Retrieve your defensive daggersAfter defending yourself against a Zombie with a dagger, when he stands back up, blow off his head with the shotgun. If you remove the head, the dagger should be back on the ground next to the corpse.
Game Cube stationsThe MO disk passcode entry stations are black Game Cubes.
Unlimited grenade ammunitionThis trick only works with Jill, since she is the only one who gets the Grenade Launcher. You must have one of any type of extra shell. Have the Grenade Launcher armed, loaded, and with an extra set of shells in the inventory. Approach an item box and open it. Insert the extra shells in the first slot (which first highlights red). Then, immediately switch them directly with the Grenade Launcher. By doing this, the shells that were originally in the Grenade Launcher were transferred into the box, and the ones in the box are now in the Grenade Launcher, with a number of about 220 to 450. Switch the other shells the same way, and you will not need the pistol, knife, or shotguns for the remainder of the game.
Find an item box and dump your entire inventory into it. Next, place the Grenade Launcher in the upper-left item slot and your Incendiary Rounds in the upper-right item slot. Then, equip the Grenade Launcher. Go back to the item box, highlight the Incendiary Rounds in your inventory, and press A, A. Then, go over to the Incendiary Rounds (which should be in the item box) and press A, A. If done correctly, you should have 240 Incendiary Rounds.
After you have completed the Rocket Launcher glitch to get more grenades, continue press A, alternating Grenade Ammo. Switch out and it will fill the rest of your inventory with about 200 rounds for each unused space.
Defeating TyrantIn part one, use the Magnum. In part two, just shoot and wait for the rocket launcher.
Defeating enemiesCerebreus: If in groups, use the shotgun and take them all out at one time. Crimsom Heads: Use the same tactics as zombies, except if they charge at you, duck in a door. Hunter: One acid shell to the face. Wait until they are right on you and fire. Sharks, Snakes, Birds, Bees: Ignore them Spiders: Use six shots of the pistol. Zombie: Use the magnum for an 80% chance of deception. Otherwise, use the pistol or shotgun.
Continuous rhinoceros beetlesIn the area of the mansion where the fountain is drained to reveal the entrance to the lab, go to the right side of it. Look at one of the trees on the right side of the screen. There will be a very detailed rhinoceros beetle that climbs slowly off-screen. The beetle will reappear every time you exit, then reenter that particular camera view.
Saving ammunitionConserving ammunition is an essential part of the game, especially under the normal or hard difficulty settings. Do not use the Magnum. Save it for the Tyrant. The Magnum cannot kill Lisa Trevor, and bullets for it are impossible to find. Conserve the magnum's Ammunition for the final battle. Zombies: Only kill Zombies if they are blocking a pathway or door that you need to get through. If you can avoid a Zombie, do so by all means. You may regret it later if you waste much needed handgun bullets at the start of the game. If a Zombie falls to the floor after you have shot it, equip the knife to finish it off while it is still in that position. If you do not kill too many Zombies, then you will not encounter pesky Crimsons. Crimson Heads: Since Crimsons can run as fast, or sometimes even faster than you, it is vital to think quickly in these situations. If you are in a hall as a Crimson is running at you, shoot it with a powerful weapon (shotgun and grenade launcher recommended). If you have a shotgun, the best thing to do is aim upwards. Shoot when the crimson is about a foot away from you to blow its head off with one or two shells. If you are in a large room with corners, stay in a corner. As the Crimson nears, dash out of the corner. The Crimson should be stuck in the corner, confused. Then either run or use the shotgun to finish it off with a head shot. Hunters and Chimeras: These enemies are much more intelligent and efficient than Crimsons or Zombies. Keep a good distance from them, as they will rip your head off or jump on you and drain a lot of health. An Acid round to the face works the best. The shotgun also does well. Head shots help conserve the most ammunition. Crows, Bees, Small snakes, Leeches, Dogs: Avoid them. If you really want to kill them, the handgun works best, especially when you are further in the game. Since you do not need the handgun near the end, it is best used when you need to kill these pesky creatures.
Saving keroseneIf there is more than one zombie in a room and you plan on killing them, space yourself from them and kill one. Next, kill the second one so it falls directly on the one that was killed. Then, use your Kerosene. Both zombies will be burned. Note: This work on as many zombies you can possibly stack.
HerbsGreen Herb: By itself, it raises your health one level. For example, Caution to Fine or Danger to Caution. Red Herb: By itself, it does nothing. Blue Herb: By itself, it heals poison that has been inflicted by snakes, spiders, etc. Green + Green: This combination raises your health by two levels. Green + Red: This is the equivalent of a First Aid Spray. It always brings your helath to Fine. Green + Blue: This raises your health one class, and heals poison.
Alternate Jill scenesWhen the game puts you and Barry in the dining room, wait until Barry sees the blood, then run back to the hall where Wesker is located. Wesker will tell you to " Investigate shots if heard". You will then be put back in the dining room. Try to go back in the hall and Barry will say "Cold feet already Jill? That's not like you.". When you try to walk to Barry, a alternate beginning sequence will appear. There is a different arrangement of scenes that happens from the usual when you start a new game as Jill. After the "Cold feet" comment as described above, you will resume control of Jill. Go up to the fireplace where Barry is located. The game go through as normal saying, "'It's blood, let's hope it's not Chris'. Investigate the room for clues while I look at this." Have Jill go by the left side of the dining table (towards the clock) and a new intermission sequence will start. Perspective, from side door (Door knob turns) Jill - "Who's there?" (Door slams open and a zombie comes through and sees Jill.) (Jill backs away as the zombie follows her,) Barry - "Hey you! Get away from Jill!" "This guy is crazy!" (Barry takes two shots and kills the zombie.) Barry - "What the hell is this thing?" (This is Jill's line when it is done the normal way) In the original PlayStation version of the game, this trick would make you able to take down zombies in three gunshots, but apparently it will not in the Gamecube version.
Incinerating ZombiesThere are two ways to incinerate (burn) Zombies. If you have the lighter (one of Chris's initial items or found by Jill throughout the course of the game), and a fuel tank with some kerosene, you may burn Zombies that you have killed. If the Zombies have already turned into Crimsons (if they are all red or if you have killed them thirty minutes to one hour ago), then you cannot burn them. Another way to incinerate Zombies is to use the Incendiary rounds for the Grenade Launcher (Jill only). If you encounter a Zombie, shoot it with an incendiary round to immediately burn it to a crisp. If you have killed the Zombie by other means and it is already dead, you can still use the incendiary rounds to burn it.
Defeating Black Tiger (big spider)Use your strongest weapon. If playing as Chris, use the flamethrower then torch the babies. Alternately, use this easier trick that also saves ammunition. When you fight Black Tiger, there is a smaller spider behind it. Just focus on killing the big one, and forget about the babies and the normal spider by getting out of the room. Every spider will disappear when you return.
Defeating Crimson Head Elder (Sir Trevor)Three blasts from the grenade launcher or six from the shotgun will kill him.
Defeating Lisa TrevorIn the first encounter, you can choose to not fight her as she can kill you in three hits. If you choose to fight, use the shotgun. In the final encounter, push all of the rocks off the cliff. If she approaches you, run away.
Defeating NeptunePush the electric box in the water and turn the power on to the box.
Defeating Plant 42Mix up the J-Vot and use it in the water tank to dissolve it.
Defeating the SnakeUse the grenade launcher with any type of shells. Otherwise, use the shotgun.
Getting past the SnakeWhen you get in the room with the Snake, run to the back of the room, pick up the mask, and run back to the door that you just came through.
Avoid fighting Tyrant the second timeIf you do not rescue either Barry or Rebecca (depending on which character you are playing), you do not have to fight the Tyrant the second time on the helicopter landing zone. To do this, either allow Lisa Trevor to knock Barry down the cliff while fighting the final battle, or do not rescue Rebecca when you hear her scream in the Spencer Emblem room. When you get to the helicopter landing zone, you will simply be picked up immediately after you set off the flares.
Automatic 250 Gernade AmmoSent in by Will First equip the grenade launcher. Next, go to an item box and take out the incendiary rounds. Exit the screen. Immediately re-open the item box. Place the rounds back into to the box immediately. Do not scroll. Finally highlight the rounds on the item screen and press A. It should jump to the grenade launcher. When it does press A again to receive 250 incendiary rounds.
Ending bonusesSuccessfully complete the game as Jill or Chris and save the game. A new background will appear on the main menu. Select the "Once Again" option when playing your completed saved game. You may now choose new difficulty settings for the replay. You will also get a key that will allow the character that completed the game to have a new costume. Enter the room with the large mirror on the second floor of the mansion. Unlock the door in the back. Enter the closet and move all the way to the end of the rack of clothes. A message asking "There is an outfit that fits you perfectly, do you want to put it on?" will appear. Select "Yes" to change your character's clothes. Complete the game again under a different difficulty setting to unlock a second costume. Jill's bonus costumes are a commando uniform and her costume from Resident Evil 3. Chris' bonus costumes are casual clothes and his costume from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Successfully complete the game as Jill or Chris with a time less than five hours. Save the game at the end, then start a new game to begin with the Samurai Edge gun. Successfully complete the game as Jill or Chris with a time less than three hours. Save the game at the end, then start a new game to begin with the Rocket Launcher with unlimited ammunition. Successfully complete the game in once again mode under the normal difficulty setting with a time less than five hours. This unlocks the "Real Survivor" option (item boxes do not transfer items to each other), the .40 Smith And Wesson gun with unlimited ammunition (replaces the combat knife in a new game), and bonus costumes. Additionally, the aiming system will be manual. Successfully complete the game two times as Jill or Chris to unlock the "Invisible Enemy" option. All enemies will be transparent in this mode. Successfully complete the game as both Jill and Chris one time to unlock the "One Dangerous Zombie" option. When this option is enabled, some zombies will end the game if shot and will keep following you around during the game. Successfully complete the game in invisible enemy mode with a time less than five hours to unlock a "Special Features" option that displays a message from the game developers and a gallery of pre-production costumes.
Checking ZombiesOne way to see if A zombie is dead is to face away from it and press R. You should automatically turn around to face the Zombie if it is still alive.
To make sure that a Zombie has died when it falls down after shooting it, look down. If you see a pool of blood flowing, it is dead. If there is no pool of blood, the Zombie is still alive.
If you are not sure if a zombie is dead, walk up fairly close to it (but not so close that they start chewing your ankles) and simply back up. If the Zombie is alive, the character will do a wary backup move instead of the standard backup done when there is nothing there.

