The Saugeen Shores Refugee Fund had a successful weekend fundraising at Your Independent Grocer in Port Elgin. We raised $1100 over two days, thanks to diligent volunteers who ran the table, handed out info cards, and explained to many people what we're doing.
A presentation at Tolmie Memorial Presbyterian Church also resulted in $500 of donations, which is a wonderful addition to the fund.
We're currently just over 1/4 of the way there, which is fabulous… but let's not lose the momentum! We're on a roll here, and need to keep working toward the 20K goal.
THIS WEEKEND (October 3-4) we will be fundraising at Port Elgin's famous Pumpkinfest, at a table set up in front of the Chamber of Commerce, so please stop by to see us there. We're still looking for someone to help cover the Saturday afternoon shift, 1-3 pm, so let us know if you can help.
OUR NEXT MEETING is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13 at 8 p.m. at the Resource Room of the United Church in Port Elgin. Hope to see you there!

As any student of the ideas of Nassim Nicolas Taleb would know, the idea that we can accurately predict the future is laughable. Randomness is built in to the structure of the Universe, and certainly into the structure of society. This is not to say that we have no data about how some effects may come from specific causes. However, any prediction must be tenuous and solely made in broadest outline- the more detailed a forecast, the more inaccurate it tends to be. In addition, most systems, even on a planetary scale, are open- so that, for example an ill-timed asteroid could render all forecasts at any but the most macro scale completely irrelevant.
Nevertheless, futurology can be at least interesting- if not truly informative- provided that you accept that, in Peter Snow's words; "it's just a bit of fun". The truth is, most assuredly, not "out there".
So, accepting all of the limitations that I describe, and at some risk of being drummed out of the Taleb fan club, let us think not so much about how the future might turn out, but what the implications might be, based on current events and trends. Although I shall be expressing myself in my usual opinionated way, in this new series of "crystal ball blogs" the reader should not take anything as being a particular definite statement, but something rather more tentative- a set of fears or hopes depending on the circumstances.
These necessary disclaimers having been made, I can now express a series of ideas that are giving me some cause for disquiet. There seem to be a series of global macro patterns that have the potential to change the reality and the perceptions of global power.

Yogita Limaye, CNN-IBN
Mumbai: A mother's tears, a son's shaved head are telltale signs that death has struck the household in Vidarbha's Wardha district.
Kamlabai Bhoyar's 28-year-old son Umesh committed suicide on November 17. He was worried about the Rs 1.5 lakh loan he'd taken. It's a double tragedy for Kamlabai, whose older son Vishwas Bhoyar also committed suicide 2 years ago.
Her 5-year-old grandson Sumit is all she has left. But even at the age of 65, her resolve to educate him is strong.
Kamla Bhoyar, Umesh's Mother, says, "No farming now. Even if I have to wash vessels, I will educate him. I don't want him to become a farmer."
Kamlabai may be on her own now but she's certainly not alone in her plight. In the Raghatate household, a family is trying to move on from the loss of the home's patriarch Jeevan Raghatate. His 21-year-old son Mayur doesn't know how to start repaying the 6 lakh rupee loan his father had taken.
There is a sense of hopelessness in every one of these little homes in Vidarbha, where every year the farmer wonders what price he'll get for his cotton. This year the farmer has seen massive support from the opposition with elections just around the corner.
The state government is yet to announce a bonus even as cotton farmers in Vidarbha continue to commit suicide.
Experts have slammed the government for inconsistent policies on cotton prices.
Chandrakant Wankhade, Senior Journalist & Farmer Activist, says, "When the price is high in the open market, they don't allow them to make profit. And when there is slowdown, they don't even protect the farmers."
The cotton crisis has pushed 123 farmers to suicide in 2011, says the state government, while activists say the number is 672. The statistics belie the human stories of Vidarbha where the future continues to be the dark.

Solar-Powered Roads Are Planned In Several CountriesRate this title
France, United States, Holland experimenting with new renewable energy source
Countless reasons make France one of the world's most frequented tourist destinations, from artwork to cuisine and mountains to history.
But France will soon be unique for another reason. It will be at the forefront of environmental experimentation — via a plan to install solar panels on 1,000 kilometers (about 621 miles) of roads.
A lot has to fall into place for the technological wizardry to happen. But the first step is economics, and that's a good place to start since the price of photovoltaic cells (specialized semiconductor diodes), the principle requirement to make solar panels, has drastically fallen recently.
Solar-Powered Road Cells Thin, Strong
If the French National Solar Institute can achieve its goal in conjunction with the French Government, the solar panels can be adhered to a currently used road surface.
The innovative idea comes from the road-building company Colas. It makes panels called Wattway.
According to the company, the panels are only about 1/4-inch thick but are extraordinarily sturdy, rainproof and powerful. If Colas is accurate, the panels can last as long as 10 years when installed on a road with steady traffic. If the panels are used in a parking lot, where traffic can be heavy but not daily, the panels can last as long as 20 years.
Colas believes about 13 feet of solar-powered roads provide sufficient energy to run an "average" house in France.
A date has not been set for the French solar road project to begin, but Colas is in its final test stages. Speculation has installation of the panels beginning within a few months.
Solar-powered roads are not restricted to France.
Companies in England, South Africa, Holland and the United States are also in the mix. The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded a company $750,000 to conduct solar road tests. And a parkway in the Netherlands had solar panels installed last year as a preamble to the same company, SolaRoad, using the same approach on vehicular roads.
The overall concept, of course, is renewable power from road used for energy in myriad other commercial and community ways.

