Chi-Chee was a laboratory monkey who was infected with a techno-organic virus and kept inside a cell in Project Mainspring, until liberated by Warlock. He joined Hope and Warlock.[1]Chi-Chee was taken prisoner by the Psi-Cops along with the team, however during the escape he was lost and taken by Mainspring.[2]It soon came to be known that Chi-Chee had symbiotic relationship with Hope and anything he feels she does. Mainspring used this in order to torture Chi-Chee and affected Hope, knowing it would draw her out hiding.[3]

Get Rid of the Accreditation Requirement
As anyone who has tried to raise angel capital knows, there are strict restrictions on taking money from individual investors. Unless, of course, those individuals are Accredited Investors as defined by federal securities law. That is, unless they are rich enough. If you don't have more than $1 million in assets or income over $200,000 per year, the law reasons, you aren't sophisticated enough to understand private equity and should thus be banned from making those investments. But this goes way beyond startup fundraising. In fact, securities law as it is currently written represents one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history from the middle class to the upper class and is against the principles of our society.
First, some (simplified) background. There are two types of equity (stock) investment: public and private.
Public equity is stock in companies that are "publicly traded" -- typically, on stock exchanges. Most of the big companies the average American knows (Google, Apple, Coca-Cola, Boeing, et cetera) are public companies, and their stock is public equity. Mutual funds, options, futures and most other derivatives contracts are forms of public equity. Anyone can buy public equity.
Private equity is stock in companies that are not publicly traded. Facebook, for instance, is a private company, and there are major restrictions on who can invest in such companies. While there are exchanges for this equity -- such as SecondMarket -- purchases must be tightly controlled to comply with securities law. "Private Equity" also includes the funds that invest in private companies, including venture funds, buyout funds, growth and distressed capital funds and a menagerie of other stuff. With a few exceptions, only accredited investors can invest in private equity.
Yet private equity, as a broad-based asset class, has traditionally outperformed public equity. Data around this is difficult to capture, since private equity is a complex field and there are no requirements for firms to report returns. However, State Street's Private Equity Index is a good place to start, and they have regularly reported private equity markets outperforming public.
And how were those returns generated? Often, at the expense of publicly traded securities -- whether it's a venture fund selling its interest in a private company to a public entity via an acquisition or a hedge fund creating outsized returns by shorting the market or making algorithmic trades. These abnormally large returns must -- by federal law -- accrue to wealthier individuals.
The argument for the accreditation requirement goes back to the inherent riskiness of private equity. But given the catastrophic losses individuals have repeatedly taken in public markets, there is simply no longer any logical reason behind the distinction. From John Maudlin's testimony to Congress in 2007:
"Why should 95% of Americans, simply because they have less than $1,000,000, be precluded from the same choices available to the rich? Why do we assume those with less than $1,000,000 to be sophisticated enough to understand the risks in stocks (which have lost trillions of investor dollars), stock options (the vast majority of which expire worthless), futures (where 95% of retail investors lose money), mutual funds (80% of which underperform the market), and a whole host of very high-risk investments, yet deem them to be incapable of understanding the risks in hedge funds"
I couldn't have said it better myself. But at least both public and private equity asset classes have positive internal rates of return -- the government actively sanctions lotteries, casinos and other means of fiscal speculation with a negative IRR. In fact, the government actively targets lower and middle class individuals with these schemes -- just see all the ads for the New York lottery in the subway. Federal and state governments are telling the lower and middle classes "You aren't smart enough to understand private equity. Why don't you put your money in the lottery instead?" This exacerbates the gap between rich and poor, further eroding the middle class.
Not only is this a massive transfer of wealth from the middle to upper classes, but it is fundamentally at odds with a mobile and meritocratic society. Why should the government restrict access to a certain class of investments by wealth? Lots of things are financially risky, like quitting your job and starting a company. Should the government save us from ourselves by requiring everyone to meet certain asset requirements before we can form an LLC, or even quit our day jobs? To take an example from outside of finance, driving a car is extremely risky. The government manages that risk by making all prospective drivers take a test to verify their driving skills. Perhaps those wishing to take part in high-risk investments should take an SEC certification exam such as the Series 7, which is required for those selling securities.
But that is still an imperfect analogy. If a clueless driver is on the road, they put everyone else at risk. If a clueless investor is buying and selling equity, they risk only themselves -- especially if they are a smaller player. But at least an exam is meritocratic in nature, whereas an asset requirement is simply oligarchical.
Yet not only will the accreditation requirement be kept, but it is likely to be raised to a minimum requirement of $2.5 million in assets, stripping access to private equity from even the upper middle class. This is clearly a bad piece of legislation, and there are a lot of people betting it will change. Given our leadership's tendency to respond to specific problems with ham-handed reform, I'm not holding my breath.

