Hadoop and how does it work?
Hadoop is fundamentally infrastructure software for storing and processing large datasets. It is an open-source project under Apache and it is enormously popular. To understand Hadoop you have to understand two fundamental things about it – one, how it stores files or data and two, how it processes data.
Let us first start with understanding how Hadoop stores data: Hadoop is a cluster system. You may have heard of HDFS as part of Hadoop; that stands for Hadoop Distributed File System. Image a file that is larger than your PCs storage capacity, which means the file cannot be stored. Hadoop lets you store files that are bigger than what can be stored on one particular server. It also lets you store a large number of files; imagine your same PC that could only store 50,000 files but what do you do if you have a million files?
So, Hadoop is a distributed file system and it is distributed because it has multiple nodes or servers you can have out there; you can have two nodes or ten nodes or you can have thousands of nodes. And that is exactly the type of configuration that an internet giant like Yahoo has. So, that is one of the unique characteristics of Hadoop in that it can store many files and it can store many large files.
The second character of Hadoop is its ability to process that data or at least it has a framework to process that data, which is called MapReduce. You would probably have heard of MapReduce associated with Hadoop and just for the fundamental understanding of Hadoop it is important that you understand HDFS and MapReduce. What is MapReduce? It is a tool that helps in processing all that data that is being stored on all the nodes but it does it in a unique way!
Think of the old architecture of processing data; the data is stored in one place and the code for processing data resides somewhere else. And so to make the processing happen one has to move data from the location where it is stored to the location where the code for processing resides. The moving of data generally happens over a network which can be very slow. And this is for ordinary datasets. So, imagine the scenario with a very large dataset; it takes an enormous amount of time just moving the data from a storage location to another location where it is to be processed.
So, what Hadoop does is instead of moving the data to the software it takes the processing software and sends it to where the data is, so that the processing occurs on all the nodes where the data is residing. Hence, it distributes the processing, which is called Mapping it to the data and it takes the answer and just brings the answerback, which is called Reducing. So, that lets us process very large datasets very quickly because instead of serially processing it through one pipeline the processing is being distributed. So Hadoop handles very large datasets and it can process those large datasets because of the HDFS and MapReduce.

Eco printing: Dyeing your garment with natural dyes
Get to know the colourful bounty of Maritimes flora by working with fresh plants foraged by Natural Dyer Renata Britez.
Natural dyeing can be fun, but the experience of using seasonal & regionally relevant plants, as opposed to pre-extracted and imported powders, provides a real connection to this age-old process.
Participants will come away with an understanding of natural dyeing with fresh raw dye, surface design techniques and leave with a palette of regional sample swatches in various sustainable fibres, a finished 11x11 in silk scarf dyed with local colour as well as informational handouts on how to repeat the process at home with local plants.
Fibre samples will be offered, but participants are encouraged to bring an old garment made from natural fibres such as cotton, silk, viscose and linen.
Please bring a notebook for swatches and notes or a binder with pages for notes and/or pockets for organizing swatches.
Dyeing can be messy, so dress in paint/dye appropriate clothes and shoes.

Scientists warn of potential serious health affects with 5G Technology.
About a year ago, 180 scientists from 35 countries signed a document recommending a halt to the roll-out of the fifth generation (5G) of telecommunication technology. More than 230 scientists from 41 countries have expressed grave concern over a technology that will put antennae's every 10-12 houses in urban areas.
This means the exposure will be inescapable for most people. The real question is – how will this affect you and your family?
First – let's look at what we know about exposure to RF-EMF Waves.
Sweden gave us a clue about EMF effects in the 1950's….
In 1988, when Dr. Brown and I first noticed that the patients coming to us who were computer programmers had far more difficulty getting healthy again, we became curious as to WHY this was the case. We accessed the Harvard Medical School Library and found the original heavy volumes of research journals listed symptoms in the 1950's that are now common to thousands of people around the globe: headaches, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, cancer, sleep disorders, miscarriages – to name a few.
Do you have Memory issues? It might be EMF Related.
Fast forward to 2015. If you visit www.bioinitiative.org, you'll find recent studies documening increased cancer risk, genetic damages, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, cellular stress and general negative effects on humans.
Why is 5G so different than what we have now (3G and 4G)?
We know that the radiation from WiFi and mobile phone communication is already affecting us. The big difference with 5G vs what we have is the DENSITY of antennae's that will be required to make it work.
5G will use high band frequencies called millimeter waves (MMW's), which will only transmit large amounts of data over short distances. Hence, there is a need to install antennae's every 10-12 houses instead of every few miles. The old technology bands travel farther and do not require a dense network of antennae's.
However, these frequency bands are FULL! There is no more "air space" in these frequencies, so the mobile phone industry decided to use an untested higher frequency band to allow for mobile communications.
MMW's have issues that had to be overcome to make 5G work. MMW's can be absorbed by foliage and blocked by buildings or reflected by a metal surfaces. This means hundreds of antennae's need to be placed in close proximity for the signal to get where it needs to go.
Do millimeter waves affect the body?
Dr. Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D. has written an excellent paper called, 5G Wireless Technology: Millimeter Wave Health Effects. In this paper, he says we know that low-intensity MMW's have been studied for decades with variable results but ultimately, it's been proven that MMW's (millimeter waves) produce negative health effects. One example is multi-drug resistance to certain viruses. Would you ever imagine in a million years that EMF is probably the source of this problem?
Drug Resistant Bacteria is a Huge Issue
Have you been sick and no longer can use the same antibiotic that used to work for you?
"Changing the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics by MMW irradiation can be important for the understanding of antibiotic resistance in the environment. In this respect, it is interesting that bacteria [that] survived near telecommunication-based stations like Bacillus and Clostridium spp. have been found to be multidrug resistant (Adebayo et al. 2014)." (Soghomonyan et al., 2016).
His conclusion is that peer-reviewed research shows that short term exposure to MMW's "affects human cells and may result in the growth of multi-drug resistant bacteria harmful to humans". If you are ill, and nothing works, you'll be sick for a long time.
Further, we have no research on how constant exposure to MMW's will affect our bodies. All the standards set by the FCC are based on 30 minutes of exposure! We absolutely have NO idea how this technology may affect our bodies, our trees, our bees, pets… it goes on and on.
What can you do to protect yourself?
We suggest that, more than ever, it is vitally important to wear full-body EMF protection. It is highly likely that 5G will be coming to your neighborhood in the next one, two, five or ten years, whether we like it or not. The bandwidths currently used for cellular communication are FULL. The majority of people on this planet expect fast, clear mobile communication. The mobile communications industry has come up with a plan – use another frequency band. It's already being rolled out all over this country. So, since we can't really stop 5G, we must take personal action to protect ourselves.
You can start by taking a personal inventory of your EMF Exposure. The EMF Exposure Quiz will provide you with a protection suggestion based on your sensitivity and exposure level.

