Like his countryman and contemporary Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Thompson (later Count Rumford) aimed by his inventions and scientific research to increase the degree of comfort in daily life. During fourteen years spent in Munich, he made important reforms in the city's public service and social welfare institutions; he also introduced improvements in the hospitals and workhouses in Ireland, England, and Italy. His goals were practical, and his contributions to our knowledge of the nature of heat were as valuable as Franklin's to our knowledge of electricity. Rumford believed heat to be a form of energy, and worked to demolish the widely held material theory of heat.
Between 1870 and 1875 the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston published Rumford's "complete" Works, financing the project with part of the increase of a fund that Rumford himself had given to the Academy in 1796. This edition presented, in order of their first appearance, all the papers that the Academy committee was able to find. The Academy edition has long been out of print and practically unavailable.
In this edition Sanborn Brown has rearranged the papers according to subject matter. Rumford's papers dealing with light and with armament are contained in this fourth volume. They include "Intensity of Light"; "Coloured Shadows"; "Harmony of Colors"; "Chemical Properties of Light"; "Management of Light"; "Source of Light in Combustion"; "Air from Water Exposed to Light"; "Description of a New Lamp"; "Experiments upon Gunpowder"; "Force of Fired Gunpowder"; and "Experiments with Cannon."

WHAT IS ANARCHISM?
"CAN YOU tell us briefly," your friend asks, "what Anarchism really is?"
I shall try. In the fewest words, Anarchism teaches that we can live in a society where there is no compulsion of any kind.
A life without compulsion naturally means liberty; it means freedom from being forced or coerced, a chance to lead the life that suits you best.
You cannot lead such a life unless you do away with the institutions that curtail your liberty and interfere with your life, the conditions that compel you to act differently from the way you really would like to.
What are those institutions and conditions? Let us see what we have to do away with in order to secure a free and harmonious life. Once we know what has to be abolished and what must take its place, we shall also find the way to do it.
What must be abolished, then, to secure liberty?
First of all, of course, the thing that invades you most, that handicaps or prevents your free activity; the thing that interferes with your liberty and compels you to live differently from what would be your own choice.
That thing is government.
Take a good look at it and you will see that government is the greatest invader; more than that, the worst criminal man has ever known of. It fills the world with violence, with fraud and deceit, with oppression and misery. As a great thinker once said, "its breath is poison." It corrupts everything it touches.
"Yes, government means violence and it is evil," you admit; "but can we do without it?"
That is just what we want to talk over. Now, if I should ask you whether you need government, I'm sure you would answer that you don't, but that it is for the others that it is needed.
But if you should ask any one of those "others," he would reply as you do: he would say that he does not need it, but that it is necessary "for the others."
Why does every one think that he can be decent enough without the policeman, but that the club is needed for "the others"?
"People would rob and murder each other if there were no government and no law," you say.
If they really would, why would they? Would they do it just for the pleasure of it or because of certain reasons? Maybe if we examine their reasons, we'd discover the cure for them.
Suppose you and I and a score of others had suffered shipwreck and found ourselves on an island rich with fruit of every kind. Of course, we'd get to work to gather the foot But suppose one of our number should declare that it all belongs to him, and that no one shall have a single morsel unless he first pays him tribute for it. We would be indignant, wouldn't we? We'd laugh at his pretensions. If he'd try to make trouble about it, we might throw him into the sea, and it would serve him right, would it not?
Suppose further that we ourselves ant our forefathers had cultivated the island and stocked it with everything needed for life and comfort, and that some one should arrive and claim it all as his. What would we say? We'd ignore him, wouldn't we? We might tell him that he could share with us and join us in our work. But suppose that he insists on his ownership and that he produces a slip of paper and says that it proves that everything belongs to him? We'd tell him he's crazy and we'd go about our business. But if he should have a government back of him, he would appeal to it for the protection of "his rights," and the government would send police and soldiers who would evict us and put the "lawful owner in possession."
That is the function of government; that is what government exists for and what it is doing all the time.
Now, do you still think that without this thing called government we should rob and murder each other?
Is it not rather true that with government we rob and murder? Because government does not secure us in our rightful possessions, but on the contrary takes them away for the benefit of those who have no right to them, as we have seen in previous chapters.
If you should wake up to-morrow morning and learn that there is no government any more, would your first thought be to rush out into the street and kill some one? No, you know that is nonsense. We speak of sane, normal men. The insane man who wants to kill does not first ask whether there is or isn't any government. Such men belong to the care of physicians and alienists; they should be placed in hospitals to be treated for their malady.
The chances are that if you or Johnson should awaken to find that there is no government, you would get busy arranging your life under the new conditions.
It is very likely, of course, that if you should then see people gorge themselves while you go hungry, you would demand a chance to eat, and you would be perfectly right in that. And so would every one else, which means that people would not stand for any one hogging all the good things of life: they would want to share in them. It means further that the poor would refuse to stay poor while others wallow in luxury. It means that the worker will decline to give up his product to the boss who claims to "own" the factory and everything that is made there. It means that the farmer will not permit thousands of acres to lie idle while he has not enough soil to support himself and family. It means that no one will be permitted to monopolize the land or the machinery of production. It means that private ownership of the sources of life will not be tolerated any more. It will be considered the greatest crime for some to own more than they can use in a dozen lifetimes, while their neighbors have not enough bread for their children. It means that all men will share in the social wealth, and that all will help to produce that wealth.
It means, in short, that for the first time in history right justice, and equality would triumph instead of law.
You see therefore that doing away with government also signifies the abolition of monopoly and of personal ownership of the means of production and distribution.
It follows that when government is abolished, wage slavery and capitalism must also go with it, because they cannot exist without the support and protection of government. Just as the man who would claim a monopoly of the island, of which I spoke before, could not put through his crazy claim without the help of government.
Such a condition of things where there would be liberty instead of government would be Anarchy. And where equality of use would take the place of private ownership, would be Communism.
It would be Communist Anarchism.
"Oh, Communism," your friend exclaims, "but you said you were not a Bolshevik!"
No, I am not a Bolshevik, because the Bolsheviki want a powerful government or State, while Anarchism means doing away with the State or government altogether.
"But are not the Bolsheviki Communists?" you demand
Yes, the Bolsheviki are Communists, but they want their dictatorship, their government, to compel people to live in Communism. Anarchist Communism, on the contrary, means voluntary Communism, Communism from free choice
"I see the difference. It would be fine, of course;" your friend admits. "But do you really think it possible?"

