I'd forgotten, but it's T. E. Lawrence's birthday today.
I write a lot about Lawrence, and this is proportionate to both my affection for him and my admiration for the idea of him: the self-contained enabler who knows himself too well to allow himself real happiness, but who nonetheless repeatedly turns his mind to the improvement of the world for others. Not just his well-publicised and morally questionable attempt to "lead the Arab peoples into freedom" (morally questionable because it smacks rightly of White Saviour), but also later as Shaw, as Ross, striving to protect his fellow servicemen – and throughout his life, handing away his money and selling his possessions to help his friends without a thought for how he would survive.
It is therefore appropriate (in the light of this and of it being his birthday and all) perhaps to use Lawrence as a jumping-off point to talk about the importance of modern legend to the individual psyche, not least because he was both opposed to and attracted by the growth of his own legend in his lifetime, creating a golden caricature of himself and attempting to flee from it in order to become Lawrence The Man rather than Lawrence The Legend. He was also keenly self-aware when it came to this dichotomy of the public perception of a man and his private self.
While a public figure is alive there are two versions of that figure: the person they are, and the shadow cast by the myths, rumours, stories, and scandals attached to them, which is almost always larger and distorted. Once the public figure is dead, the actual person at the centre of the shadow is no longer there to anchor it. He or she may live on in the memories of their intimates, but those too will be coloured by time and emotion: as they start to die the legend – no matter how hard biographers may try (and they really cannot work against it, only add to it) – is all that is left of the figure, like an indentation in the sand where they once lay.
This is a natural process in a world in which society continues past the death of the individual. I would argue that this business of creating new versions of the dead – and later "debunking" them with new evidence – is also healthy and necessary for the social psyche. It demonstrates that, in enacting deeds or in merely taking credit for deeds individuals live past their natural lifespans (very important to a social animal afraid of mortality and impermanence). With each new allegation, reverence, or debunking (the latter especially as it requires renewed focus on the figure) we are reminded of the individual and their deeds, in the manner of a ritual.
It becomes immaterial to fact if Marlowe wrote Shakespeare's plays as long as the argument keeps people recalling the 16th century; it becomes irrelevant that Hawksmoor's occult connections were largely manufactured post-mortem when they renew a passion for his architecture.
Likewise, then, it is of no real consequence when a parade of books assert that Lawrence was a good man, a bad man, a good man, and occasionally a complex and morally ambiguous man in the right place at the right time. The glittering and factually inaccurate tall Lawrence of the cinema screen remains, embedded in the social consciousness. The tiny, compact, thick-chinned Lawrence with his childish humour and terrible self-knowledge remains in the hearts of his devotees. The real Lawrence has been dead for a lifetime, and no amount of new research will resurrect him, or Wilde, or any other of our legendary personal heroes. We will never know them.
What we have access to is the legend, and that, as a product of public consciousness, is the property of anyone who experiences it. Lawrence The Man is gone, Lawrence The Memory belongs to those who knew him. Lawrence The Legend, a vast shimmering shadow beast who expands and contracts to fit the needs of the time (heroism or empiricism, Empire or self-governance) and of the individual, this Lawrence is eternal for as long as there are audiences willing to participate in recreating him.

With Ariva -- made from low-toxin tobacco with nicotine levels comparable to light cigarettes and priced comparably to premium cigarettes -- Star is targeting adult smokers, not moist snuff users, who face increasing social or legal restrictions to smoking. Ariva, powdered tobacco compressed into a pellet, dissolves in the mouth like candy.
'When you can't smoke'
The marketing positioning, "When you can't smoke," will be seen at point-of-sale. All in-store materials will be designed in-house.
No other
"We are being very conservative about advertising this product," she said. "We really don't want to be in a situation where there would ever be any sense that this would be appealing to minors." Ariva will be sold in child-resistant packs of 20.
Children at risk
But Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said he thinks children are at risk.
"We're deeply concerned that Ariva will appeal to children because of its sweet taste and because it's easy to use without being discovered," Mr. Myers said. "The potential for abuse of Ariva is very great, and it is not alleviated by a so-called child-proof package. This product has the potential of both discouraging adults from quitting and encouraging children to use tobacco."
Star plans to expand the Ariva rollout to Jackson, Miss., and Orlando, Fla., in the next six weeks.
Mint-flavored nicotine delivery system
Last month, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco introduced in Topeka, Kan., and Youngstown, Ohio, a mint-flavored smokeless tobacco product, Revel. The soft packet Revel is supported by ads from Earle Palmer Brown, New York, with the tagline "Anytime, anywhere," targeting consumers who want to light up but can't.
Revel, unlike dissolving Ariva, must be removed from the mouth after 20 to 30 minutes.

One of our jewels on the PegMedia.org lineup of shows is "Explore" from Link TV.
Explore is based on a concept developed by and advanced under the leadership of Charles Annenberg Weingarten, with the support of the Annenberg Foundation. Explore is a philanthropic multimedia organization that makes documentary films and photographs to showcase extraordinary nonprofit efforts and leaders around the world.
"Perils for Pedestrians" has been added to the ftp site. Perils goes around the US and other countries with John Wetmore to cover pedestrian related issues in various cities. This show is quite timely with the high interest in transportation and energy conservation. It also ties in well for those interested in quality of life in communities.
We've been adding more shows to Jook Joint, a great blues show produced and hosted by E. C. Scott. E. C. is well-known blues performer herself and includes a lot of great talent on the show.
Jook Joint is produced at Mid Peninsula Media Center, a community center for video media production on the San Francisco Peninsula, but the show has nationwide appeal. Jook Joint is one of PegMedia's most downloaded shows.
More shows are continually being produced and uploaded. Please check back from time to time.
As part of Link TV's commitment to PegMedia, they have put up extra episodes of Explore on PegMedia. We now have two more special episodes, one on China and the other on the Yangtze River and several other interesting topics.
Explore: China
With a population of 1.4 billion, the People's Republic of China is vitally important to the planet. China's rapid growth impacts the environment locally and globally. In a world affected by globalization, China embodies the phenomenon in both positive and negative ways. China's modern society provides a better life for many but also brings with it a loss of cultural tradition and natural resources.
To uncover some of the mysteries of China, Charles Annenberg Weingarten and the Explore team set out on a three-week fact-finding mission through Beijing, Shanghai, Tibet, Wolong, Xi'an and beyond. Each stop brings them closer to grasping the complexities of the country's ancient culture and the implications of modernization. Meeting with some of the most innovative minds and leading non-profit organizations across the country, the Explore team delves into issues such as the environment, human rights, public health, social change, philosophy and education.
From the Yangtze to the 'Hood
Join Charles Annenberg Weingarten and the Explore team in this special program featuring some of their most memorable expeditions, including a journey down China's spectacular Yangtze River; a glimpse into the lives of Orca whales; a visit to a notorious African slave dungeon; and the inspiring story of how Father Boyle created Los Angeles-based "Homeboy Industries" – a non-profit organization that has succeeded in helping troubled youth leave the gang life to lead positive and productive lives.
For previews of these and other Explore programs, be sure to visit their web site at www.explore.org. You can also sign up for the Explore newsletter at their site as well.
The Explore programs are of extremely high production quality and should be of interest to virtually every audience. Please take a look at these shows and the others in the Explore series. We think you'll like them. And thanks to Link TV for sharing.
The goal of PegMedia is to be a "community sharing community media". The words of Saturday Fright Special's Mark Nelson say it best:
"I have to say that I absolutely love the PegMedia site. I'd briefly been involved with delivering our show (SATURDAY FRIGHT SPECIAL) digitally via BitTorrent to a site maintained by the Concord, NH access station, and this is far easier and faster. Navigation and the organization of information is very clear and straightforward, and the site as a nice simple, pleasing-to-the-eye look.
And let me say that we at SFS are THRILLED to see how quickly our show has been grabbed by various stations all over the country. I've become addicted to repeatedly checking the "see downloading stations" page, as until PegMedia came along, our reach was from CT to ME. I was a bit knocked for a loop when I noticed stations in FL, MN, and KS taking a look-see at our program."

