We are trying to create a decision table. In the decision table in one condition column we want to have two conditions, only one of which needs a placeholder. When ever we have two conditions with an
and or
or clause it shows a warning as
Malformed expression: Placeholders should be located in the roles of the selected phrase and not elsewhere in the phrase.
The statement below shows a conditions similar to ours:
"Y" is <a string> and the customer's age of 'the current rental agreement' is at least 16
When this statement is in a BAL rule there is no warning. When we look at the generated IRL it shows the IRL correctly. It executes correctly.
We are not sure what is wrong with the expression and why it shows a warning.
Answer by EricCharpentier (4399) | Sep 01, 2017 at 08:24 AM
Let me summarize the situation.
You are setting a column that has 2 conditions in it, one that will make sure the second condition is executed only if there is a Y in the column. You want the check for a Y to be first so that the other check does not happen if it is not Y.
The decision table does actually work with this condition but gives you a warning and you are concerned about this warning.
The warning is normal because the specific situation you are creating creates a syntax tree that the decision table editor does not particularly like although it works just fine for execution.
The product is working as designed and trying to eliminate this particular warning for this specific case is not something that would have a good cost/benefit.
You have two options available to you:
Use the DT as you have been and ignore the warning
Refactor your DT into two DT, one that performs the check only in certain conditions as per the pre-conditions, and one that does not. This essentially pulls the condition column causing the warning in the preconditions with one table having the value "Y" and performing the check, and the other table having the value "N" and not performing the check (or simply just omitting the check altogether).

This year has been full of heartening news for the resources and waste industry, with public pressure to resolve the issue of plastic misuse turning into political action.
This action was evidenced this week by letters published by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) and WRAP (Waste and Resource Action Programme).
We were asked by WRAP to provide insight into reforming producer responsibility for packaging, along with our counterparts across industry, in order to inform the Secretary of State, Michael Gove. As a leading voice for reform in the last few years, many of the ideas we championed directly to WRAP found their way into the final recommendations published today.
While the devil is always in the detail when it comes to final government policy, the general direction of travel is encouraging. Mr Gove's response seems genuine in the intent to make a difference by seriously considering radical changes.
Peter Maddox at WRAP and Paul Vanston at INCPEN (Industry Council on Packaging and the Environment) have done an excellent job of representing wide-ranging industry views to flesh out the principles established earlier this year. Now the focus turns to the Advisory Council on Packaging (ACP) who have been charged with providing the detail on how the current regulations could be changed.
Too much power for one organisation?
Many sensible suggestions were put forward by the ACP group in their paper last year. However, the issue of creating an "independent arbiter" will set hares running across industry, which already questions how the ACP group is selected.
It seems that Mr Gove is interested to know if the government has a role to play. Clearly the knowledge and expertise required lies within industry rather than the civil service. Could it be too much power for one organisation to hold? True independence will be vital to ensure this industry does not require further scrutiny once the National Audit Office publish their findings.

Policy manager
As policy manager, Robbie is responsible for liaising with government, regulators and industry organisations to represent our members' views and interests. In previous roles, he helped to instigate market-based change and he brings that dynamism to his current role of influencing regulatory change. With years of experience working across a number of departments at Ecosurety, it's fair to say he has an excellent understanding of producer compliance and recycling, which enables him to provide high-level policy expertise, industry insight and market analysis to our members.

General Mills and Kellogg Face GMO Challenge
The food production sector can be a healthy investment choice for investors provided they pick and choose their spots. General Mills and Kellogg should be given serious consideration as long-term investments despite the genetically modified organisms boycott campaigns facing the cereal makers.
As has been widely reported, the use of GMOs by food-production companies is a hot-button issue. While GMOs can enhance harvest yields in an array of crops utilized in food production, there is growing concern about the potential environmental and public health consequences of genetically modified foods.
Many packaged goods -- especially cereals -- contain corn and corn byproducts, soy, and sugar beets that are grown from genetically modified crops. While General Mills and Kellogg have defended the use and safety of these crops, the cereal makers will need to respond to these growing concerns.
General Mills says no to GMOs in Cheerios
General Mills recently announced that its original Cheerios cereal will no longer be made with genetically modified corn starch and corn syrup. The shift is designed to satisfy the demands of consumers who have been pressuring General Mills to label foods when GMOs are used or eliminate them altogether. This is probably a wise move given the company's history of being ecologically friendly.
Ultimately the value beyond being "green" is found in the bottom line. In General Mills' last quarterly report for the period ending Nov. 24, the company announced net sales of approximately $4.9 billion while diluted earnings per share were $0.84, a gain of 2% compared to the same period in the prior year.
General Mills also reaffirmed its guidance for fiscal 2014. The company anticipates adjusted diluted EPS of between $2.87 and $2.90. However, management acknowledged earnings this year may also face headwinds from fluctuations in the currency markets.
The cereal maker's share price is presently hovering at $49, a bit off the 52-week high of $53 and change. Furthermore, the forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15.7 is lower than the current mark of 18.2, which could mean share price pressure in the short term.
That said, General Mills has a long history of paying dividends, and the company intends to continue introducing new products that management believes will support long-term earnings growth.
Kellogg has more snap, crackle, and pop to come
Kellogg is the largest cereal maker in the world. So the GMO controversy is one to which the company must respond as well.
For the third quarter of 2013, the leading cereal maker reported net sales of $3.7 billion -- matching the sales numbers posted in the third quarter of 2012. Introducing new products and answering to consumers' health concerns will be needed to boost sales going forward.
Moreover, Kellogg's net earnings for the period were $326 million, which translates to $0.90 per diluted share -- a slight increase of a penny from the third quarter of 2012. The company, however, noted that the earnings figures also included costs associated with its acquisition and integration of Pringles (about $0.02 per share) as well as other new initiatives.
And like many other food producers, the company is modifying its cereal brands to make them more appealing to health-conscious cereal lovers.
In fact, the company made a leap into the gluten-free arena when it introduced gluten-free Rice Krispies without sacrificing the snap, crackle, and pop. Another favorite item of health-conscious consumers is the company's Kashi cereals, which are made with a combination of whole wheat and rice grains. This line now features 11 non-GMO cereals.
Ultimately, these and other product modifications and innovations will support long-term sales growth. To satisfy consumer demands regarding the use of GMOs, the company will continue modifying cereal formulas where it can to eliminate the use of corn-based flavors, starches, and sugar beets that come from GMO crops. And the company's long history of solid sales figures should provide Kellogg with sufficient resources to do so without adversely affecting its profits.
Final thoughts for cereal lovers
General Mills and Kellogg have a long history of providing cereal products to their consumers. And while there are challenges ahead across the global village in connection with the GMO controversy, both General Mills and Kellogg will continue to meet consumer demands by introducing new products. Producing cereals in ways that are environmentally sound will benefit these companies as well as consumers and shareholders in the long run.

Enjoy a Cozy Cabin Rental & Kayak the Mighty Fish Creek in Taberg, NY
Kayakers come from near and far and visit us at Wellnesste Lodge and rent out a cabin as their "base camp" to run the mighty river they simply call "THE MIGHTY FISH".
You can check our River's Flow Rate by clicking here.
Fish Creek is one of New York State's most scenic whitewater runs, slicing through over five miles of sheer slate-walled canyon. Although it's called a "creek" this is a luscious river by any standard. Fish Creek may be the finest play river in the Northeast, with big, fast waves and holes that range from purring pussycat to sneering tiger. Eighteen waterfalls cascade into the canyon, some free-falling over 90 feet.
The canyon creates a sense of wilderness isolation, with hawks circling overhead and clean water providing habitat for trout and salmon. But Fish Creek offers its challenges. Several boats are lost on Fish Creek every year. The canyon section is very deep, narrow, and inaccessible. Inexperienced boaters find self-rescue extremely difficult in the continuous Class II-V gorge riffs. Boaters often stop at Wellnesste Lodge for a break or just to say hello. We've had the pleasure of meeting folks from near and far who've come to enjoy this scenic river.
The following is an excerpt from the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club:
Mysterious Fish Creek is one of the most spectacular streams of the state. For kayakers it is the fabled "River of No Return". Because of cliffs on either side there is no egress until you reach Point Rock Creek, the Rome Reservoir or Palmer Road Bridge.
The many waterfalls caused by spring freshets coming off the gorge walls give the waterway its mystical character. A trip down this Class II-V river (depending on the season and water flow) is an exhilarating experience. It is one of the prettiest rivers in this part of the world, with 18 waterfalls coming in on top from various creeks. It is cut into the shale 90 feet in places and it is seldom seen by man, other than boaters.

