Subscribe Recent quotes: 10 SEALs Set to be Separated from the Service for failing Drug Tests; Investigation Underway - USNI News "We have a zero-tolerance policy for the use of illicit drugs and as such these individuals will be held accountable for their actions. We are confident in our drug testing procedures and will continue to impress on all members of the command that illicit drugs are incompatible with the SEAL ethos and Naval service." It's unclear if the incidents are related. The failure of the drug tests has sparked a Naval Special Warfare Command investigation into the circumstances around the failures. Since he took command of Naval Special Warfare Command in 2016, commander Rear Adm. Tim Szymanski has been vocal inside the community that bad behavior would not be tolerated in the SEAL community. In late 2016, East Coast SEALs took an operational pause to address the drug problem in special warfare after several investigations found a spike in usage "I feel like I'm watching our foundation, our culture erode in front of our eyes," commander of Naval Special Warfare Group 2 Capt. Jamie Sands said in a closed-door meeting as part of the standdown, according to video obtained by CBS. #stimulants #war-on-drugs #psychotropics - news.usni.org Get an email when henry copeland finds

President Donald Trump announced Christopher Wray was his pick for FBI director on Twitter Wednesday morning. Wray, a New Jersey attorney and former Bush administration official, helped defend Chris Christie during the Bridgegate scandal, prompting The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon to make fun of Christie's weight. Late Night's Seth Meyers also joked that Trump is just toying with Christie by not giving him the job.
Fired FBI Director James Comey asked the Senate Intelligence Committee to release his opening testimony ahead of his Thursday hearing and it contains some ripe material for late-night hosts. Comey wrote that Trump said "he had not been involved with hookers in Russia," prompting Jimmy Kimmel to note that Bill Clinton probably finds this hilarious. The infamous meeting in which Trump asked Comey for loyalty was subject to many jokes Wednesday night, particularly the portion of testimony where Comey wrote that he and Trump had an awkward one-on-one dinner in which Trump asked for loyalty and Comey wrote "I didn't move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed." The Daily Show's Trevor Noah joked that Comey treated Trump like a bear in the woods, while The Late Show's Stephen Colbert noted that this was a strategy to avoid getting eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex in the original Jurassic Park. Meyers joked that the silence was like a bad Tinder date and Noah joked that Comey was clearly discomforted by the silence, yet the president just thought they were going to kiss.

It's crazy to think back about the journey we've been on these past couple of months. Working in the heat, long nights, lots of thinking and re-thinking. We are in the Home run stretch of finishing this project and then the For Sale sign will go up. Once we reach that point all of our focus will go to the new house to get it ready so we can move in.
This weekend we finally completed the final touches to the mudroom. Branko and his dad worked on the garage addition that needed to be completed. All the siding was put up now just the small details need to be finished. I managed to get some cleaning done inside the house and pack more stuff. This week will be full of painting and more cleaning. I am really looking forward to having our real estate agent come up and see all of the changes! I think she is going to love it.
We even managed to hang out with our neighbours Sat night. It was full of laughter and "beverages". I will leave this post off with one of my favourite quotes.

Losing family is never easy
There's no right or wrong way to grieve, but there are ways to cope easier with the loss. Celebrate the life of your loved one by honouring and remembering them in a myriad of ways.
When Mel lost her cat, Oakley-Bean, her heart broke. Then, after a negative experience during his cremation, Mel's heart broke all over again. Overwhelmed with uncertainty, as she held an urn containing ashes she could only trust were Oakley-Bean's, her pain turned into a passion: ensuring other families never had to experience this doubt.
From our family to yours
Since 2008, we've helped hundreds of families, just like yours, take care of their pet's final journey with a loving and trusted individual cremation service, allowing them to remain close, through a dedicated urn or a memorial item.
With every pet we cremate, we always have our Oakley-Bean in the back of our minds, and therefore treat your family member as if they were our own. We're long-time vegans and take great pride in being able to dignify the bond between animals and people with Angel Ashes.
After all these years, we still get affected by the pets we see every day, yet helping the owner's grieve and offering them a support system (something we never had) allows us to continue such highly emotional work every day.
We are a local Adelaidian family business and live in Sheidow Park. All proceeds stay here in South Australia, supporting other local business, and not the CEO's of large national companies. Each month we support SA Dog Rescue with a donation and encourage you to donate any items you can to their Op Shop in Smithfield to help them continue their amazing work. SA Dog Rescue is only run by volunteers and needs your support.

