Very nice hotel, room small but well designed. Food very good and hotel clean. Good view from hotel balcony Only down side is bar staff very unfriendly and it took 25 minutes to get served, even if only one other person was waiting; this happened every time we wanted a drink.

Advocates push parents to look into preschool programs
ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. (WEAR) —
Hundreds of kids in Escambia County are not ready for kindergarten and early childhood advocates want parents to change that.
There are 84 voluntary pre-kindergarten program sites in Escambia County currently serving about 2,200 4-year-olds.
The programs are free and 24 of them are faith-based.
Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County says there is an estimate of 3,000 preschoolers in the county and they know not all of them will be in classrooms next year.
"An individual school, an individual location may at time from year to year have limitations on the number of students they can enroll. But in the aggregate, this county has more than enough capacity and more than enough opportunity and a diversity of opportunity. There is no reason a parent should not be able to find the ideal place to place their child," said Bruce Watson, director of Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County.
Parents can head over to the Coalition's website to register their child for a volunteer pre-kindergarten program or click here.

That's the question on the tip of my tongue after tonight's results. I think Rudy has done the honorable thing in dropping out now that it has become clear that he isn't going to be the nominee. In so doing, Rudy has shown class, and a concern for the future of the party. He understands that after Florida he would be reduced to a non-candidate candidate who could merely siphon votes (largely from Sen. McCain) without any chance of actually winning. This wouldn't be good for the country, nevermind the party.
Now consider Huckabee. He's siphoning votes from somebody, and I believe that person is Gov. Romney. After his dismal performances in New Hampshire and Michigan and his underwhelming performances in South Carolina and Florida, it's clear that the Huckster has lost his groove.
Now let me say this: I believe Mike Huckabee is a good and decent man. But … Read the Rest »

Due to the wide range of applications of nanotechnology, no typical customer can be defined. Inquiries range from purely analytical problems to precisely defined contract research drawing on several areas of expertise.
Our CAN staff members work together in customer- and problem-specific project groups to find the right strategy to solve a customer's problem. Expertise in the areas of synthesis, functionalization and optimization of nanoscale structures assures successful completion of orders. However, the more clear-cut the customer's idea and description of the problem is, the more precisely and quickly a solution can be found. The CAN GmbH Team would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
If an inquiry requires more than our own know-how, we will contact partners from our own network to find the appropriate solution.

Who's Going to Save Our Souls?
By Reginald Richardson | Bed-Stuy Patch
By every measure, whether you are looking at statistics in graduation rates, literacy and academic achievement, unemployment, health and wellness, crime, substance abuse, college attendance or wealth, you will find that young men of color occupy the bottom ranks of our society in almost every area.
This is a problem that has reached crisis levels– a problem that not only affects Black and Latino males, but whose ramifications will impact everyone in this country.
This past August, Mayor Bloomberg announced that the city would be launching a program to deal with the enormous array of problems that have been crushing the lives of the majority of young Black and Latino men here in New York City. The program is called the Young Men's Initiative.
On Friday, September 16, the Black Male Donor Collaborative called together a panel discussion at NYU-Polytechnic in downtown Brooklyn to give New York State Education Commissioner Dr. John B. King and NYC Chancellor of Schools Dennis Walcott a candid opportunity to share their vision for the Young Men's Initiative.
The event was attended by hundreds of Black and Latino educational leaders and the heads of community based organization from all over the city and state. All of the key participants in the discussion, including King, Walcott and Young, were black men. The sponsors for the event, the Black Male Donor Collaborative (BMDC, supported by the Schott Foundation), and the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, are headed by black women, Nicole Sharpe and Kimberly James respectively.
Looking at the array of accomplished individuals who were on the stage and in the room, it became clear to me how rare it was to witness such an alignment of Black and Latino educators and administrators in these very key positions of influence. In fact, there may never be a better time to try to tackle the crisis surrounding young men of color than right now.
However, while there seemed to be a clear and coherent vision for why this initiative was necessary and what the outcomes of the initiative should be, what was not clear was a specific plan on how to prioritize and implement the recommendations to accomplish the stated objectives.
Based on what I have read about the initiative and what I heard that evening from the panel participants, it seems clear to me that there is one area that must be given the greatest amount of attention if we are to have any chance at succeeding with this initiative in a meaningful way. We must prioritize identifying and developing enough of the right people critical to executing the vision.
I looked around the room at NYU and kept saying to myself, we need many more of "us" — The "us" meaning highly skilled Black and Latino people who believe strongly in the merits of education and who are committed to breaking the cycle. The problem is, the overall numbers of us who can be counted in that pool of people are so woefully low.
I wondered, so who will be the people responsible for the day to day work required to successfully implement this agenda? What will be the mechanisms and resources in place to identify, train and appropriately compensate people of the highest quality to engage in this work? And who will be charged with consistently monitoring the outcomes?
Will this task once again fall back into the hands of third-party for-profit and non-profit organizations looking to bankroll their jobs off of our community's ongoing problems?
Or how can we instead, help grow the capacity of culturally relevant (black and Latino-run), community based organizations to engage in this work on the scale required to make a difference on a broader scale?
If you really think about it, one of the primary reasons we find ourselves at such a critical juncture with respect to young Black and Latino males is that too many of our children have been forced to navigate unassisted a social landscape that has been shaped by systemic racism.
The byproduct of this is generation after generation of parents who do not have the tools to help their children to successfully navigate over the obstacles that prevent them from becoming successful.
Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury to dwell on systemic racism, nor the time to unravel all of the complexities of what it takes to "undo" racism. Therefore, these young people need to be more in touch with examples of Black and Latino men (and women) who possess the combination of knowledge, skills, commitment and credibility necessary to help them make the appropriate life choices.
This type of work cannot be outsourced. Nor can it be automated through technological advances. This work will require the efforts of tens of thousands of people — not avatars, not distance learning– I mean real people who are highly skilled and wholly committed.
We will also need people with the technical capacity to collect, interpret and monitor data, so that we will be able to determine if what we are doing is effective.
The initial steps that are taken to solve this problem will determine the ultimate success or failure of the initiative. No matter how well intentioned or what amazing systems are created, if the right people are not in the right places, we will ultimately fail.
Nothing less than the soul of our community and our country is at stake, so we have to get this right from the beginning. It begins with knowing who the critical people will be.
Is one of them you?

