A Cold Winter Night
by Jimmie Cohron
He found himself in the disciplinary segregation unit of the prison. Stripped naked, cold, battered and bruised, in a cell with nothing but a concrete slab and stainless steel toilet. There he hung by his arms from the food tray slot, hog-tied with handcuffs, belly chains, and leg irons; wondering how he managed to get himself in such a predicament.
The morning started out like any other. The lights turned on early, the officer rattled those brass keys that hung from his hip, and breakfast was served cold. Never a good combination for such an environment, raw ingredients for uncertain times ahead.
In that atmosphere of contempt, getting swept up in the hate was easy, like lighting a match in a book. It was an argument over a piece of grapefruit missing from the breakfast tray with what seemed a simple solution but not in this climate of distrust.
Like a hurricane the tier exploded in mayhem as 50 disgruntled personalities began to scream obscenities, rattling their cell doors and banging on the iron tables. Cold food, trash, and unimaginable things began to little the tier. The officer found himself dodging debris as he made his way off the tier.
As suddenly as the storm erupted, it ended. Everyone crawled back into bed under their covers as if they could hide. But it wasn't over quite yet as the guards made their way back onto the tier like aftershocks from an earthquake. It was now their turn to wreak havoc. Randomly selecting individuals to enact punishment upon. Ah, this is how he found himself hanging from the food tray slot. One picked out of several to be moved to the isolation tier. The black box! So named for their ability to close an outer door, shutting off the lights, plunging one into total darkness. Even your screams were lost in this black hole.
The lunacy did not stop there, now they requested that he give up his clothes. In defiance, he dared them to come take them. The grey and black uniforms started to collect outside the cell door eager to take him up on his offer. They were coming in to enforce their will. The adrenaline rushed throughout his body and his ears began to ring. It was fight or flight with nowhere to run. The writing was on the wall but he raised his fists as the cell door began to roll open. With every able body that they could fit, they squeezed into that 8 by 10 cell. Slamming him face down on the concrete slab with a knee to the side of the head as the clothes were ripped violently from his body. Hog-tied and hung, the outer door left open allowing in the frigid December breeze with no way to escape its icy grip. Just a longing to find the warmth of his own body on this winter night.

That's what I love about message boards. These "student-strengthened populism" narratives will still be around six months from now when some hard-line Islamic theocracy seizes the reins of power.Keep smoking that blunt, sir.
Smoke 'em if you've got 'em Virg, I'm just saying that the old guard is going the way of the Dodo bird. Newer blood is taking over, and the bottom line is that, for the most part, less repressive governments. maybe not "USA" templates, but not widespread Islamic fundamentalism.
3/20/11 - Update:Egyptians go to the polls and overwhelmingly approve changes and revisions to their constitution. This is starting to look like something good happenning in Egypt. No talk of Islamic militants...I'll bet Virgil hoped that I had forgotten what he said a few weeks ago.......You guys really have to start looking for that silver lining....

Great day for hard drives
After years of buying hard drives that say 400gb, but format out to 372.529gb, Seagate lost a class-action suit that accused hard drive manufacturers of using misleading statements about the capacity of their hard drives. Hard drives have traditionally used 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) bytes for 1 gigabyte, but everyone else uses 1,073,741,824 bytes = 1 gigabyte. The difference comes from using the next power of 2 (2^30 = 1 gigabyte) vs actual byte count (1 billion bytes = 1 gigabyte). All other computer components (i.e. memory) use the power of 2 notation; looks like HD manufacturers will need to start doing that now too.
But the good part is that you can cash in (or at least help the lawyers cash in). Go to this online form and fill it out if you've bought a hard drive before January 1, 2006.

Is it right for me to vote if I'm ALWAYS neutral about where I "think" the market is going? My portfolio is getting bearish but I'm neutral!
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.

Sentient Being, of course your vote is important. Neutral is just as important as bullish and bearish in this Poll. Thanks for participating.

SB, I was thinking earlier that Darris poll almost always has about 20% neutral. I hope it isn't the same 20% all the time. That would get boring.....fast! ufo

voting here is no different than voting in an election. My timer uses a sentiment survey with great success. Many have said they wont vote because they felt like a lab rat or guinea pig. Yet when the same members vote every week some great trades have been made from this data. Sorry Mark it's nots yours.
Posted 18 November 2003 - 11:42 PM
I wish all members voted in this poll. It is the only daily poll that shows active trader sentiment. It is practically saving us from having to make fifty individual phone calls to trading buddies finding out what they think. I swear by the theory that by watching volume action one can see clearly which side is on the defensive. I believe watching sentiment shifts has similar value, illuminating some otherwise unexplainable aberrations on the charts. We should go on other boards periodically to invite people to join this poll. In my three weeks of following this poll I noticed that when the bullish/bearish ratio is lopsided the next day there is at least a stall in the price movement. This is one way I find it useful. (tonight nearly 2:1 bear/bull ratio is not lopsided) An other way is when there is a standoff (hesitation) like after mondays' action and the market just keeps going, basically then it is weaker than expected. I am sure there are other connections I just have not noticed them. I suspect that combinig the poll info with shifts in the up/dn volume ratio(which represents the factual condition of the market) and using short term oscillators we'll have a good grasp of the flow of the market. One should be asking at each junction: against what kind of background did what happen happen? After todays action nearly twice as many voted bullish then bearish and it would not be a surprise if the market rallied, but, if tomorrw is another down or sideways that would be a surprise. The beauty of the poll is that it contains the information from the serious to the shoot from the hip, from the beginner to a guy like me who has been trading for decades, from the bear to the super bull, so everyone's vote is important.

