In this area few men's mere presence has impacted the public image of African American lawyers, as did the late State Appellate Court Justice Clinton White. An Oakland resident, and native of Sacramento, he was the voice of the African American legal community, long before he became first an Alameda County Superior Court Judge in 1977 and later a State Appellate Court Justice. Although, others were fighting aggressively for racial equality within the judicial system, no one fought for African Americans like he did. In the tradition of national civil rights lawyers, like Charles Houston, Thurgood Marshall and William Hastie, Clint White, as he was known before becoming a judge, viewed the law as an instrument to achieve social justice. In the 1950s, '60s and '70s, he was the consummate lonely warrior representing African Americans in courtrooms where the odds were perpetually stacked against them. -more-

The family later moved back to San Francisco's Chinatown, where Lee attended elementary and middle school and later worked as a bank teller.

Dangerous, Do not Touch
Recent evidence shows that physicians are less likely to report errors made in the course of patient treatment. The reason most often cited for this lack of reporting was fear of legal action. Thus, this has become a significant obstacle in improving patient care and working towards safer and more efficient methods. Recently, many programs began implementing anonymous reporting systems as a way to circumvent this fear, in the hope that reporting of adverse events would increase.
The program director of the Mad House Medicine Residency program announced that he would install a reporting system on our residency website. The system would be completely anonymous and would allow the interns and residents to report situations in which patient safety was endangered in various ways. It was, after all, a relief. A system of instituting interventions which ultimately will lead to less morbidity and mortality.
But then how was I expected to restrain myself from reporting what I know to be the greatest danger in our hospital? Believe me, I tried. But unfortunately, one day after the system was instituted, much to my dismay, I found myself writing an email that clearly explained what I thought to be the most threatening factor to the future health of my patients:
"Medical Students, Interns, Nurses, and Me".

... We
found an old resort in such beautiful location. It situates on a secluded beach, tip of the cape facing Maenam Bay. The view is stunning, day and night. The hi-light is this tip of the cape is one of the only beaches with sunset view on this side of Koh Samui.
"Stunning view" we heard from most people sitting there watching sunset. We found out later it's not only the view of the beautiful sunset; it is the view of the whole Maenam Bay, which would only be seen from here. It is breath taking while the sun is setting and all lights from those places on the beach are turned on.
Its uniqueness of the access to the outside world didn't leave us any choice for the name of this hotel, (We have to go up and down a sloping hillside to get there). So we named it
It seems to be "away from everything" but it is very close to such cool places like "Maenam Beach" and the famous "Fisherman Village". Both places have lots of cool shops and restaurants transformed to be a "local market walking street" on certain days.
Escape is set out to be a place for travelers and global nomads. It is the place for having fun and relaxing time, away from everything. The design is organic and rustic. As we use raw and bold materials to create friendly and relaxing atmosphere.
The price is fair and encouraging guests to stay for a long period of time. It is our "Mission Statement". We set our goal to create "Good quality place in reasonable price". It has to worth every penny. Above all, we intend to build a place that's realistic to itself.
"Wherever you are - You should feel like you're there"...
we provide our guests with all amenities to ensure their stay is cozy and comfortable.

A long time ago, a little while back, a South side genius got screwed up on everything he could lay his happy hands on and manged to wander into Sylvania, Ohio, where he drove through Main Lady's front yard with reckless abandon, smacked into her happy home and promptly took to his heels. You can read all about it if you've a mind to in this entry: Hit and Run, which comes complete with photos.
The other day Main Lady got a call from the Sylvania Court. It seems that the wheels of justice have finally completed one revolution, the guilty party is going to be sentenced and has she ever been reimbursed for the damage this pinhead caused? No, she hasn't. Curiosity prompted me to see what was up, and after a complex search here's what I was able to find out.
This whole business took over two years to before it cleared the milestone of sentencing. Now the joker has to make restitution. Fat chance. Anyway, here's the step by painful step of the entire process as gathered from the docket of the Sylvania Court system.

Release Of Warrant Block Sent To Bmv
Two years and two months later this choir boy gone wrong gets off with a suspended sentence, drug and alcohol treatment and has to pass a series of drug screens. After that he's free to resume his previous lifestyle. My only thought is that with a DUI charge on his record he'll have a hard time getting insurance in the future, but then he'll likely just drive without it.
It took two years for our lousy court system to deal with this meatball who was so screwed up that he took out a stop sign and slammed into Main Lady's house. You know how screwed up you have to be in order to pull something like this off? I don't think I've ever been that hammered in my entire life!
My hard spot with this is that the punishment is completely ineffective. It took the court system over two years to deal with something that should take two weeks at the very most. Suspending the man's license for 8 months is not going to prevent him from driving. He can get behind the wheel of a car anytime at all and play dodge 'em with the local police - and even if the police see him driving, how will they know he's an unlicensed driver? The same it true for auto insurance. It's against the law in the State of Ohio to drive without auto insurance, but that law doesn't stop anyone from driving without it. They'll just drive the car anyway and avoid accidents.
Now, if this man had been made to sit in jail all this time I'll bet the whole business would have been over and done with in two weeks, instead of two years.

text: ERP Implementations are complex! So many moving variables among which key decisions are to be made. One of the challenges is to get good visibility on breakdown structure of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Following diagram will help you. You can use this during various stages of the project (Initiations/discovery – developing business case, Vendor Selection, Implementation etc.). All the cost elements may not be applicable to you. For example, if you choose to implement SaaS offering, Hardware elements are not applicable to you. Trust you will find this breakdown structure helpful!

