ONGC to roll-out new 'basin' in Agartala by 2017
State-run energy behemoth ONGC will set up a new 'basin' in Agartala by the end of next year as it looks to focus more on exploration of oil and gas in the North-East region.
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited is an Indian multinational oil and gas company headquartered in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India
"We are discussing about setting up a 'basin' in Agartala.
Director of Exploration and I visited Agartala around five months ago. We checked the facilities. Currently work for creation of workstation is going on," ONGC Director (Onshore) Ved Prakash Mahawar said.
Construction work is going on as earlier there was no proper building to start functioning of a 'basin' in Agartala, he added.
"A 'basin' receives huge amount of data, which are processed subsequently. It will take around a year to prepare the facility. By 2017, we will roll out the Agartala Basin," Mahawar said.
ONGC's North East operations are divided into two areas -- Assam Shelf from Jorhat to Duliajan and Assam Fold Belt from Silchar to Agartala.
While exploration is being done only by Assam-Arakan 'basin' based at Jorhat, the production is divided by three 'assets' -- Assam Asset at Nazira, Jorhat Asset at Jorhat and Tripura Asset at Agartala.
Basin's job is to discover or explore oil and gas, but it does not produce anything. On the other hand, an 'asset' exploits or produces and sends products to refineries.
Explaining the rationale behind creating a new 'basin', the senior official said: "The Assam Fold Belt is a complex and a complicated one. Sometimes we get minerals and other things. We want an experienced person there who knows about it. This will bring in focus to that area. As it is a difficult area, so we want to treat it differently."
Assam Fold Belt has mainly gas, while there are both oil and gas in Assam Shelf, he added.
Mahawar said the new 'basin' is being created to focus more on exploration of energy sources in the area.
When asked about the manpower in the upcoming Agartala 'basin', he said: "In a basin, mostly scientists are there. In Jorhat 'basin', 300 people are there. So usually, around 200- 300 people are there in a 'basin'. But Agartala will house 50 -60 people only as finance, HR and few other departments in Jorhat will be shared with it."
Before creating an 'asset' in Jorhat, it was only a 'basin' with a daily production of 350 tonnes. "Now we have made an 'asset' in Jorhat to focus on the production. An Executive Director sits there. As soon as it was made an 'asset', production has gone up to 400 tons every day. This will increase to 500 tonnes per day next year," Mahawar said.
In last fiscal, ONGC production in Assam was 0.9 million tonnes and this year, it is targetted to reach the figure of one million tonnes.

According To Wikipedia:
"Rhode Island officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a state in the New England region of the United States. It is the smallest state in area, the seventh least populous, and the second most densely populated, but it has the longest official name of any state. Rhode Island is bordered by Connecticut to the west, Massachusetts to the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south via Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound. It also shares a small maritime border with New York.[10] Providence is the state capital and most populous city in Rhode Island.
On May 4, 1776, the Colony of Rhode Island was the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown, and it was the fourth among the newly independent states to ratify the Articles of Confederation on February 9, 1778. The state boycotted the 1787 convention which drew up the United States Constitution and initially refused to ratify it; it was the last of the states to do so on May 29, 1790.
Rhode Island's official nickname is "The Ocean State", a reference to the large bays and inlets that amount to about 14 percent of its total area."

