Despite picking up points on their travels in their two games, it hasn't been a happy week for manager Gary Bowyer.
Not for the first time this season, decisions went against Rovers in the matches against Watford and Millwall, leaving the Lancashire club to settle for a point on each occasion.
Now as Rovers prepare to face Brighton at Ewood Park this Tuesday evening, Bowyer wants his side to again show the same fighting spirit, but to this time get the win.
"I don't think any of us are happy," said Bowyer. "The players aren't happy because for the majority of it the performances have been very good.
"There's a lot of positivity from our reactions and how we finished both games, but we've not won the games because things have been taken out of our hands and things that we can't control in terms of the decisions that have gone against us.
"We've conceded ten penalties and all of them away from home, that is a staggering amount.
"I've no problems with the fact that if you give penalties away and it is an actual penalty, but we've had a good case this season for being very harshly done by away from home. Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Barnsley, Watford and now Millwall. They're just not penalties."
Tickets for this evening's match against Brighton will be on sale up until the 7.45pm kick-off. Tickets are priced from £15 Adults, £10 Seniors and £5 Juniors.

Sydney, 28th July 2017 – Throughout the months of July and August, YIPs branches across Australia and New Zealand will hold events to welcome the 2018 Financial Year. The YIPs End of Financial Year events gave Young Professionals an opportunity to engage in an evening of networking drinks and canapés with their colleagues from various areas of the insurance industry.
Tickets for the events drew great interest, and in many cases sold out within weeks, if not days of release. The EOFY functions are keystone events in the YIPs calendar and are hotly anticipated by Young Professionals each year. The events have been a great success, with some branches still to hold their events in early August.

Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Absorber Nozzles
Removal of sulfur oxides, commonly referred to as SOx, from an exhaust gases using an alkali reagent, such as a wet limestone slurry.
When fossil fuels are utilized in combustion processes to run boilers, furnaces, or other equipment they have the potential to release SO2 or SO3 as part of the exhaust gas. These sulfur oxides react easily with other elements to form harmful compound such as sulfuric acid and have the potential to negatively affect human health and the environment. Due to these potential effects, control of this compound in flue gases is an essential part of coal fired power plants and other industrial applications.
Due to erosion, plugging, and build-up concerns, one of the most reliable systems to control these emissions is an open-tower wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process using a limestone, hydrated lime, seawater, or other alkaline solution. Spray nozzles are able to effectively and reliably distribute these slurries into absorption towers. By creating uniform patterns of properly sized droplets, these nozzles are able to effectively create the surface area needed for proper absorbtion while minimizing entrainment of the scrubbing solution into the flue gas.
Selecting an FGD Absorber Nozzle:
Important factors to consider:
Scrubbing media density and viscosity
Required droplet size
The correct droplet size is essential to ensuring proper absorption rates
Nozzle material
As the flue gas is often corrosive and the scrubbing fluid is frequently a slurry with high solids content and abrasive properties, selecting the appropriate corrosion and wear resistant material is important
Nozzle clog resistance
As the scrubbing fluid is frequently a slurry with high solids content, selection of the nozzle with regard to clog resistance is important
Nozzle spray pattern and placement
In order to ensure proper absorption complete coverage of the gas stream with no bypass and sufficient residence time is important
Nozzle connection size and type
Required scrubbing fluid flow rates
Available pressure drop (∆P) across the nozzle
∆P = supply pressure at nozzle inlet – process pressure outside nozzle
Our experienced engineers can help determine which nozzle will perform as required with your design details
Common FGD Absorber Nozzle Uses and Industries:
Coal and other fossil fuel power plants
Petroleum refineries
Municipal waste incinerators
Cement kilns
Metal smelters

High Altitude Science have improved their popular but expensive flight computer by adding an APRS radio module to down link the tracker information in real time.
The radio module allows you to track your Eagle flight computer with live data anywhere in where you can use APRS devices on aircraft. The Radio Bug APRS tracker plugs into our Eagle Flight Computer's S1 Port and transmits your payload's position, altitude, speed, temperature, and pressure once every minute. Because the Eagle Flight Computer's GPS receiver works above 18,000 m (~60,000 ft), users will be able to track payloads all the way up to burst altitude.
The APRS system uses a network of hundreds of IGates (internet gates) distributed across many countries to receive the data transmitted by HAS trackers.
Radio Bug
The Radio Bug is a state of the art APRS transmitter designed specifically for weather balloon tracking. At just under 25 grams it requires less than one cubic foot of helium to compensate for the extra weight. The Radio Bug has a 250 mW transmitter mounted in the center of a dipole antenna. This is the most effective antenna for tracking weather balloon payloads over long distances.
This device cannot be used in the UK, but the UKHAS does provide information on where it can be used. Just follow this link.

