Delivery versus payment
Delivery versus Payment
A settlement procedure in which the buyer and the seller of a security agree that the seller will pay the buyer upon the security's delivery to the seller. This agreement is designed to reduce risk to both parties: if the delivery and payment do not occur at the same time there is a risk, however small, of theft by one party or the other. It is more commonly known as cash on delivery.
delivery versus payment (DVP)
A settlement procedure in which a customer instructs that he or she will make immediate payment upon delivery of the purchased security. Also called cash on delivery. Compare receive versus payment.

Netflix today brings us six more standalone tales from Charlie Brooker's deliciously paranoid brain. Black Mirror is back, tackling topics including social media, video games, online hate and, erm, Nordic Noir.
Social media has played a heavy part in all of the Black Mirror films, but the first film of the new season, Nosedive, is the most explicitly social media-focused one yet. Starring Jurassic World's Bryce Dallas Howard, it takes place in a near-future world where the entire social hierarchy is built around the likes you have received online. Want to get that promotion at work? You'd better have an average rating of at least four stars. The episode takes our modern day drive for Likes to the next level.
What with people literally dying to get the perfect selfie, you might be forgiven for thinking that the reality of social media is already like something out of a bleak speculative fiction movie. But is social media really as damaging to our psyches as the media – and Black Mirror – would have us believe? We spoke to two leading cyber-psychologists to find out.
Social media offers a unique opportunity to reinvent yourself. But, as Dr Chris Fullwood of the University of Wolverhampton tells us, most people present an online self that's much the same as their offline self. "[F]or most people I think [social media is] more about a discovery of the true self or working towards an ideal self, a person they would like to be rather that someone they're trying to portray."
Dr Fullwood, a psychologist who specialises in online impression management, stresses that this creation of an idealised self pre-dates the internet by quite some way. Social media psychologist Dr Ciarán McMahon agrees. "There's always going to be a certain amount of discrepancy between how we see ourselves and how we actually are to ourselves... a slight discrepancy between those two images is fairly normal, a wide discrepancy is a little bit more problematic. Social media has simply made that distinction between the idealised self and the real self an awful lot easier to see."
And that's one of the things that the media loves to obsess over – just what damage is this gap between the idealised online self and the flawed real self doing to the poor, innocent psyches of young people? Well, not as much as you might think. Experimentation with identity is a normal part of growing up, and social media just makes it more visible. Dr Fullwood explains, "People who have a more autonomous personality, they might be quite happy to present a version of themselves online that's very consistent with their offline self because they're content with who they are. Whereas somebody who might be more sociotropic and reliant on other people to inform their sense of self, they might be more inclined to want to consider what other people are doing, to 'keep up with the Joneses'... and incorporate that into self-presentation tactics."
As in the Nosedive episode of Black Mirror, the online world is full of people who are simply more perfect than you – or at least appear to be. A certain element of competitiveness can creep in, especially because, as Dr McMahon points out, social media "makes people into their own publicist... And so it does mean that some people are going to succeed on social media simply by dint of the fact that they're good at publicising themselves and other people aren't."
But the sheer number of people and opinions on social media can help to shape people's personalities. "You might see the online world or online platforms as being a tool that people might use to try out different types of identity, different types of self expression," Dr Fullwood says, "and the reactions that they get to those different types of self-expression tend to be incorporated ultimately into their self concept. So if they try out a version of themselves and it's really received approvingly by other individuals, then that would make sense that that would then be incorporated into your own self concept." So could social media create a generation of people-pleasers, like Bryce Dallas Howard's Lacie in Nosedive? Or is it no different to people trying to find their best-fit personality in the offline world?
The problem with allowing social media to affect your sense of self is that we users simply don't understand the algorithms that power it. We don't understand why one post gets tonnes of likes one day, and a similar post is utterly ignored the next day. "[Y]ou now have absolutely no idea how many people are going to see your content, which means you're going to get a completely random feedback," Dr McMahon says. "It's like a slot machine psychology, you're going to keep pulling the lever... once the feedback is random then people will keep clicking the button. And that means you don't know how it works so you keep submitting it, you keep putting things up, but it can be frustrating because you don't know how it works."
(Which sounds an awful lot like the offline world too...)
But for both Dr Fullwood and Dr McMahon, their overwhelming feeling towards social media is a positive one. It enables you to find your own peer group of people going through similar experiences to you, it allows you to experiment with your identity in a relatively safe environment and it helps you pin down the ideal version of yourself that you're striving towards.
As for the presentation of social media as a dangerous, unregulated space – a presentation that Black Mirror side-steps, but which plenty of media embraces – Dr McMahon thinks that social media is simply "exposing and amplifying problems that already exists. Our problems around gender and around race haven't simply re-emerged because social media was invented – they just never went away."
Both cyber-psychologists agree that social media companies need to take responsibility for abuses that take place on their platforms, and that there is still a long way to go in terms of regulating that. But, on the whole, they think social media gets a bad rep. "To be honest an awful lot of the time the conversations that you see in newspapers and on television about social media, they're conversations which are incredibly out of date," Dr Mc Mahon says. "I hate to be ageist, but when I see middle-aged people talking about social media I think for the most part they're completely out of touch with what is actually happening, and what is realistic for young people who are using social media."
Black Mirror doesn't fall into the trap of viewing social media as evil, but it does look at what constantly having to publicise yourself online can do to a person. Charlie Brooker has taken a step back from his own use of social media, presumably for the same reason. Perhaps Nosedive is a very personal rant for him, and it dips into an emerging field of psychology. It looks like season three is going to be just as uncomfortably close to the bone as the first two seasons.
But hopefully not as prescient as that whole pig-gate thing.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday visited the disputed Ram Janmabhoomi site and and also inspected a probable location near Saryu river for a planned statue of Lord Ram.
Faizabad BJP president Awadhesh Pandey told PTI thatAdityanath first visited Hanuman Garhi, and then the Ram Janmabhoomi.
After offering prayers at the disputed site, Adityanath announced that a "grand statue" of Lord Ram would be built in Ayodhya and that his government has shortlisted some possible sites for it, reported The Indian Express.
"Yogiji also inspected a site near Saryu river for a planned statue of Lord Ram there. He later went to Gorakhpur where he met children of a tribal village and attended a programme there," Pandey said.
He added that one of the probable sites is a patch of land between the Ram Ghat Halt and railway bridge on Saryu, which Yogi inspected.
"People come to Ayodhya for darshan (viewing) and smaran (remembering) of Lord Ram, and the statue will fulfil that purpose," Adityanath was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
Regarding the Ram temple in Ayodhya, The Indian Express report quoted Adityanath as saying, "We all know that all Ayodhya has is this temple. People come here to worship Lord Ram and no one else."
"You all know there is already a temple in Ayodhya. Mandir tha, hai aur rahega (the temple was there, is there and will continue to be there). All options are open, but the solution will conform to law and Constitution," he was quoted as saying by CNN-News18.
This comes after the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced that Faizabad district would henceforth be known as Ayodhya.
"Ayodhya is a symbol of our 'aan, baan aur shaan' (honour, pride and prestige)," Adityanath had said, while also announcing the setting up of a new airport in Ayodhya named after Lord Ram and a medical college in the name of king Dashrath, father of Lord Ram, in the district.

