I have immense admiration and respect for the people of Japan. Not only because they have endured some of the most atrocious acts of war and constant threats of natural disasters with great bravery and resilience but also because they have decided to change their lives for the better by at least minimizing the man-made threats around them. I don't know, maybe it takes massive misfortune to realize how precious life is and how responsible it is to make the world a safer place for others. You may not always agree with the Japanese, such as some of their eccentric dietary habits leading to whale hunting, which has been criticized widely by the Western media, but their approach towards Nuclear energy is something that the entire world, not just the West, should learn something from.
Probably the best piece of news that I read in my recent memory was that Japan had shut down it's last nuclear reactor. This is a delightful development for anyone who realizes the risks of nuclear reactors present anywhere on the planet. The greatest thing to see was the Japanese people marching on to the roads and actually celebrating the shutting down of the last nuclear reactor. There were warnings that Japan could face a power shortage crisis if nuclear energy is abandoned for power production but the people insisted on going ahead with the closure of the power plants to make their country a much safer place. Call it just a reaction to the Fukushima nuclear plant leak after the recent devastating earthquake if you will, but it is an important step indeed.
While the idea of abandoning power generation through nuclear energy seems very right and noble and uncontroversial and whatnot, it is not really greeted so cheerfully around the world, whether you like it or not. As a matter of fact, people defend power generation through nuclear energy very enthusiastically, saying it is the safest way in the world to produce power. The primary rationale in Europe is that this method of power generation has very low carbon footprint. While that is right, but when you consider the potential risk to the surrounding populations, it does not seem like a very good idea, because Europe is not a very large continent in terms of area and population though it is also not one which is so sparsely populated. As a matter of fact, it is not just about Europe, a part of the world with a history of long wars. Even sparsely populated countries such as Russia would still be at great risk of the occurrence of such accidents.
I think humans tend to get a bit too selfish, as in most of other issues, when they discuss why nuclear energy is dangerous. All we think about is the risk of a potential disaster for the surrounding populations of the area but the responsibility is much greater than that. Because this encourages the proponents of nuclear energy for the construction of plants away from population. While that is the right thing to do in the first place, does it prevent the potential contamination of the environment and the spread of the nuclear waste to other areas, as we witnessed in the nuclear accidents in the past? Of course, you should be pissed about nuclear tests anyway, absolutely unacceptable. The point here is that we are putting the entire environment of the planet in danger because of exposure to nuclear contamination and that jeopardizes all the flora and fauna of the world and not just human life. Furthermore, it endangers the very possibility of life on the planet in the long run.
The fact that we often ignore is that there is no place "safe enough" for building a nuclear plant, let alone for testing a nuclear weapon. There is no place immune to a natural disaster and probably there is no nuclear plant which is absolutely infallible and invincible.
Call it cowardice and losing a great energy source but energy at the cost of safety in such a proportion is certainly not a good trade.
The Japanese have learned this lesson the hard way but I appreciate the way they have reacted to adversity every time it knocks their door.
It is time the world learns this lesson from them.
While there is still time.

A new video has been released for Prometheus showing stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace singing director Ridley Scott's praises.
The featurette shows new footage from the new sci-fi epic along with interviews with Scott and the movie's stars.
Theron, who stars as Meredith Vickers, called Scott her 'fantasy director' adding: 'He's amazing.'
She said: 'We get to walk onto a set that is incredible and have Ridley Scott direct you.'
Michael Fassbender, who plays android David, raved: 'He's at the top of his game.'
Guy Pearce, who takes the role of entrepreneur Peter Weyland, said: 'He's just constantly delving deeper. He has the most incredible vision.'
The video contains some behind-the-scenes footage of the movie which shows Scott at work behind the camera.
He said: 'I'm back again. I'm thrilled to be doing another science fiction [film].'
Scott also said rather baffling: 'It's all about everything…I'm one of those directors who comes from the 'all-about-everything' school.'
Prometheus is released in UK cinemas on June 8.

