This is one of my flash animations re-designed to HTML5 with help of CreateJS. Hand-drawn animated fantastic mechanism from letters "under construction" with customizable logo integrated on screen, jQuery countdown timer, 2 skins (light and blueprint). Cartoon retro-styled mechanism animation centered in browser window. Your logo is clickable with custom URL.
- Classic cartoon frame-by-frame animation with countdown timer.
- Customizable liquid color, logo.
- Ready to upload index.html page with animation centered in browser.
- 2 Skins (light and blueprint).
- Archive include original flash animation .FLA and photoshop .PSD sources.
- Fallback dummy page with static picture for IE8 and earlier versions.
- Detailed help file and commented code.
Due to CreateJS requires the HTML5 Canvas, which is not available for IE8 and earlier browsers, in this theme I add dummy fallback page with non-animated .jpg machine picture and alert message.
Due to original animation was ported from flash, if you want to change color of animated letters (outlines and fills) you need to edit source .fla file in Flash CS6 as described in help. Note that liquid color and other colors you can change without editing in flash, just with changing variables in css or javascript.
In Opera browser this animation have some strange tiny glitches (thin horizontal lines occuring above animation), I still could not figure out why. The rest browsers is ok.
Hope you enjoy this file, and take a few seconds to rate and share it.

You won't bee-lieve this maternity photoshoot is for real
Although sure, it is bee-utiful
Although sure, it is bee-utiful
When mother-to-be Emily Mueller was setting up her maternity shoot, she came up with the perfect theme that was sure to start a buzz on social media. Enlisting the help of photographer Kendrah Damis, the Ohio beekeeper decided to celebrate the upcoming birth of her fourth child by covering her pregnant stomach in hundreds of live bees.
Followers of Damis' photography page on Facebook took to the comments section to express their mixed opinions on the unusual photo shoot.
Many commenters were confused or thrown off by the images, with some showing concern for the safety of Mueller and her unborn baby. Others, though, saw the beauty Mueller and Damis were trying to capture in the maternity shoot and were pleasantly surprised to see such a unique set of photos.
While some photographers may not have agreed to do a shoot with live insects, Damis wasn't deterred by Mueller's request. "I am very laid back," Damis told Cosmopolitan.com. "I just said, 'Okay.' After I thought about it a little, I told her there would be backlash, but I could handle it. Knowing she is an experienced beekeeper, I knew she knew what she was doing." And, the photos prove that it is possible to look great even if you are covered in a swarm of six-legged creatures.
"It is difficult to pose someone who is covered in bees!" Damis admitted. "I basically just told her some ways to put her head because her hands were stuck where they were at first. Once she freed her left hand, she had a little fun with it." As difficult as it may have been to complete the shoot, Mueller seems more than happy with her photos and even shared one to her personal Facebook page.
"I love the one of her reaching for the beehive the most," Damis said of the photos. "It is so symbolic to her and her journey as a mother!"

Custom Gun Rails Large LEA This End Toward Enemy Rail Cover
Item Code: LEA070NME
Reviews / Q&A
Our small Laser Engraved Aluminum (LEA) rail covers are made of high strength, abrasion and solvent resistant thermoplastic bonded with a hardcoat anodized, laser engraved aluminum insert. The anodization process prevents the image from chipping, cracking or peeling.
They are secured on your rail using two side tension screws that apply pressure to two locking tabs (we throw in an allen wrench with every order). There is absolutely no metal to metal contact. This prevents heat transference and prevents damage to the rail. The small LEA's measure 1 3/8" x 2 3/4" (35mm x 70mm) and weigh about 17 grams (that's about as much as three nickels). Proudly made in the U.S.A.
The patent pending snap on/slide on clamp allows you to easily place your CGR rail guard anywhere there is space available without having to remove position sensitive accessories.All CGR products have been designed for placement flexibility, minimum obstruction and unparalleled durability. They fit on any mil-spec 1913 rails, including paintball and airsoft guns. No CGR products exceed 1/4" height above the top of your rail preventing interfering with other accessories.
CGR's relentless passion for perfection ensures that all of our products meet the absolute highest of standards. Practically, tactically and aesthetically there is simply no comparison. Not only are CGR products a great way to identify your gun from others, it is also a fun way to express yourself without permanently altering your weapon. Our Patent Pending Snap and Set rail clamping technology affords the user maximum placement flexibility, thereby not committing your CGR product to a particular weapon or position.

B is BDMs/BMDs
Births, Deaths and Marriages or BDMs are also known in other countries as BMDs which actually makes more sense, after all if we marry it's unlikely to come after we die, rather beforehand.
I mentioned in the last post that the best genealogy explores backwards from ourselves, working through the generations. This is where we focus on those BMD data to unearth details of parents etc. How we do that will be revealed as we move from A to Z.
B is for BLOGS
I like to call family history blogs "writing your family story online". Since all of us participating in the A to Z challenge are bloggers I'm probably preaching to the converted on the value of blogs generally.
What do family history or genealogy blogs offer us? One view is that they are great "cousin bait" because people searching for the same ancestors as us will find our blog when they search the internet especially if we've used good tags and categories. Another view, is that it's a great way to tell your family's story in bite-sized chunks which is less intimidating and less expensive than a published book. A third opportunity is to use your blog as a way to leave an historic memoir of your life for future generations – what school was like, how you celebrated Christmas and other festivals etc.
In my own family research, and in my wider research of other families of emigrants, I've often been surprised by the contacts I've made through my blog. There's also a great umbrella group, called Geneabloggers and established by genea-guru Thomas MacEntee. The level of personal support and encouragement from peers in this group is quite astounding and it's funny how when we meet, it's as if we've known each other for ages.
B is for Beyond the Internet
I'm also obsessive about the research we can do offline or "beyond the internet". A few years ago I wrote a weekly post about these search options, some of which have now been digitised. You can find a list of the topics here. During this journey I'll be encouraging you to move offline and explore other sources.

