In a year when much has happened to shake our faith in humanity, it is helpful to highlight but a few of the major victories people have made on behalf of companion animals:
- In celebration of becoming the nation’s first no-kill county, San Diego proclaimed July 1 “Save A Pet Day.” Since 2012 county officials have collaborated with local shelters on the “Getting To Zero” project, achieving its goal five years ahead of schedule. Under the declaration, no healthy or treatable animal companion shall be euthanized. Continued success of the program is heavily dependent on families willing to foster.
- The first of hundreds of dogs destined for Asian dinner plates arrived in the U.S. last March for adoption thanks to the unflagging efforts of Humane Society International. Beagles, poodles and Korean Jindos and Tosas were among the breeds rescued from a South Korean dog meat farmer reportedly trying to leave the trade. Many of the newly-adopted dogs knew no other than the deplorable conditions into which they were born and raised.
- Driven by the simple yet brilliant idea that shelter animals enveloped by the warmth of a gently-used blanket are more adoptable, Operation Blankets of Love saved an estimated 24,000 animal companions this year. Founded in 2008, OBOL has spearheaded countless animal rescue efforts including massive emergency airlifts, a trap-neuter-release program for feral cats on Catalina Island and programs promoting responsible pet ownership in elementary schools.
- By a vote of 62-0 the New York State Senate passed bill SS3321 authorizing domestic companion animals to be permitted aboard any commuter transportation operated by the metropolitan transportationauthority or any of its subsidiaries in the event of a state emergency and evacuation of a region. Introduced in February of this year by Sen. Andrew J. Lanza, the bill is pending action by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
- What began as a search for his lost dog ended in the rescue of more than 2,000 dogs by Wang Yan of Jilan province, China. Following a lead, Yan arrived at a local slaughterhouse. Yan did not find his dog there, but he was so repulsed by scenes of carnage that he spent his entire life savings (roughly the equivalent of $470,000 U.S. dollars) to buy the dog meat factory and relocate its residents to an abandoned steel mill he converted into an animal sanctuary.
The year 2015 proved again that not all heroes wear capes - or walk on two legs:
- In January, a newborn was saved from freezing to death in the town of Obninsk, Russia, by a stray tabby named Masha. The cat reportedly curled herself around the infant, who had been abandoned on a stairwell with minimal provisions, and licked his face. Neighbors eventually responded to Masha’s cries and rescued the pair from sub-zero temperatures.
- Until last spring, Toefu, a spaniel mix, had been kept by Knoxville, Tennessee, hoarders in squalor along with 75 other dogs and never knew the feel of grass beneath her feet. Following her rescue by animal control officers, Toefu was nurtured by ASPCA behaviorist, Kristen Collins, and today coaxes dogs with similar abusive pasts out of their shells.
- Black crows may have a reputation for portending death, but one English crow was not beyond showing gratitude. In September, a Good Samaritan gently pried “Russell’s” head from a wooden fence where he’d gotten stuck, then opened his home to the recovering bird. As an apparent “thank you,” the freed Russell later returned with a crew of crow brethren to say “hello.”
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Portland in Meigs County, Ohio — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
Battle of Buffington Island
Union Troops Withdraw
In the early morning of July 19, Union Brigadier General Henry Judah's forces, dispatched the day before from Pomeroy, surprised both themselves and the raiders by virtually running right into Confederates hidden by the morning's dense fog. Rather than attempt to cross the Buffington Island ford at night, Morgan had decided to rest his troops in a nearby valley.
Startled, Morgan's men quickly fired upon the blue-clad soldiers. Judah's forces had little room to maneuver in the narrow valley where they met the raiders and soon came under heavy fire. Barely able to defend themselves, Judah's troops were forced to retreat. Meanwhile, Union General Hobson's reinforcements, led by Colonel August Kautz, were on their way to attack from the west, and Union gunboats were traveling up the Buffington Island channel to protect the ford.
Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley, 19th and 25th presidents of the United States, respectively, both served in the 23rd Ohio Infantry. In 1863, Hayes commanded a brigade, which included the 23rd Ohio,
Top left: Daniel McCook - Major Daniel McCook died after the initial skirmish. He was father of the famous "Fighting McCooks," a family of staunch Union supporters which sent twelve men to the battlefields.

Robots will not be satisfied until they can do everything better than humans. It's not enough that they can perform repetitive tasks faster and more precisely than humans. Now they want to destroy the sacred text of our childhoods. I'm talking, of course, about "Where's Wado?" A new AI-powered robot is able to find Waldo almost instantaneously using Google’s AutoML Vision service. Will the madness ever end?
According to Dami Lee for The Verge: "Built by creative agency redpepper, There’s Waldo zeroes in and finds Waldo with a sniper-like accuracy. The metal robotic arm is a Raspberry Pi-controlled uArm Swift Pro which is equipped with a Vision Camera Kit that allows for facial recognition. The camera takes a photo of the page, which then uses OpenCV to find the possible Waldo faces in the photo. The faces are then sent to be analyzed by Google’s AutoML Vision service, which has been trained on photos of Waldo. If the robot determines a match with 95 percent confidence or higher, it’ll point to all the Waldos it can find on the page."

