An adaptation of the scherzo of Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony for five or six octaves of handbells. Not for the faint of heart, this level 5 piece will challenge ringers' mallet skills, as well as their reading of accidentals. The middle meno mosso section is rung, providing a nice aural contrast to the opening section -- but watch out for the sixteenth notes. Use this lively piece on your spring concert to really show off your choir's skills.

Two narrowly escape death in SE Portland house fire
Learn what two mistakes almost cost the lives of two house-sitters, when an early morning blaze erupted …
Firefighters did their best to save this house on S.E. 76th Avenue, after a fire broke out in the bedroom. Dick Harris, PF&R photo
Just before 5:00 a.m., the stillness of the early morning hours on November 3 was shattered, as flames ripped through the modest rental house at 6750 SE 76th Ave.
According to Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) records, the fire called in at 4:50 a.m., and the first engine arrived at the blazing house four minutes later.
A person who said he was a next door neighbor told us that the occupant of the house was visiting friends in Eugene; his roommate and a visiting friend were "house-sitting" in the home, just north of their residence.
"Prior to the arrival of firefighters, a Portland Police sergeant, on patrol in the area, reported that the house was 'fully engulfed in flames'," reported PF&R spokesman Lt. Allen Oswalt. "When firefighters arrived, they confirmed the sergeant's report and began 'fire attack' and rescue operations."
With firefighters attacking the fire from all sides, and from the roof, one was injured. Dick Harris, PF&R photo
Oswalt said an occupant in the burning home told investigators, "I woke up, saw flames climbing up the drapes. I ran out and woke up my roommate on the way, and we both got out."
Of the twenty firefighters that responded in three engines and one truck, one firefighter was injured while operating a saw on the roof of the house, Oswalt said. "He was transported to Portland Adventist hospital with a cut to the leg."
As soon as the fire was extinguished, PF&R investigators were on scene and sifting through the rubble in an attempt to identify the cause of the fire. Investigators learned that one man was asleep in the bedroom, where the fire started; the other was sleeping on the living room couch.
Tries to rescue pets
Although the men first tried to quench the blaze, it spread quickly; they then focused their efforts on saving pets.
"One said he felt the flames licking at his leg and woke up the other one," the next door neighbor reported. "They tried to get out the pets. They got two dogs out, but couldn't rescue a Chihuahua hiding in the corner; and two cats died."
In the light of day, it appears that the house, and it contents, are a total loss.
"It appears that both the front and rear doors of the residence were left open during the evacuation," Oswalt noted, "and due to the air circulation, the fire burned fiercely and hot, spread rapidly throughout the interior of this structure."
The neighbor commented, "I've seen programs on fire safety they talk about how fast a fire can move. Until I saw this, I had no idea how fast it can go from a small fire to a really big one, like this was."
"Investigators determined that 'combustibles too close to a baseboard heater' caused this fire," Oswalt later told us. "And, there wasn't a working fire alarm in the structure. Because of these two factors, these two men were lucky to get out alive."
This fire could have cost the two house sitters their lives, officials say.
Lessons that can save your life
As cold weather moves into the Portland area, Oswald said one of the most frequent causes of residential fires is combustibles close to heaters – flammable things need to be at least three feet away from a heat source – and more is better.
"Use great caution with portable electric heaters," Oswalt added. "Make sure not to use extension cords with them, keep them on the floor where they can't get knocked over, and keep flammable items far way from them."
But, electric baseboard and wall heaters pose a hidden danger, Oswalt continued. "These heaters, controlled by a thermostat, turn on without warning when temperatures drop. Always keep combustibles at least three feet from these types of heaters."

