Augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) is seeing increased usage throughout every industry fathomable from health-care to the service industry, from business to banking. In this article, we will look at just how profoundly augmented and virtual reality impacts the medical and social intricacies associated with our addictions.
New app, Interventionville, is aiming to do just this, and with our current knowledge of how to form positive habits by proactive rehabilitation is showing just how poignant augmented reality tech is becoming in not only treating addictions, but developing day to day habits.
Interventionville – addiction app of the future
Founded by doctor, Matthew Prekupec, Order 66 Labs is the company behind one of the strongest initial showings when it comes to VR and AR's ability to replicate a soothing, rehabilitative environment for addicts. The app allows the patient to browse treatment options in a virtual village, clinic or hospital and provides first-hand experience as to how each treatment for their addictions will feel. Picking a treatment type is a crucial first step, and the stigma and potential shame of physically going into a treatment center is bypassed through the addict's use of a VR headset.
Comfort and support groups are also available in Interventionville, with the ability to share your story in a safe environment, without the fear of feeling judged or inadequate. For introverted patients or patients who are not comfortable with the limelight of these support groups, it makes the process easier to start.
A more sensitive aspect of the app is the five character models used to show the debilitating side-effects of highly toxic drugs. From end-stage alcoholism to heart failure from stimulant use, to an opioid overdose, this section of the app can open your eyes to the slippery slope of using. Users of Interventionville can skip this section as it is fairly graphic and unsettling.
How changes we see through AR and VR profoundly impacts our habits
Behavioral science addresses why people do the things that we do. Treating behavioral problems, including addictions, focuses on pharmaceuticals and mental rehabilitation via counseling and psychotherapy. The mind is shaped in such a way that seeing is believing, and visual stimuli impact the brain to a high degree.
Evidence coming out of places like Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab show that changing one's body shape in any way in a virtual reality environment briefly changes one's behavior in the real world. Books like Psychocybernetics highlight similar principles in that deep visualization and belief brings about the most significant change in one's life.
AR and VR based behavioral programs don't revolutionize this sentiment but accelerate it. The mind grasps onto visual stimuli, and the overlays and sensory experiences that AR and VR offer, use this fact to its advantage.
While VR and AR technologies will not outright replace other forms of rehabilitation, adding AR and VR technologies and programs to existing methods of recovery has made a significant impact.
With prices of these technologies dropping, more institutions, businesses, and communities are adopting this technology. Classified as a form of psychotherapy, it can also help people adhere to healthy habits that they carry on outside the augmented and virtual reality space.
Advances in body tracking add to the immersion of the experiences in VR and AR, which will undoubtedly allow even the most technologically inept person to feel comfortable.

Giants outhit Cardinals 12-7
No celebrating for Colby Rasmus after a career-best six-RBI game. The St. Louis Cardinals' center fielder blamed himself for a misplay that helped put the game out of reach.
Aubrey Huff hit three home runs and matched his career best with six RBIs and the San Francisco Giants hammered a pair of rookie pitchers making their major league debuts in a 12-7 victory on Thursday night.
Rasmus hit his second career grand slam and had a two-run triple to help make it a contest for the Cardinals, who dropped three of four at home to the Giants for the first time since June 30-July 3, 2003. But he was guilty of gliding on pitcher Jonathan Sanchez' leadoff double in a three-run sixth.
"Off the bat, I didn't think it was going to go quite that far," Rasmus said. "It just didn't go where I thought it was going. I felt like I've been running down balls all right.
"I ain't going to blame it on anything. I just missed the play."
Rasmus is among the league leaders with six triples, topping his total of five the previous two seasons. He's been streaky at the plate with three multihit games in his last 13 games and nine games without a hit and is batting .279 with five homers and 26 RBIs, third-best on the team.
"Some days it finds the barrel and some days it don't," Rasmus said. "I go through times where I look like I'm lost up there, but I try to put good swings on them and it just ain't happening for me.
"And then like tonight, I run into some pitches that I hit."
Albert Pujols had two hits, a steal and scored twice for the Cardinals.
Huff, who entered batting .219, hit two-run homers in the fourth and ninth and a solo shot in the seventh for his first three-homer game. He also had an RBI single in the sixth. Huff raised his average 14 points while leading the surge for the Giants, who set a season high for runs.
Huff has four homers and seven RBIs the last two games after totaling four RBIs the previous 16 games.
Freddy Sanchez added a homer and four RBIs for San Francisco.
The NL Central-leading Cardinals had been 13-1-1 in their previous 15 series since dropping two of three at San Francisco from April 8-10, leaving town with a 3-6 record.
Triple-A callup Lance Lynn (0-1) needed 56 pitches to get through five innings working on three days' rest, but retired only one of four hitters to start the Giants' three-run sixth. Double-A reinforcement Mikail Cleto hit 98 mph several times on the stadium radar in the seventh but walked the first two hitters and surrendered back-to-back homers to Sanchez and Huff in a five-run inning that made it 10-3.
Lynn retired the first 10 batters in order before faltering.
"I felt good and it's good to get it under my belt," Lynn said. "I need to keep pushing and fighting to get deeper into games.
Manager Tony La Russa slotted Lynn ahead of Jaime Garcia in the rotation, giving the left-hander an extra day to get over a disastrous outing in which he surrendered 12 runs in 3 1-3 innings in Colorado. The move also set up Garcia, Kyle Lohse and Chris Carpenter to face the Cubs in a weekend series starting Friday, but left the Cardinals short in the Giants finale.
La Russa was out to the mound for a pep talk with Cleto before Huff finished rounding the bases on his seventh homer of the season.
Jonathan Sanchez (4-3) allowed three runs in 5 1-3 innings, surviving a season-high six walks. Freddy Sanchez had a season high for RBIs with a three-run homer in the seventh and a run-scoring groundout in the sixth.
Rasmus' two-run triple put the Cardinals ahead 3-0 in the third and his grand slam came in the seventh against Guillermo Mota, who has allowed at least one run in his last five appearances with a total of eight runs allowed. Hitters are 11 for 23 against him during that stretch.
NOTES: Ryan Theriot singled in the second and is batting .387 (26-for-67) during a career-best 16-game hitting streak, the longest current run in the majors. ... Giants manager Bruce Bochy doesn't think injured 2B Mark DeRosa (wrist) is close to returning, adding, "He says he doesn't feel anything, which shocks me." ... Huff has 13 career multihomer games. ... Two Cardinals pitchers made their debut in the same game for the first time since 1994 (Frank Cimorelli and Bryan Eversgerd). ... Allen Craig had an RBI double is 11-for-22 during a seven-game hitting streak. ... RHP Jake Westbrook struck out on three pitches in his first career pinch-hit appearance. He was a curious choice, given he's 2-for-19 on the year with eight strikeouts.

