Based on Finding the area between two regions in the plane I know that the area between $y>\sqrt{2}x - \frac{1}{4x}$ and $y< \sqrt{2}x + \frac{1}{4x}$ is infinite. However, I actually have a different question to ask. Are there only finitely many lattice points contained in the area? How could I show this? Looking at the graph presented in the link, it's clear that the infinitely many lattice points could only come from the area around the asymptote going off to the top right, so I would need to show that this section only contains finitely many lattice points.

The question is whether there are infinitely many pairs of positive integers $(x,y)$ such that $$\sqrt{2} x - \frac{1}{4x} < y < \sqrt{2} x + \frac{1}{4x}$$
or equivalently
$$ \left| \sqrt{2} - \frac{y}{x}\right| < \frac{1}{4 x^2} $$
This is a question about Diophantine approximation. The best Diophantine approximations of an irrational number $\alpha$ (and any where $|\alpha - x/y| < 1/(2 y^2)$) are convergents of the continued fraction.
The basic inequality is
$$ \frac{1}{x_n^2 (a_{n+1}+2)} < \left| \alpha - \frac{y_n}{x_n} \right| < \frac{1}{x_n^2 a_{n+1}}$$
where $y_n/x_n$ are the convergents and $a_n$ the elements of the continued fraction of $\alpha$.
Since $\sqrt{2}$ is a quadratic irrational, its continued fraction is eventually periodic:
in fact
$$ \sqrt{2} = [1; 2,2,2,\ldots]$$
Since the elements of the continued fraction are at most $2$,
we get $$\left| \sqrt{2} - \frac{y_n}{x_n}\right| > \frac{1}{4 x_n^2}$$
On the other hand, if you replaced $4$ by $2$ you would get infinitely many lattice points.
$\begingroup$I'm not really familiar with diophantine approximation or continued fractions. I am trying to do this problem in the context of the geometry of numbers. Given this, I don't really understand your solution.$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$+1 Nice answer. Do you have any recommended references for your statements about the relationship between best Diophantine approximation and convergents?$\endgroup$

A female first for Bangladeshi cadets
Jarin Chowdhury is the first female cadet from Bangladesh to sail on foreign-flagged ships. She was awarded the Cadet Award at The Mission to Seafarers annual Seafarers' Awards, presented to the cadet or trainee who has made a significant contribution to seafarers' welfare at sea or ashore. The judges described Jarin as "an exceptional example of inspiration and achievement for the maritime com- munity especially for female mariners". Here, she shares her experiences with The Sea.
"For a developing country like Bangladesh, it was taboo for females to sail as seafarers, so it is an honour to be the first Bangladeshi female to serve on a foreign-flagged vessel and represent my country in front of the world.
"During my service as a cadet on a chemical tanker, it was a great experience to work in a multinational environment. My fellow crew members were helpful to me and I learnt a lot and polished my skills. Every day was full of hardships, but I learnt something new, and I felt alive. My entire contract was full of adventure, learning and especially understanding that seafaring is not a job; it's a way of life."
Jarin conveys her gratitude to the master and chief engineer of the Oceanic Crimson as well as her fellow seafarers, who assisted in her learning and in developing her skills. She is keen to pay that support forward to help other women coming into the sector. "As the world's economy is based on seafaring, I want to inspire females to engage in the maritime sector. I strive to develop my skills further and empower women to contribute to the maritime sector of Bangladesh and society as a whole."
Asked about her ambitions for her future career at sea, Jarin says that she plans to work hard with honesty, but she does share some of her concerns about a career at sea. Job security, onboard safety and the unwillingness of some male seafarers to co-operate with female seafarers are the main points she raises.
That said, she would still encourage women to take up a career at sea. "If they have the hunger for winning the sea, as well as belief in the Almighty, knowledge, capacity and confidence, then why shouldn't they get the chance to come into this profession and rule over the sea as a Viking?
"While it may be a physically demanding career, with wisdom and courage women can step up and achieve excellence in their workplace."
Jarin lists two points that could improve the lure of the industry: shorter contract periods and a year-round salary. "This may encourage youngsters who might be planning to join the industry but are uncomfortable with the idea of staying away from their family for several months."

Abstract
Hybridization of closely related plant species is frequently connected to endosperm arrest and seed failure, for reasons that remain to be identified. In this study, we investigated the molecular events accompanying seed failure in hybrids of the closely related species pair Capsella rubella and C. grandiflora. Mapping of QTLs for the underlying cause of hybrid incompatibility in Capsella revealed three QTLs that were close to pericentromeric regions. This prompted us to investigate whether there are specific changes in heterochromatin associated with interspecific hybridizations. Indeed, we found that chromatin was less condensed in the endosperm, while the embryo was not affected. Loss of chromosome condensation was connected with a strong loss of CHG and CHH methylation and mitotic abnormalities. Genome-wide sequencing of hybrid endosperm revealed that the chromosome loss was random and was likely a consequence of reduced chromatin condensation. Consistent with reduced DNA methylation in hybrid endosperm, we found a disproportionate deregulation of genes located close to pericentromeric regions. Among those deregulated genes there were many potential targets of the AGAMOUS-LIKE transcription factor PHERES1, suggesting that reduced DNA methylation allows PHERES1 to hyperactivate its targets. Since the identified QTLs were also associated with pericentromeric regions, we conclude that relaxation of heterochromatin in response to interspecies hybridization exposes and activates loci leading to hybrid seed failure

All Summaries for Midnight Local
When you spend all day in a studio shooting a YouTube series about drinking, things can run off the rails in a hurry, and carefully managing that chaos is vital if you're going to make a show like How to Drink, and that's what Greg & Meredith have done for years. Here at Midnight Local we give into that chaos and let the rails be damned. These are the conversations that make you pause the movie because it just can't wait. Things like how the Hays Code destroyed cinema from 1934 - 1968, why David Lindelof should never be able to hold a pen again, and the fact that Joss Whedon doesn't live up to the morality of his own characters and also has tiny teeth. Midnight Local is a place to get weird about movies and shows and the rest and go beyond the who, what and where.

Dark City, the best film of 1998?
Dark City is a highly critically acclaimed film from 1998, Roger Ebert went as far as to call it the best film of that year. The movie is often compared to the Matrix and remembered fondly by both Greg and Meredith. We aren't so sure that it still holds up but we couldn't stop bringing it up when we discussed The Matrix a few weeks ago and thought it was worth revisiting so we could tell you all about it couldn't talk about Alien without talking about it's arguably superior sequel, Aliens. James Cameron redefines the franchise into an action/adventure packed blockbuster where we see our main characters really fight back against the alien threat. The mother/daughter love story Cameron builds between Ripley and Newt adds a layer of humanity to this movie that everyone can connect withIn this episode we talk about the best space thriller of all time. This is the second Ridley Scott film we have discussed - go back and check out our episode on Blade Runner - so we spend some time talking about other directors who have made their mark and if the position of the director has changed. Also we discuss how Dan O'Bannon creates the most terrifying creatures of all time the Matrix as awesome as we thought it was in 1999. There is no question that bullet time made it's mark on filmmaking but is that the best thing the Matrix left us with? This week we are talking about this and much more are talking about Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure this week, Tim Burton's feature debut. We also dive into the miss information surrounding Paul Reubens and how his signature alter ego came to be. This comedian and the world he created will be very missedThis week we are talking about anime, Miyazaki films and Spirited Away. Somehow we also found ourselves in a conversation about Game of Thrones which we will need to expand upon in a future episodeToday we are talking about Ridley Scott's Cyberpunk masterpiece. With all of the stops and starts, financing issues, and production challenges it is a miracle this movie got made. Turns out we watched different versions of the movie, if you are watching along with us the Director's Cut is the superior choice watched the Netflix doc Muscles and Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators and it brought us back to the golden age of weird fever dream TV. We are talking about Sifl and Olly, Cutlery Corner, UHF and all the other content that was filling time slots in the early days of late night television and cable. Let us know if you agree that the world needs more weird shit on TV againAfter watching the 1989 Batman we thought there was a lot more to talk about, especially when it comes to different versions of the Joker. This week we decided to take a look at The Dark Knight and see how Christopher Nolan's Batman compares to Burton's and how Heath Ledger's Joker compares to Jack Nicholson's. Both are great but is one better than the otherDisney has always reused old IP to make more money, so the "live action" remakes are nothing new, but do they hold up to the originals? In this episode we compare the animated and live action Little Mermaids Keaton the best Batman? Is Jack Nicholson the best Joker? Maybe we will never know for sure but in this episode we breakdown the Batman that changed it all in the search for answersThe 2023 best picture winner sparked a lively debate between Meredith and Greg. Is the movie too long and Oscar bait-y, or is it a beautifully relatable emotional mess? One thing is for sure, it left us with lots to talk aboutMovies are wonderful but there is a lot of fantastic Television out there as well. This episode started out about Columbo and Poker Face (which is heavily inspired by Columbo) but turned into a love letter to Natasha Lyonne and Peter Faulk.

One of the innovation challenges in a big company is trying to work within the gravity well of the major revenue generating offerings while needing to obtain hardware, software and services that probably shouldn't co-exist with those important offerings. You can't spin up a Facebook app server in the same network topology as TurboTax! You probably can't order RFID hardware from the same vendors you use for your blade servers and laptop computers.
But you can't just step outside of the gravity well – there are good reasons for the existence of procurement and hardware exception approval processes.
There are times you can bypass it for small or temporary things, and just act like a startup and put it on your corporate credit card. But then the money might not show up in the proper place on various reports, giving the accounting department a real headache, or you clicked "Agree to terms" when you checked out, but those terms are actually not acceptable to your company.
So you have to work with them and initiate your purchase and exception requests through the system. If it's a great system, then everything flows smoothly, suppliers are found for your stuff, the prices are the best available, and there's no email back and forth to resolve problems.
You probably haven't encountered that nirvana yet. Instead, your odd hardware request can't be fulfilled, so you start on a journey of discovering the people involved in A) getting a proper request created and B) getting the money to the supplier. There is a huge amount of institutional knowledge inside the heads of people who have been around for a while, and especially in functional groups in a big company. You want to spin up a data center server? Talk to this guy. You need to install non-standard hardware? You'll need her to grant an exception. Want to order from a new vendor? Talk to these people, oh, and maybe that guy has a locally-stored Word document you'll need to send to the new vendor.
If you have been in the innovative space for as long as I have, you've definitely encountered these scenarios! And I hope that, like me, you've documented them for future pioneers. I've owned several new, unexplored "routes", including Intuit Labs, Intuit Experimental Hosting, internal wikis and blogs. Those routes are filled with people who need to know, need to approve, or otherwise have some sort of gating role. Using Intuit QuickBase, I created processes that delight the developers and other folks who are using them.
Bottom line: it's okay to have knowledge tied up with a PERSON, but you need to create a PROCESS that will get to that person and let them document the knowledge that they provide.

Absolute dating igneous rocks, you are here
You are here
For example, geologists measured how fast streams deposited sediment, in order to try to calculate how long the stream had been in existence.
Zircon has a very high closure temperature, is resistant to mechanical weathering and is very chemically inert.
Ideally, several different radiometric techniques will be used to date the same rock.
This transformation may be accomplished in a number of different ways, including alpha decay emission of alpha particles and beta decay electron emission, positron emission, or electron capture.
As time passes, the proportion of radioactive isotopes will decrease and the proportion of daughter isotopes will increase.
This in turn corresponds to a difference in age of closure in the early solar system. Relative techniques are of great help in such types of sediments. United States Geological Survey.
Navigation menu
Magmas produced in this way are regarded as recycled crust, whereas others extracted by partial melting of the mantle below are considered primary. Radiocarbon dating is also simply called Carbon dating. The number of neutrons, however, without money dating sites is variable.
Magmas produced by the melting of older crust can be identified because their zircons commonly contain inherited older cores. Rocks converted to new mineral assemblages because of changing temperatures and pressures are called metamorphic. Absolute dating allows rock units formed at the same time to be identified and reassembled into ancient mountain belts, which in many cases have been disassociated by subsequent tectonic processes.
Relative ages also can be deduced in metamorphic rocks as new minerals form at the expense of older ones in response to changing temperatures and pressures. Index fossils contained in this formation can then be matched to fossils in a different location, providing a good age measurement for that new rock formation as well. Techniques include tree rings in timbers, radiocarbon dating of wood or bones, and trapped-charge dating methods such as thermoluminescence dating of glazed ceramics. When a rock is formed, it contains a certain number of radioactive atoms.
To date past events, processes, formations, and fossil organisms, geologists employ a variety of techniques. Give four examples of radioactive materials that are used to date objects, and explain how each is used. Other ancient volcanic units document various cycles of mountain building.
Determine the age of fossils, rocks, or ancient monuments. The results suggest that the present-day global tectonic scheme was operative in the distant past as well. The thick, dating gujarati light-colored part of each ring represents rapid spring and summer growth. Dikes that cross fault boundaries may even be found.
Absolute Ages of Rocks As we learned in the previous lesson, index fossils and superposition are effective methods of determining the relative age of objects. Radiometric dating is also used to date archaeological materials, including ancient artifacts. Start Your Free Trial Today. The precision of a dating method depends in part on the half-life of the radioactive isotope involved. The comparison helps establish the relative age of these remains.
Absolute dating
As a substance ages, the relative amount of carbon decreases. This field is known as thermochronology or thermochronometry. To understand how this is done, it is necessary to review some facts about atoms. Potassium is a common element found in many minerals such as feldspar, mica, and amphibole.
Absolute dating Science Learning Hub
Igneous rocks provide perhaps the most striking examples of relative ages. Relative geologic ages can be deduced in rock sequences consisting of sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock units. Thus an igneous or metamorphic rock or melt, which is slowly cooling, does not begin to exhibit measurable radioactive decay until it cools below the closure temperature. The concentrations of several radioactive isotopes carbon, potassium, uranium and and their daughter products are used to determine the age of rocks and organic remains. Rocks of this kind in the ancient record may very well have resulted from rapid uplift and continent collision.
Pillow shapes are formed as basaltic lava is extruded i. Even the shapes formed on the erosional or depositional surfaces of the ancient seafloor can be used to tell which way was up. Some nuclides are inherently unstable. This then can be used to deduce the sequence of events and processes that took place or the history of that brief period of time as recorded in the rocks or soil.
Carbon is radioactive and is found in tiny amounts. Geodesy Geomagnetism Geophysical survey Seismology Tectonophysics. Using several different isotopes helps scientists to check the accuracy of the ages that they calculate. The precise measure of geologic time has proven to be the essential tool for correlating the global tectonic processes that have taken place in the past. Absolute dating, also called numerical dating, arranges the historical remains in order of their ages.
Radiometric dating can only be used on materials that contain measurable amounts of radioactive materials and their daughter products. Another example of yearly layers is the deposition of sediments in lakes, especially the lakes that are located at the end of glaciers. Precise dating of such dikes can reveal times of crustal rifting in the past. Chemistry in Everyday Life. Without absolute ages, investigators could only determine which fossil organisms lived at the same time and the relative order of their appearance in the correlated sedimentary rock record.
For example, if a sedimentary rock layer is sandwiched between two layers of volcanic ash, its age is between the ages of the two ash layers. The fission tracks produced by this process are recorded in the plastic film. Facts about Thomas Edison. Some method of correlating rock units must be found.
Lesson Objectives
The global tectonic rock cycle
In regions outside the tropics, trees grow more quickly during the warm summer months than during the cooler winter. On occasion, however, deformation may have caused the rocks of the crust to tilt, for perhaps to the point of overturning them. Samples are exposed to neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
Geochronology
Lesson Objectives Define the difference between absolute age and relative age. In fact, they constitute an essential part in any precise isotopic, or absolute, dating program. One of the most widely used and well-known absolute dating techniques is carbon or radiocarbon dating, which is used to date organic remains. The timing of cycles involving the expulsion of fluids from deep within the crust can be ascertained by dating new minerals formed at high pressures in exposed deep crustal sections.
Another possibility is spontaneous fission into two or more nuclides. Closure temperatures are so high that they are not a concern. Droughts and other variations in the climate make the tree grow slower or faster than normal, which shows up in the widths of the tree rings. Oscillation ripple marks, for example, deschanel zooey dating are produced in sediments by water sloshing back and forth.

The world's glitziest film festival, Cannes was launched in 1946 when France was still recovering from World War II. Since 2010, an independent award called the Queer Palm has been given to LGBTQ-relevant films entered in the film festival. Main screenings at the Palais des Festivals are only for accredited professionals, but you can join in public screenings on the beach, parties and rubber-necking the film stars and other Beautiful People. It's easy enough to commute from Nice where hotels are much less expensive

Abstract:
In light of unprecedented population growth and changing climate, there is rising demand on agricultural resources for increased production. One area of particular interest is the role of soil microbial communities in facilitating nutrient cycling and availability, which may in turn enhance crop yields. Given the importance of maize in meeting global food demands, we investigated the diversity and variability of the maize-associated soil microbiome. Drawing from publically available databases, we surveyed 16S rRNA sequences across geographic locations, and under an array of management practices. Initial results suggest that soil characteristics derived from geological history, as well as human-mediated disturbance (e.g. tillage and crop rotation management) act as drivers of microbial community structure. Understanding diversity in the maize-associated soil microbiome is an important step for future work that aims to elucidate the functional roles of microbes in agroecosystems. More broadly, characterizing this diversity is crucial for addressing how crop-associated soil microbial communities may facilitate resiliency and promote sustainability in agroecosystems.

Thanks! I think I see what you mean, but to my knowledge, none of the hand planes manufactured today and in the past have such a "shim", the sole is usually dead flat. I don't know if it would have a real practical purpose or not, since the blade depth is so shallow anyway (unlike on a jointer/planer for example)

Abiah: An Artist Reimagined
It's not often that an established artist gains the freedom to reinvent himself during the course of his career. Yet this is exactly what solo vocalist Jeremiah accomplished when he re-emerged onto the scene as Abiah in 2012. It is in the transformation from Jeremiah to Abiah that this story of courage and destiny unfolds. It is the tale of a life devoted to the mastery of music and vocal performance. It embodies a coming into maturity as a professional singer long after his formative years were devoted to the study of classical music and mimicking the sacred tonality of soulstress Anita Baker. But the journey to this point in Abiah's career has been no cakewalk. He was fortunate to experience critical success as a vocalist early in life, having graced the stage of an opera house in Northern Italy then making his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 21. He sang background for iconic artists such as George Michael and Yolanda Adams before being courted by major labels to sign his first recording contract, every artist's dream. Only, as the age old story goes, that deal turned out to be exactly the wrong move for Jeremiah, artistically and in regards to business. Compromises were made that didn't sit well with his intuition and as a result he spent years fighting to get himself out of that contract.
All of this set the stage for the emergence of the indie artist Abiah. Performing these days solely under his surname, being of Ghanaian heritage, Jeremiah Abiah is completely settled into the profound purpose he's developed throughout this transformation. It was a phone call from a family member, who just so happens to be renowned jazz pianist Robert Glasper, that set the ball in motion to creating his first masterpiece, Life As A Ballad. The creative collaboration with Glasper and the band they put together gave him the confidence to form his own record label and find distribution for that album. Life As A Ballad is the first time as a recording artist that he was able to trust his creative gut and inner voice, a step he says is the most powerful thing that he could have done. Completing that project restored his faith in himself, trusting that what he brings to the table as an artist is enough. And what he brings, in the tradition of, say, Nina Simone or even John Mayer, is a legitimate, high caliber musical experience that leaves space for an audience to decide for itself what genre he falls under. Following 2012's Life As A Ballad was the 2014 re-release of his debut album Chasing Forever, which originally came out in 2006. All of this further solidified his coming into his own as the creator of conceptual and often times autobiographical songs with a certain authentic message.
Now that Abiah is in full swing as the artist he was destined to become, he returns this spring with his third independent album, Bottles. Much of the controlled vocal range and richness of delivery, as well as the poignant lyrical songwriting found on his two previous albums, is showcased on this project. The title comes from the introspective thought, "Are you content with your content?" Drawing a parallel between the pourable contents of a bottle and the inner qualities of man, Abiah confronts with the questions: What's in your bottle? We all contain something, what are you choosing to fill yourself up with? Remarking on his own bottled fortitude, he explains, "I want to fill up with love, and pour out love to other people." Every day as a vocal instructor he is pouring into artists about the technique of singing. He's pouring the ability to create meaningful work with each project he produces. He fills up with knowledge and expresses his faith as the main source of his contained gift. When asked what themes resonate with the songs he's written for Bottles, he replies, "Forgiveness, peace, love. About God. I want to fill God's presence in my life. That informs how I pour out everyday."
And out of that faith manifested one of the biggest miracles of this Bottles project, the artwork itself. Years earlier, while filming a music video at Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn, he was walking and saw a landfill where shards of glass cluttered the surrounding area. As he walked, the sound of the water hitting the empty bottles created a musicality that evoked the name of his yet-to-be-written album. For four years he had been living with the title, praying and meditating on how to conceptualize it for the nine songs he would later write. When the album was complete, he started looking for inspiration for the cover art. Searching through photographs, he was drawn to a picture with tons of bottles, an image that spoke directly to him. Upon contacting the artist, he realized that these were very special bottles that, it turns out by mere happenstance, were collected in Dead Horse Bay where he'd gotten the inspiration for the album title. The connection brought him to tears as he was so in tune to the spirit of his calling. This powerful moment has become a testament to the right direction in which Abiah is continually led. And as the re-imagining further develops, audiences will receive the blessings of which he pours

7. Where did the universe come from?
Having written several thousand words in response to these questions already. I'm tempted to be terse:
We don't know, and neither do you.
Of course, you've come all this way, so I might as well make it worth the trip for you.
The question itself has several problems with it. As the physicist Wolfgang Pauli "It's not even wrong." By that I mean that the question is not posed in such a way that it's even possible to give an answer. If you ignore the weirdness of quantum mechanics and focus on just General Relativity (one of the most well established theories in science) then when you trace back the history of the universe you arrive at a point where time and space stop. Asking "where" is meaningless because when you are creating a universe (meaning you have no universe yet) there is no "where" in which anything can happen. It gets slightly worse because "happen" means something changing with time but, there would seem to be a time before which there was no time. Stephen Hawking makes the analogy of asking what happened before the big bang is like standing at the south pole and then asking for directions "south". Now if you try to include Quantum Mechanics back into things what you will get is something so grotesquely removed from our intuitions that language in general is useless and the only people who would be able to speak intelligently on the subject are those who have dedicated their lives to the study of ridiculously complicated physics.
So this is where the "and neither do you" part comes from.
But just because we are ignorant of the very beginning (which is why you see people working on the problem all over the world instead of claiming to have an answer they don't) doesn't mean we don't know an awful lot about the universe past, present and future. One thing which is very clear is that the universe is extremely big, extremely old and that we are extremely insignificant. If there is a god behind things with a purpose in mind, that purpose is not us. Actually, when you think about the mind boggling size of the cosmos, if there were a god checking up on things, it's not even clear how he would have even noticed we had evolved yet. It's much more likely he doesn't even know we're here yet.
And if a god existed, and were revealing stuff to us, it's slightly odd that no holy book or creation myth ever gets the size, scale, age or history of the universe remotely right. Most of them have the earth being at the centre of the universe. A few of them (even the bible) hint that the earth is flat. None of them seem to realize that the sun is bigger than the earth or that we revolve around it, not the other way around. Genesis has the order that things were created in completely wrong, and also puts water in the wrong places. We never get any kind of hint about what stars are made of, or how far away they are. You would think a god would be slightly more knowledgeable about the universe she created.
This is the shortest answer so far so I want to take a moment to address a point of simple logic. When we operate on intuition and instinct, we typically only have enough brainpower to spare to deal with two options at a time. The logic seems straightforward and appealing. It must be either A or B. It isn't A so it must be B.
But the universe is not so simple. If you are going to do the argument correctly (ignoring the irritating case of both A and B) it should read. It must be either A or B or X, where X is an alternative I haven't thought of yet. It's not A, so it must be either B or X. But since X is a thing I haven't thought of yet, I can't actually check to see that it's not X. This is the problem of living in a complicated universe. You never know with absolute certainty you won't find out about a new option tomorrow and have to throw out your old solution.
This is the well known logical fallacy of the false dichotomy. Reduce the discussion to two options and say if it's not A, it must be B. (Never mind for now that the religious have no compelling case for not A.) But as we've seen just now, this is dishonest (or at least slightly confused) because the correct conclusion is "it could be B".
There is a not-so-subtle subtext to all of these questions and once you start to notice it, it becomes incredibly irritating. It says that "If I can find a hole in your position, I must be right by default." The assumption that "Christianity is assumed to be true until proven otherwise" is simply an elementary logic error.
The compliment however is correct. It is reasonable to believe that no god exists until you see credible evidence that she does. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that leprechauns, Darth Vader, Pokemon, Lord Voldemort and Sponge Bob do not exist and it would take evidence to convince us that they do. The same is true of god/s.

Uh-Oh... D20 system looms closer and closer...
Since I can't get a straight answer about the Open D6 I'm dropping my SOTU project. I don't want to spend stupid hours typing up the rules only to find that an SRD has been released or the whole Open D6 thing has gone down the shitter. Someone at WEG needs to tell everyone what's going on because the longer the silence the more likely people are going to dump the D6 System and opt for something they can use...
Aaaaand that brings me to the D20 System. With some slight modifications (and, more importantly, simplifications) I can use a cut-down version of the system for my game and still get the whole rules/setting package into 54 pages. I have access to SRDs, the licence is out there and everyone knows what they are doing and all I have to do is copy/paste and edit. I'm not talking about the SOTU setting, I'm talking about something totally new and fantasy-based.
I've done my preliminary research and it looks like D20 is the way to go, modified to cut out the fat and streamline it, more in line with the OD&D stuff that's out there but lose the THACO (blegh) and include a skill list. That way I'm appealing to a large percentage of gamers.
WEG have pretty much lost their window of opportunity for Open D6. With no official word from the guy in charge there's no clarification, and without that I'm not using it.
1 comment:
Even if the whole project goes down the shitter, the D6 rules stay licensed under the OGL. I don't think there's a way to revoke the license. If you check out the WEG fan forums ( you'll find links to all D6 rulebooks with the OGL attached. There's also a fan-created SRD for the fantady rules: The only problem I see so far is that OpenD6 and the D6 System are still trademarks by WEG and as long as Eric Gibson does not release a OpenD6 trademark license you cannot refer to OpenD6, D6 System or WEG in any way. But I think the fan community will keep the system itself alive, even if the official OpenD6 project dies. Perhaps you should reconsider dropping your SOTU project after

8, 2011 - 04:14 pm I'm wondering about a regional common market including some neighboring countries with negative profit/loss. Should this be a REAL concern? Specifically, will it negatively affect the economies of the other CM members? And how so?
Friday, April 8, 2011 - 10:04 pm Their economy shouldnt effect anything. Common markets are just a contract processing center. Only thing might go wrong is they cant fufil all the contract so you may need to go to world market. Careful how you use common markets, remember, anything you sell on contract you arent making a mark up over the going price, so like you cant charge 250 for 220Q products, only 220.
Saturday, April 9, 2011 - 04:13 am You can. OK this is only the way I do it, there are many others: See, mostly you wont want to buy anything at top quality (300 ish), your country should buy at 100 and your upgraded corps probably about 160, less than 200 anyway. And to add into this equation that most corps will need to produce at high quality to make a profit, you get the paradox of either paying far too much for your home grown product or your corps get cheaper supply but cant make much profit. I doubt you will get all you need or sell all you make in a common market so the profit to be made through selling on the world market has been sacrificed. (Am I making sense ?). Basically not many people, especially new people, make much profit by using contracts of any sort. There are ways of getting it to work by selective supply to your corps, eg. low quality expensive things your corp uses a lot of and high quality cheap things, so the average supply quality is about right at minimum cost. Generally known as ASQ (average supply quality), search the forums for 'wildeyes leaving guide' (forum has a search facility) to see more on how this works though wildeyes herself admits it may be slightly out of date.