Two executives in Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto empire plead guilty to fraud
The charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, included wire fraud against customers and lenders, as well as conspiracy to defraud the United States and violate campaign finance laws.
By David Yaffe-Bellany, Matthew Goldstein and Benjamin Weiser
Two former top executives of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto trading empire have pleaded guilty to federal criminal fraud charges and are cooperating in the prosecution of the disgraced crypto entrepreneur, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said Wednesday night.
The two are Caroline Ellison, 28, who was the CEO of the cryptocurrency hedge fund Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, 29, a founder of FTX, the crypto exchange. They were key lieutenants in Bankman-Fried's vast business empire, an international web of investments and enterprises that began with the founding of Alameda and FTX.
Two federal regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, also filed civil fraud charges against Ellison and Wang on Wednesday, building on fraud complaints they brought against Bankman-Fried last week.
The guilty pleas and cooperation agreements are a major advance in the federal prosecution of Bankman-Fried, who is in U.S. custody after agreeing to be extradited from the Bahamas to face trial in the Southern District of New York.
The combination of criminal and civil charges against the former top executives puts Bankman-Fried, 30, in an even more perilous legal position. The federal government has accused him of orchestrating a sweeping, yearslong fraud that culminated in the bankruptcy of FTX last month after the crypto equivalent of a bank run. Now two of his closest advisers are cooperating with the government as it pursues that case.
Wang and Ellison were not just close colleagues of Bankman-Fried. The three lived together in a luxurious penthouse in the Bahamas, where FTX was based, and Bankman-Fried and Ellison were at times romantically involved.
In the charges against Bankman-Fried, prosecutors and regulators have accused him of diverting billions in customer money for other uses, including buying real estate in the Bahamas, trading cryptocurrencies at Alameda, making campaign donations and investing in other crypto companies. Prosecutors contend he defrauded customers of, investors in and lenders to his crypto trading firm.
The charges revealed Wednesday show that prosecutors and regulators believe Bankman-Fried was far from alone in running his scheme and worked with a close circle of colleagues, who followed his directions and played a key role in executing the fraud. The SEC said that Ellison had misused FTX customer deposits to fund Alameda's trading activity and that Wang had created software that allowed that diversion of funds to take place.
"Ellison and Wang were active participants in the scheme to deceive FTX's investors and engaged in conduct that was critical to its success," the SEC said in a statement.
The collapse of FTX and the prosecution of Bankman-Fried have been a major blow to the crypto industry, which has reeled for months as the prices of digital assets such as bitcoin and ether have plunged and a procession of major companies have filed for bankruptcy. The sudden implosion of FTX has unsettled customers of other crypto trading platforms, which are scrambling to assure investors that their money is safe.
The guilty pleas by Ellison and Wang could push other former high-ranking executives to cooperate with the authorities in the case against Bankman-Fried, who faces charges including fraud, money laundering and campaign finance offenses.
In a videotaped statement Wednesday night, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Wang and Ellison were charged "in connection with their roles in the frauds that contributed to FTX's collapse."
Williams reiterated a point he made last week when his office filed the criminal charges against Bankman-Fried. "If you participated in misconduct at FTX or Alameda, now is the time to get ahead of it," he said. "We are moving quickly, and our patience is not eternal."
Williams added that Bankman-Fried was in FBI custody and being brought back to the United States from the Bahamas, and would be presented before a judge as soon as possible. The crypto entrepreneur is expected to appear in U.S. District Court as early as Thursday.
Lawyers for Ellison declined to comment. Ilan Graff, a lawyer for Wang, said, "Gary has accepted responsibility for his actions and takes seriously his obligations as a cooperating witness."
During a two-week media blitz before his arrest on Dec. 12, Bankman-Fried claimed he had done nothing wrong and never intended to defraud anyone. He also claimed he wasn't fully aware of what was happening at Alameda.
A spokesperson for Bankman-Fried declined to comment.
While the guilty pleas by Ellison and Wang appear to be sealed under court orders, their plea agreements were released by prosecutors Wednesday night. Ellison pleaded guilty to seven counts: two counts of wire fraud and five conspiracy counts involving wire, securities and commodities fraud and money laundering. Wang pleaded guilty to wire fraud and three conspiracy counts, which involved wire, securities and commodities fraud.
In the agreements, which were signed Monday, Ellison and Wang pledged to "cooperate fully" with the U.S. attorney's office, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, and to "truthfully and completely disclose all information concerning all matters" they are asked about.
In its complaint, the SEC said Ellison, under direction from Bankman-Fried, had manipulated the price of a digital currency that FTX created, called FTT, by buying large quantities to prop up its price. Alameda was one of the major firms that was trading FTT and had used the crypto token as collateral for loans it got from other big crypto firms to fund its trading.
Authorities have said that investors, lenders and customers were not aware of how closely connected FTX and Alameda were and that they operated essentially as one entity.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission charged that Ellison had helped Bankman-Fried by making deceptive and misleading statements about the supposed separation between Alameda and FTX.
Wang helped further those close ties by creating systems that gave Alameda an unfair advantage over other customers in executing trades on the FTX platform, according to the commission.
Ellison met Bankman-Fried at the quantitative trading firm Jane Street, where she worked after graduating from Stanford University. Both were involved in effective altruism — a community focused on using data to maximize the long-term impact of charitable donations.
Bankman-Fried left Jane Street and founded Alameda in 2017. Ellison joined him in 2018 and soon became a member of his inner circle. She followed him to Hong Kong, and took over as CEO of Alameda after Bankman-Fried founded FTX with Wang in 2019.
Wang was also part of the effective altruism community. Before he started working with Bankman-Fried, he was a software engineer at Google, where he developed price aggregation systems for Google Flights. Since FTX's founding, he has kept a low public profile, allowing Bankman-Fried to become the face of the exchange.
But behind the scenes, Wang played a key role in FTX, as one of the executives responsible for writing the platform's software code, according to the SEC.
As FTX collapsed, Ellison gathered a group of Alameda staff members who were working from the company's office in Hong Kong, and confessed that the firm had used customers' deposits to fill a shortfall in its accounts, The New York Times previously reported. She told them that she, Bankman-Fried, Wang and another executive, Nishad Singh, had all been aware of the scheme.

