Essay by Benjamin Schrom
It is not surprising that D. W. Griffith set some of the great scenes in The Birth of a Nation during the Civil War, given his next project. Interested in conflicts that tear at the fabric of society, Griffith fought a battle within himself that pitted his vision, his talents and his nagging doubts against each other to produce one of the great movie phenomena of all time: Intolerance. He released it in 1916 and struggled with its financial burden and its disappointing popular reception for the remainder of his career. Intolerance was not, however, the ruinous career-ending venture it is reputed to be – indeed, it was following Intolerance that Griffith made Broken Blossoms (1919) and Way Down East (1920), two of his most successful and popular films. Certainly Griffith never lived to see his colossal movie ensconced as an artistic landmark, considered by many as among the most influential films ever made. There is, however, little doubt that he had fun making it. Interweaving four historical epochs over three hours in a non-linear feast of cross-cutting (there are more than 50 transitional edits between the four plot lines), Intolerance was a radically new film that, despite ultimately leaving some viewers confused by Lilian Gish and her rocking cradle, opened the world's eyes to the power of an emerging and increasingly complex cinematic grammar and technique.
While Intolerance was meant to be an epic blockbuster, it had comparatively humble origins. As was his tendency, Griffith began work on an entirely new film while still wrapping up The Birth of a Nation. This new film, The Mother and the Law, was far from a historical epic, concerning as it does the contemporary plight of a young couple torn apart by injustice amidst a tense and desperate labor strike. Unlike The Birth of a Nation, it did not cry out for elaborate costumes, battles scenes or historical figures. Yet, by the time it was concluded, The Mother and the Law had metamorphosed into Intolerance; a hail of images that sweep from the fall of Babylon to the massacre on St. Bartholomew's Day, from Christ's crucifixion to a modern-day public execution. As the enigmatic Griffith left little in the way of a definitive statement to explain why his modest six-reeler The Mother and the Law became the reeling fourteen-reeler Intolerance, many critics have had to look to the particular characteristics of the man behind it, in order to gain insight.
David Llewelyn Wark Griffith was born on January 22, 1875 near La Grange, Kentucky to Mary Oglesby and "Roaring Jake" Griffith, a local hero who had achieved fame as a Confederate Colonel and later as a delegate to the Kentucky Legislature. His father's death in 1885 deprived Griffith and his family of their money and privilege, forcing them to move to Louisville. It was here that David Wark discovered the theater, and he began to alternate odd jobs with attempts at playwriting and acting. Finding success elusive in the traditional theater, Griffith gravitated to the burgeoning movie business in New York City, where he was given abundant opportunities to act, write and eventually direct. Between 1908 and 1913, Griffith was the driving force behind the Biograph Company, where he made in excess of 450 films, many of which refined fundamental camera and editing techniques. It was also at Biograph that Griffith met many of the people with whom he would collaborate for his entire career as a director, most notably cameraman Billy Bitzer. In 1914, frustrated with Biograph's tepid response to his feature-length period narrative Judith of Bethulia, Griffith left to form his own production company, and he immediately began work on The Clansmen, or The Birth of a Nation.
If the multiple million-dollar success of The Birth of a Nation gave Griffith the reputation and financial resources to do whatever he pleased in its wake, the enormity of the response and the ardency of the backlash to its controversial theme complicated his subsequent projects. Remarking on the film in 1915, Francis Hackett of the The New Republic called it "spiritual assassination," and the April 6th New York Globe referred to Griffith as "willing to pander to depraved tastes and to foment a race antipathy that is the most sinister and dangerous feature of American life." Griffith himself vehemently defended it as a tribute to American history and a homage to the bygone Southern culture that had haunted him ever since his family's fall from privilege. Confronted with the film's overt racism, few viewers today can disagree with either Mr. Hackett or the New York Globe. However, the Evening Mail observed that the film's New York premiere "swept sophisticated audiences like prairie fire," and theaters across the country were filled for months. Amidst this outpouring of enthusiasm, the relatively humble and mostly-precedented The Mother and the Law must have appeared very small to Griffith, and the same expansive imagination and drive to innovate that had spurred him throughout his career now compelled him to outdo himself.
The first to go was a linear plot line. In place of the chronological structure of The Birth of a Nation or Giovanni Pastrone's Cabiria (1914) – a source of inspiration – Griffith undertook an arching historical sweep that found its common thread in an ideologically driven theme. He had previously cut multiple story lines together around a single theme in A Corner in Wheat (1909) and Home, Sweet Home (1914). This time, Griffith's theme was intolerance or, specifically, society's tendency to restrict and defile human freedom, love and honor. In part a thinly-veiled indictment of those who criticized The Birth of a Nation, in part a continued response to the perceived loss of Southern pride and personal dignity, and in part a loose framework upon which to make a single behemoth out of four separate films, Intolerance has few equals in film history for its sheer resourcefulness and audacity of vision.
Engaging himself in a contentious struggle to make the world's largest film, Griffith continued to work, as he always had, without any script. Only a handful of Griffith's crew were even aware that a single film, and not four separate ones, was being made. As Griffith's vision grew in scale, so too did the need for prodigious quantities of sculptors, assistant directors, elephant handlers, pyrotechnicians, and real estate. The French and Judean stories, lavish productions all by themselves, were thoroughly dominated in stature and detail by the Modern and Babylonian sequences. Construction grew to such a point that Griffith had Set Designer Walter L. Hall's office built on high stilts, to afford him a better view of the increasingly expansive set. To film the Babylonian sequences, many thousands of extras were transported daily on streetcars out to the Domiguez Slough (itself pressed into duty as the Euphrates) to serve as the Persian Army. Bemused onlookers marveled at the walls of Babylon towering 160 feet high over Sunset Boulevard. Large dollies and cranes, along with platforms mounted on vehicles, allowed for radical filming techniques that thrilled audiences and cameramen alike.
Griffith ultimately found that his greatest challenge lay in the editing room. He assembled, took apart, and re-assembled the footage, as he fought to bring coherence to his vision. The critical reception that greeted the version he released in late 1916 was uncertain, as many viewers found the film to be spectacular but inscrutable. Daunted by the challenge of an authoritative, final edit, Griffith continued to cut and re-cut the film over the course of the next two decades: for foreign audiences, for revival screenings, for release of versions taken from the separate story lines. There remains no definitive copy of the film, and the 1989 reconstruction produced by the Museum of Modern Art in New York is itself the source of some critical controversy, as it contains roughly 20 minutes more footage than any version that Griffith himself ever exhibited. These issues, however, fade when placed beside the sheer kinesthetic power of the film, a power that continues to rock audiences today as forcefully as it did almost a century ago.

