On the other hand, we have the evidence of the folio, 1632, that the old understanding of the passage was " caves," for it is there so printed, the u of the older copy having been discarded for its substitute. It is, besides, very obvious that the aspick might leave its slime upon the "caves" of Nile as well as upon the canes of Nile.
"The Tragedie of Cymbeline" was first printed in the folio of 1623, where it stands last in the division of " Tragedies," and occupies thirty-one pages ; viz. from p. 369 to p. 399, misprinted p. 993. There is another error in the pagination, as p. 379 is numbered p. 389. These errors are corrected in the three later folios.

Want to gain trust as an Accountant? This is the reason you may not have it at your work place.
When the case was investigated by an audit firm, they called up all the financial documents in paper form including invoices issued and other source documents used in all there business transactions. You can imagine the stress and time consumed in combing through a twelve month annual report splitted into daily transactions.
At the end of the auditing processes, it was discovered that the transaction the Chief Finance Officer omitted was a prepaid income transaction.
Certainly, I know you don't want to find yourself being laid off like this.
Now, here is how you can find yourself in the same position:
You have been employed to handle the book-keeping and accounting functions of a company after passing through rigors of the recruitment process, and now the top management are having high expectation on your job role to produce a more effective and accurate financial report to aid their decision making process.
How you can attract and increase managements' confidence on your accounting roles and functions.
Before I delve into this simple tip, it is very important that you understand the current trends that are driving business processes. We are now in a society where business processes and accounting information systems are driven by IT- the new language in IT driven business system is Cloud computing, where different computers perform various information processing on a shared network.
Having said that, information reliability is no doubt driven by sources and data processing system. For you to produce an accounting report that the management can depend on to make a precise and accurate decision, you need to ensure that your accounting information processing system is reliable-from preparation of source documents, posting to ledger to generating final account-income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
This stems from the fact that auditors are more concerned about financial statement accuracy which if compromised could raise unfavourable comments about your job functions.
As an accountant, it's advisable that you maintain a good system of recording company's daily transactions. A system that keeps track of document issued and received from various parties on a real-time basis, stores them and calls them up when needed.
If your accounting processing system is reliable, financial statement will definitely show a true and fair picture of company's positions which when audited, will not breed a biased comment from the independent auditors and invariably impact on management confidence on your job role and functions.
Striking a balance between accuracy and timing (especially at a time when you need to present an urgent financial report to management regarding the next best corporate strategic decision) has been the key problem of using a manual accounting system. The only way you can strike the balance between accuracy and timing, is through a simple, easy to use automated accounting system – which records all your business transactions into their appropriate ledger and produce an immediate report.
Hence, the need for a software like QuickBooks cannot be underestimated in meeting these business needs such as a precise and quality (in terms of content) financial report, accuracy and real-time report, just to mention a few. QuickBooks is rated number one accounting software in small business accounting.
With QuickBooks accounting software, you can organise your business finance, track your income and expenses in one place and generate a real time report as at when needed.
There are different QuickBooks Accounting software package you can choose for your business accounting, depending on your capacity and your business growth rate.

With Halloween just around the corner, what better time to find out from EW that Bryan Fuller, the man behind such series as Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, is working on a contemporary take on the 1960's sitcom The Munsters. In addition, there's a rumor going around that Guillermo Del Toro is looking to get involved in the project. The comedy series followed a family of monsters and their exploits that often resulted in mocking classic monster movies, and popular culture of the era from other TV series like Leave It to Beaver. Unlike The Addams Family, Herman, Lily, Eddie, Marilyn and Grandpa Munster were a little more grounded and a little less well-to-do.
If anyone other than Bryan Fuller were attached to this series remake, I would kill it with fire, but his unique style and storytelling seems perfect for an off-kilter family of monsters like this. In addition, if del Toro's involvement means we get a comedic tone similar to that of Hellboy then I'm all in. Apparently the series (which only has a pilot ordered thus far) is described as Modern Family meets True Blood. Maybe del Toro could get Ron Perlman to play Herman? Seems like a crazy idea and a long shot, but it would certainly be interesting. What do you guys think?

Make your content compelling, build suspense and most of all make sure it is benefit driven. Show them what they get when they do business with you. And stay away from telling them what features are in your product. If you must show a feature, stress its benefit. Always stress benefits. Your customer only cares about what they want, so show them the benefits of your products and services.
Every affiliate marketer has wasted time and money in niches which just don't turn a profit. Therefore, don't be disappointed if a niche you've chosen won't make money for you.
So now you have your print catalogs. You are ready to distribute them. This is also an important stage in catalog marketing. Where and how you give them away can spell a difference in the results of your marketing strategy. Your aim is to send out as many as possible, to the right people. You would not want to just distribute them and then hope that the right customers will see them. You're only wasting your money and effort this way. The key is to get them to as many target audience as you can.
Don't try to sell anything on this page! I know that sounds counter intuitive, but it is important to do. Just address the keyword phrase that brought them here. Make the page very relevant to what the customer wants. Try to educate, solve a problem, entertain them or give them whatever they came for. Do it in a personal, helpful way. Relate to them and they will always come back.
The advantages of utilizing dealership far outweigh that of selling the car privately. One can trade in his old car for new one or slightly used one while paying for the difference. What's good with this set-up is that only the difference is subject to tax. Also, disposing your car in this manner is faster since dealerships have already established a ready market. In opposition to private selling, you have to personally look for potential buyers. Most often, these buyers would be complaining about the performance, feature, or just about anything in hopes of lowering the price. But if you're not an emotional seller, the gains in privately selling a car is bigger compared to selling it through dealerships.
There are two products on the current market, Physical Product and Digital Product. Physical product is something you can touch, see and feel it. Whereas Digital Product is a product which store in the digital format such as video, doc, PDF or jpeg files.

