For the unfamiliar, Whitman (1819-1892) was one the most influential poets included in the American canon. In the 1850s he popularized free verse with his magnum opus "Leaves of Grass," which includes the famous line "I contain multitudes." Many call him the "father of free verse." Before his life as a poet, the New Yorker worked as a schoolteacher, journalist and novelist.
Turpin's mission was to find any undiscovered works by Whitman. Day after day, he pored over the papers, checking certain key words against old publications, hoping to find some match, some hint of an unearthed Whitman work. After all, he often published fiction and journalism without his own byline, which Turpin thinks was a method of "protecting his poet persona."
But the work was going slowly.
"It isn't as if you turn up a major nugget every day … or even get that many leads that go anywhere," Turpin said.
One particular notebook, though, stood out. Scribbled throughout it were half-finished concepts, writer's notes for potential stories. Among the notes were three character names that struck Turpin as unique, perhaps even bizarre — Wigglesworth, Smytthe and Jack Engle.
"As a digital warrior, I thought those were gold," Turpin said.
He began cross-referencing the names with mid-19th century U.S. publications.
Thus his excitement when he stumbled upon a small advertisement appearing in the New York Daily Times on March 13, 1852, for an upcoming serialized novel titled the "Life and Adventures of Jack Engle" to be published in the Sunday Dispatch.
"Something about it felt more or less on the money. The time period was almost right," Turpin said. Whitman had contributed to the Dispatch before, he knew.
"And the name was there, Jack Engle," Turpin said. "I must have read that notice maybe 500 times."
While it "became my duty to find this publication," Turpin said, it wasn't going to be easy. The Sunday Dispatch was a "three penny newspaper made in 1852. Pulpy, riddled with typos and not made to last." As a result, the only copies were buried and forgotten in the depths of the Library of Congress. The paper hasn't even been digitized.
Taking a trip on a whim was financially out of the question, so he emailed the curators at the library there, asking to see the copies of the Sunday Dispatch to which the ad referred. And he emailed again. And again.
"I don't believe in spiraling out in one's mind thinking about these things," he said, hinting at the fact he was doing just that while waiting on a reply.
A month passed, and he found himself at his in-laws' home when his phone lit up — an email. Sure enough, it was a PDF from the Library of Congress, the document he had been anxiously awaiting.
Tingling, he opened it.
"What I saw was all those unique, offbeat character names," Wigglesworth, Smytthe and Jack Engle, he said. "That was the moment I knew it was something."
Immediately, "I said some unprincipled words, and I immediately told my wife," he said, pausing. "Well, I sort of couldn't get words out, so she asked, 'Good or bad?' And I said, 'Good.'"
In fact, he had discovered a 36,000-word novel written by Whitman during the same time period the poet was penning "Leaves of Grass," published in 1855. The novel's full title: "Life and Adventures of Jack Engle: An Auto-Biography (A Story of New York at the Present Time)."
Turpin called the book a twisting Dickensian tale of an orphan in New York City, a "bold and fascinating novel" that's "got everything you could possibly want," including a city mystery, a sensationalist romance, a villain (without the mustache) and "a little bit of blood and guts."
"This is Whitman's take on the city mystery novel, a popular genre of the day that pitted the 'upper 10 thousand' — what we would call the 1 percent — against the lower million," David S. Reynolds, a Whitman expert at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, told the New York Times.
On Monday, the book was published in full by the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review and is available as a book from the University of Iowa Press.
Though language in passages of the book mirror that of Whitman's magnum opus, the form and content are extremely different. Turpin told The Post this serves as "a good reminder that when he was writing 'Leaves of Grass,' he didn't really know what he was writing."
Whitman eventually chose to publish "Leaves of Grass" under his name and the novel anonymously.
The opening lines of the lost book are, "Candidly reader we are going to tell you a true story. The narrative is written in the first person; because it was originally jotted down by the principal actor in it, for the entertainment of a valued friend."
This, of course, was not the case. Turpin suspects he chose to obscure his authorship as a means of hiding his interest in fiction and journalism while en route to becoming a poet. After all, he said, "the poet of America can't also be potentially writing potboilers."
As noted in the New York Times, Whitman once wrote in 1882, "My serious wish were to have all those crude and boyish pieces quietly dropp'd in oblivion." Later, when he heard someone was interested in publishing his past fiction, he said, "I should almost be tempted to shoot him if I had an opportunity."
Clearly, Whitman hadn't expected Turpin, who previously uncovered another of the poet's serials, a 47,000 word self-help work titled, "Manly Health and Training."
Now Turpin is turning his attention to one of Whitman's most famous lost works, a long novel titled "The Sleeptalker." Whitman's letters contain multiple references to a completed draft, and Turpin said, "God knows that he probably wouldn't have thrown away a full manuscript."
Added Turpin,"This could be just the beginning."

