Disclosure: I was sent a sample from the vendor in order to write up an honest review. All views shared are mine and mine alone. So, what makes the Luma Comfort HC12W Humidifier so wonderful, and why can't I stop raving about it? Just look at these features, which are all pro's in my book:It is energy efficient, making it perfect for those who are cautious about running too many devices that eat up electricity in their home.It is so quiet -- Once on, it is near silent in operation. You'll forget that it is on. My oldest daughter is a light sleeper and the other humidifiers we used to run in her room would keep her awake at night with their loud motors or whistling sounds. She doesn't even know the Luma Comfort humidifier is running when we use it in her room.Notifies you that the water level is low by making a chiming/beeping soundComes with a remote so that you can turn and on and off without having to actually go to the humidifier to do so.A single tank fill will last for up to 45 hoursEasy to transport -- It is not heavy or clunky, making it easy to move from room to roomBlends in with home decor -- It looks like a fancy vase or accent piece, and will go with your room's style.Doesn't take up a lot of space -- This humidifier can fit perfectly in a corner, on a table top when set up to run as such, or even placed next to a fireplace or wood stove. Wherever you place this humidifier you don't have to worry about losing valuable free space due to a clunky or oversized deviceSo easy to operate -- My husband was able to figure out how to set up and run this humidifier right out of the box. Ability to set the mist settings (8 levels in total) from low to high with either the remote or by pushing the water mark button on the Luma comfort humidifier itself.Easy to clean and store -- When not in use, and you wipe this humidifier clean without having to fuss with small nooks and crannies that if left wet could breed mold, etc.Uses ultrasonic technology to create a micro-fine mist.Provides moisture in a room up to 650 sq. feet by spreading the mist out into the whole room and not just into the air above the humidifierComes with three attachments to adjust the height depending on your need -- either floor use, table top, etc.I would highly recommend this cool mist humidifier for anyone who suffers from frequent congestion, head cold, sinusitis or other ailments that could be helped with adding more moisture into the air, especially during the cold winter months. We have only had this humidifier in our home for about a month now, and love it. I ended up buying another one to add to the second floor in our home.

A beautiful appliance
Quiet, efficient, elegant but didn't work much before having issues. Still runs but after several emails and asking around discovered I need a new filter for a rather high price.

Great look and function
By Jkrn
from Pittsburgh
Used this in two different homes with forced air heat and makes a big difference in our comfort. No waking up with dry sore throats. Purchased to replace other brand unit that began leaking. This one has held up and love that it is attractive as well. No need to hide it. Looks lovely with plume of moisture come from top of tube. Looks like a large attractive vase. After last move lost the remote and company responded to email promptly with a replacement.
I would definately buy this again

We have gotten a lot of use out of our humidifier, it has helped a lot when our children have had nasty chest colds and helped moisten the air now that he heat and fireplace are going with this cold weather! We recently loaned it to my family while my brother was recovering from pneumonia and we credit his good night's rests to this humidifier.
I would definitely use this quality product again!

When we lived in New Mexico, I used this humidifier in my large living area as a way to keep the air from being too dry. Since moving to humid Florida, I do not use it as often, but I like how easy it is to clean and store for use at a later time.
Pretty and functional!
By Kisa
from Coeur D Alene, ID
I use this humidifier in my room as having gas forced air for heating really dries things out. I wanted something that would work well, not look too ugly, and not take up a ton of space at the same time. I've had my Luma Comfort humidifier for awhile now, and after having a few other brands that never held up, I am so happy to have mine! I love the musical tones when you turn the unit on or off, plus when you change the settings for the amount of steam. I like being able to wake up not feeling my sinuses all dried out and unhappy, and use this year round! We had a very hot and dry summer, so this was great during that as well.
Would Recommend to Everyone

With the winter being here we tend to get lots of colds and with kids around it can happen pretty often. This was easy to set up and I happen to use bottled water since we have extremely hard water where we live. It not only works really well but it looks great in whatever room you put it in. Its pretty quiet and I can go to sleep comfortably at night knowing that it's working for me.
Great humidifier

