text: EvilViking 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) Anyone notice anything different around here? Oh yes, it's uber-update time! What's the special occasion? Last weekend the An Act of War site topped over 200,000 hits! This includes every AAOW website that's ever been, from our original Geocities page, to www.act-of-war.ca.tc (still active), to Planet CnC, all the way to Derelict Studios! Over the last 12 months, the An Act of War site has gone from an average of 100 hits per day to from 300-500 per day! The biggest change in this update, as you can see, is that our new website is finally online! Coded by mastermike707 over the last 8 months, this new website is incredibly interactive, making it extremely easy for me to update. Special thanks to mastermike707 for all his hard work! Please remember that some things are still being worked on, such as an updated Storyline, and the new Gallery and Downloads systems. If you have any comments or find any errors, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com . Along with the updated core site, the Team, Features, Gallery, and various other pages and statistics have been updated. Be sure to check it all out! Now for this update's renders! Today we have two renders, starting off with the USA Command Center. The Command Center contains the USA's main RADAR, as well as command over some superweapons and Generals powers. Dozers are also built from the Command Center: And now here's a unit you've already seen in a good number of screenshots, the A-10 Thunderbolt! The toughest Close Air Support aircraft ever built, the A-10 is made to complete it's mission and make it back home. It can survive in flight even after the loss of hydraulic pressure, an engine, all landing wheels, and even an entire wing! In An Act of War, the A-10 is used for two attacks, Suppression Bombing and Close Air Support. For Suppression bombing, three A-10s are armed with six 10 MK20 Rockeye II cluster bombs each, meant to saturate it's target. Close Air Support calls in three A-10s armed with the GAU-8/A 30mm seven barrel cannon and six AGM-65 Maverick missiles. And now, to continue the celebration, a special treat! Presenting, the first An Act of War Gameplay video! This features highlights from several skirmishes, each one myself and four hard USA AIs in a free-for-all. Watch carefully, you can see me getting own3d by my own AI. :lol: Click on the image to check it out! (requires WinRAR extractor: http://www.rarlab.com/ ) Ooo, nice huh? Right now you've gotta be thinking, gee, how can it get much better? Hmm... how about 10 screenshots fresh off of my hard drive from alpha v1.44? In these screenshots, you can see the new buildings ingame, new particle effects, new Generals Powers in action, a few snapshots from USA mission 01 intro, and generally the new AIs butchering each other! Note: Due to an image limit, to see the remaining two screenshots, please click on "View Comments" at the bottom of the post. Well, I'd like to thank all of our awsome fans for helping us to get to this landmark, as well as my fellow modders and webmasters in the CnC community! Stick around, great things are to come! Remember, we're always looking for help! If you have talents in texturing, particle effects, 2D graphics, or mapping using the Worldbuilder, please send a sample of your work to email@example.com. Enjoy the goodies, and see ya soon! Viking out. Edited September 3, 2005 by EvilViking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

October 4 th
JERAS Daily Diary/Video Oct. 3By
Phew…I used what was supposed to be all natural, "safe" shampoo on Tara and the result was 2 days of headaches, asthma attacks, ringing ears and fibromyalgia. I have serious doubts about their claim that the apple fragrance is natural, as I re-bathed Tara with AFM Super Clean (safe soap/degreaser) and she still reeks. It seems to be indelible. I am getting hit even through my respirator. Poor Tara must stay outside and is not happy, even though Bear is with her and there are doghouses. It was pretty incapacitating, but I managed to care for everyone today. With MCS, even something like a bottle of shampoo can be life threatening.
Then at PM feeding, I was hit with a heavy downpour and sky to ground lightening strikes all around us. As I went out with the cart full of hay, lightening struck and all the horses ran away. The show must go on, I can't wimp out when horses and burros need to eat. I was dripping wet, but it is still warm here. Of course, 10 minutes later the rain stopped, but by then it was dark. I could not postpone feeding if I wanted to see what I was doing down there.
Today was "bone day" so after all the dogs had bones, I washed all their bedding and double washed the outside bedding due to Tara sleeping on it with her "apple essence". I am praying it will dissipate soon so she can come inside. I am seriously considering getting the shampoo analyzed to see what exactly it contains. I met a chemical engineer on Linkedin who may be able to do it. It is the most toxic thing I have encountered in a few years.
It took 2 tries to upload video to Youtube. It stalled 3 hours into the first try. That tied up the computer most of the day, as our internet can't handle too much at once.
So here is video from Oct. 1 and 2. I was feeling better and in a better mood than I am tonight. I hope to be back to normal soon!

Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) has never had it easy, finding it impossible to fit in at school due to her awkward ways, finding a more fulfilling friendship with teacher Mr. Bruner (Woody Harrelson), who reluctantly listens to her daily drama. Nadines only pal is Krista (Haley Lu Richardson), but her longtime partner in crime has caught the eye of Nadines older brother, jock Darian (Blake Jenner), with their eventual pairing making things painful for all involved. With her brain scrambled, still processing the loss of her father years earlier, which has fried her absentee mother, Mona (Kyra Sedgewick), Nadine finds friendliness with Erwin (Hayden Szeto), a lovesick teen who cant inspire a romance between the two. Shes already focused on Nick (Alexander Calvert), a rebel who works in a pet store, but her social invisibility is beginning to lose its novelty, forcing Nadine to confront herself as she abandons everyone she loves.