In the tenth grade, Kathleen May nearly got suspended from school for fighting. After years in small, innovative classrooms in an affluent suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, May's education took a turn in the 1980s when court-ordered desegregation led to her transfer to an inner-city high school across the freeway. Gangs and drugs were common, and "as a White student, it was impossible to blend in," said May, an allergist-immunologist and associate professor of pediatrics and medicine at the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta. "I became an immediate target simply because of the color of my skin."
Kathleen May, MD
Those experiences opened her eyes to a painful truth — racism creates educational barriers that keep people in some minority groups poorly represented in medicine and ultimately the allergy workforce.
"White privilege does exist, and opportunities are not equal, and people don't realize it," May told Medscape Medical News before delivering the Bela Schick Lecture at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) 2021 Annual Meeting, held November 4–8 in New Orleans, Louisiana. "I'm going to make them think about the pipeline in a way they haven't thought about it — from the ground up," May said.
In her talk, "Three Ps: Revisited," May described the downstream effects of population-wide educational obstacles on patients, physicians, and the allergy profession.
Patients "are those who need healthcare" — in other words, "all of us," May said. Poor people and people of color suffer disproportionately from a host of common diseases — among them, atopic dermatitis. The disease is more prevalent in Black patients than in their White counterparts, yet it's often underdiagnosed and undertreated, according to data presented at the ACAAI meeting by Ama Alexis, MD, an allergist and clinical assistant professor of pediatrics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York City.
And although poor access to care and many other factors contribute to health disparities, "I think that education, or lack thereof, explains a significant amount of the variance that we see," May said.
Supporting this point, she showed a slide that contained a scatterplot from a 2016 study that tracked the outcomes of Georgia high school graduates. It showed that the greater the proportion of those who qualified for free lunch at a given school, the less likely the students at that school were to complete a post–high school degree.
In that study, analysis of the demographics of high school graduates by race or ethnicity showed that decreasing proportions of Black and Hispanic students go on to enroll in post–secondary school programs and to complete degrees. White and Asian students, on the other hand, show proportional increases in both degree enrollment and completion.
Moving down the pipeline, it follows, then, that "reduced diversity among those receiving undergraduate degrees directly impacts the representativeness of our physician population," May said. According to physician demographic trends in 2018 data from the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 5.0% of US physicians are Black, yet Blacks represent 12.4% of the US population. Underrepresentation is worse for other groups: Hispanics make up 18.5% of the population, yet they make up only 5.8% of the physician workforce.
A perspective article published on November 4 in The New England Journal of Medicine offers several reasons why efforts to diversify the physician workforce have hardly moved the needle. "Academic medical institutions have focused disproportionately on the lack of qualified underrepresented minority applicants," the authors write. "Because of this narrow focus, leaders haven't developed a more comprehensive understanding of the structural inequities and system-level biases that prevent recruitment, retention, and advancement of highly talented students, trainees, and faculty from underrepresented groups."
Why is it important to have a physician population that mirrors the US population in terms of ethnicity? A study published in November 2020 in JAMA Network Open found a positive association between patient-experience ratings and racial/ethnic and gender concordance. "In other words, patient satisfaction improves when a physician looks like them," May said.
At the professional level, the American Medical Association adopted a major policy to increase physician workforce diversity. But more importantly, individuals can help promote a physician population that better reflects the country's ethnic and racial diversity. May closed her talk with a few suggestions. "It may start by having an interested undergraduate student shadow you in your office or talking to a bright young student whose career path is uncertain," she said. "Those of us in graduate medical education have the opportunity to be even more intentional — speaking with interested medical students and residents from diverse backgrounds."
Presentations such as May's exemplify how the ACAAI really "captures the zeitgeist," Alexis told Medscape Medical News. With presentations on atopic dermatitis but also on vaccine hesitancy, telemedicine, and health disparities, she said, the conference incorporates "all those things that are relevant right now, which will help us be better doctors."
To encourage more Black physicians to enter the specialty, the ACAAI Task Force on Diversity is partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics' section on allergy and immunology to bring its Chitra Dinakar Visiting Professor Program to historically Black medical colleges. In addition, they are offering SPARK awards to help pediatric and internal medicine residents learn about the allergy field by pairing them with mentors and covering their expenses for 3 days at the ACAAI annual meeting.
In an interview with Medscape after the Bela Schick Lecture, Cherie Zachary, MD, chair of the task force, said that diversity and equity initiatives often feel overwhelming — like a "big 20-ounce steak. You can't eat it in one bite."
May's personal story was an "elegant way to tackle what would be a complex and difficult topic," Zachary said. By breaking it down "so that it resonates with them on a personal level, it becomes very easy for people to say, how do we approach this?"
May and Zachary report no relevant financial relationships. Alexis has received consulting fees from Pfizer and Regeneron.

Wednesday afternoon in Chicago, on the North Side, Dioner Navarro became the first switch-hitting Cub in Cubs history to hit three home runs in a single game. This got us wondering, of course, about the unlikeliest players with three homers in one game.
Short Answer: Dioner Navarro's on the list, but he's hardly at the top.
The top spot might go to little Freddie Patek, who hit only 41 home runs in his long career; three of them came in this game (and if memory serves, the Green Monster helped Patek quite a lot).
Or what about Tuffy Rhodes? Like Navarro, Rhodes did his three-homer damage at Wrigley Field. How unlikely does that seem? Considering that Rhodes hit only 13 home runs in his whole career, mighty unlikely indeed. But considering that he hit a million home runs in Japan, maybe not so terribly unlikely at all.
Jose Ortiz hit 14 homers in his whole career and didn't go crazy in Japan, which makes this game seem all the crazier.
Jeff Treadway hit three homers in one game, just 25 in the rest of his career. Brant Brown hit three home runs in one game, just 42 in the rest of his career. Chris Woodward hit three homers in one game, just 30 in the rest of his career.
And all this is just going back to the late 1970s. Going back even farther, there's Don Leppert in 1963, Steve Boros in 1962, Bill Glynn in 1954, Del Wilber in 1951, and -- my all-time favorite, perhaps our winner -- knuckleballer Jim Tobin in 1942.
I doubt if Navarro's in our All-Time Top 10. He'll probably win this season, though!

