Anthony Weiner's Breaking News Didn't Help Ed Schultz on His Return to MSNBC
The MSNBC talker who was suspended for calling Laura Ingraham a "slut" spends much of his his first day back discussing the congressman's sex scandal, but his ratings were lower.
It's hard to tell if Ed Schultz's fans missed him.
After a two-week absence from MSNBC – a punishment for calling conservative radio talker Laura Ingraham a "slut" – the audience for The Ed Show on Monday trailed the average that he attracted throughout May.
MSNBC said 921,000 people tuned in to Ed, 20,000 fewer than he averaged in May, suggesting the suspension didn't generate extra interest in Schultz the way a suspension helped Keith Olbermann late last year when he was with the cable news network.
In November, Olbermann returned to MSNBC after a few days away, and his audience shot up to 1.3 million a night in his first three days back, up from an average of 1.1 million during the month prior to his suspension.
Schultz's total audience fell despite attracting 326,000 viewers ages 25-54, up from 298,000 in that demographic during May, and despite the good fortune to return in the midst of a big political story: Congressman Anthony Weiner admitting he had spent several days lying about tweeting a sexually explicit photo of himself to a 21-year-woman he had never met.
"Well, I left on an apology, and I come back watching an apology," Schultz said.
For the record, Schultz's advice to Weiner during the show was that he "take one for the team" and resign.
"Put yourself in the congressman's position," he told his audience. "He's tweeting pictures to a girl half his age on company time and lying about it to the boss – and, by the way, you're the taxpayer. You're the boss. Do you think you would survive that in your workplace?"
(Video is below).
"There has to be more restitution than just stepping up and saying, 'I'm sorry, and I'm not going to resign.' That's a little too arrogant for me," Schultz said.
Then he asked his guest, The Rev. Al Sharpton: "Does he need counseling?"
Sharpton didn't give a direct answer.

The title favourite Serena Williams and the world No1 Caroline Wozniacki will meet in the US Open semi-finals after both came through their delayed quarter-finals.
Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki set up US Open semi-final
There was to be no glorious comeback, though, as the title favourite kept her hopes of a fourth US Open title very much alive.
It was now a huge task for the 20-year-old Russian, and the title favourite did not seem keen to hang around, making it five games in a row to move 3-0 ahead in the second set.
Telegraph.co.uk - Telegraph online, Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph
Centuries in the third and fourth frames, an 86 in the eighth and a 56 in the ninth which could quite easily have become a 147 were the highlights from the title favourite's perspective.
Alonso, winner of the last two races, was typically cool and confident as he took his turn to face the media and accepted the title favourite's tag with a shrug while, down the road at Red Bull HQ, championship leader Mark Webber propped his sunglasses on his head as he refused to talk up his chances.
Schwartzel was the title favourite after his win in the Africa Open last Sunday, while Clarke's 63 was his lowest European Tour round since his record-equalling 60 in the 1999
After two disastrous rounds of Heats on Saturday, the title favourite came back strongly on Sunday to win the senior category race of the JK Tyre Indian National Rotax Max Championship at the Circuit 09 in Kolhapur.
It'll evoke numerous cherished memories amongst Liverpool fans, but my favourite is the following devastating line:
(I have about three or four remixes of the beast, although my favourite is the typographic parody NeutraFace.)
There are many wonderful museums featuring the period; as well as the National Museum in Naples, a favourite is at St Germain en Laye near Paris.

