I firmly believe in having a nutritious breakfast in the morning to start the day. Not only did my mother brainwash me, I mean teach me that it was best to always eat a good meal, but I remember having my teachers at school tell me the same thing. Even though I sleep all night, when I awake in the morning I'm hungry and half asleep, so I need something to energize me.
I don't really feel like cooking a big meal in the morning and I don't want to get up extra early to cook an extravagant breakfast before going to work either. My Healthy & Moist Baked Apple Blueberry Oatmeal recipe is the answer to my grumbling stomach. Not only is this oatmeal healthy and delicious, but I can make it the night before, cut it into one serving portions and put them in the freezer. Then I have a great breakfast ready to warm up for many, many days and all I had to do was cook one time!
Usually the problem with baked oatmeal is that it is dry, but this recipe is extremely moist! The maximum amount of liquid has been added to ensure that the oatmeal is fluffy and the fruits are plump. I really love oatmeal prepared this way and always look forward to breakfast.
This is a very simple recipe that you will find is easy to cook and very delicious.
So we start by whisking together eggs, milk, half and half…
applesauce (I used my homemade apple sauce – yummy) and…
vanilla extract until…
very bubbly. I love all the bubbles! By the time I finish whisking, there seems to be a million tiny little bubbles. When I stop the mixer, they start popping. It is a sweet sound.
Yes, I'm still quite young at heart.
Mix together cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and cloves. Of course, if you spill them on the counter, use a very sharp knife to scoop up the mess because you need to add it all to get the maximum flavor.
Add the spices to the oats and mix well.
Add apples, walnuts, blueberries, raisins and mix well. If using an electric mixer, combine on low so that you do not cause the fruit to break up. After taking all the time to cut the apples into nice cubes, it would be a shame to mess them all up by turning them into mush.
Pour mixture into the buttered dish and let sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the liquid.
I always set the baking dish on a cookie sheet.
If you are not using the topping, bake for 55-60 minutes. The topping is not necessary to add sweetness to the dish. The fruit adds plenty of natural sweetness.
If using the topping, bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add the measured topping ingredients.
Now mix the topping ingredients with a fork. Remove dish from the oven and sprinkle the topping over the oatmeal. Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 more minutes. This is going to give you a crispier crunch on top.
Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes before serving.
You can add whipping cream, drizzle with honey, add a couple tablespoons of apple sauce or milk. If you are having this as a dessert, you can even put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
I love that this oatmeal is moist and light.
The oatmeal is healthy for you and it will stick with you until lunch.
The oatmeal is so satisfying that you will not have any mid-morning cravings for a snack.
Even if you are eating it like a dessert with tons of whipped cream and/or ice cream, you will still get full and lose the craving for more sweets. Honestly, if I can say that, you MUST know it is true!
By the way, I use Braeburn apples more than any other when baking this Apple Blueberry Oatmeal recipe because they have the perfect combination of sweet and tart. Since there are also sweet golden raisins, the tartness of the apple balances it out perfectly.
I never tire of this oatmeal for breakfast
My favorite way of eating it is with a little applesauce added on top and mixed into the oatmeal after it has been heated.
I love that I can freeze it in portion sizes and just pop one in the refrigerator the night before and then heat it in the morning. Most of all, it is a very healthy breakfast that satisfies until lunch and is packed with delicious flavors.
Take a bite.
It was good wasn't it?
I told you it was delicious!
Yes, you can come over now. I have plenty to share with you.
Dang! I hear the doorbell ringing already. How did you get here so fast?!!!

by Cory K. Kestner / New Jersey Condemnation Law
In the recent unpublished opinion in Rosenberg v. City of Newark, Docket No. 018031-2009 (Tax Ct. August 16, 2012), a New Jersey Tax Court judge affirmed a property's assessment after rejecting comparable sales evidence provided at trial by a pro seplaintiff as proof of the fair market value for his two-family rental property. The judge found the plaintiff, testifying as his only witness, failed to provide testimony about the circumstances surrounding each sale, and did not have sufficient knowledge of the interiors of the property because plaintiff had not inspected the interior of any the comparable properties. Newark's Chief Tax Assessor testified that one of the comparable sales had a lis pendens filed that provided notice of a pending foreclosure action, and thelis pendens signified that the seller was under financial pressure to sell. He also testified that a second sale was an estate sale, as well as potentially between members of the same family, and that both facts would indicate that the sale was not an arm's length transaction. Here, the judge found that the evidence presented by the plaintiff was not reliable proof of the market value of the subject property for the reasons stated by Newark's Chief Tax Assessor.
In both real property tax appeals and eminent domain cases, a property's value is determined by its fair market value. Fair market value can be determined by the comparable sales approach, the cost approach, and/or the income approach. When using the comparable sales approach, as the plaintiff did here, the sale of the comparable property is compared to the subject based on its type, size, age, condition, and potential other factors, and adjustments are then made to the sales price based on differences between the two properties. This method also requires an investigation into the circumstances of the sale to determine whether or not it was an arms' length transaction between a knowledgeable buyer and seller, neither being under any compelling obligation to act. Courts will reject sales as evidence where the seller was influenced to sell the comparable at a price much higher or lower than similar properties.
It is vital for a witness to thoroughly investigate the background of a comparable sale before relying on the sale. Failing to research the sale can lead to having the evidence found unreliable, or worst, being made to look like an incompetent witness on the stand at trial despite having presented other credible evidence and testimony. The plaintiff's mistakes in this case could have been avoided by hiring a competent attorney and appraisal expert to establish the value of the property.