Carve a bone-in pork butt roast to optimize the meat's tenderness and the number of servings. The bone of the pork butt will retain heat and continue cooking the roast after it is removed from the oven. Bone-in roasts should be cut into slices at the table so guests are able to enjoy the presentation and moist texture. Feed the crowd at your next gathering with slices of moist bone in-pork roast they will remember long after they leave.
Things You'll Need
- Large cutting board
- Aluminum foil
- Large fork
- Large sharp carving knife
Video of the Day
Place the bone-in pork butt roast on a large cutting board with the best looking side facing up.
Cover the top of the roast with a tent of aluminum foil while it rests for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and move the cutting board and pork roast to the dining table or table-side carving station.
Turn the exposed bone end so it is pointing toward your right and hold it in position by inserting a large fork into the top center.
Make a first slice across the grain with a large sharp carving knife. The slice should be about 1/8 of an inch thick to remove the tough roasted surface. Set this piece aside for yourself.
Continue with 1/8-inch thick slices or thinner across the grain until you reach the bone.
Turn the pork butt roast on its flat side and continue slicing across the grain to get more servings. If the bone starts to come loose, cut the surrounding tendons to free it and pull it out.

Edmund Cartwright invented the power loom to automate the process of producing cloth from thread. It worked first with water power and then steam power. The first machine he patented was inefficient, and he worked continually to improve it.
In 1784, Edmund Cartwright completed the design for his first power loom. He patented it in 1785 and in the same year set up a factory in Doncaster, Yorkshire, to weave and spin cloth. Despite his efforts to refine the machinery, his factory was not successful. He went bankrupt, and in 1793 creditors repossessed his factory.
A textile manufacturer named Robert Grimshaw built another factory in Manchester in 1790 where he planned to install several hundred of Cartwright's power looms. However, it burned to the ground before it was completed, supposedly as an act of arson by disgruntled hand loom weavers.
Though Cartwright's power loom was crude and inefficient, in 1809 he was awarded a large cash gift by the House of Commons for his efforts to improve the textile industry, and in 1821 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. Other inventors and mechanics, notably William Horrocks, Francis Cabot Lowell and Paul Moody, improved the power loom and made it an integral part of American and British manufacturing.

Drug-Free Kids
Natural Alternatives to Common Medications
(page 1 of 2)
Want to keep your kids off drugs? The place to start is with your own medicine cabinet. So say a growing number of health practitioners that are viewing the recent proliferation of medications being targeted at kids with alarm and urging parents to turn first to common-sense home remedies or natural alternatives when possible.
"We tend to be a nation of pill-takers, who turn to medication whenever we need relief for anything," says Dana Point, California, pediatrician Robert Sears, co-author of the new book, The Portable Pediatrician. "If we can increase the use of our skills as parents in using time-tested home remedies to help our kids feel better, we can rely less on pills."
Because children metabolize drugs differently than adults do, cases of lingering side effects, like grogginess or hyperactivity, and accidental overdoses are widespread. Poison control facilities nationwide received 30,000 calls regarding pediatric cetaminophen alone in 2009, and roughly 7,000 kids end up in emergency rooms each year due to cough and cold medicine overdoses. Between 2000 and 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received reports of 14 deaths and 74 non-fatal adverse events due to acetaminophen-dosing errors.
According to a 2010 report by Orlando, Florida-based Medco Health Solutions Inc., children's drugs now constitute the fastest growing segment of the pharmaceutical industry, with sales increasing by 10.8 percent in 2009 over 2008, and usage by children rising four times faster than for the general population during the same period.
One in four children under 10 and one-third of adolescents ages 10 to 19 take at least one prescription medication on an ongoing basis, according to the report. The number of minors taking drugs for respiratory problems is up 42 percent since 2001 and those medicated for the chronic heartburn of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is up 147 percent.
Market research firm IMS Health reports that spending on non-prescription pain medication for children spiked from $191 million in 2005 to $250 million in 2010. Despite three years of government warnings about potential dangers, including seizures and death, of giving over-the-counter cold and flu medications to children under age 2, 61 percent of parents do it anyway, according to a recent national poll by C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Meanwhile, new ad campaigns marketing drugs for kids continue to proliferate. Publisher Scholastic, Inc. was criticized recently for distributing coupons for the allergy medicine Children's Claritin in its elementary school newsletter distributed to kids.
"I find it very concerning," says pediatrician Hilary McClafferty, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. "Some drug companies are exploiting parents at a vulnerable time, preying upon their feeling that they need to do something to make their child feel better immediately."
Why shouldn't a worried, sleep-deprived mom or dad reach for a quick fix to placate a miserable little one in the middle of the night? At times, medications are warranted, says McClafferty, particularly in the case of strep throat, which can lead to serious health problems when left unchecked.
But routinely medicating away symptoms can interfere with the body's natural protective mechanisms, McClafferty says. For instance, cough medicine can inhibit the body's natural effort to clear mucous from the lungs, prolonging congestion; also, suppressing mild fevers with drugs can sabotage the body's own defense against infection.
"Even the conventional medical world has begun to focus on this. They are realizing many of these drugs are not very effective and they can cause toxicity in young patients," says Matthew Baral, a doctor of naturopathy and president of the Pediatric Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
For example, according to a 2011 review in the online journal of the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians, antihistamines can lead to sedation, constipation, drying of the mucous membranes and at higher doses, hallucinations in kids. Decongestants can increase heart rate and lead to "rebound congestion," or a worsening of symptoms after a child stops taking the drugs. Proton-pump inhibitors, approved in 2008 for GERD in babies as young as 12 months, have been shown to boost levels of harmful intestinal bacteria and may increase fracture risk later in life, according to a study recently published in Annals of Family Medicine.
In 2008, the FDA advised that cough and cold medicine should not be used for children under 2, and called on companies to revise their dosage instructions to indicate this more clearly. In March, 2011, it went so far as to pull hun- dreds of prescription cold medications off the market, with FDA spokesperson Deborah M. Autor telling The New York Times that, "We don't know what's in them, whether they work properly or how they are made."
While McClafferty is pleased with the FDA's recent actions, she remains leery, saying, "I approach all over-the-counter medications
for children with great caution and rarely recommend their use."
Here are some alternatives to try. Remember that many herbs have not been tested for safety specifically for children, so check with a health practitioner first.
Bug Bites
For quick relief, grate a potato or some leaves of plantain to create a poultice and place it on the spot of the bite. "It will draw off some of the itching and swelling," says Baral. Don't forget two of the lowest-tech and natural remedies, mud and ice.
"It's important to know that most fevers don't need to be treated unless they are really bothering the child," advises Sears. "Fever helps the body to fight off infection and may keep the child subdued so she can rest and recover." He recommends tepid baths, cold cloths on the forehead, and calling the doctor if a fever persists for three days or if it rises above 103 degrees. Herbalist Brigitte Mars, author of The Country Almanac of Home Remedies, suggests diaphoretic herbs like peppermint, ginger and elderflower, in teas, which prompt perspiration and enable the body to cool down naturally.

