Brainwave music - New ways to recreation and a better consciousness
Music can influence our feelings in many ways. Being roused by music, hearing music during doing housework or sports or just listen to calming down: music supports our mood properly in every way. Music exhilarates and encourages our thinking and doings. Today, the circumstances of living of many people, especially in the western civilisation, are determined by stressing, pressuring and often not freely chosen criteria. Many of them live a frantic life, the heads full of thoughts of dates and doings, which have to be fulfilled and do not let them find relaxation.
Theta Brainwave Meditation Sample
Most people probably choose quiet and harmonic sounds to calm down, clear their minds and sort out the thoughts of the day. They aim to relax mind and body, hoping to become mentally free and, as a result, be able to fight stress and tension of the body. Brainwave music is a kind of music, which may influence our attitude regarding an upcoming activity by the so-called brainwave entrainment, which is a special way to influence individual brainwaves by music.
Brainwave entrainment and binaural beats
Brainwave entrainment bases on scientific research results of the beginning of the twentieth century (see Wikipedia). H. Berger detected the Alpha brainwaves, which could be measured as electric impulses at frequencies between 12 to 30 Hz. Further research showed that the intensity of the Alpha-waves can be improved using oscillating lights. This was the first scientific proof that brainwave entrainment is possible. The scientists Dempsey and Morison demonstrated in the forties of the twentieth century that entrainment of brainwaves is possible by sensorial stimulus as well. Successful activation of brainwaves with clicker training at a click frequency of 15 Hz, as modern animal trainer like it to use with dogs and horses, was detected end of the fiftieth. This demonstrated the possibility of auditive brainwave entrainment.
Forty years after detection of the Alpha-waves the possibility of brainwave entrainment was accepted and people start to use different lights for brainwave entrainment. Good result could be demonstrated with patients who needed far less narcotics before a surgery or dental treatment. In the sixtieth several publications referred of less loss of blood, less experience of pain and a decrease of anxiety during treatments. A scientific study published by Dr. Oster in "Scientific America" in 1973 demonstrated the successful use of music for brainwave entrainment. He reported of the impact of two music tones, which he combined to a rhythmic beat, to the brainwaves of his test persons. He called these combined tones "monaural" and "binaural beats". Dr. Oster's research showed that monaural beats resulted in a very strong electric activity of the cerebral cortex, whereas binaural beats created barely any activity. The beats are described more detailed here.
Binaural Bliss - A deep meditation from alpha to theta mind state
Brainwave music with isochronic tones
Nearly ten years later the isochronic tones and their impact to the brainwave activity were detected. During the eighties and nineties of the twenties century researchers all over the world concentrated on studies with up to 5,000 patients to prove application possibilities of visual and auditive brainwave entrainment to receive relaxation, synchronisation of both brain hemispheres and to heal or lessen several diseases like headaches, ADHD, learning disorders, depression and others. The results of the scientific studies were quite promising. Therefore, many studies are ongoing especially at the psychological field and some of the modern EEGs are provided with the technical equipment for brainwave activation yet.
Summarising the above, visual and auditive driven activation of human brainwaves underwent intensive scientific research for more than eighty years. The results are astonishing and promising. Nevertheless, compared to the proven positive impact of brainwave entrainment the technique is quite unknown. This may be a direct result of the fact that brainwave entrainment is simple to perform, reasonably priced and may be performed by everybody at home. Pharmaceutical companies as the most important information platforms for medical information and supply are not interested in a technology, which provides no profit. Moreover, our modern society is more convinced of synthetical medicinal products against various diseases mainly than of the use of alternative methods, which often are cheaper as well.
Scientists and users of brainwave entrainment confirm by research and self-experience that brainwave music pushes an individual far more specific and faster to a more positive mental and emotional attitude regarding his doings than other methods. How this may work will be explained more detailed in the following chapters.

I can picture Jessa from "Girls" wearing this 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, rolling her eyes at her velour-tracksuit-wearing American cousin who doesn't get if, like, it's a skirt or a sweater or if it's all one piece. I can almost hear Jessa's breathless reply that she's missing the whole point that it's art.
That scene would be funny, but let me step back: I'm not making fun of the skirt itself. I love, love Phillip Lim—I want that whole fall collection—and I'm down with ironically grungy designer fashion, too. But at $325, it's some expensive subversiveness, a steep fee for the stunt of separates that look like one piece (kinda like that McQ by Alexander McQueen $830 Canadian tuxedo).
Which leads me to perhaps the only DIY I've never been scared to attempt, as it involves zero glue guns, craft stores or patience, and only two steps. First, buy a similar gray skirt (marled fabric, slouchy knit). Second, find a lighter long-sleeved shirt or sweater and tie it around the waist,
"Clarissa Explains it All"-style.
Click through the slideshow below for a way to do it that costs just $159, so you can get the look of the Lim skirt and still have enough money left over for something equally "I'm running late to that thing at that gallery." Like a floppy, oversized clutch, blocky wedges or something else Phillip Lim—perhaps this asymmetrical, drapey dress?

Washington Redskins tickets
Football is not only the most popular sport in America but is also quite popular all over the world. With a obsessed fan base and some of the affluent players in the universe, Football's lineage can be delineated back to the early part of the 20th century when various leagues cropped up in different parts across the country.
Today the National Football League, or NFL, is the most well-known sports leagues in the universe and, depending on where you live in the U.S., if you are a fan of football you generally have definite and unmistakable allegiance to the particular team that either plays in your city or a neighboring one.
If you live in Washington you are very likely a Redskins fan. Redskins fans are, to put it mildly, especially boastful of their team and have zero problems voicing their particular opinion about how great it is and how awesome the Washington Redskins roster is. They will say that if you're an Washington Redskins fan you bleed Redskins colors and I would not dare test this theory on any lifelong Redskins fan come game time.
There are 32 teams around the U.S. that are a part of the NFL and your alliances definitely will be formed based on either where you grew up or where you were born. This actually makes for interesting and exhilarating games because, since Americans tend to move quite frequently, you can sometimes find fans of one city's team living in a completely different city but still rooting for "their" team when they are in town to play the local team.
Some states, and indeed some cities, have more than one NFL team to represent them. usually you will find one of these teams representing the National Football Conference, or NFC, while the other represents the Atlantic Football Conference, or AFC.
If you're interested in learning more about the Washington Redskins you can check out the Washington Redskins official site and Like their Redskins Facebook page
LP Field, the Tennessee Titans stadium, seats approximately 68,798 fans, is a state-of-the-art, open-air, natural grass facility, which the Titans share with Tennessee State University. Located on 105 acres on the east bank of the Cumberland River overlooking downtown Nashville, it was built by HOK Sport Venue Event, the world's leading sports architecture firm that has built stadiums or arenas for nearly all sports at every level. Tennessee Titans cheerleaders are fan favorites at the games and Tennessee Titans tickets are required to enter the Titans stadium.
The original Oilers helmet, circa 1960, was blue with a white stripe down the middle. The oil derrick logo was also white. Although the derrick itself remained, many subtle changes were made to the helmets over the years. In 1999, the franchise unveiled a new Tennessee Titans logo as the team was renamed the Tennessee Titans.