Iraqi October oil exports and revenues up slightly
Iraq's oil exports and revenues were slightly higher in October compared to the previous month, oil ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said on Thursday.
Iraq exported 81.3 million barrels of oil in October for an average of about 2.62 million barrels per day (bpd), compared with about 2.6 million bpd in September, he said.
The revenues from October oil exports were $8.578 billion earned at an average price of $105.51 per barrel, Jihad said. Iraq earned $8.4 billion from oil exports in September.
Iraq has proven reserves of 143.1 billion barrels of oil and 3.2 trillion cubic metres (111.9 trillion cubic feet) of gas, both of which are among the largest in the world.
Crude exports account for the lion's share of government income, and Baghdad is looking to dramatically ramp up both production and sales in the coming years, bringing in much-needed cash to rebuild its conflict-battered economy.

I was asked if I would be interested in helping the Rio Cinema out in Dalston as they were in desperate need of a new website. With the chance to make some nice work for nice people I said yes.
I designed the entire site and considered how this design could be extended to a couple of email templates and the printed programme design. Unfortunately the Rio were unable to secure funding in order to implement design and so the project is on indefinite hold.

they need to bundle the rom on disk so us honest people (about 3, i think) can re-live their teen years with a clear conscious.
i know there are sites on the net with every atari/sega/nintendo game ever made, but maybe if there was a bulk $50/the lot price, bundled w/ a great emulator package, more people would be interested.
who puts $2 on their credit card?

|$2 each? come on! (11:44am est wed apr 11 2001)
i think they should be giving those out for free! unless you're a serious collector, i can't imagine anyone paying $2 each for those old cartridges. not only are they selling for pennies at old flea markets, but atari sells a cd version with 6 atari games on it for about $10.00, too. activision sells one as well, and in the same price range. – by reindeer flotilla

$2 for a vintage game in good working order is a fair price, yeah some are worth nothing such as pacman which hit production of 10,000,000 in sales but for any game with a rarity of 2 or more $2 is very fare, hell i seen where one game cartridge sold on ebay for over 1700 a few months back, pepsi invaders, im sure that was a stupid purchase in their mind too, that game was distributed by cocacola to employees with a production of only 125 games, i sure reindeer flotilla would think that is stupid too, but 20 years from now the owner of that game will probably get 10-15 k for it while reindeer flotilla is sitting in his or her roach infected section 8 apartment with its xbox 360 games that will be valued at 10 cents each obviously reindeer is not a collector not does reindeer understand the value and time involved on searching for games with any scarcity and its also obvious they doe not appreciate the history of atari being the corner stone of video game market making it what it is today. my advise for reindeer is to go out in the woods with some antlers attached when dick cheney is hunting. :) you low life narrow minded section 8 yeast infection of a human being – by love sean

Is Psychotherapy More Effective When Therapists Disclose Information?
In the world of psychology therapist raise a question whether or not they should "disclose personal information during psychotherapy. Several therapists "have suggested that therapist self-discloser can have a positive impact on treatment. From this view, self-discloser by the therapists may elicit greater discloser by the client enhancing the possibilities for client self-exploration"(e.g., Bugental, 1965, chap. 7; Jourad, 1971, chap. 17; Strassberg, Roback, D'Antonio & Gable, 1977). In addition, "self-discloser is thought to encourage an atmosphere of honesty and understanding between client and therapist, fostering a stronger and more effective therapeutic relationship"). However many other therapist disagrees with that statement. They reply " psychodynamic theorist since Freud have generally regarded therapist self-disclosure as detrimental to treatment because it might interfere with the therapeutic process, shifting the focus of therapy away from the client"(e.g., see cutis, 1982b; Freud, 1912/1958; Greenson, 1967, chap. 3). In addition, it is argued that therapist self-discloser may adversely affect treatment outcome by exposing therapist weakness or vulnerabilities, thereby undermining client trust in the therapist"(e.g., see cutis, 1982b, 1981)
According to the journal "These differences in identifying therapist self-disclosures may be of importance in the evaluation of their impact on treatment. For example, theoretical concerns about therapist self-discloser have emphasized the risk of shifting the focus of therapy away from the client. However when therapist self-disclose, are in direct response to comparable client disclosers the presumed risk of alerting the focus of treatment is likely to reduced".