Wesleyan 10, Springfield
Wesleyan 10, Springfield 7May 14, 2005
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Wesleyan University junior midfielder Glenn Adams (Norwalk, Conn.) totaled two goals, including the eventual game winner, and three assists as the No. 12 Cardinals made up a 7-2 deficit with eight unanswered goals to stun the No. 9 Pride, 10-7, in the second round of the NCAA Division III Mens Lacrosse Tournament this evening on Benedum Field.
Wesleyan (13-5) advances to play at Middlebury College on Wednesday (May 18) in the tournament quarterfinals. It will be a rematch of the NESCAC Tournament Championship game won by Middlebury, 9-5, last Sunday (May 8). The loss snaps a 12-game win-streak for Springfield (12-5).
Pride senior midfielder Mark Maitland (Salem, Mass.) opened the scoring with a tally at 8:18, before junior Mike Walsh (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) answered with the first of Wesleyans three man-up goals in the game to make the score, 1-1, with 3:45 to play in the first quarter. The first of three goals on the night by senior attackman Shawn Cofrin (Londonderry, N.H.) at 1:16 gave the Pride a 2-1 lead after the first quarter of play.
After a man-up tally by Wesleyan junior midfielder Mike Vitulano (Fairfield, Conn.) tied the game with 9:37 on the clock, before SC seemed to take command of the game with four unanswered goals, including a pair by Cofrin, to forge ahead to a 6-2 halftime advantage. SC tallied two goals in only five seconds during the run as Cofrins third goal of the game at 5:43 followed junior attackman Taylor Browns (Portsmouth, R.I.) score at 5:48.
Senior midfielder Derek Pedricks (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) second goal of the game gave the Pride a 7-2 run with 13:03 to play in the third quarter, but was the final goal SC would score the rest of the game. Senior attackman Chris Knacke (Lynbrook, N.Y) scored the first of his two goals at 12:35, Vitulano tallied his second goal at 11:46, and junior attackman Jordan Funt (Setauket, N.Y.) pulled the Cardinals within two with a tally at 6:03 to make the score, 7-5, after the third quarter.
Knackes second goal came at 12:54, before a tally by freshman midfielder Alex Kaufman (Lake Oswego, Ore.) tied the game with 11:54 to play in the game. Two-straight Adams goals at 4:24 and 1:46 pushed Wesleyan into the lead for good, before a tally by junior midfielder Jeff McLaren (Essex Junction, Vt.) sealed the game for the Cardinals in their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Before every election we always hear people telling us that it is everyone's patriotic duty to get out and vote. That's nonsense. It is the quality not the quantity of the vote that determines whether good or bad people are elected.
Usually when there is a light voter turnout it is those individuals who are more concerned about politics who vote. And it is these, the most concerned voters, who are more likely to have studied the issues and the candidates so that they can, and will, make wise decisions.

All Type Kamasuyra Positions
The Kamasutra ' how exactly we hear this notion frequently. Nevertheless, not every person understands the genuine meaning this written book has, because the dominating majority associates it only with sex positions and no more. Certainly, to some extend such an opinion is quite truly, because one of the chapters is dedicated to the latter topic indeed. However, the written book contains many other chapters, which narrate about various aspects and ideas related to relationship between man and woman. Nowadays, no matter what social background an individual might have, to what gender confession or identity one may belong to, or how many years he or she has, " nearly heard about the Kamasutra Anyone may question Still, the actual 'incomprehensible' reserve means within the conditions of lifestyle. Is it accurate, that the thing mentioned within the Kama Sutra and could be ideal for a few is a amount of sex positions? No genuine way. Affirmed, it contains the chapters which provide a profound belief not only of the creative art of sexual relationships, but also of a very core of the spiritual affinity of the two base principles. Moreover, it is possible to receive a straight answer on a cordial question related to a relationship between man and woman. Additionally, the book provides an opportunity to see your daily life partner within a different light and discover common ground that will assist any couple to become on cloud nine. When you possess noticed currently, the sense of the ancient text lies much deeper than anyone could have ever imagined. That's why, for everyone interested in such an amazing historical piece of art, we have decided to setup the website, where we collected and systematized the provided information linked to the reserve, making it basic and noisy. Having browse the content, you shall uncover the most significant and interesting features regarding the Kamasutra.
What does the term 'Kamasutra' means?
Based on the literal translation from Sanskrit, "Kama Sutra' means 'the Rule Book of 'Theory or Kama' of Kama' A issue shows up Therefore, what will the Kama mean to us and what's the goal of it? Kama is really a sensual section of lifestyle that includes psychological and physical satisfaction. The true point is that Indian tradition emphasizes four main virtues, e.g. four main existence goals which an average Indian should gain. These virtues are of equivalent importance and are essential for every human being. Thus, 'Kama' that is responsible for a sensual enjoyment, is the first step in one's actual way to understanding of his or her divine origins. That's why the written book is called Chandigarh Call Girls 'The Kamasutra' or 'The Kama Sutra'. In the light of the above, the reason of its creation turns into quite apparent to us today. This written reserve ' is really a revision of the greatest prior spiritual and philosophical text messages, so to state helpful information, which includes the texts focused on the accomplishment of 'Kama' ' among the four most significant lifestyle goals a individual can reach, the conception from the sensual pleasure particularly, e.g. appreciate, sexual satisfaction, interest and desire. Certainly, this written reserve has nothing in keeping with intimate gymnastics. The Kamasutra represents a set of reliable and verified ancient Indian traditions and knowledge made up many hundreds of years ago. The Kamasutra is a medical treatise about experience of true love, targeted to settle and harmonize a multi-level relationship a woman and a man might have, starting from every day time's existence to personal and inwardness of their match, providing the reaching of Kama (sensual satisfaction). Introducing a serious and thorough investigation, the text provides a deep reader not only with ability to know a true meaning of love between man and woman, but also opens the mind to a better understanding of human nature along with his or her partner one.
What does the Kamasutra teach us really
The majority, being surprised, admits their initial incomprehension of the purpose of this written book, considering it only as a set of items that guides how to get a physical closeness between man and woman in a more diverse way. Nevertheless, the Kamasutra completely excludes and does not welcome such an activity without any emotional consonance, so to say, this 'tiny thread' ' passion, love and sensuality. If there is no love discovered, you shall under no circumstances gain any fulfillment that a intimate relationship may produce, neither do you want to make the chakras to become filled with languor and warmness complete, nor do you want to ever relieve the body of desire of like. The thing you obtain is a waste materials of your energy '. According to the written book, a guy ought never to just welter in sexual joy with female, but he's to aid and extol her also, bearing the duty for her feelings. It isn't that he's the man accidentally, a true male, whose will is a rule, but staying within the hands of his girl, he must give his self-confidence to her. To perform each one of these, it's easier to create all of the required conditions that won't allow her to get any desire to get someone else, which will be more appealing and cozy. Based on the Kamasutra, the girl's mission would be to offer her guy with satisfaction. She, like a Garden of Eden, must be able to trap him and embrace with warmness, care, to be not only attractive in the meaning of sexual life, but be irreplaceable in all aspects of his life. Having abided all these tips, her man would remain faithful to her, giving her the sense of freedom and making more equal to him. The Kamasutra makes it that without respect clearly, love, tenderness and enamourment any of the sexual positions turns out to be just a simple repletion of somebody's wants, such as to have a breakfast time, convenience oneself or beverage drinking water. Such closeness, ultimately, will mean nothing at all, whichever it is, a guy or a female. As a bloom being planted in to the fertile surface and warmed by sunlight can delight the attention, so the intimate relationship, getting warmed and saturated with psychological charm and closeness shall enable you to get on cloud nine. With regard to it, you can find out and try all of the Kama Sutra's positions, that will bring freshness for your intimate life most likely, bearing great fruits, the primary fruit of the mutual like ' children.