The worlds of Rainer Werner Fassbinder are atypical reflections of reality, slightly eccentric visions in which environmental agency, in all its forms, either machinates or mirrors their inhabitants' own abnormalities. Favoring to caress rather than penetrate the internal workings of his characters, the ill-fated director seems more comfortable in exploring–and not in mere aesthetic fashion–the more afferent aspects of human ecology, projecting how his players adapt, sometimes unsuccessfully, to social stimuli from both sides of the liminal threshold. To be sure, such a reductive statement, on my part, is at once a mindfully vague and ultimately too-constraining a tenet for a man of such prolificacy (over 40 films in 15 years), but the dynamic between character and cultural imposition is something that can be detected both spatially (the intricate framing of The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant) and existentially (the willful victimization of the protagonist in Fox and His Friends) throughout his oeuvre. What's more, his films can also come in the form of latently personal, empathetic entreaties. In a Year with 13 Moons, to cite a masterful example, is at once a beautiful and tragically forthright essay on, among other things, how a life's joy is conscribed by others' cruelty. More specifically, that particular output shows Fassbinder attempting to put a logical face to the suicide of his lover, Armin Meier–as if there's catharsis to be found in his lucidly tortured dialectic.
Apropos then is how Fassbinder's made for television foray into science fiction, World on a Wire, allows the director to channel his nurture-centric worldview into a fittingly augmented take on reality. Aside from the aesthetic flourishes–which often braid gaudy futurism with the false promise of neon warmth–peripheral players feel as if they're shown through an eerie sort of sheen, a translucent aura that highlights individual difference, perhaps even in contrast to our own social homogeny. Regardless, there's a certain distance that can be felt emanating from each character. Fassbinder formally plays up such distinctions, as his camera here (aided by cinematographers Michael Ballhaus and Ulrich Prinz) is a device of balletic spatial inquest, often exploring the barriers erected between others and the self. Interpersonal dynamics are choreographed in a way that underscores artificial intervention within the modern world, for some sort of technological partition, be it a phone or reflective surface, usually acts as a screen dividing the perceptions of characters. This gesture not only speaks to the illusion of personal realities but also paints existence as something more multi-dimensional than what it's typically construed to be–in film especially.
These boundaries are obviously not of arbitrary design, and they even seem modeled in congruence to the picture's broader themes. Early in the film, Professor Henry Vollmer (Adrian Hoven)–the head of a project that's essentially a slightly less substantial replication of our own reality, which is in turn used predict our own en masse behavioral patterns–denounces another's identity by saying, "You're nothing more than an image others have made of you." Such a statement works in a bifold manner, smartly laying the foundation for the film's sci-fi implications (that reality may, in fact, be illusory) and bringing to light Fassbinder's fascination with social influence (that we have little control over our sense of self). These two issues naturally imbricate throughout the picture's 212-minute running time, but they don't coalesce wholly. Rather, the relationship between these elements is ultimately more symbiotic than synthesized, with the pair each complimenting the other but more in way of cursory strokes. Fassbinder's main focus seems to be in infusing the environments he creates with veins of these overarching ideas, making gentle allegorical and spoken allusions to the confinement inherent to certain societal structures. From early in the picture, the filmmaker makes it a point to group characters in a something of a functional sense, categorically painting scientists as stoic idealists and, conversely, capitalists as rationalists–just voracious ones. The main dramatic current, then, is in watching these two sides leverage for control–which they do, at least by way of human surrogates–a struggle of power that's relayed to the public through members of the media. Though a simplification, this societal tripod outlines our entrenched dependence on systemization. World on a Wire's overarching sci-fi premise, which will go unspoiled here, accepts this conceit, as the greatest misfortunes within the film seem to befall those guilty not of personal slight, but of challenging accepted social institutions.
Despite a rather familiar, perhaps even flimsy narrative approach, and moreover, a disinterested introspective pose–action and ambiance take precedent over the cognitive processes of characters–Fassbinder laces his film with myriad worthy philosophical inquiries, many relating to the idea of a creator, and by extension, creationism. Through World on a Wire, he presents reality as something defined by limits, limits beyond which purer, but perhaps less ornamental, truths lie. "It's obvious," begins one digital soul, "What can't exist doesn't." Fassbinder seems content in positing that worlds are bound by both social constrictions and physical laws alike, and paints these guiding forces in a similarly absolute sense. But his evocations also leave room for mysticism. Ambiguity is of constant reference throughout the work, and a somewhat affirming tenor emerges by picture's end. It appears that Fassbinder's implications not only justify, and somewhat hopefully at that, the possibility of a transcendent existence but also how expressive the miniatures we create can be. That the phrase, "A tiny universe inside our own," is used to describe the story's computer-simulated reality is innately telling. The cinema, and art in general, is our own society's micro-world, a proportional recreation of our existence that we use to learn about ourselves, our cultural conditions, and especially our lives. World on a Wire is saturated with this kind of ideological posturing. Not all of its paranoid projections form complete conceptual circuits, but such loose ends do more to evoke our collective, human uncertainty than something of shoddy craftsmanship.
All things considered, World on a Wire looks sublime on Criterion Blu-ray. A keen feel for consistency is detected throughout the work, rendering the germanely harsh 16mm visuals within a convincing tonal context. Texture, though not of particular interest to Fassbinder, is evident and allots the viewing experience a sensorial flair. But damaged prints are a reality and one of sporadic relevance here. In consolation, such instances aren't prominent and it's not long after experiencing one that we can become lost again in the picture's disorienting architecture and eerie fluorescent glow. The transfer, in its quintessence, is stable but flat, evocative but, due to practical limits, not wholly arresting.
Though not a substantial collection of supplements, this Criterion package does include enough elucidatory extras to be recommended–as if the film wasn't reason enough. A fifty-minute documentary and a thirty-minute interview sum up the digital special features, while the compulsory booklet offers an essay by Critic Ed Halter.

The isomagnetic disintegrator was a shoulder-mounted directed-energy weapon used by the Federation Starfleet, similar to an ancient Human bazooka. The weapon fired purple energy bolts.
In 2375, isomagnetic disintegrators were part of the armory of the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E. Captain Jean-Luc Picard took ten isomagnetic disintegrators on his mission to help the Ba'ku resist forced resettlement. Lieutenant Commander Worf used one of the disintegrators to great effect against a pursuing landing team sent by the Son'a. A single hit to a rock near the four soldiers caused a heavy stun effect to all of them and some minor shrapnel damage from the stone fragments of the exploded rock. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
The weapon used by Worf was not directly named in the film, but the script of Star Trek: Insurrection [1] and the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 378) identify it as one of the ten isomagnetic disintegrator mentioned by Worf earlier in the film.
According to the Decipher Starfleet Operations Manual, the isomagnetic disintegrator features a portable magnetic charge inducer which fires the beam of isomagnetic energy to disrupt the targets electromagnetic field. When used against lifeforms, the effect can be set anywhere from stun, to a temporary impairment of the central nervous system, and all the way up to the highest setting that disintegrates the target to dust.