Considered an "Asian tiger" with its high-growth economy and one of the rising stars of the Far Eastern economy, Taiwan wants to develop its commercial cooperation with Turkey.
Despite limited diplomatic relations between Turkey and Taiwan, commercial relations have been generally maintaining a regular course. The trade volume between the two countries exceeded $1 billion for the first time in 2004 and reached $2.2 billion last year.
Having stood at $118.9 million in 2013, Turkey's exports to Taiwan surged by 72 percent as of the previous year, reaching $204.5 million. Exports of automobiles rose tenfold compared to the previous year, amounting to $58.5 million.
Turkey's main export products to Taiwan include copper ore, borate, synthetic yarn, marble and other natural stones as well as iron and steel flat products. However, there are also developments in the exports of some other product groups, such as wood materials, plates, passenger cars, mobile devices and pasta.
Meanwhile, imports estimated to be around $1.6 billion in 2016, it rose to $2 billion last year. The import items mostly included intermediate goods. Among the most important items, Turkey imports from Taiwan were integrated circuits, machine tools for metalworking, iron-steel screws, nuts, bolts, mobile phones, televisions and monitors.
There are 21 Taiwan-based companies in Turkey. Commercial and economic relations between the two countries are maintained in the natural course without state support. In order to develop commercial, economic and cultural relations between Turkey and Taiwan, the "Taipei Cultural Office" is operating in Ankara along with the "Turkish Trade Office" in Taipei.
According to a study conducted by the Turkish Trade Office in Taiwan, the export potential stands out in cherries, apricots, grapes, figs, oranges, lemons, sunflowers, olive oil, hazelnuts, walnuts, seafood, glass, ceramics, souvenirs, branded textile products, leather, apparel, chemical products, dishwashers, auto spare parts and accessories, as well as forestry products.
Taipei's Economic and Cultural Mission Representative Yasser Cheng said they want Turkey to be more involved in the Taiwanese market.
The investment volume between Turkey and Taiwan is not at the desired level and that there is no regulation to prevent double taxation, Cheng added that Taiwanese investors have turned to Eastern European countries such as Czechia, Poland and Slovakia for this reason.
Cheng noted that Taiwan is working on selling more products to Turkey. "We also want Turkey to promote its products in Taiwan. There are ongoing collaborations between Turkey and Taiwan in many areas such as culture, health, medicine, agriculture, science, technology, smart cities and maritime transport," Cheng continued.
"We can also develop our cooperation in many other areas such as solar energy, green energy and information technologies. We want Taiwan's products and investments to come to Turkey more and to open up to European, African and Middle Eastern markets," he said.
Cheng pointed to the quality of Turkey's agricultural products and natural resources and said that Taiwan could import agricultural products and marble from Turkey, while Turkish businesspeople could also invest in these areas.
He recalled that in the last five years, there has been a lot of collaboration between the two countries, stressing that the start of direct flights between Istanbul and Taipei as of March 2015 was an important step in that
Touching on the tourism figures between Turkey and Taiwan, Cheng said that an average of 80,000 Taiwanese tourists come to Istanbul annually, bringing at least $250 million, highlighting that Taiwan has demonstrated good will for balancing the trade deficit between the two countries with more tourists.
Cheng also stressed the interest of Taiwanese tourists in Turkey and invited Turkish tourists to come and visit Taiwan.

New Delhi, April 17, 2019-
The Congress on Wednesday described demonetisation as the "biggest scam" of the country and alleged that it "may have helped criminals to monetise by looting the treasury and the poor".
Addressing a press conference here, senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Kapil Sibal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "sleeping" and not ordering probe to uncover "the loot".
"Demonetisation is the biggest scam of the country," Sibal said while slamming the November 2016 decision of the Modi government to ban currency of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination.
"Why was the 'chowkidar' asleep when all this happened? The absence of an investigation suggests that those involved in this loot are being protected. Those who have collaborated with corruption cannot pretend to be clean," said a statement issued by the Congress.
The statement said that Congress' "expose" on April 9 had spoken of alleged role of Rahul Ratharekar, a field assistant, and sought to prove his identity through his identity card, which was purportedly seen in the video. He said the "expose" also talked of involvement of a banker.
Sibal said the Cabinet Secretariat issued a statement soon afterwards, saying that Ratharekar had been its constable-level employee and was dismissed in June 2017 "on suspicion of his role in exchange of old currency notes, post demonetisation".
The party said that the statement "clearly demonstrates" that the expose made by the party on the scam on March 26 and April 9 were genuine and the events seen in the video reflected the manner in which these exchanges took place.
"The involvement of government functionaries, bankers and state authorities clearly demonstrate a conspiracy to loot the treasury in a manner never seen before… Who in the chain was responsible for this loot? It requires a thorough investigation, which this government has failed to do despite knowledge of this scam," Sibal said.
"It seems that the official machinery was actively participating in this huge scam and in the process enriching themselves," the former Minister alleged.
He said a video was shown on March 26 with reference to the "exchange of monies in Gujarat which proved the linkage between the scam and those close to the BJP".
"It is a matter of shame that despite the expose in which the opposition parties participated, no steps have been taken by the government to investigate these matters," Sibal alleged.
"It is unthinkable that crores of cash in the form of currency notes of Rs 2,000 denomination could have been available without the active collaboration of members of the treasury and those hoarding these notes for the purposes of making the exchange and earning commissions through such exchanges," the lawyer-politician said.
Posing questions to the BJP, he asked why no FIR had been lodged, nor investigations started to "find the identity of those involved in the exchange of currency notes, post demonetisation in Gujarat?"
The party also asked why Ratharekar was not arrested and investigated at the time when he was dismissed from service.
"What was the evidence with the government on the basis of which they suspected Ratharekar's involvement in the alleged money exchange? Was a show-cause notice issued to him before the dismissal? Why were the activities of Rathareka not fully investigated?"
Sibal showed a new video purportedly from Maharashtra relating to currency exchange and said it makes "demonetisation scam a matter of national shame".
He alleged that an investigative journalist handed over presentation of smart city projects followed by a discussion on exchange of currency notes worth Rs 300 crore in the presence of a BJP worker in the Mantrayala building in Mumbai in 2017.
Answering a query, he said the BJP is flooded with money and the opposition was facing drought. "Those facing the drought are being targeted. This is the record of this government," he said. (Agency)