Last-minute bid.
As lot 320 is called, a respectful silence falls over the auction house Bonham's marquee. There has been so much attention on the vehicle about to be auctioned, that Robert Brooks, the chairman of Bonhams and a car enthusiast, picks up the gavel himself. Even John Lennon's Ferrari, which had come under the hammer just before, cannot keep up with the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow W 196 R, the original car in which Juan Manuel Fangio triumphed in 1954.Sorry, John! As experts and punters alike are expecting a record price, the bidding is to proceed in 500,000 pound steps. It starts at 3.5 million pounds (some 4.05 million euros). Bids quickly pass the 10 million pound mark, and when a new (telephone) bidder joins the proceedings at 15 million pounds, a murmur runs through the marquee. Up until now there have been two telephone bidders in a neck-and-neck race.
At 16 million pounds there is a long pause. Auctioneer Brooks calls out "Last chance!" - and then another bidder enters the fray, at 16.5 million pounds.
Appreciation for classic cars with the star.
The thriller ends shortly after, at 17.5 million pounds: a new auction record for a car and the main topic of conversation at the Goodwood Festival of Speed anniversary, which provided the occasion for the auction. The winning bid comes from the anonymous bidder who joined in just before the climax, and who will pay out a total of 19.6 million pounds (22.7 million euros). "The auction result shows just how highly classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles are valued in collectors' circles," comments Michael Bock, Head of Mercedes-Benz Classic, with a great deal of pleasure. "We congratulate the unknown bidder on his purchase and will happy to assist him further, should he so wish." His hope is that the new owner will be sufficiently appreciative of the historical significance of this cultural artefact.
"is that the 22 million Silver Arrow?"
The increased awareness of vehicles sporting the star becomes clear at the latest the day after the record auction. As Paul Stewart, who is starting for Mercedes-Benz in the sister car to the W 196 R, displays typical British humour with his wisecracks ("If I'd had the money, I would've bid, too"), the first fans start to gather in the Formula 1 paddock for Mercedes-Benz Classic and ask: "Is that the Silver Arrow that was auctioned off yesterday?" No, it isn't. But that doesn't stop Stuart Graham, the British motor bike racing legend, from sitting in the W 196 R, of which he has 1:8 scale model at home.
Detailed manufacturer's report.
"We already have six W 196 Rs in our collection," Michael Bock had earlier told journalists. He estimates that the new owner will have to invest a high six-figure amount to restore the car with the chassis number 006/54 to roadworthiness. The Silver Arrow is essentially in the same condition as it was in 1973, when it was donated by the then Daimler-Benz AG to the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu in England, which in turn sold it to a private collector in 1980. The authenticity of the vehicle is documented in a detailed manufacturer's report, as part of which Mercedes-Benz Classic examined the vehicle and researched and documented its history in detail - which will surely have increased the amount obtained for it.
The 120-page manufacturer's report contains various documents (which cover details such as the weather that day on 1 August 1954 at the German Grand Prix held at the Nürburgring - which was "dry and cool"), inventory charts, technical data sheets, pictures and badges from the Silver Arrow's winning races, as well as press information and press reports. It also contains the "reflections on the design" by the design chief Fritz Nallinger and the deed of donation from 1973. The active racing career of the W 196 R finishes with the comment "Car raced, dispatched for conservation on 9.12.1955". In view of the success of the car with Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel, the Mercedes-Benz Brand Ambassador Hans Herrmann, erstwhile team-mate of Fangio, Moss and Kling, says the vehicle is "priceless, really".
But his former colleague relativised this statement: "The Silver Arrow is in a shocking condition."Does he believe the new owner will take better care of the car? "Actually, he could just start by storing it in the dry" replies the British icon of motor racing jokily.
"Change gear lovingly."
In contrast, the automotive gems are in the best possible hands with Mercedes-Benz Classic mechanics. The Benz "Prince Heinrich car" from the year 1910 is excellent proof of this. It is one of only two models in existence that have survived intact and true to the original. Following a two-year restoration project, it is on show and running several times at Goodwood. The Dutch collector Ewert Louwman, who owns the second remaining model which has itself just been restored, is at the wheel. What are the challenges of driving the elegant special touring car, which many experts call the first real sports car? "Try not to brake a lot and change gear lovingly. The steering is good, but you have to try to become as one with the engine and pay attention to the ignition when going uphill," recommends Louwman. The Dutchman waxes lyrical about the "dancing" valves: "It's like a keyboard."
A star on the stand: the SLS AMG Electric Drive.
Visitors to the Festival of Speed find hale and hearty contemporaries to the "Prince Heinrich car" in the Cathedral Paddock: This is where the Mercedes Grand-Prix racing car from 1908 and the Mercedes-Simplex 60 hp from 1903 are being made ready for their energy-sapping hill climb. For those who are, by contrast, more interested in the current range of models from Mercedes-Benz, they can visit the stand in the passenger car exhibition and try out the seats in the new S-Class or the AMG versions of the A-Class, CLA and CLS Shooting Brake, from which every last speck of dust is dusted off lovingly by the staff. A much-loved bonus for customers: Anyone who has the key to his or her Mercedes-Benz to hand, is allowed, as a member of the "Keyholders' Club", to use the AMG stand, which has the best view of the race track.
Enthroned in the middle of the stand, which has a lot of visitors, and impossible to miss in its shimmering blue is the SLS AMG Electric Drive, which at Goodwood can only win people over with its looks - and, of course, its figures for consumption and emissions. But it would probably be too quiet for the race track anyway...
Goodwood Festival of Sound.
Because really, the Festival of Speed should be called the Festival of Sound. There's bubbling, roaring and rattling coming from every direction. Every audible test is cheered on frenetically by the spectators; and experts differentiate knowledgeably between the hissing of the turbine engine-powered vehicles and the whipcrack as another vehicle backfires. There are presumably very few people who would like to be in the shoes of one of the four marshalls, who send the cars off to the start at one-minute intervals.
What are those additives responsible for the acrid stink coming out of the exhausts of the olld veterans of motorsport such as the Silver Arrow W 154 from 1938? Ethanol, benzene ... no matter, the main thing is, it's a wall of smoke and noise. You don't have to have petrol running through your veins to get your money's worth at Goodwood - but it certainly helps.
Lewis Hamilton & Co make an appearance.
On Saturday Charles Gordon-Lennox alias Earl of March and Kinrara – known here by all as Lord March – receives support in his hosting duties from a source that goes down as well as he does with the visitors: the sun, which henceforth shines all day and every day, finally turning the festival, held by the motorsports-mad aristocrat on his extensive grounds, into a fun festival for families with picnic baskets. At the same time, the classic cars start to experience serious competition in the battle for the spectators' attention and enthusiasm: from current Formula 1 cars. The number of celebs starts to grow in the prestart area: Nick Heidfeld (who remains undefeated as the record holder for the Goodwood track, with 41.6 seconds), Sergio Perez – and Lewis Hamilton, of course, who will be at the start in his own Silver Arrow. A collector himself, the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver has five classic cars in his garage.
But he thinks the price paid the day before for Fangio's Silver Arrow, the pre-predecessor to his own "company car", is "mad". "It's an unbelievable car, but that's also a huge sum of money," is the Brit's comment.
A favourite motif for photos: the first ever motor car.
Despite the enthusiasm for Formula 1: the very first motor car, Carl Benz's Patent Motorwagen from the year 1886, of which a replica is on show in the Mercedes-Benz paddock, holds an enduring fascination for people. Even little girls want to have a souvenir photo taken of them sitting in the car - and their mothers listen spellbound to the story of the first long-distance journey undertaken in the car by Bertha Benz with her sons in 1888. And while this is going on, the cars of the future - hybrids, electric cars and hydrogen cell-fuelled cars - take the starting gun in the "Michelin Supercar Run". Nowhere are the past, present and future so close to each other as at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. See you in 2014!

