Q: figures and blocks in the same slide I would like to place in a slide a block of words and at right of it a figure so that in the slide the figure will be on the left and the block explaining it at right. I'm using Beamer.
I tried the example posted in Beamer text and image on the same slide but it doesn't work.
How can this be done?

A: I built an example with a mindmap as figure and three blocks as explanation text (just to use both block, alertblock and exampleblock).
The code used to create the mindmap is taken from How to shade mindmap concepts?, so maybe you are not interested in, but I think this could be useful to show you also how to present figures dynamically, not only blocks.
Here is the code (commented such that you can skip the part useful for the mindmap):

This ... consist of... because....\\

\end{alertblock}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The result is:

To be coherent with the image, blocks related to a given concept are displayed when the concept is shown; in the picture, to decide when a new concept should be presented, it is used visible on=<value>. The same value, therefore, is applied to the block: \begin{block}<value>.... If the value does not comprise a -, that block will presented just in the moments given in value. This idea is taken from Mindmap tikzpicture in beamer (reveal step by step).
Let's change a bit the previous example to show this fact (the change is just for the block part, the rest of the code is still the same):
% Blocks
\begin{column}{0.49\textwidth}
\begin{block}<1->{Root concept explanation}
This ... consist of... because....\\
and is peculiar of...
\end{block}
\begin{exampleblock}<2,3->{Child concept}
This ... consist of... because....\\
and is peculiar of...
\end{exampleblock}
\begin{alertblock}<4,5->{Another child concept}
This ... consist of... because....\\
and is peculiar of...
\end{alertblock}
\end{column}

The result now is:

The important thing to notice is the - in all overlay specifications.

Since in the comments has been mentioned the dynblocks package, I provide a solution that makes use of it. Note: to compile the version 0.2a is required.

If there is something I love almost as much as bread it is a perfect dip to go with it. Also, a soup but I have posted quite a few soups on this blog and so now we shall concentrate on dips. The theme for this week is 'Dips for Snacks' and as usual I slightly modified it to mean 'Dips for Breads' because breads are snacks too. Right? Today's dip is one of my favorites – the classic Hummus. I already have a hummus recipe on this blog and so I modified this one with a favorite ingredient – Olives. It was delicious if I may say so myself.
This olive hummus is a quick dip to make if you have cooked or canned chickpeas. The addition of olives gives it a lovely flavour and also a nice texture. The best part is that this olive hummus does not use any tahini. If you stay in places where tahini is not readily available, like I do, then this is such a blessing. I can eliminate the step of making tahini and get this olive hummus done in 5 minutes. Also, it is such a versatile dip that you can use it with raw veggies, chips, snacks and of course, bread. It is protein rich and guilt free which pretty much seals the deal.
This is my post for the Blogging Marathon under the theme, 'Dips for Snacks'.
Adding olives in Hummus is definitely an incredible twist to the usual hummus.. Interesting hummus Sowmya.
Addition of olives makes the recipe quite interesting. And without tahini, this one's flavour also differs from the usual hummus. Such a delicious dip for breads..
I have never made a dip, not even one. But this is so tempting. I will definitely try this when I make flat breads.
Oh my, such creamy and delicious looking hummus. LOVE the addition of olives in the hummus – must have added so much flavor to the dip.
I have seen lots of flavored hummus and made quite a few myself but this is one unique one I am yet to see – what a unique idea!
Wow looks very classic out of a magazine Sowmya, so nicely done!
That olive flavor in the hummus is so brilliant. I can't wait to give this a try soon.


Well...it would have been rude not to have paid this big old bird a visit whilst holidaying in Cornwall with the family - especially as it's potentially a 1st for Britain.
A wonderful week of sun, sea and surf in Cornwall, along with far too many pasties and I was playing it super cool, leaving it until our last day before making the short 45 minute drive from our base near Padstow to Point Quay on Restronguet Creek to have a look at the now long staying (knocking around Cornwall since 7th May) adult Dalmatian Pelican - it was just a shame the bird was showing so distantly.
The bird has been favouring an exposed spit visible at low tide in the middle of the creek, so when I arrived there it was asleep with head in wing, not looking that dissimilar to a Mute Swan - as I only had my bins I was grateful to another birder who let me view the bird through his scope. Thankfully the bird did eventually move, standing up and going for a bit of a walk along the spit, finishing with a bit of a preen before slumping down again for another snooze.
It would've been great to have witnessed the bird in flight and seeing that big 3 metre wingspan in action but alas it wasn't to be, and soon my all too brief visit to Point Quay was over, as I had some more waves to catch and a meeting with another pasty - surfs up!