from Undisclosed
This has been an excellent addition to our home this winter. First, I love how it looks so it isn't an eye sore to our main living space, it actually looks really nice. It is also super quiet & works great! The mist is so nice ad refreshing and keeps our air clean during sick season . It is also really easy to use.
The prettiest Humidifier I've ever had!
By mommyonlyhs2hds
This humidifier is top of the line! First its just pretty! I love the design and that you can customize it, I love that it has a remote and that its not noisy. I have to other humidifiers in my home that are loud and big eye sores in a room. This one is not.
By Robin Ramirez
Beautiful, quiet, efficient.. Just what our home needed.
By Colorado happy home.
After buying filters and cleaning my old, large, box shaped, fan style humidifier, it is a great relief to find this beautiful appliance that adds style to the space. I no longer have to try to disguise this essential element of our comfort. At the top of the staircase, on carpet, making certain it sits level is the only thing I ever have to think about with this unit. I selected a nice base/table to set it on and it performs wonderfully. It is much quieter, with a gentle bubble sound. Quite soothing. We are in a very dry climate so we use it continuously. I add water approximately 2 times a day. If you have issues with lifting, this unit would be difficult to fill because of the design. The handle is on top but you must flip it over to fill the reservoir, then close and flip it back over which requires two hands. However, it is also a nice way to strenghten my arms and wrists!
Perfect for open concept homes
By Shannon Moyer Szemenyei
I was pleasantly surprised by a few things with this humidifier - first and foremost, it is incredibly quiet. I also love how easy it fits in with our home decor, and that is has a remote. We have it in a central area of our home so as to maximize its distribution area, and it is great to have the remote control option so our kids don't really even realize what it is...therefore minimizing them playing with it. With a really long, dry winter, this has helped us all to be healthy and battle congestion and germs.
I'm impressed!
By AnnieAtoZ
Even though I live in Florida and don't have rough, or super dry winters like the rest of the country, my skin does suffer a bit during the cooler months. One of my biggest gripes about traditional humidifiers is how hot they make the room. Also, the noise. So, I rarely ever bring out my humidifier. First, I LOVE THE DESIGN. I love that it doesn't look like a humidifier at all. It looks like a modern, chic vase! Second, it's extremely quiet. Third and most important, it truly shoots out cool mist. The room did not feel stuffy and gross, yet my skin felt babied. Another plus is how easy it was to clean. I also have it out in my living room still because I think it looks so pretty. Thumbs up! This was sent to me to try out for promotional uses. I would buy this in a heartbeat!
Great Humidifier
By Nancy Partin
I live in Arizona and it is so dry here. We are always in need of some moisture in the air. My boys and I all have allergies. The Luma Comfort humidifier has a stylish vase design. It seamlessly blends into just about any home decor. It produces 2.5 gallons of mist daily and effectively cover rooms up to 650 square feet. The tank will last up to 45 hours at a time. That means not a ton of refilling and you don't have to worry about it running out of water overnight. It is energy efficient which is great for anyone wanting to limit their energy use also produces very little sounds. It has a remote making it easy to use from a distance. It has 8 different mist settings with a musical alert when changing between settings. It can be set any setting that best fits your needs. It has LED display lights. The humidifier has a demineralization cartridge that helps to prevent scale build up. We have hard water so this is a great help for us. It comes with different attachments to make it usable from the floor or on a table. I was able to set it on the floor next to my son's bed and it reached him easily. He has a very tall bed. The attachments fit together seamlessly and you can't really tell where they fit together. The tank is really easy to fill by turning it upside down in the kitchen sink. It is light weight and easy to move from room to room as needed. There are so many great things about this humidifier.

Good bye dry air!
By Heather Giff
I live in New England and all month we have been going from 12 degrees to 50 degrees back to 18 degrees and it's reeking havoc on all of us. The air has been too dry and it's been torture on our infant and toddler. Dry noses, chapped lips- the works. After setting up this humidifier in the living room, things were so much better! The adjustable about of cool mist that was being made let us really ramp up the amount of moisture in the air quickly! My husband loves the remote and I love how quiet and seamless it fits in with our decor!

I received this humidifier earlier in the year and would be lost without it. It's already getting very cold in New England and when we turn on our forced air heat, it gets very dry also. We set up this in our living room and you can feel the difference in the air walking into or out of the room. My 1 year old son was very congested and we moved it to his room. The next morning he woke up without the congestion and I'm convinced it's because of the humidifier!I love that it's quiet, has multiple levels of how much moisture if given off, and that it is sleek and stylish.The one downside is that I have not figured out how to turn it on/off if I don't have the remote, which sometimes gets misplaced with a 1 year old who likes to play with it!
By mustardseedmom
We started using this during a week when my 2 year old had a nasty cold, he was super congested and not sleeping well at all. We placed this right outside his gated room to allow the cool mist to breeze into his room. He slept so peacefully that first night, and you could tell the cool mist helped him to breathe much easier! Highly recommend - it's functional and fits most decors!

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week the following troparion, based on the parable of the Ten Virgins (Mt 25: 1-13) is chanted thrice at the beginning of Matins (hear it chanted in Slavonic here and here):
Behold the Bridegroom comes in the middle of the night; and blessed in the servant whom He shall find watching, but unworthy is he whom He shall find in slothfulness. Beware, then, O my soul, and be not overcome by sleep, lest though be given over to death and shut out from the Kingdom. But return to soberness and cry aloud: Holy, holy, holy are Thou, O God: through the Theotokos have mercy upon us.Later in the same service, a similarly eschatological hymn, this time based on the parable of the man cast out from the feast because he had no wedding garment (Mt 22: 11-13) is likewise chanted three times (listen here):
I see Thy bridal chamber adorned, O my Saviour, and I have no wedding garment that I may enter there. Make the robe of my soul to shine, O Giver of Light, and save me.Each day also has its own special commemorations. Today we commemorate the Patriarch Joseph, whose innocent suffering prefigures Christ's Passion (Gen 37 and 39-40), and the barren fig tree cursed by the Lord (Mat 21: 18-20), which stands as a symbol of judgment.
For more on the Bridegroom Service – as Matins on Holy Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday is called – see here and here. St John Chrysostom's homily on the Ten Virgins can be read here; his homily on the parable of the Wedding Feast can be found here. St Augustine's homily on the parable of the Fig Tree is here. For more on Holy Week in general, see here.

Guizot, François
Guizot, François fräNswä´ gēzō´ [key], 1787–1874, French statesman and historian. The son of a Protestant family of Nîmes, he was educated at Geneva. He began a legal career in Paris in 1805, but soon took up literary work and later became a professor of modern history at the Univ. of Paris. His lectures there formed a center of political opposition to the Restoration. His friendship with Royer-Collard and his sympathy with the moderate royalists soon drew him into minor political office. As an opposition deputy he was involved in the July Revolution of 1830 and became one of the leading intellectual exponents of the bourgeois July Monarchy of Louis Philippe . As minister of public instruction (1832–37), Guizot introduced (1833) a new system of primary education. Turning more and more to conservatism, he became (1840) the chief power in the ministry nominally headed by Soult, who had displaced the more liberal Thiers as premier. In 1847, Guizot became premier. His leadership provided a stable government, but his complacent acceptance of the established order led to his overthrow in the February Revolution of 1848, which forced the abdication of Louis Philippe. Guizot devoted the rest of his life to writing. The best known of his many works, Histoire de la révolution d'Angleterre [history of the revolution in England] (6 vol., 1826–56), illustrates his critical approach and his devotion to original sources as well as his admiration for middle-of-the-road British revolutionism. He also wrote Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire de mon temps [memoirs to serve as a history of my time] (8 vol., 1858–67) and the brilliant General History of Civilization in Modern Europe (6 vol., 1829–32 tr. by William Hazlitt, 3 vol., 1846). The last work, never completed, covers principally the civilization of France up to the 14th cent. See his memoirs (8 vol., tr. 1974).

