we headed out bright and early for the newport hill climb (and if i remember correctly, it was a BRISK 37 degrees!). alizah got to ride in the front seat between bobby and steph on the way out… and bobby's '64 buick housed the six of us quite comfortably.
when we first pulled in and got situated there were hardly any spectators so we spent the morning meandering the town, picking through all the vendor booths, checking out the sea of antiques, and occupying bounce houses without other little ones bumping about. by early afternoon our bliss changed into chaotic hustle and bustle and mae had to take shelter on julie's shoulders.
we finally made our way to the jail house to see what there was to see. the jail cells themselves were strange and beautiful - really - but the sheriff's chambers were the most interesting for me. of course, i loved the typewriter, the clothes, the KNITTING BOX, the sewing machines, and the LOOM!!! it was stunning. i could have moved in.
knitting box . wedding gown with bearskin shawl . children's clothes, bedding, women's shoes, and top hats
the sewing machine
jail cells and halls
the loom
i got a few pics of the library, but they just didn't do the experience any justice. oh, and did i mention i forgot my camera? ya. these are all iphone pics. lord. anyways!!! the books were guest logs, net worth of those standing trial, and medical logs. to read the itemised lists of a man's net worth was really quite enthralling. i even had to drag alizah out of there as she grasped for the table.
mae was given the great privilege of riding in the front seat on the way home. then she passed out. so did her sister and her daddy. what a group!
the hill climb was also really amazing to watch but i'm not one to take a bunch of pictures of cars and motorcyles when there are looms and sewing machines from the 1800's to be documented!

News & Events
My first-hand experience of Pivotal Payments' evolution from ISO to full Canadian processor
July 7 2017 |
Of all the experiences I've had over my 11 years working at Pivotal Payments, one the most extraordinary was witnessing the transition from a traditional ISO into a full processor. This had a tremendous impact in shaping our Canadian ISO partner program.
I'm often asked what sets our vision and strategy apart from other processors in Canada. My response? Our Canadian Partnership program was built by an ISO for an ISO. This single sentence has so much meaning behind it's worth taking a step back to appreciate the underlying implications.
We've been where ISOs have been and seen what they've seen. We have walked their path, experienced their joys and pains, and been in the same light or darkness. This wasn't an overnight process. We didn't just flip a switch to become a full processor. It was methodical, challenging, consumed many hours of development, both for infrastructure and business process re-engineering. We developed our own front-end platform. Became an Interac Association Direct Connector. Signed a sponsorship agreement with Wells Fargo. Grew and enhanced our Underwriting and Risk Management teams. Designed, developed and built our own payment applications per customer and ISO requirements. Built a next-day funding cycle that required an unmatched level of complexity with a uniquely designed process for reconciliation of funding files and prefunding of daily settlements. During this entire time, we never lost sight of the ISO perspective. (Still to this day!)
We soon came to realize that there was no true ISO program offered in Canada – in the real sense of the term. We believe partners should be provided with selling tools, support, training and products that empower them, not control them. They should be enabled to Independently Sell merchant services using the competences and skillset of their Organization. Since no such program existed, it was clear to us that Canadian processors had forgotten the fundamental meaning of an I-S-O. Instead, the only program offered by all other acquires was, in reality, a bonified "agent program".
There was no truly dedicated relationship manager who knew you and fully understood your business. No intuitive partner sales portal with your portfolio data and merchant information at your fingertips. No pricing control. No retention and loyalty support. No comprehensive boarding and underwriting guidelines. And no detailed transparency in commission reporting. Luckily for Pivotal's Canadian ISO partners, we have embedded all of these into our program and delivered them since day 1 of being a full processor.
When we were a growing ISO, we rapidly registered our brand so that we could represent ourselves as Pivotal Payments. But we soon concluded that our brand was never front and center of the merchant-facing experience. Merchants would be contacted by our sales reps, but the application would be 90% branded by the processor and 10% by Pivotal. They would sign up with us but their merchant statements would be 100% branded by the processor. They would log into their online merchant reporting portal but our brand was nowhere to be seen. They would call into customer service to ask questions about their billing and a customer service rep would answer by the name of the processor. Hence, when we created our program for registered partners, we made sure all of these were covered: branded applications, branded statements, branded online reporting, white label customer service and communications, and even a white label descriptor for the merchant's deposits on their bank statements. All of this to ensure our registered partners can put their brand in the center of all merchant facing solutions.
This venture has left me with a strong impression that if a business can evolve upstream in their industry, especially in the B2B space, the likelihood of its services being well crafted with their clients in mind is much greater. The experience of that organization has a direct impact on its ability to effectively be empathetic to its customers' concerns, needs and goals. I strongly believe this concept is proven through our ISO to processor evolution and the Canadian ISO program built out of it.

The Game That Can't Be WonSeptember 11, 2017
"It's the game that can't be won, only played."
– caddy speaking to a golfer, "The Legend of Bagger Vance"
Every day the dancer steps up, places their hand on the barre, and the work begins. There is an ironic, comforting solace found in the repetition of grueling exercises. Consistency is sought, yet musical responsiveness and individual artistry make the movements alive and unique. Ballet is a game played against oneself.
One summer, my parents phoned with shocking and devastating news: my dad was leaving my mother after almost 30 years of marriage. As an only child, I had always enjoyed a close and wonderful relationship with my parents. I was left reeling in confusion and pain. As hard as it was to go to work in the days and months that followed, I began to realize the blessing that ballet provided.
Ballet is a game played against oneself.
My company was my second family; and while surrounded by the support of my colleagues, I was on a very intimate journey, with dance acting as a great healer. It provided both a distraction — the absolute focus that class and rehearsals demanded prevented me from wallowing in my dark thoughts and worries, and an outlet — the incomparable feeling of freedom and exhilarating release I experienced when performing purged much of the hurt I held in my body.
That was almost two decades ago; but over the years, dancing continually provided a similar respite from difficult periods in my life.
This past summer brought harrowing events: the devastation of powerful hurricanes, hate-fueled violence in Charlottesville and Barcelona, and escalated threats from North Korea. It also gave us accounts of heroic rescues and a beautiful, awe-inducing solar eclipse. Life is unfailingly complicated and challenging; and as humans, we have a duty to be informed, engaged and compassionate members of the world around us.
And then, when we walk through the doors of the studio, we get to shut out everything in the name of our art, the game we play against ourselves.
It's a bit like Platform 9¾, where students board the train for Hogwarts. They are the same individuals as they were on the other side of the brick wall, but they've entered a different world.
When we enter Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, we are given a great gift: to immerse ourselves fully in the WORK. To put aside everything in our lives except for the task at hand. Ballet is a game that can't be won, only played. Like life. It is a continuous endeavor, a series of victories and setbacks, and we just keep pushing to be better. Along with the toil and disappointment comes great beauty and fulfillment, and we walk back out into the world stronger and better for it.
Here's to the new school year. Let's play.
Amanda Edge is on the faculty at Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. During her professional dancing career – at New York City Ballet and on Broadway – she attended Fordham University, where she discovered a fondness for writing. She works as a répétiteur for The George Balanchine Trust staging a number of George Balanchine works.
3 responses to "The Game That Can't Be Won"
Really wonderful writing Amanda! You have captured the ballet bubble perfectly!! Wishing you a wonderful year at CPYB.
Amanda, I love you. That was most heartfelt and fulfilling. Keep doing wonderful stuff!
I enjoyed reading your personal, thoughtful and well written words. I think about you often and hope you continue to find great meaning in your work and life. BH

