Zombie Super Mario and Cheeseburgers
Kotaku: "What If Mario Is In Fact… A Zombie?" by Alex Kidman
Mario Monti, the technocrat Prime Minister of Italy? Recall Melchiorre's recent article in Forbes about Italian politics with reference to both zombies and super mario as regards to Monti's government. ZombieLaw has now mentioned this article three times because first it was in my wrap-up of all the new year's zombie news I couldn't keep up – and then the next day in comparison to another Forbes article about Japan — actually both articles are about America but it's whether we are becoming Italy or Japan (recall WW2 zombies – and incidentally, both those ZombieLaw posts also mentioned concurrent news about zombie alcohol) (query: are you drunk?).
No, Kidman's article is (at least superficially) actually about the Nintendo video game character and compares Super Mario to a zombie. The reasons include: his frequent resurrection, relentlessness, repetitive speech, and that he can be destroyed by fire and crushing even with an invincibility star. Also, his bizarre world which some suspect is drug-induced (mushrooms) may alternatively be the effects of his brain rotting (it would be great to get an opinion about this from a zombie neuroscientist like Schlozman or Voytek) The connection between drug-users (medicinal and recreational) is strong but how might Mario's brain compare to Timothy Leary's. Or does the old plumber more resemble someone with a condition like Alzheimer's or speech aphasia.
Kidman also considers a counter-narrative where Bowser and Princess are trying to live in peace but Mario keeps chasing them. This is a really important point about seeing the world from the perspective of the Other.
Unmentioned in the article is the way mushrooms grow through death and decay. Or the connection of Super Mario to a communist proletariat working class hero fighting against the bourgeois monster in the castle – along with a feminist struggle to free the princess from that castle (echoing Kidman's counter-narrative: does she want to be free?) And of course, he's a computer program user controlled avatar so he is literally zombie slave to the user.
In other pipe-dwelling, see Florida Today: "Cram Session: School, Palm Bay use zombies to help feed kids' brains" by George White:
Palm Bay officials recently used zombies to explain data analysis systems to high schoolers. Palm Bay uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in all city departments.
"It allows you to visualize data so that you can see patterns and trends,'' said Crystal Phillips-Mustain, division manager for Palm Bay's Geographic Information Systems.
Examples of GIS include: tracking water and sewer lines (location, size, installion date, expected life) and tracking traffic patterns to determine emergency response times.
"It's more than a radius, it's how far can (firefighters) get, what is it connected to, what is the speed on that roadway?
read the rest at Florida Today
On the one hand I love this kind of stuff (See for example ZombieBasedLearning and Zombie Epidemiology because 'Hey whatever motivates the students is good', on the other hand, I still worry about the epistemological effects of sub-human class categories. This is the kind of mentality that shoots people fleeing a hurricane rather then letting them cross the bridge to your town.
Now back to Mario, crawling through those overgrown pipes, stomping goombas, grabbing a few coins here and there – sounds like the technocrats. Bowser is living the dream (with his nice castle and pretty wife) but the technocrat zombie threatens that. Technocrats see every problem as solvable. Each level of the game can be beaten, repetition of patterns is key and users play each level multiple times to learn the patterns. This idea of repetition and pattern seeking is essential to science and Nintendo computer games may have aided in developing the paradigm.
Computers are collecting more and more data on individuals and finding ever new patterns in human behavior. We each only live once (or so it seems) but we are being amalgamated into data sets that suggest the effect of ever smaller life choices and that tracking can help- See Seattle Times: "Tough New Year's resolution? Zombies and data can help" by Mónica Guzmán. This has long been the narrative of public health advocates noting smokers have a higher chance of X or if you eat McDonald's Y – See National Post: "Zombie cheeseburger? McDonald's patty, bun, cheese unchanged after one year sitting on kitchen counter" by Doug Schmidt

Most people have heard of fibromyalgia before, but aside from being a funny word and something medical, that is pretty much where most people's knowledge ends.
For those unaware, fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. What that translates to and are some of the most common symptoms are excessive pain and an inability to sleep, often as a result of the pain.
For centuries, the go-to treatment for pain has been medication, but in recent years, the world over has been seeing a shift away from opiates and other painkillers due to their addictive and harmful properties that have many questioning if the treatment is worse than the illness.
While the intentions are good whenever doctors, scientists and the medical community seek alternative, less harmful treatment, it still leaves many wondering, especially those suffering, exactly what options are left available to them.
To many, this question period is short lived, especially when doctors suggest a proactive, physical regime as a means to battle the effects of fibromyalgia. Although there are still many skeptics who are left wondering how exactly physical activity and fitness can help them or those afflicted by the condition.
The answer for that question is long and complicated, but there are some basics that you should know before you dismiss the value behind this very promising alternative.
The fact remains that many (at least a large enough amount worth noting) of the people who suffer from fibromyalgia aren't physically fit. Often it is of no fault of their own as they have chosen to avoid exercise for fear of the pain associated with.
However, low impact, aerobic exercises have proven to be incredibly beneficial in the promotion of symptom-free living and managing the existing symptoms.
When a person regularly exercises, the body releases endorphins, which act as natural painkillers that also boost mood. This can have a two-fold impact on fibromyalgia as the condition is closely linked with depression and as any sufferer can testify, often involves a lot of pain.
Stiffness of joints and muscles is another often debilitating symptom of fibromyalgia, and it is through exercise and physical therapy that mobility can be restored and pain can be managed throughout the body.
If you suffer from fibromyalgia and are unhappy with your current treatment plan, it is important to speak to your healthcare professional about alternatives that might be available. More and more sufferers are turning everyday to fewer invasive, and alternative solutions to mitigating and handling their condition.
It is important to note that when implementing a physical activity regime, it is important to start of slow and easy your body into it. You should meet with a professional, and they can help you develop a treatment plan that will hopefully have you gain back much of your mobility, lessen pain, and most importantly; help lessen your dependency on harmful and habit-forming drugs.

