Replacing a turntable stylus can work magic An upgrade to my turntable stylus rendered previously unplayable records miraculously well again. Arthur C. Clarke is credited with saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, but when it comes to music, the older gear is more miraculous--and mysterious--to me. MP3 players are just special-purpose hard drives or memory sticks, Pandora and other online radio services are just twists on the streaming audio sites that first emerged in the early Web days, and every online tool for musicians simply takes an old task-- recording, CD manufacturing, distribution--and moves it to the Web, gaining various efficiencies along the way. Even digital audio workstations like ProTools and Cubase are somewhat intuitive to a longtime computer user. It's a miracle: the Goldring 1022GX. But a turntable involves actual mechanical and electrical engineering, and, despite being a longtime vinyl buff, I find the technology remains an absolute mystery

Aleutian kayak From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Baidarka) Jump to: navigation, search Aleut men in Unalaska in 1896, with waterproof kayak gear and garments Three hatch model Aleut baidarka, by Sergie Sovoroff. Wooden frame of 1/6th scale model Iqyax. The Baidarka or Aleutian kayak was the watercraft created by the native Aleut (or Unangan) people of the Aleutian Islands. The Aleut people were surrounded by treacherous waters and required water transportation and a hunting vessel. Due to the geography and climate of the Aleutian Islands, trees and wood were in scarce supply and the people relied primarily on driftwood to create the framework of the kayak, which was covered with the skins of sea mammals. Two types of boats were created, one with a covered deck, the hunting kayak and another that was open and capable of carrying goods and people from one island to another. Baidarka is the Russian name used for Aleutian style sea kayak. The ancient Unangan name is Iqyax. The word has

Saturday, July 31, 2010 Last Call Just a reminder what's at stake in November.  It's not just the House.  Nate Silver's latest Senate Rankings: If Nate's right, the Republicans picking up 9 Senate seats is conceivable and that would leave Charlie Crist as the the man who decides who's in control of the Senate. Or hey, Ben Nelson. Or Joe Lieberman. Just saying. A lot of noise has been made about the GOP retaking the House, but the Senate is in play at this point. It's not likely, but it's in play. Upping The Ante By Calling Anti-Semitism David Cameron and his UK government are learning what American lawmakers have known for decades:  anything less than full- throated support for Israel's policies will eventually lead to Israeli charges of anti-Semitism.  What, you thought Cameron was going to be allowed to point out the ridiculousness of the collective punishment in Gaza?

This is Jeff Driggs' first time directing at the OBT. His history with the company includes acting in a 2008 show and as assistant director at Phantom of the OBT earlier this year. The play follows three friends. Well, really two friends and one patsy. Charlie and Jack ask Lord Fancourt "Babs" Babberly to play the role of Charlie's aunt, Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, while they court the loves of their lives. Things get crazy when Jack's dad and the father of one of the young maidens try to court Babs, and then the real Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez shows up! Actors change nightly, so we can't write about all of them. We're sure the cast we didn't see are equally talented, and the show will be good any night. Unlike many OBT plays, the majority of jokes have nothing to do with Utah culture. So feel free to bring out-of-state friends. They will get it. It's light on hilarity to start, but once Babs (Rusty Bringhurst) comes out of his dressing room as Donna Lucia, the place explodes in laughter and continues to peri

Magazine Links What Is Hinduism? Join the Conversation Magazine Web Edition > February 1990 > Violence is Not Hindu Dharma Violence is Not Hindu Dharma I was in India during the election time. People asked me about the Ramjanmabhoomi controversy in Ayodhya. My feeling is that Hindus should be a little more tolerant and not demand and use violence in getting the place back. If it really comes to it, the Hindus could be more generous. The Muslims seem to be loving Rama so much. That's why they want to put their mosque right over the birthplace, because they feel it is a more holy place. So Hindus could be more generous and say, "Yes, all right. We are friends. You seem to be interested in that place, because you seem to love as much as we do. OK, take it. Rama will be happy to accommodate you. We will request Rama to be present in some other place. Not even nearby. There is no need." Wherever we pray, Rama will come. We seem to be sticking with geographical places, as if in the other places Rama is not avail

Vial Stoppers That Won't Stop Clumping Sep 21, 2011 By Pharmaceutical Technology Editors Untitled Document Q: In our manufacturing process, we are running into issues with our vial stoppers clumping in the feeder bowl. How can we ensure that the stoppers go through smoothly without clumping up? A: Clumping can result from various issues. The design of lyophilization stoppers can lead to twinning, a condition where the closures’ legs interlock and remain that way during processing. Autoclaving in an inappropriate container or in a container that holds closures too tightly may also result in twinning. Inconsistent siliconization and overprocessing can lead to clumping. If stoppers are autoclaved or dried too long, excessive heat may break down the elastomer. The result is a bowl full of tacky stoppers. When clumping occurs, manufacturers must first examine the type of stopper they use. It may be time to move to a newer product, such as ready-to-use or ready-to-sterilize stoppers. Suppliers of these componen