In the 4th year running, the International Reggae/Dancehall & Afrobeats Superstar, Stonebwoy, would again stage a mega one at his home grounds, SakaSaka Park in Ashaiman. Over 35,000 crowd came through the 2016 edition regardless of a heavy downpour; it was recorded as one of the biggest outdoor events played in Africa in 2016. Shatta Wale endorsing Stonebwoy's concert is seen as a positive move by the former, who allegedly has been taking 'swipes' at the latter in recent times. Abeiku Santana broke the news on his Drive Tike Show on Okay 101.7fm on Friday, September 15th when he interviewed both artistes. Watch the full interview here on YouTube: Source - BennieWords

We Can be Sure Our Translations are Accurate
Some folks delight in destroying people's faith in all other translations except the KJV. Let me list some reasons below which prove we have accurate English translations.
Scholars can compare old Greek manuscripts and thus omit errors. For example, if two errors exist out of 1,000 manuscripts of the same text, then when they compare them all together, and they find in a certain place, two are different from the rest. They can assume the two are wrong and thus omit errors. In other words, they can compare Greek manuscripts and those few which do not agree with the vast majority can be assumed to be a copyist error.
You can compare translations. There are probably about 100 English translations today. They are made by different scholars and groups of scholars in different places and at different times. So when they all come up with translations that teach the same things, they must be right. All translations teach the same doctrines. There will be places or verses that will be different. In these places you can compare translations just as the manuscripts discussed above. In other words, you can compare translations, and the ones that are different from the majority, may be assumed to be wrong.
Each person who can read Greek can check translations to make sure they are right. There are those who are continually doing this. Our translations have been checked literally millions of times by these people. If there are discrepancies or doubtful translations in some verse, you can be sure scholars know about them.
A person can check the Bible for himself if he is interested enough to obtain a STRONG's concordance. With this book anyone who can use an English dictionary can check the meaning of any Greek word. Also, there are books on word studies that have the meaning of Greek words explained in English. Vine's Word Studies is a good example. Even a person who knows nothing about the original languages, can check the meaning of any Greek or Hebrew word and see if it is translated correctly. Many Christians are continually doing this.
God guarantees to preserve His word. By this we know we have God's word with us today. He does not promise to preserve His word perfectly in one particular translation as some people claim. The Bible does not say the KJV is God's perfectly preserved word.
God has made it possible for us to know exactly what He has said in His book. You can check out any doubtful verse for yourself if you wish.
Every translation is God's word in so far as it is translated correctly. Out of the 31,124 verses in the Bible, there are only about 200 or less that are even questioned, regardless of what translation you use or what family of Greek manuscripts you use. This means there are over 30,900 verses that are God's word. So in any translation you use, the vast majority of it is the word of God. This is why the KJV translators said, "The meanest translation is the word of God."
The differences between translations has been grossly exaggerated by some. The differences between families of Greek manuscripts have also been magnified and blown out of proportion by Ruckman, Riplinger, Waite, and others. These people make a lot of money appealing to the ignorance of God's people. The fact is, both the Textus Receptus and the Alexandrian manuscripts set forth every doctrine that God has inspired. There is no important doctrinal difference. It is the same with the different English translations. Peter Ruckman said he had problems with only 152 verses of the New Testament (THE CHRISTIAN'S HANDBOOK OF MANUSCRIPT EVIDENCE, page 89).
Some people go to great extremes to magnify the differences between translations and families of Greek manuscripts. These same people go to great extremes to play down the differences in the KJV and the Textus Receptus. In II Timothy chapter two, I counted 55 changes from the 1611 KJV to the 1769 version of the KJV that we use today. If you multiply 55 by 1189, (the number of chapters in the Bible), you can see there are at least 50,000 differences between the original KJV and the one we use today. The KJV Only people scream about the differences between the KJV and the NIV but excuse the changes within the KJV. They say the differences in the five major editions of the KJV were corrections in spelling, words, etc. The changes did not affect doctrine, they say. This is also true of the changes between the KJV and the NIV. However, the KJV Only group magnify the changes in the NIV and minimize the changes in the KJV.
The same is true when it comes to Greek Manuscripts. The KJV Only crowd screams about the differences in the families of manuscripts, but say nothing about the differences in the 18 editions of the Textus Receptus. Yes, there have been 18 different editions of the Textus Receptus with no two alike (some say 30 editions). When they say the Textus Receptus are the only inspired manuscripts, which edition do they mean? Why do the differences in the other manuscripts mean so much, and the differences in the Textus Receptus mean nothing? It sounds like someone is abandoning all logic and is trying to prove a point with no facts or Scripture.
When you read the Bible, you can be sure you are reading the word of God. Since God never promised a perfect translation, you may have to occasionally check some detail in the original or compare translations. But this is the exception rather than the rule.
The believer should read his Bible searching for blessings and to see Christ, not searching for flaws. Let the textual scholars work these few problems out.

In Part 2, Mike Meyers helps you understand all the pieces that comprise the modern computer: RAM, power supplies, hard drives, and peripherals. Though 220-902 focuses on operating systems and software, a solid foundation in hardware will help you understand how all the pieces fit together. In Chapter 5, Mike shows how to build a basic PC, and install a fresh copy of Windows.
Details about the CompTIA A+ certification and the exam blueprints can be found at https://certification.comptia.org/certifications/a.
- Working with RAM
- Choosing a power supply
- Understanding portioning
- Implementing hard drives
- Configuring USB
- Building a PC
- Installing Windows
Skill Level Beginner
(bouncy, energetic swing music) - Hi everybody, it's Mike Meyers, welcoming you to the Lynda Course, Putting Pieces Together. This is the second of six Lynda Courses designed to help you pass the CompTIA A+ 902 Exam.
Now this is kind of an interesting course, because the later courses are gonna get really deep into the operating systems and applications, and interconnections and stuff, so we really gotta put some pieces together. So a lot of you who've taken the 901 are gonna see some of this stuff again, 'cause well, you need it. So, in this case, we're gonna be talking a little bit more about RAM, a little bit more about power, but the big part of this course is our first installation of Windows. It's gonna be a lot of fun. For those of you following along in my books, you're gonna be looking at Chapters Eight, Ten, 11, and 12.