Can you give me a little information on iTunes? I'm confused as to what it really is.
Sure, that's no problem. iTunes is becoming more and more popular every day, so it doesn't hurt to understand the whole concept of it just a tad bit. Basically, iTunes is an online digital media player application that is used for playing and organizing music and video files. iTunes was launched by the Apple Computer company in 2001 and it's been going strong ever since. You may be familiar with iPods (since they are one of the coolest things since sliced bread) and it just so happens that iTunes is the interface that manages the iPod audio player.
To get music from iTunes, you can connect the iTunes Music Store where you can purchase music and movie files. You can then play these files with either iTunes or with an iPod. As you probably noticed, I did say you can "purchase" these files. As with everything else these days, it comes with a cost. In the U.S., the set price for a song is $.99 and if you wanted to create a whole CD of songs, it costs approximately $9.99. You can get a 30 second stream of a song before you decide to purchase it, which gives you a little listening time to be sure you want to buy that song.
Once you buy a song, you can use the simple media applications from the iTunes music store to transfer them to your iPod. iTunes works with a few other digital music players (besides the iPod). If you were interested in seeing if yours would work, you would have to look into the information you received with your player or contact the company to see if it's compatible with iTunes.
Once you get the songs, you can organize them into playlists, you can edit the file information and you can even back them up on a CD or DVD. The newest version of iTunes is iTunes 6 and there is a free download and some additional information on this Web site.
iTunes works with Windows 2000, XP, Windows Server 2003, Mac OS X and it also works on a few cellular phones.
So, if you're a big music guru, this may be the perfect way to get your ultimate music library!

Joe Clyde's dad beat him to death for urinating on the floor, source says
DICKSON, Tenn. (WZTV) - FOX 17 News has exclusively learned the stated motive for the alleged murder of young Joe Clyde Daniels.
The 5-year-old kindergarten student was reported missing by his father last month, prompting a massive search. Yet, days later Joseph Daniels was charged with murder after reportedly confessing to killing his son and hiding the body.
Joe Clyde's body still hasn't been found – despite hundreds of volunteers participating in a coordinated search over the weekend.
A source extremely close to the case has told FOX 17 News that Joseph Daniels told officers that he beat his son to death after his son urinated on the floor.
This small detail could be critical in proving a case where there is still no body.
The source said the father "consistently" made statements that he beat Joe Clyde to death on a coffee table after the boy with autism, who was also non-verbal, urinated on the floor.
This piece is critical since Tennessee state law prohibits a conviction based on a confession alone.
Attorney David Raybin wrote Tennessee Criminal Code, and he will tell, despite the confession, the state will not have an easy road convicting Joseph Daniels and his wife Krystal Daniels.
And while these large manhunts are certainly aimed to give this little boy a proper burial, there is a very unemotional reason as well -- this case needs that evidence.
"So they have two problems in this case," Raybin said. "Can the confession prove the murder, sure, but they have to have separate evidence to prove the validity of the confession and separate evidence to prove the child was murdered."
Finding urine on the floor could support the confession, but finding the body could prove the child was murdered and that this was not an accident.
Meanwhile, there is still the case of Joe Clyde's mom Krsytal Daniels. She is charged with aggravated child neglect or endangerment after an affidavit said she was present the night Joseph beat their son to death and tried to help cover up the crime.
According to state law, under these circumstances and only these circumstances, Krystal can be used against her husband.
Raybin believes that the state will put together a web of guilt including little pieces of evidence, odd behavior and delayed 911 calls that all add up to go with the confession.
The Daniels' hearing was pushed back to June 4 at 9 a.m. At their last court appearance, both Daniels were met with protesters demanding to know, "where is baby Joe?"
For now, the Daniels are still sitting behind bars in Dickson County where they requested a photo of Joe Clyde and were given a search flyer for their inmate quarters.
There are no future planned searches at this time. The lack of results has not discouraged the community.
FOX 17 News will be at the June 4 appearance and carry live coverage. Stick with us for the latest on this story.