Please help me in choosing the best Anti Virus software for my Windows 7 laptop.
It should be best in Online security, virus resistance, trojan, spywares etc.
Thats like asking what is the best car .
There are many factors here.
Are you always connected to the internet?
If so, try www.cloudantivirus.com (I work for Panda so if you ahve any issues let me know).
However if you are looking for something that doesnt require 100% uptime on your internet connection I would suggest anything from Avira to Avast.
You can also use Spybot S&D , winpatrol and various other tools.
Give us some more information on your daily habits and I can advise you further.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
I use a variety of tools. Ccleaner isn't necessarily considered an anti-malware tool, but it cleans out temp folders and other places that malicious files like to hide. I usually follow that up with Malware bytes anti-malware, in or out of safe mode depending on the state of the computer. Then I will use combofix and or spybot S&D. Granted most of this is after the initial infection is detected, as most of these products will do nothing to prevent an infection [with the exception of spybots immunize feature]. There is no one end all be all tool for preventing and detecting infections. They all have their pros and cons.
\"Those of us that had been up all night were in no mood for coffee and donuts, we wanted strong drink.\"
Windows Defender that comes with Windows 7 is OK. The malware cleaner that is downloaded with updates does a good job. OpenDNS is nice - keeps you from the bad sites automagically. But I find the best prevention of malware and viruses is a hammer.
Users can't infect their computers if they cant double click! Broken knuckles = no infections today!
OK, I'm gonna ignore my better judgment here, and try to actually answer this in an Honest Manner:
First off, let me just state here and now, that I totally agree with what has already been said about the fact that asking this question is sort of like asking what is the best Car..... I mean, you can't answer this in the usual "Use this" manner, because there are HUNDREDS of options, and each one has it's own merits and uses.
Now, with that said, let me TRY and take a stab at this:
First off, you said you wanted something that will do everything... That's....Ah who cares I'll just state some stuff and you can dig out what you want:
Now, although almost every Anti Virus Company on the Planet has moved away from the "just Anti Virus" method that they used to use before, and has started doing the whole "Internet Security Suit" that we see now, there's still an issue with this...
No ONE product is going to do everything you want perfectly. You REALLY should have multiple tools in place to do this right. Also, Norton Anti Virus, has a HUGE reputation for raping your Computer. Un-installing Norton Anti Virus, or Norton Internet Security, is sort of like trying to build a house with nothing more than a screw driver. You just aren't gonna do it.
I've read Horror stories from people where they had to actually go into the registry by hand and try to remove some of the **** left behind by Norton. Norton digs it's claws so far into your Computer that it's literally a form of Rape; You didn't ask for it, and it forced itself onto you, and when you try to forget it (Un-install it and delete it) you just can't.
So don't go with them.
McAfee is another huge company that makes multiple products to do this. Don't bother. You're going to pay through the ass for it, and, much like Norton, you're going to have system resources come to a crawl.
Your Computer will crawl like a red Neck in a free whiskey Bar.
Here is what I do, but, again, this may or may not work for you because my needs are NOT very high; I don't use Windows for very much, and when I do, I know what I'm doing:
I first off have AVG free installed. I downloaded the free version of AVG Anti Virus. I installed it, and I update it every day. That's what I use for the run of the mill crap.
I also downloaded and installed Spybot Search and Destroy. Not only does it get rid of the tracking cookies everyone sees these days, but it has an Immunization function I like. Basically, every time you update Spybot, you can close all your web browsers, and then, run Immunize. It'll first check what you have available, and then, what it can protect you against, and then, it will allow you to click on it again to actually run the Immunization function.
So, first off, I have a totally Free Anti Virus product installed. Then, I have Spybot Search and Destroy installed, and I use both. This not only keep my Browsers safe from known threats, but it also scans for crap.
I also have it set to watch Emails, even though I don't use this one much, because really, I don't trust Windows when it comes to Email, and I'm too picky about Email Clients, to the point that I rarely can find one I like.
Most of my Email, is done on Unix. Unix has WAY better Email Clients, and, of course, the chance of you seeing a virus on Unix is pretty small. You've got a better chance of seeing someone on the Jersey Shore say something intelligent.
There is NO one answer to this, but there ARE things you can do:
First off, keep your Laptop updated! Use Windows Update, and install all the Security Patches! I can't stress that enough. Also, remember that even if you have updates auto enabled, you should STILL check the Windows update tool every once in a while, because Windows Update only auto downloads and installs security patches.
The stuff that isn't security related, like bug fixes and so on, probably won't show up. The reason I'm not sure is that I have auto update turned off. It's annoying. But I run Windows update about once a week or so, and I download and install all the patches I want, and then, of course, I update AVG every day, and I update Spybot as well.
This is basically a good start, but don't pretend for even a second that you're gonna have a perfect solution in ONE program.
Good response gore but I have to ask ...
Most of my Email, is done on Unix. Unix has WAY better Email Clients, and, of course, the chance of you seeing a virus on Unix is pretty small. You've got a better chance of seeing someone on the Jersey Shore say something intelligent.
How do you even know about the shore , hiding something mate?
Edit: Your answer is not allowed to beg the question how I know ...
Thanks, I tried to make it as good as I could.
As for your question:
I'll skip over the borderline admission of you watching that **** hole TV show, and get to the point on how I know personally:
I was once forced into watching like 4 episodes of it. In a row. I contemplated jamming a spoon into my testicles, because if I'm gonna suffer like that it may as well be self inflicted. No, I didn't like it. And how these idiots make so much money being so ****ing stupid puzzles me.
haha, have a look for Comedy Central Roast with Trump. That other idiot from shore is in there, must watch!
I've seen it. I've been watching the Roasts for a LONG time, and when they had that jack ass on there I couldn't Believe it. I mean, he wasn't funny, he wasn't good, there was NO point in having him on there other than maybe having a living advertisement for Herpes or something.
With Windows 7 & 8 I use Windows Defender. I check for updates on bootup as it doesn't seem to be too clever in this department
I have auto updates enabled on all my XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 boxes, but select the download only option, as I have seen far too many screw-ups caused by the Windows update installer clashing with something else. You get a little icon in your system tray to tell you when they are ready. Also, set updates to get all Microsoft products.
I run Secunia PSI to check for security updates for both Windows and applications. This is important IMO as a lot of exploits are via the application interface rather than the OS.
I run File Hippo Updater to check for the latest versions of applications. Secunia only reports security patches or updates, and end-of-life products.
I shall have to check for it on another machine, but I do have a link to a site with the uninstallers for several security suites......that is, programs that tidy up the loose ends after you have run the application's uninstaller. You should be able to find the tools on the vendor's site as well.
Another product I forgot to mention is Belarc Advisor. Run it and scroll down to the bottom where it lists your Windows patches. If you see one with a red "X" next to it, it means that it didn't install properly, so probably won't work and is a definite candidate for systems insecurity. Microsoft don't detect all installation failures, especially where they have partially installed.