Today, we're pleased to introduce the Popup Chinese Writing Pad, an exciting new tool that will help you master the art of writing characters. Like a ruthless taskmaster, it will force you to write and rewrite hanzi until you're writing them in the proper stroke order and with the correct proportion.As with every feature on Popup Chinese, our Writing Pad offers full support for the traditional script. In the coming days we'll be publishing a series of lessons that cover the general rules for writing Chinese. We've included a list of these rules below for the convenience of advanced students. Everyone else should consider this lesson a warm-up: eight simple characters to test yourself on to evaluate how well you've internalized the logic of the Chinese writing system. This is a new feature and is under active development, so please let us know what you think, and let us know if you run into technical difficulties as well. We will continue to improve and develop this tool based largely on the feedback we get from you!1. 先横后竖:十、干、丰、下、丁、于、开、井、2. 先撇后捺:人、八、入、木、夫、未、从、3. 从上到下:二、三、工、土、本、个、王、天、分、全、子、立、它、李、兄、今、奇、春、4. 从左到右:川、儿、旧、你、好、他、从、姐、妹、引、泡、件、对、坏、吃、饭、洗、叫、劝、秋、林5. 从外到内:月、风、内、肉、用、周、网、同、义、床、厅、闲、闭、问、闻、闯、病、疼、房、局、句、勾、勺6. 先中间后两边:小、水、永、少、业、亚、办、亦、燕、兜(注意:"火"不是先中间后两边)7. 先外后里再封口:(先进入后关门)日、四、田、回、国、目、 由、且、曲、困、因、园、圆、团、图、圈、囚、围8. 先写左上点:为、门、问、闲、闷、问、闲、闩、闭、9. 后写右上点:犬、术、书、发、弋、戈、龙、尤、成、咸、求、代、械、找、我、或、伏、甫、10. 后写内部点:叉、凡、为、勺、瓦、丽、兔、雨、执、热、熟、玉11. 先内后外:("下包上"结构的字,先写上内,后写外。)山、凶、画、 幽、这、边、过、迟、远、近、医、巨、匹、匡Update: we've ported the application to flash and banished Java completely, so it shouldn't be necessary to install any addition software to use the Writing Pad. Reports of problems with any particular browsers/operating systems are very welcome at email@example.com.
May 26, 2009
totally sweet. love the way it flashes the characters up and down. one downside is I'm getting a funky grey border around the applet in IE6 here, and need to click on it to focus on the applet and make it go away.
May 26, 2009
For some reason I can't get it to work. It just keeps loading but nothing happens. I'm using firefox and have the java installed. I tried in explorer too but the same happened.
May 26, 2009
@Lunetta - have had a few reports of the applet behaving strangely in other browsers as well. which is too bad, but makes it basically unacceptable as a study aid. So much for Java's write-once, run-anywhere.we're still hoping for feedback from people who *can* use it. if anyone else has Java installed and is happy to be a guinea pig, please check this out and let us know what you think.
May 27, 2009
have java installed but not working for me...using windows vista with internet explorer=( but great idea
May 27, 2009
It allows me to draw lines - however they disappear before I'm able to draw another. I assume it should be showing me the character I should be drawing somewhere. Also, clicking on page doesn't give me a hint. I'm running the latest Java - 6 rev 13. Vista.. used Chrome, Firefox, IE, all the same result.Java - reminds me of a group programming project we did in Linux back in school. A stubborn friend of mine wrote his portion of the Java code in Windows. Getting it to work under Linux the night before the due date was hell.
May 28, 2009
thanks Mike, and thanks Nadasax. I'm porting the application over to flash where we hopefully shouldn't have these issues....
May 28, 2009
i downlaoded the most recent java...i get a nice parchment pad with a loading indicator and then it goes no further...if i click on the pad the loading sign goes away and i can make one stroke but as soon as i let go the mouse button it fades out...? hope this can get up running soon...its a great practice idea...appreciations in excelsis for the work
June 5, 2009
Writing Pad is now updated to flash. This is our new tool for learning to write Chinese characters. We would like to get your thoughts on general usability and improvements before launching our lesson series on how to write characters.If you have problems using this or run into any frustrations (where you wish it behaved differently) please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
June 5, 2009
Hi, important tool. It would be good to know, however, what character I am currently learning (pronounciation, meaning, when finished: example vocab). Besides: Better than naked characters are strings of characters that form vocab from the lessons.
June 5, 2009
Glad to see this is up and running. The recognition algorithm seems a little strict to me though - it seemed really picky with the angles of my 竖 strokes for example. When using a mouse, a generally vertical stroke should be acceptable right? Maybe I'm too used to Skritter which is a little too permissive in my opinion...I agree with Henning that later on there should be some vocab support to tell you what you're writing. I'm assuming this will eventually be integrated with other parts of the site. It looks good!
June 6, 2009
Impressive stuff. Let me throw my weight behind the comments of henning and toneandcolor above requesting English and Romanized hints. If one steps away from one's computer or looks at another browser window it is easy to miss the flashing character and be baffled on return.It would also be good to have the entire character flash at the start as a single graphic rather than showing the proper stroke order stroke-by-stroke. First as I'm testing myself to see if I'm getting the proper stroke order and I learn best from corrected mistakes. Second as it can take some time to wait for the character to finish. When I load the page I want to start writing right away. Especially if I already know the character you are testing me on after the first or second stroke.
June 6, 2009
Thanks for the suggestions guys. We will definitely add support for pinyin/english hints, and I like the idea of a single-flash too saunders. especially with longer characters. toneandcolor - modular design, so we'll be able to add the feature other lessons, etc. over time and intgrate with vocab lists. will be tweaking/improving our recognition algorithms, although we're going to stay strict about enforcing proper stroke order.
June 6, 2009
works perfectly and i think it pretty much kicks ass as is...actually really love that you don't get a lot of time to look at it...like a great memory game as well as writing tool- plus it reshows you what stroke needs to come next anyway...love it! and actually felt surprised by how lenient it was on stroke shape... also, what about putting a timer on it like the HSK quizes and counting stroke mistakes? person with the fastest time and lowest number of incorrect strokes gets PPZW swag?...=) or do that as a seperate "tournament" feature like Film Fridays and the wednesday songs...Monday Morning Writing Tourney? 10,12,20,whatever characters; time starts from the first stroke; one week (like FF) to post your best score to the board; end of the week winners get appropriately groovy swagola! yesnoyes? ;)
June 12, 2009
Great suggestions nadasax. We're working on rolling out the backend character database, but will keep these ideas in mind moving forward. I really like the idea of a timer, especially for when we get to the more advanced characters. In the meantime we've just added a pinyin and definition hint for each stroke. In the interests of subtlety, the text is a darker yellow and positioned in a place where it is noticeable, but ignorable for those who prefer not to look. If you've already downloaded the flash, you may need to clear your cache or hold down Cntl while reloading the page in order for things to work. Our first writing lesson will be coming out soon... we're just working on an extra surprise to round out the Writing goodness....
June 17, 2009
This sounds really neat. I don't have a paid subscription, but was hoping to check this out. Is there anyway to try it out without signing up?
June 17, 2009
Hi Andrew, We'll be putting up a public version that cycles through some random characters shortly. Meaning sometime next week. We'll make an announcement on here on the site when it goes up. Just to put things in perspective, right now our system recognizes around 70 characters. We're focusing on tightening things up and rolling out the initial 200 characters we need to complete our lesson set. I'm expecting that will be done in the next month or so.
March 14, 2010
Great tool! Suggestion: instead of flashing each stroke, can you make it "draw itself" in the right direction (left to right, right to left, etc)?
June 18, 2010
Hi, Absolute beginner her and firs time using writing pad. Given the comments above, I'm not sure if it's not working for me or if it's user error, since I'm not sure how it "should" work. Here's how it works for me: 1. blank page with pinyin word (plus tone) in lower left 2. then strokes flash quickly, one by one, until a character is formed and then it disappears. 3. am I then supposed to recreate even complex characters based on this single stroke flashing? Don't mean to complain, as I like the tool and love the site. I'm just not sure if it's working. When I use the same tool on my iphone app, I at least see what the character is supposed to look like (bottom left) and then it seems to be a test of learning stroke order. It's totally addictive. I'm using Wiindows 7 and the latest version of Internet Explorer. If there's a flash download I'm missing, do you have a link to it? Many thanks!
September 9, 2011
Great tool, when are you starting with the writing lessons?Can't wait
September 9, 2011
@wavergy,If the iPad/iPhone tool doesn't work for you, you can find a list of our writing lessons on the site here:http://popupchinese.com/lessons/writingThroughout Popup Chinese, you can click on any lesson level and immediately be taken to an index of all lessons at that level. Best,--david

