Icons, DEBUG and Translations
or some sort of Conformance and all the bit's I have missed so far :)
This page compleats Padre::Plugin::Cookbook series, It is just meant to be an aid, with a suggested layout and some ideas to speed you along your way, enjoy.
- Unlike the previous recipes which have covered, Plug-ins with dialogs, this is more concerned, with conformance, playing nice with Padre.
- The following is as a result of analysing Plug-ins for this page.
- The examples here, where relevant will build upon Cookbook, some relate to other Plug-ins as it is more pertinent to use them,
- Updated to Padre plug-in API 2.2
Initial thoughts, of what a Padre::Plugin should provide, critiques welcome.
Things to do to enable Plugin Manager to load your Plug-in
Plugin must have a Version
- For compliance you will need to have a version in your Padre::Plugin::Name.pm.
our $VERSION = '0.01';
- Plugin must have a Name Don't forget to include the following sub.
- ok I must be stupid but with out the return the POD just confused me, it's to terse.
- Wx::gettext(...) this is use to wrap all text to be displayed in a Wx-object, more to follow relating to translations.
- If you chose to use menu_plugins , you should consider the use of an ellipsis.
####### # Define Plugin Name required ####### sub plugin_name { return Wx::gettext('Plugin Cookbook'); }
You have a Choice, you can have a menu and sub menus, or just an item on the tools.
sub menu_plugins_simple { my $self = shift; return $self->plugin_name => [ 'About' => sub { $self->about_dialog }, # 'Another Menu Entry' => sub { $self->other_method }, # 'A Sub-Menu...' => [ # 'Sub-Menu Entry' => sub { $self->yet_another_method }, # ], ]; }
From My Plugin, covered in screen cast.
If you chose this option, you should consider the use of an ellipsis in plugin_name.
sub menu_plugins { my $self = shift; my $main = $self->main; # Create a manual menu item my $item = Wx::MenuItem->new( undef, -1, $self->plugin_name, ); Wx::Event::EVT_MENU( $main, $item, sub { local $@; eval { $self->load_dialog_main($main); }; }, ); return $item; }
see Padre::Plugin::FormBuilder
- Plugin must declare it's Interfaces, all Padre Modules should be included, just look at some other Plug-ins to see the pattern.
- Don't forget to include the following sub.
- Use the version number of Padre you are developing against, as shown below.
####### # Define Padre Interfaces required ####### sub padre_interfaces { return ( # Default, required 'Padre::Plugin' => '0.96', # used by Main, About and by Padre::Plugin::FormBuilder 'Padre::Wx' => '0.96', 'Padre::Wx::Main' => '0.96', 'Padre::Wx::Role::Main' => '0.96', 'Padre::DB' => '0.96', 'Padre::Logger' => '0.96', ); }
- draft 2 needs more work, in tiding up
bowtie Padre::Plugin POD, padre_interfaces, lists Padre modules and version numbers. 1, is it upto date 2, it appairs to me you only need, 'Padre::Plugin' => 0.nn, Alias You need to declare everything you use So if you use Padre::Logger, you need to declare that If you do $plugin->main->some_method you need to do Padre::Wx::Main etc You declare the parts of Padre that you use So when we break compatibility in one part of Padre, ALL the plugins that use it aren't loaded, but ONLY the plugins that use it are disabled bowtie but plugins still work and don't through any errors or warnings at present Alias You THINK they work They MIGHT work But you can't know that This is about failure modes We have a choice about how we want plugins to fail 1, Always have every plugin load, wait for each one to do something illegal in Padre and blow up, leaving it half-loaded or in some unknown state and maybe crashing Padre 2. Disable some plugins due to "compatibility" which really will still work, just in case one was using the specific part you changed In the first case, we have unknown and uncontrolled impact, and random side effects, any of which are potentially disastrous In the second case, plugin authors need to check they still work, bump the plugin's dependency hash past the change, and do a simple incremental release The second is much more responsible, and much safer when there's no firewall between the plugins and the core Firefox doesn't even give THAT much leeway Every plugin is automatically disabled, until they SPECIFICALLY test they still work We are at least doing piece-meal disable on a per class basis Which is more cpan friendly bowtie ok, so the the the modules version will be that of the Padre version it was created against, hence all module version numbers should be the same? Alias Usually yes But someone might have checked that one specific class hasn't changed in the place we care about further back Or one plugin might depend on another plugin And so on bowtie I will add this to cookbook wiki then, ok Alias But USUALLY they will all be the same bowtie the POD shows diffrent versions Alias Well, it IS theoretically possible bowtie so hidden some whare in your brain is an padre-plugin api version v padre version numbers then :) Alias api version is the same Padre::Plugin is just another class that the plugin "depends on" bowtie from POD, Padre::Plugin - Padre plug-in API 2.2 Alias oh, that That's mostly just a way of mentally marking time It's not really any kind of official thing bowtie yes it's confuses me Alias Basically it just says "We've completely rewritten it twice, and made some big additions twice since then" It's for humans, not machines A bit like Padre::Task 2.0 bowtie on reflection I got that, but I don't know what the padre version was then, and if I use that version will a plugin be back compatable Alias You don't have to You just say the most recent version of Padre you are SURE that the plugin works with And Padre itself tracks compatibility for you bowtie ie developed against :) Alias our $COMPATIBLE = '0.43'; That's in Padre::Plugin So at a guess, the last time I broke compatibility for ALL plugins was likely 2.0 landing bowtie POD shows 0.29 Alias Which means 2.0 probably arrived around about 0.43 bowtie can I do perl dev -t Class::Name, Class::Name2 Alias Nope bowtie only one :( all modules used by a Plugin that are not part of Padre core should be in sub plugin_disable even if required Alias All plugin modules should be Don't unload third party modules You have no idea if anything else needs them bowtie you mean Mouse for example Alias right Only unload the plugin's own modules bowtie ok if a Plugin over loads sub plugin_icon Alias You can overload pretty much anything you like bowtie you are so happy it must be your un-Birthday again :), thanks
- Some Plug-ins will require a plugin_enable method,
- Why because it's using an external resource, which is not being picked up via perl (M::I).
- The use of File::Which::which is OS independent, and already in Padre stack. Alias++
######### # We need plugin_enable # as we have an external dependency ######### sub plugin_enable { my $pdflatex_exists = 0; # Tests for external file in Path if ( File::Which::which('pdflatex') ) { $pdflatex_exists = 1; } return $pdflatex_exists; }
From Padre::Plugin::LaTeX
Padre::Plugin::SpellCheck dose not need this as it depends upon Text::Aspell which won't install with out Aspell files being present.
- Plugin_disable is a must so that we can load and unloaded our Plug-in repeatedly, using Tools -> Reload All Plug-ins.
Don't forget to include all the relevant sections.
- Wx::Dialogs, as shown
- your plugin modules, as shown,
- other cpan modules that are pertinent to only your plugin, such as sockets or demons, not shown.
- boot n braces, as shown, this is a new development, run SUPER plugin_disable, an Ode to before :)
# Child modules we need to unload when disabled use constant CHILDREN => qw{ Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe01::Main Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe01::FBP::MainFB Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe02::Main Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe02::FBP::MainFB Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe03::Main Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe03::FBP::MainFB Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe03::About Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe03::FBP::AboutFB Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe04::Main Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe04::FBP::MainFB Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe04::About Padre::Plugin::Cookbook::Recipe04::FBP::AboutFB }; sub plugin_disable { my $self = shift; # Close the dialog if it is hanging around $self->clean_dialog; # Unload all our child classes for my $package (CHILDREN) { require Padre::Unload; Padre::Unload->unload($package); } $self->SUPER::plugin_disable(@_); return 1; }
Why a composed Method you ask, in Cookbook it just makes sense, if you have more than one dialog and we have more than two.
######## # Composed Method clean_dialog ######## sub clean_dialog { my $self = shift; # Close the main dialog if it is hanging around if ( $self->{dialog} ) { $self->{dialog}->Hide; $self->{dialog}->Destroy; delete $self->{dialog}; } return 1; }
- from Padra you could use the blue morpho

