Where does the spark originate?
The status of new regulations and standards that would affect handling combustible dust hazards was aptly described in CabinetMaker+FDM, January, 2010. Reference is widely placed on "static" electricity and dust as a highly combustible combination. Very little is discussed about how the dust becomes so highly combustible or where does the "static" electricity originate. Electrical potentials between the workpiece and cutting tool have been shown to exist, particularly when machining green wood. The voltages have been reported as relatively constant. In addition, electrical effects contribute to tool wear by galvanic type corrosion when cutting green wood, but their influences when machining air-dried or drier wood were unclear. Small pits were formed on the rake face of the cutting tools in the area where the chips left the tool face indicates an electric discharge machining effect. The chips produced when machining dry wood were shown to be negatively charged.
Electrical potentials between the workpiece and tool have been shown to be generated when cutting green and dry wood or wood products such as medium density fiberboard (MDF). A series of turning tests on MDF were undertaken to characterize the electrical potentials in wood machining (Figure 1). The results indicated numerous discharges generally from the MDF workpiece (cathode) to the tool (anode) (Figure 2). However, both voltage and current reversals or discharges occurred from the tool to the MDF-workpiece (Figure 3 and Figure 4). These electrical discharge characteristics from wood machining could provide insight for the wear mechanisms for dry wood and wood products as well as for combustible wood dust problems. Faster machining speeds generate higher voltages as shown by the comparison of Figures 3 & 4.
Some voids are apparent in the literature about electrical phenomena in wood machining. For example, the source of the electric potential has not been fully discussed, if at all. The source may be expected as the result of "static electricity" due to simple rubbing of two surfaces, but; more probably, is the result from the Kramer effect. All materials contain free electrons (exoelectrons). Good electrical conductors such as metals have more exoelectrons than poor electrical conductors such as dry wood and wood products. The Kramer effect describes free electrons as being emitted from a freshly scratched, cut, or fractured surface as a result of greater atom spacing at the surface than in the internal regions. The Kramer effect would explain the negatively charged wooden chips or dust and the voltage (potential) between the wooden workpiece and tool, particularly when machining dry wood and wood products which are virtually electrically non-conductors. A freshly generated surface of wooden materials, workpiece, or chip, would be in a highly active chemical state, and electric potentials could have an important influence on bond formation at points of contact as well as on surface chemical reactions. Chips or dust such as from wood composites are formed by mechanically destroying chemical bonds which exposes numerous free radicals waiting to react i.e. oxidize , burn, or explode. The smaller the chip or finer the dust, the more reactive free radicals available for burning or exploding.
The chips or dust from wood machining are negatively charged reactive particles. For safety, the machinery, exhaust duct, and chip dust collectors should all be grounded. Static charges of thousands of volts can accumulate and need to be dissipated as well as ignitions prevented when so much reactive surface area is present.

'The Waltons' Michael Learned Loves Being a Grandma Years after Struggling to Find Balance as Working Mom
Michael Learned was a single mother and was forced to earn a living.
She prioritized her three sons: "Motherhood was the greatest joy of my life."
"I love being a grandma," Learned, fully focused on her grandkids and husband since 1988.
TV actress Michael Learned may have been the best on-screen mom, but she fell short of being there for her three children in real life.
Learned had a demanding full-time job starring in the beloved American TV series "The Waltons," which aired from 1972 to 1981. She starred as Olivia Walton alongside her on-screen husband, Ralph Waite, who played John Walton, and together, the duo embodied the kind-hearted, nurturing parental figures of seven kids.
In September 2020, Judy Norton, who played Mary Ellen Walton on the show, talked openly about her work relationship with Learned throughout the hit drama series and revealed their hectic work schedule heavily impacted Learned and her children:
"It was very challenging for her with the kind of work schedule that we had. That was really difficult for her at times, to have to work all day and feel that she was not having the opportunity to be there for her own sons."
Norton disclosed that Learned once told her that one day, her kids were not happy with her long work hours and that finally, one of her children turned to her and blurted out:
"Why can't you be more like you are on 'The Waltons?'"
While "The Waltons" made Learned a household name, she was initially not interested in portraying Olivia on the show.
When asked in April 2017 during an interview with Fox News about what attracted her to the role, she revealed that it was not part of her plans to star in the series:
"Oh, I didn't want to do it. I wasn't drawn to it at all. […] I wasn't ready to play a 40-year-old farmer's wife. I didn't want to do it."
However, the gig came at an opportune time for Learned, who was in the process of a divorce. She had to provide for her brood because she did not gain anything monetary from the divorce.
That said, she figures the role of Olivia as a silver lining in her life, saying, "it was a gift from God. It saved my life." The Washington native made "$1200 a week" and was able to send her children to ivy league schools:
"It was a joy but a grind. I didn't care for the 14-hour days."
Learned is a proud mother of sons Lucas, Caleb, and Chris Donat – whom she shares with her first husband, actor Peter Donat. She once said, "Motherhood was the greatest joy of my life."
The doting mom celebrated Mother's Day with her sons whenever she could – who then would make her breakfast in bed for the special occasion. Learned joked that their food would be "inedible" at times, but they were "so happy" that she would at least try to have a bite.
"I Love Being a Grandma": Her Current Life with Grandkids & Husband of 34 Years
Following her first divorce from Donat, Learned wed for the second time to Glen Chadwick in 1974. However, the pair divorced in 1977.
She later married, for the third time, to a Los-Angeles based attorney, John Doherty, in 1988, and the two have been married ever since. They live together in California.
Besides being a wife and a mom, Learned is also a doting grandmother to three grandkids. In March 1997, she divulged that she relishes being a grandparent.
One of her grandchildren calls her by the moniker "My Granny Mikey," and she stated every time her grandkid calls her by that nickname, she would want to give them candy and caution them not to tell on her.
Why Did She Leave "The Waltons?"
Since she made room for her family, Learned left "The Waltons" in 1979, right before the series ended in 1981. When asked whether she had any regrets about her exit, she said:
"Yes, there's been times when I've regretted it only in that it probably would have been better to complete the whole show."
However, there came a time whereby she felt that she could not do her character any more justice and admitted that, eventually, boredom took over, leading to her decision to leave.
When asked whether she still had good relations with her former castmates, Learned said they are all "still so close" and adore one another. Although time has passed throughout the years, to them, it still feels like the good old days, "They're like my second family," she said.