Ice, Ice, Baby || How to make delicious, cold coffee!
There's a good chance that where you are, it's summer. We put together a little tutorial for you on some ways to make refreshing coffee for yourself at home. Do see.
Iced Aeropress
Since the Aeropress easily brews a delicious concentrate, it is one of our favorite ways to brew iced coffee by the cup!
To brew an iced Aeropress, you will follow the same instructions as the hot Aeropress, the only difference being that you will split the water ratio into part hot water and part ice to create the same water total.
While the normal hot ratio is 20 grams of coffee to 300 grams of water, this recipe uses 175 grams of hot water in the brewer and 125 grams of ice placed inside the mug or glass that you will plunge the concentrate onto, creating instantly iced, delicious coffee.
This ratio of hot water to ice will melt all of the ice in the brewing process, creating the same coffee to water ratio of the hot brewed Aeropress, but will be nice and cold! You can drink it straight, or serve it on the rocks. If you'd like to try this same ratio for other amounts of coffee, use a little less than half the water amount in ice form, and a little more than half for the hot water. Play around with the ratios, since the Aeropress is a great brew method to experiment with! Using a 50/50 hot water to ice ratio will yield a stronger brew without the need to add ice cubes.
Iced Chemex
The Chemex is a fun way to brew iced coffee by the cup with just a few adjustments to your regular method!
First, you'll want to do a smaller coffee to water ratio than if you were brewing it hot. We use a ratio of 1:11 for the iced Chemex.
Second, the grind will need to be a bit finer than for hot brewing. You'll be running less water through the same amount of coffee, so having a slightly finer grind will allow you to extract all of the tasty stuff out of the coffee.
Third, you'll need some ice! The weight of the ice will be included in the water portion of your 1:11 ratio. Put a bit less than half of the water weight in ice form inside the Chemex itself and the remaining weight will be hot water used to brew.
To brew two 10 ounce glasses of iced coffee, use 60 grams of coffee, 260 grams of ice inside the Chemex and 400 grams of hot water for the brew.
Follow the usual steps for brewing a Chemex, but after the filter is rinsed, you'll need to carefully remove the wet filter to dump the rinse water and fill the base of the Chemex with the 260 grams of ice. Replace the rinsed filter into the Chemex, making sure the thick side is against the spout, fill with the ground coffee, and then follow the rest of the brewing steps 400 grams of hot water.
Home Toddy System
Cold brewing coffee is an easy, simple way to create a large amount of delicious coffee concentrate that will last a week or two in your refrigerator!
The things you will need:
- A Home Toddy System, which includes the brewer, felt filter, cork, and glass draining pitcher OR a large jar of some type and some cheesecloth, a nut milk bag, or a very fine mesh sieve
- Burr Grinder
- A 12oz bag of delicious, freshly roasted Zamboni® Cold Brew from your friends at Dogwood Coffee (Or a single origin of your choosing)
- A measuring cup
Cold brewing is incredibly simple! Here are the instructions for brewing with the Toddy System:
- Place the cork firmly into the drain hole on the outside of the Toddy brewer to seal. The cork should be visibly sticking out of the brewer towards the counter.
- Place the seasoned* felt filter into the bottom groove inside the brewer.
- Grind the entire 12oz bag of coffee on the coarsest setting your grinder has, directly into the Toddy brewer.
- Measure out 7 (or 8) cups of cold, filtered water and pour it onto the coffee.
- DO NOT STIR! Stirring will cause the felt filter to clog in a devastating way, and will seriously slow down the drain time.
- Brew for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. A super convenient way to do this is to start the brew before bed and drain in the morning!
- To drain , hold the brewer over the glass carafe and carefully remove the cork. Set the brewer on the pitcher and let it drain completely.
- Dilute the final brew 50/50 with filtered water, or use the milk of your choice instead to make a delicious cold brew latte.
- Fully rinse the felt filter and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Toddy recommends getting a new filter every 3 months, or after 10-12 uses.
*Be sure to soak your brand new filter in water before use to season. If you use it right out of the box, the draining process will be painfully slow. Put the filter in a cup of filtered water in the refrigerator for a day before brewing to prepare.
For the same method using a simple jar and filter, follow the same instructions. Grind the 12oz bag of coffee on the coarsest setting directly into the jar, pour 7 (or 8) cups of cold, filtered water onto the coffee, you can stir if you'd like.
Brew overnight in your refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Use the nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine mesh sieve to filter the grounds from the brew. This method will create the same delicious concentrate as the Toddy brewer!
Have Someone Else Make It For You
Lastly, if you don't want to do any of this and you're local to the Twin Cities, you can pick up a lovely mini growler of Zamboni® cold brew concentrate we brewed for you at any of our coffee bars!
Happy brewing!

The Fort Lewis College Cycling Team is in Beech Mountain, North Carolina, this week for the 2013 USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals, where they'll try to stay the national champions of Division I collegiate mountain biking for the eighth year in a row. A team omnium title would also be the Skyhawks' 16th national mountain bike national championship in history – including the first-ever collegiate mountain bike national title in 1994, the FLC team's first year on the circuit.
The Skyhawk riders go in prepared: The team won the team omnium title and had many individual podiums at the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference Championships, held October 5th and 6th at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, defeating strong teams from the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the University of Wyoming.
At nationals, the Skyhawks will compete in the downhill and dual slalom "gravity" events, and cross country and short-track cross country "endurance" events. Team Relay is a new event this year that does not count in overall points. Some riders will be competing in both gravity and endurance events in search of an individual omnium title.
The Skyhawks also feature two returning mountain biking National Champions competing for titles again this year in Lauren Catlin and Brittany Clawson.

