What made it so incredulous was the sense that many in the markets were expecting the status quo to prevail, right up to the start of the vote counting. You may say that the markets were complacent and positioning for 'Remain'.
Now that the referendum is done, what's next for traders? It must be stressed that the UK is not technically out of the EU yet. Until Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is invoked, whatever discussion is more political than economic. The UK still needs to sort out the mess, with PM Cameron to resign in October. Major credit agencies cut the credit ratings of UK over worries of a less predictable and stable policy framework.
Needless to say, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the markets. This means global capital flows until then will be based on expectations of what is the path ahead. Investors will be making decisions on what they anticipate, instead of on what has happened.
In addition, as we head into the summer months, the traditional period of low liquidity and high volatility will likely amplify movements in the markets. The implications of the Brexit outcome will lead to less risk taking. Sidelines appeared to be an attractive place to be at.
Sterling pound looks vulnerable
But the post-Brexit reality magnifies certain trends, which is worth a look. A key risk is the possible removal of the sterling pound as a reserve currency, given the uncertain prospects for the UK economy.
Even if this does not develop, it is not illogical for the GBP to fall further. Growth in the UK is feeble, and talks that the Bank of England (BoE) could add a fresh round of asset purchases certainly did the pound no favour. However, the BoE said in a post on its website that they cannot (and should not) stand in the way of necessary adjustments in financial markets, suggesting that it will take a lot more damage before the central bank will act.
Will the central banks respond?
At the moment, central banks seemed to be in a contemplative mood. The reason for this is that it is still not clear whether the Brexit vote represents a temporary shock to the financial markets or something more permanent. Deciding which is which is critical, as the prescribed solution depends entirely on this assessment. If it is perceived to be the latter, the clear response is likely to be a coordinated central bank action, where the first order of business is to ensure liquidity is ample through swap lines and easing policies.
Will USD and JPY march higher?
The US dollar gained the most since 2008 on 24 June after the Brexit vote. If the greenback continues to strengthen despite lower prospects of US rate hike, we could see a risk to emerging economies holding significant USD liabilities. A redux of the concerns in early this year, if you will.
On the charts, we might be seeing the formation of a triple bottom in the US dollar index. If so, we could see a more aggressive move higher in the USD in the coming sessions. However, we need to be aware that the Fed is not overly fond of a strong USD because it disrupts their goal of higher inflation.
The Japanese yen remains strong, as risk aversion favours safe haven demand and narrowing yield spreads. While the consensus is for the Bank of Japan to announce additional easing at the 29 July meeting, the JPY uptrend may remain relatively intact as long as risk appetite stays muted. However, what may hold back further yen strength is the fear of unilateral intervention in the FX markets in the near term. In the longer term, more fiscal support and a QQE expansion should restrain the yen.
Banks and energy eye Brexit fallout
We already seen how the Brexit vote roiled the banking sector and energy prices. HSBC and Standard Chartered continued to head south, chalking up around 10% of losses between 24 and 28 June. The MSCI Singapore Financials index fell 2.3% on Brexit day. Likewise, the S&P 500 Financials Sector fell a combined 8% in two straight sessions. Oil prices retreated further from $50. Further declines would put considerable strain on oil companies, some who were counting on the oil rally to restart or increase production.

The PCA8561 is a highly integrated, ultra low power, automotive qualified LCD segment driver housed in the tiny HVQFN32 package, ideal for use with low resolution displays up to 72 icons in multiplex drive mode 1:4 and where the PCB area and the power consumption are major concerns.
The PCA8561 is available in two versions: the AHN version has a 2-line I2C interface that operates at up to 400kHz, and the BHN version has a 3-line SPI interface that operates at 3MHz. The PCA8561 is the ideal solution in many automotive applications since it allows solving many challenges in a simple and cost effective manner, which otherwise would require more complicated solutions.
Reduce the PCB Area in a Car Climate Control Unit
The PCB design of the car automatic climate control unit faces the challenge to include more components and functionality like multiple temperature sensors, multiple driving circuitry for more precise and efficient control of the heating and cooling systems, multiple displays, more powerful microcontrollers, etc. and, at the same time, to be smaller for more cabin space and greater design flexibility.
With reference to the LCD driving circuitry, it is preferable to have a standalone LCD driver mounted close to the display rather than having the LCD driver integrated in the MCU, which requires many connections from the MCU to the display. Note that the display is typically mounted in the periphery of the PCB and the MCU is instead mounted in a central position due to the multiple connections of all other devices. The PCB area taken by the LCD driver is typically a minor part of the total area taken by the LCD connections.
Similarly, in the case where a single LCD driver is used to drive multiple displays, many connections are required from the LCD driver to at least one of the displays. Figure 1 shows one NXP LCD driver in a TSSOP56 package mounted on the PCB of a car climate control unit to drive the two displays integrated in the two knobs. The driver is mounted close to one knob so the connections to the closer display are very short; but the connections to the remote display are very long and take a lot of PCB area.
The PCA8561 in the tiny HVQFN32 package (5 x 5mm) can be mounted close to each knob where the display is integrated; in this case two drivers are used but the LCD connections are minimized and only the power supplies and the interface lines must be routed from the MCU to the display drivers, thus simplifying the PCB design and saving much PCB area.
Furthermore, some car climate control units implement very small PCBs in each knob in addition to the main PCB where the MCU is mounted. The PCA8561 fits in the very small PCB integrated in the knob, while the TSSOP package doesn't, or would require a bigger PCB and then a bigger knob, constraining the cockpit design.
Sustain High Operating Temperatures in a Car Climate Control Unit
The increasing complexity of the automatic climate control in automobiles combined with the requirement of smaller size for greater flexibility in cabin styling and roominess, have caused problems of excessive heat in the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) modules. Some manufacturers have compromised the module size to allow more airflow; some others have compromised the performance by reducing the electronics in the module. Further, some car OEMs have started to specify the operating temperature of the HVAC module to be +95°C instead of +85°C.
The PCA8561 is the ideal solution is such demanding applications. It is AEC-Q100 compliant and covers the operating temperature range from -40°C up to +105°C. Contrary to many LCD segment drivers in the market, the PCA8561 exceeds customer expectations and allows the climate control unit to withstand possible excessive heat.
Drive a Small Passive Display in a Car Instrument Cluster Equipped with TFT Display
The high-end instrument clusters in vehicles integrate typically a TFT display between the analog gauge clusters. Further, some car OEMs have started to also request some small customized passive displays integrated inside the analog clusters to display additional technical information.
The microcontrollers tailored for dashboard applications have evolved to include more features, such as higher CPU performance, increased memory size, TFT display control unit, 3D graphic engine, etc., but, as a consequence, do not include anymore the passive LCD driving circuitry. A dedicated standalone LCD driver is then required to drive the additional small resolution displays inside the clusters.
The PCA8561 is the ideal solution for this application due to the small footprint, which allows mounting the driver close to display, the high reliability (AEC-Q100 grade 2 compliant) and the low cost.
High Immunity to EMI
The increased complexity and electronics in many applications have led to increased electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues and requires components with higher immunity.
When the display is exposed to electrostatic discharge or transients from switching electrical motors, it may start to flicker, freeze or go off totally, strongly affecting the human machine interface (HMI).
The PCA8561 is ruggedized against EMI and helps enhance the EMC of the application module for the following reasons:
- Instead of driving the display from the MCU, the PCA8561, thanks to its tiny package, can be mounted close to the display, thus avoiding multiple sensitive connections from the MCU to the display and simplifying the PCB design.
- It offers the possibility to switch off the Power-On-Reset (POR) circuitry through the Power-On-Reset Enable (PORE) pin. EMI could, in fact, trigger the POR circuitry of the display driver, which puts the chip in reset and switches off the display. If the system is subject to EMI, it is recommended to switch off the POR functionality.
- It specifies ultra low power current consumption; a BOOST function is implemented to increase the driving capability of the display signals in case of bigger display loads.
- It offers the possibility to check if a severe EMI event has occurred, by simply checking its response by reading the internal registers.
- It offers the software reset command and the hardware reset pin; if an EMI failure is detected, the MCU can easily reset the display driver and enable again the display, thus avoiding any stuck condition.
Easy Visual Inspection
In a standard HVQFN package, the sides of the terminals consist of bare Cu, which may not be wetted during reflow soldering. Non-wetting failures are difficult to detect in HVQFN packages.
The PCA8561 is assembled in a HVQFN32 package with wettable flanks (see Figure 2) and that makes visual inspection easier and more cost effective. The exposed edge of each terminal contains a small plated cavity, ensuring the solder flows into it and adheres to the side of the terminal. Non-wetting of the sides can be detected easily during the normal optical inspection.
The PCA8561 solves all the most common challenges in automotive applications, making it the ideal display driver for low resolution segmented LCDs.

