Summary Notes: Practicing Summary Writing
There are many types of summaries. Let's define a summary as description of another person's work. We can summarize anything: a film, a novel, a commercial on television. We could summarize an event:
What happened?
A tornado ripped through the neighborhood.
If you're asked to write a summary of another work, an essay, a film, an academic study, you're typically being asked to write an accurate description of it and to avoid any expression of opinion or interpretation, unless you're asked to respond with an opinion or position of your own. This may require the use of technical information, quotation or paraphrase. Thoroughness and accuracy are important to a summary. Summary is often the first step to analysis, because you need to be able to describe the thing you're judging.
In this exercise you'll want to do a number of things to practice for the first summary paper and the rhetorical analysis that follows it:
Part 1
1. Find a substantial paragraph in Osterman's Good Jobs essay or in Plato's dialogue, Crito, and rewrite it in your own words. This is called paraphrase. In this you must accurately express the content of the paragraph. Try to use the same number of sentences as the original. If the original includes a quotation from another author, use this kind of language "the author quotes an author" and then continue paraphrasing. If the article contains some amount of data, use this language: "The author uses data [from]" then state the source or "The author uses data [but does not include its source]" If the paragraph contains an example as supportive evidence then write something like this: "The author uses an example to support his or her argument that [then explain the argument or point]"
2. Now take the same paragraph and accurately express its meaning in your own words with just two sentences.
3. Now take the same paragraph and express it in one sentence, capturing the "essential meaning" of the whole paragraph.
4. Repeat step 2 above but this time insert a quotation from the paragraph to illustrate the accuracy of your summary. Use a simple tag clause. Use this formula:
Sentence one . . .
The author writes, " . . . "
Concluding sentence.
5. Now try to compose things with more structure, thinking about beginning your paragraph summary with a lead or topic sentence that captures the "essential meaning" of the whole paragraph, then provide an illustrating quote. Follow this by a sentence that begins with the words "In addition". The question here is what should logically follow?
Now do the same thing with another paragraph in the same essay, repeating steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The above should provide you with a little practice at manipulating paragraphs. This is just a first step in understanding that you can condense ideas in paragraphs. But what about several paragraphs and whole essays and even books or works of philosophy? This is our goal, really.
Part 2
Next try this. Consider Osterman's essay as a whole and the title Good Jobs.
And some study questions:
1. In a brief paragraph explain why you think Osterman decided on Good Jobs: Three Reasons There Aren't More as the title. If you think this is obvious, then this should be simple. Or in a brief paragraph, explain the significance of the title.
2. Identify an area in the essay that expresses Osterman's thesis or claim. Does the title help at all? Does Osterman directly express a "thesis" (remember that a thesis is an expression of the author's Position+Reason||Examples)? Can we identify precisely and accurately where Osterman tells the audience what he wants or what his purpose is?
3. Regardless of the thesis or claim, can you identify areas in the essay where Osterman provides arguments in favor of what he wants? Identify these areas using "summary."
4. If Osterman does have a purpose how would you sum it all up in three sentences?
Now give this a go on your own. Find an opinion piece is a newspaper (from here for example or from here) and apply Parts 1 and 2 to it. This should give you lots to study. If you're not sure where to find an opinion piece, try following this link and look around some: Opinions at the Courant.
Part 3
Plato in the Crito details the arguments of the Laws to Crito's proposal that he escape. Getting bogged down by all the reasons why Crito thinks this is a good idea may not be a very good method for writing a summary because we want to boil down the work's essence for the audience. So, we might ask, what's the bottom line, at least for our purpose here? It might be a good idea to summarize Crito, on the other hand, around one of it's significant themes, such as the notion of contracts or the relationship between citizens and their residence or even the relationship between people and the law or even the notion of obligations (the list could be long). In a more extended analysis, you could examine contemporary relationships against any one of these frames. So try this:
1. Identify a significant theme in Crito and give it a good round up in a paragraph. This paragraph could be pretty lose and sketchy. You might need a couple of sentences to explain the theme, it's context, and the situation in which it arises in the dialogue as a whole. You know, what's the significant of the theme or idea to whole work (remember what a summary is for).
2. Next identify a quotation from the Crito that illustrates the idea or theme and write this quotation into the paragraph with a simple phrase, such as Plato writes or Socrates says and then write the quote, like: [Topic Sentence] Plato writes, "There are persons who at no great cost are willing to save you and bring you out of prison; and as for the informers, you may observe that they are far from being exorbitant in their demands; a little money will satisfy them." [Statement of Explanation or Relevance]

As you run your eye across Aayla (Blackout) Mint you come to see just what the countryside means to you. The delicate florals have a beautiful artistic quality that is hard to quantify, but you know it when you see it. And as for the gentle blue background, well that has dozens of options when it comes time to talk colour matching.
We love the idea of combining Mint with a gentle faded pink feature wall so that you can bookend your room between two life-affirming colours. It's all about letting your imagination run away with you, so don't be afraid to experiment.