Lolly-Laputan: A Fairyland Kid-Friendly Cafe That Parents Will Love Too
Whether you've dined out with your kids or you've been at a restaurant where kids are dining, you know it's not always a picnic… For the parents or the other patrons. Unless parents are happy with forever being banished to Chuck E. Cheese or fast food playgrounds, they'd probably be ecstatic to find a kid-friendly cafe that caters to children and their parents alike. Wutopia Lab has made it happen in Dalian, China, with Lolly-Laputan which features a central wonderland for kids to explore and dining spaces surrounding it for the parents to hang.
The Fairyland Premium Kids Cafe recently opened and the creative playland includes Cloudy Town with an undulating series of acrylic, cloud-like panels, along with tree houses, slides, a hidden ball pit, and a carousel for kids to enjoy.
Adult-sized tables and chairs fill the extra space allowing parents to sit back comfortably while their kids run amok.
House-like structures invite children in to play and pretend, or to eat their meal with their parents.
Separate alcoves of space offer privacy for families and kids looking for a quieter experience.
The cafe's exterior is clad with punctured aluminum panels that separate reality and the freshly created, dreamy wonderland for kids and their parents.

We all want to add value to our homes, particularly after spending so much after Christmas! After all, property is one of the best investments so why not make the most of it. The rule of thumb when it comes to adding value is to utilise what you already have. Any additions that are too costly might not bring you much of a return when you sell, so work with the space and think how it could be transformed to make it more useful.
Here's a list of some of the most worthwhile alterations and additions that can add great value to properties. Remember, it's important to think about who the most likely buyers are and to go for improvements that will be most beneficial to them.
Utilise the garden
Although large gardens are becoming less and less attractive, as a nation, we do value the addition of outdoor space. Making your garden feel like another reception room could add heaps of value to your property, especially if it's currently somewhat neglected. Simply adding decking or a patio can turn a garden into a great entertaining space. Summer houses are other welcome additions, especially when staged as an extra room to enjoy.
Convert the garage
Most people would prefer an extra reception room to a garage. If you have permission to do so, then you could convert the garage to add a square footage to your home. Depending on where your garage is located, they can make fantastic playrooms for children or home offices.
Loft conversions
The loft is another often unused area of potentially functional pace in a property. Most houses don't require planning permission to convert the loft and they make really stunning rooms. Plus, they're reported to add up to 20% onto a property's value.
Add parking space
Having somewhere to park the car is a big plus for most buyers. In 2014, 29.6 million cars were registered for use in the UK, which is a 9% increase on the previous year. We clearly do like our vehicles and parking spots are becoming even more scarce, making them especially valuable. Even if your buyers don't drive, they will value the space for when family and friends come to visit. If you don't already have parking but do have a front garden, consider paving part of it to create off-road parking. You might have to apply to have the kerb dropped, but it's still well worth investigating.
Conservatories are another great way of adding square footage to your property. Consider adding one next to your dining area or kitchen to increase the size of this hugely appreciated space. And make sure you keep it at a comfortable temperature as any rooms that are too hot or cold could put buyers off.
Kitchen renovations
Kitchens are the heart of the home and there's nothing more appealing than a big welcoming room in which to cook up a feast and entertain. If you only want to improve one room, then definitely concentrate on the kitchen and add a few wow-factor touches to really make it stand out.
After the kitchen, your bathroom should be next on the list for an overhaul if it's looking dated. Opt for a crisp white suite so it appeals to lots of people and add a few ultra-stylish features to make it a room to remember.
Central heating
It might seem obvious, but adding central heating to a property that doesn't already have it will really help to increase its value and appeal. It's considered essential and buyers could try and offer less money if they need to get it installed.
Fix problems
At the very least, make sure you fix any structural problems before you put your house on the market if you want increase its value. Buyers could use any problems as leverage to get money off the asking price and majority will be pleased if they know it doesn't require any urgent work.
Making your home more environmentally friendly with the likes of solar panels, wind turbines and good insulation can increase its value. If your home is cheaper to run, it will stand out in the property market and you can usually add a premium to the price.