American Morkshire Terrier history
"The American Morkshire Terrier aka "Morkshire Terrier" even though a "rare" breed, was created over a period of more than 50 years ago beginning sometime in the early 1970s here in the United States. Followed by Canada, and approximately 20 years later in the United Kingdom."
Early BREED Development
The American Morkshire Terrier and its' origin dates back to before 1970's. First emerging in early 1970's, with facts concerning their origin presented in modern books, as being unknown. According to many present-day fanciers and owners, the Morkshire Terrier were the result of a number of breeds being bred together to produce the desired low-shedding coat, lovable companion lap dog and adorable traits. The name "Morkshire Terrier" is the original name used in reference to this breed and has spread over the years, with several given nick names, "Malki" pronounced (Mal-Ki), "Malkie" pronounced (Mal-Kee), "Morkshire" pronounced (Mork-Shire), and lastly the "Morkie" pronounced (Mor-Key) used in more recent years. The American Morkshire Terrier Club has kept the original name given to this breed, since it originated in America and its' official "Rare" breed name is the "American Morkshire Terrier."
A period of over 50 years ago, earlier fanciers accounting from various U.S states and different countries would have bred from a Maltese, a totally white breed lacking any color markings, a Yorkshire Terrier a breed with blue or black & tan markings, a Toy Poodle, a breed with black, gray, red, cream, white, fawn, gold, yellow and brown (liver) color markings, and a Biewer, a breed with blue or black, white and gold markings. According to DNA evidence, by way of genetic testing of this breed on record, the Rat Terrier, a breed of white, black, tan, blue, chocolate, sable, apricot, fawn, lemon, red and silver color markings also had some influence in the Morkshire Terrier breed development and can still be found in a very-few lines (5% or less). Today, the purebred American Morkshire Terrier bloodlines bred by AMTC fanciers do not have any Poodle or Rat Terrier within their bloodlines.
Other earlier fanciers involved in producing the foundation of this breed was a breeder out of California who acquired her first Morkshire Terrier, she called a "Morkshire" in 1970 from a friend, then acquired another and began breeding the two keeping a pup from each of her litters and has been breeding the Morkshire Terrier to Morkshire Terrier since the late 1970s. Meanwhile another fancier, Alison located in the United Kingdom has been breeding the Morkshire Terrier she called a "Malki" for over 28 years. Alison states' that, "she was given a bitch pup, as a 30th birthday present in early 1990, she named, "Polly." Polly was described as a "gold" - rich yellow, Malki that she found to be the "Best dog she had ever owned." Alison further states' that she then acquired another Malki in mid 1990s from another breeder in the UK and kept back a pup from different litters she bred and that "Polly lived to be 22 years old" and "had produced many litters during her life time." Alison also stated' that her Malkis' – "breed to type"- explained that "They all characteristically look the same" with the exception to "color" and the majority of her litters range in colors from black & tan, to what she referred to as, an apricot color - explained as a rich gold (yellow), and pure white - as her lines "did not" and "do not" have the "parti-color" (explained as white markings). How the American Morkshire Terrier was discovered visithere.
Modern Morkshire's
Modern American morkshire puppies
American Morkshire Appearance
American Morkshire Terriers range from about 4 to 15 pounds and stand 8 to 11 inches at the shoulder. They have a single coat, meaning, the breed only has a top coat. You can see American Morkshire Terriers with two different ear set types; down ears and up ears. They come in a variety of colors with common ground (solid) coat colors in: black, tan (beige), gold (referred as a rich gold or yellow), white, liver (chocolate), and be a combination of these colors of a pied "piebald" pattern. As the dog ages (in some cases) the black coat can appear to look a silver or gray and even appear to look a dark steel blue as an adult due to their ancestral influence. This breed has a long natural tail that curls over its back. American Morkshire Terrier's are an abundantly confident, energetic and loyal breed that's "full of life". They are very loving, sweet-natured, and an all-around gentle breed that make wonderful therapy dogs. They are highly intelligent and want nothing more, but to be with and please their owners. American Morkshire Terriers have a life expectancy of about 15-22 years and can have a litter size of about 3 to 6 puppies. As with any breed there are differences in personality from dog to dog and the American Morkshire Terrier is no different, but in general this breed is described as above. For the Full Breed Standard visit here. The American Morkshire Terrier is a very healthy breed but as with any breed of dog there may be health concerns that can occur and are described on the health page here. *Updated 06/01/2022
*The American Morkshire Terrier is an old, but new upcoming 'rare' breed that is just now getting recognition. The American Morkshire Terrier is currently recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA), the American Dog Federation FSS (ADF), and by several Canine Genetic Labs & Organizations, the Animal Genetics, the ACCU-Metrics Viaguard, the Wisdom Health ~ Optimal Selection, and the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA). AKC recognition is one of AMTC's goals for this dog breed, and as this breed continues to get recognition this list of recognized organizations will continue to grow.*

SuperStorm Sandy – How Hurricanes Blow You Away
I watched the NOVA special on "SuperStorm Sandy." One man described perfectly what happens in a hurricane. He said he was in his house when "suddenly my sliding glass doors all blew in, then the roof came off and the walls collapsed."
He ended up swimming to a car where he survived the remainder of the storm. His story confirms the findings of "Project Safe Windows" the study of the four hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004.
Once the glass blows in, wind pressure forces UPLIFT on the roof, blowing it off. Then the walls have no support and collapse. One engineer told me that the uplift from a hole in the window could be over 50,000 lbs.!
Check out the NOVA special at the above link. It also describes how the WARMER WATER – the Atlantic was 5 degrees above normal – adds more fuel to these storms, making them BIGGER.
It means that we MUST HARDEN our structures to withstand these superstorms. That's what Armor Glass does – it armors your weakest link, your windows….

When I was younger I loved taking my clothes off and lucky for me I had a lot of time to play naked. However we moved to a new apartment and I didn't have as much opportunity to play naked as I used to, then around when I started puberty my brother stayed the night at friends house and before bed my mom took a bath and I realized I pretty much had the house to myself. Of course the first thing I wanted to do was play naked like I used to, but as soon as I thought of it I started to get an erection and by the time I was naked I was completely erect. I did the same things as I always did, run around and jump, because I was alone with nobody to see me I didn't care about that I was running around with my penis standing up.
Then because I always wanted to know what it felt like to be naked outside the closest I could try was standing by an open window with my waist below sight, I remember getting particularly excited when I waved to a couple friends that walked by knowing that I was completely naked and they had no idea. Lastly I wanted to look at my self in the mirror, I still had a cute slender body the biggest difference between the last time I posed in front of the mirror was that I had started to grow pubic hair that I thought looked good and my penis was noticably bigger. Then as I looked I noticed clear sticky stuff was leaking out of my penis but I didn't really think about it. Then I figured my mom would be getting out of the bath soon so I went to get dressed again, I laid down on my bed before I started to get dressed I was enjoying the feeling of laying in my bed naked when I started to notice a tingling sensation and my penis started twitching and I suddenly came all over my stomach I wasn't sure what happened but I cleaned myself up and got dressed,
Afterwards I couldn't wait to get naked again so I could feel that again, even taking baths multiple times a day. If anything puberty only added to the excitement of getting naked.
I don't understand why it is a big deal... I mean, it's just a pennis. I am always nude at home with my son and daughter and yes, my son frequently has a full erection but he's a teen, it's just normal for that to happen... Or am I supposed to cover my breasts just because my nipples got hard? C'mon, cut the kid some slack
My son is 13 and my daughter is 14. Both have entered puberty, and both were a little body conscious at the beginning of puberty. My son has erections all the time while we are out. I tell him not to worry about it. If one happens, he should just come find me or walk to our seat. Now, he's more comfortable with himself, and erections happen less. As for my daughter, I told her she could wear underwear when she's on her period, but she chooses not to. She just wears a tampon our.
That can be a tough nut to crack.
My daughter was raised as a nudist and spent much of her preteen years naked with us at home or at the resort. Then puberty kicked in fast and early. She quickly went to a happy naked kid to a very self-conscious reluctant kid. She still went nude with us as a matter of habit; but it was clear she wasn't as enthusiastic about socializing and playing naked as she once was.
We had an open door policy at home; so when she then started closing doors to change or bathe, I was concerned. I brought it up with my wife, who told me nudity had become a problem for her; and the only reason she still went nude was so that I wouldn't be disappointed with her. So I decided to have a chat with her one day after we'd came home and got naked as usual. She pretended to be comfortable sitting naked in front of me but it was quite clear she wasn't. Looking at her I realized how much her body had changed, seemingly overnight. She now had breasts and pubic hair; and she was quite aware of the fact that she didn't look quite the same anymore. I told her I wouldn't be disappointed in her if she didn't want to be naked around me as much; and I could tell she was relieved.
Her Mom and I tried to find ways to get her comfortable with her changing body for a while. But to no avail; she completely lost interest in being nude in front of other people.
This scenario is fairly common with girls who develop prematurely. My daughter had been around nudist teen girls, so she knew what to expect as she grew older. But I think it happened for her so quickly that she just wasn't prepared for it. I've seen other nudist girls who had less issues with puberty; often because they had close nudist girl friend or siblings they grew up with.
We started going to a local nudist resort while our kids were young. We noticed that when our son entered puberty that he was reluctant to go with us. We were all usually nude at home so had noticed that he got erections all the time. My wife told me she didn't mind seeing him erect so nothing was said. When we asked why he didn't want to go anymore he said that he was afraid of getting an erection and the other kids making fun of him. My wife just told him if he felt one coming on to come stand behind her while she got him a towel. He said that sounded easy so he continued going. we never had a problem even when he was to far away and ended up wilking up with a full erection.
Don't know about clubs much but have found that generally on beaches erections on boys under 14 are accepted. Over that they are assumed to be able to control themselves. Although as long as they are not being obnoxious then it is tolerated. Have found that the girls (and women) wear bottoms when having a period. It's a natural part of life, just don't make them feel dirty about it.
If U have a young son, under 16 y/o, and he gets a "stiffy" at a naturist resort - SO what.
He's Be-Cumming a man and all should understand, since they are at a Nudist Resort, OK?
As long he is not trying to "offer it" to any one, get over it and let the boy grow "up".
Generally, erections of younger boys; pre-adolescents are ignored and not an issue since they are mostly the reaction to pleasure or even a little stress. However, once the lad hits adolescence, around 12 and a half or so the erections are not so well received and displaying them is not really acceptable anywhere. You could equate them with nose-picking, farting, zit-bursting and the like.
Firstly, there's nothing wrong with an erection. It's normal and healthy, specially in a teenager. What is wrong is to think it's that because you have an erection you're a pervert or exhibitionist. That's only in the mind of those who have issues themselves. Let's not discourage our boys from nudism by making them feel ashamed of what's natural.
I was brought up to belive erections are normal and a healthy part of life.... I think its the best way to be. I'm raising my kids up with the same beliefs. erections are nothing to be ashamed or embarressed of
The most important thing to teach a young man dealing with erections at a nudist venue is still maintaining respect and civil behavior towards others when this happens. I mean, because there might be times when a towel is not as handy or jumping in the pool or hot tub is NOT reasonable and in-line with his current activities.
I believe we want teenagers to grow up viewing the body's reactions to its environment as normal, as so what is a young man to do if he becomes aroused while playing volleyball? While playing horseshoes or during a three-legged race while tied to a partner? There are the types of scenarios where stopping what you are doing is inconvenient and a towel is probably not handy.
The other advice given in response to this question is very good, but I wanted to add my perspective as well because I believed a few situations where overlooked!
Enjoy yourself, be yourself and respect yourself!
Young men should simply know not to going waving an erection around like a "flag" and to really conduct themselves as gentlemen even IF they become physically aroused.
We have been to both types of resorts and find it's just a matter of respecting the rules wherever you go. We have found it more comfortable to go places where there is total freedom and everyone can be themselves
It probably depends on the resort but a generally accepted course of action when one goes erect and the management has issues with it is to either cover it up(towel should be handy anyway), roll over and get some sun on the back, or to get in the pool/hot tub.
I beleive that not all nudist venues have issues with erections and when in your own space it is of course only your business. Kids usually get very self consious at that stage anyway and it's dificult to tell ahead what the effects of puberty will be on him. On the other hand , giving him a chance to realise that it is normal and all part of his becoming an adult can't be a bad course of action.

Can a mutual fund juggle share price to cover the front end cost? Specifically, Class A funds?
If you look at mutual fund prices in either The Wall Street Journal or Investors Business Daily, you will see several different prices for the same mutual fund among it's different share classes. The A share price will include the mark up for the commission paid to the seller. If there is a Class B share, that price will be slightly lower and the Class C share will be the lowest of the three. All will have the same Net Asset Value (NAV); the price difference in the quote is the bookkeeping difference in the way sales charges are passed on to a buyer. Since mutual funds are a registered investment, there is no legal way for a management company to "juggle share price". Such an act would be a violation of securities law and would result in significant financial penalties for any company convicted of such activity.
Mutual fund share prices are not negotiable for retail investors. The fund's net assets are valued daily and that's the price. When buying A shares on a commission basis, mutual fund families generally offer discounts ("breakpoints") at which you'll pay a lower commission to buy their fund. Instead of paying a commission to an investment broker, perhaps consider (1) using no-load funds if you're a do-it-yourself investor, or (2) working with an adviser who'll actually manage your portfolio using lower-cost investments. While your A share purchases are not negotiable, depending on your situation you may have some "fee flexibility" with a genuine investment adviser

Amazon India reportedly copied products and rigged search results
Amazon's India division engaged in a systematic campaign of copying items sold by third-party sellers and then manipulated search results to favor its own products, according to a Reuters report Wednesday that cites internal documents.
In a 2016 document, titled "India Private Brands Program," Amazon's private label team in India detailed how it would review sales and customer review data to identify "reference brands" to replicate, according to the article.
In one case, Amazon employees noticed an uptick in returns of a shirt made by one of its private-label clothing brands due to sizing issues, Reuters said. The team reportedly found an outselling brand and revised the fit of its shirt to match that brand's measurements.
Amazon teams in India also worked to boost the company's private label products in search results, using a technique called "search seeding" and "sparkles," according to Reuters. "Search seeding" allowed Amazon to ensure that new products were the second or third result in search queries, while "sparkles" are banners that are located above search results, Reuters reported.
High-ranking Amazon executives, including Diego Piacentini, who previously led the company's international business, and Russell Grandinetti, senior VP of international consumer, were aware of the business practices in India, Reuters said. Piacentini reported to founder and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos, and Grandinetti is part of an influential team of key executives overseen by CEO Andy Jassy.
Reuters' findings directly contradict Amazon's previous messaging around how it develops its private label products. For many years, Amazon has launched its own private-label goods under the AmazonBasics branding, which offers everything from furniture to clothing. It also offers private label products under other brand names.
Businesses that hawk their wares on Amazon have previously questioned how the retail giant comes up with its own products, with some alleging Amazon directly knocked off their goods.
Amazon executives including Bezos have maintained it's against company policy to use data from third-party merchants to build future products. Bezos told a congressional committee in July 2020 that Amazon has a policy that safeguards seller data from employee access.
"If we found someone violated it, we would take action," Bezos said at the time.
Representatives from Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment
Microsoft doesn't make a lot of money off of hardware, and it has a poor track record with phones. While the Windows Mobile operating system was popular before the iPhone launched in 2007, the company's hardware has never caught on with consumers the way iPhones or Samsung phones have. The Surface Duo 2 probably won't change that narrative, since its design and price will only attract a niche audience. Microsoft likely won't sell a ton of these.
But the Surface Duo 2 offers something unique that you don't get with any other phone on the market. It has two screens that can run different apps side by side. The company thinks people can be more productive with the Surface Duo 2. I'm not sure I'm more productive with the Surface Duo 2. I still take out my laptop when I need to get work done. But it's novel, fun to use and actually works this time.
Here's what you need to know about the Surface Duo 2.
What's good
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
The Surface Duo 2 is like a shiny glass Moleskine notebook with chrome accents. Like the first iteration, it looks high end, with two thin halves that fold together into a tiny notebook. It opens up to reveal two large 5.8-inch screens that, used together, offer 8.3 inches of space to run two apps side by side or to span a single app, like Outlook, across both.
The displays are slightly bigger than last year, so you have more space for apps. I have the black model, which looks great, but it gets covered in fingerprints. So you may want to consider the white version instead.

Todd Haselton | CNBC
Microsoft addressed nearly all of the hardware complaints last year. The 2020 Surface Duo lacked a lot of features of competing high-end devices. The Duo 2 has the same Qualcomm chip as other top Android phones, instead of a slightly older one. It has support for faster 5G cellular networks — great for streaming games or downloading a movie before you hop on a flight once the Covid pandemic ends — and also adds NFC support, which I use all the time for mobile payments.

Todd Haselton | CNBC
Last year's Surface Duo launched with terribly buggy software. It was slow to open apps, the screens wouldn't respond if you tried to flip it back into the single-screen mode, and the camera didn't always work the way it was supposed to. Microsoft addressed a lot of those bugs. The Surface Duo 2 feels fast and apps open the way I expect them to. I still ran into occasional bugs where a video would temporarily run upside down, but it often fixed itself in seconds.

Todd Haselton | CNBC
The Surface Duo 2 can be a joy to use. It's not always as convenient as an iPhone or a regular Android phone, which has just one screen and is quicker to access. But, I love that I can prop up the Surface Duo 2 and watch CNBC on my desk while I'm working on my computer, or read a book in the Amazon Kindle app with a page on each display.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
I enjoyed chatting with friends on one side of the screen while reading a news article on the other. And I liked playing games with Xbox Game Pass with a connected Xbox controller, or with the added touch-screen buttons that appear on one screen while the game appears on the other. It's just a really unique experience you won't get anywhere else. The closest comparison is Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3, though the inside of that phone is a single full screen so the Fold is better for watching movies.
Microsoft also added stereo speakers, which were missing last year. That means it sounds like the audio is coming from both sides of the phone, instead of just one side, and it made a difference while watching videos.

Todd Haselton | CNBC
And, like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3, it supports pen input. I used the Surface Slim Pen 2 ($129.99), which is convenient for taking notes or just sketching. That same pen works with the Surface Pro computers, so you may already own one (or an earlier model).
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
I don't need a pen often, but it's useful to have for when I need to sign something for my child's day care. It's useful for scrolling around apps and moving through emails, too. I recommend also considering the Surface Duo 2 Pen Cover, which protects only the front glass of the Duo 2 but holds and charges the pen with a magnet.
What's bad
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
While the Surface 2 Duo is a breath of fresh air in a sea of phones that mostly look the same, it's also just not terribly convenient if you need to just quickly send a text message or make a phone call. You have to open it to answer a call, for example. You could always just leave it folded back, but it seems like it's better to keep those big displays protected by keeping it closed. The Surface Duo 2 makes sense as a secondary device, maybe one that you mostly use for work and watching TV, but while still also owning an iPhone or a separate Android phone. Sort of like a portable tablet that fits in your pocket. It's how I spent a lot of time with it.
I appreciate that Microsoft bends the screens ever so slightly over the hinge so that you can see icons representing notifications on the side, or an incoming call, or how charged the battery is, but it only lights up when a new notification comes in. So, you have to crack open the phone to see your alerts. And the battery charging indicator doesn't stay on the whole time it's plugged in, so you need to unplug and plug it back in again to see how charged it is (or open it). Microsoft could fix this by allowing the hinge to respond to a tap, lighting up the slim screen to give a status update.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
Last year's Surface Duo had a camera that wasn't very great for much outside of video chat. Microsoft addressed those complaints by adding three additional cameras to the back, including a wide-angle, an ultra-wide angle for fitting more into a picture and a zoom lens. The cameras are fine, but they're still not as good as what you'd get on phones that cost hundreds of dollars less, like the regular iPhone 13 or the Samsung Galaxy S21. There's a split-second delay when you take a photo, so I often missed my son smiling before he moved on to do something else. Or the picture would turn out blurry. Those are issues that are normally fixed in software updates, so it's not a huge concern. But you should be getting a much better camera on a $1,500 phone.

Todd Haselton | CNBC
My bigger concern is that it's just weird taking pictures with the Surface Duo 2. You have to hold it with both screens open, so it's sort of like taking pictures with a book. It'd be useful to have a tiny screen on the front that could be used as a viewfinder and to show small notifications. The good news is the colors in pictures are far better than last year's single lens, which often produced really washed-out images.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
There's a gap when you fold one screen back onto the other, since the camera lenses pop out. It makes the Surface Duo 2 a little fatter to hold in single-screen mode, but it's not as bad as it might seem. Microsoft did a nice job angling the camera lenses so they rest against the back panel, and it still feels sturdy despite the extra gap.
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
I like that I can expand apps like Outlook to span across both displays, to see messages on one side and the contents of an email on the other. But even other apps that are designed for spanning across both screens don't always look great. Some content is cut off by the hinge in the middle, for example. Other apps do a better job, like a new TikTok app, which shows you what's trending on one side and a video on the other. I'd like to see more apps add support for both screens, but I don't think developers are going to be incentivized to do it if millions of people aren't using this phone.
Lastly, the Surface Duo 2 doesn't support wireless charging and isn't as water-resistant as most expensive phones are. I hope to see Microsoft add those features next year.
Should you buy it?
Microsoft Surface Duo 2
Todd Haselton | CNBC
The Surface Duo 2 is way better than Microsoft's first attempt. It isn't a mass-market phone for most people, but it's worth a look if you're looking for something more unique than a regular phone or think it might be useful to run two apps side by side. I prefer the flexibility of Samsung's more expensive $1,800 Galaxy Z Fold 3, and appreciate that phone's water resistance, so you should also give that a look.
Sam Altman's Worldcoin wants to scan your eyes in exchange for crypto
It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie — metallic orbs that scan people's eyes to pay them in digital currency.
That's what tech investor Sam Altman has been working on for his new start-up, a company called Worldcoin. Launched out of "stealth" on Thursday, Worldcoin promises to hand out free cryptocurrency to people who verify their accounts by taking an iris scan.
Altman, CEO of artificial intelligence group OpenAI and former president of start-up accelerator Y Combinator, co-founded the company with theoretical physics student Alex Blania and Max Novendstern, a former investment associate at Bridgewater Associates.
The idea seems outlandish at first. Free money? And all I need to do is have my eyes scanned? It sounds too good to be true.
However, Worldcoin's founders say it's about expanding the reach of cryptocurrencies — and financial services more broadly — to the masses. Less than 3% of the global population are crypto users, according to virtual currency exchange Crypto.com.
"Cryptocurrency is a very powerful thing," Blania, Worldcoin's CEO, told CNBC. "It will widen the boundaries of the economy in general and give many people access."
How it works
Worldcoin has already shipped its orb-shaped devices to people in 12 countries. Testers get users to sign up by having their iris scanned. The image is then encrypted and becomes a unique code, while the original data is deleted to protect users' privacy. Following that, users are given a free share of Worldcoin's cryptocurrency.

"We designed the whole system to be fundamentally privacy-preserving," Blania said. "The iris code itself is the only thing leaving the orb. There's no big database of biometric data."
The company has so far amassed over 100,000 users globally already, and is onboarding 700 more each week. Worldcoin aims to hit 1 billion users by 2023.
Which raises a big question — how exactly is Worldcoin meant to be used?
Well, one early feature of the project will be a digital wallet that lets users store their crypto and make payments. But more broadly, Blania hopes to attract developers who can build apps on top of its system; apps "that we don't see today and that are really hard to build today because very few people hold crypto."
"Network effects are these very coveted things that are incredibly big," Blania said.
"You see this in Facebook. As soon as you suddenly have a billion people and everyday people holding something like that and using something like that, you as an entrepreneur can build completely new things."
One issue Worldcoin encountered early on, Blania says, is ensuring that people aren't able to cheat the system. He calls this problem "proof of person."
"The only solution for that problem, we found, was to build an orb," Worldcoin's boss said. "It's the most secure and privacy-preserving way we found to prove everyone in the world is unique."
'Infrastructure' for basic income
It's a concept that has parallels to a universal basic income, or UBI, which has been promoted by Altman and several other high-profile figures in tech.
The idea is that, by handing out cash regularly to citizens for free, governments can mitigate the impacts of artificial intelligence and automation on workers.
Blania hinted that Worldcoin could be used as the "infrastructure" to carry out UBI at some point in the future."
Worldcoin co-founders Sam Altman and Alex Blania.

"I'm personally very excited about UBI over the long term," Blania said. "I think it's a very hard thing to implement right now."
"We see ourselves as building this huge network of people where entrepreneurs can jump in and build applications like this. UBI is one of those, but building big financial, global companies is another big one."
Worldcoin isn't the only far-out project Altman has thrown his weight behind. In 2018, the millionaire tech entrepreneur paid $10,000 to a start-up called Nectome to have his brain preserved, scanned and uploaded into a computer simulation.
Crypto boom
Worldcoin has built its system on Ethereum, the blockchain network behind the world's second-largest cryptocurrency. Blania hopes to tap into a fast-growing trend in crypto known as decentralized finance, or DeFi, which seeks to cut the middlemen out of traditional financial processes like lending and investing.
Worldcoin's launch comes at a time of renewed interest in cryptocurrencies as the prices of bitcoin and other digital coins have surged lately. Bitcoin, the world's largest virtual currency, notched a fresh record high above $66,000 on Wednesday, while ether, XRP and other tokens also climbed sharply.
Cryptocurrencies have gained a reputation for their involvement in fraudulent activity, with various pump-and-dump schemes duping amateur investors into buying tokens, only for the creators and insiders to make off with millions. But Blania insists Worldcoin isn't a scam.
"We are extremely transparent about everything we do," he said. "We will open source everything that is possible to open source."