Before StopForeclosureFraud puts up posts it tries its best to research sources and is not quick to rush to post what may not seem right for its readers. SFF had several tips of such Mass Joinder request to post but refrained from doing so for the following reasons and please make sure you read both articles below to fully understand.
Last week I posted a "Homeowner Warning" about a mailer I'd received from a homeowner promoting participation in a lawsuit, referred to as a "Mass Joinder" lawsuit, being filed against several major banks on behalf of homeowners by the law firm of Kramer & Kaslow. Before I posted the "warning" I spoke with several attorneys I know that are well-versed in law firm marketing compliance, and I made two attempts to contact the Kramer & Kaslow attorneys at the number provided on the mailer, but received no response.
Everyone who follows Mandelman Matters knows Martin puts an enormous amount of effort into his investigative reports.
The scam is particular elaborate since a federal ban went into effect earlier this year against requiring up-front payments to those offering mortgage relief. Rules being what they are, there is an exception to it — for lawyers. While the terms are a bit more specific than that, it opened the door to people supposedly working on behalf of lawyers to still preying on those whose homes are being foreclosed.
Long story short do your homework so you don't fall victim to scams.
While I can appreciate you looking out for your readers, I think it might be a good idea to look at individual suits. The Kramer/Kaslow action as well as Ronald v. BOA and others are for real.
In Particular the Ronald v. BOA has been going on for two years and has survived six motions to strike, dismiss and it's got BOA by the short hairs…and could set a huge precedent.
That is why the CA DRE is freaking out and issuing statements like this. Yes, there are scammers, but the Kramer/Kaslow and Mitchell Stein actions are real cases dealing with 1,000's of plaintiffs.
They are also CA SB 94 compliant, which is what was referred to. They make no guarantees and are doing it by the book…and winning.
The headline on this post is completely and absolutely misleading and that does a disservice to your readers.
As in every other opinion that I have read that is against the validity of a "mass joinder" lawsuit, you focus on the potentially illegal or unethical marketing going on and that has been pointed out by Mandelman before who then followed up and confirmed that the REAL Kramer and Kaslow law firm had issued cease and desist orders against several entities using their name.
I cannot understand why all you alarmists continue to PRESUME the mass joinder concept is bogus because the marketing has been questionable. Frankly, as a homeowner and RE Broker who has been dealing with this crisis personally and on behalf of clients for over 3 years, I am long since convinced of the massive fraud committed by the Banksters and Wall Street Fraudsters. My attention is fully focused on what will work to bring these scum vermin to be forced to negotiate and do the right thing. It seems apparent to me that what needs to be accomplished is bring the underwater loans down to market value and the servicers to be stripped of their servicing rights. Secondly, these servicers would have to pay back the bondholders the difference between the new reduced loans and the amounts paid for those loans. That would be absolutely the best form of justice for the bondholders and borrowers. Beyond that, many executives of the servicers should be in prison but I doubt that has a snowballs chance in hell to happen. I guess Bernie Madoff has to pay the price for all of them even though he had nothing to do with the securitized mortgage industry.
The B of A case by Mitchell Stein is for real and the case files are available for anyone to read. It appears to be going well as the previous post made clear. Kramer and Kaslow joined Stein after that case was filed and I have still nothing that PROVES they are fraudulent in any way but I have not joined their lawsuit yet.
At this point I am not in active foreclosure so I am still keeping my options open and evaluating progress on a daily and weekly basis, but like every other underwater homeowner, I can appreciate warnings about scammers but more importantly is we all want to know the essential question, HOW DO WE BRING THESE FRAUDSTERS DOWN and HELP all groups destroyed by this crisis they brought on!
If "mass joinder" is legal and valid then it has the power to bring the effencies and cost savings of a large group without the obvious shortcomings of "class action" where the lawyers get all the money.
First, Let me say thank goodness you're not in foreclosure.
Next… there is so many folks out there who are trying to do all they can to save their home and family from whatever comes their way. Not everyone understands how real estate works. Scams are always 2 steps ahead.
Last. Imagine if us "alarmist" never exposed this foreclosure fraud? This is what we were called plenty of times until reality kicked in.
We have yet to scratch the surface. When it all sets in that the banks were indeed paid by insurance etc. this is the rude awakening yet to unveil itself.
Keep your eyes on Bloomberg v. Clearinghouse (Fed).
For all of us "alarmists" who utilize the information on the internet to search for complaints, a search using "K2 LAW Complaints" or "United Law Group complaints" or "Brookstone law complaints" most certainly yield some "alarming" results.
Probably the most "alarming" is found by searching "K2 Brookstone United law group" all in one search.
I applaud anyone who dares to take on the Lenders and Servicers and I wish them all the best success. However, I am concerned that the "United Law Group", "K2" and "Brookstone" approach to mass marketing and telemarketing might just work too good.
The fake lawsuit scammers are back at it but now they go by Residential Litigation Group in Florida. They are charging thousands of dollars upfront and promising results that noone can deliver. Save your money and notify the attorney general. If you already gave them your bank account information, file a complaint and get your money back NOW!!

