They even use twigs from the woods to cook their sausages at lunch time!

Faith A mental factor that functions principally to eliminate non-faith. Faith is a naturally virtuous mind that functions mainly to oppose the perception of faults in its observed object.

Father Tantra A Tantra that principally reveals methods for attaining the illusory body.
Feeling A mental factor that functions to experience pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral objects. See Understanding the Mind.
Field for Accumulating Merit Generally, the Three Jewels. Just as external seeds grow in a field of soil, so the virtuous internal seeds produced by virtuous actions grow in dependence upon Buddha Jewel, Dharma Jewel, and Sangha Jewel. Also known as `Field of Merit’.
Fire Deity The Deity to whom we make the burning offering, for example in the practice of Heruka. A Fire Deity can be either mundane or supramundane. Mundane Fire Deities are not real mundane beings but appear in the aspect of mundane beings.
Firm apprehension A mental factor that makes its primary mind apprehend its object firmly. See Understanding the Mind.
Five Buddha families See Buddha family.
Five delusions In the context of blessing the inner offering, the five delusions are: self-grasping, attachment, miserliness, jealousy, and confusion. See Guide to Dakini Land.
Five exalted wisdoms Buddha’s omniscient wisdom has five parts: (1) the exalted mirror-like wisdom, which perceives all phenomena simultaneously as a mirror reflects objects; (2) the exalted wisdom of equality, which realizes that all phenomena are equal in emptiness; (3) the exalted wisdom of individual realization, which realizes all individual phenomena directly; (4) the exalted wisdom of accomplishing activities, whose function is to accomplish all the activities of a Buddha; and (5) the exalted wisdom of the Dharmadhatu, which realizes the Dharmadhatu, the ultimate nature of all phenomena.
Five heinous actions These are the five worst negative actions: killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing a Foe Destroyer, drawing the blood of a Buddha with harmful intention, and causing division within the Sangha or Dharma community. Also known as the `five actions of immediate retribution’.
Five omniscient wisdoms See Five exalted wisdoms.
Five stages of completion stage In general, this refers to isolated speech, isolated mind, illusory body, clear light, and union. Sometimes it is used to refer to the five stages of blessing the self and so forth. See Tantric Grounds and Paths, Clear Light of Bliss, Mahamudra Tantra, and Essence of Vajrayana.
Foe Destroyer ‘Arhat’ in Sanskrit. A practitioner who has abandoned all delusions and their seeds by training on the spiritual paths, and who will never again be reborn in samsara. In this context, the term `Foe’ refers to the delusions. See also Hearer.
Forgetfulness A deluded mental factor that makes us forget a virtuous object. See Understanding the Mind.
Form See Form aggregate, Form that is a phenomena source, and Visual form.
Form aggregate Includes all the objects of the five sense awarenesses—all colors and shapes (visual form), sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile objects. A person’s form aggregate is his or her body.
Form Body The Enjoyment Body and the Emanation Body of a Buddha. The first is his or her subtle Form Body and the second, of which each Buddha manifests a countless number, are gross Form Bodies that are visible to ordinary beings. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune, Tantric Grounds and Paths, and Ocean of Nectar.
Form realm The environment of the gods who possess form.
Formless realm The environment of the gods who do not possess form.
Form that is a phenomena source Form that appears exclusively to mental awareness, such as a dream mountain that appears to a dream eye awareness. See also Phenomena source. See Tantric Grounds and Paths and Ocean of Nectar.
Fortunate Aeon The name given to this world age. It is so called because one thousand founding Buddhas will appear during this Aeon. Buddha Shakyamuni was the fourth and Buddha Maitreya will be the fifth. An Aeon in which no Buddhas appear is called a `Dark Aeon’.
Four classes of Tantra Buddha taught four classes of Tantra: Action (Sanskrit Kriya) Tantra, Performance (Sanskrit. Charya) Tantra, Yoga Tantra, and Highest Yoga (Sanskrit. Anuttarayoga) Tantra. Each of the four classes of Tantra contains its own special techniques for transforming sensual bliss into the path to enlightenment. See also Tantra. See Tantric Grounds and Paths.
Four complete purities A Tantric practice is one that possesses the four complete purities: (1) complete purity of place – the environment is seen as the mandala of the Deity; (2) complete purity of body – ordinary appearance of the body is prevented and the practitioner imagines that he or she possesses the body of a Deity; (3) complete purity of enjoyments – sense enjoyments are transformed into offerings to the Deity; and (4) complete purity of deeds – the practitioner regards all his or her actions as the actions of the Deity. See Great Treasury of Merit and Tantric Grounds and Paths.
Four fearlessnesses Special qualities of a Buddha. A fearlessness is an utterly firm, ultimate realization that is entirely free from fear in expounding Dharma. There are four types: (1) fearlessness in revealing the Dharma of definite emergence, (2) fearlessness in revealing the Dharma of overcoming obstructions, (3) fearlessness in revealing the Dharma of excellent abandonments, and (4) fearlessness in revealing the Dharma of excellent realizations. See Ocean of Nectar.
Four immeasurables Immeasurable equanimity, immeasurable love, immeasurable compassion, and immeasurable joy. So called because we practise them taking as our observed object all living beings whose number is immeasurable. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune and Ocean of Nectar.
Four joys Four stages of bliss that are generated in the generation and completion stages of Highest Yoga Tantra. See Clear Light of Bliss.
Four noble truths True sufferings, true origins, true cessations, and true paths. They are called `noble’ truths because they are supreme objects of meditation. Through meditation on these four objects, we can realize ultimate truth directly and thus become a noble, or Superior, being. Sometimes referred to as the `four truths of Superiors’. According to the Madhyamika-Prasangika school, there are two types of four noble truths: gross and subtle. This is because there are two types of self-grasping of persons, gross self-grasping of persons – grasping at a self-supporting, substantially existent person, and subtle self-grasping of persons – grasping at an inherently existent person. See also Sixteen characteristics of the four noble truths. See How to Solve Our Human Problems, Joyful Path of Good Fortune and Ocean of Nectar.
Four opponent powers Four powers that are essential for successful purification: the power of reliance, the power of regret, the power of the opponent force, and the power of promise. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune, The Bodhisattva Vow, and Meaningful to Behold.
Four protections Special qualities of a Buddha through which he or she is able to protect sentient beings from the four maras, or demons.
Four ways of gathering disciples The four ways of gathering disciples practised by Bodhisattvas are: (1) pleasing others by giving them material things or whatever they need; (2) teaching Dharma to lead others to liberation; (3) helping others in their Dharma practice by giving them encouragement; and (4) showing others a good example by always practising what we teach.
Functioning thing A phenomenon that is produced and disintegrates within a moment. Synonymous with impermanent phenomenon, thing, and product. See also Impermanent phenomenon.
Ganden `Tushita’ in Sanskrit, `Joyful Land’ in English. The Pure Land of Buddha Maitreya. Both Je Tsongkhapa and Atisha went to this Pure Land after they passed away. Also the name of the monastery in Tibet founded by Je Tsongkhapa, and of the special doctrine revealed by Je Tsongkhapa. See Heart Jewel.
Ganden Emanation Scripture See Kadam Emanation Scripture.
Ganden Lhagyäma See Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land.
Gändhavajra The emptiness of smell appearing in the form of an offering goddess. See Guide to Dakini Land.