As you say, it's not that American poor don't have difficult lives. But everything is relative, and a good percentage of the earth's population lives in conditions we in this country have a hard time even imagining. While you feel proud to be American, however, I feel mildly ashamed. What did I ever do to deserve to be so much better off, except have a lucky accident about where I was born?
Entire psychology theses, written by people much smarter than both of us, could be written on this topic. Suffice to say I come down on the side of luck being karma neutral (not in my control), but all the things I've done to take advantage of my good luck (school, work, family, healthy living, etc.) as the reasons for the success I enjoy. And so I don't feel superior to people who didn't start with the same luck I started with, but I lack sympathy for people who had all the advantages and squandered them…(cf. the mega-rich celebrities who screw up their lives with drugs & alcohol, for example…)
Not to derail the topic by bringing up politics, but one of the personal issues I've long had with the current President Bush is that, according to accounts I've read, he neither appreciated nor fully took advantage of the educational possibilities a man from his background had. Yes, he went to Yale, but he coasted by on a minimal effort, preferring to party instead of learning. He's hardly the first rich kid to do that, of course, but given that I, the son of a lowly diesel mechanic, had to work my butt off to maintain a scholarship, I find such behavior highly offensive.
And then of course there are those silly, trampy Hilton sisters… arg. The less said about them, the better, I suppose…
He was a C student, scoring 77% (with no As and one D, in astronomy) with a grade point average of 2.35 out of a possible 4.00.
What's hardly mentioned, though, is that he also went to Harvard Business School in 1973, earning his MBA in 1975 (first U.S. President to hold an MBA). I'm sure his upbringing helped him get into Harvard, but he wasn't a legacy there like he was at Yale, and while Harvard students get a lot of support, you still need to do the work to get the MBA.
Bush is by no means our smartest President, and is likely the dumbest in recent decades, but I firmly believe the whole "bumbling idiot" thing is a late-night talk show gag run amok. Just like it was with Dan Quayle.
I consider myself a reasonably smart individual, but can only imagine what the press would do to me if they wanted me to look like a complete idiot…
Now, the Hilton sisters – that's another story. Did they even go to college? If so, why?

A man has been found guilty of murder for shooting his heavily pregnant ex-wife dead with a crossbow after planning her execution for more than three years.
Ramanodge Unmathallegadoo, 51, stormed into ex-wife Sana Muhammad's home and fired a crossbow at her stomach as she fled upstairs.
The 18-inch hunting bolt pierced her heart but 'miraculously missed' her unborn child who survived following an emergency caesarean section.
Unmathallegadoo showed no trace of emotion as Judge Mark Lucraft told him: 'You have been convicted of a most horrendous crime.'
His first trial was halted in April after it emerged one of the jurors trying the killer had been 'making diagnoses of a psychiatric kind'.
The couple's marriage had been arranged when Mrs Muhammad, 34 – formerly known as Devi Unmathallegadoo – was just 15.
It ended in 2012 and Mrs Muhammad began a relationship with builder Imtiaz Muhammad who she went on to marry.
As his ex-wife moved in with her new partner, Unmathallegadoo's hated 'grew and festered' and he began plotting his revenge and watching the house.
Nests of weapons – including crossbows, harpoon spears and kitchen knives – he had left in foliage near the couple's house were discovered by neighbours and turned into the police twice.
However, each time he 'replaced his cache with fresh weapons' and by 12 November last year he had bought another two crossbows, bolts, a hammer, a knife in a homemade sheath, cable ties and duct tape.
Prosecutor Richard Horwell QC said: 'Some take revenge instantly, others take their time, time for the hatred to grow and fester.
'There can be no doubt the defendant took his time, several years, before killing the woman who used to be his wife.'
Speaking of the moment of the moment Mrs Muhammad lost her life, Mr Horwell said: 'Imtiaz ran from the shed to the house pursued by the defendant.
'Imtiaz then ran through the back door which led to the kitchen, shouting for Devi, who was in the kitchen, to run.
'The two ran from the kitchen into the hallway which led to the front door, with the defendant in close pursuit.
'Devi turned left and ran up the stairs, whereas Imtiaz ran out of the front door.
'When outside, Imtiaz turned and saw the defendant, who was now at the bottom of the stairs, shoot Devi who was halfway up the stairs.
'The defendant, who had been spending an increasing amount of time watching the house and recording the movements of the occupants and approaching and talking to his children, must have been aware of her advanced pregnancy.
'This attack was deliberately designed to take place before Devi had given birth to her child.'
Mrs Muhammad suffered a cardiac arrest due to the 'extent of her injuries and the loss of blood and the shock to her system', the prosecutor said.
After his arrest, Unmathallegadoo interrupted officers to claim: 'I didn't shoot her I was shooting Imtiaz'.
When he was told he had shot his ex-wife and narrowly avoided killing her unborn baby he remarked: 'Well that's unfortunate'.
The moment after he heard his ex-wife had died, he replied: 'Oh no', and 'put his hand on his forehead'.
Mr Horwell added: 'We suggest that was not a genuine expression of regret.
'He had collected and put together the necessary equipment to terrorise and hold captive his intended targets.
'It was a cold-blooded execution by a man who had a resolute desire for revenge and who had been consumed by hatred for a former wife who had left him for another man.'
Unmathallegadoo told the court that he only went to their home to 'confront Imtiaz' about him supposedly 'forcing' his daughter to live as a Muslim.
He said he didn't intend to shoot his ex-wife and had brought the weapons along with him as a 'deterrent' so he would not be attacked by Mr Muhammad who he was 'scared' of.
He claimed he accidentally pulled the trigger while aiming for the banister to 'startle' the pair.
Describing how his 'hand was already on the trigger' as he maneuvered the weapon to see whether the safety catch was engaged, he said: 'While I was doing that movement, my finger was on it and it just went.
'I can't explain it. It just went; it discharged.'
He added: 'I came to this trial not because I wanted to get the truth out of my chest. I know where I'm gonna end up.
'I will live with the tragedy all my life but I will go down with the truth.
'No one here knows completely exactly what happened except me.'
He added: 'At that time it was difficult for me because I was still wrestling with my thoughts and I was in such a state, I was traumatised.
'I'm normally a very calm person but inside my mind there's a torment.'
Unmathallegadoo denied murder but was convicted by the jury.
He was remanded in custody ahead of sentence on Friday 29 November.

