To summarize, here are my current Oracle, Apex and PL/SQL projects, all on Google Code:
- Thoth Gateway, a mod_plsql replacement that runs on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). It allows you to use IIS as the web server for Apex applications (instead of Apache or the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway), and it has a few extra features as well, such as CLOB support, automatic Web Services published from PL/SQL, XDB integration, and integrated Windows authentication out-of-the-box.
- JQGrid Integration Kit for PL/SQL, a set of PL/SQL packages that allows you to use the JQGrid component to display and edit tabular data in your Apex applications. It is faster, better-looking and more flexible than the built-in tabular forms in Apex.
- ApexGen, a utility to generate Oracle Application Express (Apex) pages from PL/SQL, in a fraction of the time it takes to create Apex pages manually. With Apex 4.0 just around the corner, I believe ApexGen will be due for an overhaul soon, as the export files are likely to have changed quite a bit.

Colleton River
Colleton River Plantation Club, the premiere private residential golf community in coastal South Carolina, located just minutes from Savannah and the world-class beaches of Hilton Head Island. The Pete Dye clubhouse is blessed with a magnificent sunrise, while the Jack Nicklaus Clubhouse enjoys stunning sunsets. Together, they set the stage for two nationally acclaimed championship golf courses—one designed in 1991 by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, and the second designed seven years later by World Golf Hall of Fame architect, Pete Dye.
The two courses look, play and feel very differently from each other, which makes for an ever-changing golf game, including the ability to improve your short game at our beautifully landscaped Par 3 course. The variety of challenging yet scenic golf holes inspired one PGA tour player to say, "I could play at Colleton River every day," and our most avid golfers say they never tire of their experiences on the Colleton River courses. It's like being a member of two nationally ranked golf clubs in the same location.
However, golf is just the beginning of the exceptional experience that Colleton River Plantation Club members enjoy. Voted Best Residential Golf Community in South Carolina—and now celebrating our 20th year—we have received major peer and industry recognition for championship golf, fine dining, distinctive custom homes and a friendly, welcoming, philanthropic membership living on what many say is the finest land in all of the Lowcountry.
Located in Bluffton, South Carolina, about 30 miles from Savannah, Colleton River Plantation is a member-owned community situated on 1,500 hundred acres of majestic Lowcountry land surrounded by water on three sides, seven miles of scenic shoreline, and direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. It adjoins the 1,100-acre Victoria Bluff Nature Preserve and has long been a sportsman's paradise even before golf came on the scene. With only 705 home sites, members are guaranteed uncrowded access to all of our outstanding facilities, services and amenities.

The Good Samaritan Law is important for protecting from liablity those who donate and distribute food in good faith.
Doctrine: a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing.' Its purpose is to keep people from being so reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions if they made some mistake in treatment.
Some of Canada's provinces have passed "Good Samaritan" Laws:
Ontario – Good Samaritan Act, 2001
Alberta – Emergency Medical Aid Act
British Columbia – Good Samaritan Act
Nova Scotia – Volunteer Services Act
The common law provinces (all provinces except Quebec) have no laws making it obligatory for people to help someone in need.
Quebec is unique in Canada in imposing a duty on everyone to help a person in peril. The duty to take action stems from the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms enacted in 1975, and the Civil Code.
The Charter contains a provision that imposes an obligation to render aid if it can be accomplished without serious risk to the good samaritan or a third person. There is still little jurisprudence interpreting these provisions.
Under the Civil Code, every person is obligated to act as a bon père de famille, broadly defined as a reasonably prudent person. Failure to do so would amount to fault and lead to legal wrong.
Some Provinces have enacted laws to encourage food donations to the needy by releasing the donor from liability:
- British Columbia
- Alberta
- Saskatchewan
- Manitoba
- Ontario
- New Brunswick
- Nova Scotia
- Newfoundland