Keeping Him Honest: Trump Appoints A Snake In A Skull To Advise On Ethics
Yesterday, President-Elect Donald Trump announced that he would put his incredibly successful businesses in a trust controlled by his two super-hot sons, Eric and Donald Jr., to avoid any 'conflicts of interest ' while he spends the next four years making America great again!
Sorry, Russia! Buy all the Trump Steak you want, but it 's not gonna get gonna get you any favors – just the world 's most incredible meat!
But the narcs at the Office of Government Ethics didn 't think he was going far enough. They want him to sell his entire business off to avoid 'suspicions of corruption. ' Apparently, only poor losers get to be President?
So to silence his critics once again, Trump tweeted out this morning that the Trump Organization had brought on an independent ethics monitor to make absolutely sure that all of it 's future business dealings are up to snuff '
It 's a snake in a human skull.
A snake in a skull in charge of ethics? Yeah, we 're thinking that should shut those crybaby haters up pretty dang quick.
For one, the snake in a skull isn 't in anybody 's pocket. No one even knows where it came from. It just appeared one night in a ring of smoldering ash on the floor of Trump 's penthouse.
Also, the snake in a skull won 't be paid by the Trump Organization, only fed with vials of little Barron Trump 's blood.
And the snake in a skull has a reputation for being a straight shooter. When people look into its eyes, they can hear the words 'feed ' and 'power ' echoing inside their heads. Sounds like a nice break from all that typical Washington double-talk!
So don 't worry about the Trumps keeping on the straight and narrow. When Eric and Donald Jr. want to make sure that a new business proposal is on the up and up, all they have to do is lay a slaughtered calf on the altar of the snake and wait to see if it accepts their sacrifice.
Keep draining that swamp, Donald! We trust you! And we know that as long as your sons obey the will of the snake, they 'll be doing what 's best for America!

Futuristic Tech-Driven Policing Will Only Be as Good as the Cops Doing It
One doesn't need a predictive-policing program to realize that police officers who have been convicted of serious crimes ought not to be trusted with a badge.
In Washington, D.C. in 2054, a Department of PreCrime determines who is going to commit a crime before it happens. The government uses three mutants, known as "precogs," who have precise visions of future events. Police are sent in advance to arrest the not-quite-criminals and, voila, the crime rate drops to zero. That is the backdrop of the movie, "Minority Report," based on a story from the late Orange County sci-fi writer Philip Dick.
Dystopian stories take real-life trends and extrapolate them far into the future, as a way to explore the moral conundrums of current policies. Flash forward 17 years from the movie's release (or back 35 years from the future!), and we find the Los Angeles Police Department wanting to impose its own version of what is known as "predictive policing." Instead of mutants, LAPD uses computers and human analysts.
The department pinpointed high-crime LASER zones—Los Angeles Strategic Extraction and Restoration—and tried to determine where to deploy a greater police presence. That sounded OK, but the computer system also created a profile of actual people who might have a propensity to commit crimes based on data about gang membership and arrest records. That's startling.
The inspector general found that "44 percent of chronic offenders had either zero or one arrest for violent crimes" and "about half had no arrest for gun-related crimes," according to a Los Angeles Times report, which noted that LAPD ultimately suspended the tool. Apparently, these technologies work better in the movies.
It reminds me of the state attorney general's APPS program (Armed Prohibited Persons System), which sends agents to the homes of people who are no longer are deemed eligible to own firearms. It sounds like a great way to remove guns from "bad guys," until one realizes that the complex computer-generated lists are woefully inaccurate, according to some reports. Our government cannot get its current databases right, so how could we expect it to predict the future?
The fundamental problem with these gee-whiz policing policies is not solely the technology, but "the lack of transparency and public accountability in deploying crime-targeting tools that could so easily be misused to oppress rather than protect neighborhoods," as the Times opined. I'd take it further. California's law-enforcement agencies are such bastions of secrecy that it makes it hard for the public to trust them as they head off in some innovative directions.
New technologies that pinpoint crime problems and create gang profiles could potentially be useful. They might be better than policies such as gang injunctions that basically case a wide net over entire neighborhoods and restrict the rights of the innocent along with the guilty. But can we trust them?
As a Wired article from last year explained, most departments nationwide use a wide range of Automatic License Plate readers on buildings, signs and patrol cars, thus collecting massive amounts of surveillance data about citizens' every public move. That has helped solve crimes, but police agencies are amazingly secretive about how many cameras are out there, how they use the data and whether any particular tracking might violate a person's constitutional rights.
Wired noted that "Officers misusing law enforcement databases for their own purposes is a perennial problem at the LAPD and elsewhere." That touches on the "trust" problem that is at the heart of any of these controversial systems. Police departments employ thousands of people. Most officers behave honorably, but it's hard to feel confident that police and sheriff's departments, and district attorneys for that matter, do much about those who misuse their vast powers. As always, "sunshine" is the key to accountability, and law enforcement tends to cloak its activities in secrecy.
For instance, this newspaper group is now part of a broad media coalition that will work collaboratively to publish stories about police misconduct by filing a large number of public-information requests under a new law that makes it easier to access such records. Police unions, and some government agencies, have fought the legal release of these important public records under that law. The public would have less reason to be concerned about new surveillance technologies if police agencies were less resistant about conforming to open-government laws.
Consider that California's police-union-friendly Attorney General Xavier Becerra is, as this newspaper explained recently, "threatening legal action against reporters with UC Berkeley's Investigative Reporting Program after they properly obtained spreadsheets with names of police officers, former officers and applicants for policing jobs who have been found guilty of misdeeds including child molestation, bribery and drug trafficking."
One doesn't need a predictive-policing program—or employ a group of mutant savants—to realize that police officers who have been convicted of serious crimes ought not to be trusted with a badge. If California's police agencies want broader public support as they develop futuristic policing techniques, they ought to do a better job earning our trust with the basics.

