Daylight Is Your Best Friend
If possible, abstain from using flash. Instead, get close to a natural light source – e.g. a window, when snapping away.
Don't Waste Time
The best time to take a picture is within 10 minutes of the dish being served. If you miss this golden time frame, the appearance of the dish will definitely drop in quality.
Snap From Above For Wider Exposure
Capturing images from above means you take in more stuff as well – including the restaurant décor, the tableware etc. This works particularly well for Japanese set meals and all-you-can-eat hotpots.
Explore Lower Angles
Don't always stay on eye-level when taking your shots; snapping from low angles can create a more 3-dimensional image. Especially suitable for bringing out the textured layers of hamburgers, sandwiches and cakes.
Make Use Of A Short Depth of Field
Have you noticed that using a short depth of field creates more tantalizing food pictures? That's because when the focus is fully concentrated, it blurs everything in the background. As a result, the central object stands out wonderfully.
Miracle Close-Ups
Want to capture every vein and muscle on that Wagyu beef slice? Hoping to emphasize every fluffy layer of a croissant? Try edging your lenses closer to your object when snapping. (But too much is overkill – beware that the image doesn't become out of focus!)
Simplicity Is Beautiful
Clear your composition of all superfluous objects when taking pictures of food. The one rule to abide by is to keep things simple and uncluttered. Less is truly more!
The Goldern Ratio
Envision the scene as a 3 -by- 3 grid, and register the four intersecting points. Place the food right at the centre of any one point to create a visually pleasant effect. The remaining space in the composition, meanwhile, will heighten the picture's ambience. Especially suitable for photographing drinks, such as coffee.

Issues Library—Parental Rights
UN Treaties
UN Treaties
HSLDA has long been concerned about the danger posed to parental rights and homeschool freedom by certain United Nations treaties. Under the terms of many of these treaties as well as the growing body of international law, these treaties could be used to override parental rights and education freedom in our own nation. None of these UN treaties become the "supreme law of the land" under our Constitution unless they are ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate.

The Walkabout Joker Draw is now in Week 40. Friday night's possible jackpot will be $7,924.
There are 14 face down cards remaining. One of those cards is the jackpot-winning Joker. Two of those cards are Aces that win a moto.
Recent ticket sales data is as follows:
Week Thirty Seven – 694 tickets sold
Week Thirty Eight – 822 (+128 increase from prior week)
Week Thirty Nine – 982 (+160)
I estimate that Friday night there will be 1,195 tickets sold and placed in the Walkabout drum (a +213 ticket increase from last week). Maybe fewer if it rains. Maybe more if that crap band is playing over at Black Cat.
This means that the odds of a patron winning the $7,924 jackpot with a single $1 ticket on Friday will be approximately 1 in 16,730 (i.e., 1/1,195 x 1/14 = 1/16,730). The "expected return" on each $1 ticket purchased, factoring in the value of the two Aces remaining, will be roughly 57 cents.
If you read my article last week, you may notice that this week's odds of winning and expected return are worse than last week's. Even though this week's jackpot is higher, entering the drawing this week will undoubtedly be a suckier gambling proposition than it was last week.
You may be asking "Why have the odds of winning and expected return gotten worse, if there are now fewer face down cards remaining and a higher jackpot?" Here is why. As the jackpot has risen over $6,000, ticket sales have rapidly and irrationally increased, while the chances of someone pulling the Joker have only marginally improved.
Three weeks ago, the bar sold 694 tickets, with the lucky ticket holder having a 1 in 17 (5.9%) chance of turning over the Joker and winning the $6,675 jackpot. This week, the bar will sell about 72% more tickets than it did three weeks ago, making the chances of having your own ticket called much, much lower.
Meanwhile, this week's lucky ticket holder will have only a slightly better 1 in 14 (7.1%) chance of turning over the Joker. Also, though there will be far more tickets in the drum this week than there were three weeks ago, the jackpot will be only 19% higher ($7,924 this week vs. $6,675 three weeks ago).
For all of these reasons, I can't recommend wasting your precious beer or hooker money on Walkabout Joker Draw tickets this week. But if you want to hang out in the bar and try the "Deal or No Deal" gambit when someone else's ticket number is called, go ahead and offer that lucky bastard up to $600 for the called ticket.
The actual "value" of the called ticket will be $680, as it gives the holder a 7.1% chance of drawing the $7,924 Joker (an opportunity worth $566) plus a 14.3% chance of drawing one of the two Aces (an opportunity worth $114 if each moto is valued at $800). Just try not to get punched if you win.
Good luck!

Just so you are aware the Consumer Action Group was approached to offer advice on the making of this episode. http://www.itv.com/tvguide/ Buy Today, Pay Tomorrow? "Households are currently borrowing more than a billion pounds a month in a spending spree that is fuelling a dangerous debt crisis, which could leave many people teetering on the edge of serious money troubles. Adam Shaw investigates whether Britain is heading for a new credit crunch. News " Initially I was invited to advise on debts of a debtor that will feature in this episode. Prioritising all his debts (around 10.5 K and how to deal with the mounting pressure he was being placed under.. Analysing his various debts and what stage he was at in line with who they were owed to and the age of the debts and explaining the Credit Consumer Act legislation etc.. ITV came to my home and interviewed me and was filming for over 2 hours..talking about the debtor and how Consumer Action Group works and the benefits/expertise of our forum over the more traditional methods. Unfortunately I have been informed today that the interview which would have probably been edited down to about 5 mins will not feature on Thursdays episode because of the way the episode has been edited and that there is no real conclusion to the debtors position even though a lot more clearer that our piece did not really fit in with the flow of the programme. However we will get acknowledgement on the titles and we will be linked into " Tonight's " Social Media should people require further details of this forum.....