Building an R package (under Windows) without C, C++ or FORTRAN code
Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
Why build and R package? It basically boils down to be able to brag at your local pub that a new version of YOUR package is on CRAN as of 7 p.m. CET. But seriously, if you've produced some function that other people might benefit (or have ordered them) from using them, like your boss, co-workers or students, consider building a package. The chances of broken dependencies and ease of installing everything outweighs the effort of learning how to build one. If you feel your functions (that may be new in some respect) could benefit an even wider audience, consider submitting it to CRAN (I will not discuss how to do that here, but do read the Ripley reference I mention later).
I have set out to build a test package to prepare myself when the time comes and will really need to build one of my own. This here is an attempt I made to document steps I took when building a dummy package (called texasranger (yes, THE Texas Ranger!)) with one single function. I have attempted to build documentation and all other ladeeda things that are mandatory for the package to check out O.K. when building it.
Before you dig into the actual preparation and building itself, you will need a bunch of tools. These come in a bag with a linux distribution, but you will have to add them yourself if you're on Windows. This is basically the only thing that is different when trying to build a package on Windows/Linux. I will not go into details regarding these tools (perl, MS html help compiler, if you have C/C++/FORTRAN code you will need GNU compiler set) , a TeX distro), – I will, however, advise you to check out Making R package under Windows (P. Rossi). There, you will find a detailed description (see page 2-6) of how to proceed to get all the correct tools and how to set them up. When you have done so, you are invited to come back here. Feel free to follow just mentioned tutorial, as it goes a bit more in-depth with explaining various aspects. The author warns that MiKTeX will not work (see the datum of the document), but things might have changed since then and it now works, at least for me.
I have followed the aforementioned Making R package under Windows (by P. Rossi), slides Making an R package made by R.M. Ripley and of course the now famous Writing R Extensions (WRE) by R dev core team (you are referred to this document everywhere). I would advise everyone to read them in this listed order – or at least read WRE last. First two can be read from cover to cover in a few minutes – the last one is a good reference document for those pesky "details". In my experience, I started to appreciate WRE only after I have read the first two documents.
Enough chit-chat, let's get cracking!
1. These are the paths I entered (see document by Rossi what this is all about) to enable all the tools so that I can access them from the Command prompt (Command prompt can be found under Accessories, another term for it may be Terminal or Console on different OSs):
c:/rtools/bin;c:/program files/miktex 2.8/miktex/bin;c:/program files/ghostgum/gsview;C:/strawberry/perl/bin;c:/program files/r/r-2.11.0/bin;c:/program files/help workshop%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin
2. Use R function
to create directory structure and some files (DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE). I used the following arguments:
package.skeleton(name = "texasranger", list = c("bancaMancaHuman"), namespace = TRUE) #I only have one function, but you can list them more
See argument code_files for an alternative way of telling the function where to read your functions. I suspect this may be very handy if you have each function in a separate file.
3. Fill out DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE (if you decide to have a name space, read more @ WRE document). Pay special attention to export, import, useDynLib… All of the above mentioned documentation will help guide you through the process with minimal effort.
A side (but important) note. You should write your functions without them calling
to dig up other function and packages. Read more about NAMESPACE and how to specify which functions and packages to "export" (or "import") and how.
4. Create documentation files. This is said to be the trickiest part. I still don't have much experience with this so I can't judge how tricky it can be – but I can tell you that it may be time consuming. Make sure you take time to document your functions well. If you were smart, you wrote all this down while you were writing (or preparing to write) a function and this should be more or less a session of copy-paste. Use
prompt(function, file = "filename.Rd")
to create template Rd files ready for editing. They are more or less self explanatory (with plenty of instructions). It help if you know LaTeX, but not necessary. Also, I suspect the function may dump the files into the correct /man directory automatically – if it doesn't, do give it a hand and move the files there yourself. Perhaps worth mentioning is that if you want to reference to functions outside your package, use(notice the options square brackets [])
, e.g.
– To refer to "internal" package function (those visible by the user), use
4a. If you have datasets you wish to include in your package (assuming those in library(help="datasets") are not sufficient), you will need to do two things. First, prepare your object (list, data.frame, matrix…). Save it and prepare documentation. Saved .rda file goes to data/ directory. The documentation file goes into the same directory (man/) as other .Rd files. If your dataset is not bigger than 1 MB you shouldn't worry, otherwise consult the Manual on how to prepare a
save(my.dataset, file = "my.dataset.rda") # move to data/ folder promptData(my.dataset, filename ="my.dataset.rda.Rd") # move to man/ folder¸and edit
4b. You should also build a vignette, where you can explain at greater length what your package is about and maybe give a detailed (or more detailed) workflow with the accompanying functions. You can use Sweave or knitr, and the folder to place your .Rnw file is vignettes/.
5. To check the documentation for errors, use
R CMD Rd2txt filename.Rd
R CMD Rdconv -t=html -o=filename.html filename.Rd
6. Next, you should run a check on your package before you build it. You should run it from the directory where the package directory is located. I've dumped my package contents to d:/workspace/texasranger/ and executed the commands from d:/workspace/
R CMD check
If you get any errors, you will be referred to the output file. READ and UNDERSTAND it.
7. Build the package with the command
R CMD build package_name
This will create a file and will add a version (as specified in the DESCRIPTION file, i.e. package_name_1.0-1.tar.gz, see WRE for specifics on package version directives).
package_name is actually the name of the directory (which should be the name of your package as well).
If you use Windows, you can build a .zip file AND install the package (uses install.packages) at the same time. Use command
R CMD INSTALL --build package_name_1.0-1.tar.gz
8. Rejoyce.

Country music stars will get a whiff of Eldersburg next week.
After being chosen as the official candle of the gift tent at the Country Music Awards on Nov. 1, in Nashville, the Eldersburg-based company, Unwined Candles, will have its products in gift bags for all participants.
For owners and creators Dave and Anna Neith, that means late nights and full weekends as he makes more than 300 candles to take to Nashville.
"It's a little overwhelming … a good problem to have," Dave Neith said. "It's not something that happens every day. I'm just excited to get them out there. It's a bonus it's Nashville and the Country Music Awards."
Unwined Candles have been a crazy ride for the couple. The company was founded last December as a way to bring in a little extra money for the couple and their three small children. Neith first made his candles in a pot on a stove in his basement kitchen.
"It was tons of trial and error," he said, of his first candles. "We wanted … to make them different."
The candles are different. Made with soy wax, they come in scents that include Grandma's Kitchen, Winter Woods, Eastern Amber and the decidedly country-music-sounding 5 O'Clock Somewhere (described as "pineapple, orange and cranberry ... with subtle notes of peach schnapps and vodka").
But perhaps the most "different" element is the one that lent itself to the company's name: Unwined Candles uses recycled wine bottles as containers.
"You look all around, all the restaurants have cases and cases of wine bottles," Dave Neith said. The company uses a simple "green" concept — taking discarded bottles, cutting them about in half and using the base for the candle holder.
Karen Leatherwood, owner of Carroll County Waste Services, is happy to provide Neith with bottles.
"It's so fun," Leatherwood said. "I love the idea you are able to reuse something. The candles are lovely and smell so good. I'm so tickled to partner with Dave and provide bottles."
But Dave Neith says not everyone understands what he is doing.
"A lot of people find it to be a hassle when you approach them with it," he said of requesting the bottles. "We're bringing them back to life again."
Bobby Mitchell, owner of Cobblestone Tavern and Grille, provides bottles for several people, he said, including Unwined Candles.
"A lot of people use them," Mitchell said. "(The bottles are) getting used instead of being thrown away. It helps out on both ends."
Leatherwood said she's also excited that the candles will be given out at the CMA.
"That's so cool," Leatherwood said. "I feel we got this connection to it. I feel like, 'you're a part of this.' "
Perhaps it was the "green" element that organizers of the CMA liked; maybe it was that 5 o'clock Somewhere scent. Dave Neith isn't sure.
"We were actually just approached by the agency that puts on the shows," he said. "They also put on the gift lounges for shows like the Grammys, Oscars. I just received an email one day and a rep from them said they were interested in having me down for the show.
"Last year, they had Yankee Candle, and I think they wanted to try something a bit more original, and eco-friendly. Glad they stumbled upon my candles."
While Dave envisions one day moving Unwined Candles out of his basement to a warehouse, for now he has a system in place, and the support of family, to help remove labels from bottles, cut, sand and wash bottles, add wicks, melt wax and blend scents and colors, add labels and pack for shipping.
"It's crazy," Anna said. "There are like 20 steps. His family has been amazing. They've been encouraging and supportive. It's a lot and they really help out a lot."
Dave will cut back on events after the fundraiser, to focus on holiday orders. At the beginning of the year, however, he will start attending various festivals and events, which he enjoys doing and credits for getting his candles known.
"Festivals are super helpful," he said. "You talk to people one to one and you get a lot of feedback. Bad or good, any feedback is good for what we do."