The Mongol Derby is a first-past-the-post race. There is no banking of advantage from one leg or one day to the next. The Adventurists enforce the rules throughout the race in the form of time penalties. For any rider that breaks a Derby rule, they will earn a time penalty and have to sit out the allotted time.
Penalty Urtuus
Two of the horse-stations on the route are penalty Urtuus, manned by one of our sterling referees. Here riders will serve the penalties they may have accumulated and 'settle up' their balance. Penalty Urtuus on the 2016 course are U11 and U22.
Until all riders have reached the penalty Urtuus, the leader in the field may not be the overall leader if they are carrying a penalty.
Penalty Offences
Here are the main culprits:
Veterinary penalty - 2 hours
The Vets can award a penalty on veterinary grounds for anything they feel has compromised the welfare and recovery of a horse. Horse welfare on the Derby is paramount and the veterinary penalty encourages riders to remain vigilant and attuned to their horse's needs above their own race placing. Most commonly incurred when the horses heart rate is too high. Heart rates are taken over a full minute, and must be under 56 bpm within 30 minutes of the rider coming into an Urtuu.
Riding after hours - variable
The course is open between 7am and 8.30pm. A rider who's less than 30 minutes late gets a 2 minute penalty added on for every minute past 8.30. After 9pm, it's a flat 3 hour penalty. The rider moving after 10pm is liable to be disqualified.
Mis-use of the SOS - 4 hours
The Riders can summon SOS assistance from their trackers. Misuse of that button carries a hefty penalty.
Non-emergency assistance - 1 hour
Riders in a non-emergancy situation are allowed to receive assistance from medical or event teams but they receive a 1 hour penalty for doing so.
Vehicle carry-forward - 3 hours
Riders seeking non-emergancy assistance may need to be transferred to the nearest Urtuu. If that Urtuu is ahead of them, the rider will incur a 3 hour penalty for not completing the leg. This is in addition to the hour for non-emergancy assistance. Most commonly incurred because the rider has lost their horse or is unable to persuade their horse to ride on.
Enforced hold (non-penalty) - variable
Riders who are visibly exhausted and pose a risk to the welfare of their horses may be held at the urtuu by any member of the Derby team: vets, medical, referees or herders. This is not a penalty, and will not be rolled up to be served at the 'penalty urtuus', but an enforced hold, to be served immediately.
The Race and Adventure Categories
The first ten riders across the finish line get a finish placement. Once the top ten riders are past the second penalty urtuu, they become the Race Class. For the front runners riding at a competitive pace, the time penalty system remains in place, and penalties must be served immediately at the station that they are incurred, or for Urtuu 27, added to their finish time.
The rest of the field still in the race is assigned into Adventure Class. They will not receive a numbered placing at the finish line but be categorised by the day that they complete the course.
For Adventure Class, the penalty system is suspended. They can now request assistance from the event teams for 'free' if they need it. Negligent or abusive riding will be awarded a simple yellow card (warning) or red card (disqualification) rather than a 2 hour veterinary penalty. Similarly, any kind of misconduct (misuse of trackers, riding at night) will be penalised with yellow and red cards.
We expect this cut-off to occur around Day 5 of the Mongol Derby.

American instrumental post-rock/ambient duo Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson, collectively known as Hammock, announced a new full length studio album "Everything And Nothing" earlier Wednesday. This announcement came as a surprise to many as the duo had not released a full length album since 2013's "Oblivion Hymns."
"Everything And Nothing" is the duo's seventh full length album and will be released April 1. As a preview to the album, Hammock has made three songs, namely, "Clarity", "Glassy Blue" and "Dissonance", available for free streaming. A few seconds into "Clarity" and you might find similarities with "Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo," the album that established Hammock as a force to reckon with in 2006. The same goes for "Glassy Blue" and "Dissonance."
So if these three songs are taken into consideration, it can easily be said that "Everything And Nothing" might just be a successor to "Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo." The band has confirmed this fact on their website and also stated: "With Everything and Nothing, Hammock has entered oblivion – a place of personal struggle, doubt, and change – and come out the other side; hopeful. The experience is meticulously woven into each song, shared with listeners through intricate melodies, compelling beats, and solemn vocals."
Hammock is known for their ethereal soundscapes, endearing melody lines and minimalistic approach towards creating music. The duo's ability to express raw emotions through an instrumental sound classifies their music in a space, which is very different from their contemporaries.
The success and critical acclaim that Hammock has gained over the years has been steady and rooted. This is quite an irony when compared to the fact that Byrd and Thompson never wanted to release their recordings during their formative months in 2004. Since then, Hammock has released six full-length studio albums and five EPs till date and has enthralled audiences all over the world. So will their upcoming release be everything or nothing? That's something only time will tell, but for now we can't stop listening to the three songs available online.