Unbelievably Painful-Looking Body Piercings
These forehead piercings look like they were installed with a nail gun. How do you sleep in those things
It takes a special someone to conceive of a piercing that's just as painful for themselves as it must be for their friends
Before seeing this row of painful piercings we didn't even know that "lime tree trapped in a man's body was a thing. And apparently this is the surgery you get for it
Pedal On
Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is a bicycle pierced through that guy's face. I don't know whether to start with "how" or "why
Don't Touch Me
? Did you know that your fingertips are some of the most sensitive nerve-dense parts of your body
It's hard to look at this without activating your gag reflex. We bet that piercer has seen more than one plate of cookies tossed
Eye, Eye, Eye
If a particle of dust in your eye can make you blink and weep like a nutter what must an eyelid piercing feel like...every time you blink
We don't know exactly how you get those piercings in but we bet it involves a general anesthetic
These piercings aren't what look terribly painful. It's that cold, dry, burning sinus sensation this guy's got to feel with every breath
Did you know that the tongue consists of eight muscles that are all very strong for their size? Did you also know that the tongue feels pain? Horrible lisping pain
... So Many
When we were kids we used to count bottles of beer on the wall when we were bored. If counting piercings is the new version of that we're going to go find something to do
Which one of these painful-looking piercings do you think hurt the most? My bet is on all of them -- every single one
I Can't Understand You
I didn't even know you could pierce that. By the way, that little strip of skin is called the frenulum linguae and it's extra hard to pronounce when you put a metal spike through it

2009 Ford Flex Limited: Road Trip Part III, The midwest
October 02, 2008
When we last left our road trip diary the Ford Flex was whisking us through eastern Colorado and on into Nebraska. Thrilling, I know. With 75 mph limits, straight roads and just enough traffic to avoid being the only car on the road, this was the Flex's time to shine. And shine it did. I turned on my Valentine One, set the cruise control and drove for hours in perfect comfort. Once acclimated to the system, Sync works exceptionally well with an iPod. Sirius' weather link kept me apprised of the looming thunderstorms (which eventually halted my run), and the flat-looking seats kept my butt supported and warm with no complaints. I also managed to, at those speeds, beat the EPA estimated 24mpg with a 25.7mpg tank.
That night I tried, for the first time, sleeping in the Flex. I was hoping the back, seats folded flat, would make an acceptable bed. They don't. It's like sleeping on the floor of a dog's kennel. The front seats don't recline enough for sleeping either. The second row bench is interrupted by the refrigerator so that's out, too. I had an easier time sleeping in our old Lancer than I did in the Flex. That was the last night we tried that. For a detailed account of the rest of that day-- including Iowa-- please see my illustration below. <
But hey, I got to go to the world's largest truck stop! The truck stop dentist wasn't in my plan.
That'll show all those other truck stops without embroidery shops!
Nothing worse than a road trip with a dirty dog.

45 CFR 16.16 - Parties to the appeal.
(a) The only parties to the appeal are the appellant and the respondent. If the Board determines that a third person is a real party in interest (for example, where the major impact of an audit disallowance would be on the grantee's contractor, not on the grantee), the Board may allow the third person to present the case on appeal for the appellant or to appear with a party in the case, after consultation with the parties and if the appellant does not object.
(b) The Board may also allow other participation, in the manner and by the deadlines established by the Board, where the Board decides that the intervenor has a clearly identifiable and substantial interest in the outcome of the dispute, that participation would sharpen issues or otherwise be helpful in resolution of the dispute, and that participation would not result in substantial delay.

Make the Switch to Whole Wheat
We've all known that whole wheat bread is healthier than white bread, but have you actually made the switch? These days, places like Potbelly's, Panera and Go Roma are smartening up to the benefits of whole wheat and offering whole wheat bread on sandwiches, whole wheat baguettes as sides, and whole wheat crust for pizza (respectively). And the list doesn't stop there. Anything that's made with flour can be made with whole wheat: pastas, cookies, muffins, you name it. So when you have the choice, do you choose whole wheat?
Fortunately in this day in age, the choice is popping up everywhere, not just in the restaurants I've mentioned above but in grocery stores too. Now you can buy whole wheat pastas like Barilla Whole Wheat or Ronzoni Healthy Harvest to replace your pasta made with all white or semolina flour.
The benefits of consuming whole wheat grains versus processed grains are innumerable. Whole wheat grains are unprocessed while grains that make up white flours only make up 60 percent of the original grain. Why does it matter? Because the 40 percent that's taken out of the equation is the healthiest part of the grain. Whole wheat grains are made up of three parts: the endosperm, the bran and the germ. The most nutritious parts are the bran and germ, both of which are removed from white flour (leaving only the endosperm). While the endosperm provides energy with carbohydrates and protein, the bran contains fiber, vitamin B and minerals that we might not get from other parts of our diets. Along the same lines, the germ contains antioxidants and other vitamins for more nourishment. It's not a health trend, it's a well known fact. So just think, choosing white bread over whole wheat bread is choosing less nutrition.
And at least for me, whole wheat grains have more flavor. Whether in bread or pasta, whole grains have more of a nutty earthiness about them that I think enhances the meal. But they're also subtle enough to not sacrifice the flavor of the breads or pastas we may have been accustomed to over the years.
So the next time you're asked the question "white or whole wheat"? Make the healthy choice. For such little sacrifice and so much to be gained, why not make the switch to whole wheat?
You can always make your own whole wheat recipes at home too.

I haven't posted anything in a while, and I apologize. The main reason, honestly, is because I haven't really made progress lately. I finally made some progress today, and am going to share ANOTHER screenshot. This progress also has some bugs, although one of them is just because I'm lacking art assets. I hope you enjoy this little spoiler, and note, that this is all just temporary for the development, and will be much more pretty and fleshed out later! One of the bugs as fixed as soon as I took the screenshot and thus noticed it (current hp going over max hp). That was due to my calculation for my regen being "If current hp + 10 is less than or equal to max hp, then add 1/10 of max hp to current hp" I forgot to change the +10 when I changed it to one tenth.
To sum up the changes: I have revamped the inventory system to be prettier, and more scalable. I know you can't really tell from the screenshot, but it will be!

