Sure, we're a better dog walking company, for better dogs. But let's start with what dog walking should do for your pet.
but they may not be inclined to exercise without encouragement.
They should be encouraged from a young age to greet and interact with other dogs and people. If a dog doesn't have the opportunity to socialize, it can't be expected to interact appropriately.
A minimum of two walks daily help prevent elimination problems, destructiveness, separation anxiety and other common behaviour issues.
How many times will we walk your dog?
You decide. If you'd like your dog walked in a regular group, with the same dogs each day, the minimum will be three times a week. That's with our Frequent Walker program. If you'll only require walks every once in a while, that's fine too. That'd be our On Command program.
It depends to a degree on the area you live in, of course. But we like to vary the locations to give them the opportunity of exploration and change. Dogs can go on leash or off leash depending on your wants and the dogs' recall levels. We'll take into consideration various factors such as traffic, weather, park conditions and which other dogs may be at a given place at a certain time.
How long does a group walk last?
A walk lasts approximately an hour. In the few cases a year that the temperature rises or drops to an unsafe degree, we will truncate the walks. You'll find that our rates are comparable to or lower than many companies that offer much shorter walks.
Also check out our dog walking rates.
Will your dog be walked with others like him/her?
Yes. We make sure that the personalities within the group are compatible. Of course this doesn't mean that dogs are grouped by breed or size. Temperament and activity are much more important. No aggressive dogs are taken on group walks.
Before we accept any bookings, we will hold a free pet consultation. This gives you an opportunity to meet us and us to meet you as well as to answer any questions you may have. We'll go through details such as normal daily exercise, feeding requirements, health, contacts, phobias, personality and your special requests. This is the first key to us to providing the highest level of care.

Lawry's is famous today for its seasoned salt, which was first marketed in 1938. Lawry's gets its name from the famous, fancy prime-rib joint in Beverly Hills, California. The seasoned salt is a staple in nearly every American home. It can be used on eggs, in meatloaf, on grilled meats, or to add a little flavor to any run-of-the-mill french fries.
This is McCormick's Brown Sugar Bourbon Marinade. This mix of spices, whiskey, red bell peppers, and brown sugar will add depth to any meat, including chicken, beef, pork and even shrimp.
This is McCormick's version of a Memphis-style dry rub for slow-cooking ribs. Of course there are many versions of this spice mixture, which is rubbed onto meat before slow cooking it. And you don't have to limit yourself to ribs! You can also use it for burgers, pork roasts, chicken, or even fish.
Chicken wings, this little packet, and an oven are all you need to make a juicy, homemade, full-flavor buffalo-style chicken wings. Just shake the spices and the chicken in a bag, pop it in the oven and there you have it. Don't forget to serve with celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing.
American Grocery Store, McCormick chili powder This blend of spices is the essential base for any chili recipe. Use it, along with other fresh herbs and spices, vegetables, beans, and tomatoes to create the perfect chili.
American Grocery Store, McCormick crushed red pepper Simple crushed red pepper. For some reason this simple ingredient is nearly impossible to find in Europe, but we've got it. It's an essential ingredient in many dishes, but lots of us Americans like to simply sprinkle it on our pizza to give it a little extra pizazz!
This delicious blend of herbs and seasonings from McCormick will turn an ordinary burger into a savory onion burger. You can mix it into the meat before making patties or, if you're short on time, sprinkle it over already-made burgers before cooking to add lots of oniony flavor.
McCormick ground mustard is exactly what it says it is: ground mustard seeds. It is perfect for making homemade macaroni and cheese or even for potato salad or devilled eggs if you are short on French's Yellow Mustard. Good cooks make use of this secret ingredient more often than you'd think. Make sure you always have some on hand.
McCormick Lemon Pepper is a classic blend of black pepper, lemon, garlic, and salt that Americans have come to love. It is an easy way to spice up chicken breasts or add more zing to vegetables, fish or other seafood.


Oh..... I didn't know that there is a breast feeding room in The Mall. Mommy... if you looking for a breast feeding room in the mall go second floor(if I'm not remember wrong) near the toilet there. Is kinda not obvious to find lah but it has there. Me go the mall countless time I just knew it have one there!
When me and my wife saw the door feel like found a treasure there.

On the Importance of Altruism, Prosocial Behaviour and Christian Love in Behavioural Economics Research
Rati Mekvabishvili
The article discusses the concepts of altruism and prosocial behaviour and their importance in interdisciplinary studies of behavioural economics. The basic theoretical models and concepts of altruism in Behavioural Economic are reviewed. Altruism is shown to be a hidden and complicated form of selfishness. In essence, altruism and prosociality are therefore not fundamentally different concepts: both are ultimately self-oriented. In article we take Christian worldview and compare altruism with Christian love and discusses their differences and the importance of their theoretical and practical implications. We show that altruism and Christian love are not only diverse, but contradictory concepts, which in our opinion is of great importance at least in terms of promoting well-being of human society.