We are Culture!
We are Culture!
In the 75 years of its existence, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra has established itself as one of the world's leading chamber orchestras.
Over the decades, the orchestra has worked closely with the conductors Carlo Zecchi (principal conductor 1966 – 1976), Philippe Entremont (principal conductor 1976 – 1991), later with Yehudi Menuhin, Sándor Végh, Heinrich Schiff (principal conductor 2005 – 2008) and Stefan Vladar (principal conductor 2008 – 2018). In 1946, Benjamin Britten conducted the Vienna Chamber Orchestra in the performance of his Serenade Op. 31. In 1952, at the age of 9, Daniel Barenboim made his debut with the orchestra, and in 1964 Alfred Brendel performed with the orchestra.
Joji Hattori has been Principal Guest Conductor since 2018. His collaboration with the orchestra began in 2004.
In Vienna, the orchestra performs numerous concerts in addition to its own series (Matinees and Prime Time), including at the Vienna Musikverein. In the Theater an der Wien and the Vienna Chamber Opera, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra has been a partner of both opera houses since the 2012/13 season as an opera orchestra.
Due to the crisis, tours of Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Portugal, Colombia, China, Russia and Japan had to be put on hold for an indefinite period.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have cirrhosis of the liver. I also get tension headaches. What pain reliever can I take for my tension headaches?
DEAR READER: One of the liver's many jobs is detoxification — ridding the blood of toxins. Cirrhosis, a liver disease, interferes with the liver's ability to detoxify substances in the blood.
Your liver sees medications as toxins. When your liver is compromised, medications that are normally considered "safe" may no longer be safe for you.
The safest pain medicine for someone with cirrhosis is acetaminophen (Tylenol). However, even this is more risky in people with cirrhosis. That's because this medicine can be toxic to the liver. There is some evidence that it may be more likely to injure a liver already damaged, such as from cirrhosis.
I advise patients with cirrhosis not to take more than 2,000 milligrams (mg) in one day, or more than 650 mg per dose. That's the equivalent of two regular-strength acetaminophen tablets. Take acetaminophen for the shortest time possible. Some doctors believe it's OK for people with cirrhosis to take as much as 3,000 milligrams (mg) in one day, but I'm more conservative.
Another frequently used non-prescription class of painkillers is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen. Unfortunately, cirrhosis raises the risk of internal bleeding from NSAIDs. Also, cirrhosis makes the kidneys more vulnerable to injury from drugs, particularly NSAIDs. So I think it's best for people with cirrhosis to avoid NSAIDs.
When possible, use non-drug strategies to relieve pain. Here are some strategies you can try when you experience a tension headache:
— Ice or heat, and rest. Numb the pain with an ice pack, wrapped in a towel and applied to your forehead and temples for 15 minutes at a time. If muscle tension accompanies your head pain, apply heat packs to your neck and the back of your head. Retreating to a dark, quiet room to rest can also help.
— Tai chi and yoga appear to reduce headache frequency and severity. But they don't help relieve a headache once it has begun.
— Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into the skin. This may release endorphins, the body's natural painkilling chemicals. Acupuncture can be used for relieving head pain as it occurs and for reducing headache frequency.
— Biofeedback. Head pain is often triggered by muscle tension. During biofeedback sessions you'll learn to recognize when you're tensing up the muscles in the back, neck, shoulders or head — and to relax them before they cause pain. Biofeedback treats and prevents tension headaches.
— Massage. I've had several patients who have found that massage of the muscles in the back of the neck gave them relief, though I know of no studies proving its value.
Finally, avoid situations that seem to bring on your tension headaches, such as working at a computer uninterrupted for several hours, or arguments with your children. It may reduce the number of tension headaches you get, and it won't damage your liver.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/07/25/art.palinbye0725.cnn.jpg caption="Palin argues against the president's health care proposals in a new Op-Ed."](CNN) - For the second time since resigning the Alaska governorship more than a month ago, Sarah Palin is adding her voice to the fiery debate over health care. This time, Palin is hitting the pages of the Wall Street Journal as President Obama gets set to address a joint session of Congress on the issue.
"The answers offered by Democrats in Washington all rest on one principle: that increased government involvement can solve the problem. I fundamentally disagree," Palin writes in the 1,110 word op-ed in Wednesday's edition of the paper.
"Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones," the former GOP vice presidential candidate continues. "Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy."
Palin, whose initial Facebook posting on so called "death panels" last month is credited with spurring heated opposition to the House Democratic health care proposal, again raises the now widely debunked claim a government panel could determine which senior citizens receive vital treatments.
"Is it any wonder that many of the sick and elderly are concerned that the Democrats' proposals will ultimately lead to rationing of their health care by-dare I say it-death panels?" she writes. "Establishment voices dismissed that phrase, but it rang true for many Americans."
Ultimately, Palin says, Congress looks like it will abandon this so called "death panel" legislation because Americans made their voices heard in the contentious town halls last August.
"But the fact remains that the Democrats' proposals would still empower unelected bureaucrats to make decisions affecting life or death health-care matters. Such government overreaching is what we've come to expect from this administration," she says.
A spokesman for the Democratic National Committee sharply hit back at that claim, saying "The way Sarah Palin is trying to scare Americans you'd think it's Halloween already."
"By continuing to peddle what Pulitzer Prize winning independent fact checkers have found to be 'pants on fire' lies and doubling down on the GOP recommendation to end Medicare for future generations, the only thing that's in costume here is Sarah Palin's supposed concern for the health care of Americans," said DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan.
Palin also takes issue with the president's assertion Democrats' heath care proposals will reign in costs and eliminate the waste and inefficiency that currently characterizes the system.
Citing the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, Palin says currently proposed health care legislation will do little to bring down cost but instead cause the federal deficit to skyrocket by more than $200 billion over the next decade.
"Only in Washington could a plan that adds hundreds of billions to the deficit be hailed as a cost-cutting measure," writes Palin.
Instead, Palin argues the true solution to health care lies in "market oriented, patient-centered, and result driven" measures such as providing tax benefits for those who get health car coverage from their jobs, providing seniors on Medicare vouchers to buy their own coverage, and allowing people to buy health care insurance across state lines.
Why should anyone care what Sarah Palin says?
Is this chic for real?
Seriously stop spreading propaghanda!
Its bad enough that the right wing evangalists think that their government shouldn't try to compete with the ever so wonderful (insert sarcasm here) healthcare system that we already have in place (By the way christians, what WOULD Jesus do? Do you think he would help those who needed it, or just let them rot? I think you know the answer.) but now we have to listen to dingbats like Ms. Palin here. Please go away Sarah, you are only embarassing yourself on a daily basis.

Sooner or later, everything goes online. Music, books, newspapers, magazines, TV shows, movies, software, classified ads, restaurant menus, maps, and on and on.
It's fun to watch these industries reinvent themselves in the digital age. At first, of course, the online marketplaces are literal interpretations of the physical ones. If you want to buy music, you pay a per-song or per-album price, and you own the music files, just as though you'd bought it on a CD.
But eventually, the business plans diverge. People start to exploit what's different about online distribution. They come up with all kinds of pricing models pegged with different degrees of convenience and control.
Take music, for example: here's a sampling of the different ways you can consume it, along with the pros and cons of each.
- Internet radio. Pros: Free. Thousands upon thousands of radio stations in every conceivable genre. Cons: You don't get to specify the song or the singer. You're generally tied to your computer, or to a smartphone with a very generous data plan.
- YouTube. Pros: Just about every pop song is available for listening on YouTube—some officially (as part of a music video), some not. Free. Cons: One song at a time. Available only on computer or smartphone. Clumsy.
- Pandora radio. Pros: Free for the basic version. You can specify a band or singer you like, or even a type of song, and Pandora will create a new "station" for you that plays only that kind of music. If you don't like a certain song, you can hit Next to skip it. Cons: The free version shows ads, conks out after an hour of playing, and has other limitations.
- Satellite radio. Pros: Enormous number of stations; the music channels are ad-free. Works in your car, never fades as you drive across the country. Cons: $13 a month. You still can't specify individual songs or bands you want.
- Subscription music. Pros: You can download exactly the songs and albums you want, unlimited, for a flat monthly fee. They're on your music player or phone, so you don't need an Internet connection. Cons: You don't actually own anything. When you stop paying your $10 a month, you're left with nothing but memories.
- Pay-to-own music. Pros: You choose exactly the songs and albums you want. You own them forever. They play on any player, no Internet connection needed. Cons: The most expensive per-song option here (as much as $1.30 a track).

