I have been playing thru Mafia: Definitive Edition
It's... interesting.
Remake of a game from 20 years ago (2002). They modernized the controls and graphics, but I don't believe they changed anything else.
It was one of the first really well received "open world" games (basically it and Grand Theft Auto 3 were released within a few months of each other and were both considered way ahead of their time).
It's interesting to go back and play a game like this from 20 years ago. The map itself is really impressive and I really like how they modernized the graphics, it's all very sleek in that regard.
However, it reminds me of how far open world games have come since then.
For as large as the map is, there are gigantic sections of it that you literally only use once during the story... and some sections that you never use, outside of driving thru them to get to other areas of the map.
It is kind of frustrating because you can drive past the baseball stadium, and you can even walk up to it and see the field... but, you can't enter the stadium, and the stadium is never featured in the story and there is nothing to do around the stadium except for pick up one of the collectibles outside of it. There's dozens of landmarks like this... why take all the time to draw them and put them in the world, if they are just going to sit there unused?
Missed opportunities... lots of them.
It's very nostalgic though, and the story is good enough. Starts out really fun/interesting and as you progress it gets more and more ridiculous. (you start out trying to avoid a rival gang who are chasing you, and by the end you're killing dozens to hundreds of federal agents and manically laughing while doing so). That's how games of that era, and plenty of games today, are though.
Finished Hitman 3. Interesting game, definitely a different enough approach from other games to be quite refreshing. On each mission, you have 1-2 targets for which you can come up with a dozen different ways to assassinate in a clever manner. The maps are quite large, detailed, and heavily populated. You actually get penalized for killing non-targets, but you still have plenty of methods to wreak havoc non-lethally.
Can get a bit repetitive as once you accomplish your mission one way, there are a bunch of challenges for different ways you could have done it (e.g., strangle your target, drown your target, poison them, drop a chandelier on them, etc.) but really the extent to which you replay for those challenges is up to you, once you complete a mission you can just move on if you want. But there is some fun replay value in at least repeating each mission 4-5 times, IMO, and the differences in gameplay can be significant.

There must have been some crazy amazon deal going on AC Valhalla or something, on New Year's Day I spotted the PS5 version for $17 so grabbed it. I was on the fence about playing yet another AC game, but that deal and the positive reviews sealed it.
That's a sweet deal! I saw 60% off the "ultimate edition" for $60 and took it. I could have paid $34 for just the game (on sale for 50% off) but I got a few extra addons that I ended up enjoying so don't really regret the extra money.

Q: Is $\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}i=\binom{n}{2}$? How can I show that
$$
\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}i=\binom{n}{2}?
$$
This is what I have tried, but I do not know if it is correct:
Proof.
Let $n=2$. Then,
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{i=1}^{1}i&=1\text{, and}\\
\binom{2}{2}&=1.
\end{align}
$$
Hence, it holds. Assume that this is true for $k$. Then, we show that it is also true for $k+1$:
$$
\begin{align}
\sum_{i=1}^{k}i=k+\sum_{i=1}^{k-1}i&=k+\binom{k}{2}\\
&=k+\frac{k!}{2(k-2)!}\\
&=k+\frac{k(k-1)}{2}\\
&=\frac{k(k+1)}{2}\\
&=\frac{(k+1)!}{2!(k-1)!}=\binom{k+1}{2}.\square
\end{align}
$$
Also, proofs by induction are confusing to write. Is there a standard "skeleton" for them I can use?

A: If proof by induction is required, yours is fine.
We can alternately give a combinatorial proof. We have the $n$ numbers $1,2,\dots,n$ and want to choose $2$ of them. By definition this can be done in $\binom{n}{2}$ ways. Let us count the number of choices of any two numbers another way.
Perhaps the smaller of the two numbers chosen is $1$. Then the other number can be chosen in $n-1$ ways.
Perhaps the smaller of the two numbers chosen is $2$. Then the other number can be chosen in $n-2$ ways.
Perhaps the smaller of the two numbers chosen is $3$. Then the other number can be chosen in $n-3$ ways.
Continue in this way. The last possibility is that the smaller of the two numbers chosen is $n-1$. Then the other number can be chosen in $1$ way only.
Thus the number of possible choices of two numbers is
$$(n-1)+(n-2)+(n-3)+\cdots +2+1,$$
which is precisely $\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k$.

A: Hint:let $a_n=1+2+3+\dots+n$ then we have $$a_{n+1}-a_{n}=(1+2+3+\dots+n+n+1)-(1+2+3+\dots+n)=n+1 \color{red}{\to}$$$$ a_{n+1}-a_{n}=n+1 $$ easily by recursive relation we can find $a_n$ see here linear recurrence relation

A: A way to derive formulas like this that is easily remembered (to answer the comment "How are identities such as this one derived?"):
Consider that $$\sum_{k=1}^n (2k-1) = \sum_{k=1}^n \Big(k^2 - (k-1)^2\Big) $$ $$= 1^2 - 0^2 + 2^2 - 1^2 + 3^2 - 2^2 \pm ... \pm n^2 - (n-1)^2=n^2.$$
Together with $\sum_{k=1}^n 1 = n$ this immediately gives $$\sum_{k=1}^n k = \frac{n^2 + n}{2}.$$
It could be argued that the "telescoping sum" above requires induction to justify formally, but it seems more intuitive than the sum $\sum_{k=1}^n k$ itself.

A: How many unordered pairs of $n$ elements are there?
One can pair the first element with any of $n-1$ others.
One can pair the second element with any of $n-2$ other (besides the first one, which was already listed above).
One can pair the third element with any of $n-3$ other (besides the first two, which were already listed above).
One can pair the fourth element with any of $n-4$ other (besides the first three, which were already listed above).
 . . . and so on . . . . . .

A: An "indirect" proof would be to use the fact that $$\sum_{k=1}^{n}k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$

A: In general $$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\binom{i}{k}=\binom{n+1}{k+1}$$
Yours is the case $k=1$. You can prove this in the same way you did the case $k=1$, by using Pascal's rule.

18.2 Million Watched All Of Stranger Things 3 In First Few Days
July 24, 2019 6:00 AM ‐ Television • Stranger Things • Netflix
The third season of Stranger Things has broken Netflix's record for the most viewed season in the first four days and almost a million viewers watched it all in the first 24 hours.
The streaming service announced the mind-blowing numbers in a tweet, boasting that "40.7 million households have watched the third season of Stranger Things" in the first four days it was available on the streaming platform.
That means it has attracted more views in the first four days than any other film or series has achieved in the history of Netflix. The company counts a "view" as any account that makes it through at least 70% of an episode or film.
If this statistic isn't impressive enough, 18.2 million accounts have finished watching the entire third season during the four-day time period.
.@Stranger_Things 3 is breaking Netflix records!
40.7 million household accounts have been watching the show since its July 4 global launch — more than any other film or series in its first four days. And 18.2 million have already finished the entire season.
— Netflix US (@netflix) July 8, 2019
Nielsen, a research company that produces ratings for the television industry, say that in the US alone 19.17 million viewers watched the first episode between July 4th and 8th - and that's only counting views on a television, not laptop, tablets or phones. For comparison, the premiere of the latest season of 'Game of Thrones' brought in 17.4 million viewers.
To put that into perspective, The Hollywood Reporter says that this would make Stranger Things the second most watched program during that time period, behind the Women's World Cup final.
Nielsen's research found that 824,000 people watched the entire third series on July 4th, the day it premiered.
Probably the weirdest statistic to come out of the research is that 1.35 million viewers skipped episode seven entirely and jumped straight to the season finale. Who even does that?
As season three clearly out performed the previous season, it now seems more certain than ever that Netflix will soon confirm that there will be a forth season. We're expecting an official announcement soon.

