Mario Carey Realty has strengthened its team of agents ahead of what it believes will be a period of accelerated growth in the luxury property market spawned by new offerings locally, including Baha Mar.
Dana Pinder, who has more than seven years experience and recently joined the local firm, believes that the $3.5-billion Baha Mar resort and residential project has “amazing” untapped potential.
“It is a common phenomenon that those farther away are quicker to appreciate what those closer to home do not yet see in their own back yard,” says Pinder.
Pinder says that when the resort was first promoted overseas there was “instantaneous” interest in places such as London, Dubai and Beijing.
Baha Mar has reportedly taken 50 deposits on million-dollar-plus offerings in the first round of sales.
With economic woes still hounding other second-home destinations in Europe, Pinder believes The Bahamas is perfectly positioned.
“With several countries including Greece, Spain, Italy and France either on the brink of financial disaster or threatening to raise taxes to remain solvent, a tax neutral country like The Bahamas becomes even more attractive,” she says.

Carnitine is found in large quantities in red meat, fish, chicken and milk, while vegetables and grains contain small amounts of this nutrient.
Carnitine is a vitamin-like nutrient (it is sometimes known as vitamin BT) and is essential for energy production and fat metabolism. Carnitine is not technically an amino acid, but because of the structural similarities it is normally classed as one. It is available as D-carnitine, L-carnitine, DL-carnitine as well as acetyl-l-carnitine, but with L-carnitine being the most popular type. L-Carnitine is synthesized from the essential amino acids lysine and methionine (enough vitamin B1, thiamine, and B6, pyridoxine, must be available for this to take place). Primarily, carnitine deficiency occurs because of a genetic defect preventing carnitine transport and this may result in confusion, heart pains, muscular weakness, and obesity.
Carnitine's major metabolic role is associated with the transport of long chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membranes (as well as for the removal of short-chain organic acids from the mitochondria), therefore stimulating the oxidation of these substrates for metabolic energy. It helps to prevent fatty build-up in areas such as the heart and liver, and may reduce the risk of poor fat metabolism in those with diabetes, as well as the risk of heart problems. Carnitine has also been shown to improve the antioxidant effect of vitamins C and E. Esters of carnitine are thought to have pharmacological value, by virtue of their antioxidant properties and ability to deliver readily oxidizable carbon units to mitochondria, in chronic disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and myocardial dysfunction in angina.
Acetyl-l-carnitine is of great interest because it has been shown to counteract several physiological and pathological modifications typical of the brain-ageing processes. In particular, it has been demonstrated that it can counteract the age-dependent reduction of several receptors in the central nervous system of animals, such as the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) receptors and neurotransmitters, thereby enhancing the efficiency of synaptic transmission, which is considerably slowed down by ageing and appears to reverse age-associated deficits in cellular function, in part by increasing cellular ATP production.

It’s Monday, and while I want to just crawl back into bed after working this weekend (I’m a nurse, so weekends are pretty much irrelevant), I’m so happy that I took time this weekend to make something yummy, filling, and nutritious so that when I need a snack or something to make my heart happy, it’s right in the fridge! Apple season may be long over, but I found myself with some apples that were just not fresh enough to eat, but great for baking. That’s why we have this delicious loaf!
Spray loaf pan with coconut oil. First, take your apple cider vinegar and mix with almond milk. Let that sit for 10 minutes (it gives the loaf a buttery like flavor). Then, do the flax eggs (mix flax seeds with water according to the instructions).
Peel and chop apples, pour maple syrup and lemon juice over chopped apples. Mix, and let sit while prepping the rest of the loaf. Get the rest of the dry ingredients together and sift. Mix the wet ingredients together. Pour wet into dry, and blend for about 2 minutes until a buttery texture is obtained. (MMMM).
Let cook 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Use a toothpick about 1/2 way through to see how wet the texture is.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
Let me know if you try by using the hashtag #beettherainbow. Please comment below!
I topped this with almond butter and dark chocolate chips. DIVINE.
Looks delicious! I’ve never seen a recipe with quinoa flour before!
This sounds delicious!! It would make a good dessert!!
Thank you, Chelsey! It’s a great dessert for sure as it has the perfect hint of sweetness. Thanks for stopping by!!
Yum! This looks delicious. Where do you suggest getting the quinoa flour? I have everything else to make this except that!
I usually buy Bob’s Red Mill quinoa flour at my local Shop Rite! Any specialty grocery store such as Whole Foods would have it, but I think white flour, gluten free flour, or paleo flour would also work just fine!

