There's a Disturbing Spike in Violence Against Puerto Rico's LGBTQ Community
In the last few months, Puerto Rico's LGBTQ community has experienced a disturbing spike of violent acts, raising serious concerns that the island's current government is not doing enough. For this episode of Latino Rebels Radio, host Julio Ricardo Varela welcomes human rights activist Pedro Julio Serrano to discuss.

Pro Tour Happening Now: Live video coverage of Pro Tour 25th Anniversary and the Silver Showcase is hosted on twitch.tv/magic. It began yesterday (Thursday, August 1st) at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET/9 p.m. UTC. Coverage is here.
· the problems getting cards from other sets (e.g. Battlebond) into MTGO.
· New ways to play, including Brawl and the Cube Spotlight Series.
· CHAOS DRAFTS! Phantom drafts where every pack is randomly chosen from any MTGO set.
· Working on being able to implement B&R Changes without a downtime.
· Redesign of the Play Lobby coming.
The article is here. I discuss this further in the Opinion Section.
Battlebond and Commander 2018 Cards Coming: The cards from those paper sets will be released online – but not soon. Most, but not all, of the Battlebond cards will appear in Treasure Chests starting in mid October. Commander 2018 cards will appear in December. The commander 2018 decklists are here.
Paper Black Lotus Sells for $87k: Black Bordered Power Nine is expensive stuff. Lots of discussions about this. A lot of interesting discussions and reaction articles have appeared. One example: The discussion on the Major Spoilers channel, which is mainly a comic book and D&D channel, talked about this here. The panelists included a non-magic player who didn't get it, an old time player and one current player. They discuss Magic and collectibles.
Chris Kiritz published his Magic Online Mid-Year Update. He covered number of topics; I'll discuss most of them.
The Update started by discussing the success Wizards has had in getting new sets onto MTGO quickly. Four years ago, and for as long as MTGO existed before that, new sets didn't appear on MTGO until a couple weeks after the paper release. That was after the paper release – not prerelease. Now we have new sets appearing on MTGO the Friday before the paper prerelease. That's a huge improvement over what we used to have, and Wizards deserves a lot of credit for that achievement.
Chris also noted that the faster release schedule does tax the MTGO team's resources, and this has resulted in delays in getting cards from other sets (e.g. Battlebond and Commander sets) into MTGO. It's a resources thing, but Wizards has announced that they will be doing some triaging: the more important cards will be coded first. That helps, provided they guess correctly on which cards will see Legacy and Vintage play.
The article also sites new ways to play, including Brawl and the Cube Spotlight Series. It seems that Wizards has fixed Brawl – at least for multiplayer. I see a lot of Brawl being played between rounds at our local FNMs. Online 1v1 is slightly more problematic, but banning Baral seems to have helped.
In limited, Wizards is continuing the Cube Spotlight series, with a variety of new and innovative Cubes. The next one will be online in two weeks. Wizards calls it the [REDACTED] Cube. Seriously – two weeks from launch and you won't tell us the name? I have, in the past, arranged to have days off to play in online prereleases and various special formats. I sometimes do that when Guild Wars 2 releases new content. However, my boss prefers that we submit leave requests at least two weeks in advance. If Wizards can't even give us the name two weeks in advance, I guess I'll be saving my vacation, and dollars, for events on other games.
Chris Kiritz also announced that MTGO will bring us CHAOS DRAFTS! (He specified that the name should be in all caps, and have the exclamation point: CHAOS DRAFT!) CHAOS DRAFT! will use boosters chosen at random from all draftable MTGO sets, meaning you could open a Mirage booster for pack one, an M9 booster for pack two, and a MED2 booster as your pack three. All your opponents will be opening similarly bizarre mix of boosters. These drafts will be phantom, which I don't understand. Personally, I would want the cards, but maybe I'm just not the target audience.
The article also showed a graph showing the reduction in downtimes. Again, years ago we had multi-hour downtimes every week. Now we are down to once a month or so, and dropping. More importantly, Wizards is working on being able to implement changes to B&R lists without a downtime. That's good.
Wizards is also looking to upgrade the Play lobby to make it more graphical and modern. It does look a little dated.
Overall, this was a pretty good year so far.
Standard: The GPs were limited, but we had an SCG Classic in Indianapolis last weekend. The Top 16 was fairly diverse. The winning deck, and the eight place deck, and the twelfth place deck, were Zombies. Who knew?
Pauper: Lots of blue in the Pauper Challenge again last weekend. So here you go – sometime we have to admit to what is right in front of us.
Legacy: The format has adjusted to the elimination of the Deathrite Shaman. Leovold is almost worthless, and the UBx control decks are no longer four colors.
Standard Staples: Standard prices are back to a normal level of fluctuation and churn this week. The downward trend from the pre-M19 era seems to have halted.
Modern staples: Modern prices were mixed again this week, but seem normal. What does not seem normal is that Tarmogoyf may fall off the table. It was over $100 not that long ago.
Legacy and Vintage: I have added a couple cards to the list. Containment Priest is still fluctuating, while Brightling and Arcane Artisan are falling fast as people open more Treasure Chests.
The following is a list of all the non-promo, non-foil cards on MTGO that retail for more than $25 per card. These are the big ticket items in the world of MTGO. The list is pretty stable.
The big number is the retail price of a playset (4 copies) of every card available on MTGO. Assuming you bought the least expensive versions available, the cost of owning a playset of every card on MTGO is approximately $ 17,315. That's up about $45 from last week.
I will be in Overland Park, Kansas this weekend, for a non-Magic event. However, I should be able to get some free time. I'll have to look for a local FNM, or just take my laptop.
If you are having a tough moment, consider clicking this link, because Tress! And Milk! It's just 48 seconds long.
Your data is all wrong. Its current price is 200% of what is in the table and MM15 Goyfs have never been $80 and MM17 has never been $60. So I guess if you want to call 14 not that long ago.
I quite like the Standard Zombies deck. I have been running a version of it in Standard Friendly Leagues and am having a nice time with it.