OS Support,
don't forget to consider, your Plug-in should ideally work on all of the following platforms.
- Linux
- 64 bit
- i386/i686
- Microsoft
- Vista
- Apple
- Lion
- Snow Leopard
- Leopard
- Plug-in builds so it can be install in local repository
- We recommend using Module::Include at present, and suggest following in Makefile.PL
- The use of Module::Include also enables the use of our plug-in via perl dev -a
- We recommend using Module::Include at present, and suggest following in Makefile.PL
- Don't forget to include all the Perl modules, you require from CPAN
- if install_share appears not to work, check your MANIFEST, or just re-name it to .old.
Tip you can use <Ctrl+2> to view required modules from CPAN you have used in a file.

The newly passed state medical marijuana law has city officials concerned about dispensaries being placed in the city and their effects on neighborhoods.
Illicit sales of marijuana are at the center of much of the city's violence, and police officials are concerned that the new law could mean an increase in targets for home invasions and other violence.
"The voters have spoken and the commonwealth will allow medical uses of marijuana," City Manager Michael V. O'Brien said. "That horse has left the barn. Now the devil will be in the details as to how these regulations will be drafted by the state and what controls, oversight and enforcement provisions will be contained within. Like all, we are very sympathetic toward all that face such medical conditions that warrant this type of medical treatment."
The Nov. 6 ballot question making Massachusetts a medical marijuana state says 35 dispensaries can be set up throughout the state. The state Department of Public Health is working on regulations.
Some communities have discussed bylaws to block the distribution centers from coming to them. At a recent town meeting, Wakefield passed a bylaw prohibiting medical marijuana centers in town.
The Worcester City Council has asked the city administration for a report on the state-sanctioned marijuana distribution centers and the associated zoning, permitting and other questions involved.
Councilor-at-Large Konstantina B. Lukes requested the report, believing that Worcester will most likely be a landing spot for one of the centers.
"Worcester cannot avoid being one of those locations," she said. She believes it will be at least a couple of years before the measure is fully enacted, but has concerns about what a dispensary will do to the character of a neighborhood.
"The most sensible thing is to put the dispensaries in hospitals, but I'm not sure hospitals are going to want that responsibility," Ms. Lukes said.
Mr. O'Brien understands the ballot question passed because voters had compassion for people, but said those who voted "yes" to the ballot question might not be the same people who would vote "yes" to a dispensary being placed near their homes.
The city has a multi-departmental internal team reviewing the issue. Included will be discussions with the council and community about their concerns. There are myriad questions city officials have about such things as zoning and enforcement of violations or abuse at the facilities.
"We are rightfully concerned. All the negative potential of this very well-intentioned legislation will manifest itself in our cities and towns," Mr. O'Brien said. "The promulgation of these regulations must be closely watched and all must participate in the public hearings and public comment periods."
Police officials are waiting to see what regulations and controls are put into place.
One special concern voiced by some police officials and by members of the vice squad is the regulation concerning the hardship portion of the law. It permits people to grow their own 60-day supply of the drug if they are allowed marijuana for medicinal use.
There have been home invasions in the city in which the theft of marijuana was a motive in the crime, the chief said. Of course those cases involved the illegal sale of the drug, but police are concerned people growing marijuana for medicinal purposes could become targets as well.
"The biggest safety concern is, are people going to become a target?" Chief Gemme said. "Also, are people going to grow it and sell it?"
The chief hopes the state takes input from local law enforcement agencies while putting the regulations together. His officials wonder how a 60-day supply of the drug is regulated for people allowed to have it under the law.
Areas surrounding dispensaries in other states with medical marijuana laws also have experienced crime at the facilities and around them, he said.
"This is a reality and we have to come up with a way to handle this new law but also enforce crime and keep the community safe," Chief Gemme said.
Ms. Lukes said there is still the question of how the federal government will handle the new law. Federal law says marijuana is an illegal substance, but it is unclear how the federal agencies will deal with the new law here.
"This (law) is fraught with landmines," she said.
The legalization of medical marijuana and the ability for people to grow it interrupt an illegal trade that has been profitable for those involved, Ms. Lukes said.
She anticipates a turf war between those who grow it under the new law and those involved in the illegal side of pot growing and selling. More violence could be the end result, she said.
There is a concern about who will receive medicinal marijuana. Opponents of the law argued there are loopholes in the law and there are too many possibilities for people to receive medicinal marijuana.
"I believe, along with many other people, that this is a backdoor way to legalize marijuana altogether," Ms. Lukes said.

