For a brief spell in Bohemia, a hermetic, alchemical and kabbalistic enlightenment influenced the seeds of modern science and attempted to give birth to a new era. In her classic book, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, the great historian Frances Yates brought alive to the modern world an extraordinary period in early 17th Century Europe, long lost to memory. Only now, almost four hundred years after the publication of the Rosicrucian manifesto and the Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, are we awakening to the full significance of that moment and its relevance to our own epoch.
Join us on this imaginative and spiritual rediscovery of that magical time in the very region where “it all took place”. We travel from Prague in our coach through the lands of castles, rivers, dragons and ancient heroes to the lands of old Bohemia.
The town developed during the medieval period into the second most important city next to Prague, a royal city endowed with monuments that symbolized its prosperity and is now a UNESCO heritage site. The Church of St Barbara, a jewel of the late Gothic period and, for an adventure in architecture, the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec referred to as the famous “Bone Church”, which was restored in line with the Baroque taste of the early 18th century, were to influence the architecture of all central Europe. These masterpieces today form part of a well-preserved medieval township along with a clutch of great little bars and restaurants serving fresh beer and traditional food.

Roger Green is standing and smiling in front of the Old Clock Tower (just to the left of the clock- facing the clock tower) in the main town square, where all the tourist will be waiting for the old astrological clock tower to chime. We will walk you to the venue where our first event starts at 7pm at Edward Kelly tower /Alchemical Museum / Donkey and Cradle in the foot hills of the Prague Castle. Don’t be late! Green is not tolerant of late comers and you will be fined one Prague Glass of Beer.
Centrally located next to the old town Prague square, is a fully renovated classic building, done on Feng Shui and Eco Design principles. It is said the site has several geometrical energy lines converging and is considered a fine example of modern Feng Shui Eco design. It houses seminars rooms, client therapy spaces and one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Prague. The restaurant consists of two levels, the top level being small and intimate and full of natural light; the bottom level is spacious, warm and welcoming. The wooden tailor-made booths, Buddha decorations, fountains, a fireplace and design low lighting make the bottom level a quiet and lovely haven from the bustling Old Town of Prague. Olda Hozman, the architect responsible for the complete restoration is a past graduate of Roger Green’s Prague school of Feng Shui. The vegetarian menu is interesting and very affordable.
Any hotel that has an address of Praha 1 means it is very close to the Town’s inner circle.

At first blush, it might seem curious that Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent campaign focus on lowering taxes seemed more strongly targeted on people moving out of California—mostly native-born, middle-class suburbanites—than to the service needs of the state’s steadily growing immigrant population.
Yet Schwarzenegger can hardly be blamed for being confused—or for sounding like other politicians struggling to gain purchase in America’s shifting demographic landscape.
Citing new census statistics that show California is losing many more within-U.S. migrants than it is gaining, Schwarzenegger has vowed to reverse the flight of middle-class residents to rapidly developing surrounding states, like Nevada and Arizona, with wide-open spaces and lower costs.
But his concerns are not new. They echo those raised by postwar big-city mayors who bemoaned the inevitable suburbanization of that era’s white middle class, which created sharp and enduring social and economic differences between cities and their suburbs. Those politicians also were bufuddled by enormous changes that they did not fully understand.
And, indeed, this parallel between the experience of California’s recent out-migration and that of postwar suburban flight reflects a more general, national migration dynamic which is forging new and demographically distinct regions, whose differences may well supersede those that separated post-war cities from their suburbs.
This dynamic finds, on the one hand, large flows of domestic migrants pouring out of highly urbanized states to create a mostly suburban, middle-class “New Sunbelt” region. At the same time, immigrants continue to flow into the ethnically diverse, more urban “Melting Pot” states, almost unaware of the former out-movement and its causes.
Meanwhile, a residual cluster of “Heartland” region states, mostly unaffected by either migration flow, is increasingly defined by its relative stagnation.
The New Sunbelt—13 states in the nation’s West and Southeast of which Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina are prime examples—is the present-day counterpart of America’s suburbs.
It contains one-fifth of the U.S. population but is growing almost twice as fast as the rest of the nation (it grew by 28 percent vs. 15 percent over the 1990-2002 period), in large measure thanks to suburban-like in-migrants: white middle-class families, singles and retirees; the Southeast, they are joined by a returning black middle class.
In each case, the new migrants are trading the pricey, congested commuting towns of the more urban metropolises in California and the Northeast for more peaceful, family-friendly 21st-century Levittowns in the sprawling suburbs and exurbs of places like Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
In essence, they are making long-distance moves to achieve the suburban dream that no longer exits for them in Connecticut, New Jersey or Orange County, Calif. While immigrants and Hispanics in search of low-wage service and construction jobs are beginning to follow, the inflow to the New Sunbelt is dominated by mostly white and black households with middle-class incomes and good educations.
The New Sunbelt, it should be said, does not include the “old” Sunbelt meccas of California, Texas and Florida. Instead, these make up part of the nation’s churning, bubbling “Melting Pot” region. These nine states—which include such other immigrant gateways as New York, New Jersey, and Illinois (with Chicago)—constitute America’s most urban super-region.
Like big cities of the past, they are the primary destinations of new immigrants and immigrant minorities. Collectively, they house 70 percent of the nation’s foreign-born population but only 37 percent of its native-born. More than three-quarters of all Hispanics and two-thirds of all Asians live in these states, where bilingual speakers and interracial marriages are commonplace.
More of these immigrants have low incomes and skills than the migrants who are leaving. Consequently, large parts of the Melting Pot are acquiring another attribute of the postwar big cities: a two-tiered economy.
I have termed the remainder of the country, its third mega-region, America’s “Heartland.” This swath of 29 slow-growing states (including the District of Columbia) in the Northeast and much of the nation’s midsection has not gained much from migration in decades.
Its suburbs and rural areas are mostly white and aging, and blacks constitute the primary minority in its cities. Still, the small but growing immigration flows to the region have served to stem the decline of some of its city populations and counter some of its “brain drain” to other regions.
The Heartland is the least diverse and dynamic of the three regions, but contains nearly two-fifths of the nation’s population and an even larger share of its elderly and aging baby boomers.
In short, America’s new migration patterns cannot be ignored. They are blurring the once-sharp local distinctions between cities, suburbs and rural areas in favor of increasingly significant regional ones.
Long-distance migration flows are fueling growth in New Sunbelt states that offer affordable new housing in safe, dispersed settings with more local control, ingredients that have always attracted Americans to the suburbs.
Yet the Melting Pot states that they are leaving are not emptying out. They are the prime beneficiaries of the nation’s rising immigration levels, infusing these states with urban diversity and a vibrancy that has long been associated with cities. Compared to these regions, the aging Heartland appears to be standing still, isolated from the dramatic changes occurring elsewhere.
And so it is understandable that Arnold Schwarzenegger may have misunderstood his true constituency—or at least part of it.
Migration and the shifting new demographic realities they are generating are shaping and reshaping new regional constituencies that can be associated with the culturally diverse but economically polarized Melting Pot; the middle-class, family-oriented New Sunbelt; and the largely white, older and baby boomer-dominated Heartland.
When viewed from this perspective, regional preferences on a range of issues such as affirmative action, taxes, schools and subsidies for prescription drugs fall neatly into place—and are certain to confound hopeful presidential candidates looking to gain broad national support.
At the same time, state officials, particularly in the two most dynamic regions, will need to take heed of the rapid shifts in their constituencies. Despite Gov.-elect Schwarzenegger’s concern about the out-migration of would-be Golden Staters, for example, that train is already leaving the station.
The demographic future of California and a cluster of other Melting Pot states rests with continued immigrant growth, not with continued white middle-class preferences.
Over time these states’ crucial challenges will be those of educating future generations of New Americans. Over time their opportunities will be those of forging economic links with the global economy.
Demography is destiny, and for California this means immigration. More so than the big cities of the past, Gov-elect Schwarzenegger’s state is well-positioned to survive middle-class flight—especially if the new governor realizes he should pay his closest attention to the people moving in.