Driving down I-10 East, lots of wetland.
Walking around the French Quarter, this was one of my favorite things to see. Balconies filled with plants. I loved just walking around, plus I was trying to find out where Brad and Angelina live. No luck!! lol!!

Battle: Los Angeles is a good actioner.
It could have been really great had the aliens been a little more tangible, a little more fearsome.
There are many scenes of chaos and urban combat that are done really well. As a former soldier I can say that the military aspects are spot-on, from the dialogue to the equipment to aircraft, bases, weapons, and the way the troops are deployed and organized. Big thumbs up for the military realism. I would've scoffed at this film if it wasn't.
However some main actors seem to remove their brain buckets a lot (helmets) during really intense combat. You never remove your helmet in combat unless you've been injured. Also some decisions that these troops make during the heat of battle would never happen in real life, such as trying to find organs on an alien so they can kill it (with a Rambo knife to boot?).
Aaron Eckhart is a great actor. I think he needs more leading roles in juicy movies. He's the best thing about this movie.
Totally believable as a Marine Staff Sergeant, totally spot-on as an Infantry leader.
The editing is really good. So good you often don't notice it. The editor did a great job. Combat scenes should be edited like this.
The camerawork is in the hand-held style but it doesn't annoy.
Usually hand-held camerawork can irritate the shit out of me, but this style is perfect for the kind of movie this is.
My only complaint is the aliens themselves. We get all kinds of footage of the troops, but only fleeting scant quick cuts of the aliens in action.
It started to resemble a video game after a while during the freeway scene with the bus and all of the close-quarter combat in houses, apartments and on the freeway. I was wishing for the ante to be upped, waiting for some justification for not showing us the aliens any closer than they did. The DVD sleeve says it's "Independence Day meets District 9, only cooler" and that is a good description.
The special effects are well done, and the movie on the whole is well made.
It's just those aliens, man.
They move like George Lucas' Battle Droids, and appear to have some very sophisticated weaponry and flying ships (I liked one of the ships scorching a burned out car with it's massive exhaust vents- good CGI!).
Apparently these aliens are "colonizing" Los Angeles and other parts of the world for the water. The movie begins with meteor showers that ARE NOT meteor showers at all, and the U.S. Marines are called into battle. Character development is minor, but it's there. I didn't really expect much character development anyway from a movie like this.
Bottom line: this is a good way to kill 116 minutes.
It's not Shakespeare, but it's also not Battlefield Earth.
It's a better than average action movie because it moves at a quick pace and it holds one's attention fairly well.
And it has nice sounding battles- if you like loud explosions and the sound of casings hitting the pavement, this is your movie!

Irish Rail has very limited number of offices selling SailRail unlike the UK where any staffed office can sell them so there is a very low rate of abuse on the system.
For comparison a walk up single London Holyhead is £135.50/£80.30 SailRail is £32
Cork Bangor is 20 + 35 = 55 Cheapest walk up cash fare is the 51 euro day return, 37 euro online. So its not a massive weak spot in the system.

Jamie Oliver has been praised after he chased a burglar who tried to enter his home and restrained him until police arrived.
The TV chef caught the man after chasing him down the street while his neighbours called the police, the Daily Mirror reports.
Oliver's wife, Jools, and their five children, Buddy, Poppy, River, Petal and Daisy, were all at their mansion in Highgate, north London, at the time of the incident last Tuesday, the paper said.
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said: "At 7.13pm on Tuesday 4 September police were called to reports of an aggressive male attempting to gain entry to residential addresses in N6.
"The male was apprehended by members of the public and was subsequently detained by police.
"He was taken to a north London police station where he remains at this time.
"Officers from Central North Command Unit are investigating."
A source was quoted as saying: "Jamie went absolutely mad and sprinted after the man down the street before catching up with him and pinning him down to the floor.
"He was then joined by his driver and a handful of neighbours who helped him hold down the burglar until police arrived to arrest him."