Thermaltake Golden Orb II
Thermaltakes Golden Orb II - The Run Down
AMD Installation
As we alluded to earlier, installing the Thermaltake Golden Orb II is extremely simple with an AMD based motherboard. As our pictures show, installing to a Socket 939 based motherboard doesn't get any easier and in most cases will not require motherboard removal.
With our ECS test system, all we had to do was remove the mounting base and then apply two threaded stand-offs. Once tightened in place, we applied the thermal grease and secured the Golden Orb II into position. The screws on the cooler have stops on their shaft, applying just the right amount of tension while making over tightening a non-issue.
Once we powered on the sytem, the fan came to life with a blue LED glow that wasn't overly obnoxious, while giving an extra touch of class to an already impressive looking cooler.
Intel Installation
Installation on an Intel based motherboard was a bit more involved and will require the removal of the motherboard to complete. After the board is removed, the mounting brackets need to be attached to the mainboard with the four screws provided. Special attention needs to be paid to their orientation, otherwise the capacitors and mosfets may get in the way. Once proper orientation is selected, simply attach the brackets, apply thermal grease and mount the cooler.
Installation on the Intel platform is certainly not as convenient as with AMD's application. Furthermore, we think the process could be improved so that it would not require removal of the motherboard. Perhaps Thermaltake could borrow from the tension clips used on today's stock Pentium coolers, which lock into place by pressing on them. We suspect, however, that the weight of the Golden Orb II is the defining reason for the screw mount application of for the Intel platform.

The milestone, which was reached last night, underlines Twitter's meteoric growth and increasing popular appeal. In November 2008, it broke the billion tweets mark, and reached five billion tweets last November.
However, Twitter users have been unable to identify who sent the 10 billionth tweet, as it came from someone with a "protected" profile, meaning their messages cannot be viewed by the general public.
News that the milestone had been reached came from Gigatweet, the site that keeps a real-time record of all the Twitter messages sent. It is estimated that if Twitter continues growing at its current rate, the 20 billionth tweet will be sent some time in July.
The microblogging service is proving increasingly popular among web users, and London is the city with the highest number of Twitter users in the world. Celebrities and sportsmen, including Stephen Fry, Ashton Kutcher and Steven Gerrard are all members of the "twitterati", and a growing number of companies are using the platform to promote their brands.
But according to a recent survey by Virgin Media Business, only 16 of the UK's biggest 100 listed companies are using Twitter to engage with customers. Around 57 of these FTSE 100 companies had signed up to the service, but 72 per cent had not actively used their account to respond to customer enquiries or comments.
Twitter recently revealed that users are sending around 600 tweets every second, which equates to more than 50 million tweets per day. One in five tweets now includes a reference to a product, brand or service.
Despite its rapid growth, Twitter still falls far behind activity on rival social sites. Facebook users spend eight billion minutes on the site per day, which YouTube serves up a million videos per day.

Therapists want statutory registration
Sep 24 2008
Currently in the UK, as in Ireland, it is possible for anyone to call themselves a counsellor or therapist, even if they have no training or have been previously been disciplined for poor practice. Government regulation of the profession seems to be the best way forward.
More than 5,000 counsellors and psychotherapists have called on the Government to introduce statutory registration for their profession without delay.
It is currently possible for anyone to call themselves counsellors or psychotherapists without the required training and competence and there is no redress board or sanctions for complaints against them.
Furthermore, there is no way to prevent practitioners who have been disciplined by their accrediting body from continuing to practice.
Recommendations for the statutory training and regulation of counselling and psychotherapy were presented by the Psychological Therapies Forum, an umbrella group representing psychological therapists, to Junior Health Minister, John Maloney.

Late last week, I came across a fascinating argument from Thomas Oatley, a political science professor at UNC Chapel Hill. Oatley suggests that the borrowing to fund the Iraq War actually caused the financial crisis. Basically, the borrowing increased our current account deficit, which made the whole system unstable, and in 2008, it finally collapsed.
Now consider the Iraqi case. The sharp increase of military spending sparked by 9/11 and Iraq followed a massive tax cut (and coincidentally, we had a massive tax cut in 1964). Like Vietnam, therefore, the US borrowed to pay for the War on Terror. If the Vietnam War experience is any guide, this budget deficit must have had consequences for US macroeconomic and financial performance. The deficit was larger and persisted for longer than the Vietnam case. I argue that the choice to finance the War on Terror by borrowing rather than by raising taxes worsened the US external imbalance and the resulting "capital flow bonanza" triggered the US credit boom. The credit boom generated the asset bubble the deflation of which generated the great global crisis from which we are still recovering. Obviously, it takes a lot of heavy lifting to get from the war-related budget deficit to the global financial and economic crisis. (That's why I am writing a book. I will begin posting chapters in the next week or so here if you are interested).
Regulatory considerations and the global savings glut may be important conditioning factors. But, the more I research this the more I conclude that these factors are less important than most of us believe. Hence my decision to compare the case to the Vietnam War experience and to the Carter-Reagan buildup sparked by Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. This was financed in the same way as the other two (budget deficits) and had the same economic consequences (housing bubble and the savings and loan crisis) as the War on Terror buildup.
So, I would argue that Operation Iraqi Freedom had a huge affect on the international system: it generated the largest economic and financial crisis the world has experienced since 1929. This massive shock continues to ripple through the global economy four years later, as the EU's current efforts to resolve the banking crisis in Cyprus demonstrate.
It's an intriguing thesis. Superficially, the timing looks good: spending on Iraq starts ramping up in 2004, about when the housing bubble is really gathering steam. And our capital account is certainly swelling around that time, as the US runs a persistent, ever-larger trade deficit.
To put that in plain English, we were borrowing money we didn't have to spend on stuff we couldn't afford. Including houses.
But when I start thinking about the mechanics of this, my brain starts swimming. This would be a very compelling account of the crisis we thought we were going to have--the one that Nouriel Roubini kept predicting, where our huge current account deficits touched off a currency crisis, followed by a budget crisis and a massive capital outflow.
Unfortunately, that's nearly the opposite of the crisis we actually had--and hey, I'm as surprised as anyone. But that leaves us with a big question about the Oakley theory. How does US government borrowing to fund the Iraq War cause such an enormous, destructive crisis? The spending wasn't even that big as a percentage of GDP:
It was bigger as a percentage of the deficit. But it still wasn't anything like a majority of the deficit in the relevant timeframe.
And a word about that timeframe. I think any account of the financial crisis has to link it to the expansion of the housing bubble. Even if you think that the housing bubble was symptom, rather than cause, the timing needs to work for the symptom. And I don't see it.
We normally think of the housing bubble as having begun sometime in 2004, but in fact, bubbles are years in the baking. I was writing about a potential housing bubble back in 2002. I might have been prematurely anti-bubble . . . but if you look at the Case-Shiller home price index, you see that indeed, there's a pretty clear inflection point in 2002. By 2006, the bubble has peaked. In 2007, it is busily collapsing.
Pretty obviously, this does not work with the Iraq War theory; the housing bubble seems to start too early, and deflate just as Iraq War borrowing is really ramping up. And spending on Afghanistan in the 2001-2 fiscal years simply isn't high enough to have had much effect on anything; as well to blame farm subsidies.
Nor am I clear on the model. How does war borrowing cause foreigners to lend a lot of money into our housing markets? One story is that all the new defense spending gets plowed into housing as defense contractors and military personnel use the bonanza to buy homes. But I'm not sure I see it in Case Shiller. "On a coast" seems like a much better predictor than "near a big military base or defense contractor". And you need a hell of a multiplier to translate a stimulus of less than a percentage point of GDP into the roaring boom and bust of the middle-aughties.
Another story is that once Asian investors discover US debt, they start pouring their money into all kinds of US debt, including the housing market. But the timing doesn't look so great for this story, either. Does a long-running war in the Middle East really make an oil-dependent nation a more attractive place to invest?
America's trade deficit did start to roar in 2003. But it had been increasing pretty steadily for a long time. And if you graph the Iraq War spending against our trade deficit, the parallels are pretty underwhelming.
The opposite story seems more compelling: there's a secular increase in demand for US debt over the decade between 1996-2006, and that demand allows us to cheaply finance our war. It also drives credit markets to unsustainable levels. In this telling, borrowing to fund the Iraq War actually dampens down the housing bubble, possibly preventing it from being even worse than it was.
One reason this story is more compelling: it explains what happened outside the US. I can maybe, sort of, tell a story where US war spending sparks a housing bubble. I can't tell a story where Britain, Spain, and Australia also experience housing bubbles around the same time.
Of course, these are just my initial thoughts, while Thomas Oatley is writing a whole book about it. I'm sure that these criticisms and more have all occurred to him, and that he will answer them in his book. I look forward to reading it.