Shane Warne's Charity Cleared of Wrongdoing, Still to Close
Ellie Cooper
Former cricketer Shane Warne's charity has been cleared of any wrongdoing related to its fundraising activities after the wrap up of a Consumer Affairs investigation.
Ellie Cooper | 12 January 2017 at 4:06 pm
The watchdog began its 11-month investigation into The Shane Warne Foundation in February last year after concerns were raised about the charity's reporting and accounting practices.
Largely this was due to the foundation's "inconsistent and late" reporting about its financial affairs.
Consumer Affairs director Simon Cohen said in a public statement that no more-serious instances of misconduct were found.
"The inquiries demonstrate non‑compliance by the foundation with some provisions of the [Fundraising] Act, in particular, requirements to submit annual accounts in a timely manner," Cohen said.
"Importantly, the inquiries have not otherwise found evidence of unlawful conduct or a failure on the part of the foundation to give the net proceeds of appeals to named beneficiaries."
However, he advised the foundation in October 2016 that he was considering whether to deregister it due to the low proportion of funds distributed to beneficiaries in recent years.
In its first five years of operation, from 2005, the foundation reported that a high proportion of funds were delivered to its beneficiaries, approximately 70 per cent each year.
However, since then, the watchdog said the foundation had distributed a low proportion of funds to beneficiaries.
"A cause of this was the foundation's high level of expenses when compared to its income," Cohen said.
Fairfax also reported that from 2011 to 2013 the foundation passed on just 16 cents of every dollar it raised.
According to the fundraising registration guidelines, fundraisers that distribute less than 35 per cent of funds raised must justify why they should still be registered.
However, the foundation announced its intention to close in January 2016, and then in December entered an undertaking with Consumer Affairs to wind up as soon as practicable and cease all fundraising activities.
Cohen said this meant no further action was required. Consumer Affairs will still monitor the foundation's activities as it closes.
Warne welcomed the outcome of the investigation.
"As expected CAV and the Commonwealth charity regulators have cleared The Shane Warne Foundation of any wrong doing besides one late lodging of annual accounts by the due date in 2015," he said on Facebook.
"The foundation, myself, management, ambassadors and the board have always maintained that nothing inappropriate had occurred and now it's official after these thorough investigations.
"It's disappointing one particular media publication continued to run inaccurate and baseless articles that mislead the public. Thank you to everyone for their unwavering support, it has meant a lot to all of us."
The Shane Warne Foundation also released a statement announcing its next steps.
"The foundation announced its intention to wind up in January 2016. Since that time, it has spent significant resources responding to inquiries from the Victorian and Commonwealth charity regulators," it said.
"Now that those inquiries are complete, with no finding of any wrongdoing relating to its fundraising activities, the foundation will take all steps necessary to wind up its operations as soon as possible and make a final distribution to its beneficiaries."
The foundation said more than $4 million had been distributed to 130 charities that help sick and underprivileged children since its launch.

Distracted driving is fast becoming one of the top causes of traffic accidents today. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 391,000 people are injured by distracted driving accidents alone; nearly 3,500 are killed in those accidents.
While laws have been put in place to counteract these deadly effects, like California's ban on using hand-held devices or texting while driving, we at the Law Offices of Michael R. Kaiser know that it will take more than the law to hold distracted drivers accountable. That's why we put our efforts into maximizing compensation for those victimized by distracted driving. Higher insurance rates and possible traffic citations can be just the wake-up call a negligent driver needs.
With all of California's congestion issues, all it takes is half a second to turn a daily commute into a serious collision. Even being stopped at traffic signals or stop-signs doesn't minimize the risk. These activities all take attention away from the road, so distracted drivers are less aware and less apt to check their surroundings before pulling ahead into a perhaps-still-busy intersection.
If you or a family member was involved in a distracted driving accident, we can help you pursue compensation for any injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage you've endured as a result. Attorney Michael Kaiser has more than 40 years of experience handling personal injury claims and a background in insurance defense. He therefore knows how to build strong cases with the right evidence to obtain full and fair compensation from insurers.
If you or a loved one was injured in a distracted driving accident in Palm Springs or anywhere in the Coachella Valley, we can help. Schedule a free initial consultation with our lawyers today by calling 760-459-8545 or sending us a message online.

Quiet, respectful, positive lady with a passion for travel, curiosity of life and love of animals.
Hello world! My name is Victoria and I am an energetic individual who loves life and new experiences. I have a passion for travel, experiencing new cultures and meeting others. I can be very talkative (I will most likely talk to your pets) , but can also be very quiet as I love to read and write. I'm a very clean, organized person, who follows the rules. I can be a couch potato with a book or spend the whole day hiking but will always leave your home and my home neat and clean.
As I catch up on crafting and reading while having quality time with my friends and family I am also contemplating where I would like to live next. A friend who uses the site herself recommended I join since I house sit and animal sit for others all over the world informally. I believe the site will allow me to experience new locations and aide me in my next step journey. If I can help others enjoy my passion of travel by giving them peace of mind knowing their home and animals are taken care of then its a positive exchange for both parties involved.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions whether its house sitting or travel related I love to chat.
I am new to the website yet in no means new to house sitting. I have been house sitting and pet sitting since 2003 in over 10 different states and several different countries. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs but have also taken care of horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, tortoises and fish. I am very comfortable with animals, a rule follower, and like to leave a place how I have found it or cleaner. I'm a very good communicator and will often send photos of your fur babies even if not requested. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions!
Victoria is responsible, dependable, generous with her time and intelligence, warm-hearted, friendly, creative, and organized. I rented her AirBnB for an extended time and her place was always very clean, thoughtfully decorated, and plentiful with natural cleaning supplies. I have known her for 4 years since then. She has strong communication skills and is a HUGE pet-lover! I would trust her to watch my house and my pups ANY time!!!


Senator LINDGREN (Queensland) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. Will the minister inform the Senate of whether she is aware of any activity that highlights the necessity of improved accountability and governance of registered organisations?
Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:29): I thank Senator Lindgren for her question. We on this side of the chamber are strongly opposed to the corruption and misuse of membership funds wherever it occurs, whether the entity involved is a trade union or whether it is an employer body or other professional organisation.
Unfortunately, the royal commission has heard mounting evidence of reckless spending sprees carried out by one registered organisation in New South Wales. The spending sprees have included Tiffany jewellery, a corporate package for a Monster Truck show, indoor skydiving lessons and tattoos, all of which were charged to credit cards funded by the organisation's membership. I would hope that all in this chamber agree that officials should never view the hard-working members of their organisations as nothing more or less than a cash cow to be exploited for their own personal benefit. In fact, I am sure that all in this chamber, and the low-paid workers who paid almost $600 a year to join this organisation, would be absolutely outraged at how their personal moneys were spent.
What we have seen in the royal commission to date are three consistent themes: bogus invoices, secret payments and inflated false memberships. That is why this government has introduced changes to establish an effective regulator, the Registered Organisations Commission, with proper powers to ensure that this type of behaviour can no longer occur. If you are misappropriating members' funds, regardless of who you are, you deserve to be found out and penalised. If you are not, quite frankly, you have nothing to worry about.
Senator LINDGREN (Queensland) (14:31): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister advise the Senate why it is important that all registered organisations, not just trade unions, be accountable to their members?
Senator LINDGREN (Queensland) (14:32): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Is the minister aware of any impediments to ensuring that the officials of registered organisations are properly accountable for their use of members' funds?