When it comes to doors and cabinets, handles and door knobs are a thing of the past. Gina says high gloss is still ever-popular, particularly in the colour white, as it never dates.
Some kitchen ranges, like Symphony, have up to 15 colour choices for wall units and island units, says Gina. "Kitchens are now not all one colour. What we are finding is people are choosing one colour for their wall units, like egg shell, grey, blue or stone, and another colour for their island unit to create a focal point in the room."
"In a bid to create ultimate kitchen, people are knocking walls down, so the kitchen becomes part of the home's main living space. Families spend a lot of time in the kitchen now, as it becomes a place to dine, lounge and live," says Gina.
A large pull-out larder is the ultimate storage area in a kitchen, which stacks a lot of things inside it, from plastic containers to tins. It can be the full height of the unit, and is very accessible.
Named after the famous racing track in France, the Le Mans corner shelf unit fits inside that awkward corner cupboard. Just open the door, and its drawers come out, saving you bending or stretching to reach items inside.
Instead of having full-height cabinets under the worktop, more and more people are opting for drawers throughout which are very attractive, but can be a bit more expensive.
With the growing pressure to recycle, some homeowners have made it easier by having bin sorters installing inside their kitchen cabinets. The pull-out bin has separate compartments, and the secure lid inside is secure and prevents odours.
Rather than an inset sink, the under-mount sink bowl complements a solid worktop perfectly and can incorporate a recess drainer too.
Fancy an automatic sensor tap that is simply powered by placing your hands under the nozzle? It is more water efficient and cost saving than traditional taps, so it's worth the £1,000 price tag. Or what about the ultimate hot water tap? One that produces boiling water immediately? Made by brands like Quooker, this boiling water tap has been seen on hit shows like MasterChef and MasterChef: The Professionals.
Still have a separate microwave on your worktop? Maybe it is time to invest in an integrated combination microwave which has a fan oven, grill and microwave, with plenty programmable settings. With drop down doors, it should sit above a single oven. And if you are a health-conscious cook, then the ultimate steamer is the combi-steam machine where you can steam vegetables and chicken, as well as using it as a grill.
The coffee-lover's ultimate gadget is an integrated coffee machine which can be built in to your kitchen for around £1,400, and doesn't even need plumbed in.
Gone are the days of half-height fridges with an internal freezer shelf, as more and more homeowners are opting for full-height fridges that sit side-by-side with a full-height freezer. Opt for an American style appliance, and you will have the added benefit of a water cooler and ice maker!
Some great advice there, and of course we at PFS Kitchens are on hand to give you expert advice on your particular kitchen space, and help steer you in the right direction regarding utilising the space you have available.

Have you ever asked yourself how some things happen that almost seem unexplainable? It's hard to believe sometimes when coincidences will happen that appear to be perfectly orchestrated. Sometimes running into someone who knows someone whom you were thinking about, or even a random text comes through from a person you haven't heard from in years after recently just having them on your mind. Or, even meeting a special someone out of the midst of chaos.
The thing is that we are all super connected. There is no human who doesn't carry these threads of connection, even if they don't believe in them. Just as we need each other, we are also not alone. We can "feel" alone, or alienated, but there is so much proof to show us that is not the case.
Take for instance our Redondo Beach Women's Entrepreneurship MeetUP group; since we recently had a scheduled meeting. (Which I know is growing and I am excited to see what will come of it.) And, in searching the locals, and friends of friends, I was inviting other women to join us. Which only showed me how small this world is; especially in our local communities, we are ALL interconnected. (Sometimes however, its awkward to have shared in areas that may not even seem sanitary, really!! Haha!).
Bottom line is the thinking and discussion we shared prompted something to happen out in the universe that caused others to become involved in our thinking. The very next day I received a text from someone I hadn't connected with in several years!! Random text saying he was thinking of me and for some reason felt compelled to reach out!! The only thought in my head was "of course you did, I was just thinking of you last night!"
The thing is that we are never really, not connected. We are always connected, and we will be brought together for healing, and growing, and learning, and so many other things. Even time and space doesn't stop when people stop speaking, our connection is still there and is nurturing that can bring it back to life at any time! Our responsibility is to love the opportunities we get, and take care of each other, regardless of our ego and our righteousness. So this week, keep growing, healing, supporting, and loving each other….I mean, unless you just want a meaningless life filled with only pets and no other human connections?! Which I doubt you want! So love people up so they can love you all up too! We deserve that!
In Love & Light,

Wrongful Death Laws in Florida
Losing someone you love can be difficult and heartbreaking, no matter the cause. However, when you lose someone in an accident that could have been prevented, it is that much worse. Florida has rules to protect workers and citizens against wrongful death. According to the Wrongful Death Act, individuals are allowed to bring forth a lawsuit against a person who caused the wrongful death. The law specifically states,
When the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person, including those occurring on navigable waters, and the event would have entitled the person injured to maintain an action and recover damages if death had not ensued, the person or watercraft that would have been liable in damages if death had not ensued shall be liable for damages as specified in this act notwithstanding the death of the person injured, although death was caused under circumstances constituting a felony.
At The Pittman Law Firm, we believe that everyone should be held accountable for his or her actions. If you lost someone due to negligence, carelessness, or malicious intent, you may have a claim to compensation. Our wrongful death attorneys are ready and willing to help you.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Under Florida law, the personal representative of the deceased's property or survivors can bring forth a wrongful death lawsuit. Usually in matters of the estate, an individual should appoint someone they trust to handle such matters. However, if no one was appointed prior to death, the court may choose someone.
In terms of family members, the following can bring forth a claim:
- Spouse
- Children
- Parents
- Blood relatives or adoptive siblings who are the deceased's dependents
For children not born at the time of the death, they still have a right to bring forth a case for their deceased parent. However, if the child's father dies, and he did not formally recognize them, they may not have a claim.
Damages One Can Claim by Florida Law
It can be difficult to sort out what you need to do or what to claim when your loved one passes away. All you can think of is how he or she is no longer with you. However, under Florida laws, there are certain damages that the deceased's family or property can recover in the event of a wrongful death. According to Florida Statue section 768.21, both family and the estate have rights to the deceased's assets and money.
Surviving family can claim the following damages:
- The financial support the deceased was providing
- The value of services performed, such as daily tasks and household chores
- Mental and emotional pain and suffering
- Medical and funeral costs
- Loss of companionship
The deceased's estate can claim the following damages:
- Lost wages, benefits, and other earnings
- Lost potential of net accumulation
- Medical and funeral expenses the estate has to cover
When it comes to wrongful death cases, it is important to take immediate action. Florida's statute of limitation to file a claim is four years. However, the longer you wait, the more likely it is that evidence will deteriorate and memories will fade. If your loved one lost their lives because of someone else's negligence, you deserve restitution. Contact our Tampa wrongful death attorneys today to see how we can help your case!