Total 50 pts.
1. (3 pts.) Give an example of a project that would require software engineering principles rather than just the knowledge of Computer Science. Explain why?
2. (4 pts.) What are the top four success criteria of software projects as documented by the Chaos Report? How is success defined here?
3. (3 pts.) For generic software that are sold to a wide market, it is estimated that the system testing costs is more than 50% of the total development costs. Explain? Why is this not the case for custom software?
4. (4 pts.) List at least three ACM/IEEE code of ethics (complete sentences, please). Refer to the paper titled, Software and Society in the textbook and read the section 3 on commitment to colleagues. How should one address the problems listed here?
5. (4 pts.) Explain in your own words what system engineering is? How does software engineering play a role in it, if at all? Provide an example of software for which you would have to use a system engineering approach.
6. (3 pts.) What are shall-not properties? Provide one example for an online flight reservation system, such as, expedia.com.
7. (4 pts.) Draw a block diagram of a continuous glucose monitoring system.
A continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) is an FDA-approved device that records blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. The system is used to measure an average blood sugar for up to 3 days, while the person with diabetes continues daily activities at home.
First, a tiny glucose-sensing device called a "sensor" is inserted just under the skin of your abdomen. The insertion is quick, and is usually not painful. It's very similar to insertion of an insulin pump catheter. Tape is used to hold it in place.
The sensor measures the level of glucose in the tissue every 10 seconds and sends the information via a wire to a pager-sized device called a "monitor" that you attach to a belt or the waistline of your pants. The system automatically records an average glucose value every 5 minutes for up to 72 hours.
Results of at least four finger stick blood sugar readings taken with a standard glucose meter and taken at different times each day are entered into the monitor for calibration. Any insulin taken, exercise engaged in, and meals or snacks consumed are both entered into a paper-based "diary" and recorded into the monitor (by pushing a button to mark the time of the meals, medication, exercise, and other special event you wish to record).
After 3 days, the sensor is removed at the doctor's office and the information stored in the CGMS is downloaded into a computer. You and your doctor or diabetes health care team can then review your blood sugar levels in relation to the other data collected and make any necessary adjustments in your diabetes management plan. The information will be presented as graphs or charts that can help reveal patterns of glucose fluctuations.

Mr. Speaker, as I just said, with the changes to the interim federal health program, asylum seekers and resettled refugees will continue to receive basic health insurance. That same level of service is available to all Canadian taxpayers. We are ending supplementary insurance, which is not available to Canadians.
Does the NDP think that visitors and refugees who have been turned down by our legal system should receive supplementary benefits in addition to the basic insurance?

El topo 18
A bizarre, ultra-violent, allegorical Western, "El Topo" is set in two halves that have widely been compared to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. In the first half, Jodorowsky plays a violent, black-clad gunfighter who, accompanied by his naked son, sets off on a murderous mission to challenge four Zen masters of gunfighting, and learns from each of them a Great Lesson before they die. In the second half, El Topo sets out to find personal redemption, secluding himself in a subterranean community to learn the ways of peace, but unfortunately death is never far away. First released as an underground film, it was thanks to John Lennon that the film was acquired by Allen Klein of ABKCO, who bought the rights to "El Topo" and then financed Alejandro Jodorowsky's next film "The Holy Mountain."

