Any plans to openly market the Legends server more heavily to attract a larger player base? I'm guessing this might not have been done before due to the grey area all these servers sit in regarding property rights etc.
I would like to see sometime in the future as a Legends own content as a one-of-a-kind as profession own themeparks! Would and could this be viable in the future of Legends to have individual professions themepark (Jedi Themepark, Bounty Hunter Themepark, Smuggler Themepark, BM Themepark, Crafter Themepark, and so on)?
Have you guys thought about allowing for a second class to be chosen to allow more choice in character creation? Like you have one main class and in the second one you can only go half way up the tree
I guess my only question because some of them have been asked in the inclusion of more of the tcg loot at some point and also maybe a x2 on kill quotas for collections? thanks
I have two questions regarding ILM 2.0 being on the way, the first being are there any planned graphic changes to the new release? As an example, the Katarn armors should look off white, but with ILM active they become olive colored instead.
My second question is regarding the personal light your character has. With ILM active it is nearly useless at night, will there be any improvements to its function?

Would it be a big deal to make our familiar buffs stay up between space ports? It's just a pain to keep dropping familiars every time we travel.
When will the Blackhand Annihilator with 60m be re-implemented into the game? Related, also the 5m range increase for crafted melee weapons? Thank you!
When, if ever, will TK get an overhall? i.e. Experts run, more experts spawn, less requirements overall?

Definition:Divisor (Algebra)/Integer/Aliquot Part
< Definition:Divisor (Algebra) | Integer(Redirected from Definition:Aliquot Part)Jump to navigation Jump to search
An aliquot part of an integer $n$ is a divisor of $n$ which is strictly less than $n$.
Also known as
Euclid's term for an aliquot part is just part.
In the words of Euclid:
(The Elements: Book $\text{VII}$: Definition $3$)
Referring to aliquot part and aliquant part as part and parts respectively can be the source of considerable confusion when it is necessary to refer to the plural forms of either term.
Hence the use of part or parts for these concepts is heavily deprecated.
For historical reasons, and historical reasons only, the terms part and parts have been retained in the material quoted directly from Euclid's The Elements.

Custom theme settings panel
Selection of article formats
Library of shortcodes (via plugin)
Colour scheme variations

This means that if you do use these features on your site, and decide to change theme supplier later on, you're still able to keep those components on your website complete, providing the plugins are still active.
Utilizing the Topics from CSSIgniter
To try out the functionality of the topics from CSSIgniter, I took the recently published Uberto, which is described as a beautiful blogging theme for WordPress, to get a test drive.
Once you've signed up as a customer, either for access to one theme or all 60 topics, the themes you have access to can be downloaded from the member area of the website.
One nice feature I noticed right away was that you can download past versions of a motif. This could come in handy should you need to get the first source files for backup purposes, or to roll back any changes you have made to the theme files in use on your website.
You can also quickly access the documentation for every motif and download the sample material.
Once the theme has been triggered on your website you can either import the demo content, and in the case of Uberto includes pages and posts, in addition to the widget configuration, or move right to the theme settings control panel to prepare the theme.

CSSIgniter Theme Options Control Panel
The user interface of this motif settings is fairly near the native WordPress UI, which makes it simple to work with, while also helping it to integrate quite well into the remainder of the admin dashboard on your site.
During the control panel you have access to these configurations, although these could vary Based on the CSSIgniter theme you are using:
Upload logos and favicon
Colour choices: select a colour scheme or set custom colours
Display options: excerpts and included image handling|}
Archive options: number of posts to display
Set up social media integration
Google Analytics, Feedburner, and BuySellAds integration
Add custom CSS
There isn't a whole lot which you could do via the theme options control panel, in comparison to some feature-heavy themes out there, but if you appreciate simplicity and too little bloat, then these topics will be appealing to you.
The theme settings panel also includes quick links to the support and documentation pages on the website for the theme you are using.
Should you choose to publish the sample content, your site will be populated with a selection of posts, and other articles, each with image place holders that will help you to get a better feeling of how the theme works.
As previously mentioned, one of the common features shared with the CSSIgniter themes is the built-in color variations. These permit you to change the main colour scheme on your site by simply choosing an option from the dropdown menu.
The theme options for your CSSIgniter themes is user friendly and provide you a fair amount of control over how your website appears. This is done without going into too much depth, which could overwhelm new users of WordPress.
Support, Documentation and Services|}
Each theme includes its set of documentation that's saved online. The files walk you through the installation process for the theme and explain how to use it, with more information on some of the advanced theme-specific capabilities.
In the first case support is offered through the members only encourage forums. Just customers can get the forums, which makes it a place to find questions which have already been answered or place your own issues directly associated with the CSSIgniter topics.
The forums are broken up into sub forums, with a single sub forum for each individual motif. There's also a general section with frequently asked questions, reviews, and hints for new themes and features.
When surfing the forums it seemed that the topics were responded to fast with useful responses being posted by the support staff. However, to test the service I did post a few questions that arose when installing and utilizing their themes.
Both questions that I posted in the forums were responded to quickly by the support team. In one case I was given the essential code to make the changes I wanted, and in the other I was supplied with a URL to the relevant documentation on the website. I was delighted with all the timely and useful responses in both cases, especially considering this took place on the weekend, even out of office hours.