Here it is.....you cheeky git!
The Blues reclaimed fifth spot from opponents Marine thanks to Matty Appleby's well-placed second-half free-kick at the Turnbull Ground on Saturday.
Whitby Town manager Lee Nogan made two changes from the side that suffered a first defeat in six at Mossley on Tuesday night. Out went young makeshift winger Tom Claisse and the unavailable Graham Robinson, with Dave McTiernan and defender Aron Wilford making their first starts since Town's infamous FA Cup exit last month.
It took 14 minutes for Whitby to threaten Marine keeper Andy Ralph's goal, but when they did, two good chances arrived in quick succession. Firstly, Ant Ormerod knocked on for Tom Raw to inexplicably fire high over the bar from point-blank range. Then, moments later, Ralph dropped the ball under pressure in a crowded penalty area following a Whitby corner, Danny Brunskill crossed from the edge of the box, and James Drinkall headed narrowly wide from 12 yards.
So it was a little against the run of play when the visitors grabbed the lead on 21 minutes. From their first meaningful attack, the Mariners won a corner, with Wayne McDermott's cross flicked on by Mike O'Donnell and the unlikely figure of centre-half James Dever, given time and space to fire home expertly low on-the-turn past Dave Campbell for 1-0.
Whitby then went straight up the other end and Raw took a blow to the back of the head for his trouble after impressively outjumping a taller opponent and bravely nodding just wide from the edge of the box.
Alvin MacDonald's side weren't content to sit on their early lead though, and Carl Nesbitt's low drive brought an equally gutsy block from Appleby- throwing himself full-length in front of the ball on the edge of the Whitby box.
The half-hour mark saw not the ball, but sod's law, strike the former Barnsley man, after Brunskill was adjudged to have taken the ball over the touchline before crossing for Appleby to volley home majestically from the arc of the area, this time at the other end of the pitch.
Five minutes before the break, and Brunskill - in the midst of a minor goal drought - hammered a vicious left-foot drive wide of Ralph's right-hand post from distance with the ball always curling away from goal.
Despite the chances, Town gave a lazy showing in the first period with the away side first just about everything. The half-time break seemed longer than usual, probably due to a strongly-worded team-talk from Town's manager.
If that was the case, then Nogan's words must've hit home as Town equalised just two minutes after the restart. Many supporters were still finishing their half-time refreshments in the clubhouse, seemingly joined by a couple of Marine defenders, as the visitors returned the favour for their first half opener. Good work from Ant Ormerod saw the ball drilled across goal for the unmarked McTiernan, lurking at the far post, to poke past Ralph from close range.
However, with christmas just 70-odd shopping days away, Whitby seemed determined the visitors weren't going to leave the ground empty-handed and almost conspired to hand them back the lead eight minutes later. A routine through ball for former Vauxhall striker Nicky Young was chased down by Wilford and Tom Reid. Keeper Campbell came to collect, only for the three to get in a muddle which resulted in Wilford striking a desperate clearance against Young to grab a very fortunate goal-kick.
At the other end, Brunskill's four-game goal-less streak should've been halted after two guilt-edge chances came the ex-Durham man's way. First, the big striker headed goalwards at the far post, but saw Ralph brilliantly pluck the ball out of the air, albeit at a good height for the former Tranmere gloveman. Then within a couple of minutes, McTiernan beat the offside trap on the edge of the box and squared for Brunskill to surely fire home with just Ralph and a defender in front of him. But the big marksman's low drive was tipped round the post at full-stretch. However, the hands were not those of Ralph, but instead, owned by the covering defender- young referee Mr Joyce awarded only a corner.
Young then reminded Town that the result was still in the balance with 20 minutes remaining, blasting a ferocious effort on the turn from the edge of the box that flew millimetres over the Whitby crossbar.
The home side were then convinced they'd been awarded a belated penalty when Drinkall was tripped- but the official signalled a free-kick right on the edge of the area. Marine's reprieve lasted a matter of seconds though, before Appleby, who had unsuccessfully opted to try a training-ground like pass off to Brunskill from a similar position moments earlier, this time shot direct, curling the ball neatly round the oddly-positioned wall and past Ralph's despairing left hand for 2-1.
But Marine had a glorious opportunity to even things up nine minutes from time, when subsitute Tommy Taylor struck the outside of the post via Campbell's glove with only the Whitby keeper to beat from 12 yards.
Right-back Neil Wilkinson replaced left-back Phil Brumwell with seven minutes left, and the former Hartlepool man and his defensive colleagues were kept busy right until the final whistle as the ball spent most of its time in the Town half. In-between Drinkall struck a tame effort straight at Ralph from just inside the visitors' box. Ralph himself was a little lucky to recieve just a booking after mis-judging a high ball he contested with Raw and jumped right out of his penalty area. A yellow card was shown to the keeper, but team-mate Paul Byrne wasn't so fortunate and summed up the Merseysiders' afternoon- the South-African midfielder recieving a straight red after a clash involving several players on the half way line a minute from time.

Maryland's elected officials in Annapolis believe that reducing the number of handguns on the street, even if carried by law-abiding citizens, will reduce the level of handgun violence in Maryland. They achieve this goal by requiring anyone applying for a concealed-carry permit to prove they have a "good and substantial reason" for wanting to carry a concealed handgun.
The proof required is substantial and results in almost no one getting a concealed-carry permit. This restriction might be acceptable if our elected officials could prove they are correct, and that simply reducing the total number of handguns on the street does, in fact, reduce the level of handgun violence. However, no such proof has ever been offered and the folks in Annapolis don't seem to feel the need to offer any.

Bike Locally from macskabicska on Vimeo.
A new bicycle culture is developing in Hungary, Budapest. Last year the amount of everyday cyclists has been doubled. It is important and useful that more and more people use bicycle as a way of traveling. Bikers swamp the streets usually when the weather is warm, but in the cold season they almost entirely disappear from the roads.
In my video, I wanted to indicate that biking is an option in this city in winter as well, at least for small distances.