Tuesday 23rd August 2016
Being greeted by singing Willow warblers as I arrived this morning gave an insight as to what todays most numerous bird was to be ! Around fifty were estimated to be around the observatory and at the rear of the pines, with 24 trapped and ringed during the day. A Garden Warbler was a surprise catch as well and other birds of note included Green Sandpiper and Greenshank on the Broadwater. Single Pied and Spotted Flycatcher were on the NOA reserve with one more of each also present on the NWT reserve.

To raise money and awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, this is Wish Week in the Grand Canyon and Tusayan communities.
According to Beth Seely, development director for Make A Wish in northern Arizona, area businesses have been generous with their support, particularly the Squire Inn which is hosting a movie, "The Blue Butterfly," tomorrow at 7 p.m. The admission is $5 and includes popcorn and beverages.
"Businesses have been incredibly responsive to the request," Seely said. She noted that the Café Tusayan, Grand Hotel, Quality Inn, Red Feather Lodge and Seven Mile Lodge have also made outright donations or have pledged to donate a percentage of proceeds from room rentals this week.
"The Blue Butterfly" is the story of a critically-ill, wheelchair-bound boy who turns to an entomologist for help realizing his deepest wish to travel to the Costa Rican rainforest in search of a rare Blue Morpho butterfly. The movie, which stars William Hurt and Marc Donato, was the official 2004 selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and the Mill Valley Film Festival.
The Make-A-Wish Foun-dation grants wishes to children suffering life-threatening medical conditions. Its goal, according to Seely, is "to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy."
Country star Kevin Sharp is an example of the affirming nature of a granted wish. As a teen, he was diagnosed with bone cancer and the prognosis was not good. His wish, to make a record, led to a friendship with music producer David Foster who inspired the young man and opened doors for his successful career. Sharp's cancer went into remission in 1991.
"When he was back in the hospital, the record company came out to see him and get him out of bed to make more records," said Seely. "He found the strength in that drive to do something."
The Arizona chapter of Make-A-Wish in northern Arizona covers Coconino, Yavapai, Navajo, Mojave and Apache counties pretty much everything north of Phoenix, Seely said. There are 16 youngsters for whom wishes are pending. The average wish costs about $6,000 and includes the immediate family of the wish child.
"Sometimes a child wants to visit grandparents in another part of the country," she said. "Some want to go to Disneyland or Disney World, or to go to Hawaii and swim with dolphins. Sometimes they want to meet someone from television or a sports figure they admire."
One boy who wanted to conduct the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra was treated to three days of preparation with the conductor before getting his chance.
Since its inception in the early 1980s, the organization has granted more than 144,000 wishes.
The organization is in the process of granting its 2,800th wish in the state, with the support of Arizona Highway Patrolmen's Association, to send a Flagstaff teen and his family on a cruise to the Bahamas.
While financial donations make wishes possible, they also require contributions of time.
"We have volunteers in different areas," said Seely. "We need people to help at events, such as the April Walk for Wishes in Flagstaff and also people to go in pairs to meet with applicants and do the work to organize a wish."
Volunteers must go through a screening process and training, which the organization provides.
For more information, contact Seely, who lives here in Tusayan, at 928-606-5827 or call the Phoenix Make-A-Wish at 800-324-9474.

