Discussion in 'macOS' started by danb77, Nov 7, 2009.
I have a two year old MacBook, which I love. Recently (both before and after Snow Leopard Install), it has started to behave more sluggishly, in particular freezing up a lot in Safari and Mail.
In my windows days, I would need to periodicially erase and reinstall the operating system to avoid this kind of problem. My question - is this the solution here?
Any other tips for a snappy and speedy system?
If I do erase and install and recover my apps and prefs via time machine, is that likely to reintroduce whatever is causing the sluggishness?
Despite what some people here will try and tell you - a reinstall from scratch of OSX will help. I don't go more than 12 months without doing it.
Nope, don't bother. This is normal behavior for Snow Leopard. Use the beachball time to meditate about 10.6.2.
Some tips for Safari though. Defragment the cache, or do a Empty Cache from the Safari menu. If you don't use RSS, go into Safari Preferences, RSS, and set updates to Never. And Remove Now.
a reinstall from scratch of OSX will help. I don't go more than 12 months without doing it.
I just use iDefrag.. Much easier.
I love me a good reinstall. It's sort of a zen thing for me. I go through all my apps beforehand, and decide which to keep.
Of course, I always have a backup of my home folder laying around so I can copy some of my preferences and App Support files back. I don't really want to spend another five hours configuring Firefox the way I like it.
The trouble with an erase and re-installl is that it doesn't really solve anything. You could easily reintroduce whatever is causing the sluggishness when you reinstall your software.
I'd suggest putting it off a few days and run your Mac with Activity Monitor active. This way, you might see what's eating up CPU cycles before you nuke your hard drive. You might find the culprit, which could be an easier fix.
have you tried the usual stuff? (reset safari, repair permissions, zap p-ram... those usually work for me atleast).
The best way to get your macbook up to speed is to put in more ram.. Erasing and installing should be the latter measure after resetting the normal things.
Do you mind me asking what is taking up so much RAM in Activity Monitor???
Thanks for all the tips guys. I will hold fire on the reinstall for the moment. A RAM boost is probably the way to go.
Am I write to think that 2Gig is the max officially supported amount of RAM on a BlackBook from 2007?
I believe you can stick 2 x 2GB in, but only 3.3GB is available. This is meant to be marginally better than using a 1GB + 2GB, because of the matching sizes.
Personally, I did a clean install of Snow Leopard on my BlackBook (MacBook 2,1 with 2GB RAM), and it has never run faster.
I did a CCC (Carbon Copy Clone) of the Leopard install, formatted and installed Snow Leopard. Then manually installed the apps - after a 18 months use since the last clean install, I had quite a few apps that I simply didn't need.
If I needed to retrieve anything I could browse the CCC drive or boot into it, and it was exactly like being sat at the laptop before the install. Handy when some of my favourite apps didn't support Snow Leopard.
Mail.app loads so quickly (c.3500 messages in the inbox), and everything is running sweetly. The occassional Firefox crash is my only gripe.
Installing new RAM should zap the PRAM (right?) so it might be worth zapping it first just to know how that affects your computer. More RAM is always a good thing, but it would be good to know in advance.
it isnt. im having no problems with my clean install of sl. them problems only occur on upgrade.
Have you done basic maintenance stuff like running cron scripts, repairing permissions, clearing cache, make sure your file system/HDD is free of errors or even defragging?
This is a lie. I get regular beach-ballings on a clean install of SL. On multiple machines. Just because YOU don't get problems on your clean install, it does not mean NO-ONE will get problems with clean installs.
Obviously, all these people with 'no problems' are the members of Apple's Secret Snow Leopard Beta Test Squad.
And the people with the problems are all members of the Steve Ballmer Fan Club.
C'mon, admit it! Admit it!
Upgraded to SL. Never had a problem.
I'm new to mac's I'm afraid, having only bought mine in July. But I get your point, and don't worry, I don't mind speaking my mind when something is plainly rubbish.

2. The first and the only worthwhile inquiry is to know: “Who am I within this body-mind mechanism? What is this consciousness, this miracle of consciousness?” This miracle of awareness has to be discovered. You have to peel your being as one peels an onion. Go on peeling…. You will find layers within layers. And finally, when all the layers are discarded, eliminated, you will find in your hands pure nothingness, emptiness, SHUNYATA. That is your essential core, the center of the cyclone.