Almost every English daily in Pakistan has carried some coverage of Benazir Bhutto's posthumously published book in the UK. The Daily Times on February 05, 2008, in its editorial, wrote: 'A London newspaper has published excerpts from Ms Benazir Bhutto's posthumous book "Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy and the West" in which she has revealed that Al Qaeda agents and some people from the Musharraf establishment were involved in the plot to kill her'. In Dawn's column of February 04, 2008, titled "Benazir's 'last testament' gives hint about plot to kill her", Benazir was also quoted, stating: "When I returned, I did not know whether I would live or die. I knew that the same elements of Pakistani society that had colluded to destroy my father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and end democracy in Pakistan in 1977 were now arrayed against me for the same purpose exactly 30 years later."
It is instructive to quote Brig. Tirmazi, the Director of ISI at the time of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, from his 1995 memoirs 'Profiles of Intelligence', where the erstwhile spymaster asserts the following:
The US Plays its Role. According to some candid intelligence estimates, the US was fully involved in exploiting the situation by guiding and aiding the opposition political parties and ultimately getting him removed and hanged. (page 33)
It is generally believed that the US wanted ZAB to be removed from the political scene of Pakistan mainly on two counts. First, for the nuclear policy that he framed and tried to relentlessly pursue and secondly, for apprehensions that ZAB's was influencing the minds and policies of a number of Islamic and Third World countries. He posed a serious challenge to the US interests in the region. 'He had to be eliminated'.
On August 9, 1976, American Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger had a talk with ZAB, in Lahore, to dissuade him from acquiring Nuclear Reprocessing Plant from France for which the deal had already been finalized after Pakistan had agreed to all the safeguard requirements laid down by both France and the International Atomic Energy Agency. In their talks, Dr. Kissinger found ZAB inflexible and determined to go ahead with the acquisition of the Reprocessing Plant and make Pakistan a nuclear power. Incensed, he warned ZAB, "We will make a horrible example of you," adding menacingly, "When the railroad is coming, you get out of the way." But ZAB stood his ground. The US virtually mowed down ZAB. The political and economic crisis situation that started to develop during 1976-77 was fully exploited by the power broker USA. This is how they did it:-
- The Americans had successfully cultivated a number of well-placed bureaucrats, PPP stalwarts and ministers who wittingly or inadvertently served as the US agents of influence. American diplomats and CIA operators not only got most of the 'inside' information from these 'gentlemen' but also utilized their good offices to 'convey' whatever they wanted to feed or plant.
- During 1976-77 ZAB, probably working on the structured advice of these agents, continued to slip deeper and deeper into the political quagmire. They somehow convinced him that PPP must win and hold two third majority in the elections. When the agitation was moving from bad to worse, some of these men wanted weapons and chalked out plans to defeat MNA movement by force. ZAB also seriously started to consider this option.
- Some officers from USMAAG had also meaningful ingresses in the General Headquarters and not only gathered the thinking in the Services Headquarters but would also drop a 'suggestion' here and there.
- Some of the US diplomats had established direct contacts with a number of PNA leaders whom they continued to aid, support and give day-to-day line of action.
- As soon as the PNA movement gathered momentum, a large number of foreigners, particularly Americans descended on Pakistan in the garb of freelance journalists, reporters, observers, and photographers to cover the events. These men and women loaded with cameras, tape recorders and money seemed to have done their home-work well and were also being fed locally by invisible sources. They all seemed to know the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of every one who was any one in politics. It would be interesting to note that, (thanks to our days of slavery, we still have not overcome the 'white skin' phobia) most of our politicians were not only always available to these manipulators but would actually feel elated on getting a call from them and would pour out whatever they had in their minds. Every day, we in the ISI received a flood of telegrams that these journalists would send home and it was surprising to know who all they were speaking to and what information and political analysis they received.
- All that was being sent out by these so-called foreign journalists, who were actually CIA operators, was being beamed back on Pakistan as psychological warfare and propaganda aimed at building up a scenario of ZAB's fall.
- A number of diplomats were not only actively involved but also directed the operations against ZAB. Jan M. Gibney, Political Officer, US Consulate General, Lahore, duly assisted by a couple of Pakistanis, was extremely active and would frequently visit a number of politicians. It was Gibney who had telephoned and conveyed to Howard B. Schaffer, Chief of Political Affairs, US Embassy, Islamabad, that notorious sentence, "The party is over. Merchandise has gone." ZAB had retorted by saying, "Party is not yet over. Elephant has long ears......"
- We had reports from Karachi that exchange rate of US Dollar in the open market had considerably dropped. The market was flooded with US Dollar currency notes and too many people were trying to exchange US Dollars for Pak Rupees. Who unloaded all those US currency notes in the market, is a question not difficult to answer.
- PL-480 funds had also been released by the US. Over-night some JI workers were seen with pockets full of money and spending lavishly. ...
... The US not only aided but also directed most of the PNA activities. On July 4, 1977, PNA negotiators Mufti Mahmood, Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan and Professor Gafoor had agreed on a joint formula with the PPP but suddenly Air Marshal (retired) Asghar Khan, Pir of Pigaro, Begum Nasim Wali Khan, Maulana Noorani and some other of their ilk declared that they did not endorse the agreement reached between the parties. On whose behalf these leaders sabotaged the reconciliation proceedings, is any body's guess.
Martial Law. On the night of July 4/5, 1977 General Zia-ul-Haq declared Martial Law. ...
The US Issues Black Warrant. When ZAB's trial for his alleged involvement in the murder of Nawab Muhammad Ahmad Khan was being heard in the Supreme Court, Islamabad, ... a telegraphic message from Washington [was received]. When decoded, it contained directions for the local US offices to ensure that ZAB was hanged. It also laid down instructions for arranging retirement and shifting of some of the general officers. (pages 33-38)
The top spymaster of Pakistan further elaborated on the innate nature of the puppetmasters:
Under the pretext of securing her own strategic interests, the United States of America tries to manipulate and dabble in the affairs of other nations. ...
Essentially, the US policy configurations vis-a-vis Pakistan have been that of a "master" and not of a "friend". Oscillating between persuasion and coercion, the US tends to employ all available means to keep Pakistan under watch, pressure and diplomatic subjugation. At times, it has used the 'carrot and stick' of aid, and at others, lashed out threats of economic strangulation or declaring Pakistan a terrorist state.
Pakistan's geostrategic position, nuclear capability, agricultural and technological potential, as well as the Islamic ideological base are matters of vital concern to US policy makers. The US will not and cannot allow Pakistan to govern her own affairs. While Pakistan was still in its infancy, the American hawks pounced upon and hijacked our national interests by building up an exaggerated threat of the former Soviet Union's expansionist designs against Pakistan and their so called 'mad' drive to the warm waters. ...
In addition to the administrative, economic and political means, the US has always employed her secret terrorist arm, the CIA, in foreign lands. The CIA is known for adopting various covert and overt means to undermine the integrity of other countries for achieving their own objectives and furthering their 'nefarious' designs. It is equipped with colossal material resources and its men are canny and ruthless in executing their assignments. Their methods in madness include:
a) Espionage and penetration in all areas of interest like defence, foreign affairs, science/technology, developmental programmes, economy, education, and politics. b) Propaganda, disinformation campaigns, subversion, terrorism, psy warfare, assassinations, blackmail, bribes, coercion and intimidation. ...
j) Install CIA agents as presidents, prime ministers, ministers, generals and senior advisors, etc." (pages 20 – 22)
And the most telling observation by Brig Tirmazi – which may perhaps also shed immediate investigative light on who killed Benazir Bhutto until it is eventually rerun as self-evident on the history channels in 20-50 years – is this straightforward question that he had the chutzpah to ask, ex post facto:
... It would be fair to ask what we [the ISI] did to counter the US machinations? Well we did not, and could not do any thing beyond reporting to the highest authority in the country. There are reasons for our inaction:
One, neither the ISI nor the IB is designed or equipped to counter the machinations of a Super Power.
Two, an important factor is our own price. A lot has been said and written by some of our American friends about the price of a Pakistani. Dr. Andrew V. Corry, US Counsel General at Lahore, once said, "Price of a Pakistani oscillates between a free trip to the US and a bottle of whisky." He may not be too far wrong. We did observe some highly placed Pakistanis selling their conscience, prestige, dignity and self-respect for a small price. (page 45)
And to carry the chutzpah to its logical conclusion, the former leader of the ISI asks the exact same question – ever so blithely (after having willingly served the old 'masters') – that most plebeians in this 'wretched' nation are still asking twelve years later:
"The nation has the right to know and ask the leaders how far has the situation changed and have we developed enough muscles and guts to get rid of the old masters and their agents? That is the question." (page 23)
So the erstwhile daughter of the East, Benazir Bhutto, was indeed quite clairvoyant in asserting that the same killers will be after her – except that she (perhaps deliberately) misidentified the culprits, in both cases – for this spy confessional-memoir was written during her own time as Prime Minister, and could not have escaped her notice or the approval of the upper echelons of ISI and her own government before publication.
And her un-clever misidentification, not surprisingly, clearly only benefits the real culprits themselves – crafted as she was by the Council on Foreign Relations. Witness this exchange on August 15, 2007, in New York, where she was introduced by CFR's President, Richard Haass, with a very revealing welcoming statement: "It is, for me, a personal pleasure to welcome back to the Council on Foreign Relations an old friend of mine and someone who is familiar to many of you in this room and knows well this organization, the former prime minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto."
It is here that Benazir Bhutto had asserted that she will tow the American line: "I seek to lead a democratic Pakistan which is free from the yoke of military dictatorship and that will cease to be a haven, the very petri dish of international terrorism" – thinking that that's what they wanted to hear. In her eagerness to come to power – or perhaps deliberately setup over the past three years to entice her to return to Pakistan – not realizing that it was to create a 'strategy of tension' in Pakistan as a pawn-move on the 'Grand Chessboard'.
It is unsurprising that the Pakistani newspapers continue to un-forensically repeat the same mantras as did the victim, Benazir Bhutto, and as is publicly the wont among the Pakistani ruling establishment. Perhaps deceit, forgetfulness, and co-optation today are deemed the better part of valor. Unless one has the unflinching courage to practice the late Charles de Gaulle's solution of "tous azimuths" ( 'vigilant in all directions – "360 degrees"' ), that includes of friends and foes alike, this nation is at the end of its tethers. See the upcoming detailed deconstruction by Project Humanbeingsfirst (http://humanbeingsfirst.org) on who killed Benazir Bhutto and how to possibly arrest the 'Descent into Oblivion'.