The Protocol between the Government of the Republic of Portugal and the European Maritime Safety Agency of 28 July 2004 ('Seat Agreement') aims at providing further administrative provisions for the relevant articles of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities.
The provisions of the Seat Agreement spell out in more detail the fiscal and financial conditions that apply to the Agency (Art. 2 - 5). It further details the rules applicable to the staff of the Agency (Art. 6).
The main conditions relevant for staff are:
Staff is entitled to import and export free of duty personal effects in relation to their move to and from Lisbon. This is mainly relevant for staff recruited from outside the EU.
Staff enjoys the privileges and immunities, exemptions and facilities granted by Portugal to members of a comparable category of the diplomatic corps in the Portuguese Republic (Art. 6 § 3). In practice this mainly means that staff are exempted from VAT on certain purchases and have a quota of duty free products (tobaccos, fuel, alcohol and similar).
Staff may register a vehicle under CD or FM number plates exempt from taxes. Married staff members may register a 2nd vehicle for the spouse (similar conditions for registered couples). If this vehicle is sold after no less than four years, no tax will be imposed. The vehicle(s) may be replaced once under the same conditions

This Fall 2016 started off with excited students eager to meet their new Chinese roommates and discover their new dorms! We have students coming from Rivier College, Santa Clara University, Elon College, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, Saint Joseph's University, Georgetown University, St. Louis University, Seattle University, Stonehill College, Gonzaga University, Loyola University Chicago and Loyola University Maryland. As you can see, our students come from a wide range of places and have brought with them their diverse backgrounds. Following their arrival, orientation kicked off to a start, which lasted a week from August 9th to the 13th. They were introduced to the TBC staff, how to get around the city and campus and they also got to know their peers through fun icebreakers! After the busy orientation week, the TBC students were more than ready to embark on the Silk Road Trip. The Silk Road Trip is a two-week trip along the historical silk trade route connecting Eastern China to the countries bordering Western China. It's definitely not possible to travel along that route for two weeks so TBC picked out some cities along the route for the students to visit. The cities included Xi'an, Lanzhou, Xia'he, Dunhuang, Turpan and Kashgar. The two weeks were extremely rigorous with 10+ hour train rides and many, many bus rides and ohh, let's not forget camel rides too. The trip featured Terra Cotta Warriors, Muslim Street, City Wall biking, Tibetan family parties, Labrang Monastery, Mogao Caves, Sand Dunes, Ancient City Ruins and many more things that will take a really long time to list. Let's just say that the trip was one of a kind and breathtaking. We asked one of our TBC students about her take from the trip and Monica Contreras said, "It's a once in a lifetime experience. For me, it was a spiritual experience because you get to learn about other people's religion and how they live. The different places allowed me to connect with God through nature, through conversations with strangers and embracing moments of solitude on the train waiting to arrive to our next destination." Monica is a sophomore at Loyola University Chicago majoring in Marketing with a minor in Pastoral Studies. All things have to come to and end so did the Silk Road trip. Classes were right around the corner and despite the good old times on the Silk Road, the students were eager to find out about their classes and professors. TBC offers extremely diverse courses in Business Finance, Chinese Political and Economic Reform, State and Society in China, Chinese Language, Chinese Foreign Policy, Introduction to Chinese Martial Arts, Chinese Medicine, Introduction to Buddhism, Traditional Chinese Philosophy, Modern Chinese Fiction, Modern Chinese History, Managing People and Organization, Discovering China Through Film, Chinese Architecture, Marketing in China and China in the World Economy. All these classes are rigorous and aim to submerge TBC students as much as possible into the society that they are currently living in which is no other than China itself.

Salman Khan tops the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list for 2014
12th December 2014 Posted by indiathai
You are here: Home / Salman Khan tops the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list for 2014
The 2014 Forbes India Celebrity 100 in its third year has found a new leader. For the first time in its three-year run, Shah Rukh Khan has been unseated from the top slot by friend and peer Salman Khan. Reason: The star didn't have a film release (barring a cameo) in the period considered for this list (October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014). Consequently, he finds himself at No 3.
Salman Khan, meanwhile, has topped the charts, both in terms of revenues and fame – a first for a Forbes India celebrity list topper. Clearly, though controversy and court cases continue to dog the actor, his clout has only continued to grow with his box office hits, TV appearances and his charitable trust 'Being Human'.
The No 2 slot is occupied by Bollywood's most enduring star Amitabh Bachchan, who has moved up three places this year. His celebritydom was only enhanced by his nearly 12 million Twitter following, the largest for anybody on that platform in India.
Despite a quiet year, Shah Rukh Khan's firm hold in the top of the list can be attributed to his undiminished brand value that has earned him approximately Rs 202 crore (the highest through endorsements). With 22 such deals in hand, he has endorsed the highest number of brands this year. On the fame count, however, he could only garner a No 7 costing him the top slot.
The top 5 in the 2014 Forbes India Celebrity 100 dominates the earnings sweepstakes, accounting for as much as 35 per cent of the total revenues of the Top 100. However, like last year, the top 10 continues to have only one woman-this time, Deepika Padukone replaces Katrina Kaif.
Preity Zinta makes a surprise entry in the celebrity list at No 14 on the back of her fame count which far outweighs her relatively insignificant earnings. Her film career, however, had no role to play in this. It was her spat with Ness Wadia, the co-owner of IPL's King's XI Punjab, and the strong performance of the team that ensured media coverage.
Other notable newcomers to the list are singer Arijit Singh, cricketer Ajinkya Rahane and actors old and new, from Bollywood and the South: Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Rajinikanth and his son-in-law Dhanush are among the 20 debutantes. Ten others- including Sunny Leone, MC Mary Kom, Kangna Ranaut and Imtiaz Ali- are returnees to the list.
TV comedian Kapil Sharma has made the biggest climb this year: He is up 60 places to 33 as his show 'Comedy Nights with Kapil' continues to enthrall audiences. Singers Yo Yo Honey Singh and Mika Singh too have made significant progress to Nos 16 and 40, from their earlier slots of 59 and 74 respectively.
The composition of the list has also seen a slight change in gender balance. There are now 28 women compared to 21 last year. Of these, five are returnees while five debut on the list. Women celebrities also outdid the men on air-time bought for TV commercials. The first three slots in the top 10 endorsers on TV are occupied by actors Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif.
The 2014 Forbes India Celebrity 100 issue this year is a five-cover special: Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh and Sania Mirza. The all-star lineup also includes features on film directors Imtiaz Ali and AR Murugadoss, singer Arijit Singh, Olympic medal winning boxer Mary Kom and cricketer Ajinkya Rahane.
The Top Ten and their Earnings:
1. Salman Khan Rs 244.50 cr
2. Amitabh Bachchan Rs 196.75 cr
3. Shah Rukh Khan Rs 202.40 cr
4. MS Dhoni Rs 141.80 cr
5. Akshay Kumar Rs 172.00 cr
6. Virat Kohli Rs 58.43 cr
7. Aamir Khan Rs 80.47 cr
8. Deepika Padukone Rs 67.20 cr
9. Hrithik Roshan Rs 85.00 cr
10. Sachin Tendulkar Rs 59.54 cr
While the Forbes India Rich List focuses on net worth, the Celebrity 100 list is arrived at by measuring money (earnings estimates) and fame. The list includes movie actors, television stars, sportspersons, authors, film directors, music directors, singers and stand-up comedians. Their gross pre-tax earnings are combined with their fame scores to arrive at the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List.
The Celebrity 100 measures money and fame, which includes estimated entertainment related earnings from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014, and how visible they are on print, television and internet (including social media). Our principal data partners TAM-Eikona, Exceed Entertainment, Galatta magazine, LexisNexis, IOS Sports and Entertainment, and GroupM ESP helped provide data for Celeb endorsements as well on print and TV exposure. We were also supported by indiantelevision.com, radioandmusic.com, tellychakkar.com, and Nielsen BookScan for data gathering process on select category of celebrities.
The magazine, priced at Rs 150, will be available across the country on newsstands from 12 December 2014. For more details and coverage on the business of entertainment visit www.forbesindia.com