In 2012 killed 132 in NL and there are 500 girls and young women lost, says NGO adviser
Mexico. – Bodies tortured, mutilated and sexual violence were thrown into the streets, canals, railroads, road ditches, drains (…) The balance of Felipe Calderón: 4000 murders of 112 women and 976 missing 3000 only in the last two years: "The phenomenon of 'the dead women of Juarez' spread across the country," says Yuriria Rodriguez Estrada, general counsel of the National Citizen Femicide Observatory and Catholics for a Free Choice.
The cases were accumulated: Arely premiums Sarahí Montelongo Jeniffer Rodriguez Flores and Flores, both 16, decided to go to a party in Saltillo, Coahuila, one Sunday last month. Three days later their bodies were found with signs of torture and sexual disfigured face, lying in a drain in the municipality of Garcia, Nuevo Leon.
In Texas, this year 132 women were killed, and more than 500 girls and young women aged 10 to 20 years are missing. We won two injunctions: in Nuevo Leon state and Mexico, says lawyer femicide specialist before offering a talk at Monterrey in the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, established by the United Nations (UN).
Many of the 132 victims of Nuevo Leon have been exhibited in public and 40 percent were not identified, which shows another problem of trafficking for sexual and labor exploitation. For several weeks, the number of crimes in the state increased. The body of a 25 year old woman was located in the middle of an irrigation canal, 20 kilometers north of Montemorelos, another was taken to the edge of a railway line, where he was shot dead in the head and chest, another thrown into the streets of the colonial Coyoacan, a young woman was shot in the shoulder of the Northeast Bypass with feet bound and his head covered with tape, and a more finalized shock and shot on a street in Guadalupe with a message … all with signs of torture.
They are being murdered increasingly high levels of violence and greater display of their bodies. All this has to do with a social pattern: shoot a woman tortured and murdered in the street means that something did. That is the message we are giving the state Yuriria says Rodriguez.
He explains that "the majority of bodies found in public places across the country, have not been identified, may be from co-opted women migrants by organized crime and used for sexual exploitation, as hawks or some group of cooks crime, but they have nothing to do, even if the state involved and the claim that 70 percent belonged to organized crime. Lie. "
The increase in violence during the presidency of femicide Calderon is linked to the refusal of some states of the Republic to declare gender alert, urgent action mechanism in the absence of prevention to end violence against women, which was rejected by several governors without legal arguments and only under the misconception that it is a punishment or a political coup.
This refusal of the states of Mexico, Nuevo Leon and Guanajuato has caused a significant increase in violence against them: in Texas, for example, grew 698 percent femicide in two years, according to the Arthemisas for Equity, who reported deficiency of the authorities to investigate the killings.
According to statistics from the National Citizen Observatory of Femicide, the Attorney General of Texas, by Adrian de la Garza, said that of 132 murders of women, 52 percent were a result of organized crime, but only appropriated to homicides in 30 percent of cases.
"The authorities tell us that over 70 percent of these crimes are women who have been killed by organized crime, therefore, claim that they are not investigating drug traffickers. That's the message they send to society: as belonging to the drug, do not solve the murders, "says Rodriguez Yuriria.
Discriminatory patterns of authority have led to the significant increase in women's murders and disappearances. They are a kind of breeding ground of which the killings against them and continue sending this message: the women can kill anywhere, for us, they deserved it because they were drug dealers and no charge. Keep killing women.
Impunity has allowed women's access to justice. In the case of the murder of Rubi Marisol Frayre, daughter of Marisela Escobedo, Sergio Rafael Barraza committed by Bocanegra, who was killed a few days ago by the Army, the reaction of the governor of Chihuahua, Cesar Duarte, was to shelve the matter: "I kill him, and not investigated. Instead, research should continue to achieve real reparations not only moral, but with guarantees of non-repetition of such crimes, "he says.
Gender Alerts
The existing mechanism in Mexico to prevent violence against women, gender alert called, is unique in the world, came after the phenomenon of so-called dead women of Juarez, to prevent spread across the country, based on the coordination of state and federal authorities and financial resources allocated to it.
"We are identifying a context of systematic violence in different states of the country, where several factors converge: crossing internal and external migrants, high levels of violence against women sector, not only in domestic but also in the community; rates femicide and especially in states where there is lack of control of the armed forces and police, "said Rodriguez Yuriria.
The highest rates of violence against women were reported in Chihuahua, Veracruz, State of Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Morelos, Chiapas and Guerrero: The alerts mean more attention from state and federal resources to eradicate aggression actions against this sector of the population.
In the case of the State of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto former governor refused to gender alert "no investigations or judgments, even a thousand cases, in 592 did not know the victim-offender relationship. If he had gotten a declaration of alert would have been generated gender-sensitive protocols and actions to evaluate the work of prosecutors. And there did not follow the same systematic pattern of violence against women and zero access to justice. Carpetazos were hundred ".
For the National Citizen Femicide Observatory, formed by 50 organizations in 20 states, Felipe Calderon has a debt to women and must pay it before leaving. Yuriria Rodriguez has no doubt: "One of the things you should do before going Calderón's post reform Regulation of the General Law on Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence, to ensure the immediate implementation of the declaration of alert eradicate femicide and safeguard the lives and safety of women. "

Actor Richard Kind hopes some women aren't using #MeToo campaign for fame
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Former "Spin City" star Richard Kind is concerned some women accusing others of sexual harassment are using the #MeToo campaign to gain fame.
Kind told DailyMailTV that these accusations will change the way actresses are treated in a positive way. He also says that "it is pretty great that nobody is immune no matter how big you are."
"Rarely does what happen in Hollywood change anything, but this will," Kind said. "Not because of Harvey; because some of the princesses of this town - the Angelina Jolies and Rose McGowans - they became human; they became victims, just like the poor kid, oh my gosh. It has equalized them."
But Kind also warns that there may be some women who are lying in order to gain fame.
"But I will tell you it is also going to turn the other way where women who weren't really abused or really didn't get it, are looking for fame or saying 'me too'. I hope that doesn't happen - it could," Kind said. "But I just hope that doesn't happen. I hope people don't use it for their own aggrandizement, and to lift themselves."
Kind also didn't hesitate to criticize Weinstein for his alleged actions.
"I will tell you what has. And I hate to bring it it up. The whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is despicable," Kind said. "He deserves his punishment. What I really hope is that the bank president in Omaha, who used to hit on the new business school graduate that was pretty and in order for her to rise to the top he took advantage of her. That is all going to stop."