The Incredibles 2 is getting two tie-in comics, with one exploring the Parr family's domestic life.
Entertainment Weekly reports the first comic, Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home, follows Dash and Violet doing housework while their parents Bob and Helen go grocery shopping. However, their superpowered baby brother Jack-Jack turns simple housework into total chaos.
Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home, described as an all-ages graphic novel, is written by Liz Marsham and illustrated by Nicoletta Baldari.
The second comic is a three-issue miniseries titled Incredibles 2: Crisis in Mid-Life! & Other Stories, and it contains two two parallel stories. The first one is Crisis in Mid-Life!, which follows Mr. Incredible fighting the supervillain Bomb Voyage who wants to ruin a new submarine dedication ceremony.
The second story is Bedtime Story, where Mr. Incredible tells Jack-Jack a story from his glory days, one that Dash and Violet have never heard of before. The series is written by Christos Gage and Landry Q. Walker, and illustrated by Gurihiru, J.Bone, Andrea Greppi, and Roberta Zanotta.
Both comics will be released later this year, while The Incredibles 2 opens in theaters on June 15. For more on The Incredibles, read why we think the first film remains one of Pixar's best and check out the full voice and character list for the sequel.

"Not another energy drink", we thought – and so we invented something completely new: all i need. White Tea. A natural eye-opener with 23 mg/100 ml fully natural caffeine from organic white tea. With a delicious, unique taste, thanks to lime, apple and turmeric. Full taste, full effect. A highly activating refreshment for 100% performance – in the job as well as in sports or at the next party.
The experts' answer: hardly. Because our organic white tea is made of young, fresh and highest-quality tea leaves, which are dried immediately after harvest. Without additives or fermentation. That's why the high caffeine content not only is completely natural, but also depends on the harvest. And as we don't add artificial caffeine, it's possible that in one of the following harvest years all i need will have a different caffeine content (2018: 23 mg/100 ml). You can't trick nature – and we wouldn't want to.
It provides natural sweetness, delivers carbon hydrates and has a balanced glucose and fructose content. And now the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question: How many apples are used for sweetening 250 ml all i need. White Tea? 5? 3? … 1/4 apple is the right answer!
Limes taste a little tangier than lemons. And as we were looking for the perfect complement to the other components of our all i need. White Tea, we chose this citrus fruit. And, let's be honest, can a drink be refreshing enough?
This miracle root was already used more than 5,000 years ago in Indian and Chinese medical cuisine. Apart from its positive effects on our health, we chose it primarily due to its astringent taste. And, of course, it provides the nice, sunny yellow of our all i need. White Tea.
all i need. White Tea can be described best with a superlative: it's currently the only drink on the market with a high caffeine content coming only from natural ingredients (without additives). Highly caffeinated thanks to the white tea's natural premium caffeine, which ensures a long-lasting and positive effect. The white tea's taste is rounded off with lime, apple and turmeric. Overall, a real natural power-pack.

Do you like this video?
Bantos fighting is a fighting style used by Teyla Emmagan and the Athosians. It makes use of either one, or two sticks called Bantos rods. Teyla teaches the style to many members of the Atlantis expedition including Major John Sheppard and Dr. Harriet Hewston. (SGA: "Hot Zone", "Sunday")
When looking for the missing Athosians, Dr. Jennifer Keller and Teyla Emmagan are attacked by three Bola Kai warriors, but Teyla is able to defeat them using her expertise in Bantos fighting. In lieu of Bantos rods, Teyla used a large stick in one hand, and a blade in the other. (SGA: "Missing")
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Although Bantos fighting is prevalent throughout the Stargate: Atlantis episodes, it went unnamed until the season three episode, "Sunday".
- Bantos fighting is similar to Escrima, a Martial Art there the user employs one or more rods to subdue their opponent. Similarly to Teyla's use of a blade, each technique in Escrima can be done using a rod, knife or empty-handed, making it a versatile form of fighting.