Generation stage A realization of a creative yoga prior to attaining the actual completion stage, which is attained through the practice of bringing the three bodies into the path, in which one mentally generates oneself as a Tantric Deity and one’s surroundings as the Deity’s mandala. Meditation on generation stage is called a `creative yoga’ because its object is created, or generated, by correct imagination. See Tantric Grounds and Paths, Mahamudra Tantra, Guide to Dakini Land, and Essence of Vajrayana.
Generic image The appearing object of a conceptual mind. A generic image, or mental image, of an object is like a reflection of that object. Conceptual minds know their object through the appearance of a generic image of that object, not by seeing the object directly. The conceptual mind mistakes the generic image, or mental image, for the object itself. For example, if we think about our mother, an image of our mother appears to our conceptual mind, and it seems to that mind as if our mother herself is appearing. However, the object that principally appears to that mind is the generic image of our mother. This generic image appears to our mind through the mental exclusion of all objects that are not our mother. It is therefore the appearance of a non-non-mother. As such, like all generic images, it is a permanent phenomenon, whereas our mother herself is impermanent. See Heart of Wisdom and Understanding the Mind.
Geshe A title given by Kadampa monasteries to accomplished Buddhist scholars. Contracted form of the Tibetan `ge wai she nyen’, literally meaning `virtuous friend’.
Ghantapa A great Indian Mahasiddha and a lineage Guru in the Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini. See Guide to Dakini Land.
Giving A virtuous mental decision to give, or a bodily or verbal action of giving that is motivated by a virtuous state of mind. There are four types of giving: giving material things, giving Dharma, giving love, and giving fearlessness. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune and Meaningful to Behold.
God ‘Deva’ in Sanskrit. A being of the god realm, the highest of the six realms of samsara. There are many different types of god. Some are desire realm gods, while others are form or formless realm gods. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune.
Goddesses of the doorways The four Goddesses of the doorways are Kakase, literally ‘crow-faced one’; Ulukase, ‘owl-faced one’; Shönase, ‘dog-faced one’; and Shukarase, ‘pig-faced one’. Although they have human-shaped heads and ears, their names reflect the appearances of their faces, which are like a crow, like an owl, and so on, rather as if they are wearing masks.
Golden age A time when sentient beings have abundant merit and when Dharma activities flourish. It is contrasted with degenerate times.
Great compassion A mind wishing to protect all sentient beings from suffering. Generally there are three types: compassion observing sentient beings, compassion observing phenomena, and compassion observing the unobservable. The second is a great compassion induced by and accompanied by a realization of impermanence, and the third is a great compassion induced by and accompanied by a realization of emptiness. The first is a great compassion that is not qualified in either of these ways. See Eight Steps to Happiness, Universal Compassion, and Ocean of Nectar.
Great liberation Great enlightenment, or Buddhahood.
Great nirvana See Great liberation.
Great scope practitioner A spiritual practitioner who emphasizes attaining enlightenment for the benefit of others. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune.

See also Path/Spiritual path path. See Ocean of Nectar and Tantric Grounds and Paths.
Guhyasamaja A Highest Yoga Tantra Deity. See Great Treasury of Merit.
Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life A classic Mahayana Buddhist text composed by the great Indian Buddhist Yogi and scholar Shantideva, which presents all the practices of a Bodhisattva from the initial generation of bodhichitta through to the completion of the practice of the six perfections. For a translation, see Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life. For a full commentary, see Meaningful to Behold.
Guru See Root Guru and Spiritual Guide.
Guru yoga A special way of relying upon our Spiritual Guide in order to receive his or her blessings. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune, Great Treasury of Merit, and Heart Jewel.
Gyaltsabje (AD 1364-1432) One of the principal disciples of Je Tsongkhapa. See Great Treasury of Merit.
Gyalwa Ensäpa (AD 1505-1566) A great Yogi and Mahamudra lineage Guru who attained enlightenment in three years. See Great Treasury of Merit.
Happiness There are two types of happiness: mundane and supramundane. Mundane happiness is the limited happiness that can be found within samsara, such as the happiness of human beings and gods. Supramundane happiness is the pure happiness of liberation and enlightenment.
Harmfulness A deluded mental factor that wishes other sentient beings to suffer. See Understanding the Mind.
Hashang A Chinese monk of the twelfth century who propagated many wrong views in Tibet, including the view that the meaning of Buddha’s teachings on emptiness was that we should empty our mind of all conceptions and meditate on nothingness. He was publicly defeated in debate by Kamalashila and banished from Tibet. See Ocean of Nectar and Joyful Path of Good Fortune.
Hearer One of two types of Hinayana practitioner. Both Hearers and Solitary Conquerors are Hinayanists, but they differ in their motivation, behaviour, merit, and wisdom. In all these respects, Solitary Conquerors are superior to Hearers. Hearers are of eight types according to the level of delusions they have abandoned. (1) approachers to the accomplishment of a Stream Enterer, (2) abiders in the accomplishment of a Stream Enterer, (3) approachers to the accomplishment of a Once Returner, (4) abiders in the accomplishment of a Once Returner, (5) approachers to the accomplishment of a Never Returner, (6) abiders in the accomplishment of a Never Returner, (7) approachers to the accomplishment of a Foe Destroyer, and (8) abiders in the accomplishment of a Foe Destroyer. A Stream Enterer is on the path of seeing and will never again be reborn in the three lower realms; a Once Returner will return to the desire realm only once more; and a Never Returner will never again return to the desire realm. See Ocean of Nectar.
Heart channel wheel The channel wheel (Skt. chakra) at our heart. See Clear Light of Bliss and Tantric Grounds and Paths.
Heart Sutra One of several Perfection of Wisdom Sutras that Buddha taught. Although much shorter than the other Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, it contains explicitly or implicitly their entire meaning. Also known as the Essence of Wisdom Sutra. For a full commentary, see Heart of Wisdom.
Hell realm The lowest of the six realms of samsara. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune.
Heruka A principal Deity of Mother Tantra, who is the embodiment of indivisible bliss and emptiness. He has a blue-coloured body, four faces, and twelve arms, and embraces his consort Vajravarahi. See Essence of Vajrayana.
Hevajra A principal Deity of Mother Tantra. See Great Treasury of Merit.

