"Humour for the thinking person wrapped up in masterful music, witty repartee, and some self-deprecating insight" ★★★★★ – Weekend Notes
"Fans of Tom Lehrer, or Tim Minchin, will be right at home here…The audience received a veritable cornucopia of sonic delights" – Australian Arts Review
WINNER | Best Emerging Artist, Adelaide Fringe Weekly Awards
NOMINEE | Best Original Songs, Green Room Awards
Award winning duo Alice Tovey and Ned Dixon are rewriting the man-ual with their exciting new show, Mansplaining.
"Fierce operatic rock goddess" (Aussie Theatre) Tovey and powerhouse composer Dixon return to the stage in their third collaboration to take audiences on a journey of masculinity, misogyny and the millennial man.
Alice and Ned's other productions include Existential Crisis (A Rock Opera), Malice and Personal Messiah. Their unforgettable original songs are "polished, personable and pitch perfect" (Radio Adelaide) and razor-sharp humour "sassy, smart and sultry" (The Plus Ones). If you think that's impressive alliteration, just wait til you hear some of Alice's new lyrics – they certainly give her 9 minute beat poem about Beyonce a run for it's money.
Amidst a jam-packed 2016, Malice (featuring songs about everything from Karl Stefanovic to anti-vaxxers) earned a Green Room Award nomination for Best Original Songs and won an Adelaide Fringe Weekly Award for Best Emerging Artist. In addition to their collaborative work, Alice featured in Melbourne Recital Centre's Wagner in Paris, and Ned was invited to premiere a selection of new work at Composure, an emerging composers event presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Chroma Collective.

Mount Rushmore was sculpted under the direction of Danish-American artist Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln Borglum. The memorial required a workforce of nearly 400 men and women, and it took 14 years to complete.Continue Reading
Borglum was born to Mormon Danish immigrants in 1867 in the Idaho Territory. He studied sculpture at the Academie Julian, working alongside and influenced by the noted French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Returning to the United States in 1901, he sculpted pieces for the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In the early 20th century, he began to sculpt pieces that thematically illustrated his interests in heroic national identity. He carved Lincoln's head from a six-ton block of marble and a statue of Civil War General Philip Sheridan. Borglum began a project to carve the likenesses of three Confederate leaders of the Civil War into the side of Stone Mountain in 1923, but he quit the project after clashing with the financial backers.Learn more about US History

We are taught never to judge a book by its cover for appearance can be misleading and surprises unfold. One's heart may not be as beautiful as the face and a plain exterior may very well have the most exciting personality that others can only hope for.
Nobody enjoys being judged critically based on appearance alone because we believe we are worth more than what meets the eye. Additionally, it is rude and discriminating to form assumptions according to one's look.
You would be upset if somebody thinks you're immature and an incapable adult just because you have a childish face or that you don't stand out as a pretty being in which people concludes that you are a loser with no greatness in presence.
In every way, we are not pleased if people were to judge us according to our exterior — especially when they get us at the wrong angle! (Laughs)
Although we do our best to refrain from being so judgmental, we still commit this act rather shamelessly, which brings me to wonder…
"How do you judge a book by its cover?"
What is it that you sought after in a person's face to tell you if he or she is a pleasant or a menacing individual? <.__.>
Is it by their outward presentation; the way they style their hair? The clothes they wear? Does the way a person smile affects your thoughts and feelings for them?
There are many signs and things to look out in a person that helps us to give an idea or pre-warn ourselves what kind and how an individual might turn out to be.
Personally, I used to hate it when people make assumptions about my persona. A number of people thought I was an evil snub and that I'm anything but a Chinese (which I really am a Chinese!). Or that I look older than my actual age and… <-__-> .. a few other stuff.
However I came in terms that I cannot stop people for assuming based on my looks therefore what you can do is, as you may have already been taught — Prove them wrong. <^-^>/ (Laughs)
I admit, I do judge people by their looks and I'm not ashamed of doing so because I always tell myself, "Hey! You could be wrong — I hope you are wrong! This person could be a good person for all you know so please, give a chance!"
Do not jump to conclusions until proven to be true.
However my dear friends and readers, please…
I hope when you are judging people from their looks, do not judge by their natural born features.
That's silly and you get nothing out of it.
How does having a slightly imbalanced eye width indicates that this person is a bad or good person? A slightly bigger than usual nose does not mean this person is a greedy pig just like a natural born wide doe eyes does not imply an everlasting innocence.
In other words, to judge you have to be wise and just. You read a person by their behaviors and the way they carry themselves — Not by picking natural born flaws and defects. That is so mean. <`A´>/
When you get careless and fall on your butt, does your friend give away that gentle and kind smile? Or does she have that sinister 'Serve you right, biatch' grin?
I guess that's how we tell a person's character? Or at least this is how I do it. <_ _>lll
… Am I doing this the wrong way… I wonder. <´•ω•`>
You tell me.. and the rest of us! (Laughs)
Oh, one last thing I would like to point out.
"You can't judge a book by its cover" is quite a bullshit phrase if you ask me. We all wear ourselves on the outside one way or another. I believe we study a person's attitude and genuineness through the way we present and carry ourselves outwardly (i.e the way we dress, take care of our hygiene, speak, body language…).
It's just that I think it's ridiculous to read and make assumptions based on birth features such as how beautiful blue eyes are, small and cute noses, high cheeks, freckles — how silly. <=__=> There are no stories in those, really! (except scars and wounds)
Well then…
How do YOU judge your book covers, darlings? <´•ω•`>
Thanks everyone for the wishes and remembering my birthday — most appreciated of all — For supporting me here in PaperDiaries.com.
I love you all and may we keep in touch always, swapping stories and experience together~
This is Ms Aya, your ordinary 'O' type girl who bows her head to say,
"Thank you~~!"