When I was a child, our family dog had a litter of ten puppies. I fell in love with one of them. I picked her out of the bunch and just poured all my Love into her. I was under the impression that I would be allowed to keep her. This was just a lie to make it easier to deal with me. My parents called the dog pound soon enough to unceremoniously take all the pups and their mother away except Goober Marie.
I named her Goober because she looked like a little peanut and Marie so people would know she was a girl. I assumed I was going to get to keep Goober Marie. This would finally be evidence that I mattered. But alas, the family came that was to adopt Goober Marie. It had all been worked out without my knowing. I was devastated. The couple who adopted her sent a picture when she was older. She was so goofy looking that the image stayed with me.
When I returned from a horrific ordeal five years back, I knew I needed a dog in my life to Love and to heal. My guides told me that it was a very specific dog. I tried all these rescue sites and nothing panned out. Then I asked my friend if she knew of anyone who was looking to find a home for a dog. She in fact, had a dog that wasn't working out with her family. I could adopt it.
When I saw her, I thought she had such a goofy face. It registered as familiar. When I let her lay on the bed, she laid in this pose that I had seen before. She was in the exact position and looked exactly the same as Goober Marie had in the photo I had seen of her. That is why I had to see that when I was a child, so I could better recognize my Goober Marie when she came back to me years later. Her name now is Simha and she is loved and appreciated beyond all measures. Our love could not be denied. We were together again!

Five Ways to Get In with the Photo Community
[Today's guide comes from rad photographer and Photojojo buddy, Helena Price!]
If you're a photographer or aspiring photographer-to-be, building community with other photogs is an essential part of getting your work noticed and building your name in the photo world.
Before being a full-time freelance photographer, I built communities for companies and products for a living, and I've been an active part of communities ranging from tech to food to photography.
I've distilled down everything I've learned over the years into the five fundamental ways to start building and connecting with a photo community.
What is the "photo community," you ask? It's however you define it. It's a big social web of photographers, both online and offline, who know each other, inspire each other, and help each other make the best work they possibly can.
You should most definitely be a part of it, and here's how.
How to Connect with the Photo Community
p.s. Wanna boost your creativity? Our pals at Maine Media are offering some way cool photography and filmmaking workshops designed for just that.
1) Do some research.
There are many kinds of photo communities out there, big and small. It's up to you to decide what part of the photo community you'd like to surround yourself with and why. Is it pro photogs with big fancy cameras? Is it Instagrammers? Is it people in your own town? People who love photographing food, or skateboarding, or music? Go after whatever interests you the most, and see where it takes you.
2) Find your inspiration.
The easiest way to do this is on the interwebs. Follow folks who create work that inspires you. How to find them, you ask? There are many ways, ranging from googling "awesome food photographers," to browsing Tumblr's photographer spotlight or Instagram's suggested user list. Subscribe to their feeds, watch the way they create and post their work, and take good notes.
3) Go make some stuff.
For every moment you spend networking, you need to spend double the moments making things. Your photo inspirations are who they are because of the work they've created, so go take that inspiration and make some work of your own. By constantly improving and sharing your craft, you're constantly increasing the likelihood that other people will find and like your work too.
4) Support others.
Photo karma is real. In all communities, what you put in will often dictate what you receive down the line. Go like people's work. Leave genuine, attentive, supportive comments. Don't post asking for likes or follows, because that's not what this is all about (and if you haven't realized by now, people really hate that). Help people spread the word about their projects and exhibitions. If you're a supportive member of the community and making great work of your own, people will notice you and you'll soon find support coming back your way.
5) Reach out and say hi.
The easiest way to connect with people in the photo community is to simply send them a note. Find three (or more!) people whose work you love, send them an email/message/comment, and tell them you dig their work. But not in a "I love you FOLLOW ME CHECK OUT MY GALLERY" kind of way. In a genuine, I'm-not-asking-anything-in-return kind of way. You will not only make the recipient's day, but that person will likely remember your name for a long time to come.