8 events, two running packs, one running belt, 4 or 5 pairs of shoes and many lessons learned, it has been a great running season for me. A few mantras carried me down the trail; relentless forward progress, pep talk!, just keep moving, it doesn't matter if you hurt you have to get back to the car, that's probably not a mountain lion…, and my latest favorite Run Hard, Eat Chili Dogs.
Here is a quick recap of the races and lessons learned:
1. Cave Creek Thriller 31k- A great way to start the year. This race is challenging enough to let me know I need to train more but is still fun and motivating. Temps we're warm this year for October but time spent running in in the heat always pays off later.
2. Pass Mountain 26k- I can run after I camp without too much trouble. I also need to be mindful of how fast I start. I tried to "just relax and run" and I went out too fast. It was also a reminder to run with my head up and look for course markers. A couple of my friends missed a turn and it cost them a couple of miles.
3. McDowell Mountain Frenzy 25k - I learned I can run while I'm sick. Actually, I can run a lot better than I thought when I'm sick. Also, Shoe changes are in interesting option for long events but I'm not sure if it's for me yet.
4. San Tan Scramble 50k - I can do it! This event was a great confidence booster for me. I learned the importance of starting to work on having a positive attitude when I started to taper. It was a 50k PR by and the confidence I got after that race carried me through OP50. It also allowed me to get over the mental challenge of running through the start/finish for another lap and was good drop bag practice.
5. Cold Water Rumble 50k - This was a real mental challenge for me. It was my plan to start tired and I almost over did it. I learned that no matter how sloppy or heavy my legs feel, I can still hit a running stride, albeit a slow one. I also got to run with a couple of 100 mile racers. It was interesting to hear what they were thinking about around mile 40ish. I really worked on my mental expectation of fatigue and reminded myself that I could go farther.
6. Elephant Mountain 22k - This event turned into a final shakedown run before OP50. I only did the 22k but it was just enough to leave me wanting more (perfect). My girlfriend also came out and ran which was awesome. It was the only race I did without a pack or belt, relying completely on the aid stations. At the last water station I grabbed a cup of water and realized how bad I had been feeling after I drank it.
7. Old Pueblo 50 mile - my first 50 mile race. 2.5 inches of rain, howling winds up to around 45 mph, hypothermia all around me, it was an epic day. But all said and done, it went better than I had hoped. I was ready mentally and physically and I'm actually thinking about doing another 50 mile race, maybe.
8. Mesquite Canyon 30k – The last event of the season. The previous year I ran this as my first 50k so it was fun to only do the 30k this year. The course is challenging but rewarding. I had enough time to think about the miles ran over the past 5 months and really enjoy the day. I was hurting a little but was still able to put down a good time and feel satisfied at the day's effort.

What Tenants Need to Know About Being Evicted
- What is a notice of eviction?
A "notice of eviction" is a written notice from a City Marshal that warns you that you and your family can be evicted within the next few days. The notice of eviction is the last court paper that needs to be served on you before you are evicted.
An eviction means that the Marshal can come to your apartment, remove you and your family and your belongings from the apartment, and change the door locks.
If you have received a Notice of Eviction, the most important thing to do now is to stop your eviction.
- How to Stop an Eviction
The first thing to do is to go immediately to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk's Office and ask for an order to show cause.
An order to show cause is an order signed by a judge that tells the marshal and landlord not to evict you until the judge has had the chance to hear your case. The Clerk's office in the following locations will help you with your Order to Show Cause:

- What is a nonpayment case?
A non-payment case is brought by a landlord to collect unpaid rent. A tenant may be evicted for non-payment of rent.
- What is a "demand for rent"?
Before you can be sued, the landlord or someone working for the landlord must demand the overdue rent from you and warn you that, if you do not pay, you can be evicted. If your lease requires that this kind of demand be given in writing, then it must be in writing. If it is in writing, this demand must be served the same way as the Notice of Petition also called a dispossess and petition.
- What will happen if I can't pay rent after the demand for rent is made?
If you do not pay the rent after the demand for rent is made, the landlord can file a nonpayment petition against you in Housing Court. The Court Clerk will mail you a poscard when the landlord's petition is filed telling you to promptly come to court. The notice of petition and petition (usually the front and back of the same page) must also be served on you.
- Should I go Housing Court?
When you receive the nonpayment petition, go right away to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk's Office in the Housing Court. The address of the Court will be indicated on the notice of petition (or dispossess). You need to go to Housing Court to file an answer to your petition, or to file an Order to Show Cause, if you have received a notice of eviction.
- Is there day care at Housing Court?
If you have young children, you should check to see whether the Housing Court in your borough has day care because it varies from court to court. If it does, you should get to court before your scheduled time so you have time to leave your children at day care. Day care is free of charge.
- How should I answer the nonpayment petition?
The easiest way to answer is to go to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk and have them put in an answer for you. It is possible to put in your own answer in writing, but it is far more complicated and requires much more work. If you need help in answering the petition, there are posters on the wall in every Landlord-Tenant Clerk's Office which will give you information on how to answer a non-payment petition.
When you get to Landlord-Tenant Clerk's Office, you should stand on the line for filing an answer. When you get to the Clerk's window, tell the Clerk what your answer is. The Clerk will help you. If one of the reasons you didn't pay the rent is because your apartment needs repairs, be sure to ask the Clerk for a housing inspection.
- What should I say in my answer?
You can defend yourself against an eviction by showing any of the following (NOTE: that this is not a complete list of all possible defenses):
- Improper Service:
- You did not receive any copies of the court papers.
- The court papers were not delivered to you properly.
- Improper Parties:
- You are listed by the wrong name on the court papers.
- The person suing you in this case is not your landlord.
- Rent Issues:
- You were never asked for the rent.
- You have already paid all or part of the rent.
- The landlord is suing for the wrong amount of rent.
- The landlord owes you money because of a rent overcharge.
- You tried to pay the rent, but your landlord refused to accept it.
- Apartment Issues:
- Your apartment or building needs repairs for conditions (be sure to indicate all repairs and services that are not being provided).
- You receive Public Assistance and there are Housing Code violations in your apartment or building.
- Your apartment is an illegal apartment.
- The landlord waited too long to sue you for nonpayment of rent. If you think the landlord has waited too long to sue you (generally, longer than 3 months) so that the amount you owe would be so great that you would not have enough money to pay, you may have a defense called "stale rent." This defense can limit the amount of unpaid rent that you must pay in order to avoid being evicted, but it is usually very hard to prove.
- Improper Service:
- What happens if I do not answer the petition or do not show up to court?
If you do not answer the petition or do not go to court on your court date, you can be evicted. If you do not answer the petition on time, whether or not you received it, or you do not go to court on your court date, the landlord can get a final judgment and then have a City Marshal serve you with a "notice of eviction."
If you receive a "notice of eviction," go right away to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk's office and ask for an "Order to Show Cause."
- What is an order to Show Cause?
If signed by a judge, an Order to Show Cause will stop your eviction.
To get an Order to Show Cause, go to the Housing Court Clerk's Office and ask for an Order to Show Cause. If signed by the judge, the Order will prevent your eviction until you can be heard in court. Ask the Clerk if you should wait or return early the next day. If you believe your eviction is scheduled for today, be sure to tell the Clerk that you cannot wait until the next day to get the Order to Show Cause.
In most cases, you must show two things in the Order to Show Cause:
- A good excuse for not going to court when you were supposed to, such as "I never received the court papers" or "I was sick," and
- A reason your landlord shouldn't win the case, such as "I paid some or all of my rent" or "I need repairs."

A Review of "You Sort of Deserved This" By Barack Obama
***Please be aware that the review you might be about to read if you don't get distracted by something else is fiction; the reviewer is fictional, the book being reviewed is fictional. In some instances, the purported author of one of these fictional books is fictional, and in other instances the purported author is a real person, but while the quotes attributed to that real person are probably true in a philosophical or moral sense, that should not be construed by readers as words that were literally spoken by the individuals being mocked in the Forthcoming series, although in this case the purported author is not being mocked; rather, he is mocking all of us.***
Additional note, for clarification: the asterisks that frame the above notice are not some sort of white nationalist or alt-right code, like when the fashies would type a person's name inside of three sets of parentheses to signal to other fashies that the individual being named was Jewish; I'm just using them to get your attention and to separate the disclaimer from the main body of the satirical review that follows . . .