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- The NFL has decided to relocate an upcoming game between the Saints and New York Giants from New Orleans to Giants Stadium in E. Rutherford, N.J.
The Sept. 18 game was originally scheduled for the New Orleans Superdome. It was moved because of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina this week.
"There are many reasons for this decision, including recognizing that the overwhelming priority for public and private resources in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region in the weeks ahead must be the essential needs of the public and the restoration of the area's infrastructure," said Commissioner Paul Tagliabue in a statement on the league's Web site, NFL.com.
"We think the league's decision to move our game with the Saints to Giants Stadium will allow us an even greater opportunity to contribute (to the relief effort)," said Giants CEO John Mara.
The league has pledged $1 million to the relief effort, and veteran Baltimore defensive back Deion Sanders asked that each NFL player donate $1,000.

text: I'm not sure if this belongs in B/S/T...if so Mods please move/remove it. I met someone here on BHW that has been working for me over the past month, and really helped me a lot. He is a pretty sharp guy, but inexperienced in IM. I hire him to do things like mass email replies (sends manually from webmail accts...inboxes great and IMO more reliable than an autoresponder) he has done work for me creating/forwarding email accts (when I didnt' know how to do it with CLAD), and now is doing some market research for me in my niche. There are probably many more things he can do well. The reason I'm not listing his BHW name is because several people have already approached him with horrible deals. Way too much work for not enough $$$. Here are samples of what I paid him- $10 per 250 email replies (sometimes with extra $5 bonus) $15 for basic market research I pay him immediately once the job is done, via paypal. I'm sure there is someone out there who will do this work for less. But they will also likely turn around and sell out my niche to the first person who pays the $20 for it. I trust my guy, and thats why I send him work (and money). Anyways PM me with what work you need done, and what you are willing to pay. If reasonable, I will connect the two of you. I would also request that whatever work you would like to have him carry out, you pay him up front for it the first time you are using him. I vouch for his work, he will do a great job, but I refuse to have someone con him (and me) by making him do a bunch of work and then running out on the bill. So you pay up front the first time. This post is basically a favor to him, to send him a little more business. He's very good, works very fast, and asks if something isn't right or doesn't make sense. Hopefully this relationship will put more $$$ in his pocket, and free up time and/or boost productivity for some fellow BHW'ers. /plug

"I have said time and time again I want people to have the ability to vote on assault weapons, mental health, safety in schools, federal trafficking, clips — everything," Reid told reporters this afternoon. "But I cannot do that until I get a bill on the floor."
Reid explained that he'll need to find a bill to bring to the Senate floor that has at least 60 votes of support — enough to bypass a Republican filibuster and start debate. Once debate has started on that bill, the Senate can vote on amendments, such as the assault weapons ban authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Feinstein's legislation passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, but Reid explained today that it wouldn't clear the filibuster hurdle.

Ceremony to formally inaugurate Sidney Shoham Place set for Sunday morning, September 25
The City of Côte Saint-Luc will formally rename a section of Hudson Avenue to Place Sidney Shoham Place at a ceremony on Sunday, September 25 at 10am.
Beth Zion Congregation will host a small reception afterwards, which the entire community is invited to attend. In the event of rain, the ceremony will be held indoors, followed by the unveiling of the street sign.
Rabbi Sidney Shoham passed away on September 21, 2015, at the age of 86. He retired 10 years earlier as the founding rabbi of Beth Zion after having served in that role for 50-plus years. Rabbi Shoham continued to remain very active in synagogue life and in fact, passed away only hours after attending the synagogue's annual Cantorial Concert, of which he was most involved.
Beth Zion president Earl Rosen said that it would be most fitting to rename the portion of Hudson Avenue, and the synagogue address 5740 Hudson Avenue, to 1 Place Sidney Shoham Place. He extended his appreciation to Mayor Mitchell Brownstein and Councillors Mike Cohen and Allan J. Levine for their assistance. Councillor Cohen is responsible for naming rights; Councillor Levine represents the district. At the ceremony, the new street sign will be unveiled and there will be words of welcome from Mr. Rosen, Mayor Brownstein, Rabbi Boruch Perton and a member of the Shoham family.
On Tuesday, September 27, Beth Zion will host Scholar in Residence Rabbi Benjamin Blech at the Rabbi Sidney Shoham Memorial Lecture and then, on Thursday, October 6, the newly renamed Rabbi Sidney Shoham Tribute Concert called "The Gift of Music" will take place.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland the son of the late Rabbi Yechiel and Rebbetzen Ethel Shoham, Rabbi Shoham attended the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore and then went to Mesivta Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin in Brooklyn, New York. While studying at the yeshiva, Rabbi Shoham attended Brooklyn College at night and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in psychology. Later, he attended graduate school at New York University, School of Psychology and continued his studies in Montreal at the Allen Memorial Hospital – McGill University where he furthered his degree in Pastoral Psychiatry.
Rabbi Shoham arrived in Montreal in 1955 to visit his brother Gilbert, who was Rabbi of the Beit Hamidrash Hagadol Synagogue on McKenzie. While here, he met with an enthusiastic group of individuals anxiously waiting to build a new community in the western suburb of Montreal. After discussions with the committee, he was quickly hired as the Rabbi of Beth Zion. Over the years, he had been active with nearly every Jewish organization in the city, notably Combined Jewish Appeal, B'nai Brith and State of Israel Bonds and the founder of the much needed Miriam Home.

Israeli Military Kills Palestinian Woman Near Gaza Border
Not clear why 50-year-old who suffered from mental illness was near border fence, Gaza residents say.
The Israel Defense Forces shot and killed a Palestinian woman in the Gaza Strip in an area near the border that Israel has declared a no-go zone for Palestinians, local hospital officials said yesterday.
Gaza residents said it was not clear why 50-year-old Amna Qdaih, who they said suffered from a mental illness, was near the security fence that runs between Israel and Gaza.
Asked about the report, an IDF spokeswoman said soldiers identified a number of suspects in the area late on Friday and called on them to back away. After they did not, the soldiers fired at their legs and one was hit, she said.
Qdaih's body was found and transferred to a hospital early yesterday.
A family member said that due to her mental and health problems, she got lost while making her way home from a wedding, and apparently hadn't realized she was so close to the fence before IDF troops opened fire.
Israel and the Islamist group Hamas, which rules Gaza, agreed in 2012 to a ceasefire after an eight-day war. The border has remained relatively quiet since the truce, though violence flares occasionally.
On Friday the IDF said one of its aircraft had struck a site in Gaza used to launch rockets into Israel. No casualties were reported in that incident.
This comes amid a string of incidents in the West Bank and the Jerusalem area over the weekend. On Friday, Palestinian protesters faced off against Israeli security forces near Ras al-Amud, and photos showed a policeman pointing a gun at photographers from short range. The police stated in response that officers took out their weapons in order to deter stone throwers, not photographers.
Also Friday, Matez Wasaha was buried in Bir Zeit after being killed in his home during an operation to arrest him in Bir Zeit last week. Wasaha's family said he was shot at close range.

text: Hi I'm Becky Sosa with Stress Free Events and I'd like to talk to about decorating church pews for weddings. There are lots of things to consider when decorating your church pews. The biggest thing is how much do you want to spend and what is the look of your wedding. You want to decorate the pews to capture your guest's attention but they also need to capture the feel of the event. Another thing to consider when you are decorating the church pews is the ease of your guests. You do not want to have a large arrangement on the side of the pew that the guests are going to have to maneuver around or that is going to cut off the walk way in any way. This is something that you need to consider in smaller churches or chapels. As far as the decorations themselves check with your church and make sure on the ways that they will allow you to use decorations in the church. Make sure that you can attach with ribbon or tape your decorations. That's one of the things that you will want to consider. You may want to use cones and put petals in them and keep it simple or you may want to use something like a galvanized tin and put the floral arrangement in it. These are just some things to consider when decorating church pews for weddings.

