Today is a Great Day to Be Gay!
by Cilantro Che Guevara
In the past year or so, several states have legalized gay marriage. Yippeee, right? Well until today, "getting married" for gay people meant little more than legal recognition in those states thanks to a federal (f)law called the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). "Married" gay couples were denied the same federal rights as married straight couples, including things like insurance benefits, Social Security survivors' benefits, immigration, and most notably, joint tax returns. Yeah, thanks for the "marriage" label guys, but we kinda want to get married for other reasons than invalidating the sacred bond of heterosexuality!
In a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court today, a section of DOMA was ruled as unconstitutional that allows gay married couples those same rights. A pretty heartbreaking story that's going around the Internet right now illustrates the success of this decision:
Eighty-three-year-old New Yorker Edith Windsor brought the DOMA suit after she was made to pay more than $363,000 in estate taxes when her same-sex spouse died. If the federal government had recognized her marriage, Windsor would not have owed the sum. She argued that the government has no rational reason to exclude her marriage (she and her late partner, Thea Spyer, had been married since 2007, and together for more than four decades) from the benefits and obligations other married couples receive.
Edith is just one of many who had been unfairly denied their rights by the completely bullshit laws made possible by DOMA — or as I like to call it, DUMBASS. You can bet she is a very happy lady right now, and you should be too!

DANDRUFF: Dandruff in your hair might mean you're deficient in Omega 3, Selenium or Vitamin A which you can find in sardines, brazil nuts, beef liver just to mention a few.
EASY BRUISING: Bruising easily does not automatically make you an ajebutter. It just might mean you are in need of some vitamin c. Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C.
TWITCHING: Sometimes, you notice your eyes twitching? And not with anger the way some fictitious TV characters do, just involuntarily. It might mean you're deficient in one or more of the following – vitamin D, Magnesium, calcium, Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B9. These nutrients you can get in beans and nuts, whole grains such as whole wheat bread and green leafy vegetables.
BLEEDING GUMS: Bleeding gums might mean you are deficient in vitamin C and folic acid. Citrus fruits and avocado pear, okra, spinach, broccoli, dried beans, peas and nuts provide you enough folic acid and vitamin c for that nutrient you require.
UNUSUAL NOSEBLEEDS: Try some citrusy foods for this, you might be needing some vitamin C nutrients.
POOR NIGHT VISION: As the jingle from a popular Nigerian beverage says it "Vitamin A for good sight…" So ensure you get your vitamin A dosages from beef, liver and carrots.
MUSCLE CRAMPING: Your middle toes suddenly lock together painfully? Your body might be hungry for some Magnesium, B1, B2and Vitamin B6. Whole grains to the rescue yet again.
PALE LOWER LID: Doctors seem to like this one a lot – the act of checking your inner lower lids. Pale lower eyelids could mean you need more iron.
CRACKS IN THE CORNER OF THE MOUTH: Yes, those painful embarrassing cracks are really a sign of malnutrition and it means you need some vitamin B6 in your system.
MENSTRUAL PIMPLES: Acne during menstruation besides announcing to the world that you're on your period, could also mean you need some B6. Eat plenty of fish, beef liver and other organ meats, like tripes, potatoes and other starchy vegetables. One for the girls wouldn't you say?
Do you pay attention to your body? How much of your body's signs do you recognize?

Rambam (Maimonides), talks about different kinds of people
I have heard in school from our teacher that Rambam talks about different kinds of people, one that sees things he does not understand and disregards them as nonsense, another who when faced with things he does not understand will wait with his judgment until he can understand it better.
I would like to read this from the text; does anyone know where this is written?

are you ref to aggadata,try Rambam intro to perek hachelek of sanhedrian,or maybe his someneh perakim – sam Sep 6 '12 at 18:36
In reference to Midrashim, RaMBa"M castigates those who say that a Midrash doesn't make sense and throw it aside, calls fools those who take Midrashim literally even when they contradict common sense, and praises those who seek to understand Midrashim for their relative value of teaching an important message. I believe this is in his introduction to Perek Helek of Sanhedrin (8th Perek) in his commentary on the Mishnayoth, although I could be wrong on that. – Seth J Sep 6 '12 at 18:40
This is quoted and translated here – b a Sep 7 '12 at 0:33
In his introduction to Perek Cheilek, the Rambam writes that there are three kinds of people with different attitudes towards statements of Chazal that they don't understand: (1) those who accept their words according to their simplistic (and erroneous) understanding, thereby distorting their true meaning, (2) those who don't understand them and write them off as nonesense, and (3) those who recognize that there's wisdom hidden in their words, and attempt to uncover that wisdom.
At the end of Hilchos Me'ilah, the Rambam says a similar thing regarding attitudes towards mitzvos that don't seem to make sense at face value: some might dismiss them as nonsense, but the correct approach is to recognize their wisdom and attempt to uncover their meaning. (He doesn't describe these as categories of people, but it sounds like he felt that these types of people were around)
הנער הזההנער הזה
Just to clarify -- this is in his commentary to the Mishna, introducing the final chapter of Sanhedrin (known as "chelek", or "share", as it addresses who has a share in the World to Come). There are a lot of larger-than-life stories in that chapter. – Shalom Dec 24 '14 at 9:22
Maimonides himself gives the following example: the Talmud says "in the future, the land of Israel shall sprout forth fine cakes and luxury textiles" -- which must have sounded unlikely in the year 400, when the land was pretty empty and dusty. Sure enough, I've seen a kids' magazine with a picture that says: "when Moshiach comes, cake and clothing will grow from trees in Israel!", with an illustration. Maimonides says explicitly that this was metaphoric language for an economic explosion that would make goods as available "as if they grew on trees." – Shalom Dec 24 '14 at 9:25
He also says that Category 1 people will take outlandish Talmudic statements, and translate them literally in public for the masses, insisting that's all there is to them -- which no one with a brain could handle. The Category 2 people, who just assume the rabbis were fools, ignore all the material in the Talmud that most scholars would tell you is vital from the perspective of the human condition -- ask any psychologist about the significance of the Jewish ways of mourning, which were developed by the rabbis of the Talmud. And Category 3 has so few people, it's barely a category! – Shalom Dec 24 '14 at 9:28

Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame
Logo Design Contest
Osama Siblani
Inducted 2013
The Arab American News
The founder and publisher of the oldest running bilingual Arab weekly in the nation is Osama Siblani.
He emigrated from Lebanon to Detroit in 1976, with $185 in his pocket, and worked at odd jobs, sometimes three at a time. He saved, went to the University of Detroit-Mercy, and became an engineer.
But he was bothered that the news media contained so little about Arabs and Arab Americans. So, he and M. Kay Siblani started a newspaper in 1984 for Michigan's Arab community, the heaviest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation.
Publishing The Arab American News in both Arabic and English—two newspapers in one—meant bringing staff and typesetting equipment from the Middle East. And, there were other challenges: Siblani went into personal bankruptcy; animosity toward Arabs and Muslims led to vandalism of the newspaper's offices; and his life was threatened. Through it all, he has kept publishing. The newspaper continues to increase both its print and digital circulation.
For the past 30 years, Siblani has launched the careers of Arab and non-Arab journalists, and works with publishers of other ethnic media to provide more accurate coverage of an increasingly diverse nation. It must be working. National media and government officials frequently turn to The Arab American News and to Siblani as windows into the Arab community with their sources and views that are unique to other media. His is nationally recognized as a leader in this arena.

For the fifth consecutive year, Cisco – worldwide leader in IT – has announced its strategic partnership for Sri Lanka's premier annual Cyber Security Summit 2017 edition.
The summit on 27 and 28 September at Cinnamon Grand consists of three key events: Cyber Security Day Conference and Hangout with Hackers (Night Hack) –an innovative and informative evening on the 27th, and the CEOs' Forum on Cyber Security on the 28th.
The summit is co-organised by CICRA – Sri Lanka's pioneering cyber security training and consultancy organisation – and Daily FT, the country's only business and finance newspaper.
CICRA Group Director/CEO Boshan Dayaratne said that the co-organisers were honoured to have Cisco – a global leader that supports companies of all sizes to transform how people connect, communicate, and collaborate – as a main sponsor of the summit.
"This year's summit will be a bigger and better experience with a number of international and local cyber security experts addressing the gathering. The highlight of the event would be the two founder members of world's toughest hacking groups – LulzSec and Anonymous. They had been convicted and are now engaged in ethical hacking," Dayaratne said.
"The summit will also expose latest flaws in information security that affects the global community including the corporations and the governments. Discussions and presentations will revolve around some of the most malicious attacks and potential threats surrounding the security field," Dayaratne added.

Ardbeg 1965 Tops McTear's March Auction
/Ardbeg 1965 Tops McTear's/
March 27, 2015 – A rare Ardbeg 1965 took top bid honors during the monthly auction of rare whiskies Wednesday at McTear's in Glasgow with a hammer price of £4,200 ($6,250 USD). The 2005 bottling came from two consecutively filled casks (#3678 and #3679), and was bottle number 31 of 261.
496 lots went on the block, with runner-up honors going to a 50-year-old Glenfarclas distilled in 1955 and bottled on September 9, 2005 to mark the 200th anniversary of distillery founder John Grant's birth. #71 of 110 bottles brought a high bid of £3,800 ($5,654 USD), narrowly beating out the lone Black Bowmore of the auction, a second-edition bottling from 1994 which brought a high bid of £3,400 ($5,058 USD).
Other bottles of interest included a 21-year-old Port Ellen bottled in 1998 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Port Ellen Maltings and listing the names of the staff on the rear label. The winning bid was £1,800 ($2,678 USD). A 1950 Macallan distillery bottling distributed by Gordon & MacPhail brought a high bid of £2,400 ($3,571 USD). While there have been many bottlings sold at auction that were produced to celebrate the retirements of distillery managers and corporate executives, one of six bottles of Highland Park Aged Almost 40 Years produced several years ago on the 40th birthday of the brand's former global controller, Jason Craig, made it to the block. The pre-auction estimate was between £200 and £300, but bidding for the bottle ended at £600 ($893).
The next McTear's auction is scheduled for April 29 in Glasgow.