So there is a bug AND widening wow. I rerun my fixed-depth constrained matche again after fixing the bug,Michel wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 8:58 pmWow. So it seems there is indeed substantial widening in SF. As I understand it SF is actually using SHT now (like Toga II) and not Lazy as it is commonly understood.petero2 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 8:39 pmYes it is easy to verify using print statements that the depth limit is not respected in fixed depth searches for threads other than the main thread. Fixing this is easy though. Just remove "&& mainThread".Michel wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2020 11:52 amPerhaps this is the culprit? If I read it correctly then the depth limit is only respected in mainThread.
Code: Select all
// Iterative deepening loop until requested to stop or the target depth is reached while ( (rootDepth += ONE_PLY) < DEPTH_MAX && !Threads.stop && !(Limits.depth && mainThread && rootDepth / ONE_PLY > Limits.depth))
With latest Stockfish from git I get +314 elo for 8 threads vs 1 thread at fixed depth 8. After fixing the above problem I instead get +251 elo. At fixed depth 14 I get +172 elo:
Code: Select all
d elo win draw loss 8+ 314 3501 654 301 8 251 2266 576 314 14 172 1617 1380 169
It appears the amount of widening varies wildly from engine to engine. But there does not seem to be a lot of freedom in implementing SHT. So perhaps in the end there is a mystery....
and now I get acceptable results that can be explained by hyper-threading i think.
Code: Select all
Score of stockfish-8-thread vs stockfish-1-thread: 852 - 695 - 533 [0.538] 2080
Code: Select all
Score of stockfish-8-thread vs stockfish-1-thread: 1113 - 467 - 497 [0.656] 2077
So if Stockfish is now SHT, it means there is nothing unique about LazySMP then.
Also, the fact that you don't get that much benefit with the constrained match BUT you do get significant benefit
when threads are running in parallel (non-constrained match) suggests dynamic tables being the culprit.
Edit My result after the fix is not as great as Peter's but it is still there
Code: Select all
Score of stockfish-8-thread vs stockfish-1-thread: 3629 - 1130 - 1380 [0.704] 6139
Stockfish git hash I used is from Jul 14, 2019: commit 7090d2561ae9ce3803bbc04319c4c93f

Arilash and Tarcuna and I were eating at an early lunch at Com' al Virtu. We were more direct than last time, and started off ordering a whole loaf of the zotanco al besti puree, and don't bother with the crackers since they'd be more annoyingly sticky than delightfully crunchy on dragon teeth. Tarcuna scooped up a small spoonful and licked at it delicately, and Arilash and I gobbled the rest like icecream.
A pair of hovens came in, and yelped when they saw us. This happened every time, of course, but usually the hovens were staring at Arilash and me. The man of the couple was, but the woman was staring at Tarcuna, and looking utterly devastated.
Tarcuna looked back at her. "Oh, rails of the black sun. That's Bthera!"
"Beg pardon?" asked Arilash.
"I worked with her at the Red Spires."
Arilash said, "So she's wormridden still?"
"Still? Unless you've rescued her without mentioning it to me."
Arilash glared at the liver paté, her tailtip twitching.
Bthera and her john sat as far from us as they could: not quite all the way across the room, since the furthest tables were already taken. They ordered this and that, and started to eat it. We ordered this and that and another eight dishes besides, and devoured the ones that came first. Arilash did, grudgingly, admit that Ventelian cuisine is quite tasty.
In the middle of a sentence, Bthera suddenly squeaked, and scrambled awkwardly to our table. "Tarcuna? Is that you?"
Tarcuna's fur wrinkled. "Yes, it is. Sorry — I had to resign from Red Spires pretty abruptly. I didn't manage to call and tell you."
Bthera said in a frantic voice, "Is Bopo all right?" She didn't look much like she wanted to ask that, especially so loudly.
Tarcuna laughed a laugh of draconic cruelty. She is picking up my bad habits. "Bopo is exactly where I want him."
Bthera looked greatly relieved. "We've been seeing you on television, hearing about you in the newspapers. We didn't know what had happened with you, with Bopo."
Tarcuna grinned. "Where I want him. Not where he wants him. What he wants doesn't matter anymore."
Bthera screamed in terror and despair. Arilash and I sighed: this was clearly not going to be a peaceful gourmet luncheon anymore. Bthera's consort of the day stormed over. "Bthera, what is going on?" He turned to me. "Great dragon, please ignore this woman. She should not be bothering you. She will not bother you further."
I glared at him. "She's fifteen hundred thurneys a day, plus tip, right? Tarcuna, give him fifteen hundred plus tip. I've got a better use for Bthera than you do."
Tarcuna looked eager. "Oh, you're going to do that for her? Spotty, you're so sweet! But why does he get a tip?"
"Right, no tip," I said.
Bthera picked up the table and dumped it on top of us, and turned to flee. Her john tried to take her arm, but she threw him at Arilash with one hand. We dug out from under tablecloths and a platter of very good zotanco al besti. Arilash bit my wing in annoyance. I healed myself and flew after Bthera.
Bthera was fast. No natural hoven can run as fast as the wormridden, when they need to. With the Dozenwing Dozentail, I was faster. I caught her in the middle of Pourride Avenue. Bthera was strong. No natural hoven can kick as hard as the wormridden, when they need to. She damaged me worse than the Dozenwing Dozentail had done. I couldn't subdue her at hoven size. She wasn't much of a trouble at my full size, though.
"What are you going to do with her?" asked Arilash. I had accumulated quite an audience: Arilash and Tarcuna, and hundreds of hovens wondering what the right response was when an empire-killing monster tried to abduct a beautiful woman in the street. (Or, if you prefer — and I do — when a marginally-beautiful woman tried to abduct a conquersome monster in the street.)
"I am going to give Llredh a present. Or, I am going to focus him back on something worthwhile, instead of just letting him make his newly-captured hovens miserable."
"What are you going to do to Bopo?" squeaked Bthera.
"I'll take you and him to the hospital, where he will be revealed and destroyed, and you will be set free, Bthera."
"A present for me too!" shouted Tarcuna.
Arilash bit my wing again. "We're here for a mating flight, remember? You are getting distracted."
Which is true, but cyoziworms are so disgusting.