Blackwater involved in Bhutto and Hariri hits: former Pakistani army chief
Tehran Times Political Desk
TEHRAN - Pakistan's former chief of army staff, General Mirza Aslam Beg (ret.), has said the U.S. private security company Blackwater was directly involved in the assassinations of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto and former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.
Blackwater later changed its name and is now known as Xe.
General Beg recently told the Saudi Arabian daily Al Watan that former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf had given Blackwater the green light to carry out terrorist operations in the cities of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, and Quetta.
General Beg, who was chief of army staff during Benazir Bhutto's first administration, said U.S. officials always kept the presence of Blackwater in Pakistan secret because they were afraid of possible attacks on the U.S. Embassy and its consulates in Pakistan.
During an interview with a Pakistani TV network last Sunday, Beg claimed that the United States killed Benazir Bhutto.
Beg stated that the former Pakistani prime minister was killed in an international conspiracy because she had decided to back out of the deal through which she had returned to the country after nine years in exile.
Beg also said he believes that the former director general of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence was not an accomplice in the conspiracy against Benazir Bhutto, although she did not trust him.
The retired Pakistani general also stated that Benazir Bhutto was a sharp politician but was not as prudent as her father.
On September 2, the U.S. ambassador to Islamabad, Anne W. Patterson, intervened with one of the largest newspaper groups in Pakistan, The News International, to force it to block a decade-old weekly column by Dr. Shireen Mazari scheduled for publication on September 3 in which Mazari, the former director of the Islamabad Institute of Strategic Studies, broke the story of Blackwater/Xe's presence in Pakistan.
The management of The News International dismissed one of the country's most prominent academics and journalists due to U.S. pressure. She joined the more independent daily The Nation last week as an editor.
On September 9, in her first column in The Nation, Dr. Mazari wrote:
"Now, even if one were to ignore the massive purchases of land by the U.S., the questionable manner in which the expansion of the U.S. Embassy is taking place and the threatening covert activities of the U.S. and its 'partner in crime' Blackwater; the unregistered comings and goings of U.S. personnel on chartered flights; we would still find it difficult to see the whole aid disbursement issue as anything other than a sign of U.S. gradual occupation. It is no wonder we have the term Af-Pak: Afghanistan they control through direct occupation loosely premised on a UN resolution; Pakistan they are occupying as a result of willingly ceded sovereignty by the past and present leadership."
According to Al Watan, Washington even used Blackwater forces to protect its consulate in the city of Peshawar.
In addition, U.S. journalist Seymour Hersh has accused former U.S vice president Dick Cheney of being involved in the Hariri assassination.
He said Cheney was in charge of a secret team that was tasked with assassinating prominent political figures.
After the assassination of Rafik Hariri in 2005, the U.S. and a number of other countries pointed the finger at Syria, although conclusive evidence has never been presented proving Syrian involvement in the murder.
Please note the following blatant obviousness from Project Humanbeingsfirst before one is overly impressed by the Pakistani General belatedly breaking his silence only when fait accompli has irreversibly been seeded – and do watch for more 'cats performing hajj after having eaten 900 mice':

CTO's man at VMware whistles an 'appy tune
Paul Strong says 'containerising' applications is the next big thing
VMware's chief technology officer, global field, Paul Strong, says the company's next frontier is simplifying management of applications.
Strong came to VMware three years after stints at eBay and Sun.
Speaking to The Reg in Sydney today, Strong said his role means ensuring innovation doesn't happen in an "ivory tower" but instead comes from close engagement with VMware's business units. There's also a focus on getting the last remaining un-virtualised apps into a virtual machine, work Strong said involves talking to industries like banking that worry virtualised apps aren't applicable to environments that demand low latency.
"It's like tempering steel," he said. "The more you bash it, the stronger it gets."
Strong's passion looks to be making applications more manageable.
"The reason I joined VMware is because eBay [for me was a petri dish for understanding where cloud was going, understanding very large applications at scale, how they are managed and what they look like. Coming to VMware it was a case of this looks like the perfect opportunity place for generalising it."
Strong likes using the analogy of a shipping container: a neat, standardised, portable unit that's easy to move and that the whole world understands how to move, often with the assistance of automation. That's in contrast to loose freight, which requires hordes of manual labourers. Strong thinks IT departments already have plenty of those workers, and mentioned analysis suggesting 85 per cent of IT budgets go on "people and software".
"That is driven not by the complexity of infrastructure but by the complexity of applications," he said. "Every app has to be purchased or built, architected, integrated and tested again and again and again, installed, managed, monitored and archived by people with the skills to do it. You might also have a tools ecosystem that goes with it."
Big organisations, he said, have between three and five thousand such apps, and that is the true source of complexity in IT shops.
If software can be containerised, he suggested, software-related costs fall because one set of IT chores gets easier, while organisations that do so win an efficiency dividend that translates into greater ability to innovate. "The Googles and Amazons have a tiny number of patterns and you can automate like crazy."
"There is great value in simplification and removal of diversity. We've seen that on the server space and that has really enabled our growth."
"Five years ago we cared about how many bus nexuses you hopped across in NUMA. Now software does that all for you. In five years time you'll cable your data centre once and stop caring. We have to get our customers there so they can become agile and start innovating."
"My passion is how to take that and execute that, and move on that ambition. The set of things we have to do there inside VMware to bring all our assets to do that, in a consistent and secure way, how we then go to market, and then how to we enable our customers to take maximum advantage."
Despite OpenStack last week asserting its mild surprise at its users using the stack for private clouds more than public or hybrid clouds, Strong doesn't see the open source effort as a threat because its not yet managing applications. "OpenStack maps VMs onto hypervisor instances, very, very basically" he said. "Our job is application lifecycle management across multiple hypervisors and multiple clouds, and to make sure that our underlying infrastructure, like vSphere, is the preferred virtualisation layer for any management application that sits on top."
The concept of software-defined data centres, Strong said, therefore needs to be understood in the context of application management, not just advanced infrastructure management.
How will VMware deliver on this vision? Strong was cagey, but said customers can expect the "next iteration" of key VMware products "this year". ®