McAlester, OK Things to Do
McAlester, OK Has Fun in Store For Families
By (not verified) on June 23, 2014 16:00 PM
Michael D. Tedesco
McAlester moms and dads rarely want for activities to keep their kids busy and active. The area has plenty of places for play year round, including 14 parks, several public and privately owned recreation centers, a thriving Little League organization, proximity to lakes and lots of fun family events.
Parks, Rec Centers and More
McAlester's system of 14 public parks and recreation centers includes the 10.2-acre Chadick Park in the heart of the city, which recently received new playground equipment. The park also draws families for free movies in the park when the weather allows. The gatherings have been a big hit since the city purchased an inflatable screen and projection equipment and began hosting the events in 2013.
"We throw out our blankets, pillows and enjoy snacks and a movie under the stars. It's really a lot of fun," says Valerie Jackson, who blogs about her family's life here on her website, www.mcalestermom.com. "There are so many families there, and it's a really great atmosphere. Plus, it's free, so it doesn't break the bank to take the kids to a movie."
Meanwhile, the local Boys & Girls Club also makes its home at Chadick Park and has been in operation since 1960. The club welcomes students from first grade through high school and features a popular after-school program that includes soccer, football, basketball, baseball and softball. Students get help with their school work, too.
Pools, Lakes & Other Outdoor Activities
For families who love the water, the McAlester area offers three public pools and five wading pools, plus proximity to lake activities at McAlester Lake and Lake Eufaula.
"Nothing beats the summer heat like taking the kids over to the splash pad over at Chadick Park," Jackson says. "The kids love playing in the water, and it can be a quick trip to cool off if you're short on time. We follow it up with hitting up one of the many shaved ice stands around town."
Residents also enjoy the picnic tables, camping areas and boat ramp access at McAlester Lake, located just 5 miles from town. A bit further away, but still within easy reach, Lake Eufaula offers 600 miles of shoreline. Kayak and canoe rentals make it easy to enjoy a relaxing outing on the water. Jackson says her family often makes the short drive to Jellystone Park at the lake.
"It's fun for the kids because they can meet Yogi Bear, and they sometimes have themed weekends," Jackson says. "We also enjoy taking the kids up to Robber's Cave (State Park) to go hiking, use the paddle boats or just have a picnic. It's beautiful up there and makes for great family photo ops."
First-Rate Little League
It might be young, but the Pittsburgh County Little League program is going strong.
"This is only our fifth year, and we've got around 500 kids from ages 3 to 14 participating," says Joshua Hass, Treasurer of the Pittsburg County Little League. "We're the largest organized baseball league in southeastern Oklahoma."
Teams in the countywide program practice, play – and often win – from March through June, and again from September through November. In the past five years, various Pittsburg County Little League teams have triumphed in six state championships.
"Every year we've been in existence, we've won a state championship in one division or another," Hass says. "Baseball is a big deal here, and we've made an impression on the community."
Entertainment Destinations
McAlester also has a couple of elaborate venues designed specifically for fun, making them entertainment destinations for special outings and favorite spots for birthday parties.
The retro-themed Great Balls of Fire has a vintage appeal in decor but with state-of-the-art entertainment equipment, including a climbing wall, bowling, arcade games, bumper cars and indoor mini-golf. Speedline Entertainment Family Fun Park offers outdoor mini-golf, which includes a rock waterfall feature, as well as several batting cages.

Presentation The National Council Files Release informations Reactions Links Contact
RELEASE DATED DEC. 17, 2004
Manifesto to the attention of Armenians from Western Armenia
Presentation of the manifesto
The Armenian National Council puts at the disposal of the Armenians everywhere in the world, a manifesto, in order to request every person, expatriated and descendant of Genocide survivors, to claim from the High Commission for Human Rights of the United Nations our most elementary and fundamental rights to existence and self-determination.
Our right to self-determination is a right which, on a legal basis, necessarily needs a large-scale democratic support of Armenians from Western Armenia, of Armenians everywhere in the world.
This is why each filled out and signed form is of the utmost importance.
No other group of persons, no other structure, apart from the Armenians, descendants of Genocide survivors, may claim this right to self-determination, enabling to give to Armenians from Western Armenia a democratic structure, in order to assume the future of our exiled people.
It is time, there are no two ways about it, let's show our solidarity with each other and build together a collective future.
However, non-Armenians may be willing to sign this manifesto in order to express their support to our claims.
Do not hesitate to make them fill out and sign, even if they obviously cannot indicate their region of origin in Western Armenia.
Let's prove together that Armenians from Western Armenia, survivors of the Genocide, are still standing to fight for their rights to existence and self-determination.