By Noah Barkin and Stephen Brown
BERLIN, May 7 (Reuters) - Germany is ruling out any substantive shift in its approach to Europe's debt crisis despite a rising chorus of opposition to Berlin's austerity policies that reached a crescendo in Sunday's elections in Greece and France.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking in Berlin on Monday, rejected the notion that Europe was on the brink of a major policy shift after Socialist Francois Hollande defeated her fellow conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and Greek voters punished ruling parties who slashed spending to secure a foreign bailout.
Shunned by Merkel, who publicly backed Sarkozy's campaign, Hollande repeatedly criticised Germany's focus on budget cuts and labour law reforms as the solution to Europe's debt crisis. Many saw his victory and the outcome in Greece as heralding a shift in Europe toward higher-spending growth-oriented policies.
But close Merkel allies made clear within hours that the expectation in Berlin was that it would be Hollande who would be making the lion's share of the concessions, and rowing back on policy promises made during the French campaign which the Germans view as dangerous for the entire single-currency bloc.
"The position of the German government is clear. We will continue on our savings path," said Volker Kauder, parliamentary leader of Merkel's conservatives and one of her closest allies.
After another bad night for her Christian Democrats (CDU) in a state election on Sunday, Merkel knows that if she is to win a third term next year she can ill afford to ignore German voters' demands that she give no more of their cash away to foreigners.
"Germans could end up paying for the Socialist victory in France with more guarantees, more money. And that is not acceptable," her ally Kauder said. "Germany is not here to finance French election promises."
Those promises appear potentially costly.
Hollande has pledged to balance the French budget in five years, but he also wants to hire tens of thousands of new teachers, introduce a 75-percent tax on million-euro annual incomes and raise the minimum wage.
He favours the introduction of joint euro zone bonds and a more active role for the European Central Bank in fostering growth - both taboos in Germany.
Andreas Schockenhoff, a leading CDU lawmaker who heads a Franco-German parliamentary group, told Reuters he expected Hollande to commit "very quickly" to "stability policies".
Pressed repeatedly at a news conference on whether the French and Greek votes might change the policy debate in Europe, Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert insisted the only way forward was growth through structural reform - such as of tax and labour rules aimed at improving trade - not debt-funded stimulus plans.
Merkel herself made clear that, while there was scope to discuss tactics, the overall strategy EU leaders committed to by agreeing a compact on fiscal consolidation was "not negotiable".
"We are in the middle of a debate to which France, of course, under its new president will bring its own emphasis," she said. "But we are talking about two sides of the same coin - progress is only achievable via solid finances plus growth."
The German leader telephoned Hollande, whom she has never met, on Sunday night after his victory and the two spoke, with the help of interpreters, for nearly a quarter of an hour.
Sources told Reuters the conversation was friendly and that Hollande assured Merkel he wanted very close ties. The president is expected to visit Berlin next week, most likely on May 16, the day after he takes office, on his first foreign trip. Merkel said Hollande would be welcomed with "open arms".
Germany has already signaled it is ready to negotiate a "growth pact" with the new French leader. Though its terms may well be vague, that would allow Hollande to claim victory in his push for a more balanced approach to the crisis.
But bold new initiatives that might give ailing economies like Greece and Spain a substantial boost are unlikely.
"Boosting growth is fine, but the question is how," CDU budget expert Norbert Barthle told Reuters. "Our focus remains firmly on structural reforms."
German officials have indicated they are prepared to explore a more flexible use of EU structural funds, bolster the capital of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and allow the issuance of so-called "project bonds" to fund investment in infrastructure.
These steps would not require substantial new funds from Berlin and this is why they are acceptable. But launching new government stimulus programmes, allowing euro members more time to cut deficits they have pledged to get down, or giving the ECB new powers to bolster growth remain anathema to Germany.
"There will be no loosening of the deficit targets," one high-level German source said, pointing to Hollande's victory speech in Tulle as a sign of his readiness to work with Germany.
"He mentioned cutting back the deficit as his second priority. That was significant and a signal."
Hollande's chief economic adviser, former finance minister Michel Sapin, also said on Monday: "Nobody expects that we simply arrive in power and hand out money."
On Greece, officials in Berlin and Brussels are also taking a hard line, making clear they see no room for the country to renege on or renegotiate the terms set out in its multi-billion euro rescues by the bloc and the IMF.
The failure of the big parties that have dominated Greek politics for decades to secure a majority, and a surge in support for extreme parties from the left and right, has raised questions about whether Athens will stick to its commitments and sparked speculation it could be forced out of the euro zone.
"Either they stick to the programme and receive the financing from member states - or they will have to default," said a senior euro zone source before the pro-EU Greek Socialist party leader called explicitly for a renegotiated bailout deal.
"What the default would lead to, I don't know," the source said. "But certainly to even more hardship for Greek citizens."
At the core of the European project, formed around France and Germany to end a succession of wars, Hollande can look to the euro zone's third economy, Italy, for support. Sapped by a moribund business climate and budget cuts meant to appease wary creditors, Prime Minister Mario Monti's technocratic government endorsed the new French president's pro-growth agenda.
An indication of whether Hollande is ready for confrontation with France's key partner, Germany, or will seek reconciliation will come when he names his government later this month.
A leading candidate for the post of prime minister is Jean-Marc Ayrault, a German-speaker who knows the country well and who has sent conciliatory messages to Berlin in recent weeks.
Choosing him over Martine Aubry, a more traditional Socialist who was responsible for introducing France's 35-hour workweek, would signal that Hollande is ready for compromise.
"I will be very interested to see whether or not Hollande kicks off his presidency with a battle with Merkel," said Louis Gargour, chief investment officer of hedge fund LNG Capital.
"This is a contest of Keynesian economics and a focus on growth versus an extended phase of austerity that electorates are fast becoming tired of."

On August 15, the Delta Counties Coalition, comprised of Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Contra Costa and Yolo counties hosted Congressional staff for a comprehensive Delta tour to gain a firsthand look at the footprint of the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) preferred alternative. The tour included visits to the Freeport Intake Facility, the City of Hood, Greene and Hemly Family Farms, the Cross Channel in Walnut Grove and the Big Break Visitor Center in Oakley—home of the Delta Science Center.
The goal of the tour was to give the staffers an opportunity to actually see the local communities that the proposed Bay Delta Conservation Plan tunnel project affects and to gain a better understanding of the real-life consequences and impacts facing these heritage communities. The staffers engaged directly with local area experts who provided educational presentations and visual demonstrations of issues related to BDCP project costs, Delta levee improvements and Delta water quality issues.
Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli said, "We owe it to the people of the Delta and California to get this right, without sacrificing one region of the state for the benefit of another."
This tour afforded congressional staff the opportunity to see and experience both the economic value of Delta agriculture and the historic relevance of riverside heritage communities.
'Delta issue experts' participating in the tour included Dante Nomellini, Central Delta Water Agency; John Herrick, South Delta Water Agency; Dr. Jeff Michael, Director, Business Forecasting Center, University of the Pacific and Dr. Richard Denton, Water Resources Consultant.