Illusory body The subtle divine body that is principally developed from the indestructible wind. When a practitioner of Highest Yoga Tantra rises from the meditation of the isolated mind of ultimate example clear light, he or she attains a body that is not the same as his or her ordinary physical body. This new body is the illusory body. It has the same appearance as the body of the personal Deity of generation stage except that it is white in colour. It can be perceived only by those who have already attained an illusory body. See Clear Light of Bliss and Tantric Grounds and Paths.
Impermanent phenomenon Phenomena are either permanent or impermanent. `Impermanent’ means `momentary’; thus an impermanent phenomenon is a phenomenon that is produced and disintegrates within a moment. Synonyms of impermanent phenomenon are `functioning thing’, ‘thing’, and `product’. There are two types of impermanence: gross and subtle. Gross impermanence is any impermanence that can be seen by an ordinary sense awareness – for example the ageing and death of a sentient being. Subtle impermanence is the momentary disintegration of a functioning thing. See Heart of Wisdom.
Imprint There are two types of imprint: imprints of actions and imprints of delusions. Every action we perform leaves an imprint on the mental consciousness, and these imprints are karmic potentialities to experience certain effects in the future. The imprints left by delusions remain even after the delusions themselves have been abandoned, rather as the smell of garlic lingers in a container after the garlic has been removed. Imprints of delusions are obstructions to omniscience, and are completely abandoned only by Buddhas.
Imputation, mere According to the Madhyamika-Prasangika school, all phenomena are merely imputed by conception in dependence upon their basis of imputation. Therefore, they are mere imputation and do not exist from their own side in the least. See Heart of Wisdom and Ocean of Nectar.

These red and white drops do not separate until the time of death, when they open and allow the very subtle mind and its mounted wind to depart to the next life. See Tantric Grounds and Paths and Clear Light of Bliss.
Indra A worldly god. See Heart of Wisdom.
Inferential cognizer A completely reliable cognizer whose object is realized in direct dependence upon a conclusive reason. See Understanding the Mind.
Inferential valid cognizer A non-deceptive cognizer that realizes its hidden object by depending upon a conclusive reason. See Understanding the Mind.
Inherent existence An imagined mode of existence whereby phenomena are held to exist from their own side, independent of other phenomena. In reality, all phenomena lack or are empty of inherent existence because they depend upon their parts. See Heart of Wisdom and Ocean of Nectar.
Initial scope practitioner A spiritual practitioner who seeks the happiness of humans and gods. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune.

Intermediate scope practitioner A spiritual practitioner who emphasizes the attainment of his or her liberation from samsara. See Joyful Path of Good Fortune.

Investigation A mental factor that examines an object to gain an understanding of its gross nature. See Understanding the Mind.
Ishvara A god who abides in the Land of Controlling Emanations, the highest state of existence within the desire realm. Ishvara has limited, contaminated miracle powers that make him more powerful than other beings in the desire realm. If we entrust ourself to Ishvara we may receive some temporary benefit in this life, such as an increase in wealth or possessions, but wrathful Ishvara is the enemy of those who seek liberation and he interferes with their spiritual progress. He is therefore said to be a type of Devaputra mara.
Jealousy A deluded mental factor that feels displeasure when observing others’ enjoyments, good qualities, or good fortune. See Understanding the Mind.
Je Phabongkhapa (AD 1878-1941) A great Tibetan Lama who was an emanation of Heruka. Phabongkha Rinpoche was the holder of many lineages of Sutra and Secret Mantra. He was the root Guru of Yongdzin Trijang Dorjechang (Trijang Rinpoche).

Islamabad: Pakistan may take "decisive action" against all proscribed organisations, including Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM), and even withdraw its opposition to the move to list terror outfit's chief Masood Azhar in the UN Security Council terror list, according to a media report on Sunday.
The US, the UK and France on Wednesday moved a fresh proposal in the UN Security Council to designate Pakistan-based chief Azhar as a global terrorist, a listing that will subject him to global travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo.
In a major policy decision, Pakistan is set to take decisive action against all proscribed organisations as well as against the head of banned JeM, a senior security official familiar with the development quoted as saying by the Express Tribune.
It is not clear what specific action would be taken against Azhar but the official hinted that Pakistan may withdraw its opposition to the listing of JeM chief as global terrorist by the UN Security Council.
"The state has to decide whether individual is important or the larger national interest of the country," the official said when asked if Pakistan would no more oppose the UNSC action against Azhar.
The official, however, insisted that the move to take action against such individuals was taken before the Pulwama attack, the report said.
He also clarified Pakistan's decision to act decisively was taken not to give any "face saving" to India.
"We need to correct ourselves in our own national interests and not someone else's," the official was quoted as saying in the report.
The official further said that the Pakistani authorities had conducted investigations into the Pulwama terror attack on CRPF personnel in and found "no evidence whatsoever of any involvement of Pakistan or any organisation in it."
Stressing that the country's leadership was determined to take action against anyone found involved in the Pulwama attack, he said the dossier shared by India with Pakistan had nothing in it that suggested involvement of any Pakistani organisation.