Q: Ranger - cd into nth folder I found the command I want to use: cd $(ls -d */|head -n 1) and it works as expected when I do it in the terminal. However when I map it in ranger (either with map g1 cd... or map g1 shell cd...) I don't get it to work.
Could it be that ranger doesn't support nested commands?
Edit:
The answer works, for clarity sake what I wanted to do was to have one keybinding in ranger that cd's me into the first of the currently visible folders, one keybinding that cd's me into the second etc. Also for example to cd into the third folder I discovered that I need to use cd $(ls -d */ |head -n 3 | tail -1) which in line with the answer would translate to
map g3 eval from ranger.ext.spawn import spawn; fm.cd(spawn("ls -d */|head -n 3| tail -1").strip())

A: While you did not say what you are trying to achieve, to cd $(ls -d */|head -n 1) within ranger you need to use:
map g1 eval from ranger.ext.spawn import spawn; fm.cd(spawn("ls -d */|head -n 1").strip())

May Day is just the beginning!
The beginning to a month of worldwide events and festivities that is. Orthodox Christians will observe Easter on May 5 while Buddhists will celebrate Vesak Day (Buddha Day) on May 24. Those with a more secular focus might be awaiting the annular solar eclipse that will occur on May 10. There are of course the usual crop of national days, which serve as a good opportunity to renew ties with international friends. Below is our list of key world events for May.
If you have friends from England, the Netherlands, South Africa or Tanzania, to name a few, then April would be a very good time to send them greetings, since each of those countries has something to celebrate during that month. Of course April kicks off with April Fools' Day but you won't look so foolish if you wish someone from England a happy St George's Day on April 23. Send a FlagAndMap greeting card with the appropriate national design and you'll look even smarter. Below is a list of national days in April.
It's been another busy start to the year for FlagAndMap with a relocation to another corner of the globe. Our creativity has been put on hold and updates have become infrequent, for which we apologize. We hope you found something to celebrate during the first quarter of 2013. We just missed being in Australia for Australia Day (January 26) but were here for the Grand Prix some weeks later. February 10 saw the Chinese welcome in a new year and of course St Patrick's Day was celebrated in many places on March 17. We failed to publish our monthly reminder of upcoming events during the first quarter but if you wish to review them please take a look at our current list of 2013 world events.


I work in Newport, RI a lot. Whenever I do, I ALWAYS try to stop at the beach. I love photographing the waves. They are always different depending on the weather and today they were pure aqua/gray.
While I was watching the waves crash I noticed one of the seagulls messing with a seashell. He was clearly trying to eat whatever was inside. Then the coolest thing happened. The seagull grabbed the shell, flew up into the air + would drop it back on the ground. He was trying to smash it open!! He did it over and over... I couldn't stop watching. He moved so quickly it was hard to capture on camera. However I did get a few shots with the shell in in his mouth in the air. Check them out below.


Well, I'm still working at refining the design of my game project mentioned in my last entry. And since back then, alone the document in which I wrote down changes and additions to the initial gamedesign is already 10 pages long. So the ideas are flowing and everything is coming together. And this also is the first time that I ever invested so much time in writing a game-design document. Up until now I usually just wrote down outlines of my idea and implemented the details while coding, which works fine for arcade-like games (see e.g. my Bomberman-clone or Terrorcide), but not for a more complex game-type like a roundbases-strategygame I'm working on right now. So when I'm finally finished with that document I can directly start to create content (graphics, 3D-models, etc.) and coding, without having to worry about implementing details of the gameplay.
And on another side-node : I started implementing a COLLADA-exporter into the NewtonPlayGround, after an internal discussion over at the Newton-SDK-Developer forum. Since this is an industry-wide format which also is open, it's great for unified distribution of 3D-scenes, and when at least all SDK-developers support it, it would help users of Newton to load (and also find) scenes for their newton demos. But I myself don't really like COLLADA very much, it's so bloated and exporting even smaller scenes create huge files with dozens of nodes which makes writing an exporter very exhausting.

The account by Daily Writing Tips that Roaring Fish presents is correct for the recent history. But it stops about 2000 years ago, when it actually goes back at least 4000.
The root in each of these words comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *genə- (or *gen-), meaning 'birth' and all the concepts attendant on it -- including noble birth, which gives rise to both the English words kind and gentle, which were once used to talk about the way those of noble birth behaved.
Some of the other descendants (Cognates, literally 'born together') of PIE *genə- are shown in this chart, which distinguishes literal descent from borrowings; after a few generations nobody notices whether a word is "native" or not, anyway.

Almighty God, who in infinite wisdom determined that I should live my life within these narrow bounds of time and circumstance, let me go forth into the world with a brave and trusting heart. It is your will to withhold from me a perfect knowledge; therefore deny me not the grace of faith by which I may lay hold of things unseen. You have given me little power to mold things to my own desire; therefore use your own power to bring your desires to pass within me. You have willed it that through labor and pain I should walk the upward way; be then my fellow traveler as I go.
Let me face whatever you send with the strength you supply.
When you prosper my undertakings, let me give heed so that your word may prosper in my heart.
When you call me to go through the dark valley, let me not persuade myself that I know a way around.
Let me not refuse any opportunity of service which may offer itself today, nor fall prey to any temptation that may lie in wait for me.
O Lord Jesus Christ, who bids your disciples to shine as lights in a dark world, in shame and contrition of heart do I acknowledge before you the many faults and weaknesses of which we in the church today are guilty; and especially do I acknowledge my own part in the same. Forgive me for the feebleness of my witness, the smallness of my charity, and the slackness of my zeal. Make me to be a more worthy follower of Him who cared for the poor and the oppressed, and who could never see any kind of human need without turning aside to help.
Let your power, O Lord, be in us all, as we seek to serve you in this suffering world. Amen.
The grace of steadfastness in continuing to desire that you will do as now I pray.
Dear Father of all, make me the human channel, so far as in me lies, through which your divine love and pity may reach the hearts and lives of those who are nearest to me. Amen.
Galatians 6:16a…22-23 — Walk by the Spirit… (and) the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Psalm 4:8 — In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.


This workout felt much better than the 800s from a few weeks ago. The last 2 800s were tough, but overall pace felt rigjt.
Great workout today to close out a 70 mile week including a strong interval session on Wednesday. The marathon pace felt comfortable and in the right range with 5 weeks to go until Boston.
This was my first time doing mile intervals in a long time and it felt really good today.
12 miles in 1:23:10. Today was a hybrid interval/LT workout.
Half Marathon today in Philly. It was cold today, about 30 degrees at the start with wind chill in the low 20s, so I decided to wear tights and a cold gear top. Wind was about 8mph from the north with gusts up to 15.
The race went very well and my splits were pretty consistent given the wind and the one large hill around mile 8. I got a little side cramp around 7 miles while running into the wind so I struggled a bit up the hill and for a bit afterwards. The cramp went away as we hit the downhill and I picked up the pace a bit for miles 9-13 when we hit the turnaround and we had a bit of a tailwind.
As the early miles felt good at the pace I was running, I decided to go for sub-1:23 which is the half marathon qualifying standard for my age to bypass the lottery process for NYC Mararthon. I had fallen off pace slighly after the cramp/hill mile, but picking up the pace for the final 4-5 miles got me under 1:23. It was a PR by about a minute that I ran about 4.5 years ago on a flatter course and I my time on this course last year was 1:27:09, so this one felt really good today.
I am right where I want to be 3 weeks before Boston (shooting for sub 2:55).
Great morning for a race in New Orleans, about 60 degrees at the start and little wind. I wanted to run this sub 6:00 pace and got just under that pace, but my pacing was a little too quick during the first 5k and hung on my best for the final 5k.
Mile splits were 5:48, 5:52, 5:55, 6:00, 6:01, 6:01, 5:57 estimate for final .2.
This one felt really good as it was a significant improvement since the 10k PR in Phoenix in early February. The speedwork has clearly paid off. Going to let loose a bit today post run in NOLA then two weeks of easy running before Boston.


