Succubus Heat by Richelle Mead (may contain spoilers)
Succubus (n) - A alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men.
Pathetic (adj.) - A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid
(taken from the back cover of Succubus Blues)
That's what lured me into the world of Georgina Kincaid. The latest installment (Book 4) in the Georgina Kincaid series is Succubus Heat. It starts with Jerome, a demon with a man crush on John Cusack (although he'll never admit it) and Georgina's boss, loaning out our friendly neighborhood succubus to a fellow demon in Canada. Why? Because Georgina has been a tad bitchy since her break-up with her boyfriend, and he just can't deal with her in this mood.
While on assignment, Jerome is kidnapped and Georgina and the rest of the lesser immortals under Jerome's command suddenly find themselves stripped of their abilities. Faced with a mortal existence after centuries of immortality (not to mention the ability to shape-shift a killer wardrobe and perfect hair), Georgina experiences a brief agoraphobic episode, where she is left wondering if she now faces the real possibility of dying. On top of this, she must also face the fact that there is a chance that Jerome will never be coming back, as the Demonic Powers That Be, while concerned with Jerome's disappearance, seem more concerned with finding a replacement. Georgina wants Jerome back and sets out to find him. In her search, she is aided by ex-boyfriend Seth, psychotic ex-boyfriend Roman, and current boyfriend Dante.
Seth is the one who got away, and while they are no longer together, it is obvious they still love each other. Faced with Seth and the lack of her succubus abilities, Georgina realizes she can now be with Seth in the one way they couldn't be with Seth before for fear of draining his life force -- one of the downfalls of having sex with a succubus. The only things standing in their way is Georgina's current boyfriend and Seth's current girlfriend, Maddie Sato, who also happens to the Georgina's best mortal friend. Does she put aside her investigation and her relationship(s) to be with Seth? Not answering that.
Does she find Jerome? Does Seattle fall under the rule of a new Demon? Not answering those either. You'll have to read to find out. If you are new to the world of Georgina Kincaid, you have a month's worth of reading ahead of you (that's averaging a book a week).
Let me start off by saying that this series is not one I normally would have picked up, as I am a die-hard horror buff. But sometimes something about a book grabs you, whether it be the cover, the jacket copy, whatever, and you pick it up. I don't regret starting this series, as Succubus Blues was excellent. Each book just gets better, and your find yourself rooting for the supposed bad guys (aren't demons and vampires supposed to be evil?). The books are well thought out, and well written. There are just enough questions asked to keep you reading. And there are some questions that keep you reading into the next book. Despite things that happen, you can't help but hope that Georgina finds her happily ever after. So many readers I've seen posting on the series want it to be with Seth? Me? Originally, like everybody else, I was hoping it would be with Seth, but that won't happen unless Georgina can find the loophole in her contract (I'm not saying anything more on that -- you'll have to read to find out what I'm talking about). But now? I'm hoping Georgina's appeal is enough to reform Roman. After all, once he came back into her life a piece of her dream of happily ever after came true (you'll have to read Succubus Dreams to find out about that).
Recommendation: Highly recommended.

What to do, what to do. . .
Well, when I signed up for this, I wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but now I've made a decision, for those who care to know. Since I've picked up on my reading in the past few months, and I've been getting back to my writing, I will be posting my thoughts on books as I've finished them, and post some of my current projects in progress to get some general feedback -- providing I can get some honest criticism. I'm almost finished with Richelle Mead's Succubus Heat, so that will probably be my first review. Look for it in a couple of days. Later tonight, I'll post the opening of a new short story I'm working on.

Have you ever wondering if you can build more than one network marketing business at a time…successfully?
This one question or belief…"Can you build more than one network marketing business at a time?"…has to be one of the greatest lies that a new or old network marketer believes.
To answer the question about "Can you build more than one network marketing business at a time?" lets go right back to the beginning of WHY you got started in business for yourself…
Whatever the reason was, more time with loved ones, pay off debt, freedom, holidays, accomplishments etc etc etc, it wasn't for you to divide your energies and add confusion to your life.
Doing more than one network marketing business at a time is crazy mans talk. Sure there will be people out there that will say that you can…and they may be making money. however it will only be a short period of time.
I heard a great proverb that says: "A house divided against itself will fall" and "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways".
So stay focused and take it from me…trying to do more than one network marketing business at a time will steal your energy and complicate your life.
If you are thinking about changing your network marketing company, than just do it (but don't change if the problem is just you because you will have the same problems at the next company…if you need to work on you, then work on YOU….).
The only people who make a success of a second company are the ones that leave the one they are with and burn the bridges completely.
So don't be fooled, build only one network marketing business, focus on building and developing your skills and go make money.

Introduction: Super Easy Fun Vibrobot
After going through many different versions,
I came up with what I call the tri-Vi. All you need are:1) 1.5 v motor 2) AA battery) 3) three toothbrushes 4) 2 wires
Tools needed: 1) hot glue gun 2) pliers(optional)
Step 1: Toothbrushes
Take two toothbrushes and cut them off right at the base before the bristles. Leave a little bit of handle on the third one. After you have all three cut, glue them side by side three in a row.
Step 2: Mount Your Motor
Take the motor and apply hot glue to the bottom. Place it firmly on the middle toothbrush to where the shaft hangs slightly off the end of the toothbrush.
Step 3: Mount Battery
Take your battery and mount it horizontal on the little bit of handle hanging off of the middle toothbrush. Hot glue it on.
Step 4: Connect Everything Together
Take your wires and making sure you have a good connection, hot glue them to the battery. With the same end (positive and negative) connect it to the motor. Leave one end not hot glued. There you have it! You have your very own Tri-Vi! Connect the wire to the battery And it will vibrate around.