Barasat: Describing BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as "dangerous", former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Saturday said the power would go in the hands of industrialists if he took charge of the top post.
"Narendra Modi is dangerous. If he becomes prime minister then the power will directly go in the hands of the owners of industries and factories," he told an election rally at Panihati in Dum Dum Lok Sabha constituency.
He said an alternative government without Congress and BJP could be formed at the Centre.
"The government of an alternative front without Congress and BJP could be formed at the Centre. Because, the total number of votes garnered by the opposition parties is always more than the combined votes of Congress and BJP," he said.
The alternative front government could be formed once the opposition votes were combined, he said, urging people to vote for Left Front candidate Asim Dasgupta.
According to him, the number of unemployed people in the country has gone up in the last ten years and the poor people have become poorer during this period.

Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing explain what eating disorders are and when you should get professional help - click here.
Eating disorders affect millions of people every year.
They happen to people across all socioeconomic levels, all ages, to both genders, and they can vary in intensity and duration. Fundamental to all eating disorders is the presence of unhealthy eating habits that are disruptive to a person's health.
Eating disorders take over peoples' lives and become central to how they define themselves. They're often difficult to detect since they start with small changes that become large problems, and they are usually well hidden – particularly when they start. The chief reason that eating disorders begin and flourish is heavy doses of denial. They come out of nowhere and can become very serious, very quickly.
From my clinical practice, I've learned that patients develop their eating issues for a variety of reasons including the following:
Trauma Disorders:
Eating disorders can be triggered by a trauma like the loss of a loved one, the loss of a stable life style (like the divorce of parents or the loss of income), or an event or series of events that threatened their safety or even their lives.
The psychological need to be perfect can be overwhelming. These individuals are excessively dependent on the opinions and the approval of others. In their own minds, they are only as good as their last success.
In Control:
Some people have a relentless need to be admired and an entitlement to being the center of attention. Controlling their weight is a method of controlling others.
Affective Disorder:
In some cases, affective disorders like depression and anxiety are the basis of the eating disorder. An underlying depression can cause abnormalities in many areas of life including eating and self-regulation.
Family System:
Certain families emphasize performance and weight can become a central focus, especially in females. Issues of adequacy emerge and the eating disorder becomes a defining way to control anxiety.
Eating disorders are very serious conditions, and they can even be lethal. If you think you or someone you know may have an eating disorder, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

Good morning, dear pupils! Please settle down, take your seats. Today's class will be another exciting lesson in our infinite series of teachable moments. Hush now, stop the giggling. This is important, and we're never going to graduate until we master the basics of how to read and write. We will begin with a nice little fairy tale that I'd like you to read aloud:
"Old Man Sherrod and his wife had a farm. It was a black farm because they were black farmers (not that any God-fearing person can actually see color, but the Sherrods were always making a terrible fuss about how being black was just so gosh-darned awful). The Sherrods beat their cows and mistook nonblack farmers for pigs and plowed their fields with salt. Plus, they were socialists. When a kindly banker wrestled the poor farm away from the Sherrods' greedy proprietary grip, the black-hearted thug-king of the realm threw the kindly banker into the dungeon, knighted Farmer Sherrod (now to be addressed as 'Sir,' no less!) and welcomed Farmer Sherrod's wife into his court as chief counselor on how to grow turnips."
So, dear class, here is your assignment. Take out your crayons and draw a picture of each one of the characters in the story. What do they look like? How much of what you have drawn comes from the actual words of the story? How much of your picture comes from your imagination? Use a green crayon to circle the parts of your picture that come from the actual words. Use a flesh-colored crayon to circle the parts that come from your imagination. Now here's the hard part: try to think of the pathways in your head that took you from the actual words to the imaginary parts. Give each of those pathways a name.
OK, now stand up, arms to the sky, then touch your toes and let's move on to the next exercise. Now that you've read a story, it's your turn to craft one of your own. This time, I want you to rewrite the tale you just read, only from Farmer and Mrs. Sherrod's point of view. Ready? Set? Go!
Time's up. So, was that harder than just reading the first story as given? Could you write about the Sherrods as heroes of your story using the words in the original story? Was the first story hard to get out of your head? Draw your story. Is the picture entirely imaginary? Is it as easy to draw pathways from the actual words of the original story to the images in your story?
OK, time to frame your pictures. First, let's think about perspective and ask ourselves how they should be hung on the wall. Is there a relationship between the first picture and the second? Should they be hung in the order that we worked on them? If I'd asked you to write your heroic farm story first, before we read the one I gave you, what might you have written? Does it matter that you were told the Sherrods were villains first? Does the sequence of the stories affect our perceptions of their meaning?

'The Witch of Ridley Park' trial to be re-enacted at LV Museum
Friday, October 6, 2017 [1] by The Press [2] in Focus [3]
Pennsylvania's Infamous Witch Trial, known as "The Witch of Ridley Creek," will be presented in a re-creation, 1 p.m. Oct. 14, Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum Saturday, 432 W. Walnut St., Allentown.
"Witchcraft accusations are infamous history, mass hysteria, and the crucible of darkness," said Joseph Garrera, Executive Director of the museum.
The trial of Pennsylvania's Margaret Matson, called "The Witch of Ridley Creek," took place eight years prior to the Salem Witch Trials. The trial was presided over by Pennsylvania Proprietor William Penn.
Based on official transcripts, historical facts, and traditions from the actual trial that convened in Philadelphia, museum officials will re-create a courtroom scene similar to those of the 1680s.
Museum officials say they want the public to experience facts that are more frightening than fiction. The emotions and circumstances surrounding witch trials still haunt American popular culture and political discourse, according to museum officials.
Will Margaret Matson defend herself against the accusations of her neighbors? Will her fate foreshadow the justice gone awry years later in Salem? Or will the trial end differently?
"This event is based on true testimony and real facts as they occurred more than 300 years ago," said Garrera. "We want to give the public a sense of reality, to experience a witch trial first-hand."

Knowing how to take s*xual advantage of rainy days can be what your relationship need to get steamier.
A lot of us must have come across that expression before – 'Weather for two' – usually used on rainy days to imply a weather which is perfect for s*x. It does sound like the best idea, but do you know exactly why?Here are three great perks of s*x on those cool, rainy days:
(1) Keeps You Warm:Now, this is an obvious one. Having your body intertwined with another in lustful passion can do a lot to heat you up on those cold days.

