20 years ago, scientists created the element 111 - Roentgenium
20 years ago, scientists created the element #111. Who would care about an element that lived less than one second? Read how our life is obligated to another element whose life is billions of times shorter.
Today, we celebrate 20 years as a team of scientists led by German physicist Sigurd Hofmann who created a new element #111 called Roentgenium. We say created and not discovered because this element did not exist on our planet before. How can you create a new element? You take two lighter nuclei (in that case, it was element #83 and element #28), accelerate one of them and smash it into the second. If you choose the right speed, which is fast enough to break the repulsion barrier, but not too fast to blow up all the protons and neutrons you could get a new element.
That is what they did in the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research near Darmstadt, Germany. Just three atoms of the new element were produced which decay in less than one hundredth of a second.
When you create a new element, you have to wait until independent experts could reproduce your experiment before the new element is officially accepted by IUPAC and a name is given. It took ten years for Roentgenium to be officially recognized. Before that, the element was known under a temporary name "Unununium". Which is based on its number 111: un (one) un (one) un (one) ium. There are five elements now that do not have their names yet and are known under their temporary names:
- Ununtrium (#113)
- Ununpentium (#115)
- Ununseptium (#117)
- Ununoctium (#118)
- Ununennium (#119)
Almost all of them were first created by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.
Why should anyone care about an element that decays much faster than the time it takes you to blink? I do not know how this particular element could be useful but let me show you one example of how the existence of our life is obligated to another element wherein its life is even shorter, billions of times shorter.
The story will be about element #4 - Beryllium. Most of beryllium existing has 4 protons and 5 neutrons. Such beryllium is stable and does not decay. However, there is another form of beryllium, which has 4 protons and only 4 neutrons. Such beryllium-8 is very unstable. The half-life is less than one billionth of a second. Nevertheless, if it would not exist, the entire world as we know it would be very different.
As you know, only the lightest elements hydrogen and helium were produced during the big bang. All the other elements are produced in stars. Right now our Sun is producing helium by fusing hydrogen. When the star starts to run out of hydrogen to fuse, it starts to collapse. The temperature increases to a hundred million degrees to create conditions for helium to fuse. The next stable element that can be formed from helium is carbon-12. It requires three helium-4 to fuse. The chance that three helium nuclei meet together in one place is very low. If two helium nuclei collide they form beryllium-8 which, as was said, is very unstable and lives less than one billionth of a second but this time it is big enough that there is a chance that the third helium will collide to form stable carbon-12.
It is a short story of how the existence of carbon and all heavier elements that form life on our Earth and the Earth itself depend on one element beryllium-8 where the half-life time is less than 0.0000000000000001 seconds. Does it answer the question of theelement #111 Roentgenium could have any influence on our life? I do not think so. However, things are often not as simple as they seem when we think if some knowledge is useful or not. Maybe now you will be more interested in watching a short video about the creation of Roentgenium that happened 20 years ago.

Seven months old, Really??? Time is going by so fast!
Tipping the scales at 13 pounds, Capri is a little lady.
To say that Capri is a mama's girl is a big understatement. She will only let me hold her. She will give daddy about two minutes and then she is done. She does a great job of making me feel special.
At six months old if someone was holding her and I went to go "save" her she would clap for me. Now everything is worthy of clapping.
She is so close to crawling and pulls herself to standing. Normally I welcome the idea of my babies being movable but this time around I really just want to keep her a baby just a little longer.
Clapping in action.

When summer meets the rolling, unglaciated hills of Wisconsin, the heat and humidity inextricably rise in the land Frank Lloyd Wright called home. The songbirds sing out and the mosquitoes buzz in their mad bloodthirsty dash at twilight and dawn in Spring Green for as certain as the season is the promise of hundreds of anxious patrons looking forward to the outdoor spectacle of theatre at American Players Theatre (APT).
With such an appropriate acronym, APT continues to mount stellar productions in two theaters - one, a 1,089-seat outdoor amphitheater and the other, an intimate indoor arena of more than 200 seats. With an annual budget of more than $6 million and a dedicated core staff, the company's repertory of as many as nine plays attracts more than 100,000 people to this quaint and sleepy town from June through November.
In recent years, the American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA), the professional organization of theatre reviewers, writers and journalists, has held its annual conference in cities like San Francisco, Philadelphia and New Orleans. This summer, however, they have taken to the Wisconsin woods to partner with APT so that its membership could take advantage of five of its offerings: Shakespeare's As You Like It, Eugene Ionesco's Exit the King, Athol Fugard's Blood Knot, George Fuquhar's The Recruiting Officer and Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday.
In addition to the lifeblood of theatre offerings, APT has brought dozens of its own staff and nearby theatre critics, artistic directors, theatre podcasters and designers to inform and inspire ATCA attendees. Among the topics covered were sessions on copyright law, racial equity, period comedy productions and what is happening in the heartland of theatre in America's dairyland.
The beautiful setting of The House on the Rock Resort replete with a Bobby Jones-designed golf course has served as the nexus for ATCA's members to engage in heated debates about the future of the organization and its direction. Members are passionate about the organization, but in these perilous times when traditional journalism has given way to modern means of expression on the Internet and through social media, there are questions that must be posed and the very nature of theatre criticism examined.

Followers of Jesus
As followers of Jesus, Vanier writes, "tonight, tomorrow and the next morning, we must put ourselves in the perspective of refinding Jesus." When we are rich, when we are known, when we have friends, or when we are members of respected groups, we are never really oppressed. On the other hand there are many without work, with no security, living off meager wages, living day by day in unbearable situations of fear and anxiety, with children sick or other dependents. We know these situations. Each of us have met them: they are in the cities, they are all around us. Vanier points out that what is frightening is that the disciples of Jesus are so frequently in comfort. He asks two questions: on which side of the road is Jesus? On which side of the road are his disciples? In Followers of Jesus, Vanier invites us to listen to those on the margins and be transformed by them.

