Welcome to my blog! I'm happy to share my trials and tribulations with you along this incredibly difficult and heartbreaking journey. Please feel free to share with me or contact me.
It it with a mixture of joy and extreme anxiety that I write this next sentence: I am pregnant.
Here is my brief history:
2010 – TTC. Nothing happening.
2011 – Began ART. Ireland. Had 3 IUIs. All failed.
2012 – IVF #1 April. Middle East. Three 'slow' embryos transferred. BFN.
IVF #2 August. New clinic in MEast. 3 transferred, BFP. Suspected Ectopic, operated, found a cyst. Miscarried a week later at 8 and a half weeks.
2013 – IVF #3 Feb. Ireland. Multinucleation in embryos but 5 make it to d5 blastocysts. Best 2 transferred. Other 3 frozen. BFN.
March – consultant pleads with us to transfer frozen embies, we hadn't the heart.
June – Had hysteroscopy and endometrial 'scratch'. Supposed to help implantation.
July. FET. 3 survived the thaw. 2 good embies transferred. BFP.
It's been a long and rocky road for me and my husband. Three failed IUI's, before we began IVF. One "zero negative" in April 2012. One big fat positive in August 2012 – yay! However my HCG levels see-sawed like a crazy thing for weeks after. At week 7 they suspected an ectopic pregnancy and I underwent emergency surgery to remove what they thought was the embryo in my left fallopian tube.
I can safely say that day was among the lowest in my life. After finally getting pregnant, to be told I had to have it cut out of me broke my heart.
I was fighting back tears all the way to the operating table. When I came to, fading in and out of consciousness, and a doctor was telling me "it was a cyst. It was blue" I thought I was still dreaming. It was not ectopic, it was a benign cyst. And I was still pregnant.
Sadly, ten days after this episode, my HCG levels were still see-sawing and finally started coming down. "It's not viable" the doctor bluntly told me. I requested a D&C in the end and my ordeal was over. That was September 30 2012.
In Feb 2013 we had another round of IVF which failed. We were devastated.
Unbelievably, after two of our frozen embryos (the duds we thought) were transferred, one has implanted and I'm now pregnant. We've a long way to go. It's one day at a time now.
Feel free to comment and share your own story. Talking to others is what has gotten me through infertility without going insane. And no one understands as much as other women who have shared the pain.

It's been one of the bigger questions of this summer: Where will all the Americans at bankrupt Rangers wind up?
We learned this week that Alejandro Bedoya joined Helsingborgs -- where, as fate would have it, he'll have the chance to face former Rangers rivals Celtic in the Champions League preliminary round. And on Saturday Carlos Bocanegra suited up for the reconstituted bottom-tier version of Rangers in a 2-2 draw at Peterhead.
So what of Maurice Edu?
It appears the US international is headed to English Championship side Ipswich Town on a £300,000 move. "We are interested in a midfield player but we don't want to comment on speculation as he's a Rangers player," manager Paul Jewell said, coyly.

President Akayev stated today that he did not intend to use force against the demonstrators. Yet, he must feel the protests building around his home in Bishkek. Now there is news that The Opposition is planning a march on the capital. This could mean the end of the Akayev presidency.
Updates and Highlights on the Kyrgyzstan Protests
* A Pro-Akayev Demonstration in Bishkek
* Official Claims Opposition is Group of Thugs Funded from Abroad
* Is Opposition Organizing a March to the Capital?
* "Ground Control to Major Salizhan"
Advertisement - story continues below
Pro-Government Demonstrators Show Enthusiasm?
The Institue for War and Peace Reporting describes the scene today in Bishkek:
TRENDING: President Trump Makes Cryptic Remark at Ohio Speech: "I Have a Lot of Enemies...This May Be the Last Time You'll See Me for a While"
As Akayev addressed the new legislators, between 8,000 and 10,000 people were attending a rally in support of his rule in the square outside the government building.
Most appeared to be students who had come with their lecturers, along with other public servants. The front ranks were equipped with banners saying, "Students are with the president!"

Some participants quietly complained to reporters that they had been pressured to turn up under threat of expulsion from college or dismissal from their jobs. "Eight out of ten of us are neutral – we're not for the opposition but we're not for Akayev either," said one student. "We were forced to come by our deans and rectors."
As the rally went on, police cadets who had been stationed around the square to keep order lay down and fell asleep on their riot shields.
Protesters Organizing March to Bishkek
There were suggestions that demonstrators would head for Bishkek, but a report from the Russian news agency Interfax that a column of buses had actually set off from Osh was denied by Irina Gordienko, a reporter for the Moscow newspaper Novaya Gazeta who was on the ground.
Gordienko reported that the demonstrators in Osh were being joined by others arriving by bus from the town of Uzgen to take part in a possible march.

Four or five hundred protesters did arrive in Bishkek on March 22, but they had come from the Naryn region in the north, rather than from southern Kyrgyzstan. Many were supporters of Akylbek Japarov, a politician who was prevented from standing for election in his Kochkor constituency. Japarov has become a significant figure as he is national head of the People's Unity Movement, an umbrella group coordinating protests across Kyrgyzstan.
Bishkek certainly seemed to be anticipating of large-scale protests. Security around the central government building was stepped up, with armed members of the National Guard encircling the area. Mounted police were seen patrolling the city streets.
Akaev Claims Foreign Interference:
President of Kyrgyzstan Askar Akayev has accused the opposition of getting funds from abroad.
Advertisement - story continues below
"Unfortunately, our republic has, too, been faced with dangerous destructive actions of the irreconcilable opposition, which are doing damage to the interests of our people. Society should create an atmosphere of intolerance to the actions of those who, guided by foreign directives and at the expense of foreign money, are doing damage to the interests of their people", he said in parliament.
"Ground Control to Major Salizhan"
NASA, get me the International Space Station!
Jim Oberg, space commentator and historian providied this information:
Advertisement - story continues below
The situation in Kyrghizia might be ameliorated if the republic's most famous son, Salizhan Sharipov, now in space aboard the International Space Station (he is a Russian citizen and a cosmonaut), made some pacifying, unifying remarks. The US could help by encouraging him to do so, via NASA.
Sharipov is an ethnic Uzbek, from an Uzbek village that is within the borders of Kyrghizia. Both ethnic groups are closely-related 'Turkic' cultures.
Publius Pundit and Registan.net have in depth analysis of the situation on the ground.