Vesper Mic Drops Under Water
Piezoelectric MEMS Are Immune to Dust and Liquids
By Mike Demler
Vesper Technologies, a 17-person Boston-based startup, is the first to bring piezoelectric techniques to the MEMS-microphone market. It's offering an alternative to capacitive MEMS microphones, which are currently the norm in smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics. To waterproof capacitive MEMS, however, manufacturers must incur the further expense of adding a separate protective layer. But this layer muffles the incoming sound, so designers must compensate by increasing the gain (and power) in the signal-processing chain.
Piezoelectric MEMS are natively immune to impairment from dust and liquids, and they can also function as hydrophones. Vesper guarantees its devices will continue to work after up to seven days immersed in tap water, or even salty or soapy water. The company has its roots at the University of Michigan, where Robert Littrell (now Vesper's CTO) developed the unique piezoelectric acoustic-sensor technology as part of his doctoral thesis. He worked with Professor Karl Grosh on this effort. CEO Matt Crowley previously founded and handled business development for Sand 9, another piezoelectric startup, after several years on staff at Boston University.
Initial funding for Littrell's research came from NASA, which was looking for a waterproof microphone. The piezoelectric technology attracted investments from microphone manufacturers AAC Technologies and XinGang Electronics, which are also commercializing the devices. Together with angel and VC funding, Vesper has garnered a total of $10 million in early-stage investments. To expand its market beyond mobile devices, it plans to establish a U.S. distributor network.
The company's business model is to sell its products in wafer form to microphone manufacturers, which assemble the components into packages for delivery to customers. Knowles is currently the largest MEMS-microphone supplier, followed by AAC Technologies, Goertek, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, and several Chinese and Korean companies (see MCR 12/21/15, "Smartphones Gain Microphone IQ").
According to market-research firm IHS, approximately 3.6 billion MEMS microphones shipped last year, and the market is on track to hit 6 billion in 2019. Smartphones constitute the largest application segment, but the microphones appear in other consumer electronics such as noise-canceling headphones as well as voice-enabled IoT and consumer devices. Since beginning production in June, Vesper has already shipped more than one million units of its VM1000 product, shown in Figure 1. GlobalFoundries builds the piezoelectric MEMS at its Singapore fabs.
Figure 1. The Vesper VM1000, a piezoelectric MEMS microphone. The tiny device matches the package size and pinout of current capacitive MEMS microphones, so it can serve as a drop-in replacement. (Chip photo: Vesper)
A Slice of Piezo
As Figure 2 shows, a MEMS capacitor comprises two parallel metalized plates separated by an air gap. The backplate electrodes have fixed positions, but a hinge enables the diaphragm to move in response to sound-induced air pressure. Perforations in the backplate allow air to flow freely through the cavity. As the diaphragm moves, the distance between it and the fixed electrodes varies, changing the coupling capacitance. To better measure this capacitance, the microphone control ASIC uses a charge pump to precharge the diaphragm. The change in capacitance creates a change in this voltage that varies with the sound's amplitude and frequency. These voltages changes are small, so the ASIC contains an amplifier that boosts the signal.
Figure 2. Cross-section of a capacitive MEMS microphone. The diaphragm moves in response to acoustic-pressure changes, varying the backplate coupling capacitance. By precharging the diaphragm, the microphone converts the changing capacitance into a voltage signal.
One problem with MEMS capacitor microphones is that the air gap and ventilated backplate render them inherently susceptible to the effects of dust and moisture. Dust accumulation inside the capacitor impairs its sensitivity, and liquids can cause complete failure. The backplate air gaps can also introduce noise. In addition, these devices only function when a voltage is applied to the diaphragm, resulting in a constant power drain in "always listening" applications.
By contrast, Vesper employs an alternate MEMS structure that's immune to these issues. Manufacturing the piezoelectric sensors requires fewer mask layers than MEMS capacitor microphones. As Figure 3 shows, the piezoelectric elements comprise cantilevered aluminum-nitride plates, which generate a variable electric charge when sound waves cause them to flex. The thin-film sputtering process is similar to that for manufacturing piezoelectric RF filters (see MCR 8/22/16, "Akoustis Challenges Broadcom FBAR").
Figure 3. Cross-section of Vesper's piezoelectric MEMS microphone. The cantilevered structure moves in response to sound energy, and the piezoelectric material generates a current directly without the need for a charge pump.
Since the piezoelectric effect doesn't require an air gap, dust and moisture don't affect the electrical characteristics of such devices. In addition, because piezoelectric materials produce their own current, the microphone can omit precharge circuits. This capability allows Vesper to implement a wake-on-sound feature that keeps the ASIC in a low-power sleep mode until sound is detected. As a result, power consumption in listening mode is much lower than for capacitive microphones.
Building a Product Line
A complete MEMS microphone is a two-chip system comprising the transducer and a signal-processing ASIC. Regardless of the transducer type, the chips require manufacturing in different processes, but vendors can then mix and match the sensor and ASICs to offer a variety of products. Digital microphones also include an analog-to-digital converter to output the acoustic signal in a form that processors can handle directly.
Vesper's first product is the VM1000. It ships in a tiny 3.76mm x 2.95mm package that's just 1.1mm thick. The six-pin layout on the bottom of the package matches industry standards, enabling the device to serve as a drop-in replacement for capacitive microphones.
The VM1000 uses a simple analog chip that integrates an operational amplifier and a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator. The LDO handles external VDD supplies ranging from 1.6V to 3.6V. At the maximum supply level, the amplifier draws 145 microamps, generating output signals in the tens of millivolts. Vesper manufactures the analog ASIC in a 180-micron CMOS process.
The industry-standard test for measuring microphone sensitivity uses a 1kHz tone to generate a 94dB sound-pressure level (SPL), which is equivalent to one pascal (Pa). This SPL represents a very loud sound, akin to a jackhammer 50 feet away. The sensitivity of the VM1000 is typically –38dBV, equivalent to roughly a 13mV output, and is on a par with that of Knowles capacitor microphones.
Hey Siri, Wake Up!
Vesper has begun sampling two additional designs: the VM2000 and VM1010. The VM2000 is essentially the same as the VM1000, but the analog ASIC includes a differential output amplifier to increase the device's noise immunity and dynamic range. The power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) improves from –55dB to –70dB, and the acoustic-overload point for 10% total harmonic distortion increases from 125dBSPL to 135dBSPL. The tradeoff is a 50% greater active supply current—220 microamps. The VM2000 is currently sampling, and the company expects it to be generally available in 4Q16.
Next up is the VM1010. As Figure 4 shows, this design adds a latching comparator to the analog ASIC. By connecting one comparator input to the piezoelectric transducer and the other to a threshold reference voltage, customers can implement an always-on device that wakes up on sound. When the piezoelectric transducer senses sound pressure exceeding the threshold, the comparator output switches to generate a wake-up signal for the speech processor. The threshold is adjustable, so users can set it accordingly for noisy or quiet environments. In the always-on sleep mode, the VM1010 draws just 3 microamps; in active mode, it draws essentially the same current as the VM1000. The company expects it to enter volume production in 1Q17.
Figure 4. Schematic for VM1010 piezoelectric MEMS microphone. The two-chip package combines the piezoelectric transducer with a small analog ASIC, which provides the signal buffer and amplification. The VM1000 omits the comparator, mode input, and differential output.
The VM1010's wake-on-sound function creates additional opportunities. In a burglar alarm, for example, it can detect breaking glass before thieves can even enter a building. In high-crime areas, it can immediately alert police to dangerous sounds such as gunshots, screams, or crashing cars.
Developing a Sound Strategy
The popularity of voice-command user interfaces such as Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, OK Google, and Microsoft's Cortana is building demand for MEMS microphones. For example, the iPhone 6 contains three microphones, and the supersized iPhone 6s has four. The extra mics improve sound quality by enabling noise cancellation and by increasing accuracy for hands-free speakerphone operation. To enable far-field voice-command detection, digital assistants use beamforming with an array of microphones. The Amazon Echo employs seven microphones, but other designs have even more.
To serve these new multisensor applications, capacitor-microphone manufacturers have integrated multiple diaphragms on the same die. That solution is problematic, however, since a failure of one element makes the others unusable as well. Vesper says its cantilevered piezoelectric structure avoids these types of failures.
The startup sees further growth opportunities beyond voice microphones. Its transducer can respond to ultrasonic waves, potentially offering a low-power alternative to the infrared-based proximity detectors in all smartphones. By coupling the sensor with the appropriate ASIC, the device can detect changes in atmospheric pressure, serving as an altimeter or barometer.
In a rapidly growing market such as MEMS microphones, which some forecast to exceed $1 billion in annual revenue, a new disruptive technology such as Vesper's piezoelectric transducer is sure to draw imitators. To protect itself, the company has licensed related patents from the University of Michigan, and it has filed for or already received several others from the U.S. Patent Office.
Employing the reusable MEMS component, Vesper can quickly develop new products by spinning low-complexity ASICs, and it has on its 2017 roadmap a digital microphone as well as an improved SNR model. Its future will depend on investors' patience as it ramps to volume production. The current staffing is too small to pursue all the available opportunities, so we expect Vesper will need additional funding to build out its product line. Having a proven product and customers, it should easily raise the necessary capital. The company could also be an attractive acquisition target for AAC or another large microphone vendor. In the meantime, designers seeking a waterproof or always-on microphone should talk to Vesper.
Price and Availability
Vesper withheld pricing for the VM1000, but we expect it carries a small premium over capacitor microphones owing to its waterproof properties. The MEMS device and supporting ASIC are available now. For more information, access www.vespermems.com/products/vm1000.