How To: Change the Delta Y transform so it subtracts the starting Y value from the ending Y value?
For kinetic wells that have more signal at the end of the assay than at the beginning Delta Y will produce negative results. This is because it subtracts the ending Y value from the starting Y).
You cannot change the Delta Y transform, but you could add the transform "Matrix Expression", set uts Input Matrix to be the Delta Y result and enter the expression:

Shaun and Moira Craill, LoooP Creative Ltd.
PrototypeLooop Creative Ltd. AguaPallet – a hollow, rotational, molded pallet for delivering humanitarian aid, that can be transformed into a hand cart and mobile water container of up to 70 liters. Initially, the product acts strictly as a typical shipment pallet, with a primary intended use as a water container once its initial function is completed.
Looop Creative Ltd. claims to have a global focus.
Looop Creative Ltd. intends to work with humanitarian agencies, including NGOs, national relief organizations, and international relief organizations to help distribute the AguaPallet when disaster occurs and the product is needed.
Pricing is not yet available for the AguaPallet. The goal is for NGOs to pay for the pallet and the victims of the natural disaster will receive this relief item free-of-charge. Looop Creative Ltd. plans to sell the AguaPallet as a traditional pallet to commercial companies and use those profits to subsidize the price of the AguaPallet to disaster relief NGOs.Interview with representativeTarget price of ~$100 USD Interview with representative
There are many water transport devices in the market, but no existing product also acts as a shipping pallet for disaster relief.
Any individual/family attempting to recover from a natural disaster that has destroyed typical water infrastructure, or any individual/family that has to travel long distances to collect water.
The AguaPallet is designed for mass production and has been developed with batch production or continuous process production in mind. Interview with representative
Currently planning on making the technology open source, but may begin to protect the intellectual property for applications outside of humanitarian aid. Interview withrepresentative
End users would acquire the AguaPallet through relief organizations that would intervene in a country post-disaster. The AguaPallet is also going to be sold to individuals without a regular water supply to their home, but this distribution plan is currently unknown.
None. No products distributed to date. The product is a prototype and is currently undergoing design, manufacturing, and distribution planning/review.
Since the Aguapallet is low-tech, the designers are relying on local technicians to be able to provide support. Any bicycle technician would be able to fix any issue with the AguaPallet Interview with representative
All components have been designed to be repaired. Unknown if local materials can be used for repairs or if user will have to contact manufacturer. The product also has modularity to varying wheel sizes depending on locally available parts
Lifespan information not yet available. All materials are benign and recyclable, and can be fully separated at the end of their life.
One AguaPallet can supply enough water in a single trip for a family for a whole day. Users will also be able to carry other items while transporting the water since it is now contained in a cart. The AguaPallet can also be used to assist people with mobility issues.
Vetted performance:
The AguaPallet has been developed into [3 different prototypes] , with the fourth prototype currently in design.Interview with representative
AP1 was a crude scale model given to individuals who had direct experience of the Christchurch earthquake in 2010 and 2011, and was made form cardboard to test handle concepts.
AP2 was built using off-the-shelf parts in Santiago, Chile using funding earned by winning UNICEF's "First 72 Hours" prize, and answered questions on maneuverability, water distribution, and balance of the concept.
AP3 aimed to fix structural strength issues resulting from using purchased components, and initial user testing began. AP4 is currently being designed and will be tested soon (as of July 2016).
Looop Creative Ltd. has received advice and aid from the following organizations during the design process: Auckland University of Technology (AUT) School of Engineering, Titan Industries for handle fabrication, Rebecca Mills for entrepreneurial advice, The AKINA Foundation for Social Enterprise mentoring, Melrose Chairs for wheelchair wheels and fabrication advice, Masport Industries for handle components and design advice, Avanti for advice on wheel specifications, Rotational Plastics for technical assistance with rotational moulding and spin welding components, IDEO.org and Acumen for Human Centred Design training, Autodesk for CAD support and Motovated for Engineering support.
The AguaPallet is a water transport device, and does not filter or disinfect the water it carries. If the inside of the container becomes contaminated, it may be difficult to disinfect/clean.
The product could be combined with a water collection technology before being used for transport. A filter or disinfectant can be used with the AguaPallet to ensure potable drinking water.
No current academic research features the AguaPallet or related pallet/water transport technology
The AguaPallet has been developed into 3 different prototypes, with the fourth prototype currently in design.Interview with representativeThe first two prototypes were developed using laboratory testing and design. The third prototype incorporated user testing.

Typically I gain inspiration from the news or other bloggers – or a combination thereof. When a thought – or concept – materializes my research kicks in to validate (or invalidate) the idea. Unlike others, my approach doesn't follow a given model nor does it lend itself to a generic screening process. This isn't to imply I ignore PE ratios, Dividend Growth Rates, Dividend Coverage, et.al., because I don't. It's just that outside the core 36 holdings I want to see a story, a compelling reason or something that makes me scratch my head and think.
Hidden in plain sight this week were a few that fit this category, so without further introduction, I present these for your consideration.
Bottling/Snacks Skirmish?
Pepsi announced the acquisition of South Africa's Pioneer Food Group. I believe this intensifies the battle between the two giants and provides Pepsi a leg up in the snack segment, adds some bottling and expands their distribution capabilities. Conversely, Coke has pretty much divested their bottlers with the exception of Africa. So the question becomes, "What's up with Africa?" and which one holds the answer to this riddle. Category: scratching my head
Watch List Addition
A friend of mine sent me a link to the Australian version of 60 minutes with an interesting (but non-standard) treatment for stroke victims. There are many more questions than answers with this treatment, most notably sustainability, yet the initial findings hold some promise. Ever the sucker for a speculative play in the realm of strokes (remember my Nexeon investment – (currently tardy in their filings)), perhaps a small investment may bear fruit. The drug in question is Etanercept and the company is Amgen. Bonus points for AMGN paying a dividend. Category: Good Story
Political Thought
We'll delve into the political arena a little as the Democrats have initiated an opening salvo illustrating to the world they might be able to walk and chew gum simultaneously. This effort is in the form of a Senate bill provocatively titled, "Stop Wall Street Looting Act of 2019". This bill aims to stem some of the more egregious acts of private equity firms when they take companies private. Assuming this gets through the proverbial roadblock in Mitch McConnell and the unrelenting lobbyists, I have a one minor concern (outside the name) that should be addressed in order for bipartisan support to be obtained. Section 309 is applicable to workers and places a higher priority on pension funding, which is well and good. The issue I have is in the charge to bankruptcy judges to consider job retention in a liquidation (sale) event. If I thought I could profit via productivity gains (technology) at the expense of labor, I would have no incentive to prevent full on bankruptcy – waiting to buy the pieces after the fact. Category: Compelling Reason (probable GOP inaction to avoid debate)
With these thoughts, I hope the week ahead is good for you!