Rafael Galvão de Almeida says:
I thought the article to be interesting, since relationship between economics and Christian thought and theology has a lot of potential to understand how both works. I have been somewhat researching a few of these issues and I believe I can us share it to comment on your article. The literature on Christianity and economics is overrepresented by American authors, so I'm glad that you offer another perspective, from mostly Eastern Orthodox writings. In the first draft of this comment, I was going to suggest to specify the exact tradition you base your argument, but I guess there's no problem in using a general blanket term for "Christian thought" in this case, since love is usually considered one of the least controversial topics in theology.
One thing that needs to be clearer is how exactly evolutionary and behavioral economics mingle. Kahneman and Thaler aren't exactly on the same research terms as Bowles and Gintis; the former borrows more from psychology and decision theory, and the latter from evolutionary biology and complexity studies developed in the Santa Fe Institute, though the latter is much more distant from the orthodoxy than the former. As far as I know they study altruism from different perspectives, so making this distinction clearer could be useful, and how they relate to sociobiology (it also should be made clear on how sociobiology influences the perspective being criticized in the article). One way would be introducing sociobiology in the beginning of the article (since the term only appears once). In the end, the allure of sociobiology is similar to rational choice theory, creating explanations that have scientific auras, with mathematical models and apparently value-free premises and conclusions.
That being said, the relationship between Christianity and evolutionary economics and behavioral economics is underexplored. In Faith & Economics, the peer-reviewed journal of the Association of Christian Economists, there is only two reviews on this issue, one from Bloem (2015) and another from Yungert (2018) (though this is more libertarian than Christian), and no proper article. Tan (2013) wrote a literature review of these issues, though. It is a suggestion to incorporate in your research.
One thing that wasn't clear: when you're citing Pope and Meisinger, are you citing them to support or criticize their argument (especially on p. 7)? Because, from the references (I didn't know of them beforehand, by the way), they attempted to understand the relationship between altruism and Christian thought. Were they approving or critical? Because this is a phenomenon I see in a lot of Christian circles, of people rushing to conform some scientific discovery to the faith. In addition to Tikhomirov, I can also quote the example of James Clerk Maxwell: he was one of the most important physicists of the 19th century and a devout Presbyterian. When he was invited to join an institute to combat materialism, he refused. At the time, many Christians were using the idea of "ether" to prove the Bible, but Maxwell scoffed at those attempts because he knew that the physics of 1876 would be different from 1896 – the ether is an extinct doctrine today (see McNatt, 2004).
I just have one personal problem with this phrase: "First of all, in my opinion, true science and true Christian teaching cannot contradict each other, since truth is one." This is an idea that I think it's similar to the idea natural theology, of a distinction "book of God" and a "book of Nature" in the Western European 17th century thought. As Charles Taylor wrote in A Secular Age (Taylor 2007), this separation ended being one foundation of today's secularism. Stephen Hawking's closing words in A Brief History of Time became famous, that if we discovered a theory of everything of physics, we would "know the mind of God". In other words, "find the Book of Nature". In my thesis I asked whether economists could make a similar claim (after a known macroeconomist claimed DSGEs would become a Theory of Everything just like from physics, a few months before the 2007 financial crisis explode for added irony). I argue that neither economists nor physicists can ever fulfill that claim because science will never be perfect, there will be always debates and scientists will abandon and recover theories until the end of time. To argue otherwise might be dangerous.
One example that might pass over our heads is theology. Pick any book on the history of theology – it shows how it's a human creation and has always changed. I say this not to disqualify it, but emphasize how our understanding of God might not set in stone, and yet sometimes we do hit the target and reach an agreement that approach us from God. Not understanding this can lead to problems. I can see it in my own Christian community in the doctrine of Rapture; it's a recent and anthropocentric doctrine disguised as a flashy theocentric one, and it just creates perverse incentives. It's also a factor for the association of the alt-right and Christianity in the US and Brazil because they think it's the only correct way to interpret the Bible, that puts them in a heroic position. So I critique Hawking's words in the sense that "if we could learn such exact knowledge, it would not be quite correct to say we learned what God had in mind when He created this world – instead, we would become God." (Almeida, 2019, p. 98), and I didn't write that in a positive way. That is the reason why I don't think that there is such a thing as "true science" – we can keep discovering more accurate, more applicable scientific knowledge that can improve our lives and tell us more about the universe, but I don't think we will ever reach the point of discovering the "true true" causes of things and, from a theological point of view, neither is this knowledge available for us.
Though one thing I appreciate is the exposition that economics has ideology, it's not as value-free as orthodox economists claim (there was a discussion in this journal last year, see Donald Gilles's article and my comment in Vol. 9, n. 1) and extending this assessment to the evolutionary theory should be considered. Roscoe (2014) has an interesting argument on how evolutionary biologists such as Dawkins use evolution to base morality and how, in the end, becomes a new guiding myth (and a poor one), and how economics might take advantage of it to justify neoliberalism – which, in spite of what the American Christian Right might say, they go against any historical Christian doctrine. I also tend to agree with Robert Nelson (2001)'s argument that economics becomes a secular religion in many contexts, in order to fulfill the niche that used to belong to theology in the 19th century. As much as scholars run away from the discussion of values and ideology, its ubiquitousness reaches a point that efforts to avoid it are like sweeping the dirt under the rug. As Taylor (2007) wrote, the so-called Secular Age is actually one that has many competing views and values.
But when you write "It is also a fact that evolutionary theory and its modifications are not based on scientific facts and belong to a purely philosophical and philosophical category" I think the writing needs to be careful. It does not consider why, then, it is considered the most accepted theory in biology. Let me use the example of economics: the tenets of neoclassical economics have been disproven, unverified, refuted both at empirical and theoretical level so many times (like, browsing the WEA's site, who hosts this journal, can give you a modest sample of critiques to orthodox economics). And yet, it still remains the same: rational economic agents in a general equilibrium framework. It has changed at a snail's pace. And the main journals still thousands published studies in these lines yearly, the PhDs students in the most prestigious centers are taught these doctrines and so on. This has disastrous consequences (see anything written by Steve Keen, Johnathan Aldred, among others). But the majority of economists still subscribe to it because it opens to a wide range of issues and has produced good enough results. And, especially, no heterodox doctrine managed to get enough clout to challenge its hegemony or serviceability. Being a heterodox economist is still a career gamble. I suppose the theory of evolution has a similar issue, but I am not a biologist and I am not confident enough to adventure so far from my field of expertise (even though I spent a lot of time studying general scientific methodology; while some "rules" in both biology and economics might be similar, I'm sure they're not the "same" – as much as I know how some orthodox economists dislike heterodox economics, they always refrained themselves from calling it "pseudoscience" in peer-reviewed publications, while the situation is different in other sciences) so I can only comment using a proxy of economics. Maybe you could focus more on the normative consequences of sociobiology alone (because there were evolutionary biologists, such as Stephen Jay Gould, who opposed sociobiology).
As for final thoughts, the article needs a bit of rewriting to think more about its audience, since this is a generalist journal. I mean, in the sense of how Christian thought can contribute to the general debate.