You Sort of Deserved This
By Barack Obama
449 pages
By now you've surely heard of the book deal, reportedly worth $899 billion, given to Barack and Michelle Obama for their respective memoirs. Less attention has been given, probably because less money has been given, to the former president for his other book deal for a book called You Sort of Deserved This and it's an honest and some might say angry or bitter analysis of American politics and society and it's scheduled to be published in August by Malarkey Books. All proceeds will be donated to support media literacy, especially in rural America.
Can I just say that this is a good read but it's definitely going to be controversial to say the least. In You Sort of Deserved This former president of the United States Barack Hussein Obama lambastes American politics and media. The first line is pithy but kind of crude for a former president: "All through my presidency Republicans said I hated America; it wasn't true—until around 2014 and then I was like, 'Well, after listening to this shit for six years, OK, little bit,' and then by 2016 I was like, 'Fuck em.'"
I prefer my presidents to be inspirational but even though Obama was always very well spoken and articulate he was not inspirational to me even when he was president and definitely not in You Sort Of Deserved This in which he basically blames Americans for electing Donald J. Trump as president. Hey Obama, no offense but maybe you're not president anymore because you blame people too much? You catch more flies with honey, sir!
Aside from the blaminess I will say he is pretty honest. He admits that he probably didn't do the best job managing the war in Afghanistan, "but managing a war is not a job anyone can be great at. The war in Afghanistan was unwinnable from the beginning. When it comes to war you either win or lose. When you find yourself managing a war you have to know you're already fucked." It's not very presidential to curse like that but there's a lot of stuff I didn't know about Obama like that he might also be a racist.
I don't want to discourage people from reading this book because it's a good book and also I'm supposed to focus on the positive elements of the books I review because we want people to buy them but I think it's important to let you know that Obama uses some unpleasant words in this book. Like racist words like when he says he wants to take a moment to directly address his, quote marks his, "critics" and he says "I know that calling me a Muslim was just a way for you to call me a—" The former president used a word that I have too much taste to repeat. It made me feel really sad to see him use that word in his book. Honestly I lost a lot of respect for him for using that word. "I also know that the identity-focused webzines are going to use that quote as clickbait, reducing my whole book to a headline about how Obama used the n-word." I don't know, I'm not criticizing him but maybe if he didn't use the n-word so much people wouldn't think he was a racist. Just saying.
Like I said he doesn't like Trump and he thinks it's America's fault for electing Donald Trump which I think is unfair but I'm not the president. "I know much of what I say will fall on deaf ears," he writes offensively because it's hearing-impaired. "I know I'm talking to a country that voted Jimmy Carter out of office because he had the audacity to suggest to Americans that they should economize, share responsibility, even sacrifice. A lot of you are not going to want to hear it. The biggest problem I face, in fact, is that the people who don't want to hear it aren't reading this book, so I can only hope that the people who do read it will annoy their friends with quotes from this book, with ideas from this book. That members of the Big Bad Media will give this book enough attention that some of the ideas, not just the n-word clickbait, will seep into the public consciousness. There are a lot of theories about why Hillary lost the election, of how American politics became so broken, about how a man like Donald Trump, unqualified, dishonest, fundamentally undemocratic, could rise to the office of president. We don't need theories. We need the truth. The truth is you get the president you deserve and America deserved Donald Trump. America, light of the world, has its head up its ass. We prefer narrative to reality. We live in a country where if you don't want to believe in global warming, not only do you not have to believe in it, there's also an entire political party, there are entire news networks, dedicated to the fiction that global warming is a fiction. Your beliefs will be reinforced and recycled and you can believe that global warming is a hoax, cooked up by the Chinese, by the alien lizards, by the Jewlluminati, and anyone who believes in climate change is just a dupe of the Mainstream Media. It's the height of irony, or more appropriately the depth of irony, that the country that has been the main driver of climate change should also be the main denier of it, that a political party that preaches the importance of individuals taking personal responsibility should be the main proponent of abdicating responsibility. Part of me feels bad for you. Trump has offered you jobs, security, a place at the table, but he's going to screw you over, and part of me feels that if you're dumb enough to take him seriously you deserve whatever happens to you. But I don't want to live that way. I don't want to think that way about my neighbors, my fellow citizens. The cynic in me thinks the motto of America should be 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me again and again and again and I'll just accept your version of reality even if I know it's fucking bullshit.'" Again with the cursing. I don't really like cursing. I think it's a sign of a lazy mind. I try to keep it clean not like Obama he's dirty. He tries to walk it back and say something positive—"It doesn't have to be this way. We can be better. We can be good again"—but it's just like, "Uh, too late, homie, I just don't like crudeness."
To his credit the former president admits he made some mistakes and I think he should get credit for that he says "My administration didn't live up to our own standards in transparency. I know that. We were obsessed with the narrative. We tried so hard to control the narrative because we knew there were so many ways for it to be hijacked. We knew there were so many bandits hidden out along the ideological wayside. But that's not an excuse. I still failed at transparency. I made my fear of being hijacked make me overly secretive. I can admit when I am wrong, which is more than I can say for my country sometimes." That's like a total #sorrynotsorry moment right? Am I doing that right?
You Sort of Deserved This is a total beach read even though it won't technically come out until the end of summer but even still at some point the Trump jokes and the Trump bashing it's going to get old so I guess he wanted to get his licks in while he could. Why do we say "licks" when we mean like punches or hits or something? Like that's gross, and it's not even really like licking, I guess if your hands are really sweaty? "Listen. I don't want to make it sound like this is all the Republicans' fault. Liberals are responsible for their own allotment of madness. (Note to self: potential book title, Allotment of Madness.) I remember one day during the election, in those halcyon days when everyone was glad Trump had gotten the nomination because, come on, it's Trump. If he was a supervillain his name would be The Ochre Joker. No one takes him seriously. But anyway, I turned on NPR and there were two guys being interviewed. These guys—their hearts were in the right places, their brains not so much—had made it their mission to go around the country trying to convince white men not to run for public office. Not trying to convince women or people of color to run for office, which would be totally fine. No, they're knocking on doors telling white guys they shouldn't run for office. Really? Who do you clowns think you're helping? I heard them talking and I said to Michelle, 'These goobers are plants. They're obviously white supremacists posing as white liberals just to caricaturize and discredit them.' But I had some people check them out, and they turned out to be genuine. Congratulations, dumbasses, you made yourselves so annoying that people were willing to throw away their votes on an anus-lipped doofus with a daughter fetish just to avoid being on your team. As much as I'd like to say the right-wing mantra of political correctness ruining America is overblown, I can't because I have to admit that there's always a few of you clowns—and you all seem to write for Salon.com—lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce as soon as someone says the wrong thing. I guess we should call you the Flack Panthers. Racism is real. Racism is a sickness. But telling white people they can't run for office is not going end racism or increase equality. It's just going to piss off white people. The best thing you dudes could do for democracy and progress would be to come work for me. I'll pay you good salaries with socialist-country-level benefits to just shut the fuck up and play video games, as long as they're not hooked up to the internet because I don't want you communicating with anyone. Seriously. I've got money. Thanks to my book deal I have more money than Trump now. To be fair, there are ascetic monks who've given away all their worldly possessions who have more money than Trump now. All Donald has is the Eric Trump Foundation and a revolving line of credit from Vnesheconombank."
I know that people are mad and they think there's a double standard because the very people who declared that they were devoting their existences to making sure that Obama failed as president are now the people who are saying every day in relation to Donald J. Trump just give him a chance and let the man do his job and a lot of people want Mr. Trump to fail, but guys, wanting the president to fail, is like wanting the pilot of the plane that you're on with your whole family and all your neighbors and friends and more than three hundred million strangers to crash into a mountain and everyone dies and has to eat each other to try to survive so yeah, he won, let's give him a chance. I know there's hurt feelings, I know there's some weird stuff, but honestly I'm the type of person who looks forward, like a shark, and I really try to focus on the positive like let's make the best of this situation because when life gives you lemons you make lemonade and I know you also need sugar to make lemonade, and clean water and a pitcher and ice cubes and stuff, but you'd ruin the metaphor if you tried to mention all that other stuff. So I guess if I had one criticism of You Sort of Deserved This it's that it doesn't look forward but aside from that it's definitely worth buying from this website or any fine bookstore!
My rating: A+!
Dumbass disclaimer: I shouldn't have to say that the above review is fictional, that I'm using it as a vehicle to make fun of something, a political figure, society, Simon & Schuster, but the above review is fictional and I'm using it as a vehicle to make fun of something, a political figure, society, Simon & Schuster. While it should be taken seriously, it should not be taken as factual. It should maybe make you think, lead you to some deeper understanding of the world, or at least make you snort against your will in awkward laughter, but please understand that it's fictional. The book that my fictional intern is describing is fucking fictional. Given the state of the publishing industry and the fading line between reality and parody, I can't reasonably expect readers to make the distinction between what's real and what's tongue-in-cheek, and while it would make part of me happy to know that there's someone gullible enough to believe the books I'm pretending are forthcoming are real, most of me would just be sad. I'm sad enough already.