Posts Tagged 'nat-pt'
IPv6 NAT-PT is to be used with IPv4 to IPv6 migration scenarios and it's purpose is to provide bi-directional connectivity between IPv4 and IPv6 domains. Cisco points out that many other transition techniques are possible, and NAT-PT (Network Address Translation – Protocol Translation) should not be used when other, more "native" options exist, such as having dual stack hosts communicate directly through dual stack routers. Another example provided of when NAT-PT is not needed is when two islands of IPv6 want to communicate over an IPv4-only backbone. We know that many different tunnels exist for this purpose. For more information about these tunnel techniques, see the Transition Technique series in this blog category.
For the job of NAT-PT, a dual-stack router with interfaces in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks is capable of performing this task. The difference from classic IPv4 NAT is that translations should be done both ways: IPv6 packets routed towards IPv4 hosts should have their src/dst addresses changed to some IPv4 equivalents and vice versa, while IPv4 packets sent toward IPv6 hosts should get both src and dst addresses replaced with IPv6 addresses.

03 Sep UK 10,000m revival continues with BMC Track Festival this weekend
The British Milers Club and Trafford AC 10,000m Track Festival returns for its second outing this weekend as concerted efforts to continue the 10,000m track revival continue.
Entries have stood up well just one week out from the Great North Run and without the added bonus of being part of the Run Britain Grand Prix this time around, with race organiser Steve Green saying he is "delighted" numbers look set to match the 92 finishers achieved across five races in 2014.
"Entries are just below the 100 mark and many of the athletes running will be making their track debuts," said Green. "The quality has remained high, with Gary Thornton (29.03) and Lars Sodergald on the men's side plus Laura Whittle (32:46) on the women's. Jack Morris is another sub-30 runner with great potential so we're hoping the races deliver some fast times and many personal bests."
With a 10,000m best of 28:20, former Great Britain international Steve Kenyon will be on hand to offer tips and advice to athletes across the afternoon. The former Great North Run winner and nine-time World Cross Country competitor will be starting the races and presenting Northern Championship medals in his role of guest of honour.
Runners and riders
Pacemakers are set to take the "A" race out at 14:50 tempo through halfway, with the race representing one of the final opportunities for sub-30 minute clockings this year. 20 men have already gone inside the mark on the track in 2015 and three more this weekend would see numbers hit the highest mark achieved since 2009.
Just eight women are among the near-one hundred entries, though a realistic sub-34 minute debut from the current UK 5,000m number-two Laura Whittle (15:22) would see the George Gandy-coached athlete march into the 2015 UK top-10 for the 25-lap distance.
"We've publicised the event almost entirely via Facebook this year and had great support from Chorlton Runners, who are bringing around 25 athletes and always make a big noise and bring a lot of support," noted Green. "Ben Pochee and the Highgate crew will also be there supporting the event. I think once this event gets into its third year, it will start to grow."
Scott Overall (29:18) and Sarah McCormack (33:38) recorded the fastest male and female times in ideal conditions twelve months ago. With mostly cloudy conditions and only a light wind expected this weekend, personal bests could tumble once again.
PB opportunities
BMC chairman Tim Brennan highlighted the range of abilities and times that have entered the 25-lap festival this weekend and added "we are joining forces with Highgate to enhance 10k track opportunities."
With other track events getting in on the 'big event' idea and looking to bridge the gap in providing attractive track racing opportunities, such as the inaugural Hercules Wimbledon 5,000m Festival two weeks ago, the popular blueprint to PB success is being replicated and flourishing across the country.
The first of four races this Saturday starts from 2:00pm and athletes and fans alike are encouraged to head to Lonford Park to show their support.