At the beginning of the year, one evening during dinner, I announced to my family that my word of the year was PATIENCE. I was going to practice the art of patience more effectively, as impatience is an intrinsically damaging state of mind to be in, and in turn drives me into stress land, which is the first stop to the highway to my anxiety hell.
I am not totally impatient by design, but there are a few things that can raise my stress levels.
I watched as they all looked at each other, and took it in.
As the month went on, I would be pulled up by one of them on occasion.
"Remember, patience Mum?" Would be offered when they could see that my tolerance levels start to rise. And so I would check myself, take a deep breath and take a step back. I knew I had those kids for a reason. To remind me of my wayward ways.
But Christ on a Cracker there is one thing that pisses me off, no matter how much I try to control it. You see, I am a purposeful walker. I do not dig dawdlers. And yesterday I came face to face with a thousand dawdlers who, like me, were doing some errands at the shopping centre.
You know how when you watch the horse races, if indeed you do, and you see them all come around the bend on a bunched up group before they try to see a gap to race through? That was me yesterday when I found myself in the middle of a giant pack of slow walking, slack-jawed shoppers who were moving at a snail's pace, while looking up and sideways at their surroundings. I kept trying to spy a gap, and would identify an opening about a millisecond before that person would stop, to admire a bit of fluff on the floor or something as exciting as that. I ran the risk of trying to break through the opening, but also ran the risk of being that dreadful person known as a "Barger".
A barger is the ultimate purposeful walker, and as much as I hate being caught up in the pack, I would never resort to such arrogant practices.
So yesterday, in that 45 seconds of inconvenience, I practiced my patience and hang back in the pack, only to break free when a small group wheeled off into Kikki K. It was only then that I was able to pick up the pace and get the kids into Just Cuts, where the line was long. But being the patient person that I am now, I didn't mind the wait.

Talking About
The Longhair
~ Part One
Stackhouse, the infamous OwyheeStar Gray Longhair Stud Dog, was featured on yesterday's blog. Many of our readers have gorgeous pups from a Stackhouse-sired litter. You might find it interesting to note that there are more smooth coats than longhairs. To get a litter in which the longhair pups present requires a Mama who carries the DNA marker for the fluffy-coat, too! Even when they do, unless they are also a Longhair (and not just a Carrier), only a portion of the litter will have the longer coat length.
The Affected and The Carrier
When mating the Affected (a Longhair such as Stackhouse) with a Weimaraner who is a Carrier (such as Dazee) statistically, we should be able to expect 50% of the pups to be Longhairs. Over the last decade plus, we have learned this is an average and not a guarantee. (Ha!) For example, we mated the same pair two years in a row. The first year we only had two longhairs in a litter of eight pups. The next year (with the same everything) we had six longhairs in a litter of eight. It is like everything Weimaraner; predictions are nearly impossible.
Two Carriers mated are said to result in a 25% longhair to smooth coat ratio. There are other factors, but as with the aforementioned (Longhair to Carrier) scenario, it is impossible to predict the outcome. On a couple of occasions, the Carrier to Carrier mating produced no longhairs-othertimes, the result was near the 50% ratio. It is difficult for everyone who is hoping for the Longhair arrival status.
Many folks covet the smooth coats out of such a mating. Their coats tend to be thicker and velvet-like. Waterfowl hunters like to find such a pup because the coat is not only a bit warmer but water resistant. Sure they still get wet, but there is a measure of protection.
The Hair Factor
There is no doubt that the Longhairs are a bit messier; however, it is nothing as you imagine. Unlike the more popular Labrador, the Longhair Weimaraner doesn't deposit hair all over you and your belongings. It is hard to believe this as being true–especially if you are coming from a situation where you are vacuuming hair from a fur family member who has been gone for some time. It is good to keep them groomed, but even for those that go natural, it is shocking how little they shed.
Longhair Discussions
This blog is the first in a short series discussing the Longhair Weimaraner. Some of you are adverse to the idea of the tendrils (or the feathering) and a fluffy tail. Others are intrigued, and still many of you have both a Longhair and a traditional smooth coat Weimaraner.
We might also mention that the Longhair coat varies widely–some are thick, but more often they are similar looking to the classic look with the feathering on the ears and legs. Oh and then there is the ever so slight additional fluff on the face that almost speaks to a teddy bear look.
The Longhair always sports the undocked tail (unless there was a mistaken assumption that they were a smooth coat). Expedited DNA Testing helps prevent such an error. The newborn pups (longhair and traditional) are nearly impossible to sort; therefore, to ensure accuracy, we do the DNA testing.