A thorough SEO Audit is essential to ensuring a website is adhering to current best practices and procedures. Healthy websites benefit by maintaining their web presence and organic search results while struggling websites typically notice drastic improvements in page rankings.
An SEO Audit analyzes the technical structure of a website, checking to ensure that the site map, architecture, navigation and performance make it accessible and indexable. The website's ranking factors are also considered based on current, relevant content, competitiveness and search engine penalties. A final actionable report is issued outlining distinct, achievable priorities and a future wish list to improve SEO practices.
On Page Optimization is a set of techniques used to increase website rankings in search engine results as well as to improve overall readability. Its role is to support relevant content by making it more visible to search engines and interesting to readers.
Every webpage needs a strong title tag and clear Meta description since this is the clickable headline and two lines of text that appear on search results. Websites win the click by making these sections interesting yet informative. Pages that include Meta tags, HTML tags, properly placed keywords and relevant outbound links also tend to perform better in search rankings.
Keyword analysis is determining which exact words appear most often in the questions that your target audience enters into their online searches. Keywords with the highest rankings are those that people use the most frequently when searching, and by utilizing these keywords on your website's landing page, the website gains more traffic from all search engines to attract more potential customers and sales.
Keywords are especially valuable when other websites haven't already overused them because they have less competition in search-engine result rankings. Without a thorough keyword analysis beforehand of which keywords are most relevant to that website, the content of a webpage is unlikely to capture public interest.
Internal links help the user navigate between two pages on the same domain. Internal linking can provide organization and help users browse through the pages on a website. Additionally, internal link building is one method of optimizing a website for search engines.
A navigable structure of internal links can help search engines see and list all of the content-rich pages on a website. If search engines are not able to use the main navigation to access all of the pages on a website, it is unlikely that those pages of content will be listed by search engines.
Google Analytics integration refers to applying the popular Internet traffic service to a personal website, phone system, or something else for the purpose of keeping track of user activity. Understanding user activity promotes changes that can boost leads, sales, and profit.
Integrating Analytics into a blog or company site allows owners to view the number of visitors to certain pages. Integrating the same service into a corporate phone system displays phone records in the form of an Analytics report, after installing the required third-party software or hardware. Basic integration into a website refers to the initial installation via coding or scripts. Some people refer to integration as using Analytics with a compatible service, such as Google AdWords.
Google+ Local provides a variety of information about shops, eateries, service providers and other businesses. When people search for nearby products or services, this data normally appears above the standard results. It includes ratings, reviews, contact details and hours. Google also displays a street map that identifies each firm's location.
Companies often benefit from creating or updating business profiles on Google+ Local. This boosts their visibility in search results and makes it easier for potential clients to contact them. It's particularly important for small enterprises that focus on serving nearby customers, such as book stores, hair salons and real estate agencies.
Link building is the practice of increasing the amount of inbound links to a website for the purposes of search-engine optimization (SEO). While the amount of links once played a crucial role, search-engine algorithms have grown in complexity in recent years. They are now better able to look for legitimate mentions of a website and check the authority of the source. It was once possible to use unethical methods to spam forums and blogs with links, but those days are over.
The intelligence of web crawlers has dramatically increased since the 1990s, which suggests it will continue to increase. Quality inbound links are now required to ensure high-ranking search results, and the system will become even more sophisticated in the future.
Many websites contain technical errors that cause problems when search engine spiders crawl their pages. These flaws may exist in HTML codes, robots.txt instructions, URLs or other Web page components. For example, broken links can trigger 404 errors during crawl sessions. Such problems also include missing META tags, excessive numbers of links and robots.txt files that block spiders.
Search marketers and webmasters often diagnose technical SEO issues by running specialized software that scans websites for errors. After identifying the mistakes that need to be fixed, these professionals modify or add the necessary codes. This can produce a substantial increase in search engine traffic.
Google Webmaster Tools shows the overall health of your site. It will list any errors that need fixing, pages that need corrections and problems that Google has crawling your site. It also shows details of your web traffic. It’s an essential part of seo and we will monitor the data in Webmaster Tools for your website so that any errors that arise can be fixed quickly before they create any issues.
Co-citation is an advanced seo practice whereby we look at the content on your website and link out to other relevant, high quality sites that complement your content. This shows the search engines that your site is part of a ‘good neighbourhood’ and therefore more trustworthy.
An XML sitemap is a map of your website showing all the pages, it is not seen by any visitors.. It is very simple and is just for the search engines to use to see which pages they should crawl and index. Despite being simple, it is very important that it is constructed correctly so that the search engines crawl through your website without any errors.
We will write and distribute a web based press release for your business and website. The release will be distributed to Google News, Yahoo News and many top news outlets.
Each Month you will receive a rich, easy to read monthly ranking report, showing the rank of your main keywords in Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Lockjaws are red piranha-like fish that inhabit the waters of Crocodile Isle and Donkey Kong Island.
Lockjaws are found in almost all underwater levels of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. If Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong swim too close to a Lockjaw, the fish clamps its jaws for a few seconds and then lunge at the Kongs, trying to take a bite out of them. Lockjaws can only be defeated with help from Enguarde the Swordfish. They start out attacking slow on the early levels, but they'll attack at a faster speed as the player advances through the game.
Lockjaws also appear in Donkey Kong Land 2. In the game their attack strategy is the same as the one used in Donkey Kong Country 2. A Lockjaw is shown on the cover of the game, attempting to attack Diddy, Dixie, and Glimmer the Angler Fish.
A pink version of Lockjaw called Snapjaw appears in two of Donkey Kong Country 2's levels. Snapjaws will follow the Kongs throughout these levels and there is no way to defeat them.
Lockjaws make a reappearance in the Game Boy Advance game, DK: King of Swing. Here, they are rather weaker, capable of being defeated by simply being bashed into by Donkey Kong. Lockjaws also appear in DK: Jungle Climber, where they simply attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by biting them.
Lockjaws also appear in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast as rare enemies only found on DK Jungle Falls and DK Jungle Sunset. Here they attack players by jumping out of the water and attempt to bite them. There are also electrified variants of Lockjaws. Both of them can be defeated in one hit, though the electrified Lockjaw will also significantly slow down a player unless that player was invincible.