Real Housewives of Miami
"Mama Elsa Comes Home"
September 30, 2013
Well, here is something unexpected: Joanna and Romain are at a restaurant, waiting to have brunch with Adriana and Frederic to smooth things over una vez por todas. Adriana and Frederic are, por supuesto, an hour late. But to Adriana's credit they do arrive, and Adriana does talk with Joanna, and she does apologize for tweeting AGAIN that Joanna was una puta, and Joanna accepts the apology, and no one slaps anyone ¿so I guess we can consider this a detente? ¿At least for ahora?
So Dr. Chichis decided he needed a little "médico, heal thyself" action, and got himself a tummy tuck. And that is pretty mucho the whole story. Lisa takes care of him while he recovers by pressing on his fresh wounds, squealing at all the blood and then calling him a huge bebé. She clearly missed her calling as a nurse.
¡Hooray, La Bruja is coming home from el hospital! To prepare, Marysol invites Alexia and los cameras over while she waves burning sage around her madre's casa, and talks mierda about Lo Peor not sending La Bruja any flors while she was ill. ¡What a perra!
Later, Marysol, without the assistance of any other Housewives — BUT SERIAMENTE ALREADY, WHY NOT JUST CALL HER A HOUSEWIFE — is looking through some photo albums at the casa de La Bruja when her padre comes over. ¿WAIT, MARYSOL HAS UN PADRE? ¿AND LA BRUJA HAS UN HUSBAND? ¿AND HE IS A WASPY VIEJO MAN FROM CONNECTICUT? I AM SO CONFUSED. NOTHING MAKES SENSE TO ME ANYMORE. WHAT IS THIS WHERE AM I WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Marysol explains that her padre is an 84-year-old docksman, which is a thing apparently, and that he still runs his business and travels to Europe and Asia all of the tiempo and that he and La Bruja ¿are getting divorced? ¿Wait, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DIVORCED THIS ENTIRE TIME? And explain this to me: ¿Why are octogenarians getting divorced anyway? ¿Why not just wait each otro out? But whatever, they are getting divorced, but he is still visiting her in the hospital bringing her chocolate milkshakes porque el amor es extraño y desordenado.
Finally, La Bruja returns home, ¡yay! Pero she is still a little disoriented and confused, boo. At one point, when Marysol compliments La Bruja on how nice she looks in her "peeyamas," and La Bruja yells out "¡CORRECCIÓN!" so I suppose ¿she's not wearing peeyamas? No lo sé. Marysol offers her madre a glass of agua with a crystal plopped in it which is, somehow, supposed to help with brain healing. La Bruja, however, is pretty sure it's a piece of fish. ¡DO NOT ARGUE WITH LA BRUJA! Because a chunk of fish submerged in a glass of agua is going to do about as mucho good for her brain as a piece of rock will, let's be honest.
And I am not even going to make fun of the part where Marysol asks La Bruja if she's making a face because too fácil.
In Alexia's mundo, when she's not appearing in scenes with Marysol to justify Marysol's continued presence on the show, she's sending her hobo-punching hijo and her madre who is decidedly not La Bruja off to dinner together, so that Peter can boo-hoo some more about his issues de papito. And basically his abuela is like, "look, your papito was a loser, and if you don't pull your mierda together soon, you will be, too." ¡I like this ¡Not!La Bruja! ¡She is a verdad talking ¡Not!La Bruja!
The next step on Alexia's "GET IT TOGETHER, MIJO" plan is to take Peter to a baseball field, show him one of his little league jerseys and blubber uncontrollably. ¡Bueno plan, mamacita! ¡He'll be on the straight y narrow now!
Adriana and Frederic attend a little
pre- post-marital counseling with the pastor who will be marrying them. La pastor has muchos muchos questions for Frederic and Adriana: ¿How many tiempos have they been married? (¿To each other, or to other people?) ¿What role does Frederic play in Adriana's hijo's life? ¿Does Adriana have any of her own issues de papito? The answers are: This is Adriana's tercero marriage, and Frederic's segundo; a large one; and sí, por supuesto she does. And now I have some preguntas: I'm pretty sure Adriana's explanation to Lisa about why she and Frederic had a marriage license that was signed by un Justice of la Paz was porque they wanted una amiga of theirs to marry them pero she's not an ordained priest. So, ¿quien is this mujer? ¿Porque, I'm pretty sure an amiga of theirs would know all of these things about them? ¿And this mujer appears to be an ordained priest? ¿So … Huh?
Joanna and Romain have their own pre-marital counseling in a sex therapist's office. There, Romain explains to the therapist that he needs to be romanced, while Joanna explains that she's into sex, she ain't into making love. (Go Joanna, it's your cumpleaños.) The counselor, who has already once explained to Joanna that, you know, maybe it emasculates Romain when she calls him the "chica" in the relationship like she is doing RIGHT THIS MOMENTO, takes a different tact this time and suggests that they schedule el sexo. In facto, they should meet at a bar and do a little role playing. ¿Well, they'll certainly not show such an intimate act, correcto?
WRONGO. The next thing we know, Joanna is wearing a chocolate-brown bobbed wig in some hotel bar, where she accepts a drink from a now glasses-wearing Romain. Chocolate brown wig = Natalia, the Russian ballet dancer in town to be in a play, which, ¡nope! ¡Ballerinas are in ballets, not plays, Joanna, I mean, "Natalia!"
And as for Romain, glasses = Señor Noname, the nearsighted pilot. The two engage in some terrible, terrible, no good at all flirting for a few momentos before heading up to a hotel room where things become alarmingly porny. ¡I do not want to see this, Los Producers! ¡Por favor, no es necesario! ¡I do not need to be in the bed, bound to Romain by his belt while Joanna spanks him! ¡You do not need to prove to me that Joanna and Romain make the sexytimes! ¡I will just take your word for it!
Finally, we have el mundo's most boring bachelorette fiesta ever, for Adriana as planned by Marysol. This means the sauciest thing that is going to happen is Marysol tying some lingerie to helium balloons and calling them "lingering lingerie." No strippers, no pene-shapped lollipops or cakes, not even a single "¡WOOOOO!" shrieked over buttery nipples shots in a Fat Tuesdays. All they have — and they are Adriana, Marysol, Alexia, Lisa and Lauren — is a waiter named Carlos who refuses to take off his camisa for them, some tequila shots and a wedding dress that Adriana wants to set on fire for reasons that are unclear. Something about it being the original dress that she was going to wear when she married Frederic el primero tiempo and how it is now a símbolo of hesitation and negativity. And so las mujeres take the dress outside, douse it with lighter fluid, set it on fuego and, well, that's pretty mucho it. WOOOOO. QUÉ LOCA.
Therese is also watching Real Housewives of New Jersey, Top Chef, Saturday Night Live, Arrested Development and dreams of one day watching and recapping the last two episodes of Fringe, but who is she kidding?
The Real Housewives of Miami airs Monday nights at 9 p.m./8 p.m. Central on Bravo.