Lila - Age 1, Week 40 | Garden City, NY Family Photographer
You had such a great time up in Copake! You loved running laps around the house, playing with Daddy's old Fisher Price train, collecting rocks and pushing your cart around. You slept pretty well up there (except of course for the first night I was there!). We went to Bash Bish Falls (where this photo was taken) and you played around in the run off from the waterfall. We had to leave after a while because you kept trying to run straight into the water, which was actually kind of deep. And you got pretty mad when Daddy wouldn't let you go for a swim. We went over to Rail Trail instead and walked for a while there.
We are back home now and you were very happy to see all your toys and your own bed. We've been going for lots of walks and taking a bag with us so you can collect rocks. You have quite the collection now!
On Saturday you went with Daddy to a party at Aunt Lorraine's house. I hear you had a really fun time! (I had to work - boo.)
New words this week: cheese, bunny.

If you've ever considered throwing a Halloween Decorations for kids, why not let this be the year? If you do a bit of planning and some of the work in advance, your Halloween Decorations will be a big success! Halloween Decorations are great fun, and you'll probably find that the parents enjoy the Halloween party as much as the kids do. If you have an outdoor area like a deck or a carport, have the kids Halloween Decorations outside. An outdoor kids Halloween Decorations just seems more appropriate. Besides, if your Halloween party is outdoors, the kids can run, play, and squeal as much as they like. Outside is just spookier, too. Indoor Halloween Decorations just aren't nearly as much fun – unless you have access to a haunted house.
For Halloween decorations, you can use pumpkins, shocks of Indian corn, scarecrows, and cutouts of witches, ghosts, and goblins, along with any other Halloween decorations you might have on hand. You can find lots of cheap Halloween decorations at dollar stores. You can also have the kids help with homemade Halloween cutouts. Think spiders, bats, and grave markers. These are easy to trace on construction paper and then cut out with scissors. Make ghosts from old white sheets by draping the sheets over a ball. Suspend the ghosts overhead with fishing line. Cut out a large full moon and have a few paper bats flying in front of it. Use your imagination with your homemade Halloween decorations!

Original logo by Paul Rand for Yale University Press
My own interpretation for Wale
The logo on top of a great photo by Mark Seliger for GQ
Well Yale doesn't really equal Wale, but this was just a design that I put together while waiting for my little brother play his card game tournament. I packed the laptop, iPad and iPhone as a backup plan for the long haul and thank goodness there is free wifi here.
I had been reading this article on Brand New ( which is a great site and resource for all things branding and identity work. ) about Yale University Press and how they decided not to use the logo Paul Rand created for them anymore. Instead they are now using the primary Yale logo which can be viewed at the original article from Brand New here.
In my own opinion I like the Paul Rand logo and it's a shame they are not using it anymore. Having some spare time I have re-interpreted the logo for Wale, purely for a bit of fun and overlaid it on top of a great photo of Wale by Mark Seliger for GQ magazine.
Check out some of the photos from the article over at Nahright.

For over 40 years I've been involved in technology based roles from developing software and hardware products, product innovation through to product / project management roles in the telecoms, aerospace, oil & gas, and financial industries My change of roles has often followed my interest in a new technology, whether it was writing assembler for the first microprocessors in the late 70′s, micro-coding bit slice machines in the early 80′s, to the arrival of C++ and the promise of OO in the late 80′s or developing applications on small devices such as mobile handsets. I have been using EA since 2002 and it is one of the key tools I use to help organise my worlds. I am now semi-retired but still spending time helping others benefit from EA as well as mentoring small businesses.
New release of EA Installation Inspector (V4)
EXploringEA is pleased to provide an update to our free EA Installation Inspector adding a few potentially useful features for AddIn developers. For more details and to download look at our updated post in the community resources area. For those interested the source code is available at the EXploringEA GitHub.
New release of EA Installation Inspector
EA Installation Inspector V4
EA Installation Inspector (Version 4) is a small utility that provides information about the current version of EA and its AddIns.
Minor update that may be useful to some.
Version 4 (June 2017):
- Added a form to display a list of classes and methods provided by the AddIn DLL
Version 3 (September 2016):
- Additional registry locations checked for add-in keys
Version 2 (November 2015):
- Searches HKLM as well as HKCU for Sparx keys
- Provide a pop-up form to make it easier to view detail of an entry
The need
1. During the development and testing of EA AddIns it is all too easy to get an issue with an AddIn not loading correctly - typically, but not always, it means a value in the Windows registry is not correct or a DLL is not in the referenced location. Finding these issues by checking through the registry can be a time consuming task.
2. A customer installs your AddIn and it is not working as expected. So you want to get some concrete information on their installation. For most customers, asking them to check registry settings is really not a good idea.
The solution
A small windows program that reads the information from the registry, performing the relevant searches and presenting the information clearly.
EA Installation Inspector performs this task. Below is an example screen shot illustrating the AddIns status for the system. The colouring of the results provides important information on their status.
A user can double click an entry to present a summary for the seleted AddIn:
Then they can inspect the list of classes and methods provided:
Note: The output from this utility is based on my assumptions of what EA would do in looking for, and loading, AddIns. I do not have information of that process so I cannot guarantee that the utility will report on all relevant issues.
The attached zip file (EAInstallationInspectorV4.zip) contains the windows executable. Unzip the contents eaInstallationInspectorV4.exe and run.
It may be that you are unable to run the program due to Windows security policies that are set on your system. In that case you will need to get suitable permissions from your computer administrator.
Included in the attached zip is a document eaInstallationInspectionInformationV4.pdf which provides information about the utility functions and presentation of its results. This information is also included in the application, available through the help button.
For those interested the source is available on Github at https://github.com/EXploringEA/EAInstallationInspector
The functions provided in this utility are those that have helped me. They may not cover your needs - so do let me know if there are any other functions that you would find useful when developing and testing AddIns and I'll look at adding them into future versions of EA Installation Inspector.