This restaurant has been much awaited. Afterall, the Chef, Sophie Pic comes from a long line of 3-star Michelin pedigrees, starting with her grandfather André Pic, and father Jacques Pic at restaurant "Maison Pic". And, on September 24, 2007, Chef Sophie was elected "head of the year" by the eight thousand heads listed in the Michelin guide. This is the first woman to receive this award, established in 1987. She was also named best woman Chef in the world by Veuve Clicquot. In addition, she has a 2-star Michelin restaurant in Lausanne Switzerland, Restaurant Anne-Sophie Pic.
So, there has been much hype and fanfare about the opening of her new restaurant, La Dame de Pic. Right away as you walk by the restaurant, the chefs are prominently featured through the window. I loved the décor of the restaurant with it's white on white (wall paintings are actually white paper cuttings) and simplicity. For Paris it has a large number of tables.
What caught my eye as soon as we sat at the table was the water goblets. They were baccarat crystal. And, being as nosey as I am I checked the silverware and the knives were made special by "C&B Lefevre" with Madame Pic's monogram and, for the first set of silverware, were stamped, which lead me to believe they were sterling.
This is not an inexpensive restaurant. You had 4-choices for lunch. The prix fixe menus were 49€ (menu déjeuner), 79€, 100€ and 120€ respectively. Two of us opted for the 49€, which included an entrée, plat, and dessert, while one person opted for the 100€ special, which included 2 entrées in addition to the plat and dessert. The wine selection was extremely expensive. We got 2-bottles of the "Domaine des roches neuve" which was the most affordable at 27€ each.
Firstly, we were given 3-strips of fragrances. At first I thought it was scratch and sniff: The strips composed of vanille ambrée, iode et fleur, and sous bois épice, which were the names of the 3 expensive pre-fix menus. We were told to sniff these as sort of a start of the meal. They seemingly had no correlation whatsoever with the meals we were having. I thought it was bizarre and way too gimmicky. And, we actually thought they smelled awful, oh well.
Secondly, we got an amuse bouche of two types of buttered manufactured by Madame Pic, with various types of bread. As all butters in France, they were good, but really nothing out of the ordinary.
We'll start with the 49€ menu. For the entrée we had the "Le veloute de potiron" (orange, café, cardamone verte), I actually like this dish a lot. It was a pumpkin soup with finely ground coffee lightly sprinkled on top. And, then you had a nice surprise, because as you dug into the soup you got a panna cotta like custard which gave the dish a dual texture. It gave it a little more complexity and sophistication.
For our plat we had the "Les Supions, gnocchis aux épices douces, grenobloise fève tonka" a squid, and gnocchi dish. The dish was good, but it was way, way too tart for me. It was bathed in a vinagarette of lemon and olive oil with capers. Do not order this dish unless you like tart! The squid was very tender and nicely poached, and the gnocchis were firm, cooked well without it being "mushy."
For our dessert we had the "Les myrtilles au thé matcha." Blueberries with a green tea cake. The presentation was absolutely beautiful. I thought the green tea cake was delicious. The little purple egg like pouch hid some confiture of blueberries. Once I broke into the pouch and tasted it, it was way, way too sweet for me. It was basically sweet on sweet.
Now for the 100€ menu. For the entrée our friend had the "L'huitre speciale gillardeau, chou-fleur, jasmine" which were oysters, cauliflower, jasmine. The oysters were surrounded in a cauliflower sauce or thick soup. We all thought it was kind of bland, and the oysters were good, but nothing out of the ordinary.
For the second entrée, he had the "La Sardine de mediterranee poireaux, thé matcha", sardines with leeks and a green tea. The dish was served warm. We all liked the sardines, because they tasted like sardines should taste, strong and bold. The poireaux (leeks) were really good (actually he said orgasmic). And, the accompanying green tea sauce was very subtle and good. But nothing really out of the ordinary or outstanding other than the 'orgasmic' leeks.
For his plat, he had "La poularde fermiere, couteaux, épinards, fleurs d'oranger", which is free ranged chicken, with spinach orange blossom. Although it was cooked nicely and moist, for the French it might have been perfect, but for us, we found the dish really dull and uninspiring. Almost like cooking chicken breast without any seasoning. And the spinach was nothing out of the ordinary.
For the dessert, he had the "La poire William, reglisse, violette", a pear with licorice and violets. The pear was a bit over-poached. It almost felt as if the pear could've come from a can. The soft almost set ice cream was very non-descript. He also had the pouch, but it was filled with a sort of lemony simple syrup. And, as for the licorice flavor, it didn't exist.
In addition, we were also also served little cookies
Summary: The restaurant is beautiful in its simplicity. What I found odd was they had these beautiful baccarat water glasses and some sterling silverware and some cutlery especially made for Madame Pic with her monogram, but they served wine in cheap restaurant glasses, strange in its inconsistency. This is definitely an upscale restaurant. Madame Pic's name brings caché. The service was impeccable. We must've had 5 different people serving us, but it wasn't at all intrusive. The maitre'd would occasionally stop by and ask us how our food was. And, before each meal, the wait-person explained each dish. Now for the overall experience, we thought it was very pretentious and even gimmicky. Some of the dishes were really good and extraordinary while others lacked any depth or the "wow" factor expected from a Michelin star Chef. The 100€ pre-fix was absolutely not worth the money. Some might even argue the 49€, which is the lowest priced lunch menu is a better deal. So, if you love "pomp and circumstance" you will love this restaurant. But I personally prefer a more "down-to-earth" eating experience. Total bill for 3 with wine came to 267€. My 3 star overall rating reflects the extremely poor 'price to value' ratio and was actually buoyed by the non-food experiences- superior welcome, service, and decor.

