Topic Page: Torvalds, Linus (1969 - )
Finnish computer scientist. He invented the Linux operating system in 1991 while a student at the University of Helsinki in 1991. Instead of founding a company to sell his work, he distributed it freely over the Internet, releasing the source code, which meant that anyone with knowledge of computer programming could alter or customize it. In 2000, Time magazine put him at number 17 in the 'Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century Poll'.
Described as a pioneer of open source software, Torvalds became a cult hero to a devoted band of computer users around the world, and the Linux system was to present a major challenge to the computer industry's dominant players. In the late 1990s the Linux software gained increasing acceptance and major database companies, including Oracle and Informix, announced plans to develop Linux versions of their software. Torvalds moved to Santa Clara in California in 1999 to work for Transmeta Corp., backed by US computer entrepreneur Paul Allen.
Torvalds was born in Helsinki. From the age of ten, he began to experiment with computer programming on his grandfather's Commodore VIC-20, before going on to study for his master's degree in computer science. Dissatisfied with the MS-DOS operating system on his home PC, Torvalds decided to work on a version of the UNIX software used at his university. Creating a kernel – the code at the heart of the operating system that works directly with the processor – Torvalds released the Linux 02, the first functional Linux operating system, in October 1991 and made it free and available to everyone. Linux soon had a following of enthusiastic supporters around the world, who, because they had access to the source code, were able to collaborate voluntarily on the development of the system.
Torvalds, Linus

Robert Kirby, humorist for the Salt Lake Tribune, was recently suspended for 3 months for interactions he had with a woman at Sunstone, a conference of Mormon fringe elements.
I first need to confess that I have a strong respect for Robert Kirby's views, although I have never met him or talked to him. Beyond his humor, his stated beliefs about Mormon doctrine, policy, and procedures closely parallel mine. We are both males and roughly the same age. But our backgrounds are totally different. Enough said.
At Sunstone, it is alleged that Kirby started a conversation with a female co-panelist with an inappropriate comment. The 2 then had a discussion that involved her being offered and accepting pot. During their panel discussion at the conference, Kirby outed her for taking pot. After the panel, the two had their photograph taken together, with the woman tilting her head toward Kirby.
Last week, the woman, on her popular feminist facebook page, outed Kirby for his inappropriate behavior. Kirby issued a public apology (which many called lame) and the Tribune investigated the incident. The columnist was suspended for 3 months. The newspaper implied that there may have been other incidents. But they weren't specific.
During post-facebook-post period, my daughter and I exchanged numerous texts. She sort of sided with the feminist and I with Kirby. I've also discussed the incident with female acquaintances.
I can agree that Kirby's opening line to his co-panelist was inappropriate. Since he apparently didn't know her, offering her pot was certainly bad judgement, and outing her for consuming it was a serious faux pas. However, since I don't find pot consumption to be a serious issue (although it is still illegal in Utah), I'm ambivalent about this part of the story. The photograph of the two of them together raises some interesting questions.
Kirby's behavior was gauche. Poking fun of institutions, and to a lesser degree people (particularly himself), is a big part of his act. For this reason, he a very popular speaker. I don't doubt that he is "full of himself." However, in his column he expresses deep affection for his wife and 4 daughters.
The feminist co-panelist is an adult. At what point is she responsible for her own actions? After Kirby's opening line, she could have refused to further engage with him. She certainly could have refused the pot. And what's with that photograph?
Kirby is not the woman's boss. As far as I know, he has no job-related or other hold over her. They are equals. Her excuse for going along with him was: hero worship.
Kirby, in his apology, wished that she had talked to him privately. A reasonable wish, under the circumstances. But Kirby is a public figure and as such is fair game, I guess. Feminist lined up to support the woman, including the likes of Kate Kelly. Me, I'm not so sure.
Male/female relationship as it relates to power and other issues are currently under serious scrutiny. And justifiably so. But I'm not sure this is a very good case of an injustice. Poor judgment certainly.
What if I had been approached by a famous "progressive" woman that I admired at Sunstone. What if she had referred to me a lothario or gigolo? If I perceived that it was in jest, I would continue the conversation. I'm not easily offended. When offered pot, would I accept? I don't know, but I wouldn't feel any pressure to take it. If I took it, I'm fair game to being outed. Remember pot is not a big deal to me, and hell it's Sunstone. Beside, I could laugh it off. And most of all, if I'm deeply insulted, I wouldn't pose for a friendly photograph.
I realize that the reverse situation is hardly equal. But it does provide something to think about.