Country Club Hills firefighters watching television this afternoon spotted the 14-year-old wanted for allegedly stabbing to death his stepfather in an argument over homework and called police, who arrested him near the station, officials said.
"The child is in custody now, safely in our arms," said Mayor Dwight Welch, whose south suburban community is reeling from five murders in little more than a week.
The boy was charged as a juvenile with first-degree murder and was ordered held in custody Monday. He appeared before Judge Michael Stuttley. His next court date is March 3 in Markham.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
"Okay. So over the past few weeks I've been in the middle of pursuing a new job. Since the beginning of the interview process, I've had five interviews -- FIVE -- for the same position. I feel that they all went well, and I made a great impression on my potential employers. After my final follow-up thank you note to my interviewers, the head honcho said he would be in touch with me within a week with their final decision. Well folks, it's been a week. Nothing. I really want to follow up and ask, without sounding annoying, but should I? I mean, if it was one or two interviews, I might have let it go. But after five, I feel like I at least should get an answer. There's a fine line between professionally assertive and desperate. Should I call/email to follow up, or just leave it and assume I've been rejected?"

A game created by Lucas Arts in 2003. This game continuates Jedi Outcast but in this one you are a newb Jedi apprentice who either goes good or evil. Although some levels are a bitch and some are fun as hell. It is a Quake 3 engined game which is sexy. In the game you face all sorts of challenges as well as choices such as lightsaber, weapons, and darkside/lightside powers. Your Kyle Katarns apprentice whom has another apprentice named Rosh Penin who is the worst Star Wars character whom is next to Jar-Jar. When you get to the end of the game you can kill Rosh or not. (I prefer to kill the little fucker for the sake of being me) Then you go to Korribann to fight Tavion from JKO whom is trying to ressurect Marka Ragnos. Basicly thats it now. On to Multiplayer... there is much choice between FFA or TFFA or my favorite: RPG. Oh yes readers, RPG. RPG that makes it fun for us all I say, you basicly have no First through 27th U.S. Constitutional Amendment Rights. It is basicly controlled by Europeans who envy America and insult it for supplying it with billions of American tax payers money. Back to RPG. You have to work your way up from the bottom and if you miss a rule servers such as Zone will ban you for 2 days or more. Best way to avoid this head on Fuck-You-Sideways condition is that you never play a Jedi Academy RPG game. Do something contructive like play Call of Duty.

Twitch Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Early game: Try to lane with a tanky character like rammus, it's even better if he has some kind of a taunt to help you get ur shots in. The reason you're starting with expunge instead of ambush like most twitches do is that you really got to understand that you will be killed in a matter of seconds when they turn to focus you. Let the tanky one attack first so you can get a couple of shots in and blow em up with ur godlike ability.
Mid-game: You can start using ambush to go on gank-duty. With ur bloodthirster most likely finished by now and berserker greaves at ur speedy disposal, you should be able to help close down midlane (this is taken into consideration of you not being in mid, you'll have to go with a different approach). You won't be in such high need of those speedlike items with the combination of ur ambush and shoes (and ulti if you need it). If the enemy has an oracle without you knowing it you can easly exhaust him, put on ignite and rain hell on his ***.
End/late-game: This all comes down to how you've been doing earlier this game! You will have to coop with your team more than you have been doing throught the game and be rather careful since some on the opposing team might have quite high burst dps! Twitch is really squishy and can easly be blown away by bursts of annie and malzahar. Suppress these early and don't be the one to engage (duh!). If you've been able to execute this build and playstyle good enough the enemy-team will most likely have some oracles and wards running around, so inspect them before jumping them. Have gotten a easy quad kill with only ulti as they tried to down a tower with me alone, so with this damage it should be a breeze. (can get frozen mallet if they target you alot!)
Comment and rate as this is my first guide!