Summer Vacation and the Childhood Obesity Problem
Kids' waistlines get bigger in the summer, and fighting obesity at school may not be the best idea.
By Nathan Collins
(Photo: Jana Birchum/Getty Images)
Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the United States. One in six kids is obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and there are signs that America's obesity problem is only getting worse. You might think school is a good place to start fighting back, but that could be misguided: As it turns out, childhood obesity experiences its biggest uptick over the summer break, which suggests policymakers may need more than school-based programs to combat the problem.
"If obesity originates primarily inside schools, then we may hope to substantially reduce obesity through policies affecting school meals, competitive foods [such as soda and salty snacks], physical education, and other programs," Paul von Hippel and Joseph Workman write in the journal Obesity. "But if obesity originates primarily outside of schools, then school-based programs must try to shape out-of-school behaviors, and we must further emphasize out-of-school interventions" to improve kids' nutrition and increase their physical activity.
The key question, then, is what time of year young children gain the most weight. It's certainly plausible that summer is when most of the pounds pile on—it's hot, and kids' time is generally less structured, which could lead to more snacking. But the evidence there ismixed, and there are hardly any large, long-term studies on which to base any policy conclusions, von Hippel and Workman write.
Throughout kindergarten, kids' BMIs hovered around 16.5 on average, then jumped to about 17 at the start of first grade.
Although the researchers' new study isn't likely to resolve the matter, it does add further evidence that school isn't where kids are gaining their extra calories. Von Hippel and Workman drew on the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, focusing on a nationally representative sample of kids who started kindergarten during the 2010–11 school year. Of that group, body mass index (BMI) data was available for 13,006 kids over the course of three school years and two summers.
It's normal for kids' BMIs to increase as they grow up—and BMI is not itself a perfect measure of body fat in kids or adults—but von Hippel and Workman's observations nonetheless suggest obesity expands during the summer. Throughout kindergarten, kids' BMIs hovered around 16.5 on average, then jumped to about 17 at the start of first grade and stayed more or less the same through the school year. That was followed by another jump to around 17.6 during second grade, with almost all the growth happening during the summers between grades.
The fraction of students who were overweight or obese similarly ticked up by 2 or 3 percentage points each summer, while the researchers' estimates suggest overweight and obesity prevalence actually declined slightly between the start and end of the school year.
"The question arises: If obesity prevalence increases only during summer, how much more can schools do to reduce obesity?" the researchers ask, noting that even interventions in the school environment don't always work to reduce obesity. The authors suggest that a mix of summer camps, summer learning programs, parent education, and efforts to curb food advertising aimed at children may help.

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
~ William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
~ Mark Twain
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
~ Albert Einstein
Greatness is a concept of a state of superiority affecting a person, object, or place. FranklinCovey, the leadership training and consulting firm, defines business greatness into four parts:
- Sustained Superior Performance
- Intensely Loyal Customers
- Winning Culture
- Distinct Contribution
My purpose is to inspire greatness. I do this by teaching and exemplifying axiom leadership and coaching CEOs on a simple, principle-based executive management model. Axiom leadership is teaching and exemplifying values, principles, and truths so clearly that it inspires alignment of heart, might, mind, and strength. The simple, principle-based management model axiom leaders use to build a great business is called the LUNAR Executive Model.
What do I mean when I say alignment of heart, might, mind and strength? Think about each of the four elements:
- Heart – your purpose and passion
- Might – your gifts and talents
- Mind – your intelligence and wisdom
- Strength – your power and influence
Imagine if all four of these elements in a person were focused on generating results for your company. Imagine if everyone in your company aligned their "will" (another way to say their heart, might, mind and strength) to achieving one purpose. What would happen? Do you think you would have a greater likelihood of achieving your expected results?
The answer is yes. You have seen the magic of this alignment happen often around you, especially in sports. The Boston Red Sox just won the World Series. It was their third time in nine years. That is impressive. That is consistent superior results. That is greatness. Was a key element of their success related to everyone in the Red Sox organization aligning their will (their heart, might, mind and strength) to a single purpose of winning the World Series? I believe it was.
Alignment of will is a powerful differentiator to achieving greatness. It is the key indicator of great leadership.
How do you create alignment within your organization? Do you have a set base of fixed principles or truths to align to or do you just make up the rules as you go along?
Choose to lead by principle. Choose axiom leadership. Choose greatness.

