WOW, look what we have here, my my!
Seams that Hillary actually hates Obama's guts!
This is surprise even for us, we did not expected this!
It is totally possible Trump to like Obama way more then Hillary?!
According to Daily Mail:
" A wealthy private equity investor told former Secretary of State Colin Powell that Hillary Clinton 'HATES' President Obama in newly leaked emails between the two men that were leaked by D.C. Leaks and obtained by The Intercept.
Jeffrey Leeds wrote to Powell in one email which was posted on Twitter by Lee Fang that all Clinton wants is to win the upcoming election, and that she might not win in the end.
He then went on to say: 'It's the one prize she wants. She has everything else. And she HATES the President ('that man' as the Clintons call him) kicked her a** in 2008. She can't believe it or accept it.'
In another March 2015 email exchange between the two the men talk about Clinton's health, with Leeds stating that Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse informed him that 'she could barely climb the podium steps' when the two gave a speech at the same event a few months prior.
DailyMail.com has reached out to both Leeds and Whitehouse for comment.
Leeds also wrote to Powell about other problems he believed Clinton would be facing in the upcoming election.
'No one likes her and the criminal thing ain't over,' wrote Leeds.
'I don't think the president would weep if she found herself in real legal trouble. She'll pummel his legacy if she gets a chance and he knows it.'
That message was sent with a forwarded email from Politico declaring that Bernie Sanders had won Maine in the primary election.
In the email where the men were discussing her health, Powell also said about Clinton: 'On HD TV she doesn't look good. She is working herself to death.'
He then goes on to tell Leeds that the two were at the same home in San Francisco and he 'ducked her so we didn't turn loose another email story by being seen together.'
In an email exchange Powell had with another former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, her called Benghazi a 'stupid witch hunt.'
Powell wrote: 'Basic fault falls on a courageous ambassador who thoughts Libyans now love me and I am ok in this very vulnerable place.'
He then added in the email, which was seen by Buzzfeed: 'But blame also rests on his leaders and supports back here. Pat Kennedy, Intel community, DS and yes HRC.'
Rice responded by saying: 'Completely agree. Let me know when you're in town and we'll have that glass of wine (or two).'
In other emails seen by The Daily Caller multiple people seem to suggest in exchanges with Powell that he plans on endorsing Clinton for president.
Christie Whitman, the former New Jersey governor who has already endorsed Clinton over Trump despite being a Republican, wrote to Powell in late July: 'Have you endorsed her yet?'
Powell responded by writing: 'Nope.'
He later added: 'You'll recall that in 2008 and 2012 I waited until early fall.'
In another exchange, Powell's friend Harlan Ullman responded to a story the former Secretary of State sent out about Trump's negative remarks about the Khan family by saying: 'When are you going to throw the knock out blow?'
Powell responded to this by saying: 'I try not to bother someone who is beating himself and the GOP up. And please, don't start bugging me like every newsie and getter in town.
'I and when I do it will be known.'
Powell was not happy however when Clinton and her 'mafia' tried to drag him into what he referred to as 'emailgate.'
In a series of emails he asks Cheryl Mills, who has worked with both Bill and Hillary, to make sure his name is not brought up when members of the Clinton team speak about her email scandal.
He continues to write her as his name continues to come up, and finally threatens in one email from August 19 that was seen by The Daily Caller to 'send an even tougher counterattack from a Trump media friend.'
Powell complained about becoming a scapegoat for the Clinton campaign to a confidant one week later in an email that was seen by The Intercept.
'HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it,' wrote Powell.
'I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton's party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these 'character' minefields.'
He also wrote the entire situation was 'dumb,' saying: 'She should have done a 'Full Monty' at the beginning. I warned her staff three times over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement.'
In an email to Leeds, Powell wrote about the scandal: 'They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine.'
He added: 'Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.'

The idea that a folding OLED display will somehow revolutionize portable product design and create a volcanic market expansion periodically raises its ill-conceived head. A recent occurance was the presentation by UBI Research president Choon Hoon Yi at IMID 2016 in Jeju entitled "Flexible OLED Opens New Digital Convergence." Yi's "digital convergence era" refers to the convergence of phone and tablet, in which the screen can be completely folded and unfolded, allowing a 5-inch phone screen to become tablet sized.
Is it possible to develop OLED displays so flexible they can be said to fold? Yes. Is it then plausible that such a display can be integrated into a "convergence" product that consumers will actually buy in large numbers? That part is questionable.
The foldable concept most people seem to think of is shown in this photo of a 2013 Samsung design demonstration. The display inside the folder wraps around both halves to make the double-sized display when the folder is opened. So, when the folder is closed, we have three thickness of display. Well, okay, polymer OLEDs are thin. We also have three thicknesses of touch panels, three thicknesses of Gorilla glass, and at least two flex circuits. You'll probably need multiple audio drivers, microphones, and cameras so they can be pointed in the right directions when the folder is open and closed. This is becoming a rather beefy device, and consumers like their phones thin. They have also, especially in North American and Asia, enthusiastically rejected clamshell phones. And this is, no matter how you try to wriggle around it, a clamshell.
Next problem. When the device is open and in tablet mode, the screen must be rigid and flat both to provide a distortion-free image for movie watchers and a usable touch screen for swiping and typing. That means our folder can not be made of flexible, supple Corinthian leather, unless its supported with a rigid sheet of something. And the folding part has to be supported by a robust hinge that locks at 180 degrees, and perhaps at other angles, as well.
Can each of these design challenges be dealt with by clever engineers and lots of development money? Sure they can, but in the end you are significantly compromising the user's experience of a phone or a tablet in order to create this convergence device.
Compare it with the iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7, which are slim, sleek, polished, and very, very good at what they do. The Galaxy S7 has an OLED display and the S7 Edge has a flexible one. Of course, it is only flexed once, when the phone is assembled, but that's enough.
In fact, while it is very easy to envision extremely useful applications for flexible OLEDs, it is very hard to envision practical applications that require the OLED to be flexed more than once. Except for one. But that's another story.