text: SARATOGA SPRINGS -- From horse-shaped vintage red wagons to a surrey pedal-car bedecked with potted plants, Saratogians are planning their Floral Fete entries for the old-fashioned promenade Aug. 2, the eve of the 150th milestone celebrating the date racing began in Saratoga Springs. One of the most fascinating elements of the Floral Fete, which will start at Route 50 and Broadway at 7:30 p.m., will be the self-decorated, non-motorized contingent of Saratoga County children and adults who are decorating bicycles, baby carriages, wagons and other creative contraptions on wheels in the floral motif reminiscent of the popular fetes of the late 1800s and early 1900s in Saratoga Springs. Prizes will include a $1,000 Most Creative Entry. Monetary prizes of $50, $100 and $150 will be awarded for Best Kid's Bicycle, Best Wagon, Best Baby Carriage, Best Adult Bicycle and Best Contraption on Wheels. As in days of old, the judging will take the quality of the flowers and the design into consideration, as well as originality, creativity and historical significance. Although most entries, to date, boast plans for a variety of real flowers, cut and potted, the rules are accepting of some hand-made and faux flowers -- "nice silk-like flowers and handmade crepe paper flowers on children's entries will be accepted, but no plastic," according to organizers. The promenade will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the corner of Route 50 and Broadway. The self-|decorated, non-motorized division of bicycles, baby carriages, wagons and other contraptions on wheels will join in at Walton Street, as the promenade continues down Broadway to Congress Park, where the public is invited by Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson to a communitywide ice cream social in the park. Stewart's will dish out five flavors of ice cream in cups, while supplies last, and entertainment -- from ragtime music and performing children's groups to strolling entertainers -- will abound, and Saratoga 150 tokens will be given out to exchange for free rides on the carousel. The self-decorated division and other promenade participants will receive their prizes in the Casino. Saratoga County residents interested in entering can go to www.saratoga|150.com; email inquires toFloralFete@Saratoga 150.com

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela is comfortable and able to breathe without problems as he continues to respond to treatment in hospital for a recurrence of pneumonia, President Jacob Zuma's office said on Saturday.
After the revered 94-year-old statesman and former South African president spent a third night in hospital, the presidency said doctors had drained excess fluid from his lungs to tackle the infection.
"This has resulted in him now being able to breathe without difficulty. He continues to respond to treatment and is comfortable," the statement added.
In the first detailed mention of his medical condition since his latest hospitalization, the third in four months, the presidency said the Nobel Peace Prize laureate had "developed a pleural effusion which was tapped".
Previous bulletins since he was taken to hospital late on Wednesday have reported him responding well, in "good spirits".
They have appeared to indicate that the recurrence of the lung infection afflicting Mandela is being successfully treated.
Mandela, who became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and stepped down five years later, has been mostly absent from the political scene for the past decade. But he remains an enduring and beloved symbol of the struggle against racism.
Global figures such as U.S. President Barack Obama have sent get well messages and South Africans have included Mandela in their prayers on the Easter weekend, one of the most important dates of the Christian calendar.
Mandela is revered at home and abroad for leading the struggle against white minority rule, then promoting the cause of racial reconciliation when in power.
His fragile health has been a concern for years as he has withdrawn from the public eye and mostly stayed at his affluent homes in Johannesburg and in Qunu, the rural village in the destitute Eastern Cape province near where he was born.
South Africans of all ages and walks of life have been following the official medical bulletins closely.
"He is the father of the nation, our Abraham Lincoln, our George Washington," said South African economics student Curtis Richardson, 19, as he visited Nelson Mandela Square in an upscale Johannesburg shopping mall with friends.
Mandela remains an inspirational figure worldwide.
"If he dies, it will be a tragedy, because he's such a symbol," said Kagisho Paterson, 19, a visitor from Britain, snapping photos near a towering statue of Mandela in the square.
English Premiership League soccer team Sunderland AFC designated Saturday "Nelson Mandela Day" to kick off its new deal supporting the ex-president's charitable foundation. The partnership would start with fundraising efforts during the team's home clash with Manchester United, Sunderland added.
Mandela's ruling African National Congress (ANC) is still the dominant force in South African politics, but critics say it has lost the moral compass bequeathed it by the previous generation of anti-apartheid freedom fighters.
Under such leaders as Mandela and the late Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo, the ANC gained wide international respect when it battled white rule.
Once the yoke of apartheid was thrown off in 1994, it began governing South Africa in a blaze of goodwill from world leaders who viewed it as a beacon for a troubled continent and world.
Almost two decades later, this image has dimmed as ANC leaders have been accused of indulging in the spoils of office, squandering mineral resources and engaging in power struggles.
Mandela was in hospital briefly earlier this month for a check-up and spent nearly three weeks in hospital in December with a lung infection and after surgery to remove gallstones.
He has a history of lung problems dating back to when he contracted tuberculosis as a political prisoner.
A Nigerian visitor to Johannesburg, civil engineer Gregory Osugba, 35, called Mandela "an icon of greatness and freedom" for the entire African continent and the world.
"When he goes ... the symbol will remain," he said.