3. You have to learn meditation to enjoy your emptiness. And that is one of the greatest days in life — when a person starts enjoying emptiness, aloneness, nothingness.
4. Just finding that “I am nobody”… and that’s how existence is. What is a marigold flower? What is a rose? They are both nobodies. And we belong with them. Once this settles in you, the idea of nobodiness, silence starts descending on you. There is no idea, no picture — no Jesus Christ, no Krishna, no Buddha: You are utterly empty. And in this emptiness is the light. In this emptiness is enlightenment.
5. In English there is no right word, so you have to understand that we are using ‘meditation’ for dhyana. Dhyana means a state of being where there is no thought, no object, no dream, no desire, nothing — just emptiness. In that emptiness you come to know your self. You discover the truth. You discover your subjectivity. It is perfect silence.
6. The most strange thing about the mind is, if you become a watcher it starts disappearing. Just like the light disperses darkness, watchfulness disperses the mind, its thoughts, its whole paraphernalia. So meditation is simply watchfulness, awareness. And that reveals — it is nothing to do with inventing. It invents nothing; it simply discovers that which is there. And what is there? You enter and you find infinite emptiness, so tremendously beautiful, so silent, so full of light, so fragrant, that you have entered into the kingdom of God. In my words, you have entered into godliness.
7. No matter what, you are alone. And all the fiction that there may be somebody who is just made for you, there may be somebody who will fill this gap, this emptiness in you…. Nobody can do it; not because nobody wants to do it, no, everybody would love to do it, but it is just not possible in the very nature of things. And it is good, I repeat, that it is not possible in the very nature of things, because if it was possible then there would be no necessity for religion — no need of religion.
8. The desire to belong arises because you feel empty. In a crowd of any kind — political, religious — you forget your emptiness; the crowd fills you.
9. With me, you have only to lose; you cannot gain anything. You are in a game where you can only be a loser. You will have to lose your ego, you will have to lose your jealousy, you will have to lose your fear. You will have to lose all kinds of crap that you are filled with. You will have to be empty — and emptiness cannot claim the ego. There is no place in emptiness, in nothingness, for the ego. You can be with me, not for anything that is going to be profitable in the future; you can be here only for this moment.
10. Just as one peels an onion, peel your personality, layer by layer. Go on throwing those layers. New layers will be there, but finally a moment comes when the onion disappears and there is only emptiness in your hands. That moment is the moment of enlightenment. You cannot desire it, because desire adds another layer to your onion — and a far more dangerous layer than any other layer.
11. The master is already merged into existence. Merging into the master you are really merging with existence itself. The master functions only as a door, and a door is an emptiness; you pass through it. The master is the door to the beyond.
12. The energy of the cosmos is surrounding you. All that is needed is a certain emptiness in you. So the emptiness is good; don’t fill it by beliefs, don’t fill it again by another kind of god, another philosophy, some existentialism. Don’t fill it. Leave it clean and fresh, and go deeper. Soon you will find from both sides, from outside and inside, a tremendous rush of energy, a tremendous rush of consciousness. Then you disappear, you are almost flooded with the cosmos. You are so small and the cosmos is so vast. You suddenly disappear into it, and that disappearance is the ultimate experience of enlightenment. Then you know you were neither an outsider, nor an insider; you are one with existence. Other than oneness with existence, nothing is going to help you. But that oneness is so easy, so obvious. Just a little relaxation, just a little turning in — not much effort, not much disciplines, not much torture for yourself.
13. Man should be like a hollow bamboo, so that existence can pass through him. Man should be like a porous sponge— not hard— so that the doors and the windows of his being are open, and existence can pass from one end to another without any hindrance; in fact, finding anyone inside. The winds blow — they come in from one window and they go out from another window of his being. This emptiness is the highest bliss possible. But you are like a hard, unporous rock, or like a hard steel rod. Nothing passes through you. You resist everything. You don’t allow. You go on fighting on all sides and in all directions as if you are in a great war with existence. There is no war going on, you are simply befooled by yourself. Nobody is there to destroy you. The whole supports you; the whole is the very earth on which you are standing, the very sky in which you breathe, you live. In fact, you are not — only the whole is.
When one understands this, by and by one drops the inner hardness, there is no need for it. There is no enmity, the whole is friendly towards you. The whole cherishes you, loves you. Otherwise, why are you here? The whole brings you forth, like a tree is brought forth by the earth. The whole would like to participate in all your blessings, in all the celebrations that are possible. When you flower, the whole will flower through you; when you sing, the whole will sing through you; when you dance, the whole will dance with you. You are not separate.