Is there an app for that? Yes a .app!
Is there an app for that? This has become a very popular expression – and not just among the young. The app is the future and the world of app developers is booming. They have all been waiting for their own .app extension.
And now it is coming. An .app domain name is of course absolutely essential for all developers and software companies specialised in apps. But app stores, telecom companies, mobile phone manufacturers and app forums will also benefit from an .app domain name.
It is important to act fast though. A great deal of interest is expected for this .app extension. Companies that develop high-ranking apps and other popular companies should be particularly alert. Domain hijackers are always on the lookout for sought after domain names linked to a new extension. Their eagerness will be even greater if a brand or product name hasn't yet been registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse.
On the other hand, this is the time to use the .app extension to register for your own use that great domain name currently being used by someone else. This will put you a step ahead of your competitors.
The most important argument to register an .app domain name has to be to enable your target group to find you easily online. This will enable you to achieve the online success you hoped for.
It is not yet clear when the .app extension will go on general sale to the public. The roll out of this extension in currently in the sunrise period. During this phase, the brand name proprietors registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse have a preferential right to link their name or product to the .app extension. This will be followed by the landrush phase and only then by the general sale.
However, this doesn't stop you pre-registering for an .app domain name now, so you will be eligible if it does go on general sale. Are you the registered proprietor of a brand name? Then contact our Customer Services now. If you are not, but see opportunities for your business, then pre-register with Vevida now. We will keep you updated of the latest developments.

Blind Horse Knives Woodsman Pro Review
Custom knives are a lot like other custom toys; cars, motorcycles, firearms, etc. You'll find overpriced junk, and you'll occasionally run across a real bargain by a manufacturer who's just doing things right. Let me introduce you to one of the latter, built by the folks at the Blind Horse Knives, called the Woodsman Pro. In this article, Woods Monkey takes a long look at the great, USA Made, Woodsman Pro, and we find out if it's capable of keeping up with the rest of the horses in the stable.
Blind Horse Knives has been in the knife building business for years. I remember buying knives from BHK back when they were cutting their knife blanks out of old saw blades. Those were great knives, and I still have one of them (the others all went to friends as gifts). But the new generation of blades from BHK is second to none. These are hand built from the ground up, exactly how the guys at BHK want them to be.
The Woodsman Pro was designed from a blank page to be an all-around woods tool. Call it bushcraft, camp craft, camping, woods running, or general woods bumming, the Woodsman Pro was made to do everything you would need in virtually any scenario. It will cut your firewood, strike your firesteel, carve your tent stakes, make your cane pole, and clean your fish. The Woodsman Pro will be constantly at the ready in the excellent sheath, and won't let you down when it's time to get to work.
Made of O1 tool steel, the Woodsman Pro takes and holds an excellent edge. O1 steel is a high carbon tool steel, so yes, it'll rust. But before you go and flip your lid that this isn't the latest-greatest, high-speed, super stainless, remember: The known world has been conquered over and over again using stone tools, bronze swords, and carbon steel rifles. If you're worried about O1, quit reading this now and go ArmorAll your tires…. Moving along, my version is scandi-ground in the correct fashion. This means it's sans any secondary bevel making the knife cut like the dickens. The new version of this knife will be in a sabre grind, my favorite knife grind actually. This takes the benefits of the scandi grind (incredible woodworking ability) and brings the taper higher up the blade. This lends strength to the edge and when coupled with the full flat grind, provides extremely good edge strength.
The 4" cutting edge's slicing capability is amazing. Four inches seems to be just right, long enough to process game and short enough to be handy. My previous favorite hunting knife came right in at a 4" blade , and it had sliced up everything from geese to elk. The Woodsman Pro will get that assignment now…. And the O1 has the strength to take the abuse without having to be a sharpened prybar. Use the Woodsman Pro for woodworking, and you'll never go back to a thick beveled knife again.
The next best attribute of the Woodsman Pro is the handle. If you're a frequent Woods Monkey reader you know my opinions on knife handles, they have to be comfortable and useable without any doo-dads or sharp angles. The Woodsman Pro knocks this out of the park. The handle is smooth, round, and gradually increases in diameter from hilt to pommel. Perfect. Round. And Smooth. I used the Woodsman Pro for several hours at a time during testing and never felt so much as an uncomfortable spot anywhere, in multiple types of grips. Equally, the 4.75" long handle is long enough to use while wearing gloves. The epoxied and pinned on green Micarta cleans easily. Transmission oil, fish blood, and sweat were all scrubbed away with a little soap and water.
What brings this combination of knife blade and handle into the realm of a true bush tool is the sheath you'll be carrying it around in. This sheath is built like a tank, and I'm a stickler for good leatherwork. The fold-over, pouch style sheath is built of thick leather, and dyed deep brown. The stitching is evenly done in two rows protected by a thick welt. Hollow rivets are found at the top and bottom, and can be used to tie the knife to other gear as necessary. The fire steel loop fits my Army sized fire steel, which is secured in place by a loop of shock cord. On the back of the sheath you'll find two belt loops and steel "D" shaped hanger. The dangler style belt loop is removable via a Chicago-screw. While a lot of guys like a dangler sheath, I'm not one of them. I prefer the knife be held snug to my body and not constantly swinging into my leg. Removal of the dangler loop was easy, and the stitched on loop held the Woodsman Pro tight and secure when worn on my belt.
I have used the Woodsman Pro for all sorts of tasks over the past month. I first received the knife just days before I left for a trip to Louisiana. Knowing I'd be doing some fishing, I decided to bring the Woodsman Pro along. Out on the water the Woodsman Pro zipped through fishing line, trot line, and dried up rope still left on the boat cleats. After a poor bass fishing afternoon, we shifted our focus to catfish, a critter I'm particularly adept at putting in the cooler. While running yo-yo's at night I found the integral half guard a very nice feature. I could draw the knife and do what I needed to do while indexing the knife in my hand in the dark. I never had to look to find out where the edge was. The big lanyard hole made securing the knife to my wrist via a piece of string standing in as a lanyard very simple, and really led to my peace of mind while working over the water. After a night of fishing, and quite frankly, beer drinking, there was some fish cleaning to do the next morning.
I took the biggest three catfish, all over four pounds, and set to work with them with the Woodsman Pro. Normally, this is a job reserved for a thin bladed fillet knife and a pair of skinning pliers. But I was testing the Woodsman Pro, so all that kit stayed in the camp. I filleted the fish, flipped the fillet over, and did the same to the skin side to remove the skin. While I did lose a bit of meat to the not-flexible-at-all Woodsman Pro's blade, the job was quick and simple. I'd prefer a fillet knife for this task, but after another dozen fish, I feel like I'd have it down pat and do a good job at it. The acidity of the catfish left a very cool patina on the knife. Kinda a marbled rainbow pattern. Patina is the name of the game when using carbon steels, and I really like the way this one came out.
On a woods hike back in Colorado, I really stretched the legs on the Woodsman Pro. I started first with fire building. Taking some dead juniper and splitting it apart into pencil sized pieces was an easy task. I then made some long curls off another piece and then mixed them into a tinder bundle with some dry grass and super fine bark scrapings. The spine of the Woodsman Pro was intentionally left squared off so it would throw sparks from a fire steel. And throw sparks it does! The second try had it, and my tinder bundle was lit and blazing away. All totaled, I had a sustainable fire going in under five minutes. Another ten minutes gathering fire wood and a lunch fire or warmth fire would be a straight forward operation.
Since I wanted to see how the Woodsman Pro would do with finer wood work, I decided to make a simple trap arrangement that I've used a zillion times. Most commonly known as a 'twitch-up' snare trap when used with a bent branch as the tension, I opted to go for a heavy rock suspended over a tree branch instead. A friend and I were recently talking about early warning systems for camping to alert us when black bears come looking for snacks (all too common in Colorado, and it's happened to him before), and I thought this was simple, fast, and would probably scare us as much as the bear. Carving out the trigger and sear notches were quick and simple, the stout handle of the Woodsman Pro really made fine work with the tip very comfortable. Sharpening the sear stick and driving it into the ground was the next step. Then, I tied a heavy rock to the end of some parachute cord, suspended it over a tree branch, and secured the other end of the cord to the trigger stick. When the notches were engaged, the rock hung awaiting the trigger to be set free via the trip wire that was simply the rest of the parachute cord tied to a nearby bush. This arrangement took less than ten minutes, and with a tin can full of rocks tied to it, it would let campers know of a lumbering bruin looking for a midnight snack. Imagination is your only limitation here, as this could have easily been a snare for small game, or an alarm for oncoming predators. Either way, the Woodsman Pro was the perfect tool for the job.
Back around the house I've used the Woodsman Pro for everything from breaking down cardboard boxes, to scraping fouling off an AR15 bolt (the spine of the blade), to cleaning off the drain plug to a friend's transfer case in his 4×4 during some repair work. The Woodsman Pro has handled it all. And if this sounds like I really like this knife, it's because I do. If I had to find something to complain about for the sake of evenness, it would be the D-ring on the belt loop. While elk hunting, the D-ring tended to 'clink' into the handle, making a very man-made noise in an otherwise quiet environment. I ended up pack carrying my Woodsman Pro because of this, which isn't an issue for me while hunting. Besides that, I couldn't find anything I dislike. I rarely, I mean rarely, throw that much positive 'thumbs-up-ed-ness' behind anything, but the Woodsman Pro deserves it. It's fantastic, and I plan on it being on my belt for years to come.
The Woodsman Pro is a limited run knife, but is available directly from Blind Horse Knives for about $165. While a bit expensive, you certainly get the quality you'd expect for that kind of cash. And while it's not my dream, custom hot-rod, I'm very happy with it. If you're in the market for an heirloom quality knife for any outdoors work that may come down the road, I'd give a long, hard look at the Woodsman Pro. I did, and I'll never look back.
Blind Horse Knives is now L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives and Battle