We know Dr. McDevitt will always take good care of our family's eye care and that's why we wouldn't go to anywhere else."
"I was having headaches and felt my contacts were easily drying out all the time. I went in to see Dr. McDevitt and after an evaluation, he suggested a switch in the type of lenses I use. Within a week of using the new lenses, I noticed a change and haven't had any problems since. Thanks, Dr. McDevitt!"
"I had considered Lasik surgery in the past, but was still hesitant about the process. Dr. McDevitt was very thorough in his consultation with me and answered all of my questions, making me feel comfortable with going forward with the procedure. I'm so glad I did the Lasik, it has been of great convenience to me and my sight has never been better."

Hi, No, Dorinda's Gross Boyfriend Is Not the 'Breakout Star' of RHONY
Today, the New York Post published something so ill-informed, so inaccurate, so dangerous, that my head is spinning.
The hottest new cast member of "The Real Housewives of New York" has a gut, chest hair and sweats at the mere sight of sun.
That's right. The Post is trying to tell us that John Mahdessian—dry cleaning entrepreneur, boyfriend to new Real Housewives castmember Dorinda, reanimated meatball (I'm sorry!)—is the new "breakout star" of The Real Housewives of New York City.
Counterpoint: No, he isn't.
Mahdessian is the show's breakout star this year, thanks to his and Medley's cantankerous relationship, his shameless flirting and his larger-than-life personality.
In one episode, the 49-year-old is caught grinding against Housewives Sonja Morgan and Kristen Taekman like a horny spring-breaker; in another, he's partying it up solo, to everyone's horror, at midtown's Beautique.
Last week, Ramona Singer called Mahdessian "crass" and accused him of using her pal for her swank uptown pad and connections.
The "Sultan of Stains," as the Post refers to him, is unruffled by the (relatively little) attention he has received from fans of the show.
"It really doesn't do anything for me because when I go to the Met Gala, the richest, most prominent people recognize me," says Mahdessian, who keeps a pack of Marlboro Lights within reach.
Cool. He maybe goes to the Met Gala, he's a horrible boyfriend, he's clearly in the mafia, and if I have to imagine him having sex with Dorinda one more time I'm going to die.
"I was able to develop methods and techniques that allow us to be leaders and pioneers now in our industry," he says from his tiny, windowless office, its fridge stocked with bottles of Notorious Pink, the line of rosé his girlfriend is hawking.
John is not a pioneer. John is a dry cleaner, which is totally fine, but what's not fine is the fact that he is a real live caveman who frequently turns puce for no good reason. Literally anyone else in the world would have been a better subject for this article. For example:
Dorinda, John's girlfriend, who is an actual member of the cast and wore the same dress a bunch of times in a very relatable way.
Carole's extremely hot 28-year-old boyfriend Adam, who deserves more screen time.
Fredrik from Million Dollar Listing, who keeps showing up to pat Bethenny's shoulder when she cries about her apartment renovation.
The mouth guard that flew out of the ring and landed next to a screaming Kristen Taekman at that weird boxing match Carole made everyone attend.
This was a gigantic mistake.


A neighborhood fun day was held for Lonsdale residents at Sam E. Hill Park, and Emerald Youth Foundation representatives were available to hear from community members about the proposal.
Emerald Youth representatives attended the Lonsdale International Food and Crafts Market at Lonsdale Park to provide information about the proposal and listen to residents' feedback.
At the conclusion of Vacation Bible School hosted annually by Lonsdale churches, Emerald Youth's Kevin DuBose spoke to community members and sought their feedback.
Bridge Refugee Services celebrated World Refugee Day, and Emerald Youth representatives participated in Bridge's annual event to share about what Emerald offers refugees who have resettled in Knoxville, including many who live in Lonsdale.
In a 7-1 vote, the Board of Education approved a resolution to surplus property next to Sam E. Hill Family Community Center to Knox County.

Not really, because primitive communism requires a capability for empathy, democratic debate and division of labor. Engels also calls it "military democracy". Chimps treat each other like shit all the time because they're like little children.

I am pretty sure people wanked in the USSR as much as they did in the Paris Commune and even in prehistoric times, that mysterious time where alienated relationships were supposed to have never existed. Can you provide a history of wanking, showing a positive, causative correlation with the rise of the bourgeoisie?
Wanking is much harder to discuss. Sex in general would perhaps be a better subject to talk about.
It is a little awkward to cite this after Kirov's rant about the book, but Engels' Origins of the Family gives a detailed account of sexuality through states of the family, "Reconstructing thus the past history of the family, Morgan, in agreement with most of his colleagues, arrives at a primitive stage when unrestricted sexual freedom prevailed within the tribe, every woman belonging equally to every man and every man to every woman."
In later stages of the family, the nuclear family was formed.
Why would men want to change this system if they were sacrificing sex with as many women as they wanted for just one? At some stage it must have become apparent that jealousy over women was becoming violent (much like in the animal kingdom), and such jealousy disabled cooperation between different members of tribes. This need to change social relationships to allow for cooperation was the source of the creation of the family.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/w ... y/ch02.htm
It is just my view that this sexual evolution defeats the idea that animalistic instincts for sex cannot be abridged.
Do you think wanking would be very important to men willing to give up sex with hundreds, if not thousands, of women in their lifetimes? I think here, right when our early animalistic instincts were broken by the early family, we can pick a time in history when desire for sex was not important. I highly doubt a single male would have had interest in masturbating at this period in human history (where he would have just given up the pleasures of communal sex).