Bruce Adolphe’s Dvorshock has one foot planted in history, and the other making strides into the future. The piece is a fantasia based on the powerful familiar theme from the last movement of Dvořák’s Symphony No.9, From the New World. The work begins in a musical mist in which fragments of the theme emerge and disappear. Gradually, the outline becomes discernible, the mist clears, and the entire melody finally manifests itself. Quickly, a new vitality takes over, and the inflections of New York— jazzy, confident, brash, and fun-loving—take Dvořák’s theme for a thrilling ride.
As the 45-piece orchestra plays, a performer wearing a VR headset will be traveling through and interacting with a virtual environment directed and created by maya + rouvelle. The audience will see the virtual world through the performer’s eyes via a projection on a screen above the orchestra—a kind of virtual reality cinema. The environments encountered by the performer will be based on iconic New York locations and events from different eras, reflecting the city’s past and creating a context in which to consider its present and future.
The concert centers around the idealism, energy, and potential that live at the heart of New York City. The projections depict the roller-coaster reality of urban life in all its glamour and grit. The use of virtual reality equipment allows us to integrate this outside world with that of the concert hall to create of a moment of simultaneous freedom from one’s circumstances and integration with them, not through argument, but through music, art, and feeling.
Adolphe, Maya, and Rouvelle explore New York not only as a home and historical location, but also as an idea. The audience is led into an idealized, “virtual” city: a Coney Island of the mind. New York promises unlimited potential; it energizes and inspires even while holding so many dreams at a perpetual, parallel distance. These concurrencies of past, present, and future; ideal and real, have long defined our beloved city and were very much in evidence around the turn of the 20th Century, at which time Dvořák witnessed waves of immigration and technological innovation reshaping the city.

The Hamburg-based PV service provider greentech GmbH & Cie. KG and the Asset Manager Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH from Frankfurt are deepening their cooperation in the field of commercial management of solar electricity systems. Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH currently operates a photovoltaic portfolio of over 230 MWp. greentech has specialised as a service provider for commercial and technical management and quality-assurance and income maximisation of photovoltaic systems. The company is in charge of the commercial management of the project companies of the photovoltaic portfolio of Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH.
greentech is also taking over the commercial management of Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH’s second solar fund, issued in 2013. Due to the long-standing cooperation with the Hamburg-based solar service provider in the management of the first PV Fund, Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH has also awarded greentech the commercial management of the second fund with 31.6 MWp. “greentech has proven to be a reliable partner in the commercial management of our photovoltaic electricity plants”, explains Manfred Kittelmann, CEO of Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH. “Our new photovoltaic fund allows us to build on existing interfaces and keep the processes efficient”.
greentech has increased its current service portfolio to over 420 MWp and more than 100 projects with the latest commission of Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH. Apart from pure commercial management, the company also offers technical management concepts for solar electricity plants. “Unlike most of our competitors who come mainly from the field of system construction and engineering, we specialise exclusively in the management of solar electricity plants as an independent service”, says Christian Bertsch-Engel, CEO of greentech. “Due to our high degree of specialisation we ensure high quality for our clients and realize economies of scale. We are pleased to be able to support Renewable Energy Capital Partners GmbH in the expansion of their photovoltaic portfolio”.

ANSWER: I will lower property taxes. We pay the highest property taxes in the U.S. I have lowered property taxes in local government.
I will repeal the income tax hike. Families are struggling to make ends meet. My opponent just raised income taxes on them by 32%.
I will support core services for those truly in need.
End Madigan’s corrupt one-party system.
ANSWER: All new and recent employees in 401 K plans.
Increase age when eligible except with police and fire.
Change the yearly cost of living increase to CPI from the current 3%.
Intend to make good on promises made unless money runs out and state becomes financially insolvent.
Taxpayers need to be treated fairly and not driven out of the state by the costs of unfunded and unrealistic pension promises.
All new and recent employees in 401 K plans.
Change the yearly cost of living increase to CPI.
QUESTION: Cook County and Chicago are on their way to paying a $13 hourly minimum wage. Many suburbs in the county, however, have opted out of the wage increase. Should Illinois raise its minimum wage from $8.25 an hour?
