Cal Ready for Fresno State Game
March 16, 2001
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - After watching almost every other team in the NCAA Tournament play its first round game, Cal will finally get underway in the South Regional when the eighth-seeded Bears play No. 9 seed Fresno State at approximately 7:10 p.m. Pacific Time tonight (9:10 p.m. local time).
Cal went through two workouts Thursday, first for 90 minutes on the University of Memphis campus, then in a 50-minute open practice on the court at the Pyramid.
Games in Memphis start this morning when Gonzaga meets Virginia and Oklahoma plays Indiana State. Cal's game will follow the Michigan State-Alabama State match-up.
Although every Cal player is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, the team has seemed loose throughout its visit and is trying to treat the game as normal as possible. The only difference appears to be the number of players who brought camcorders to video as much of the trip as possible.
'The mistake a lot of players make when they get to this level is they forget to enjoy the experience,' head coach Ben Braun said. 'It is important for our players to enjoy it. It is important that a player like (Sean) Lampley has a great experience.'
As has been the case all year, Fresno State is concerned about the impact Lampley can have on the game, and his battle with WAC Player of the Year Melvin Ely could be a big factor in determining the outcome against the Bulldogs.
'He is a fabulous player,' Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkanian said of Lampley. 'He is a great playmaker and the offense runs through him. He is like a point-forward. Larry Bird was a point-forward. Lampley is a guy who can lead the team in assists.'
The winner of the Cal-Fresno State game will likely face defending NCAA champion Michigan State in the second round. That game tips off at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time. If the Bears win, the radio broadcast will move to 910 AM so 960 AM can air an Oakland A's game.

Choose Your Adventure
Choose Your Adventure
This bright, inviting brochure creatively shares different opportunities available to serve with Wycliffe including internships, events, membership and more. Each opportunity is creatively presented as a "door."
"Choose Your Adventure" is great for college campuses and conferences! Use it with anyone searching for their place in God's great adventure and looking to take their next step with us.
How many do you need? Wycliffe literature is available at no cost to you other than shipping. Help us be good stewards of this finite resource by only requesting what you need. A good rule of thumb for most events is to order one (1) piece of literature per ten people at your upcoming event. If it is 200, ask for 20; if it is 2,000, ask for 200. If it is a small group venue, such as a small group/life group Bible study, one per person might be a good idea, but for a large event you only need about one per 10 people.

If you drove up to the normal-looking Sterling Heights business park that ActivMotion calls home, you likely wouldn't think that a world-class fitness tool used by celebrities and sports stars alike was designed and manufactured within. But it is. Just beyond a main office and studio, you'll find two men producing hundreds of ActivMotion Bars, a simple yet brilliant exercise solution that is sparking a revolution in the health and wellness community around the world. So what exactly is this innovative tool? From the outside, the patented ActivMotion Bar looks like a standard weighted bar. But hidden within are rolling steel weights that create active resistance by moving from one side of the bar to the other. Caps on the ends hold everything in place and allow the user to perform a variety of muscle strengthening exercises.
While this may sound like any other fitness tool, ActivMotion Bar focuses on improving balance and stability, two areas that are sometimes overlooked in a normal exercise routine. Think about it. When you work out, you likely run, lift weights and stretch. Those are all great activities, but they don't always help your balance. And according to experts, good balance is essential for having a healthy and fulfilling life. It gives us the ability to walk and climb stairs and can also help prevent falls. So as you can see, performing exercises that focus on building core strength and balance are important. Which is where the ActivMotion Bar comes in. Holding the bar, you can feel the movement of the rolling weights. It takes focus and control to grip it in manner where they remain centered, forcing weaker muscles to work harder to stabilize themselves. Combine this with other exercise and users of the bar become stronger in ways not previously achieved.
The individual behind this fitness innovation is Derek Mikulski, a trainer with a degree in exercise science and public health. While employed at a local gym, Derek began thinking about different ways he could work with his clients to better match the natural movements of everyday life. You see, in the gym, we move in isolation, but outside of that setting, we move in more 3-dimensional ways. Knowing this, Derek imagined a handheld tool filled with ball bearings that would make exercise more dynamic and functional. He then went to a hardware store and built a prototype ActivMotion Bar out of PVC pipe. Clients that used that first bar were immediately on board with the idea, helping Derek raise the funding to pursue the mass production of the tool.
After two years of prototyping and testing, the ActivMotion Bar organization was up and running and the tool was on the market. Today, the bar is made in a variety of weights and people around the world are responding with enthusiasm. Close to 2,000 are sold every month, with distribution to 30 different countries – figures that allowed Derek to open his Sterling Heights headquarters. The facility houses his business office, production facility and a fitness studio where exercise videos and tutorials are filmed.
From this base, Derek and five other employees are working to take the ActivMotion business to the next level. The first step is getting the bar into the hands of exercise and fitness influencers, something already underway. Currently, the ActivMotion Bar is used by celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson (whose clients include Kim Kardashian and Hugh Jackman), trainers for various sports teams (including the White Sox, Lions, Tigers, UofM and FSU) and physical therapists at some of the country's top medical facilities (including the Mayo Clinic). These credentials alone show the bar's effectiveness, but Derek and his team have taken it one step further. In 2015, they partnered with the University of Michigan's Human Performance Innovation Lab on a study aimed at providing insights into muscle activation differences when using a variety of weighted exercise equipment. Results of the study showed the ActivMotion Bar performing significantly better than a standard bar or medicine ball – with seven of the nine muscles analyzed showing greater activation while using the tool.
Studies like UofM's add further credibility for ActivMotion Bar and help push it forward towards greater success and market reach. So what's next for Derek and his growing fitness company? Well, the first item on the agenda is innovating and expanding the ActivMotion product line – something that can now be explored due to a recent Kickstarter campaign that raised $40,000 in 36 days. He'll also work on expanding his team of nationwide trainers that are experts in the ActivMotion Bar and offer classes using the tool. Perhaps there's even future studies and collaborations in the works too, but above all else, Derek is focused on getting the bar into the hands of new users around the world. Which could be just about anyone. Gymnasts, dancers, football players, baseball players, older adults and physical therapists. The ActivMotion Bar can help just about every demographic. It even has the potential to change the very nature of how we train our bodies, with the end result being a stronger and healthier world. And while that may sound like an exaggeration, it's certainly a positive goal. One that got its start in a Sterling Heights business park.