Whistle, stop! / East Bay residents seek relief from blasts from freight trains
Terry and Latondra Goode were overjoyed after buying their first single-family home one year ago in Richmond's new Country Club Vista development.
The 650-home community is a collection of large modern houses in subdued yellow, brown and gray colors with thick, freshly planted lawns overlooking San Pablo Bay.
But the young couple was soon surprised by the loud barrage of whistles coming from nearby train tracks.
"We always play music in the room while she's asleep so she doesn't hear it," Latondra Goode said while looking down at their slumbering 16-month-old daughter, Lauren.
"The first night we were there, we heard this excessive toot of the horn. No one told us," said Terry Goode, who paid more than $500,000 for the home. "If I had known, it might have affected my purchase." However, state law does not require detailed disclosures of noise levels to homebuyers, and Contra Costa County does not have a noise ordinance requiring such notification. For decades, freight and passenger trains have wound their way along hills and valleys stretching from the Carquinez Strait to the Port of Oakland. But an increase in East Bay train traffic heading to the port has communities such as Richmond and Martinez seeing red. Longer trains mean longer waits at train crossings and more earsplitting whistles for growing communities nearby. Residents say it's more than just a pain in the ear: Busy rail traffic leads to decreased property values and a decreased quality of life.
The dispute pits residents against the jobs and revenue generated by the railroads, whose presence dates back more than 100 years.
Many tracks in the county run along clear hillsides or past isolated factories. But in Pittsburg, Clyde, and parts of Martinez and Richmond, new housing is sprouting nearby.
Milelong trains laden with everything from toasters to tennis shoes slow to 5 to 10 mph as they pass about 20 railway crossings on nearly 6 miles of track between Oakland and Richmond. A train that length can take six to 12 minutes to pass a home.
Approximately 54 trains a day, including 30 passenger trains, run through Martinez, and City Councilman William Wainwright said people often complain about sounds from a nearby switching station.
Sixty to 70 trains a day run through the greater Richmond area on several train systems, including Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Amtrak. Plus, there are two main switching yards in Richmond -- the Burlington Northern Yard in Point Richmond and a smaller one in the Marina District.
The new line from the Oakland port's Joint Intermodal Terminal opened about two years ago. This resulted in more traffic and longer trains being routed through Richmond. From there, trains can travel to different locations throughout the country, said Lena Kent, a spokeswoman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, which operates trains in 28 states and two Canadian provinces.
About 70 people gathered recently in Richmond at a town hall organized by County Supervisor John Gioia to vent their frustrations at company representatives and elected officials.
"You got guys who love to lean on those horns," said Dennis Dalton, who lives in Richmond's Marina Bay neighborhood.
Rhonda Harris, a longtime resident of Richmond's Santa Fe neighborhood, said every day she plays a guessing game to try to avoid having to wait at crossings for up to 20 minutes at a time.
"The tracks are so bad that my car has to have a wheel alignment," said Harris.
But railroad officials say an increase in freight traffic through Richmond to the Port of Oakland has meant less highway congestion and less air pollution for the region. Each train takes 280 trucks off the highway, said Kent. "We're required (by state and federal law) to blow the whistle, public or private, day or night (at crossings)," Kent said. "We certainly don't do it to be a poor neighbor."
Some Richmond residents, such as Henry Oden, whose nephew, Marcus Oden, lost both his legs after being hit by a train in 1995, are interested in seeing safety improvements addressed as well as the noise problem. Ten-year- old Marcus had been playing with a group of friends at a construction site near a crossing in Richmond. He will graduate this year from Antioch High School.
"My concern is about safety -- whatever they do they need to make things safer," Henry Oden, 57, said.
From 2002 through 2004, five people were killed and seven others injured in automobiles at crossing accidents in Alameda County; in Contra Costa County, 10 people were killed and four injured at crossings. In that same time period, 11 people were killed and seven injured in trespassing accidents in rail yards in Contra Costa County. In Alameda County, 11 people were killed and eight injured during the same time period, according to data from the Public Utilities Commission and the Federal Railroad Administration.
Increased rail traffic in recent years has caused residents of cities and towns across the country to complain. The Railroad Administration says train whistles are a nuisance to 9.3 million people nationwide. Local ordinances in 2,000 communities in 24 states already ban the sound (Sacramento and Placentia, Orange County, have such zones), but the Federal Railroad Administration plans to create federal rules that allow cities to ban whistles as long as they add or improve safety devices at crossings.
The Association of American Railroads, which represents the nation's major freight railroads, is in favor of improving safety at crossings while also permitting quiet zones.
Under its proposal to allow for so-called quiet zones, the FRA will require cities to install devices such as longer gates and other barriers to prevent automobile drivers from zigzagging around the crossing gates and cutting in front of trains. The FRA also intends to regulate the volume of whistles and require trains to blow their horns 15 seconds before a crossing instead of a quarter- mile from it. This would cut the amount of time slower trains sound their whistles.
The proposals would take effect Dec. 18. Local communities seeking to create a quiet zone would need approval from the Federal Railway Administration and from the PUC for certain physical upgrades at individual crossings.
Union Pacific Railroad representative Wayne Horiuchi said his company has had an increasing number of complaints throughout its system, a problem he blames on developers and poor zoning.
"It's the community's responsibility to make sure that noise is mitigated, " Horiuchi said, adding that cities should consider long-existing tracks before allowing construction nearby. "(To) make sure that they don't build in a noise problem when they've (tracks) been there for centuries."
Horiuchi noted that Union Pacific lobbied for state legislation in 2000, which was sponsored by Assemblyman Tim Leslie (R-Tahoe City). A demonstration project was set up in those communities in which an automated horn system was used to cut down on whistle sound.
"This device reduces the amount of acreage noise by 90 percent," said Horiuchi. "You don't hear it 1,300 feet ahead of the crossing. People love it, and it's working."
The device, a pole-mounted horn that projects the sound down toward motorists, is being used in Roseville (Placer County) and Riverside and has resulted in fewer complaints.
Jason Shykowski, associate civil engineer for the City of Roseville, said the system has been a big hit with the community since it was put in place in August. He said 60 percent of residents living near railroad tracks approve of the system, based on three monthly surveys conducted by the city.
"We've done several surveys of residents surrounding the crossings," said Shykowski. "(And) the overall response is they like this mounted horn system better."
There are no plans for putting the system in place in Richmond, but it could be a potential solution, Horiuchi said, adding that a formal request would have to be made by the community. But Richmond City Councilman Tom Butt says the railroads have been unwilling to hold their employees accountable for blasting whistles day and night with no regard for the community.
"There's no one regulating them (employees)," Butt said.
Butt said he and other local officials have found it difficult to get a response to citizen complaints.
"The railroads are just totally arrogant; they don't do anything to accommodate anyone else," Butt said. "They act like their way is the only way. We believe that they can exercise some discretion to limit their horn blowing."
Richmond could create quiet zones, but it would cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, a major barrier given the city's current fiscal problems. Exact costs would vary at each crossing, depending on its condition. It's unlikely federal funds can be used to cover the cost of implementing quiet zones. It's also unlikely that the PUC, which regulates rail, would step in to force companies to muzzle their whistles because of safety regulations.
"I don't believe myself that there is a real good regulatory fix in this, " said George Elsmore, the PUC's lead supervisor for rail safety in California.
Still, residents such as Harris and the Goodes said they want to see the establishment of a quiet zone in Richmond.
"We need it," said Terry Goode. "I don't think the railroad's going to compromise in any way (without it)."
While many residents vow to fight the railroads by continuing to lodge complaints, some have taken a more philosophical view.
Point Richmond is a mix of old red brick storefront buildings and small houses that sit side by side with new homes and new businesses. On a recent afternoon at The Spot bar on Railroad Avenue, the sound of trains pulling into the nearby station competed with the gravelly voices of the half-dozen men joking and playing liars dice.
Most of the regulars there worked for the railroads and refineries that built this town.
"If it wasn't for the railroad, Point Richmond wouldn't be here," said bartender Mike Deatherage, who worked for the Santa Fe railroad for 24 years as a conductor and switchman. "This was all swamp. The railroad was here and the town grew up around it."