Last Friday the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James opened his “I Promised School.” According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, it is a project that James, his foundation, and the Akron (Ohio) Public School district had been working on for nearly a decade. The school will focus its efforts on servicing at-risk kids.
The grade levels will start at second grade through fourth and gradually expand from there. The goal of the institution will help students from challenging backgrounds have a chance to help pursue their dreams.
James along with sponsors will donate millions of dollars to help the institution function. The school hours will be longer than the traditional hours that we at that age remember. This will allow staff members to assess learning styles to help their students receive the proper attention. All students that complete the program will receive a full ride to the University of Akron starting in 2021.
Fellow athletes such as Cris Carter, Emmitt Smith, Steph Curry, Elena Delle Donne, Dee Gordon, and Chinenye “Chiney” Ogwumike.
It’s amazing! Love to see players of his caliber giving back the way he does and continuing to give back to his community. It’s awesome, and I wish I was a little kid and go back to that school because it looks incredible. He is doing some much great things in the community, and he inspires others to do the same! Donne told me.
Seattle Mariners Second Baseman Dee Gordon and the Connecticut Sun’s Chinenye “Chiney” Ogwumike both share voiced their support as well.
That is the ultimate gift that you can give to kids. Not giving but teaching and learning that is the best way you can transform people lives. The fact that he is doing it with money, his time, family, and friends that is the legacy athletes have. A lot of people say athletes should stick to the game and “We Should Shut up and dribble” Well you know what? They have platforms and they are able to reach people and that is a powerful thing. The fact that he is going to help kids and the generations to come is amazing. If we had more individuals doing that our society would be in a much better place. – Ogwumike told me.

I know you will not believe this .
Discussion in 'General Electronics Chat' started by R!f@@, Feb 14, 2012.
First off...This is not funny, so don't laugh.
I was just replying to a thread and saw an ant running across my screen.
Again I tried and still, this little bugger is running around.
I dare not press any harder, I might crack my panel.
Believe it or not, it is running between my 28" panel and it's diffuser.
How the hell did it get in ?
Before I can reach my movie it went to and disappeared at the sides.
Am still waiting for it come back.
Now I have to take the whole thing apart.
If they got in they will ruin the monitor. I bet there is a colony inside now.
Freakin' Ants. Why me ????
I think you have a bug. Have you tried using a debugger?
btw, I've seen this on a Mac. It was a sw bug running around the screen.
It's a bug alright. Alive and kickin.
I am on win7 by the way.
Try ant bait (poison). There is some that doesn't kill instantly, instead they take it with them as far as I remember. This kills the whole colony.
If it's not a bug, it must be a feature.
OR just leave him be i don't think ants eat flux like roaches do.
Friend of mine did upholstery and as a sort of resume he would take pics of his work w/ a old 35mm camera.
He developed his most recent pics of a Chaise lounge and one just one pic was what looked like a giant roach chillaxing on his lounge all legs up.
It's framed and hanging up in his shop to this day.
Nothing you can do once a ant is in there but wait for it to live out its lifespan, or try to set a trap lure it out.
you can put something "sweet" in a shallow bowl fairly close and if it gets out and lands on it.
I believe you. I had a tiny bug (< 0.5mm) running around in my camera for a while, but the viewfinder magnified it.
I'll wait and see if any more crawls.
I have a hammer ready.
LMAOF... If I did that my fist will end up against the wall.
I can't believe a post about an ant on your screen is now 2 pages long and going.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I've had this sort of thing happen to me once, but it was quite a while ago. I can't remember what computer I had at the time, but I know it wasn't a Mac.
Are you sure you are looking at your monitor and not your ant farm?
The stupid thing finally started working again.
When I worked at Qume, we had an assembly facility in Pueto Rico, land of the unkillable cockroach. They eveolved a strain of roaches that lived on the "instapak" foam we injected into the boxes as shipping filler. The boxes would arrive at the customer and when they opened the box, about a hundred million roaches would come running out all over their feet.
I'm guessing it must inside already. You just had an illusion that you pressed it from outside the screen!
Another buzzer,,,not. How to handle 2 -Vs ? I dont know how to ask this.
Do you know this connector?