Russia establishing facts of Israel's air attack on Damascus — Lavrov
Syria's air defense systems repelled a missile attack that targeted the cities of Damascus and Homs overnight into Monday
MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. Russia is establishing the facts of the Israeli Air Force's missile attack on Damascus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told journalists on Monday.
Missile strike kills at least four Syrians, 21 wounded - SANA
"We are establishing the facts now. We do not know what happened there. We want to gain insight into it, but the necessity to respect and execute the UN Security Council's operating resolutions, that no one cancelled, is our principle which we will proceed from when assessing actions of any players in the region," the minister highlighted.
Syria's air defense systems repelled a missile attack that targeted the cities of Damascus and Homs overnight into Monday. According to the SANA news agency, the missiles were launched by Israel's warplanes out of Lebanon's air space.
Reuters reported that representatives for the Israel Defense Forces declined to comment.
Putin, participants in Berlin summit will attempt to launch resolution process in Libya
At least ten heads of states and governments are expected to take part in the summit

Q: Distributing distinct objects into distinct bins if each bin can hold one object How to distribute $r$ different objects in $n$ different bins? Each bin can hold one object.
The book says that the the answer is:
$$n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)...(n-r+1)$$
I guess this is being done looking at the choices of each object.
Why can't we look at the problem bin by bin instead like this
$$r(r-1)(r-2)....(r-n+1)$$
I know I am missing a trivial point.
In general how do you select the thing whose point of view is to be taken in account?

A: It helps to look at extreme cases.
Suppose we have $n$ bins and one object. There are $n$ ways we can match an object with a bin since we have $n$ choices of bin in which we can place the object.  The alternative formula you considered would match all $n$ bins with one object, which would be impractical.
We wish to match objects with bins.  Since only one object can be placed in each bin, we should get zero if there are more objects than bins.  However, if we choose objects rather than bins we will get $0$ whenever there are more bins than objects, which is clearly false for the case of one object and two bins.  Hence, we must choose the bins in which we place the objects.
The formula
\begin{align*}
P(n, k) & = n(n - 1)(n - 2) \ldots (n - k + 1)\\
        & = \frac{n(n - 1)(n - 2) \ldots (n - k + 1)(n - k)!}{k!}\\
        & = \frac{n!}{(n - k)!}
\end{align*}
comes from the observation that we have $n$ bins in which we can place the first object, $n - 1$ remaining bins in which we can place the second object, and so forth until we have $n - (k - 1) = n - k + 1$ remaining bins in which we can place the $k$th object.  Notice that when $k \geq n + 1$, the product reduces to zero, as expected.

A: If we look at the problem bin by bin then the question is something similar like this:

*

*Given $n$ boxes, how many ways are there to put $n$ boxes on $r$ objects if each box can only be placed on one object?

*Otherwise, this question is similar to: Given $n$ different boxes, how many  ways are there to put $r$ objects on each box if each object can only be placed on one box?
We can generalize it like this:
If we need to distribute $r$ objects into $n$ groups, each group hold exactly one object (not each object must be in exactly one group, which is not possible because there may be some leftover objects) then the answer is $n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)...(n-r+1)$.

A: You can think of two steps: first select $r$ objects in $r!$ ways, then put them into $n$ boxes in ${n\choose r}$ ways. Hence:
$$r!\cdot {n\choose r}=r!\cdot \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}=(n-r+1)(n-r+2)\cdots (n-1)n.$$

LUK, Inc. – Adapting to community needs in the wake of COVID-19
By Submitted Article |
PUBLISHED: April 10, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. | UPDATED: April 10, 2020 at 10:21 a.m.
FITCHBURG — Fifty years ago, LUK Crisis Center, Inc. was established to meet community needs in Central Massachusetts.
Over the years, LUK has remained dedicated to its vision of creating communities where all people are healthy, safe, and resilient, by ensuring that our programs and services meet the needs of the people we serve.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for LUK, just as it is for members of the community and other organizations. It strives to balance the commitment to the mission and the safety and well-being of its staff and their families. LUK staff have shown creativity, perseverance, and resourcefulness during this difficult time.
"Sometimes we joke that 'crisis' is our middle name," Beth Barto, LUK's CEO, said.
"Our staff has an amazing ability to come together during a crisis. Crisis can create a sense of unpredictability and confusion. Our 50 years of crisis management experience helps us help others to manage difficult life events," Barto said.
LUK has ensured that staff and the people it serves remain informed and connected, and develop rituals and routines.
From day one of the crisis, team members have been encouraged to share their innovative ideas for continuing service delivery. The whole organization has come together. Exceptional leaders have ensured that we are responsive, not reactive.
Throughout the last few weeks, LUK accelerated implementation of telehealth services in order to ensure safe social distancing while continuing our programs.
This project had begun in October 2019 with support from The Health Foundation of Central MA, and in partnership with The Community Health Center, Spanish American Center, and CHNA 9.
LUK and its partners were due to launch telehealth services through a pilot project in April.
LUK disseminated COVID-19 practices to our staff on March 9, revising them regularly to reflect new developments. On March 18, LUK trained 200 staff members on the nuts and bolts of telehealth as well as necessary documentation and how to troubleshoot technological glitches.
Since then, creativity has blossomed at LUK. Every day there is a new story of creativity by LUK staff and consumers. One staff member purchased a Bob Ross wig and created art with a youth over video, for example.
LUK also works with children and youth ages 0-24 in our Residential, Foster Care, and Transition to Independent Living Services.
For the young people in residential services, its creative teams have established routines and activities consistent with healthy social distancing while maintaining a home-like environment.
In order to ensure these youth are feeling connected, LUK provided equipment to conduct video visits with family and natural supports. Team members in LUK's Independent Living Services are busy ensuring young people who are homeless have access to safe spaces, emotional support, and needed supplies.
The common theme throughout the above examples is its extraordinary staff.
LUK could not achieve our mission without the dedication of its essential workforce. It is grateful for their collective wisdom and thank them for their selflessness during this time of great uncertainty. LUK's managers have encouraged teams to make sure they are taking care of themselves during this difficult time. The staff is also encouraged to use video conferencing to connect with their colleagues and their families and tips have been created for those who work from home.
For more information about LUK, Inc. visit www.LUK.org, call 800-579-0000, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Join us in building stronger communities, family by family.