I just realized that Texas has the largest Wind Turbine Capacity in USA.
We were driving along Interstate Highway I-10, when we saw rows and rows of wind turbines along the road. Even though this technology has been around for quite some time, we were quite amazed to see wind turbines along the highways. A rough estimation would be at least 50 wind turbines.
Current U.S. wind power capacity is over 11,600 MW, or enough to serve the equivalent of 3 million average households. *WOW*
I knew that wind turbine technology is getting common, but I did not know that it is currently powering that many homes. Europe has 48,000 MW wind power capacity & India with 7000 MW wind power capacity (not take into account of capacity & availability factors).
I was browsing through some information on the Denmark Offshore Wind Farms (Horns Reef) – Awesome. This is a video that my colleague shared with me, showing how these Gigantic Wind Turbines were manufactured and mounted on the North Sea.
From Manufacturing & Assembly point of view -> Very Impressive! The sheer size the offshore wind turbines, *WOW* even though they might look very small from the ocean view.
Also in Malaysia, there is a 150kW Wind Turbine built in Layang-Layang Sabah (haven been able to find reports on how successful this project is). And not forgetting Bahrain's World Trade Centre. I had the opportunity to see these twin towers with 3 wind turbines sandwitched in between. Once operational, the wind turbines will deliver approximately 11-15% of the energy needs of the building, or 1100 to 1300 megawatt-hours per year — enough to provide light in 300 homes for over a year. I am not sure how practical it is (there is not much wind at the bay when we were there), but it is certainly COOL!
Trying to put things from a $$$ perspective, I use Singapore's Energy Consumption pattern as an example, since I spent a good 11 years of my life there. (by no means making suggestions that Singapore should harness Wind Energy).
After doing some math shown below (with some assumptions), The Cost of Electricity using Natural Gas is 6.23 cents per KWH. The Cost of Electricity using Wind Energy is 5 cents per KWH.
This means that, if Singapore were to consume Electricity at the rate it did in 2005, it would have cost Singapore US$340 million less (0.3% of Singapore's 2006 GDP) by using Wind Energy.
If the estimation calculation is not too far from true, I guess we could see more of this technology in the future! Imagine if we can have one of these turbines on top of every building powering up the whole building. Not sure whether the Architects will like this idea (Good Luck to the Birds too), but it guess it could save us some oil & gas. =)
————————– Estimation Calculation————————
2005 Singapore Electricity Consumption – 34 Billion KWH (80% generated by Natural Gas) & 6.4 Billion Cubic Meter of Natural Gas
If all Electricity Consumption is generated 100% by Natural Gas, 8 Billion Cubic Meter of Natural Gas Consumption in year 2005 (Assuming all Natural Gas consumption is used to generate Electricity)
Price of Natural Gas US$0.265 per cubic meter
8 Billion Cubic Meter of Natural Gas (producing 34 billion KWH) Costs US$2.12 Billion (Assuming that processing, distribution & other cost negligible)
Cost of 1 kWH of Electricity from Natural Gas = 6.23 cents
Cost of 1 kWH of Electricity from Wind Turbines = 5 cents

