one. More Happy Than Not is an unforgettable read."
—Alex London, author of Proxy and Guardian
"Inventive and daring, Silvera's gritty debut kept me turning pages until 2 A.M. His writing crackles with challenging questions, searing and timely."
—Aaron Hartzler, author of Rapture Practice
"Aaron is one of the most interesting, authentic teen narrators I've met, and his story is told with incredible courage and unflinching honesty. Silvera managed to leave me smiling after totally breaking my heart. Unforgettable."
—Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda
"Adam Silvera's More Happy Than Not is a fantastic magic trick I haven't stopped thinking about since I finished reading, and suspect will stay with me for some time to come."
—Jasmine Warga, author of My Heart and Other Black Holes"
"In More Happy Than Not Adam Silvera harnesses a certain reckless energy and unleashes it through the voice of Aaron Soto."
-David Arnold, author of Mosquitoland

Your company is only six steps away from increased efficiency and better profitability.
To achieve this, you will not have to invest in new machines or equipment, neither let personnel go or move your operation.
Instead, this is about using your machines more efficiently, reduce the wastage of resources and structure the improvements.
Through INVID's six valuable created steps we can create the required conditions to be able to reduce wastage in the form of i.e. too much bound capital, long leading times, overproduction, overtime, extra shifts, laid manufacturing, material wastage etc.
Because of this you can increase the operating margins and the return of the working capital.
How efficient is your machinery?
Is it possible to manage production in Sweden? Of course it is!
The prise is very important, but quality, service, reliability and delivery precision are equally important as well. Therefor it's vital to learn how to use already existing resources in a cleverer and more efficient way.
To find out how the real world is behaving is easy. Simply measure real values and build the improvement based on facts.
INVID's e-Pi system gives information based on facts which is built on the TAK/OEE principle. When INVID has provided for companies facing bigger investments, the machine which is the tightest machine in the production – and which is also the machine one thought was producing around the clock – shows a result under 40% in worst cases.
With facts in hand, it's easy to make decisions: invest 2,5 million kr in a new machine which also generates 40% or instead optimize your existing machine making it generate 80%.
The result in these cases will be the same.
Is your machinery on half speed?
By being foolish your company will lose money every time the smallest intermission occurs. Therefor it's extremely important to establish what actually is causing the efficiency wastage.
Implement value stream mapping
A useful method for identifying the root of a problem and finding out the causes for why you, i.e. can't reach maximum machine capacity, is by implementing value stream mapping.
These value stream mappings mean dividing the processing parts of today in two categories – value created and wastage.
Visualize the product
Visualization of the production is an important tool for everybody to be familiar with the goals that have been set – and the extent of which they should be achieved.
Too often personnel go to work and perform admirably for the company, without this being noticed.
An occurring problem during the manufacturing rarely gets noticed either, until much later.
Put together a workshop
To implement a workshop is one of the best ways for the company to reach results with the work improvement. It is also a great method to make use of the capacity of the personnel in the best way possible.
The Andon system
INVID work with the latest tools within web applications and integrate both data from manufacturing and business systems into our own systems.
Everything according to the requirements of the client. Besides visualization we also generate reports and statistics of the company's KPI-numbers automatically.
Improvement capacity
When the identification of the sources of error has been established it is important to assess in what order the problem should be handled, and which resources should be implemented to reach the best possible solution.
An important input during this process is a realistic perspective, where one valuate how many measures, and in what pace, one can handle the implementation of the change management.
Organisational conditions
Knowledge benefits your machinery
To reach success in the long term with the improvement, and by that get a head start in terms of your competitors, the improvement process must be structured before getting started.
Almost everything is about getting it right from the beginning. Many disorders are because of misunderstanding of the customer's requests, or because the specifications of the client's request is not thoroughly enough for the entire chain of processto understand and by that doing it correctly.
One of the final goals by structuring the improvement process is to gain a automotive and renewed improvement work.
You have to be aware of that lack of knowledge, except lack of motivation, is one of the biggest reasons for disorders and wastage.
Therefore, within every team, you have to determine which areas of qualification are necessary to manage effective manufacturing and thereafter cater eventual training needs.
Create commitment
To create drive in the improvement work and the teams, is based on raising the motivation and the commitment among the co-workers, by a management philosophy based on: Reliance, Support, Motivation, Reward and Challenges – in that order.
The way of working is based on that the operators in the first line shall improve and navigate their own groups and routines according to the company's overall policies, goals and thoughts of improvement.
During the beginning the improvement leader has to actively participate in the team meetings to create structure and understanding of the work of improvement, and also to help the team members to identify abruptions and waste.
Many small improvements, within the team, may on its own seem to have little effect, but all together will bring results.
Create a steering group
To be able to meet the requirements that companies are facing today, you must together create a culture within the company where the co-workers actively and independently carry on the improvement work, for increased efficiency and profitability.
The conditions to achieve this culture are already created on an organizational level. The management must agree 100% on the changes that will be implemented.
Organisationally this steering group will consist of the entire (or parts of) the management team, and the improvement leaders of the teams. The purpose with the steering group is to coordinate and make decisions about the activity's improvements, and monitor its development.
Improvement groups
If you have identified errors, flaws and/or waste, of the kind that will not be solved immediately, there are usually a contribution of an intern or extern improvement leader that is needed. That leader is in turn backed up by a very committed management.
Managed by the improvement leader goal orientated teams are put together, with right qualifications, mandate and tools, to later implement measures.
The road towards a self-going improvement work is based on the will of the operators in the front line to improve and manage their own groups according the guide lines of the operation.
By giving more control and authority to the operators doesn't mean that the management loses their control, instead they have more time focusing on overall development within the company.
Implement improved measures
Under the leadership of the improvement leader the teams will perform improvements.
There are usually needs of testing a solution on a smaller area, before implementing it on a bigger one. Avoid shortcuts and compromises. Create solid solutions and first make sure the quality is accurate.
This will automatically create increased productivity in the long run. Make sure putting effort in to make the problem vanish forever. Start by eliminate one problem completely instead of trying to eliminate several.
There are no shortcuts to happy customers and desired profitability.
Emergency services via mobile
A vital reason for machine downtime is the wait for an operator to arrive. Within many companies, the operator is furthermore usually responsible for several machines.
A simple error which only take seconds to fix, can lead to 15-20 minutes intermission because no one has noticed that the machine has stopped.
Despite lights and information boards machines can be idle for a longer period of time without any measures.
Make the operators observant via mobile phones or pagers. This is an investment worth doing.
INVID has developed mobile apps which alarms through text message or "push notifications" to an iPhone.
We also offer traditional pager equipment as an alternative.
Did it turn out in terms of decreased wastage, motivations among co-workers, results, competitiveness etc.?
If not, analyse why and adjust the method or try a different solution.
An ongoing process
Improvement work is an ongoing process.
When we now have gone through the first five steps, we need to do a follow up and evaluate the positive aspects and what can be improved during this process.
Then there is only to get ready to yet again start over at step 1. The road to effective machine hours is certainly not straight.
There are many obstacles and pitfalls along the road and perhaps many co-workers won't be on board right away. Therefore, it's very important that we never give up, but evaluate and repeat the process.