have become polar opposites as of late, as Google's share price hits $800 for the first time, and Apple's freefall continues.
Shares of the Internet search giant surpassed $800 in early Tuesday trading, amidst positive sentiment, reaching a high of $804 before pulling back slightly. Google, led by CEO Larry Page, can seemingly do no wrong now. That was the prevailing sentiment surrounding Apple for much of the last few years, but that's changed over the past three months.
Shares of Google are up 20% over the past three months, whereas Apple's down 19%.
data by
showed that cost-per-click (CPC), a key metric for ads, fell 6% year-over-year, but actually rose 2% sequentially, alleviating some of Wall Street's biggest concerns. Despite a top line revenue miss, Wall Street reacted positively, sending shares higher.
Apple, on the other hand, was
for its recent revenue miss. This comes even though Apple reported 17.6% annual revenue growth, or 27% when factoring in that last year had an extra week to account for the leap year.
Google is becoming more like Apple, especially as it branches outside of its key advertising model into other areas. Rumors of
, an area where Apple has enjoyed great success, are making the rounds this morning.
In addition to potential retail stores, Google is making its own hardware. The Nexus 4 smartphone, as well as the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets have sold well, but nowhere near Apple's iPhone success. Apple, of course, has been selling hardware for years, first with the iPod, then the iPhone, and now the iPad.
It seems as if Google's being rewarded for becoming more like Apple, while Apple is being punished for trying to be more like Google. In fact, Apple CEO Tim Cook even said that Apple isn't a hardware company at a
, perhaps trying to change people's perceptions of the tech giant. "Because we're not a hardware Company, we have other ways to make money and reward shareholders," he said. "This doesn't get noticed very much for some reason."
Cook pointed out that Apple generated $3.7 billion in revenue from services and software in its most recent quarter.
Perceptions of Apple have
over the past few months. Hedge funds

liquidating their positions.
The market is notoriously fickle, and can change on a dime. Apple is no stranger to this phenomenon, something that Google has also experienced. Just don't be surprised if perception changes again sometime in the very near future.

According to general relativity, an observer not in the close proximity of a black hole, observing a mass fall into that black hole, will never see that mass cross event horizon(it will gradually fade but never actually pass through the event horizon) as it requires an infinite amount of time to do so. So, effectively, for the observer, the mass of the object falling in will never reach the middle of the event horizon, or the so called "singularity", as it will require more-than-infinite amount of time to do so.
Then why do we even define such a thing as a singularity?
I am alright with the singularities in space-time curvature, but not with a finite amount of mass being compressed into zero volume, not because it is silly, because it would never happen in a finite time for a casual observer outside of black hole.

At its discretion, an agency may advance sick leave to an employee, when required by the exigencies of the situation, for the same reasons it grants sick leave to an employee, subject to the limitations described below. An agency should not advance sick leave to an employee when it is known (or reasonably expected) that the employee will not return to duty, e.g., when the employee has applied for disability retirement. Before granting advanced sick leave, it is recommended that the approving authority consider such matters as the expectation of return to duty, the need for the employee's services, and the benefits to the agency of retaining the employee.
An agency may advance up to 240 hours (30 days) of sick leave to a full-time employee*-
An agency may advance up to 104 hours (13 days) of sick leave to a full-time employee*-
* For a part-time employee (or an employee on an uncommon tour of duty), these amounts must be prorated according to the number of hours in the employee's regularly scheduled administrative workweek.
Two hundred forty (240) hours (30 days) is the maximum amount of advanced sick leave a full-time employee may have to his or her credit at any one time. For a part-time employee (or an employee on an uncommon tour of duty), the maximum amount of sick leave an agency may advance to the employee must be prorated according to the number of hours in the employee's regularly scheduled administrative workweek.
A request for advanced sick leave is essentially a request for sick leave, therefore, the medical documentation requirements for granting of sick leave apply. For details on supporting evidence for the use of sick leave, please see our fact sheet entitled Sick Leave (General Information). Employees should consult their agency-specific human resources guidance and review applicable policies set forth in collective bargaining agreements for information specific to their agency.
Advanced sick leave may be liquidated by subsequently earned sick leave, by a charge against annual leave (provided this action is completed prior to the time the leave would be forfeited and the annual leave would have been granted), or by a refund upon separation. If an employee is a participant in an agency's voluntary leave transfer or leave bank program(s), advanced sick leave may be liquidated by substituting donated annual leave for sick leave that was advanced on or after the date of the medical emergency. (See voluntary leave transfer program or voluntary leave bank program fact sheets for the definition of medical emergency.) With the consent of the agency, an employee may arrange to refund advanced sick leave in cash if mutually agreeable and administratively feasible. (The pay rate applicable to refund is that rate which was in effect at the time the advanced sick leave was taken.)
When an employee who is indebted for advanced sick leave transfers to another Federal agency without a break in service, the agency from which the employee transfers must certify the employee's sick leave account to the new agency for charge. Agencies may not require an employee to refund the amount of the advanced leave in order to achieve a "zero" balance at the time of transfer. In such cases, a negative sick leave balance should be transferred to the employee's new agency.
When an employee who is indebted for advanced sick leave separates from Federal service, he or she is required to refund the amount of advanced sick leave or the agency may deduct that amount from any pay due the employee upon separation. However, if the employees dies, retires for disability, or is separated or resigns because of disability, the requirement to repay does not apply. The agency makes the determination as to whether an employee has separated or resigned because of disability.
An employee who enters active military service with a right to restoration is not considered as having separated and is not required to refund the amount of advanced sick leave when entering military service. The advanced sick leave should be liquidated either after the employee returns to duty or is separated from Federal service.
Sick leave may be used only for those circumstances specified in law and regulation. The Federal Government offers a wide range of leave options and workplace flexibilities to assist an employee who needs to be away from the workplace. These flexibilities include annual leave, sick leave, advanced annual leave or advanced sick leave, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), donated leave under the voluntary leave transfer program, leave without pay, alternative work schedules, credit hours under flexible work schedules, compensatory time off and telework. Agencies may also have a voluntary leave bank program.

Elevated Stands—Ladder Stands
These stands provide a platform 10 to 20 feet above the ground and have a built-in ladder. Three to five people are needed to erect or take down a ladder stand safely. When setting up the stand, make sure the ground is level. Then lean the stand against the tree and chain or strap it into place.