My name is Ron Johnson and I have been teaching for the last 22 years, mostly in sixth grade. Although I have taught all the subject areas, I have spent a lot of time learning, experimenting, creating, and practicing how to effectively teach mathematics. I should have it down in another 22 years.
I try to immediately engage students in whatever we're doing. I try to integrate hands-on activities with multimedia presentations on a daily basis. From the concrete to the abstract, I try to help my students connect the dots. With a dose of music and art thrown into the lesson everyday, we try to keep both sides of the brain healthy.
Well, I've won a number of fiddle and guitar contests if that counts, including the California State Flatpicking Guitar contest one year. There was math involved.
Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. Degree's in science and civil engineering. Single and multiple subject credentials.

Obesity is a sickness that millions of Americans are suffering from. Obesity occurs if you are overweight and are beyond your ideal body mass index (BMI). Your BMI is the proportion of your height to your weight.
Obesity can be moderate or severe. Severe or morbid obesity occurs if you are almost 100 lbs overweight and have a BMI of more than 40. Obesity can cause serious complications to your health, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Lose weight
Because of the dangers posted by obesity. Americans are making a conscious effort to drop their weights. An estimated $56 billion are being spent by Americans every year on weight loss methods including diet pills, exercise, and even surgery.
weight loss meal plan, weight loss clinic, natural weight loss,
The first step
But before anything else, the first step to losing weight is to know how much weight you should lose. A weight loss goal chart can help you with this. Several websites are providing you with a free weight loss goal chart that allows you to compute for your BMI and find out your ideal weight.
Height and weight
A weight loss goal chart usually provides a table of ideal weights for people with specific heights. Some are also divided according to gender, as men and women have different computations for their BMI.
Consult with an expert
Although a weight loss goal chart can provide you with useful information about your weight, do not settle with the information you have obtained from this chart. A weight loss goal chart only provides guidance and should not be taken as a medical guide. It is always best to consult with an expert, such as a trainer or doctor to provide you with expert guidance on how to do your weight loss regime.
Aside from that, you should also be wary with the chart you are obtaining. Because several websites are now offering a free weight loss chart, it is always better to scrutinize each chart and look for only the accurate ones.

Pulse Games is hosting another of it's famous Halloween "Haunted House" experiences. This year it really is a Haunted House, where as past versions have had very varied themes. All revolve around a story line, a set of tasks you need to preform to progress, and many thrills and chills to make you jump.
A lot more info after this break.
I'd strongly suggest letting region settings take over, so you can experience it the way the creators wanted you to. Also, make sure you turn your sound on, if you don't normally have it on. There are some puzzles that have a sound element.
So besides a great story and experience, as well as something sort of unique to do in SL this halloween season, you also get an added bonus.
There is a plethora of Sponsor for the event, each offering up items you can collect during your run through of the House. There is well over 100 little rats to find, and lots of the items are either unisex, or specifically made for the guys, so this is friendly for all SLers. There is even items for petites, and I'd think many things could be modded to dragons, furries, trolls or whatever else you may be.
Make sure you click this box, it is where you will get your Game Hud, hunt object example, information cards and other relevant things.
The sign beside the box has the list of Sponsors, so if you want to see who you can hope to find goodies from, feel free to take a closer look at the sign.
The sign beside the box has the list of Sponsors, so if you want to see who you can hope to find goodies from, feel free to take a closer look at the sign.
When you click the box, you will get this wearable Clipboard, which will deliver you all the items you will need to play the game. The Hud at the upper left is what you will be interacting with thru the game. It stores things you have picked up, like clues on solving puzzles, as well as allows you to hear instructions and storyline from various characters during the game.
You are now outfitted and ready to start. Head on up the stairs, if you dare.
Start your journey HERE.
Free*Style will be doing full coverage on the Sponsors. Look back in the coming days, to see how you can style your findings, or see what you might have missed on your first run through.
I'll be linking the posts back to this one, as they get published.