The country of Savoy (suh VOY) had been ruled by the Savoy family since the 1000's. By the mid 1800's the family ruled all of Italy and continued to do so until 1946. It was a land of glaciers, mountains and lakes. Life was hard for the common people who lived in the land. They only had a small parcel of land and could not make a very good living from it.
Some had to wander away from their home to try to make a living elsewhere. That's what these children are doing. They go from farm to farm and make music for people. In exchange they get some food. Often at home they would have to eat bread made of chestnuts or go hungry.
We would call them "wandering minstrels". The boy has his accordian strapped to his shoulder. His sister is giving her pet marmot a drink of the milk.

Millions of shorebirds could be in danger of massive population loss due to rising oceans.
Research has predicted that a loss of 23-40% of the birds' main feeding grounds could lead to a 70% decline in their populations. Some shorebirds have already suffered population losses of 30-80% due to rapid coastal development and reclamation.
The loss of any feeding grounds or breeding areas for shorebirds could prove a disaster for various species, as many rely on these areas as stepping stones in their migratory patterns.Read more at The University of Queensland

Who Is On Your Dream Team?
What the heck is a dream team? And who's in yours?
I had a surprise visit from an old friend this week, and we got to do all that awesome stuff you do with someone who really, really gets you.
We caught up on what's been happening in each other's lives, we brainstormed business ideas, we traded stories and lessons, we made pizzas and drank beer, and reminisced about the old days.
But the thing is, this friend isn't just a regular friend. He's on my dream team.
Let me explain …
About 10 years ago I was running a surf school. Pretty idyllic job: my passion for surfing working outside making people stoked = very happy Linz.
It was coming up to the start of the season, and I was keeping my eyes open for new staff.
The school always had a pretty nice flow of staff. A mix of locals and travelling surfers ensured fresh ideas and perspectives.
But this year was different…..
One by one, I found a truly phenomenal team. Looking back, it still amazes me that we all came together in the same place at the same time.
True synchronicity.
What made it a dream team? We all had a way of thinking and living that seemed to connect us.
Imagine this….
Chris… a big wave surfer (the humblest man I've ever met) who had set himself such a phenomenal goal and was doing whatever it took to succeed.
Mark… an Aussie who took spontaneity & fun to another level (he lived in a tent in someone's garden for the summer). A goofball with a huge heart.
Ross… whose introduction to the team came when his van (with everything he owned inside) spontaneously combusted one evening after a surf. He had this spirit that was unstoppable. A blend of wisdom, talent, compassion and drive.
Dean … a South African with a beaming smile and an infectious laugh. He was a true hero for all our surf school kids. Someone who worked hard but managed to always have fun whilst doing it.
And me… with my big dreams and big goals. Always learning and always growing.
We surfed together, we worked together, we downhill skated together. We laughed together, we shared travel stories and dreams….
but mainly, we inspired each other.
That summer, we had a blast. Work felt easy. I felt privileged to be a part of a team of such incredible people.
It has been years since those simple surf school days, and now that we're scattered around the globe, we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like.
But here's the thing…. we're still connected…
We cheer each other on.
We share our lessons.
We look to each other for inspiration.
We trade ideas, books and learning resources.
We talk about our biggest dreams.
We have each other's backs.
Do you have a dream team?
People you can talk late into the night with about your life's purpose ?
When was the last time you called them up for a 'hey, what's happening with you chat ?'
One of the most beautiful things you can do is let someone know they are on your dream team.
Make an effort…. send them an email.
Heck, send them this article. Tell them how freaking awesome they are and how much they inspire you.
Oh, and if you're reading this thinking, Um, I'm not sure I have one… then guess what....
Get out there and create one!
Think about the people who you can connect with who really light you up.
Trust me, they're waiting for you to call :)