HOMES FOR SALE | ROSHARON TEXAS | JOHNNA JOHNSON| REMAX TOP REALTOR | 713.558.2515 | PLAN TO BUY OR SALE TODAY
ROSHARON, TEXAS. Rosharon is at the intersection of Farm roads 521 and 1462, fourteen miles north of Angleton and 7½ miles east of the Brazos River in northern Brazoria County. The site was settled before the Civil War by cotton and sugar planters and probably had no name until 1859, when the Columbia Tap Railroad was completed and a stop there was named Masterson's Station for the owner of a nearby plantation. It was also known locally as Buttermilk Station because an early resident frequently brought a bucket of buttermilk and a dipper to the stop to treat the crew to a drink. About 1900 George Wetmore Colles bought property near the site. He called his place, and later the town, the Rose of Sharon Garden Ranch because of the Cherokee roses growing in the area. The town's name was later shortened to Rosharon. Colles obtained a post office in 1912 and designed the community water system. A. G. Arcaro operated the first store and the post office in one room of his house. After the business was sold, the post office was closed, then reopened in Boyd's Store thanks to the efforts of Tom Lochridge. This post office closed in 1920. Lochridge platted the townsite and had a cotton gin moved to Rosharon from Houston, thus providing employment for several persons. The gin's engine was used for the town's first power plant. He also operated the community's first telephone exchange in his home. The first school was held in a private home and later moved to a separate building. Some years later the Rosharon district was consolidated with the Angleton schools; students were bused to Angleton in the late twentieth century. Church meetings were first held in a former school, then in a tavern that community members had bought and converted into a church. Eventually a brick church was constructed. South Texas Water Company located in Rosharon in 1935, and its fresh watercanals for irrigating rice brought some seventy-five to eighty rice farmers to the area. The population was estimated at 500 in 1988, when the town had a post office. Most residents commuted to jobs in nearby towns, but the surrounding land was still used for ranching and farming. The main crops were rice and soybeans, with lesser amounts of corn and some cotton.

When I do puppy training I don't expect to find a family in total chaos. But this puppy family was different. The proud but frustrated owners of Maddie, the French Bull Dog puppy were stressed beyond belief in their puppy training efforts.
John and Mary, a young couple in their late 20's had both grown up with family pets in their respective homes. But their recollection was of older, laid back dogs that just sat around the family room and fireplace. The dogs were just there. They were great dogs – in fact – perfect dogs.
I find that many new puppy owners think, "It wasn't a problem for mom and dad when I grew up so, how much trouble can it be?" For some it's a rude awakening – trouble from day one with their puppy training and there are those that really luck out and get a problem-free puppy right from the get-go. John and Mary were just getting through the rude awakening part.
Our first lesson was on a Friday and by Monday morning Maddie was hitting the grass 90% of the time. They gated her in the kitchen during the work day – grass potty at one end, bed, bone and Kong at the other and just a little water in her bowl.
Develop a reward history for going on her grass potty: Praise and treat on the spot.
Catch mistakes before they happen: Keeping her on a leash when out of her space and with them in the house.
Secure Maddie: Put her in her space when you cannot supervise her.
Once potty training was under control, Maddie learned her obedience commands and John and Mary learned how to use the commands to teach her "give before she receives" (sit for food, toys, affection, etc.) so that they always stayed in control of the relationship which we call the Ground Rules for Great Dogs. I also recommended that John and Mary keep up Maddie's obedience training by doing 3 short training sessions daily but only for two minutes. This gave Maddie a sense of working for them instead of John and Mary following Maddie's lead by giving in to her nudging for affection or anything else she wanted.
I told them, "Puppies have a lot of love to give – and maybe you get a lot of frustration and hard work along the way. It winds up being very rewarding in the end with many years of good times and memories. Good dogs just don't come that way. You have to earn it to enjoy it. Just ask your mom and dad!

Jim Burwell, professional dog trainer for 25+ years, has a profound understanding of dog behavior and the many things, we as humans, do that influence that behavior – good or bad. Jim has the ability to not only steer dogs and puppies down the right path but to also train the owners to understand their part in having a great dog.
His Nose to Tail Puppy Training is the culmination of these years of training into an easy, step-by-step process so that your puppy understands what you expect of him because you know how to teach him. You empower him to be able to give you the behavior you want and you empower him to be successful at living in a human home. The result – one awesome puppy and one happy family.

My first read of 2016: What a great book to kick off the year with.
A Little in Love is a YA retelling of Eponine's story from Les Mis written by Susan Fletcher. Now I'll admit I've never read Victor Hugo's Les Mis so I cannot vouch for how true it is to the original however according to other reviews I've read it seems to be that Susan Fletcher remains integral to the plot without her story being a complete transcript.
The premise of this story is what caused me to pick this book up, I've seen both the film and west-end musical of Les Mis and while I adored both of these I've always felt that the character of Eponine was never explored as much as she could have been. Boy does this book fill that gap!
The book is divided into six parts that follow Eponine from her horrendous childhood to her tragic ending. The chapters are quite short and very easy to get through, I read this book within two days, The story is gripping and Susan Fletcher's writing style is just beautiful. Her narrative is deliciously descriptive which really transports you into Eponine's world.
After reading this book I have so much more respect for the character of Eponine then I ever had before, Fletcher writes her as a beautifully complex teenager who is much brighter than people see her as.
Reading Eponine's story left me feeling hopeful and haunted. It's a story that will stay with me.
Physical Book: Beautiful! The red edged pages are stunning. The cover is haunting.
Favourite Quote? Love. It's almost the smallest word I know…But It's not a small feeling.