Admitting Our Mistakes
Vayikra (Leviticus 1-5 )
It's easy to make mistakes. Everybody does. What's not so easy is to admit having made them. Often we fear that others will look down on us if they find out we did something wrong, so we try to cover up and deny our mistakes.
In this week's Torah portion, we learn about the special ceremonies that the Jewish people would perform when they discovered that they had done something wrong that had unjustly caused harm. They would publicly admit what they had done and ask God for forgiveness.
And not only would the common people do this, but even the nation's most respected leaders, such as the High Priest, the members of the Supreme Court and even the King! We learn from here the valuable lesson that being able to own up and admit that we're not perfect isn't a sign of weakness but rather one of great courage and strength that will earn us much more respect than denying our mistakes ever will.
In our story a boy admits a mistake and earns a lot of respect.
It was super nice spring vacation day and a small group of young boys were having fun kicking around a soccer ball in the neighborhood park.
"Hey Billy, toss me the ball!" squealed one boy. But as Billy reached back to throw it, he felt the ball being snatched out of his hands. Looking up he saw that two bigger boys had arrived. Billy and his friends had been so caught up in their game they hadn't even noticed them coming.
Jeff, the boy who had grabbed the ball away from Billy, smirked at his friend and suddenly drop-kicked the ball all the way to the far end of the park where it rolled under some playground equipment. "Beat it!" he said looking down at the shocked younger boys. "This is our field now whether you like it or not," he added with a sneer.
Realizing they had no choice, the younger boys brought their game to an early end and dejectedly walked away to retrieve their ball. Jeff smiled toward his friend, Dave. But he was surprised when Dave didn't return his smile. "Why did you have to kick out those little kids?" he asked. "They weren't bothering us. You really made them feel bad."
Jeff swallowed. He realized what he had done was wrong but he felt embarrassed to admit it. With a defiant flip of the head, he said. "So what? They had it coming. I just taught them a little respect for their 'elders.' C'mon, let's play ball already," he added, tossing the baseball high in the air.
Dave caught it and as the friends got into their game, the incident was soon forgotten.
A couple of days later the younger kids returned to the park. Seeing it was empty, they began their game. But sure enough not much later, they noticed the bigger kids heading their way. "Here we go again," sighed Billy. They took their ball and started to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute," called out Jeff.
"What does that dumb bully want now?" thought Billy as he turned around slowly. But he was surprised to see that this time Jeff had a friendly, almost sheepish look on his face.
"You guys don't have to go anywhere," he said. There's plenty of room for all of us to play."
Noticing the kids confused looks, Jeff continued. "I was wrong the other day when I made you leave -- I'm sorry."
With a sigh of relief Billy and his friends returned to their game. They were careful to stay on one side of the field so they would be out of their way.
As the older boys started their game, Dave said to Jeff, "Now that you showed them you were brave enough to admit you were wrong, these kids really respect their 'elders.'"
Ages 3-5
Q. How did Jeff feel after his friend told him it was wrong to have chased the younger kids away?
A. He felt sorry that he did it, but he was afraid to admit that he did anything wrong.
Q. If we make a mistake, should we admit it, or try to cover it up and pretend we didn't?
A. We should admit when we make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, nobody's perfect.
Ages 6-9
Q. When Jeff's friend Dave pointed out to him that it was wrong to have kicked out the younger children, Jeff realized that he had made a mistake. Why then do you think that he tried to deny that he had done anything wrong?
A. Jeff knew he had done wrong, but he was afraid to admit it. He felt that if he did it would be a sign of weakness, and his friend, as well as the younger boys, would think less of him. But, in the end, when he did admit his mistake it only made those around him think better of him.
Q. Who would you respect more: somebody who is always able to think of an excuse to defend his actions and show why he was right, or someone who readily admits when he makes a mistake that he has done something wrong? Why?
A. It may at first seem like a sign of strength and courage to strongly defend everything we do. But often it's just the opposite. Real courage consists of being dedicated to the truth and being willing to concede when we've made a mistake. This is a high level of courage and worthy of much respect.
Ages 10 and Up
Q. The Sages teach us that one who makes a mistake or does something wrong, yet admits his error and corrects his ways, is considered on a spiritually higher level even than someone who never erred in the first place. How do you understand this? Do you agree?
A. While it takes much strength and courage to continuously choose to do the right thing, it takes even more for a person to pick himself up once he's fallen. Human behavior naturally tends toward inaction -- that is, continuing along in a certain way even if it's wrong. A person who overcomes his spiritual inertia and puts himself back on the path of doing what's right even after he's strayed off of it has accomplished something spiritually extraordinary and grown to a very high level.
Q. Why do you think some people have a hard time admitting they made a mistake?
A. Some people mistakenly think that making a mistake is a sign of weakness. So they would rather deny it to save face. The reality is just the opposite -- admitting your errors is a sign of real strength. No one is perfect, and the only way to grow is by recognizing your mistakes and taking responsibility for them.
Q. Can you think of a time you had the courage to admit a mistake?

What I'm Thankful For: Being Mormon
There's no doubt about it: I'm an unconventional Mormon. I have a tattoo that says "grace" on my upper back. I attend an evangelical Bible study every Friday. I've even been known to drink the occasional chai latte, just because I can. Over the past several years I've wrestled mightily with my testimony of Mormonism, my commitment to the Restored Gospel. Eventually, I decided to stay…partly because I find deep beauty in many of our distinctly Mormon doctrines — doctrines which I genuinely hope are true — and partly because I feel there is value in loyalty to the faith community in which I was born and raised.
I am generally content with my decision. I no longer question it every day. Still, there are moments when I am discouraged, fearful: perhaps I'm fooling myself. Maybe I'm settling when there is something Bigger and Better beyond Mormonism. Maybe God would lead me elsewhere if I had the faith to follow Him. I know this candid confession might come as a surprise to some who are reading this (to others, it might explain a lot), but I want to share the context from which the next part of my post emerges.
You see, tonight I had an experience that confirmed to me the wisdom of remaining Mormon despite my doubts, that instilled in me a deep gratitude for my Mormon identity, culture, belief, and practice.
A dear friend spoke in the evening session of her stake conference. I rarely attend evening sessions (who needs extra church meetings?: boundaries, people), but I wanted to be supportive, so I donned my skirt and blouse, dropped my daughter off at the babysitter, and went.
What happened next might sound simple, even mundane. There was a congregational hymn accompanied by the organ. The organ. It has to be the most outdated instrument in the history of the world. A cultural relic. But as those harsh tones blared from the pipes mounted on the wall, something washed over me — a peace, a sense of belonging. Of Home.
Next came the prayer. A beautiful, simple prayer, couched in yet more archaic ritual: the "thees" and "thous" of Mormon prayer-speak. "Grant us thy peace for our daily struggles," he said. And when he finished, I said "Amen." And meant it.
Next the talks — the counselor in the stake presidency with the oh-so formal announcement of the program. Then the first speaker. Then the next. Some of the messages (like my friend's) were spectacularly eloquent. Others halting, even clumsy. Some were deeply personal. Others broad. But each talk moved me with its sincerity, its genuine appeal to the God who gave us Life — and even in those moments when I disagreed with, or questioned, an approach or concept, I knew it came from a place of love. And somehow, that made it okay.
The thing is, I believe that God deals in specifics. He works with our specific needs, weaknesses, and in our specific relationships. He is not an abstract God, but a God of context. And what is Mormonism, but a vibrant, complex community thick with context? Our vocabulary, our culture, our history, values, goals, problems, sins, fears, and struggles — some of them universal, some of them uniquely ours — are the very fabric of what allows us to relate to one another; and in one another, Him.
It's hard to explain what happened to me tonight. Merely that as I sat there in that room, surrounded by those people — people with whom I have more in common than not — I thanked God for giving me a community as distinct and a spiritual heritage as rich as Mormonism.
Yes, I am an unconventional Mormon. But I am Mormon to my core. And I am very proud of that.

and how does that doctrine go that you get a planet when u die?
Um, how is that comment even CLOSE to appropriate after a post like that? Come on–I mean, she readily admits that Mormonism has doctrines that she doesn't espouse, but why rub them in her face like that?
I loved this post. I'm also grateful for my Mormon history. No matter what direction my life takes, there will always be a part of me that is inherently Mormon, and I have to attribute many of my successes in life to the culture and belief system in which I was raised.

