Love languages provide relationship insight
By Christina Oliveira on February 15, 2018
The five love languages are physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, and gifts. Although these may appear to be generic or simple, knowing the love language of your friend, family member, significant other, and even yourself can help you realize what you need to do to improve your relationships.
In honor of Valentine's Day, the Wellness Center hosted the Love Me Like You Do workshop, which centered around the ideas brought up in Gary Chapman's novel, The Five Love Languages. Chapman wrote that the five different love languages refer to the ways in which people communicate their love.
It should be noted that I have never had a romantic partner and I do not plan on having one in the near future. Therefore, I was uncertain as to what use this workshop would be to someone like me.
However, I realized very early into the workshop that the love languages do not just apply to romantic relationships but to platonic and familial ones, as well.
The way we express love is generally independent of our relationship status with our loved one. Our expression of love is also often very different from that of our loved ones. Unfortunately, these differences can cause issues for those who are not familiar with other's love languages.
After explaining the concept of love languages to us, those hosting the workshop handed us a love language quiz. Each of the 30 questions had two different acts of love. All we had to do was pick the action that made us feel most loved and tally our choices to reveal our love language.
Many of us might believe that we know our love language off the top of our head. However, when we really think about it for more than a few minutes, our conclusions might surprise us, as it did me.
After adding up my choices, my primary love language was acts of service. This means that I feel most loved when people help me with chores, homework, studying, and other tasks.
I was very surprised by this answer until I realized that the times that I felt closest and happiest with those I loved were when they were helping me or vice versa, such as with chores and errands.
This realization might not have come if I had not taken this quiz. In fact, I was not aware that acts of service could be interpreted as expressions of love.
Now I can appreciate what others do for me and what I do for others as acts of affection rather than acts of duty.
After acts of service, my second most prominent love language was a tie between words of affirmation and quality time.
In regards to the ranking of quality time, I was not surprised. I enjoy spending time with people and having them invest in me. However, I do not seem to like it as much as other people do.
This realization made me notice that there were certain people in my life who I dismissed as clingy and needy. In fact, these people feel most loved and like to express love with quality time the most, unlike myself.
Now that I understand that some of the "needy" people I knew wanted to spend time with me to show their love, I do regret treating them the way that I did.
If I were to re-do my relationships with these people, I would tell them my boundaries and try to accommodate their needs the best I could. If I knew their love languages sooner, I could have preserved my friendships with them.
Rebounding off of this point, the workshop emphasized that misunderstandings can arise from people with different love languages. For instance, I hate physical touch. I have always done the half-hearted side-hug whenever someone wanted to hug me.
Now, I wonder if anyone who might have had physical touch as their love language ever felt unloved by my pulling back from their embraces.
I also think about how my friends might have felt whenever I, every December, gave them their Secret Santa gift late and applied minimal effort to them. I did not mean to make them feel unappreciated; I just did not know how to express my love through gifts very well.
Learning my love language and the love languages of others has helped me see the different ways in which people express their love to me.
It has also encouraged me to be more understanding of those who do not share my love language and more accommodating to those people.
I look forward to the way in which these discoveries will enhance my relationships. You, too, can take the quiz at http://www.5lovelanguages.com/.

Alison Moyet to perform at Diversity Role Models gala dinner
By Newsdesk 11th November 2016 11th November 2016 News / UK
Alison Moyet, three times Brit award winner, Grammy nominee and patron of award-winning anti-bullying charity Diversity Role Models, is to perform at the charity's gala dinner.
The event is to be held tonight at the Waldorf Hilton in London, where Alison will perform a live set with her band.
Alison, who has sold in excess of 20 million recordings, joins popular broadcaster and fellow Patron, Clare Balding, who will host the dinner. The evening is being organised by media entrepreneur and DRM Patron, Linda Riley, CEO of the Global Diversity Company and publisher of OutNews Global and DIVA magazine.
Chief Executive and founder of Diversity Role Models, Suran Dickson, said: "We are thrilled to have Alison Moyet performing at our gala dinner on 11 November. I'm sure that she will electrify the room and make it a night to remember for all our guests. Lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender students are three times more likely than other children to attempt suicide and one in six has received death threats. The funds we raise will be invaluable in helping us change attitudes and – ultimately – eradicate homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying."
Alison Moyet said: "To support Diversity Role Models is to support our children. Every family is diverse and every child has the right to grow into their own shape without intimidation or humiliation. Not a big ask for any young person. I am very proud to be associated with Diversity Role Models."
Celebrities including Graham Norton, Charlie Condou, Wegan, Rachel Shelley and Stella Duffy will also be attending in support of the charity.
By using positive role models to counter negative stereotypes in schools, Diversity Role Models has already had an encouraging impact. It delivers pioneering pro-diversity workshops in schools across the country to counter stigma and stereotypes based on sexuality and gender identity.

Help Build The Dorchester Food Co-op
Timothy Rousseau
Elizabeth Saunders
Dorchester Food Cooperative is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Cooperative Development Institute.
This effort is part of a collaboration between Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) and the Dorchester Food Co-op (DFC) to build a more just, sustainable and resilient food system in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester.
The Mission of the DORCHESTER FOOD CO-OP is to challenge the traditional food system by building a community and worker-owned asset that nourishes, employs, and reinvests in the local community.
We believe that everyone has the right to wholesome food. ~
We are building the Dorchester Food Co-op!
Cooperation is our approach. Justice is our goal.
We need to raise funds to build out, equip, stock and staff the community and worker owned store, and we are inviting all who believe in this vision to be part of this movement.
Our non-profit developer has already started construction on Bowdoin Street, where the Co-op will be located with 41 units of affordable housing, and we will start the build out of our 6,000 sq. ft. space, in late spring 2022.
(Rendering of our future store at 195 Bowdoin St. Illustration only.)
Giving to Dorchester Food Co-op today helps meet this goal.
Together, we will build an asset that is truly of, by, and for the community. And best of all, the community will OWN it, building financial strength for the co-op and the community for decades to come. We're glad you're with us.
We invite you to follow our progress on Instagram and Facebook.