Q: Initially set a HTML Column to be sorted UPDATE: I would also like for ascending/descending arrow keys to appear appropriately next to the header that is clicked to show the current sorted order.  I already made the images in paint and made sure they were like 12 x 10 pixels.
I have done a lot of searching and it seems that without downloading a file it can't be done.  I'd like to use the code I currently have to somehow intially have my HTML table sorted by a certain column's values that are dynamically populated from a private server.
I am using Knockoutjs for all the data-bindings.
The sorting works fine when I click on the column's header.  It currently puts it in ascending/descending order every other click (click once: descending, click again: ascending, click again: descending........).  I want to get the table populated initially with the TimeObserved info already sorted in descending order with the code I already have (if possible).  Any help is appreciated.
PLEASE NOTE: I am rather new to all this and I know from personnal experience that someone will probably ask to put it into jsfiddle.  I'm not used to jsfiddle and am busy at work.  Please understand that I don't have the time right now to convert it into that kind of format and that the codes provided should be more than informative and organized to read and understand.  Thank you.
Here's the code snippets needed for this:
HTML file:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

        TimeObserved

        <input data-bind="value: TimeObserved" />

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Heres the javascript viewmodel file:
==================================================================================
function Event(TimeObserved){
    var self = this;
    self.TimeObserved = TimeObserved;
}

function TableViewModel(){
    var self = this;
    self.sortColumn = "TimeObserved";
    self.sortAscending = true;

    self.SortByTimeObserved(){
        if(self.sortColumn == "TimeObserved")
            self.sortAscending = !self.sortAscending;
        else{
            self.sortColumn = "TimeObservable";
            self.sortAscending = true;
        }
        self.rows.sort(function(a,b){
            if(self.sortAscending == true)
                for(self.TimeObserved in self.rows)
                    return a.TimeObserved > b.TimeObserved ? -1 : 1;
             else
                 return a.TimeObserved < b.TimeObserved ? -1 : 1;
        });
    }
}

this.Model = new TableViewModel;
ko.applyBindings(this.Model);

==================================================================================

A: Take a look at Ko Grid. I bet it will give you what you need:
https://github.com/ericmbarnard/KoGrid

A: Couldnt you just initialize it with some script...
this.Model = new TableViewModel;
this.Model.sortAscending = false;
this.Model.SortByTimeObserved();
ko.applyBindings(this.Model);

A: I solved it.  When I use:
function getEvents(){
    $.getJSON("http://.....",
        function (data){
            $.each(data.d, function (i, item){
                handleEvent(item)
            });
        Model.SortByTimeObserved(); // <----This is what solved the problem
        }
    );
 }

Adding the Model.SortByTimeObservable(); after I populate the handleEvent with the items from the server then orders the TimeObserved in the proper order.  The this.Model.SortByTimeObserved(); at the end of the ViewModel.js file is not needed as it would only put everything in the opposite order.

Monteverdi Vespers – POSTPONED
POSTPONED UNTIL A FUTURE DATE
This coming spring, we will be joined by world renowned, pioneering historic brass ensemble His Majesty's Sagbutts & Cornetts for a performance of Monteverdi's Vespers in the iconic venue of St John's Smith Square
Vespers for the Blessed Virgin, to give it its full title, was originally conceived by Monteverdi as a collection of liturgical works to be used for the evening service of vespers, which were sung in celebration of the Virgin Mary.
Written in 1610 it is unlikely Monteverdi viewed it as a single continuous work. But following the first commercial recording of the Vespers in 1953, this renaissance gem has been recognised as one of the most ambitious choral works written before Bach and is one of the more challenging pieces to perform in the choral repertoire.
Rarely performed by choirs, perhaps due to the unusually large number of tenor parts in Nisi Dominus, this is a wonderful opportunity to hear the work performed by one of London's most ambitious amateur choirs accompanied by the period instruments of the celebrated band His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts.

Q: Bonferroni correction on 7 types of complications and 4 comparisons I am writing a meta-analysis on the complication and reoperation rates after 5 treatment modalities of distal radius fractures. Currently I am doing a post hoc analysis on the differences of 7 types of complications between the 5 treatment modalities seperately(4 comparisons, 4 of the treatments compared to the gold standard). I want to use the conservative Bonferroni correction for the alpha and read the other articles on multiple comparisons and the bonferroni correction. I am just not sure what number to divide the alpha by. Should I divide the alpha(which I set at 0.05) by 4 because of the 4 comparisons or not?

A: Divide your alpha by the total number of hypothesis checks you are about to do in experiment.