Tracking California conducted a study to examine the use of agricultural pesticides near public schools in 15 agricultural counties in California for 2010.
The study yielded new information about the types and amounts of pesticides applied near public schools and identified disparities among children attending schools near the most pesticide use.
This information has been used to help guide policies, research, and other efforts to reduce potential pesticide exposures among schoolchildren. The results of this study are described in the report Agricultural Pesticide Use Near Public Schools in California.
California agriculture produces nearly half of all fruits and vegetables grown in the Unites States. These foods are essential components of a healthful diet and help promote public health here and throughout the country. However, agricultural production frequently relies on the application of pesticides that, under some circumstances, can be hazardous to human health. Compared with adults, children are more susceptible to the effects of pesticide exposure.
Because of the potential public health risks to children, we examined the use of selected agricultural pesticides near public schools in the top 15 counties by agricultural pesticide use in California for 2010. Our goals were to improve the methodology for the ongoing surveillance of agricultural pesticides to understand pesticide use patterns and provide information that can be used to assess and inform efforts to minimize potential pesticide exposures among schoolchildren.
For this study we estimated agricultural pesticide use near 2,511 public schools- attended by over 1.4 million students- in the 15 counties with the highest total reported agricultural pesticide use in 2010. We linked geographic school data to over 2.3 million pesticide use records using the following approach:
Step 1: Identify school boundaries The locations of school property boundaries were determined using GIS and satellite imagery. Once school boundaries were confirmed, a Ľ mile distance was drawn around each school boundary.
Step 2: Enhance pesticide application data Records of pesticide applications (from the Department of Pesticide Regulation's Pesticide Use Reports) were linked with other data, including field locations and crop information, to better pinpoint where the pesticides were applied. Eighty percent (80%) of PUR records were successfully matched to field-location data provided by county agricultural commissioners. The remaining PUR records were matched to fields based on Department of Water Resources land-use surveys (19% of PUR records). Only 1% of records could not be geographically enhanced beyond the square mile Public Land Survey Sections already reported in the PUR.
Step 3: Link pesticide application data with school boundary data The enhanced pesticide application data were then overlaid with the school boundary data to determine where pesticide applications likely occurred within Ľ mile of a school. After calculating how much of the field overlapped the area located within Ľ mile of the school boundary, area-weighted apportionment was used to estimate how much of a specific pesticide was used in the area of overlap for any given pesticide application. For example, if 10% of a field overlapped with the Ľ-mile area around a school boundary, it was then estimated that 10% of the pesticides applied on that field was used within Ľ mile of the school. Using this information, the types and amounts of pesticides used within Ľ mile of a school were determined.
Caveats and Limitations: When apportioning pesticide use based on the area of overlap between the field and the Ľ mile area around the school, the study methodology assumed that pesticides were applied evenly across the entire field. There may be situations in which pesticides were unevenly or selectively applied, which could result in an overestimation or underestimation of the actual pounds applied within Ľ mile of a school. For example, if part of a field fell within Ľ mile of a school and if pesticides were not used on that portion of the field (e.g., in compliance with an existing regulation), this methodology would still assign some pesticide use to that portion.
Study Findings
Results are described in the report, executive summary, and FAQs. Key findings included:
This study assessed the presence of a potential health hazard (i.e., agricultural pesticides) near a vulnerable population. This information can help guide policies and other efforts to minimize pesticide exposures of schoolchildren and design future public health research. However, the presence of pesticide use near a school does not mean that exposure has occurred or that the health of any child or adult has been impacted.
Study Impacts
Our report, subsequent community organizing and advocacy activities, and public input resulted in CDPR establishing new regulations to address pesticide use near schools and child day care facilities. Additionally, several school districts have subsequently adopted their own policies related to pesticide use near schools, citing our report.

Danville Is Going to the Dogs
Colorful canines take over downtown in a new public art exhibition.
"I want to bring a happy moment to [people's] lives," says Pleasanton-based artist Claudette McDermott, who created this dog, called Butterfly Beauty.