READ MORE ABOUT THE DORCHESTER FOOD CO-OP
In 2012, neighbors gathered to discuss the policies and practices that cause limited food access and lack of investment in our community. Through a series of resident-led planning meetings, we developed a vision of a co-operative market that will:
~ reflect and build power for local residents while working with
partners to strengthen a robust, local food system.
~ weave educational programs around food, health and social justice
into the culture of our co-op.
~ recognize the unequal impact of climate change on
Communities of Color
There are three stages to building food co-ops: GROW, FUND, BUILD
For the past 10 years, in the "GROW Stage", we created a strong cooperative led by more than 968 household member-owners and Board members who represent Dorchester's racial and cultural diversity. We've built a strong plan, developed partnerships, and organized programs to increase food access, economic investment and public health in our community including:
~ Boston's first Winter Farmers' Market
~ "Fresh Fridays" outdoors summer café
~ Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in partnership with urban farms
~ "PopUp" farm stands at senior centers
~ "Green Future Fest," highlighting climate justice work in our communities.
Now we are ready to FUND the co-op.
Stand with us! Together, we can raise the money to BUILD the Co-op

One day Dylan discovers a young orca stranded high up on the rocky beach. Dylan runs to tell his grandfather. There's nothing that can be done, says Angus. The sun is coming up, and soon the orca will die of exposure.
But Dylan knows he has to try to save the whale. He collects towels to cover the delicate skin of the orca and begins transporting buckets of water from the ocean below to keep it hydrated. It's grueling work, and it will be hours before the tide comes back in and the water is high enough for the orca to swim free. Angus is moved by his grandson's determination and helps as best he can. They both desperately hope that soon the orca will be able to join its family, who have been calling out to it just offshore.

George Will almost gets it
George Will writes:
California is exporting talent while importing Mexico's poverty. The latter is not California's fault; the former is.
But the rest of his column doesn't acheive that level of insight.
I think there could be a case made that a high level of Mexican immigration is only manageable under a Texas Republican-style system of low government spending, low taxes, and low environmental regulation. But there are a couple of problems with that. It assumes a Texas-size supply of habitable land so that land prices don't go through the roof and there will be enough resource extraction jobs, which California really doesn't have even before all the environmental regulations that the beauty of California inspires. And it assumes that there will be enough Republican voters to keep voting against the new poor people's urge to vote for tax and spend programs. And how much longer will Texas have that?
My published articles are archived at iSteve.com -- Steve Sailer
By Steve Sailer on 5/05/2009 Labels: California
Dallas and Houston have become real dumps b/c of mass immigration. That said, Texas' pride in itself and the generally rural Mexicans who come there seem to fit in OK especially when they go to rural areas. I've met a surprissing number of highly assimilated Mexican-Americans from rural Texas who distinguish themselves from "wetbacks."
Will and Saletan are getting closer and closer to having their "Come to Sailer" moment.
George Will has made a career of "almost" getting it. He curbs himself in order to keep the butter on the right side of the bread.
Actually, California may have more oil of its coast than there is in all of Texas. Not that the Dems (or your liberal Republican governor) will let you drill any of it.
Steve wrote:
And it assumes that there will be enough Republican voters to keep voting against the new poor people's urge to vote for tax and spend programs. And how much longer will Texas have that.
It isn't just the new poor immigrants that vote for this wealth transfer. As all of the Northern states decline they export part of their population southward to the Sunbelt. As these Northern transplants move in they vote for the same crap that impoverished them in their home state. This Northern migration is what slowly turned North Carolina from a state that elected Jesse Helms into a state that voted for John Edwards, and later Barack Obama.
This means that Texas gets hit from both the north and the south at the same time.
If I wanted militant unions, light rail, mass transit, public acceptance of homosexuality, and larger flocks for the RCC I would move to Michigan, Massachusetts, New York or New Jersey. When GM finally collapses how many of the former UAW members will actually understand the reason why their state couldn't generate any other jobs, such as the high taxes and militant unions.
I guess this proves something else: you can't run from yourself.
The same Northern elite that is supporting the Obama administration is also consuming the capital base of its home territory, a capital base that was built up over 350 years by greater men.
Yes, Will, who I believe has a PhD in political science, fails to go beyond the most superficial analysis. He fails to make even the fairly obvious connection that Steve makes, that poor people have poor citizen kids that vote for high taxes. What's Will decries teacher's unions without taking into consideration that high demand for teachers, due to high birthrate immigrants, creates the conditions for a powerful union. Likewise the prison guard union. Indeed California has to spend a lot in general on public goods (or quasi-public goods) simply because not doing so means the place will revert to something approaching Mexico. One wonders how much Will gets paid for an 800 word column which shows about zero thought, let alone new thought. Couldn't the WP put that money to better use?
tanabear said...
I read that column by George Will a few days ago at townhall.com and that same line stood out to me as well.
George Will tends to be "soft" on both legal and illegal immigration. As he wrote back in 2006 during the height of the immigration debate,
"Conservatives should favor reducing illegality by putting illegal immigrants on a path out of society's crevices and into citizenship by paying fines and back taxes and learning English. Faux conservatives absurdly call this price tag on legal status "amnesty." Actually, it would prevent the emergence of a sullen, simmering subculture of the permanently marginalized, akin to the Arab ghettos in France."
I believe that George Will considers himself to be to "mainstream" and to "respectable" to come out and stridently oppose immigration, like Pat Buchanan does.

George Will is a faux conservative. An empty suit wrapped in a bow-tie.
"How much longer will Texas remain in a union with California?"
You talkin' secession, Johnny Reb?! Secession is getting a bit of press these days, most of it bad. Why is that? Because the left runs the MSM/Establishment and the left/Establishment is scared, terrified in fact. That's why the MSM labeled the "Tea Parties" as gatherings of Nazis, rednecks, right-wing loons, etc...The Tea Parties were the first shot in what will become the Revolt of the Productive Class: White, middle class people who are getting fed up with funding what in essence are giant lab experiments and Leftist whims of fancy being inflicted on the US. Vermont has had a secessionist mov't for years, but they never got any press. Now when TX even utters a peep about it, why General Lee himself is about to rise from the dead! Wonder why that is? Who lives in VT? Who lives in TX? The left is terrified because if secession or even a states rights mov't gathers steam, the good times are over, funding will dry up. This country is closer than many think to breaking apart.
Mr. Anon: "George Will is a faux conservative. An empty suit wrapped in a bow-tie."
Indeed. Moreover, some basic facts seem to contradict Mr. Will's assertion that allowing illegal immigrants a "path to citizenship" will hasten their integration into American civic life.
George Will, "Faux conservatives absurdly call this price tag on legal status "amnesty." Actually, it would prevent the emergence of a sullen, simmering subculture of the permanently marginalized, akin to the Arab ghettos in France."
"Almost 50 percent of Muslims living in France today are French citizens and eventually nearly all of them will become French citizens. France has an extremely generous naturalization policy, one that permits all legal residents to apply for citizenship after five years in France and every child born on French soil to apply for citizenship, even if his parents are in the country illegally."
The Middle East QuarterlyMARCH 1997 • VOLUME IV: NUMBER 1
"The Muslim population in France is extremely diverse. Although no accurate statistics are available according to recent estimates there are approximately 4,155,000 Muslims living in France...An estimated three million are French citizens."
OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE 2002"Unlike their parents' generation, young Muslims are increasingly requesting nationality, signaling their intention to remain in France and participate fully in public life, culture and politics."
OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE 2002Apparently, this signal came in 2005 when Muslim youth rioted throughout France.