A healthy 44-year-old Indian man who exercises regularly, has normal cholesterol and blood pressure, and who smokes and drinks only occasionally should not have to worry about a heart attack. On paper, everything looked fine. His doctor found no cause for putting him on statins to lower his cholesterol.
However a family history found that his brother already had a heart attack, his mother had three stents implanted to open her vessels, and three uncles had died from a heart attack before age 60. When the patient agreed to have a coronary CT scan, the results showed that one of the vessels near his heart was almost completely blocked. He received a stent and was put on an aggressive medical regimen.
The question remains: Why him?
The fact is, people from South Asia—India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka—have a four times greater risk of heart disease than the general population and have a much greater chance of having a heart attack before age 50. Heart attacks strike South Asian men and women at younger ages and are more deadly compared to any other ethnic group: Almost a third dies from heart disease before age 65. In India cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death. One study found that South Asians developed heart disease 10 years earlier than other groups,
"South Asian men and women age 20 to 55 are at high risk, show higher mortality rates, and symptoms and risk factors appear to begin earlier," said Rajesh Dash, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of cardiovascular medicine, who spoke at a presentation sponsored by Stanford Hospital Health Library. "They're younger, sicker (at first presentation), and dying earlier."
High Risk Factors Traditional risk factors like diet and lifestyle are a big part of the problem, he said. South Asians tend to be smokers, and the traditional South Asian diet tends to be high in sugar, refined grains, and fatty foods. Many South Asians appear to be insulin resistant, a pre-diabetic condition in which the body does not process insulin efficiently.
"Insulin-resistant patients have similar rates of cardiovascular events as those with full-blown diabetes," Dr. Dash said. "Most people are not normally tested for the condition, but it is especially important for South Asians to be tested. If diagnosed, the condition often can be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes."
Other traditional risk assessments, like body mass index (BMI), appear to be poor predictors for South Asians, who often show a "thin-fat" syndrome where they fall within BMI standards but have more visceral fat—abdominal fat that is more likely to lead to a cardiovascular event. Waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio may be more predictive measurements for this group, who also should aim for a lower overall BMI.
More than one third of South Asian men and 17 percent of South Asian women have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. If more than one of these conditions occur in combination, the risk is even greater. This syndrome is not normally checked during an annual physical exam. South Asians are more likely to have high triglycerides and low HDL (the "good" cholesterol). A variant of HDL known as HDL2b is low in as much as 93 percent of South Asian men and 63 percent of women.
"Despite having a low BMI and low cholesterol, the composition of the cholesterol is abnormal," said Dr. Dash. "A nontraditional assessment is called for."
Focused Attention
Dr. Dash is the medical and scientific director for the Stanford South Asian Translational Heart Initiative (SSATHI), a new program designed to address the unique concerns of the South Asian population. It combines researchers who are looking at genetic and metabolic factors with clinicians who are treating patients and refining screenings for risk.
"Our target is younger people so that we have the opportunity to address and treat symptoms and risks before they develop into cardiovascular disease," he said. "Our mission is to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease through aggressive screening, aggressive treatment, expedited appointments, and long-term follow-up in management and risk reduction. The disease is more aggressive, so we have to treat it that way."
The research team is made up of experts in genetics, imaging, bioinformatics, cardiovascular medicine, heart surgery, and stem cell therapy. They are looking at biomarkers for genetic risk, cardiac fibrosis, drug sensitivity, insulin resistance, and vascular reactivity. In particular, program physicians are looking at nontraditional risk factors like elevated lipoprotein levels, insulin resistance, low HDL2b, and relevant genetic mutations.
The clinical team is focused on risk reduction, prevention, and treatment. Patients first provide a family history and undergo a detailed laboratory evaluation. They are stratified for risk and short-term goals are set. A second visit about two months later includes diet consultation with a South Asian cuisine-trained dietitian, cardiovascular risk scoring, a review of lab test results, and a request to enroll in the program's research trials. A third visit after six months summarizes the research results, tracks compliance, repeats the biomarker screening, and develops a long-term plan. Some patients may continue receiving care through SSATHI, while others may find their risk is sufficiently reduced to continue their care elsewhere.
In time, Dr. Dash hopes to develop partnerships to address the issue at a global scale and expand the program's studies beyond the South Asian population.
"We want to teach people how to protect themselves from cardiovascular disease," Dr. Dash said. "The problem is very real and accelerating. It's a troubling trend that has not been addressed sufficiently and one that needs to be addressed earlier."

Alright, so there's this idea I've been working on for the past few weeks. You heard me, weeks. Basically, it's boats. Boats than you can make bigger, slap a name on, armor, choose what propulsion system it has, and carry stuff in.
Full idea in spoiler:
Boats Evolved; bigger, modular boats (Watch out --- huge!)
Okay guys. Just a slight disclaimer, the explanation for this idea is going to be *HUGE*. The idea itself may be simpler, but the description will take a long time to explain. In a nutshell, it's bigger boats that are also modular.
So we'll start with a slight modification of a game mechanic. Otherwise, the idea won't work very well. So just keep in mind that in this idea, you can't push a boat around by standing on top of it. At least just for the higher-level classes, which we'll get to in a minute.
Also, upon entering a boat, a GUI will appear somewhere around the bottom-right or so that displays the ships 'health', and speed.
Before we go overboard (no pun intended), let's begin with some basic principles that can be applied to the current boat. Let's call it the Dinghy. You can't do too terribly much with the Dinghy, but you CAN do some things.
Dinghies can be crafted just like they normally are. However to modify a boat, a new tool will have to be brought into the game. Let's say it's a Hammer. Right-clicking on a boat with a hammer, granted you're the one that built it will open up a GUI.
Like I said before the abilities with the Dinghy are limited, so you have limited things that pop up in the GUI. All that displays for now is the hull, propulsion system, and their respective health bars. You can also give your boat its own custom name that appears on its hull (But this probably won't be for the Dinghy). You will also notice two numbers at the top. On the left (12/12), is the boat's hitpoints. I doubled their damage resistance because I thought it was kind of silly to kill a boat with one arrow. To the right (1) is the ship's base speed attribute. That is to say, the speed capability of a boat, excluding the propulsion system. Boat stats will vary upon each construction. Therefore someone can be proud of themselves if they have made a fast/strong ship.
Normally, you have your standard, nonreinforced plank hull. However, you could change that. Let's start with a Reinforced Wood Hull. In the crafting table, put in 9 pieces of log together to form a piece of Reinforced Wood Plating. Dinghies will probably only need one plate to reinforce themselves. Plating will probably not be stackable for gameplay purposes.
Reinforced wood will provide a higher defense for the dinghy. Two more types of hull include Steel and Gold. Steel Plating requires 4 Iron blocks in the crafting table, and Gold likewise. With a steel-plated hull, the boat can take considerably more damage than Plank or Wood. Steel hulls can possibly withstand lava. Gold plating is only slightly stronger than Reinforced Wood and is not feasible as battle armor. However, just in case you were thinking these hulls are easy to reinforce, keep in mind higher levels will need more plating as they get bigger.
When a boat is damaged, simply right-click with the Hammer to open up the GUI. There should be a slot for extra plating to go in should the ship need repair. To ensure fair fights, the repair will be timed, like a furnace. Each repair uses up the Hammer some. It would also be nice to see some sort of visual cue for an almost-destroyed ship, like fire or a broken, damaged texture.
And now, the propulsion systems.
With the default dinghy, you have your Hands. Hands for a dinghy are basically neutral, however they will be slower than in previous versions of the game.
An alternative solution, is craftable Oars. Oars are very maneuverable and faster than hands, however they do not grant a steady speed and require you to hold down the forward button whenever you want to move. They may even 'tire' you out more (using up more Hunger).
The last one for the Dinghy, is the sail. Sails can provide very fast speeds, however they have low thrust and are not easy to slow down and speed up easily. A steady speed is required for traversing around land-covered areas. Sails can also possibly be made with different colored wool, to help a boat stand out. Sails grant a steady speed as you can leave them unattended with very little deceleration.
So now we move on to a bigger boat. Not too terribly big, but we're getting there.
To construct larger ships and propulsion systems, you're going to need an alternative to the crafting table. Let's just call it the Shipwright. This block ONLY crafts boats and takes up more blocks of space.
I think for a new level of boat, you're going to need some Blueprints. Blueprints can most likely be created by interacting with the Shipwright by combining a blueprint (Or in this case, a solid Dinghy) and investing your Experience Points to come up with a new 'idea' for a bigger boat. The 'studying' is timed, again, like a furnace, and with each clump of EP filled, the progress bar is filled some. You can also find Blueprints in dungeons, but only rarely.
After that will be done, the Blueprints can be put in a separate slot, with another slot under it. The slot under it is for the wood required to build the boat. Every time you put more wood into the slot under it, the progress bar for the ship increases. I'm not sure if this should be the way but it sounds pretty good.
I think that for each class of boat, a bigger mast will need to be crafted. That, or just have one single mast that, for bigger boats, you need to pack in more Sails. Kind of like how plating works.
So now, the next level: the Skiff.
The skiff is *about* 2 1/2 times the length of the Dinghy. However, with the next level comes new features. First off is a second slot, a passenger seat if you will. But besides that, there are two more features.
Here, there will be special lots to place blocks at. These could be something decorative like gold blocks, or practical, like chests.
To place a block in there, logically you would right click on that one place with the block. It's possible the block lot will be highlighted by the Hammer to show you where you can place things. To get it out, leftclick with the Hammer and it will appear in your inventory. If blocks aren't your fancy, perhaps animals are. Here is where the extra space in the GUI comes in. There would be a list of all the entities in the boat. If they are NPCs, you can choose to move them to another slot, or evict them. You can also evict players, but not move them[amended].
With the Skiff, you have an additional propulsion system. I'm not sure about this one so I'm going to need you guys' approval. Essentially, it is a steam-powered paddlewheel. The steam engine will need to be powered by coal, which will either have a furnace-like GUI or not. It is also be slightly less maneuverable than the Sail. The steam engine, like Sails, grant a steady speed and can be left unattended. They have perfect acceleration, however they are much slower than Sails.
For armoring, the Skiff will need more plates to sufficiently armor the boat. Possibly two or three.
The skiff will most likely be the largest boat to successfully navigate shallow marshlands and the like.
Now, for the adventurous sailor, we're going to go one step up. Meet the Cog. The Cog is a fair-sized boat, but it is hardly big. What is does have though is a top deck large enough to walk upon. Now, we're going to introduce another feature. This time, the Cog will have a lower deck. You could be able to place a few blocks in that bottom deck, such as beds and chests. This will be good for long adventures. If you aren't spoiled, you would be happy with a Cog for your adventuring needs. Hands are now unusable.
For gameplay, an invisible, penetrable box will be in the interiors of the ship that hides water and its effects when water blocks go near it, but as soon as they leave the water blocks return to normal.
Now here, starting with the Cog, is the boat's main means of offense and defense. You guessed it, the Cannon. I believe the cannon could be made with a crafting table. To fire (And right now I'm making most of this up as I go along), you must first craft a Cannonball (Maximum of 16 allowed in hand), and right click on the cannon. The cannon will fizz for about 2.5 seconds or more before firing the cannonball. You must wait an additional second to fire again. To adjust the angle of a cannon, rightclick it (without a cannonball) to point the cannon up or down.
Now with ships and other entities, contact with the cannonball will just equal damage being dealt. But with blocks, there is a chance (Depending on their blast resistance) that the block being hit, and/or the blocks around it will be pushed forward and respond to gravity. And in rare cases, break upon falling.
That, or it would just be a weak form of TNT. But I like the former better. Mostly because it's my idea. Good gosh I think I'm vain or something.
So like I said, if you aren't spoiled, you would be happy with a Cog for your adventuring needs.
But sometimes, you ARE spoiled. Or, just requiring a bit more power. That's where the fourth level comes in, behold: the Carrack. Significantly larger than the other boats, this one can actually be called a ship. It has 3 decks. The first being the top deck (Which comprises of the main deck, quarter and poop, naturally), the second the gun deck, which to the back holds the captain's quarters, and the bottom deck is mainly for cargo. If the Carrack is steampowered the boiler room will be in there.
Oars are now unusable for the Carrack, as are Hands for Cogs. (The Oars for the Cogs would be weaker than on the Skiff and Dinghy, as would hands with the Skiff. However with the Steam engine and Sail, they just get faster with each level, with exceptions [amended])
Another neat thing you get to do with the Carrack is you get to live up to the naval definiton of a ship. On the Carrack, you can place another boat inside it for scouting/lifeboats. But it can only be a Skiff or Dinghy.
Okay, next one. Here we go.
(This level is optional. You guys tell me if it should be ingame.)
Now sometimes, your lust for power is so great no measly Carrack can hold it; not even when it is steel-hulled and armed to the teeth. No, you wish for the very seas to obey your will. Well, you psychopath, here's the fix for you: Feast your eyes sir, on the Galleon. Over twice the size of a Carrack, four long decks and plenty of guns, you would not want to war with this vessel. It is essentially a Carrack on steroids; bigger, stronger (but not faster [amended]), and scarier. But, slightly slower. Should you decide to armor it, keep in mind it will need 8 Platings to armor (Maybe more). And considering each plating requires 4 blocks to fill, you're going to need a LOT of iron.
When a ship finally loses all of it's 'health', it will sink to the bottom of the sea. Here, it is subject to despawn, but will stay there as long as there is a player near it. Although dangerous, it would then be available for looting, if you haven't plundered the ship while it was afloat already. < --- This entire paragraph is subject to discussion and alternative options. It's also been proposed that the ship turn into it's block counterpart, only leave chests, or like in the Amendment Posts, leaves a Ship's Bell that can serve as a savegame for your ship.
Now, I understand that such a feature is going to be *HUGE*, possibly requiring its own update, and would be just a massive undertaking. But I for one believe it will be an undertaking worth the effort. It would heighten the spirit of Minecraft adventure and exploration, people could trade vast amounts of resources over long distances, and plunder other ships for their booty. So I'm not 100% expecting this to be accepted entirely (But if it is, thankyouthankyouthankyou!), but in the future if any modders were curious about how to go about doing their ship mod, this could be a good example. But I really hope this would at least be seen by Mojang. Just two-thirds into completing this idea, I read an old tweet of Notch saying that he might add something like this in the future. So, if you are, this could be one of the ways to go about it.
Any questions?
Amendment Post 1: - In the Shipwright GUI, the product slot of the boatbuilding section is now a button. I've updated the image.
- Craftable ship components should have been expanded. In addition to a Galley, an Anchor component (probably most vital) is also one of them. Also proposed by the community are tables, crows' nests (That basket thing on the top of masts), icebreakers, and if the NPC crew idea is implemented, a sea captain's desk to chart courses for the helmsman.
- I actually think you should be able to move players. I mean, if they actually decided to choose to lock themselves in a mob slot rather than move around freely I think the captain should be free to move them wherever. Amendment Post 2: - Galleons really shouldn't be the fastest ships out there, it would be unfair. Instead, their base speed capability should be a tiny bit slower than a Carrack, probably. Updated.
- Right clicking on a cannon without a cannonball could point the cannon up/down. Updated.
- Different types of ships that do not follow the linear 5-level path of upgrades. Instead, 'extra' ship blueprints could be found in dungeons in strongholds, but they would be rare. Could be a way to get Caravels and viking ships or whatnot.
- I'm not sure about the decay process of sunken ships. Perhaps after someone leaves the ship's general area, a timer starts and eventually the ship will despawn. Or maybe it just stays there forever but can be 'mined' away to recollect valuable materials. Amendment Post 3 (Note: These are not as important as the first 2) : - Flags. Although I'm sure colored sails can do a good job of faction identification, custom-made flags would be really great to have. They could be used outside of boats, too.
- Extra ammo types. The standard cannonball would be made of stone and gunpowder, but others could be made out of iron and other materials. The new usable fireball coming 1.2 would also make a neat incendiary addition. Other types can inclde grapeshot and chainshot.
- Sea monsters. Pretty straightforward, I'd like to see some minor sea bosses when roaming the sea. But in my opinion, they should be restricted to certain sizes of ships (Dinghies have no bosses). For example the ship the size of a Skiff would probably only get a shark or something, whereas something Cog-sized would get sharks and sea serpents, medium-sized ships like the Carrack would get sea serpents and maybe giant octopus (Will wrap tentacles around the ship and begin to tug down unless tentacles are damaged), etc...They are, however, uncommon.
- A ship's bell. Yes, they can be used as a normal bell, but there's something that makes them special. Once placed on a ship, it bears the ship's name and can ONLY be placed on that ship (e.g Bell of the S.S Whatchamacallit). Then, if a sunken ship despawns, that bell is turned into a block at the bottom of the ocean and contains all of the ship's data. Then, it can be used to recreate the ship.
- Sea obstacles. The ocean would be made that much better if occasionally you stumbled upon a mini-biome within an ocean. These could be mysterious sea rocks, or icebergs made of pack ice where a tundra or arctic biome would usually be.
Important Things to Know for the Unfortunate Few Without Common Sense (aka posts I've gotten a million and one times and wish to halt):
This is NOT A MOD. The illustrations may look convincing (for a bunch of photoshopped models made in Sketchup :p) but I have repeatedly, in this suggestion, mentioned it as an idea and rarely even mentioned the word 'mod'. Please stop asking how to install this. Plus, we're in the Suggestions forum. That tell you anything?
Yes, I have SEEN the Zeppelin Mod. You're just about the 508th person to show me this. Yes, I've seen it. YES, I think it's a great mod, but in my opinion it's best to leave it at that, and this idea is about the vanilla Minecraft ships made of predefined modules, not blocks, as that seems to be more congruent with the current game mechanics. Saying "There's a mod for that" is a warnable offense, in any case.
You see that little link up there? Yeah, the idea is in the link (or the spoiler). I've explained rather thoroughly how the boats work. While I would really like it for you to give me your two cents, this thread is not for people to make up entirely their own ideas on how the boats work. That part's already here, mostly
"This would be great, but the oceans need to be bigger!" <-- Say this and you're gonna get a smack. >=(
I figured that diamond ore should match the style of emerald ore since they are both gems, and I also figure since iron blocks were changed to look unique that so should diamond blocks. I noticed that emerald blocks seems to copy the pattern of the emeralds themselves, making a diamond shaped pattern, so I wanted to make the diamond blocks match diamonds as well with a raised square pattern like we see here:
So, I present to you my new texture ideas:
Ore:
Block:
Here are a couple comparisons against emerald:
And here is a 16x16 wall and 3x3x3 cube of diamond blocks, just to give you a better idea of what they look like in a group:
And here are some side by side comparisons with the old textures:
I really hope this is at least taken into consideration, and I would appreciate comments from other users since we are who the game is made for.
Side note: If you like the textures and want to use them in your own texture pack, please feel free to do so. While I would like credit, I won't demand you do so.
Also, I've pretty much given up on the ore, and I understand the concern about how iconic the ore texture is, so I would much rather get an opinion on the block rather than the ore.
To those of you who say this is what texture packs are for, please note that this the suggestions forum. The existence of a mod or texture pack should not be used to dismiss an idea.
it's been a year and a half of supporting and discussing this suggestion, it no longer is a suggestion that i can claim as mine for it is an idea that was molded and cared for by so many people, this suggestion is an idea that belongs to the community and because of your help for the past year and a half, we have finally made a breakthrough... Guys,WEDIDIT!
Mojang officially released a screenshot ( showing colored glass implemented and fixes on the transparency issues they were having before. I can say with confidence that if it weren't for all your support for this topic, there's a good chance that colred glass wouldnt have even been included in this snapshot. For that you guys can be proud to be apart of something big, something that could change the way Minecraft feels forever. Thank you for all your support! And thank you Mojang for putting up with us and taking the time to implement our suggestion! :3
However, its not over yet, with the addition of colored glass, there is so much more we can do with it. Adding colored glass could be the beginning of big additions such as colored light in the future; So i will be changing the title of this topic to Colored Light!
Due to this topics' popularity I want this topic to act as an outlet for the communities' ideas and opinions on the topic of colored glass and its implementations in the future. So everyone, let us move on to the next step of our suggestion topic and help make a difference!
"So, I was mining today and stumbled upon beautiful natural glowing crystals in an underground ravine!"
"...Then I investigated a red glow I could see creeping through a tunnel shaft and found myself in the middle of a zombie hive! o__O"
Well, those are some of the things we could be saying if colored glass and colored light were added to MC! (images above are not real screenshots. They were Photoshopped by me to show what MC could be like if this topic's proposals were implemented)
===============================================================
[NOTE]Colored light and glass is something I believe all minecrafters should be able to enjoy with each other without the midleman or knowledge of mod installing. So for that reason, this suggestion is directed towards vanilla. We do however welcome mods here since it's said that "Colored light isn't possible." -_^
===============================================================
Here is how it could work:
Color Glass Blocks & Changing The Color of Light
Colored Glass and Colored Light are features I have wanted to see in Minecraft for some time. I wanted to see these features implemented so bad that I have come up with some ways it could be used in the game; it would greatly increase building potential and the ability for a player to customize an atmosphere by modifying the color of light. Based on my knowledge working in the game industry as an indiegame digital artist, I know that the impact something like colored glass and light would have on minecraft would be more important than most people know. In fact, it may even be safe to say that even Mojang underestimates the aesthetic importance of colored light and being able to manipulate it. Here is a little diagram that briefly explains my proposition:
Here is a colored light mod that CptSpaceToster in a video spotlight! check it out! (ehem you too mojang -_^) colored light IS possible and it IS necessary this video shows that:
Here is a different crafting recipe that was originally suggested by ChadGarion25. It is fantastic and gives cauldrons an actual use.
Tell me what you guys think
Support colored glass by wearing this banner: (Signature will NOT work if you do not paste this code into your signature via code editing mode. Turn on editing mode with the little switch at the top left corner of the editor)
Also, if you like this suggestion and want to help it become a reality, give the first post in this thread rep points, and get your avatar featured in the 'We Love This Post!' banner down below the OP!!!
Redo how dyes are handled all together by giving cauldrons a purpose; making dye into a liquid form
Cauldrons containing water can be right clicked with powdered dye to color the water (a tint of water won't require new block types)
3 objects can be dyed by right clicking the cauldron of dye whilst holding them. In this case, wool blocks, glass blocks, and glass panes (you can still take stained glass blocks of the same color and craft panes)
This solves the realistic problem with dying glass with a powder. It also gives Cauldrons a useful role. You can take the process further by being able to bottle dye from the cauldron but that would require potions to be stack-able and even though it's more efficient it's cumbersome to mass produce.
If i were to make any suggestions, i would recommend a simple refraction system. Like redstone only carries current 13 blocks or so, the glass panels could, if encased in non-opaque blocks, carry the light further than it would normally travel (like optic fibers). Additionally i would suggest colored redstone lamps, so that the color could be turned on and of at the switch of a button.
Common Questions: I have received a lot of comments about glass blocks and changing light color causing too much lag or requiring an entire overhaul of the light engine MC currently has implemented. What people don't fully understand is how MC lights work and where in-game lag actually comes from in videogames. I can't say I completely understand how exactly the MC lighting engine works as I have not seen the code, however it is briefly explained here: if you have any better knowledge or sources that explains these points better, feel free to critique my points and share your insight on the topic.
"Why did you label the topic as 'original'? This isn't the first colored glass topic, you know..." You are correct, this is not the first topic on colored glass, nor am I saying it is. The 'Original' tag in the title is referring to this topic and it's contents specifically. On several occasions, I came across my topic copied directly into Redit and other online blogs; without any sort of credit to the images and content. As the images in this topic were created from scratch by me, copying this topic would be considered art theft.
So to answer your question, the Colored Glass! topic is labeled as original because it is, the original.
Is it possible to change the color of the light? Yes. Difficult, but possible. It used to be quite easy to light blocks with individual colors in early versions of Minecraft, but with the current light system this is no longer the case. It would require additions to the light system, the renderer, the map file format, and the network protocol. (A technical proposal can be found here, behind the cut.) (question aswered by Nocte)
Will it cause lag? Yes, unfortunately the addition of colored light will lower your frame rate. How much? This is hard to predict until someone actually tries it on a variety of hardware, but there's no reason to believe it will be anything drastic. It will also have an impact on memory use -- 64 KB per unpacked chunk to be precise. And of course the color information will have to go over the network somehow. If necessary, it would be possible to add an option to simply ignore the color information, and keep the current system where all block lights have the same yellowish color. (question aswered by Nocte)
"Are there any Mods with Colored glass or colored light?": Yes, there are some mods for colored glass and there are older mods that have colored light implemented into MC. Here are just a few of these projects:
• Kovu, a follower of this topic has been working on a colored light prototype. wheather he is doing it with the current minecraft engine or not is unclear but if it is, this proves that colored light is indeed possible with the current lighting engine. it may just need some performance updates. -_^
• Nocte, one of the followers of this topic is very knowledgeable of what is going on behind all the gears and pendulums of Minecraft and has been working onthis project. He may even tackle colored light.-_^
"I don't like colored sand because it would add too many new blocks to MC": I added colored sand as an option for crafting colored glass because it would kills 2 birds with one stone. It would solve problems for people wanting colored glass and people wanting more color variations in standard blocks such as non-burnable, gravity, and stairs/slabs. The colored sand idea actually wouldn't require any new blocks or textures at all. The reason why, is because of how it could be programed. Much like how the biomes change the color of grass and leaves, both can wool and sand. Thus all blocks or future blocks that are craft able from sand or wool could be done in the same way; being colored entirely in code and decreasing the textures needed for the blocks. This solution would obviously require a change to how entities work but it would make way for limitless amount of colored items much like how leather armor works.
Now you may still be thinking, "well, that still doesn't fix the items being displayed in the inventory" actually it wouldn't be much of a problem since all of these items are just as hard to craft, having an inventory full of different colored sandstone blocks and the like, is only the fruits of your labors; having to collect dies, making cored sand and crafting them into stone. If what you are worrying about is the creative menu being overly crowded; this also wouldn't be a problem since the 1.3.1 update that added an improved creative mode inventory with categorized tabs for various items/blocks and a search menu. If more colored blocks are added, they could simply just be added into to their own tab with would be extremely useful for pixel art artists and the like.
If you are still unsatisfied with colored sand being a step in creating of colored glass, we have discussed other options as colored sand is only a suggestion. Please look at "Cool Ideas by you guys" above for more information.
"Wouldn't it be easier to make colored glass by just combining it with dye like how you make wool?" Easier yes, but wouldn't make much sense. Colored sand would mimic how real colored glass is created and it would open up more opportunities for new blocks using colored sand; including colored sandstone steps. Also, considering the "special properties" of colored glass, I believe it should be slightly harder to craft instead of simply adding color. with that said, I do not intend to say my crafting proposition is the best solution. In fact there have been many great alternative suggestions that have been made here. So keep thinking critically, innovate on existing ideas and give us some great suggestions!
"Has Mojang seen this?" Yes, in fact we even heard back from Mojang on the topic; Nathan Adams also known as Dinnerbone from Mojang stressed that they have indeed been noticing the feedback on colored glass from the community. He also stated that colored glass is indeed possible and hinted that implementation of colored glass is not a "no"; which is exciting news.
Unfortunately, he also informed us that colored light is impossible on a large scale with the current lighting engine. However he also stated: "The lighting system is extremely broken and needs rewriting" this could mean that there is still a chance, if re-written, a new lighting engine may be able to support colored light. But this is uncertain.
ChadGarion25 informed me of a tweet made by Dinnerbone on 25 Sep at 6:14 AM eastern time where dinner bone posted a comment that could be very promising for colored glass and colored light to be implemented into Minecraft!
1) colored glass is very much possible in the current version of Minecraft; except it wouldn't allow other transparent textures to be seen through the glass (much how ice and water works in MC) and it would be difficult to ad a Z-buffer without having performance issues on slow platforms. This may not be much of an issue as most people will not have a reason to blend the colors of glass by stacking and though not completely transparent, it may look ok anyway. however I feel if a z buffer were added, perhaps there could be a toggle in video settings to turn off z-buffering for those who are playing on slower computers. Dinnerbone also hinted that the implementation of colored glass into vanilla is neither a yes or a no... so, I wouldn't give up on it just yet, guys. -_^
2)There are mods that have colored light implemented in versions of Minecraft before the adventure update. Check out theoneandonlyflexo for more info!
3) Yes Mojang has noticed this topic so there is no need to keep tweeting it to them as if they have never seen it.
The Adventure Update was supposed to give us more motivation to explore, but instead the motivation was taken away. Here's why:
Many of the features included in the 1.7.3 generator that brought the game to life were unexpectedly removed when 1.8 hit our clients. Due to this, monstrous amounts of variety are now non-existent in Minecraft. Most of the problems with the generator today are due to limitation. With that being said, every seed is now basically identical, meaning there is WAY too much predictiveness in the terrain:
LIMITED HEIGHT VARIATION
For instance, we can only find mountains in the Extreme Hills (EH) biome and the X-hills biomes (ForestHills, DesertHills, etc.) In the EH biome, height changes are forced, ALWAYS leaving us with a sloppy mess of turquoise spam reaching to the heavens. In the X-hills biomes, the same thing happens, except height changes hardly ever reach "mountain level."
So why is this bad? Although this brings us joyous mountains, they are never spread apart, or landlocked by flat land. Thus, if you find a mountain you are nearly 100% sure to find more and more. Also, when you see turquoise grass, you are 100% sure to find mountains. It's predictability at its greatest. This is bad because the pre-1.8 generator contained more height variation. You could literally find any type of landscape.Just look at the variety of landscapes you could find in pre-1.8 in comparison to current generation:
As you see from this picture, the only way to achieve max-height terrain is to visit the EH biome. No, X-hills will not allow you to do this. What we do know is that EH biomes and X-hills together give us a somewhat decent array of variation, but 1.7.3's array was a LOT bigger. Want proof?
In this image, not only is there an overhang and a thin rocky formation, but there is flat land isolating both of these. There is no way to represent full random height variation in one picture, but this may give you a hint as to what it may be. What else can we bring to the plate?
Beta 1.8+ babies may not know what this is. Here is a picture of the most popular seed before the terrain was ruined. Glacier was its name. Now, this isn't the best picture of the Glacier Mountains, but I will attempt to describe it. Imagine a seasonal forest with mountains sprawling across the whole biome. This may seem like the equivalent of today's ForestHills sub-biome but it is not! An area such as the Glacier Mountains was not something you would see every five minutes. It was found by seed-hunting -- another damaged factor due to the 1.8 terrain changes. Ladies and gentlefish, this seed may just describe what height variation is all about. You see, if you exited the area of the mountains, there'd be terrain nothing like it. You would see occasional hills and land easy to build on! And guess what? This all happened within biomes of the same name. There were no limitations nor restrictions.
Now before you start replying (and I urge you not until reading ALL of this post), let me show you what the 1.7.3 generator could do, even though people may think it wasn't possible.
The picture above IS Beta-1.7.3 terrain, not Release-1.3.2. Yes, flat land was possible. REMEMBER, we are not asking for the previous generator! We want the current one improved so that everyone is happy!!!!
FORCED ENDLESS CAVES
Another flaw of the current generator is the underground generation. There are simply too many caves, and this problem is existent in every world, just like our height variation problem. Often, I find myself bored in-game, because within the first five minutes of a newly created world, I'm already set for life because I found a cave that extends on and on. Literally, we can now find stacks of iron ore and enough diamond to last us half a year within the first hour of gameplay!
So why is this bad? It is understandable some people may like having extensive caves, as do I, but not all the time. Minecraft always needed more challenge, and this cave problem definitely worsens the issue. Back in pre-1.8, there were caves of varying sizes -- the same amount of variety that the mountains had. Now we are limited to seemingly endless tunnels and caverns. Don't you miss "conquering" a cave in less than 10 years? I know I do.
Don't believe me? Look at this:
You could say "that's just one area in one world." WRONG. Look at this:
Want more?
This is absurd. The people who enjoy extensive caves are sure happy, but the people who want caves of varying sizes should be enraged!
SLOPPY SAND BEACHES & ABSENCE OF GRAVEL BEACHES
Another problem with current terrain generation includes the formation of beaches and the absence of gravel beaches. Gravel beaches were an undeniably cool feature to pre-1.8 generation, and Mojang had no reason to remove them when the Adventure Update hit our clients. Remember the "404 Challenge?" Well now it's impossible to have anything merely resemble it (except for the extensive cave system, of course). Sandy beaches are now always sloppily generated, therefore lowering the rate of variety within every world.
Why is this bad? It is obvious that the removal of gravel beaches upsets many people, as it does to me. Sandy beaches on the other hand definitely need work. Take a look at this current beach:
..Well that was awkward. The generator seems to just replace random coasts with sand blocks. Face it, pre-1.8 had things like this as well, maybe not as common, but definitely existent. However, pre-1.8 also had good looking beaches! This is what we call VARIETY -- when things stop reappearing over and over again.
Ok, admitted, the picture above may be a little biased. Let's throw in a picture that an opposer gave to me:
This is someone's example of a perfect beach. You've got to be kidding me. First off, two things need to be pointed about before getting into the specifics.
1. This is set on the Large Biomes option. Good terrain should be available to those who play on the default setting!
2. This "beach" is adjacent to a jungle biome. Beaches next to jungle biomes tend to look a bit nicer in comparison to those that are adjacent to other biomes. Therefore, this picture is a little biased itself.
As said before, the main problem with today's beaches is that they are always going to have this form. Only one or two horizontal lines of sand are actually on sea-level. Again, we had crappy beaches and good beaches in 1.7.3 and this is good because of the variety it brought to the game. We all shouldn't be able to reach preffered terrain everywhere we go, right? That's the challenge and fun!
Take a look at this picture of a pre-1.8 beach:
Now that's what I call a good looking beach! Look how many consistent sand blocks are actually on sea-level. Compare that to the one or two lines of consistent sandy-coasts in current generation. Remember, pre-1.8 also had crappy beaches, which is a good thing because it distributed variety into every world.
Keep in mind, this thread is NOT about the existence of oceans, the "RPG" features, the existence of the new world generation features, biome size, random placement of biomes, and possibly more. We also do not endorse the return of past generators or a new world option.
If you want to discuss these said features, you are in the WRONG THREAD.
WHY MODS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION:
Quote from Shreaders »
Mods are a temporary fix to a long-term problem. Most of the terrain altering mods out there do not even live up to the standards that are put forth in this thread. They all are attempts to bring back 1.7 map generation into the current terrain. If you're asking Isn't this what we want? No, and this means that you did not read the full thread. So please go back, re-read the thread, and then re-post.
What we want done to the terrain is have it tweaked to add more height variety per biome. We want the structures and everything that was added since 1.8 except for the flat, dull, boring land. Mods do not fix this as they create ugly jumbled up and chewed up land masses all over the place (Which those types of land masses can also be neat if harnessed and used correctly by mojang.) Did not know that? Re-read the thread, and re-post.
So for those of you who keep coming on here advertising different mods that we can use: 45 people have mentioned the same thing before you: so do not bother as it will not silence us. We feel the current map generation needs to be altered to satisfy all of Mojangs player base not just 25% (and yes those numbers are accurate .. the poll for this change is at 75% yes and 25% no) Did not know that? Simple.. Re-read the thread, and then re-post.
I'm a little confused that this isn't a bigger complaint: I mean, swamps look ugly, sure and there are a few bugs here and there, but BIOMES ARE ABSOLUTELY RUINED. Seriously, I can't even play anymore - I'm just so bored by the landscape. I like mountains with trees (regular, pines and birch) and snow. I can have either mountains OR snow OR trees. Awesome
Seeds are completely pointless now - all they do is determine your spawn point. Might as well just use one seed and ask at the start if you want to start in the biome with trees, the biome with mountains or the other biomes with nothing in them.
Has anyone tried tweeting jeb about this (I'm pretty sure Notch isn't working on Minecraft anymore)? To me, this is the single largest issue with Minecraft currently. Varied and crazy terrain was one of the greatest things about Minecraft pre-1.8. Now, Minecraft's terrain is more boring than in real life. Realism I could possibly stand (in a game with creepers and which originally became popular because of its crazy and interesting randomly generated terrain), but it simply isn't realistic to have no snow on any mountains, to have no trees (one tree per chunk doesn't count - I'm talking forests) anywhere where it snows, to have almost completely flat terrain everywhere except in one specific area which has huge mountains and nothing else.
Some have said it's this way because of NPC villages - if that's the case, I'd much rather have no NPCs at all if it will bring back an interesting world.
Please, can someone here who uses twitter contact jeb and link him to this thread or ask if he realises that Minecraft's terrain generation is horrible and boring now, and whether he intends to fix it? If Mojang think it's fine as it is and don't fix it, I honestly won't be playing anymore. Bring back variety and craziness or lose those of your customers who enjoyed (above ground) exploration, building in unique locations, searching for the best seed, admiring the views and even just doing other things in a world that didn't feel like a void.