A new 2CD compilation, titled I Walk the Line, takes a definitive look at Johnny Cash's legendary three-year spell with Sam Phillips' Sun Records between 1955 and 1958.
The 40-track collection showcases the raw beginnings of the stark and simple sound that would become Cash's trademark in later years. Although he is primarily remembered as a country artist, the two hours of music on these CDs provide a reminder that Cash's earliest songs also spanned genres such as rockabilly, rock 'n' roll and gospel.

Virtual High Street: An Eye On The Future
Currently it would seem that each new day brings more bad news about retailers and F&B operators going bust or using CVAs to shake up their estate with consequent store closures
If you believe the doom and gloom of growing online spend, falling footfall, impact of Brexit, increasing business rates and rising employment costs, you would be justifiably concerned about the operators in your scheme. How robust are they? Are they agile enough to respond to the ever-changing retail market? Sometimes it might even look like you'll soon have no tenants in your scheme at all!
Do you need help to understand the future? How can you know if your tenants are financially viable? Pragma's newest tool gives us the means to help you.
Today, we are launching the Virtual High Street. Using our knowledge of retailer performance and in-depth understanding of company accounts, we can assess the impact of the changing economic environment and shopper behaviour to give you early warning of how this affects your centre. More importantly we can identify which retailers have business models robust enough to cope with the current economic pressures.
As an introduction, we are looking at the impact of declining footfall on sales, increase in business rates and rising labour costs and how that translates across market sectors.
You can view our generic Virtual High Street report on the impact of changing footfall.

Working on my Night Cheese
There are few things I love more than cheese (30 Rock may be one of them). I can often be found snacking on some muenster or double cream brie in the wee hours of the night, while watching Liz Lemon try to "have it all." In her case, "it all" includes a sandwich, so what better way to introduce myself & my blog (and my love for 30 Rock) than by sharing an easy & delicious grilled cheese?
The best thing about the grilled cheese is its simplicity. Your standard bread-cheese-butter combo is just as delightful as any gourmet concoction you can dream up and both can be made in minutes.
One of my favorite things about the grilled cheese are the endless possibilities. Not only is there a world of cheese to choose from (and combine), there are also spreads, spices, veggies, fruits & more just begging to be part of that melty, gooey, greasy goodness.
Want to recreate my grilled cheese? Here's what you'll need:
- Bread Alone Sourdough Rye
- Bonne Maman Orange Marmalade
- Muenster cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Arugula (or Rocket for the Brits)
- Maille Dijon Originale
- Butter
My preferred assembly - slice of rye, heavy handed spread of marmalade, slices of muenster, and a pile of arugula. Melt some butter in a pan of your choice over medium-low heat, and start grilling your assembled slice. Once the first slice is in the pan, add slices of parmesan cheese on top of the arugula. Take the second slice of rye and coat one side liberally with butter. Flip and slather on your mustard. Place mustard side down on top of the bread in the pan. Give the sandwich some time to toast up and for the cheese to mostly all melt. Medium-low heat is key here so your bread browns but doesn't burn! When the cheese is mostly melted, carefully flip & grill until your second slice is nicely browned. Voila, sandwich!
You can make a grilled cheese with anything you have on hand - blackberries, mint, sharp cheddar? bacon, brie, applesauce? ricotta, mozzarella, olive tapenade, asparagus? monterey jack, cinnamon, honey? I could go on forever!
Bottom line - the key to a great grilled cheese, or any meal:
Be creative. Take a risk. Trust yourself!

The hackathon game has been changed. I just went to my first all-females hackathon at the University of North Carolina- Pearl Hacks!
I finished class at 10am on Friday and hastily made my way to the airport. I remember stepping foot on my flight to Toronto- where I would have a 4 hour layover prior to reaching Raleigh. I was so drained from that week of school, I recall messaging my mom telling her that I wish I never accepted the hackathon offer. After all, I was flying to the smallest little city where I knew no one.
When I landed, I was greeted by the friendliest hug from a girl holding a "Pearl Hacks" sign. My phone then rang and I was notified that my ride was here. On our way to the University, the car full of girls talked back and forth about the Computer Science courses we were taking, hack ideas, and even dabbled on where to get cocoa butter in non-lotion form.
It was about midnight when I arrived and all the hackers were tucked into their sleeping bags and drifted into dream land. That was definitely a shocking sight as I almost pride myself in never sleeping at hackathons. But I too, grabbed an air mattress and drifted away after chatting with the coordinators for a bit.
When I woke up the next morning, I, along with 2 other girls decided to head out to Franklin street to do a bit of exploring before the hackathon officially started. It was loads of fun. We grabbed coffee, took pictures, shared jokes about me being Canadian and falling in love with Walgreens- you know, the usual. We then headed back and decided to become a team and hack together.
After approximately 12 hours of brainstorming and crossing out every idea in our notepads, we found a girl whose team last minute bailed on her, and was looking to join a new one. We met up with her and chatted about ideas. Finally, we came up with the idea to create a mobile app that would allow users to tap their phones against a street performer's NFC tag, and tip them on the go.
We used Ionic (AngularJS) and Cordova for our application framework. We originally wanted to do this in Java, but because of the time constraints we were facing, this definitely seemed like a more optimal solution. We were then able to parse information from the NFC tags and connected them to Amazon's DynamoDB to store street performer's profiles.
Despite desperately wanting to finish the project with a time crunch, our spirits were still high and I don't remember a moment when we weren't laughing at each other's jokes. (2 of those involve evaluating a significant other's potential based on their GitHub commits, and the phrase "code digger")
We ended up winning Overall Third Place, Best Open Source Hack, and the Best Use of Technology Hack. Bear with me as I say this but the most important thing that I won was the opportunity to meet the 3 girls on my team- speaking of which, I just got a notification from them on our Facebook group chat.
As someone who walked into Pearl Hacks with little expectations, I return home with my heart filled from the support of a tight knit community, with the common goal to Hack the Glass Ceiling.