This Northern migration is what slowly turned North Carolina from a state that elected Jesse Helms into a state that voted for John Edwards, and later Barack Obama. --Ronduck
In other words, they ended NC's brief flirtation with the Yankee party, and returned the state to its traditional political home.
Incidentally, the "Carolina Hurricanes" left Hartford because that city refused to build them a new stadium at public expense-- something North Carolinians were more than happy to do. Sort of like those foreign auto plants built all over the Sunbelt with tax breaks unavailable to the locals.
If I wanted militant unions, light rail, mass transit, public acceptance of homosexuality, and larger flocks for the RCC I would move to Michigan, Massachusetts, New York or New Jersey.The transit systems in those states were built long ago mostly by private interests, unlike, say, Atlanta's or Houston's. The unions got militant, and powerful, through "card check", which was put in place in the '30s and '40s by Texas and North Carolina's favorite president. All four of those states voted for Reagan twice, for which Gov. Wallace condemned them, as presumably Ronduck did as well.
It wasn't all that long ago that those in the colder states could say, if we wanted cheap swarthy labor competition, a powerful Democratic Party, and loud guitar music, we would have moved "southward to the Sunbelt".
...a capital base that was built up over 350 years by greater men.You got that right!
Conservatives should favor reducing illegality by putting illegal immigrants on a path out of society's crevices and into citizenship... --George Will
...and forcibly returning them to their home country does exactly that!
My point is that right now these people ruin their own states with their stupid political ideas and then once their states become unlivable go on to move to other states that managed to avoid such nonsense. Once these people move in they continue to vote for the same crap that made MI, NJ, MA and NY unlivable.
Second, North Carolina used to be a solidly conservative state, and now due to the alliance of Northern refugees, Blacks, and the small community of existing Southern liberals has been turned into a liberal state. In the end it was the Northerners attempting to run from themselves that caused the change.
Ever notice how those who spell "black", "white", or "northern" with a capital usually have some axe to grind?
A new study by the Mercatus Center claims that the five freest states are New Hampshire, Colorado, South Dakota, Idaho and Texas. People running towards more freedom aren't necessarily going south. North Carolina is attracting-- inviting-- the wrong kind of "refugee". E.g., the Hurricanes.
Likewise, the core of the "stupid political ideas"-- Democrats, unions and organized blacks-- were greatly strengthened by an earlier migration from the South which quickly allied with the "huddled masses". (Not to mention the "Truman Capote element"...)
Any number of commentators (Sam Francis, Charley Reese, Brent Nelson, James Carville, "Mudcat" Sanders) have repeatedly pointed out that Southerners are conservative on race and sex, and little else. Certainly not economics.
Birch Bascomb said...

Ronduck, those are excellent comments re the state to state white flight relocating liberals. And that is why liberalism is often referred to as a mental illness: running away from your unchanging self is pathological behavior.
Steve has addressed the possibility that in these cases the self can't be changed because it's all about STATUS and that is the one thing people refuse to give up more than anything else.
Therefore until whites who engage in this behavior are publicly shamed and stripped of social status -and that day will come as the pressure on white communities becomes unbearable- then migrating white liberals will continue to move from places they've already made unliveable to new places that they have yet to make unliveable; where they will again spread their suicidal social policy poison which is a means of demonstrating their own high status.
"As these Northern transplants move in they vote for the same crap that impoverished them in their home state."
This is just a stupid argument. The northern transplants are from states that are richer than the states they are moving to.
Those Northern states are richer for now but currently they are not accumulating capital, those states are consuming it. Second, if those Northern states are so rich why do they bleed people constantly, instead of employing them at home? Why do these liberals need to move to Texas, Arizona and North Carolina to find work?
Those states are in long term decline, and the movement of young people from these states is only dwarfed by the Mexodus. If they were not in decline these states would either be gaining young people or at least holding on to the ones they have. Weather can't be blamed for the exodus either, since in the past men were willing to move to these states despite the weather in order to find work.

California is exporting talent while importing Mexico's poverty. The latter is not California's fault; the former is.Really? What's the voting record of California's two senators and 53 representatives on immigration enforcement? What's the governor's position on immigration enforcement? Has the state legislature voted for laws and programs that would help the federal government enforce immigration laws?

You see, dear readers, once upon a time existed an observation. Hovland (1989) noticed along the Norwegian coastline that carbonate reefs occurred in sediment laden with detectable concentrations of methane and oil. This led him to suggest that
"such reefs form at locations containing high concentrations of bacteria and other microorganisms suspended in the water column as a result of seeping fluids (solutions and gases) that provide some of the energy basis and carbon source for ecosystems independently of photosynthesis."
Over the course of the last 20 years that hypothesis has been refined by several lines of evidence to suggest that
"the coral reef is located at this exact location due to sub-surface hydrogeologic properties, i.e. that there is an upward seepage of hydrocarbon-charged porewater on which bacteria and other micro-organisms thrive, thus providing suspension-feeders, including the corals, with a substantial and reliable food source." (Hovland & Thomsen 1997)
This is known as the "hydraulic theory" for reef occurrence. My colleague and former labmate Erin Becker just published a study which sheds more light on the coral-seep relationship.