ANSWER: No. Increasing minimum wage destroys jobs. Best way to increases workers wages is to reduce taxes and allow small businesses to thrive. Example is after the recent federal tax decrease many workers received wage increases and bonuses. Competition for workers in a growing economy raises wages naturally and further stimulates the economy.
ANSWER: No. It is a gate way drug. It does not have a net positive effect on society. Not opposed to medical use if indicated. I am not in favor of severe criminal penalties for use.
QUESTION: Would you support more casinos in Illinois, including in Chicago? What about racinos? Please explain.
I would not oppose but would not count on them to increase state revenue. They may have an entertainment and tourist value but could also be detrimental to compulsive gamblers.
On racinos: Same as above.
ANSWER: Not only would I freeze property taxes but I would reduce them. It is not that hard to do. I have done it. I would work toward a 1 % of a home’s value property tax cap, which is the average in the US. In Illinois some home owners are paying more in property taxes than their mortgage payments. Those retired can’t afford to stay in the home they rose their families in. It’s not right.
With the rate people are fleeing Illinois we will have a difficult time supporting core services and pension obligations. If we lower property taxes, more people can afford to stay in Illinois resulting in more net revenue. More net revenue allows us to support those truly in need. Also, lower property taxes have been shown to increase home values. Homes are most people’s nest egg.
ANSWER: The education funding bill recently approved is flawed. It allows Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to get the same or more money compared to a previous year even if there are fewer students enrolled. It unfairly deploys resources from the suburban schools to the CPS.
ANSWER: Huge and growing problem. 99 people die of opioid overdose per day in US. Growing in DuPage county. We have developed an opioid task force at Elmhurst Hospital. I have been educating our local community groups about our program. Awareness, Education, intervention, alternative therapies, family and community support and follow up are all essential ingredients to reducing and hopefully eliminating the opioid problem.
ANSWER: Silencers are not the main problem related to gun issues. Reducing the sound, a gun makes can reduce hearing loss for sportsmen. Not sure of the benefit to restrict them. Gun still makes a loud noise with them.
ANSWER: Yes, I think there needs to be reasonable checks to make sure guns cannot be purchased by those who will do harm to others with them.
ANSWER: Yes, I don’t think the emotionally or mentally disturbed should even have guns.
QUESTION: What would you do to ensure the long-term viability of the state’s Medicaid program? Do you support continued Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act? Should the state continue on a path toward managed care for Medicaid beneficiaries?
ANSWER: More than 25 % of Illinoisans have Medicaid. That is too many for state taxpayers to afford to support. We need to reduce the expansion of Medicaid and limit it to those who truly need it. Should everyone be permitted to buy into Medicaid?
On Medicaid expansion: No. Many are abusing the system.
On managed care for Medicaid beneficiaries: Managed care done efficiently may increase quality and reduce costs in the long run. But has to be done right.
Should everyone be permitted to buy into Medicaid? Everyone should have access to healthcare. Medicaid should be for those who are truly in need and have no other alternative.
ANSWER: Give Illinois students a bigger discount compared students coming from out of state. Not give tax payer funded subsidizes to illegal immigrants but give them instead to the children of Illinois residents. Give in-state students a preference at our in-state schools like other states do for their students. After all, their parents have been paying Illinois taxes their whole life and should get a benefit of an affordable, quality education for their kids.
Does Illinois have too many state universities? I would have to look at the numbers of Illinois students who want to attend in Illinois but can not because others from out of state have taken the available spots. I would do a cost analysis of our state universities. Education of the next generation is the most important job we have to preserve our future.
QUESTION: Please list three of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s principles, or decisions he has made, with which you agree. Also, please list three of the governor’s principles, or decisions he has made, with which you disagree.
Try to reform the public pension systems.
Try to give tax relief to business and reduce regulations to retain and attract new businesses to Illinois.
Try to loosen the grip of Madigan’s corrupt one-party system which is destroying Illinois.
Making Illinois a Sanctuary State, violating federal laws and unfairly burdening Illinois tax payers with the huge costs.
Using money from the rest of the state to bail out the Chicago School System after corruption and bad decisions has made CPS close to insolvent. The redistribution of Illinois taxpayer money from the rest of the state to CPS will be to the detriment to the children outside of Chicago.
Supporting Taxpayer funded abortions for all 9 months of pregnancy on anybody who can travel to Illinois. An expense Illinois cannot afford to pay.