paulbeolou posted a topic in k-popHello ! I read on Twitter that Nana and Lizzy from After School admitted they watch porn together, in an interview. It's a GIF with English subtitles so I don't know if it's real or if it's just someone who added the subs, only to have fun. Did someone knows if it's real ? Does Nana and Lizzy watch porn ? I would like to see the real video, if it's possible. And it's really "porn" or just "sexy videos" ? Nana seems very sweet and pure, so I was very amazed when I saw this. It's because of that I was wondering... There is the link of the GIF : https://twitter.com/leesiyeonvevo/status/706253723224432644 I found another GIF, where Lizzy said they are both perverts. It's real too ? Someone have the real video, please ? There is the link of the GIF : https://twitter.com/leesiyeonvevo/status/706254964939685892 I searched on internet but I couldn't find anything, so I have to ask you. Thank you very much for your answers !!

The MySQL client library can perform an automatic reconnection to the server if it finds that the connection is down when you attempt to send a statement to the server to be executed. If auto-reconnect is enabled, the library tries once to reconnect to the server and send the statement again.
If it is important for your application to know that the
connection has been dropped (so that it can exit or take action to
adjust for the loss of state information), be sure that
auto-reconnect is disabled. To ensure this, call
mysql_options() with the
MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option:
my_bool reconnect = 0; mysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &reconnect);
Auto-reconnect was enabled by default until MySQL 5.0.3, and
disabled by default thereafter. The
MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option is available as of
MySQL 5.0.13.
If the connection has gone down, the effect of
mysql_ping() depends on the
auto-reconnect state. If auto-reconnect is enabled,
mysql_ping() performs a reconnect.
Otherwise, it returns an error.
Some client programs might provide the capability of controlling
automatic reconnection. For example, mysql
reconnects by default, but the
option can be used to suppress this behavior.
If an automatic reconnection does occur (for example, as a result
of calling
mysql_ping()), there is
no explicit indication of it. To check for reconnection, call
mysql_thread_id() to get the
original connection identifier before calling
mysql_ping(), then call
mysql_thread_id() again to see
whether the identifier changed.
Automatic reconnection can be convenient because you need not implement your own reconnect code, but if a reconnection does occur, several aspects of the connection state are reset on the server side and your application will not be notified.
The connection-related state is affected as follows:
Any active transactions are rolled back and autocommit mode is reset.
All table locks are released.
TEMPORARY tables are closed (and
Session system variables are reinitialized to the values of
the corresponding global system variables, including system
variables that are set implicitly by statements such as
User variable settings are lost.
Prepared statements are released.
HANDLER variables are closed.
The value of
is reset to 0.
Locks acquired with
are released.
If the connection drops, it is possible that the session
associated with the connection on the server side will still be
running if the server has not yet detected that the client is no
longer connected. In this case, any locks held by the original
connection still belong to that session, so you may want to kill
it by calling

The Storm Water Department has identified 15 sub-watersheds with in the city limits: Muddy Creek, Lower South Fork of Muddy Creek, Upper Mill Creek, Middle Mill Creek, Lower Mill Creek, Fiddlers Creek, Brushy Fork Creek, Upper Salem Creek, Middle Salem Creek, Lower Salem Creek, Little Creek, Peters Creek, Upper Silas Creek, Lower Silas Creek, and Salem Lake.
Dry Weather
Conducted quarterly, 24-hour composite samples are taken every 15 minutes by automated samplers, which are deployed at 15 sites. All pollutant parameters are composite (except fecal coliform - grab) and sent to an outside, state-certified laboratory for analyses. A current meter is utilized to determine flow discharge of the stream. Pollutant concentrations and flow discharges are used to calculate the pollutant loading of the waterway. Prior to any dry-weather sampling event, there must be 72 hours without rainfall.
Wet Weather
Conducted annually, automated, sequential samplers are placed at each of the 15 sites during a representative storm event. Each sampler is programmed to capture "the first flush" in the first 30 minutes of rainfall (triggered to start by the stream level of a rain gauge), then muticompositing each hour of the storm event, up to six hours. During the storm event, the sampler records the stream level and time is plotted into a storm hydrograph, which computes total, first flush and hourly flow discharge. Simple math is used to calculate the percentage of hourly versus the total discharge. For the hour in question, Stormwater personnel can calculate and mix a flow-weighted composite sample for the storm event. All pollutant parameters are composite (except fecal coliform and oil & grease - grabs) and sent to an outside, state-certified laboratory for analyses. Pollutant concentrations and flow discharges are used to calculate the pollutant loading of the waterway. Prior to any wet-weather sampling event, there must be 72 hours of dry weather.
Water Quality Index
Conducted monthly, grab samples are obtained for certain pollutant parameters at 46 sites. Good water quality is crucial for aquatic life abundance, as well as human health. The water quality parameters listed below are taken with instantaneous, multi-parameter meters which indicate the possible presence of sediment transport, industrial wastewater, or nonpoint source discharges in our waterways.
Water quality is monitored for pH, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, conductivity, ammonia, nitrates, fecal coliform, total phosphates, temperature, BOD and turbidity.
Sampling Parameters
Fecal coliform, biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, turbidity, cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, total and dissolved copper, total and dissolved zinc, total and dissolved phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrites, nitrates and chlorides.
Staff tracks and eliminates old sewer connections, floor drains and other prohibited connections. This program identifies permitted and acceptable discharges and investigates complaints about unusual discharges.
Staff provides guidance to commercial and industrial sites in reducing the amount of pollution which runs off their property to storm drains that flows directly to streams without treatment. Staff utilizes pollution prevention audits, site specific monitoring, and distribution of information for waste reduction.