Out of all the security and risks concerns that a small business can have, cyber security is also one of the major concerns for small businesses. Since it’s an online and digital world, where every company tries to keep their data online which is just not easy to put, its also secured and less time consuming. Anyone who is authorized to access the data, ca easily accesses all sort of information from the place where they and can have the information and contribute to the business. But cyber security is of the prime concerns for small sized businesses as they have limited resources, cyber security is really expensive to implement and also to make employees qualified enough to deal with the system. Cyber security management software takes huge effort to understand and implement. You have to have qualified and efficient number of people who can run it efficiently. But when it is very important for every size of businesses to have cyber security implemented to their systems, small size businesses also need to have cyber security which comes not as efficient as the expensive one is, but at least it makes easier for small business to get the work done what it is supposed to be. There are few major concerns while implementing cyber security for small businesses.
Since cyber security is very expensive itself. Small sized business owners should know where they are investing, what kind of cyber security software or system they are going to purchase, is it worth the need of their business nature?! After knowing the requirements of your business, search for the best vendors available in market for cyber security management with right price and right system. Cyber security is already a complicated subject for small to mid-sized businesses where they have to look very closely to their resources and to invest it accordingly.
Cyber security system is itself very complicated system for which company needs to have a qualified staff to deal with the system and to understand it better. Team should be well aware regarding any changes and update regarding cyber security that that is available in market and of that is the requirement of their business need as well. Large organizations have dedicated teams for cyber security management, but where small size businesses can barely afford cyber security system it is also very hard for them to hire a proper staff as well for implementing and taking forward the system. So, it’s a better deal for small sized businesses to train their already available team in an efficient way that they can perform well in their own capacities with the already available system to them.
There’s a strong bond and link between cyber security and risk as cyber security is one of the main components of risk that cannot being ignored which has important for overall risk exposure of an organization. First comp0any should know what are the possible risks that are available to their business. First you have identified the risk then they easy to manage them. In past, organizations have already risked losing their customers for having not so effective cyber security system.
There are three kinds of security threats that are available to every size of business but specifically to small size businesses, it’s a big challenge. Confidentially, integrity and data availability are three kinds of threats that are most likely to get attacked on cyber network. Whatever kind of information and data that is put online is matter high confidentiality. If you’re not having enough secured system, then your data is most likely to get hacked which is a biggest threat to any businesses. If the employees and data are not integrated with each other then there would lack of collaboration amongst the employees and getting information about the work and company. Availability of data is also one of the main concerns of online world. Data should be kept on real time basis so that management is having latest information all the and it would be also easier for both cyber security management and risk management to calculate risk on real time.
Regardless of having best cyber security in the world, if you’re not having qualified and efficient team who don’t understand the technicalities of system then there’s no point of investing so high on a system when there’s no proper usage of the system and work is not being how it is supposed to. Cyber security is one of the most effective tools that is available in market of which there are a lot of benefits that you can have if implemented and used skillfully. So, training for cyber security staff is a mandatory requirement to have better understanding of a system to use it more efficiently.

text: The foreword describes this book as "a classic of unprecedented insight into the structure of Paul's theology." Vos's basic thesis is that to unfold Paul's eschatology is to set forth his theology as a whole, not just his teaching on Christ's return. The author discusses the structure of Paul's eschatology, the interaction between his eschatology and his soteriology, and the religious and ethical motivation of his eschatology. This volume also discusses the coming of the Lord and its precursors, the man of sin, the resurrection, chiliasm, the judgment, and the eternal state. The Pauline Eschatology, originally published in 1930, includes a bibliography and an appendix on the eschatology of the Psalter.

The Intellectual Dark Web ladies and gentleman.
I was meeting with Sam Harris, a neuroscientist; Eric Weinstein, a mathematician and managing director of Thiel Capital; the commentator and comedian Dave Rubin; and their spouses in a Los Angeles restaurant to talk about how they were turned into heretics. A decade ago, they argued, when Donald Trump was still hosting “The Apprentice,” none of these observations would have been considered taboo.
Today, people like them who dare venture into this “There Be Dragons” territory on the intellectual map have met with outrage and derision — even, or perhaps especially, from people who pride themselves on openness.
Is the Intellectual Dark Web a cadre of free thinking intellectuals prepared to challenge orthodoxy? or is it a collection of contrarian tossers?
All those arguments boil down to "White hetero men don't get such a free ride any more, boo hiss". Otherwise it's as Timbo says, grunts from the park bench dressed up as intellectual arguments by people with narrow minds and good vocabularies.
Harris is touting a New York Times op-ed by David Reich arguing that “it is simply no longer possible to ignore average genetic differences among ‘races.’” Reich is careful in his claims about what is known as of yet. He says that “if scientists can be confident of anything, it is that whatever we currently believe about the genetic nature of differences among populations is most likely wrong” — a level of humility often absent in this discussion. He goes on to slam researchers who, discussing race and intelligence, claim “they know what those differences are and that they correspond to racist stereotypes.” I do not find this column as troubling as Harris seems to think I will.
The background to Harris’s shot at me is that last year, Harris had Charles Murray on his podcast. Murray is a popular conservative intellectual best known for co-writing The Bell Curve, which posited, in a controversial section, a genetic basis for the observed difference between black and white IQs.
Harris’s invitation came in the aftermath of Murray being shouted down, and his academic chaperone assaulted, as he tried to give an invited address on an unrelated topic at Middlebury College. The aftermath of the incident had made Murray a martyr for free speech, and Harris brought him on the show in part as a statement of disgust with the illiberalism that had greeted Murray on campus.
The bell curve? Bloody hell, that was discredited 30 years ago. As for Reich, talk about nominative determinism.
The bell curve? Bloody hell, that was discredited 30 years ago.
The book, not the concept.
For me the whole caboodle can be put in a box, upon which sits a Fedora at a jaunty angle. I think collecting it into one group is probably doing the phenomenon a disservice (in a scholarly sense), but when I'm being lazy (99% of the time) it strikes me as a certain worldview seeking a voice, and dressing itself in 'scholarly rationality' as a way of being heard, rather than being genuinely scholarly.
See also: free speech martyrs mocking outrage by being outraged, conservatives hating PCness and advocating a mere alternative of the same, the bad-faith attacks on universities* (https://www.timeshighereducation.com/bl ... nfluential), and on. None of this is to deny certain issues et al, but they bind it all together into a narrative of civilisational catastrophe. Nah.
As ever, it's far more complex than these tools would have you believe.

A 29-year-old woman will follow her husband to death row for the murder of their 4-year-old niece, who was beaten and starved for months before being scalded to death in a bathtub, a judge ruled Monday.
Superior Court Judge Michael Wellington, accepting a jury's recommendation, sentenced Veronica Gonzales to death for the 1995 killing of Genny Rojas.
She and her 31-year-old husband, Ivan, who was sentenced to death in January, become the first married couple in California on death row for the same crime.
Gonzales wept quietly as Wellington announced his decision. He could have set aside the jury's recommendation and sentenced her to life in prison without possibility of parole.
The death sentence will be automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court.
The judge also denied motions by defense lawyers for a new trial and for a reduction of her conviction from first-degree murder to second-degree murder.
Genny was sent to live with the Gonzaleses and their six young children in Chula Vista in 1995 because her mother was in drug rehabilitation and her father was in jail for child molestation.
Testimony during Veronica Gonzales' trial showed that for six months Genny was abused--forced to live in a box, hung by her hands from a hook in a closet and burned with a hair dryer.
On July 21, 1995, she was pushed into bathwater so hot that her skin peeled from her body. An autopsy found that she had been burned to death over a period of about two hours.
A jury convicted Gonzales in May of first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture and mayhem.
Defense attorney Michael Popkins, in arguing for a sentence less than death, said Gonzales was a first-time offender and a battered woman dominated by her husband. He said her judgment was impaired by the crystal methamphetamine she had been taking.
The judge said he had little doubt the methamphetamine impaired her judgment but that he believed she still could understand criminal conduct.