text: Share: Comments Print September 2, 2010 at 1:16 PM Seven games that could cost Felix Hernandez the Cy Young Posted by Larry Stone Despite the headline, the Cy Young momentum is definitely surging in King Felix's direction. ESPN's Jayson Stark is the latest influential columnist to come out with an endoresement of Hernandez for baseball's highest pitching honor. Yet on the same day Stark's article was published (not punished, my typo of the day), C.C. Sabathia hurled a magnificent game against Oakland today, blanking them one hit over eight innings to raise his record to 19-5. Now, Felix's numbers across the board are all better than Sabathia's, with the lone exception of win-loss. The 28 voters (two from each American League city; full disclosure: I'm one of them) will likely face, as Stark said, a referendum on New Age vs. Old Time award values. While there are other viable candidates, such as Clay Buchholz, Trevor Cahill and David Price, it's possible that it will come down to the gaudy won-loss record of Sabathia, which could reach into the 22 or 23 range, versus the overall domination of Felix undermined by something like an 11-12 or 12-11 record. I actually think that Felix can still win under those circumstances. The electorate of the Baseball Writers Association of America is far more enlightened than it used to be when it comes to evaluating pitchers (position players, too, for that matter). It's not a particularly difficult concept to understand that a pitcher's win-loss record is reliant on matters partly out of his control, especially run support and bullpen. Just to drive home that point, here are seven games from Hernandez in which he didn't get a victory: April 5, vs. Oakland: On Opening Day, Hernandez and the Mariners are holding a 3-1 lead after six. He gets two quick outs in the seventh, then walks Mark Ellis and Travis Buck. Sean White replaces him, and gives up RBI singles to Cliff Pennington and Rajai Davis to allow Oakland to tie the game. The Mariners score two in the ninth to win, 5-3, for Brandon League. May 13, at Baltimore: Hernandez pitches seven strong innings, limiting the Orioles to five hits and one run. He leaves with a 5-1 lead, only to have League give up five runs in the eighth. The Orioles win 6-5, and Hernandez gets a no-decision. May 29, at Los Angeles Angels: Hernandez pitches another strong game, limiting the Angels to one run on six hits through eight innings. But the score is 1-1 when he's pulled, so no decision for Felix. The Angels go on to win 5-1 on Kendry Morales's ill-fated grand slam in the 10th off League. June 24 vs. Cubs: Felix works nine innings, limiting Cubs to five hits while striking out eight, but the game is tied 2-2 after regulation. In the fourth, the M's had the bases loaded with no outs, but couldn't score. In the ninth, they had first and secord, one out, and again couldn't score. The Cubs won 3-2 in 13, the loss going to Garrett Olson. July 5, vs. Royals: He leaves with a 4-2 lead after seven strong innings, but League gives up two in the eighth to eliminate Hernandez's victory. The Royals scored two in the 10th to win 6-4. July 21 vs. White Sox: Hernandez blanks White Sox on two hits, striking out eight, in eight innings. But the game is scoreless when he is removed. The Mariners go on to win 2-1 in 11, but the victory goes to League, who gave up a run in the top of the 11th only to have the M's score two in the bottom. Aug. 31, vs. Angels: Hernandez blanks the Angels on three hits over seven innings, but again the Mariners can't score, either. Another agonizing no-decision. The M's eventually win, 3-1, the W going to League. Those are seven no-decisions that could easily have been victories, which would raise Hernandez's record to 17-10, greatly strengthening his Cy Young position. And he's had a few losses in which a little run support could have changed the L to a W. Here are the Mariners' run totals in Hernandez's 10 losses: 1, 3, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1 (a total of 12 — 1.2 per game). You're not going to get many victories with that kind of support, no matter how well you pitch. With better bullpen and run support, Hernandez could have a record every bit as glossy as Sabathia. I trust voters to recognize that. (Felix Hernandez pitches against the Angels last Tuesday, another tough-luck outing in which he didn't receive a decision. Photo by Associated Press). Comments

Advanced TV is a hot topic circling the advertising industry right now. The category—especially addressable TV—holds the promise of digital advertising targeting but through a traditional TV delivery and in a communal, at-home setting.
Naturally, there are a lot of questions about the new medium, particularly how it actually works and how the technology will evolve. To answer some of these questions, we chatted with Brian Katz, Eyeview's new Vice President of Advanced TV Insights and Strategy. With a long history in TV advertising analytics, including positions at NBCUniversal and TiVo, Katz has quite a few ideas around why addressable TV is gaining momentum, how brands should plan for it and what an ideal future for this nascent industry could be.
You've been around the TV industry for quite some time. From an advertising perspective, what has been the most significant change you've seen?
Brian Katz: "Accountability" has been the primary term used in the past few years. Agencies and clients are very frustrated with how things have traditionally run; frustration with measurement, frustration with ad-serving technologies, frustration with transparency and agency relationships, etc. This push to accountability is coming directly from the marketers and advertisers themselves, and their efforts are finally starting to move the industry forward.
The next evolution will be to outcome-based measurement for TV as this is ideally where the industry wants to go. We've been caught up in the Nielsen/ComScore game for so long now, but they still haven't nailed down cross-platform measurement. That system doesn't really speak to outcomes that much—it primarily measures eyeballs and GRPs.
TV advertising has been a tried-and-true marketing method for a very long time. What will it take to convince more brands and advertisers that addressable TV is the future?
BK: Managing addressable TV and outcomes-based measurement is not easy—it's a complicated business, and there are only a few that are doing it well. There is no doubt in my mind that marketers would want to move in this direction because the value is certainly there, but we need more education in the industry to make them comfortable to actually tap into solutions. More education will lead to greater penetration.
It's up to companies like Eyeview to help break through the confusion and status quo that comes with simple and robust solutions. It's a partnership where we have been helping to educate clients and help them walk before they run.
Since addressable TV is relatively new for many brands, how can advertisers shift their thinking around TV budgets to allow for new offerings?
"The key is to explore and learn right now. If you're going to fail, then fail forward."
BK: It's important to experiment and play in the space because it's where the future will be. I'm curious to see where budgets come from. Brands could take linear TV budgets and start allocating some for addressable, which may or may not work. Brands might want to consider moving budgets from media that is no longer as impactful or has maximized impact—such as print or email—to try addressable.
This is a great time to do some testing and learning while also applying best practices from digital around creative versioning and outcome-based metrics. Other areas like connected TV might be an interesting way to experiment with millennials and younger viewers who have cut the cord. These are great technologies, and the key is to explore and learn right now. If you're going to fail, then fail forward.
Advanced TV tends to put a spotlight on the issue of how siloed video advertising has been in the past—with different budgets, teams and departments dedicated to "social video," "digital video" or "TV advertising." How is the industry responding to these challenges?
BK: As the silos are now breaking down on the agency side where it used to be TV, digital and social teams—which still do exist in many cases—agencies are becoming platform agnostic and shifting to "video" teams. I would hope that budgets are thought of that way as well.
It's no longer "TV" or "digital" or "social," it's about video across all platforms and allocating budgets according to the platform that is most likely to drive the results you want. What marketers really want is to be able to optimize their video across screens, to be able to see what's working and what's not working in real time so they could shift inventory to the media or screen that is performing best for a single campaign.
There are a lot of big players in the TV space—networks, cable providers, advertisers—making it difficult to determine how the industry will evolve. What do you expect we'll see in the coming years as advanced TV starts to mature?
BK: Everybody will want to get their proper share of the advertising pie. Agencies may favor a programmatic marketplace, but the publishers—the networks—don't want their inventory purchased this way as it commoditizes the business and drives pricing down. It then becomes a race to the bottom, and networks want to preserve the premium value of their inventory. There was a recent MediaPost article that spoke to the massive influence that procurement has on the ad-decisioning process and that 79 percent of surveyed marketers and agency execs think these decisions should be made in a more strategic manner than just price. We must move to a more strategic mindset to make advertising more effective.
Regarding addressable TV, I'm not sure that the cable providers are ready or willing to move forward together as an industry just yet. They're still trying to figure out their own internal structures and how to best optimize their businesses. We very much appreciate the partnership we have with them and are excited to be able to weave addressable together on a national scale.
Advanced TV is making waves for marketers. See how a cross-screen campaign delivered 3X ROAS for a leading brand.