Don't roll your eyes, please, but I don't mind when I find metal records calming or tranquil. The reason bands such as Cynic, latter Anathema, and Ulver always resonate with me is because they are something beyond the brutal and devastating and instead put their music in a more imaginative, sometimes dream state. I don't need thrashed all the time, and when a record can move me from the inside, that's a welcome experience.
Digging into "Prisoner of Sunlight," the debut full-length record from Austaras, gave me that exact feeling. While there is rocky terrain and explosive sections, so much of this record make it feel like I'm catapulting through the clouds, on my way to the sun. Violence isn't on the tip of my tongue. Instead, I find I'm stretching my mind and immersing myself in the band's liquidy passages. While post-black metal remains a part of the band's base, they've really pushed much further on this record, fully embracing soaring prog rock, jazzy sounds, and also some stormy weather to keep you aware of your surroundings. It's easy to get swept away during these songs, and this has been a record I've turned to quite a bit the past two weeks as work has piled up on top of me.
Austaras, based in Chicago, have been active nearly a decade now, but the only other release they have under their belt is a 2011 EP "Under the Abysmal Light." This new effort is not as dark and thorny as that one, but as noted, it trades some of those elements for a path more cosmically enlightening. The band is comprised of primary members John Becker (vocals, guitars, violin, viola, analog synth), Adam Hansen (vocals, drums, percussion), and Shane Hill (guitars), as well as Jeremy Eberhard (synth, piano), and Richard Stancato (bass), who were a crucial part of the studio creation. The band's work here seems like fluid, ever-changing being itself. You never know where you're headed next, be it straight down into a murky valley or right into the sky, but that's part of the adventure. The vocals almost are entirely devoid of growls, and the combination of Becker and Hansen's singing gives this a softer, more reflective touch that sets the band apart.
"Deserter" is the first taste of Austaras' expanded sound, complete with elegant guitar playing, synth waves, and eventually a charged-up tempo met with rich clean vocals. "Desert the path honored by ruins," it is urged, as the band slips in spacious solos, prog twists, and a nice bit of crunch at the end. "Thrones" has spacey keys that surge into bursts, with soulful, soaring guitars shooting out like beams of light, and the singing blending right in. The drums rattle away, while the band takes some colorful angles, the synth feels like a cool breeze, and acoustic guitars settle before one final burst. "Refractions" is a slow-moving piece, with clean sounds trickling, the guitar work glimmering brightly, and a moody sentiment creating a shadow over the song. "Threshold" has a damn nice riff that brings you in, sticking with you and pushing you into a more rock-oriented segment. "Enter and be judged," as the singing takes the reins, the song gets edgier as it goes, and a melding of synth and power at the end is punctuated by the first gnarly growls of the record.
"Ossify" has clean guitars dripping, moody, gentler passages sprawling out, and even a woodsy sequence that gives the track a little bit of a rustic feel to it. "Fractures," which runs 10:05 and doesn't feel nearly that long, then erupts from the gates, blistering and making impacts on the ground. The singing once again is really strong here, as the track goes from the volcanic to settled and back again, with the urge of, "Sever your mind from all physical borders," hanging in the air and circling your mind. A synth fog settles in, and out of that comes some great soloing that cuts its way through and toward the rousing group callback of, "Into the fractures we shall fall, never to return." Really good track. "Reflections" brings things back down again, as it is filled with acoustic strumming and wordless harmonies, leading you into the instrumental finale "Seaworthy." Here, clean guitar, looping bass, and jazzy rhythms take hold, creating a foggy picture. Guitars take a heavier role as the song progresses, burning brightly over everything, and then things really open up and chug about halfway through. The scene gets murkier and serene as the track winds to a close, with waves crashing, a mist creating a film over your face, and the album floating off into the distance, ever so slowly until you no longer can make out its image.
Austaras' work is indicative of a band that, while metal at heart, doesn't feel the need to be a slave to any one sound. They put so many different colors and textures into "Prisoner of Sunlight" that is really is a record that has new things to discover with each listen. This is a really enjoyable, adventurous album, and Austaras is a band whose future direction really is anyone's guess. And it'll be pretty awesome following them on that ride.

We have had insurance for our dogs from three different companies, first VPI, the Petfirst and now Petplan. Our claim for a CT scan was processed in a week and our check is on the way. We were preauthorized for $5000 cancer treatment for our dog. Be sure to read the instructions on the claim forms carefully. Petplan requires more documentation than the other companies did, so you have to ask your vets' offices for more stuff. However, most are happy to help and this practice probably helps them keep their costs down.

For whatever reason, whether it's to keep their ratings high or to prevent damage to their cars, there are some things Uber and Lyft drivers won't tell their passengers, even if they'd really love to.
To bridge the divide, we asked Uber and Lyft drivers everywhere to weigh in on the one thing they'd love to tell passengers but can't.
We've anonymously included some of the more constructive thoughts here:
'Don't make us wait the full five minutes that Uber gives you. The app gives you a minute-by-minute update as to when we will be there to pick you up, yet you can't be ready when we get there?'
'Seriously, though, it takes a high level of professionalism sometimes to prevent letting a rude passenger's attitude affect your next passenger's experience, especially during a rapid transition where your next ride is booked before the current one ends.'
'I love drama. I want to know 100% of the information, even though I know none of these people. There is no better way to pass the time with a stranger than gossiping about people I'll never see again.'
'It doesn't.'
'It feels great to hear a sincere 'thank you' from the customer after the ride ends.'
'Many don't seem to notice or care and I feel like a fly on the wall.'
'And filing a report saying I was rude because I wouldn't let you have more riders than what is legally allowed or that I wouldn't let you bring in an open container of alcohol really isn't going to do you much good.
'At the end of the day, it's my car, my time, and my life. I am a human just like you, and you are treated the exact way you treat me.
'If you don't take the time to ensure you put in a proper pickup location, don't answer your messages or phone calls, take too long (five minutes is way too long to get to a car), or are rude, before or during your pickup, I will cancel your ride and won't feel sorry for you being inconvenienced and charged a cancellation fee.'
'Some people are heavy smokers and they stink up my car with cigarette smell. I wish they would spray cologne or perfume before getting inside the vehicle.'
'... without worrying about a steep ratings drop.'
'If you feel like you've been given above and beyond great service, throw a couple bucks to the driver. It makes a huge difference.'
'And cocaine is bad for you.'
'I would love to tell rude and obnoxious riders to get out of my car.'
'You try doing this for a living, i.e. keeping your car pristine, predicting traffic and road construction, and always being in a good mood.'