Let's talk for a bit about family members and those that are challenging or impossible for the sensitive empath to stay in contact with.
There is a lot being said these days about adult children consciously choosing to be estranged from their families. (Google it)
There are toxic families where just being around them we can feel physically sick. For no particular reason this heaviness lingers before and after a visit.
As far as we know there was no abuse. There are no addictions or mental illnesses. Finding a reason for our uncomfortableness is exhausting.
We tell ourselves that we don't like them or that they don't like us. The truth is we're not comfortable around these people and as adults we're not able to connect.
If we live to be 85 the first 18 years are theirs, so to speak. The next 67 years are ours and we are under no obligation to struggle in a family that rejects us passively or overtly.
Our relationship with our family is dependent on our willingness to do the work to get emotionally naked and truly see ourselves. Remember that working out our childhood issues is not dependent on family members understanding or accepting us. Sometimes it is beneficial to ask for assistance from our guides and ancestors to work through this.
As young children, the connection we have with our parents is one of necessity. However, these connections are not always nurturing. Addiction and mental illness play a huge part in childhood neglect. Addicts and those with mental illness may not ever recognize they're sick.
As an adult we might be clear about our feelings and what happened. Knowing our parents are sick, we may consciously choose to stay involved understanding the limitations the chronic illnesses will play in our adult relationship.
If we are to walk this path with an ill family member it's because we simply cannot let them go. We are in for the long haul knowing this is ours to do.
On the other hand, imagine what would happen if we were to stand up and say with all honesty what we felt and what we needed? I am guessing that in many families telling the truth and being our authentic selves could lead to rejection. If we suspect that we would be rejected then that is important information to have. We may share love and some wonderful memories but it might not be enough.
When we are part of a forever family we know it. In good times and in bad we will grow together. We can be our authentic selves even though we don't get along with everyone all the time. There is enough of a connection to weather life's storms.
If this is not your life path you will recognize you are in an impermanent family. The sooner you make peace with that the better. You have been given a difficult life path but you are not alone. Whatever life you choose to live, let it be forthright.
Until next time,
Suzi Caffreys

Microbial influence on sorption of heavy metals to Fe-, Mn-, Al-(oxy)hydroxides
Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most severe environmental problems since the beginning of the industrial revolution. In particular, the former Uranium Mining (UM) area near Ronneburg, Germany resulted in widespread environmental contamination with high concentrations of heavy metals and radionuclides. Previous research in the UM Ronneburg area shows that natural attenuation of heavy metals is occurring in Fe-/Mn-oxide rich soil horizons, which share characteristics with a geochemical barrier at pH 5.5 and 7. Microorganisms are known to play a pivotal role in the mobilization and immobilization of heavy metals in the ecosystem. However, the mechanism of heavy metals retention/dissolution in geochemical barrier via microbes and pH is relatively unclear, but it has been demonstrated that both living and non-living biomass may be utilized in biosorptive processes, as they often exhibit a marked tolerance towards metals and other adverse conditions. In addition, certain metal oxidizing and reducing microbes are significant in the structure and formation of secondary minerals. Since, microbial formation of Fe/Mn-oxides is much faster than oxides forming via abiotic processes thus; this study focuses on the impact of microbes on the heavy metal retention in the secondary mineral enriched layers within the epigenetic zones of geochemical barriers. State of art analytical and molecular techniques will be applied to elucidate the above objectives. Ultimately, this will lead us to unravel the mechanism of heavy metal retention/dissolution and formation of secondary precipitation in geochemical barrier, which is a challenge in the realm of environmental pollution, bio-sorption and bio-remediation.