Good morning and welcome to Bear Bites, your morning rundown of Chicago Bears news. Read on for the latest on what the Bears are looking for at the combine, where they might find offensive line help and Brian Urlacher's future.
- There's no question the Bears need help at offensive line. The question is whether they will look to the draft or free agency to upgrade the line. (Chicago Tribune)
- In past years, the Bears' draft needs have been clear. That has changed this year, as the Bears could ignore the line. (Chicago Sun-Times)
- The combine is fun to watch, but it's not everything. A former NFLer points out how the combine doesn't say much about the character of a football player. (Chicago Tribune)
- But that doesn't mean the combine isn't valuable. Check out how to break down the statistics of the combine. (National Football Post)
- It's possible Brian Urlacher's tenure with the Bears is over. But do he and the Bears need each other? (Chicago Tribune)

whatlanguageis.com started as a proof-of-concept of a simple idea: using stopwords as a mean to identify a language. Stopwords are the glue in common speach, and are usually among the most common words. As you may guess if you think about it, in English the is a stopword (and a frequent word, too!)Python's Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) offers a set of stopwords for several languages, and in my language identification proof-of-concept, written in Python, I use these sets. The method is easy so far: get the most common words in the text and compare with known stopword lists, which act as a kind of virtual language fingerprint. The language with the most hits is the winner! Problem: stopwords are not a good fingerprint.
This approach is just a dirty hack: it usually works but needs quite a lot of text to do so. It didn't bother me at all the day I wrote it in just like 30 lines of Python, but then ... One day I woke up, decided I wanted to learn Python web development and started reading the Django book. This resulted in a hunt for a simple project to test I understood the basic concepts behind the MVC model that Django offers, and I ended writing whatlanguageis.com as a test of it. Look, it works!
Now that the site is up and running though, I want to improve the language detection backend. How?
- Stop using stopwords and use custom-made corpora. A corpus (whose plural is corpora) is a set of words extracted from a document. I have to choose adequate documents for this to work.
- Since I will be using custom-made corpora I will be able to add many more languages... Hopefully I will also add programming languages.
- Improve the printing of results, adding a range when needed. The identifier assigns a score to each language... And currently the maximum gets all. I.e. if English has 5 and German and Dutch have 4, we'll get English as language, when German and Dutch are also likely choices. I want to output in this case something like This is quite likely an English text, but may also be German or Dutch.
As you may imagine, this is quite a lot of work, and also clashes with some of my other projects... But some day or another that beta sign in the upper-left corner in whatlanguageis.com will be gone.

While the ratings for Raw appear to be low, it's not really as bad it seems. Anywhere from 8 to 10% of Raw viewers DVR the show on a weekly basis. 410,000 viewers watched last week's edition of Raw on DVR, or about 8%, meaning the actual rating was closer to a 3.45. The final rating was a 3.18. Besides The Hills on MTV, WWE Raw is the most DVRed cable show in the country. So if you take DVR viewing into account, the rating for Raw would really be about 0.3 points higher. However, the same can't be said for SmackDown, ECW and TNA Impact as 3.3% (or less) of the viewers of those shows watch it on DVR.
People in management are said to be down on Chris Jericho at the moment.
According to an article on Merinews.com, The Great Khali has plans to open up a wrestling school for children in Mumbai, India. Khali will soon be heading home to India for the first time in almost two years, and according to his brother, will be staying there for at least one month.

A Cake for Emma
A Cake for Emma.
At The Hurlingham Club, London.
Sugar roses, sugar leaves and petals on this three tier cake.
I was worried about the heat in the main entrance/conservatory structure at The hurlingham. It was a very hot day!
The sugar roses are the best I have ever made.
Bordering the Thames in Fulham and set in 42 acres of magnificent grounds, The Hurlingham Club is a green oasis of tradition and international renown. Recognised throughout the world as one of Britain's greatest private members' clubs, it retains its quintessentially English traditions and heritage, while providing modern facilities and services for its members. The Club continually looks at ways in which it can improve, for both current and future generations, the first-class social and sporting facilities within an elegant and congenial ambience.

Children, children, everywhere! God has blessed Haiti with so many beautiful little ones, and what a joy it is to spend the day holding and sharing the love of God with them. Today we went to La Loo, an orphanage in Port-Au-Prince. Unfortunately, the needs in Haiti are so vast that it feels like we are not doing enough. However, we need to remember that God makes much of little. Like with the bread and fish that He multiplied to feed 5,000 plus men! All we need to do is follow Gods call and allow him to work a miracle. God is the only one capable of controlling that child's fate. We need to trust His plan and serve Him with a whole heart. Though it may feel like we are not doing much. Know we are making a difference in each and every child's life that we touch, hold, and play with. God is smiling in heaven when we are loving His children.
We also were blessed to be able to visit the General Hospital here, and visit the pediatrics section of the hospital. We went in, talked with the sick kids and their families, asked for prayer requests, and prayed with them. It was so powerful to do all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Thankful to be able to come to God with all of our requests, even for our fellow brothers & sisters here in Christ in Haiti.
Our words of the day were: Soften, receptive, able, contrast, power, heartbreak, comfort, spoiled, warrior, joy, struggle, proud, and ordained.