Help prepare your cat for different people, animals and experiences.
Cats are a highly intelligent domestic animals and need stimuli. This includes but is not limited to toys, treats, playtime, human touch and animal companions.
Cats are highly social animals. However, it is easy to overlook their subtle sociability and affection, which can come in the form of a nose touch, a slow eye blink or a tilt of the tail.
Those who are talked to, cuddled with and played with are generally healthier and more affectionate companions. When you get home from work, spend the first 10 minutes visiting with your cat. A couple of 10- to 15-minute play sessions will improve your cat's attitude and fitness.
Cats who are ignored and seldom handled are more likely to be aloof and independent. These cats can become bored, sick and depressed and will often misbehave just to get their owner's attention.
Healthy socialization is attained most easily by starting young. Studies show that kittens who get more attention and petting are more likely to thrive. A kitten under the age of five months is much easier to handle and socialize to humans than an adult cat. But that doesn't mean an adult cat cannot form strong bonds with others.
When adopting an adult cat, remember that he has already formed an opinion about humans. Some may readily jump at the chance to be back in a warm lap. Others may need more time to build trust or to learn the rules of appropriate feline-human interactions.
Boredom is the root of many behavior problems. One way to prevent boredom is to adopt a companion who will act as a playmate, partner and friend. A cat companion also reduces the risk of your cat developing destructive behaviors or becoming depressed or incredibly needy when you are home. Young male cats (3 to 24 months) have an especially strong desire for a buddy.

Ol' Backwoods harvested quite a few sunflower seeds this year, from four plants. I had a lot of trouble with bugs, but I think I know what do do next year: hit them hard with DE and Neem Oil early, while the bugs are small.
I used about two cups of water with 4 tbsp of salt, and swished the seeds around for about 5 minutes, then soaked them overnight. After that, I roasted them in the oven for about 3 hours at 180 degrees.

Forums » Builds and Project Cars » 1979 Suzuki TS250. How hard could it be?
MulletTruck, thanks for the potential parts source. I think I have all of the model specific parts that I'll need, but it's always good to have sources.
Question time: Has anyone converted a bike from 6 V to 12 V? Actually, I'm really only doing this because I want to run LED's for the tail/brake light. I'd like to do it with no battery. Is it as simple as running a 12V regulator/rectifier from the yellow wires stator output? In the meantime, I need to go through and check all my connections and grounds because I've got a couple things that still don't work. A new bulb didn't magically fix the brake light. Key and kill switch are still too lazy to do their jobs.
You can get 6 volt LED lamps - I know they sell them for old cars.
Also, I happen to have a pair of mirrors from a 78 or 79 TS250 sitting in my basement right now. I forgot to include them when I sold the bike. They can be yours for the cost of shipping.
Don't forget to clean the exhaust pipe thoroughly. I've seen friends build killer motor just to blow up on startup from the last failure left chunks hiding in the pipe. Also, don't listen to those that say forget about the oil pump just run premix. TS requires the pump and some require both pump and premix.
stuart in mn: That would be an option, but I kind of want to build a rear rack with a strip LED to function as brake, tail, and turn signals. Not sure if it will be worth the effort.
thatsnowinnebago: Thanks for the mirrors offer. PM me a shipping cost or just a conservative estimate. Zip code 65279.
44Dwarf: I do still need to burn out the exhaust. I jammed various crap in there to break up the carbon at the inlet, but it feels heavier than I think it should, so it'll see the business end of a torch pretty soon. You're correct about the oil pump. The left side crank bearings are oiled via the pump. I ran premix for the first start up because I wasn't positive the pump was functional. I figured that would give me time to make sure it functioned before grenading the brand new top end. It works just fine, but it leaks a couple drops after each ride.
I won't have time to work on this for a little while. Lots of family stuff going on and other projects that require my attention more than this. This bike gets people telling stories, and I love that. It seems like everyone in the world had a bike like this one, and they want to share stories about it. So it functions as a catalyst for conversations with people I may not have talked to otherwise. Of course it's loud and obnoxious, so it may eventually start some conversations I don't want to have, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Small confession... I have mentioned that I couldn't get the key and kill switch to do their jobs despite bench tests showing that they were both functional. I checked wiring connections over and over and removed the tank probably a dozen times. All this time, I knew that it was a ground issue, but I had checked and had continuity everywhere. Except I didn't. Instead of trusting the chassis grounds, I decided to jump from the grounds in the headlight bucket directly to the ground coming out of the stator. Bingo. Perfectly functional. Should have done that a long time ago. Now I need to try that same song and dance with the tail light wiring. I should also see if the horn magically works now too.
Another small confession... I left the headlight out to start the bike to see if everything was working, but I forgot to turn off the lights before starting. Dash bulbs blew. Doh. I know better than that. Oh well. The tach doesn't work and the speedometer is so bouncy it might as well not work. I have a phone holder for handle bars. I'll just use that with a speedometer app.
Still really busy with work and other projects, but I try to get an hour or two a week to work on this thing. It's nice having a project with no deadline.
Well, I spent the last month waiting on my historic plate. It finally arrived. It was 40 degrees the next morning. I have about 100 miles on this now (only a few of them with a license plate). It's cheap, simple, and fun. My total cost including new tires and tax/title/license is right around $750.
If I have time this winter, I'll swap out the monstrosity of a tail light with something... smaller. Might try to clean up the fenders a little more. There's a dent in the tank that would probably come out pretty easily. Other than that, I think I'm done. I'll get a couple pictures to wrap this one up.
It would be hard to find (they didn't build very many of these bikes and even fewer of them came with lights), but the taillight from a Suzuki RL250 trials bike is a lot smaller and more attractive.
That is pretty cool. I'm surprised any of those came with lights.
I was leaning toward a flush mounted light from an older DR. Should be able to find a 6 volt version. I'd have to figure out a license plate mount that looks decent and can't hit the tire, but that won't be too tough.