September Obsessions!
As an artist, extreme emotions are 100% how I live. So, this is, naturally, a list of total obsessions from September. Please, obsess with me!
September was an incredible month for me! I feel like I took huge steps towards being the woman and business woman I want to be and if the weather would have just chilled up a tad it would have been that much better. Because then I could have worn super cute and fab fall clothes that I love! Who's with me?!
Well, oh well, here is the list of absolute, total, complete, obsessions I had this month!
Snapchat got some super fun filters! I was kinda obsessed with them!
Shreveport got a Snapchat filter! Ok, Clearly I am kinda obsessed with Snapchat this month. #SorryNotSorry Follow me! @kimberlyaker21
Instagram let us finally post pictures that are not square!!!! AH! I was happy about this as a photographer. I can post a picture from a photo session without running it through No Crop. Sad for No Crop. Happy for me!
Alanis Morissette, Justin Timberlake, John Legend, and Selena Gomez joined T. Swift on stage!!! Ok, this was technically in August. But, it was like, really really late August and, well, whatever. I was really happy about that. I, like way fan-girled out on this!!! I screamed while watching the video of her and Justin on insta (I was home alone so no one freaked out at my screams. Promise.). Because it's exciting to know she really really really should be my best friend bc we love all the same people. And I totally wish I had been there. You just don't know. #ICannotEven
Taylor Swift's new music video for "Wildest Dreams" came out!!!! And then I fan-girled some more. Ok, this was also in August. But, again SUPER late August. And, whatever.
N.O.R.L.A. Fundraising Prohibition-Themed Party y'all. Ok, I am obsessed with the 20's and I love supporting projects to boost and restore Shreveport. So, obvi I was there. Just like last year. My sister and husband came with and we had a blast at Ernes't Orleans Restaurant. It was amazing. And a session with MGP was one of the raffle prizes and a super-fab girl named Jazmin won the session! Go girl!!!
I got some dream outdoor furniture at an estate sale. Because estate sales are where life is at! It needs a bit of work, but, I am obsessed!!!!
I blogged my amazing grandparents session and cried while writing it and then made my husband and family cry too. Sorry guys, it's not my fault they are such amazing humans and made y'all cry :/ blame them!
My super-adorable and handsome husband won a hockey tournament where he played 6 2 period games to raise money for slain Officer Thomas LaValley. And I nearly cried about that. Because I am a dork!
I watched a really amazing documentary on 9/11. It was moving. Aka we cried. And we loved. Love is the healer of all brokenness.
I found the most amazing phone at the same estate sale. Like, an old fashioned and gorgeous phone. #IDie.
And then there's these amazing journals I got that I spent way too much on but I do not care because they match my brand colors and I take a lot of notes as a business owner and creator of things. So, oh well. I am...obsessed!
National Coffee Day. That was September 29th. It was an amazing day! #CoffeeIsLife

In 1976 Boston released its first album on Epic Records and today it has sold over 17,000,000 units in the states. Perhaps you bought it for the first time on vinyl, then again a year or two later on 8-track so you could listen to it in your 1978 Pontiac Trans Am, then again on cassette in the early 80's so you could enjoy it on your Sony Walkman while jogging in a neon colored headband, then again on compact disc in the late 80's and you finally bought it for the last time in 2001 from iTunes so you could enjoy it on your new iPod. Well the record industry sure got you on that one, didn't they? Perhaps or perhaps not…Maybe it was the technology industry? Truth is we'll probably never know, but what I do know and what we are about to discuss from personal experience is that I've seen a significant shift in CD sales lately. The big box stores like Target and Wal-Mart only have one aisle or less dedicated to music and we are witnessing the closing of corporate and independent music stores in our area. By the end of this blog I'm sure you will agree that it is safe to say: "The writing is on the wall".
From the beginning of 2016, I had made numerous attempts to raise money for a new studio CD and subsequently failed. Actually, I was lucky enough to raise just about enough money to buy a high-quality microphone and considered that a sign to convert a room in our home to record the next CD by myself. It was both challenging and frustrating learning to do everything alone, but I think the dedicated listeners will agree there was a significant reward in the sound of the final product. A few months into the recording, I had the opportunity to do a few shows as the opening act for The Whispers whom you will hopefully remember for their radio hits And The Beat Goes On and Rock Steady. Each show I played a short 45-min solo set and afterwards I ran my own merchandise table for the rest of the night where I had 5 different CD's and t-shirts for sale. In those audiences were some of the nicest people ever, who offered to buy one or even two of my CD's but they always asked: "Which one is your favorite?". I had a clever reply where I would smile and say: "Well that's like asking which one of my kids is my favorite?", but truth is it made me think…Maybe a some kind of greatest hits CD would be a good idea in these scenarios, but calling it "Greatest Hits" seemed really contrived to me. After all none of my songs had really been a "hit" per se and I felt that it was a little too early in my career to put out something that sounded so final. However, I had to remind myself again that I failed at raising funds for the new CD and I knew that if I was going to go through with it, it could only be a collection of fan favorites. So, I put together a CD of road tested, tried and true songs that included the three singles I released on iTunes only and I even found a song that was previously unreleased from the SEGUE sessions. I self-designed and ordered a limited number of the CD and called it THE FUSE, hoping it would help raise the money that I needed and that it would also serve as the perfect gift from full-time supportive fan to a first-time listener.
Fast forward to today, THE FUSE thankfully sold out in 6 months! Using the profits from that experiment I was able to finish GUITAR&B which began shipping in July of 2016 and now I have already begun the recording process for my next studio album STRIDE (2018). BUT! Just like in the previous paragraph something happened at a show recently that will delay the next studio release. BECAUSE! For the first time in almost fifteen years I entirely sold out my product case at a festival performance this July. So, it's hard to once again say to you that CD's sales seem to be tapering off, but they actually are if you are a looking forward type of person like me.
Let me once again bring up the technology industry. The Mrs. and I went shopping for new vehicles last summer. She was driving a 2009 and I who was driving a 2010 were both shocked to find out that most new cars do not have CD players in them. Matter of fact, in March of this year Forbes magazine published an article with a headline of: It's time to say goodbye to the CD player in American cars. Around the same time that I read the article, I was also shopping for a new studio computer and was again surprised to find out that they were also coming without CD ROM's. So, here's me in summer of 2017…all my previous CD's are sold out except for the most recent one. Reordering those 5 CD's would cost me close to $10,000 and the technology industry is unofficially "phasing out" the much-needed players for the product that I'm trying sell? At that rate, I could end up with $10,000 in idle inventory sitting on my storage room shelves. I'm sure that you have seen by now a webzine story or two of the musicians facing these facts and how they can no longer rely on mailbox money from sales and royalties. In case you didn't know, royalty checks are issued bi-annually and that type of income is quite difficult to judge and rely on for guys at any stage of the game. Let alone a more recent article published in Quartz Media on Donald Fagan of Steely Dan where the headline reads: With no more income from album sales, a 69-year-old rock legend has to go back on tour. Now I'm sure someone reading this will debate and say: "There's a huge resurgence of used record stores all across America with new and younger listeners buying them." While that may be true, let me remind you that artists don't get paid a second time if their record, tape or CD sells in a used music store. Especially to someone wearing skinny jeans, a cardigan sweater and a handlebar mustache. Nope, that's pure profit for the owner of the store usually leaning towards the 100's of percent or more. So, yes that "…69-year-old rock legend has to go back on tour" to stay afloat.
I'm not entirely like other musicians on this topic, I think streaming services like Spotify have their place, but I wholeheartedly agree (as an artist) that the payout per "spin" is more than embarrassing. Granted I'm just like you, I'm not crazy about commercials and I completely disagree with paying for a premium service to avoid these commercials. I mean think about it, big corporate company X is paying to advertise on Spotify and customer X is paying for Spotify Premium to avoid said commercials. Talk about double dipping! Let me add that Ray Charles is my favorite artist to use against the streaming argument, I have so many great Ray Charles records from the 50's- 80's and most of them are not on there to listen to. Matter of fact, if you search Ray Charles you will see: The Ultimate Collection, The Best of Ray, Ray's Greatest Hits, The Ray Story and many more compilations thus leaving off the album deep cuts. To add to those first two points, since 1999 I have always asked people "What kind of music do you listen to?" and somewhere around 2010 a significant number of people started saying: "Oh, a little bit of everything". First off, that's the blandest statement ever and secondly I have a theory of why…I think that this is the result of iTunes playlists and streaming services. I think so few people are giving music a chance to grow on them, and they keep listening to all their favorite songs over and over again. If you will remember back with me to your 8-track days when we were stuck listening to all the songs on the only 4 programs it had, sometimes those in-between songs grew on you and worse yet you couldn't even hit rewind to hear it again, but at least you were exposed to them long enough to catch a fancy.
Here's the Spotify payout per "SPIN" for my song The Spark Has Faded Away
I've decided to use this headline because I'm feeling the enemy closing in and I'm hoping that maybe we can forge a compromise? I've decided to make a new CD and it could quite possibly be my last physical CD for sale. I'm calling it MEDLEY, it will be the official compilation of Mick Hayes songs 2005-2017 with 2-3 unreleased songs added to it. From now on my previous albums SEGUE-CAFÉ ARTISTRY will be available on Dropcards only at shows. Dropcards are a physical product with a digital media download for customers to buy and a way for musicians to still earn money at each performance. This way if a customer only buys the MEDLEY CD and a song curiously grows on them, that whole album will be now be available on Dropcards for them to purchase the next time they come to a show. As much as I hate to see CD's, music stores, CD players both in home and in cars going away, they are! My advice to those of you like me with extensive collections that are over 20 years old, don't throw them away because of so-called "technological advances". You will regret it! Just go out and buy a brand new CD player today and leave it brand new in the box under your bed for the day that your current player dies.
FAN CHECK: Which MH CD's do you have?