Best antivirus of 2017 you can download for free
It is no longer surprising that computer security has become the top priority of every operating system developer, software engineer and the ordinary user who aims to keep his/her computer and the containing data secure. While the developers experience difficulties making their software virus-proof, users are faced with a challenge of picking a trustworthy antivirus utility that would help add a layer of protection to the computer's security.
With so many of such utilities to choose from, it might be quite an overwhelming task, especially if you are not quite sure of what exactly you are looking for. One of the initial criterion according to which the users choose an antivirus utility is based on whether the program is expensive, affordable or free.
The last category tends to receive most attention because even though the users are concerned about the security of their devices, most of them do not enjoy spending money on expensive utilities.
Undoubtedly, paid software always offers some extra features that free applications normally do not have. Nevertheless, both, free and paid antivirus tools are created to protect computers and they do that more or less effectively. In this article we are going to discuss the free antivirus software that we think deserves user attention in 2017.
1. Avira Free Antivirus
Avira Free Antivirus is an inclusive system scanner featuring quick scanning capabilities and convenient controls. The tool's comprehensive interface allows even the least technically advanced users to operate the program easily and clean their devices from undesirable software.
In particular, Avira Free Antivirus protects against Trojans, ransomware, worms, spyware and a number of other cyber infections which aim to corrupt computer systems. Since the Avira scanner is based on a cloud system, it means that the antivirus databases are being constantly renewed and replenished with descriptions of new viruses and their versions. Independent tests show that Avira detects 99.9% of malicious files, which is an outstanding advantage.
The software doesn't overwhelm the system, which means that it helps to keep the computer malware-free without causing system slowdowns. Besides, cloud-based scanning allows the infections detected on the corrupt devices to be checked in real time. More functionalities of this antivirus utility as well as its download page can be found on the Avira Antivirus official website.
2. Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition
Bitdefender Antivirus is a goldmine of a program for the users who are not willing to spend tens or even hundreds of dollars just to feel safe when browsing the web. Besides, it is a trustworthy tool because it hardly provides any false-positive results. With this tool, all the anti-ransomware, anti-phishing, anti-malware capabilities will be active at all times, and on-demand and on-access scan engines will prevent you from visiting suspicious and plain fraudulent websites or accidentally installing some infectious utility.
Bitdefender Antivirus is specifically designed for Windows operating systems, but the company does not leave Mac and Android users aside and offer other security solution for these operating systems as well. You may find all of Bitdefender's products and their descriptions on the official Bitdefender website. After you learn more about these utilities, you may choose the one that suits your needs and system requirements the best.
3. Avast Free Antivirus
Avast Antivirus is a multiple award-winning, worldwide-acknowledged antivirus developer which is best known for offering free but powerful malware scanner for Mac, Windows and Android operating systems. Ransomware, adware, worms, browser hijackers are the malware that Avast Free Antivirus mainly focuses on.
Thus, such parasites are easily detected and banished from the infected system. Nevertheless, apart from scanning the devices on-demand, this antivirus tool also provides real-time protection that blocks unreputable websites, prevents phishing attempts and warns about potentially malicious downloads.
Finally, this program even checks the connected devices, including USB drives, phones, TV's or printers to determine whether they are safe or not. There are more features of this program that we haven't yet mentioned. If you want to find out more about the Avast products, please visit security vendor's official website.
4. AVG AntiVirus Free
Another antivirus tool that might be worth your attention is AVG AntiVirus Free — an easy-to-use software that offers reliable protection for a number of operating systems, including Windows versions starting from Windows XP, Mac OS 10.8 and later, as well as Android 2.2 and later versions.
Sophisticated AVG scanning capabilities ensure that the device is scanned both, for undesirable virus activity and system performance issues. Besides, due to a simple user interface (UI), you will not get lost within the program's settings since the program will do most of the thinking for you.
When using AVG AntiVirus Free, you may also allow yourself to forget about regular software updates as the antivirus will download them automatically itself. Generally, it is a handy tool which covers most of the daily security chores most of us often tend to dismiss. If you are already thinking about obtaining this program but want to find out a bit more about its functionalities, please read this article.
5. Panda Free Antivirus
Most computer users dream that reputable and powerful antivirus software would come free of charge. Panda Free Antivirus may just be on its way to make these dreams come true. Though the program is a lightweight tool, its powerful system scanning capacities are undeniable.
Besides, devoted browsing enthusiasts will also love the real-time protection feature which will warn about dangerous drive-by downloads and suspicious software installs as well as prevent users from visiting potentially dangerous websites that might carry out phishing attempts or try to involve users in tech support scams. In the case of emergency, Panda Free Antivirus also offers Rescue Kit utility which can be especially useful in computer decontamination after some serious malware attacks.
Perhaps the only drawback of this program is that compared with some of the previously mentioned utilities it takes longer to scan the system and indicate the threats. Other than that, Panda Free Antivirus is a reliable tool that will provide your device with a sophisticated protection and ask nothing in return. More info about Panda here.
Looking for a versatile product? Choose Reimage
Reimage is a versatile program that provides its users with useful antivirus and system optimization features. Its collaboration with antivirus giant Avira Antivir makes this application a trustworthy software that helps exterminate malware, viruses and any type of cyber threat you can think of, while the optimization functions allow to boost computer's performance and fix the device after major cyber attacks.
It is critically important for Reimage creators to provide their users with the best service possible, without adding additional strain on the computer's performance. Thus, the program does not interfere with other running programs and can work together with different antivirus scanners.
A year subscription to this program costs €37.95, which is, obviously, not free. Nevertheless, if you take your computer security and system stability seriously, purchasing Reimage is an investment that will definitely pay off. Make sure you read this article to learn more about Reimage.

Oh, dear Stephanie, thank you for sharing these rich, wonderful hymns that I remember so well singing when I was younger.

I so love the power of the Holy Spirit and His ability to work deep within our hearts through His Word. May we continue to dig deeper and love Him more each day! I love the beautiful roses and stunning of these hymns. I also love to read (and sometimes re-read) the stories of how these hymns came about.

Father's Day: June 19, 2011
The idea of Father's Day was conceived slightly more than a century ago by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., while she listened to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, a widowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm. A day in June was chosen for the first Father's Day celebration –101 years ago, June 19, 1910, proclaimed by Spokane's mayor because it was the month of Smart's birth.
The first presidential proclamation honoring fathers was issued in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Father's Day has been celebrated annually since 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed the public law that made it permanent.