For the last several years I've had the unfortunate circumstance of cooking with electric stoves. Just last February, my wife and I bought our first house and moved in. Now, we are blessed with a propane line and have the wonders of clean burning fire at my culinary disposal. But it turns out I'm not the only organism that prefers to use gas. In the deep Gulf of Mexico lurks a secret underground society of gasiverous microbes! There bacteria and archaea work in concert to utilize methane and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg gas) as an energy source and carbon backbone for building metabolites. The byproduct of this microbial consortia results in the carbonates. In other words, these microbes essentially 'poop' out rock!
Becker and colleagues studied if the deep sea coral Lophelia pertusa occurs near active oil and gas seeps because it eats organisms associated with the seepage. The carbonate outcrops dot the seafloor landscape around continental margins and provide a roost for other animals like corals and barnacles. These animals like to take advantage of being positioned above the seafloor in order to capture food in the water. Perhaps the methane seeps provided a wealth of locally derived primary production of essential nutrients in the form of particulate matter. If sessile, filter-feeding animals are located in the right place they might surely take advantage of seep-derived mana from the abyssal heavens.
To understand if corals and the animals, such as crabs and polychaete worms, are fueled on gas the authors looked at the tissue stable isotope concentrations for carbon, nitrogen and sulfur – all important elements that are obtained from eating other stuff. Stable isotopes are useful tracers of an animal's last meal. The old adage "you are what you eat" is actually true to some extent. Each animal has a slightly different signature of stable isotope ratios that reflect the signature of its food item. This cascades down to the primary producer that was able to fix inorganic carbon from carbon dioxide or methane into simple sugars or other metabolites. For instance, many cnidarians capture copepods with their stinging cells, called nematocysts. If that is mostly what they eat then the coral's tissue would have stable C, N, and S ratios that were similar to the prey. Likewise, if that copepod ate an alga, then its tissue stable isotope concentrations would resemble the alga's. The alga is a photosynthesizer and fixes carbon dioxide using solar energy. The original stable isotope values depend on the source of inorganic carbon and the metabolic pathway the carbon molecules were shoved through. This is called fractionation. Carbon has the stable isotopes C-12 and C-13. C-12 is lighter and moves through most metabolic pathways more quickly than the slightly heavier C-13. Therefore most animal tissues are "depleted" in C-13 relative to C-12.
Biologists can exploit the difference in fractionation to determine potential food sources for the animals. The process by which methane is fixed by chemosynthesis versus carbon dioxide is fixed by photosynthesis can produce vastly different values. The same process works for sulfur, where the oxidation of sulfides is used as an energy source to fix inorganic carbon. Nitrogen is a little more complicated but is useful as a food web tracer. Each isotope fractionates in predictable ways that has been tested hundreds of times in decades of literature (with caveats of course…). That is, every time a critter eats another critter and transforms the tissue of the prey into fat reserves, muscle mass, etc. the stable isotope signature of the prey is incorporated in the biomass of the predator, but the values shift in predictable ways that correspond to trophic levels.
Becker and colleagues found that while coral communities shared several of the same animals found at seep communities, the tissue stable isotope values of the coral and its inhabitants did not reflect a strong signature characteristic of a gas-fueled ecosystem. One exception was a small snail called Provanna sculpta, which had much more depleted C-13/C-12 ratios than the other coral fauna and reflected a metabolic pathway based on oxidation of hydrogen sulfide. This finding could mean that this snail has chemoautotrophic endosymbionts, a condition found in some close relatives in the Provannidae.
But perhaps early in the coral's life history, during settlement and its initial growth stages, the coral was reliant on seep primary production. The coral skeleton is a record of its history. It tells a story along the length of its intertwining branches. In this living book are chapters on oxygen concentrations, temperatures, and food sources depending on the isotopes being used.
Becker and colleagues took samples along the length of the coral, from the base where the young coral larvae once settled and attached itself to the carbonate to the tips where the only evidence of active growth remain. Two results stood out. First, there was no indication of seep derived stable isotope signatures in even the most basal part of the skeleton. Second, there was no difference from the base to the tip in isotope signatures suggesting that settlement occurs after active seepage has passed. Additionally, the signatures of the carbonate rock it settled upon were different from Lophelia's skeleton indicating that it was derived from gas-fueled or other microbial processes.
So does this turn the burner off of the flames of the hypothesis linking deep sea corals to methane seeps? While the corals in the Gulf of Mexico do not rely upon chemosynthetic primary production, they do thrive from its byproducts. Deep sea corals support communities similar to those of seep tubeworms, defined by high standing stock biomass, high abundance of associated fauna and similar species composition. This is more telling of the community. It is not endemic to seeps but can thrive in nonchemosynthetic-based ecosystems as well. In their words:
L. pertusa communities rival adjacent vestimentiferan associated communities in biomass and abundance of the associated fauna. We have long known that the high biomass assemblages of seep fauna are possible because of abundant local primary production fueled by migrating hydrocarbons in the otherwise nutrient-poor deeps-sea environment. Although L. pertusa often colonized carbonate that was only meters away from vestimentiferan aggregations, the results of this study show that the occurrence of L. pertusa at seep sites in the Northern Gulf of Mexico is not primarily due to reliance upon seep-derived nutrition, as hypothesized in the hydraulic theory (Hovland and Mortensen, 1999 [KZ note-but see Hovland & Thomsen 1997 for their ideas in an english language paper]). Rather, seep-induced features such as carbonate occurrence and uneven bottom topography provide appropriate substrate and may drive other processes relating to provision of food, such as current acceleration, bottom mixing, and nutrient concentration.

El Reichsgesetzblatt (RGBl.) fue el boletín legislativo del Reich alemán; fue publicado en Berlín, de 1871 a 1922, por el Ministerio de Justicia del Reich y, de 1922 a 1945, por el Ministerio del Interior del Reich. Era el sucesor del Bundesgesetzblatt Norddeutschen Bundes, publicado desde el 2 de agosto de 1867 hasta el 20 de enero de 1871 por la Confederación Alemana del Norte.

A partir de 1922, se dividió en dos publicaciones. La Parte II contenía tratados y acuerdos internacionales, leyes presupuestarias y textos relativos al transporte ferroviario o marítimo, el Reichsbank y los asuntos internos del Reichstag. Los otros textos se publicaron en la Parte I. La paginación fue continua durante todo un año dentro de cada parte.

Cesó la publicación después de la última edición de la Parte I el 11 de abril de 1945. La Bundesgesetzblatt de la República Federal de Alemania lo sucedió en 1949.

Los Banos teen makes chocolate roses for every girl in school
KGPE 47 Morning
by: Joey Horta
Posted: Feb 18, 2019 / 07:15 AM PST / Updated: Feb 18, 2019 / 07:31 AM PST
A Los Banos teenager made hundreds of chocolate roses to make sure every girl in his school got one for Valentine's Day.
Daniel Herrera is an 11th grader at Pacheco High School.
"I know it can be a difficult day. We're teenagers; we have emotions, and we don't know how to relate to anyone," Daniel said. "So I wanted to make this – that way just in case anyone felt left out, they wouldn't. Sometimes the inclusion is more important; even if it's a small gesture, it's something."
The rosebud in Daniel's project was a Hershey's Kiss. He attached it to a stem and wrapped tissue paper around it to form a rose.
The project started in early January, Daniel said, but he got the idea in late November.
"I had just finished running at the state meet for cross country, and I was like, 'I don't have nothing to do for two – three months,' and I like to keep busy," Daniel said. "But I want to do something not for me this time. I want to do it for my school; I want to make a difference and hopefully leave a lasting impact."
Daniel's mother helped him assemble the roses in a quasi assembly line fashion. His little sister and his aunt also took part in the project.
It took close to a month to make all the roses. Daniel's mother would often make him stop to do his homework.
He said the roses got a positive reaction at his school.
"You could see big smiles. If one girl smiled, it would be more than enough – it would be worth it." Daniel said. "Just one smile out of the 850 that there are, it means you did something good."

Q: Password protected pages (without username) in ruby on rails I am working on a rails-project where you can create photo-albums. I would like the creator of an album to enter a password that is needed to access this album. Then, when users want to view it, they have to enter a password. I dont need a full user management system, and I would prefer that users do not have to enter a username with their password (which is the case when I use authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic).
What is the best way to handle this scenario?

A: *

*Store the fact that the user has successfully entered the key-word in the session

*Check for that fact in a before_filter, redirect to a form for them to enter their key

*Redirect back to the album after they enter their key.

Sort of an old-school authentication, but without a username.