Recently, I decided on a path for my future.
Throughout my life, I've wanted to be a dancer, a veterinary surgeon, a writer… But now I've finally decided what I'd like to do after I finish University (either after my BA or after doing an MA):
I'm going to teach English to people in Japan!
So, in order to get by and survive in Japan, I must learn the language before I get there. I have started teaching myself from a textbook, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Conversational Japanese.
It did come with an audio CD, but I lost it. Anyhow, I know exactly how to pronounce the language, so I don't mind. I've always been very good at pronunciation when I learnt Spanish. French however, evaded me…that's another story.
Eventually, I'll start learning how to read and write Kana/Kanji.
So far, I've learnt particles and sentence structure; Affirmative Present, Affirmative Past, Negative Present and Negative Past tenses for verbs, adjectives and nouns; and the TE-form (-ing verbs).
I've learnt to say: "That's my book" – Kore-wa watashi-no hoN-desu. "There's pizza in the freezer" – Piza-wa furiizaa-ni ari-masu.
I haven't really bothered to learn much else by heart yet. I'm going to go over everything I've learnt so far for a brush up and to test myself.
Readers: Are you learning a new language? What do you find easy or difficult about learning the language?

What is the point? We shoot and we shoot, we build our portfolios, and we get better. Sharing our work on social media is awesome, but its temporary. Very few things in life last anymore. Everything is made to be easily disposed of. And that is fine to a point. It hit me one day a few months ago while driving home that there are no more master photographers.
This might be morbid, but when I die, no one is going to pine after my terabytes and terabytes of backup hard drives containing all of my archives. No one is going to want yours either. That's just the price we pay for the time we live. There are more amazing photographers in the world than you can even dream up. No university or museum has the resources to keep up with all of the amazing work that is being created. In all of this, the answer came to me so simply.
The only chance I have for my art to survive past my lifetime is to make prints and share with people. This is the entire theory behind my new system. I am selling 10 hand-signed archival edition prints of carefully selected photos and once one is sold out, a new photo will take its place. I want whatever art I create to outlive me, so I am pricing it realistically. I'm sick of hoarding all of my work away in hopes that someday there will be a home for it all after a huge payday. Its just not going to happen. And we should all be totally fine with that. Just sell the work that you make. Because what is the point if we don't?

DiS Users August Album Of The Month.
The same rules/format as the previous months. Feel free to mention as many albums as you like but please make your one album of the month clear as it helps with tallying up the scores easier. Also, if you list a bunch of albums without specifying your favourite I'll take the first one mentioned as your album of the month unless otherwise stated. (Sorry to be such a pedant.)
My album of the month (by default) is The New Pornographers - Brill Bruisers
It's the only album I've heard this month. I've heard it probably three times now. It's not a patch on their first three albums which are simply brilliant power pop albums but sounds good nonetheless. I hope to get some good recommendations from this thread.
I'll keep this thread open until Sunday 31st August. As usual forgive any shameless bumps by myself during the week.
fav is
kero kero bonito 'intro bonito'
also liked
carpainter 'jubilate EP'
puce mary 'persona'
fka twigs 'LP1'
- colossalhorse this'd this
A tentative nod to Ian William Craig - A Turn of Breath from what I've heard of it
will report back when my copy arrives (hopefully tomorrow :D)
Adebisi Shank sounded killer but I haven't really had occasion to listen to it 'cause I've not been for a run or a proper cycle or anything since it came out. Will remedy that soon.
Still haven't heard FKA Twigs 'cause I can't find a stream and am loathe to buy it because it's the kind of thing that if I don't love it I think I'll fucking hate it. Should I just buy it?
That new Sophie 12" was this month, right? That's 100% single of the month.
I don't know where one is
Do you? I'd appreciate it! I know it was streaming on the iTunes website a while back but that didn't work on my computer for some reason. Am I being very stupid here?
Oh I don't use Spotify
so I hadn't even thought to check it - that is pretty stupid. Thanks!
Surprised you had given up without trying Spotify
Streams are also available on multiple other sites. Hope you like the album after all.
Ian William Craig is lush
I've been listening to it a lot and got his previous free d/l albums off his bandcamp too. He was new to me this momnth, heard about him from Anti-Grav Bunny. He is really great.
Royal Blood
by Royal Blood.
Was blown away by their festival performances this year and have had the album on repeat today. They get such a massive sound from such a stripped back setup (+lots of bass effects).badgertastic this'd this
Massive THIS ^ ^ ^
I was worried that bass played like an electric guitar would lose some oomph...they nailed it
They're totally derivative & unoriginal
but they're also fucking great fun. Really enjoying this album.
I really liked
the Owl John album, and FKA Twigs' debut.
I'm also pretty sure that, given more time, Jenny Hval & Sussanna's record, Meshes of Voice, will grow on me over time.
Previously I'd been really excited about the new Cold Specks record, but after a couple of listens it just is't grabbing me in the same way the first one did. I'll probably keep trying, though.
To clarify (because I forgot about the rules)
FKA Twigs is NUMBER ONE.