The legendary Kansas celebrated their 40th Anniversary in 2013, and the celebration is still continuing! Now Kansas are back on the road in 2019 with a further extension of their Point of Know Return Tour! They'll be touring their extensive catalogue, which includes AOR radio staples Carry on Wayward Son and Fight Fire with Fire, across North America, though sans band member and lead singer Steve Walsh who retired in 2014.
Though the band that has produced 14 studio albums and sold millions across the globe, they're certainly not taking it easy. Their mastery of progressive rock eclecticism, and styles as varied as boogie woogie and hair metal saw Kansas sitting pretty alongside other rock acts of the 1970s, such as Boston and Styx. The band's commercial breakthrough came with 1976's Leftoverture, which contained Carry on Wayward Son.

Canvas and fabric covered office buildings are structures that can be made of anything durable composing the main frame – such as carbon fibre, fibreglass, or steel. A canvas or fabric structure can be a great option for an unthinkable number of uses – they are structurally sound, resistant to fire, as well as protecting the inhabitants against the elements.
Structures such as these provide a wealth of both functionality and practicality. They tend to be constructed from a combination of both good and renewable material, and when complete, are extremely tight and resistant to weather that may otherwise have affected it – if you want to learn more about them then head over to https://absolutelycovered.ca.
In this article, we will take a look at five things that you should absolutely know about canvas and fabric covered buildings that might have an influence on whether or not you want to have one constructed, or may even prove useful in future to know about with them becoming quite commonplace. Canvas and fabric covered buildings are great in terms of their portability – they are often seen at “pop up” events, since they can be dismantled and erected all within the same day, and therefore within a short period of time – for this reason, they are particularly cost effective in terms of time.
So, what facts should you be aware of surrounding canvas and fabric covered buildings?
Speed of build – A lot of the time, fabric and canvas covered buildings tend to be used at events such as festivals, and are therefore very large as they are designed to house a number of stalls, outlets, or something similar. Because of this, some heavy machinery could be required to construct and move them into place. However, they are still tremendously quick when compared to traditional builds from traditional materials. Although they are not necessarily comparable, they provide an excellent solution to a number of problems since traditional structures would be no use for shelter that is required on a temporary basis.
Space within – There are no internal structures that support fabric builds, and therefore no restrictions inside in terms of space and what can be put in them once they have been erected. Whatever space is there after construction can be used!
Element-resistance – Fabric and canvas covered buildings are composed of strong materials and are therefore designed with harsh elements in mind. They are often able to withstand high winds, heavy rains, and in general harsh stormy conditions. Not only normal weather conditions – they are also designed to be able to hold a large weight of snow on top should this ever be an issue.
Permanence – whilst fabric covered buildings are ideal for temporary events, they are also often used on a more permanent basis due to their rugged and well-built nature. An advantage of using one on a semi-permanent basis is that should you ever need to dismantle at short notice, this is easily doable.
Variety of uses – finally, due to the aforementioned facts, the number of uses that these types of buildings can cater for is almost infinite. They can be used for almost anything you could possibly imagine.

Who doesn’t love quiche? Show of hands, please. Nobody? Thought so, because quiche is delicious! Quiches are hearty, great with any filling, and they’re delicious warm from the oven and cold the next day. And so easy! All you need is some pastry, some eggs, cheese, milk or cream, some filling, and an oven! When we make quiche for dinner, we tend to stuff it with a plethora of seemingly-random ingredients that normal quiches don’t usually have (trust me, though, when I say that a leek and shoarma quiche, spiced with curry powder, is absolutely delicious!) because that’s the beauty of them. They’re like giant, pastry-encased everything-but-the-kitchen-sink omelettes.
But what I always love the most about the way we make quiche? The pastry. We use puff pastry; it’s airy and buttery and less hard than a crust. It crumbles so nicely and almost melts on your tongue.
These small quiches were made in a large muffin tin. They’re about the size of a 1 cup measurement-cup, so the perfect size for a small meal with a salad on the side (or, if you’re like me and Tim, you omit the salad and just eat two) or as a hearty, delicious lunch in case you have leftovers! Not only do you get lots of crisp little pastry bites by overlapping the puff pastry squares, it gives your quiches a cute flower-like edge, and everyone knows that cuteness ups the deliciousness factor of any type of food by about ten thousand.