How did this conversation come about?
They both sound like cry babies. Sometimes the phrase, no comment, can have a much bigger impact.
I watched the interview your creating fake news. He never once stated that the seals should have got them earlier. What he said was Pakistan was lying to the Obama administration and hiding him. Which is true he was practically staying on their military base. The owner if the house was a general in their military.
So pakistan took lots of money feom the US only to hide its enemies in their country. There is a reason Obama didnt tell Pakistan until the raid had all ready started. He knew they would warn him.
I thank him for his service, but he's no better than anyone else screaming their political opinion. If he wants to be paraded around for his achievement, then so be it. Just don't feel offended when many now only see him tooting his own horn for some financial and political gain.
"I did not back Hillary Clinton or anyone else," McRaven said in a statement to CNN on Sunday in response to Trump's comments. "I am a fan of President Obama and President George W. Bush, both of whom I worked for." McRaven said he admires all presidents, "regardless of their political party, who uphold the dignity of the office and who use that office to bring the Nation together in challenging times." "I stand by my comment that the President's attack on the media is the greatest threat to our democracy in my lifetime. When you undermine the people's right to a free press and freedom of speech and expression, then you threaten the Constitution and all for which it stands."
Where was he when Obama was really attacking the freedom of the press? Obama literally spied on journalists. Oh, that's right he's a lefty trying to act like he's not.
McCraven didn't kill bin laden. He was a general, he hasn't touched a rifle in probably 30 years.
And that's even if you believe that nonsense they tried pushing with bin ladens death. Burial at sea in accordance with Muslim traditions? Gtfoh.
But even if you do believe it went down that way, the operation was a sh*t show. Losing a stealth special Ops helicopter on a raid they had months to plan and rehearse?
Dude has no credibility, just another leftists Obama lapdog.
He organized the mission, he was in charge. Plus he served in hundreds of other missions as well. He put his life on the line for this country numerous times in the past but since his political views differ from yours he shouldn't be given any respect?
Thanks for giving a real time example of what I talked about in the OP. When you start viewing people who have different opinions from you as the enemy or lesser we are going down the wrong road.
So in today's "Member Who Literally Can't Even" thread, we see new, breaking details in the ongoing case of "Orange Man Bad".
Stay tuned tomorrow, for another breaking story of how "Orange Man Evil", followed by a wonderful, uplifting piece of "Antifa and the Democrats - Warriors of light", where we see first-hand video (played in reverse) showing Antifa members pick up a severely beaten innocent bystander and sent along on their way.
On the next episode of "Trump Says"', BlackJackal spends another day policing Trumps speech, and without irony, writing a half-page thread post on how petty and childish Trump is.
What ever you have to tell yourself to make you feel better.

They demand breaking up the armed groups in Chenalhó
The Displaced of Chalchiuitán Photo: Ángeles Mariscal
By: Isaín Mandujano
From this community in the Chiapas Highlands, indigenous people from a dozen communities that experienced a massive displacement in 2017, today asked the state and federal government to break up the civilian armed groups that operate in Chenalhó municipality that terrorized them for two years with their weapons and patrols in the region.
Just two days after the two-year anniversary of the murder of the indigenous Tsotsil Samuel Luna Girón, which triggered an armed attack on the residents of Chalchihuitán, on the part of civilian armed group in Chenalhó, today his widow, family members, friends and compañeros of the man riddled with shots, asked for justice and punishment of the murderers and that the government comply with the corresponding indemnifications for all the damages that they caused them, by not having guaranteed the security of those who suffered forced displacement.
Elicia Gómez García, Samuel Luna Girón's widow, recalled that October 18, 2017, when a group of armed men murdered her husband in front of her and their children, and began to evict them from their homes and burn the houses, as well as those of others neighbors and relatives.
All of that derived from the dispute over territorial limits between the municipalities of Chenalhó and Chalchiuitán, where the comuneros of both places fought each other over some lands where Tsotsil comuneros of both localities grow coffee and corn. This is an agrarian conflict that has several decades now.
It was in October 2017, when more than 5,000 residents of some 11 Chalchiuitán communities bordering on Chenalhó, were obliged to leave their homes and take refuge in the mountains, while some were able to reach other communities or the municipal capital. The displaced had to leave 11 communities.
From the end of October until December, the 5,023 indigenous people, men, women, elderly and children, survived in precarious conditions, in overcrowded conditions, suffering cold and hunger. Some 12 people died of diseases, or because of not having food to give to their children. The dead were the weakest ones, newborns and elderly.
María Pérez Paciencia, from one of the nine communities abandoned on that occasion, recalled the miserable conditions that they had to endure for two months given the indifference of the state government of Manuel Velasco and the federal government of Enrique Peña Nieto. And although there were no conditions for returning, little by little they were returned to their homes, with the permanent threat of being attacked.
Javier Luna Girón, said that the civilian armed groups in the region that forced them to leave their homes continue operating with impunity, and that their dead continue without having justice.
Ausencio Pérez Paciencia, said that two years have already passed and they continue waiting for the payment the state and federal governments promised the 5,000 displaced for everything that they lost: crops, backyard and farm animals, household goods, burned houses that have not been reconstructed and many other material damages that they suffered.
Marcos Pérez Gómez lamented that the state and federal governments have just deceived the population, that these civilian armed groups that are patrolling the roads they continue terrorizing them, that they enter the cornfields (milpas) to intimidate the campesinos of Chalchiuitán. The government has not dismantled them and they have operated since 1997 when they organized as a paramilitary group to perpetrate the massacre of 45 campesinos on December 22, 1997 in Acteal, Chenalhó.

