Kids sedated with oral versed still cry. They cry for the freezing, for the bite block, for putting on the rubber dam, for the fillings and for the extractions. They lie there all wrapped up tight and cry for that. But we get the work done and mostly they are still.
It was a loud morning this morning but we got everyone done. It is hard to believe that such a loud morning actually went well.
Except for this small pain inside my head – upper left brain. Coffee and ibuprofen should fix that.

Newburgh — It sounded at first as though two Orange County law enforcement agencies would soon pioneer gadgets that could bypass the conflicting witness accounts that often accompany police shootings. But it's now clear that the one department out of the two that actually has an occasional shooting — Newburgh — is far from acquiring the gun-mounted cameras that set off a national media frenzy last month.
Newburgh — It sounded at first as though two Orange County law enforcement agencies would soon pioneer gadgets that could bypass the conflicting witness accounts that often accompany police shootings.
But it's now clear that the one department out of the two that actually has an occasional shooting — Newburgh — is far from acquiring the gun-mounted cameras that set off a national media frenzy last month.
Indeed, the PistolCam revolution heralded that day outside Newburgh Mayor Nick Valentine's campaign headquarters after some election endorsements now appears to have been premature at best — and a publicity stunt at worst.
For starters, the city has no money to buy the gun cameras — even if it were truly committed to using them. State Sen. William Larkin Jr., who was said last month to be pursuing a grant of "several hundred thousand dollars" to equip the police, now denies making any effort of the kind.
The city hasn't even asked him to secure funding, he said.
"I never promised anybody several hundred thousand dollars," said Larkin, R-C-Cornwall-on-Hudson. "Nobody asked for it."
Valentine, meanwhile, is far less certain about PistolCam's prospects in Newburgh than the Oct. 29 news conference and breathless media accounts since then have suggested.
He said last week that no decision will be made about the cameras until he has spoken with police officials, the police union and a citizens committee that has been holding meetings on police-community relations.
"I want to make sure that everyone's on board before we make that step," he said.
He said he talked with Larkin about getting a grant, and the senator was "positive on the idea." But he confirms he has made no formal grant request.
The tone was more emphatic a month ago when Bill DeProspo, the county Republican chairman and a pitchman for PistolCam, took the microphone at Valentine's campaign news conference to announce that the Newburgh police would be the first to use the new cameras.
Maybe he meant the second, for it also was revealed then that the Orange County Sheriff's Office would outfit its Emergency Services Unit with the cameras, using $35,000 in state funds that Larkin had secured.
That claim was partially true. Larkin earmarked $20,000 — not $35,000 — for the sheriff's office in a $3.6 million budget resolution the Senate had passed a week earlier. But the state Assembly and the county Legislature still must approve the funding before the sheriff's office can spend it.
Pistol-Cam is a 6-ounce camera mounted on the underside of a gun barrel. Activated once a gun in unholstered, it records whatever events unfold before a police officer during a violent encounter.
The $695 camera was created by Adirondack Optics, a five-employee company based upstate in Keeseville, near Lake Placid. The same business created rifle-mounted cameras several years ago and has been hawking them to hunters and the military.
If one purpose of the Newburgh announcement was to generate buzz for PistolCam, it was a roaring success. New York City TV stations broadcast gee-whiz stories from Newburgh and Goshen and beamed them to network affiliates around the country. Even "Good Morning America" and "Hannity & Colmes" got in on the act.
The unbiased perspective of a video camera could hold crossover appeal in places like Newburgh where divergent accounts of a police shooting inflame tensions between the cops and the community.
But the reaction from law enforcement has been cautious.
Monroe police Chief Dominic Giudice, who attended a meeting in September at which DeProspo pitched the cameras to Orange County police chiefs, said he has misgivings because they would miss all the activity that leads to the gunfire.
"You're seeing the last seconds," he said. "You're not seeing what got you there."
Orange County Sheriff Carl DuBois said DeProspo first mentioned PistolCam to him about a year ago and brought it up again within the past couple of months, saying that Larkin might be able to get the sheriff's office a grant to buy them.
DuBois said he sent Larkin a written request. If the money comes through, his department plans to buy rifle-mounted cameras for its 20-member Emergency Services Unit, a SWAT-like team that occasionally backs local and state police when they serve high-risk warrants.
Clearly, that force would shoot less video than would a big-city police department. DuBois said the ESU is "called out very infrequently" — twice a month, tops — and has never fired a shot since he took office in January 2003. But he sees no problem with getting the cameras.
"Anything that raises our accountability is beneficial," he said. "Twenty units wouldn't be breaking the bank."

Good fences
I've been threatening to post pictures of the garden, and finally I have. Here it is, in all its bare-dirt glory. (Actually, I have radishes and snow peas up already, but of course you can't see them.) Look at that beautiful fence! I did that! Mom helped, mostly by holding things for me, but I did it almost completely by myself.
This year we're going to eat well, oh yes. Look at that, there's even a gate.

Thanks! Last year I didn't have a gate (or a real fence), just the place where the ends of the deer netting overlapped and I could duck through.

Great fence! I planted the first of our garden today--beets. I could feel the beady-little bunny eyes watching me, waiting for those succulent shoots...

Resident Evil 0's main gameplay feature, the "partner zapping" system, is unique in the series in that instead of choosing a single character to play the entire game, the player controls both Rebecca and Billy. Both characters can travel together with one character being controlled by the player and the other by the computer (who can also be partially controlled with the C-stick on the GCN version), or split up and search separate areas each at the same time. This dual control is central to solving some of the puzzles in the game. The difference between both characters is that Rebecca can acquire chemicals with her mixing kit and can get into tight spaces, but is more fragile to enemy attacks. In contrast, Billy can handle heavy objects, has an oil lighter and can sustain more damage than Rebecca, but cannot mix herbs (in contrast from previous games, in which any character could mix herbs).
The game also does away with the use of "item boxes" placed in fixed locations for the player to store items in. Instead, the player can now drop items on the floor to make room for new ones, and must retrace their steps back to the room they previously dropped the discarded item when they need it later in the game. The locations of dropped or "touched" items are displayed on the player's map.