The Biology Behind
E1A as a Tumor Suppressor Gene
Commentary re S. Madhusudan et al. A Multicenter Phase I Gene Therapy Clinical Trial Involving Intraperitoneal Administration of E1A-Lipid Complex in Patients with Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Overexpressing HER-2/neu Oncogene. Clin Cancer Res 2004;10:2905–2907.
Steven M. Frisch
DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-04-0644 Published May 2004
Adenovirus E1a protein presents an interesting paradox. When expressed in primary rodent cells, E1a facilitates oncogenic transformation by activated ras or an activator of c-src signaling, polyoma middle T protein (1) . However, adenovirus E1a is nononcogenic in human cells: adenovirus sequences have not been found in human tumors, despite widespread infection of the human population, and intensive efforts to transform human cells with E1a-oncogene mixtures have failed (2 , 3) . In some instances, small and infrequent tumors arose after a long latency period, but E1a retention was not verified in these tumors, suggesting that they arose from the loss of the E1a transgene (4) .
In 1991, two groups published tumor-suppressive effects of E1a in human tumor cells. Our group reported that E1a suppressed tumorigenicity and anchorage-independent growth in three diverse human tumor cell types, carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, and melanoma (5) . This was (pleasantly) surprising because the diversity of genetic alterations in these three tumor cell types suggested that E1a might override many different genetic abnormalities to perhaps universally suppress (human) transformation.
The other report (6) , which was from the Hung laboratory, indicated that E1a suppressed tumor growth by repressing HER2/c-erbB2/c-neu expression.
To date, parallel lines of investigation have been pursued by these and other groups. Subsequent reports from the Hung laboratory indicated that the E1a effect was specific to HER2/c-erbB2/c-neu-overexpressing tumor cells (7) , although reverse transformation of tumor cells independently of this oncogene was later confirmed in several reports (8, 9, 10) .
HER2/neu is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family that heterodimerizes with other epidermal growth factor receptor proteins on ligand stimulation. It has tyrosine kinase activity that autophosphorylates and phosphorylates its dimerization partners, simultaneously activating several signal transduction pathways, leading to Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation that induce mitogenesis, cell survival, and, by mechanisms that are not well-defined, genomic instability (11 , 12) . It is the target of the breast cancer-suppressing monoclonal antibody Herceptin. The mechanism of repression of HER2/neu by E1a is straightforward because the Her2/neu promoter has several positive elements that require the p300/CREB-binding protein (CBP) coactivator proteins, which are inhibited by direct E1a interaction (13) .
Some of the HER2/neu-independent tumor-suppressive effects of E1a are due to the E1a-p300 interaction; others may involve the interaction of E1a with the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), whereas yet others depend on the interaction of E1a with a transcriptional corepressor known as COOH-terminal binding protein (CtBP). These proteins and the effects of E1a on their functions are summarized as follows.
p300/CBP
These proteins are required cofactors for a large variety of tissue-specific transcription factors (reviewed in Ref. 14 ). E1a binds to a key domain of these related proteins (the transcriptional adaptor motif region), functionally inactivating the protein. The fact that cells are able to metabolize and proliferate well in the absence of functional p300 is consistent with the independence of the "housekeeping gene" promoters from this coactivator. P300 is also required for the induction of important tumor angiogenic genes such as vascular endothelial growth factor by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (15) . Consistent with this, E1a has been reported to inhibit tumor angiogenesis, a primary effect of its NH2-terminal (p300-interacting) domain (16) .
E1a causes p53 protein to accumulate (17) , and p53 can induce either growth arrest or apoptosis, depending on the cellular context. One factor determining which will occur is the expression of p21Cip/Waf (18) : E1a inhibits the transactivation of this gene by p53, which tends to favor apoptosis versus growth arrest. This inhibition is caused by the interaction of E1a with the p300, which is required for transactivation by p53 (19) . Also, transactivation by p53 requires its acetylation of p53 by p300 and/or p300/CREB-binding protein-related enzymes, enhancing the interaction of p53 with the p21 promoter, which is inhibited by E1a (20 , 21) . It should be remembered that E1a displays impressive tumor suppression activity in p53-null or p53-mutant tumor cell lines (8) .
Rb and Related Proteins
The E1a-Rb interaction is oncogenic in rodent cells but has been reported to contribute to E1a tumor suppression in human cells (16) , although this contribution has not been evident in other cell systems.1 One possible mechanism for this is the activation of the transcription factor E2F, which is proapoptotic in certain contexts, by E1a-mediated release from sequestration on Rb. E2F in turn activates the p19Arf gene (22) , which, through relocalization of the p53-regulatory-protein mdm2, results in p53 accumulation and increased apoptotic potential. Although the tumor-suppressive effect of the E1a-Rb interaction is poorly documented and somewhat counterintuitive, it should be remembered that E2F, which is liberated from a repressive complex by E1a, behaves mostly as a tumor suppressor gene in knockout mouse models (23) . Direct transactivation of various caspase genes by E2F has been proposed as a possible mechanism of the proapoptotic behavior of E2F (24) .
CtBP
The expression of E1a in diverse human tumor cell lines that did not overexpress HER2/neu consistently caused tumor suppression that correlated with two phenotypic effects. First, E1a up-regulated the expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule genes (E-cadherin, tight junction proteins, and desmosomal proteins) as well as epithelial cytokeratin genes (25) . In fact, E1a essentially reversed the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition that characterizes tumor cells, explaining at least phenomenologically the basis for the nonselectivity of E1a as a tumor suppressor gene (26) . Second, E1a dramatically sensitized tumor cells to apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic DNA-damaging agents, tumor necrosis factor, and cell matrix detachment (8 , 27, 28, 29) . Other groups showed that E1a sensitized tumor cells to the apoptotic actions of natural killer cells, which may play an additional role in tumor suppression in vivo (30) . Whereas multiple mechanisms are quite possibly involved, we found that apoptosis sensitization in the absence of p53 function was attributed mainly to the interaction of E1a with CtBP (27) .
CtBP is a corepressor protein, i.e., it can be recruited to promoters by repressor proteins that contain the minimal CtBP-interaction motif (PXDLS) plus critical flanking sequences, where it causes chromatin remodeling that silences transcription (reviewed in Ref. 31 ). E1a disrupts the interaction of CtBP with repressors, one potential way for E1a to up-regulate cellular genes. The aforementioned effects of E1a on human tumor cells suggested that perhaps CtBP selectively targeted certain epithelial and proapoptotic genes for repression. By characterizing cells from CtBP knockout mice, we confirmed that CtBP down-regulates a battery of epithelial cell adhesion genes as well as certain proapoptotic genes, including PERP, Bax, Noxa, three forkhead family transcription factors, and three insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (32) . In fact, cells from the CtBP knockout mice were hypersensitive to a wide variety of apoptotic stimuli, emulating the effect of E1a.
Bystander Effects
The efficacy of cancer gene therapy at its current efficiency level is critically dependent on the induction of a bystander effect. Three effects of E1a suggest that it may induce a bystander effect, although these have yet to be investigated rigorously.
(a) The simple failure of E1a-expressing cells to support angiogenesis would not be expected to generate a bystander effect in vivo because the majority of cells in a tumor that fail to express E1a should be able to provide enough vascular endothelial growth factor to drive angiogenesis. It is conceivable that E1a could potentially induce the expression of angiogenesis-inhibitory proteins (e.g., thrombospondin) that might be predicted to generate a bystander effect; the possible existence of such an activity has been suggested (33) , but the factor itself has not yet been identified, nor is there convincing evidence as yet that E1a-expressing cells inhibit angiogenesis.
(b) The conferral of tumor necrosis factor (34) and natural killer cell (30) sensitivity on tumor cells could evoke a sufficiently non-cell-specific effect so as to eradicate most or all of the tumor.
(c) The mesenchymal-to-epithelial conversion effect might induce the formation of gap junctions. This could increase the efficacy of cell-to-cell communication of small molecules such as DNA-damaging drugs that are used in conjunction with E1a.
Several Phase I and Phase II clinical trials have now been completed using E1a in a gene therapy format in which it is delivered by liposome vectors (35, 36, 37, 38) . The article by Madhusudan et al. (39) in this issue of Clinical Cancer Research reports a new clinical trial in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, showing evidence of safety and gene transfer, but no evidence of efficacy. Based on the considerations discussed above, several improvements that might render E1a a useful gene for cancer therapy are suggested: (a) characterize and optimize the use of the bystander effect; (b) conduct trials on earlier-stage patients; (c) combine E1a gene therapy with conventional chemotherapy; and (d) use cell-based or protein-based assays to identify compounds that mimic the effect of E1a and then develop drugs that might circumvent the problem inherent in gene delivery to the target sites.