Say kids, what time is it? It’s Godzilland time! YAAAAYYY!!
Wait, what the frak is Godzilland? Godzilland was a morning show for the kiddies that aired in Japan around the time Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 came out. Besides that, I know nothing about the show except for this sample episode that will get documented here. There is little to no information about this show anywhere (at least in English) so join TarsTarkas.NET as we sail into uncharted territory! March of Godzilla 4 had to have some crazy surprise, now didn’t it?
All of those Mechagodzillas probably mean that film either is about to or just came out. The inclusion of Moguera might indicate they already are working on SpaceGodzilla, but might not as SpaceGodzilla is MIA in the opening credits.
The top Kanji translate to “bouhan” which means “an exciting adventure” And Godzilland sure is!
Here is our host, I think his first name is supposed to be Russell but I might be wrong.
They are the Godzilla Chicks (a name I made up for them) and in the beginning Russell asks them questions from a pile of cards.
Holy Godzilla vs. Bambi, Batman!
President Skroob – Salute! Hail, Skroob! We all hail Skroob, and it looks like the Japanese do as well, because part of the plot of this Story Arc is lifted from Spaceballs! Unfortunately, Godzilla does not fight a giant robotic maid, but we do have an air shield, and the people beneath it lose all their air. Also, the Secret of Godzilla Island is revealed, A new warship is unveiled, and the plot moves towards the final battle as we hit the next to last Story Arc. Anyone new should head over to Story Arc 1, everyone else get to reading. And may the Schwartz be with you….
Misato (Kaori Aso) – The new monster doctor who is dedicated to her craft. Works hard, argues with G-Guard Commander, and flies Medical Jet Jaguar around all the time.

We’ll also list any new monster match-ups that weren’t in any film but now exist thanks to this series, such as Black Mechagodzilla fighting Gigan or something. The R2 Japanese DVD release is unsubtitled, so most of what is going on will be educated guesses thanks to our limited Japanese speaking ability. But here at TarsTarkas.NET we don’t need no stinking subtitles!
Spies are not cool. Unless they are James Bond, Spy vs. Spy, dead Bothan spies, or Bart Fargo. Okay, maybe spies are cool. So of course spies will factor into the story of Godzilla Island, because when you think plastic monsters, you think spies. Camero goes undercover into G-Guard HQ, Lucas gets ignored, and we all learn a lesson to not accept random packages from the Earth’s Government. Earth’s Government is like Nigerian Bank Transfers – Stay away! But we got some monster fights, anyway. So let’s hop to it! Newbies hop to Godzilla Island Story Arc 1, the rest of us can laugh at the N3wbs and start reading away.

When prices form pictures on charts, you can obtain realistic objectives for later moves. One of the most reliable chart formations is the head-and-shoulders top or bottom. This easily recognizable chart pattern signals a major turn in trend.
The main advantage of the head-and-shoulders pattern is it gives you a clear-cut objective of the price move after breaking out of the formation. Measure the price distance between the head and the neckline and add it to the price where the neckline is broken. This projects the minimum objective. Although the head-and-shoulders gives no time projection, it predicts a very strong trend in the future.
In most cases, a head-and-shoulders formation will be symmetrical, with the left and right shoulders equally developed. Although the neckline doesn't have to be horizontal, the most reliable formations stray only a little.
Flags and pennants are consolidation patterns which give objectives for further moves.
As the formation develops, price action in an uptrending market will look like a flag flying from a flagpole as prices tend to form a parallelogram after a quick, steep upmove. Flags "fly at half-staff." The more vertical the flagpole, the better.
A price objective is obtained by measuring the flagpole and adding it to the breakout point of the formation. The flagpole should begin at the point from which it broke away from a previous congestion area, or from important support or resistance lines. Flags in a downtrending market look like they are defying gravity and slant upward.
A pennant also starts with a nearly vertical price rise or fall. But, instead of having equal move reactions in the consolidation phase like a flag, pennant reactions gradually decrease to form short uptrend and downtrend lines from the flagpole.
The same measuring tools used in flags are used in pennants. Add the length of the flagpole to the breakout point to get the minimum objective. Remember, flags and pennants are usually continuation patterns in an overall trend which resumes after the breakout of the consolidation area.
Also, the coil formation, or symmetrical triangle, appears while prices trade in continually narrower ranges, forming uptrend and downtrend lines. This pattern doesn't tell you much about the direction of the next move. After breaking one of the trendlines, the objective is found by adding the width of the coil's base to the breakout point.
The formation gets its name from the way prices contract and suddenly spring out of this pattern like a tight coil spring. One caution about this formation: It's best if prices break out of the formation while halfway to three-quarters of the way to the triangle's apex. If prices reach the apex, a strong move in either direction is less likely.
Ascending and descending triangles are similar to coils but are much better at predicting the direction prices will take. Prices should break to the flat side of the triangle.
Price objectives from ascending and descending triangles can be obtained two ways. The easiest is to add the length of the left side of the triangle to the triangle's flat side.
Another method of projecting price is to draw a line parallel to the sloping line from the beginning of the triangle. Expect prices to rise or fall out of the triangle formation until they reach this parallel line.
In the lesson on trends, we mentioned double and triple tops and bottoms. These formations also provide us with objectives. Once a double bottom is completed, prices should rise at least as far as the distance from the bottom of the "W" to the breakout point.
A double bottom is confirmed when prices close above the center of the "W" formation. This is referred to as the breakout. The difference from the bottom of the formation to the top gives a price objective. Targets for price declines from double tops are figured the same way.
Often, prices will retest the breakout point after completing the formation. After a double top is completed, prices may briefly rebound to test the resistance, which is the same point where the original double top was completed.