Remember keeping your hair pulled back away from your face and neck prevents your hair from becoming dishevelled and damaged by the water and salt from your sweat.
The ponytail is a very obvious choice for an exercise friendly hairstyle as it is the easiest and quickest to achieve. It also works for everyone as long as your hair is long enough to be pulled back! You can also rock a ponytail with a twist by teasing the crown of your head and adding extra volume to the hairstyle.
The bun is another typical hairstyle to sport when working out. A bun works best for girls with longer hair as it keeps your hair completely away from the face. Braid the ponytail before you tie it back into a bun as it will make the bun a lot more secure. For a twist, leave a section of your hair out and wrap it around the bun to add some instant glamour.
Braids and plaits are another classic workout hairstyle that works well if you are prone to frizzy hair. This is also a great choice if you are going to be performing exercises on your back since it doesn't create a bulge on the back of your head like ponytails and buns. Make a fashion statement by plaiting your hair at the front from one side to the other to create a headband braid, stylishly keeping your hair away from your face!
|Braids & Plaits
So rock one of these workout friendly hairstyles to make yourself look and feel great while getting in shape! In the mean time, keep your hair looking healthy and more manageable and book yourself a treatment or a cut at a salon near you on SalonAddict.ie.

Why SilverSneakers Members Love Our Classes
You'll get stronger, feel happier, and have fun with new friends!
Whether you're starting an exercise routine for the first time in your life or looking to mix up your workouts, SilverSneakers classes have something for you. Find out what SilverSneakers members love about our senior exercise classes and the wide variety of options that are available.
You'll Get Fit and Make Friends
"I started about six years ago," says SilverSneakers member Pat Minitti. "I was stiff. No balance. No flexibility." Shortly after he began attending classes, he noticed an improvement in those areas—and felt more capable.
But his favorite part of classes? "The camaraderie," he says.
He's not alone. Most people don't join SilverSneakers to meet new friends, but friendships are what keep them coming back. In fact, 49 percent of active members say they are motivated to continue exercising because they have a SilverSneakers friend.
And the power of friendship goes beyond exercise. "This place is filled with kindness, smiles, and caring elderly ladies who, like me, go for therapeutic reasons, but who have also formed a family here," says SilverSneakers member Rosa Juarez. "Some of us have lost loved ones and have also found new friends to love."

Our Instructors Have Your Back (and Hips and Core)
You'll encounter SilverSneakers instructors of all ages. Some have spent their entire careers in fitness. Others decided to become instructors in their 60s or 70s.
But they always have two things in common. One, SilverSneakers instructors are trained in senior fitness. Two, they'll support you on your exercise journey.
"The best part is there's an instructor," says SilverSneakers member Marilyn Gillham. "If you're not using the right muscle the right way or you're turning your wrist the wrong way, they can help you."
Got a bad knee or balance issues? Have a chronic condition like diabetes? Previously had a stroke? Let instructors know, and they can adapt exercises for your needs. For example, they can modify a standing exercise so you can do it seated in a chair.
There's a Class for You, No Matter Your Fitness Level
What began in 1992 as a first-of-its-kind class for older adults has grown to a program with senior exercise classes for different levels and interests. Even better, SilverSneakers members can take as many different classes as they want!
Classes vary by location, but here's a sample of what you'll find.
SilverSneakers Classic
You'll move to music through exercises that increase strength and range of motion. A chair is available for support, and you don't have to get down on the floor for exercises.
This beginner-friendly class emphasizes hip stability, shoulder mobility, and core strength. "The stronger we are in the core, the better able we are to work everything else," says SilverSneakers instructor Terri Tracey.
SilverSneakers Circuit
You'll use light weights, resistance tubes, and a SilverSneakers ball for a full-body workout. A chair is available for support.

You'll build endurance and core strength with this heart-healthy aerobics class.

Washington: Model system researchers have identified factors linked to mortality among individuals aged 16 years and older who were more than one year post- traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The research team, which included investigators from five regional TBI Model Systems, analysed data from the database of the TBI Model System National Data and Statistical Center.
They identified 1,163 decedents and 10,839 matched controls and examined the following physical, cognitive and psychosocial outcomes: Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale, Disability Rating Scale, Participation Assessment with Recombined Tool Objective, and Satisfaction With Life Scale.
Co-author Erica Weber said, "Among individuals who died, we found significantly poorer performance on all measures."
"Most significant was the difference in FIM Motor scores, which points to independence in mobility as an important factor for long-term survival in this population. Another big difference was in community participation," she added.
The study shows the need for a longer and more detailed study of health and lifestyle factors in the TBI population.
"By identifying modifiable risk factors, we can develop strategies for prevention and early intervention, which will reduce the risk of death and improve the lives of individuals and caregivers," concluded Weber.
The full findings are present in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation....