We broke up for the summer. Fedka and I were full of plans for spending the holidays. There was lots of work to do.
In the first place, a raft had to be built and launched in the pond adjoining our garden, and we had to proclaim ourselves Mistress of the Seas and give battle to the joint fleet of the Pantushkins and Simakovs guarding the approaches to their orchards on the opposite shore.
We had a small home fleet in the shape of a garden wicket, but it was considerably inferior in battle efficiency to the forces of the enemy, who had half of an old gate serving as a heavy cruiser and a light torpedo boat made out of a log-built trough formerly used to feed the farm animals.
The forces were obviously unequal. And so we decided to increase our naval strength by building a colossal super-dreadnought, the latest word in engineering.
We intended using the logs of the broken-down bath house as material for our construction. To avoid a scolding, I promised Mother that our dreadnought would be built on such lines that it could always be used as a platform for rinsing the washing.
On the opposite shore, the enemy, noticing our rearmament activities, became alarmed and started building too, but our intelligence reported that the enemy was no serious match for us in this respect owing to lack of building materials. Their attempt to pinch some planks in the yard, which were intended for weather-boarding the barn, was a failure. The domestic council disapproved of such unauthorised use of material earmarked for other purposes, and the enemy's admirals—Senka Pantushkin and Grishka Simakov—got a sound thrashing from their fathers.
We spent several days messing about with those logs. Building a dreadnought was no easy job. It demanded a lot of money and time, and as it happened Fedka and I had hit a bad patch just then. We spent over fifty kopeks on nails alone, and we still had to buy rope for the anchor and material for the flag.
To raise the necessary funds we had to resort to a secret loan of seventy kopeks on the security of two text-books on religion, a German grammar and a Russian reader.
But then our dreadnought, when completed, was a beauty. We launched her late in the afternoon. Timka Shtukin and Yashka Zukkerstein gave a hand with the launching. All the bootmaker's kids, my sister and the little watchdog Volchok, alias Sharik, alias Zhuchka, acted as spectators. The raft, creaking and groaning, dropped into the water with a heavy splash. Amid loud cheers and the firing of toy pistols the ship's flag was hoisted to the mast.
Our flag was a black one with red edging and a blue circle in the middle.
Fluttering in the warm breeze, it made a brave display as we weighed anchor and shoved off.
It was getting near sundown. One could hear the distant tinkle of the bells of the homecoming herd of goats, of which Arzamas had countless numbers.
The dreadnought was manned by me and Fedka. Behind us, at a respectable distance, sailed our little wicket gate, serving as a dispatch boat.
Our squadron, fully aware of its strength, sailed out into the middle of the pond and cruised down the enemy shore. In vain did we challenge the enemy by means of speaking trumpet and signals—he refused to accept battle and hid shamefully in the bay under a half-rotten bough. In a fit of impotent fury the coastal artillery opened fire upon our ships, but we immediately placed ourselves out of range of the enemy's guns and coolly put into harbour without suffering any damage, not counting a slight shock caused by a potato which hit Yashka Zukkerstein in the back.
"O-ho-ho!" we shouted as we sailed away. "You haven't got the guts to come out and fight!"
"You wait! We'll come out all right. You needn't boast. You can't frighten us."
"Tell it to the marines! Fraidy-cats, that's what you are!"
We safely entered harbour, cast anchor, and, making our rafts fast by chains, jumped ashore.
That evening Fedka and I very nearly quarrelled. We hadn't made arrangements beforehand who was to command the fleet. My suggestion that Fedka should command the dispatch boat was turned down with a scornful spit. So then I offered him, in addition, to be captain of the dockyard, chief of the coastal artillery and chief of the air force, as soon as we got one. But not even the post of air force chief tempted Fedka, who insisted on being admiral, otherwise he threatened to go over to the enemy.
Not wishing to lose a valuable assistant, I finally gave in and suggested we should be admirals in turn—one day he, the next I.
We made two bows, provided ourselves with a dozen arrows and went off into the wood. We had a stock of several "frogs". A "frog" was a tube of rolled up paper laced tight with a bit of string and stuffed with a mixture of potassium chlorate and ground charcoal. We tied the "frog" to the end of the arrow and lighted the fuse. The arrow shot up into the sky and the "frog" exploded high in the air, darting about in fiery zigzags and frightening all the jackdaws and crows.
The copse adjoined the cemetery. It was densely-wooded, pitted with holes and covered with small ponds. Yellow water-lilies, buttercups and ferns grew in the shady green glades.
Having played to our heart's content, we clambered over the wall and found ourselves in a remote corner of the cemetery. The stillness, broken only by the twitter of birds concealed in the foliage, had a soothing effect upon us after the excitement of play. We spoke in low tones as we made our way through a patch of waste land, passing burial mounds, which sometimes barely rose above the ground.
"Look," I said to Fedka, "we'll come to soldiers' graves in a minute round the corner. Last week they buried Semyon Kozhevnikov here from the hospital. I remember Kozhevnikov very well, Fedka. Long before the war, when I was still a little boy, he used to come to my father. Once he gave me a piece of elastic for a slingshot. Good elastic it was. Only my mother threw it in the fire afterwards, when the Basyugins got one of their windows smashed by a stone. She blamed me for it."
"What if I did? It had to be proved, but no one saw me do it. It was just bare suspicion. D'you call that fair? Say it hadn't been me who smashed that window—I'd be blamed all the same?"
"You would," Fedka concurred. "Mothers are all alike. They'll never touch a girl's things, but if they catch a boy playing with anything they'll chuck it out. My mother broke two of my arrows with nails in them and afterwards took the rat out of the trap. Once it was still worse. I unscrewed an empty knob—you know, one of those gadgets they adorn beds with. Mother had gone to church. I sat there, got out some saltpetre and charcoal. I'll fill that knob with gun-powder, I says to myself, and then I'll go out into the wood and make an explosion. I was so busy at it that I didn't notice Mother come up behind me. 'What did you unscrew that knob for?' she says. 'Oh, you devil! And I was wondering where that knob could have got to.' And she fetched me one over the ear. Luckily, Father took my part. 'What did you take the knob for?' he asks. 'Can't you see?' I says. 'I'm making a bomb.' He frowned. 'Drop that,' he says, 'don't lark about with such things. How do you like that terrorist!' But he laughed and patted me on the head."
"Fedka," I said calmly, "I know what a terrorist is. It's one of those who throw bombs at the police and who go against the rich. What are we, Fedka, poor or rich?"
"In-between," Fedka answered after a thoughtful pause. "I wouldn't say we're very poor. Since Father got a job we have dinner every day, and on Sunday Mother makes a pie and sometimes stewed fruit. I'm terribly fond of stewed fruit. Aren't you?"
"So am I. But I like apple-jelly better. I think we're somewhere in-between too. Look at the Bebeshins—they own a whole factory. I went to their home once to see their Vaska. The number of servants and lackeys they have! And Vaska's father gave him a real live horse for a present—a pony they call it."
"They've got everything, of course," Fedka concurred. "They've got tons of money. The merchant Sinyugin built a tower over his house and put a telescope in. A whopper! When he's fed up with things on earth he goes to his tower, and they bring him snacks there, and a bottle. . . . And he sits there all night, looking at the stars and planets. The other day, though, he had a drinking party there with his pals, and they say some glass or other got broken after the observations, and now there's nothing to see any more."
"Fedka, why is it that Sinyugin has all the enjoyment, what with the stars and the planets, while others get nix? Take Sigov, who works at his factory—he has nothing to eat, let alone gazing at the planets. Yesterday he came downstairs to borrow fifty kopeks from the bootmaker."
"How do I know? Don't ask me. Ask the teacher or the clergyman."
"Father said everything will soon change the other way."
"Everything. I haven't got this straight myself yet, Borya. I was supposed to be sleeping but I only made as if I was. Father was talking to the factory watchman about strikes starting again, like in nineteen 'five. You know what happened in nineteen 'five?"
"I do, but not quite," I answered, reddening.
"There was a revolution. Only it failed. The idea was to turn out the landowners, give all the land to the peasants and take everything from the rich for the poor. You know, I heard all this from their conversation."
Fedka fell silent. And again I felt rattled that Fedka knew more than I did. I could get to know it, too, but there was no one to get it from. There was nothing about this in books. And no one talked to me about these things.
"Mamma, tell me something about nineteen 'five. Why do parents speak to other boys about it? Fedka knows so many interesting things, but I never know anything."
My mother turned round quickly with a frown. She looked as if she was going to scold me, but changed her mind and eyed me curiously as if she were seeing me for the first time.
"Nineteen 'five? What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about. Look how big and strong you are. You must have been quite grownup at the time, but I was only a year old, and I don't remember anything."
"What can I tell you? You should ask your father, he's a great one for telling stories. I had a beast of a time in nineteen 'five through you, you little monkey. You were a holy terror, forever screaming—I didn't have a minute's peace. When you'd start screaming the whole blessed night, I'd forget who I was and what world I lived in."
"Why did I scream, Mamma?" I asked, feeling a little hurt. "Maybe I was frightened? They say there was shooting and Cossacks. Maybe I got scared?"
"Scared your grandmother! You were just a capricious t squalling brat, that's all. You couldn't know what it was to get frightened. One night the gendarmes came to search ' our place. What they were looking for I don't know. They were carrying out regular searches in those days. They turned the place upside down, but didn't find anything. The officer was ever so polite. Tickled you with a finger and you laughed. 'Fine boy you've got there,' he says. He picked you up, sort of playfully, while he winked to the gendarme, who started to search your cradle. And suddenly you began to make water. Goodness gracious, right on that officer's uniform! I snatched you away and thrust a rag at the officer to wipe himself with. Just imagine, a new uniform he had on, and it was all soaking wet, dripped onto his trousers, too, even his sword. You gave him a proper douche, you little rascal!" Mother laughed at the memory.
"You're telling me about something quite different, Ma," I interrupted, now deeply offended. "I asked you about the revolution and you tell me some kind of nonsense—"
"Oh, leave me alone. You're are a nuisance!" Mother said, dismissing the matter.
"I shan't tell you anything. Go and open the lumber-room. There's a big box there with all kinds of junk on top. Underneath them there ought to be a heap of books belonging to your father. Search among them. If he hasn't torn them all up you may find one about nineteen 'five."
"If you get into a jar of jam instead of that box of books, or take down the pot of cream like you did last time, I'll give you such a taste of revolution that you'll never forget it!"
I spent several days in succession reading. I remember, in the first of the two books I had selected I read only three pages. This book, chosen at random, was entitled The Philosophy of Poverty. I could make nothing of this headachy stuff at the time. But the other book—stories by Stepnyak-Kravchinsky—was something I could understand, and I read it right through and reread it a second time.
Everything in these stories was the other way round. The heroes there were people the police were after, and the police sleuths, instead of arousing sympathy, provoked only contempt and indignation. These stories were about revolutionaries. The revolutionaries had their secret organisations and printing plants. They were preparing an uprising against the landowners, merchants and generals. The police fought them and hunted them. The revolutionaries then went to prison or faced the firing squad, while those who remained alive carried on their cause.
This book gripped me, because I had never read anything about revolutionaries before. I was so sorry that this Arzamas of ours was such a one-horse town and one never heard anything about revolutionaries in it. There were burglars—the Tushkovs had their attic with all the washing in it cleaned out; there were gypsy horse-thieves, and even a real robber—Vanka Seledkin, who killed the exciseman, but there were no revolutionaries.