True-Crime Author Puts Spotlight on Bremerton
A piece of Bremerton's tragic past will be spotlighted this coming spring.
True-crime author Gregg Olsen has a new book about the 1997 murder of Dawn Hacheney. Her husband, Nicholas Hachney, a former Bainbridge Island pastor, was convicted in 2002 of killing her in and hiding the evidence by setting fire to an East Bremerton apartment. He was sentenced to just over 26 years in prison, though he could be released in 16-19 years. Details of his post-prison community custody terms still must be worked out in court again.
The case drew gasps and wide eyes of horror from community members when sordid details of the case came out in court. Nicholas Hacheney had reportedly had affairs with several parishoners, including one mistress's daughter. One woman claimed she had a vision from God, who told her that Dawn Hachney was going to die and that she would become Nicholas Hachney's new wife.
In other words, the details of the case proved perhaps inevitably that a true-crime writer would seize upon it. That seems apparent in the promotional video for the book "A Twisted Faith," which is set for release March 2010 (see promo video below).
It may not one of the highlights of Bremerton's collective memory (we'll just blame Bainbridge), but then isn't all PR good PR?

A 'Mighty' Former Bremerton Resident Gets an $18M Facelift
The USS Missouri is seen in Drydock 4, Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2009 at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. (AP Photo/The Honolulu Advertiser, Gregory Yamamoto)
For all of you here in Kitsap who still feel a connection to the historic USS Missouri, which was mothballed on Bremerton's waterfront for decades, here's a little update.
The ship was towed from its tourist spot near the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center yesterday and into a Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard drydock.
Earlier this year, the USS Missouri Memorial Association began work preserving the gray lady, on whose decks Japan signed the declaration of surrender that ended World War II. For the next three months, the ship will be cleaned up, rewired and otherwise spiffed up (if you can call $18 million worth of work "spiffed") for the nearly half million tourists who now visit the ship ever year. They will sandblast and fortify the hull, and upgrade electrical and sewer systems. The work is being paid for with a $10 million Department of Defense grant and funds from the nonprofit USS Missouri Memorial
She'll be back open for tours — they cost $20 per person — in December.
I visited the ship last month. They were doing early painting touch up work, but it still was open for tours.
I didn't visit it when it was in Bremerton; I probably wasn't old enough to appreciate it at the time. But I remember the fight when its departure from Bremerton was announced. It was downright vicious, involving a federal lawsuit and strong words from our local Congressman.
For those of you who don't know the battleship's history and tearful goodbye with Bremerton, here's a synopsis:
The ship was mothballed in front of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard from 1954 to 1984. Perhaps because of the popularity of the tours and the exposure it received during the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, other cities began clamoring for visits from the Mo.
The ship was towed to Long Beach, Calif., and recommissioned in 1984. It toured the world and was deployed during the Gulf War. Its return to Bremerton was promised by then-Navy Secretary H. Lawrence Garrett III in 1989, and it came back for its second mothballing in 1992.
In 1995, the year of the 50th anniversary of Japan's surrender 1995, several cities — including Bremerton, Pearl Harbor, and Long Beach, Calif. — petitioned to become its permanent home. Hawaii, of course, won.
Last year, 10 years after it was towed away, some Kitsap residents still felt saddened by the battleship's departure.
No matter the argument about where the ship belongs, it serves its purpose at the Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor. As one of our commenters put it, the Missouri provides a "period" to the memorial's statement on the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
So while I was there, taking it all in, I thought I'd bring a little back for my fellow Bremertonians. It may not be the ship, but these images from the tour are going to have to suffice. Also included at the end of the slideshow are photos of the Arizona memorial so you can read the sentence backward. (If you also have visited the Mo in Bremerton or there, e-mail me photos or post a link to them in a comment.)

Q: Physics of time running backwards Although it would seem weird to analyze physical phenomena when time runs backwards, it seems to have a logical sense, at least for me:

*

*Entropy would tend to decrease: two balls having energy interacting would cause one of them (the one having the highest amount of energy) to collect all energy; in fact, as far as I see, thermodynamics laws would hold, except that the second law will be reversed (so, the interpretation would be that energy tends to concentrate, instead of spreading);

*Force fields would just change direction; attractive entities will repel and vice versa; anodes will have the effect of cathodes, etc.

*What we call "input" of a system would just act in a reverse direction; so, causality would just be reverted (at least, at a linguistic level).

*The relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy would be reversed!! (if I'm not wrong, energy types regarding time can possibly be interpreted as: potential energy is change to happen in the future; kinetic is change that happened in the past).

*etc.

Is there any formal study/book addressing the subject of backwards-time physics (also called retro causality) (I just find speculations and scarce punctual observations)?

A: Yes, we talk about T-symmetry or time reversal symmetry when physical laws under the transformation of time reversal remain the constant. In quantum mechanics a time-reversal operator $\hat{\Theta}$ can be defined. You can use the properties of this operator to study how other operators change under time reversal, for example $\hat{\mathbf{r}}$ remains the same, but $\hat{\mathbf{p}}$ is reversed. Modern Quantum Mechanics by Sakurai deals with this topic in chater four.
Some of the assumptions you made are incorrect, for example forces will remain the same. Dimensionally speaking $F=MLT^{-2}$, so time reversal won't affect the direction of the force. Imagine a cassical electron orbiting a nucleus, under time reversal the electron's velocity is reversed, but the force between the eletron and the nucleus is still attractive.

Q: kanban scrumish tool(s) to get started After investigating a little bit scrum and kanban, I finally read this answer and decided to start using kanban, picking something from scrum (note that I'm working mostly by myself, and I do have read this question and its answers).
Now, my question is: which tool would be best to get started?

*

*whiteboard and postit

*agilezen.com

*JIRA with greenhopper

*a spreadsheet (possibly on Google Docs)

*brightgreenprojects.com

*Agilo

*Target Process

*something else (please specify)

Notes about each:

*

*I would lean towards the whiteboard, but there are several drawbacks (e.g. cannot make automatic charts, time measurements, metrics, and sometimes I work from home - where I need it most - and it's not convenient to carry :-)

*I don't want to remember another username/password (I promised to myself to signup only to OpenID-enabled services)

*My employer has JIRA but my group doesn't use it - I might ask for an account (it shouldn't require another password) and maybe later involve the rest of the group. But I don't know if they are using greenhopper and if it's a big deal installing it.