Mechanical nano-resonators at ultra-high frequency and their potential applications

Ultrafast nanomechanical resonators have attracted significant attention in research, and have promised a wide range of future applications. Choosing appropriate materials, optimizing fabrication processes, applying ultra-sensitive ultra-high-frequency readout techniques and adapting such devices to a variety of applications are all important subjects to address. This article reviews the current status of this field, and discusses future development directions.
Nearly half a century has elapsed since the first envisaging of the concept of nanotechnology by Richard Feynman, at his lecture at a meeting of the American Physical Society in 1959.1,2 Generations of scientists and engineers have subsequently been inspired by the study of tiny machines at the nanometre scale.3 Extensive research results have accumulated from long-lasting commitments, so as to take us closer to the ability to mass-produce machines on an atomic scale.
The promise of novel functionalities has been a critical aspect of nanoscience and nanoengineering.3 This is especially true with small mechanical systems. When we look at inventions from ancient times, from the abacus to clocks, it makes sense that the first computing machines ever built were indeed mechanical,4 in contrast to current electronic dominance in the modern computing world. With the emergence of ultrafast micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/ NEMS), one speculates whether mechanical computing might return in a brand new perspective, drawing deeper understanding of physical principles and creating novel technology.5 A very significant direction of development is the fabrication and testing of ultrafast nanomechanical resonator devices, the topic of this article.
Materials and fabrication
For the doubly clamped beam geometry of resonator construction, the fundamental mode resonance frequency of the beam can be estimated by
where E is Young's modulus of the material, ρ is the mass density, t is the thickness of the beam along the direction of motion, and l is the length of the beam. Materials with a higher Young's modulus and lower mass density are more desirable for fabrication of ultra-high-frequency nanomechanical resonator devices. Table 1 lists these important properties for a few commonly used NEMS materials, including silicon,6,7 the traditional material for the semiconductor industry, and a few other examples of relatively newer materials under current investigation.811
Another important parameter characterizing resonator performance is its spring constant, which can be calculated by
where m is the effective mass of the resonator.
From Equation (1), we can see that ultra-high-frequency devices can be achieved by either making them short and wide, or by reducing the size of the mechanical device by the same linear ratios in all three dimensions. The latter approach is considered more desirable for many purposes, since the spring constant of the resonator device, calculated by Equation (2), will be lower for beams with a larger aspect ratio. A lower spring constant provides better responsivity, namely, a larger induced displacement for a specific applied force.
While the detailed theoretical studies and modelling of nano-resonators is beyond the scope of this brief review, these are absolutely critical for the development of nanodevices, and for the advancement of nanotechnology, in general.
NEMS devices can be made by both top-down methods through electron-beam lithography, or bottom-up strategies starting from self-assembled nanostructures, and then linking them with the outside world. Typical process flows for both schemes are illustrated in Fig. 1.
Top-down methods start from a thin-film device-layer on top of a substrate, with a sacrificial layer between. Device patterns are defined by nanolithography techniques, usually a combination of photolithography and electron beam lithography. The pattern is then transferred to a metallic etch mask. The device-layer surface that is not covered by the mask will be etched away anisotropically, followed by a controlled isotropic etch of the sacrificial layer, to suspend the beam over the substrate. The beam is clamped at both ends by larger support structures.
Alternatively, bottom-up nanolithography starts from a nanowire, nanotube, or a single molecule, located on top of a sacrificial layer above the substrate. Electrodes, which also act as support pads for a suspended mechanical beam, are created by electron beam lithography. A timed isotropic etch of the sacrificial layer then suspends the nanowire beam.
Both methods are schematically illustrated in Fig. 1. For specific experiments, there could be variations of process details. These are only general outlines.
Ultra-high-frequency readout
In order to have an ultra-high-frequency nanomechanical resonator, we not only have to construct the device, but we also have to devise sensitive measurement strategies to communicate with these tiny entities. To date, two transduction methods have been demonstrated to be quite successful for the purpose of communicating with ultra-high-frequency NEMS devices. Both methods require the mechanical beam to be electrically conductive. A thin metal layer is deposited on top of the mechanical structure, to provide electrical conductivity in cases where the material is an insulator, or is highly resistive.
Magnetomotive transduction can be used to excite the nanostructure into resonance for testing.6,8,1215 The sample is loaded into a vacuum, and mounted so that the surface normal is aligned with the direction of the magnetic field. An RF current through the conducting layer of the beam generates an RF force to flex the beam. The frequency of the RF drive is swept. Resonant motion is induced when the driving frequency matches the in-plane fundamental resonance mode frequency of the beam. Such motion cuts the magnetic field lines, and generates an EMF voltage peak at the mechanical resonance frequency. This EMF is amplified and measured by a network analyser.
Another successful method for ultra-high-frequency nanomechanical detection is optical,7 through detection of variations in scattered light arising from the motion of the nanomechanical structure. In this case, the motion is excited capacitively.
Both methods are currently under laboratory development. Important achievements so far are depicted in Fig. 2. Integrated versions of these concepts, combining mechanical, electronic, magnetic and optical devices onto the same chip, are under consideration. This is an important step towards practical applications.
Applications of UHF NEMS
NEMS offer promise for a variety of novel applications. We list a few of the important areas where their potential lies, without giving details.
Sensitive mechanical charge detectors have recently been demonstrated by Cleland and Roukes.13 Mechanical devices for high-frequency signal processing are providing new, simplified configurations for communications systems.16 Ultrasensitive nanomechanical mass detection has been demonstrated by several prominent research groups.1719 The prospects of biological imaging, based upon single-spin magnetic resonance spectroscopy, now appears feasible via mechanical detectors.20 Entirely new approaches to quantum measurement should be achievable with high-frequency nanomechanical systems, cooled to low temperatures. 2124
Future directions
It is still an open project to make and test mechanical resonators in the deep-nano regime with a typical size of a few nanometres. These can be fabricated by either top-down electron-beam lithography with state-of-the-art facilities, or bottom-up schemes, such as nano-imprinting25 and self-assembling synthesis.2628 At such dimensional scale, it should be possible to make microwave mechanical resonators with lower spring constants, thus achieving greater responsivity. Such characteristics would make a broad range of applications more plausible. Important examples of related application fields include (but are not limited to) ultrasensitive mass detection, bioNEMS sensing, magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) and spintronics.5
At even higher frequency, and on an even smaller scale, mechanical resonators may cross the boundary between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.5 Development will require both scientific advancement and strong engineering support.
For an emerging field with a short history of less than fifty years, it has been a process of seeing predictions becoming reality. It has also been a process of evolving from fundamental science into the realm of practical implementation. The prospects of such potential applications have been the driving force for nanotechnology to move out of the research labs within just a few elite research institutions, and into a worldwide endeavour.

I have upgraded to UP5 sooner in the week and I have installed Cinnamon 1.6 and Nemo. I have deleted Nautilus.
Everything is working fine excepted that I can't recover anymore from the sleep mode.
I was using it everyday with Cinnamon 1.4 and UP4. Now when I want to wake up my laptop, the screen stays black but I can see it's a little lighter, so I know the power is on.
I had to kill the power to restart. Nor the mouse or the keyboard are responding anymore. I tried ctrl + alt + backspace, but the screen stays in the same state.
I tried booting with the old kernel but sleep mode is not working either. Hibernate is working well.
So it can be related to UP5 (and Nividia drivers for exemple), or to Cinnamon 1.6 or Nemo.
I would like to know if other peoples have the same behavior as my laptop.

By the way, even if it's not related directly I have a message for Clem and all the Cinnamon team :
Please consider adding the opportunity to change the behavior of the power button in Cinnamon. I would like it to be shutdown and not sleep. In gnome 2 I had the opportunity to do that, but I don't see it in Cinnamon.