Sid Bernstein, the promoter who brought the Beatles to Carnegie Hall in New York City just as their fame exploded in the U.S., has died. He was 95.
Bernstein's daughter, Casey Deutsch, said her father died in his sleep Wednesday morning of natural causes.
Bernstein made the Beatles the first rock group to play at the classical Carnegie Hall and arranged their historic 1965 show at Shea Stadium, rock's first major stadium concert, which set box office records.
He also booked such top acts as Jimi Hendrix, Judy Garland and the Rolling Stones. He worked with Judy Garland, Duke Ellington and Ray Charles and promoted Dion, Bobby Darin and Chubby Checker.
Bernstein was an early backer of ABBA, setting up the Swedish group's first U.S. appearances.
He also was behind one of the first rock benefit shows, the 1970 Winter Festival for Peace, and helped revive Tony Bennett's career with a 1962 show at Carnegie Hall.
Bernstein had a studious side that led to his biggest break. He took a course on Western civilization that required students to read a British newspaper once a week. It was 1963, and the Beatles were just catching on in their native country.
"So here I am reading little stories about this group from Liverpool that is causing a lot of 'hysteria.' By the end of the course, I was so Beatle-ized by what I read, even though I did not hear a note, I said, 'gotta get 'em.'" he explained in a 2001 interview with the music publication NY Rock Confidential.
As Bernstein recalled, he couldn't get his agency interested in the group, so he handled the job himself.
The Beatles were still unknown in the U.S. and the price was cheap — $6,500 for two shows.
The timing was perfect. By February 1964, Beatlemania had crossed over to the U.S., and the band was set to play on The Ed Sullivan Show just three days before the Carnegie concerts.
In 1965, he landed the group at Shea Stadium. Some 55,000 fans lost their voices and their minds. The New York Times described the scene as meeting the "classic Greek meaning of the word pandemonium — the region of all demons."
Like so many in the music business, Bernstein was the hustling son of Jewish immigrants. He sneaked into the Apollo Theater as a boy and, while studying journalism at Columbia University, ran a ballroom that featured such Latino stars as Morales, Tito Puente and Marcelino Guera.
Over the past 20 years, Bernstein's best client became himself. He wrote two memoirs, It's Sid Bernstein Calling and Not Just the Beatles, and even recorded an album of duets.
At age 90, he started a Twitter account.
"Twitterland!" he called out in one post. "Let's all have a productive week. I have a few very interesting projects in the works and I'll reveal them very soon."
Bernstein and his wife, Geraldine, were married for more than 40 years. They had six children.

NASCAR fines Hamlin for criticizing car
Staff Writer
Journal Star
NASCAR has fined Denny Hamlin $25,000 for disparaging comments about the racing last week at Phoenix.
NASCAR said Thursday that Hamlin's actions were detrimental to stock car racing, and the sanctioning body will not tolerate publicly made comments by drivers that denigrate the racing product.
Hamlin finished third on Sunday in the second race for NASCAR's new Gen-6 race car. He was asked after how he liked the car, and said he didn't want to be a "pessimist, but it did not race as good as our generation five cars. This is more like what the generation five was at the beginning."
NASCAR has asked the drivers to be careful in how they publicly discuss the new car, which was designed to help improve the on-track product.