New Delhi,jul 18:
The government on Wednesday decided to increase the minimum price sugar mills pay to cane growers by Rs 20 per quintal to Rs 275 per quintal for the next marketing year starting October, sources said.
The decision to increase the Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of sugarcane for the 2018-19 marketing year was taken by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), they added.
The government had recently announced a sharp increase in the minimum support price (MSP) of kharif (summer-sown) crops, including paddy.
The Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) had recommended Rs 20 per quintal hike in the FRP of sugarcane at Rs 275 per quintal for the next season. The FRP, which is the minimum price that sugar mills have to pay to sugarcane farmers, is Rs 255 per quintal for the 2017-18 season.
The CACP is a statutory body that advises the government on the pricing policy for major farm produce. Usually, the government accepts the CACP recommendations.Pradhan also informed that the Cabinet has approved changes to the production sharing contract (PSC) under NELP. This would mean simplified PSCs for pre-NELP and NELP oil fields. The price of gases discovered from these blocks will be linked to market prices, Pradhan said.
Special remission was also announced for prisoners in jails. It is applicable for female convicts & transgenders above 55 years of age & having served 50% of sentence, men above 60 years and having served 50% of sentence, disabled who are 70% handicapped & served 50% sentence plus who have served 2/3rd sentence
At present, the FRP price is linked to a basic recovery rate of 9.5 per cent, subject to a premium of Rs 2.68 per quintal for every 0.1 per cent point increase in recovery rate.
The increase is also likely to result in states like Uttar Pradesh, which do not follow the centrally-announced FRP, raising their own advisory prices. Major sugarcane producing states such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana fix their own sugarcane price called 'state advisory prices' (SAPs), which are usually higher than the Centre's FRP.
India's sugar production is estimated to rise by 10 per cent to touch a new record of 35.5 million tonnes in the next marketing year, starting October as cane output could rise on normal rains, according to the industry body ISMA.
Sugar production in India, the world's second largest producer after Brazil, is estimated to reach a record 32.25 million tonnes in the current 2017-18 marketing year (October-September).
Govt hikes sugarcane price by Rs 20 per quintal to Rs 275

Cornish electronic veteran Luke Vibert has been known to don numerous guises throughout his celebrated career, namely the 303 mutilations under his own name, IDM / DnB hybrids as Plug or the slew of releases on Ninja Tune as Wagon Christ; yet the oddball disco output of his Kerrier District project remains one of the most lauded and least utilised. Teaming up with Hypercolour for 2nd full-length release '4' since the 2004 self-titled Rephlex debut, Vibert again sets his working knowledge of analogue hardware into a cheeky disco mould, underpinned by infectious, squelching basslines and genious sampling, all of which never takes it's eyes off the dance floor.
Opener 'Discogram' leads off with a plodding groove, chased by the topsy-tervy melody of 'It's The Disco' and 'Techno Disco', which gives Inner City's classic 'Good Life' the trademark Vibert treatment. The synths start bubblin' on 'London Grooves' and 'Funky Train', both of which beg not to be taken too seriously and are laced with the type of groove that'll keep them dancing until the early hours; as is 'Brush The Bush' with its slick piano chords that ooze class. The tempo and temperatures continue to soar towards the end of the collection, building from the sizzling, cow-bell bomb 'Disclone' to clipped, live drum sampling on 'Discuntek' before erupting on the party-starting apex of 'Sexspurt'. Jumped up, funked out, cheesy synth textures cook around a soulful female vocal on closing piece 'Come On Kerrier', again demonstrating Vibert's uncanny ability of putting his own slant on any genre he sees fit.