Hello friends. I feel like I've been away a year. I've missed you! Amazing how much can take place in one week. We are here in good ole Virginia. We are happy and TIRED...very very tired. This move has been probably the hardest thing we've ever done. So excited to share everything with you. I couldn't possibly jump to the present. There was a whole lot of in between, so bear with me as I recount this past week.
The final morning the movers were there the girls and I took a long walk. Saying goodbye to the views, which to be honest was just as hard to leave as my friends. I loved my farm view and the pasture with the cows.
The first night in the new house I could tell it was going to be a pretty sunset and with the trees all around us there is just no way we can see it. That was the first time I felt the lump in my throat. Mourning the loss of light. I loved that show every night. We are bound and determined to find a good sunset spot.
It was beyond surreal to see the moving truck in front of the house and to see it empty. I tried really hard not to let myself go down the path of reflection too much. I was almost numb from the drain of the week. So many tears, so many goodbyes. It was exhausting. I did steal away for a little bit and sat in my art room and just prayed and thanked God for our last 7 years in that house.
Right as we were getting ready to load in our cars an impromptu farewell group formed to give us final squeezes and hugs. I had to keep reminding myself to breathe...just breathe. Try not to worry. There will be more little friends to play with. The girls will be fine. I know they will!
The movers didn't finish up that night until 3:30 a.m. We apparently have a LOT of stuff! They had to go really slow to stack it all in as tight as possible to fit it on the truck. Thank God it all made it.
We checked into our hotel late and just crashed. It was beyond weird being back in the same hotel that we slept in on our first night in MN 7 years prior. Talk about coming full circle. I was flooded with memories of how everything was so unfamiliar then. Wondering if we would like it. Thinking who in the world lives here in Chaska, MN. I found it oddly comforting to know that those same insecure feelings I felt all those years ago would mimic exactly how I would feel when we got to Virginia. It WILL be okay. It WILL become familiar and feel like home. I WILL make friends. Ahhhhh:)
See my wedding ring on that chain?? When we stayed here before my wedding ring disappeared from the night stand. We frantically searched high and low all over the room looking for it. I was freaking out! Finally we asked Big Chick who was 4 at the time if she had seen it. She marched right over to the window and lifted up the curtain. She had hidden my ring!! By this time I was so messed up from worry that it put me over the edge and I physically got sick. We are talking the nasty kind of sick. I ended up sitting in the car with a bucket at our house closing. The realtor had to bring papers to the car for me to sign. Good times!
Pulling away from the hotel the next morning the tears came. The weather was stormy. It completely matched my mood. I sobbed all the way down the highway...watching our familiar little town get smaller and smaller in my side mirror.
We drove in complete downpours for several hours. I kept thinking come on Minnesota...why can't we have some good weather at least on the way out!??
It finally cleared and we took in all the things I love about the Midwest...farms, fields and wide open spaces as far as the eye can see.
And then we made the best pit stop ever! HOME...back in Illinois to get a little comfort food, squeezes from our special people and prayers washed all over us. It was short. We got 2 hours with my mom and dad and two hours with Honey's mom and step dad. It was just what we needed.
Honey's dad was a big part of the town he grew up in. He served on the village board for years and when he passed away they decided to dedicate part of the new city park in his memory. This is the plaque that they had made. Isn't that the coolest thing? God's word right there in a public park. Love the verse.
I was slightly demented and completely unsafe as we traveled. All these pictures are taken from the car as we drove. I followed Honey and at one point I about drove off the road, but I got some great shots. Is there anything more beautiful than a barn?? I personally don't think so;)
The next night we stopped in a really small town in Ohio. It was late. We had Fergie and couldn't really be choosy about where we stayed, so we ended up in a NASTY place. This isn't a picture of that particular hotel. Trust me, it was gross. I made the mistake of walking on the carpet barefoot. My feet were black. Not kidding.
I read something once about bedbugs, since then I've been a little obsessed. I check the mattress seams and look over the bedding. Can't even imagine the horror of trying to get rid of them. So you can guess what kind of night sleep I had. We even changed rooms in the middle of the night because they put us right by an outside door and it kept slamming shut. That was fun and did I mention there was no elevator:(
The next morning Big Chick passed out in the shower. She got overheated and I just happened to be in the bathroom at the same time to catch her and lay her down before she fell. CRAZY! Not the kind of memories you want to be making.
Finally after 3 days we made it to the promise land:) It was so beautiful.
The new adventure begins. We had some more hiccups along the way. Primarily our house didn't close on the day we were planning on. It was stressful and unexpected, but that's life. It doesn't always go according to your wishes. Flexibility is not our strong point, but we're working on it.
I can't wait to show you more, but I have about a million boxes to unpack, so this will have to hold you until next time;) Love you girls. Thank you again for praying for us and checking in. I am so so grateful to call you my friends.
Have a blessed day.

150 days till my birthday
This user is over 18.
"'Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss' - A. Dumas"
My name is Britney, and I live in the outskirts of Philadelphia, PA. I currently have 11 piercings; eight in my ears (including tragus), my nostril, my septum, and one microdermal surface anchor on my cheek. I have 6 tattoos; a tiny star on my left wrist, a tiny heart on my right hand, a tribute to my mom on my right wrist, a large vine of cherry blossoms on my chest/shoulder/back, and two large swallow birds on my right and left shoulder blades. One of the best feelings is the feeling you get after a new tattoo or piercing!
10/25/2013 | 0 comments
All of my new piercings are doing great! My microdermal feels great. Knock on wood, I haven't hit it or even accidentally scratched it. It looks and feels amazing. My tragus is still a little sore. I make sure I don't sleep on that side. So far so good. Today is day 3 of having my septum done so it's still pretty sore. I don't have work until Monday so it'll give it a few days for the swelling to go down so it will be easier to flip it up for work. I'm in love with it!! Can't wait to get my forward helix!
10/23/2013 | 0 comments
So, I got my septum pierced today. And I still stand by my word when I say that the tragus was the worst one I've gotten. Before I went to the piercing shop I YouTube'd "how to hide a septum piercing" to make sure that it was completely able to be hidden, since I work and my boss was NOT happy with my surface piercing and doesn't even like my nose piercing. So discretion sometimes had to be a must. I also read some people's experiences with getting their septum pierced. Some said it was the worst pain they've ever experienced and some said it was a breeze. I'm a baby so I feared for the worst. I went into Northern Lights where the awesome and lovely Hannah Bananza, did my piercing. She pierced me with a 16g half-captive ring, pretty small. IT LOOKS AWESOME! (Pix are in my IAM album) It probably hurt the least out of all my piercings, only because it happened so fast! With my tragus it took FOREVER for the girl to get it through the other side. Well, all is well. I will be hiding my new beauty while at my house so my dad doesn't beat me and work so my boss doesn't fire me lol. Can't wait to get some BVLA or IStrength in their!
10/5/2013 | 0 comments
I got my tragus pierced! And it was, by far, the most painful piercing I have gotten. It's not so much that it hurt unbearably, but it just took a little longer to actually pierce since it is a thick area of cartilage. It wasn't just through and through, done! It was through... and a little bit more through... and done, haha. Anyway, it looks great. I have a white opal by Anatometal Inc. (16g) in there right now. I can't wait to get my forward helix done next! While I was there (at No Ka Oi, Phila.) my piercer (Iva Karageorgieva) changed my nose jewelry as well.. Before, I had a nose bone in there. I had no idea how bad these were!!!! She had to yank it out and it hurt unbelievably that my eye watered really bad. My poor nose hole, it has been closed and opened and stretched and reopened about a dozen times. Once jewelry is taken out, it almost immediately closes up so the piercer usually has to stretch it again. OUCH! Anyway, I traded the nose bone for an Anatometal Inc. pink opal and it looks great! I can't wait to get my white opal in the mail. I ordered earrings to match and another opal nose ring as well. WOOOOOOOOOO~