Hail storms roll through North Texas almost every Spring causing vehicle damage. Do you have hail damage? Have you filed a claim? Hail claims will not go against your driving record and should not effect insurance rates. Nu Way Car Center has been in business in the same location for over 20 years. Therefore we strive to make the claims process stress-free for our customers. The steps listed below explain how to handle your hail claim.
* Call your insurance company and file a claim. A claim number will be provided to you.
* An adjuster will be scheduled to assess the hail damage and write an estimate.
* Drop your vehicle off at Nu Way Car Center along with the insurance estimate. We do not need to write an estimate. Repairs are started from the insurance estimate.
* As a result of estimates being preliminary, most will need revising. Therefore we will review your estimate and if any additional repairs are needed a supplement is submitted to your insurance
* Once supplements are approved repairs will begin.
* Customers are updated throughout the repair process.
In conclusion we hope these steps help explain the hail claims process. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Nu Way Car Center.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Energy related stocks posted strong second-quarter results Thursday, boosted by continuing demand for oil, natural gas and electricity.
Among those reporting were Anadarko, Phillips, Noble Drilling and Calpine. Traders also were assessing just how effective OPEC's latest move to curb production will be.
Anadarko Q2 profit skyrockets
Anadarko Petroleum's second-quarter net income soared more than sixfold as increased natural gas production and higher gas prices offset a decline in the price of crude oil, the independent oil and gas producer reported Thursday.
The company APC, +3.26% said net income soared to $401 million, or $1.50 a share, in the latest quarter, up from $64 million, or 64 cents a share, earned in the same period a year earlier. The results were boosted by a one-time gain of $31 million, or 12 cents a share, to reflect a lower tax rate on its Canadian operations. Analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial had expected the company to earn $1.30 a share on average.
Gas production boosts Apache Q2
Apache Corp., an independent oil and gas company, posted an increase in second-quarter profit Thursday fueled by higher natural gas production.
Apache said it earned $201 million, or $1.55 a share, vs. $139 million, or $1.18 a share, in the year-ago period. Excluding a one-time, after-tax impairment charge of $41 million in Poland and China, where oil and gas have yet to be produced, Apache earned $241 million, or $1.85 a share, vs. $139 million, or $1.18 a share in the second quarter of 2000.
The $1.85 a share figure beat analyst expectations, according to First Call/Thomson Financial, which typically excludes one-time charges. Analysts were expecting Apache to earn an average of $1.72 a share.
Phillips Petroleum Q2 a gusher
Phillips Petroleum beat Wall Street second-quarter profit expectations when it reported a 37 percent income increase on the strength of higher crude production and U.S. natural gas prices and an improved performance from its refining, marketing and transportation business.
On Thursday, the integrated oil and gas company P, -1.61% posted operating income of $601 million, or $2.33 a share, vs. $439 million, or $1.72 a share, in the year-ago period. Analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected Phillips to earn, on average, $1.90 a share in the most recent quarter.
Noble Drilling Q2 profit matches target
Noble Drilling's second-quarter profit matched analysts' profit consensus Thursday on improving operations and international activity, but revenue was a bit off-target.
Noble Drilling NE, +1.62% posted earnings of $68 million, or 50 cents per share, in the latest three months, in line with the average estimate of analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial. Revenue totaled $246.6 million for the quarter, $3 million less than the market's average expectation.
Baker Hughes Q2 earnings top target
Oil-field services company Baker Hughes reported early Thursday that operating profit soared 169 percent in the second quarter due to strong drilling activity from oil and gas companies.
The company BHI, +1.10% recorded an after-tax operating profit, excluding extraordinary items, of $105.3 million, or 31 cents per share, in the second quarter, up from $39.2 million, or 12 cents per share, in the year-ago period. Analysts had expected the company to report earnings per share of 27 cents in the second quarter, according to a consensus estimate provided by First Call/Thomson Financial.
Expanded operations lift AES Q2 profit
The AES Corp.'s efforts to expand its earnings base helped lift its second-quarter earnings past Wall Street's consensus estimate, the global power company said late Thursday.
After the market closed, AES AES, -0.82% posted second-quarter earnings of $179 million, 33 cents a share, excluding special items, beating the consensus estimate provided by First Call/Thomson Financial by 4 cents a share.
Allegheny Energy Q2 profit up 70%
Higher revenue from unregulated operations lifted Allegheny Energy's second-quarter income by 70 percent, the diversified energy company said late Thursday.
The Hagerstown, Md.-based firm posted a profit of $121.3 million, or $1.01 per share for the quarter, compared with $71.5 million, or 65 cents a share a year-ago. Earnings for the second quarter include the sale of 14.26 million shares of common stock on May 2, Allegheny said, which reduced earnings per share by 8 cents. On average, analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial expected a profit-per-share of 76 cents.
Alan Noia, the company's CEO attributed the rise in "strong performance" at the Allegheny Energy Global Markets marketing and trading operation. Total revenue quadrupled to $3.5 billion, from $865 million a year earlier as revenue at its unregulated generation and energy marketing operations rose to $2.8 billion from $286.5 million.
Noia also reaffirmed expectations that the company will achieve full year 2001 earnings of $3.80 to $4.10 a share. The market currently expects $3.85 a share. Shares closed up $1.35 to $43.85, ahead of the news Thursday.
Calpine profit up 95%, sales up 284%
Calpine said its efforts to acquire and provide efficient power generating facilities in key power markets prompted a 95 percent increase in its second-quarter profit, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations.
The San Jose, Calif.-based corporation C.PN, +0.15% reported second-quarter income from recurring operations of $132.2 million, or 39 cents per share, compared to $59.9 million, or 20 cents a share. Calpine topped the 31-cent per share estimate expected by most analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial.
TXU reports record revenue, profit up
Strength in its electric operations in the U.S., Europe and Australia lifted TXU's second-quarter results and helped the energy company post a profit above analyst expectations.
TXU TXU said Thursday that it earned $201 million, or 78 cents a share, vs. $227 million, or 67 cents a share, posted a year ago. The second quarter of 2000 included a $50 million after-tax gain. Analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected TXU, which owns the largest electricity company in Texas, to earn an average of 73 cents a share.
Sempra's Q2 revenue rises 40%
Energy service provider Sempra posted a 25 percent rise in second-quarter income on a 40 percent jump in revenue, but higher natural gas costs kept earnings at its utility unit barely changed from a year ago.
Sempra Energy earned $137 million, or 66 cents in its second quarter, compared to $110 million, or 55 cents a year-ago as revenue climbed to $2.1 billion from $1.5 billion a year earlier. The latest results beat the average 65-cent estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial. Sempra Energy also reaffirmed its earnings-per-share expectations for the year of $2.50 -- slightly above the market's consensus of $2.49.
Oil market assesses OPEC output cut
Crude prices fell Thursday, but petroleum product futures closed higher as traders assessed the size of the OPEC production cut that's set to begin Sept. 1. Shares of oil and natural gas companies were mixed.
"With OPEC's decision to cut output at the lower range of expectations, quota compliance by the group will be an even more important factor," a note from analysts at MV Energy in Princeton, N.J. said.