In Episode 12 of the Days of our DOL Lives …
Congress still on the "outs" with DOL pick ─ who, in turn, has undisclosed Nanny Baggage to resolve. Meanwhile, Donald still has commitment issues …
If you thought this was going to be a political piece, sorry to dismay but it is not. This is the actual update from the past few days of our lives. Politics aside, the viewing audience has been kept on their seats in deft fixation on the outcome. The cost to the industry of the seesaw of the last four airings of this melodrama has to be in the Billions of dollars. The winners? The lawyers and consultants. The losers, the Investors. Read more
For Mutual Fund Distributors, RegTech Is Now A Question of Survival
Whatever happens to the Department of Labor fiduciary rule, the mutual fund industry is moving into a "fiduciary era." For one thing, investment advisors hope to capitalize on investors' heightened awareness of the role of a fiduciary. For another, the backlog of regulatory change that must be implemented is large and there are many processes in place that were implemented with time to market not efficiency of execution that need to be addressed.
Besides demanding ever-greater levels of transparency, regulators are also beginning to turn their attention to RegTech, to ensure investment firms have the systems to manage compliance workloads. As we look ahead to a future dominated by financial technology, it's becoming clear that when it comes to data management, only the fittest will survive. Read more
SEC Guidance Paper is a Heads Up for Potential Avalanche of Filings

The DOL Fiduciary Rule is Igniting a Revolution in the Mutual Fund Industry's Back-Office
The burning issue for the mutual fund industry is whether the Trump administration will curtail or rescind the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule. The nomination of Andrew Puzder for Labor Secretary, who is anti-regulation, could mean changes to the fiduciary rule as it currently stands. While it's meant to remedy conflicts of interest in the provision of commission-based retirement products, opponents fear it could lead to advisors to abandon mass-market clients. Read more
Jim Carrey for Education Secretary and Effect on DOL Rule
Today's news declaring Andy Puzder as Trump's pick for Labor Secretary does not bode well for the short-term prospect of moving the date of the DOL Fiduciary Rule. For the past several weeks, the consensus in our industry was that the date could be moved by the incoming Secretary. The caveat is that the incoming Labor Secretary's ability to move the date hinges on his/her confirmation by the legislature in a timely manner. Read more
The New Stripped Down Mutual Fund Share Classes
The new DOL Fiduciary rule has barely gone into effect, and it is already starting to shake things up. One of the first changes we are starting to see is a new set of mutual fund share classes. American Funds and Franklin Templeton have already announced new share classes to help advisors deal with the new fiduciary rule. Rest assured, there will be more.
These new share classes are what some are calling "stripped down" share classes as they carry no sales load, no 12b-1 fees and no sub-TA fees. Bare bones. Absolutely no compensation from the fund to the distributor. It is up to the distributor to figure out how to charge their clients and in turn compensate the advisor.

Reference to variables set by interruption (CC-RL)
Last Updated:05/10/2017
I am using RL78 Compiler CC-RL. I use a normal function to reference variables whose values are set by an interrupt function, but the values are not reflected.
int data;
void func(void)
data = 0;
while(data == 0); /* After data is set to 1 by an interrupt function, exit the loop. */
If the volatile qualifier is not added in the variable definition, a code on which the value is not reflected might be output depending on the optimization settings.
When the variable value changes due to interruption, add the volatile qualifier in the variable definition.

Samsung has lifted the lid off its next generation Exynos 5 Dual processor, and it has a spec sheet that's sure to get techheads salivating.
The new 1.7GHz dual-core processor has enough grunt to support a massive 2560x1600 resolution (which nicely matches up with the display of the rumoured 11.8in Samsung P10 tablet) as well as dealing with 1080p 60fps video and 3D graphics.
USB 3.0, SATA 3 and wireless display support practically throw the Exynos 5 into full-blown PC territory, and all while knocking power consumption down by 30 per cent.
It's too early to tell which products will be getting a taste of Sammy's latest silicon, but we're looking forward to testing out its power on future releases.

Cynicism is a term which originally referred to the ancient Greek philosophy of the Cynics, often considered to have been founded by Antisthenes. Currently, the word "cynicism" generally refers to the opinions of those who are inclined to reject appearances of sincerity, human virtue, or altruism, and maintain that self-interest is the primary motive of human behaviour. The most extreme forms of cynicism can lead to anomie and nihilism.
- There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
- Maya Angelou, as quoted in The Truth in Words (2005) by Neal Zero
- Cynic: An idealist whose rose-colored glasses have been removed, snapped in two and stomped into the ground, immediately improving his vision.
- Rick Bayan (b. 1950), U.S. author, copyrighter and cynic. The Cynic's Dictionary (1994)
- The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes — openly bad and secretly bad.
- Henry Ward Beecher, in Lectures to Young Men: On Various Important Subjects (1860) Lecture IV : Portrait Gallery
- Cynic, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.
- Ambrose Bierce, in The Devil's Dictionary (1911)
- Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
- Charlie Chaplin, in The Great Dictator (1940)
- Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us.
- Stephen Colbert, Knox College Commencement Address (3 June 2006)
- Cynicism is full of naive disappointments.
- Mason Cooley (1927-2002), American aphorist. City Aphorisms (1984)
- Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.
- Mason Cooley, City Aphorisms, Sixth Selection (1989)
- Cynicism is intellectual treason.
- Norman Cousins, Human Options (1981)
- Cynics are disappointed romantics; they keep looking for someone to admire and can never find anyone.
- Len Deighton, Stated by the character, Byrd, in An Expensive Place to Die (1967), Ch. 34
- People who are stupid, unscrupulous, or hypocritical, think that others are just the same. And — this is the real pity — they treat them as if they were.
- Josemaría Escrivá Furrow #551
- I was too green to know that all cynicism masks a failure to cope – an impotence, in short; and that to despise all effort is the greatest effort of all.