Just Keeps Getting Worse: Services Trade Surplus, the American Dream Not-Come-True, Falls to 9-Year Low, Total Trade Deficit Explodes to Worst Ever
Wolf Richter , 04 May 2021
Back when globalization by Corporate America was still a good thing, anxieties about the ballooning trade deficit in goods were medicated away with promises that exports of services – such as software, movies, and Wall Street efforts to financialize everything – would boom and balance out the trade. We'd buy cheap goods made in other countries, and they'd buy our expensive services, and it would all balance out. That was the rationale. Few economic rationales have failed more spectacularly.
Promised export boom of services turned out to be fake. Continue reading "Article: Just Keeps Getting Worse: Services Trade Surplus, the American Dream Not-Come-True, Falls to 9-Year Low, Total Trade Deficit Explodes to Worst Ever"

Wall Street may own the country, as Kansas populist leader Mary Elizabeth Lease once declared, but a new generation of "retail" stock market traders is fighting back.
Ellen Brown, SheerPost, 10 February 2021
A short squeeze frenzy driven by a new generation of gamers captured financial headlines in recent weeks, centered on a struggling strip mall video game store called GameStop. The Internet and a year off in this shut down to study up have given a younger generation of investors the tools to compete in the market. Gerald Celente calls it the "Youth Revolution." A group of New York Young Republicans who protested in the snow on January 31 called it "Re-occupy Wall Street." Others have called it Occupy Wall Street 2.0.

Regulators across Europe clash over bans on short selling

Financial Times, 30 March 2020
France, Spain and Italy issued one-day prohibitions against betting on falling share prices for selected companies — and then longer bans of between one and three months, applied to all stocks listed on their domestic markets. Belgium, Austria and Greece swiftly followed suit, while Esma, the pan-European regulator, demanded tighter standards on reporting of short positions. Markus Ferber, an influential European MEP, urged a co-ordinated ban across the continent. But the clampdown has been partial.

Wolf Richter, 09 December 2019
Celadon Group, one of the larger full-truckload operators in the US with about 3,000 drivers and about 2,700 tractors, said today – confirming days of rumors – that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is ceasing operations. This is the largest truckload carrier ever to file for bankruptcy in US history.
The drivers, hauling loads across the US, Canada, and Mexico were apparently among the last to be informed. According to Freight Waves, they received this message in the middle of the night on their telematics devices: Continue reading "Article: Accounting Fraud & Freight Recession Topple Celadon, Largest Truckload-Carrier Bankruptcy in US History"

Forced End of "Ponzi-Like Leverage" & "Fraudulent Lending" Turns Australia's House Price Bubble into "Property Bloodbath"
Wolf Richter, 19 February 2019
As investors are fleeing Australia's housing bust, sales of new houses have plunged to record lows, and home prices in the Sydney and Melbourne metros have dropped 12% and 9% from their respective peaks in mid and late 2017. Combined, the two metros account for about two-thirds of residential property value in Australia. A two-decade-long housing boom, interrupted by only a few minor dips, led to two of the most magnificent housing bubbles in the world, and they're not "plateauing" or anything.