In Danville, even the pups are coming out to enjoy the summer sun. Dogs of Danville, Unleashed!, a public art exhibition opening this month, features 15 fiberglass dog statues, each a life-size representation of a standing or sitting petite Labrador retriever, on view in front of downtown businesses.
Stirred by San Francisco's famous heart statues and a similar exhibition of jackrabbits in Vacaville, as well as resident requests for more public art, Danville's arts commissioners chose to honor the town's unofficial favorite animal at a time when seasonal visitors can enjoy the sculptures too.
All the artists participating in the show are based in the Bay Area. "In Danville alone, there are so many artists," says Marija Nelson Bleier, the town's visual arts program coordinator. "People can see who their neighbor artists are and what kind of work they're doing—and show support for artists in the Bay Area."
The dogs are vibrant and varied—and often come from unique inspirations. Julia Albo, an artist from Orinda, based her design on a pillowcase her family inherited from her grandparents. "[It's] about things you might overlook, but then you take a moment and appreciate them," she says. "That is sort of how it is with life, and it's a nice message."
In September, at the end of the show, the Village Theatre and Art Gallery plans to hold a closing ceremony, where all the dogs will be displayed together, then auctioned to raise funds for Danville's next public art presentation.
"It's really art for everyone," Nelson Bleier says. "These dogs are a fun, approachable way to engage people in public art and foster appreciation for art in a non-intimidating way that fits the small-town America feel of Danville."
Dogs of Danville, Unleashed! is on view May 9 through September 19. danville.ca.gov.

It's Official
I've fallen in love with Sydney. It happens as soon as you step off the plane, but blooms fully the first time you stand in Sydney harbor...one of the most stunningly beautiful collisions of city and sea on the face of the earth. Adding to the warmth and allure of the city was the welcome of the amazing people of Hillsong Church/Conference. Though Passion (as a movement) is not too well known in Australia, they graciously carved out a place for Eddie and me during the days of the conference. And the conference was great, but I was overwhelmed most by how well these guys do what they do. Everything was done with incredible excellence...and the heartbeat of their culture is irresistible.
Thanks for your prayers during these days. Sitting in LA with one more leg to go before home I'm surprised at how relatively easy the trip/time adjustment has been. I could sense God's breath in the sessions I spoke in and was personally impacted during the days on many levels. God has been kind.
After a brief pit stop in ATL, it's off to a cozy little camp with CTomlin and about 7000 teens in Florida. So don't stop praying now! LG

"I took part in the Management DX simulations and wanted to thank you for the experience. It helped me hone in on different skills I need to work on outside of my clinical knowledge and gave insight on ways to improve with our team.
One thing you mentioned which stuck out was talking about not taking our leadership roles for granted. I started in the department I oversee as a frontline caregiver and now am in the director position. I am trying to balance the personal relationships I developed over the years with the need to put us all on the right path. The strategies we reviewed were empowering and will help with my own confidence level in getting things accomplished. Your description of the timeline being in leadership was accurate on how I have felt at times. Things definitely will be different moving forward utilizing the techniques you presented, thank you!."
Adam Brill, Director of Rehabilitation Services
"The 2018 DX Symposium was an opportunity for me to step back, listen, engage, and open up to expand my leadership perspective. There are many dimensions to leadership, and the challenge for modern leaders is keeping up with the high expectations of our colleagues, our peers, the board and stakeholders, while change is accelerating around and through us. I've incorporated a few ideas and best practices from the 2018 DX Symposium that are impacting professional and personal relationships in a positive manner. As humans, we need to dedicate ourselves to learning and seeking ways to improve.
Two key improvements I implemented from the 2018 DX Symposium:
- From Harry Kramer's key note, I started journaling so I can reflect on my values through my actions, my words, and my intent. This has been effective because it transposed my thoughts and mindfulness into a tangible record of my conscience to overcome cognitive dissonance.
- From DX Learning's demo of their new product, The Accountability Shift™, I immediately focused on communicating with more team-focused intention versus project-focused intention. It is a subtle shift focused on how each person understands and can contribute to what we are trying to achieve versus reviewing each person's role and presumed contributions. We are experiencing a higher level of ownership and communication for the duration of these initiatives as well as greater teamwork to foster cross-functional productivity.
I highly recommend the DX Symposium to any person, no matter your role, as an opportunity to enhance your leadership perspective."
Tony Kempa, Managing Director, Environmental System Designs, Inc.
"We were lucky to attend the one day leadership course hosted by Alex himself. That course was a game changer for me, giving me more tools to be a better leader for my team and my company.
During that day, Alex showed us how we are conditioned as a manager to make decisions and communicate with our team on auto pilot, the role play was an incredible example.
Leadership is not just for gifted people, learning and development can help everyone to become a better version of ourselves and Alex and DX will help you on that journey"
Thibault Gonnet, Program Director for Midtown Montreal
"I was lucky enough to participate in the DX training December 5, 2017. It was very helpful to see exactly what my strengths are and what skills I can improve on as a manager.
One part in particular stood out for me: how important it is to clearly communicate goals to your team. The approach DX used to get us 'out of our comfort zone' proved how key communication is throughout an organization. This has allowed me to see where I can improve as a leader and how I can create a successful and inspired team. Thanks DX for providing me with the tools to achieve new heights."
Jon Schaff, Tennis Director for Midtown Bannockburn
"I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to attend the Coaching Simulation put on by Alex and DX. In a short time period, they were able to create a safe learning environment where the participants were free to let their guard down, and open up their minds up to a different and more effective way of coaching. I have read books, attended seminars, and received feedback in regards to how coach properly, but the exercises quickly showed that I had a lot more to learn to be truly effective.
Their theory on what coaching as a leader should look like was easy to understand, but as we were put to the test in the coaching simulation we could see the focus necessary to make real change in our own behaviors. The idea of coaching by asking more questions and telling less allows us to coach in a way that allows our teams to become self-serving and not as reliant on leadership telling them what to do. I was able to immediately take the concepts taught and apply them in the real world as soon as the next day. I know these small changes will not only make me more effective, but more importantly will make my teams more capable in the future. Thanks again for the opportunity and look forward to working with you and the team in the future."