European Parliament's ENVI committee calls for palm oil biodiesel phaseout by 2020
In Belgium, the European Parliament's committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety voted in favor of a report that says the European Union should phase out the use of palm oil in biofuels by 2020 because industry has not yet been able to definitively prove that the oils it uses have not led to deforestation. The report's author was quick to point out that all first generation biofuels should not be phased out, just those that lead to deforestation.

text: Van Coke Cartel, fronted by the father of SA punk rock music Francois van Coke, and Jack Parow (father of Afrikaans Rap), combined their forces to create one of the most creative, and ultimately "befokte" music videos ever to grace the South African music scene. The video, titled "Chaos", is a perfect mix of Francois's iconic vocals, and Parow's insane skill as a rhyme master. The song has a heavier sound than previous Van Coke songs, and I for one, fucking love it! To listen to the song all day long; go out and pick up a copy of Van Coke Cartel's album "Wie's Bang". And while you're at; pick up Jack Parow's album "Eksie Ou", you won't be disappointed. All of us here at Why Ed would like to thank both, Van Coke Cartel and Jack Parow for making REAL music, that SA can be proud of. Dankie ouens; julle is befok!

BOG-STANDARD noun and adjective: Ordinary, basic, standard, average, typical, unexceptional, uninspired, 'plain vanilla,' 'no frills,' 'run of the mill,' lacking any special features or modificaion. The term probably comes from an alteration of 'box-standard,' an informal term for a motorcycle, other mechanical device, or computer, which has no modifications, but which is in the condition in which it came out of the manufacturer's box. <For that price you get your bog-standard production model, without accessories.>
Oxford English Dictionary
ETYMOLOGY:1) [Origin uncertain, perhaps an alteration of 'box-standard']: Differing theories of the origin of 'bog-standard' have been proposed, but none proven. An immediate association with 'bog' (marshy ground) seems unlikely on semantic grounds. The most commonly held view is that the transition from 'box' to bog' resulted from a mishearing or misunderstanding of the earlier term. Others have suggested a derivation < 'bog-wheel' former Cambridge slang for a bicycle, though ultimately also related to "bog' (bog-house, latrine) see P. Beale Concise Dictionary of. Slang (1989) 47/2, 48/1>.
Although there is widespread anecdotal evidence (in personal correspondence to the O.E.D., and elsewhere) to suggest that particular association of this term (and 'box-standard') with motorcycles and cars dates back to the 1960s, we have yet to find earlier examples in print. In fact, as with 'box-standard,' the O.E.D.'s earliest printed evidence relates not to motoring but to computers (although early evidence for 'box-standard' as a noun is in engineering and mechanical contexts).
_________________________<1983 "Decryption of a 30-byte cipher block takes about five minutes, using a BOG-STANDARD Z80 running at under 2 Mhz clock rate."—'Australian Personal Computer,' August, page 111/1>
BOX-STANDARD: noun 1) [1884 and now obsolete: A frame or standard of hollow tubing forming the main framework of a machine, engine, etc. 2) adjective [1983]: colloquial. (chiefly British). In motoring, engineering, and other technical contexts: in standard manufactured form, unmodified; (hence) basic, unexceptional. See 'bog-standard.' Perhaps used originally of motorcycles and cars
ETYMOLOGY: The sense in which 'box' can be understood in the phrase varies. In the earlier noun, 'box' reflects the hollow framework: hollow tubing is the most economical (and hence most common) material with which to build a strong frame or mounting. In the adjective, 'box' is often understood as a reference to packaging, though in quotation, 1983, the sense is clearly of the box as a shape or frame. Given the strong anecdotal evidence of an early association with motorcycles and cars, it is possible the technical sense of the noun was originally present in the adjective, but that 'box standard' came later to be interpreted (or rationalized) as meaning 'a standard engine frame, etc., without modifications, such as one might expect straight from the manufacturer's box', in turn giving rise to the present sense.

<1983 "We cannot foresee a day when a computer becomes just a standard box. There will be BOX-STANDARD machines along the road, but we do not simply have to make those. There will always be something fresh waiting to be done."—'Computerworld' (In Depth Supplement), 21 February, page 2/3>
Word Detective
BOG-STANDARD: "Bog standard" is British slang meaning "standard issue, no frills, absolutely ordinary." It carries the same slightly derogatory tone as "run of the mill" does here in the U.S. A "bog standard" something isn't really bad, but it's nothing to celebrate with champagne, either. "Bog standard" seems to have first appeared in the 1980s, and has become sufficiently popular in Britain that a search of the BBC News web site turns up more than 450 instances of the phrase. . . . Much effort has been expended attempting to connect it to "bog" as British slang for "toilet," with no success (which is probably just as well). One theory that seems to be gaining wary acceptance among word mavens is that "bog standard" arose as a corruption of the adjective "box standard," meaning something (a computer, for instance) just as it comes out of the manufacturer's box, with no modifications or improvements. "Box standard" in this sense also seems to date to the early 1980s, used mostly in technical or manufacturing contexts
Michael Quinion's World Wide Words
[Q] From Paul Gretton in The Netherlands; similar questions came from Bernie Booth and Pete Shaw in Sheffield: "Any thoughts on the origin of 'bog-standard,' as in 'bog-standard comprehensive'?"
[A] First some background for readers not close to British affairs. The comment about "bog-standard comprehensives" was produced at a briefing in February 2001 by the Prime Minister's press spokesman, Alastair Campbell. A comprehensive school in Britain is one for children from 11 to 16 that caters for both sexes and all ranges of abilities 'Bog-standard' is a puzzling phrase and nobody knows where it came from. It first appeared in writing in the 1980s, seemingly out of the air. Several subscribers have told me that they remember it from the late 1960s and early 1970s in Rolls Royce and Ford factories and from other engineering environments.
The most obvious suggestion is that it has a link with 'bog.' This has long been a British slang term for a lavatory or toilet. It's a shortened form of the older bog-house for a latrine, privy, or place of ease, which is seventeenth century and is a variation on an even older term, 'boggard.' (This doesn't seem to have any connection with the other sense of boggard or boggart for a goblin or sprite.) The slangy bog definitely has a negative edge to it, so it might just be the origin, though how it came about is far from clear.
Despite the obvious association of ideas, the set of words for privy places doesn't seem to link directly with bog for a marshy area (though the association no doubt helped it along). There are derogatory terms associated with bogs, such as 'bog-trotter,' an eighteenth-century term of abuse for an Irish person. But words like these hardly seem like a source for 'bog-standard.'
There is a common story that 'bog' here is really an acronym from "British or German", on the grounds that standards in manufacturing were set in Victorian times by British and German engineering. That's hardly likely, but it's an interesting example of the tendency among amateur word sleuths to explain any puzzling word as an acronym.
The only other suggestion I've seen for the origin of the term is that it's a corruption or variant form of 'box-standard,' for something that is just the way it comes out of the box, with no customisation or improvements. There's a big problem with this, in that there's almost no written evidence for anybody using 'box-standard' in this way.
The exception is a comment by the British computer inventor and all-round genius Sir Clive Sinclair. In February 1983, he said in an interview with the magazine 'Computerworld': "Luckily, we cannot foresee the day when a computer becomes just a standard box. There will be box-standard machines along the road, but we do not simply have to make those".
In the same way that one swallow doesn't make a summer, one sight of the phrase is hardly conclusive evidence, but it does suggest that there just conceivably might have been a jargon phrase in the electronics business at the time, which has since been appropriated and generalised. Or Sir Clive may just have made it up on the spur of the moment as a pun on 'bog-standard,' and the true history of the phrase lies elsewhere.