By Adam Allington, Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — Taking Social Security benefits early comes with a price, yet more than 4 in 10 Americans who are 50 and over say they’ll dip into the program before reaching full retirement age.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll (pdf) released Thursday found that 44 percent report Social Security will be their biggest source of income during their retirement years.
Full benefits begin at 65 or 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954. Americans can begin collecting as early as age 62, but with benefits reduced by up to 30 percent, according to the Social Security Administration.
“One thing we know for certain is that claiming early can have long-term repercussions on your fiscal security as you age,” said Gary Koenig, vice president of financial security at the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Koenig said benefits increase significantly for those who wait, rising around 8 percent more for each additional year past age 66 and up to 70, when benefits max out.
“So we encourage people to delay as long as possible,” he said.
But waiting is a luxury many Americans don’t have.
Ken Chrzastek of Chicago began drawing Social Security benefits at age 62 and pulled $50,000 out of an IRA after losing a retail job two years ago. He has been unable to find even part-time work. “Hiring a 62-year-old is a liability for a company,” he said.
The poll found that Americans 50 and over have multiple…

Red rocks are a big drawn for visitors to Sedona, Arizona. These are not small rocks but mammoths named Bell, Cathedral, Coffeepot, Chimney, Steamboat, and Castle. To name a few.
I wanted to sketch a few of these Sedona features with my desert watercolor palette attempting to capture the rufous rocks. The red is caused by dissolved iron that has drained through sandstone layers for millions of years.
High on my list was to sketch the Chapel of the Holy Cross, a Sedona must see since 1956. The chapel was build to fit into the red rocks like a jigsaw puzzle piece (featured sketch).
In the afternoon I visited Red Rock State Park and had good light to sketch the iconic Arizona landmark: Cathedral Rock.

One thing you get to realise very quickly after moving to a location like Durness - it's a long way from anywhere! Driving around I often see photographic opportunities but perhaps for another day when time and circumstances allow.
Our dentist visits take us to Lochinver, a drive of 53 miles and one and a half hours duration. The route takes us along Loch Assynt, a fine loch with many views of merit but it was one feature which interested me driving this route some 13 years ago. A collection of mature trees sit on the loch on several small islands, some actually growing in the water. Bold, dominant, and almost sculptural, they are a classic feature of the Assynt landscape.
The problem was, there were so many combinations of things which would need to coincide to allow me to capture the images I was aiming for, tranquil, semi-abstract, certainly minimalist and most definitely monochrome.
The loch would need to be still, yet more often than not, this exposed loch is characterised by huge choppy waves. Ideally, I would want a misty morning providing a subdued backdrop which would minimise background distractions. No harsh direct sunlight. Position and composition would be critical to place the trees where I wanted them with separation from each other and other features in the landscape, and all this would take time.
Finally, the gods were on my side. The forecast looked perfect, low cloud, little or no wind, and intermittent periods of sunshine. Off I went, just hoping that it would all come together. I was not disappointed.
The mist rolled down this hills in the background providing a beautiful curtain of diffused light and the perfect backdrop to maximise the impact of the dark trees in the foreground. The occasional breeze was creating slight ripples on the surface of the loch and so I decided to opt for a long exposure which would smooth these out, again with the aim of reducing distractions. The mist was actually light rain which would take a few minutes to travel across the loch to my position. Quickly protecting the camera with a waterproof cover, these showers would last just a couple of minutes before the whole cycle repeated again. I would need to have everything prepared in advance to take advantage of each 'window' of time.
After the usual period of summer photography inactivity (never my favoured season) I was delighted with the result. A collection of some 5 or 6 images which will form a great collection for exhibition.
On the long drive home, a favourite saying of a great friend of mine, Alan came to mind
"Things take time"
Cheers Alan, they certainly do!

Voted # 1 Drum N Bass / Dubstep DJ for 2009 – 2010,the Bay Beat Collective (BBC) started out with the intention of bringing Berlin’s underground music to Mumbai’s night clubs. BBC explores new aural territory, dabbling in styles ranging from breaks to drum n bass glitch hop to dubstep, dark to funky and tech, with a partiality to "phat" bass lines and high voltage grooves that are infectious,delicious and supremely funky.These styles have been a huge part of Europe’s underground scene for some years now. Even if you aren’t familiar with these styles yet, you needn’t worry. The BBC believes that people are more familiar with niche forms of electronica than they realise.Hip Hop for example has it’s roots in breakbeat and drum n’ bass. Though the BBC’s style has richer bass lines , slower beats and a darker vibe.
Kris Correya Kris is one of the most experienced artists of the collective.At 36 he has over a decade of experience to his credit. His association with the underground scene in India goes way back to the mid-1990s. A time when electronica was limited to dingy hotels on the outskirts of the city.Today Kris enjoys the position of longtime resident DJ at Zenzi in Mumbai. A club that has been at the forefront of experimental and underground music in India. Apart from the BBC Kris is also part of the collective Mosquito Masala with DJ Uri and other artists. He’s even played the opening slot for Drums n Bass pioneers in the UK- London Electricity. Sohail Arora Arora started as the lead singer of the nu metal band 'Skincold' . Though it was his job at Blue Frog in Mumbai that was the real turning point . He found himself spending a lot of his freetime at Zenzi where Kris Correya was the resident DJ. An introduction to a new style of music led to him taking an interest in the console during rehearsals. He credits Kris for introducing and training him .Today along with the BBC, Sohail is the founder of KRUNK, the alternative booking agency. More recently he started the Bass Camp festival in Mumbai. The March edition saw Kris Correya playing with Mathew Jonson of the Cobblestone Jazz. (More on this later) Raffael Kably Finally the youngest and dreadlockiest of them all is Raffael Kably.At 16 Kably played at Zenzi while the staff prepped for the evenings. His father, a partner at the club, encouraged him and let him work on his skills for the next two years. Now in his early twenties Raffael has 4 years of experience behind him.In 2009 he spent a year in Singapore completing a diploma in sound engineering at the School of Audio Engineering. Kably is the only member of the collective who composes his own music.
Some of the best BBC shows are a combination of high end and accessible musical generators.Time coded vinyls, laptops, midi controllers, projectors (even i-Phones on occasion) and their prized bass bins for that extra 'power'! It is this range and ease of acceptability that has seen them through successful tours all across India for the last three years. The BBC has opened for and toured with the legendary LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad in India .In 2010 the BBC completed their first summer tour of Europe. DJs Kris Correya, Sohail Arora and Raffael Kably form the Bay Beat Collective (BBC) with a mutual love of experimental sound.Adding a third dimension to the unique sounds of the BBC is their prized visual Jockey Dooj Ramchandani with his innovative and crazy visuals. It is often said that the Bay beat collective has injected fun into a scene once close to mutating into an increasingly austere and po-faced arena.
Check back for our exclusive interview with Kris Correya where we talk about the new BBC release, tours planned for 2011, his favourite new artists and much more. Kris Correya along with DJ Uri and Suman Sridhar will be performing at the Park Bangalore this Saturday- 9th April 2011