Cause of death: the Internet and AOL
While parts of the company are still around, the full extent of the Compuserve dial-up network is hard to imagine. Beginning in the 1980s, Compuserve maintained banks of modems in most major US cities, making it one of the most prevalent dial-up networks around. They had their own client software to access the network, called Compuserve Information Manager, and odd user names that were a collection of numbers, such as 765432,111. At its peak, the company also operated the network that is still being used for credit card authorizations. They were also one of the first providers of email for its users, and one of the first to offer Internet connectivity in 1989. It was popular for its discussion forums on a wide range of topics. Alas, they were sold to AOL in 1998 and that along with the ubiquity of the Internet -- was the beginning of the end for the company.
Cause of death: bungled corporate merger, universal LAN connections and decommissioned mainframes
At the dawn of the PC revolution in the early 1980s, one of the biggest challenges was getting them to talk to the IBM mainframes and emulate the 3270 green-screen terminals. The leading vendor in this space was DCA, who made the Irma hardware boards and software line. Attachmate Corp. eventually acquired DCA in 1994 and its Irma brands have since disappeared from the landscape. The two corporate cultures were very different, and Attachmate eliminated many of the duplicate positions since they sold essentially the same product set. Many of the DCA brain trust left and went on to their own ventures or work for established companies.
Cause of death: PCs
Perhaps no other computer maker had a more iconic and identifiable computer than DEC's PDP11. I learned how to program on one in graduate school back in the late 1970s, and they were found at universities and research labs around the world. I came across one not too long ago sitting in a friend's backyard and used as the repository for his gardening tools. About the size of refrigerators, they were 16-bit CPUs and had shared memory architectures and were built to last.
Cause of death: dot com crash of 2001, Internet use of credit cards
One of the first contenders in Internet payment processing was First Virtual, which developed a series of protocols in 1994 for exchanging messages securely for paying for goods and services online. The system didn't make use of encryption but instead used open standards and email for its infrastructure. Nevertheless, despite its intellectual elegance, by the late 1990s using credit cards across the Internet became more convenient and popular, and the company was eventually sold to Doubleclick in 2001. Key pieces of its technology are still found in Paypal and were precursors of many of the Internet commerce products of the modern era.
Cause of death: broadband connectivity and integration of modems into motherboards
Back when dial up communications were the norm and before DSL or cable broadband was invented, these were the products that everyone used on their PCs to communicate. The 2400 number refers to 2400 bps, which is slower than the data rates that even cell phone networks transmit these days. Dennis Hayes was the charismatic leader of the company but eventually the broadband industry and misplaced bets on ISDN brought it down. The company eventually disappeared in 1999, although Zoom Technologies purchased the Hayes name and still uses it on their products.
Cause of death: proprietary technologies
In the late 1990s, push technology was all the rage and at one point I think there were more than two dozen companies pushing their products. Push even made the cover of Wired magazine in 1997. These products had the ability to send you updates to your desktop, with no user intervention required. Web content would automatically arrive and publishers were enthralled by the whole idea. But push quickly collapsed because the implementations were quirky and users stayed away, and most of the companies spent more on marketing than engineering. BackWeb is still one push vendor around is used by a variety of tech vendors to automatically update their drivers.
Cause of death: corporate hubris and proprietary technologies
Before the notion of write-once-debug-everywhere Java came into being, there was General Magic's Telescript, a cross-platform programming language that incorporated what we now call cloud-based communications. The company had some huge backers, including Sony and AT&T. And the devices, introduced in 1994, made a huge splash but by 2002 they were out of business, brought down by a dependence on the AT&T cellular network and a lack of applications.
Nevertheless, they were prescient in pointing out how PDAs and smartphones can make use of Internet-based applications and services. Parts of the core technology still survives in General Motors' Onstar navigation voice recognition software. And the founders of the company were quite the brain trust: they went on to develop parts of the iPhone, the Sidekick phone, Google's Android phone, and start eBay.