Advanced Procedures
A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, we surgically implant a small titanium shaft into the bone and allow it to heal. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, your general dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the shaft. This permanent solution has the advantages over bridge work that it does not stress the surrounding teeth for support, and, should the tooth wear out, another can simply be replaced on the shaft.
Implants can also be used as support as part of an implant bridge. This is an alternative to partial dentures, and has several advantages. First, there is no adjustment period to acclimatize the patient who, once the work is done, only feels teeth, not metal supports intruding into the mouth. Second, this slows the bone loss occasioned by missing teeth. Third, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. And, best of all, of course, they don't have to be taken out all the time.
Soft tissue grafts or gum grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. During surgery, Dr. Gorday takes gum tissue, usually from your palate, to cover the exposed root. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your gum line and reduce sensitivity.
This is a procedure that may be requested by your general dentist to facilitate placement of a crown or filling. Usually crown lengthening is performed to expose decay that is too far below the gum line or too extensive to allow the proper placement of a filling or crown. Dr. Gorday cuts away excess tissue and bone surrounding the tooth or teeth and re-contours the tissue. Crown lengthening is also performed as a cosmetic procedure to reduce excess tissue and correct a "gummy smile".
The frenum is a non-essential muscle connecting the lips, cheek, or tongue to the jaw bone. It is the piece of tissue you can feel with your tongue running between your lip and your front teeth. Sometimes this muscle is too thick or pulls so much it causes problems. Often frenectomy is done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to reduce a diastema (a gap between two teeth) or to allow proper eruption of secondary teeth.
A frenectomy may sometimes be required in conjunction with a soft tissue graft. The frenum inside the lower lip can pull the gum away from the tooth causing or worsening recession. The frenum may need to be removed either prior to or at the same time as a soft tissue graft to properly correct the defect.

Director: Frank Coraci
Stars: Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, Leslie Bibb
Rating and Length: PG / 104 minutes
Genre: Comedy / Family
This movie starts with a botched proposal by Kevin James, which foreshadows the rest of this botched film. James did the best he could with what he was given, but talking animals just don't seem to work as well if they're not in an animated movie. The best part was the Happy Feet 2 Trailer beforehand. Just kidding ... kind of. The only saving grace is Rosario Dawson (I'm not sure what she is doing in this movie, but I guess even she needs to pay the bills). The scene with her and James dancing together was the only charming part, and even that was quickly ruined with a slapstick accident. I supposed kids might like it for the animals (they are a little amusing) but it was pretty boring to watch the talking animals try to help the zookeeper win back his ex-girlfriend who I never understood why he was with in the first place. Even the hilarious Ken Jeong (The Hangover) couldn't sell it. Oh well, better luck next time Kevin James, at least you'll always have Hitch.

2/5/06 10:49 am - ...and only two trolls were left standing!
martinoh, miss_next & pendlemac came to my shop yesterday, which was the first or second halfway busy saturday of the year, and they learned to play Thud in-between customers. there was only time for the first half a game [a], in which martinoh nobly agreed to play the dwarfs [b], complaining only occasionally that he was handicapped by having come unprepared, whilst miss_next remorselessly and all but inexorably mowed down his forces, only occasionally querying how it happened that she came to be playing against two (or three) as she trundled and shoved her way to (partial, possibly provisional [c]) victory, reducing martinoh's dwarfish forces to one solitary, defiant fugitive - though not without suffering sore losses to trollkind.
[a] - once both sides agree they can take no further pieces in a reasonable time, the board is set up anew for the second half, in which the trolls player is now playing the dwarfs, and vice-versa
[b] - i did advise my visitors that i've played eight and four half games of Thud so far, and watched a few more, and in all but one game, the winner was s/he who played the dwarfs least poorly - troll strategy is a lot easier to derive - and to put into practice
[c] - the return half to be played at a later date, as miss_next had to go for her train, and so the visitors departed