Students are eligible to apply for workstudy positions in costuming, scenery, box office, script library, choral library, and recruiting (*note- typically box office positions are awarded to non-departmental students due to time conflicts). Applications for positions should be submitted one week prior to the beginning of the semester. Workers will be selected on the basis of skills, experience, reliability, and initiative. These positions are campus jobs and will be considered as such in terms of renewal and department recommendation. Any student who meets the requirements for employment will be considered. Payment for such jobs is handled through the Melissa Larson in Human Resources. Any student who receives financial aid will be working for the Performing Arts Department under the work study program.
If a student qualifies for employment but receives no form of financial aid, they will be paid on a payroll basis, when available. Those working under the payroll system may seldom work more than 5 hours per week, according to university guidelines. If an individual has a work-study position, s/he is not eligible for a payroll position as well. The university deems this an "over award" and will not allow it.
Clock in immediately upon reporting to work.
Anticipated absences should be reported to the Designer and Technical Director in advance. All absences must be made up during the week in which they occur.
Do not schedule any work period of less than 1/2 hour.
Be sure to clock out when dismissed. Have the TD initial your time card or record sheet at the end of each work period. Notify a supervisor of the status of your assignment before leaving the shop.
Store your time card in the appropriate place. Your time card is your responsibility. Do not remove your record sheet from the shop.
If you do not follow the above guidelines, there will be repercussions. The first no-call, no-show will result in a verbal warning. The second no-call, no-show will result in a written warning filed with Human Resources. The third no-call, no-show will result in termination.
A student assistant holding a production position must also complete all work-study hours. The hours required for a production position are separate from the hours required for a University work-study or payroll position. Students are not allowed to delay or postpone work-study obligations in order to fulfill production position(s).
Student work-study and payroll timecards are valid only if signed (initialed) by the Staff and/or Faculty member supervising the area. Timecards will not be accepted for payment initialed by student supervisors.
It is very likely that the student will find it necessary to work above and beyond the requirements of both work-study and production class hours to successfully complete a production position. As stipulated earlier, the faculty/staff supervisor makes the final determination regarding the completion of quality work.
Arrive prepared to work. Report to Technical Director/Assistant Technical Director for an assignment. DO NOT stand around waiting to be noticed.
Wear grubbies. Shop activities damage clothes.
Avoid loose-fitting clothing which may become entangled in equipment.
Avoid hazardous jewelry. Cautious technicians remove all hand jewelry.
Wear hard-soled, hard-toed shoes. Do not wear sandals or sneakers.
Leave personal items such as coats and books in the house, Green Room, or locker.
Do not begin a project until you thoroughly understand all instructions, then follow those instructions carefully. If you are not sure, ASK.
Do not remove any tools, materials or equipment from the stage area without permission. Check pockets for pencils, hardware, and tape rules before leaving.
Clean all tools and work areas before clocking out. Participate immediately in shop and stage clean-up when instructed to do so.
Absolutely no smoking in the Scene Shop. Beverage containers are not permitted on the power saws, on stage, or in the house. Place empty beverage and food containers in the appropriate receptacles.
All supervisors will be asked to evaluate you according to attitude, contribution, dependability, and quality of work. Keep these criteria in mind during all work periods.
Once in a while, during slow or down time, class projects may be worked on in the shop area. However, be certain to check with the Technical Director before using any equipment or materials.
Use the correct tool for the job. If you are not sure, ASK.
When an assignment is completed, return all tools to their proper storage area, clean and in good condition. Clean up the work area.
Report broken or dull blades, bits, belts, bulbs, or equipment malfunction to your supervisor.
After painting, clean all brushes, rollers, sprayers, sponges, cans, buckets and other equipment and return them to the proper storage area.
Do not abuse tools. Use tools for their intended functions only.
Do not stand directly behind or in front of any piece of power equipment while it is in operation. Be particularly cautious of the radial-arm and table saws.
Do not reach across any piece of operating machinery.
Wear safety equipment while operating all power machinery.
Do not operate any equipment unless you are familiar with its proper operation. If unsure, ASK.
Never attempt a two or three person job alone. Ask for assistance.
Operate flying equipment only when instructed to do so.
Use proper warnings when operating fly equipment to notify those onstage.
Clear the area below the loading platform before loading or unloading arbors.
Do not carry loose items to the grid.
When reweighting in the grid, wear a harness. This is NOT an option.
Wear hard hats and dust protectors when instructed to do so.
Learn to react immediately to the warning "HEADS". This warning indicates danger from overhead. Move out of the way immediately when someone shouts "HEADS".
Do not spray paint in an unventilated area. Use paper to protect floors, walls, and driveways from spray paint.
Check with your supervisor before using any construction materials and paint.
Always use partial pieces, opened paint, and used hardware before cutting, opening or installing new ones.
Return all unused materials to their proper storage places. Close or cover paint cans.
Dispose of all scraps promptly.