- Those who are too weak to make a stand against reality have no choice but to obliterate themselves by identifying with it. They are never rationally reconciled to civilization. Instead, they bow to it, secretly accepting the identity of reason and domination, of civilization and the ideal, however much they may shrug their shoulders. Well-informed cynicism is only another mode of conformity. These people willingly embrace or force themselves to accept the rule of the stronger as the eternal norm.
- Max Horkheimer, Eclipse of Reason (1947), p. 113
- There is a principle, supposed to prevail among many, which is utterly incompatible with all virtue or moral sentiment; and as it can proceed from nothing but the most depraved disposition, so in its turn it tends still further to encourage that depravity. This principle is, that all benevolence is mere hypocrisy, friendship a cheat, public spirit a farce, fidelity a snare to procure trust and confidence; and that while all of us, at bottom, pursue only our private interest, we wear these fair disguises, in order to put others off their guard, and expose them the more to our wiles and machinations.

- During the Cold War, you could trot out communism or anti-imperialism as alternatives, but today few people will believe your obviously corrupt system is better than the rule of law and democracy championed by the West. So you appeal to cynicism rather than idealism. You say that the so-called democracies of the world are just as craven and corrupt as anyone, but less honest about it; that every country kills its enemies; that all media is propaganda; that morality is just a weapon some countries use to beat up others; that in this contest, there is no objective truth, just subjective opinion, no right or wrong, just winners and losers.
- Tom Malinowski, "What America Stood For" (25 March 2017), The Atlantic
- Cynicism is intellectual dandyism.
- George Meredith, in The Egoist (1879), Ch. 7
- A society that is in its higher circles and on its middle levels widely believed to be a network of smart rackets does not produce men with an inner moral sense; a society that is merely expedient does not produce men of conscience. A society that narrows the meaning of 'success' to the big money and in its terms condemns failure as the chief vice, raising money to the plane of absolute value, will produce the sharp operator and the shady deal. Blessed are the cynical, for only they have what it takes to succeed.
- C. Wright Mills, The Power Elite (1956), p. 347

- All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism — it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.
- Conan O'Brien, Final words, January 22, 2010 TV Guide news
- Diogenes, in his mud-covered sandals, tramps over the carpets of Aristippus. The cynic pullulated at every corner, and in the highest places. This cynic did nothing but saboter the civilisation of the time. He was the nihilist of Hellenism. He created nothing, he made nothing. His role was to undo — or rather to attempt to undo, for he did not succeed in his purpose. The cynic, a parasite of civilisation, lives by denying it, for the very reason that he is convinced that it will not fail. What would become of the cynic among a savage people where everyone, naturally and quite seriously, fulfils what the cynic farcically considers to be his personal role?

Kevin Bales, co-founder of Free the Slaves and well-known human trafficking expert, first estimated there to be 27 million slaves worldwide. This was an approximation offered in his 1999 book Disposable People. Since then, the topic of human trafficking has garnered international attention—yet for the past 14 years, the estimated number of slaves worldwide rested at Bales' original approximation. But now, with a team of researchers at the Walk Free Foundation, Bales has introduced a new number: 29.8 million. The new "Global Slavery Index 2013" seeks to measure international slavery and human trafficking, and to provide informational tools for institutions fighting the problem.
Two potential weaknesses of such a report lie in its definition (how broad or specific it is, how easy to measure) and its methodology: how does one measure the global population of slaves worldwide, when slavery is an illegal and clandestine activity? The report's authors explain their methodology, which focused primarily on secondary collection (via both governmental and non-governmental reports) and representative random sample surveys. Nick Grono, CEO of the Walk Free Foundation, told The Guardian, "Measuring a hidden crime is very challenging, but there are efforts to measure domestic abuse and drug trafficking. A lot of it boils down to taking the best data on reported issues and then looking at the scale of the unreported or 'dark' problems."
The index's definition of slavery and human trafficking has received some skepticism. Bridget Anderson, Deputy Director of the Centre on Migration, Policy, and Society at Oxford, told The Guardian this report gathers "unjust situations" around the world and labels them as "slavery." "You have a definitional problem, everything depends on the definition and if you use tricky words like 'forced', you are already straying into difficult territory," she said. Here is an excerpt from the report's definition section:
In 2013, modern slavery takes many forms, and is known by many names. Whether it is called human trafficking, forced labour, slavery or slavery-like practices (a category that includes debt bondage, forced or servile marriage, sale or exploitation of children including in armed conflict) victims of modern slavery have their freedom denied, and are used and controlled and exploited by another person for profit, sex, or the thrill of domination … The chains of modern slavery are not always physical – sometimes escalating debts, intimidation, deception, isolation, fear or even a 'marriage' that is forced on a young woman or girl without her consent can be used to hold a person against their will without the need for locks or chains.
One can see Anderson's point. Not only does this definition include a plethora of hidden, illegal criminality—it also includes criminality across a broad variety of platforms: the trafficking of persons across borders, private commercial labor, sex slavery, child soldier kidnappings, and forced marriages. Also, from reading Bales' books and a variety of other books on the subject, I have learned "coercive labor" situations often do involve pay. But they involve pay in ridiculously minuscule amounts, offset by mountains of employer-determined debt. Thus, the "bondage" described is of a tricky and hidden nature.
The report's definition is not necessarily wrong. It is good to have some broad (albeit sketchy) statistics on the issue. But Grono himself admitted "the data is not that strong; we want to be open about this. If a government says they don't agree [with the data], we will say great, let's work with a national statistics office to do a study across the country to try and analyse the scale of the problem."
While child and forced marriage are awful human rights abuses, should they be included in the Global Slavery Index? Perhaps so—but consider, we now have a conglomeration of commercial, domestic, and sexual exploitation in the same dataset. How does one begin to parse a number so large? The index's inclusion of basic law information for the top 10 worst countries in the index could be helpful—if one fights trafficking in Mauritania, Haiti, Pakistan or India. But this is a limited contribution.
This is not meant to be harsh—the report's authors are working for a noble cause. But one hopes they can improve the index with time. Perhaps a next step would be to specify data according to definitional groupings. What if one was to apportion the numbers for each nation according to commercial, domestic, and sexual slavery (perhaps another category for child soldiers, as well)? It would require more work, of course, but this division would allow for more practical data offerings. 29.8 million is a horrid and shocking number. But it is also, unfortunately, a rather useless one at this point.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Tony Coelho (D-Merced) spent $1,328 to buy some wine goblets, while Rep. Gene Chappie (R-Chico) plunked down $248.88 for a hog and $478.68 for a pair of lambs. Richmond Democrat George Miller, meanwhile, paid $297.09 for gas to blow up dinner balloons, and Newport Beach Republican Robert E. Badham shelled out $6,000 for a used Cadillac.
Money is the grease that lubricates the machinery of politics, and campaign records on file at the Federal Election Commission show that California congressmen keep their machines well-oiled. Vast amounts of cash pass through their campaign treasuries even in non-election years, much of it spent on offbeat items that seem far removed from the business of getting into office and holding on to it.
From the beginning of 1985 through last March, records show, campaign committees for the state's 45 congressmen have raked in a whopping $7.65 million in contributions--which averages more than $170,000 apiece to run their campaigns, giving incumbents a large leg up on any challengers. And fund-raising for all candidates, incumbents and challengers alike, can only be expected to accelerate in the days before the June 3 primary and November general election.
From Rent to Liquor
During that same 15-month period, campaign committees of delegation members spent a total of $5.9 million--an average of $131,143 apiece--on everything from office rent, postage and polls to liquor, baby sitters and dry cleaning.