text: As we embark upon this journey called life many of us encounter obstacles through which we learn a deeper understanding of ourselves. In my experience, astrology has opened my eyes to many of my gifts as well as my shortcomings. Working with essential oils, herbs, foods and various forms of exercise has helped immensely in balancing my intensely passionate makeup. We are all very unique and our needs vary over a wide range of activities and nutrients. What is good for one may be destructive for the other. Today I want to embark upon a series of blogs involving astrological signs and essential oils. I decided to start with the first sign or the sign that introduces spring in the seasonal year. This signals rebirth and renewal and thus the start of the zodiac. Coincidentally I myself have my Sun in the fiercely driven fire sign of Aries. I know first hand just how impatient, assertive and willful the energy can become for those born between March 21st and April 19th. Those individuals born with a different Sun Sign but who may also have a lot of planets in Aries in their birth chart will also find this energy quite familiar. First we need to understand that each sign governs a particular region of the body and for the Aries ram this is the head. Aries when unbalanced will typically experience headaches, stress related fatigue and eyestrain. An Arian is prone to accidents involving the face and scalp because of their headstrong ways and a bad habit of leaping before looking. In order to temper the mental fatigue, Peppermint essential oil should be used regularly during a scalp massage or while shampooing. The cooling and refreshing aroma helps to ease any excess heat in the body and encourages rejuvenation. Mars, Aries ruling planet, is that of the warrior and tends to increase stamina as well as aggression. Peppermint essential oil helps reduce intensity and over assertive attitudes so that a sense of calm replaces impatience. Lets face it, the independent and pioneering Aries type is happiest when setting foot in uncharted territory and Peppermint essential oil increases one sense of creativity, helping the Arian to get those juices flowing in the right direction. For those of you with highly fiery constitutions, don’t hesitate to visit the spa for a luxurious Peppermint inspired neck and scalp massage. The cooling vapors are sure to revive an over heated body in no time!

Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) released American Patients First, a report billed as “The Trump Administration Blueprint to Lower Drug Prices and Reduce Out-of-Pocket Costs.” This administration’s blueprint offers a thoughtful diagnosis of U.S. drug pricing along with the unintended consequences and warped incentives of our drug channel system.
The report also proposes a very long list of more than 50 regulatory and legislative fixes. It therefore doesn’t translate to quick action or simple sound bites. Many people are discounting the plan as no big deal and therefore underestimating how radically the system could change.
Below, I review some of its more radical notions—and highlight why the document's ideas pose substantial long-term risks for drug channel companies and their profit models. I also examine proposed changes for modernizing the Medicare Part D program and discuss two popular but ineffective ideas that were omitted from the document. While I don’t cover it in this article, I suspect changes to the Medicare Part B program may arrive soon.
The blueprint avoids facile diagnoses and simplistic solutions. It therefore looked on Friday like a weak political move. However, I expect last Friday’s announcement will mark the start of many coming changes.

The profit outlook for its distribution business was lower than Wall Street’s expectations, due partly to what management termed “customer and product mix.” Below, I offer my take on the three interrelated mix changes that challenge wholesalers' profits from the growth of specialty pharmacy drugs.
Wholesalers have been trying to alter their conventional pricing and contracting approaches to address these pressures, though it’s not clear how successful these efforts have been. The specialty boom may prove to be a mixed blessing for wholesalers.

Regarding the black letter law, assaultive offenses are defined under Chapter 22 of the Texas Penal Code as offenses committed against the person. Per § 22.01, assault occurs when an individual intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes serious injury to another person, threatens another person with injury, or causes contact that they know or should reasonably know would be considered offensive. While many states differentiate the intention to cause injury with the actual causing of the injury as assault and battery, the state of Texas categorizes them as the same under assaultive offenses law.
Call John L. Venza Jr. today at (281) 817-8737 to schedule your initial consultation or fill out our free case evaluation here.
What does it mean to cause "bodily injury?"
That does not mean that they are punished equally. To cause bodily injury to another is considered a Class A misdemeanor. And the term "bodily injury" in Texas is really a misnomer, as all that is required for bodily injury to be proven is this--that the complainant was made to feel any amount of pain or discomfort.
Illustratively, and insanely, if you pinch somebody and thereby cause that person pain, and if you are not acting in self-defense or defense of a third party when you do it, you could be arrested, charged, and convicted of the Class A misdemeanor of assault causes bodily injury. For the sake of the illustration, you could be subjected to a fine of up to $4,000 and up to one year in the county jail for something as insignificant as this. As you can see, the howling of angry complainants has influenced our state legislature to enact assault law in Texas that would be laughable if it weren't so serious for the poor people charged under this ill-conceived and unfair law.
Why are these types of cases dealt with so harshly?
When you have been accused of assault, you are facing a type of charge that the District Attorney's office and the public takes very seriously, although not always for the best reasons. In any assault case, there is or was a person claiming to have been injured by the Defendant. Our system of justice expects that when someone has been hurt, punishment will be dealt out.
These cases often involve an angry accuser who makes a point out of telling the DA to throw the book at the Defendant. Unlike in "victim-less" offenses, such as a non-accident DWI, the DA's office often has an irate complainant to deal with. The political need to cater to and placate the complainant sometimes leads to cases being prosecuted that never should have resulted in an arrest to begin with.
When does it become a felony offense?
Additionally, there are circumstances in which what would be a Class A assault (assault causes bodily injury) is elevated to a third degree felony.
The difference between a Class A assault, in which bodily injury has been caused, and a Class C assault, in which the complainant has been touched in a manner claimed to be offensive or provocative, is often small and up for debate.
Punishments are outlined in Chapter 12 of the Penal Code. While there are many gray areas, and each case is ruled by its own set of specific circumstances, this is the basic outline for what can be expected.
Just because you have been charged with assault does not mean that you will be convicted. There is a long way between the arrest and the courthouse, and by working with an experienced Fort Bend criminal lawyer, you can take the necessary steps toward protecting your legal rights. For example, one defense that can be advanced on your behalf is self-defense. To properly demonstrate self-defense, you need to show that you were threatened and had a real fear that you would be harmed.
An example would be drinking at a bar when a stranger comes up to you shouting and swinging fists—if you hit back out of fear, you may be able to successfully argue that you only hit the other individual out of self-defense. Other arguments that could be made would be defense of others or of property. Still, even if these are proven, there are limitations on how much force can be used: the force used must be proportionate to the threat.
Not only have I successfully employed self-defense theories where applicable for my clients' benefit, but I am a recognized authority statewide on the topic. My writing on the issue of self-defense led to a scholarly article published statewide for other lawyers to learn from.
Hire the Law Office of John L. Venza, Jr.
As a senior prosecutor of a felony District Court in Texas, I was heavily involved in the prosecution of violent crimes. This hands-on experience gave me a unique perspective as a criminal attorney into how these types of cases are investigated and prosecuted, something that can put me a step ahead in most cases.
I work with prosecutors, some being my former peers, to negotiate the best deal. If there is no agreement on a plea bargain for the violent crime charge, then you can count on me to be your advocate in litigating your case in the courtroom. Your rights, liberties, and reputation are at stake. Let me help you defend them.