Calne Divers have always prided ourselves on the friendly welcome given to new members. But don't just take our word for it. Below are testimonials written by some of our members just after the joined the club.
Unfortunately Mike has left the club now and moved from the area. Jamie, however, is still with us and is now a Dive Leader, meaning he can take junior divers into open water. Proof that if you want to, the sky (or the seabed) is the limit.
Charlie is a very recent addition but is already proving to be an asset to the club.
"Joining a dive club and finding people you will need to rely on whilst underwater is not a task to be undertaken lightly, they need to be trustworthy, diligent but at the same time you want a laugh and to enjoy the process. This is the very ethos of the people I have met at Calne Dive Club. Going from a rusty PADI open water diver and deciding to start from scratch with the SAA has been a totally enjoyable experience with this team of people.
The instructors, all of whom have a wealth of experience are patient and conscientious. Scott teaching the theory but with a wealth of practical experience that brings the lessons to life and Trevor in the pool teaching the skills and drills of a diver are excellent. Incidentally, I swear Trevor is part dolphin! No question is too dumb to ask and they are always willing to offer advice and assistance from kit selection to dive sites.
The rest of the 'family' are equally as diligent and nuts in equal measure. The club is a welcome break from reality on a weekly basis. I would thoroughly recommend the club to any beginner or old pro wanting an active diving hobby in excellent company."
Charlie Lewis
Elementary Diver
"After deciding I wanted to try scuba diving, I spent a few hours looking at the various organisations on the internet and decided that the local SAA club route was for me. I liked the idea of making new friends as well as gaining internationally recognised qualifications. I rang Jon Dodsworth (the club chairman), and was pleased to find him helpful and keen to recruit, and train new members. Jon invited me to a 'club' night in a local pub, where I met two other potential new members. I was a bit apprehensive of going to start with, as I thought the club might have its own 'in' crowd, and that it would take time to be accepted. However this was immediately put from my mind, as everybody there was friendly and seemed to want to get to know us newbies. Whenever the club meets, we all sit around together, and everybody joins in.
"As far as the training is concerned, I have been very impressed. Most of my pool training has been with Trevor, and his enthusiasm in wanting to pass his knowledge on to us pupils, is second to none. I can see his real pleasure when I have done well, and he takes his time with me, when I don't quite get something. As well as pool training, I have attended a number of theory lectures. These have plenty of revision, and I have been given books that allow me to read up in my own time.
"All in all, I am very pleased with my new club, I have met some really nice people and I have received some excellent training. I am soon to complete my 'basic' training, with a written exam and a skills assessment in a local dive centre (disused quarry). I am confident I will pass with flying colours, and I look forward to years of safe diving, thanks to Calne Divers."
Jamie King
Elementary Diver (Now Dive Leader)
"When speaking with all the guys at the club it seemed apparent that they were all mad about diving and loved to talk about their experiences. I was invited to a 'Try Dive' the following week. I turned up the following Thursday and was again met with friendly chatty club members. 'Little' Jon talked me through all the kit, showed me what everything did, and within no time we were in the swimming pool under water. Jon went at my pace asking me if I felt comfortable doing certain exercises, and within no time I was asking Jon if I could do what other club members were practicing! Everything was in a relaxed atmosphere with absolutely no pressure at all, in fact I felt 100% safe and in the right hands when it came to diving!
"After the dive I chatted with all of the club members and it was apparent that this was a socially active club that loved diving with a passion! I was talked through the whole process of what I needed to learn, how the club worked ect. The next week we were in the pool again starting the 'Elementary Diver'' course from the beginning, again at a pace that suited me.
It became clear that the knowledge in this club was phenomenal and I knew I was in the right place to learn how to dive come rain or shine.
"I'm now in my final week of pool training and have my pool test next week, all the training has gone at my pace, im very happy with my progress to date!
I do highly recommend Calne Divers as nothing for these guys is too much trouble. I have even recommended a friend who is in the process of joining."

Re^2: Perl/Tk window contents disappear when obscured then revealedby Another Ed (Sexton)

Hi BrowserUk, thanks for your reply. I was under the impression that entering MainLoop put Perl/Tk into a state of waiting for and handling user interaction, such as clicking a button on a dialog. This is not what I want to do at this point in my program: I want Perl to display a message (one which doesn't disappear), invoke an external program (the scanner program), then carry on processing (without user interaction) once the external program has been closed by the user. Sounds a simple sequence of events, but I'm beginning to think that Perl can't handle it.
Do feel free to correct me if you still think MainLoop is appropriate here. Any pointers to specific documentation other than "RTFM" would be appreciated.

This unique introduction to the growing field of microfluidics applied to genomics provides an overview of the latest technologies and emphasizes its potential in answering important biological questions. Written by a physicist and a biologist, it offers a more comprehensive view than the previous literature. The book starts with key ideas in molecular biology, developmental biology and microtechnology before going on to cover the specifics of single cell analysis and microfluidic devices for single cell molecular analysis. Review chapters discuss the state-of-the art and will prove invaluable to all those planning to develop microdevices for molecular analysis of single cells. Methods allowing complete analysis of gene expression in the single cell are stressed - as opposed the more commonly used techniques that allow analysis of only a few genes at a time. As pioneers in the field, the authors understand how critical it is for a physicist to understand the biological issues and questions related to single cell analysis, as well for biologists to understand what microfluidics is all about. Aimed predominantly at graduate students, this book will also be of significant interest to scientists working in or affiliated with this field.

I briefly touched on bike setup in an earlier article and mentioned the importance of riding the correct size bicycle and then having a bike fitting done. Cycling by nature is highly repetitive and when done over extended periods of time can cause pain and injury if your setup is not correct.
Most bike brands are very similar in size specifications however our bodies differ immensely. Your cycling friend might be 1.75m tall much like yourself but chances are his body, arm and leg lengths are substantially different. This means that he may be comfortable on a medium bike but because of the inseam length of your leg (groin to foot) you are better suited to a large frame. The same is true for body length as this will determine what top tube length (saddle to stem) will fit you best.
Crank arms are available to accommodate shorter or taller riders and while most of us fit into a the 172.5mm and 175mm arm length the manufacturers provide lengths from 160mm up to 180mm for our much shorter or taller friends.
Saddle position and height are next on the list that we need to check, most bike fitment professionals (yes there are professionals that do this) recommend that the knee joints at the bottom of the pedal stroke sits between 104 to 144 degrees on the open angle. The seat post then needs to be moved up and down to get the correct position.
To determine the correct fore or aft position of the saddle we use a plumb line (a thin line or string that has a heavy weight on the end). Firstly turn the pedal until the forward crank arm is parallel to the ground, the one end of the plumb line is placed on the inside of the knee just behind the patella (knee cap) and should fall directly in the middle of the spindle that fastens your pedal to the crank arm. You can then adjust the seat position to ensure the line and spindle stay aligned when seated.
If you were wondering how to take the measurement of the knee angle you can use a tool called a gonio-meter which we will use again to measure the next section of the setup, your reach.
Reach is the well… exactly that, it is how far you are reaching forward with your arms to grab your handle bars. Your reach can be altered by changing the length and angle of the stem, the defacto standard for shoulder angle is 90 degrees and should have most riders sitting comfortably. Stems vary in length from 70mm to 140mm so there will be one to suit your body.
There are dozens of other measurements that can be done but I have mentioned the more important ones that will have the biggest impact on your comfort. As you spend more time on the bike, cover more distance and potentially look for a more aggressive racing position you will learn and feel which dimensions you want to tweak.
Enjoy the ride.