GM sued by used-car dealer for damages from 'dangerous' car inventory
From wire and Crain News Service staff reports
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (June 4, 2014) — A used-car dealer in Arkansas is seeking compensation from General Motors Co. for being saddled with an inventory of "highly dangerous vehicles" that includes cars not yet recalled over ignition-switch defects.
According to the lawsuit, Nettleton Auto Sales Inc. demanded actual and punitive damages on behalf of all U.S. car dealerships that "sold or leased a defective vehicle or retained a defective vehicle in their inventory" before Jan. 31, 2014.
The suit was filed May 23 in U.S. District Court in Little Rock, and GM disclosed the case June 2 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
According to the litigation, Nettleton's principal business location is in Jonesboro, Ark. The retailer's website indicates it is a used car dealership.
Mike Duncan, owner of Nettleton Auto Sales, could not be reached for comment as he was on a fishing trip and without cell phone service, according to a person answering the phone at the dealership June 3. His lawyer, David Slade of the law firm Carney Bates & Pulliam P.L.L.C. in Little Rock, did not return a call from Automotive News seeking comment.
In the suit, Nettleton contends GM "actively" concealed the ignition-switch defect until this year. GM has recalled 2.59 million cars to repair the switches while blaming 13 deaths on the defect, which could unintentionally cut engine power and deactivate air bags. Safety advocates contend the death toll will be higher.
"Plaintiff believes that there are other GM vehicles which suffer from the same or substantially similar ignition switch defects as the defective vehicles identified" on GM's recall list, Nettleton's suit said. The additional vehicles will be added later to the list of cars causing the dealer losses, according to the complaint.
"In the ordinary course of business, plaintiff presently owns three defective vehicles — Chevrolet HHR — which were manufactured, sold, distributed, advertised, marketed and warranted by defendants (GM)," the suit said.
GM doesn't comment on litigation, spokesman Kevin Kelly said by phone.
The lawsuit is entitled: Nettleton Auto Sales Inc. v. General Motors LLC, 14-cv-00318, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas (Little Rock).

A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. When a fracture occurs, it's classified as either open or closed:
Fractures have a variety of names. Here is a listing of the common types that may occur:
Fractures most often happen when more force is applied to the bone than the bone can take. Bones are weakest when they are twisted. Bone fractures can be caused by falls, trauma, or as a result of a direct blow or kick to the body.
Overuse or repetitive motions can tire muscles and put more pressure on the bone, causing a stress fracture. This is more common in athletes. Fractures can also be caused by diseases that weaken the bone, such as osteoporosis or cancer in the bones.
The following are the most common symptoms of a fracture. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of a broken or fractured bone may include:
In addition to a complete medical history (including asking how the injury occurred) and physical exam, tests used for a fracture may include the following:
The goal of treatment is to put the pieces of bone back in place, control the pain, give the bone time to heal, prevent complications, and restore normal use of the fractured area.
Fractures can take many months to heal as broken bones "knit" back together when new bone is formed between the broken parts.
Most fractures are caused by accidents, such as falls, or other injuries. But there are some things you may be able to do to decrease your risk of bone fractures, for instance:
You should see a health care provider any time you think you may have a broken bone.
An open fracture (one in which the bone comes through the skin so you can see it or a deep wound that exposes the bone through the skin) is considered an emergency. Get medical attention right away for this type of fracture.
Any injury to the bones of the spine is also a medical emergency. These cause severe back pain and may cause nerve problems, such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or bowel/bladder problems. Call 911 if you suspect a person has a break in the bones of their spine.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your health care provider:
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

What's the difference between a scientist and a sadist? Absolutely, bloody, NOTHING.
SCIENTIST:This person receives pleasure from the abuse of other sentient beings. It is highly likely that the pleasure center of the brain (the nucleus accumbens) of the scientist is activated while performing "research".
Obese scientist, Kevin Grove's obesity study; OSHU
SADIST:This person receives pleasure from causing abuse of other sentient beings. It is likely that the pleasure center of the brain of the sadist, (the nucleus accumbens) is activated during the process of abusing others.
Pinhead, otherwise known as the leader of the Cenobites in the Clive Barker series, Hellraiser, has a BAD case of schaudenfreude.
*Ok, I admit, there really is ONE difference. The scientist is LICENCED to commit sadism in institutions and laboratories all over the world, whereas the sadist is only able to carry out his/her deed in the privacy of his/her own home, or home of others.
* NOTE: For the sole purpose of the blog, and the ability to create an alliteration in the title, I have chosen to use the word scientist to describe those who perform, or have others (e.g., graduate students) perform research on animals. I am fully aware that the term applies to a very broad discipline. Thank you.

