The fatty has returned
August 2, 2014
So, my depression has been pretty bad lately which for me means increased late night binges caused by sleeping all day and comfort eating at random points. The lack of structure in my diet combined with my inability to leave the house means my weight has visibly ballooned, but I'm ready to take control again. I leave for Barcelona with my mates on the 20th August so I have less than 3 weeks to shed this extra weight. What a challenge.
Anyway, today I have eaten:
B – nothing (0)
L – boiled egg white (17)
S – approx. 8 boiled sweets (64)
D – salad (200) and pepsi max (2)
= 283 calories
I'm considering going for a run later in the evening to get some physical activity and speed up the weight loss process. Tomorrow I will be better; by that I mean I won't shove eight sweets into my mouth at snack time, though I am pleased that I stopped there and it didn't turn into a binge, which it so easily could have done… Anyway, until Barca I'm not allowing myself to eat more than 300 calories daily and I also must burn some of it off either by going for long walks or jogging in the evening (because it won't be so hot and unbearable!)
EDIT: later this night I went for a run, which was really terrible. I can't believe how unfit I've become. What have I been doing to my body?? When I got back I felt really faint and ended up eating 10 more sweets (80) bringing my calorie intake up to 363 hahahah I hate myself. To make up for it thought I've just done loads of exercises in my room, including 100 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 leg lifts on each side and other random bits. Hopefully that cancels out the sweets a bit, but to be safe I'm being much stricter tomorrow.
Today's intake
July 7, 2014
Breakfast: 4 rich tea biscuits (152) and yoghurt (40)
Lunch: thai gren curry with 1/4 potato and mixed vegetables (200)
Snacks: 10 cherries (40) go ahead snack bar (148) 1 biscuit (55)
Dinner: 1 small corn on the cob (98) and tea (15)
= 748 calories

2013: Health and Reaching Goals
January 7, 2013
Today has been great so far, food wise. On New Years I decided that I wanted 2013 to be the year I finally reached my goal of losing weight and eventually finding happiness in myself and my body. In order for this to happen, it dawned on me that I would therefore need to adopt a more healthier approach to dieting which includes several changes that I began today (a week late, but I needed time to adjust and get back into a normal routine after the Christmas break!).
These are the changes: – an increased calorie intake limit of 1000 calories – more fruit and vegetables incorporated – making an effort to walk more daily – increasing the amount of water consumed – stressing less about calorie content – allowing myself healthy and yummy snacks – sticking to a bedroom exercise routine I'm really pleased with my choices to be more healthy and give my body what it wants and needs, rather than denying it of certain nutrients for the sake of losing weight, only to stuff my face later on and feel crappy. I want this to be a lifestyle change, mot a quick-fix, crash diet.
Here is what I have eaten so far today, and what I plan to have for dinner in a couple of hours:
B – two honey and oats belvita breakfast biscuits (58)
S – a medium apple (60)
L – rice and chilli con carne (284) with vegetables (30)
S – one raisin brunch bar (150)
D – two wholemeal toasts (210) with peanut butter (68) and banana slices (90)
= 900 calories
I have a really great feeling about 2013.
New beginnings – I feel so great!
November 12, 2012
Right, so as those of you who follow me already know, I've returned to restricting mode but with an increased limit of 700 calories (ew it seems so much when I type it but I know it's the right thing to do) and since I'm having a new start, I thought it'd make sense to sit down for minutes and make a daily food plan. This is what I usually prefer having because it helps to keep the structure and I'm more likely to stick to it if it's all mapped out and ready. Plus it means I am less likely to give up and binge because I'm eating more now and at regular intervals. On the bus journey home from sixth form, I made two different meal plans – one for the weekdays when I have school, and another for weekends. I thought some of you may be interested in reading what I will be eating and maybe you might want to copy it as it is extremely filling and pretty healthy, not to mention yummy!
Click here!! to read my weekday meal plan
Click here!! to read my weekend meal plan
I feel so motivated and ready to finally start losing weight and feeling good about myself because right now I am just big sack of lard; it's pathetic. As for today's intake:
B – toast w/ jam (118) and tea (15)
L – weight watchers beef lasagna (247) eurgh this tasted horrible, I won't be buying this one again!
S – special k biscuits (98) and medium orange (55)
D – baked beans (60) w/ boiled egg white (17)
= 610 calories
Today has been such a great day! I don't feel guilty about eating that much because I'm just full and satisfied so there is no chance I'll be scoffing my face later on. Hopefully I can keep this up for the rest of the week, and the week after that haha. I usually slip up and binge by Wednesday but I don't see that happening this time, because I'm just feeling so positive about everything.
I hope you're all have a good day, too!
Currently 15 hours into my fast
August 29, 2012
Today I began fasting, as promised in my previous text post. It's going pretty well, I think. I have a slight stomach pain but I'm not feeling too hungry or anything and I'm so motivated that I could last for at least three days – it'd be great if I actually made it until school opened though. A clothing website that I'm registered with (asos.com) sent me a magazine today with all the new items they have in stock, and as a little treat they also sent a bar of Galaxy chocolate. It was yum. Well, I wouldn't know if it was yum or not because I didn't eat any of it! Yeah, not even a tiny square. Instead I shared it out with my family and went upstairs with a mug of ice water. I felt proud which is a change from the feelings I've had recently (guilt and shame). I'm still fat though, let's not forget.
At midday, I decided it would do me good to go for a walk, so I walked quite briskly to the shopping centre (I usually get the bus which is only 10 minutes) and it took me 20 minutes. I looked around at the shops and found a pair of caramel heeled ankle boots for half price! I ended up buying them after trying them on twice and debating with myself in my head. They're gorgeous.
I'm only allowing myself to have water, diet fizzy drinks, and tea. Sadly we've run out of green tea which sucks but normal tea bags will have to do. I haven't decided yet if I'll be having my usual black tea with a teaspoon of brown sugar (15 calories) or if I'll cut out any calories completely. Maybe I should have it with sugar every morning, just to help me keep on with this.
This post is completely all over the place. I don't think it made any sense. Oh well… Wish me luck!
Ah, I can't eat this soup
August 25, 2012
I tried my best, but I really can't. It's horrible and I have such a terrible pain in my stomach that I just can't shake. It may be because I'm about to start my period, I don't know.
Anyway, that means my calorie intake today is not 271.
271 – (76 / 2) = 233 calories
It's taking me an hour to finish this soup
August 25, 2012
Today has been successful in terms of eating, which is usual when I'm on day one of getting back on track. In terms of exercise, I've been pretty pathetic (which, sadly, is always completely usual) despite my earlier promises of making an effort. Someone needs to give me a massive kick up the bum. I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers, haha.
Anyway, my intake:
B – nothing, I woke up late (0)
L – potatoes (48), sweetcorn (28) w/ gravy (15)
S – diet coke (1), marshmallows (50), tea w/ brown sugar (15), ice lolly (14)
D – tomato soup (76), two slices of melba toast (24)
= 271 calories
At the moment, I am struggling through a tin of Weight watchers tomato soup. It's cold now and I can't bring myself to eat any more, but I have to because I know I will be hungry in an hour but won't be allowed to eat anything else. Aahhhh. If anyone wants to come here and help me polish off this 76 calorie soup, be my guest!
I have high hopes for tomorrow.
I'm so broke, thanks to my lovely(!) boyfriend
July 23, 2012
This is so shit – my parents gave me over £200 for my birthday in May yet here I am with only £20 left of it. And why? Well, because I had to fork out £160 for my boyfriend to stay in a hotel for two nights. Arrghh, it's so annoying. I don't have a job and my parents don't give me pocket money over the holidays, plus I can't exactly ask them for more because they've already given me so much and they think I still have it. As you can imagine, my broke state made it really hard to buy anything today when I went grocery shopping without feeling incredibly guilty. Not because of the calories, but because of the money I was spending. I hate it.
Well then, it's safe to say that today's food shopping experience was no where near as fun as it usually is. Regardless, I bought four cans of Weight watcher's tomato soup, a 12-pack of coke zero, two apples, a packet of melba toast (now down to 12 calories per slice!), special K chocolate cereal bars and low fat marshmallows with wafers.
Today's intake:
B – apple (60) with toffee yogurt (88)
L – prawn salad (70) and diet coke (1)
S – marshmallow w/ wafer (50), raisins (42), diet coke (1)
D – tomato soup (76) w/ two slices of melba toast (24)
= 412 calories
That's alright; it's more than yesterday, but it's still alright. I've managed to get in half an hour's walk on the way to the supermarket and also did fifty sit ups on my bed. That is no where near I want to be doing but at least it's something.
Today in a nutshell
July 22, 2012
Woah, I just noticed I've had a random influx of viewers! Where have you all come from? It's good to know I'm not just writing all this to myself, though I never expected anyone would ever read this blog.
Today hasn't been so bad I guess – my only regret is eating an extra nectarine and not doing any exercise, but it could have been much worse, right? I really need to stop being such a lazy fat arse though and start doing even just a tiny bit of exercise. Seriously. I also need to start doing sit ups every night (at least 50 a night) because my stomach so horribly fat. It's so depressing thinking back to the times when I didn't need to do any sort of exercise yet still managed to maintain a perfectly toned stomach.
Anyway, here is today's intake:
B – medium nectarine (62) with a glass of ice water (0)
L – tea w/ brown sugar (15) and two biscuits (76)
S – a small box of raisins (43) and a can of diet coke (1)
D – medium banana (105) and a nectarine (62)
= 364 calories
That's not too bad, but I can't help feeling guilty for eating that extra nectarine after the banana. I really didn't need it; I'm just so bloody greedy and fat fat fat. Everything I've eaten today has been little snacks. I haven't had any proper meals because I couldn't find anything low calorie to make in my house, which meant I just grazed on anything I could find that I deemed healthy enough. Eh.
Tomorrow I'm going to take a walk to the shopping centre to look for new shoes – I usually take the bus there but I figured walking would be a good way to get some exercise in – even though I don't currently have enough money to actually buy any. I'm also going to go grocery shopping for enough food to last me a week, and not just snacks like today but actual meals. Those of you who are familiar with my blog with know that shopping for food is awkward for me as I still live with my family since I'm not old enough to live alone. This means I'm forced to hide anything I buy in stupid places like among my clothes… FUN! Apart from this I do really enjoy food shopping.
On a completely different note, I'm back with my boyfriend. We've actually been on and off since we got back together and I completely hate it. I've never wanted to be in this sort of relationship; I hate feeling so unsafe and like we're going to split up any second.
I'm feeling fairly positive for tomorrow, despite it all.