The Essential Guide to UI Engineering (Part 1)
Start your journey towards UI Development mastery, with a ground-up review of the fundamentals.Watch Promo
The Essential Guide to UI Engineering is a ground-up review of the most essential knowledge on the Art & Science of UI Development. Equipped with this knowledge, you can pick up any UI Framework or Platform and get comfortable quickly. Yes, literally any!
"How is that possible"?
Well, these fundamentals form the backbone of all modern UI technologies. It's the tried and tested practices that underpin the most powerful UI platforms of today.
Learn these fundamentals once and profit everywhere! Be it on the web with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, or native with Windows, iOS, macOS, Android or even some esoteric ones out there!
These are the fundamental "secrets" that the best UI Engineers in the world possess. This course is an attempt to unlock those secrets and make it more accessible.
Part 1: Under the Hood
In this part we take a peek at the nuts and bolts of any UI Framework or Platform. This will give you a ground up review of what it takes to execute your User Interface. These are the fundamentals that will play a big role as you go deeper into UI Development. For example, the Event Loop is such a pivotal concept that the performance of any UI depends on how you handle messages in an Event Loop.
Let's explore the core concepts as we embark on this journey on UI Engineering. See you in the course!
Course Curriculum
Can I take this course?
Are you already into UI Development? Just beginning your career as a Frontend Engineer? Aspiring a career switch into UI and Frontend development?
No matter your situation, its always great to start on strong foundations. Foundations you can rely on for years to come in your Frontend career. This course compiles the essential knowledge you need to understand the Art & Science of UI Development.
Interestingly, these foundational concepts are rarely taught in schools, there is no single book that outlines these clearly and you are left to figure out on your own...through years of experience.
If you are into UI / Frontend development, these fundamentals will get you far ahead of the rest.
Hint: If you are still not sure, try out the Preview lessons from the Curriculum 👌
Your Instructor
As a Frontend Developer since 2001, I've worked on a variety of UI Platforms/Frameworks/Tools/Technologies. From Java/Swing, .Net/WPF to Cocoa on macOS/iOS and of course the Web Platform.
Although I started on the Desktop platform, I've ventured far and deep into Mobile and Web with iOS, React, React Native, Angular and the likes. Since 2010, I have been building heavy duty apps for some of the big names on Wall St, with specific focus on Web and Mobile platforms. I am also a Google Developer Expert (GDE) for Web Technologies.
Previously, I have been a Microsoft MVP for Client Application Development (2008-2011), published one of the much needed books on WPF (WPF Control Development Unleashed), authored MobX Quick Start Guide (the first book on MobX), have created QuickLens, a macOS App targeted at UI Designers/Developers and also authored several courses and articles on Web Platform at Tuts+.
I also speak regularly at conferences, meetups and conduct workshops.
When time permits I love playing Ping Pong or sketching on the iPad Pro.

Discussion in 'General Metal Discussion' started by Bruticus, Jul 17, 2019.
Immortal-Pure Holocaust
I usually HATE middle eastern sounding metal, like those cheesy fkng harmonic minor/diminished scales, sound horrible, but this is pretty damn original material, and those blasts sound fkng awesome, love those, and what a strange killer riff on top. It's like Nile, but with actually compelling music. I might give this album a few trips.
Always loved Mike Smith's hands together blast. Has a very distinct feel to it.
Yeah although that's great and l agree with you, he didn't play on this album. It was Doug Bohn
ah, true I see here. Left for 'Pierced' and 'Despise the Sun' then returned. Remembered he'd left later than that, but no...
Anyways I'm a fan of the hands together blast. Gave those rhythm sections a distinct flavor, very raw, almost amateur in feel. Trying to figure out which band uses it extensively like Suffocation did. Was under the impression maybe Immolation and Deeds of Flesh, but not what I just verified apparently.
Nah, l can't recall anyone playing the blast like Smith does with Suffocation.
I don't call it the 'hands together' thing, it's his snare and foot as one
I guess you're not a disciple of that faithful Derek Roddy blast tutorial from about a decade ago. And it's open hi hat and snare at the same time here, not sure about kick, hard to discern, but I've always known it to be overhead+snare simultaneously as the main concept. That's why it sounds so packed, the regular blast sounds less concentrated and more aerial and rapid as that separation of the snare and overhead gives it that spacious width and pace, the hands together Suffo blast is concentrated and feels like it slows down or thickens the riff.
It's called "hammer" blast and everything is played at the same time; snare, kick and cymbal (normally hats)
Hard to tell technically what is different, but they sound well different though. The hammerblast, the iconic Mazurkiewicz Cannibal Corpse blast, sounds like a swarm. Double kicks are very present and build a strong bass presence in the background and makes the riffs sound bassier and more crowded. The hands together Suffo blast makes the riff sound grittier, more condensed and tight, but definitely doesn't bring that strong bass presence.
I thought it was due to the hammerblast being played with both feet alternating kicks, giving it that free flowing motion whereas the Suffo blast was intentionally one foot kick action, but I just watched a drum cover of 'Pierced' and it appears it's played with both feet alternating the kicks.
I think the hammerblast is 16 double kicks for 8 snares/overheads, so there's a kick in between each snare/overhead, which is what differentiates it from the hands together.
The Paul blast is called bomb blast, where double bass drums are added to the normal blast. Smith's blast is the hammer one.
maybe it isnt the blasts themselves but Hellhammer's drumming is sick as fuck, and i really like the way the drums were mixed, they have a nice cavernous sound that is still in your face at the same time
Whomever recommended Brutal Truth, I second this. I love them, especially the "Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses" release. Great blasts.
Insect Warfare "World Extermination"
Animals Killing People "Kentucky Fried Killing"
Just two albums that I can name from the very top of my head that seems like good examples of strong/enjoyable blasts.
yeah yeah bomb blast. That's right. The swarming effect.
So wtvr one calls it, I can't think of any other band that utilizes the Suffocation one. I wonder if it came from a mistake. Like it wasn't totally clear at the time what a blast beat was and the guy just came up with this, and then decided it sounded cool and kept it. The regular blast sounds more sophisticated so I reckon that's why all bands went for that instead.
Mike Smith explains where his predominant technique of bass drum and snare (and cymbals) blast derives from -
l think the mixer/producer is a tad off his head thinking Mike created the blast tho. No, just that style
Bruticus's favorite blast beats are the beats where his ass gets blasted by multiple dicks.