Preventing session fixation attacks in Aleph's OPAC
- Article Type: Q&A
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 21
How can session fixation attacks in Aleph's OPAC be prevented?
Since the session ID is add, by default, to the OPAC URL, a session fixation attack could happen, in one of the following 2 scenarios:
1. Scenario 1:
- Person A logs in into OPAC and performs a search.
- Now he sends a complete URL (with session ID) to person B.
- When person B calls up this URL he is immediately logged in as person A and can see loans of person A etc.
The first scenario could be avoided by modifying $alephe_root/www_server.conf from
setenv server_f "&server_httpd/F/&session"
setenv server_f "&server_httpd/F/"
This will remove the session ID from the URL.
2. Scenario 2:
- Person A is not logged in OPAC and sends a complete URL (including session-ID) to person B asking him to check something in Aleph OPAC and to log in.
- Person B calls up this URL and logs in.
- In parallel person A still is online in OPAC with the same session ID and now has taken over control about account information of person B.
The second scenario could be avoided by setting SESSION-FIXATION=Y in $alephe_tab/tab100 (available from Aleph 21). Setting this parameter will change the session ID one person B logs in.
Additional Information
If you are using Aleph version before 21, it is recommended to modify server_f, as this will help with both scenarios.
Note that removing the session ID from the URL, will prevent users who disabled cookies in their browsers from creating a session. However, nowadays, disabling cookies is not a common practice.

If you're asking yourself "who's Yu Suzuki," then you should go stand in the corner and think about what you've done.
The creator of Outrun and the classic Virtua Fighter and Shenmue games is leaving his current job at Sega come the end of the year. He will still work as an advisor for Sega though, and he is still running his own company YS NET.
"In 2008 I established YS NET, my current company," he said. "I'll be leaving my current job at Sega this September, and after that point I'll remain on as an advisor."
"So I've formally been with both companies from 2008 until September 2011. With the new company, I've been doing pretty much what I personally want to do myself," Suzuki added.
If Sega still have the rights to Shenmue then I guess this doesn't help our chances for the elusive third title in the series. Looks like I'll have to keep dreaming.

Project Title: Music Apps and Pedagogical Approach in Emerging Technologies
In today's societies, technologies merge into music educational realm, thus make a huge impact on the way music is taught. I would like to research on music applications in regards to its effect on music teaching and how it transforms musicians' life. My aim is also to investigate the timeline of mobile music apps such as metronome, sight-reading, rhythm which are an extension of previous pedagogical methods, how they were developed, received, and revised to best suit users' needs, and their potential trends in revolutionizing music teaching. I am also interested in researching on cultural perspective towards music which dramatically shifts between "working" and "playing", especially when music apps come into the scene, making music an effective tool for "edutainment". From class's discussion and reading materials, I am inspired to rethink about the meaning of music, and its close relations to technologies, which in the course of time, have become an indispensable part of education. Being inspired by that, I would like to become more acquainted with technologies used in music profession, as well as keep my teaching and performing refreshed with up-to-date resources, this project will provide me with opportunities to do in-depth research in this particular area of musicking.
I plan to write reviews on differing music applications, choosing from 4 categories including; music theory, ear-training, rhythm, and note-identification, as well as research on its historical background. By conducting a research on primary sources, I plan to use the applications in order to thoroughly know its content and functions. I will also investigate the secondary sources by reading, and compiling users' reviews on music teachers' websites, and apps stores. I also plan to conduct interviews with professors and peers in pedagogy field who have used the apps. For final submission, a paper, presenting my discoveries, reviews, and insights regarding four categories of music apps, its background, and potential trends will be submitted. As for my final presentation, l would like to combine a paper reading and multimedia presentation in order to effectively demonstrate the apps.
Annotated Bibliography
Morin, Joy. "Color in My Piano: Devoted to Excellence in Piano Teaching, Music Apps." Accessed April 6, 2017. http://colorinmypiano.com/music-apps/
Joy Morin, an excellent and comprehensive piano teacher in Ohio provides detailed and thorough information of music apps. The music apps she chose to introduce, and give insightful reviews are divided into following categories: all-in-one apps, rhythm, note identification, music theory, ear training, and music history. From her own experiences using various apps in her studio, and presenting these sources to wider ranges of audience at MTNA National Conference, making her reviews strong, at the same time versatile.
This blogpost is extremely relevant and valuable to my research project as it provides information and divisions of apps in categories, in the same way I also intended to group the selected apps. Moreover, there are ongoing, active conversations, responses in the comments section that provides me with opinions from wide ranges of music teachers, music lovers, parents, and students. This serves as an integral discussion and "interviews" part that I plan to incorporate in my research project.
Kuzmich, John. "The Productive World of Music Apps." School Band & Orchestra 17, no. 4 (04, 2014): 40-41.
Kuzmich illustrates the production of music apps, informing readers on the genesis of the music apps, the process and development, and how it was welcomed into music education world. The article provides the distinct perspective and information on IOS and Android companies. For my research project, this article will serve as a "history of apps" section. I also plan to investigate on the difference in the working process of iOS and Android which the article gives thought-provoking information.
Musicians with Apps. "Music Education Apps." Accessed April 6, 2017. http://musicianswithapps.com/music-education-apps/
This website gives specific resources on music apps that created by Apple's iOS. It presents detailed descriptions as well as categorises the apps by varying costs; including free, low cost, high cost sections. This is particularly useful for my research project in terms of giving in-depth description on Apple's apps, and specific targets to music teachers who possesses iPhone and iPad.
Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. "10 of the Best Android Apps for Music Teachers." Last modified July 9, 2015. http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2015/07/some-of-best-android-apps-for-music-teachers.html
The webpage features selected Android apps, speaking specifically for music teachers.
The strengths of the apps are presented as well as suggestions for music teachers on how to incorporate the apps effectively into teaching. For my research project, this website serves as a contrasting point to the mentioned Apple's apps. The target group which is Android users also presents differing perspectives that can be used to compare with Apple users.
Viss, Leila. "Music Apps for Musicians and Music Teachers." American Music Teacher 65, no. 2 (Oct, 2015): 42-43.
Leila's review of "Music Apps for Musicians and Music Teachers" points out the main arguments of the book by providing summary and survey of the important points discussed. This is a general article meant for apps enthusiasts, as well as specific enough for music teachers, especially for those who teach high school and college students. For my research project, this review gives unbiased landscaped of apps and accountable opinions that I can incorporate into the discussion part.
Perry, Margaret. "Apps that Engage." MTNA e-Journal 4, no. 2 (11, 2012): 6-8.
The article summarises important points from a presentation on music apps in pedagogy symposium, collegiate chapter of MTNA. It provides step-by-step guide on how to effectively engage apps in class room settings, focusing on collegiate level. Teaching and using technologies as an aid became more efficient when knowing how to diligently and imaginatively approach them and introduce to newer audience. This article speaks well for my project, as I also focus on using the apps in college-aged group and individual teachings.