To add flavor with the drippings off meats, use a suction tool like the one pictured here.
It is faster and more efficient than using a spoon or brush.
During the cooking process, especially with fowl and especially the last 15-20 minutes of cooking use the tool to suction up the juices and then to pump the drippings over your meal.
It will make the meal more flavorful.
When I do this I take the entire pan out of the oven, close the oven door, baste the meal thoroughly and then put it back into the hot oven. It is easier and safer to do it this way.
A tool like the one pictured is inexpensive and it has a number of other uses in the kitchen, as well. You can make use of it when extracting water or another liquid or when you are making a gravy or sauce.
If you need one of these, buy one that comes with a cleaning brush.
This is where basting brushes work great. But you should use two of them. One to brush the raw meat or fish or poultry with the sauce.
The other brush is then used to treat the meat during cooking.
This is a sanitation issue.
There will be no contamination problems if you use two different basting brushes.
They come in all sizes and shapes. A 1 1/2 inch brush like the one pictured to the left is good for most jobs.
One downside to using brushes has been that the bristles occasionally get left on whatever is being cooked. The bristles can also melt if you are not careful.
The is a very popular brush. Handsome, too, with its stainless steel handle.
The bristles are designed to release a deliberate, even flow of oil, butter or sauce.
This brush can also be used as a pastry brush but remember to never use one brush for both jobs. Keep your basting brushes separate from your pastry brushes.
For basting at the grill ...the brush to the left is my choice. It is silicone and its long handle is angled to keep your hands away from the heat!
This Elizabeth Karmel Basting Brush is the first-ever long, angled handle tool!
The design and length of the handle makes it easy (and safe) to reach food on the back of the grill.


Kathy Gibson at Huawei Connect in Shanghai – Cern has partnered with Huawei on OpenStack developments, to provide the compute power required for nuclear particle experimentation.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a massive computing challenge, powered by 13 000 servers that produce 10-million collisions per second, and generating 1 petabyte of data per second.
Jan van Eldik, resource provisioning team lead at Cern, explains that Cern as set up to study the fundamental structure of the universe, which it does by conducting large-scale physics experiments.
The 27km long LHC is running four experiments that collect data at an enormous rate, Van Eldik says — up to 9Gbps between them.
This data is sent to the organisation's data centre, where it needs to be stored safely. It is also distributed to a worldwide computer grid where further analysis is carried out, along with processing and analysis by the Cern data centres in Switzerland and Budapest.
The organisation has been running its private OpenStack cloud since 2013, now consisting of 8 500 servers with 280 000 CPU cores, 33 000 virtual machines running 4 700 volumes in 3 600 projects and a wide range of applications, users and service levels.
After a tender process that attracted 21 responses, Cern signed up for T-Systems' Open Cloud, which has been running for a few months.
"Public cloud is attractive to boost resource provisioning," Van Eldik says.


Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) has affected the concrete in drilled shafts (cast in place piles) beneath electricity transmission towers along a 42-mile (67 km) section of transmission line in Southern California. In order to prioritize the maintenance program for these shafts, a nondestructive test methodology was sought to quantify the severity of the AAR with depth in each shaft. Shaft diameters of 19, 30, 36, 42, and 54 inches (475, 760, 910, 1067 and 1660 mm) were present, with shaft lengths between 10 and 30 feet (3 and 6 m). Over the last thirty years, impulse-response (I-R) testing has been successfully used to evaluate the integrity of drilled shafts, and computer simulation programs have also been developed for matching I-R test responses with theoretical shaft shapes and concrete quality. A program to test as many shafts as could be accessed in the difficult, mountainous terrain along this transmission line included mobilization of equipment and testing personnel by helicopter. Two hundred ten shafts were tested along the line in five days. Matching of test response mobility-frequency plots in computer simulation was achieved by varying the simulated concrete modulus and density, as well as the shaft cross section area. Up to three grades of concrete quality were identified in each shaft, representing the decreasing degree of AAR with depth. The tested shafts were then rated for increasing AAR severity, in order to select shafts for repair or replacement.