MSRP: $41,470; as tested: $51,365
Like most convertibles, Nissan's 370Z Roadsters are at their coolest when their tops are dropped. So posed, the car makes an interesting styling statement. The sloping front is punctuated by arrow-shaped headlights. The rear view is high and hippy. The razed roof sits beneath a hard boot for a smooth profile.
Collectively, it's distinctive; all the more so because you don't see many.
Last year, Nissan's Z Roadster received a refresh that included both show and go items. The former included an updated front fascia with LED driving lights. Highlighting the latter was the introduction of a Sport Package option, which added a limited slip differential, beefier brakes, stiffer shocks and 19-inch aluminum rims. The drop top Z returns for 2014 essentially unchanged. It's available in Base and Touring trim levels.
Recently, I drove a top-level, Touring model. With two option packages (Sport ($2,830) and Navigation ($2,830), it had an as-tested price of $51,365.
Powering the top up and down is a one-button effort that takes about 20 seconds. When up, it's snug inside; weather tight, though rear vision is squeezed into a turret-like view out the back window. Top down wind flow never rises to objectionable levels. The interior is comfortably cozy for two. Fittingly for a Z car, the driver's dash view is purposeful. The three-spoke wheel frames a three-piece instrument cluster, with tachometer as centerpiece. Riding high atop the center stack is a trio of secondary gauges. Just below, on nav equipped cars, is a 7-inch color monitor, and further down, two sets of straight forward controls for sound system and HVAC. The center console only houses one cup holder — surprising, in the Age of Hydration. Inboard storage spots are few, including a pair of thin door pockets, a small, covered center console, and a typically-sized glove box.
Convertible sports cars traditionally boast modest trunks. It becomes something of a badge of honor for their owners to see if they can squeeze enough stuff into them, to get through a weekend getaway. The Roadster's trunk measures a PLC (Pack Light Certified), 4.2 cubic feet. Small, certainly, and not quite rectangular, so luggage options suggest one roll aboard, and soft, squishable bags.
Regardless of trim level, both Roadsters roll with Nissan's 3.7-liter V-6. It makes 332 h.p. and 270 lb. ft. of torque., and it's matched with a seven-speed automatic on base models. Touring versions have their choice of auto or six-speed manual. Though my first choice would always be the stick, the test car's automatic is a good one. Left to its own devices, shift points are smooth and responsive to throttle input. And in manumatic mode, gear change requests from the steering column paddles are processed quickly by the transmission. This is a fine, sporting engine; powerful and even-tempered. It's well suited to touring, and always up to a little exercise when the right road presents itself. The EPA rates the fuel economy at a middling 18 miles per gallon city, 25 highway, and my test drive's 22 mpg's were one better than the EPA combined rating.
On smooth roads, ride quality is enjoyably smooth; handling is crisp and controlled. Choppy pavement coaxes cowl shake out of the chassis — a product of the loss of the hardtop's rigidity and the Sport Package's tighter suspension tuning — and a stiffer ride.
Rear drive sports cars mostly sit out the winter months here in the northeast. But, there are compensations. On a sunny, Fall day with the top down and the rpm's up, the engine's soundtrack makes a fine companion. Something to look back on and savor, when you're out wrestling with the snow blower this winter.
Base models of the 370Z Roadster start at $41,000, but a fairly loaded Touring model like my test car crests $51,000. The 40-50 thousand range takes in a lot of fine touring cars. That's the challenge for the 370Z convertible.
This is a spirited tourer, with plenty of power and a unique style. And, as mentioned earlier, it's just rare enough to stand out when you see one. That's important. Because, in a segment crowded with good choices, being different is a good way to get noticed.

Egyptian scientist Tarek Hassanein has been working on the development of one of the new drugs that promise a better future for patients suffering from Hepatitis C