On the eve of all the film festival glitz, it seems timely to turn to a frothier topic than usual. I don't want to talk about the festival itself though – what could I possibly add to the existing volume of chatter? – so I'll take the next best route and talk about the Oscars. Except that I'll talk about Oscars that aren't really noticed – the ones they give out to old timers. Usually, of course, these are esteemed figures who somehow failed to win in the main event, like Peter O'Toole or Lauren Bacall. Sometimes they go to people who've already won, presumably on the basis that once wasn't enough; when they picked out Elia Kazan a few years back, it must have been on the basis that twice wasn't enough.
I really liked it when they used to present these "honorary awards" as part of the main show, but I can see why they switched a few years back to doing it at a separate dinner event (condensed into barely a minute of subsequent highlights during the big show itself) – it slowed things down, and must often have seemed mystifying to the younger demographic. By all accounts, the honorary dinner is a good event, freed from the demands of prime-time pacing (to the extent the Oscars adhere to that anyway) and full of happy reminiscence. And by decoupling this aspect of things from the main event, the Oscar people felt able to increase the number of awards, from one or two to three or four a year. Last year these included Jean-Luc Godard, a stunning choice, as if they were indulging in my old game of forging a Nobel Prize for cinema. Godard didn't show up to receive it, but he didn't reject it either, which seems like the right balance.
This year's receipients, announced in advance a few weeks back, are substantially less exciting. The first goes to Dick Smith, a make-up artist who won in 1984 for Amadeus and is reportedly known as the "godfather of make-up" (he even worked on The Godfather!) I'm sure it's deserved, but unless you have a passion for make-up (and if I did have, I likely wouldn't admit it) it's hard to get too excited about it.
The second is the "Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award," handed out every few years for outstanding contributions to humanitarian efforts. It's been given thirty-three times over the years, and the list of recipients mostly breaks down either between producers and other industry big-shots, or else megastars like Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope (also Charlton Heston, perhaps not primarily remembered as a "humanitarian" exactly). That's right, it's easier to be a world-class philanthropist if you're grossly overpaid and fawned over. This train of thought acquired greater momentum when Oprah Winfrey was announced as this year's winner. No doubt she's a humanitarian, but as many pointed out, the woman barely has anything to do with cinema (if they wanted to stretch the mandate, why not go all the way and award it to Nelson Mandela, given how he was played in a movie by Morgan Freeman and all?) The Academy president defended the decision in these terms: "We have a lot of people who are TV people who have made movies. It doesn't matter that they do other things. She is definitely one of us. What really counts is her contribution to humanity."
James Earl Jones
I do wish Winfrey's "contribution to humanity" more tangibly outdid her contribution to narcissism and terminal distraction. Still, that's easier to take than this year's third choice, James Earl Jones. It says a lot that even the Academy's news release was reduced to citing his work in Conan the Barbarian, Field of Dreams and Coming to America, as well as his voice work in Star Wars and The Lion King; he did receive one Oscar nomination, for The Great White Hope in 1970, but hasn't come close since then to doing anything award-worthy. In other words, Jones' film career consists largely of embellishing the edges of things, seldom contributing a complex performance. This was also somewhat true of last year's winner, Eli Wallach, but Wallach's filmography overflows with colour and relish and quirkiness; Jones' film career merely evokes the steady rhythm of easy pay cheques offered and received.
One online commentator mentioned Liv Ullmann, Donald Sutherland, Gena Rowlands, Alan Alda and Doris Day as more deserving recipients – I'm not sure about Alda, whose work in cinema is minor-league next to what he did in TV, but the other suggestions are unarguable; as would be Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau, Max von Sydow and Albert Finney. Perhaps Jones deserves a bit of extra consideration for fighting his way up during an unfriendly era for black actors. But a better way to spread the wealth in that direction would have been to recognize Melvin van Peebles, who directed the groundbreaking Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song in the early 70's.
Maybe next year?
It's also a shame the Academy didn't follow-up on their Godard move by recognizing another of the great foreign directors, such as Alain Resnais, or Godard's New Wave compatriot Jacques Rivette. If I'd been writing this article a couple of years ago, I would have referred to compatriots in the plural, and gone on to include Eric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol, but they both died. The honorary awards are prone to that of course, reminding you of the joke about how the title of "World's oldest person" must be jinxed because the recipients never seem to live for very long afterwards. Arthur Penn passed away recently before the Academy could get to him, and they only reached Robert Altman with a few years to spare. Following a morbid train of thought, 81-year-old Paul Mazursky (who made Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and An Unmarried Woman) would be a worthy winner, and it might not be too early to reach out to David Lynch or Brian de Palma. Or our own David Cronenberg! But then, since Cronenberg remains more productively active than anyone else mentioned in this paragraph, there's still hope he might win one by himself.
Well, it's a silly thing to spend time on of course, but much as you might try to be a serious-minded film enthusiast – and I swear, I usually try pretty hard – it's hard not to get pulled into the accompanying infrastructure of list-making and ratings and comparison: as I write, the Internet is already gearing up with predictions for next year's Oscars (I mean, it's barely more than six months away). That's all fine to a point, but predicting whether people like Melissa Leo go home with an Oscar or not seems like the very essence of a lightweight pursuit. Musing on the possibility of an award for Agnes Varda – now that's serious!