Aw fuck.
Sorry everyone.
Adult Jazz - Gist Is
Love this album, and how it constantly tries to pull the rug from underneath you. Lovely stuff.
Otherwise, FKA twigs like everyone else.
FKA twigs or J Mascis or Cymbals Eat Guitars
but I'll need more time as the latter two have only been on Spotify for a day.
barely listened to anything new this month
quite like the new Travis Scott mixtape - Days Before Rodeo
no 1 goes to
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - You Will Eventually Be Forgotten. [Emo] - a face card band of the emo revival, It's quite early death cab and kinsilla'ry with touches of mineral.
Deaf Center - Recount [Ambient Drone]
Near the Parenthesis - [electronic ambient]
Best: Ty Segall - Manipulator
Runner-up: Dark Horses - Hail Lucid State
Disappointing: Moodoid - Le Monde Moo
Phaeleh: "Somnus"
I find Phaeleh's new ambient album, "Somnus", mindblowingly beautiful and emotionally stirring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXvxF-1ILY0
FKA twigs hands down
Silver Mt Zion still AOTY so far though
Spoon - They Want My Soul
Already working it's magic with me. Haven't really listened to much else apart from playlists and a shitload of Kate Bush in anticipation. Will probs buy FKA Twigs at some point as the single's wonderful.
The Bug - Angels & Devils
just pips Shabazz Palaces
The cd version of the Christian fitness album arrived in the post yesterday, so that (even though the d/l has been around for a while longer than August).
haven't heard the new ty Seagal yet and could well imagine that supplanting it when i do.
Ian William Craig - A Turn of Breath is indeed best of the month for me.
Cymbals Eat Guitars coming in a close second. Listened to FKA Twigs a couple of yimes and there are some really astonishing moments but also a fair few parts I'd happily cut. Decent album but nothing spectacular - would still very much like to see her live though!
Spoon - They Want My Soul
Not quite as consistently good as your average Spoon album perhaps, but some real stand-outs. The title track is brilliant.
got to be
FKA Twigs
Really enjoying the Merchandise and Cymbals Eat Guitars albums too, but haven't spent enough time with them yet
Pretty quiet month
Ty Segall's Manipulator is AOTM. Sure there were some others but can't think of any. Next month looking good though
really like the J Mascis album, obviously not a massive departure but lots of nice little touches. like the sitar style guitar playing he trys every so often, sounds both exotic but also strangely reminds me of the grunge era, could be something off the singles soundtrack.
Really enjoying Brill Bruisers as well
Best thing they've done since Twin Cinema (though doesn't quite hit those heights overall) Dancehall Domine and War on the East Coast early stand outs for me.
Like the FKA Twigs album but not quite loving it as much as everyone else seems to.
The Wytches - Annabel Dream Reader is worth a listen too. Bit of a one trick pony but it's a good trick and I actually think having a fairly consistent mood works for the album. Have only given it a couple of listens to it so I may begin to either like/dislike it more.
Adult Jazz - Gist Is
I really like FKA Twigs but I'm struggling to love it.
Adult Jazz on the other hand makes me feel all Wild Beast lovely.
THE RESULTS (INCLUDING THOSE FROM DiS FACEBOOK)
1. FKA Twigs - LP1 (Ten votes)
2. Ty Seagall - Manipulator (Six votes)
3. Spoon - They Want My Soul (Five votes)
(FKA Twigs would have been AOTM if I just counted votes from this thread by the way.)
ah no, too late!
was just coming to cast my vote. Would have been for Ty Segall too (I think, maybe), but doesn't change the podium placing.
Not enough Adebisi Shank

Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff turned down the city of Oakland's demand to alter a long-term lease agreement for O.co Coliseum on July 2.
Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff turned down the city of Oakland's demand to alter a long-term lease agreement for O.co Coliseum on July 2.
The Oakland Tribune's Matthew Artz wrote a report on the latest turn of events:
"It appears that Oakland council members aren't the only ones ready to play hardball when it comes to keeping the A's in town for another decade.
"A's co-owner Lew Wolff said Wednesday that he will not entertain the council's demand to alter a proposed long-term lease agreement that already has the backing of Alameda County officials.
"Wolff said in an email to this newspaper that he had already made key concessions requested by Mayor Jean Quan, and that 'we and (Major League Baseball) are not going to consider expanding more time on still another party seeking to stall a vote.'
"Wolff's stance sets the stage for a heated meeting of the eight-member Oakland-Alameda Conty Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, which is scheduled to vote on the deal Thursday that would keep the team at O.co Coliseum for up to 10 years. The new lease would supersede a two-year lease that expires in 2015.
"While the county's four members favor the lease extension, the City Council has ordered its four representatives to vote down the deal and proposed competing terms.
"The city and county jointly own the sprawling Coliseum complex that the A's have called home for nearly five decades. Yet, when it comes to the lease talks, county officials have sided with the A's, isolating council members who believe the proposed extension is too generous to the team.
"The deadlock not only leaves negotiations at an impasse, but it also calls into question whether there is too much distrust among all parties for the A's to to commit to building a a new ballpark in Oakland, county leaders said.
"At the heart of the dispute is that several city leaders see the proposed 10-year extension as an opportunity for Wolff to buy time in his quest to move to San Jose, while county leaders insist it will create an infusion of good will necessary for A's ownership to explore building a new ballpark in Oakland.
"Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, who helped negotiate the lease terms, said the city's opposition to the lease has embarrassed both the A's and Major League Baseball and harmed Oakland's chances at keeping the team.
"'By the city voting no tomorrow, there is no chance for the A's to ever stay in Oakland,' he said. 'In fact I look for them to be out by the end of this two-year lease.
"Councilman Noel Gallo countered that the city wants to keep the A's but that the terms have to be fair and the team needs to show a strong commitment to the city.
.@Athletics Lew Wolff say "no" to more lease talks with @Oakland. CM Gallo says Wolff should stop "Wolffing around." http://t.co/LjzDL7C21R— Matthew Artz (@Matthew_Artz) July 3, 2014
"'It's my job to represent the city of Oakland,' he said. 'I will not give away the city, and I will not give away taxpayers' money.'
"'As for Mr. Wolff,' he added,'he needs to quit 'Wolffing around' and get down to business and make Oakland the A's permanent home.'
"The proposed lease deal would include a 'good faith' effort by the team to explore building a stadium at the Coliseum complex and not allow the A's to exercise an escape clause until 2018 at the earliest. But the city still has a host of concerns.
"Sources said the city's counter-offer will eliminate a proposed lease reduction in 2015 from $1.75 million to $1.25 million."
SFGate.com's Carolyn Jones and Susan Slusser added more details about the development:
"Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, chairman of the Coliseum board, said the city risks losing the A's if they don't agree to the current proposal.
"'The long and short of it is that we already have a good deal. Major League Baseball is comfortable with it. The A's are comfortable with it. Most of us at the JPA are are comfortable with it,' Miley said. 'Ultimately, this just shows how challenging, if not impossible, it is to negotiate and do business here. It's a moving target -- no one knows who they're negotiating with, or what the terms are. It's very disconcerting.'
"Miley said he is confident the current proposal is the best the Coliseum board and city can get and includes numerous provisions to protect taxpayers and keep the team in Oakland."
The main attraction of the deal is a new coliseum scoreboard, per Jones and Slusser:
"But the main perk for the city and the Coliseum authority is a new $10 million scoreboard system, which could also be used for Oakland Raiders games, concerts and other events at the facility, whether the A's stay or go.
"The Coliseum authority is ordinarily responsible for maintaining the scoreboard but can't afford to replace the entire system, sources said."