Home > Explore > Learning Center > Recipes & Tutorials > Soap >
Before starting this tutorial please make sure to read all instructions.
You should have a basic understanding of making cold process soap before you begin this tutorial.
It is always a good practice to put any new recipe through a soap calculator like the one found at http://soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp.
Step 1 – Measure All Ingredients
Now put on your long sleeves, long pants, shoes, safety goggles, and gloves. Work in a well ventilated area that is free from distractions.
To make the process go faster, measure all ingredients first. To cut down on dishes, measure cold water into the funnel pitcher and measure coconut oil into the large mixing bowl. Measure sodium hydroxide last.
Step 2 – Make Lye Solution
Sprinkle approximately half of the sodium hydroxide into the cold water, stir gently to avoid splashing. Make sure to avoid breathing any fumes. Repeat, and stir until mixture is dissolved. (Always add lye to water and not the other way around because of the potential lye volcano. Just remember, "Snow falls on the lake.") Set aside in a safe place to cool.
Step 3 – Make Oil Solution
Melt coconut oil in 30 second bursts until completely melted.
Next, add olive oil, melted palm oil, avocado oil, and castor oil to the melted coconut oil.
Then, add the spearmint essential oil and finely ground peppermint leaves to the bowl of melted oils. Stir to incorporate.
Step 4 – Make Soap
If you want to gel your soap, which is recommended, now is a good time to turn on your heating pad.
When the temperatures of the lye solution and the oil solution are within 85°- 95° F, carefully (with safety gear still on) strain the lye solution into the other funnel pitcher. Use paper towels to wipe strainer and empty pitcher. Then dispose off paper towels. Next, add sodium lactate to the lye solution.
Next, pour the strained lye solution into the oils, pouring down the side of the container to avoid adding air bubbles to the mixture. Before turning it on, insert stick blender at an angle to the bottom and shake it a bit to release any trapped air. Then, blend in short bursts until medium trace is reached (a thin pudding consistency.)
Step 5 – Pour the Batter
Pour batter as shown. Once the batter is poured bang mold on counter to release any trapped air.
Step 6 – Texture Top
If desired, add a texture to the top of your soap by using a spoon or chopstick. Usually you can have a few tries at this by banging your mold on the counter and starting over. It is possible to overwork the top though. When this happens the consistency of the batter goes from creamy to grainy, so try and finish quickly.
Step 7 – Put Through Gel*
Next, set your mold on top of the heating pad. Then, cover with a box. Next, insulate with blankets/towels. Set your timer for 20 minutes. When the timer rings, slide your hand up under the box and feel the air. If the air is warm, turn off the heating pad. If it's not warm, keep repeating in 20 minute increments until the air in the box feels warm, then turn off the heating pad. At this point, make sure the mold is snug and keep it covered for at least 48 hours. (The sooner the soap is exposed to air, the more likely it is to develop soda ash.) Ambient temperature matters as well. If your home is warm, you probably won't need the heating pad.
*You don't have to put your soap through gel; you will get soap no matter if it goes through gel or not. This soap is made with a water discount to prevent glycerin rivers. With less water, soap goes through gel phase faster, often causing partial gel. That's why it often needs to be forced through gel. Other benefits of forcing soap through gel are that it releases from the mold easier, it is harder, cures faster & lasts longer, the colors are often more brilliant, and it avoids partial gel.
Step 8 – Unmold and Cut Soap
If the soap releases from the mold easily without sticking to the sides, it's ready to unmold. If not, cover and let it sit until it's ready. (It doesn't pay to rush unmolding.)
Mark your soap top and cut it into 10 pieces.
You can wait a day and bevel the edges with a vegetable peeler if desired. Finally, allow them to cure for 4-6 weeks and Enjoy!

Florida authorities say a retired New Britain, Conn., police officer has been sentenced to life in prison for the rape and torture of his estranged wife, who shot him in the chest to escape.
Daniel Begley Sr., 56, was convicted of sexual battery and kidnapping in connection with the attack. Authorities say he wanted revenge because she planned to end their marriage.
Authorities say the 2006 incident happened at the couple�s home in Beverly Hills, a community in western Florida�s Citrus County. He was sentenced there on June 19.
Florida prosecutors say he tied her up, put duct tape over her mouth and kept her captive for hours while he beat, raped and tortured her.
She was able to free herself when Begley left the room to check on their young children, and she shot him in the chest with his .38-caliber revolver when he came back.
He was hospitalized, but later recovered.
His estranged wife, who fled naked to a neighbor�s home for help, was not charged because authorities determined she was in fear for her life.
Begley retired from the New Britain Police Department more than a decade ago after 24 years as an officer, The Herald of New Britain reported.
His lawyer says Begley will appeal his conviction and sentence.

Mastering The Art (And Science) Of Thank You Letters
After interviews, job seekers typically send nondescript, cookie-cutter thank-you notes: "It was a pleasure meeting you and I appreciate the time you spent speaking with me. I know I can add significant value to your team," but, these letters are often disregarded and turn out to be a waste of time. Related: The Best Interview Follow Up Checklist To ensure your letters stand out from the competition, it is important to rethink how you approach them. Understand the purpose of your thank-you letters is to get you another meeting and to further sell yourself into that position, which can easily be accomplished if you incorporate a new spin on the thank-you letters of ol'. Here are three ways to turn bland and ineffective thank you letters into offer-winning sales documents:

Create items now through the end of June. Virtual display and discussion starts online in Flickr on July 1, 2018.
Visit the bottom of this page to learn how to submit images of your thread/yarn/felt/fabric work representing coastal optimism for Louisiana.
There will be a discussion and display of Stitching Hope for the Coast items at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington DC in December 2018 in one of the "Discussion Pods." Contact us if you are going to be at the meeting, would like to display your item at the meeting, or are willing to create a video describing your work (we'll be able to share the photos you post on Flickr).
Project Goals
- To create handmade items that reflect our own views and interpretations of coastal optimism for Louisiana.
- To implement a virtual showcase of the items, including a discussion of the foundation and inspiration for our work.
- To have a display at one or more locations of our work that highlight creative representations of hope for the Louisiana coast (in progress).
In March 2018, Dr. Craig McClain, Executive Director of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), gathered together 40 scientists, science communicators, teachers, students, and more, for an event titled OCEANDOTCOMM. Dr. McClain is concerned about how much the media focuses on the loss of the Louisiana coast, instead of celebrating the success stories. The challenge he posed to the OCEANDOTCOMM participants - find a way to communicate stories of hope for the coast, stories that successfully address the local challenges of sea-level rise, diversion of the Mississippi River, subsidence of land, loss of vegetation, and more.
These stories of Louisiana "coastal optimism" certainly can be communicated through text, audio, images, and video. Dr. McClain never said we couldn't use yarn or fabric to tell the stories of hope...
Our Own Hope
If you knit, crochet, quilt, or embroider (we are open to any creations from yarn or fabric), we hope you will consider joining our virtual community that is using handmade items as a visual tool to communicate coastal optimism for Louisiana. We welcome participation of all skill levels and all ages - no creation is too basic or too advanced. We are not setting a size limit on your work. We are starting our virtual showcase online in Flickr on July 1, 2018, and it's never too late to join the project!
Where's the hope?
There are many individuals and organizations that are making a difference on the Louisiana coast. Please use these websites as a start to learn more about the successes. Remember, the mission of our project is to learn about social/environmental plans and efforts that are causing positive change for humans and animals in the ecosystems and environment of Louisiana.