I don't know about you, but I can remember a time when there were only about a dozen holidays on the calendar. Now it seems like almost every day is National fill-in-the-blank Day.
Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) practitioners are up for fun as much as the next person, so not to be left out of this trend, there are a couple of related items you should put on the calendar for the next time they roll around.

LeoLabs' will soon activate a new radar station in New Zealand. It will be the first to track debris as small as 2 centimeters in low Earth orbit. Current, systems track at 10 centimeters or larger.
Low Earth Orbit will soon have tens of thousands of satellites providing new generations services, ranging from broadband internet to Earth imaging. There are 250,000 dangerous objects which are untracked today. The new facility will increase the accuracy of object tracking and will detect 95% of the risk that has never been tracked will be addressed.
The LEO-Labs New Zealand radar will be starting within weeks. The opening was estimated as mid-2019 about 8 months ago.
LeoLabs' improved phased array radar was developed at Silicon Valley's SRI International.
There are estimated to be over 128 million pieces of debris smaller than 1 cm (0.39 in) as of January 2019. There are approximately 900,000 pieces from one to ten cm. The current count of large debris (defined as 10 cm across or larger) is 34,000. Over 98 percent of the 1,900 tons of debris in low Earth orbit (as of 2002) was accounted for by about 1,500 objects, each over 100 kg (220 lb). Total mass is mostly constant despite addition of many smaller objects, since they reenter the atmosphere sooner. Using a 2008 figure of 8,500 known items, it is estimated at 5,500 t (12,100,000 lb).

Index of /~steved/archives/mycorrhizae http://ncatark.uark.edu/~steved/archives/mycorrhizae/ I was teaching a workshop and found it helpful to provide this analogy. It may not be 100% botanically accurate in every situation, but it helps to get people into mycorrhizae-land fairly quickly. Mycorrhizae is the root-fungus association, not the fungus itself. Though, it is accurate to say mycorrhizal fungi to indicate their ability to form symbiotic mycorrhizal associations. Think of lichen growing on trees. Lichen is an association of algae and fungi, an above-ground symbiosis. The fusion of these two organisms actually creates a new organism that has tissue growth which looks distinctly different from the parent organisms. Mycorrhizae is an association of mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots, a below-ground symbiosis. Some mycorrhizal associations actually grow a form of fused root-fungus tissue that extends a few millimeters into the surrounding soil, thus expanding the plant root rhizosphere and therefore the plant's ability to acquire water and nutrients. Here's another one. In one of those web note resources, a forestry publication from Canada, it says that a typical forest in British Columbia may contain 4,000 to 5,000 species of fungus that form mycorrhizal associations with tree root systems.

Report of Jury: 8th IAHH International Student Design Competition 2010
Fifty one competition entries from at least one dozen countries were examined by the jury on 27-28 January 2010. Professor Peter Schreibmayer was delayed in travel and joined on the 28th; hence he was unable to participate in the assessment for awards, but assisted in the deliberations.
The competition theme, Affordable Housing in Sustainable Humane Habitats, presented a formidable architectural challenge, and the jury was happy to note that the entries overall addressed very well the relevant issues arising from the theme. Viewpoints varied from a historical perspective of dwellings of indigenous people, to the integration of foreign migrants into the builtscape of industrial societies; from the rehabilitation of slum dwellers trapped in the expanding metropolis, to reinstating marginalized communities in pastoral landscapes being encroached by machine civilization.
It was noteworthy that the creative energy needed to find design solutions was perhaps derived from a studied focus on the dispossessed and marginalized sections of our societies. Design was approached generally as a process, starting with research into the context of the built environment reinforced with surveys and typological inventories to derive area planning strategies and a building methodology. Given the general high standard of work, the deliberations of the jury were lengthy and intense, leading to the selection of three quite evenly matched award schemes and six schemes for honorable mention.
1st Prize 372574
The first prize was awarded to a design for urban renewal of a historically rooted community in India now surrounded and threatened by the contemporary culture of the metropolis. The significant contribution of the scheme was to try and understand the collective mindscape by a series of surveys, including an inventory of house types, leading to a sensitive adaptation of
dwellings while preserving the collective character of the public spaces. The scheme was distinguished by analytical rigour combined with a sensitivity towards plastic form and a generous acceptance of the human condition.
2nd Prize 260380
The second prize scheme takes up the challenge of communities on the urban fringe in a predominantly agricultural region in Cameroon. The design proposal, to quote from the report, 'depends on natural resources rather than artificially produced and supplied resources" and is " culturally and socially sustainable since it reinforces social values and habits …." The planned configuration of the built fabric maintains the existing water canals and the vegetation alongside to structure the new neighborhoods. There is an exemplary emphasis on pedestrian mobility, techniques for rainwater harvesting and open space organization for community benefit. A strategy for phased transformation of the built fabric to integrate new development is demonstrated in the design.
3rd Prize 861203
The third prize scheme addresses the housing requirement of marginalized farming communities in a region in Malaysia where urbanization is causing cultural and environmental degradation. The proposal posits an ecological approach while emphasizing solutions appropriate to the local people, their socio-economic conditions, and the natural environment. The building design sensitively combines modern technology of a light weigh steel structural framework with vernacular practices using locally sourced materials for infill and containment.
Six schemes were chosen for honorable mention . These were characterized by:
- Exemplary site analysis leading to appropriate environmental structuring ;
- A historical understanding of traditional building typology extended to cater for contemporary requirements;
- Taking up the challenges of recycling the industrial infrastructure in a bold and imaginative way;
- Responding to the needs of migrant workers by sensitive re-design to rehabilitate industrial wasteland;
- A close look at the traditional housing o f indigenous people and proposing an architecture to integrate with present realities;
- Self-build as an approach to empower the urban poor, negotiating architectural solutions through mediation by not-for- profit people's organizations like SPARC (Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centre) and NSDF (National Slum Dwellers Federation).
The jury felt that although the standard of presentation was marked by clarity of thought and expression, there was a sense of mismatch between the sensitive appreciation of the fragility of the lives of marginalized people and the hard edge quality of computer generated images in some of the drawings. Yet the jury would like to record its satisfaction with the high quality of work by entrants to the competition and for their rigorous engagement with very difficult but important challenges. The jury would also like to congratulate IAHH for this effort in the promotion of a valuable cause.