Are you a confident person? Petris Lapis shares her secrets on becoming more confident and how it can help you succeed.
I have three questions for you:
- What is as closely linked to success as competence?
- Why do some people apply for a job they are only half qualified for?
- Why do some people underestimate their abilities while others overestimate theirs?
The answer to these questions is 'confidence'. People who have more confidence get more promotions, ask for bigger pay increases and seek out more opportunities than their equally competent colleagues. But confidence is hard and something that a lot of people aren't born with—often developing your confidence is much harder than learning the specialised skills you need to complete your job. So, how do you do this?
Fortunately, there are some simple strategies everyone can use to bridge that confidence gap.
#1 'Good enough' is more helpful than perfection. Perfection is an unattainable goal and having worked with perfectionists, it also consumes a lot of time and energy that could have been put to more productive use. When you set the bar at perfectionism, you will not only feel permanently inadequate, but you will also put off doing things you don't believe you can do perfectly (like that promotion or using the new software). When you set your bar at 'good enough', you will still produce high quality output, but you open yourself up to more productive pursuits.
#2 Have different conversations with the voice in your head. That voice inside your head is going to keep on doing its thing, but you can change what you do when it pipes up with its judgements, criticism and negativity. I ask myself, 'Will acting on this commentary help me achieve what I want or help me to live the life I want?' If not, then I thank my mind for the feedback and start taking steps towards the goal I was contemplating anyway. If I keep listening to it, there are days I would never go anywhere. I know the little voice is trying to look out for me and stop me from getting hurt or disappointed. In those moments when it is telling me I won't be able to do something, I tell it to remember Nelson Mandela when he said, 'It always seems impossible until it's done.'
#3 Don't wait until you feel confident, act confident instead. There are plenty of times I have walked in to teach a workshop and I have not felt confident about how things would turn out, but I kept walking in anyway. Dr Seuss spoke of a 'waiting place' full of people who were just waiting until the thing they are waiting for turns up. If you are waiting until you feel confident to do something, you may be stuck in the waiting place (your comfort zone) a long time. The feeling of confidence usually comes after you have gained skills in an area. The only way to gain those skills is to start. If, for example, you don't want to organise an event because you aren't confident you will do it well, there is only one way to build that confidence and get those skills. Take action and start.
#4 Accept that it will feel uncomfortable. When you step outside your comfort zone and do things to challenge yourself, it feels uncomfortable. That is perfectly normal and a natural human reaction. Instead of putting energy into fighting the feeling or avoiding it, notice it, accept it, give it space, take a couple of deep breaths and keep moving forward. If you are feeling uncomfortable because of fear, see if you can channel the fear into forward moving energy. I rowed with a lady who had represented Australia. I asked her what her strategy was for nerves at the start line. She said, 'I push all that nervous energy down into my feet ready for the first push of the race.' She knew she couldn't stop the discomfort, so she channelled it into a useful source of energy.
There are marvellous opportunities waiting for us all when we leave the waiting place and push ourselves. Sometimes we will succeed and sometimes we won't, but we'll learn a lot along the way—that is the journey of a life lived confidently.

text: Hipparchus apparently began observing the heavens in c. 146 B.C.E. in his native town of Nicaea, in Bithynia, and continued to do so in Rhodes until 127 B.C.E. Nothing else is known about his life except the following anecdote: one day, to the amusement of passers-by, he sat in the square wearing a cloak because he had predicted a storm. Hipparchus revitalized Hellenistic astronomy. He invented and used observation instruments and essential conceptual aids such as mathematical tables of the angles subtended by the chords of a circumference and stereographic projection. Of his writings - some of which are mentioned in Claudius Ptolemy's Almagest - we have only the Comment against the phenomena of Aratus and Eudoxus (c. 140 B.C.E.), in which he criticized the imprecise stellar surveys conducted before his time. In c. 129 B.C.E., he pursued the topic by compiling one of the first star catalogues of antiquity, whose data were amalgamated into the similar catalogue of the Almagest. Comparing his stellar positions with those recorded by some of his predecessors, Hipparchus identified the phenomenon of the precession of the equinoxes. His analysis of planetary motion represented the encounter between Babylonian numerical astronomy and Greek geometrical astronomy - i.e., the attempt to combine observational data with the theory of epicycles, already outlined by Apollonius of Perga, in order to establish a rigorous predictive science. Hipparchus was only partly successful in achieving his goal. He explained the unequal lengths of the seasons by assuming that the Sun revolved around the Earth on a fixed eccentric. At the same time, he used an epicyclical model to describe the Moon's zodiacal motion. After estimating the distances of the Sun and Moon from the Earth, he was able, thanks to the new models, to forecast lunar and solar eclipses.

Approved on 20 February 1976.
Vadsø municipality is situated in Finnmark county.
Vadsø's arms and flag were approved by Royal resolution on 20 February 1976
and shows the head of a reindeer stag in silver (arms) or white (flag) on a red
field. Vadsø is the seat of the Finnmark county administration, so the reindeer
head was chosen because it was though representative for the county. Reindeer
keeping is especially important among the Saami population. In addition, the
coat of arms made for the town in 1893 also contained a reindeer head, among
other elements. According to [cjo87], the
reindeer also symbolizes freedom, strength and endurance.
Jan Oskar Engene, 28 April 2002
[cjo87] is somewhat short of flag
information, but from what I understand, there was, probably, no flag in use by
Vadsø before 1976. It is also not clear weather the 1893 coat of arms were in
any way official, even if it is clear that it was used by the municipality in
official circumstances (e.g. on heading of the official writing paper).
That would mean, I guess, it was not approved by the king.
Željko Heimer, 1 May 2002
You are right. Vadsø's 1893 arms were a local creation that did not receive
Royal approval. As far as I know, these arms were not related to a flag, so you
are also correct in saying Vadsø flew no flag before 1976.
Jan Oskar Engene, 2 May 2002
The flag of Vadsø is already reported, so here is coat of arms.

Official blazon in Norwegian: "På rød bunn et hvitt
Blazoned in English: "Gules a reindeer's head couped argent."
English blazon by Joe McMillan, 30 July 2002
The old coat of arms may be see at
Heraldry of the
World from the Coffee Haag albums. A
one but from another source also.
However, this page shows quite different design setting it in 1929 - again with deer's head and bird, but without the red bend and in different attitudes etc.
[c2j87] shows another design in black/white hatches, similar to the first two, but topped with a masoned crown, and captions is as the 1893 arms that was in use until 1976. However, in the text [c2j87] confirm that various representation of elements were known.