Being a series of articles in which the author reads the indelible words of Gygax and Arneson as presented the Original Collector's Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, published by Tactical Studies Rules. Beginning with Men & Magic, and concluding with The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, the author will consider those earliest passages, adding elucidations and interpretations along the way for your consideration.
Monsters & Treasure
When I wrapped up my conclusions on the re-read of Volume I, I wrote that the 20 posts I had made while going through Men & Magic would amount to more posts than Volumes II and III combined. I guess I missed the mark with that statement. I ended up with 15 posts regarding Monsters & Treasure, so unless I skim through The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, I will certainly surpass my original estimation.
As I did with Volume I, I will be looking back at the posts and comments for Volume II in order to highlight some of the noteworthy observations from readers which I think will help me realize different angles or views on the topics I covered and speculated on. I have definitely altered my view on a number of elements.
The following words, written in the Volume I Conclusion, bear repeating here as well:
"This exercise began on a whim for me, as I thought it might be fun to try and uncover some passages here and there which I felt were noteworthy, or perhaps I had been implementing incorrectly. It has now become more or less a challenge to see if I can actually read and consider each passage in the famous White Box, or LBB.
I know many will scratch their heads, and wonder why in the world anyone would want to actually undertake such a project. The joy of OD&D for many, myself included, is to treat the books as a guide; one which is a pleasure to use for playing D&D precisely due to the vagaries inherent in the books. Here's the thing, though. Many of us spend an inordinate amount of time debating various topics within these volumes. Many of these subjects are simply rehashed theories and assertions, but others are more or less glossed over; as if some authority through the years has 'shown' us how to play. I blame AD&D 1e for many of the assumptions I make when looking at these rules. I am trying to distance myself from those opinions formed over nearly 30 years of gaming.
In addition, given the amount of time many of us spend considering and speculating the matters in these volumes, and the sheer collective value the originals now hold, I feel it is important to make these distinctions. This IS the Holy Grail of RPGs, and it deserves attention and its truths need to be brought forth, that they might stand on their own merits. Once we understand as much as we can about OD&D, then we can still go on our merry ways and house rule, home brew and customize ad nauseum.
By no means is this meant to be some 'by the book' essay or thesis which attempts to tell players that there is one right way to play OD&D. As all of you know by now, you could very well toss all three volumes in the trash bin and wing an entire campaign using just paper and pencil, and maybe some dice. I value these books more than that, so while I might end up home brewing a game that is very clearly NOT OD&D, I will always cherish and respect the words found within the LBB; those words of Gygax and Arneson written 35 years ago."
With that I invite you to return soon for the follow-up post which will quote many of the insightful comments left by readers.

D&D Cover to Cover, part 36

This is a terrific series, Sham. Like Philotomy's musings, it's done more to educate and illuminate OD&D than almost anything I've read. And if I'm still learning a thing or two from examinations, I can only imagine the impact on gamers who don't know OD&D at all.
This is great stuff. Keep it up.

Thanks James! Hopefully I'll be able to compile the important parts of the series into something as useful as Philotomy's Musings.

Attention, Guardsman!
We have a rare privilege for you this week. As you know, you are about to be stationed alongside the Dark Angels, one of the most venerable and respected Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. We were initially going to write a report on fighting alongside these noble warriors, but Interrogator-Chaplain Zacharias had decided to honour us with some instructions of his own. Some annotation has been necessary for the sake of clarity.
Greetings, Mortal.
Be not afraid.* The Dark Angels are here to assist you.
Together, our faith** shall guide us to victory.
1: Do not speak to us
Some of you may wish to ask questions. Engagement in combat will prevent us from answering.***
2: Be alert for teleport flares
During combat, watch out for teleport flares and endeavour not to be present when they arrive.****
3: Avoid making permanent records of our actions
For any reason. *****
That is all, Guardsman.
Blessed day, Guardsman! We give praise to the Emperor and to His servants for sharing their wisdom with us. Please note that, as this Regimental Standard now contains the words of a Space Marine, it is officially graded as holy scripture (Grade 4, Leciticias Class) and as such destruction of your copy, accidental or otherwise, is punishable as iconoclasm and defilation.******
Best of luck!
++ Thought for the day: "The Traitor Can Seek No Salvation" ++
* Reg. Standard Note: Be in constant fear of the Emperor's judgement.
** Reg. Standard Note: Which is, despite contrary claims from certain seditious sources, completely religious and non-secular on the part of the Adeptus Astartes.
*** Reg Standard Note: Tales of the Dark Angels' many victories can be easily accessed in great tomes such as [REDACTED], [REDACTED], The Destruction of Caliban by Xenos Agents, Volume 1, and [REDACTED].
**** Reg. Standard Note: The combustive physical dispersal caused by two objects simultaneously co-locating can take weeks for Chapter serfs to remove from the pale bone colour of Deathwing Terminator armour. Please note that manufacturing costs incurred by loss of material this way will be added to the manufactorum workload of your listed next of kin.
***** Reg. Standard Note: We understand that some of you may wish to make sentimental records and pict captures of this occasion, but we have been informed that it is imperative for the Dark Angels to be allowed to operate in privacy. Instead, our brave battlefield artists have risked life and limb to produce several speculative paintings depicting how we think the battles in the coming days may look.
****** We would recommend sealing your copy to your chest – we're sure that the words of one of the Emperor's own sons should be capable of deflecting enemy fire with the same effectiveness as your flak armour.