Mission Six: Cannery part 5
Walkthrough - Mission Six: Cannery part 5
Unfortunately, dropping this shield will also allow enemies to pour into the room from the other side. However, reinforcements will only number perhaps a half-dozen, so you shouldn't have any issues in dealing with them. Since ammunition is now running low, no doubt, scour their bodies for MP43 ammunition before booking through the door, where you'll emerge outside. Some sort of supernatural Nazi gun is firing at you from your left, and believe it or not, you have to storm its position to continue. Move through the labyrinthine concrete barriers back and forth, dodging the large gun's rounds at all costs. Once you've flanked the gun, it can't fire, so run behind it. Before bearing leftward up a ladder to continue, keep running towards the corner, where a $100 bag of Gold is obscured by a staircase and some crates (18/20).
Now, climb up the nearby ladder to the control room for that large gun. As soon as you climb up the ladder, bear leftward and enter the room, having your firearm at the ready, as there are plenty of enemies, including yet another Nazi priest, waiting for you. Since the room is so small, you can chuck a potato masher or two to prime your entrance, and then equip Empower to cut through any shielded enemies. Once all foes are downed, collect the Intel tucked in the corner near the door (4/6), and then go to the gun's controls. You can fire the gun at the enemies ahead, which you should do first, but what you really need to do with this powerful weapon is actually fire at the four coils flanking the area below. These coils create power that charges the shield stopping you from using the door behind you and to your right, so once those coils are obliterated, you'll be able to continue.
Once through the previously-sealed door, there won't be anything too exciting for you to find right away. Run up the staircase to the floor above, and before bearing through the silver door you encounter, search behind some nearby crates, where a $100 bag of Gold can be found and acquired. With that in hand, you're then free to bust through the nearby door, where immediately ahead of you and on the right is a piece of Intel (5/6). Grab that, and then go through the door on your left to leave this small room. We're almost done here.
The next area you emerge in will be filled with more Nazi machinery. Speaking of which, seek out the far right corner from where you initially enter the room, where the mission's final batch of Gold can be found in the form of a $100 bag (20/20). Then, seek a way up to the catwalks surrounding the area, where you'll find a small office with a switch. Flip the switch, which will lower the shields below on the far end of the room. Head on through the now-open room, grabbing the mission's final piece of Intel from the floor on your left en route (6/6), and ultimately, you'll emerge in another new room, where a boss battle will take place following an extended cutscene.
The Nazi officer you fight here will turn into a monster, necessitating some clever thinking on just how to bring him down. Believe it or not, brute force isn't going to do it. After all, the more you damage him, the more he enters one of the Veil energy refilling stations and starts from scratch. The idea here is to use Veil to see the true monstrous form of this enemy. Fire at him ruthlessly until he takes enough damage that he goes to a refilling station, at which point you can break out a heavy weapon like a Panzerschrek (or simply use your MP43) and shoot at the red-glowing object above the station. This is how he's damaged. Repeat this process over and over again, and the enemy will fall. Of course, you will need to use these stations yourself to use Veil over and over again, but as long as you keep running around, steadily firing at the enemy while using Veil, he won't last very long. His projectile attacks are best avoided by jumping or crouching, which is the only real way he'll be able to damage you if you're on the run.

How It Works
|As hot flashes cause you to perspire, bacteria form in your garment causing odor.
|This breakthrough technology combined with moisture management keeps the fabric dry, fresh and comfortable even after your most intense night sweat.
|Our fabric is hydrophilic. It wicks perspiration away from the skin, moving moisture to the outer surface of the garment, where it evaporates.
|Many other fabrics are hydrophobic. They have chemical attraction to sweat and oily dirt, trapping moisture next to the skin.
|Our fabric is machine washable releasing stubborn stains and odors with no pretreatments.
|Other fabrics trap stains and odors. Over time, their look and smell deteriorates significantly.
|Our fabric prevents dirt and oil transfer in the wash cycle. With no soil redeposition, white stays white - wash after wash.
|Other fabrics pick up dirt and oil in the wash cycle, and white turns gray over time.

text: Gday All Marg's man here. I don't know why I'm still up (it's after 10 PM our time and I was first up this morning at 5 AM) after driving the lot across Sydney and doing my own turn as an extra. Hey the play needed an 'audience' and I was going to be there anyway. The filming went really well and difficult child 3 'done us proud'. There's no way they can cut his bit out without whole chunks of the movie. It's a paean to warrior mums and the scene they were in is central to the main plot. The film is a personal story and stars Toni Collette (Little Miss Sunshine, Sixth Sense)as the boys' mother. There are other stars but most of you won't know most of them because they are big in TV here. In the scene Thomas and another boy are in a play when the other boy has a meltdown due to all the noise and bright lights (WE know what that looks like, don't we?). After events that we still don't know about the brothers are reconciled and Thomas does the number WITH his brother. difficult child 1 plays a Rainbow Lorikeet (with the attitude of an English football hooligan - bright, noisy and totally insane i.e. Aspie); difficult child 2/easy child 2 gets up on her low stilts and plays a giraffe and difficult child 3 (with Marg as his 'wrangler') plays Noah on the ark. He introduces the 'show' and reacts when the meltdown occurs. Marg tells me that he thought it was for real during the first rehearsal and tried to jolly 'Charlie' out of it. Today he just got up and did his bit - take after take after take. Time came for him to stop (he too young for a full day under Actor's Equity rules) and he was worried they wouldn't be able to go on. We reassured him that they would use playback and he was cool with it. Just as well; because the bits involving me went on for another two or three hours and I was stuck in what turned out to be foreground - I usually hide when a camera comes out. This time I would have fogged the lens if I breathed hard! On top of all this Marg missed her medications and is now nearly bedridden with pain waiting for them to kick in having taken her daily dosage about 12 hours late. It's difficult child 3's birthday tomorrow (which is also Australia Day equivalent to 4 July) and we have yet another outing but this time it will be fun after a l-o-n-g sleep in! It will almost certainly get a world release later this year. We'll let you know when. Marg's Man