Hey Microsoft, Get Out of the Cloud
The personal computer revolution began as an attempt to move away from centralized control, allowing people to have a system that was powerful, yet individualized. Big companies who hogged computing were seen as evil. Soon everything became self-contained and desktop-centric. There was desktop publishing, desktop marketing, desktop mapping. Now everything is supposed to move to that mainframe in the skythe cloud.
But the cloud stinks. Its applications have always been much slower than their desktop counterparts. Try to get to the end cell of a large cloud-based shreadsheet. You'll long for the desktop version. The whole process is exacerbated by the speed of the Internet. The Internet is also unreliable. A couple of weeks ago, I was down for two hours. A month ago, I lost my connection for 20-plus hours.
And where is Microsoft in all of this? The company seems to keep forgetting what business it's in. While Windows 7 and Office continue to be huge cash cows with no end in sight, the company is encouraging the idea of cloud computing by claiming that that is the direction it's headed in, as well. Huh?
Why isn't Microsoft trying to derail cloud computing? That's what I would be doing it its position. It should think about killing Hotmail on a whim and saying, "there's your cloud computing. Look what happened!" That, ultimately, is the real issue with the cloud. It's not like your shrink wrapped software or even a stand alone download software package, which you essentially own and control. What would happen if Microsoft killed Hotmail? What would users do?
Read the terms of service to find out. The company can essentially do whatever it wants. You have no recourse. More onerous is the fact that almost every license agreement says that the company can change the wording whenever it wants to whatever it wants. All cloud action is essentially ethereal. Now you see it, now you don't. Whatever happened to all of those old Geocities and AOL Websites, anyway?
Here's a proposed Microsoft advertisement:
A friend laments that his cloud-based software has stopped working. The company wants to charge him a fortune to return his data. His pal smiles and says, "you wouldn't have this problem with Microsoft packaged software. It runs on your machine! It's yours. You control it. Nobody can take it away from you. Nobody can discontinue your account. It just works!"
"Wow, Jim. Why didn't someone tell me about this earlier? You mean I don't have to keep going online to do my work?
"That's right! And there's no monthly fee!"
"No monthly fee? Where do I sign up?"
"It comes in a box. It installs itself."
"I'm sold! Thanks Microsoft!"
That sort of commercial will never happen, of course. Microsoft sees cloud computing as a better way to make more money.
And cloud computing does have its place as a substitute for large IT departments in large corporations. It's cheaper. That's what the cloud is really about. It's not about usurping freedom from the individual users and charging them more money. That's where the cloud fails.
From the beginning Microsoft was a company that enabled the individual PC user. Now it talks about the cloud like everyone else. Microsoft really needs to rethink its approach.

What Are the End Stages of COPD?
According to NIH, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe and worsens over time. There is no cure for COPD. It affects more than 12 million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.
COPD includes both chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema, two disorders that obstruct breathing.
The main cause of COPD is long-term smoking. COPD can also be caused by being exposed to pollution or second-hand smoke.
There are things people can do to control the severity of complications, such as stop smoking, take any prescribed medications or use oxygen.
There are four stages of COPD: mild, moderate, severe and very severe.
According to Merck, people in the end stages of COPD have severe shortness of breath that impacts their quality of life and they may require a breathing tube.
People with COPD should get a flu and pneumonia vaccines, since either of these can worsen COPD.

The future of Mirfield Community Centre will hang in the balance as Kirklees Council's cabinet meets on Tuesday to discuss its possible sale.
A report that went to cabinet members recommends approving the sale or transfer of the building, claiming it would save the authority £29,000 a year.
But Mirfield councillor Martyn Bolt (Con) said Kirklees had a duty to maintain the building, and in not adequately doing so, made the prospect of an asset transfer impossible.
He said: "If you were a group wanting to take on this building, you would have to have very deep pockets to bring it up to scratch. I'm not sure any group would be able to do that."
"By getting rid of the community centre, you would be ripping the guts out of the community."
He said he believed a decision on the sale of the building will be deferred, adding: "If this is the case, people can get involved in trying to save it by emailing the chief executive of the council to show how important it is."
A Save Mirfield Community Centre group has been set up on Facebook, which plans to meet at the community centre on Monday at 6pm to discuss how it can be saved.

Team Collaboration
Messy Communication
Google Hangouts?
So, what did this Google Hangouts use case do for the team? We think it did a lot. It brought a whole new dimension to communicating with each other on a daily basis. It was useful during a regular day in the office and it was useful when some of us were at a conference. In fact, it was even used at times when a member of the team was out on vacation or working remote. It was a new and snappy outlet for quick and casual commentary throughout the day, night and weekend too.
Yes, that is the double-edge sword right there. Fear naturally arises about the invasiveness of this kind of communication strategy. That is why guidelines are a good idea to be negotiated by the teams using them.
See you at the next MindShare!

Checking Off Completed Tasks in Outlook 2007
If you can see the task you want to mark as complete in either the To-Do Bar or your Task List in Outlook 2007, just right-click the item and choose Mark Complete. Nothing could be simpler.
Otherwise, to mark a task complete, follow these steps:
1. Click the Tasks button in the Navigation Pane (or press Ctrl+4).
The Tasks module opens.
2. Click the words Simple List in the Current View section of the Navigation Pane.
Actually, you can choose any view you want, as long as the task you're looking for shows up there. If the task that you want to mark as complete isn't in the view you choose, try the Simple List, which contains every task you've entered.
3. Click the box next to the name of the task that you want to mark complete.
Check the box in the second column from the left. When you check the box, the name of the task changes color and gets a line through it. You're finished!
You can view a list of the tasks you've marked complete by clicking the words Completed Tasks in the Current View menu on the left side of the screen. All the jobs you've polished off show up there in a nice, neat list.
Outlook has more than one place for marking tasks complete. You can look at the Task List, as well as certain views of your calendar and the list of tasks in Outlook Today.
Marking several tasks complete
Perhaps you don't race to your computer every time you complete a task. Marking off your completed tasks in groups is faster than marking them one by one. Outlook lets you check off as many tasks as you want by making a multiple selection.
To mark several tasks complete, follow these steps:
1. Click the Tasks button in the Navigation Pane (or press Ctrl+4).
The Tasks module opens.
2. Click the words Simple List in the Current View section of the Navigation Pane.
Again, you can pick any view that enables you to see the tasks that you want to mark.
3. Click the first task that you want to mark.
4. Hold down the Ctrl key and click each of the other tasks that you want to mark.
All the tasks you click are highlighted, showing that you've selected them.
5. Right-click one of the tasks you highlighted.
A menu appears.
6. Choose Mark Complete.
The tasks you selected are marked as complete.
You have two good reasons for recording your tasks and marking them as complete: to remember everything you have to do; and to tell other people everything you've done (think about your boss at raise time). It pays to toot your own horn, and keeping a completed Task List helps you remember what to toot your horn about.
Picking a color for completed or overdue tasks
When you complete a task or when it becomes overdue, Outlook changes the color of the text. The completed tasks become gray, and the overdue tasks turn red, which makes it easy for you to tell at a glance which tasks are done and which tasks need to be done, pronto. If you don't like Outlook's color choices, you can choose different colors.
Here's how to change the color of completed and overdue tasks:
1. Choose Tools –> Options.
The Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Task Options button.
The Task Options page appears.
3. Click the box labeled Overdue Task Color.
A list of colors drops down.
4. Choose a color for overdue tasks.
5. Click the box labeled Completed Task Color.
A list of colors drops down.
6. Choose a color for completed tasks.
7. Click OK.
Your completed and overdue tasks appear on your list in the colors you selected.