Excellent. Unlike you, I became a member of the Church as an adult. But it was just those things that I found compelling. The tale of the Restoration is quite a dramatic one — I think that in many ways as we've become institutionalized we've lost a lot of the fervor, the social conscience, the sense of being unique in a positive way that the early restored church had. But that's still an important part of our heritage, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
I must confess — and if I understand you right, this is part of what you're saying too — that there's a part of me that asks, what did I get myself into being a part of this Church? Some of the things that disturbed me about the evangelicalism I grew up with, particularly the tendency to be judgmental and to reduce spirituality to following the rules, are too a part of the LDS church. On the other hand, the more I study our doctrines, the more I study the Bible and the other LDS scriptures, the more I sense that this is where I belong. Despite all the negatives (and, indeed there are plenty), this is where I find my yearnings answered. And I too am grateful for it.
And being unconventional in the LDS church isn't a bad place to be. I'm not completely typical either (my politics aren't Republican and my face isn't bare, just to name two of the most obvious things), yet strangely I have felt far more accepted, had more of a feeling of belonging than I ever did in evangelical churches. I'm not really sure why. But I do feel I'm both needed and wanted.
Most important, though, this is where I believe God wants me. And as long that's the case, this church is my church, warts and all.
Thank you for sharing this Katie. It is beautiful in it's simplicity and it's complexity.
Thanks for the post Katie! Sometimes I feel this way. Sometimes I question everyday. But in the end I think I would be lost with out it. And at least we don't play the harpsichord… 🙂 Though I woudn't put it past us.
Hey Katie Girl,
I had no idea you had a blog. See? I am frighteningly unaware! I love the way you write and appreciate your candor. I have been a Mormon all of my life as well. I was raised in Oregon, however. The church is a very different animal there. Although I have lived in Utah for over 23 years I still find myself shaking my head and asking, "Wow, you really said that?" or "Amazing! You REALLY think that!"
I have had my periods of question and uncertainty and have actually hungered for the Mormon life that isn't so entwined with the culture we have created in "Mormondom."
That being said, I find that I have always had a sense of family in just about every Ward and Stake I have lived. I find that we are all striving for that same goal – eternal life. Each road is different. Each purpose uniquely defined through faith and love and patience.

During the recent public hearings on VoIP regulation, two members of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) raised the issue of emergency 911 service.
Primus Canada president Ted Chislett told the commission his company's TalkBroadband VoIP service was initially
aimed at residential customers, but the reseller has since launched a commercial service.
Local 911 service is available to subscribers who never move their phones from their homes, but Primus customers who take their phones with them are at risk of connecting to their hometown emergency operators, rather than operators in the city to which they have travelled, when they dial 911.
Chislett noted 911 service is controlled by the incumbent local exchange carriers and some public safety answering points (PSAPs) cannot accept calls from other providers. Therefore, Primus depends on the ILECs to make changes to their systems.
""We have worked on this tirelessly since launch, we have a dedicated group of people who are working on it and continue to,"" said Matthew Stein, Primus' vice-president of new technologies and services told the commission. ""I can't speculate today and tell you when this will be solved because it is something that we can't solve alone.""
This raised a red flag with Commissioner James Stuart Langford.
""I don't want to be over dramatic, but if you were selling cars and you told us they didn't have brakes yet, but you were giving it your best shot, we would be nervous,"" Langford said.
Another VoIP provider, Comwave, routes all 911 calls to the Comwave 911 service, which receives the caller's actual address. Customers are told to inform Comwave of their address any time they take their phones with them so the correct location can be provided in the event that someone makes a 911 call.
Commissioner Jean-Marc Demers asked Comwave president Yuval Barzakay to comment on the Ontario 911 Advisory board's request that the CRTC order all carriers to stop selling VoIP services until ""viable"" 911 solutions can be established.
""If the (telecommunications carriers) were not going to sell a service unless there was a viable 911 solution, voice over IP would be dead today,"" Barzakay said.