"Not acceptable" – Walkinshaw squad promises Supercars fight back
Walkinshaw Andretti United has vowed it will fight its way back to the front of the Supercars field after a showing in Perth it's deemed "not acceptable".
WAU came into the second year of its overseas investment programme looking to build on a promising 2018 season, which included a win and a dramatic increase in Top 10 finishes compared to 2017.
However there's been more signs of regression than progression, with James Courtney currently 14th in the points and Scott Pye 18th in the points.
This time last season the pair were sitting sixth (Pye) and seventh (Courtney).
Off the back of a weekend that yielded a best result of 16th for each driver, Pye on Friday and Courtney on Saturday, co-team principals Mathew Nilsson and Bruce Stewart have levelled the team's current form as "not acceptable", and vowed to fight back.
"Despite the progress of last year, there's no doubt we are currently struggling, and that's not acceptable," read the statement.
"We completely understand the frustration from our supporters. That frustration comes from loyalty and passion for this team, and that's what drives us.
"To our fans and amazing partners, we state that we are not going to sit on our hands and accept this.
"We will be using our resources to move forward, you will see us progress back up to the front, and no one will rest until that happens.
"We know a lot will say that's been said before, but we can only deal in the present. What we do know is that everyone here in Australia and around the globe are hurting, but no one is rolling over.
"We're down but we are not out."
Read Also:
The low point of the difficult weekend in Perth was a DNF for Pye on Saturday night, after he misjudged a move on Nissan driver Andre Heimgartner at the last corner.
"Heimgartner [was] on his out-lap and I thought I'd have a red-hot crack and just couldn't pull it up," said Pye.
"I think I was down the inside and once I was there I couldn't really back out of it. I was committed to that move and I don't really know what happened.
"I'm sorry to our fans, particularly, because we had such a hard run and I think we were on for a good run today.
"We needed something to be happy about, [I'm] so sorry to everyone back home that's cheering us on and hoping for better."

8 Things Every Recent Graduate Needs to Hear
If you're currently avoiding your phone because it's filled with texts from people asking if you got a job yet, or maybe you're hiding from your mom because she "can't believe the best four years of your life are over," read this instead: Eight pieces of advice that every recent graduate and twentysomething needs to hear, from journalist and author Amy Odell.
1. You have talent and you should be paid for it.
"Get as much money as you can, in whatever field you're going into. I feel like women in general feel like they're lucky to get their first job, and luck is a factor but it's also because you have talent and you should be paid for it. What you start a job at is going to be the biggest indicator to where you end up with your salary. I chose to be a journalist, which doesn't pay well at all, so I didn't get into it because I wanted money. But even at my first job, I didn't negotiate at all and I wish I had asked for a little bit more money. They might have said no, but I wish that I at least asked.".
2. Work is lucky to have you.
"I never hired for any position — and I've hired for quite a few positions — where I felt like it was easy to find someone, even the entry level positions. Yes there is some luck factored into everyone's success and especially if it's a job you really want. But I also think places are really lucky to have you."
3. Listen and learn.
"If someone asks you to do something that's not in your job description, you should do it. That doesn't mean you should put up with harassment or bad treatment, but be humble and come with the attitude that you can learn from people versus you know things. Because, you probably don't know as much as you think you know.".
4. Outgrowing your friends will happen, and everything will be fine when it does.
"Your friends are going to change throughout periods of your life. There's several significant friend changes from 18 to 30. When you go to college, you'll lose touch with your high school friends. Then you'll start a new job and you might live in a different place from your college friends, or you'll end up in different industries and you'll have nothing to talk about. You might have friends who party a lot and you don't do that anymore, and that's fine because you'll find new friends at your job, or wherever you spend your time. And then you might become a mom and your friends will change again because you're looking for people who have kids the same age as your kids. I think that's life, and that is just fine."
5. Don't waste time obsessing over your appearance.
"I realize it's hard to understand this until you're looking back. For me, I used to worry about how I looked and how thin I was and then when I got older I didn't really know why I cared. Your life is not really that different whether you're a size four or a size two, or a size eight or a size six. At the end of the day when you look back at how you spent your time how will you have wanted to spend it? ".
6. Seriously, just date nice people.
"Don't date dicks. Date people who are nice and who care about you, and don't date people who treat you like crap. No one's looks are enough to offset them saying something mean to you in front of your friends."
7. Remember that finding a job is a full time job.
"You have to be prepared for that. And I see a lot of people, even people I know now, most of the jobs they apply for they get a rejection. That's just how the world is and it doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you because someone rejects you it just means you weren't a good fit for that company.".
8. Be kind to yourself.
"It's a tough transition so be easy on yourself. It's not easy coming from college and going to work every day. Whatever hours you have all day every day, it comes as a shock. Be kind to yourself and accept that it's going to be tired, and boring, and maybe uncomfortable but you'll get used to it."
Amy Odell is a journalist and author. She served formerly as the editor of Cosmopolitan.com, which became one of the most popular and award-winning sites for millennial women during her tenure. Amy is a media columnist for Business of Fashion and career advice columnist for Well and Good.