MAN working on efficient new hybrid bus platform
Johannesburg - MAN Truck & Bus is working on a new hybrid bus platform that could be up to 20 percent more efficient than existing models with conventional drivetrains.
The new bus, which is due by the end of 2017 in basic form, is being developed as part of Europe's new ECOCHAMPS project - a research group consisting of 26 brands working together to develop cheaper, lighter, tougher and more efficient hybrid technology.
"In the city bus segment in particular, we are seeing huge potential for using eMobility applications. However, the Total Cost of Ownership plays an especially significant role for transport operators and carriers," explains Dr. Götz von Esebeck, Head of eMobility at MAN Truck & Bus. "For this reason, we are working continuously to find both technical and economic improvements for our solutions."
One of these solutions, according to MAN, is to standardise some of the hybrid components used in high-volume passenger vehicles, which could then also be used in commercial vehicles.
Few specific details about the future bus are available, but MAN says the concept is to develop an electric driveline which could be paired with other energy sources such as a diesel generator or fuel cell depending on customer requirements.
The new system could also recover braking energy, save it for a short period, and use it for auxiliary drives such as electric power steering, heating and air compressors.
MAN sees this hybrid drive as a bridging technology until purely electric transit buses are introduced.

A child's dream, a design that reflects the innocence and the vision of the lives of children. The Paula Collection, designed by a nine-year-old girl, who is the daughter of Jael Joyería's owners, is made from gold and silver earrings, pendants and silver bracelets combined with red, pink or blue leather, unique pieces that symbolise a family made up of a father, mother, little brother and little sister.
In her drawing, Paula added a smiling cloud that has become another one of the emblems for any of the pieces. The jewellery allows multiple combinations of these elements, with a single brother or sister as the subject, in the case of a gift for a birth or First Communion; with the father or the mother for such special days like Father's or Mother's Day; or simply with the smiling cloud.

You are looking LIVE! at the Houston Press' new Hair Balls blog. Take a second to luxuriate in the subtle, distinctive logo.
One of the ways we hope to get things going here is by interacting with you. Feel free to comment, drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 713-280-2479. All tips, compliments and disses encouraged.
It may take a while to get our rhythm, but if there are five things we've learned about blogs, it's:
1. Lists. Make lots of lists. Like this.
2. Mention the starlet-of-the-day in as many headlines as possible, so search engines will drive traffic to you. (If you see a headline saying "Drunk, Pantyless Lindsay Lohan & Metro's Plans to Expand Light-Rail," just don't pay attention to the first part.)
3. Also, nip slips are an extremely important phenomenon in modern American life. Please send in any and all photos of Houston women experiencing nip slips. We're not sure why this is important -- we've all seen nipples -- but it apparently is.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
4. Print every Obama rumor you can. We're working right now on an exclusive involving him and a pantyless, drunk Lindsay Lohan.
5. Every list must include some piece of criticism that will rile up an extremely dedicated bunch of commenters. Therefore we declare: The new iPhone sucks, as does everything Apple puts out; Ron Paul's ideas are unconstitutional and Battlestar Galacatica is better than Star Wars. (We have absolutely no idea about two of those three, by the way.)
Anyway, welcome and check back early and often.

Thanks Dan, we all really do appreciate your effort in helping resolve this question. Trulia.com and Zillow.com are probably the two largest real estate and rental listing sites. Zillow.com Home Rental Listing: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/15-Allison-Dr-Cabot-AR-72023/255817_zpid/ Trulia.com Apartment Rental Listing: http://www.trulia.com/rental/3073588551-2820-Alden-Ave-Dallas-TX-75211 Trulia currently uses the Product and Offer schema types to mark up their rental property listings, and because they are one of the largest sites in the real estate sector, people have been following their lead and suggesting to people to use the same Schema.org markup as them without knowing whether it is the intended or valid way to go about it. As Jesse suggested, Diggsy.com is another great example and uses a very similar markup to Trulia, where they employ the Product and Offer types, as opposed to Residence: http://www.diggsy.com/IL/Chicago/235-W-Van-Buren-Chicago-IL-60605/07902853/ Apartments.com is another one of the very large real estate listing sites, here is an example of a listing from them: http://www.apartments.com/rent/Jacksonville-FL/Cape-House/101872.910 Thanks again Dan, and I really look forward to learning more. -- Kurt On 18.01.2012 12:28, Dan Brickley wrote: > Hi Kurt, > > On 16 January 2012 23:48, Kurt Maine wrote: > >> I was wondering if you could do us all a favor and way in on this issue?