Reform of aid to UK renewable electricity generation
DTI consultation (96 pages, PDF) on proposed changes to the renewables obligations in the UK. The main long-term proposals are:
- to band the obligation by varying the number of certificates issued for each MWh according to the technology used;
- to link future levels of the obligation to growth in actual generation, thus "guaranteeing headroom" (i.e. ensuring that the obligation will not normally be fully met);
- to introduce a system to maintain the overall level of aid to renewables even if the obligation level is met or exceeded;
- to stop RPI indexation of the buy-out price;
- to uncap aid to co-firing, but pay it at a lower rate (through the banding arrangements); and
- to allow Ofgem to recover its administration costs from the buy-out fund (i.e. deduct them from the aid provided to generators).
This consultation runs in parallel to the Scottish Executive consultation on aid to wave and tidal power. The DTI paper notes the different approach to banding adopted by the Scottish Executive (separate obligation levels for different technologies, rather than the DTI's proposed fixed multipliers) and argues that the Scottish proposals do not leave enough for the market to decide.
Responses by Friday 15 December 2006 (for changes to be implemented in April 2007) or Friday 5 January 2007 (for changes after 2009).
See Renewable cat out of bag | viewpoint: Franck for a comment on aspects of the long-term reform proposals.

Multidisciplinary Academic Programs
To enrich the curricular opportunities available to students and faculty, the Yale College Faculty authorized a framework for multidisciplinary academic programs in Yale College. These programs provide opportunities for Yale College students to examine pressing social challenges from a variety of disciplinary perspectives among a community of students and faculty who have shared interests. Students from any major can apply to these programs, and faculty from across the university participate in them. Each program focuses centrally on a distinct and different set of issues, but they all share common features, including a core curriculum—beginning with a gateway course and culminating in a senior capstone project—and opportunities for practical experience that allow students to combine theory and practice, applying what they have learned in the classroom and in their research. Education Studies, Energy Studies, Global Health Studies, and Human Rights are among current multidisciplinary academic programs offered in Yale College.
The Committee on Majors uses the following guidelines for the consideration of proposals for new multidisciplinary academic programs in Yale College:
- All such new programs shall be vetted by the Committee on Majors before being presented to the Yale College Faculty for consideration. Evidence of faculty interest and commitment to a proposed program shall be a necessary precondition for such consideration.
- The Provost's Office shall present to the Committee on Majors its assessment of the economic viability of such proposals. All multidisciplinary academic programs should be revenue-neutral or bring their own resources; the expenses of such programs include funding for staff support, salary for outside faculty as needed, and making affordable the costs associated with summer or school-year cocurricular opportunities.
- There is a presumption that no multidisciplinary academic program will become a permanent feature of the Yale College curriculum, but that each requires periodic review and reapproval to continue. Once a program is approved for an initial set period (usually five years), a faculty-led steering group for the program shall regularly review the requirements and evaluate the commitment of instructors, mentors, and advisers to the program. Further review shall be conducted by the Committee on Majors in the penultimate year of the term for which such programs may be initially approved.
- A program director, generally a person with a faculty appointment, shall be appointed by the Dean of Yale College to coordinate advising and mentoring of students admitted to the program and to oversee the curriculum and any cocurricular requirements, such as internships.
- Admission shall be limited to the number of students that can be supported by faculty resources and by the availability of required summer or term-time cocurricular opportunities.
- Multidisciplinary academic programs shall normally require a minimum of four and a maximum of six course credits for completion. Exceptions to these limits can, however, be permitted when the Committee on Majors deems them justified by the mission of the program or by the availability of resources.
- Each multidisciplinary program shall normally be responsible for creating and staffing its own gateway and final courses. The final course may take the form of a group project or of individual projects, but in no case shall its work be substantially the same as the senior project of a student's major.
- If there are prerequisite courses, those prerequisites should be available to a reasonable number of students on a regular basis.
- A defined cluster of courses drawn from a range of existing majors might form the core of the program. The roster of approved courses should be comprehensive and adaptable enough to withstand some change over time.
- An experience (such as community service, an internship, field work, or research, as relevant) outside the Yale College classroom, offered over the summer or during term time, shall be included in the program. In accordance with Yale College policy, no course credit shall be given for such experiences unless they also entail a program of regular course work.
- No more than two course credits shall normally be allowed to count toward completion of both the student's major and a multidisciplinary academic program.
Some details may vary from program to program, as appropriate.
For purposes of consistent and reliable recordkeeping, the University Registrar's Office is the official repository of information about who has been admitted to and who has completed such multidisciplinary programs.