Why is tricky in an > OWL context and why is it tricky to parse in implementations? Well, as Rinke showed, it implies (at least now illegal but often supported) punning of both an Object property and Data property, and the only way to do that now would be to use an Annotation property instead, which does not specify any range but is semantically misleading in this case as the body is quite an important part of an oa:Annotation, almost required. Using tools that parse an ontology/schema and generate classes, such as Sesame's Alibaba and Elmo, would I presume simply not work well, as they represent annotated Java interfaces for classes of resources, and use String/int etc. for literals. Even using low-level regular RDF tools like rdflib and Jena could get tricky, as you would have to first try to get the body as a literal/catch exception; or dispatch on isLiteral() equivalent, and then try to get it as a resource if not. If there is a mix of resources and bodies, it would get tricky both how to retrieve them, and also how to represent them internally. Basically implementers would in many cases have to create the equivalent of an ContentInRDF node in the memory and replace it at last minute. In dynamic languages like Python doing SPARQL, you could have retrieved the body "resource" 5 steps ago, passed it along, and then try to execute methods on it, and then just realize you got a string instead. (This would even more hit developers who get used to retrieving the strings initially, and then later all the sudden get these "advanced" bodies that have URIs). If we use ContentInRDF solution (or even just a bnode with rdf:value), then there is no need to dispatch on anything unless you are particularly concerned about retrieving the body content, in which case you would still need to handle the exceptional case of a resource identifier you can't resolve. As someone from the provenance community I also prefer having a node I can attach additional metadata to. I can't attach anything to a literal. To a ContentInRDF node I can still attach timestamps, authorship information, format information, checksums, mirrors, links to other formats, etc. > As far as I know, dcterms:creator is of type rdf:Property but the guidelines > suggest to use it only with resources. The range is dcterms:Agent - it would be tricky to make a literal be a dcterms:Agent although I guess some still try.. > Maybe…but sometimes it is worth to re-consider model design decisions after > observing some real-world patterns, like the use of plain strings. That I agree. I don't want to overcomplicate things. That said, if we only promote one particular use of ContentInRdf - or even just a custom oa:Content with an rdf:value - then I don't think it should be particularly complicated. :tweet1 a oa:Annotation ; oa:hasTarget <http://www.example.com/> ; oa:hasBody [ cnt:chars "@soilandreyes http://www.example.com/ What a terrible example #oac" ; ] ; pav:importedFrom <https://twitter.com/soilandreyes/> . And thus I could instead be a bit more verbose about how and when I got hold of that body: oa:hasBody [ cnt:chars "@soilandreyes http://www.example.com/ What a terrible example #oac" ; pav:importedFrom <https://twitter.com/soilandreyes/status/291516466212241408> ; pav:importedOn "2012-01-16T12:08:13Z" ; ] ; (Here I really wanted to use pav:retrievedFrom, but sadly Twitter has no easy API to directly get only the tweet text ;) ) .. and if I used one of those URNs instead of a bnode, even other people could do the above and more. It is a gradual road to open and linked data. > A major practical problem I experienced in the past was that it is really hard to compute hashes > over RDF serializations containing bnodes.

$10 Liberty Gold Coins XF
Grade Definition
"XF" is a contraction for the denotation of "Extremely Fine" on the Sheldon Scale, which was developed in 1949 by Dr. William Herbert Sheldon, and ranges from 1 on the low end to 70 on the high end. XF coins tend to fall in the 35-45 range. If a $10 Liberty gold piece is graded Extremely Fine, that means that the coin saw use as a currency piece and was traded among citizens for goods and services.Specifics of the GradeRegarding the $10 Liberty gold coin, a specimen in the Extremely Fine range of grades will show use and be scuffed and worn. There will probably be small dents or scratches in the coin's details, most likely including the coronet wearing "Lady Liberty" on the front or the shielded eagle on the back of the coin. More than likely "Bag marks" will be present as well. Bag marks occur when gold coins are held in a sack (Usually in a banker's vault) and the coins at the bottom of the bag are rubbed against by the coins at the top of the bank bag.

I think I'd be lying if I said the last few days haven't been just wonderful.
It all started last week where a change of work plans meant I'd be able to work from home the last 2 days of the week. Ideal as I had a half day on the Thursday and the eldest was doing her class assembly on the Friday morning 🙂
The half day on the Thursday was booked so I could go to the hospital with the wife for the 20 week scan on our 6th child! Scan was great but we then had an appointment booked with the consultant to discuss how we are going to proceed with regards to the birth.
Our previous history in a nutshell as been C/S, followed by 2 natural births in hospital, a natural birth at home and finally a C/S. As usual we are expecting to have a large baby (the smallest so far was the 2nd @ 9lb 6oz, biggest 11lb 7oz) and due to the 2 previous C/S she is classed as a "complicated" birth. I think we where both rather nervous as we waited patiently for the consultant in the side-room. When his assistant came through and we started talking I thought I was dreaming.
She pretty much said they would support us in our decision to try and have a natural birth! This came as a huge shock as with the last 3 they have tried various scare tactics to try and bully us into having a C/S. Thankfully my wife is rather well read on the various risks associated with this so will usually challenge them if they give unusually high statistics but found that none of that was needed this time. Immediately I could sense she had calmed down and I felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders as it actually felt as if we had the hospital on our side rather then trying to block our attempts at a natural birth. A strong emphasis was placed on the fact that they couldn't do anything that the wife didn't consent to. She knows all to well that she doesn't labour well if restricted to a bed and hooked up to a monitor. During the homebirth of our 4th daughter she did the whole thing with no pain relief as she was just left to "get on with it" (for want of a better phrase) it was an incredible experience to be able to lay down to sleep early that morning with my wife and our daughter who was about an hour old 😀
On the Friday the work that I was doing was rather repetitive so I took a break in the morning to see the eldest do her assembly and then again in the afternoon to attend the playgroup with the wife and no.5 (I'm a big kid and love a good play so a chance to have a mess around with mine and a couple of other kids is one I'd rarely pass up!) It was then that I realized another advantage of working from home. I could work "late" to make up for the extra time I'd taken out during the day which also worked out well as I was working when the kids had gone to bed so could concerntrate better 🙂
Of course all this goodness couldn't have gone un-answered as it appears the kids had picked up a vomitting bug……queue 4 of them with Exorcist style vomitting sessions and each one being issued a sick bucket! Despite our best effort pretty much all the soft covers and bedsheets have needed to visit the washing machine over the weekend! It's amazing how well you develop the ability to breath via your mouth as a parent 🙂