With Yuletide comes inevitable speculation about Santa Claus' reality bending powers. Certainly, he's telekinetic, capable of levitating a half ton sleigh and nine, doubtlessly terrified reindeer in the air while he zooms around the world. The sheer volume of work he performs every Christmas Eve is positively superhuman, which also implies some sort of time manipulation ability on Santa's part: the ability to rip temporal wormholes in the fabric of spacetime, perhaps?
But as a kid, I was most mystified by how Santa Claus — three hundred pounds of jolly corpulence — not only squeezed his way down my family's foot wide chimney, but managed to cram a miniature plastic simulacrum of He-Man's Castle Greyskull down the sooty chute as well.
It's easy to explain this away with magic, but gamer as I was, I always conjured up another visual: the chimney as a Tetris playing field, with each present geometrically slotted in and dropped down to hearth with Pajitnov-like elegance. And there's probably some magic in there as well.
Now, we all know from Christmas morning that Santa doesn't use actual packages shaped like Tetris blocks, but perhaps it would make his job easier if he did. These Tetris block gift boxes measure 1 3/8 inches deep, and come in all the stock tetronimo shapes: the z block, the s block, the t block, the L block and the i Block. If you're shopping for a gaming geek this Christmas, a set of seven can be picked up from littlewhitedog's Etsy shop for only $15.

Caterpillar (Kôji Wakamatsu / 2010)
It's as if Kôji Wakamatsu doesn't care that filmmaking techniques have changed in the decades since the 1960s. His approach to staging, camera placement, and visual effect are untouched by the sensibilities that shifted in the transformation of 16mm to digital production (although my understanding is that Caterpillar was shot on 35mm). The result is a film comprised of uncomfortable aesthetic dissonance that has been received as lazy or lacking a requisite amount of subtly in order to be taken seriously.
At times Caterpillar has the freshness of the radical techniques he pioneered in the late 60s and at other times it feels the strain of amateur filmmaking; of someone trying hard to make their low-rent drama look like the big leagues. I found myself imaging how I would receive the sequences of the villagers sending Tadashi off to war if they were shot with grainy 16mm. The sequences are disarmingly simple without the artifacts of old film stocks to give a comfortable materiality. It often feels like staged reenactments filmed with a spectator's video camera. This simplicity, for me, shares the affective qualities of a recorded live performance, particularly the distant sex scenes inside the house. But Wakamatsu's combination of visually unappealing newsreel footage with plain straightforward dramatic filmmaking pushes back against the aesthetics of nostalgia that have come to dominate so much of contemporary world filmmaking regarding the World War II period. To add, Wakamatsu includes flashbacks of Tadeshi's brutal rape of a Chinese woman, which combine simple visual effects such as layering color flames over black and white footage and a digital grain filter to create what looks like abstract video art.
While so much of the narrative is uncomfortably forthright (one could say embarrassingly so in some cases), the film is anchored in a rather sly series of shifting subject positions. Amid the yelling and smashing of eggs the wife Shigeko (Shinobu Terajima) and the paraplegic 'War God' Tadashi (Keigo Kasuya) re-position themselves in relation to the national ideologies of patriotism that forcibly give their experiences meaning. At various points they are at odds with or embracing the roles that have been thrust upon them by the villagers and the radio (who speak the same language). Caterpillar is at once an underhanded contemplation of the machinations of power within ideological structures while at the same time being a rather blunt, unambiguous dramatization of individual emotional responses to these social structures.
note: these thoughts are shaped by 1. not having seen Wakamatsu's other late period works United Red Army (2008), Petrel Hotel Blue (2012), or 11 - 25 jiketsu no hi: Mishima Yukio to wakamono-tach (2012) and 2. having watched Caterpillar on Netflix instant streaming, the transfer of which seems to be of low quality.