Flexible solutions
This Central Illinois industrial distributor will soon celebrate 100 years of serving customers
by Rich Vurva
|This early Black & Co. catalog dates to the 1930s, when the company sold hardware, paints, coatings, varnishes and industrial supplies. The company was founded in 1920 when Roy M. Black, great-grandfather to current managing director Tommy Black, made a handshake deal to purchase Gebhart Hardware in Decatur, Illinois.
If the best testament to business success is longevity, Black & Company is a true winner. In business for nearly 100 years, the Central Illinois industrial distributor prides itself on providing top-notch customer service. This fourth-generation, family-owned company has navigated through the myriad changes that have taken place in the economic landscape over the years and is poised for continued growth.
Company founder Roy M. Black, great-grandfather to current managing director Tommy Black, started the business when he made a handshake deal to purchase Gebhart Hardware in Decatur, Illinois, in 1920. The 25-year-old former railroad employee who grew up on a farm in London, Kentucky, knew that hardware was in great demand by farmers, so he took a chance on buying the business.
Located in the industrialized city of Decatur, Black quickly realized his company's products were needed in the nearby factories also, so he expanded into selling industrial supplies.
"Over that first generation with Roy at the helm, he grew the business from a single branch in Decatur to five branches throughout the state of Illinois," Tommy Black says. "I always give my great-grandfather the credit with being the true entrepreneur of the family. We have been fortunate to have a solid company throughout the generations. Our values haven't really changed over the course of our history."
|Warehouse employee Don Matejowsky hands a product for an order to Terry Clennon.
Now marketing itself as Black & Company Industrial & Safety, it operates seven locations in Illinois and Indiana, serving customers in a broad range of industries. They include general industry and manufacturing, agriculture, food processing, commercial construction, heavy equipment manufacturing and assembly, pharmaceuticals, mining, automotive, government and defense, healthcare and municipalities.
Decatur is still considered the headquarters because that's where the business began, but much of the management functions are now based in Champaign, Illinois.
The company is divided into three business units. The largest and oldest focuses on maintenance, repair, operations and production (MROP), followed by units dedicated to metalworking and safety.
"The expertise we have in those three verticals is invaluable to our customers. It gives them the ability to reduce their number of supply chain partners, streamline procurement processes and increase their through-put, ultimately driving procurement and operational efficiencies, ending in cost savings," Black says.
The current service offering has expanded over the years to meet evolving customer requirements. Programs include on-site integrated supply services, vendor-managed inventory, industrial vending solutions, comprehensive in-plant risk and safety assessments, inspections, calibrations and repairs of a wide variety of gas instrumentation, tool repair programs and fall protection inspections and servicing of equipment.
"Each branch tends to customize product mix and services depending upon the local customers they serve," explains Steven Galetti, industrial sales manager. "The Indianapolis market has a much more diverse customer base compared to the Champaign branch, which is more focused on manufacturing."
|Black & Company's management team includes (left to right) Val Roberts, branch manager of the Springfield location; Tommy Black, managing director; Tom McCoy, head of the safety business unit; and Steven Galetti, industrial sales manager.
Serving the customer often requires asking a series of questions in order to tailor a solution to fit their needs. Where are your problems? What process are you trying to improve? Where are your bottlenecks?
"Part of our value proposition is to be flexible with each customer," says Galetti. "If you really want to help a customer, you must understand what they're trying to accomplish in order to bring in the appropriate manufacturers and solutions."
While he prefers not to divulge sales figures for the family-owned business, Black says the company had its best year ever in 2017. One reason for the success is a team of longstanding employees, with an average tenure of 20 years.
"Our team is experienced in unconditionally making the customer's interest our best interest. In many ways that is what differentiates us from some of our competitors. Unparalleled customer satisfaction has always been the key to our success and, like any longstanding organization, the ultimate differentiating factor that we possess is our team," he says.
|Team members Stacey Guthrie and Randy Jones are among the staff at Black & Company's Champaign location.
Documented cost savings
In 2017, through a variety of efforts including vending and other vendor-managed inventory programs, plant surveys and process improvement programs, Black & Company documented more than $500,000 in cost savings for customers.
"Where customers have multiple sites throughout our region, we've been able to standardize the product mix, further adding to the cost savings component. So, product standardization has been another driver of our value to customers," Black says.
Customers who request vending options in a variety of configurations such as lockers or who want more tracking capabilities may opt for CribMaster's ToolCrib solution. Those who just want a simple, cost-effective way to dispense products where all an employee needs to do is punch in a code to select a pair of gloves, for example, may choose the SnapVend coil machine.
"We try to sit down with the customer to understand what they're hoping to accomplish and then outline options available to fit that need," explains Tom McCoy, who heads up the company's safety business unit.
The vending solutions reduce waste and standardize product availability. In the case of personal protective equipment, it also ensures that workers are using the correct product to provide the protection needed on the job.
"Instead of a lot of people throughout the plant purchasing what they want, the safety department has the ability to drive what product is best for the employees for protection, fit and function," says McCoy.
A recently launched initiative called Zero in on Safety 2018 was developed to assist customers with zero lost time incidents in 2018. This should raise awareness among staff and customers about the importance of equipping end users with proper PPE and the practice of sound incident prevention and safety habits in the industrial workplace.
Plant surveys, such as ladder inspections or fall protection surveys, are another way to uncover opportunities to benefit customers. The services are provided at no charge with the understanding that the customer will order products from Black & Company if the survey reveals problem areas.
Sometimes, customers may ask for help in analyzing a production process.
"They may come to us and say, 'Are we using the proper sanders? Is there something better that we can be doing to speed up our production process? We're spending 15 seconds on this process. Can we cut it to seven?'" explains Galetti.
Galetti describes one instance where an automotive industry account needed help cleaning paint splatter from a part coming out of a painting operation. Overspray left excess paint on the part and operators used an abrasive to remove the paint, slowing production.
"We brought in a chemist from a chemical manufacturer to look at the process. It took us several months of testing before we finally formulated a cleaner that they could spray on the part, wait about five seconds, and then wipe off the paint. We were able to change a process that used to take about a minute to a minute and a half and cut it down to about 20 seconds," Galetti says.
Mobile Tool Crib
Virtually every manufacturing facility schedules planned downtime at least once or twice a year for re-tooling or to perform routine maintenance and repairs on production lines. To ensure that one customer would never run out of the supplies it needed for an upcoming shutdown, Black & Company recently created a mobile tool crib. A box truck fitted with shelving, inventory and a point-of-sale area will remain on site for the duration of the planned shutdown so plant employees and contractors will have easy access to the supplies needed for the project. When required, another delivery vehicle will travel to the site to replenish the mobile tool crib.
"It's really a consignment program because we're taking the inventory to them but they don't pay for it until they pull it out of the truck," explains Black.
The first mobile tool crib launched in April was a pilot program, but it's likely that it will be expanded to other customers.
"Our plan is that this will save them downtime from running six miles down the road to pick up a piece of safety equipment or something else they may need," says Val Roberts, branch manager at the Springfield branch.
An added benefit for Black & Company is that the vehicle sits in a prominent spot on the customer's property for weeks at a time, providing valuable advertising visibility.
Odds for success of the mobile tool crib, like other programs the company offers, greatly improve when Black & Company works closely with customers to make sure the effort meets their unique needs. Nearly 100 years of history has proved that the more flexible the solution, the better chance for success.