The problem I have with it is: EVERY. WORLD. LOOKS. EXACTLY. THE. SAME.
Quote from Homem Pigman »
Moving mountains to a single biome was simply the worst idea in all of gaming history. And even those look bland.I want the extremely random worlds that made Minecraft be awesome!
Quote from Mamrok »
The terrain is a lot LESS complex than it used to be. What made the old generator more complex is, that the
physical terrain overlapped with all biomes, so that we had a lot of combinations. The biomes now are very homogenic and are seperated from each other with surgical cuts. 1000 blocks of flat forrest *poof* 1200 blocks of flat desert *poof* 1000 blocks of treeless extreme mountains *poof* 1000 blocks of flat forrest. very complex...
Also the additon of ravines and rivers doesnt have anything to do with how the terrain and biomes are created. They are just superimposed over the landscape.
Quote from giraffeartillery »
This more realistic terrain generation is incredibly bland. Once you see one biome, you have basically seen them all.
The old one was varied and the biome mixing created some nice landscapes. Also spawning on a beach made it feel like you washed up on the shores of a unknown land. I wouldn't mind some modifications to the underground how ever.
Quote from Domino »
The sizes are perfect, but they need more variety in each one.
Quote from Flygonair »
I was gonna post a hate comment, but once i looked at the screenshots i realised you were right! I haven't seen any awesome looking mountain formations since 1.0.0! All i've been seeing is the same old plains, swamps, and pine forests!
Quote from MineCrak »
I used to be ok with there being some caves, but now the entire damned underground is swiss-cheesed with them... Now I hate them.
Perhaps the people who love the endless caves are playing the game in Peaceful or Creative mode. Caves are a whole different matter in Normal difficulty. They are constantly getting in the way of my mines and underground constructions.
I would rather have fewer but more epic caves or actual caverns then an endless ant farm of caves everywhere I dig..
Quote from xlea99 »
I kind of used to hate people who said the terrain was boring... but it is REALLY flat. I guess I have to agree now. While I'm in love with oceans and mushroomlands and jungles, there is not as much interesting stuff in the world. I really wish that jeb would put back in what notch took out: Mountain landforms.
By that I mean not a mountain biome, but allowing allowing mountains to spawn in any biome on their own. That was one reason that the 1.7.3 generator was so friggin amazing.
If Jeb made it so that mountains could spawn in the same sort of way as lakes, then things would get a lot better. Then, mountains would be spawning in forests, giving us back that good-ole' tree filled mountain range we all love. It could spawn in Praries, to allow villages to be at the top of the world. It could spawn in deserts, to give us back those sand falls. They could spawn in oceans, so you could find just a random huge mountain in the ocean, kind of like a survival island. Heck, they could even spawn in swamps. Allowing for some pretty cool crap to happen.
Also, Jeb needs to put back the gravel beaches. I loved the look of those, and they just made things look so good.
Quote from Wiggycat314 »
I have been a heavy Minecraft player since Alpha 1.2.0_02 when I first started playing. It wasn't the mining or the monsters that urged me to play; it was the sense of adventure. Most of the time, when I make a new world, I don't plan on building, I spend most of the time exploring the unknown and seeing what Minecraft has to throw at me.
When the ability to use seeds came out in Beta 1.3, it was then that my sense of exploration really started to rise. So many words and letters to type, so many worlds, but so little time. I loved it, each world had it's own uniqueness to it. If you managed to find a very nice world, you knew that this world was yours and no one else had one like it (unless you shared the seed).
When 1.8 came out, it really hit me hard. There was little to no variety in the worlds anymore. Seeds (in my opinion) were then obsolete. What's the point of sharing seeds when every world looks the same.
Quote from Creative_Explorer »
It is a fact that the terrain has less variety in it than before.
Quote from Frogging101 »
I don't know why, but there are way way way too many caves. I don't recall there being this many before 1.8. I like exploring caves, and it's cool to navigate the enormous mineshafts. But only to a certain point. After spending hours and hours in a seemingly endless cave system, it just gets boring and repetitive. The cave system that I've been in since I started this world 3 days ago is just way too big. I dug a staircase mine type thing for a bit, just to collect a few ores to get me started. Within about 5-10 minutes I found my self in a cave system. 3 days later, I'm still in the cave system. I've seen about 3 ravines, destroyed 2 cave spider spawners, gotten lost in 2 different abandoned mineshafts and maybe 20 different caverns. I have half a chest full of coal, and the other half is iron, gold and a few diamonds.IT NEVER ENDS.
Quote from Owl Exterminator »
I love enchanting, I love the new biomes, I love all of the new features, and there isn't one I would ever want removed from the game. I miss the old world though. The new world isn't the same, it doesn't even compare. I'm sorry to all those people I insulted back when the adventure update went live. I'm sorry because I know why you were upset.
Quote from DrakBadgerwaffles »
I wouldn't be against Mojang hiring a guy on full time to do nothing but work on the terrain, as long as it gets done.
Also, is the Bukkit team actually still part of Mojang? I thought they were hired on and since then I've heard very little out of the progress they are supposed to be making.
Here's a rundown of how I think they are splitting their efforts. I'm thinking Bukkit got there, wanted to finish working on the Mod API, opened up the core program and realize that it was just a bunch of empty classes that would require a ton more time than they figured. Then 1.4 was held back to compensate.
Meanwhile, Jeb and Dinnerbone get to work on RPG stuff because Dinnerbone really only knows how to work with entities and Jeb is really only good at picking up the slack that Notch created when he would have his brain-farts so infrequently since the beginning of 1.8pre.
Then Notch leaves after delivering terrain so uninspired that he forgot to add roses, snow, and mountains (Really!? How can some people think current gen is better than 1.7.3 when it didn't even launch with ROSES and SNOW!?), Jeb takes up the torch of the entire game, makes beaches and X-hills their own biomes because he has no idea what mess of cobwebs Notch put up, and here we are with vertical beaches, endless biomes of flat terrain, and mountains that are so forced that even their heights are the same...
And some people still think 1.8 and up is better than 1.7.3? The development process alone is horrible enough to be deal-breaker.
Quote from xBella »
Gah. I honestly can't stand the 1.3.2 terrain generation at all anymore. If I play singleplayer, it's always with my 1.7.3 .jar because it's just an eyesore to look at the current terrain generation. The terrain of 1.7.3 makes it seem like a whole new game. Honestly, I love jungles and swamps but I would trade it and NPC villages for the 1.7.3 terrain. That doesn't mean I want Jeb to just re-add 1.7.3 terrain and dump jungles and swamps, I just want him to improve it.
What happened to the savannahs? It bugs me so much to see a desert next to a jungle. I don't even know why they removed the temperature system. I miss the beaches and the gravel beaches that were everywhere. Beach houses were possible back then. If you wanted a proper beach house now, you'd have to have a tiny 2x2 house just to fit it in the beach. It also annoys me a lot when people tell me to use Large Biomes if I want better beaches. Why should I have to use Large Biomes to enjoy a feature that was once perfect? We don't need the 1.7.3 terrain generator back, we need the current one improved.
Quote from shady_slim »
Sweet gods...witches and bats over terrain? Exploring neat new places is what makes this game (for me)
This is an screenshot of the beach gen that was re-added in Snapshot 12w01a. Please note that this is not representative of the new beaches in general, but instead an example of what the new generation can create!
Jeb appears to have simply changed the blocks which form the transition between land and the ocean biome from dirt to sand. This forms ugly clumps of sand hardly resembling beaches on hilly terrain. This DOES NOT resemble actual beaches or beaches as they once were in Beta 1.7.3! Or reality for that matter.
What should be done to correct this:
Simply limit the max height of sand that can generate to two to three blocks above sea level, which would be identical to beach generation prior to Beta 1.8. With beaches essentially being their own biome, such a change should feasibly be easy since it shouldn't conflict with other biomes. If you believe otherwise, please state so and why!
---
OP:
With the inclusion of the new terrain generation in recent releases, I've read about many major topics and comments having to do with terrible biome transitions involving the swamp biome and the such. However I have not seen any real topics concerning the exclusion of beaches and the issues concerning underwater bedding. So here is the point of this topic:
Summary:
1.) Beaches was a widely-liked feature of the previous terrain generator and it needs to be restored.
This should be simple enough. Just add back beaches into the terrain generator. Also gravel beaches should be returned as well. More on that later in the topicThe main argument against the current underwater bedding generation is that allows for easy access to large amounts of clay, and that clay was supposedly more rare in the previous generator. However, it was abundant, since the x=z clay generator bug that previously plagued the game was patched in 1.7.
However, to further address this issue, clay density and frequency can be increased to satisfy those who believe that more clay truly is necessary.[/indent]
The poor state of these aspects of the terrain generator has proven to be both an annoyance and an eyesore to me and the community as well. Beach gen prior to 1.8 paralleled realistic beaches and was more aesthetically pleasing in general. To further elaborate what I mean:
Beaches, prior 1.8
"Beaches" (along lakeside), 1.8 and later
Beaches, real life
As you can see, beaches do not actually generate in 1.8 and later, the "beaches" you see are actually not beaches at all; they are simply the outcroppings of the underwater sand bedding crossing onto the shore. This brings me to the next point: underwater bedding.
As you can see, in 1.8 and later, underwater bedding consists of ugly patches of circular splotches, whether it be in a lake or an ocean. Previously, it was both aesthetically appealing and realistic. Clay would still be fairly abundant if the patch from 1.7 were also incorporated into clay generation. If that is not enough, we can simply have clay generated in the same manner as depicted in the picture below in higher frequencies or larger quantities:
Lastly, gravel beaches should be added back. It was a realistic feature of the old terrain generator and also broke up the monotony with the constant sand beaches. It is not a necessary feature to be re-added, though it would be nice.
Gravel Beaches, 1.7 and before
Gravel Beaches, real life
To reiterate:
1.) Beaches was a widely-liked feature of the previous terrain generator and so, needs to be fixedWith this said and done, I ask that these issues be addressed as soon as it is possible. If you can, please twitter or e-mail Jeb. This is technically not meant to be a petition or anything like the very popular Dear Mojang: The Swamps are Still Ugly topic, just a reminder to show that these issues must be addressed. However, you can show your support by twittering Jeb (+ link to here) or just acknowledging it here.
If you support this, you can show it by signing on to this cause. Type "/signed" in your post!

My take on a log cabin, complete with brick fire place, lumber storage, and birch garden.
New Horizontal log creation, Desert Caravan Stormwatch Tower. Reinforced with heavy logs, this sand structure stands high on the flat desert horizon, watching for incoming sandstorms and bandit raids to aid local trade caravans in their journey.
More Creations. A jungle look-out platform for Tarzan enthusiasts: When height = Survival in the jungle, you can't go wrong with lashing together logs to make yourself a jungle platform up in the trees.
My attempt to make birch logs look good by making a rounded Tipi structure. It failed on the outside, inside looks fine. I attribute it more to birch being ugly as sin rather than my project.
I'll keep these following ones in spoilers until I can figure out the thumbnail thing...
Here is your log cabin framework, Abe would be so proud. It's hella hard to make because all I did was re-texture the furnace in game to make the illusion of logs, so I can't just place them on one another. Obviously the real thing won't be so restrictive.
Something I notice is this idea would require a slight texture modification to existing wood. The way it is now, the logs kind of meld together and looks like a solid entity. All that needs to be done is darken or lighten the side boarder of the log texture square so they look separate.
I was gonna say something about this..but then I realized what you meant..I thought at first you were saying it should always be placed on the side..but I know now you mean it will face...kinda like a piston does..so you can set it different ways...I like it...support.
Mod support (for this suggestion) (works on 1.2.5): Compliments to Koopinator for the wonderful work on the mod to make this suggestion "unofficially" possible
-Notice: You will need to have modloader set up to run it, but otherwise all you will need to do is drag the contents of the .zip file into your jar. Since it is an early release, YOU SHOULD CREATE A BACKUP IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR SAVES SAFE. There shouldn't be any major issues, but there are changes made to the pp (BlockLog) class that may affect your old worlds in annoying ways.
PS...
Pictures are worth so many more words than any regular explanation can give and I think that the more pictures we have to support the possibilities of this idea the more people will be able to see how much this is needed!