Example Case Study
There follows a simple example of the type of case study that might be given to you at a selection centre either individually or to solve as a group. This exercise tests your decision making, analytical reasoning skills and your ability to put forward a persuasive case - all important management skills.
In a real life selection centre you would be given about 40 minutes to study the problem which follows and to produce recommendations for action and the reasons behind your decision. This would probably be a group exercise with other candidates, but could also be given as an individual exercise in which you had to produce a report. Real exercises may be more complex than this example.
Hitech PLC are a Korean company who produce high technology goods such as CD players. Recently they opened a factory in the town of Marstairs in Thanet, Kent, an economic development area. The factory is doing well with 69% of its sales coming from the British market. However relations with the local population are poor.
The anticipated benefits to the town from the building of the factory haven't materialised, as most of the workforce needed to be highly skilled and were brought in from other areas, thus providing little local employment. These non-locals were highly paid and have pushed up prices in the local shops and also house prices leading to resentment.
The Chief Executive is aware of this resentment and wants to improve the situation. The directors have agreed that up to £300,000 may be spent on a scheme to benefit the community and lift the company's image in the community.
Three possible schemes have been put forward:
The views of the Chief Executive and Directors are as follows:
The Finance Director
The Finance Director's Calculations:
The Marketing Director feels:
The Chief Executive
The Chief Executive has said that she would like to see other benefits to the company as well as the public relations boost.
The Chief Executive has asked you, as a promising young manager, to study the three proposals and make a recommendation on which of the schemes the company should support and why for consideration by the Board of Directors at its next meeting. Only one of the schemes can be supported. After examining all the information say which scheme the company should support and give your reasons.
As in real life there is no single correct answer to this exercise and most others like it. Any of the 3 schemes could be persuasively argued for, and the final solution you choose is not important. You would be assessed on how logically and eloquently you made your case for whichever scheme you decided to support.
Instead of writing your findings you might be asked to give a short presentation of your case in front of the selectors. This would test your public speaking skills, ability to present an argument etc.
This type of exercise might also be given in the form of a group exercise. Here, as part of a group of 5 to 7 candidates you would be given about 25 minutes to come to a consensus on which option to choose. Here your skills of verbal communication, teamworking, persuasiveness and time management would be looked for. A good starting point might be to decide on the criteria (cost, value to the community, publicity) you will use to decide and to rank these in order of importance. Keep an eye on the time as you would be marked down if you didn't finish.
Running this as a group exercise with students
I normally use 25 minutes for the game and then about another 15 to 20 minutes for feedback.
I have about two thirds of the each group doing the exercise (say 6 to 8 people maximum) and then one third of the group (about three people) sitting round the edge taking notes using the observers' form at www.kent.ac.uk/careers/sk/teamwork.htm#Observer
It can be great fun running two, three or four groups in the same room and writing the solutions proposed by the various groups on a board, so they can compare their conclusions.
At the end of the exercise I ask the participants to feed back first, then the observers and then myself: usually, by the time the participants and observers have aired their views, there isn't that much you need to say yourself!
I emphasise that feedback should be positive and constructive! Not "Debbie was hopeless!", but "Debbie made some very useful contributions but her voice was a bit quiet. I couldn't hear her very well, so she needs to raise her voice a bit in future."

It's that time of the year when the trees change colours every few days and flowers fill every nook and corner of the city from gardens to sidewalks.
And it's during these months that 28-year-old award-winning architectural photographer Purnesh Dev Nikhanj sets out at different times of the day to capture the city in its natural beauty, keeping in frame its architecture.
It is a project that Nikhanj, who pursued his architectural education at Chandigarh College of Architecture, strives to showcase as part of an exhibition.
"Chandigarh is a paradise for architectural photographers like me. Every tree planted here is connected to the design and from the gardens to the lake, the main avenues to marvels like the Capitol Complex, different times of the day and light makes you see it all with different perspectives. And this is the right time to capture it," said Nikhanj.
Having won the silver spot at the international Prix de la photographie, Paris (PX3) 2010 awards and recently being the youngest photographer in India to have won the Architectural Photography Award – Visual Design at the Trends Excellence Awards 2016, for Nikhanj photography is about capturing the right light from the right place to get the perfect play of lines with light and shade.
"Architectural photography is a relatively new field in India, and as an architect, I am well-versed with the vocabulary of design in architecture and interiors, understanding the ambience of the built environment and the designer's concept in depth. Here in the city and as part of my travels in India and abroad I am capturing homes, buildings, open spaces to initiate an interaction between space and design," said Nikhanj.
Abstract compositions that bring out elements between spaces, street and landscape photography are close to Nikhanj's heart, as he captures the city in various seasons, "light will interact with spaces to create magic, which gives a photographer so many possibilities".
Travelling across Punjab to document the state's heritage and cultural sites, Nikhanj hopes to soon shoot European architecture with an Indian perspective. Photography is about capturing the right light from the right place to get the perfect play of lines with light and shade. It is to freeze the unseen connections between different elements in space. Architectural photography is a craft that makes me bring out the soul of the design."