Earlier today, the Government Accountability Office released a report, “Enhanced Data Collection Could Help FCC Better Monitor Competition in the Wireless Industry.” A copy of the report is here.
The following statement is attributed to Gigi B. Sohn, president and co-founder of Public Knowledge:
“Today’s GAO report adds more evidence to the argument that any rules governing an open Internet should apply to the wireless sector as well as to the wired. The report paints a disturbing picture of an industry in which the top four carriers control 90 percent of the market, and industry consolidation is strangling smaller, regional carriers.
“The report shows the large companies continue to pile up advantages in gaining more spectrum, in exclusive deals for handsets and in locking in consumers with high termination fees. At the same time, there is the equally disturbing trend that the investments larger carriers are making in their networks are a smaller proportion of their service revenue than the expenses of smaller carriers. High special access rates imposed by the wireline affiliates of the larger carriers also hamper competition.
“These trends do not bode well for consumers, despite any benefits of the moment. The report shows the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should act soon on a wide range of pending pro-consumer items, ranging from handset exclusivity to text messaging, in addition to making certain any policy on an open Internet includes wireless access as well.”
Members of the media may contact Communications Director Shiva Stella with inquiries, interview requests, or to join the Public Knowledge press list at firstname.lastname@example.org or 405-249-9435.

Be aware of the following indicators that may indicate a child is being harassed:
- Injuries — unexplained bruises, cuts or scratches
- Torn, damaged or missing clothing or other belongings
- Anxiety, tearfulness, moodiness and resistance to going to school
- Ongoing physical symptoms — especially headaches, stomachaches or fatigue — that are invoked as a reason to stay home
If you are suspicious, ask questions that express your interest and concern: "How are things going at school? Is anything — or anyone — giving you a hard time?" Your child may be reluctant to reveal what has happened, and you may need to exercise some persistence to find out. If bullying has indeed occurred, make sure he understands that you take it very seriously, that you intend to take appropriate action and that keeping silent will only allow the bully to continue what he is doing. You will need to get as much information as possible: who, when, where and what happened. If there have been witnesses to the bullying, gather information from them as well.
Assuming that this has happened at school, make an appointment as soon as possible with the principal or administrator who is designated to handle this type of problem. Most likely this person will be ready and willing to put the heat on anyone who is involved in bullying, but he or she will need specifics. Tell the story but also provide information in writing, and be sure to take note of the response to your concern. You may want to arrange a meeting with the perpetrator and one or both of his parents in a school official’s office. Your posture should be calm, but resolute: Look the bully in the eye and make it abundantly clear that even one further episode will bring disastrous consequences and that you expect his parents to co-operate.
If the harassment continues and the principal or parents of the perpetrator appear unwilling to take appropriate action, they should be put on notice that the problem may be taken to a higher level of school administration, an attorney, the police or all of the above. If the problem involves risks of extreme violence or gang activity, you will need to seek advice from law-enforcement personnel. In a worst-case scenario, a change of school (or home schooling) may be necessary to bring your child or adolescent through this situation in one piece. Do whatever it takes (within the bounds of the law) to protect your child’s safety and self-respect.
What If Your Child Is Accused of Bullying?
Whatever you do, don’t shrug it off (Hey, boys will be boys) or deny that there’s a problem. Get the facts. You should get your child’s side of the story, but also diligently seek input both from school officials and from whomever else was involved, including the victim(s) of the bullying. If the evidence (or your child’s or teen’s own admission) points to involvement in bullying, you will need to have a number of serious conversations:
You must make it clear not only that this behaviour is unacceptable, but that if continued, it will lead to serious consequences imposed by you, the school and possibly the law.
You will need to contact the parents of the victim(s) involved to apologise and express your determination to prevent further episodes. As a gesture of integrity and courage, you might want to arrange a meeting with the other family at an appropriate location so that a formal apology can be made by your child, as well as an offer of restitution for any expenses (involving medical care or property damage) related to the incident(s).
If others have been involved in bullying — perpetrators often act in groups — you should take the lead in contacting their parents to encourage corrective and restorative action.
If your child or teen has been involved in multiple bullying incidents, you should arrange for him to undergo counselling, both for evaluation and prevention of further episodes. Other issues — depression, drug use, impulse control and even prior victimisation (since some bullies have been bullied themselves) — may need to be addressed. This is a family issue, so be prepared to participate in some important discussions in the counsellor’s office yourself.