While lots of people are out shopping the Friday morning after Thanksgiving day Plumbing Repair Columbus Ohio is active assisting lots of people with blocked drains and toilets.
Drain Cleaning Columbus Ohio Holiday Tips
It is generally garbage disposals that many individuals have the hardest time with throughout the holiday season with all the additional cooking that gets done so the disposal works extra hard. Things to be watchful of NOT grinding up in the disposal are turkey bones, chicken skin, potato peels, celery (anything stringy) and fruit. Also, make sure you have the water running before you turn the disposal on, then start chopping things up.
One of the biggest thing to look out for that is simple to do because it is a liquid, is putting cooking oil and grease down the sink drain. It may be a liquid when it goes down, however in a cold drain line (assuming you might be having cold weather conditions currently) it can quickly construct up and obstruct the sink drain. Sort of like it does in our arteries, not to put a bad taste in your mouth thinking of all the terrific food you will be making this holiday … perhaps we need to write an article about healthy holiday foods next!
Also, if you are having visitors in, ensure to keep a trashcan in plain sight in the bathroom NEXT to the toilet. It will certainly assist with any undesirable things being flushed … ideally … at least with grownups.
If you seem to have any slow drains now, give Water Heater Repair Columbus Ohio a call to clean them out good prior to guests arriving and cooking your feast. We would have more time to come before Thanksgiving than after, but you are welcome to save some turkey and stuffing for us for Black Friday.

"Is this what it's like all the time?"
This is the question I asked myself last night as I sipped on my second cup of Powerade. With the conference championship approaching for my track team, our team has entered our 3-week "dry period" where we have to cease all consumption of alcohol until after the meet.
This is the second time I've been a part of this 3-week dry period (we had to do the same thing during the winter season). Last night, I went out with a few teammates and was reminded of what it is like to go out while sober.
The night started with a classic pregame in my boy Scott's room. Even though not all of us would be drinking, there was no need to violate a Saturday night tradition. I posted up on the couch and DJed, playing some 2000s R&B; staples like "Yeah!" and "Get Low" while my friend Steve went with other party classics like "Con Te Partiró" and "A Whole New World."
As the pregame went on and a couple of our female friends who didn't have the same obligations as we did continued to drink, it became painfully obvious who was sober and who was not.
Some of the highlights:
- I had "YOLO!" shouted in my face ~400 times before we even left the pregame.
- I endured repeated disrespectful requests to change the song. (Can you believe that? I was playing only the hits.)
- I heard the same story about our senior track teammate's attempt at a threesome about four times in 15 minutes.
While there is more to tell, it would be unfair to single out our dear friends at the pregame. More was to come at the party itself, including:
- I drank a fair amount of Powerade in place of beer. While I was extremely hydrated, it wasn't quite the same effect.
- Beer was spilled on me by an unapologetic lax bro, only this time I actually noticed and was fairly annoyed.
- I felt extremely tired and wanted more than anything to sleep by the time it hit 1 AM.
The moral of the story is that there are few things more annoying than being sober at a college party. While it can definitely be funny to observe the debauchery and craziness around you, it's extremely easy to become exasperated with the behavior of your peers, which becomes a lot more noticeable when you haven't had anything to drink.
My friends will tell you that last night as the night went on I became far more sarcastic than usual towards those sporting a high level of obnoxiousness.
While I certainly wouldn't say that you need to drink in college to have fun, I applaud those who are able to go out without drinking, because they put up with a lot. Will I continue to go out during these next two weeks of my dry period? I guess so, but if someone wants to suggest watching a movie or a basketball game, I'm certainly not going to decline.