Lesson Ten, The Evidence of Experience part 1
Were the phenomenon of the spirit, which is non-material in all its aspects, to be made the subject of experimentation, so that its autonomous existence became fully proven, despite its remoteness from sense perception, it would have a profound effect in causing men to believe more fully in the spirit. This would be the case particularly with those who are unable to understand subtle and complex questions and who are more inclined to accept empirical scientific data than they are the truths of philosophy.
Spiritualism, the practice of communicating with the spirits of the dead, reached its highpoint in the nineteenth century when it became codified as a science. Numerous personalities throughout the world have observed the possibility of such communication, which may be counted as a living proof for the autonomy and immortality of the spirit.
Divesting themselves of all partiality and prejudice and impelled by genuinely scientific motives, a number of scholars have devoted themselves to painstaking research and study in order to discover the truth of the matter. With their achievements they have been able to demonstrate that the existence of the spirit is no longer a theoretical matter but something clear and straightforward.
Carefully executed experiments have shown that it is definitely possible to establish communication with the spirits of the dead. One may engage in conversation with them and ask their help in solving difficult problems. It often happens, indeed, that people who are utterly unable to solve the most complex problems confronting them are able to solve them through communication with the spirits of the dead.
Spirits have also been shown to possess the remarkable capacity of raising bodies from ground without the intervention of any material cause or bodily energy. (Alam-i Pas az Marg, section 11)
One of the prominent traits of those who enter a trance to communicate with the dead is that they function both as receivers and as transmitters. It may sometimes happen that while in that state they speak in languages they had never learned. They may also find themselves divulging secrets they were not in a position to know.
Still more remarkable is the fact that mediums are able while in a trance to read and to copy inscriptions on objects contained in sealed boxes, although they are quite illiterate!
In short, mediums engage in such inexplicable acts that we are obliged to follow them into the invisible realm of the spirit in our attempt to find an answer.
All we have mentioned has been proved by experiment and it constitutes a refutation of the claims of the materialists, for if the spirit were simply an effect of matter, a physicochemical property of the brain, it would be impossible to explain all these varied phenomena that have been verified experimentally.
We can escape the impasse to which materialist thought leads only when we admit the existence of a supramaterial force that creates such phenomena, for it is not conceivable that they should be the product of material factors.
Although age is not an important consideration for those who establish communication with spirits, those who enter on this path generally choose mediums from among children to receive messages from spirits. This removes the likelihood of trickery, deceit, and recourse to various contraptions, and thus puts an end to all possible objection.
At the same time, experienced and specialized researchers also take part in the sessions where contact is established with spirits. Repeated and careful experiments are carried out in order to remove any lingering doubts, to clarify all ambiguity, and to dispel any notion of autosuggestion on the part of the participants.
Although we can accept the matter under discussion as an established reality, it is like many other truths and realities exploited by those whose trade is trickery and deceit; they demean and dishonor it. One cannot therefore either trust all who claim to be able to communicate with spirits, or reject them with inappropriate arguments; both courses would be contrary to logic. It is a careful examination of the matter that will lead to a perception of the truth and the ability to distinguish the illusory from the real.
Farid Wajdi, author of the Twentieth Century Encyclopedia, lists the names of a handful of European and American scientists from among the many thousands that have worked in this field, and cites the clear evidence provided by the objective experiments they carried out. Many of them were skeptical or negative about the possibility of communicating with the spirits of the dead until it was proven to them; in fact they first entered the field with the intention of totally disproving its bases.
If someone had insisted on the possibility of proving scientifically communication with the spirits of the dead, they would have dismissed it unhesitatingly as an absurdity. But when they saw that whatever experiment was undertaken ended up supporting the claims of their opponents, they surrendered and accepted the facts. Earlier scholars had never taken the trouble to test the claims of the spiritualists, they even regarded the idea of conducting experiments on the subject with repugnance.
Farid Wajdi adds that specialists in the field believe in the principle that the spirit is not annihilated with the death of the body, because they are unable to explain the extraordinary phenomena that take place in their sessions except in terms of activity by the spirits of the dead.
Those who do not have any serious arguments to offer try to explain these experimentally tested realities in terms of the unconscious.
Can we reasonably accuse all the scholars and experts who work in the field of having been straightforwardly duped by the tricks of swindlers and of placing the seal of scientific approval on a series of delusions? Of affirming the correctness this science without exercising any caution, under the influence of the mediums?
It would be completely irrational and illogical to attribute error to all those scholars.
Alfred Russell Dulles, Darwin's partner in discovering the law of natural selection, declared his view on the matter as follows:
"When I began investigating the mysteries of communication with the spirits of the dead, I was an absolute materialist and denier of the spirit. No trace existed in my mind of non-material entities or a supranatural world. On the contrary, it was my intention to prove by scientific means the incorrectness of all belief in such things. But as I confronted the experiments that had taken place and the realities they had proven, I gradually came to believe in them myself. The reality of the spirit came to have such an effect on me that I came to believe in it firmly before I was able to find any explanation for it in my mind. I can neither turn away from it in denial nor can I find any material cause for it." (Ibid., p. 72)
Krokis, the head of the Royal Academy of Science in England, writes the following in his book entitled Spiritual Phenomena:
"Since I do indeed believe in the existence of these phenomena, it would be a kind of fear or literary cowardice if I concealed my testimony from fear of the criticism of mockers who know nothing at all of the subject and are unable to free themselves of their illusions. I will set forth in my book as clearly as I can what I have seen with my own eyes and tested repeatedly through careful experimentation."
From all the experiments that have taken place in sessions for summoning up the spirits of the dead and the conclusions scholars have drawn from them, it is plain that man possesses an energy and personality that outlive his death. That energy undertakes various activities without any need of the physical body. Under certain special circumstances it is possible for the inhabitants of this world to establish communication with the spirits of the departed.
Another scientific advance that has contributed to the understanding of the autonomy and immortality of the spirit is hypnotism. This consists of concentrating the gaze for a lengthy period of a point of light to the accompaniment of prolonged suggestion, with the result that the subject enters an artificial dream state, quite distinct from ordinary dreams.
After the subject has fallen asleep, he hears out of all sounds that surround him only those produced by the hypnotist all of whose commands he obeys in his extreme impressionability.
The English scholar James Breed was able to build on the investigations of his predecessors to turn hypnotism into a fully fledged science by clarifying the principles according to which hypnotism functions.
After him other scholars in America and Europe devoted their efforts to further developing this science; we can mention in particular Richet, Emile Kue, Van Ouls and Charcot. The most important achievement of the last of these was his classification of the different degrees and stages of hypnotic sleep.
In artificial sleep, the hypnotist is able to make the subject submit to his will in such a way that he unhesitatingly executes his commands. The senses of the sleeper cease functioning; he shows no sign of being able to see or to hear, and his senses of touch and taste lack their customary power. Finally, the one thus put to sleep is so overcome by weariness and lassitude that he feels no pain, however much pressure be brought to bear on his body. (Usul-i Ravankavi-yi Freud)
Dr. Philip Carrot, a British anesthesiologist and specialist on hypnotism, wrote the following in the British Journal of Public Health:
"Many patients needing surgery have been successfully anaesthetized through the use of hypnotism." He went on to state his belief that it is easier and better to use hypnotism on patients undergoing surgery, because it is a simpler and less dangerous procedure than drugging them. One of the advantages of hypnotism is that it is possible to keep the patient unconscious for many hours without his feeling any pain. (Ittila'at for 23/6/43)
Magnetism is another branch of knowledge pointing to the autonomy of the spirit. It consists of a mysterious force present in everyone to different degrees. Magnetism differs from hypnotism in that when a person cultivates the magnetic force within him he will be able to influence animals as well as human beings. In addition, magnetic force can be exploited directly, whereas hypnotism requires the use of certain means in order to become effective. The power of magnetism is so effective in man that it enables one to render one's prey or enemy motionless.
Since the most ancient times, people have been aware to some extent of the effects of this mysterious power. It was however at the end of the eighteenth century that it was put forward for the first time as a scientific discovery. Specialists began to use magnetic waves as a means for curing the sick, and as research progressed, it became apparent that hypnotic trances might be induced by means of magnetism.
Psychiatrists make use of artificially induced dreams to discover the causes for certain psychiatric disorders; they attempt to plunge into the depths of the mind and to discover the true thoughts of the unconscious, the thoughts that the patient would be reluctant to tell the doctor while in a waking state, out of embarrassment or other reasons. Likewise, the patient frankly confesses to certain things that he would never reveal while in a waking state.
The one sent into a trance is so fully subject to the influence of the magnetic force that he does whatever he is told by the one who puts him in the trance, without his own will having the least power to decide.
At more advanced stages, the body itself becomes totally numb, and if one of its limbs is rubbed it will be unable to move, resembling an entirely motionless body. The subject will be unable to hear sounds surrounding him; he sees and hears only the one in whose power he stands.
This passivity sometimes goes so far that he feels the pain of a needle inserted in by the one who controls his trance; and likewise if the controller begins to feel happy, so too will the subject! Other emotions anger, nervousness, excitement will be similarly reflected.
Persons in a magnetic trance are able to speak in languages they have not learned; they know of things that lie beyond the range of their knowledge; and their spirits travel to distant regions. Materialists attempt to explain all this in terms of suggestion and the loss of customary will on the part of the subject. However, their explanations are not convincing. For in addition to that which the material sciences attempt to explain there is a reality within man capable of accomplishing acts that are inexplicable in terms of material criteria. Anyone who tries to discover the truth of the matter will be led to accept this conclusion, step by step. (Farid Wajdi, Da'irah al-Ma'arif, Vol. X, p. 420)
What energy is it that can thus subdue the will of another person and rob his limbs of motion and feeling?
If man reflects carefully, will he not be convinced that his existence includes a spirit that is both mysterious and eternal? (Alam-i Pas az Marg, p. 46)
Is it not the method of science to base general laws on objective observations and to strive against delusion?
Without any doubt, every new discovery in the fields discussed above decreases still further any appeal the materialistic distorters of reality might have.
Although men have been aware of telepathy at least to some degree for a long time, no careful scientific study of the subject was undertaken before 1882. Beginning with that date, the English Society for Psychic Research has carried out numerous experiments and proven the reality of the phenomenon.
The communication of thoughts between two people is possible over both long and short distances. Communication over short distances takes place by means of the two people standing opposite each other and transmitting their thoughts to each other without speaking or making any gestures.
As for communication over a long distance and the size of the distance is of no importance at all it is enough for the two persons, at a prearranged time, to concentrate their thoughts on a single point in order to transmit their mental messages to each other.
These phenomena have been repeatedly tested and proven by specialists and they can be regarded as another remarkable manifestation of the spirit, acting in utter independence of the body.
Ought we not then to believe that the energy ruling over the mechanism of our body is fundamentally different from material energy and the phenomena it produces? As the psychiatrist Kennington puts it, "for the brain to exist and function a few centimeters outside the body is just as impossible as it would be for digestion or the circulation of the blood to take place outside the body."
Henri Bergson writes: "The phenomena declared to exist by psychic science, at least some of which must be regarded as true, cause us to ask why we have waited so long to undertake such a study.
"We will not repeat the subjects we have already discussed, but instead restrict our discussion to a point that appears more certain than anything else. If after the accumulation of thousands of testimonies consistent with each other concerning manifestations of telepathy scientists still insist on denying the reality of this phenomenon, then we can only conclude that human testimony is unacceptable to science and rejected by it.
"It is true of course that we have to choose among the various results that psychic science presents to us; that science itself does not regard all its results as equally conclusive; and that it distinguishes between what is certain and what is merely probable or possible.
"But if we take into consideration only that part which psychic science regards as definite, it suffices to give us a sense of a vast and unknown realm that psychic science has only just begun to explore. (Du Sarchishma-yi Akhlaq va Din, p. 354)