By not moving interest rates last week, the US Fed has simply added to uncertainty within financial markets. Speaking in front of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics, Reserve Bank Governor Glenn Stevens suggested it is only a matter of time before the Fed raises rates. Futures markets are pricing in a 55% chance of a move at the December meeting. In the meantime, uncertainty is already driving more volatility in financial markets, including Australia's S&P/ASX 200 which slid more than 2% on Monday.
In the statement that accompanied its decision, the Fed cited continued improvement in the labour market, an improving housing sector, and continued expansion in domestic economic activity. However, a lack of inflationary pressures, together with concerns about the global outlook, seem to have proved decisive in the Fed staying its hand.
The result was largely expected by financial markets, with just a 25% chance of a 0.25 percent rate hike priced into Fed Funds futures prior to the meeting (although the majority of economists, including myself, favoured a rate rise).
However, after first rallying by 1.4%, the stock market gains evaporated as Janet Yellen (the Fed Chair) spoke about contagion from emerging markets affecting the US economy. The S&P500 Index actually closed lower on the day. The losses in the US dollar were also pared back. Several reports suggest traders are concerned that the Fed has greater concerns about the situation in China, and the global economy, than have been revealed so far.
Moving forward, it is likely that investor focus will shift back to the evolving situation in China. In addition to the Fed apparently focusing on developments there, there is a direct impact on Australia's economy. With China being Australia's largest trade partner by some margin, any further slowdown in China is going to have a negative impact on Australian economic growth.
Over the past 18 months, the Australian economy has started to transition away from the investment-led mining boom of the past decade or so. A decline in the Australian dollar (a 14% depreciation on a trade-weighted basis) has aided this transition. As well as increasing the competitiveness of Australian exports, service industries such as education (Australia's 3rd biggest export) and tourism have benefited. It is perhaps a little unfortunate that there is little of the manufacturing sector left to benefit from this. In addition, the declining value of the dollar has offset some of the steep price decline in commodity prices (which are usually priced in US dollars).
The RBA has pinned its hopes on the the declining dollar, coupled with housing construction fuelled by the east coast property boom, offsetting the investment cliff created by the wind down in mining and energy (e.g. LNG) related construction. Business and consumer confidence appears to have received a boost following the replacement of the (in my view) inept Abbott government, and this may help in the short term.
But there are early signs that property prices are starting to cool. As the economies of major trading partners are slowing, the resulting fall in commodity prices has pushed many of the newly completed (or soon to be compeleted) projects into the red. It may take a magic wand from the RBA (or the new Turnbull government) for Australia to escape a recession. Already, Australian (per capita) living standards are stagnating, so for many this may feel like a recession, even if the technical definition of recession (two consecutive quarters of declining GDP) is not met.
With this in mind, the effect of Fed action on the Australian dollar may be of more importance. The last thing the RBA will want is for the dollar to start appreciating on the back of a declining US currency.
Until the situation in China is resolved somewhat (which may take many months), Australian investors have every right to be cautious. With uncertainty likely to continue, accompanied by higher volatility levels, risky assets (such as stocks) will be in less demand. Investors may not have witnessed the end of the recent slide in stock markets.

When the weather cools down it's my time to hibernate. Don't get me wrong, I'm still into getting outdoors and enjoying fall but for the most part James and I tend to gravitate to staying indoors when the temperature cools.
With our 70" television, sound bar and cozy sectional the basement, AKA Man Cave is where we spend most of our time hanging out, playing games, keeping cozy and binge watching Netflix! ha!
Since it's been a little while since we shared this space I thought I'd show off a few of the changes we've made and talk a bit about how to cozy up your own basement (or man cave) for fall.
Cozy up any space by layering tons of faux sheepskins, cozy knit blankets and cushions for a bit of color and texture. It'll instantly cozy up your room!
Having great furniture is one thing but the personality comes through the accessories. I like to have lots of baskets, large scale artwork and modern shelving styling for our modern but cozy man cave.
If you're going to be staying in, chances are you'll be wanting to watch a bit of Netflix, no?! What's on my list for fall? I'm watching Season 5 of Wentworth (sorry not sorry but this is WAY better than OITNB), The Confession Tapes (I love true crime shows & docs!) and the Foo Fighters documentary Back + Forth (love those guys!). What's on your list for fall? I'm always looking for more suggestions!
PS Most of the accessories in this space are ones I've picked up from The Brick! When it comes to accessories and artwork, The Brick gets new pieces in all the time, they're one of my go-to resources for accessories and added decor. They don't update their pieces online so you'll have to check in store for the great finds!

A kivevé (spanyolos írásmóddal quibebé) egy paraguayi eredetű, Argentína északi részén is népszerű, tökből (helyi nevén: andaí) készülő, általában édeskés étel. Fogyasztható főételként, más ételek (pl. húsok) kísérőjeként és desszertként is. Állaga krémes, de sűrű, nem puha.

Neve, amelyet a guarani nyelvben a vörös hajú emberek leírására szoktak használni, a kivevé vöröses színére utal. Receptjét a guarani indiánok alkották meg, azonban nem egy ősi ételről van szó, hanem egy arab eredetű, a spanyolok által behozott étel adaptációjáról. A helyiek, akik az európai recepthez a kukoricalisztet adták hozzá újdonságként, addig a tököt és a sajtot nem is használták konyhájukban.

Készítése úgy történik, hogy a magjaitól megfosztott, kis kockákra vágott tököt sós-cukros vízben megfőzik, majd összepürésítik, és hozzáadják a kukoricalisztet (fél kiló tökhöz egy-két bögrényit), ugyanennyi tejet és a sajtot (a tök tömegének egyötödét-egyhetedét), esetleg egy kevés margarint, valamint tetszés szerint sót és cukrot.

No changes at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings left Alabama at No. 1 and three SEC teams in the top six and four in the top 10 in the second weekly release Tuesday.
Alabama was joined in the current playoff field by the same teams it was last week, in the same order: No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Ohio State.
Texas A&M and Florida remained in their positions at Nos. 5 and 6; Georgia completed the SEC representation in the top 10 by coming in at No. 8.
Cincinnati remains atop the Group of Five teams at No. 7. No. 18 Coastal Carolina, No. 21 Marshall and No. 24 Tulsa all remained in the top 25, joined by a new Group of Five representative at No. 25: Louisiana-Lafayette.
There was no movement in the top seven. Georgia moved up one spot from No. 9 to No. 8 primarily because Northwestern dropped after its loss to Michigan State.