Guild:Emerald Dreamers (Staghelm US) 99,207pages on this wiki This article is a guild information page for Emerald Dreamers of Staghelm US. Emerald Dreamers was originally intended as a mostly druid Horde guild, to allow druids to break free of the 'STFUhaelz lol' stigma. With the release of the expansion, this became much less necessary, and it was basically opened to friends and friends of friends. Overview Edit The guild was formed on Staghelm, shortly before the expansion was released, when the Head Treehugger became disgusted with the micromanagement of the raid guild it was his misfortune to get into. Its main intention was to allow a druid to be a druid, instead of a healer, whether they wanted to be Moonkin, bear, ZOMGKITTIESMEWMEWMEW or even a healer. This is not a guild where one can use the phrase "holding the guild back" and mean it. Be what you are, what makes you happy to play, and we will work around that.

Variability of particulate seawater properties related to bottom mixed layer-associated internal waves in shallow water on a time scale of hours Turnewitsch, Robert, Gerhard Graf Limnol. Oceanogr., 48(3), 2003, 1254-1264 | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2003.48.3.1254 ABSTRACT: To obtain information on relations between internal wave-controlled hydrographic variability in bottom mixed layers (BMLs) and particle- associated BML parameters, depth distributions of density, relative turbidity, relative chlorophyll a (Chl a), relative phycoerythrin fluorescence (Phyco), total particulate matter (TPM), particulate carbon (PC), and particulate nitrogen (PN) were obtained at a shallow-water site in the southwestern Baltic Sea in July 2001 in the course of a temporally highly resolved 1-d time series. The density distribution showed evidence for a BML and undulations of BML thickness probably caused by near- inertial internal waves. Relative pigment fluorescence in the BML and in the layer above the BML was inversely coupled and re

The Hydrologic Cycle The basic hydrologic (or water) cycleThe hydrologic cycle involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-Atmosphere system. At its core, the water cycle is the motion of the water from the ground to the atmosphere and back again. Of the many processes involved in the hydrologic cycle, the most important are... • evaporation • transpiration • condensation • precipitation • runoff Evaporation is the change of state in a substance from a liquid to a gas. In meteorology, the substance we are concerned about the most is water. For evaporation to take place, energy is required. The energy can come from any source: the sun, the atmosphere, the earth, or objects on the earth such as humans. Everyone has experienced evaporation personally. When the body heats up due to the air temperature or through exercise, the body sweats, secreting water onto the skin. The purpose is to cause the body to use its heat to evaporate the liquid, thereby removing heat and cooling the body

Woman Charged With Murder in Anchorage Shooting by Your Alaska Link News Team ANCHORAGE, Alaska- Anchorage police say they have arrested a 27-year-old woman and charged her with a man's fatal shooting. According to investigators, Bonnie Degenstein called 911 Friday night to report that she and 24 year old Ryan Tamborrino had been drinking and playing with a gun inside a residence on West 54th Avenue when she accidentally shot him. Police arrived and found Tamborrino dead. They initially reported that he had been shot multiple times, but later corrected that to say he was only shot once. Multiple guns were found at the residence. Degenstein was arraigned Saturday in Anchorage and charged with second-degree murder.

Israel confirms one of its helicopters was shot down by Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon. No details on casualties though yet. Israel also says it lost seven soldiers today in fighting on the ground. The Lebanese cabinet has thrown its support behind the U.N. resolution that is meant to bring an end to the fighting. Israeli officials will talk (ph) about the measure tomorrow. They've already said they do expect to halt military operations on Monday. Two more American soldiers killed today in Iraq. The military says they were on a foot patrol south of Baghdad when a roadside bomb went off. British police raid some Internet cafes as part of their probe into the alleged airline terror plot.

JakeJanovetz-webField-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are the most flexible and capable devices available to interface to a large variety of system devices such as memories, data acquisition (ADC/DAC), image sensors, displays, and so on.  Often, the goal is to interface these system devices to a software infrastructure running on a workstation platform using a Windows, Linux or Mac operating system.   The ubiquitous PC, with its myriad of software development environments, comfortable presence, and low-cost, should be the ultimate microprocessor development platform but it has generally been ill-suited to the intimate hardware development scene. This is largely due to the layers of operating system between the application software and the device pins a developer wishes to "wiggle."  Development engineers in commercial design and academic research have found a way to bring these two worlds together fortuitously with USB-based FPGA modules, designed to bridge the gap between hardware and software worlds.