There's one major drawback to most proposed renewable-energy sources: their variability. The sun doesn't shine at night, the wind doesn't always blow, and tides, waves and currents fluctuate. That's why many researchers have been pursuing ways of storing the power generated by these sources so that it can be used when it's needed.
So far, those solutions have tended to be too expensive, limited to only certain areas, or difficult to scale up sufficiently to meet the demands. Many researchers are struggling to overcome these limitations, but MIT professor Donald Sadoway has come up with an innovative approach that has garnered significant interest — and some major funding.
The idea is to build an entirely new kind of battery, whose key components would be kept at high temperature so that they would stay entirely in liquid form. The experimental devices currently being tested in Sadoway's lab work in a way that's never been attempted in batteries before.
This month, the newly established federal agency ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency, Energy) announced its first 37 energy-research grants out of a pool of 3,600 applications, and Sadoway's project to develop utility-scale batteries received one of the largest sums — almost $7 million over five years. And within a few days of the ARPA-E announcement, the French oil company Total — the world's fifth-largest — announced a $4 million, five-year joint venture with MIT to develop a smaller-scale version of the same technology, suitable for use in individual homes or other buildings.
Because the technology is being patented and could lead to very large-scale commercialization, Sadoway will not discuss the details of the materials being used. But both Sadoway and ARPA-E say the battery is based on low-cost, domestically available liquid metals that have the potential to shatter the cost barrier to large-scale energy storage as part of the nation's energy grid. In announcing its funding of Sadoway's work, ARPA-E said the battery technology "could revolutionize the way electricity is used and produced on the grid, enabling round-the-clock power from America's wind and solar power resources, increasing the stability of the grid, and making blackouts a thing of the past."
Andrew Chung, a principal at Lightspeed Venture Partners in Menlo Park, Calif., which has no equity stake in Sadoway's project at this point, says that "grid-scale storage is an area that's set to explode in the next decade or so," and is one that his company is following closely. The liquid battery concept Sadoway is developing "is an exciting approach to solving the problem," he says.
Big is beautiful
Most battery research, Sadoway says, has been aimed at improving storage for portable or mobile systems such as cellphones, computers and cars. The requirements for such systems, including very low weight and high safety, are very different from the needs of a grid-scale, fixed-location battery system. "What I did was completely ignore the conventional technology used for portable power," he says. The different set of requirements for stationary systems "opens up a whole new range of possibilities."
A large, utility-owned system "doesn't have to be crash-worthy; it doesn't have to be 'idiot-proof' because it won't be in the hands of the consumer." And while consumers are willing to pay high prices, pound-for-pound, for the small batteries used in high-value portable devices, the biggest constraint on utility-sized systems is cost. In order to compete with present fossil-fuel power systems, he says, "it has got to be cheap to build, cheap to maintain, last a long time with minimal maintenance, and store enormous amounts of energy."
And so the new liquid batteries that Sadoway and his team, including graduate student David Bradwell, are designing use low-cost, abundant materials. The basic principle is to place three layers of liquid inside a container: Two different metal alloys, and one layer of a salt. The three materials are chosen so that they have different densities that allow them to separate naturally into three distinct layers, with the salt in the middle separating the two metal layers —like novelty drinks with different layers.
The energy is stored in the liquid metals that want to react with one another but can do so only by transferring ions — electrically charged atoms of one of the metals — across the electrolyte, which results in the flow of electric current out of the battery. When the battery is being charged, some ions migrate through the insulating salt layer to collect at one of the terminals. Then, when the power is being drained from the battery, those ions migrate back through the salt and collect at the opposite terminal.
The whole device is kept at a high temperature, around 700 degrees Celsius, so that the layers remain molten. In the small devices being tested in the lab, maintaining this temperature requires an outside heater, but Sadoway says that in the full-scale version, the electrical current being pumped into, or out of, the battery will be sufficient to maintain that temperature without any outside heat source.
While some previous battery technologies have used one liquid-metal component, this is the first design for an all-liquid battery system, Sadoway says. "Solid components in batteries are speed bumps. When you want ultra-high current, you don't want any solids."
Inspiration from aluminum
The initial inspiration for the idea came from thinking about a very different technology, Sadoway says: one of the biggest users of electrical energy, aluminum smelting plants. Sadoway realized that this was one of the few existing examples of a system that could sustain extremely high levels of electrical current over a sustained period of years at a time. "It's an electrochemical process that runs at high temperatures, and at a current of hundreds of thousands of amps," he says. In a sense, the new concept is like an aluminum plant running in reverse, producing power instead of consuming it.
Chung says that from the point of view of a venture capitalist, the research is particularly intriguing for several reasons. Not only does it offer the potential to significantly lower the cost and increase cycle life [the number of times it can be charged and discharged] of large-scale electricity storage, but it also suggests that the risk typically associated with an early stage research project may be lower because the system draws on decades of experience in the design and operation of aluminum production facilities. "That gives us added confidence that some of the targets around cost, scalability and safety have merit," he says.
The team is now testing a number of different variations of the exact composition of the materials in the three layers, and of the design of the overall device. Sadoway says that thanks to initial funding through the Deshpande Center and the Chesonis Family Foundation, he and his team were able to develop the concept to the point of demonstrating a proof-of-principle at the laboratory scale. That, in turn, made it possible to get the large grants to develop the technology further.
"It's an example of work that sprang from basic science, was developed to a pilot scale, and now is being scaled up to have a real transformational impact in the world," says Ernest Moniz, director of the MIT Energy Initiative.
The laboratory tests have provided "some measure of confidence," Sadoway says. But many more tests will be needed to "demonstrate that the idea is scalable to industrial size, at competitive cost." But while he is very confident that it will all work, there are a lot of unknowns, he says, including how to design and build the necessary containers, electrical control systems, and connections.
"We're talking about batteries of a size never seen before," he says. And the system they develop has to include everything, including control systems and charger electronics on an unprecedented scale.
For Sadoway, the project is worth pursuing despite its daunting challenges, because the potential impact is so great. "I'm not doing this because I want another journal publication," Sadoway says. "It's about making a difference … It's an opportunity to invent our way out of the energy problem."