Step-By-Step Clear-Cut About Bitdefender Antivirus Coupon Products
It's the period of year again. All the major internet security companies have released their new security products; and they are generally all looking to outdo each other with their best features and tools.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009: A brand new release in 2010 and it is already making a name for itself jointly most comprehensive and hyper-vigilant anti-virus and Internet security software, all rolled into one. Developed by the famed kaspersky labs and introduced to be an ally to the average, non-techie pc user, this Internet Security suite is really a god-send since it literally keeps your personal machine away from the very latest of the malicious programs. Available at an acceptable price for both the single user license and multiple computer licenses, this is the major improvement from its predecessors.
Once installed you must of course operate a full system scan along with familiarize yourself with the program but right off the bat this system is easy to work with and runs without the attention in its default autopilot mode. Other than pointing this software to the appropriate folder during installation for where I wanted it the install went without a problem and don't asked me for any help.
You can createBitdefender RescueCD/DVD using the ISO format available on its site, because the program utilizes open source Linux os while operating so it will be light and doesn't consume resources. If your system is infected to some deep extent and facing booting issues, then you can definitely boot it externally with all the disc. It will effectively scan the machine to eradicate a variety of malicious culprits. The software gets updated while using latest virus definition on real-time basis before it starts scanning the machine.Bitdefender RescueCD can also be powered by alternative party utilities for example ChkRootkit, Nessus Network GtkRecover etc., so as to provide comprehensive protection and also recovery from any unpleasant situation.
Even though this is amongst the most reliable softwares today but other big antivirus softwares will provide more safety measures at lower costs. Another problem with the software besides its cost is basically that you might not be capable to install it on the computer that already has malware into it. Internet security should be purchased separately from Antivirus and has a much higher cost too. Coming to the advantages of the software program you could easily point out that this is amongst the most reliable antivirus softwares out there. As it has won the award you may say it's the best software at this time.
Creating aBitdefender RescueCD is a wise strategy to encounter serious issues with Windows-based machine. You can download the .iso rescue image coming from a reliable portal and burn it with a CD/DVD with the help of a suitable burning application. In case, you aren't in a comfortable position on top of that your machine normally and rehearse Windows Restore Options to fix problems then affect the boot menu in BIOS and boot it from the rescue CD. https://bitdefendercouponcode.wordpress.com/ programs along with other assets, so earlier backup pays off you.
In the even worst when the system software has corrupted, and you really are getting registry related errors while booting the device or a blue or black background appears on your screen upon startup, or system accessibility has daunted you with recurring "error" messages like "program.exe cannot be opened" or "pathway cannot be found, then its recommended to make use of the Bitdefender Rescue CD/USB to correct errors and repair the corrupted system software.

Hammerin' Hank
A very wise man once said " Bonds is a jerk, a liar, and an ass".
I'm a little late, but I thought I'd honor Barry Bonds surpassing Henry Aaron's all time home run record with a tip the pencil to Hammerin' Hank himself.
Maybe it's that Hank was of the Ali/ Kennedy/Beatles era of relative innocence that we see him as one of our morally uncontaminated American heroes. It seems easier to put the celebrities of back in the day up on a pedestal. Maybe it's because the media wasn't as voracious in its appetite for fresh blood every day. Maybe the country still believed in itself with the afterglow of World War II still in sight. The truth is, there aren't many people who can hold up under the intense scrutiny we bring to bear, and the image of our old time heroes are akin to the nostalgic way we look back at our childhood, when everything was "better". It's all bullshit, of course.
Where was I?
I confess to not knowing much about Aaron past the home runs, the gracious demeanor, and that he was in that first wave a black ballplayers who were finally allowed to play outside the Negro League. While today's pro atheletes are suspected of enhancement through pharmacological alleyways, Aaron was said to have gained his enormous forearm strength by carrying ice blocks with tongs while growing up. However he got to where he was, he sure could hit 'em out of the park.

Can Ebola be Weaponized?
On September 16, 2014 at a joint hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, The Director of the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, testified in regard to making Ebola "more transmittable."
"I don't think you're going to get some rogue person being able to do that" after stating "the only trouble is it wouldn't be easy for somebody to do that in their laboratory backyard; they would probably kill themselves doing that," he said.
But what if the "somebody" didn't mind killing himself?

How long does it take for Ebola to incubate?
According to the World Health Organization "The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days," meaning that someone who was deliberately infected would be healthy enough to travel before becoming infectious.
Would Terrorists even need to cross the border themselves?

Right Sharing of World Resources Proposal Guidelines
Please read thoroughly. (updated December 4, 2013)
What is Right Sharing of World Resources?
RSWR is a Quaker organization supported primarily by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the United States. RSWR has two main goals: 1) Provide grants for women in the developing world to begin small income-generating businesses so that they may help themselves and their families out of poverty. 2) Help Quakers in the United States learn about the negative effects of poverty in the developing world and the negative effects of materialism in North America.
Why does RSWR provide seed grants in the developing world?
As our mission states, we believe that God calls us to this work of equity. We believe that providing seed grants to organizations to implement an income generating project offers a means of establishing self sufficiency to very poor people. We strive to help newer, smaller organization whose budgets may not allow them to receive grants from other sources.
Why do we call our grant recipients "Project Partners"?
Burdens of materialism and poverty affect all peoples, in the developing and developed world. The projects RSWR supports in the developing world are awareness building as they assist participants in building their level of awareness of the impacts of this burden and in providing alternatives for change. Likewise, RSWR strives to provide awareness building and alternatives for lifestyle changes for Quakers in the United States as we seek God's leading in our lives. RSWR believes that we have much to learn from one another as we work together in partnership.
Who may apply?
RSWR supports new, small grassroots organizations who are working to empower women through income-generating projects. NGOs must be less than 20 years old and have annual budgets of less than $16,500.
Where does RSWR provide grants?
Because of staff and fiscal limitations, RSWR focuses its funding in south India (Tamil Nadu and the districts of Chittoor, Cuddapah, Anantapur, and Nellore in Andhra Pradesh), Sierra Leone, and Kenya.
What size grants does RSWR provide?
Up to $US 5,500 per year, for a maximum of five years. Projects are funded one year at a time. Multiple year funding is only considered for past partners who have successfully completed at least one project and who have submitted a project completion report.
How do we apply for RSWR grants?
You must write up a proposal describing your project. Be sure to follow the guidelines below so that your proposal fits RSWR criteria. RSWR has two funding cycles. There is a deadline for each cycle, June 30 and December 31. We strongly recommend that proposals be received by us at least a month in advance of these deadlines. If we receive a proposal after the deadline, we cannot consider the proposal until the next funding cycle. Make your proposal as short as possible but respond to all the items on the enclosed check-list. In addition to your proposal, send your detailed project budget and your organization's last annual financial report. Please note that we require the most recent annual financial report for your entire organization, not just one section or one project.
What may project grants be used for?
Revolving loan for seed money, start-up supplies and equipment essential for the project, training, salary for persons needed to oversee the project, travel expenses, administrative expenses such as the cost of preparing and mailing reports to RSWR.
What does RSWR look for in a project?
A) A clearly described proposal for an income generating activity which will improve the quality of life for project participants. An income generating activity proposal must include the following:
1) Number of participants. An optimal project will serve between 20 and 75 women
2) Anticipated income and expenses of the business or businesses the women will undertake. It is expected that the women will be able to net at least a dollar a day from their businesses.
3) Loan repayment plan for the repayment of the seed money for each participant (including interest charged and monthly repayment amount). RSWR will not accept projects that charge more than 2% per month in interest.
4) An explanation of how the work can become self-supporting or can find local sources of support after RSWR funding ends.
5) An understanding that the project is compatible with the three principles which guide RSWR:
A) Local Self-Reliance – Businesses should be locally-based. Production should be geared toward local consumption and should serve the local community.
B) Sustainability – Economies should be sustainable in a number of ways including environmental, fiscal, social, political, and cultural.
C) Mutual Support and Accountability -Beneficiaries must be part of a group which offers support and accountability to its members.
6) A brief description of the experience and background of the NGO's director or project coordinator.
7) The project must be primarily for women and the beneficiaries themselves must be involved in designing the project, choosing the businesses, and setting the repayment terms and interest rate.
8) Budget categories must be outlined clearly and within the following guidelines: at least 60% for seed money, no more than 20% for staff, no more than 15% for training, no more than 5% for travel, no more than 15% for administration.
What may project grants be used for?
Revolving loan for seed money, start-up supplies and equipment essential for the project, training, salary for persons needed to oversee the project, travel expenses, administrative expenses such as the cost of preparing and mailing reports to RSWR.
What are our chances of getting a grant?
Unfortunately, we receive more proposals than we have money to support. We receive 200-300 proposals per year. Of these, about 20% are funded each year.
Where should we send our proposal?