Now you can turn your old bathroom into a more modern bathroom. There are several things you need to consider though, starting from the bathroom layout up to accessories selection. The following explanation will help you.
To create a modern bathroom interior, choose the right wall colors. Some recommended colors for a modern bathroom are brown, beige, white, grey, and purple. You can also use wallpaper for your bathroom.
The next important thing for a modern bathroom design is the tiles. You should replace the old tiles with the new ones. Find the ones which are suitable with the bathroom walls. You can choose granite wall and floor tiles for a modern and soft impression. It is a good idea to search for some pictures of bathroom hotels as references.
The right accessory selection will make your bathroom look way more modern. Use a mirror with a modern touch. This mirror will make your bathroom look larger. You can place it near the sink or bath tub. It is also a good idea to add other accessories such as small lamps to create a warm impression in your bathroom.
The selection of bathroom curtains is also important to consider. Choose curtain colors which are suitable to the colors of the wall and floor. This will make the bathroom look cleaner. You can also create a modern bathroom interior by presenting a cabinet with a modern style. This cabinet will help you in storing toiletries.
By applying the above tips to your old bathroom, you can get a more comfortable bathroom with a modern style. In addition, these tips will help optimizing the function of the bathroom itself.

The Effects Of Alcohol On Fat Burning And Weight Loss
For many people, one of the hardest changes to grasp when it comes to meeting their health and fitness goals is giving up alcohol.
They wonder if they really need to do so. Can't they just have one drink a week and be okay?
Or, what if it's one drink nightly – will that work?
Before you get yourself all worked up over this, let's go over some facts to know about alcohol intake and your progress.
Alcohol And Calories
The very first thing that you should note is the fact that alcohol is very calorie dense.
For every gram of alcohol you take in, you'll be getting 7 calories total.
This is almost as much as the calorie content in fat, which comes in at 9 calories per gram.
It adds up fast. And, this doesn't include the calorie content of any mixers you might be adding such as juice, milk, cream, soft drinks, or otherwise.
What's even worse is that the alcohol may reduce your will power to say no to other foods you shouldn't be eating, so that drink might also mean you consuming chicken wings, handfuls of chips, or a plate of nachos.
Overall, this could easily add up to over 2000 calories by night's end. If you do this regularly every week, you could completely be wiping out the fat burning progress you would have otherwise seen from a week of hard work.
Alcohol And Speed Of Fat Burning
Another thing to note is that alcohol will also influence the overall speed of fat burning taking place in your body as well. The minute you put alcohol into your system is the minute that fat burning comes to an immediate halt.
Only once that alcohol is oxidized off will you begin to resume fat burning once again. So you can basically think of fat burning taking a break each time you consume alcohol.
What's worse is that the fact your body is now in prime fat storage mode when alcohol is in the picture combined with the fact you might be eating fatty foods or adding mixers rich in sugar only amplifies the situation.
With insulin levels high thanks to that sugar you took in, your body will rapidly begin shuttling the calories from the food and/or liquid you consume straight into body fat storage.
This is why people so often gain weight quickly when drinking.
Alcohol And Your Recovery Rates
Finally, also keep in mind that alcohol will also influence your overall recovery rates as well.
If you have a workout planned for the next day, you might find that you aren't feeling as well as you normally are and your performance is down.
If you're really hung-over, you might not even go to the gym in the first place. At that point, it's now really impacting your progress.
So as you can see, alcohol is not a good thing when it comes to the results that you hope to be seeing.
If you drink one drink every now and then, this isn't likely something to get worked up over. It will be fine as long as you're good and sticking with your program the rest of the time.
But, if you tend to drink at least one beverage a day, it's something that you will want to cut back on if you hope to achieve your weight loss goals. This level of drinking will sabotage your success, causing frustration to set in.
If you absolutely must drink, try and minimize the damage by selecting a plain sugar-free liquor such as Vodka, and mixing with soda water or even just water.
For added taste squeeze fresh lime and even add ten drops of Stevia for sweetness – and avoiding all unhealthy food that evening.