This was this week's hype in the aerospace industry: Elon Musk presented his vision for reaching Mars and beyond. There are countless analyses and reviews of his presentation (here for instance for a technical one) weighting either in favor or against Musk.
I got several times the question by friends, colleagues about what I , as an ex space propulsion engineer, was thinking about the feasibility of this vision. The bare answer is: I don't know. I mean, there is not enough information in this presentation to evaluate the feasibility of the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS). I wonder how pundits can get an opinion on that. There has been countless Mars mission design proposals in the past. This one is not really different. It is both credible and far-fetched because written on the same model: you assess the requirements (in terms of costs, mission duration, target), you take the existing technology (to be credible) and you extrapolate it to meet the requirements (and it may look far-fetched or not, whether you are part of the proposal team or not). So basically, here, SpaceX develops the cost model to have almost routine trips to Mars (very cheap but it is a target – it makes sense to have something cheap if you want to "democratize" space); it takes the existing technology, a bit improved (the Raptor), the reusable launcher (complete reusability instead of only first stage) and it extrapolates the system (increase the number of engines, huge composite tanks,…) to be able to have a cheap transport. This is what was presented. There is no new concept, no really new technology.
So, how can you assess the feasibility of the mission? You cannot because there are missing data on the critical part: the execution. And in the space industry, the execution is the key from failure to success. What methods do they want to apply? How do they want to adapt their organization, their team, to meet the challenges? What new tools will they use to transfer this concept in reality?
If you think of it, SpaceX has not invented new technologies or radically new concepts of missions. They have taken existing ideas that other private companies have also taken (vertical landing – McDonnell and Blue Origin, space capsule with Orbital). I assume that NASA played an important role for the transfer of technology towards private company and that they didn't need a huge effort of research and development. But what Musk did and this is a huge change, was to set up a modern organization managing both the system and the underlying technologies (propulsion, GNC, actuators), something that the Big Players like Boeing or EADS didn't bother to do because technology is low-level. Adding to that modern IT tools to automate the manufacturing and production, it was possible for a relatively small team to develop and optimize in a very efficient way the construction of a new, partly reusable launcher and the associated space capsule. In the case of the Mars mission, there is no indication of what they will do in terms of organization, of how they will scale their methods to accomplish this challenge. For instance, they showed this big composite tank. Nice but how did they build it? The difficulty is to create an industrial robot which is able to loom that for big series while respecting the tolerances required. No word about that. Yet, this is where the feasibility of the project can be assessed. But this is also the heart of SpaceX. I understand that Musk does not want to reveals his trumps.
So, what about this presentation? What is the purpose of it if it is not to present the technical details of the project? In my opinion, there are two goals, one external, one internal.
Externally, you have to create the proper spirit for this kind of expensive endeavor. So this is a classical strategy when you want to sell a project where you know in advance that people are not convinced or concerned: you show far in advanced the most advanced and incredible version of your project; the first time, people will say he is crazy; the second time, they will say no, the third time: "mmmm", the fourth time: "why not…" and so on until they completely change their mind and say: "let's go" and sign the check. People need time to get used to a crazy idea. Very probably, you will not get what you asked for at the beginning, but a limited version which will correspond to what you actually wanted. This is a very effective long-term strategy to fund new experiments. I can completely imagine that it is what Musk wanted to do. People will start to think and rethink and rethink. When the negotiations for the funding will arrive, the ground will be ready and people will be used to the idea. Probably, creating a new civilization on Mars is not really his ultimate dream (on Mars really? why not in Siberia? Or in North Dakota – I am kidding I love North Dakota). If he manages to get a first crew there under the flag of SpaceX, he will have written his mark in the sand of history. Anyway, his rhetoric must revolve around the idea of colonization and not of exploration to avoid the major counter-argument of manned spaceflights: the robots! If he wants to send people to explore, his opponents will want to send probes which are probably more efficient for this work. But if he wants to create an interplanetary species, there is nothing to oppose: you touch the heart of mankind as a group of settlers.
Internally, the goal is easier to understand: to create the right spirit at work. You do not work on a rocket that sends communication satellites for whichever investment fund. You are working on an interplanetary crewed spaceship. This makes a huge difference. You are part of the conquest of space. In these conditions you can work 24/24 8 days a week.
To conclude, the presentation makes sense in terms of communication strategy, less in terms of feasibility of the concept. If you are not an insider, you have to believe or not. As an outsider, I believe my instincts and my centers of interest: I find chemical propulsion a bit boring 🙂 I admire these massive and loud engines like these old steam locomotives; they are jewels of engineering. But I am more attracted by electric system and other more exotic phenomena. I believe (! I have no way to demonstrate it yet) that there is a huge amount of energy to tap in and that the proper way to engineer them still has to be found. In addition, with cheaper and cheaper earth to orbit transports, it becomes to test riskier technologies. This will be a funny time!

Name, Rank, and Serial Number: Staying Silent About your Parents
by Joe Kort, MSW ©2006. All rights reserved.
I like to get a sense of new clients' family backgrounds. In the first few weeks, I ask for data—the facts about who is who, what things happened to them in their childhood, and how they happened. We have not said one negative thing about their families, and yet at this point, clients start getting anxious.

Homo for the Holidays
by Joe Kort, MSW ©2004 / revised for 2005
We gays and lesbians are still recovering from the trauma of the recent political elections; the passing of the bans against marriage for gays and lesbians. With the holidays approaching, my clients talk about how they dread the further trauma of going home to their families and not being able to—or feeling able to—be out and open with them about being gay. They call it depression, but I say trauma because it better expresses something emotionally charged and distressing that happens, leaving you nowhere to release and express the emotions.

Generally oxidization involves the reaction of carbohydrates (in this case wort) with oxygen to from water and carbon dioxide. This occurs during Mashing, Sparging and Boiling as the heat present is sufficient to provide the required reaction activation energy. This reaction is undesirable in beer brewing as the sugar is effectively wasted.

Today is day 1 for me with this diet. The two fruits I absolutely don't like are apples and bananas. I love mangos, coconut, grapefruit and an occasional orange. The only way I can bear to eat bananas is with cereal (cheerios), or eating it raw with a little peanut butter or honey. BUT since the rules state that I must it a banana before meals by itself, I will do just that. This is going to be a struggle.

You can use whichever fruit you want so long as you stick to one fruit.

Ios – 50 Shades of Blue
We hadn't planned on going to Ios, but with so much shut in the low season, and it being between Naxos and Santorini, we thought we'd stop by. I'd heard it was a party island…
Once again, being early April, we found ourselves on an island with most places still shut and being some of the only tourists there. Heavenly! We nearly had the island to ourselves.
In the late afternoon, awash with golden light, we hiked amongst ancient stone walls and fields in Skarkos.

This year it's about mixing things up. Changing the way you approach your free time. I've curated a list of ways to get the ball rolling and simplify the process for you. Try turning off the TV and listen to a podcast; camping in a decked out, luxurious Airstream trailor in lieu of a hotel; or listen to an autobiography audio book to put your self in someone else's shoes rather than your normal radio stations. Who knows, this could be life changing!
Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.
"He has explored how ideas spread in the Tipping Point, decision-making in Blink, the roots of success in Outliers, and the advantages of disadvantages in his latest book David and Goliath. In his latest project, Revisionist History, Gladwell examines the way the passage of time changes and enlightens our understanding of the world around us."
Try tuning in to Revisionist History, a podcast from Malcolm Gladwell and Panoply Media. A 10 week series where Malcolm takes an event, a person, or idea, from the past, and reinterprets it.
Inspired by the wanderlust of camping and the great American road trip, AutoCamp is a new type of outdoor lodging experience that's unlike any other. The combination of modern and luxurious Airstream accommodations along with their unique, decked-out properties in California (Santa Barbara and Russian River) create the ultimate outdoor camping experience for both casual and seasoned campers.
These iconic silver bullets are outfitted with queen-size Casper mattresses and soft linens; modern, sleek bathrooms with walk-in showers and vanity sinks; kitchenettes; and a flat-screen TV with cable and built-in sound system. Top-notch toiletries include Malin+Goetz bath products and cozy robes. All that, and gorgeous scenery to boot. Count me in!
The team behind Eastern Safaris: Balloons Over Bagan In Myanmar have now launched an exciting new product in the spectacular Atacama Desert of Northern Chile.