I started learning some Android development and one of the first things I thought I could make is a simple game. However, I'm faced with one difficult question right off the bat. Should I use OpenGL ES 1.0 or 2.0?
The game I have envisioned will be pretty simple graphically, utilizing 2D(tiled top-down type graphics) and fixed-camera isometric views. I've never used OpenGL in a desktop environment, so I'm oblivious on if shaders will be something I'll use, etc.
According to this page I should use OpenGL ES 2.0 generally for new development. My own phone however just recently(past year) got an update to get it to the required Android 2.2. (I don't even know if it has OpenGL ES 2.0 support)
So basically my question is, will I benefit from any of OpenGL ES 2.0's features over 1.0 and/or is it worth it in terms of compatibility?

Support multilateralism in Australia
Commission on the Status of Women
A group of Australian YWILPF members have travelled to New York to participate in CSW57 including holding a 'Side Event' to highlight WILPF's support for the United Nations' focus on reducing violence against women and girls.
Support multilateralism International Campaigns
The Human Rights Programme in Geneva focuses on the active participation of WILPF in the UN Human Rights mechanisms, most important of which are the triennial Human Rights Council sessions and their related UPR sessions.
During the Human Rights Council in September 2014, WILPF's Human Rights programme organised a side event addressing the implications of military. WILPF also released two important new publications: You Get What You Pay For, highlighting the importance of investing in peace and gender justice rather than war, and Voices from Ukraine: Civil Society as a Driver for Peace, analyzing the relationship between men and women in conflict and the state of civil society.
WILPF also participates in several Treaty Body sessions, such as those of CEDAW and CERD, Working Groups, meetings with Special Representatives and other Human Rights instruments. WILPF International participates in these sessions in a number of ways:
- Reporting on the activities of these human rights bodies to our Sections
- Assisting our sections, our Disarmament Programme, and our Peace Women Programme in reporting to the Human Rights Bodies in Geneva
- Assisting our sections in their active participation to the Human Rights Bodies sessions in Geneva (through oral statements, side events and other networking activities)
- All of these activities with our Sections form the crucial link between the Human Rights Bodies in Geneva and our local, grassroots members. The assistance provided to the other programmes and projects of WILPF International also ensures the Human Rights Integrated Approach is implemented.

Financial Facts: Both the borrower and the property must be approved
Special to the Daily
When a potential borrower first meets with me they have one concern, will they be approved for the mortgage. They have good jobs and money in the bank. They have decent credit scores and they have money for a down payment. Most likely they will be approved. But the one thing that very seldom comes up in the conversation is if the property will be approved too.
I would estimate that well over 90 percent of the raw land and homes here in the High Country are eligible for conventional mortgages. It's that other 10 percent that can really cause a lot of sleepless nights for both the buyers and the sellers.
An example of this type of property is one with an old substandard cabin on a great piece of land. The land has views and year-round access, but the old cabin has running water only when it rains. The well water comes from an illegal hole in the ground and the septic system is in major disrepair. I would bet that we are going to have a hard time finding a lender for this property.
If you are looking for a piece of land or a fixer-upper, make sure to take time right up front and visit with your mortgage lender. A few minutes of education will save you a lot of time and it will make it easier to know what to walk away from before you fall in love with that property.
Other examples of hard, if not impossible, properties to finance are ones such as a raw piece of land that you cannot get to in the winter unless you hike or ride a snowmobile to get there. If the county does not have year-round maintenance and the local fire department cannot get there, I suggest that you keep looking, unless you pay cash for the property.
If the home is made of straw and stucco or old rubber tires, I can tell you right now most all conventional lenders will not finance that home. If the home is off the electric grid and the closest power pole is miles away, you will find it hard if not impossible to finance.
Another problem that we are seeing here in the High Country is homes where the actual value of the land is significantly higher than the value of the existing structure. I have had very few of these types of property approved by an underwriter in the past and I anticipate it getting even harder in the future.
Now keep in mind that even though these types of homes are hard to finance, they are not impossible. If you as a buyer are looking to buy a unique home or unusual piece of land there are lenders who will take that risk. But they will require a much larger down payment, from 20-50 percent of the purchase price.
The bottom line is that you need to meet with your lender right up front if you are looking for that unusual home or land. Get educated on what will or will not be approved before you invest a lot of time and energy into a property that will never be approved.