Hurricane Maria Leaves Puerto Rico Facing Months Without Power
Downed trees cover a street in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after the passage of Hurricane Maria on Sept. 20. After leaving a deadly trail of destruction on a string of smaller Caribbean islands, Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico's southeast coast around daybreak, packing winds of around 150 mph.Hector Retamal / AFP - Getty Images
Sept. 21, 2017, 10:39 AM UTC / Updated Sept. 21, 2017, 10:46 PM UTC
By Yuliya Talmazan, Ema Jimenez, Daniel Arkin and Daniella Silva
Millions of people across Puerto Rico woke up Thursday to a grim new reality.
Hurricane Maria, the most powerful storm to hit the U.S. territory in almost a century, ravaged the island, demolishing homes and knocking out all electricity. It could take half a year to restore power to the nearly 3.5 million people who live there.
The eye of the storm moved offshore overnight, but the danger remained Thursday: Intense flooding was reported, particularly in San Juan, where many residential streets looked like rushing rivers.
The storm has been blamed for the deaths of 18 people, including two in Puerto Rico, but many fear that toll could climb as authorities were beginning to assess the extent of the damage and search for survivors.
Puerto Rico Could Be Powerless For Months After Maria
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz said the devastation in the capital city was unlike any she had ever seen.
"The San Juan that we knew yesterday is no longer there," Cruz told MSNBC. "We're looking at 4 to 6 months without electricity."
Yennifer Álvarez Jaimes, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló's press secretary, said all power across the economically strained island had been knocked out.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the entire island shortly after 12:30 a.m. ET Thursday. Residents were urged to move to higher ground if possible.

The storm, with its fierce winds and heavy rain, toppled trees, shattered windows, and ripped roofs and doors off homes. Widespread flooding blocked many highways and streets across the island Thursday, creating a maze that forced drivers to go against traffic.

Gregorio Cortes 39, a doctor in Vistamar Marina, a community in Carolina, Puerto Rico, said several highways were impassible.
"This morning I wasn't able to get across several major highways here since there's flooding everywhere and fallen trees," he said by phone Thursday evening.
The Morning Rundown
Get a head start on the morning's top stories.
Cell phone communication was completely down from Thursday morning until around 4 p.m., he said, leaving Cortes unable to reach his parents and grandparents.
"It's a feeling of impotence that you have you want to do so much and you can do so little," he said.
Cortes said he traveled to their houses, and thankfully found his relatives safe and sound.
But while the trip usually took about ten or 15 minutes, this time the trip took between an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes, he said.

Cortes added that the had lived through several previous hurricanes on the island, but had never experienced one like this.
"I've been in Hugo, I've been in Georges and this was by far the worst," he said, referring to two previous major storms."
"I've never been in a war zone, but what you see in movies — it's like that," he added.
San Juan resident Heidi Roque, 21, told NBC News her home was left with shattered windows, damaged fences and broken doors.
She was worried about her grandmother, who lives alone in the town of Trujillo Alto, because she has no power or water. Roque's family hasn't heard from her since early Wednesday.
"I fear Puerto Rico won't be the same when this is over. Not after this storm," Roque said choking back tears. "This is the first time our family was faced with something so monstrous, we didn't know how to react," Roque said.
Outside an apartment building in San Juan, 40-year-old tourism company operator Adrian Pacheco recounted how he spent eight hours in a stairwell huddled with 100 other residents when the hurricane ripped the storm shutters off his building.
"Months and months and months and months are going to pass before we can recover from this," Felix Delgado, mayor of the northern coastal city of Catano, told The Associated Press.
President Donald Trump has approved a federal disaster declaration for Puerto Rico, the White House announced.
Hurricane Irma sideswiped Puerto Rico on Sept. 6, leaving more than 1 million people without power but causing no deaths or widespread damage like it did on nearby islands.
Maria, however, blew out windows at some hospitals and police stations, turned some streets into roaring rivers and destroyed hundreds of homes across the island. A storm surge of more than 4 feet was also reported.
Puerto Rico's electric grid was crumbling amid lack of maintenance and a dwindling staff even before Maria and Irma hit the island. The territory's infrastructure has gone neglected for years, and its power company defaulted on a debt-restructuring deal in July.

Rosselló imposed a 6 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew, citing flood warnings and the importance of keeping streets clear for repair and rescue teams.
Airports in San Juan, Aguadilla and Ponce were ordered closed until Friday at the earliest because of flooding and debris, authorities said.
Maria, the strongest storm to hit Puerto Rico since 1928, had maximum sustained winds of 155 mph when it made landfall as a Category 4 storm near the town of Yabucoa just after 6 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said.
The storm weakened as it battered Puerto Rico, but strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane early Thursday.
At 11 a.m. ET, it was moving past northeastern Dominican Republic on its way to the Turks and Caicos.
With maximum sustained winds of near 115 mph, Maria was expected to move near the British overseas territory and the southeastern Bahamas Thursday night and into Friday.
The center warned that Maria could regain some strength in the next day or so.
Maria left a trail of "total destruction" in Dominica, where the prime minister said at least 15 people have died. Two more people lost their lives as the result of the storm, one in the French Caribbean territory of Guadeloupe and two in Puerto Rico.
Forecasters said it remained too early to know how close Maria will move to the U.S. mainland.