European Bailout Fund For Greek Money Laundering And Fraud
Wolf Richter, 18 November 2011
The ink wasn't even dry yet on the European bailout fund, the EFSF when it paid $1.3 billion to bail out Proton Bank in Greece. Turns out, Proton had siphoned off $1 billion in a scheme of fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and offshore front companies, according to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. And then a bomb exploded.
The bomb, fabricated of dynamite, demolished four cars in front of a building in Halandri, a suburb of Athens. Not a coincidence: in the building lived a senior employee of the Bank of Greece, whose meticulous investigation of Proton Bank had exposed the massive criminal scheme. According to the police, the bomb was intended as a warning to those who attempt to shed light on these kinds of machinations.

Exposed by a Short Seller, Luckin Coffee, another Chinese Company that Defrauded US Investors, Filed for Bankruptcy in New York Today
Luckin Coffee, a Starbucks imitator and one of many Chinese companies with no operations in the US that have their IPOs in the US and raise funds in the US, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in New York today. The downfall of Luckin was triggered by short seller Carson Block of Muddy Waters that published detailed allegations on January 31, 2020, of massive fraud at the company, perpetrated at the highest levels.
By the time the Muddy Waters report came out, the company's stock – well, American Depositary Receipt (ADR) – had skyrocketed from the IPO price of $17 a share in May 2019, to $50 a share in January 2020, giving the company a market capitalization (share price times shares outstanding) of $12.6 billion.

Q: Is VS2015 C++ profiler usless when it comes to getting line numers/functions I wanted to test out VS2015 C++ profiler and since it was crashing on creating detailed report I have upgraded VS2015 to Update1.
Still now when I click on profiling and after it is done to create detailed report and
select Current View: Functions
It only shows MyExecutable.exe instead of functions
when I do select Current View: Lines
It shows the same(executable name) and no lines, and helpfully Source line begin and other related columns all show 0.
Additionally it complains
Failed to load symbols for C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll
Although I have checked Microsoft Symbol Servers in the symbol settings.
So basically what I am asking are people able to obtain C++ profiling information using VS2015 Update1 on Win7 or is it just a buggy feature that does not really work.

A: One of the possible reasons is that symbols are not resolved successfully for MyExecutable.exe. Please ensure that:

*

*You can set and hit breakpoint when debugging your application.

*There is no "Failed to load symbols" log message for MyExecutable.exe when opening detailed report.

*Function names are shown in call tree of CPU Usage tool (this and this screenshot clarify what I mean).

While going through journal entries, I found an attempt at a joke and an explanation of that joke.
The paper blew (past tense) all over because Chicago is The Windy City and some careless environmental desecrator left her copy of The Tribune on a park bench (I'm assuming Chicago has parks [or at least park benches] because I've never been there).
I have since been to Chicago and noticed a park and park benches. I have not, however, improved my joke writing one iota.

Vahana (Sanskrit: वाहन, Vāhana, literally "that which carries, that which pulls") denotes the being, typically an animal or mythical entity, a particular Hindu deity is said to use as a vehicle. In this capacity, the vahana is often called the deity's "mount". Upon the partnership between the deity and his vahana is woven much iconography and mythology. Deities are often depicted riding (or simply mounted upon) the vahana. Other times, the vahana is depicted at the deity's side or symbolically represented as a divine attribute. The vahana may be considered an accoutrement[1] of the deity: though the vahana may act independently, they are still functionally emblematic or even syntagmatic of their "rider". The deity may be seen sitting or on, or standing on, the vahana. They may be sitting on a small platform called a howdah, or riding on a saddle or bareback.[2] Vah in Sanskrit means to carry or to transport.

In Hindu iconography, positive aspects of the vehicle are often emblematic of the deity that it carries. Nandi the bull, vehicle of Shiva, represents strength and virility. Parvani the peacock, vehicle of Skanda, represents splendor and majesty. The hamsa, vehicle of Saraswati, represents wisdom, grace and beauty.
However, the vehicle animal also symbolizes the evil forces over which the deity dominates. Mounted on Parvani, Skanda reins in the peacock's vanity. Seated on Mushika, Ganesh crushes useless thoughts, which multiply like rats in the dark. Shani, protector of property, has a vulture, raven or crow in which he represses thieving tendencies. Under Shani's influence, the vahana can make even malevolent events bring hope.
Origin folklore
A Bhagavata Purana manuscript page depicting the story of Atri and Anasuya meeting the Trimurti riding on their respective vahanas. (PhP 4.1.21-25). (Paper, late 18th century, Jaipur).
The vehicle of a deity can vary according to the source, the time, and the place. In popular tradition, the origin of each vehicle is told in thousands of different ways. Three examples:
While the god Ganesha was still a child, a giant mouse began to terrorize all his friends. Ganesha trapped him with his lasso and made him his mount. Mushika was originally a gandharva, or celestial musician. After absent mindedly walking over the feet of a rishi (sage) named Vamadeva, Mushika was cursed and transformed into a mouse. However, after the rishi recovered his temper, he promised Mushika that one day, the gods themselves would bow down before him. The prophecy was fulfilled when the mouse became the vahana of Ganesha.
Before becoming the vehicle of Shiva, Nandi was a deity called Nandikeshvara, lord of joy and master of music and dance. Then, without warning, his name and his functions were transferred to the aspect of Shiva known as the deity Nataraja. From half-man, half-bull, he became simply a bull. Since that time, he has watched over each of Shiva's temples, always looking towards him.
Kartikeya, the war-god known as Murugan in Southern India, is also mounted on a peacock. This peacock was originally a demon called Surapadma, while the rooster was called the angel[Krichi]. After provoking Murugan in combat, the demon repented at the moment his lance descended upon him. He took the form of a tree and began to pray. The tree was cut in two. From one half, Murugan pulled a rooster, which he made his emblem, and from the other, a peacock, which he made his mount. In another version, Karthikeya was born to kill the demon, Tarakasura. He was raised by the Krittikas and led the divine armies when he was 6 days old. It is said that after defeating Tarakasura, the god forgave him and transformed him into his ride, the peacock.
Origin theories
The vahana and deity to which they support are in a reciprocal relationship. Vahana serve and are served in turn by those who engage them. Many vahana may also have divine powers or a divine history of their own. Case in point, the aforementioned Nataraja story, represents a conflation of Hindu gods with local gods, syncretizing their mythos as their territories began to overlap. According to one source, "they could be a synthesis between Vedic deities and autochthonous Dravidian totemic deities.
Compared to other belief systems
The animal correspondences of Hindu vehicles are not consistent with Greek and Roman mythology, or other belief systems which may tie a particular animal to a particular deity. For example, the goddess Lakshmi of the Hindus has elephants, or an owl, or (a rare instance of a non-animal vehicle) the lotus blossom as her vehicle. The goddess Athena of ancient Greece also had an owl as her emblematic familiar, but the meanings invested in the owls by the two different belief systems are not the same, nor are the two goddesses themselves similar, despite their mutual identification with owls.
Lakshmi is, among other things, primarily the goddess of wealth, and her owl is a warning against distrust and isolationism, even selfishness. Athena, though also a goddess of prosperity, is primarily the goddess of wisdom, and her owl symbolizes secret knowledge and scholarship. Perhaps due to their shared geography, the Greco-Roman interpretation is paralleled in Roman Catholic iconography, in which St. Jerome, most famed for editing the New Testament, is often (though not always) depicted with an owl as a symbol of wisdom and scholarship.[3] Depending on the tribe, Native American religious iconography attributes a wide range of attributes to the owl, both positive and negative, as do the Ainu and Russian cultures, but none parallel the Hindu attributes assigned to the owl as Lakshmi's divine vehicle.[4]
Some hold that similar analyses could be performed cross-culturally for any of the other Hindu divine vehicles, and in each case, any parallels with the values assigned to animal totems in other cultures are likely to be either coincidence, or inevitable (as in linking bulls to fertility), rather than evidence of parallel development. In dialectic, this is countered by the retort that each totem or vahana, as an aspect of ishta-devata (or an ishta-devata or asura in its own right), has innumerable ineffable teachings, insights and spiritual wisdom; comparative analysis yields benefit, though knowledge and understanding is not served by collapsing their qualities into homogenous signification.