Migraines are an unpleasant experience no matter the frequency.
Migraines are not fun, but they are an all-too-common reality for many in the U.S. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, 38 million men, women and children across the country are affected by these severe, throbbing headaches. Of these people, more than 90 percent are unable to function normally while in the midst of a migraine.
"Caffeine withdrawals can activate the migraine center of your brain."
If you can't get through the day without multiple cups of coffee, you may be setting yourself up for a caffeine withdrawal down the road. Prevention magazine reported that these withdrawals can activate the migraine center in your brain and trigger the condition. So you can head off a migraine before it even begins by being consistent with your caffeine consumption and limiting yourself to 200 mg a day, which is about two 8-ounce cups.
However, once a migraine begins, the solution may actually be more caffeine. According to the American Migraine Foundation, caffeine does seem to provide some pain relief, but should be used moderately. If you treat your headaches this way more than twice a week, you may develop a dependency that can actually exacerbate the condition.
Everyone has those days when there's just not enough time to get everything done and eating slips to the back burner. But if you get migraines regularly, try to be intentional about eating consistently. Skipping meals can increase the risk of this condition, according to Mayo Clinic.
Cooked yellow, green or orange vegetables.
Dried or cooked non-citrus fruits.
Cherries, prunes, cranberries and pears.
Citrus fruits, apples and bananas.
When you feel a migraine coming on, try to head it off by creating a calm environment. Go into your bedroom, shut the door, pull the blinds and turn off the lights. Because migraines can make you more sensitive to light and sound, eliminating these environmental factors can make the experience more bearable.
Applying a cold compress on your head or neck may also help provide relief. Or you can try relaxing your muscles with a hot bath or shower for a similar effect.
Retreating to a quiet, dark room may help relieve some of the pain you experience during a migraine.
Alcoholic and or caffeinated beverages.
Environmental changes, such as barometric pressure.
Once you identify your triggers, learning how to avoid – or at least manage – them can help reduce your symptoms or potentially avoid migraines altogether.
"Whether you're in the midst of a migraine or trying to prevent one, stress management is critical."
Whether you're in the midst of a migraine or trying to prevent one from occurring in the first place, stress management is critical. As previously mentioned, a hot bath or shower is a good way to both relax your muscles and relieve any emotional stress you may be feeling.
Of course, when you're in pain, stress management may be easier said than done – especially if your migraine is preventing you from working or taking care of other commitments. If you suffer migraines regularly, think ahead so that you have a plan in place before a migraine strikes. That might mean arranging for an emergency babysitter who can take the kids with little notice, or talking with your manager about how you'll make up any work that you miss. Taking care of these details in advance will take a lot of the stress out of the situation.
When a migraine hits, find relief with the Intellinetix® Vibrating Pain Relief Mask. This rechargeable mask features small, vibrating motors that help block the pain signals sent to your brain during a headache. Made of soft, breathable cotton with massaging ergoBeads, this product has been designed with your ultimate comfort in mind. Order one online at Amazon.com today.


Phu Quoc pepper is renowned for being the tastiest spice produced in Vietnam. Many Vietnamese dishes use it for a flavourful experience!
Pepper is, together with fish sauce and pearls, the main produce of Phu Quoc Island. And it's delicious. We have visited a pepper farm on the island and purchased some really nice pepper.
Searching for one of these pepper farms that are supposed to be open to the public, my pal and I were riding around the general area, however unsuccessful. Now - at least I was quite successful in capturing some of my best images from Phu Quoc Island, but pepper farms? Nope.
So we decided to approach one of the "normal" pepper farms that line the street and are not open for visitor. However, the farmer's family was happy about the unexpected guests and we got quite some information about seasons, the harvest and where to actually buy the fragrant spice.
They indicated a shop down the road, and there we got our pepper. I also saw huge plastic containers with snake wine, one of the rather odd specialities you can get all over Vietnam.
The family also had two dogs. They were not pure bred Phu Quoc ridgebacks, but showed some of the most prominent criteria of Vietnam's only native dog breed.
Black pepper or Pipera nigrum is originally native to the south of India, but you can find plantations all over the tropical regions of the world. Vietnam is at the moment the biggest exporter of black pepper in the world, producing 34% of the entire pepper crop as of 2013.
Pepper is grown in many regions of Vietnam, mainly Dong Nai province and the South. Some of the best pepper you can find in Vietnam comes from Phu Quoc Island though. Mostly because the soil is more suitable for the plants, which in turn reduces the excessive usage of agrochemicals. Current development plans envision organic pepper production on the island, but it is hard to pull through and even harder to control, so that plan may take some time yet.
Pepper plants love mineral rich soil and that explains why most pepper farms are found in the northern region of the island near the mountains and Phu Quoc National Park. The data must be from around 2013, so slightly outdated, but it indicates 400 hectares of farmland dedicated to black pepper produce an annual crop of 1000 tons of high quality pepper. The main villages connected to pepper production are Cửa Dương, Gành Dầu, Cua Can, and Thom.
During dry season each year, the pepper gets harvested by hand, sorted, destemmed and dried in the sunshine. Due to this personal care of the people tending their crop, Phu Quoc pepper can almost rival the quality of Kampot pepper from nearby Cambodia and fetch a premium price on international markets. The government apparently plans to increase the farmland dedicated to pepper production on the island to 500 ha by 2020 and also implement organic and sustainable farming methods to comply to international GAP standards. Together with a drive to turn Phu Quoc Pepper into a brand in its own right, it may or may not reach serious levels of competitiveness.
There are different kinds of pepper available for sale on the local markets and specialised shops. Green, white and black. While green pepper is usually the fresh product and excellent for cooking a seriously fragrant, savoury and peppery sauce that goes very well with dark meat (pepper steak, love it), there are methods to dry pepper while preserving the green colour. Black pepper is the whole peppercorn dried together with skin and pulp. White pepper is skinned and depulped before it's dried and supplies heat to your dish without making it overly peppery like black pepper would. Especially in Austrian cuisine, white pepper is often used in white sauces for aesthetic purposes. Rumour has it that on Phu Quoc you can also find pink and red pepper. However, I was unsuccessful in doing so. Almost 100% of the pepper species used on the island is Pipera niger.


I bulk cook my lunches so that I prepare 2 weeks worth of lunches in one shot. With this, lunches are cheap, delicious, nutritious and easy. Here's how I do it.
2 packages of Lundberg's Country Wild Rice.
A whole bunch of delicious spices like this taco seasoning recipe. Double or triple the amounts since this is bulk cooking.
Cook the rice according to the instructions. Since it's a double batch, I usually do 1 less cup of water.
Once everything is ready, pour it all into a large pot and mix.
Add spices and mix again.
Dish into 10-12 containers and place in the freezer. Done!