You probably don't want to go fishing with this particular piece of art, but what it represents is a long-held tradition in Newfoundland, eastern Canada.
The cod jig is a fairly simple piece of fishing equipment. The line which is wound around the wooden hand-reel has a weight and hook in the shape of a fish attached. Fishers unwind their lines from their boat - traditionally a small wooden boat called a dory, lowering their hook down into the ocean depths - and hopefully next to some hungry cod.
Now cod are what we call a demersal species - which means they tend to live near the bottom of the ocean (though they will come up higher in the search for a good meal). This means that the lines needed to be pretty long to reach cod swimming near the seabed. Some lines could extend down to 60 meters!
Once the fisher is pretty sure that their hook is down with the cod, the next trick is to catch one. Since the hook doesn't have a tasty morsel to attract an unsuspecting cod, the fishers use another trick - moving the hook up and down in short, fairly sharp movements. This "jigging" technique tends to catch the attention of a cod. One gulp and the cod is caught! Now it is a battle between fisher and cod. The fisher needs to pull the cod up to the boat, but the cod (unsurprisingly) fights back, twisting and turning trying to get free. Sometimes they do, but for the unlucky cod that ends up on the fisher's boat…

Quit Planning and Do It | Meditations
As an avid hiker, I never leave the house without a map of where I am going, a compass, and cellphone. I usually know exactly what trail I will be on and approximately where the nearest road is. I am not saying that this planning is bad. This post is about planning that tends to take up our lives, planning that happens late at night, when we are bored in class or at work, and for me usually in a coffee shop. Planning can be extremely useful and necessary. Just as in the case above, when things go wrong on the trail I use the things I planned with to get me out of the sticky situation.
The planning I am talking about is the planning that never gets to the action step. There is four essential steps to successfully plan. These are the essential steps to planning anything in life, whether a trip somewhere, a plan after college, or simply dinner plans. First, Have a Big Idea. Second, Research. Third, Write it Down. The fourth and final step is Do it. Many of us are amazing planners. Except for the fact, that we forget the fourth step. So here is a quick guide to become the best planner and doer.
This is my favorite step. It is the one step where your inner child, explorer, dreamer, and heart gets to work the best. This is just like a pure brainstorming session. No negatives, no impossibilities, no no's. Only things that are BIG. Start brainstorming. Mark nothing of the list. Start writing them down. Whether is a spontaneous trip to Canada or a medical missions trip to Haiti, a career as a National Geographic photographer or Marketer for Fight the New Drug, or even a trip to the new coffee shop in town. Have the idea. There is no wrongs. Write them down.
The Millennials are some of the best researchers. We have some of the best tools in the world at our finger tips. The research step doesn't have to be long and drawn out. It can be as easy as Google mapping the directions to Niagara Falls or the new coffee shop. It can be as in depth as finding the website and exploring every line of text. Whatever you find in your research is what can make your big idea possible.
Sometimes as you research you might find that an impossibility comes up. It might be that your bank account doesn't have enough funds or that to get to your destination you need a helicopter. Who knows but there will be roadblocks. During your research you either need to find a way around them or write them down for future planning.
I have journal full of big ideas, research, and hundreds of details. I never know if I will complete everything in there. Personally I hope I never finish all my big ideas, because if I do that is going to be a sad day of no more dreaming. In my journal it is split into 3 parts, the first part is the BIG IDEAS section. It is full of dreams, places, and journeys I might do one day. This section is my compass, the direction I want to go. The second section is my RESEARCH section. It has a lot of scribbles and looks messy but I need it to work out every roadblock to my Big Ideas section. The last section looks very neat and has the research and finalized details of the Big Ideas. It is my map, where I want to go with the trail marked. I suggest you start a journal or journals of your plans and ideas. Write them all down so that way one day you can complete them.
Sadly, we are too damn good at the first three steps of planning. We often forget to do this fourth and final step. But without the doing part of planning, all our journals are is a bunch of scribbles. I used to get really discouraged when older generations would say that the Millennials would never do anything worthwhile or even get off our phones to do something meaningful to society. As I look around at my fellow Millennials, I realize this is often the step we forget. We already have a vision of the world we want to raise the next generation in. We can see it. We even have ways to accomplish it. Yet, we have yet to take the first step in the direction of our Big Ideas.
In order to be the best planners, we have to close our journals, pack them in our backpacks, and walk out the door. So quit planning and do it. Find something in your big ideas section and do it. Even if it is that new coffee shop or microbrewery, find adventures in exploring your local town. Don't let your map have dark areas or your planning journal gather dust. Get off your phone and go do it.