Clearance dresses are final sale. This dress is FINAL SALE.
Some might say that florals for spring are terribly unoriginal but we say they're a classic for a reason! The beautiful dresses in this collection feature understated micro blooms that fall over the dress. These gorgeous blooms are delicate and feminie making a change from the bright and bold blooms that we've grown accustomed to. For this reason, we think these styles are perfect choices for more formal spring events when you still want to add a touch of whimsy. Showers and parties are just a couple of the places that we can see these dresses being worn but we also think these will make beautiful bridesmaids dresses for those looking to break into the floral bridesmaids trend.
This floor length maxi dress features ruffles framing the v neckline and a cinched satin waist. This dress is fully lined. The bust is padded. A concealed zipper up the back secures the dress in place. This dress is not stretchy. On most women this dress will be floor length.
Material: 100% Polyester
Dress Care: Hand wash in cold water.
Packaging: Our dresses are folded for faster shipping. Please use steam to remove any wrinkles upon arrival.
The material is really nice and I love the floral design. Dress is too long for me and a little on the small side but still a well made and beautiful dress. Wish they carried a few more bigger sizes though.
The dress is stunning and amazing. I love the airy flow feel it offers and the built-in bra. I purchased in the mint color and absolutely love the color of the dress and the floral print together.
This dress is so stunning in person! Really ethereal and floaty. It has built in bra cups and is lined, which is super nice. I'd say it fits true to size. I'll have to get it hemmed, it's really long. But, that's no big surprise since I'm 5'2". Overall I think it's an excellent value for the price! I bought the green, it is seriously so pretty. Very excited about this dress, I already have plans to wear it! Also, it shipped and arrived within a few days of ordering, really fast!

DVD about the birth and growth of mountain bikes. In the late 1960's and early 1970's a handful of hippie cyclists literally reinvented the wheel. These early pioneers scavenged frames from dumpsters and junkyards, lifted parts from road bikes and motorcycles to build a better way down the mountain. Little did they realize that their obsessive tinkering would ultimately lead to the birth of a multi-billion dollar industry and an Olympic sport. These modified biked became affectionately known as "Klunkerz". For anyone who loves the sport and wants a taste of the history, personality, and spirit of the first mountain bikers from back in the day, this DVD will be extremely entertaining and informative. Great footage never before seen anywhere.

That is what I have been doing whenever I get a chance to work on a route that I bolted a few weeks back in Unaweep. I am enjoying the process of crimping and lie backing and gastoning my way up the slightly overhanging route. As I link through the opening sequences and shake at the third bolt, I feel drained. After a quick shake I push into the next powerful and balancy sequence that forces a barn door move with tiny feet. After climbing to the stone on tiny side pulls, I move into the stem and STAB at poor under cling above. At that point I am exhausted from the stress of the moves below and significantly powered down. The next moves are total compression to something that I fear will never feel like a shake. Making the next clip begins a new strange and balancy sequence that requires me to crimp the tiniest if tinnies and lunge sideways for a hold. Compression and faith keep me on the rock. Soon I am resting on a sloper foot and another side pull. A crimp traverse and a powerful clip takes me to the final sequence. Lie backing under cling side pulls I gain the stance at the last move. Slopey slippery feet test my mettle as reach for a side pull that always feels too small. Hand jams and fists take me to the anchors and the fatigue sets in.
Oh to try it again and attempt to get a little bit higher before succumbing to the lack of power and finger strength.
The Unaweeper, as I am calling it will be a nice route to complete as I have learned to appreciate falling in that dark corridor one pitch off the deck that is lies hidden within.
Last moves to get to the jamming
Shaking out after the entry moves of the climb
Sticking the nasty little undercling.
Get outside and have some fun.

School's out for summer, but Kathryn Wilson still has cafeteria meals on her mind.
When it comes to choosing a career, there are plenty of things to consider. Location, pay and work-life balance are often thought to be the prime priorities in the modern job market.
Americans are among the best at many things - but saving money isn't one of them.
In the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, American parents seemed less inclined to wish for at least one son and one daughter than in the past. Some experts believed that was because gender roles were becoming less pronounced and predicted that such gender preference would continue to wane.
As someone who considers her friends some of the most important people in her life, I'm also very aware of what toxic friendships can do to your happiness. As human beings, we want to surround ourselves with people who are going to support, build and uplift us -- not drag us down.
Most parents hope their children will grow up to be well-informed, charitable adults who are politically engaged.
The public marriage proposal trend isn't new, but it is certainly thriving - especially in light of recent proposals where individuals have faked their deaths, staged a flash mob or created a new crossword puzzle to express their love for their significant others.
Moms have their fair share of ups and downs. And while no parent is perfect, we all know a mom who is just plain happy. You know the type. Her child spills grape juice on the white carpet - no tears. Her best mommy efforts fail royally; she laughs it off with ease.
Last year, it was reported that single people in America now outnumber married people. There are many theories and ideas about why this is. One might think that it would be easier to find a soul mate because of online dating sites, but it seems that this has changed our millennial mindset, making us pickier than ever.
I truly enjoyed being married. I liked having a partner in life, someone who was pegged to me. I appreciated having someone to say goodnight to. I enjoyed knowing that every moment of every day I was an important and integral part of another person's every moment of every day. I was comforted by having someone be that for me, too. I intended my marriage to last for life, and beyond. I entered marriage with the intent to stick it through no matter what.
Listening may seem pretty simple, but is in fact much harder than it appears. It takes certain skills to be a good listener; not only to others, but to yourself as well. A good listener can make others feel important, valued, appreciated and loved. Becoming a better listener may take some practice and refining of the following skills.
Amidst the pain that surrounded the recent church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, a heated discussion erupted over the nature of a symbol that has come to be synonymous with Southern culture: The battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Adulthood is much more than graduating from high school and having a job. In fact, adulthood might actually be out of reach for many people coming of age today, a new study shows.
Pinterest may be inspiring some people in more ways than cake decorating and home decor. According to a new survey, it's causing stress in about 42 percent of users hoping for the picture-perfect hacks and crafts seemingly achieved so easily by fellow pinners.
You can take your well-paying job and shove it, said the majority of American millennials.