@Mabool and Loz's girlfriend
Actually you're both wrong, chimp social organization is extremely primitive (compared to the baboon master race). Early humans on the other hand were able to make stone tools to dismember animal corpses and also make things such as clothes. Chimps on the other hand are stuck in stupid trees and can't even walk like people because they have hands on their legs instead of feet. At best they use sticks to catch ants, but that is like a sad joke compared to what humans did.
Also, it is now becoming apparent that the earliest humans were scavengers because they were too shitty at killing stuff as their tools weren't good enough.

Evolution is not progressive, bud.

"Every time is gyros time" - Stalinista
No, that doesn't make any sense. If you look at Engels's work, you'll see how he explains the formation of the nuclear family on an economic basis - survival is of course more important than sexual gratification. I doubt these men suddenly got less horny because that's just a huge non sequitur.
Do you think wanking would be very important to men willing to give up sex with hundreds, if not thousands, of women in their lifetimes?
I think you're confusing a process of social development that took millennia (it still isn't completed in Saudi Arabia for frag's sake) with some imaginary heroic sacrifice.
I think here, right when our early animalistic instincts were broken by the early family, we can pick a time in history when desire for sex was not important. I highly doubt a single male would have had interest in masturbating at this period in human history (where he would have just given up the pleasures of communal sex).
Why are you only talking about male masturbation?
I agree with everything you're saying here. Why am I wrong?
Oh, I didn't actually read your post now that I think about it, I just subconsciously wanted you to be wrong, I guess.
Sigh... Excessive masturbation leads to a release of Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Oxytocin, and Serotonin. The fact that self-satisfaction is sought for (which is an illusion, you just want the chemical discharges), rather than the sexual act itself, means that masturbation is comparable to drug use.
This is all I've got left. It was fun playing.
By that analogy, sex is drug use plus sharing needles. Or at least can be when its a person you don't particularly care for and are driven solely by the desire to have sex. How do we ban that too?
Kirov wrote:
I never called for banning anything.
Also, are you saying sex is not an addiction? It is in fact an addiction that many people seek treatment for.

From the same chemicals/hormones that are released by the brain with sex or no. It is possible to have deeply unsatisfying sex that feels worse than masturbation with someone you feel affections and love for, why does human sexuality have to be reduced to this simplistic chemical interpretation? It's massively complicated, perhaps more so for gay people than it is for straight people as they have to run the daily gauntlet of abuse if others with little empathy and a false Christian piety are made aware of their sexuality. I only mention homosexuality as it has been brought up on the board by another member who is insistent it causes disease or whatever 1950s nonsense you can dredge up from the past.
"Phil Spector is haunting Europe" -Dr. Karl H. Marx
So why differentiate it from relatively harmless wanking that won't get you HIV or hepatitis and at worst will make you appear lazy and unmotivated for a little while? It's like comparing weed and krokodil.
Excessive masturbation leads to a release of Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Oxytocin, and Serotonin.
As does any pleasurable activity. I don't think neurotransmitters do what you think they do.
And hey, I've practiced nofap as well and found it really interesting, but you're just being completely neurotic about this.
Recreational jogging (i.e. to not really improve personal fitness) is bourgeois too, it releases those same chemicals in the brain, and doesn't achieve anything other than pure self-indulgence. Havee3333333, is that related to the effects of bourgeois atomism and alienation from one's fellow humans?
Hard labour actually does the same thing to the brain. Are you saying anybody engaged in tough physical labour is bourgeois? I had a job at a duck farm until recently, and can claim a similar sense of satisfaction after the work had ended, the hard bit was moving an entire ton of hay and spreading it across the duck's area of habitation. It was alienating work for sure, but how does that feeling of satisfaction and then exhaustion for a while make me bourgeois?
Mabool wrote:
Empathy, sure. Debate, maybe, but debate in the sense we'd think of didn't come until complex language. That'd be too symbolic for the earliest of human societies. Hence why I used the chimpanzee example; they can abstract enough to learn basic sign language, but haven't done anything past that and may be incapable of it. We had bigger brains and better grasp of tools early on, which let us get past that. But otherwise, their society is closer to a hunter-gatherer/primitive-communist one than anything around. Besides still-extant primitive human groups, and I don't think anthropologists have watched to see if they touch themselves. Chimps do.
Also, hunters could also gather and gatherers could also hunt, per observed hunter-gatherer societies. Division of labor didn't really come until domestication. That'd be the transition from a band society to a tribal one, from paleolithic to neolithic. Whether or not the latter is primitive-communism is very debatable. It's more hierarchical than something like the Khoisan at the very least.
I agree 100% with your apply to Havee, though.

1) "Excessive masturbation." We're talking masturbation in general, you keep shifting back and forth on whether you're talking about it in general or it in excess. As if you see the two as the same.
2) Know what else leads to a release of dopamine? Eating chocolate. To a lesser degree eating literally anything that tastes good,. Something as simple as pizza can be a psychological addiction. Does that mean socialism means living off stale bread?
I mean, seriously, this line of reasoning could mean taking away anything pleasurable. Because, after all, "self-satisfaction is bourgeois."