This isn't just some blog post written by a layperson. I am in the discipline of nursing, (post undergraduate degree) and I have had the luxury (if you want to call it that) of seeing things from behind the scenes for more than four years now. I have listened to, and had to read too many articles about the many tests performed on other species which would be enough to make any sane person find the nearest paper bag in which to spew up chunks of his/her last meal. Because of all the research articles I have been forced to read about the useless scientific experiments on non human animals, I have taken it upon myself to further investigate the field of research on non humans; and to ultimately expose the things that non human animals are subjected to. I am appalled. I have been thoroughly disgusted by the human ego in our continued use of other species in order to keep up the status quo belief that research on non human animals is making for better medicine, and is improving science and the health of humanity.
We keep up morale by: locking up millions of non humans, forcing them to inhale, ingest, and breed, as well as cutting them open, burning them, making incisions into them to check their organs while they're alive or to put in implants, blinding them, breeding them to make a hybrid that is missing genes, breeding them to be sick so we can try to cure them and then kill them, making them purposefully obese so we can try to make them thin, (are not there enough fat PEOPLE to study?) spraying chemicals in their eyes, noses and mouths, blowing smoke in their faces, dunking them in water to cause anxiety and stress and then pumping these creatures full of psychiatric medications to counteract that stress, to name only a few of the tests that these sadists inflict on other earthlings.
I have really HAD it with the lies about scientific research; and that is EXACTLY what they are. These lies are in every single article I have read. EVERY conclusion at the end of EVERY article says that the studies are NON conclusive, and MORE research is necessary. Why is more research necessary? It's necessary to continue doing bogus research to keep people in their jobs. Even supposing these heinous crimes against nature DID save 100 people a year, which they DON'T, they would still NEVER have any rationale that could explain the unbelievable suffering these creatures endure. What I have read throughout my academic career has been unimaginable; millions and millions per year being used and abused for human vanity, greed, gluttony and inability to take a deep breath, act responsibility and do some self reflection. Humans are NOT the most important species on the planet, and absolutely not worthy of enslaving, torturing and murdering other animals so we can survive. We justify everything we do with an angle that makes these acts appear necessary to the laymen; after all, who would harm fluffy for the fun of it, if it weren't actually doing any good? The answer to that question is simple: PLENTY of sadist/scientists would. Why, if they AREN'T sadists would they commit such horrible acts of violence on sentient beings, knowing that their research is bogus? Only they know.
The sadist/scientist stance: If we harm other animals to save humans, we say they are not like us, as they do not feel pain, but rather, just nociception; or, just a signal to the brain, but that isn't feeling pain these sci-sadists say. So, if these non humans are not like humans, there should be no point in testing on them since the results will not be beneficial to teach us about what outcomes to expect with humans. But when they have to invent a justification to live out their sadism on these other earthlings, via their "research", they then make the claim that these other animals are very similar to humans, hence give us a glimpse into how drugs, chemicals, cosmetics, and foods will affect humans. i think there is a MASSIVE disconnect here. We live in the 21st century. I am FULLY aware of that we all benefit in some way from past animal research done. I comprehend that vaccines against polio, (that's the one everyone who is pro testing on living beings always throw out), and thyroid medications, and anti anxiety agents, etc. However, there are dozens of other methods and ways now of doing tests and trainings. Many companies have developed simulators, and computer programs, genes are much better understood, and we understand medications on their molecular levels, and how they affect humans; and yet, these methods using live animals are still used. Why? Writing grants for research gets the MOST money for live animals. Remember now, I am IN the field of academia and health care, and i have the ability to see behind the scenes at what exactly receives the most money. Simulators and computer programs will most likely just have one or two grants written, and once that money dries up, and the sims and programs are up and running, how will a sadentist make his/her money? Live animal research.
They feel pain just as we do, and need affection just like humans do. This is not only obvious, but is PROVEN in the tests that these sadist perform on the very animals they are abusing. I recall one particular study where the macaques were given the choice of going to a dummy monkey to hold and cuddle as opposed to the food bowl. They could only choose one or the other. They all starved to death. They NEED love and affection JUST like humans. If children were made aware that fluffy and daisy, and all the other cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, baby pigs, monkeys, chimpanzees et. al. were tortured, abused, neglected, shouted at, thrown, burnt, blinded, cut into, and the rest of the abuse they suffer, I highly doubt they would be alright with that. We know our children would NOT approve. This is why we don't tell them. When they are old enough, they are taught if asked, that certain things are necessary for human health. We LIE to them when they are young by denying them reality, and we LIE to the adolescents when they ask why we abuse other creatures. We continue to hide the truth from them, because we know without a doubt that they would change the world with this knowledge; that they would put a stop to the brutality and violence once and for all, and this would put a LOT of frauds out of business indefinitely.
The scientist continues to write grants to get funding for use on live animals because they get much more money for live animals, than for research or training with simulators or other tests. Being in healthcare, and having a master's in nursing and being an advanced registered nurse practitioner, is a surefire way to see right through the bullshit that these people want to feed us about all the wonderful tests they do that in reality, prove absolutely NOTHING, and help absolutely nobody.
These sadentists take out their hatred and frustration on defenseless sentient beings that cannot say NO and cannot defend themselves. These sci-sadists say they do it in the name of science and helping humanity, when really they just need to keep their jobs, and continue paying for their large house, and upkeep of their BMW, Lexus, Audi or their Range Rover, and don't forget, they have to send their children to private school which costs lots of money, and in order to do that, and keep up their standard of living, proving to all their neighbors that they are good people by all the big, bright and expensive material goods they have, they will breed, enslave, maim, and murder other species to do so.
*One thing which you most likely did NOT know: you are paying for ALL of this whenever you pay taxes, as well as fees to attend universities.
A few more photos of the sadists' work:
These photos are NOTHING. They show NOTHING. They show a drop in the bucket of what these sadentists are doing behind closed doors. So, do you think that the millions and millions of rats, monkeys, cats, dogs, ferrets, pigs, rabbits, and the rest that are bred all over the world, and enslaved, tortured beyond your wildest nightmare, killed and thrown in trash bins are saving human lives? (and your pet's life?) Please do more research, and don't form an opinion before you know what is REALLY going on. It is NOT helping; NONE of it. It all exists for profit; to make a bloody profit; and it is VERY bloody. What helps human health? What DOES help people have good quality of life is giving up eating meat, eggs, and dairy. That is even what WIC recommends; but since there is so much money to be made, nobody ever learns the real truth about how to be healthy, and the government makes loads of money from big agriculture industry. As I stated earlier, I am an advanced registered nurse practitioner. I am also a nutritionist. People are sick because of what they eat. People have most cancers because of how they eat. Almost all heart disease is because of how people eat. More money must be spent on studying humans. That is the only logical study. However, big pharmaceutical companies would not make money if people were cured. I see how things work from the INSIDE. I work with people who do research. I see how grants are written. Money runs out when you use simulations and computers. Money only flows in when you use live animals. Anyhow, I don't choose one life over another; ever. That is not my place. I am not a god. Human beings ARE animals. Well, You can cut yourself and find out if you need to.
Someone on a Christian blog recently said that it isn't murder if the being isn't a human, and that it was unethical to call killing non human animals murder, and that the word only applies to humans. (even though humans are animals too) I won't assume that any of you do, but you might have a dog or a cat. So, if someone took your cat, threw the cat against a wall repeatedly to try and stress the cat to cause the cat to have anxiety so the researcher could then give the cat a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, otherwise known as an antidepressant, to see if it helped the cat's anxiety, and as a result the cat died, (remember, this hypothetical cat is YOUR "pet"), would you consider that an act of kindness to help a human who is self absorbed and may have depression, or would you consider it murder? As I said, I am an advanced practice registered nurse practitioner. I don't need a bible to tell me who should and should not be killed. Thou shalt not kill is not limited to humans. We are making martyrs out of many more than 25 MILLION non human animals per day to satisfy human gluttony, vanity, pride, and lust to name a few of the sins committed daily because we deem humans more important because that's our justification to ease our guilty conscience when we know these non human animals feel pain, affection, and fear just like we do. My hope is that all domesticated species become sterile via some infection, and can no longer breed to feed human lust and blood-thirst anymore.
If you want the truth about getting rid of disease, you will eat healthy, you will stop using body care products with hundreds of chemicals in them, and you will take control over YOUR life. Veganism is ONLY the moral baseline. Once you know what is taking place around you, it is YOUR responsibility to tell everyone you know. See they photo and click it to watch the vegan plant based diet pyramid explained. Remember, veganism is about the OTHERS, but your great health will be a BONUS.