A fracture is a break in any bone in the body. There are different kinds of fractures:
- The bone may be fractured but stable, which is known as a simple fracture or a closed fracture.
- Bone fragments may be sticking through the skin, which is known as a compound fracture or an open fracture.
Fractures may also be described as:
- Chip ( avulsion fracture )—A small piece of bone is broken away from the main bone and usually attached to a ligament or tendon.
- Compression—The bone is compressed together, such as vertebrae.
- Comminuted—The bone is in pieces.
- Greenstick—One side of the bone is broken and the other side is bent but not broken.
- Intra-articular—The joint is affected.
- Growth plate fracture —A child's developing tissue is fractured.
- Transverse—The bone is broken in a horizontal line that is perpendicular to the surface of the bone cortex.
- Oblique—The bone is broken in a line that is less than a 90° angle to the surface of the bone cortex.
- Spiral—The line of the fracture forms a spiral.
- Stress—A thin fracture line occurs due to overuse rather than a single traumatic incident.
|The Bones of the Body
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Fractures are caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma includes:
- Falls
- Twists
- Blows
- Collisions
Trauma is a physical force applied to the bone that the bone cannot withstand. Stronger bones can withstand more physical force than weaker bones.
Risk Factors
Fractures are more common in older adults.
Factors that increase the risk of fracture include:
- Postmenopause
- Decreased muscle mass
- Osteoporosis —decreased bone mass which weakens bones and affects both men and women
- Certain medication used to treat type 2 diabetes
- Accidents or violence
- Participation in sports
- Malnutrition
- Certain chronic diseases
- Child abuse
- Inactivity
- Conditions that increase the risk of falls, such as nerve or muscle disorders
- Certain congenital bone conditions—rare
Symptoms of a fracture include:
- Pain, often severe
- Instability of the area around the break
- Inability to use the limb or affected area normally
- Swelling or bruising
- Numbness
- Fainting
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured yourself. The injured area will be examined.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Initial Care
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep the fracture in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, or cast. A sling may be necessary to help stabilize the arm.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. The doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
- Without surgery—anesthesia will be used to decrease pain while the doctor moves the pieces back into place
- With surgery—pins, screws, plates, rods, or wires may be needed to reconnect the pieces and hold them in place
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, a specialist may be needed. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
Healing and Rehabilitation
Healing time ranges from three weeks for a simple finger fracture to many months for a complicated fracture of a long bone. All fractures require rehabilitation exercises to regain muscle strength and joint motion.
Possible Complications
- Delayed union—It takes longer than usual to heal, but does heal.
- Nonunion—The bone does not heal and needs some special treatment.
- Infection—This is more likely to happen after an open fracture or surgery.
- Nerve or artery damage—This usually occurs as a result of severe trauma.
- Compartment syndrome—This is severe swelling in the spaces of the limbs that causes damage to body tissues.
- Late arthritis—This may happen if the surface of a joint is badly damaged.
You can reduce your chances of getting a fracture:
- Avoid putting yourself at risk for an accident or other trauma to the bone.
- Do weight-bearing exercise regularly to build and maintain strong bones.
- Do strengthening exercises regularly to build strong muscles and prevent falls.
- Wear protective equipment when playing sports.
- Use proper fitness techniques.

2008 Boy Scout Requirement Changes
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
|For changes that occuried on August 1, 2008, and January 1, 2009, see the 2009 Boy Scout Requirement Changes.
Highlights of the Boy Scout Requirements changes for 2008 are below. You can also go directly to the updated requirements pages:
|Boy Scouts