Invented in 1983, the neodymium magnet, though not well-known, is the world's most powerful permanent magnet. Composed of approximately 70% iron, 5% boron, and 25% neodymium, neodymium magnets are utilized in electric motors, smart phones, hard drives, headphones, speakers, and many more applications. Compared with its predecessor, the Samarium Cobalt magnet, it is 1.5 to 2 times stronger with less density. Recently, China, the biggest producer of neodymium, has limited exports, causing concerns of shortages. This has caused resurgence in domestic mining and raised possibilities of reduced dependence on foreign imports, hopefully attracting attention to limited resources.
A modern-day CEO can be found cruising through town in his hybrid vehicle, typing away on his smart phone while listening to music through his headphones. All of the items he utilizes contain one common element: the neodymium magnet. The neodymium magnet was invented in 1983 [21] but has not received much attention. Even though these magnets are a crucial part of electronics today, many people have no idea what they are or what their purpose is. Invented and developed by General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals, neodymium magnets, or NIB magnets, are made up of 70% iron, 5% boron, and 25% neodymium [2]. The key ingredient in this compound is the rare-earth metal neodymium, its namesake. Together, these three elements form the strongest type of permanent magnet known to man. The magnets are strong enough to hurtle through the air and break fingers. However, despite their inherent dangers, utilized properly, neodymium magnets can be extremely useful to society.
The neodymium (or neo) magnet was created because the previous industry standard of the Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnet was becoming too expensive. A more cost-efficient magnet was needed. Neo magnets were simultaneously discovered and created in 1983 by General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals [1]. The two companies utilized different processes in creating the magnet. General Motors created them in a powder-bonded form while Sumitomo made them in a sintered form. These two different methods of production resulted in slightly varied properties for the magnets, with the sintered form exhibiting marginally stronger magnetic properties.
Prior to the Samarium Cobalt magnet, the standard was the Alnico alloy combination magnet, or Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt. This alloy magnet was used until the 1970s, when rare earth metals began making their way into the magnet industry. Although termed a "rare earth metal" based on its location on the periodic table of elements, neodymium exists plentifully on Earth's crust. In fact, it is uncommon for a modern electronic device to lack a Neo magnet. The "permanent magnet" property does not mean that it will be magnetized until the end of time. Rather, this phrase is used to describe a piece of metal that is naturally magnetized and loses its magnetism at an extremely slow rate. Once the magnetism is gone, it can not be re-magnetized. On the other hand, a non-permanent magnet can be re-magnetized infinitely, though the magnetic properties will not last for a long duration.
Neodymium, or neo, magnets are very powerful for their size. Much like ants can lift many times their own weight, a neo magnet can hold a substance with up to 1,300 times its own weight (Fig. 1). The different processes utilized (powder-bonded and sintered) to create the magnet can also result in varying properties, with neither having a distinct advantage over the other although some may argue that the bonded process is better [3]. Some of the properties used to judge the effectiveness of a magnet are remanence, the measure of the strength of the magnetic field; coercivity, the resistance to becoming demagnetized; and the Curie temperature, the temperature at which the magnet becomes demagnetized.
The magnetic field of magnet is measured in the SI unit of Tesla. A higher value indicates a stronger magnet. According to the Magnetic Materials Producers Association (MMPA), a neo magnet exhibits magnetic field strengths of 1.0-1.4 Teslas. The Samarium Cobalt only displays 0.8 to 1.1 Teslas. A common ceramic magnet only exhibits field of 0.5 to 1.0 Teslas. Also unlike its predecessors, neo magnets have less density: 7.3 g/cm3 compared to 8.3 g/cm3 for Samarium Cobalt magnets [4].