We filled them with leeks and ham cubes, but anything goes, really. We’ve also made them with shredded zucchini (just make sure you squeeze out as much liquid of the shredded zucchini as you can otherwise they might get soggy!) and salmon and broccoli florets also sounds delicious.
Preheat your oven to 225 °C and grease your muffin tin well, both inside the cups and around the rims. When using frozen puff pastry, lay them out to soften up and defrost.
Halve the leeks lengthwise and chop relatively fine. Quickly sauté the leeks and ham cubes until the leek is soft but hasn’t lost its bite. Set aside to let cool a bit.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well and mix in the crème fraiche. Stir in the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Add the leek and ham mixture to the bowl, squeeze in the garlic through a garlic press, mix well, and set aside.
When your puff pastry has softened, take two squares and place one on top of the other at an angle, creating an eight-pointed star. Place over the muffin tin cup and gently push down into the cup, lifting and easing it along with your fingers as you go, essentially creating a puff pastry cup. Poke some holes in the bottom and put in the oven to bake for 8 minutes.
Take the half-baked pastry out of the oven, gently push down the puffed-up pastry with the back of a spoon, and fill the cups with the mixture. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until firm.

Sammy still seeming like something just isn't quite right, continues to sleep more than normal.
Sam slept well last night and Sophia and I slept terrible. Not sure if it is because she is in an unfamiliar environment or not but she was up frequently. I had brought the pack N play but she wouldn't sleep in it, so I ended up putting Sam in it and he slept very well.
Today was a day of just spending quality time with Grammie. We played play dough with her, and watched Snow White:-), Sam really enjoyed watching the movie with her it was so cute.

Ado Jorio concludes the session on Carbon by discussing Millie's influence on the study of carbon in Brazil.
We’re at the end of this carbon section. However, I cannot let it finish without showing you the impact that Millie had on Brazilian science.
You can see, here — 178 papers with Brazilian coauthors and over 21,000 citations. Also, the first nanotube conference that was organized in Brazil had a very nice push from Millie.
Of course, we are happy about all of this. Antonio showed you that UFC was the first Brazilian university to give Millie an honorary degree. We (UFMG) were second.
And we are very happy that we could do it. We are thankful that we could honor Millie. Here is another example of Millie's impact: our university is 90 years old (although, at that time, it was only 85), we’d had eight Honoris Causa, but Millie was the first woman. Again, she breaks the glass ceiling.
Another example — remember I told you about the “magic touch of Millie”? This guy was the president of our university. After Millie touched him, he became the Minister of Science.
We know what is science, don’t we, Millie, but do we know what is art? I've read experts saying art is something so full of meaning that it does not belong anymore to the creator. The concept that was into creation is no longer important because art is transcendent. It belongs to humanity. Art is something that people over and over time will discuss, but they will never close up the meaning. Times change, people change, and the piece of art remains, always meaningful, always teaching us something, always inspiring human being. Like everybody, Millie, I have so many questions to ask you, so many things to tell you. But the more I think the more they all seem useless because you, Millie, you are a piece of art.
Where did we come from? From carbon!
What are we? We are carbon!
But where are we going now?
I have this cartoon. The first one here, the graphenium, was, from my understanding, proposed by Sir Novoselov, one of the Nobel Prize Laureate for graphene. But if we were to create a cartoon based on Millie’s work, we’d have more than graphenium! We would have graphitium, fullerenium, and nanotubium — we would have everything!
I have one more story that I think represents Millie.
This is a map of part of the Amazon region. I do some research on carbon deposits in the Amazon, and there’s one aspect that's very interesting.
You probably heard about the Incas and the construction of Machu Picchu. For a long time, anthropologists assumed that the sophistication of a culture is directly related to the quality of its ruins. If you have great ruins, it means it was a very fancy civilization. And in the Amazon, there are no ruins. So we were always taught, when we were kids, that the indigenous Brazilians were just lazy. You know? Just grab a banana. And you eat it. And that's it.
But then, at some point, anthropologists found that there are regions in the Amazon where the indigenous population purposely altered the soil, in a very sophisticated way, in order to improve their agriculture. Now, remember, this is 1,000 years ago! Consider farming in Europe, 1,000 years ago — farmers lacked chemical fertilizers and were often too poor to afford the animals needed to produce manure, all of which combined to create a massive problem of soil exhaustion. But the Brazilians had already solved this problem!
My point is that changing the soil in order to improve agriculture and solve the problem of soil exhaustion was quite sophisticated for the time. Can you guess what they were doing to alter the soil? They were burning material to add carbon to the soil!