In this week's '3 Minute Visions' – our space dedicated to putting the roast-dinner leftovers of news through the blender of analysis, to produce the speedy soup of synopsis – we have asked the brilliant Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, to talk about the Tories' election campaign.
I am delighted to be asked to explain our manifesto to you, especially because, unlike Ed Miliband, we would never deliberately destroy our armed forces and hand this country over to the Soviets.
Our pledges to you, the voters, are based on not stabbing people in the back, like Ed does on a daily basis. I can't tell you how I know this, but not only did he do this to his brother, David, he also stabbed several sick children in the face whilst "visiting" Great Ormond Street!!! (Additionally he runs the 'We still love Savile' fan club.)
With the Conservatives, what you'll get is more good stuff, and less of the bad stuff Ed Miliband does, like handing out drugs to schoolchildren, fighting for Isis in Islington, and torturing beekeepers, to bring down the British honey industry.
Another thing that a lot of people don't realise about us Conservatives, and one of our great strengths, is that we weren't directly responsible for the death of a beloved ex-Royal in a car crash in a Parisian tunnel in 1997. Guess who was… that's right; Ed Miliband.
But this isn't about negative campaigning. I want to highlight the positive manifesto promises that the Prime Minister and I are making for the defence of this great nation. For eg., whereas I believe in a strong Britain, Ed Miliband has frequently released packs of ravenous wild pigs into old people's homes, where they have gored and torn apart the bodies of people's dear old grans and twinkly-eyed grandfathers.
Then he stands amidst the horrible carnage of blood, dismembered flesh, and gorging swine, laughing maniacally and masturbating into a cup, which he then forces the Queen to swallow.
So remember when you go to the polling booths; this election is about policy not personality – policy and keeping Red Ed from unleashing dirty Scottish barbarian hordes to rape your children.
Michael Fallon MP,
MP and Member of Parliament

The role of Arab women is often perceived one-sided in Western countries. In fact this perception must be revised when looking at the achievements of women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The booming economy - one of the fastest growing economies in the world - demands for a well educated society. A 2005 Forbes list of "Women to Watch in the Middle East" included two Emirati women. Telling the success stories of Emirati women in leadership positions will give exposure to the West and serve to counterpoint existing prejudices about the opportunities for women in the UAE.

Syndactyly Diagnosis and Webbed Fingers Treatment
Syndactyly is a congential deformity where two or more digits (fingers or toes) are fused together. There are several classifications of the condition which dictates the extent of treatment needed.
- Simple syndactyly involves only the soft tissue of the digits.
- Complex syndactyly occurs when the bones of the two digits are fused.
- Complete syndactyly is the classification for fingers fused from the base to tip.
- Incomplete syndactyly refers to instances where only a portion of the soft tissue is connected.
- Complicated syndactly is the most severe, and occurs where the bones of more than two digits are fused, most often in a side-to-side fashion.
A physical examination, aided by X-rays, is needed to diagnose this condition as well as plan for proper treatment. If the condition is not severe enough to impede hand function, no treatment may be needed. Because syndactyly may be a symptom of other, more serious conditions, examination by a physician is necessary, even in mild cases.
If treatment is warranted, surgery is performed to separate the fused fingers as well as add skin needed to fully cover the fingers. This is generally done with a skin graft, often taken from the groin area. The specific procedure performed depends upon the extent and type of the deformity being corrected. More than one surgery may be needed in some cases. Surgical treatment is generally performed on patients between the ages of 6 months and two years.
Dr. Fiore specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Syndactyly. He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and fellowship trained in hand surgery. For more information on treatment options, or to schedule a consultation, call Fiore Hand and Wrist at (281) 970-8002.