Apparently this could be enabled or disabled at any time via the Nest mobile app, and via this blog post it further explained that it was an opt-in feature, and that customers will receive email explaining how to activate it.
One slight problem, this wasn’t disclosed for over 18 months. Thus people who bought the Nest Secure without knowing that there was a microphone present. And during those 18 months or so the potential existed for the bad guys, hackers or whomever to hack in and listen in.
Not cool Google. Not cool.
The fact is that if your IoT device secretly contained a microphone, which was previously undocumented, would you be happy when the device maker announced an over-the-air update that can enable the microphone? Of course not. You should be enraged and call for heads to roll. Now Google does admit that they screwed up, but it wasn’t intended to be a secret. But that will do little to calm people who own one of these devices and discovered this added feature.

We charge a small fee to submit your photo into the competition. All members who submit or not are the judges in all the categories. They might submit a steak photo, but also have opinions on other food items they don’t curate or create. Members who don’t birth new cuisines are welcome to share their votes of approval with authority just as strong as the creators themselves.
What’s your biggest risk? What keeps you up at night?
Getting the programming done on three platforms, html, android and iOS and making it’s non gameable. Distributing the cash prizes and organizing local gatherings to sample and discover the inventions.
What do you understand about your business that others don’t get?
As an artist, programmer and business person I recognized that every detail is important to making people happy. You need to let people express there creations in a safe environment, you need to make the marketplace trustworthy and you have to earn a profit managing the marketplace while kicking out the cheaters. This is like a currency, it will invent new industries, new products, start new trends and mint new celebrities all from the creation and celebration of food. Our key to success will be clear rules and unbiased transparent mechanics to crown winners.

To some people, maverick film-maker, David Lynch, is a visionary: an auteur who has created a body of work steeped in that surreal parallel universe that apparently hides within the ordinary world we all inhabit – one which contains within it fascinatingly macabre possibilities that are often, simultaneously menacingly malevolent as well as perversely beautiful.
To others, however, he is merely a one-trick pony, and a confusing storyteller who rarely follows a clear path through his narratives, leaving his viewers frustrated and disaffected.
Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes and Olivia Neergard-Holm’s 2016 documentary, David Lynch: The Art Life, will not convince anyone to see him any differently than they already do. Lynch acolytes will love it, and those not converted to the Lynchian way will struggle to stay interested.
It is a film built around Lynch’s laconic reminiscences of the years leading up to the making of his striking debut feature, Eraserhead.
The pace is slow, albeit understandably so as it is mirroring the speed of the creative processes depicted in Lynch’s studio where he is filmed composing a number of his paintings, sculptures and installations – experimenting with textures and techniques, shaping distorted shapes and figures from a myriad of malleable materials.
Lynch’s anecdotes, recalled as he works, are illustrated by childhood photographs and family home movies, and the most striking feature to be gleaned from these is their lack of any real distinction.
The family did, as other families did when the breadwinner took on new employment, move state a number of times, and this meant changing friendship groups regularly. One move culminated in a brief period where Lynch recalls he ‘fell in with the wrong crowd’ in high school – but he does not really elaborate upon the problems this caused and this potential issue, it appears, was quickly remedied when he stumbled into a friend’s father, Bushnell Keeler’s, art studio where the impressionable teen was immediately struck with the wonders of this invitingly alien environment and a vocation was born that would be hi passion from that point onwards.
He recounts his subsequent journey deeper into the world of art from that point which took him initially from his hometown; then with his artist buddy, Jack Fisk, briefly to Europe; before returning stateside and moving independently to Philadelphia where he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts. It was here where he was given the time and space to eventually create Eraserhead.
It was a charmed journey too. He crossed paths with more than his fair share of willing mentors and benefactors who gave him great encouragement and advice, and financially support, even though he had yet to solidify any consistent vision or style.
Whilst Lynch delivers some incredibly droll lines during his account of his early life, the recollections are not overly revelatory, or really told with any great level of animated enthusiasm.
There have been other documentaries about Lynch made in the past, and filmed interviews already exist where he has discussed a significant amount of the information provided here before, so, in terms of new information, this film can not be claimed to be essential viewing for anyone other than the most avid Lynch fans.
What makes the film worthwhile though is the broad range of his visual art work shown here from all periods of his artistic and creative life. And, just like his films, these works meld words and images in oddly satisfying although disconcerting ways, dislocating the expected and juxtaposing the odd, time and again.
We do see some tender and intimate footage of Lynch with his infant daughter, Lula, working together in their art studio.
This footage clearly disproves the comment, recalled hilariously by Lynch, that the artist’s own father made to him whilst visiting him at his university digs in Philly.
David Lynch: The Art Life will be screened, in a double bill with a new print of Eraserhead, at the Palace Nova Cinemas on Sunday 21 May from 2:15pm, as part of the American Essentials Film Festival 2017.
Lynch fans should also make note that the festival will also be featuring a new print of his weird and unnerving masterwork, Mulholland Drive, which will screen on Wednesday May 24 at 8:30pm.

Discussion in 'The Sound Hound Lounge' started by Thames, Feb 23, 2012.
Is there any "dedicated box" in which I can push the sound banks or whatever, and get rid of the laptop ?
yeah, there a lot of hardware sequencers you can use, many keyboard workstations have a sequencer built-in so you can upload a midi file and play right from the keyboard.
Not sure what's available, but at the very least you'll want a voltage regulator for all your digital stuff. One brown out or spike and you might be kissing your equipment goodbye.
There used to be a ton of hardware tone generators out there, you can find them used if you look around. Maybe not the same sound quality as the software-based programs of today, but they were getting the job done on stages and in studios for many years.
I would not trust a Windows machine for dependable performance in that type of situation. I speak from experience. If you're playing your local bar it might not be such a big deal, but if you're on a national tour it's a different story.
Minimum, you want to run them on a Mac laptop.

Beth drove up from Greenville Friday night, so I rounded up a couple of friends and off we went to dinner and drinks at our local tiki bar on the lake. It was an insanely hot and humid night, but the fried pickles and Jack and diets kept me satisfied and cool! Before I knew it I was texting Bryan to come pick us up, knowing that I'd be able to coerce him into hanging out with us for a while. He was over at our next door neighbors house playing pool, so they finished their last game and headed to us at around 11:00pm. I was impressed with how late we stayed out -- 1:00am -- go me!
Beth, I miss you already. Can you please come back so that we can 'go big' at night and then devour Chick Fil A while watching hours of "Unfaithful: Stories of Betrayal" all afternoon in our pj's?
And yes mom, I have on shorts. They are of proper length, but clearly didn't photograph so. Please don't send me a text asking where my pants are. I know you're tempted, k?