So, I lost my book for awhile…well, more than awhile. And that is just like me in this season…that has spanned these many years. But thankfully! in the midst of Thanksgiving clean-up, it was rediscovered and I am back. (and now it's February! But I am on it! 🙂 )
This is Part 2 of Chapter 4 from Mission of Motherhood: The Servant Mother
And yet somewhere, over the years, the Lord convicted me that the future was not where real life began. Each day was God's perfect will for me. There would be no wasted years of "just taking care of the needs of my young children." (page 68)
O! This spoke to me! As I stand on the cusp of my first graduation, and I look down many years of my mothering journey behind and before, these words are for my very heart this day and this season. Each day is God's perfect will for me. Each day, making juice cups, and brushing hair, eyeing college applications and emails, and supervising online classes, teaching grammar and writing, and science, and Bible. Talking with teens and tucking in littles. O, that this would sink deep in my heart and that I would do better!
For thought and reflection:
These are the four Scriptures offered at the end of this chapter:
Matthew 20:25-28 English Standard Version (ESV)
25 But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[a] 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,[b] 28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
John 15:12-13 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Philippians 2:14-15 English Standard Version (ESV)
14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
Luke 1:38 English Standard Version (ESV)
38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant[a] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
Passage 2 and passage 4 are the ones that resound most strongly for my heart at this time. John 15:12-13 is a motivating call toward ministry flowing out of love. It delights my heart and fills my soul to know that I know Jesus more intimately when I walk with Him (as He walked in ministry) with my precious family. I know the power of His life laying down for me, when I live likewise. I know Him in His love poured out, as I pour out in Him. Luke 1:38 speaks to my heart of surrender and it has been a passage that has been close to me through many years of child-bearing. Sally speaks of reflecting about what it cost Mary throughout her life to respond in this manner to the Holy Spirit. "What did it cost Mary throughout her life to be available to God?" (page 76) This is timely for me as the surrender is costing me in new and different ways in this season. My focus is wrong if I am expecting or thinking that leisure and ease are to be mine. The precious blessing is in giving up my rights and this is a surrender that occurs again and again. The truth is, the intimacy and fulfillment in God are far greater and more satisfying than anything the world can offer- and Mary walked in that reality when she surrendered. May that reality be mine, too. As seasons change, and child-bearing ends, it is timely for me to remember that this godly heart response can be and is still mine.
May Jesus draw you close, precious Mamas. May your week be full of grace. May you know what it is to be precious and cherished as you prize the ones in your care,

Precautions before a Hurricane or Heavy Storm.
Claims after the storm.
If you're keeping up with the weather we know there's a storm in the works. Of course there is no guarantee it will hit us but just to be safe we've described a few precautions (if you haven't already done them) to protect your belongings. Preparing your personal items before the storm hits leaves you to focus on you and your loved ones in case of an evacuation. Also taking these precautions make the steps if you do have to make a claim less stressful.
If you're not able to bring your car, boat, RV, motorcycle or other type of vehicle with you there are other options. Park vehicles indoors when possible. If you can't then try to find higher ground that is close to a sturdy building for more protections. Keep vehicles away from trees or poles; any large objects that can fall on it and cause damage. Make sure to secure RV awnings so wind doesn't tear them away.
It's best to remove your boat from the water and move it inland before a storm hits. Boats left unsecured can not only be damaged by wind or flying objects from hurricane forces, but they can float away if waters rise. If it's secured properly, your boat is much more likely to survive a storm inland than on water.
Just make sure that if you cannot take something with you your items are secure as possible
If you've taken all the precautions but still find yourself in a situation where you have to make a claim after a storm, it's important that you have Comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage covers damages resulting from high winds, flooding or other weather-related factors.
Don't just take important documents with you. Waterproof them, too.
If you have to evacuate, you should take all important documents. This means waterproof your insurance papers! Even if you don't have to evacuate, it's a good idea to keep these documents in a waterproof container, to help minimize time spent on the phone or working through a claim if you have to make one after the storm.
Report damage as soon as possible. If any of your vehicles are damaged, report the damage as soon as you can. The sooner your insurance company knows about it, the sooner it can begin resolving your claim.
Take Pictures of absolutely everything. Pictures can help your insurance company identify and find your vehicles if they've floated or flow away during a storm. They also can show items that may have been attached to your vehicle that may have been lost or damaged during a hurricane.
Your safety should always be your major concern when preparing for and evacuating because of a hurricane. Remember to give yourself plenty of time to figure out your evacuation plan, and make sure your family members or others who plan to leave with you also know the drill. You may even want to practice a couple of times to ensure things run as smoothly as possible.
Following these tips well before a storm hits your area can help you stay calm during an evacuation. Plus, knowing you've done what you can to prepare for a storm, as well as for any claims you might have to make afterward, can provide much-needed peace of mind during turbulent times.
If you have any other questions please call us at the office or stop by. We are here for you before and after the storm to help!

Last week I went to dinner with my 80-year-old dad who was visiting me from Arizona. We were reminiscing about the days before my parents' divorce. Some of my childhood memories were actually good. Then he said to me, "Even though your mom and I got divorced, you and your sisters turned out just fine. You've all done great."
I just sat there and nodded my head. I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. We hadn't turned out fine. Even though he knows my sisters and I also got divorced, he doesn't know the depth of the emotional pain we went through in our own marriages and divorces.