Requirement 9 has changed.
It now reads: "Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates to your personal safety on outings and in your neighborhood. Describe what a bully is and how you should respond to one."
The buddy system is a way for Scouts to look after one another, especially during outdoor adventures. When your troop goes swimming, for example, each Scout will be assigned a buddy. You keep track of what your buddy is up to, and he knows at all times where you are and how you are doing. Now and then a Scout leader might call for a buddy check. That means you must immediately hold up the hand of your buddy. If anyone is missing, everyone will know it right away. The buddy system should always be used when a troop or patrol is hiking, camping, and participating in any aquatics activities. It's a way of sharing the good times and preventing the bad. You can use the buddy system when you go places in your community, as well, to help keep yourself and your buddies safe.
A bully is someone who wants to hurt another person. Bullying can be physical, verbal, emotional, social, behavioral, or any combination. Bullying can also take place just about anywhere: on the bus, at school, at soccer practice, even online, via the Internet. However, bullying can be stopped. Help put an end to the bullying by taking action first yourself.
If ignoring the bully doesn't work, stand up for yourself with words. Rehearse what you want to say to that you will feel in control of your emotions when you confront the bully.
Tell the bully how hurtful it feels to be bullied, and ask why you are the target. Ask the bully to stop. Sometimes, agreeing with the bully and having a ready response will work ("So what if I have a face full of zits. What's it to you?").
Hang out with a couple of friends; try not to be alone.
Tell an adult you trust, such as a parent, teacher, or coach.
This requirement is described on page 57 of the 2008 edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.
Requirement 12a has changed.
It now reads: "Demonstrate how to care for someone who is choking."
During a meal, a man lurches from his chair and clutches his throat. His face turns read and he seems unable to breathe.
Ask, "Are you chokeing?" If the victim nods yes and he cannot speak, cough, or breathe, perform back blows and abdominal thrusts.
Do not interfere with a person who is conscious and can speak, cough, or breathe. He is still getting air into his lungs. Encourage him to cough up the object, and be ready to administer first aid if it is needed. Have someone call for help.
Food caught in the throat is like a cork stuck in the neck of a plastic bottle. Nothing can get in, but squeeze the bottle the right way and the cork will pop out. That's the principle behind using back blows and abdominal thrusts. Here's how to do it:
- 1. If the child or adult is conscious, give a series of five back blows. From behind, place one arm across the person's chest and lean forward. Firmly strike the person's back with the palm of your hand. Follow the five back blows with abdominal thrusts as described in steps 2 and 3.
- 2. Stand behind the victim. Put your arms around the waist and clasp your hands together. The knuckle of one thumb should be just above the victim's navel but below the rib cage.
- 3. Thrust your clasped hands inward and upward with enough force to pop loose the obstruction.
- 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the obstruction clears or medical help arrives.
If a choking person is very large or has lost consciousness, use this method:
- 1. Lay him on the floor and sit straddling his thighs.
- 2. Place the heel of one hand on the victim's upper abdomen, slightly above his navel but below the rib cage.
- 3. Place your other hand on top of the first and press upward with quick thrusts.
- 4. With your index finger, probe the mouth of an unconscious victim to remove any obstructions. Be ready to start rescue breathing.
- 5. Repeat this procedure until the obstruction pops loose or medical help arrives.
If you ever choke on food and cannot breathe, clutch your throat with your hand. That's the universal sign for choking, and it might bring someone to your aid. If there is no one nearby, perform the abdominal thrusts on yourself by pulling your fist into your upper abdomen, or you can bend over the back of a chair and force it against your belly.
Thrusts to the abdomen can cause rib fractures and other injuries. Use only mannequins or other training devices to practice or demonstrate abdominal thrusts.
This requirement is described on pages 296-297 of the 2008 edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.
Second Class
Requirement 8b is new.
It reads: "Explain the three R's of personal safety and protection."
Be aware of the three R's to help ensure your personal safety and to help protect yourself.
- Recognize that anyone could be a child molester. Child molesters can be very skilled at influencing children, so be aware of situations that could lead to abuse.
- Resist advances made by child molesters to avoid being abused. Just say no, and don't be embarrassed to run away, scream, or cause a commotion.
- Report any molestation or attempted molestation to parents or other trusted adults. Anytime someone does something to you that your instincts tell you is wrong, or that makes you feel threatened or uncomfortable, tell someone you trust. It's OK to ask for help.
Most relationships with others can be warm and open. That is because they are built on trust. A pat on the back, a hug of encouragement, or a firm handshake are ways we can show people we care about them.
However, it is a sad fact that some adults and teenagers use their size and their power over others to abuse them. You need to know about abuse so that you will understand what to do if you are ever threatened.
Those who abuse young people know they are doing something wrong. They usually try to keep their actions a secret from other adults. They might frighten their victims to prevent them from telling anyone what is happening. They might try to make the abused person feel that he or she is to blame.
No one should live in fear of abuse. You do not have to let people touch you in ways you find uncomfortable. If you are ever asked to do something you know is wrong, you have the right to refuse.
Protecting Yourself From Sexual Abuse Most sexual abuse can be prevented if young people know and follow these three R's:
- Recognize.
- Resist.
- Report.
Recognize. Recognizing a situation that could become sexual abuse can help you get away before you are in serious danger.
People who sexually abuse young people are called molesters. Most often, the molester is known by his or her victim. The molester might be anyone--a family member, schoolteacher, religious leader, or youth group leader.
An adult attempting sexual abuse might being by touching you in ways that are confusing. He or she might try to touch your groin area and pretend it was an accident. You might be asked to pose for photographs in your underwear or swimming suit, and then in no clothing at all.
Some adults or older youths might try to use your natural curiosity about sex as an opportunity to attempt sexual abuse. Sex is a normal bodily function you need to understand. Be on guard around anyone who makes it seem dirty or secretive.
Resist. If anyone ever attempts to do something to your body that makes you feel bad or that you know is wrong, you have the right to stop them. Run, shout, or make a scene in public to protect yourself. Faced with resistance, most molesters will back off.
Report. Anytime you believe that someone has tried to abuse you or someone else, report it. Talk to a trusted adult or call an abuse hot line--you can get the number from the phone book or by dialing an operator. Abuse is an adult-sized problem. By talking about it with adults, you can let them solve it.
For more information on dealing with abuse, you and your parents or guardian can read together the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide, found inside the cover of your Boy Scout Handbook.
This requirement is described on pages 108 and 378-379 of the 2008 edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.
First Class
Requirement 12 is new.
It reads: "Describe the three things you should avoid doing related to the use of the Internet. Describe a cyberbully and how you should respond to one."
Computers allow access to a vast amount of knowledge. By logging onto the Internet, you can contact sources of information around the world and download material about any subject. You might already be using the Internet for schoolwork, hobbies, or simply for enjoyment. You can also develop online friendships with Scouts anywhere on the globe.
For all of its benefits, though, the Internet can also present hazards you should know about and avoid. Most people using the Internet are friendly and honest. However, there are some who use the Internet to take advantage of others. There are also Web sites with content that is unsuitable for young people. Use the following guidelines to protect your privacy and gain the most good from your time online.
Whenever you go online: (1) Don't respond to inappropriate messages or Web sites. If you stumble across information or images that you don't understand, it's OK to talk about it with your parent or guardian; (2) Don't share information such as your address, telephone number, school name, or your parents' work address or telephone number, and never send any photos via the Internet unless you have permission; (3) Never agree to meet anyone who has contacted you online unless your parent or guardian goes with you.
Another hazard of the Internet is called the cyberbully. A cyberbully uses electronic communications such as the Internet to harass, threaten, and harm others. Some tactics that cyberbullies use include dissing (spreading damaging gossip about a person), harassment (repeatedly sending hateful messages), and impersonation (pretending to be someone else and posting damaging information to harm another's reputation).
If you feel you are the victim of a cyberbully, do not retailiate. Ask the cyberbully to stop. Do not make your message aggressive or emotional. Let the bull know that you will take other steps if the abuse does not stop. If that does not help, tell your parent or guardian right away. Cyberbullies can't be seen when they are online; this gives them a false sense of security. That they don't know is that they can be found out, caught, and even punished.
The best way to protect yourself is to be a good online citizen. Don't post information that could be used against you or other people. Stay away from sites that tolerate and encourage bullying. Be kind online.
This requirement is described on pages 165 and 359 of the 2008 edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.