Edit Article If you want to play well in dodgeball, just follow these steps. The most important thing, of course, is to practice! 1. 1 Stay behind and let your teammates get the balls, unless you're really fast. If nobody on your team is fast, then let the other team get the balls and just stay back and try to dodge and catch. If you and your team do get them, then roll the extras back to your side so the enemy won't get them. 2. 2 Once you get a ball, hold on to it until the other team's best players have thrown theirs, then go up and throw it at some of the people who are not as good. Get the average throwers out first so there are less distractions. If you are a bad thrower, just catch them as they get thrown at you. 3. 3 While getting ready to throw, stay crouched low to the ground and start to sort of gallop towards the line that divides the two sides. This will help you gain power for the throw. If they throw a ball at you while going towards the middle line, crouching and running

Sherwood Schwartz embraces actresses Florence Henderson of 'The Brady Bunch,' left, and Dawn Wells of 'Gilligan's Island' during a ceremony where he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2008. Associated Press Sherwood Schwartz created "Gilligan's Island" and "The Brady Bunch," wacky television shows that drew generations of loyal viewers—and heaps of critical derision. Mr. Schwartz, who died Tuesday at age 94, wrote and produced both shows, which have gone on to be broadcast world-wide. Surprisingly for shows that have performed so well in syndication, neither "The Brady Bunch" nor "Gilligan's Island" was a blockbuster on first run. But audiences grew as repeats multiplied, and the shows' introductory theme songs have become cultural tropes. Each laid out the set-ups and characters—because, Mr. Schwartz told the writer Merrill Markoe, "Puzzled people cannot laugh." Mr. Schwartz co-wrote the sea shanty, "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island." "Both shows are pervasive," Mr. Schwartz told the Los An

• Register Forgot Password Leaving Community Cep97 and CP110 suppress a cilia assembly program. Mammalian centrioles play a dynamic role in centrosome function, but they also have the capacity to nucleate the assembly of cilia. Although controls must exist to specify these different fates, the key regulators remain largely undefined. We have purified complexes associated with CP110, a protein that plays an essential role in centrosome duplication and cytokinesis, and have identified a previously uncharacterized protein, Cep97, that recruits CP110 to centrosomes. Depletion of Cep97 or expression of dominant- negative mutants results in CP110 disappearance from centrosomes, spindle defects, and polyploidy. Remarkably, loss of Cep97 or CP110 promotes primary cilia formation in growing cells, and enforced expression of CP110 in quiescent cells suppresses their ability to assemble cilia, suggesting that Cep97 and CP110 collaborate to inhibit a ciliogenesis program. Identification of Cep97 and other genes inv

The information should help you understand more about current techniques in circle track engines or, if you purchase your engines, is intended to make you a more educated buyer. When planning a build, the first place to start is a careful review of the rules you'll face. You need to understand what is permitted in the class you'll be competing in. It is also important to evaluate what the engine will be required to do. Answers to the following questions will help guide you:1. On average, what is the minimum engine speed where wide open throttle (WOT) occurs? 2. What is the minimum WOT engine speed under worst possible cases (slippery track, ill-handling car, hot humid air with low barometric pressure)? 3. On average, what is the maximum engine speed? 4. What is the maximum speed (rpm) the en

Catalog Search: PCB6335C: Estuarine Ecology 4 Prerequisite:  Graduate status, PCB 3043C or equivalent Estuarine ecology involves an examination of the unique physical, chemical, & biological interactions within estuaries, emphasizing energy flow and nutrient cycles. The lecture portion of this course consists of two parts, a brief general introduction and overview followed by forays into specific areas of Estuarine Ecology. The introduction portion of the course is designed to bring graduate students with diverse backgrounds to the same point by the end of the semester with respect to basic Geological, Biological, Chemical, and Ecological principles relating to estuaries. The remainder of the course will examine specialized topics which are of current interest or which have played important roles in the development of the field. Students will be introduced to these advanced topics through guest lectures, scientific papers and field work. (A laboratory fee of $51.93 will be assessed.)

Wednesday, August 7, 2013 I had an encounter recently with my housemate, that sheds a little light on the way I am perceived by people, especially by those who have no idea about my CFS, and the strange in-between world that my condition forces me to live in. I have already written a little about this before here. A brief word here about my living arrangements. I live in a shared semi-detached house in an estate on the edge of a medium sized town. There are three bedrooms in the house, though only two are now occupied, so I basically share with a woman in her forties from an African country who has been in Ireland about four years. Let's call her K. K was here when I moved in, about eighteen months ago. K and I had an argument about the electricity bill last week, a common enough occurrence I imagine for people who share a living space and who have communal bills. She has a thing about the immersion water heater, and doesn't like anyone to have it on for longer than fifteen minutes. From my perspective sh

RSS Feeds Beppe Grillo's protest group wins Italian hearts Friday - 3/1/2013, 3:43pm  ET FILE - In this Feb. 24, 2013 file picture German politician Peer Steinbrueck speaks to the media in Berlin, Germany. The German opposition leader's comment that &quot;two clowns&quot; won Italy's election has led the Italian president to cancel a meeting with him. Peer Steinbrueck is Chancellor Angela Merkel's challenger for the top job in Germany's September election. In discussing the Italian vote, he said Tuesday Feb. 26, 2013 that he was &quot;appalled to a certain point that two clowns won.&quot; That was an apparent reference to comic-turned-politician Beppe Grillo, whose anti- establishment 5 Star Movement performed strongly, and scandal- scarred former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, whose center-right coalition did better than expected. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano is visiting Germany and was due to meet with Steinbrueck, but Steinbrueck spokesman Michael Donnermeyer said Napolitano called off the meeting bec