Logia is one of the three Devil Fruit types. It is characterized by giving its user the ability to create limitless amounts of an element or force of nature and to turn into that same element or force of nature, making them intangible even in the case of something solid like ice, but not in the case of something abstract like darkness. It is this feature that defines every Logia type seen so far, as a Devil Fruit power that changes the user's body to a tangible material would instead be considered a Paramecia type. Such is the case with the Gomu Gomu no Mi and Jozu's unnamed devil fruit, as they technically turn into their respective "elements", but are not intangible.
Logia Devil Fruits are considered the most powerful as well as the rarest of the three Devil Fruit types overall (not including the Zoan subclass, Mythical Zoan).[1][2]
The term Logia was first used when Laki heard about Enel's Devil Fruit abilities.[3]

Logia Devil Fruits allow a person to create, control, and transform their bodies into a natural element or force of nature, depending on the fruit. The user can transform partly, or completely.
One of the greatest strengths of Logia fruits are the defensive capabilities that they have to offer. A Logia user can be shattered, split, or otherwise separated into multiple parts, sometimes down to the size of dust, and reform their bodies without injury given that their bodies are in their elemental state. Physical attacks will simply pass through or be absorbed into the user's elemental body, allowing them a large degree of intangibility. The only known exception to this aspect would be with Blackbeard, whose Yami Yami no Mi powers absorb strikes and make them stronger, making him suffer in greater pain than if he would have taken the hit physically. Another trait was displayed with this ability to recover from physical damage, as seen when one half of Monet's body was able to act freely of the other when she was cut in half, demonstrating that parts of a Logia's separate body can even act in a fragmented state.
In addition to their ability to become their element, Logia users can generate limitless amounts of their element and control it, giving them fearsome attack abilities. A prime example of this class' destructiveness is the battle between Kuzan and Sakazuki. When they clashed with each other at full force, their Logia powers permanently distorted the weather of Punk Hazard, turning one half into a frozen wasteland, and the other half into a blazing inferno.[4] Another example is when Ace and Blackbeard destroyed Banaro Island during their confrontation. However, certain elements, such as smoke and swamp, are more suitable for capturing enemies rather than causing raw destruction.
Logia users can also use their element in other ways related to their element: Crocodile's sand powers could be used to absorb moisture,[5] Caesar Clown's gas abilities allow him to manipulate air constitutions,[6] Enel's electrical heat could melt and reshape metal,[7] Aokiji's ability could freeze water,[8] and Kizaru's ability could permit him to travel as beams of light. Logia fruits can afford the users immunity to effects related to their elements as well. For example, Crocodile and Ace are completely unaffected by the desert heat, as they possess Logia abilities related to aridity and heat, respectively.
Certain Logia users can also control their respective elements that are not generated from their own bodies, but are already preexisting within the environment. They can accomplish so by utilizing their own element from their own body and adding it to the preexisting source, augmenting their already powerful force to higher and more versatile levels. Primary examples include when Crocodile created unstoppable sandstorms in a desert area,[9] Enel causing lightning from the clouds to strike down his targets,[10] and Caesar shifting the atmospheric air to suffocate his opponents.[6] However, none of the Logia users shown so far can manipulate their respective elements if it is in another state of matter or energy.
Finally, Logia users' physical strengths do not influence the power of the fruit. Regardless of the original strength of the user, their gained powers are of the same scale. This is different from Zoan fruits, which act as physical strength multipliers, and Paramecia fruits, which can be used in conjunction with the user's physical abilities. However, the properties of the Devil Fruit's element can provide certain instances where the user can exploit it in conjunction with their own fighting moves. An example of this is seen in the case of Kizaru, who used his light element to augment his kicking strength to explosive levels.
Despite the fearsome power of Logia users, they are not invincible.[11] Since all users are required to transform into their respective element voluntarily, sneak attacks are more likely to work, as the user will not have enough time to shift into their elemental state and avoid the attacks.[12] However, with training, most Logia users learn to transform by reflex, eliminating their weakness of being attacked through conventional means.[13] For example, Enel's ability has been trained to the point that he could reflexively change into his lightning form while partially asleep, using Mantra to predict his enemy's actions.[14] Or when Ace first meets Blackbeard after the Alabasta Arc and is shot by Van Augur, the bullets go right through him leaving fiery holes which heal up after a short time.
Inexperienced Logia users also tend to become seemingly overconfident, as they are unaccustomed to physically dodging or receiving attacks, due to the nature of their powers. Thus, if this advantage is neutralized by some means, they then have to start to rely on their own physical ability to dodge, a skill which they may or may not be proficient at. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that most Logia users shown thus far are extremely physically tough, even when their bodies are vulnerable. However, for users who solely rely on their so-called invincibility while having little to no natural defensive power, such as Caribou, this overconfidence seems to be far more apparent and damaging. Also, reforming their bodies after receiving an opponent's attack requires concentration. Fear can even hinder the regeneration process, as seen when Monet felt so much fear at how Roronoa Zoro could have used Haki to kill her, to the point that she could not properly reform herself for a moment, barely managing to get one half of her body to fight.[15]
Another way to harm a Logia user is to exploit the element itself, using its properties to solidify the user's body and rendering them vulnerable to damage. For example, Enel, being made of electricity, is vulnerable to Luffy's rubber body despite his honed reflexes, since rubber is an insulator.[16] Another example is Crocodile, who, being made of sand, can be struck if his body is dampened (either by getting him wet or striking him with something with a wet surface), since sand sticks together if wet.[17]
In addition to solidifying the user's body, it is possible to use elemental weaknesses to a further extreme, completely neutralizing the element that makes up the user's body. Even though a Logia user can generate near-limitless amounts of their element, they cannot recover from blows that damage their true physical body, no matter what state it's in. This is first shown by Akainu, whose magma was able to overpower Ace's flames, causing him physical damage despite both being Logia users. The Hie Hie no Mi is also capable of overpowering the Yuki Yuki no Mi[18] In addition to this, Logia users cannot regenerate their limbs from their true body if they are severed, as it was revealed that Aokiji has lost a sizable amount of his left leg (up to half of his thigh) during his post-timeskip battle against Akainu for the Fleet Admiral position, and resorts to using a prosthetic ice leg made of his Devil Fruit's power.[19]
Users of Busoshoku Haki can strike Logia users as if they were human; Rayleigh describes it as the ability to "force into solidity the fluid bodies of the near-invincible Logia Fruit users". When Haki is used in an attack to a Logia user while they are intangible, rather than nullifying the powers completely, it allows the Haki user to deal damage to them as if their bodies were normal. It also allows the one using Haki to grab the person in their transformed state as if they were tangible.[20] During his battle with Smoker, Vergo demonstrated that Logia users should not transform into their element against people more proficient in the use of Haki than them, since the increased body volume also increases the area where the Logia user can be attacked.
This is not infallible, however, as both Aokiji and Akainu (Haki users themselves) have both been hit by Haki-enhanced attacks that should have injured them, but have reformed back to normal. Akainu does mention that it is annoying to fight Haki users, suggesting that he took significant effort to resist it.[21] There is also the solution of simply dodging Haki-imbued attacks; physical contact is still required to harm a Logia user, which means that as long as the Logia user performs long-range, indirect attacks, they can remain perfectly invulnerable.[15]
Finally, Logia users suffer the same weakness to the sea and Seastone as with other Devil Fruit users, forcing them back into their original form and sealing their powers. So far though, apart from Smoker, most Logia users seem to be able to avoid contact with the sea by either flying over the water or freezing it.[22][23]
- Every canon Logia comes from a natural element or force of nature.
- Except for Enel, every canon Logia user revealed before the timeskip was present during the Battle of Marineford.
- The word "Logia" is a Greek word from New Testament scholarship that translates roughly as "sayings, utterances, oracles". It is surmised that given the kanji, this type of Devil Fruit is meant to represent an element of nature "speaking" with force; always with a destructive capacity.
- Trebol utilizes his Paramecia ability, the Beta Beta no Mi, to create a thick coat of mucus over his slim and frail body to trick his opponents into thinking he has a Logia ability.[24]
- In the magazine release of Chapter 863, the Mochi Mochi no Mi was stated to be a Logia, but this has been changed in the volume release into a "special Paramecia".