I really hate laws that sensor written documents. This is case is shere stupidity. An 18 yr-old kid was arrested for "making terrorist threats".... yeah right.
Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident was a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into the police was a short story he wrote for English class. "My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies." Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.
Ok, seriously the zombie thing was alittle week, but freaking-A. It's a felony to write a story about school and terrorism?! That's bloody rediculous. AND HIS GRANDPARENTS TURNED HIM IN? That's just cold.

Sectional Qualifying Sites Announced for 117th U.S. Open March 6, 2017 | Far Hills, N.J.
Twelve sites will host 36-hole sectional qualifying for the 117th U.S. Open, the final step in the road to Erin Hills. (USGA/John Mummert)
Sectional qualifying over 36 holes will be conducted at 12 sites – 10 in the United States and two overseas – for the 117 th U.S. Open Championship at Erin Hills in Erin, Wis. The U.S. Open will be contested June 15-18. Erin Hills is hosting its first U.S. Open and third USGA championship, following the 2008 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links and 2011 U.S. Amateur.
Sectional qualifying begins May 22 in Japan and continues May 29 in England. The 10 U.S. sites will conduct sectional qualifying on June 5. This is the 13th consecutive year Japan and England will host sectional qualifying. The first year in 2005, Michael Campbell came out of the England site to win the championship at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club.
"We appreciate the support and commitment provided by the state and regional associations and international community during a two-tiered qualifying process that dates to 1959," said Stuart Francis, USGA Championship Committee chairman. "The U.S. Open has broad appeal, as evidenced by the more than 9,800 entries we have received in each of the last four years and the fact that any amateur golfer can enter, provided they meet the Handicap Index® requirement. The opportunity to take sectional qualifying to all parts of the United States and international sites helps to ensure that we have the strongest field possible."
The Columbus, Ohio; Memphis, Tenn.; Summit, N.J.; and Newport Beach, Calif., sectional sites will use two courses. In Columbus, Brookside Golf and Country Club and Lakes Golf and Country Club will combine to host sectional qualifying for the 13th time since 1995. Eight players from the Columbus sectional made the 36-hole cut in last year's U.S. Open at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. Daniel Summerhays, who tied for eighth behind champion Dustin Johnson, was among the group of qualifiers.
Germantown Country Club and Ridgeway Country Club are the Memphis sectional courses for the third consecutive year and fifth time since 2009. Andrew Landry advanced through this site last year. He was the U.S. Open first-round leader with a 4-under 66 – the lowest opening-round score in any of the nine U.S. Opens at Oakmont – and went on to tie for 15th. Canoe Brook Country Club's North and South Courses will serve as a sectional site for the 15th time since 1980. Big Canyon Country Club and Newport Beach Country Club are paired together in Southern California for the third time.
Woodmont Country Club, in Rockville, Md., will host U.S. Open sectional qualifying for the 30th time in the last 31 years. The club features two 18-hole layouts, but only the North Course will be used for the fourth consecutive year. Chase Parker, one of five players last year who advanced through both local and sectional play and made the 36-hole cut, qualified at Woodmont.