Now that Labor Day is over, the rule is, you are no longer supposed to wear white. Well I don't follow the rules (and I think that one is a bunch of crap anyway). Still, if you are someone who is tentative to wear white after Labor Day, I've hunted down some great transitional white(ish) items to take you through Fall, and even to the Winter. Don't worry, no one will call you out for wearing any of these. The only comments you'll be getting are "I love that!" and "where did you get that?!". Trust me.
*images via
The key to wearing white after labor day without looking too summery is to layer, or to wear an off white such as a winter white. Throw on a white silk dress with a brown leather jacket. Put a white blouse or tank under a deep colored blazer. Wear some off white jeans or khakis with a big chunky sweater. Tuck a white button up into a wool skirt. Pair an off-white skirt with a black blouse and heels. And last, one of the easiest ways to wear white is to pick a piece with some extra texture, or colored accents, like the black and white lace J.Crew blouse below (isn't it gorgeous!?).
Collection Silk Shoulder Lace Blouse // 2.
Micah Cable Knit Sweater
Chimala Ankle Jean // 4.
Collection Cashmere Sweater // 5.
Campagne Skirt // 6.
Casper Pant // 7.
Grace Blouse // 8.
Drape Front Dress
So don't pack those awesome white pieces away! Quit following the rules and rock those white pants this fall!