To further that point, MissStrangelove, paleoanthropologists can point to the growing size of the human brain by looking at the scattered and fragmented record of our ancestors over about 2 million years when we were still most definitely a competing species and not possessing the hegemony we do now, naked and hairless without the ability to craft tools and fashion clothing from either hides or cotton or nylon, this is one of the things that really sets us apart from chimps. Remains in Scotland point to early humans using a cave as a base camp in the Winter months, with vast piles of oyster shells and some flint shards and cutting edges, oysters are a great source of fat, protein, carbs and vitamins. They could only access them by using tools fashioned from the antlers of deer, as exhibited as damage marks on the shells themselves. A chimp would see a stick and use that: a human would see two stag deer fighting and comment on the strength of the antlers and proceed to kill, eat and utilise every part of the animal using any kind of tool available, in this case, flint. This could suggest a division of labour in travelling tribes. Knapping a bit of flint that you can cut a deer open with is a skill you learn from experience and specialisation.
I am against a puritanical understanding of the world, the only virtue I really get behind is a notion of social justice, and to paraphrase Marx I want people to enjoy the fruits of their labours. Enjoyment isn't a decadent symptom of a decline in moral standards, but simply the human condition - we all mourn and experience severe grief at one point, we all experience the all-encompassing joy and sorrow of Mahler, we all enjoy eating a bit of fatty food every now and again. Is enjoying the fruits of your labour, or the labour of others (alienated labour as you did not do it yourself) a bourgeois trait?
I am intrigued as to why you think that masturbation is an alienated form of sex
It is basically having indirect mental sexual interaction with another individual without their knowledge. Turning individuals into sexual mental icons is not a dignified or respectable expression of sexuality. It is basically exploitation of another person's image to gain personal benefit. Perhaps if the person you were having such thoughts about had knowledge, personally witnessed, or assisted in the wanking, it wouldn't be so alienated, but I just cannot see how you don't regard masturbation an alienated relationship between two individuals.
The release of dopamine is incredibly higher during sex and drug use than any of the activities you've listed here. It is ridiculous to take this on such a pointless route... The excessive discharge of dopamine during masturbation, combined with its wastefulness in productive activity, is what makes it bourgeois.
I might as well take on a functionalist position to address these points - the function of sexual organs is to reproduce, and dopamine is a reward mechanism to increase the desire to reproduce - exploited by excessive and blind usage not intended for reproduction. Only the excessive non-function portion here is bourgeois.
Running and jogging is one of the functions of the evolutionary developed skeletal and muscle structure, so excessive running does not go against the function of running mechanisms - and the reward system is properly used (not bourgeois).
"Hard labour"
Humans have developed as an evolutionary function the ability to create and produce, by both hand and thought, so excess in this department is not bourgeois.
Porn/Masturbation addiction is a real psychological problem... You people are stuck with 1990's and 2000's mindsets that think it is harmless... It is not, just read the Reddit porn addicts support forum.

What, before I go to bed after being at work for hours lugging a ton of straw about the place? How is it bourgeois to have a wank before going to sleep? What else are you going to do before going to bed, read some of Lenin's more boring letters and relate them to how to dress up warm for the Winter, or relate them on how to correctly chop an onion?
Porn addiction is more about the internet being simply a new form of transmission of information, rather than spending £5 on a dodgy magazine, you can spend £5 on your dial-up bill downloading 3 grainy images that are in no way erotic and incur the wrath of your ISP as to why you are downloading so much. As far as I know, there are many prehistoric fertility symbols that are carved images of naked women. The implication when looking at the image is an alienated incarnation of the ideal woman, enough to get many people thinking about sex, possibly masturbation.
You also imply that the point of sex is to reproduce, so should we be limited to having sex only when we want to have children? Contraception must be bourgeois! I wanted to bring this up earlier, but you did provide the ammo against yourself, sorry "the rope by which [you will hang yourself]"-V.I. Lenin, rather than me just assuming you would come out with such a stupid statement that every human function is just that - functional and not in any way ceremonial, spiritual or pleasurable. It strikes me that you may have a limited experience with these matters and should really lay off commenting until you've had more time to experience things and just get comfortable with the fact that the complex social arrangements we have to negotiate every second of the day are also limited and/or enhanced by our bodies.

As I pointed out earlier, masturbation is a trait legitimizing basic capitalist social relations. I am not going to list these capitalist social relations, as I already did so in previous posts. This is why I recognize it as "bourgeois."
Yes I do masturbate every now and again, what's the problem with that?
As I pointed out earlier, masturbation is a trait legitimizing basic capitalist social relations.
No you didn't, and this is why I keep calling you up on this. How is it a bourgeois trait? You really don't give any indication of how this is in any way related to the ownership of the means of production and the gamut of social relations in our complex societies and I would really like you to do so. Are you unwilling to provide evidence? Did the people of France stop wanking in 1789 for a week? Did Russians stop pleasuring themselves for a day in October 1917?
On page two, I specified it as legitimizing "capitalist consumptivism."
You really couldn't bother to go back and look this up?
And you are really boring to talk to... It is clear you are just defending this just because you personally do it...

Q: Floor function equality So the problem is the following
"Does the equality $\lfloor$nx$\rfloor$=n$\lfloor$x$\rfloor$ hold for integers n$\le$2"
I have been trying to look at the Hermite's identity to see if that could help but I couldn't get anywhere with that and I'm confused at to what approach I could use to simplify the problem. I know that you can for example use a=$\lfloor$x$\rfloor$ and use the doubleinequality a$\le$x$\lt$a+1 to argue different cases. Could someone help to shed some light at to what of the basics I'm missing to solve this problem?