One Comment on "They demand breaking up the armed groups in Chenalhó"
Don LeBaron
Zapatismo has given the government a true purpose for its existence. A valid republican government exists to protect the inherent and inalienable sovereign rights of its people. While that seems to be the big secret of the day, it is the ineffaceable cause that lies at the root of Mexico's existence. The Mexican government has forgotten why it exists. It has always been up to the people to remind them and see to the maintenance of their liberty.
The resistance of the indigenous people haunts and terrorizes the capitalist hydra along with its governmental pawns. Their treason is being exposed. The controlled media cannot silence the voices that penetrate the towns and villages of the oppressed poor. The slumbering masses are waking up.
Those voices penetrate, just as well, the gloomy haunts of the ruling elite. Soon we will see their trembling.
The paramilitary groups, a CIA established tactic, is the undeniable evidence of the failure of government to satisfy the purpose for which it exists. Where I come from, we have a word for that. Chicken-shit.
The Zapatismo people of southern Mexico have validated their cause of resistance and rebellion. They have demanded restitution and if the government fails to accord, then it is the right and duty of the people to replace them. See now how the spineless government people squirm in the face of truth and right.

Die Großohr-Wollfledermaus oder Peters Wollgesicht-Fledermaus (Chrotopterus auritus) ist eine Fledermausart aus der Familie der Blattnasen (Phyllostomidae), welche in Zentral- und Südamerika beheimatet ist.

Beschreibung
Die Großohr-Wollfledermaus ist mit einem Körpergewicht von 75 bis 96 g eine der größten Fledermäuse weltweit. Die Gesamtlänge beträgt 110–125 mm. Nur drei weitere Fledermausarten, welche ebenfalls in der neuen Welt vorkommen sind von vergleichbarer Größe: die Große Lanzennase, Phylloderma stenops und die Große Spießblattnase. Das Rückenfell der Großohr-Wollfledermaus ist etwa 12 mm lang, mehr als doppelt so lang wie das der drei anderen, ähnlich großen Arten. Zudem hat sie größere Ohren (> 40 mm), welche nicht miteinander verbunden sind. Der Tragus ist klein und spitz. Das Fell ist dicht und wollig, schwarz-grau oder braun, und damit dunkler als das von Phylloderma stenops und der großen Lanzennase. Die Daumen sind lang und enden in einer langen, gebogenen Klaue. Die Unterarme sind stark behaart. Der kurze Schwanz (< 15 mm) ist ganz in die Schwanzflughaut eingebettet. Das Nasenblatt ist lang und breit und die Augen relativ groß.

Lebensweise
Die Großohr-Wollfledermaus bewohnt tropischen und subtropischen Regenwald. Sie ist wie die meisten Fledermäuse nachtaktiv. Tagsüber hängt sie in Gruppen von einem bis sieben Individuen in Höhlen, Minen, verlassenen Gebäuden, hohlen Termitennestern und hohlen Bäumen. Ihre Nahrung besteht aus Insekten und kleinen Wirbeltieren wie kleine Echsen der Gattung Thecadactylus, kleine Tauben der Gattung Columbina, Ameisenvögel, Tangaren, Spitzmäuse, Mausopossums und Mäuse. Kleine Säugetiere werden durch einen Nacken- oder Kehlbiss getötet, während bei Vögeln ein Biss in den oberen Kopf angewendet wird. Das Maximalgewicht der Beutetiere beträgt dabei 70 g. Andere Fledermausarten gehören wahrscheinlich auch zum Beutespektrum der Großohr-Wollfledermaus.

Wie bei vielen anderen Blattnasen wird ein Junges pro Wurf geboren. Die Paarungszeit variiert wahrscheinlich mit der Region, jedoch wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Tiere nur einmal im Jahr in den Östrus kommen.

Verbreitung und Lebensraum
Die Großohr-Wollfledermaus kommt von Süden Mexikos bis in den Norden Argentiniens vor, mit Ausnahme der Andenregionen. Ihr Bestand wird von der IUCN dank der weiten Verbreitung als ungefährdet eingestuft.

(Redirected from Clan (gaming))
Organized group of video game players
In video games, a clan, community, guild or faction is an organized group of video game players that regularly play together in one or more multiplayer games. Many clans take part in gaming competitions, but some clans are just small gaming squads consisting of friends. [1] These squads range from groups of a few friends to four-thousand plus person organizations, with a broad range of structures, goals and members. The lifespan of a clan also varies considerably, from a few weeks to over a decade. Numerous clans exist for nearly every online game available today, notably in first-person shooters (FPS), massively multiplayer games (MMO), role-playing video games (RPG), and strategy games. There are also meta-groups that span a wide variety of games. Some clans formed by groups of players have grown into multi-million dollar professional esports teams.
Many clans on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and computers have official clan websites with forums to interact and discuss many topics with the rest of their clan. [2] They offer in-clan awards and medals for clan achievements ranging from time in the clan to wins and contributions to the group like donations and prizes for giveaways. The terms alliance and team are also used for this purpose in, e.g., Illyriad or Freeciv.
In first-person shooters
As the first-person shooter (FPS) genre became increasingly popular, the idea of a competitive clan became widely accepted. Clans became teams, or elite clan members form teams to represent the clan in online battle. [3] FPS clans normally host servers with rules that they like. For instance if a group of gamers like to use pistols only they could join a clan that runs a pistols only server and the clan would enforce the rules.
In role-playing games
Clans also exist in other genres, where they are often referred to by a different name and serve a purpose more suited to the game. Many massively multiplayer online (MMO) and role-playing video games (RPGs) tend to call them "guilds" or invent their own term. Examples of this include Star Wars Galaxies ("player associations" [4]) and EVE Online ("corporations" [5]). EVE Online is also notable for having defined the system in more detail than is common in most MMOs, with "alliances" being a larger grouping. The final form of community in Eve is known as a Coalition which are grouping of multiple alliances, this system isn't supported by the game software instead are a player driven creation. In the superhero-based game City of Heroes, they are called "supergroups", and are similar in structure to comic book hero organizations like the X-Men. In Final Fantasy XI, such clans are called "linkshells" and players of the game have the tendency and ability to be in more than one at once. Final Fantasy XIV also shares the same system for Linkshells as Final Fantasy XI but also with the addition of "Free Companies" [6] which allow for the more traditional form of Clan and Guild system seen in most MMORPG games.
In simulation games
Many simulation games, such as those in the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, have clans that follow similar patterns to other genres. Notable types of simulation clans include virtual airlines (VAs) and Virtual Military Organizations (VMOs). A virtual airline is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. VAs generally have a presence on the Internet, similar to a real airline. It has been proposed[ by whom?] that there are over 100 VAs of significance currently active, with tens of thousands of participants at any one time. [7]