Jupiter Hills Club's Hill Course, in Tequesta, Fla., will host U.S. Open sectional qualifying for the first time since 2008. The club hosted the 1987 U.S. Amateur Championship and will serve as the host site for the 2018 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. Lakewood Country Club, in Dallas, Texas, is a site for the second time. Tacoma Country & Golf Club, in Lakewood, Wash., will host a sectional qualifier for the first time since 1989. The club has hosted four USGA championships.
Springfield Country Club in Ohio will host sectional qualifying for the eighth consecutive year and ninth time in 10 years. Hawks Ridge, in Ball Ground, Ga., will be a sectional site for the sixth time since 2007.
Walton Heath Golf Club in England and Ono Golf Club in Japan are the international sectional qualifying sites. Five players made the 36-hole cut in the 2016 U.S. Open after advancing from Walton Heath, which is hosting for the 13th consecutive year.

I celomati sono gli animali provvisti di celoma, ossia una cavità del corpo piena di liquido delimitata dal mesoderma.

Celoma
Il celoma differisce dallo pseudoceloma perché, durante lo sviluppo embrionale, esso si origina da una escavazione nel mesoderma, il foglietto embrionale che va ad occupare interamente la cavità blastocelica precedentemente formatasi. Il celoma è ripieno di un liquido (liquido celomatico) che può svolgere funzioni di sostegno idrostatico, trasporto (nel caso in cui manchi un sistema circolatorio chiuso) o raccolta dei gameti. La cavità celomatica è tappezzata dal peritoneo, un tessuto di origine mesodermica che circonda e sostiene i vari organi interni, in modo che non siano a contatto diretto col liquido celomatico. Con l'evoluzione, il celoma può ridursi notevolmente: ad esempio, nell'uomo ne rimangono solo il cavo pericardico, il cavo pleurico e quello peritoneale.

Il celoma può formarsi in due maniere diverse: per schizocelia o per enterocelia.
 Negli schizocelomati, il celoma si forma per scissione interna del mesoderma. La schizocelia è caratteristica dei protostomi.
 Negli enterocelomati, il celoma si origina da due tasche dell'archenteron (il canale alimentare primitivo) che, in seguito, migrano nel mesoderma a costituire la cavità. L'enterocelia è caratteristica dei deuterostomi.

"STAY OR BE DISPLAYED AT THE NEXT CAMP BETTER PLACE INDIAN JOE'S HUNTING BLOOD SPORTS GAMES"
Welcome to Camp this Summer, where you will encounter the unwilling Runaway Teens; that had to endure at Indian Joe's Hunts Men Games.
The sign read.... "Stay or be displayed at the next Indian Joe's Hunting Reservation Game".
Indian Joe Navajo Reservation which ran alongside Camp Better Place Station was a well-known spot for young runaways to stay. Located in the beautiful Colorado Mountains.
It's time to come and join us in this HORROR where the unwilling runaways would learn the hard way not to say "No", to any of Indian Joe's Huntsmen Bloodsport Games. It would not be wise to double cross Indian Joe decision on who would participate in the Hunts Men Sports Games.
What Indian Joe's Hunting Grounds had in store for those runaways they would never imagine. It would make you think twice before staying here and becoming the next Indian Joe's Reservation Huntsmen Trophy victim.
Have you ever really wondered what happens at a private camping grounds?
What kind of Security could you actually rely on?
What happens if you find out that the "Sacred Burial Grounds at Indian Joe's Reservation" was filled with dead young runaways who were unwilling participants at these Drug Haven Oasis.
A well-known camping ground that ran adjacent to Indian Joe's Navajo Reservation was known as "Camp Better Place Station". A Runaway Drug Haven Oasis; full of RV Trailer which was privately owned and given free to any teenager that was willing to stay and work for it.
It had become a place where if you decided to stay you could never leave. If you tried to leave without permission you would be targeted to become the next victim at Indian Joe's Hunts Men Sports Games. If you decide to join in on the fun of some of the best "Hunting Games", you could be really winning the "Blood Sports Medal"; of your own best friends murdered blood.
It's time to take your seat and watch the most brutal and tragic history of these two rival camping grounds. It's time to witness first hand who would be the next disloyal teen runaway and unwilling participant. It's time to follow the bloody trail of the next victim's blood, which will surely lead you to his murderer and the "Gates Keeper of the Sacred Burial Grounds".
A young Mexican girl by the name of India del Cielo begins to write everything she see's in her "Diary". Making her diary the first lead as to what is happening at these two camping grounds.
An old retired Detective by the name of Joseph Meyers befriends the frightened girl and begins his own "Criminal Investigation", as to what is really going on.
The Diary begins to reveal what is going on with the "Free RV Trailer Homes", which were privately owned by a powerful and wealthy unknown partner. These camping grounds had it in for one another for Navajo Nation was dead against a White Men running a Camping Facility right near there Indian Reservation.
India Del Cielo who became a Camping Grounds Counselor to this Teen Runaways would soon find out she too would be caught up in what had become an illegal Drug-Smuggling Ring known as "The Golden White Powder Connection".
Which was run out of Camp Better Place Station? or could it be Indian Joe's Navajo Reservation?
India finds out that Camp Better Place Station is more than just a Drug Haven and Oasis for misfortune runaways. She begins to connect as to why this was all happening and begins to suspect of the Campground's Owners Ms. Annie Meyers and Mr. Joseph Santiago.
The mystery to unravel would be when India's friends begin to show up dead one by one. A picture and Bloody Sports Trophy would be placed alongside the of the dead teen body. She began to write down everything she saw.
India's Diary would soon be the lead, in a World of Privately Owned Campers. A Criminal Investigation would have everyone talking about the two camping grounds.
It had become evident that once you arrive you could never leave.
If you try to make a run for it you surely wouldn't make it past those heavily armed gates at the entrance. In order to leave you would first have to go thru Indian Joe's Ritual according to his version of Indian law. His two twin sons Nayati Cain and Niyol Cain would not stand the White Man taking over their lands. It was up to them if you would make it out alive or not.
Happy Camping everyone this upcoming Camping season and follow the blood to your next murdered trailer victim. As long as you either Win your Blood Sports Medal or Display it.