How to Build Your Online Community & Establish Your Brand
Welcome to the second installment of The Mom Blog Collective: How to Build and Online Community and Define Your Brand. If you're new here, here's the scoop. Every other week, our group of amazing and inspiring mamas will answer the same set of questions to do with blogging, Instagram, photography, collaborations, sponsored posts, balancing it all with motherhood, and more. We each have different perspectives and different opinions, so this is a fun way to learn from one another. We hope you'll join along! Check out the hashtag #themomblogcollective to see everyone on Instagram, and I will also link you to all of the amazing blog posts here at the bottom of my post!
Since I was on vacation a few weeks ago, I missed the first installment, but at the bottom of this post I will link everyone & you can read what they wrote! I did, however, want to give you a little background as to when & why I started a blog in the first place! I actually have been blogging since 2010, but ended up deleting that blog since I rarely posted. Fast forward to 2013 & I was about 8 months pregnant with Oliver & I really wanted to document the process & our family life. I really had no idea where it would lead at the time, but I just wanted to share our life with friends & family! Then came Instagram (actually that was first), & I just grew it from there.
I get a lot of questions asking about my blog & Instagram & where to start. I really enjoy answering them, but now it will be easier to have all the information here for you all! Here are a few questions we will be answering this week!
1. In your mind, how do you define your "brand" & what process did you take to create your brand?
First off, you have to decide what you are wanting to accomplish. I have always loved home products, motherhood tips, recipes, traveling & just overall lifestyle topics. I knew that I wanted to create an environment that had all these things because in order to grow, you have to enjoy what you do. If you really love food & recipes, yet think you will grow more with a fashion blog/Instagram, people will notice. You have to be authentic to what you love. My rule is to always post things that I would like & things that I already use! I decided to use my blog & Instagram to showcase all those things I love & I do not limit myself in a particular niche. Some people do & if that is what you love, then go for it!
2. How did you grow on Instagram in an organic, natural way?
I started posting on Instagram back in early 2012 as a fun outlet for photos of our lives & of course, food photos! I look back at some of the photos I posted & wonder what I was thinking. There was a photo of a cheese log from a Christmas party that I took & if you weren't at the party, you would have NO idea what it actually was! But, other than the occasional food posts every now & then, I have really used Instagram to post photos that I love & it started to grow from there. The main key is to post photos that YOU love. You want to enjoy your Instagram & if you don't, you aren't going to want to post. Aesthetic is also a huge factor, especially for me. It has taken years for me to build what type of aesthetic I want for my Instagram & even then, I sometimes change it a bit. I have noticed though, that everyone gravitates to certain Instagram accounts. Whether you like white & bright or warmer & cozier photos or even a mixture of both, experiment with different options! Lastly, consistency is key. If you post one photo every week or once every few weeks, people will forget or it just won't show up on their feeds because of the algorithm (which that is a whole other topic that I will touch on later).
3. How do you engage with your followers & why is that important to you & your success?
ENGAGEMENT is huge! Replying back to comments is a great way to build not only your Instagram, but relationships as well. I remember following big accounts & would comment on almost every photo & feeling let down when they would never comment back or answer a question I had. That has always stuck with me & to this day, I try & reply to every comment. Of course, I am a mom & a wife & so sometimes I just do not have time, but I do try & go back & answer a question or message that someone has. Another thing is to remember we are all the same. Just because someone has over 100k, does not make them better/higher up than a person that has only 100 followers. If you want lasting relationships, you have to try! So, responding to comments or direct messages on Instagram has been such a tremendous help in growing my Instagram. Another thing is to engage with other Instagram accounts that you follow! It is easy to double click on a photo, but to actually engage with another person on their Instagram means you are building a great relationship that will last!
4. In what ways have you created community through your blog & or Instagram & how has that helped you?
I really started growing my Instagram & blog back in 2014. I worked on my photography & editing & also engaging in different groups with like-minded individuals that wanted to grow. I joined blogger Facebook & Instagram groups, did a lot of Instagram chat loops, follow fridays & mom crush mondays. All of these have helped me grow & build relationships with other women. In reality, community with other women has been my favorite. I feel like I have hundreds of friends & some I have even met in real life.
Bottom line, my best advice is to love what you post because other people will notice! If you aren't thrilled with something you are doing, then what makes you think other's will? Just be authentic to yourself & always remember that we all started at zero!
Thank you all so much for reading & i really hope you took away a little bit from this post! Here are some amazing mamas & their posts on this topic!

Redistricting panel gets another overhaul
New proposal calls for 10-member commission, 2014 vote is next step
ALBANY — In what may be the last partisan floor debate over redistricting for the next decade, state senators voted to reconfigure the panel charged with the once-a-decade process.
Twenty Democrats dissented. This was the second time the Senate has approved the reconfiguration in the last two years, and Wednesday's passage will put the commission up for a vote in 2014.
Redistricting was handled last year and for the past several cycles by the panel known as LATFOR, which is controlled by Democrats who dominate the Assembly and Republicans who control the Senate. Good-government groups have said the partisan system results in district lines designed to benefit incumbents.
Under the new plan, LATFOR's six members would be replaced by a 10-member commission. The Republican and Democratic conferences in both the Assembly and Senate would each appoint two members, and those eight members would have to agree on the final two members.
But, as several Democrats pointed out, the proposed amendment does not contemplate the new coalition of Republican and Independent Democratic Conference senators that now runs the Senate.
In Wednesday's debate, mainstream Democrats attacked a provision in the amendment that would give Republicans veto power if Democrats controlled the majority in the Senate and Assembly. (The same would be true if the parties were reversed.)
"For the first time in New York history, there's a proposal to change the constitution to require a different number of votes to pass legislation depending on which party is in charge," said Queens Sen. Mike Gianaris, the deputy Democratic leader.
Republican Sen. Mike Nozzolio, who co-chaired LATFOR, said the distinction was made to protect the rights of minority-party voters. He said questions about how the formula would accommodate the third state Senate conference were "hypothetical."
"That is a question of law that would be answered by the attorneys and the courts at that time," Nozzolio said.
Good-government groups were split on the amendment.
"The proposed constitutional amendment sets up a hyperpartisan, expensive and ineffective structure for redistricting," said Common Cause Executive Director Susan Lerner. " ... Ultimately this is not an independent process, and the voters lose."
Citizens Union Executive Director Dick Dadey said the new panel "forces compromise and consensus."