When she got the emergency call, she was on vacation in Italy. She rushed to the airport, got on the first flight back … and the tears began to fall. Angela Coplin was heading home to console her sister – and to bid farewell to her beloved niece. From the day little Lauryn was born, Angela had doted on her niece, spending countless hours with her over the years. Learning that Lauryn had unexpectedly died from cardiac arrest – at just 14 years old – was devastating.
Somehow the family made it through the next few weeks, but Christmas was coming, and they knew the holidays would be tough. Then a close family friend delivered a special gift – Living lockets for Angela and her sister, Kristina – and somehow their pain was eased.
Though the cardiac arrest had taken Lauryn, the lockets made her feel close again. Each locket contained Lauryn's birthstone, the Girl Charm, the Scripted Family Charm, the initial L, a beautiful crystal and the "Family" plate. Angela said, "I thought it was the coolest gift ever – all the meaning behind the charms, it was so special! I fell in love with the locket and wanted to know more."
Angela hadn't heard of Origami Owl before, but as she learned about the company and its mission to be a Force For Good, her interest grew. She had always believed in helping others. Angela had chosen nursing as a career and currently owned an adult care facility – where Lauryn would often come to help feed and cheer the patients. So when Angela saw that Origami Owl shared her values AND provided a way to tell people's stories, she knew she had to be a part of it.
Lauryn had done so much good throughout her life, Angela and Kristina decided that the cardiac arrest wouldn't be the end of Lauryn's impact on the world. Together they would carry out Lauryn's wish to serve a mission, traveling to a third world country to help build an orphanage. And they would join Origami Owl to earn the money needed. Angela said, "Lauryn and I had started planning the service mission before she passed – this felt like a perfect way to honor her giving spirit."
Over a year later, Angela and Kristina are on their way to fulfilling Lauryn's dream. As their Origami Owl business grows, they are getting closer to taking their missionary trip in 2018, in memory of Lauryn. While they are still deciding the location, they will focus on a cause that helps children, as that was always Lauryn's passion.
As for keeping her memory close now, Angela has created a locket of her own to celebrate her niece. She wears the Living Locket on a Pink Leather Wrap, and she said, "It includes an In Memory Of Charm, the Girl Charm with Lauryn's birthstone, the initial L, the Horse Charm (because she and I rode horses together all the time, and the Cowgirl Boot Charm (because I was always buying her boots)."
Along with carrying on Lauryn's legacy of kindness, Angela finds her "live sparkly" joy in family, friends music, camping, travel, and time with her hubby (she married Jeremie a year ago – a beautiful wedding accented by Origami Owl Living Lockets for the entire bridal party, of course!). Above all, she said, "I love helping others. I really have a passion for taking care of people."

When Oradell Had Its Own Taxi Service
A Journey into Oradell
With gas prices still high and unlikely to ever go back down to levels we once thought as normal, there is much talk these days about necessary changes in how we get around.
Increased rail service on the Pascack Valley line is one example of how folks are trying to anticipate and promote these necessary changes rather than try to react after the fact.
It is interested to see, however, that when one detrains at the classic Oradell Station, travel options are locally are quite limited.
There is a driveway for pickups. N.J. Transit and Rockland Coaches have bus stops accessible just beyond the station.
Or one can walk.
Yes - there are taxi services, but the call must be made to service and cabs waiting outside of town.
It was not always that way.
Once upon a time, back at about the time of World War I, Oradell boasted a fleet of four cabs.
J. Irving Crumps' Biography of a Borough: Oradell (1969) describes how it was at a time that the railroads were at their peak , and the Oradell train station was situated closest to Camp Merritt, an important army camp located at what is now the site of the Cresskill Circle. So, business was good moving troops in and out. So good, in fact, that the McCurdy family came down from Westwood to join with the Blauvelts (no relation to the Blauvelts from the Blauvelt Manor) and would eventually buy him out.
Crump describes the fares of the period – 15 cents for a trip from the train station to homes on the first hill; 25 cents to homes on the second hill with 10 cents for each additional passenger. Trips to Camp Merritt were calculated differently, though Crump's book provides no additional details.
There were even longer trips to be had, states the author. Journeys to New York, the Hoboken ferry or Jersey Shore were not unusual destinations (Guess they were that era's airport run).
It all started changing in the 1920's. World War I was over, Oradell was no longer a troop or vacation destination and the railroad would soon be eclipsed by the auto and the bus.
One by one, the fleet of four cabs shrank, until the last car would pass when George McCurdy died.
Yellow Cab from Hackensack and then Comfort Cab (first of River Edge and later of Woodcliff Lake) would service the community for a spell. So would Ridgewood Taxi. But today, decades after George McCurdy's last taxi run, Oradell, like so many communities that have to rely primarily on the car to get around, still could use a modern day George McCurdy to help us meet the transportation challenges of our times.
This piece was written for River Dell Patch - where it first appeared in July, 2011.