We all have our own ways of handling stressful situations without letting emotions get the best of us, but some ways of coping work better than others. Short-term fixes that help us avoid or numb our emotions may temporarily alleviate sadness and anger, but can also end up causing anxiety, depression, chronic anger, and even physical health problems. If you struggle with overwhelming emotions and feel trapped by unhealthy patterns, this workbook is your ticket out.
Mind and Emotions is a revolutionary universal treatment program for all emotional disorders that helps you discover which of the seven problematic coping styles is keeping you trapped in a cycle of emotional pain. Instead of working on difficulties like anxiety, anger, shame, and depression one by one, you'll treat the root of all your emotional suffering at once. Drawing on evidence-based skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy, this workbook offers all the techniques you need to manage unwelcome feelings in effective and productive ways. Learn and practice the most effective coping skills:
This book is the basis of the web-based therapy site CBT SELF-HELP THERAPY, which offers online treatment for mood disorders.

The performance of "God Bless America" that closes a concert tonight at Orange Coast College promises to be every bit as heartfelt as any offered on the Fourth of July, although it will sound a world away from the standard orchestral and marching-band renditions.
It will be played like Kate Smith could never have imagined it--on dan bau, dan nguyet, dan ty ba , dan tranh and dan tam thap luc.
"This time, we use the whole orchestra; we try to make something fancy," said Mai Nguyen, president of Lac Hong Music Group, which gives its annual concert at OCC tonight in the Robert B. Moore Theatre. The orchestra in this case--in the order listed above--includes mono-string, two-string moon-shaped guitar, four-string pear-shaped lute, 16-string zither and 36-string dulcimer.
The concert--called "Vietnam 20 Years Overseas, Here We Are Still Singing"--commemorates the 20th year of Vietnamese resettlement in the United States. The ensemble presents 30 concerts each year, but this one promises to be its big blowout.