Royal Queen Seeds OG Kush Originally from Northern California, this cannabis strain has quickly become known around the world for its distinct aroma and strong effects. OG Kush is a very unique strain that can't be compared with any other marijuana strains.
Its true genetics are unknown. Some say OG Kush is a mix of ChemDawg with a Lemon Thai and Pakistani Kush. Others say that it's just a special cutting of ChemDawg from the early 90s. Even the meaning of the name OG has been debated; with some saying it means Original Gangster. However, now, because of its origins, most people agree it means Ocean Grown.
One thing that is not debated is the popularity of this feminized cannabis strain. From Hollywood movie stars and rappers to medical marijuana users, OG Kush is loved by many. The most obvious trait of OG Kush is its strong, unique, very dank, slightly citrus aroma, almost like fuel or strong detergent. The flavour of OG Kush is equally as strong and dank, with a long-lasting aftertaste.
OG Kush is an extremely strong cannabis strain, with most experienced smokers listing it as one of their favourites. The effect is as strong physically as it is mentally. Though its effect is like an Indica, the strain's genetics are mostly Sativa. The effect is as strong and complex as the flavour. OG Kush takes around 8 weeks to flower and on average the yield is 45 grams per plant.
OG Kush is known to stretch slightly during growth but soon starts to fill out during flowering. Generally, it will reach a height of 70 to 100 cm. Its buds are large and dense, lime green clusters covered with a large amount of resin. There are many good reasons why OG Kush cannabis seeds have become so popular. Now available as a feminized variety from Royal Queen Seeds, so you can try out this amazing strain yourself.

In this volume, the author, a sociologist, places the question of human/animal relations at the heart of sustainability and climate change debates.
The book is shaped by the emergence of two contradictory trends within the approach to nonhuman animals: the biotechnological turn in animal sciences, which aims to increase the efficiency and profitability of meat and dairy production and the emerging field of critical animal studies - mostly in the humanities and social sciences - which works to question the nature of the relations with other animals.
'Twine's Animals as Biotechnology adds a much needed perspective to debates surrounding animal life, ethics, capitalism, and emerging animal biotechnologies. Combining cutting-edge interdisciplinary frameworks from critical animal studies with in-depth analyses of the economics and science behind the increasing commodification and production of animals for human consumption, Twine makes a compelling case for the development of a more generous, less anthropocentric approach in our myriad relations with the other-than-human world.' Dr. Matthew Calarco, Associate Professor of Philosophy, California State University at Fullerton, Author of Zoographies: The Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida 'Richard Twine weaves deftly between 'molecularisation' of animals in biotechnology and growing sensibilities about human-animal relationships. Tensions between these opposing strands raise many questions about what animal science can promise, and - importantly - about implications for sustainability and how we treat other animals who share this earth. Rethinking relationships with other animals is critical for all our futures.' Professor Lynda Birke, University of Chester, UK

William Browne waded through the flowing water over Allegan Dam Road, the water swirling around his boots.
William Browne waded through the flowing water over Allegan Dam Road, the water swirling around his boots.
The Valley Township supervisor was on his way to talk with the Allegan County Road Commission about the road's condition.
The news was not good.
The Wednesday morning rain washed out about 200 feet of the road on the north side of Lake Allegan. The road is a main route to the Allegan Dam and some of the area's best fishing.
"There was just too much water," said road commission Managing Director Bill Nelson later Wednesday afternoon. "It totally took it."
Allegan County received between 1.5 to 1.77 inches of rain in about an hour, according to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids.
Roads throughout the county were under water by 11 a.m. Some spots on 118th Avenue east of 48th Street in the Allegan State Game Area still had standing water hours after the storm. Traditional low spots in the Pullman area on 109th Avenue were again flooded.
A culvert on 36th Street north of the Dumont Lake area failed during the storm, damaging the road. One lane is closed.
Nelson said the overall damage is close to last year's floods that totaled $2.5 million and wiped out a dam in Laketown Township and forced the closure of Clearbrook Drive in Saugatuck Township.
On Wednesday, Chris Chopp watched the water swirl over 121st Avenue east of 36th Street. The normally placid pond and trickle of water from Dumont Creek was a raging river, pulling tree limbs into the brown water.
Kids would play in the small pond in quieter weather, but on Wednesday, Chopp hoped no one tried to drive across the flooded street.
The road received minor damage but was passable later in the day, according to Nelson.

Before I asked my question I'd like everyone to know that I have nothing to do with copyrighted material or anything pirated that being said, here's my question:
My kids have sent me up some home movies, and I've been able to extract the mpegs and join them with a different program. I used DVD lab, and I've produced a DVD. However the PC plays the DVD disc fine, but I can't get my DVD player to accept that disk. The player I have is a apex, and it plays everything. Except the DVDs I made. I use DVD+rw disks and they are all formatted.I've made sure to finalize each disk.the DVD discs are all compatible with my machine and software.however when I put the DVD disc into my DVD player. I get the error "disk error".
When I explore the DVD desk that I wrote to. I see that the MPEG has got the Windows media player logo on, and I'm wondering if that might be the problem. If you have any input for this. Please let me know. I appreciate it.
PS if this is not the correct area to post this question, please let me know.