Simply sooner or later after upgrading to the premium record I booked a trip New York to Paris for $470 per person. Think of your journey as a way of life and never only a getaway, even if you are only touring for a short while.
The concept is to e-book a Flexifare on the identical route at a less busy time when flights are cheaper. In performing my search on Orbitz, the most affordable fare got here from Air Brussels for $249US. It's easy to book a low-value flight anywhere on the planet with Travelocity.
Find the precise journey insurance policy in your journey together with annual and single trip vacation insurance coverage, winter sports activities cover and insurance for backpackers, families and business trips. While you should all the time double-verify these with the airline earlier than you e-book, it's handy to see the actual value of your ticket so you can make a extra correct comparison.

I'm still sick, and it got more complicated. I hate being sick. But so do most people, and I've said it before…and no one wants to hear it.
So, in the downtime, I have a story.
I am married to a beautiful man with a beautiful mind. He is also an educator, and he is inspired by his high school Calculus teacher. She (apparently) threatened to kill him if he didn't take AP Calculus. In spite of Ms. Kimura being about half his height and weight…he believed her. He went on to get the magic 5, and became a teacher and coach who did most everything based on the spark she lit.
His ability to connect with his students inspires me to be better at doing just that every day.
He got his chance to teach AP Calculus in 2009. Very few people had passed it at our school, and he was determined to change that. One of the things he did is make a perpetual trophy resembling the Stanley Cup, and everyone who passed under his instruction gets their name on it.
But then…he had to stop. That story is long with too many personalities to tell properly here. Short version: he quit teaching in the classroom and taught online for a couple of years.
There were only four years on the trophy, and it sat in his office at home. He went back to the classroom. But he doesn't get to teach AP Calculus anymore. That is mostly OK with him, or so he claims.
But he has let me have the trophy, which we have named the Akahoshi AP Trophy. It is currently disassembled to allow me to have my most recent AP Statistics passers' names engraved on it. (The top ring under the cup is missing.) It was a goal of one of my students, Alejandro, to get his name on it like his sister did for Calculus four years ago. I am so proud of him especially…he really got is %#&* together at the end for this test…I believe he had a suicidal (or nearly so) moment when he didn't get into the same school as his sister…we were all so scared for him.
I will send pictures when it is back together and reassembled.
Thank you, Paul, for letting me share it with them. I would have never even approached having an idea like this.

The iOS 10 was reportedly rolled out last September 13 and along with it's release, naturally, came a few problems. One of the updates which Apple included in the new operating system is a GIF search feature in iMessage. Well, we don't know if you'll consider porn gifs as a problem, but Apple seems to think so, which is why they resolved that issue as soon as they could.
Too bad!
Users who upgraded to iOS reportedly found a sexualized My Little Pony GIF when they searched for the word "butt" in iMessage. Here it is:
Others, on the other hand, reported something a bit more extreme. According to a woman who emailed The Verge, her eight-year-old daughter saw "a very explicit image" of "a woman giving oral sex to a well-endowed male" by using the keyword "huge".
After the incident, the words "huge" and "butt" have reportedly been blacklisted. So if you plan on searching for some naughty stuff on iMessage, you might be a bit late.
The GIF feature is powered by Bing so at least we can point our fingers to them and not Apple, right?
Anyway, sorry for ruining your memories of My Little Pony.

Body and Soul- Art for health
Reprinted from CreativityinHealthcare.com
Now, onto integrating Creativity in Healthcare…
Effects of Art in Lowering Pain Levels
The power of art to heal emotional, spiritual and psychic wounds is well known, but could looking at art considered beautiful or magnificent have the same effect on physical pain? Researchers at the University of Bari in Italy also wondered this and decided to investigate.
Research was coordinated by the neurological and psychiatric sciences department at the University of Bari, Italy. Principle investigator, Dr Marinade Tommaso, concludes that looking at paintings identified as 'beautiful' may lower pain levels in hospital patients, than those looking at bare walls or plain pictures in disrepair. (crystallized testosterone & estrogen, Marti Hand)
Lead researcher and neurologist, Dr Marina de Tommaso and assistants asked 24 healthy adults (12 women & 12 men) to select 20 paintings they considered most ugly, and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Botticelli from an online art website.
They were then asked to contemplate either the beautiful paintings, ugly paintings, or a blank panel while the team administered short laser pulses on their hands causing a pricking sensation. Below are the conclusions made by the researchers of the study:
- The subjects rated the pain as being 1/3 less intense while viewing the 'beautiful' paintings compared with the pain levels experienced while viewing paintings they considered ugly or the blank panel.
- Brain wave activity showed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at positive or beautiful paintings, such as Starry Night by Van Gogh and The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Artwork considered ugly or plain included art by Pablo Picasso, Fernando Botero and Antonio Bueno. Remember, the subjects selected the art they considered beautiful, ugly or uncomely at the beginning of the study.
- Dr. Tommaso states, "Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly things do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse." By viewing aesthetically pleasing artwork, pain levels maybe reduced or changed at the cortical level in the brain.
- *Brain scans showed "a clear inhibition of the P2 wave amplitude, localised in the anterior cingulate cortex". (The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays a role in regulating blood pressure and heart rate, cognitive functions such as anticipating reward, decision-making, empathy and emotion).