4 Signs that it's time to change your lights!
How many times have you seen a building with failed lights on the outside, or mismatching colours? Chances are that when the lights were first installed, it looked fantastic, but it's probably long overdue a refit. In this article, we'll look at 4 different ways to tell that a lighting installation needs updating.
- Failures
Sooner or later, all luminaires will fail. Sometimes, depending on the installation, it won't be that noticeable if a few fixtures have failed, but often there will be gaps in the lighting scheme or details that are not illuminated. Even worse, with colour mixing LED fixtures, a single channel can fail which means that the luminaire will be on the wrong colour- imagine a situation where red and green channels are being mixed to create amber, but the red channel has failed on one fixture so one of the lights is green instead.
- Light Output Dropping
Over time, all types of lights drop in output; the lifetime of LED fixtures is usually measured to when the light output is at 70% of what it was initially (this is called L70). Over a long period of time, the light output of the fixtures will change, so what was once a vibrant installation will eventually look faded and dull.
- Colour Shift
Subtle variations in colour can be obvious, and this is something that will happen to luminaires over time, particularly those that are driven hard or use lower quality components. When the light output of a fixture changes over time, the red, green and blue portions will not necessarily drop at the same rate. If the ratio between two colours, say red and blue, changes over time, mixing those colours together will have different results.
- Energy Efficiency
This is not such a visually obvious sign that lights need changing, but it is still very important. If a lighting scheme is still using metal halide, halogen or other traditional lamp types, it will be far less energy efficient than an LED scheme. Often the cost of upgrading to LED fixtures will be offset by the energy savings provided by the more efficient lights.
At Pulsar Light of Cambridge Ltd. With a World Record: LED Installation-Longest Continuous Service, with two lighting installations that have surpassed the 100,000 hours point and are still going strong, we are dedicated to designing and manufacturing the most reliable, durable and longest lasting luminaries.

i can not enable wireless adapter. i installed every driver related but it doesnt work. just LAN ethernet cable enabled. i can connect to internet with ethernet cable only, not wireless.
i installed Intel wireles LAN (11abgn, 11bgn, 11ac) driver and Thinkpad 11bgn wireless LAN mini-PCI Express Adapter II
it works when i restore factory default windows recovery disk but it doesnt work when i fresh install win 7 pro x64.

Do it well, worse becomes itself
part is : intel centrino advanced-n 6200 agn
i installed by searching drivers inside local drive. it doesnt install automatic.
For Intel 6200 laptop doesn't need Thinkpad 11bgn wireless LAN mini-PCI Express Adapter II you mentioned above as that one isn't intended for Intel's adapter. Different cards drivers might conflict with each other and don't allow adapter to work properly.I hope you installed the following drivers:http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x201/downloads/DS030245Nevertheless, why don't you use ThinkVantage System Update app for driver installation?I'd suggest to remove every wlan card driver related item, reboot laptop and discard driver installation, install and launch TVSU and follow that app. Perhaps there is something.missed in your system.

If you are looking for a bathroom decoration that will rejuvenate you and comfort you, the Japanese style is perfect for you! You can transform your bathroom into a magical area with a Japanese style that refresh and purifies the human body.
Minimalism and simplicity are not enough for a good Japanese bath. It should also be an ergonomic and natural design that responds to all needs. Care must be taken that bathroom fittings are chosen in the right size and that the furniture and stones to be used are compatible with the Japanese style. If you have a large area for bathroom decoration and are looking for a Japanese bath that will accommodate other rooms of your home; this natural wood-coated design can be what you're looking for. With simple yet stylish and elegant selections, you can best reflect the Japanese style in your bathroom.
You can create a Japanese style bathroom by using the very befitting wood and glass together. You can combine different materials for your bathroom as well as use the different colors together. In the past, bathrooms and bath materials are always one color, and nowadays all kinds of materials and colors can be found. Who can say no to a bath made of bamboo and natural stones?
Don't you want to create a small spa center in your home? You need a warm bathtub and a quiet, dark environment to comfort you. A different bathtub for your spa center can change the air of your bathroom. If you are available when choosing a bathtub, choose a bathtub with creative ideas. For example, a bowl shaped design can be a focus of interest.
Most of us dreamed of a Japanese style bathroom. With granite transformations, white oval bathtub and pebbles… If you have sufficient possibilities and rely on your designer direction, what do you stand to create a great Japanese bath?
If the minimalism in Japanese style means everything to you, then we have found the way to your heart. A perfect bathroom with a stone and glass covered by white domination is just for you, the best part of it is that you can easily get a glass repair if something goes wrong. It is very important in the plants that you will use with the Far East bath, where naturality and simplicity are in the forefront. Do not forget to put bamboo and colorful violets on the side of the tub.
If you are thinking of a Japanese style bathroom in your home, Feng Shui must be in your interest. If you take a look at the rules of Feng Shui philosophy, you can make it easy to decorate.

Doctor of Philosophy candidate
Master of Arts with First Class Honours
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminology
She is passionate about championing children's rights, says Jazz Robson who is currently completing a PhD focused on participation rights of young people.
"Participation rights, enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, were designed to be inalienable for all children. However, given their essence, they are also the most contentious of all children's rights, especially in law and policy discourse. For my PhD thesis I'm particularly focusing on children's right to have their views taken into account when adults are making decisions that affect their lives.
"I'm hoping that this thesis will provide a platform for future research that is dedicated to ensuring young people's rights are protected and adhered to by the justice system. Most importantly, my research is giving a voice to those in the justice system who are often silenced: our tamariki."
Fulfilling a promise
There is also a personal reason behind her PhD research, says Jazz whose thesis is supervised by Professor Marilyn Waring, Associate Professor Sharyn Graham Davies and Dr Kirsten Hanna.
"My PhD is fulfilling a promise I made to my Uncle John who was an inspiring academic, mentor and champion educator for New Zealand tamariki.
"I hope that one day, by completing my PhD, I can follow in his footsteps and make a positive difference, in policy and law, for all New Zealand tamariki," says Jazz whose research is supported by an AUT Vice-Chancellor Doctoral Scholarship.
Lighting the fire
She has always been interested in society and people, says Jazz who has already completed a bachelor's and a master's degree in social sciences and public policy at AUT.
"From a young age, I was highly observant and curious about the world around me. I wanted to know what makes humans human, and what role society plays in shaping who we are and what we become. The Bachelor of Arts in the School of Social Sciences and Public Policy provided me with the answers I was looking for and made me curious enough to keep on studying."
Her studies also helped her find her passion, Jazz says.
"In my years of studying here at AUT, I was fortunate to have an academic mentor whose passion for children, children's rights and child policy kindled my passion for this area of study. It was through her influence and mentorship that I found my purpose and where I 'fit' in academia. Indeed, when you find what makes you feel truly alive you should stick to it."