I attended the 2009 British Mini Day held at Himley Hall in the West Midlands. It was a bigger event than previous years due to this year marking the 50th anniversary since the original Mini was first launched. The rest of my photos from the event can be found here.

A dozen of Rep. John Conyers' (D-Mich.) former female staffers are pushing back against reports of his alleged sexual misconduct and defending their ex-boss' reputation, the Huffington Post reported.
READ MORE: John Conyers Steps Down As House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member
"While we do not pass judgment on the specific allegations reported in the press or the women who brought them, our experiences with Mr. Conyers were quite different than the image of him being portrayed in the media. Mr. Conyers was a gentleman and never behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner in our presence. He was respectful, valued our opinions, challenged our thinking, and treated us as professionals," they stated.
The experiences of those ex-staffers with the embattled congressman contrasts with a picture of him that began emerging on Tuesday. It came to light that Conyers settled a sexual harassment claim with a former employee in 2015 for more than $27,000 with funds from his congressional budget. Former staff members also accused Conyers, 88, of making repeated sexual advances on female staff and allegedly transported other women to Washington with whom he was suspected of having affairs.

The high-ranking, longest serving member of Congress announced on Sunday that he's stepping down as the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee while he's under a probe by the House Ethics Committee for sexual harassment. The announcement came after House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called for "due process" in Conyers' case, calling him "an icon" who "has done a great deal to protect women." However, some in the Democratic Party are calling for his resignation. Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that an ethics investigation falls short of holding Conyers accountable.

Having problems with your Kenmore 23913 Progressive PowerMate Bagged Canister Vacuum ?
Power Head keeps cutting in and out while vacuuming???Canister motor keeps running but the power head starts and stops like there is a short or some loss of connection somewhere. Any ideas?
Answers :
My kenmore progressive vacuum had the same problem. The electrical terminal at the bottom of the wand was corroded. I used a flat head screw driver to scrape the female portion of the connector as best as I could. I then took off the plastic cover on the vacuum head that had the male portion of the connection. I used sand paper to clean the two connection prongs. I also spread them apart slightly for better connection (more interference) when the connection is made. I reassembled, and our vacuum is working fine now. I hope that helps.
The electrical terminal at the top of the extension wand may be loose or corroded. Unplug the vacuum and remove the wand from the hose assembly. Look at the 2 prongs and clean off any corrosion using a a Q-tip or scrape with a screwdiver if it's more persistent. After cleaning reconnect the wand to the hose and try it again. If the prongs are not corroded, they might be loose instead or they might not be aligned properly. If this is the case then bending the prongs very slightly may help realign them. The part that may be giving you the trouble is called the terminal cover (PN 8191782). It costs about $10 but the problem is knowing the procedure to actually replace the part. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW TO OPEN UP THE EXTENSION WAND TO REPLACE THE TERMINAL COVER ??

William Paul Thurston, (born October 30, 1946, Washington, D.C., U.S.—died August 21, 2012, Rochester, New York), American mathematician who won the 1982 Fields Medal for his work in topology.
Thurston was educated at New College, Sarasota, Florida (B.A., 1967), and the University of California, Berkeley (Ph.D., 1972). After a year at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, he joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1973–74) and then moved to Princeton University, where he remained until 1991. In 1992 he became director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley. Thurston later taught at the University of California, Davis (1996–2003), and at Cornell University (2003–12).
Thurston received the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw in 1983 for his work in the topology of two and three dimensions. He extended geometric ideas from the theory of two-dimensional manifolds to the study of three-dimensional manifolds. His geometrization conjecture says that every three-dimensional manifold is locally isometric to just one of a family of eight distinct types. Special cases were then proved, but only in 2006 was the first generally convincing proof published of the Poincaré conjecture in three dimensions, which was a major unresolved part of Thurston's geometrization conjecture. Grigori Perelman was awarded a Fields Medal in 2006 for this achievement, which built on earlier work of Richard Hamilton, and for his proof of the full geometrization conjecture. Thurston also took up ideas about the discrete isometry groups of hyperbolic three-space, first investigated by Henri Poincaré and later studied by Lars Ahlfors. Deformations of these groups were studied by Thurston, and further advances in quasi-conformal maps resulted.
Thurston was an enthusiast for an unusual style of mathematical writing that was strong on intuition and short on proofs. His publications included The Geometry and Topology of 3-Manifolds (1979) and Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology (1997).