Aerospace's University Partnership Program
The University Partnership Program (UPP) partners with top universities to provide resources, mentorship, and hands-on experience for students to explore potential career paths in the space sector.
Space has never been more exciting. The advancement of space technologies, capabilities and accessibility is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. This excitement for new possibilities presented by the next frontier has attracted more attention and increased demand for talented innovators with bold ideas.
To better engage with the next generation of technical leaders, The Aerospace Corporation is partnering with top universities and their faculty around the country to provide resources, mentorship, and hands-on experience for students to explore potential career paths in the space sector.
Aerospace engineers Alonzo Lopez and Jared Archey were both recruited as a result of UPP and are currently working on space robotics R&D.
Through the University Partnership Program (UPP), Aerospace collaborates with professors within select universities to offer students opportunities to participate in sponsored research and development projects, network with Aerospace technical experts, and gain valuable experience through internships.
"Collaboration is a key component of innovation and we use our university partnerships to build an ecosystem that connects students and professors with Aerospace experts and interesting problems that will help shape the future space enterprise," said Erica Deionno, iLab UPP portfolio manager.
Though a partnership between iLab and Aerospace's University Relations and Recruiting (UR&R), Aerospace sponsors an extensive portfolio of R&D projects with partnering universities, selected by a range of factors, including diversity quality and research strengths. These projects include leveraging artificial intelligence to track objects in orbit, machine learning with environmental data, and robotics for in-space assembly.

short patch cable
30.12.2016
I bought around 8 or 10 of these for my pedalboard project. Actually, all my sound chain - counting 15-odd effects uses these entry level cordial cables in different leghts.
Generally, the cable is well-built and the signal quality is good. You can unscrew the jack and access the wires if you ever need to do some soldering. Inside the wires look clean and tidy - no complaints there. Also, the neutrik plugs are known for quality and everybody recommends them and it is also a part of the package - and in fact something that convinced me to buy them.
I also quite like the way they look on my board, all black and shiny but not too showy either... As opposed to some comments, to me it doesn't look cheap at all - rather the opposite:)
One thing you have to consider if you want 0.15 version to connect stompboxes side to side - due to the metal part being long and rubber cord being short it doesn't bend a lot - so it might not be perfect for those cramped boards where you literally fight for space - you should get some pancake plugs for that.
All in all, good quality, looks nice and should last a long time. Recommended quality but...
cable management fanatic, 08.03.2020
Got these for free with a spaceship pedalboard and while the cables appear to be a good quality (no noise and all still working after lots of plugging in and unplugging) the cable ends are constantly unscrewing themselves. Speaking of the cable ends the metal housing around the jack is about a mile long so they're basically impossible to use with most reasonably sized pedalboards if you need them to go between slats and under things Good
Evidence, 07.11.2019
Golden RCA connectors on both sides, very durable. Should stay connected in almost any realistic situation you can get yourself into while playing during rehearsals and during live performances. I would recommend these for sure, they are fairly cheap with great quality overall. If you are careful with your equipment in general you will have no problems with these whatsoeverAnother great budget solution for pedalboard
28.02.2017
Brought bunch of these patch cables for my pedalboard. Mostly as a metal bass player for me it is important to avoid any unwanted filtering from both sides - high and low frequencies. And it complies with that. Simply to check by making a loop on your audio interfaces and compares both signals. Another good thing noticed was the level of isolation. No noticeable noises were detected even if parts of a chain are hard squishing compressor and heavy distorted effects. Overall build and construction quality is very good for such price. Rean connectors soldered fine so you cannot be afraid to pull them out with force. Connectors themselves requires no comments - Rean by Neutrik despite the fact they are produced in China they provide great quality and solid stability. Angled jacks are easy to use with small space between pedals. Jacks connect perfectly and does not swing inside pedals. Cable is made of a nice quality rubber and you can bend and spin it as you want within your pedalboard - it is durable and strong cable. Same as different Cordial cable I bought here on Thomann these has same great performance per buck. It can be used as spare cables for your needs. Also good choice if you are on budget. Better than any other China produced cables you can find in other stores. There are different versions of this line of cables with different length so be sure to find one that fits your needs best

Back to Basics
* Warning :) this is a long post!
In a rush? Want to see a 'short version'? Just watch this YouTube video- it pretty much sums it all up.
And for those of you who have a bit more time...
Every two weeks, I gather with my MOPS friends to share conversation and friendship. Some of our meetings focus on fellowship or crafts or personal improvement. Our last speaker was a woman named Cindy Carbone. She is well known for her dedication to spreading awareness about proper nutrition. Cindy spoke passionately to our group about the trends in fast food and mass-produced food. The quick, cheap foods that are now being sold to us on a daily basis are doing anything but nourishing our bodies. Here are few statistics that she shared with our group.
2. More than half of U.S. adults are on one or more prescription drugs at any given time.
3. One out of every two men, and one out of every three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
4. The percentage of U.S. children, and adolescents with chronic health conditions has nearly quadrupled in the past 40 years.
5.
93% of children and adolescents do not consume the recommended amount
of fruits and vegetables a day. (Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent
Medicine)
6. One in every three children born in the U.S. in the year 2000 is predicted to develop Type 2 Diabetes. (U.S. CDC)
7. By age 12, an estimated 70% of children have the beginning stages of hardening of the arteries. (Bugalosa Heart Study)
8.
Today's generation of children may be the first in two centuries to
actually live shorter lives than their parents. (New England Journal of
Med.)
"These statistics are shocking, but at the same
time, we know their cause. Doctors, and the Centers of Disease Control
know why we are dying of cancers, cardiovascular disease, and
complications from type 2 diabetes, now more than ever. They know why
our children have more cavities, more broken bones, and more chronic
health conditions than any generation before. Our health, and disease
issues today are deeply rooted in our diets, behaviors, and lifestyle
choices. "
"Our society makes it far easier to be unhealthy,
than healthy, and provides buzz words like "no sugar, low sodium, and
whole grains," on packaging to draw people into the same processed, and
chemically preserved food that is making us sick in the first place.
To eat healthy food, is to stay away from "America's food." To stay
away from brands like McDonalds, Coca Cola, Hersheys, Keebler, Kraft,
Tyson, and Kelloggs is to be in the minority, and it is anything but
easy, especially when dealing with children.
At some point in the past
40 years, cookies, candy, cakes, soda, chips, chicken nuggets, donuts,
McDonalds, Wendy's etc became known as "kids food." As a society we have
accepted this, even though giving growing and developing bodies, the
most nutrient deficient food that we can buy, makes absolutely no sense!
We have stopped cooking real food. We have turned to fast, processed
foods that are filled with sugar, sodium, chemicals, and preservatives.
Our children eat with their hands more often than they eat with a fork,
and knife!"
I don't think one woman left that meeting without taking a hard look at the food her family is consuming!
One of my goals for this year was to 'eat healthier'. And the points that Cindy covered in her presentation rang true with me.
Cindy emphasized that good eating did not mean eating low fat or being super skinny. Instead she spoke about eating real food. Food the way it was meant to be, not over-processed or filled with preservatives and hormones. She spoke to raise awareness about eating well, to improve our lives and our health. And when you think about it, who doesn't want to do feed their families the best food possible?
Now I don't claim to be all knowing, or perfect when it comes to eating. We still have things like animal crackers and gold fish crackers in our pantry. But since hearing Cindy speak, doing some online research, and watching the movie "Food Inc"- I have decided to make a few small changes. Baby steps in a journey towards a better life through smarter nutrition.
First, I have given up Diet Coke (I know! Shocking!!!). Second, we are now buying organic poultry and grain-fed beef. We are also eating more fruits and veggies. For the girls, we are trying to do less processed food. I want to see food as it really is, a way to nourish our bodies. Overall, I think we try to eat healthy, but there is room for improvement.
One thing that Cindy emphasized was cooking at home. And I love this, because as you know, we do like to cook around here. With two small children, we eat dinner at home at least 5 days a week. And fortunately, my husband is a really good cook! So armed with some new facts, we are trying to do even better by making more things here at home. Knowing what is going into our food is important and by making it at home, we can see exactly what we are eating.
Think about making homemade bread, we made several loafs from this easy recipe. It only has 5 ingredients! Find the recipe at "One Good Thing".
And there are so many great recipe blogs out there too. We are really liking SkinnyTaste.com. For dinner, we made this Light Cajun Chicken Pasta. It was delicious!

8 More Traditional Theater Practices from Around the World
Theater transforms and transcends, no matter where in the world it may take place. Traditional theater practices in different countries are influenced by history, religion, politics, conflict, and other facts of culture. Theater can be a form of celebration or rebellion, an expression of joy or that of anger. Or even a mix of both, as a true reflection of human life.
For many countries who were colonized by Western powers, their colonial history informs the kind of theater they choose to perform. Some attempt to revive stories and traditions from the pre-colonial era while others have developed a post-colonial form of theater, integrating Western influences with native language and expression. Thus, theater evolves according to the needs of its audience, telling old stories that remain relevant and introducing new stories from recent experience.
Theater can help us make peace with the past, make sense of the present, and make plans for the future.
In celebration of World Theater Day, we've put together another list of traditional theater practices around the world, complementing the list we published in 2019.
Here are some more theatrical traditions from around the world:
1. Cambodia: Lakhon Bassac
Lakhon Bassac comes from Lakhon Treoung Klok, a type of an opera show performed in the Bassac region of Kampuchea Krom, now a part of South Vietnam. In the olden days, these shows took place in the rural countryside during the dry season or after harvesting crops during a festival. Professional groups perform lakhon bassac in Cambodian cities while amateurs stage shows during harvest festivals in the countryside.
This was influenced by both Chinese and Vietnamese opera with elements such as costumes, face painting, musical instrumentations (drums, gongs, chimes, and wood blocks), sung dialogues, acrobatics, and fighting. The subject matter of the performance is usually a popularized version of Lakhon Kbach Boran, a classical court performance. Other themes come from local legends or stories from China, Vietnam, and France. This was one art form not destroyed by the Khmer Rouge but instead, it was used as propaganda.
2. Ukraine: Vertep
Vertep is a traditional form of Ukrainian puppet theater which depicts the Nativity story as well as other scenes from secular life. Typically, there are ten to 40 characters including a sacristan, angels, shepherds, Herod, three kings, Satan, Death, Russian soldiers, gypsies, a Pole, a Jew, a peasant couple, and various animals. The puppets are usually operated by only one person on a two-level stage, with the religious parts being shown on the upper level and the secular on the lower level.
The vertep appeared in Ukraine as early as the 16th century. This form of puppet theater is distinct from the Polish szopka, the Belarusian betleika, and the Russian petrushka. More recently, it has become a Christmas tradition, not only relying on puppets but with children dressing up as the various characters and performing the Nativity plays.
3. Myanmar: Anyeint
Anyeint is a form of Burmese musical theater performance consisting of dance, instrumental music, singing, and comedy routines. The dancers and comedians are dressed in sparkly costumes and are accompanied by an orchestra of oboes, a bamboo xylophone, drums, and gongs. Anyeints are usually performed in front of large, live audiences in make-shift theaters but can also be done on the streets as a kind of neighborhood entertainment.
Anyeint comes from the Burmese word for "gentle." It is a kind of pwe, the Burmese word for traditional entertainment. During the colonial era, anyeint performances integrated elements of political satire and social commentary. However, since 1988, regulations have become stricter and those who dared perform political satire are subject to arrest.
4. Iran: Ta'zieh
Ta'zieh means comfort, condolence or an expression of grief and in Iranian culture refers to a form of Condolence Theater or Passion Play inspired by the historical and religious event, the death of Hussein, the prophet Muhammad's grandson. This ritual dramatic art also draws subjects from mythical stories and folk tales and common themes include heroic tales of love, sacrifice, and resistance against evil.
Each performance has four elements: poetry, music, song, and motion. Some shows may have up to a hundred roles, all played by men, and all the action takes place on a stage without lighting or decoration. The performers rely on symbolism, conventions, and codes already familiar to the Iranian audience.
5. Ghana: Concert Party Theater
Ghanian concert party is a form of traveling popular theater where itinerant actors perform in both rural and urban cities. They put on shows in the vernacular while drawing on influences of Western culture. These performances are variety shows with elements from American movies, Latin gramophone records, African-American spirituals and highlife songs. Performers would use minstrel make-up or sometimes dress as the iconic mischief-maker Ananse, from African mythology. The actors combined slapstick musical comedies, folk stories, acrobatics, moral sermons, magical displays, and dance-music sessions.
While initially performed in English, the concert parties soon were performed in Ghanaian languages and the European songs were replaced with African pop music. The themes also changed from mocking Europeans living in Africa to promoting Ghanaian nationalism.
6. Egypt: Khayal al zill
Photo from jstor.org
Khayal Al-Zill is a form of Egyptian puppet theater performed as early as 700 years ago. The name translates to "shadows of the imagination" or "shadows of fancy" alluding to the allegorical nature of the stories depicted in these plays. These were performed during special occasions such as birthdays and weddings and especially on the nights of Ramadan. The shadow figures were around 30 centimeters tall and made of stiff, stretched camel hide and then mounted on long wooden rods. The "shadow master" would manipulate the arms and legs of the puppets using sticks.
While the subjects may have varied, the structure remained consistent. The play would begin with either a joyful song or battle, followed by a two-part prologue praising God, the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants and then presentingthe play's credits. Finally, the shadow-master thanks the audience for coming, and thanks God for giving him strength to perform.
7. Cuba: Bufo
The Bufo is a form of Cuban musical theater that originated in the nineteenth century, created by the caricaturist Francisco Covarrubias. Bufo pieces are usually short with unpredictable stories, a tinge of exoticism, and elements of political satire and social commentary. Bufo combined Spanish elements with African rhythms and choreography. The script was usually loosely defined, leaving much room for improvisation. The shows were peppered with songs and dances and ended with a rumba. Bufo theater was also used to express the Cuban's opposition to their colonial masters.
The shows included popular stock characters like el negrito ('the black boy', played by a white actor), la mulata (the mulatto woman), el gallego (the Galician), and el guajiro (the peasant). While the use of "blackface" in performances was controversial, scholars contend that this type of theatrical performance led to the development of mestizaje, "Cuba's racialized national ideology, in which African and Cuban become simultaneously mutually exclusive and mutually formative."
8. New Zealand: Haka Theater
Haka is a ceremonial dance in Māori culture that is usually performed by a group, with vigorous movements such as the stamping of feet to a rhythm and the shouting of chants. This has been performed by both men and women though it is sometimes associated with battle preparations of male warriors. Haka are performed on special occasions, to welcome guests or to celebrate milestones.
Haka Theater is a new genre of performing arts pioneered by Kura Te Ua, the co-founder of the Māori contemporary dance and performance company, Hawaiki TŪ. It is a hybrid style of performance integrating elements from the traditional haka dance. The term Haka Theater was first used in 2011 during a production of Arohanui – The Greatest Love. Another example was Autaia, a live event in Auckland which brought together three Māori schools in Tāmaki to create a 30-minute haka theater piece, further showcasing Māori culture

Big 12 Conference flips the script on the SEC when it comes to defense
Share this article
Traditionally, when viewers tuned into Big 12 conferences games they knew they would get an offensive firestorm, which looked more like a basketball score than a football game.
Meanwhile, in the SEC, fans expected to see a battle in the trenches, a full spectacle of what it means to play defensive-minded football.
AP Photo/Jeffrey McWhorter
This past season, fans received the exact opposite.
On paper, Oklahoma's defense outperformed traditional powerhouse, Alabama. In 2020, if you put the worst defense in the Big 12, which was Kansas, in the SEC, it would have ranked ahead of Vanderbilt, LSU and Ole Miss.
Recently, in an interview with College Sports on SiriusXM, Sooners coach Lincoln Riley had this to say.

Au Pied de Cochon OR Le Club Chasse et Pêche
I went back to Au Pied de Cochon yesterday, and I can absolutly say that you cannot compare both restaurants.
APdC is a brasserie, big hearty excellent meals, lots of very good wines, good service. The ambience is frantic, tables are simply set, silverware and standard, but the glassware is very nice; It's a place to have a party.
The CC&P is a more fancy restaurant, cozy, more intimate, the cooking is the same cozy, intimate, as excellent as the APdC, but touch more elaborate (IMO ).
I depends on what kind of experience you want to have.
I suggest going to APdC and sit at the bar; try having an early dinner; I came at 17:30 yesterday, I could have a chat with the Second in Charge, suggested a few things, and I could watch the whole first service at full force, all cooks going at it, no mistakes (ok, 1 dropped hamburger ), no recall that I could see, all plates delivered on time; quite a feast for the eyes and ears when you are not accustomed to how a kitchen really work when it is behind closed doors.
I made reservations at both, torn between the two! First up: CC&P. First observation: great leather chairs. Shared two appetizers: oysters and risotto. Six oysters on the shell, each pair prepared differently: two cooked hot with cheese, two others served cold with cream and caviar, two au naturel: all delicious. The risotto was cooked with shreds of braised pork: luscious, creamy, al dente rice but salty. Two mains: surf and turf and duck. The surf and turf was so-so: the lobster tail was meaty enough but no great shakes; the two chunks of Kobe beef were insanely tender and flavourful. The slices of duck magret: soooooooooo good. The duck confit okay; also salty. We also shared a plate of veggies: very good porcini with baby spinach that would've been better had they not been so salty (what was up with the salt shaker that night?), creamy parsnip puree, pan- fried white beets, and cold, nutty, tasty white beans. Scrumptious and not too sweet kumquat tart with a buttery pastry and equally scrumptious and not too sweet brownie-like cake. Service was efficient and friendly all through-out. Overall, a good, pleasant experience but not outstanding. But it is worth at least one visit. AP de C, here we come!
eoj, we were in Montreal this past week and gave AP de C a try. Question: If AP de C is supposed to be "Quebecois" type of food, can you explain what that square fried thing placed on top of my mashed potatoes was? The waitress explained it as pieces of the pig's foot ground up, however, it was quite unappetizing to me and probably requires a taste for it. As you broke through the outer crispy fried crust, what looked like cooked oatmeal came spilling out. I did honestly give it a try, but did not care for the taste at all. We did think AP de C was a really fun experience, though.
The fried cakes are made from bits of meat and cartilage and gristle that are by-products of boning out the pig's feet. Personally, I like them very much, but I could see how they would be an acquired taste. I don't think they represent a Quebec tradition so much as an approach to food that respects the animal that died and wastes as little of it as possible.
Thank you for the explanation. It wasn't the taste, really, but the way when broken open, it spilled out. Like it was uncooked. Looked very much like cooked oatmeal. Should it have been cooked firmer or is this the way it is eaten?

11.38: The Elemental Relationship as a Sub-Genre
We find the elemental relationship in all kinds of stories that are not fundamentally about relationships. The intimate interaction between characters is part of how we define the characters, how we understand who they are as they go on to do the stuff that the story is about.
In this episode we'll talk about how to apply the principles of relationship writing to stories whose page-turning impetus comes from somewhere else.

7 thoughts on "11.38: The Elemental Relationship as a Sub-Genre"
The friendly foursome face a ferocious problem, but find that they are still friends, even through thick and thin. And in this episode, they talk about various ways to use relationship, whatever lies between two characters, as seasoning and subplot in your stories! Take care of the villian, and find a friend, too? It could happen to you! So read all about in the transcript, now available in the archives and over here:
Wanted to expand upon Howard's (I believe it was Howard – sorry if I got that wrong) critique – these relationship stores about two people coming together, only to be broken apart in the sequel. I find this to be a big thing in game storytelling – particularly Uncharted. I just finished the first three games and, in every one, Nathan Drake and Elana come together only to be broken up at the start of the next game.
At first, I thought it was sexism – writers not knowing how to write for women outside of being pursued, but I'm wondering if it is more narrative laziness. What I mean by that is, what's the most obvious narrative for a relationship – two people coming together. This has the most clear cut climax and easy buildup.
I have noticed that a lot of movies and games do this. Do you think it is sexism or laziness – or the belief that relationships are only interesting when there is some drama directly involved in the status of that relationship?
This is a very linear map, and once the character wins, yeah, the drama is gone. The sort of "rubric" for the relationship is "did I get the other person."
By contrast, we can't win actual relationships, whether it is with a person we are more or less stuck with (parent, sibling) or someone we keep choosing to have in our lives (friend, spouse), or someone we have to deal with (coworker, neighbor), these relationships have to be constantly navigated. You may get to a point you are no longer in your parent's house, but now you need money for school or help with how to pay bills. You may finally get along with your coworker, but your boss changes and this derails your project. Your best friend of forever may be getting married, or moving away.
I think these obstacles within relationships make for better stories, but only work if you have actually set up a relationship. In the conquest model, there is nothing personal or emotional at stake. Just winning the affection of someone. So yeah, at that point, the only thing you can really do is "unwin."
So it's lazy, and it's arguably sexist because women-as-objects, but it's fundamentally just not a relationship below the surface. This structure gender-reversed or with same-sex couples is still problematic and unsatisfying.
Right, even though anyone who has ever been in a relationship could tell them: the tension doesn't leave once the relationship begins. It's a strangely juvenile thought process it seems – like once people are together it's just "happy ever after" unless something horrible happens.
The only TV series I've ever seen do this well was Castle, where once Castle and Beckett got together, they actually had episodes that focused on problems they had as a part of being in a relationship. That only broke down when they were grasping at straws in the final season when Beckett is like 'I have to leave you so you'll be safe …' Ugh, that was bad. I'm glad they ended it before it got really bad.
Dan — thanks for the book of the week recommendation. For all that media loves Dracula, I'm amazed by how rarely his actual history is mined — complex family dynamics, drama, intrigue: everything for a juicy story is right there for the taking! As soon as you mentioned a fascinating relationship between Lada and her brother, my ears perked up; I knew you must be talking about Radu, and that Kiersten White and I were on the same page.
Were we ever! Marvelous attention to detail and more research than I could ever have hoped for. Heard the episode Sunday, got the book Monday, finished it by Wednesday. I'm pleased to learn we'll be getting two more while dreading what's to come.

Britain pauses in respect on Remembrance Sunday
Senior politicians and the Royal family members attended the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph war memorial in London…reports Asian Lite News.
The United Kingdom on Sunday observed two minutes of silence at war memorials and services across the country to commemorate Remembrance Sunday.
Remembrance Sunday is observed on the second weekend of November every year. The said National service is being held since 1919 as an opportunity to commemorate and remember the war heroes, their sacrifices and services to defend freedoms.

Canon 6D Mark II vs Nikon P7800
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the Nikon Coolpix P7800 are two digital cameras that were announced, respectively,
in June 2017 and September 2013. The 6D Mark II is a DSLR, while the P7800 is a fixed lens compact. The cameras are based on a full frame (6D Mark II) and a 1/1.7-inch (P7800) sensor. The Canon has a resolution of 26 megapixels, whereas the Nikon provides 12 MP.
Below is an overview of the main specs of the two cameras as a starting point for the comparison.
Going beyond this snapshot of core features and characteristics, what are the differences between the Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the
Nikon Coolpix P7800 6D Mark II and the Nikon P7800 Nikon P7800 is considerably smaller (42 percent) than the Canon 6D Mark II. It is worth mentioning in this context that the 6D Mark II is splash and dust resistant,
while the P7800 does not feature any corresponding weather-sealing.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete and possibly misleading, as the P7800 has a lens built in,
whereas the 6D Mark II is an interchangeable lens camera that requires a separate lens. Attaching the latter will add extra weight and bulk to the setup. You can compare the optics available for the 6D Mark II and their specifications in the Canon EF Lens Catalog P7800 was launched at a lower price than the 6D Mark II 6D Mark II features a full frame sensor and the Nikon P7800
a 1/1.7-inch sensor. The sensor area in the P7800 is 95 percent smaller. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 1.0 and 4.5. The sensor in the 6D Mark II has a native 3:2 aspect ratio, while the one in the P7800 offers a 4:3 aspect.
With 26MP, the 6D Mark II offers a higher
resolution than the P7800 (12MP), but the 6D Mark II nevertheless has larger individual pixels (pixel pitch of
5.76μm versus 1.89μm for the P7800) due to its larger sensor. Moreover, the 6D Mark II is a much more recent model (by 3 years and 9 months) than the P7800, and its sensor
will have benefitted from technological advances during this time that further enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixels.
The 6D Mark II has on-sensor phase detect pixels, which results in fast and reliable autofocus acquisition even during live view operation.
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 40000, which can be extended to ISO 50-102400.
The corresponding ISO settings for the Nikon Coolpix P7800 are ISO 80 to ISO 3200, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 80-6400.
In terms of underlying technology, the 6D Mark II is build around a CMOS sensor,
while the P7800 6D Mark II provides substantially higher image quality than the P7800, with an overall score that is 31 points higher. This advantage is based on 3.2 bits higher color depth, 0.2 EV in additional dynamic range, and 3.82345.

Feature comparison
Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the P7800 has an electronic viewfinder (921k dots), while the 6D Mark II has an optical one.
Both systems have their advantages, with the electronic viewfinder making it possible to project supplementary shooting information
into the framing view, whereas the optical viewfinder offers lag-free viewing and a very clear framing image. The following table reports on some other key feature differences and similarities of the Canon 6D Mark II, the Nikon P78002345.

Note: *) Information refers to the mechanical shutter, unless the camera only has an electronic one.
One feature that is present on the 6D Mark II, but is missing on the P7800 is a top-level LCD.
While being, of course, smaller than the rear screen, the control panel conveys some of the essential shooting information and can be convenient for quick and easy settings verification.
Both cameras have an articulated rear screen that can be turned to be front-facing. This feature will be particularly
appreciated by vloggers and photographers who are interested in taking selfies.

It is notable that the 6D Mark II offers wifi support, while the P7800 does not.
Wifi can be a very convenient means to transfer image data to an off-camera location.
Travel and landscape photographers will find it useful that the 6D Mark II has an internal geolocalization sensor and can record GPS coordinates
in its EXIF data.
The 6D Mark II is a recent model that features in the current product line-up of Canon.
In contrast, the P7800 has been discontinued (but can be found pre-owned on ebay). There has not been a direct replacement model for the P7800 from Nikon. Further information on the features and operation of the 6D Mark II and P7800 can be found, respectively, in the
Canon 6D Mark II Manual (free pdf) or the
online Nikon P7800 Manual.
Review summary
So what is the bottom line? Is there a clear favorite between the Canon 6D Mark II and the Nikon P7800? Which camera is better? The listing below highlights the relative strengths of the two models.
Reasons to prefer the Nikon Coolpix P7800:
Ready to shoot: Comes with an integrated lens, while the 6D Mark II requires a separate lens.
More compact: Is smaller (119x78mm vs 144x111mm) and will fit more readily into a bag.
Less heavy: Has a lower weight even though it has a lens built in (unlike the 6D Mark II). at a lower price, despite coming with a built-in lens.
More heavily discounted: Has been around for much longer (launched in September 2013).
If the count of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a measure, the 6D Mark II is the clear winner of the match-up (19 : 96D Mark II 19:09 P7800
How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Canon 6D Mark II and the Nikon P7800 6D Mark II or the P7800

John brown was a truly radical figure: someone who refused to use peaceful, institutional means to solve the problems of slavery instead, brown believed that violence and physical force were necessary to end slavery in america. John brown was born in torrington, connecticut on may 9, 1800 into a deeply religious family the family was led by a staunchly anti-slavery father, owen brown, who was an agent for the underground railroad. John brown (may 9, 1800 – december 2, 1859) was an american abolitionist who believed in and advocated armed insurrection as the only way to overthrow the institution of slavery in the united states.
After her escape from slavery in 1849, harriet tubman defiantly reentered the slave-holding south approximately 19 times to lead more than 300 men, women, and children, to freedom in the north and canada. As frederick douglass said, if john brown did not end the war that ended slavery, he did, at least, begin the war that ended slavery until this blow was struck, the prospect for freedom was dim, shadowy, and uncertain. But in re-centering the story on the freedom seeker, and on african-american communities of support, at times we seem to have forgotten the multi-racial aspects of the underground railroad.

Achieving unrealistic running goals since 2008
Monday, August 16, 2010
What used to be unrealistic was me just running a marathon. Now the unrealistic part that I'm achieving is running faster.
The past couple weeks I've been doing interval training. Mostly I run/walk at 3/6 mph. But sometimes I kick it up to run 7 or 7.5. That's big for me. When I first started running in 2006 for the Couch to 5K program, I was running at 4 mph.
Sunday, August 15, 2010
My family and I have won lottery tickets for the Aramco Half Marathon! Hubby (yes, he's now my hubby!) and I debated a lot about how to train. I loved running with HoustonFit, but the downsides are its just too freaking hot outside, and when it does cool off, they still meet really early in the morning. Plus, when you have someone to run with, it's a lot easier to stick to your own schedule.
So, we will not be joining a running club. I have developed a plan myself, combining HoustonFit, Galloway, Hal Higdon, and the Couch to 5K program.
Today was the official start, although I've been running 2-3 miles on a pretty regular basis lately. Today's run was 2.65 miles long (2.5 plus cool down, 32 minutes total). I ran 19 of those minutes at 6 mph (on the treadmill) and then 13 of those minutes at 3.5 mph (walking on the treadmill).
We are also in for the Texas Independence Relay again, and I'm hoping to do the Gateway to the Bay Triathlon.
Friday, December 18, 2009
I've been absent from blogging, and wanted to post quickly in remembrance. My dad passed away November 8th, 2009. He was my inspiration for running, the whole reason I run marathons was because I knew that if my dad could do it I could. Thanks Dad, I miss you.
Monday, October 26, 2009
I'm getting a bit spoiled by the cool weather. Sunday was significantly warmer then recent, so instead of getting up super early to run, I opted to sleep in instead. However, I did get to the gym in the afternoon, and stayed on the treadmill for an hour! I ran about 4.5 miles:
I actually ran out of time...at 60 minutes the treadmill automatically starts a cool down phase. :) Oh, and what helped me not get bored on the treadmill? Thankfully at Crew it's never very crowded, so I was able to plop down right in front of a TV, get the remote all to myself, put on the Men in Black movie, AND set up the large fan directly behind me. Oh, life at a gym is plush.
This morning DF and I got up to go to the gym. I started with a mile run:
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Yay! This morning when I woke up (at 7:15 am) it was 54 degrees out! Perfect for a run, if not a bit cold.
DF and I headed out for the run a bit before 8. He biked while I ran. I covered a little less then 12 miles. I drank a lot of water (a gallon!) and ate 4 Gu packets. I def got tired out towards the end, but it felt pretty good.
However, I was exhausted afterwards! I really need to get back to mandatory nap time.
My course was out our block the long way and then around W. 11th St Park and then all the way up the White Oak Bayou Trail and back. It was georgeous out, and eventually got pretty sunny...I'm not quite burned but my freckles multiplied.
Yay! I'm officially tapering. I have been thinking about doing the Koala and Luke's Locker Half, but it's just so time consuming and I dont want to be a zombie all day Sunday (we're carving pumpkins!)