So this week was the last week before milestone three and I had as goal to make the Starcraft Brood War AI which I was able to do. It will scout where the enemy base is and when it have done that it will rush the enemy with zerglings and send wave after wave. However this ai is not optimal and will not defeat the standard ai but it might be able to defeat a player if they do not get defence up fast enough. I learned a lot by just looking around at what you can do and looked at some other peoples AIs to Starcraft Brood War to get some help on how somethings are done. After milestone three is done it is only a week left until the gradshow where we will show our project and for that I will get add the Warcraft 3 ai into a map that can be loaded and played against and for the Starcraft ai I will try to make it able to play against instead of it taking control of the players units.


Full Description: Cactus species Echinocereus pensilis is a cylindrical in form cactus that grows best as a hanging basket type plant but can be staked upright also. Stems average 1-1/4" to almost 2" on older growth and can grow several feet long. Individual stems have an average of 8 to 10 low, rounded and tuberculate ribs with aerioles 3/8" to 3/4" apart, spines at first appear yellow then turn reddish as they age with 1 central 3/8" to 3/4" long and 6 to 10 radial spines, older growth more. Pretty orange to reddish flowers tubular flower appear in spring to summer on tips of stems and average 2 to 2-3/4" long by 1-1/2" to 2" in diameter. An unusual hanging basket or sprawling plant in the drought tolerant garden.
Notes : Echinocereus pensilis is more commonly known and often sold under its older name; Morangaya pensilis, named in honor of two well known American collectors, Ed Gay and Reid Moran.
Echinocereus pensilis is fairly rare in cultivation, but not a difficult species to grow, flowers easily too. Echinocereus pensilis likes full sun, regular water from March to October. Can be somewhat rot prone in winter, so does needs good drainage, likes to be kept in a cool place during winter rest. Echinocereus pensilis can briefly tolerate temp. as low as 32 f but not for prolonged periods if keep very dry, but without some cooler winter evenings in the 30-40s Echinocereus pensilis normally will not set many flower buds. Cascading, clustering in form, a great choice for a hanging display type plant. Stems may possibly become purple and limp in winter, but growth and color returns as soon as temps warm in early spring.
Offered as : A cutting 8"+ long to all mail order locations, larger rooted specimen plants are available to U.S. locations only. To order larger rooted plants contact our walk in nursery website linked below.
Established 3 to 5 gallon rooted specimen multi-plant(s) may also be available for shipping within the U.S. only or for pick-up as most are very large, so sorry but no international shipping of large plants.

Q: How to simplify a set identity For all sets $A$, $B$ and $C$, $((A \cap (B \cup C)) \cap (A-B)) \cap (B\cup C^c) $
When simplifying, I get
$((A \cap(B \cup C)) \cap (A \cap B^c)) \cap (B \cup C^c)$
Don't really know what else I can do.

A: First you use that $\cap$ is commutative. Then, notice that $(B \cup C) \cap (B \cup C^c) = B$. You get $(A \cap B \cap B^c) = \emptyset$.