Friday at the Movies: Street Fighter
Video games and movies, you would think the two would go hand-in-hand, but unfortunately given that the film medium is a passive experience and the gaming medium is an active experience, the hybrid of the two usually goes horribly (and laughably) wrong. This segment will be our weekly realm to appreciate the more "classic" medium of film. Of course, whenever possible I will review a "video game" movie.
It's almost ironic to me that Jean-Claude Van Damme plays lead character Guile in this film because Mortal Kombat, direct competitor for the Street Fighter franchise, was originally supposed to be a Bloodsport video game. Despite that, and the fact that Mortal Kombat was also made into a film, Street Fighter released to American theaters on Christmas Eve in 1994 up against Dumb & Dumber and The Santa Clause. Director Steven E. de Souza was best known for penning action blockbusters like Die Hard and The Running Man as well as horribly written flops like Hudson Hawk. Street Fighter marked his most known directorial title (he also wrote the screenplay), which probably explains why he isn't known as a director. In interviews de Souza explains that he did not want this movie to be a simple tournament full of fight scenes – side note: he stated that decision was due to the flop of Super Mario Bros. a year before and its apparent faithfulness to the game, which proves that Hollywood did not pay attention to video game details – and instead created an interesting international terrorist film. To its credit, the overarching plot isn't bad, albeit quite overcomplicated and tries way too hard to integrate as many people fromSuper Street Fighter II as it can, not to mention Guile's horrible lines. Despite being a worldwide commercial success (it made just under $100 million in combined worldwide theatrical release against its $35 million budget), the film was destroyed by critics and gamers alike for having slight nuances in both worlds but failing to implement either in a decent way. In fact, if it weren't for all the praise to Raul Julia's performance as M. Bison the film would have nothing positive for critics at the time to talk about.
Podcast: Emulation – Breaking the Law
This episode we have Derek from the Playground Podcast on to discuss the oh so controversial topic of video game emulation. Instead of describing what it is, which can be found here, we instead discuss our memories, stories, and wonderful benefits of a topic that has been shadowed by piracy.
Now & Then: American McGee's Alice
Now & Then is a series where we dissect the culture of a specific series or genre or compare an influential game from the past and how it holds up today.
It's a bit wierd that American McGee (yes, that's his real name as far as I know) was given an opportunity to be a Creative Director on this ambitious project, even moreso as an early project with EA. He began his career at idworking mostly in level design for many of the first person shooter series that I grew up playing: Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake. He was fired from id for reasons not known and eventually ended up at Electronic Arts, where after a few sound design and writing projects he was given a large budget and the role of Creative Director for Alice. Why EA back then agreed to put his name as part of the title or allowed him to create such a vivid project (in the Quake III engine, for irony's sake) is beyond me, but it was a solid and pivotal decision. American McGee's Alice is one of the darkest, most twisted games I've ever played and takes the story begun by Lewis Carroll more than a century prior and turns it on its head. To be fair, Wonderland has never been a "normal" place, begot mostly of fantasy concepts and mind-altered states, but I never felt that violence, murder, and insanity were heavy themes. While the gameplay wasn't spectacular even at the time, the imagery and graphics impressed gamers enough to sell more than 1.5 million copies.
Friday at the Movies: The Wizard
Video games and movies, you would think the two would go hand-in-hand, but unfortunately given that the film medium is a passive experience and the gaming medium is an active experience, the hybrid of the two usually goes horribly (and laughably) wrong. This segment will be our weekly realm to appreciate the more "classic" medium of film (thanks to the large number of hits my Prometheus review received). Of course, whenever possible I will review a "video game" movie.
Oh, The Wizard, how I love you so despite what anyone tells me. Sure, it's nothing more than a big commercial for Super Mario Bros. 3 and a blatant ripoff of Rain Man, but that doesn't change the fact that I love this movie to death. Before the Internet, we gamers would soak up any and all forms of information on video games and due to the lack of content available to us (magazines cost money, you had to be registered for newsletters, and we couldn't linger in the gaming area of Sears forever). I had a subscription to Nintendo Power and I knew that SMB3 would eventually grace our shores, but Japan got the game a whopping year and a half before us! As soon as they revealed that the game was going to be featured in the movie, it was an instant must see for my friends and I. It's pretty hilarious too, because in the movie the big reveal is that the finals for the Nintendo World Championship would feature this game and everyone goes crazy given that it's a never before played game. As an audience, we all knew the game would be in there and shredded through the first 90 minutes of exposition to get to that point. When Jimmy played those legendary first few levels of SMB3, though, the entire pathetic journey was well worth it. For fans of the film, how the hell does Haley know everything about this "unseen" game as Jimmy plays along, including what the flute does?
Feature: Remembering the Virtual Boy
If you've been reading this site for a while you may remember my lesson sets on home consoles known as the "Generation Gap Series" or my portable series known as "Gaming To-Go". In these two sets, only two consoles were unable to be categorized in either location: the 32x (which got its own feature as well) and the Virtual Boy. Why? Read on to find out.
Now & Then: Mortal Kombat II (Midway)
Midway must have known it had a hit on its hands with the original Mortal Kombat because no time was wasted creating the sequel. While most of us anticipated the home release of the first title, Mortal Kombat II (MKII) snuck into arcades and blew our minds. This game literally had it all – more characters, more fatalities/finishing moves, and more violence. For most MK series fans, myself included, this is considered to be the best and it's one of the highest grossing video games of all time.
MK Meets its Match
The original Mortal Kombat was an impressive fighter, especially for one that was developed with digitized actors in only 10 months, but creator Ed Boon wanted to do more. "[MKII] had everything we wanted to put in the original MK but didn't have time for," he said in an interview with EGM2 (issue 5, Nov. 1994). It does seem like there's some truth to his claim, especially with the introduction of more stage fatalities, a second fatality for each character, and even joke finishers "friendships" and "babalities". I'm not so sure the roster was an initial idea, nor was the background concepts of Outworld, but I can definitely see the Midway team wanting to break away from the perceived reality of the original. Not only was MKII the definitive version of the original concept, but it continues to be the template for which all other titles in the series are based on.
Podcast: The Final Countdown Pt. 1
Fred Rojas from Gaming History 101 and the B-Team podcast is joined by Josh "Colm" from the T4 show and Rob "Trees" from EZ Mode Unlocked to discuss the games in G4's recent top 100 games of all times. We start by discussing some of our issues with the games in the list and then hit the ground running talking about our personal experiences with many of the great games on the countdown. Due to time constraints this first part covers games 100-60 with more to come in future weeks. Check it out!
Friday at the Movies: Prometheus Review
So technically this has nothing to do with video games, and in the past I tried to avoid off topic articles, but then I realized I own and maintain this site and can therefore do whatever I want. As a result, here's a movie review!
Not another prequel. That's all I could think when I first heard of Prometheus, which started life as a prequel to the movie/series Alien. Don't get me wrong, I love Alien and the series that followed, but prequels always exploit countless plot holes, look so much better than the originals that supposedly happened after said prequel, and origin stories such as this are doomed to disappoint. Fortunately, this isn't as much a prequel as it is a separate story that crosses paths with the Alien series and holds its own when considered a standalone film. I need to be very clear when I say this because it seems few who went to the movie this weekend seem to understand it: this is not intended to be a prequel to Alien nor is it part of the Alien series despite having many obvious connections. In fact, this was a great sci-fi romp that is recommended for most film fans other than those seeking an Alien film.