Angiomyolipoma is a type of kidney tumor that is typically benign. While there are many types, most angiomyolipoma growths consist of abnormal collections of fat, smooth muscle cells, and blood vessels. They are one of the most prevalent benign renal masses.
Angiomyolipomas are typically sporadic, and doctors do not associate them with family history. The prevalence of sporadic cases is thought to be 0.44%.
However, in some cases, they may occur as part of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) disease. With this rare genetic condition, numerous benign tumors develop in various parts of the body.
TSC may occur as a result of mutations in specific genes — TSC1 or TSC2 — which typically provide instructions for the production of proteins hamartin and tuberin. These proteins have tumor suppressor functions, which means that they help regulate cell growth and division. Mutations in these genes can lead to the production of angiomyolipomas.
Most people do not have symptoms when their doctor diagnoses them with angiomyolipoma.
If someone has symptoms, it most frequently relates to a spontaneous and potentially life threatening hemorrhage. However, this occurs in less than 15% of cases. The bleeding can lead to shock in around 1 in 3 individuals.
Doctors typically find angiomyolipomas incidentally when they image the kidneys for other reasons, such as blood in the urine or a suspected kidney stone or obstruction. Angiomyolipomas have a typical appearance and may not require further diagnosis.
However, if a doctor requires further evaluation of the kidney mass, they can use various imaging studies. Doctors may use CT, ultrasound, or MRI scans to evaluate the tumor and distinguish it from other types of kidney tumors.
Doctors will look for the presence of fat in the tumor. This is a hallmark feature of angiomyolipoma that does not typically appear in renal cell carcinomas. Although, in around 5% of cases, angiomyolipomas are fat-poor, meaning there is a low level of fat within them.
However, doctors can typically distinguish angiomyolipomas from renal cell carcinoma by checking for calcification, which means looking for deposits of calcium. Angiomyolipomas typically do not show calcification.
Most people with kidney angiomyolipomas do not develop symptoms and may not require treatment.
Some situations where a doctor may recommend treatment are ones in which:
they suspect that the tumor is malignant (cancerous)
there is spontaneous hemorrhaging that leads to serious symptoms
there is a risk of the tumor rupturing, which is where the tumor breaks off and fragments enter the blood
other complications of the disease occur
a person has a large tumor
In some cases, particularly when the angiomyolipoma causes symptoms, a doctor may suggest the following:
Selective renal artery embolization: A minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter through an artery into the leg and guiding it to the renal arteries. The surgeon then injects particles into the blood vessels around the tumor, blocking its blood flow and reducing its size.
Nephron-sparing surgery: This procedure removes the tumor while preserving as much kidney tissue as possible.
Ablation: Some methods include cryoablation and radiofrequency techniques. These procedures involve using extreme cold or heat to destroy tumor tissue.
Treatment with mTOR inhibitors: These medications may help individuals with TSC manage their angiomyolipomas.
Pregnant people with tumors larger than 4 centimeters may also be given prophylactic treatment even when they have no symptoms. Prophylactic treatment is treatment that aims to prevent a disease from developing.
In around 8 in 10 cases, angiomyolipomas are isolated tumors that most commonly affect middle-aged females.
The remaining 2 in 10 cases occur in individuals with TSC or lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Both of these are hereditary (inherited) conditions.
LAM is a lung disease involving the abnormal growth of smooth muscle cells in the lungs and lymphatic system.
In people with TSC and LAM, angiomyolipoma affects all genders equally and often begins at a younger age. Angiomyolipomas are also more likely to be aggressive, multiple, large, and occur in both kidneys.
Some factors that can impact angiomyolipoma rupture, where the tumor breaks and enters the blood, include:
Angiomyolipomas are benign tumors that can occur in the kidneys. Typically, they cause no symptoms, and doctors find them when imaging the kidneys for other reasons.
However, angiomyolipomas can cause flank pain, UTI, and blood in the urine in some cases. In cases where angiomyolipoma causes symptoms, doctors may suggest treatments to block the blood supply to the tumor or remove it. Treatment may require surgery.
The outlook for someone with an angiomyolipoma is good. However, an angiomyolipoma can cause life threatening hemorrhages in rare cases

A Build of Dead Island 2 Has Leaked Online
A Build of Dead Island 2 Has Leaked Online
An old build of Dead Island 2 from back in 2015 has leaked online and looks basically how you would expect.
Well here is something that you just don't see every day. A build of the 2015 Dead Island 2 has been leaked online and has been making its way around the Internet. Below you will find multiple screenshots from the leaked build. Be aware, this game certainly looks like an unreleased build of a 2015 game.
Below you will find some screenshots from the game. Of course, if/when the game does release, it might look nowhere similar to theses screenshots. As games shift to new developers, the game could get possibly stripped all together and be built from the ground up once again. And again, they look dated because well, they are.
The game has been bouncing around for as long as I can remember. YAGER had been developing the game at first in Unreal Engine 4. Then, it is now reportedly being developed by Dambuster Studios based on a job application they posted for the Dead Island franchise. In mid last year, THQ Nordic mentioned that we would soon be hearing about the game. It has now been over a year and we still haven't heard a peep about the game.
You know, games that have undergone development hell, rarely pop out and become commercial successes. It is very rare that a game has multiple long delays and ghosts fans for years only to release and actually be a polished product. Just look at Crackdown 3. Hopefully, that is the last time I ever mention that game for quite some time.
Still, I am looking forward to seeing what they have done with Dead Island 2 and I am sure THQ Nordic will share some details on the game sometime soon.

Description:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
The best known prior art to applicant is the usual system of coupling one pipe to another pipe through the utilization of mating flanges. Normally, a gasket is placed between the flanges in order to provide a pressure fluid seal. The flangesare bolted together through mating holes in the usual manner. The problem with the prior art coupler is that forces caused by external changes in the pipe position causes excessive stress to be placed upon the flange, the bolts coupling the flange andthe apparatus which is attached to the pipes being coupled by the flange such as, for example, a series of slurry pumps.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention discloses a method for coupling one pipe to another so that the pipe can undergo torque, vertical or horizontal movement of the axis of the pipe being coupled and still provide a reduced stress on the preceding pipe flange andequipment attached thereto. The above is accomplished by providing a pipe portion which is sealed to the flange but yet is free to rotate about its axis. Rather than the pipe portion being coupled at its attachment to the flange, it is coupled at aspaced distance from the flange by long bolts. The bolts provide movement for the pipe portion vertically or horizontally as well as rotationally; and, furthermore, the bolts provide a certain stress relief when tension is applied to the coupling.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
FIG. 1 is a partial cutaway perspective view of a flexible coupler;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the flexible coupler installed on a series of slurry pumps;
FIG. 3 is a modified end view of a version of a restraining means;
FIG. 4 is a cutaway view of another embodiment of the restraining means illustrated in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is an end view showing a modified view of the restraining means illustrated in FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to all of the figures but in particular to FIG. 1, a flexible pipe joint coupler is illustrated and essentially comprises a pipe portion 10 which has a first end 11 and a second end 12 with an axis illustrated by line 13. The pipeportion 10 is adapted for mating with any usual pipe having a suitable mating flange or attachment means. The invention is illustrated as being coupled to a slurry pump input which generally comprises a nozzle 14 which has a flange 15 at its terminus. The slurry pump input also includes a wear liner 16. The wear liner 16 is generally included only in those systems where wear is an important factor and needs to be replaced periodically in order to prevent erosion of the main nozzle 14. Such a wearliner is not necessary to the utilization of the invention but is only illustrated here as another application of the flexible flange joint coupler. A pad 17 is usually provided to minimize induced stresses between the wear liner 16 and nozzle 14.
The invention basically comprises a means for providing a flexible coupling to flange 15. The above is accomplished by attaching an alignment flange or ring 18 to flange 15 by means of bolts 19 and nuts 20 and 21. It is obvious that there areseveral bolts 19 spaced around flange 15 and alignment flange 18 in order to securely attach alignment ring 18 to flange 15. Placed between alignment flange 18 and liner 16 is a gasket generally referred to by arrow 22. Gasket 22 is made of twoportions, a steel ring 23 and a flexible portion 24. Flexible portion 24 can be made of any synthetic plastic or any rubber, depending upon the pressures and materials being transported through the pipe. Normally, flexible portion 24 is bonded to metalring 23.
Alignment flange 18 also incorporates a slight bevel 25 which is used in assisting in the insertion of end 11 into alignment ring 18. Pipe portion 10 has a restraining means located at a position spaced from end 11. The restraining meansgenerally includes a raised portion such as a flange 26 formed in the outside wall and extending completely around pipe portion 10. Flange 26 will generally lay in a plane normal to the axis 13 of pipe portion 10. A restraining ring 27 has an innerdiameter 28 which is larger than the outer diameter of pipe portion 10 and smaller than the maximum height of flange 26 so that restraining ring 27 will engage flange 26 and not move toward end 11 when force is applied to pipe portion 10 or pressure isapplied through the attaching means to be described. Restraining ring 27 is coupled to flange 15 through an extension 19a of bolts 19 and is further restrained through nuts 29 and 30. End portion 12 is shown with a welding bevel and is generallyattached to a succeeding pipe by the usual means, such as welding. It is obvious that other means can be used to attached the pipe portion 10, such as a flange, for example.
A notch referred to by arrow 31 has an edge 32, the use of which will be described in the Operation section.
OPERATION
The flexible flange joint coupler functions in the following manner:
Gasket 22 is inserted in a space provided at the end of liner 16. Alignment flange or ring 18 is then placed over a portion of gasket 22 and bolts 19 with nuts 20 and 29 loosely screwed onto the nuts, is inserted through the openings 33 inalignment flange 18 and 34 in flange 15. After bolts 19 are inserted through holes 33 and 34, nuts 20 and 21 are tightened until flange 18 is securely attached to flange 15. Bolts 19 are inserted in all of the holes inserted around flange 18 and flange15. If the succeeding pipe is already attached to pipe portion 10, then restraining ring 27 should already have been placed around the pipe. If the pipe is to be attached later, then pipe portion 10 should be slipped into alignment ring 18. Bevel 25assists in the insertion of end 11 into alignment ring 18. It is obvious that the outside diameter of pipe portion 10 should be fairly close to the inside diameter of alignment ring 18. Once pipe 10 is inserted into alignment ring 18, then restrainingring 17 is pushed over the extension 19a of bolts 19 and nuts 30 are evenly tightened around ring 27. Then nuts 30 are carefully tightened until the edge 32 of notch 31 is in alignment with the edge 35 of alignment ring 18. This will determine theproper amount of compression for gasket portion 24.
Referring to FIG. 2 the advantages of the flexible pipe joint are illustrated. Pumps 40 and 41 are attached normally to a foundation 42 and 43, respectively. In order to simplify the description, the driving and gearing apparatus is notillustrated and forms no part of this invention. Pumps 40 and 41 are coupled at their inputs by means of pipe 45 and pipe 46, respectively, with pipe 46 being coupled through a flexible flange joint coupler generally referred to by an arrow 47. In theactual installation of a system as illustrated in FIG. 2, when a pump such as 40 or 41 is pressured, a diaphragm effect occurs on the casing of the pump. Thus the sides of the pump will move outwardly in the direction of arrows 48 and 49. This outwardmovement of pump 41 will cause horizontal rotation of the axis 13 of pipe coupler 47. An elevation shift or change in the height of foundation 43, for example, will cause a vertical rotation of axis 13 about flange 15. If the foundations should move inthe direction of arrows 50, then compression would result along axis 13 at coupler 47 and if the foundations should move in the direction of arrows 51, then an elongation of pipe portion 47 would result. The elongation, however, will create asubstantial stress on the flange 15 and alignment ring 18 along with bolts 19, as well as the mounting and attaching bolts for the pump itself. The stress, however, can be substantially reduced and relieved by the extension 19a of bolts 19. Thus thelength of the bolts provides an equalization of the stress being provided to the coupling. Rotational forces are easily accommodated by the joint sections. There is no rigid contact between end 11 and alignment ring 18 along with the long extension 19aof bolts 19. Vertical and horizontal stresses are, likewise, accommodated in the same manner. Thus the lack of a rigid attachment of end 11 to alignment 18 provides for horizontal and vertical movement as well as rotational movement. With the abovecoupling together with the elongated bolts, the joint is free to move in nearly any direction without transmitting substantial stress to the preceding flange and its equipment.
MODIFICATIONS
The restraining flange can have one of several configurations. The preferred embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1, however, bosses can be attached in the manner illustrated in FIG. 3 or 4 and still accomplish the same result. For example, radialextensions 55 forming bosses attached to pipe portion 10 can be extended to where mounting holes 56 can be drilled through the extensions so that bolt extension 19a can be inserted therethrough and the modification functions similar to the combination ofthe flange 26 and restraining ring 27 illustrated in FIG. 1.
In FIG. 4 pipe portion 10 can have brackets 57 attached to it by any usual method such as welding. If the brackets are short, a restraining ring 27 can be used and can be extended with holes 56 drilled through them so that it will function inthe same manner as the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 3.
In FIG. 5 extensions 58 are cast into pipe portion 10 and restraining means 27 is used as described in FIG. 1.
CONCLUSIONS
Several modifications have been illustrated. Basically the invention comprises a pipe portion without a rigid attachment to the flange so that the pipe portion is free to rotate or move horizontally or vertically as necessary to accommodatestress being applied to the pipe attached to the pipe portion. The invention further incorporates a flexible means of attaching the pipe portion to the flange so that the pipe portion will also maintain a tight seal while it is free to move along anyaxis to accommodate the change. Several changes of the restraining means have been illustrated. It is obvious that other modifications can be made and still be well within the skill of the art.
It is obvious that changes can be made in the application and still be within the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the specification and appended claims.

Applying to Medical School Late in the Cycle?
At the time of this post, it isn't quite considered late in the 2017 application cycle. What is considered late? And is it even worth applying after a certain date?
When you submit your AMCAS is one of the only things that you will have control over in your medical school application. After that, it can feel like luck of the draw to many applicants. However, there are many reasons why some applicants are late to the game: a delayed MCAT, waiting on grades, a hectic work or family life, and even just plain laziness. What should they do?
If you find yourself in this situation at the end of August or even later, should you still apply or wait? The answer to this question depends greatly on yourself. Keep in mind that many schools have rolling admissions, so you are competing with thousands of other applicants for fewer spots. Here are some points to consider when deciding to apply after August:
See if you are a competitive student. One invaluable for those who think they want to try is the MSAR. Use this to see how your MCAT and GPA compare to other accepted students. Later in the cycle, you will want to be very competitive with those previously accepted.
Weigh the value of your experiences. As a potential late applicant, you should reflect on your own extracurriculars and experiences. Medical schools are placing more and more emphasis on valuable experiences in order to separate applicants. If your application could use some time for additional experiences, you might be better off applying in the next cycle.
Can you afford to apply and not get accepted? There is more to lose than your application fees. Although most schools will generously allow you to pay to write their secondary essays, they may not be so forgiving if you decide to apply again the next cycle. Medical schools will expect to see personal development and growth from your previous application. This could push back your eventual acceptance even further.
It is true that every applicant's situation is different. So, if you find yourself contemplating applying to medical school later in the cycle, make sure you understand the risks. That being said, if you have a strong application and apply to the right schools, you could become a doctor a year or more sooner. People do get accepted with late applications, however, you can give yourself the best odds and potentially save time and money by waiting until the next cycle. If you do apply late, do not quit your extracurriculars or other activities that could boost your application in the unfortunate event of a rejection.
Good luck!

Are You Losing Your Mind?
But what about our brains? Are you doing everything possible to make sure it maintains optimal function? If you're not eating well and exercising regularly, it's likely that your cognitive function will decline at an accelerated rate.
I will go into more detail below, but for those of you in a hurry, here are the keys to maintaining brain health:
Circulation: Blood carries oxygen to the brain. Exercise is the key to getting blood to the periphery-your hands feet and brain.
Stimulation: Neurons are constantly branching out seeking new connections. Mental stimulation is key so continuing to work and learn new skills is critical
Nutrition: The brain uses a lot of energy as well, so good circulation also carries key nutrients, including sugar, to the brain. Moreover, the brain cells require a healthy phospholipid membrane to function properly (think poly-unsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs). Here, supplementing with things like fish oil are supportive.
Protection: Both drugs and physical trauma (concussions) can destroy brain cells. When the body goes to clean up those damaged cells, it can also attack healthy cells (auto-immunity) or just be overzealous in the process. Either way, you lose healthy tissue. We know Glutathione to play a key role in quenching free radicals in the brain.
So what can you do?
First and foremost, you will want to exercise on a regular basis. This improves blood sugar metabolism, lowers weight, and promotes circulation. You can also supplement with long-chain fatty acids like EPA and DHA. Generally EPA is considered protective against inflammation in the body, while DHA is taken up by the brain. Since individuals who consumer higher amounts of DHA have a lower risk of cognitive decline- Alzheimer's and depression for example- it makes sense to add fish oil to your diet (1, 2)
How much fish oil?
If you are treating a chronic condition like Crohn's or cardiovascular disease, consider taking up to 1-2g of DHA per day. Otherwise 500mg/day should be sufficient. Cod Liver Oil is an especially good source of Omega 3s and also contains vitamins A & D. There are many good brands on the market, including those produced by Standard Process, Green Pastures, and Rosita Foods. Do your own research and decide.
Can I eat fish? What about the mercury?
Two 6-8-ounce servings or 12-16 ounces per weeks should provide you with more than enough EPA and DHA weekly, but you are always welcome to supplement with additional fish oil if you are treating a chronic condition. If you are concerned about mercury, read this terrific article by Chris Kresser: 5 Reasons why concerns about mercury in fish are misguided.
Getting technical: What are long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids?
Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA), including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA), are incorporated into membrane phospholipids and, apart from their structural role in these membranes, they also act as precursors of autocoid signaling molecules (e.g., docosanoids) and as potent activators of a number of gene transcription factors (e.g., peroxisome proliferator activated receptors). 3

An epileptic writing about epilepsy, the brain, and perception
Menu
Tag Archives: emotions
Being epileptic means that the world is divided into normal people and epileptics. Even the weirdest of you normal people are normal. The only people I've ever met who aren't normal are other epileptics. They seem normal, not your kind of normal, but epileptic normal. I think what makes you all the same is all those emotions. You have an incredible range of emotions. You get upset all the time and feel intensely about things that I have no idea it's even possible to feel intensely about. It's like you all feel in vivid colors and I feel in black and white, and I can see only a fraction of what you all get so worked up about. As I age my brain gets more steadily fried from all the loose wiring and zaps and my emotional range gets narrower and narrower till you all become virtually incomprehensible at times, colors that I not only can't see but have no idea even exist. I just watch you all emote, bemused, and try not to get involved.
I tried to write fiction for years. Some of the writing could be very pretty, but the characters were ludicrous, utterly unreal. A couple decades later it finally dawned on me that I hadn't a clue what people felt, no idea at all. I couldn't write about anybody else but me and if I was going to write about me why bother with fiction at all? How Dostoevsky wrote those vast character rich novels bewilders me, because he was one fucked up spazz who drove everyone he knew nuts. But somehow he made normal people think he was writing about them. Completely mystifies me. Maybe my bewilderment is why I don't read fiction anymore. I have a huge stack of novels here to read, but I haven't read one in decades. I used to love them. I remember some of the last fiction I read was the Alexandria Quartet twice in a year or so and having my mind blown. My whole writing style changed. How it changed I don't know. I wish I'd written how. Now it's just part of another life many seizures ago. A life that doesn't even seem like my own. The brain changes, identity with it. Memories vanish. Emotions slip away. I think about myself then in the third person, in various third persons even. A succession of Bricks

A billboard van will tour the city with a sign that reads: "Keep Notre Dame High School a positive choice for Glasgow's girls."
Michelle Watt, chairwoman of the parent council, said there was an overwhelming feeling against the move to making the school mixed sex.
She said: "The ad is to show the strength of feeling many parents have about wanting to keep the school as a positive choice for families.
"For more than 120 years the school has opened its doors to girls from Pollokshields to Partick, from the west end to Easterhouse.
"The school is almost full, with a roll currently made up of 78 per cent placing requests, showing that families are actively choosing to send their girls to benefit from its inclusive and girl-centric environment."
Following campaigning from primary school parents in the catchment area, Glasgow City Council agreed to launch a public consultation last month.
Three public meetings are also being held with the first one taking place at Notre Dame High School, in the west end, tomorrow.
The consultation runs until Sunday, May 26.
There are three options that can be commented on: keep the school as it is with the same catchment; keep the school as it is with an increased catchment area; change the school to allow boys.
Ms Watt added: "Notre Dame High is one of the top performing secondaries in Glasgow and is actively contributing to narrowing the attainment gap between the city's wealthiest and most deprived pupils

A Guide to Biosafety in the Lab
A Guide to Biosafety in the Lab
Many laboratories work with substances that can be harmful if they are handled incorrectly and none more so than labs dealing with biological agents. Work or research involving infectious agents is highly regulated, and various safety procedures must be followed to ensure that laboratory personnel, the community and the environment are all protected.
Biological agents are graded in levels of how dangerous they are, and as the biological safety levels increase so do the constraints and barriers that apply. From biological agents that have been cultured in the lab to things like animal pathogens that workers might come into contact with accidentally – biosafety regulations and best practice apply to a wide area of lab research. Make sure you've got all the information you need to protect your staff, the environment, and the local community with our comprehensive guide to biosafety in the lab.
Quick Navigation
Biosafety Levels
The four biosafety levels are designed to protect against specific biological agents, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, prions, rickettsia agents, and viruses. Probably the most important of safety measures are for the containment of viruses, which can spread quickly and do serious damage if accidentally released. The level of risk posed by a biological agent is determined using three criteria: pathogenicity, the availability of medical countermeasure or prophylactic treatment, and its potential to spread. Biosafety levels are designed to identify what safety measures should be in place for the agents a lab is using to prevent contamination.
Level 1
Level one is the lowest level of biosafety and applies to agents that pose minimal threat and do not consistently cause illness in healthy adults. Research in these labs does not usually require speciality containment equipment and the labs themselves do not have to be isolated from the general building. Standard microbiology practices are usually sufficient to achieve successful containment. These include the use of mechanical pipetting, safe sharps handling, careful handling of substances, and thorough housekeeping.
Decontamination of work surfaces, spills, and materials are all important. Standard personal protective equipment such as lab coats, gloves, and eye protection are sufficient.
Level 2
The second biosafety level covers labs that are working with agents associated with human disease. This includes pathogens or infectious organisms that pose a hazard to human health, such as equine encephalitis and HIV. Often, level two labs have a bigger focus on careful handling to avoid any injury that pierces the skin, as well as avoiding ingestion or mucus membrane exposure to contaminants.
An eyebath station should also be available. Cautious handling of sharps and puncture-resistant sharps containers are also mandatory. Labs with level two ratings should have a biosafety manual detailing required immunisation and whether serum banking is required to protect staff. A biosafety cabinet or equivalent device should be used for effective containment and an autoclave should be used for proper decontamination.
Level 3
Biosafety level three applies to labs working with agents that are strictly controlled and must be registered with the appropriate government agencies. Agents requiring level three biosafety are serious or lethal diseases that can be passed on through simple inhalation of particles or droplets. In addition to the safety procedures applicable at level two, more stringent access control and decontamination of waste processes apply. For example, lab clothing must be decontaminated prior to laundering within the lab facility.
Baseline serum samples should also be collected from all at-risk personnel. Solid-front wraparound gowns, scrub suits or overalls, and respirators are necessary. Access should be separate from general building corridors and incorporate self-closing double doors. Ventilation should provide ducted, directional airflow from a clean area, with no recirculation.
Level 4
Agents that pose a high risk of deadly disease require level four biosafety, to provide maximum protection and containment. In addition to the safety precautions required at biosafety level three, level four requires complete clothing change before entry to the lab, a shower on exit, and decontamination of all materials before leaving the facility. A Class III biological safety cabinet is required and the laboratory should be completely isolated from the main building. The lab should have dedicated supply and exhaust ventilation, with exhaust streams being filtered through high-efficiency particulate air filters.
Emergency Procedure
In the case of a biosafety emergency, all the responsible bodies should be informed, including the appropriate government departments. Under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) any incidents, accidents or infections involving biological agents at work must be reported. Depending on the incident, these will either be referred to the Health and Safety Executive or the Health Protection Agency. Procedure for reporting incidents is quick and simple, with a form that can be completed and submitted online. This should be performed by the laboratory owner or manager.

6 Reasons Why Mobile Apps Are Better Than Websites For Your Business
We are living in a mobile era, the number of people who use mobile phones to browse the internet is higher when compared to the number of desktop users. As a result, mobile channels have become new and essential tools for businesses to attract more customers. However, that's not enough, and they also need to upgrade their mobile apps to provide a better customer experience throughout the customer journey and optimize their conversion rates. Some businesses offer both mobile apps and websites to their customers, other enterprises choose one among the two. They make the choice between mobile apps and websites based on their budget, convenience, essential functions they need, and the type of customers they have. The studies show that people prefer mobile apps more than websites and businesses should take advantage of the channel to reach more audiences. Additionally, this alone becomes a solid reason to have a dedicated mobile app for your business to reach out to potential customers. Our mobile app development service in Dubai has many advantages to make mobile apps better than mobile websites.
Here is some reason which shows that mobile app is better than websites.
1 Mobile app offers better customization

As a result, it has become easier than ever before to identify and sort your target customers with a personalized experience for all. In addition, mobile apps can let users change their preferences at any point in time, they receive content based on their interests. Apps developed by our mobile app development service in Dubai can also track customer engagement then use it as fuel to push custom recommendations and updates based on the interest of the user. Moreover, you can also understand the location of the users in real-time to offer geography-based content. Additionally, improving user experience is not the only purpose of having a mobile app but the easy customization that comes with the app and also it provides a better conversion rate of apps.
2 Ease of sending notifications
Mobile app notifications are one of the most effective ways of a communication channel to businesses especially for industries like E-commerce. These notifications are classified into two, push and in-app notification. In addition, they are thrilling alternatives for other marketing platforms with app personalization in a far less intruding manner. Our mobile app development service in Dubai designs the app to send instant, notifications that can be also sent based on the user's interest or the branding that it is one of the main reasons why many people want to have a mobile app for the business. In-app notifications are received by users while they are using the app in real-time. On the other hand, push notifications can be sent to the user's mobile regardless of time and it is very useful to optimize the conversion.