|My "awakened" Eye 🙂
Good Morning Everyone! It's time to "fake awake"! So grab your coffee and lets get started on our quick and easy awakening makeup routine! 🙂
For this look you will only need about 5 minutes. I use this most when I'm heading to school because I have to get up at 6am and want to stay in bed as long as possible! (I'm sure many of you can relate! ;))
So this look is all about looking awake, not seeing the makeup per se! You should look really fresh and completely natural when wearing this look so don't expect to "see" the results! haha
1) Highlight your complexion with an illuminating tinted moisturizer or illuminating foundation for more coverage. If you are running extremely low on time you can forego the foundation in exchange for spot highlighting (more on that later!) A few options of good illuminating foundations that I like are:
–Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer ($42)
–Sephora Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 ($21)
Apply this all over your face using a sponge, stippling brush or just your fingers making sure to blend evenly and down your neck!
2) Next, Add a light reflecting concealer under your eyes and in any shadows (Ex/ Nose to lip folds, around the nose). Use a concealer brush or fingers to blend in for a natural glow. Some of my favorites are:
–Benefit Erase Paste ($26)
–Rimmel Recover Anti-Fatigue Concealer ($5 roughly)
–Smashbox Photo Op (for light coverage) ($18)
3) After concealing, add a pop of colour to your cheeks using a cream blush. I find cream blush to look a lot more natural than powder and it wakes up your whole face, making you look alive! Some I like are:
– Stila Covertible Color (Rosebud) ($25, but limited edition color only available in Travel Palettes)
– MAC Blushcreme (Lady Blush) ($22)
– NYC Blushable Cream Sticks (Big Apple Blush) ($3)
Blend this into the apples of your cheeks and up your cheek bones for a natural flush.
4) Moving to eyes, apply a shimmery, light shadow all over the lid, on the brow bone and the tear duct. I like NYX Smokey Eye Palette's lightest shade ($15) and Almay's Pure Blends in Petal ($6). After the shadow, apply a light coloured eyeliner to the lower lash line. Pink, nude, white or light blue are suitable colours and will all make your eyes more open and awake. I used Bonne Bell Eye Definer in Sky ($2). Make sure to blend with your finger so there are no actual lines, just a sheer wash of the colour.
5) Curl your lashes and apply one layer of mascara to continue with the natural look. Some I like are:
– Revlon Grow Luscious in Blackest Black ($8)
– Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Glam Black ($6)
– LashFusion XL Mascara in Black ($25)
6) Finish your look with powder if you need and a clear lip balm. For powder I like:
– ELF Studio Mattifying Powder in Translucent ($3)
– NYC Loose Powder in Translucent ($4)
For lip balm I use Chapstick All Natural ($2) or PeaceKeeper Power Berry ($8).
You can also use a specialty product like Benefit Bright Eyes (which I did) all around the eye to further increase the brightness. Also, you can apply a Highlighter to key points on your face such as cheek bones, brow bones, cupids bow and down the center of your nose.
|Some key Products for this look!
I hope this helps out with the morning rush! Please Comment and Follow! 🙂

Chapter 15: "The Process of Dying" Summary
Sogyal begins by separating two types of death, those of the exhaustion of the natural lifespan, and premature death. Due to karma, the lifespan is limited, and difficult to extend. However, Sogyal notes, through yoga, one can extend this limit slightly. In the case of premature death, a lifetime of good karma or forewarning can avert death.
Sogyal explains the bardo of dying as the point between the contraction of an illness or condition that results in death and the ceasing of the inner respiration. It is called painful since the bardo can be one of suffering if one is not prepared. Sogyal stresses the need to know the process of dying to avoid this suffering. He explains the process as consisting of two stages, those of the outer dissolution, where the senses...