Generally in charge of everything
I've been playing video games since I was 6, and coding since I was 8, all beginning with a ZX Spectrum my parents bought. They made me promise that for every hour of games I played, I'd spend an hour learning to program too, and it worked out well.
I spent most of my professional time with web development and systems administration, producing a little game here and there as a hobby but never releasing much beyond my friends and family. However, after a back injury put me out of action and I couldn't go out and promote my new career choice of Hypnotherapy (yeah, figure that one out...) I turned towards games again, iterating through an idea again and again until it eventually became Spheretic.
In my spare time I enjoy playing the guitar, composing earworms in sunvox, and finding prepositions you can end sentences with.

I have a dysfunctional relationship with music. I like it for the most part, I own a hefty volume of albums and CDs (which are gathering dust) and I've been to my share of concerts. What I don't get, is what feels to me like a societal obsession with it. Most everyone I know is fanatical about music. And probably most everyone I don't know. A local band can play the same venue every single week and not bore their fan base. Hundreds of new releases can hit the market monthly and music fans keep scrambling to sort the wheat from the chaff; to claim a new artist as their "latest discovery". Americans are kookoo for American Idol.
Most public places pipe in music for atmosphere. I get my hair cut to european techno (cause with this new doo, I'll be able to pull off clubbing with Paris and Lindsay), I buy groceries to Vivaldi (because I'm so damned cultured for choosing 2% milk), and I watch baseball to Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks (cause I love freedom dammit). A road trip comes up short without an exhaustively planned mix of tunes. And now with MP3 players, there doesn't seem to be a minute of the day that isn't accompanied by a soundtrack.
My co-worker is one of the aforementioned obsessives. He pulls up to work listening to something new he just burned on CD, walks in the door humming whatever he had just been listening to (the humming and soft-singing continues off an on all day), furtively checks several music related websites on his lunch break, including researching whatever bands are playing that night. At the end of the day, he immediately heads over to the local music store to plug in and sample some new releases and then it's off to see a band at a local club til' 2:00am.
I really just don't get it.
What is it about music that keeps people of all ages so continually enthusiastic and engaged? It seems as if people just can't own enough of it. I'm amazed that there's a huge market for a portable device that will hold 5000 songs. I'd be hard-pressed to put together 100.
My experience of the music scene is like having over 1000 channels of cable television, of which most are over-hyped crap, and the thought of sorting through them all to find one good show is simply exhausting.
I know there are countless bands and albums out there that I would adore, but I just don't have any interest in doing the research. And I probably wouldn't make the time to listen them much if I did own them.
Ok, I know I'm a freak. I like silence actually. A lot. I won't wear jewelry, handbags or shoes that have jangly parts, because I hate to hear the rhythmic noise they create when I walk.
I rarely play music at home. I have a really hard time thinking clearly when too much outside noise interferes. I can't even sleep when any music is playing; my brain just refuses to disengage from it. So maybe it's the way I'm wired.
I appreciate good music, but I just don't necessarily feel the need to own it. I kind of enjoy randomly stumbling upon a song I haven't heard in years, but I'm more like the kind of fisherman who removes the hook and throws it back. Maybe I'll catch it again, maybe I won't.

Shopping spree in S-P
Don't go to Russia for shopping if your bank account doesn't contain at least 4 zeros. They say it's expensive, and it's true. If you have an opportunity to shop in Italy, better do it! But I was quite surprised when my sister showed me some so - called shops for 'family shopping' in Saint-Petersburg. It's far from the Nevskyi Prospect, the city center, but it's not a problem if you have a car. In my case it was not a problem at all. And after a couple of hours in traffic, I found myself in paradise. I picked up a few items just for nothing there! I love it cheap & chic! What about you?