My mother's mental health reached a low I'd never seen before when I was in high school. Eventually, I was made to leave home, which was difficult but, in retrospect, I see that it allowed me to make some great discoveries about my friends and myself. Here are some moments from that day, as I remember them, and as they felt to me at the time:
After the fight, there are two officers at our house, and one of them tells me that I have to leave. I stand still, staring at my mother, who is inexplicably smiling at me, wide and bright. The officer grabs my upper arm and we go to my bedroom while her partner finds some garbage bags for me to put my belongings into. "I'm still in high school," I say, and she tells me, "You're old enough that if your mother doesn't want you here, you have to leave."
"Where am I supposed to go?" I ask, panicked. She shrugs, "to your dad's house, to a friend's house… it's not my place to tell you." But I haven't seen my father in years, and I have no friends who would understand this. No friends who have the same kind of family life I do. I feel utterly alone.
Her partner hands me the garbage bags and tells me that I can take whatever I can fit in them. I stand staring at my room. The pictures on the wall, the magazine cutouts, the dried flowers, and my books - I find my journal and put it in the bag. Then, once again, I'm motionless. "I think you'll need more than just a book, don't you?" says the second officer. He opens my dresser drawer and starts cramming clothes into a bag, until I snap out of it and take up the task.
"Okay, let's speed this process up, please," says the first officer, "you need to be out of here in the next five minutes." I start grabbing things that seem important, but the room is unsteady, and I can't focus. "Bags look full," she says, after a minute, "let's go." As they lead me out of the house, my mother, still smiling, mouths, "bye-bye."
It's raining out, and I still don't know where I'm going. The police offer to follow me, to make sure I get there safely, but I decline. Humiliated, I walk to the schoolyard beside our house and sit pitifully with my two bags. Rain beads on them, so I stand under the slide to keep dry - I feel like I'm in some ridiculous TV drama. Minutes go by, and I notice the police sitting in their car watching me. If I don't leave soon, they'll make me.
So, I walk, all my worldly belongings bouncing cumbersomely at my sides. And, though I asked them not to, the police drive behind me until I reach Joey's house. I'm mortified, but she's my closest friend in this town, and it's the only place I can think to go - I'm not anticipating a good reaction from Joey's mom, but she sees me as I walk in and, no questions asked, she grabs a bag from my hand and carries it to Jo's room.
That night, a gurgling sound wakes me. Joey is sitting upright in her bed, her hands twisted up unnaturally, completely tense. I've slept over before when she's had a seizure, and I'm just thankful that this time she didn't make it out of the bed. (When she was small, her parents, not knowing much about epilepsy, had taught her to run to their room when she felt she might have a seizure. This is so ingrained in her that she still bolts from her room some nights, often injuring herself.)
The next day at school, I go to the library and learn a little about epilepsy. The spoon thing is a myth. Repeated concussions caused by seizures can result in long-term damage. The aftermath of a seizure is much like a severe hangover, and worse if there are injuries. I realize that Jo must feel like this a few times a week at least, and I have a renewed respect for my friend who's so gentle, but much stronger than anyone knows.
I'm sharing a room with Jo until I can find a place of my own, so over the next month, I sleep lightly and, when she needs it, I help her as best I can. When Jo's mom finds me a room to rent, I'm excited but worried about leaving Joey. When I find out that my new place is just next door to their house, I have a feeling Jo's mom wants to keep me close and, instead of being offended, I'm actually grateful to know that someone's looking out for me.
Prior to this strange life event, I'd never let anyone know what I was going through, because I feared judgment, and I assumed people wouldn't understand. But, in this situation, despite my aversion to vulnerability, I had to let others see my weakness. When I let people in, my burdens felt lighter, and my friends helped me in ways I didn't expect, and couldn't have gotten by without.
Looking back on the situation now, I can see that support networks don't all look the same. The classic "parents and family" support network doesn't apply to everyone, and it didn't apply to me (although my inner optimist certainly did try to get blood from that stone, even years later).
This experience also taught me to trust and love myself. Before this, I was used to being written off and devalued, and I started to feel like I had nothing to offer. I was unfairly vilified, and it really shook my sense of self - sometimes I wondered if I was truly as awful as my mother said. Trusting my friends, and being away from my toxic family environment, allowed me to understand myself better - to see myself as a kind and caring person, and a person worthy of kindness.

Lake Effect: Grand Rapids', West Michigan's Winter 2014-15 Weather Forecast [Video]
After last winter, many us are approaching this winter with caution.
Today probably didn't help: snow on Halloween?
The National Weather Service's winter weather forecast is out. All we can say is make sure those snow blowers and shovels are ready if you live, work and/or play -- not to mention drive or travel -- between U.S. 131 and the Lake Michigan shore in greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan.

The Palestinians put the number of prisoners who had required hospital care at 78.