Chocolate chips and banana are a tantalizing combination in this easy to make cake recipe that is perfect for a get together or time alone.
Had friends coming over with teenage boys so needed a quick solution. Was super easy and everyone loved it. A moist and slightly heavy cake so very filling. - 16 May 2010
Okay, so I made some changes after reading all the other reviews, and with these changes, this cake is amazing!!! Here are the changes I made: 1 cup white sugar, 2 large bananas, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips, used baking SODA instead of baking powder, and sprinkled powdered sugar on top after it cooled. Baked at 350 for 40 minutes in an 8x8 pan. Everything else was the same as the original recipe. The cake came out super moist, thick (not thin), and tasted delicious. I will definitely be making this again!! - 21 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I did not read the reviews before I made this, so my "cake" did turn out a little thin, HOWEVER, this is a really good, quick dessert. I was invited for dinner and wanted to bring something. Everyone seemed to like this. Changes I made: I used two large bananas, which equaled about 1 1/2 -2 cups mashed bananas. I used one full cup of sugar because usually banana bread isn't sweet enough. I added about one teaspoon of vanilla. I also used about two handfuls of milk chocolate chips. I don't like the semi-sweet. I had no complaints and the chips really gave a good twist to regular banana bread. With the additions, it was plenty sweet and very, very moist. I had to bake it the full 35 minutes, almost 40 minutes, due to the additions. As a rule, I always set my timer about ten minutes early because you never know about your particular oven. - 10 Jul 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Two things I enjoy studying are people and words. When I can study them in connection with each other, it's even better. I like to think about how people use words – what they are actually saying and what they really mean. For example – in our language these days, people tend to use the words "envious" and "jealous" interchangeably.
This is one of my pet peeves.
Because, the truth is, these words are not the same. Sure, they have some similarities. But they are not identical. Language (and the proper use of it) is important to me, and I don't want someone to say something he doesn't mean simply because he doesn't know what the true meaning of the word is. And I hate for that to happen to me, too.
(Sometimes people don't understand my passion for words…but that's a story for a different time.)
People who are jealous are concerned mainly with those things they have or perceive as belonging to them. A jealous person is careful to protect what he has and wary of anyone he believes to be a rival. In relationships, someone who is jealous will not tolerate any disloyalty.
Envy pertains more to the way we look at other people. If someone else has something I want, I can grow envious of that person. An individual who is envious perceives that someone else has something good and instead of being happy for that person, begrudges that he doesn't have that same good thing (or something better).
Rarely do I hear anyone use the word "envy" – usually people are talking about envy but use the word "jealousy." Over and over in the Bible, envy is portrayed as a bad thing, something Christians are to stay away from, something that causes major problems. We should not be focused so much on what other people have. God is looking out for us and giving us what is best for us. It isn't necessarily wrong to wish for something, but envy is stronger than wishing – it is malice toward an person. This is never a healthy or good thing.
Jealousy usually carries a negative connotation when people talk about it today. However, as you can see from the definition, jealousy isn't a bad thing in and of itself. In fact, the Bible says in many places God is a jealous God. God does not sin, so jealousy is not a sin.
Just as with anything else, how we deal with our thoughts and our emotions will reveal our hearts. If I am jealous of something (meaning I have it and don't want to lose it), I must be careful not to let that become consuming. I can be protective of something I own without allowing it to take precedence in my life and become an idol, something I place above God in importance. That IS a sin.
I readily admit I am a jealous person when it comes to people. I am jealous of my friends – I don't want them to leave and especially don't want someone else to steal them away. There isn't anything wrong with that. But when this jealousy affects my trust in God and causes me to become controlling and put my friends in a place of higher importance than God, that is a major problem and something I must guard against.
What are your thoughts? Are you a jealous person? An envious person?

Using the National football league operating like a pass-happy, score numerous of touchdowns league, not have secondary people been essential.
Alabama's Mark Barron head lines the somewhat shallow sounding safeties within the 2012 National football league draft class like a guy that many likely has a first-round grade for many teams.
He's an imposing strong safety who certainly makes his presence felt when he's arranged within the box. Although he isn't extremely impressive in coverage, he's crafty, and is capable of doing making large plays during coverage.
You will find a couple of other intriguing safeties that, although most likely selected on Day 2 or Day 3 from the draft, will patch together solid careers in the professional ranks.

New York Times features Firehouse StrategiesJune 7, 2016
The New York Times' Jim Rutenberg features Firehouse Strategies in his Mediator column:
"She is fighting a conventional war and he is fighting an asymmetrical war, and I don't think that bodes well for her," said Terry Sullivan, a Republican strategist. Mr. Sullivan has a unique perspective on the question, as the former manager of Senator Marco Rubio's vanquished presidential campaign.
Mr. Sullivan; the former Rubio communications adviser Alex Conant; and a lawyer for Mr. Rubio, Will Holley, had reached out to me to discuss their new consulting firm, Firehouse Strategies. It's based on the premise that Mr. Trump has rewritten the rules of modern communications strategy, and candidates and corporations need to take heed.
The primary lesson: "The solution is always more content, not less," Mr. Sullivan said.
The Rubio strategists learned this firsthand during the Republican primaries. Every time they got their hopes up that some new forest fire would incinerate Mr. Trump's candidacy, he seemed to douse it by pumping out programming for the always-flowing cable and internet news stream.
So, if news of violent protests at Trump events appeared to be threatening his campaign, Mr. Trump could force the discussion into a debate over whether one of his protesters was affiliated with ISIS. (He wasn't.) And remember how he overwhelmed news of Gov. Nikki Haley's endorsement of Mr. Rubio ahead of South Carolina's primary by engaging in a fight with the pope?
Mr. Trump's willingness to say just about anything, and his merry courting of trouble, was an eye-opening break from the traditional, tightly scripted approach of keeping candidates away from trouble.
More important, it made the news all about Mr. Trump, blocking his opponents' attempts to break through with carefully planned policy speeches, classic endorsement announcements and 30-second commercials. What's 30 seconds here or there in a constantly churning, 24-hour Trump marathon?
What Mr. Trump realized, and Mrs. Clinton should too, Mr. Conant said, is that "there's just a steady flow of information, and if you don't try to provide the content, your opponents or your critics will."
Yet Mr. Rubio's former advisers acknowledged that trying to out-Trump Mr. Trump can prove fatal. Their candidate all but imploded after he tried to match his opponent insult for insult, claiming that Mr. Trump had small hands, which in turn indicated that he had a small — do I really need to finish the analogy?
Their point is that modern candidates do not need to light their "hair on fire, and keep it on fire," as Mr. Trump does. "You just need to deliver more content," Mr. Sullivan said.

There's a baby Bam in the oven.
One of our favorite Love & Hip Hop Atlanta couples are expecting a baby. After a few weeks of speculation, Bambi put rumors to rest when she confirmed to TheShadeRoom that she is 20 weeks pregnant. Rumors first started flying when Waka Flocka congratulated the LHHATL star under a family photo.
Bambi reportedly wanted to keep the early stages of her pregnancy secret because she suffered a miscarriage before.
Check out her small baby bump, below:

Congrats to #Bambi and #Scrappy from #LHHATL. Earlier this week we posted the news that #Bambi was preggers and it's true! The couple revealed to us that they are expecting their first child together. Bambi is currently 20 weeks, but doesn't know the gender just yet. _____________________________________ She wanted to wait to announce her pregnancy after experiencing a miscarriage in the past. She just wanted to be safe prior to announcing because they were both so hurt by the miscarriage. _____________________________________ We send our love to both #Bambi and #Scrappy as they expand their family. ❤

The pits have provided me with most of my motor racing photo opportunities and I enjoy the atmosphere of the pits and the paddock as much as anything else in motor racing.Sadly the opportunities to access the pits or even the paddock at most top and medium level race meetings are very limited nowadays.Even at the recent Porsche Rennsport Australia some the Porsche Carrera Cup teams erected sight screens to prevent spectators looking into their pits.What precious nonsense.Some of those teams are so far up themselves that they can see daylight.
Anyway one pit and one paddock shot from less restricted times.Both photos by the author.