So here's what I did...some of my girlfriend's relatives have gathered for a couple of days, and I wanted to shoot a family portrait for them, since it's doubtful that we'll all be together in the same spot any time soon, if at all in the future. They came down from Washington, up from Vegas, met in Sacramento, and there ya go.
I shot 4 sheets on the Tachihara 8x10 with the old brass magic lantern petzval (thanks again, Jim! ) I had definitely wanted to do 2 shots with the petzval and then do 2 shots with the 14" Commercial Ektar, so that I had at least 2 shots with an actual shutter, not just my fedora.
The shots were done just before sunset in front of the house, so there was direct sunlight on everyone's faces. Everyone has dispersed at this point, so there's no chance of a re-shoot.
Meter readings were: black pants of girlfriend, EV11.2, white garage door in background EV15.5. I've always rated the petzval (roughly 12" focal length) at f8 and had decent success with it before, so this was giving me a 1/30th sec. exposure time. With the 'remove the fedora, replace the fedora' shutter I was using, I figure I'm about 2 to 3 stops overexposed.
Film is FP4 rated at 64. I usually develop in Pyrocat HD 2:2:100 for 8 minutes in trays when I can control the shutterspeed.
Can anyone give me some guesstimate of what time I should use for the first exposure? I did 4 for insurance in case I screw up 3 of them (very likely) but I'd like to be reasonably close with the first one so that I can finetune the last 3.
Is there a good reason to back my dilution down to 1:1:100 and try stand or semi-stand developing? My only option is tray developed, so I don't really know if it's still called 'stand', plus I don't relish sitting in the dark bathroom for 40 minutes + fix time.
My concern is that by shortening the development time down too much, I'm going to lose local contrast in things like faces, hands, etc. Is this a legitimate concern?
Is there a better developer out there than my existing PcatHD for this sort of scenario? I have an unopened bag of Microdol-X that is fresh (someone gave it to me) but I have never used this developer before so I'd rather not experiment on these shots unless there's a clear benefit to this developer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Assert is a useful function that checks a condition and outputs an error if it is not met at run time. Aside from generating some overhead in the code it is also pretty useless on microcontrollers because the messages go to STDERR and, well, there isn't one. A much better solution is to do the check at compile time as then there is no overhead and you can see the error messages.
Unfortunately the C pre-processor is just a glorified text processor and knows almost nothing about C, so you can't use things like sizeof(). I found this solution:
// compile time static assertions (http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/static_assert.html)
#define ASSERT_CONCAT_(a, b) a##b
#define ASSERT_CONCAT(a, b) ASSERT_CONCAT_(a, b)
#define ct_assert(e) enum { ASSERT_CONCAT(assert_line_, __LINE__) = 1/(!!(e)) }
If you then write this:
ct_assert(sizeof(EEP_CONFIG_t) == 32);
If the condition is not true it will cause a divide by zero error on that line. Not ideal but it seems to work. In this case an EEPROM page happens to be 32 bytes and the struct is padded. Thanks to Pixelbeat.