Millions of Egyptians suffer from genotype 4 Hepatitis C but new drugs scheduled to hit the market over the next two years have been making national headlines and giving patients hope. Daily News Egypt sat down with Dr Tarek Hassanein, an Egyptian doctor at the University of California San Diego who has contributed to the research behind one of the new drugs, to tell us what Egyptians can expect in the coming years.
"The new drugs have a 95% to 100% success rate," said Dr Hassanein.
Dr Hassanein said that in 2004, scientists discovered more about the structure of the virus and took a new approach, "instead of stopping the virus in one step, stop it in two or three. We have been able to identify the enzymes responsible for the virus' reproduction and target them."
Dr Hassanein's main contribution to the research came in the second phase of the development of the drug Sofosbuvir, when he was working with Pharmasset under Gilead Pharmaceuticals.
"They started testing on Hepatitis types 1, 4, 5, and 6. We found that the cure was 96% effective on type 4, which is most common here in Egypt. There is also another drug from Johnson and Johnson that has gotten FDA approval. Both drugs received FDA approval last December."
One issue is that both drugs are very expensive. Gilead's option costs $90,000 for a treatment that lasts three months and does not require injections, while Johnson and Johnson's new drug costs a more affordable $66,000 but includes injections and needs to be taken for 6 months.
Dr Hassanein said there are many more drugs in the pipeline, "there is another drug scheduled for release in four months and the aim is to move beyond Interferon as the standard treatment by the end of 2014. Next year will see the release of three more drugs which makes a total of five different treatment options available and in 2015 two more are expected bringing the total up to seven new drugs to fight Hepatitis. All these drugs track the virus differently and this plethora of options means more competition and less expensive drugs."
Though many Egyptians are anxious to get their hands on the new drugs, Dr Hassanein said people must be patient, "Hepatitis C is chronic and takes 30, 40 or even 50 years before it becomes a cause of death. It is possible, with complications, for it to take only 10 to 15 years but even in these cases by then options will be available for patients."
For those who are already at a critical stage Dr Hassanein said the new drugs may be unhelpful, "for example, patients with liver failure cannot handle Ribavirin or Interferon so these drugs will not work for them. Anyone in need of a liver transplant will likely have too much damage in their liver for the drugs to work."
In less critical cases, however, Dr Hassanein said the drugs can reverse the damage done to the liver in five to seven years, provided that patients do not develop complications and avoid weight gain, drinking, smoking and other triggers. "Egyptian patients in particular need to stop taking medicine that has no basis in science. There are herbs advertised to 'stimulate' the liver that actually harm it. The rate of re-infection in Egypt is also unusually high. We need higher standards of cleanliness and sterilisation," said Dr Hassanein.
Dr Hassanein stressed the importance of developing a system where Egypt can take part in the research and development of new drugs. He said the lack of a proper system was the main obstacle to cooperation of research and development with the government. "We were told that Egypt does not have the legal and scientific systems required to develop this drug here. This is partly why Egyptian patients were so concerned with human testing. They do not trust the system in place. In the US, patients sometimes offer to test new drugs because they know they are better protected and that the rules of the FDA are the international standard."
Finally Dr Hassanein said that for the drug to be affordably available in Egypt, it should not be available only through the Ministry of Health for a special price but through multiple channels for everyone at the same price, "otherwise it will be too expensive, especially since the Ministry of Health cannot treat the required number each year. They have 23 centres in which they say 30,000 people receive treatment but in order to be effective they would need six times this amount."
Affordable or not, by 2015 the global market will have at least seven new and different treatment options for patients with Hepatitis C, in all of its genotypes. And while Egyptian patients should be weary of expecting miracles, this cannot be but good news for the millions suffering in the country today.

We have just returned from our most recent trip to Europe and my kids are both in high school. My son will be a freshman and my daughter will be a senior. We went for two weeks and and visited three cities—Paris, Amsterdam and London. While our family trip included many frustrating moments including arguments over what to do next or where to eat, schlepping around suitcases, lost luggage, a heat wave, lack of alone time and the inability to make everyone happy at the same time, traveling with teenagers was incredibly special and a wonderful opportunity to grow and bond as a family. Below are the reasons I recommend everyone travel with their teenagers:
Traveling can be humbling
For teenagers who think they know everything, we learned that there is still much to learn. First of all, we Americans are incredibly lame when it comes to languages. Almost all of the Europeans we encountered knew English even though we were in their country. Our knowledge of French and Dutch was pathetically limited. Paying for things was complicated too because we did not know the currency and once we figured out Euros, we moved onto London where we had to learn pounds.
Bikes are king
In both Amsterdam and Paris, the bike lane was heavily used. You had to walk on the sidewalk or fear being run over. With the narrow and curvy roads, biking just made a lot of sense. It was a nice change of perspective since cars are clearly king in the US.
Air conditioning is used sparingly
Overall, being in Europe taught us that we Americans overdo everything. We were in Europe during a heat wave and never got to experience the intoxicating feel of freezing cold air whenever we walked into a store. Usually it was actually better to sit outside of a restaurant rather than inside because the inside the heat was actually worse. We walked around with a constant layer of sweat. Amazingly, we all survived and even, I dare say, got used to the lack of air conditioning, although my husband may have some PTSD.
We were constantly curious
We were incessantly asking questions of each other and wondered about everything. Google was our best friend and our dinner conversations were often spent trying to learn more about the city we were in. Natural curiosity and questioning allowed for intelligent and engaging conversations. There was never a lack of something to talk about which is a true gift when you are sharing every meal together.
Different strengths emerged as we were challenged as a family
When we lived on the fourth floor of a walk up in Amsterdam, my daughter flexed her muscles and helped carry the suitcases down the stairs so my husband did not have to make two trips. When we were walking in circles in Paris, my son took over the GPS on the phone and taught me how to tell when we were going the wrong way. My husband and I happily shared the responsibilities with our newly capable kids and enjoyed the trip that much more because of it.
Getting lost is half the fun
We often made mistakes. We ended up on the wrong bus in Amsterdam, could not find a metro station in Paris (turned out it was under construction), we couldn't figure out how to work the key at our airbnb and many other moments. But these moments taught us that we could figure things out if we just took a moment to breathe and put our heads together. And sometimes getting lost took us to different neighborhoods that we would not have discovered otherwise. I hope we all were reminded that mistakes can sometimes open new opportunities and help us discover more about the world and about ourselves.
We appreciated the kindness of strangers
There were several people in each country that went out of their way to help us. The warm feeling of gratitude you feel when someone goes out of the way to help you is intoxicating. I hope my kids will remember what it was like to be confused and lost and will feel compassion towards others who are need of their help in the future.
Overall, our trip taught us that we can rely on each other and gave us an opportunity to meet challenges together. As our teenagers move towards adulthood I hope they always seek out our support and know that we have each other's back. At the same time, I hope they appreciate their role as global citizens and help those in need beyond our family as well.

There's something magical about planning your own wedding, from choosing a venue, deciding on music and designing a menu, to practising your makeup, picking out shoes and planning your honeymoon.
I was a DIY bride; I designed the stationery, made the decor and roped my family in to help set up the venue on the morning of my wedding. It wasn't someone else's idea of what a wedding should be, it was what we wanted it to be.
I know things can get a bit stressful when you're planning your own wedding, so in honour of the DIY brides, here are 3 unique hair accessories to make yourself, for yourself…

You couldn't blame him for thinking about it. He's been in the Senate for nearly 30 now. I asked Bingaman's spokeswoman Jude McCartin whether her boss had been stocking up on fishing equipment lately. Here's what she said:
I'm not sure where they got the information (there's no quote, like there was for Conrad). Sen. Bingaman doesn't typically make a decision about whether he'll run until late winter. But as I understand it, he did have a fund raising event a few weeks back and raised nearly $400,000.