The material needed to create the container is not easily to be found, which kind of alloy can achieve that goal?
November 24, 2009
needed little more info with extra pictures.....
Syed Samiul Elahi
November 24, 2009
Is one of the components salt water?
November 24, 2009
what percent of the energy produced is required to heat the metals to 700 Celsius? presumably there's a net gain?
November 25, 2009
what is the source of energy for the battery ,is it from the sun or wind?
Vinay Hiremath
November 25, 2009
In the article they state that ions are transferred and, since the energy is being transferred in an aqueous solution using an electrolyte, I'm assuming they're using some sort of ionic salt compound that readily disassociates in liquid.
Syed Samiul Elahi
November 30, 2009
I guess salt layers have something to do with cheap salt components, and their melting points have to be below 700 degrees Celsius. Correct me if i am wrong.
Syed Samiul Elahi
November 30, 2009
How do they keep the temperature around 700 degrees Celsius? what is the source of this kind of heating? will they be environment friendly plants?
Dilip Kumar
November 30, 2009
it really sounds promising, a small flow diagram could be of help to the readers..
What could be the efficiency of such a battery? If it has to be maintained at 700 deg.c and if it is in idle state, neither charging nor discharging, much of the energy could be spent given the large scale of the battery...
I wish Mr. Sadoway all the best..

My guess is that the bottom layer is molten lead, the middle layer is molten lead chloride, and the top layer is molten aluminum. On discharge the aluminum is oxidized to aluminum chloride which might be miscible with lead chloride and lead chloride is reduced to lead. If miscibility of lead chloride and aluminum chloride is only partial the gravitational equilibrium would not be disturbed. On recharge the reactions are reversed. All components would be liquid at 700 C. The larger the scale, the smaller is the ratio of surface area to mass and heat loss to the environment is reduced. The assembly would have some resemblance to the Daniels cell in that gravity would keep the layers apart..
Kay Brower
November 30, 2009
No alloy is needed. Aluminum and lead are common and cheap
Kay Brower
November 30, 2009
Definitely not. Water is supercritical at 700 C.
Kay Brower
November 30, 2009
Heat loss is a minor consideration at large scale (several meters or more). Thermal diffusivity in earth is very low.
Kay Brower
November 30, 2009
Either of the above or hydro or geothermal or tidal.
Kay Brower
November 30, 2009
The electrolyte is non-aqueous, other wise enormous pressure would be needed to maintain an aqueous medium at high density at 700 C (far above the critical temperature of water).

Your guess is backed up by the picture actually. Take a look at the picture in the upper-right hand corner. There are 3 layers: a lower beige layer, a middle white layer, and a top silver layer. The beige could be molten lead. The white appearance of the middle layer could suggest a chloride salt (take simple NaCl, for example, or AgCl). The top layer exudes a silvery metallic appearance, much of aluminum. Can anybody back up krbrower's hypotheses?
Eric Keezer
December 14, 2009
Could these batteries be placed on the sea floor near hydrothermal vents? They get pretty hot down there. Maybe 400˚C
January 18, 2010
Lead chloride (atm wgt 278) doesn't work gravimetrically for the middle layer, its denser than lead (207). Nor will will the PbCl2 completely dissociate. So it would displace the Pb. Must have a middle layer with a density between the two.
January 18, 2010
As suggested in the Tech review, Mg (24), Na2S (78), and Sb (121) works.
James Gerard
August 31, 2011
Hi Falstaff:
Density does not have a 1 to 1 relationship with atomic weight (or atomic number in the case of elements). Lead Chloride does indeed fall between the aluminum upper layer and the lead lower layer. It has a nominal density of 5.85, so it fits right in.
James Gerard
August 31, 2011
krbrower, you misunderstood the question. It was about the material for the containment vessel, not the liquid contents. I suppose that the vessels used in aluminum smelting would be similar, as may be the containment vessels for high temperature and high pressure reactors, both atomic and chemical. Since weight is not a problem, the building of adequate vessels, durable enough for long time service, should be very possible with existing technology.

Wedding Veil with Blusher
What is a Blusher?
The Blusher is the section of the veil that falls forward to cover the bride's face. It can be worn to any length.
The length of your blusher is dependant on the position of the comb in your hair. You can take a measurement as described below to determine the length of the front blusher section. Most blushers we create for clients are between 50cm (19.7") and 64cm (25.2") long.
Helpful Hints
It is important to consider your hairstyle when measuring the length for the front blusher. Your hairstyle will determine where your veil is fastened to your hair. It is best to have an idea of where you would like your wedding veil to be fastened into your hair before measuring for your veil.
Avoiding mistakes
If you place your comb further back than initially intended or measured for, then the blusher section length may be a little short when lowered down over your face.
How to measure
Measure from the point at which you would like to fasten your wedding veil down in front of your face to the point at which you would like the veil to finish. As a guideline most of the blushers we create are between 50cm (19.7") and 64cm (25.2") long.