Terse exchanges at CRM meeting as mineral industry bemoans regulation cost
On 22 September Myles McCormick, Commercial Editor at Industrial Minerals, attended the Critical Raw Materials Alliance luncheon event – sponsored by Etimine S.A. – at the European Parliament. Following that luncheon event, the below article was published on the Industrial Minerals website.
Industry and the European Commission stood at odds over the impact of the EU's REACH regulation on registration of chemical and mineral substances, as business representatives complained of the legislation's high costs and unintended consequences.
Mineral producers challenged the costs imposed upon them by the EU's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation at the Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Alliance meeting at the European Parliament yesterday.
But the European Commission (EC) dismissed the claims about the burdens of compliance, insisting the administrative impact of legislation remains minimal.
A 2012 Europe-wide consultation process on the most burdensome pieces of legislation for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) put REACH top of the list.
Speaking at the CRM event, Bjorn Hansen, head of unit for at the EU's environment directorate general, and REACH expert, questioned its findings and methodology.
"If you were a university professor, you wouldn't call it a study," he said, "If you were a scientist you might say it was biased against REACH."
Hansen said that studies in both the UK and the Netherlands had found that all EU environmental law – of which REACH forms only a small part – combined imposes an increased administrative burden of no more than 1-2% upon companies.
He accepted that the programme imposed costs in terms of data acquisition and substitution, but held that all other areas of it were positive for business.
Delegates from a number of industries disputed Hansen's claims. Representatives of the magnesium, silicon and minor metals industries, among others, maintained that registration and other financial obligations imposed by REACH were causing significant damage.
Chris Dagger, European chairman of the International Magnesium Association pointed to the unreimbursed costs incurred by the original members of the various industry associations now tasked with regulation. Ines Vanlierde, Eurolieges secretary general, added that compliance costs born by associations at customs checks were significant, while Maria Cox, general manager at the Minor Metals Trade Association, said that many her group's members were struggling to handle the new administrative burden.
REACH's stated aim is to protect human health and the environment by shifting risk management in chemicals to industry bodies via a process of registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals.
CRM on a collision course with REACH
In 2010 the EC labelled 14 materials as "critical" on the basis of the dual criteria of economic importance and supply risk. This list was increased to 20 in 2014.
Among its numbers, the list now includes borates, fluorspar, heavy and light rare earths, phosphate rock and natural graphite, all of which are classed as industrial minerals.
The CRM Alliance promotes the importance of these materials in the EU. One of their key objectives is that the EU's CRM policies should focus on supporting enhanced raw materials supply, instead of promoting substitutes materials.
This arguably puts CRM on a direct collision course with REACH, for which substance substitution is a key element.
Hansen said that it was the intention of the regulation to create a tangible pressure to substitute where substances are not necessary, but in applications where no other option it would not impede their use.
"It helps to reduce the waste of CRM's in Europe, [by reducing use in non-essential areas] it leaves more for applications that cannot be substituted."
Sean O'Sullivan, regulatory affairs manager for Swiss trading giant Glencore, said that the issue of stigmatisation was very real once substances appear on candidate lists of any kind, leading downstream purchasers to look elsewhere: "What if Boeing discovers a substance on a candidate list, without going through the decision making process? They will ultimately avoid them, regardless," he said.
Borates centre stage
The stigma question is an issue in particular for borates, a mineral with a wide spectrum of uses including glass, ceramic and enamel frits and glazes, detergents and soap, agriculture, pest control and nuclear power.
The majority of these applications are either outside the scope of the legislation or irreplaceable. Nonetheless, its classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) listing as "toxic to reproduction" has caused a degree of substitution by downstream users.
Turkey-based Etimine SA maintains that substitution away from borates has led the utilisation of more harmful substances. In one application – cellulose insulation – the shift was to inorganic ammonium salts, which France subsequently banned outright due to the emission of harmful ammonia gas under conditions of high humidity.
Bayram Ankarali, general manager of Etimine described borates as "the salt of industry", and said that they were "irreplaceable in many uses". As such he said that the pressure to substitute imposed by REACH was both "disproportionate and ineffective".
The third and final deadline for chemical registration under REACH falls on 31 May 2018, but the classification of materials of substances of high concern is likely to extend well beyond this date and the CRM Alliance will continue to hold meetings discussing the place CRMs within the EU legislative framework.

The Binghamton Mets completed a sweep of the New Britain Rock Cats with a 6-5 victory June 14 at NYSEG Stadium. Binghamton has now won four consecutive games and ups their record to 32-30.
Michael Conforto continues to rip Eastern League pitching as he hit a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to plate the winning run in walk -off fashion. It was the second walk-off hit the rookie has gotten so far this month.
Eudy Pina hit his first ever Double-A home run. John Mincone pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his first win as a B-Met.
The B-Mets next play three in a row in Portland, Maine against the Sea Dogs beginning June 16 at 7:00 p.m. (air at 6:45 on News Radio 1290 WNBF).

This project was carried out after a competition launched on the occasion of the reconstruction of the Saint-Vaast church, which was destroyed by a fire in 2006.
The sculpture is both mineral and metallic, consisting of a polygonal filigrane structure, fitted with translucent white alabaster panels.
From each vertex of the prism, LED projectors emit light, filtered through the alabaster plates, and the depth of the metallic structure, acting as a diffuser.
The form is based on a tetrahedron crystal, representing the regular microscopic structure of certain materials in their natural state.
The sculpture evokes the inherent spirituality of a place of worship by the representation of the geometric natural order.
The structural design is a contemporary three-dimensional interpretation of techniques used in traditional sacred architecture, where the supporting structure is detailed both functionally and aesthetically, to be sublimated until becoming expressive and meaningful. In this way, envelope and structure are united in a complex, but regular geometry.
Cut into thin panels, alabaster has exceptional qualities for filtering light and diffusing a soft palette of colours, ranging from pure white to light yellow. The diffused light reveals the veins of the material and the different shades of the stone.

Q: How to set From filed in contact form 7 Use Mail (2) auto responder I'm trying to set a contact form on my site but have a little problem with the auto responder (use mail 2) the From field.
I'm testing it by myself so i act like an admin and a user on two different emils.
When the filed is set to:  [your name] <[your-email]> it throws an error:
Sender email address does not belong to the site domain

That's ok.
But even when set to: myMail@myDomain.com it goes to the sender junk mail.
So how can i set it please?
Thank you in advance.

A: The issue you are having is because you are using the users name and email address from the contact form submission when you should be using your own website domain email address as the error states. If you do not not have any emails set up on the domain, I would recommend you use a noreply@
I usually set my Mail 2 From Email to be:
Website Name or Company Name <noreply@your-domain.co.uk>

AM asks for continued support for Anglesey Food Park
19/09/2016By: Jamie Thomas
Ynys Môn Assembly Member Rhun ap Iorwerth has asked the Welsh Government to continue to support the idea of a Food Park in Anglesey following the Assembly elections and EU referendum.
Speaking in the Assembly chamber, Rhun ap Iorwerth AM asked the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths:
"I am very concerned about what will happen to the RDP in years to come. I did hold discussions with the Minister's predecessor on the possibility, perhaps through RDP funding, and almost certainly through the use of European funding, of establishing a food production park on Anglesey, and I was very grateful to her and her officials for responding positively to that idea. I would appreciate confirmation that the Government, under the new Cabinet Secretary, continues to support that concept in principle and is willing to hold further discussions. Will the Cabinet Secretary make a comment on the dangers of Brexit to the future of such schemes and how to overcome that, including the possibility of moving forward very quickly with such a scheme?"
Speaking after plenary, Mr ap Iorwerth added:
"I was pleased to hear the Cabinet Secretary state that she would be very happy to continue to support the concept of the food park. I will now seek a meeting with her to discuss in more detail how we can move things forward."