I have been away for quite a while. I got quite much stress from doing Youtube videos and I started feel a kind of crippling loneliness. So I needed to have a break from all this, for a while. I have been doing photography quite a lot these days, but now I am finally ready to return to the three dimensional scene.
I will be doing new Youtube videos soon about 3D graphics and new stuff. Please stay tuned and feel free to subscribe to my channel.

Meet Alternateth: A 'Friendly Fork' of the Ethereum Blockchain
One community member holds plans to execute a "friendly fork" of the ethereum blockchain in two months time.
One ethereum community member is about to begin what one might call a "friendly fork" of the ethereum blockchain.
Called "Alternateth," James Hancock, project team lead at ethereum startup ETHSignals, told CoinDesk in interview that he hopes the network will act as "a sister chain" to ethereum validating ideas and proof-of-concepts before adoption on the main chain. The goal is to initiate the split in two months' time.
"For ethereum to be sound money, it needs to be very conservative in making changes," said Hancock. "For ethereum to keep pace with competition it needs to keep making changes. These two ideas are in tension as it is difficult to do both well."
Ethereum is the world's second largest blockchain network by market capitalization. Since launch in 2015, ethereum has witnessed the rise of several other competing smart contract platforms include EOS, Tron, IOST and others. While none come close to matching ethereum's near $30 billion valuation, the proliferation of new technology iterating on ethereum's architecture and structure have fueled further pressure on developers to maintain the network's competitive edge.
As such, Hancock sees Alternateth as a test network of sorts for speeding up development on ethereum mainnet. For example, one of the first features he intends to execute on Alternateth is mining algorithm switch, "Progressive Proof-of-Work" (ProgPoW), which has yet to see mainnet activation on ethereum despite being approved by core developers since early January.
But outside of testing purposes, Hancock also sees Alternateth as a blockchain to support ethereum developers.
Leveraging a block rewards mechanism similar to what is seen on the zcash blockchain, Hancock tells CoinDesk that a portion of mining rewards on Alternateth will be collected into a multi-signature address "comprised of multiple trusted community members."
At present, Hancock is rallying support for this new ethereum blockchain from other developers. In terms of miner support, Hancock purports that some general purpose miners on ethereum are already "ready to mine" the ProgPoW algorithm, which Alternateth will leverage from the outset.
In terms of project fundraising, Hancock emphasized that there is presently no intentions to launch an initial coin offering or pursue alternative avenues for funding.
Rather, Hancock affirmed the project is an entirely volunteer-driven effort that has yet to fully work through all of the nitty gritty details of blockchain code protocol and monetary policy.
The overall vision, however, is clear. Hancock affirmed:
Early stages
For now, the Alternateth initiative is still in very early stages of development, though Hancock asserts he's receiving support privately for now from other unnamed ethereum developers and miners.
"I am getting support on how to execute the fork," said Hancock. "I wouldn't say they are 'working on the project,' at least not for now...I'll let the [developers] announce their own involvement."
To this, ethereum developers and other community stakeholders have been rallying support for various sustainable funding initiatives on the ethereum blockchain.
In fact, the proposal of introducing block rewards on the platform most recently stirred a flurry of controversy in the ethereum community back in April when a working group was created by the founder of crypto bounties platform Gitcoin, Kevin Owocki.
Owocki told CoinDesk in a past interview:
Past conflicts
Agreeing with this sentiment, ethereum core developer Lane Rettig created a GitHub proposal in response for "a better, more explicit governance structure" on ethereum which could take on the task of managing block reward funds.
However, the conversation came to a head when discussions got heated between members of the block rewards working group in April.
Arguing that "public salary discussions" would be one of the many political issues caused by reallocating Ethereum Foundation funds into a new structure of fund management, Spankchain CEO Ameen Soleimani called out Rettig for allegedly requesting a $200,000 salary from the Ethereum Foundation and pushing discussions on block rewards forward for his own personal financial gain.
Rettig rebutted this accusation by stating that he did not request such a salary and that the Ethereum Foundation as a whole "does not give salaries." Hourly pay by the Ethereum Foundation according to Rettig, on the other hand, is "as little as $25 per hour" for senior developers.
Rettig wrote in the working group Telegram group chat:
While Rettig and Soleimani have since returned to amicable relations on social media, the block reward working group – now renamed to "ETH Commons Funding Models" on Telegram – has since quieted down considerably.
At the same time, Hancock, who remains one of the working group members on Telegram, hopes to revive this idea of block rewards, only by applying it to a separate blockchain platform.
Alternateth, Hancock concludes, will be "a friendly fork of ethereum" designed to support and complement the ethereum blockchain, not compete with it.

I am a 50-something European woman doing what I once thought wasn't possible: finding happiness after infertility. While it's been a long, difficult and emotional journey (10 unsuccessful IVF treatments), each day I take another step down the path toward a fulfilling new life. This is my story of reinvention. I will be happy to hear from you: klara.soncek (@ ) gmail.com

To take each day as it comes
I learned some new things in the last few days.
Creatinine is the most specific test for kidney disease. When creatinine is elevated above the normal range (usually 141 µmol/L), this generally means that there is a problem with the kidneys.
Early Renal Insufficiency: In general, creatinine values up to around 177 µmol/L
Moderate Kidney Disease: Values from 177 to 442 µmol/L
Severe Kidney Failure: Values above 442 µmol/L
Wolf's values were 850 µmol/L three days ago and after the treatment 700 µmol/L.
Those tests reminded me on the times when I was on a crazy IVF-roller coaster. When I had tons of different tests. How I always hoped for a miracle to happen, but it never did.
The vet said that based only on tests (without seeing the dog) he would recommend euthanasia. But looking at the dog, he still sees joy and willingness to live. And he has good appetite, which is good. We decided to continue the treatment. The vet said that there is still a hope for him.
I spent the afternoon cuddling him, sitting with him and reading. It was lovely to be with him.
We decided to take each day as it comes. To enjoy every moment with him that we can.