Lots of people have seen Prof. Majid Rashidi's windmill at Progressive Field, but far fewer understand it and some of the energy policy issues it brings up. The windmill is based upon recognition of the dependency of wind power on wind velocity. Mechanical power contained in a stream of wind, and subsequently captured by a typical horizontal axis turbine, is mathematically proportional to the velocity of the wind raised to the third power. Therefore, if the wind speed increases by a factor of 2, for example, the wind power increases by a factor of 8 — 2 raised to the power 3 is equal to 8. So if one day the wind speed is 10 miles per hours, and on another day the wind speed becomes 20 miles per hour, the power generated by any given wind turbine during the second day will be 8 times higher than that of the first day. The role of the helical structure in Prof. Rashidi's windmill is to increase the natural wind speed before it reaches the turbines. The structure deflects the wind and increases the wind speed by a factor of about 1.65. This, in turn, results in an increase of power imparted to the wind turbines by a factor of 1.65 x 1.65 x 1.65 = 4.49. This has an intuitive explanation, too. If, for a moment, we imagine that the wind deflecting structure is removed from the system, some of the stream lines of the wind flow will never reach the turbines but rather will simply pass through the two columns of the turbines installed in the grooves defined by the helical structure; therefore, all the energy potential in that wind will not be captured. Prof. Rashidi's windmill has some serious advantages beyond simple potential for displacing new bulk power generation. One advantage is cost. Each turbine currently costs about $10,000. On the basis of the principles I've just explained, the four turbines on Progressive Field produce the same amount of power as would 16 equivalently-sized, standalone turbines. Simple math dictates that even if the helical structure were to cost $60,000, the cost of Prof. Rashidi's windmill would still be $90,000 less than standalone turbines that would produce an equivalent amount of power. (For those of you who like to do the math, it would be $160,000 for 16 turbines at $10,000 each, or $100,000 for a Rashidi system with one $60,000 helical structure feeding four, $10,000 turbines.)

Windmill at Progressive Field is much more than window dressing
Another advantage is that it enables wind turbines to be set up in cramped settings found in urban areas. It is not possible to set up large wind turbines like the one at Case Western Reserve University in most urban settings. But the seriously cool advantage is that Prof. Rashidi's windmill makes wind power far more viable in low-wind places such as Cleveland. Wind turbines need minimum wind speeds, below which they are basically useless. Unfortunately, in Cleveland we have a lot of days when the wind never reaches those minimum speeds. But by effectively increasing the wind speed, Prof. Rashidi's windmill significantly reduces the number of such days, making wind power a much more viable option. It is a lot like bringing some of the energy potential found in Texas to Cleveland. This has nothing to do with either cost or increasing efficiency, but rather with making wind turbine useful in low wind-speed areas. While Prof. Rashidi's innovation is interesting and valuable in its own right, it also exemplifies a policy issue I plan to explore in my future blog entries. Innovation is necessary for economic growth and development, but so is the adoption and diffusion of innovation. What are the social and institutional impediments to the diffusion of not only this windmill, but similar energy innovations throughout the country? We'll explore those in another blog soon.

Please keep in mind that all our jewellery is handmade to your specified metal and size choices. Ordering a few pieces to try, keeping the one(s) you like and returning the rest is something we cannot support. We don't stock anything, every piece of jewellery is made only to your requirements. Thank you very much for understanding.
Our aim is to ensure you can fully enjoy your Abiza piece and we are 100% committed to your satisfaction.
As long as usage instructions are followed, we do not expect any problems with our jewellery. However, in exceptional cases when you face a problem, we will fully support you. Please get in touch with us.
We will carefully investigate the issue. If we conclude that it is related to a part or craftsmanship failure, we will either repair or replace it, ensuring it is as good as new, at no additional cost to you. This is valid within 6 MONTHS of purchase.
In case you need any repairs, please contact us. We will do our best to help.
We recommend removing your jewellery when you shower, bathe or engage in heavy exercise particularly in the sea or swimming pools. Avoid direct contacts with chemicals, such as perfumes, creams or any other liquids.
Use a soft, lint free cloth to keep your Sterling Silver, Gold Filled or Gold jewellery. Widely available mini polish pads for gold and silver are brilliant for cleaning.
All pieces should ideally be stored in the original Abiza box. It will keep them tangle free and protected from moisture. If not possible, we suggest to keep them in zip lock bags, in a dark and cool place.
All gemstones should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth. Avoid hot water and harsh chemicals. Some gemstones (Ethiopian Opal, top of the list) are very sensitive to moisture since they can absorb water. This may result in a change in colour and flash.
Gemstone bracelets
In our gemstone bracelets, we use a flexible beading wire, tested to withstand 14 pounds (6.4kg) of load. Unless forcefully pulled, it will never break. In case you get your gemstone bracelet caught onto something (watch door handles!), it may not break but the beading wire could get damaged. Very easily noticed as it will feel looser and kinked. We recommend you get in touch with us if you have any doubts or concerns. Making a simple repair at that stage is much easier than repairing after it completely breaks. If broken completely, in most of the cases some beads may be lost!
Please check our processing times! We do our best to keep it up to date always. You can find approximate delivery times to various countries under our shipping policy.
Customization is specific to the piece. In the listing description there will be instructions titled "HOW TO ORDER".

We never include any document with price information inside your package. You can easily print out your VAT receipt on your Etsy orders page, if needed.
Please remember to change the shipping address to receiver's!
Contact us right away! If you give us the correct address, we will create your shipping label accordingly. Please note, when you receive "shipment notification" email from Etsy, it will still show the wrong address, because we can't change your address recorded on your Etsy order.
If your order has already shipped, we can't intercept anymore. However, we will give you the necessary info so that you can contact your local postal service for a redirection. Success depends on your postal service. If the package is returned to us, we will reship it to an address of your choice. We will have to charge you the re-shipping cost.