When? Wednesday 10th October, 17:00 (UK)
Where? Sharjah Cricket Stadium
Weather? 38c and sunshine expected all day
What channel is it on? Balkh Legends vs Paktia Panthers will not be televised live in the UK
Where can I stream the match? Balkh Legends vs Paktia Panthers cannot be streamed live in the UK
Are tickets still available? https://www.q-tickets.com/apl/eventlist
Coach: Simon Helmot
Captain: Mohammad Nabi
Coach: Dawlat Ahmadzai
Captain: Mohammad Shahzad
Both of these two teams should have some of their big name overseas stars available for this match as Chris Gayle, Chris Jordan and Luke Wright should all be available. That will add a different dimension for both sides and the Panthers especially will benefit from Jordan if he does play as their bowling unit looks weak. They come up against the Legends who have plenty of firepower with the bat, but one of the better bowling attacks too so their greater quality and balance within the team could see them rack up their third successive victory here.

Address to the Melbourne Unitarian Church, September 6, 2015
This address comes with a number of caveats. I do not consider myself a Buddhist, although I have been an interested observer for some decades, and have skirted on the edges of being involved in the "three jewels" of community (sangha), the teachings (dharma), and hopefully the practise (Buddha). Personally I also have very fond memories of the pilgrimage my housemate and I took in 1996 to the Woolongong Nan Tien Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere. This pilgrimage included spending a night in a ditch on the road to Gundagai, meeting a self-identified friendly elf, a mind-reading radio engineer, and spending some time with an electronic music collective and an IT company named the "The Evil Brotherhood of Mutants, Inc" in a mafia-owned warehouse. Perhaps one day this very strange and wonderful journey may one day be an address in its own right. Alas, time will not permit an elaboration today.
Status of the Submission
The following is a response to an invitation to participate in the Cultural Diversity Review by providing information on possible improvements by the Australian Bureau of Statistics standards and classifications.
This submission follows previous correspondence with the Australian Bureau of Statistics in August 2012 concerning the classification of Unitarians (and Unitarian-Universalists) under Christian (Other) in document 1266.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Religious Groups, 2011. The content of this submission is substantially the same as that correspondence.
Presentation to The Philosophy Forum, Sunday August 2nd, 2015
1.0 Definition and Types of Computation
1.1 Computation is defined here as any type of calculation and is the foundation of the discipline of computer science. Computer science includes the theory of computation, data structures, programming languages, computer architecture, networks, databases etc. The application of computer science technologies has utterly changed our social life and access to knowledge in an extraordinary manner leading to a global computerised society and with hypothetical explorations on the computation aspects of mind, the possibility of transformation of the human species, and even speculations that the universe itself is computational model.
1.2 Pure computation also has approaches which can be distinguished as (a) digital versus analogue, (b) sequential versus parallel (versus concurrent (c) batch versus interactive (providing feedback as the program completes instances of computation), which can be combined in practise (e.g., analogue parallel interative computation, such as The MONIAC (Monetary National Income Analogue Computer) created in 1949).
1.3 A function is a set of input-output pairs that performs a specific task; it can be embodied as a named section of a program as a procedure or routine. They encapsulate a task with input and output parameters. A function can be described as a formula, and can be considered computable is there is an algorithm (from Al-Khuwarizmi, an Arab mathematician, ca. 780-850 CE) that computes the function. Programmers often use "procedural forgetfulness" when writing functions once written.
1.4 Bill Rapaport, who holds a rare position of a "philosopher of computing" noted four Great Insights of Computer Science (2013)
1. Social Development; What Is It?
1.1 Social Development in this context is part of social theory. It is not referring to the individual's ability to interact with others, which can also be described as "social development". The philosophy of social development is about testing a component of social theory, specifically the notion that are developmental, qualitative differences in different societies which have an internal logical consistency and are backed by evidence. The term 'development' is used to differentiate with 'evolution'; both mean change but the former is the result of human-directed change.
1.2 Of a major concern is the concept of civilization, Whilst a dictionary definition (using all those in common use) will give competing and contradictory definitions, there is a more definitions that has a consensus among anthropologists and sociologists, which includes (i) the establishment of the state, political classes, and centralised authority; (ii) urbanisation and agriculture, (iii) currency, writing systems, and religious institutions; (iv) metallurgy, the end of the neolithic stone age, and the rise of violent conflicts between states. The word civilization notably comes from the French root civilis, for "relating to a citizen". Major contributors in the origins of civilization include the archeologist Gordon Childe (urban revolution, three-age system), the philosopher Karl Jaspers (axial age civilisations), the foundational sociologists Émile Durkheim (collective consciousness, distinction between the sacred and profane, religious and legal institutionalisation) and Max Weber (world-views of different traditional religions), and the anthrologist Bronislaw Malinowski (freedom and civilisation, economic anthropology).