Power was out in a section of East Dallas on the night a couple's car was struck broadside by a truck. Traffic police report that traffic lights in the neighborhood were out of operation and that the electricity outage may have played a factor in the fatal car accident.
Accident investigation reports say the crash at the Ferguson Road and Joaquin Road intersection occurred around 8 p.m. when the driver of a light-colored pickup truck slammed into the side of another car. The force of the crash sent the car careening into a nearby pole.
Police say the pickup truck driver fled the accident scene without stopping. Investigators believe the truck driver may have been hurt in the East Dallas crash. Damage to the truck, described as having an over-sized, black front grill, was believed to be severe.
Medical officials say a 38-year-old female accident victim, the passenger in the car, died shortly after she was transported to a nearby hospital. The 34-year-old driver suffered serious injuries including a torn aorta and fractured hip. He died at Baylor Medical Center two days after the crash. The couple, who was headed home from a trip a grocery store, were the parents of two children, ages 3 and 8.
Dallas traffic safety officials say they had been notified about two hours before the fatal crash that the traffic lights were out. The technician who was assigned to fix them was unable to attend to the problem immediately because he was already working on several problems in the area. The traffic lights in the area of the hit-and-run accident were repaired just before 10 p.m., almost two hours following the crash.
It is unclear if police will file charges against the pickup driver if they find him.

Q: How to specify a Dockerfile without passing it inline or hosted on a git server In Openshift Origin, I need to build and deploy from a Dockerfile in my local filesystem. It isn't hosted on a git server. Anybody know how I can specify that in the URI?
source:
  git:
    ref: master
    uri: https://github.com/some/project
  type: Git
strategy:
  dockerStrategy:
    from:
      kind: ImageStreamTag
      name: java-centos:oracle-8-jdk
  type: Docker

Also, I'm aware of passing the Dockerfile inline, but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to indicate where the Dockerfile is located in the filesystem.
I also tried:
oc new-app --name blog --strategy=docker C:\my\folder\containing\Dockerfile

Ted

A: Use:
oc new-build --name blog --strategy=docker --binary

This will create a build configuration for a binary input build, but nothing else.
Each time you want to run a build, you would run:
oc start-build blog --from-dir .

Run this in the directory where the Dockerfile and other files are located.
Once the build has completed the first time, you can then run:
oc new-app --image-stream blog --name blog

to create a deployment for the application.
If it was a web application and you want to make it publicly access, you can then run:
oc expose svc/blog

Note: For anyone who is interested, I'll be conducting a blogging workshop next Thursday at the Indiana Writers' Center. Here's the information.
I'm hesitant to attribute it to candor–it's more likely a belief that they are untouchable–but members of the Trump Administration have evidently given up trying to hide their unethical behaviors. A recent example: Mick Mulvaney, the current director of OMB (whose second job is overseeing/dismantling Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) publicly admitted that the only people he willingly met with as a member of Congress were constituents and donors.
"We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress," Mulvaney said, according to a New York Times report this week. At the top of the hierarchy were his constituents, he explained, adding, "If you're a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn't talk to you. If you're a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.
According to the Daily Beast, Mulvaney no longer has constituents, so now he's just taking meetings with lobbyists and companies who financed his past political campaigns.
Pay-for-play Mulvaney is right at home in today's shameless GOP.
A close look at public campaign finance reports reveals a network of Russian oligarchs increasingly contributing to top Republican leadership in recent years, according to the Dallas News. And thanks to the Supreme Court's ruling on Citizens United in 2010, the donations are perfectly legal.
I'm sure you'll be shocked to know that McConnell is identified as one of those benefitting from Russian largesse.
Needless to say, these paragons of public service don't take kindly to admonitions about their obligations to the "least of us." Despite their near-constant insistence that they are pious Christians, and despite their efforts to impose their particular brand of Christianity on the rest of us, they sure get prickly when a genuine Christian engages in even the mildest biblical truth-telling.
Case in point: Ostentatiously Catholic Paul Ryan abruptly dismissed the Catholic House Chaplain–a job that James Madison didn't think should exist–after the chaplain offered a prayer that offended Ryan during the tax "reform" debate.
"I was asked to resign, that is clear," Father Conroy said. As for why, he added, "that is unclear."…Father Conroy said he received the news from Mr. Ryan's chief of staff. "The speaker would like your resignation," Father Conroy recalled being told. He complied.
Father Conroy's prayer had included a line asking that legislators be mindful of the ways their actions might affect the poor–a despicable display of compassion that evidently incurred the wrath of Ayn Rand's most devoted disciple.
Commenters to this blog frequently remind others to "follow the money." It's good advice when the question at hand requires determining why such-and-such happened, or why so-and-so is taking a particular position.
Today's GOP makes it unnecessary to follow the money. It isn't just Trump. These plutocrats and would-be plutocrats are utterly transparent about the role money plays in their deliberations, their policies and their behaviors.
It's what they really worship.
Here's a challenge: how many biblical phrases must an evangelical Christian ignore in order to justify supporting Donald Trump?
I know–you have a life, and you are too busy to compile them all.
My personal favorite is the admonition that "Love of money is the root of all evil." (Note: it isn't the money–it's the love of money.) Next time your pious neighbor explains that Trump's riches are evidence of his worthiness, you might ask him about 1 Timothy 6:10.
I thought about that verse when I read a recent column summarizing research on the moral effects of wealth. It was written by Charles Mathewes, a Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia, and Evan Sandsmark, a PhD student in Religious Studies at the University, and it touched on several issues with which this blog has recently dealt.
We seem to view wealth as simply good or neutral, and chalk up the failures of individual wealthy people to their own personal flaws, not their riches. Those who are rich, we seem to think, are not in any more moral danger than the rest of us.
The point is not necessarily that wealth is intrinsically and everywhere evil, but that it is dangerous — that it should be eyed with caution and suspicion, and definitely not pursued as an end in itself; that great riches pose great risks to their owners; and that societies are right to stigmatize the storing up of untold wealth.
After quoting historical figures like Aristotle and religious books (including Hindu texts and the Koran), they quote Pope Francis, who has waxed eloquent on the subject, and then segue to current social science research.
The authors note studies suggesting that great material wealth actually makes people less willing to share.
So the rich are more likely to be despicable characters. And, as is typically the case with the morally malformed, the first victims of the rich are the rich themselves. Because they often let money buy their happiness and value themselves for their wealth instead of anything meaningful, they are, by extension, more likely to allow other aspects of their lives to atrophy. They seem to have a hard time enjoying simple things, savoring the everyday experiences that make so much of life worthwhile. Because they have lower levels of empathy, they have fewer opportunities to practice acts of compassion — which studies suggest give people a great deal of pleasure . They tend to believe that people have different financial destinies because of who they essentially are, so they believe that they deserve their wealth , thus dampening their capacity for gratitude, a quality that has been shown to significantly enhance our sense of well-being. All of this seems to make the rich more susceptible to loneliness; they may be more prone to suicide, as well.
Given all this, I'm trying to work up my sympathies for our unhappy, morally-malformed President–but his sheer awfulness keeps getting in the way….
Indiana doesn't have money for adequate infrastructure repair and maintenance, or for preschool for at-risk children, or …well, you know the drill. There are all sorts of things normal citizens expect their state government to do only to be told by our elected overlords that the money isn't there.
But there's always enough money to pay the lawyers to defend our lawmakers' misplaced priorities or ethically indefensible actions.
Did Indiana's Governor refuse to resettle Syrian refugees, despite the fact that under long-settled law, he doesn't have the legal authority to make that decision? Let's have the Attorney General defend him in the inevitable lawsuit, and then appeal the (equally inevitable) adverse verdict.
Is the Environmental Protection Agency trying to bring 19th Century environmental policies into compliance with the realities of 21st Century problems? Sue the EPA and insist that Indiana won't go along.
And don't get me started on the entirely voluntary participation of Indiana in several culture war lawsuits aimed at derailing equal rights for LGBT Americans. We do like to keep our AG busy!
Hoosier taxpayers have paid $160,000 in legal fees to shield Indiana House and Senate communications from public view in just eight months.
The final tab will be higher because the most recent tally from the Indiana Auditor's Office doesn't include a bill covering the March 17 oral argument before the Indiana Supreme Court.
"Follow the money" is a time-honored mantra that can mean many things. But one thing it almost always means is that people allocate resources based upon their actual priorities.
As a visual person who prefers text, I find some tables and charts more confusing than helpful.
If you want to understand how money affects our political system, these charts tell the story–no propaganda, no spin, no explaining away the data. As Sgt. Friday used to say, just the facts, ma'am.
Perhaps the most potent force driving partisanship is the rise of a massive industry that makes money off political discord. This industry encompasses cable news networks, talk radio shows, partisan think tanks, direct mail fundraisers, innumerable websites and blogs, social media and gadfly candidates and commentators. Many of these entities have a deep economic stake in perpetuating political conflict. They are successully marketing and monetizing partisan outrage.