Oracle Corp. dazzled the market on Tuesday with its earnings and allayed fears about an executive leaving. Nonetheless, those who take the software company's financial statements at face value continue to expose themselves to the risk of less pleasant surprises.rumours swirled Monday that Keith Block, Oracle's executive vice president of North America sales and consulting, had left the company he joined in 1986. He wrote instant messages that became public recently, in which he had criticised Oracle's hardware business and co-president Mark Hurd. Among other things, Block said Oracle "bought a dog" when it acquired Sun Microsystems for around $7.4 billion in 2009, according to news reports.
Oracle swept in with an announcement, reportedly three days ahead of schedule, that its total sales rose 1% to $10.92 billion during the three months ended May 31 compared to the same period last year. Without directly addressing the rumours, Hurd said on a conference call Monday that Oracle had asked Joanne Olsen, its senior vice president for cloud computing services, to run its North American applications business.
After the news Oracles's stock price gained more than 3% to trade at $27.97 per share early on Tuesday, recovering some of the 2.1% in value it had shed amid the market worries on Monday.
Oracle has shuffled its executive ranks more than once. In December 2009, Oracle's board member and president Charles Phillips told CEO Larry Ellison that he wanted to transition out of the company. Ellison asked him to stay on through the Sun integration, and in September 2010 the company announced his departure. Then Ellison's buddy Hurd, faced with a sexual harassment lawsuit, left his job as CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co. to become president and director at Oracle in 2010. (Ellison said HP's board had "made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs," according to an August 2010 article in the New York Times.) In October that year Oracle said N.R.K. Raman resigned from the board and from his role as CEO of Oracle Financial Services Software Limited, to be replaced by Chaitanya M. Kamat. And then Oracle's CFO Jeff Epstein resigned, after which Oracle said in April 2011 that its president Safra Catz would add his CFO responsibilities to her own; she remains in this capacity.
Meanwhile Oracle has had run-ins with regulators for years. For example, the Justice Department said in October 2011 that Oracle agreed to pay more than $199.5 million for allegedly failing to meet its contractual obligations to provide the General Services Administration with accurate information about its sales practices.
Due to red flags such as these, GMI gives Oracle an F on its overall corporate governance. The company's financial statements reflect an AGR score of 13, indicating more accounting and governance risk than 87% of comparable companies.
Some might argue that such uncertainty is already priced into Oracle's shares, which do look cheap. As of Tuesday intra-day Oracle's stock price amounted to 14.73 times the trailing twelve-month average of its earnings per share, compared to the industry average of 35.87 times. But to have confidence in this comparison, you must assume that Oracle's earnings statements reflect reality.
Of course U.S. company statements are always vetted for their accuracy – with all the efficacy apparent in the system. And when a company publicly implies that sexual harassment is OK, repeatedly gets into trouble with the law, and has executive-level shuffles, this doesn't necessarily mean it also lies about financial performance. But even so, it might be safer to do business with others who have not had such problems.
Or you could take Ellison's word for it that his sales grew in the quarter ended this May and, like others on Tuesday, get excited enough to buy.

Internetworking is "the concept of interconnecting different types of networks to build a large, global network"[1]:169 such that any pair of connected hosts can exchange packets. To build an internetwork, the following are needed:[2]:103 A standardized scheme to address packets to any host on any participating network; a standardized protocol defining format and handling of transmitted packets; components interconnecting the participating networks by routing packets to their destinations based on standardized addresses.
The resulting system of interconnected networks are called an internetwork, or simply an internet. Internetworking is a combination of the words inter ("between") and networking; not internet-working or international-network.
The most notable example of internetworking is the Internet, a network of networks based on many underlying hardware technologies. For the Internet, the Internet Protocol defines a unified, global address format and provides rules for format and handling of packets, and routers are the components that interconnect participating networks.[2]:103
The smallest amount of effort to create an internet (an internetwork, not the Internet), is to have two LANs of computers connected to each other via a router. Simply using either a switch or a hub to connect two local area networks together doesn't imply internetworking; it just expands the original LAN.
Interconnection of networksEdit
Internetworking started as a way to connect disparate types of networking technology, but it became widespread through the developing need to connect two or more local area networks via some sort of wide area network. The original term for an internetwork was catenet.
The definition of an internetwork today includes the connection of other types of computer networks such as personal area networks. The network elements used to connect individual networks in the ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet, were originally called gateways, but the term has been deprecated in this context, because of possible confusion with functionally different devices. Today the interconnecting gateways are called routers.
Another type of interconnection of networks often occurs within enterprises at the Link Layer of the networking model, i.e. at the hardware-centric layer below the level of the TCP/IP logical interfaces. Such interconnection is accomplished with network bridges and network switches. This is sometimes incorrectly termed internetworking, but the resulting system is simply a larger, single subnetwork, and no internetworking protocol, such as Internet Protocol, is required to traverse these devices. However, a single computer network may be converted into an internetwork by dividing the network into segments and logically dividing the segment traffic with routers. The Internet Protocol is designed to provide an unreliable (not guaranteed) packet service across the network. The architecture avoids intermediate network elements maintaining any state of the network. Instead, this function is assigned to the endpoints of each communication session. To transfer data reliably, applications must utilize an appropriate Transport Layer protocol, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which provides a reliable stream. Some applications use a simpler, connection-less transport protocol, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), for tasks which do not require reliable delivery of data or that require real-time service, such as video streaming [3] or voice chat.
Networking modelsEdit
Two architectural models are commonly used to describe the protocols and methods used in internetworking.
The Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model was developed under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and provides a rigorous description for layering protocol functions from the underlying hardware to the software interface concepts in user applications. Internetworking is implemented in the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the model.
The Internet Protocol Suite, also called the TCP/IP model of the Internet was not designed to conform to the OSI model and does not refer to it in any of the normative specifications in Requests for Comment and Internet standards. Despite similar appearance as a layered model, it uses a much less rigorous, loosely defined architecture that concerns itself only with the aspects of logical networking. It does not discuss hardware-specific low-level interfaces, and assumes availability of a Link Layer interface to the local network link to which the host is connected. Internetworking is facilitated by the protocols of its Internet Layer.