JOHNSBURG — Superintendent of Highways Dan Hitchcock has recommended the Johnsburg Town Board consider an alternative to spending $920,000 to construct a span bridge over a culvert on Glen Creek Road.
Hitchcock submitted a letter, dated July 17, to the board to suggest repairs to the 9-foot arch culvert he said was damaged during a storm.
"It was torn apart by a storm," Hitchcock said. "I had reports of over five inches of rain and it tore up the whole bottom of the culvert and the road collapsed."
Hitchcock said the Glen Creek Road remains closed at the culvert.
Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on the New Jersey shoreline in Oct. 29, 2012, caused problems with the same culvert.
"We have been working on it for some time and now it completely failed," Hitchcock said.
He said a single lane bridge could be installed for about $74,500.
Hitchcock said between July 1 and July 17, he had several meetings with members of the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Warren County Sewer and Water Department to come to an agreement about how to make repairs.
According to Hitchcock, the Army Corps would not permit a liner to be installed in the culvert based on fish passage regulations.
"Twenty percent of the culvert has to be below the stream bed," he said, adding that it allows the bottom of the culvert to fill in with natural silt, plants, and animal life. He said the Army Corps would require either a large, bottomless box culvert or a bridge to be installed.
Hitchcock said a bridge not less than 24-feet long would be needed, and he received an engineer's estimate of $920,000. However, he contacted Matrax, a Pennsylvania company from which the town purchased a hinged, portable bridge in the past. He said the company offers a three-section, permanent structure with one, 16-foot lane, and which is rated to allow tractor trailers. He said the bridge would cost $74,500 plus shipping.
Hitchcock said a contractor to construct concrete footers, and his department could install the prefabricated bridge.
The culvert, he said, is located over bedrock, so the contractor would simply have to drill into the ledge rock, pin the footings in and go from there.
"My department can do the rest, and it will be a huge savings for the town," he said.
Hitchcock estimated the permanent bridge would cost not more than $100,000. He said it was nothing to spend $400,000 for a box culvert, and he had received estimates for a new bridge at Harvey Road for $750,000.
The town board approved an agreement to authorize up to $100,000 for the project.
Hitchcock said he was disappointed with the Army Corps' refusal to permit a liner to be put in the culvert, which would have opened up the road. As it is, he said the road is closed to all traffic, including emergency vehicles.
Hitchcock said he has enough money in his department's Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) fund to pay for the bridge, but he has been spending a lot of money on bridge repairs at the expense of road repairs. He said he is only repaving seven-tenths of a mile of road this year because most of the money is going into bridges.

Should residents support transit improvements, including more frequent service and the Red Line?
I grew up in Chicago and took the Milwaukee Road to the Loop and the CTA to Wrigley Field. When I married my wife and we lived in Chesterton, then later South Bend, I commuted on the South Shore.
On those trains, the rider is not in control of his schedule; he or she is controlled by the train schedule. When you get to work, when you leave for home, every aspect of your day is focused on not missing the train.
Trains and buses are not happy places. Somber, hurried passengers cast their wary glance away from the strangers next to them whose personal space they have inadvertently but necessarily invaded. Few would choose a train or a bus over a car, if they had a choice.
Public transit works best when many people seek access to a very congested place—such as the Loop area in Chicago or Wall Street in Manhattan. These are old systems, developed privately in the years before the internal combustion engine and the interstate. Over the centuries, they have ingrained themselves into the fabric of their communities—while unfortunately requiring larger and larger public subsidies to survive. In older cities, verticality and density were the solution to urban transportation issues.
The price of parking a car is around $50 per day in Chicago and $100 in New York. Many white-collar men and women with six-figure incomes in those cities "choose" public transportation for obvious economic reasons.
Cities that grew up post-World War II are more likely defined by their sprawl. Many have embarked upon massive publicly funded programs to transplant a public transit culture into a car town.From 1983 to 2012, Dallas invested more than $8.2 billion in a system that today carries only 4 percent of the area's daily work commuters. And, by the way, ridership is declining.
In gridlocked Atlanta, ridership is down 15 percent from 2001.
Will public transit work in Indianapolis? And, if so, for whom? For many years,I have believed public transit is worth a public operating subsidy for one of three reasons:
• Assist the medically transit-dependent.
• Assist the economically transit-dependent.
• Provide congestionreduction.
If Indianapolis increases taxes to fund transit improvements, some of the money would go toward increasing the frequency of bus service across the IndyGo system. But some also would fund operating costs of the Red Line. How would a train-like bus benefit more than a very small portion of the community? Is this equitable? Is it equitable to charge someone for a service they likely never will use or for that matter even see? I just do not get it.
Advocates suggest that "transit-oriented development" will spur new or more dense development in the proximity of the transit corridor.
Let's assume this is the case. If so, in corridors where advocates foresee that transit will add value to real estate, why not capture the incremental property tax value growth over and above the county as a whole and use these funds to pay for the service? The same could be done for income taxes of those living within the transit corridor.
Could such a bond backed by that incremental tax revenue be sold? If not, what are the financial markets telling us?
I'd be all for public transit expansion if I thought it would work. I believe the advocates and their consultants honestly believe the ridership and operating cost projections they provide, but time after time they overestimated the former and underestimated the latter. I encourage Indianapolis to look before we leap.•