However, in case of any particular requests about your jewellery, please leave us a note in the "note to seller" section during checkout and we will do our best to make it happen!
Please remember, we are working with natural stones, uncut most of the time. Please try to limit your specification to one attribute.
If a photo is a must for you, then please request a custom order. In this case please make a custom order request. We will send you photos of a selection of stones to choose from. Custom charges will apply and it might take longer to dispatch.
- What is Gold Filled?
It is a great economical alternative to solid gold. An actual layer of gold is pressure bonded to another metal. GF is not to be confused with gold plating as it literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. GF is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colours. As a matter of fact, anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled.
- Is your jewellery Nickel-Free?
All our jewellery is 100% nickel free!
- Are you using genuine gemstones?
Yes. All our gemstones are genuine. We may have a few exceptions. In those cases, it is clearly stated in the listing
- Are your materials sourced Ethically?
Absolutely yes! We put extra effort in ensuring we keep it that way.

FDA expands approval of J&J prostate cancer drug
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration on Monday expanded approval of Johnson & Johnson's prostate cancer pill Zytiga for men with an earlier stage of the disease.
The agency says Zytiga is now approved for late-stage prostate cancer patients who have not yet received chemotherapy, based on study results showing it can extend life by up to five months when taken by men in that group.
The FDA previously approved the drug in April 2011 for men with prostate cancer who have already taken the chemotherapy drug docetaxel.
Zytiga works by decreasing the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone stimulates the growth of prostate tumors, and treatment often includes drugs aimed at cutting the body's testosterone production. While older drugs can block about 90 percent of the hormone, scientists say Zytiga blocks virtually all of it, which can help slow the disease.
The FDA approved the new indication based on a J&J study of 1,088 men with late-stage prostate cancer who had not already received chemotherapy.
The typical patient taking Zytiga survived five months longer than the typical patient taking a fake pill, or placebo.
When the study was stopped, the median time until cancer worsened in the group getting dummy pills was about eight months. Those on Zytiga were faring much better, so researchers could not yet report how long it would take their cancers to worsen.
FDA cancer drugs chief Dr. Richard Pazdur said the FDA's approval "provides patients and health care providers the option of using Zytiga earlier in the course of treatment."
Common side effects with the drug include fatigue, joint swelling, diarrhea, vomiting, cough and shortness of breath.
Shares of Johnson & Johnson rose 10 cents to $70.55 in afternoon trading Monday.