Dr. Bagley is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA.
Aneurysms and their risks, diagnosis, and management are controversial topics at the beginning of the 21st century. This article reviews the epidemiology of aneurysms, the roles of computed tomography (CT), CT angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MR angiography (MRA), and conventional angiography in the imaging of aneurysms, and current surgical and endovascular therapy.
Aneurysms are estimated to occur in approximately 2% to 6% of the population (based upon autopsy and angiographic studies). 1-5 They occur more commonly in women and more frequently in association with polycystic kidney disease, connective tissue disorders (including Marfan's syndrome and Ehrles-Danlos syndrome), moya-moya syndrome, aortic coarctation, Takayasu's arteritis, neurofilar dysplasia (FMD). 6-9 There is also an increased incidence of aneurysms in patients with ≥2 first-degree relatives who have had aneurysms. In patients with such a positive family history, aneurysms are often multiple and relatively larger, are more often located along the middle cerebral artery, and have a tendency to rupture earlier in life. 10,11
Congenital developmental aneurysms may be saccular or fusiform. Saccular aneurysms typically arise at vascular branch points, often arise from congenital areas of weakness in the arterial wall and enlarge over time, and usually do not present until adulthood 12 (Figure 1). Fusiform aneurysms more frequently occur in older patients, are generally secondary to atherosclerosis, and may develop intraluminal thrombus 9 (Figure 2). Cigarette smoking and, to a lesser extent, hypertension (as well as female gender) likely contribute to formation and growth of both saccular and fusiform aneurysms. 13-16
Traumatic, infectious, and neoplastic aneurysms are less common, together accounting for <10% of intracranial aneurysms. Traumatic aneurysms (approximately 1% of intracranial aneurysms) are often distal and most often result from penetrating trauma, adjacent fractures, or impact of the vessel with the falx cerebri or tentorium cerebelli (Figure 3). 6,9,17 Dissecting aneurysms contain a component of the native vessel wall but result from intimal disruption. 12 They are more likely to occur in patients with FMD, connective tissue disorders, polyarteritis nodosa, and syphilis. 8,9,12,18 Infectious and neoplastic aneurysms result from direct invasion and destruction of the arterial wall. Infectious aneurysms may be seen in the setting of endocarditis, meningitis, and thrombophlebitis. Typical causative organisms are Streptococcus viridans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus flavus (Figure 4). 6,9,12,18-20 Neoplastic aneurysms are most often seen with atrial myxomas and metastatic choriocarcinoma. 6,9,12
Serpentine aneurysms are rare partially thrombosed giant aneurysms, with separate inflow and outflow channels. The residual lumen of a serpentine aneurysm is made up of channels formed within the thrombus, not the true lumen of the parent vessel. Flow within these channels is typically sluggish, and the outflow channel supplies normal cerebral vasculature. More than 50% of such aneurysms arise from the middle cerebral artery. Repeated localized hemorrhage, formation of organized thrombus, and calcification are characteristic of these aneurysms. On cross-sectional imaging studies, these aneurysms may mimic neoplasms, appearing as heterogeneous, partially enhancing masses. Also, symptoms often mimic those of neoplasms because of local mass effects (producing sensory and motor deficits and/or seizures) and are occasionally secondary to intracranial hemorrhage. 12,21-24
Aneurysms may also be seen in association with arteriovenous malformations (Figure 5). When superselective angiography has been performed, their incidence has been reported to exceed 50%. These aneurysms are typically flow-related, may be present along feeding pedicles or within the nidus, and may enlarge or regress with alterations in the hemodynamics of the arteriovenous malformation. 25,26
Approximately 15% to 45% of aneurysms are multiple, and their most common locations are along the anterior communicating artery complex, along the supraclinoid internal carotid artery, at the middle cerebral artery bifurcation, at the basilar artery tip, and at the origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. 27
Risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Many studies published prior to the 1990s suggested that aneurysms carried an approximately 1% to 2% chance of rupture per year. 28-30 This belief has since been challenged by multiple studies of unruptured aneurysms, most notably, the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA), which published data on a large cohort in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1998 31 and in The Lancet in 2003. 32 Among 4060 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms, 1692 were observed with a total of 6544 patient years of follow-up. The studies concluded that the risk of aneurysm rupture was dependent on aneurysm size, location, and prior history of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). 31,32 In the more recent study, aneurysms were categorized by the following locations-cavernous internal carotid artery, anterior circulation, and posterior circulation (including the posterior communicating artery origin) and by the following sizes: <7 mm, 7 to 12 mm, 13 to 24 mm, and >24 mm. Patients with a prior history of SAH were determined to be at greater risk of incurring another SAH, but risk did not correlate with aneurysm size. 31,32 In this study, in patients without a prior history of SAH, no observed aneurysms measuring <7 mm in the anterior circulation ruptured. Posterior circulation aneurysms were associated with a higher risk of rupture than were anterior circulation aneurysms, and cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysms, as expected, were associated with minimal risk. However, giant aneurysms, particularly those in the posterior circulation, were associated with high risk of rupture of up to 10% per year. 31,32
While ISUIA has provided valuable information on the natural history of intracranial aneurysms and has certainly influenced the management of these lesions, this study has multiple limitations. First, there is a selection bias in this study. More than half of the patients presenting received surgical or endovascular therapy for their unruptured aneurysms. In general, patients with aneurysms considered at low risk of rupture and patients judged to be at high risk for intervention by the evaluating clinician were followed. The inclusion of cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysms in this study is also controversial. Truly cavernous aneurysms are not within the subarachnoid space, though it is possible for larger aneurysms to thin and breach the integrity of the dura, thus allowing extension into the subarachnoid space. Even so, no subarachnoid hemorrhages were observed secondary to cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysms that measured <13 mm. The inclusion of posterior communicating artery origin aneurysms with posterior circulation aneurysms also conflicts with earlier studies.
Imaging of aneurysms
Catheter angiography
While the risk of aneurysmal SAH is a controversial topic, strategies for the diagnosis and management of aneurysms are even more controversial.
Catheter angiography (using multiple projections, high-resolution subtracted images, and rapid filming techniques) has long been the gold standard for aneurysm diagnosis. More recently, rotational angiography has provided 3-dimensional (3D) data and is increasingly becoming part of the standard evaluation of the intracranial vasculature. However, catheter angiography has associated risks, including those of allergic contrast reaction, nephrotoxicity, hemorrhage, infection, and vascular injuries, including dissections, occlusions, and arteriovenous fistulae. The risk of transient neurologic deficits has been reported to be 1% to 3%, with a risk of permanent deficits of 33-38 Risk increases with advanced patient age, the presence of atherosclerosis, and other concurrent diseases. Risk of the procedure is inversely proportional to the experience of the angiographer.
CT angiography
Increasingly, CTA has been used for the evaluation of aneurysms and of patients with intracranial hemorrhage (Figure 6). CT angiography is performed on multidetector CT scanners, during the dynamic administration of approximately 80 to 100 mL of contrast (at approximately 4 mL/second) and is typically reconstructed at 0.5 to 0.7 mm intervals in the axial plane. Two-dimensional (2D) and 3D reformatted images are then created, often utilizing maximum-intensity projection (MIP) and volume-rendering (VR) techniques. Many studies have reported sensitivities of up to and exceeding 95% for CTA and MRA in the detection of aneurysms >3 mm in size. 39-41 Like MRA, the sensitivity of CTA for the detection of aneurysms <2 mm in size is poor. CT angiography may certainly play a role in aneurysm screening, particularly in patients with contraindications to MRA, though the utility and cost-effectiveness of screening are also controversial topics. CT angiography provides valuable information about complex aneurysms and often complements conventional 2D angiography by better defining the relationship of the aneurysm to the parent and branch vessels, by delineating its relationship to the skull base and by demonstrating thrombosed portions of the aneurysm.
CT angiography has become the initial vascular imaging modality of choice for SAH in multiple institutions. 42-44 Clinicians at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted a prospective trial of CTA as the sole pretreatment imaging modality for aneurysms. In this study, 223 patients were evaluated, and treatment (surgical or endovascular) was initiated based on only CTA in 82% of patients. 43 When patients require urgent hematoma evacuation, CTA is most time-efficient and is the imaging modality of choice.
CT angiography also has a role-though, again, a controversial one-in the evaluation in perimesencephalic hemorrhage (Figure 45,46 Rinkel et al 45 have suggested that CTA is cost-effective as the sole imaging modality in perimesencephalic hemorrhage, which is most often nonaneurysmal and possibly secondary to venous or capillary hemorrhage. In this entity, blood is seen only anterior to the brainstem, in the ambient cisterns, and in the basal sylvian fissures without lateral sylvian fissure or interhemispheric blood. Hemorrhage typically rapidly resolves, and patients most often have an uncomplicated course without development of vasospasm or rebleeding. Angiographic imaging is, however, required to exclude a basilar tip aneurysm (approximately 9% of which present with a similar hemorrhage pattern). 47 Rinkel 45 and Kershenovich 46 have argued that CTA is sufficient to do this.
There are, however, limitations of CTA, including decreased sensitivity for detection of aneurysms measuring <3 mm, relatively poor demonstration of perforators, and decreased sensitivity for detection of arteriovenous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistulas, and vasculitis. Additionally, sensitivity of CTA is dependent on the training of the interpreter, and upon the postprocessing techniques employed. 39,40,42
MR angiography
As above, MRA, typically employing the 3D time-of-flght technique, performed at high field strength (≥1.5T) with image segmentation, is reported to be approximately 95% sensitive for detecting aneurysms measuring at least 3 mm (Figure 8). 41 It does not require the administration of contrast material or the use of ionizing radiation, and, as such, can play a role in aneurysm screening and aneurysm imaging in patients with contraindications to contrast administration. MR angiographic images are, however, subject to degradation by multiple artifacts, and visualization of the distal vasculature and small perforators is suboptimal and inferior to CTA. 41,48 Despite these current limitations, with increased usage of higher field strength systems (3T and 7T), the role of MRA in aneurysm evaluation is likely to increase as image resolution improves and acquisition times decrease.
Aneurysm therapy
Treatment strategies for aneurysms remain very controversial. Surgical therapy continues to be used widely, although multiple recent studies have challenged previously held beliefs about its associated risks and efficacy. Postoperative angiograms have been reported to reveal unexpected vascular occlusions in up to 12% of cases and incomplete aneurysm obliteration in 4% to 18% of cases in various series. 49 Intraoperative angiography may be used to allow more timely clip repositioning, and the results of intraoperative angiography have been reported to alter surgical management in 15% to 30% of cases. 50-56 This technique has been shown to be clearly cost-effective in cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. 55 While some authors advocate its use only in select elective cases, Klopfenstein et al 56 have shown that surgeons are generally unable to predict its utility.
Meta-analysis of earlier studies suggested that elective aneurysm surgery was accompanied by a morbidity of approximately 4% and mortality of approximately 1%. 57 Based upon these assumptions and the possibly flawed assumption that aneurysms rupture at a rate of approximately 1% to 2% per year, King et al 58 concluded that microsurgical repair of an unruptured aneurysm was cost-effective if the patient had a life expectancy of at least 13 years and if the patient's quality of life suffered because of the negative psychological impact of knowledge of the aneurysm. Data obtained from the ISUIA, however, suggests that the complication rate of elective aneurysm surgery, particularly in older patients, is much higher than had been previously reported. In the ISUIA study, the 1-year morbidity and mortality for elective procedures was 12.2% for surgical repair and 9.5% for endovascular therapy (not controlled for comorbidities). Surgical complication rates correlated with patient age, with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality in patients older than 50 years and an even more dramatic increase in patients older than 60 years. In fact, in patients older than 64 years, surgical complication rates exceeded 30%. 32 Based on this data concerning aneurysm rupture rates and expected morbidity and mortality of treatment, some authors have concluded that there is no benefit for therapy of unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms <7 mm or in patients with life expectancy <15 to 35 years. 59
Aneurysm therapy has significantly evolved since the introduction of detachable embolization coils in the 1990s (Figure 9). Endovascular therapy continues to evolve with the introduction of multiple new coils, intracranial stents, and bioactive materials. As such, the risks and efficacy of endovascular treatments have continued to change. During the last 2 decades, the number of aneurysms treated with endovascular techniques has dramatically increased. Approximately 80% to 85% of aneurysms are amenable to coil embolization, but when first introduced, endovascular therapy was often reserved for aneurysms in surgically unfavorable locations or of unfavorable configurations and for patients in poor clinical condition, who were deemed to be poor surgical risks. 60-64 These factors produced significant bias when attempting to compare outcomes of endovascular and surgical therapy. The international subarachnoid aneurysm trial (ISAT) published in Lancet in 2002 60 and 2005 61 compared the outcomes of patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms judged to be amenable to both forms of therapy. Among 2143 patients who were en-rolled, 1070 underwent craniotomy and microsurgical repair and 1073 were randomized to endovascular therapy. Outcomes were assessed at 2 months and at 1 year. Among the 1063 treated with coils, 250 patients (23.5%) were dependent (eg, required assistance with activities of daily living) or were deceased at 1 year versus 326 (30.9%) of the 1055 treated surgically. 60 Follow-up angiography revealed incomplete aneurysm obliteration in 34% of aneurysms treated with coil embolization and in 18% of those treated surgically. Some incompletely occluded aneurysms will require retreatment, though indications for and the risks of this remain somewhat unclear. A slight increased risk of rebleeding was noted in aneurysms that had been treated with coil embolization. However, a persistent survival benefit at 7 years was noted in the group who received endovascular therapy. 61 Surgical treatment was associated with a risk of development of epilepsy. Further studies must be undertaken to assess longer term survival and to assess cognitive outcomes in the 2 groups.
Morbidity and mortality rates associated with endovascular aneurysm therapy have been reported to be 4% to 10% in most large series. Complications have included intracranial hemorrhage secondary to vascular perforation, infarction, and coil compaction and/or migration. Thromboembolic complications may be immediate or delayed, and ischemic sequelae may be minimized by the use of thrombolysis. Additionally, postprocedural use of antiplatelet agents and/or anticoagulation may reduce the incidence of these thromboembolic phenomena. 60-70 Coil compaction may lead to recanalization of the aneurysm, and coil migration may lead to vascular occlusion with resultant ischemia (Figure 10). Contraindications to coil embolization include origination of branch vessels from the aneurysm, the presence of an associated intraparenchymal hematoma requiring surgical evacuation, and parent vessel stenosis (though this may be treated beforehand). The presence of a wide neck has previously been viewed as a relative contraindication due to the relatively lower success rates of aneurysm obliteration and due to the risk of coil prolapse into the parent vessel. 70 However, these issues have become less significant with more widespread use of adjuvant techniques, particularly deployment of intracranial stents (Figure 71,72 and many aneurysms with wide necks are now treated with endovascular techniques. Despite the improved results cited above, many aneurysms will recanalize. Up to 15% to 30% of totally or subtotally embolized aneurysms will demonstrate recanalization, and approximately 5% of aneurysms will require retreatment. 67-70 As such, careful follow-up is mandatory. The gold standard of follow-up continues to be conventional angiography. However, 3D time-of-flight MRA, 3D gadolinium-enhanced MRA, and MRA at 3T have in some cases demonstrated increased sensitivity for detection of flow within the coil interstices. 73-75
Although stents were, in general, intended to be utilized in conjunction with coils, in some cases they have been used as the sole treatment for certain aneurysms, particularly intra- and extracranially for treatment of dissecting aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms and intracranially for treatment of fusiform aneurysms. 76 Successful occlusion of aneurysms treated in this way likely results from interference of inflow into the aneurysm with subsequent stagnation of flow, thrombosis, fibrosis, and the development of a neointima around the wire mesh.
Despite advances in technology, there are aneurysms that are not amenable to coil embolization, stent placement, or microsurgical repair, and these are best treated with parent vessel occlusion (Figure 12). This is typically performed with coils, though detachable balloons have been used in the past. When feasible, temporary arterial occlusion testing is performed prior to vessel sacrifice. This is typically performed with a nondetachable balloon catheter while the patient is systemically anticoagulated and receiving conscious sedation. Frequent neurologic examinations are performed, and the procedure is immediately terminated if a deficit develops. 77-80 Many adjuvant techniques, including measurement of stump pressures, 81,82 induced hypotension, 83,84 single photon emission tomography (SPECT), 85-89 perfusion imaging, 90-92 xenon CT, 93-95 cerebral blood flow measurements, 96 transcranial Doppler examinations, 97 electroencephalography (EEG), 98-100 and monitoring of somatosensory-evoked potentials 101,102 have been described in attempts to increase the sensitivity of this procedure for the detection of ischemia. Patients who cannot tolerate the test occlusion will require a revascularization procedure prior to parent vessel sacrifice.
The topic of cerebral aneurysms is likely to remain controversial. A number of recent studies have significantly altered many preexisting beliefs about the risks associated with aneurysms and have better stratified those risks based upon specific aneurysm characteristics. Increasingly noninvasive imaging modalities have been used for aneurysm evaluation, and their role is likely to increase with increased utilization of higher field-strength MR and multidetector CT. Rapid technologic advances in the endovascular therapy of aneurysms have made many more aneurysms amenable to catheter-based therapies and have improved the success rates of these therapies.