Did you know that Hollywood generated 33% less revenue than the US yellow page industry last year? Neither did I until I read a fascinating new book called The Phone Book: The Curious History of the Book That Everyone Uses But No One Reads.
Ammon Shea is not your typical thirtysomething book enthusiast. After reading the Oxford English Dictionary from cover to cover (and living to write about it in Reading the OED), what classic, familiar, but little-read book would he turn to next? Yes, the phone book. With his signature combination of humor, curiosity, and passion for combing the dustbins of history, Shea offers readers a guided tour into the surprising, strange, and often hilarious history of the humble phone book.
From the first printed version in 1878 (it had fifty listings and no numbers) to the phone book’s role in presidential elections, Supreme Court rulings, Senate filibusters, abstract art, subversive poetry, circus sideshows, criminal investigations, mental-health diagnoses, and much more, this surprising volume reveals a rich and colorful story that has never been told-until now.

The Fascinating World of the Nightshades
Tobacco, Mandrake, Potato, Tomato, Pepper, Eggplant, etc.
Pub Date :
Edition(s) at Erowid :
REVIEWS, EXCERPTS, & COMMENTS #
- 1st edition published as Nightshades: The Paradoxical Plants in 1969.
BACK COVER #Of all the plants that have figured conspicuously in human history, the Solanaceae, or nightshades, are among the most fascinating. Some are extremely useful to man; others, because of the alkaloids they contain, can be deadly. In this unique and entertaining book by a noted botanist--the first popular-level treatment of nightshades--readers find out which is which, and a great deal more.
Written in a charming, entertaining style, the text reviews the origin, history and uses of these phenomenal plants. Topics range from witty and informative discussions of hot peppers and other beneficial species such as the earth apple, mad apple and love apple (today identified respectively as the potato, eggplant, and tomato) to amusing accounts about tobacco--the "filthy weed." Included are intriguing stories about the poisonous belladonna and Jimson weed; mandrake and henbane, plants with purported medicinal properties; and the petunia, a nightshade that has found a permanent place in flower gardens. Professor Heiser also considers the use of nightshades as a potential food source in global areas plagued by recurring food shortages.
Well-indexed, with an appropriate selection of bibliographical material, The Fascinating World of the Nightshades is lively reading for anyone who enjoys plants: botanists, gardeners, naturalists or just interested laymen. The text is not only useful as supplementary reading material in general and economic botany courses, but also belongs in the library of any plant or nature lover.
BLURBS #"The author has brought together a great fund of factual information, fascinating anecdotes and stories about the members of this plant family...rewarding reading for all interested in plants. Very highly recommended."

An explosion has gone off in Russia-occupied Melitopol, southern Ukraine, the acting “deputy minister” of construction and public utilities have been injured, the Russian Investigative Committee reports.
The name of the official is not disclosed. According to the committee, the improvised explosive device was planted in a rubbish bin near an apartment block and went off when the man exited the building.
The “deputy minister” sustained blast injuries and was rushed to hospital.
Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov noted on Friday that a loud explosion went off in the centre of the city. “We are investigating where exactly the occupants had the misfortune to be smoking,” he wrote.
The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case into the attempted murder. The investigation is underway, eyewitnesses are being questioned now.
In early May, an assassination attempt was made on the “deputy interior minister” of the Russia-occupied part of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region in Melitopol.
Unidentified people planted explosives in front of the official’s house gates. The device exploded as he opened the door. The man was taken to hospital with blast injuries.
On 22 April, an explosion destroyed a train carrying fuel in Melitopol, Fedorov said. The mayor also said that a helicopter and a missile system were blown up in the city in the past few days.

'Desert Dreamings' introduces Aboriginal concepts of art as part of culture, and the role of Aboriginal art in reflecting relationships between people, landscape and stories. A range of traditional types of art are introduced and traditional symbols are explained, using diagrams and annotated artworks. The works of several modern desert artists, and photos of artists at work, are featured in a variety of twentieth century contexts. A double page map of Central Australia and the Western Desert regions indicates the countries of the many groups of desert artists.
Last revised in 2004, the content is still relevant but lacks artworks post 1989. The work is well organised, and the amount and complexity of information presented is suitable for the audience without sacrificing authenticity. Sections are short, headings clear, with roughly equal space devoted to text and coloured illustration. Includes a useful glossary. The author is not identified as Indigenous.