text: Hi friends, I am modifying Live.Com codes to support m-to-1 streaming (distributed streaming, multiple streamers try to stream different data to the receiver, and the receiver will group data locally). Currently, I am partially done with MP3 ADU streamer and receiver. My boss asked me to give a real-time playback demo to him: a Winamp-like player is needed to play back the under-receiving MP3 file. I've browsed through the players in the list offered by Live.Com website, but all of them are for 1-to-1 streaming whose input pseudo-address is a single source. Anyone can give any suggestion on such a player that it can read local file from time to time (which grows as streaming progress), and play back the Mp3? Thank you all! And especially thanks to Ross, your LiveMedia Library is so helpful to me :-))) Ma Lin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

how can we get the word out?
I know that you have been blogging your heart out, but somehow, people are not hearing it.
Here is Dave Johnson pushing this. Somehow we need to get the word out.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
In "All Together Now: There Is No Deficit/Debt Problem," I warned against the message calling for deficit reduction that the President will probably deliver in his State of the Union Address next month. I view the coming narrative as very likely to be composed of a number of fairy tales. I've already examined the fairy tale that the Government of the United States can involuntarily run out of money, or is in the process of involuntarily running out of money. This post examines the second fairy tale in the narrative, namely the idea that the Government can only raise money to spend by either taxing or borrowing.
How many times have we heard that the Government can only get US Dollars to spend by either taxing or borrowing. We must hear this from Cable News outlets and in the Washington Post and the New York Times at least a number of times every single day. Then we also hear it from hundreds of blogs across the country and from such Peter G. Peterson outlets as The Fiscal Times, and AmericaSpeaks. Based on these outlets one can't help wondering whether some transformation has taken place since the Founding of the Republic providing for US currency created by the private sector, and that it is private-origin currency that the Government must have in order to spend for its programs. Of course, this isn't true. The Constitution authorizes the Government alone to create United States Dollars. The Government has since delegated the task of printing money to the Federal Reserve Bank which prints the Federal Reserve Notes now in circulation, but, nevertheless the authority for such issuance comes from the Government and it still retains the authority to print Treasury Notes and to create money in other ways.
If you think about it further, the Government's creation of US Dollars is logically prior to either taxing or borrowing, since to either borrow US Dollars or get dollars through taxation, those dollars have to have been created by the Government at some time in the past. So, the notion that the Government can get money by either taxing or borrowing, and only in these ways, is a pretty obvious untruth, told by people who either don't understand where money comes from, or who want other people to believe that money for spending can only come from these two sources.
The truth is that the Federal Government doesn't need to, and also doesn't, raise its spending money from taxing and borrowing. The Federal Government doesn't even "fund" its expenditures as the users of its currency have to "fund" theirs. Most often these days, the Government spends money by marking up accounts in the private sector. The Government also spends by marking up State Government accounts, and by issuing checks to some people, and even by printing a relatively small amount of currency, and coining an even smaller amount of money. But, again, the Government, mostly uses its spending authority to mark up accounts, and it doesn't use the money it collects in taxes, or the money it has raised from borrowing, in its spending process.
There's only one main reason why the Government borrows money when it wants to deficit spend, and that's because Congress requires that it do that, not because the Government either needs or uses the money borrowed in order to spend. The rule that it must issue debt in these circumstances is a hangover from gold standard days.
Congresspeople probably believe that issuing debt when the Government deficit spends prevents or moderates inflation because borrowing removes cash from the economy that Government spending injects into it. It's true that it removes cash from the economy, but whether or not debt is issued to match Government spending, that spending still adds net financial assets to the private sector economy, and the fact that the net addition is a bond and not cash is no less, and may be more inflationary because bonds can be leveraged to a greater degree than cash deposits, and also command interest income. Government deficit spending still adds net financial assets (savings) to the private economy dollar for dollar, and that spending has nothing operationally to do with whether or not money is borrowed to correspond with the spending.
The requirement mandating such a correspondence has nothing to with the function of spending. Though it has everything to do with causing interest to be paid to foreign Governments and wealthy individuals -- "welfare" that the US need not pay them if it doesn't continue to practice debt issuance.
Government doesn't use money raised through taxation to spend, either. In fact, taxing actually destroys both private sector money and Government money. This becomes quite clear when you know what the Government does when it receives payment of taxes in cash. After the tax payer leaves the tax office, the cash paid is shredded by the government official.
So, if the Government doesn't spend the taxes it collects, but destroys the money, then why must it tax. In my view taxes have three functions. First, if the Government did not tax and also require citizens to pay their taxes with Government currency, then that currency would have no value. So Government taxes to establish and validate the value of its fiat money.
Second, Government also may tax to drain aggregate demand from the economy. When the economy is overheated, the best way to avoid inflation is to increase taxes.
And third, Government also needs to tax to re-distribute wealth in a democratic society. Mal-distribution of wealth is a great danger to democracy, as we are seeing in the United States today. One of the chief means of restoring a greater measure of economic inequality to the United States would be a reformed and much more progressive taxation system.
Lastly, not only is it true that the Federal Government raises money through means other than taxing or borrowing all the time, because it creates that money in the act of spending. It's also true that the money it spends is not the money it collects through taxing or borrowing. So, the idea that we must raise money by taxing or borrowing in order to fund our spending is a fairy tale.
On the other hand there is a kernel of truth to the tale, in the sense that Congress mandates that deficit spending cannot occur unless the Government issues debt. But this doesn't mean that the Government has the capability to spend only by raising money through taxing or borrowing. Instead, it means that Congress, itself has mandated a need for borrowing to accompany deficit spending. Therefore in place of the fairy tale, the Administration will tell, we see the real truth – namely that it is the fault of Congress that the Executive must borrow and incur new debt in order to deficit spend, and, consequently, also that it is the fault of Congress that we have a national debt today at all.