Have a fun, get PDUs easy
In May 2011 I got a PMP. One month passed away. I started to use knowledge I got during the certification.
It was time to start thinking about professional development.
It has a couple of benefits:
• First of all – you grow through learning
• Secondly – you grow through sharing your experience
• Also you grow through discussing some common project management problems
PMI gives you an ability to maintain your PMP certification through your professional development.
That is why I started to plan my development taking into account PMI requirements.
To keep your certificate valid you must earn 60 PDU (professional development units) in a 3 years period.
There are two areas where you can claim PDU:
• Educational
• Giving back to the profession (maximum 45 PDU allowed)
Each area has 3 categories. So basically you can earn PDU in 6 ways:
• Taking courses from PMI's R.E.P.
• Education
• Self-Directed Learning
• Creating New Project Management Knowledge
• Volunteer Service
• Work as a Professional in Project Management
More detailed information you can find here
Based on this information, here is my plan:
• It's good for project manager to SPEAK AT CONFERENCES or CONDUCTS SOME INTERNAL COMPANY COURSES. That gives you 1 PDU per hour (including preparing and speaking). I usually yield 10 PDUs per conference speaking. So you need to take part in 4-5 such events in 3 years, which is not so much. It's Creating New Project Management Knowledge category.
• It would be strange if you have a PMP and don't work as Project Manager. So if you work as PM, you can claim 5 PDU per year. So will get up to 15 PDU for 3 years. This is Work as a Professional in Project Management category.
Now we have 45 PDUs. Only 15 PDUs left. There are two ways how to get them:
• Short and expensive but still useful: Take course from PMI R.E.P. You can earn 16 PDU at a time. Look here for more information
• Long and free but useful too: Watch 1 hour webinars on PMI. There are a lot of quite interesting webinars each week. I personally like series of Agile webinars from Sally Elatta. They usually start at 7 PM in Ukraine Time Zone. So it looks like as a good end of the day. Each hour gives you 1 PDU. Even 1 webinar in a month is enough to get 15 PDUs in a 3 year period.
Now it's clearer to me (and I hope to the reader) how to develop yourself, have a fun and keep your certificate valid.

CLICK HERE: Let's Scatter The Table;.. 7 Ways To Identify A Real And Fake Native Doctor To Avoid Wasting Your Money And Time.
A Nigerian man from Ebonyi State, identified as Mr Ikechukwu Oke has allegedly fasted for 41 days and nights, suddenly overtaking Jesus who fasted for 40 days and nights in the bible.
According to report, Mr Ikechukwu who hails from Ebiaji in Ezza North LGA embarked on 41 days and nights of dry fasting and prayer in his hostel, located in Ishieke, Ebonyi State.
PAY ATTENTION: My Husband Wanted To Marry A Second Wife, Here Is What I Did To Stop Him. I Am Now In Peace.
The SS1 student of Ishieke Secondary School in Ebonyi State has been hospitalized at FETHA 1 in Abakaliki, the state capital, "after surviving 41 days and 41 nights dry fasting".
Speaking over the incident, Mr Felix Nonso said the boy, Master Ikechukwu Okeh, from Ebiaji in Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, decided to embark on the fasting "due to family problems".
He said that, apart from seeking assistance from both the government and private individuals, the mother told interested journalists that what the boy ever wanted in life was to become a Reverend Father, "but there was no one to assist him since he was a boy."
He said: "Fasting has been his part of life, though he has never embarked on dry fasting. He was still reading his Bible while being administered to by the doctors Engr Peter Edeh called to attend to him. All thanks to God who preserved him for 41 days and night dry fasting. I want to enjoin you who have the heart of assistance to ensure this boy end up in theology school."
In a comment, a former commissioner for education in the state, Engr Peter Edeh, who is incidentally an old boy of the school, said that he had mobilised others to make sure that the boy is treated in the hospital.
He said: "He is unable to speak, but arrangements have been made to take him to hospital. His mother, a widow, is with him now. On a notepad beside him, he listed some of his problems which include constant spiritual attacks, family afflictions, and other academic and financial problems."

Florianesque #sexist florianesque.tumblr.com
i used to be entirely ambivalent to misandry, but i am now 100% in favor of misandry.
let me explain: my mom almost got attacked by a sexual predator on a tour in new orleans because he made her feel guilty about distrusting him. he shamed her for not trusting a complete stranger and made up a fake daughter to make her feel safer around him. and this wasn't a long time ago, it was last summer! my mom could have been killed because she was guilted into trusting an actual rapist.
she only found out because they ran into one of his victims, who risked her job to warn a couple on the tour to get my mom away from him. you matter more than some man's feelings. if you feel unsafe around a man, you trust your gut and if he makes you feel guilty for it you run the fuck away.
if men are using your innate distrust of strangers to manipulate you into doing dangerous shit then distrusting them is a necessity. there are men i know who are amazing, caring people. but the evil ones out there are learning to act like them just so they can hurt you. a good man will understand this and realize why you're nervous.
do you think the man who ended up saving my mom got offended that my mom initially distrusted that predator because he was a man she didn't know?? no. he told her to follow her gut next time and made sure she got back to her hotel safely. good men don't get offended that women distrust bad men.
For the sake of sanity, you should have stayed away from misandry.
Ah, misandry because of personal experience. As if that validates the hatred of half the world's population. I'm sorry that happened to your mother, but it's not like a bad experience someone had from an individual justifies generalizing an entire group of people that shares that person's sex, race, whatever. You don't even need to be a misandrist. Most people don't trust complete strangers anyway.
" if men are using your innate distrust of strangers to manipulate you into doing dangerous shit then distrusting them is a necessity." Automatically, distrusting men solely because of the bad apples isn't a necessity: it's discriminating against the majority of men based on the minority. It's no different from automatically distrusting a black person because they might be a thief or a thug, but they're being judged because of an arbitrary factor like skin colour. I get the feeling that you're citing that you know "amazing, caring men" after going on a spree about how women need to distrust men to justify being a misandrist. A good man won't understand why he and other men are being lumped in and distrusted based on the actions of men that they have nothing to do with, and he will realize that it's not a sensible position of yours to hold.
first off, i was insane when i didn't support misandry too. i've had ptsd most of my life because i was first sexually assaulted at age 4 and have been exposed to abuse ever since. men have been systematically destroying my sanity for 19 years, i think i'm entitled to mistrust them considering i now have literally 15 mental illnesses from abuse and cannot risk backtracking because i may literally die. men and boys did this to me, i genuinely have no choice in this.
and also, i have been abused by women but nobody ever blames ME for my abuse when the perpetrator was a woman. funny how that works. i'm expected to just deal with being abused by men and forgive them for it but i'm allowed to be mad and hold a grudge when a woman hurts me. even when it's the same fucking thing! i've had two stalkers, one a man and one a woman and guess which one i get blamed for? go on guess. THE FUCKING MAN. i get blamed for a man choosing to stalk me.
what exactly harms men i personally distrust? it's not like i'm shooting them or stabbing them, i'm just not talking to them or going places alone with them or having sex with them. i don't see how that's bad. there are plenty of people who don't talk to me or hang out alone with me or have sex with me and it doesn't hurt me in the slightest because i don't expect that out of everyone i meet. some people don't wanna know you, who cares? men are way too sensitive about people not wanting to hang out with them or fuck them. just chill out.
plus, my distrust of men is validated by crime statistics, not just personal experience. distrusting black people isn't. i don't even actually distrust men of color the way i distrust white men because they are not logically a threat to me. my distrust of men is 100% logical as a survivor of numerous sexual assaults. i've talked to all of my therapists and psychologists about this and none of them have said it's unhealthy to distrust men while i'm still recovering soooooo honestly i don't care. and i'm never gonna care. i need to focus my energy on not backtracking because, again, i could die and now that i'm on the right combo of meds for my past experiences i actually don't want to. so honestly if it keeps me from getting hurt i'm gonna fucking do it no matter what some stranger thinks. sorry not sorry.