How and when to quit bankrolling your adult children
1089 days ago
You can't pay for your kids forever.
There has to be a time when parents cut their adult children off from frequent cash bailouts, says financial planner Sylvia Walker.

The Correlation Between Religion and War
Understanding our human heritage of hatred
Can man move beyond its own ignorance?
We must first learn how and why we maintain our human heritage of hatred and pass it on generation after generation.
We must stop this war with ourselves before it is too late.
Eliminate ignorance and fear

Religion and Wars vs reality
- How to Banish and Cleanse Negative Energy For the Beginner
What does a mage, witch, or shaman mean when they talk about
A continuous War:
There is a war in progress on this planet at all times.
A war that is real, frightening, and endless.
A war in which there can be no winners.
This virtual war game is being played on a daily (second to second) basis in the minds of all earthly inhabitants.
Fueled by "negative" energy:
This is NOT a theory, or speculation. It is painfully evident to those who will open their mind's eyes and see the reality of their psychic influences on others around them.
As these negative energies grow stronger, so does the devastating effects on this planet and on humanity itself - wars, strife, social unrest, intolerance and hatred - are all the fuels necessary to continue this war on ourselves.
How did we get here and why?
As ancient civilizations arose around the globe, materialistic values grew faster than intellectual values. Instead of taking a humanistic direction, value was erroneously misplaced on amassing material possessions as an indicator of superiority, success, and power.
Superstition provided the first seeds of religion. Superstitious beliefs and their practice came out of ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic, or chance, but mainly a false "conception of causation".
These led to an irrational attitude of mind, toward the supernatural nature, and the creation of 'gods', resulting from this superstition. A notion accepted, maintained, and nurtured, despite evidence to the contrary. Creating and causing an acute emotional abjection to be planted into humanity/mankind itself.
The accepted abjection of mankind unwittingly unleashed this subversive mentality of sinking to, or existing in, a low state of condition, (a cast down in spirit), showing utter hopelessness, resignation, expressing, or offered, in a humble and often an ingratiating emotional disposition.
For example: when crops were destroyed by any "natural" cause such as floods, storms, insect infestations, blight, et al..., it was perceived that it was some kind of punishment for something mankind did to displease a wrathful god.
All adverse phenomenon was then seen as a 'punishment' for something man did, or did not do, that upset their gods of harvest, the sun, the moon, the seasons and so on - ad infinitum.
Coupling these superstitions with the aggressiveness of other tribes, or individuals within their own tribes, who desired to control others and amass social commodities for personal gain - allowed Greed to set in, take root, and flourish.
To compensate for, or justify, these new psycho-social mechanics that caused feelings of inferiority, loss of control, or failure in any one field; they adopted a counterbalance by increasing their investments in another area - that being their superstitions.
The people themselves, being the downtrodden by uncontrollable circumstances, saw themselves as the victims of forces beyond their control. Forces that could only be set upon them by some unseen being. They named those negative unseen forces 'Satan' and 'evil'.
The 'innocent' people became the "good" and those who represented their oppressors became the "bad".
In order to justify their inability to overcome adversities beyond their control there was born this mystical battle between "Evil and Good".
To make it more realistic the magical stories of a "God versus Satan" concept was born.
To make this 'concept' even more real - religions were born, enhanced, and sold as truth, generation after generation. (The true concept of the adage that if one tells the same lie often enough they begin to belief it as truth).
That sickness of the psyche has become more complex and sophisticated today; but nonetheless, just as powerfully controlling and fueled by the same motivators, are the leaders of the thousands of religions that arose throughout our history, all across this planet.
And very few for altruistic reasons. Wealth, control and power over people by any means necessary was, and still is, their basic mainstay, and brainwashing from the time of birth - their greatest weapon for insuring its continuity.
Today in our "civilized" world, superstitions still rule, and ruin, the lives of millions of humans through that same fear of the unknown, unfounded guilt, unfounded hatred, ignorant intolerance, lust for power, and amassing material possessions.
So there is a war going on today that started during the early stages of man's development. The growth factors since early times were, and still are, selfishness, greed and control - greatly fueled by psychological abuses handed down generation after generation.
Can mankind rid itself of these shackles that hold us all captive to this suppression of our own making?
It is painfully doubtful.
- Irrational Discrimination vs Logical Discernment in Relation to Religious and Secular laws
Crimes against humanity and crimes against religious establishments, are two different concepts.
- Deprogramming: Shedding destructive Religious bonds. Can we do this by ourselves?
ridding ourselves of program viruses - in the brain. These viruses are known as religious deceptions and lies. Are you infected?
Shedding Old Ideas:
These ancient growth factors have become a necessary and essential part of our society and may indeed be the ruling factors for thousands of years to come unless humanity destroys itself in the process, which seems the most likely prospect for the future as indicated by global behaviors in today's world.
As long as ancient beliefs are maintained, that there is an ongoing war between good and evil, and religions to make sure it remains; wars must be an intrinsically indelible and intractable part of humanity's heritage.
Religions themselves have become the enemy of the people, the guardians of hatred, the executioners of truth, and the shackles that bind us to the past.
The evolution of the creative forces in the universe move forward unrelentingly and mankind stagnates and wallows in its own fear and self doubt.