Oil & ClimateWhat's the Connection?
March 6, 2010.
Checking the Vets' YouTube Video
Is it true?
"Oil goes up a $1Iran gets another $1.5 billion to use against us."
Not quite. The US
says Iran had net oil export revenues of $55B in 2009, and their average price was $60 (
). So they make only $0.9B not $1.5B extra per year when the price goes up $1/barrel. Did the Vets lie? Not really. They forgot that Iran does not profit from the oil it uses domestically. But with oil up $40/barrel in a bit over a year, that's a lot of money.
Also, Iran doesn't use all that money against us. A lot goes to buy votes to keep Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in power. That money is used, more or less, against the whole world.
Is it true?
"Break our addiction by passing a clean-energy climate plan."
The basic idea is right. Cutting oil use helps the climate. Cutting oil use takes money back from OPEC -- Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. The crazy part is that the environmentalists hate to admit this. Instead we find James Woolsey, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a staunch backer of the Iraq war, driving a 58-miles-per-gallon Toyota Prius. Why? For the same reason as the Vets give on YouTube.
How does it work?
Not like people think. Iran will sell its oil one place or another. The trick is that, when we use less oil, it actually reduces the world price of oil. That shouldn't be so surprising, because OPEC has be doing the reverse to us, on and off, for 37 years. Right now the Saudis are cutting back their own production by 27 percent. That's much of what's driven the price up from below $40 to about $80/barrel in the last year.
Has cutting oil use ever been tested?
Yes. Between 1980 and 1985 the world cut back, because OPEC drove the price of oil up. But that high price caused the world to conserve, and the Saudis had to cut production ever more deeply. By 1985 they had cut their output down to 25% of what it had been. Even then, price fell by about 1/3. Finally, the Saudis cried uncle and cut the price by one more third. For 18 years the price stayed low, but now OPEC is back and more unified than ever.
Carbonomics: How to Fix the Climate and Charge it to OPEC
) explains how to do what the Vets suggestmake energy security and clean energy work together. It also predicted the Copenhagen debacle and tells what to do about it.
Right wing nuts:
They are out in force saying: Global warming is a hoax so down with the Vets. Scientists have been studying global warming since 1856. I learned about it in 1965, well before Al Gore was on the scene. The UN report concludes correctly that we still don't know the answer -- it only says there's a 90% chance that more than half the warming since 1950 is man made. But I'm a skeptic. Climate science is tough. Sometimes scientists go off track for a few decades. So let's say it's not 90%, there's only a 50/50 chance the earth is in big trouble.
What should we do? Well the chance you'll have a house fire this year is 1/2 percent. So you do nothing. Right? No. Everyone buys fire insurance. So with a 50% chance of serious damage to the earth -- we buy insurance. And as a fringe benefit we recover some of the money OPEC is picking out of our pockets.
calculates that the present level of proposed climate policies could actually pay for themselves by taking our own money back from OPEC.
Left wing nuts:
They are just as bad. I've read them saying the Vets are just trying to start a war with Iran. What? So we let OPEC pick our pockets because taking our own money back might start a war? Good energy policy would reduce the chance of war and weaken the Iranian tyrants.
Sensible climate policy (not the cost-doesn't-matter type) and sensible oil security policy (not the coal-into-oil type) are both inherently non-partisan issues. It's the opposite of conservative to risk our home planet. It's the opposite of liberal to oppose taking our own money back from mid-east religious tyrants. The polarization we see is the worst side of American politics. There is a middle path that is not a compromise wishy-washy position but rather a smart and powerful answer to the two biggest risks facing our country. No, scientists are not sure of the climate or the terrorists but that's no reason to sit around waiting to see what happens to us.
P.S. Who's for OPEC?
I suspect, but cannot prove, that the real reason the US has never defended itself against OPEC is because it's an inside job. OPEC has the most powerful lobby in Washington and almost no one sees it. In fact one arm of that lobby, the National Petroleum Council, is actually a part of the Dept. of Energy but funded almost entirely by the oil industry. The trouble is fundamental. Whenever OPEC raises its pricethe world price of oilall oil companies profit. In fact Big Oil does better than the Saudis because they need not cut back production to raise the price. OPEC does their dirty work. Exxon made roughly $30 billion off the last OPEC price spike. That's enough to buy quite few politicians. Naturally, though they will never say it, big oil companies are OPEC's biggest fans.