Attic Clear was developed in response to a customer request. It all began when Micro-Times owner and CEO Tony Leonti got a call from Rich Burdick, a lieutenant with the Palm Beach County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office.
SIG Sauer's 716 Patrol carbine is one of four SIG716 models and should be given serious consideration by tactical operators and patrol personnel working in more rural settings who may need to engage longer-range targets. Read Nick Jacobellis' full "Arsenal" review of the carbine. This gallery includes exclusive photos that didn't appear in print. Photos by Alex Landeen.
The SIG716 makes a great first impression. It's a ruggedly built 7.62mm carbine with a 16-inch barrel and a free-floating quad rail. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I was opening the box.
Just five years ago, a 200-lumen flashlight was considered amazingly bright. Now, advances in technology have made it possible to increase the power of even small flashlights to emit beyond 500 lumens of light, which is more than enough to illuminate a room and cause temporary blindness in suspects.
The number of new product offerings from Streamlight has been impressive, especially among its ProTac line of compact handhelds. I've been using the company's newest, the ProTac HL, and after only a few weeks of testing, I'm sold.
The Colt LE901-16S is a very versatile direct impingement gas-operated carbine with a 16.1-inch barrel. It's commonly referred to as a "modular carbine" because users can easily transform it from a 7.62mm NATO caliber carbine to a 5.56mm M4 carbine.
Ring Power's The Rook offers law enforcement agencies a versatile, tracked tactical vehicle with ballistic armoring rated to stop Level IV threats including armor-piercing rifle rounds. The Rook includes an armored deployment platform, hydrailic breaching ram, vehicle extraction tool, grapple claw, and 25-foot gooseneck trailer. The vehicle retails for $250,000.

#1 "People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing, well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin"
I've always been in the middle, in the gray zone, and couldn't choose between 2 almost everytime. I can't decide which I want because I really love both and want to have them all. How should I call it, indecisive or greedy?
#2 "People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away, well they give me all kinds of advise designed to enlighten me."
I am a lazy one. I can't keep the consistency. For once I am on strike, and then the flames go slighter. For once I ignite but I didn't burn the whole thing in the end. Always half and half. I spend my whole heart but the result always be like half-hearted. And I am dreaming it away. Always dreaming it away.
Those are the two parts of John Lennon's song which I love the most. The first and second line. I really enjoy listening to this song anytime especially when I am driving. It's like an anthem of life, a symbol for empowering yourself to take a charge of your life, control your own destiny and let other think whatever they are going to think about what you choose. I find it difficult for me. I make choice hesitantly, always thinking about other's judgments and eventually I made nothing. Nothing changes at all. So everytime I listen to this song, John Lennon tells me that it was okay to make the choice I had made, and it wasn't crazy after all. As long as I do and I understand what I do and everybody else might not, keep going.
So, I finally got time to read book again after my previous hectic schedule. I just finished reading this Indonesian-translation of 二十四の瞳 (Nijū-shi no Hitomi) by Sakae Tsuboi and it was a bittersweet story about the war effects. War certainly brings nothing but tragedy to humankind. Sadly, until now people still don't give peace a chance and war isn't over yet. If you love a light yet heart-touching (heart-breaking) story maybe you should try to read this book.
Counting weeks to my last clinical duty as a medical student
Many exams awaits
many things to prepare before my graduation next year
and I already made some decisions.

For the last few weeks of fall semester, Bei Heald '18's car was filled to the window frames with coats, boots, sweaters and other winter clothing donated by Smithies.
Those items were collected during a drive launched by Heald and fellow members of the student group Higher Education for Refugees at Smith (HERS), to help international refugees who will be arriving in Northampton over the next few months.
Working in collaboration with Catholic Charities, students set up collection bins in Smith houses in late October and sent out word through the Lewis Global Studies Center, the Office of Residence Life and on Facebook about the drive.
"We wanted to do something that was interactive with the community and that we could organize as students," said Heald, who is co-chair of HERS.
"We also thought that since many students would be going home over the Thanksgiving break, they could involve their families" in the clothing drive, added Khulood Fahim '19, the organization's co-chair.
The student-led drive netted numerous boxes of needed winter clothing that Catholic Charities will distribute to 51 refugees arriving in Northampton from Syria, Iraq, Burundi and other countries early this year.
(Smith's Jandon Center for Community Engagement has also begun collecting winter clothing for newly arriving refugees. Donated items can be dropped off in boxes in Wright Hall and College Hall.)
Clothing drives are among several refugee support efforts underway at Smith.
HERS was founded by students last spring following a Lewis Global Studies Center humanities lab on forced displacement and refugees.
In addition, several new initiatives related to refugee support will receive funding through President Kathleen McCartney's Innovation Challenge.
Fahim said the response to the student-led clothing drive shows Smithies are eager to help.
"My housemates were so enthusiastic," she said. "Whenever the clothing collection box got full, they would take the initiative to replace it and consistently advertised the drive within our house. We also had great support from our housekeeper, Kim Shea. It was a real community effort."
Residence Life and the Global Studies Center also helped make the drive a success, student organizers say. The campus thrift store, SmiTHrift, hosted a clothing "sorting party" in the basement of John M. Greene Hall at the end of the drive.
"The experience was the epitome of the strong student network we have at Smith and the way students connect with the community," said Beverly Lipsey '18J, junior class president and president of SmiTHrift.
Other students who helped organize the clothing drive were Julia Bouzaher '20, Rachel Cooke '20, Arielle D'Souza '20, Sara Elghazoly '19, Zahra Hannan '20, Julia Ing '19, Deniz Keles '20, Simren Nagrath '19, Vivian Nguyen '20, Eden Phillips '19, Sakaiza Rajery '20 and Tiffany Wilt '17.
Heald said Smithies will continue to raise awareness on campus about issues related to refugees.
"A lot will be going on in the community this semester," she said. "It's important as students that we not be in a bubble."

Sure Start Milk Tokens
Sure Start is another name for the Healthy Start Initiative which has been created in order to provide milk tokens to pregnant women and women with children under the age of four. The scheme provides women who are pregnant and under the age of eighteen with free milk tokens. Women who are claiming benefits are also in a position to claim milk tokens if they are pregnant or have children under the age of four.
Milk is a vitally important part of a childs diet and lifestyle, it adds significant benefits to the growth and development of children. Whole milk and other full fat dairy products are a good source of Vitamin A for children, these vitamins help the body to resist infection. This source of vitamin is also useful for maintaining healthy skin and healthy eyes.
Mothers can breastfeed babies after the age of one if they choose to do so, but mothers are also advised to give their children full fat cows milk to drink also. Full fat milk and dairy products should be used up and until a child is the age of two, this is due to the fact that the childs body needs extra vitamins up until this age.
After the age of two a mother can choose whether to introduce semi skimmed milk into the diet, this should be introduced only if a child eats a varied diet and appears to be developing well.
How much the vouchers are worth depends on the circumstances of an individual. If an individual is pregnant and receiving milk tokens, the value of the vouchers will be £3.10 per week.
If the claimant is claiming the milk tokens for babies under the age of one the amount the tokens will be worth is £6.20 per baby under the age of one. For babies over one year old but under four years old, the amount the tokens will be worth is £3.10.
The vouchers can not be used to purchased fruit and vegetables which contain added fats such as oil, salt, sugar or any other ingredients which are not deemed to be healthy such as over chips or seasoned stir frys. People who receive the vouchers but are unaware whether a product is suitable should check the pack of the food for added ingredients before purchasing. These products are not allowed as they do not provide the essential vitamins which are required for child growth.

Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is sounding off on the second season drama of her show. Nene has seen her popularity decline this season amidst her behavior on the show, which shows her as bullying others and having an over-sized ego. In her interview with Essence, Nene talks about the meeting with her alleged father, why she and Kandi's relationship turned sour and her relationship with the other Atlanta housewives.
Below are excerpts from Nene's new interview :
ESSENCE.COM: So, Miss Nene, you finally met your alleged father, whose reception didn't appear that warm. Have you two remained in touch?
NENE: It was warm enough because we are strangers. I wouldn't expect him to hug me. He was very nervous with the cameras around. It took the producers about an hour to convince him to sign the release forms. I was hoping and praying that he didn't, but I guess after they talked to him for so long he finally gave in and that's why he wouldn't allow us in the house. Had it just been me and my uncle he would have. I haven't seen him since then, but I've spoken to him. And I still haven't taken a paternity test but I believe he's my father. At some point I can do a DNA test but there's a part of me that doesn't want to know the truth. I just needed to meet him and have some closure.
ESSENCE.COM: Understood. Let's switch gears a bit. Since the sudden death of Kandi's fiancé AJ, are the "Housewives" closer?
NENE: No, not really. Nobody has seen each other. I've talked to Sheree and Lisa and saw everyone at the funeral. We put our differences aside to be at the funeral so we could be there for Kandi because we aren't that bitter. As far as us being friends, we won't ever be friends. I've known Sheree the longest; I still talk to Lisa, but our relationships are what they are. Honestly, I think if we hadn't been on this we wouldn't be this bitter with one another, and it's definitely made it a lot worse.
ESSENCE.COM: Do you think you ever gave Kandi a fair chance?
NENE: I feel like i did. On my behalf, I didn't reach out to her when she first joined the cast to welcome her because that's just not me. I wasn't looking for anything; I figured like, if we get along we do and if we don't, it is what it is. The first time Kandi and I met was never shown on the show. We had a couples' night out where we went salsa dancing and had dinner with me and my husband, Lisa and Ed [Hartwell] and then Kandi and A.J. We had fun, but the viewers never got to see us having a good time.
ESSENCE.COM: Kim suggested that you were an instigator and believed that your absence at Kandi and A.J.'s engagement party ensured a drama-free evening. Do you consider yourself a trouble maker?
NENE: How crazy is it that they were in the same restaurant where Sheree pulled Kim's hair and now the two of you are throwing Kandi an engagement party? Secondly, Kim had a disagreement with me, Lisa, and Sheree but I'm the troublemaker? (Laughs.) Obviously, Kim had to have someone to latch on to because she'd already gotten into it with all of us, so of course she gets friendly with Kandi, who helped her out with the song.
ESSENCE.COM: Kim also shared the story with Kandi about you choking her. Is that true?
NENE: I'm not bitter and evil that I would go out and have violent attacks. Now, if you mess with me then you better back up, but leave me alone and I'm fine. I just realize that the only people I can truly count on are my family and friends who really know who I am. The viewers have been given the wrong perception of me. I'm still the fun-loving-tell-it-like-it-is woman I've always been.

Todd Porter grades Ohio State's performance, gives the top play, rates the Heisman Trophy race and names his top local contributor of Saturday's win over Wisconsin.
QB Braxton Miller returned, but was inconsistent during the first half. His third-quarter TD pass to Corey Brown was nice. But Miller missed some reads of WRs who were open, or breaking open, and he tucked the ball and ran. That's the difference between Miller and Kenny Guiton. Still hard to argue with nearly 400 yards of offense.
DEFENSE: C-minus
All-American CB Bradley Roby gave up a TD pass on third-and-6 in the first quarter. OSU had a blitz package in on the play. Giving up big plays to Wisconsin's only receiving threat, Jared Abbrederis, is shoddy pass coverage. The back end of the defense, supposedly the strength, was exploited. Abbrederis had a career-high 159 yards at halftime. OSU dialed up the pressure andtook some heat off the secondary during the second half.
Corey Brown's muffed punt that wasn't because of a penalty wasn't a smart play. It nearly opened the door for the Badgers to get back in the game. But little-used K Drew Basil drilled a 45-yard FG in the second quarter for a 17-7 lead. Punter Cameron Johnston had three punts inside the 20.
COACHING: B-minus
A conference win against a top-25 opponent was important. If Miller had not completed the TD pass just before halftime, what would Meyer have done with Guiton in the second half? Going for it on fourth-and-1 with a 24-14 lead was risky.
PLAY OF THE GAME: Miller to Brown on fourth down
Just before halftime — and right after missing a wide open Devin Smith on a poorly underthrown pass — QB Braxton Miller spotted Corey Brown wide open on fourth-and-7 from the Wisconsin 40. How the Badgers blew a coverage on the final play before halftime is mesmerizing. Up to that point, Miller was inconsistent at best and missed a couple of open receivers on bad reads. The pass to Brown was a bullet that gave the Buckeyes a 24-14 lead and the ball to start the second half.
1, Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon Coming off an off week, the Ducks played late Saturday night at home against Cal.
2, Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M A decent performance — 321 yards of total offense and two TD passes — in a road win over Arkansas.
3, Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson An efficient 17-of-24 passing for 311 yards with three TDs and no picks, and added 69 yards rushing and a TD run in rout of Wake Forest.
4, Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville The Cardinals did not play and return to action at Temple in a noon game Saturday.
5, Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State Three first-half TD passes against the Badgers — including one to end the half — showed that Miller didn't lose his big-play touch.
TOP LOCAL CONTRIBUTOR: Devin Smith, WR, Massillon
Smith caught a 26-yard TD pass to extend OSU's first-quarter lead to 14-7. It also was the 16th first-quarter TD in 21 possession for the Buckeyes this season. But in the first conference game of the season, and with his head coach wanting consistency, Smith also dropped a TD pass early in the third quarter.

As smartphones and tablets become more common in our everyday lives, some people have started to feel that their gadgets should be considered as a fashion accessory, so if you happen to be a fashion savvy tech enthusiast, you might be interested to learn that luxury fashion brand Prada has unveiled a new series of leather iPad sleeves that would not only provide your tablet with some form of protection, but would allow you to make a fashion statement as well.
The fashion brand has released two new iPad sleeves, one of which has been designed for men in mind while the other is meant for the ladies. The men's design will sport a skull and crossbones motif while the ladies version will feature hearts as part of its design. Both will be made from Saffiano calf leather with nappa leather lining, so animal rights activists out there, this probably isn't for you. The men's iPad sleeve will set you back a whopping $390, while the women's version will go for $310 and will be available in black, white and fuchsia.