Danube Virtual Museum > Serbia > Natural Heritage > Nature Parks > Begečka jama
Nature Park "Begečka Jama"
Nature Park "Begečka Jama", located on the left bank of the Danube near the village of Begeč, includes a approximate 7.8 km long (1276.2 to 1284 rkm) wetland between Bačka Palanka and Novi Sad. The protected area contains a number of geomorphologic types of fluvial erosion - islands, beams, oxbow lakes and still waters, created mutually by fluvial erosion and reclamation. These types are from different ages and in accordance with that, the mosaic of wetland habitats is also at different stages of vegetation succession of the floodplains. The survival of this phenomenon is caused by the natural dynamics of flooding.
The area is dominated by Begečka Jama - a fluvial lake which is connected to the Danube via Begej canal and has a permanent presence of water. It is an extremely important torus for numerous types of Danube fish and the reproductive center for amphibians of the wider area.
Rich diversity of flora
Its rich diversity of flora is reflected in the presence of 125 taxons of higher plants (122 species and 3 sub-species). The species that are listed on the Red List of Serbian flora are Black Hawthorn (Crataegus nigra) and Summer Snowflake (Leucojum aestivum). Highly protected species are White Lotus (Nymphaea albа) and Longleaf Pondweed (Potamogeton nodosus).
Rich spezia diversity of fauna:
Dragonflies (Epitheca bimaculata, Gomphus flavipes) – protected species;
There are 17 types of habitats in the area of Begečka Jama that have been allocated for priority protection. The most important types are: white willow (Salix alba), white poplar (Populus alba), black poplar (Populus nigra), almond willow (Salix triandra) and hornworts sp. (Ceratophyllum sp.) and watermilfoil (Myriophyllum sp.) of eutrophic standing waters.

Second-Class Rights Yet Again? Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the Report of the National Human Rights Consultation
University of New South Wales Law Journal, Vol. 33, No. 1, pp. 193-238, 2010
46 Pages Posted: 4 Jul 2010
Date Written: July 3, 2010
In September 2009 the National Human Rights Consultation Committee delivered its report to the Australian government on the results of its inquiry into the protection of human rights in Australia. That report contained many recommendations to enhance the understanding and protection of human rights in Australia. This article examines the treatment by the Committee of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) in comparison with civil and political rights (CPR). While the Committee recognised the status and importance of ESCR, its doubts about the 'justiciability' of ESCR and the appropriateness of courts playing a role in their implementation meant that it did not support the inclusion of ESCR in the legislative bill of rights it proposed, though ESCR were included in other proposed reforms.
This article argues that, while the NHRCC's recommendations had the potential to improve the observance and enjoyment of ESCR, its proposals to limit the full inclusion of ESC rights in its preferred scheme of rights protection were underpinned by an undue emphasis on differences between ESCR and CPR rights. These recommendations were also based on a traditional understanding of the nature of ESC rights that has been fundamentally challenged as a result of academic and judicial developments over the last three decades. In adopting this approach, the NHRCC once again constituted ESC rights as the poor cousin in the world of human rights protection, even as it made proposals that would strengthen their protection in some respects. The article also analyses the treatment of ESCR in the Australian Human Rights Framework, announced by the Government in April 2010 in its response to the Report.

Dr. Boermeester spoke about the management of wound infections during the 30th Annual European Congress on Surgical Infections, held in Hamburg (Germany) in June. Dr. Boermeester emphasizes the prevention of surgical wound infection through the use of subcutaneous rather than intraabdominal drains, and through use of negative pressure wound therapy. He also provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the use of drains in different surgeries as well as the evidence on closed wound management.
With respect to the treatment of surgical site infection, various options, such as antibiotics, percutaneous drainage, wound debridement, and negative wound therapy are discussed, including a detailed explanation of negative wound therapy with instillation.

Prerequisite(s): Rogue 10, worship a deity that grants the Trickery and Travel domains (or their subdomains)
Benefit(s): With the help of the rogue's deity, the rogue can track down the recipient of the message he bears. If the rogue possesses some piece of information about the recipient that uniquely identifies her (like a unique name or a childhood memory), or an item that belongs to the recipient, it is as though the runner has cast a locate creature spell with the recipient as its subject – though the spell has a duration of "until the message is delivered" and has a range of "unlimited." Unlike the spell locate creature, Jaunter's Seeking is not broken by running water or polymorph. It is still fooled by mislead and nondetection unless the rogue makes a successful check against the nondetection effect (CL equal to the rogue's class level). If the subject is on a different plane the rogue learns the name of the plane and the direction to the closest portal to that plane.