The flash bracket / umbrella swivel I'm using works just fine, but I'm a little nervous about the way the flash attaches. It's held in place by a combination of friction from screw on the side of the flash bracket itself plus friction from screwing down the wheel on my flash's shoe/foot mount.
Since the bracket is metal and my flash is the older Metz 48 AF-1 design, with plastic foot, I feel a bit nervous about clamping too tightly. But if I don't, it seems like there's a risk of the flash just sliding right out either the front or back, especially if the bracket gets tilted.
Is there a better little cold-shoe product that's less scary? I'm not aware of anything which has the Pentax-specific locking pin slot (except this which is out for price), which would be a little comfort, but that's not necessarily the right approach either. It seems like there ought to be something where there's a secure latch on the front and back, so once mounted the flash can't go anywhere (but which could still be easily undone). I can't find it, though. This accessory shoe at least has the front blocked, which might be an improvement, but on the other hand it lacks the side friction screw.
It's the Frio Universal Cold Shoe Adapter. It's exactly designed for what I need, and at a little over ten bucks it fits under my price limit, too. So I ordered one; here's the report!
It's a little rectangular piece of relatively tough plastic, with a cold-shoe "pocket" near the front and a flexible clip to hold the flash in place. Underneath, there's a securely-attached metal socket, threaded for a standard 1/4" tripod screw.
It works; my Metz flash snaps easily into place and is held there securely. Until I tighten the wheel on the flash shoe itself, the flash wobbles from side to side a bit, but there's clearly no risk of it going anywhere. Once the wheel is tightened, it's steady.
The clip to release the flash is molded from the same piece of plastic; it flexes down or up to provide the locking. I didn't have any difficulty or frustration working it — in fact, it's easier and faster than the screw mechanism of my existing cold metal shoe. The clip seems secure and it does appear to be high quality plastic, but if you take your flash on and off the clip dozens of times a day, it may wear out.
The other thing worth mentioning is that since the screw doesn't go entirely through the clip, you may want a nut to tighten underneath the clip. It holds well enough without but that would feel even more secure and make it easier to fix the clip so it definitively faces one direction even if bumped.
It's a little pricey for what it is, but that's typical for niche products from little companies. And when compared to the generally high prices for this kind of photo equipment in general, it actually seems within the realm of reason. Given that it seems to do its job so well, I'd say it's worth it for the ease of use and the security for my flash. You can get it with free shipping from Amazon, or get the triple-pack for under $30 including shipping — get one for multiple light stands, or split with a friend.
Yep, this answers my question. I hope this or similar clips become standard, but until then, this'll do.

Cambridge United fans have reacted to the shock announcement that plans for a revamped stadium and sports village have been binned.
The U's were pinning many of their hopes on Grosvenor developers who had applied to build 500 homes and a sports facility in Trumpington Meadows.
If that had gone ahead so would a major refurbishment of the Cambs Glass Stadium in Newmarket Road.
But the developer withdrew the plans this week because of problems associated with the fact it was on the green belt.
The football club has now said it will look at other options and the developers said they were "disappointed".
Fans have reacted to the news.
They include Cambridge MP and U's supporter Daniel Zeichner.
He said: "The withdrawal of this application will come as a surprise to some, but I have thought for some time that it would be difficult for the local councils to agree the suggested development.
"My understanding is that alternatives are being worked on, and I am confident that the club will be coming forward with new proposals which will secure the progress that Cambridge United have been making.
Cambridge Fans United chairman Robert Osbourn said: "It seems very clear that South Cambs have made their decision for the reason it's given and where you've got green belt, that does give you more of a difficulty getting it overturned.
Stephen Gooch was disappointed the plans were ditched on behalf of the wider community and grassroots sports.
Rob James called on Mr Zeichner to step in.
Cyberwraithx1 was worried about house prices in the city after the plans to build hundreds of homes were scrapped.

2021 Best of Jewish Phoenix
Notice to Our Readers
As a public service during this pandemic, the Jewish News is providing free, unlimited access to all articles. Jewish News is a nonprofit publication that is owned by the community and relies on community support.
Attendees at the Best of Jewish Phoenix bruch are welcomed by Rabbi Stephen Kahn of Congregation Beth Israel at the Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center. (The building was Beth Israel's original home and the first synagogue in the Valley.)

Bob Roth, the master of ceremonies, introduced each of the 10 families before a video of the families was shown.