If you've struggled to master the mouth call, you're not alone. Many hunters become passable with a diaphragm but never run a call to its full potential. Others give up.
You don't have to be a contest-level mouth caller to yelp in a gobbler. However, becoming skilled with this versatile tool makes you a better hunter. We asked some of the top callers in the country for tips to help you break through to the next level.
First, find a call you're comfortable with. You read a lot about back tension, side tension, latex thickness, number of reeds and other technical factors, but experts suggest concentrating on a call's basic cut and configuration. For example, if you can produce a one-note whistle — the first note of the yelp — on a split-V but struggle to do so on a combo cut, go with the former.
"The design and stretch, while important, isn't the key factor in calling until you are very advanced," said Chris Parrish, winner of multiple major contests. "The key factor is to use many different calls until you find a cut that seems to consistently run for you. After finding the style, then you can test several different, yet similar models to find the particular stretch that really gives you the most user-friendly experience and sound quality to suit your ear. Note that everyone's ear is slightly different and some like a higher pitch, others a lower, deeper sound."
Then, concentrate on proper form. Determine the air flow and mouth and tongue position that lets you easily produce basic sounds. Remember: Huff air from your diaphragm. Don't blow air across the reeds.
"Like blowing a duck call correctly, you need to bring the air across the diaphragm as if fogging up a mirror, not blowing out a candle," said Tad Brown, of Flambeau/M.A.D. Calls. "Try different positioning of the call in your mouth. Position helps or hinders you in making different calls. For example, I purr better when the call is farther back in my mouth. Yelps, for example, sound different when produced from the side of your mouth versus the front of your mouth."
Also, pay special attention to the delicate arts of tongue pressure and air flow.
"Technique is extremely important," said Scott Ellis, two-time Grand Nationals Head-to-Head champion. "There are many bad habits a caller can develop that hinder the call from reaching its optimum sound. Overblowing and too much tongue pressure are the biggest culprits. Keep one thing in mind: The more you can allow the cut (top) reed to flutter unrestricted, the more realistic rasp will be produced."
After you've mastered the fundamentals, concentrate on realism, especially with your cadence.
"Learn good, real turkey rhythm," said Steve Stoltz, world calling champion. "Study real turkey sounds. There are tons of ways to do this with today's electronic and cyber world. Going to functions such as calling contests, seminars and NWTF events can help as well."
Parrish agrees.
"Practice makes perfect, however, perfect practice is the best," Parrish said. "I prefer to listen to real turkeys and find a particular bird that sounds close to your pitch and tone. Practice the rhythm and presentation of that particular turkey."
Don't be afraid to solicit advice from more advanced callers or enter competitions to identify your strong and weak points.
"When I entered my first calling contest, I started practicing and practicing, and it didn't actually flip a switch until several contests later and that was by getting help from fellow callers — people that were really good callers — instead of just getting advice from average hunters," said Shane Simpson, Minnesota state champion.
Finally, as your skill level increases, dedication to honing your sound becomes even more important.
"Practice, practice and more practice," said Ernie Calandrelli, an accomplished competition caller and public relations director with Quaker Boy Calls.
"My best practice sessions come from the seat of my truck. I do not bother anybody and it kills time. I like to practice different calls at different times, so normally I concentrate on one at a time. I practice [until] the call gets soggy or I get tone-deaf. Sometimes, the sessions do not last long."
You probably won't become a competition-class yelper overnight. However, with experimentation, dedication and expert advice, you can become a solid woods caller. And the journey to reach that level can be a lot of fun.As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Money and Households in a Capitalist Economy
A Gendered Post Keynesian–Institutional Analysis
Zdravka Todorova
Chapter 5: Institutional Change, Households, and the State
Zdravka Todorova
INTRODUCTION This chapter discusses the types of institutional change that can take place due to the interaction between the instrumental and ceremonial aspects of the household institution in relation to other institutions within the pecuniary culture. To this end I adopt and enhance the formulation institutional change offered by Paul Bush (1988). TOOLS, VALUE STRUCTURE, AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE Bush formulates his discussion of institutional change in terms of 'the interface of the knowledge fund and the institutional structure' (1988, 140). Here, I find it more appropriate to speak about the interface between 'tools' and 'value structure'. Tools include the existing knowledge, and value structure refers to the methods of valuation: instrumental and pecuniary. The structure is determined by the variation of combinations of these methods of valuation. It is a broader view of technology that should be considered here. The term 'technology' refers not just to tools, including skills, but also to the value structure – the predominant combination of valuation methods. Tools are necessary for problem solving, and are the result of the predominance of instrumental methods of valuation over ceremonial methods. Only the tools that meet 'ceremonial adequacy' (ibid., 141) will be permissible for usage. In other words, even though some tools may be available to the community, they might not be ceremonially adequate because of the present state of the value structure. Tools are either 'encapsulated' by ceremonial aspects of institutions that are warranted by predatory instincts, or are 'embodied' in the 119 120 Money and households in...