The Seping are among the few tiny ethnic minorities that have survived assimilation by bigger groups and exist today as a distinct community, keeping their cultural identity and language intact. They claim to be the first group to occupy the Belaga River region and have left their mark on the landscape as proof of that. In 1956 they lived in one longhouse comprising 16 households at Long Koyan along the middle reaches of the Belaga River. in the early 1960s a major portion of the population migrated to the Tinjar River in the Baram District; four households, however, remained at Long Koyan. After almost twenty years on the Tinjar, the group that migrated there returned to their ancestral homeland on the Belaga River. Today, the Seping comprise three longhouse settlements: Long Bala with 28 households and a population of 205, Long Koyan with 8 households and a population of 56 people, and Mile 6, Belaga-Long Urun Logging Road, 4 households and a population of 23 people. The four households at Mile 6 comprise the group that did not migrate to the Tinjar.
The 4 households at Mile 6 insist that they are Bemali (Bah Mali of the Kajang group), a group culturally and linguistically related to the Seping, but in reality they are offspring of mixed marriages between Bemali and Seping, or Bemali-Seping-Kejaman. The Bemali used to live as a separate community, but due to a rapid decrease in population they merged with the Seping in 1956, at the single longhouse settlement at Long Koyan. Given their small number, and that they are offspring of mixed marriages involving Seping partners, they will be considered in this paper as Seping.
Oral History
According to an oral narrative by a Seping elder, Beng Lian, the Seping people are the original settlers of the Belaga River. Originally they comprised seven longhouses: two at Long Segiam, and one each at Long Seduk, Long Tegelem, Long Semakat, Long Belaan (in the Koyan, tributary of Belaga) and Long lga. A long time ago, a supernatural event took place: they killed a dragon and cooked it. Because of this, the seven longhouses either turned to stone or were swept downriver by a gigantic flood. All the people, except two, died. The two people were a brother and a sister. They fled up the Penyuan, a true left-bank tributary of the Belaga River. After years of roaming the jungle, they became adults, lived as husband and wife, begat many offspring, and revived a new community of Seping. They lived for many years along the Seping River, a tributary of the Belepeh which in turn is a tributary of the Murum that flows into the Balui. After living on the Seping River, the community moved back to their original homeland on the Belaga River, led by their leader Lakui. They reoccupied the Belaga River as one longhouse community.

LifeStyle - So you want to find a s3xy girl? Amazing smooth toned legs,a curvy butt that dips into her s3xy back, s3xy waist , s3xy beautiful breasts, and hot lips. Well first you need something to work with. We can't start from the top down! We need to work your way up with skills and style that will guarantee you a night, a week or years with an amazing woman.
Get your style to be able to start getting that attention. We never want to go over the top or just down right douche. Dress to impress, but keep it subtle. By doing this it says more than I am a s3xy man. It shows that you are an attractive man with style, but is also sophisticated and kind of mysterious. Every girl knows a guy in a bro shirt, bro hat, and Dickie shorts with a monster drink is going to be a punk. A cheap store where you can by your essentials such as shirts, shoes and pants is H&M, but if you also look at Ross you can find some really good buys.
Try going for a run and lifting weights so those clothes fit better and make you look more manly. Also most s3xy girls workout, which means if you impress them and start a little convo and then ask them out one day and show them your style and personality. BAMMMM you have yourself a s3xy girl.
Shave your face and trim your hair! Look like a star! Go for looks that girls already go crazy over. Chris Hemsworth, Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, and Channing Tatum.
You always want to smell good because we never know where we are going to meet or run into a s3xy girl.
Be confident and be yourself. S3xy girls get hit on by guys who are overconfident and come of as assholes or man whores. You want to come off as a good guy, but slightly mysterious so she wants more and more and more of you.
Find her. S3xy women are everywhere! The most attractive ones are usually considered the active ones. But you may like them a little different than me so just think about what you would want your s3xy girl to be doing(because you want to have some connection with her) and try out the place. If you like girls who can dance, go to a club with your new found confidence. Or if you like fit toned girls go on a hike in your local area. Most s3xy outdoors girls hike daily and usually if their single their with their dog which is also a great convo starter.
GO find her! Confidence and modesty will win a girl over (at least the girls you want to win) every time. Ok
May be useful, don't forget to share..!!

Increased Illegal Border Crossings a Concern in Western Balkans
Frontline police officers study the early detection of human trafficking and smuggling (FYR Macedonia)
By Katarína Lughofer
The Western Balkans emerged from the turmoil of the 1990s as a source of migrants seeking better lives in Western Europe. It then became a transit route for migrants from the Middle East, South Asia and Africa also heading towards European Union countries. In 2015 it again hit the headlines with thousands of economically hard-pressed Kosovar migrants seeking asylum in Hungary, Austria and Germany (IOM Press Briefing Notes, February 13, 2015).
But the ebb and flow of irregular migration in the region – its patterns, the pull and push factors and the availability of networks that facilitate illegal entry – continue to change. Fed by the war in Syria and lesser conflicts and economic hardship worldwide, the Western Balkan countries continue to serve as transit routes for migrants desperately trying to reach Europe.
While thousands continue to die at sea in the Mediterranean, notably between Libya and Italy, many of the migrant deaths in the Balkans – particularly in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia - occur on railway tracks. Smugglers tell the migrants to follow the rail tracks at night to avoid detection. Others try to hitch rides on the trains – often with fatal results.
The migration management as well as international protection concerns have prompted IOM and UNHCR to launch a Regional Initiative on Refugee Protection and International Migration in the Western Balkans to help governments in the region to develop and operationalize comprehensive national migration management and asylum systems.
Governments are facing an increase in the number of criminal organizations that facilitate smuggling of irregular migrants. The scope of their operations is also expanding as smugglers use social media and the internet to build their business.
While migrants are usually moved by public transport or in smugglers' vehicles, porous borders are usually crossed on foot. The smugglers are rarely present, making detection and apprehension very difficult. Limited financial and human resources on the part of governments also help sophisticated smuggling networks to thrive.
Studies carried out by IOM on irregular migration in the Western Balkans, include: "Feasibility Study on Irregular Migration in Western Balkans" (2013) and "Migration Flows in Western Balkan countries: Transit, Origin and Destination, 2009-2013" (2014).
The research shows that that the number of irregular migrants from outside the region has risen steadily since 2009. The main countries of origin have been Afghanistan and Syria.
Many of the migrants are cheated by the smugglers. A migrant from West Africa told IOM that he had paid EUR 2,000 to a smuggler to get him to the European Union. But the smuggler left him stranded in Serbia.
Countries in the region have enacted legislation and introduced mechanisms to manage irregular migration flows. But these interventions have typically taken place at the national level. While they form a legal basis for migration management, cooperation at the regional level is needed in order to effectively manage irregular migration flows.
The UNHCR-IOM Regional Initiative on Refugee Protection and International Migration in the Western Balkans initiative is a step in this direction.
The initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of States to address and manage mixed movements of migrants and refugees from outside the region in a more predictable, efficient and protection-sensitive manner. It hopes to foster national and regional dialogue, and practical cooperation.
The initiative aims to establish protection-sensitive entry systems. This involves mechanisms to differentiate among various groups of people on the move; the identification of those in need of protection; and their referral to the appropriate authorities.
Irregular migration has to be placed in a broader context of trans-regional cooperation between countries of origin, transit and destination. Investigations and prosecution of smuggling networks aiming at dismantling of criminal organizations should be coupled with a rights-based approach towards migrants, ensuring the protection of their rights and the provision of targeted assistance during their journey.