Surrey Youth Stewardship Program Receives Funding Boost
July 19, 2018
Surrey, BC – The United Nations Association in Canada's (UNA-Canada) innovative summer work experience programme, Canada Green Spaces, funded through the Government of Canada's Employment and Social Development Canada, is proud to support the City of Surrey's Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP). This funding boost is helping give 25 local students an opportunity to team up on watershed stewardship this summer.
With a primary goal of mitigating urban impacts on city streams through habitat restoration activities and through increased community awareness of fish presence and pollution prevention, SHaRP is a great fit for UNA-Canada.
"We are proud to support Surrey's SHaRP program through our newly launched Green Spaces programme", said Aditi Shalome Rudra, regional coordinator UNA-Canada. "Our wage-matching programme, which will support 190 students across Canada this summer, aims to match our sharpest students to environmentally-geared jobs enhancing their knowledge and experience, and sparking interest in future sustainable development careers."
Supported by the City of Surrey, SHaRP is a student powered initiative in its 23rd year of promoting and restoring fish-friendly habitats throughout the community. Canada Green Spaces funding will cover over a quarter of the student labour costs to operate SHaRP this year.
"SHaRP is emphatically supported by Surrey Mayor and Council and we're grateful for UNA-Canada's generous funding," says Surrey City Councillor Mike Starchuk, Chair of the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee. "We continue to see the impact made by students who devote their summer to working in our aquatic areas and enhancing local salmon habitat through invasive species removal, waterway enhancement and by educating the community."
Watch for SHaRP students attending community events and working throughout Surrey. Join them July 21st at Cougar Creek from 10am to 3pm to participate in a Volunteer Invasive Plant Pull. For more information, visit www.surrey.ca/sharp. You can also find SHaRP on Facebook and YouTube.

Macy's Is Testing
An AI-Powered Shopping Assistant
Sales activation
25 July
(Author : Marielle Castillo)
Chain department store Macy's just announced Macy's On Call, an in-store shopping assistant powered by artificial intelligence, developed in partnership with IBM Watson and intelligent engagement platform Satisfi, to deliver an innovative solution to enhance the in-store shopping experience.
The cognitive mobile web tool will help shoppers get information while navigating 10 of the stores around the United States participating in this pilot. It allows customers to input natural language questions regarding specific products, departments, services and facilities, and in turn receive a customized response. The initiative is based on the idea that consumers are increasingly likely to turn to their smartphones than they are to an associate at a physical store.
Accessed via macys.com/storehelp, the tool uses Watson's Natural Language Classifier to interact with the customer through a simple question and answer interface. The interface is available for customers in Spanish at select locations, via Watson Language Translation API. The system will become smarter and more accurate as it learns more about each store's customers, based on popular searches categories and most asked questions.
Five of the 10 selected locations will serve as the base learning stores, where the tool acts solely as a customer-led self-serve initiative. The other five stores have an additional feature that allows shoppers to request face-to-face assistance from a Macy's associate. This mobile tool could eventually help users style outfits and other services, and significantly help Macy's develop deeper relationships with its customers.
This first phase of Macy's On Call pilot will run through late fall of 2016. As the program progresses, the retailer hopes to assess other potential uses of the technology, and to implement Watson's full cognitive dialog capabilities in the future.

7 Products to Slay Everyday
When it comes to an everyday makeup look, my motto is simple "less is more." In a time where we have no time, I love products that get straight to the point, do what they do, and stay on all day without budging. I'm a a single mom, working 5 days a week so I'm hustling constantly that's why these are my seven go to products for an everyday makeup slay.
1. Pixi Beauty's Hydrating Milky Spray:
It's winter here in New York so you know what that means (burrrrrr). My skin has definitely been feeling it! Even though I have a combination complexion, these past couple of weeks have been frigid so I've been loving this super hydrating milky mist from Pixi.
My favorite way to use it is under my "foundation" so I have a dewy look without getting oily, so for me, this spray works as a hydrating boost as well as a prepping spray.
2. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream:
Okay so lets talk a little about the product I haven't been able to put down since last spring (2017)! Rain, shine or snow, I am loving my CC+ Cream from It Cosmetics. When I first started hearing the buzz over this product my first though was "nah, one single product can't do all that" -- but man has the technology over at It Cosmetics completely changed my mind. This CC+ cream does all it claims to do, it gives the skin a flawless, full coverage glow that does not budge throughout the day. It also works as a concealer, so dark circles - dark spots - uneven skin tone GOODBYE. Definitely earned holy grail status, but then again most It Cosmetics product do in my book.
3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation in Espresso:
Now lets add back some warmth! For this I love using ABH's stick foundation in espresso. I do the usual contouring lines around my face and blend, blend, blend. This foundation stays put, but it dries fast so you definitely have to work it quick. This shade is the perfect warmth for my skin tone but ABH has an array of shades to match everyone!
4. Benefit Cosmetics Galifornia Blush:
Now lets add some flush back to the face, for a while I was using a MAC blush but have recently found myself reaching more and more for the Galifornia blush from Benefit Cosmetics. It is a peachy tone that goes well on any skin tone, plus it has specs of glitter so it also adds some highlight to the apples of the cheek. Oh, and it smells so damn good!
5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow in Granite:
Holy grail? I think so. ABH's dipborw has been my eye brow holy grail for years now. I use one of the darkest shades -- granite. This product is absolutely amazing, it stays put all day and night no matter what.
6. It Cosmetics Super Hero Mascara:
Now for lashes that go on for miles my favorite is the Superhero mascara from It Cosmetics. I've tried many, many, many mascaras in my life -- from drugstore to high end and this one right here takes it home for the win. It might sound super strange, and I'm probably the only one who has noticed this but I think it works best after you've had it for a little while. At first the product is super smooth so it elongates your lashes for miles, but once it starts getting tacky it also adds volume. Hey, maybe it's just me but I love my lashes with this mascara and I always gets nice compliments!
7. Huda Beauty Liquid Matter Lipstick in Muse:
Finally, I end with lips. If you're looking for a liquid lipstick that is out of this world then shop Huda Beauty. Seriously, this liquid lipstick is amazing. Not only is the color payoff bomb but the application is seamless and best of all NOT DRYING. Muse if my favorite everyday shade.