Need ideas?
There are several creative ideas we have heard about! We have one person crocheting the coast of Louisiana, using colors to reflect erosion and accretion of the coast. We have another person that is thinking of crocheting the animals native to the Louisiana coast, and then using color bars to show if their populations are increasing or decreasing. Join our group over on Ravelry (Stitching Hope for the Coast) for brainstorming or for getting help to make your idea a reality!
How to submit
If you already have a flickr account - great! Feel free to post photos of your creation into your flickr account, and then share those photos with the Stitching Hope for the Coast 2018 group: https://www.flickr.com/groups/stitchingcoast2018/ Then, create a new Discussion thread where you share in more detail information about the inspiration for your project and what it represents.
If you do not have a flickr account, no worries - we can post the photos online for you! Complete this Google Form with the information and background about your project, and then you can email us copies of your photos (we'll post the photos in our account with full attribution).
The Organizing Team
Gabriele Kerber (left) and Laura Guertin (right) quickly learned of their shared passion for crocheting at OCEANDOTCOMM and started the Stitching Hope for the Coast project. With Gabriele from Germany and Laura from the United States, we hope all global citizens will take a moment to see the importance of and their own connection to the challenges and successes faced on the Louisiana coast.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We also encourage everyone to share their work as they create their handmade item on social media with the hashtag #stitchingcoast.

Although against the law in Texas, texting while driving is a major distraction to many people, especially teenagers say Dallas Car Wreck Attorneys. The 1800-Car-Wreck team of Dallas area Car Accident Lawyers knows just how dangerous this issue is. Studies prove that it is four times more likely to crash a vehicle while texting than driving drunk. It is because of this texting while driving epidemic that phone application developers have created "The Drive Safe" app. According to Dallas area Car Accident Lawyers, The Drive Safe application actually shuts off the keypad and the screen on the phone once it detects acceleration of a vehicle. The screen and keypad will return to normal once the vehicle stops moving. Dallas Car Wreck Attorneys fully support and recommend this new mobile application that is now available to parents and at just $29.95, Dallas Car Wreck Attorneys feel that is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Bandersnatch: Black Mirror Made A New Genre?
Bandersnatch: Something Old Made New
Bandersnatch deserves a lot of slack, simply because it's a technical achievement on another level and the fact it can function through a television interface is something that might become a game-changer. I'm genuinely excited to see what other creators are going to do with this technique. What sort of creations can come about when the lines between video games and movies and television shows all blur together?
And, really, if someone was going to do this, I'm not surprised it was Black Mirror. It's a show that's already been blending nostalgia and technology and innovation all into one coherent series.
Bandersnatch Has The Black Mirror Look Down
The issue is the actual story isn't great. It's the classic problem of all choose-your-own-adventure stories: you must account for so many options and outcomes, that there's no real way to explore something to a satisfactory ending. You can't get a real sense of a main character, theme, or idea. Not if you want there to not be one "true" ending, and for all the others to be treated as game-overs by the audience.
Now, before that's taken as a flat condemnation, Bandersnatch has some level of subversion of this and manages to squeeze a lot of meta-storytelling out of the layers of the story. A tale about a person making a choose-your-own-adventure game based on a choose-your-own-adventure book, set in a show that's also in that format is fascinating—and, for fear of spoiling—there are a lot of moments that are suitably mind-blowing and introspective. But, even if it's clever, Bandersnatch is dealing with well-explored commentary and ideas by other media and won't be too deep for fans of the sci-fi genre. It elevates the story, yes, but not beyond "good."
Bandersnatch Is An Amazing And Fun Gimmick
The other issue is Bandersnatch is not much of a Black Mirror episode, specifically. Yeah, as you might expect, it does force you to make some upsetting choices, but, that's only interesting in the presence of the choice and the requirement of your input. It's most comparable to "Crocodile" from Season 4. But there's no real Black Mirror "twist." There's no real gut punch. It's lacking in the commentary department on the subjects of technology or the human condition or glimpses into possible futures.
All of this is not to say it's not well crafted. The acting, cinematography, and sound design is as good as always, and it's a heck of a video game. Watching it is an experience like nothing you've ever done—even if you're a hardcore gamer. In a group or on your own, it's something that I recommend you do, simply to say that you have.

Hrodna editor of the Belarusian service of website InformNapalm (Ukraine) Dzianis Ivashyn has been the quickest to have served his arrest – five days are over. He told us about the conditions of imprisonment and his current frame of mind.
Dzianis Ivashyn was detained in Minsk on March 25 and sentenced to 5 days' arrest.
During the procedures, his administrative report was redesigned twice. The court officers did not tell the public for quite a long time that the journalist was on trial at this very court, at the Frunzenski district of Minsk.
Now the journalist tells how it all went by:
"Not very comfortable. This is not year 1937, but close to that (editor's note - 1937 the year of hardest repressions when many prisoners were executed). I am strongly convinced that all the conditions for tortures have been created following an order from above. We did not have drinking water. We were given a small glass of tea, 100 – 150 ml. And no more drinking water but this. The food was impossible to eat, I simply threw it up.
I wanted to write a complaint, but was not given a pen – they told us we could damage ourselves with a pen. We were unable to lodge appeals or cassations. Of course, this is against the law.
The guards treated us like malicious criminals. I have the information that some guys had stayed for five hours outdoors fixed with hands at the back and legs wide apart.
In my view, there had been an order from above to frighten people, to torture them to the maximum. All was done to prevent people from going out to protest."
Next, the journalist is going to appeal against the court decision and to hold the persons involved liable. "I have documented proofs of my innocence, showing that I had been performing my professional duties. I have documented proofs of forgery of procedural documents by witnesses. I have proofs against the judge who took the unlawful decision. I will lodge the cassation appeal to the Minsk City Court."
The journalist committed to struggle for justice, thanked everyone who supported him.
There are still 4 journalists behind bars in Minsk, including Aliaksadnr Barazenka, who is keeping the hunger strike (15 days), and 3 BAJ members serving terms in Vitebsk; the terms vary from 10 to 15 days.