From Darwin's "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex" (Chapter III, "Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower
Animals" – 2nd Ed., Revised, A. L. Burt, New York, 1890(?))
[NB: This book, published in 1871, – like nearly all books on sociology and anthropology written in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries – contains terminology that is very harsh to modern ears. Darwin was not a racist; he considered all human beings on the planet to be part of the human race, regardless of skin color or stage of cultural development. Neither did he look down upon what he and other scientists of his time called "savage" or "barbarian" tribes of human beings. Still, he was a man of his times, and he represents a stage in the evolution of anti-racist thought; for example, as enlightened as he was for a man of his time on the subject of race, he thought nothing of drawing a direct comparison between the thought processes of human beings living in a state of "savagery" and the thought processes of his dog. At the same time he, like many others – particularly pioneering American anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan (1818-1881) – understood that the ancestors of all "civilized" people in the more advanced "civilized" nations had lived for a long time in a state of "savagery" characterized by very rudimentary development of culture compared to the modern nation-states. They saw in the primitive cultures of "savage" tribes a vision of what their own ancestors must have lived like. Morgan, in his excellent book "Ancient Society: Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, through Barbarism to Civilization" (1877) – developed a theory that all modern human civilizations had passed through a series of evolutionary stages (as the subtitle of the book states quite clearly). That there were tribes in existence in 1870 which reflected all of these stages of development was a profound scientific discovery and provided a powerful proof of the evolution of human society. Today, modern sociologists and anthropologists recognize the truth of Morgan's analysis of the evolution of human civilization, but use terms that are less politically loaded with what many people – incorrectly, in the cases of Morgan and Darwin – perceive to be a blatant racism on the part of the scientists who originated the older terminology. Used in the proper purely scientific manner of Morgan and Darwin "savage" "barbarian" and "civilized" are seen in their correct light as stages of development of the human race which make no assertion as to the intellectual superiority or inferiority of the human beings found at any stage of this evolutionary ladder. Morgan's pioneering work deeply influenced both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; his book "Ancient Society" was among the principal works which inspired Marx to prepare notes for what would eventually become, after Marx's death, Engels' "Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State", which quotes Morgan's work extensively. Darwin's major works deeply influenced Marx and Engels from the time of their initial publication: "Only 1,250 copies of the first edition of On the Origin of Species were printed, and they all sold in one day. One of those who obtained a copy was Friedrich Engels."(1) Everything written by Marx and Engels after the publication of "Origin of Species" in 1859 was thoroughly influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution. When Marx finished "Capital" in 1867 he sent Darwin an inscribed copy of the first edition(1); Darwin's work is referenced (sometimes extensively) in "The Part Played by Labour In The Transition From Ape to Man" (1876), "Anti-Duhring" (1877), "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" (1880), "Dialectics of Nature" (1883) and the aforementioned "Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" (1884).
[UPDATE: Thanks to the Internet, we've been able to locate almost every journal article and book Darwin cites in his footnotes to this article. Since we found two errors in his citations which might well have made it extremely difficult for researchers and historians of science to locate these works, it is even possible that we are the first researchers to have found at least these two previously misidentified sources.
NOTES: (1) "Marx, Engels… and Darwin?" by Ian Angus, International Socialist Review (November 2010)
Excerpt from "Descent of Man", Chapter III, "Comparison of the Mental Powers of Man and the Lower Animals":
Belief in God – Religion. — There is no evidence that man was aboriginally endowed with the ennobling belief in the existence of an Omnipotent God. On the contrary there is ample evidence, derived not from hasty travelers, but from men who have long resided with savages, that numerous races have existed, and still exist, who have no idea of one or more gods, and who have no words in their
languages to express such an idea.(1) The question is of course wholly distinct from that higher one, whether there exists a Creator and Ruler of the universe; and this has been answered in the affirmative by some of the highest intellects that have ever existed.
If, however, we include under the term "religion" the belief in unseen or
spiritual agencies, the case is wholly different; for this belief seems to be universal with the less civilized races. Nor is it difficult to comprehend how it
arose. As soon as the important faculties of the imagination, wonder, and curiosity, together with some power of reasoning, had become partially developed, man would naturally crave to understand what was passing around him, and would have vaguely speculated on his own existence. As Mr. M'Lennan (2) has remarked, " Some explanation of the phenomena of life, a man must feign for himself, and to judge from the universality of it, the simplest hypothesis, and the first to occur to men, seems to have been that natural phenomena are ascribable to the presence in animals, plants, and things, and in the forces of nature, of such spirits prompting to action as men are conscious they themselves possess." It is also probable, as Mr. Tylor has shown, that dreams may have first given rise to the notion of spirits; for savages do not readily distinguish between subjective and objective impressions. When a savage dreams, the figures which appear before him are believed to have come from a distance, and to stand over him; or "the soul of the dreamer goes out on its travels, and comes home with a remembrance of what it has seen."(3) But until the faculties of imagination, curiosity, reason, etc., had been fairly well developed in the mind of man, his dreams would not have led him to believe in spirits, any more than in the case of a dog.
The tendency in savages to imagine that natural objects and agencies are animated by spiritual or living essences, is perhaps illustrated by a little fact which I once noticed: my dog, a full-grown and very sensible animal, was lying
on the lawn during a hot and still day; but at a little distance a slight breeze occasionally moved an open parasol, which would have been wholly disregarded by the dog had any one stood near it. As it was, every time that the parasol slightly moved the dog growled fiercely and barked. He must, I think, have reasoned to himself in a rapid and unconscious manner that movement without
any apparent cause indicated the presence of some strange living agent, and that no stranger had a right to be on his territory.
The belief in spiritual agencies would easily pass into the belief in the existence of one or more gods. For savages would naturally attribute to spirits the same passions, the same love of vengeance or simplest form of justice, and the same affections which they themselves feel.
The Fuegians appear to be in this respect in an intermediate condition, for when the surgeon on board the "Beagle" shot some young ducklings as specimens York Minster declared in the most solemn manner: " Oh, Mr. Bynoe, much rain, much snow, blow much;" and this was evidently a retributive punishment for wasting human food. So again he related how, when his brother killed a " wild man," storms long raged, much rain and snow fell. Yet we could never discover that the Fuegians believed in what we should call a God or practiced any religious rites; and Jemmy Button, with justifiable pride, stoutly maintained that there was no devil in his land. This latter assertion is the more remarkable, as with savages the belief in bad spirits is far more common than that in good ones.
The feeling of religious devotion is a highly complex one, consisting of love, complete submission to an exalted and mysterious superior, a strong sense of dependence(4), fear, reverence, gratitude, hope for the future, and perhaps other elements. No being could experience so complex an emotion until advanced in his intellectual and moral faculties to at least a moderately high level. Nevertheless, we see some distant approach to this state of mind in the deep love of a dog for his master, associated with complete submission, some fear, and perhaps other feelings. The behavior of a dog when returning to his master after
an absence, and, as I may add, of a monkey to his beloved keeper, is widely different from that toward their fellows. In the latter case the transports of joy appear to be somewhat less, and the sense of equality is shown in every action. Prof. Braubach goes so far as to maintain that a dog looks on his master as on a god.(5)
The same high mental faculties which first led man to believe in unseen
spiritual agencies, then in fetichism, polytheism, and ultimately in monotheism, would infallibly lead him, as long as his reasoning powers remained poorly developed, to various strange superstitions and customs. Many of these are terrible to think of — such as the sacrifice of human beings to a blood-loving god; the trial of innocent persons by the ordeal of poison or fire, witchcraft, etc.
— yet it is well occasionally to reflect on these superstitions, for they show us what an infinite debt of gratitude we owe to the improvement of our reason, to science, and to our accumulated knowledge. As Sir J. Lubbock(6) has well observed, " it is not too much to say that the horrible dread of unknown evil hangs like a thick cloud over savage life and embitters every pleasure." These miserable and indirect consequences of our highest faculties may be compared with the incidental and occasional mistakes of the instincts of the lower animals.