Clogau Stores
We create meaningful jewellery that celebrates the fragile beauty of our flora and fauna, all of which contain rare Welsh gold - the gold of royalty for over 100 years.
This item has been discontinued but may be available in our Outlets stores or retail partners.
Dancing through Wales's broadleaf woodlands, over its dense mountainous areas and across its breathtaking coastline, is a light summer breeze – or 'Awelon' in Welsh. As ancient as the landscape itself, the presence of the Welsh breeze is revealed by the delicate motion of one of its ancient wooded ancestors, the trees.This beautifully handcrafted sterling silver Awelon bracelet features 3 peridots and measures 19cm long, fastening with a lobster clasp. Contained within the rose gold leaves is rare Welsh gold, making the Awelon bracelet truly unique.
This is a beautiful delicate bracelet which I bought to compliment other pieces of Clogau jewellery. Unfortunately it doesnt do this as it looks like a silver bracelet. There are only 2 tiny, really tiny rose gold leaves which you cant really see unless you get up close. I expected more than 2 really tiny leaves for the price I paid, it needs another 2 or 3 at least so you can identify rose gold on there. Also you cant adjust it, there is only 1 place to fasten it so if your wrists are quite slender this may fall off.
This amazing bracelet is my first item of Clogau jewellery. Bought as a surprise by my partner on a magical weekend away. Absolutely fell in love with the collection and hoping to have the ring for my birthday in August. The story and that its my birthstone made it even more personal to me. Amazing personal service by Karen at Nichols Crickhowell, who took the time to talk me through the collection to help make my choice.
Bought as a treat to myself. Its pretty, delicate and very comfortable to wear. Great for everyday wear. Just love it.
Thankyou x
As always ordering and receiving the item was easy, well packaged and promptly delivered.
I whole heartedly recommend this company and its products
I already have and love the necklace and love having the bracelet to go with it.
Clogau have the very best speedy delivery, and their jewellery is second to none. I now have 10 pieces of Clogau. Each delivery makes me as excited as the first piece I bought, and I always get a surprise when I open their lovely jewellery box and find (what I consider to be) the very best glittering, sparkling jewellery one can buy. I would recommend any one with doubts not to hesitate BUY CLOGAU.
Excellent service, packaging was superb, delivered next day by 9 am . The bracelet is beautiful and delicate. Thank you
Delicate and beautiful. The start of my collection of Clogau pieces!
I do love this bracelet, it is different and really pretty. My only reason for giving 4 stars rather than 5 is that I have small wrists and hands so anything over 17cm will slip right over my hand and fall off. I am used to this but found the other loops are too smal to fasten the bracelet further down, so I had to add an extra loop from old jewellery further up then chain (a bit of DIY) so it would fit and not have to physically compromise or change the original links. Maybe clogau could offer smaller size options for us little people in the future?
My wife likes this bracelet very much. Beautiful and Shining item.
As always made to very high standard. Very beautiful item of jewellery, nobody designs jewellery like Clogau.
Love the bracelet, it looks elegant and I am happy with my purchase.
Very pleased, excellent quality, as always, lovely design and quick delivery, would recommend.
Just beautiful, do not hesitate to order and the same goes for the necklace.
We give you a 14 day "no quibble" money-back guarantee on all items except earrings, soldered items, engraved items and opened fragrances. So if you're unsatisfied with your Clogau jewellery or watch for any reason, you can return it unworn and in its original packaging, and within our return dates, for a full refund or exchange.
Organise a return online or call us on 0345 606 88 77. Read more about our returns policy.
There are 3 main ways to care for your jewellery:
• Ensure that it doesn't come into contact with household solutions such as hair spray, perfumes, cleaning products, bleach, etc.
• Store it in a compartmentalised, anti-tarnish jewellery box to avoid scratches and tarnishing
• Periodically polish it with a soft jewellery polishing cloth with tarnish preventative to help keep your gold and silver pieces lustrous and shining.
Every order we send will arrive in an anonymous package, without any Clogau branding. So don't worry if you're buying a gift for someone, we won't spoil the surprise.
Orders of £249.99 or less are sent by Royal Mail Recorded Signed For™ (these usually arrive within a few days but can take up to 12 days on rare occasions, excluding Sundays). You can upgrade your postage to next working-day delivery for £7.00.
All orders of £250 or more to the UK are despatched via Royal Mail next working-day delivery to guarantee delivery the next working day (excluding weekends) if you place your order before 4pm and all of your items are in stock. All deliveries require a signature on delivery. During very busy periods (such as Christmas) your order may be despatched the next working day.
Orders delivered to non-UK addresses cost £30 and are posted by FedEx International. A signature is required on delivery.
Yes, even if it is your first order with us.
Yes, but you must have an online account with us (which is free of course). Simply click the 'Order Tracking/History' link once you have signed in to your account.
A gift box adds the perfect finishing touch, and creates that all-important first impression – and our Clogau gift boxes do just that with a combination of black card, black tissue paper, a golden bow and a message card for just £5.50.
Your gift can be delivered either to you or direct to the recipient with a card containing a message from you. You can choose to have it delivered flat-packed or fully wrapped.
Gift boxes come in two sizes. Large items such as bangles, bracelets, necklaces, and watches are gift-boxed in the larger box. Small items such as earrings, pendants, rings, cufflinks, charms and brooches are gift-boxed in the smaller box.
Yes. Every piece of Clogau jewellery contains rare Welsh gold. To certify this, our jewellery is stamped with a unique Welsh Dragon mark and a Clogau logo.
All jewellery items and watches come with one year manufacturer's warranty as standard. However, you can also register online for extended 2 year warranty cover within 30 days of purchase.
Our extended warranty scheme covers your Clogau jewellery or watch against all manufacturing faults for two years, no matter where you purchased it from, when you register your item/s with us.
Watches normally have an ATM classification which relates to their degree of water resistance.
ATM is a measure of atmospheric pressure at sea level. 3ATM means the watch can withstand 3 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level and 5ATM to 5 times the atmospheric pressure at sea level. This can sometimes cause confusion as some people interpret this as how far the watch can be taken underwater before it is compromised. This is incorrect. As rain water splashes against your watch it hits it with a degree pressure. This is what the ATM measurement relates to; the pressure of splashes against your watch.
Clogau watches have a water-resistant rating of either:
3ATM or 30m (3 Bar)
5ATM or 50m (5 Bar)
These make them suitable for everyday use and resistant to modest water/rain splashes. They are not suitable for swimming, showering, bathing, diving or water sports so you will need to remove your Clogau watch before taking part in these activities. It's also important to remove your watch before entering a steam room or a sauna. Extreme heat can cause damage to the watch seals and condensation can form inside the watch.
Please note: any water damage to your watch is not covered under warranty.
You can extend your pendant or necklace by up to 4 inches with our selection of extension chains in different gold and silver types.