Most people when asked about the Arthurian legends will bring to mind well known tropes from idealised British fantasy. Indeed, the Arthurian legends, in combining medieval history and ancient mythology, created those tropes. There are maidens in flowing dresses in extraordinary castles, brave knights in shining armour, old wizards with long beards, seductive witches, changelings, ghosts, giants, dwarves, elves, goblins, unicorns, dragons, magical swords, and otherworldly lands. There are wise rulers, antagonistic offspring, sibling rivalry, obsessions and madness, dangerous quests, romances both pure and destructive, and competitive love triangles. There is the theme of the end of the old ways and the rise of the new. The only thing missing from what we consider staple fare for contemporary fantasy is hobbits; and we all know where they came from.
For those who are a little more familiar with the story, they might mention a youngster who draws a magic sword from a stone during a time of chaos, which determined the King of all the Britons, receives Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, who rose and united the land against invaders, formed a semi-democratic and multicultural council of knights, the Round Table. They may also mention the establishment of chivalry as a knightly code of conduct as the foundations of 'noblesse oblige', a tradition sorely lacking in contemporary times. They may even mention the illicit romance between Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, and the tragic parallel between Tristram and Isolde, the rise of the Waste Land, and the search of the Holy Grail to cure the ills of the world. They will also certainly mention Mordred, Arthur's nephew and son (think about that for a moment and let it sink in), who eventually fights Arthur at the Battle of Camlann and wounds him, leading Arthur to be sent to the isle of Avalon, where he rests, until he will return again, in accord with the 'King in the Mountain' motif, to save the green and pleasant land of the Britons in the time of greatest need.
But what really is this story? Why has it survived for hundreds of years, with its many and various representations? There are literally thousands of published poems, hundreds of books of prose and plays, scores of films, computer games, studies, and so forth. Is there, stripped of even all the supernatural embellishments, even a kernel of truth to the legend? Why is it still popular to this very day, and doubtless will be in the future? What can we learn from it? To answer these questions one must explore the actual history of Britain when the stories were set and compare them to the medieval stories of the Arthurian legend. One must also look at some of the modern reconstructions and interpretations of the legend. One must also engage in literary analysis, to discover the motivating factors that have ensured the tale's continued popularity.
Last Sunday (11/01/2015) was the Poetry and Music Service at the Melbourne Peace Memorial Church. My reading was the Dana Lyons classic Cows With Guns, a comical story of a cow that leads a revolution. But a special dedication also had to given on the day to those assembled, and to visitors to this site to Darren Irvine.
Introduction from Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain (Oliver Sacks, 2007)
1.0 What is "evil"? Is there a common language or philosophical definition that is secular, or must it rely on religious and metaphysical attachments?
1.1 A religious-metaphysical notion of evil is that it is associated as a supernatural moral position, commonly associated with extreme forms of blasphemy, heresy etc. In a secular context, where moral norms are not derived from supernatural assertions, moral evil can be described in the context of extreme actions contrary to normative positions.
"The great basic question of all philosophy, especially of more recent philosophy, is that concerning the relation of thinking and being.... the question of the relation of thinking to being, the relation of the spirit to nature - the paramount question of the whole of philosophy ... The answers which the philosophers gave to this question split them into two great camps. Those who asserted the primacy of spirit to nature... comprised the camp of idealism.
1.0 Traditional religious views
1.1 The Hindu Vedas describe a cyclical cosmology of time, in which the universe goes through repeated cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth, with each cycle lasting 4,320,000 years. Hindu comsology also argues "There are innumerable universes besides this one ... they are unlimitedly large (Bhagavata Purana c750 CE).

Greeting all,
Meet my kitty, Saint. He is my Christmas gift from my husband. He is adorable and so sweet (my kitty, not my husband… although he's adorably sweet as well!). Saint is 8 weeks old and a rescue.
Saint is named after several things: One – Saint Walker from the Blue Lantern Corps. You're familiar with Green Lantern, yeah? Well there are also Blue Lanterns. 🙂 Two – The Boondock Saints is one of my favorite movies. Did you know that there was a Norman Reedus before Daryl Dixon? And Third – He was a Christmas gift, so you can also say he was named after Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, because I'm cliché' like that.
Saint will be helping me out with some Board Game pictures, so I thought I'd let you get familiar with him first! 🙂 Happy Holidays from us to you and until next time… Live by the Board.

Do you have more than 5000 photos?
Are your photos disorganized and mismanaged?
Do you not have time to figure out which photos to send to your frame?
If you answered yes to all of the above, then you would benefit from the Lazy Method of Photo Frame ownership.
Here's what you do:
1. Load ALL your photos onto the frame. Unless you have some secret photos you want to hide from your wife or girlfriend, this is the easiest way to load up your frame without thinking. Use one of the automated ways to load photos from your phone or PC described here. If you use the automatic method of loading photos, then you'll never have to worry about loading up photos again.
2. Set your playlist to This Week in History. This playlist takes all of your photos and shows you just a weeks worth of photos from this year, last year, the year before etc..... Click here to set your playlist to This Week in History. Say you have 5000 photos. There are 52 weeks to a year. So each day you'll see a playlist of around 5000/52= 96 photos.
3. In your Playlist you should now see This Week in History as the current playlist. In the upper left portion of the screen you will see a set of photo filters. Tap the one labeled Auto:

Centrica: 30th anniversary of Morecambe gas production (Gallery)
Centrica Energy, a UK-based integrated energy company, is today celebrating 30 years of gas production from the Morecambe Bay, off England.
The Morecambe Bay gas fields, located off the coast of Lancashire and Cumbria, are among the biggest in UK waters – approximately the same size as the city of Birmingham.
According to Centrica, gas formed in rocks lying deep beneath the Irish Sea was extracted, processed and piped into the National Grid for the first time on January 9, 1985 and today it continues to heat around 1.5 million homes.
"It's with great pride that we celebrate 30 years of gas from Morecambe Bay."
At peak, the region produced enough gas to meet 20 per cent of the UK's domestic demand and thanks to continuous investment in technology, skills and infrastructure, production has exceeded its original lifespan and is expected to continue into the 2020s, Centrica said in the release.
In 2013, the first new gas field in 10 years, known as Rhyl, came on stream and work is currently underway on a multimillion-pound project to upgrade the Barrow Gas Terminals to ensure continued safe and efficient operations.
Colette Cohen, Senior Vice President of Centrica Energy for the UK and Netherlands, said, "It's with great pride that we celebrate 30 years of gas from Morecambe Bay.
"The gas fields and the Barrow Gas Terminals are a cornerstone asset of Centrica Energy and played their part in shaping the UK's energy industry.
"2015 offers an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on how far we've come in the three decades, from the development and application of new technologies to maximise the fields recovery, to growing skills and expertise which have enabled us to extend the life of the gas field to the present day, and for years to come."

Morecambe history
Chief Petrophysicist John Bains first discovered the gas reserves in Morecambe Bay in 1972, however, according to Centrica, his discoveries were initially dismissed by the company that owned the drilling rights and which had been focusing on finding oil rather than gas.
Bains' determination paid off in 1974, when British Gas, after acquiring the rights, drilled an exploration well and confirmed that a 600-foot column of gas lay deep beneath Morecambe Bay. Eleven years later, gas production started.
"John's determination and expertise uncovered one of the UK's most important gas fields, which has kept millions of homes warm ever since."
Bains, who passed away in 2013 aged 86, was officially recognised for his contribution to UK gas exploration when a gas field was named after him.
The Bains field was acquired by Centrica Energy in 2001 and the decision to name it after the petrophysicist was made a year later.
Mark Hanafin, Centrica Energy's Managing Director, said: "John's determination and expertise uncovered one of the UK's most important gas fields, which has kept millions of homes warm ever since.
"John was hugely respected in his field by his fellow geologists, and revered at Centrica Energy as the grandfather of the Morecambe Bay development."

Milady's correct fashionable corsets
After years of deliberation and search through the fashion centers of the world, women have been brought to the realization of exactly what they require in the way of fashionable corsets.
For this reason, manufacturers of corsets have refrained from producing a multiplicity of models, but only those commanded by the most fastidious dressers who bow to the dictates of fashion.
Nature has tapered a woman's ribs to make the body flexible, but in so doing, she has sacrificed stability for gracefulness and left an imperative need of support to the spine at the waistline. Upon this spot depend grace of motion, the position and health of vital organs, muscles and nerves and the proper poise of the entire body. If the spine is supported in a correct position, a too-prominent abdomen, stooping shoulders and ungainly lines are impossible.
Unsupported, the spine curves outward at this vital point, every muscle is strained, every vital organ out of position, and unsightly lines are inevitable. Nature has made a line, starting from the spine, where the ribs end, and falling below the diaphragm, known as the waistline, where firmness, even pressure, is both comfortable and needful for the proper support of the spine.
Dancers of all ages have accentuated this line of grace of motion, and man from primeval time has applied the same principle in the belt of skins or the athlete's girdle for support and safety in any physical exertion.
The present-day corset is built with a full recognition of these principles. Its straight cut gives firm support along the waistline where it is indispensable to health and beauty, and ensures permanency of a shape that is correct and comfortable in the beginning.
It is well-known that anything cut on the bias will stretch, so that the bias gored corset cannot be firm, and a permanent waistline is impossible. Its stretching gives same pressure over vital organs as at the waistline, making comfort or the free, graceful motion of uncramped muscles equally impossible.
The corset's shape
Shape is the first requisite in a corset. The present-day corset not only improves the figure, but it beautifies the individual, and gives that tangible something — "the indefinable in dress" — that was impossible with stiff lines of the former day models. It gives the up-to-date woman the figure and style she will have and ensures her the good health to keep and improve her figure.
Corsets are built in distinct styles, belts for full and stout figures, and the lattice ribbon for slender and medium, with varieties in each, so that every possible figure will find its corresponding correct model.
The long hip belt models for full and medium figures are pre-eminently the corset for the present style of dress. The best-gowned women of today give them an unqualified endorsement. They cover the entire hip smoothly, showing no ridge, even through an unlined skirt. There can be no rolling up of flesh over the edges, or shifting motion of a very fleshy figure.
The bust is supported sufficiently to prevent sagging or shifting, but not confined. The bust curves are full and begin low, so that the corset will not push up in any position. Each long hip belt model has two pair of extra fine and heavy French silk elastic hose supporters covered with satin in all colors.
Select the correct corset carefully
Every woman should select her corset with the greatest care. She should be fitted by an expert corsetiere, for every line and curve of her form has a reason, and must be properly fitted and worn to accomplish its work.
The proper model worn cannot fail to bring out every good point, and make a distinct improvement in figure and poise. Each model improves the figure it represents; for example, a short-waisted model will lengthen a short-waisted figure, while a long-waisted model would neither look nor feel well.
The new system of measurement eases the corset over pit of stomach, giving freedom instead of applying pressure in front. The waistline curves in sharply at back, supporting the spine in the correct position that makes a too prominent abdomen disappear naturally and permanently. The straight front, straight cut and full deep bust encourage natural breathing and an erect, easy poise, and make it impossible for the corset to ride up in any position.
Continued wear cures ungainly lines by removing the cause. The belt model is the only corset for stout figures that cures permanently instead of applying temporary pressure; that hygienically to remove the cause, not temporarily by strapping back an effect.
Many colors of fashionable corsets available
The lattice ribbon models for medium and slender figures are made in both white and black bodies, with white, pink, blue, lavender or cherry ribbons; also made in pink with pink ribbons, blue with blue ribbons, black with black ribbons. Those models are lightest weight durable corsets made.
The bodies are of very fine, thin material, the ribbons giving firmness as well as a very dressy appearance. They give the chic, dainty figure an easy air of style, and allow perfect freedom in breathing and motion. The long, sloping waistline is clearly defined and fits in firmly, inclining the body to gracefulness.
There is no other corset for slender and medium figures which is very light in weight and yet firm enough to retain its shape. The boning is so flexible that it curves gracefully, but will never become set to the figure. They fit so perfectly at waistline that one size smaller than is usually worn should be selected.
Fashionable corsets, or college girl girdles
The college girl girdle is especially adapted to golf, horseback, the gymnasium and all athletic exercise. It will give the hygienic support that makes muscular exertion safe and comfortable, and also preserve the dainty, slender figure without which the athletic woman loses her greatest charm.
The college girl girdle is recommended as the first corset for the growing girl. It will not only develop a good figure and poise, but prove the ounce of prevention against stooping shoulders, and ungainly poise and the many posible ills resulting from an unsupported spine.
The average woman today has a good figure and poise and does not need violent methods of correction. She loses her own good points in an arbitrary corset, and gains nothing but "corset lines" that make it impossible for her to be stylish. The present-day models correct this fault.
The long, sloping waistline is rounded and clearly defined, curves in sharply at back and falls low in front. The bust and muscles are supported, but not confined, keeping the body erect and developing a lithe and willowy motion and poise. The wearer looks and feels her best, and wears her costume with the finished and easy air of style.
Get the proper fit for a truly fashionable corset to flatter
To obtain the correct corset measurement, a woman should stand correctly, measure the waistline well down in front snugly, and deduct two inches to ascertain size, or four inches when measured over the dress. Measure from armpit to waistline and deduct two inches for length of waist. The measures should be taken over the underwear to be worn.