I've kept UP with the murder of Jonathon Ferrell..BLACK/24 years old/Worked TWO jobs to put himself through college/Shot DEAD 10 times by a Charlotte police officer in September 2013…Former FAMU student/football had recently transferred schools to be near his fiancé in Charlotte..Shot 10 TIMES by Officer Kerrick after being in a car accident & walking to a near by home for help..Sound familiar??? Yesterday the grand jury decided NOT to indict officer Randall Kerrick..Ferrell had NO weapon & Officer Kerrick claims he was assaulted by UNKNOWN means..The Attorney General's office is re-submitting the voluntary manslaughter charges..The family of Jonathon Ferrell is 'skeptical" about getting justice..I don't blame them! It is target season on Black males in America! I thought long and hard about writing a piece on this, to vent out how I feel about it..Then I ran across a piece by another mother(& a lawyer) that says it ALL & far better than I'm capable of doing..It is highly personal to me..Last year I called all 3 of my Black sons; and begged them NOT to wear a hoodie! THAT IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS; but its true. And I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm ashamed this is OUR reality in America. I'm dropping the link for the piece Shanikka wrote for The Kos..She wrote it 2 years ago & the senseless, race-incited murders(& NO justice..) are still happening..Until more people stand UP & let it be known this isn't right; it won't end.