On May 5, 2012, I came upon a milestone. I crossed a stage, moved a tassel, threw my cap in the air and shook the dean's hand. Then I carried my diploma back to a folding chair and smiled to myself. I did it. We did it.
We did it: all four thousand and some of my graduating classmates.
We did it: I mark the half way point for my family's collective college career.
We did it: late nights, early mornings, thousands of pages of paper, hundreds of pens, two dorm rooms, two apartments, eighty odd credit hours, eight semesters, countless interviews, unbearable exams.. we did it.
And on May 8th I packed up, moved out and drove down 27 to home, no longer a Miami student- but an alum. I am starting a new chapter of my life. Oxford was good to me, it will always have my heart. But it is time to say goodbye.
Cheers to a new adventure.

Veronica Mars is getting a web series.
The broadcast television show about a high school private eye with an irreverent attitude that lasted three seasons (two on UPN and one on The CW) and 64 episodes before it was cancelled in 2007, only to make an imminent return 7 years later thanks to a $5.7+ million crowdfunding campaign is getting its very own online spinoff. CW's online video outpost and incubator, CW Seed, will host the companion, which will be helmed by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas. The Hollywood Reporter notes the digital series will most likely consist of six to eight 10-minute installments.
"Rob and I spoke last night," said CW president Mark Pedowitz at the Television Critics Association press tour. "He's very excited about doing this for CW Seed. It may not appear before the film comes out."
There's no word yet on whether or not the series will feature Kristen Bell and the rest of the original Veronica Mars cast, most of whom are going to be prominently displayed in the upcoming flick. Thomas and his on-screen talent have incredibly busy schedules (Bell, for instance, is keeping herself very busy with Showtime's House of Lies), so availability will likely dictate who's in the spinoff, as well as its premise.
And in case you haven't seen it yet, here's the trailer for the Veronica Mars motion picture, set to drop at SXSW 2014.

Draupnir est parti. Merci.
Bonjour et bonne année tout le monde, désolé pour l'anglais...
This is cross-posted with the yoyoexpert (YYE) forum. I am also "beezy" on YYE, where I have some trades but I am here in France now.
*Valkyrie in pic is not available
Hi everyone..
Draupnir for trade or for sale. Shipping is from France. Mint, no marks, it doesn't get enough play from me and still has its original pads and the box.
Amazing yoyo but you already know that and this one looks so good in person and these lighter colorways on the Draupnirs are the best IMO
Reasonable cash (paypal) offers considered but I am particularly interested in these yoyos, in some combination of straight up trade of a single yoyo (or yoyos + cash depending on particular yoyo and condition, etc) in order of wanty-ness:
888, low-wall '07 ones only
Puffin 1
MM Classic
(you get the idea, mostly organic shapes is what I like)