A Massachusetts resident charged in an international investigation has pleaded guilty to solicitation of child kidnapping and charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.
Geoffrey Portway, 40, a British citizen living in Worcester, pleaded guilty Monday in federal court. He could face at least 18 years in prison under an agreement with prosecutors. Sentencing is set for August.
Portway was arrested in July after investigators allegedly found child pornography and photos of children who appeared to be dead on his computer.
Authorities said he chatted online with two men who talked about their desire to abduct, kill and eat children, and investigators found equipment in his basement to carry it out.
Portway is among dozens arrested in the investigation that began with the arrest of another Massachusetts man who has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Fla. is No. 2 in lack of health insurance
FORT LAUDERDALE — Florida had the nation's second-highest rate of residents without health insurance with almost 1 out of 4 Floridians lacking it, according to new U.S. Census figures released Thursday.
Only Texas surpassed Florida's rate of 24.8 percent of residents under age 65 without health insurance in 2011, the most recent year figures are available, the Census said.
Although that figure was down slightly from 2010, when 25.3 percent of Floridians were without health insurance, the rate of uninsured residents has inched up since 2008, when just over 24 percent of Floridians were without health insurance.
The half-decade spike in uninsured residents comes as the Republican-controlled Legislature ruled earlier this year not to expand Medicaid coverage to an estimated 1.1 million low-income Floridians under the federal health law.
In an unusual alliance, Gov. Rick Scott, Senate Republicans, Democrats, Florida hospitals, health advocates and a diverse mix of business and labor groups all supported a bill that would have drawn down more than $50 billion from the federal government over the next decade and allow Floridians to purchase private insurance. But leaders in the GOP-led Florida House refused to consider that proposal, saying they didn't want to take funds tied to President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Democrats and health advocates have since held town halls around the state pushing Scott to call a special session to discuss Medicaid expansion, but Scott has said he isn't planning to call one since House leaders haven't signaled a change of heart.
House Democratic Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, warned in a statement Thursday that Republicans will play a political price for failing to expand Medicaid.
"The Legislature's failure to expand health coverage continues to punish working families and small businesses throughout Florida. Governor Scott and other Republican leaders who say they want to improve Florida's business competitiveness and image can make great headway by reducing this state's abysmally high number of uninsured," he said.
Florida's large numbers of small businesses, which currently aren't required to provide health insurance, as well as its tourism-oriented economy with large numbers of workers in service jobs have contributed to its historic high rate of the uninsured.
That will change under the Affordable Care Act, which requires business with 50 or more employees to offer coverage. But the Obama administration recently announced it would delay that provision for another year. The law also requires individuals to carry health coverage starting in 2014 or face a roughly $100 fine.
Individuals can still go online and shop for insurance on the new state exchange starting Oct 1. The new marketplaces will have the feel of an online travel site where residents can compare different private insurance plans. Consumers will be able to choose from plans that offer a range of premiums, deductibles and co-pays depending on variables such as how many doctors that a person wants included in his or her network. Residents making less than $48,000 a year will receive a federal voucher to help offset premium costs.
Anyone making below the poverty line, $11,490 for an individual or $23,550 for a family of four, won't be eligible for subsidies through the online marketplace. The law had assumed that many additional people would get coverage through an expanded Medicaid program, but the U.S. Supreme Court left that decision up to each state.
"Florida continues to have one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, especially among those who would benefit most from the state expanding Medicaid. The data continues to pile up, the only question is whether legislators will do the right thing in the next session and accept the federal dollars or continue to play politics with the health and economic security of Floridians," said Joan Alker, co-executive director of Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families in Washington, D.C.
Counties in south Florida with large numbers of farmworkers and immigrants led the state in uninsured residents. At the top of the list were Hendry County (35 percent); Miami-Dade County (34.4 percent); and Glades County (32.9 percent).
Three counties in northeast Florida had the lowest rate of uninsured residents: St. Johns County (15.4 percent); Clay County (17 percent); and Baker County (17.9 percent).

05/04/2018 Good news for Liebherr welding partnership with Smithfield High School
During a unique ribbon cutting ceremony, Smithfield High School and Liebherr Mining Equipment Newport News Co. opened a welding lab for the school's welding program. Since the program currently has growing interest from its students, Liebherr decided to contribute to the program. Liebherr donated equipment, classroom signage for the new welding lab and developed the curriculum for the high school, located in the Isle of Wight County Public School System.
Ceremonial opening of the welding lab
Cort Reiser, Liebherr executive vice president of manufacturing and warehouse logistics, commemorated the opening of the welding lab by "cutting" a steel ribbon made by Liebherr employees. Reiser began by cutting one side and then "passed the torch," to a student who finished the job. "By opening this welding lab we are creating more opportunities for our students," said Dr. Jim Thornton, superintendent of Isle of Wight County Schools.
"The grand opening of the new welding program at Smithfield High School will have a positive impact throughout our community," Ryan Wood, Liebherr Mining Equipment Newport News Co. Human Resource manager, sums up. "Not only is it a great opportunity for young adults to learn a much needed skilled trade in our local job market, but it can stimulate the interest for technical and manufacturing jobs among the students. The collaboration gives the students a better understanding of our company and the various career opportunities offered at Liebherr."
Preparing students for their future
Liebherr Mining Equipment Newport News, Co. believes in building tomorrows leaders today. For over a decade, the company has been collaborating with area schools to strengthen the welding curriculums and offer support for Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs, which prepare students for college and careers. "We at Liebherr see a huge benefit from the skills that students need to have, whether they enter the workforce after high school or continue on to college," said Reiser.
Reiser explained that Liebherr has a strong belief in supporting apprenticeship programs and
also sponsors the Skills USA competition, a local, regional and national welding competition. Liebherr designs, judges, and chairs the local level and sponsors student welders in each level of the competition. "To be a part of programs that help kids understand what they want to do and see them succeed is limitless," said Reiser. "It's about giving kids hope as they are our future."