The National Day of the People's Republic of China is a symbol of the country, which has come along with the emergence of the country and become particularly important. It became a symbol of an independent country, reflecting the country and its polity.
Once this special commemorative method of the National Day has become a new and universal form of festivals, it will carry the function of reflecting the cohesiveness of this country and nation. Showing the strength of the country, enhancing national confidence, embodying cohesiveness, and exerting its appeal are the three basic characteristics of the National Day celebration.
After the founding of the New People's Republic of China, according to the decision of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the military parade was listed as an important part of the National Day ceremony. The military parade on the National Day celebration was held 11 times between 1949 and 1959 , the 35th anniversary of the 1984 National Day, the 50th anniversary of the National Day in 1999,and the 60th anniversary of the National Day in 2009.
Every National Day in China, all enterprises and institutions will hang lanterns or banners, and celebrate the National Day with slogans such as "Happy National Day"; the bonsai and hydrogen balloon with slogans on the square will greet the National Day with a happy atmosphere.
Since 1999, National Day is the "Golden Week" holiday in mainland China. As of 2014, the notice of the holiday arrangement announced by the General Office of the State Council of China was from October 1st to 7th (total for 7 holidays).
The flag of the People's Republic of China is raised at 6:10 am, on every National Day.
Rcstars will have 5 days holiday for National Day from 29th Sep to 3rd Oct.
If there need any support, please feel free to contact us by email, will give you a feedback once we back to work on 4th Oct.


The "Inocente" refers to a single vineyard in Macharnudo from where all the grapes come from. Unusually for sherry, this wine is fermented in wood. Aged for about 10 years.
Nose: Big, quite full, plenty flor salinity and slight trace of autolysis, light Palomino fruit and a hint of dried flowers, dry with subtle quince notes. Complex and full. Lovely.
Palate: Dry, salty with tangy fruit despite low acidity, fresh yet obviously has some solera age, fuller thany many and quite delicious, flavour lingers on the palate arousing the appetite.

Two Treaties of Messina 1190–1191: Crusading Diplomacy of Richard I
Malý Jan
In the summer of 1190, King Richard I together with King Philip II of France departed on a crusade, which was the reaction to the battle of Hattin and subsequent capture of Jerusalem by Muslim forces. In September 1190, both kings appeared in the Sicilian city of Messina where they were forced to spend winter. Sicily was under the rule of Tancred of Lecce, who seized the throne after the death of King William II of Sicily whose wife was Joanna, sister of King Richard. Tancred held her in his custody and deprived her of her dowry and other possession. This was one of the reasons why Richard I soon fell into conflict with Tancred. He was also at odds with the hostile citizens of Messina who attacked his forces and caused him many troubles. Open war with Tancred's people was interrupted only after the conclusion of the peace treaty on 6 October 1190. Tancred gave Richard 20,000 ounces of gold as compensation of his sister's dowry and the marriage was agreed upon between one of Tancred's daughter and Richard's nephew Arthur, duke of Brittany, whom Richard named his heir. Growing tension between Richard and Philip came to a head when Philip accused Richard of violation of the treaty with Tancred. When Philip's gossip was disproven by Richard himself, Philip was also forced to make a treaty with Richard. The main aim of this treaty was to release Richard from his oath to marry Philip's sister, Alice since he was awaiting a new bride Berengaria of Navarre. This treaty was concluded in March 1191. While the first treaty had an impact on events in England, the second freed Richard's hands regarding his marriage diplomacy.

It's Ladies Night At The Magic Castle
Chris Nichols
Geri Larsen was the "mother" of the Magic Castle. She introduced her sons Bill and Milt to the art, edited Genii magazine, and performed in nightclubs and on television in the 1940's and 50s. Her sons opened the club in 1963 and mom Larsen was a big part of it. The club paid tribute to the late performer last year with a "women in magic" show that has now become an annual event. This year's week of feminine mystique is presided over by Geri's great-granddaughter Liberty Larsen. The 26-year-old is bold and funny and beautiful and her poetic mind-reading act could be a show on its own. The acts running through the weekend are the best from around the world and include another multi-generational act, Luna Shimada plays with fire and seems to invoke spirits from the four corners. Juliana Chen, visiting from China, made it rain playing cards – so many that, I kid you now, I found one in my wallet after I left! Farrah Siegel is good old fashioned vaudevillian showbiz, performing three or four acts at the same time with a Colgate grin. Beware of Sisuepahn from Laos, she gets a little blue. Well, black-and-white era Playboy After Dark blue. The whole club feels like an episode of Playboy After Dark. You never know who is going to drop by and fill your hands with lipstick and little foam balls. Do whatever you need to sneak your way into the private club this weekend, ask advice from the Magic Castle Hotel, flag down club president Neil Patrick Harris… it's a terrific show.

Apple Officially Says Goodbye to the iPod
Tech giant announces that it is discontinuing the beloved machine
The tiny machine that just might have been the most instrumental in helping streaming music thrive is no more. Apple has announced that the company will no longer produce the foundational portable music device more than 20 years after it first debuted. Once the current supply of iPod Touch is sold out, the entire line will be officially retired.
"Music has always been part of our core at Apple," Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said in a statement, "and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impact more than just the music industry — it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to, and shared."
"Today, the spirit of iPod lives on," he continued. "We've integrated an incredible music experience across all of our products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch to HomePod mini, and across Mac, iPad, and Apple TV. And Apple Music delivers industry-leading sound quality with support for spatial audio — there's no better way to enjoy, discover, and experience music."
The iPod went through many iterations after its debut in October 2001. The iPod Touch, Mini, Nano, and Shuffle would be released over the years, though the line would eventually be overshadowed by Apple's iPhone, which combined the iPod's functionality with far more services.

Recently I have been working on zendalas. I love the way a circular tile allows you to tangle in the round.
This tile is known as a Dubz as it has a smaller tile pasted onto the larger one. This allows two different techniques. The inner circle is tan, so Renaissance colors can work best. The outer tile is black so white or in this case gold show up very well.
This tan zendala came out of the Holiday tiles from the Zentange, 12 days of Christmas. Renaisance colors were used , and shaded with white charcoal.