Sorry d.william - that was not addressed to you. It was addressed to always.exploring. Her profile says "I believe in God, and I believe he rules the universe." and she said here "maybe it's time we ban together and fight the evil that calls itself religion."
Die hard atheists? LOL
How can you "believe God rules the Universe" and then claim to want to "fight the evil that calls itself religion"?
This is the problem with believers - they all claim to believe in a God that Rules the Universe and then delude themselves that this is not religion.
Please don't give up yet. We do have a God, maybe it's time we ban together and fight the evil that calls itself religion. If we just give in then they win for sure.
Until people learn to think for themselves and no longer need the constraints of religion there will be no peace. Can't see it happening any time soon. Sad look out for our planet.
Third Mormon war then?
Maybe. If Mitt Romney gets elected - I would be worried. They believe all sorts of rubbish - even worse than the usual Christian claptrap.
I am not so sure. I am English and we are mostly getting rid of this harmful drivel. As are many European countries. It is spreading in the 3rd world and I know a lot of Christians go to Africa and South America to find their peasantry now.
It only works on uneducated and poor peasants.
I read an interesting quote recently which said "If we lost all scientific knowledge and had to start from scratch we would end up eventually with the same knowledge we have now. The same is not true of religion." lol
I think we can rid ourselves of this disease, but it is probably going to take a major disaster. Which is what the religionists seem to be hoping will happen to prove that they are "right".
I wish you luck with as much positive energy as I can send your way. End the war on ourselves!

Over the Rainbow (also known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") is a song composed by Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg the text came from. The song was written for Judy Garland, to sing in the film classic The Wizard of Oz. It became the most famous song by Garland[source? ].
The simple text leave a young girl, that wants to escape from the "hopeless mishmash" of the world, away from the sad rain drops, the beautiful new world "beyond the Rainbow". It allows the hope of opening a door to a place where problems disappear.
Along with the song "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin , the song was by the American troops in Europe during the Second World War, adopted as a symbol for the United States. The (at that time) distant country, where, after years of war, just as would be like over the Rainbow.

- 5 in which the song is used
The Wizard of Oz[Edit]Edit[1][2]Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz(1939)
An ancient story tells that this classic from the movie was extracted after showing a preview of the movie, because the boss of MGM, Louis b. Mayer, thought that the song from the movie the pace would pick up. Much of the music in the film radiates more energy from, in contrast to these "sweet Melody". Because the music of the song, however, often in the film returned, including in the credits, was removing the number of short duration. Harold Arlen and film producer Arthur Freed talked back to the boss so that the number appeared in the film.
A part of the song is from the movie. A verse would be sung while Dorothy (Judy Garland) locked up in the castle of the witch, sat helpless waiting for her death. A rehearsal of this scene was included in the Deluxe CD set. By the end of the verse is Dorothy unable to sing, and ends in tears with the words "I'm frightened, Auntie Em; I'm frightened! ".
This sentence was followed by the appearance of Auntie Em in the crystal ball of the witch, after which the witch community starts to laugh, in-camera, directly towards the public.
This portion of the film was seen as too emotional, after which it was removed from the film. The younger viewers would be spared from emotions.
Original recording[Edit]Edit
Judy Garland recorded "Over the Rainbow" for the soundtrack of the movie on October 7, 1938. In 1939, the year that the Goliath was torpedoed by the Germans, a single of the song came from. In March 1940, the same recording used for an album of the film. Garland sang the song always fit on the music without it. They sang it just like in the movie, because they say so close to the character Dorothy remained, that the message of the place over the Rainbow could as well.
It was only in 1956 was the true soundtrack released by MGM. The outcome of the soundtrack was vindicated at the premiere of the film on tv. The soundtrack was released again still more frequently in subsequent years.
The song is often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", although the correct title "Over the Rainbow". The introduction of the song, which is not in the film is used, is often used during Theatre versions ofThe Wizard of Oz. Use this intro also singers, probably to extend the duration of the song. The second verse of the song was, as mentioned above, erased. Instead sang Dorothy just again the first verse. The only time the second verse was sung was on the recording of "The Wizard of Oz In Concert", where singer Jewel performed the song. Also in theatre performances is the second verse Sung, yet it is an unknown piece of text for many.
The song was covered a number of times, including by p! nk Marusha (happy hardcore 1994), Gene Vincent, Frankie Lymon, Ingrid Michaelson, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Frank Sinatra, Ariana Grande and Glee. Guns N ' Roses also has an instrumental version for this album Chinese Democracy that eventually not on final album. And on 26 February 2011 Laura Omloop sang the song in the 'Kom op tegen Kanker' show on One. In 1965, the song was the second single from The Cats, it was not a hit.
Eva Cassidy[Edit]Edit
Eva Cassidy made an own version of the song, and performed it on "Blues Alley", a night club in Georgetown. This performance was recorded by her boyfriend Bryan McCulley. Five years after the death of Cassidy this recording was shown during Top of the Pops, a tv show in the United Kingdom. The producer Mark Hagen had his doubts about the broadcasting of the images because the quality quite amateurish. Yet the movie brought a huge stream of comments to weigh. People flooded the studio with phone calls about who this unknown Eva Cassidy was.