The 9th European Innovation Summit will take place during the week 27.11 - 1.12 2017 in and around the European Parliament in Brussels in the context of the first ever European Innovation Week.
Willem Jonker, CEO of EIT Digital will share the expertise of EIT Digital regarding impact of innovations and scaleups that focus primarily on customers in order to succeed. Europe has a strong history as foundry of ideas and innovations that changed many lives all over the world. The renown research institutes and universities the European innovation ecosystem fertilze the economies with groundbreaking technologies. But the challenge in Europe lies not in the development of innovations, but in economical growth.
"Innovation needs a stronger focus on customers than on investors. We need to think of different funding instruments than R&D" explains Jonker.
Willem Jonker will attend the Plenary Session on the future of Research and Innovation on Wednesday , November 29, 2017 at the European Parliament from 9:00 am to 12:30 am. There he will talk about the challenge of ‘Rethinking Funding and Financing of Innovation and Research in Europe’.
As a logical continuation of the first part of this session, EU commission will elaborate on facilitating funding and financing for European research and innovation activities in the years to come. What kinds of financial instruments do we need and do we also foresee blending of financial instruments to support innovation?
2017 is an important year for the future of innovation in Europe and preparations for the next Multiannual Financial Framework have started, part of which is the next Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. At the same time, it is an opportunity to reflect on how Europe can innovate more intelligently by making better use of available knowledge and resources. Debates will focus on concrete solutions addressing major challenges for which Europe needs more innovations than ever.
The Plenary session at the ninth EIS (European Innovation Summit) takes up on the different aspects of the future of European R&I policies within the context of the development of Framework Programme 9. Starting from the challenge driven H2020, different perspectives will be discussed from the different stakeholder points of view, especially the Parliament, the Commission, academia and industry.
Key topics include the anticipated role and set up of the new European Innovation Council, will it become a separate pillar with instruments but without set objectives? What will that mean for innovation in Europa, will larger industry be involved or will it primarily concentrate of start ups and scale ups?

On the slopes of Colletto Fava mountain lies a 164-foot-long, hay-stuffed rabbit made of Pepto-Bismolpink wool. The Austrian art group Gelitin (www.gelitin.net) plans to keep this installation in place until 2025, mildew and rot be damned. The bunny's 14-foot-high sides can be scaled by walkers seeking a plush belly on which to nap—if they can handle the stench of several thousand pounds of rain-soaked wool.

The PGA Tour wrapped up its West Coast swing this past Sunday with the conclusion of the Northern Trust Open from Riviera CC in LA. Bubba Watson, who was a previous winner of the Open in LA, found himself 2 strokes behind leader Jason Kokrak with 4 holes to play. Kokrak dropped a shot on the 15th hole and Watson saw his opportunity. He responded by making back-to-back birdies on the par 3 16th and par 5 17th. His 15-under par for the tournament was enough to hold off a surging Adam Scott, who finished one stroke behind Watson. Jason Kokrak held the 36-hole lead for the first time in his PGA Tour career. Unfortunately, he just missed out on recording his first career victory. He still walked away from LA with a cool $600k for his second place finish.
While Watson surged on Sunday to record his second career win at Riviera, other high profile golfers faltered. Rory McIlroy started his final round with a bang on Sunday by recording an eagle 3 at the par 5 first. Unfortunately, McIlroy would lose all his momentum for the rest of the round. He made 7 bogeys over his next 16 holes before finishing his round on a high note with a birdie on 18. McIlroy’s poor play on Sunday can be attributed to his lack of pace on the greens. If he can straighten this out, look to see him in contention this week at the Honda Classic.
Jordan Spieth also had a rough week in LA. Spieth opened the tournament on Thursday with a 79, 8 strokes over par. He rebounded the following day with a more respectable 3-under 68 for the world number one. Spieth plans on taking this week off before starting his run at defending the Masters in April. As for the rough week, I guess a bad week in LA is better than a good weak anywhere else, especially where I am in Rhode Island.
On a final note, one of my favorite players on tour, Steve Stricker finished this week in a tie for 11th at 8-under par. The 49-year-old had surgery in December of 2014 and played sparingly in 2014 while recovering. This year, Stricker feels healthy and refreshed. This week’s finish is a good building block for achieving his ultimate goal of winning again on tour.
The next round of the PGA Tour season kicks off tomorrow from PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The course was redesigned by Jack Nicholas and features a treacherous stretch of holes on the back 9 that have become known as “The Bear Trap.” Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler are headlining the star-studded field at the Honda Classic.