October 24, 1993
Many times in Scripture, the Spirit may make only one obvious reference to a point, even though the law
established in the one mention of that point is in continual operation throughout history. If that one mention is
quickly read, the implication of the point may be missed. But when the implications of that point are
developed, the root cause of many serious problems can be revealed and dealt with.
There are many such short statements scattered throughout the Word of God. The Books of Psalms and Proverbs have an abundance of these short, concise statements that many times are quickly glanced over, e.g. Pro 8:36. There is such a statement in the Book of Proverbs that, when its implications are understood, will help us understand what we see around us in the current perversion of justice: Pro 17:15, He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. [Justifieth, declare righteous BDB, p 842. Wicked, one guilty of crime, deserving punishment BDB, 957 Condemneth, condemns as guilty, in civil relations, BDB, 957.Just, just in one's cause, right, BDB, 843.]
Even a superficial reading of this verse tells us that, basically, justice is reversed, the judicial system is dissolved. The wicked person deserving punishment is justified, avoiding punishment. Conversely, the just, who is Biblically correct in his actions, is found guilty in civil relations. Thus he is punished as though he were wicked. The wise man could not have better described the total reverse of justice now evident in our judicial system.
No doubt all who read this will agree that justice is now, more often than not, reversed so that the just person is condemned and the wickedperson justified.
But we should not read this passage superficially any more than we should read any other passage superficially. Notice two points about the Spirit's words:
First, the order of the wording. The Spirit does not make mistakes as He orders His words, so notice who is mentioned first: those who justify the wicked (deserving punishment). Then the Spirit mentions those who find the just guilty.
Second, the common judgment. God holds both classes of persons equally guilty before Himself with the word and. Both people are an abomination to the Lord.
The logical conclusion, then, is that justifying the wicked, not only is equal to, but, by being listed first, actually leads to the condemnation of the just.
Let me illustrate:
It is surprising how much evil can be justified and how much the Word of God can be quietly compromised (unknown to the average listener) to "protect the guilty," if the guilty party is a good giver!
Furthermore, I know of pastors who have gone to great length to justify evil in their own children, especially if they have church schools. I have been told of pastors who, when confronted with their children's evil activities deserving punishment, refused to believe and/or act upon the reported evil activity. (Of course, this lack of action against evil includes lack of action against the evil deeds of "important people's" children in the school.)
Church schools offer ideal situations for justifying the wicked, e.g.,school standards are established, yet they are not enforced consistently. I found this to be a problem here years ago: kids in the school carried on like the heathens they were, but I was prohibited by the "board" from enforcing the school's standard against the boys' wickedness. We no longer have the school or the "board."
Thus the pastor (& church "leaders") justifieth the wicked, especially if it is his own children.
Church Members:
How many church members have had the Spirit point out wickedness (defined as violation of God's word, Pro 28:13, 14; 1 Jn 3:4 & Ja 4:17) in their lives as they heard the preaching of the law-word of God? Upon hearing, they might even admit to the Spirit's revelation, but they cling to any hope to justify their evil; they refuse to face facts which require responsible action.
How many justify in their own hearts their cold indifference to the command-word of God: they cannot pray, read their Bible; tithe; be faithful to a local, Bible-believing and teaching assembly; recognize and live by the Sovereignty of God in every area, &c.? The church member justifieth the wickedness lurking in his own heart while he says "Amen" in the pew.
The average person:
Anyone who has talked to or been around other parents has found a common trait of refusing to condemn the wicked and demanding just punishment for evil deeds in them.
We all know of parents who, out of misunderstood love, justify evil actions of their children. (Do we justify evil?) According to Scripture, un-Biblical deeds of children deserve retribution, but the parents will use almost anything to justify their children's immorality, anger, rebellion, disobedience, &c. The parents may even continue to support their children in their on-going practice of immorality and wickedness of all kinds. (I know of one set of parents who provided a house for their daughter and her boyfriend in which to practice their fornication ["live together"].)
Parents justifieth the wicked deeds of their children.
Though the above illustrations centered around children (kids will be kids, or even, I don't what my child to miss out on "fun" while they are young), the practice of justifying wickedness on a personal level permeates every area of thought and action.
Observe the second part of this passage:
Pro 17:15, He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
Condemneth the just... The judge or magistrate is to be a minister of God to thee for good, Rom 13:4. Obviously, justice at the end of the 20th Century is seriously transposed, viz., the magistrate is now, by and large, a minister of evil to the just and a minister of good to the wicked. According to the Word of God, the judge or magistrate is always to render just, righteous judgment according to God's law.
Furthermore, it goes without saying that modern "justice" has no consistency whatsoever. The wickedness of one person may be justified, while, on the other hand, the same type of wickedness of another is sorely punished. There is now no justice for anyone, whether they are guilty or not.
The law of God exposes the problem, Ex 23:1-8:
First, vv. 1-3, proper justice is commanded; second, vv. 4, 5, proper actions toward thine enemy is commanded third vv. 6-8, proper justice is reiterated.
Thus located between two passages commanding and explaining proper judgment (proper justice condemns the wicked, justifies the just), is a passage concerning godly action toward an enemy.
The connection is obvious, viz., can we expect proper actions toward us as individuals from the judge or magistrate if we fail to exhibit proper actions toward an enemy? (Careful, do not read more into vv. 4 & 5 than is present, but that is not our study at this time.)
Are there people, even within the community of faith, that we are at odds with and we would avoid obeying vv. 4 & 5 toward? Does not the Lord promise that we will reap what we sow, Gal 6:7?
Ex 23 implies that we will reap from the judge what we sow toward our enemy. Therefore, if we harbor anger, bitterness and hatred toward someone (especially a brother in the faith), we can fully expect the same anger, bitterness and hatred toward us from a civil magistrate.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 9) Do we rail against our fellow man when Michael refused to rail even against the devil? When we rail against others, no matter who they are or what they have done, we can expect to receive railing back from others, e.g., the magistrate.
The Word of God
The immediate cause for abolishing Israel's Theocracy was Samuel's justification of the wickedness of his own house, 1 Sam 8:1-5. (Certainly, the Lord told Samuel that the actual reason for the people's desire for a king was their rejection of the Lord as their King. But how much of the people's rebellion against the rule of God was brought about by Samuel's rebellion against the rule of God in his own family?)
Ahab's house was destroyed because the just man, Naboth, was condemned, 1 Kg 21:19. But when we read closely the passage, we must not overlook the fact that the men of the city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, v. 11. Jezebel found a ready and willing populace to do her evil bidding to condemn the just.
John 7:24, the Lord clearly told us to judge righteous judgment. Righteous judgment involves proper action toward our enemy, toward thewicked and toward the just.
Furthermore, it is very important to note that when the Word of God is rejected by men (both inside and outside the "church"), the natural result is justification of the wicked, John 18:40.
Society's perversion of justice is so obvious and prevalent that it hardly needs illustration. What we must do, though, is see that what persists among the body of Christ, the church, will eventually find its way to the civil magistrate. If there is no justice for our enemy according to the Word of God, if there is no justice for the wickedness in our lives and homes according to the Word of God, then we are assured by the Word of God that the righteous will be condemned by the civil magistrate.
If justice according to God's law-word is lacking among professed Christians, what can we expect from the pagan judges?
But on the other hand, when the church again seeks after justice, starting in its own house, the civil judicial system will return to justice. The return of civil justice will be a long, slow, arduous process because its corruption did not develop overnight. But every one can work toward its correction by starting at the personal level.
1 Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin] at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Road, South Kensington, London._ ANNIE BESANT. 1885]
It is a difficult thing to tell the story of a life, and yet more
difficult when that life is one's own. At the best, the telling has a
savour of vanity, and the only excuse for the proceeding is that the
life, being an average one, reflects many others, and in troublous
times like ours may give the experience of many rather than of one.
And so the autobiographer does his work because he thinks that, at the
cost of some unpleasantness to himself, he may throw light on some of
the typical problems that are vexing the souls of his contemporaries,
and perchance may stretch out a helping hand to some brother who is
struggling in the darkness, and so bring him cheer when despair has
him in its grip. Since all of us, men and women of this restless and
eager generation--surrounded by forces we dimly see but cannot as yet
understand, discontented with old ideas and half afraid of new, greedy
for the material results of the knowledge brought us by Science but
looking askance at her agnosticism as regards the soul, fearful of
superstition but still more fearful of atheism, turning from the husks
of outgrown creeds but filled with desperate hunger for spiritual
ideals--since all of us have the same anxieties, the same griefs, the
same yearning hopes, the same passionate desire for knowledge, it may
well be that the story of one may help all, and that the tale of one
should that went out alone into the darkness and on the other side
found light, that struggled through the Storm and on the other side
found Peace, may bring some ray of light and of peace into the
darkness and the storm of other lives.