This humidification problem is a common one experienced by many building owners around the country. To solve it you have to understand a little bit more about how de-humidification works.
How a dehumidifer works
The most common way we de-humidify air is by cooling the room air down to its dew point temperature where the moisture condenses out of the air before the air is returned back to the room.
A dehumidifier typically cools the air to remove the moisture and then heats the air back up again before it is returned back to the space so you don't super cool the room.
An essential component is usually missing
You need two things in order for an HVAC system to correctly dehumidify a space:
- An HVAC system that can cool the air to the dew point temperature without super cooling the building. This often requires some form of reheat in the equipment.
- A humidistat and controller that senses the humidity and then activates the HVAC to dehumidify the building
Unfortunately it is very common for buildings to be missing one of these essential components.
If an HVAC system is oversized or if it does not have some form of reheat then the system will shut down because it is over cooling the space. When the system shuts down it is no longer dehumidifying the space. This can often cause the system to short cycle or "hunt" for the correct climate setting.
The solution to this problem is to have an HVAC system that either has several stages of cooling, multiple compressors, or modulating compressors that will allow your system to adjust the capacity to the load experienced in the space.
On commercial projects the reheat is often done with a technology called hot gas bypass reheat. Residential grade equipment usually does not have this many options on it so your only option will probably be a stand alone dehumidifier.
Got a humidistat?
A lot of buildings only have a thermostat that senses the room temperature and will then only activate the HVAC system whenever the temperature is out of the acceptable range. As Lida describes it is possible for many days that the temperature in the room is okay but the humidity higher than desired.
In this case, unless you have a humidistat reading the humidity in the space that controls the dehumidifier then, you will not be able to effectively activate the required equipment.

ECB banking supervision and beyond
February 19 2015
- Report - ECB Banking Supervision and Beyond (Centre for European Policy Studies)
Karel Lannoo (Centre for European Policy Studies)
Tom Huertas (EY)
At the end of last year, the Centre for European Policy Studies (a Brussels-based think tank) published the report of a task force set up to look at, inter alia:
- the centralization of supervision within the Eurozone, under the Single Supervisory Mechanism;
- the problems that the ECB will encounter in operating the SSM;
- the remaining issues of resolution and deposit guarantee; and
- relations between the SSM and the European Systemic Risk Board.
The chairman of the task force was José María Roldán, the former chairman of the CEBS (the forerunner of the EBA). The rapporteur was Karel Lannoo, chief executive of CEPS (and a long-time friend of the CSFI), and among the members of the group was Tom Huertas, now a partner at EY but known to all of us from his time at the FSA. I am delighted that both Karel and Tom have agreed to come and walk us through the report – and, indeed, to explain just what the SSM is up to and where it is heading.

I am house/cat/fish sitting this week for one of my bosses. She's actually one of my favorite people at work, because she's, well, awesome. She used to walk around the office saying "I LOVE ME!" and kissing herself on the arm. We should all have such good self-esteem. By her own account, she didn't have an easy young life, but she put herself through school and worked extremely hard and now is in a pretty high position at my workplace. She also has a husband and kids and cats and fish all in a nice apartment on the Upper East Side. She only left me the cats and fish for the week. And some wine.
Things are going well so far. One of the cats gets medicine and takes it very easily, so that's good. The other cat is supposedly one of the scared-y variety, but spent yesterday evening hanging around me and getting attention.
The only thing is - the fish. There are a number of them; saltwater, and they are beautiful. I am one of those people who is calmed by watching fish, and these are really lovely. They are all blue and purple and pink and yellow. Gorgeous. Except for I think they are plotting against me.
Look, I don't know what their plans are, but I know they are up to something. You know when you walk into a room and people stop talking in hushed tones and look at you? You know they are talking about you, right? Well, imagine walking into an apartment and looking at the saltwater fish tank when you come in and all the fish disperse. You can practically hear them say, "Cheese it! The Fuzz!" And then they swim around looking all innocent. Yeah, right. I know what's going on. I'm going to wake up one morning with a fish head on the pillow next to me, aren't I?
It's all the doing of that little stripey red fish. He always hides when I walk by the tank, swimming into the little caves, going under the coral, but I can tell he's the ring leader. It's always the innocent looking ones that are really out to get you. I SEE YOU, RED FISHY. I AM HERE FOR FOUR MORE DAYS. DON'T MAKE ME HAVE A FISH FRY.

Play as Bob the snail in the game "Snail Bob" by clicking on different elements of each level to allow the snail character to reach the designated end point unharmed. Most levels include levers or switches for clearing obstacles or changing the environment, which require a mouse click to initiate.
At the start of the game, you have the option to watch an animated cutscene establishing the game's back story or skip the cutscene to move directly into the level select menu. The first time you play the game, you can only choose the first level, though the game does save your progress in the form of browser cookies. The first few levels feature simple puzzles and instructions on how to play the game. All of the actions in the game involve clicking on different aspects of the level, such as clicking on a lever to raise a barrier and allow Snail Bob to move forward.
You have no direct control over the motion of Snail Bob in the game, as he perpetually moved forward until he hits a solid surface. Once he hits a wall he changes direction and continues to move onward. Some levels require specific timing to get Snail Bob onto platforms or other areas in order to send him to a new part of the level and reach the end.

4/11/2013 -
Gov. Nathan Deal today announced that Georgias net tax collections for March totaled $1.17 billion for an increase of nearly $12.7 million, or 1.1 percent, compared to March 2012. With three quarters completed, net revenue collections totaled $12.3 billion for an increase of $607 million, or 5.2 percent, compared to the same point last year.While the states net revenues for March were not as strong as in recent months, this improvement marks the 11th consecutive quarter of net revenue improvement dating back to 2011, Deal said. The following sections summarize the net revenue changes within the major tax categories for March: Individual Income Tax: Individual Income Tax collections for March 2013 totaled $422.6 million up from $422.2 million in March 2012 for an increase of just $0.4 million, or 0.1 percent compared to last year.The following notable components within Individual Income Tax account for the slight increase: Individual Withholding payments increased $37.1 million, or 4.5 percent Individual Income Tax refunds (net of voided checks) were up $55.4 million, or 11.8 percent All other Income Tax categories, including Return payments, were up a combined $18.7 millionSales and Use Tax: Net Sales and Use Tax collections for March totaled $427.4 million, down from $428.3 million compared to last year, for a decrease of $0.9 million, or -0.2 percent. Gross sales tax collections were up $12.8 million, or 1.6 percent, over FY 2012. However, the combination of sales tax refunds, which were up almost $11.7 million compared to last year, and the sales tax distribution to local governments, which was $2 million higher in March 2013, offset the year-over-year improvement in gross collections relative to March 2012.Corporate Income Tax: Corporate Income Tax collections for March increased nearly $7.5 million, up 4.4 percent compared to last year when net collections totaled $167.5 million for the month. The following notable components within Corporate Income Tax make up the increase: Corporate Income Tax refunds (net of voided checks) were down $13.5 million, or -53.2 percent Corporate Estimated tax payments increased $4.5 million, or 6.6 percent All other Corporate Tax categories, including Return payments, were down a combined $10.5 million