Quite frankly, thoughts and prayers can only go so far. They have limited ability to protect our families. The time has come for our elected leaders – including President Barack Obama – to stand up and fight for our families and children, and their safety.
But the American people support stronger gun safety measures more than he believes or cares to say. Polls now demonstrate this to be true.
When our children are being shot at and killed in their schools, or movie theaters, we have to take meaningful action. These tragedies are too frequent, and are, as the president said, heartbreaking.
We need to talk about gun laws. We need an open and honest debate about the tragedies happening in our communities, one after another. There are common-sense laws that can help prevent these tragedies, and Americans support them.
The “Fix Gun Checks Act,” if passed, would make it tougher for the mentally ill to legally buy guns by strengthening background checks so people like James Holmes (the Aurora shooter) can’t acquire guns. Ninety percent of Americans want to fix gaps in government databases that allow the mentally ill or drug users from buying guns. Even gun owners support the laws.
Eighty-two percent of gun owners (National Rifle Association and non-NRA members) believe that a criminal background check should be required for anyone purchasing a gun, according to data released by Republican pollster Frank Luntz for Mayors Against Illegal Guns earlier this year, 76 percent of gun owners support prohibiting people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns, 80 percent support mandatory gun safety training for anyone applying for a concealed permit, and 78 percent of gun owners believe that concealed permits should only be granted to applicants who have not committed violent misdemeanors.
The NRA, which fights against all this, is out of touch — even with its own membership. Its power to dictate this debate has to be challenged.
The data on assault weapons is just as telling. The man identified Friday as the gunman, Adam Lanza was armed with semiautomatic pistols and a semiautomatic rifle and the killers in Aurora and Portland both used an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. Sixty-three percent of Americans said they favor a nationwide ban on assault weapons, according to a 2011 CBS/New York Times poll, and 63 percent favored banning high-capacity magazines that hold many rounds of ammunition.
We found, in a 2011 survey we conducted for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, that 57 percent of Americans support a law that would limit the size of ammunition clips so that the gun could not fire more than 10 bullets without having to be reloaded. Only a third, or 34 percent, of Americans opposed that law.
The Brady Bill, which expired under President George W. Bush, and that Obama said he supported, regulated these kinds of assault weapons (AR-15). Those guns are now unregulated and the result is tragedy after tragedy that won’t end until elected leaders step up.
Support for sounder, safer gun laws is not restricted to blue states or big urban cities. In a study conducted by Lake Research Partners earlier this year in swing state-senate districts in Virginia, we found that two-thirds of voters (65 percent) in a rural western Virginia district believe the gun laws should be made stronger — including 52 percent who strongly believe so. Just 24 percent say they should be less restrictive.
Ninety-two percent of voters in a state senate district centered in Roanoke, Virginia, strongly endorsed requiring background checks for people purchasing guns and permits for people who want to carry a concealed loaded weapon.
The NRA and those who oppose gun safety measures should welcome a gun-control debate — especially if they think they have the winning hand.
The consistent lack of leadership on this issue is stunning. But what is most unnerving is that it does not have to be this way – the American people support common sense gun laws.
Others have said, even on Friday, that now is not the time to discuss more gun laws. They said this same thing after Aurora, after Portland, and now after Newtown. They are trying to silence the millions of Americans who want stronger protections from gun violence in their communities.
These silencers, led by the NRA, continue to use the 2011 Gallup poll, which we have already explained is problematic, to shut down the debate about new gun laws that will make us safer. That poll said that 43 percent of Americans support stricter gun laws, a 6 percentage point drop from 2008.
But as the numbers we have cited here show, this single Gallup question is too shallow to really tell the story of what Americans think about gun safety measures.
Now is the time to have a discussion about gun laws that will make our communities and families safer. The American people are ready.
Obama showed great courage earlier this year when he stood up for the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. His courage and leadership is needed here too. These tragedies will happen again and again until our leaders stand up and pass meaningful gun-safety laws that the American public supports.
No, the public doesn’t agree.
The majority of Americans support the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This is a fact.
The public does not agree. The only reason there were so many deaths is because the federal ban on firearms within 100feet of a school does not permit a responsible citizen from carrying a firearm. Otherwise someone would have dropped this Perp in his tracks. The police and your gov’t can’t be everywhere and make you safe. Grow up and start taking responsibility for your own security. This article represents the psychology of the victim.
The Republicans need any and all fringe groups to make up for the fact that they represent a small percentage of the electorate.
Their greatest fear is that people will figure them out.
Which public is this that you speak of? The 26% as usual? Stop using tragedy to push your BS agendas.
Almost every Swiss man has an assault rifle and its ammunition, at home, as part of his obligation to do military service. Yet killings using these rifles are extremely rare. Why?
The two writers of this “opinion piece” (you noted, I didn’t call it news, nor refer to the authors as journalists), have managed to present about as much political drivel and spin as I’ve ever seen, in one single story. The vast majority of the article is composed of opinion, half truths, and highly targeted, and vague opinion “polls”. PULEEZE, can we get some real journalism here?
A species that eats its young or fails to protect them becomes extinct. Think about it.
@saildog07. You are clearly remarkably ignorant of what the US is, what we face as a people and what “inalienable rights” means.
I think we should ban meth and heroin, that would keep it off the streets and, keep people from doing it.
The Colordao theater killer chose the only movie theater within 20 miles that had a ban on concealed weapons. You want the only people in the world to have guns to be governments and criminals? a naive concept.
This guy was insane – lets address the problems with mental illness and get some security at schools for God’s sake.
For the first time in my life, I am thinking about buying a gun.
The only places where these mass shootings have happened are where guns are not allowed. (Schools, churches, government buildings) These people maybe mentally ill but they still know enough to do this in places where someone can’t shoot back at them. Anyplace that does not allow legal gun owners to carry a firearm should be required to have an armed guard 24/7. Even then the armed guard won’t be in the right place at the right time. I would feel much safer sending my kids to the school in Texas with the Guardian program where some of the teachers are licensed to carry firearms. Outlaw firearms and only criminals will have them.
This is not what the public wants. This is what the liberals want for the public.
I believe in gun control. I control mine very well. How about controlling the pez dispensing of mind altering, psychosis enducing drugs you’re giving people. Even dispensing these harmful drugs to young adults!
In the Supreme Court case, Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), the court ruled that our local police are not responsible for protecting us. SOOOOOO, who IS responsible for protecting us? We are responsible. That’s why I responsibly conceal carry. I protect my wife and 2 small children. When more responsible people carry, violent crime goes down. The FBI crime statistics don’t lie. Why do the left and gun grabbing crowd ignore this fact? Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Lets look one poll that this particular article is using for it’s numbers.
The poll used 2 Senate Districts in the State of VA. District 21 and District 38.
with the total numbers of respondents being 305 voters in District 21 and 302 voters in district 38.
That’s a fairly small sample size considering Roanoke VA (part of district 21) has a population of 92,376 (2010 numbers) but polls being what they are they can’t call every registered voter.
So they are making a statement for the entire state of Virginia with a population of 8 million give or take from the words of 607 people. Now not all of the 8 million are old enough to vote or even care enough to vote. But the statement that such a small group of people are the norm for a much larger population is suspicious.
Lets now look at the generator of the poll and the authors of this piece. Lake Research here is a snippet from their web site.
Nothing unusual there, next check their “outstanding clients” I did not check all of them but the ones I did check are Democrats with a history of voting for more firearms laws or outright bans.
So going down to the list of causes that they have worked for I see several that catch my eye, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, MoveOn.org, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. So I think it is safe to say that this is a group that is defiantly not non-bias. Nothing wrong with that, but I would not trust this group to give me honest results any more than I would a Republican think tank on gay marriage.
So as to the title of this opinion piece states “Public agrees” there is not enough data in their source material to even make that assumption let alone any reason to believe that the authors are trying to give anything but their own viewpoints legitimacy.
I think the founding fathers would have had a different opinion if they realized that modern “constitutionalists” were defending the right of 14 year old drug dealers to carry semiautomatic weapons or mentally deranged people to spray bullets into elementary school classrooms. The one part that is frequently lacking in these types of discussions is any realistic alternate solution or approach for stemming the regular occurrence of these types of events. Arming guards at the entrances to all schools? Really? Is that really the statement of our times? Ok, so we are the most heavily armed society in the world and we kill more fellow Americans every year than the combined total of the Gulf War, the Twin Towers assault, the Iraq war and the War on Terror in Afghanistan. Every year. Are there any serious suggestions of how to begin to address these murders?
A gun is an inanimate tool not deviant behavior and crime is deviant behavior not an inanimate tool.
You can’t prevent deviant behavior by regulating tools because tools are incapable of behavior and the number of tools available to the world’s deviants is endless.
Even if you could legislate guns out of existence, deviants could, would and have used other things that gave them a power advantage over their victims—knives, clubs, rocks or even sharp sticks—all of which are very legal and very accessible.