On Self-Citation
By Hadas Shema on July 24, 2012
Self-citing is often frowned upon, being considered (and sometimes is) vanity, egotism or an attempt in self-advertising. However, everyone self-cite because sooner or later, everyone builds upon previous findings "Given the cumulative nature of the production of new knowledge, self-citations constitute a natural part of the communication process." (Costas et al., 2010).
The argument whether citation analysis should include self-citation has been going on since the early days of citation analysis and is still ongoing. Early citation studies tended to exclude self-citation, but today's Journal Impact Factor (JIF) includes them.
Self-citing, when and where?
The percentage of self-citings out of the overall citations to articles published in high-impact journals tend to be lower, not because these authors cite themselves less, but because these articles receive more external citations. The same is true about highly cited articles: the share of self-citation in their citations is lower than in less cited articles. Aksnes (2003) studied almost 40,000 publications by Norwegian authors and showed that the percentage of self-citations for articles cited less than 5 times was about 30%, but less than 20% for articles cited 46-50 times (Fig. 1). That is probably because there are only so many times an author can cite one publication.
The more authors an article has, the more self-citations it gets. Aksnes found, for example, that articles with one author receive 1.15 self-citations on average, but articles with 10 authors receive 6.7. Someone should really check the percentage of publication self-citations for high-energy physics, with their hundreds of authors per article.
The JIF and self-citing
The JIF is particularly vulnerable for self-citations, not only because of journals' attempts to "game" it, but because its citation window is two years, when the share of self-citations is at its highest level (Fig. 2).
Requests from editors to authors to cite more of their journal's articles are one of the many ways to manipulate said JIF. In a recent article, about 20% of the respondents reported being coerced by journals into citing more articles from the specific journal they were submitting to. The saddest part was that though 86% thought the practice unethical, 57% were willing to go along with it.
Thomson-Reuters, for their part, don't consider journal self-citation to be too much of a problem. They show (unfortunately, with data from 2002) that 82% of the JCR journals have self-citation rates of 20% or less. As for journals who overdo it, they are punished by being kicked out of the JCR (temporarily).
But really, excessive self-citation is for amateurs: the real thing is forming a "citation cartel" as Phil David from The Scholarly Kitchen puts it. In April this year, after receiving a "tip from a concerned scientist" Davis did some detective work using the JCR data and found that several journals published reviews citing an unusually high number of articles fitting the JIF window from other journals. In one case, the Medical Science Monitor published a 2010 review citing 490 articles, 445 of them were published in 2008-09 in the journal Cell Transplantation (44 of the other 45 were for articles from Medical Science Journal published in 2008-09 as well). Three of the authors were Cell Transplantation editors. This is even nastier than excessive journal self-citation because, as Davis points out, self-citing can be detected without too much effort, but citation cartels are trickier. In the good news, three out of the four journals Davis reported as suspects of cartel behavior were suspended from the JCR, and Retraction Watch reports that two of the manipulating articles have been retracted. This means TR will have to remove the sentence about citation circles who "call to mind the mythical unicorn" from their next white paper.
Self-citation and the author
We've already seen that self-citation can pay off at the journal level, but what about individual authors? Fowler and Aksnes (2007) did another research on the Norwegian database, but this time it was author rather than publication oriented. The percentage of author self-citation was rather low – 11% - but every self-citation yield, on average, 3.65 citations from others in 10 years. Fowler and Aksnes concluded that "self-citation advertises not only the article in question, but the authors in question." In practical terms, this could mean that the author who managed to fit in even one more self-citation per article will be much better off years down the road than her colleague who didn't. The effect turns negative only in very high levels of self-citations (40-50 a year). It seems that self-citation make authors more visible. It's like with SAT preparation courses: it's not that you'll do better than the others if you take them; it's that you'll do worse than the others if you don't take them. Because of this effect, Fowler and Aksnes suggest not only to remove self-citations from citation counts, but to penalize them as well. However, this could hurt older or more productive scientists, who cite more simply because they have more articles to cite and more publications where to cite them. Currently, every popular index has a version free of self-citations, but it seems that most people continue to factor them in.

How to classify science news stories?
By Bonnie Swoger on July 12, 2012
The (mostly true) origins of the scientific journal


Born in San Antonio, Texas in 1958, Darnell currently lives and paints in the South of France.
He received his painting degree from the University of Texas in Austin where he continued to live and work until 1992 when he moved to Europe. Along with his wife Nicole and their children, Joseph and Ava, Darnell currently lives part time in southern France where Matisse and Picasso drew inspiration. His landscapes, flower and still life paintings have a peaceful, dream-like, photographic quality while the luminous abstract paintings have a mediative and vaguely spiritual feel.
Whether realistic or non-representational, Darnell's canvasses capture the illusion of radiant light through a technique which involves multiple layers of transparent oil paints and alkyde resins. His work is influenced by modern painters Gerhart Richter and Ross Bleckner as well as old masters such as Caravaggio and Rembrandt. Perhaps as a result of these influences, Darnell's artworks can look either modern or very old depending on their environment.

This Pink E coloured cold enamel resin paste is designed to be mixed with base resin, followed by hardener. Create beautifully coloured cabochons, moulded shapes and cold enamel effects. Opaque colour pastes can also be mixed together like paints for an endless range of colour possibilities. The paste should not exceed more than 5% of the resin weight. 2 parts resin mix (including colour paste) should be mixed with 1 part hardener, measured by weight rather than volume. Once the paste is mixed wih resin and hardener, the enamel will begin to set 45 minutes after mixing. The enamel takes 24 hours to completely cure. This product is categorised as a liquid therefore it has transport implications, as such narrowing down the choice of delivery methods.