Circulation Research Instructions for Authors
Instructions for Authors Section Menu
Circulation Research is an official journal of the American Heart Association and is the official journal of the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences of the American Heart Association. Circulation Research is published as a print and online journal with 24 issues per year.
First time submitting? Be sure to check out our new Submission Tips.
Editorial Scope
Circulation Research is a forum for fundamental, mechanistic research of relevance to the cardiovascular system from various disciplines including biochemistry, biophysics, cellular biology, molecular biology, genetics, pathology, physiology, and pharmacology. The journal publishes manuscripts of the highest quality pertaining to basic cardiac and vascular biology and encourages the submission of work that uses state-of-the-art approaches to illuminate mechanisms of human disease. A special welcome is extended to translational research and to clinical research that yields fundamental insights; studies in humans or human tissues that advance our understanding of the basis of disease and the mechanism of therapies are an area of particular emphasis.
Criteria for Publication in Circulation Research
The mission of Circulation Research is to publish new information that constitutes an important conceptual advance vis-à-vis existing knowledge. Accordingly, the main criteria for acceptance are conceptual novelty, importance, and soundness of methodology. Priority is given to work that provides substantial new mechanistic insights into cardiovascular biology and disease. The editors also take into account whether a manuscript is of interest to the broad readership of Circulation Research. Even when the methodology is valid, significant novelty and impact are asine qua non for acceptance. Thus, studies that are well designed, well presented, methodologically sound, flawlessly executed, even mechanistically focused, but have low potential impact (e.g., they address a narrow field or have limited implications) and/or little conceptual novelty (e.g., they are variations or extensions of previous ideas, or merely incremental advances vs. previous work) are generally not published. Similarly, manuscripts that are otherwise outstanding but lack breadth of appeal (i.e., they are of interest to a very narrow segment of the readership) are usually not published.
All Original Research articles are published Online First on the same day of acceptance. After Online First publication, articles will be prepared for print and online publication, which includes copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, and author review. This process may lead to differences between the accepted version of the manuscript and the final, published version. Visit the Online First page for more information.
Presubmission Inquiries
The editorial policy of Circulation Research is not to respond to pre-submission inquiries. The Editors of Circulation Research will not reply to emails from potential authors of Original Research inquiring if their manuscript or proposed manuscript topic is suitable for the journal. Authors should submit their manuscripts for formal peer review after following all of the guidelines listed in these Instructions to Authors.
Review Process
The review process at Circulation Research is rapid. An editorial decision is usually made in fewer than 21 days for Regular Articles and in 7 days for Brief UltraRapid Communications. The editors encourage authors to provide the names of at least five potential reviewers who have not been collaborators or coauthors within the last three years and have not provided advice or critique of the submitted manuscript. Authors may list up to a maximum of three reviewers they wish to exclude.
For 2016, the average time from submission to first decision for all original research papers submitted to Circulation Research was 14 days.
Manuscripts submitted to Circulation Research are examined by the editors, who usually recruit three expert reviewers. Papers are carefully evaluated in terms of novelty, importance, methodology, and broad interest to the readership (vide infra). When appropriate, articles are also subjected to statistical review. Decisions are communicated by email. The editors will not discuss a decision regarding a manuscript over the phone. All rebuttals must be submitted in writing to the editorial office.
Address all correspondence to the Circulation Research Editorial Office:

"The history of 3D gameplay in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has been rather trying. Up until the last three games (Yes, I said three; I'll make my point later), there has been a slew of buggy games that brought our hero to 3D. It has resulted in terms like "Sonic Cycle"—where we get hyped at the reveal, watch it drop as the game gets close, and riot when we finally play the game.
Here's an interesting stat: for every solid 3D game that Mario starred in, there have been two buggy 3D Sonic games to counter. Not necessarily bad or unlikable, but buggy and difficult to control."

I just created a demo for Guice, Google's popular dependency injection framework. The Guice Demo is a bit more complex and realistic than the samples in the Guice Wiki. The documentation discusses some general aspects of applying the Dependency Inversion Principle.
As an aftermath of this demo, I've also created Guicer, an alternative Domain Specific Language (DSL) for configuring
a Guice
Injector which is simpler and more concise than the original Guice DSL.
The documentation introduces you to the DSL.

- Enabling Plugins - Configure the plugin for your API - Verify that the plugin is properly configured - Next Steps
Enabling Plugins
- Make sure you've installed Kong - It should only take a minute!
- Make sure you've started Kong.
- Also, make sure you've added your API to Kong.
In this section, you'll learn how to configure plugins. One of the core principals of Kong is its extensibility through plugins. Plugins allow you to easily add new features to your API or make your API easier to manage.
As an example, we'll have you configure the key-auth plugin to add authentication to your API.
Configure the plugin for your API
Issue the following cURL request on the previously created API named
$ curl -i -X POST \ --url http://localhost:8001/apis/mockbin/plugins/ \ --data 'name=key-auth'
Note: This plugin also accepts a
config.key_namesparameter, which defaults to
[apikey]. It is a list of headers and parameters names (both are supported) that are supposed to contain the API key during a request.
Verify that the plugin is properly configured
Issue the following cURL request to verify that the key-auth plugin was properly configured on the API:
$ curl -i -X GET \ --url http://localhost:8000/ \ --header 'Host: mockbin.com'
Since you did not specify the required
apikeyheader or parameter, the response should be
403 Forbidden:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden ... { "message": "Your authentication credentials are invalid" }
Next Steps
Now that you've configured the key-auth plugin lets learn how to add consumers to your API so we can continue proxying requests through Kong.

Here are some recent comments from CSA Members –
"You guys are great, and your products are second to none!" – Steve J.
"Just picked up my first CSA box from Live Earth Farm, it is fabulous!!!! Everything is so fresh. There is a good variety of vegetables, not too many or little of anything. I munched on the radishes as I put things into my fridge. Thank you so much." – Elena L.
And about our new Choice Share –
"I've been meaning to write and tell you how much we love the new Choice share! I know it has to be much harder to coordinate because everyone is getting something different, but it's perfect for those of us who are control freaks. 🙂 I can max out on celeriac when it's in season, whereas someone else will be thrilled to have the turnips I don't adore. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER!!" – Leslie R.
"…it has been great getting to choose vegetables each week. My family has many food allergies and it will be especially handy during the main season!" – Karen S.
"I just picked up my first choice share and I am thrilled. Hooray! so glad you are doing this. I took the winter season off from LEF CSA, but was soon missing my LEF fresh veggies. Now I'm back and able to choose. So nice. I've never been fond of cilantro or radishes and mine frequently went to waste. No longer. Thank you for making the extra effort to make these choices possible. It's renewed my commitment to LEF." – Laurel P.
"I love the new choice box. It is fitting so much better with what I need." – Suzy W.