Established in 1930, Poh Guan Cake House (宝源饼家) is a traditional Chinese confectionery that specializes in making traditional biscuits, cakes, Teochew kuehs and snacks. I visit this shop regularly to buy their yummy pastries.
Owner Chan Kim Ho took over the shop in 1958 from his father. He had to work 16-hour days with only one helper then. Mr Chan is very passionate about his craft, over the years he improves on his skills and recipes by learning from many masters. His pastries are popular
In recent years, I have seen a steady decline in the number of shops selling traditional Chinese pastries. I am glad Mr Chan has no intention to retire as long as he can still work, but long time customers like us are worried as his children are not willing to take over his business.
I come here without fail yearly to buy their sticky glutinous rice cake before Chinese New Year commences. Many Chinese couples come here to order their traditional wedding cakes. Singapore's famous actress, Fann Wong bought her traditional wedding cakes here too. :)
Now, this is one traditional biscuit which my family and I love. We will munch this while watching TV programmes. It has a savoury filling and the more you eat, the more fragrant and tasty it is.
Poh Guan Cake House is also popular for its tasty sweet or savoury bean cakes (Tau Sar Piah) in Singapore. All their pastries are handmade and contains no preservatives.

In 2013, Hannah developed a love of intricate paper cutting while creating pieces for the New York Philharmonic's production of A Dancer's Dream: Two Works by Stravinsky at Lincoln Center... this has led to many commissioned works for the Broadway community. Hannah's cuttings are highly personalized and range from 2 x 3 inches to wall size.
Buffalo Nickel
She says, "The piece Buffalo Nickel was a commission from Tony Award-winning lyricist Lynn Ahrens as a 25th anniversary gift for her husband Neil Costa. The piece captures their lives together - all of Lynn's Broadway shows, the homes Neil built, their travels, the five cats they've had as pets over the course of their marriage, and words that are significant to them. In the center of the piece is the Christmas tree that they were married under 25 years ago - a surprise wedding. They knew they were getting married, their four friends thought it was just a regular old dinner party!"
This time-lapse video shows Hannah's process and is set to "Buffalo Nickel Photoplay, Inc." from the musical Ragtime by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Summer Spirits
Rather than working from a sketch, Hannah visualizes a picture in her mind and goes to work snipping a blank sheet of paper with a miniature Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. "No template, no tracing, and no road map except a belief that the paper will fall away and reveal the story inside." Occasionally she will use a scalpel for long, straight cuts, but prefers the look of a scissor cut, utilizing the time-honored technique called scherenschnitte.
Hannah says she is often asked what she does if a cut goes wrong. Her reply is that she just changes direction so it is no longer a mistake. "Some of the most exciting elements actually come from the snip that went too far."
Tom's Departure
"In the photo below, you can see the piece "Aren't We Lucky" in progress, along with photos of the house I'm working to capture, my two little green knives, a cup of tea, and a little pencil where I'm checking off the long list of elements to include in the snip. There were six pages of elements to include for this particular commission... it took well over 70 hours to complete."
Hannah and I corresponded about her professional life, which as she described "is pretty evenly divided between writing musicals and books (where I put music notes and words down on paper to create a story) and making scherenschnitte (where I take things OFF paper to reveal the story)."
Books and Berkowitz
"My newest original musical, HANSEL & GRETL & HEIDI & GÜNTER - a dark and quirky family comedy - is currently in development with the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. This very second, I'm finishing a series a six children's books for a company in South Korea. Once they're published, we'll be turning them into a full-length show. It's a very paper-centric life!"

Return to Toilet Question List
Repairing A Leaking Toilet Flapper Valve
Between flushes, my toilet makes a noise like water is running into it. What is happening and how do I fix it?
The most likely problem is that water is leaking around the flapper in the bottom of the toilet tank. When the water in the tank drops to a certain level, the intake valve thinks "Duh... somebody musta flushed, so I better turn on and fill da tank!" The valve turns on, but since the water level has only dropped a few inches at most, it only stays on for a few seconds, till the level is back up to normal.
Before you replace the flapper, lift it up and run your finger around the flapper seat. Are there any bits of stuff stuck to the seat? If so, dislodge them and see if that solved the problem. If your hands became blackened from handling the seat or the flapper, then you have found your answer... the flapper is dissolving and must be replaced.
Chlorine or acids in the water cause rubber flappers to deteriorate. In-the-tank automatic toilet cleaners generally contain so much chlorine that they will destroy the flapper (and all other seals and gaskets), making it twist and distort. This causes a poor seal leading to intermittent and eventually constant leakage.