I am still restraining myself from commenting on this Christiana Love & Husband issue… The latest shocking report has it that, Christiana Love's 9 years marriage came to an end because her husband-Pastor Love (man of God) RAPPED his wife's little sister who was staying with them…Gosh! God should come fast…
Read below for more….
Award-winning Ghanaian gospel musician, Christiana Love, has explained circumstances that led to the breakdown of her nine-year marriage to Pastor Love Kweku Hammond, General Overseer of the Life Power Miracle Church.
Though Pastor Love is hopping from one radio station to another yelling that Christiana was pregnant for another man, that allegation has turned out to be an ordinary hearsay with no evidence whatsoever.
Christiana has challenged Pastor Love to prove his allegation and his response has been that it was a certain pastor friend in Europe who told him of the supposed relationship between the gospel singer and a certain Nana Yaw.
Christiana has categorically denied ever dating another man, let alone becoming pregnant for someone else. According to Christiana, Nana Yaw was a philanthropist who supported her charity project and that the man was a happily married man.
Explaining what led to the breakdown of her marriage to Pastor Love, Christiana revealed she had been enslaved and tormented by her husband for the past nine years and that she could not bear it any longer. "Pastor Love raped my younger sister who was staying with us. He threatened to kill the girl if she speaks the truth but she told my elder brother, Kwame, and he came for her and sent her to our hometown. "Pastor Love later asked the girl not to speak the truth but she says she only kept quiet to save my marriage and my music career…My husband even started chasing our housemaid and even slept with her while we were still married.
There was also a lady who came to him for consultation and he told the lady that he would have s*x with her because her husband would not marry her again…There has been several times he would pick the phone and propose to the ladies right in my presence and he would tell them that if he had seen them early, he would not have wasted his time to marry me," Christiana Love told Adom FM on Thursday in the Twi dialect.
The gospel musician, speaking amidst tears, said Pastor Love had turned her into a punching bag and that he beat her up and tore her clothes at the least opportunity.
"He would look me in the face and call me the child of a prostitute, the child of a witch and tell me that he would destroy me until I do not even have money that can buy a sachet of water to drink," Christiana added.
Pastor Love, in response, said just two years after he married Christian Love, he decided to break up with her and marry another woman.
He said even before breaking up with Christiana Love, he introduced his new found love to his parents and was about to make her his wife but Lady Bishop Christiana Doe Tetteh of the Solid Rock Chapel begged him to rescind his decision.

All, I have been away from internet service for a few days due to the holidays and this will continue...so there will be some delay in my responses the next few days. I read the questions from Eric, KF4OTN on the packet split and from Al, KD4SFF about the Roy Neal, K6DUE special event. Regarding the special event, yes, the event is still proceeding forward and the ARISS team appreciates Mike Foale's support. Remember, you qualify for the special certificate if you make a voice contact or a packet contact. Our plan have been to run this commemorative through to the end of the year. So there are a few days left. I want to remind everyone that the certificate for this event requires an SASE with an envelope of at least 9 inches by 12 inches in size. Please QSL through your area's QSL team (Americas, Europe, Russia, Asia). The QSL address information is on the ARISS web site: www.rac.ca/ariss Regarding the packet frequencies and why we use split, I think many have already provided some answers to this. !45.80 is designated a human spaceflight downlink frequency. Right now it shares use on voice and packet for general operations and school group operations. In the future, we expect it to also be used at times for voice, packet, repeater capabilities, school group contacts and SSTV. We would like to keep the downlink frequency clear for all to hear and receive. In large cities, simplex mode results in loud signals from local packet overwhelming others listening on voice and other, weaker, downlink signals from ISS. While we highly discourage it, there are some that keep their packet systems running automated so that they can get that packet or APRS signal through. This is one of a few reasons why we have elected to go split frequency on our operations. I hope all are enjoying the Holiday Season. 73, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

I ran out of my deodorant that I usually use. I found this in my medicine cabinet. I knew the brand old spice was mostly for men. I tried it and for the past few days it has worked great. I don't remember where he bought it or the price of it. I haven't had any sweat problems since. I am going to continue to use this product.
My husband has been using this same deodorant since before we met and we've been together for 9 years! That gives testament to how well this product works and stands the rest of time. It's a nice, light scent that goes on smooth and doesn't leave residue. My husband has sensitive skin and this doesn't bother him. I've even used it and it worked just as well for me.
As a women I use this for myself. the small isn't over powering and it keeps you from sweating

Erik Dellums is the voice of radio personality and occasional quest-giver Three Dog from Fallout 3. Yesterday he tweeted the following tease: "To all my
#Fallout3 and #ThreeDog fans: There may be more of the Dog coming! Fingers crossed!" When pressed for more information over twitter, he was only able to say that that tiny tease was all he'd been authorised to share. With Bethesda having shipped Skyrim in 2011, chances are their next game announcement will be soon. We're holding thumbs for Fallout 4 and not another spin-off ala New Vegas.