On October 1, 1847, I am credibly informed, my baby eyes opened to the
light(?) of a London afternoon at 5.39.
A friendly astrologer has drawn for me the following chart, showing the
position of the planets at this, to me fateful, moment; but I know
nothing of astrology, so feel no wiser as I gaze upon my horoscope.
Keeping in view the way in which sun, moon, and planets influence the
physical condition of the earth, there is nothing incongruous with the
orderly course of nature in the view that they also influence the
physical bodies of men, these being part of the physical earth, and
largely moulded by its conditions. Any one who knows the
characteristics ascribed to those who are born under the several signs
of the Zodiac, may very easily pick out the different types among his
own acquaintances, and he may then get them to go to some astrologer
and find out under what signs they were severally born. He will very
quickly discover that two men of completely opposed types are not born
under the same sign, and the invariability of the concurrence will
convince him that law, and not chance, is at work. We are born into
earthly life under certain conditions, just as we were physically
affected by them pre-natally, and these will have their bearing on our
subsequent physical evolution. At the most, astrology, as it is now
practised, can only calculate the interaction between these physical
conditions at any given moment, and the conditions brought to them by a
given person whose general constitution and natal condition are known.
It cannot say what the person will do, nor what will happen to him, but
only what will be the physical district, so to speak, in which he will
find himself, and the impulses that will play upon him from external
nature and from his own body. Even on those matters modern astrology is
not quite reliable--judging from the many blunders made--or else its
professors are very badly instructed; but that there is a real science
of astrology I have no doubt, and there are some men who are past
masters in it.
[Illustration: Horoscope of Annie Besant.]
It has always been somewhat of a grievance to me that I was born in
London, "within the sound of Bow Bells," when three-quarters of my
blood and all my heart are Irish. My dear mother was of purest Irish
descent, and my father was Irish on his mother's side, though belonging
to the Devonshire Woods on his father's. The Woods were yeomen of the
sturdy English type, farming their own land in honest, independent
fashion. Of late years they seem to have developed more in the
direction of brains, from the time, in fact, that Matthew Wood became
Mayor of London town, fought Queen Caroline's battles against her most
religious and gracious royal husband, aided the Duke of Kent with no
niggard hand, and received a baronetcy for his services from the Duke
of Kent's royal daughter. Since then they have given England a Lord
Chancellor in the person of the gentle-hearted and pure-living Lord
Hatherley, while others have distinguished themselves in various ways
in the service of their country. But I feel playfully inclined to
grudge the English blood they put into my father's veins, with his
Irish mother, his Galway birth, and his Trinity College, Dublin,
education. For the Irish tongue is musical in my ear, and the Irish
nature dear to my heart. Only in Ireland is it that if you stop to ask
a worn-out ragged woman the way to some old monument, she will say:
"Sure, then, my darlin', it's just up the hill and round the corner,
and then any one will tell you the way. And it's there you'll see the
place where the blessed Saint Patrick set his foot, and his blessing be
on yer." Old women as poor as she in other nations would never be as
bright and as friendly and as garrulous. And where, out of Ireland,
will you see a whole town crowd into a station to say good-bye to half
a dozen emigrants, till the platform is a heaving mass of men and
women, struggling, climbing over each other for a last kiss, crying,
keening, laughing, all in a breath, till all the air is throbbing and
there's a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes as the train
steams out? Where, out of Ireland, will you be bumping along the
streets on an outside car, beside a taciturn Jarvey, who, on suddenly
discovering that you are shadowed by "Castle" spies, becomes
loquaciously friendly, and points out everything that he thinks will
interest you? Blessings on the quick tongues and warm hearts, on the
people so easy to lead, so hard to drive. And blessings on the ancient
land once inhabited by mighty men of wisdom, that in later times became
the Island of Saints, and shall once again be the Island of Sages, when
the Wheel turns round.
My maternal grandfather was a typical Irishman, much admired by me and
somewhat feared also, in the childish days. He belonged to a decayed
Irish family, the Maurices, and in a gay youth, with a beautiful wife
as light-hearted as himself, he had merrily run through what remained
to him in the way of fortune. In his old age, with abundant snow-white
hair, he still showed the hot Irish blood on the lightest provocation,
stormily angry for a moment and easily appeased. My mother was the
second daughter in a large family, in a family that grew more numerous
as pounds grew fewer, and she was adopted by a maiden aunt, a quaint
memory of whom came through my mother's childhood into mine, and had
its moulding effect on both our characters. This maiden aunt was, as
are most Irish folk of decayed families, very proud of her family tree
with its roots in the inevitable "kings." Her particular kings were the
"seven kings of France"--the "Milesian kings"--and the tree grew up a
parchment, in all its impressive majesty, over the mantelpiece of their
descendant's modest drawing-room. This heraldic monster was regarded
with deep respect by child Emily, a respect in no wise deserved, I
venture to suppose, by the disreputable royalties of whom she was a
fortunately distant twig. Chased out of France, doubtless for cause
shown, they had come over the sea to Ireland, and there continued their
reckless plundering lives. But so strangely turns the wheel of time
that these ill-doing and barbarous scamps became a kind of moral
thermometer in the home of the gentle Irish lady in the early half of
the present century. For my mother has told me that when she had
committed some act of childish naughtiness, her aunt would say, looking
gravely over her spectacles at the small culprit, "Emily, your conduct
is unworthy of the descendant of the seven kings of France." And Emily,
with her sweet grey Irish eyes and her curling masses of raven black
hair, would cry in penitent shame over her unworthiness, with some
vague idea that those royal, and to her very real, ancestors would
despise her small, sweet, rosebud self, so wholly unworthy of their
disreputable majesties.
Thus those shadowy forms influenced her in childhood, and exercised
over her a power that made her shrink from aught that was unworthy,
petty or mean. To her the lightest breath of dishonour was to be
avoided at any cost of pain, and she wrought into me, her only
daughter, that same proud and passionate horror at any taint of shame
or merited disgrace. To the world always a brave front was to be kept,
and a stainless reputation, for suffering might be borne but dishonour
never. A gentlewoman might starve, but she must not run in debt; she
might break her heart, but it must be with a smile on her face. I have
often thought that the training in this reticence and pride of honour
was a strange preparation for my stormy, public, much attacked and
slandered life; and certain it is that this inwrought shrinking from
all criticism that touched personal purity and personal honour added a
keenness of suffering to the fronting of public odium that none can
appreciate who has not been trained in some similar school of dignified
self-respect. And yet perhaps there was another result from it that in
value outweighed the added pain: it was the stubbornly resistant
feeling that rose and inwardly asserted its own purity in face of
foulest lie, and turning scornful face against the foe, too proud
either to justify itself or to defend, said to itself in its own heart,
when condemnation was loudest: "I am not what you think me, and your
verdict does not change my own self. You cannot make me vile whatever
you think of me, and I will never, in my own eyes, be that which you
deem me to be now." And the very pride became a shield against
degradation, for, however lost my public reputation, I could never bear
to become sullied in my own sight--and that is a thing