I know that you have been blogging your heart out, but somehow, people are not hearing it.
Here is Dave Johnson pushing this. Somehow we need to get the word out.
I've been posting at CAF and Kos too. Trying different things, but without a coordinated effort I don't know how we can get the Word out. The MMT people certainly have the right approach, but I've begun to wonder about their political approach.
From an MMT point of view, the debt is not a problem because there's no solvency risk and no demand-pull inflation risk right now either. And that's right, the problem is that we won't convince people that the debt is no problem unless we can demonstrate that it's not a problem by showing that we can pay it off if we want to with hardship.
To do that we've got to get Congress to lift the debt issuance requirement and let the Government just deficit spend. So politically we should be attacking the Congress for causing the national debt.
Another way of showing this is to find a method the Government can use to spend what has been appropriated without incurring debt, while paying off the old debt. Coin seigniorage is a way to do that, so politically we should be trying to make the Administration look stupid if they don't use it.
There are other things to do also, but they have to focus on blaming Congress or the Administration for not doing things it's very easy to do to end the whole debt/deficit reduction flap. The MMT writers don't seem to be using MMT to do this. They're caught up in the economics of it, more than the politics.
posted at places like zerohedge. Going to suggest it to them now.
At worst, some heads will explode over there.. as they always do...) Good thing about the ZH PTB's.. they don't seem to mind that.
If you have an account there (as do I) by all means cross post.
Zero Hedge say. Will they cross-post.
I'm registered and leave comments on occasion. Would be happy to cross it... but I don't want to put myself in the position of defending/explaining various details... not sure i get it all myself yet.
i did forward the link with a nudge to post it... at ZH main tip addy.
and post it. That's OK with me.

Someone who once worked at Plainville's Nike missile base in the late 1950s left me a voicemail shortly after I wrote about exploring the remains of an old Army complex off the Metacomet Trail. He explained the "ack, track and smack" protocol.
"The 'ack' was short for acquisition radar used by the Army while patrolling for Soviet bombers flying over our airspace," the caller said in a deep, "fire-when-ready" voice. "The 'track' would line up the Nike with the incoming aircraft and 'smack' is what would happen next had we ever had to fire them."

Friday's forum, organized by the AgrIInstitute, an Indiana non-profit organization for agriculture leadership, brought together state officials, agriculture leaders, health professionals and many others to discuss what impact they see with opioids in rural Indiana.
The speaker list included a couple of familiar faces. One was Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen, who spoke about the success of the Boone County Jail's drug treatment program. A panel discussion also featured Kassie Frazier, executive director of Sylvia's Child Advocacy Center.
The first part of the day focused on the facts and harsh truths of opioids. The second half of the day focused on what is working in different communities and how the audience could take ideas home to make a difference in their own communities.
Several speakers emphasized the rural impact of opioid use. Deena Dodd of the Indiana Rural Health Association provided startling statistics illustrating that opioids touch people of all incomes and ages. However, the statistics showed white people at increasing risk of becoming intravenous drug users, rising 16 percent over the last 10 years.
"They think that users are a certain group that is using and not contributing to society. But I'm here to tell you, it is not just 'those people,'" Dodd said. "This touches every part of our society."
Anne Hazlett, an Indiana native who is now with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, listed a few reasons opioids may be so attractive to rural people: lack of healthcare resources, the prevalence of physically demanding jobs and isolation. Others said addiction is turned to out of desperation or because of an underlying mental health problem.
While no one claimed they had a singular solution to the rural drug problem, each shared what they are personally doing. From the state executive level, Indiana drug czar Jim McClelland said his main function is putting together the pieces of the puzzle. The ideal end result, he said, is a network of local solutions that prop up Hoosier families.
"If we as a society don't do enough to mitigate the impact on all of these children, I fear we are going to pay a heavy price down the road," McClelland said. "The most effective solution will focus on children, youth and their parents."
McClelland said he has three priorities at the moment: keep people alive, make resources available and attack the drug supply. Long-term keys will be attacking drug supply and demand.
State Sen. Jim Merritt, who represents portions of Hamilton and Marion counties, said he has proposed several bills to combat opioids this year: a statewide drug takeback program, more secure pill bottles and a bill requiring county coroners to track overdose deaths. Merritt hopes the legislature will take action on opioids this year.
"We have 150 people (in the legislature) who are concerned about opioids. I believe that if opioids make spots on your face, make your nose grow, or make your hair purple, we would be in crisis mode," Merritt said. "The legislature gets it. I think you will hear a lot this year. But it is up to us, in our churches and our schools, to be talking about this."
At the local level, many actions are being taken from many different perspectives. Nielsen spoke at length about what the Boone County Sheriff's Office is doing to combat the problem.
Nielsen said 64,000 died in America from an overdose in 2016, roughly the same population as Boone County.
"Every year we are killing the population of Boone County in overdose deaths," Nielsen said. "That is unbelievable to me. In 2017, they believe it will be even higher, around 72,000 — and that's scary."
Of those deaths, 18 people died from overdose in Boone County. Nielsen said the number is likely even higher, because Boone County residents who overdose are sometimes transported to Indianapolis for care. While many have died, Nielsen said 56 people have been saved from opioid overdose since BCSO started carrying the opioid antidote in 2015.
The star of his remarks was the jail treatment program, which includes many different options to help inmates with their recovery. The forum was not the first time Nielsen has spoken about the program, but it was possibly the shortest, noting he had to boil two hours of information down to a 15-minute presentation.
The jail's program has grown over the years and now includes recovery support groups, Bible studies, educational resources and even 24-hour access to mental health services.
"We have to rehabilitate those inmates mentally and physically," Nielsen said. "We have to get those inmates ready to go back into society."
While the jail treatment programs work great for their time in jail, Nielsen said there are not enough resources once inmates are released. Because of that, many end up back at the jail, 78 percent to be exact, according to 2016 statistics.
Nielsen said that high recidivism rate is unacceptable, especially when considering the national rate is only 64 percent. Nielsen said his new goal is to reduce the recidivism rate by 18 percent in the next 18 months.
"This is ridiculous, we have to have a change," Nielsen said. "Believe it or not, people in this county still think there isn't a drug problem in this community. It is up to us to take this information back to our communities."