After playing Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, I am convinced that Game Freak is incapable of dropping the ball (pun not intended). Everything about the new title convinced me that something had to go wrong. It's a remake of Pokemon Yellow, a rehash of Red and Blue Versions (which already received remakes fourteen years ago). In addition, it's incorporating the more shallow catching mechanics from the free to play Pokemon Go on mobile, usually the kiss of death a console game. On top of that, Nintendo has admitted it is a cash grab, as they wanted a Pokemon game on the Switch without rushing the true sequel. And yet, not only is Pokemon Let's Go just as fun and addicting as the core titles, but I now I want Let's Go sequels for every other Pokemon generation.
For those of you out there sold on both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, the Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection on the PS4 is a great way to get both, along with one fancy bonus: a PS4 port of Persona 4: Dancing All Night. The title once exclusive to Vita makes an appearance in this bundle and offers up a bit of a different approach to the Persona Dancing formula when compared to the newer titles. A full-fledged story mode is on offer rather than the simpler sidebar social interactions. For those vested in the characters and story of Persona 4, there's a lot to like about this brand new story.
A rhythm game to steal your heart.
Rather than retread the same ground covered in my Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight review, I'd suggest you start there to get a good feel for what Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight offers. Broadly speaking, the two are identical in composition, offer the same modifiers, unlocking stuff is done in the same ways, and the progression is consistent. Other than being skinned for Persona 5 with its music, the games provide the same great experience.
I S.E.E.S. some dancing in your future.
One of the first things that drew me into Persona 3 when I picked it up on a whim years ago, was its music. J-Pop has always been a guilty pleasure and Shoji Meguro did it incredibly well in Persona 3. That said, not all of it was J-Pop, Persona 3 featured all sorts of incredible tracks that seemed to perfectly match or even set the mood. So you can only imagine my excitement when I realized Atlus was finally giving the Dancing rhythm game treatment to Persona 3. Like a match made in heaven, Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight delivers excellent rhythm gameplay that allows you to both spend more time with the beloved cast and enjoy all of the excellent tunes.
There's been a lot of talk of Dark Souls lately. It seems like you can't read a review without tripping over some reference to the series or a game being compared to it. However, Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption fully invites the comparison, and was absolutely cast in the mold of Dark Souls. It very clearly tries to ape its gameplay and rather than copy the experience wholesale, boil it down to a boss rush mode game with a few unique twists. But in excising everything else that makes Dark Souls, Dark Souls, it loses what makes that series special.
The pups have rolled out for their video game debut.
My kids love Paw Patrol. They've been Marshall for Halloween, they've got a whole mess of the toys. They've watched countless hours of the show. Needless to say, when I saw that a game based around the show was due for release, I knew that one way or another it would find its way into my house. While it's a pretty simplistic platformer, my kids greatly enjoyed it despite its flaws.
I'm not too familiar with the point-and-click genre, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I recieved a review code for My Brother Rabbit. From what I do know, having played through the excellent Tormentum: Dark Sorrow and about an hour or so of Double Fine's Broken Age, I doubt My Brother Rabbit is breaking new ground, but it has some cool features. Find out why I think the positives and negatives of My Brother Rabbit result in an average game by watching the included video review or read the text review, if you'd prefer.
I'm starting to learn that breakneck speeds just mean more devastating crashes.
There's something imminently attractive about Grip. Between its sharp visuals, thumping soundtrack, and high speed intense racing, it's easy to be drawn in, even from just viewing its trailer. When you do finally sit down to play it, the experience proves to be equal parts frustrating and fun. For every brilliant and unique aspect of Grip, there's some negative measure to offset it.
Friends don't let friends fight evil alone.
In a land of menacing hot dogs and monster wildlife, a young boy is tasked with a great quest to save his Papa. This concept of a dangerous journey and humbly accepting a noble enterprise to save a loved one is not new to video games. The Adventure Pals, however, takes on a unique perspective to this theme by weaving in characters and scenes that keep you moving quickly through an exciting world.
It's the Dark Souls of Dark Souls!
Nine years ago, I reviewed Demon's Souls, and I'll just say that at the time… I wasn't a fan. I struggled to wrap my head around the gameplay and what made it special absolutely eluded me. Despite my contempt, when Dark Souls went on deep discount, I couldn't resist the sale and grabbed a copy. Perhaps it was fate, but purchasing Dark Souls that day set into motion an obsession I never expected to take hold of me.


Fortified Health Security, a leader in information security, compliance and managed services focused solely in the healthcare industry, has released its 2018 Horizon Report. This extensive report details the current state of cybersecurity in healthcare, new and existing threats and predictions for 2018.
Healthcare organizations must strike a balance between enabling patient engagement initiatives and securing patient data. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix for this complex challenge. Organizations must develop and execute the fundamentals of security first, before exploring advanced solutions. This requires a defensive in-depth approach to cybersecurity that is grounded in a detailed HIPAA Security Risk Analysis and a companion corrective action plan.
The Horizon Report provides a review of the state of cybersecurity in 2017 with a focus on the increase in the frequency of breaches in the healthcare industry. According to data provided by The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), hacking continues to be the biggest cause of breaches for the sixth year in a row. This year, 40 percent of all breaches were caused by hacking, which is a 10 percent increase over full year 2016.
In 2017, Fortified conducted a security risk analysis, OCR mock audits, HITRUST certifications and strategic security planning for the majority of its clients. Although varied in size, revenue, network complexities and geography, three common trends were identified: 1) Policies and procedures are weak, or don't align with the actual implementation of safeguards; 2) Organizations lack concise asset inventories; 3) There is a lack of well-structured vulnerability management programs.
Fortified Health Security's Horizon Report can be downloaded here.


Hope that you don't have an allergy to schadenfreude, because this is the pure stuff: " For years, Harvard's experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar." Turns out that adding mandatory procedures and extra coverage costs money; so does the 'Cadillac tax' on high-end plans like Harvard's. So Harvard went and passed those extra costs to policy holders – like everybody else did – and said policy holders are, well, freaking out.

Q: Jquery: animate element randomly on click I wonder if I can animate elements on click randomly. I have this code:
$('.div').click(function(){
       if( $(this).hasClass('active')){
           var divAnim=$(this).animate({bottom:'+=600', left:'+=600'},1000);
           var rand=Math.floor(Math.random() * divAnim);
           rand;
       }
       return true;

  });

But the result is the same without the line "Math Random". Is it possible to achieve a random animation that changes the default values?

A: Here is an example snippet of jquery site. Note the CSS part. Your div container needs an absolute position so it knows where to start from.

function makeNewPosition(){

    // Get viewport dimensions (remove the dimension of the div)
    var h = $('#block_wrapper').height() - 50;
    var w = $('#block_wrapper').width() - 50;

    var nh = Math.floor(Math.random() * h);
    var nw = Math.floor(Math.random() * w);

    return [nh,nw];

}
$( "#go" ).click(function() {

  var pos = makeNewPosition();
  $('#block').animate({ top: pos[0], left: pos[1] });

});
#block_wrapper {
    position: relative;
    width:600px;
    height:400px;
    background:#f4f4f4;
  }
  #block {
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #abc;
    left: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    margin: 5px;
  }

<button id="go">» Run</button>

Hello!

UPDATED SNIPPED ABOVE

A: How about this? (P.s typing on my phone)
 $('.div').click(function(){
   if( $(this).hasClass('active')){

 var randomHeight= Math.floor(Math.random() * $(window).height());

 var randomWidth= Math.floor(Math.random() * $(window).width());

       $(this).animate({bottom: randomHeight, left:     randomWidth},1000);

   }
   return true;

  });