These correspondences are not always consistent. Ganesh, for example, is sometimes shown with a peacock as his vehicle, although a peacock is the customary vehicle of his brother Skanda (also known as Kartikeya and other names) as well as the vehicle sometimes associated with the goddess Saraswati. Even more rarely, the elephant-bodied Ganesh maybe seen riding another elephant, or a lion, or a many-headed serpent.[9]
As the assistant of a deity, the vahana serves the function of doubling his or her powers. Durga the warrior could not have destroyed the demon Mahishasura without the aid of her vehicle, Manashthala the lion. Lakshmi, goddess of fortune, dispenses both material and spiritual riches from her mount, Uluka the owl. Ganesh, remover of obstacles, cannot go everywhere despite his elephant-like strength. However, his vehicle, Mushika the mouse or Ulaka the rat, can slide into the smallest crevice and overcome the greatest obstacles.

2023: Nigerians must not submit to Tinubu's slavery, says Atiku
The Atiku Campaign Organisation has cautioned Nigerians to be wary of the antics of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and not submit to his over lordship as he is currently doing in Lagos.
Spokesman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Charles Aniagwu, gave the advice at a news conference on Tuesday in Asaba and warned that Nigerians would be subjecting themselves to internal slavery if they allowed Tinubu to become Nigerian president.
He said that Tinubu who already captured Lagos was looking for avenue to extend his control on the other 35 states and FCT and urged Nigerians to avoid repeating the mistake Lagosians made by allowing him control everything that happens in the entire state.
According to him, "as a campaign council we are urging Nigerians not to make the mistake of submitting themselves to internal slavery by the APC whose Presidential candidate had since captured Lagos and what he is looking for is to expand his territorial control beyond Lagos to control the entire country in form of slavery.
"For those of you who may not know, a number of the major projects and programmes in Lagos are controlled by this same individual.
"When you get to Lagos and ask them about BRT you will discover that it is handled by this man's family. The signages in Lagos which is a very big business is handled by his son, the collection of taxes in Lagos which is the biggest in terms of tax collection is handled by a company that is said to belong to this same man.
"Needn't I mention other sources of revenue that Lagos should have benefited from and you also know how he handpicks those who will govern Lagos to the extent that Ambode, a man that was doing well was taken out because he disagreed with them on how to share the funds of the people of Lagos."
He said for such a person to aspire to govern our country, it will be very detrimental to all of us.
"If we don't want to submit ourselves to slavery, Nigerians must stop Tinubu from crossing Lagos into the other 35 states and the FCT because that will amount to internal slavery for all of us where he alone will determine the next President, and who gets what and not forces of democratic governance.
"As part of that unbridled quest to expand his grip and capture the states, they have cooked up stories because they have seen that Nigerians are convinced that Atiku Abubakar is a man that has what it takes to recover this country and place it on the path of growth and development.
"They have gone to wake up a blackmailer and they call him a whistle blower. Am sure that as journalists you know who a whistle blower is and who a blackmailer is.
"Michael Achimugu was not a staff of Atiku Abubakar, he was a staff of one of the support groups with the daughter, he was not employed to work for Atiku Abubakar.
"If all he does is to record his boss and his friend and you call that whistle blowing, all of you know that is not whistle blowing but blackmail and anybody who is a blackmailer cannot be taken seriously and we are not perturbed because it was not done with the intention to help our country.
Aniagwu, who is Commissioner for Information in Delta, said the campaign council was concerned about the challenges bedevilling the nation and how to solve them and not engage in mundane issues.
"As a campaign council we know what the issues are that our youths are loosing their jobs and more than 133million Nigerians are now suffering from what they call multi-dimensional poverty, our economy is not in the best of shape while our unity is terribly challenged.
"There also the need for our children to have the best of education to curb the 'Jappa' syndrome and of course to progress the country from a consumption atmosphere to a much more productive environment.
"Any attempt to raise issues that don't add up so that they can have their way to enslave the rest of us, we are asking Nigerians to be weary of him and ask Lagosians what they are going through in his hands.
"Our forefathers fought the slave masters and colonial masters and chased them away to where they came from so we cannot afford to enthrone internal slave masters who will decide how the country would be governed.
"Our desire is to get our economy working again, unite Nigerians against divisive tendencies, fix infrastructure, address insecurity which has stiffled productivity and weakened our fabrics as a nation.
"In doing so we will amend the constitution and give way for state police and other matters. The APC has not given the country any hope in the past let alone renewing it so we cannot afford to allow them enslave the rest of the country," he said.

Need health insurance in WI that's affordable? Learn about the different types of health insurance costs & how to structure your plan to save the most money.
By law, almost everyone must have health insurance or a pay a fee.
The question is how to structure your investment in health insurance and medical care so that you save the most money. To do this, you need to know the different types of health insurance costs involved.
Premiums, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket costs of health insurance are important to understand before choosing a health plan.
Premium – The amount that you pay every month to have health insurance coverage. Most people look for a low health insurance premium, but this is only one cost to consider. Usually if the premium is low, the other costs are not.
Out-of-Pocket Costs (OOPs) – Your expenses for medical care that aren't reimbursed by insurance. Out-of-pocket costs include deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for covered services plus all costs for services that aren't covered.
Deductible – The amount you owe for health care services before your health plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible is $1,000, your insurance won't pay anything until you've met your $1,000 deductible for covered health care services subject to the deductible. The deductible may not apply to all services, which is a point to review when looking for the right health insurance plan.
Copayment (or Copay) – A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you get the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service. For example, if you have a family that goes to the doctor a lot, looking for a plan with a low copay (which can mean a higher premium) might be the cheaper option.
Coinsurance – Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. You pay coinsurance plus any deductibles you owe. A more affordable choice for you might be a plan with a low coinsurance, depending on how often you go to the doctor.
All this means that when looking for medical insurance, go "OOPs!" before you make a decision based on the cost of premiums. A good rule of thumb is the higher the premium, the lower the out-of-pocket (OOP) health insurance costs.