I received this email yesterday from one Catherine Conover, associate editor at New Moon magazine. They're spearheading a campaign to get young women across america writing letters to congress about the things that they feel are important politically. Here's what Catherine had to say:
Dear Thinking Girl:
I thought you might be interested in the efforts of a group of girls ages 8-14 are undertaking to bring girls' voices to Congress. The Girls Editorial Board of New Moon Magazine is urging girls everywhere to write to Congress before March 1, 2007. For more info, please see the press release below and our "Letter to Congress" website, www.newmoon.org/congress. Also, please check out one girl's response to President Bush's Jan. 10th address.
Any help you can provide in getting the word out would be greatly appreciated!
Catherine Conover
Associate Editor & Communications Coordinator
Girls Across the Nation Write to Congress
New Moon Leads Campaign
DULUTH, Minn. (January 2007) – Instead of asking for submissions to the magazine, the Girls Editorial Board of New Moon: The Magazine for Girls and Their Dreams is asking girls to send them letters to Congress. The Girls Editorial Board plans to bring girls' voices to Congress this spring.
"This is an exciting movement," said former Girls Editorial Board member Clare Dougan, 15. "Girls across the country have a chance to be one united voice."
The 14 girls on the New Moon's Board already published their own letter to Congress-the January/February 2007 issue of New Moon Magazine. Themed "Letter to Congress," the issue features contributions from 67 girls from around the nation. The girls write about the political issues that
affect their lives, addressing everything from animal rights to the war in Iraq.
The Girls Editorial Board hopes their "Letter to Congress" will inspire thousands of girls to write their OWN letters to Congress. Girls can go to www.newmoon.org/congress to find out who represents them in Congress,get letter-writing tips, and download special postcards. New Moon will collect girls' letters to Congress through March 1, 2007.
The Girls Editorial Board hopes to hand-deliver the letters they collect-along with copies of the magazine-to every member of Congress later this spring. They'll ask Congress members to read the issue and respond to girls' concerns.
"It's exciting that Congress is (hopefully!) going to hear what we have
to say!" said Girls Editorial Board member Selene Emad-Syring, age 12.
Celebrating 14 years of publication, New Moon is a six-time winner of a
prestigious Parents' Choice Foundation Gold Award for "Best Children's
Magazine" and 2006 winner of the Golden Lamp Award from the Associationof Educational Publishers. New Moon's Girls Editorial Board-a revolvinggroup of girls ages 8-14-chooses the theme, articles, artwork and coverdesign for each issue. Girls from around the world contribute 80 percentof the magazine's content.
How great is that? I for one LOVE IT. I'll keep my eye on this to see what issues young girls are concerned about. Getting girls thinking about political issues, and getting involved in the political process, is a wonderful thing. Girls need a voice in a society where they are growing up amongst all sorts of increasing pressures that detract from their girlhood and train them to be certain ways.
On that note, I want to refer readers to Packaging Girlhood, a wonderful blog that discusses the patriarchal-capitalist manipulation of young girls, based around the book of the same name. It's super – great deconstructive analysis of marketing campaigns and products aimed at young girls.

Spin polarized electronic reflections at metal-oxide interfaces: A technique for characterizing tunneling barriers in magnetic random access memory devices
One of the most critical steps in the realization of high quality tunneling devices is the fabrication of ultrathin oxide layers. This article describes a powerful technique for controlling the oxidation of ultrathin metallic layers. The technique consists of depositing the metallic layer to be oxidized on top of the soft magnetic layer of a bottom spin valve. The oxidation kinetics are then monitored by measuring the current in plane sheet resistance and magnetoresistance. The technique relies on the extreme sensitivity of the magnetoresistance on the degree of specular reflection at the soft magnetic layer/oxide interface. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

THE BRONX –– A public school substitute teacher was charged Thursday morning on a hate crime charge after he yanked an 8-year-old student's hijab off her head, police said.
Oghenetega Edah, 31, was arraigned in Bronx Criminal Court, and he was charged with aggravated harassment as a hate crime and endangering the welfare of a child.
The criminal complaint alleges Edah kicked the child's foot and hit her hand inside a classroom at P.S. 76 before threatening her, saying "if you don't behave I'm going to take your your scarf off."
The victim, who is in the second grade, told him he couldn't take off her hijab because it is against her religion and others cannot see her hair, according to the complaint. The teacher responded "I want to see your hair" and took off her hijab in front of the classroom, exposing the child's hair.
To make matter worse, the teacher laughed after violating the girl's beliefs, according to the criminal complaint.
Earlier in May, she described to PIX11's Jay Dow her terror during the attack.
"I said you can't see my hair," Safa said. "He said 'I'm to take this off,' if we were misbehaving. My sister said 'you can't.' I said 'you can't because if you did, I will tell the principal.' And he just started laughing and he took it off. And then I took it off, and I fixed it, and I was holding it. I was crying, I was pissed."
She was treated for an eye injury following the attack.
But incidents like these are part of a disturbing spike in hate crimes in New York City, according tot the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Discrimination and bias incidents have also jumped alarmingly. So much so, NYC has created a series of videos and one page ad to let New Yorkers know their rights when it comes to the workplace, school, renting or buying a home.
Edah surrendered to cops Wednesday.
Before his firing, he started working in city schools in January and had a clean disciplinary record prior to the incident, officials said.
"This alleged behavior is unacceptable, and he was immediately removed from the school and terminated effective May 3," Department of Education spokesperson told PIX11 on May 10.
Safa spoke to PIX11 Thursday following the arrest of Edah.
"And just when I remember it, I feel like mad, I just cry, I have like tears," Safa said.
"I felt a little sad, about his family, but at the same time, I felt like happy, and he deserved his lesson for doing all this."

Panaji, Aug 20 (IANS) Goa Tourism on Tuesday urged Union Minister of State for Tourism Prahlad Singh Patel for e-tourist visa processing facilities at the state's only international airport at Dabolim.
"Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) Chairman Dayanand Sopte has requested the Union Tourism Ministry for easing of e-tourist visa processes at the Goa international airport, Dabolim, under the e-tourist visa facility for foreign nationals opting for Goa as the port of arrival," said a state Tourism Ministry spokesperson.
Easing of e-tourism visa norms has been a constant demand of the tourism and travel industry stakeholders in Goa, which attracts nearly half a million foreign tourists every year.
GTDC Chairman Dayanand Sopte, who is attending a day-long conference of state tourism ministers, also made a pitch seeking funds under the Tourism Ministry's Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Heritage Augmentation Drive (PRASAD) for development of the 17th century Church complex in Old Goa. The Church, a UNESCO endorsed site, attracts thousands of tourists every day.