A: We can rewrite $x=\lfloor x \rfloor + y$ where $ 0 \leq y < 1$.
The equation becomes $$\lfloor n \lfloor x \rfloor + ny \rfloor = n \lfloor x \rfloor$$
But since the first term is an integer, we can pull it out as such:
$$ n \lfloor x \rfloor + \lfloor ny \rfloor = n \lfloor x \rfloor$$
So we see that the equality holds iff $\lfloor ny \rfloor = 0$. However, this is not always the case - consider $y = \frac{1}{2}, n=2$.

Q: COUNT rows of sql query involving SELECT specific rows+FROM+WHERE+AND How do I return the count of rows returned by this query instead of query results:
SELECT collections.name, collections.description, collections.collection_id, collections.name, collections.description, collections.date, users.name
FROM users, collections
WHERE collections.user_id = users.user_id

SELECT count(*)
FROM...

which will return the count at the expense of the actual data, or you can use a function in whichever language you're using to query the database to check how many rows there are.

It might perform better than doing one query with a COUNT(*) and another to get the data.
ie can run one query to get the results - and at the same time get a count. (ok, you do still use two queries, but the second is cheap, its just fetching the calculated total)


Once only available to the rich, international travel is now an option for many people when it's time for a vacation. Flights are pretty much a commodity, these days you seem to get the same bad service from every carrier. Here are some suggestions for paying less for your flight to the UK.
Search major travel websites. Compare major websites for the rates, like Priceline, HotGuzzi.com, Travelocity etc. Note that some sites will show you separate prices for departing and returning flights. So at first they might look cheap. If Site A shows you $550 instead Site B showing $1000 on the first page, sure you would think Site A is cheaper. But remember that $550 you saw was only for departing flight. When you go for choosing Returning flight, there is another $550, so now your total is $1100. Site B comes out cheaper as it showed you final prices for both flights.
Consider going in the off-season. Flights are cheapest in January and most expensive in July and August. If you keep an eye out for specials you can often find $200 flights from the east coast and $300 flights from the west coast in January, round trip. At the peak of summer, it's often hard to find it for less than $1000 even if you do everything right.
Plan ahead. Don't wait until the last minute, as fares really go up. However, they also can be higher if you try to book too far in advance. Try to arrange it a couple of months before flying.
Travel on slower days. It's cheaper to fly on Tuesday or Wednesday than any other days of the week. Booking both your outward and return journeys on one of these days can save you $100 or more when booking a flight.
Remember, London has several airport options, not just Heathrow. Several airlines fly into London Gatwick, and recently two new airlines have started flying from New York and DC to London Stansted.
Consider flying from Canada. Non-US airlines can have significantly cheaper flights, which are made even less expensive with the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollars (though at the moment, the exchange rate is nearly 1:1, so it's not much of a difference as it once was).
Use the web. This is pretty obvious, but there are many websites that will allow you to compare fares.
Ask your friends who travel a lot for business if they have any frequent flier miles they would sell you. Most US carriers require 50,000 miles (80,000 km) for a round trip to London. A penny a mile is a pretty fair price to pay your friends. So if the flights you find are significantly higher than $500, this could be a real win-win for both of you. Keep in mind that it can be hard to find frequent flier seats at the last minute, so book early, and make sure there's a seat for you before you rely on this.
Take advantage of student discounts. If you're a student, consider searching the web for "student travel" and you should find some decent student-focused travel agencies that usually offer flights from NY to London for $250 roundtrip over the summer.
Be flexible. If you are flexible on timing, are traveling alone, and don't need to take much luggage, consider courier flights. You'll be expected to dress reasonably smartly, pick up a small package at the airport, and hand it over to an agent at the airport in London - in return you'll get a very cheap fare.
Sign up for updates. Many large online booking services offer email or SMS updates should rates decrease or meet your price requirements for flights to a specific location. Do your homework on which sites offer this. Make sure you cancel the subscription after your flight unless you want to continue receiving advertisements.
I live in central Virginia. There are several airports we could fly out of for London. Which is cheapest?
There is no definite answer here. You'll just have to look at ticket prices and compare them for yourself.
Which courier company is the best one to work with on the West Coast?
Norwegian Airlines offer low-fare long-haul tickets from the London area to both the East and West Coasts of USA. Prices and routes vary from season to season.

Here it is, this is the line up for the 2015 festival, and we´re happy to present 12 international artists from around the world attending No Limit Street Art Borås. On the 3-6th of September, the Swedish town Borås once again will open it´s walls to public art.
– It´s a really strong line up and we´ve managed to get artists from a lot of different art backgrounds. We started out with a success in 2014 and the people of Borås and visitors just loved the completed murals and installations. This year they will continue to get beautiful art to admire and I´m so looking forward to see all the participating artists in town, says curator Shai Dahan.
– We´re so happy to be able to do it again. We´ve managed to keep all the pieces from the festival of 2014 and now the mural gallery of Borås will be supplemented with pieces from 12 new artists. New walls, new spots and new experiences for the visitors together with the murals from last year will make an asthonising event, says project manager Stina Hallhagen.
No Limit 2015 will offer everything from large scale murals, small wooden figurines and stencil art to chrocheting and chalk paint. The festival of 2014 got a lot of media coverage both in national and international online and printed media. No Limit Street Art Borås is now also part of Google Cultural Institute.

The XO Telescope is an astronomical  telescope located on the 3,054 m (10,000 foot) summit of Haleakala on Maui, Hawaii.  It consists of two 200-millimeter telephoto camera lenses, and resembles binoculars in shape.   It is used by the XO Project to detect extrasolar planets using the transit method. It is similar to the TrES survey telescope. The construction of the one-of-a-kind telescope cost $60,000 for the hardware, and much more than that for the associated software.