Since its market launch at the end of 2005, this systemhas already been installed over 500 times in leading clinics throughout the world. This proves that dual-source technology is in demand not only in research, but in routine diagnostics as well.
Siemens is still the only company capable of manufacturing dual-source CTs. Dual-source computed tomography meets the most important demand placed on medical technology by cardiologists and radiologists: To generate the highest quality and most detailed images of quickly or irregularly beating hearts – and to achieve this at only half the radiation dose in comparison to other systems currently available on the market. Moreover, the system can simultaneously generate different energy levels with its two X-ray tubes.
This makes it possible to determine the type, composition and perfusion of the tissue concerned also in routine diagnostics. Due to its high scan speed and especially large bore of 78 centimeters, today Dual Source CT is also preferred for emergency care and overweight patients.
When Siemens Healthcare introduced the first dual-source CT scanner in 2005, this was regarded as a risky venture. Because at that time Siemens was the only company that turned its back on the race for even more detector rows and focused on a completely new technology. The customers demanded new clinical applications for computed tomography and required detailed images of the heart – especially of irregularly or very quickly beating hearts.
"Our goal is to increase the quality of patient care and at the same time lower health care costs. An additional conventional increase in the number of detector rows would not have succeeded in satisfying future clinical requirements," said Dr. Sami Atiya, CEO of Computed Tomography at Siemens Healthcare. "The interaction between manufacturers of medical equipment and experts who use it is extremely important, especially with regard to innovations in clinical applications. Our close cooperation with users was one of the factors contributing to our success in the development of Dual Source CT."
Siemens developed an innovative solution in cooperation with leading physicians: In order to increase the scan speed for heart diagnosis, two X-ray tube assemblies and two detectors revolve around the patient instead of one X-ray tube assembly and one detector, as was earlier the case. It was previously impossible to place two X-ray tubes in a single CT scanner due to their dimensions. However, at the beginning of 2000 Siemens successfully developed an X-ray tube that is only half as large and, even more important, much lighter: the Straton tube. This made it possible to arrange two X-ray tube assemblies and two detectors in the gantry.
Optimal cardiac imaging is best achieved in the diastolic phase of the heartbeat. The faster the heart rate, the shorter this phase is. When a CT scanner with only a single X-ray source is used, the system must acquire data projections of 180 degrees from the tube and the detector in order to generate a scan within the diastolic phase. With Dual Source CT, the two tube-detector combinations must move only 90 degrees in order to generate an excellent heart scan. Since heart acquisition can thus be performed twice as fast, the dose can be reduced by more than half in comparison to CT scanners equipped with only one X-ray tube. While conventional CTs enabled scans only at low heart rates, the new Siemens system provides highly detailed images of even quickly or irregularly beating hearts and, due to the increased scan speed, achieves this with only half the radiation dose.
And there is also another important advantage: Two X-ray tubes can generate different levels of energy simultaneously. Based on a single data set acquired with two different radiation energy levels, referred to as "dual energy", a variety of information about the type, composition and perfusion of the tissue can be obtained. Previously several examination steps or methods were needed for this. The dual-energy technique spares the patient the need to undergo multiple scans, accelerates clinical workflows and opens up new clinical fields of application for computed tomography. Siemens Healthcare is the only company on the market already offering ten special dual energy applications which, for example, can be used to more easily diagnose diseases of the heart, brain and lungs as well as of the joints in the extremities. "Siemens was the first company to recognize the enormous potential of dual-source technology and its significance for the future of computed tomography. In the meantime, the trust we placed in this technology has been confirmed by a great deal of convincing results both in research and in routine diagnostics," said Sami Atiya. More than 1.2 million cardiac CT scans without beta blockers and some 200,000 dual energy examinations have been performed to date. This technology has thus clearly established itself in leading-edge diagnostics and in patient care.
In November 2008, Siemens extended the premium segment of its portfolio to include the successor unit, the Somatom Definition Flash. This new unit, which is also a Dual Source CT scanner, can scan an image of the entire heart in about one quarter of a second, i.e. less than half a heartbeat. The resulting radiation dose amounts to less than one millisievert (mSv), while the average effective dose for heart scans usually ranges from 8 to 30 mSv.
The Siemens Healthcare Sector is one of the largest suppliers of healthcare technology worldwide. The company is a medical solution provider with core competences and innovative strengths in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies as well as knowledge processing, including information technology and system integration. With its acquisitions in laboratory diagnostics, Siemens Healthcare is the first integrated healthcare company that combines imaging and lab diagnostics, therapy solutions and medical information technology and also supplements these with consultation and services. Siemens Healthcare offers solutions for the entire supply chain under one roof - from prevention and early detection to diagnosis and on to treatment and aftercare. In addition, Siemens Healthcare is the world market leader for innovative hearing instruments. The company employs some 49,000 employees worldwide and is present in more than 130 countries. During fiscal 2008 (ending on September 30), Siemens Healthcare achieved a total sales volume of 11.17 billion euro and incoming orders totaling 11.78 billion euro. The Group earnings amounted to 1.23 billion euro.

"It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom." – Jeremiah 10:12
Until my junior of college, I considered myself an atheist. As such, I believed the big bang theory, the theory of evolution, etc. I believed in the theories that could explain the world without God. While I would never have said this, I think you could say that I put my trust, my faith, in those theories.
During my junior year of college, I came to believe in God. Over a period of time, I dropped all those theories about how the universe began. I changed my mind. I began to believe in creationism, that the earth was created in six literal days and the earth was 6,000 years old. I put my faith and trust in this. For, to not do so would be to deny the truth of the Bible.
But, did putting my faith and trust a big bang and evolution to explain the making of the world change how I live my life in any concrete way on a daily basis?
Did belief in God creating the world in six literal days and a young, 6,000 year old earth cause me to change the things I did and said from day to day?
Was my life different, better, because of either of these beliefs, these opposing faiths in how the world began?
But, just a few years ago, nearly 20 years after I first began to believe in God, God revealed something to me.
Job 38:1-4 says, "Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: 'Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.'"
God continues to pepper Job like this with question after question about the creation for two whole chapters.
Just like Job, I was trying to answer questions that I could not answer. And, not only was I trying to answer those questions, but I was attempting to live my life according to how I answered those questions.
Was I there when God created the universe and all that is in it?
Can I even understand how God did it?
Does it even matter how God did it?
According to God's questioning of Job and Job's answer (he basically said I'm stupid and should just shut up now), the answer is no. How the universe came into being doesn't matter.
So, nearly 20 years later, I have changed my mind again. I no longer put my faith in a big bang or evolution. I no longer put my faith in creationism. In fact, I don't put my faith in any explanation of how the world came into being.
So, what is my faith in?
Why did I start this post with Jeremiah 10:12, which says, "It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom?"
Because the power and wisdom with which God made the earth and established the world is now the center of my belief. But, based on my change of my mind, I no longer read Jeremiah 10:12 and think about how God created the world. Instead, my mind immediately turns to Jesus.
"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it please God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to the Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
Now, when I read Jeremiah 10:12, I read it as God making the earth and establishing the world through Jesus Christ, more specifically, Christ crucified. And, it is Christ crucified that changes my life, making it not different, but better.
Jesus Christ is the sole focus of my faith and my trust.
I know realize that God made all of creation – material and immaterial – to point to him. And, God is doing so through the cross.
Ephesians 1:7-10 says, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite [another translation say summing up] all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth."
God is making the earth and establishing the world on the power and wisdom of Jesus Christ on the cross. That is the only "theory" I need. That is what I put my faith and trust in.
To put my faith in how God made the earth – a big bang or creationism – misses the point. That debate takes my eyes off Jesus and focuses them on questions that I cannot answer. And, when something else other than Jesus becomes my focus, then that thing, that belief, that faith, becomes idolatry.
After speaking of God's power and wisdom making the earth, it's interesting what Jeremiah says a few verses later.
"Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is not breath in them. They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish. Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the Lord of hosts is his name." – Jeremiah 10:14-16
Next to God, every one of us is stupid and without knowledge. Everyone who constructs idols, whether physical or mental, will be put to shame by those idols. Because those images are false and there is no breath in them. In other words, those false idols, again whether physical or mental, are dead and there is no life in them.
Ah, but there is an image that is not like the false ones. He is true – physically, mentally, spiritually. He is the one who formed all things. This image should be the sole focus of our every thought.
That image is Jesus!
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of the cross.
"And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister." – Colossians 1:15-23