Medical Update
Cleveland Clinic Chose Top 10 Medical Innovations for 2015
The Cleveland Clinic announced its list of the top 10 medical innovations that are likely to have a major impact on improving patient care in 2015. A panel of 110 Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists selected the list.
The 10 medical innovations were:
1. Mobile stroke unit
2. Dengue fever vaccine
3. Cost-effective, fast, painless blood testing
4. PCSK9 inhibitors for cholesterol reduction
5. Antibody-drug conjugates for cancer patients
6. Checkpoint inhibitors for cancer patients
7. Leadless cardiac pacemaker
8. New drugs for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
9. Single-dose intraoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer
10. New drug for heart failure
Stem Cells Showed Promise for Stroke Recovery
Infusing stem cells into the brain may help boost recovery after a stroke, according to a pilot study published in Stem Cell Translational Medicine.1 The therapy used CD34+ cells, a set of stem cells in the bone marrow that give rise to blood cells and blood vessel lining cells.
Soma Banerjee, MD, of Imperial College London, and colleagues conducted the study of 5 patients who recently had a stroke, 4 of whom had suffered particularly severe strokes resulting in loss of speech and marked paralysis on 1 side of the body. The investigators drew a bone-marrow sample from each patient. They isolated the CD34+ cells and then infused them into an artery that supplies the brain. All patients were treated within 7 days of their stroke.
Patients were monitored for 6 months, and the investigators charted their ability to carry out everyday activities independently. Three of the 4 patients who had experienced a severe stroke were able to walk and look after themselves independently at the end of 6 months. All 5 were mobile and could take part in everyday tasks.
"This is the first trial to isolate stem cells from human bone marrow and inject them directly into the damaged brain area using keyhole techniques," study author Paul Bentley, MA, MRCP, PhD, said in a news release. "Our group is currently looking at new brain scanning techniques to monitor the effects of cells once they have been injected."

Irregular Heartbeat Increased Risk for Silent Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) may more than double the risk of silent cerebral infarction (SCI), according to a review published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.1
Shadi Kalantarian, MD, MPH, of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and colleagues analyzed data from 11 studies that reported on the association between AF and SCI. A total of 5317 stroke-free patients (mean age, 50.0-83.6 years) with AF were included in the metaanalysis. Autopsy studies were heterogeneous and of low quality; therefore, they were excluded from the metaanalysis of the risk estimates.
When computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were combined, AF was associated with SCIs in patients with no history of symptomatic stroke (odds ratio [OR], 2.62 [95% CI, 1.81-3.80]; P = 0.118). This association was independent of AF type (paroxysmal vs persistent). The results were not altered significantly when the analysis was restricted to studies that met at least 70% of the maximum possible quality score (OR, 3.06 [CI, 2.24-4.19]). Seventeen studies reported the prevalence of SCIs. The overall prevalence of SCI lesions on MRI and CT among patients with AF was 40% and 22%, respectively.
"AF is associated with more than a 2-fold increase in the odds for SCI," the study authors said. "Limitations of the metaanalysis were that most studies were crosssectional, and autopsy studies were heterogeneous and not sufficiently sensitive to detect small lesions.

PSA Testing Reduced Prostate Cancer Deaths
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing may reduce prostate cancer mortality, according to results from the European Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC), published in Lancet.1
The ERSPC, a multicenter, randomized trial with a predefined centralized database, analysis plan, and core age group (55-69 years old), is assessing PSA testing in 8 European countries. Eligible men (50-74 years) were identified from population registries and randomly assigned by a computer to screening or no intervention. The primary outcome was prostate cancer mortality in the core age group. Analysis was by intention-to-treat; investigators performed a secondary analysis that corrected for selection bias due to nonparticipation.
Data truncated at 13 years of follow-up showed that 7408 prostate cancer cases were diagnosed in the intervention group and 6107 in the control group. The rate ratio of prostate cancer incidence between the intervention and control groups was 1.91 after 9 years, 1.66 after 11 years, and 1.57 after 13 years. The rate ratio of prostate cancer mortality was 0.85 after 9 years, 0.78 after 11 years, and 0.79 at 13 years. The absolute risk reduction of death from prostate cancer at 13 years was 0.11 per 1000 person-years, or 1.28 per 1000 men randomized, which is equivalent to 1 prostate cancer death averted per 781 men invited for screening or 1 per 27 additional prostate cancers detected. After adjustment for nonparticipation, the rate ratio of prostate cancer mortality in men screened was 0.73.