Every object in the bedroom large or small has a direct relation to dimensions of the human body. This relation with our body decides the comfort level in a bedroom. If a double bed is oversized, it will naturally occupy more floor space by reducing the volume of empty space. That's why proportions of every furniture piece are vital to maintain comfort levels.
Let's examine some important factors about bedroom furniture units.
This piece of furniture occupies the maximum amount of floor space. A typical double bed measures about 1800mmX1800mmX450mm height. Of course this is a comfortable sized bed but can vary depending upon the requirements at the interior site.
In a case where the mirror is fixed on the outer surface of the wardrobe shutter,(as mentioned above) the storage space for make-up kit can be arranged inside the wardrobe.
4) Study Table with extra storage desk….
This combination of a study table and a book shelf is a great way to save space in small bedrooms. If the table top in not occupied by a computer or other objects, it can be made to fold and thus increasing more floor area.

This summer Sam Bradshaw Productions has teamed up with Chickenshed to present a brand new musical adaptation of David Walliams' acclaimed best-selling book, 'MR STINK'.
The very kind, but lonely, 12 year old Chloe invites the homeless Mr Stink and his dog, Duchess, to leave behind the wooden bench where they have taken up residence and secretly move into her family's shed.
Matters become more complicated when Chloe's mother – who has unfulfilled political ambitions – tries to take credit for Chloe's generosity.
And precisely who is Mr Stink, anyway?
And now this imaginative and heart-warming show is hitting the road, following Chickenshed's successful six week run at their own venue last summer.
Sam Bradshaw and Chickenshed's Artistic Director Lou Stein are absolutely in agreement about the importance of touring this diverse company's high calibre of work, which combines in this production with David Walliams' wonderfully subversive writing to create a unique and unforgettable experience for young audiences across the UK.
David Walliams is a huge supporter of Chickenshed's work, and Mr Stink is the second of his hugely popular novels that Chickenshed has adapted for the stage, in an original and touching musical version. David is delighted that this important and engaging show will reach new audiences this summer.
We are also delighted to announce that renowned British presenter, broadcaster and journalist JEREMY VINE, will be making his professional acting debut with a cameo performance.
Join Chickenshed this summer for a brilliantly staged musical version of a warm-hearted and extremely funny story. We guarantee that you will laugh, you will cry and you might well also want to hold your nose!!