UC Irvine's Center for Asian Studies hosted "Intellectuals and the Nation in China and India," a public roundtable on the history of nationalism and scholarship last Friday that focused on the two most populous and high profile developing countries, China and India.
The roundtable was held in conjunction with the UCI International Center for Writing and Translation's "The China Beat," a UCI-based blog.
Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a history professor who specializes in modern Chinese history, noted in his introduction that 2009 marks the anniversaries of numerous relevant events in the history of China and India. He joked, "If only India had waited two more years to declare independence, they could also be celebrating their 60th anniversary this year." The panel members were then invited to comment on any of these anniversaries.
UCI's Vinayak Chaturvedi, an associate history professor, chose to speak about 1909, the year that the two most influential texts on Indian independence, Mohandas Gandhi's "Hind Swaraj" ("Indian Home Rule") and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar's "1857 – The First War of Independence," were published.
"[The two works] lay the foundation for 20th-century Indian nationalism," Chaturvedi said.
However, Chaturvedi also mentioned that they present diametrically opposite visions of Indian nationalism. In fact, each of the two works was written in response to the other. Gandhi envisioned Indian nationalism as a rejection of the West and the materialist values the West embodied. It was not an ethnically or even religiously based nationalism. Ultimately, Chatuverdi continued, though Gandhi is popularly known as the father of India, his ideas have not been adopted, especially among the ruling class. On the other hand, Savarkar, who was the mastermind behind Gandhi's assassination, laid the foundations of modern Hindu nationalism.
The next speaker, Wang Chaohua, who served as a student leader during the Tiananmen uprising, is currently a doctoral candidate at UCLA. She focused on the implication of China's rapid economic growth for democracy. She called 1989 a unique year in history, when the rulers were disoriented as to which way to go. She also noted that this was a peak for when students and intellectuals could make a change in the country.
Professor Perry Link also spoke about China. A literature professor at UC Riverside, Link focused on the evolution of language. Chinese intellectuals, in the spirit of nationalism, tried to create a common language that would be accessible to the common man. Unfortunately, they were not successful. Perry cites one academic who wrote a treatise on common language in the highly stylized language of traditional Chinese scholarship.
The last panelist, Pankaj Mishra, is an Indian essayist and novelist whose pieces have been published in The New York Review of Books and The New Yorker, among others. He said that India's nationalist imagination received a serious blow when China hosted the summer Olympics last August.
"It became very clear that China had reached a state which India could not even think about aspiring to at this time," Mishra said.
According to Mishra, since then Indian nationalism took another blow when it became clear that President Barack Obama did not think of India as a strategic counter to China. It thus became clear that unlike what the mass media had perpetuated, India and China were not equals.
After the panel, Wang stated that she believes that democracy is both possible and inevitable in China. Speaking in Chinese, Wang pointed to the increasing individualism that has accompanied the transition to a capitalist system.
"People have more and more disparate wants now, and it will be impossible for one person to decide their future for them without internal unrest," Wang explained. "In fact, it would be dangerous."

I must admit, I was amazed how many of you felt so strongly about me staying away from the extremely hot but unmotivated slacker I met yesterday with my sister. 59% said I was asking for trouble by accepting a date with him. By the way, to the person who wrote in that maybe he's a billionaire in disguise, LOVE THAT, but I'm pretty intuitive, and I think the only thing this guy was hiding were parking tickets and a pack of Parliaments. Anyway, I get the feeling a lot of you have been burned by burnouts like him before, and I totally appreciate your looking out for me.
So my sis will be flying solo tonight! We had an awesome day of sisterly bonding. While leaving The Farmer's Market, we saw 2 sisters pushing their babies in strollers side by side-- we totally idolized them. We had a really emotional moment where we admitted how happy we are with the women we've grown to be, yet incredibly eager for the next stage of our lives to start. We're both just... exhausted from the nonstop "issues" (ahem, see below!).
Now, put the violins away and take out the Diane Von Furstenberg. Instead of the slacker or the 23 year old (who I'm seeing Thursday!), tonight I am going to dinner with a tres chic guy who I met at a museum my first week in LA. It will be our third date, but don't make any "you know what happens on the third date" assumptions. This guy has not even kissed me! I shouldn't complain, so many of the guys I meet are total man-whores, and this one has a lot of class. HOWEVER, it's getting to be a little awkward.
The only explanation I can think of is that he doesn't really drink, so our "good-nights" are always sober and a little self-conscious. I'm not a big drinker myself but dating is hard to do dry. So I'm anticipating the same peck on the cheek thing tonight and I'd like to actually see if this guy can kiss. He's artsy and *into me *and uninhibited about everything else, so I get the feeling he'd be unbelievable behind closed doors (sorry, Dad!) but only the kiss will tell. It's usually not my style but should I initiate the first kiss?