Your love alone will channel healing comfort. Give him a nuzzle from us...ReplyDelete
I am so sorry to hear the diagnosis. As Pamela said, your love will bring him comfort and you will shepherd him through his journey with love and tenderness. I continue to wrap you and Wolf in prayer, warmth and light as you walk these days together.
Oh Klara, I'm so sad to read this news. As a person who works with dogs I know how precious they are, a real family member. Your love for him shines through and he is lucky to have you.ReplyDelete
Cherish each day with Wolf- Stay in the present, don't think about past or future. *HUGS*ReplyDelete
dear girls,ReplyDelete
thanks for the kind comments.
We spent whole day with the Wolf.
It was beautiful & sad at the same time.
I won't be blogging for another few days (hopefully weeks), I want to spend as much time with him as I can.
today's value: 570. The Wolf is improving.ReplyDelete
He might get better, the vet said today.
Hang in there! We had a puppy that we were told to "put to sleep" at 3 months old because of kidney failure/underdeveloped kidneys. We got a second opinion, and that vet gave him 12-18 months to live. Our Onslo lived a very happy eight years. Never underestimate how your care and love can encourage our fur friends to be strong and happy. Take care of you (and DH & especially Wolf...)ReplyDelete
I'm GLAD to know he's improving. He's a lucky pet to have owners like you and hubby.ReplyDelete

What was the biggest event of 2014? Was it the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shootdown, the ISIL offensive, the airstrikes by the United States and its Arab allies on Syria, or the Ebola virus outbreak? Or was it something else?
In a year where the world's population reached 7.28 billion, Gregorian Year MMXIV has revealed perhaps more hype, fear, drama and tragedy than we're used to seeing, certainly in comparison of world events with the previous two years. Perhaps in terms of enormity the following ten events can be considered (in reverse 'countdown' order of importance) the biggest, most memorable:
NUMBER TEN – Legalisation of Euthanasia in Belgium
Not unlike the legal reforms on the same-sex marriage debate, in terms of ethical weight, the legalisation of euthanasia in Belgium for terminally ill patients of any age comes into effect on February 13.
NUMBER NINE – Chibok School, Nigeria, Kidnapping of 300 girls
Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist organisation, claims responsibility for the abduction and kidnap of 276 female students on the night of April 14-15. There is a social media campaign started worldwide (#BringBackOurGirls) that reached 2.3 million tweets, but, as yet, there has been no major breakthrough on this tragic event.
NUMBER EIGHT – Climate Change Report
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases its final Fifth Assessment and concludes that the world faces "severe, pervasive, and irreversible" damage from global emissions russia ukraine news of CO2. And the world's governments continue to disagree with one another on what the world response should be.
NUMBER SEVEN – Threat of Poliomyelitis
The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies the spread of poliomyelitis in at least ten countries to be a major worldwide health emergency.
NUMBER SIX – Israel and Hamas Standoff
For a seven-week period in June and July tensions rose between Israel and Palestinian Hamas, the product of which 2,100 Palestinians and 71 Israelis die, including a ground offensive into Gaza by Israel.
NUMBER FIVE – MH370 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Disappears
A mystery consuming billions of dollars, and generating ongoing anguish in family members left ambiguously behind, the March 8 disappearance of the Boeing 777 airliner is perplexing. It is assumed to have disappeared between the Gulf of Thailand and the Indian Ocean.
NUMBER FOUR – Russian Situation Involving the Ukraine and Crimea
The annexation of Crimea implicates sanctions against Russia and the temporary suspension of Russia from the G8. The United Nations General Assembly, via a resolution, rejects the annexation and calls Crimea part of the Ukraine. This all comes after the Sochi Winter Olympic Games held in Russia during February 7-23.
NUMBER THREE – Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
This February outbreak which has the whole world's continued attention has infected nearly 20,000 and killed 6,000; the most ever in modern terms of infections and casualties. Most countries around the world institute preventive and corrective policies at airports, border crossings and seaports.
NUMBER TWO – MH17 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 Shootdown Over Ukraine
On July 17 the world wakes to breaking news of a commercial airliner (Boeing 777) that is shotdown over the Ukraine by a Russian missile. 298 people perish. Days later the United Nations Security Council issue Resolution 2166 in response to the shootdown. A major international recovery effort and a Dutch investigation ensue.

As the 1950s continued, Reid Miles moved to Blue Note and continued to work with Warhol on some projects. Perhaps as a precursor to the gorgeous photographic covers that were to come at Blue Note, Warhol and Reid chose to do sketches for the covers. The first were for guitarist Kenny Burrell.
In 1956, Blue Note went to a 12″ format for its releases. This Burrell album is the first in that new size. Warhol and Reid chose a photograph of the guitarist's hands most likely taken by Blue Note's founder, Francis Wolff. Warhol did the sketch and signed his work which can be seen on the cover.
The second Burrell album cover, is a free form sketch that Warhol did. A double volume, the figure remained the same but the background color differed. This time no photograph was used, however drawing from photographs, interpreting them or using them for inspiration, continued to be a "thing" or a device that Reid and Warhol relied on.
This J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding album cover (below right) was inspired by a photo of an 8th century drawing of King David surrounded by musicians (below left). Like any great artist, Warhol was a genius at"borrowing" ideas and making them current.
April 23rd is International Record Store Day, we hope to catch you in the aisles, browsing and supporting your local store! Next time we'll look at another artist and his hand drawn album cover, Miles Davis.