A YOUTH on trial for murder admitted punching the alleged victim and later smoked cannabis which the prosecution say was stolen from the deceased.
The 17-year-old, from Blacon, who can't be named, told Chester Crown Court he punched Christopher Garwell, 23, twice and saw co-accused Kieran Cunnah, of Durham Road, Blacon, kick him in the face. Both deny murder.
But the defendant claimed he had no idea Mr Garwell, from Connah's Quay, had been badly injured in the city walls incident on June 3 and only ran from the scene out of a fear he may be arrested for assault.
Under cross examination, the 17-year-old admitted being present during an earlier incident at Charlotte Court when David Tushingham, a former defendant in the case, punched Mr Garwell in the face after he refused to hand over his drugs and said Cunnah, 18, also hit him.
The 17-year-old picked up a bag of cannabis from the floor, which he "didn't know" belonged to Mr Garwell and smoked it later that night.
Recalling the incident on the walls, the defendant, answering questions from his own defence barrister, remembered overhearing Mr Garwell on his mobile phone saying "Get the boys down, I've been banged".
He said there was then a confrontation in which he claimed Mr Garwell "put his arms out and said 'Come on then' " and moved towards him and another teenage member of the group.
Asked why, he replied: "I thought he was going to do it to me first." Mr Garwell responded by repeating 'Come on', he said, at which point the defendant punched him again. He said Kieran Cunnah then kicked Mr Garwell to his face.
The 17-year-old said neither of his punches caused Mr Garwell any real damage or caused him to fall to the ground. He only found out how serious the incident was "days after" when his mum told him police had been to his house.

The Pervasive Impact of Technology
Approximately one year ago, I committed to taking three months to research the impact that technological change is/was having on the development/ design/ construction industries, because it is an industry I have worked in and enjoyed for over 40 years. The three months grew to six months, and with the review of two significant books, the time impact expanded to 9 months.
In the "About Gordian Views" in this blog I noted that I had seen first-hand the impact of 18- 22 percent inflation in the mid 1970's when we had made significant changes in the way we did our work simply because there was no choice. If we delayed a project as little as one year, it became financially infeasible.
I also saw the impact that three significant recessions had on our industry—but I was always able to work and contribute through each. It wasn't always easy, but there was always a pathway.
Today, as we are watch new technology breakthroughs introduce change into every industry, we are seeing jobs diminish or disappear. The increased productivity is a boon to the owners and users of the facilities we build and the productivity is good for those companies that are adapting. The negative impact is that this time, those jobs are not being replaced.
This past week I found two very telling stories that underscore how wide reaching this technology "wave" is across our world. The first was in the Financial Times, and written by John Thornhill. The title is " Europe is ill-equipped for borderless world of technology". Please Google ft.com for the complete article, but I offer a short excerpt in the following;
"The disruptive force of technology threatens to uproot many of the industries on which Europe has built its prosperity and challenge the balance of power across the world. This technological challenge, of course, is convulsing all governments, societies and economies. But some US tech entrepreneurs, who attended the Ambrosetti forum in Italy at the weekend, warned that Europe might be particularly exposed to the fast-changing "techno-geopolitics" of the world.
Craig Mundie, Microsoft's former chief research and strategy officer, says: "People still talk about the geopolitics of oil. But now we have to talk about the geopolitics of technology. Technology is creating a new type of interaction of a geopolitical scale and importance."
The second article was in today's Denver Post. It is titled " Robots take root on smaller dairy farms upping production" by Lisa Rathke, Associated Press. Again I suggest you Google for the entire article, but here is an excerpt:
Robots have taken up residence at some small- and medium-sized dairy farms across the country, providing reliable and more efficient labor and helping the businesses remain viable. Plus, farmers say, the milking technology makes for happier, more productive cows. Dairy operations here and abroad have used robotic milkers for more than a decade. But with more manufacturers and dealerships emerging in the U.S., the number of smaller farms in Iowa with the technology has doubled over the last two years, from roughly 20 to more than 40, and family farms in the Northeast also are plugging in. The cost of not automating the milking process may be greater for some farmers than shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars, experts say.
Lastly, to further underscore how pervasive technology driven change has become, please note the following press release from Colorado State University.
"Colorado State University has tapped a proven leader to position the College of Agricultural Sciences to drive innovation and entrepreneurship within the state's agricultural industry. Ajay Menon will become the college's next dean beginning July 1.
Menon served for the last 13 years as the dean of the College of Business, where he recruited faculty and created programs that have helped propel that college to the top-ranked business school in Colorado. As the state's first chief innovation officer — a cabinet-level position appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper — Menon played a pivotal role in cultivating a business ecosystem that promotes entrepreneurship and innovation in Colorado."
I am renewing the research and will commit another year to writing about those areas where Technology is having a significant impact especially in design and construction.
I hope you continue to find these posts of value.

Tech in Silicon Valley has an increasingly troubled relationship with free speech.
To his credit, Pontin acknowledged that what is offensive or "harmful" rhetoric is completely subjective. "'Harm,' unless put in a small, airless box, will tend to grow to mean anything contrary to the interests of the powerful," he wrote.
If the metric of what speech is banned is personal offense, then what speech is or isn't allowed will be based entirely on who is acting as judge at the time. Pontin tweeted that he believed "the fundamental problem with [T]witter is its democratic flatness. It gives everyone a voice, and people are terrible." The issue with censorship then, would be the fact that the censors are just as capable of being "terrible" as anybody else.
The issue here is that Pontin has an abysmal view of general humanity, while indulging in a glowing worship of his own profession. Among his deleted tweets which can still be read via MuckRack, he displayed clearly biased sentiment about the virtue of journalists: "Scientists and the press are the knights of the reality based community. Reality herself has a way of coming to our rescue," he argued.
Google relied on Pontin to help determine its attitude towards free speech online. So his approach to it is troubling to say the least.


If you could choose only one of the delicious woman from the spread we have on offer this month, who would it be? The playful Bailey Brook, the very un-shy Paula Shy, the experienced Chelsea French, who I happen to know is always in need of a hard pump, or possibly the sweet innocent looks of Ulysse's have fooled you and hooked your desire. Perhaps, you can't choose and fancy a double whammy with Darcie Lee and Alyissa Kent, or maybe a bang with Beth Bennett is more your cup of tea? Whatever your choice, this month Club has sort the best ladies to warm your conkers this autumn, so unbuckle, relax, and let your rod point you in the right direction for once.