Everybody's favourite non-Avenger in Marvel Studios' The Avengers, lives on to fight another day in the TV screens.
Agent Phil Coulson, Clark Gregg's much-beloved character in Marvel Studios and director Joss Whedon's ' box office juggernaut, The Avengers, has been at the unexpected end of mounting adoration from fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe. We have earlier covered on the stunning bust of the Android Avenger, The Vision, with the likeliness of actor Clark Gregg, fuelling many unfounded rumours of the fan-favourite character's return as The Vision with a RoboCop-like origins. While we here at The Daily Zombies knew it as a fact that this is much too outrageous to be true, we have to admit the prospect of that sounds promising. Nevertheless, all speculations ended today.
(Jeph) Loeb said Marvel had something special for Gregg, something that's never been seen before. It featured a trailer of Coulson's moments starting with "Iron Man."
"An Honest Man. An Honorable Man. A Man of S.H.I.E.L.D." the trailer read interspersed between some of Coulson's best moments. "We thank him for his bravery."
The reel went to his heroic death scene. "We remember his Legacy. Always," said the trailer. "Rest in Peace, Agent Phil Coulson 1969 - 2012." At the end of the trailer, Gregg looked to be crying.
An emotional Gregg took the stage.
"I grew up loving comics," he said. "One of the greatest things about it is that I got to connect with people like you, so thank you for being apart of it."
The crowd began chanting "COULSON! COULSON!"
"I just want to say because I won't have another chance to ask this -- 'Have you heard of a Life Model Decoy?'" asked Coulson. "I don't know if you've read the theories from the people on Twitter, but there's this guy called the Vision. I don't know if you saw the UK version of the DVD, but the blade wasn't coming out of his chest. There's a tesseract!
"All around the globe you can see graffiti, bumper stickers that say 'Coulson Lives!' You have the power, Jeph! I feel like we could make this happen right now!"
"This is not like Tinkerbell, you don't get to clap!" said Loeb.
And then, suddenly, Joss Whedon showed up onscreen amongst applause.
Loeb confirmed Clark Gregg is the first member cast in Whedon's "S.H.I.E.L.D."
And we stand more hyped than ever before for S.H.I.E.L.D., the TV series set to be executive produced by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell and Jeph Loeb. Joss Whedon will also co-write the pilot of the series with Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen.
Uncertain over what Clark Gregg mentioned on the global phenomenon known as "Coulson Lives"? Courtesy of WeLoveFine, here are a couple of t-shirt designs telling of the character's popularity among the fans.

Los Angeles-based Inferno Distribution has optioned Tara Ison's romantic novel The List, which was published in March and centres on a dysfunctional couple's desperate final act.
The pair make a list of 10 ideal dates before they agree to part amicably. However as the dates progress they begin to see each other in a new light.
Inferno partner Bill Johnson will produce with partner Jim Seibel serving as executive producer.
'We immediately saw the commercial potential in this concept and we feel like anyone who has ever broken up with someone or been involved in a love/hate relationship will be able to relate to this story,' Johnson said.
'As Inferno continues to solidify itself not only as a financier but a production company, we intend to keep focusing on development opportunities like The List,' Seibel said. The project is currently out to writers.
Inferno is in post-production on The Women starring Annette Bening, Meg Ryan and Eva Mendes, and is preparing to shoot Richard Gere in the drama remake Hachiko: A Dog's Story.
Inferno chiefs Bill Johnson and Jim Siebel have taken more than $30m in multiple territory sales on key AFM titles Arabian Nights, The Killer Elite and The Kids Are All Right.

In 2002, an UNRWA ambulance driver was arrested by Israeli security services. The man, Nidal Nazzal, admitted to transporting weapons and explosives to Hamas terrorists using his UN-branded ambulance.
The agency promised to crack down on employees who openly work with terrorists.
And yet a decade later, during the 2014 war between Hamas and Israel, terrorists were caught on video storing weapons and launching rockets from UNRWA buildings.