How to Attract Love In Your Life Using The Law of Attraction
The holiday season of December 2015 has been a tumultuous time in Katarina Phang's Feminine Magnetism Facebook group for dozens of reasons. With a hyperactive group of over 2800 women from around the world, there have been 9 wedding proposals this month (AND 7 last month!), making 50 engagements for the entire year (as of this writing!). These women have discovered how to attract love in your life.
There has also been a multitude of breakups in the group happening at the same time. As a group moderator entering my fourth holiday season in the forum, I've witnessed much joy and anxiety being expressed this month, more than ever. While my position offers a unique window into thousands of romantic relationships, this month in Kat's forum taught me how "Inner Work" activates the law of attraction and attracts love into your life.
An important part of Kat's teachings is that we participate in "Inner Work" in order to improve our romantic relationships. That means taking a hard and honest look at childhood issues, self-beliefs, past relationships, ANYTHING that is possibly affecting your current situation.
I'm a firm believer that our relationships are a reflection of our inner selves, and that it's important to look within ourselves to identify the subconscious self-limiting beliefs that are running the show behind the scenes.
When a woman finds herself chasing unavailable men, subconscious limiting beliefs such as "I'm not worthy of love" are at work. While a woman may consciously reject that she believes that about herself, one deep look at her current romantic relationship(s) will reflect how she feels about herself.
Emotionally available women cannot remain in toxic relationships for long because they value themselves too highly to stay.
When new women come to the group, they are usually focused on a particular man. Many haven't read Kat's book He's Really That Into You, He's Just Not Ready yet, and their anxious posts reflect that they're in crisis mode: "How long does leaning back take for my guy to come back?," "Does leaning back really work?," and "Help! Remind me why I shouldn't call him!"
The veterans in the group quickly step in with advice and tough love, and the woman begins the journey of a lifetime – going WITHIN herself. And that is when the magic happens. After being in the group for a while, a woman learns to refocus on herself, and she experiences an energetic shift as she raises her own vibration. She finds her personal "Goddess Zone" of self-love, and begins making different choices to stay there.
These anxious women don't yet understand that to truly attract love in your life, you first need to surrender to how it's going to show up. If you are focused on one particular man and one particular outcome, you are blocking love's path.
The first step to attract love in your life is to let go of controlling the outcome!
As a result of women making this shift, the men in their lives respond! Sometimes, the original guy will respond by miraculously getting his act together – without her saying or doing a thing! – and claim the woman for a committed relationship. Other times, the original guy will leave altogether because he is no longer a vibrational match for a "High Value Woman." And many times, a brand new man will appear "out of the blue" and sweep the woman off her feet.
I'm not surprised that there have been so many engagements in Kat's group this year, and I've witnessed this type of transformation too many times to chalk it up to coincidence. When a woman gets clear on her inner beliefs about being worthy of love, THEN she attracts love in her life and gets the loving relationship. It will be with either with the man who brought her to the group in the first place, or with a brand new wonderful man she hadn't even expected.
My personal belief is that reaching the "Goddess Zone" is what activates "The Law of Attraction." A woman who takes "The Journey Inward" to raise her own self-worth becomes a magnet for real love and will naturally attract love in her life with no effort!
So for me, the truth is clear: Inner Work Creates Outer Results.
If you are ready to take the journey inward, and attract real love, check out Kat's online courses.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness of Wii Fit training on balance control in older adults compared with physical therapy training.
DESIGN: Quasi-experimental design.
PARTICIPANTS: Eight males and nine females aged 53 to 91 years.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants were divided into three groups: one group received both physical therapy training and Wii Fit training (PW group), one group received Wii Fit training alone (WI group), and one group received physical therapy training alone (PT group). Training consisted of three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
MAIN OUTCOME: Berg Balance Scale (all groups) and Bubble Test (PW and WI groups) scores.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics, medians, interquartile ranges and 95% confidence intervals are reported to identify trends in balance control as a result of different types of training.
RESULTS: All subjects showed improvement in the Berg Balance Scale and Bubble Test scores. The PT and PW groups tended to perform better than the WI group on the Berg Balance Scale following treatment. Although the differences in the Bubble Test score were not substantial between the PW and WI groups, the PW group performed slightly better than the WI group on the Berg Balance Scale.
CONCLUSIONS: Wii Fit training appears to improve balance. However, physical therapy training on its own or in addition to Wii Fit training appears to improve balance to a greater extent than Wii Fit training alone.