L.D. 503 Testimony MMA
Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research & Economic Development
Room 208, Cross State Office Building, Augusta, Maine
Tuesday, March 21, 2017, 1:00 p.m.
Good afternoon Senator Volk, Representative Fecteau, and Members of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research, & Economic Development. My name is Gordon H. Smith and I serve as Executive Vice President of the Maine Medical Association. I am pleased to offer testimony in support of L.D. 503, An Act to Continue the Doctors for Maine's Future Scholarship Program.
The Maine Medical Association (MMA) is a professional organization representing more than 4000 physicians, residents, and medical students in Maine whose mission is to support Maine physicians, advance the quality of medicine in Maine, and promote the health of all Maine citizens.
The MMA enthusiastically supports this initiative by Senator Katz, Representative Hymanson, and the co-sponsors of L.D. 503 and applauds the work of Dr. Peter Bates and his colleagues at the Maine Medical Center and the Tufts University School of Medicine, Maine Track Program to address Maine's health workforce shortage. Maine's health workforce shortage, and physician shortage in particular, have been exacerbated by the lack of a public medical school as part of its state university system. For many years, the MMA has been part of a group of public and private entities working collaboratively to ensure that talented Maine students have an opportunity to pursue a medical education and then build careers serving the people of Maine. Initially, Maine accomplished the goal of ensuring a medical education for some Maine students through an interstate compact subsidizing access to several medical schools in New England for Maine students. In 2009, the 124th Maine Legislature made a substantial investment in medical education for Maine students with the establishment of the Doctors for Maine's Future Program. Passage of L.D. 503 would represent another significant investment in medical education in our state.
As examples of MMA members' concern about Maine's health workforce shortage and for ensuring opportunities for Maine students to pursue a medical education, I have attached Resolution #3, To Encourage Maine Students to Pursue Careers in Medicine, adopted at the MMA's 2006 Annual Session and Resolution #1, Maine Medical Student Education adopted at the MMA's 2007 Annual Session. MMA members adopted the latter in anticipation of legislation creating the Doctors for Maine's Future Program.
Lastly, I would like to mention the MMA's long-standing contribution to medical education for Maine students. The MMA's IRC §501(c)(3) affiliate, the Maine Medical Education Foundation, makes low interest loans to medical students from Maine or with a substantial connection to Maine with the hope that they will spend their medical careers serving the people of Maine. Since its inception, this Foundation has loaned more than $5 million in support of medical education in our state.
Thank you for considering MMA's testimony in support of L.D. 503.

Is soap making you break out? Sometimes. Here's why:
The dirty truth is some soaps can cause more harm than good.
"Applying a harsh soap over time can cause a drying effect, and a change to the types of bacteria that normally live on the skin," Dr. Jeremy White, a Miami–based doctor and plastic surgeon, explains. "That can lead to acne, which begins when the tiny hair follicles become clogged with dead skin and oil."
The good news? There are a lot of mild cleansers at the drugstore that can actually help your skin. The challenge is knowing the difference.
Here's a three-step checklist before you head to your neighborhood pharmacy:
First and foremost, identify your skin type and look for the right ingredients.
For oily skin
"Cleansers with tea tree are fabulous, as are those with salicylic acid or glycolic acid," advises Dr. Tabasum Mir, a dermatologist in New York City. Avoid products with alcohol, which will over-dry your skin.
For dry skin
"A cleanser with coconut oil is going to be great," Dr. Mir says. Studies have shown that coconut oil's fatty acids are highly beneficial for nourishing acne-prone skin.
For combination skin
"In summer you want your pores to remain clear, so use a clean-rinsing product," says Dr. Mir. "In winter, combination skin is dryer. So consider a cleanser that is gentle and leaves your skin feeling soft."
Soaps can upset the skin's natural balance. "A soap's high PH creates the perfect setting for inflammation because they break down the protective barriers on the skin," explains Dr. White. "Once the defensive layer is penetrated, bacteria can go deeper into the skin, causing inflammation and acne."
The solution? Read labels carefully. You want to look for words like "non-soap," "non-alkaline" and "neutral pH."
Dr. White recommends using a gentle product like Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser twice daily, which will protect the skin's natural balance. "Cetaphil® has a non-alkaline pH between 6.3 and 6.8 and contains a moisturizer to aid dry skin," he says.
It's tempting to think you're done after washing your face. But you're not quite there yet.
After cleansing there are two more small steps. In order to treat acne and prevent future flare-ups you should look for medication with benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoids. We love the Epiduo® Forte (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel, 0.3%/2.5%, a powerful combination product that treats the acne breakouts you have and helps prevent new acne from forming.
The last step is choosing a moisturizer that is non-comedogenic, which means, it won't clog your pours. Scout out lightweight, non-greasy products like Cetaphil® DermaControl™ Moisturizer SPF 30.
So what are you waiting for?
Important Safety Information
Indication: Epiduo® Forte (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel, 0.3%/2.5% is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. Adverse Events: In the pivotal study, the most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥1%) in patients treated with Epiduo Forte Gel were skin irritation, eczema, atopic dermatitis and skin burning sensation. Warnings/Precautions: Patients using Epiduo Forte Gel should avoid exposure to sunlight and sunlamps and wear sunscreen when sun exposure cannot be avoided. Erythema, scaling, dryness, stinging/burning, irritant and allergic contact dermatitis may occur with use of Epiduo Forte Gel and may necessitate discontinuation. When applying Epiduo Forte Gel, care should be taken to avoid the eyes, lips and mucous membranes.