File under: skateboard tricks
When the untamed New Jerseyan, slam poet and personal brand that is Mike Vallely parked his black novelty sportscar outside the Berrics' hallowed walls, we should have known something was up. Inviting the streetplanting hockey blogger to a technical flip-trick contest for which he was ill-suited was silly enough, and while Vallely kept a lid on his famously flaring temper throughout what looked like a pretty lighthearted affair, it stands to reason that he/his people wanted a little sugar to go with the tough flatground medicine that Chris Cole was dishing out. And so it swung onto the interwebs this weekend, the Mike Vallely "Battle Commander" section, crushing preconceived notions of skateboarding and reality itself. Sort of exactly like the iconic monster truck scene from "Road House."
These little parts have been used by marquee pros to tease "legit" video parts and test-drive new tricks, but for me at least they're generally snoozers, seeings' how it is a part filmed entirely in one skatepark (dramatic light notwithstanding). For Vallely though this is kind of the ultimate environment. It's a park for one, and the dude has filmed entire documentaries and TV miniseries in parks. Their legal nature provides him plenty of tries for the type of big jumps that get the kids on their feet, and the Berrics' malleable format gives Vallely's inner elephant plenty of room to swing its tattooed trunk and plant its broad feet here and there, as the whims of Vallely dictate. At one point they even show him drilling down a board that I thought was going to facilitate an even more huger boneless, but in a typical Mike V twist, he uses it for a drop-in (!) and leaves me confounded once more.
There are all types of amazing tricks in this part though, set off with that somersault/cartwheel into the Chris Cole-approved streetplant transfer thing. Vallely shits upon naysayers, breaking out his legendary no-handed 360 flip along with a couple other flip tricks that incorporate grabs and/or walking up a hubba ledge. Proving that he pays more attention to "new school" skating than he likes to let on, he throws in an up-the-stairs move, along with an up-rail trick with a launch-ramp assist, an obvious reference to "Storm"-era T-bone. Also he wears a vest.
Mike Vallely has been many things to many people. For instance he was once a vegetarian, a lifestyle he left behind in order to chew scenery in the Paul Blart movie. He's been called more politician than skateboarder, but what I think Mike V is, is a showman. And he figured out a while ago that he tends to perform best in controlled environments, with the possible exception of Warp Tours, where it seems like just about anything goes. Revolution Mutha music included, this really was the most entertaining Berrics segment I've watched in a long time. A few tricks over that hot rod and two solid minutes of purposeful pushing and it would've been easily the best part Mike V has filmed in the last 20 years.

DALLAS — American Airlines says passenger seats on a third flight came loose as the plane was airborne, and it's continuing to inspect other jets with similar seating.
The airline acknowledged Tuesday that seats came loose on a flight last week from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Vail, Colo. The same thing happened aboard the same plane Monday and a second plane Saturday, according to the airline.
Separately an American flight on Tuesday from Chicago to London was diverted to Shannon Airport in Ireland after a report of smoke in the cabin. An airline spokesman said it turned out to be a faulty cooling fan in an entertainment system, and the plane was expected to continue on to London Tuesday night.
The reports of smoky cabins and seats coming loose during flights raised questions about safety on the nation's third biggest airline. Aviation industry experts said publicity about the problem could make passengers stay away from American and fly on other airlines instead.
The spate of loose-seat reports prompted American to inspect eight of its Boeing 757s that share similar seat assemblies.
Airline spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said an initial review indicated that there could be a problem with the way the seats fit into tracks on the floor of the Boeing 757, but technical teams from the airline "are looking at everything."
Asked if seats had ever come loose on an American flight before last week, Huguely replied, "Not that I'm aware of."
Huguely was adamant, however, in saying that the incidents were not the result of sabotage by workers. American's union employees are unhappy about pending layoffs and cuts in pay and benefits that American has imposed since filing for bankruptcy protection in November. American accuses some pilots of conducting an illegal work slowdown that has caused a jump in canceled and delayed flights.
The problem planes were worked on by several crews in different cities. After seats came loose the first time, a crew in Vail tightened them and the plane made a return flight to Dallas. It flew to Boston later that day, where the seats were tightened again, according to American.
No further problems were noticed until a flight Monday from New York to Miami, which returned to Kennedy Airport. Another plane making a Boston-to-Miami trip on Saturday made an emergency landing in New York after a row of seats came loose in flight.
The seats on both planes had been removed and reinstalled during recent maintenance at an American Airlines maintenance base in Tulsa, Okla., and a Timco Aviation Services facility in North Carolina. In both cases American employees were the last to touch the seats, Huguely said.
A Timco spokesman declined to comment beyond saying that the company is still investigating.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it is looking into the incidents.

Presentation documents for the AAMC Group on Faculty Affairs conference later this week have been posted. I noticed in one of the presenter's PowerPoint slides several humorous images taken from the web to illustrate her points.
Adding stock images to academic presentations has become so routine that we don't think about the legality of using someone else's content. After all, what's the likelihood that the copyright holder for a movie poster will sue a professor who has co-opted it to liven up a talk?
A new book argues that academics should familiarize themselves with the legal concept of fair use. The authors warn that even if your use of licensed content is educational, it still must follow the guidelines for fair use. Judges have used two questions to determine if an appropriation counts as fair use:
- Do you employ the content for a different use than the owner created it for?
- Do you use enough of the content to achieve that new purpose?
If the answers are yes, you probably have a strong standing to claim fair use. If not, you may be violating copyright. Academics understand that all knowledge builds on existing ideas, but you still have to give credit to those who came before you.

Siemens patent snafu sees Seagate slip away
Oi, that idea ain't yours
Siemens went to the US courts to try and get Seagate to cough up patent royalties - only to be told its patents were invalid.
Siemens reckoned Seagate had infringed a group of patents it thought it owned concerned with multi-layer hard disk drive sensor technology in GMR (Giant Magneto-Resistive) read heads. Siemens claimed up to $1bn in damages, based on all Seagate hard drives shipping since 2000 using its patented technology. Subsequently this was reduced to $366m, which it calculated as a three per cent royalty on Seagate HDD sales of $12.2bn in the relevant period. The judge then restricted the damages claim to royalties on disk drive sales after November 24 2004, which amounted to $160m.
The case was held at the US District Court, Central District of California (Santa Ana), and began on November 14. Before the hearing the Judge ruled that Seagate had infringed one of Siemens's patents. During the hearing Seagate said it had leased the technology from IBM, and that this IBM technology predated the Siemens patent, constituting prior art, and therefore invalidated the Siemens patents.
Siemens' lawyers brought in physics Nobel prize winner Sheldon Glashow and an ex-Commissioner of the US Patent Office, Harry Manbeck, to strengthen their case that the patents were valid and should be enforced. Glashow has worked in the electroweak and charmed quark areas of physics and not directly with GMR read head technology.
Seagate's lawyers arranged for Stuart Parkin, the IBM engineer who invented the GMR elements at issue, to provide a videotape testimony to the court. The IBM technology used six layers, including a stabilizing one. The Siemens patents referred to just five layers, not including IBM's stabilizing layer.
David Gross, lead counsel of the law firm hired by Seagate, told the court that Siemens did not tell the US Patent and Technology Office of two papers published by one of the IBM inventors of the technology that predated its patent application by two years. Therefore the ideas Siemens was trying to patent didn't constitute new inventions, and the patents were wrongly given to Siemens.
The court agreed, via a jury decision, that the Siemens patents were invalid and Seagate wasn't liable to pay Siemens a cent. Siemens may yet appeal the decision.
Meanwhile, Seagate is suing SSD maker STEC for patent infringement. With the company having seen off Siemens, its lawyers may now be licking their lips. ®