SNA minutes 2015-04
Samish Neighborhood Association Meeting
April 9, 2015, Community Baptist Church
Meeting called to order by Secretary Abell.
Board members present: Steve Abell, Garey Vodopich, Dick Conoboy, Don Hale, Joy Hale, Judy Brightman, Nikki Long
Board members absent: Joe Carpenter, Kevin Probasco, Junga Subedar
Guests: Ken & Sue Lingbloom, Tom Read, Amanda Milner (WWU), Fred Dayton
Public Comments: Amanda Milner is a student at WWU. She is here in conjunction with her class in reporting.
President's Announcements: New board members Judy Brightman and Joy Hale were welcomed. Board members and guests all introduced themselves.
Old business:
Meeting minutes from February and March were approved.
Treasurer's report: Collected and deposited $1,440.50 in dues. Expenditures included $1,041.50 to Speedy Automated Mailers for printing and mailing the Spring Newsletter, and $21.57 for food offered at the Spring meeting. Received and deposited the city neighborhood grant money of $500.00. Checkbook balance on April 9 is $2,615.18. We currently have 112 paid members. 74 memberships expired on April 1 and have not been renewed. We can expect a few more dues payments over the next month or two.
Zoning update: Public hearings for Area 9 (rezone to remove non-retail restriction) and 801 Samish Way (rezone from single family residential conditional use to commercial planned offices only to allow Pacific Harbor Holdings to convert church building to the home of their psychology practice) come before the City Council on April 13 (postponed from April 6). Interested parties are encouraged to attend and offer their input to the Council.
Public hearing for Ashley Street (rezone from commercial auto to commercial planned) property between the WWU park & ride lot on Lincoln and Ashley Street comes before the Council on May 4.
This proposal includes a group of 7 new single family homes on a new 36th Street cul de sac from Fielding/Samish intersection. The developer's plan meets current zoning code (single family residential) therefore required only a review by the Hearing Examiner. As far as we know there was no testimony in opposition and this project will move forward, although the timing is unknown at this time.
MNAC update: Dick participated in a focus group that reviewed the ongoing issue of a new ordinance that will regulate ADU-detached housing units (accessory dwelling units separate from an existing house but on the same property). Consideration of this will continue with City Council.
We now have ten board members. Our by-laws allow 9 to 15. It was the feeling of the board that we would like to recruit more board members but it has proven difficult to do this. The best way, by consensus of the members present, is to approach neighbors person-to-person. The item published in the Spring newsletter failed to generate any visible interest among neighbors. We don't really have a neighborhood-wide cause to help capture interest. Current board members can approach their own neighbors to try to generate interest in joining the board. We see advantages in having a larger board and more diversity in board membership, especially from 38th Street and above, an area with little representation currently.
Steve reported that his project to create a planning document for the March meeting and September picnic was nearly finished and will be used for picnic planning this fall.
Back in November Joe suggested that we create a log of neighborhood responses to rezone proposals that have come up. We all agreed that this would be valuable so that future support for or opposition to new rezone proposals would have some history to look at. Much of the information is now available on COB.org by searching the website archives. Also, assembling and organizing these records would be a very heavy lift. It was thought that just a summary document would require less time but would still be worthwhile. Collect a log of just the basics – what happened and how it came out – with dates and links to available information. There were no volunteers to take this project on.
New business:
Our by-laws require nomination and election of officers to occur at the April meeting. Garey nominated Steve Abell for president and Dick for vice president. The nominations were seconded, and both individuals were elected by unanimous vote of board members present. No nominations were made for secretary or treasurer, so these offices are unfilled. Our by-laws allow both offices to be filled by the same person. Steve, having served in both capacities since November, pointed out that a single person can easily do both jobs if that person has the time (i.e. retired or with a part time job). In many ways keeping records and mailing lists up to date is easier if the same person does both jobs. We will reopen the nomination process at the May meeting. We need to fill these offices.
We currently only have one person (Steve) on the approved list of check signers for our North Coast CU account. For safety and convenience we need two. The two people normally on this list are the president and the treasurer, so we really do need a treasurer.
We discussed how we might attract more neighbors to our monthly meetings. Some of the ideas discussed were developing an interesting guest speaker program, broadly sending out our meeting agenda in advance to develop interest, changing the location of our meeting (we decided the church is still the best, and maybe only, place available), having fewer meetings, or having food available at meetings. No decisions were made, although several neighbors in attendance said they liked the idea of seeing an agenda ahead of time so we'll try to continue doing that and see if it helps increase attendance.
We will make a reservation for the playground pavilion at Lake Padden park for our fall neighborhood picnic. This is usually the first or second Sunday after Labor Day, so the first choice is September 13, with September 20 as a backup date. Steve will make the reservation.
We discussed the availability of a Nextdoor.com neighborhood group. This is a way to facilitate communication among Samish neighbors. There is a group already in place although not many residents are aware of it. Any Samish resident can create a free account at Nextdoor.com and join the Samish Hill group. One advantage of joining is that our NPO's (Neighborhood Police Officers) Eric Osterkamp and Dante Alexander post news of police and criminal activity on this site.
Meeting adjourned.

President and acting secretary/treasurer

Peonies by Mary Oliver
This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready
to break my heart
as the sun rises,
as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers
and they open ---
pools of lace,
white and pink ---
and all day the black ants climb over them,
boring their deep and mysterious holes
into the curls,
craving the sweet sap,
taking it away
to their dark, underground cities ---
and all day
under the shifty wind,
as in a dance to the great wedding,
the flowers bend their bright bodies,
and tip their fragrance to the air,
and rise,
their red stems holding
all that dampness and recklessness
gladly and lightly,
and there it is again ---
beauty the brave, the exemplary,
blazing open.
Do you love this world?
Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?
Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers,
with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?

I've been relatively busy lately, planning my trip and hanging out with all the friends I won't see during my month away, and I've fallen behind on the blogging. I apologize, but I'm not sorry =)
Just thought I'd post an interesting link today showing just how fantastic Arch Linux is. Because of it's rolling release model, Arch is always trying to hold in its repositories the newest release of any piece of software. Open Source Watershed has some numbers now on just how fast Arch is kept up to date in comparison to other distros, especially those that don't follow a rolling release.
I find it very comforting to know that I have the latest version of a program. All the latest bug fixes, security updates and the newest features. I'm sure that major releases and serious bug and security fixes are released in a timely fashion in other distros but you can't beat an average of 2 weeks to repo packaging that Arch Linux has =)
For the interested, here are a few other Linux distributions that hold to the rolling release model.