Cage bearings that allow more balls to be placed around the knife pivot than standard cage bearings. Which provides more support for the blade and decreasing stress on each ball. The ceramic balls are captured in the disc but are still free floating to prevent binding.
Includes Grade 5 ceramic bearings pre-installed.
- 22% increased blade support over caged bearings of same size
- Improved ball pathing around pivot
- Less pivot screw tightening required
- CNC machined from solid phosphor bronze
- One set equals two individual cage bearings
Great product works better than advertised. Didn’t think my knife can get any smoother but it did…
The skaha 2 is a smooth knife, but this just adds on top of the wow factor.
Have 4 knives with Skiff bearings now and love the action on all of them.
Installed on my spyderco smock just after a week of owning the knife I just wasn't happy with the action of the blade but after installing the ceramic bearing what a world of difference
I cannot explain how good this product is. Super quick shipping, not one complaint. I will for sure purchase from them again.

Foodie Friday: Snacking – Is it a Good habit or a Bad habit?
We American’s are notorious for our snacking. We even have an entire food line named after it (Snackwells). My favorite all-time snack has to be: crackers with havarti cheese, hard salami and an ice-cold glass of wine. This is a childhood memory for me and it always makes me feel nostalgic. However, that type of snack can be deadly to a dieter’s goals.
You’ve also probably heard of a popular diet plan that includes several (5 to 6) small meals a day in the hopes that one never finds themselves hungry or “keeps their metabolism humming all day long.” I’m not sure I buy in to that hype, I think that this is a body builder way of eating and I am by no means interested in becoming a body builder. These so called “meals” seem more like elaborate snacks to me, and I just don’t want to eat that way. I much prefer the traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner with optional dessert style of eating. Perpetually eating snacks all day will end up making me yearn for a proper meal and therefore I may never be quite satisfied with my snacky small meals. So, what about the traditional snacks?
Traditionally speaking, snacks are meant to slightly curb one’s hunger until the next proper meal. There is a general consensus that we should eat approximately every 4 hours. So, we can use snacks to fill in the gap between meals, especially those meals that may be farther apart than 4 hours.
Personally, I snack in two ways (on a good day!). One way is to only have a snack between lunch and dinner and it should be about 150 -200 calories total. That’s because if I eat lunch at 12:30 and then dinner at 6:30, I will be going longer than 4 hours between those two meals. So that I don’t pig out at dinner, having a snack around 4:00 will help me eat sensibly at my last meal of the day. The other option is to eat an additional snack in between breakfast and lunch as well as the afternoon snack. I choose this option when I have to get up at 6:00 A.M. and eat breakfast at 7. Knowing that my next meal will be at 12:30 or later, I must have something to eat in between or my stomach will be rumbling out loud as it has many times. This only happens when I am working. I am also extra hungry on those days because of my early rising, driving an hour to work, teaching intensely for 4 hours (teaching is an exhausting profession) and so forth. Believe me, I need that extra morning snack! Again, that morning snack is around 150 to 200 calories and I try to make it something that is substantial.
When I say substantial, I mean it has to carry me through until my next meal and not give me a sugar crash thus ruining the rest of my day. (One sugar crash for me, especially early in the day can wreck my eating for the rest of the day.) I often post about snacks I like while watching my weight, and unfortunately, the crackers-cheese-salami-wine choice doesn’t make the list. I often choose things like nuts, 1 oz. of cheese, rice cakes with hummus, fruit and so forth. You can find a plethora of healthy snack ideas all over the web as I know you know.
So that’s what I would call “good snacking.” What about “bad snacking?” That is snacking with abandon – you know, bag of chips, popcorn, crackers, cookies in lap; mindlessly dipping hand in over and over again while watching some type of screen. You may or may not be hungry for these types of foods, but the act of eating is comforting, familiar and down-right fun in the moment. However, as I’m sure you can guess, it is also a great way of packing on the pounds. Healthy snacks should serve a purpose, and if you are weight conscious, you cannot mindlessly snack ever again and expect to lose weight. If you choose to do this, expect the ramifications of that choice.
By the way, if you do go 4 hours and you aren’t hungry, you don’t have to have a snack if you don’t want it. You shouldn’t eat if you aren’t hungry. But be realistic. I know people who say they aren’t hungry, but really are; yet they don’t eat because it is more important for them to be stick thin. Then I watch them sit there with their hands shaking violently because of the dip in blood sugar. BAD IDEA! Shame on you if you do this. Plan your meals better and snack responsibly when necessary. Enough said…

The Google Cloud team revealed that back in September 2017 it has mitigated a powerful DDoS attack that clocked at 2.54 Tbps.
This attack is the largest distributed denial of service attack recorded to date.
“Our infrastructure absorbed a 2.5 Tbps DDoS in September 2017, the culmination of a six-month campaign that utilized multiple methods of attack. Despite simultaneously targeting thousands of our IPs, presumably in hopes of slipping past automated defenses, the attack had no impact.” reads the post published by Damian Menscher, a Security Reliability Engineer for Google Cloud.
“The attacker used several networks to spoof 167 Mpps (millions of packets per second) to 180,000 exposed CLDAP, DNS, and SMTP servers, which would then send large responses to us.”
Google researchers pointed out that the attack they mitigated was four times larger than the 623 Gbps attack launched from the Mirai botnet in 2016.
Experts noticed that this attack is bigger than the 2.3 Tbps DDoS attack mitigated by Amazon’s AWS in February.
A report published by the Google Threat Threat Analysis Group (TAG) speculates that the attack was carried out by a state-sponsored threat actor.
“we’ve seen bigger players increase their capabilities in launching large-scale attacks in recent years. For example in 2017, our Security Reliability Engineering team measured a record-breaking UDP amplification attack sourced out of several Chinese ISPs (ASNs 4134, 4837, 58453, and 9394), which remains the largest bandwidth attack of which we are aware.” reads the report published by Google.
Menscher revealed that the attack was part of a campaign that leveraged multiple DDoS amplification methods to hit Google’s servers.
Google decided to disclose the DDoS attack today to warn of an increasing trend of state-sponsored actors abusing DDoS attacks to target online resources.
Experts believe that DDoS attacks are becoming even more dangerous and would intensify in the coming years.