Effect of Hinoki and Meniki Essential Oils on Human Autonomic Nervous System Activity and Mood States.
Meniki (Chamecyparis formosensis) and Hinoki (C. obtusa) are precious conifers with excellent wood properties and distinctive fragrances that make these species popular in Taiwan for construction, interiors and furniture. In the present study, the compositions of essential oils prepared from Meniki and Hinoki were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Thirty-six compounds were identified from the wood essential oil of Meniki, including Δ-cadinene, γ-cadinene, Δ-cadinol, α-muurolene, calamenene, linalyl acetate and myrtenol; 29 compounds were identified from Hinoki, including α-terpineol, α-pinene, Δ-cadinene, borneol, terpinolene, and limonene. Next, we examined the effect of Meniki and Hinoki essential oils on human autonomic nervous system activity. Sixteen healthy adults received Meniki or Hinoki by inhalation for 5 min, and the physiological and psychological effects were examined. After inhaling Meniki essential oil, participant's systolic blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were decreased, and diastolic blood pressure increased. In addition, sympathetic nervous activity (SNS) was significantly decreased, and parasympathetic activity (PSNS) was significantly increased. On the other hand, after inhaling Hinoki essential oil, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and PSNS were decreased, whereas SNA was increased. Indeed, both Meniki and Hinoki essential oils increased heart rate variability (HRV) in tested adults. Furthermore, in the Profile of Mood States (POMS) test, both Meniki and Hinoki wood essential oils stimulated a pleasant mood status. Our results strongly suggest that Meniki and Hinoki essential oils could be suitable agents for the development of regulators of sympathetic nervous system dysfunctions.

Last night my boyfriend and I decided to stay home and cook a delicious dinner. Said and done – we did! It was
probably the best dinner I've had in my life, not kidding. We made a "plank steak" (is there an other word for it
in English? in Swedish it is plankstek) with reindeer meat (that we bought in Kuusamo on our New Year vacation).
What else? Mashed potatoes made out of potatoes, yolk, some salt and coconut cream (so good!). Also cranberry jelly,
tomatoes with garlic butter on top, 3 different cheeses sauce with chantarelles and bacon wrapped green beans.
YUM. Everything was perfect. To this we shared a bottle of this wine.
For dessert we made flambéed apples with vanilla quark (+ dark rum, hazelnuts & cocoa nibs) on top. This is something we
make quite often since it never goes wrong, and is so delicious every time! Highly recommend this as a dessert.
So that was my perfect Saturday dinner. Now we're gonna try and
figure out what to do today. It's Sunday and we can do whatever we want!
Have a great Sunday! <3

Water and matter flux dynamics in catchments
We are most fortunate here in Germany and in most parts of Europe: thanks to sufficient water resources, sufficient precipitation and cutting-edge research and technology, our drinking water is clean, safe and affordable. But just how secure is this for the future, if matter flux dynamics change due to climate- and land-use change (e.g. through more intensive agricultural systems), enabling more nutrients to enter the water cycle?
Consequently, we are investigating water and matter flux dynamics in entire river catchments. We assume that spatial and temporal patterns of water-bound matter fluxes are controlled by the heterogeneity of catchment areas, specific functional zones as well as the dynamics of water flows and retention times. We need to be able to understand and quantify, when, where and how matter fluxes are mobilised, transported and converted. Only then, will we be able to predict the impacts that this will have on our surface waters and groundwater and come up with appropriate avoidance and mitigation strategies.

Amazon looks to expand in Saudi Arabia
Ecommerce giant Amazon is looking to expand in Saudi Arabia after founder and CEO Jeff Bezos met with the country's crown prince at the beginning of the month. The meeting was closely watched, and the prince had planned to discuss a potential project with the Ministry of Energy for Amazon to build a data center in the country. This would be Amazon's first such center in the Middle East, and see it extend its cloud business (which is already the biggest in the world) to new territories.
Amazon's share price has risen by 57% over the last 12 months
SOURCE: Yahoo Finance
At time of writing, it is not clear whether the proposed data center will come to fruition. However, what is clear is the fact that Amazon has started advertising for five new full time positions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital city. The company's subsidiary, Souq.com, has also added a further three positions in Dubai. Raf Fatani, Amazon's head of policy in the Middle East and Africa, Tweeted the positions last week, which include roles in Ecommerce, groceries, and "a government relations representative."
Amazon, which lost the Chinese market to Alibaba and is fighting for control of India, Brazil, and elsewhere, wants to build a secure business in the Middle East. Thus far, the region seems ripe for disruption – it has relatively high internet penetration rates, and an internet-savvy population, but has lagged behind in Ecommerce. As that picks up, Amazon wants to gain a firm foothold in a market that (taken together with Africa) is forecast to hit $49 billion by 2021, up from $21 billion this year.
Saudi Arabia is no stranger to American firms, as the U.S. is its largest investor. Sam Blatteis, CEO of the MENA Catalysts, a consultancy that aims to help tech companies expand into the Middle East, said: "The kingdom needs to increase foreign investment to help finance its ambitious reform and development agenda. This heightening American technology interest in Saudi Arabia really matters."

In it he talks about his new scholarly edition of The Long Lost Friend (a project for which I provided a minor bit of research), the Cthulhu Mythos, and let's say his passion for the zither. Give it a listen and increase your skill % in Cthulhu Mythos and Occult.

You can incorporate a company in Singapore with a minimum paid-up capital (also often known as share capital) of S$1 only. However, you must keep the following in mind:
01If you are applying for relocation visa Entrepreneur Pass (EntrePass), the company must have a minimum paid-up capital of S$50,000.
02If you are applying for relocation visa Employment Pass (EP), although there is no official minimum paid-up capital requirement, we recommend a paid-up capital of at least S$50,000 in order to improve chances of EP approval.
03If the company business is a regulated business (e.g. travel agency, recruitment agency, financial services, etc.), the minimum paid-up capital requirements will be dictated by the relevant licensing requirements.