Planets discovered
The XO telescope has discovered six objects so far, five are hot Jupiter planets and one, XO-3b, may be a brown dwarf. All were discovered using the transit method.

Light green rows indicate that the planet orbits one of the stars in a binary star system.

This is the first time I've featured shoe brand Charkviani here at ShoeperWoman.com, but if these gorgeous creations are anything to go by, I have a feeling it won't be the last.
These shoes are a really interesting mix of styles. I tend to think of metallic, pointed-toe pumps as a very contemporary, streamlined kind of style, while shoes with flower embellishments are a little more traditional and "girlie". It probably wouldn't have occurred to me to mix the two, adding a couple of pretty little flowers to a silver pump, but I guess that's why I'm not a shoe designer, because just look at the result!
In addition to the flowers, these shoes also have a very low-cut vamp, with a cut-out section on the toe to reveal a hint of toe cleavage. These would make lovely bride or bridesmaid shoes, and they also have a bit of a vintage feel to them, which I think would look wonderful with an old-fashioned prom dress, or big tulle skirt. I guess finding a reason to actually WEAR something like that would be the main problem here…well, that and the fact that they're £655, obviously!
They seem very bridal but I like them.

PURVIS, Miss. — Nearly 30 Lamar County School District employees' had their personal information compromised after an employee portal experienced a data breach.
Superintendent Tess Smith says the district uses a company called INNOVAK that allows staff to access their pay stubs and W2s through the internet. She tells WDAM-TV that the company experienced a security breach that affected several school districts in Mississippi and Alabama.
Smith says the FBI and IRS have been notified and are working to resolve the issue.
Smith says Lamar County was notified this month, and the school contacted the 28 people directly affected. INNOVAK says the breach was only related to employee W2s and no other information was accessed.
Smith says INNOVAK has locked down the portal, and precautions and safety measures are now in place.

Q: How do you parse json res data to a model in http observable? I would like to know how you can parse a json object into a model and use that model inside an array. I tried the following, but it didn't work for me after receiving data in the Observable:
getExampleData() : Observable<MyModel[]> {
  return this.http.get<MyModel[]>( this.exampleGetURL ).pipe(
    map((res:Response) => res),
    catchError( this.handleError )
  );
}

And here, I tried to log res data that should have been parsed into MyModel[], but it still is a json object instead.
this.myService.getExampleData().subscribe( (res:MyModel[]) => {
    console.log(res);
});

This is the model:
export class MyModel {
  public name   :string;
  public price  :number;

  constructor( name:string, price:number ) {
    this.name   = name;
    this.price  = price;
  }
  public printDetails() {
    console.log(this.name);
  }
}

What can I do about this situation?
update:
I know that this isn't the right way, because we should keep our code clean and neatly as possible, but I know that this does work:
getExampleData() : Observable<MyModel[]> {
    return <Observable<MyModel[]>>this.http.get( this.exampleGetURL ).pipe(
      map(res => {
        let myModels:MyModel[] = [];
        for( let el of <MyModel[]>res )
          myModels.push( new MyModel(el.name, el.price) );
        return myModels;
      }),
      catchError( this.handleError )
    );
  }

Is there a way to clean this mess?

A: Your model MyModel is a class. The HttpClient parses the body to plain objects (which normally could be defined by an interface), not class instances. (source)
But even changing your model to an interface will not solve your issue. Angular is not doing any casting. Check this SO post for some more information.

A: If you are using HttpClient, here is another way of doing it:
getExampleData() : Observable<MyModel[]> {
  return this.http.get( this.exampleGetURL ).pipe(
    map((res:MyModel[]) => res),
    catchError( this.handleError )
  );
}

A: Another solution would be to simply cast your observable with the wanted type:
getExampleData() : Observable<MyModel[]> {
  return <Observable<MyModel[]>> this.http.get( this.exampleGetURL ).pipe(
    catchError( this.handleError )
  );
}

Also, I recommend you use an http interceptor to handle your errors so that you wont have to catch them in every service.

Earlier this month we wrote a post about the benefits of WordPress, our darling web utility tool that lets us go about our business without too much difficulty. It's like an energetic golden retriever; it's undeniably loyal, but it may leave you with a bit of a mess if you get it overexcited. Minor cleanups here and there sound like a minor price to pay for a lifelong friendship. But, let's say you prefer the rigid structure of the Westminster: America's Dog Show, or the ability to run a secret underground lair in South America with a pack of tech-enabled talking dogs. If that's the case then you may want to consider using the HubSpot CMS as your blogging platform.
A battle between HubSpot and WordPress would be one between heavyweights. They're both extremely popular, they both have Search Engine Optimization features, and they're effective web design platforms. If you have an interest in inbound marketing, chances are you'll be using one of the two (or both). Listed below are the advantages of the HubSpot CMS.
Whitepapers, ebooks, calls-to-action, landing pages, blogs; you're going to have a long list of content that needs to be created if you want to be an inbound marketer. To keep all of that information organized you need to have an extremely efficient and rational system (or you can use HubSpot CMS). Using the inbound platform you'll be able to keep all of your content (blogs, ebooks, calls-to-action, etc.) organized because the Content Management System will manage it for you. That means you'll never have to worry about misplacing your content, all you have to do is create it.
While WordPress may be the more flexible platform, the HubSpot CMS will allow you to track and analyze how your content is performing. That information is essential if you plan on tracking the success of your marketing campaign and making any future alterations. Alterations that could be the difference between a customer and a lead. So, if you want to make more money and generate more successful marketing campaigns then you may want to consider moving to HubSpot. We still love you as a web design platform WordPress, but as a blogging platform, you may have finally met your match.