Progress with the AIC Review
The Annual Integrated Collection (AIC) is a key data source for measures of Australia's economic performance for each financial year. It replaced the previous ABS annual collection (the Australian Economy Wide Survey) in 2006-07.
In 2009, senior management of PLIES and MIG decided to review the performance of the AIC after the first two years' worth of estimates were produced (in respect of 2006-07 and 2007-08). Charles Aspden, a former Assistant Statistician of the National Accounts Branch, was brought in as a consultant to review the performance of AIC in mid-2009. His review was completed in a whirlwind three weeks; the opening paragraph of his Review report stated that "NAB found substantial differences in the economic picture portrayed by the AIC core and other data sources, most notably the ABS's quarterly surveys, both in terms of coherence within each of the two years and growth between them".
The desire to improve the accuracy of AIC estimates, plus enhance the AIC's coherence with other data sources such as the Quarterly Business Indicators Survey (QBIS), has been a driving force behind the efforts of the AIC Review Team in the last year or so. The role that MDMD plays is in providing methodological advice to the Review, in particular pursuing the key work identified by the AIC Review Team which wound up in July 2010.
Statistical Services Branch (SSB) within MDMD has been involved in a number of investigations in assisting the Review. In trying to improve the efficiency of the AIC sample (which currently stands at about 20,000 units selected from the Australian Business Register (ABR)), John Preston (SSB) is experimenting with using a modelling approach which uses Business Activity Statement (BAS) data from the Taxation Office (combined with other information from the ABR) to produce unit-level values for each unit on the AIC frame. This method allows for a flexibility of models for the estimation of key measures of financial and economic performance that are output by the AIC, thereby permitting a powerful use of the available auxiliary information.
Edward Szoldra (SSB) has also completed some work confronting wages estimates between AIC and QBIS. This work attempted to shed some light on the discrepancies in the estimates between these two collections. After adjusting for a number of known differences (such as scope and differences in estimation methodology), comparative estimates of annual movement between the AIC and the sum of 4 quarters of QBIS data showed that some industries had discrepancies beyond what is explicable by sampling error. Further investigations indicated some promising (though not definitive) potential reasons for the discrepancies (including issues around differences in annual and quarterly survey reporting).
In addition, more recent work within SSB has been in addressing issues around coherence as indicated in the September 2010 AIC Review Steering Committee meeting. These projects will include SSB working with NAB to ascertain more precisely their quarterly and annual data requirements in the construction of the National Accounts and some work around the effectiveness of the generalised regression (GREG) estimation methodology used in AIC (and whether it is a viable candidate for use in the QBIS). Lastly, SSB will undertake a project which aims at documenting NAB's Supply-Use Table transformations and how AIC and QBIS data flows through the accounts.
For further information regarding these projects, please contact Edward Szoldra on (02) 9268 4214 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I did this make up look today, I don't do green eyes that often bt today I felt like doing something different. The look is more green and vivid than the pictures show, it is hard to capture the true color on photo. I am happy with it, I like that it is matte, the only shimmering shadow I used is a light one that I used in the inner corners of my eyes.

I've had a misaligned jaw for a couple of years; my orthodontist messed up with braces, and causes a lot of problems. I can't afford the treatment to re-align my jaw at the moment. Even with health cover, it'll cost a few thousand. Because of the misalignment, I get severe TMJ pain, headaches, nausea and referred pain to my neck and back. To manage it, I take large amounts of codeine, as well as oxycodone and naloxone when it's particularly bad. (Please note; I was prescribed all of this, but some of it wasn't intended for this purpose.)
Some of my friends and family have expressed concern over the amounts of painkillers I take, but I simply can't function without them.
I'm wary about telling any guy I date about the drugs, even when I stay with him. I either try to be discreet, or try to soldier on through the pain (very difficult), because I don't know how he's going to react.
Would any of you have a problem with this? Can you please explain?
- I would have a major problem with it. Undateable.
- I'd have a minor problem. Mostly just concern.
- I wouldn't care.
- Other/show results.
Most Helpful Guy
are you allowed to take all that? be careful!
Yes, I am. I'm very careful about what I take, and when, how often I take it, and how much I take. I know the side effects, and I'm avoiding taking each medication long enough to develop a dependency.

Sure thing, I'd love to hear from you.
What sucks was that he wasn't young. He was 27. He also took medication for sleep and pain himself, so not only was he insensitive, he was a hypocrite.

Cheap money from central bank asset purchases and ultra-low interest rates is helping to reinflate bubbles in parts of the global economy. UK house prices are soaring irrationally again, for instance. But my favourite anecdote comes from ComicConnect.com, a US auction site which yesterday sold an admittedly rare, top-condition copy of the world's most coveted comic book for a breath-taking $1m. That figure – more than three times higher than the prior record-holder – was for a copy of Action Comics #1, which marked the 1938 debut of Superman, thus changing the course of pop culture. Its cover price at the time was ten cents; it is now seen as the Holy Grail of comic books. But $1m? It certainly smacks of bubblenomics.
On the one hand, the economy is showing signs of renewed weakness – there was a flurry of warnings yesterday from around the world, including a downbeat statement from Mervyn King, a collapse in US consumer confidence and all sorts of warnings of a double-dip recession. On the other, there are renewed signs of fresh bubbles. One sign is the number of emails I am getting from so-called experts telling me the housing market is once again a great investment. Spotting bubbles is no science – but these sorts of trends worry me deeply.
IT is pretty hardcore stuff. No bonuses at all for anybody in a top management job at any bank that is enjoying implicit or explicit government support, a top rate of capital gains tax of 50 per cent, a one per cent annual tax on homes worth £2m or more, a unilateral break-up of all universal banks in London – UK or foreign-owned – a Tobin tax on financial transactions – these are some of the policies advocated by Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg in his interview in today's City A.M. (see page 1 and page 17). With the polls narrowing, there is a good chance the LibDems could end up as the kingmakers in a hung parliament come May. Clearly, Clegg's anti-bank, anti-private equity, anti-hedge fund, tax-the-wealthy policies will resonate with a large chunk of the electorate – but they would also have a devastating effect on London's competitiveness, chase away inward investment, destroy jobs and deal a crippling blow to the UK's already shrivelled private sector tax base. Those who Clegg genuinely seeks to help – the poor – would suffer from reduced opportunities, weaker growth and – over time – reduced living standards.
But that is merely my opinion – the real question is: what do those who work in the City, Canary Wharf, Mayfair and all of London's other business districts really believe? What do enterprising, hard-working members of London's business and investment community really think?