The super-Earth next door
Stop what you're doing and go watch "Borgen"
The great Danish political drama is finally available legally in America. So what are you waiting for?
May 24, 2013 4:00AM (UTC)
Summer unofficially begins this weekend and with it comes television's silly season. Yes, the networks are making unprecedented efforts to air original series year round, "Mad Men" and "Game of Thrones" will be with us through June, "Breaking Bad" will be back in August, and there's seven and half hours of "Arrested Development" to demolish, but generally speaking, in the summer TV gets as lazy as everything else. It's the perfect time to discover shows that are, if not new, new to you, and I have a rapturous recommendation. Two weeks ago, I finally started watching "Borgen," the much-praised Danish series about a female prime minister that is a hit in England but has been only sporadically legally available in the United States. ("Borgen" pushed the New York Times as close as it's ever come to advocating piracy; a rave review for the show noted that it was almost impossible to find.) But the first two seasons of "Borgen" started airing last Friday on KCET, one of California's public television stations, and are also available on the channel's website, which means you can now watch "Borgen" without breaking the law, something I encourage you to do with all possible haste.
"Borgen" stars the amazing Sidse Babett Knudsen as Birgitte Nyborg, who begins the series as the head of the lefty Moderate party, a mother of two, and one half of the sexiest, most functional TV marriages this side of Eric and Tami Taylor. (This is not an exaggeration. If I had led with that, you'd probably already be watching.) In the Danish parliamentary system, eight political parties align in various ways to form coalition governments. In the first episode of the series, through various political missteps, the largest liberal and conservative parties rough each other up, giving Nyborg's Moderates a huge boost and herself the unexpected opportunity to head up a liberal coalition as prime minister.
Denmark's two other much admired series, "Forbrydelsen" and "Bron/Broen," have both been made into American shows: AMC's much harangued cop show "The Killing" and FX's forthcoming "The Bridge," about a body found not on the Danish-Swedish border, but the Mexican-American one. Though "Borgen" has been in development at HBO, it feels fundamentally untransferable because of the differences between American and Danish politics, differences that are essential to "Borgen's" excellence. "Borgen" is about how political power changes a woman who is recognizably normal, if, thanks to Knudsen, abnormally charismatic. Normal is something that American politicians vying for the highest office in the land have long since ceased to be, however much they jockey to appear it.
In America, to make a fiction about a relatively regular person becoming head of state, he has to be, as in the Kevin Kline film "Dave," the doppelganger of a secretly comatose president. In Aaron Sorkin's "The American President," Michael Douglas' Andrew Shepherd has to break numerous security protocols to go buy flowers for his girlfriend. In America, normality, privacy and work-life balance are not something that politicians expect to have or that we expect politicians to have. Up until the moment she becomes prime minister, however, there are things that Birgitte Nyborg happily enjoys. She bikes to work. She has no security detail. Before the election she and her family live in a well-lit, nicely appointed but modest home. After the election they still live there.
Though "Borgen" was influenced by "The West Wing" (Nyborg, like Josiah Bartlet, has a knack for giving the honest speech), it makes "The West Wing" look sentimental, and not because "Borgen" has some ultra-dark view of politics. (In a great New Yorker piece about DR, the broadcaster who makes all these Danish masterpieces, Lauren Collins quoted DR as saying it wanted its series to have messages. "Borgen's" is, "Can you be in power and remain yourself?" and for the answer, they "want to say yes.") Rather, compared to American political dramas — "West Wing," "Scandal," "Homeland," "House of Cards" — "Borgen" feels grounded. It is not puffed up with an American sense of grandiosity and world historical import. Each episode contains intricate twists and turns, but is focused on the human-size, psychological aspects of politics, of how Nyborg learns to be effective and at what cost.
The cost ends up being high. Nyborg is decent, well-meaning, sexy, funny, steely. (I dare you to watch her and not develop a crush.) She belongs on any political fantasy team alongside Shepherd, Bartlet and "Battlestar Galactica's" Laura Roslin. But over the course of "Borgen's" first two seasons — the third and final season has aired in Denmark, but won't air in America until October — Nyborg learns how to navigate and wield her power, an experience that is taxing, isolating and difficult. As time passes, she becomes savvier and more decisive, increasingly comfortable making decisions, an authoritarian knack she starts to take home with her. Knudsen has an infectious, crinkly-nosed smile, but Nyborg has less and less occasion to use it. As she becomes better at her job, her personal life falls apart. ("Borgen" does some heartbreaking things to her adorable marriage it's hard to imagine any American show daring.)
In a recent interview with New York magazine, "Breaking Bad's" creator Vince Gilligan was asked if there are any honest-to-god nice characters on TV that he finds interesting. Gilligan came back with SpongeBob SquarePants before saying, "I'm very glad people love Breaking Bad, but the harder character to write is the good character that's as interesting and as engaging as the bad guy." Nyborg is not quite honest-to-god nice — she loses her temper, she holds a grudge, she's not always emotionally generous — but she is a good person, and through all her difficulties she remains one, without ever being anything less than totally riveting.
In the context of other TV, a show about a good guy — in this case a good gal – is rare. Moreover it is adult. We have become accustomed to defining grown-up entertainment — the best that cable has to offer — as literally that which is not fit for children, because of its violence, its sex, its nudity, its morally reprehensible or ambiguous behavior. But "Borgen," which has almost no violence, some sex, and moral ambiguity an order of magnitude less than that of, say, "Breaking Bad" or "The Wire," is adult in another way: It expects its audience to have the brain power to pay attention to well-plotted stories that do not end in murder, corruption or other high-octane badness so often as reasonable compromise. "Borgen" is fun and funny; there's plenty of blackmail and high-stakes situations, whether on a military base in Afghanistan or in televised debates, but there are no assassination attempts or bombings, no hidden cases of MS, or savvy majority whips who murder congressmen and make it look like suicide.
Making decency interesting is hard, but "Borgen" makes it look easy. Nyborg, along with the show's two other main characters — her spin doctor (that's a Danish term too), Kaasper Juul (Pilou Asbæk), and the TV reporter Katrine Fonsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) — are all very good at their jobs, and, though Kaasper claims not to be, bound by decency. This competency and civility extends to the larger government. One of the thrills of watching "Borgen" as an American is to see a politics not entirely paralyzed and polarized. Because compromise and coalitions are essential to staying in power, the politicians talk to each, usually over a billionth cup of coffee. (Danes appear to be highly caffeinated.) What American, whatever his party, wouldn't sigh to see on "Borgen" a bill pass on a straight 81-80 parliamentary vote, no filibuster in sight?
As a liberal there is even more of a thrill to "Borgen." Danish politics — excluding the xenophobic nationalist Freedom party — are so far left of America that the politicians on "Borgen" get to say the darnedest things. In an early episode, Nyborg successfully mandates gender equality on corporate boards. (To be fair, Nyborg is sometimes centrist; she decides to keep Danish troops in Afghanistan as well.) And Nyborg herself— a fictional female P.M. who presaged the Danes' first real female P.M. — is, without any fuss, a feminist hero of the first order. Even in a country where 70 percent of women work, she ultimately gets caught up in a debate about whether working mothers can be good mothers, but at least Nyborg gets to respond to this charge by saying, "What did you think, that I was going to quit and become a housewife?" with absolutely no fear of offending every housewife and half the husbands in Denmark. Soon after this remark, just in case you weren't already with her, she crinkle-smiles. You already will be.