But are all taxes equally bad for the economy? I've been arguing that low rates of taxes on Financial Transactions would be a very straightforward and easy to implement solution, and indeed there are 11 EU countries who are implementing some such scheme.
We are told that such schemes are unlikely to be effective, because the transactions will move elsewhere. Well, how about simply imposing a transaction tax on the large-value payment systems that are a central part of the European Union? Specifically, what about simply charging a transaction fee for using the TARGET2 system (TRans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System)?
The European Central Bank provides detailed information on its website about the value of transactions handled by the system. I have just downloaded all the data since 2009, and compiled a table where you can see just how much has been processed by the system, as well as by a second privately operated system called EURO 1. Here are the results.
There's also a breakdown by country, and you can see that 30.8% was handled in Germany, followed by 17.4% in France and 16.6% in Italy. Nearly all the transactions involve the 17 Eurozone countries.
Currently, the Eurosystem charges users with one of two parallel schemes:
- Recurring fixed charges and a fixed transaction fee
- Monthly fixed charge: €100.00
- Single transaction price: €0.80
- Recurring fixed charge and a variable transaction fee based on number of transactions
- Monthly fixed charge: €1,250.00
- Variable transaction price: volume-based between €0.60 and €0.125
Of course, the banks will no doubt scream that this is outrageous and that it will wreck the economy. But I would say that they are lucky that they don't have to pay the 2-3% fee that all the rest of us typically pay when we make a credit card payment in a foreign currency (the "foreign transaction fee").
The hundreds of billions of euros that could be generated by such a tax would go a long way to getting the Eurosystem back on its feet. The revenue could be divided between the 17 Eurozone countries depending simply on the population size of each country. And each country could use the revenue as it wishes - either to pay off government debt, restore public spending, or reduce taxes.
Seems reasonable to me.

I have lost track of how many times I've made this unfussy, delightful cake. If you often only have about 40 minutes to prepare, bake and serve a cake; let me tell you, this should be in your repertoire.
Traditionally baked in an iron skillet, I chose to bake mine in mini tart tins this time, for a pop-in-your-mouth effect. I love how they look individually and I think I am going bake them this way a lot.
I've written about them previously here, with link to the recipe included. I do hope you'll try making them!