Facebook Insight Changes Focused on Engagement
Facebook Insight Changes Focused on Engagement
Facebook has been busy little bees lately. The latest Facebook change has to do with updating their Insights tool and introducing a new advertising product.
Here's a quick run-down of the changes and new additions:
- Total Likes: Nothing new here. If you're familiar with the current Facebook Insight tool this is no different.
- Friends of Fans: Facebook is sticking a number to your page's reach. You may have 500 fans, but if each of those fans has 200 friends, then your reach is (theoretically) 100,000 Facebook users.
- People Talking About This: An exciting metric that measures interacting with your page: Likes, comments, @mentions, and even event RSVPs. It's a great snapshot of how engaged your fans are.
- Weekly Total Reach: Representative of organic interactions on your page + paid ads.
Right now, I wouldn't put too much stock in the Friends of Fans number. It's gonna be a big sexy number on the monthly report, but there's really no new news here. Just like old media's numbers, Nielsen for TV and circulation for print, that giant number doesn't mean you're getting more eyeballs.
With that out of the way, let's dive in and see what these changes really mean. Between the People Talking About This metric, the Virality (yep, they made that one up) stat, and updated Facebook post stats the focus is undeniably on engagement.
The new analytics should give you a deeper understanding of what posts are working and which are duds. In addition, with their new advertising product, covered here by AdAge, you can promote a well-performing post to an ad to garner more attention and fans.
That's the quick update with the latest Facebook changes. It's clear that Facebook is pushing its pages to be more engaging. I'll add more information if it becomes available. If you have any questions or if you have any comments on the new Facebook Insights, we'd love to hear them below.

You must master a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.
Before to change our weight or the way we communicate with others, before to change work or clothes, before everything we should change the way we think about ourselves.

Tips for Choosing the Best Cash Home Buyer
If you want to succeed as an investor, you should target the business ventures that do not require you to spend a majority of your time there and at the same time, they are less risky. One of these businesses entails buying and selling of real estate, and on investing in it, you will never regret. If you want to generate some quick cash, you are advised to approach a cash home purchaser, and because of this, you will enjoy some money instantly to settle the pressing issues. In the market, you will come across some realty that render the relevant services when buying or selling a home, but they might take long and so you will not raise the sum of money accordingly. It is important for you to explore the market far and wide in search for the cash home purchaser so that you can enjoy the deal accordingly. Therefore I will elaborate on some tips to include in the checklist while attracting the cash real estate purchasers.
Firstly, you are advised to understand that all that concerns the purchasers of your home is the price and so you need to think about it to ensure you enjoy a quick sale. You are supposed to understand that unfortunately, many buyers in the market target the cheap homes and so you will be forced to adjust your price tag to make a quick sale. Before you make the final price tag, you should assess all the information you gather in the market to ascertain that you enjoy the deal accordingly.
It is wise for you to modify the home in a way that it catches the eyes of the potential buyers in the market and you can do that by hiring the relevant companies. You are supposed to incur heavily on the commercial cleaners and general home repairers, and so the home might look newer and so drawing the attention of the buyers closer. By so doing, you will impact heavily on the cash home purchaser, and you will enjoy the instant sale.
Cash home dealing is quite a risky business venture to explore into and therefore these people would prefer to meet you so that you can talk over the home for a deal to materialize. Therefore, you need to be there at the site so that these buyers can find you and you should have the necessary documents that prove the ownership of the property.
You are advised to interact with the buyers in a friendly way and return you will get some instant cash. You are supposed to make the buyer feel happy for the real estate so that he or she can buy it quickly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of domestic violence on children. The main questions explored were the effects of domestic violence on the self-perception and behavior of children. The children at a shelter for domestic violence completed the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children and the Self-Perception Profile for Children, depending on the child's age. The children also completed a questionnaire on their views of relationships and their future. The mothers of the children completed a standardized scale that paralleled the scale completed by the children, along with questionnaires on the history of their relationship with the assailant and on the behaviors their child was exhibiting. The data was analyzed through frequency and cross-tabulation statistics, using the SPSS program. Findings showed that the majority of the children scored within the average range on the scales. The children exhibited a great number of behaviors. According to their mothers, the children had developed a strategy to avoid violence; however, their self-reports indicated that children have learned to cope with the violence by taking on responsibility for trying to stop it. Multi-generational abuse was detected. Trends of open ended questions were presented, which offered a descriptive view of the children's feelings and thoughts of their future. Profiles were reviewed of the twenty five percent of children who not only witnessed domestic violence but were also victims of physical abuse. Treatment suggestions were offered, along with recommendations for future programming and studies for children who have lived in violent homes.

My "If you got it flaunt it dress" highlights my small waist and large chest while the pleated skirt creates volume where I lack hips. ( I swear when the dress isn't wrinkly from driving around and doing errands all day the skirt has pleats)
The top portion of the dress is a jersey material that stretches where I need it and believe me I need it. This weekend I went to a small bra boutique, A La Folie, in Berkeley for a one day only sale. This place sells beautiful and functional lingerie in a wide array of sizes, like from an A cup to an I cup! Unfortunately, its also quite expensive so I wasn't about to miss a sale there. I browsed the clearance rack and found a bra I liked in what I thought was my size. I try it on and was disappointed when I saw it caused a bad case of double boob, the phenomenon where the boob muffins out of the cup creating a lumpy unappealing look. I ask the sales lady for some help and she informs me I should be wearing a 32F! Yes, you read correctly, F. She gets me a few bras in my new size to try on. Holy crap! I didn't realize my back was hurting till I tried on the bras and the pain disappeared! If you haven't gone in for a bra fitting recently, do your girls and your back a favor and do so! So, now I have a new quest. To find places that sell my new size at reasonable prices.