Reverend Fred Luter, Jr. has been elected as the first black President of the Southern Baptist Convention. The organization that has had the tarnished reputation of being a place for white supremecy, racism and segregation since the mid 1800s, made a decision to change their current course in history. Reverend Fred Luter, Jr. was unopposed in the decision for his election as president. Voted in by thousands of members, the 55-year-old pastor from New Orleans was the only one running for office of the organization.
Reverend Luter started preaching with a megaphone on the streets of the 9th Ward. His outlook on life had changed when he escaped death in 1977 after a motorcycle accident. Once he recovered, he made a vow to spend his life serving God.
Then in 1986, a member of the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans discovered Rev. Luter during a local revival. The church was in desperate need of revitalization and Rev. Luter would be the key. His work would be challenging. Not only did he re-build the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in 1986 from 50 members to 8,000, he was challenged once again after Hurricane Katrina. The church now has 5,000 members with funding of over $6 million, predominately from its members. It is the largest Southern Baptist church in Louisiana.
As the President elect, Rev. Fred Luter will run 51,000 congregations and 16 million members, with only 1 million black members. He hopes to get more minority members on the board of the Southern Baptists Convention.

Victoria Beckham has hijacked a flight — or at least the job of the plane's flight attendants!
The mom of four showed her humorous side while en route to Beijing, China, when she Tweeted a picture of herself strapped into a stewardess seat.
"Cabin crew prepare for landing! Welcome to Beijing!!" she wrote alongside the cheeky photo of her and a flight attendant.
The star, who celebrated her 38th birthday Tuesday, is back at work promoting her latest Victoria Beckham collection in China. Harper Seven, her youngest child with hubby David Beckham, is along for the ride.
"Quick stop in Hong Kong, Beijing here we come!" Victoria tweeted with a photo in which she pushes Harper's stroller through an airport lounge.
Asia isn't the first work trip that the 8-month-old has been on while her brothers Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7 stay at home with dad in L.A. In February, she was spotted on Victoria's hip in the tents at New York Fashion Week. The following week, the mommy-daughter duo jetted across the Atlantic for a showing at London Fashion Week.
Traveling around with an infant while working is no easy feat, and Victoria has been very frank about the experience all along.
"Look, if people want to say I'm miserable then so be it," she told the Daily Mirror in February. "I'm really not. I have a lot on my plate. I'm not going to lie about it, I'm tired. I'm really tired but I'm also very happy with my life."