The NFL probably isn't going to like this. But it's a topic that must be discussed, and what better forum than a crowded movie theater on Christmas morning. Sure there will be plenty of fun movies opening on December 25. But with the NFL season really heating up, a lot of fans are going to want to go behind the scenes of one of the more controversial issues. Concussion stars Will Smith and is based on a true story as it delves into NFL brain trauma. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for this important topic.
Will Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) and fought for the truth to be known. Concussion is based on the David vs. Goliath journey of Dr. Omalu, who treats the football-related brain trauma of a pro player while fighting to bring awareness to the public. In his search for the truth behind the devastating malady, Omalu's quest humanizes the price paid by professional athletes in impact sports but also by people who challenge the status quo as it exposes the political, cultural and corporate interests that fuel the business of sports.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic subconcussive hits to the head. CTE has been known to affect boxers since the 1920s. However, recent reports have been published of neuropathologically confirmed CTE in retired professional football players and other athletes who have a history of repetitive brain trauma. This trauma triggers progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau. These changes in the brain can begin months, years, or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement. The brain degeneration is associated with memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia.
Will Smith is joined in Concussion by a stellar ensemble cast. Joining him are stars Alec Baldwin, Luke Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Arliss Howard, Paul Reiser, David Morse and Albert Brooks. Peter Landesman, probably best known for Kill the Messenger and Parkland, writes and directs the movie, which is partially based on the GQ article "Game Brain," written by Jeanne Marie Laskas. Ridley Scott produces alongside Giannina Facio, David Wolthoff, Larry Shuman and Elizabeth Cantillon. David Crockett and Michael Schaefer are executive producers. Peter Landesman has a production team that includes director of photography Salvatore Totino, production designer David Crank, Academy Award-winning editor William Goldenberg, and costume designer Dayna Pink.
Dr. Bennet Omalu conducted the autopsy for several deceased Steelers players, including Hall of Fame center Mike Webster. This helped him discover the existence of specific brain trauma caused on the field. The movie sets out to show how the doctor has played an important role in convincing the NFL that football is hazardous to the head. Though, as we'll learn, the football establishment has little interest in promoting the works of Dr. Bennet Omalu. MMQB debuted the trailer, and talked with Peter Landesman about its implications. The filmmaker insisted that he is not trying to drive people away from the sport.
"I was very focused on this story. I don't feel responsible or connected to the consequences. Storytellers can't be. Otherwise you get hamstrung by your own conscience. You just have to tell the truth with the most integrity that you can. I have no position on whether or not people should play football or whether they should have their kids play football. To me, this is a story about making adult choices. Once you have the information-and the information has been obscured for a long time, it's been buried and covered up by people who don't want to damage the sport-the information is now out there, and I hope this movie brings together the information in a way that the general public can metabolize and now make their own decisions. So now that you know that concussions can kill you and playing the sport can kill you, it's on every parent and it's on every college player, it's on every high school player and professional player on whether you are going to let your child play. It's the same with smoking, drinking and doing drugs. I like to think in some ways that life is an occupational hazard. Something we do in our life is going to kill us; maybe now, maybe 50 years from now. You have to choose what those things are. We love to drink and be merry and be happy, we know it's not good for us, but we do it. It's about making adult choices."
The story of Concussion is something that definitely should be discussed, and you can expect to hear more about it as we move closer to opening day. Concussion is entering an extremely crowded Christmas marketplace, which comes just one week after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It will have to contended with the family sequel Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Road Chip, Quentin Tarantino's new Westren The Hateful Eight, Jennifer Lawrence's Miracle Mop biopic Joy, Leonardo DiCaprio's period survival thriller The Revenant, Daddy's Home, a comedy that reunites Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell, Oliver Stone's Snowden biopic and the Point Break remake. Will Concussion be heard above all that noise? We'll have to wait and see, but from the trailer, it appears to be an early Oscar contender.

Anbang's Wu pulls out of first speech since Marriot deal
Anbang Insurance Group's Wu Xiaohui cancelled a speaking engagement at the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' (NAREIT) annual conference being held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York this week.
Wu, who was scheduled to speak during lunch on Tuesday, sent his regrets on June 3, saying he was called away with other business, Ron Kuykendall, a spokesman for NAREIT. A representative for Anbang in New York said he couldn't immediately comment.
The Beijing-based company, one of China's most prominent overseas buyers of real estate, has kept a low public profile since abruptly pulling a $14bn takeover offer for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide in March. More recently, the insurer withdrew its application to the New York Department of Financial Services to acquire Fidelity & Guaranty Life, which it agreed to buy for $1.6bn in November. It plans to refile "in the near future," according to a regulatory filing dated May 31.
Anbang has come under scrutiny by regulators in China, which planned to boost oversight, people familiar with the matter said in May. A press official for the company said at the time that it hasn't been notified of any inspection.
Anbang, which owns the Waldorf Astoria, is in contract to buy Strategic Hotels & Resorts from Blackstone in a deal valued at about $6.5bn. Jon Gray, Blackstone's global head of real estate, said on Monday that he expects the deal to be completed. Strategic owns luxury resorts across the US including the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay in California and Manhattan's Essex House. (Bloomberg)

What makes someone a genius? According to Nobel Laureate Eric R. Kandel, M.D., it is a person who is a "game-changer" and who "through their work, permanently changed the way we perceive the world." It is less about IQ and more about "drive, persistence, and creativity." At the 92nd Street Y's third annual 7 Days of Genius in Manhattan, four eminent scientists, arguably geniuses themselves, discussed historical geniuses of the mind, brain, and molecules. The three speakers included two members of the Dana Alliance, Larry W. Swanson, Ph.D., and Thomas M. Jessell, Ph.D., as well as Robert Michels, M.D. Kandel, also a Dana Alliance member, moderated the event.

Campaigning for brain awareness in Sri Lanka
With the help of European Dana Alliance member Ann Kato and her husband,
researcher Gabor Kato, Sri Lanka was a late addition to the roster of new
countries hosting Brain Awareness Week activities in 2009. The Katos, along
with Ranil De Silva of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Nugegoda,
organized a four-hour program in basic neuroscience at the Sri Lanka Medical
Association in Colombo on Nov. 8 and a six-hour program on Nov. 10 at the Sri
Sumangala Girls' College in Weligama. The events were such a success that De
Silva and the Katos are planning a second BAW event in Sri Lanka this year. (Brain Awareness Week 2010 is March
Gabor Kato at the Sri
Sumangala Girls' College in Weligama
The Sri Lanka
Medical Association event included lectures on how the brain works, what
happens during brain disease and how to maintain health with food and exercise.
Students, teachers, parents, doctors and the general public listened with great
interest and asked many questions, especially about maintaining and improving
memory, Ann Kato said. Many people also wanted to discuss their sleep problems,
and it appeared that everyone had a family member or a friend with a brain
disorder such as multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's,
she added.
At the girls'
college, more than 400 high-school students, teachers, health-care workers and
members of the public spent nearly five hours learning about both the healthy
and diseased brains. De Silva translated the English lectures into Sinhalese,
as this audience did not have the same command of English as did the Colombo
group. In addition to lectures, the program included lighting of a traditional
oil lamp and two dance sessions by students, according to Ann Kato.