CASUAL CONVERSATIONS
Casual Conversations project explores the variety and intricacy of Jewish-American identity. We began our visual survey in the Russian-Jewish immigrant enclave of Brooklyn's Brighton Beach before expanding to the wider Jewish-American community in locations from New York to Philadelphia, Miami, Sonoma Valley, and St. Paul.
Early one morning, on a sunny July weekend in 2007, we asked beachgoers in Brooklyn's predominantly Jewish, Russian-speaking Brighton Beach to define their identities. Each participant was asked to pose for a photograph with any or all of three signs reading "Russian," "Jewish," and "American," or to come up with his or her own self-definition by creating a unique sign. By the end of that day, 52 people had posed, and 44 portraits were taken.
From 2012 to 2014, we expanded on the project with new subjects through interactive stations installed at various exhibitions and public events. Participants would write their own identifying phrases with markers on poster boards and pose in front of a backdrop depicting Brighton Beach, photographing themselves with a tripod-mounted camera.
1870 people participated in the project in six locations: the National Museum of American Jewish History, Philadelphia, PA 2012; the Laurie M. Tisch Gallery, the Jewish Community Center of Manhattan, New York, NY 2013-2014; Limmud NY, New York, NY 2014; Jewish Funders Network International Conference, Miami, FL 2014; Limmud Bay Area, Sonoma Valley, CA 2014; and the Jewish Community Center of the Greater St. Paul Area, Saint Paul, MN 2014.
In total, 1,922 people participated in creating a portrait of the community—in its many shades, shapes, and sizes—and a collaborative statement about collective identity. Participants ranged from a two-year-old girl who identified herself as a "future president" to vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman, who identified himself as "a proud and grateful Jewish American."
The project resulted in the book of photographs and essays From Selfie to Groupie by Alina and Jeff Bliumis; Joshua Ellison, editor; David Shneer, Anya Ulinich, Joshua Ellison, Jenya Gorbatsevich, Konrad Bercovici, authors; Hard cover, 9 x 11 in, 240 pages, 245 color and 14 black-and-white photographs; Release date: May 2015; ISBN 978-0-9797248-2-4 http://www.selfietogroupie.com

A great many men like yourself are stimulated by a woman's hairy armpit, her thick mass of pubic hair, her downy growth of hair on both arms and legs.
The last thing dating sites and matrimony sites want is a hoard of young men logging on to their sites only to log out disappointed.
In fact, some of the dating sites shut shop or pivoted their business model precisely for the same reason.
If you have a hairy woman fetish, chances are pretty good that you have considered hairy women personals dating at one time or other. The trouble is, most hairy ladies are either embarrassed to advertise this fact about themselves or unaware that it stirs such longing and adoration in men like yourself.
Unless and until gender disparity is tackled on a war footing, the dream of a prosperous and vibrant India will remain just that – a dream.

How To Be A Champion And Remain One?
Becoming a champion is a three stage process. It is not a step-by-step process; these three stages may be present in varying degrees in the journey.
Share via Facebook Share on twitter linkedin icon
When Roger Federer glide through tennis courts winning matches it is clear beyond any doubt that he is born to be a tennis player. Winning comes so easy to him.
The world woke up to A R Rahman after he won Oscars. But Indians have been enjoying the 'master of melodies' for more than a decade. One can listen to his melodies for ever. He is a gifted musician.
Champions exhibit their mastery and when they do, years of their deliberate practice is hidden from the crowd. We are carried into an illusion that 'gods have been good to them'.
'Gods are good to the champions', is an excuse we tell ourselves and others to hide our laziness. We too can be a champion so long as we are focused and practice deliberately.
Becoming a champion is a three stage process - consume, produce & engage. It is not a step-by-step process; these three stages may be present in varying degrees in the journey to be a champion.
In the consume stage, one learns the concepts, ideas, best practices and emerging techniques. They may be learned in a formal classroom, workshop, from a mentor or by reading books and listening to podcasts. This is a learning stage.
Consumption makes you a storehouse of ideas; but the producing value makes you an authority. There are just too many walking storehouse of ideas these days. They go from one coaching program to another or go on consuming a book library but never step out of their cocoon to act. But there is no better coach than the act of closing a sale, implementing a project or writing a book.
By consuming you learn and by producing value based results you gain confidence. But by engaging - in conversation, discussion and debate - one broadens the understanding. By engaging with peers, mentors and next generation thinkers you validate your ideas. You investigate if your success is an accident or coincidental or can it be repeated in other contexts and be a pattern.
Championship isn't a success in a single game. The stages of consume, produce and engage have to be repeated again and again. Then the world may talk about you and say 'gods have been good to him (or her)'.