Thanks, Erick. Can you show us more photos?
Hi, I`m Erick Christian Alvarez Soto from Mexico City. I like New York and I was created a new tread searching many thing about the evolution of new york skyline on 20th century. In special, the development this famous skyscrapers.
I have want for send your photos and experience the history and magic of the Skyscraper Capital of the World.
Have a hard discussion about the true first skyscraper on new york. Some authors says of the fist skyscrapers of the city is the 1902 Flatiron building. Another says the first building that considered skyscrapers as the demolished 10 story Tribune Building that build in early 1870s, but is were not a skyscraper first a it were no build with a steel frame and was added another five stories until 1900.
Officially the first building to be called skyscraper in New York (because it was more of ten stories and was build with steel frame structure) was the 11 story Tower Building (now demolished) on 50 Brodway. It was build on 1889, 5 years after the first world skyscraper was build on Chicago.
Our race was started in 1890s and here a pictures.

Thanks, Erick. Can you show us more photos?
Great stuff, Erick.
Thanks. You and many more people are invited to added your pictures of New York skyscrapers and skyline on 20th Century. Comming Soon I will write and put many pictures of the city on 1900's.
Hi. I start the 20th Century tour where we travel about the history of the Manhattan high rise buildings and skyline were changed trought the years since 1900 to 1999. This month we travel to Manhattan in 1900s. This decade was very important 'cause in these years testified the transformation of Lower Manhattan's Financial District on a true vertical city.
In these years many icons were created: the Flatiron Building, the Singer Building, Hudson Terminal buildings and the Metropolitan Life Tower were build in these years. Midtown were a very luxurius residential district, but it was started this transformation on a commercial district, specially on the Grand Central aerea.
I have many pictures about New York City in 1900. In this year the tallest office building in the city (and the World) were the 30 story Park Row Building on Park Row. Construction work were started on the site of the Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue, Broadway and 23th Street. Pictures were testified the form of the City gretting the new century.
The Brooklyn Bridge in 1900.
The Manhattan Hotel on Madison Avenue at northwest 42nd Street. 1900. This old building was build on 1898 and it was the first skyscraper on 42nd Street and probably, of Midtown. This building were demolished on 1960 to make way to modern 40 story Sperry Hutchinson Building.
Battery Park's first high rises building. February 1900. On the center of the Picture is the 1884 Washington Building.
Lower Manhattan's Financial District skyline looking east from Hudson River. April 1900.
The 16-story Waldorf Astoria Hotel, on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. May 1900, on the site that was occupied years later by the Empire State Building.
Old Madison Square Garden on Madison Avenue between East 26th and 27th Streets, on May 1900. It's tower were inspired on the Sevilla's Giralda, in Spain. The building were demolished on 1925 and it's site is now ocupped by New York Life Building.
The Fifth Avenue looking northwest from 31st Street. June 1900. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel show in the bacgroung. It was on Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street.
Broadway looking southeast showing City Hall and Newspapers Row's skyscrapers. June 1900
The St. Paul Building. June 1900
The Park Row Building. The tallest building on the World (30 stories). July 1900.