Goa Velha ("Velha" means old in Portuguese), referring to a census town in North Goa district in the Indian state of Goa. Goa had been under Portuguese rule from 1510 and became the administrative seat of Portuguese India, although the Viceroy transferred his residence in 1759 to the future capital, Panaji (then Pangim). The Republic of India incorporated it in 1961.

Christianity constitutes India's third-largest religion, following Hinduism and Islam. Evidence hints that Christians have been in India almost for as long as the religion has existed, founded by the Apostle Thomas shortly after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. During the Age of Discovery, Vasco da Gama worked his way around the Horn of Africa, arriving in Calcut in 1498, beginning Portugal's colonies in India. Portugal established Goa as its center of trade and colonization, Goa Velha (Old Goa) representing the original settlements with churches, convents, and commercial buildings, collectively designated by UNESCO a World Heritage Site.
The Vijayanagar and Bahamani kings founded the city in the fifteenth century as a port for their kingdoms. Old Goa acted as the second capital of Bijapur under the rule of Adil Shah. Surrounded by a moat, the city contained the Shah's palace, and his mosques and temples. The city of Goa in south-western India had been under Portuguese rule from 1510 and became the administrative seat of Portuguese India, although the Viceroy transferred his residence in 1759 to the future capital, Panaji (then Pangim). The Republic of India incorporated it in 1961.
The population counted roughly 200,000 by 1543. Malaria and cholera epidemics ravaged the city in the seventeenth century; largely abandoned, only a population of 1,500 in 1775. At that time the viceroy moved the palace of Adil Shah to Panaji. After religious suppression in 1835, the city had been virtually deserted.
World Heritage Monuments
The churches and convents of Goa, the former capital of the Portuguese Indies – particularly the Bom Jesus Basilica, which contains the tomb of St Francis-Xavier – illustrate the evangelization of Asia. Those monuments proved influential in spreading forms of Manueline, Mannerist and Baroque art in all the countries of Asia where missions were established.
UNESCO listed seven churches and convents in Goa Velha in its World Heritage Site designation: Church of Bom Jesus, Saint Catherine's Chapel, Church and Convent of Saint Francis of Assisi, The Cathedral, Saint Gaetan and its seminary, Our Lady of the Rosary, and Saint Augustine Tower.
Churches of Old Goa
Old Goa contains churches affiliated to various congregations, including the Se Cathedral (the seat of the Archbishop of Goa), the church of St Francis of Assisi, the church of S. Caetano, and notably, the Basilica of Bom Jesus which contains the incorruptible body of Saint Francis Xavier
Old Goa, Goa
The Basilica of Bom Jesus or Basilica of Bom Jesu (Portuguese: Basílica do Bom Jesus) is located in Goa, India. The basilica holds the mortal remains of Francis Xavier. The church, located in Old Goa, the capital of Goa in the early days of Portuguese rule, about ten km from the city of Panjim.
'Bom Jesus' (literally, 'Good (or Holy) Jesus'), the name used for the infant Jesus, named India's first Minor Basilica, considered as one of the best examples of baroque architecture in India.
UNESCO designed the basilica a World Heritage Site in 1985, part of the complex of monasteries and convents in Old Goa. Built in 1695, Bom Jesus has emerged as a landmark in the history of Christianity. It contains the body of Saint Francis Xavier, a member of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) founded by St. Ignatius Loyola. Saint Francis Xavier died while on a sea voyage to China on December 2, 1552.
The following year, while transferring Francis Xavier's remains to Goa, in accordance with his wishes, legend records that the saint's body remained as fresh as the burial day. The relic attracts a multitude devotees from all over the world, especially during the public viewing of his body every ten years (last held in 2004). Legend portrays the saint as having miraculous powers of healing, and pilgrims come from all over the country for cures to their illnesses.
One of the richest churches in Goa, the basilica has marble flooring and inlaid precious stones. Apart from the elaborate gilded altars, the interior of the church appears simple. The church also holds paintings of Saint Francis Xavier. The last of the Medicis, Cosimo III, the Grand Duke of Tuscany made a gift of the Tomb of Saint Francis Xavier (1696).
The seventeenth century Florentine sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini carved the tomb, requiring ten years to complete. Craftsmen made the casket containing his body out of silver. Every ten years, during the anniversary of the Saint's death, priests display holy relics. The church holds his feast the third of December.
On the upper level, overlooking the tomb, is the Bom Jesus Basilica Art Gallery, containing the works of the Goan surrealist painter, Dom Martin.
Author and fellow Jesuit Anthony De Mello also worked in Goa, mentioning the cathedral in his writing.
Nearly 400 years old, the Basilica of Bom Jesus church has relics of Saint Francis Xavier; his body kept in well decorated casket seen in the photographs below. Open to public daily, although one may touch it except during the periodic expositions. Some photos taken inside the church convey a sense of the art work, called "Murals," of that time.