TAMPA, Fla. — Kalani Brown watched the 2012 national championship game between Baylor and Notre Dame, a game that ended with the Bears winning the national championship. She remembers a little bit about that game. She mostly remembers that her mother, Dee, made sure that she was going to sit down and watch it.
“We won that one right? Remember, I was pretty young,” Brown said. “But my mom would point at Coach Mulkey and say, ‘I played for her. She was my coach.’"
Seven years later, the legacy of Kalani Brown and Kim Mulkey takes another big step forward on Sunday night when Brown and her teammates take the court in their first NCAA title game against defending national champion Notre Dame.
For the Bears, this has been a stated goal all season and they played all season like a team that was preparing to get there. Baylor comes into the title game with a 35-1 record.
Brown comes into the title game knowing this is truly her last chance to achieve the ultimate goal with a program and a coach that she’s known since she was in the 6th grade.
Brown’s mother Dee began coaching her when she was six years old. The daughter of NBA star P.J. Brown, who had a 15-year career in the NBA, Kalani Brown has been living the basketball life since the day she was born. She was in the stands to watch her dad play in the NBA Finals in the final year of his career in 2008.
Brown’s size got Mulkey’s attention when she had barely entered middle school.
“I was on Baylor’s radar for a long time,” Brown said.
Which means that Brown and Mulkey have a long relationship that will add a new chapter Sunday.
Brown came to Waco with the thing you can’t teach, a 6-foot-7 frame. She came in with strong fundamentals that come with being the daughter of both a coach and an NBA star. But even then, she admits, she was not fully prepared to meet the expectations of a coach that has mentored some of the best post players in the game’s history, such as Brittney Griner.
Mulkey said Brown was a kind, sweet, happy kid, who played like it.
Brown will not argue with that assessment.
Brown is no longer reluctant to be dominant. While her numbers this season aren’t eye-popping – she is averaging 15.7 points and 8.1 rebounds a game on a balanced team that also includes 6-foot-5 post partner Lauren Cox – Brown knows when she needs to take over.
Case in point: Friday night’s national semifinal against Oregon. At halftime, the Ducks had a one-point lead and Brown was finding her way in a crowded paint of Oregon defenders. Brown went 5-for-5 from the floor in the second half and finished with a team-high 22 points and seven rebounds, to go with Cox’s 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Brown’s teammates know the happy-go-lucky player that Mulkey talks about. They also know a different side.
“Not when she’s looking,” Cox said with a laugh.
Brown said she thinks she’s grown this season, facing some of the best posts in the nation, particularly in the NCAA tournament. She’s already gone up against Cal’s Kristine Anigwe, Iowa’s Megan Gustafson and Oregon’s Ruthy Hebard in this tournament run.
Now comes the biggest test of that growth. A shot at the national title against a Notre Dame team with more experienced posts in Brianna Turner and Jessica Shepard.
Brown said the Final Four experience has been more than she thought it would be.
Brown said that Mulkey has been preaching that it’s fine to be happy to be in Tampa, but not content.

In the beginning there was VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3 and then the great God Microsoft did us one better. Excel. And in many people’s (read geek’s) opinions it does just that – excels. It has been said that it is “the best application ever written for windows”. It has also become increasingly complex through versions 1 ‘til 11 (or 2 through 95, 97, 2002 etc.) and counting. Sometimes it’s just bloody annoying. Its capabilities are infinite and just as you think you’ve got to grips with the functions, you find out that you can alter the code behind the application and invent your own functionality.
Excel might not be the perfect tool for all business-related tasks. However, apart from the fact that is so ubiquitous that not having a basic knowledge about it is unthinkable in any modern business, it has a few characteristics that make it virtually irreplaceable.
The list of why spreadsheets are a good way of organizing data for almost any business is very long, from the fact that its linear structure matches very well how we think about business to its various fancy features like pivot tables. But fancier products by the same reasoning have failed. So here are the three reasons why we will never abandon excel.
Accessibility. You need no training. Starting to use Excel at a basic level feels so intuitive that very few people get intimidated by it. It looks simple and does basic tasks in a very transparent way, which reduces the odds of a psychological block occurring with seemingly more complex (and powerful) applications.
Affinity. Sharing excel models is part of a universal communication framework. Few people learn about software from books – most of the learning is done by playing with the program or by interaction with the others and their work. Your skills are almost immediately improved by using the build and logic of other people’s spreadsheets. And if that wasn’t enough, your peers are impressed by them too.
All these things are closely related to the user’s perception of the amount of effort required to learn and to use the software, and in the final analysis Excel does a very good job hiding its brilliance behind a very simple interface.
Copy & Paste from our online world class models.
As I recall VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet but only ran on Apples. 123 was one of the first (or at least the leader) of many others than ran on IBM's DOS. Makes you wonder what would have been if the firms had been allowed to patent software in the 80's. I assume Microsoft made use of this opportunity or just bought someone for their start.
No doubt though Excel is today's premier spreadsheet. I still find it irritating though that users always have to first enter a preceeding = sign to indicate a value where that wasn't necessary with 123.

Despite the difficulties on the American and European markets, the automotive sector in Poland is growing in sales and production and is one of the most dynamically developing markets in Europe next to the Romanian market. On the other hand, the need to optimise operating and management costs implies the need to introduce more and more original tax solutions.
New technologies and the associated high costs of their introduction into production have forced entrepreneurs in the automotive industry to merge and alliances.
Restructuring of the industry results in continuous job losses, which has a particular impact on sub-suppliers, who are experiencing more and more painful financial difficulties. In addition, the sector’s dependence on an energy carrier, i.e. crude oil, affects demand on the market.

Millions of British consumers have long enjoyed the benefit of using the transaction fee free Nationwide credit cards abroad both when on holiday and for online purchases. However the Nationwide has now announced that they will be introducing a 0.84% fee from 6th of May which will rise to 1% on the 1st of June.
The new 1% fee is still better than the 2% to 2.5% typically charged by many other credit card providers, however the probability is now that the Nationwide fee will also eventually rise towards the industry average and hence bring to an end a huge benefit for customers.
The Nationwide will be charging the new fee on both the debt and credit cards. The fee will apply to virtually all countries with the exception of a few such as Iceland and the Vatican city, which I doubt many Nationwide card holders are likely to transact with.
In addition to the new credit card fee, the Nationwide has also been less inclined to pass on the cuts in UK interest rates (which fell to 0.5% yesterday) to borrowers whilst squeezing savers. For instance as of writing the Nationwide charges 3% on its Base Rate Mortgage, 3.5% on its 2 year fixed rate mortgage and 3.4% on its Tracker mortgage. Whilst paying savers 0.95% on its esaver, and 0.70% on its Bonus Saver, with its instant access Cash ISA paying a paltry 0.5%.
This marks another step on route towards the end of free banking that bank customers have enjoyed since the 1980's as ALL banks seek to rebuild their balance sheets.