WASHINGTON — Students preparing to leave high school are faring no better in reading or math than students did four decades ago.
That's according to a government report — popularly called the nation's report card — that was released yesterday.
Test scores for 17-year-olds changed little since the early 1970s. But students ages 9 and 13 have improved their performances during the same period.


text: I tested my OEM sender, and it does something amazingly. It was crusted with some sort of rust scale, I cleaned it up as best I could but whatever is on it it a thick buildup of rust and something that is difficult to remove. I put it on a multi meter and I got a steady reading at empty but it bounced all over the place at full, and neither reading is what I expected given my best info is 15 ohms empty and 73 ohms full IIRC. It still reads different readings depending on the arm position but the bouncing all over the place and incorrect readings makes me think its shot. Going to order the ISSPRO replacement unit I guess.

Lot # 386 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1910 T210 Old Mill Tobacco "Series 8" Southern Assn. Complete Set Minus 1 (113/114)
Starting Bid - $2,500, Sold For - $26,438
Complete set (minus 1) of 113 different 1910 T210 Old Mill "Series 8" cards featuring Southern Assn. players. Missing only the rare Joe Jackson for completion. (The Jackson originally accompanied the set and has been separated to be offered as its own lot.) The T210 set is actually comprised of eight different series, each a set unto itself, and each representing a different minor league. The "Series 8" cards feature players from the Southern Association. The 114 cards of the eighth series are universally recognized as among the rarest cards in the T210 Old Mill set. In fact, it is precisely because Joe Jackson appears in the eighth series that he is so rare in the Old Mill set. A complete T210 series (in this case missing one card) is very rarely offered. This "Series 8" set (minus Jackson) is part of an extraordinary complete T210 Old Mill set (Series 1 through 8) that was assembled over a period of many years by an extremely advanced collector, and that is being offered by series in this auction. Seventy-one cards range from Vg-Ex to Nr/Mt (averaging Ex/Ex-Mt), and forty-two are in slightly lesser grade (mostly Vg). While every card in this lot is much rarer than the T206 Wagner, we cannot help but note that two players in this collection of "Series 8" cards are named Wagner. This complete "Series 8" set (minus 1) consists of the following: Allen (Memphis), Allen (Mobile), Anderson, Babb, Bartley, Bauer, Bay, Bayliss, Berger, Bernhard, Bitroff, Breitenstein, Bronkie, Brooks, Burnett, Cafalu, Carson, Case, Chappelle, Cohen, Collins, Crandall, Cross, Daly, Davis, Demaree, DeMontreville, E. DeMontreville, Dick, Dobbs, Dudley, Dunn, Elliot, Emery, Erloff, Farrell, Fisher, Fleharty, Flood, Foster, Fritz, Greminger, Gribbon, Griffin, Gygil, Hanks, Hart, Hess, Hickman, Hohnhorst, Huelsman, Jordan, Kane, Kelly, Kerwin, Keupper, LaFitte, Larsen, Lindsay, Lynch, Manuel, Manush, Marcan, Maxwell, McBride, McCreery, McGilvray, McLaurin, McTigue, Miller (Chattanooga), Miller (Montgomery), Molesworth, Moran, Newton, Nolley, Osteen, Ower, Paige, Patterson, Pepe, Perdue, Peters, Phillips, Pratt, Rementer, Rhodes, Rhoton, Robertson, Rogers, Rohe, Schlitzer, Schopp, Seabough, Seitz, Siegle, Smith, Sid Smith, Steele, Swacina, Sweeney, Thomas (fielding), Thomas (portrait), Vinson, Wagner (Birmingham), Wagner (Mobile), Walker, Wanner, Whiteman, Whitney, Wilder, Wiseman, and Yerkes. The T210 Old Mill Tobacco card set has always been extremely highly regarded by advanced collectors due to its featuring so many players that appear in no other sets, as well as its very distinctive design, its scarcity compared to most other tobacco-card sets of the era, and its extremely striking photos that are unique to the set. The T210 Old Mill set is also well known by all collectors due to its inclusion of Joe Jackson (Series 8) and Casey Stengel (Series 6), two of the most famous and valuable of all baseball cards. It is virtually impossible to complete the entire set and only a few complete sets (or even sets minus a few cards) have ever been assembled. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a complete set (minus 1 card) of one of the key series, featuring Southern Assn. players of the Southern League (interesting note: some of these players will be familiar for their appearance in T206), painstakingly assembled by an an extremely dedicated advanced collector. As is often the case with these red-bordered cards, there is some wear to the red borders, mostly in the corners. This is a particularly impressive group, far better than normally found, with many cards in very high grade for this condition-sensitive issue. Total: 113 cards. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000+. SOLD FOR $26,438

You've used those triangles to great advantage - focusing the viewer on that great snap. Great job on the storytelling as well.ReplyDelete
What a fantastic lo & story!ReplyDelete
Those staggered triangles really suit the jangly nerves that must have been felt. What a story! My favorite part is that you have just learned about the REAL motivation for him finally sticking with it... Oh, and I've never given up on God.ReplyDelete
Wonderful layout I love the use of the triangles on this layout. Love the story telling too :) I too gave up smoking and I can see this happening to me :) You are a strong woman :) Kudos to you. My husband and I both smoked and we gave up the same time so just imagine, but we got through the rough stuff I think we are years smoke free and for what we did neither of us will do it again, we don't want to go through it all again :) Great inspiration, a cool theme for a layout tooReplyDelete
Those layered triangles look so good. Great page (and story)ReplyDelete
Firstly congratulations to hubby for giving up smoking.Your staggered triangles look fabulous.ReplyDelete
LOVE your layout!!! The layered triangles are amazing. Pinning for inspiration! Congrats to your hubby!!ReplyDelete
Oh I've been there! He'll on earth..my DH did just the same on a trip to Guernsey..the icing on the cake was when my then 2 year old son walked in holding his lighter and a box of cigarettes to give to his Daddy! A miserable holiday but worth it in the end as he too gave up...that was in 1985... He's never smoked since.ReplyDelete
A wonderful LO and a really good idea to scrap it ...great job!
I love that you've recorded this very important part of your marriage on a layout, and what a great layout it isReplyDelete
Gorgeous page ... glad he didn't give up on giving up and you didn't give up on him!ReplyDelete
I'm glad I haven't given up on my weight loss :-)
when I hear stories like this, I am SO glad that I've never smoked even a single ciggie in my life! I'm a bit of a militant non-smoker to be honest! Good for you for sticking to your guns, good for him for seeing what needed to be done.ReplyDelete
Really like your triangles here and Leslie's right - somehow suits the raw feelings he must have been having and the raw nerves you must have had!
I've never given up on me :-)
great layout and thanks for giving us all something to think about!
Ah yes been there too, hubby finally gave up 18 months before we tried for a baby because we knew it could have detrimental side effects - hasn't looked back!!!ReplyDelete