For thousands of years, people have been using substances to alter their state of reality. Cocaine, though a more recent distillation of a natural substance, has become one of the more popular. It can be highly addictive and destructive, but addiction can be beaten.
Cocaine comes from the South American coca plant. In that region, it has been used as a mind-affecting substance for thousands of years. In the early twentieth century, coca leaves were transformed into a more purified form, cocaine, which was utilized in many healing elixirs and tonics of the era.
Cocaine is a white powder that is often diluted with other substances, such as sugar, cornstarch or even other drugs. It can be injected, snorted or smoked.
Those who inject or snort cocaine typically use the powdered, water-soluble hydrochloride salt form of cocaine. A water-insoluble form, often referred to as freebase, is made with ammonia or baking soda and the hydrochloride is heated out, producing a substance which can be smoked.
Cocaine, a stimulant, affects the mind by creating euphoria along with increased energy levels, mental acuity and confidence. Those who use cocaine often become more intensely active for a short period of time, but once the high is over, you may struggle with bouts of agitation, anger, anxious thoughts and sleeplessness.
Extended use reduces the pleasurable effects as your body grows more accustomed to the drug, and you experience the negative effects more intensely. As use continues, the negative after-effects may develop into depression, paranoia or a variety of physical conditions.
Those who suffer from cocaine addiction often lose weight and appear malnourished. Nosebleeds, loss of the sense of smell or general nasal irritation may indicate snorting cocaine, and injection marks can be found on those who choose to use needles. Increases in paranoia and panic attacks may also indicate cocaine addiction.
Because cocaine is highly addictive, breaking the habit can be very difficult. As with any drug, detoxification is an important first step toward recovery, but the symptoms of withdrawal can be intense. These symptoms include:
- Depression
- Exhaustion
- Increased hunger
- Intense dreams
- Anger or restlessness
Even after the initial withdrawal symptoms, cravings may last for several months and require constant vigilance to prevent a relapse. Though these symptoms can be difficult to overcome, it is possible to stop using cocaine and live a healthy life.
Those who suffer from addiction often cannot overcome cocaine addiction by themselves, but there are treatments that can help. Behavioral therapy is the most consistent way to treat cocaine addiction. Through treatment, a person suffering from cocaine addiction can learn ways to manage stress and deal with cravings.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is also used to treat cocaine abuse by attempting to teach the client to recognize situations that might encourage use, how to avoid those situations and to cope with the emotional factors which often initiate drug use.
Cocaine is incredibly addicting, and the struggle to overcome it can be long and arduous. Even so, the pain and negative effects it causes should not be ignored. You don't have to continue using cocaine. With treatment, you can find a better way.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA)1 is deeply committed to personal privacy and the security of the personal information of everyone who interacts with our organization online. We value the trust of people who visit our website and engage with us digitally.
GMA has revised its Privacy Policy to provide even more transparency on how we collect and use personal information across its digital platforms, as we believe everyone should know what we do with their personal information.
This policy also describes how GMA stores personal information, how we keep personal information secure, and the choices people have about what we do with their personal information.
GMA strives to make all reasonable, good-faith efforts to ensure the privacy of those who visit our website and engage with us digitally. All personal information is utilized appropriately for our legitimate and necessary business purposes, such as providing information about our organization, our events, and our services. And we believe all of our uses of personal information are within the reasonable expectations of anyone who shares their personal information with us.
GMA collects a wide variety of personal information in many different ways, such as when someone creates a GMA user account, registers for a conference or training event, joins a committee or working group, or submits a resume for employment consideration. This information is usually shared with us voluntarily and typically includes name, title, place of employment, employer address, and contact information. Other examples of our personal information collection include online bookstore purchase histories and biographical information for conference speakers.
Occasionally, GMA receives personal information from other sources, such as a partner organization that is assisting us with marketing one of our events. However, regardless of how we receive personal information, we remain respectful of everyone's privacy and limit our use of personal information to that which is both reasonable and reasonably expected (see Section III).
GMA's website also uses cookies, which are text files saved to your local computer to track your previous visits. Use of cookies will often make repeated visits more efficient by filling in previously entered non-sensitive information. And please note that cookies can be blocked by selecting the appropriate settings on your web browser.
GMA primarily uses personal information to communicate with people who work for our member companies regarding industry updates and our offerings (member services, working group calls, meetings, conferences, webinars, training, publications, etc.). We also communicate with representatives of non-member companies regarding offerings available to non-member participants.
GMA makes all reasonable efforts to limit such communications to that which is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests. For example, we do not market our annual Legal Conference to everyone in our database, but instead select individuals with employee titles such as "counsel" and "attorney" to craft a targeted list of contacts most likely to be interested in this event.
Other uses of personal information include providing conference attendee lists (which are published via conference websites and apps), communicating with speakers and presenters for our events, and processing financial transactions.
GMA does engage various third parties for functions that it does not have the capacity to conduct with our own staff, which often necessitates sharing personal information with those third parties. Such functions include marketing GMA events (via Meetings & Incentives Worldwide), coordinating with speakers and presenters for our events (via Cadmium CD), and creating conference apps (via Touchpoint). These third parties will only use this personal information for the purpose for which it was shared.
GMA also conducts joint events with various partners, primarily the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). GMA and its partners do share personal information for the sole purpose of marketing such joint events.
While highly unlikely, exceptional circumstances may require GMA to use personal information in other manners or share it with outside parties, such as compliance with a court order or if we become aware of a matter that is an immediate threat to public safety.
Please note that GMA does not sell anyone's personal information to third parties. And while we track responses to marketing emails, this tracking does not include personal information (only raw data such as the number of "clicks" on a particular email).
Most personal information collected by GMA is stored in our database maintained via our association management system (MatrixMaxx). To see the privacy policy for Matrix Group International (which administers MatrixMaxx), please click here.
Personal information is also stored on our website and the websites for our conferences and other events. In addition to storing cookies, the GMA website has a Career Center which collects resumes for positions at GMA and our member companies (resumes are kept for three years before being deleted). GMA conference and other event websites typically include attendee lists (name, title, and company) and more detailed information for conference speakers (including contact information).
GMA does not store financial information (such as credit card numbers) used for purchases. We do not have access to any financial information for online transactions, which are processed through PayPal. For paper or telephone purchases, all financial information is destroyed after the transaction has been processed.
GMA respects everyone's privacy and right to reasonably control the use of their personal information. Therefore, anyone may send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will purge all of the sender's personal information from our records2 (though we may require additional information to determine where the personal data is stored).
Both the GMA website and our MatrixMaxx database are hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides all technical security measures. For more information on AWS cloud security, please click here.
Additionally, both the GMA website and our database are protected by a secure socket layer (SSL), which is the industry standard security protocol. SSL encrypts web traffic between a user and the website or database, rendering any stolen or intercepted data useless unless it can be decrypted. Such decryption is virtually impossible even with access to state-of-the-art resources and technology.
Should GMA be the victim of a data breach, GMA will provide notice to all potentially impacted contacts within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery.
GMA reserves the right to alter or amend its privacy policy at any time, and all changes will go into effect upon posting them on our website. If we make any material changes to the policy, we will make a reasonable effort to send an electronic notice to all appropriate parties in our database.
Any comments or questions about our privacy policy and/or our use of personal data should be directed to Steven Leslie, Esq., Director and Counsel, Legal Affairs, at (202) 639-5950 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Where did September go? Wow, that month sure went fast! It was certainly a busy month.
At the beginning of the month made a memory box for my daughter. It came out great using some of her favorite colours and theme (anything to do with moon, music, sun all good, LOL).
The center was created with folded paper to make the star, using the same CTMH paper packet to tie it all in with the theme of the memory box.
Here is the card that I made to go with it. Beautiful textured CTMH papers and buttons, some stitching, a stamped decorated old CD, with heat embossing and liquid glass applied, and the all too cute May Stamp of the Month. :)
Getting ready to run off to PSU to see her now for Parent weekend. Will be back to post the pictures from the Christmas card extravaganza last weekend. :) Have a super weekend! Smiles.

Wal-Mart to expand its financial services MoneyCenters
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., expanding its lucrative push into financial services, said Tuesday it plans to open 500 more MoneyCenters this year, including five in the Charlotte area.
The MoneyCenters are in-store centers that offer basic financial services such as check cashing, bill payment and money transfers. They're largely targeted at lower-income shoppers who might not have a traditional bank account but need to keep up with an increasingly cashless economy.
Wal-Mart says the MoneyCenters offer convenience, low prices and an "inviting" and "safe" place to carry out financial transactions.
Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, said the MoneyCenters could be a good thing for consumers, by bringing more competition to the industry and focusing on an underserved segment of the population.
"In and of themselves, there's nothing wrong with the services that Wal-Mart is offering," Rheingold said. "People need those services. The question is, What types of products are they offering, and are they fair? We've seen so many abuses in the banking system, I just don't want Wal-Mart to add to them."