A partner and patients at a PMS practice in West Yorkshire have accused NHS England of failing to involve patients in a PMS review which could result in a 44% funding cut.
Slaithwaite Health Centre GP Dr Paul Wilding said the review could be 'unlawful' if commissioners fail to meet their legal requirement to involve patients in decisions which affect services.
But NHS England's head of co-commissioning for West Yorkshire said the practice had not yet seen any funding reductions and that services would continue until talks with the practice conclude.
GP funding cuts
Patients have formed the Slawit Health Centre SOS campaign group, which has now begun its own consultation to help local people voice concerns on changes they believe will trigger cuts of around £277,000 a year over three years at the practice.
In a separate move, a patient at the practice has launched a legal action against NHS England over the alleged failure to involve the public.
GPs elsewhere have also expressed concern about NHS England's lack of patient involvement in the PMS review. Dr Kate Bellingham of Page Hall Medical Centre in Sheffield said her practice faces a 21% funding cut over three years following a PMS review.
'There has been no official process to gain patient opinion or perspective in the funding cuts that have happened locally,' said Dr Bellingham. 'There was no recommendation to ask our patients what their thoughts were.'
NHS England's head of co-commissioning for Yorkshire and Humber Karen Curran said Page Hall's funding was now being looked at by the CCG and further engagement with patients could take place once the outcome of that process was known.
Dr Bellingham, however, said that cuts to services or staff were now 'inevitable'.
Patient involvement
In 2014 NHS England admitted it had breached its legal duties by failing to properly involve patients in decisions to withdraw MPIG funding, after a patient at Jubilee Street Practice in east London took action to secure a judicial review. High Court judge Mr Justice Popplewell found the commissioning body had 'acted unlawfully by reason of its failure to make arrangements for the involvement of patients in primary care commissioning decisions' as required by legislation.
Dr Wilding told GPonline the proposed 'draconian' PMS cuts would 'decimate' the practice leaving it 'completely non viable in a relatively short period of time'.
'One of our patients felt so strongly about having not been engaged or consulted with that they took some legal action and are taking legal proceedings against the NHS England,' he said.
Dr Wilding said he had been in contact with PMS practices in other parts of the country and called on GPs to take action. 'The time for talking is over, it's time for action now. You're running out of time to oppose what may very well be unlawful cuts,' he said. 'The main thing you should be doing is going public and telling the public because nobody else has told them.'
Karen Curran, head of co-commissioning at NHS England Yorkshire and Humber said: 'The purpose of PMS funding is to ensure there is a fair approach to funding across GP practices.
'Any changes will not result in a reduction in overall funding in Sheffield but will ensure the money is spread equally and links to the needs of the local population.
'The funding of Page Hall Surgery in relation to the services it provides to local population is currently being looked at by Sheffield CCG.
'Once the outcome of the CCG's work is known further engagement will be needed to ensure patients understand any changes to the way services are delivered.'
Kathryn Hilliam, head of co-commissioning at NHS England West Yorkshire, said: 'Slaithwaite Health Centre ... is one of the higher funded practices in an area with low levels of deprivation when compared to other practices which have significantly challenging health needs.
'The practice to date has not suffered any financial loss and all services will continue until discussions with the practice have concluded.
'NHS England expects to meet with the practice in March to agree a way forward and to ensure patients continue to receive the best patient care.'

Mercedes-Benz launches the S-Class 'Connoisseur's Edition' in S 350d and S 400 variants respectively at Rs 1.21 Crore and Rs 1.32 crore (ex-showroom Pune).autos Updated: Apr 05, 2017 19:37 IST

Maximum longevity and the greatest level of adaptability to the unknown- these are the two goals of Trained to Conquer. We're not sport-oriented or a strength program; we're not a technical proficiency center; and we're not here to make you amazing at any one thing. When you view physical fitness under the constraints of increasing survivability and versatility goals are specific and oriented towards 2 categories:
A. Physical prowess:
1. Achieving a high level of work capacity - the ability to complete a given amount of work in the fastest time possible or the ability to complete the maximum amount of work within a restricted time limit. This is our energy system development and where we train stamina and endurance as well as short intense bouts of power
2. Achieving a basic foundation in "Day-to-Day" strength:
Carrying - a person any way possible for at least a quarter mile, objects of varying weights and sizes, and rucking long distances at a threshold pace
Lifting - an object off the ground and putting it overhead
Grip - strength is paramount in day-to-day strength development
B. Skill orientation:
1. Environmental adaptability:
a. Free Running/Parkour - sprinting short and long distances, over, under, and around obstacles uphill and downhill as well as under a load; jumping off high platforms and rolling out, clearing gaps without hesitating, precision jumping, maintaining a high vertical leap; climbing walls, ropes, rocks, trees, cliffs and ladders, as well as scaling fences or buildings
b. Water Confidence - swimming in open water with fins or without, swimming in clothes, treading water for long periods, underwater swimming at least 50 yd, buddy towing, completing tasks in the water
2. Combative ability - proficiency in some form of striking art, as well as some form of submission art
Achieving high levels of competence in these areas affords us maximum ability to accomplish physically whatever we need or come across. Anything else or additionally is for sport or fun!
Work Capacity:
5 Rounds for time:
5x Muscle-ups
25x K.B. swings 55/35 lbs.
5x Burpees
25x Double-unders

Ill never get up and run at 3:45am again. I would rather run AFTER TTC.com workouts in the afternoon. Lesson learned...again.
P.M.- I modified this so i could do it outside instead of the gym. It was such beautiful weather for an ass kicking.
Warmup- Ruck 1.6 miles @40#'s to the civic center.
5 Rounds for time:
15x kipping pullups
15x dips
25x SDHP using 40# ruck
5x Burpees
10x 30" box jumps
This was absolutely awful. Not sure if i simply had no energy, or if it was because i was alone. Maybe a combination of the two.

Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms
Nucleic Acid
Nucleic acid is an important class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. The functions of nucleic acids have to do with the storage and expression of genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.
Narration Transcription
"Nucleic acid" is the term we use to describe specific large molecules in the cell. So they're actually made of polymers of strings of repeating units, and the two most famous of the nucleic acids, that you've heard about, are DNA and RNA. And nucleic acids in the cell act to actually store information. The cell encodes information, much like you recorded on a tape, into nucleic acids. So the sequence of these molecules in the polymer can convey "make a protein", "please replicate me", "transfer me to the nucleus..." The other amazing part about nucleic acid is that they're very stable proteins. And so if you think about the need to convey genetic information from one cell to another, you would want a molecule that is very stable and doesn't fall apart on its own, and that's a major feature of nucleic acids. The name "nucleic acid" comes from the fact that they were first described because they actually had acidic properties, much like the acids that you know. And the nucleic part comes from the fact that they were first isolated because they were found in the nucleus. And as you know that's where the DNA, one of the types of nucleic acids that we've been talking about, is predominately found.
Doctor Profile
Name: Lawrence C. Brody, Ph.D.
Occupation: Chief & Senior Investigator, Genome Technology Branch; Head, Molecular Pathogenesis Section
Biography: Dr. Brody investigates the genetics of breast cancer and neural tube defects. As chief of the NHGRI Genome Technology Branch's Molecular Pathogenesis section, he is interested in studying genetic mutations that lead to perturbations in normal metabolic pathways and cause disorders such as cancer and birth defects. His laboratory investigates mutations in two breast cancer-linked genes, breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2). Dr. Brody's laboratory was among the first to report that women carrying BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations have a higher risk of developing both breast and ovarian cancer than women without such mutations.