Battlefield Vietnam Hamburger Hill Mod
It may not last as long as the actual battle, but the "Battlefield Vietnam" Hamburger Hill mod is one of the game's more popular and successful player-created maps. For those that didn't have a good history teacher, Hamburger Hill lasted twenty days and earned the nickname because it supposedly "chewed the soldiers like chopped meat."
- Download the mod. The "Battlefield Vietnam" Hamburger Hill mod can be found on many popular websites that host mods for "Battlefield Vietnam," such as GameSpot.com. Like all of "Battlefield Vietnam's" player-created content, the mod/map is completely free.
- Install the mod. Installing the Hamburger Hill mod is like installing any other mod or map into the game. Locate the downloaded .rar file and extract the files into the game's "Levels" folder. The complete file path is: \EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\Archives\BfVietnam\Levels.
- Select the map. To play the Hamburger Hill mod, select it from level select option of the game creation menu. The map will be listed with all the other maps in the "Levels" folder, including the maps that shipped with the game.
- Seize the control points. While the Hamburger Hill mod may be a knew place to play, it uses the same game mechanics that the rest of the maps do. This means you'll be capturing and holding multiple control points throughout the match. There are five control points in the game. By default, the NVA starts with two and the US starts with three control points.
- Use the higher ground. Much of the battle can take place from an elevated hill, hence the name Hamburger Hill. Use the map's terrain to your advantage and defend the hill when you are down to your last few lives.

Low GI Recipe: Sergio's Eggs "al Tegamino"0
May 10, 2013 by Johanna Burani
My husband, Sergio, grew up in post-World War II war-torn northern Italy. Food was not plentiful but fresh eggs were always available for consumption, though not in excess. His family, like most other families in the neighborhood, owned 1 or 2 hens that they could always rely on for an evening's meal. Sergio ate this at least once a week back then. He loves to make this recipe – for the good taste and for the good memories.

Low GI Recipe: Nonna Anita's Tuna-stuffed Summer Tomatoes0
August 1, 2009 by Johanna Burani
The late summer months in Italy are when Italian cooks feverishly start canning their homegrown tomatoes while preparing fresh tomato-based recipes that their families wait all year to enjoy. Just like with grapes, the sun's magic produces a succulent sweetness in tomatoes that reaches its peak in September.
So, there are tomatoes on the table at lunch and at dinner every day until the family's garden supply is exhausted. This is my mother-in-law's recipe that she served for lunch on sweltering hot days. The tuna composition is not so unusual (except for the addition of capers perhaps) but it is the explosion in the mouth of summer fragrances and tastes embodied in the tomato that makes this a staple recipe in our household at this time of year.

Low GI Recipe: Frittata with Fresh Herbs0
July 1, 2009 by Johanna Burani
A frittata is an open-faced omelet. Italian cooks usually welcome in springtime with a recipe like this one because the herbs in their gardens are lush enough to start snipping at their sprigs and leaves.
When I'm not in my Italian home, I'm a city girl, with nothing more than a few potted herbs and tomato plants on my deck. In early fall, before the cold sets in, I start cooking with whatever herbs I still have growing. The beauty of this recipe is that you can choose whatever herbs you may have at arm's length and your frittata will be as sumptuous as this one. I try to include at least three different herbs.

The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound.

Prozak Diaries is an analysis of emerging psychiatric discourses in post-1980s Iran. It examines a cultural shift in how people interpret and express their feeling states, by adopting the language of psychiatry, and shows how experiences that were once articulated in the richly layered poetics of the Persian language became, by the 1990s, part of a clinical discourse on mood and affect. In asking how psychiatric dialect becomes a language of everyday, the book analyzes cultural forms created by this clinical discourse, exploring individual, professional, and generational cultures of medicalization in various sites from clinical encounters and psychiatric training, to intimate interviews, works of art and media, and Persian blogs. Through the lens of psychiatry, the book reveals how historical experiences are negotiated and how generations are formed.
Orkideh Behrouzan traces the historical circumstances that prompted the development of psychiatric discourses in Iran and reveals the ways in which they both reflect and actively shape Iranians' cultural sensibilities. A physician and an anthropologist, she combines clinical and anthropological perspectives in order to investigate the gray areas between memory and everyday life, between individual symptoms and generational remembering. Prozak Diaries offers an exploration of language as experience. In interpreting clinical and generational narratives, Behrouzan writes not only a history of psychiatry in contemporary Iran, but a story of how stories are told.
About the author
Orkideh Behrouzan is Assistant Professor at the Department of Anthropology at SOAS University of London, and a 2015-16 Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies. She is the winner of the 2011 Kerr Award from the Middle Eastern Studies Association.
"This remarkable book reveals the myriad of ways in which a popularized medical discourse, artistic expression, and psychological metaphor have been intertwined to permit people to speak about how they feel. Only Orkideh Behrouzan, a scholar conversant in these several disciplines and deeply steeped in Persian culture, could trace this interpretive pattern—one that will be of deep interest to those who study war, social resilience, and the work of memory."
—Jennifer Leaning, Harvard School of Public Health
"A richly textured ethnographic and historical study of how languages and practices of 'sciences of the soul'—including psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis—have traveled to and in Iran, and what contemporary cultural work they perform. Full of brilliant unexpected insights, this is an indispensable text for understanding today's Iran."
—Afsaneh Najmabadi, Harvard University
"With the exquisite literary sensibility of a writer and the analytical astuteness of a scientist, Orkideh Behrouzan has written an exceptional book that brings the experiences of psychiatry and individuals' need for improvisation in an uncertain world alive to the reader. Navigating between the experiences of different generations of Iranians, this book provides one of the most compelling accounts I have read of how historical and psychological experiences fold and refold into everyday life. In its execution of this difficult project, the book breaks all boundaries between disciplines, and between expert knowledge and lay knowledge. A splendid achievement."
—Veena Das, Johns Hopkins University
"Prozak Diaries is a brilliant analysis of psychological remembering and cultural reworking, the domestication of neuropsychiatry and pharmaceutical treatments of depreshen, and the structure of feelings of a generation expressed through blogs, literary productions, and self-reflection."
—Byron Good, Professor of Medical Anthropology, Harvard Medical School, and editor of Culture and PTSD: Trauma in Global and Historical Perspective
"The book is written gracefully, offering a rich and elegant ethnographic approach to the matter of subjectivities by analyzing the rise and normalization of psychiatric discourses in post 1980s Iran...Overall, this book provides a wonderful account of how historical and cultural circumstances can produce a generational mark with deep psychological implications. But even more, the book is a lucid and beautifully written example of how people, in their everyday lives, actively manage to continue being alive and making sense of their past and their present."
—Sebastian Rojas Navarro, Ethos
"Behrouzan blends deep historical insights that are indigenous to the region with "imports" and insights that were as relevant in 9th and 10th centuries are they are today. She blends English and Persian. She blends biomedical and poetic language, cultural and political references... By any standard, ProzakDiaries is meticulously crafted and exceptionally well-executed. Behrouzan's medical training, deep historical perspective, cultural analysis, and careful ethnographic writing illuminate a way of thinking about the Middle East that is often lacking. [This book] should be considered an invaluable ethnography for all medical students, medical and psychological anthropologists, those interested psychoanalytic theory, and those studying the Middle East, Central Asia, or the Muslim World in general."
—Dina Omar, Somatosphere