Research in my lab focuses on the molecular genetics of meiosis in Drosophila melanogaster.
Chromosomes are dynamic elements that exist within a nuclear ecosystem. This ecosystem can respond to developmental and environmental cues by changing the chromatin state, the 3-dimensional chromosome architecture, and chromosome movement during cell division. My research focuses on the highly regulated processes that are implemented during meiosis that ensure homologous chromosomes segregate before sister chromatids. Crossovers, which provide the connections between chromosomes that guarantee accurate segregation, are formed by using homologous recombination to repair programed double-stranded breaks in the DNA. There are more breaks than crossovers, however, and only a subset of breaks are selected to become crossovers. Only crossovers made in specific parts of the chromosome are useful for chromosome segregation, and thus the decision about which breaks to repair as crossovers is critical and highly regulated. My research combines traditional Drosophila genetics and modern whole genome sequencing approaches to ask how chromosomes integrate a complex set of input requirements to select which breaks are repaired as crossovers.

You might know the feeling. You’ve got a flight, 2+ hours. You’ve prepared and uploaded a bunch of ripped DVDs to your tablet, at least one or two of which you’ll watch during the flight. You pop your headphones on as the doors are closed and you start the first video.
Yes, this was me on Monday morning, my heart sinking into my boots. All I had, literally, for this flight to entertain myself were these videos. And they wouldn’t play.
Maybe I’d overloaded the storage on the device? After all, I had less than 10% of storage free, maybe that’s the issue. I deleted a couple. Nope. No WiFi on the flight either – it was a tiny Canadair regional jet – so I couldn’t do any research or download some other “approved” video. This all had worked perfectly only three weeks before on my previous trip, and on every trip prior to that all the way back to when I originally bought this Kindle Fire HDX (which is now on Fire OS 4.5.5.2, from last August).
Once I got to my destination, I did some googling, but all I could find were issues from 4 or 5 years ago. And even those didn’t help.
But then, I noticed that as soon as I turned on the WiFi on the device and it connected, it would play these videos with no problem. Was there some new weird DRM checking going on? Turn the WiFi off, it would still play. If I turned the device off and then back on again, videos wouldn’t play until I reconnected to the internet.
In the end, I just gave up. I installed a third-party video player on the device (MX Player) and it works perfectly every time, WiFi or no WiFi. I still don’t understand what the issue is with the built-in player but, at this stage, I don’t particularly want to spend more time in experimenting and finding out.

Version 4.1 features "bucket brigade" picking capabilities and batch and split assigning.
Voxware, a supplier of software for voice-driven warehousing operations, has released version 4.1 of its Voxware 3 software product suite.
Release 4.1 includes a long list of technical and functional enhancements. Among them are provisions for advanced "bucket brigade" picking, where assignments are passed from one worker to the next as orders are fulfilled. Also included is a console feature enabling site managers to batch and split multiple assignments, which transparently augments WMS functionality and allows for on-the-spot decision-making that maximizes available resources.
Another major capability is the built-in WMS Adapter Framework. This visual integration tool has been proven to dramatically reduce the time and cost to build and maintain voice interfaces with virtually any WMS, and makes it far easier to evolve the way voice is used by an operation than is possible with other approaches.
New mobility devices have been certified with this release, units manufactured by Motorola, Psion Teklogix, and LXE.
"This is a significant release that increases the functional richness of Voxware 3," said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. "It continues our track record of providing new capabilities requested by customers, and making those features available in follow-on releases to all customers who purchased the requisite applications."

A 12-month research project conducted by the Institute for Sustainable Futures at UTS and funded by a NSW Department of Family and Community Services Liveable Communities Grant and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage examined the opportunities presented by cohousing for seniors in NSW, the existing barriers to uptake, and ideas for overcoming these barriers.
The Network Opportunity Maps are free online maps of Australia’s electricity network that help to inform the market about locations where investment in demand management and renewable energy may reduce the need to invest in poles and wires assets, supporting the uptake of local sustainable energy options, and reduce costs for all consumers.
This project aims to facilitate the introduction of reduced local network charges for partial use of the electricity network and the introduction of Virtual Net Metering (VNM) between associated customers and generators in the same local distribution area. This could offer desirable alternatives to customers who might otherwise choose to disconnect from the grid altogether or keep all their generation “behind the meter” drastically reducing the amount of electricity they take from the grid. The project involves five ‘virtual trials’ of local network charges and virtual net metering in NSW, VIC, and QLD.
This three year research node examining the process of community adaptation within the State of New South Wales (NSW), commenced in August 2013. The research is being led by the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney in collaboration with the CSIRO- Climate Adaptation Flagship. The $2.75 million research node is funded by the NSW Office of the Environment and Heritage. The overall aim of the research node is to explore pathways of increasing the capacity of communities to adapt to such impacts and inform how government can service the changing and ongoing needs of adapting communities.
This project explores the relationship between communities and contaminated land governance in Australia. Throughout 2014 the SPART project will be carrying out surveys, interviews and focus groups with members of local communities across Australia.
Container deposit legislation (CDL) describes legislation that establishes a deposit and refund system for used containers. In 2002 the NSW Minister for the Environment commissioned ISF to conduct and Independent Review of CDL in New South Wales.
ISF was Cluster Leader for this Australian collaboration between the CSIRO and five universities to investigate technologies and practices to make our electricity networks smart, greener and more efficient.
The Mineral Futures Collaboration Cluster was a three year (2009-2012) research program that explored large and complex future sustainability issues in the minerals industry across regional, national and global scales.
Research into the impact of global phosphorus scarcity on agriculture has been a recent focus for the Institute leading it to instigate the formation of the Global Phosphorus Research Initiative to facilitiate quality interdisciplinary research on this issue.

text: The WD wagon continues to roll, bringing back the sounds of London's streets circa 1992 in all it's gritty glory! This, the latest instalment of reissues, reworks and rediscoveries see's a rare EP featuring cuts from a clutch of artists from the stable including No Smoke, Addis Posse & Gary A'Gaye. As ever, the Warriors sound is a stew of Dub, Hip-Hop breaks, House, Techno and synth sounds all collaged together using minimal gear and the UK warehouse and sound-system mentality. A heady mixture, you might say. Across 4 tracks we are treated to the ruffness, a handful of club ready bombs that will still do the damage right now in the 2019. As a special Record Store Day treat the mighty Jonny Rock has been drafted in via satellite to give us his extended, narcotic re-rub of No Smoke's killer 'Ai Shi Temasu (Japanese Love)' turning it into a winding, after hours DJ tool that will skilfully snake it's way through the dance at silly o'clock at any rave. Pure joy. OG pressings of this EP are sought after, expensive and rarely turn up. Now you can own this seminal piece of UK street music with a 2019 twist, in all the right ways!