It’s time for New York’s subminimum wage for tipped workers to end. 400,000 tipped workers in New York are subject to a minimum wage that is $4 to $5.50 less than that of non-tipped workers. These workers deserve an equal minimum wage on top of their tips.
Tipped workers are more likely than non-tipped workers to live in poverty and face multiple economic hardships.
Income fluctuations, a result ofthe irregularity of tips compared to regular paychecks, make it harder for tipped workers to stay financially stable. Thirty-two percent of tipped workers said they were worried all or most of the time about their household finances, compared to only 23 percent among non-tipped workers, according to CSS’s annual Unheard Third survey.
In addition to exacerbating income inequality, the subminimum wage also creates an increased risk of sexual harassment from customers and management.
Among this predominately female workforce, many workers feel pressure from management to dress in ways that objectify themselves to try to earn bigger tips, according to a report by Restaurant Opportunities Centers United.

Joe Biden is now the apparent Democratic nominee after running on platform of moderate pragnmatism. Biden, however, is no moderate, especially on abortion.
The House speaker not only wants to use the coronavirus pandemic to entrench Obamacare, she wants to make taxpayers fund abortion in the process.
Friday night’s deal includes every Democratic wish except taxpayer-funded abortion and not a single Republican proposal. Those will come later, we’re told. We’re always told that, and it almost never happens.
While today’s left and 2020 Democratic presidential candidates endlessly strive to out-progressive each other on abortion policy, a new poll reveals bipartisan support for abortion restrictions.
The data show the Catholic voting demographic is more important than you might assume. Could Joe Biden use his Catholic background to his advantage?
‘Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church,’ Father Morey told the South Carolina newspaper. ‘Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.’
Biden’s phony moderate shtick will only hold up for so long, as true moderate and centrist voters will begin to see his tendencies to move left with the rest of the party on key issues.
Harris conveniently did not explain that the “health care” funding she was criticizing Biden for not supporting was taxpayer-funded abortions.
It’s very concerning that so many U.S. lawmakers and elected officials are now ignorant, or maybe just dismissive, of the constitutional rights of those they govern.
With the Hyde Amendment, the real test for Joe Biden, Kirsten Gillibrand, and their fellow Democrats will come in how hard they will push for its repeal.
People generally approve when a candidate flips in their direction. The left’s continuing attacks are the tell that something more is at play.
If he wants to hold onto his lead in the polls, Joe Biden’s flip-flop on abortion won’t be his last. And that’s a double-edged sword for him.
After just 48 hours of critical headlines, Joe Biden caved to the abortion extremists. He pledged to repeal the Hyde Amendment if elected.
As his Democratic contenders lurch left on the abortion issue, Joe Biden is betting the party’s voters are still closer to the center. He’s right.
Nearly all Democratic candidates in the 2020 presidential field pledge to repeal the Hyde Amendment. All except Joe Biden.

The following article highlights the question of how quickly we can transition to Driverless technology.
Given the extended period people tend to own their vehicles for, any model which expects people to buy their own driverless car will suffer a longer adoption period.
But why buy your own vehicle when driverless opens up the first really practical opportunity for community ownership and personalised ride sharing?
If we factor in a move away from personal ownership then i believe we can transition in a far more compressed timeframe...certainly within 10 years. ...
Is the Age of Driverless Cars Really on our Horizon?

Make-up free Lea Michele shows off her toned legs in tight black shorts as she enjoys hike with gal pal
She's currently on hiatus from the hit show Glee, but Lea Michele is still hard at work.
The 27-year-old actress was busy keeping in shape on Wednesday as she enjoyed a hike with her actress friend Aubrey Dollar in Los Angeles.
The star showed off her toned legs in a pair of tight black short shorts teamed with a loose fitting white top and pink sports bra, highlighting her recently acquired golden tan from her trip to Mexico.
Enjoying the day! Lea wore a pair of sunglasses to shield her from the bright sun and carried a bottle of water along with her cell phone
She wore her hair pulled back in a ponytail, revealing her pretty make-up free face.
Lea, who is currently dating new boyfriend Matthew Paetz, wore a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes from the bright sun and carried a bottle of water along with her cell phone.
All smiles: The 27-year-old appeared in good spirits as she smiled while walking
Happy day! Lea tweets 'Best hike today with Aubrey Dollar!'
Staying fit! The ladies worked up a sweat hiking earlier in the day
Let's get those drinks! Lea finishes her hike and heads off to grab a healthy juice
The female friends then headed out to hip Urth Cafe for a healthy juice
Last month, the starlet found a moment to partake in a duet with her Glee co-star Kristin Chenoweth, and the pair took to the microphone at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to sing the song For Good from Wicked.
Meanwhile, Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy recently addressed reports that state Lea's co-star Naya Rivera was fired from the show after allegedly engaging in a fight with the singer.