How To Make Your Phone Battery Last
It's not always possible to charge your smartphone while traveling outside city limits and into the great outdoors. That being said, there are easy ways of conserving your phone's power while exploring the wild...
Here's what I did on a recent hiking trip:
1. Put Your Phone Selectively Into "Airplane Mode": Instead of going through what apps to switch off, and which settings to modify, a good way to manage your power usage on your smartphone is to simply put it into Airplane Mode. You should see a considerable increase in battery time, and you will be able to continue using most of your services, except the ones that rely on a 3G connection.
2. Wait to Upload Media: While the temptation is great to simply upload any new pics that you've taken immediately, if you're on a hike or trip, it might not be possible. I've grown accustomed to simply taking photos with my native photo app, and uploading them to Instagram and other services once I have access to a power source, like in my car or hotel room (aka #Latergram).
3. Get a Cheap Battery Power Pack: There are some dedicated battery packs for iPhones and other smartphones, but honestly, these type of devices do not last that long, which is one of the reasons I purchased a couple of generic external batteries instead. They usually get my battery from 20% up to 70% in a about 30 minutes or so, and can be easily recharged. The ones I use cost between $20 and $40, and are no name battery packs made in China.
4. More Expensive Battery Packs: If cheap isn't good enough, then you can check out our selection of higher performing battery packs, including the ones from Mophie, which will last you longer, but also cost more.
5. Modify Location Services to Optimize Battery Usage: On iPhones, navigate to Settings > Location Services > System Services in order to check if the purple location icon is displayed in your status bar. If it is, then toggle off "Setting Time Zone". Your battery should last longer, from 30 to 50% more.

Company: Human Rights Watch
Founded: 1978
Headquarters: New York, USA
Industry: Non-profit NGO
Website: https://www.hrw.org
CDN Services: DDoS Protection, Content Acceleration, SSL
Key results
Founded as a private American NGO in 1978 to monitor the Soviet Union's compliance with the Helsinki Accords, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has grown to become a worldwide leader in the battle for, and protection of, human rights. From offices on 5 continents, HRW's 400 employees are dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. They stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, uphold political freedom, protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and bring offenders to justice.
The HRW website is critical to organisational success, because it allows the organisation to make information available around the world about abuses that are taking place. At the same time, the website comes under attack occasionally from individuals, governments and organisations that have a stake in blocking HRW's efforts.
These nefarious actors leverage many attack types, but their favored type is the denial of service attack, or DoS. "Every couple of months we can count on getting hit by a large-scale attack," said Mihai Cuibus, Senior Digital Engineer at Human Rights Watch. "Once in a while, attackers will throw in an injection attack as well."
For years, HRW had the ability to manually mitigate DoS or DDoS attacks, but the organisation still suffered each time an attack took place. This was primarily due to the time required to identify threats, notify key IT team members and take defensive measures. Once alerted to an attack, HRW's two-person technical web team would need to drop what they were doing and respond to it. While they did, HRW's 70 content creators and publishers would be unable to perform their critical web-related tasks. This prevented the organisation from getting the word out on current events as fast as they wanted.
In addition, online donations could not be processed by the HRW website while an attack was taking place, as it consumed all server resources. In this way, automated alerts were not suitable for preventing damage. "We received automated attack alerts from our New Relic technology," said Cuibus. "But knowing an attack is underway and stopping it are two different things. We needed to gain a more proactive defense posture."
When Human Rights Watch migrated hosting services to Pantheon in 2014, the web team decided to simultaneously implement a solution for proactive DDoS detection and mitigation. They did not have to look far for the ideal solution. They had already been accelerating their website content and applications for several years using CDNetworks.
As HRW completed its hosting implementation, they pointed all traffic to CDNetworks global acceleration servers which include special DDoS 'absorption' PoPs. These absorption PoPs, which can handle millions of simultaneous requests, are incorporated into the CDNetworks cloud-based server network.
Through its Pantheon-to-CDNetworks deployment, the web team looked to ensure their website infrastructure would meet the following requirements:
The web team implemented the new hosting infrastructure quickly. "CDNetworks' expertise around accelerating Drupal websites really helped," said Cuibus.
The Human Rights Watch website is fast and high performing on CDNetworks 200 global points of presence. Now, with DDoS protection and 24/7 security monitoring, the website will always be accessible. Each time an attack occurs, the CDNetworks absorption PoPs automatically mitigate the malicious website traffic, while the rest of the CDNetworks PoPs accelerate the legitimate traffic. "For the past several years, we have been extremely happy with CDNetworks stellar support and performance," said Cuibus. "The CDNetworks DDoS absorption PoPs will keep our website up and performing fast, even as we come under attack. Instead of people sitting around and waiting for a fix, our 70+ content creators can continue publishing critical content without missing a beat."
Additionally, CDNetworks is speeding Drupal content and providing SSL encryption for Human Rights Watch website. This ensures the privacy of all website users and helps maximise the ability to keep donation transactions flowing securely.