Nymphomaniac Vol. II: Pitch-dark existentialist fairy tale zigs feminist zag
Embattled Dutch auteur Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy"—Antichrist, Melancholia and now Nymphomaniac—culminates in a revelatory and arguably feminist existentialist fairy tale. Admittedly, it's more Grimms' than Aesop.
Antichrist is a magical realist horror show, and Melancholia is a Wagnerian sci-fi epic. Triptych finale Nymphomaniac is an existentialist torture "porn" double-feature. Released in two parts, Vol. I left the audience at terror-struck anticlimax as protagonist Joe fails to achieve orgasm. The psychodrama of Vol. II dances widdershins on a dark, twisty path paved by the sexploitation genre. Where Antichrist examined medieval witchcraft and the history of gynocide and Melancholia expertly manipulated ownership of knowledge and the imagination of disaster, Nymphomaniac explores patriarchy and stigmatized female desire.
With minimal introductory pomp, a soft-focus lens captures young Joe (Stacy Martin) mourning carnal summit. Again the viewer is voyeur to asexual nerd Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) and present-day Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and their sex-and-fly-fishing tête-à-tête. Joe recalls the inception of her lust—it involves levitation, spontaneous orgasm and the Whore of Babylon. Seligman's weakest digression ever, toward Jesus' transfiguration on the mount, Zeno's paradox of Achilles, and the divergence of essential doctrine of Eastern and Western Church doctrine inspires Chapter One's title.
"The Eastern Church and The Western Church (The Silent Duck)" explores the incongruity of monogamy with Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf)—and attendant pregnancy, domesticity and complex maternal emotions—with Joe's longing to be overfull. Contentment is transmuted, and Jerôme's reluctant consent to an open marriage sets the stage for unfamiliar and increasingly masochistic sex. Highlights include Joe's matchless revamp of fuck-me clothes, an entirely nonverbal encounter with two African fellows, and engaging the services of professional dom K (Jamie Bell). In escalating sessions with sadistic K, Joe's submissive alter ego "Fido" prizes dogged pursuit of the little death above all else. A campy demo of "the silent duck" segues into a hurled teacup, betraying sentimental anger, and the next passage is named for spectacular reflection.
"The Mirror" observes Joe compulsively, injuriously masturbating in an office bathroom and communicating (mostly with herself) in employer-mandated sex addict meetings. She earnestly tries to gain some control over her addiction and consequent self-mutilation. Working the steps means reducing exposure and removing incentive. After witnessing Joe's version of sex-proofing an apartment, you'll never see your bathroom sink or mirrors in quite the same way again. Joe's kilometer-wide stubborn streak rears up just shy of a month of sobriety. She rebels against the twelve-steppers, proclaiming her refusal to erase her own obscenity so the bourgeoisie can feel safe. A tea stain and irreverent references to the literature of Ian Fleming provide the cut-up lead-in to resolution in "The Gun."
The workaday world isn't for her, and she meets L (Willem Dafoe), who initiates her into the unscrupulous world of "debt collection." Her general facility with and knowledge of men and their desires and fears proves useful in the world of heavy handed persuasion to pay. L pragmatically inspires Joe to mentor an at-risk 15-year-old P (Mia Goth). In the world of extortion, parenting happens on a whole 'nother level. A mentee acts as a right hand, and as amoral L half-sneers, some might even do time for their surrogate advocate. Joe attends P's basketball games for three years and eventually wins her loyalty at the age of maturity.
Gainsbourg illuminates the role of outsider, a wholly sexual woman whose very existence stands in opposition to the patriarchy of both the Church and secular culture. Seligman delivers a fervent feminist polemic on how Joe's behavior would be perceived entirely differently were she a man: Vol. I's train games with BFF B (Sophie Kennedy Clark) and home invasion by a bitterly jealous spouse (Uma Thurman) would have fallen flat if Joe's chromosomal makeup offered so-called "reason" for aggression and infidelity.
Unabashedly demanding her sexual rights as a woman, Joe serves as a lightning rod for wounded souls in a largely puritanical world. Given his self-professed asexual nature and thus "unique" insight into Joe's story, Seligman declares his superior fitness to judge her goodness. But this is von Trier land. Yet another chance encounter with Jerome tells of the violent prelude to Seligman discovering her in the alley. The resounding, pitch-black ending renders a film marketed as a (black-and-) blue movie into a horse of a different color; and in doing so, it unmasks all its characters' true natures and the commonplace tedium of evil.
Alibi Midnight Movie Madness Presents: Rotgut
When Alibi film editor Devin D. O'Leary (yup, that's me) isn't busy writing about movies or talking about movies on "KASA-2 Style" or hosting Midnight Movies at the Guild Cinema, he occasionally finds time to actually make them. Recently he (that is to say "I") wrote and produced the horror-comedy Rotgut. Shot right here in Albuquerque with a local cast and crew, the film is finally getting its long-awaited World Premiere. The low-budget gala event will take place this Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, at the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) starting at 10:30pm. Tickets are $8 general admission and $6 students. The cast and crew will be there to participate in a post-film Q&A/
This Week at Guild Cinema
We screwed up! We didn't get Guild Cinema's regular ad in this week's print edition of Weekly Alibi. Here, now, is the ad that should have run, in all its glory. We're sorry, movie fans!
Alibi Midnight Movie Madness: Cheap Thrills
This weekend's edition of Alibi Midnight Movie Madness features the sick and twisted black comedy Cheap Thrills. Two broke pals (Pat Healey, Ethan Embry) end up at a strip club drinking their troubles away. Things get weird, though, when a crazy millionaire (comedian David Koechner) and his trophy wife (Sarah Paxton from The Innkeepers) show up and propose a little game—an increasingly dangerous series of dares for an escalating amount of money. And it's not long before things get downright bloody. It goes down at Guild Cinema on Friday and Saturday night, starting at 10:45pm. As always, tickets are $8 general admission and $6 students.
Alibi Midnight Movie Madness Presents: Short Peace
Who out there is in the mood for a little Japanese anime? Alibi Midnight Movie Madness is back at Guild Cinema this weekend with the newest film from Master Animator Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Steamboy). Short Peace is an anthology featuring four short fantasy/sci-fi films, all centered on the past, present and future of Tokyo. One of the films was even nominated for an Academy Award earlier this year. The film screens Friday and Saturday night, starting at 10:30pm. As always, we'll have doorprizes courtesy of Stranger Factory. Plus, representatives from the upcoming Sabaku Con will be there selling advanced passes. Tickets are $8 general admission and $6 students. Check out the gorgeous trailer below.
Have Some Heart with the "I Heart U" Screening
When he's not busy coming up with new ways to insult the latest Tyler Perry movie, Alibi film editor Devin D. O'Leary (that's me, talking in pretentious third person) actually spends the occasional weekend working on local independent films. His latest effort is the romantic horror-comedy I Heart U, for which he provided the screenplay (and did some acting). That film has just been released on DVD nationwide by Camp Motion Pictures. To celebrate, the filmmakers will be hosting a special DVD release party at the South Broadway Cultural Center (1025 Broadway SE) on Sunday, March 16. A free screening of the film will start at 7pm. Cast and crew will participate in a post-film Q&A. DVDs will be for sale in the lobby if you're interested. In the meantime check out the film's trailer, which will give you a bit of the film's schizophrenic flavor.