Bonniers Konsthall : Max 99 People
Don't share, please.
Editor's Pick
Here's another unusual invitation stunt from DDB Stockholm for Stockholm contemporary art gallery Bonniers Konsthall (last year's project, The Uninvited, sent notes to recipient saying they weren't invited, but could invite a friend).
This time, to generate buzz around a new artwork, people were invited to an event via Facebook - but told that if more than 99 people agreed to come by 9pm, the event would be cancelled. The sign-up started at 9am, and the first 99 to respond got the incentive of a silkscreen-printed t-shirt (which they also forfeited if the event was cancelled). They could choose whether or not to invite three more people. The fine balance between wanting to come and wanting not to share highlighted the gallery's message that it is 'not for everyone', even though the 'event' was eventually cancelled when 101 people responded.

If you just go by what we have witnessed ourselves in broad daylight, what Putin has done to the United States is the most successful operation ever done by a foreign government. Historians are going to have endless delights writing about the extraordinary treason committed by this criminal administration. I expected horror and I said so the night of the election because I know quite intimately just how stupid the electorate is in this country. I just didn't expect this amount of corruption.
Just today I was baptized into a level of bubonic dumbfuckery here in California when a spry scientific illiterate came to change a 'reverse osmosis' water filter system that delivers what he called 'alkaline water' which is more healthy and stuff for a mere $30 a month because the water in Los Angeles just isn't any good. He wasn't as familiar with the periodic table as I was so when I asked him which alkaline metal was in this water, he didn't know because like anyone else who believes in David Avocado Wolfe's woo woo bullshit, he was a moron.
I have said for decades now that ALL Republicans are stupid and ALL Republicans are evil. I have been chastised multiple times for making broad generalizations about ALL Republicans because 'my grandma is a Republican and she's not an idiot.' Sorry Bubba, yes she is.
For me that is the beauty of the Grendel in the White House. He has proven my assertion beyond any doubt. With each passing day he proves what lying hypocritical nihilists they truly are. When I was younger I would often ask political neophytes to name a single redeeming quality that any Republican has? Sometimes they would answer, 'they're stronger on national security!' But these days they don't even feign that utter nonsense since Trump has demonstrated he cares absolutely nothing about national security.
To care about anything, you must first understand it and Trump has proven time and again that his only expertise about anything is his perfect incompetence in every subject. It's not that he doesn't know anything about any topic, it's that he is wrong about everything he believes is true. There is literally not one policy or concern of any kind in which Republicans are not the most vile of hypocrites.
"Well Hillary put our national security in danger because she used a private email server."
Jared, Ivanka and many others in this administration have continued to conduct government business by using gmail which is against the law. Has anyone else seen a Republican bitching about this?
"This country cannot have a president who is under FBI investigation!"
There are as of right now, 20 active criminal investigations into Trump, his organization and his children *that we know of*.
"The Clinton Global Initiative is just a way to funnel money to the Clinton's so they can do stuff for money."
The Trump Foundation was shut down by the NY AG for committing *fraud* and forced to pay millions in fines. Trump and his children are forbidden now to be involved with any charity because of their fraud. Trump paid someone to run the bid up at a charity auction on a self portrait to $65,000 so he could say his sold for the most. He used the money from his fraudulent charity to pay for it.
"I'm going to be the best president for farmers, that I can tell you."
More bankruptcies have been filed by farmers than at any time in the last 50 years. American soy bean farmers used to enjoy $25 billion in sales just to China. Since Trump put his idiotic tariffs in place, China cancelled all soy bean orders after Trump's tariffs. Trump believes that the tariffs are paid by China and that money is flowing into our treasury and that's because he is a moron. We pay for the tariffs. He does not even have a basic understanding of economics to know that we pay the tariffs, not China. Republicans do not care about this because their stupidity confuses them and they feel like they are winning. China agreed months later to buy $15 billion worth of soy beans. After this was announced, during further negotiations they agreed to purchase another $6 billion in soy beans.
That's when Fox began touting the bullshit that, 'President Trump increases farmer's sales by $6 billion!' Only in the most fucked up dystopian universe does losing $4 billion for American farmers equal a $6 billion increase! The pinch really hasn't reached its full force yet but it will be much worse for American farmers thanks to Trump's stupidity but it's hard to summon much sympathy for them since they did vote for Trump.
I could go on and on.
What Putin could never have imagined was just how easy it would be to buy the acquiescence of Republicans using the NRA and other sordid interest. Republicans don't care about anything but power and there is nothing they will not sell for the right price and most of them are cheap. Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Devin Nunes are but a few examples of the absolute political whoredom that has infected every single Republican in office across this nation.
These intellectual eunuchs want to investigate everything else but the Russian involvement in the elections they helped them to win. While Mitch McConnell has decided to end the filibuster so he can stack the courts with every incompetent Republican stooge with a law degree, Democrats are just now getting the subpoenas going that are going to show the world just how crooked Trump is.
Yesterday while struggling with the differences between 'oranges' and 'origins' the Moron in Chief claimed that his father was born in Germany when his actual birth records prove he was born in Brooklyn. As if that were not proof enough of his flat imbecility, then Trump went on some idiotic diatribe about windmills making a noise that causes cancer. Noise. causes. cancer.
Where are all the 'good Republicans' decrying this idiot for making them all look like the know-nothings that they are? They're over on Fox News hurling their feces at the tv while liberals argue whether or not Joe Fucking Biden is part of rape culture because he made two women feel uncomfortable.
For my part, I didn't think we could usher in the Idiocracy this quickly and I am pretty sure both George Orwell and Mike Judge were trying to warn us of what was to come and not provide instructionals on how best to destroy our democracy but here we are.
A Saudi investment firm bought leases in Jared Kushner's 666 building and paid $1 billion in advance for those leases so he would get to keep the building. Mike Flynn and Kushner both have advocated that we give nuclear technology to the country that sent most of the radical Islamic terrorist on 9/11 the technology they need to enrich uranium that can build atomic bombs after he admitted to using WhatsApp to communicate with Mohammed Bin Salman in violation of every protocol and security clearance that exist. Do Republicans care? Of course not. Do Democrats care? Well for now, Biden making two women uncomfortable is more important so no.
We have a traitor in the White House who has broken more laws than all the presidents in US history combined and there is not a single Republican saying a word about it because they are all complicit. This unmitigated disaster of a presidency isn't as much their fault as it is all the morons arguing about whether Joe Biden being part of rape culture while Robert Mueller's report continues to be concealed from the people while Trump brays endlessly about it exonerating him as the Attorney General waits for congress to recess for two week before he presents a redacted report the day they leave.
So we wait again until May 1st for the first redacted glimpse of Mueller's report before the actual report leaks. We do know that Barr is going to do whatever he can to whitewash that report. I would urge the people on my side of the aisle that it is time to be in the streets but too many are busy doing the Russian's work for them by sowing the seeds of divisiveness.
For those sad and unfortunate souls I just want to remind you that if you want to change things then you need to change yourselves first and start being better citizens before the rest of us have to watch you watering the lawn with Gatorade.