Best of Jewish Phoenix brunch draws 150
Honors 10 families for community commitment across generations
Feb 22, 2015 Updated Feb 25, 2015
More than 150 people attended Jewish News' inaugural Best of Jewish Phoenix brunch this morning (Feb. 22), including the mayors of Phoenix and Scottsdale.
The event at the Cutler-Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center in Phoenix was held to honor 10 families with a multi-generational involvement in the Valley's Jewish community and to celebrate the publication of the 2015 Best of Jewish Phoenix. The magazine features profiles honoring those families for their contributions to the community through the years, as well as articles about vintage Jewish Phoenix.
The program featured videos of the 10 families, after which each family was invited up to receive a family photograph and a one-night stay at sponsor L'Auberge de Sedona.
The Cutler-Plotkin center, operated by the Arizona Jewish Historical Society, was chosen as the venue because it serves as the Valley Jewish community's historical museum, and because the building originally was the home of the Valley's first synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel.
It was a communitywide event, with Dr. Lawrence Bell, executive director of Arizona Jewish Historical Society, welcoming the event to the building; Jewish News publisher Jaime Stern greeting the audience; Todd Herzog, cantorial soloist of Temple Solel, leading "Hatikvah" and "The Star-Spangled Banner"; Bob Roth, managing partner of Cypress HomeCare Solutions, as master of ceremonies; Rabbi Stephen Kahn, leading Hamotzi; and the families – whose ties stretch from Beth Israel to Beth El Congregation to Temple Emanuel of Tempe to Jewish Free Loan and many more synagogues and organizations – being applauded by all those who gathered.
For more on the honorees — the Eckstein-Newmark, Frazin-Lerner, Goodman, Jalowiec, Levertov, Lewkowitz, Mallin, Schupak-Neuberg, Sheinbein and Taubman-Reuben families — Best of Jewish Phoenix 2015 is online here, and video presentations about the families (used in today's event) have been posted here.
This is an updated version of this report, incorporating additions made in the Feb. 27 print edition of Jewish News.

Entities NOT Being Boycotted at this Time
Bookstores selling books by or about Donald Trump and/or Trump family Not only do bookstores sometimes have publisher-level (versus title-level) deals in place, but written material about political figures provides valuable strategic insight, even when that material financially benefits those figures, i.e. author Tony Schwartz's work. Shwartz has since emerged as on of Donald's key critics.
Companies reflected by Donald's cabinet picks Effective boycotts give the companies on the list a positive, actionable way to have their names removed from the list, so adding the companies of the companies reflected by Trump's cabinet would not be productive. For instance, adding ExxonMobil to the list when Tillerson was a part of the cabinet would not have been strategic, because Tillerson resigned from the company to take the position. If placed on the list, there wouldn't have been anything ExxonMobil could do to get off it. Instead, we added infor to the "Other Companies on Our Radar" part of the list.
CVS In mid-Aug 2019, Out Magazine published a claim CVS is a "major Trump donor" b/c the corporate PAC of CVS gave $35k to the Trump Victory PAC for the 2020 election. Corporate PACs are controlled by the employees of the company, not the company itself or its leadership. At some companies, corporate PACs function as a way for employees to donate in alignment with the values of company leaders. The CEO of CVS, though, has given to both Republican and Democrat candidates and causes in the past including an Obama victory fund in 2011. He's never donated to Trump and the CVS corporate PAC donates fairly evenly across the aisle in general. In the 2018 midterms they gave slightly more to Democratic candidates, in fact. The CVS story, in our opinion, was more about one of its vendors, The Pill Club, being in a contract dispute with CVS. Pill Club is a subscription birth control service that delivers birth control and other prescriptions by mail. It appears to have used that one particular CVS PAC donation as leverage in its contract dispute with CVS. It may be that Pill Club was trying to piggyback a bit on the legitimate SoulCycle outrage (which was about the billionaire owner of a company versus an employee-run PAC) in order to get better reimbursement rate in its contract. It definitely speaks to the toxicity of the Trump administration that even an employee PAC that gives fairly evenly across the aisle can be implicated right now. The consumer concern being expressed about this situation should serve as an object lesson to other employee PACs considering donating to Trump Victory. We are including CVS in the "other companies on our radar" section of the site.
Facebook Given its massive international user base, the ways in which Facebook contributed to the distribution of foreign-financed propaganda during the 2016 U.S. presidential election is of utmost concern, particularly given reports of Facebook's unconscionably lax practices and attitudes regarding user privacy and third party data collection. That Trump surrogate Peter Thiel is on the board of Facebook doesn't help. After extensive discussions w/ Grab Your Wallet participants, Facebook is NOT being placed on the boycott list at this time because it's a vital tool for self-organizing and Mark Zuckerberg has formally committed to fixing the problem. That said, we're watching this one closely and we certainly understand those who have already said goodbye forever to this platform. See "Other Companies on Our Radar" section of this site for more info on Facebook.
Home Depot Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus endorsed Donald Trump and routinely makes offensive/inflammatory remarks in public but he hasn't been an executive at the company for a long time (he doesn't even sit on the board). We feel certain that the current leadership of Home Depot hates it when Marcus is given the spotlight by the press, because it constantly makes people think he's still involved with the company. He's not. All Trump Home products on the Home Depot site were marked "discontinued" in the early days of the Grab Your Wallet boycott and are now simply gone. See "Other Companies on Our Radar" section of this site for more info on Home Depot. It is not known at this time what percentage of Home Depot's total stock is owned by Marcus but it is unlikely to be a controlling share.
Marvel Studios / Disney Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter is an Israeli-American businessperson and chairman of Marvel Entertainment, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. In the second quarter of 2019, Isaac Perlmutter donated $360,600 to the Trump Victory committee, a joint fundraising operation between the Trump campaign and the RNC. In the 2016 election cycle, Laurie Perlmutter, Isaac's wife, donated $5 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. It's sometimes reported that Perlmutter is the "Marvel CEO." This is incorrect. Perlmutter is the chair of Marvel Entertainment, which handles the comic books and television portion of the Marvel business. Kevin Feige is the president of Marvel Studios and reports directly to the chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. Because Feige has been so instrumental in bringing diversity to Marvel's stable of films (Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Black Widow (upcoming), Shang-Chi (upcoming), Blade (upcoming), Black Panther 2 (upcoming, and Captain Marvl 2 (upcoming)), The Grab Your Wallet Alliance is at this time making a judgement call to refrain from adding Marvel to the boycott list for now. That said, if you'd like to express your concern about Perlmutter's continued and reportedly very-problematic-for-many presence at Marvel, the head of its media relations team, Jeff Klein, can be reached at [email protected]
PayPal Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel is an official Trump campaign surrogate but his involvement with Paypal ended long before the 2016 election and he does not sit on the company's board. While some boycotts of PayPal have chosen to focus on Trump supporter Carl Ichan being a PayPal stockholder, publicly traded companies do not control who owns stock in them and according to the Wall Street Journal, Ichan owns only 3% of the company's stock, which is not a controlling share.
Niketown Update 12/6/17: Forbes reports that Niketown is leaving Trump's property in New York City and that Trump was a factor in that decision. The athletic apparel company's flagship Niketown store in New York City was located in a space owned by Trump and was reportedly one of Donald's biggest revenue generators, but as with other companies that leased from Trump, it is acknowledged that the lease was likely signed prior to the election, which is why Niketown was never placed on the Grab Your Wallet list.
Washington Post Amazon was on the #GrabYourWallet boycott list & Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos personally owns the Washington Post, however the Post was an institution long before Amazon bought it and it continues to do some of the finest and most essential investigative reporting in the world. When polled 58% of #GrabYourWallet participants said WaPo should not be added to the list. In June 2018, Washington Post employees released an open letter to Jeff Bezos in video form, saying that Bezos had ignored their unions' pleas for pay equity and fair raises, despite the fact that they had doubled digital subscription rates and raised page views by over half in a one year period. We do encourage people to subscribe directly to WaPo versus doing so through the Amazon site or Kindle, Fire, etc.