Reseña de álbum Cripple Crow marks a departure for Devendra Banhart. It's obvious from the faux Sgt. Pepper-meets-Incredible String Band freak scene cover photo that something is afoot. The disc is Banhart's first foray from Michael Gira's Young God label, and it's more adventurous than anything he's done before. This is not to imply that the set is a slick, over-produced affair, but it is a significant change. The instrumental, stylistic, and textural range on this 23-song set is considerably wider than it's been in the past. Working with Noah Georgeson and Thom Monahan, a backing band of friends known as "the Hairy Fairies", Banhart's crafted something expansive, colorful, and perhaps even accessible to a wider ar

A new microscope called the Multi-View SPIM, or MuVi-SPIM for short, is allowing scientists to take unprecedented images of rapid biological processes, at a level of detail we've never seen before. And to show off the power of this new microscope, the developers have released an incredible time-lapse video of a fruit fly embryo undergoing development. To capture this video, the new microscope shines a thin sheet of light on the embryo, illuminating one layer of the sample at a time, to obtain an image of the whole sample with minimal light-induced damage. MuVi-SPIM builds upon the Selective-Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) technology developed at EMBL a few years ago. But unlike SPIM, the new microscope takes four full images from different angles, eliminating the need to rotate the sample. This results in faster imaging and the ability to merge the four images into a single high-quality three-dimensional image - something that's never been done before. Astonishing Time-Lapse Video of a Fruit Fly Embryo

Export Contents Suppose, you are editing a PSD file created in Photoshop and need to edit a smart object it contains. Since the "Edit Smart Object" command can't do this, you will need a workaround. 1. Select the smart object in the Layers panel. 2. In the Effects panel, double-click the "Export Contents" thumbnail. 3. In the "Save" dialog that opens, choose a destination folder, file name (let it be "sample.psd") and click "Save". So, you have saved the smart object's contents as a separate PSD file. 4. Now open the exported file "sample.psd" (File > Open), edit it as needed and save the file (File > Save). 5. Choose the initial document, the "sample.psd" has been exported from. 6. Make sure that the smart object is selected in the Layers palette and apply the "Replace Contents" effect. 7. In the "Place" dialog that appears, browse to the "sample.psd" file and click "Place". Thus we have replaced the original smart object with a modified copy. Previous Next Exporting smart object

Net Neutrality vs. Net Neutering The fight for Net Neutrality is for the place we call the Net. The fight against Net Neutrality is for a neutered Net biased toward carrying the next form of Cable TV. But what about the fact that most of us never have experienced Neutrality in the first place? An earlier version of this article was presented in Doc's March 2, 2006, SuitWatch newsletter. Click to subscriber to SuitWatch. It's time to define the Internet. We haven't done that yet--certainly not in a way that allows lawmakers and regulators to operate from the same set of assumptions that we do--"we" being the Net- savvy techies of the world. As I pointed out last November in "Saving the Net: How to Keep the Carriers from Flushing the Net Down the Tubes" , carriers subordinate the Net to the pipes that carry it, which they own. To them the Net is a container cargo system for the stuff we call "content", and it's subject to whatever traffic control regime they wish to impose on it. That includes tiered service

Friday, December 17, 2004 Beacon No. 16: Hold the Smallpox, I'll Take the Flu Hard power is the application of military force. No other nation dares resist the U.S. in a stand-up fight, everyone says, for fear of bringing destruction down on their own heads. For terrorists, large-scale sabotage will backfire, too: It was simple for U.S. investigators to trace the September 11 hijackers back to Al-Qa'ida, Usama bin Ladin and Afghanistan, and quickly destroy the Taliban regime. So this leaves terrorists, so far denied weapons of mass destruction, to issue tape recordings from caves and perpetrate one-off bombings. Doesn't it? About 25 years ago, science-fiction author Frederik Pohl wrote about intermediate steps between combat and influence in The Cool War. In it, a Unitarian minister named Hornswell "Horny" Hake is shanghaied into helping a CIA successor called The Team to conduct something with elements of sabotage and propaganda, but smaller than war. Here, a Team member tells Hake how the world really w

There's a reason that steaks are one of the most popular cuts of meat. No other type of meat offers the flavor and juiciness of a prime cut of beef. And it's expensive. That’s why it's critical to grill it to your desired doneness...no more no less. Whether you like your steak well done, rare or anywhere in between, a few simple steps will get you to steak perfection. Choosing a Grill Temperature Ask 10 ceramic grill owners for the temperature they use to grill steaks and you'll likely get 10 different answers. The reality is that you can grill a steak as low as 300°F or as high as 800°F. You will get more “blackening” or charring by searing the meat at higher temperatures. I prefer 500°F for grilling steaks, because it gives me a bit of blackening like a fine steak restaurant. If you are new to

Ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. Sentenced to 2.5 Years in Prison His wife, Sandra, was sentenced to one year in prison for filing false tax returns. Posted: 08/14/2013 01:00 PM EDT Former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 30 months in prison, followed by 36 months of supervised release, after pleading guilty to the misuse of $750,000 in campaign funds. His wife Sandi, a former Chicago alderman, received a one-year sentence and a period of supervised release for an additional year. "The fall from grace is complete for my client," attorney Reid Weingarten told reporters after a nearly five-hour sentencing hearing. "Jesse Jackson went from an enormously respected, charismatic long-term member of Congress to a convicted felon who's about to be incarcerated. So it's a day of deep sadness." Weingarten pronounced the sentence rendered as fair and applauded Judge Amy Berman Jackson for being extraordinarily thoughtful during every aspect of the procedure. As a result of her thoughtfulness, he said,

This ad will close in Charting Your Business Future Years 10 to Retirement: Managing Maturity Years 10 to Retirement: Managing Maturity With the maturity of becoming a decade-old company comes stability. That's the good news. The bad news is that while your company stabilizes, markets continue to change, competitors arise, technologies disrupt and the world otherwise evolves. So the primary growth challenge in this era is to keep innovating. You've spent years building systems to formalize the way your company is run. Now take a look at what you've made with an eye to tearing at least some of it down. Channels of communication that worked well for years will be found to leave important constituencies out of the loop. Department leaders will be seen as more concerned with turf wars than growing the company. Policies that once promoted growth will be recognized as growth-retardants. Markets that once seemed they would expand forever suddenly mature themselves and become slow- or no-growth ventures. This is

Man kills 85-year-old observing Ramadan night prayer Residents of Abiola Central Community, Moniya, Akinyele Local Government area of Oyo State were thrown into mourning as a young man, Mutiu Tiamiyu, beat to death an 85-year-old man, Nasir Adigun, on Ramadan eve. The octogenarian, who was physically impaired, was said to be observing Tarawhi (Ramadan night prayer) on Tuesday when Tiamiyu pounced on him. It was learnt that the old man was persuaded by his family members to observe the prayer at home, while other members of the household went to the mosque. The attention of residents and worshippers in a nearby mosque were drawn to the old man’s plight by an unnamed teenager, who raised the alarm. When the residents arrived at Adigun’s house, the old man was found in a pool of blood. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and was later referred to the University College Hospital, Ibadan. He died before getting to the hospital. An eyewitness, who preferred anonymity, said, “Tiamiyu had eaten the old man’s

Teen sci-fi franchise 'Divergent' debuts with $56M JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer Published: NEW YORK (AP) -- To go with "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games," Lionsgate now has a trio of young-adult franchises with the box-office leading "Divergent." The teen science-fiction thriller starring Shailene Woodley debuted with $56 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The opening, while less than some anticipated, launches Lionsgate's third franchise built on young-adult best- sellers. With an audience 59 percent female and half under the age of 25, "Divergent" lured young moviegoers with dystopian drama and an upcoming star. "Divergent," though, fell well short of its forerunners: "Twilight" opened with $69.6 million in 2008, and "The Hunger Games" began with $152.5 million in 2012. Richie Fay, president of domestic distribution for Lionsgate, called it "a great beginning for another franchise for the company." A sequel is already in the works. "The key to the success of these franchises is

Nokia: exclusivity for charity July 27, 2008 at 5:23 by Martina Comments Anyway, I’d like to go back to the main point of my post: the combination of charity and exclusivity. It’s a great idea, especially with technology products and technology freaks that would go crazy to get a phone or any other device way before it hits the market. If you think about it, pre-selling a product and giving the takings to charity can do a very good job for a brand and its social responsibility, especially if done consistently and transparency. Of course this can’t work for all goods, but with technology and luxury brands I think it can result as a positive tool to promote a product while doing something good for the others.

Seeking Alpha Seeking Alpha Portfolio App for iPad Seth Klarman, the author of the legendary investment work "Margin of Safety" that only ran one print edition (and thus the book sells for over $1,000 on websites like Ebay and Amazon), often encouraged investors to think like investors instead of speculators. While Warren Buffett has his analogy that encourages investors to pretend that the stock market has closed for five to ten years, Klarman encourages investors to only buy assets that would generate good returns by measuring the business performance in relation to the price paid (instead of worrying about market fluctuations in either direction). In particular, Klarman pointed out how ridiculous the market for thirty-year Treasuries has become because no one actually goes through with holding them for thirty years: For still another example of speculation on Wall Street, consider the U.S. government bond market in which traders buy and sell billions of dollars' worth of thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds

It's confirmed, anonymously but by Us Weekly and then People, so probably as real as it gets between two Hollywood celebrities and their dualing phalanxes of "people." In other words, they waited until after the Oscars. Wouldn't want any "plus one" guest-list awkwardness at the afterparties!