What My Breakup Taught Me About Friendship
By: Taylor Vazquez
Love is a word we all encounter every day. The symbolism of love comes in many forms because it means something different to everyone. Especially when love for a significant other is being established and being experienced for the first time, it can be the most fragile, the most confusing, and the most painful kind of love you will ever experience.
My first love was just that. Fragile, confusing, and painful. And nothing I could ever have prepared myself for. Especially when entering high school at the ripe age of fifteen. We met during our freshman year of high school and instantly became best friends, but it wasn't until our sophomore year of high school that we started dating only after he had built up enough courage to ask me to homecoming. After that night, you couldn't find one of us without the other for the rest of high school.
Graduation had come around and we had both chosen different colleges. We were going to be within the same state, but with an 8-hour drive between us. As cliché as it sounds, we really thought we could make it work. We thought our love and our relationship was stronger than any distance (a naïve thought very common amongst girls in college.) We were inseparable our first year in college, making trips to see each other as much as possible, talking on the phone for hours, and skyping every night. Things were great. But then the trips became further apart, phone calls were being delayed, hours or even a whole day would go by without us speaking. I figured something was up, but honestly, I was blind sighted by love. I kept telling myself everything was fine between us and I had nothing to worry about.
Eventually, trips started to become awkward, new friends came around in his life, and things just weren't the same between us anymore. Every day I started to feel more and more like I was no longer fitting into his life as perfectly as I once thought. They were awkward. But my mind was so fixated on our relationship and making it work that I overlooked all of this. I told myself that he was just busy with school and once he graduated and moved back home everything would go back to the way it was. We would go back to normal. He had been the center of my universe for six years. No way was I giving up on us.
But one day, he decided that I wasn't his universe anymore and he gave up on us. I was devastated and completely blindsided. I couldn't believe this was happening to me after all these years, after all the laughter and the love and the traveling and the family holidays spent together he gave up on us. He gave up on me. My heart was broken, I was broken. The world I had once known and had become so dependent on had disappeared.
I didn't know what to do. Not only had I lost my boyfriend, I lost my best friends. He and I had been together since high school, so naturally, we had all the same friends and formed the same circle. They all disappeared when he disappeared. I was in a place that I had never known before. I was lonely, I had no one to talk to and no one who really cared. So, the only real feeling I knew was hopelessness.
Waking up every day was so mundane and lifeless. I had nothing real in my life. My parents really didn't understand what I was going through. They didn't know how to deal with their eldest and only daughter who had just gone through her first real heartbreak. They were each other's first loves, so they had no real idea how it felt to lose one.
When word of my breakup got around, an old roommate from college reached out to me to see how I was doing. She made me realize there was more to life than him. Throughout our relationship, I always put him first. Losing friends was my fault because I never attempted to make my own. We had our friends and that was good enough for me at the time. But now, I realize that was not the right thing to do. You see, he was my whole life, my universe as I said, so I never really had a life of my own. He was my life. When he left, he took my life with him.
Finding friendship with my old roommate brought me back to life. She came back into my life at my lowest and weakest point and she truly revived me. She let me vent to her for hours and cry to her whenever a song came on that reminded me of him. The closer we got, the more I realized how much friends really matter in your life. She taught me that friendships are the most important relationships that you will ever have in your life, besides the relationship you have with yourself.
With her love, support and friendship, I found myself. She helped me take back my life. She taught me how to stand up for myself. We went to the beach and had horror movie marathons and sleepovers and ate more pizza than anyone probably should. But, it was the most liberating feeling to find out who I was again.
Finding a best friend actually taught me more about myself than losing my first love. They say breakups teach you a lot about yourself, but that wasn't the case for me. I threw myself into my friendships and blossomed into a better version of myself. It was as if the breakup had made me realize I wasn't reaching my full potential. I had grown so much and learned so much about myself in that year, it's hard to recognize the person I was during my relationship. I depended so much on my boyfriend for happiness, that I never realized all I needed to truly be happy was myself.
Being single has been incredibly therapeutic. I have discovered more about myself than I ever have before. I have grown to become independent, vivacious, and spontaneous. I once was timid and thought my only happiness was when I was playing the role of someone's girlfriend. Being single is being able to pick any show on Netflix, eating a whole box of pizza by yourself (or still having to share it if your bestie is there), and enjoying time with people you love. Family and friends have become the center of my world. I now realize how important they are to me, and how they should be to everyone.
I'm not saying relationships are terrible and you need to break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend immediately to fully become independent and to find yourself. But I want you to know that the most important thing you need to do is to take time and figure out who you are. Go discover yourself. Go on adventures, meet new friends, travel, eat a lot of pizza and binge watch as many shows as you want and know that you are an independent woman who doesn't need any version of a man to exist. Love doesn't only come in the form of "significant other."
Love yourself. Love who you are. Love your friends. Love your family. Love your life. That is the key to finding who you are. That is the key to happiness.

1) Later courses are more likely to wipe away sugar left in the mouth by the dessert, which is eaten first.
2) Individuals will most likely eat less by having a small dessert first.
While his points, may be debateable, Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada found a few more reasons why Dessert Before Dinner is undeniably the best!
1) It's our annual gala fundraiser, raising money to support Girl Scout leadership programs in Southern Nevada.
2) The desserts are yummy, the entertainment incredible, and the guests delightful!
Last Saturday, more than 250 people attended Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada's 5th annual Dessert Before Dinner gala. Guests were treated to desserts prepared by eight incredibly talented pastry chefs - each one using Girl Scouts Peanut Butter Patties cookie in their recipe. Local Girl Scouts performed Whitney Houston's, The Greatest Love of All in sign language for the guests and comedian Kevin Burke stopped by to shower the crowd with a few laughs before making his way to the Fitzgerald for his late night comedy show.
Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada presented Assemblywoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick with the Juliette Low Pearl Award, recognizing her longtime advocacy and support of Girl Scouts. Chef Jaret Blinn from Red Rock Resorts claimed the title "Master Cookie Chef" for the second time in a row and was rewarded with a $1,000 gift certificate from the evening's presenting sponsor, SuperPawn. And most importantly, more than $65,000 was raised to support Girl Scout leadership programs for girls in Southern Nevada!
Many thanks to all of the Girl Scouts, Volunteers, and Supporters who attended Dessert Before Dinner!

Studio photography can be pretty awful. Kids don't usually like sitting in one spot and being told what to do. Lighting can look pretty unnatural. And the whole experience can certainly feel a lot like pulling teeth (aka, not pleasant!).
Well, I refuse to do things that way.
That's one of the biggest reasons I'm drawn to an editorial style of photography. It's a style that relies on authentic expression. Personality. Natural-looking lighting. And images that look easy-going and fun... and real. It's not so different from photographing candid moments, actually. And it's absolutely perfect for capturing the many facets of a child's personality.
And it doesn't matter whether I'm photographing someone in their home or in my Studio, because I don't change my approach. My goal is always to create a meaningful image. A photograph that captures a little piece of time in that person's life. Their expression. Their interactions. A look. A smile. A simple portrait whose focus is the person, not styled objects.
And I stick with my approach. Because I believe in it with all my heart.
My studio doesn't have props or baskets. There are no whimsical chairs to sit in. No elaborate backgrounds. There's nothing extra that will add "interest" to the image, because I feel that the person in front of the camera is the most interesting already. I like things to be simple. And that's just me. That's what makes my heart sing and I plan on sticking with that. :)