Hello to all you wonderful crystal people, I hope you had an amazing weekend.
Mine was filled with making great connections with beautiful crystally like minded souls, all wishing to soak up an abundance of energy, knowledge and love. For I held yet another one of my Crystal Therapy courses and it was so much fun.
I absolutely adore passing the baton of love, light and information on especially on my most favourite and specialist subject. It is such a honour and privilege to be able to teach this empowering work to my students, who not only learn the skills and wonders of crystal and how they can literally transform your life but they absorb all of the super charged energy thats beaming out from everywhere including myself and the yummy organic vegan/veggie food I make for them.
Watching them all go from slight nervous anticipation when they arrive to literally floating out of the door back to their homes brimming over with positivity and love with new friends to boot is just the best feeling ever, and I am so truly grateful to all of my students, clients and the universe for allowing me to do this work that I adore!
We filled the day with crystal meditations, crystal intuition, mini crystal treatments on each other, food laughter and love.
If you are interested in learning how to bring crystals more into your life to truly empower yourself and those around you then please see the link below.
There are a few places left for the next Beginners course which is Saturday 26th May or new dates for September will be going up very soon.
Otherwise there is also an intermediate course on Saturday 16th June if you have already completed a beginners course or have already have some knowledge and experience working with crystal.

Ichigo Ichie
(pronounced each-ee-go each-ee-ay)
I first learned of this phrase about three years ago. My dear friend, who grew up in Japan, used it to describe her admiration for the volunteer work I was doing. She explained that it was an old Japanese saying, which means "one chance, one meeting" – each meeting is unique. Her interpretation: that every chance meeting in life has a meaning to each other's lives. I have liked this saying ever since.
This is my personal application of ichigo ichie. In my personal life, I am married to a wonderful husband and I cannot imagine being with anyone else. Had we not met several years ago at work, we would not be together today – ichigo ichie. I have a very close and special relationship with my Mother. She is an amazing and compassionate woman who has been there for me and helped me through many tough times. I could not imagine having anyone else as my Mother, so in the beginning for me, and to this day, it is ichigo ichie. Had I not met two special people several years ago, one at work and one where I was volunteering, they would not be my best friends today – ichigo ichie.
Where my healthcare is concerned, if I didn't go to the primary care doctor I have now, I may not have met three very skilled and gifted healers who form my primary treatment team today. My main treatment now is alternative medicine. I met one healer, who suggested another healer, who suggested another healer, and there you have it – ichigo ichie times three.
6 Comments (+add yours?)
Wonderful to meet you here via my lovely friend Margie who has just commented before me.
I'd never heard of this phrase before but really like it.
Happy day!
It's like saying, "First thought, best thought."