South Africa and Botswana, moderately successful by African standards, look like first-world countries. Zimbabwe is becoming the most benighted sub-Saharan nation, the heart of Africa's darkness and the soul of its shame. The death of this once-rich and thriving country has been the lifetime project of its Dictator for Life, Robert Mugabe. The Making of a Tyrant Dictator for Life Around 1990, Mugabe took his secretary Grace Marufu, 40 years his junior, as a second wife (his first wife would die two years later). The marriage was a strange one, entered into under a traditional African law which allows a junior wife. Grace is infamous for her influence on her husband and for her family's voracious

I bought this game because it looked like something you have to be skilled in. But its just not like that. And im talking mostly of the multiplayer. Here are my reasons why I rather play Super Puzzle Fighter or any other competitive puzzler: - often one dies because of an inevitable situation like having a cannon on both sides and getting a row dropped that only leaves 1 space to survive the drop.......its impossible to dodge. - the rounds that are played are way too short and this comes of the extreme difficulty and unfairness, also of the slippery controls, new players often dont wanna even play with me, because its too hard, there is no tweaks in difficulty or options. - again quoting one of the best puzzlers of all time ---> in supper puzzle fighter both players always get the same layout dropped in their row, but here it just appear

MLS responds to Players Union criticisms over labor talks Just a day after members of the Major League Soccer Players Union publicly criticized MLS officials over their handling of labor negotiations, MLS is defending itself against claims that it is not taking talks over a new Collective Bargaining Agreement seriously. MLS president Mark Abbott responded on Saturday to criticism from players that MLS hasn't done enough to help make a labor deal happen, telling SBI that the league has done quite a bit to try and get a deal to happen. "They're mis- characterizing the scope, extent and seriousness of the proposals that the league has made," Abbott said. "We can't compel them to accept those proposals, we can't compel them to appreciate those proposals but I can tell you that they are significant. To say that the league is not serious is a complete mis-characterization of what has happened over the past few weeks, or months for that matter."

Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search However, it soon was recognized by Sir Arthur Eddington and others that the total amount of energy available via this mechanism only allowed for the Sun to shine for millions of years rather than the billions of years that the geological and biological evidence suggested for the age of the Earth. (Kelvin himself had argued that the earth was millions, not billions, of years old.) The true source of the Sun's energy remained uncertain until the 1930s in which it was shown by Hans Bethe to be nuclear fusion. Power generated by a Kelvin–Helmholtz contraction[edit] Gravitational potential energy from Newtonian mechanics is defined as: U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r} Recasting in terms of the mass of the sphere gives the final answer: While uniform density is not correct, one can get a rough order of magnitude estimate of the expected age of our star by inserting known values for the mass and radius of the Sun, and t

At one point today, the Aussie dollar fetched 66.2 US cents, marking a 40-month high, but despite the meteoric rise, Federal Treasurer Peter Costello isn't getting carried away. PETER COSTEL

A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never shot anyone and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family he must now sort through the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son. All the while fighting for his survival. How did this happen? How did things get so bad so fast? How will things ever return to normal after everything he's seen? From the guys behind BATTLE POPE and BRIT comes something COMPLETELY different.

Take the 2-minute tour × I have an entity and I've realised that there is a group of properties that work together. So, I moved them to a value object (together with their behavior) and now I have a reference from my entity to this value object. I've read "Domain Driven Design Quickly" (PDF) and I came across the following statement when explaining Value objects: If Customer is an entity object, then one instance of this object, representing a specific bank client, cannot be reused for account operations corresponding to other clients. The outcome is that such an instance has to be created for every client. This can result in system performance degradation when dealing with thousands of instances. But I'm still not clear exactly what this means. Is my new object a value object or should it be an entity? I am having trouble reasoning whether it should in fact be an entity. In other words, what questions should I ask in my domain to assure me that it should be a value object? share|improve this question ad

From Mean Girls to Geeks: A Teen's Hilarious Guide to Surviving Middle School My daughter started her second year of Middle School last week. After a year of being a 6th grader at the bottom of the school's totem pole, she was excited to return to a place that she'd formerly found intimidating. It was no longer a new and scary world. She was returning to school as a seasoned, worldly (dare I say a little jaded) 7th grader. And because my daughter apparently knows everything about everything, I sat down with her to ask about what tips she might have for kids (and parents) who are just starting Middle School this year, and feeling a little nervous. She had a lot to say. Parents, feel free to pick and choose from these nuggets of wisdom… and edit accordingly. Daughter: Middle School is really hard if you go it alone. You need friends who will watch your back when the mean kids start coming around. Me: Are there always mean kids? At every school? Daughter: Yes. I mean, not to freak anyone out, but mean ki