So, so far my new microdermal cheek piercing and my new wrist tattoo are doing a-okay. I do 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and 8 oz. distilled water soak on my piercing each night, and it bleeds a little. I asked my Haley, the girl who pierced me, if this was okay and she said that it was, but that I should stop the soaks for a few days. So just been putting on H2Ocean when I wake up and before I go to sleep. So far so good. I put one of those little circle bandaids loosely on my piercing when I go to sleep, to ensure that I don't accidentally hit it with my hand while it's healing. It makes me feel much better knowing I can't scratch it or hit it while I sleep. I also sleep with my cats right near my face so this also ensures that cat hair and stuff can't get to it.

So my anti-eyebrow microdermal piercing looks great. And feels great! I'm in no pain at all and don't even know it's there! Last night I slept with a clean piece of gauze and medical tape over the piercing to ensure that I wouldn't snag it during the night while I sleep. I soaked it with a saline solution last night (1/4 tsp.. kosher salt & 8 oz. distilled water). The piercer said that since there's only one exit to my piercing, the warm saline solution will help drawl all the bad stuff out. And it did! When I soaked it, it bled a little bit and got the rest of the crusties out. I'll be soaking it with the saline solution once before I go to bed, and cleaning the area with H2Ocean in the morning and how ever often necessary throughout the day. I'm wary of getting a shower though. I don't want shampoo or my face wash to get into my piercing =/. I think maybe I'll put a water bottle cap over the area and secure it on with medical tape, to ensure nothing gets in there while I shower.
My nose piercing still isn't healed all the way. Right now I have a nose bone in there and I'm dreading taking it out. I've had it done almost 1 year in December and every time I take it out to change the jewelery it starts closing up immediately. So annoying. Love my nose piercing though!

Sept. 9, 2010 -- Cockroaches and locusts may be annoying bugs, but their tiny brains contain antibacterial molecules that apparently are toxic to drug-resistant infections such as MRSA as well as E. coli germs, new research indicates.
Simon Lee, a post-graduate researcher at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, says he has identified up to nine different molecules in tissues of the brains of cockroaches and locusts.
And these substances, he contends, could be used as novel treatments for drug-resistant bacterial infections. He says the tissues of the brain and nervous systems of the insects killed more than 90% of bugs that cause methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, as well as E. coli germs.
Bug Brain Experiments
He says he conducted experiments using the insects' brains after realizing the creepy crawlers must have extraordinary germ-fighting qualities.
"Insects often live in unsanitary and unhygienic environments where they encounter many different types of bacteria," Lee says in a news release. "It is therefore logical that they have developed ways of protecting themselves against micro-organisms."
He presented his findings in Nottingham at the annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology.
Lee says new antibiotics developed from brains of cockroaches and locusts have the potential to become "alternatives for currently available drugs that may be effective but have serious and unwanted side effects.���
New Antibiotics Badly Needed
"New antimicrobial agents are urgently needed to meet the challenges posted by the re-emergence of infectious diseases," Lee says in an abstract presented at the meeting. "The search for new antibacterial compounds from novel natural sources is a vital research area."
Cockroaches and locusts were dissected to obtain muscle, fat, ganglia, and hemolymph, a fluid equivalent to blood in most invertebrates.
Substances called lysates of locust and cockroach brains proved more than 90% effective against bacteria tested, he says. What's more, the substances had no toxic effects on human brain cells, and more research is under way to "purify and further characterize the antibacterial properties" of the biological agents from the insects' brains.
New Drugs From Bugs on Horizon
Naveed Khan, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Nottingham who is supervising Lee's research, says in the same news release that superbugs like MRSA "have developed resistance against the chemotherapeutic artillery that we throw at them."
The superbugs, he says, "have shown the ability to cause untreatable infections and have become a major threat in our fight against bacterial diseases." Therefore, he says, "there is a continuous need to find additional sources of novel antimicrobials to confront this menace."
The University of Nottingham news release says research is ongoing to test the potency of the bug-brain molecules against a number of "emerging superbugs, such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Burkholderia."
This study was presented at a medical conference. The findings should be considered preliminary as they have not yet undergone the "peer review" process, in which outside experts scrutinize the data prior to publication in a medical journal.

text: A village covered entirely in art is a sight out of a dream. Ihwa Mural Village was my favourite place to visit in Seoul. It was truly remarkable to be surrounded by so much creativity. The local Art Committee carried out this art project to improve the environment of the village. Which in my opinion was a success! Everyone is welcome to visit the village and enjoy the beautiful murals, artwork and sculptures. It was really fun capturing and viewing the several murals. At everyone corner there was something new and interesting to look at. I really enjoyed my stay.