An astrologer told me once that my mothering streak is too strong to not have a child. Since then I've oscillated between excitement and total panic every time I think about looking at my horoscope.
Somehow, I always end up being that adult at gatherings having a tea party with the 4 year old, talking to the 9 year old about the universe, or walking around with the babe in arms singing silly songs about cows. Why? I don't know, blame the stars.
Being the mom-type to a bunch of single 20-somethings admittedly isn't the same as being a mom, but that doesn't stop my curiosity about baby-stuff one bit. What are these little aliens, where do they come from, and most importantly, what do they need to eat to be healthy? (Okay, well, I know that they're not aliens, they're actually just brand new humans with tiny little fingers and we all learn where they come from at a pretty young age, but what about their food?) Not being a mommy, I had to do the research.
And what I found out about commercial baby food is more than harrowing.
As with many food products on the market, the commercial industry has thrown health by the wayside and decided to focus on "the most important thing": the bottom line.
What's in Commercial Baby Food?
It turns out that commercial products are essentially water laced with sodium, sugar, starches (including those that contain gluten), thickening agents, and synthetic vitamins that are hard to absorb. Often, the ingredient advertised on the label makes up less than 10% of the entire jar of baby food. The fruits, veggies, and proteins themselves are often what's called "baby grade." I couldn't find a definitive answer about what that means, but given that genetically modified apples were just approved to be safe for sale in our country, "baby grade" could mean anything.
A lot of baby foods can sit on the shelf for longer than most babies take to mature. That's because all of the ingredients are heated to extremely high temperatures to kill off any and all bacteria in the food, effectively killing the good bacteria that the babies need to populate their little bellies.
What is this madness? Profit.
Evidence shows that what a baby eats in the first stages of life can set the tone for her eating habits throughout her lifetime. With that in mind, what do you think about starting life with food that has little to no nutritional value plus high sugar and sodium content? With childhood obesity, diabetes, leaky gut, gluten intolerances, attention disorders and other (previously rare) developmental issues rising at an alarming rate, I'd say that healthy eating from day one is of the utmost importance.
The good news is making your own baby food is cheaper and healthier than buying the commercial stuff. I reached out to Lisa and Annmarie, our mommies on staff, for their best feeding advice and favorite baby food preparations! Aside from sending me this adorable throwback video from 2009, they both had some great advice for the first year of baby feeding!
What Should You be Feeding, When?
There's a lot of literature out there about when to start feeding solid foods to baby, almost too much. I asked Annmarie for a few reliable sources and she told me that Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, nourishingourchildren.org, simplybeingwell.com are three wonderful resources that she turns to again and again for advice.
Both of the ASC mommies said that breastmilk is the ideal form of nutrients for the first year of a baby's life. When they are sitting up completely on their own and they aren't spitting out everything in their mouth, they're ready to start trying out some solids. For Annmarie, knowing that her baby is getting most of the nutrients from breastmilk lets her have fun with the solid food and make mealtime a positive family experience.
The most important part of introducing foods to baby is to do it early in the day and try each food out alone for 3-5 days just to make sure that they don't have any allergies to the foods they're eating. Of course, you will want to make sure that you feed your baby organic, non GMO foods if you can. Genetically modified foods have been linked to many allergies and progressive health problems so we encourage organics for the new baby tummy.
The number one thing to start with is water— it makes up about 75-80% of baby's body so baby knows it well. Bone broth is full of proteins and minerals, is easily digested, and tastes delightful for baby! Annmarie started with bone broth and is happy that she did!
Introducing fats (like coconut oil and butter), proteins, and veggies into baby diets first is a good way to get them used to the savory food flavors. Babies will always gravitate to sweet foods because breastmilk is very sweet. Fruits are very sweet, so introducing them first could make it difficult to feed savory veggies to the youngins.
Sweet potato is a great starter because it's a little bit sweet and it's a great source of fiber, vitamin B6, and potassium.
Green Beans are very earthy and a wonderful source of vitamins A, B, C, and K and minerals like calcium!
You can do the same thing with many other veggies—carrots, spinach, and beets are all fabulous. Once you know that your baby isn't allergic to more than one of the vegetables you can blend them together and make very special entrees that will give your baby a variety of nutrients.
There are some foods that are good to avoid with baby until after the first year has gone by. Wheat, oats, nuts, soy, fish, honey and cow's milk are all on the list of things to avoid for the first year. They can be allergenic and/or cause problems with baby's digestion. For a more specific list, check out one of the sources that Annmarie mentioned above!
Annmarie also made a note that when you do start feeding grains to your kiddo, it's really good to soak it in lemon juice or kefir first so that it will start the digestion process before baby gets to it.
What are some of your favorite baby food recipes and baby books? Let us know in the comments below!
I also agree with starting with veggies, to avoid baby developing a preference for sweet foods that definitely is VERY hard to turn around later!
And the natural 'raw' baby foods, banana and avocado – such great recommendations. These are easy for us moms and easy on babies' tummies!
P.S. I am loving all of the amazing 'kitchen remedies' on your blog! I will be sharing your tips/articles for sure!
I agree with starting with veggies, once they have lots of fruit it can be hard to switch. When introducing fruit, pear is the least allergenic so best to start with that.

A Model of Firm Growth
Dariusz Leśko
GNPJE 2011;252(11-12):31–45
International statistics show that small firms are the dominant form of business enterprise today. Yet, despite ongoing research into the theory of the firm, there is still no common view on the mechanisms of firm growth. This article aims to stimulate further theoretical and empirical research into firm growth. In the first part of the paper, the author reviews the most seminal theories of the growth of the firm to date, noting that there are two broadly perceived schools of thought within the analysed field. The first approach advocates a more or less stochastic pattern of firm growth. The second research school holds that the resources at the firm's disposal are the differentiators, drivers of, but also limits to, firm growth. In the second part of the paper, based on the literature review and deduction, the author develops an alternative model of firm growth. Building on the properties of the Markovian processes, he shows that it may be because of the seemingly rational behaviour of firm incumbents that most firms do not grow in size beyond some satisfying level. The proposed model of firm growth is equally applicable to firms of all sizes operating in all industries and markets.