Chasing down a Korengal lie shows why publishing beats 'un-publishing'
By ERNIE GATES | Stars and Stripes ombudsman | Published: September 8, 2015
Everybody knows how fast a lie can travel — "halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on," as that down-at-heel old saying puts it. These days, though, thanks especially to the Internet's long memory, lies aren't just fast, they last.
The story that led Stars and Stripes' weekend edition, though, proved that a determined band of soldiers can outlast the lie. In "Loss and Lies: A soldier's lie unravels 8 years later, opening old wounds," reporter Travis J. Tritten sets the record straight on a gripping — but false — Stripes war story from 2008, and shows that it's better by far to correct the record than to try to erase it. That is, it's better to publish than "un-publish."
The thoroughly reported and well-told tale reveals how a group of 10th Mountain Division soldiers never gave up on calling out fellow soldier Brandon Garrison for concocting a false and self-serving story about the death of their combat brother, Sgt. Christopher Wilson, in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley in 2007. Though he was nowhere near the site of the Taliban attack, Garrison told Wilson's mother that he held her son in his arms when he died, that he had held a pressure dressing against a stomach wound Wilson didn't actually have, that her son had died bravely and not in pain.
In an HBO documentary shot in 2007, "Section 60," he told a version of that lie at Wilson's grave in Arlington National Cemetery, actually being consoled by Wilson's father. And he told it in Stars and Stripes in 2008, when he was the central subject in a story about post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now, confronted by Tritten and by a television reporter in Kansas City, where he lives, Garrison admits he made up the story — a fabrication he attributes to his PTSD and medication at the time.
That admission was a long time coming.
Garrison's lie to Wilson's family especially enraged his fellow soldiers, and they say they tried to get HBO and Stripes to correct it back then but got no response, something I couldn't sort out. The rage re-surfaced every time Garrison, who had gone on to work as a veterans' advocate and wounded warrior spokesman in Kansas, found his way back into the news — doing Veterans Day interviews on TV, being honored in an NFL pre-game ceremony, getting a free house, a free service dog and, most recently, speculating in a Kansas City television report that he might be suffering from exposure to toxic smoke from burn pits in Afghanistan.
The Internet may have a long memory, but it also has a long reach. Garrison's former sergeant, Robbie Myers, and Wilson's fire team leader, Shane Wilkinson — two men who knew firsthand the facts of Wilson's death — mobilized their unit members again, by phone, via email and especially on Facebook. They and others took their case to FOX-4 TV News in Kansas City and called me at Stripes. Some wanted Garrison's hide, and those Facebook comments get pretty nasty. But others didn't question Garrison's health issues, or doubt that he suffers from PTSD — it's too real for too many, and they weren't going to minimize it. They just wanted him to admit that he lied about Wilson.
Talking with Myers and others, I found their recollections and argument especially credible and persuasive. My initial impression was that the 2008 story might be that rare case that actually deserves to be "un-published" — expunged from the Stars and Stripes archive, so the many links on the Web would go to a dead end. It is a nicely wrought tale, right down to the heart-tugging ending in which Garrison and his then-wife, Lily, name their newborn son Christopher. But Garrison's fantasy of Wilson's death is so central to the 2008 story that the whole thing dissolves into untruth.
But what did Garrison say? I couldn't reach him, but a TV reporter in Kansas City went to his home. Reluctantly, he admitted he hadn't been with Wilson when he died. Stripes ran the resulting TV report in the video window on stripes.com.
That on-camera admission triggered the next steps, and Stripes Editor Terry Leonard made the right call. He was committed to setting the record straight, not erasing part of it. And, like the experienced journalist he is, he'd withhold judgment until it checked out. If new reporting showed that the 2008 story was wrong, then Stripes would fix the record. Maybe with a correction in the archive. Maybe with a fresh story altogether. He handed that question over to Tina Croley, managing editor for content, and Tritten's reporting took it from there.
The result was a story in its own right — not just a correction to the 2008 story, though it accomplishes that with a link to the original (and the digital archive will be amended with an editor's note on the old story, and a link to the new one). Tritten delivered a revealing front-page story, including the true account of the attack in which Christopher Wilson died, the effect on his mother of both the lie and the admission of the lie, Garrison's tangled health issues and local "status" as a wounded warrior, and all the complicated, unresolvable recollections and emotions that link back to that attack in the Korengal Valley. Finally, it is a story of how the persistence of Garrison's lie was no match for the persistence of Wilson's comrades-in-arms in their pursuit of the truth.
Stripes, too, is in the business of truth, not untruth. And that means it's in the business of publishing, not "un-publishing."

It's 19 wins out of 19 for Barnard Castle School this season - which means they are the top-rated Under-18s team in the country.
So Saturday's National Under-18s Cup semi-final clash with Gloucestershire's St Peter's High School at Castlecroft should be a mere formality with a date at Twickenham to follow.
But coach Martin Pepper doesn't believe a word of it! "I know the statistics mean we are the best, but they are only statistics," said Pepper.
"The teams we play, although very tough on our circuit, are different teams than they play in the south, so it is only a guide. And we know it is going to be a very, very difficult tie," said Pepper, who used to play for Harlequins, Nottingham, Bedford and Headingley. "I went to watch them in their quarter-final against Whitgift School and they looked very impressive." St Peter's were 19-7 winners over Whitgift, but Barnard Castle had a much more convincing 44-10 win at Old Swinford Hospital School to earn the right to face St Peter's on Saturday.
Full-back James Hamer and outside centre Mathew Tait both scored hat-tricks while scrum-half Stuart Walker and second row Lee Dickson also crossed and Tait added two conversions. "We have done very well this season, and everyone at the school is very excited, but I am trying to keep everyone calm," said Pepper.
Hamer and Tait have both been selected in the England Schools squad, while skipper Lee Dickson just missed out, and Ross Batty has been included in the England Under-16s squad.
They will go into the tie strong favourites, and the victors will face the winners of the other tie between Campion School (Essex) and Oakham School (Leicestershire).