Thanks for clarifying, Glenn. Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to see their show live. Wish I had. Glad you were able to. I have seen them on T.V. and Video quite a bit, though. They will always be top of my list. LOVE those guys.
I do agree with Mr. Townsend. The number 10 doesn't really work here.

Nobody mentioned Richiardi, Jr. I saw him many years ago at the Village Gate in NYC and again a few years later at Madison Square Garden. If you ever saw him perform the Broom Suspension, you would rank him as one of the greatest stage illusionists.
Although I have only seen a brief clip of him doing the Thumb Tie, I think that Willard the Wizard also deserves a spot on the list. He had at least three completely different two hour illusion shows. Who else could do that today?

I had the opportunity to see Siegfried & Roy live at the Mirage and it was a very impressive show. It was one of the best stage shows ever.The one thing I really remember was the energy that Roy had on stage and every show both he and Siegfried acted toward the audience like this show was their first and showed a lot of enthusiasm. So sad about Roy now, sure hope he has a total recovery as they both deserve recognition for what they did for magic.

"Greatest" is one of the difficult words here. Of course, there are many magicians I would LOVE to have seen and many of my favorites I don't think are the "greatest". Nonetheless, this futile pursuit is continued here... https://www.carnivalofillusion.com/best-......time.php Amazingly there is FILM of many of them! We based this list on which magicians altered the future of magic. That is how we chose to interpret the definition of "great".

Generally not a fan of these "top 10 greatest" lists, but I will chime in on Seigfried & Roy. I saw the show in 2000 and really liked it. Maybe not the most mind blowing magic ever seen, but visually it had to be the most spectacular show I'm ever likely to witness. Everything about it, from the tigers to the costumes to the music and staging was just fantastic. It would only be a year or two after that Roy's mishap would force the show to close, so I'm lucky I got to see it when I did.

Skydance last June scored the rights to Asimov's estate, and since then, David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman, who will serve as executive producers and showrunners, have been working on developing a TV show based on the Foundation books. Goyer has previously worked on "The Dark Knight," "Batman Begins," Ghost Rider," and more, while Friedman is known for "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Emerald City."
Foundation is Isaac Asimov's most popular and well-known science fiction series, which includes titular novel Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation, along with additional books Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth.
The series follows psychohistory expert and mathematician Hari Seldon who is able to predict the future. Seldon creates a group called the Foundation to preserve humanity's collective knowledge ahead of the impending fall of the Galactic Empire. The novels span many years and cover the rise and fall of multiple empires, so it isn't a simple undertaking to adapt it into a TV show.
Along with the Foundation-based TV show, Apple is working on several other science fiction shows, including a reboot of Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories," an untitled space drama developed by Ronald D. Moore, best known for the 2004 reboot of "Battlestar Galactica," and an epic world-building drama called "See," which is set in the future.
Apple has more than a dozen TV shows in development in total, and rumors have suggested we could see the first of these debut starting in 2019. For a full list of what Apple's working on, make sure to check out the original content section of our Apple TV roundup.

A fresh memory foam mattress:
The memory mattress is comfortable, but that it heats up a lot and makes you sweat. This sentence is pronounced a huge number of times when we talk about memory mattresses. And at that moment, like raindrops, all the opinions of grandmothers, aunts, sisters-in-law, and mother-in-law arrive.
Better the wool mattress, better the latex, the springs and then again the memory mattress. In a circle of gossip and common beliefs infinite, which does not answer the question: does the memory mattress warm up?
If you are a sales and offers lover, read about upcoming sales on Sleep Junkie and find the best deals on mattresses and beds.
The memory foam:
The name memory is the most common together with memory foam, in common speech, to indicate memory foam; i.e. viscoelastic polyurethane foam.
For now, let us just remember that it is a thermosensitive and eco-friendly synthetic foam. What these two terms mean, very simple: eco-friendly means that the material, although not natural, is made respecting the environment, without the use of toxic substances and without the release of pollutants. Temperature sensitive means that it reacts to heat, in this way the warmer it becomes, the softer it becomes, the colder it becomes the stiffer it becomes.
However, of good quality which complaints about this problem, concentrated above all in the warmest regions. Does this mean that the memory mattress is not very suitable for those who live by the sea or those who manage to stay short all year long? Absolutely not. In fact, taking the necessary precautions can minimize the problem.
Consequently, a material that reacts to heat is natural that, if not carried out with due care and attention, it can make people perceive an unpleasant feeling of excessive heat. The problem was more frequent with the old types of viscoelastic polyurethane foams. Today it is limited to those of mediocre quality and the cheapest products. Nevertheless, there is still a minority of users of memory mattresses.
The memory that does not heat up:
How can a product that reacts to heat not heat up? There are several solutions. The most used one is that the cellular structure, i.e. the set of particles that make up the polyurethane foam, is open that is able to let the air molecules pass, making the memory foam "breathe". Another solution is the more spartan one of using perforated memory foam, which increases the effectiveness of the open cellular structure. However, even with these measures, there is a remnant of customers who claim to still perceive the problem.