Title: FALLOW REIGN
Age Category: Young Adult
Genre: Science Fiction (Diverse, LGBTQIA)
Word Count: 93,000
Pitch: Three months ago, Jane Deu had her memories voluntarily erased. Tonight she has a lightgun in hand once again, but her target is begging her to pull the trigger. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS meets JUPITER ASCENDING.
First 250 Words:
It was finally over. The choice didn't matter.
One of them would murder him tonight.
Pietro crouched behind a buckling brick beam, hands buried in a mix of soot and snow as he waited, listening. All was silent that night in Third Quadrant, along with the rest of Old Glasgow. There were no cars, no sirens, nothing—nothing but the falling snow, Pietro, and now three Exterminators. With his cheek to the sidewalk, he peered beneath the beam.
"I'm told this is the second field orientation for the both of you. Or is it?" asked the Instructor, a pint-sized girl a head shorter than the other two. The blond boy flashed a hand at her, raising four fingers in reply. "*Oh?* Well then, Lancaster. Repeat the rules for us."
Lancaster threw his white-gloved hand up in salute, straining against the seams of his ill-fitting uniform. With his Instructor's help, he stuttered through a numbered list that sounded straight out of a textbook, turning beet red all the while.
Pietro didn't need to hear their rules. He knew them well enough. Don't go out unarmed. Don't leave your team. Altercations with civilians are an instant failure. Never forget who the real people are.
Pietro wasn't "real people," not to them. That was the price of being born somewhere else, outside their world. All his life with Viola he lived in panic, knowing a bunch of green-clad, thunder-booted murder machines could tear down the door at any moment.

The Venice Inn in Hagerstown is expected to reopen today, a day and a half after the hotel received a letter containing a bomb threat that prompted the hotel operator to shut down the hotel.
Hagerstown lawyer Edward Button, the court-appointed attorney in charge of Venice property since 1999, said he decided to close the hotel Tuesday after a hotel employee opened the threatening letter that morning.
Hagerstown police and hotel staff searched the hotel property on Tuesday but did not find anything, Police Chief Arthur Smith said. The FBI and city police are conducting a joint investigation, Smith said.

Oxygen Depletion Model for Cayuga Lakeby J. Denis Newbold, Grad. Student; Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA,
James A. Liggett, (M.ASCE), Prof, Civ. and Envir. Engrg.; Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY,
Serial Information: Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1974, Vol. 100, Issue 1, Pg. 41-59
Document Type: Journal Paper
A one-dimensional oxygen depletion model was constructed for Cayuga Lake (upstate New York) for the period of summer stratification. A primary objective was to determine the relative importance of horizontal diffusion rates to planktonic and benthic respiration in the vertical. Terms in the one-dimensional diffusion equation account for sinking rate and consumption by respiration of algae, plankton, and benthos. A separate equation computes oxygen transport. The sensitivity of the model is tested with respect to the various parameters. Practical diffusion coefficients were obtained using a combination of methods. The results indicate that in Cayuga Lake all three of the depletion agents exert a large demand in the upper 30 m, the total uptake is small in the mid 70 m, but diffusion from this region into areas of the high demand is large, and the lowest 30 m is dominated by the benthic demand.

Yep. Just answer the poll, folks. =]
Personally, I'm too young at 13.
I'm not voting, except in this poll
Mmmm, this poll is worse than Florida voting booths! Where're the options???
I already voted, FWIW.
EDIT: Okay, I went back and voted now that you have a poll!
I am voting.
As a side note, has anyone seen that dontvote.com commercial? Where the candidate is singing and he's like "Don't ask me about social security... come have some pie with me!"
Hilarious... these political ads are crazy!
EDIT: I just got a *call* from Senator Dick Durbin telling me to vote for Blagojevich here in Illinois.
A pre-recorded message like that is a little annoying.

Miranda Writes: The Ugly Green Monster, Part 1
by Omar Miranda
Hi, Omar. I'm hoping you can help me with two problems I've been having with my best friend. I'm 14 and he's 16. He and I are both into technology, like video games, computers, and stuff. His mom and dad are together, and they are, like, really rich and stuff and give him a lot of money to spend any way that he wants. It seems as though every week he has something new and comes over to my house and flaunts it in my face. My mom and dad are divorced, and my dad just acts like we're dead and doesn't help my mom take care of me, which means that she has two jobs and I'm lucky to get money for my birthday! Lately, when my friend has been showing off all his stuff, I feel as though he's been bragging and, like, making fun of me 'cause I don't have as much money. It's really making me mad. I mean, if he was truly my friend, he wouldn't do that, right? Anyway, I'm finding myself getting really jealous, and last week I took something of his without asking 'cause he flashed it in my face so much I couldn't stop thinking about it. I used it for a couple of days and then felt so guilty I gave it back and apologized. He's really mad at me right now, and we're not talking. Yesterday I was at the store, and for the first time I actually thought about stealing something 'cause I couldn't stop thinking about it and really wanted it. I wanted to talk to my mom about how I felt, but if I was honest with her about wanting to steal something, she would KILL ME!!! Also, she's so stressed with everything she's got to do that I really don't want to bother her. Sorry this is so long, but I guess my question is: How can I stop thinking about wanting all of my friend's stuff and just generally wanting stuff all the time? I read my Bible every day and pray and stuff, but it seems as though God doesn't take away my wanting to get so much stuff. I just want to be happy with the stuff I've got. It seems like the more stuff I get, the more stuff I want! Please help me. I'm going crazy! I want to be a good Christian and, like, be unselfish and stuff, but I just don't know how. I don't understand why God doesn't just take my feelings away.—Angry at my friend and God!
Hi, Angry. WOW! Thanks for sharing this with me. It sounds as though this has been on your mind for a while now. Thanks for your honesty. I know it wasn't easy for you to write all of this, but I can tell that you put a lot of thought into what you wrote, and I can feel your anger and frustration.
You mentioned a couple of issues and asked two questions. I want to list your questions first and then address some of the feelings that I saw in what you wrote. We'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about what you're feeling, and I'll also give you my opinions and advice. I'm hoping that by the time I'm done, you'll have some clear answers and direction about what you should do to make things better.
As I read your e-mail, here are the two questions that I think you wanted answers to:
• If your friend is so nice, how come he seems so prideful and keeps on taunting you with all his new stuff?
• How can you stop being jealous and wanting all his stuff to the point where you're thinking about it all the time and wanting to steal it and learn to be content with the stuff you have?
You also appeared to have a lot of feelings of anger and frustration, specifically at your father for not helping your mom take care of you, and you probably miss him a whole lot as well. You didn't share what happened, only that your parents are divorced. A lot of times when parents get divorced, they deal with issues of grief, loss, and abandonment (when someone you love just leaves for good). I would suggest that you check out my column Miranda Writes and, more specifically, the series I wrote called "The Brady Bunch Doesn't Live Here Anymore!" In this series I deal with a lot of the issues that it sounds like you're dealing with. I would also encourage you to take a look at the series I did on contentment, called "The Secret to Contentment."
From the beginning, I want to tell you how proud I am of you that you haven't stopped reading your Bible and praying, even though you sound somewhat angry at God for not taking away your feelings of anger, jealousy, and covetousness (overwhelmingly powerful feelings of wanting what somebody else has at any cost). Many times we wonder why God doesn't just answer our heartfelt prayers about painful and difficult circumstances we find ourselves in, but I promise you that He hears every prayer you make and is already planning to give you an answer. Stay faithful to Him. Keep praying and reading and stay connected. Remember, the Christian life isn't about feelings—it's about faith. Faith that no matter how you feel, God is with you. The shepherd David said in Psalm 23:4 about God: "I may walk through valleys as dark as death, but I won't be afraid. You are with me, and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe" (CEV).*
Last, I want to encourage you to speak to somebody else about your problems. But steer away from getting too much of your advice and counsel from friends your age. Make sure that you mix it up by speaking to some adults as well. They've been alive longer and perhaps made some of the same mistakes you're now making and have felt some of the same feelings you're feeling. Most important, please reconsider speaking with your mother about this. I know that you don't want to bother or stress her with your problems, but it's her job to be involved in your life. And I doubt that she's going to feel bothered or stressed out about what you tell her. Now, I will admit that she may be a little upset that you felt like stealing something from a store, but the fact is that you didn't give in to temptation and you overcame it, and when you took your friend's stuff, you gave it back to him and apologized. I know that a part of you is scared that she'll come down on you like a ton of bricks, but I think you'll be amazed at how much your mom might understand how you feel. If you still don't feel as though you can talk to her, you can talk to another trusted adult, like your pastor or another adult friend or family member.
[To be continued next week. In the second part of my response to "Angry," we'll address the issues of pride, jealousy, and covetousness, and how these can negatively affect our lives and the lives of others. We'll also talk about contentment.]
Until next time, remember these things: God's way is always the best way. Life is full of decisions, so make yours good ones. Put God first in your life, and you can't go wrong.
Feel free to contact me: you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com; or you can keep up with me on Facebook; or you can read more of my stuff on Miranda Writes, at www.insightmagazine.org; or you can check me out or send me a message at my Web site, thriveatlife.org; or you can reach me via snail mail (slow!) at the address printed below.