*I generally hate spreadsheets

*maybe overkill?

*I'd be happy to have a localhost instance, but it could be problematic to give access to the whole group (per network/firewalls) - not a deal-breaker but surely a concern
What I'd like to get from this?

*

*being more productive

*tracking how much time I spend in any given task, possibly discussing the issue with my supervisor

*tracking what "blocks" me most often

*immediately see where I am compared to my schedule

*manage in a better way my long todo list (e.g. answering faster to the "what I should do next?" question)

Do you have any suggestion?
Note on the scrumish tag: read the Henrik Kniberg's PDF. He first introduced the definition of scrumish on page 9.

A: If I may, I think that you are on the wrong path. Anything else than 1. or 4. is overkill and pretty much useless for a non distributed team. So for a team of one person...
Seriously, if you can avoid using a web based application, just do it. First, unless you are already mastering Scrum/Kaban, you need to learn the process, not a tool. Don't let a tool dictate the process. Then most web based tools are just too much click intensive, less easy and fast to update, less transparent/visible than a spreadsheet and a physical board. They are really 2nd category options.
So, I'd go for a spreadsheet and a physical board combo. If you need some charts (I'm still wondering what kind of chart/metrics you want to generate and what value they provide), a spreadsheet is the ideal tool (but honestly, you don't need any tool to draw a burndown). If you need to work from home, take the spreadsheet (or use google docs) and post its with you. Let's be objective, the impediments you mentioned are actually not real.
Last thing, if you had chosen the simplest thing that can possibly work, you would already be doing Scrum, Scrumban or whatever. So, instead of looking for a tool, my advice would be to just start doing it.

A: agilezen.com seems like the ideal solution for you.  I have used it in the past solo for myself and it is convenient.  I would not let a prejudice against non-OpenID sites get in the way of making a good choice.

A: pick the tool you already have, and start using it; don't let the absence of the "perfect tool" become an excuse not to start
EDIT: pick the simplest thing that can possibly work. In your case that would be whiteboard and postit notes. These have almost no setup overhead and will provide a constant visual reminder of what you're supposed to be doing.
And I suggest that you get used to making decisions on your own, as you're going to have to be your own Scrum Master ;-)

A: In the interests of diversity ;-) www.kanbantool.com has just launched too. It's open beta and seems at first glance even more "lightweight" than agilezen.

A: Target process is good too

A: We've been using JIRA with Greenhopper for a few months, in an effort to go agile. I use it for both Scrum for development, as well as for my personal kanban. The software is pretty flexible, and I'm going to keep with it. The story/subtask management is really handy, and it's fairly easy to use. One thing I like is that you can add stories/cards quickly, and can customize the data. This allowed me to add definition of done fields, work order numbers, etc.
In short, we're happy with it.

A: Bright Green have just launched a free version of their tool.  It looks good .. the free version is fully functional too: https://signup.brightgreenprojects.com/plan/Free

A: I've tried out another kanban product for personal use and am absolutely loving this one. Feels lightweight and simple but actually packs in a fair amount of functionality at the same time.
www.kanbanery.com (free for personal use)

A: A novel tool not mentioned before is getsmartQ (out of beta since Dec 2010)
Key characteristics: very intuitive, supports LWP, customizable forms, and task discussions
Pros

*

*configurable workflow, mark overdue stories, mail notifications (e.g., for upcoming story deadlines), multiple story owners

*Stories form completely customizable, per project workflow and story forms, different roles (people only creating stories)

*very responsive GUI with partial updates

*Apparently good support: I've asked a question and got a good answer within a few hours

Cons

*

*no easy way to declare something as blocked or to distinguish type (feature/bug/..)

*no API

*no subtasks or story dependencies

In comparison to Agilezen it has a more sophisticated notification system, but apart from that still lacks important features (see cons above).
Note, getsmartQ is under active development and hence missing features mentioned above may have been implemented in the meantime.

Young Goodman Brown
What Romantic elements can be compared in "Young Goodman Brown" and "The Tell-Tale Heart"?
accessteacher | Certified Educator
write13,728 answers
These are two excellent works to compare whilst focusing on Romanticism and to help you I have added the links to the enotes study guide for both of them below.
It is important to remember that the Romanticism that Hawthorne and Poe ascribed to was slightly different from that of Emerson and Thoreau. Hawthorne and Poe were "Dark Romantics," which referred to the way in which they focused on the mystical and melancholy aspects of Puritan thought. The focus of the literature produced by such Dark Romantics was the conflict between good and evil, the psychological effects of guilt and sin, and madness in the human psyche. Dark Romantics really tried to expose the sinful human nature that lies behind our respectable social masks.
Thus it is that "Young Goodman Brown" is all about the way in which fine, upstanding members of the community of which Goodman Brown is a part are shown to have a relationship with the Devil. Even the deacon and the pastor are not immune from this, and of course, the story at its climax suggests that Faith, Goodman Brown's young youthful and loving wife, herself has a relationship with the Devil. Thus Hawthorne suggests that there is an evil side to all of us, and Goodman Brown is left a crushed individual as a result.
In "The Tell-Tale Heart," Poe explores the human psyche by focusing on a narrator who is clearly insane, in spite of his protestations to the contrary. Yet through his narrative Poe presents us with an incredible picture of insanity and evil as the narrator kills a man for the most ridiculous of reasons, and then, it is suggested, is compelled to reveal himself because of the guilt he feels.

Ljubomir Ljubojević, cyr. Љубомир Љубојевић (ur. 2 listopada 1950 w Užicach) – serbski szachista, arcymistrz od 1971 roku.