So I was talking to a friend and she was saying something about this story she'd come up with, story X, in which Y and Z happened. And I'm like- that sounds cool. And she says, Yeah, a friend of mine said it had already been done so I never did get around to doing anything with it.
Man, I can't tell you how much I hate that. Does that happen to you? You get excited about an idea you want to flesh out and you start to bounce it off someone else and their very first response is: well, that's already been done.
Dude. Duuuuh. What hasn't already been done?
This is, of course, why one of my favorite movies lines ever is Christian Slater in Pump Up TheVolume telling us that "we're in the middle of a like, totally wasted decade…all the great themes have been used up–turned in to theme parks."
That's always my response.
I mean, how unhelpful is that? And I guess part of what ticks me off about it is that it seems to me that the person for whom this is a reasonable first response seems to think that they've read just about everything worth reading and now there's nothing new under the sun for them. When the truth of it is that they obviously haven't read nearly enough because otherwise they'd grasp how much of literature is all about building on old ideas, old stories, old themes.
So Shakespeare says to his friend: I've got this great I idea for a play where these kids from rival families meet, but their families are feuding, see, so even though they're obviously meant to be together, they can only meet in secret–
Hey, that sounds familiar, isn't that from that Italian poem–
Yeah, yeah, sure, but listen, would you? It's got a lot of potential as a play. So anyway, the kids can't be together and there's a bunch of stuff that goes on in the middle and they get married in secret. Then, at the end–and you can tell Bill's getting really excited about the project now–the heroine has to play dead so that her family can bury her and then she can sneak off to be with the hero. So she drinks this potion to make her look dead. Only the hero doesn't get the message about it and thinks she really is dead so he buys poison, goes to her tomb, and offs himself.
Oh, man, that sucks!
Yeah, right? And listen, so the the heroine wakes up and finds the hero dead. And the poison's all gone, so she takes his daggar and stabs herself.
Well yeah, man, that's dramatic and stuff, but aren't there a bunch of other stories like that? Like Tristan and Iseult and Pyramus and Thisbe… I think there's a bunch of other stories like that out there.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Guess I'll just dump Romeo and Juliet in the idea file for now. Maybe I'll be able to use a part of it for something else someday.
[For more information, visit your local library or read the wiki on Romeo and Juliet.]
All I'm sayin' is that just because the ideas like ill-fated lovers and hey! the other guy's not really dead yet! had already been used a few times doesn't mean the idea for Romeo and Juliet didn't have some merit. Just because someone's already done something doesn't mean you can't do it differently and have it be something great.
I mean, really, imagine if Colin Firth was all like: you want me to do what?? I'm not going to play Mr. Darcy after Laurence Olivier. You have to be out of your ever-lovin' mind!
What a tragedy that would have been, huh? So I repeat: Just because someone's already done something, doesn't mean you can't do it differently and have it be something great.
This is a topic I could go on about all day but I need to get some work done, so I'll try to hit you over the head with my point just one more time. Am I saying that markets don't get saturated with a million stories about the same thing and I get sick to death of reading them? No, that happens and I do. Am I saying that new ideas have no value? Please, don't be obtuse. Fresh, new, original ideas are [enter a string of superlatives] fantastic. And rare. What I'm saying is that it's ok if everything you come up with doesn't fall into that category. You tell it your way, and it can be something great.
And if you've got a friend who's reaction to your excited ideas seems to always be Yawn, been there, done that, find yourself another sounding-board.