Sumangala Girls' College
There was room for
improvement. While the girls enjoyed the presentations, they asked for more
"cartoon-like" clips of how the brain functions. Two boys in the audience
wanted reassurance that the brain stays alive following death; perhaps they thought
the brain was immortal due to belief in reincarnation, Ann Kato said.
The Katos have
been supporting education efforts in Sri Lanka ever since they toured the
country after the devastation of the 2004 tsunami. They have repeatedly visited
the public girls' college,
which serves 2,700 children from grades 3 to 12, to offer teaching assistance
and supplies. The school was severely damaged during the tsunami; thirteen students
died and more than half the children lost close members of their families.
While non-governmental
organizations helped rebuild most of the school's buildings, it still lacks basic
items such as textbooks, pencils and notepads, as well as computers for the
technology lab. The Katos have collected and sent such supplies and offer university
scholarships for top students. At first, they paid out of pocket to fill urgent
needs; since then, they have received donations from friends and other
nonprofit groups and continue to look for sponsors for scholarships and other

Can Tetris shape the brain?
While reading "How
to Forget Fear," a Times Online article
by Alice Fishburn and science writer Ed Yong, a study on using Tetris to control fear responses caught
my eye.
University of Oxford researcher Emily Holmes asked
people to play the block-arranging game while watching a grisly film full of
surgery and accidents. "She found that while these volunteers remembered just
as many details of the film as those who did not play Tetris, a week later they had fewer flashbacks and were less
affected emotionally by what they had seen," the article says.
This led Holmes to hypothesize that playing the game "hogs
the brain's processing power," preventing the grisly images in the film from
becoming powerful memories. Yong and Fishburn write, "Tetris acts as a mental vaccine that protects against the creation
of strong fear memories and removes their emotional burden."
Several studies
have found
that multitasking can lead to an inefficient use of brain power, but in this
case it had a positive effect and might have potential clinical applications
for people dealing with traumatic memories and phobias. This echoes the
conclusions of a recent
Cerebrum article summarizing work
in the area, which argues that video games can have both beneficial and harmful
effects but that more research is needed to fully understand these changes.
Although we have been
the potential influences of various video games on the brain for years, in a
bit of a coincidence, Tetris itself
is featured in our most recent news article, "Your Brain On . . .
Along with more recent work, the article mentions a 1992
study in which Richard Haier of the University of California, Irvine "measured
the rate of glucose use in the cerebrum before the volunteers practiced [Tetris] and after four to eight weeks of
practice." As scores rose, glucose use declined, indicating that the brain
became more efficient at playing the game over time.
A search for "Tetris and brain" in PubMed returned five
additional studies, two from 2009, on topics ranging from amnesia
to cortical
thickness. The brain-research uses of the game may only be beginning.

Magnetic brain scans become more attractive
The first image many of us conjure up when someone mentions
brain scanners—whether for medical diagnosis or basic research—is the sterile
white isolation and intimidating din of a magnetic resonance imaging device.
But for many diseases, the key to better diagnosis may not be looking into
brains, as with MRIs, but looking near
A new study appearing
in the Journal of Neural Engineering suggests
that magnetoencephalography (MEG) can identify the vast majority of people
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In MEG, a helmet surrounding the head measures the tiny magnetic
fields generated by the brain's electrical activity. This offers distinct
advantages and disadvantages over other scanning methods. For instance, MEG is
noninvasive, unlike positron emission tomography (PET), which requires patients
to ingest a mildly radioactive solution. MEG is also very fast—it works in
about 10 milliseconds—because it measures neural activity directly; MRIs
measure blood flow in the brain instead and take 20 times longer. On the other
hand, readings from MEG offer less spatial resolution than many other scanning
methods and provide less precise information about regions deep inside the
In the new research, Apostolos
Georgopoulos, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Minnesota
and a member of the Dana Alliance for
Brain Initiatives, and his colleagues found that MEG correctly identified at
least 67 of 74 veterans suffering from PTSD, from a group that also included
250 people with no reported neurological or mental health issues. The veterans were
a varied group, with participants both from the current Iraq and Afghanistan
campaigns as well as from World War II and Vietnam.
The researchers also reported that the strength of their
readings corresponded with the severity of symptoms in a PTSD sufferer. In other
words, a MEG test might not just identify who has PTSD but also how damaging
the disorder is and even what treatments might work best.
MEG has shown potential to diagnose other brain symptoms. In
2007, for instance, Georgopoulos and his team reported that MEG could
help detect multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia,
Sjögren's syndrome, chronic alcoholism and facial pain. And earlier this month,
we reported on a small
study that used MEG to identify children with autism.
As we mentioned in that post, small tests such as the PTSD
study aren't useful in the clinic until they have been confirmed in more
expansive tests with more diverse sets of people. Still, many neurological
disorders, including a large percentage of PTSD cases, are difficult and
time-consuming to diagnose. Objective detection methods such as brain scans could
dramatically shorten that process, as well as reduce uncertainty about the
accuracy of a diagnosis or the severity of a particular case.
For soldiers, who are at high risk for PTSD, this is
crucial; their final diagnosis can drastically alter what jobs they are
expected to do, where they are sent during their next deployment and what kind
of benefits they can receive. In the most extreme cases, a doctor's finding might
mean the difference between re-entering a dangerous war zone and safely recovering
from trauma on U.S. soil. For those kinds of cases, a fast, efficient way to
assess PTSD can't come fast enough.