This series consists of talks in the area of Foundations of Quantum Theory. Seminar and group meetings will alternate.
The discovery of postquantum nonlocality, i.e. the existence of nonlocal correlations stronger than any quantum correlations but nevertheless consistent with the no-signaling principle, has deepened our understanding of the foundations quantum theory. In this work, we investigate whether the phenomenon of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering, a different form of quantum nonlocality, can also be generalized beyond quantum theory. While postquantum steering does not exist in the bipartite case, we prove its existence in the case of three observers.
In this talk, I will discuss correlations that can be generated by performing local measurements on bipartite quantum systems. I'll present an algebraic characterization of the set of quantum correlations which allows us to identify an easy-to-compute lower bound on the smallest Hilbert space dimension needed to generate a quantum correlation. I will then discuss some examples showing the tightness of our lower bound.
How may we quantify the value of physical resources, such as entangled quantum states, heat baths or lasers? Existing resource theories give us partial answers; however, these rely on idealizations, like the concept of perfectly independent copies of states used to derive conversion rates. As these idealizations are impossible to implement in practice, such results may be of little consequence for experimentalists.
One implication of Bell's theorem is that there cannot in general be hidden variable models for quantum mechanics that both are noncontextual and retain the structure of a classical probability space. Thus, some hidden variable programs aim to retain noncontextuality at the cost of using a generalization of the Kolmogorov probability axioms. We present a theorem to show that such programs are committed to the existence of a finite null cover for some quantum mechanical experiments, i.e., a finite collection of probability zero events whose disjunction exhausts the space of possibilities.
Time in quantum mechanics has duly received a lot of attention over the years. Perfect clocks which can turn on/off a particular interaction at a precise time that have been proposed only exist in infinite dimensions and have unphysical Hamiltonians (their spectrum is unbounded from below). It was this observation which led many to conclude that an operator for time cannot exist in quantum mechanics. Here, we prove rigorous results about the accuracy of finite dimensional clocks and show that they can well approximate their infinite dimensional counterparts under the right conditions.
The talk first offers a brief assessment of the realist and nonrealist understanding of quantum theory, in relation to the role of probability and statistics there from the perspective of quantum information theory, in part in view of several recent developments in quantum information theory in the work of M. G. D'Ariano and L. Hardy, among others. It then argues that what defines quantum theory, both quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, most essentially, including as concerns realism or the lack thereof and the probability and statistics, is a new (vs.
The Reeh-Schlieder theorem says, roughly, that, in any reasonable quantum field theory, for any bounded region of spacetime R, any state can be approximated arbitrarily closely by operating on the vacuum state (or any state of bounded energy) with operators formed by smearing polynomials in the field operators with functions having support in R.
In this talk we will discuss how C*-algebras can be identified and characterised in terms of certain cosheaves with self-action. The reason we are interested in such a study is it to try and give a rigorous mathematical derivation of the axioms of quantum theory. In particular, many of the standard axioms for C*-algebras have unclear physical and operational meaning, but by defining an equivalence of categories between C*-algebras and cosheaves with self-action, we believe that these axioms can acquire a clear operational meaning.
The existence of observables that are incompatible or not jointly measurable is a characteristic feature of quantum mechanics, which is the root of a number of nonclassical phenomena, such as uncertainty relations, wave--particle dual behavior, Bell-inequality violation, and contextuality.
However, no intuitive criterion is available for determining the compatibility of even two (generalized) observables, despite the overarching importance of this problem and intensive efforts of many researchers over more than 80 years.
In this talk, I will explore a timeless interpretation of quantum mechanics of closed systems, solely in terms of path integrals in non-relativistic timeless configuration space. What prompts a fresh look at the foundational problems in this context, is the advent of multiple gravitational models in which Lorentz symmetry is only emergent. In this setting, I propose a new understanding of records as certain relations between two configurations, the recorded one and the record-holding one.

Today getting any identity is essential. Competition and competitors more than ever before, to become observed is difficult, and needs someone to plan way to be observed and stick out among many.
Certainly one of individuals fields which have numerous entrants and ever growing competitors every day may be the outfit industry. Gone would be the old occasions when you might simply go into the shop and purchase what attracted your vision. Check out a couple of clothes, and select what fits almost well, which was the generation ago type of shopping. Today, whenever we visit shop, we first request the company we would like and never anything generally. The earth has moved from general to specific.
Branding an item is essential. It enhances the business. A brandname isn't just a reputation. Obviously it's a name that sells, but selling is about advertisement. To stay in the limelight one must be attractive like a looker, and memorable. Today clothing labels have grown to be probably the most main reasons of outfit marketing. Outfit companies be extra careful to select labels which go that come with their clothes. Clothing labels would be the most apparent method to promote the company. It is an excellent method for any client to acknowledge the outfit and achieve out for among many.
These aren't just names. There are various kinds of labels. Depending on your financial allowance or grandeur labels will change. There are lots of kinds of labels. Many are every elaborately designed, and a few are extremely simple yet appealing.
A lot of companies go for printed labels. Printed labels possess the name or even the emblem printed to the outfit. However, many such printed labels fad away as time passes. So, a few of the brands go for tags or woven labels. Woven labels keep going longer because these are intertwined towards the fabric from the cloth and don't need additional care to keep. Since, they are of safe fabric they don't bleed color too.
Labels are generally hidden as well as displayed as symbols. Somebody that is much more brands conscious can certainly recognize which shirt or T-shirt is associated with which brand. It's a symbol of status.
A clothing label is development of art. It requires creativeness and artistic method of design. Developing a label isn't just making the the organization and attaching it towards the outfit. There are a variety of criteria involved. An artist needs to satisfy the preferences of the trademark. The label needs to stick out unique and outstanding get noticed. Besides, these shouldn't resemble another label to become confused because the other. The colour from the label can also be essential. Labels are available in different size and shape too.