Kali is a weapon based training method and uses long and short rattan cane to replace the swords, knives, and spears in basic training. As skill increases so does the use of real weapons. There are 12 categories of weaponry in Kali from single and double sword to projectile weapons, healing arts, as well as empty hand techniques.

September 2014
In the interest of improving the transparency of financial reporting by public sector employers and health plans, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued two Exposure Drafts1 that would amend GASB Statements: No. 43, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, and No. 57, OPEB Measurements by Agent Employers and Agent Multiple-Employer Plans. The Exposure Drafts also would supersede the requirements of Statement No. 25, Financial Reporting for Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans, and No. 50, Pension Disclosures, for defined contribution OPEB plans.
This Bulletin summarizes the key proposed changes in the Exposure Drafts, which are intended to provide a more comprehensive picture of the costs associated with state and local governments' OPEB promises. If GASB decides to include the changes it has proposed in final Statements, sponsors of public sector plans will face significant additional work in order to prepare their financial statements. Segal Consulting's comments to GASB on the Exposure Drafts2 suggested several modifications to ease that burden.
Actuarial valuations would be required at least biennially for plans with 100 or more participants. Current standards require plans with fewer than 200 participants to perform triennial valuations. Plans with fewer than 100 participants would be offered an alternative measurement method to do their calculations.
GASB is proposing the following changes for plans and sponsoring employers:
The OPEB expense would be defined as the change in the net OPEB liability from year to year with some limited deferrals allowed.
For employers that provide insured benefits through an arrangement where premiums are paid to an insurance company while employees are in active service and the insurance company takes on the obligation to pay OPEB in retirement, the Exposure Draft requires recognition of OPEB expense equal to the amount of annual contributions or premiums required by the agreement with the insurance company. In addition to the amount of OPEB expense/expenditures recognized in the current period, a brief description of the benefits provided through the arrangement are required to be disclosed.
Cost-sharing employers4 would be required to disclose their proportionate share of the collective net OPEB liability and expense and their contributions to the Plan. Cost-sharing employers must also disclose all of the items listed in the next section for their proportionate share.
Notes to financial statements would be required to include:
Required Supplementary Information would have to include the following information, determined as of the measurement date, for each of the 10 most recent fiscal years:
The proposed effective date for the Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans Exposure Draft is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The proposed effective date for the Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions Exposure Draft is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early implementation is encouraged, but the changes will not take place until GASB releases final Statements in June 2015.

For more information about GASB's OPEB Exposure Drafts or assistance in working with auditors to determine the potential impact of the proposed requirements on plans and practices, contact your Segal Consulting benefits consultant or one of the following experts:
1 Both Exposure Drafts — "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions" and "Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans." — can be accessed from GASB's website: http://www.gasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=GASB%2FPage%2FGASBSectionPage&cid=1175804830991
2 See the following page of Segal's website.
3 Beginning in 2018, the Affordable Care Act imposes a 40 percent excise tax on the cost of high-cost health plans above a certain threshold. The base thresholds for 2018 are $10,200 for self-only coverage and $27,500 for all other coverage tiers, with higher thresholds available for certain participants.
4 Cost-sharing employers are those whose employees are provided a defined benefit OPEB plan through a multiple employer plan in which the OPEB obligations to the employees of more than one employer are pooled and plan assets can be used to pay the benefits of the employees of any employer that provides OPEB through the OPEB plan.