Well, like green I don't have very many orange nail polishes in my collection. Here is one I recently picked up at Walgreens: Sinful Colors, Hazard, from the Petal Pushers line. Orange is another difficult color for me to pull off because my skin is cool toned. I really did not like how this turned out, Hazard borders on being a neon, but I would describe it as a medium orange coral.
Hazard applies like a pastel, thick and tacky. Above is two coats, and I did not have any issues except I'm just not that excited about the color. Maybe I will be in August when its hazy, hot and humid here on the east coast. Late summer the sun is so bright, everything is washed out and I can't see anything else except these bright beachy colors. UGH. Maybe I need to add some nail art or glitter? At least it was only $1.99.

I have to admit that I don't have very many oranges either. I'm just not a fan of orange in general. I really like how this polish looks on you though, it brings out some warmth in your skintone! totally reminds me of summer :DReplyDelete
Thanks Sneakerette! I think it looks better in photos than in person.ReplyDelete

tl;dr - Most web log analyzers are real time, which isn't great when you want to retrospectively analyze and debug a problem. Thankfully, with a small script we can make them non realtime.
For real time log analysis, we use tools like apachetop or goaccess. They are very handy, because they give you some visibility into otherwise monotonous common log files, telling you about bandwidth used, request per seconds, and 4xx/5xx errors.
One high traffic website I am involved with recently had a DOS attack. When this happened, nginx started returning 502s because the upstream servers stop responding. Very soon, the domino effect cascaded into a meltdown, as users retry and hit refresh when they see a not very helpful 502 page, putting even more load on the system.
This forced me to write a quick and dirty script in nodejs, that reads from an existing log file and writes it back to another file, preserving the rate. Because you control when you start playing the logs, real time analyzers like apachetop can then be run on the new file to recreate a visual view of the problem as it occured sometime in the past. I cobbled up the script just now, and since it could come in handy for others, have just published it on github.
[ Fork logplayer on github] (http://github.com/qzaidi/logplayer)
apachetop will report the time incorrectly, but the visual analysis is way more valuable than scanning the log file itself. I do realize that this is merely a player, and not analyzer as the title suggests , but if I get some free time, I plan to write apachetop itself in node.
Here's more from the github readme …
Logplayer is a non real time web access log player. Why non real time? Because real time tools don't work when you want to analyze a problem past its occurence.
In conjunction with tools like apachetop and goaccess, this can come in handy - helps you figure out what was happening at a particular point in time when something went bad.
Let's say you had a DOS attack at 11:40 PM on 22nd Feb.
Here's how you would use logtailer
npm install # one time
|node index.js /var/log/nginx/access.log 22/Feb/2013:11:38:00
|tee /tmp/access.log
apachetop -f /tmp/access.log
This will start playing the logs to apachetop, as if things were happening now.
Make sure to remove /tmp/access.log after playing. It may be possible to use a fifo in place of real file, but not recommended for high traffic sites.