Player Profile: Eoin Reddan
Click here for a profile of young Limerick-born scrum half Eoin Reddan, who is the only uncapped player named in the Ireland squad for Saturday week's RBS 6 Nations clash with Italy.
…Eoin Reddan: the only uncapped player who has been named in Ireland's 22-man squad for the RBS 6 Nations Championship opener against Italy on February 4…
EOIN REDDAN
Position: Scrum Half
Club: London Wasps
School; Crescent College Comprehensive, Limerick
Height: 5ft 8in (172cm)
Weight: 12st 8lbs (80kg)
EOIN REDDAN'S rugby journey began when, as a 13-year-old, he took up the game at his local Old Crescent club in Limerick. He quickly became a noted scrum half on the provincial scene, earning caps for Munster at Schools and Under-19 level.
Reddan gained further recognition when he was capped for the Ireland Schools, Under-21 and Student representative sides, whilst shifting his studies from Crescent College to the University of Limerick.
AIB League experience followed with Young Munster and Old Crescent. Reddan then signed for Connacht in 2001. Two successful seasons later, he returned to his home province, signing a full-time contract with Munster. He made his competitive debut against Leinster in the Celtic League in September 2003.
However, with Peter Stringer the man firmly in charge of the number 9 jersey, Reddan found his chances limited despite making 27 league appearances over the course of two seasons for Munster. Ironically, Reddan was to be on the replacements bench for Munster's agonising Heineken Cup semi-final defeat by his future employers Wasps at Lansdowne Road in April 2004.
Former Connacht and Ireland coach Warren Gatland, a long-time admirer of Reddan's, lured the Limerick man to Wasps last season with his signature for the Guinness Premiership giants confirmed in June.
Since then, Reddan has performed consistently well for the English champions, starting 13 games under new director of rugby Ian McGeechan so far this season, notching three tries and enjoying a competitive rivalry with experienced England scrum half Matt Dawson.
His encouragining displays across the water earned him a call-up to the Ireland training squad for the RBS 6 Nations, and he now looks set for some involvement against Italy in the February 4 opener.
Commenting on Reddan's inclusion in the 22-man squad for the Italian game, Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan said: "Eoin has a very balanced game. He's an excellent passer. He threatens the fringe a lot and kicks very well.
"He jumped into a high pressure situation at Wasps and hit the ground running. Ian McGeechan called me and said Eoin was someone to watch. The fact he's gone toe to toe with Matt Dawson, who is one of the best scrum halves in the world, and held his own also stands him in good stead.
"He's a young player who has matured. He has a good package at half back and hasn't been picked because he's young, but because he's good."
…Eoin Reddan gets ready to pass out of a ruck during the Ireland squad training session on Tuesday…

Macau smoke ban could spark 16 pct GDP dip: study
Nov 12, 2015 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Top of the deck
A study from consulting firm KPMG says a full smoking ban inside Macau's casinos could lead to a 16-percent decline in gross domestic product (GDP) for the city. The study was commissioned by Macau's six gaming concessionaires.
Representatives from the six firms on Wednesday presented the results to a working committee of the Macau Legislative Assembly.
On July 10, legislators approved the first reading of a government bill that proposes the abolition of casino smoking lounges and a full smoking ban in VIP areas. The bill is now at committee stage in the Legislative Assembly, but it is likely to be next year before the revised rules become law.
The committee is currently inviting several interested groups to share their views about the impact of the proposals in the new bill on smoking. The bill also covers other topics beyond smoking in casinos – for instance, it bans the sale of electronic cigarettes in Macau.
A Wednesday press release issued on behalf of Macau's six gaming concessionaires – Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd, Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd, MGM China Holdings Ltd, Sands China Ltd, SJM Holdings Ltd and Wynn Macau Ltd – stated that "the group believes that maintaining well-constructed and independently-ventilated smoking lounges in casinos could be an alternative to a full smoking ban".
It added: "The group believes that retaining smoking lounges to protect the health of employees and guests while also offering the amenities requested by many of their customers would avoid the negative effects on the economy that a total smoking ban could trigger."
'Negative chain effects'
The release stated the KPMG study – which at the time this story went online had not been made available to the media – showed that, "should there be a complete smoking ban, Macau GDP could fall substantially by another 16 percent".
It added: "The significant GDP drop and tax revenue reduction could have negative chain effects on overall tax revenue, which could then impact the city's social welfare in the long-run."
The study noted that a reduction in GDP "would also compromise the overall business market as the impact will not be limited to casino operators, but also to small- and medium-sized enterprises".
In the first six months of 2015, Macau's GDP contracted by 25.4 percent year-on-year in real terms because of the ongoing downturn it the city's casino industry, according to official data. Macau also gets most of its public revenue from taxes on casino gaming, levied at an effective rate of 39 percent of the gambling gross.
The city's casino gaming gross revenue (GGR) monthly tally has fallen for 17 consecutive months, judged year-on-year, since June last year. Macau's accumulated GGR for the first 10 months of 2015 stood at MOP196.07 billion (US$24.6 billion), a fall of 35.5 percent compared to the same period in 2014. Investment analysts covering the sector attribute the decline to several factors, including the ongoing anti-corruption drive in mainland China, a slowdown in the Chinese economy and increased scrutiny of the junket system.
The six gaming operators had released some initial results of the KPMG study in June. Those showed that about two-thirds, or 66 percent, of Macau casino workers and 71 percent of customers supported the retention of smoking lounges in the casinos.
The working committee of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday also met with representatives from the Macau Junket Operators Association. Working committee head, Chan Chak Mo, told reporters that the junket representatives warned legislators about the potential negative impact in the VIP sector of a full smoking ban.
"It was stated that the sector includes more than 100 VIP rooms, with about 2,000 gaming tables and around 10,000 workers [excluding dealers]," public broadcaster Radio Macau quoted Mr Chan as saying. He added that junket representatives feared a full smoking ban would jeopardise their operations, with VIP gamblers choosing to place their bets elsewhere, like Singapore.
Smoking on casino main floors in Macau is currently only allowed in airport-style enclosed smoking lounges that do not contain any gaming tables or slot machines. Having a cigarette while gambling is at present still allowed in VIP rooms.
Investment analysts have said removing mass floor smoking lounges could shave 10 percent from mass market gaming revenue, and a VIP room smoking ban as much as 15 percent from VIP revenue.
The Macau government has admitted it might reconsider its position regarding the proposed full smoking ban, depending on the results of the ongoing consultations being conducted by the Legislative Assembly's working committee.
Macau's Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Alexis Tam Chon Weng – who oversees smoking control policies – said in August that if the consultation results showed the majority of the population and gaming workers were in favour of keeping smoking lounges, the government would be open to discussing the matter and could reconsider its stance. But he denied this meant a U-turn, adding that the government's smoking lounge ban proposal was aimed at protecting the health of casino workers and visitors.
He had previously argued that smoking lounges inside casinos were not completely effective in preventing non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.