Vaccines & do you need them?
Hepatitis A (HepA)
Maybe. You need this vaccine if you have a specific risk factor for hepatitis A virus infection* or simply want to be protected from this disease. The vaccine is usually given in 2 doses, 6–18 months apart.
Hepatitis B (HepB)
Maybe. You need this vaccine if you have a specific risk factor for hepatitis B virus infection* or simply want to be protected from this disease. The vaccine is given in 3 doses, usually over 6 months.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
Maybe. You need this vaccine if you are a woman age 26 years or younger or a man age 21 years or younger. Men age 22 through 26 years with a risk condition* also need vaccination. Any other man age 22 through 26 who wants to be protected from HPV may receive it, too. The vaccine is given in 3 doses over 6 months.
Yes! You need a dose every fall (or winter) for your protection and for the protection of others around you.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
Maybe. You need at least 1 dose of MMR if you were born in 1957 or later. You may also need a 2nd dose.*
Meningococcal (MCV4, MPSV4)
Maybe. You need this vaccine if you have one of several health conditions, or if you are 19–21 and a first-year college student living in a residence hall and you either have never been vaccinated or were vaccinated before age 16.* †
Pneumococcal (PPSV23, PCV13)
Maybe. You need 1 dose of PPSV23 at age 65 years (or older) if you've never been vaccinated or you were previously vaccinated at least 5 years ago when you were younger than age 65 years. You also need 1–2 doses if you smoke cigarettes or have certain chronic health conditions. Some adults with certain high-risk conditions also need vaccination with PCV13. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out if you need this vaccine.* †
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Whooping cough (Pertussis) (Tdap, Td)
Yes! All adults who have not yet received a dose of Tdap, as an adolescent or adult, need to get Tdap vaccine (the adult whooping cough vaccine). And, all women need to get a dose during each pregnancy. After that, you need a Td booster dose every 10 years. Consult your healthcare provider if you haven't had at least 3 tetanus- and diphtheria-containing shots sometime in your life or have a deep or dirty wound.
Varicella (chickenpox)
Maybe. If you've never had chickenpox or were vaccinated but received only 1 dose, talk to your health-care provider to find out if you need this vaccine.*
Maybe. If you are age 60 years or older, you should get a 1-time dose of this vaccine now.
Zoster (shingles)
Maybe. Some adults with certain high-risk conditions need vaccination with Hib. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out if you need this vaccine.* †
* Consult your healthcare provider to determine your level of risk for infection and your need for this vaccine.
† People who lack a spleen need this vaccine.
If you don't have health insurance, free or low-cost vaccine is available.
Find a participating clinic by clicking here.
Preteens need vaccines too!
Call to schedule your child's preteen doctor visit today!
Remember to bring your child's immunization record card. The preteen doctor visit is key to a healthy start for adolescence. It's also the perfect opportunity to discuss ways to stay healthy, such as eating right, being active, and standing up to peer pressure. The doctor will also recommend immunizations to protect your child from some serious diseases. Some immunizations help strengthen your child's baby shots and others are specifically for preteens. If you are concerned about the cost of shots, free or low cost immunizations are available. Talk to your doctor or clinic.
Shots for 11- to 12-year-olds:
Varicella (chickenpox)
- 2 shots needed for 7-12th grade
- For those who have never had chickenpox disease
- For those who have not already had two doses
- Why? Teens can be much sicker with chickenpox
Hepatitis B
- 3 shots needed for 7 -12th grade
- For those who have not already received this series of 3 shots
Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- 2 MMR shots needed for 7-12th grade
- For those who only received 1 shot previously
Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap)
- 1 shot needed for 7-12th grade
- For preteens instead of the Td booster
- Tdap vaccine also protects against whooping cough
Meningococcal (MCV)
- Needed for 7-12th grade
- For preteens before they go into 7th grade (and then a booster shot at age 16)
- Protects against 3 of the 4 most common types of meningitis
HPV (human papillomavirus)
- Not required by law but highly recommended
- For girls and boys starting around 11 years of age
- This vaccine, given in a series of 3 shots, prevents most cervical cancer and certain types of anal cancer, vaginal cancers, and possibly mouth and throat cancers
- Not required by law but highly recommended
- Protects against flu (given each year)
Help your preteen stay calm during shots:
Encourage your preteen to:
- Bring along his/her favorite music
- Remember to breathe-take slow, deep breaths
- Make eye contact with you or another supportive person
- Close his/her eyes and think of a favorite place or activity
- Focus on something in the room, like a poster
- Tell you about a fun upcoming activity
- Remember that getting shots may sting a little, but it's much better than getting sick
Vaccinate older teens too!
Several newer vaccines (Tdap, MCV, and HPV) may not have been available when your older kids were preteens. Check with your doctor or clinic to see if they need to catch up on their shots.
Adults need vaccines too!
Your need for immunizations doesn't end when you reach adulthood. You're never too old to get immunized! Getting immunized is a lifelong, life-protecting job. Each time you visit your health care provider, ask what vaccines you might need.
Vaccines for all adults:
- Influenza: All adults should get flu vaccine every year.
- Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap): Every adult should get one dose of Tdap vaccine. Then, every 10 years after that, get a Td (tetanus-diphtheria) vaccine. Pregnant women should get a dose of Tdap during every pregnancy, even if they've had it before.
- Varicella (chickenpox): Every adult who has never had chickenpox and has never been vaccinated against varicella should get two doses of varicella vaccine.
Vaccines for adults at certain ages:
- Meningococcal: Through age 21, if a first-year college student living in a residence hall.
- Human papillomavirus (HPV): For all women through age 26, all men through age 21, and certain men through age 26 – those who have compromised immune systems or who have sex with other men.
- Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR): If born in 1957 or later. Most adults only need one dose of MMR. Those going to school, travelers, and health care workers need two doses.
- Zoster (shingles): For those age 60 and up.
- Pneumococcal: Everyone age 65 and up, even if you had a dose previously.
Vaccines for adults with certain medical conditions or special situations:
- Pneumococcal: For people who have diabetes; lung, heart, or liver disease (including alcoholism); immune suppression; asplenia; or cochlear implants. Also for smokers and those living in long-term care facilities.
- Meningococcal: For people who have asplenia or certain chronic immune defects. Also for microbiologists with occupational exposure.
- Hepatitis A: For people with chronic liver disease or clotting factor disorders. Also for men who have sex with men (MSM) and close contacts of newly arriving intemational adoptees.
- Hepatitis B: For people with chronic liver disease, diabetes. clotting factor disorders, HIV or another sexually transmitted infection, or are on dialysis. Also for MSM, health care workers, and developmental disability workers.
Vaccines for travelers:
If you're traveling outside the United States, you may need to be vaccinated against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, MMR, influenza, meningococcal disease, yellow fever, typhoid, rabies, or Japanese encephalitis.
Allow several weeks before your trip because some vaccines require more than one dose.