After going without power for three days after Hurricane Charley and five days from hurricane Frances I decided to purchase a window air conditioner as "comfort insurance." I was able to buy this unit at clearance price of $129.99 with free shipping and a $20 off promo from Amazon. $109.99 delivered, thanks Amazon!
I did a test installation through window the day before Frances and it is easy to set up and blows some really cold air. The remote control is simple to operate as well. (Tip for hurricane preparation: I cut a hole in the 3/4 inch plywood over the bedroom window large enough to fit the outer case and made a 1/2 inch plywood splice plate to fit over the hole during times of high winds; it worked great).
Sure enough hurricane Jeanne hits three days after I received the a/c unit and the power was lost Saturday night. The storm had quieted by midday on Sunday and I sprang into action! A/C installation took about 10 minutes and by 30 minutes the bedroom was a nice comfortable 75 degrees. I guarantee we were the only folks in the hood that were resting comfortably! I powered the unit with my Generac 4000XL, purchased from Amazon the day after Charley (see separate review), which had no problem running in parallel with my refrigerator, freezer, TV, boom box and lights.
The Seer rating of this unit is fantastic and the cooling capability is impressive. I was almost disappointed late Sunday evening when the power came back on.
Even though it is too late to buy this unit at the clearance price I believe it is worth the retail price and I have no complaints!

When New Zealand’s largest construction company acquired Corys two years ago it freed the electrical wholesaling business to focus fully on the electrical trade. Fletcher Building’s gift to the electrical industry was to unhook Corys from the Crane plumbing operation and set it on a path of greater independence.
Now the focus on electrical wholesaling has increased even further with Fletcher’s agreement to sell Corys to an international company whose primary business is electrical wholesaling.
New certification and exemption –	can electrical installation owners self-certify?
Sweeping changes to certification commencing on July 1 this year are about to place new demands on owners and operators of electrical installations, but also offer a little flexibility in return on how they record certification and manage their compliance risks.
From July on, any and all electrical work on an installation that can be done only by a licensed person will have to be certified and this will include maintenance and repairs because all the exemptions from certification for prescribed electrical work (PEW) are being removed.
If you play any part in industrial automation, process control, drives, components or industrial IT systems, the Rockwell Automation on the Move exhibition and seminar series has been designed for you.
The New Zealand event is a collaboration with Rockwell Automation, its authorised distributor NHP and its alliance and Encompass partners that will bring you up to date with the latest developments and create an opportunity for you to explore a variety of end-to-end automation solutions with over 40 experts in these fields.
Work on establishing new training regimes for electrical trainees is well under way and will result in a level five national certificate in process automation qualification that could start being taught as early as next year.
Concurrent with this development, a qualification to be taught at secondary school level is being introduced as a pan-trade ‘taster’ aimed at enlisting school leavers into electrical or related industries.
As New Zealand’s largest industrial operation, Fonterra employs over 400 electrical staff and contractors to maintain electrical infrastructure at its 27 processing plants around the country.
Fonterra takes seriously the safety of its electricians and, as a high voltage (11kV) electricity user, the company pays particular attention to the safety risks to staff and contractors working on its switchboards.
From the moment LEDs looked powerful enough to be used for commercial lighting, the race has been on to develop LED ‘tubes’ to upgrade the massive installed base of aging T8 fluorescents. Many LED tubes have come on the market and most have failed to come close to competing with the performance, energy efficiency and low cost of linear fluorescent lighting. Many have been unsafe or non-compliant.
A New Zealand lighting company, Business Lighting Solutions (BLS), says it has solved the safety and technical challenges posed by retrofitting LEDs into fluorescent fittings and now offers a range of safe, reliable and high performing LED tubes designed for contractors to replace T8 fluorescent lamps.
The right sort of lighting control system can save as much as 80 percent of the power of a non-controlled lighting installation but offers significant other benefits as well. While the current drive for energy savings focuses on the use of lighting controls, the visual comfort and flexibility provided by controls can offer a better lit environment and this should always remain the primary focus of good lighting design.
Thankfully, the clever use of lighting controls and high performance luminaires can now deliver both of these objectives. Controls can be built into luminaires to detect occupancy and switch the light on or off or, to detect ambient light levels and dim the lamps to maintain a constant pre-set light level.
In the current economic climate when there is not always enough work available, you may be able to generate more business by offering to audit the performance of your existing clients’ lighting. Installations reliant on old T8s or metal halides are ripe for the plucking, and learning how to measure their current power consumption and compare it with projected savings is a useful recipe for work generation.
If you are not interested in gaining the skills, you can get an auditor in to do it for you. Some companies specialise in doing this. Lighting suppliers also like to get involved in projects at the outset so they can supply the lighting and are keen to help with the numbers and work out the payback times. If you are an Ecanz EcoSmart electrician you will have already learned how to do simple audits, and there are always electrical wholesalers who might be able to help.

This feat is almost as impressive as making the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs.
Publisher Electronic Arts revealed during its 2016 fiscal year earnings release today that the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront has shipped over 14 million copies. That’s up from the 13 million in January. Its first expansion pack, Outer Rim, came out on April 5. New content — including maps for first-person shooters — helps bring in new players, and that appears to be the case here with Battlefront.
EA also noted that Battlefront helped give the company new customers, with 15 percent of its players being new to EA’s ecosystem. This is why publishers want to work with known brands like it Star Wars; it helps bring in new customers.
Battlefront’s new expansion, Bespin, adds the famous Cloud City location this spring. It also includes new hero characters, Lando Calrissian for the Rebels and the bounty hunter Dengar for the Imperials. After that, Battlefront will receive two more expansions at unspecified dates.