An Integral Approach to management and human development based on the spiritual vision of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother with an emphasis on its application to various domains of knowledge and life.
Much has been said and written about "Value Education", which has become one of the buzzwords of the present educational scene. There is at present a growing consensus among educational thinkers that moral lessons and sermons are the most ineffective way to inculcate values in the young minds. They touch only the superficial layers of the student's mind. But, unless the values become concrete to the feeling and sensation of the learner, they don't sink into his or her consciousness. Here is an illustrative story on how to make value education more effective. The story is not fictional, but an actual episode in the life of a teacher in a venerable educational institution in India.
He is a teacher very much respected and admired by his students. On that day he said to his small group of students: "Today I have some interesting work for you. Let us go to the playground". The boys gathered around the teachers who led them to the playground pushing his old crackling cycle. The boys were intrigued and amused by a large bag hanging in the cycle of their teacher!
In the playground, the teacher placed his cycle in the midst of the students and after taking out the big bag he told the young group: "Now dismantle my cycle. Tear it apart". The boys pounced on the cycle like a pack of wolves. After half an hour there was no cycle, but only a bunch of cycle parts scattered all over. And the boys looked triumphantly at the teacher waiting for his next instruction. The teacher said "wonderful work, now assemble it and give me my cycle back". Again, the boys went to work enthusiastically, not knowing that while it is easy to dismantle a cycle, it is very difficult to assemble it back without experience and skill in the trade.
The teacher sat down and looked at the boys with an amused smile as they were struggling to assemble the cycle parts. One hour passed and the boys were tired and perplexed, unable to fit together the parts of the cycle. The teacher allowed one more hour for the boys to struggle with his torn-down cycle. And finally, he got up and said with a smile "So you are not able to do it. But without my cycle how can I come back to school in the evening?" The boys looked at the teacher exhausted and helpless. The teacher said encouragingly "Never mind, put all these parts in this bag. Some of you take the wheels. Let us go to Ganesh's cycle shop."
As they neared the cycle shop, the teacher and the owner of the shop, Ganesh, exchanged a knowing smile, because the teacher had already told Ganesh about the experiment he was going to make with his boys. The teacher told Ganesh "See what these wicked fellows have done to my cycle. Please restore my cycle to me." Ganesh turned to his young twelve year old assistant Ramu and said, "do it, fast". As the boys watched in amazement, Ramu started working with his deft, skillful and experience hands. Within half an hour, the teacher's cycle was brought back to life. The teacher turned to the boys and said "Look what you people, a bunch of six grownup boys, are not able to do even after struggling for two hours, Ramu was able to do single handedly within half an hour. So next time when you look at him, don't consider him as a lowly cycle shop boy. Treat him with the respect due to a master-craftsman."
The teacher could have given a lofty sermon on the value of the dignity of labour and the boys would have gone to sleep! But this teacher knew how to impart value-education in the true way.

Head down to Brooklyn this weekend for an unlimited taco and cocktail festival that you don't want to miss!
It's National Taco Day! Here's seven great restaurants to get your fill of tasty tacos.
A woman walks up to the bar, attracting the gaze of a strapping Latin bartender. He asks, "How are you?" Her answer comes quick and dry. "I'll be better after a margarita." And so began my Los Americanos experience. The bar/casual restaurant hybrid has a Central and South American vibe, packing big aesthetics into a small space just South of Canal St. in Tribeca.

BIDMC Installs Sorenson Communications Videophone for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Patients
New Videophone Enables Individuals Who Use American Sign Language to Place Free Calls through an On-Screen Interpreter
A Teaching Hospital of Harvard Medical School, April 7, 2009
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has installed a Sorenson videophone - a device that enables Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing callers to conduct conversations through a video relay system using American Sign Language (ASL). The service allows patients to call other Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing people directly, or a non-Deaf person using an online qualified ASL interpreter. BIDMC is one of the first hospitals in the Northeast with a videophone system in a central, public lobby.
"I am thrilled that BIDMC can provide this service for our Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing patients to communicate in their primary language of ASL," said Shari Gold-Gomez, Interpreter Services. "It allows them to fully express themselves during calls to hearing individuals or other Deaf individuals."
To use a videophone, the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing person enters the phone number of the hearing individual they are calling on the videophone. The videophone is connected to a television and high-speed Internet. A qualified ASL interpreter appears on the screen, connects them, and relays the conversation between them and the hearing party receiving the call on a standard phone line.
"English is often a second language for many Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people so this is a better way for them to communicate than typing on a TTY device," said Robert Chiaramonte, C.I., C.T., Legal C-6, Interpreter Services. "This technology allows Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals to use ASL, which for them is their native language."
The video relay service is a welcome alternative after years of text-based messaging, which often requires turn-taking and long waits for messages to be delivered. By contrast, the video phone connects Deaf individuals with the hearing world in real-time.
"The goal is to break down communication barriers and give equal access to the Deaf community to make phone calls while they are at the medical center," said Gold-Gomez. "This device will provide an essential service for all patients and families to relay important health care information and to notify anyone who is concerned about a patient's condition."From the BIDMC Newsletter.