AGain in Python
Update: Things are moving on nicely with my first main attempt at wrapping the AGain demo included in the VST sdk to python using nothing but the standard python C API. So far I have everything implemented but the main process, for which I'll need to do a bit more reading on the numpy C API. Most of this was possible thanks to an easy tutorial by Jun Du over at codeproject.com.
More updates (and source code of course) to follow soon.
pyVST – still tinkering . .
This post is more a note to myself than a post of general interest. It is also to let people know that I'm still fiddling with pyVST now and then. I've been looking at how to build C extensions to python when using numpy using the following link. I've got these extensions working in windows by downloading the tarball and compiling the examples using codeblocks.
The examples are C extensions for a python script but what I'm aiming to do with pyVST, is get the plugin dll to start up the python engine and then pass each frame of the data buffer to a python script for processing. The C extension code will make a useful starting point for passing the data between the plugin dll and python. The aim is to make the plugin aware of its file name and then call a python script with the same filename to do the processing. This will eventually alow a user to make plugins without having to touch any C code. I've got a bit of time off at the end of this month, so maybe pyVST will get moving a bit more.
There is no documentation on the numpy extensions page for building on a Windows platform, so here is what I did:
- Download the tarball and extract
- Include the C source and header in your poject
- Include the numpy headers directory
- Link to the python library
- Add this missing line to the header file "static PyObject *rowx2_v2(PyObject *self, PyObject *args);"
- In the main source file, ptrvector() allocates n*sizeof(double), but should really allocate pointers to double; so: n*sizeof(double *)
- Set your compiler to build a dll
- Name the output file "_C_arraytest.pyd
- Put the output file in the same dir as C_arraytest.py and run
Hope this helps anyone googling C extensions for numpy under Windows 🙂
pyVST – A python wrapper for vst
Interpreted languages are an awsome way of realising ideas very quickly, even if you eventually want to hard code your projects in C. I've been looking into python more and more recently (since using SCons as my C++ build tool), and have been having some luck with the numPy package for efficient matrix and array mathematics (gives MATLAB type functionality, but for free). Python is also very easy to integrate with C code.
I'll try to get something up and running in the near future where you have a pre-compiled dll (and eventually the equivalents on other os) which acts as the gateway between your vst host and Python. This is intended to be a very similar project to jVST, enabling python programmers to achieve similar ease of development. I'm sure it is much better to worry about the DSP and sound quality of your plugin at first without the faff involved with the C++ language and constant compile, recompile cycles.
Keep watching this space and I'll keep reading up in my spare time and eventually start a source forge project or something similar. Should be fun!

We have access to International Buyers !
Whenever you are looking to sell your home it is only natural that you want the best possible price that is possible !
So when we are working with you to market your home our aim at Toop&Toop is to reach the widest possible number of people who are looking for a home just like yours. Lots of other agents say that these measures are "gimmicky" or "not needed", getting back to basics is all that is needed ! Sure, the buyer may come off a card in their window advertising your home, but would you want to miss the chance of reaching national & international buyers who may not be well versed in Adelaide prices and be prepared to pay more than it may be worth ?
In the last month alone at Toop&Toop we have had the following hits on our website from buyers looking for property in Adelaide :
And since August 2006 we have people all around Australia and the world using Google Earth to "fly" between houses listed with Toop&Toop as they search for their perfect home, just one of the many parts of www.toop.com.au
If it were me I'd want all of these "gimmicks" at my disposal to get the best price for my home !!!

Influenced Influence
Growing up without any full-time support or stability at home is a recipe for disaster. While you may have roof ovah your head, food on da table and clothes on your back, you still have to learn, grow and survive 'reality'. In da best situations, your parent(s) are there to instill core values that they believe in - and have been taught themselves - but wat happens wen they aren't around to supervise? With each passing generation, da situations are da same but how we cope with them is wat constantly evolves.
Wen I was growing up (specifically between 5-12 years old), we hardly evah spent any time indoors. We were always playing outside and most times it involved backyard sports back at da elementary school grounds or da district park: kickball, football, basketball, baseball, ping-pong - anything with a ball dat involved people. You learn 'rules' pretty quick and you most definitely learn how to 'survive' especially dealing with pick up games. No iPads, laptops or smartphones.
While I was a park rat, I still remembah something else dat helped 'mold' me wen I wasn't at da park: movies and da tv. While my parents were working 14+ hour days, da tv - at least back in da day - had much 'cleaner' content. Watching da shows and movies I'll openly admit dat I treated them as something to believe in, I related it to 'real' life.
Obviously da tv shows are like night and day comparing da 80's to now, even some of da "safe for kids" rating is pretty debatable. Movies on da oddah hand are always available no mattah how 'outdated' it may be. There are a few movies dat once they are of 'age', I'll force them to watch it with me cause no mattah how corny it may seem, it's still 'believable' if you believe in da message - or at least da message you interpret it to be.
My all time favorites and wat I got out of it during my hannah-battah dayz:
Stand By Me - friendship, loyalty, adventure, fun, trust
Goonies - same as above
Princess Bride - true love
Sorry wasn't a Stars Wars (sci-fi) fan
Poltergeist - will nevah watch static tv and constantly will question if anything was built ovah a graveyard
The Little Mermaid - it was like da 'first' animated movie and automatic date movie LOL
The Outsiders - toughness, survival, family, profiling, get chance
Top Gun - F14's, motorcycles, testosterone, need I say more? And da 'scene', it's why guys.... wanted to be a Naval Aviator. LOL
Karate Kid - 'Asian' values, humility, shut up and learn, there's a method to da madness
Even classic tv shows Family Ties, Who's The Boss, Silver Spoons, Different Strokes, 21 Jump Street, Family Matters, Growing Pains, Happy Days and of course MacGyver! If you don't know MacGyver,
Wassup Wit Dat!
I was nevah into da "fake" stuff and I intertwined da 'ideals' of these shows which paralleled my upbringing and vision from my parents..... but who listens to parents? lol Lo and behold, still till today, I still believe all those 'messages'. My dream is to one day share with my keikis' a bowl full of popcorn and kaki-mochi watching Stand By Me and hoping they are influenced da same as I have been..... in between checking their text messages and FB of course.
Have you had any movies, wen you was growing up, dat influenced you? Do you have one, two or more movies dat still will stir your emotions? Wat about any tv shows? Did you watch for 'entertainment' or did it feel 'real'? I can't believe I still use some of da tag lines today.....

This is a much loved and classic chicken dish in Chinese cuisine. This invigorating dish combines different textures in an appetising and sweet/spicy (from the ginger wine) broth. The fragrance of the wine is essential and hence it is a good idea to get your ginger wine from a reliable source. If you want this dish to be halal, you can follow the steps I will provide below but use halal mirin and chicken broth instead.
We usually like to add wood ear's fungus which provide good crunch and copious amounts of old ginger to add to the dish. This dish also belongs to the 'heaty' types of Chinese food and is especially good for one who is down with the cold. This is also probably due to ginger's widely recognised healing qualities. I hope you do give this a try soon!
This recipe is part of my Yuen Chun Recipes, an ongoing project on this blog.
1/2 chicken, cut into pieces or alternatively use 2 chicken thighs
Handful of wood's ear fungus, re-hydrated and sliced
4 cloves garlic
6 slices ginger, slivered
1/2 bottle ginger rice wine (this is usually already sweetened)
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (I used Yuen Chun's)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Firstly, heat up your wok until almost smoking. Add 3 tablespoons oil and swirl to coat. Turn heat to low. Add garlic and ginger slivers. Fry till aromatic.
Add wood's ear fungus slices. Then add chicken pieces. Give everything some quick stirs and add in the ginger wine. Bring to a boil. Add light soy sauce. Turn heat to medium and cover. Allow to cook for about 20 minutes. Lift cover and do a taste test. Add more soy sauce if necessary. Finally add the sesame oil.
Serve hot with rice or on its' own.