Kariera szachowa

W drugiej połowie lat 70. i w latach 80. XX wieku notowany był w pierwszej dziesiątce na świecie. Międzynarodową karierę rozpoczął w 1970 r., zdobywając w Groningen wicemistrzostwo Europy juniorów. Wielokrotnie brał udział w silnie obsadzonych turniejach, w wielu z nich zwyciężając, m.in.:

 1970 – Sarajewo (I-II, turniej Bosna), Čačak (I-II)
 1971 – Palma de Mallorca (I-II), Vrnjačka Banja (II)
 1972 – Caorle (I-II), Thornaby (II)
 1973 – Manila (II)
 1974 – Las Palmas (I), Orense (I)
 1975 – Las Palmas (I), Manila (I), Amsterdam (I, turniej IBM)
 1976 – Wijk aan Zee (I-II)
 1978 – Užice (I), Praicha de Rocha (I)
 1979 – São Paulo (I-II), Buenos Aires (I-II)
 1980 – Puerto Madryn (I-II)
 1981 – Brasília (I), Buenos Aires (I-V)
 1982 – Vrbas (I), Bugojno (II-III)
 1983 – Tilburg (II-III)
 1985 – Linares (I-II)
 1986 – Amsterdam (I), Tilburg (II), Wijk aan Zee (II-IV), Bugojno (II-III), Reggio Emilia (I-III)
 1987 – Belgrad (I), Bruksela (I-II)
 1988 – Viña del Mar (I), Bruksela (III)
 1989 – Barcelona (I-II), Linares (III)
 1994 – León (II)

W latach 1993–2003 jedenastokrotnie uczestniczył w turniejach Melody Amber w Monako.

Pomimo wielu udanych występów, nie udało mu się nigdy awansować do grona pretendentów do tytułu mistrza świata. Siedmiokrotnie wystąpił w turniejach międzystrefowych, jednakże bez powodzenia (najbliżej awansu był Manili w roku 1976, zajmując VI miejsce). W roku 1984 wystąpił na IV szachownicy w meczu ZSRR - Reszta świata.

Wielokrotnie reprezentował Jugosławię w turniejach drużynowych, m.in.:
 ; pięciokrotny medalista: wspólnie z drużyną – srebrny (1974) i dwukrotnie brązowy (1972, 1980) oraz indywidualnie – złoty (1972 – na III szachownicy) i brązowy (1982 – na I szachownicy),
 ; dwukrotny medalista: wspólnie z drużyną – srebrny (1989) oraz indywidualnie – brązowy (1989 – na I szachownicy),
 ; pięciokrotny medalista: wspólnie z drużyną – dwukrotnie srebrny (1973, 1983) i brązowy (1977) oraz indywidualnie – złoty (1973 – na III szachownicy) i brązowy (1983 – na I szachownicy,
 ; medalista: wspólnie z drużyną – srebrny (1969),
 ; wielokrotny medalista, w tym wspólnie z drużyną – trzykrotnie złoty (1972, 1978, 1981) i trzykrotnie brązowy (1971, 1973, 1974).

Najwyższy ranking w karierze osiągnął 1 stycznia 1983 r., z wynikiem 2645 punktów zajmował wówczas 3. miejsce (za Anatolijem Karpowem i Garrim Kasparowem) na światowej liście FIDE.

An insider's guide to New York City
I <3 NY
Text: Raia Gomez
Image: Cover image by Getty Images; Other images courtesy of respective establishments unless otherwise stated
The Big Apple dazzles with plenty to discover
New York City is often referred to as the city that never sleeps, and rightfully so. Immortalised in song and celebrated innumerable times on the big screen, so much has been said about this iconic city, yet no one tribute has managed to adequately depict the true energy, creativity, and dynamism that runs right through the very heart of it. From the polished Upper East Side to the gritty downtown, each neighborhood in this urban island is teeming with its own unique personality. There's always something new to discover that makes New York City a cultural, gastronomic, and sartorial playground unlike any other.
The New York EDITION
Located in the historic clock tower overlooking Madison Square Park is the New York edition of well, The Edition Hotel. Hotelier Ian Shrager has successfully brought old-world luxury into the modern era, marrying traditional refinement with contemporary amenities amidst chic, sophisticated interiors. Fusing old with new, a striking sculptural grand staircase of lacquered steel lies inside what was once the tallest building in New York. Beyond the hotel's plush space affording floor-to-ceiling views of the city, what I like about it is its central location. The New York Edition is a stone's throw away from Chelsea, Union Square, the Meatpacking District, and Greenwich Village. The moment you step out of its doors, you'll find yourself within walking distance of the city's best restaurants and shops.
Baccarat Hotel & Residences
If you ever wanted to live in a glass or crystal house, this may be the closest you'll get to it — right in the heart of Manhattan, no less. The Baccarat Hotel & Residences, the first hotel and global flagship for the historic crystal maker, offers nothing less than the luxurious amenities you'd expect from a legendary brand. From its glass façade to the mesmerising crystal chandeliers and figurines strewn throughout its interiors, the hotel itself is such a visual delight. Take a break from a museum visit (the Museum of Modern Art is sited right across from the hotel) and shopping (5th Avenue is a few steps away) and treat yourself to the hotel's Spa de La Mer, the skincare brand's first spa in the United States. I personally prefer enjoying a drink or two from one of the 15,000 pieces of Baccarat stemware at the hotel's Grand Salon.
If you're like my grandfather, who'd say that he eats with his eyes, then dinner in Atera is a must for you. Venture a little further downtown and block off a generous portion of your evening to enjoy the gastronomical delights created by Chef Ronny Emborg and his team. Atera offers not only a feast for the taste buds, but one for the eyes as well. Each dish is a work of art, masterfully executed using only the finest seasonal ingredients, each meticulously selected by culinary artisans.
The Spotted Pig
Hailed as New York's first gastropub when it opened in 2004, The Spotted Pig is a local favourite that has become almost as famous as the celebrity diners who frequent it for its British and Italian cuisine. In a city filled with famed restaurants and a notoriously short tolerance for dining establishments that don't quite hit the mark, the 12-year-old restaurant has certainly earned its loyal following. Chef April Bloomfield has gained numerous accolades for her seasonal menu, including a Michelin star that the restaurant has held for 11 years in a row. Don't let The Spotted Pig's no-reservations policy deter you. It's definitely worth waiting for a table at this three-story joint in the West Village.
Please Don't Tell
Decades have passed since the prohibition era, but the speakeasy scene is still well and truly alive. These hidden bars have been secretly sprouting all over the world and New York has been a forerunner in the movement. I've walked through dingy looking back alleys and coffee shops to find some of the best cocktails in New York. One of the most popular speakeasies in the city is ironically named Please Don't Tell, but fans of the well-known bar clearly find it hard to keep their lips sealed. Here's a tip: Walk through popular hotdog joint Crif Dogs and enter the vintage phone booth to find yourself in an intimate bar decked with only six tables. Here, you'll get to knock back classic cocktails with a twist — all enjoyed with hotdogs from its equally popular neighbour.
What I love about Santina is how it transports you out of the Meatpacking District, right underneath the High Line park to be exact, and straight to the Italian Riviera. Cute, colourful, scallop-edged umbrellas line the restaurant on the outside. Step within its glass walls and into a charming scene of vibrant multi-colored chandeliers, sea blue sofas, and potted plants. This coastal Italian restaurant in NYC was created by Major Food Group forces, Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick, with a menu focused on seafood and vegetables. It's also a great brunch spot for light dishes that are heavy on flavour.
Of all the neighborhoods in NYC, the Meatpacking District is one that draws both locals and tourists alike. Slip on a pair of flats and walk by an endless stream of specialty shops, landmark establishments, must-try restaurants and outdoor bars. My favourite spots? Top of the Standard, Gilded Lily, No.8, and Tao.
Just last year, the Whitney Museum moved from its Upper East Side address to a new, modern residence in the vibrant Meatpacking District. The Whitney's new home, named the Leonard A. Lauder Building and designed by architect Renzo Piano, was conceived as a laboratory for artists with both indoor and outdoor galleries and beautiful views of the High Line, lower Manhattan, and Hudson River.
In the year since it opened its new doors, the museum has already had over a million visitors who come to view some of the best American art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The new building not only serves as a great cultural addition to the surrounding neighborhood, but incorporates the urban landscape as a striking visual backdrop. Step out onto the museum's spacious terraces to enjoy mesmerising views of the Manhattan sunset.
There's not a single boring moment to be spent in the Big Apple. Broadway plays, concerts, sporting events and stand-up comedy shows are just a few of the many entertainment options to choose from. But if you're looking for a completely different experience, Sleep No More is the answer. Punchdrunk, pioneers in the production of the immersive theater experience, have designed a show that brings life-like experience in a dream-like setting, In their radical staging of Macbeth, audience members don masks (and a veil of anonymity), and are given free reign to decide what to watch and where to go as they embark on a non-linear journey through performance installations. As Felix Barrett, founder and artistic director of Punchdrunk describes it, Sleep No More is a visceral experience for both the mind and the body, with each audience member experiencing the show in a completely unique way.