When I stood behind the blocks last Friday, about to swim the 100 breaststroke for the first time in four years, I was smiling. Was I nervous? Of course. Where I once let my anxiousness overwhelm me to the point that was I relieved that my swimming career was "over", I was excited to swim.
I proceeded to swim a very sloppy race, and my time (1:06.11, with 30.1 and 36.0 for splits) reflected that. Afterwards, my instinct was to beat myself up. I thought about the people who would read this blog and think "this guy thinks he's going to break a minute?". Then I told that part of my brain to quiet down. I know it may always be there, but I don't have time for that crap.
Let me back up for a second. When I last wrote I was having trouble sleeping, something that has improved moderately since then. I cut back on alcohol and started drinking chamomile tea nightly. I began writing an occasional journal where I wrote out arguments against the nagging internal monologue that tries to convince me I'm a disappointment.
Two weeks before the competition, I was at pre-school picking up my daughter. I squatted down to give her a hug. I heard a loud click and felt my kneecap move sideways. Startled, I gathered myself and walked my daughter home with my adrenaline pumping. I woke up the next morning with my knee throbbing.
What should have been my mini-taper was full of limping, careful dadding (I dare you to try to avoid getting down on the floor with a three year old) and a slow progression towards being able to swim breaststroke. I was able to finally do breaststroke with light pain two days before the meet, and felt confident I wouldn't make it worse by competing.
I know it may sound like i'm making excuses, but I'm not. I swam in the meet, unsure of how it would go, but knowing that finding out where I truly would help me no matter what.
I need to do a lot more work on my turns, starts and breakouts. I skied my start, ended up too deep and broke out underwater. My turns were loose, especially my pushoffs.
I need to get in better shape. Would I have come home better had I felt confident in my legs? Probably. Would I have an easier time finishing without poor starts, turns and breakouts? Sure! But it is also true that it is much easier to execute these skills when you are appropriately fit.
To that end, my training needs more volume. I spent a lot of my breaststroke workouts chasing 15 second 25s, yet my final 25 on that 100 was around 19 seconds. I believe I could use a lot more volume of 16s before I try to build up 15 again.
This morning I was back in the pool. This afternoon I'll be back in the weight room. This last few months was only the beginning. not nearly the end.
This project is titled for the goal of two digit swim in a 100 breaststroke, but that's not what it's about. This project is about the process of achieving that goal. When I stood on the blocks last Friday, I felt like I had already won.
I knew that in the past year, I had worked hard to get to the point where I was, improved my fitness and put myself on the line. More importantly, I knew that I was a good father, a good husband and that I did it all while going through the hardest year of my life.
You can't measure that with a stopwatch.


Living Room Literature is a simple idea: short literature courses for small groups of people looking to nurture or rekindle their love of books without leaving the comfort of a relaxed home environment. Classes – which take place in the informal setting of a living room: your own or mine depending on which course option you choose – are sociable but serious. I want to help busy people understand a text and its context in a deep way, but there'll also be tea and cake to push us along.
If you miss English and the sort of satisfying reading you used to do at school before life or career got in the way, I am certain you will love these courses.
Who is Living Room Literature?
I'm Sarah Wah. I'm a qualified English teacher with years of experience working in universities and schools. I currently teach at St Paul's Girls' School where I am also deputy head of the English department. A little while ago, a parent said "I'd love you to teach me!" and LRL was born!

The Roc Nation Brunch: Enough star power to make the Grammys jealous
Shaheem Reid
// Feb 13, 2017

Jay Z hosted the annual Roc Nation brunch this year at the Oakwood Estate in Los Angeles and welcomed a slew of friends from icons to up-and-coming stars.
LA Clipper and perennial NBA All-Star Chris Paul, actors Jaden Smith and Adrien Brody, Brooklyn MCs Papoose and Casanova, Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Jhene Aiko, 2 Chainz, and Diddy were all in attendance, as were a bevy of the Roc Nation roster artists Rihanna, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe and Remy Ma, Big Sean, Yo Gotti, Justine Skye and the newest recruit, Jim Jones.
@Diddy x @RocNation.

Jones just announced his management deal this week and a few days ago went on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show and explained that the hatchet between him and one-time nemesis Hov (and a few other parties on Roc Nation) had been buried.
"I sat and thought about that shit for 48 hours like, 'Where are we going with this?,'" Jones told Flex about the trepidation he had going into the Roc Nation meeting. Obviously, his concerns didn't stop him and he's thrilled to be down with the team.
"With this type of platform, any idea I bring to the table, I know they're capable of pushing it to the moon," Jones said of his expectation from the management group. He also told Flex that he hadn't spoken directly to Jay Z since signing to Roc Nation, but that the two have talked through third parties. Well, chances are they finally got a chance to speak yesterday.
Jim posted a few pics of himself on Instagram with Jay Z, Gotti, Diddy, Justine Skye and Chainz saying, "Too much bag talk, I'm tired."

A look at the life and work of Devajyoti Ray, who has often been heralded as the most promising artist of the new generation is likely to emerge as the best of his time.
An IPS officer, for whom painting has been a passion since childhood, Devajyoti's works have been described as pseudoreal art in several art journals and magazines. His first solo was held in Kolkata in 2005, which was followed by many more in Mumbai's Jehangir Gallery and at Delhi's India Habitat Centre. His first international solo show was at Cinnamon Art House, Dubai in 2010.
Devajyoti Ray born in 1974 is today one of the youngest masters of Indian Art. In fact he has often been heralded as the most promising artist of the new generation and in days to come he is likely to emerge as the best of his time.
Like Sunil Das and BR Panesar, Ray too had joined initially as a government officer and then by force of his talent entered the art world independently. Like BR Panesar, Ray's works are independent of the influence of the regular art school styles. And in fact so independent is his style that critics have called his art a new genre.
The word Pseudorealism which is often attached to Ray's works is in fact a term that was associated with films but Ray had drafted it according to his own needs to create a new style of visual imagery where he uses offbeat colours and shapes to create a pseudo-balance. It is thus a style that is rooted in the new Indian reality and in a way marks a new phase in Art of post-liberalization India.
Ray paints predominantly in acrylic/ Since Ray had no formal training in art, his techniques are largely self-developed and this adds to his uniqueness. Ray uses large areas of flat colours, offbeat shapes and yet at the end the paintings look realistic and comprehendible. Ray has also worked in water colours and mixed media and has produced many new forms of experimental art. His collages, which had a special feature of looking like scraps of haphazard papers but forming clear realistic scenes when seen from a distance was also a novelty of the young artist. Yet Ray is predominantly known as an acrylic and oil artist.
Ray paints scenes of everyday life with a touch of subtle irony. His paintings do not make any statement and in fact Ray scoffs at artists who makes statements. Ray's works are for viewers to see and enjoy and then ponder over the hidden irony.