For NFL's top QBs, brains over brawn
Why is Drew Brees a stud and Joey Harrington a dud? Why is
Peyton Manning a four-time MVP and JaMarcus Russell a benchwarmer? All of these
NFL quarterbacks have the physical tools—arm strength, accuracy, footwork—necessary
to play professional football, you'd imagine, or else they would have never
even made it to the big leagues. But their performance on the field is a
different story.
The difference between elite quarterbacks and highly-touted but
dismally performing prospects, it turns out, may not be in their muscles, but
rather in the organs between their ears.
According to an
article in The Times-Picayune, there is a growing interest in studying the
brains and cognitive abilities of NFL quarterbacks. Why not? Quarterbacking is
the most mentally challenging position in football, and teams would love to
know if it is possible to determine which players simply don't have the thinking
skills required to succeed at a high level—before
the draft and salary negotiation.
But wait, this is just football, you might say; it's not
like it's rocket science. Well, on that last point, you may be right—football
may be harder, in some ways, mentally
The article points out all of the things that a quarterback
has to process. He must learn all 130 or so of his team's offensive plays—and not
just his role, but those of his 10 teammates (and if these guys are anything
like my high school teammates, they'll often forget where they're supposed to
go). He has to spend about 25 hours a week studying film to prep for the next
opponent. And he needs to incorporate and adapt all of this information upon
taking the field and gauging the defensive alignment—with only about 30 seconds
of huddle time to decide.
Once the ball is snapped, things get even more hectic.
Whether a receiver gets bumped, a defensive back shades to a particular side of
the field, or a defensive lineman breaks through into the backfield, a QB is
left with approximately 3.5 seconds to make a final choice on where and when to
release the ball.
According to the article, football experts and neuroscientists
have been discussing the possibility that guys like Brees (of the New Orleans
Saints) and Manning (of the Indianapolis Colts), who were first and second,
respectively, in the league in touchdown passes this season, excel because of
exceptional performance in specific regions of their brains.
Some neuroscientists believe that top-notch QBs are
particularly adept at "unconscious" thought. Their minds intuitively process things
in a split second, without them ever really "thinking" about it, enabling these
players to make correct assessments even during a fast-paced game.
If you are a fast typist, you also understand unconscious
thought, also known as implicit memory: Study the keys long enough, practice
hard, and at some point you can type without looking or actively thinking about
what you are doing. But it is far more vital on the football field. Even if you
or I studied film obsessively and had a knack for throwing spirals, we probably
wouldn't be able to process the moving defense in a matter of seconds like
these top QBs. The same appears to be true for non-performers like Russell, the
Oakland Raiders former top draft pick, and Harrington, who the Detroit Lions
took with the third pick in 2002.
No doubt the NFL and neuroscientists will continue to team
up in hopes of discovering what to look for in quarterbacks' brains. It's
already been suggested that the orbital frontal cortex handles implicit memory,
so further analysis on that region of the brain could provide answers.
For now, fans of the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets,
the respective opponents of the Saints and Colts this Sunday, will have to hope
that Brees and Manning are taken down before they even have 3.5 seconds to make
a decision. If they are given enough time, however, Super Bowl XLIV may be known
as the Braniac Bowl.

I should probably start this with a trigger warning. I'm going to talk about rape. And FGM.
On Feministe.com the other day, Intactivists were accused of ruining the debate on circumcision. This left me feeling really sad because I love Feministe.com and my son is not circumcised.
Though a long time ago I made a promise to myself that I would never enter into a discussion about circumcision with anyone other than my partner (or my child, if he later wants to get circumcised and seeks my advice or asks me why we did what we did), I'm breaking that now. Lucky us.
I didn't know there was a debate about FGM. I thought everyone, except for practitioners, all pretty much agreed that it was wrong. Perhaps the only thing left to debate is how to end the practice. I believe that it should be ended through education and making the procedure safe to minimize death, disease, infection, and long term complications (yes, there are ways). Others believe it should be outlawed. But I worry that making it illegal will make it even less safe and won't help people change their cultural practices. It may instead encourage the practice and make women less likely to seek help with complication and infections. And when I mentioned this to someone once, she said that it was like I was saying that rape should be legal because making it illegal won't change cultural practices. No. I'm not saying that.
In communities that practice FGM, they believe they are doing it in the woman's best interest. Though individual rapists may have their own fucked up excuses for rape that Robin Thicke can sing about and there is a huge amount of rape culture, as a society, at least in the US, where I live, I think we can at least agree that rape is not a good tradition nor does anyone think it's in the victim's best interest (caveat here being, of course, fucked up rapists and the sick things they say). Rape is not a religious requirement. Women who are raped generally don't want their daughters to be raped. It's not thought that women who are raped will make better wives. But these are "reasons" why communities practice FGM and they cannot be addressed by making it illegal. Without getting people to want to change, I don't think we can get people to change.
The arguments I heard in favor of circumcising my son were pretty ridiculous. I heard that my son should look like his dad and that he would get picked on in the locker room at school. Those were not persuasive to me. His dad also agreed that we should not circumcise (he was more adamant about it than I was), and kids will always find something to tease others about without looking at each other naked. I didn't think a medical procedure was the best prevention for hypothetical bullying. (I'm now happier than ever that I disregarded this ridiculous argument. My family is moving to a country where circumcision is less popular, so no, I'm not worried about kids teasing him after looking at his junk. I'm more worried about kids looking at his junk period.)
Yes, I've heard and read that circumcision can help prevent the spread of HIV. Condoms are more effective. They also prevent other STDs and pregnancy. I'm not buying the intactivist argument that circumcision will lead him into a false sense of security about his risk of HIV, which sounds like it came straight from the "HPV vaccine will make girls have sex" school of thought. No matter what my decision about my children's genitals, I want to raise him to use sex responsibly, and that includes knowing his partner, knowing if his partner is on birth control (if applicable), and knowing about how to best prevent disease.
Again, I live in a developed nation. If I lived someplace else where condoms were not as available, I would have reconsidered my position. My position was a personal one, not one based in community health. FGM, by contract, is a community health issue. Women are dying because of unsafe conditions. The women that survive are at risk for infection and complications. And, of course, impaired sexual function.
But for circumcision, as a community health issue, it does leave me a little icky saying that we should be circumcising men because it will prevent the spread of HIV. I see this point only if the conservatives get their way and all birth control is banned. There are dozens of other reasons why condoms should also be used, so I feel like advocating circumcision in the US just for that is a little bit over kill, especially when it's not all that effective at prevention when compared to condoms.
So I resent the accusation that I ruin debate. I've had a non-interference policy for years on this matter. And really, in my mind, there is nothing about FGM to debate. We can only brainstorm solutions, and it's offensive to say that because I didn't circumcise my son I'll ruin a discussion on how to end FGM. Actually, I might be a good person to talk to. My husband and I (did I mention we're Jewish?) were the ones who bucked thousands of years of tradition in favor of individual decision making. My husband and I were the ones who (through just letting her know of our own decision) convinced my pediatrician sister not to circumcise her kid. I might have some ideas if you don't shut me out of the conversation.