3 Taking advantage of mobile device functionality
Mobile apps have the great advantage of effectively using the functionalities of such us camera, mobile contacts, location, sensors, and many more. These features can also improve customer engagement by providing customized deals based on customers' preferences. For instance, customers can take photographs if required during any process. Hire our mobile app development service in Dubai that fits your business needs.
4 Ability to work offline in mobile app
One of the biggest differences between a mobile website and an application is that the app can work even without internet connectivity. However, apps need basic internet connectivity to perform most tasks, including booking or buying. An app can still offer basic functionalities to users even when they are not connected to the internet.
5 Better branding experience in mobile app development
The mobile app is more useful when compared to a website, which also offers a better experience for the customers. People spend a considerable amount of their time on mobile phones and on various mobile app almost every day. It's no surprise that the users come across apps that are on their devices almost every day. This everyday engagement can be effectively used for branding opportunities for the apps. In addition, even if the customers are not regularly opening your mobile application, you can send notifications to get reminded about the brand. The app icon plays a role in branding, they can be stylish and represents the brand's identity. Our branding & mobile app development service in Dubai designs apps that can indirectly attract customers. Mobile users spend more than 90% of their time on mobile apps when compared to the time spent browsing websites through mobile devices.
6 Apps are faster and responsive than websites
A responsive mobile app can outperform actions much faster compared to a mobile website.
The mobile application saves the user information internally on mobile devices itself, while websites usually use internet servers. This enables the mobile application to work seamlessly and provide a better user experience for your customers. Moreover, mobile applications can also save time for users by showing relevant content based on interest and preferences set by the user.

15.05.2019: Campground – Izmir
Today was a little different.
As we did not cover that many kilometers on the previous day, the plan was to get further today. So, after packing up our tent and saying goodby to the campground animals, we got back to the main road again. Yesterday evening Ufuk had sent us a message asking about our whereabouts and how we were doing. Also, he stated that if we were near Izmir, we could meet for a drink as he was in Izmir for work. We did however, only read the message the next morning.
So we sent him a reply explaining the situation and offering to come to Izmir for lunch. On the way we checked for replies multiple times but did not receive any. Soon we were on the highway near Izmir and planned to stop soon in order to write to Ufuk about our location and that it would therefore be impossible to meet.
As we were overtaking a small truck, Fabi shouted something with a touch of panic in her voice: "Something is wrong with my bike, I cannot accelerate". So we pulled over on the shoulder and began to stop. As we were braking, Fabi passed Chris. He could now see that her bike was dragging its chain behind – it had ripped. Once we were stopped, we assessed the situation. One of the chain links had ripped which caused the chain to fall off. Luckily, the chain did not wrap around the read weel. This would have certainly caused a crash. So, the situation, while being far from ideal, was not as bad as it could have been.
The question now was: "What do we do?". We remembered the words of Ufuk "If you have a problem anywhere in Turkey, call me" and gave him a call. Luckily we had purchased the SIM card which included calls. He quickly answered the phone. After Chris explained the situation, he asked about our location and stated that he would be there in half an hour. So we waited and hoped that he would turn up soon.
We used the waiting time to put the chain in a plastic bag and also to create theories about what would happen next. Where can we get a new chain? How long will it get to get the chain delivered? How much is all this going to cost? etc.. It did not take long and a motorcycle carrying Ufuk and the roommate of his brother arrived on an F650GS (The newer twin cylinder model). We greeted each other and were happy to meet again regardless of the unpleasent situation. Ufuk informed us that he had already called a mechanic to organize a wrecker to get the bike. So all we had to do was wait for the wrecker to arrive.
While we were waiting, a car stopped a few hundered meters away. Slowly, the driver got out and walked towards us while having a smoke. In turkish, he explained that his car broke down and asked if we would be so kind and give him a push. We accepted and therefore had something useful to do while waiting for transportation to arrive. The three men pushed the car while Fabi took care of proper documentation.
Soon after, the transportation for Fabis bike arrived in form of a minibus. The driver was also the owner of the workshop. After inspecting the broken chain, we pushed the bike into the bus. Ufuk and Fabi took the front seats next to the driver and Ufuk's roommate and Chris followed on the two working bikes.
To get to the workshop, we had to return to Izmir which we had passed 30km earlier. As we got off the highway at Izmir, Chris was waved down by a policeman for a traffic control. However, our friends exchanged some quick words with the policemen and he was let go without any checks or lost time. After some more kilometers through Izmir we arrived at the small garage. It turned out that the owner had closed temporarily in order to come and fetch our bike!
After the girl was out of the truck and on the hydraulic lift, the mechanic got to work quickly. We were told that the F650's are relatively common in Turkey resulting in a good supply of spare parts – thereby increasing our chances of a quick fix! The only explanation on why the chain had snapped was: too high chain tension. This makes sense as a too high tension can quickly result in a snapped chain, especially on bad roads. However, Chris had checked the chain tension in Austria and determined, that the tesion of Fabi's bike was too low. Ever since then he had planned to fix it by increasing the tension, but he had never actually done it. Therefore, a too high tension seems unplausible to us. But we don't know what else could have caused the new (less than 3000km) chain to break. This will probably remain as an unsolved mystery.
As the sprocket cover was removed, a potentially much larger problem was revealed: The nut holding the sprocket thightly in place was not there! Instead the sprocked could move sideways freely if it wanted – even off the shaft! If it would have done that it might have cracked open the engine and thereby destroy the bike. If you wanted, you could say that the broken chain was a good thing as it prevented worse problems in the future.
As a consequence, this meant that two things had to be organized: A new chain (not a problem) and a new nut for the sprocket (possibly a problem). The chain was quickly organized and our mechanic called around to find a replacement part for the nut. As it turned out, the nearest BMW dealer who had the part in stock was in Istanbul. Shipping the part to Izmir would take at least two or three days! But then the mechanic got on his bike to organize a suitable replacement. He was gone for almost one hour. As he returned for the first time, he had gotten the wrong size – meaning he had to go again. Then he had found the right part and could start replacing the chain. The technique to rivet the chain link which closes the chain was a little.. less refined than what we did in Germany as we installed the chain originally. But it worked and the riveted link looked good. Thereafter, the sprocket cover was reinstalled and the chain tension was adjusted with Fabi sitting on the bike. On the final test drive, the mechanic noticed that the handlebars are slightly bent. Also, during the loading process the right mirror broke. As both problems are only minor and it was already late afternoon, we decided to leave them as they were.
Lastly, we had to pay for the repair. We remembered that in Würzburg a mechanic at the local BMW dealer is 110€+ per hour. This made us a little afraid as the guy had worked the entire afternoon just to fix the bike. But in the end the total amount to pay was 925 Lira ~ 136€. This included everything from the pickup to the installation of the new chain. The chain itself was 86€ resulting in a pretty affordable price for the rest. At this price it might almost be cheaper to drive to Izmir to get a new chain installed than to have it done at home.
As it was already late afternoon, we decided to stay in Izmir for the night. As booking.com is not working in Turkey at the moment, the mechanic was so kind to call the manager of a nearby hotel to organize a room at a special rate for us! We owe him SO much for the help and mechanic work he had done for us today,
Sometime during the afternoon, Ufuk had to leave for work. The roommate of his brother stayed with us the entire afternoon and acted as a translator whenever necessary – 1000x thank you to him as well!
As Ufuk was going to stay in Izmir for some more days, we arranged an appointment for dinner. He sent us a waypoint to "Köfteci YUSUF" where we met him, his brother, the roommate as well as the best friend of Ufuk. Then we had dinner together: Several plates with different kinds of meat were placed on the table together with bread and salad. Then everybody takes what he likes. The food was SO delicious. And the dessert, we have no words. Along with each course came small glasses of tea. In the end we were stuffed like pigs. If you ever come to Turkey we only can recommend to go there!! During the dinner, the brother of Ufuk marked several points on the map for us to visit To finish the evening, we went to a small bar at the seaside where we had a coffe. Then we drove back to our hotel where we fell in our beds. Exhausted from the tiring day and the amount of food in our bellies.
A big "THANK YOU" to everybody who helped us or offered help to us during the day!! Without you, we would probably still be stuck on the highway.

Good God! What a 1st half. Clearly the best half of basketball I've seen all year, and I watch a lot, and from our HOOSIERS no less. Let's hope for a better 2nd half than PSU. Coach even made much better substitutions than I've seen, it was a better, more fluid pattern.
This team is unbeatable when…
…they feed the post off of pick & rolls
…Z demands the ball
…Oladipo is his normal self
…CWat rebounds, hits open 3s
…Hulls hits 50% of his 3s, let alone 3 of 5 or so he hit in the 1st half
…plays THIS kind of post Defense…I counted 3 interceptions with MN trying to go over the top
….& Yogi penetrates & dishes off of them
WOW WHAT A 1ST HALF!

No surprise on result of this game except for the big lead. Refs letting them play is a big advantage for us when on home court and most calls/non-calls in Hoosier's favor. What's up with the slippery court today?

Granted MN, & Hollins in particular, was unconscious in the 2nd half from the 3 pt. line, it showcases a couple of key issues.
To piggyback on AZ's comments, here are my three key takeaways from the second half:
1. Free throws
2. Free throws
3. Free throws

First half was phenomenal. Again, we were sluggish and sloppy to start the second. Overall I think it was more a matter of MN playing exceptionally well in the 2nd rather than IU playing poorly. But not handling the press, crucial TOs, fouling the 3-point shooter, and MISSING FREE THROWS did not help my blood pressure. Hats off to MN. They didn't give up. If Cody doesn't make one of the plays of the year on that free throw miss, weight be talking about a different outcome.

I would like to find some positives from losing such a huge lead in the first half, but I can't find very many. It is a good thing IU has some excellent ball players to cover up the coaching or should I say lack of coaching by Crean. When your team has trouble breaking the press and all the coach does is sat and watch without showing the team how to break it, well you see what you get. Some day people are going to accept the fact that Crean is not a very good coach in clutch situations. I'm sure we will see this again when IU makes it to the Big Dance.
Pros: 1 We beat a top ten team and will move up at least a couple spots in the rankings. 2 With limited touches, Zeller dominated in the paint. 3 Yogi played smart and aggressive with 7 assists in the first half.
Cons: 1 Will was a no show today. Played poorly and threw up bricks and showed how important Mo Creek's outside shooting is to this team. 2 Yogi stopped playing at half time. 3 Got out hustled in the second half by Minnesota. Just like PSU's second half.
If you told me before the game we'd win by 7 I'd be happy, but watching what how good we're capable of playing in the first half and seeing the garbage we put out in the second half I'm not. This team can either take on the personality of Watford and try to get by with just enough or can take on Vic's and play balls out 24/7. I hope this is a wake up call for the team and coaches.

I won't duplicate the other comments already posted, accept to say that the first half gave us a glimpse of how good this IU team can be. I was really worried at half time, because I thought that IU had no place to go but down from the high of the first half, and momentum is a strange beast. And that's what happened.
My big take away was that, in relative terms, IU's bench played poorly today. Sheehey had a bad game (did he even score a point?), Hollowell looked lost out there, and Abel did very little. Combining that with Hulls' foul trouble and poor free throw shooting allowed this to become a close game.
Tubby gets his kids to play tough. They are a mentally tough team.
Geoff#14
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:26 PM EST
Well, overall I can't complain about the officials, because we certainly got some calls, but I am about 95% sure that Dipo didnt foul a 3-pt shooter all day, and yet was called for 3 of em. The last one was hilarious… Jump backwards with your hands out and behind your own body… Referees stopped giving that call to the offense 2 years ago, but yet Hollins dives forward, face first, into Dipo's exposed chest and gets the call. Guy should lose his patch for that one.
Really what it all comes down to is we missed 13 FT's and went 1-8 on 3's in the 2nd half, and most of those were wide open looks. If we hit FT's we coast… If we hit open 3's we coast… We did neither, so we struggled to a win.
Wow did they hit some really tough clutch shots. That team will make their opponents nervous come tourney time because they play so damn hard.
Really fun game to watch, especially after witnessing that PSU junk.

response to Good Time: I agree with you and I feel like we are the few that are not drinking the Crean cool-aid. Don't get me wrong, Crean is a great recruiter and motivator. I'm extremely happy with how well their defense is playing this year, esp. compared to last year's squad. However, I have been questioning coaching and especially his halfcourt offense. It drives me nuts! Ok, I know it's more like an NBA spread offense but come on… no plays to generate back door cuts? Only screens I see is at the top of the key. Lack of coaching is really showing when it comes to X's and O's. Indiana struggled against a zone in Iowa and Butler games. Now today they shot lights out from the 3 but I feel like that's their "only" zone-buster play. Here's another one to watch (if you taped the game), why did Indiana send 2 guards running down the court when MN full court pressed the inbound. I saw it 2 presses in a row! 1 other guard comes down to get the ball and they struggle to get the ball in. Go figure. I'm really losing any confidence with Crean's style of basketball. Here's one more to ponder… think of the coming years w/o dipo and zeller. how good are these recruits coming in? Brad Stevens available?

Illinois is getting crushed in Madison and Duke got beat by #20 NCS. Arizona is on the road today. The rankings should be interesting come Monday.
One last comment about today's IU game. Zeller and Yogi were outstanding today. Both were MVPs. VO did a lot of great things, but he committed some really bone-headed fouls in the second half. He got schooled there a little bit by Dre. These guys are still learning and still refining their killer instincts.
Ron#17
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:34 PM EST
The first half was a thing of beauty. Showed we can play with anybody and probably beat them.
The second half. Whatever our current half-time routine is, it needs to be changed ….now.
Geoff#18
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:37 PM EST
Po – I'd like to amend your statement about Remy… Abell did plenty out there today, and all of it was terrible. He only ended up with 2 TO's in the box score, but he tried to turn it over every time he touched it. 2 of his 3 shots were terrible decisions. Unfortunately, Crean's hand got forced in the 2nd half because of Hulls' foul trouble. Remy was so bad in the 2nd half that Crean went to Hollowell for a stretch instead of putting him back in the game.
For the most part I like Remy… I'm not cuckoo for cocoa puffs like Harvard… But Remy is generally a net positive. Today was his worst day as a Hoosier though.
I'm sure next game hell bounce back. He's proven to be a generally tough-minded kid.
Jeremy's growth totally lost momentum with the games he sat out. You can tell he's nervous from the airball and needs major minutes against our weaker opponents to build up his confidence.
Hanner seems to have confidence and swagger he just needs consistent minutes to build up some experience. Hanner and Noah next year by January will be incredible to watch.
Podunker#20
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:42 PM EST ItGeoff – Remy was playing hurt and only had one practice before today's game. We definitely need Mo back.
Punjab#22
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:50 PM EST
There's a first time for everything, but I think Dipo was trying to do a little too much. At least one of those 3-point fouls could've just as easily been a non-call, but when a dude launches from 38 feet it and looks like it might be a foul, that's going to be called almost every time. All you have to do is get a hand is his face, then box out. Period.
And to add to Geoff's point in #14, the biggest difference in the 2nd was shooting. MN hit a crazy amount of threes to close the gap, but not only did we have all those missed FTs and 3s, but we missed a lot of point blank stuff, too– Layups and open looks that usually go in. We just couldn't hit much, and at happens at times. But we have to take advantage of the freebies and not turn it over at the end. There are a lot of quality opponents in this league who will make you pay if you let up. Welcome to the Big Ten, fellas.
Podunker#23
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:52 PM EST
Regardless of the hype, and let's all agree that there was enormous hype associated with "the solution," very few freshman are physically and mentally prepared to make major contributions in Big Ten competition. That's what made Cody Zeller so special last year. That's what makes Yogi so special this year. These are rare talents, and we should not expect every freshman, no matter how good they were in High School, to be able to come in and hold their own against veteran Big Ten competitors. JH is simply not physically strong enough (yet) to match up with Big Ten forwards.
Let's keep in mind that they are freshman. But no excuse for Sheehey. He was bad today.
Geoff#24
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:53 PM EST
Aruss – that makes sense…
Po – I agree. Although I do question the way we handle the press and why we go to the zone so often, and those things are on Crean. I can't figure out why Watford is the inbounder for the life of me. Passing is not one of his strengths, but FT shooting is. That time he had Hulls open for 3 seconds and 25 feet, but then proceeded to pass it to him really late and throw it directly out of bounds… Wow.
Punjab#25
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 4:59 PM EST
Aruss, totally agree with you on #19. Parea and Hollowell will be dynamite, but I doubt they're going to get enough PT this year to do much besides show flashes of what they will be in coming years.
I think we can all agree that one of our biggest strengths this year was going to be our depth. But when the subs don't have it on a day like today, it's good to know that just our starting five is good enough to hang with (or dominate) anyone.
Laffy#26
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 5:49 PM EST
For everyone giving Crean a free pass with "he doesn't miss the free throws or 3's", he is responsible for making the players mentally tough.
And they are missing all those wide open shots because they are not mentally tough.
Period.
On the chat, someone said in the second half we were "playing not to lose."
That is always a recipe for disaster. And that strategy/mindset falls on Crean.
Do I want him fired? No.
What happened to Yogi in the second half? He was amazing the first half.
And that drive by Cody was gorgeous.
AWinAZ#27
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 6:24 PM EST
MN did play very well in the 2nd half, hit an unbelievable set of 3s, and played their hearts out.
I mirror Geoff's comments about CWat Inbounding the ball. I would've gone to Zeller. He's a great passer, can look over anyone guarding him, and can sprint full court after he gets it in. That to me is the best option. But the inbounds play is woeful. Run the guards around the high screens and run to the corners? Are you kidding me?!?!?
Tubby is a great coach. He had his team put it to us in the 2nd half with a dose of our own medicine. He pressed the pressing team, which any middle school coach knows to do.
The good side of things is we won against a tough team, and Z came to play. I'd say it was his top performance of the year for sure. He was tough, rebounded, hit his FTs, kept many RB alive, demanded the ball, and held more than his own inside.
We look like an average Big Ten team without Oladipo and Hulls on the floor. I thought that really killed us under the 10 min. mark when both were sitting. Two pretty good ball handlers and shooters. That hurt us a lot with them both in foul trouble.
Also, I have to think this weak 2nd half gets us up for Wisconsin on Tues. They will be very physical and they've owned us in the last 5 years. I'd be more worried had we blown out MN & cruised to a big victory or kept up the impeccable play in the 2nd half. This keeps the kids heads in it for a few more days. Expect Sheehey to bounce back, I'd think.
Geoff#28
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 6:32 PM EST
AZ – yeah, my dad and I both looked at each other when Hulls picked up his 4th and Dipo went out at essentially the same time and said "uh-oh"…
Great to watch he game with him. Can't even count the number of high fives we gave each other in the first half… Can't tell you how frustrated he was watching them miss FT's in the 2nd half. Had flashbacks of the last time he came over for a game… UK game and jumping up on the coffee table after the Watford shot.
AWinAZ#29
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 7:22 PM EST
1 more thing & I'll shut it this week….
Q: Who is our point guard?
I think Yogi proved in the 1H that he should have the ball & be directing things. Why he isn't bringing the ball up every trip and operating from the top of the key to the bucket is beyond me. Most of the time, Yogi was on the wing at the 3 pt line in the 2H. Another coaching mystery. He's very dangerous running over picks and driving the basketball, and therefore should be doing that for 40 min., not 20.
GooFy Dave#30
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 8:12 PM EST
Laffy – Terrible logic. I think it's ok to ask why Crean's teams have had "closing" trouble this year. But saying the team isn't mentally tough because of missed free throws is a legendary Skip Bayless-esque cliche. Where is Mark Cuban to set you straight?
Hulls is a terrific free-throw shooter. He didn't miss 3 in a row because Crean didn't feed him a toughness pill that day or forget to yell at him hard enough. He missed because basketball is hard, and even the best clench up under pressure once in a while.
Laffy#31
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 10:59 PM EST
Goof–
They did more than just "miss free throws."
And this is teh second game in a row they've completely collapsed the second half.
Chet#32
Saturday, January 12, 2013 - 11:03 PM EST
Po, it won't matter. Crean could win 10 straight titles and the Debbies of the world would put it all down to recruiting and bad coaching. I promise you this, if we win the title this year those dunces will give zero credit to CTC.
We beat a top ten team by 7 (and we're 4-2 in out last 6 games against top ten teams) and people are bitter because we built a big lead early.
Give me a break.

Geoff, I've said it before and I'll repeat it (in a friendly, kidding way). I enjoy your analytical take on games I think contrasting your very serious analysis with your 'the refs wacked us' that precedes it. I learned a long, long time ago 'the refs don't exist-just play the damn game'. Especially in the B1G, they're good. Oh yeah, they'll miss some but they'll miss them both ways.
Having said that. On Dipo's last(?) foul, (I believe it was his last)- on the three pointer. Watch the play. You can see the three point line about a foot in front of the shooter. Dipo goes straight up about 3-6 inches INSIDE the 3-point line and comes down clearly INSIDE the line- could not possibly have jumped 'into' the Minny shooter. Ref was not watching the feet. His brain was 'anticipating' what his eyes didn't see. It happens.
TsaoTsuG#34

We have a tendency to get 'sloppy'-hurried when we get comfortable (miss shots on good looks and free throws).
TsaoTsuG#35

Aruss, my compliments. You really seem to think about the game (of basketball) with a lot of detail and make very intelligent observations. Enjoy reading them.
Geoff#36
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 2:03 AM EST
Tsao – so just to clarify, you are agreeing with me about Dipo's 5th "foul"?
TsaoTsuG#37
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 4:14 AM EST
Yeah (or no, I am agreeing with you it was not a foul. Saying the referee should have been able to see/judge it was physically impossible for Dipo to jump into the shooter and come down inside the 3pt line).
Sometimes the eyes 'see' what the brain anticipates. (Happens in tennis a lot. The brain anticipates the ball and the eyes (miss direct), causing a bad hit on the racket). But, I'm also saying it is not an 'intentional' bad read. In every sport, the most repeated phrase is 'follow the ball into your…(racket, bar, foot, chest, hand, glove)'. Don't just trust your eyes, because the brain anticipates what you see. And, thus the most ignored and seemingly unnecessary yet critical of teaching/coaching observations.
The same would be true of training refs to 'take awareness' of what they 'think' they are seeing. Just a thought that came to mind when I saw the same Dipo play the 3rd and 4th time. Awareness that it was a physical impossibility for the players to have contact to make it a foul, given the feet and lines.
Punjab#38
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 4:42 AM EST
Tsao and Geoff: As I replay the second half in my mind, my first instinct is to say you're right–There should never have been a foul called on Dipo on that last three. But that shouldn't matter. The game was called evenly, and to say otherwise is to suggest we were victims. We weren't victims. We got outplayed and outshot for too much of the second half, and the credit should go to the Gophers. But we also dominated the first half, which doesn't seem to ease many fingers on the panic button.
It's amazing how many people– on the Hoosier squad, on this post, and in the national media– are treating this like a loss.
I'm not at all suggesting that there aren't some issues we clearly need to work on. But we beat a high quality, top ten opponent when all of our reserves had an off night. Take a breath, everyone, and just enjoy the victory for a while.

OK, so, by my amateur analysis we have lost one game, to a good team, in overtime and we are in first place in the toughest conference in the country with two roads wins already under our belt.
That means we 'have trouble closing out games.'
Had we hit one more free throw against Butler and were still in first place nationally (which we may be on Monday, anyway) would we still be having 'trouble closing out games'?
Laffy#41
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 10:31 AM EST
I laugh at the "toughest conference in the country" comment.
Those same media people who said that crowned Zeller as the runaway PLAYER OF THE YEAR and he's hardly in the running for it anymore.
Aren't a couple teams, like Illinois, far worse than what the "experts" thought they'd be?
And didn't 2 Top 10 Big Ten 10 teams lose a week or so ago to unranked teams?
And last I checked, most people say the ACC sucks…..yet we tied them in The Challenge.
I think only 3 Big Ten teams will do well at the Dance….Michigan, Minnesoata and us. And it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we don't make the Sweet 16.

We were lucky to win the game and Minn. was lucky they were within 30 points at the end of the game.
Few games back I think the concern was why it took the first half before we began to play.
Last game I believe Yogi lost the ball in-bounding two times which may be why CWat took over that duty for awhile.
Pretty sure we will see the full court pressure more and more this this year. Pretty sure Crean and the team will come up with an effective solution. Practice will be full court pressure and free throws.
Hate to see a team get up by 20 points in the first half. Nearly always melts away during the second.
For a team with a deep bench and to get not-much out of it hurt. Injuries and suspension hurt and will improve over the yr.
It's almost hard to grasp the change from first and second half. Maybe around the Michigan game time it'll all come together.

Oladipo is probably the best defender in the Big 10. He works his butt off in denying points, entry passes, and penetrations…He's kept hundreds of potential points off the scoreboard and on our opponents floor with his crazy effort on every possession.
He made some bad decisions…He got a little over-committed. When a team is roaring back, players get tight defensively as well as offensively. The tightness causes anxiousness…Guys loose their normal discipline..The mistakes becoming more glaring because they were on the perimeter.
I'll certainly take what I know we won't see from Oladipo again than lose the irreplaceable effort, the points kept off the scoreboard with his uncompromising defense, the points put into our scoring column with his immense athletic ability, the crowd-electrifying plays, and the heart he exudes to will the entire team forward, to give him one free pass, for one afternoon he's a bit out of sync.

I think the fact that the Big 10 is the premier basketball conference could account for teams not always having the best of success in the tournament.
A lot of programs have tough pre-conference schedules and then proceed into 'cupcake seasons' in conferences less deep in overall talent.
They go into March Madness having an adequate share of top competition by the few elite teams in their conference, but they are not totally beat up(mentally and physically) from test after test after test.
I often wonder if Big 10 teams are almost burned out from the fierce, season-long, physical play of a conference with rarely a team to take a night off against. It can be demoralizing losing in the Big 10 tournament, on the eve of March Madness, to a team six or seven places down in the conference standings.
The perception going into the tournament that you lost to a thoroughly under-matched team is just not true. I despise that Big 10 tournament.

I am not sure if any of you noticed, but I thought Perea had some meaningful minutes against Minny. He did not have a scoring effect or grab ten boards. He did have, I feel, is a physical presence which altered Minnesota's play. He was active and showed what he has under the hood, and it's waiting to come out. May he continue to learn and gain confidence.
In the thought of the young players learning, and acclimating to the D1 level, Yogi is just now starting to establish himself. I believe Ferrell was the highest rated recruit of the bunch, yet he still makes mistakes. Here is to all of thier continued improvement. This team is still learning, may they never lose thier hunger and will to improve.