A new report reveals that, between 2009 and June 2014, there were more than 90 large-scale ivory seizures, collectively weighing almost 170 tons, which bear the hallmarks of international organized crime. At a 10% interception rate, this would amount to approximately 229,729 elephants killed and trafficked in fewer than six years.
Today, the ivory trade is operating at its highest level since the 1989 commercial ivory trade ban. 2013 appears to have been the worst year on record, with nearly 50 tons of ivory seized that were linked to organized criminal networks.

Doubtful Delicatessen countries around the world, which you are unlikely to want to try Bashny.Net
Everyone is different and what one likes, not necessarily will delight the other. But there is such a thing, one look at that would be enough to cause most of us have a collective sense of disgust and hostility. By one of those unpleasant things are questionable delicacies that is prepared and is revered around the world. These dishes are extremely aesthetic appearance, but their taste and smell, we can only guess, and this, by the way, can not but rejoice. In this article you will also find a couple of Russian dishes that we all somehow did not seem to be disgusting.
< salmiakki Sweets with smelling salts, Finland
All the fun of the Finns for their love of licorice salmiakki (salmiakki), which they adore and hrumkayut packs. And for good reason. Imagine: black, with a smell of ammonia, charcoal (hence the color) and salty fillings. The Finns call them the gift of the gods, and so fond of, that is added to the liquor and ice cream.
bee larvae, Japan
Larvae of bees hachinoko (hachinoko), cooked with soy sauce and sugar, they can be ordered in almost any eatery. There are the larvae of a giant bee Suzumebachi (suzumebachi), skewer them on a stick and fried, like kebabs, cooked with rice and sushi made with them, and even put in the cookies. And that nice crunch ...
Natto, Japan
Natto - one of the most popular products in Japan. It is fermented soybeans, which are often eaten for breakfast, as we have porridge. Natto is sticky and viscous and has a specific smell, something like spoiled cheese. It is considered healthy and wholesome food.
The oil-fried, USA
Americans in general are very fond of all the toast and the butter was no exception. Pieces of butter covered with honey, flour and cinnamon skewer on a stick, then dipped and deep-fried very quickly fried. So much fat in one dish you've ever seen.
Jelly salad
Jelly salad that is eaten in the US, the foreigners do not cause nothing but bewilderment. The basis is always the gelatin with fruit flavors - watermelon, grape, apple. And then many variations: carrots, peppers, cucumber, cheese, tuna, lemon, olives - all that comes into my head. Hmm, strange, and jelly, so they do not like!
Snickers Salad, USA
Another wonderful salad - Snickers Salad. Minimum hassle: just chopped Snickers, apple and fill all the whipped cream. That just will not do to a child of fruit eaten.
Herring under a fur coat and jelly, Russia
For salad and borscht in the world we have become accustomed and even loved them. Palm of strangeness among Russian meals hold, of course, herring under a fur coat (salted fish, boiled beets and mayonnaise ?!) and jelly (like this - meat in jelly?)
surströmming, Sweden
Surströmming - it podtuhshaya herring, although there are many lovers of its taste. They say the worst moment - when you open the jar. The smell literally knocked down, and as the fermentation process proceeds in the bank, a little stinking explosion may occur. Smart people are advised to open surströmming on the street or even do it in a bucket of water.
balut, Philippines
Balut - a dish popular in Asia, particularly the Philippines, where there are special poultry farms. This duck egg, which already appeared the fruit of the plumage, beak and cartilage. Eggs are eaten cooked, raw, soy sauce, fried. With unaccustomed produces wildly repulsive, but Asians love it and find it very useful dish.
Vegemite, Australia
Quite a strange thing only understand astraliytsy. Vegemite (vegemite) - is a thick paste from the remnants of beer wort, taste bitter, salty, yeast smell. Vegemite - something like a national symbol, like a kangaroo or a koala. Its spread on bread and eat in the morning, since their national Australian bread.
lutefisk, Norway
As soon as the Scandinavians do not excel in cooking fish. To get the most lutefisk, it is soaked for three days in the cod liquor in caustic soda solution, why it turns into a translucent jelly with a strange smell. Norwegians and residents of other Nordic countries consider lutefisk a delicacy and eaten at Christmas.

Non-Identifying Information in Adoption
Information About Birth Families That's Available to Adoptees
gradyreese / Getty Images
by Carrie Craft
Carrie Craft been an educator in the field of adoption and foster care since 1996. She has a wealth of relevant personal and professional experience.
Adoption records are usually forever sealed when an adoption is final, but the families involved may have questions about the child's background. Non-identifying information includes very basic details about the child's birth family. Adoptees and their adoptive parents are permitted to access this limited information despite records of the adoption having been sealed.
In some areas, adopted individuals must first register with the state to request this portion of their adoption records. In others, they can simply request it in writing. In most cases, they must be at least 18 years old. In approximately half of all states, this information is provided to the adoptive parents at the time of the adoption and it remains available to them until the child legally becomes an adult. A handful of states allow birth siblings to request the information.
Non-Identifying Information
By definition, non-identifying information cannot lead to or disclose a birth parent's identity — it does not include the parent's name, birth date, address or phone number. These limits are intended to protect the parties' anonymity. Non-identifying information can work both ways in some states. A parent who has given a child up for adoption may be entitled to this same sort of information about the adopting family.
Health and Medical Information
The extent of information that is disclosed can vary from state to state. Health and medical information about birth parents is typically included because it can be crucial to a child's own health and well-being. This often includes disclosure of any medical issues that run in the birth parents' families, as well as blood types.
The Parents' Ages and Personal Information
Birth parents' ages are considered non-identifying, as are details like hair color, eye color, height, and build. Records may disclose race and religion as well. Birth parents may choose to disclose their occupations and education levels.
Location of Birth
Non-identifying information may include the child's city or state of birth, although it typically does not cite the hospital. If the hospital were to be identified, it could be a relatively simple matter to check birth records for the date of birth and zero in on the adoptive parents. Non-identifying information may only include a state or the geographical area within the state if the child's birth city is served by only one hospital.
The Parents' Reasons for Placing the Child for Adoption
Birth parents may also wish to disclose why and how they've come to the decision to place their child for adoption. They might also include mention of any other children they have — the adopted child's full or half siblings.
More specific information regarding the parties to an adoption is available in most states if the birth parent has signed a written consent to release the information. Some states have mutual consent registries so parties to an adoption can sign up and hope that the individual they want to know more about signs up also.
Identifying information might also be disclosed by court order if the individual seeking the information has a compelling reason.