Is it possible to send superluminal messages using quantum entanglement? There’s a good body of work that says: “no”. But like most rules, these were made to be side-stepped.
Although such communication is prohibited in the [no communication theorem], some argue that superluminal communication could be achieved via quantum entanglement using other methods that don’t rely on cloning a quantum system. One suggested method would use an ensemble of entangled particles to transmit information, similar to a type of quantum eraser experiments.
Birgit Dopfer, a student of Anton Zeilinger’s, has performed an experiment which seems to make possible superluminal communication through an unexpected collective behavior of two beams of entangled photons, one of which passes through a double-slit, utilising the creation of a distance interference pattern as bit 0 and the lack of a distance interference pattern as bit 1 (or vice versa), without any other classical channel. Since it is a collective and probabilistic phenomenon, no quantum information about the single particles is cloned and, accordingly, the no cloning theorem remains inviolate.
Physicist John G. Cramer at the University of Washington is attempting to replicate Dopfer’s experiment and demonstrate whether or not it can produce superluminal communication.
I’m always glad that people are working on mind-bending science. In this case, there’s an important point being left out: what does “instantaneous” mean?
The thing that makes people get all brain-melty about quantum entanglement is that it says, basically, two particles are described by a single wavefunction. Supposedly in QM, “making an observation” results in “collapsing the wavefunction”. So when you make an observation on what we shallowly think of as “one of the pair”, that’s actually an observation on the combined wavefunction, which causes the whole thing to collapse all at once: instantaneously, regardless of the spatial extent of the wavefunction. But right now, there’s no theory that integrates QM with relativity. So, on the mega-scale, we have relativity telling us all kinds of weird things about the nature of timelines with respect to different reference frames (i.e. how different observers observe time differently), but in QM the conception of TIME is actually classical. So in QM, now is just now; there’s no other math describing how it could be anything else. Thus, when you observe one particle and “collapse the wave function”, that happens “now”, which (in the absence of any further elaboration, in QM) means it happens simultaneously regardless of distance.
But the thing is, the lack of integration of QM with what we know from relativity about mega-scale behavior of time and simultaneity is a gap in our understanding. It means that we actually don’t have the theoretical tools to make real scientific predictions about what would happen with entanglement over very long distances. In the absence of real scientific tools, we’re left with “simultaneous” which leads to “instantaneous”. But everyone is so obsessed with quantum weirdness these days that they’ve forgotten that relativity tells us that there is no such thing as an absolute chronological reference frame. Once you look at it like that, it becomes clear that instantaneous communication is impossible not because of some limitation on communication, but simply because relativity has already established that there is no way of defining what it would mean for two things to happen at the same time. In other words, we might want to think that we built a machine for instantaneous communication over long distances, but different observers in different reference frames would see different chronological relationships between the two sides of the communication device.
I just double-checked my understanding here by looking at the “time dilation” article on wikipedia, which refers to the “twin paradox” article. Also try “relativity of simultaneity”. Consider the simplest case, with no acceleration (so, inertial reference frames only; keeping us in the domain of Special Relativity). Two spaceships are zooming past each other in opposite directions, at constant speed. They both have accurate clocks which they will use to try to figure out whether their quantum entanglement communication is instantaneous or not. Also, I’m sitting still (i.e. each ship sees me moving at half the velocity of the other one; there is no such thing as “absolutely at rest”, there are only different relative inertial reference frames) right at the point where they will pass each other.
When they pass, we all look at each other and see that our clocks all read zero (we planned it like that). At that moment, I take the collection of entangled particles and give half of them to one ship and half of them to the other ship. So now the ships are ready to start their communications.
In each ship, when they look at the other ship, they see the clock running slowly. So, say that when the ship 1 clock reads 1 year, they send the “instantaneous” signal to ship 2. But what does that mean? Does that mean that Ship 2 receives the signal when their clock reads 1 year? From the reference frame of Ship 1, the clock on Ship 2 reads 1 year much later, because of time dilation. So Ship 1 has a clock that reads 1 year, and they send the “instantaneous” quantum message, and Ship 2 receives it when *their* clock reads 1 year. But ship 1 already took a look at Ship 2’s clock and saw that it was running at (say) half speed. That means that Ship 1 knows that the time when Ship 2’s clock reads 1 year, is actually 2 years out. So Ship 1 sends their signal, and then they would expect Ship 2 to receive it when Ship 2’s clock reads 1 year, which is actually when Ship 1’s clock reads 2 years. So that certainly doesn’t feel instantaneous to the people on Ship 1 who sent the message; it’s pretty useless, in fact.
Even worse, let’s say hypothetically that what we expect to happen is that Ship 1 sends a signal when Ship 1’s clock reads 1 year, and then they expect Ship 2 to receive it “instantaneously”, which means as far as Ship 1 is concerned, they expect Ship 2 to receive it when Ship 2’s clock reads whatever Ship 1 thinks it should be reading “right now”. Namely, 1/2 year. So now say Ship 2 receives the signal when their clock reads 1/2 year, and sends a return signal. Then, by the same logic, they expect Ship 1 to receive the return signal when Ship 1’s clock reads 1/4 year! And if you set each clock to “ping” mode, basically you get a convergent infinite series all the way back to zero.
We may or may not have a problem with the idea of information moving back in time, but that’s not what’s at issue here. The issue is that it’s clear that this also fails to be a useful “instantaneous” communication device.
Again, the problem is that the very nature of space-time itself is that there is NO SUCH THING as objective simultaneity over long distances. And in the absence of an integrated theory of relativistic quantum mechanics, we simply don’t know what we ought to expect to happen with the entangled wavefunction over space-travel-relevant distances.
Of course, it’s still an interesting question, even though we don’t know what’s “supposed” to happen, because we can postulate various possible options and consider what each one leads to. Having just gone through this just now, I’d say that I think the most likely option is the first one I described, at least for situations of special relativity. That means that it effectively works as if each entangled particle has its own internal clock, and that’s how they know when “the same time” is. That means that Ship 1 sends a message when their clock (and their particle’s imaginary internal clocks) reads 1 year, and Ship 2 receives it when their clock reads 1 year. What this means is that although the external observer (“me”, the way I set this up) sees the communication as instantaneous, each ship actually sees the communication taking a long time from their reference frames. So basically, this leads to a result where it never leads to anything other than an amusing curiosity where (just as with the experiments already being done) we can externally observe simultaneity, but it doesn’t do us any good when we try to get involved in it for communication purposes.
If we take this one step further, and try to figure out what happens in a more practical situation involving General Relativity, things get even weirder and less satisfying. Also I think the “particles internal clocks” heuristic breaks down.
Imagine we have home, which is an inertial reference frame (more or less), and then we build a very fast ship to colonize a distant planet. We synchronize our clocks and then the ship takes off on a round trip. When the ship gets back, their clocks only measure the passage of 1 year, but our clocks measure the passage of (say) 100 years. So say we know it takes them 1/2 year of their subjective time to reach the destination, but it takes 50 years of our subjective time. If we wait 50 years for them to reach the destination, and we send a signal, then if you use the “particles internal clocks” heuristic, then the ship doesn’t receive the signal until 99 years after the mission is over! That’s not very useful. On the other hand, using the same heuristic, if the ship sends a signal when they land at the destination, it will be received when the home clocks read 6 months, which is pretty exciting. It would be a really great “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” moment, but it would also be an absolutely one-way communication channel. If we tried to reply, they wouldn’t receive it for a very long time.
I actually suspect that the “internal clock” heuristic would break down under general relativity (i.e. the non-intertial-reference frame scenario described here) and something else would happen, but I have no idea what it would be. In any case, the point holds that space-time itself does not contain any way of defining what “instantaneous” means over long distances.
My point here is not that I think I can solve the problem of whether or not quantum entanglement allows “instantaneous” communication. My point here is merely that the word “instantaneous” doesn’t mean what ordinary usage thinks it means, on relativistic scales, and in fact there is no single correct way of interpreting that word, in the situations that we actually care about. Therefore, if we want to get anywhere in the discussion of “instantaneous communication”, we have to start by being scientifically precise about what we are considering. Relativity gives us the tools to be precise about space-time relationships over long distances; but the way it ends up working out is kind of unsatisfactory for the simple sci-fi “ainsible” idea we were hoping for, because there isn’t any possible definition of “instantaneous” that works out that way.
Postscript: some of you might be wondering why I’m blogging about this, when I’m supposed to be a psychologist researching the neuroscience of meditation. The short answer is that one of the main things that has caught my attention in the course of my graduate education up to now, is the problem of the psychology of scientists themselves. In particular, when scientists are and are not aware of the assumptions they are making. In this case since I am a recovering Caltech physicist I knew enough to recognize some important assumptions that seemed to mainly go unacknowledged, and wanted to write them out.
Previous Post What would a useful theory of neuroscience look like?
This whole “collapsing the wave function” thingy is so remarkably silly I’m surprised anyone takes QM seriously. My gut tells me any (even a marginal one) GUT will have a ‘speed limit’ on the speed of the wave function collapse if that whole construct even survives the unification movement.
In my opinion, the “collapsing the wave function” bit seems weird because it is over-interpreted in popular science. Quantum mechanics gives equations that allow us to calculate probability distributions for observations; it doesn’t really say anything about the ontological process of going from the math to the observation. It does say that once you know where something is, your new set of propagating probability distributions is different than what it would have been if you didn’t know where it was. But what else would you expect?
It seems communication is only relevant on one’s own timeline, if I ask you a question and within moments I get you answer, then that is relevant to me. I want to feel you are standing next to me even if I am on earth and you are on mars. This is what we need to discover how to do, all the other is just mechanics.
Of course that’s what we want to do, my point is that it’s impossible, and not just because of some technological limitation that we might overcome with sufficient cleverness. It’s not just a matter of discovering how to control tachyons or whatever. The problem is that the statement of goal is itself meaningless because of the very nature of space and time itself. You’d have to throw ALL of relativity out the window for that to make sense at all, and that’s just not going to happen.