So I am very touched by this science. You know, it's agriculture, materials science, anthropology — everything put together.
But when I showed this to Millie, Millie found it wonderful. She put me in contact with people that are doing archeology at MIT, et cetera, et cetera.
This sort of encouragement was nothing new. She worked this way every time.
This slide is the answer to the last question: Where are we going?
Well, we’re going to carbon — specifically, conferences about carbon!
Here is the last nanotube conference, which we organized in Brazil. We were hoping to have Millie there, but, sadly, she passed away before it took place. We decided that no group picture of an NT conference would be quite right without Millie, so we printed out a poster of Millie’s face and placed it in our group photo, to honor her and keep her with us.
Marianne has offered to hang the poster in Gene’s bedroom so that it’s the first thing he sees every morning and the last thing he sees, before bed. That way, Gene can keep Millie with him, the same way we did at the carbon conference.
Millie didn’t just give us jobs or attention or edits to our papers. She created a carbon family of collaborators. Millie gave us so many connections, so many friends. She created a community. This is something we really have to thank her for.
Now, although we thank Millie a lot, we also have to thank Millie's family. We also have to thank MIT. And we also have to thank the United States for sharing Millie with everybody. Thank you, to all of them, and thank you to all of you, for being here, today.

Before writing any tests you need to set up your development environment by installing a few tools and configuring one or two files.
This blog post is based on Windows platform using Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager).
Karma is the testing framework from the AngularJS team at Google, it was formerly known as Testacular (good thing they changed that name).
Enough of the introductions, time for the fun stuff. First a caveat, due to the endless variations of developer environments, the steps outlined here might need a few adjustments. Things like system variables and paths to certain files may cause errors on your computer.
The Jasmine framework allows you to create test suites using specs. When applying this to an Angular project the advantages of Dependency Injection become crystal clear.
A typical karma.conf.js looks like the code below, and is generated automatically when you run the karma init command from terminal or command prompt (cmd.exe in Windows).
Lines 13 – 26 above include paths to all relevant files for your unit tests. Starting with required libraries for your application, then your application files and then the unit test spec files.
A quick test can be implemented by saving the code below in a file named example.spec.js in the js/tests folder (see line 26 above). Execute the command karma start from the command prompt.
For testing AngularJS, you need a little more Jasmine code. As an illustration, take the bare bones mainCtrl controller in the ng-app myApp. It has one scope variable myData which is array. We can test for the length of the array or simply test that the variable has been defined.
In the unit test below, first you create a describe block for the myApp app. And then load the module using beforeEach. Then you have another describe block for the controller and this includes another beforeEach method with built in directives $controller and $rootScope injected using inject.

And now we have a potential target: parts of the genome that are found within all 100 strains of sequenced cold viruses.
If knowing your enemy is half the battle, we may yet defeat the common cold. A paper published last April in Science detailed how geneticists sequenced the RNA from 100 strains of rhinovirus—all the known types of the leading cause of the cold.
Pulmonologist Stephen Liggett of the University of Maryland School of Medicine says his team found regions of the genome that are similar across all strains. Those sequences, presumably essential to survival, are prime targets for new drugs. Equally notable are the bits of RNA that differ, which may explain why some bugs are nastier than others.
Rhinoviruses can instigate asthma or trigger severe wheezing episodes in asthmatics, but it is unclear whether only certain strains of the virus are to blame. Looking at large numbers of rhinovirus genomes may provide answers. “Just saying it’s rhinovirus is not sufficient, because there is so much diversity,” Liggett says.
And don’t throw out your tissues just yet: No one knows how to defeat any of the strains, and Liggett’s group believes there are many more to be identified. The team is now sequencing 3,000 samples collected from patients at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Every month, I like to perform a dividend portfolio update. There’s two reasons why I like to track my investments. The obvious reason is to do it for myself. I like to see which stocks I’m buying and selling. I also love to watch my annual income increase on a monthly basis.
The other reason is I do it for my readers. I find that a lot of people are interested in the stocks that I follow and some love to ask me questions. The dividend growth community is a lovely and welcoming community and I hope it continues and makes a lot of investors financially stable. Sadly, I never learned anything about investing while in school. It was something that i had to pick up by reading articles online. I’m finding that still reigns true as a lot of college graduates come out of college with a job, but no idea on what to do with their money. Let’s do our part in helping them become dividend growth investors!