Stay pretty close to home as we do not want to get caught on the street when the army comes in.
The looting is terrible! When the American forces left, they gave much of their stores to citizens to keep it from falling into the hands of the enemy. After they left, the Philippinos started to loot the Chinese stores. The police are powerless (?) to stop them and it continued till the Japanese came in. All stores were gutted, literally cleaned of anything of value. All fixtures were broken and thrown into the streets. Harrison St. and Libertad here in Pasay were shambles. Broken glass, furniture, and papers and cloth strewn around.
It is a good thing we have a few canned goods in the house, as there are NO stores now and nothing being sold in the market. Rice is at a premium.
In the evening, we went down to the corner of Taft and Buendia to see the first Japanese soldiers enter the city. Impossible to describe our feelings of apprehension and fear.

What to expect from my class: He will take you out of your comfort zone and push your limits. When you go to his class you can expect to work hard and do things you never thought you could.
My fitness journey: Gaetz comes from a military background and designs all his workouts with a strong mental and physical aspect. He has worked with thousands of athletes over the last 25 years, making each one better in their own way.
Where to find me: If you're looking for Gaetan outside of class, you will usually find him somewhere near the water… above, on or below, or in the woods. If it can be done outside, Gaetan will always be up for it.

Indian Cinema has, for long, been portraying obsessed lovers. Some of them possess an extra-ordinary verbal communication style (K-K-K-K-Kiran). Others possess supposedly cool hairstyles. And some have a story where they leave the world for somebody and then that 'somebody' leaves them. When you go back in time, you see the same happening in Mahabharata too and the victims such tragedies are mostly the kings. Would you really be that interested if it were to happen to a commoner anyway?!
Pururava was a young and handsome king. When I say young and handsome, it means that practicing warrior-skills, hunting and partying were his major hobbies. Administration of kingdom, for such kings, was usually the second priority. There are a very few examples of kings who were young and handsome and capable at the same time. Unfortunately, Pururava was not. And before he could make his transition from young and handsome to capable, something happened!
Once when he was out hunting in a forest, he came across the apsara (river-nymph) Urvashi. The sight of the scantily dressed apsara, who was a favourite even among the Devas, was definitely the most enthralling sight of Pururava's youth.
With the confidence characteristic of kings and attitude characteristic of self-proclaimed handsome men, Pururava went to Urvashi and asked her out.
Pururava: The Almighty must have exhausted all his creativity in carving a beauty like you. What would it take of me to make you mine? I want you to marry me and be my queen.
Urvashi: No ordinary man can ask me out in this fashion. Your confidence and your flashy attire indicate that you are from the royal bloodline. But are you worthy enough for the beautiful creation of the Almighty like you just said?
Pururava: There is no feat in this world impossible for me to perform as long as I possess my bow and arrows. You can be sure about me.
Urvashi: I would rather marry a lover than a warrior. I don't seek the power of your weapons, I only seek the power of your words. You will have to promise me that you will take care of my pet goats. They are very dear to me. Also, promise me that except for me you will never appear naked in front of anybody. If you are willing to make these two promises, I will marry you.
Pururava: I am a Kshatriya, to protect the helpless is my Dharma. Will I not protect your goats? I promise I will. And I will protect your second promise too. My Kshatriya instincts are not limited to people alone!
These promises were perhaps Urvashi's ways of ensuring that her husband remains loyal to her concerns and never brings in a second wife that decreases her importance. Pururava didn't think much before making the promises either. The Kshatriya factor often deluded the decision making powers of the kings. Anyway, they both got married and lived happily for some time, increasing the prospective candidates for the royal inheritance and inspiring stories that would be carved out later in Indian temples meant for selective visitors.
Indra, the original boss of apsaras, could not bear this long separation from the apple of his eye, Urvashi. He wanted her back at any cost, so he ordered the gandharvas to bring Urvashi back. The gandharvas stole the pet goats of Urvashi one day when Pururava was busy making love to her. Urvashi, on realizing that her goats had been stolen, requested Pururava to rescue them. He hurried out without bothering to cover himself keen to keep the first promise he made to his wife while forgetting the second one. At that moment, Indra launched a thunder in the sky causing a public display of the king's private properties.
In spite of his best efforts, Pururava could not keep both his promises. Urvashi decided to leave Pururava the way he was, not continuing her stay with the husband king since the promises that were the basis of their marriage were broken.
The separation left Pururava devastated and he lost all sense. He isolated himself from his kingdom and became mad, not being able to rule the kingdom anymore. Had India had access to Italian Marble in those days, a Taj Mahal would have come into existence much before in Indian History than when it actually did. Pururava was replaced by one of his more capable sons.
The story of Pururava and Urvashi holds relevance for two major reasons in the Mahabharata:
1. Generations later, much like Pururava, Shantanu was also smitten by beautiful nymphs/ladies. First, it was Ganga to whom he made promises without giving any thought and then Satyavati, to whom he did not make any promises but somehow the situation was quite similar (wait for the related post).
2. When Arjuna visited Amravati during the exile, he was approached by Urvashi with amorous intents. He politely declined the tempting offer of the celestial beauty following the code of conduct of his civilization which ended in his being cursed by her.
Numerous incidents of previous generations keep on influencing the course of lives and decisions of characters throughout the Mahabharata.

Here the descriptor used, MOLPRINT 2D, and the method to compare fingerprints, the Tanimoto coefficient, are briefly described. For further details please see the references.
The Descriptor Used
The descriptor used in this work is based on counts of atom types around each heavy atom of the molecule. This is illustrated here:
Thus the descriptor is similar to "Augmented Atoms" which were already around in the 70s, or e.g. to Scitegic ECFP fingerprints. It differs from Scitegic fingerprints in the information that is contained in addition to the chemical element: Whereas Scitegic ECFP fingerprints use a wide range of information ty type each atom (element, charge, valence, number of bonds to hydrogens and heavy atoms) the descriptor employed here simply uses mol2 atom types.