The original Classic series was launched in 2008, marking the brand's return to a price range that it had dropped more than two years before. Like before, Classic II is an open line, whereas the brand's Reflection and flagship VS series are targeted to A/V specialists.
The vinyl-clad series, available in a black walnut finish, consists of the $199-suggested-each CS 260 II 6.5-inch two-way floorstanding speaker; the $199 CS 225C II two-way center channel speaker with dual 5.25-inch woofers; the $149 CS 26 II two-way 6.5-inch bookshelf speaker; the $99 CS23 II two-way 3.5-inch compact bookshelf speaker; and the $299 CS Sub10 II 100-watt 10-inch down-firing DCD subwoofer. In addition, Boston Acoustics is packaging four CS 23 II bookshelf speakers and a CS 23 II center channel into the $579-suggested CS 2300 II surround-sound speaker system.
The speakers sport a more refined cosmetic design that cleans up their lines and provides a more streamlined appearance "while at the same time maintaining the gently curved grilles and overall proportions," a spokesperson said.
With the line, the company also reduced the number of SKUs while also providing enough models to let consumers create a variety of "very capable" two-channel and home theater systems, the spokesperson said.
Like before, the series features soft-dome tweeters made of Kortec woven polyester with a special stiffening agent to deliver high-frequency extension typically associated with metal dome tweeters but without their harshness, the company said. The speakers also incorporate graphite-injected woofers featuring Deep Channel Design (DCD) to deliver more bass output with less amplifier power. DCD driver design uses a deeply grooved pole plate that lets the voice coil travel farther for greater output, the company explained. The speakers also feature acoustically tuned ports to extend bass response.
The previous Classic line topped out at a suggested $249 for a single 6.5-inch two-way tower.
The speakers will ship in late August.


text: The Lees have a 400 acre farm in Larue country just outside of Hodgenville. More than fifty of those acres are dedicated to growing vegetables like butternut squash, broccoli, corn, and other vegetables. Scotty and Robin Lee opened their greenhouse and garden center on their family farm in 1985. The Lees love food and feeding people, so they always carried vegetables, but in 2010 they increased their vegetable production and began growing for schools and hospitals with the help of their son Jud. In 2018 alone, they delivered 75000 pounds of sweet corn to Jefferson County Public Schools. Robin’s favorite part about their produce business is preparing the vegetables to be eaten by people who will love eating it. In some cases the Lees peel, chop, husk, dice, and puree in their commercial kitchen right on the farm. Robin says, "When I prepare vegetables they’re going to be the best product there is. It’s going to be what I want to feed my kids and grand kids, prepared with love."

“The Way You Look Tonight” has no verse, which is not unusual in songs Kern wrote for films, but it is a long song at 44-bars.
The descriptions/reviews of the key songs and dance numbers are from wikipedia unless otherwise cited. As for recordings, I’m going to limit the recordings in this feature to the film soundtrack as long as I can find quality videos. Covers of the standards will be handled in separate pages.
All songs are composed by Jerome Kern with words by Dorothy Fields except for the Kern instrumental Waltz in Swing Time which was “constructed and arranged by Robert Russell Bennett” according to IMDb. However, wikipedia’s article credits also Astaire’s rehearsal pianist Hal Borne for contributing to both Waltz in Swing Time and Bojangles of Harlem (source uncited).
Pick Yourself Up: The first of Kern’s standards is a charming polka first sung and then danced to by Astaire and Rogers. One of their most joyous and exuberant numbers is also a technical tour-de-force with the basic polka embellished by syncopated rhythms and overlayed with tap decoration. In particular, Rogers recaptures the spontaneity and commitment that she first displayed in the “I’ll Be Hard to Handle” number from Roberta (1935).
(Below) This video contains the opening credits, an abrupt jump to the action leading to the Pick Yourself Up number, the number, followed by a portion of Never Gonna Dance.
Waltz In Swing Time: Described by one critic as “the finest piece of pure dance music ever written for Astaire”, this is the most virtuosic partnered romantic duet Astaire ever committed to film. Kern – always reluctant to compose in the Swing style – provided some themes to Robert Russell Bennett who, with the assistance of Astaire’s rehearsal pianist Hal Borne, produced the final score. The dance is a nostalgic celebration of love, in the form of a syncopated waltz with tap overlays – a concept Astaire later reworked in the similarly impressive “Belle of New York” segment of the “Currier and Ives” routine from The Belle of New York (1952). In the midst of this most complex of routines, Astaire and Rogers find time to gently poke fun at notions of elegance, in a delicate reminder of a similar episode in “Pick Yourself Up”.
Bojangles Of Harlem: Once again, Kern, Bennett and Borne combined their talents to produce a jaunty instrumental piece ideally suited to Astaire, who here – while overtly paying tribute to Bill Robinson – actually broadens his tribute to African-American tap dancers by dancing in the style of Astaire’s one-time teacher John W. Bubbles, and dressing in the style of the character Sportin’ Life, whom Bubbles played the year before in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Dorothy Fields recounts how Astaire managed to inspire the reluctant Kern by visiting his home and singing while dancing on and around his furniture. It is the only number in which Astaire – again bowler-hatted – appears in blackface. The idea of using trick photography to show Astaire dancing with three of his shadows was invented by Hermes Pan, who also choreographed the opening chorus, after which Astaire dances a short opening solo which features poses mimicking, perhaps satirising, Al Jolson – all of which was captured by Stevens in one take. There follows a two-minute solo of Astaire dancing with his shadows which took three days to shoot. Astaire’s choreography exercises every limb and makes extensive use of hand-clappers. This routine earned Hermes Pan an Academy Award nomination for Best Dance Direction.
Never Gonna Dance: After Astaire sings Field’s memorable closing line: “la belle, la perfectly swell romance” of Kern’s haunting ballad, they begin the acknowledgement phase of the dance – possibly their greatest – replete with a poignant nostalgia for their now-doomed affair, where music changes to “The Way You Look Tonight” and they dance slowly in a manner reminiscent of the opening part of “Let’s Face The Music And Dance” from Follow the Fleet. At the end of this episode, Astaire adopts a crestfallen, helpless pose. They now begin the denial phase, and again the music changes and speeds up, this time to the “Waltz In Swing Time” while the dancers separate to twirl their way up their respective staircases, escaping to the platform at the top of the Silver Sandal Set – one of the most beautiful Art Deco-influenced Hollywood Moderne creations of Carroll Clark and John Harkrider. Here the music switches again to a frantic, fast-paced, recapitulation of “Never Gonna Dance” as the pair dance a last, desperate, and virtuosic routine before Ginger flees and Astaire repeats his pose of dejection, in a final acceptance of the affair’s end. This final routine was shot forty-seven times in one day before Astaire was satisfied, with Rogers’ feet left bruised and bleeding by the time they finished.