Compared to other magnets, neo magnets have higher remanence and coercivity values. However, they have a major drawback of having lower Curie temperatures. The Curie temperature of a neo magnet generally maxes out at about 350°C. While the Curie temperature is lower than that of other magnets, 350°C is more than enough of a threshold for the magnet to be useful for a large majority of household electronics and applications. Conversely, the Samarium Cobalt magnet has a Curie temperature of 800°C, making it more applicable in industry usage [5]. After a magnet has exceeded the Curie temperature, it cannot be re-magnetized and used as a magnet.
Neo magnets are also relatively cheap. A Samarium Cobalt magnet costs approximately $100 per pound, while a neo magnet costs about half of that. A very common ceramic magnet only costs approximately $2 a pound [6]. However, based on the relative cost per BHmax (the density of magnetic energy), the neo magnet comes in at $1.40/BHmax compared to $6.00/BHmax for Samarium Cobalt and $0.50/BHmax for ceramic. Besides being cost-efficient, a neo magnet's strength also permits its use in a diverse array of applications.
The strength and permanence of a neo magnet allow it to be used in many electronic devices. Every magnet creates an electromagnetic field that can be used to move a coil and create sound waves [7]. This property allows its use in speakers, headphones, and phones. Neo magnets are also found on hard drives. Overall, since the neo magnet is lighter, stronger, and cheaper than the once-used Samarium Cobalt magnet, it is ideal for making electronics more efficient.
Magnets are also an integral part of an electric motor. An electric motor relies on the concept of "opposites attract and likes repel" to obtain the mechanical energy required to move; two distinct magnets are placed in such a way that the opposite poles of a magnet will keep repelling, allowing one magnet to continuously spin (Fig. 2). This spin creates an electromagnetic field, allowing electrical energy to be converted into mechanical energy. Because the neo magnet is so powerful and permanent, it is an ideal candidate to be used in an electric motor.
The strength and relatively light density of the neo magnets allow for electric motors to be lighter, thus reducing the weight of electric vehicles. Fore example, a hybrid vehicle's motor, like the Toyota Prius (Fig. 3), houses about 2.2 pounds of neo [8].

Besides being used in electronic devices, neo magnets have many other uses. They can be used as tools around the house, for medicinal or health purposes, in educational applications, or even just for fun. As tools, neo magnets can also be used to find nails in walls, remove metal impurities from car oil, form a magnetic storage rack for various metal items, such as knives or tools [9], or even form the common refrigerator magnet. One example of a medicinal device that utilizes neo magnets is the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine. The magnetic properties of the magnets can also be used for therapy purposes, creating a magnetic flow over the body that can help relieve pain from arthritis [10]. The magnets are also currently marketed as toys, intended to be used in magnetic construction sets, for desktop novelty purposes, or to create sculptures for aesthetic pleasure (Fig. 4).

Recently, the enormous interest in becoming "greener" or more environmentally friendly has resulted in an increase in sales of hybrid vehicles. At the heart of every hybrid vehicle is an electric engine that requires the use of a strong magnet like neodymium. New smart phones also put a strain on the supply of neodymium. Currently, most of the world's neodymium is mined in China. However, China has recently begun to limit its exports of neodymium, causing concerns of shortages worldwide [11]. Without another large source of neodymium, America will no longer be able to produce the smart phones or hybrid vehicles sold every day. Although there are other mines located domestically and in Canada, the shortage is cause for concern.
With 28 years having elapsed since the discovery of neo magnets, perhaps a new combination of materials can be molded together to create a magnet with properties that rival the neo magnet. If the current demand for electronics continues, the world's supply of neodymium may be in danger of running out. These shortages and concerns can hopefully bring to light Earth's limited resources and perhaps attract some attention.

Iconic competitor Randy Couture has the respect of countless individuals due to his contributions to MMA both in and out of the Octagon. Of course, one person who won't be sending Couture a Christmas card this year is UFC President Dana White. The outspoken executive recently blasted Couture after "The Natural" inked a deal to work with Spike TV, stating the Hall of Famer was no longer allowed at UFC events amongst other nasty things.
Couture has since responded to the UFC chief's comments, explaining he isn't worried about White's behavior towards him so much as his son, lightweight Ryan Couture. The younger Couture signed a deal with the UFC prior to his father's fallout with the company and is set to debut in April.
"I'm not really concerned about whether or not I can buy a ticket and go to an event if I wanted to. I certainly still have a number of friends in the fight game, with the organization, that would probably give me a ticket if I asked for one," said Couture in a recent conversation with Knockout Radio. "My only real concern is my son and I've been a big part of Ryan's career, certainly a big part of his last three training camps as he's moved up in competition. I've helped him formulate some of those game plans in some of those camps and cornered him for his last three fights, so if that's what Ryan needs and that's what Ryan wants, then I am certainly willing to walk across that and address that issue, if Dana tries to preclude me from being a part of Ryan's career."
The 49-year old went on to state he is under the impression athletic commissions are in charge of who corners fighters rather than the UFC, though he remained hopeful White may soften his stance with a little time to cool down allowing the issue to resolve itself.
"I think the dust will settle and some of this will go away, but I also know that Dana is one to hold a grudge," said Couture. "He's not one to forget things and that's probably why he's had such the strong reaction that he's had. He's still hanging on and harboring some of the old animosity that he's had from the issues that we had in the past, so it will be what it will be."
Up next for Couture is a stint as one of the coaches on Bellator's upcoming reality show as well as a job as host on a program Spike TV is airing called Gym Rescue.