The fact that it said the amount of goods bought through the internet over the last 12 years has totalled over £100bn caught my eye. But it is not the huge amount of online sales that should be taken note of, it is the speed of increased online purchases, with online transactions looking set to double this year compared with 2006.
The dominant search engines have grown to be some of the most powerful gatekeepers of commerce. If a website is not optimised as a listing on Google, you may need to rely on an unusual trading name to get a high listing on the search engine pages.
Another recent web-based research paper has just been commissioned by Double Click forming its annual Touchstone study and includes a segment of "influencers". The research considers how advertisers can have an impact on word of mouth promotion.
One of the most interesting findings is that influencers' favourite place to go to find out more about products is websites, but the second favourite choice is web advertising. Forty per cent of the influencers, versus 31 per cent of non-influencers, cite websites as their first choice for further learning about products. More surprising is that 19 per cent of the influencer segment say the place they go to learn more about products is web advertising, versus 8 per cent of non-influencers.
Rick Bruner, director of research at Doubleclick says: "People view web advertising differently to other forms of advertising. They see web advertising as most important in the 'consideration' part of the purchasing funnel. They pay more attention to advertising, in particular web advertising, when they are already aware of the product and are in shopping mode. That is partly because the internet is such a research-oriented tool for people and advertising is seen as a part of that".
IFA Promotion says only 63 per cent of its IFA members, comprising 9,000 branch addresses, have a website. have been told many reasons why an IFA firm does not have a web presence, such s "I don't want new non-referred clients", "we're a traditional business putting the emphasis on face-to-face service", "IFAs are technophobic and that includes me". Do any of these comments make commercial sense?
Am I also being too presumptuous to assume that all businesses have an email address? I am probably wrong, as the IFA Promotion statistics show that only 92 per cent of members have a business email address. How much time must the 8 per cent of firms waste by relying on snail mail?
With website builds and email hosting available from many parts of the world costing less than the average commission of a personal pension, it makes little sense to me that any service-led advisory firm does not use web and email services.
Only a tiny percentage of companies use blogs as communications tools but most firms will be using blogs in a few years and that means there is huge growth ahead for business blogging.
If a product or service is criticised on the main IFA blog site, Finserv, you might as well take the idea back to the drawing board. Influencers passing negative or positive comment on an industrywide blog site are one of the most effective ways to promote or demote products. Viral marketing can be one of the most effective ways to get your product or service to market. You need a web presence before you can maximise marketing opportunities. Moving your business online is not rocket science, it is common sense.

India-headquartered module manufacturer Vikram Solar has successfully completed the installation and grid connection of the countrys first floating PV power plant.
The R&D installation has been developed in collaboration with the Arka Renewable Energy College in Kolkata with the aim to create solar PV system that is suitable for connection on any body of water.
The Vikram Solar installation produces a minimum power generation of 14 MWh/year from its 10 x 1 kW fiberglass modules and has been securely anchored to the lakebed, which is located in Kolkatas New Town area. Vikram Solar also confirmed that the installation has been designed to last 25 years and is grid-connected via a submersible cable.
"The project underlines Vikram Solars strong track record and efforts to make solar energy available everywhere and for everyone even in the remotest and most challenging environments, such as water," said Vikram Solars head of business development and engineering, Miguel Monsalve.
According to Gon Chaudhuri, former MD of West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) and former advisor to the Indian state power department, the project has already attracted keen interest from ministers and engineers.
"A team of experts is coming from Lakshadweep to take a look at the project, as a similar project will be undertaken up there," said Chaudhuri. "Land is required for setting up any power plant, but a floating solar panel doesnt require any land since it is set up on a waterbody."
Japan which has pioneered floating solar PV projects due to acute land shortages leads the way in this field. In 2013 French EPC Ciel et Terre installed a 1.2 MW floating installation in Okegawa, and the company is also involved in a groundbreaking (not literally, though) 13.4 MW floating PV project penciled in for Japans Yamakura Dam.
This project will see Ciel et Terre attach 50,000 Kyocera modules to its patented Hydrelio floating platforms, with a completion date scheduled for March 2016. Once completed it will be the worlds largest floating PV installation for just a few months Californias Sonoma County is expected to have a 15 MW project up-and-running by fall 2016.

The goal of the Christian life is to become a people among whom the Holy One dwells. For Christians, holiness can only be achieved through a relationship with Jesus.
Donna Orsuto begins by examining the Hebrew Scriptures and showing how the concept of holiness is intimately intertwined with the idea of God, who is "Wholly Other" and transcendent, and yet paradoxically calls us into intimacy.
Both individuals and the Church are "temples" where God dwells. Although there are common characteristics of holiness, there are also many diverse ways of being holy. The sacraments, prayer and reflection on the word of God have traditionally been seen as ways of opening oneself up to the Holy One and of embracing one's responsibility as a Christian in society.
Orsuto offers a contemporary Christian understanding of holiness and considers topics such as the uniqueness of Christian holiness in a multi-faith society, the use and abuse of psychology in the quest for Christian holiness, and the dilemma of how the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church" can also be in need of reform.
Table of Contents