A review article contributed to the special series on "Research Methodology" in Astrocyte.
Study design forms a core component of research, mainly determined by the study objectives, and it in turn further decides the type of statistical analyses to be carried out. Observational studies are devoid of the investigator's control over assignment of a subject to the treated or control group, in contrast to interventional studies Even though randomized controlled trials are seen as the best study design, evidence shows that properly conducted observational studies give similar results, and is relevant in medical research where ethics and feasibility concerns assume great significance. Observational studies point out towards possible causal associations, are less resource intensive than trials and have a better external validity. This review article discusses various types of observational study designs such as case reports, cross sectional, cohort, case-control and nested case-control studies with real literature examples.
Keywords: Case control, case series, cohort, ecologic, nested case control, observational study

Music, programming, boat-living, bees.
You know.
After coming back from a team-building trip, I started to notice things were going a bit slow on my work laptop. I took it with me for casual emailing and working on the train, but spent about 4 days not really using it and certainly not 'working' on it. It came out once to display the lyrics to a song about Pithivier, and once to check emails, but that was about it.
On my return to work everything ran a little bit slower than I remember. I'm building a web app, so I have a vertical stack of Postgres, Python and Chrome running at the same time. To top it off I had a brief excursion into someone else's code which I didn't know as intimately as my own. For a while I put it down to 'I've been away and forgotten what it's like to use'. Soon came 'Python is a slow language'. Not long after that, 'and so is JavaScript'. No late-binding language was safe.
I put up with this for about a week. Things were usable, just sluggish. It gave me a bit of nostalgia, taking me back to Windows days when things would just slow down after a couple of years. I noticed that Firefox was the main culprit. I've used Firefox for 6 or 7 years, and it has had, on occasion, some terrible performance. This wasn't such a surprise. I tend to favour Chrome anyway, so I just got on with it.
But this evening it came to a point when I had a handful of tabs open, Firefox was converging on 200% CPU and I thought 'this is my machine not yours' and took a closer look.
The first thing I noticed was that the of the CPU cycles used by Firefox, the Firefox code itself wasn't actually guilty.
Notice all that red? That's System CPU usage. And that green skimming on top? That's User CPU. It's been over a year since I've been able to take an interest in this kind of thing, but if I'm correct, the red is system calls, called as a result of userland code, executed in protected kernel space. The green is user code in userland space.
I'm not sure why I didn't notice this before. This is more serious then: it's not buggy Firefox code, but something's going wrong with the system. Perhaps it's a kext gone bezerk, or hardware damage resulting in repeated attempts to perform low-level tasks. Perhaps it's a bug in mach, heaven forfend. I have been on the brink of wiping and re-installing my mac, and this nudged me a bit closer.
I'm a fairly vanilla user. I don't have tonnes of services running, or kexts and drivers installed. Launchd is pretty much as God intended. I don't have any extra daemons running, at elevated privileges or otherwise.
I had noticed other processes use high CPU. TextMate was one culprit, and I'm sure Chrome did this too from time to time. Python was affected, but the closest I got to finding the problem was identifying a stack-maintenance function in CPython, which isn't such a surprise. Firefox was the most noteworthy recidivist, and it was doing it right now.
So I decided to run Shark on the Firefox process. The results were as follows:
Aha! So it is kernel code responsible. I know from my copy of Mac OS Internals: A Systems Approach (it's an excellent book), as well as it being fairly obvious from the name, that vm_fault is a page fault.
Whilst this was running I was searching the web for random high CPU usage. I came across this discussion which blamed BTServer. I just happened to notice that Bluetooth was enabled. We'd tried to use it to get the Pithivier words transferred to my laptop on the team-building trip. Bluetooth was the first port of call. I'd last done this in 2004, before wifi came as standard, and it was straightforward then (it didn't work this time, we used wifi).
I disabled Bluetooth. Behold:
CPU suddenly dropped to what I'd expect. Just like that. I have frankly no idea whatsoever why this happened.
I can't see a connection between the Bluetooth kext (I imagine it's a kext) and page faults. I don't see why it would happen for one codebase / process any more than any other. I can't see why it wouldn't happen in the Bluetooth daemon not a completely unrelated process. I can only guess that it somehow shifted some function pointers around, or registered on some interrupts, or something. Perhaps the user_trap somehow installed by the Bluetooth server, and had some expensive code in it? Perhaps an IOKit driver was installed in the wrong bit of the device tree.
But I don't really care, problem solved. Except it does leave me casually wondering if the design of Firefox leads to more page faults than Chrome. And apologising to Javascript and Python and all its late-binding friends, as the problem was almost certainly written in C or C++.
tl;dr if your CPU runs excessively high on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, check to see if you've got Bluetooth enabled.
If you do, disable it. It's 2012.