Can you tell me about orthrexia nervous a and anorexia nervosa?
They are similar: People struggling with anorexia are preoccupied with their bodies and their weight. They may take pleasure from restricting and resist changing that behavior. Those with orthorexia are preoccupied with and focused on the purity of the food they eat, rather than on their bodies. I find that both anorexic and orthorexic patients have more of a relationship to their bodies than to other people. ...Read more

text: 21 September 2012A growing number of women in California are going under the knife to have a buttock enhancement � or butt job, a surgeon has claimed. Speaking to AFP, Ashkan Ghavami, an Iranian-American who is assistant clinical professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, explained celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian are inspiring ladies to boost their behinds and make them curvier.He stated that although breast enhancements were previously one of the most popular ways of creating curves, a growing number of women are realising that the pioneering S-Curve buttock operation is a more natural way to do this. "We do liposuction with small incisions, we go in with a canula and we suction the fat into a sterile container and then we wash the fat and put it into syringes and then inject it into the buttock," Mr Ghavami stated. He claimed he has now performed the S-Curve operation on around 700 women, adding that it is a much more natural looking alternative to butt implants. What is more, the surgery could be the answer for women who are struggling with cellulite. �When I'm injecting into the buttock, we do what's called the fanning technique -- it actually improves cellulite, because it fills the skin underneath," the expert added.

Teacher rocks her way to the top and becomes the first female UK air guitar champion
It's no secret that we all wish Jack Black from School of Rock was our teacher, but these days he is too busy making films in Hollywood for the MAN – sell out.
Luckily, 29-year-old Charlotte Clarke, who is a teacher in North London, might be able to inspire her students to rock greatness as she just won the UK Air Guitar Championships.
She looks a bit odd in the video, but that's because some licensing mumbo-jumbo meant she couldn't be filmed shredding along to her favourite tune (we know, it's so not punk!).
Despite not be able to play the real instrument, Charlotte has entered the competition every year and this time round managed to nab the top prize, making her the first woman ever to do so.
The Reception teacher, who is now on her way to the World Air Guitar Championships, said: 'It was great fun.'
After beating 50 other entrants Charlotte was apparently given a giant plectrum trophy and a 'free top-of-the range air guitar' (geddit?).

Neo-Populism and Marxism: The Chayanovian View of the Agrarian Question and its Fundamental Fallacy
THE neo-populist viewpoint on the agrarian question, developed in Russia from the late nineteenth century against Marxist theory, enjoys a modified revival in India today. The theoretical care of the neo-Populist framework consists in the idea of an economically undifferentiated, virtually homogeneous peasantry, which shows extreme stability and viability vis-a-vis the competition of capitalist production; and is of superior efficiency with respect to yield. There is a basic logical fallacy underlying this view, consisting in the positing of identical conditions of production for units with differing objectives of production—"subsistence" for pesant holdings and "profit" for capitalist holdings—in a situation where they coexist and are linked through markets. In fact capitalist production cannot emerge at all unless it is accompanied by a rise in output and surplus per unit area compared to petty production,which presupposes technical change. The logical necessity of differing conditions of production implies that all the neo-Populist propositions are invalid.
When V I Lenin wrote that voluminous classic, The Development of Capitalism in Russia, from Siberian exile in the late 1890s, he intended not only to present a definitive Marxist analysis of the new capitalist production relations which were growing out of and