How California pulled off the world's fastest grid-scale battery procurement – Part II
AES Energy Storage was the powerhouse behind the largest battery storage facility built to date. When combined with the other mammoth battery plants built by Tesla and AltaGas, the three constitute around 15% of the entire battery storage capacity installed across the planet last year.
AES executed two projects for SDG&E, the 30MW/120MWh Escondido project, just northeast of San Diego, and the 7.5MW/30MWh El Capon project. Both projects were sold under an EPC contract and used four-hour lithium-ion batteries in modular containers.
The 30MW project – the world's largest grid-scale lithium-ion facility – was contracted in just three weeks, according to the company, with the entire system being delivered in approximately six months.
"Obviously the short time frame was challenging," Kate McGinnis, AES market director for the Western US told Energy-Storage.News. "We were able to overcome those challenges through our collaborative working relationships. We had actually started working with our suppliers early in the spring when it looked like there was going to be the possibility of a procurement. That early work helped to shape our knowledge of how much and how fast we'd be able to deliver a project."
Energy storage software and solutions specialist Greensmith Energy secured the title for the world's fastest grid-scale energy storage deployment. Its 20MW/80MWh project was deployed in a record four months – a couple of months earlier than any of the other projects' impressive feats.
Greensmith handed over the regulatory process to Canada-based energy infrastructure company AltaGas, who was the project developer and owner of the San Gabriel facility.
"The process was just condensed from a timing perspective. Keep in mind, Greensmith has delivered 18MW sites in about 6 months in the past," explained company CFO and COO Jim Murphy. "For Aliso Canyon, the construction subcontractors required significant amounts of overtime as AltaGas had the teams operating on a 24-hour basis to meet the deadline. At one point there were over 200 electricians working on the project, completing wiring and battery installation."
Key takeaways
Largely thanks to California's energy crisis, but also improving economics and state and federal level policies, the business case for US energy storage has never been stronger.
"Energy storage is still a relatively nascent industry when it comes to grid-side or front-of-the-meter applications," said GTM Research senior storage analyst Daniel Finn-Foley. "So to be able to demonstrate several different capabilities at once during a capacity shortfall that was clearly unpredicted, that was really a big deal."
One of the biggest achievements of the entire process is obviously timing. There were, between the initial RfO and commissioning of projects, as little as just a few months. That is the kind of timeline it takes to merely get an environmental permit for a new natural gas peaker plant. The fact that such large-scale projects were able to get in the ground successfully under such high-speed time frames proves that energy storage can be a very flexible grid solution in a very short order.
Further, it readied a solution that utilities did not even have before. Using batteries on this scale was an idea that has always held far-reaching potential, but the execution was not something that engineers and policymakers had ever attempted.
"It all just really adds up to shattering that concept of needing years to build an asset that actually will have a really big and positive impact on a larger electrical system," said Powin's director of engineering applications Stephan Williams. "That coupled with how fast the price of energy storage is dropping is starting to make heads turn."
Longer-duration storage
This emergency storage procurement was evidence of batteries being able to participate in longer-duration applications, as traditionally the large-scale battery storage market has been dominated by frequency regulation applications, which typically use shorter-duration systems.
"Now, because of the significant cost reductions that we're seeing for batteries, longer-duration systems are making economic sense," Sam Wilkinson, senior research manager of solar & energy storage at IHS told Energy-Storage.News. "That's why we get the four-hour systems like this that are providing peaking and systems like those that have been announced in the UK recently for capacity auctions as well."
Competitive pricing
Such longer-duration projects were only possible due to aggressive pricing, which demonstrates the ability for storage to be cost-competitive and effective from a commercial business standpoint.Read full article at Energy Storage

Evening all. Just bee lurking to try and find information but I thought I better post something instead.
I have a 2001 v79 2.4t (200) and it has a misfire. I know what your going to say but this happens only when it's hot!!
Now the car has 175,000 and runs on lpg which is custom fitted before I bought guy it. Loads of history etc.
Anyways the car runs fine when cold but when it gets hot it misfired. I get a pending code and then a proper code which is a p0301 (cylinder one misfire detected). The car has almost new Volvo plugs which are gapped for lpg which is about 0.1mm less than normal. Pulled them out to inspect them all and cylinder one is blackened and wet from not firing. The rest are your normal colours. So I moved cylinder one and two around and started the car. It missed and before I did that I cleared any codes. Cylinder one misfire. Then I moved the coils. Same thing the fault didn't move. I cleaned the earthing points on the head casting and cleaned the connectors and made no difference.
Fitted brand new coils and although the car starts a little better but still misses when hot. I then did a compression test on all cylinder with engine hot and I'm getting 200 psi across the cylinders. So as far as I'm aware the compression is good and yes all plugs were removed and throttle was wide on en. The car also misses in lpg as well as petrol so I have ruled out blocked filters or anything like that. Air filter is new also. Then disconnected the battery and shorted the power cables out and left it for half hour and then went under the bonnet and cleaned all earthing point I could find. I also gapped the plugs to 0.7mm to see if it would make a difference. Took the crank sensor off and cleaned that. That was very black and full of crud but yet didn't make a difference after I put everything back together. Spark plug was tested against the head casting for sparking and I get small sparks when grounded to the head and they spark between the electrode and the tang and as you pull it further away the sparks are very bright and powerful so I think I have a good earth? Unplugged each coil when cold and the engine suffers and then regains strength. Done on all cylinders. When hot however I unplug number one and nothing happens but the rest react.
I'm running out of options here. I didn't have a head gasket issue as that's been recently done so no coolant in oil or the other way round. All filters and fluids have been replaced on including lpg.
What else can I do. I can't think many more things that can cause a misfire. Is it worth putting a new crank sensor in. I have been told that everything is timed off of the number one cylinder.
Like I said it happens when engine is fully put temperature after about twenty mins of slow and fast idling and revving on both petrol and lpg.

In the discussion on one of Donal Graeme's latest posts, an idea has come up that I have seen a few times in various comment threads. Namely, that there is a plethora of young, fit, feminine, devout, virginal women who are actively pursuing marriage, but no men are interested in them. Now, I will admit from the get-go that I have a very hard time believing such a condition exists. It simply does not match my experience. As I've mentioned previously, most of the women I run into are far more interested in having a wedding than in being married. (Bring up "courthouse weddings" around a group of single young women, and watch the reaction.) The women I have known who wanted a marriage found one very quickly. (Even those who did not have all the aforementioned attributes)
So, naturally, when I hear someone saying that there is this large pool of young, fit, feminine, devout, virginal women who are actively pursuing marriage but can't get any interest from men, I'm a bit skeptical. I've had a number of male friends say that if those characteristics were guaranteed by someone they trusted, they would be willing to consider going into a marriage without ever meeting the woman. It leads me to wonder if the people telling me about this condition are defining terms radically different than I am. After all, Dove has had a campaign to convince women that fat girls are fit for a while now–despite the recent discovery that female overweight and obesity in the US has been dramatically UNDER-estimated, with almost half of women categorized as non-obese found to be actually obese when body fat is measured. Apparently, some people even believe that short hair is feminine (Pro tip: It's not). And, as I said above, all too often those who say they are interested in marriage are really only interested in having a wedding.
Differing definitions of terms may be one of the reasons that my experience does not mesh with these claims of multitudes of young, fit, feminine, devout, virginal women actively searching for marriage. Honestly though, I'd like to believe that such a group does exist, despite it seeming downright Utopian to imagine such a thing. I personally know a number of men in a number of different states that are also finding such a creature to be as elusive as a mirage, but maybe women like this exist somewhere. If they do indeed exist, I certainly know a number of men who would be interested in meeting such a woman. Therefore, I propose that the bloggers that have knowledge of these women bridge the gap. It takes only a few minutes of reading on many of the blogs in the Christian men's sphere to come across bucketloads of men looking for such a woman. If you are also in contact with a large number of such women who are looking for a man, perhaps you could consider putting the two of them in contact. It seems like a move that both sides would appreciate.


text: It's been pretty busy around here, what with me getting married and all. We are currently on our way to Cuba for our minimoon so I'll be pretty quiet on the blog the rest of this week. But don't worry, I'll be back next week with fresh posts for your reading enjoyment. In the meantime, feel free to follow along on Insta. I won't have much internet access there, but when I do, I hope to post to both @peaches_to_apples and @tessypie (my personal account).