Note: I realized on 2/23/15 that I had mis-numbered my Mixtapes, beginning with Volume 4. When I fixed the numbering, I realized that this one should have been Volume 8, but if you read the introduction to Volume 8, you'll see why I could not make it Volume 9. This is why Volume 8 and Volume 9 are out of order.
Some time ago, I wrote briefly about the fact that a lot of metal lyrics (thrash metal in particular) contain a fair amount of social awareness. I quickly got off track, and still intend to follow up on the topic eventually, but for today, I've put together a Mixtape with a theme of drug use (both lawful and illicit). The majority of these songs take a decidedly anti-hard drug stance, some of them are more in vein of urging caution, and a few of them have a positive message regarding the use of mood-altering substances. Without further ado, I present Obey Your Master (which is a line from one of the songs presented below).
Vio-Lence – "T.D.S. (Take It As You Will)" (from Eternal Nightmare – 1988) – I'ma start this fucker off with a big-ass bang. The fifth song on Vio-Lence's utterly perfect debut album ("T.D.S." is short for "The Drug Song") tackles the issue of heroin use. The song starts out sharing the point-of-view of a user, then shifts gears to tell the dealer's side of the story (not unlike N.W.A.'s "Dopeman"). Like all the other songs on Eternal Nightmare, this one is packed so full with Sean Killian's lunatic lead vocals, as well as gang vocals and lightning-fast, insane guitars that it leaves you with very little time to think. Then again, when Vio-Lence is playing, what the fuck do you need to think about?
Anthrax – "N.F.L. (Efilnikufesin)" (from Among the Living – 1987) – This song has remained a staple of Anthrax's live set since the release of Among the Living, and for good reason – it's one of their top 5 best songs (this issue is not open to debate). The lyrics were inspired by John Belushi's untimely death from an overdose of heroin and cocaine. The fact that Jim Belushi is still alive is not actually relevant to this, but it sure as hell is unfair.
Nuclear Assault – "Emergency" (from Handle With Care – 1989) – Nuclear Assault will be one of the primary subjects when I finally get around to writing my "socially-conscious metal" piece, and more should be written about them by more people, because their first three albums are amazing. "Emergency" (very quickly) tells the story of a guy (I assume it's a guy – maybe it's a gal) who has more or less given up on life, and exists solely for the purpose of getting fucked up. I've listened to this album hundreds of times since 1989, and the way this song ends still blows me away.
Brutal Truth – "Mainliner" (from Need to Control – 1994) – This makes the third band in a row that Dan Lilker co-founded (although he only appeared on Anthrax's 1984 debut). That was unintentional, but it's pretty fucking awesome. "Mainliner" is from Brutal Truth's second full-length (which, like Vio-Lence's Eternal Nightmare, happens to be a perfect album), and it's about heroin use. I fucking love the way the song starts. Like many of BT's songs, the lyrics are bit abstract, but one set of lines make it pretty clear where they stand on heroin use:
"It is all/sick desire/kicks for liars/fuel for fire/your head shoved firmly in your ass/nod out/right now."
System of a Down – "Psycho" (from Toxicity – 2001) – Maybe you don't consider System of a Down to be metal. Maybe I don't care what you think. They are obviously heavy, and their first two albums are among the best heavy albums of the late 1990's/early 2000's. They, along with the Deftones, were definitely victims of the media's burning need to classify everything into genres. Both of those bands were light years better than their "nü-metal" peers. Anyway, "Psycho" is about a crazy cokehead groupie, and I assume it's based on a real person (or people) the band had to deal with. I don't feel like looking it up, because it doesn't really matter – the song is great.
Metallica – "Master of Puppets" (from Master of Puppets – 1986) – Not much to say about this one. It's about drug abuse in general, and seems to be about cocaine and/or heroin specifically, but the thing that sets it apart from the other songs on this Mixtape is that it is told from the perspective of the drug itself. I miss Metallica.
Black Sabbath – "Sweet Leaf" (from Master of Reality – 1971) – This is the first of the few songs on this Mixtape that discuss drugs in a more positive light. Everyone knows the riff from "Sweet Leaf", and if you don't, shut up and listen to it right now. It fucking rules.
Brujeria – "Marijuana" (from Marijuana EP – 1998) – Brujeria is Spanish for "witchcraft", and the band is a death metal supergroup whose members pretend to go to absurd lengths to mask their identities. The "official" story of Brujeria is that they are all Latin drug lords who are wanted by government officials, and therefore conceal their identities when they perform live. In reality, people ranging from Fear Factory's Dino Cazares, Napalm Death's Shane Embury, Faith No More's Billy Gould, and Carcass frontman/bassist Jeff Walker have performed with the band (studio and live). This song is not the best Brujeria song, but it is pretty fucking funny.
Death Angel – "Ex-TC" (from Act III – 1990) – Death Angel fucking rules. This song, as you might have guessed, is about ecstasy. The lyrics are almost overwhelmingly positive, not unlike the effects that ecstasy is reported to have on the user.
"Come into my place/there is great pleasure/in what you will find/I throw away hate/that's how you tell/X is on my mind."
Pantera – "Suicide Note Pts. 1 & 2" (from The Great Southern Trendkill – 1996) – Technically, only "Suicide Note Pt. 1" is specifically about drug use, but the songs are fucking amazing together. Phil Anselmo was clearly in a very dark place at this point in his life.
Motörhead – "Motorhead" (from Motörhead – 1977) – "Motorhead" is a slang term for a person who regularly uses/abuses amphetamines. Even if they were called The Jesus-Loving Choirboys, I don't think it would be any secret that the band Motörhead have used/abused amphetamines. And just in case you still weren't sure, a song called "Speedfreak" appeared on their 1982 album Iron Fist. Lemmy's love of Chuck Berry really shines through on this song.
Ozzy Osbourne – "Suicide Solution" (from Blizzard of Ozz – 1980) – This is the Ozzy Osbourne song that reportedly caused a depressed teenager to kill himself. Ozzy has stated that the lyrics were inspired by the death of original AC/DC singer Bon Scott, but Bob Daisley, who played bass on Blizzard of Ozz and wrote much of the music and lyrics (regardless of what Sharon Osbourne has to say about the matter), says that he had Mr. Osbourne himself in mind when he wrote the lyrics to "Suicide Solution". Either way, the lyrics are obviously about alcohol abuse, and do not in any way encourage a person to commit suicide.
Sleep – "Dopesmoker" (from Dopesmoker – 2003) – If this were a real Mixtape, this song would be a bonus disc, as it is just over one hour and three minutes long. In my own dopesmoking days, this song blew my mind clean apart on many occasions. I don't do that anymore, but "Dopesmoker" still melts my face from time to time. On the surface, the song seems to plod along and go nowhere, but if you have patience, you will be richly rewarded. The lyrics are surreal (and almost impossible to sing along with), and the riffs are unbelievably heavy.
"Drrrroooooooooop oooouuuuut of liiiiiiife with booooooooooooooooong iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand/follooooooowwwww the smooooooooooooooooooke to the riff fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeed laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand…"
Final Thoughts: Don't do drugs, kids. Unless you want to. But if you do, for fuck's sake, don't be stupid about it. Getting hooked is dumb, and overdosing is even dumber.
Stay heavy, y'all.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The first real high profile entrance in the Republican race to retain the vital 6th Congressional District is anticipated Wednesday as former legislator Tom Emmer is expected to throw his hat into the ring.
Even if Jim Graves had stayed in the contest, Republican Party Chairman Keith Downey said he had and has every confidence that the GOP will retain the 6th district.
"We have a lot of talent, a very deep bench, a lot of energy. It's a great district in some ways a prototypical Minnesota district that represents the people of our state really well, so I think it is a great fit for republicans," Downey says.
He's not ready to throw his full support behind former lawmaker turned radio host Tom Emmer, but said Emmer's near successful bid for Governor does give him a leg up.
"Tom Emmer would obviously be the one with the highest name recognition to enter the race, but we'll until the entire field is fully known and see how it all plays out," said Downey, who insists that right now keeping the seat Republican is the main focus.
No matter the candidate, Downey said Republicans need a strong national and state voice to stem the tide of unsustainable government.
"A state that grows government and raises taxes, unionizes entire industries, that is just absolutely the wrong signal to be sending to people both in the state and out of the state," said Downey, who gives the impression that for the time being the message outranks the messenger.
"We have to think about how to create a sustainable future and a huge government that taxes its citizens overly so is just not the right formula," said Downey.
The top Republican power broker in Minnesota still believes Michele Bachmann could have retained her seat against Jim Graves, but has even more confidence in the current crop of GOP hopefuls.
"I liked our chances whether it was an incumbent running against Mr. Graves or whether it's a new Republican. I think it is a strong district for us and if we do our work, we should hold that seat," Downey said.
Emmer is expected to make his announcement Wednesday night in his hometown of Delano.