On Sunday my husband strolled thoughtfully through our house, looking at all of the over-full bookshelves and boxes of books. Then he announced that we were going to get three new bookcases for Christmas. That statement got very little response from the kids?who were probably reading books?but it made me cringe. You see, I?ve been planning to go through our books but it?s such a big job I keep putting it off.
Come Monday, however, we forgot all about those bookshelves and just concentrated on schoolwork. The children worked diligently at their learning, writing, calculating, and more, achieving some major goals.
Miss 10 managed to type 26 words per minute, quite an accomplishment even if it was on a test she took at least a dozen times. Her long division with decimals is progressing beautifully.
Finally Miss 8 seems to understand fractions! What?s more, her reading is becoming fluent although she occasionally still reads words that ?should be there? but aren?t.
Besides studying hard, Miss 13 has decided to try out a whole list of new gluten-free cookie recipes, and she and her little sisters have been baking a lot. Several times I?ve woken up from my afternoon nap to the delicious smell of cookies.
Mr. 15 of Teen Geek received the Microsoft Community Contributor award for his volunteer work on the Microsoft Answers forums. He also finished the in-class component of Driver?s Ed this week and started practicing the organ again.
Meanwhile, Miss 17 visited the Dutch Delta Works and watched ships sail up and down the Rhine in Germany.
So, what about the bookshelves? Well, on Friday morning my husband announced he was planning to pick up the family Christmas presents that day: three bookshelves. This time the children paid attention, especially when they found out that the new shelves would be put in their bedrooms, two of which are already full of books. They all panicked?except for Miss 17 who was travelling in a Dutch snowstorm at the time.
?Mom, let?s de-junk the bookshelves! Now!? Well, that was the end of this week?s schoolwork! Methodically the children went through shelf after shelf of our books, bringing me all the ones they wanted to get rid of. Of course, many of the books went right back onto the shelf, but we did find three boxes of books that we had outgrown, or that would always be available in the library. We are very proud of our new, neat look, and hope to finish de-junking and reorganizing our shelves in the holidays.
So now I have two boxes to donate to the Bibles for Missions thrift shop, and I plan to drop them off this morning. Selling books, on the other hand, can be a big project and I?m willing to share the profits with a consignment shop to minimize my work. Dropping them off without buying more books will be a big enough challenge for our family!
I really, really, really need to dejunk our bookcases too!
Congratulations! You might be able to get rid of some of them on paperbackswap.com. I recently boxed up all of our “kid books”, but our shelves are still overflowing. My next plan is line our front porch (enclosed) with bookshelves. It may look a little strange to people coming to our front door, but it will prepare them for what’s inside.
I checked out paperbackswap.com, but it seems to be only for the US. I’m going to see if there is such a program in Canada.
I can’t imagine where you would find room in your house for three more book shelves!! I don’t know another home that has quite as many as yours (although a friend is getting close and she lends freely so that’s really nice.) But you can never have too many good books, right?
Well, there is room in three of the bedrooms….
I need to go through mine. I am going to sell or swap some of my personal books that I can reference at the library. I’m glad I don’t have to get rid of any children’s books for a long time! That would be difficult. Good job to you and your children!
I need to “de-junk” the bookshelf as well. Maybe after Christmas!
Ohhh boy do I NEED to go through the book shelves ! I was thinking of doing that in the coming week or two. It always is a treat to go through the books and re discover what we DO have. *grin* I would love to make room for some more. [0= Sounds like there is tons of fun and learning going on in your home as usual.
I hope you all enjoy your new bookshelves, it sounds like you need them!
This is too funny! I am an unpackrat who has the opposite problem, though I am improving. I found out about your blog from the Homeschool Showcase, love it, and am now your latest subscriber!
This is amazing! I did not realize that so many of us homeschooling moms had a book ‘problem’.
I pray that we may all be good stewards of our books and that our children may benefit from free access to good reading material. May the books stored in each of our homes contribute to God’s glory and to the benefit of our families and communities.
I can remember a time when our daughter had over 500 books in her room alone. I had a hard time giving up any book. Now, however, I can much more brutal about clearing them out. Especially the novels since I don’t read many of them. I don’t have an consignment shop to takes books, but I do resell on Amazon.
This is my first visit to your blog and I’m enjoying all your posts.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police chased a man wielding a meat cleaver through midtown Manhattan Thursday, then shot him after he attacked one of the officers trying to subdue him, authorities said.
The gunshots rang out about a block from Macy's department store and Madison Square Garden just as rush hour was getting underway.
The man with the knife was shot at least twice and was hospitalized in critical condition, police said. An off-duty police detective was being treated at the hospital for a slash wound to the face.
The confrontation began when officers encountered the man trying to remove an immobilizing boot from a parked vehicle, police department spokesman Peter Donald said.
Officers chased the man down the street. An off-duty police detective tried to tackle the man, who struck the officer in the head with the knife, Donald said. That's when officers opened fire, he said.

Previous studies have reported limitations of the efficiency criteria commonly used in hydrology to describe goodness of model simulations. This study examined sensitivity of model performance to the objective function used during automated calibrations. Nine widely used efficiency criteria were evaluated for their effectiveness as objective function, and goodness of the model predictions were examined using 13 criteria. Two cases (Case I: Using observed streamflow data and Case II: Using simulated streamflow) were considered to accomplish objectives of the study using a widely used watershed model (SWAT) and good-quality field data from a well-monitored experimental watershed. Major findings of the study include (1) automated calibration results are sensitive to the objective function group—group that work based on minimization of the absolute deviations (Group I), group that work based on minimization of square of the residuals (Group II), and groups that use log of the observed and simulated streamflow values (Group III)—but not to objective functions within the group; (2) efficiency criteria that belong to Group I were the most effective when used as objective function for accurate simulation of both low flows and high flows; (3) Group I and Group II objective functions complement each other’s performance; (4) with regard to the capability to describe goodness of model simulations, efficiency criteria that belong to Group I showed superior robustness; (5) for the study watershed, use of the long-term interannual calendar day mean as baseline model did not improve capability of an efficiency criterion to describe model performance; and (6) even for ideal conditions where uncertainty in input data and model structure are fully accounted for, identifying the so-called global parameters values through calibration could be daunting as parameter values that were significantly divergent from predetermined values produced model simulations that can be considered near perfect even when judged using multiple efficiency criteria.

as a thank you for filling out the reader survey yesterday, i wanted to share a little freebie printable for you guys today! the other day i was bored so i started watercoloring and trying to paint some pretty leaves… well they looked ugly. so instead i just did some simple brushstrokes. because brushstrokes are WAY EASIER.
i designed the gift wrap for tabloid sized paper (11×17″), if your printer doesn’t print that large, you can just print onto regular sized and it’ll come out fine!
I am totally printing this! It’s SO adorable!!
I love this wrapping paper! Such a simple print, perfect for any occasion. Thanks for sharing!
How cute, I love the grey scale! Thanks for the printable!