Foxconn 925A01-8EKRS2 0 thumbs up The Foxconn 925A01-8EKRS2 is equipped with an Award / Phoenix v6.0 BIOS derivative, like most other motherboards shipping today.  Foxconn has done some tweaking, however, that gives the 925A01 some fairly unique features and capabilities... The BIOS: Foxconn 925A01-8EKRS2 It's Fairly Complete Most of the BIOS menus contain options that are commonly found on a multitude of other products.  The Standard, Advanced, and Chipset Features menus are home to common features for tweaking memory timings, assigning the boot order, and setting the time and date, etc.  On the "BIOS Features" menu though, we found some Foxconn specific options that aren't very common.  These "BIOS Features" are dubbed SuperBoot, SuperBIOS-Protect, SuperRecovery, and SuperSpeed.  SuperBoot basically trims down the POST routine on warm-reboots to shave a few seconds off of the boot process and SuperBIOS- Protect prevents unwanted programs, like a virus for example, from overwriting the BIOS and damagin

Monday, April 28, 2008 General Update Stud has the younger three kids up at the local school grounds to play catch, football, etc. I got Princess her own pink bat, ball and glove a few weeks ago and she has been begging Stud to take her to play catch so he finally got a chance tonight. Cryptic is working on catching up on over-due assignments with his on-line school (I won't even GO THERE right now! ARG!) and I just got done doing some lovely yoga and ball exercises from one of my many exercise DVDs that I have not done in MONTHS. Stud and I are not doing good about going to the gym anymore and I am eating horribly AGAIN, so I am still attempting to get myself feeling better. I feel MUCH better after doing this and walking for about 30 minutes with Cryptic at 6:30 this morning. We plan to do that every morning before everyone else is up and before things get too bright. Neither of us like sunshine and bright light, so we go early! LOL Stud was 40 yesterday! I feel kind of weird that it was almost like any

Agenda and views of this site This statement may be updated from time to time as circumstances change. But the principles will not. There are a few things that need to be made clear from the outset. Things which I and others here have stated repeatedly but can get lost as articles vanish down the blog and into the past. However some of these ideas are the template around which other posts are made and therefore it is important that this site and its articles are viewed with these principles in mind. If nothing else, it can solidify either your support for, or your contempt of this blog and its authors but at least it will be for what we actually stand for and believe as opposed to what others may imagine and impugn it to be. The first thing I feel needs clarification is our attitude towards Islam. I need to be as clear about this as humanly possible. Islam is a religious political and cultural system. Its no more deserving of protection than that of Nazism or Communism with which, by the way, it shares a

Thursday, March 05, 2009 Another brief demolition of Roger Cohen If the examples I have given weren't enough, here's a letter to the New York Times concerning Cohen's belief that Iranian Jews are patriotic and free: To the Editor: David Simantob Los Angeles, March 2, 2009 In Iran, as in all Muslim states, the tolerance of other religions only extends to the point at which they are perceived to be slightly threatening. There are a few Jews left over in Egypt and Syria and Yemen, and as in Iran their governments like to point to them as proof of their tolerance. But they will only tolerate those who toe the line, who publicly agree with their totalitarian masters and who submit to second-class citizen status. Proof that this is anti- semitism and not only anti-Zionism could be seen from a simple thought experiment: Imagine how these tolerant governments would react if a Jewish community wanted to build a single synagogue that is taller than the surrounding mosques.

Convergent validity From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article Jump to: navigation, search Convergent validity, a parameter often used in sociology, psychology, and other behavioral sciences, refers to the degree to which two measures of constructs that theoretically should be related, are in fact related.[1] Convergent validity, along with discriminant validity, is a subtype of construct validity. Convergent validity can be established if two similar constructs correspond with one another, while discriminant validity applies to two dissimilar constructs that are easily differentiated. Campbell and Fiske (1959) developed the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix to assess the construct validity of a set of measures in a study.[2] The approach stresses the importance of using both discriminant and convergent validation techniques when assessing new tests. In other words, in order to establish construct validity, you have to demonstrate both convergence and discrimination.[3] Convergent validit

Take the tour × I've come across two kanji, which are both read やなぎ　and both mean "willow". From what I've found out so far, has an On'yomi of リュウ　and it seems to mean more "things with the qualities of a willow"; while 　has an On'yomi of ヨウ　and means the type of tree.

NORM PATTIS: Perhaps it's time to repeal the Second Amendment I'll be starting trial this week in Norwich. My client is accused of murder. The victim was shot to death, point blank, with a hand gun. The gun has never been found. As near as I can tell from reading the police reports, a bunch of people were hanging out in a low-income neighborhood in New London, rolling dice, getting stoned, and passing a communal bottle of alcohol. A hooded man walked up, pointed a handgun at the back of man's head, and pulled the trigger. The shooting seems almost random, a casual even. I've seen far too many of these sorts of cases in recent years. They are far too common. Young men get in a beef about something, a girl, a slight, drugs, and then, someone returns with a gun. Shots are fired, and quick death is delivered courtesy of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Dis' me and die, sucker - that's the new motto for patiots. This right to bear arms, to transform our streets into killing fields, is ove