In an interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz, Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura confirmed that there is indeed a fourth film in the works, with a projected release date of summer 2014. Also, Michael Bay (who helmed the other three movies) is on board to direct. While the Transfomers franchise launched both Shia LaBeouf and Megan Foxinto superstardom, it is highly unlikely they will be back for this one, as di Bonaventura referred to the as-yet-untitled film as a "reboot."
So, have they started looking for Shia's replacement?
Not exactly. di Bonaventura said they need a story first.
"You can't pick characters if you don't have a story."
Makes sense to us!
He also touches a bit about how they'll approach it and whether or not they'll completely start from scratch. For more on the interview, check out the video.
Bay has also confirmed the notion of a fourth Transformers flick on his official site. According to the press release, the film will hit theaters June 29, 2014.
Will you head to theaters to see this flick when it comes out? Or are you over it? Cast your vote in the poll!

Families spend upto 12 percent of their income to send their children to private tuitions, revealed the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). The reason is because the parents want to "augment basic education". Nearly a quarter of the student population or 7-odd crore go to off-school tutorials. One thing is sure: Formal education in schools exists, but it does not deliver.
Both the well-heeled and the poor are into this as the survey revealed, and 89 percent of the surveyed said they were augmenting what was being taught in schools. It is not so much about the student being bad in his studies, but supplementing what the schools taught. In the past, those who regularly failed in a subject, or were weak in it, took tuitions for a leg up, often offered by a neighbour who knew the subject.
The link between tuitions and monetary gains for the teachers was obvious, especially before the 5th or 6th pay commission scales. There was an implicit belief that a teacher tutoring his or her own student outside the school for a fee may mean there could be a tendency to give the student better marks to retain the credibility as a tutor. That is why they were banned from private tuitions. That set in motion the new industry: Private coaching classes.
It is one of these coaching classes, which was forgiven by a parent for stripping his two children, six and seven year olds respectively and made to stand outside a tutorial to discipline them because "it is a competitive age. How will children learn if not disciplined?" He was willing to scar the children, who were believed to be so bad in school that they needed extra help to pass with some modest marks. They were not even aiming for a seat in the IITs or medical colleges.
But the competitive age has spawned a whole new industry of coaching classes attended by the four percent of the surveyed, as it was required for exams for jobs or other educational institutes, including the IITs, medical and engineering colleges, where a student may miss out a seat because of a mere difference of 0.1 percent in marks. The level of competition has increased with the number of colleges.
In their anxiety to push a child into professions the parent want, regardless of the aptitude, which actually may never have been tested, they send them off to coaching classes. The child is subjected to a life of mental rigour which can also sap them physically. There are fees to be paid in lakhs, and children are often sent to coaching classes away from their home towns and are forced live in shared apartments, without even minimal parental supervision. Such children are at a loss in an alien environment.
For instance, Latur, Kota are tutorial hubs where auxiliary businesses have emerged for rentals, maids to clean and cook. Of late, suicides have been reported because of various reasons, including separation anxiety of the kids. In 2015, some students, attending in tutorials in Kota, were reported to have taken their own lives. Not all those who manage to survive the stress may make it to IITs or good engineering or medical colleges. And statistics would reveal that barely 3-4 percent get to their chosen institutions.
In the past few years, coaching classes have tied-up with junior colleges with the students attending the former, while also appearing for the junior colleges exams, thus "saving" two scholastic years. Attendance is cooked up and the parents pay the tutorials upto Rs 5 lakhs a year. There hardly has been a murmur about this because it "benefits" everyone.
The tragedy in all this is the clear discounting of formal education in formal institutions which fosters merit, but is left to the tutorials who may help one become successful enough to get a seat, but as far as traditional learning is concerned, the students will be at a loss. Tutorials are a testament to the fact that the formal system exists, but it has given up.
To get to these institutions, children forgo their pleasures of adolescence and its charms, and sit in private coaching classes to learn by rote and importantly, how to crack the competitive exams. There's a method, which may or may not stand in good stead once they enter the IITs and medical colleges. There, they flounder because by then they had weakened on lectures and application.
But isn't it a fact that the coaching class industry pushed the bar up and make their presence all the more a requirement so that a hopeful student could be sent to them? It just can't be that a student who has to have 12 years of schooling cannot get into an IIT or medical or engineering college without the involvement of a coaching class.

On creating pop music:
"I don't know if you know, but I'm not exactly Bob Dylan – I'm already a pop musician…I want to reach as many people as possible…I don't mind compromising."
On people hating him:
"What if I had a booth on the street and I said, 'Attention everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I'm ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon…I will only be speaking to people who not like me. Come out and let me have it.' How many people do you think would be standing there?…Ze-ro."
During the interview (in its December issue) conducted at L.A.'s star hangout Chateau Marmont, Mayer, 32, encounters Butler at a nearby table and strikes up a private 20 minute conversation. Gerard Butler had been briefly linked to Mayer's ex-girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.
When the Details writer asks about the chat, Mayer says, "We talked about New York . . .We're in a bit of the same position of being branded womanizers."
Mayer then opens up a tad about the famous women he's dated, suggesting that the heart wants what it wants:
"You just never know who's going to come into your life," he says. "To my mind, the only thing sicker than saying, 'Wow, you're a famous person and it would do a lot for my career to go out with you,' is to say, 'Wow, you're a famous person and I like you and all, but I can't do that to my career.' I don't think either of those is a good option."
The profile also details the musician's myriad collections: watches, guitars, cars, Leica cameras, even women's leather bags. Explains Mayer: "I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction . . . Except I never had the addiction." He adds self-consciously: "I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool."