Ecology provides an overview of ecology, behavioural ecology and conservation biology and is an ideal course for students wishing to take organismal options in their third year. The course aims to cover all the major ecosystems, to review key ecological concepts and approaches and to introduce students to topical issues and problems.
The course begins with the opportunity to attend one of two 10-day field courses; the first starting in late June and held at Juniper Hall (near Dorking in Surrey), which introduces students to key techniques vital to fieldwork that are subsequently used for project work; or the second starting in late September, held at Madingley (just outside of Cambridge), which introduces practical techniques in molecular ecology and evolution, including field work and laboratory and computational analyses in genetics and genomics.

Green Smoothie
What you put in your body should be as clear, clean and pure as you want your mind to be.
Ever since I've been trying to research the perfect recipe for a green smoothie that tastes good for me, I got disapointed many times. I couldn't stop using my blender to create a healthy drink and always squinch up my face while testing. But finally "True fruits" created their own green smoothie and I am totally addicted now. The smoothie contains matcha, ginger, kale, pear, spinach, banana and apples and is perfect for each who has short time in the mornings for a healthy choice. Try it out guys.

Shen 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.
My small guide to Shen, IMO the most effective tank ingame.
Ok, just to make this clear: I do not claim taht this is the perfect way to play Shen. This is only the way I find him the most effective.
[Q] Vorpal Blade:
The bread and butter skill for Shen. Pretty low energy cost, pretty low cooldown and a decent dmg output. In adition, it have a heal effect, so if used well, you will never run low on health. You should use this skill to last hit minions, and after you get it to level 2, you should start to harass with it.
[W] Feint:
This spell is a quite decent shield spell. It can save your life in many situations. I don't level this up early though, because i find other spells more important early game. However, i like to have a point in this spell at level 8, because if you are running away from someone, it may be just what it needs to survive from the last knife throw or ignite.
[E] Shadow dash
Here is why i love to play shen. An AOE taunt! Shadow dash makes you the perfect initiator, rescue man and even chaser IMO. Try to get a couple of point in this for the reduced energy cost. What is a bit tricky however, is that Shadow dash is a skillshot, so you have to aim carefully. A miss may often mean the difference between life and death for both you, your enemies and even your allies ( I will explain this later in this guide).
[R] Stay united
Probably the best tank ulti in the game. It shield your allies, shield yourself, and even teleport you to them. Wait it's more ... It's GLOBAL! this means you can teleport all around the map at will. Stay united can often mean the difference between loss and win, because it can turn enemy ganks into your teams' advantage.
Summoner spells:
For my summoner spells i use Heal and Ghost. Heal because it can make you last a little longer, both in lane or when you are initiating a team fight. It can also turn 1n1's into your advantage. Overall a great spell. I use ghost to fullfill my role as a suport. As Shen, you often have to make a rescue (will explain more later), and in those situations, ghost will save your life!
Talks for themself.
Ok, i have used a few different starting items, and I have found out that ruby crystal is pretty good to start off with. Yes, you will not afford any pots, but hey! Thats one more reason why Heal is a viable summoner spell! After you have farmed a bit, maybe got a kill or an assist (Shen is the master of assist) You should get the merc treads. Merc are great, because they give you a early magic res, wich is very! important early game, since most of the best early game gankers use magic DPS. In addition, it removes a great amount of time spent disabled.
So, for your next item, i really recommend Aegis of Legion. This gives you and your allies a decent allround defence early on.
The next Item is pretty situational. If you opposing team is heavy melee DPS, i reccomend Wardens Mail. It gives you a good amount of Armor, and it also gives you a slight advantage in the AS reduction. As an alternative, you can use Thormail.
If the team is heavily based on caster DPS, you should relly get yourself a Force of Nature. It makes a great MR, and the health regen is a gret + for this item.
Now, I recommend get the item you didn't get before. No team is purely based at magic or melee, so it will make you a better allrounder tank. Now, you should go get yourself a Soulfire Cape. It gives you, more health, more armor an even a passive dmg output. It's great on Shen because is ability to farm minions is not goood! You may even want to get this item early in the game, cus it gives you better farming abilities.
The last item is a bit situational. Most often, i recommend guardian angel, because of obvios reasons. Else, you could get a frosen mallet.
So, how to play Shen?
Early game:
First of all: Take a duo lane. Shen is not that great on soloing. After all, hes a tank.
You should probably get in a lane with a ranged DPS/Mage. Combo is: you taunt, they kill. This way you will compleately own your lane. Try to last hit minions with Ki strike and Vorpal blade to get money, use Vorpal blade to heal you and your mate if necassery. (Just have to mention that I have done some laning with Pantheon recently, and Shen/Panth combo is �¼ber ownage. He stun, make use his DPS spells, then you taunt and bring his life down with Ki strike, then you both can finish him of with Vorpal blade/ Spear shot)
Mid game:
Now, you have your ulti up, got a couple of items, and it�¦s time for you to show just how powerfull Shen is. In this phase of the game, your map awerness is the alfa and omega for your team. Watch out on your allies health, save them if necassery, look out for good ganks. Easy way: make one of your team mates rush an enemy player, then when your mate is low on health, bubble him, teleport, taunt, ki, Vorpal BOOM! dead. Thats why you, and your team should whorship Stay United. It WILL get you ganks, and it WILL save your mates, and it WIILL save yourself. So basically, try to help your team get ganks mid game. Make your carry strong, get assists, just be pretty much a support unit. Get your team strong, get yourself unkillable, and get ready for the late game!
Late game:
So, here is where the small things matters the most. As Shen, and probably your teams main tank, it is your job to initiate teamfights. By now, you should be very durable, and can take a serious beating. So, what you got to do is to talk to your team. I cannot say how important that is. Tell them when you attack, when you don't, when they should pull back, forth and so on. You are the tank, no-one attacks withouth you ( at least, no-one SHOULD attack without you) So, when you initiate a team fight, I like du just walk in, no dashes, yet! Walk in, out on feint to take the initial burst of dmg, then look out for any Ultis (like Katarinas, or Nunus) and shadow dash to interrupt them. By now, your team should be all over them. Just make sure you all focus their squshy DPS' first, and for christ sake, DO NOT FOCUS THE TANK! A lot of peaple tend to do that, they try to get the one with the most HP down first, pure stupidity (unless the one with the most HP is Morgana though). The other big nono is to not decide the main target. Here comes the talking part in again. I see it so much these days. People run into a team fight, panic, attack all five of the enemy champs, AT ONCE, get nuked, panic again, runs, being chased, dies. Just keep your head cold, talk to eatch other, wait for the right moment and you should be fine.
I would be very happy if you left me a comment. This is my first guide, so please give me suggestions on how to make them better :D If you have any quistions, post it, and I'll try to answer it ASAP
(Sry for my bad english, I hope you can understand the most of this guide ^^)