The Washington Redskins' quest for another quarterback isn't new; it's a game they've been playing for nearly three decades, unable to find a long-term solution. They believed they were in good shape after trading for Alex Smith last offseason, but those plans changed.
The Redskins have had 27 quarterbacks start at least one game for them since winning the Super Bowl after the 1991 season. Only four have made the Pro Bowl. In team president Bruce Allen's 10 seasons, they've often appeared to have their need filled, only to have it fall apart.
In the past decade, the Redskins have invested nine draft picks and handed out $114.85 million in guaranteed money to two quarterbacks alone. Of those draft picks, three were first-rounders, two were second-rounders and two more were picked in the third round.
They will be investing more at this position in the offseason, whether it's a midlevel free agent such as Teddy Bridgewater or a low-cost one such as Josh Johnson. And they'll likely draft one at some point in April.
Here are the major investments under Allen and how they've paid off:
Donovan McNabb
On Easter in 2010, the Redskins traded a second-round choice plus a conditional pick to Philadelphia for 34-year-old Donovan McNabb. It was the first big quarterback move by Allen and was one that some coaches -- notably offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan -- did not endorse. They feared McNabb was done.
Total investment: Two draft picks -- plus the Redskins gave him a five-year, $78 million contract extension midway through the season that ended up costing them another $3.75 million in dead money the following year.
Return on investment: Terrible. McNabb lasted one season with Washington and was benched in favor of Rex Grossman late in the year. McNabb finished with 14 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 13 starts. The phrase "cardiovascular endurance" became a popular one in Washington, after then-coach Mike Shanahan used it to describe why he benched McNabb in a two-minute situation vs. Detroit. The extension was announced before a Monday night game against McNabb's old team, the Eagles. Philadelphia won 59-28. The Redskins did salvage something by trading him to Minnesota for a sixth-round pick the following summer.
Robert Griffin III
In February 2012, the Redskins outbid others to acquire the second overall pick in the draft. Griffin and Andrew Luck were considered, by far, the best quarterbacks in this class. The Colts drafted Luck with the No. 1 overall pick. The Redskins also selected Kirk Cousins in that draft.
Total investment: They traded three first-round picks, plus a second-rounder, to get the No. 2 pick. So they lost four draft choices. They used a fourth-round pick to select Cousins.
Return on investment: Great for one year, but not great beyond that. Nobody energized the Redskins fan base in a long, long time more than Griffin. For one season he looked like he'd redefine the future of the NFL. He earned a Pro Bowl berth. But a torn ACL in a playoff loss to Seattle that season put him on a different path. Coaches will blame other factors, too, but the bottom line is that the injury robbed him of some explosiveness. Further injuries did the same, and for whatever reason, he never regained that rookie form. Because of that, the Redskins paid a steep price to win one division title (with no playoff wins).
Kirk Cousins
The Redskins drafted him in the fourth round in 2012. They twice used the franchise tag on him.
Total investment: One draft pick and, in his final two years, $43.85 million on the franchise tag.
Return on investment: Mixed. He paid off handsomely for being a fourth-round selection, becoming a quality NFL starter. You can debate what level he's at -- as Redskins fans did for three seasons -- but he's clearly a worthy starter. As the full-time starter from 2015 to '17, the Redskins lacked a consistent run game and defense, so Cousins needed to excel for them to win. They did win the NFC East in 2015 in part because of his performance in the final 10 games. But Cousins was capable of looking like a top-10 quarterback one week and a bad one the next. He played poorly in the 2016 season finale with a playoff berth on the line. In the two years on the tag, his numbers were solid (he combined for 52 touchdowns, 9,010 yards and 25 interceptions) but he struggled in December and January each season (in nine games, he threw 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions). The Redskins are expecting to receive a third-round compensatory pick this year for losing Cousins to free agency.
Alex Smith
Last offseason, the Redskins traded a pick and a player to Kansas City for Smith. They signed him to a four-year extension.
Total investment: A third-round pick, plus starting slot corner Kendall Fuller. The Redskins then gave Smith $71 million in guaranteed money.
Return on investment: The Redskins were 6-3 when Smith suffered a compound fracture in his right leg, but that injury now casts doubt on the rest of his career. If Smith does play again -- he hasn't been ruled out for this season, but it's probably a long shot at this point -- then it remains to be seen if he has the same athleticism. His numbers were modest, with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. He clearly needed more help in the passing game. The players loved him and believed his injury cost them a playoff spot. But the guaranteed money plus the injury now make this one look bad. However, until more is known about his future, it's hard to fully judge this investment. But the Redskins clearly know they need to make another one in someone else -- the question is for how long?

Winter has arrived much earlier than normal this year, particularly across North America, where cold records have been shattered.
This Thanksgiving is in fact going down as one of the coldest ever on record across the Northeast. The Washington Post here, for example, reports that Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2018 will be remembered for a record-shattering cold snap across the Northeast United States."
Arctic sea ice, snow and ice cover rebound
Arctic sea ice volume has rebounded and is near normal levels. The sea ice trend has remained stable over the past decade and thus defy all the climate alarmist predictions of an Arctic meltdown.

Saturday Stuff: "Think Outside The Headboard Box" our ivillage Feature
I love ivillage
I read it long before being asked to contribute so am always grateful when I can share projects. Please pin, like, share! We'd love to do more.
This Feature is DIY High Style, Low Cost
Not EVERYTHING we do at Couture Chateau is large scale 🙂
This DIY Project and the one we will share tomorrow were Designed with Client's using VIP Days which accommodate all budgets
As you know from my Frugal Friday posts, VALUE is important to me
If you have a smaller or remote project, contact us. We'd be thrilled to chat via email. Who knows, your project may just end up featured on the Blog!
For the project below, 12 Foot Sloped Ceilings were presenting issues and the Client did not have a large budget. The room doubles as office & guest room.
Here is the Description from ivillage
Think Outside the Headboard Box
Many bloggers have shared step-by-step tutorials on how to make upholstered headboards, which are an affordable, albeit labor-intensive, way to spruce up your bedroom, but Ann McDonald of design firm Couture Chateau came up with an even better idea. When she found a 3-section divider made out of coconut shells at Home Goods for $39.99, she knew it'd make the perfect headboard for her client's guest bedroom. The ceilings are over 12 feet high at one end of the room and Ann's client wanted something that would make a strong visual statement. Ann loved the divider's textural quality and lucky for her, it was a perfect fit for a queen bed and worked well with the casual vibe of the room.
The Client handled the installation themselves. The 3 screen panel is attached with a cleat system from Home Depot and can easily be moved
The Coverlet is Barbara Barry from Tuesday Morning
The Shams are Ralph Lauren Home Collection, Wool with Velvet Trim
The Prints are antique architectural renderings framed by Aaron Brothers
The desk ( barely in frame) is from a consignment store and we changed handles for a more contemporary look. Couture Chateau custom lining on inside of drawers with patterned fabric over board so guests would feel special!
Because this space functions as both an office and guest room, the Client needed a place to keep office items. Since I specified to custom line the drawers, wasn't keen on a bunch of pens possibly leaking. Solution? A shadow box frame that opens from the front! The Client can clearly see pens, paperclips, sim cards and simply pick up the box when guests arrive.
No cleaning out messy drawers. Happy Everyone 🙂
Saturday Stuff: Are you headed out for a DIY Project this weekend?
Let us know!
"Live a custom life. There is only one you."™
Tomorrow: Stewardship Sunday, "Designing with Transition in Mind"

A Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic
- 9.8k Downloads
Part of the Universitext book series (UTX)
Part of the Universitext book series (UTX)
Traditional logic as a part of philosophy is one of the oldest scientific disciplines. Mathematical logic, however, is a relatively young discipline and arose from the endeavors of Peano, Frege, Russell and others to create a logistic foundation for mathematics. It steadily developed during the 20th century into a broad discipline with several sub-areas and numerous applications in mathematics, informatics, linguistics and philosophy. While there are already several well-known textbooks on mathematical logic, this book is unique in that it is more concise than most others; the material is treated in a streamlined fashion. This allows the lecturer to select the material for a one-semester course on a topic more easily.
Although the book is intended for use as a graduate text, the first three chapters could be understood by undergraduates interested in mathematical logic. These initial chapters cover just the material for an introductory course on mathematical logic combined with the necessary material from set theory. Chapter 3 is partly of a descriptive nature, providing a view towards decision problems, automated theorem proving, non-standard models and related subjects. The other chapters contain material on logic programming for computer scientists, model theory, recursion theory, Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, and applications of mathematical logic. Philosophical and foundational problems of mathematics are discussed where appropriate. The author has provided exercises for each section, as well as hints or even complete solutions to most exercises at the end of the book.
From the foreword, written by Lev Beklemishev:
"…a well-written introduction to this beautiful and coherent subject. It contains classical material such as logical calculi, beginnings of model theory, and Gödel's incompleteness theorems, as well as some topics motivated by applications, such as a chapter on logic programming. The author has taken great care to make the exposition readable and concise."

If you're involved in consumer research, it's likely that you have experienced some sort of mishap while conducting studies in the field. Last month's Saturday Night Live episode with Melissa McCarthy included a parody of a focus group that hilariously illustrated a marketing research nightmare. In this skit, the focus group moderator, Roger, leads a trio of taste testers to get feedback for Hidden Valley Ranch's new line of flavors. Linda, a particularly eager participant, derails the group by making contrived comments (and insisting that Roger "write that down") and antagonizing a fellow participant, telling her, "We all hate you."
While this is an extreme example of how a focus group can go wrong, it serves as a reminder for how important the participant screening process is. Market researchers know that a big part of what makes a study successful is having the right participants for the right discussion. And as Linda demonstrated, poor screening can greatly impact the quality of feedback. At On Your Mark, we try to include extra steps before focus groups to help find the right people, and as a result, our participants are typically engaged, articulate, and honest. Here are a few ways we do this:
• Homework assignments – For many studies, we ask participants to complete some kind of task prior to attending their group. This gives us a chance to review their attitudes, shopping habits, preferences, as well as overall demeanor, ahead of time to ensure requirements are met.
• Phone interviews – When projects demand high level of articulation, we like to include a phone interview as part of the screening process. Before meeting face-to-face, this gives us a good feel for someone's energy level, thoughtfulness, and commitment.
• Screener Questions – A well-designed screener, including a few relevant open-ended questions, can give researchers a better picture than solely multiple choice questions.
If the SNL moderator had implemented a couple of these approaches, it could have made him aware of Linda's artificial feedback while there was still time to find a replacement. Conducting consumer research in the field is unpredictable, but some pre-planning helps avoid a disastrous outcome before the focus group starts.