in the "Anthropological Review," Aug., 1864, p. 217. [Note by IWPCHI: this part of this footnote is inaccurate: the actual publication this appeared in was "The Journal of the Anthropological Society of London", Vol. 2 (1864), pp. ccxvii-ccxxii, "On the Universality of Belief in God, and in a Future State"]; For further facts see Sir J. Lubbock, "Prehistoric Times, ".3d edit., 1869, p. 564; and especially the chapters on Religion in his " Origin of Civilization," 1870.

(3) Tylor, "Early History of Mankind," 1865, p. 6. See also the three striking chapters on the Development of Religion, in Lubbock's "Origin of Civilization," 1870. In a like manner Mr. Herbert Spencer, in his ingenious essay in the "Fortnightly Review " (May 1, 1870, p. 535), accounts for the earliest forms of religious belief throughout the world, by man being led through dreams, shadows, and other causes, to look at himself as a double essence, corporeal
and spiritual. As the spiritual being is supposed to exist after death and to be powerful, it is propitiated by various gifts and ceremonies, and its aid invoked. He then further shows that names or nicknames given from some animal or other object, to the early progenitors or founders of a tribe, are supposed after a long interval to represent the real progenitor of the tribe; and such animal or object is
then naturally believed still to exist as a spirit, is held sacred, and worshiped as a god. Nevertheless I cannot but suspect that there is a still earlier and ruder stage, when anything which manifests power or movement is thought to be endowed with some form of life, and with mental faculties analogous to our own.

Best Accounting Programs (5)
November 25, 2016
Account packages vary from the very primary private program, the small business program, the medium enterprise program and the big firm program. Though accounting follow believes in persevering with entity idea i.e. lifetime of the enterprise is perpetual but nonetheless it has to report the 'results of the exercise undertaken in specific interval (normally one yr). This 'cost' serves the premise for the accounting of this asset through the subsequent interval. The Bureau of Labor Statistics tasks that 142,400 new accounting and auditing jobs will open up by 2024. Kelley's accounting curriculum explores the relationship between business selections and the bottom line. Thus accounting makes an attempt to current the features or losses earned or suffered by the enterprise through the period below overview. Critics point out that conservation to an excess diploma will end result within the creation of secret reserve.
Choose among a number of high degree applications: Bachelor of Science, conventional MBA, MBA in Accounting (a three/2 program), Master of Science in Accounting (MSA), and PhD. A job with a low stress level, good work-life stability and strong prospects to improve, get promoted and earn a higher wage would make many staff blissful. According to the BLS, the median annual salary for an accountant was $sixty five,940 in 2014.
In addition to the CPA certification, accountants may need to get the Certified Management Accountant certification, which requires a bachelor's diploma, two years of work in administration accounting and passing an examination. So we must determine the income earned during a particular accounting period and the bills incurred to earn these revenues. The earnings and bills proven in an income assertion must each seek advice from the same items transferred or providers rendered through the accounting interval. Get a taste of what accounting is actually like by way of internships, discipline consulting, and area study in the United States and overseas.
Due to this idea it is necessary to take into account through the accounting interval, all objects of revenue and expenses accruing on the date of the accounting year. Though the enterprise is a continuous affair but its continuity is artificially break up into a number of accounting years for figuring out its periodic outcomes. Accounting was lately named one of the 10 most worthwhile" college majors for its numerous job alternatives and excessive starting salaries.
The conference of feasibility emphasizes that the time, labor and price of analyzing accounting data needs to be in contrast vis-à-vis profit arising out of it. For example, the cost of 'oiling and greasing' the equipment is so small that its break-up per unit produced will likely be meaningless and can quantity to wastage of labor and time of the accounting employees.

Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 12 Review: Harder, Better, Faster, StrongerJasmine Blu at . Updated at .
How are Meredith and Jo going to pull off their project without a patent?
On Grey's Anatomy Season 14 Episode 12, medicine was at the forefront. The doctors spent a significant amount of time coming up with and pitching innovative new ideas for a contest.
GSM's finest focusing on the medical part of the job rather than their various relationships, or whatever other drama the show typically tosses at us regularly, was refreshing.
This is the third installment in a row that served as a PSA. Statistics were run off in rapid-fire succession, be it the stats on maternal and fetal death during and directly after childbirth, or the percentage of the trans suicide rate.
Grey's Anatomy kept them coming. Statistics are fantastic within reason, but when they run together, it feels like a lecture during a seminar. That was the issue during this hour; after a bit, eyes glazed over.
Otherwise, it was great to see the docs passionate about breaking new medical ground. The competitive spirit was at an all-time high, but they all managed to inspire one another, too. Not to mention the fact that all of their submitted ideas were interesting.
First up is Jackson. Jackson and Catherine's relationship is like a pendulum, either you love it or hate it. This time around, it was in "love it" territory. Catherine can be such an embarrassing mom! The last things a guy wants to talk to his mom about our vaginas and orgasms.
Jackson: We made a rule.
Catherine: What rule?
Jackson: The rule that says you and I don't work together on genitalia because you have no filter.
Catherine, in all of her sexually liberated glory, speaks about genitalia so often that Jackson has a firm rule about it and usually refuses to work with his mother. She has no filter, we all know this, but she was unexpectedly tame. She was a bit too forceful with her idea though.
Jackson's initial proposal for spray-on skin sounds hella cool! For some reason, little kids coating their hands in glue and peeling it off is the first thing that came to mind. A spray-on skin would significantly impact the field of plastics.
Related: Grey's Anatomy Round Table: Finally, A Miranda-Centric Episode!
But the second trans character and doctor of the series (in less than three months) was introduced, and with her introduction, came an innovative vaginoplasty technique that could change not just the plastics field, but the women's health and sexual health field as well.
Using the perineum to create a better functioning vagina is ambitious and a total game-changer. Dr. Velez is a woman who knows what she wants, and I look forward to learning more about her character.
Poor Jax, he has two amazing ideas and can't decide which.Meredith
She let Catherine do most of the persuading, so we didn't get to see or learn much about her. All we know so far is that she wants to be the guinea pig. But neither woman proved to be as persuasive as Meredith.
A simple talk with Mer and Jackson viewed the study in a whole new light. Their friendship is one of the most underrated ones in the series and a personal fave.
Dahlia is also a personal fave. Finally, she's the intern that has been shown the least for some inexplicable reason, and given the fact that this is the first time a hijabi Muslim has played a recurring character on this show, it's unfortunate that she has the least amount of intern screentime.
Honestly, she's a hoot. The crush she has on Jackson is adorable, and hey, who wouldn't have a crush on Jackson? Have you seen him?
She's awkward, overcaffeinated, and I would love to see more of her. Hopefully, she'll be the intern that will work on this new study with the Averys and Velez. She was definitely interested in it.
This project could be exciting because it is something that specifically affects women and relates to women as sexual beings. That's something that the medical field tends to overlook while putting more energy into everything from penal implants to erectile dysfunction medication.

There is a disparity between the genders when it comes to sexual health or sex adjacent procedures.
It's odd that Carina had no part in this whatsoever since she burst onto the scene with her controversial orgasm study that has not been revisited since Amelia's tumor.
At least she'll have the opportunity to work with Arizona, though.
Arizona: Would you like to be my partner?
Carina: Your partner?
Arizona: Yeah. On the study.
Carina: Only the study?
Arizona's proposal is appealing because she was inspired by Karen. It will focus on a significant issue affecting pregnant women in America. Preeclampsia isn't discussed often, and the high death rate for mothers and newborns is appalling.
It's too bad that April can't participate in the contest because she would have worked well with Arizona. It could have helped her work through her depression. I don't like how April got to this place, but I am enjoying this dark turn she has taken.
Yes, it was funny when she woke up next to Roy again and shuffled into the hospital hungover with a messy bun and sunglasses.
Her "eff it all" attitude is so unlike her that it's intriguing. Sadly, she revealed to Arizona that she's not just engaging in casual sex with the intern, but she also has to drink a bottle of wine every night to sleep.
That's concerning. Arizona didn't comment much on that, but it's bound to come up again. When will Jackson, or Owen, or anyone else take notice?
Jo was dealing with the aftermath of her demons, too. She casually revealed that she has been sleepwalking and it still doesn't sink in that she's free of Paul. The bond that has formed between Jo and Mer is the most unexpectedly amazing development that has come out of this season.
It's cool that their patient's tiny spleens and Jo inspired Meredith's idea, but how will she pull it off without a patent?
Owen and Casey could potentially be a great duo. They have something in common with their military experience, but other than that, Owen needs something.