Learn the techniques of the Tombs of Terror, the new Hearthstone expansion
The years pass and Hearthstone remains one of the most successful card games in the world. Just a few weeks ago its new expansion was announced, Salvadores de Uldum with many important developments, and his first expansion arrives just today.
Tombs of Terror is available from today September 17 with its single player adventure where we will have to put ourselves in the place of four members of the Expeditionary League to tour ruins, create a personalized mallet and gather powerful treasures in order to prepare to stand up to the forces of EVIL.
New techniques for Tombs of Terror
This new adventure with a few nsomewhat new mechanical mechanicsIn fact, according to Blizzard it is better not to try to understand them.
This adventure is a continuation of a very strange story of the game: back in the expansion Rise of Shadows, Rafaam and the League of Evil robbed Dalaran. Now they brought him to Uldum and unleashed a series of plagues (that is, the new Plague cards in Saviors of Uldum) to destroy the world. I don't understand why the League of Evil wants to destroy the world when before they just wanted to steal, but this is Hearthstone and you just have to understand yourself with the weirdness.
In this adventure, every hero is a combination of two classes, with letters from both. You can choose between:
Reindeer, a magician and pcaro
Elise, a druid and priest
Brann, a hunter and warrior
Sir Finley, a paladn and a chamn
We still don't know if you start with some heroes or with all of them, but whatever hero you choose, these class combinations surely they will make an interesting construction of mallets. Also, like all these adventures, you will build your deck as you go, choosing new cards and treasures after your victories.
The first and second chapters of Tombs of Terror, Lost City, be available totally free for everyone from today September 17. The third episode will arrive on September 24, while the fourth and last will on October 1. Chapters three and four will be priced at 700 gold in the game or 6.99 euros each.

Ethics Opinion 1021
Opinion 1021 (9/12/2014)
Topic: Use of the word "expert" in law firm domain name
Digest: A law firm may not use a domain name that couples the word "expert" with the law firm's area of concentration.
Rules: 7.1, 7.4, 7.5
1. The inquiring law firm asks whether the firm may use, as its website domain name, the firm's sole field of practice with the word "expert" added.
2. The inquiring law firm practices exclusively in one area of law, in which, it is said, the firm "has a very successful track record." The firm wishes to use as its internet website domain name a combination of the name of its sole practice area and the word "expert," for example, "realestatelawexpert" or bankruptcylawexpert," or the like. The inquirer says that the website will elsewhere contain a disclaimer that the firm does not guarantee any favorable outcomes, and that past success does not assure future results. The law firm says that the firm will not use the word "expert" except in its domain name.
3. N.Y. Rule of Professional Conduct 7.5(e)(3) specifically addresses domain names, so we begin our discussion there. That Rule says that a lawyer or law firm may use "a domain name for an internet web site that does not include the name of the lawyer or law firm provided," among other things, that "the domain name does not imply an ability to obtain results in a matter." Comment 2 accompanying this Rule notes that "a personal injury firm could not use the domain name www.win-your-case.com or www.settle-for-more.com because such names imply that the law firm can obtain favorable results in every matter regardless of the particular facts and circumstances." We echoed this sentiment, albeit in the context of a different form of advertising, in our Opinion 1005 (2014), in which we concluded that a claim "We Know How To Win For You" was impermissible under Rule 7.1, adding that "[m]erely posting the disclaimer that 'Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome' will not cure the ethical infirmity of the proposed advertising."
4. The word "expert" in a domain name is laden with claims of comparison. In its common and ordinary meaning, the word denotes having been "proved or approved by test," or a sense of relative superiority "having special skill or knowledge derived from training or experience" or "knowing and ready as a result of wide experience or extensive practice." Webster's Third (Unabridged) International Dictionary 800 (2002). The implication of the word is that the law firm may bring to the matter a seal of approval that provides comparatively greater assurance of some favorable outcome which no disclaimer may readily cure.
5. We need not rely on Rule 7.5(e) alone, however, for two other Rules accent our point. First, Comment 12 accompanying Rule 7.1 teaches that "descriptions of characteristics of the law firm that compare its services with those of other law firms and that are not susceptible of being factually supported could be misleading to potential clients. Accordingly, a lawyer may not advertise that the lawyer is the 'Best,' 'Most Experienced,' or 'Hardest Working.'" To us, the use of the word "expert" is exactly the sort of description that the Comment intends lawyers to avoid – an avoidance that a disclaimer about the past does not fix.
6. Second, Rule 7.4 provides that a lawyer may claim to be recognized or certified as a "specialist" only in certain specific circumstances, none applicable here, and then only if married to a statement qualifying the limits on the "specialist" label. The word "expert" is an obvious synonym for the word "specialist." See, e.g., Roget's International Thesaurus 639 (7th ed. 2010) (listing "expert" as synonym for "specialist"). To suppose that the framers of Rule 7.4 would so restrict the use of the word "specialist" but approve the use of the near-identical label of "expert" is incongruous. Other jurisdictions agree. Spencer v. The Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 579 F. Supp. 880, 885-88 (E.D. Pa. 1984); Maryland Op. 00-21; Ohio Opinion 2005-06; cf. N.Y. State 757 (2002) (no support in rules for use of "expert" even in communications with other lawyers).
7. Nothing in this opinion is intended or should be interpreted to prevent a lawyer from offering or advertising the lawyer's services as an expert witness, whether as a testifying or consulting expert. Courts frequently qualify lawyers as experts to provide admissible testimony on issues in dispute in civil and criminal actions, arbitrations, and other dispute resolution forums. A common example is testimony in a legal malpractice action concerning, among other things, the reasonable standard of care applicable to the legal services in question. The use of the word "expert" in this context, which is typically though not always directed to other lawyers, does not raise the concerns set forth above about claims of superiority to the general public.
8. In sum, we conclude that a law firm may not use the word "expert" in the law firm's domain name regardless of whether the website otherwise contains a disclaimer that prior results do not guarantee future results.

Since World War II there have been about fifty episodes of large-scalemass killings of civilians and massive forced displacements. They were usually meticulously planned and independent of military goals. We provide a model where conflict onset, conflict intensity and the decision to commit mass killings are all endogenous, with two main goals: (1) to identify the key variables and situations that make mass killings more likely to occur; and (2) to distinguish conditions under which mass killings and military conflict intensity reinforce each other from situations where they are substitute modes of strategic violence. We predict that mass killings are most likely in societies with large natural resources, significant proportionality constraints for rent sharing, low productivity and low state capacity. Further, massacres are more likely in a civil than in an interstate war, as in the latter group sizes matter less for future rents. In non polarized societies there are asymmetric equilibria with only the larger group wanting to engage in massacres. In such settings the smaller group compensates for this by fighting harder in the first place. In this case we can talk of mass killings and fighting efforts to be substitutes. In contrast, in polarized societies either both or none of the groups can be ready to do mass killings in case of victory. Under the "shadow of mass killings" groups fight harder. Hence, in this case massacres and fighting are complements. We also present novel empirical results on the role of natural resources in mass killings and on what kinds of ethnic groups are most likely to be victimized in massacres and forced resettlements, using group level panel data.