Captiva ® Miso
The missing link for video backward compatibility and multi inputs
Captiva® MISO is a multi-purpose video input device works with most standards based video software
The Captiva MISO is powered from the USB 2.0/3.0 interface directly without connecting to heavy power adapters, making it very easy to carry. You can do a live dual-channel video shoot with equipment compact enough to fit in a briefcase. USB 2.0 normally does not have enough bandwidth to process HD video, but MISO is able to compress the video before sending it to your PC, allowing you to use USB 2.0 or 3.0.
MISO lets you capture a live computer screen using VGA or HDMI. The two MISO dongles give you two inputs, for a classic VGA + camera video input capability.

Sermon by Rev. Daniel L. Sonnenberg | October 2, 2011
Dear friends, I urge you, as temporary residents and foreigners in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. (1 Pet. 2:11-12) Continue reading Good Works in a Watching World (1 Peter 2:11-12)

Time to start getting excited/scared/sign-up/think of excuses to wimp out. below are some notes about the course after my google maps work today, as posted on the facebook site.
regarding END-SPAR: Well, i just finished planning the course! there will be some tweaks as i actually go out in the field, but i'm super psyched already. 10 mandatory CP's and 15 optional ones, similar to past races. Lots of epic nastyness in store for everyone.
A few things to note -
1) you will be able to complete the mandatory points with very little if any technical biking (which is good... because the trails might be a huge mess), but for those aiming to get all the optiona CP's you'll be riding some trails.
2) You are going to get wet if you want to go fast. And it will probably happen within the first 15 minutes of the race. know how to stay warm and prepare accordingly (changes of clothes, etc).
3). Although the packrafting section is optional, there is another new section this year - the 'river walk' section. teams going for the optional CP's in this section will need to have pfd's so even if you're planning on skipping the packraft section you might want to scare up some lifejackets.
4). There will be three optional challenges offered at one of the TA's, each worth one CP. here are some hints - practice building a fire, read about camping with bears, start lifting weights.
5). Practice, practice, practice navigation! Or pay one of our veteran teams so they'll let you follow them. or better yet, pay them to teach you how to navigate. Beer might serve as a substitute for actual payment.
6) Depending on how things go, we might extend the scope of the race allowing for 7-8 hours of racing instead of 6 so more teams can have more fun.
Scared yet? (;

Will there be a centralized basecamp that we'll pass through several times, where we can leave a dry-bag, food, water, and the boat, or must we plan on carrying everything the whole race?

steve - just need the name of your other team member. Jim - i don't want to give away too many details, but i can tell you that you won't be required to carry your boats the whole time like in the 24 hour race. if you are planning to packraft you'll drop your boat at a predetermined location the morning of the race. If you get to that location with enough time you will be able to choose to do the packraft leg which will require, at the end, about a 3/4 mile run/walk back to the boat drop carrying the raft. Racers will reach this spot about a third to half of the way into the race and be returning a couple of times, depending on their choices. this is the only 'drop' location where racers will be allowed to leave stuff. we will provide more details about how this all works and what can be left, etc closer to the race date.
Andy, thank you for the reply. Team Maplelag Stev...

One way for a non-profit or government agency to evaluate its programs is to look at the outcome: how much the program reduced poverty, fed the hungry or cured the sick. Another is to look at the process. Process evaluation identifies the parts of a program that worked and the problems the program encountered. Even a program with a good outcome may have faulty processes.
The Program Environment
Process evaluation looks at the environment in which the program operated. Suppose the program's purpose is to teach literacy to immigrants. The evaluation looks at the makeup of the target population -- race, gender, age, culture and other factors. This can reveal whether the program might do better -- or worse -- in a different operating environment. If the program environment is unique or rare, then duplicating successful results may not be possible.
Giving Metrics
To evaluate a process, a non-profit needs metrics. How many immigrants attended literacy classes, how many homeless ate at the soup kitchen, how many seniors got free legal advice. Evaluations can also look at darker metrics, such as how many people dropped out. Two programs with identical disappointing outcomes can look different once you crunch the numbers. A drug-treatment program with a high drop-out rate may have different issues than a program that never had many people attend.
Reality Check
A program may look great on paper but not so great in the real world. One of the characteristics of process evaluations is that they measure the difference between the plan and the reality. That can include whether the program did better than expected, whether it met all the deadlines and due dates, and whether it exhausted the available resources. If unexpected problems came up, the project evaluation identifies and explains them, and what changes the non-profit made to cope with the problems.
Internal Operations
Process evaluations often look at the program's internal operations. For example, it might ask non-profit staff and volunteers what they thought of the program and whether they gave it their full support. Other questions to evaluate are whether the program staff worked well together and whether everyone involved communicated effectively. It's also worth evaluating whether the non-profit's management team helped or hindered the project. If key players care about, say, who gets credit more than a successful outcome, that can cripple the project's performance.