I shouldn't be here
When the train's doors
would not unlock
and we'd got no further
than the first pick-up station
we did wonder how
we'd disembark up the line
at our Regional stations.
Next stop was called Sunshine
we all exited through guard's
secret doorways and either
stood for standing room
on the next train or
wended our ways to where
a bus was miraculously
going to appear.
"It's not your fault, but …"
he shouted at security guards
kindly waiting to place
the bus at our disposal.
As we boarded, he was still
yelling at some poor civil
servant of the people about
Bad Customer Experience.
The rest of us pretended
we couldn't hear him
planned our more friendly
feedback forms. The inept
train reached our town
at the same time we did.
Railway workers surrounded
it with love and tools.

Sorry this letter is coming so late. We went to Tapalpa again today and got back a lot later than we should have. There are a lot of things going on around here out of my control that shouldn't be that I am going to try and take control of this week. Whew.
Ok. Well, it was a great week. Remember J? Well, his whole family is listening to us intently now. We put a baptismal date this week with his sister in law , his neice S, his son J, and J's girlfriend D. When we teach over there, they bring out all the chairs and stools they own and sit in a big semi circle in their living room while we teach standing. It feels pretty awesome. We actually had lunch with them on Wednesday, which is when we met D. She told us she wonders some times if God really does exist, so we had her pray and ask if he did. She felt the spirit really strong and was there the next day while we taught the plan of Salvation to the whole family. She had a ton of questions about religion, it blew my mind a little bit (she's 13). Questions like "Why do we naturally not want to do the will of God?" and "If this life is about falling and getting up again, why don't my parents let me make mistakes?" She's super interested and we answered all her questions. She really felt something that first visit and knows the church is true, but her mom is super catholic and she is scared to tell her that she is listening to us, so we are praying really hard for her.
J is 13 and has never wanted to listen to the missionaries in the least until now. He is a really smart kid that has been mixed up in the wrong crowd but wants more peace in his life. We taught him in the chapel one day, and by that I mean I taught him the whole restoration in about 12 minutes while Elder A was in the bathroom. The poor man was having problems that day. But anyways, he understood everything really well and has been super excited about everything. He's reading the Book of Mormon and praying and he said he wants to get baptized because he knows it will make him happy.
We had an activity Saturday morning. We invited all the youth to come with us and be missionaries for a day. We did a little training in the morning, made them their own name tags, and then they came with us to proselyte. Only 4 people came, including J and C, who both weren't members at this point. But it went well. Except that J and one of the other kids that came, Z, are enemies and really hate each other. So before we did anything, we had a little lesson with those two about the Atonement and had them sort out their problems. They forgave each other and were companions for the day, and were best friends by the time the activity ended. That is the power of the Atonement. It is infinite and eternal and can work miracles in our lives if we are humble enough to use it. It was a great experience to see this immediate change between two people. The activity was really fun, we didn't have a lot of appointments that day so we spent a lot of time contacting people in the streets, and by that I mean making 12 and 13 year old kids contact people in the streets. It was a great way to help J strengthen his testimony--testifying that our message is true to a bunch of random people he doesn't know.
We had C's baptism that night. J, J, V, and S came. It went well. Elder A baptized her and I did the confirmation yesterday in church. It was a great experience. She really felt great when she got baptized (obviously).
When we went to a Cyber cafe to print out the programs for C's baptism, the girl helping us asked us if the baptism was in Sayula. We told her yes and explained who we are and what we do and put an appointment for the next day. She said she would like that. We went over to teach her and she is super escogida! Her name is J, and she told us that she is looking for spiritual guidance in her life and that no church that she has gone to has really satisfied that. We taught her the restoration and it all made sense to her. We put a baptismal date for December 29th and she accepted it and said she would come to church this week (the lesson was Sunday afternoon). She is in college and lives in Ciudad Guzman during the week, so we only will be able to teach her Saturdays and Sundays, but hey, I am not complaining. I love it when God just blesses us with someone like that out of nowhere.
We have been having challenges with our Branch President. I am not going to go into details, but he doesn't treat the members with a whole lot of love and is making it really hard for this branch to progress. And when we give him suggestions, he gets mad and thinks we are trying to challenge his authority. It has been a struggle. Pray a lot for him to change his heart. He is the man with the keys to run this branch, and we have to act under his direction, but the way is doing things really has been difficult to deal with, both for us, the members, and the investigators.
Today we went to Tapalpa with the Zone leaders. They slept over at our house last night, 4 of us in two beds, in other words, nobody slept. We hiked to a waterfall, but it took 2 hours to hike there and back, and with the travel time that it takes to hitchhike to Tapalpa from here and the two meals the members insisted on feeding us, it was a long day. But I took some really cool pictures that I'll send you some time.
It was a big week. If C's brother I really works hard this week, he could get baptized this saturday. Speaking of which, I am going to need white pants and a white tie for baptisms. There isn't an extra pair here, and I probably won't survive the whole mission without baptismal clothes. What would be the best way to get them? Could you send me some, or is that out of the question? Let me know. Also, Dad, email probably is the best way to send music to me. Thanks! Also, that memory card you sent me in the package didn't make it past the mailroom, so I bought one here.
I love you all! Pray for me a lot this week, there is a lot of work to do here. I love you all a lot!
-Elder Pew

Dovrei inserire le città italiane in un campo di input come scelta. sono 8091 righe. Non si possono inserire tutte. Perchè?
- SeanAnswered on March 12, 2015 at 12:06 PM
I take it that you would like to have a drop down menu field with all the cities in Italy? I am not aware of any limit placed on the amount of items you can have listed in a drop down menu so if you wish you can add a drop down menu field to the form with all the possible selections available.
However, having that much options in a single drop down list can overwhelm your users. Using a text box to capture the city from the user would be a better idea than providing such a long list of cities for them to choose from. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact us if further assistance is needed.