1) What is/are your store name(s) and number(s)?
Vals Playhouse Clip Store. Store #114456
2) Please give our readers an introduction on yourself, your store(s), and the role you play in bringing these fetish clips to life.
Hey, my name is Val. I've been camming for about 5 years now. After the first few years, I decided I needed more.. So I went on the hunt to find girls that not only turned me on, but would bring my online friends pleasure and excitement. In my store, you'll find my friends Tina, and Sophie. We hope to keep you cumming, and bring you all the naughty, nasty, and twisted kink you can handle!
3) When did you first develop an interest in the fetish world? What attracted you to this scene?
Before camming, my girlfriends and I were all pretty vanilla. I think that's one of the reasons we fit so well together. Camming takes you out of your comfort zone, and allows you to enter a world of many levels and depths. We guide each other through, and together we can reach lengths and heights we never imagined possible!
4) What specialty is your studio most known for, and what are some of the other fetishes viewers will see in your videos?
Our most requested, and favorite specialty to provide, is Joi (Jerk off instructional). When you're given the power and free range to tell someone exactly how to touch themselves, it's invigorating. I love knowing that my playmate has given up control, and it's up to me to enhance his (or her) pleasure, one stroke at a time. Mix that with other options, such as CEI, or ball tying, and it can be explosive. I want to make sure your heart is racing, cock is throbbing, and your ears are ringing when I make you shoot your load everywhere for me!
Our second favorite fetish would have to be SPH (Small penis humiliation). In the very beginning, this fetish baffled me. I couldn't understand what possess someone to pay another person to make fun of them. I started offering free sessions, in exchange for an interview afterwards. I had to know what the person felt, from beginning to end, and what the aftermath was like. After diving into this fetish, I felt not only more comfortable, but excited about how intense the entire process is, not only sexually, but psychologically! So if you're that guy, come play with us! We know exactly what you need!
5) What do you personally like to see in porn, and what turns you on in your personal life?
The girls and I have talked about this many times… All of us have similar tastes, but for the most part, it depends on the mood at the time. When were all together late at night, we can always agree on crazy lesbian porn. We normally wrestle for the remote to decide if it's vanilla, or bondage!
6) What are some of your turnoffs – both in porn and your personal life?
Stingy guys… And that goes for in the wallet, or bedroom. Gotta take care of your girl, orgasms, and spoiling her!
7) In your opinion, what makes a good fetish scene?
There's not really one magical rule or trick to making a good scene.. I think it's a combination of everything that really determines it's worth. My girls and I like to cover all of our bases. When you look and feel your best, it really translates well to the video…When we get ready to film, we make sure to set the atmosphere, get comfortable with each other beforehand. We've often joked about how people would be so upset if they only knew what we did to prepare for the clips…
So here it is.. I'll clue you in, if you promise not to tell? 😉 Our number one tradition is getting warmed up prior to filming. Sometimes we make out, and touch, kiss, and tease each other… Other times we break out the Hitachi and vibrate our way into bliss… The only catch is there is absolutely no orgasm allowed.. That way when you see us grinding, teasing or playing on the video, you can see that it's real. There's no faking, or dramatic acting.. It's real girls, having fun, and edging our way through until we finally allow ourselves to cum!
8) Are there any fetishes that intrigue you, but you've yet to explore for one reason or another?
Absolutely! Just about every fetish and taboo intrigues me! If it wasn't, it would be vanilla!
9) Will you be attending any conventions this year? Any industry events fans should look forward to?
Not as this time, but check in on our twitter for updates! @TinaNVal
10) What do you like to do when you're not making fetish videos?
We are gun collectors, and constantly training in self defence and competitive shooting!
11) Fetish activities aside, what's your idea of the perfect evening?
Shooting range, dinner, and a movie! Dessert is on us!
12) If you had to define yourself in one word, what would that word be and why?
13) Please share an unknown fact that your followers would be surprised to learn about you?
Val is a sleep walker!
14) What does the future hold for the fetish film world in your opinion?
I believe the industry will be flooded within the next few years. The world is changing fast, but the one thing that will always remain is sex.
15) Thanks for giving us a little of your time. Anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know a little more about us! We love hearing from our fans, and we're always up for exploring new requests! If you're looking for anything that we don't currently have up for sale, contact us for a custom video!

How to Tell If Your Double Glazing Windows Need Replacing
Posted on April 28, 2017
It is surprising how little we know about double glazing and why it works considering the vast majority of us have it in our homes. In fact, almost all new builds now include double glazing windows as standard. Yet, few people realise that it has a lifespan, in the same way, that roofs and central heating systems do.
The highest quality double glazing in Ipswich can be expected to last a decade or more, so it is easy to get value for money if you pick the right installer. Right up until the end of its life, there should be no misting of the panes, no accelerated heat loss, and no reduction in sound absorbency. If these things are happening to your windows, you might need replacements.
Keep reading to find out how to tell if double glazing in Suffolk needs replacing with a newer, stronger installation.
The Common Signs of Wear and Age
Double glazed windows which are very old or of a poor quality tend to develop little holes. It allows moisture to get inside, between the two panes of glass, even though they are supposed to form an airtight vacuum. Once inside, the moisture heats up and condenses, so you get an unsightly mist across the surface of the double glazing.
It can be pretty frustrating because it obscures light and it means that the double glazing is not performing as well it should anymore. It is likely to be leaking heat to the outside and causing your home to run less efficiently too. While you can always wait it out – the misting does not make the window unsafe in any way – it will not fix itself. You need a replacement.
The Biggest Stresses and Strains
For double glazing in Ipswich, the most significant stressors are the elements and poor design. One of these things you can only have limited control over, unfortunately. For instance, windows which look directly onto strong sunlight tend to be the ones which mist up first. They have a slightly shorter lifespan because the UV rays are quite tough on the glass.
The most common issues are with the installation, so it is important that your double glazing in Suffolk gets fitted by an expert team. If the unit is not positioned firmly on the packers, it will shift and move. This causes pockets of air to appear and seal to become degraded. Try to hire an installer with a superb local reputation and lots of glowing customer reviews.
The Right Way to Find an Installer
The best way to get a feel for a company is to talk directly with a representative. You can read all of the online testimonials that you like, but the aim should always be to speak to somebody directly too. It will allow you to answer any questions that you have about the installation process; perhaps regarding the double glazing materials, or how long fitting takes.
You can request a cost estimate and discuss the best type of double glazing for your home. Ultimately, it is worth spending a little more time and money to invest in a product which is going to last for a decade or more, as it is intended to. Good double glazing has the potential to save you hundreds on your energy bills, each year, so it is a true investment.
For more information and advice on double glazing installations, visit Ironglaze. Or, call 01473 40022 to request a cost estimate for your home.

I've been a professional actor for almost a decade, an amateur baker for the past five year and an allergy kid since birth. Growing up the only way I got to eat dessert was if it was homemade, the only place to find non-dairy milks was at the health food store, and dairy free cheese looked and tasted like plastic. Oh how things have changed! With vegan options available more widely, I can get my hands on all sorts of goodies at my local grocery store. But in the end, homemade is always better. Decadent, delicious desserts can be made dairy and egg free! So join me in my adventures in baking, travel and everyday life.

Coral and Gray Bridal Shower Cupcake Tower
Gray and coral is a very popular wedding color scheme right now. We created this cupcake tower for a bridal shower with those colors. The topper cake was done with gray polka dots, a large heart with the couple's initials and topped with coral roses. The cupcakes were topped with gray and coral polka dots and with hearts imprinted with the wedding date. We used our new matte silver cupcake liners which I love. Our customer rented our 4 tier white cupcake tower to display the sweets.