Watch: 'ATM' Trailer Shows Killer Withdrawal Fees are the Least of Your Banking Worries
It's been two years since ATM first blipped onto our radars, but at long last we've got our first official full trailer for the upcoming thriller.
Written by Buried screenwriter Chris Sparling, and starring Alice Eve, Josh Peck, and Brian Geraghty, the film is about three friends who stop at an enclosed, out-of-the-way ATM machine and become trapped when a strange man with an ax turns up outside. Hm…people trapped in an enclosed location? We might be starting to sense a recurring theme in Sparling's work.
While we liked Buried (which benefited greatly from Ryan Reynolds' tortured performance and some inventive direction from Rodrigo Cortes), we're not entirely sold on ATM. Just watching the trailer has us questioning this premise. Why is there an enclosed ATM in the middle of what appears to be a gigantic empty parking lot? Why do all three people go to the machine together? If the ATM is inside a glass enclosure, and some of that glass has been busted out already, who cares if the guy starts pumping in water? Why does the strange assailant look like the killer from Urban Legend? These are just a few of the questions we had during the two-minute preview. Hopefully the film answers them in a plausible way. If not, film fans may well find ATM is overdrawn at the plausibility bank.
No word yet on when ATM will land in theaters, but judging by the trailer, sometime in 2012 seems a safe bet. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Since I got divorced 7 years ago I decided to join various online dating sites. It was fun, meeting new people, it boosted my confidence and got me really discovering what I liked and didn't like, what worked and didn't work. Over a few years I had a variety of relationships, short and long, good and bad, but all of which taught me so much about myself, where I needed to grow, to heal. Last year seemed to be the most intense with so much incredible growth sometimes a lot of pain. It ended in a very gentle relationship which went nowhere, and by the end I had had enough of love and relationships. It was then that I gave up looking. Enough of dating sites, enough of looking, I was sick of dating. I'd just get on with my life and leave it up to destiny to bring me what I needed and what was right for me.
Two weeks later I was on the phone to an old friend, something seemed to flow, and after putting the phone down I realized there was chemistry between us and I really missed his voice. Minutes later I received a text from him saying my very thoughts. Very quickly things snowballed. It was as if someone had given me a key that opened a door to paradise. With every word he said my love grew stronger, with every sentence he ticked another virtual box in my head, the feelings were reciprocated, and within days we knew this was IT. We hadn't seen each other for 5 years but we knew and felt it.
But this blog isn't about my love life, it is about giving up control and allowing the Universe to bring you what you need. I realized through the dating game I had been controlling the situation which is why I never seemed to find the right one, as I was making the choice, and not allowing the choice to come to me and once I gave that up, love came.
This, I feel, is how we need to live our lives, to stop chasing to have something, but just to be. The importance is being not doing. Being happy, joyful, thankful. The idea is to be working on the vibration of your energy, always moving up to higher vibrations of energy, and just allowing. Keep moving forward, without striving. In doing so the Universe brings to you all that is needed for you at this time. If we are endlessly striving for goals, for this and for that, we are no longer in the presence of now. It's like driving a car so fast down the motorway that we don't see the beautiful countryside, we miss the interesting villages. We need to start slowing down and enjoying the now.
We can intend on a direction, like for example, to have a loving relationship, we need to put the intention out there, and work it into our everyday life, by making space for love for example, or getting out and having fun socializing. But to go chasing after the dream will just take it further away.
The same for your life, we can intend for direction, for example to live our passion, and then just do what you love doing with it. Just be happy doing what you love, but don't strive so much that you miss opportunities on the way. I have found that the more I relax back with the intention the more opportunities come to me out of the blue. As an image see it as strolling down the country lane, picking flowers on the way to your destination, maybe someone will come and give you a lift for example, instead of driving at full speed down the motorway and seeing nothing.
This is where Dream boards work- putting out the intention and then getting on with life in the best vibration possible. This reminds of the vision I was given during moments of difficulty. A vision of handlebars. I was told to let go of the handle bars and just peddle!
During my coaching sessions this is exactly where I come from-not the classical reaching for goals, but from an an energetic point of view, being in the now.
So go on, go for that stroll through life and let the magic unfold!

Ride sourcing
From 7 November 2016, ride-sourcing services have been permitted in Tasmania, subject to a range of conditions.
Ride-sourcing platform providers Uber, Shebah and Oscar have commenced operations in Tasmania. You can visit the platform provider's website to find out more:
- Uber - uber.com/en-AU/drive/hobart/get-started/
- Shebah - shebah.com.au/
- Oscar – www.oscarrideshare.com.au
How do I use Ride-sourcing Services in Tasmania?
Ride-sourcing services are pre-booked via a smart phone booking application and payment system. You need to download an 'app' to use the service.
The driver is required to hold a current Ancillary Certificate, which means they have been assessed as being a fit and proper person to operate a Public Passenger Vehicle (PPV).
All ride sourcing vehicles are required to have undergone a vehicle inspection within the last 12 months.
Note: Ride-sourcing vehicles will not be able to:
- use taxi ranks
- accept jobs from passengers 'hailing' in the street
- solicit for passenger trade on a public street (for example by parking your car and calling out to people).
What can I do if I am not happy with the service provided by a Ride-source driver?
If you have a complaint which is of a serious or criminal nature you should contact Tasmania Police immediately all other complaints should be lodged with the platform provider through their on-line application.
If you are not happy with the response you receive from the platform provider, you can send a complaint in writing to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. You should include as much detail (time, place, event etc.) as possible.
The complaint should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I apply to be a Ride-source driver?
If you want to become a ride-sourcing driver the Department strongly suggests you contact a ride sourcing platform provider before commencing the application process.
The provider will be able to let you know if you and your car are eligible to drive using their platform.
If you do meet the platform providers requirements you will be required to obtain an Ancillary Certificate and comply with all conditions and requirements of the Transport Commission exemption.
Passenger Transport Services Act 2011 - Exemption Notice (DOCX, 15.17 KB)
Regulatory requirements for operators
The platform provider will be able to help you with completing all the necessary requirements and can – with your consent - lodge your Ancillary Certificate application on your behalf. Steps you need to complete to become a ride-sourcing driver in Tasmania.
You will not be able to provide any ride-sourcing services until you have received confirmation from the Department of State Growth that your application was successful.
If you have a question email email@example.com
What is a Platform Provider?
A platform provider is an entity that gives access to allow a ride source driver to deliver ride services, via a booking system, to the public. However they must meet certain requirements as laid out in the Transport Commission's exemption.
The ride-sourcing platform providers currently oversee ride-sourcing drivers in Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Government welcomes other platform providers, however any platform provider providing such a service must comply with the exemption.
If you intend to launch a ride-source platform in Tasmania or would like more information about the requirements contact Industry Policy, Department of State Growth on (03) 6166 3464.