NHL Betting Odds and Picks 2019/20Read this article
NBA Odds and Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks
Memphis Grizzlies: Home cooking as aided a red-hot run
Mediocre at best out of the starting gate, Memphis closed out the 2015 portion of their 2015-16 NBA schedule with a 18-16 record, the Grizzlies have picked up the pace in the New Year. January has spurred an awakening for the Grizzlies as Memphis has posted an 8-4 mark over twelve games this month. Home cooking has helped as the Grizzlies are 6-1 at the FedExForum during the New Year and they are 11-1 over their last twelve matches at home. While Memphis needs to work on their 26th ranked scoring offense, that's averaging 96.8 PPG, defense is the M.O. for the Grizzlies as their 99.0 PPG allowed is the sixth best mark in the league. Memphis is 17-7 at home this year.
Milwaukee Bucks: Haven't been able to build on their success from last season
Although the NBA Eastern Conference was fairly weak, Milwaukee posted a 41-41 record and earned the #6 seed in the playoffs last season. It was a remarkable turn around after the Bucks finished last in the league with 15-67 mark during the previous season – the worst record in their 46-year franchise history. The losing ways have returned however as Milwaukee is 20-27 and sit 13th overall in the Eastern Conference – though just four points out of a playoff spot. The Bucks have been somewhat better recently, with a 7-6 record in the New Year, and they are coming off a 107-100 home win over Orlando on Tuesday night. At 7-20 Milwaukee melts on the road.
Milwaukee vs Memphis NBA Prediction: The Home of the Blues hasn't been kind to the Bucks recently as they are 0-4 in Memphis dating back to November 22, 2009. That said, the venue hasn't really mattered at all as the Grizzlies have mauled Milwaukee while winning eight of the last nine matches. We have a strength vs strength battle here as the Bucks NBA best 49.3 PPG scored in the paint will be challenged by the Grizzlies who are holding opponents to a league low 37.9 PPG inside the key. Make some hay with Memphis and a five-unit wager on the money line price posted on the NBA betting board at SportsInteraction. Click the odds image below for Live NBA action.

A :30s TV/Web spot for Cheeriocraft!
We built a tool that allowed us to build complex structures and landscapes out of individual Cheerios, giving us great flexibility in our designs
Our rendering pipeline allowed us to play with more advanced lighting features such as volumetric fog, sun rays, and bounce lighting to really bring the Cheeriocraft world to life
The castle structure was built out of modular pieces, allowing us to design the walls and towers out of prebuilt blocks
Our 'test' island, where we tested different rendering and build methods for the larger island, with much shorter rendering times
An early animation test placing Buzz in a test world where he could move around
The iconic Buzz character rendered in a Minecraft style!
The viewport picture shows the size of the island, with each pixel being a stack of 3 Cheerios. We used Z height data to determine what kind of cheeioro was created, giving us snowy mountain tops, forested jungles, and deserts!

Implementation of a Hostname Cache that holds DHCP Hostname events that can be used to enhance existing Host identification with the addition of more user friendly hostnames.
Hostname resolution enables the analyst to more easily identify hosts by their (typically) human readable name without performing an additional manual lookup. Having the hostnames available also assists in the identification of rogue devices and in the attribution of threats.
Identifying hosts is key to any network security product. Our hostname cache ensures analysts can track host activity regardless of dynamic IP.
Using this information we're able to more easily pick up unauthorised, new, or forgotten devices connected to the network that may be vulnerable to attack. This also enhances our ability to monitor lifecycles of potentially malicious behaviour especially if the malicious activity extends beyond the IP lease period for the network.
This update is sensor based, and will be pushed to all managed customers at the pre-agreed upgrade time. Self-monitored customers can update their own sensors using the software upgrade process. If you have any further questions about this upgrade please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

I don't know where to start ! Has this been one of the most exciting adventures of my life ?...yes ! Would I do it again ...mmmm , have to think on that, If I did , I would have to go further North , definately ! Would I live here longer, I think so , assuming I had a 4 wheeler, skido, 4 wheel drive truck, and a couple of loaded rifle's !! and hung out with the Inuit.
I like the Inuit peoples, not terrible fond of some of the white people hanging around here, a lot of misfits, but their everywhere I guess. The Inuit are a community minded group,very kind .They take care of each other, at least in the smaller communities. A whale is caught, it is shared by all, as is caribou or any large animal. A good way to live. But how long this will last with the influence of Southerners is unknown.
The Government is here and they are after the resources. Why else would you be in this part of the world ? Sure as heck , not for the beaches and palm trees : ) !!
But it has been an adventure for sure, one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a complete change in cuture or just a change of scenery. There are not many people who can say they have lived on Baffin Island, thats for sure !
Never say never

This upgrades include battery life, body design, button layout, though screen and a few other obvious changes that Sony will make. What most of us are really interested in though, are the video specs and recording options that will be available with the new camera.

Asaf Greiner, Founder & CEO at Protected Media, Adby's Anti-Fraud technology partner, writes:
The digital ad space will continue to grow and prosper in 2017, but so will certain risks. There will be more opportunities for ad placements within mobile apps and mobile messaging programs. There will also be the risk that only a low percentage of the ads will be viewable.
As a result, the currency has switched from a served impression to a viewable impression. So what exactly is viewability and are measurements useful? It depends on who you ask.