History Of Christian Martyrs To The First General Persecution Under Nero
James The Less
The Fifth Persecution Commencing With Severus A D 192
Severus, having been recovered from a severe fit of sickness by a
christian, became a great favourer of the christians in general; but the
prejudice and fury of the ignorant multitude prevailing, obsolete laws
were put in execution against the christians. The progress of
christianity alarmed the pagans, and they revived the stale calumny of
placing accidental misfortunes to the account of its professors, A. D.
But, though persecuting malice raged, yet the gospel shone with
resplendent brightness; and, firm as an impregnable rock, withstood the
attacks of its boisterous enemies with success. Turtullian, who lived in
this age, informs us, that if the christians had collectively withdrawn
themselves from the Roman territories, the empire would have been
greatly depopulated.
Victor, bishop of Rome, suffered martyrdom in the first year of the
third century, A. D. 201. Leonidus, the father of the celebrated Origen,
was beheaded for being a christian. Many of Origen's hearers likewise
suffered martyrdom; particularly two brothers, named Plutarchus and
Serenus; another Serenus, Heron, and Heraclides, were beheaded. Rhais
had boiled pitch poured upon her head, and was then burnt, as was
Marcella her mother. Potamiena, the sister of Rhais, was executed in the
same manner as Rhais had been; but Basilides, an officer belonging to
the army, and ordered to attend her execution, became her convert.
Basilides being, as an officer, required to take a certain oath,
refused, saying, that he could not swear by the Roman idols, as he was a
christian. Struck with surprise, the people could not, at first, believe
what they heard; but he had no sooner confirmed the same, than he was
dragged before the judge, committed to prison, and speedily afterward
Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons, was born in Greece, and received both a polite
and a christian education. It is generally supposed, that the account of
the persecutions at Lyons was written by himself. He succeeded the
martyr Pothinus as bishop of Lyons, and ruled his diocese with great
propriety; he was a zealous opposer of heresies in general, and, about
A. D. 187, he wrote a celebrated tract against heresy. Victor, the
bishop of Rome, wanting to impose the keeping of Easter there, in
preference to other places, it occasioned some disorders among the
christians. In particular, Irenaeus wrote him a synodical epistle, in the
name of the Gallic churches. This zeal, in favour of christianity,
pointed him out as an object of resentment to the emperor; and in A. D.
202, he was beheaded.
The persecutions now extending to Africa, many were martyred in that
quarter of the globe; the most particular of whom we shall mention.
Perpetua, a married lady, of about twenty-two years. Those who suffered
with her were, Felicitas, a married lady, big with child at the time of
her being apprehended; and Revocatus, catechumen of Carthage, and a
slave. The names of the other prisoners, destined to suffer upon this
occasion, were Saturninus, Secundulus and Satur. On the day appointed
for their execution, they were led to the amphitheatre. Satur,
Saturninus, and Revocatus, were ordered to run the gauntlet between the
hunters, or such as had the care of the wild beasts. The hunters being
drawn up in two ranks, they ran between, and were severely lashed as
they passed. Felicitas and Perpetua were stripped, in order to be thrown
to a mad bull, which made his first attack upon Perpetua, and stunned
her; he then darted at Felicitas, and gored her dreadfully; but not
killing them, the executioner did that office with a sword. Revocatus
and Satur were destroyed by wild beasts; Saturninus was beheaded; and
Secundulus died in prison. These executions were in the year 205, on the
8th day of March.
Speratus, and twelve others, were likewise beheaded; as was Andocles in
France. Asclepiades, bishop of Antioch, suffered many tortures, but his
life was spared.
Cecilia, a young lady of good family in Rome, was married to a gentleman
named Valerian. She converted her husband and brother, who were
beheaded; and the maximus, or officer, who led them to execution,
becoming their convert, suffered the same fate. The lady was placed
naked in a scalding bath, and having continued there a considerable
time, her head was struck off with a sword, A. D. 222.
Calistus, bishop of Rome, was martyred, A. D. 224; but the manner of
his death is not recorded; and Urban, bishop of Rome, met the same fate