Men With Low-Risk Diets, Other Low-Risk Factors Had Reduced Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Combined low-risk diet and healthy lifestyle practices reduced the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in men, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.1
Researchers in a population-based, prospective cohort study enrolled 20 721 Swedish men aged 45 to 79 years who had no history of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol levels. Patients were enrolled in 1997 and followed through 2009. Participants disclosed on a questionnaire if they had any of 5 low-risk factors: a healthy diet, moderate alcohol consumption (10 to 30 g/day), no smoking, being physically active for more than 40 minutes per day or more than 1 hour per week, and having a waist circumference less than 95 cm.
During the follow-up period, 1361 incidents of MI were recorded. Participants with low-risk dietary choice and moderate alcohol consumption had a relative risk of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.48-0.87) compared with those having none of the 5 low-risk factors. Patients who had all 5 low-risk factors had a relative risk of 0.14 (95% CI, 0.04-0.43) compared with those who had none of the low-risk factors.
"This combination of healthy behaviors, present in 1% of the men, could prevent 79% (95% CI, 34-93%) of the MI events on the basis of the study population," the study authors said.

States With Highest Cervical Cancer Rates Have Lowest HPV Vaccination Rates
Some states with the highest incidence of cervical cancer had the lowest rates of vaccinating girls against the human papillomavirus (HPV), according a report by The Los Angeles Times on a health disparities conference organized by the American Association for Cancer Research.
States with the highest incidence of cervical cancer and the lowest rates of HPV vaccination included Arkansas (10.2 cases of cervical cancer per 100 000 women, 41% vaccination rate), Florida (9.4 cervical cancer cases per 100 000, 39% vaccination rate), and Mississippi (9.6 cervical cancer cases per 100 000, 40% vaccination rate). Massachusetts, the state ranking in the bottom 3 for cervical cancer rates at 6.0 per 100 000, had a vacation rate of 69%.
The national average for cervical cancer is 8.2 cases per 100 000; the national vaccination rate is 57%.
Patients were considered to have a vaccination if they had received at least 1 of the 3 vaccination doses over the 8-month period recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

RCC U13 Girls are through to the final of the Hampshire County Girls Championship U13, which will be at St Cross & Symondians on Weds 10th July. It will either be against New Milton or Trojans.
We're also through to round 4 of the Lady Taverners T20 – this is a national competition with 4 major groups. In round 4 we are playing Richmond (away) on Sun 7th July and if we were to win this, we would be through to the Regional Final for our group. The four winners of the regional finals compete at the national finals in Cheshire on 7th August. Still some big games ahead of us for this one!
This is the first time we've entered both of these competitions, so we're really pleased with how the girls have performed. It's also been good as we've been playing against teams outside of the North Hants league structure.

Gigi Hadid suffered a wardrobe malfunction when one of the straps on her sexy black lingerie look snapped mid-walk at the VS Fashion Show in Paris last night...
Gigi Hadid looked nothing short of incredible on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway last night in Paris.
The 21-year-old is hardly a newbie, but still, Gigi totally owned it as she strutted her stuff like a total pro alongside 52 other models at the highly anticipated VS show 2016.
But with every live event comes the risk of unexpected mishaps, and Gigi found herself on the receiving end of a bit of an outfit disaster when one of her lingerie looks came undone halfway down the runway.
Read: Kendall Jenner Causes Concern With Her Odd Behaviour Backstage At The VS Show…
The blonde beauty was rocking huge black wings and a seriously sexy strappy black lingerie set during the Secret Angel segment of the show when one of the chest straps randomly snapped.
The strap was left flailing around as Gigi finished her strut, but ever the pro, she didn't let it affect her confidence. Attagirl.
It was a special night for Gigi, as she welcomed sister Bella to walk in her first ever VS Show, and the sisters were pretty much glued to each other's side backstage.
However, our insider did note that Gigi 'didn't seem herself' backstage whilst the girls were getting ready, with Gigi refusing to do interviews and also appearing not to be at the after-party, along with BFF Kendall Jenner.
It was also rumoured that boyfriend Zayn Malik might show up, but our insider revealed that he didn't appear to be there.
Read: Bella Hadid's Awkward Ex Encounter At The VS Show Was Hard To Watch…
Gigi also found herself subjected to some serious mum embarrassment when Yolanda Foster decided to post a throwback snap to Instagram to celebrate both of her daughters walking as Angels.
Sharing a snap of a young Gigi and Bella naked except for a pair of huge fluffy white Angel wings, Yolanda wrote: '❤17 years after I photographed my "ANGELS" Today is the day that they will be walking in the fashion show together……… #Excited #Grateful #Paris #VS #Sisters #ProudMommy'.
Oh, MOMMMMMMM.
Latest Stories
But whilst it was clearly posted with sweet intentions, the photo was soon blasted by some as being inappropriate due to the girls' nakedness, with one user writing: 'This picture is a sweet and beautiful family pic but not appropriate for social media.'
Eep. We're sure Gigi and Bella would also rather that was one that was kept for the private family album, too… Mums, eh?

My enormous suite in the enormous Barcel?? hotel in Sevilla
This is a video I took at the awesome Barcel?? Renacimiento hotel, where I'm staying for the Eventoblog event here in sunny Sevilla, Spain.
The hotel is huge, not only the lobby and the other facilities, but also the suites on the ground floor. I'm staying in one of them and I've honestly never seen a room this big.??
Granted, I'm sure there are many hotels that boasts much larger and more luxurious suites, but I've never really cared about the size of hotel rooms I stay in, as long as there's a good bed and bathroom, so this is a bit too much for me.

Gare Saint-Lazare is a station located in Paris 8th district near the Opera Garnier and the Grands Magasins Parisiens (Galeries Lafayette and Printemps). The neighborhood of Europe: Gentiment Bourgeois, facing the clocks show the hours of four corners of the world. The station Saint-Lazare stands in Paris 8th. Proud to welcome every day thousands of Parisians mingling in the morning with the crowd to catch their train, or as impatient at night to return to their cozy nest. This large crossroads of Haussmann apartments (RER, metro and suburban lines) has the transport conveniences in Saint-Lazare, then the proximity of department stores (Galeries Lafayette and Printemps) as small businesses. And especially quality public or private schools.
We propose serveral hotels arround the Gare Saint Lazare train station in Paris.