In Mount & Blade, I was recently attacked by a Lord whose army outnumbered mine 2:1. I tried my best to avoid the fight, as I knew I wouldn't stand a chance, but he was adamant about fighting with me.
Needless to say, I lost. Badly. I managed to get captured, along with my 54 men. However, I was fortunate enough to escape from my captors. Unfortunately, it was only me and 2 of my heroes, leaving me with only 3 troops.
Is there any way for me to get them back? Say, if I were to capture a Lord from the Kingdom in which my men are being held?

John Galliano resurfaces at Oscar de la Renta
The fashion world is buzzing with the news that disgraced designer John Galliano has been invited to spend time with Oscar de la Renta at his design studio in New York for the next three weeks. The time frame incorporates de la Renta's preparation for New York Fashion Week, the American Fashion industry's main event.
Two years ago, Galliano's anti-Semitic rants in a Paris café, which included, "I love Hitler," went viral, costing him his prestigious job as creative director at Christian Dior. In a statement released by de la Renta, Galliano said, "I am an alcoholic. Several years prior to my sobriety, I descended into the madness of the disease. I said and did things, which hurt others, especially members of the Jewish community. I have expressed my sorrow privately and publicly for the pain which I caused, and I continue to do so."
For his part, de la Renta, an elder statesman in the fashion world, is forgiving. "Everyone in life deserves a second chance, especially someone as talented as John. I think that life is about forgiving and helping people…. I think John is doing all the right things, " he told Women's Wear Daily. "John and I have known each other for many years and I am a great admirer of his talent," de la Renta said in his statement. "He has worked long and hard on his recovery and I am happy to give him the opportunity to reimmerse himself in the world of fashion….,"
Surprisingly, the Anti-Defamation League, supports de la Renta's move. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL's national director told WWD, "We believe that individuals can change their hearts and minds as long as they demonstrate true contrition." According to Foxman, during his recovery, Galliano met with the ADL and "accepted full responsibility for his previous remarks."
Galliano's role at de la Renta is undefined. Widely considered one of fashion's most creative and talented names, he said, "I am grateful to Oscar beyond words for inviting me to spend time with him in the familiar surroundings of a design studio," said Galliano. "His support and fatih in me is humbling." As for speculation that de la Renta is grooming him to take over his fabled fashion house? "Certainly not," he told WWD. I hope to be around for a long time."

VIENNA, July 15 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Tuesday after days of intense meetings in Vienna to negotiate a final Iranian nuclear agreement that there remain "very real gaps."
The ultimate aim, U.S. officials have repeatedly said, is to achieve an agreement that permits Iran to continue to develop an exclusively peaceful nuclear program with commitments from Iran that it will not seek to develop a nuclear weapon. "These goals," Kerry reiterated Tuesday, "are not incompatible. In fact, they are realistic."
Kerry is seeking concrete assurances from Iran regarding the purpose of its nuclear program.
"Over the past few days, I have had lengthy conversations with Foreign Minister Zarif about what Iran is willing to do and what it needs to do to not only assure the community of nations, but to adhere to what the foreign minister himself has said repeatedly are Iran's own limited objectives: not just to declare that they will not obtain a nuclear weapon, but to demonstrate in the actions they take beyond any reasonable doubt that any Iranian nuclear program, now and going forward, is exclusively for peaceful purposes."
Despite the hurdles, Kerry hailed "tangible progress on key issues," stating Tuesday that "we moved on certain things" but offered no specifics.
Kerry announced he was returning to Washington to consult with President Barack Obama.
Left #Vienna, en route back to US. Will consult w/ Pres. Obama & Congressional leadership this week re: path forward for #IranTalksVienna.— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) July 15, 2014
Meanwhile, negotiations amongst other delegates from the P5+1 countries -- the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (the U.K., China, France, Russia, the U.S.) plus Germany -- with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will continue, as they seek to reach a comprehensive agreement by the July 20 deadline.