I always had a "push God to the limit" sort of relationship with Him. If I wasn't delighted with God I wasn't afraid to let Him understand exactly what I thought about Him or His plan. Down through the years I would "have it out with Him" and would say things to God that "excellent" Christians weren't expected to state to God, until it came to the time I finally informed Him to get the hell out of my life. FOREVER!
Detectives think the teenagers "never ever saw it coming," stated police spokesperson Laura McElroy. Both were eliminated with a.38-caliber handgun. The arrest affidavit said the weapon was acquired 5 days earlier, WPTV report.
Inpatient Drug Rehab Centers
The inpatient rehabilitation centers, Assures, decided to not release a declaration on the circumstance. If Spears was officially gone from the facility or not, they would likewise not validate. Spears supervisor is also staying silent about the circumstance. This is leaving many of us to assume that she is finished with the center and will not return. Unless, obviously, she is flexing her advantages and leaving the center for yet another day out on the town. If this holds true, Spears will return to the center later on this evening or tomorrow.

When he lastly did get into inpatient drug rehab, it was a 30-day program. No method 30 days suffices to deal with heroin addiction and get the guy turned around and able to lead a brand-new life devoid of drugs.

Unfortunately, dependency has to be treated; a person experiencing a dependency can not work effectively in a society. The purpose of the rehabilitation is to put the addicted back on their feet and help them re-integrate in the society, get a job and forget about the alcohol, drugs or the other compounds that have brought them in the addicting state. inpatient rehab is a very advantageous technique to deal with the addicted. But, many individuals do not afford going into a clinic and costs weeks maybe even months there. It is too costly, and it takes a lot of time off. The option for these clients is to take up outpatient rehab. The outpatient rehab can give outstanding outcomes as well if done seriously.
A rehab program supplies medical along with mental treatment to the addict. It's crucial to first clean the addict's body from the redundant drugs present in the blood stream. Then, the mind has to be freed of drug dependence. A program succeeds when, at the end, the addict not requires or desires the drug or beverage.
In Closing
Lastly, motivate a teenage drug addict to visit a drug rehabilitation that deals specifically with teenage drug dependency. Teenage drug addiction is unique and has to be handled personally.