'Naya's coming back next year, Lea’s coming back next year – anybody ever in that cast has an open invitation to come back and finish the character they so beautifully started.'
Following a tribute episode to star Cory Monteith in October, Ryan confirmed the upcoming sixth season will be Glee's last.

Ashley Judd plays police detective Jessica Shepard, on the hunt for a serial killer who is murdering the men she recently dated. When Jessica starts blacking out before each murder, the police commissioner (Samuel Jackson) and her partner (Andy Garcia) begin to suspect that she may be more directly involved with the murders.
Twisted may boast an impressive cast but that's about all it has going for it. The story is pretty unoriginal as this is just a female version of Tightrope. While having a tough female cop in the lead role is a little interesting, it doesn't save the film from being really bad. The film tries to trick the audience offering some twists and turns but they all fail. Twisted is a poorly written thriller lacking twists. If you really think about it, you could probably figure out the ending before the thirty minute mark. It's just so obvious that you wonder why they even bothered making it in the first place.
Ashley Judd stars in this movie and she really needs to move on to a different genre. High Crimes, Eye of the Beholder, Kiss the Girls, Double Jeopardy and now Twisted have all starred Ashley Judd and I think audiences are getting bored watching her in the same role in every movie. In Twisted, she gives her usual performance though she looked a little bored throughout the film. You would think having Andy Garcia and Samuel L Jackson would help but apparently no talented actor can save the movie. Jackson also appears bored throughout the movie and this a paycheck movie for him. Andy Garcia gives an okay performance. It was just a little over the top.
It's a by the numbers thriller and if you pay close attention to the film you can figure out the killer five minutes into the movie. If you sit back and relax you may enjoy it more but they could have hidden the identity of the killer a little better. All of the three main actors in this movie are way above this material and I was surprised to see all of them in this. In the end, Twisted is another dull entry into the genre and it's only worth watching if you're a die-hard fan of anyone involved. Rating 4/10.

Following news that UnitedHealthcare and Humana will not participate in the Wisconsin health insurance exchange for 2014, representatives of both companies said they will consider selling products on the state’s exchange in the future.
UnitedHealthcare, which has the largest market share of health insurers in Wisconsin, and Humana were the most notable no-shows in information released Tuesday on companies that have filed to participate in the exchanges for individuals and small groups.
Also absent from the insurers disclosed for the Wisconsin exchange was Milwaukee-based Assurant Health. However, executives with the company’s corporate parent Assurant Inc. previously stated Assurant Health is sitting out 2014 and will begin selling on the state exchanges in 2015.
I sought comments from United and Humana and here are their responses.
United spokesman Kevin Shermach said company executives continue to await more clarity on “the economics, sustainability and dynamics of the exchange” and believe it has potential to be a growth market.
“We continue to evaluate exchanges and see 2014 as just the very start of the exchange markets,” Shermach said via email. “We will continue ongoing discussions with our provider partners and customers to continually review future exchange opportunities.”
Humana spokeswoman Lindsey Minella told me the company’s focus for 2014 is “on states where we have the best opportunity to offer a viable, affordable qualified health plan on individual market exchanges.”
“We remain interested in exploring the possibility of participating in Wisconsin’s exchange in future years,” she said via email. “What we learn from our participation in other states will inform our future decisions.”
The largest health insurer that has filed to sell on the Wisconsin exchange is Anthem’s Compcare Health Services Insurance. Anthem, like other insurers who met Wisconsin standards and filed plans, can withdraw its participation until early September. Compcare has filed to sell in the individual market but not the small-group market.

Beijing 2022 releases Post-Games Legacy Report
BEIJING -- The Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee (BOCOG) released the Beijing 2022 Post-Games Legacy Report on Wednesday.
The report comprises seven chapters, including winter sports popularization, post-Games use of Olympic venues, ice and snow industry growth, host city development, building of Beijing-Zhangjiakou sports, cultural and tourism belt, and cultural and social development.
The success of Beijing 2022 was a fulfillment of the promise made to the international community. The goal of engaging 300 million people in winter sports was achieved, while an increasing number of people, particularly youth, were inspired to take part in ice and snow activities.
Venues of Beijing 2022 were gradually opened to the public after the Games, attracting tourists to experience the Olympic ice rinks and skiing tracks. More national and world-level events are planned to take place at Beijing 2022 venues in the future.
The Shougang area has become a new landmark of urban revival; Yanqing is building itself into "a most beautiful host city," and Zhangjiakou is developing into an international winter tourism destination.
The development of the ice and snow industry in China further improved the livelihood of local people. The Beijing 2022 promoted the regional coordinated development in transport infrastructure, environmental protection, industrial growth and public services.