Transparent, open, and competitive derivatives trading is a key element of the derivatives reforms included in the Dodd-Frank Act. To implement this reform, Congress mandated that most derivatives be traded on exchanges known as Swaps Execution Facilities (SEFs), which must provide open access and competitive pricing.
Today, pursuant to the Path Forward agreement with the European Union, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a no-action letter permitting U.S. derivatives trading on European trading platforms that are not registered with the U.S. as SEFs. Permitting trading on such European platforms raises serious concerns about creating a back door exit from U.S. regulation that could be used to evade the statutory mandate for competitive and open derivatives trading. AFR would instead favor limiting regulated derivatives trading to entities that have registered as swaps execution facilities and are fully compliant with U.S. regulation.
However, the CFTC exemption does include important positive elements. The exemption requires that European trading platforms follow the most important rules binding U.S. SEFs in order to quality for relief. These requirements are specific, not just statements of broad principle, and have to be enforced through rules of the home country regulator, not through informal agreements with the exchange. The CFTC is requiring that these rules be established within 30 days. Furthermore, the CFTC has reserved the right to remove the exemptive relief at any time and require a European exchange to register as a U.S SEF if significant business involving U.S. persons migrates to the exchange, or if specified requirements are not followed. If properly enforced, these should be important protections against regulatory arbitrage.
The derivatives market is a global market, but risks incurred by U.S. firms can impact the U.S. economy regardless of where a derivatives transaction takes place. As the process of cross-border regulation moves forward we urge the CFTC to ensure that all derivatives transactions posing a risk to the U.S. economy fall either under U.S. rules or under a regime that is fully equivalent to U.S. rules and is properly enforced. This requires both careful specification of the standards for equivalence and continued monitoring of the enforcement of these standards.

Rev. mex. astron. astrofis vol.47 no.2 México Out. 2011
Obituary: John Peter Phillips 19492011
If we wanted to describe Peter using only two words we might choose "Indefatigable Scientist", his incredible productivity would certainly bear it out. But we would be forced to add: good friend, admired teacher, loving husband, a human being of many qualities, an enthusiast of classical music and archaeological sites, and many other interests besides.
He started his research career in his native England, obtaining his PhD in Astrophysics in Imperial College (University of London) in 1978. Afterwards he worked in various postdoctoral positions, holding Research Fellowships in Imperial, Queen Mary College (University of London) and the European Space Agency, ESTEC, Netherlands. He was a Visiting Professor in the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Spain before relocating to Mexico to work in the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, (Óptica y Electronica, Puebla, where he met Maru, his wife for 14 years, with whom he lived a happy and full life.
In 1997 he moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, where he created a research group in Astrophysics based in the Instituto de Astronomía y Meteorología at the Universidad de Guadalajara. He continued to work there for the rest of his life as a Profesor Investigador Titular B and the head of the group.
In Guadalajara he enjoyed one of the most successful periods of his academic life, publishing approximately 70 papers in international refereed journals between 20002010, and 4 more by April 2011. In total he published more than 150 papers in international refereed journals (more than 200 papers in total) with more than 1600 citations. He was named 'International Scientist of the Year 2004' by the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England.
His principal research interest was in planetary nebulae. According to a poster by Jimenez Fragoso in the 2009 National Astronomy Conference (Mexico) he was the world's 4th most productive researcher in this field. He made many important contributions, such as determinations of PNe distances, and radial density profiles. His other areas of interest included star formation, HII regions, supernova remnants and galaxies such as M82. He also analyzed large samples of such objects using new data from Spitzer and Akari.
Peter was from the county of Yorkshire in the north of England and displayed all the traditional grit and determination of Yorkshire people in his efforts to create, support and expand the new group of astronomers in Guadalajara, which now has 6 researchers included in the Mexican National System of Researchers. He was very proud to be awarded level III in this System in 2010, although sadly had little time to enjoy this distinction.
He supervised two successful PhD students in Spain and one in Mexico; one more student is now well advanced in his thesis. His students learnt an enormous amount from him, and his daily and constant supervision demanded the best work from them and their continuous improvement.
Although he liked to work in a quiet environment, he had a loud voice and a strong and contagious laugh; he was good company on social occasions, although he often preferred to work. There were many times when he told us the rather improbable story that when he was studying for his PhD in Imperial College he knew the musician Brian May, at that time a fellow student of his doing a PhD in infrared astronomy, who invited him to be keyboard player in the group Queen (Peter did not accept).
He died on 29 April 2011, at the age of 61, leaving his wife, Maru, and his mother and sister in the UK.

Ingredients are listed on the product wrapper, or, where an item is sold loose, then supplied to you on a separate leaflet. In addition, ingredients are listed as part of the item description on Etsy. Whilst I will give advice where possible, I am unable to give any medical advice. It is the customers responsibility to read the list of ingredients to ensure they are suitable for any underlying medical issues or allergies they may have. Indeed, the same conditions apply should the customer give the product to someone else as a gift.
During pregnancy, the use of most essential oils and fragrance oils in bath bombs, which will be diluted in the bath water of course, should be safe (that is as long as the inhalation is not constant or used in a poorly ventilated bathroom). As with most toiletry items, the key is volume used. If you are unsure as to whether an oil is safe to use during pregnancy, seek medical advice and directions from a reliable source before using the product.
It is the responsibility of the individual to check with a professional before using any products that may interfere with drugs or medical conditions. Pomme d'Or accepts no responsibility for incorrect use of products and for not following instructions.
Please remember when you use your candle that you will be dealing with an open flame which increases the risk of fire and damage to your home. Therefore, please take time to read the safety precautions as highlighted in the document which will accompany your candle purchase, and there will also be safety warnings on the candles themselves.
Pomme d'Or candles are intended for use by responsible adults.

Received the Fizzy Bath Buttons today. Very pleased with the product! Very fast delivery, packaged brilliantly and the buttons look and smell amazing. Unfortunately cannot comment on how they look and smell in the bath as they are for my nieces Christmas, but I'm sure she will love them. Thank you so much Anne Marie!

NH house explodes after police shooting
Media crews, others moved back before explosion
A large explosion rocked a New Hampshire house where a police officer was shot and killed Monday, WCVB-TV reported.
A large number of police officers from multiple agencies rushed to the home in Brentwood about 4:45 p.m. after a report of an officer-involved shooting.
The unidentified officer was flown to an area hospital, where he died.
SWAT teams were in the area of 46 Mill Pond Road as a fire began on the second floor of the home.
Around 5:50 p.m., a massive explosion rocked the house and blew out a large part of the roof.
The fire was quickly spreading throughout the home.
Shortly before the explosion, media crews and others nearby were told to get back out of concern that they might be in the line of fire. An officer was heard saying there may have been a person with a long firearm in the home.
Earlier, a person was seen being taken to an ambulance. That person was sitting up and did not appear to be seriously injured. A local hospital said it was treating one patient who arrived from the scene. That person was not suffering from a gunshot wound.
The Attorney General's Office said it had been informed of the situation and was still gathering information. Gov. Maggie Hassan was at the state's Emergency Operations Center to monitor the situation.
The neighborhood is a community for people age 55 and older, WCVB reported.