Protein Structure: How the Proteins are organized in tertiary Structure
This is very compact three-dimensional structure, the wound has previously viewed and secondary structures of the segments without secondary structure. There is also the ionic interactions , the hydrophobic interaction (stronger in the center of the protein), the hydrogen bonds stabilizing folding, the forces Van der Waals, the disulfide bridges.
"In proteins, the spatial arrangement of amino acid residues that are far from each other in the linear sequence, as well as the pattern of hydrogen bonds, disulphide bonds, hydrophobic bonds and ionic bonds".
- What are the stabilizing forces involved in the Protein organization
- These were created after the completion of three-dimensional protein folding and have a key role in maintaining the tertiary structure .
- The biologically active form of Globular Proteins are in Tertiary structure, which is in three-dimensional conformation.
- The best example of Tertiary Structure of Proteins are Myoglobin (Muscle Respiratory Pigment) and Ribunuclease. (RNA digestive enzyme).
Basic points on Tertiary Structure of Proteins:
The folding of a protein is connects to the Genomic function
- This leads us to define the concept of areas .
- Domains are compact subunits.
- They are linked by peptide sequences usually short and without secondary structure.
- These areas are almost "independent" from the rest of the tertiary structure of the globular protein.
- Indeed, they have their own and are stable tertiary structure independently of the rest of the polypeptide chain.
- There is a specific function of the protein. This introduces the concept of stereo specificity . These areas may appear as topographically crevices, particular areas. This spatial configuration must meet those of other structures of other molecules, dimensional structure, biological role and stereo-specificity therefore are necessarily linked.
- This is what defines active site : the spatial conformation of protein amino acids normally close and distant form the active site, the active site often housed in the crevasse . Thus the observed protein-ligand recognition .
- This recognition is performed by establishment of complementarity then non-covalent bonds that do not require the intervention of a catalyst.

The first place my mind went involved getting rid of some of the paper in my room. I am the queen of piles. As the year goes on and there is more to do, the piles get bigger and bigger. Once those little chromebooks arrived, I immediately knew what I wanted to start with.
Some of you may have the same thoughts: this whole common core thing is killing my students with writing and explaining! We transitioned this year into comprehension questions for each Houghton Mifflin story that involve collaboration and communication. They encourage the students to think more critically and, in some cases, creatively (see what I did there??). The problem we found with these questions was that they took the students forever and a day to write down the gist of what they discussed with their table groups. Enter: Google Forms.
I had dabbled in the basics of Google Forms and sort of knew what to do in terms of setting one up. So, I took the comprehension questions for that week and began to enter them into the Forms template (which provides options for longer/shorter responses, multiple choice, etc...)
*Note, make sure to include a name section when you create a form so that it will tell you who owns each response. Google creates a spreadsheet of the answers.
The confusing part became sharing the completed piece with my class. At first, I shared the form with all of them but immediately realized my mistake: they were all working in the same document. After some trial and error, I settled on creating a Google Doc that contained the links to each set of comprehension questions. I shared that doc with my class and they were able to access the links from there.
I feel that there is a lot more that I can do to utilize this technology, but for now (and for computers shared with about 8 other classrooms) I am living in a very basic world in order to downsize my counter piles. Plus side: handwriting is much easier to read when it is typed into a spreadsheet!