I recently bought a PS Vita OLED model that just happened to have 3G/cellular network capability. The person I bought it from said the battery doesn't hold a charge over a day when turned off. I replaced the battery in hopes that would be the issue. Like before, the Vita had no charge after a day of being turned off. I removed the SIM card and turned off the GPS to no avail. Doing a Google search showed others had this problem as well but no real solution beyond what I did.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Piano Bar Legend Jerry Scott Passes Away at 67
Jerry Scott, the extraordinary Manhattan entertainer whose stellar renditions of every genre of music from show tunes to standards to pop to operetta to ragtime, fired up audiences for over 40 years in Manhattan, died peacefully at 1:00 a.m. on April 4 at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx after a valiant struggle with cancer. He was 67 years old and lived on the upper east side of Manhattan.
A nightlife mainstay on the Manhattan scene, Jerry Scott was one of the town's most beloved and popular singer/pianists. On any given night, his repertory might range from versatile interpretations of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin or Gershwin to tearing down the rafters with a raucous sing-along in an over packed, noisy room. He had a repertoire of more than 2500 songs.
Jerry Scott had a following that numbered in the thousands. Many from out of town built their vacations or visits to New York around his schedule. The list of nightspots he performed at in Manhattan is hard to count and goes back to the 1970s where he began at The Candy Store working alongside Huston Alred and Steve Ross. They also include: The Regency Hotel, Nickel's Steak House, The Painted Pony, East Five Three, Waverly/Waverly, Oh Johnny!, Tatou, Rappsody, Rosemarie's, Ruby Fruit, One Potato, Nino's Tuscany, Catarina's, Butler's, Danny's and Parnell's to name a handful. Jerry also worked at Harrah's Marina in Atlantic City as well as many ports in Europe, the Caribbean and Russia. After performing at a fund raiser for Hillary Clinton, he was invited to perform for President Clinton two weeks later.
Jerry was honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs (MAC) 12 times for his excellence in piano bars and rooms. He also received a Bistro Award from Back Stage, a Critic's Choice Award and was twice named entertainer of the year for excellence in piano bar performing by various outlets. His free-spirited, grandiose piano runs had him compared to many greats including Liberace and Peter Allen. He also had a fondness for stride and jazz piano and had a great time when he was able to let loose and swing. His between-song banter was always entertaining and filled with fun. He welcomed everyone like a best friend. And, he was exceptionally gracious to the many visiting singers who wanted to step up to the mic.
Among mainstays in his most requested repertoire were: You've Got A Friend, Always, I'll Catch The Sun, Rhythm Of Life, Neapolitan Song Medley, Nessun Dorma, Could It Be Magic, Mack & Mabel Medley, All That Jazz and Ring Them Bells. His powerful, eclectic style enabled him to comfortably turn any piano or keyboard into a grand orchestra or melt it to a whisper on the quietest ballad. He once said, "...I love to make people happy -- that's my job...I play the music as I hear it in my head."
While focusing on Manhattan in New York, Jerry also played around the country as a guest artist early in his career including stints in Texas. Originally from Pennsylvania near Altoona, Jerry also played for local church choirs and was adept at the organ as well. He was the very first to say yes to any benefit that asked. And, he was particularly active with Hearts & Voices at the height of the AIDS crisis.
At this time, funeral and memorial arrangements are incomplete and an invitation only tribute will be announced in New York. Jerry was one of 9 children and also leaves a large family of nieces and nephews who adored him. He will be sorely missed by countless heartbroken friends, loved ones and fans near and far.