The cost and complexity of the systems needed to deal with the danger of severe accident makes the LWR a poor choice for large central station power plants. Ironically, it is the LWR's high power density, the very reason it was chosen for submarine use, that is its Achilles heel. Even a 10-second interruption in the supply of cooling water at the surface of a fuel rod can lead to local overheating and irrevocable, cascading damage to the reactor core. As a result, the LWR must rely on defense-in-depth, a system of diverse and redundant backup devices, to guard against such an event. This is a widely used technique, but defense-in depth can not, by itself, guarantee absolute safety; it can only reduce the probability of a serious accident. All nuclear power plants,because of their cost and potential for off-site hazards, have a very low "acceptable" probability of failure. The larger the plant, the lower the acceptable probability of failure. Because the consequence of failure is so large in gigawatt-scale plants, LWR's have been forced to employ engineered safety systems that promise unprecedentedly, and perhaps unattainably, low probability of failure.The safety related requirements of the LWR drives up its cost. Lidsky and Miller, who were undoubtedly aware of the IFR and would have included it in their LMFBR class, wrote:
The sodium-cooled LMFBR was the device that was intended to replace the LWR when mined uranium supplies became prohibitively expensive. The LMFBR was chosen over other breeder reactor designs because it was, in theory, capable of very short fuel doubling times, shorter than that of any competing reactor design. The doubling time is the time required to produce an excess of fuel equal to the amount originally required to fuel the reactor itself. In other words, in one doubling time there would be enough fuel available to start up another reactor. In the absence of mined uranium, only a short doubling time would, it was believed, allow nuclear power to grow fast enough to compete with alternative sources of power. Unfortunately, the theoretical advantages of the LMFBR could not be achieved in practice. A successful commercial breeder reactor must have three attributes; it must breed, it must be economical, and it must be safe. Although any one or two of these attributes can be achieved in isolation by proper design, the laws of physics apparently make it impossible to achieve all three simultaneously, no matter how clever the design. The fundamental problem originates in the very properties of sodium that make the short doubling time possible. The physical characteristics of sodium and plutonium are such that a loss of sodium coolant in the center of the core of a breeding reactor (caused, for example, by overheating) would tend to increase the power of the reactor, thus driving more sodium from the core, further increasing the power in a continuous feedback loop. The resulting rapid, literally uncontrollable, rise in reactor power is clearly unacceptable from a safety standpoint. This effect, the so-called "positive void coefficient" can be mitigated by, for example, changing the shape of the core so that more neutrons leak out of the core, but this immediately compromises the reactor's breeding potential. Safety and breeding are thus mutually antagonistic. This situation can be alleviated to some extent by making radical design changes, but these changes lead to greatly increased costs, and make the reactor prohibitively expensive. Even if the LMFBR could meet its original, highly optimistic, operating goals and the LWR/FBR power cycle were put into operation, it is unclear that the goal of energy security would be achieved. As discussed in the following sections, the measures that would have to be put in place to protect all parts of the fuel cycle against terrorism would have very high social costs. Equally important is the increased risk of accidental or maliciously-induced technological failure. Compared to light water reactors operating on the once-through fuel cycle, the breeder fuel cycle is much more complex and error-prone. This implies a higher probability that the entire nuclear system or a significant fraction thereof might need to be shutdown because of a generic problem, e.g., with sodium containment, in the reactors or an accident in one of the reprocessing or fuel fabrication plants that serve the system.They conclude,
Strong support for plutonium recycle, with its associated technical risks and societal costs, in the face of increasing evidence that alternative strategies are superior, is clearly counterproductive.There was an alternative to the plutonium breeding LMFRB as Lidsky and Miller note:
Thorium fuel cycles have also been promoted on the basis of lower long-term waste toxicity and greater proliferation resistance, . . . The initial rationale for introduction of the thorium cycle was the perception that it was more abundant than uranium, and that it could be used to breed U-233, an isotope with superior properties for use in thermal reactors. However, Its terrestrial abundance is not germane to Japan's energy security concerns because Japan has no indigenous source of thorium and it is hard to imagine a scenario in which uranium is cut off but thorium is available. Conceivably, the use of U-233 in an advanced reactor could reduce the possibility of a common mode failure of a reactor fleet consisting of LEU-fueled LWRs and HTGRs. The Molten Salt Reactor would be a strong candidate for consideration for this role, with a solid research base and an international support group, . . .IFR backers would counter that they have greatly improved LMFBR safety. I would agree with the claims that the IFR has a number of natural (passive) safety features, which coupled a system of barriers, makes the IFR reasonably if not totally safe. But the totality of IFR safety features would tend to make IFR construction more expensive, and would tend to increase IFR construction price. In addition one IFR safety feature, a large pool of liquid sodium which surrounds the IFR core, appears to be a double edged sword as far as safety is concerned. Although the pool contributes to core temperature stability in case of a coolant system failure, the presence of such a large amount of highly flammable sodium in close proximity to the IFR core, could lead to a huge disaster in the event of a core rupture. Core ruptures would not happen often, but never is a very strong word. Only offensive nuclear safety coupled with passive safety, can come close to guaranteeing "never," and if you out sodium into a solid core reactor, offensive nuclear safety is clearly impossible.
The issue of core inventory places the IFR at a double disadvantage. First, it greatly limits the the number of IFR that can be started from existing inventories of spent nuclear fuel. Secondly, It increases core size. Larger core size means a larger containment structure, and, of course, higher costs. What of the potential for a small IFR?In S PRISM related study "S-PRISM Fuel Cycle Study: Future Deployment Programs and Issues," suggested that as of the year 2000, four hundred tons of plutonium could be recovered from spent nuclear fuel. This in turn would provide enough plutonium to supply start up charges for twenty-two, 1520 MWe S-PRISM facilities with ab output of 33,440 MWe. That is about 12 tons per 1 GWe of reactor capacity.Clearly then neutron speed has an adverse effect on reactor scalability.On the other hand neutron speed also influences the fission rate per neutron absorption, this in turn influences neutron production. Pu-239 fissions 25% more often in a fast reactor than in a thermal reactor. On the other hand it still take more Pu-239 to maintain a chain reaction in a fast reactor than in a thermal reactor. Reactor physics tricks and fuel cycle also seem to influence start up charge size.A recent discussion on the EfT form produced quite a lot of useful information. "Jagdish" reported thatIndian 500MW PFBR is designed to use only two tons of plutonium."Honzik" pointed to French research of epithermal/fast Thorium Molten Saalt Reactors. The French, modeling the use of transuranium materials from spent nuclear fuel, in a 1 GB reactor had calculated a need for 7.3 tons of fissile elements (87.5% of Pu (238Pu 2.7%, 239Pu 45.9% , 240Pu 21.5%, 241Pu 10.7%, and 242Pu 6.7%), 6.3% of Np, 5.3% of Am and 0.9% of Cm). Alternatively the reactior would require a start uo charge of 4.6 tons of U-2330.Lars reported thatThe minimum for unity breeding from the French group is 1.5 tonnes u233 / GWe.Alex P noted:the french design has an only radial, not axial, blanket, so for comparison I'd think that the fissile start-up in a LFTR with a fully encompassing blanket can be at least one tonn of u-233 per GWe, or even lowerDavid LeBlanc noted:The French TMSR design running without graphite moderator needs upwards of 5 tonnes of U233 or 8 or more tonnes of fissile Pu. They could drop this somewhat if they just wanted to barely break even but not very much since they'll start losing too many neutrons that would migrate into the axial reflectors. In designs in which the blanket is nearly fully encompassing you can get by with much lower fissile concentrations. It is only speculation for now but based on early Oak Ridge studies using sphere within sphere designs I think we could probably get things down to 500 Kg of u233 or maybe even lower but 1000 kg is a fine for a conservative estimate. These designs with lower fissile concentration would also be fairly soft spectrums since the salt itself can do a modest job at moderating the neutrons.The problem of plutonium in nuclear breeding should be noted. In thermal breeders plutonium suffers from poor neutron economy, while in fast neutron reactors plutonium neutron economy improves but does not compensate for the added requirement for fissile material. Radial and axial thorium blankets in a breeder appears to lower fissile demand by as much as 300%, but this principle appears to have been applied in S-PRISIM design.
The S-PRISM design would appear far less scalable than Epithermal or thermal MSRs. David LeBlanc's estimates are based on the use of blankets with Epithermal MSRs. If we estimate that 2 kgs of reactor grade plutonium from spent nuclear fuel about 1 kg of U233, 500 kgs of U-233 would be a similar startup charge to a ton of RGP. Thus the same amount of RGP that will start 33 GWe worth of S-Prism FBRs will also start 400 GWe worth of LFTRs. Clearly the LFTR offers scalability advantages over the IFR/S-PRISM.
I briefly reviewed the recent Argonne plan, Advanced Burner Test Reactor Preconceptual Design Report. This turned out to be something of a surprise, because it was something that IFR backers are telling us is not needed, a "proof of concept" project. It seems to me that we have been told that the IFR is ready for a commercial prototype. If the IFR is at the proof of concept stage, the argument that LFTR technology is less advanced, because the MSR technology is at a stage where a proof of concept reactor is possible, There are some significant differences. A LFTR of similar output is possible, but it might be considered to be not only a proof of concept, but also a commercial prototype. The ABTR appears to be a burner, designed to use primarily military grade Pu-239, with a little RGP thrown in. Further more it appears to be an old design that has been dusted off. Although the ABTR is capable of breeding with substantial core modifications, Argonne's primary intent is to run it within the conversion range. The highest breeding ration the ABTR is capable of is 1.07, no better than is anticipated for the LFTR.