"Theaster Gates: But To Be A Poor Race," Regen Projects, Los Angeles, CA, January 14 – February 25, 2017
"But To Be A Poor Race questions a particular kind of poverty, one that is not just about a lack of economic capital but one that is deprived of the basic elements from which one can make a living," says Gates. For Gates, sculpture – as a derivative of the minor arts, craft, or the decorative and plastic arts – has been an important historical invention. Throughout Gates' artistic career and especially during his time at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, the need for divine acts to have material and human vessels has undergirded his investigations. The exhibition begins to demonstrate Gates' thoughtful handling of sometimes imagined African reliquary objects and other historic Black forms, referencing the power that can be honed from 'poor' materials. But To Be A Poor Race offers a salute to the possibility of power and beauty. "
Gates is internationally renowned for his cross-disciplinary practice that spans sculpture, painting, sound, and performance. Featuring all new works, many of which will be created on site, this exhibition marks the artist's continued investigation into the relationship between visual politics, shamanism, and object making.

"Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this." —Bruce
Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run is not just an explanation of his vast record catalogue, and recalling of his many sojourns while touring the world many times over. While it does delve into those aspects, it is more of a raw, honest and in-depth telling of one's life from an extremely self-aware man who has thought deeply about what his life experiences have meant. Listening to the audio version in my car, narrated by Bruce himself, was akin to having him personally tell me his story as I tooled around the streets of LA. Highly recommended. Thanks Bruce.

A group of young people on an archaeological holiday in Cornwall with the Young Archaeologists' Club (YAC) were astounded to find two previously unrecorded oblong, grave-shaped stone mounds on Minions Moor, part of Bodmin Moor.
Experts have now examined the cairns, which could date from the Bronze Age, and further work will be carried out to identify them when the summer growth of bracken and gorse has died back.

Two keen young archaeologists, Emily Gilchrist and Lewis Golding, made the discovery. The party was lead by retired headmaster and stalwart of the YAC, Tony Blackman.
"Just before we stumbled on the find, one of them even said to me - 'I wonder if we are going to find anything. Just about everything there is to be found here has already been found!"
A few minutes after that, Emily and Lewis, using the observational techniques they'd learnt in YAC, had spotted the mounds on the horizon. Closer inspection by the group raised more questions than answers, and excitement mounted.
"It's all about looking," explained Tony Blackman. "The close look, the far look and the extended look." Blackman has seen many of his young group members go on to become professional archaeologists, "though I do warn them to expect a life of penury if they do!"

"Young people are sharp-eyed and open-minded - key attributes for making interesting new discoveries," said George Lambrick, Director of the Council for British Archaeology. "YAC gives them a hands-on experience of what archaeology is all about - and they can make a real contribution to our knowledge of the past."
So what is a cairn anyway? Cairns survive in relatively large numbers in uplands such as Bodmin Moor. The newly discovered examples may be funerary monuments - covering either single or multiple burials - dating to the Bronze Age (c.2000-700 BC), or alternatively 'clearance cairns' created by prehistoric and later farmers removing stone debris off the land to bring it into cultivation.
Either way, their discovery will help archaeologists gain further insights into the evolving economy, culture and organisation of Bronze Age society. Although Bodmin Moor has been extensively surveyed by archaeologists before, the cairns discovered by YAC had not previously been recognised.
Many of the cairns, field systems, settlement remains, standing stones, stone circles, stone rows and other monuments in this part of Bodmin Moor are protected as nationally important 'Scheduled Monuments'.

The Young Archaeologists' Club, which is run by the Council for British Archaeology, has a UK network of 70 branches and its members regularly make new archaeological discoveries.
"Many of our Branches work in close contact with local archaeologists and the results can be amazing," said Alison Bodley, Co-ordinator of the Club.
"For example our North Downs Branch recently found a previously unknown Iron Age enclosure whilst field-walking near Maidstone. The area was to form part of a country park, and the plans for the design of the park were subsequently altered in order to preserve the site."
Branches of the Young Archaeologists' Club run a programme of varied activities including recording graveyards, excavating sites and preparing museum exhibitions.
Membership costs just £7.50. Call 01904 671417 or click on this link to visit the YAC website in a new window.

The small Swiss-based company Compressport, quite often at the forefront of innovation in terms of compression material, continuously innovates its products, quite often reaching really impressive technological levels.
Known more as a reference brand in running, triathlon and increasingly in Trail Running, currently supporting races such as UTMB, Matterhorn Ultraks, Lavaredo Ultra Trail. Compressport recently launched a whole new, very exciting, trail running collection.
Within its specific range for Trail Running, I present the Trailrunning Postural SS Top. Very advanced and light material is used, special ventilation, and compression in the right areas.
First Impression:
The package and products description cannot go unseen! Really fancy and professional packaging, rarely seen within the sports industry.
The color of the shirt is great, and the design too. The model I have is black with the Compressport logo on the chest in Red and a nice writing on the right sleeve, giving it a very PRO look, that always helps, doesn't it?
As soon as you can touch it and observe it carefully, the first thing you notice is its pleasant touch and differentiated to other shirts from the market, use of differentiated fabrics by zones, thick and perforated wefts together with other lightweight ones with absence of seams, multiple pockets, silicones in exterior and interior, high profile neck and zipper.
- A new lighter fiber, more hydrophobic makes it the most breathable top.
- It does not stick to the skin and conserves a silky feel.
- It is very well ventilated for total freedom of movement.
- An interactive fiber On/Off adjusts ventilation with your effort.
- A lightly compressed postural weave provides excellent spinal alignment.
- Better muscle alignment improves oxygenation.
- Thermoregulatory fibers protect against the cold and the heat.
- The back pocket provides other storage spaces.
- Full autonomy is guaranteed on long-distance races with all your essentials at reach.
- An innovative zip, highly resistant, fluid and self-locking open and closes easily.
What I like:
The breathability of the shirt is something impressive that I have never experienced with any other products, when hot it feels like you are running topless, but when at the top of the peak it keeps you warm and does not make you feel wet.
Back pockets: I really like the positioning of 4 small back pockets, similar to a bike jersey. They are perfect to store the compulsory material for a Skyrace without the need to carry a backpack and more weight. The shirt will not jump up and down while running even with full pockets.