#ZTE has freshly announced the latest addition to the Axon family – the Axon 7 Mini. The device is "Mini" only in name as it features a relatively large 5.2-inch display, although it's smaller than its siblings in the lineup. The device will reach North American shelves soon, although the company hasn't shared more details on that as of yet.
The Chinese manufacturer has mentioned that the phone will be available in Russia, Germany, Spain, Poland, Japan, Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia for about €299 ($335), which is pretty reasonable given the hardware on board. Expect the pricing to be rounded off to $300 or $350 when the phone reaches the U.S. (whenever that might be).
The Axon 7 Mini comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p display, an octa-core Snapdragon 617 SoC, a 16-megapixel camera on the back, an 8-megapixel front camera, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable), Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and a 2,705 mAh battery. The handset also comes equipped with a fingerprint (or voice print) scanner, a USB Type-C port and dual-speakers.
Fancy getting one of these?

Thanks for this great software
When we receive an e-mail alert, we have IP address, MAC address, date and time.
I think device name would be also useful to have: sometimes, we can identify device immediately just with its name ("macbook-of-johndoe", "companyname-pc005", ...).
If the unknown device disconnects before I'm back on my computer, I'll never know what this device was, who owns this device, except new connection later with the same MAC address - "File/All devices" menu doesn't show device name. With the device name in the e-mail or in "File/All devices" menu, if this device is not allowed, I can blacklist this MAC address even 2 days after connection, just by checking my mailbox.
Feature request: include device name in the e-mail alert

Sexual Assault Is On The Rise. And The Government Has Cut Funding To The Sexual Assault Helpline
Women who have been sexual assaulted will no longer be able to instantly access highly trained therapists over the phone.
From July 1, women who call 1800 RESPECT – Australia's primary domestic violence and sexual assault hotline – will not be connected to psychologists who have a tertiary degree and at least three years working in trauma services.
Instead they will speak to someone who is less experienced and less qualified and put on hold before being transferred to another area.
The change comes soon after the news that sexual assaults are on the rise in NSW.
The funding cut to 1800 RESPECT was highlighted on The Project last night.
Host Carrie Bickmore pointed out that entrusting less experienced staff to field calls from traumatised women could be dangerous. "A lot of experts have said today that you can do more harm in inappropriately answering than not answering at all.
She added "If a woman has got the guts to finally call and then she gets sent somewhere else or has to tell her story again or gets sent a fact sheet then that might be it. She may never call again. She may never speak up again."
As co-host Waleed Aly pointed out: "We found $6 million to fund [steam train] Puffing Billy, why wouldn't we find that money and fund this properly?"

Portfolio Insurance and Technical Analysis Before the October 1987 Black Monday Stock Market Crash
After the stock market crash on October 19, 1987, both individual and institutional investors were asked about their "Investor Psychology" on "Black Monday" and what triggers kept them in or out of the market that day.
1. No news story or rumor appearing on October 19th or over the preceding weekend was responsible for investor behavior.
2. Investors' importance rating of news appearing over the preceding week showed only a slight relation to decisions to buy or sell.
3. There was a great deal of investor talk and anxiety around October 19 due to valuation — much more than suggested by the volume of trade.
4. Many investors thought that they could predict the market through technical analysis.
5. Both buyers and sellers generally thought before the crash that the market was overvalued due to technical factors.
6. Most investors interpreted the crash as due to the psychology of other investors.
7. Many investors were influenced by technical analysis considerations.
8. Portfolio insurance was only a small part of predetermined stop-loss behavior.
9. Some investors changed their investment strategy before the crash because of valuation.
Reviewing the "Technical Analysis" — the moving average orientation throughout most of 1987 was in the "Most Bullish Orientation" possible as price continued to 'bounce' off the 20 and 50 EMAs.
However, this structure changed in September. Price formed a slight negative momentum divergence going into the 1987 price high in late August. Price then retraced, breaking EMA support just as it had in April & May, which only serves as a warning rather than an official "Trend Change" signal.
Was it forecast by technical analysis? No but at a minimum, technical analysis warned of greater downside odds than upside odds, though again it's easier to anticipate the possible direction of a move rather than the magnitude of the move.