I got Roman a little bouncy toy. I don't know what to call it.
I guess its an entertainment center really. He is so very excited about it, cant you tell from his face!? He just loves it, for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I guess its good that he doesn't like it too much or I would feel bad taking him away from it to say change his diaper, put him down for a nap, feed him or even play with him myself! Today we were playing on the floor and I swear he giggled for the first time that wasnt followed by a cry. He has been giving us a little giggle, but he seemed to confuse it with sadness, because he would cry after it. This morning there were no crys anywhere near it! AND I was being funny, so of course he was laughing. I was stretching his arms above his head saying "stretch, stretch, stretch" then we would move his arms across his chest and say "run, run, run" and he giggled! It was oh so cute and I did it till he didn't want to giggle anymore. It was a short one, so we haven't got a full out belly laugh yet, but still cute. Tony heard too because he was home for lunch. I am going to miss him when he has to be gone all day long everyday of the week.


text: Before learning what states have higher obesity rates, I have this notion that most of the obesity problems are concentrated on the metro city areas. I even made up and connected the word obesity to oh-busy-city. This is due to the presence of many fast food restaurants and the busy life in the city which make the residents to eat more and have unhealthy type of food. I thought that people who live in the metro city areas have more tendencies to have obesity and related problems. This is due to lack of time in preparing their food at home due to work especially those rendering long hours. Also, the presence of various fast food and buffet restaurants are really tempting. But I was wrong, people are more engaged in physical activities / exercises in the metro city areas. In my country those people living in provinces / remotes are healthier and lives longer because they eat fresh and healthy food and the absence of fast food restaurants is a factor too. I think obesity is no longer demographics related. Whether you live in the South or North or Metro Cities, it's more on lifestyle and genes. If I have an authority to allocate budget in the government projects, I would allot more on programs for obesity which is an epidemic already. It should be given utmost attention like any other illnesses supported by government funding. Most of major illnesses are weight gain related such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Problem, etc. I heard that Michelle Obama has a project to fight obesity, the program is pushing schools to change their lunch menus into a healthier ones and promoting physical activities. That's good! It's hard to preach when you can't apply it to yourself but there's one thing that I always stick in my mind, that I should not wait for illness as my reason to stop an unhealthy habit. Obesity is a serious problem, because it causes more spending on healthcare due to various illnesses it will give one. Media could help to educate people on eating and staying healthy by making more tv shows, advertisements helping people to turn eating habits to a physical activities. Maybe give higher tax to pizza and other junk food? lol!

The Lemba Clan, Are They Real Jews
November 19, 2002 Text: 11 pages Figures: 2 pages Bibliography: 3 pages
Introduction Walking through the Venda Plaza shopping center in Thohoyandou, South Africa, R dai ae ta a ad a tm ,T aioe f Jws bo e . Gv g i a uznw vdo m n n si o e" hts n o my e i rt r" i n h d h hs i m pzl ytn i e l kh ep i d"a a l k e . cm f m I al l gi e uz d ei r ud o ,e xln ,Im Ba Jw We a er s eao t e tg o ae c o r n m aoT e hv poe iwt gns N t nowing what to say and not having heard about this g. hy ae rvdt i ee. o k h " before, I let his statement pass. My time in South Africa was devoted to working with a victim empowerment program, but I continued to wonder about the idea of Black Jews. The Black Jew or Lemba population creates a blip on a cultural map of sub-Saharan Africa. When researchers discovered and studied them over the last fifteen years, the Lemba also made a blip on the genetic map of sub-Saharan Africa. Genetic analysis of the Lemba has focused primarily on the Y chromosome, which is useful for studying variation among and distance between populations. The Lemba genetic markers support the oral tradition which says the Lemba came from the north. This paper reviews biological and cultural studies of the Lemba and the correlation between genes and oral tradition to propose a biocultural history for the Lemba people. Biology Genetic Variation across Populations Much of the study of genetic variation has focused on dissimilarity between groups. Genetic variation over time is used to postulate about the place and time of the origins of modern humans as well as subsequent movement and migration. Genetic variation is the greatest in Africa, and it is reasoned that the longer a group has been around, the more variation it will have in its gene pool. Additionally, the longer groups are apart, the greater their genetic distance (Cavalli-Sforza and Cavalli-Sforza, 1995). Maps of variation show migrations out of, around,
and back in to Africa (Cavalli-Sforza and Cavalli-Sforza, 1995). Based on comparison of genetic landscapes, maps by Cavalli-Sforza and Cavalli-Sforza (1995) show the arrival of Neolithic cultivators in northern Africa 8,000 to 9,000 years ago. The migration of people continues down the eastern side of Africa, with groups mixing and moving. According to Cavalli-Sforza and Cavalli-Sforza (1995), the Bantu arrived in South Africa 300 to 400 years ago, and the archaeological and linguistic data support the history of Bantu expansion. Cavalli-Sforza't e o py gnt r aosi a gnr e t og ae g sr s f hl eece t nh s r ee t h uh vr e e o i li p e ad r a linkage analysis. Synthetic maps are produced from principle-component analysis of multiple gene frequencies.

The Lemba are an anomaly in the genetic patterns of Southern Africa. Variation and the Y Chromosome The primary genetic research on the Lemba has used the Y chromosome for comparison with other groups. The Y chromosome has many characteristics that make it favorable for investigating lineage. Almost all of the Y chromosome consists of non-recombining regions and the information is passed intact from generation to generation, from father to son. The variations, called polymorphisms, occur so infrequently that they are commonly called unique event polymorphisms...

different time intervals, thus the changes can be compared between and among groups to examine relatedness and age by identifying variations (Bradman and Thomas 1998)
One possible method for distinguishing a Semitic origin, versus a general Middle Eastern origin, of the Lemba is to make comparisons with the Cohen modal haplotype, which is dominant in the Jewish priesthood (Thomas et al., 1998)
The Lemba live in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, but according to Buijs it is only in South Africa where one finds the belief of Jewish origins (1998)

Hola Bloggies:
So by this time you're well versed in my Banff adventures! But did you know I also tried camping?
And while this wasn't my first time camping, it was my first time car camping.
All the previous times I had gone camping I had really roughed it in the wild.
Think loading all your gear into a canoe, rowing for hours on end, then setting up camp in a totally remote back country kind of place.
Admittedly, even with car camping I was kind of afraid of the animals.
I find the thought of encountering a cougar (or a grizzly) incredibly terrifying.
Turns out I had nothing to worry about at all.
The campground was much too noisy and well lit for any animals.
Or me for that matter.
At 1:30 I gave up trying to fall asleep outside and crawled into my car.
I know, eh!? Giant. Car. Camping. Fail.
Maybe I'll try it again; but I'm in no hurry.
Question: Have you ever gone camping? Back woods style or car camping? Did you enjoy it?