The Trump Administration is desperately trying to prevent a climate change trial scheduled for February 2018. His administration is getting sued by Our Children’s Trust and the group Earth Guardians. This climate change lawsuit has the potential to expose Trump and his EPA Director, Scott Pruitt as climate change denying frauds. It will pit Trump, Pruitt and their climate change denying hucksters vs. the world’s scientific community.
This climate change trial could rival the infamous 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial. Just as the Scopes trial was a battle over the science of evolution, the climate change trial will be the battle over the science of climate change. Both the truth of evolution and the truth of climate change are supported by America’s scientific and educational community. The opposition to both evolution in 1925 and the opposition to climate change today rests on many of the same myths, religious interpretations and fake science.
The Trump administration argued in the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court on Monday that the youths’ climate change lawsuit must be stopped. The 21 youth represented by Our Children’s Trust, first filed their constitutional climate lawsuit in 2015.
The youth assert in their lawsuit that “through the government’s affirmative actions that cause climate change, it has violated the youngest generation’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, as well as failed to protect essential public trust resources…the goal of the lawsuit is to force the U.S. government to scale back its support for fossil fuel extraction and production and to back policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
The lawsuit Juliana vs. United States was filed during the Obama administration to force the government to move faster in slowing global warming. It’s much more relevant today as the Trump administration’s EPA erases many of Obama’s positive climate initiatives.
Both Trump and EPA Director Scott Pruitt are climate change deniers. Pruitt has scrubbed the EPA website of dozens of references supporting the scientific basis of climate change. Pruitt’s war on climate change is an outright attack on facts and basic scientific truth.
The lawsuit has survived several roadblocks and is scheduled to go to trial on February 5, 2018. The Monday Appeals Court hearing is the Trump administration’s latest attempt at derailing the children’s’ climate lawsuit. The Trump administration and the U.S. government defendants are arguing that the youths’ climate change lawsuit should not be permitted to proceed to trial.
Trump’s Deputy Assistant Attorney General Eric Grant claimed that the magnitude and scope of the lawsuit would impair the functions of the executive branch. He argued that the trial would require filing requests for data going back decades and require that numerous public officials be made available for depositions. He warned that litigating the case could distract the executive branch from carrying out “its constitutional duties.”
“This court is on a collision course with the executive branch,” Grant said, arguing that the judges “should grant this writ and put an end to this case.”
Grant in his complaints on Monday to the Appeals Court repeated three times, that if this lawsuit goes forward, it would be the “trial of the century.”
The plaintiffs argue that their constitutional rights to a clean environment are in jeopardy due to the government’s failure to stem global warming. This case is of particular significance since it would require the government to present the overwhelming scientific basis underlying the reality of climate change. A climate trial would force the Trump administration to acknowledge the undeniable facts that Pruitt is attempting to scrub from the EPA.
Trump’s climate policy runs counter to the world’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement to reduce greenhouse emissions. All of the world’s 196 nations have signed the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump withdrew the United States making it the only lone nation refusing to sign. The remainder of the world’s nations have all agreed on a climate goal. The world, with the exception of the United States, have unanimously agreed we must prevent average worldwide temperatures from increasing any more than 2 degrees centigrade.
Trump’s Assistant Attorney General is right when he predicts this will be the “trial of the century.” It will expose to the world that the Trump administration’s climate change denial is fake news. A nationally reported climate trial would provide the ultimate platform to finally bury the climate change denial myth forever. America’s scientific and educational community would benefit as well by finally getting the recognition and validation that it deserves. Let’s hope this trial will be allowed to go forward for the sake of our children.

Trying to get the rubber internal seal on end of syringe ram not to slip off is a drag once brake fluid swels them. Better design is the o-ring type but haven't seen a big one.
I just bought that Repco one as i got a chrissy voucher that got me partway there so figured buy something you wouldnt normally.
Actually it works but its not magic. For empty system it was a whole lot quicker and that was the main desire. Yes it pulls bubbles from the threads, maybe if I only cracked it a bit . . .
You still need to pump lever a little at the end to move the pistons close and last air out whilst manipulating the nipple open and closed. Whether the suction aids to a better bleed I can't say but would be worth it for difficult setups.
Much of the tube I seem to find locally slips off the nipple (some of this stuff is just odd to write) so I've cable tied it. The stuff in the Repco kit seems to fit well so far.
Longer nipples would help. But a mate gave me some tube capiters (I don't want to look up the right spelling in case I get emotionally scared) but the fitting with a slight trim holds fast onto nipples. Vicar.
So yes I'd mildly recommend the Repco system. Its not rubbish and it is useable. But its not a panacea to traditional lever manipulation.
I've been told. Dreaming`s free.
Think I'll go, back to sleep.
Everybody listen, voices in my head
Everybody listen, do yours say, what mine says?

The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body responsible for transmitting force from the tibia to the hip joint. The femur is also the place of attachment for many muscles and ligaments.
The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the human body and makes up a quarter of the body's height. The femur is attached to the hip via a ball and socket joint, providing movement and a source to articulate the pelvis. The ball joint is attached by a narrow neck laterally to the vertical femur shaft.
The femur is joined to several muscles via attachment sites. The trochanter connects the femur to the large muscles of the thigh and buttocks. The posterior side of the femur connects to the tibia via the medial and lateral condyles while the anterior side connects to the kneecap via the patellar surface. All of these attachments all serve to articulate the muscles and bone. With so many functions and sites of movement, the femur is split into three regions for study, namely the proximal, shaft and distal.
The neck of femur in the proximal area is most likely to break as it is the thinnest part of the ball and socket joint.Learn More
A femur, which is the largest bone in the leg and the body as a whole, can be fractured with approximately 4000 newtons of energy, according to an article in SciFighting. The tibia and fibula, both smaller bones, require significantly less force.Full Answer >
The function of the scapula is to provide movement and stabilization of the arm at the shoulder by attaching it to the trunk of the body, known as the thorax.