You are here: Home Legal Topics Intellectual Property European Commission review of SPC Regulations
On 15 February 2017, the European Commission published an Inception Impact Assessment to evaluate options for optimising the legal framework concerning Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) and patent research exemptions for sectors whose products are subject to regulated market authorisations.
The Commission's objectives include:
Any policy or legislative changes could have significant and far-reaching consequences for the life sciences industry in Europe, and so companies should continue to monitor the Commission's progress as announcements are made.
The Commission is concerned that the current SPC and Bolar provisions are not suited to a model of changing trade and innovation, and do not create a level playing field for EU-manufacturers of medicines by comparison with companies based elsewhere.
In respect of SPCs for example, the Commission is exploring whether the prohibition on manufacturing whilst an SPC is in force may place EU-based companies at a disadvantage in eventually entering the EU or export market, compared with manufacturers based in countries where there is no SPC, or one of a shorter duration. If this were the case, the consequences might be reliance on non-EU manufacturers, thereby driving European manufacturers of generic and biosimilar medicines to move production outside of the EU in order to remain globally competitive.
In respect of Bolar, the Impact Assessment acknowledges the general recognition that the Bolar patent exemption has been inconsistently implemented by Member States, resulting in uncertainty as to whether these exemptions apply to tests conducted by originator, generic and biosimilar manufacturers for the purpose of obtaining marketing authorisations in non-EU as well as EU countries. The UK system was of course reformed in this respect by the Legislative Reform (Patents) Order in 2014. Furthermore, some Member States do not allow the supply of patented active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the purpose of seeking marketing authorisations under the Bolar patent exemption. The latter was the subject of a CJEU referral (C-661/13 Astellas Pharma) which was withdrawn and so remains uncertain.
As for the new Unitary Patent system, the Commission notes concern about the fragmentation resulting from the national grant and enforcement of SPCs under the current system. As a first step to address these concerns, the Commission has stated that it intends shortly to issue guidance on how the upcoming Unitary Patent will dovetail with national SPCs.
The Commission is evaluating specific policies intended to address its concerns, both for export and EU-market entry, whilst at the same time maintaining a high level of SPC protection in the EU. As well as contemplating that no change may be necessary, and in addition to non-legislative instruments aimed at improving the implementation of existing EU legislation, the Commission is considering the following possible legislative changes:
The Commission has stated that an inter-service steering group will monitor the progress of the initiative. A formal open online public consultation on the issues, objectives and policy options is expected to be launched before the end of Q1 2017.

Surplus ClothingWritten by Josh Dodes
Things move so quickly in the clothing market that surplus clothing can be in every way as high quality as what ends up on the racks. What is different about surplus clothing, however, is that it has traditionally been much harder to move at a fair price. Things can move so quickly that merchants are often forced to rid themselves of overstock merchandise altogether.
There is a clear second market for these clothes, however, created by a small handful of top-notch wholesale surplus websites. Organized and efficient, these sites create a marketplace where merchants can get a fair price and buyers can get a great deal. These sites understand that by effectively cutting out the middleman, they can share the savings and both win.
A Second Chance for Surplus Clothing
By organizing their surplus markets around the online auction model that has been so successful, these websites bring buyers together to bid on all manner of surplus clothes. That way, merchants can get the fair market value for their products, while buyers can save themselves the aggravation of hunting high and low for that perfect deal. The result is a bustling marketplace for both sides of the equation, as close as your computer screen.
The days when surplus clothes were the second-class citizens of the fashion world are over. The best websites truly give these clothes a second chance to move at a great price. After all, clothes are meant to be worn, not left to languish in a warehouse!

Here is a formula for magic.
First: you string together dots and lines. Smooth them out with curves and zig-zags, if you'd like, or scribble notes in the margins—raise the volume here; play gracefully; now back to normal speed, if you please. Place a clef at the beginning to serve as a language; arrange it all on a canvas of five horizontal bars. And now—you bring people to tears or to laughter or to their feet. You remind them of all those wonders they didn't realise they had forgotten.
How utterly ridiculous. How utterly incredible.
Lately, I've had days that have felt cold and bleak and never-ending, and yet, here is a funny thing: even during the times when I feel most alone, music has yet to desert me. What a powerful and underestimated sort of loveliness.
You know, I think it's time to pay it back.
Here is a formula for magic—
—or, perhaps not magic. Something almost like it, though, something very close. Something grounded in reality yet shrouded in enchantment; something that has made its home in the sparkling in-betweens. Born from stardust, bathed in sunbeams, magical and mundane all at once. A shattered epiphany of afterthought. A finite timeless paradox. Something, perhaps, that might be known as—
(Or: an independent journal dedicated to the celebration of music in all its forms. A home for creators with études nestled between their ribs and sonatas shivering beneath their spines.)
So here it is—finally, finally, finally! I've been working on this for the past few months and I am so incredibly delighted to tell you that Half Mystic is real and it's happening, right now.
And something that's possibly even more exciting: I want you to be part of it.
You see, I need fellow music-lovers to help me take my baby journal to higher places - people who understand and adore music just as much as I do. And I would be absolutely honoured if you guys could be those people, and work with me to turn Half Mystic into a haven for those with grace notes coursing through their veins.
Which is to say: staff applications are open right now. There are spots open for writing, art, and other specialists—if you're a music lover, I do believe there's a place for you on the team.
Or, if that's not quite your thing, never fear—we do need writing and music for Issue I! The theme for this issue, chosen after much deliberation, is Allegro: the skipping pulse, the desperate escape, the dash of fastfastfaster. But of course, twist it as much as you'd like—the more creative, the better.
So this is the project I've been working on! It's something I've scoured the magazine scene for—and while there are dozens of independent literary journals (actually, I work on one of the loveliest out there), I've yet to find an independent music journal. And so, I absolutely cannot wait to see Half Mystic grow into something that all of us can be proud of—something that draws talented contributors from all over. And even more—I can't wait to work with you on making that a reality.
This will be real and enchanting and magical and mundane and finite and timeless and paradoxical.
But mostly?
It will be a whole lot of fun.
(Apply as a staff member or submit writing & music to Issue I: Allegro)

Megan and Adam's Family Wedding | Raleigh Wedding Photography
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding in downtown Raleigh. Adam and Megan, along with their CUTIE PIE daughter Kate, had a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Technically, they've been married already for a year. But this time... they did it up! We met down at the DoubleTree Hotel on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, where the place was adorned with red, black, and white decor. Adam walked down the aisle with their little one, who was dressed in white with sparkly red shoes, just like Mom! Megan was escorted down by her brother, who then swiveled around to perform the ceremony which was so personal. This gorgeous day was centered on the three of them as a family, as Kate was present for the vows, the first dance, and even sat next to her parents at the sweetheart table! Their beautiful rings from Kay Jewelers had been newly polished, all the flower arrangements had been handmade, and let me say, the cupcakes from Party Delights? AMAZING!
Megan and Adam, thank you SO MUCH for letting me be a part of your day!!! I had so much fun with your friends and family, and I am so happy for you all. The three of you are such an incredibly sweet family, and I am so happy to now be able to call you guys friends. Congrats!!