Power station
KidzSearch Safe Wikipedia for Kids.
A power station (or power plant) is a place where electricity is produced. Most do this by electromagnetism, spinning a coil of wire past a magnet to induce an electric current. Usually the spinning is powered by a steam engine, specifically a steam turbine. The steam may be created by:
- Burning fossil fuels to boil water
- Nuclear power, using radioactive sources
- Using the earth's heat, called geothermal energy, to boil water
- Using the sun's heat
Some do not use steam engines to spin the generator. Rather they use:
- Hydropower, which uses the power of moving water to drive turbines
- Using the wind to drive wind turbines
- Internal combustion engine power
A few power stations use the sun's rays to generate solar power without motion. There are many power stations around the world, because many things need electricity to work.

Cohen's Point72 Ventures announces eight-figure investments
STAMFORD — Point72 Ventures, billionaire hedge fund investor Steven Cohen's venture capital business, announced Tuesday it was spearheading investments totaling nearly $60 million in electronics-manufacturing and financial-technology firms.
Ventures is leading a $45 million "Series C" funding round in San Francisco-based Tempo Automation, which specializes in assembling printed circuit boards, using artificial intelligence-based robotics and software automation, for clients that include NASA, Lockheed Martin and GE Healthcare. At the same, Ventures is jointly leading $13 million in "Series B" financing for Minneapolis-based ClickSwitch, which automates changes in direct deposits and recurring payments for financial institutions' account holders.
"Tempo is reinventing electronics manufacturing by putting software automation at the center of what they do," Ventures partner Sri Chandrasekar and a Tempo board member, said in a statement. "Tempo's interconnected 'smart' factory is modernizing the manufacturing process, which allows them to deliver a far superior customer experience. We see considerable market opportunity for Tempo, and we are pleased to support their continued growth."
Last year, Tempo opened the 42,000-square-foot factory referenced by Chandrasekar, in San Francisco's Design District, and released a number of software updates that it said will allow electrical engineers to significantly expedite the design, testing and roll-out of their products.
"Our customers have told us that they view our software-first approach to manufacturing as transformative for their ability to bring products to market faster," Tempo CEO Jeff McAlvay said in a statement. "This investment will help us drive software development and accelerate the growth of our team to deliver greater benefits to our customers and advance the future of manufacturing."
Related to the investment, Point72 Ventures head Matthew Granade will join the Tempo board.
ClickSwitch said that it will use its funding to accelerate its product "roadmap," expand executive leadership and add more people to its software development and sales teams.
"One of the biggest pain points around opening a new bank account is switching your direct deposit, which requires paperwork and involving your HR department," Point72 partner Tripp Shriner said in a statement. "ClickSwitch has solved a true problem for consumers and financial services providers by seamlessly enabling people to redirect their paycheck to a new bank, improving customer economics and dramatically reducing friction and increasing choice for customers."
Last month, Ventures announced that it was co-leading an $11 million investment in Manhattan-based financial-technology firm Extend.
Ventures was founded in May 2016, about two-and-a-half years after Cohen founded the main investment firm that he runs today, Stamford-based Point72 Asset Management. Ventures' launch responded to the large volume of deals pitched to Cohen.
"In the U.S., there are a lot of venture capital firms, so you have to think carefully about how you differentiate yourself," Granade said in an interview last year. "Of all the venture capital firms in the world, we probably have the best set of relationships into the financial sector of anyone."
In total, Ventures has made more than 30 investments.
Ventures has offices at Point72 Asset Management's headquarters at 72 Cummings Point Road, but it operates separately. Its insights, however, are shared with Asset Management.
Point72 Asset Management moved into hedge fund management last year.
In January 2016, Cohen was banned for two years from supervising hedge funds as part of a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission connected to allegations that he failed to properly monitor a former portfolio manager convicted of insider trading.

Eurovision 2016 aired on Saturday night and as we predicted, it was full of sass from presenters and, probably even more hilariously, the public. Tying into this years theme of 'coming together', what perhaps made Eurovision 2016 so great were the people from all over Europe and (increasingly) the world – Australia and America, we're looking at you – who gathered together on their sofas with no other motive than to live tweet their collective glee and, let's face it, sometimes harsh verdicts on the night's various goings-on.
From members of the public who didn't know what 'Eurovision' was and why it was trending, to those who couldn't get over the bizarre costumes, here's our roundup of the tweets that kept us laughing the entire night. Enjoy!
For some, the celebrations started early…