Simplified diagram of the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt, courtesy of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA), "Arctic Climate Change and Its Impacts" report.
Warm salty water from the Gulf Stream is cooled when it reaches the North Atlantic. It becomes denser and sinks to deeper layers of the ocean, 'pumping' cold water south in the deep ocean, past Africa into the South Atlantic. Salt rejected as sea ice forms also increases the density of these waters and contributes to the process.
The dense, cooled water becomes part of what is called the Ocean Conveyor, and the water eventually returns to the surface in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. As warm water returns to the Atlantic, the current moves pole-wards as the Atlantic Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift, warming northwestern Europe substantially.
Aside from keeping Europe warm, and playing an important role in the global climate, the Conveyor provides an up welling of bottom ocean nutrients, and increases the oceanic absorption of carbon dioxide. The Gulf Stream is what moderates European climate, the whole system is called The Great Conveyor Belt, the Great Ocean Conveyor, or whatever other popular name you want to give to the thermohaline circulation system.
Worryingly, recent studies warn that we may already have evidence of a slower Conveyor circulation over the Scotland-Greenland deep ocean ridge. And while the Conveyor appears to have operated fairly reliably over the past several thousand years, an examination of ice cores from both Greenland and Antarctica shows that this has not always been the case. In the more distant past, changes to the Conveyor circulation are associated with abrupt climate change.
In short, dilution of the ocean's salinity - from melting Arctic ice (such as the Greenland ice sheet) and/or increased precipitation - could switch off, slow down or divert the Conveyor. This dramatic cooling would mean a massive disruption to European agriculture and climate, and impact other sea currents and temperatures around the globe.

I remember when I got my hands on Motorola's introductory Droid. I had been considering a new smartphone and was naturally fawning over the iPhone. A friend took note and whipped out his brand new Droid, handed it to me and said reverently, "Here. Try this." I played with it and was extremely impressed with the functionality of the touch screen, the QWERTY keyboard, and the Android OS which, while less dependent on proprietary software than Apple products, still functioned like it was designed for anyone to use. But I noticed some issues, and the question naturally arises: has Motorola made the necessary improvements with the Droid 2 to launch the Droid line into the category of truly over-the-top phones? The answer is a resounding "sort of."
Design and features
The Droid 2 comes on the heels of its predecessor with many of the same features. It touts the impressive 3.7" screen, 480×854 pixel resolution, and 5 megapixel camera of the original Droid. Overall it is 60.5mm x 116.3mm x 13.7mm, making it large but manageable. It does, however, weigh in at almost 6 ounces and sits heavy in the hand. The Droid 2 ships with the phone, user manual, battery and AC adapter that doubles as a USB cable—a nifty and welcome feature.
The right side of the Droid 2 sports the volume buttons near the top and a dedicated camera button near the bottom. The miniUSB port is on the left, while the 3.5mm headphone jack sits on top along with the power button. Aesthetically speaking, the Droid 2 has been cleaned up and comes in white and something called sapphire which most people will default to. The phone ships with 8 GB of onboard memory and an 8 GB micro SD card that can be expanded up to 32 GB. As with many phones that run on the Android OS these days, the Droid 2 comes with the Android 2.2 Froyo updated OS, a long-awaited improvement from 2.1.
Usability and performance
The biggest improvement to the Droid 2, perhaps the one causing the most buzz and the one for which I was the most thankful, is the precisely-centered keyboard that forgoes the clumsy block-style navigation button in favor of arrows reminiscent of an actual keyboard. Of course, these keys feel somewhat redundant with a touchscreen, but I got some use out of them. The tactile slide-out keyboard itself is, as always, a welcome feature despite adding several ounces to the Droid 2's overall heft. This is definitely a phone that will fit well in your hands but feel clunky in your pocket, especially if you add a case.
Of course, as a smartphone, the most important thing is the performance—and it performs well. The folks at Motorola have upped the processing power of the Droid 2 to 1 Ghz, doubling the power of its predecessor. The change is somewhat noticeable, and the phone runs quickly if still lagging a bit during web browsing. And speaking of browsing, the Droid 2 features dual touch capabilities onboard making pinch-to-zoom a reality. I never realized how useful this feature was until I finally had it on a phone. The Android 2.2 software performs like a dream and makes going back to 2.1 feel clunky and awkward. A lot has been streamlined in the Froyo update that shows in every phone shipping with the Android OS, not just the Droid 2.
Cameras have become more and more important on the market, and the Droid 2's 5 megapixel camera does not disappoint. Until phone camera optics improve, pictures will always have that certain "phone" look, but the Droid 2's photos are relatively clear and the flash is powerful. Image editing tools include cropping, rotating, and Geotagging. The Droid 2 will automatically mark the exact location at which you took the picture and include the place name if you happen to be in a restaurant or at a particular landmark.
Motorola has said that the Droid 2's battery will power the phone for up to 9 ½ hours of talk time with 13 days of standby. Of course, other features of the phone, particularly its Google Maps-oriented GPS functionality, will drain the battery quite a bit faster than that. Expect to charge up your phone every day, especially if you are one to leave apps running or forget to turn off your GPS and wireless functions. The Droid 2 can act as a wireless hotspot, and with Verizon's superior coverage you'll rarely be in want of the internet whether you're just browsing on your phone or working on your laptop.
As a phone, the Droid 2 operates well. I have both sent and received calls on the Droid 2 as well as received calls from it on other phones. Voices are typically clear and it's nice to see that smartphones are starting to function like phones again. The speakerphone functionality is nice, if a bit crackly and hard to understand when someone on the other end is using the device's speakerphone.
Being an Android phone, the Droid 2 has full access to the expanding Android market. The nicest thing about the Android developing community is that if you have a problem with your phone, you can often find a free app developed by a power user who had a similar issue. For example, there are about a dozen free flashlight applications available on the market that take advantage of the Droid 2's ridiculously bright camera flash. Overall, you will never be wanting for functionality.
So often I find myself describing smartphones as "like an iPhone but…" and the Droid 2 is no different. In this case, the Droid 2 is like an iPhone but with a full tactile keyboard and the Android OS, though in reality it compares more directly to its generational cousin, the Droid X. In fact, I tend to prefer Android over iOS these days. I am glad to see that the phone I fell in love with two years ago has only improved with time, though I would like to see the size issue addressed in the next version of this particular Droid line. If you're looking for a fast, powerful, easy-to-use Android smartphone with a tactile keyboard, the Droid 2 is an easy choice.
The Motorola Droid 2 is available for $199 with a two year Verizon contract.