While planning ahead is good, and while I laud the efforts of all who support the seed bank, a seed cold and safe up above the arctic circle doesn’t do much good in the here and now. As Jesus reminds us, it remains a single seed. But if it falls into the ground and dies….
It is Palm Sunday, the beginning of the week when we remember that like the seed, like the grain of wheat, Jesus went down into the dust and died, so that he might bring life. His words create a striking image and form a familiar phrase. That seed captures the nature of sacrifice.
I often wonder about the nature of sacrifice. The roots of the word mean “to make sacred.” Perhaps making a sacrifice is the highest of human valor. I think about parents sacrificing their own meal so that their children can eat. I think about soldiers in platoons sacrificing their own lives so that their comrades will live. I think about those people and wonder what makes them able to enter into scarcity or death for the sake of someone else?
If you know the person you make the sacrifice for, maybe it is because of love. If you don’t know the person, maybe you make the sacrifice because of some ideal: for your country, for freedom, for the future. One thing that all who sacrifice have in common is this: someone who has power gives up that power for the sake of the powerless. A parent might have the power of food. A soldier might have the power of being in the right place at the right time. Jesus had the power of God.
If Jesus had not fallen to the ground in death, how would things be different? Would there be another route to salvation? There is debate among Christians about the nature of all the things that happened in Holy Week. Was it all divinely ordained? Was humanity so utterly stained and filthy that God wanted to kill us off, and instead, Jesus stepped in and was killed instead? That’s one idea. It’s not one I think much of, to tell you the truth. There’s not a lot of love in that God, and not a lot of hope for humanity.
At the other end of things, some believe it was all about human politics and power. Jesus threatened the religious authorities by challenging their long held beliefs, and Jesus mocked Rome by claiming that he, and not Caesar, was lord. So he was found guilty in a rigged trial and executed by the state as a common criminal. Historically, that makes sense. But it lacks something of the divine, something that would enable the death of an innocent man to create a spiritual force that still shapes the world today.
But why did Jesus go so willingly into all of this? At any time, he could have stopped talking, stopped making these outrageous claims. He could have run away, gone into hiding. He could have remained that single grain of wheat, and not done anything to incite the authorities, played it safe. He could have called down those legions of angels that his heavenly Father had. But he didn’t. He walked, eyes wide open, into the accusations and the sentence. He sacrificed himself. For what?
For us? For the likes of you and me? For the likes of his fellow peasants who lived so sparsely under Roman oppression? For the future? Did he die so that we might have this religion of Christianity?
I’ve been thinking about the nature of sacrifice this week too as I’ve read and been horrified by the events in Syria, so I think it’s important to note the difference between the death of innocent people and the death of one willing to make a sacrifice. I still cannot look at the images of the victims of the sarin attack. It breaks my heart into a million tiny pieces. That father with the twin babies…. They were sacrificed for reasons I do not fully understand. They were sacrificed for something that had to do with power. The one in power made no sacrifice that hurt him, that cost him. Those poor people were powerless to stop it.
As we think about power and sacrifice, as we think about the power of individuals and nations, we look too to the beginning of today’s story, to Jesus, with all of his power, entering the city of Jerusalem, the capital of what was once the kingdom of Israel.
Jesus enters this city for the last time, walking eyes wide open toward his death, and he is greeted by the crowd of followers who wave palm branches. That’s what they did back then in Israel – they waved palm branches as a sign of national pride, the way we might wave miniature American flags at a Fourth of July parade. They waved palms, an age-old symbol of the kingdom of Israel, because their king was entering his city. Rome used palms too, to signify military victory. Maybe the followers of Jesus who waved their palm branches at him that day did so not only to hail their king but also to thumb their noses at Rome.
They sweep in their king with branches of palm, a hope that indeed Jesus was coming into his own to win. They had expectations of their messiah, that he would conquer the oppressor with military might. It’s all there in that story and its symbols: victory, nation, power.
And Jesus will have none of it. He is there to make a sacrifice, not to win. He comes in peace, not in power. He will die; he will not survive.
That is the hard part of the story: that Jesus comes in peace to sacrifice himself.
Every year when the Palm Sunday service is over we collect whatever palms are still lying about. Usually I stick them in a corner of my office. I let them dry out. They get brown and brittle. Once that happens, I put them in a bag or a box until a few days before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, when these dried out old palm branches are burned and sifted and become the ashes which mark our foreheads for the Lenten journey.
It seems appropriate that this symbol of victory and nation becomes the symbol of humility and sacrifice. When we mark the foreheads of the congregation with ashes in the shape of the cross, we say these words: remember you are dust, and to dust you will return. Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies….
But this year I’d like to do something different with the palms. Frankly, it doesn’t take many palms to make enough ashes for a decade’s worth of Ash Wednesdays. We’re covered for a good long while.
I invite you, instead, to take a palm branch with you as you leave today, or if there aren’t enough full branches, to tear off a single leaf from a branch. Take it with you as you leave today. Think about those places near you that are in need of peace and healing. Think about those places that have been torn apart by violence or fear or hate, even here in Portland. Think about those places near you where there has been an innocent victim. Think about a place where there has been a death you mourn to this day or where a hurt happened that still pricks your heart.