7/21/2005 by Ron "GMRO" Osinski - Team JR
Copyright:© 2005 Horizon Hobby, Inc.
Ron Osinski talks about the Blade CP RTRJust short of a year ago, some good friends at Horizon asked me for my input on a micro e-heli for their product line. Since I've been flying e-helis of various sizes for many years now, I jumped at the chance to contribute. Over the months of development with Horizon folks, I have had a great time experimenting and conveying ideas. And I'm happy to say that our joint effort is something that we are all proud of. While this heli is aimed to get people flying quickly right out of the box, it also offers a long list of features not found on any other ready-to-fly heli in its class. The result is a great-flying heli that belongs in everyone's fleet: the Blade™ CP RTF.
There was a long shopping list of requirements that we all wanted to achieve. High on the list was to provide the pilot with a great-flying heli that gives no-fuss enjoyment. I'm happy to say we accomplished this and much more with the Blade CP. Unlike other micro e-helis in the same price range, the Blade CP features collective pitch through a three-servo 120° CCPM setup and a transmitter that is aerobatic-ready with an idle-up switch. Add a stylish canopy with preapplied decals, and the Blade CP is sure to complement you as your skills develop.
So what do you get? Almost everything you need to get in the air just minutes after opening the box—only 8 "AA" batteries are required.
Included are the completely assembled heli, a 6-channel FM 72MHz CCPM transmitter, an 8-cell Ni-MH battery pack and a 2-hour wall charger. The Blade CP features collective pitch for better flying control and a unique "4-in-1" receiver/gyro/ESC/mixer combo unit that controls the three servos via the 120° CCPM setup, as well as the 370-size main motor and separate N30 tail rotor drive motor. The Blade CP is factory-adjusted with the 8-cell flight pack arriving partially charged for immediate use. The 4-in-1 receiver box has an adjustable pot for gyro gain control and tail-motor-to-main-motor proportional mix to allow the pilot to tune the Blade CP's tail rotor for his own flying style.

Memorial Day is a holiday set aside to honor those who have died in America's wars. Every year, many millions of Americans celebrate the day appropriately. At the same time, Memorial Day is also commonly seen as the beginning of summer. For lots of Americans, the day has no higher meaning than to fire up the grill and put on some burgers or brats.
There isn't much wrong with that, necessarily, but we should expect more from our commander in chief.
The White House's photo feed has long been criticized as narcissistic. No matter the occasion, it is always all about Barack. But this is an extreme case. Today, the Democratic Party tweeted "Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone!" What image accompanied the Democrats' holiday greetings? Here it is:

You might think that singling out one tweet is unfair, or that the Democrats surely must have gotten their act together after the inappropriateness of that Memorial Day tweet was pointed out to them.

There will be a future mining boom, as heralded in recent media stories. But this mining will take place in a location even more hostile than the Australian Outback – space.
More specifically, the ore bodies that comprise the myriad asteroids we now know are whizzing by our planet with alarming frequency.
The publicity blitz was provoked by the formation of a new US-based company, named Planetary Resources.
The company is backed by film director James Cameron and a host of well-known billionaires who made their fortunes in the aerospace and internet industries.Planetary Resources has a seemingly unlikely aim, yet one that has been obvious to space scientists for at least 20 years: to mine near-Earth asteroids, which are composed of a wide variety of useful minerals.
One thing perhaps not made clear in the media furore, is thepoint of this mining. It's not to divert the asteroids and bring them down to the surface of our planet, but rather to make use of their valuable constituents for utilisation in space.
When humankind starts its move off the earth we'll need to start manufacturing various products in space, including high-quality alloys and electronics. On the larger scale we'll also need to construct large, permanently inhabited off-planet islands and it will be near-Earth asteroids from which we derive the needed raw materials.
The reason for this is not a shortage of minerals and other necessary supplies down here on Earth, but rather the expense of getting them into space.
To get a rocket off Earth's surface and into orbit we need to accelerate it to a speed of over 7.5km per second (or27,000km/h). That is expensive, although launch costs have dropped in recent years to about US$10,000 per kilogram.
A cubic metre of water may cost you a few dollars from your bathroom tap, but the same volume would cost US$10 million to put into orbit. In fact, the cost would be even higher than that, due to the weight of the container needed to hold the water.
To send payloads further away, escaping Earth's gravity and going into independent orbit around the sun, requires more energy still (and therefore more money).