Office Property Market in Bulgaria to Continue Growing - Report
Though it was unpopular until 2003, the Bulgarian office property market is growing and is expected to evolve further, Landmark Property management board chairman Richard Macdonald said.
Macdonald took part in the first ever property international press tour in Bulgaria. Sofia Echo Media and Central European Property Investment Forum (CEPIF) feature among the organisers of the event.
Sofia already boasts various office property projects and a number of others are in the process of being completed, Macdonald said.
Some of the major office property projects in Sofia include Lozenets Expo, Business Pak Sofia, Business Park West and the developments alongside Bulgaria and Tsarigradsko Shousse boulevards, Macdonald said.
Vacancy rates have fallen dramatically, he said, though no one expected several years ago that the office property market will see such development.
One noticeable office property market trend is that local investors tend to buy, while foreigners rent, Macdonald said. At the moment demand exceeds supply.
Another fact is that the quality of office property projects is constantly improving and will continue becoming better.
Macdonald said that in Landmark's estimates in the near future rent per sq m will reach up to 17 or 18 euro and yield compression will vary between 6.5 and seven per cent.

So I mentioned how Steampunk isn't really my genre in my review of The Girl in the Steel Corset, the first book in the series, but that it had managed to convince me not to give up on the genre entirely, cause I really enjoyed The Girl in the Steel Corset! So when I saw the sequel, The Girl in the Clockwork Collar, on NetGalley I just HAD to request it!
And really, I'm in love with Kady Cross's writing! It's absolutely wonderful and she has me believing in all the crazy stuff going on and all the inventions that are mentioned! I mean, I'm more of a magic kind of girl instead of actual contraptions doing stuff, but well, she just makes it work! And I keep finding myself thinking what a GENIUS Emily (one of the characters) is for coming up with all this stuff! I wish I could invent things...
I'm really liking the character development all of the main cast is going through and getting to know them better was wonderful! Finley is still the kickass girl she was in the first novel and is trying to figure out what it is exactly that she wants now that her 2 halves have been merged for the most part and just basically discovering who she is. I loved that with her it's not all black and white. She has a good heart, but she's also attracted to the darker side of things and I loved watching her figure it all out and owning up to her struggles with it.
And Griffin... That boy is still as swoonworthy as he was in The Girl With The Steel Corset, even when I sometimes wanted to slap him on the back of his head to FINALLY GET ON WITH SOME STUFF I WON'T MENTION! I love the chemistry between him and Finley and am really very much appreciative of there not being insta-love between them, because that is one of the biggest pet peeves I have when it comes to novels!
The abilities of all these characters we meet again are immensely interesting and I didn't feel that this book suffered from second book syndrome at all! There's enough action and definitely plot progression so I was rather enjoying myself reading it. There's some build up to what I think we will find out more about in the third book and I'm already anticipating a lot of angst and drama and an EPIC BATTLE.
I do have to say that the characters still seem a lot older in their behaviour than their actual age. If I didn't know they were teenagers, I'd say they were all about 23-25. This kind of bugged me at times, because I kept having to remind myself they were a lot younger than they appeared.
So basically this is a wonderful steampunk series and I'm sticking with it cause I can't wait to find out how it will all end! Even recommended to non-fans of the genre, the writing and characters are good enough on themselves!
My rating: 4 stars

Now I'm back, and mostly caught up on things (Except television. And house cleaning. And LJ. And interoffice mail. Aw, heck. I'm not really caught up on much at all. Damn you, inexorable march of time!)
In the interim, I've seen a bunch of movies. (And done lots of hiking, and sightseeing, and had a really amazing weekend of gaming, and watched lots of soccer, and done lots of other things, but none of them are relevant here). One of those movies was:
Wordplay in 25 words or less:
It's no Spellbound (what is!), but it worked. Great subjects (Shortz! Clinton! Stewart!!), some suspense, and most importantly, it's inspired me to do more crosswords. B+.

Revised on 8/18/11, "Learning To Fly" beta update
(The Bouldering Guide has been updated 8/16/11)
(The Bouldering Guide has been updated 8/16/11)
I'm happy to report on some recent bouldering activity in Harpers Ferry.
|Alex took a quick phone pic of the problem. It's overhanging, bad holds, bad feet, longish moves, and pretty rock. You can catch site of this problem in the Harpers Ferry Climbing Tour Part II video when a hand comes into view on the starting hold. Admittedly the pic doesn't do it justice, but it's a glimpse none the less.
Alex Brown and his buddy Ethan have been working on sending projects and repeating established problems. Alex reports that he and his buddy Ethan have been focused on the Harpers Ferry Super Project problem #61 in the Highlands and successfully climbed the problem on Monday (8/15/11) morning. Alex suggests it is about V8/9 in difficulty and is calling it "Learning to Fly". They have also repeated "The Underground Railroad" and both think V7 is a good rating for the problem. You can read Alex's account below. Learning to Fly is the now the most difficult bouldering problem to be climbed at Harpers Ferry, to my knowledge.