I need to say this right off the bat. Modern tales, to paraphrase Sammy Sossa, has been "berry berry good to me".
But their interface for page layout...is less then stellar.
There are a number of things that I'ld LIKE to do with the site, that I just cant do on MT. Like...web design for one. It's a fairly unitarian style of command which really doesn't leave much room for creative input.
Which is why ABH on MT is so...spartan in appearance.
Seriously, the interface on the MT side is archaic. Where as with Comic Genesis I could do an update in a matter of seconds...and prompt it whenever I pleased, MT needs a bit more effort. I cant really adjust any layout issues with MT, and the page is static.
Heck, right now just updating the "news" section requires a lot more effort then I have time for right now.
All the fun stuff like the voting buttons, the maps, the theme song...that's all going to be at the CG site. That site will be receiving monthly strip "dumps", so the strip isn't always going to be current over there...but at least the fun stuff is still intact.

Fall-ing in Love: The 2013 Autumn Course GuideTuesday, August 13th, 2013
Explore Courses was down more than four hours before Axess even opened for enrollment. Most claim that it was due to overzealous frosh (hint: you can't sign up for classes until orientation. Please stop bogging down the server), overzealous-er upperclassmen (please don't judge us for indulging our need to obsessively research and meticulously plan the remaining time in our academic careers), the fact that the Stanford computing just has a general tendency to suck (Exhibit A: Old Axess. Exhibit B: New Axess) or some combination thereof. But I know the real reason. The real reason you all crashed Explore Courses is because you knew. You all knew how each and every department at Stanford completely blew their course offerings out of the water this quarter.
I've written this course guide for over a year now (except for last Spring – sorry for any of you who looked for it, I kind of dropped the ball. My bad.) and I have to say that each and every quarter of carefully combing through the Bulletin* leaves me freshly dumbstruck with the sheer number of delightful offerings this school continues to pump out. Seriously. Writing this thing is actually pretty excruciating. I want ten more years here. I want to major in about seventeen different things and minor in eight more. I want to take ALL THE CLASSES. But alas. I can't. So I write this guide and hope that I can live vicariously through all you wonderful people who can collectively take them all for me. With that, I wish you a fantastic quarter full of vigorous and enlightening academic pursuits and the stress, anxiety, sleep-deprivation, loss of morale, and overall decline in physical and mental health that will inevitably accompany them. Cheers.
*The physical book that used to house the year's course offerings back when the Marguerite was just a horse and an Apple was just a piece of fruit.

Beltway Blog — Tipton's hydropower bill passes full House
WASHINGTON — Rep. Scott Tipton's bill to promote hydropower development passed the full House of Representatives Wednesday.
The measure promotes hydropower development on existing Bureau of Reclamation water pipes and streamlines the regulatory process to develop the energy.
Everyone in the Colorado delegation, except Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette, voted for it. The administration was opposed to the measure.
"This bill makes significant strides in encouraging the development of clean, renewable hydropower and getting people back to work in some of America's hardest hit rural communities," Tipton said, in a statement.
It now heads to the Senate.

Goodbye frosts, hello droughts and bush fires.
That's among the less frightening ramifications that a rise of up to 3C in our average climate by the next century would hold for New Zealand, according to Victoria University climate scientist Dr James Renwick.
"Middle-earth may go back to existing only in books, for most of the world's population."
Frosts would likely vanish in areas near sea level and the country would experience a much higher frequency of hot days and heat waves, with more frequent bush fires, especially in the east of the country.
"A more seasonal climate is likely, summers much more often like the one we've had this year but winters likely to stay relatively wet and stormy."
Less snow stored in the mountains in winter and spring would hold ramifications for winter tourism and hydro-lake management.
Gardeners and farmers could expect to see a greater prevalence of plant and insect pest species, many coming from more tropical locations.
It might mean we can grow crops that find our present climate too cold, though many cooler-climate crops such as apples could in turn find most of the country too warm.
There would be a greater risk of flooding and heavy rainfalls, even in places that become drier over time, while sea levels were likely to climb by around 1m by the end of the century, and keep rising.
"This would mean many low-lying areas - Takapuna, Kilbirnie, New Brighton - would be at much greater risk of coastal inundation and may become uninhabitable."
Globally, there was a risk Kiwis could see huge disruption to global food supplies as rain bands shifted and temperature extremes changed.
A dramatic change could even lead to regional competition over food, agricultural land, and water resources turn to armed conflict, he said.
"New Zealand is likely to be seen as a safe haven for many, so there are likely to be political, diplomatic, and even military implications for us."
As the risks to global agriculture implied the risk of global financial instability, New Zealand's economy would be affected regardless of how agriculture was performing locally.
Dr Renwick said sea level rise alone was likely to drive migration, at least from low-lying areas such as some of the Pacific island nations, potentially bringing much larger numbers of Pacific Islanders to New Zealand.
If the drying trend continued across southern Australia, as it was forecast to do, cities such as Melbourne might not be sustainable as places to live unless large-scale desalination of sea water came into play.
The Great Barrier Reef would die through a mix of warming water and increasing acidity of the ocean, with obvious effects on tourism.
Whether international tourist travel to far-flung places such as New Zealand was sustainable in future remained an open question, he said.
"Should a realistic price be placed on carbon emissions ... air travel is likely to become much more expensive." Rising fuel prices would also boost the cost.