Se Cathedral of Santa Catarina
Sé Cathedral of Santa Catarina, Goa Velha
Se Cathedral (Sé Cathedral of Santa Catarina), a cathedral dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria, stands in Old Goa, India. One of the oldest and most celebrated religious buildings in Goa, Sé Cathedral represents one of the largest churches in Asia, sited by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage Site.
The Se Cathedral had been built to commemorate the victory of the Portuguese under Afonso de Albuquerque over a Muslim army, leading to the capture of the city of Goa in 1510. Since the day of the victory fell on the day of the feast of Saint Catherine, the Portuguese dedicated the cathedral to her.
Governor George Cabral commissioned an enlargement of the cathedral in 1552 on the remains of an earlier structure. The actual construction began in 1562 under the reign of King Dom Sebastião. The Cathedral finally reached completion in 1619, consecrated in 1640.
Reredos inside the cathedral
The architecture style of Se Cathedral classifies as Portuguese-Gothic. The exterior has been styled Tuscan, with the interior Corinthian. The church measures 250 feet in length and 181 feet in breath. The frontispiece stands 115 feet high.
Inside the Cathedral
The Se Cathedral's tower houses a large bell known as the "Golden Bell" on account of its rich tone. Some consider the bell the largest in Goa, and one of the best in the world. The main altar has been dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria. Several old paintings sit on either side of it. A Chapel of the Cross of Miracles stands to the right, where legend reports a vision of Christ appeared in 1919. Six main panels, depicting scenes from the life of Saint Catherine, have been carved. A huge gilded reredos hangs above the main altar.
Se Cathedral also houses a baptismal font, made in 1532, used by Saint Francis Xavier, the patron saint of Goa, to baptize several Goan converts.

Church of Saint Anne
The Church of St. Anne is the name of a religious monument located in Santana, Goa, India, an example of baroque architecture. Majestically nestled in the verdant hills of Santana, Talaulim, the Church of Anne received "National Monument" designation during the Portuguese era per Government Portario No. 1360 of 31/3/31. That Portario, studded like priceless diamonds, also listed the Bom Jesus Basilica, the Se Cathedral, the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, the Convent of Santa Monica and the Church of Saint Cajetan. Each of those, monumental in their architectural splendor, and all of them huddled in the former Portuguese capital of Old Goa, Goa.
Velha Goa church
Upon Goa's annexation by India, while the the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) effectively took over the aforementioned edifices and embraced them as "national monuments," the church of Saint Anne had been singularly overlooked and remains forsaken to this day, although the most exquisite and the largest surviving monument of its kind in Asia. Goan artist and writer Dom Martin soliciting funds in 1974 to replace the deteriorated roof, saving the edifice from collapse.
Monsignor Francisco de Rego (1681-1689) began construction of the Church of Saint Anne in 1577; its completion in 1695 fell to his successor, Rev. Fr. Antonio Francisco da Cunha. Legend states that during the construction, Bartholomeu Marchon, an elderly villager, had a vision of an old lady with a staff in hand and donning a hat, ambling down the neighboring hill. She told Bartholomeu that the Church under construction would be her home, and she intended to reside there.
A Brahmin lady of high social standing, gravely ill and almost in death's clutch, had an encounter with a similar apparition. The celestial apparition anointed the lady with a miraculous cure and, as a token of supreme gratitude, she embraced Christianity. Word of her miraculous cure sifted down to the village priest who instantly interpreted it as a sign of divine intervention and, without further ado, consecrated the church in honor of Saint Anne.
High up in the transept facing the sanctuary, one can see a relief picture depicting the scene of Saint Anne with a staff in hand and wearing a hat as seen in the apparitions.
Gaudas Reconversion to Hinduism
The Gaudas, nominally Christians but holding on to their basic Hindu beliefs, opted to reconvert to Hinduism when the Christian Church denied marriage rites for their younger people. They now stay close to the Santa Ana church but practice Hinduism. They gave up their last name, 'Fernanded' and took up the Hindu last names of Vernekar. The older generation continue to have Christian first names while the younger generation typically receive Hindu names.

New York Yankees' Aaron Judge, what a true professional. There are many words that can be used to describe him, but I think classy and white-collar are the two best. Last season, Judge put together a historic run in his rookie campaign. With all of his success, he never took all of the credit, but he rather expressed his confidence in his teammates and coaches.
Judges numbers: .284 AVG, 52 HR, 114 RBI, .422 OBP and a .627 SLG as per Baseball Reference.
Watching what he did over the course of the 162 game schedule and in the playoffs was astonishing. Judge carried the Yankees lineup in the beginning of the season last year when Sanchez, Didi and Bird were out with injuries.
Judge received the most All-Star Game votes last season for the American League with 4,448,702, according to Bleacher Report. Judge also participated in the HR Derby and emerged victorious.
Aaron was the first rookie in the history of the Derby to win it. After the All-Star Break he hit a rough patch in August. The Yankees big-hitter had a .187 AVG, 3 HR and 7 RBI in August according to MLB.com.
Judge picked it back up in September and proved that his first half was not a fluke, per MLB.com. The big bat had a .311 AVG, 15 HR and 32 RBI in September. He continued to have success for the Yankees in their playoff run, even though he had a low average of .188. He hit 4 HR and drove in 11 RBI in 13 playoff games according to MLB.com.
Judge capped off his tremendous season with the Rookie of the Year award, an accolade he had only dreamed of leading up to the season. The rookie outfielder broke the Rookie HR record, won a Silver Slugger award, hit the most home runs in a single season at Yankee season, and set the record for most walks by a rookie in a season.
Judge won AL player of the Month honors for June and September, AL Rookie of the Month honors for April, May, June and September, as per MLB.com.
Going into 2018, the Yankees will display a variety of powerful hitter in Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez.