UAE law and influencers: What you need to know
So, you've finally obtained your NMC influencer marketing license from the national media council (or from a micro-influencer agency like Live Unite). Now what?
While most content creators and influencers operation in the UAE are aware they need to be licensed in order to operate legally, there are still other rules and regulations they need to abide by when sharing content with their audience.
We chatted to local Attorney-At-Law Diana Hamade to find out all about the legalities surrounding sharing sponsored content.
Check it out below and let us know if you have any questions in the comments.
Is it always necessary for influencers to disclose that they are being paid to advertise the product by a brand?
Advertisements are basically a process to call for public attention for a product or service. The first question here is whether influencers using social media are carrying out a business transaction and whether their posts are a form of advertising. Under the UAE Commercial Transactions Law, any activity resulting in a profit is rendered a business which follows in legal repercussions and liability subject to the applicable provisions of the relevant laws. The fact that the influencer is convincing the consumer to buy a product, the business activity is rendered an advertisement and generally, advertisements must comply with the relevant advertising standards and consumer protection legislation in each jurisdiction in which they are published/posted.
Where does the UAE stand regarding these legal guidelines?
The United Arab Emirates has its own rules and regulations specific to advertisements. Advertisements are not regulated by a single entity; they are regulated by numerous laws such as the Printing and Publication law, National Media Council regulations, Cybercrime law and laws governing consumer protection and commercial activities, particularly in relation to anti-competitive practices and illegal monopolies.
While, I could not find anything explicit in the local law relating to disclosure of profits in advertising, as such business is presumed to be carried out for profit - disclosing this profit may soon be required legally, although it is not explicitly mandatory yet.
Does an influencer legally own the rights to the sponsored content they produce in the UAE?
Because advertising runs a high risk of being considered as having misleading content, and the authorities are highly discretionary as to whether the advertisement has violated the law and is considered either offensive or misleading.
Therefore, in the UAE in particular, influencers are rendered the owners of their sponsored content. The influencers may also own the rights to their content commercially if they agree with the brand such an arrangement. Otherwise, they may be acting in an agent capacity, and the laws applicable to an agency may prevail.
Generally speaking, producers and advertisers must always bear in mind that, unless they have developed and produced every element of the campaign themselves, they may be infringing another person's copyright by using music, images or clips without a proper licence.
And these same rules apply for all online campaigns?
Yes. All online campaigns must still comply with all the laws that relate to advertising. Additionally, the Cybercrime law may become relevant if there was a criminal aspect in broadcasting an advert. For example, gambling is prohibited in the UAE and, under the cybercrime laws, the advertising of gambling online would lead to severe penalties. When it comes to publication in any media, it is important to take a 'helicopter' view and be aware of all potential pitfalls including potential criminal implications.
Who is liable for the branded post if a product is deemed illegal or dangerous? The brand or the influencer?
Civil liability under UAE law is either a matter of contract or tort. A tort is a civil wrong that is not contract based. For example, negligence is a type of tort-based liability. Unlike tort-based liability, contractual liability can be excluded or limited, subject to certain exceptions.
The contract between the influencer and the brand can protect the influencer from liability to the consumer if it's within the cap of consensual exceptions. As contractual liability is formed by contracting parties entering into contracts, the contracting parties may agree on a liability cap. If the contracting parties agree to exclude certain claims from this liability cap, such agreement would be enforceable, where the influencer can go back on the brand for compensation and damages.
As a general rule, a tort-based claim cannot be invoked where there is a contractual relationship between the concerned parties. The exception would be in cases of fraud and gross breach of duty. Fraud or gross breach of duty amounts to a breach of legal duty which triggers the application of tort-based liability, notwithstanding the existence of a contract.
Finally, what are the basic guidelines to include in an influencer marketing contract?
Liability, pay, confidentiality, dispute resolution, indemnity, termination. As regular social media users, in an influencer's case, it might be a good to review the systems they have in place if they have a business set up. I would recommend they cover website legal policies, a social media and digital communications policy and image rights and privacy. That's the best start!

Aside from an awkward stance and a few missed swings (maybe they can get a few tips from Cal alumnus – and World Series champ – Allen Craig), UCPD looks like they are ready to take "appropriate actions" to enforce the university's "[no] encampments or occupations of buildings" rule, as stated in Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's campus-wide email this week.
The video, which was filmed two weeks ago (coincidentally the same day all hell broke loose at the Occupy Oakland movement), appears to us to be a "How to inflict as much pain as possible with a baton" workout session that took place in the field next to the Hargrove Music Library. Because we love our readers and care for your well-being, we present this to you as part of our "Please be safe and don't mess with the UCPD on this Day of Action," public service announcement.
You're welcome. And, don't say we didn't warn you.

Beef, Black Beans, Burritos, Cheese, Delicious, Flour Tortilla, Food, Mexican, Moe's, Personal Posts, Pico De Gallo, Steak, Takeout
Just when I thought yesterday would be a wash, what with a failed omelet for brunch and then this awful pasta that makes even the most strong stomach'd of people wince, Mum called asking what we wanted for dinner. It was peculiar in that I was going to suggest chicken when she told me that Sydney had said she wanted Moe's.
The peculiar bit about that is my sister doesn't eat burritos. She avoids them like the plague. But, she does enjoy fajitas, quesadillas and the such. After we got off the phone, Mum and I having agreed it would probably just be easiest if she brought them home, I texted Mum how I wanted my burrito. Steak with rice, pico de gallo (which, before last night I'd never had, by the way), onions, sautèed green peppers (or whatever they do to cook them), and black beans, with cheese (obviously).
Need I say any more?