Search more than 3,000 biographies of contemporary and classic poets.
Born in Kansas, Keith Waldrop served in the United States military and in 1954, he met his wife, the poet and translator Rosmarie Waldrop while stationed in Kitzingen, Germany. He studied at Aix-Marseille and Michigan Universities, earning a PhD in comparative literature in 1964. His first book of poetry, A Windmill Near Calvary (University of Michigan, 1968), was nominated for a National Book Award.
He is the author of numerous collections of poetry, most recently Selected Poems (Omnidawn, 2016); Several Gravities (Siglio, 2009), a collection of collages; Transcendental Studies (University of California Press, 2009), a trilogy of collage poems which won the National Book Award for Poetry; and a translation of Charles Baudelaire's Paris Spleen (Wesleyan, 2009). His other work includes The Real Subject: Queries and Conjectures of Jacob Delafon: With Sample Poems (Omnidawn, 2004). His other collections of poetry include The House Seen from Nowhere (Litmus, 2002), Well Well Reality (Omnidawn, 1998, with Rosmarie Waldrop), and the trilogy The Locality Principle (Avec Books, 1995), The Silhouette of the Bridge (Avec Books, 1997), which won the Americas Award for Poetry, and Semiramis, If I Remember (Avec Books, 2001).
He has translated several contemporary French poets, such as Anne-Marie Albiach, Claude Royet-Journoud, Dominique Fourcade, Jean Grosjean, and Paol Keineg. In 2006, he completed a translation of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal (Wesleyen University Press).
According to Waldrop, collage is a major mode of composition for him. He explains the process as: "a way to explore, not necessarily the thing I am tearing up, but the thing I am contriving to build out of torn pieces. To the extent that there is a purpose to what I do, its end is the 'enjoyment of a composition'—a concern, as A. N. Whitehead notes, common to aesthetics and logic."
About his work, the poet Michael Palmer has said, "As we would expect from Keith Waldrop, it is suffused with a particular humanity and an appreciation for the absurd, even the grotesque, in daily life. The rhythmic apposition of prose and poetry brings to mind the freedom, alertness and quality of distillation in Basho's classic travel sketches. With his quietly precise sense of modulation and his unerring gaze, Waldrop remains one of the vital and requisite, semi-secret presences in American letters."
Waldrop has received an award from the Fund for Poetry, fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Berlin Artists Program of the DAAD. In 2000, he received a Medal from the French government with rank of Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters, for lifetime contribution to French literature.
He currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he teaches at Brown University, and has served as co-editor of Burning Deck Press, with his wife Rosmarie Waldrop since 1968.

A lot of important questions come up at Thanksgiving: turkey brining, pro or con; cornbread stuffing, yes or no; and whether or not that stuffing should be baked in that turkey. (If you answered pro brined turkey to the first question, the answer to the last question is no.)
But now that airport food has improved so drastically, the most relevant question might be: Is anyone even hungry for Thanksgiving dinner, after they pigged out so much at the terminal?
I asked my very favorite frequent flier, Andrew Zimmern, who travels the world for his show "Bizarre Foods" on the Travel Channel, for his favorite dining spots in airports. He obliged by giving me his favorite places to eat in 12 airports around the country. From now on, I'm booking all my flights with stopovers in Minneapolis.
For more great intel from Zimmern, check out andrewzimmern.com. Now, take it away, A.Z.!
The TSA won't swipe your pie – but will they take the cake?

There is also MinniBar from Andrew Zimmern, which makes the best airport sandwiches in America. But I am biased.

People Can Emit Flu Germs in Air Up to 6 Feet Away, Study Finds
Study: People Emit Flu Germs Up to 6 Feet Away
WebMD News from HealthDay
THURSDAY, Jan. 31 (HealthDay News) — People suffering from the flu can give off small virus particles into the air at greater distances than previously thought, putting the health care workers who treat these patients at increased risk for getting the virus themselves, researchers report.
The investigators, from Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina, suggest that more studies are needed on how the flu is spread. Infection-control guidelines for health care providers may also need to be updated to help these workers protect their health.
The study was published in the current edition of the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
"Our study offers new evidence of the natural emission of influenza and may provide a better understanding of how to best protect health care providers during routine care activities," the researchers, led by Dr. Werner Bischoff, wrote in the report.
For the study, Bischoff's team screened 94 patients with flu symptoms who were admitted to the emergency department or inpatient care unit of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center during the 2010-2011 flu season. Health care providers at this hospital are required to get a flu shot, the researchers pointed out in a Wake Forest news release.
The investigators also collected air samples within one foot, three feet and six feet of the patients screened. As the air samples were taken, no aerosol-generating procedures — such as bronchoscopy, intubation or CPR — were performed. The researchers also recorded the number of times the patients coughed or sneezed and rated the severity of these symptoms. The patients also answered questions about their condition and how long they had been sick.
The study authors found that 65 percent of the patients tested positive for the flu. Of these people, 43 percent released particles containing the virus into the air. Those who emitted the highest levels of the flu virus into the air reported having the worst flu-like symptoms. These patients also had the highest viral loads in their collected samples.
Most of the flu virus found in the air samples was contained in small particles up to six feet away from the infected patients. Although concentrations of the virus decreased with distance, the researchers noted that at this range health care providers may still be exposed to infectious dosages of the flu.

Study: People Emit Flu Germs Up to 6 Feet Away
Bischoff and colleagues also said that some patients were what they called "super emitters," and gave off up to 32 times more virus than the other patients. These people, they concluded, may be more likely to pass the flu on to others.
Dr. Caroline Breese Hall, from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, N.Y., pointed out in an accompanying journal editorial that the findings "question the traditional belief that influenza is primarily spread by close contact with an infected person or by direct contact with infectious secretions."
And Dr. William Schaffner, chair of the department of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, also commented on the study. "Influenza vaccination, although not perfect, is the best tool we have to protect health care workers — and their patients — from influenza illness," he said in the news release. Schaffner was not involved with the study.

The current noise over raised by Bob Costas the other night concerning this nation's fascination with guns is most remarkable in and of itself as a window into the rest of our national dialogue. What Costas said, and he was seconding columnist Jason Whitlock when he did so, was that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher to kill his girlfriend and himself last Saturday had firearms not been made so easily available in this country, and had not the country allowed itself to become so easily convinced that the current level of gun violence is at worst an unfortunate collateral effect of our experiment in human freedom. That what Costas said is reckoned to be brave — and it was, especially judging it set off on — is a measure of how truncated our national discussion has become. How have we gone so far off the trolley on this issue — how far has the unremarkable become the remarkable? — that a sportscaster can allude to the possibilities of sensible gun-control on a pre-game show more extensively than did either of the presidential candidates in any of their debates?
the unremarkable pointsmight not have found it so easyby the hysteriathe gun-happy right
Consider, for example, the remarks of Mike Huckabee, the de-bloated god-bothering whackaloon who is occasionally mistaken for a nice guy.
"Fortunately for I think, America, a lot of people started weighing in on it, first of all pointing out they didn't tune in to watch a football game to get Bob Costas's political commentary. If they wanted to hear left-wing political comments, they'd watch MSNBC, not NBC NFL football."
To Huckabee, political reporters report politics and sports reporters report sports, and never the twain. (Piss off, says I, by the way.) Strange, too, but I don't hear Huckabee complaining when right-wing politics intrude on my enjoyment of watching a football game, or when every damn major sporting event, but especially the Super Bowl, turns into an infomercial for America's military adventures abroad. But more significantly, I'm intrigued that even a brief allusion to the possibility of talking about sensible gun-control belongs solely in the category of "left-wing" political comments on the "left-wing" network (that nonetheless has former Clinton penis-chaser Joe Scarborough as its morning host for three hours every day.?
Ever since the Powell memo set out the template for the rise of the modern infrastructure of the organized Right, one of that infrastructure's great triumphs has been to channel what is perceived to be the acceptable national political dialogue ever to starboard, and to truncate severely the notion of what is an acceptable political idea — even going so far as to eliminate those ideas that already had been deemed acceptable for years, or even decades, as being too "left-wing" for this modern world in which we live in, to quote Sir Paul McCartney in one of his weaker moments. Hence, we end up with what we have today. We have an argument over whether or not to raise the top marginal tax rate into the low 30's, and any proposal to raise it higher — to eliminate the Reagan tax cuts, let alone the Bush tax cuts — is considered fantastical. The debate is over how much to cut entitlements, not truly how to strengthen them. The debate was over how to fashion a health-care plan that kept the insurance companies profitable and in the game, despite the fact the rest of the industrialized world thinks we're insane for doing so at all. There is no serious proposal out there to deal with the Environmental Cliff, which happens to be located in Antarctica, is made of ice, and is cracking off and falling into the sea as we speak. Like gun control, climate change didn't come up in the debates much, either.
A lot of this falls on us. We can be better informed. We can stop believing in nonsense. We can be a more active citizenry. We can choose not to accept the limited parameters of our national debates by turning off the commentators who seek to reinforce them, and by turfing out the politicians who choose to work only within them. We can demand a better range of options. We can demand that obvious problems be confronted, and that real solutions to them be proposed. (Where is the outcry for a national policy on climate change from the drought-ravaged states of the west and the south?) We can demand a political imagination greater than the one currently evinced by our political elites, or we can tell them that we're changing them out for better elites. And maybe then Bob Costas won't be a hero for free speech but, rather, just another nice guy who's making sense.