I've been using Nokia phones since 1997, Nokia 7110, 8310, 6210, etc. Only using Nokia and recommending it to my friends and family. I bought a Nokia N95 late April 2007 and I made sure to bought a "mashail alkhaleej" warranty phone, because they claim they are the only official Nokia distributor in Saudi Arabia. Last month I wanted to update my N95 firmware to v13, I already did a previous update so I am fully aware of the process. I did my backup and ran the update, at the final steps, the one that said "Remove the battery of the phone to restart it", I did so but when I tried to restart it all I got was a black screen. Essentially bricking my N95. I took my phone to the so-called official distributor to have a look at it, after a week at the maintenance shop of "mashail alkhaleej" they notified me that the phone had "water" inside and refused to repair my phone at all. My phone was working perfectly before doing the update, and the "engineer" at the Nokia distributor claims I dropped it in water, which I did not. Now I am stuck with a brick that costed me 3000SR and no way to recover my backup from the flash memory card. I demand my phone to be repair or replaced under it's warranty. The warranty that made me make my buying choice. The money that I paid for the phone was a complete waste and I should have bought a cheaper phone from a better distributor (Sony Ericsson, Apple, Samsung, LG, Siemens, Motorlla).

Palm Pre Goes On Sale June 6 For $200
This morning Sprint announced that the much-anticipated Palm Pre will go on sale on Saturday, June 6, and will cost $200 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Sprint will require a voice/data plan with the Pre.
This morning Sprint announced that the much-anticipated Palm Pre will go on sale on Saturday, June 6, and will cost $200 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Sprint will require a voice/data plan with the Pre.Well, now we know. The simple facts are that the Palm Pre, first announced during CES back in January, goes on sale just two days before the keynote address during Apple's WWDC. Will two days be enough to ring in strong sales over the weekend, or will people wait until Apple makes its announcements on Monday, June 8? I'd bet both Sprint and Palm are dying to know the answer to that question themselves.
According to Sprint, the Palm Pre will be available nationwide in Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, select Wal-Mart stores and online at Sprint.com. A new, two-year service agreement on an Everything Data plan or Business Essentials with Messaging and Data plan is mandatory.
If you are interested in the Touchstone wireless charger, that'll cost you an extra $70. The device lets you place the Pre on the charger without attaching any wires to the Pre itself. It uses inductive charging technology to transfer a charge to the battery.
The biggest draw for the Pre will be, of course, webOS, the brand-new mobile operating system from Palm. From the press release, "The Pre's dynamic 'activity cards' approach to handling and navigating multiple applications is a great advance, but the core breakthrough is the integration of information across multiple applications on and off the phone," said Andy Castonguay, director of Mobile & Access Devices Research, Yankee Group. "With social networking and messaging being so important to consumers, the device's new 'Palm Synergy' functionality -- which gives Pre the ability to automatically pull friends' contact details, messaging addresses and personal calendars from different applications online and on the phone -- will greatly simplify people's ability to communicate with their friends and colleagues the way they want."
Palm webOS lets you keep multiple activities open and move easily between them like flipping through a deck of cards. You can move back and forth between text messaging and e-mail, or search the web while you listen to music. You can rearrange items simply by dragging them, and when you are done with something, just throw it away by flicking it off the top of the screen.
It would have been better for both Palm and Sprint to get the Pre out in the market sooner. Launching it so close to the WWDC keynote is a mistake, in my opinion. Granted, they can't launch the device before it is ready, but even one week sooner would have helped them out a great deal.

I felt off stability, barely woozy, and simply "off" typically. Studying was giving me a headache, and I didn't even really feel like watching television.
I now have sufficient self-awareness to know that one thing is amiss so I took a selfie. Certain sufficient, my eyes are fucked up. I bear in mind early on one in all my Medical doctors telling me that he might understand how I used to be feeling simply by my eyes. Then after MONTHS of explaining it to neurologists and others, I lastly went to a Purposeful Neurologist who knew one thing wasn't proper.
I see this actual look in lots of different survivors eyes. I can't fairly clarify it, however I do know it after I see it.
I've been lucky that I'm starting to really feel higher bodily, and that my eye episodes are much less frequent. However when it flares again up, it's SO exhausting. I've but to determine what causes the flare-ups, however I think they're associated to my higher neck/decrease cranium. I've most likely infected one thing with doing plank pose just lately. However I gained't let it cease me. So what if I would like an additional nap and to stroll extra fastidiously?! I can lastly do bodily exercise once more and nothing is getting in my approach!

Almaviva is the name of the winery and the exceptional wine produced by the joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Viña Concha y Toro in Alto Maipo, Chile.
The name Almaviva, though it has an Hispanic sonority, belongs to classical French literature: Count Almaviva is the hero of The Marriage of Figaro, the famous play by Beaumarchais (1732-1799), later turned into an opera by the genius of Mozart.
The label, meanwhile, pays homage to Chile's ancestral history, with three reproductions of a stylized design, which symbolizes the vision of the earth and the cosmos in the Mapuche civilization. The design appears on the kultrun, a ritual drum used by the Mapuche.
The label bears the name Almaviva in Beaumarchais' own handwriting. Two great traditions thus join hands to offer the whole world a promise of pleasure and excellence.
The Château concept was introduced in the XIX century in France as a way to honor creative mastery of winegrowers from Bordeaux.
Almaviva was the first wine in Chile created under this French Grand Cru Château concept, taking into account exceptional terroir, one unique bodega and one technical team – the three of which are dedicated exclusively to the production of one wine of unparalleled quality and excellence.