The goalscoring drought is finally, mercifully over for the Canadian national team.
Canada scored their first goal in 959 minutes en route to a 1-1 draw with Bulgaria on Friday in an international friendly in Ritzing, Austria. Atiba Hutchinson stepped up to the penalty spot in the 28th minute and coolly converted the chance to pull the Canadians level and lift a massive weight off their and the long-suffering fanbase's shoulders.
As expected, Benito Floro rolled out an experienced starting lineup against the No. 73-ranked Bulgarians, with Milan Borjan getting the start in goal ahead of young Roberto Stillo and Ricky Gomes. Julian de Guzman wore the captain's armband while Hutchinson showed the kind of dominance that has earned him Canadian Player of the Year honors on two occasions.
The game's best early chance came to Canada in the 10th minute, when Hutchinson made a good run through the middle and chipped to Tosaint Ricketts, who fired just high from the edge of the penalty area. Hutchinson engineered another great chance six minutes later, playing in Randy Edwini-Bonsu, whose close-range shot was well-saved by Bulgarian goalkeeper Vladislav Voyanov.
But it was Bulgaria who opened the scoring in the 19th minute, with Andrey Galabinov muscling his way through the Canadian backline and slotting home from in close, after some quick one-two passing at the top of the penalty area. It was Galabinov's first goal for his country and came in just his second appearance.
In the 27th minute, Ricketts was kicked in the face by a Bulgarian defender while chasing a corner kick and the referee pointed to the spot. That gave Hutchinson the opportunity to equalize.
Both teams had chances in the remainder of the half, but the game went to the break tied at 1-1.
Clear-cut scoring chances were harder to come by in the second half, with both sides taking a cagier approach. The Bulgarian pressure built as the half wore on, and a go-ahead goal started to seem inevitable, but Borjan – who has been without a club for several months – stayed alert and repelled a number of decent scoring chances.
Floro did give a run-out to several youngsters in the latter stages of the second half: Montreal Impact Academy midfielder Jérémy Gagnon-Lapare came on for Edwini-Bonsu and University of Connecticut striker Cyle Larin replaced Simeon Jackson, while Samuel Piette and Daniel Haber replaced Pedro Pacheco and Hutchinson, respectively, in the dying minutes.
Despite a nervy final 10 minutes as the Canadian players ran out of steam, Les Rouges did enough to earn their first result since a 0-0 draw with Mauritania on Sept. 8, 2013 – and some crucial FIFA points against a European opponent.
Up next, Canada will attempt to end another long-running and disheartening drought: 15 international games without a win, dating back to a victory over Cuba on Oct. 12, 2012. They'll get their chance on Tuesday against No. 99-ranked Moldova.

I'm Ivan and I live in San Jose, California. I'm also a husband, a dad to four kids, and I ride my bike a lot. I've shot weddings and families professionally for over a decade now. Here are a few things you should know about me and how I shoot.
When I shoot weddings, I have two goals.
First, I want to capture the story of the day. I'm not concerned about getting that one perfect shot. Instead, I want to create a collection of images that portray that beautiful and lifetime event for the couple and for the family.
Second, I want to capture the love between the two people. In my mind it is best done through photo-journalistic style of photography, also known as the documentary style. I try to blend into the wedding crowd and become one of the guests who quietly takes pictures and hardly ever gets noticed. I don't pose my clients unless these are formal group shots or couple wants a formal portrait. My favorite photos are those that are candid and unposed. I don't have a shot list, and I don't ask one from my clients.
In other words, I'm the perfect photographer if photography is the last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day, but you also want to preserve the timeliness story of your wedding that you can relive again and again as decades go by.
Because wedding photography is not my main source of income, I shoot because I love to, not because I have to. I also limit the number of weddings I shoot every year to less than 10. This way I enjoy and work my hardest at each and every one of them. I also edit all the photographs myself.
While I shoot most of my weddings inside San Francisco Bay Area, I'm happy to travel and have shot weddings all across US and in Europe.
I actually picked up a camera more seriously as soon as I found out my wife and I were expecting our first child. I wanted to do my best to capture his childhood and to record a history of our family through photography.
Ever since then, I haven't stop taking photos, and I shoot my family just about every day.
Just like with weddings, I care the most about emotions and the relationships between family members. I shoot with an emphasis on that, and while I do direct those shoots a bit more than weddings (especially when there are kids involved!), I'm very easy going and try to have as much fun wit the family as I would have with my own when we're out and about and I have my camera with me. I get told again and again by my clients that the shoots with me are the easiest and the funnest ones that they have ever done.

Robert Louis Stevenson fans can look forward to 28 February when they will be able to view the first edition of 'Kidnapped' as it goes live on the National Library of Scotland's website.
The entire first published English edition of 'Kidnapped', dated 1886, has been digitised and is available to read online page by page, with the added benefit of being text searchable.
'Kidnapped' is a new feature on the Library's redesigned and enhanced Robert Louis Stevenson site, where, in addition to reading the novel, you can discover more about Stevenson's life and work, see photographs from his time in the South Seas, illustrations from some of his manuscripts, and much more.
Also of interest to Stevenson fans, the National Library recently purchased Cam Kennedy's artwork for the graphic novel of 'Kidnapped'. This re-telling of the classic adventure story has been described as 'a stunning adaptation' produced by 'the absolute dream team' of Cam Kennedy and writer Alan Grant, published by Ron Grosset. The Library will shortly add more of the original material to its collections.
'Kidnapped' is a classic of Scottish fiction. First published in 1886, it has remained in print ever since, and been adapted many times for film and television. It is both a gripping adventure story and a book filled with ideas and historical details about Scotland after the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 drawn from Stevenson's earlier research.

Prognostic and predictive value of low estrogen receptor expression in breast cancer
Anti-hormonal therapy (tamoxifen) is recommended for estrogen receptor (er)–positive breast cancer (bca); however, its effect on low-receptor cancers is unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of adjuvant tamoxifen in patients with weakly er-positive bca.
We identified 2221 bca patients who had been er-tested by ligand-based assay (lba) during 1976–1995 and who had been treated and followed until 2008. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, body mass index, tumour size, nodal status, surgery, and chemotherapy were used to assess the effect of er level on bca survival in patients who received tamoxifen.
Overall, 17% (383) of patients were within 0–3 fmol/mg cytosol protein, and 12% (266) were within 4–9 fmol/mg cytosol protein. Patients with er levels of 0–3, 4–9, 10–19, 20–49, and 50 fmol/mg or more cytosol protein had 20-year bca survival rates of 56%, 56%, 63%, 71%, and 60% respectively. Of the 2221 patients studied, 661 (29.8%) received anti-hormonal therapy. Within the latter group, er levels of 0–3, 4–9, 10–19, 20–49, and 50 fmol/mg or more cytosol protein were associated with a hazard ratio for lower bca mortality: respectively, 1.00 (reference), 0.59 (p = 0.09), 0.19 (p < 0.0001), 0.26 (p < 0.0001), and 0.31 (p < 0.0001)—the risk reduction being significant only for er levels of 10 fmol/mg or more cytosol protein.
Tamoxifen use in bca patients with a weakly positive er status (4–9 fmol/mg cytosol protein), compared with those having higher er levels (≥10 fmol/mg cytosol protein), is not associated with a significantly lower bca-specific mortality. Our results do not support treatment with anti-hormonal therapy for bca patients with a weakly positive er status as identified by lba.