It was uncomfortable watching him attempt to flirt with a disinterested Carina, and finding out that he wasn't taking part in the contest was disappointing because he literally has nothing else to do.
Nothing is as disappointing as this Sam and Andrew thing, though. It's not interesting. DeLuca dancing was the only decent scene either of them had in the entire hour. I would have happily sacrificed their scenes for more Dahlia screentime.
So, Levi is the intern of many names. Glasses and Bloodbank are the ones they throw around the most, but I took to referring to him as Bespectacled George and George 2.0 during this installment because he became the Miranda Bailey version of the Chief's Intern.
Bailey may be on bed-rest, but she's not letting that stop her from entering in her rectal/colonoscopy tool. Miranda's idea was the least impressive of the bunch, but it was fun watching her piece together everything while an oblivious Levi helped her.
Richard's project was inspired by his friend, but in a way, because of Maggie's mother, too. There was a lot of talk about mothers, anniversaries, and loss. It was nice seeing the two of them bond as she tried not to think about the anniversary of her mother's death.
Anniversaries are hard. First anniversaries are worse.Richard
The salsa lessons were a bit odd for a father and daughter to do together, but it was for a good cause. Catherine was elated by the gesture.
Over to you guys, which project stood out or impressed you the most? Have you warmed up to any of the interns yet? Which development would you like scrapped? How do you feel about April's dark turn? Hit the comments below!
Grey's Anatomy will return March 1. Until then, you can watch Grey's Anatomy online right here via TV Fanatic!

During my slow transition to veganism over the past year and a half or so, I made one pledge to myself: find a way to approximate mac and cheese. If it can't be done, abandon the diet. I'm serious. Many vegetarians say things like "I could never give up cheese," which I sort of understand. But with me, it was more of a mac-n-cheese-specific issue. It's the ultimate comfort food, and I am firmly convinced that many people continue to eat dairy because they think a vegan mac and cheese can't be done without it tasting like feet.
Welll, it can. I have been experimenting in the kitchen with different ways to pull this off for over a year. Many, many of the results were inedible and in no way resembled what is known as mac and cheese. But once I got my vegan cheese base right, I finally was able to perfect this recipe. This is delicious (though please remember that–though it is lower in saturated fat, has no cholesterol at all, and is more animal friendly than the original–it is still made with white pasta and is fairly high calorie)!
*Oh, and–as a bonus–this does not contain any of that nasty, science-experiment-in-a-bag otherwise known as Daiya Cheese. That stuff is disgusting, and don't let any vegan ever try to tell you differently.
500 grams (about a pound) of your favorite pasta (I chose the large macaroni, though penne, rigatoni, shells, or bowties all work.)
3 Tbsp canola oil
3 Tbsp flour
500 mL (2 cups) vegetable broth (or 2 cups of water with 2 tsp vegetable bouillon)
500 mL (2 cups) vegan cheese base
1/2 cup breadcrumbs mixed with:
2 tbsp canola oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper.
*Preheat oven to 175C (350F).
*Start boiling water for pasta; cook just prior to al dente (about 10 minutes). It will finish cooking while baking in the oven; if you cook it all the way in the beginning, the final product will be mushy. You can throw in the pasta and then moniter it while working on the sauce.
*In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
*Add the flour, and mix into a paste. Cook until it darkens to a deeper yellow, about 5-7 minutes.
*Add the vegetable broth and whisk constantly. It should begin thickening fairly quickly. (Note: it will not be quite as thick as a gravy or the beschamel sauce you're used to, but it will thicken when the next ingredient is added. So don't lose your shit.)
*Once the sauce has thickened, add 500 mL (2 cups) of the vegan cheese base and stir well.
*Taste and add salt if necessary.
*Mix pasta and sauce and pour into a large baking dish.
*Top with the breadcrumb mixture, and bake for 25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
PS: I am still working on the vegan "meat" loaf I served this with. It tasted okay, but is not quite up to the standard that would allow me to actually share the recipe. So be patient.
I'm not telling you how to steam spinach. Look that shit up.

The Memorial Day weekend is playing out pretty much the way forecasters expected, with widespread showers and thunderstorms likely today, and then fast-improving conditions Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Today won't be a total washout, but it won't be pretty, either.
A weak cold front has stalled over the western Carolinas, and several weak areas of low pressure will ride along the front today. The first of those crossed the Charlotte area Friday morning with heavy showers. A few more of those systems are expected to follow today.
By this afternoon, there will be enough instability in the atmosphere for those weak low pressure areas to trigger a few thunderstorms, but the storms aren't expected to be severe.
Bottom line ... today will be wet at times, with periods of dry weather mixed in. Temperatures will be cooler than in recent days, with highs only near 80. Humidity levels will be very high, however.
If you're going to Speed Street today, or to the race track walk and cookout at Charlotte Motor Speedway, be ready for occasional rainy periods.
The weak front will dissipate late tonight. On Saturday, there will be a bit of moisture and instability left behind, and it could be enough to create a few showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. But don't fret ... most of the day will be partly sunny, and the precipitation will be widely scattered.
Temperatures will make a comeback Saturday, with highs in the middle 80s.
And by Sunday, it'll be back to the kind of weather we had earlier this week. Expect sunshine and hot temperatures, with highs near 90.
Beach weather will be outstanding, with no rain Saturday, Sunday or Monday -- and probably no rain today, either. The mountains will be rainy today, with scattered showers again Saturday. Conditions will be dry and very nice Sunday and Monday.
Friday, May 27, 2011
Wet start, then great weekend

Thanksgiving is a time when we reflect and count our blessings.
The first Thanksgiving was believed to have been celebrated by our Pilgrim forefathers in 1621, but it wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
Our family has many blessings to give thanks for including our thanks for your support and friendship. We pray that you will be surrounded by family and those whom you love.
Please remember our troops and those serving our country, who will not have the luxury of joining their families for the holidays. Their sacrifice makes our celebration possible.