Additional policies
All of our gemstones are Natural, Genuine Gemstones unless otherwise stated in the listing. If you would like further information as to if, or how each stone is treated, please feel free to ask. Most gemstones are heated or may be treated, but if you are looking for an unheated, or untreated gemstone, we are happy to go treasure hunting for you. We do our best to disclose any known inclusions or treatments, however if you are interested in a full gemologist report on any particular gemstone, these are available. Please see each individual listing for if there is a charge or not. Some gem listings have the option to request a certification at no extra charge. For those that don't, the cost is usually around $75 for a certified gemologist's certification. GIA certification is also available for a fee - please ask.
If you need help deciding which gemstone will fit in a setting you already have, please let us assist you. We always recommend that you buy a gemstone for your setting based on the millimeter size of the stone, not carat weight. Two gemstones can be the same carat weight, but due to differences in cut can be different millimeter sizes and may not fit in your setting.
All photographs are of the actual stone you are purchasing unless otherwise stated. We do our best to capture the accurate color, clarity and luster of each gemstone we photograph. However, colors may vary based on lighting and the screen you are viewing the listing on. If you don't feel the gemstone is exactly what you were looking for, you may return it, no questions asked (see our Return Policies).
To date, there is no official, internationally accepted grading system for colored gemstones like there is for diamonds. Therefore you will find many different methods used by many different companies to grade the quality, color, and clarity of colored gemstones. If the gemstone you are viewing is certified, the certification will be in the listing and you can see the grade given to the gemstone by the Certifier. If the gem is not certified, we are using our decades of experience to give the gemstone the best information possible. The grading system we use mimics the diamond grading system and is used in general by many other reputable gemstone companies. Certification may yield slightly different results. Below, you will find our grading system as seen by the naked eye:
VVS – Very, Very Slightly Included. No visible inclusions to the naked eye, they are only seen with 10X magnification. It is very rare for a colored stone to have this kind of clarity.
VS – Very Slightly Included. Inclusions are not visible to the naked eye, they are only seen with 10X magnification.
SI1 – Slightly Included. Some inclusions are slightly visible to the naked eye.
SI2 – Slightly Included. Some inclusions are easily seen with the naked eye.
I1 – Inclusions are obvious to the naked eye.
I2-I3 – Inclusions are very obvious to the naked eye.
Flawless – we only grade a stone flawless if it is lab created or man-made.
Many of our clients buy colored gemstones from us to create beautiful, unique, diamond alternative engagement rings. Therefore, we are commonly asked if the colored gemstone they want will be durable enough for an engagement ring. Very often, this is determined just as much by the way the stone is worn, as it is by how durable the gemstone is. A durable gem, when worn under harsh conditions can still be damaged, or a more fragile gem when worn with gentle care can last for generations. So we have come up with a table to help you decide if the gemstone you want is practical for the type of jewelry you want to create with it. Of course these are just general guidelines. All colored gemstones should be worn with care, and we cannot be responsible for damaged or lost gemstones.
Excellent - This means the gem is very good for everyday wear. We only grade sapphires and diamonds with Excellent. Sapphires are 9 on the hardness scale, Diamonds are 10. We recommend that all engagement rings and every day wear jewelry be created with diamonds, or sapphires if possible.
Very Good - This is for gemstones rated 7.5-8.5 on the hardness scale. With proper care and careful wear, these gems should hold up beautifully.
Good - This is for gems rated 7-7.5 on the hardness scale. Please exercise proper care for these gems if you plan on wearing them often.
Fair - These gems are not recommended for everyday wear unless proper care and extremely careful wear are exercised. Even then, there is a risk of damage.
Fragile - These gems are absolutely not recommended for frequent wear. Even occasional wear should be done with full awareness that the gem can be easily damaged. We absolutely do not recommend these gems for engagement rings or wedding bands. If you do choose these gems for frequent wear, you bear full responsibility for damaged or lost gems.
Please contact us for information regarding the care of your gemstones. Factors such as the metal it is set in, the frequency it is worn, or the other gems it is set with will all affect how the piece should be cared for. We are not responsible for gems that are damaged by using improper care or cleaning treatments.
If you choose to have the gemstone you purchase appraised by your own appraiser, please know that the appraisal of loose gemstones is a very tricky process. Because there is not a Colored Gemstone system that is internationally accepted like there is with Diamonds, the value and grading of a colored gemstone is largely subjective to the Appraiser. Therefore, the value and grading may or may not match up with our purchase prices. We base our prices on what we bought the gemstones for, and their availability. Some appraisers, if they are not up with the times, may not realize that a particular gemstone has suddenly become scarce in availability. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our gemstones will appraise for the price you bought it. However, if you have any questions regarding this, you may certainly contact us. If it does not appraise where you thought it would, we can help figure out the problem.
Because there are literally thousands of different colored gemstones, and more are being discovered all the time, some gemstones look very similar. We always do our best to accurately identify all gemstones that we sell. Should a gemstone you buy from us ever come back appraised as a different gemstone than was stated in the listing, we will refund your money in full (see our Refund Policies for how to return a gemstone), plus we will pay for the insured shipping both ways, and your appraisal fee upon receipt of the appraisal. In order for your refund to be processed, you will need to provide proof in the form of an appraisal completed by a certified gemologist. Please contact us for details.
We do not sell any information we collect from you to outside companies. Your email, phone number, and any other personal information we use to complete your transaction will never be shared or sold.

To believe his scenario on the impacts of the $85 billion in cuts, you have to believe the federal government is 100 percent efficient; that any penny cut from spending would damage the daily life of every American.
To see how preposterous the claim is, imagine a smaller example — a family with a weekly budget of $100. Under Obama's math, cutting $2.30 a week would mean the family would have to give up its home, car and food.
It sounds crazy because it is, especially because Obama proposed these cuts in the first place. He knows he's blowing smoke, so why does he do it?