O2 are trying to help connect teachers and students with the launch of their brand new website O2 learn. Aimed at 13-18 year olds the site's objective is to provide a way of helping students with revision or an opportunity to catch up in subjects that they might have missed or find difficult through access to free educational videos. The site encourages teachers to share inspirational teaching styles and approaches by uploading their best mini-lessons on camera. They are looking for clever ways of remembering things or understanding more complex processes.
O2 have made the site as safe as possible in relation to the moderation process. Only registered teachers can post visitors and every video and comment is read and moderated. Indeed no one is able to comment until they register and agree to the terms.
Twice a month, the video with the highest ratings and most view win a prize – £2,000 for themselves and £2,000 for their school. During the summer of 2011, a panel of education experts will choose 8 finalists who will eligible for winning the big prize of £50,000 for themselves and £100,000 for the school. (a second prize of 20,000 for the teacher and £40,000 for the school and a third prize of £10,000 for the teacher and £20,000 for the school will also be awarded). Winners are to be announced in October 2011, based 50% on the public vote and 50% on a panel of experts.

About us
The cultural model of a company is the basis for its innovative ability. Our work atmosphere is one that encourages creativity but also demands high quality products and service. All employees play an active role in the continuous optimization of products and processes. We have made it our business to constantly research and develop new and innovative components produced not only in-house, but also as a distributor of products offered by well-known international manufacturers.
Our Brands
LASER COMPONENTS is a powerful trade name: internationally renowned, LC stands for quality and individual service that extends from OEM development to the series production of products available long term. Our first priority is our customer: we have competent service partners who are available when you need them to field your inquiries. On this page, we will provide information on our EU trademarks.
Corporate Branding
We have stayed true to our logo since the founding of our company in 1982. The figurative mark was officially registered as a trademark in 1993.
Photonics News®
We have been informing our customers about new developments in the photonics world since November of 1991. What started out as an informational pamphlet called "News" was developed into a full-fledged newsletter and christened Photonics News® in October of 1996. Almost 20 years later, we made the next big leap by developing an informative magazine that has been issued up to three times a year since September of 2015.
The "Photonics News®" trademark was officially registered in 2009.
Product Branding
FLEXPOINT® is the brand name of the laser modules developed by LASER COMPONENTS. What started out as a figurative mark in 1993 became the FLEXPOINT® trademark in 2007. We have been manufacturing laser modules since 1987; in 2010, we began production at two different facilities – one near Lake Constance and one at the headquarters in Olching.
In order to count single photons, do not miss out on our COUNT® modules. These single photon counters are a successful example of our corporate development and we have been the proud owner of the COUNT® trademark since 2012.
We have requested proposals from all of our branch offices in the search for a name for our fiber couplers. This is yet another example of our corporate development. The name FiberKey® prevailed, and the trademark was registered in 2016.
We do not often register a trademark for individual components; however, these pulsed laser diodes are extraordinary: QuickSwitch® PLDs have a pulse of a few ns and are, therefore, extremely fast. They have earned their trademark name, which was developed for market introduction in 2018.
The ALBALUX® brand name immediately shows what it is all about: "white light". In 2019, we once again created a product that covers our competencies from various development areas. The white light module is proof of our innovative strength in optoelectronics and fiber technology.

I checked the tag and it had my birthday on it – Oct 16! (mark your calendars) so I KNEW it was written in the stars for me to purchase for only five dollhairs. I'm just sad that there wasn't two of them for me to fashion into a dress. The picture really doesn't do this fine piece of art any justice as the mysterious woman on it is clearly not photogenic and appears bloated on camera. You will just have to trust me on this one. Maybe it's a magic carpet since there's been a ton of genie lamp rubbing going on…let us sing.

Alabama Touts Path to Appalachian Trail in Georgia
Alabama Touts Path to Appalachian Trail in Georgia
If tourism officials in Alabama had their way, the southern end of the Appalachian Trail would be in their state. Their hopes are bound up in a natural path that connects the famous trail where it now officially ends in Georgia to the Appalachian Mountains in Alabama.
The conservationist Benton MacKaye in 1921 envisioned the Appalachian Trail as a refuge from the urban environs of the East Coast. Now, the Alabama Pinhoti trail meanders 115 miles to the Georgia border — ultimately to Springer Mountain, the original southern endpoint of the AT in Georgia.
Tom Cosby of the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce says the original northern endpoint was in New Hampshire, but it was officially extended. The same, he says, could happen in Alabama.
Cosby says state officials haven't officially asked for the trail to be extended into Alabama, but they hope it will become sort of a de facto end and eventually be recognized.
Georgia officials at a state park near Springer Mountain say they have no position on the Alabama plan — which could siphon hikers and tourist dollars away. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy has not taken an official stand, either, but Executive Director David Startzell says such a move would require an act of Congress.
"It would have to be an amendment to the National Trails System Act, which provides a fairly general description of the route of the trail, but it's detailed enough that clearly an extension into Alabama wouldn't fit the current definition," Startzell says.
The National Trails System Act of 1968 places the endpoints at Mount Katahdin, Maine, and Springer Mountain, so the wording would have to be changed. Regardless, the Alabama Pinhoti is there for the hiking. No matter what it's called, it is an uninterrupted path all the way to Maine.
Steve Chiotakis reports from member station WBHM in Birmingham.