The JEOPARDY! Final question for April 23, 2013 was: North America's 3 mainland countries have a total of 91 states & provinces; Mexico has this many states.
You have 30 seconds.
I should note that only one of the contestants got this right.
Scores at the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round: Michael $21,800 , Laurel $22,400, Bill $8,700. But Michael and Laurel both bet big ($19,598 and $21,600, respectively), and guess incorrectly, while Bill bet it all, and got it right.
(BTW, Michael's bet was totally irrational.)
Alas, I also got it wrong, because even though the question clearly said provinces, I added the territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) to my Canadian count, which made it 13, rather than the 10 provinces. So the correct response was 91 -50 US states -10 Canadian provinces=31 Mexican states.
Rank-Name-Total area (km2)-Percentage of national total area
1 Nunavut 2,093,190 (21.0%)
2 Quebec 1,542,056 (15.4%)
3 Northwest Territories 1,346,106 (13.5%)
4 Ontario 1,076,395 (10.8%)
5 British Columbia 944,735 (9.5%)
6 Alberta 661,848 (6.6%)
7 Saskatchewan 651,036 (6.5%)
8 Manitoba 647,797 (6.5%)
9 Yukon 482,443 (4.8%)*
10 Newfoundland and Labrador 405,212 (4.1%)
11 New Brunswick 72,908 (0.7%)
12 Nova Scotia 55,284 (0.6%)
13 Prince Edward Island 5,660 (0.1%)
Total: Canada 9,984,670 (100.0%)
What I realized is that I was thinking like someone from the United States. The places called territories of the US are small, islands, most of which (Guam, e. g.) are very far away. Even the commonwealth of Puerto Rico is larger only than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island.
Whereas the three territories of Canada compromise nearly 40% of the land and are attached to the provinces.
And "territory" means something else in Canadian parlance: "The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces are jurisdictions that receive their power and authority directly from the Constitution Act, 1867, whereas territories derive their mandates and powers from the federal government. In modern Canadian constitutional theory, the provinces are considered to be co-sovereign divisions, and each province has its own "Crown" represented by the lieutenant governor, whereas the territories are not sovereign, but simply parts of the federal realm, and have a commissioner." I don't EXACTLY know what that means, although it vaguely reminds me of Washington, DC, which has a mayor and local government, but no full member of Congress.
Anyway, Happy Canada Day, and here's to the very crooked border between the US and Canada.

DIFFERENT TREATMENT METHODS for type 2 diabetes such as bariatric surgery should be examined more in Ireland, according to the Irish Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (IrSPEN).
Today is World Diabetes Day and IrSPEN has said it wants further consideration from the HSE into different treatment methods for type 2 diabetes. IrSPEN is an organisation of health professionals that focuses on nutritional problems.
Spokesperson for the group and professor at University College Dublin Carel le Roux said advances in medicine and research have resulted in a high chance of sending type 2 diabetes into remission through targeted treatment.
"In the last five years, several studies have shown that we can reverse the disease," le Roux told TheJournal.ie. "What we want to do now is treat diabetes the way we treat cancer."
More than 200,000 people have type 2 diabetes in Ireland, the more common of the two types of the disease. The group wants the HSE to further evaluate the treatment options based on the evidence available at the moment through trials and studies.
Evidence shows that 70% of people with type 2 diabetes go into remission if they lose 15% of their total body weight, the IrSPEN said.
Le Roux said it "doesn't matter" how the weight is lost and he believes surgery is the most effective way to quickly send the disease into remission. This weight loss can be achieved through surgery in 90% of people, medication in 30% and diet in 20%, le Roux claimed.
Bariatric surgery is used to help obese people to lose a significant amount of weight. For three-quarters of obese patients who have type 2 diabetes, this surgery sends the disease into remission.
The surgery restricts the intake of food and disrupts the digestive system to stop some calories and nutrients from being absorbed.
Fewer than one in 100,000 people in Ireland get bariatric surgery, compared with 70 in every 100,000 in Sweden and France.
Future change
Le Roux said the group's strategy to target type 2 diabetes would be through working with the charity Diabetes Ireland along with clinical advisory groups for obesity.
"I think the concern for the HSE is that the problem is so vast, they worry that the cost will be enormous," he said. "However, we can target a small number of people to put them into remission… it would be a quite targeted approach."
"We as doctors haven't done a good enough job to advocate for our patients," said le Roux.
The HSE currently advises treatment for type 2 diabetes through having good health, regular exercise and weight loss for those who are overweight or obese. The HSE also offers guidance on monitoring blood glucose levels, different medicine options and insulin treatment.
There is currently no mention of surgical treatment methods for type 2 diabetes on the website.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health said: "The department has noted the comments and will engage with the HSE."
The HSE was unable to respond with comment in time for publication.

text: The magazine "Rolling Stone" asked GARY BUSEY to make an ASMR video. If you don't know what an ASMR they're really popular on YouTube now. People just make soft, soothing sounds that are supposed to give you a relaxed, tingly sensation. Well that did NOT happen here. Instead, Gary decided to just ramble off tips for getting to sleep. Listen to him talk about tapes of sounds (what year is it again?) and how the word NAP has a special meaning behind it. You might learn something about yourself, or you might sleep better. But these "tips" are more likely to keep you up all night wondering what the heck you just watched.

We were thrilled when the editors of Traditional Home popped in for lunch at my home in Connecticut, Foxglove Meadow. This quote from the article sums up why I do what I do!
"It's been such a joy to have a garden. There's something about connecting with the changing seasons and the natural elements in life. I get so much pleasure from watching tiny seeds grow into something beautiful. It's a similar process when I imagine my tabletop accessories and then am able to put them to use when I entertain. It is such a great metaphor for life. There's always something new, and tomorrow is another day. It never gets old."

I-502 helps put (WA) drug dog out of work
Published on 1/7/14
ELMA, Wash. -- The legalization of marijuana in Washington state prompted Elma's police chief to lay off the city's drug detection dog last month.
Police Chief Jeff Troumbley also said the rising costs for caring for Riggs the K-9 officer caused him to eliminate the position.
Riggs was trained to alert officers when he smells one of five drugs: marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.
Since Riggs cannot tell the difference between marijuana and the other drugs, Troumbley said the dog was not as effective as he was before voters passed Initiative 502.
Before I-502 if Riggs smelled one of those drugs in a car, police were able to use his alert to get a search warrant. Now police need other evidence to obtain a warrant.
"With the changes I couldn't justify the expense of what we were getting out of the drug team," said Troumbley.
Riggs' partner at Elma police is now his owner.
"I don't think he's ready to retire yet," said Officer Josh Wheeler, who said he wishes Riggs was still with him out on patrol. "Let him do what he's trained to do."