Tim Hagans: The Moon Is Waiting
While the first three pieces were commissioned by the Michele Brangwen Dance Ensemble, they don't require accompanying visual stimuli to be stimulating from an artistic stand point. "Ornette's Waking Dream Of A Woman" is introduced with the sounds of suspicion, leading to an explosive second act, while the title track is underscored by constant cacophony. A mysterious ten-note motif makes its mark as the last of these three pieces, "Get Outside," sets sail, but the music takes a drastic turn when drummer Jukkis Uotila shifts to piano. He delivers curious yet stable chordal statements which serve as dividing markers between abstract musings from Hagans and guitarist Vic Juris. Eventually, the piece erupts into a Black Sabbath-worthy groove in seven, with Hagans running rampant atop the mix.
While Hagans has always been a visionary, capable of charting his own course without any outside help, influence or direction, his sidemen on this date help to determine how these pieces play out. Bassist Rufus Reid's tonal presence adds weight to every piece, and his ability to fatten up a unison riff or supply some saucy soloing ("Boo") make him a major asset. Guitarist Vic Juris' chameleon-like abilities help to broaden the sonic variety in the music and, while he's not as well-known as the other musicians, Jukkis Uotila proves to be a powder keg of percussive intensity. He swings in beyond-bop fashion, as Juris and a Freddie Hubbard-like Hagans show what they're made of ("First Jazz"), and he engages the rest of the musicians with perpetual drumming motion as he scampers across the rangy terrain of Hagans' compositions. His steady rhythmic barrage is actually one of the defining characteristics of this ensemble.
Hagans has proven to be a master compositional architect in more formal settings, but his ability to let loose with this small group is the key to its success. The Moon Is Waiting is a marvel of elastic expressions from one of the most shrewd and intelligent minds in jazz today.
Track Listing
Ornette's Waking Dream Of A Woman; The Moon Is Waiting; Get Outside; First Jazz; Boo; What I'll tell Her; Wailing Trees; Things Happen In A Convertible.
Tim Hagans: trumpet; Vic Juris: guitar; Rufus Reid: bass; Jukkis Uotila: drums, piano.

|Gate exam is Entrance test for admissions into ME/ M. Tech of IITs, Regional Engineering colleges and also for recruitment of candidates for jobs in PSUs.
|IES is Recruitment test for central government jobs in various Engineering Departments.
|Objective type & Fill in the blanks type questions are asked in gate exam. Conventional type problems are also given with multiple options / choices as answers and also numerical type questions. These questions require calculator to solve.
|Objective type as well as Conventional type questions are asked in IES exam. Calculator is allowed only for conventional paper but not for objective papers.
|Competition ratio, in terms of number of candidates qualified for gate versus the member of candidate appearing the gate examination is nearly 1:7.
|Competition ratio in terms of the number of vacancies for IES versus the number of candidates appearing the IES examination is about 1:300.
|A good number of candidates could get very good ranks in Gate, in their very first attempt. It clearly indicate that Gate exam is easy in comparison to IES.
|Only a few candidates could get good IES ranks in their very 1st attempt. Candidates could get good ranks in IES only in their 2nd or 3rd or higher attempts.
|Gate is Relatively, easy competition
|IES is Relatively, tough competition.
Preparation Strategy for Gate & IES
The GATE preparation will cover almost 70% of the total preparation required for IES. The GATE examination is conducted in February and the IES is held in two parts, IES preliminary in January and IES mains after wards in June. The best strategy now is to prepare initially for GATE & IES preliminary (It include GK & Aptitude paper also along with Technical) and then after Gate exam concentrate on the remaining portion of IES. If the candidate is successful in GATE with good rank, then the chances of getting success in IES examination will be very bright. If due to some unavoidable circumstances student don't get good rank in gate, they have a chance and time to finish their knowledge and they can appear for IES mains with full potential.
A good score in GATE will definitely boost the morale of the candidates and will provide a smooth path for taking IES with much more confidence and energy. Thus GATE is an acid test for the candidate before taking IES. In case, the candidate is unlucky in getting IES, the candidate will have an alternative in the form of GATE rank, with that he can join M. Tech without waste of time. And also, the candidate stands good chance to get selected for PSUs which offer jobs with attractive salary packages even better than the IES.
Moreover, the process of IES examination, interview, final selection and issue of posting orders take a long time. Meanwhile, without wasting time, the candidate is advised to join M. Tech. The Candidate will have an additional degree, M. Tech before joining IES and this will be an added feather in the cap of the candidate. Subject development and mental maturity will be additional advantages. The candidate will have multiple career opportunities. The suggested approach for a fresher is GATE first IES next. Thus GATE will be a launching pad for IES.

What Difference Does it Make!
I was preparing some new racquets for extension today which normally goes without an issue and today was no exception but one racquet had a "shot" of silicone and the others did not.