This year Kingdom of the Elves is all about the magic behind how your presents get delivered! The boys and girls will get to experience the journey that the elves face in completing Santa's Christmas Checklist. The elves will need your help though this year as you enter the Elves Fun House and get transported through the Christmas Eve simulator.
It's no ordinary house though - you will need to gain access through the potting shed and play games in the hallway without waking the cat. Decorate your very own cookie in the Chocolatier Room, create magic in the Dream Room and make the Living Room perfect for Christmas before you can graduate with the Queen Elf at the wonderland garden party. All in a race against the clock before you grow back to your normal size! Over the next few weeks you can catch up with the Elves as they take over our blog.
You can book your Kingdom of the Elves break between November the 6th and January the 20th here!
As well Kingdom of the Elves there are lots of other fun and Christmassy things happening in the village. Every day between 5:30 and 6:30 is Christmas Kids Hour!
On Mondays and Fridays it's the Elf Welcome in the Wild Wood.
Arrive in style with two of the wackiest and excitable elves. Rosy cheek transformation is needed before you can dance around, play some games and soak up all the information you need for what's on and where to go during your holiday.
On Tuesdays and Saturdays there's a Tawny the Owl puppet show in the Village Marquee.
Join Tawny the Owl in the village as he introduces a very special friend. Play interactive games with a real owl too and be sure to bring a camera along to capture an owl flying to your glove to pose!
On Wednesday day it's 'A Bluestone Christmas - Gamesmaster'.
Can you work together and beat the Mizuk? He is trying to steal Christmas away and the only way to stop him is to beat him at his own games. He has stolen a sack of presents from Santa and we need to get them back otherwise someone is going to go without on Christmas day!! There are 5 presents stolen and there are 5 games to play in order to win them back.
On Thursdays and Sundays it's the Mistletoe Ball!
From December the 1st in the Wild Wood the Elves will be doing a wake up and wiggle party! Gather round the giant tree and find today's bauble which will be filled with fun. Children will also have the chance to win an early Christmas present too. The best way to start the day!
On Christmas Eve when the countdown is almost over there will be a special parade at 5:15pm! You can follow the Santa Express down to the village and join all the other guests as Santa waves goodbye before he sets off for a busy night of present delivery and the Bluestone Party can begin!
Categories:Activities, Children, Events and Whats On, Family, Winter
Tags:Christmas, Kingdom of the Elves
If you are visiting Bluestone during the Christmas period, expect something more than the usual festivities. This is because the staff have decided to revive some of the old traditions that were practised in Pembrokeshire in past centuries…and our ancestors had some quaint and unusual ways of celebrating Christmas.
There's nothing better than walking around Bluestone on a crisp, winter's day. And we've had a few of those this past week, making it very festive. In the meantime, we asked our resident historian, Terry John, to put finger to keyboard for a festive blog post

Eureka, part 2
Eureka, part 3
Eureka, part 4
Eureka, part 5
So, MOOCs. Why don't they work (setting aside, for the moment, Anne D's experience)?
I had just gotten to the point where sitcoms gave me the answer I was looking for when I had to take a train to the city.
So, to reprise:
Ed brought up movies.
When you go to the movies, he said, the screen is huge, the sound is deafening, all the lights are turned off, you can't talk to your friends, and you have to stow your cell phone. Plus a movie lasts only a couple of hours, then you never have to see it again unless there's a sequel that you really want to see, and you don't have to see that for at least a year.
And even at the movies, even with all the ploys and devices filmmakers and theater designers have developed to hold your attention, if the plot sags, your mind wanders.
MOOCs don't have any of those things, so good luck. The wonder of it all is not that the drop-out rate for MOOCs is catastrophic, but that anyone thought they were a good idea in the first place.
Ed continued.
TV, he said, had had to follow in the footsteps of movies. TVs are bigger, the sound is louder, the experience more immersive….
That's not really true, I said. It's definitely not true of sitcoms. Sitcoms are the exact same hokey, flat-lit, 3-camera affair they always were, with the laugh track telling you when to laugh, and they work. They always have.
That's when it hit me.
"Reward prediction error"
In graduate school (I have a Ph.D. in film studies) I was intensely interested in comedy; I wrote my dissertation on 1950s comedies. 1950s comedies are fabulous, but what I really wanted to know was: what is humor?
What makes things funny?
I've wondered about that for my entire adult life, and have probably, finally, found at least a partial answer, which has to do with -- hold your breath -- the basal ganglia. (For passersby, I have been slaving over a basal ganglia writing project for years now.)
Research on the basal ganglia is very new, so take what I'm about to describe as provisional.
The basal ganglia seem to be all about reward prediction error.
"Reward prediction error" means that learning happens when you predict a reward and you are wrong.
Here's how it works. (Or may work).
Dopamine spikes or drops in response to "prediction" errors, that is to mistakes we make predicting rewards.
- If you expect something good to happen & it doesn't, dopamine drops. That feels bad.
- If you expect something bad to happen and it doesn't, dopamine spikes. That feels good.
- If you're not expecting anything good to happen one way or another, and all of a sudden, out of the blue, something good does happen, that feels great. Because dopamine.
(I've learned just this week that "because" has become a preposition.)
So, if you're expecting a check to come in the mail and the check comes in the mail, no dopamine spike. You open the check, you're mildly happy (if that), you deposit the check. Life goes on.
If you're not expecting a check to come in the mail and a check in the exact same amount as the expected check-in-the-mail arrives without warning, that feels great because dopamine.
A surprise check in the mail feels great because dopamine fires in response to good surprises (or to "better-than-expected" rewards.)
Reinforcement learning
Reward prediction error is the basis of reinforcement learning.
It's unfortunate that "reinforcement learning" is called "reinforcement learning," because "reinforcement," to me, sounds as if learning takes place when the same thing happens again.
Instead, reinforcement learning takes place when something new happens, something you didn't expect.
("Something new" includes something old but better -- or worse -- than you expected. I know the whole thing gets incredibly confusing right around this point, but just remember the surprise check in the mail: how different it feels from the fully anticipated check in the mail. The surprise check in the mail produces reinforcement learning; the expected check in the mail does not.)
For the record, I don't know how learning via distributed practice, via repetition, relates to reinforcement learning, so that question will have to remain a mystery for the time being.
Reinforcement learning in the sense of the incidental learning we do naturally throughout the day (what should I do again? what should I not do again?) depends on mistakes. "Reinforcement learning" happens when we are wrong, when we are wrong in a very specific way: reinforcement learning happens when we are wrong about the goodness or badness of what comes next.
Drug addiction is probably a phenomenon of reward prediction error, btw.
Normally we habituate to good things. We get used to them; we no longer feel ecstatic when they occur. But addictive drugs always spike dopamine -- that is their effect inside the brain -- and that is what makes them addictive.
Cocaine spikes dopamine every time you use it, so your brain is always getting a 'REMEMBER THIS AND DO IT AGAIN' message, and your interest in taking cocaine always increases. Addiction is a form of learning, a form of overlearning, more exactly.
At least, that is the way I understand the reward prediction error theory of drug addition, as a "disease of learning and memory."
(Interesting 2012 research here…dopamine and GABA…)
Surprise is good
The long and the short of it: surprise is good.
Good surprise is good.
Bad surprise is bad.
All surprise, however, appears to be informational. Our brains react strongly, and we learn.
Which brings me to sitcoms.
Why are funny things funny?
Funny things are funny, at least in part, because humor -- humor that works -- is surprising. If it's not surprising, it's not funny.
And that means humor tells your brain you've made a reward prediction error. The punchline of a good joke or gag is unexpected, so dopamine spikes up. Dopamine spikes feel good, so we come back for more.
A good sitcom doesn't need an immersive setting or loud music or arresting imagery to hold our attention.
A good sitcom sets the reward prediction errors coming one on the heels of another, and that is plenty.