Pearls are known to have been used in jewelry for over 6000 years.
Physical Characteristics
Hardness: 2.5 - 4.5
S.G: 2.70 (fresh-water up to 2.74)
Size: from microscopic to many centimeter diameter (rare)
Luster - typical pearly luster is termed "orient"
A variety of colors, depending upon the type of mollusc and the water composition (polluted water produces unusual colors)
Body color: underlying color: white-yellow (cream), black
Overtone: "float" (resembles a filmy lacquer): pink / green / blue
Together, the conchiolin and CaCO3 are referred to as nacre. Nacre consists of a series of alternating layers of conchiolin and crystals of CaCO3. The CaCO3 is in the crystal form known as aragonite. The typical iridescence of the pearl is due to the series of nacre layers. This is referred to as 'orient'(iridescent effect due to overlapping nacreous plates)

Summary: what makes a pearl a pearl?
Pearls are produced by a variety of organisms, commonly sea molluscs. They are also produced by fresh water mussels, and occasionally, by snails. Some examples of pearl-producing oysters (you don't have to remember these) are:
Natural Pearls:
Concentric layers of CaCO3 are deposited around an irritant. This may be a piece of mantle lobe or some other material. Only the mantle lobe can secrete nacre. When a piece of mantle lobe is introduced by some accident into the tissue of the oyster, the oyster forms a bag known as a "pearl sac". It is this sac that secretes the nacre around the irritant to make the pearl.
Thus, pearls are calcareous concretions. Some natural pearls have quite unusual shapes. These are often called "baroque" pearls.
Both saltwater and freshwater pearls consist of the same material and can form in "baroque" shapes. Unless you are quite familiar with the typical characteristics ("look") of pearls from certain specific sources, it would be very difficult to know whether a given pearl was saltwater or freshwater in origin.
Probably the most common freshwater pearl on the market is the Chinese freshwater baroque, some of which are crinkily and look like crisped rice. These have been very popular in recent years because they cost dramatically less than Akoya cultured pearls.
Blister Pearls:
Blister pearls form on the inside of the mother of pearl shell.
Cultured Pearls:
Oysters and mussels are induced to make pearls. The result are termed "cultured pearls". Maybe 90% of the pearls sold are cultured.
If you break a pearl open you will see that it consists of a bead covered by a thin layer of nacre. The culturing process involves inserting a small piece of mantle lobe and a bead made from mother of pearl shell into the tissues of a pearl-producing mollusk.
The mollusk treats the bead as an irritant and the mantle lobe tissue begins to deposit a nacreous coating over it.
Here is a description and some photographs to illustrate the process. The photographs were taken at the Mikimoto Pearl Museum, Toba, Japan:
· Oysters are raised in a tank, allowed to attach to fibers, then grown in sea water for two to three years. Growing oysters are suspended in cages hung from rafts. They feed on plankton. Healthy oysters are selected for pearl cultivation.
· The bead is prepared. Mikimoto use Pig toe clam shells, from the Mississippi River. Small balls are prepared from pieces of these shells. An example of amother of pearl bead.
· Living oysters are wedged open and a piece of mantle lobe harvested from an other oyster, plus a bead, are inserted into the soft tissue. This image shows insertion of mantle tissue and bead. Here is a labelled version of this image, showing the important components.
· This image shows the oyster source of mantle tissue, the cut up pieces of mantle tissue, and the mother of pearl beads. A labelled version of this image is given here.
· Oysters are then returned to the sea, where they are suspended in cages 7 - 10 feet below the surface. They are maintained and harvested after some time. The culture period used to be ~ 3.5 yrs, producing ~ 1mm layer on the bead, but now the culture period may take less than 2 yrs.
The commercial production method is now known as the Mise-Nishikawa method.

Weird Science Roundup: Dead Space Monkeys and Suicidal UFOs
• Forget Graceland: If you're in Huntsville, Ala., be sure to visit the graves of spacemonkeys Able and Baker, the first monkeys to survive a space flight. You can find the graves easily—they're strewn with bananas.
• If you're reading this, you have a UFO to thank—at least according to a Russian scientist, who claims an alien spacecraft saved earth from an approaching meteorite by smashing into it a century ago.
• To test whether beer or a joint does more damage to driving skills, researchers got students drunk, or high on marijuana. The results? Stoned drivers drive significantly slower than drunk ones, but—surprise!—both groups drove less safely than their placebo'ed peers.
• Think you're smart? Not compared to this 16-year-old Iraqi. It took him only four months to solve a math problem that had been baffling academics for 300 years.

Libraries Boom as Banks Swoon
Unemployed, bored, flock to havens of free information.
Even as Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C), 2 of the biggest banks in the world and the erstwhile pillars of our economy fight for survival, the business of handing out information for free is booming.
The Wall Street Journal reports public libraries around the country are experiencing a spike in attendance, confounding skeptics who thought the Internet would render these time-honored community centers obsolete.
The recent increase in library use isn't necessarily surprising: Free Internet and other resource materials attract the unemployed and others long on time, short on income-producing work. Libraries often see attendance spikes during recessions. Library administrators, eager to retain their position as a public media source, have also begun carrying videogames and DVDs to attract younger patrons.
Libraries offer a quiet place to work, away from the clutter and distractions of home. My younger brother, for example, recently completed the challenging task of finding a job in an abysmal market. After a morning gym session, he schlepped his computer to the local library for a few hours of diligent job hunting. The change of scenery (let's face it, even hanging out at the library is better than living at home at 26) allowed him to focus on the task at hand, leaving the rest of the day to enjoy the freedom unemployment affords those deft enough to seize it.
The flood of new patrons is straining library staff, as already tight budgets are hacked away by municipalities' financial troubles. This is a trend we are only beginning to witness, as our economic woes chew into public funds at a time when coffers are running dry.
Our federal government is aggressively ramping up its support of our economy, asking public employees to implement a mountain of new programs and initiatives, despite the need to slim down payrolls in the face of weak tax revenues. Government is already notoriously lousy at implementing, well, anything, so to say the execution of President-Elect Obama's ambitious economic stimulus package will be challenging in the current environment is an understatement.
A return to the library is also evidence of the broader deflationary forces at work in this country, and indeed around the world. Libraries are the ultimate deflation trade: They're free. Consumers are trading down in their purchasing options - the only difference between choosing McDonald's over the Cheesecake Factory and playing Wii at the library instead of at home is the increased calorie count.