High-Tech Vehicle Safety Systems
Seat Belt Load Limiters
A properly used seat belt fits snugly over the pelvis and across the chest. In the event of a frontal collision, the lap and shoulder belts restrict the occupant's forward motion to prevent potentially injury-producing contacts with the dashboard, steering wheel, and windshield. The restraining forces applied to the occupant by the seat belt are spread across the strong, bony structures of the body.
The bones of the pelvis are exceptionally strong and can withstand considerable force without fracture. The rib cage is quite flexible but, at a certain point, the ribs will no longer continue to bend, and may break. Fractures to the ribs may result in serious injuries to underlying soft tissue such as the heart and lungs. This is a particular concern for the elderly who have more brittle bones and less tolerance to high collision forces.
A load limiter is designed to allow the seat belt force applied the the chest to rise only to a point where serious injury is unlikely. The seat belt is then allowed to extend in a controlled manner, maintaining a constant restraining force to absorb energy. The occupant's forward motion is finally arrested by the front air bag that deploys in the crash.
How do they work?
A simple form of load limiter is a fold sewn into the seat belt webbing. The stitching holding the fold in place is designed to pull apart when a certain amount of force is applied to the belt. If this force is exceeded, the stitches are ripped out, and the webbing unfolds, allowing the occupant greater forward motion.
A mechanical device that uses the same principle takes the form of a "ladder" with a set of open, metal teeth (see photograph at right). The seat belt retractor is held in place at the bottom end of the ladder and its motion restricted by the presence of the teeth. As the seat belt force increases, the teeth begin to deform, allowing the seat belt anchor to move along the length of the ladder device.
An alternative type of load limiter uses a torsion bar built into the seat belt retractor. The torsion bar is a metal rod that will twist when sufficient force is applied. In minor collisions, the torsion bar will hold its shape, and the seat belt retractor will lock normally. But, when the force applied by the webbing, reaches the design limit, the torsion bar twists and allows the webbing to extend. (See animation by Autoliv Inc.)
What can science tell us?
Comparison of Thoracic Injury Risk in Frontal Car Crashes for Occupant Restrained without Belt Load Limiters and Those Restrained with 6 kN and 4 kN Belt Load Limiters; Foret-Bruno JY, Trosseille X, Page Y, Huère JF, Le Coz JY, Bendjellal F, Diboine A, Phalempin T, Villeforceix D, Baudrit P, Guillemot H and Coltat JC; SAE Paper No. 2001-22-0009; November, 2001
This paper reports on real-world frontal crashes in which the vehicles were equipped with load limiters and pyrotechnic pretensioners. A 4 kN load limitation was shown to provide a very important reduction of thoracic injury risk.
Effects of Shoulder Belt Limit Forces on Adult Thoracic Protection in Frontal Collisions; Mertz HJ and Dalmotas DJ; SAE Paper No. 2007-22-0015; October, 2007
An analysis of crash data from the U.S. National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) was done to estimate the effectiveness of various levels of shoulder belt limit loads in reducing chest injuries to older occupants. The result indicated that a 2.5 kN shoulder belt limit load would substantially reduce shoulder belt-induced AIS ≥ 3 chest injuries in 99 percent of frontal collisions to all adult, front outboard seated occupants whose normalized bone strengths are greater than 0.4.

Quick Facts
- Load limiters require no action on your part - other than seat belt use!
- Always wear your seat belt
- Make sure that the lap belt is positioned low down across the pelvis
- Always have the torso belt over the shoulder; never place it under your arm
- Make sure that both belts are snug; don't allow any slack
- Young children should be placed in appropriate child restraint systems
- Check the owner's manual for specific information about the seat belts in your vehicle

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection within the top layers of skin. Warts are caused one of over 100 types of human papillomaviruses (HPV). These skin ailments are typically skin colored and feel rough to the touch, but they can also be dark, flat, and smooth in some cases. The appearance of a wart largely depends on the location in which it is growing.

Hernia repair: Also called a herniorrhaphy, a surgical repair of a hernia. Hernia repair may be done under local or general anesthesia using a conventional incision or a laparoscope.
The alternative term "herniorrhaphy" comes from hernio-, referring to a hernia + the Greek rhaphe, a seam = putting a seam (or suture) in a hernia.

Students explore various aspects of atomic culture and create their own artifact.
- Watch part of the documentary "Atomic Café," which illustrates nuclear culture.
- Godzilla (the original)
- Planet of the Apes
- Iron Giant
- The Road Warrior
- Dr. Strangelove
- On the Beach by Nevil Shute
- A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr.
- The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss
- Spiderman
- Daredevil
- Watchmen
- Iron Maiden – "2 Minutes to Midnight," "Brighter than a Thousand Suns"
- Metallica – "Fight Fire with Fire," "And Justice for All," "Blackened"
- Tom Lehrer – "So Long Mom," "We'll All Go Together When We Go"
- Slim Gaillard Quartet – "Who's Next"
- Teapacks – "Push the Button"
The impact of the Manhattan Project wasn't limited to the political, military, or scientific spheres. After World War II, the atom was omnipresent in American popular culture. Schoolchildren hid under their desks for "duck and cover" drills (as if a few inches of wood or metal could offer any protection against an atomic blast); sports teams were renamed "The Atoms"; bars served atomic cocktails. The now-ubiquitous peace symbol, formed from the semaphore versions of the letters "N" and "D," was originally designed to represent nuclear disarmament. The preoccupation with atomic energy also permeated popular culture for decades after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Through books, films, comics, and music, citizens of the atomic age expressed fears, hopes and anxieties about the power of the Bomb.
- Discuss a couple of these sources, perhaps having students make presentations about a work of their choice.
- How did the creator feel about the atomic bomb or atomic energy?
- What were they trying to communicate to the reader about it?
- What modern stories use the bomb, and how do they use it?
- Do we still feel the same way about the atom, or have new technologies like genetics and computers replaced our fascination?
- Make your own piece of "atomic culture" - a movie poster, song, or comic book or novel cover. Write a paragraph about what attitude towards nuclear weapons/energy it is expressing.