And now, on with the update!

Ever candid about his feelings, soul singer Sam Smith held nothing back on the subject of his weight loss in a recent 60 Minutes Australia interview.
Considerably raw, unedited, and easily accessible when singing of love, yearning, and loneliness across the multiple Top 40 ballads that comprise his debut album, In The Lonely Hour, it's unsurprising that Smith's lifelong struggle with weight tugs at the heart. The natural quiver and warble in his voice, alone, makes anyone susceptible to his visceral sentimentality.
"If someone calls me fat, that effects me way more than someone calling me f*****. I think just because I've accepted that [my sexuality], if someone calls me a f*****, it's like, I am gay and I'm proud to be gay so there's no issues there. If someone calls you fat, it's like, that's something I want to change."
Startling. It's incredible to think that the burden of Smith's perceived weight "problem," for him, is graver than fending off homophobic epithets and slurs.
Watching Smith accept such an easy, progressive nonchalance towards sexuality, but an almost brutally inflexible stance on body image is puzzling. This could be due to his generation's forward-thinking approach to coming-out narratives — and/or the reputed cutthroat physical standards endemic of the gay male community. What's clear is that as a man, Smith is inordinately upfront with his insecurities surrounding his body.
Meanwhile, the salacious, body-shaming tabloid headlines that haunt female celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson or Kelly Clarkson aren't plaguing Smith. Obsessive coverage of celebrity weight fluctuation is generally relegated to monitoring famous women, with numerous critics gawking at and making comments about Clarkson's post-pregnancy body. And so Smith is able to talk about his shape on his own terms — he actively invites his Instagram followers to comment about his recent 14 pound weight loss. Posting the wonders of famed celebrity nutritionist Amelia Freer or shots of him in the gym, Smith hardly hides from the public as he evolves. In fact, even when accepting one of his many Grammy awards a few months ago, Smith paused in what could possibly be the biggest moment of the young singer's life to mention his struggle with dieting amidst his heartfelt acceptance speech. Applause quickly followed.
Of course, scrutiny doesn't always evade famous men struggling with body issues — as Robert Kardashian's weight gain and subsequent spiraling became a major plot line on a recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians proves. In one episode, Kim could be seen screaming at her mother to stop enabling her younger brother financially and demanding the matriarch organize an intervention, while Khloe tearfully asked Robert to seek help. Robert had long been a source of ridicule in the tabloids, and has completely shrunk from the public eye — the 27-year old even avoiding Kimye's over-the-top wedding ceremony last year.
And while no one wants Smith, or any person for that matter, to feel a similar type of anxiety over his or her weight, it is interesting to note how male privilege can paint a different tale of how weight loss is perceived. It, unlike any of Smith's popular songs, doesn't necessarily sound like a sob story.

Police on patrol in Frankfurt airport.
Vietnamese ambassador to Turkey Nguyen The Cuong was held at a Frankfurt airport for around two hours as he did not declare US$20,000 as per local regulations there.
Cuong told Tuoi Tre that when he was on the way from Ankara (Turkey) to Hanoi to attend a meeting, he was held at a Frankfurt airport where he was in transit.
The diplomat added custom officials in Frankfurt seized $3,500 out of the $20,000 and they said “that is a deposit, not a fine and [I] can get it back”.
Cuong said he was not aware of a German regulation that flight passengers have to declare cash of a value exceeding EUR10,000.
The whole incident took place within around two hours, the ambassador added.
The diplomat complained about German authorities’ violation of Vienna Convention on diplomatic immunity. “They did not respect the Vienna Convention on diplomatic immunity. The Vietnamese Consulate at Frankfurt has timely reacted to this issue…,” he said.
According to Cuong, the $20,000 includes money that staff at the embassy gave him to send home for them and some money to support flood victims in Vietnam.

In the bay off Reykjavik, Iceland, commercial whaling meets commercial whale watching. Whaling vessels—sometimes with dead whales strapped to their sides—and tourist-laden whale-watching ships travel the same waters, occasionally at the same time.
The fin whale meat is exported to Japan, while the minke whale meat supplies the domestic seafood market. But how popular is a traditional dish of minke carpaccio or grilled minke with horseradish and mushrooms? Not very. At least with the locals. Some polls say fewer than five percent of Icelanders eat whale meat. So who is eating it?