Move over jam – there's a new favourite doughnut filling in town!
• 90 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 300 milliliters whole milk, warmed
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 10 grams dried yeast
• 500 grams plain flour
• 90 grams caster sugar
• Salted caramel sauce
• 60 milliliters water
• 200 grams light brown sugar
• 100 milliliters double cream
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• Honeycomb Sugar
• 70 grams crushed honeycomb
• 70 grams caster sugar
• Sunflower oil, enough for frying
1. Warm the milk and add in the yeast and a tablespoon of the sugar. Mix together and set aside for 10 minutes or so until it starts to bubble. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, the remaining sugar.
2. With the dough hook attached to the freestanding mixer, add the dry ingredients into the bowl. Make a well in the mix and add in the yeast mix. Turn the mixer to medium-low then add in the beaten egg followed by the butter. Slow turn the mixer up and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and well combined. This can be done by hand if you don't have the mixture.
3. Grease a medium bowl with cooking oil. Form the dough into a ball, place in the bowl and cover. Leave to prove for about 45 minutes in a warm place. While you are waiting for this, make the sauce. Add the sugar to a pan with the water. Place on a medium heat, and leave for the sugar to melt away and it starts to bubble. You don't mean to stir the mix. Once the sugar has darken in colour slightly stir in the butter. Take off the high and stir through the cream and salt. Place in the fridge to thicken until later.
4. Punch the dough back on a floured surface to knock the air out and then roll the dough out and divide into 12 balls. Place on a tray, leave with a damp tea towel and leave for its second proof, around 30 minutes.
5. To a food processor, add the honeycomb and sugar. Pulse until the honeycomb breaks up into small bits and mixtures with the sugar. Transfer to a plate and set aside until the doughnuts are cooked.
6. Place enough cooking oil into a large pan until to cover the doughnuts. Bring the oil up to 180, you can check the heat of it with a little doughnut dough to see if it's ready. When the oil is ready, fry the doughnuts for a couple of minutes or so on each side until golden and puffy. Use a slotted spoon to take them out and transfer to a plate with kitchen roll. Repeat with the remaining doughnut dough.
7. Add the salted caramel sauce to a piping bag and slip of the very end. Use a knife to make a slit in the side of the doughnut and push it through to the middle. Place the piping bag into the hole and squeeze in enough to fill, you can see the sauce when it comes to the hole, but be careful not to overfill. Roll the doughnuts in the honeycomb sugar and enjoy!

Ten years ago, disease management (DM) was being touted as the "silver bullet" of healthcare. But after 10 years of trying and experimenting, it's not clear that DM is working, said Dr. Jeffrey Robertson during a keynote session during day 2 of the Health Management Congress in Orlando.
Citing data from a 2007 Rand study, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield's executive medical director said that while patients love DM programs, changing behavior is hard, required hospital and pharma data is not always timely and care providers are not always engaged.
But the news is not all bleak. Many health plans in attendance have found that addressing and managing a member's behavioral health issues may be the key to improving compliance and outcomes. A case in point: A patient-centric model of delivery in place at Family Care Health Plan in Portland, Ore. provides a "virtual" medical home for its Medicaid/Medicare members, addressing the mental and physical health of it population.
Family Care's COO Rebecca Chi described the the initiative as a "fluid, moving, mobile medical home that moves where the patient is." Family Care's service coordinators work within the network of IPAs and clinics the plan has created, reducing physicians' workload by reviewing members' care plans, conducting medication education and performing other tasks.
But for the 20 percent of Family Care's population with behavioral health issues, "their medical home doesn't start in primary care but in a mental health setting." If a member's care is primarily delivered by a mental health provider, Chi said, then that is where that member's medical home is,"in a setting the member knows well so that they don't have to re-tell their story."
Family Care's model eliminates redundancy and identifies barriers to optimal care delivery, such as transportation. "It's more cost-effective to spend $20 on a taxi for a member than pay for an ER visit that could have been handled by the PCP."
All data resides in one place and is easily accessible to all providers, which has cut down on the over-prescribing of mental health drugs.
Overall, Family Care has seen reductions in ER rates, hospitalizations and mental health in-patient days, as well as increases in immunization rates. "We (Oregon) no longer wanted to be the bottom of the barrel in immunization rates," Chi said.
The success of the program has inspired Family Care in other areas. The health plan successfully boosted the number of members "established" with PCPs within 90 days by offering members a $10 gift card to visit their doctor. Members were greatly motivated by the incentive, Chi said.

But in the spirit of the thing, I have two challenges for you today:
1. Pick a Big Bang story by an author you've never heard of. Ever! Read it. Comment. Check out the art and comment on that too.
2. Look for a Big Bang that doesn't have multiple pages of comments. Read it. Comment. Check out the art and comment on that too.
You might be pleasantly surprised at what you find! And maybe you'll inspire someone to come and check out what you've done or will do, too. That feeling that you want to get from Big Bang? Give it to someone else.
For what it's worth (nothing!), I'm challenging myself to do this today too. So, let's go!