Is the Junction Box Switch the same thing as a Multi-Function switch on a 2007 Hyundai Entourage Van?
I have been told there is a TSB on the Junction Box Switch on the 2007 Hyundai Entourage Van. I am looking to buy the part and cannot locate it on any websites. Is this the same thing as the Multi-Function Switch?
1 Answer
The exact term is the IP module. (Instrument Panel Module ) it's not called a switch. There is a campaign for a reprogramming that is done through the dealer. Call the dealer, give them the VIN for your van over the phone, they can look it up and tell you if there are any open campaigns on your van. . Its a free reprogramming and doesn't cost you anything. Not sure why you want you want to replace it but that what I know for a fact. I'm a Hyundai tech. Good luck

Meeting with the Indonesian Ambassador to Russia H.E. Djauhari Oratmangun
On January 14th I flew into Jakarta, for I knew that Mr. Djauhari, the Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, was going to be in the country. His Excellency has an amazing ability to create and surround himself with activity and hospitality. He already supports a number of projects that have the potential to help develop various industries in the country, and during the two meetings we had with the Ambassador we talked about the high potential for green energy in Indonesia. The country has plenty of sunlight and humidity – perfect conditions for growing hundreds of millions of plants annually – and the Ambassador indicated his interest in the methods available for converting plants (biomass) into cost-efficient electricity.
The fact is that the current technology for gasifying biomass to produce electricity is economically unprofitable. I have explained this position in my earlier publications. Today, competition with cheap raw materials like crude oil and gas is futile. However, biomass gasification can reasonably compete with crude oil and gas under two conditions. The first condition is inexpensive gas turbines (as part of a gasification system) at a price not higher than US$250 per 1kW/h capacity. This kind of turbine will provide cheap electricity for the whole gasification facility (making it self-sustainable), as well as providing additional low-cost electricity for market consumption. For example: the cost of a 10MW/h gas turbine on the market today is US$10 million, which results in an electricity cost of US$0.18. Ideally, the cost of the gas turbine should not be higher than US$2.5 million, giving an electricity cost of US$0.06.
The second condition is for new turbines to have an efficiency of not lower than 60%. This kind of gas turbine (Eco-SV turbine) is being developed by the Singaporean company NRGLab Pte Ltd, and Ana Shell Fund finances this project.
Meeting with PT Medco Power Indonesia
On January 15th I met with the MedcoEnergi Power team. The main topic of discussion was the possibility of starting a new joint business in Indonesia's local and global energy markets.
In Indonesia, electricity produced from biomass gasification may soon become the main kind of energy production. The price per ton of bamboo, palm waste, or rice husk is equivalent to the price of 180 kg of liquefied natural gas (US$70) or 1 ton of coal (US$50). This means that the same amount of electricity, 1.5MW/h, is produced when burning 180 kg of LNG, 1 ton of coal, or 1 ton of palm waste, rice husk, or bamboo.
For Indonesia, however, it would be much more profitable to burn biomass, as this kind of fuel is a renewable source of energy and is twice as cheap as crude oil. If adopted, this concept would allow the Indonesian Government to export its crude oil and LNG resources and thus attract foreign currency. With the price of agricultural waste or wild plants at US$10 per ton, the price of one kW/h is estimated to be US$0.05-0.08.
Meeting with Medco Power
I spoke for over an hour with Mr. Soetrisnanto, Senior Advisor, and Mr. Hernawan, Business Development Consultant, and the Medco Team about utilizing energy from biomass gasification. I particularly enjoyed the strategy introduced by the MedcoEnergy Board to become "the preferred energy company" for investors, shareholders, partners, employees, and communities. We decided to work together (through NRGLab on my side) on the biomass gasification and electricity generation project, which could become highly profitable on the market. MedcoEnergi and the Indonesian Government have announced their intentions to reduce oil consumption by 25% in the next five years through the introduction of alternative energy projects, including the development of geothermal energy. By the year 2025, Jakarta intends to increase production of alternative energy by 9,000 megawatts, which will allow them to save 4 billion barrels of crude oil over that time.
PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur
On January 16th I met with the leadership of PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) to gain further support for the biomass gasification project using the new NRGLab Pte Ltd gas turbine. President Mrs. Emma Sri Martini and her team will provide technical solutions for infrastructure development, which will ensure the growth of renewable energy projects nationwide.
We also discussed a proposal to utilize the 10 millions tons of heavy residue left at eight Pertamina refineries every year. By implementing Viscoil technology, these 10 million tons of residue can be tranformed into 6 million tons of diesel fuel, which would create approximately US$3 billion of profit. The capital costs for re-equipping the refineries are estimated at US$30 million, and the project would take 6 months. For comparison: the capital costs to build 8 visbreaking plants would require no less than 10 years and US$6 billion.
Pusat Investasi Pemerintah
I also met with PIP's management, headed by Mr. Siregar, head of PIP, who listened to the two suggested projects and pinpointed a potential role for PIP in these projects. I have high hopes that PIP will become a catalyst for economic growth and infrastructure development in key strategic sectors of the Indonesian economy. We have agreed to jointly develop a strategy for the project, provide detailed assessments of the project to minimize risk, and work on the legal issues to potentially create an investment agreement with PIP. Mr. Siregar Soritaon appointed two of his specialists – Julia and Puji – to work with the Fund and promptly prepare all the necessary documentation (see the photo below).
On a personal note, I would like to comment on the optimistic rates of geothermal energy implementation in Indonesia. The high cost of energy utilization from the "fire mountains" remains the main obstacle: a geothermal plant costs about twice as much as a coal power plant of the same capacity; moreover, it requires long years of research and design development. The NRGLab biomass gasification project is twice as cheap and faster; it also utilizes the limitless resources of renewable materials Indonesia has. Our second project – producing 6 million tons of diesel from heavy residue at Pertamina refineries – can be implemented in one year and with minimum investments. H.E. Ambassador Djauhari has identified these two projects as the beginning of our long-term strategic cooperation.

This summer, I have been spending less time listening to the big summer jams (the Mileys, Get Luckies, and Blurred Lines of the world), and more times exploring random artists who I have previously ragged on, or at least never got the full picture on. The three artists listed have all had their moment in the spotlight as sort of one-hit or some-hit wonders or as some sort of other pop culture entity. So I thought why not advice you away from their sugary and dangerous options and towards their better, healthier songs. So here's another installment of Hear This Not That.