|This article is about the TV series. You may be looking for the book series or the 100 delinquents.
The 100 is an American post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi Dystopian drama television series developed by Jason Rothenberg and is loosely based on the book series of the same name by Kass Morgan. The series follows a group of Delinquents, who have been sent down to Earth to see if it is survivable or not. For the first time in nearly a century, humans have returned to planet Earth, but they realize they're not alone.
The series premiered on The CW in the United States on March 19, 2014, attracting 2.73 million viewers on the original airing; the sixth season of the series premiered on April 30, 2019. In August 2019, it was announced that the series will conclude with the seventh season that was premiered on May 20, 2020 and will conclude on September 23, 2020
The series is loosely based on The 100, the first novel in the hundred series by Kass Morgan. Some characters are original characters and do not appear in the books. A few also have their personalities switched or shared. The TV series is also considered to be ahead of the book series in events. Many of the events that happen in the TV show may not happen in the books.
Plot Edit
Set in 2149, 97 years after a nuclear apocalypse has devastated the surface of Earth, the only survivors were approximately 400 inhabitants of 12 national space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three generations have survived in space. The Ark has strict measures, including capital punishment for those over 18 and population control, as the leaders of the Ark take steps to ensure the survival of the human race. But now, resources are running out and the Ark is dying. For the first time in nearly a century, there is talk of returning to Earth.
100 juveniles convicted of various crimes are sent to Earth to see if it is survivable. Among them are 17-year-old Clarke Griffin, the daughter of the Ark's chief medical officer and of the Ark's chief engineer; Wells Jaha, the son of Chancellor Jaha; the daredevil Finn Collins; the illegal sister Octavia Blake; her stowaway brother Bellamy Blake; the lighthearted Jasper Jordan; and the resourceful Monty Green.
Technologically blind to what's happening to the 100 on Earth, the Ark's leaders Chancellor Jaha, second-in-command Marcus Kane, Councilwoman Abigail Griffin and the Council are faced with difficult decisions about life, death and the continued existence of the human race.
For the 100, Earth is an alien planet; however, they quickly discover that Earth is filled with new wonders and dangers of all sorts. Then, they discover that not all humanity was wiped out, and some survived the nuclear apocalypse: the Grounders, who live in 12 clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group of Grounders who have become cannibals; and the Mountain Men, who live in Mount Weather and locked themselves away before the apocalypse.
In the second season, the remaining 48 of the 100 are taken by the Mountain Men to Mount Weather, where they discover a community of survivors. It is eventually revealed that the Mountain Men are transfusing blood from imprisoned Grounders as an anti-radiation treatment. Medical tests of the 100 show an even more potent anti-radiation efficacy; their bone marrow will allow the Mountain Men to survive outside on the ground. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the Ark have successfully crash-landed various stations on Earth and begun an alliance with the Grounders to save their groups of people, naming the main settlement at Alpha Station "Camp Jaha".
In the third season, Camp Jaha, now renamed Arkadia, comes under new management when Pike, a former teacher and mentor, is elected over Kane as Chancellor and begins a war with the Grounders. An artificial intelligence named A.L.I.E. was revealed to be responsible for the nuclear apocalypse that devastated Earth 97 years before the series, and she takes over the minds of nearly everyone in Arkadia and Polis – the capital city of the Grounders. In the third season finale, Clarke manages to destroy A.L.I.E. after it is revealed that the world is facing another nuclear disaster. This is due to nuclear reactors around the world that have fallen into disrepair and are irradiating Earth, once again threatening to make it uninhabitable.
In the fourth season, Clarke and the others investigate ways to survive the second nuclear apocalypse. When it is discovered that Nightbloods have a higher resistance to radiation, Clarke and the others attempt to recreate the serum but fail to test it. An old bunker is discovered that can protect 1200 people for five years. Twelve Champions fight in the Final Conclave to determine control of the bunker. Octavia wins and decides that each of the twelve clans receive a hundred spots in the bunker, uniting everyone into a single clan called Wonkru. Bellamy and six others return to space to live in the remnants of the original Ark while Clarke, who is now a Nightblood, remains on the ground.
In the fifth season, which takes place six years after the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, an Eligius transport ship full of prisoners arrives in the only habitable land on Earth, known as Shallow Valley. There, Clarke has been living with a Nightblood child named Madi. Using resources from the prisoners' ship, those who survived in space and in the bunker return to the ground. Both Wonkru and the Eligius prisoners want control of the valley resulting in the battle ending with the valley being destroyed. The survivors escape to space and go into cryosleep while their ship travels to a new habitable world.
In the sixth season, after 125 years in cryosleep, Clarke, Bellamy, and the others wake up to find out that they were brought to the new habitable world, called "Alpha", also known as Sanctum. After landing on this world, they discover a new society, led by the ruling families, known as the Primes. However, they also discover new dangers on this new world, and a mysterious rebel group, known as the Children of Gabriel. It is soon revealed that the Primes have been living for hundreds of years as they discovered a way to implant a "Mind Drive" into another body allowing for a person to live just in a different body. After discovering the Primes' dark secret, Clarke, Bellamy, and the others manages to defeat and overthrow the Primes, with the help from the Children of Gabriel.
In the seventh season, Clarke and the others try to find a way to live together in peace, following the aftermath of the events of the previous season, as well as solving the mystery of the Anomaly. It was later revealed that the Anomaly is actually a wormhole to other different worlds in space, as it was controlled by a mysterious, theocratic military regime, known as the Disciples.

Production Edit
Conception and development Edit
In 2012, prior to the publication of the first book, the TV team in Alloy Entertainment pitched the idea to its partner studio at Warner Bros. TV as a potential pilot.[2] Television producer Jason Rothenberg was drawn to the project by the idea of "sending these hundred juvenile delinquents down to the ground" in a Lord of the Flies esque fashion.[3] Rothenberg came back with a take they liked, and the series was successfully pitched to The CW.[2]
On May 9, 2013, it was announced that the CW ordered The 100 for midseason launch, developed by Rothenberg. The series premiered on March 19, 2014, attracting 2.73 million viewers on the original airing, making it CW's most watched new series premiere of the season, and delivered the network's best total viewer numbers in its time period in 3.5 years.[4] Following a positive reception to the first thirteen-episode season, the CW renewed The 100 for a second series.
Rothenberg believes the series had shaky debut and didn't find its footing until episode 5. Rothenberg thought a darker storytelling and was encouraged to do so by CW President Mark Pedowitz's.[5][6]

Music Edit
- Main article: Music
The first season was soundtracked largely by pop jams and notable contributions by Imagine Dragons, Ben Howard, Youngblood Hawke and Disclosure with some trendy recognizable additions. As well as original music was composed by Evan Frankfort, Liz Phair, and Marc Dauer.
The second season still offered instances of contemporary music with frequent appearances by Raign, but much more of the soundtrack came from recordings of classical music and original compositions for the show by Evan Frankfort.
The third season introduced an original score composed by Tree Adams and made more use of diegetic sources, playing in the world of the show rather than as a part of the soundtrack. According to Inverse, season 3 has been by far the most cohesive in terms of music choice.[7]
Other Edit
The series is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television, and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Matthew Miller, Jason Rothenberg, Bharat Nalluri, Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo.
Zoic Studios does CG work for The 100, Mastersfx handles the practical effects.
Prequel series Edit
A prequel series is in development, with Rothenberg developing the series for The CW. In October 2019, it was reported that a backdoor pilot episode had been ordered, which will also serve as an episode of The 100. The prequel series is set to show the events 97 years before The 100, beginning with the nuclear apocalypse that wiped out almost all life on Earth.[8]