"This had been my Mom's recipe. I've been making these for decades because they taste good; however since they are dairy free ( due to World War II rationing), that should make them healthful as well. I always make these during peach season, however, there's no need to wait until then, frozen or canned peaches work well too. A cooking note: If you're seriously watching cholesterol levels, you can make these with just one egg, and they taste just as good, however the muffins will tend to be a tad crumbly."

Dell gives birth to octuplet Inspiron colours
All the colours of the rainbow?
Dell has brought a splash of colour to the desktop with its launch of eight brightly hued Inspiron PCs.
Dell's Inspiron range: 'Red and orange and pink and green...'
Pretty much every colour of the rainbow is available, including "Piano Black", "Pure White", "True Blue", "Formula Red", "Tangerine Orange", "Spring Green", "Plum Purple" and "Promise Pink". "Gun Metal Grey" would have been a cool option, though.
The Inspiron PCs will initially be available in China, but online reports have claimed that Dell will roll the colourful range out worldwide later this year.
Available with a choice of Intel Celeron, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, AMD Sempron, Athlon X2 or Phenom X4 processor, the machines can also be fitted with up to 8GB of memory.
Users can choose between various Intel and AMD processors
You'll be able to choose between a "slim tower" or "mini tower" design, which will restrict you to either 750GB or 1TB of storage space, respectively. Mini-tower buyers will also have the option of adding in a Blu-ray drive.
Each machine will have a 19-in-1 media card reader, six USB ports – two of which are front mounted - and the option to slot in an HMDI port.
UK prices haven't been announced yet. ®

FBI, LAPD and Drug Enforcement Administration officials raided the warehouse located along the 16700 block of Schoenborn Street shortly after 11 a.m.
The raid was part of a wider investigation into illicit marijuana cultivation operations and associated crimes within Los Angeles County.
There were so many bags full of marijuana at the North Hills location that federal agents had to fill up several tractor-trailers to haul off the pot.
Early Wednesday morning the FBI, Los Angeles Police and the DEA raided what officials call a pot-growing warehouse in an industrial park on the 16700 block of Schoenborn St. in North Hills.
People who work near the warehouse say they knew drugs were inside for a while because they could smell it. They just had no idea there was so much of it.
"I saw like 20, 30 bags come out," said Reseda resident Daryhon Robinson. "They just kept coming out, and the smell, it just reeks. You can smell it from inside my building right there."
"We smelled it for a while now, for a few months," said Northridge resident John Ibarra. "They've had like four trucks coming in and out of this already."
Wednesday morning agents also raided what appeared to be a light-industrial building on the 8500 block of Canoga Ave. in Canoga Park. At that location agents bagged a huge amount of pot.
In all they targeted six locations throughout Los Angeles County. It was unclear if any arrests had been made during the raids.
While state and city laws recognize the legal use of marijuana as medicine, federal law bars its use for any purpose.
Outside of saying what agencies were involved in the massive pot bust, federal authorities did not issue further comment. They did not divulge the amount of marijuana seized.