Medieval 2: Total War Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
I love that you stress that nobody upload it to any other sites. It shows that you know exactly what you are doing, and therefore you will be ticking off half of your community. That's no way to do business.
So I request, please make this feature and others available to users who don't want to pay. Thank you.
1. They've got to buy the game on the release date. Sometimes this might involve buying multiple copies from different sources (ie: Steam, D2D).
2. They've got to play the game through so they can determine what options to include in the trainer.
3. The game must be debugged so that the options can be traced. Doing this around major copy protection can be very difficult and time consuming.
4. The options must be play-tested to make sure they work properly and for the player only (not the enemy or AI). This must often be done on multiple systems with multiple operating systems (Vista, XP, DX9, DX10, etc).
5. The trainer must be packaged and published.
6. The programmer must be paid for his services.
We ask for a small membership fee to help cover the time and expenses involved in these processes, and only for a short time until the trainer is released to the public. Please show us this courtesy. If you like the trainers and would like to see more made in the future, help support the site and become a member. Otherwise, please wait patiently for the trainer(s) to become available on the public release date.
I appreciate your comments, however, this website is no longer a hobby for us, it's a business. We spend long hours every day creating, testing, updating and supporting the cheats that we create along with many that we don't. Do you have a job? At the end of the work day do you tell your boss nevermind about paying you, that you'd like to work for free from here forward?
We could be the anonymous warez group that releases a trainer whenever we feel like and hide behind bogus email addresses and non-existant websites and not care if the cheat actually works or not. Is this the type of service you prefer? We provide the highest quality trainers, we stand behind them, update them typically long after most others wouldn't have bothered and then support them on our forums and make fixes when necessary. These things require time and money. We try our very best to leverage our free content with the paid content and more times than not we release all of our cheats to the public after a small waiting period. 99.9% of the cheats on our website are free to the public. The occasional trainer, typcially for older titles, we may make a member exclusive to help offset all of the trainers that are released for free. At the end of the day if we can't make enough to pay our staff and most importantly, our programmer, then there will be no trainers to be had anyway. Many games would not have even received a trainer had it not been for our willingness to pay a programmer to create one.
So, support us or not is most certainly your decision, but don't criticize us for trying to create a successful website and provide a service that has long been missing in this niche.
anybody else having this issue? I will try and run it without X-Fire loaded and see what happens.

Good tortilla, bad tortilla
February 14, 2007 at 7:38 pm Leave a comment
This weekend Mr. Lancetqueen and I took a lovely trip to Brooklyn to visit our friends and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and babies. After over a week of checking my blood sugar five to six times a day, my fingers needed a break! I didn't intend to take a complete break from checking, but I have to admit that although I ate quite well, I can't really be sure because I didn't check a single time the entire trip. I now regret squandering the opportunity to see what affect the pedestrian New York lifestyle has on my blood sugars – we walked so much my legs are still sore.
My first post-vacation check was yesterday after the Mr. and I's weekly lunch at Taqueria Del Sol. My willpower was weak and I couldn't resist the tortilla chips, so despite my otherwise healthy selections (one Laredo taco and turnip greens) my BG was a whopping 149 an hour after lunch. I wish there was some way to "get away" with my one real weekly food splurge, but my little experiment of taking the Starlix 5 minutes before I ate didn't work. Maybe I could try 15 or 20? Who am I kidding, I should just not eat the chips. 🙂 I'm sure the white tortilla isn't helping either.
Dinner last night was a success with BG in the 80s an hour after, but lunch today must have gone too far into low-carb zone because an hour after eating a La Tortilla Factory whole wheat tortilla with turkey, cucumber, spinach and tomato, my BG was 66, confirmed with a follow up of 67! Eek. Next time I'll either turn it into two wraps with two tortillas or try it without the Starlix (the latter probably a risky idea). The La Tortilla Factory whole wheat low-carb tortillas are so tasty and such a godsend after thinking I was banished from fajitas forever. I can eat at least two without my blood sugar going over 130.
Tonight I hope to begin my endeavor to inject a little high-intensity cardio and muscle into my life, but more on that later.

So, what does the term "home theater" really mean? This is not a trivial question. One of the challenges we find is the ambiguous nature of the term 'Home Theater'. When a client says they want a home theater it is very important to understand what exactly their expectation is for a home theater. It is our job as the professional theater designer to help our clients understand the possibilities that a private theater experience can provide.
Defining 'Home Theater'
Balancing Form and Function
A private theater is experiential in nature, and there are fundamental elements and attributes required to deliver that experience. Just like a high-performance sports car, it is not enough to look fast; it must have the engineering, build quality, and design to deliver.
Many home theater designers are striving for the wrong goals or have positioned these objectives out of order. One example of this is a home theater designed primarily as a reflection of a theme or style without consideration of the design's impact on performance. Even when attempts are made to properly design a home theater, if specific knowledge, experience, and skill are not applied, the results will be less than ideal.