'Why I chose to go to therapy' — as told by 4 millennials


Ready to look at purchasing your first car?
Firstly, congratulations! One of the best things about passing your driving test is being able to buy your first car and get out on the road by yourself – it's a fantastic feeling of independence.
However, if you've never bought a car before, you may be feeling a little daunted at the prospect. There's a lot to take into account, and you're bound to have heard stories about dodgy dealers – but the fact is that if you do your research and know what you're looking for, they won't be able to pull the wool over your eyes.
As a newly-qualified driver, your insurance is going to be a pretty big part of your motoring budget – possibly more than the car itself. There's no point blowing every penny you've saved on a great car only to find that you can't afford the insurance, so make sure that you get an insurance quote before any money changes hands for the vehicle.
If you want cheap insurance, you'll have to stay away from high performance vehicles – sorry, no Ferraris – as well as rare cars where the parts will cost more, and high-value cars. You should also be looking for cars with good security features.
Check reviews of different makes and models before you go and look at them – this will give you a good idea of how reliable they're likely to be. When it comes to the individual car, you can look at things like the mileage as a start – the higher it is, the less life it's likely to have left in it.
It's a good idea to get a proper vehicle inspection – or if you're lucky enough to know a good mechanic you should get them to have a look at it first. This will highlight any issues that the car has, so that you can make an offer accordingly.
One thing that many new drivers underestimate is the total cost of running a car – between the insurance, tax, maintenance, and fuel, it can all add up surprisingly quickly. Getting a good, efficient car will help you to keep the costs down, so find out how many miles you're likely to get to the gallon.
If anything bad should happen, you want to know that your car is as safe as possible. So long as you're not buying a really old car, you should be able to consult Euro NCAP safety ratings for some good guidance on how safe the car you're looking at really is.
The main features that you'll want to look for are air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control and crumple zones – not all cars will have all of these, but the more safety features you have, the better.
Yes, there are dodgy dealers out there who will try to sell stolen cars, written off vehicles, and ones with outstanding loans. You want to steer well clear of these – if you buy a stolen car, it can be taken off you and given back to the original owner, and you'll get no compensation, even if you didn't know it was dodgy. Cars with outstanding loans can similarly be taken back by the finance company.
The Citizen's Advice Bureau offers a detailed guide on how to check your dream car's history. You can also protect yourself by sticking to reputable dealers – ask your family and friends for recommendations.
Ideally, you'll want to pass your test before you buy your first car, so that you can take it for a test drive yourself and be sure that it suits you. Alternatively, if you want to have it waiting for you, you could get a family member to take it for a test drive and go along with them as a passenger. Pay attention to the sound of the engine, the smoothness of the suspension and gear changes, and whether things like the radio work.
Make sure that you're insured for the test drive first, though – dealerships will usually be covered, but if you're buying privately then the seller will need to have fully comprehensive insurance and give you permission to drive the vehicle, otherwise any accident could get expensive.
By taking all these factors into account – and asking for expert help if you're unsure – you'll be able to get a great first car to enjoy your freedom and independence.
If you're looking for driving schools in Leicester, here at Awards Driving School we have a team of expert instructors who can give you the tuition and support you need to pass your test and enjoy driving not only that first car, but every one that comes after it, too. For more information, contact us online or call us on Free Phone 0800 955 3800.