Grow some stones and make the call now. Do we, or don't we make the Sweet 16?
I believe we make the Sweet 16.
Of course, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if 1/2 the current list of the top 16 teams in the nation don't make it to the Sweet 16…Big friggin' deal! That's why it's March Madness!!

Without Yogi we'd me major screwed. We get to the next level in the tournament because of Ferrell. You don't go deep without a dynamic point guard. I believe Yogi is light years ahead a typical freshman point guard. Extremely poised and it's easy to tell he relishes the stage and big games. He'll be the difference.
It's amazing he's been so overlooked by the national press. Those drives going to the basket while using off-hand were amazing. He has major, major skills.

Well ****.
I agree with you M4H. The only reason (I can see) for the B1G Tourney is $$$$….? If you are a team looking for Sweet Sixteen and better, it may be a better goal to win one game of the tourney and than collect yourself for the big push.
Vic out of synch yesterday? No way. The guy was brilliant as usual. Well, maybe more so. Except for a couple of plays pushing himself.
Mass Hoosier#53
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 12:04 PM EST
May the team also grasp and accept that beating a top ranked team is no longer an upset. IU does not need to play not to lose. They need to play with thier foot on the opping teams throat for the whole game. Why stop what was working really well in the first half(Minn. adjusted)? I think they still revert, at times, to seasons past, not having a winning culture.
Accept your new role boys, you are now at the top of the food chain, eat and destroy!
Harvard for Hillbillies#54

Yes, a little 'out of sync' in the discipline category.
Much like a prize fighter so caught up in his own flurry to knock out an opponent on the ropes suddenly letting his guard slip down. The anxiousness of the kill creates the momentary loss of discipline.

Laffy,
There's only one conference it there that can compete with the B1G in my mind and they won't even be a conference next year. The Big East has lots of quality teams and you could make an argument the the group of:
There is top end power and depth in both conferences. I would say that OSU and MSU aren't quite living up to expectations, but they're close, and Illinois certainly exceeded expectations heading into B1G play. Iowa did as well, but now magically because they started conference play against IU, Mich, and MSU they are considered over-rated? Very few elite teams could survive that 3 game span, much less an up-and-coming Iowa.
So if you forced me to bet every thing on black (BE) or red (B1G)… I guess I'd go red, simply because I believe that Michigan and IU are the 2 best teams in the country. (followed by Louisville and Kansas, then a group of Minnesota, Duke, Gonzaga, and Syracuse in no particular order… Arizona is a fraud, and 3 teams that could be as good as anyone at the end are Mizzou, UCLA, and UNLV as they gain health and/or experience).
Ron#56

Went out for a cup of coffe yesterday. Guy next to me in IU shirt was popping nitro's. He said he was at the game and started to have chest pains during the last 3 minutes.
Probably gratuitously, I explained that due to his cardiac issues he would be better off not attending these games, and I would not hesitate to take his place at future games.
He said he would rather go to a stronger dosage and if he were to have a fatal heart attack, Assembly Hall was OK with him.

To no one in-particular (honestly):
Three point defense is one area I struggle with when listening to the 'fan base'… The complaints were loud last year, and maybe rightfully so. Certainly the percentages would indicate that. But this year it has been very good for the most part, also indicated by the stats – #1 overall FG defense and #4 3-pt FG % in the B1G (although they are literally one more miss away from being #2). Yet still you hear some spackling of complaints throughout the young season…
Now when Dipo is out challenging 3's after they have made some really tough ones to get back in the game I just know what one of the narratives is…
Now if you want to say its stupid, and that you shouldn't put yourself in a situation where the ref might anticipate, fall for the flail, and make the call… Ok, that's a valid opinion. But then I don't ever want to hear that same person complain about our lack of 3-pt defense ever again.

Chet–
If it "sure isn't the ACC", why did we split the Challenge with them? I've read numerous times how the ACC is "awful" and how the Big Ten is "way above everyone else" and yet, they tied us in the Challenge. Doesn't make sense to me.
HH–
I think the "burned out" excuse is laughable. The Big East is no Cupcake Conference at all, yet U Conn won the Title after going thru those games. Heck, they had to win 5 TOUGH games in 5 days to win their tournment. Why, exactly, are we the "premier" league? Because The Establishment says so? LOL!! Talk about irony….
And how is it "stones" to make that prediction now, Gilligan? Lots of games left. Plus, there could be injuries. And, it depends on who we get as The Dance is mostly about match-ups.
I always love to hear when we lose in teh Dance, "So what? It's a crap shoot. Doesn't mean anything." yet when we win, it's "This proves we're the best team in the country!!!" Can't have it both ways.
Geoff–
Yes, I'd say the Big East is better than the Big Ten.

Ron,
Ok… Interesting. I'd like to see SDST play a couple times. They have as good a backcourt as any in the country with Tapley and Franklin. Their only 2 losses are to Syracuse and Arizona (by 1). I kinda wonder if they are already playing at their potential though since all of their best players are healthy and experienced.
I put VCU and Butler in a different tier – really well-coached, style-imposing, under-manned teams that are a threat to anyone, but not to everyone. Only because these teams are devoid of the next-level talent I think you need to make it past the Sweet 16. (Butler's previous teams had multiple players with next-level talent).
Not that anyone asked, but here is what I see in Mizzou, UNLV and UCLA:
UCLA – Muhammed is really starting to dominate, and Howland has proven he can take talent to the Final Four. They have lots of size, scorers, and depth – they're just catching their stride.
Mizzou – the transfers (Bell, Brown, Oriakhi) are just starting to mesh with the team. Pressed and Bowers are a great duo, but Bowers is hurt for a bit. By tourney time they barring additional injuries they'll be healthy and fully meshed, which means they should be peaking.
UNLV – they have as talented a duo as any team in the country with Bennett and Moser, but Moser is still working back to health and Bennett is still gaining experience. Khem Birch is huge and was a McD's all-American… They have been very good for a few years, but now they have a bona field star who will be coming into his own alongside Moser getting into a rhythm all at the right time. (admittedly this team is more of a long shot, but I like the ingredients)
Laffy#62

Every year before the season starts, I do a little "contest" with myself to predict who wins it all, makes the Final Four, Elite 8 and Sweet 16.
I then also do it on Jan.1 and the end of the regular season before the Dance is announced and then, of course, do my bracket.
I try to pick one dark horse to make the Final Four and before the season started, I picked UNLV.
I also picked IU to win it all.
Now, at mid-point, I have Louisville winning it all and IU making the Sweet 16.

Mass Hoosier,Chet, Geoff, Ron, Punjab…others: I agree with you. I wondered at half time if we would 'change' our approach in any way attempting to 'protect' the lead. In soccer, as well, here' a saying that a 2-0 lead is a bad one to get. Coaches begin playing the score not the game. They sit back and protect and s___ happens. A 10-20 point lead in a game between two comparably strong teams may be the same thing in basketball.
I haven't looked to compare the first and second halves of the Minn. game. But, I do know we Hoosiers are at our clear best when we 'push the ball' up the floor and base our game on an aggressive offense that forces the defense to defend their basket; not to defend us away from their basket (there is a difference). When we force them to defend their basket- focused on passing to open up a man, dribble-drive penetration to the basket (which opens up passing possibilities both in or out)- we make defending us almost impossible.
When we allow their defense to focus and pressure our perimeter, we are also allowing them to focus their energy on our distributors and that takes us out of our game. I have a suspicion that this is what the difference may have been between halves, a subtle tactical change that comes from wanting to protect a lead.
It also changes us defensively. When we play at our best, we attack with our defense. We jump the opponents ball movement, lanes, spaces and passing entries in front of us. AS if our defensive goal is to keep the opponent from completing a single entry pass. When we try to protect the lead we become too conscious of sitting back and defending our basket BEHIND US, taking pressure off the perimeter, find entry spaces and allow distributor/ball handlers a lot more choices and allow more time seeing their spaces and shots.
Small, perhaps infinitesimal, differences in concept that may change the approach to a game like Saturday's.
Punjab#67
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 8:23 PM EST
Tsao, much like your soccer reference, it's the same in football. Denver proved that last night in blowing another late lead. When you have an all-time great QB in Peyton Manning, why would you take it out of his hands and try to milk the clock? In all those years as a Colt, nothing aggravated me more than when he let his offense go conservative, and it was usually a sign of bad things to come. Conversely, the Patriots (probably my most despised team) never stop throwing until they're up four TDs with under two minutes to go. I hate to watch them win, but I respect the way they go about it.
As much as it pains me to say it, the Hoosiers could learn a lot by watching New England. I had to read your last post twice to get the point you were making, but I suspect you're right. In both second halves of our last two games, we seemed to defend a little differently. I won't speculate how much might have been a subtle shift in tactics vs defensive intensity, but I think both might have played a role.
Some have claimed that the Penn State game was a second half collapse, but we never really lost the big lead. We just didnt push it out further. I wouldnt call that a collapse– just uninspired basketball on our part. Fortunately, PSU just didn't have the scorers to make us pay; Minnesota did. And we almost paid the price because of it. There are too many good teams in this conference to afford any more second half letdowns or go away from whatever was working so well for us in the first place.
TsaoTsuG#68
Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 8:46 PM EST
Exactly Punjab. Someone else brought up the issue of our going into a zone and both Penn State and Minnesota shredding it. I'll have to watch it again. It would also be interesting to know when and how much time we were in the zone and take a bit more consciousness of what happens to the score during that period.
One other point. RMK rarely, rarely played zone. While at West Point he wrote a notebook on his. In his first section he discussed just that point. That zones tend to make players sit back and lose aggressiveness. And that price is paid not only on defense but on offense as well. He claimed you could noticeably see the loss of focus and energy.
He resolved the issues of opponents beating their mark or the man on the ball by designing a 'help side' role based on keeping an eye on the ball, location on the court that used zone principles (i.e. the closer on ball side the player is to the ball, the tighter the guarding and overplay of the passing lane; the further from the ball, keeping focus on the ball (keeping your nose pointed to your man's passing lane) but with an eye to jumping into the lane between the ball and the basket.
I do agree with what several have noticed. Playing zone makes us passive.

Podonker says:
Who recruited these players, Poop? Who?
ItWell he will never win a title, that's for sure, his players will, if they do. But if he coaches them you can bet they won't. You can put Dwyane Wade in an IU uniform and he won't win a national title if coached by Crean. The best he'd do would be to lose by 30 in the final four.
Meanwhile I said (about going up in the ranks):
More pressure. Fortunately Wisconsin comes to town to give the Great Architect of Nothing (aka Tom Crean) a chance to release some of this pressure via a benchmark loss. It's what he does.
Fortunately we go to Northwestern now to get a close away win. It's possible. The Great Architect of Nothing deserves more praise: Northwestern is 1-3 like #23 Illini and Iowa (strong team!). Win at the Wildcats and TC is once again the Messenger of Greatness. Cupcakes for all

Spotting illegal animal abuse is sometimes hard to notice because the laws for it vary from state to state. Without knowing the laws in your state it can be hard to report any animal abuse. elevage-oie-tricard

The smell of leather is a distinctive and complex aroma. It is often described as a rich, warm and sensual scent. Leather can be made from animal hides, most commonly from cattle, but also from other animals like deer, kangaroos, and buffalo.
The smell of leather is the result of the tanning process that converts raw animal hides into leather. This process uses tannin to convert the skin proteins into stable and flexible materials that will not rot or putrefy. The tanning process also removes excess water and fat from the hide so that it does not shrink when it dries out during the drying process. This makes it easier to work with the hide once it has been dried out in order to produce finished leather goods such as shoes or jackets

Abstract
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes neurological damages to newborn infants and persists over the years in infants. Rat CMV (RCMV) ALL-03 strain (RCMV ALL-03) was the first RCMV isolated from the placenta and uterus of rat. This RCMV ALL-03 was hypothesised to mimic congenital human CMV (HCMV) infection. Overall, the study signifies the genome characterisation of a novel local transplacental strain RCMV ALL-03, as well as the glycoprotein B (gB) and lower matrix phosphoprotein (pp65) RCMV ALL-03 gene characterisation. The study was commenced by propagating RCMV ALL-03 extensively to a large amount
alongside with the reference RCMV English strain (RCMV-E) in rat embryonic fibroblast (REF) cells. Infected cells exhibiting advance cytopathic effect were harvested and concentrated by 8% (w/v) PEG6000. Concentrated viruses were then purified through sucrose gradient. Based on the similarity between HCMV and RCMV ALL-03, monoclonal antibody against gB of HCMV was used to immunoprecipitate RCMV ALL-03 gB through Western blot and immunoperoxidase
assay. Likewise, monoclonal antibody pp65 of HCMV was able to immunoprecipitate pp65 of RCMV ALL-03 by immunoperoxidase assay, indicating there are shared homology between HCMV and RCMV ALL-03. The Illumina
Genome Analyzer IIx generated a total of 3.8 million paired end sequence reads from multiplexing of both genomic viral DNA libraries. The raw sequencing results were assembled via de novo approach into contigs, producing a total of 6 large CMVrelated contigs for RCMV ALL-03 and 11 large CMV-related contigs for RCMV-E. These contigs were aligned and arranged based on reference RCMV Maastricht strain (RCMV-M), followed by scaffolding into draft genomes. The estimated size of RCMV ALL-03 was 198,895 bp while RCMV strain English was estimated to be 175,071 bp. Phylogenetic tree of RCMV ALL-03 draft genome with other reference
CMVs revealed that RCMV ALL-03 belongs to the Muromegalovirus genus and that it is closest to RCMV-E, with an estimated difference of 8.2 substitution per 1
kbp from RCMV-E. Based on gene prediction software GeneMarkS, there were 136 genes predicted for RCMV ALL-03 and 112 genes predicted for RCMV-E. All predicted genes were subjected to BlastX analysis, followed by mapping and
annotation of the genes using Blast2Go software. For the RCMV ALL-03, there were 5 genes without any blast hits and a total of 46 genes were annotated. The gB and pp65 genes were among the annotated genes. Phylogenetic analysis of RCMV ALL-03 gB and pp65 showed that RCMV ALL-03 branched individually from other reference CMVs despite having almost similar branch distance as the reference CMVs. By designing and examining the RCMV gB and pp65 specific primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) via in silico and lab verification, RCMV ALL-03 gB and pp65 gene were amplified. This study revealed the genome sequence of
RCMV ALL-03, which is essential in the understanding of shared homology between RCMV ALL-03 and HCMV. The relatedness of RCMV ALL-03 to RCMVE showed the conserve regions of rodent CMV but their divergence revealed
potential RCMV ALL-03 unique transplacental haracteristics. Future exploitation study on the RCMV ALL-03 could help provide a better understanding of congenital HCMV.

2021's best sex toys for men — a buying guide
The times they are a-changin', as the great Bob Dylan would say. Technology is evolving at rapid speeds, bringing us incredible gadgets that we didn't even know we needed. In addition, our mindset is evolving along. People are now more open-minded than ever. Sex toys, which were once considered taboo by many, have become a must-have for both women and men today.
Up until a few years ago, men had few options when it came to sex toys. They were primarily associated with homosexual men. However, today, such gadgets are widely accepted among people of all genders and sexual orientations, recommended even.
What's more, there are so many of them to pick from, each with its own unique features, benefits, and uses. There's something for everyone — from single men looking to relieve stress to couples looking to take their bedroom action to a whole new level.
All in all, no matter what your fantasies may be, you can surely find a sex toy to suit them. If you're a beginner and yet have to purchase your first one, you should get yourself familiar with what the sex industry has to offer. We hope this article will help you do just that.
Thankfully, male sex toys are more accessible and affordable today than they've ever been. Plus, they come in so many shapes and sizes, with variations and combinations as far as the eye can see.

A penis ring is a great way to keep your member stiff for a long time, ensuring a long and intense sexual experience. Guys with erectile dysfunctions in particular swear by this handy little gadget, but everyone can benefit from it.
The market offers plenty of options when it comes to penis rings. For one, they come in various sizes. Thus, you can make sure that it fits you like a glove, gripping you with just the right amount of tightness. There are also dual rings that can hug both your penis and testes, such as this little silicone one from Phanxy.
A penis ring can be stretchy or stiff, smooth or ribbed, etc. Furthermore, you can go with a vibrating ring to intensify the pleasure to the max. For example, this Satisfyer Power Ring is quite a powerful machine, despite its size. Lastly, there also exist penis rings with additional vibrators that can stimulate your partner's clitoris or perineum, such as Lovehoney's Bionic Bullet 5.
Masturbator Cups and Fleshlights
According to its regular users, the masturbator cup/fleshlight is the closest you can get to the real thing. In fact, some even claim that it's better, as it's endowed with pleasure-enhancing features that you just can't find anywhere else. We'll let you decide that after trying, though.
As is the case with all of these products, there are numerous variations to choose from. Masturbator cups can be more or less realistic, ranging from small and simple manual ones (such as the Tenga Beat Egg) to full-on realistic vibrating ones designed to perfectly simulate oral, vaginal, or anal sex (like the Zemalia 3 in 1 masturbator). Fleshlights today can even have the option of warming and suction for an even more lifelike experience, making them one of the best male sex toys money can buy today.
Prostate Massagers and Vibrators
To take your orgasms to the next level, you might want to give a prostate massager a go. Using one of these on a regular basis not only feels wonderful but also has numerous health benefits. It can improve the circulation of the seminal fluid, erectile function, and even prevent prostate cancer in the long run.
If you're a first-timer, we suggest going with something smaller, such as the CalExotics Colt Xtreme Turbo Bullet. Experienced guys might prefer Fun Factory's The Duke or Paloqueth vibrating prostate massager, though. And for those that are feeling adventurous, Treediride's already intimidating-looking vibrator is also equipped with a penis ring!
Vacuum Pumps
Many men claim that using a vacuum pump has significantly improved their sex lives, bringing about longer and sturdier erections each time. While we recommend you use it with caution to prevent unwanted side-effects, a vacuum pump can prove to be a useful tool if you use it properly.
A penis pump can be either manual, like the Bathmate's old-school HydroXtreme, or motorized, like this All in One pump from Paloqueth. Whichever one you buy, just make sure it has a safety vacuum limiter to prevent injuries.
Anal Toys
Anal is definitely an acquired taste. However, those that acquire it simply can't live without it ever again, constantly seeking out new and exciting toys for further exploration. Luckily, the sex toy industry has no problem keeping up with those needs. Nowadays, there are butt plugs, dildos, and vibrators in all forms imaginable.
Looking for a simple butt plug to start your anal journey? Maybe this beginner-friendly Anal Trainer Kit from Doc Johnson will suffice. On the other hand, if you'd prefer something more advanced, there's the Yosposs Saint. It's a vibrating beads-plug mix that is sure to induce leg-shaking orgasms.
Miscellaneous
And for those that would like to try something totally new, we suggest Mystim's Tension Lover e-stim unit. This gadget lets you fine-tune the sensation in each of your body parts. In case you don't know, e-stim is the electrostimulation of muscles. Aside from finding use in therapy, e-stim can be a mighty sexual stimulant as well.
Finally, we couldn't end this list without mentioning lubricants. After all, however you choose to pleasure yourself in the end, you can count on lube to make the session much smoother and more enjoyable. Our favorite water-based lube is the LubeLife's Mint Chocolate Chip-flavored one. As far as silicone lubes are concerned, we recommend Wet's Platinum Luxury lubricant.
The Takeaway
As you can tell, the sex toy industry has something for everyone's tastes, no matter how obscure they may be. From a simple penis ring to a dragon-shaped butt plug, the wide selection of sex toys today can make even the wildest fantasies become a reality. Get yours today and ensure mind-blowing orgasms for the rest of your life. Your body and mind will certainly thank you for it!

A lot of people have constructed propagandistic memes to the effect that "things would be different" had Kyle been black. Every one of these memes have failed because the memetic engineer could not engineer the precisely opposite situation to Kyle Rittenhouse's. So let me try. I mean, it's a worthy counterfactual, right?
What if Kyle were black?
What if the 17-year-old African-American male traveled across a state line to his father's community after a White Lives Matter protest turned violent and burned down a huge hunk of his father's town. The protest was over the police shooting a white guy during a domestic squabble.
Now, the trick in this example is not to make everything opposite — this white man would have to become a white woman, right, to be "completely" opposite? If "make everything opposite" were the rule in constructing such examples, we would merely engage in Bizarro World japery. (So this haploid is carrying a ray gun…) So, let's keep it close. And let's make initial spark for the "protests" this: a white criminal man got shot by police while reaching for his knife after walking away from the police who had told him to stand down. Same as the Kenosha criminal. And this man survives, though most protesters think he's dead. It's only the races we need to flip.
So a White Live Matter group protested the shooting, and the protest turns quickly to riot, which spreads. And the cops stand down, letting it all burn: the cops are on the side of the whites, this time, after all!
Amidst this, a number of heroic black people take to the streets to help victims, put out fires, and wash away graffiti. Our black Kyle is carrying a scary-to-liberals rifle and as the evening wears on gets chased by other black people who beat him with a skate board and try to take away his weapon. Some shots are fired, and our black Kyle kills two men, black, and wounds another, also black.
For his trouble, the Republican presidential candidate calls this Kyle a black supremacist and the major media constantly calls Kyle a murderer, moments after, and all the way into his trial.
What are the most unbelievable things about this scenario, as written? To make it the most apt opposite-race example, what should I change?

This is a very nice hotel from the outside, but not so much on the inside. My room reminded me of what you would expect for around fifty dollars a night. The price advertised was inaccurate, weekend king size beds they said. It was supposed to be in the seventies and the actual price was 107.87 for two full beds....

Parliamentary privilege (Reply)
A perfectly good point against those who suggest that judges shouldn't have a say because they are un-elected.
Fortunately, a) that is not what most people are doing and b) the law says that they can't gag parliament.
And additionally, yes, legally they can interpret the law but i) it is pathetic that judges should attempt to use an injunction to disguise their own judgments and ii) they are, simply, mis-interpreting the Human Rights Act

1943 GMC Duck Amphibious Advertisement World War II Fridge Magnet
Available Options
For WWII, General Motors built an amphibious vehicle officially named DUKW and most commonly referred to as "The Duck."
Just over twenty-one thousand Ducks were built for it's three years of service during World War II. (It was also used during the Korean War.) Powered by a 6-cylinder engine, the 6.5-ton Duck averaged 50 mph on land and 5.5 knots on water. The Duck was not armored and was equipped with a bilge pump in case the thin hull suffered large bullet holes and took on water. The tire pressure could be varied from inside the cab, to full inflation for hard surfaces and reduced inflation for soft terrain such as sandy beaches.
The Duck was used by the US Army and Marine Corps as well as by the British and Australians. They first appeared in the Pacific conflict, at Guadalcanal, then in Sicily in Operation Husky. They were at the D-Day landing in Normandy and at three other European front invasions. Their primary benefit was in transporting supplies and wounded.

Biography Eduard Micus
Eduard Micus felt attracted to art initially through the Marburg based painter and woodcutter Reinhard Schmidhagen. He met Schmidhagen in the years 1943 and 1944 and Micus decided in 1948 to attend the Academy of Arts in Stuttgart. He studied there until 1921 amongst others under Willi Baumeister. He began creating first works of art that were divided by lines.
Beginning in 1962, he created his so-called 'Coudrages', which he separated in the center with a seam. In 1967, he took part in the Biennale in San Marino together with Gerhard Richter and Günther Uecker. He was a member of the artist group SYN.

We found a hidden gem in Cunsey!
Where on earth is Cunsey I hear you say?
Situated on the west side of Lake Windermere – a little hamlet called Cunsey nestled on the Graythwaite Estate.
Stunning lake views combined with peaceful tranquillity, the perfect bolthole to get away from the world for a weekend or perhaps longer! Whilst being not too far away from a pub, shop or more liveliness should you require it!
Cunsey Lodge sleeps 8 in 4 generously sized ensuite bedrooms – no queuing for the bathroom here!
The two double bedrooms at the front over look the lake. A large Kitchen, dining room and lounge all open plan makes this cottage feel so spacious! A roaring log fire to keep you warm in the winter and underfloor heating!
My family and I stayed the last weekend in January for a birthday treat and simply fell in love with the place! There was nothing they hadn't thought of in this cottage – from a well stocked wood store round the back, washing machine and tumble dryer, two large TVs with Freesat, Wifi and a wood fired Hot Tub on the patio! A perfect way to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of prosecco or two, and yes they even thought of drinks holder on the side for your glasses!
A little gift bag in the kitchen welcomed us with local coffee and tea, a loaf of bread and Hawkshead Relish vanilla and raspberry jam, and a bottle of fizz!
Just a couple of minutes drive takes you up to the Graythwaite Estate where you will find an indoor heated pool, gym, table tennis, and a small shop stocked with all those essentials you may have forgot to pack, or a bottle of wine should you run out!
We found a perfect walk for the Saturday morning whilst is wasn't raining – a circular walk from the doorstep of the cottage through the woodland at the back, crossing over a river, to then follow the road, until you get to the footpath sign that takes you down to the lake shore. You can then follow the shoreline for a good half a mile through Rawlinson Nab, then the path continues up past one of the other cottages on the Estate called Holmewell to join the road again, back to Cunsey lodge. A good 1-2 hour leisurely walk, with views over the lake looking towards Storrs Hall and Millionaires Row!
A quick pit stop at the cottage for lunch and to stoke up the fire on the hot tub as it take a good 2–3 hours to heat from cold. We headed up to the pool for a swim whilst the hot tub was heating up! My daughter loved the indoor heated pool and we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves!
The hot tub had reached the perfect 40 degrees on our return, and although the weather had turned to damp drizzle it didn't put us off! It was the most relaxing experience sat in a hot tub, with a glass of wine, looking a the views, hearing the birds singing, and watching pheasants strutting past wondering what on earth we were doing!!!
The Graythwaite Estate is a privately owned estate of approximately 5000 acres of mixed woodland and farmland. They have over 30 properties to let as well as Silverholme, which is a luxury manor house that can be rented for weddings and functions.

Currently BackupPC_nightly runs at the first wakeup each day.
So if you want it to run at noon, you could set $Conf{WakeupSchedule}
to, eg, [12], or even [12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22]. In the first case,
BackupPC will only run backups once per day, at noon, and
BackupPC_nightly won't run until all the backups are done.
Why do you want BackupPC_nightly to run at noon? If there is a good
reason then it could be added as a new config parameter.

Something is wrong, unless you have a particularly huge pool.
BackupPC_nightly spends most of its time looking through the
pool deleting files that only have one link.
How long does find take to run:
find /data/BackupPC/cpool -print > /dev/null
You might want to run fsck on your pool file system. You could
also add debug statements to BackupPC_nightly to see what it is
up to.