US Primarily based Camera Crews
A residential security system is becoming more and more essential because of the growing crime and theft round us. They are able to provide us with video footage, whether dwell or recorded, within our property. So firms like Konika, Canon and Nikon sooner manufactured their own versions of cameras just to stay competing to Fuji which latter launched the advanced options like waterproof camera, inclusion of a flash and a panoramic photographic feature and likewise introduced manual zoom feature which is feasible by shifting two lenses in front of the shutter.
Merely put, the features have evolved quite a bit in the 5 renditions of this camera that Sony has launched since 2012, however the image high quality is surprisingly related. The big difference is that you just get a lot greater decision, which is great, especially when cropping images, and you can shoot 4k video at 30p, which is not great at excessive speed or in low gentle.
The 'level and shoot' computerized focus camera is launched by Konica whereas Sony starts speaking in regards to the camcorder and demonstrates a prototype. The Canon 7D Mark II is just a little too outdated to incorporate 4K video recording, which is a slight disappointment in an in any other case strong DSLR.
Both cameras are equally priced and offer a ton of versatility with massive zoom ranges. Backside Line: The Olympus Robust TG-5 is a go-wherever camera with a quick lens, speedy response, and 4K video, nevertheless it's more expensive than previous iterations. Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS has a lens that covers an extreme zoom range, and despite the fact that it's on the expensive facet, it earns our Editors' Choice award.
Early cameras of the 16th and seventeenth century were capable of undertaking photographs onto paper or glass however the study of capturing, processing and printing the images took many extra years. Such digital photographs could also be uploaded to an image server (e.g., a photograph-sharing website), viewed on a television , or transferred to a pc or digital picture frame Each kind can then be produced as a tough copy on regular paper or photographic paper by way of a printer.
Obviously, the camera will not work without lenses, so this looks as if an odd solution to sell the DSLR. There are tons of of models of cameras out there today both for the newbie as well as the skilled and the camera is an important a part of any family's repertoire of will need to have gadgets.
Highlights For Olympus Powerful Tg
These advanced shooters characteristic bigger picture sensors, superior optics, strong manual controls, quicker efficiency, and the versatility of changeable lenses.
Atlantic Television offers top quality, local broadcast camera crews, tools, and other manufacturing providers in each major city within the USA and Canada. Backside Line: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 is a compact mirrorless camera with fast autofocus, robust picture quality, and 4K video seize. In our rankings we additionally factor in the price of this camera, which is in the same ballpark as the mirrorless Sony a6300 with a equipment lens (in virtually all instances we would favor the latter).
Later fashions such because the Brownie 127 had larger direct view optical viewfinders along with a curved movie path to reduce the affect of deficiencies in the lens. Image quality with these small film sizes was restricted. Further, some customers have reported that the B500 has bother connecting to Wi-Fi, and like most price range superzooms, autofocus tends to hunt.
AdFind Deals on Fujifilm X100f Reminiscence Card in Cameras on Amazon. As camera a lens technology developed and broad aperture lenses grew to become more widespread, rangefinder cameras have been launched to make focusing extra precise. High-tier fashions track topics and fire off photographs as shortly as comparable SLRs.
In contrast, greater-tech DSLRs and most mirrorless cameras tear by a battery in several hundred photographs. What we do not:Â Low gentle performance and autofocus could be improved. Nonetheless these categories overlap as still cameras are often used to capture shifting pictures in special results work and plenty of fashionable cameras can rapidly swap between nonetheless and movement recording modes.
How To Set up Security Cameras
Be it your private home, business, or family; you always want complete security for each one in every of them! The course of the slant relies on the path the shutter curtains run in (noting also that as in all cameras the picture is inverted and reversed by the lens, i.e. "high-left" is at the bottom proper of the sensor as seen by a photographer behind the camera).
A wide range of movie and plate formats have been used by cameras. Although a variety of various shutter devices have been used during the improvement of the camera solely two types have been widely used and remain in use at this time. Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot Elph one hundred ninety IS doesn't supply as a lot as costlier cameras, however it's your best option for those who're on the lookout for an inexpensive level-and-shoot.
The Use Of Safety Cameras In Banks
Today an increasing number of people have the necessity to learn to install security cameras and security camera systems of their dwelling or business. AdFind Deals on Canon Powershot Elph 190 Is in Cameras on Amazon. Bottom Line: The Fujifilm X-E3 delivers glorious image quality in a slim physique, making it an ideal possibility for photographers who prefer to pack gentle-so long as you pair it with the best lens.
Sony has an intriguing different out there in the mirrorless space, the a9 Lighter and less expensive than competing SLRs, it locks and fires at an incredible 20fps and information video in 4K. As a result of optical properties of photographic lenses , solely objects inside a limited range of distances from the camera can be reproduced clearly.
As we speak increasingly more individuals have the necessity to learn to set up security cameras and security camera methods in their house or enterprise. Micro Four Thirds is essentially the most established mirrorless system and has the biggest range of lenses obtainable. This can be a barely smaller image sensor by way of physical dimension than you'll discover with another DSLRs (akin to full-body picture sensors).

The Dirty Nil
Higher Power
Higher Power
You can always count on the Dirty Nil for an espresso-force jolt to your system, and the rockers' debut album and first for Dine Alone does just that.
After years of releasing 7-inches, 10-inches and cassettes, the young trio from Dundas, Ontario, finally give us a full-length's worth of tracks that bring together several previously released songs (No Weaknesses, Zombie Eyed, Wrestle Yü To Hüsker Dü) plus new tunes. What jumps out when hearing so many songs all together is not only the massive energy the band unwaveringly puts forth but also the sameyness of the songs.
Often sounding like Weezer fronted by a male Courtney Love, they deliver hook after unhinged hook, full-throttle shout-singing and a tank-load of distortion. Occasionally they go heavier, like on thunderously excellent Lowlives and Fugue State, channelling Fugazi or METZ. Helium Dreamer has a fun hammer-on-driven-guitar riff, Friends In The Sky a standout guitar solo, and Violent Hands is eminently singable.
Turns out the relentless ferocity, while a riot live, ends up making the Dirty Nil more enjoyable in small doses on record.
Top track: Lowlives
The Dirty Nil play the Horseshoe Saturday (February 27).