I invited you and the rest of the public, for please,to pic your pictures about New York on 1900's on this site. Your pictures were published on this blog to contribute to the enrichment of this blog.
Thank You!!!
Erick Christian Alvarez Soto.
Mexico City, Mexico.
I have more!!!

Saint Paul's Chapel Then:
some time ago:
Great pictures, specially the old color post card. Thank you.
The recent picture show the great changes on the St.Paul Chappel trought the years. St. Paul office tower were demolished in late 50's to make way to moden pancaked building that be completed until 1961 and in this picture this is show on the right of the picture.
It was build on 1888-89 and its was recognized the New York's first skyscraper. It were 11 stories high and were on 50 Broadway. It was demolished on 1913 to make way a another high rise building whave a picture about it.
Continued the traver in 1904. This year was crucial for the development of Midtown Manhattan like commercial zone. The construction of the tower for The New York Times, in the intersection of Broadway, Seventh Avenue and the 42nd and 43rd Street, that, along with the inauguration of first line of the Subway Railroad, that ride below this new building, impulse to Longacre Square, that as of that baptized Times Square, and therefore, the development of buildings of offices in Midtown Manhattan was begun.
Here a picture of the Times Tower under construction. September 1904
Broadway looking northwest from 70th Street: Look the recently opened Ansonia Hotel in the background.
A watercolor of Daniel H. Burnham's Flatiron Building from Madison Square Park. (Unknown 1904).
This year is very important. In this year The New York Times move from Newaspaper Row, on Lower Manhattan to its new 25 story headquarters on the intersection of Broadway, 7th Avenue and 42nd Street, on Longagre Square were completed. The new New York Times tower (now One Times Square Building) were inspired on Giotto's Santa Maria del Fiore Campanille in Florence, Itally. In the honor of the newspaper new headquarters, Longacre Square, the new heart of the theater live of New York (old Metropolitan Opera House were stood here since 1880s) were renamed Times Square, name that conserved today.

It is the glamorous Fifth Avenue. Looking north from 43rd Street. June 1905.
And from 49th Street. It can see the recently opened 20 story St. Regis Hotel. June 1905.
It is the view that can see from the top of The New York Times Tower on October 1905. Times Square appears here like an austere place surrounded by low-rises buildings of 2 to 3 stories high and with very little luminous neon advertising signs. It emphasizes to the left just inaugurated Astor Hotel. The only 10 story building appear here at the center.
Here.... The Times Tower.

The Renaissance style tower of Singer Building rending it was show here:
The Ernest Flagg's 47-story Singer Building and City Investing Building under construction. May 1907
59th Street was more elegant with the new building for the Plaza Hotel. August 1907. Architect. Henry J. Hardenbergh.
The Architecture critic and historian, Paul Goldberger says about The Plaza:
"The Plaza is a masterwork of Henry Hardenbergh, and it is a surely the greatest hotel building in New York. By 1907, more than two decades after the Dakota, Hardenbergh's style had softened somewhat. His sources had become more classical and more French than German and Flemish; hence the Plaza's great mansard, recalling a French Renaissance château, and its columned porticoes" (Goldberger, Paul. The City Observed. New York. New York. Vintage Books. 1979. Page 178).
He continued.
"But what is most important here is that Hardenbergh's skill a pure composition, at the arrangement of masses and surfaces and details in original and visually pleasing ways, is a evident here as in any of his earlier work. The Plaza was built for a remarkable site -behind and open square and adjacent to a corner of Central Park, and it commands this double-fronted urban site as a great château commands a rural vista" (Goldberger. 1979. Page 178).
The Singer Building under construction. August 29th, 1907
October 12th, 1907.
And December 1907.

Look at the great buildings that were built in the 20's with those "open" zoning laws.
I wish they'd tweak our zoning laws to award developers who provide us with good design (or some kind of community benefit) more FAR. Our zoning code now is so anti-design and anti-creativity.
The wedding cake that provide the 1916 zoning law to New York City skyline the best and more memmorables buildings of the modern world. It was speake about it since the next month. Please wait.