Understanding the Difference Between Sessions and Users – 5:05
This lesson is a part of Royku's red belt level. If you want to talk to an instructor about this lesson, raise your hand below to request instructor time.
Click here to browse all free lessons.
In this free Google Analytics training video, I discuss the difference between two metrics: sessions and users. Sessions was previously referred to as "visits," and users was previously referred to as "unique visitors." Google changed the terminology in an attempt to make things less confusing, but the old terminology was actually much more user friendly, in my opinion.
By default, all Google Analytics acquisition reports include session data, and omit "users." This means that you need to create custom reports for yourself or your clients if you want to know how many unique individuals were sent to your website from a specific source, medium, or campaign. In this video, I show you how to do that, and I also include two examples — the first example shows a situation in which there is a huge discrepancy between sessions and users, and the second example shows a situation in which the discrepancy between users and visitors is much smaller.


text: Finally finished the clutch job on my A3 Golf. Drove the car into work today and everything seems fine. The last straws were installing a new clutch cable and a new clutch release bearing (at the end of the pushrod). Now all is well. Lessons learned: 1) A3 tranny can be removed without too much hassle, if 2 people are working on it. When removing the tranny (once everything is loosened and all mounting bolts are removed), rotate the tranny so that the diff. housing is almost vertical, then angle the far end of the tranny downward as you remove it. This helps the P/S drive axle flange clear the flywheel. Doing this rotating/moving alone is next to impossible. I had a strap attached to the tranny to support it as well. The strap was over a large pipe layed across the engine bay. This made it easier to lift/manuever the tranny. 2) Turn the motor over by hand before finishing the reassembly of the tranny mounts/etc, BUT, turn the engine from the crankshaft pulley only. This would be to check that the flywheel is aligned and nothing is scraping/binding. I turned the engine from the camshaft nut and wound up causing the timing belt to skip. Had to install a new timing belt anyway... 3) Check the pushrod bearing under the 5spd end cap for freeplay if the clutch will not disengage. This was the last niggling issue I had. BTW, my sister (who drove the car for the previous 120k miles) admits to holding the clutch in at stoplights. This will kill the clutch release bearing. 4) Of course the usual, get to all the oil seals and bushings that you can while you're in there. I also did the engine/tranny mounts. Yeesh! I haven't filled the tank on the car since the end of June! I left the car sit once the clutch started slipping really bad, and then it took 3 or 4 weekends to get everything ironed out. Well, at least the next one will go quicker (after the next 150k miles). Regards, Karl in Johnsburg, IL '94 Golf3, 5spd, 146k miles, ALIVE AGAIN!!

Review: The Iron Wyrm Affair
The Iron Wyrm Affair
Rating: 4/5
Buy or Borrow: Buy
Source: Copy courtesy of the publisher!
Emma Bannon, forensic sorceress in the service of the Empire, has a mission: to protect Archibald Clare, a failed, unregistered mentath. His skills of deduction are legendary, and her own sorcery is not inconsiderable. It doesn't help much that they barely tolerate each other, or that Bannon's Shield, Mikal, might just be a traitor himself. Or that the conspiracy killing registered mentaths and sorcerers alike will just as likely kill them as seduce them into treachery toward their Queen.
In an alternate London where illogical magic has turned the Industrial Revolution on its head, Bannon and Clare now face hostility, treason, cannon fire, black sorcery, and the problem of reliably finding hansom cabs.
The game is afoot...
I see from GoodReads that I'm one of the few who actually really enjoyed this book?! I read a previous series by the author and it's very different from this so I was curious when I was sent this steampunk offering! I do love a bit of steampunk as you all know and I found this to be brilliantly written, and original.
I was intrigued from the start of the book, and the book clips along at a fast pace. There's plenty of action to go with the intrigue and never a dull moment. I loved the world of the book, it's so easy to slip in to and to visualise the settings. The world is rich and fascinating and has the history to match it. I'm so curious about the history to the world and I need to know more! It's such an original and unique world, with plenty of quirks on the London we all know and...kind of love. Sometimes. When it's not rush hour. Among other things.
I really enjoyed our cast of characters, I thought they had depth and where fascinating. I loved Emma, she doesn't take anyone's crap. She's strong and she's very proper and she's kinda badass. She's a Prime Sorceress as she's quite fond of pointing out over and over again. Her particular distinction is towards the...darker death side of magic. Emma's in charge and she very much knows what she's doing and what she's capable of, which made a nice change from the usual female MC's I've come across in books. I felt like we didn't get to know her quite so much as Archibald, but then I think Emma's supposed to be a bit of a mystery. I'm assuming some of her past is going to come out in a future book when they face off with the past.
As for Archibald Clare, we got to know him quite well. He's a mentath and he's veeerrryyy Sherlock Holmes. He deduces a lot, and so Clare throws his thoughts out left right and centre, something Emma doesn't do so much. So we get a better grasp on Clare and his character and what he's like and so on. He's quite the opposite of Emma so I enjoyed watching them work together. He's very much like the Sherlock from the Robert Downey Jr movies and I wasn't surprised that was the authors inspiration. I loved that Clare wasn't afraid to get stuck in and get his hands dirty. Clare's point of view and his deductions, I found, gave us some additional insight in to Emma and her past and why she acts the way she does and so on, which I thought was an interesting way to let us get to know Emma rather than through her narrative. Like we get to know her, but not to the extent we get to know Clare.
While we only switch between Emma and Archibalds POV's, there's a third main-ish character I want to mention. Mikal. He's Emma's only shield and they have a little something something going on, it became clear. They also have quite the history by the sounds of it. I am so curious about Mikal and his past, but then I'm curious about all the characters pasts, not just our main three, but some of the secondary characters too. I did like Mikal, he's protective of Emma, a little bit dangerous and very strong and silent.
I totally ship Emma and Mikal but I was really surprised by the relationship between the two of them. I kind of assumed that any romance/relationship would be between Emma and Archibald, but nope. I'm quite intrigued to see Emma and Mikal's relationship grow over the course of the next books because Emma's trying to fight any feelings she might have and Mikal may not even be aware of his. Plus there's their past. There's not any romance as such, I should point out, but rather it's pretty obvious Emma and Mikal like each other, and there's a little moment out of scene.
I felt like the writing was authentic and rich, at points I did have to re-read because I'd lost something. Emma's point of view provides all the sorcery, and Clare as a mentath provides most of the steampunk aspects. He also talks everything out which was useful throughout the narrative. I enjoyed the switching between the two point of views because they each have a different personality and they each have different elements to their parts. The descriptions for the steampunk elements among other things where fantastic, the writing was vivid and imaginative. As I said the world is rich and the history is fascinating. The plot kept me engaged and intrigued, and it kept me guessing until the end with plenty of twists and turns.
My one little gripe with this book is that I'm still so curious about the characters and their pasts. The book is fast paced and full of action, and I love that. But at some points as I was reading, past events particularly concerning Emma and Mikal, kept being mentioned and brought up. I'm not sure if I missed something completely, but I did feel at a point or two that I felt like I was reading a second book purely on that front. Because it was so obviously a first book, I was a bit confused. There where just so many allusions to past events that weren't fully explained unless I missed something, it was a bit frustrating at one point. I have a feeling we'll eventually find out as I'm sure there'll be a book that focuses on it. I just felt like it was a tad annoying as the book went on.
All in all, I found this enjoyable and imaginative, and very original. I'm excited to see what adventure Emma and Archibald go on next, and I'm excited to see Emma and Mikal's relationship develop!