While your wedding is sure to be beautiful, the planning process that leads up to it is equally likely to be stressful. There is a lot of planning that has to take place. You need to consider the cake, flowers and venue when planning your wedding. The advice in the next few paragraphs will help streamline the process of planning your wedding, so you can focus on the enjoyable parts rather than the stress.
You can save money by choosing an off season wedding date. The traditional season for weddings is May to September. Wedding venues can be pricier at this time. If you plan on getting married during these months, plan as early as you can for the lowest cost.
Make use of a family member's or friend's property for your venue. Instead of booking a ballroom, try holding your wedding in a backyard or field instead. You could pay for a cleaning service to come through before and after the wedding and make that the only cost.
Your wedding should be as unique as your relationship is, so add a few touches specific to your personalities or relationship. Select a theme that represents the time that you have spent with each other.
Of course, the most important aspect of getting married is choosing the right intended! There is not need to hurry this important choice. Carefully think about that person and the things you cannot live without and the things that might drive you crazy.
If you want a unique reception, get cuisine that centers around a certain ethnic theme. Chicken and steak have both been done. Go with something creative! Variety makes things interesting, so why not incorporate it into your big day?
You can add small decorative items to your entire wedding theme. Have a ribbon used on your bouquet mirrored on your centerpieces, or in your gown, or even in your hair. Your wedding will be perfect when you add in the small details.
The most important part of marriage is the person you plan on marrying. Marriage will change your life, and the decision to wed should never be taken lightly. Give this person's habits and peccadilloes a great deal of consideration.
Makeup Artist
Take the time necessary to write out your wedding vows, because this is going to be remembered by your spouse for a long time. Marriage is a life long commitment that requires love, sacrifice and the art of compromise and forgiveness. Express your love for the other person in your vows.
When you choose a makeup artist to help you with your wedding, you definitely want to check out prior work. This will help you to rule out make up artists whose styles do not mesh with your own. Make sure you love it. You don't want to find out an hour before the ceremony that your makeup artist has a look planned that you hate.
If you cringe at the thought of purchasing an extremely expensive yet incredibly unhealthy wedding cake, there are other options available. You should consider getting in touch with local bakeries and specialty boutiques to inquire about individual portions that are healthier. Some specialty bakeries also ship fresh, low-cal cupcakes and healthy fare, like gluten-free options if you so desire.
You do not have to get a wedding cake that is filled with countless calories. There are some bakers who are able to prepare delicious and beautiful cakes that are individually sized to be just enough to give someone the cake they want without the calories they do not want. You may be able to find a bakery willing to provide freshly-baked cupcakes that are low-calorie and available in healthier options for family with special dietary needs such as gluten or sugar-free.
Your guests shouldn't have to hang around while your pictures are taken. You should take wedding pictures beforehand. Pictures with the bride or groom and their respective parents can also be taken ahead of time, reducing the amount of time guests have to wait for your arrival at the reception.
Embellish your bouquet with sparkle. You can use rhinestones, diamonds or Swarovski crystals. You can accomplish this by including some heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, some costume jewelry or an heirloom that is treasured. To ensure that it coordinates with the rest of your ensemble, be consistent in terms of sparkling colors, cut, and size of the stones.
Rent a venue, with lights that are capable of being dimmed, for your wedding reception. You may not think this detail is important; however, consider the effect of low lights on parts of your reception. For example, you may want to dim the lights for your first dance or other important dances and brighten them when you want everyone to participate in dancing. Discuss this with the venues you're considering before making your final choice.
Find out if the lights at your reception venue are the type that can be dimmed. This may seem minor, but lighting is important to setting the mood and dimmed lights are preferable for your first dance. Before you sign any contracts with the venue, make sure this is an option.
During your wedding planning, arrange for even numbers of guests at each table. Tables should also be grouped based on their age. This will help increase the chances that guests will be able to talk and chat together.
When you are planning a multi-course meal for your guests, offer some sort of appeasement on the tables to keep people occupied during the change in courses. Sugar roses that blend with your wedding colors would be a nice touch.
Share an online itinerary with your guests, especially the out-of-town ones, so that everyone can plan their schedules in advance. For family members and members of the bridal party, give them information about the rehearsal dinner, as well.
If you don't plan on serving dinner for reception guests, think about eschewing furniture in lieu of renting multiple tables. Soft sectional furniture, lounges and chaises can make it easier for guests to interact with each other. Perhaps you could create different lounges and add plush seating to allow your guests to relax.
Although you may have found and purchased the perfect dress, it is a good idea to have the bridal shop hold it until the big day. When you put it in your personal closet, it may get stained or wrinkled. It can be safely kept at the store until you need it and can be freshly steamed when you pick it up.
Wedding Planner
If you will be serving a meal served over multiple courses, keep your guests entertained while food is being served with small dishes filled with sweets at each table. Sugar roses that blend with your wedding colors would be a nice touch.
Do your research before hiring a wedding planner. Use fashion designers as inspiration and create a look book of inspiration that can be used as a starting off point. Magazine clippings, other pictures and anything else you find can help you communicate your desired vision to a wedding planner.
Centerpieces can quickly cause your reception to be a dud financially and socially. Instead of purchasing a large centerpiece that will take up the whole table, keep it very simple. If the centerpiece is too big, it becomes a distraction, making it difficult for people to interact as well as enjoy their food.
Be sure to inform the caterer that your reception will be outside. Some foods may spoil quickly on hot days, and other dishes may not fare well in strong wind. Perhaps you can use fancy covers on your dishes. You could even run an extension cord and plug in a bar fridge to keep beverages refreshingly cold.
If the groom and bride come from different cultural backgrounds, embrace each background by incorporating the traditions of both in the wedding and reception. In this way, the wedding event will be unique, personal and memorable.
Be sure to take care of all legal details if you are planning a destination wedding. Whether it is residency requirements, fees, or any other red tape, you should have all your needs addressed before you begin the task of booking hotels and services for the big day.
Flowers that are abundant in your state during specific seasons will not be easily available in climates that are tropical and humid or cooler and dry like the Mediterraneans. Communicate with florist and wedding professionals where you're getting married to discover the flowers that will be blooming and available at that time.
Be sure to hire a professional wedding photographer who has the ability to create beautiful memories rather than simply snapping photos. When scouting out photographers, always check out their prior work and their references. Ask them about their ideal process and flow throughout your wedding day. You should understand their process and how they will impact your big day.
If you are having an outdoor wedding, include a contingency plan for inclement weather or any other unforeseen problem. It can be as simple as renting tents to accommodate the wedding party and guests, or choose a location where either an indoor or outdoor wedding is possible. Set up planks to prevent your guests from getting mud or dirt on their shoes.
Create wedding vows from the heart. Though it might be simpler to copy another source, keep in mind that you know your fiance better than anyone else. Writing your vows adds a special memory to this special day. This will help your event become very happy and emotional.
Always understand the legal requirements for your location when planning a destination wedding. Before you start booking services and hotels, make sure everything is taken care of, from fees to residency requirements.
It's tempting to do things the way your family has always done them to keep the peace. Keep in mind that your wedding is about you and your partner, not your extended family. If it's a choice between pleasing your relatives or pleasing yourself and your partner, you have to do what pleases you. Thank them for any suggestions and kindly decline their ideas with an explanation that it is your turn to make these decisions. That way you can look back on your wedding day with no regrets.
Remember to consider the gift registry at weddings. Tell your guests that they are not required to bring anything. Offer suggestions that span a wide array of price points. By selecting different priced items, people can find items they can comfortably afford to give.
Start planning your wedding early. The more time you have to plan, the better your odds will be of getting everything you want for your wedding. This allows you to pick out vendors that are going to meet the needs and the budget you have set up.
You want the bride to be happiest on her big wedding day, so make sure that you run everything through her first so that no surprises arise. Planning a wedding and dealing with problems will make a bride stressed and anxious. You want to just run everything by her as well as make sure there is nothing that you are missing to ensure her happiness.
Brides can benefit from practicing smiling when standing before a mirror. This helps you get the exact look you want for your pictures. With enough practice, you will be able to get the look you want.
Make sure you check with your bridesmaids on the subject of gowns before they arrive for the big day. The choice of dress can often lead to disgruntlement between bride and bridesmaid. Be sure to select comfortable dresses that match your theme and look good on your bridesmaids. This will prevent anyone's feelings from getting hurt.
A wedding day is a highly anticipated event that many people dream of from a very young age. But planning an actual wedding can be complicated and daunting. Do not blow things out of proportion and plan everything carefully for a successful wedding.
A rewards-based credit card can help you recover a little bit of the cost associated with your wedding. Frequent flyer miles or other credit card rewards can help defray the cost of your wedding. Any time you need to buy something for the wedding, charge it to the card. You'll see your rewards build up in no time.