What is stopping the non-taxpayers from filing taxes? Fear of undue scrutiny of assets by tax authorities or sheer lack of commitment to the state?
Every year the government talks about increasing the tax base and bringing more people into the tax net. Those already in the tax net are burdened with more taxes or made to compensate for the losses caused by tax evaders. The imposition of different types of cesses, surcharges, etc, on the documented manufacturing industry is just one example.
The recently announced tax amnesty scheme is yet another bid to increase the tax base.
To achieve this, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has imposed withholding taxes at different rates for filers and non-filers. The rates on non-filers are higher than on filers to discourage those who do not get registered with the tax authorities. So non-filers pay more than the filers when they withdraw cash from bank, pay vehicle token tax, buy a vehicle, transfer property, and so on. The differential in these rates is meant to force them to become filers.
But over the years, various amnesty schemes have not worked the way they should have, and people have remained reluctant to become filers. They have preferred paying withholding taxes at higher rates over filing tax returns and becoming accountable to the FBR.
Is it because people are too scared of tax authorities to get their incomes and earnings documented and scrutinised? Or is the process of filing income tax returns too complex for them? Are the disadvantages of becoming filers a better option to them?
M. Bashir, a chartered accountant working in the banking sector, believes it is the absence of a level-playing field that deters businesses from getting documented. "Both the filers and non-filers are doing business in the market and competing with each other. The filers who sell goods to buyers have to work as withholding tax agents and charge sales tax and advance income tax, etc, whereas the non-filer businesses do not." Therefore, he says, "In the latter case the price is less and the buyers are inclined to buy from non-filers."
Bashir says when people see non-filers having a field day and filers taking the pressure of compliance, they do not opt to file returns. He also rejects the idea of increasing rates of withholding tax, saying, "It is like allowing someone to commit a crime by paying a fee. Those who can afford to pay can get away with it easily," he adds.
He believes that results can be positive only if non-filers are barred from availing facilities like opening bank accounts, buying air-tickets, acquiring passports, etc.
The perspective of taxpayers also needs to be discussed. The case of Ali, a taxpayer, is relevant here. He tells TNS that he thought of becoming a filer but then decided against it later on the friendly advice from businessmen. As the filers are supposed to mention details of their moveable and immovable property, businesses, occupation, main sources of income, other sources of income, foreign sources of income if any, liabilities, receipts, personal expenses, savings, gifts, taxable income etc, he preferred to remain a non-filer.
"If one fails to disclose something, even if inadvertently, and this concealment is detected during the audit of the filer, one can be fined up to 100 per cent of the applicable tax and made to pay extra money for delay in making these payments. The country's tax laws also have provisions to bring up criminal charges but these are hardly invoked," Ali says.
Ahmed Naseer, a tax law practitioner and former office-bearer of Tax Bar Lahore, says the benefits associated with becoming a filer are too few and not even passed on to the filers in most cases. "For example, the filers are eligible to get refunds against advance taxes paid through utility bills, phone bills, etc, but the process is so cumbersome that hardly anybody is facilitated."
Naseer shares his experiences with his clients who he says are too afraid of being chosen for audit through ballot, "As 7.5 per cent of the filers who file tax returns under the Universal Self Assessment Scheme (USAS) are selected for audit, the probability of one being picked up for this purpose is quite high. The extraordinary discretionary powers of the officers doing the audit give nightmares to those who are picked up for this purpose."
He shares there are hundreds of thousands of filers who declare their income less than the minimum threshold just to avail benefits offered to filers and do not contribute at all to the exchequer.
Taxation experts believe it is not very difficult to detect tax evaders but for that they say there should be political will. For example, electricity bills consumed by a manufacturing unit can be a basis to calculate its production and the applicable/avoided taxes. They also challenge the government claim of introducing tax amnesty scheme for widening the tax net, saying it is a bid to bring in money from abroad and avert the looming currency crisis.
Read also: "The failure to implement serious reform has impaired the ability of the FBR to collect revenue fairly"
An official in FBR dispels the impression that there is any intimidation of tax filers, and says, in fact, nobody wants to pay tax. "That is why they pass on the blame to tax collection machinery and paint a bleak picture."
He explains their policy was to increase rates for non-filers, collect their data this way with an intention to broaden the tax base, and once that was done, lower the overall rates across the board. The data is very much there and might be helpful in identifying people with taxable income in the future.
He adds the board is also aware of taxpayers' concerns, and has decided that in order to provide ease and facilitate the tax payers, "case of a taxpayer once selected for audit though ballot shall not be selected for audit for next (consecutive) two tax years."

The Brilliance of being a Pessimist is, you absolutly don't mind being proved wrong by the Universe!
I, for instance, was always proved right…up until now.
Now when it really mattered…
The Scheming Universe proved me wrong for a change!!!!!!!
Thank you Universe…
I guess 'The Alchemist' was right.
If you want something so badly, the entire Universe conspires to get it to you…
And if 2 people want that same something what choice does the Universe have, right?
For now….

From the Battle for the Ia-Drang Valley in 1965 to the final withdrawal from the American Embassy in Saigon in 1975, the helicopter was an integral part of American forces strategy in the Vietnam War. The focus of this study is to view the helicopter as a tool of military strategy, more than a piece of hardware. My thesis is that the helicopter enabled the search-and-destroy war waged by American forces against the North Vietnamese forces. This is part of the overarching theme which we see developing in American military history during the post-WWII era: an over reliance on technology to wage wars, often to the neglect of strategy. This article details the adoption of the helicopter by the US Army, explores how air-mobility played a role in the Vietnam War, and ultimately offers perspective on the relationship between technology and strategy in the modern era.

Perfectionism is the persistence of will in obtaining the optimal quality of spiritual, mental, physical, and material being. The perfectionist does not believe that one can attain a perfect life or state of living. Rather, a perfectionist practices steadfast perseverance in obtaining the best possible life or state of living.
There are no universal parameters of perfection. Individuals and cultures choose those values that, for them, represent the ideal of perfection. For example, one individual may view education as leading perfection, while to another beauty is the highest ideal.
The idea of perfectionism is that there is an unattained but attainable self that one can strive to reach. Perfectionists believe that the ancient question of living as one is supposed to make all the difference in the world, and they describe a commitment in ways that seem, but are not, impossibly demanding. They do so because it is only in keeping such an impossible view in mind that one can strive for one's unattained but attainable self.
Certain properties constitute human nature or are definitive of humanity. They make humans human. A good life develops these properties to a high degree and realizes what is central to human nature. Different versions of the theory may disagree about what the relevant properties are and so disagree about the content of a good life. But they share the foundational idea that what is good, ultimately, is the development of human nature.