US.and European Union negotiators appear close a fix for customer data-handling rules after a European court threw old regulations earlier this month.
Representatives of trade group the Direct Marketing Association said Wednesday they're encouraged with efforts to negotiate a replacement 15-year-old Safe Harbor Framework, a set of rules that allow US companies to import European personal data while complying with strict EU privacy regulations.
In early October, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Luxembourg struck down the data transfer rules, over concerns about U.S. surveillance programs.
'Agreement in Principle'
US Department of Commerce officials have been negotiating with their European counterparts in recent on a so-called "Safe Harbor 2.0," said Kelly DeMarchis, DMA's legal counsel and a member the Venable law firm.
European Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said Monday US and EU negotiators had reached an agreement in principle. Some technical discussions were ongoing, she said then.
Jourova's announcement "seemed to indicate some sense of urgency among European stakeholders, which is a good sign," DeMarchis said today.
Another important step came last week when the US House of Representatives passed the Judicial Redress Act, which would allow European citizens to file privacy lawsuits against US government agencies. That lack of legal protections for Europeans was one of the criticisms of the old Safe Harbor rules.
Two subcommittees in the US Congress will check on the status of the negotiations during a hearing next week.
The DMA is working to educate members about options for handling European customers' data in the interim, DeMarchis said.
U.S. companies handling European customer data have several options, added Christopher Oswald, DMA's vice president of advocacy.
US companies can adopt a set model contracts approved by the European Commission for handling personal data, or they can gather consent from individual customers to move their data, he said. Companies can also adopt new corporate rules for handling European data, he added.
"There are other alternatives outside of Safe Harbor and [companies] would do well to examine their own data flows from Europe and look at the alternatives to see which would serve the needs of their company," Oswald said.

the past
Still I get pitched on ideas I find far fetched and, frankly, a waste of time for smart entrepreneurs. There are many possible smart, ground breaking and really difficult directions to take in payments; the following ones are not, and anyone who understands payments will advise you to stay away from them.
The mobile wallet
: Square (PayWithSquare) isn't gaining traction.
gWallet is failing
. Serve isn't taking off and ISIS is… well, you get the picture. Mobile wallets aren't working: merchants are slow to adopt additional hardware that will allow them to accept these. NFC is years behind in adoption and many large and small players,
including me
, just don't believe in it. Consumers are slow to adopt a solution that gives them no advantage over credit cards, and even giants with big pockets can't get them hooked.
Signing people up and getting to add their credit cards is impossible without high, unsustainable customer acquisition spend. No startup can grow this way.
: I understand the rationale. Payments should be as easy as Liking something. People don't pay for content because it costs too much. We can start from digital goods and charge a large percentage that will cover costs.
It all sounds good until you realize that it doesn't work. Consumers don't pay for content by the pound since they are used to free content. Paywalls have limited success and even that success is always with big brands that spend millions on advertising, reducing market size to a minimum. More importantly, zero cost of goods sold –
a blessing and a curse
– allowed large take rates and supported many interesting business models, ones that cannot expand to any other vertical. Once you're hooked on these sweet 30% (or 10%), you can't really go to tangible goods with their lower margin and fraud and other issues. No payments company really grows out of that niche.
Split bills
: oh, the ever eluding perfect offline shopping experience. Entrepreneurs mean well – the experience does need a revamp. Is it really about not having to split a bill at a restaurant or the downtime of waiting for your check to arrive? As it turns out, these are very weak drivers to action when they are required to (again) sign up and add a credit card. It's not that consumers don't respond to call to action at those points; apps like
prove that they do. They just don't respond to THIS call to action. They want to do something, just not split the bill.
The reason is simple: the actual shopping experience, while indeed a big issue, is just the tip of the iceberg when you approach it as a payment application. What you're trying to build is the network of merchants and consumers, and you're again faced with the two sided chicken and egg problem, with a weak call to action to consumers and not so easy integration for merchants. Adoption never crosses the usual suspects on Emerson street in Palo Alto, and even they are growing tired.
Facebook Connect checkout
: an alternative to the previous idea, here we have an attempt to streamline online checkout. This one fails not only because consumers are not too enthusiastic about giving their Facebook details in financial settings – they are not – but also since much like with the mobile wallet idea, they have a current option they like just as much. Credit cards work, and no incremental solution is going to displace them anytime soon.
The payments landscape is fragmented, commoditized and highly competitive. It is ripe for disruption, but that disruption will not come from new card-based services but from innovations in payroll, cross border trade, emerging markets, new identity trust authorities and other interesting ideas. Research those, and stay away from ideas that will take you nowhere. We need your energy focused on the right things if we are to really see a change in the coming years.

The city of Sacramento has been trying in recent to secure a financing plan for a new arena that would keep the city's NBA team, the Kings, in town, and taxpayer advocacy groups have tried to force a public vote on whether the city should devote hundreds of millions of dollars to such a project every step of the way.
The city city council approved the $477 million arena deal in May, but this time, the main group seeking a public referendum on the project won't be able to challenge it, thanks to a procedure the council used to rubber stamp the funding. The council, according to the Sacramento Bee, passed the funding measure with a resolution that cannot be challenged by referendum, and so the plan will go forward without public challenge (via Field of Schemes):
Sacramento Taxpayers Opposed to Pork (STOP) determined that the City Council's approval of the financing plan is not subject to voter referendum because of the form of joint-powers authority the city created to issue the revenue bonds backing the project, said Jim Cathcart, one of the leaders of STOP.
"It's a big disappointment to us, needless to say," Cathcart said. Getting the signatures to force a referendum "was going to be a slam dunk, and we got very, very excited."
STOP has attracted scrutiny after previous referendum efforts because it reportedly took donations from Chris Hansen, a potential Kings buyer who wanted to move the team to Seattle. Still, more generally, rigging the process in a way that keeps voters from having a say in arena financing deals is a fairly common practice — the state of Minnesota specifically crafted its financing plan for a new Vikings stadium to avoid public referendum, and plenty of other cities have done the same. In other instances, opponents of such financing plans are shut out well before any potential referendum: last week in Cobb County, Georgia, proponents of a new Atlanta Braves stadium kept opponents from challenging it at a council meeting.
In some of these instances, including Cobb County and maybe even Sacramento, there already exists public support for these funding plans. But it's clear why cities, states, lawmakers, and teams don't want them subjected to public vote: introduce a referendum and you introduce debate. Introduce debate and you introduce the possibility of losing. So instead, they circumvent the public — even, sometimes, a public that is supportive — ensuring that the stadium gets funded but preventing the type of debate and discussion that could at the very least make these financing schemes smarter and less damaging to city budgets and services than they inevitably will be.