Recovery Boiler Combustion ACE (Advanced Control Expert)
The solution for optimizing the control of recovery boilers
ANDRITZ Recovery Boiler Combustion ACE is a control optimization system that manages all aspects of recovery boiler operation. ACE helps make sure that production goals are met and that the operating costs are kept at their lowest possible level.
Because recovery boilers are difficult process areas to manage, they are often operated to less than full advantage. ACE focuses on all the important metrics that affect boiler operation, keeping them within an ideal range. ACE monitors the symmetry of combustion, flue gas flow patterns, steam superheating, liquor, and air feed by using measurement data and predictive process calculations to keep the boiler operating at top efficiency.
The coordinated production control within ACE is linked to information from other process departments, including key quality parameters and production plans. This integration helps achieve more predictable and stabilized boiler operation and helps manage liquor inventories.
With ACE managing the process, a recovery boiler will operate at peak performance, achieving the highest level of efficiency. Operator workload will be reduced, allowing mill personnel to focus on managing production.

Rogers pushes Florida past Bama
Sophomore allows three hits; Gators get key three-run seventh
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- No. 6 Florida used a first-inning run and a three-run seventh to top No. 3 Alabama 4-1 in front of 3,248 fans at Rhoads Stadium on Friday night. One more win in the series will clinch at least a share of the 2012 regular-season SEC title for the Gators, while a sweep would solidify the title outright for the Orange and Blue.
Both the Gators and Crimson Tide stand at 21-5 in league play, while Florida moved to 44-8 overall on the season. Alabama is now 45-6. Freshman Lauren Haeger went 3 for 4 for the Gators at the plate with two RBI, while classmate Sami Fagan was 2 for 4 with one run and one RBI.
The two SEC foes combined for nine hits, as the Gators out-hit the Crimson Tide 6-3.
Both hurlers went the distance as UF ace Hannah Rogers improved to 26-4 on the campaign, fanning seven Alabama batters and giving up just three hits and one run -- a Jackie Traina homer in the bottom of the seventh. Rogers walked just three. In the opposing dugout, Traina shouldered just her second loss of the year (29-2), giving up six hits and three earned runs, while walking two and retiring nine Gators by strikeout.
Florida jumped out with a one-run lead in the first thanks to two stolen bases by Fagan, who connected for an infield hopper to get on base. After Haeger reached on Bama fielding error, moving Fagan to second, the Dunnellon High School product proceeded to swipe third. With runners on the corners, Florida attempted a double steal, allowing Fagan to scamper home after Haeger's move to second garnered a throw from behind the plate.
Bama shortstop Kaila Hunt snagged the ball and fired to the dish, but an errant throw allowed Haeger to take second after Fagan scored for the 1-0 lead.
After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first by striking out the Bama side, Rogers was on fire, knocking out the next 13 in a row before allowing the Crimson Tide's first hit with one down in the bottom of the sixth. Alabama's Jennifer Fenton squeaked one through the left side, while Hunt followed with a two-out soft liner to right to put runners on the corners. With the tying run at third, Rogers put out the threat, forcing a Cassie Reilly-Boccia groundout to second.
Florida used a three-run, three-hit seventh, thanks to two two-out hits, an infield bouncer from Fagan to plate one run, followed by a two-run single smashed up the middle by Haeger for the 4-0 Florida lead.
Traina led off the bottom of the seventh with an opposite field shot for Alabama's lone run of the contest. Rogers retired the next three in order -- including her seventh strikeout to end the game -- giving the Orange and Blue the series opener.

I don't know where you live. But it's frigid in Philadelphia. For weeks, my lips have been jacked up. No matter how much I moisturized, they were snap, crackle, and poppin'. And not in a good way.
So this evening, while my hubby was away at poker night, I decided to pamper my pout. And in about 5 minutes, I had lips to die for, literally, thanks to Peter Thomas Roth's Lip Facial Trio. It's exactly what it sounds like.
First, I exfoliated my lips with the Heavenly Lemon Sugar Scrub. Then I applied the Super Smooth Lip Putty (in my opinion, the coolest part of part of the trio) – a clay-based masque that soothes and hydrates. Finally, I smeared on the Pink Bombshell Lip Balm, an iridescent lip conditioner.
I highly recommend the Lip Facial Trio, not only because it does what it promises – but because it's a completely unique product. You'd be hard-pressed to find another lip treatment that does what this does, let alone one that does it better.
If your lips are looking a hot mess, invest in this product. Your lipstick/gloss will go on more smoothly. But more importantly, your lips will look and feel fabulous.
2 Comments on Lips To Die For: Peter Thomas Roth Lip Facial Trio
sounds like fun. if you get the chance to go to an eminence organics spa, have the lip treatment. it is to die for, feels great and you can actually see your lips smoothe and plump. unfortunately its a pro product not available to consumers. do you think this product is better than the lip sugar scrub? sorry i can't think of the name of it.
i wanna try it! too bad it doesn't seem to be sold at sephora…