Motivate Personal Fitness Academy officially has one TabataBoot Camp on the books, and a second is about to begin on June 7. So I'm devoting this blog to helping people understand exactly what to expect—and here's why: After an explanation that Tabata is a high-intensity intervaltraining (HIIT), the two questions I have been asked the most are "How much will I lose?" and "How hard is it?" In other words, people need to know what they have to gain (or in his case, lose!) before they commit time, energy and money to something new.
What those two questions I keep getting about Tabata Boot Camp tell me, as a trainer, is this: 1) People want to lose weight and get fit, which means they want to look and feel better; 2) People need some level of assurance that they will see serious results. Let's face it: Everyone knows that if the word "boot camp" is in the title of an exercise plan, they are going to work hard. But what will the results be of that hard work?
The truth is, everyone sees different results, but those who complete the program, and who follow a sensible (not crazy….just smart) eating plan that includes reducing your intake of simple carbs (bread, pasta, sugar, etc.), and increasing your intake of lean protein (chicken, fish and turkey) and complex carbs, are going to see results that will likely surpass anything they have done on their own.
So here's what you can expect from Tabata Boot Camp:
After four weeks: Subtle results that YOU will see in the mirror, and slightly looser clothing. Consistently, the four-week-mark comment I get from bootcamp attendees (or anyone following a three-day per week personal training program) is something along the lines of, "My clothes aren't as tight."
After eight weeks: More substantial results that YOU see, in addition to feel: sleep is more sound, energy levels are higher and motivation is surging after continuing to lose weight gain strength.
After three MONTHS: Results that OTHER PEOPLE notice: This is where the comments start coming, like "You look great! What are you doing?" After just 12 weeks on a comprehensive workout plan like Tabata, combined with healthy eating, people not only notice, they want to find out what your secret is.
FACT: At the beginning of our Tabata Boot Camp program, our participants spend about 25 minutes of work out time, plus about an equal amount of rest time, spread out over the course of an hour. But just six weeks later, we are hard for, straight through, for 50 minutes, with just a quick sip of water once in awhile. And there is no complaining.
The results of HIIT are widely known. Give me call or drop me a line and let's talk about it what it can do for you.

Walkerton is proof that Tory cutbacks come with a cost
Rating: NNNNN
As police and environment ministry officials begin the arduous task of investigating the gritty details behind the Walkerton tragedy, environmental experts have their own explanations of how seven trusting people lost their lives to the public water system.
The province's stripped-back concept of governing, eco sages say, foreshadows a future of citizen suffering for as long as we are ruled by the Tories and their deregulation obsessions.
Quaint idea
The traditional idea that government policy exists to protect the well-being of the people seems almost quaint in the midst of this orgy of cutbacks to environmental monitoring and enforcement programs and layoffs of inspection officers and scientists — the very people who guarantee public safety.
A Sierra Legal Defence Fund report titled Who's Watching Our Waters?, issued, eerily, on May 15, just days before the E. coli outbreak in Walkerton, finds that violations of wastewater discharge limits in Ontario jumped from 2,200 in 1997 to more than 3,300 in 1998.
Interestingly, Walkerton appears in the report. It turns out the local pollution control plant's outward water flow, the town's drinking water, regularly exceeds ministry standards for monthly average levels of phosphorus — a nutrient for bugs like E. coli — yet there has been no prosecution of that facility.
"In fact, they've been in violation in their water effluent discharge from their sewage treatment plant for five years running," says the Fund's Elizabeth Christie, citing ministry figures.
Christie and other activists find it offensive that the government is trying to suggest that the Walkerton situation is an isolated one-off problem due to human error, and not a massive infrastructure problem.
Saddened by the latest chain of events is Liberal environment critic Jim Bradley, who served as environment minister from 1985 to 90.
Bradley notes that the government has cut more than 40 per cent of the operating budget of the environment ministry, firing a third of the staff.
He points to regional staff's failure to respond in 1998 when E. coli was first found in the drinking water in Walkerton, and then again this year — and he stresses the importance of closed-down government labs and dismissed staffers who might have saved the situation.
"If they had sent those samples to a Ministry of Environment lab as soon as they spotted that strain of E. coli, they would immediately have called the medical officer of health to shut everything down, but you have to have the staff and labs to do that."
These public facilities are a thing of the past ever since the four regional testing labs were replaced by a single central lab, Bradley notes.
Erik Peters, the provincial auditor, warned in his annual report in 1996 — a year after Harris was elected — that because of cutbacks the government was failing to audit hundreds of small water plants across the province.
Risk basis
"They (the environment ministry) told us in 1996 that they were now doing their inspection on a risk basis," Peters tells NOW, "but whether they got into the business of fixing it is really going to be the subject of an audit in the near future."
The province's record on cleaning up the Great Lakes doesn't inspire confidence in their commitment to safe drinking water. A May 1998 report of Parliament's standing committee on the environment and sustainable development took both the federal and provincial governments to task for failing to follow their own targets for reduction of lake pollutants.
In the early 1990s, the International Joint Commission identified 42 hot spots around the Great Lakes, including Hamilton Harbour, Toronto and the Bay of Quinte.
Since taking office in 1995, Harris has been busy dismantling 30 years' worth of safeguards to protect the environment and conserve natural resources.
John Bennett, director of atmosphere and energy at the Sierra Club in Ottawa, says, "The first thing the Tories did was download responsibilities onto the smallest, least powerful segment of our government system, municipalities, with no easily reachable provincial backup any more."
Another factor Bennett notes is lack of support for family farms and for ways to modernize farming operations in an environmentally friendly manner.
Too late
"There's very little control in terms of how we farm, and farms are getting larger and larger. As the smaller farmers are forced out, thousands of pigs, chickens and cattle are concentrated in one place." All of which leads to massive increases of raw animal sewage.
The fact is, there is still no comprehensive legislation dealing with disposal of manure, either through composting or by reducing certain types of feed.
While the environment ministry is investigating and the Ontario Clean Water Agency has taken control of Walkerton's utility commission for at least the next six months, the latest announcements about new rules and regulations are widely viewed as too little and too late.
At the Ministry of the Environment, spokesperson John Steele will say only that "there are numerous investigations that will take a look at what happened" and that the investigation force, a separate entity inside the ministry, will make recommendations and decide whether charges will be laid.
Paul Muldoon of the Canadian Environmental Law Association, is skeptical. "The mantra of this government is 'Less government is better government,' but at what point does less government become dysfunctional, in the sense that it starts to erode public safety?"
Ministry of Environment and Energy budget cut by almost $400 million
Great Lakes cleanup funding terminated
Funding for the Ontario Clean Water Agency eliminated, paving the way for privatization of municipal water and sewer services
Ban on waste incinerators lifted, opening the door to more toxic air emissions
Staff at Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs laid off and inspections of produce for pesticide residues terminated
Mining allowed in new protected areas
$718 million cut from public transportation while an estimated 1,000 people die yearly from T.O. car exhaust
Water And Sewage Services Improvement Act divests the province of water and sewage plants, leading to downloading and privatization
Cuts to ministries of Mines, Transportation and Natural Resources and Northern Development take thousands of researchers, scientists and inspectors out of the field
Intervenor funding for environmental hearings eliminated except in special circumstances