text: The politics of ChristmasDecember 22, 2006|Written By Jennifer McPhee The now-famous Christmas tree controversy sparked when Justice Marion Cohen banished an artificial Christmas tree from the lobby of the Ontario Court of Justice at 311 Jarvis St. in Toronto may lead to a policy about the display of religious and cultural symbols in Ontario courthouses. Cohen, responsible for administrative matters in the courthouse in question, was widely criticized in the media by court staff, members of the public, and religious groups. One blogger, also a columnist at a Toronto paper, referred to her as the "judge who stole Christmas."Ontario Bar Association president James Morton sent an open letter to Attorney General Michael Bryant asking him to create a policy that promotes a greater understanding of diverse religions and cultures by allowing displays and symbols in Ontario courthouses. "Inclusiveness and understanding are core values of Canadian society and our justice system, which are only enhanced by the sharing of religious symbols between members of ethnically and religiously diverse communities," wrote Morton. "Barring Christmas trees and all other religious displays from the public's view in our courthouses does exactly the opposite. This controversy serves only to weaken the public's faith in our legal system, which must always be viewed as fair, just, and reasoned."Morton says the issue is an emotional one that has touched a nerve, and he's received a flood of positive responses to his letter. "I've been involved in a number of things that have been covered in the media," he says. "I've never (had) as much response from people I know."Bryant plans to discuss whether a policy is necessary with Chief Justice Brian Lennox of the Ontario Court of Justice at a regularly scheduled meeting in January. "Either this is anomalous event that led to some public debate, which was probably quite fruitful, or it's something that we need to consider a policy on," says Bryant. "I suspect it's probably the former, but that's something I'll certainly be talking with Chief Justice Lennox about."Morton believes the situation may prove to be a good thing. "It has sparked debate and a discussion about the use and display of religious symbols and cultural symbols in courthouses. It may lead ultimately to a proper policy that allows such displays in a respectful and appropriate fashion which would, overall, be a very good thing."Unknown vigilantes briefly restored the tree to its original position of glory last week before Cohen ordered it back to its downgraded locale around the corner and down the hall. And for the rest of the season, the tree will remain in this spot."I think it would be an overreaction for anybody to imagine a habeas corpus application to free the tree," says Bryant. "But I think as long as people's voices are heard, then it has the important effect of setting forth which is the right way to go, which is to celebrate these holidays and not hide them around the corner."Bryant adds that, had the judge not posted a memo about the tree, people would probably have assumed the tree's transfer was simply a fire safety precaution.However, being a Christian in a Jewish family, Bryant is no stranger to Christmas tree politics. "We always go celebrate Christmas with my parents where there is a tree already," he says. "But that's the official Abramovitch-Bryant policy. As for the official Ontario policy, I'll talk with Chief Justice Lennox about that."

Determining Valid Criteria for Teacher Evaluation.
Chan, Tak-Cheung
Georgia Association of Middle School Principals' Journal, v1 n1 Spr 1977
Teaching may seem too complex and too involved in various dimensions of affective and cognitive aspects of learning for a good teacher evaluation program to be devised. A hierarchy of criteria is proposed, based upon analysis of observable versus unobservable characteristics, measureable and non-measureable characteristics, and attributes and variables. Once reliability is established, then the conceptually more difficult task of determining validity can begin. The ultimate goal of validity can only be based upon reliability. The research task of developing reliable methods of evaluating teachers and determining the validity of the criteria on which these methods rest lies before us. (Author/CTM)

How do you backup your company data?
While you're probably aware that a consistent backup schedule is the best plan for your data in your disaster recovery, you may not realize that you have options in how that backup is performed.
File Backup
One option is a file/folder-based backup. In this type of setup, the smallest unit that you would be able to restore is a file or folder. The typical use for such a system is to restore a file or folder that has been lost on an otherwise healthy system. This is a "selective" backup, where the business chooses what data should be backed up, and only those files and folders are backed up. The total backup is much smaller in size, with less capacity needed and a lower overall cost. However, should a disaster occur, the restoration of data can take much, much longer than anticipated. With a file/folder backup, you must start from scratch to restore your system to working order – installing the operating system, all the software applications, the software used to back up the files and folders, and then finally the files and folders themselves. Only the files and folders selected for backup are restored; any others lost in a data disaster are simply that – lost.
Image Backup
Another –more complete and recommended – option is an image-based backup. Image-based backups are full hard drive images, consisting of the block by block contents of a hard drive. In the event of a data disaster, a business' entire data set is preserved, allowing for a move to new hardware and a swift restore of all information. While this approach requires a larger capacity for storage and the use of bandwidth to move these larger files to the cloud, not to mention a greater expense, it also provides the most complete backup and the fastest restore.
Image-based backups are by far the superior choice for complete and swift recovery of data, and are the backups that TechWorks Inc recommends.
When considering what type of backup to use for your business, don't let cost dictate your decision. Other factors, such as depth and breadth of data, as well as length of downtime should a disaster occur, also need to enter into the equation. If you have a tiny, selected amount of data you want to preserve, and don't mind waiting a full day or more to restore your system to operating capacity, then it's perfectly fine to consider file/folder backup. But if you feel that your computer system and its data are far too important to your company to have to wait more than a day to get back in business, then image-based backup is well worth the increased investment.

Developer Supergiant Games recently revealed trailer for its upcoming video game "Bastion" for Xbox 360, PC and for PlayStation 3 (PS3). In the game, players must create and fight for civilization's last refuge as a mysterious narrator marks their every move. The goal of Bastion is to construct a safe haven in the wake of the Calamity, a cataclysmic event that shattered the world into a series of floating islands. As players journey into the wild unknown in search of survivors and supplies, they will confront strange beasts, forge an array of customizable weapons, and gain new powers from specially-brewed spirits. The entire play experience of Bastion is dynamically narrated, gradually revealing a rich backstory as the narrator reacts to the player's actions in real time.