The concept of unionism arises consequent upon the urgent need to foster the interests of the members of a particular association. Thus, the fundamental rights to freedom of thought and expression, association, movement, personal liberty and dignity remain the live-wire of unionism. By logic, it is sensible for us to have a union. So sensible is the concept of unionism amongst students that it has existed since 1884. So we as students of the Premier University should never be apologetic for our existence as an organization interested in the protection of its interest.
Despite the aforementioned, this does not change the fact that it seems that when our union moves one retaliatory foot forward, the consequence is a moonwalk back to our former position; so much so that our struggle has neither changed nor grown.
So if the problem is not in having a union in the first place, then it implies that anyone who proffers a solution that there should be no union of students in the university system, as students should rely solely on the directives of the school management, has been wrong since 1884. Thus, if you have a problem with a result, examine the tactics employed to achieve that result. Our tactics rest in the womb of the latin maxim: aluta continua Victoria ascerta, the rallying cry that originated from the mouth of Samora Machel against Portuguese colonial presence; the rallying cry of any protest. Does this mean that the solution to our problems is – no protest? Obviously not! Protest is to UI as blood is to man. The 1962 nation-wide student demonstration was championed by the University of Ibadan students, against the signing of the Anglo/Nigerian Defence Pact. Through their concerted peaceful demonstration, the students were able to get the post-independence Nigerian government to drop the idea of signing a defence pact with Britain. Yet today, we cannot successfully fight for power or water supply in our halls of residence within our campus. So, what should we be doing differently?
Our first recourse is nicely displayed in an article by a student of our own University, 'Kunle Adebajo titled Redefining the Concept of Campus Aluta. He states that school administrators are so used to our methods of unionism that they have mastered the art of quelling these methods. Hence, he proposes inter alia, that we grow to our "technological reality" by heavily (not lightly) employing the use of social media tools. Even the President of the National Union of Students in the UK pointed out in a 2010 interview with the BBC, that creating awareness through social media was an important tool in the struggle against increment in fees.
The writer also astutely points out the wisdom in utlising the media to our advantage. The management seems to have perfected this tactic to a point where retaliatory moves by students are reported by the media, in a manner that conjures up an image of a bunch student with high sentiments and hormones simply throwing tantrums like spoilt brats. We must realize that media houses are our friends and have the power to announce correctly our image and the intellectual intention behind our struggle; depicting to the world that we are mature in the management of our situation. In our century, social media is a potent weapon that can cause irreparable damage than whipping the buttocks of a professor.
Second, we need information; lots of it! Sometimes as students we consciously choose to forget that the Students' Union is not only an Aluta fighting machine but also a conduit pipe between the management and students. So often, I have been in protests where most students do not know the surrounding circumstances leading up to the protest. I ask a student "why are you protesting?" he replies and says "The school is always cheating us". I ask back "yes, but what happened?" he replies, clearly irritated, "baba, leave that one, if you no wan protest, go hide for your room like woman, you dey ask wetin happen as if say you no be Uite!" It is this lack of a united front that affects our ability to be taken seriously. This means we can even stop a protest from ever occurring if students are constantly kept up to date on the status of a problem and the surrounding circumstances. It is the job of the students' union to source out information through any lawful means possible; to make the management understand that it is the right of students to be kept abreast with the reasons for a problem and the progress being made. When you leave students in the dark, they'll leave the dark in violence with any untruthful light they find. This is the fundamental task of a union to be a bank of information.
My understanding of our union finds expression beyond the words stated above. I believe that our union should be solution-based and not problem-ridden for we pay not for problems but for solutions.
I choose not to run in circles. Let the solutions to out problems be consolidated.

The Healthy Living Channel was a rough start, but in many ways it broke new ground and paved the way for most health sites that followed. Most of Time Inc.'s sites were essentially top-down print content ported directly from the magazines. I set out to build a web presence that, while adding subscriptions to Health, was driven by functionality. To my knowledge Pathfinder's Healthy Living Channel was the first web site to offer searchable medical databases and an expert question-and-answer area. It was the first to attempt an online diagnostic tests. It was the first to put together a physical activity calorie-counter (I adapted one from the scientific literature) and to engineer the information into personalizable, if rudimentary, fitness plan. It was the first with a subject-specific newsfeed (which we splintered from Reuters and AP), and the first to cross-link those articles with relevant databased material (which I licensed from the authors of medical reference books and had databased in SQL).
I handled virtually all the product lifecycle, including the editorial and tech development. As there were no CMS tools available, I also oversaw the development of one in Perl. (And no, I don't recommend it.) Eventually Pathfinder's Healthy Living Channel was spun off as a separate company and sold to America Online.

Don't worry about depths anymore
Don't worry about depths anymore
In this example i will extend the MovieClip class and create custom methods similar to createEmptyMovieClip, createTextField and attachMovie. The difference is that you don't have to worry about the depth, you only need to provide the instance name. The new methods are the following:
easyCreateEmptyMovieClip(instanceName); easyCreateTextField(instanceName); easyAttachMovie(identifier, instanceName, [init_obj]);
First we add the easyCreateEmptyMovieClip method. Note that all the code will be placed on the first frame of a blank layer. Here's the code for the first method:
MovieClip.prototype.easyCreateEmptyMovieClip = function(instance_name) { var depth_count = 0; for (var clip in this) { if (typeof this[clip] == "movieclip" || this[clip] instanceof TextField) { if (this[clip].getDepth()>0) { depth_count++; } } } return this.createEmptyMovieClip(instance_name, ++depth_count); };
Just like the «original» method, the method returns the reference to the newly created clip.