I spent the afternoon in Parkfield at a family fun day designed to raise funds to help the victims of the dreadful floods in Pakistan. At the Lib Dem conference Nick Clegg talked about his visit to Pakistan and Afghanistan earlier and how flying over the floods brought home to him the scale of the disaster. The area covered and the lack of infrastructure to cope don't bear thinking about. A group of women in Parkfield had organised today's event and it certainly seemed to be a success. I met lots of people I haven't seen for some time, years in a few cases, and was introduced to people I hadn't met. People did seem to appreciate the fact that someone from outside the community had come along to support them. For the first time in many years I sampled Kashmiri tea, and the vegetable samosas will be much appreciated later.
Much is made of the way in which British people pull together in times of adversity and it was certainly in evidence today. First, second and third generation British muslims of Pakistani origin were working with people whose own roots might well go back to the Viking invaders or the Normans. It really didn't matter - the need to help those devastated by the floods flattened any barriers there might be between individuals and groups.

A popular series of free economics elective courses has made its on-site debut at Rennert Bilingual English language school in New York. The classes previously had been held at the Henry George School but have been shifted to Rennert's campus due to their popularity.
The free courses, which are due to take place twice a week, will start on the first Tuesday of every month and run for four weeks. The classes focus on the history and fundamentals of macroeconomics, and are taught by teachers from the Henry George School of Social Science. The courses offer English language students the chance to improve their language skills as their general knowledge. Students receive a certificate upon completion of their course.
"These courses set up very well for our students," says Brad Nield, a Rennert teacher who coordinates the classes. "There is a one-hour formal lecture followed by a one-hour discussion that is generated both by spontaneous questions and written materials that summarizes the course's main points," he adds.
Rennert Bilingual English language students who finish the first session can go on to a second and third month-long certificate course. Classes are limited to 15 students. Agents or students can pre-register for the courses by contacting Rennert's admissions department.
The Henry George School has been offering free economics classes since 1932. Its focus is on demystifying the principles of economics and providing the conceptual tools students need to understand boom/bust cycles, chronic poverty and other economic problems.

Potter syndrome and Potter phenotype refers to a group of findings associated with a lack of
Alternative Names
Potter phenotype
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In Potter syndrome, the primary problem is kidney failure. The kidneys fail to develop properly as the baby is growing in the womb. The kidneys normally produce the amniotic fluid (as urine).
Potter phenotype refers to a typical facial appearance that occurs in a newborn when there is no amniotic fluid. The lack of amniotic fluid is called oligohydramnios. Without amniotic fluid, the infant is not cushioned from the walls of the uterus. The pressure of the uterine wall leads to an unusual facial appearance, including widely separated eyes.
Potter phenotype may also lead to abnormal limbs, or limbs that are held in abnormal positions or
Oligohydramnios also stops development of the lungs, so the lungs do not work properly at birth.
- Widely separated eyes with
epicanthal folds, broad nasal bridge, low set ears, and receding chin
- Absence of urine output
- Difficulty breathing
Signs and tests
A pregnancy
The following tests may be used to help diagnose the condition in a newborn:
X-ray of the abdomen X-ray of the lungs
Resuscitation at delivery may be attempted pending the diagnosis. Treatment will be provided for any urinary outlet obstruction.
Expectations (prognosis)
This is a very serious condition, usually deadly. The short-term outcome depends on the severity of lung involvement. Long-term outcome depends on the severity of kidney involvement.
There is no known prevention.

And I really wouldnt have the brass neck to blame it all on a book, especially one that I claimed never to have read.ReplyDelete
Well said MMM.
The Expresso interview, 06 September 2008
Q – Your English lawyers already have a translated copy and they are analysing it. Do you intend to sue Gonçalo Amaral?
Gerry – At this moment we are focused on what we can do to find Madeleine and not in suing anyone.
Kate – All that I am going to say about this – because I'm not going to waste any time on Mr Amaral – is that as a professional and as a person his behaviour has been a disgrace.
Q – Aren't you curious to know what the book says?
Kate – What for? It must be nothing but a load of rubbish. It is so secondary… It certainly won't help to find our daughter. My consolation is that on the cover he calls her Maddie, the name that the media have invented. We never called her anything like that.
- Anonymous11 September 2012 at 13:09
''"lack of appetite, deep depression, sleepless nights and anxiety".''ReplyDelete
Dr Amaral's book caused all that\or ... well! or his opinion.
Totally amazed that is wasn't the loss of Madeleine, after spending four nights, alone in an unlucked apartment, despite her mentioning, 'where were you'
Any parent losing a child, particularly in the circumstances of Madeleine's disappearance (of course depending of you person preferance of scenario)would suffer. Doubt they would ever want sleep, smile or eat again.

Turkey Noodle Soup 1/8/05
Okay, so today I made turkey noodle soup with homemade turkey stock and homemade herb noodles. I used the stock that I made from the New Year's Day turkey. I made the noodles from scratch too. After consulting several cookbooks and finding that each of them had the exact same recipe, I made the noodles using two cups of all purpose flour, two large eggs, a 1/4 c. of water, and a tablespoon of canola oil, and a handful (maybe half a cup) of chopped fresh chives. I added these to the turkey stock in addition to two small carrots, chopped, one bell pepper, chopped, one celery stock, chopped and two scallions, chopped. I cooked the vegetables until just tender and the noodles until they were al dente and then added them to the stock. It was really tasty. I had diluted the turkey stock with 3/4 c. of water so the soup was just the right amount of salty. The noodles were chewy and delicious. I managed to roll them out to just the right thickness (1/16 of an inch) which was still pretty thick for a noodle. It was just really, really good. I've been inspired. I'm going to make homemade pasta much more often, and next time I'm going to use at least part wheat four, because then it will be even more chewy. I really enjoyed the chewiness of the noodles.