An homage to what it means to be Korean American with delectable recipes that explore how new culinary traditions can be forged to honor both your past and your present.
"This is such an important book. I savored every word and want to cook every recipe!"—Nigella Lawson, author of Cook, Eat, Repeat
ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED COOKBOOKS OF 2022—Time, Food52
New York Times staff writer Eric Kim grew up in Atlanta, the son of two Korean immigrants. Food has always been central to his story, from Friday-night Korean barbecue with his family to hybridized Korean-ish meals for one—like Gochujang-Buttered Radish Toast and Caramelized-Kimchi Baked Potatoes—that he makes in his tiny New York City apartment. In his debut cookbook, Eric shares these recipes alongside insightful, touching stories and stunning images shot by photographer Jenny Huang.
Playful, poignant, and vulnerable, Korean American also includes essays on subjects ranging from the life-changing act of leaving home and returning as an adult, to what Thanksgiving means to a first-generation family, complete with a full holiday menu—all the while teaching readers about the Korean pantry, the history of Korean cooking in America, and the importance of white rice in Korean cuisine. Recipes like Gochugaru Shrimp and Grits, Salt-and-Pepper Pork Chops with Vinegared Scallions, and Smashed Potatoes with Roasted-Seaweed Sour Cream Dip demonstrate Eric's prowess at introducing Korean pantry essentials to comforting American classics, while dishes such as Cheeseburger Kimbap and Crispy Lemon-Pepper Bulgogi with Quick-Pickled Shallots do the opposite by tinging traditional Korean favorites with beloved American flavor profiles. Baked goods like Milk Bread with Maple Syrup and Gochujang Chocolate Lava Cakes close out the narrative on a sweet note.
In this book of recipes and thoughtful insights, especially about his mother, Jean, Eric divulges not only what it means to be Korean American but how, through food and cooking, he found acceptance, strength, and the confidence to own his story.
Eric Kim is a New York Times staff food writer born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He worked his way through the literary and culinary world to eventually become a digital manager at Food Network and a senior editor at Food52, where he amassed a devoted readership for his "Table for One" column. He now hosts regular videos on NYT Cooking's YouTube channel. A former contributing editor at Saveur, Eric taught writing and literature at Columbia University, and his work has been featured in The Washington Post, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine. He lives with his rescue pup, Quentin Compson, in New York City.


This Easter Island retreat is a tribute to an Orongo ceremonial village and based partially on an ancestral boat house. It merges and blends with the environment, incorporating the grass roofs, colours and textures of the island to achieve this.
Respect for the island and its history are key; located on the main road of the town of Rapa Nui, Hangaroa is also seamlessly integrated with the community, allowing guests to interact with locals and their culture.
Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa thus affords a unique opportunity to experience Rapa Nui culture and the beauty of nature on Easter Island, and helps guests renew the spirit and soul.

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with health issues concerning the lower legs, ankles, and feet. Like any other branch of medicine, podiatry includes both preventive and curative forms of treatment for different types of ailments. Podiatry also includes long-term courses of treatment for chronic conditions that affect the ankle and foot. Podiatry was previously referred to as chiropody.
The name was changed in 1993 to reflect the increasing role this particular healthcare segment plays in overall health and well-being of patients. Today, podiatry is a very serious and focused medical discipline that is made up of thousands of specialized doctors known as Podiatrists.
Podiatrists are basically specialized clinical and surgical doctors that are highly trained and experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of health issues concerning, the lower leg (below the knee), ankle and foot. These specialized doctors are also qualified to offer advice on footwear, preventing infections and injuries as well as relieving foot pain. As you can see, podiatrists have a very unique and crucial role to play in every person's health and well-being.
Podiatry, as a branch of medicine, is also quite diverse. The diversity is evident in the different types of sub-disciplines it has. Some of the key sub-disciplines in this branch of medicine include; pediatrics or diabetes management, sports health and medicine, foot and lower leg dermatology, surgery and many more. Podiatrists, therefore, have several roles and responsibilities in their daily work. They begin by assisting people with the prevention of health problems that affect their ankles and feet. They provide patients with crucial information on self-care and foot management. You would be surprised by the wealth of information you can get from these highly trained specialists regarding how to take care of your feet and lower legs.
If you experience pain, inflammation, discomfort or any adverse symptoms in your feet or lower legs, it is highly recommended that you visit a Podiatrist. A podiatrist is able to diagnose whatever the ailment is that is troubling you. They are also able to provide you with an appropriate course of treatment and aftercare. You can find a registered and qualified podiatrist in any major hospital near you.
Some of the patients who go to hospitals complaining of pain, inflammation or discomfort in their feet may have sustained minor or severe fractures. These fractures or broken bones need to be carefully examined and diagnosed before a proper course of treatment can be determined.
Toenail issues are quite common. Some of the most common toenail problems include overly thick toenails, ingrown toenails, and toenails that have been blighted by a fungal infection. Podiatrists are trained to provide special laser treatment procedures that can rectify most toenail issues.
These are general problems that affect the feet. These are also very common and include conditions like athlete's foot, calluses, bunions, corns, verrucas, and many others. Most of these foot problems tend to cause a lot of discomfort, pain, swelling, and even embarrassment. Luckily, podiatrists are able to diagnose and identify the root causes of most of these issues. They then go ahead and provide suitable treatment options.
Fallen arches or flat feet are another health condition that podiatrists commonly deal with. Patients suffering from this problem require extensive treatment and aftercare. Treatment involves attempting to change the structure of the foot using various techniques such as surgery. If this is not possible, a podiatrist can help provide some much-needed relief to the patient by prescribing orthotics. Orthotics are specially designed to show inserts such as heel cushions, arch supports, and insoles that are meant to provide comfort to the wearer.
Podiatrists are also trained in the evaluation and assessment of different types of footwear. These professionals look at various criteria like support, comfort, weight, and durability. Everyone from small kids to adults can visit a podiatrist to get sound advice on the best shoes to wear, especially if you have a pre-existing foot problem.
You now know what podiatry is and what a podiatrist can do for you!