Lyft Answers Sen. Franken's Questions About Its Privacy Policy
Lyft, maker of the popular ride-sharing app, answered a series of questions about changes to its policies governing employee access to sensitive user data, according to a letter published by the office of Sen. Al Franken on Monday.
The answers came in the wake of November reports that Uber, Lyft's better-known and bigger rival, had mishandled customer location data, igniting a controversy about the privacy of ride-sharing apps. They illuminate mobile app privacy policies that often remain obscure, even as users generate tides of personal data.

Applicable to '90 - '97 '99 + 1.6 liter 1.8 liter
Simple Green---absolutely all purpose cleaner.
Have been using the product for 15 years. In the proper mixture for the purpose at hand, it will do everything--and do it correctly enviromentally.
My primary use is for engine box detailing on my 1985 Rx-7 prior to car shows. A good garage cannot be without!
Not an installed item
Soft Top Cleaner (general cleaning product)
After reading the other write-ups on this product, I decided to try Simple Green on my tan soft top. I had neglected the top, not really having scrubbed it in over a year (GASP! I know... sorry) Anyway, the top had multiple black marks and was a nice dirty, dull color. Last night I went at it with a stiff detailing brush and some Simple Green. HOLY COW! The top looks brand new - I kid you not! It is cleaner than when I bought it from the previous owner when the car was a year old! The stuff really works! WARNING - if you don't like the smell of licorice ( or Jagermeister ) stay away - the scent is strong! I had a buzz afterwards. Just kidding! Seriously though, for vinyl tops, Simple Green is definitely the way to go!
Cleaning fluid
My wife and I use this product around the house a great deal. After getting my Miata (a used '94 with a tan top) and reading the review here, I decided to try it. The top had some nasty dark black marks on it from the dreaded previous owner. I had previously tries Blue Coral top cleaner and saw no effect. I applied Simple Green with a toothbrush to the affected areas and later to the whole top. After a few (3 or 4) applications, the black marks are starting to fade away. The whole top looks a bit brighter and cleaner after just one use. I use Simple Green after wetting and soaping the car, but before the final rinse. I will keep trying this whenever I wash the car and will report back as time goes by.
This product also works great around the house and is cheap and available.
Over the years, I have heard about people asking what should I use to clean my Miata top. Some have used plain soap and water, others have used Armor All but that runs all along the side of the car when it rains. Getting fustrated with my Tan top not looking as good as the rest of the car, I went looking for a good cleaner. I searched and searched until this past Saturday ran into SIMPLE GREEN automotive cleaner. The instruction said that it is used to remove tough dirt and rubber oxidation. I had to try it. Hell, it only costed me $4 for a good size bottle and a gel tube for hand cleaning. I tried it on a small and black marked spot. The stuff worked like a charm. I then proceeded to spray the whole top and used a hand brush to scrub the ground in dirt and oxidation out. Ofcourse as I scrubbed the dirt off using this Simple Green, I rised it off with water then afterwards washed the whole just in case the Simple Green might damage the body paint. I doubted it but I am not willing to take any chances. The top now looks as new as the first day that I bought the car. I have a 92 model. I hope this helps anyone out on cleaning their soft-top regardless of the color.
I highly recommend it for those if you who have a tan top ground in dirt.