Jordan's PM resigns after days of anti-austerity protests
Prices increases and a new income tax law angered many and made Amman the most expensive capital city ion the Arab world
Related topics
Jordanian Prime Minister Hani Mulki resigned on Monday after days of anti-austerity protests by citizens suffering from high unemployment and repeated prices increases.
Mulki was summoned by King Abdullah II after the capital Amman and several other cities were rocked by protests that drew thousands of people.
"Prime Minister Hani Mulki submitted his resignation to the king this afternoon during a meeting at the Husseiniyeh Palace and the king accepted the resignation," a government source said, adding that the king asked Education Minister Omar al-Razzaz to form a new government.
The rallying cries by demonstrators for Mulki to step down came after the government adopted a draft income tax law and announced price increases based on recommendations by the International Monetary Fund.
Protesters had vowed not to "kneel" and earned support from trade unions as well as a majority of MPs opposed to the new tax.
On Saturday Mulki met trade union representatives who demanded the income tax law be revoked, but they failed to reach an agreement.
According to official estimates, 18.5 per cent of the population is unemployed, while 20 per cent are on the brink of poverty.
The premier's meeting with the king came hours after around 5,000 people gathered outside Mulki's office in Amman, on the fifth consecutive day of protests.
Jordan, a mostly desert kingdom with few resources, has seen prices of several basic goods and services like bread, fuel and electricity steadily rise over the past year.
The Economist Intelligence Unit earlier this year ranked Jordan's capital as one of the most expensive in the Arab world.
Last month the government adopted a draft income tax law, yet to be approved by parliament, aimed at increasing taxes on employees by at least five per cent and on companies by between 20 and 40 per cent. And last week it announced a new price increase for electricity and fuel, before revoking it under orders from the king following protests.
James Dorsey, a Middle East analyst, warned that the prime minister's departure may not be enough to satisfy protesters.
"Jordanians may this time round not be pacified by cosmetic measures like Mulki's resignation and the temporary rescinding of price and tax increases," said Dorsey, a senior fellow at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
The IMF loan, intended to support economic and financial reforms, has the long-term objective of reducing Jordan's public debt from about 94 per cent of GDP to 77 per cent by 2021.
Mulki had formed his government just over two years ago in May 2016.

Year 6 Blog
Welcome to Year 6 Blog Spot, this week our second blog is written by Edward and Harvey in Year 6.
Blog 2 - On Friday 11th March 2016, before lunch, we visited the Life Bus. There we learnt about drugs and learning how to restrict and limit the amount we have. We all had a fun time and learnt lots.
Blog 1 -Friday4th March 2016. This week in year 6 we started Forest School again. We started to learn how to whittle a pencil out of a stick we cut.
Later on in the week we had World Book day, we dressed up as our favourite book characters.
This morning in Year 6 we did Science which involved us experimenting on how far a plastic bottle could shoot a paper rocket when pushing the air out of it. Written by Amanda and Sofia

SARASOTA, Fla. (April 21, 2016) – Months after announcing the formation of a College of Science & Mathematics, USF Sarasota-Manatee is unveiling plans for a pre-engineering program in combination with USF in Tampa.
Starting this fall, prospective students will be able to enroll in pre-engineering classes at USF Sarasota-Manatee for two years then finish their degree studies at USF in Tampa. Entitled "USF Bridge to Engineering," this new program will offer local students the option to prepare for engineering careers where they already live and work.
"This dynamic new partnership shows the power of the USF System and how collaborative efforts can positively impact our students and their future careers," said Judy Genshaft, USF System President. "We are excited to see this engineering partnership develop in support of our local STEM workforce."
This addition to USFSM's curriculum is tied to the campus' long-range strategic plan and follows the campus' announcement in November to create a College of Science & Mathematics by Fall 2016. Since expanding to a four-year institution in Fall 2013, USFSM has placed an emphasis on expanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs to meet the evolving workforce needs of its local and regional communities.
"USF Sarasota-Manatee is committed to serving our local communities and this partnership will help fill a demand for workforce-ready students with training in science, technology, engineering and math," USFSM Regional Chancellor Dr. Sandra Stone said. "We will continue to work with our local chambers, economic development corporations and businesses to ensure that we are keeping our local students in our region when they move on to their careers."
The pre-engineering partnership will offer students convenient access to USF's world-class engineering programs, keeping bright students in the Tampa Bay region to enter careers in a number of growing STEM-related fields.
"I am looking forward to welcoming the innovative and talented engineering students from USF Sarasota-Manatee into the College of Engineering," Dean Dr. Robert H. Bishop said. "This is a natural partnership designed to provide a highly trained engineering workforce to fill much-needed local engineering and technology jobs."
For the first two years, students will take requisite undergraduate courses at USFSM – including math, physics, chemistry and engineering – to align with USF's mechanical engineering degree program in Tampa. Upon completion of that coursework, students will be eligible to continue their studies at USF's College of Engineering in Tampa provided they have maintained a 2.0 overall GPA and 3.0 GPA in required calculus and physics courses.
Because the pre-engineering curriculum at USF Sarasota-Manatee will include classes tailored to engineering, along with other general studies, students accepted into the program must meet regularly with USFSM advisors for guidance in choosing requisite courses.
This new partnership represents another effort by USF Sarasota-Manatee to align its programs with community needs and broaden its academic reach through collaboration. In Fall 2014, the campus launched a biology program in partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory and it quickly became one of USFSM's fastest-growing programs.
"This exciting program will help to fill a critical workforce need in our community," Sharon Hillstrom, president and CEO of the Bradenton Area Economic Development Corporation, said. "Current and new businesses throughout the region can benefit from training and retaining potential engineering talent in our area."
All pre-engineering courses at USF Sarasota-Manatee will be identical to those offered at USF in Tampa, and completion of the courses while maintaining the required GPA will guarantee admission to USF's mechanical engineering program in Tampa.
While initially developed to align with degrees in mechanical engineering, it is hoped the Bridge to Engineering program will soon be expanded to support other engineering majors at USF in Tampa, including chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering and industrial engineering.
To learn more about Bridge to Engineering or to make an appointment with a USF Sarasota-Manatee advisor, visit www.usfsm.edu.