Was General Patton Assassinated?
During the long Cold War many Russians grew sufficiently disenchanted with the lies and omissions of their own news outlets that they turned to Western radio for a glimpse of the truth.
The growth of the Internet has now provided Americans with a similar opportunity to click on a foreign website and discover the important stories that have somehow escaped the attention of their own leading journalists. Ironically, much of such "alternative media" coverage actually appears in the leading British newspapers, eminently respectable and published in our closest historic ally.
For example, three or four years ago I noticed a link on a prominent libertarian website suggesting that George S. Patton, one of America's most renowned World War II military commanders, had been murdered by order of the U.S. government. Not being someone much drawn to conspiracy-mongering, the lurid claim seemed totally outlandish, but I decided to click my mouse and harmlessly examine a bit of Internet fringe-lunacy. However, the source turned out to be a lengthy article in Britain's Sunday Telegraph, one of the world's leading newspapers, describing a newly published book based on a decade of detailed research and interviews undertaken by an experienced American military affairs writer.
The book and the article had appeared in 2008 and I had never heard a word about the story in any of my major American newspapers. The description seemed sufficiently factual and detailed that I consulted a couple of prominent academics I know, with backgrounds in history and political science. They had also never encountered the theory, being just as surprised as I was by the material and by the fact that such remarkable revelations had never received any attention in our own country, home of the freest and most scandal-mongering media in the world

SolSmart is designating cities and counties nationwide based on their efforts to make solar more affordable for their residents and businesses.
The Compact of Mayors, COP 21, and the Clean Power Plan underscore the importance of renewable energy adoption at the local level. By establishing benchmarks and goals, these initiatives have taken the first step toward addressing climate change.
Previously, we have discussed the important role of local governments in encouraging renewable energy adoption and reducing costs. Local governments in particular can influence, non-hardware costs or soft costs, which can be up to 60% of the installation costs for solar PV. Meister Consultants Group's research through the Smart DG Hub has indicated a similar balance of system cost trend for lithium-ion and solar and storage projects of 66% and 73%, respectively.
The new SolSmart designation program helps communities take action to implement policies and programs that work to satisfy their climate and energy commitments. In particular, the adoption and promotion of solar energy represent increasingly viable and cost-effective means for helping communities nationwide to address their climate goals. Solar market development has been coupled with local economic development; the solar industry expects record installations in years to come, and each new megawatt of installed capacity can power about 164 homes and create on average 20 solar jobs.
Meister Consultants Group has supported the creation of the SolSmart designation program by leading the development of criteria to enhance a community's solar readiness and improve market development. These criteria were developed based on our experience working with governments and regional planning councils around the country and the expertise of a Criteria Advisory Committee made of national experts in communities, designation programs, and solar energy. The criteria range from procedural categories such as permitting, planning, and zoning to community engagement to address customer acquisition costs. Communities can receive cost-free technical assistance in any of the designation categories to advance their solar and climate goals.
The SolSmart program, is funded through the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot initiative, aims to drive greater solar deployment and make it possible for more American homes and business to access solar energy to meet their electricity needs. By achieving designation, municipal governments signal to the solar industry that they solar ready, and also can assist in achieving increasingly aggressive state and local greenhouse gas reduction goals.
To learn more about the SolSmart Program, apply for designation or technical assistance, or nominate a committee, please visit solsmart.org or reach out directly to us at email@example.com with the subject line "SolSmart Designation."

You will find this book beautiful and useful and it will make you wonder why you didn't think of these clever means to elevate plants.

Ace Home and Garden Sprayers
Every smart gardener needs a pump-up pressure sprayer, and if you use both pesticides and herbicides in your garden, you need two. Never put insecticide into any container that ever had herbicide in it to avoid contamination and, potentially, dead plants. Pressure sprayers work better than any sprayer on a ready-to-use product, with a more direct and adjustable spray pattern. They can be cheaper to use and can make it easier to apply sprays to a targeted area with less risk of drift. Chapin Mfg. has long been a big name in sprayers and still is, and among their products is a nifty Ace Home and Garden Sprayer. Sizes range from 1/2 gal-3 gal, and each one has features that gardeners really like -- a filter to keep the lines from clogging, a funnel top to make it easy to fill, and a handle that is easy to grip. Look for this sprayer at Ace Hardware Stores.

I would like to hear what people who have used these Readers, what they like about certain ones and what they do not like on others.

Going by the analysis of the real estate segment, the market scenario is favourable for those renting out property.
In view of the rising demand for accommodations, shops and commercial sites, the market analysts said that rents are expected to go up bringing additional profits to the real estate owners.
REITs — the FTSE NAREIT Index fell 2.2% this year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index surged 1.2%, indicating high prospects for added profit margins for the real estate market players.
"Even so, investors' concerns about the impact of rate hikes on REITs are overblown. I believe that real estate REITs are undervalued and will generate better returns in the aftermath of a rate hike," said Marc Halle, Managing Director and Head of Global Securities at Prudential Real Estate Investors.
Halle has been handling real estate investment trusts in industrial, retail and storage space. His area of operation includes apartments too. REITs units are operational in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Halle said past records revealed that REITs have performed well every time there was a hike in the interest rates. He explained that the logic that works behind this is the demand and supply business in the market.
According to him, each time rates surge, investors tend to recalculate the asset values and find it significant to look for discounts. The discounts specifically benefit the private market during the rate hikes, he said.