Goals of CML Therapy
In the chronic phase of CML the goals of drug therapy are to (1) return the levels of blood cells to normal, and (2) kill all the cells that have BCR-ABL cancer gene.
In accelerated phase or blast crisis phase, the goal of CML drug therapy is to (1) kill all the cells that have the BCR-ABL cancer gene or (2) return the disease to the chronic phase.
Oral CML Therapy
It is important to get treatment in a center where doctors are experienced in the care of CML patients. In chronic phase CML, treatment usually returns the level of blood cells to normal. The spleen shrinks towards normal size and patients do not have infections or unusual bleeding.
CML patients begin treatment with a drug called Gleevec® (Imatinib). This drug has been FDA approved since 2001. For some patients, Gleevec keeps CML under control for as long as they take it. Some patients taking Gleevec have strong side effects or the drug does not work for them. Patients who do not respond to the usual dose of Gleevec may require a higher dose. For other patients there are two newer drugs called Sprycel® (Dasatinib) and Tasigna® (Nilotinib). These drugs also block the BCR-ABL cancer gene. They work in different ways than Gleevec. All three of these drugs are taken by mouth.
Most patients being treated for chronic phase CML can go about their day-to-day activities. With drug treatment most patients are symptom free for very long periods and are said to be in remission.
However, patients are not cured of CML with drug treatment. They need to be checked carefully for any signs that CML is returning (called a relapse). They need regular health check-ups, including blood tests.
CML is likely to return if the drug treatment is stopped. The disease may also return if the drug treatment stops working (this is called drug resistance). There are other drug treatments that may be used for patients who develop resistance to a specific drug.
Some patients have very high white blood cell counts at the time their CML is discovered. This can reduce blood flow to the brain, lungs and other places in the body. Patients can have the white cells removed by a machine in a process called leukapheresis. A drug called hydroxyurea (Hydrea®) may also be used to decrease the white blood cell count. After the white blood cell count drops, then the Gleevec can be started.
Immunotherapy uses the patient's immune system to fight the cancer. Medications like interferon are given to boost the body's natural defenses against cancer. Interferon can reduce the white blood cell count and sometimes decrease the number of cells that have the Ph chromosome. It is given by daily injections under the skin and cases flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, and loss of appetite Over time this drug causes fatigue and memory changes. Once used as a primary treatment for CML, Gleevec is now used first because it is more effective and has fewer side effects.
Bone Marrow (hematopoietic stem cell) Transplant
Bone marrow transplant involves killing the cancer cells and the damaged immune system and replacing it with normal transplanted stem cells from a healthy donor that will grow into and restore the body's blood cells. CML patients may receive an allogeneic transplant – cells from a related or unrelated donor. CML patients cannot use their own stem cells for transplant. The results of transplant are best if the transplant is performed while the patient is in the chronic phase.
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, an SCCA parent organization, in 1998 published the results of a research study that showed that CML patients who received a bone marrow transplant from a tissue-type (HLA) matched unrelated donor could expect about the same five-year survival rate as patients with matched related donors. Since then, Hutchinson Center researchers have led the way in improving the treatment of CML.
Allogeneic stem cell bone marrow transplantation can be a high-risk treatment, but it is the only treatment that can cure CML. Gleevec or other drugs can control CML in many patients for a long time, but transplant is the only way to cure the patient. The time to consider transplant may be when Gleevec is no longer working to control CML or the side effects of the treatment are too great.
To be considered for a bone marrow transplant at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (SCCA), it is best to talk to the pediatric attending physician either in person or by phone. The attending physician can be reached at (206)-288-1024.
Accelerated Phase or Blast Crisis Phase Treatment
The goal in treating accelerated or blast crisis phase CML is to kill all cells that contain the BCR-ABL gene or return the patient's disease to the chronic phase.
Gleevec and for Sprycel (dasatinib) are important treatments for accelerated or blast crisis phase of CML. Stem cell transplant is another important for certain patients.

Brandi Glanville Podcast Recapped by Kit9
Guest: Stylist Sam Saboura
Has styled Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston when they were together(and now he's on Brandi's podcast? Dude.) He's on a reality show where he dresses brides to be. Brandi talks about when she was married and had money and shopped at Fred Segal. She'd stalk the men's section to meet guys(while married?). Sam says many people are now choosing to rent their wedding dresses. Brandi shops at both Neiman's and the Dollar Store. She also likes Zara.
They talk Ariana Grande. Brandi is all excited to see her at some show she's going to later. Sam thinks Ariana is too one note, style wise. Brandi think Ariana looks like a child despite being 21. Sam's fav celeb is SJP. Sam talks about the longevity of his career and superstitiously "touches wood"(Brandi then says what you'd think she'd say).
Brandi brings up Rachel Zoe. Brandi makes a dig about Rachel's age after Sam says he's known her for a thousand years(she's barely older than Brandi, right?). Sam only has good things to say about Rachel. Brandi says that designers don't want to lend their clothes to reality stars(by 'reality stars', she means her. Tampax is on board, though. And, no, the tampon jokes are never going to get old. Ever).
Brandi says Rachel could "eat a sandwich"(between this and the age comment, Brandi's going for some sort of hypocrisy medal). Brandi's producer has some questions for Sam. Who is the best dressed person in Hollywood? J. Lo and Taylor Swift. Brandi likes Taylor's music. Who could use some advice? Sam thinks Mariah could use some style help. So could Julianna Hough.
Brandi presents Sam with a picture of Jon Hamm that she says clearly shows the "outline of his penis and ball sac" and asks his fashion tip to fix the situation. "Underwear". Then Brandi shows him a pic of Kenya and wants to know what he thinks of her outfit. He says, "oh no". Brandi claims that Kenya keeps all the tags on her designer clothes. Sam thinks it's because she wants to be able to return them. He says some good some bad about Kenya's outfit before Brandi calls her the devil.
Brandi wants to know if Brad Pitt has a big penis(tiresome sigh). Sam explains when he worked with Brad, he was so nervous he could barely look him in they eye. Says he has great starpower. Brandi says she saw Brad and Angie once and she had a drink in her(or 12), so she actually went up to them and they were so nice to her. Brandi was with Kyle at the time who was freaking out. Brandi says that Kyle is no longer her friend.
Brandi thinks Jen Aniston has better style than Angie. Brandi wants to know if SJP is the "biggest bitch…we've all heard about"? Sam says absolutely not. Brandi brings up Janice Dickenson. Sam's never dressed her but said he's met her when he worked at the Gap and she used to come in with her kids-which prompts Brandi to exclaim, "you're not allowed to have children!"(joking?). He thinks Janice was cool but completely crazy.
Brandi then asks if Sam thinks Janice was really raped by Bill Cosby . He pleads the 5th. Brandi wonders why the women would be silent for so long(lots of reasons, moron). Then sort of changes tune and says where there's smoke, there's fire. And thinks that Cosby is screwed if he talks and screwed if he doesn't. She thinks Cosby "seems like a woman hater" and that he "might be bad".
Brandi asks what he thinks about the Fashion Police cast who don't have fashion backgrounds. He doesn't think you can really "talk shit" if haven't worked in the industry. Brandi doesn't think they can be called fashion experts if they aren't(like she can't be called a comedian, since she's not, right?). She says she likes the show.
Donald Trump comes up and Brandi says he's "a doll"(a really really orange doll. With a comb over). Brandi says she judges people by how their kids act before praising Trump's kids(in a deft move of completely predictable rich person azz kissing). They play a really dumb game of marry, shag, kill which I'll spare you. Brandi then asks if Sam is a "bottom or a top". I should have spared you that. Sorry.