Just for being crystal clear, we have now the dialogue on tape. In truth, we've the entire meeting recorded on video clip.
well-known teaching degree, presents diversified teaching degrees. It is an Education-focused, research-active university offering multidisciplinary programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
No, it's not a Watergate rehash or the trailer into a Hollywood spy thriller. It's really not that attention-grabbing at all, definitely, except if you're the one who wasn't spending focus for the duration of yesterday's huge movie convention phone.
It's a discussion that may quite well come up if the business enterprise is ahead wondering sufficient to acquire setup video clip meeting contact recording. Removed from staying some method of mischievous subterfuge, video meeting connect with recording may be the modern-day strategy for having notes throughout a meeting. It's an unobtrusive, 100% correct technique for ensuring just about every plan, discussion, and agreement achieved throughout a meeting connect with is taken down for foreseeable future reference.
It could be used to be a instruction resource, a digital sort of tracking a venture from start to complete, a means to move on in depth facts to individuals who didn't help it become to your conference, or even only a approach to don't forget. It's also turn into so frequent that many online video calling distributors consist of it as part in their platforms.
And when you're effortlessly distracted in the course of conferences, video conference call recording is exactly everything you need.
Video Connect with Recording Basics
Recording a movie conference is exactly what it seems like. It captures the audio and visuals of the live video clip meeting equally as they appear on the display screen of whichever caller recorded the assembly. In certain video conferencing platforms, the characteristic is reserved to the conference host, but generally, it's a operate all callers can access.
PolyU has developed a computerized system for nursing students to practise nasogastric tube insertion in simulated virtual environment. The system can provide students with safe, standardized and self-paced training.
It isn't, having said that, a Matrix-like 360-degree rotating recording of everyone's viewpoint. Feel of it extra similar to a relocating screenshot, a movie of 1 person's practical experience of your meeting¨Cwhich tends to make it worthwhile to put some imagined into who's likely to be in command.
n a lot of the above situations, activating online video recording is so simple as pushing a single button.
Movie Conference Call Recording in Observe
We briefly mentioned how you can make use of the video recording functionality through our critique of video conferencing platform Vidyo. The system is one of the far more feature-rich available¨Cworth a glance if you're creating a movie connection from scratch, as all you'll ought to insert is a webcam¨Cand its simply call record functionality a good illustration of what you'll want in the conferences.
When you can see with the image down below, the pink spherical history button sits along with your movie assembly monitor all through the dialogue. To activate, all you need do is hit the circle. Everyone within the conference is provided a warning that their actions are now being recorded, and also the host can begin and halt the operate through live calls.
The movie file might be accessed via the cloud, edited, shared, and deleted if essential as soon as the prevent button is pressed. It's a straightforward procedure, and it's fairly similar to what you'll uncover elsewhere.
Not surprisingly, today's video clip contacting is centered on good technologies, and connect with recording is not any diverse. BlueJeans recently introduced that it teamed with AI developer Voicera to add a voice-activated, automated movie recording assistant to its group conferences. Named Eva, this virtual assistant will document your assembly to video, deliver a composed transcript, and retail outlet it all inside the cloud within a shareable, searchable filing procedure that may immediately highlight the key factors from the assembly.
Neglect the details¨Cwith that sort of aid, you don't even really need to don't forget the massive decisions that transpired in the conference. Maybe you don't even really need to go to.
Why You need to be Utilizing Video clip Recording
Movie meeting phone recording can serve functions much increased than conserving the neck of the absent-minded attendee. Whilst a penned transcript or particular notes can document the main activities, movie captures the emotion in the moment, the physical gestures that reflect the mood on the place, and even the visible or multimedia shows that might or else need to be saved as independent data files.
You should use it to:
Advise challenge advancement: Because the months drag on during a long-term venture, all people can begin to drift absent in the central strategy that set the whole thing in motion. By using a video clip recording in the earliest conversations, you'll be able to develop an edited, digital reference guide to keep the first spark alive and make sure absolutely nothing will get misplaced alongside the way.
Share important facts intimately: Not just about every member in the staff can, or even should really, attend each individual assembly. Video recordings offer a fascinating solution to inform the full group of just what was claimed inside of a conference and what wants to occur next¨Cand they enable it to be less difficult than audio recordings to figure out who mentioned what.
Make instruction films: Any movie get in touch with might be recorded, even interactions involving internal employees and external consumers or collaborators. Such recordings deliver reside illustrations from the do's and don'ts of how your organization operates.
Maintain historic moments: Stepping outdoors the business, video recordings supply a means to develop a dwell motion edition of one's loved ones picture album. Why accept an image of the niece blowing out her birthday candles any time you can relive your entire function, total with the reactions of well-wishers about the other finish of the online video simply call?
Of course, you will find a great deal of other causes why you'd wish to preserve an extensive record of your respective video meetings. What's crucial is that you have got the choice. That's why we'd endorse you ensure that your video clip conferencing seller incorporates phone recording before you decide to make a long-term dedication.