The many-armed Buddhist god Avalokitesvara radiates compassion in Leh Palace.
Bill and Bessie Too arrive in the mountains of Ladakh
Leh, Ladakh, India
11 August 2002
The cool air and bright sun feel wonderfulI am very happy to be back in the Himalayas. Actually, there's not that much air at this 3,500-meter (11,500-foot) elevation, nearly as high as Lhasa, Tibet. Leh is a market town with surrounding villages and green fields, all overlooking the broad Indus River Valley. Ice-capped peaks of the Zanskar Range rise across the river. Barren, brown ridges of the Ladakhi Range stand above town to the north.
Flights went wellKorean Air had the cheapest fare ($752 RT) between San Francisco and Bangkok. August is high season, though I can't see why super-humid Bangkok would be popular in the rainy months. The India-Pakistan border situation looked bad two months ago, so I held off buying tickets for India until reaching Bangkok. Reservations were easy to make there for the Delhi flight and even the hard-to-get ticket on to Leh.
I arrived early Saturday morning, in time for a festival put on by the Women's Alliance of Ladakh, an organization to preserve Ladakhi traditions and improve the lives of village women. They showed off weaving skills, sold Ladakhi food (their apricot jam is yummy), sang songs, and performed dances. Ladakhi ladies wear stovepipe hats decorated with embroidery; otherwise, their dress looks much like that of the Tibetans.
Yesterday I climbed up to the 17th-century Leh Palace, which towers like a smaller version of the Potala in Lhasa. Inside the dusty passages and chambers, only the shrine room with large statues of the Buddha and Avalokitesvara (god of compassion) is well preserved. On the top floor, the king's audience hall and bedroom have wall paintings of Tibetan Buddhist symbols. There's a great panorama of the Leh area from the rooftop. This morning I climbed the L-O-N-G staircase up to Shanti Stupa, built in 1985 by a Japanese Buddhist group in support of world peace. Like others scattered around the world, it is white with four images of the Buddha depicting the most important parts of his lifehis birth, enlightenment, first teaching, and passing away. Great views here too.
I'll be doing more local sights and some short bicycle rides over the next couple of weeks, before heading south across the high passes of the Himalaya to Himachal Pradesh state. The scenery, Ladakhi villages, and Buddhist temples and monasteries are likely to be the highlights. My first roll of film is already used up!
Apricot jam bubbling over a fire
Ladakhi ladies preparing their wool for weaving.
A monk looks after an altar in Shey Gompa.
The white flower-like offerings are probably made of butter and tsampa,
two of the most important items in the daily life of Ladakhis and Tibetans.
Tikse Gompa is normally full of monks chanting or studying, but not today!
I made the mistake of visiting when the Dalai Lama was in nearby Choglamsar.
Everyone had gone to see him and Tikse was like a ghost town.
An exciting week in Ladakh
Leh, Ladakh, India
15 August 2002
It rained this weekthe clouds had enough oomph to get over the Great Himalaya Range and drop some light showers for the first time in months. On Tuesday, the rains stopped for a visit by the Dalai Lama. A large crowd gathered in the courtyard of Soma Gompa in the center of town, then waited patiently for more than an hour. Ladakhi women, dressed in their finest jewelry and turquoise-studded bonnets, lined the path and held offerings of flowers. A band of drums and oboe-like horns struck up a tune as the Dalai Lama entered the gate. He slowly walked by, smiling and nodding, seeming to make a connection with each person. After a short ceremony with monks inside the gompa, His Holiness walked back across the courtyard, again radiating happiness and compassion. He is amazing!
Today is the 55th birthday of India, and the sun was out. Nearly everyone in town gathered around the polo grounds for a parade by soldiers and uniformed school kids who marched around, swinging their arms high, as bagpipes and drums played. After a speech in Hindi by a high official, a small boy gave in English a good rendition of Nehru's original independence speech of 1947. Then followed a program of folk dances and songs, plus some short dramas. While having lunch, I saw some polo players clatter by on their ponies; there will be a polo game tomorrow.
The polo games this afternoon were fairly laid back compared with the one I saw downstream in the Indus Valley last year in Pakistanno lines of riot police were in place here! Two pairs of teams played, and those resting took their horses up into the spectator stands. Do polo players do that in England?
Leh has long been a crossroads for many cultures. Besides the native Ladakhis, there's a large settlement of Tibetan refugees nearby. Indians from all parts of the country come to do business. Kashmiris play the hard sell, soft sell, or whatever works to attract customers for their beautiful rugs, kilims, and pashmina scarves. Leh also caters to tourists, most of whom are Europeans or Israelis, though numbers are said to be down this year. Life is easy for us tourists—there are countless guesthouses, "German bakeries," restaurants, trekking agencies, and curio shops. I think the agency and shop owners outnumber the tourists! Many people come for the trekking—there's a large network of trails where people can trek from 3-4 days up to 3-4 weeks. Ponies carry the food and luggage. Costs are very low in town: a room with hot shower might cost $4, a big American breakfast or a flavorful Indian dinner would run just $3, and treks start at about $25/day all inclusive.
My plans have started to come together...on Saturday Bessie Too and I will ride down the Indus River Valley toward the Dha-Hanu area, inhabited by an Indo-Iranian people; they're mostly Buddhist but have a different culture from the Ladakhis. Dha village is as far as one can go toward Pakistan-occupied areas; even for Dha I need a permit. From Dha I'll backtrack some to take the Srinagar Road to Kargil, then turn south into Zanskar, a very remote valley with glaciers and spectacular mountains. The road entered the region only in 1981. By the time I return to Leh, it will be hosting a Ladakhi festival Sept. 1-15. I've got the permitin quadruplicatefor the Dha-Hanu area on the Indus River. So bright and early tomorrow morning I plan to hit the road for several weeks exploring the mountains and valleys to the west of Leh.
Next: Cycling to Zanskar and Back

What is your fountain of youth?
Fresh fruits, mud masks, exercise, balanced nutrition, 8 hrs. of sleep and so many other ideas for a healthy long lasting and so-called 'perfect life'. The ideas, speculations, and hard-based research are more prevalent now than ever before. Whether you want to believe in the "fountain of youth" or not is fully your decision but no matter how we look at it now, the day when all of us come to a similar conclusion is just a matter of time. That conclusion, a simple wish the wish of being younger.
For those that do not care to understand the solution to a healthier lifestyle in the form of a well-balanced diet, good hygiene, and proper supplementation, there isn't much that we can do but hope that their approach will change over time. On the other hand, for those that are looking for a wellness solution to a healthier lifestyle, much information can be shared.
Recently we turned to two specialists who with years of experience and research shared their approach to our question of how to, help your body be healthy again? Here is what they had to say.
Frustrated with the currently available treatments for osteoarthritis and aging conditions, the NWO Stem Cure, LLC companies co-founder, Bruce E. Heck, M.D., board-certified orthopedic surgeon, realized that naturally occurring substances, including herbal/natural substances and probiotics, demonstrated significant reductions of inflammation in National Institute of Health (NIH) basic science and clinical studies. Partnering with co-founder Danny (Dong Hyun) Kim, Ph.D., stem cell researcher, the company grew stronger in research on the effects of herbal and natural supplements. The studies conducted strengthened their belief in the correlation between rejuvenating your youth with the use of supplements.
With research and results came motivation to create a product line that will give a solution to sustaining a healthy diet. Joint Support Stem Cure Formula™ and Anti-Aging Stem Cure Formula™.
How it works
More than 50 million Americans have osteoarthritis. And once you get it, you've got it. It doesn't go away. Doctors aren't exactly sure what precipitates arthritis. It may simply be wear and tear, or it could be other factors, including injuries and genetics. Whatever the cause, you can do something about the effects. And you can live without the aches and aggravation.
Treatment of back pain has undergone a recent sea change. Experts now appreciate the central role of supplementation and exercise to build muscles that support the back. According to the Harvard Medical School Special Health Report, 'Back Pain: Founding solution for your aching back' – the good posture is the way you hold body while standing, sitting, or bending. If your posture is good, the bones of the spine – are correctly aligned. Low back pain has many different causes. In most cases, there are things you can do to help keep your back healthy in some you have to see your doctor for help.
Stem Cure Formula™ Joint Support was developed by a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon and Stem Cells Researchers. Stem Cure Formula™ Joint Support is a paradigm shift in joint health. To support joint health, it is felt that keeping the cells that replenish the tissues (mesenchymal stem cells and cartilage/bone cells) health is important. Multiple scientific studies demonstrate supplements (referenced below) in Stem Cure Formula™ Joint Support protects the cells and may promote chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) (20594343). For decades, watching the progression of joint destruction in individuals go unabated and unaddressed by current treatment lead to the research and investigations of alternative options available now to treat and possibly halt the deterioration and improve this disease. Stem Cure Formula™Joint Support revolutionizes current thought and approach to joint health.
Research interests include osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, sports medicine injuries, and aging since this disease process increases the risk of developing one of the previously mentioned conditions.
The wish of being younger
The battle against age-old problems like sagging skin or wrinkles is no longer a problem but a matter of approach. Getting Botox and wrinkle fillers has never been as easy as it is today and if that's how you want to settle the score with the "aging clock" we understand, we don't judge, the choice is yours. But if your life is a bit more "organic" and natural beauty is what you appreciate then you will agree, in this life, it is not about age, perfect skin or wrinkles it's about your health and your well-being. The true dilemma lies in finding a way to hold on to those youthful looks without resorting to cosmetic or plastic surgery?
As research supports science and science support skincare the dilemma begins to fade. It's simple and easy and the key is in learning to pick the right products and using them the right way. Taking that into consideration, with the support of Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging, here is our suggestion, on how you can upkeep your youth and help yourself sustain younger and more sensational-looking skin.
Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging was developed by an MD and a Ph.D. Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging is a paradigm shift in the thought of the aging process. To slow the aging process it is felt that keeping the cells that replenish the tissues (mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells) health is important. Multiple scientific studies demonstrate the individual supplement in Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging protects the cells. Also, since the human body is made of 10% human somatic cells and 90% bacterial cells, research was directed at replenishing the body with bacteria that is important to slow the aging process. Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging combines a probiotic with the natural supplement. These Individual supplements demonstrated protection against oxidative stress, decreased inflammation, and regulation of the immune system. In scientific studies, aging has been associated with declines in MSC number and function (potential to form other cells/tissues) (18241911, 23800732) Individual supplements in Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging has been shown to enhance stem cells function and may prevent aging. Stem Cure Formula™ Anti-Aging revolutionizes current thought and approach to slow the aging process.