The SV80ST Imaging System comes with a Stellarvue SV80ST-25SV with Stellarvue's proven 2.5" fully rotating focuser, 2" and 1.25" compression ring adapters, dual heavy duty American made CNC mounting rings, certified, extremely high Strehl optics, a C19 airline carry on case, and the Stellarvue SFF3-80 field flattener. This flattener converts the SV80ST into a wide field, full frame 480 mm f-6 astro graph. This is the wide field triplet to buy if you want to use a telescope both visually and with a full frame or smaller camera.
Fully multicoated apo triplet objective: The high Strehl, apochromatic triplet objective is triple-tested at Stellarvue to ensure that it performs perfectly. Lenses are better than .96 Strehl, better than our former Russian made lenses. We are now taking the time to provide interferometric test reports with each of our triplet refractors showing how the lens in your telescope actually performs. Hitting a Strehl ratio of at least .95 means your telescope will perform perfectly. These lenses rate even higher.
Each lens focuses light precisely and in addition the extreme broadband coatings on each surface enhance it even further. Using it visually, the stars appear vivid and the background, velvet black. Since these coatings transmit more than 99% in the visual spectrum and far above and below it, reflections seen on CCD images are eliminated. The relatively fast speed and high Strehl optics make the 80 apo an excellent wide field imaging telescope while the visual performance is simply stunning.