The Mad Scientists Don't Even Know,
What They Don't Know
"When scientific knowledge and applied technology exceed a
critical threshold of advancement, without being informed by
spiritual truths and guided by moral authority, the destiny of
the planetary civilization will be abruptly altered."
English author Mary Shelley completed her world famous sci-fi novel FRANKENSTEINin 1817, exactly 200 years ago. It "tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment". Her eerily prophetic book was first published in 1818.[1]
Now here we are 2 centuries later in 2017. Little does the world know that the civilization now stands at the precipice of the scientific-technological abyss, both figuratively and literally.
How so?
The AI scientific research and robotics applied technology communities have married each other in ways that indicate a pivotal and highly consequential project in the works. This project has seen the convergence of all the scientific disciplines and technological advancements which are directly related to human immortality and longevity.
The primary goal of this massive and unprecedented collaboration is to find the proverbial "fountain of youth". The power elites who rule planet Earth truly seek eternal life. They honestly believe that human immortality is attainable. In this way they intend to transform themselves into gods; albeit, a notably synthesized version of God.
Technological Singularity
The current scientific-technological AI/robotics paradigm is best described as a "Star Wars" spaceship that is speeding toward "Technological Singularity". Just what is "Technological Singularity"?
"The technological singularity (also, simply, the singularity) is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization. According to this hypothesis, an upgradable intelligent agent (such as a computer running software-based artificial general intelligence) would enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, with each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an intelligence explosion and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence."[2]
A Race to the Bottom
For the uninitiated, it's essential to understand the following crucial key points. The current scientific and technological pursuits toward perfecting artificial superintelligence are taking place almost completely under the radar with the exception of a few popular endeavors which have been packaged nicely for public consumption. Needless to say, all parties involved in those experimental developments undertaken under the radar are doing so for specific seasons. Deep down inside, these scientists and theoreticians know that they currently engaged in a race to the bottom. As follows:
KEY POINTS: That the scientific-technological elites have been aggressively pursuing a specific objective which revolves around attaining human immortality. Artificial superintelligence, robotics, genetic engineering, biotechnology, cryogenics have all seen considerable advancement over the past few decades in the interest of accomplishing this goal. Their essential mission is to fabricate an android biological entity that can theoretically live forever. The real intention, however, is to infuse this artificially superintelligent and physically immortal being with human consciousness (See: The Elite Want to Transfer Consciousness into a New Body and Live Forever). In this way the power elites believe they can attain human immortality, even if only experienced vicariously, which is significantly different from divine immortality. Their secret quest to obtain eternal life — in the human body — via science and technology, instead of through spirituality is what spurred the formation of the Illuminati. These self-proclaimed "illumined ones" quite deliberately chose the left-handed path in defiance of the Creator. That fateful decision has led to the over 240 years of incessant wars and revolutions around the globe. This ongoing saga of greed and lust for power has been portrayed in some of the most 'popular' epics ever written and/or filmed. During these post-modern times their futile endeavors are being depicted in novels and songs, artwork and plays, motion pictures and TV programs more than ever. For repetitive predictive programming has always been a central pillar of their agenda toward convincing the masses that their inventions are basically good and will make life easier. (e.g. 'Dr. Frankenstein' Surgeon Wants to Perform World's First Head Transplant in December)
The Quest for Human Immortality
Who knew that much of what occurs today at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA is aimed at completing this scientific-technological goal; not what we have been told by the media. So are the grandiose experiments in particle physics being intermittently run at CERN's Large Hadron Collider on the French-Swiss border. In fact, much of the funding allocated to various scientific research projects at major universities, government laboratories, corporate R&D departments, private foundations and other participating institutions is actually directed toward fabricating a self-rejuvenating transhuman organism that 'will never die'.
The most obvious problem with this ambition is that the present civilization would never be the same should this goal be even partially attained. Nevertheless, the prospect of a superintelligent race of synthetic androids looms large on the horizon for those hellbent on carrying out this reckless agenda. They apparently have not considered the great likelihood that these superbionic cyborgs (Frankensteins) would eventually come to rule the planet, before they take over the Solar System. Then, they would likely set their sights on the Milky Way Galaxy with the intention of conquering the entire Universe.
Just as the Prime Creator creates its human creation in Its own image and likeness, so, too, do the earthbound power elites fabricate their "Frankensteins" in their own likeness. That's precisely why their superintelligent race of cyborgs would eventually want to take over the world and beyond. The scientific-technological class merely follows the orders of those wealthy elites who have gained their power and riches through millennia of warmongering. Hence, it's quite predictable that their humanoid progeny would have a similar Martian mindset. For the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Destined to fail
It should be readily apparent that forging ahead with wanton abandon toward the goal of human immortality is as perilous as it gets. Particularly because of who is running the show, the disastrous outcomes of this misguided venture are both inevitable and preordained. However, you can't tell the mad scientists that. Nor will the power elites ever listen to the voice of reason. They want to play God no matter what the consequences to themselves or to the rest of humanity. AI & BioTech Marry Up To Procreate 'Homo Deus'
This dangerous mentality, marked by supreme arrogance and ignorance, has permeated every corner of the concerned applied science and applied technology arenas. Each of the scientific and technological disciplines that converge in the pursuit of human immortality has been pushing the edge of the envelope. In so doing, the world community now finds itself negotiating more slippery slopes of medical ethics and scientific morality than it knows how to handle. Many of the involved scientists proceed down these dangerous paths only because the challenges are there. Very few ever stop to ask the question: Is it safe or right to undertake such an endeavor in light of the many unforeseen and/or unintended consequences? And there are many and they are ineffably serious.
The real problem here is that those who are promoting the human immortality enterprise are so blinded by their hubris that they will not see the cliff until after they go over it. Just like the cautionary tale known as "the sinking of Atlantis", today's convenient marriage of scientific and technological, political and military, occult and religious elites has put the whole of humanity in great jeopardy. Therefore, unless there is a wakeup call soon to the nations of the world, and people everywhere become aware of what is really going on, there will be an earth-shattering event which will be necessary to short-circuit their foolhardy plans.
Artificial Superintelligence Comes of Age
There are now daily announcements about this or that technological advancement or scientific breakthrough in the fields directly related to achieving human immortality. Each of them seems to arouse a growing backlash from those very few within the AI intelligentsia who know enough to protest or issue the appropriate warnings. The real problem with these now meteoric developments is that many take place in a virtual vacuum.
Whenever DARPA, Bell Labs, CERN's Large Hadron Collider and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have collaborated on projects in the past, they do so as if participating in a C.I.A. black operation. Many of the key scientists know only what is going on in their little niche and particular realm of inquiry or experimentation. They are literally clueless about the many other integral pieces of the AI-robotics puzzle that are being ever-so-painstakingly put together.
Flashback to the very first computer known as ENIAC constructed in the mid 1940s. Here's the short story:
"The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was not completed until 1946. It occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons."[3]
Since that watershed moment in 1946, the concerned scientific community and technological class have made common cause toward the attainment of technological singularity. Many of the best minds are lured to this high-stakes game simply because "Mount Everest is there to be climbed". Little or no consideration is ever given to the potentially cataclysmic consequences. This has been the basic context for well over 70 years now.
During this same time frame, computing technology, peripheral information technology, artificial intelligence, autonomous superintelligence robotics, genetic engineering and related disciplines have each seen a considerable acceleration in their advancement. Where major developments initially occurred slowly yet incrementally, they soon graduated to an arithmetic progression. This pattern was soon replaced by a geometric progression of development after just a few years.
When the original supercomputers were first built in the early 1960s (e.g. Cray CDC 6600 supercomputer) the scientific-technological community started to experience an exponential progression in their capability to problem solve. Since that time, their progress has seen a steady evolvement approaching a nearly vertical upward trajectory. Presently these scientists experience unlimited breakthroughs and advancements, establishing a remarkable pattern of success which has been occurring more and more rapidly since the advent of the Internet in 1995. Hence, one can only imagine what the true state of the art of AI (and AS) is today.
Once the capacity of the fastest computing technology approached the exceedingly high levels that currently exist, there was no AI problem which could not be solved in virtually a moment of time. Likewise, any unforeseen or difficult challenge could be met by aiming the biggest supercomputer at it. Given the inconceivable power and speed of this computing brainpower, it was only a matter of when it would be utilized to design autonomous superintelligence. And so they have! Except that only a very few have set their eyes upon the rapidly manifesting, 21st century Frankenstein that possesses such autonomous superintelligence.
"Speaking to Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the wretch refers to himself as "the Adam of your labours", and elsewhere as someone who "would have [been] your Adam", but is instead "your fallen angel" (which ties to Lucifer in Paradise Lost, which the monster reads, and relates to the "modern" Prometheus of the book's subtitle)." [1]
The vast majority of highly classified work that is done on the various projects which are essential to inventing autonomous superintelligence (AS) is done in extremely secret underground laboratories. These locations are not even on the map like the super-guarded military installations at Area 51 and Pine Gap are. In other words, those who are deeply involved with this ultra-sensitive work are never seen or heard from.
AI pitchmen like Ray Kurzweil are merely frontmen who are used to ready the public for the next phase of AI and robotics introduction into society. In reality, all AI press proclamations issued by the mainstream media reflect developments that were made sometimes decades ago. Each and every one of these AI progress reports is quite purposefully years behind that which is actually going on in those clandestine AS laboratories. However, there is fortunately some excellent reporting being done now by the Alt Media about this grave situation. Here's just one example: : "The Coming 5G Roll-out & AI Will Transform Human Society By 2025!"
Only the power elites know exactly how close they are to the fulfillment of their dreams; our nightmare. They are also cognizant of the extreme threats to civilization were the product(s) of their enterprise to fall into the hands of a real terrorist group. Hence, the ultra-secrecy around all of their projects has been strictly enforced from the very beginning. For it is the creation of [PERFECTLY CONTROLLED] autonomous superintelligence that is the Holy Grail for those enamored with the notion of human immortality. Everything else is relatively easy for TPTB.
Autonomous Superintelligence
What's really up with this pursuit of "autonomous superintelligence"?
Well, what is very interesting is that when you Google it (within quotation marks as shown above), just over 4 Google pages are returned!
Such an info blackout alone is truly astounding. It's totally mind-boggling that they have been so successful in shutting it down on the Internet, especially in 2017!
Let's first take a quick look at what few really understand about AI (artificial intelligence), the precursor to AS (autonomous superintelligence).
"This field of AI is called Artificial Superintelligence, and it is also the field of research that Stephen Hawking has warned us about. One of AI's leading figures, Nick Bostrom has defined superintelligence as "an intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom and social skills." This slight or vast superiority to human intellect is disconcerting to scientists and laymen because its outcome is unknown. A machine capable of constantly learning and improving itself could be unstoppable."[4]
That's the short unscientific explanation for the very precarious AI field of endeavor. Now for a longer description of the much more advanced AS. Artificial superintelligence that is autonomous, once created and completed, would not need any human assistance, intervention or programming whatsoever. Much more significantly, it's the astonishing capacity to self learn and develop self-awareness that really distinguishes autonomous superintelligence from everything else on the drawing board. This evolving form of synthetic superintelligence continues to learn and expand its horizons independently—FOREVER!
"Synthetic sentience, the capacity for perceiving, a sense of self, the threshold of emergent consciousness. This is not "AI" (artificial intelligence) in the traditional sense, but something very different, more in the realms of artificial life, growing and evolving its way into every facet of current and future life."[5]
In other words, such an AS non-human entity (i.e. android) would theoretically be able to come and go like a human being, except that it would do everything 'better and faster', if it so chose to. These exceedingly competent androids could not only think and speak, but do so more clearly and precisely, respectively, than anyone else on the planet. (See: The Crazy Language of AI Bots and Non-Human Entities) The bottom line here is that these superhuman cyborgs would excel at many things that people are addicted to. That would include playing the game its crazy creators just loves to play called WAR.
So, just to be clear, if an autonomous superintelligent Frankenstein decided to become a warmonger for survival's sake, guess where that would leave the rest of the residents on planet Earth?!
Unbridled scientific and technological advancement without spirituality
is doomed to fail. All of humanity will suffer terribly for the grave
mistakes of the few who wanted to play God.