Chemtrails In The Sky: Atmospheric And Oceanic Geo-Engineering
September 30, 2010: Rosalind Peterson / Agriculture Defense Coalition – September 30, 2010
The Congressional Research Service released its new report on Geoengineering for members of the U.S. Congress on August 16, 2010. The U.S. House Science & Technology Committee will release their interim and final reports on their Geoengineering Hearings in September 2010. The U.S. House Science and Technology Committee on Geoengineering is working with the UK Parliament on Global Geoengineering Governance and has released its 5th Report (printed by the House of Commons) on March 10, 2010. All of these published reports are located below in the pdf file section.
Geoengineering is defined as planetary-scale environmental engineering of our atmosphere, our weather, the oceans, and the Earth itself. The methods, or schemes, that may be used now without public oversight or debate, prior public notification, U.S. Congress or State oversight, are staggering in number and scope.
(Update: We should all remember that volcanoes erupt each year negating the need for any geoengineering schemes to be deployed. In March 2010, a volcano in Iceland erupted and sent an ash cloud spreading over Europe which may last for months and may create global cooling along with acid rains which will have negative impacts on trees, water supplies, oceans, and soils. Earth's natural systems are still working…and we can't afford for man to add to these problems or exacerbate them by deploying more toxic chemicals and particles into the atmosphere to reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the Earth. Each unpredictable volcanic eruption on Earth has the same effect.
A few geoengineers have been on the news in recent days stating that the Iceland volcano will not cause any cooling…in order to keep promoting geoengineering as an option. It should be noted that other scientists have been stating for the news media that these volcanic plumes will change the weather and also that there are acid rains and human health problems which could be associated with this and other periodic eruptions.
Geoengineers had no advance notice of this eruption nor will they know when future eruptions will take place. Thus, we have to consider these natural events and measure their synergistic and cumulative effects before considering artificial geoengineering schemes. In addition, the synergistic and cumulative effects of their proposed geoengineering schemes, when natural volcanoes serve the same function, is unknown. It is now time to shelve man-made geoengineering schemes… – RP)
Many private corporations, universities, government agencies, private individuals, states, counties, and cities, have deployed, or will participate in deploying, a vast array of geoengineering experiments in the near future without public oversight or consent. Currently no government agency, or the U.S. Congress at this time, will have any idea what the cumulative or synergistic effects may be when these experiments are deployed. In addition, no one, not even the U.S. Congress or the public, will have any oversight of these programs, the chemicals or particles that will be used or how they will be implemented. Thus, action is needed today to prevent these questionable experiments.
The U.S. House Science & Technology Committee held their first Geoengineering Hearing on November 5, 2009. Two more were held in February and March 2010. The public, the Environmental Protection Agency, at either Federal or State levels, state agencies, agriculture representation, medical doctors, and ocean scientists were not asked to testify at this hearing or in the two subsequent hearings held in 2010. (C-SPAN did not tape or broadcast these hearings and the major media ignored them.)
The U.S. House Science & Technology Committee and the UK Parliament have engaged in an agreement to participate in geoengineering discussions and the possible implementation of global geoengineering governance proposed by the Royal Society and several climate scientists. Private and public meetings of climate scientists, with little media coverage, were initiated in February and March 2010, in California, in order to elaborate on possible geoengineering schemes and to discuss global geoengineering governance guidelines.
The purpose of one set of schemes are to initiate "Solar Radiation Management (SRM)" experiments. SRM is designed to reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the Earth. The consequences of these SRM schemes are unknown since planetary-scale engineering involves so many different geoengineering schemes with unknown cumulative and synergistic effects.
A key AAAS February 2010, geoengineering write-up states: "…Studies show, however, that people make judgments based primarily on their values, belief systems, world views, and emotions. Facts play a much more minor role. This gap cannot be bridged by loading the public with facts, or trying to make the public more science literate…" Thus, a whole series of presentations were made to advise geoengineers and others on how to manipulate the public so that they would support these schemes.
In a Press Release dated December of 2002 titled: "GEOENGINEERING TOO RISKY" A Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Press release warns, "…There are many reasons why geoengineering is not a preferred option for climate stabilization…" These prescriptions include risks of global "system failure" and the "unpredictable responses" of Earth's climate system to large-scale human intervention…"
On March 22-26, 2010, the Climate Respond Fund (note the partners listing in the document section below), sponsored the Asilomar International Conference on Climate Intervention Technologies in Monterey, California. The conference was designed to develop (global geoengineering governance) guidelines for "…research and testing of proposed climate intervention and geoengineering technologies…"
What are the consequences of deploying Solar Radiation Management geoengineering experiments?
1) Some of these experiments are designed to reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the Earth thus reducing the power output and the effectiveness of solar panels and solar cars.
2) Many proposed chemicals or particles used in these geoengineering schemes (i.e., U.S. Navy/NASA/C.A.R.E. experiments deployed September 19, 2009), are likely to be toxic to humans, marine mammals, oceans, fish, wildlife, food pollinators, and birds. Many of these toxic chemicals, like sulfur, have the potential to contaminate drinking water, soil, cause acid rain or air pollution, and may impair human health from lack of Vitamin D, by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth.
3) NASA research studies show that increasingly persistent jet contrails may turn into "man-made clouds" (or white haze), and are "…trapping warmth in the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming…Any change in global cloud cover may contribute to long-term changes in the Earth's climate…" No current U.S. legislation addresses water vapor and aviation impacts on the global atmosphere. In addition, our scientists do not appear to be funding or working toward reducing or eliminating this problem. What happens when additional programs are put in place to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth when we already have man-made clouds dimming the sun and exacerbating global warming?
4) SRM may limit Honey Bee food pollination because the bee navigates and communicates through the use of ultraviolet light. And we have no idea what the cumulative impacts of toxic chemicals, particles, and reduced sunlight will have on all of our pollinators, endangering food production.