text: Here are three areas professional services firms can examine to rein in expenses. Your client wants the contract/ad copy/financial statement pronto. And you're committed to delivering. But higher client expectations and smaller staffs make controlling costs and improving efficiency daunting tasks.Take control of hidden costs by checking three places: inefficient labor, unnecessary expediting and unrecovered areas.Shipping costs remain a cost-cutting opportunity that has yet to be fully realized by many professional services firms. Perhaps your firm has negotiated rates, but that's only a small portion of the total shipping cost. There's an even greater opportunity for savings in less obvious areas. Know where to lookTake control of hidden costs by checking three places: inefficient labor, unnecessary expediting and unrecovered areas.In many firms, shipping is a decentralized, manual process. A staffer looks up the client's address and client/matter reference numbers and then types the information into a shipping air bill, retaining a copy for client billing records. Later, the accounting department rekeys the same information into a database for reconciling and invoicing to the client. When there is a question about the delivery status of a package, more time is spent researching and manually tracking the package. As the volume of packages increases, the time spent in this manual shipping process adds up."Manually tracking and billing packages wastes valuable time that should be spent on delivering better quality service to your clients," says Alex Ortolano, UPS marketing director for the professional services segment. "You need to understand what 'pronto' really means to your client."Unnecessary expediting costs your firm money. Here's why. UPS offers three distinct overnight services with delivery by 8 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Within this seven-hour window, the cost differential ranges from 20 to 50 percent. Your savvy clients may question the need for an 8 a.m. delivery and its higher costs and refuse to pay your firm unless you can justify it. Often, your firm simply absorbs the costs because no justification existed or one was not recorded. To counter this, put in guidelines for when to use which service level.The third factor driving up professional services shipping is unrecovered costs. Firms pass through costs to clients, but sometimes shipping costs are not properly allocated. Sometimes, the costs of personal staff shipments are overlooked. At a typical law firm, for instance, personal shipments are estimated to account for 10 to 15 percent of total shipments. Without a separate billing procedure for personal shipments, there is little chance to recover these expenses.Decentralize shipping without losing controlThese hidden shipping costs can be recovered by automating and decentralizing the shipping process at your firm. Replace the age-old, error-prone processes of manually creating shipping labels, tracking packages and billing shipments with an integrated workflow.Focus on choosing the right shipping mode to meet your client's needs in the most economical way. Request automatic e-mail notifications from UPS to let your client know when a shipment has been initiated, when it's scheduled to be delivered and whether delays happen along the way.Innovative, web-based shipping solutions like UPS CampusShip® can help reduce mistakes, improve accountability, and lead to more informed business decisions. This system saves labor time, lowers costs and reduces unallocated client invoices. And with UPS CampusShip, the administrator can set parameters so controls on spending can be established.Using CampusShip, you can link every shipment to a client/matter code so the shipment is properly allocated and billed. Employees can use the systems to conveniently ship at the office using their personal credit cards. Staff and clients can easily track shipments. Once you've automated and decentralized the shipping process, look at how to reallocate staff to value-added work instead of monitoring shipments and reconciling shipping data.Learn more about these solutions, including how Paul Hastings, a leading international law firm, stopped shipping profits from going out the door.

When we use the term "thinking skills," we usually refer to an array of mental processes involving remembering information and ideas, processing that information, and then using it to solve problems. We sometimes forget that thinking is part of the process of gaining information through observing, listening, and reading. We use these abilities in the gathering of information. The skills of gathering information are of particular concern to us as teachers. In fact, the recent evidence that many children and adults learn more easily through one sense than through others has caused us to revise and extend our approaches to include more multisensory learning materials. Research and experience also inform us that learning to listen and to observe purposefully are trainable skills that can be acquired and improved through directed, structured practice over time.
We need to look at two different ways of learning. The first, we usually call rote learning. Rote learning means that information is memorized with little or no understanding of its meaning. For example, you may have learned a nonsense poem or song at some point in your life or learned to spell and pronounce words and had no idea of their meaning. Rote learning does not provide us with useful information, because if we have no idea of the meaning of what we have learned, we cannot conceive how to put it to use.
The second and more important way of learning begins with our understanding what we learn. The more "sense" we can make of something, the more it fits into patterns and stories in our minds, the more likely we are to remember it. Constructivism is the theory which explains that people come to understand new ideas and information by relating it to previous experiences. From a constructivist point of view, the way that new information is presented may be as important or even more important as the information itself, because it will determine how we make sense of the information or give it meaning. The quest to develop children as problem solvers in the social studies can be traced at least to the beginning of the twentieth century when a few innovative schools began to look at a life-centered problems approach as central to the curriculum. Beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, the notion of learning to learn became crucial to every social studies program as an approach called the inquiry method was widely advocated. The inquiry classroom differed from traditional classrooms. The student was supposed to learn to ask questions, not just answer them. The teacher's role became less that of information provider and more that of coach and guide.
The term "thinking skills" refers to all of the mental processes that individuals use to obtain, make sense of, and retain information, as well as how they process and use that information as a basis for solving problems. The process of taking in the information likewise involves thinking skills, especially those related to observing, listening, and reading. Obtaining information and ideas is a sensory process and all of the senses are used in information gathering. Because there is substantial evidence that for many children and adults learning is easier through one sense than the others, teachers need to utilize multisensory learning materials wherever possible. Even so, learning to listen and observe purposefully are trainable skills acquired through directed, disciplined practice. Therefore, teachers need to help children acquire these important skills in a systematic and developmental way.
A term used to describe relating new ideas to experiences is schema. Schemata (the plural) are the various ways that we group ideas and knowledge in our minds. Our best chance at understanding new concepts is to tie features of those concepts to one or more of these schemata. To do this, we look for similarities, make assumptions, create analogies, and generally relate information to ourselves.
Another factor in comprehension is metacognition, an individual's awareness of his or her own thinking processes and of the thinking processes of the people with whom he or she is communicating. The term has come to be used to describe a person's awareness and understanding of the organizational patterns of reading material and of speakers. Research seems to support the notion that individuals who are able to form clear and accurate story maps of reading material or spoken material have a clearer overall understanding of that material. This, in turn, helps them to understand the meaning of specific parts of the communication as it relates to the organization and purposes.
To maximize student understanding teachers should provide story maps for students before they listen to, read, or view material. In effect, this means that teachers need to provide both sensitive and clear overviews of oral presentations, audiovisual programs, and reading material before students are exposed to it. Then, too, pointed reflective review of material will also help students develop their metacognitive skills. This may, in part, be why the body of research and experience in teaching has already demonstrated that such reviews increase learning and retention in a clearly measurable way. Such reviews generally involve teacher questioning, so that students become intellectually involved and, therefore, active in forming clearer cognitive maps of material covered.
Generally, teachers can help children to understand and remember information by following a few simple principles.
- Associate the new information with experiences that the children have had in the past.
- Connect each piece of new information to other pieces of information using a pattern that children can follow. (Sensory or visualizable patterns are best.)
- Repeat the information and the patterns often.
- Provide a shared purpose or use for the learning.
- Give opportunities for practice with feedback.