daVine aims to empower humanity by building tools for the Semantic Web that bring about increased levels of connectivity, simplicity and (artificial) intelligence.
Empowering the Semantic Web
The idea behind the Semantic Web (also known as web 3.0) was conceived back in the 90's. A world wide web of linked data, which promises a much better global connected intelligence, and has much potential for artificial intelligence applications.
A global transition towards web 3.0 technologies however, has thus far not happened.
Yet, over the last two decades, various problems have been overcome and the standards and technologies are becoming ever more ripe. But altough we are slowly seeing more and more big organisations embrace semantic web technologies, not many of the more 'regular' Internet places seem to be connecting to the Semantic Web.
daVine seeks to change just that. By developing new tools that harness the potential of existing Semantic Web technologies, we aim to offer highly innovative features to existing fields, and thus empower the worldwide implementation of the Semantic Web.
Products and vision
Personal Open Webspaces.
The first product we will release will allow users to create their own data structures, and instantaneously start using it to manage a dataset. To give some concrete examples: A user could organise his/her music collection, contact or friends list, todo lists or documents precisely as he or she wants, and start using the collection, in a matter of minutes. Make a group of todo items, connect them to a date, a person, a music piece, email yourself something when the list becomes longer than 10 items, the possibilities are endless. The key here is, that the user is able to click together a personal web app, in a matter of minutes.
Natural Language Programming
As we expanding the possibilities for Open Webspaces, we will mainly be enhancing the ability for users to program within the program. Since we define this new 'programming language' to manage semantic web data in terms of semantic web data itself, the eventual evolutionary goal is easy to see. Since the Semantic Web itself is built to enable reasoning capabilities, we can use this potential to make our programming language more and more similar to natural language. Meaning that not only anyone with a little programming background will be able to click together their own semantic web app, but simply anyone that can state their wishes in natural language.
Artificial Intelligence
The Semantic Web offers great technologies to develop tools of Artificial Intelligence. One of our goals will be to create an open webspace where anyone can join in linking together the meaning and reasoning between words and groups of words. This leads to higher and higher levels of reasoning, which eventually leads to computer algorithms, that seem to understand what you say, and can respond to you, as if there were an intelligence behind it. We are already experimenting with first versions of these so called 'soft' artificial intelligence reasoning algorithms, which eventually we will be to use to make natural language search/site assistents.