ADNOC signs agreement for 5.86m barrels strategic crude oil reserve in India
Published Thursday, January 26, 2017
In the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL), agreed on Wednesday to establish a strategic crude oil storage in the southern Indian city of Mangalore.
The agreement with ISPRL, an Indian government-owned company mandated to store crude oil for emergency needs, covers the storage of 5.86 million barrels of ADNOC crude oil in underground facilities, at the Karnataka facility.
Copies of the agreement, were exchanged by Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO, and India's Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, at a ceremony in New Delhi, during a visit to India by a high-ranking UAE delegation, led by HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
Dr Al Jaber said: "This agreement, championed by the leadership of both countries, introduces a new strategic energy partnership with India that leverages the UAE and ADNOC's expertise and oil resources. This mutually beneficial partnership will create opportunities for ADNOC to increase its market share in delivering high quality crude to India's expanding refining industry, while also helping India meet its growing energy demand and safeguard its security.
"India is an important energy market and this storage agreement reinforces ADNOC's role as one of the world's most trusted and reliable suppliers of oil. We will utilise the Mangalore facility to not only build on our existing business relationships across India but also to explore new downstream opportunities for ADNOC's expanding range of refined and petrochemical products," he added.
The Petroleum Minister of India, Dharmendra Pradhan, said: "It is our hope that this strategic agreement will build on the strong bonds of cooperation between our two nations and provide the foundation for a mutually beneficial energy partnership. This will also help to ensure India's energy security and enable us to meet the nation's growing demand for energy. This agreement is also a reflection of the vision of the Honourable Prime Minister of India towards strengthening hydrocarbon linkages with UAE in a win-win basis."
The Mangalore oil storage facility is the third that ADNOC has had access to in Asia. In Japan, the ADNOC has oil stored in the Kiire's Oil Terminal in Kagoshima City, and in South Korea a similar agreement allowed ADNOC to store oil in KNOC's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In addition to helping to ensure energy security, the oil storage facilities enable ADNOC to efficiently and competitively meet market demand across south east Asia.
India is 79 per cent dependent on imports to meet its crude oil needs, eight per cent of which is supplied by the UAE. In addition to the Mangalore facility, the ISPRL is building underground storage facilities at Visakhapatnam, in Andhra Pradesh, and Padur, in Karnataka, to stockpile 20 million barrels of oil, enough to meet India's oil requirement for 10 days.
During the visit to India, Dr Al Jaber also signed a MoU to explore options to supply crude oil to West Bengal's Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd's (HPL) new refinery in Kolkata, which will have a consumption capacity of 300,000 barrels of oil per day.
Under the terms of the MoU, ADNOC and HPL will also examine the possibility of ADNOC increasing the supply of light refined naphtha to HPL.

This article was written for a brand new magazine focusing on probiotics and healthy cannabis – Probiotics & Cannabis. Below is the full article from the premier issue – April 2015.
Herb is holistic. It contains yin and yang. We must not fall prey to the thought that cannabis alone will make us better. We must think of the whole picture. Just like any tool, cannabis contains both polarities and we must be aware of how to use the herb. Today, some folks gain tremendous healing from the use of cannabis, even till the point of reversing cancer. Some people use cannabis, however, without getting better. In fact, sometimes the symptoms only get worse. At one point in my life, no matter how much cannabis I smoked, my body was getting weaker. Why is this?
Healing with cannabis depends on the mind of the user. Herb reveals our innermost thoughts and allows us to express our true nature. Unknowingly to most, our minds enter a meditative state when we consume the herb. This state makes us more sensitive towards our environment. That is why herb should always be combined with holistic activities. Stretching, hiking, cooking, socializing or meditating. What we do while we smoke makes us who we are! Unhealthy ideas promoted in popular media can become a part of us. If we smoke while engaging in bad posture, the relaxation, caused the herb, may actually change the structure of the entire bodily system and can worsen our overall posture.
Cannabis is widely gaining acceptance, yet most of us have been persecuted our entire lives. We have heard of its holistic health benefits, but at the same time we have heard many misconstrued lies about its damaging effects. Because of this, paranoia is common amongst users. Fear arises, manufactured by those who told us cannabis was bad for us. Mistrust in the herb resides within many minds. Because many of us do not believe in the healing power of cannabis, we will never gain its full benefits. In fact, we may create negative effects within their own mind body.
We all hold doubts and fears created mainly by propaganda and lies. Some folks, who have smoked herb for decades, still do not believe cannabis is actually medicine. Because our thoughts create our reality, everything we think, true or untrue, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is why some cannabis users may never reach their full potency as human beings. Their mind holds them back from experiencing the truth. That is why the same herb can be helpful to some and damaging to others. Cannabis has the ability to be good for humanity. But we first, we must become conscious of all its attributes.
If only humanity was still told the truth from the start, we would not doubt our connection with the mother of herbs. Fear not, cannabis has evolved with humanity for over ten thousand years. Our ancestors medicated with herb, made clothing with hemp and used herb to experience the divine. References to cannabis can be found in almost every culture and religion in this world.
Cannabis can be good and bad for a human being, depending on the thoughts that we wield. Not all cannabis use is good use. The majority of cannabis being grown is filled with toxins and pesticides which will diminish or eliminate the healing and meditative effects of true probiotic herb. Also, many people will flip on the television when they sit down to connect with the sacrament. The programming will easily instill distorted messages and imbalance within the mind. Media and propaganda will only separate us from our true nature and healing. Be in control of what you think, do not let others dictate your state of being. Herb will make turn your thoughts and dreams into a reality. So think wisely!
When the mind is relaxed, all things come to light, good or bad. Our thoughts and emotions are more easily expressed in this level of mind. Be aware in order to direct its flow and free our minds from harmful programming that limits our potential. Learn to utilize and harness the infinite mind. When the television programming is on, the mind forgets how to operate. Eyes become dull and creativity diminishes instantly. This is how some people lose intelligence from herb. True cannabis meditation is full of visions and colors. An activated mind uses every neuron and fiber in the body to manifest feelings of joy and wholeness. The beauty of a creative and lifted mind exceeds anything ever made on film. The "DMT" experience can be gained through closing the eyes and meditating with cannabis.
Meditation is observing self. It is the releasing of mental, physical and emotional blockages that prevent us from being in harmony with our world. When we enter the sacrament, we prepare our mind body to heal and channel energy into specific areas of our consciousness. Be confident in the healing potential within you and the herb. With every breath, our bodies expand with healing and rejuvenation. Be high and lifted up. Let us turn heavenly dreams into a reality.