Combining or Merging Multiple Projects
I did a search and then went through all 29 pages on this forum but I have not found a way to do it.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I had a badass riff in my head and programmed it in NS2, it is so cool I made custom patches and recorded multiple tracks and a few drum kits for the beats. I configured all the effects per track and got good volume levels and balance in the mix window I then saved this 16 bar project as "Badass Riff1"
About a month later I was again inspired and wrote an 8 bar synth doom part with 6 tracks custom sound etc. and saved it as "SynthDoom"
About two months after that I wrote a pulsating drudge with 8 tracks of custom sounds etc. I Saved that as "PulsingDrudge"
It turns out I do this a lot
For this particular question I would like to "combine/Merge/join" "Badass Riff1" with ""SynthDoom" and "PulsingDrudge" all into one project arrange them, repeat them, add a bridge here and there then an outro.
Is this possible? If so how
Export the midi data in the Song composer, save effect chains in the mixer, save Obsidian / AU synth patches and Slate kits and load all of them in the target project. That's unfortunately as close as you can get at the moment.
The other way is to just do a mixdown of the other projects and play them back from a Slate or Obsidian in the main project.
I would definitely like an import option too.
Oooof I guess I messed up. I was thinking I could just write chorus' verses
Etc as individual projects as they came to me and combine them later ooops
in some way you can.. you can build your bank of midi sequences - always when you make some interesting melody, just save it as midi and then you can easily drag n drop it in any track in other project.. or you make interesting patch, or good FX track chain - save everything as presets.. thus way your librsry of snippets and elements will grow and you will then able to combine them in other projects..
that's my way of working - i'm saving various snippets - midi loops or audio loops - and then, when i'm searching for inspiration, i'm browsing through this library... it's like using purchased midi/audio loops, just they are not made by someone else but by myself ))

As we write today's News story, the latest, B+ rated five-year loan is drawing to a close. The price of the credit offered is falling, as registered lenders compete for a piece of the action.
Several new loans are due on site shortly – so we thought it might be helpful for casual visitors to learn the simple process (set out below) of how to lend. Click here for more, and to see a short explanatory video.
Click on the Login or Register button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Register your details, including bank account details, to transfer money for lending and for receiving interest and capital repayments.
Once you've been accepted (the law requires us to check you are who you say you are) go to the loan auctions page and look at the businesses seeking funds.
Decide which borrowers you like and place a bid. You can bid to lend as little as £10 per loan until the auction closes. Prudent lenders will lend small amounts to several companies to spread risk.
After the auction closes and the borrower gets the funds, monthly payments will begin. We distribute these payments to you, the lenders.
Money&Co. brings individuals looking to get good return on capital with carefully vetted small businesses seeking funds to grow. In addition to new loan offerings, our secondary loan market, offering existing loans for sale by lenders, is available to registered Money&Co. users.
All loans can be held, tax-free, in an Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account, or Innovative Finance ISA.
Risk: Security, Access, Yield
Do consider not just the return, but the security and the ease of access to your investment.We write regularly about these three key factors. Here's an earlier article on security, access and yield.
If you haven't made a loan via Money&Co. before, please read the risk warnings and the FAQ section. You may also wish to consult a financial adviser before making an investment. Capital is at risk, once loaned.

This project set out to evaluate the functionality of an integrated circuit for monitoring electrophysiological signals. To do this, our team created an analog system on a PCB and digital system on an FPGA. After identifying problem with the IC as fabricated, the team reproduced the functionality of the IC using discrete components. We integrated the systems, and the final product was a working system which successfully read electrophysiological signals.

Divyenndu on Mirzapur: Was difficult to come out of the character
Divyenndu on acing the antagonist act in Mirzapur
You can't blame the audience for having bracketed him as Mr Goody-Two-Shoes, given his roles in Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017). But Divyenndu threw a curveball with his latest outing, Mirzapur, which sees him as the hot-headed, power-hungry gangster Munna Tripathi. He terms the decision as "a natural progression".
"Mirzapur gave me the chance to be someone else and explore an entirely different character," says Divyenndu, enjoying the appreciation that's coming his way.
While the universe of the Gurmmeet Singh-directed venture is filled with gore and goons, Divyenndu's Munna stands out with his all-black and amoral persona. Ask him if it is difficult to play a dark character, and he says, "Munna is the most author-backed character in the show. Yet, to make a dark character look convincing, you have to turn on a few switches inside you. You have to force yourself to think negative, believe that you own the world and that no one else matters. It was difficult for me to come out of Munna."
The Amazon Prime show marks his web debut. Though he agrees that the medium allows artistes to be "brave", he is quick to argue its flipside. "People can be brave in the digital space because your fate is not decided on a Friday. It offers a longer shelf life to a show. But, it's a difficult medium because you are on the same platform as Game of Thrones and Fargo." Question why he wasn't seen in the subsequent outings of Punchnama series, and he says, "It was my decision to not continue. Luv Ranjan [director] was supportive of my call."