text: iamval 79 Report post Posted October 14, 2018 Set up specs: Neck relief: .004 Action at 12th: Around 5/64 L - 3½/64 H (reads roughly around .70 L .40 H or 1.50mm L .75 H on my metric ruler) Hardware faults: none Cosmetic faults: a kind of red dye had bled onto the white binding and discoloured it in some areas but apparently this is a normal and common issue with Gibson finishes. The richlite fingerboard resembled a chalked up blackboard which detracted from the instrument's beauty. Upon opening the case for the first time I was initially disappointed with the guitars appearance on account of the cosmetic faults I've mentioned above. I wasn't expecting a brand new guitar to look this way. Fortunately, the red stains wiped away with the right product and the binding returned to normal again. It's now perfect. As for the aforementioned chalkiness, it vanished with a small application of lemon oil and it never returned again. The fingerboard now looks wonderful and the beautiful mother of pearl inlays glimmer like stars. In short, it didn't take long for me to make the guitar look as good as it does in the product pictures. However, ultimately I was more concerned about how it would play and feel and sound. After a quick cleaning I changed the strings to a brand I prefer and then I set it up to the way I like a SG to feel in my hands. The original neck relief was around .002 with absolutely no buzzing anywhere. Even when I thrashed the strings really hard it still didn't buzz. However it felt a little too tight for me so I adjusted the truss rod just a little to suit my tastes. .004 is just about right for me and then it felt perfect. The strings feel nice and slinky. Bends don't choke out and its playability is truly astonishing. I can't even begin to describe how playable this guitar is. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before. It's comfortable, it's slick, it's ridiculously fast and it's incredibly responsive. Unlike my other Gibson SG Custom (a vintage) this one remains perfectly in tune no matter what I do and it has no intonation issues anywhere. So they've done an excellent job in terms of this instrument's construction. It's just rock solid. Chords ring out and resound wonderfully with excellent sustain. All of my guitars have ebony fingerboards so I wasn't expecting much from richlite. I wouldn't say it's an adequate successor to ebony, even if it's a good emulation of it. But it isn't as bad as people are saying. Not in my opinion anyway. I read some terrible things about richlite before trying it for myself and I hated the sight of it at first... but clean away that chalkiness with some oil and it looks no different really. Tonally it's a tad bit brighter than ebony but I think that's nothing a bit of EQ can't sort out. I wouldn't say I'm a richlite convert or anything, I still prefer ebony. The only issue I had with it was the chalky appearance and that can be fixed in 5 seconds. The 498T bridge pickup is fantastic. I love it!!! I read horrible things about this too so I was expecting it to suck but I love it. It sounds amazing. It's so crunchy. It's perfect for what I do, hard rock and metal so I'm gonna keep it. It pushes the tubes in my amp so well. I'm so happy with it. The neck pickup isn't my cup of tea though. It has a flabby, kind of dead sound I strongly dislike and it doesn't work well with the bridge pick up at all in my opinion. But to each their own. This was definitely a good investment. I've owned this guitar for several days now and I can't put it down. Some people are claiming that it's a glorified SG Standard. It isn't. Unlike the SG Standard this one has a long neck tenon and several other constructional differences which set it apart from that model. It also has higher quality materials in it and it was manufactured in a completely different way. It doesn't feel or play or sound anything like the SG Standard I own, the only thing it has in common with that model is similarity in body shape. Outside of that, it's 100% a Gibson Custom guitar all the way. I give it 5/5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, 'Global Cement' is 20 years old. The fore-runner of this magazine - Asian Cement and Construction Materials Magazine - was first published in January 1997. The magazine was later amalgamated with other titles to become GCL: Global Cement and Lime Magazine and finally became simply Global Cement Magazine in October 2006. The original magazine was created in an attic on a computer with a then-huge memory of 1Gb. Each issue took up 500Mb of space, and so had to be separately archived each month, to make room for the next month's issue. We used huge SyQuest disk drives to send data to the printer. We scanned in real photographs using a scanner that cost around Euro/$/£3000 - something you could buy now for less than £300. When that first issue was published, I was a young man of 29, with a full head of hair, and was yet to meet my wife.
Looking through that first issue (pictured right) is like flying through time. In that first issue - January 1997 - only three advertisers had an email address on their ad - and only two had a web site (H.W. Carlsen and Dome Technology). All the ads had a telephone and fax number on them - and many still had Telex numbers as well. (If you are too young to have heard of 'telex,' you can look it up on the internet). The fact that you could start a business relationship with someone on the basis of calling them up on the telephone now seems quaint, but that is the way they used to do it.
Many of the companies that appear in that magazine are still with us - Heko, KHD, Köppern, Loesche, Magotteaux, Siemens, Venti Oelde - and some are not, or at least not with the same names: they have been subsumed into other companies and renamed - although the people remain the same. The technology back then would be familiar to anyone working at a cement plant today - things have not moved quickly. Some of the themes that appeared in the news in that first issue are oddly familiar - 'North Korea isolated, desperate for trade;' 'Woes befall ACC;' 'Hopes rise in Japan.' One headline, 'Foreign firms eye Asian market,' foretells the feeding frenzy that took place once the Asian Crisis took hold (only six months after that first issue of Asian Cement Magazine), when cement factories and companies became desperately cheap for western multinationals that were - back then - flush with cash (or credit, at least). China was still buying equipment - even cement plants - from western companies.
Absent from the magazine is any mention of global warming or greenhouse gases. There is no mention of alternative fuels. The Euro was some years in the future (in terms of notes and coins). Some people, not many, had mobile phones (the size and weight of a brick).
Now almost everyone has a smart phone (a powerful internet-connected hand-sized computer/camera that can also make telephone calls). The internet is ubiquitous and is changing or undermining almost all established processes and industries (think news, taxis, dating, TV, estate agency, crime, activism, knowledge, gambling, shopping, education, work, democracy, etc, etc). Fortunately for all of us, cement cannot be made on or distributed via the internet (yet).
This issue of Global Cement Magazine reflects today's pre-occupations - with alternative fuels, reducing the clinker factor, emissions trading, environmental performance and increased cost-efficiency (that, at least, will never change - the bean-counters will always ultimately be in charge). China is in the ascendant - selling cement and equipment to the rest of the world. Now I'm 49 with no hair, but with two daughters who are mostly grown up and thinking about leaving home (them, not me).
What will Global Cement be writing about in January 2037? My guess is that any doubts about anthropogenic global warming will have been laid to rest - one way or another. The cement industry may be in the front line of assaults on CO2-producing industries and the focus will still be on reducing the clinker factor - using slag, fly-ash, activated ultra-fine limestone, rice husk ash and anything else that the industry can get its hand on that works. By 2037 everyone will be using AF - everyone.
I think though that when people look back on 2017 from 2037, they will say that we were sleepwalking into trouble. The chances of China having a massive financial crash are already high - and increasing. When the Chinese Crash happens, it will not be a happy sight. The US owes around US$20trn and that's set to go up a lot under Mr Trump. Can it increase forever? It cannot. Finally, the same people that made billions betting against sub-prime mortgages are now betting that the Euro will fail. The Euro Crash will make Brexit look like a tea party.
In 2037, when I'll be 69 (hopefully still fit and a doting grandfather), Global Cement Magazine will be 40 years old. From being one of the youngest people at our cement conferences, I will be one of the oldest. Still, in 20 years time, an age of 69 will be considered youthful. I look forward to coming to work on my anti-gravity hover board. Here's to another 20 years!