India's greatest entrepreneurial stories are all epics within themselves. One of those is the story of the Argil Group of companies. Shri Motbhai Prajapati was a potter at Sultanpur, a very small village He was blessed with a son, who was destined to create history in the region. We know him now as Shri Amarshibhai Prajapati. Since a young age, he was helping his father in the work of pottery where he attained technical expertise in the workings of clay. His father shifted to Morbi employed at Parshuram Pottery. The family and the young boy too moved to the place where he would later set up one of the most admired ceramic brands of the world.
Shri Amarshibhai too worked in the same factory for 8 to 10 years working in different roles, ranging from a manufacture of glazed jars to plaster turning moulder. He moved on to Junagadh District to serve as a moulder fro 2 years in Kathiawad Industries Ltd.
People destined to create history are always blessed	with astute vision of things to come and determination to articulate the vision into reality. Shri Amarshibhai was no different. While still employed he saw a heap of Mangalore roof tiles which	were manufactured in Mangalore South India only. Manglaore roofing tiles' main ingredient was Black and Red clay, which was available in abundance in Morbi. The nearness to the raw material and his technical know-how of clay encouraged him to start his own production of roofing tiles.
With the zeal of an entrepreneur, he returned to Morbi. With numerous trials, lot of experimentation and tremendous research, he could not design the best product or the system to mass manufacture roof tiles. While many would have given up, he was not the one to throw in the towel. He worked harder ever determined to make something big. Finally, he succeeded in developing durable beautiful Mangalore Tile. He also devised a very efficient production system to mass manufacture tiles. Trained man power was available in Morbi and that acted as a strong catalyst to start fast.
Prajapat Tiles Company was formed in 1952. Funding was the biggest challenge as the Family had very little saved. Most of the initial capital was borrowed and a small manufacturing unit was commissioned by Shri Prajapati and his team. Being the first of its kind manufacturing unit in the region and a very heavy demand of Mangalore tiles, 100% production was sold.
The founder had witnessed good & bad days. He never wished his brothers to go through the terrible struggle hence he started training his brothers, technically and commercially. Each of them was given a separate unit to manage. In modern day management we would term these as profit centers and each brother a profit centre head. The flagship company though remained Prajapat Tiles Co.
Stability is a limiting belief for those with big dreams and an even greater appetite for betterment of life. The founder did not rest on the laurels of this achievement. In the year 1999 he established ARGIL brand which manufactured and supplied high quality wall tiles. It is one of the most admired wall tile brands in India today.
Innovation and growth always go hand in hand. In the year 2010 the company ahs recently launched Quartz Stone unit. The first of its kind in India, it has the most vibrant product range in the segment.