Offers Award-Winning ImmiX™ Multi-Tool With Fun, Personalized, Pop-Up Cards
CHICAGO, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 18, 2007 -- LoggerHead Tools has simplified spring
gift-giving -- the company is packaging its award-winning ImmiX™
multi-tool with personalized pop-up cards specifically for Mother's Day,
Father's Day, weddings and graduations. The ImmiX™ arrives ready to
give in a
color-coordinated pillow box.
A One-of-a-Kind Gift that Lasts a Lifetime
The ImmiX™ replaces a chest of tools in a compact, 6-inch, 8-ounce
package. It's like having 14 full-sized wrenches, 10 screwdrivers and 2
knives, without the bulk. Tucked in its black nylon carrying case, the
ImmiX™ can be stowed in a pocket, drawer or glove compartment. The
ImmiX™ is quality-made in the United States and guaranteed for life.
Mom's Domestic Survival Tool
If the junk drawer is becoming a tool drawer, Mom may appreciate an
ImmiX™. Mom can use the ImmiX™ for serious DIY projects or for
routine household tasks. It's handy in the kitchen for opening boxes and
clam-shell packaging, for replacing batteries in children's toys, and for
turning nuts and bolts. The Mother's Day ImmiX™ arrives in a silver
pillow box, and its package opens to reveal a personalized, pop-up card of
a dozen pink roses.
Dads and Gadgets: A Winning Combo
With Dad, you can't go wrong with a cool gadget. The ImmiX™ more than
qualifies, having just won the prestigious 2007 iF product design award
from the International Design Forum for its cutting-edge, contemporary
design. Dad can use the ImmiX™ for assembling furniture and equipment,
home repairs, cutting twine and opening cartons. The Father's Day
ImmiX™ package features a personalized, pop-up card of ugly ties. It
comes in a black pillow box.
For the New Couple or Groomsmen
The ImmiX™ is a practical and unique wedding gift that will last -- a
fitting accompaniment for "'til death do us part." The ImmiX™ will come
in handy right away, as the newlyweds will have numerous boxes to open and
new items to assemble. The ImmiX™ is also a distinctive gift for
honoring the groomsmen or the father of the bride or groom. The wedding
ImmiX™ package features two card choices. The newlywed version features
an image of a wedding cake; the groomsman version features the LoggerHead
Tools turtle popping out of the cake with an ImmiX™. Both packages
arrive in a silver pillow box.
For Graduates: A Gift that Travels
Whether heading off to college or starting a first job, any graduate could
use a portable, compact set of high-quality tools. A table knife only goes
so far -- and sooner or later real tools become a necessity. The ImmiX™
is a durable and useful gift that will travel with the graduate to college,
to the first apartment, first house and beyond. The graduate ImmiX™
package features a personalized pop-up card of a mortar board with a real
tassel, and comes in a black pillow box.
How the ImmiX™ Works
At the core of the ImmiX™ multi-tool is the patented 6-inch Bionic
Wrench™ head, which automatically adjusts to fit 14 sizes of metric and
standard fasteners. It entirely surrounds nuts and bolts, gripping the
flat sides, so it doesn't round or strip corners like traditional wrenches.
The ImmiX™ 10X model also stores 10 of the most commonly used
screwdriver bits in its handles; and has two stainless-steel knife blades
-- one smooth and one serrated.
The screwdriver heads fit into a magnetic bit driver at the end of the
body. When the handles are closed, they form a full-function screwdriver
with a pistol grip. The ImmiX™ has a nickel finish and comes with a
durable, black synthetic carrying case with a leather belt loop.
Gripping Experience Becomes Gifting Experience
"Now 'a gripping experience' is 'a gifting experience,'" said LoggerHead
Tools President Dan Brown. He added, "While most tools lack the excitement
necessary in a gift item, the ImmiX™ has a compelling, universal design
that appeals to men and women of all ages. We created this personalized
gift packaging to be as engaging and fun as the ImmiX™."
Design Awards
Besides the iF product design award, the ImmiX has won the 2006 Good Design
award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design for its
innovative product concept. The Bionic Wrench™ component of the
ImmiX™ has won numerous international design awards, including the 2006
Red Dot: Best of the Best distinction for pioneering design in its category
and the 2005 iF Gold award from the International Design Forum. The Bionic
Wrench™ also was nominated by the German government for the prestigious
German Design award and received the 2005 Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice
Price and Availability
Gift ImmiX™ packages can be ordered for $74.95 directly through
LoggerHead Tools (www.loggerheadtools.com and 1-888-LOGGERHEAD).