April 11th: Significantly Better Day
Miles Today: 13.5
Mile Marker: 375.3 Ash Gap
I guess I woke up on the right side of the tent this morning. Last night I camped on a ridgeline with my tent oriented to catch the morning sunrise. I woke up a little more motivated today and got going about an hour sooner. I sat and stared at the mountains eating my breakfast as the sunlight washed over the valley. Much better start to the day.
The first half of the day flew by. I felt like I was back in the groove. So much so that I accidentally stepped on a snake. It was some small non-venmous snake, so it wasn't a big deal. I had my headphones in and was cruising along when all of a sudden, I was though "Wait was that a snake?" I turned around and this little foot and a half long snake had its head turned toward me with this "What the hell man!?" expression on its face. While I do hate snakes, I did apologize. It gave me pause about wearing both earbuds while I hike, but I ultimately decided it's no big deal. If I have a similar encounter with one of the bitey diey types, I might change my mind.
The forecast for tonight calls for a 50% chance of rain, but the clouds are looking like they are going to deliver. I was able to stop early before it gets here at a campsite with water instead of heading up to the shelter. I likely could have made it, but another couple of miles today doesn't affect my schedule for resupply. No reason to risk it right now.

Blinded by the light.
The looming global energy crisis has the search for ways to harness renewable energy highly motivated; wind, water, and solar energy are among some of the energy sources to potentially draw from. Solar radiation is of the most consistent and abundant sources out there, however our technological inability to harness it properly makes current solar energy production low.
Much of the problem lies in the fact that Earth is a dynamic environment and trying to catch sunlight is affected by the atmosphere, vegetation, Earth's rotation, and wildlife among other things.
In the 1941 Issac Asimov published a short story that depicted a space station that absorbed radiation from orbit and beamed it to distant planets in the form of microwave lasers. This spurred the interest in Space-Based Solar Panels, or SBSP; a solar collection system virtually unaffected by Earth's influence, able to function 24 hours a day, as well as collecting vast quantities of energy.
The technology of photovoltaic cells has been well developed and even the technology to transfer power through microwave laser beams (unaffected by gas in Earth's atmosphere) exists. Of course the question of whether or not a system like this would be built boils down to one elusive necessity: money.
The cost of transporting material to space is too high to make a major project like this possible.
In 1999 NASA implemented the Space Solar Power Exploratory Research and Technology program to investigate SBSP. They concluded that transportation costs must lower to around 100-200$ per kg to be economically viable. As it stands, current prices are in the thousands of dollars per kilogram with RND projects from companies like SpaceX projecting future missiles such as the Falcon Heavy to cost around 450$ per kilogram at best.
Although this implies a bleak future for the hopes of an SBSP project there is one saving grace that could turn everything around. Ideas of building a Space-Elevator to transport people and material into space have been in development for some time, especially with the creation of the world's strongest and most flexible material, graphene.
In fact the company Obayashi out of Japan have seriously considered a project that could be completed by as early as 2050. The construction of a space-elevator would reduce costs of transporting material to space to about 220$ per kg according to space engineer Bradley C. Edwards. With a space-elevator in place, constructing an SBSP array becomes a realistic possibility. While the upfront costs of a space-elevator are very high, the energy provided by potential SBSP arrays could induce a steady flow of capital that could be put towards this initial cost.
With some more minds like Issac Asimov and a little imagination perhaps the answer to save our future will be illuminated by the blinding brilliance of our own star, the Sun.

We Do Not Celebrate Valentine's Day
1. February 14 was an old celebration to Juno Februata, the Roman goddess of sexual passion.
2. It included pairing adolescents by chance drawings for casual sex and going steady.
3. February 15 was the pagan feast of Lupercalia, celebrated in Rome long before Christ.
4. The pagan feast day Lupercalia was a fertility rite and celebration of superstitious Romans.
5. Lupercus, the Roman god after which the holiday is named, was the pagan god of fertility.
6. Cupid, an essential part of Valentine's Day lore and customs, was the Roman god of love.
7. Lupercalia customs included casual sex, going steady, and marriage based on mere chance.
8. Saint Valentine, of which there are seven, was only a saint in Rome's opinion, not God's.
9. In 494 AD, the Pope whitewashed Juno Februata and Lupercalia as Saint Valentine's Day.
10. Our Lord commanded us to come out of Roman religion and reject her sins (Rev 18:4).
11. Our God commanded us to come out of false religion and not even touch it (II Co 6:14-17).
12. Christians have no agreement with winged red devils that shoot arrows of lust into hearts.
13. It honors infatuation and lust: both are contrary to Christian love (I Cor 13:4-7; Eph 5:25).
14. Only lust occurs by fiery darts in the heart; love is the conscious choice to serve another.
15. Christians marry only in the Lord, and they are very sober about love (I Cor 7:39; 11:11).
16. We wish to make a statement against the fornication and lasciviousness of this generation.
17. Love is of God, while lust is of man; therefore we will only celebrate love Scripturally.
18. It is highly esteemed among men, so it must be an abomination to God (Luke 16:15).
19. We are totally committed against spiritual adultery by worldly associations (James 4:4).
20. God condemns customs of other gods to be an abomination to Him (Ezekiel 8:1-18).