Green Party President Peter Sinkamba says the American Ambassador to Zambia Daniel Foote has a beef with the PF Government which has nothing to do with the jailing by Lusaka High Court of two Kapiri Mposhi homosexuals.
The Green Party leader says the United States has some of most stringent sentences for sexual offences in the world which by far cannot be comparable to the 15 years imposed on the two homosexuals.
"Take for instance the case of sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein who liked young women. In 2008, prosecutors forged a deal with whereby he avoided federal charges – which could have seen him face life in prison – and instead received an 18-month prison sentence, during which he was able to go on work-release to his office for 12 hours a day, six days a week. He was released on probation after 13 months. Last month Jeff committed suicide in prison avoiding life imprisonment this time around," Mr. Sinkamba said.
The real issue that has pissed off the Ambassador is corruption.
"In essence, the American Ambassador is a hypocrite. It is not fair to condemn the High Court for the harsh sentence. Sexual offence sentences in the United States are harsher and can attract up to life imprisonment on Federal charges. Even polygamy and bigamy are serious sexual offences which attract 15 years or more. So, what is the fuss about on the 15 years?
"The real issue that has pissed off the Ambassador is corruption. This is the axis of evil for the beef. I think the Ambassador is just pissed off due to rampant corruption in PF Government. It appears to me that he had to find an excuse to spit it out the beef!
"It is also important to mention that here in Zambia there are even stiffer sentences for victimless crimes, such as possession and the so-called trafficking in cannabis. These offences attract up to 25 years. In actual fact, our prisons are full of cannabis related offenders. We have more than 7,000 prisoners who are languishing in jails across the country for cannabis-related offences. This is almost one third of the prison population since there are about 22,000 prisoners across the country. In all fairness, this is where we expect the Ambassador to express disgust instead of 2 out of 22,000 prisoners.
"Lastly, it is important to also mention that sexuality is a regional or country issue. For example, polygamy is a legal sexual issue here in Zambia but an offence in the USA. In the USA, LGBT is a legal sexual issue but an offence here in Zambia. We, as Zambians respect the sexuality of Americans on LGBT. Americans must also respect sexuality too.
"If Americans feels strongly against the laws of Zambia on LGBT, the best thing to do is to open up the American visa system for LGBT people. May be, America can have a green card system for LGBT people which could be used as a means for such people to easily travel and settle in the USA where LGBT is perfectly legal. After all, we do not have many Zambians in the USA compared to other African countries like Eritrea and Ethiopia who went there in great numbers on a deliberate American policy."
"The most important lesson from this hullabaloo is that PF should seriously address the corruption. This PF Government has not put in place a Trump Strategy. If one day President Trump wakes up and tweets sanctions on Zambia, then our medical care system will crumble like a cookie.The writing is on the wall and we shudder to see such a move happen in the near future going by the economic performance of Zambia."

text: GreaseMaster Immersing the Weight I filled up a plastic container with five quarts of hot water heated it in a microwave. I then proceeded to add a tablespoon (two ounces) of GreaseMaster to the solution (about 40:1), mixed it with the water and immersed the weight. I wasn't sure of the temperature, it was scalding to the touch but not boiling (literally). I put a thick piece of cardboard over the top to help keep the heat in for as long as possible.

Downtown San Diego Events and Happenings - March 2019
Posted by Brian Enright on Friday, March 1st, 2019 at 2:53pm.
What's happening in downtown San Diego this Month? Everything! From concerts, open-air activities, and family-friendly fun. There is plenty to choose and something for everyone.
Musical Performances
March kicks off on a weekend this year, so there's plenty to do in the first couple days. Many of the downtown bars host events like live music, karaoke, stand-up comedy, and other entertainment. Two of our favorites are Casbah and the House of Blues. If you're in the mood for a show, be sure to grab tickets to Disney's Aladdin on Broadway at The San Diego Civic Theater, or Diana at the La Jolla Playhouse.
Here is a list of March concerts and Festivals:
- March 1: Expand your musical palette with a classical-jazz fusion flute event at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library at 1008 Wall Street in La Jolla.
- March 2 to 3: Head over to the >CRSSD festival at Waterfront Park — if you can score some late tickets.
- March 5: See Muse live at the Pechanga Arena.
- March 8: Catch the opening of Three Decembers at the San Diego Opera.
- March 11: Jazz up your Monday with the annual cross-genre San Diego Music Awards event at the House of Blues downtown.
- March 24: Check out an acclaimed collegiate choir performance at the downtown First Presbyterian Church in the afternoon.
Outdoor Events
Take advantage of our Southern California weather and head out to one of these March outdoor events:
- March 1: Join the Yoga Festival and add a whole new meaning to stretching out on the beach.
- March 16: Go green with the "Celebrating Irish Music" 2019 St. Patrick's Day parade, starting at 5th and Laurel.
- March 30: Contribute to a good cause by participating in the Endometriosis walk.
Family Fun
There are plenty of safe, fun events in and around San Diego that are great for kids. Movies, concerts, sports events, learning museums and farmer's markets — children (and the young at heart) have a great variety of options. Here are a few highlights:
- March 1 to 4: Head to the big top in Westfield Plaza, because Circus Vargas is back for its 50th year.
- All month: Go on an exploratory adventure all week with the San Diego Puzzling Drive that goes from Balboa Park to the Presidio.
- Any time but Tuesday: Visit the New Children's Museum for variety of transformative learning experiences that pair creativity with critical thinking.
Downtown San Diego Partnership

I recently completed my first 3 walking sticks. They are made from two mahogany boards that were glued together, then routered using a 5/8" round-over bit many times after planing off the excess wood. Thanks for looking!