Cassantec prognosticates future malfunctions. Its advanced prognostic capabilities are based on stochastic process modeling and analysis provided through Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. The Cassantec Prognostic Report enables asset operators to understand when in the future a malfunction is likely to occur.
While the Cassantec Prognostic Report offers the same benefits as established products in the diagnostic segment, it provides superior value by including an explicit prognostic horizon and providing an explicit risk profile.
The need
Mining is increasingly demanding and takes place in increasingly challenging environments. Deposits are either farther away from infrastructure or even deeper and more inhospitable. In order to open up these, however, all efforts are aimed autonomous mining as far as possible. This, in turn, presupposes many requirements, which are only currently being addressed in the first steps.
Surveillance of machinery and equipment has already been or is being developed; however, a basic requirement for autonomous mining in remote areas or difficult conditions is the reliable predictability of failures, malfunctions, service times, etc. Concrete market demand asks for reducing unscheduled maintenance and/or repair, for shifting maintenance into low-cost or low-revenue periods, for pre-empting damages and reducing redundancies.
This actually refers to the complete underground mining market as well as these functions at the same time would also contribute to the whole opencast mining market.
The solution
Prognostics for Condition Based Maintenance
Value proposition
From the existing partners of EIT RawMaterials, as well as from the external SMEs and start-ups involved in projects or promotions, there are various efforts to create projects and proposals to create further prerequisites for mining under difficult conditions. None of it, nor any previous project or proposal, however, goes beyond acute state monitoring. As a result, Cassantec significantly extends the value chain covered by the EIT RawMaterials and its partners in the area of mining to the fourth dimension, and thus enables many other conceivable projects and innovations.


text: sn0wh0p 1 Posted January 16 I see lots of people trying Vitamin D3, while that is helpful,I hope more proper medicines would be used Melatonin is part of the tryptamine family. Tryptamine is the common functional group in a set of compounds termed collectively substituted tryptamines. This set includes many biologically active compounds, including neurotransmitters and psychedelic drugs. Serum melatonin levels are reduced in patients with cluster headache, particularly during a cluster period. This loss of melatonin may be the inciting event necessary to at least produce nocturnal cluster attacks. Providing back melatonin via an oral supplementation route theoretically could act as a cluster preventive. The efficacy of 10mg of oral melatonin was evaluated in a double-blind, placebocontrolled trial.20 Cluster headache remission within three to five days occurred in five of 10 patients who received melatonin compared with zero of 10 patients who received placebo. Melatonin only appeared to work in episodic cluster patients. Recently,melatonin has also been shown to be an effective preventive in chronic cluster headache.21 A negative study was published utilizing melatonin for cluster prevention but the dosing was lower than the other studies and a sustained preparation was given.22 The author believes that melatonin should be initiated in all cluster patients as a first-line preventive sometimes even before verapamil. It has minimal side effects and in a number of patients it can turn off nocturnal clusters within 24 hours. Melatonin also appears to prevent daytime attacks. In addition, even when melatonin does not completely resolve all of the attacks it appears to lower the dose necessary of the other addon preventives. The typical dose of melatonin used is 9mg at bedtime (three 3mg tablets) but higher dosages may be necessary. If one brand of commercial melatonin does not work another should be tried because the true amount of melatonin in various OTC brands varies widely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joan will always be Joanie to me. She will forever wear over-sized glasses that made her look even cuter. I remember being jealous of her year in Ireland. I remember how adorable she was with John. Lately, my memories are of her Facebook postings with Cole, and her holiday craft day (I hope her friends will continue the tradition). Joanie seemed to love everyone. I know she had great sadness and difficulties in her life, but she always showed her smiling face. The world and her family have lost a beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Joanie.

LIMA — James Smith's journey to walk to San Francisco, California, began July 9 in Manchester, Pennsylvania.
He left with only $6 in his pocket.
The 50 year old was in the Lima area, heading westward, stopping for an interview at the downtown Kewpee location on Friday.
He's calling his trip the Point the Thumb Journey.
"A lot of people thinks it means Thumbs Up or hiking. Point the Thumb at yourself, not the finger at someone else," said Smith.
It should take him 150 days to reach the west coast.
"I've been through a lot of tragedy in my life. I was always an upbeat person and the last five years of my life, I've gotten involved in a few personal and professional issues. It just sucked the life out of me. You give and give and people take. I changed who I became as a person and it didn't dawn on me how much I changed until I picked my daughter up off the school bus one day in February, she's 11, and I saw the look on her face and I said what's the matter? She said, 'You're right, people do suck,'" said Smith.
He said he felt like he failed as a parent in letting his negativity influence his daughter.
He saw this movie "Into the Wild" about a young man who lived off the grid in Alaska named Devin Supertramp and was inspired.
"I left my job, I got my kids with their mom and said I'm going to walk 20 miles a day across the country," he said.
Along his trek, he's found people who are generous and people who were not so nice.
He's had people feed him and put him up for the night. He's had people ignore him when he asked for directions.
"When I walk against traffic, I wave to people. It took 12 people to wave back to me. Eight more people, nobody waved. So I went on my website and said I'm not judging anybody, but what is it about people that five percent of my fellow humans can't think enough to just raise their hand? You can't miss me. I'm 6' 4" with a big yellow shirt, walking right at you and you can't raise your hand and wave to me? I can guarantee you if I gave them the finger, 19 of those 20 would have responded," he said.
The people of Lima responded positively as he made his way to the Kewpee downtown restaurant.
"The folks here, just in the last four or five blocks, I took three or four pictures (with people), very encouraging, very supportive, so it's been great so far," he said.
A group sitting toward the front of Kewpee even bought him a drink and as he was leaving, Smith placed some change in the Salvation Army kettle in front of the restaurant.
He'll be heading towards Delphos and then hopes to arrive in Van Wert Sunday and is looking for help in food and accommodations along the way.