Australia to Conduct Continent-Wide Survey to Find New Species
Photo: NASA, public domain.
How About Doing the Same Everywhere?
Australia's Environment Minister, Peter Garrett, have just launched a new initiative to find new species. This isn't just some half-assed survey of a few areas, though. We're talking about a multi-year continent-wide search for native species in areas were few, if any, humans have gone.

Spending $10 Million Australian Dollars to Discovery Priceless Species
The project, known as "Bush Blitz", will try to discover as many new species as possible in Australia over the next three years. "The Bush Blitz will undertake a total of eighteen major expeditions during three years. Groups will be made up of 10-12 scientists and volunteers who will survey the nation's reserves for hidden biological treasures. The program is focusing on places that are little-known both to the public and researchers. "
This is part of a larger effort to bring attention to biodiversity:
The UN declared 2010 the International Year of Biodiversity (IYB). Throughout the year countless initiatives will be organized to disseminate information, promote the protection of biodiversity and encourage organizations, institutions, companies and individuals to take direct action to reduce the constant loss of biological diversity worldwide.

Rumors have been going haywire about the next version of Android, and now Google is giving us a look at it. Currently codenamed Android L, this next version of Android is the biggest overhaul of Android to date. Not only is it a huge change behind the curtain, with over 5,000 new APIs, but it's also a system-wide design change. Material Design is Google's new design language for Android, Chrome OS, and more.
Material Design uses depth and tactile animations to help make Android's design more realistic. Animations include ripple effects and seamless transitions when scrolling or selecting. The entire language is designed to be extremely fluid and carry smooth transitions throughout actions. Different elements can float above other UI elements, with dynamic lighting and shadows. Splashes of color bring life to the UI, and a new feature called Palette allows the OS to instantly source color from images and use that same color in other UI elements. The entire design is seamless throughout Google's products, allowing a consistency that has never been seen with Android.
Android L also brings more powerful notifications, including a combination of the notification shade and the lock screen. This allows for faster and easier access to notifications. There's also a heads-up feature for when you're using a full screen app. Heads-up can give you instant access to actions regarding the notifications.
The main feature of Android L is obviously Material Design, which can expand between different screen sizes while still retaining the same consistent design. The Developer Preview code will be available later today for developers to begin exploring and working with.

I dreamt
I swallowed the ocean
Or it swallowed me
My throat a pillar of salt
I joined my ancestors
On peaks above the jungle
They left me to watch
And to remember
But salt burns the living
In a thousand tiny cuts
Like the lime juice
My grandmother
Washes over her hands
To slow the marks of age
The freckles passed down to me
Fading into brown skin
Till the sun calls
I will not forget
I shout

StatGear's Auto Survival Kit Designed to Help Save Lives Amid Cold Weather and Accidents Across the US
Jan 22, 2014, 08:40 EST
FLUSHING, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the National Highway Safety Administration, auto accidents kill more than 40,000 people in the U.S. each year and are the number one cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 34, but thanks to the developers of a newly released Auto Survival Kit by StatGear, people across the US now have something that could save their life in case of an auto accident amid the current cold front and icy weather that's plaguing the nation.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140122/PH50132-a )
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140122/PH50132-b )
"Our new patent-pending Auto Survival Kit design allows for the kit to be secured on the passenger side sun visor for easy access of our T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool and lots of first aid supplies in the event of an emergency," said Avi Goldstein, president of StatGear.
The availability of StatGear's Auto Survival Kit could prove to have perfect timing due to nationwide reports that increasingly icy roads, freezing rain, and gusting winds have contributed to hundreds of accidents across the US, keeping the country's emergency crews on their numbed toes.
Goldstein, who is a NY City Paramedic, explained that the purpose of the patent-pending kit design was to keep life-saving tools and supplies within an arm's reach in the event of an emergency.
With the frigid air that set records across the Midwest, stopping trains and planes and driving up energy use, which may deliver the coldest day across the U.S. in almost 20 years by a measure of heating demand, StatGear's Survival Kit could come in handy.
In fact, Tuesday's low in Chicago reached a record for the date of minus 16 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 27 Celsius), beating the mark of minus 14 set in 1884 and 1988, according to the National Weather Service.
It dipped to 4 degrees in New York, breaking a record for the date set in 1896.
On January 21, New York is expected to endure dangerously cold weather with a snow emergency status.
The cold and icy weather, a historically large contributor to auto accidents, is part of a pattern of extreme weather that occurs every decade or so, according to forecasters.
The Auto Survival Kit, according to Goldstein, has a unique patent-pending design which enables the entire kit to be secured to the passenger side sun visor.
"The Auto Survival Kit is made of stylish, yet durable EVA foam and is stuffed with commonly-used first aid and survival supplies ranging from standard gauze pads to tweezers for splinter removal," Goldstein pointed out, before adding, "The Auto Survival Kit also features the T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool in a side pocket for easy access."
The new survival kit, company officials say, goes hand-in-hand with its T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool, which was featured in the December 2012 Holiday Gift Guide of Men's Health Magazine.