Not long ago I had the pleasure of seeing a documentary released by California Newsreel entitled Blacking Up: Hip-Hop's Remix of Race and Identity by filmmaker Robert Clift. The film opens by taking us on a kind of behind-the-scenes look at white american suburban culture in a way that mass media rarely does. We see high school dance team routines that include bandanas and hip-hop-inspired choreography. We're introduced to white people who have dealt with harassment from their white peers for allegedly "acting" black. We hear from personalities of different occupations and opinions (from Paul Mooney to Russell Simmons) concerning their thoughts on race in hip-hop and the ways in which white participation plays into the racial history of music in America. It is basically an entertaining and very well-thought-out exploration of the racial, residential and historical aspects that influence how we begin to consider the complex and ever-enduring question of where to "draw lines" when discussing white enjoyment and/or consumption of black cultures.
One of the things that stood out to me about the documentary was that it historicizes white involvement in hip-hop in a way that many critics and commentators fail to do. White people have long had a fascination with black people, hence the whole "blackface" thing, and all of its earlier and later, sometimes-not-so-subtle manifestations. There was Amos 'n' Andy and Al Jolson, Elvis Presley and Benny Goodman — people who are not only well-known in their fields but even hold titles of "king," for example, amongst a host of talented performers and in some cases, originators, of their styles. At one point in the doc, Amiri Baraka recites what he calls a "loku" that is something along the lines of, "If Elvis Presley is King, who is James Brown? God?"
It was only apt that I happened to see this documentary shortly before discovering this video of two girls imitating rapper Lil B's video for "I Cook". (For the Record, I found this while I was on Lil B's website, which I frankly had no business being on and have henceforth concluded is brake fluid for brain cells. But I was there because this guy had a sold out show at the Highline Ballroom a few weeks ago and has been gaining a (cult-like) following with his puzzling balance of over-the-top vulgarity and endearing sincerity.) On his site, the rapper encourages people to submit videos of themselves remaking his videos. And while this can disguise itself as a harmless thing, there is something to be said about a figure such as Lil B, a black male rapper to say the least, encouraging people to perform him.
Upon being appalled at a couple of the Lil B fan videos — and since my very exciting meditation on white people and the blues —I began to reflect on these matters of white people and hip-hop, white people and the blues, white people and blackness. And it has crossed my mind that these matters, like many, have a lot to do with privilege and entitlement — neither of which is generally a conscious influence, but the fact is white people (at large) have the option to pick from identities. As the black female lead said to her white lover in Memphis: A New Musical, "You can go back to being white whenever you want to." And even the implication that one ever "leaves" their whiteness is a bit misleading, because truly, skin privilege is something that one cannot dress/sing/dreadlock/punk out of (although there are surely ways to consciously address it and perhaps even eschew it). In the documentary, there is a clip where pop singer Empire Isis, a blonde-haired girl with dreadlocks, laments on the rigidity of identity. She stresses how people always want things to fit into a box. The amusing thing is, the "box" she refers to hardly applies to her with the same strictness and consequences that it does Other people. She enjoys a kind of fluidity that comes with power: rebellion within a privileged class. Hippies, punks and "wiggers" all jiving on a thin line over the safety net of whiteness.
Then there is the entitlement, which reveals itself in very profound ways. As a friend pointed out to me during a discussion about blues music, white people have a history of wanting to be able to enjoy certain parts of folks' artistic and cultural production, while being reluctant (or downright unwilling) to engage other parts of their experiences. For example, many people may be comfortable buying certain CDs or hanging certain posters on their walls — typically because they feel a genuine connection to the expression — but are unlikely to attend a speech by a black intellectual or to have read works by black writers. It's an odd (and virtually impossible) endeavor to divorce a people's cultural production from their *culture*, including their intellectual production, and the social and political climates that cradle it. And in a place where all of us are used to consuming art, people have a really huge problem with the notion that some art *may* not be produced for "public" (meaning their own) consumption. And what's more, people are oftentimes adamantly adverse to educating themselves about the intellectual or political climates that shape the art they so easily enjoy.
This all to say that when we are looking at something as multidimensional as white involvement with black music, there are many, many particulars to ponder, raise eyebrows at, and in some cases, outright detest. Things like privilege and entitlement, which I consider two of the most common inhibitors to people understanding race, racism and their role in things, are just a couple of forces to keep in mind when contemplating the questions Clift poses and so carefully inspects in his illuminating film: When is it adoration and when is it mockery? What's individuality and what's stereotype? When is it fun, and when is it "blacking up"?

Legislative requirements
Section 29A of the Local Government Act 2009 and section 31A of the City of Brisbane Act 2010 require local governments to consult with relevant state agencies about the overall state interest in the proposed local law before making a local law. Section 29A clarifies that a state interest check is not required if:
- the proposed local law is a subordinate local law
- a local law incorporates a model local law or part of a model local law. However, a state interest check must be undertaken on any part of the proposed local law that is different from, or additional to, the model local law.
Each local government must consult with those state departments that have portfolio responsibility for the area the local law relates to and obtain their feedback and comments for consideration before a local law is made by resolution.
Minister's power
Careful consideration should be given to the comments provided by state agencies. If, for example, the local law duplicates or contradicts a state law, the local government should either discontinue the local law making process or make amendments to address the state interest before proceeding.
The Minister for Local Government has powers under section 38AB of the Local Government Act 2009 and section 42 of the City of Brisbane Act 2010 to suspend or revoke a local law if it does not satisfactorily deal with the state interest, is contrary to another law or is inconsistent with the local government principles.
Good practice tips
It is the responsibility of each local government to undertake appropriate state interest checks in relation to proposed local laws and each local government is empowered to determine what process it will undertake.
An essential first step is to identify which state agencies are likely to have an interest in the issue to be addressed by the proposed local law. This will depend on what agencies deal with similar issues at the state level. A useful resource is the overarching Queensland Government website which contains the Administrative Arrangements Orders (under which the premier assigns responsibilities to ministers and their portfolios) and provides direct access to state agency websites.
Issues of interest to state agencies might include, but are not limited to, whether:
- there is any inconsistency between the proposed local law and state legislation
- the proposed local law may impact adversely on state policies, strategies or programs
- the proposed law meets appropriate standards (e.g. appropriate format; fundamental legislative principles)
- the use of language and citations is correct and appropriate.
A consistent, systematic, well documented approach will help each local government achieve a transparent and defensible process for seeking, considering and responding to state agency feedback on the potential state interests related to local laws.
Matters a local government might consider in undertaking their state interest checks include:
- What is the best way of seeking state agency feedback - formally/informally, structured/unstructured, verbal/written? Possible factors include:
- complexity and scope of the proposed local law
- number of agencies with a potential interest in the proposed local law
- location of relevant agencies (e.g. is there a nearby regional office?)
- feasibility of discussing or workshopping the proposed local law with officers from one or more agencies (e.g. in person or by teleconference).
- Who does the local government need to contact in each relevant agency? Possible factors to consider include:
- staff, positions and responsibilities of agencies may change
- advice from the agency's nearest regional office (where there is one)
- different agencies may deal with state interest checks in different ways (e.g. a request may be answered locally or referred to head office).
- What is a reasonable timeframe in which to expect feedback from a state agency? Possible factors include:
- Most agencies have internal processes for ensuring that the advice given to local governments (and other clients) is sound, accurate and comprehensive; these will affect their turnaround time.
- Advice from the relevant agency about the time they will need to properly consider and provide feedback on the proposed local law (anything less than four weeks is likely to be unrealistic).
- In what format should the state agency be asked to provide their comments? Options to consider include:
- a standard template - here is one example ( 50 KB)
- a standard questionnaire
- simply ask for comment and leave it to the agency to determine how it will respond.
- How will the local government record the state interest comments received and their response (e.g. decision to amend / not amend the local law)? This is particularly important in cases where a state agency or the Minister for Local Government challenges a local law on the basis that it does not satisfy the state's interests.