RC is my favorite platform. I think the quality of deals are above the rest. But the platform itself could use a update or three for better user experience, reporting and tracking of investments made. I feel RC is the one place where you have higher quality sponsors and better overall deals in this space..

There are enough variables in structuring a production agreement that wed prefer to have more information before doing so. A business with multiple locations using the same creativity pays less per location than one with a single location. If you purchase the playback unit you can cancel the service at any time. With proper credit we will provide the equipment, but require a three-year agreement. Once you supply some basic information we can answer whatever questions you have.

Last Saturday I picked up Ryan Leak in Wolverhampton, and then Andy Wycherley in Telford, as we made our way to Park Hall for the game against Elgin City.
Once we had Andy in the car, I also took the opportunity to record the journey. With my iphone on the windshield, TNS Facebook Live picked up the conversation.
You do have to be careful with these sort of things – not from the perspective in this case of what was said, as the players were great, but rather how does it come across in terms of club representation.
Whenever I do anything from a media angle with TNS I have three principles that I adhere to. I will never do anything that embarrasses the club, embarrasses the other person or embarrasses me.
This is important because sometimes you do see clubs posting things on social media that make you cringe. Especially once you drop down the leagues, the general level of professionalism also sometimes falls away, and in some cases, quite sharply as well.
Now, I'm not being critical so don't misunderstand me but as far as my own personal output is concerned, I want to keep it firmly on the right side of the line.
It doesn't mean to say that you have to be straight down the line though, far from it and back to the topic of this week's column, I thought it was good content.
It gives an insight into the lives of players that you don't get from a conventional post-match interview type situation. The feedback has been good as well. You can check it out for yourself via the link below.

|Operating system
|Inter-process communication
LINX is a new generation of the OSE link handler for inter-process communications (IPC) that provides high performance and robust functionality developed by ENEA AB in Sweden. LINX was released as free and open-source software, subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2.
LINX was ported later on Linux, works with same success on both OSE and Linux kernels. Is possible to interconnect a Linux machine with an OSE one and have a direct communication path between processes that run under different kernels.
Utilizing direct message passing, LINX scales from DSPs and microcontrollers to 64-bit CPUs. LINX is independent of the underlying processor, operating system, or interconnect, supports control and data plane applications over reliable and unreliable media.
LINX also supports any distributed system topology, from a single processor on a single blade, to large networks with complex cluster topologies deployed on hundreds of processors in a multi-rack system.
LINX enable application processes distributed across multiple operating systems, CPUs, and interconnects to communicate, as if they were running on the same CPU under the same operating system. LINX provides the same services to the application regardless of hardware, operating system, physical interconnect, and network topology.
LINX utilizes an innovative address map for connections that greatly enhances flexibility and scalability. Unlike other IPC models, which must maintain the entire system address map on every node in the system, LINX nodes store only the addresses needed for active connections.