New Delhi, May 11 :
Delhi High Court has refused to set aside a trial court order of framing kidnapping charges against a man accused of abducting his minor lover from her legal guardians.
Justice Veena Birbal dismissed a plea by Wasif, who moved the high court challenging the kidnapping charges framed by the lower court against him under section 363 (kidnapping) of the Indian Penal Code Oct 5, 2013.
The high court in its recent order held that 24-year-old Wasif had taken away the 15-year-old girl from her lawful guardians without their consent and that amounts to kidnapping.
The girl in her statement to police had, however, said she went with the man of her own consent.
As per section 361 (kidnapping from lawful guardianship) of the IPC, if the girl is below the age of 18 years, police register a case of kidnapping against the man she elopes with.
The prosecution said Wasif kidnapped the girl March 27, 2013 with the intention to induce or compel her to marry him.
He took her from Delhi to Jaipur where they stayed for nine days. The two were later apprehended in Delhi.
Opposing the man's plea who challenged the kidnapping charges, police contended that it was Wasif who had taken the minor girl without the consent of her guardians there was no illegality in the trial court order.

Yeah I know.
The figures are Redoubt again and finish of the Archers I was painting. I should now have a suitable woodland Indian force for "En Garde" the rules by Osprey. So maybe we can start doing some new world adventures.
Colour wise these should fit in with the rest and while the two on the left look at first glance to be the same if you check their head attire they are clearly different. So I painted them about as different colour wise as I thought I could get away with.
I was going to put some VSF on today. (They are now finished) but as I get less post views on a weekend I thought they could wait until the middle of the week.
Thanks for Looking. And tomorrow at the club I will be trying "Mantic's The Walking dead -all out war!!" At least that s the plan. It may change you never know.
Another post on Monday all the best Clint

Everybody makes mistakes. Real friends can laugh together about their goofs, secure that they won't be put down as an incompetent person. I bake my own bread, because low carb bread isn't readily available.
I also enjoy making animated gifs to welcome new members to Atheist Nexus. Some of my attempts have been ... well...
This was supposed to be a waving flag effect.
Views: 445
Mistakes, goofs, being 'called out' for them......that hits home for me. I get a knot in my stomach every time I make a mistake in front of others. I try to hide them. Thanks to my dad's comments growing up, I always felt inadequate.
"Nice play, Ox. Whatya'do for an encore?"
"Does your face hurt?" No....."Cuz it's killing me!"
"You know how to get rid of 20 pounds of ugly fat?? Cut off your head!"
Remarks like this really stick with a kid.....even into adulthood. I was all about respecting and supporting others when I raised my boys. Thankfully, they have self esteem and weren't subjected to feeling inferior for making honest mistakes.
Great GIFS, Ruth! All I know about html and coding I learned (and quickly forgot) during a computer tech class I had to take for my Master's Degree.
I love making bread, but do it the lazy way....with a bread maker!
Now that I'm done with my Master's and job hunting, I'm cleaning the house top to bottom and getting back to crocheting, which I taught myself how to do 2 years ago :)
Maybe we should start a separate bread making discussion. Anyway, I need bread that's much lower in carbs than what's sold as so called low carb bread. There used to be a Keto bread mix, but the company went out of business. I use 3 cups gluten flour, 3/4 cup soy flour, and 1/4 c either flax meal or hemp protein. The last ingredient has fiber, otherwise it comes out like rubber. The ingredients are expensive compared to regular flours.

Sabotage-proof chip checks against Trojan infection
A chip that constantly verifies whether its calculations are being hampered by a Trojan or other malware is being developed by American researchers.
The device, designed by a team from the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, contains a separate module to carry out the calculations and another that verifies the results of the first.
The system aims to prevent infections that happen during production. Such infected chips, when inserted into healthcare devices or used in infrastructure, financial or military electronics, could pose a serious risk.
The team says that due to the complexity of the supply chain, various people can manipulate chips at various stages from production to delivery.
"Under the current system, I can get a chip back from a foundry with an embedded Trojan," explained Siddharth Garg, who leads the project. "It might not show up during post-fabrication testing, so I'll send it to the customer. But two years down the line it could begin misbehaving."
For example, a secretly inserted 'back door' function could allow attackers to alter or take over a device or system at a specific time.
The researchers have therefore introduced a separate verification unit, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which could be manufactured separately from the primary chip.
"Employing an external verification unit made by a trusted fabricator means that I can go to an untrusted foundry to produce a chip that has not only the circuitry-performing computations, but also a module that presents proofs of correctness," said Garg.
"The nice thing about our solution is that I don't have to trust the chip because every time I give it a new input, it produces the output and the proofs of correctness, and the external module lets me continuously validate those proofs."
Garg calls his approach verifiable computing. He says the approach has multiple advantages. Apart from the protection against Trojan infection, it also enables companies to produce their own verification ASICs, as these can be up to several orders of magnitude slower and simpler than the primary chips.
The researchers next plan to investigate techniques to reduce both the overhead that generating and verifying proofs imposes on a system and the bandwidth required between the prover and verifier chips. "And because with hardware, the proof is always in the pudding, we plan to prototype our ideas with real silicon chips," said Garg.

Criticizing federal veterans cuts at Remembrance Day ceremony costs legion chaplain her job
KENORA, Ont. — The Royal Canadian Legion branch in Kenora, Ont., has accepted its chaplain's resignation after she criticized federal government cuts to veterans services during local Remembrance Day ceremonies.
In her message to the gathering on Nov. 11, Rev. Sandra Tankard criticized the federal government for cutting funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs, resulting in the closure of service centres across the country.
Tankard said her support and vote would go to the political candidate and party that reinstates funding for Canada's veterans.
Kenora Conservative MP Greg Rickford was at the ceremony to lay a wreath at the cenotaph as a representative of the government of Canada.
Immediately following the service, Legion Branch 12 president Jerry Lava requested Tankard submit a letter of apology to those offended and specifically to Rickford.
"It's caused a major upheaval among legion members who felt the comments were inappropriate for a Remembrance Day service," Lava said at the time. "Some people agree with what she said, but the Remembrance Day service isn't the time or place to do it, not within the context of scripture and topic."
Tankard complied with the request and apologized, saying it wasn't her intention to embarrass the legion or its members, but to raise awareness of issues affecting Canadian veterans of overseas conflicts.
She also offered her resignation and at a meeting Monday evening, legion members voted to accept it, Lava confirmed.
In an interview on Tuesday, Tankard said she was "disappointed, but a vote is a vote."
Tankard has said she believes Canada should be doing more for its veterans, especially those returning home from active duty in Afghanistan suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the high incidence of suicide among military personnel since 2004.