Are you familiar with the 3-episode rule? Well sometimes it isn't a true indicator of a shows quality. Such is the case with Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. It is quite strange because the first 3 eps act as a set-up for the basic plot and characters, yet it follows your typical magical girl tropes down to a tee. An ordinary grade schooler finds an injured animal from another world is all of a sudden thrust with ancient magical power and responsibility? This is by no means an original plot, but the execution is what makes Nanoha special.
The first episode begins with an introductory blurb narrated by Nanoha about daily life, tomodachi, emotional bonds, you know, all the "girly" things. After the OP plays, we see this DND looking LARPer guy running in a dark forest from this writhing, evil mass of fur? A furball? Whatever. He repulses the foul beast with a magic circle straight out of Kamen Rider Wizard and collapses. To be honest there isn't a whole lot that happens right off the bat here. We're quickly introduced to Nanoha's family, her friends and the school she attends. Apparently Japanese schools are hardcore because she goes to cram school, despite the fact she's 9. Shit when I was 9 I'd wake up early to watch Power Rangers Time Force and I really had no idea what anime was-
I'm sorry, please excuse me for getting sidetracked. So halfway in, Nanoha and her friends Suzuka and Arisa find themselves in an abandoned forest, with an injured ferret just lying there. The ferret can speak telepathically with Nanoha because OF COURSE they do, it's an unspoken rule: mind meld with magical animals. They take him to the nearest vet and before I go on, I must address something. Nanoha aired late at night over 10 years ago. One of the main reasons why it aired so late was because it contains fanservice. And I'm not referring to the adult characters. Nanoha's transformation into a magical girl contains shots of her in her underwear. There's no real nudity depicted but it's still super skeevy like as I'm typing this Chris Hansen fucking manifests out of thin hair with a gun pointed next to my head. This can all be blamed on Akiyuki Shinbo, this show's director. He worked on hentai in the past, and he also went on to work on the Monogatari anime series. So this was a major turn-off for me for years, because I tend to avoid shows with such "fanservice". Even on twitter I try not to retweet art that's too lewd as a principle. But enough about that.
There's another weird where Nanoha and her family are eating dinner, but I swear to god they blew all the animation budget in the worst way. How should I say this, all the movements are over-animated, it feels like a totally different show, it reeks of uncanny valley shit and poor, poor Nanoha starts shaking erratically. Like was this supposed to be cute? Moe? Was Shinbo on LSD? The world may never know.
So Nanoha and the ferret, whose name is Yuuno find the same monster from earlier terrorizing the nearest suburb, causing destruction in it's wake. Yuuno tells Nanoha he can lend her magical powers and give her the Raising Heart in the form of a jewel necklace. So Nanoha says a prayer, transforms, and accepts her new fate as a magical girl.
And that's episode 1. In most shows like this, the main character would usually freak out, perhaps with a loud, confused "ehhhhh???" Here Nanoha's reaction is much more subdued. Yes she doesn't exactly know what's going on, but she's also surprisingly calmer than most magical girl protags. And I think it's because Yuuno does a good job at both explaining the situation to her. Even though it has just begun, Nanoha is aware of her new role. As the show goes on, she does become more experienced.
Episode 2 begins exactly where we left off, with Nanoha right about to fight the monster. Yuuno explains that magic is essentially programs that must be performed and executed via the user's mental energy. This is quite interesting because we are now deviating from how magic is depicted in other shows. In shows like Precure, magic is wholly spiritual, and it can come out of things like the heart, or a magical trinket, wand, etc. But here magic is something artificial, something that must be executed with the mind. When the spell is executed, it converts itself into a physical force like a barrier or a laser beam. Raising Heart has an artificial intelligence, which allows it to speak in English. Did you know Raising Heart, Nanoha's weapon is voiced by Donna Burke?
"Raising Heart, onegai!"
Ha. Also we learn that monster is a "thought entity" and the only way to defeat it is to seal it. Yep. Now we see parallels to Cardcaptor Sakura, another show which has it's main character seal monsters. Only here the objects that need sealing are called Jewel Seeds, 21 in total. The giant angry furball is defeated, and Nanoha and Yuuno get to talk again sitting on a bench. Yunno feels sorry for dragging Nanoha into this mess, but she doesn't mind. They go home late, and you'd think her family would be somewhat upset she was gone for so long, but no. In fact, they even take a liking to her newfound ferret friend.
We get more exposition about Yuuno's backstory. The Jewel Seeds were originally magic stones that could grant wishes, but were deemed too powerful and unstable. In his homeworld he was an archaeologist who found them one day under the rubble of ancient ruins. He then told the researchers with him to hold on to them. Unfortunately the inter-dimensional spaceship carrying them met a terrible fate. All the Jewel Seeds were scattered over the world. Yunno also mentions it will take five days for his magical powers to come back. Nanoha asks him what will he do when they come back. He replies by saying he'll continue his search along, to which Nanoha counters, she won't allow that. She says she can't help during school, but she can help at any other time. Yuuno still feels sorry for bringing Nanoha along, but she knows how he feels. Because she knows how it feels to be alone. She doesn't want Yuuno to be lonely. And I think that's admirable. Now we know an aspect of Nanoha's character that was previously unmentioned, and will be further explored later on.
After that little heart-to-heart, we see Nanoha on her way home, interrupted by someone screaming in terror. Apparently the Jewel Seeds can transform living things into beasts, as we see a dog-like monster about to attack its owner. Nanoha rushes to the scene, transforms, and defeats the foul creature turning it back to normal.
Episode 2 is a bit better than the previous one, simply due to our heroes getting a bit more character development, but as I mentioned previously, the show isn't really breaking new ground. At least not yet.
Episode 3 is interesting because it is the first time Nanoha actually fails and beats herself up over an incident that could have been prevented. Not physically mind you, but she's sad about it, you'll see why. The actual episode is kind of forgettable otherwise. Nanoha has collected 5 Jewel Seeds up to this point, and she's exhausted. Yuuno decides that she take a break from this, because Nanoha also has to watch a soccer game with the team her father both owns and coaches. The team wins, and they all go out to eat to celebrate.
While Nanoha and her friends eat outside, she notices one of the soccer players take a Jewel Seed out of his back, and then walk by with his girlfriend. Nanoha thinks to herself "was that just me?" and then we cut back to them back home when can you fucking not
Why is anime like this. Not just this show but the medium as a whole. Was showing a 9th grader getting undressed really necessary? I'm sure the FBI is tracking my words as I type because my god. Chris Hansen has moved the gun from my temple to the small of my neck, he smells blood.
Anyway, she takes a nap, and we go back to our filler couple of lovebirds. Futbol Generico takes out the seed and gives it to his gf as a gift. Until the seed activates and causes a city-wide mass of trees. This really is episode 4 of Cardcaptor Sakura, huh. Nanoha transforms again and Yuuno explains how the seed are activated by humans who have a strong will and wish hard enough make the seeds show the greatest amount of power. And Nanoha comes to the realization that she didn't make up that boy carrying the seed, it was all real. She even says she could have prevented this wide-scale disaster. By tackling the root, Nanoha is able to shoot and seal the wood clow card- I mean jewel seed once and for all. This is also the first time we see Raising Heart change into shooting mode, able to fire long range magic beams. Nanoha sits with her knees up, gloomy over the fact she indirectly let this happen. Yuuno reassures her, saying she's been doing a good job and that she shouldn't look so sad. Nanoha finally decides she's collecting the Jewel Seeds not just for Yuuno's sake, but out of her own will and that she'll never let this happen again.
Ever heard the expression "the destination is more important than the journey"? Well I think it applies to this episode. It bordered on filler but it also gave us a better grasp of Nanoha's primary motivation now. Up until this point she was collecting just to help out Yuuno, but now there are greater stakes involved. Civilians got caught up and injured due to the jewel seed, there was massive property damage, and Nanoha being as young as she is has to carry this dangerous burden. If she can't keep the townspeople safe, who can? She made her first failure as a mage, yet she learned from it. She learned she cannot let anything like this incident happen again. This is her mission.
But life is unpredictable, life has twists and turns beyond our control. Episode 4 is the major turning point in this story, where we go from typical magical girl fare to an amalgam of magical girl and mecha conventions. A clash of wills and destiny. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha's true nature unfolds.
Episode 4 opens with a mysterious twin-tailed figure standing atop a rooftop in the dead of night. She speaks of an item called "Lost Logia" in the shape of a blue gem. On another rooftop, a giant orange wolf howls into the dreary, midnight sky.
Meanwhile at Nanoha's house, she and her family are invited to a tea party at Suzuka's mansion. Oh, how delightful. Where's the mad hatter? Oh by the way, Nanoha's friends Suzuka and Arisa are both rich. Because. There's even maids. Anime maids! That's got to be important, right? There's a scene where Arisa and Suzuka notice Nanoha feeling down lately. Suzuka says if there's something bothering her, she can tell them.
As it turns out, there's a Jewel Seed hiding in the bushes. One of the house cats grabs a hold of it and…. becomes a giant kitty. This is silly. Yuuno sets up a magic barrier than can slow down time or something i don't know, Nanoha gets ready to seal the seed within when out of nowhere the cat gets shot down by yellow laser blasts. Somebody call SPCA, stat. And who is this mysterious new rival?
Oh snap, here comes goth-loli batman. I'm kidding, this is Fate and she single-handedly changes the direction of the entire show. Her debut is really cool because now Fate is both the primary threat as well as a very important character in her own right. She seeks the Jewel Seeds just like Nanoha, but for a reason that isn't clearly defined yet. As they fight, Yuuno notices she's from the same world he is. We are still not sure what this world is. Also, while Nanoha and Fate are fighting, Nanoha would rather talk things out. She wants her feelings to reach out to Fate. Why? Because, and I'm not kidding:
They are around the same age and
She has pretty eyes and hair
You can't get any less heterosexual than this, folks.
Nanoha loses the fight, and Fate seals the jewel seed. The morning after the battle, Nanoha wakes up injured, telling everyone a white lie, that she merely tripped and fell. The last scene involves Fate and her wolf companion sitting in an illuminated building. She wonders if Nanoha has some seeds (which she does) and looks at a nearby framed photograph.
"Wait for me, Mother"
Fate is not evil, but she does fit the antagonist role at this point. As we'll learn later on, this story isn't just Nanoha's, but Fate's as well. This is merely the tipping point of a rollercoaster that will soon rapidly descend, twist and turn. But what about the whole "mix of magical girl and mecha" I was talking about earlier? Okay. Nanoha's color scheme resembles that of the original RX-78-2 Gundam. And Fate takes design cues from the Deathscythe in Gundam Wing. So the designers knew exactly who they're aiming for.
This was the first 4 episodes. Nanoha is a show that takes a while to get it's gears going. It doesn't "wow" you right away, but when it does, it really does. As we get into later episodes, the writing and characterization truly begins to shine.