manuals.plus is a collection of user manuals, instruction guides, data-sheets, and specifications for electronics products. We are adding new manuals to our collection daily, making an easily searchable database of electronics resources.
Typically, reference sheets for devices contain specifications, reset instructions, and basic usage help. Some instructions expand on this further to provide repair and maintenance tips, others may be a reduced set of 'quick start tips' – essential things you need to know to get up and running with a device.
User manuals are traditionally provided in a PDF format, but this format can be difficult to use on a mobile device or with a low-bandwidth connection. Manuals.plus tediously transcribes many of these PDF documents into regular web-pages so that users can better read them on their device of choice. This makes many documents more screen-reader accessible and searchable vs the traditional format. In addition to the transcribed post, you will also find a link to the original file at the bottom of each post under 'references' – these can be downloaded for later and opened with your favorite web-browser or PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat.

Doors 7PM | Show 8PM | Limited tickets at door!
"Tinder LIVE! is truly addictive entertainment…[it's] ingenious. Moore transforms the banter on a dating app into compelling long-form improvisation. Ms. Moore, a cagey and humane performer, has developed an instinct for turning the raw materials of sexually charged chat with ordinary strangers into honed and generous jokes. "Tinder Live" has a comic momentum and energy that is unusual. The way she manipulates tone and pace reveals an artist supremely confident in her form, not to mention a flirt par excellence." — The New York Times.
Tinder Live has been named one of the best comedy shows in NYC for good reason. Produced and hosted by comedian Lane Moore (The Onion, HBO's GIRLS, Brooklyn Magazine's "50 Funniest People In Brooklyn," former Cosmopolitan Magazine sex & relationships editor), Tinder Live is a totally improvised, anything-can-happen interactive comedy showstopper with helpful and oftentimes ridiculous Tinder tips, tricks, real-time swiping, and messaging (and sometimes even real-time phone calls with Tinder matches)! You'll relate to Moore's live-swiping and laugh at her reactions and find inspiration in her ridiculous, random emoji-filled messages (and sometimes even phone calls!) to would-be suitors. It's also a great show to attend with a date, Tinder or otherwise. If you've ever been on an online dating site (or a bad date in general), you need to see this show.
The New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, and Village Voice, have listed the show as one of the best comedy shows in NYC. Brightest Young Things called it "the greatest show on earth," and CBS called it one of the Best Comedy Shows in NYC, saying, "Moore's commentary will make you cry laughing as she randomly sends texts messages to those that peak her interest. It's seriously funny."
The show has also been praised as one of the best comedy shows out there by The Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, The Guardian, Fast Company, VICE, Vulture, Hello Giggles, Gothamist, Germany's Süddeutsche Zeitung, Brooklyn Paper, Bustle, Metro UK, Paper Magazine, New York Observer, Flavorpill, Brokelyn, Brightest Young Things, Brokelyn, Brooklyn Magazine, and Brooklyn Vegan.

The Farr Side: Lady Antebellum has staying power
Lady Antebellum is the band of the land right now.
The country trio's latest album, "Need You Now," is huge. So far, it's the biggest album of 2010 and the title track has crossed over into mainstream pop, heading toward No. 1.
I haven't been this excited about a country act since the Dixie Chicks busted out with "Wide Open Spaces" in 1998. This is another band destined for bigger and better things. Vocalists Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott and guitarist Dave Haywood are good. Their performance of "Need You Now" at the Grammys was one of the best of the night.
Hillary Scott's mother is country singer Linda Davis, who in 1994 won a Grammy for her duet of "Does He Love You" with Reba McEntire.
I had the luxury of meeting Davis in 1998. I never dreamed that her preteen daughter, running around the record store in Huntington, Ind., would grow up to follow in her mother's footsteps. Scott and her fellow band members took home the Grammy a few weeks back for the third hit single, "I Run To You," from their multiplatinum self-titled debut album.
It appears the band has been a much-deserved roll, too. In November, Lady Antebellum did the unthinkable, at least to Rascal Flatts fans, dethroning country's golden boys to take home the CMA for Group of the Year.
I was so happy to see them win something for the great work they had achieved, but maybe even more so for the fact they were recognized over Rascal Flatts and Sugarland.
"Need You Now," the single, has already topped the country singles chart, but now it's a massive pop hit, at No. 2 on Billboard. I'd bet their performance on the Grammys triggered the interest, which may have also led to the album debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 200, a feat not often achieved by a country artist.
I've liked this band since the onset, but my interest has grown. I was eager to hear the new material and to see just where this group might be going.
"Need You Now" opens the 11-track set, which was cause to crank up the stereo volume. "Our Kind Of Love" followed, and my volume level stayed put. I liked what I was hearing. "American Honey" came next and it was an obvious choice for the trio's next single. This is definitely a band to watch.
Other songs worth a shot include "Ready To Love Again," "Love This Pain," "When You Got A Good Thing," and "Stars Tonight" – or as I'll say… "stars tonight, tomorrow and the next day.
Lady Antebellum is going to be around for a long time.

text: This course presents an overview of the major domains of abnormal psychology. The course is made up of 5 modules, the first of which provides an introduction to the field through discussions of the concept of psychological abnormality, assessment and classification, and the major models in use for understanding psychological abnormality. The remaining four modules provide overviews of major domains of abnormal psychology, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, stress and trauma-related disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Lectures within each of these modules address symptoms and behaviors, epidemiology, causal theories, treatment interventions and multicultural findings and considerations. The course also seeks to assist participants with becoming more adept at noticing when a family member, friend, or colleague may be experiencing psychological distress, as well as develop the comfort level required for initiating an empathic, compassionate conversation with a person of concern. Toward this goal, the last lecture of each module is dedicated to the topic "Foundations of Empathy." This course is not designed to assist participants with resolving their own experiences of psychopathology, nor it is intended to prepare participants to act as psychotherapists for distressed individuals in their personal lives.