A person who fights the cases of the people injured in an accident is known as a personal injury attorney. It is his job to provide evidence in the court which proves that his client was injured by the carelessness of others. He then asks the court that his client is to be compensated for his injuries. This compensation is going to come from the person who was responsible for the accident. The compensation is usually in the form of money so that the person can pay off the expenses of his treatment.
Finding a good personal injury attorney is a must for people who have encountered an accident and do not have any idea about how they can claim compensation in court. The party that has to defend the case is usually going to blame the victim for not being careful so that they do not have to bear all the expenses of the victim's treatment. A person that is not well versed in court proceedings is not going to be able to prove to the court that he was innocent. It is thus necessary that an accident victim consults a personal injury lawyer for the purpose of fighting his case in the court.click site
There are many law firms that offer their service to the accident victims for taking up their cases. However, all of them do not have the best interest of the victim at hand. A victim needs to be very choosy in his quest to find a personal injury attorney. The possible ways in which a person can find a suitable attorney to fight his personal injury case are
1) Ask friends to suggest the name of an attorney that has a reputed name in fighting monetary compensation cases.
2) Surf the internet to find out about attorneys that are capable of fighting a personal injury case.
3) Contact the bar association of your city and ask them to suggest an attorney that is good enough to handle your case.
The initial consultation is free of cost and does not require any fees to be paid to the attorney. It is therefore, necessary that the victim consults as many lawyers as he wants until he finds one that he thinks has the capability to win his case. The personal injury attorney is usually going to first study the case before agreeing to take up your case. He will then determine whether it is going to be beneficial for the victim to fight the case or not. After being hired the attorney is going to file a case in the court on the behalf of the complainant.
The majority of the personal injury lawyers do not charge any fee if they end up losing the case. The fee is charged only in the case of a victory. Also the lawyers bear the charges of the court proceedings until the case is decided. After the case is won and the victim is compensated then the personal injury attorney is going to ask for his dues which is usually 15% of the compensated amount paid to the victim.

The Antin lab studies lineage diversification and morphogenesis in the chicken embryo.
Our lab studies the function and evolution of multipotency and gene regulatory networks in indirectly developing sea urchins and polychaetes
The Arur Lab studies germ cell development and developmental signaling events underlying co-ordinated progression of oogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
research is focused on embryonic skin development and spans the developmental period of dermal cell induction including adult patterning of skin. There is relatively little known about the genetic and cellular events that lead to the acquisition of dermal identity. Our goal is to identify the genetic pathways that confer dermal cell identity which subsequently drives the development of various skin appendages such as hair follicles. We are currently using transgenic mice and conditional mouse mutants to address questions of dermal cell origin and signaling requirements for dermal cell development.
Uses the zebrafish model system to study axon guidance, axon-glial interactions, and the regulation of neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation. Created the "Biology Web Conferences" as an online resource of recorded video conferences between undergraduate students and the principle investigators behind the much of the current and seminal research in the field of developmental Biology.
The Barsi Lab aims to explain the mechanism by which genomic information is translated into anatomical structure. At its core, we study transcriptional control mechanisms. Experiments are directed at all levels of biological organization, ranging from transcription-factor DNA interactions that control spatial & temporal gene expression, up to a systems-level analysis of large regulatory networks. For our studies, we develop marine invertebrates into model organisms and exploit third-generation sequencing to decipher the transcriptional cis-regulatory code.
Focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that lead to the formation of the mammalian body plan, the genesis of tissues and organs during embryogenesis and the pathology of developmental defects.
We use a combination of genetics, live cell imaging and large-scale transcriptional approaches to understand the interplay of asymmetric cell divisions, cell-cell communication and environmental inputs in the generation of cell fate and pattern in the plant epidermis.
Internationally known for establishing the plasticity of the differentiated state. Dr. Blau's elegant heterokaryon experiments proved that silent muscle genes could be activated in diverse specialized adult cells. Recently she showed that adult bone-marrow-derived stem cells are similarly plastic. Her innovative approaches have profoundly impacted biology and medicine.
The Brown lab wishes to understand the molecular mechanisms and genetic pathways regulating mammalian lens and retina development.
We are interested in organ morphogenesis and patterning. We are specifically focused on left-right patterning and the role of Nodal signaling in this process. Additionally we are interested in understanding how cilia function in development, both in left-right patterning and in kidney cyst formation.
Research interests include middle ear induction and patterning, the role of Fgfs in inner ear patterning and tail organiser function in avians.
Development of the cardiovascular system of zebrafish, with a particluar interest in angiogenesis and vascular integrity
The Chitnis lab studies how interactions between cells during early development lead to the self-organization of a functional nervous system in zebrafish. The laboratory uses a combination of cellular, molecular and genetic tools to identify genetic regulatory networks that direct early development in the nervous system. We also build computational models to understand how interactions identified through biological experiments lead to the emergence of patterned development. Current projects are directed toward understanding the genetic regulatory networks that coordinate cell fate and morphogenesis during development of the zebrafish hindbrain and the lateral line system.
The Clements laboratory uses zebrafish to investigate two major questions: What are the molecular and cellular components of the developmental specification niche for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)? How are normal signaling pathways co-opted during malignant transformation to induce cellular proliferation and migration—desirable processes when building an organism that can cause disease when activated in adult life?
Our research on sea urchin embryogenesis seeks to define genomic and cell physiological regulatory systems that control cell proliferation, differentiation, and the developmental specification of cell fate.
We use genetics and time-lapse imaging in zebrafish to study the three-dimensional patterning of the vertebrate head skeleton. In addition, we are interested in the origins of the skeletogenic neural crest and their role in tissue regeneration.
We study cell lineage specification and embry-maternal signaling in the laboratory opossum, /Mondelphis domestica/.

Hi Mrs Warren,
I am Alexander and I am eight years old. Tomorrow I am saying "Sounds Like Magic" which you wrote, at the Portadown speech festival. I have been working really hard at it and I think I will do very well. My brother (Jan) is only three and he makes up his own verses for the poem.
It is a brilliant poem and I really love it.
From Alexander.