The Port of Hamburg – An essential logistics hub for Russia's foreign trade
Russia and Hamburg have been linked by cross-Baltic seaborne trade routes for centuries. The Port of Hamburg is of special significance for Russia, assuming the function of a hub for Russia's trade with the European Union. Today, Russia is the fourth largest trading partner.
Almost 95 percent of direct traffic with Russia via Hamburg is handled by the Seaport of St. Petersburg. Kaliningrad and Ust-Luga, as well as Archangel and Murmansk, are other ports of importance. The Russian market is additionally served in transit via ports in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. With around 32 weekly connections, the feedership is the main carrier for container transport between Hamburg and Russia.
Aktivitäten der Hafen Hamburg Repräsentanz in St. Petersburg
Staff based in St. Petersburg has been representing the interests of Hamburg's seaport in Russia since 2003. These experts know their market and maintain good contacts with numerous firms in trade and industry, the transport and logistics sector, as well as trade associations and political decision-makers. They aim to supply data about developments in the universal port of Hamburg, as well as advice and support.
HHM members also profit from this intensive coverage of the market, being regularly supplied with the latest market and sector data from Russia. Additional services for them include arrangement of contacts with potential customers, and organization and preparation of events or visits to customers in Russia. The annual TransRussia logistics trade fair in Moscow also offers member firms an excellent opportunity to cultivate and build on business contacts.
Along with showcasing the Port of Hamburg as its umbrella brand at the trade fair, HHM organizes several events in Russia every year. Among the highlights are the annual Port Evening in St. Petersburg, numerous customer briefings and specialized events that are also held in such neighbouring countries as Finland and Latvia. The focus at these is on interchange of markets, information and contacts between those attending. In addition, itineraries in the Port of Hamburg are arranged for customers from Russia, or delegations from business and politics in Hamburg accompanied during visits to Russia.

Randy Lindquist: Imaging of inflammation
Thursday, 1 November 2018 || Time: 14:00
Inflammation, since it was defined two millenia ago, is primarily a characteristic of tissues. Even when systematic inflammation occurs, it manifests very differently in various tissues, depending on the tissue's physiological role. For example, resident memory T cells perform immunosurveillance in the peripheral tissues where pathogens enter the body, while germinal center reactions occur in secondary lymphoid organs and ectopic tertiary lymphoid tissue. The physiology of immune cells and pathogens is influenced by many parameters, including oxygen tension, temperature, perfusion, secreted factors derived from cells or microbial flora, and contacts with other cells and extracellular matrix. As the influence of these parameters on cellular function is different for each cell type involved in immune responses, we argue that a comprehensive analysis can only be performed in intact, living tissue. This requires specialized imaging techniques, the uses of which both clinically and in basic research will be discussed.
when: 14:00-15:00, weekly, every Thursday

Gmail Spam -- started three days ago
Posted 16 December 2012 - 04:47 PM #1
Starting about three days ago, all our order confirmation emails started showing up in our service spam folder. This is true for both accounts.
Our e-mail is hosted by Google Apps. Does anyone know of a google change in the last week that would account for this? Has it happened to anyone else? And, of course, any suggestions what we do about it?
I'm not sure what's happening in customer accounts but assume that what is impacting us is happening for them also.

Create SPF Records for Google Apps
Create Domain Key for Google Apps
Also add your e-mail address to your Google Contact List (sounds stupid, but it works) or create an e-mail filter to send emails from @yourdomain.com to the Inbox.
How many e-mails going through your Google e-mail is also going to have a knock-on effect as they may have blacklisted your e-mail as a bulk sender. If more than 50 per day, see here. Follow the 'Not a bulk sender?' link.

Thanks very much. A quick look into it and it appears that my hosting provider 1and1 does not allow for the creation of SPF text files so I'm likely in the hunt for a new web host -- bit of a nightmare during peak season.
Did you try the quick and simple fix of adding your e-mail address to your contact list and create an email filter to send @yourdomain.com emails to the Inbox?
Congratulations are in order nonetheless, a 1&1 customer with a working website. Suppose this is the time of year for miracles...
Posted 16 December 2012 - 10:27 PM #5
I worked for a company with 3 domains on 1and1. 2 were moved to hostgator and hawkhost cPanels and the spam stopped. The one remaining in 1and1 still receive 100s of spam emails every day. 1and1 is cheap but I'll never put nothing there.
What I recommend to my customers, is register the domain in namecheap.com, and pay the hosting on any company with cPanel servers.
Hope you solve this problem soon.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 11:19 PM #6
Please don't advise to use 'any' hosting; digital suicide at its finest.
What I recommend to my customers, is register the domain in namecheap.com, and pay the hosting on any companay with cPanel servers.
Posted 26 December 2012 - 09:19 PM #7
I've no doubt that there are better options than 1and1 but our sites seem to work pretty well and we've had very little down time. I also haven't seen the spam but perhaps that's because we don't use 1and1 mail preferring to work through google apps. I will check out namecheap and cPanel next time around.