Guide to Literary Terms
Would this be an example of an allusion, metaphor, or suspense? "The cat was coming again to play with the mouse." Would this be an example of an allusion, metaphor, or suspense? Thanks.
clairewait
Top subjects are Literature, Social Sciences, and Science
I think there are lots of viable answers presented here, but has it been suggested that cats and mice do not "play" together? This is most distinctly an example of personification, which is ultimately a type of metaphor.
Out of context, you have to look at the language on its own. Though it is true that cats appear to "play" with their prey, at face value, this isn't the literal definition of the word "play."
So I say it is mostly an example of a metaphor.
We need more information about this quote, especially the context. As other editors point out, it could be a metaphor, depending on what the situation was. An example would be if it was actually refering to a situation like an older sibling coming back to torment a younger sibling. However, in either case, it would be an example of suspense, as the sentence makes us want to read on and find out precisely how the "cat" is going to play with the poor "mouse."
booboosmoosh
Probably as has already been said, this would be a metaphor, but see note at end.
Allusion refers to a famous person, place or event. For example, He was the Van Gogh of his kindergarten art class, refers to Van Gogh and compares the talents of the two individuals. This is a form of figurative language.
Suspense is language that creates a sense of fear or dread by offering a description. The following quote from Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" provides suspense as the reader moves along through the story:
"The nitre!" I said; "see, it increases. It hangs like moss upon the vaults. We are below the river's bed. The drops of moisture trickle among the bones.
A metaphor compares two dissimilar things as if they were the same. The two things described simply share similar characteristics. You are the sunshine of my life is a metaphor. The woman (or man) being described will not give you sunburn or melt the blacktop driveway in the summer, but he/she is probably warm, with a "sunny" disposition. In terms of "metaphor," some might consider this a metaphor, comparing the cat and the mouse to children playing.
Personally, I think I would be more apt to identify the example as personification. It gives human characteristics to non-human things. Cats and mice certainly do NOT "play." However, in that this choice is not given, I would go with "metaphor." (Had both choices been given, the answer would have been much harder, I would imagine.)
Lisa Metcalf
Without context you can't say for sure, but the expression of "cat and mouse games" comes to mind. As mentioned above, the metaphor is used to express when a strong one overcomes a weak one, but when cats go after the prey of mice they don't just attack in one fell swoop -- they "play" with it to death. They will pounce and release, chase it around for awhile, bat it around, and eventually the poor victim is just beaten up to the point of death. This metaphor suggests the long or at least drawn out 'battle' where eventually the weaker one will fail. That the cat came back suggests that the mouse survived the first battle, but might not last this round.
stolperia
Without setting the sentence into some sort of context, it's hard to say what the sentence means. There is no way of knowing details that would influence the interpretation of the sentence and its meaning. It might be a toy mouse, for all we know based upon the given sentence! My cat loves to attack its wind-up mouse.
mwestwood, M.A.
M.A. from The University of Alabama
There is also a curiosity connected to the suspense in the fact that the cat is returning "again" to play with its usual prey. What kind of cat is this? How did the cat and the mouse play last time, and will they repeat what they have done. Is the mouse actually alive, or is the cat merely returning to toy with his dead catch as cats are often wont to do?
Robert C. Evans
I agree with both answers offered above. I particularly agree that your best answer in this case, without any existing context, is "suspense." Since we ordinarily assume that a cat will attack, kill, and perhaps evenn eat a mouse, there is an element of suspense here. We wonder if the expected behavior will take place, especially since the sentence suggests that it may not take place. We wonder if the narrator knows something about this particular cat and mouse that we may not know. There is, then, a (slight) element of suspense here.
litteacher8
If you are not talking about an actual cat and mouse, it is a metaphor. It can also be considered an idiom because we use the metaphor of a cat and mouse game to describe when a stronger party is toying with a weaker one. An idiom is basically just a commonly used and understood metaphor.
bullgatortail
It is not an allusion (though there probably are stories in which a cat and mouse play; however, no particular example is mentioned) or metaphor, so your best answer would be "suspense." The sentence itself is not particularly suspenseful, but the idea of a cat returning to play with (and not eat) a mouse is certainly one that is interesting, and most people would like to hear more about this unusual pairing. So, there is an element of suspense in the sentence.