Dear Celia,
I am a Primary School teacher and next week we are going to be looking at poetry about the sea. I was wondering if you could tell me please what inspired you to write 'Why are my tears so salty?' I would like to share the poem with the children and it would be fantastic if you could share with us a little more about the poem.
Kind regards,
Sarah Smith

Dear Celia….we are Year 3 children from Holdbrook Primary School. We have been writing our own poems and hope one day that we could publish them. Your poems are really good and funny. Could you answer some questions for us?
When did you first start writing poems?
What inspired you to write poetry?
How many books of poetry have you written?
How do you get time to write so many poems?
Do you want one of your poems to be made into a short play?
June 15, 2015 15,06,15
Thank you for finding the time to reply. The answers were interesting because we are not poets yet…..but some of us might be in the future. We watched your poem, Cold Morning. We thought Naomi Bennett had excellent animation skills. The poem was sad but we still enjoyed listening and watching it being performed. Thank you once again for your response.

As humans, we have built dwellings and infrastructure for millennia, always innovating our approach to the materials and techniques with which we create and augment our physical spaces. Wood and stone make way for steel and concrete - materials which can be precisely manufactured to withstand the stress and strain that both we and the environment place on them. Fine-tuning these substances has allowed us to build increasingly lofty glass and metal structures that appear weightless despite their enormity.
These structures, standing tall with such straight-forward materials, are what inspire this corset dress. The details of construction are quite literally clear, and the most prominent visual aspect of the piece is the functionality of the materials that comprise it. All ornamentation is rejected, in favor of displaying the qualities of the steel and "glass". It is not just a matter of revering the elements of the whole, but also the human mastery of those elements individually.
There is value in deconstructing and focusing on the components of any garment or building.
By stripping away the embellishments, we can truly appreciate the structure.
The list of components that comprise this corset dress is quite short: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), spiral steels, size 00 grommets, and polyester thread. Not only are the materials minimal, but merely looking at the garment tells one everything they could wonder about the construction of it.
A single layer of transparent 20 gauge PVC makes up the entire body of corset dress, with the exception of the two layers that constitute the hindmost panels. Each stitch is 2.5mm long and made in a single run through the sewing machine, with the cream-colored thread being secured by hand-stitching at either end of the seam.
The entirely visible spiral steel bones are sealed into a channel created by the seam allowances between each panel. Due to the tackiness of the PVC, these bones were sewn into place, versus being slipped into the channels afterward.
Unlike most woven or knitted fabrics, PVC does not self-heal from pin pricks or needle marks. Ripping out seams and restitching, lockstitching, and backstitching can all create a weak point along the seamline. Therefore, I had only one real chance to get each stitch right. While unforgiving, this aspect of the material also encouraged me to pay even more attention to my stitching than usual, and to accept the little aberrations in my seams and simply move on.
The true joy of taking part in this competition is the discovery of new skills and fascinations along the way.

I was startled to read, in the 6th edition of a well-known textbook, McCormick on Evidence, that the "reasonable doubt" formula "points to what we are really concerned with, the state of the jury's mind," whereas "preponderance of the evidence" and "clear and convincing evidence" "divert attention to the evidence." This has things exactly backwards: As the "reasonable" in "beyond a reasonable doubt" signals, the evidence, and whether it is strong enough, is precisely what the fact-finder should be attending to (and a juror who is absolutely certain the defendant is guilty—but not because of the admissible evidence presented at trial but because of something he learned outside the courtroom, or because of evidence that was presented at trial but that the court instructed the jury to disregard—has an obligation to vote to acquit nonetheless). Legal degrees of proof are not degrees of credence; they are degrees of rational credibility or warrant.

American weddings are full of traditions. Examples: 1.) If the groom catches a glimpse of the bride on the day of their marriage – especially if she's wearing her gown – it's bad luck. 2.) The bride is supposed to wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. 3.) At the reception, the best man should offer the first toast to the newlyweds.
And one for mothers of boys: 4.) The groom's mother
should wear beige and keep her mouth shut.
Russian couples have traditions, too. One in
particular sure was new to me.
During a recent cruise from St. Petersburg to
Moscow, our tour group chanced upon this peculiar tradition five or six times.
As we approached a point of interest, a bride and groom, dressed in their wedding finery, were posing for photos in front a statue or monument. Most of the couples had the entire wedding party in tow, and they also took turns having their pictures taken.
St. Petersburg's colorful palaces, various statues of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, elaborate fountains, war memorials and onion-domed churches all over Russia serve as backgrounds for photos in wedding albums.
Apparently, it goes like this: After the formal
wedding ceremony-- the bride and groom, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, the flowergirls and ring bearers – all pile into rented limousines. The limos are lavishly decked out with floral arrangements and oversized replicas of entwined gold wedding bands or doves or hearts. The names of the bride and groom are painted on the sides of the limo. Ribbons and balloons are attached to door handles and antennas.
The whole wedding gang rockets around the city
where they stop three or four times to pile out, and arrange themselves in front of landmarks that have special meaning for the newlyweds.
In Uglich, one of the oldest cities in the upper
Volga basin, we paused to admire a bride and groom as they staged a romantic scene for their videographer. They were on a raised platform for what I guess was a World War II monument. I couldn't read the inscription on the base of the memorial, which of course was in Russian, but it featured the profile of a fairly modern-looking soldier and the numbers 1945.
The bride stood on one side of an open area
between two monuments, the groom on the other. They ran toward each other, arms outstretched, and embraced for the video camera. Their friends cheered and clapped. Then the rest of the bridal party joined them for the usual wedding photo lineups.
In St. Petersburg, on a Saturday afternoon, a
queue of limousines formed as several wedding parties waited their turns. One couple posed for photos, then beckoned to a man in a tuxedo, who ran across the grass and wedged himself between them. He opened a small box and released a pair of white doves. More cheering and clapping.
I imagine the vodka was flowing freely inside
the limos. In truth, vodka was everywhere. Russians are extremely proud of their national drink and most restaurants and bars offer dozens of varieties and
brands. Vodka tastings were common. We even had a chance to tour a vodka museum in the city of Uglich.
It started to rain one day as we witnessed one
of these wedding tableaux. As the next limo pulled forward, the doors flipped open, the bride and her entourage trooped out – oblivious to the rain. A kindly groomsman waved a huge black umbrella above the bride, but she ignored it and loped across the pavement beside her groom. The hem of her long white skirt with its three tiers of poufy ruffles dragged through puddles and wet grass. The bride's hair drooped and her bouquet sagged, but the whole gang joined the newlyweds, posed, smiled, cheered, then trooped back to the limo and headed for the next post-wedding photo op.
After we witnessed this ritual three or four times, it didn't seem nearly as odd as it did at first. It was rather charming. Everyone involved seemed to be having great fun.
Maybe the vodka helped.
Stay tuned for more about my recent trip to Russia. This blog is updated every two weeks. Or not.