Even though life would seem easier, if everything we set our mind and heart to was accomplished right away with no detours, no unexpected events and with no unnecessary obstacles, it would also fail to serve its purpose. I usually imagine life as a playground where we are given an opportunity to express what was stored within our being – within our heart – and what is invisible to human eyes unless it is expressed in form, words, actions, creations, and relationships. This makes of us creators of our lives. We are born with certain abilities or disabilities and we realize our strength by living the life that was perfectly carved out for us to become who we truly are. However, sometimes we are being built from the inside out for such a long period of time that we can´t see what is going on in the bigger picture. I would like to pour some light into the periods when it seems that life has only one answer for you and that answer is a devastatingly loud "no".
When life says "no"
I have been recently looking back at some of the most heart-breaking "no's" that I have received from life. And I saw that they were followed – with an unfailing consistency – by the most miraculous blessings and revelations. However, I was not able to see the blessings in disguise before the "no" came, neither right afterward. All we are left with in such situations is a "no" echoing in our mind, followed by a mental image of a black hole and terrifying darkness. I believe that we are here to know ourselves and to express our power, creativity, and love, so we can all benefit from these gifts. There are moments when I can see clearly now that the things I thought I wanted, but haven´t received, where only substitutes that I used for filling the void inside of my being caused by not seeing my own worth, my own joy and my connection to all-embracing love.
Even if it is hard to grasp, due to our limited vision, know that every "no" from life is a "yes" to your power, a "yes" to your own truth, a "yes" to your own freedom. And oftentimes life will use the last thing you are left with, to push you closer to your Self. Life will allow you to wipe the slate clean so you can start again on a more solid foundation. Love will take away everything unnecessary so you can see your beauty without false filters. And one day when you learn how to treat your Self with respect, life will turn around and it will put at your feet all those things you thought you wanted, but which you no longer need, because only then they are in good hands of someone who is able to love them like she loves herself – without a single condition. So remember every "no" from life is a "yes" to the truth that needs to be awakened within you.
When you need to learn to say "no"
At breaking points when life says "no", it can leave us feeling uncomfortable and uncertain. Nevertheless, in the most vulnerable moments, we are left only with our own heart and our own mind and we are taught how to join them into one source of strength. Nothing is more powerful than when our mind is one with our heart. It is more than probable that when you haven´t received your heart´s desires, it is because your mind and your beliefs are not in alignment with what you know in your heart to be true. In order to become who you are called to be, you have to learn to say "no" to everything that is not for you. You don´t fight against it, you don´t judge it or condemn it, because you understand that everything in this world has its divine purpose and place here, however, when you know that something is not right for you, you smile and you say "thank you, but no".
And you say it even though you are left with a big uncomfortable void for a while. I promise you that when you learn to fill that void from the inside out, the things that were born in your heart have to manifest. They may not manifest in the exact form you hoped for or they may, however, when you learn to close the void of your heart´s desire with feeling good before the manifestation occurs, with following your impulses and intuition until you are led directly to what you want and with loving yourself and being aware of your value, the things and relationships you hoped for have to show up as an extension of who you truly are. Life will bring to you everything that resonates with how you see your Self, but sometimes you need to say "no" to everything else, so you can create space for the new to arrive or for the old to be reborn. Therefore, know that every time you are led to say "no", you are also saying "yes" to your truth, you are saying "yes" to who you truly are.

Mariana's wrinkles finished
Well, it's 1:17 in the morning, monday september 15th, and today is our independence day. Yeah, we in El Salvador celebrate our independence on september 15th, and what better way to celebrate our independence than to post another milestone.
Around 15 minutes ago I finished the full wrinkle setup for Mariana. I've been testing it a little and everything seems to be working fine. All I have to do now is an animation test with the complete character to see that everything works as it should.
When I have that test I'll post it to the official shortfilm blog. In the meantime, take a look at these two images. The first one shows Mariana with a "WTF" expression, and the second one is the complete wrinkle setup. Since I just needed to test the wrinkles, I was using a standard plain shader. That means that everything you see in that mess is wrinkle-related only.