It took Stu Sjouwerman, the founder and chief executive of security firm KnowBe4, of Clearwater, Fla., about two minutes to launch a successful social engineering attack against me.
Social engineering, also known as phishing and spear-phishing, is what hackers do when they want to trick someone into taking a particular action or divulging critical information online. These attacks are on the rise against banks and their corporate customers, where more money is on the line than in consumer retail banking.
Sjouwerman and I had never met before. As we talked on the phone about his research, I received an email from American Banker's editor-in-chief asking me what was wrong with a story I had just published on Bitcoin. The email contained a link to the story, to which I had appended a minor correction about 20 minutes before. (Like most reporters, I dread getting emails like this from my editor, and like most reporters, I also multi-task.)
"By the way," Sjouwerman said. "Did you just get an email from your editor about a correction to a story you'd just written?
Hesitantly, I said yes.
"That was from me, and I've just social engineered you," Sjouwerman said.
Sjouwerman, who creates so-called white hacks for a living, had run a sender policy framework (SPF) check on my email address, which told him it did not have an SPF record, and therefore my work email network was not configured under sender policy framework (SPF). He was therefore able to use a utility he created himself to construct the dummy email from my editor.
Phishing attacks are no longer mass emails that land in your inbox like silent booby traps, hoping you will click on a link that will direct you to a website laden with malware that then infects your computer. As Sjouwerman's attack proved, such attacks can happen in real time, and they often reflect just a few minutes of highly targeted research about the victim, based on what's readily available from the Web.
Often cyber criminals will use knowledge of both the bank and the bank customer to corrupt both sides in a transaction, Sjouwerman says.
Recent, high-profile break-ins against companies like email marketing company Epsilon and shoe company Zappos have enabled cyber thieves to walk off with millions of active email addresses and passwords. That information is like gold to cyber-thieves, who bide their time and use it to construct customer profiles to launch new attacks, experts say.
"The weak link is the people, both internal and external to the bank," says Julie Conroy McNelley, a research director for Aite Group, of Boston.
Last year's attack against one of the largest security firms in the world, RSA Security, in which hackers successfully spear-phished an employee, leading to theft of code RSA uses to create its security tokens, underscores how vulnerable employees are and how sophisticated the attacks have become, McNelley says.
More than 12% of small business owners have had funds stolen from their bank accounts, according to a September survey of 210 small business owners from Gartner. Of that number, 63% report the theft occurred through electronic funds transfer. The average amount stolen was $3,400.
Security awareness education is the most powerful weapon, says Sjouwerman, who estimates 20% of people at organizations across the board are most susceptible to phishing attacks. Education campaigns can be targeted at this least-knowledgeable group, experts said.
But there are other critical areas both banks and their customers must stay on top of, including making sure that computer networks are configured properly, that application software is up-to-date, and that computers are running the proper anti-malware and anti-virus programs, Sjouwerman says.
Many banks, realizing that human fallibility is eternal, are protecting themselves by assuming the end users of their corporate accounts are infected with viruses and malware, McNelley says. By employing a multi-layered security approach, which is now mandated by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, banks can use powerful anomaly detection tools that detect suspicious behavior and fend it off before it turns into a major incident.
Among the top spear-phishing scams that Sjouwerman highlights are ones that pull at the emotional strings of business owners or bank employees, such as layoff notices, notices from watch dog organizations like the Better Business Bureau, or notices of fake lawsuits with infected attachments. Sweeter deals, like offers of free dinners from organizations an entrepreneur or employee might have listed on LinkedIn as an affiliation, are also on the rise. And mobile attacks are growing in frequency too. Criminals will also use account passwords and log-ins they've stolen online to encourage users to download more malware to their smartphones, for example malware that poses as out-of-band authentication from a bank. They thereby control both ends of the transaction.
"[Cybercriminals] look at everyone who works at a bank, and they find out who is in charge of systems, and who is responsible for ACH or large money transfers, and they social engineer those people, usually through email," Sjouwerman says.

In the Pre-Kanyean Age of Chicago, hip-hop was often viewed similarly to quarterbacking in the City of Weak Shoulders, leading one editor at a prominent hip-hop publication to famously remark "3 million motherfuckers, and not one can rap!" Well, times have sure changed, and in the shadow of reigning Chicago kings like Kanye West and Common, a vibrant underground scene has flourished, with DJs like Flosstradamus fertilizing a new school off DJs, MCs and producers. Trading in bling for vintage kicks and mopeds for Benz, these youngsters flashback to the earlier days of hip-hop, with populist beats spanning electro-to-indie, pop-to-new wave, Chicago house to Baltimore beats…and the crowds that soon massed were as diverse as the influences flaunted on their day-glow sleeves. Ex-backpackers, ex-ravers, indie kids and hell—you might catch Nancy from accounts receivable juking it up in the corner. So is this a new fad or the foundation for a new vibrant underground? The musical jury is still deliberating, but URB Magazine has honored these Young Turks with the cover of their 150th issue. Tonight, Hollywood Holt, Million $ Mano, Vyle, Major Taylor and other honorees will be on hand to celebrate this latest spotlight on their up-and-coming scene. (Duke Shin)