Between Worlds: Jilbab and Transgender in Indonesia It is a scene that wouldn’t be unfamiliar in France or Belgium: a woman’s hijab is snatched away by strangers on the street from her head despite her protest. She is told she shouldn’t wear it, or rather, she has no right to because her wearing it mocks other women and femininity itself. But it is not an episode of Islamophobic rage that is recounted by Shuniyya Rumaha Haiibalah, but an incident in her native Indonesia that would later become the title of her best-selling memoir, Jangan lepas jilbabku! (Please do not remove my jilbab!) Haiibalah is Muslim and transgender. The hostile reactions from other women and men towards her decision to wear the jilbab (hijab) in public was based on the belief of the irreconcilability of being waria* (transgender) and expressing religiosity in the gender of choice. While other waria do not mix gender identity with religious identity (as the video above shows, some transwomen dress as men in places of worship), women

Font Size Alzheimer's Disease (cont.) Health Tools Alzheimer's Disease: Should I Take Medicines? Alzheimer's disease causes loss of brain cells in areas of the brain. Some of the deterioration may be related to a loss of chemical messengers in the brain, called neurotransmitters, that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate properly. People with Alzheimer's disease have two things in the brain that are not normal: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. • Amyloid plaques are clumps of a protein called beta amyloid. This plaque builds up around the cells in the brain that communicate with each other. • Neurofibrillary tangles are made from a protein called tau. Normally, the tau protein helps cells communicate in the brain. In Alzheimer's disease, the tau protein twists and tangles. The tangles clump together, and some nerve cells die, which makes communication in the brain much harder. • As brain cells die, it shrinks. The damage to the brain eventually causes problems with memory, in

Rooney: Relaxed England not lost in translation England's unbeaten Euro 2012 squad feel more relaxed and confident under new manager Roy Hodgson because he is English and nothing gets "lost in translation", striker Wayne Rooney said on Sunday. In his first appearance at a news conference at the England squad's media centre in Krakow, the talismanic forward confirmed he was fully fit, relieved to be available after serving a two-match ban and unfazed by facing a hostile Ukrainian crowd in Donetsk on Tuesday. "We've been to a lot of stadiums around the world and we've had to deal with a big atmosphere on a lot of occasions," Rooney said. "I think we are big enough and experienced enough to deal with that." England need a draw in their final Group D game against the co-hosts to be certain of reaching the quarter-finals. "Are we feeling more relaxed than at the World Cup?" said Rooney. "Yes, I would say so... we are more relaxed. It helps all the coaching staff being English and no words are lost in translat

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Manufacture a Scandal October 17, 2013 RSS Feed Print Kathleen Sebelius and Barack Obama. There's a new tactic by critics of the Obama administration: Off with their heads! Or, if you can't beat 'em on policy, demand they resign or try to force them out of their jobs. First, there's Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus says should go. Why? Poorly-handled technology Sebelius surely had no role in developing or operating. But is this a fireable offense? You get fired as a cabinet secretary when you take bribes or show up drunk at a cabinet meeting. Yes, it's clear the RNC hates the Affordable Care Act. But if they really think it's a "train wreck,'' why not let the choo-choo hit the wall? Demanding that Sebelius be fired diminishes the seriousness of the legitimate opposition to Obamacare, and just makes the RNC look raving mad.

If you're not exactly fond of paying through credit cards cards or carriers, you can activate the option by clicking Add Paypal and typing in your log-in details. The option has a huge limitation, though: you can't exactly use it to buy devices and accessories. So, if you want to buy a new Android phone or a Nest thermostat, you need to bust out that plastic.

Archive of articles classified as' "All Posts" Back home A short letter to a unit testing newcomer One of my friends asked how to get started with unit testing and Test Driven Development and figured I could write a short post. I also mention TDD a few times in my book so I think it could use some more attention. I got started with unit testing when I wrote a smallish Python project, and realized I couldn’t maintain large Python projects without tests*. So I wrote unit tests for my code. I then quickly got into TDD. I don’t remember what resources I used, but there are plenty. I’d encourage you to start unit testing by writing your code first, then the tests. As soon as this becomes easy and is paying off, start writing the tests first (TDD). You will come to appreciate that this is a powerful way of thinking and working. Even if you don’t ultimately stick with this approach, it is worth becoming skilled with it. You will uncover many suboptimal areas in your coding process that are otherwise extremely

Automobile Accident Cases: Strategies To Expose The Inattentive Driver Most automobile accidents are caused by driver inattention. All it takes is a glance away from the roadway or a moment of distraction for a driver to lose control of his or her vehicle. These precious seconds often result in disastrous consequences for our clients. Consequently, it is incumbent on trial lawyers for victims of automobile accidents to develop strategies to expose and explain such driver inattention. We live in a society of ever-increasing technology and multi- tasking that greatly increases the likelihood of driver distraction and inattention. The sources of distraction include the proliferation of: cell phones, PDA’s, computer options and controls on the dashboard, GPS devices, drive-through fast food restaurants, and perhaps most importantly, hectic lifestyles. It is wise for trial lawyers to develop strategies to determine such sources of distraction and expose them in their automobile accident cases. It is at least as i