When Venus FellBook - 1998

I do enjoy Smith's novels, and I'm glad the SPL system carries them for they are pure delight. This one I'd read before, and may have been the first I read by her, and while I'd remembered some of the circumstances of the plot - I didn't remember the story. Reading it again, it is not my favorite Smith novel but it is everything I have come to expect from her - interesting characters, intriguing situations, and an ultimately up-lifting story. I particularly like the communities she makes - not necessarily of families but of people throwing in together to survive and become better than they would be separately.

Building consent amendments
Changes to consented building work are often proposed during a building project. While the 'approved building consent' (obtained before work commences) is the foundation document for most building work, the building consent process does allow for this consent to be altered before or during construction - through the building consent amendment process.
At the end of the building project, the approved building consent documentation needs to be an accurate reflection of what has actually been built.
Changes to an issued building consent
All changes to the issued building consent documents must be approved and recorded by the Building Consent Authority.
Minor variations
A variation that is minor is a change that does not usually affect compliance with the Building Code - for example, the type of taps used or positioning of kitchen joinery or non-structural walls or door. Both Council and owners building consent documentation should be updated to reflect these changes. Please discuss and record any minor variations on site with your Building Inspector.
Generally, where the work is outside the scope of the original consent (e.g. additional footprint or increases in floor area, construction method, or significant changes to the layout), this would be considered an amendment and requires an application to make the proposed change(s).
An amendment or minor variation must be approved by the Building Consent Authority before the new work is undertaken.
Applying for an amendment
Building work affected by an amendment must not be undertaken until Council has issued the amendment. Council has 20 working days to process an amendment application.
Please call our Customer Service Centre on 03 546 0200 to arrange a lodgement meeting for your amendment application.
GoShift application forms
Nelson City Council uses GoShift forms: a common set of building consent application forms, to provide consistency and improve customer service across participating Councils. For more information, please visit the GoShift website.

Windows 10 Home Premium 64bit sp1
I just recently sold my HD 5770 and it scored a 7.4/7.5 on my system as well. I also don't think those tests accurately reflect what the HD4000 graphics will do, because according to everything I've read there is no way mine should run games as good as they do. I have no explanation for it either. I would agree it is equivalent to something in the HD 5000 series. In a flat out foot race, I would say it is close to a 5770, even though the WEI numbers are a full point lower.
I don't know about that I played Dead Island with a Diamond HD5770 and had the settings pretty close to maxed out and it ran smooth as butter HD4000 doubt would even come close to that
I would assume it would struggle especially with the Video cut scene's I don't even think it's in the league of a 5770 maybe a low end 5450 or closer to 5670 but no 5770

Like I said, it depends on the game and how it is coded more often than not.......some are more CPU dependent and some are more GPU dependent. That is the only explanation I have for why mine run so well. I probably should amend my statement to say that I believe they are close to my 5770 in the games I've played, because I can max out settings in those particular games with the HD4000. You are correct though, it's equivalent is probably a 5400-5600 card.

February is American Heart Month
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are our nation's No. 1 killer. Since 1963, February has been proclaimed American Heart Month and at Heart Rate Monitors USA, we want to do our part to make sure that you're taking care of your heart. After all, without your heart, it just wouldn't be possible to do the things you love.
Running, hiking, biking, walking, breathing…these are all things that depend on your heart's health.
Here are 5 easy ways that you can take care of your ticker so that you can continue to enjoy running, biking, hiking, or whatever else you love to do!
- Cut back on the fat, sugar, and salt. When consumed in excess, these three things are a huge risk to your heart health.
- Care for your heart by incorporating more omega fatty acids into your diet.
- Drink more water. Not only will it keep your body hydrated, but switching to water instead of soft drinks can help eliminate those added sugars, caffeine, and salts that can easily creep up on you throughout the day.
- Exercise! If you can, try to exercise about 30 minutes every day. Even if it's just a walk around the block, exercise helps to keep your heart healthy and your metabolism boosted.
- Cut back on the stress. If you're feeling anxious, make time to relax. Meditate. Take a hot bath. Get a massage. Stress can make your heart work overtime.
What are some ways that you take care of your heart?