Do You REALLY Believe Him?
Do You REALLY Believe Him? Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and His Broad Road is a nonfiction religion/philosophy book written by Evedyahni BenAvraham. The author’s biographic information lists him as the Spiritual Guide at K’hal YAH, a congregation of the Original Hebrew People located in Brooklyn, New York. He argues that, while most Christians believe that they are following the precepts of Jesus Christ, in his capacity as the Son of God, Jesus’ teachings had been altered by the Apostles and those who sought to spread Christianity in order to make the religion easier for the heathens or other peoples to follow. He points to a number of instances where Jesus’ teachings indicated that the Torah was to be obeyed above all else. Jesus uses that conviction to refuse Satan’s temptations during his forty days and nights in the wilderness, and the author shows that the lesson Jesus gives from his experiences is just that: “If we want to overcome Satan, we have to know, live, and evoke the words of the Torah.” Evedyahni BenAvraham illustrates how Jesus had conflicts with those who gave the Talmud precedence over the Torah, which cannot be “modified, or annulled...and which will remain authoritative as long as there is a Heaven and an earth.” He argues that following the precepts and teachings of Jesus, the prophet, implies following the Torah to the letter as the word of God.
Evedyahni BenAvraham’s nonfiction religion/philosophy book, Do You REALLY Believe Him?, is a fascinating look at biblical interpretation which charts the changes that Christians made to Jesus’ teachings and the road believers must take to follow Jesus’ true words. The author’s arguments are clearly and distinctly set out, and supporting biblical references are given to help the reader’s understanding, whether he is familiar with the Bible or not. I was particularly interested in his in-depth look at the Torah and his discussion on how early Christians changed Jesus’ teachings to make spreading the faith more easily accomplished. His arguments that the disciples dispensed with the rules on circumcision and food restrictions and put faith in the place of obedience to the Torah are well-made and convincing. This is a well-written text that uses Jesus’ words to illustrate the cogent points being made, and at no point did I feel that the author was proselytizing or promoting his faith. I found much within his work to think about and am pleased to have had the opportunity to read this book. Do You REALLY Believe Him? Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and His Broad Road is most highly recommended.
In the book, Do You REALLY Believe Him? Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and His Broad Road, Evedyahni BenAvraham sets out the argument that both Christians and Messianic (Jewish) Christians, whilst almost certainly believing they are following the true messiah, Jesus Christ, are in fact following the teachings of the apostle Paul, which are a direct contradiction of everything Our Lord taught. Jesus, after fasting for forty days and forty nights, resists the temptation to turn stones into bread. “Man does not live by bread alone” is a quote from Moses that validates Our Lord upholding the Torah. Apostle Paul chose to debunk large sections of the Torah, citing, among many other incidences, the promise to Abraham that his elderly wife Sarah would give birth to a child. Faith, rather than understanding and trust in Jesus, is enough? Faith, not the way we live, is sufficient to ensure a place in heaven, thus freeing humanity from Jesus’s most basic teaching: “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”?
I chose to review Do You REALLY Believe Him? Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and His Broad Road, because, from a teenager, I disliked Saint Paul intensely. There is no love, forgiveness, or compassion in this so-called prophet, just threats of hell and damnation. Aware that I was predisposed to agree with the author, I studied Do You REALLY Believe Him? with a deliberately critical eye. Evedyahni BenAvraham argues every point in depth, and he has convinced me of the truth; Christians do not follow the teachings of Jesus, and the author is correct to suggest that if we did, war, terrorism, starvation… child abuse… everything that ruins lives would not happen. This is not only a five-star book; it has the potential to save mankind from self-destruction.
Christianity has come under fire more and more in recent times and Evedyahni BenAvraham may have an answer as to why in his surprisingly straightforward analysis in Do You Really Believe Him? Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and his Broad Road. Quoting from Scripture, BenAvraham details the instructions Jesus gave his followers, even from the prophecies before Jesus’ arrival. He then points out how these simple instructions were misinterpreted and changed to create a different view of salvation, based on the figure of Jesus and not his message.
Beginning with the passage from Matthew which describes entering ‘through the narrow gate that leads to life for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,’ BenAvraham identifies that narrow gate as simply following the Torah as Jesus instructed. Jesus observed in his own lifetime that the supposed religious men were not following the Law of the Torah and were not doing as Yah commanded. Jesus advocated for all to follow the Ten Commandments as well as the ‘Shema,’ which admonishes everyone to love Yah with the fullness of our beings, and the fact that YAH is one single being, and the command to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Clearly laid out with supporting evidence directly from the Bible, Do You Really Believe Him? provides tremendously clear evidence for Christians and Messianic Jews to take a new look at and question what they believe. Is our current faith based on the ‘Broad Road’ preached after Jesus’ death and can we redefine our thinking to find and follow the ‘Narrow Path’ as instructed by Jesus? This is certainly a book worth considering for serious students of the Bible and anyone who is questioning the confusing doctrines and practices of the many divisions of the Christian faith.

As the latest Samsung flagship, we expect a lot from the #GalaxyNote8 at this time and that includes a minimum number of issues. So far, we’ve been receiving a number of connectivity-related issues for this device and we address them in this post today. We hope you’ll find our solutions helpful.
Solution: Hi Ray. If the problem did not go away after a factory reset, it’s possible that the cause is a third party app that you re-installed after the reset. Since you seemed to have identified the trigger of the bug (when you close TuneIn app), it’s very likely that the issue will go away when the phone is in safe mode. Safe mode blocks third party apps from running so if mobile data works normally when your Note 8 is in safe mode, that’s a confirmation of our hunch.
If you think that a third party app is causing the problem, you need to identify it by uninstalling apps one by one. Be sure to observe how mobile data works after every uninstallation. If you have a lot of apps installed, this process can take a long time but unfortunately, there’s no other way to do the job.
Alternatively, you can do another round of factory reset and observe how mobile data works when there are no third party apps installed. It’s basically the same process as when booting to safe mode. The only difference is that you start to pinpoint the offending app by wiping the phone first.
Once you’ve identified the bad app, you’ll want to prevent this problem from developing again in the future by making sure that you only install apps from trusted developers. Remember, apps, just like any real-world products, are not perfect. If you’re not careful what app to install, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll encounter problems.
Solution: Hi Joshuadickens78. Wifi is restricted by its range as its source is usually a fixed point, like a router in a home. Thus, it’s normal that your phone won’t have internet connection at all if it’s not in range with your router.
The only way to connect to the internet in your phone when it’s outside a wifi network is by using mobile data. Mobile data is however not free and must be activated by your carrier. So, the first troubleshooting step that we would like you to do is to ensure that you have a working mobile data connection in your account. This is something that only your carrier can do so be sure to contact them. This is a must do troubleshooting step when dealing with mobile data problems.
As long as you are in a location with good 3G or 4G coverage and mobile data is activated under your account, you should be able to connect to the internet.
Solution: Hi Johnnatindim5. Only your carrier (the company that supplies your SIM card) can give you the answers you need. Information about your mobile data subscriptions and data usage are not available for third party teams like us. You must talk to your carrier so they can advise you accordingly.
Nice to read your articles but it seems that am having some different type of problem. I have just bought a Note 8 and am experiencing drop in wifi over and over again.
Should a cache partition wipe won’t help, the next possible solution is factory reset. It’s a necessary step since you recently installed a system update. With factory reset, all software settings including that of wifi will be returned to defaults. With all software settings back to their known working state, we expect wifi to work normally again. If an operating system bug has developed, or if a bad third party app is causing the problem, factory reset should help remove it. Refer to the steps above on how to do it.
Remember, the phone’s wifi function has a hardware component. If factory reset won’t fix the problem at all, then that means that bad hardware must be to blame. You should contact Samsung or the retailer to have the phone repaired or replaced.