supervision and the degree of anonymity that the Internet creates for the person encourages people to avoid acting morally correct when using the internet. Many people have started to question whether the internet's true impact is either constructive or destructive on the physical, mental and sexual well being of today's young people. According to John A. Bargh and Katelyn Y.A. McKenna in their article entitled, "The Internet and Social Life," " … while these effects are largely dependent on the particular goals that users bring to the interaction- such as self expression, affiliation, or competition- they also interact in important ways with the unique qualities of the Internet communication situation" (573-590). Although the internet can be beneficial in allowing young people to expand their worldwide knowledge of different cultures and religions, the negative effects of the internet on adolescents are more prevalent than the positive effects; namely, the exposure to ...

The Job Training Partnership Act: Training Programs at a Glance
February 19, 1998
94-807 EPW Updated February 19, 1998 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web The Job Training Partnership Act: Training Programs at a Glance Molly Forman Ann Lordeman Education and Public Welfare Division The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), first enacted in 1982, is the country's chief training legislation. JTPA is primarily composed of programs focusing on the training needs of economically disadvantaged individuals facing serious barriers to employment. Programs are administered by the Department of Labor; most are permanently authorized. FY1998 appropriations for JTPA total approximately $5.0 billion.

In addition to these programs, Title IV of JTPA authorizes a number of other national activities including: pilot and demonstration projects, research and evaluation, maintenance of a Labor Market Information (LMI) system, and the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC). For FY1998, Congress has appropriated $91 million for these four activities, including $25 million for an out-of-school youth initiative under Title IV pilots and demonstrations. For FY1999, the President has requested $47 million for pilot and demonstration projects, research and evaluation, and NOICC. LMI funding would be consolidated with the funding for activities authorized under the Wagner-Peyser Act. Therefore, no funding for LMI is requested under JTPA. The FY1998 appropriation also included $250 million in advance funding for a new Opportunity Areas for Out-of-School Youth (OASY) initiative for FY1999, contingent upon enactment of authorizing legislation by July 1, 1998. While authorizing legislation has not yet been enacted, the President is requesting $250 million in advance funding for Program Year 2000 (July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000). The program would award grants to high poverty communities to provide training and other assistance to out-ofschool youth for the purpose of raising their employment rate. For further information on JTPA programs, see CRS Report 94-862, Job Training Partnership Act: A Compendium of Programs, by Molly R. Forman and Ann M. Lordeman.

Project2Heal's mission is to breed, nurture and train Labrador Retrievers to provide healing for those with physical and emotional challenges.
There are many exciting ways to get involved in Project2Heal's mission and vision. We need your support and volunteer time to continue having the impact we are having on the lives of veterans and special needs children.
Project2Heal's mission is to breed, nurture and train Labrador Retrievers to provide healing for those with physical and emotional challenges.
Our vision includes creating a facility on more than 50 acres that will draw people from around the country. The facility will be much more than a venue where service dogs and skilled companion dogs will be bred and trained.
Charlie Petrizzo was working a successful corporate job when he felt the need to do something more. Despite his success, Charlie felt discontented with life in the financial world. His experiences had given him a perspective on money and materialism that didn't fit his life's calling. When Charlie was a boy he almost died – twice. With the help of the family's Labrador Retriever Charlie was able to heal...
It's a bittersweet sight - a service dog assisting an injured veteran. Your heart is warm knowing the individual is able to function better with their service dog, but your heart is equally sad that life has dealt them a reason to need one. What you may not realize is just how much that service dog is assisting that veteran, how difficult was it for them to function before they received their service dog, how much their life is improved because of their service dog this veteran. Since its beginning in 2005, Project2Heal has operated with a single goal - to breed, nurture, imprint, train, and donate Labrador Retriever puppies specifically bred to be working service dogs. What you may not know is that not just any dog, even when trained as a puppy, has the right temperament and discerning intelligence to become a service dog. It's common for less than one out of two pups to pass the service dog training. Project2Heal consistently achieves a success rate above industry standard on their puppies. It's not that we're lucky. It's the exceptional breeding and early development which also helps decrease the cost to recipient organizations.
Watch the video to learn more about the importance of service dogs in the lives of veterans, and how you can be a part of our ongoing mission.

Deep Sky
Constellation: Cygnus
This is a planetary nebula, some 3,000 light-years away from us. It is one of the brightest and smallestnebulas, as it is only about 600 years old. Discovered by Edouard Stephan in 1878, in MarseilleObservatory, he used a 31 inch reflector telescope. Quite a bit bigger than our 8 incher!
As you can see the nebula is shaped like a ' prolate elllipsoidal shell' (whatever that means). It is expandingat 17 kilometers per second which indicates it is a little hot dude. The expanding halo so far has a mass about threetimes that of our sun, and about 100 times more massive then the ionized central region of our sun. There is something else pretty cool about this nebula. The white dwarf in the center of this youngsteris approx .7 times the mass of our sun, and is radating 7,700 times the Suns luminosity!! Only thing I can say is bring your best sun glasses!

Here's the latest acoustic session installment by the Airborne Toxic Event.
Week 7 - Sometime Around Midnight
Also, their official video for the above song is out, embedded below. Honestly though, I prefer the charm of the camera work in their acoustic session. It came off more powerful to me. But it's not much of a statement to run on. They can do what they want with the video. The song itself will outdo any possible visual filler they associate it with.
They're vying for the Yahoo title, "Who's Next" through a spiffy poll. Vote for them here.
I can't wait to see what's in store for these guys. It's obviously going to be a BIG year for them.