Acquired through the Contemporary Collectors Director's
The Art Gallery presents Allegoria Sacra by the internationally celebrated artist collective AES+F. This spectacular video work is, in essence, a digital painting which seduces and overwhelms the viewer through its visual and aural splendor.
Allegoria Sacra is inspired and named after a painting by the Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, which is believed to represent purgatory. In purgatory all souls wait for the Last Judgment. For AES+F, the modern international airport, as a place where people are suspended in time and place, is the contemporary allegory for purgatory.
At the airport, strangers wait, united by their desire to move from one world to another. They simultaneously listen to flight announcements and watch departure boards, anticipating news of delays and departures – waiting, in a sense, for judgment. Yet despite the shared experience, everyone remains detached and self-absorbed.
AES+F apply music to their animation to intensify the prolonged sense of waiting. Compositions from Vivaldi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schubert and a contemporary Japanese composer Ryoji Ikeda are combined to create the affecting sound of purgatory.
AES+F exploit stereotypes throughout the work but do so to question the values of contemporary civilisation. Disconnected and self-absorbed 'Western' passengers are contrast with the militant solidarity between Chinese businessmen and the shared community expressed between a group of transit passengers from Darfur and Peshawar.
Signs of capitalism and the aspirations of a consumer society are overtly displayed through designer brands and in contrast to the 'ethnic' dress and essential belongings of people from developing nations. Significantly, the question of happiness in Allegoria Sacra remains an impossible one to solve, regardless of religious or cultural heritage represented - Christian, Muslim, Infidel, Hindu, rich, poor or dispossessed. Everyone lacks the passion of life.
The work then enters a dream sequence that flows from one protagonist to the next, with the
rational becoming increasingly illusive – in essence both mannerist and surrealist. The allegory
becomes increasingly more difficult to resolve and from this point it is evident that
Allegoria Sacra is the most conceptually rigorous of AES+F's three works to date.