Life Extension Specially Coated Bromelain 500 mg. - 60 Enteric-Coated Tablets
Life Extension's Specially Coated Bromelain formulation has been well-studied for its ability to help reduce the expression of inflammatory factors. Approved for use in Germany since 1993, bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple stems. Recent studies suggested its proteolytic activity can contribute to supporting better joint health by aiding in maintaining healthy pathways of chemicals related to normal tissue function. Now, sufferers of unwanted joint changes can benefit from evidence that specially coated bromelain-based formulations may significantly help promote healthy joint function.
What are Life Extension's quality control standards?Life Extension uses only premium quality vitamins and other ingredients. Their dedication to excellence insists that their nutritional supplements meet the highest standards and criteria.
That is why Life Extension insists on purchasing only the highest quality raw materials from all over the world, primarily from leading US, Japanese and European sources. Life Extension goes one step further by using advanced analytical methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, to ensure their products meet label claims for potency and purity. Life Extension tests its raw materials using US Pharmacopeia and other exacting pharmaceutical assay standards.
Why are Life Extension's nutritional supplements more advanced than other dietary supplements?The unique ingredients included in Life Extension's products are often years ahead of the products sold by commercial vitamin companies. Life Extension scientists analyze thousands of scientific studies every week to make sure their health-promoting formulas include the most advanced life extending ingredients in the world. The Foundation interacts with the world's foremost gerontology researchers in order to obtain inside information about antiaging breakthroughs before these findings are published. The Life Extension Foundation funds the most advanced anti-ischemia laboratory in the world, where antioxidant vitamins, hormones, and pharmaceutical agents are used to prevent free radical induced cellular damage.
Are Life Extension's vitamins natural or synthetic?Life Extension carries a combination of natural and synthetic vitamins and supplements. Some advertising statements would have them believe that "natural" is better, but natural supplements in some instances contain impurities such as pollen and naturally occurring hormones that can cause problems for some people. Synthetic nutrients are manufactured to be chemically identical (with the exception of vitamin E) to those extracted from natural sources, and are the most pure nutrient vitamins.
What does Life Extension do to ensure the quality of its products?They focus on three specific areas.
Does the label accurately list exactly what's in the bottle?Yes. All active ingredients from patented, scientifically validated raw materials as well as final, finished products are verified using advanced analytical methods such as HPLC (highperformance liquid chromatography), MS (mass spectrometry), etc., to ensure each and every product accurately meets label claims in strict compliance with their demanding product specifications.
When it comes to supplements, is cost an indicator of quality?Where Life Extension is concerned, yes. Patented materials validated in scientific studies cost more — period. In contrast with many commercial brands focused on driving up margins by using the cheapest raw materials available, Life Extension collaborates with raw material suppliers who invest in scientific validation of their ingredients, which increases material costs. With Life Extension products, you get the quality you pay for.
What are the "Other Ingredients" on the label, and why are they important?They are inactive ingredients (excipients) that play a number of critical, essential roles in the manufacturing process including:
Why do some companies refer to these excipients as a threat to your health?Claiming any product is "pure and free of excipients" can be deceptive advertising, too frequently used to draw attention away from inferior active ingredients! The right inactive ingredients used in the right way do important things … like ensuring that a tablet disintegrates in your GI tract rather than just passing through your system without benefit, or keeping a product from breaking down and being susceptible to microbes. Take Life Extension blueberry extract, for example. It contains AuroraBlue wild-harvested, Alaskan blueberries. To retain their nutritional complexity, these berries are freeze-dried and carefully milled for capsule formulation. But being a whole fruit raw material, it tends to want to reconstitute itself with moisture, which would make it a breeding ground for bacteria. So Life Extension uses a drying excipient to keep the milled blueberry material dry, so it can safely deliver its superior nutritional value compared with other, less costly blueberry extracts in most commercial formulations.
All of the excipients Life Extension uses have earned GRAS ("Generally Regarded As Safe") status. In many cases not using them compromises final product quality! Excipients are used in nutritional supplements to ensure uniform density of complex active materials, to achieve even dispersion of active ingredients, and to promote appropriate disintegration and/or dissolution of active ingredients inside your body.
Should I be concerned about the use of stearic acid?Stearic acid functions as a flow agent in the manufacture of quality products, and stearic acid also occurs naturally in the foods you eat. For example, four ounces of dark chocolate contain 3,625 mg of stearic acid; a cup of kidney beans contains 1,655 mg of stearic acid; an ounce of raw ground beef (grass-fed) contains 2,063 mg of stearic acid; and a half pound of lean raw turkey contains 1,642 mg of stearic acid. Even a tablespoon of allspice contains 1,513 mg of stearic acid! Life Extension supplements, on the other hand, typically contain no more than 10 mg per capsule. They always use the lowest level of magnesium stearate possible.
Should I be concerned that products with soybean oil or lecithin are a source of phytoestrogens?While it is true that soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens, the amount in soybean oil or lecithin is so minute, the USDA lists it in foods as having zero value for isoflavones. To give you a frame of reference, Life Extension's Ultra Natural Prostate contains 4 mg of lecithin which supplies only about 0.006 mg of soy isoflavones!
Should I be concerned with the usage of genetically modified plants (GMOs)?Soybeans are an example of a crop that has used extensive genetic engineering to increase crop yield. The reality is that soybean oil and soy lecithin are highly processed derivatives of soy, far removed from their soy origin. Genetic modification doesn't alter the entire plant, only a specific gene. Thus, specific molecules like soy lecithin are the same whether they come from a GMO or non-GMO soy source. However, due to their sensitivity to customer concerns, products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops.
Does the gelatin used in softgels and capsules contain MSG?Gelatin does not contain MSG, but does contain about 0.05 grams of glutamic acid in one softgel. You ingest about 120 times more glutamic acid in a serving of asparagus, cabbage or tomatoes!
What's the difference between tablets, capsules and softgels?Sophisticated products require sophisticated delivery systems. The best companies choose the most effective finished form based on the characteristics of the raw materials, and the desired disintegration or dissolution characteristics of the finished product and the active ingredients.
Why aren't Life Extension products organic?The word "organic" conveys the perception of quality to consumers. But it actually relates to foods that are grown rather than products that are formulated. Many of their scientifically validated raw materials are not produced organically. Rather, their mandate includes rigorous testing and scrupulous processing. The objective is purity, both in terms of our raw materials and their finished products.

I'm hoping to compile the six best options and put them in a poll later. Any suggestions?
Some that come to mind for me:
Lynch saving it when Wilson fumbled in playoffs vs. Redskins
Fail Mary / Inaccurate Reception
Blocked kick for TD vs. SF
Final TD vs. Atlanta with 31 seconds left
Lynch TD in playoffs vs Redskins to take 4th quarter lead
Golden Tate TD at end of regulation vs. Chicago
I dunno, if I get enough good suggestions might do a cheesy "playoff" bracket version.

LaMarr Woodley's injury-plagued 2012 campaign has the Pittsburgh Steelers concerned about their outside linebacker's workout habits -- and at least one of his teammates talking.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Sunday the Steelers believe Woodley must approach his training regimen "with more diligence" after parts of his past two seasons were wiped away by a string of hamstring, groin and ankle issues.
"He was awful," one anonymous teammate said of Woodley's performance in 2012, in comments to Ron Cook of the Post-Gazette. "He tells us he works out, but we didn't see it. He wasn't in shape. That has to be a reason why he was always hurt."
Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert defended Woodley to the newspaper, but the team cannot be thrilled about the linebacker's play since signing a six-year, $61.5 million contract prior to the 2011 season. Woodley was a terror for much of that campaign, compiling nine sacks through eight games before going down with a hamstring injury against the New England Patriots in Week 8.
After piling up 35 sacks from 2008 to 2010, Woodley has just four takedowns since his injury against the Patriots two Octobers ago. One reason for the concern -- and unflattering comments -- in Pittsburgh.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A deer has taken a ride on a western Pennsylvania bus.
The Johnstown Tribune-Democrat newspaper (http://bit.ly/14nGOx0) reports the white-tailed deer crashed through the windshield of a public bus being driven Tuesday evening in Johnstown, about 65 miles east of Pittsburgh.
The deer hopped around frantically near the driver before jumping on empty seats and running in circles in the aisle.
Authorities say the driver stopped the bus and opened the door and the deer got off. Cambria County transportation spokesman Josh Yoder says it "just walked off the bus."
The bus was carrying one passenger, who was seated in the back far from the deer. No injuries have been reported.
The bus has been taken to a maintenance facility for repairs.
There's no word on what happened to the deer.