Two sides of the story
Our strategic partner, British Gas, created with Carers UK a film highlighting the impact that caring can have on people's lives - and how those closest to them may be unaware of the emotional toll that caring can create. With more than 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK, our recent survey found that 81% reported having felt lonely or isolated as a result of their caring role. And although carers sometimes find it difficult to share how they feel, we believe it's time for us all to talk about caring and help carers get the support they need.
The people in the film are each caring for someone who is older, disabled or seriously ill. And the person accompanying them is very close, yet unaware of how their caring responsibilities are personally affecting them. After viewing the film, many carers have told us how strongly this relates to their own experiences - and how keen they were to share the film with their friends and family.
We launched an edit of 'Two sides of the story' in cinemas during Carers Week, promoted through digital and social media and also British Gas' communication channels including emails, website and billing.

Please don't mark this as a duplicate of this Feature Request, as this existing one is way too complex, outdated for the current version, and honestly doesn't make this any simpler (the point of this FR) https://answers.presonus.com/3164/seria ... as-note-fx
Feature Request: A simpler more effective way to use a 3rd party VSTi / AU instrument as a "note processor" for another virtual instrument. Preferrably one that A) exists on a SINGLE track along with the target instrument and B) addresses the problems with note timing in the current system as detailed below.
(examples of Note processors: xfer Records Cthulhu, WA Instachord, WA Instascale, Scaler, Captain Chords, etc)
Problems with current system:
1. Multiple tracks takes more time to set up, to edit, to re-arrange, and makes the entire process of using a 3rd party arpeggiator or generator much more tedious than it could be with a singular track approach. If it's incorporated into Multi Instruments or within the NoteFX system, fine, just let us do it on one track please.
2. Instrument input / output routing or Direct Input produces unpredictable note delays that throw off the timing of recorded performance when used on separate tracks in conjunction with the Low Latency (Green Z) Monitoring for VIs and the Double Buffer system. This is a huge pain point every time I have to use my 3rd party arpeggiators or generators (Cthulhu, Instachord, Instascale) as I have to correct lots and lots of note data.
Many users are not going to stop using their favorite instruments so I'm sure many users would appreciate if this is addressed.

Argentine striker Mauro Icardi has left Inter Milan's pre-season camp by mutual consent and will play no part in the pre-season tour of Asia.
A statement on Inter website noted: "Mauro Icardi will today return to Milan from our training camp in Lugano.
"The club and the striker have come to this decision by mutual agreement. Icardi will continue his pre-season training over the next few days and will take no part in our Summer Tour in Asia."
In recent months, Icardi has fallen out with chiefs at the club and is understood to have been told by new manager Antonio Conte that he does not feature in plans and is up for sale.
Price Tag
Inter have slapped a €60m (£53m) price-tag on the forward, which is half the €120m figure they wanted for him a year ago with the club last week saying they were ready to cash on midfielder Radja Nainggolan.
In order to not deny both players their right to work, Inter has asked them to train alone and work with personal fitness staff rather than participate in tactical drills.
In place of Icardi, Inter has cast their eye on Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku and AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko but both deals appear to be a long way off.
United even turned down both Icardi and Nainggolan in part-exchange deals for the Belgian striker.

Press releases / January 25, 2019
On 23rd of January, IEE S.A. (IEE) has demonstrated inside Yanfeng Automotive Interiors' (YFAI) new Experience in Motion demonstrator 2020 (XiM20) concept vehicle, an immersive user experience enabled through the sophisticated 3D vision technology combined with the large screen technology.
As autonomous driving and new mobility services transform car travel, the car interior experience will become increasingly important to the consumer. Less time will be needed for driving tasks, so this new living space must offer a variety of use case scenarios through intuitive, interactive and convenient concepts.
One key advancement is the fusion of interior products and sensing technologies to continuously provide a unique and premium user experience. Therefore, YFAI, the world leader in automotive interiors, and IEE, the leading provider of car interior sensing solutions, have partnered to develop joint technologies.
The result is "Active Space" - a revolutionary interactive 3D sensing solution combined with a tailored Human-Machine Interface (HMI) delivery. Active Space is a unique combination of in-cabin 3D sensing and large surface display technology. It enables an immersive interaction between passengers and their surrounding interior environment for entertainment, communication and ambience. Active Space, implemented in the rear zone of the XiM20, offers secluded comfort where passengers can retreat from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives.
IEE has therefore developed a state-of-the-art 3D high-resolution stereo camera with sophisticated algorithms, offering these unique user experiences and in addition advanced safety features.
"We are looking forward to continuing our strategic partnership with Yanfeng and creating many other innovative sensing solutions in the field of automotive interiors of the future." says Paul Schockmel, VP Strategy, Innovation and Marketing of IEE.

A Stomacher® 400 was used as part of the study to homogenize beef tissue. The study showed that Baader processing can improve quality and add value to beef shanks by removing the sinew and increasing the lean percentage of the desinewed lean. Processed parts of the shank are more valuable than the whole shank due to sinew now being a legal sausage ingredient.