5) Photosynthesis is required for the majority of life on Earth to exist, along with healthy trees, and food crop production. When cloud cover and reduced sunlight is present, crop production drops. When direct sunlight and normal rainfall is present, crop production increases. What happens when geoengineers deliberately reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the Earth? What are the consequences of multiple uncontrolled experiments?
The climate scientists and geoengineers all have one repeated mantra: "…Geoengineering is not a solution to climate change and global warming…" They are instead enlisting support to spend enormous sums to buy time to do something later. Just what research, project funding, and development are they now engaging in to fix our current pollution problems now? Nothing! They are not promoting research into benefits that will be long-lasting or make a difference now.
The "temporary fix" theory with "unknown consequences" seems to be their only contribution to the disaster they predict. Should the public be willing to accept this temporary fix with unknown consequences? This attitude is unacceptable because those conducting the geoengineering experiments will be unaccountable if their experiments go awry or create profound negative consequences.
Professor Benford wrote the following regarding the public in a Reason.com article in 1997: "…But perhaps the greatest unknown is social: How will the politically aware public react–those who vote, anyway? If geoengineers are painted early and often as Dr. Strangeloves of the air, they will fail. Properly portrayed as allies of science–and true environmentalism–they could become heroes… A major factor here will be whether mitigation looks like yet another top-down contrivance, another set of orders from the elite. Draconian policing of fuel burning will certainly look that way, a frowning Aunt Bessie elbowing into daily details…In contrast, mitigation does not have to push a new camel's nose into our tents… Technical solutions can play out far from people's lives, on the sea or high in the air…Once we become caretakers, we cannot stop…(they) must be carried forward in the shadow of our stewardship…"
Instead of questionable geoengineering experiments, all reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, at their source, should be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and all funding should go to the EPA for developing alternative energy and transportation. Scientists and researchers should be funded to invent ways to use waste energy from currently operating energy plants to produce clean, green power, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is where funding should be directed…not to those programs and experiments that will not reduce our impact on Earth from various types of pollution sources. The energy of the geoengineers should be redirected to solve pollution problems, not add to them.
On June 10, 2010 the U.S. Senate voted to uphold a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court Decision, that allows the EPA to regulate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
EPA regulation of greenhouse gases is the ideal solution because they can start today and the U.S. can lead the world in taking immediate action instead of waiting until 2017, under U.S. Senate Bill 1733, or 2020 under the United Nations Copenhagen Accord. The hitch in both U.S. Senate Bill 1733 (or the new one to be introduced by Senators Kerry & Lieberman), and the U.N. Accord on Climate Change is that no reductions are planned until either 2017 or 2020, and then only a 10-20% reduction in greenhouse gas emission is on the table at this time – nothing that starts today…which means, due to the long delay and limited reductions, that there must be no greenhouse crisis?
Our local, county, state and federal representatives should take immediate action to stop these geoengineering scheme deployments until scientists from every field, agriculture interests, ocean scientists, marine biologists, and the public have had time to thoroughly investigate these schemes and their effects on the Earth's environment. No one has the right to use the Earth, or Earth's atmosphere, as a giant experimental physics laboratory due to the unknown consequences of such actions.
State and U.S. Congressional Hearings should be immediately held in order to completely investigate the consequences of proposed and ongoing geoengineering experiments by any individual, state, county, private corporation, the U.S. military, university or U.S. government agencies on agriculture, crop production, human health, and our oceans. There is a lot at stake and all of us should make our voices heard in this debate. End
Note: Professor Gregory Benford of U.C. Irving stated in his article on Arctic Geoengineering on November 20, 2006: "…This idea is only the first step in making climate science…into an active science… This is not a new transition in scientific style…We will live inside the experiment …The main thrust of all this is to carefully use our ability to attack warming at its roots – incoming sunlight now, carbon dioxide later… Costs seem readily attainable – perhaps a few hundred of millions of dollars for an Arctic experiment. High altitude trials over the open ocean are little constrained by law or treaty, so show-stopper politics may be avoided…"
Funding: January 28, 2010 Wired Science: Bill Gates has sunk at least $4.5 million of his personal wealth into geoengineering research. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/bill-gates-paying-for-climate-hacking-resear
"…While it's a small chunk of Gates' vast personal fortune, it's a sign that the founder of Microsoft thinks we should at least be looking into the controversial practice of intentionally altering the Earth's climate on a global scale. "[Gates] views geoengineering as a way to buy time, but it's not a solution to the problem" of climate change, Gates' spokesperson John Pinette told Science Insider. "Bill views this as an important avenue for research — among many others, including new forms of clean energy."
The money will be directed by two high-level scientists at the forefront of geoengineering research: climate scientist Ken Caldeira, of Stanford's Carnegie Department of Global Ecology, and physicist David Keith of the University of Calgary. They will decide which technologies should receive the cash in order to alter the stratosphere to reflect solar energy, filter carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and brighten ocean clouds…"
"…In a related development Keith, one of the scientists directing Gates' money, co-authored a Nature editorial this week calling for an international fund for "solar-radiation management" in addition to traditional carbon emissions cuts. "Solar-radiation management may be the only human response that can fend off rapid and high-consequence climate change impacts," Keith said in a press release Wednesday… He and his co-authors, Edward Parson at the University of Michigan and Granger Morgan at Carnegie Mellon University, propose a budget for solar-radiation management (aka geoengineering), beginning with $10 million a year now and growing to $1 billion annually by the end of 2020. The organization that manages the funds would also develop the governance structures to provide transparent risk analysis and manage feedback from the world's countries…" Thus, there would be no Congressional or public oversight…complete freedom to use the oceans and the atmosphere as a private physics laboratory… [read more below]
