RunnerDude's Blog: Please Sir, May I Have Some More?
When I hear the word porridge, the first thing that comes to mind is that scene in the movie Oliver. You know, the one where Oliver holds up his bowl and asks for more of the nasty looking, lumpy, liquid stuff the children are being served (right before the entire cast of kids break into song).
Jump out of the land of Dickens and into the 21st century and porridge is still around and can actually be a runner's best friend. Basically porridge is a dish made by boiling legumes or grain (usually oats that have been rolled, crushed, or cut) in water or milk. The modern version of porridge are those instant oatmeal packets you probably buy.
Oatmeal is a great grain. It's packed with nutrients and has as much protein as wheat, but with a higher fat content (the good kind) that helps keep you feeling fuller longer. It also contains almost no gluten which more and more people are having trouble digesting. Another big difference between oats and wheat is that oats retain their bran and germ during processing while wheat does not. You've all seen the Cheerios commercials lauding how they lower your cholesterol. That's because Cheerios are made of oats which are high in soluble fiber which has been shown to lower bad (LDL) cholesterol.
Most oatmeal has a G.I. around 40-55. Be careful, though. The G.I. can increase to over 70 with some instant oatmeal packets after all the sugar has been added. It's best to stick to rolled oats, quick-cooking rolled oats, or steel-cut oats. When using these varieties, you're in control the of the "extras" that are added.
Instant oatmeal is the variety found in those convenient packets to which you add milk or water and heat in the microwave for a minute or so. Instant oats have been precooked and are usually only eaten as cereal. There's nothing wrong with instant oatmeal, but like I mentioned earlier, some brands can contain a lot of extra sugar (and sodium), so be sure to check the label. Quick-cooking rolled oats are a better choice, because you can control the "extras." Quick-cooking oats get their name because they are rolled into thinner flakes that only take about 5 minutes to cook. Rolled Oats (G.I. = ~50) are created by a process invented by Quaker Mill way back in 1877. This process steams the groats (the hulled grain) which are then flattened by rollers to create the oat flakes. These take about 15 minutes to cook. And finally there's steel-cut oats (G.I. = ~42). A steel-cut oat is basically a whole oat grain cut in half. In this process the groats are sliced in half by steel blades. These take the longest to cook (about 30 minutes), but you should give them a try. They have a nice chewy, nutty flavor.
Because oatmeal has a low G.I., the carbohydrate is released into your bloodstream slowly. That's good because it will keep your energy levels consistent and help keep you from having cravings later in the morning. Low G.I. foods can help prolong physical endurance too.
As a runner, that consistent energy means you're less likely to crash during your run. Ever eat something like a Poptart before a run? If it was a short run, you were probably fine, but if it was a longer run, did you run out of steam? That loss of steam is due (in part) to not providing your body with a good fuel source that will last for the long haul.
Note: High G.I. carbs do have a place in your training. They help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise. A good 4:1 ration of simple carbs and protein within 30 minutes after your workout will help refuel your carb stores. Why is that important? Replenishing your carb stores and your protein will help with quicker and more complete muscle repair and recovery (you won't be as sore the next day).
So whether it's the quick variety or the longer-cooking kind, oats are a great food for runners. If you have a sensitive tummy on runs, you may want to use water or skim milk instead of 2% milk. My favorite way to eat oatmeal before a run is with a handful of chopped almonds or walnuts and a drizzle of honey on top. For a post run recovery snack, sometimes I'll add a heaping spoonful of Greek yogurt to help create that 4:1 (carbs/protein) ratio needed for quick muscle recovery.
So, if you haven't had them in a while, pick yourself up some oatmeal. Experiment with the various varieties and see which one end's up your favorite. BON APPETIT!
i looove me some good oatmeal. steel cut. Bob's Red Mill sells some really tasty ones at our local grocery. i like to mix them (uncooked) with fat free plain yogurt and banana, and leave it in the fridge overnight for a deeelicious breakfast.
Hey Gene! I'm gonna have to google Bob's Red Mill! Also gonna have to try your concoction. Sounds good!
while you're at it, check coach's oats. i think they're the whole oat - not cut at all. they're great!
Hi Kathy! Awesome!I've not seen those! I'll definitely check it out!

Ayant étudié les langues perses et syriaques à l'Université d'Oxford, il découvrit dans le livre japonais Shoku Nihongi la preuve de la visite d'un missionnaire persan (Keikyoto) appelé Rimitsui (ou Limitsi ) à Nara en 736, missionnaire qui aurait été le père de Yesbuzid (Jazedbuzid), prêtre nestorien chinois constructeur de la stèle nestorienne en Chine.

Après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il est devenu maire de sa ville natale, Hatsukaichi. Il fut aussi consulté pour la reconstruction de la ville d'Hiroshima, où un monument est érigé à sa mémoire, le Keikyo Scholar Yoshiro Saeki Memorial.

En 1962, il est devenu docteur Honoris Causa de l'Université Waseda.

Q: how to show a DIV only the first time a website is loaded I keep running around in circles about a show/hide a DIV.
I have this website: http://fugados.tumblr.com. I have embedded a map between the header and the posts as an iframe.
I'm looking for a way (and I'm blocked about how to do it) to show the map only the first time you load the website. After the initial load, if you click in a post or a page, I want the map hidden, with a band/button/tab to press if you want to see/open the map.
The reason is that the map takes up a lot of space, and moves down the content too much. The first visit to the website it's ok to see that the map is there, but if you want to read the content of the website, the map in every page eats too much space.
Thank you!

A: I think the eseist way is to use Local storage.
Set it on first Load
localStorage.setItem('wasVisited', 1);

And then check if it exists
if (localStorage.wasVisidet !== undefined ) {/* hide map */}

A: You should use cookies.
First time when the page loads check if there is cookie value i.e. "hide_map" set to true. If yes, then hide the map. If not then don't hide the map but set the cookie "hide_map" value to true. This way the next time the user loads the page the "hide_map" will be true and you will hide the map.

A: Create an ID for the map.
Then use document.getElementById("mapid").style.display="none";

A: In this page: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_cookies.asp it talks about your problem, you can tweek it instead of showing greetning, hide your map with simple jquery code $("#idofyourmap").hide();

To start, if you are reading this and do not own a gym bag, then stop right now and go buy one. If you do not have one by now, you are probably that person that walks into the CrossFit gym and leaves a trail behind them. Your arms are so full of water bottles, rock tape, chicken breast, and "wod gear," that you begin to set things down on every visible surface you can find. Go get a gym bag and you will have everything you need for your CrossFit workouts in one handy spot! Once you have your gym bag, make sure to fill it with these little gems.
Your hand care kit should include: cuticle cutters, a callus file, athletic tape, super glue to patch up a tear, and bag balm to soak into your calluses. Take care of those hands! Without them, you will be stuck doing abmat situps and sprintervals during the WOD.
Athletic tape is great for a quick fix or protecting your joints during a workout. It can also be used as a makeshift wrist wrap. Wrist wraps are just wonderful for giving extra support to your nimble wrists during CrossFit exercises like the overhead position, front rack, and even upside down for handstand pushups.
You never know when a coach might throw rope climbs into a CrossFit workout, so I always like to have my long socks or shin skins on hand. To keep things simple, be sure to keep at least one clean t-shirt in your bag. The citizens of the world will thank you for taking that 20 seconds to switch out your shirt if, like me, you tend to run errands after your CrossFit training at the gym. If you really want to wow them, toss a stick of deodorant in your bag – and here's some great advice — put it on before your workout!
You invest in the sweetest of gear, put in hours of CrossFit training, and push yourself to the limit during your CrossFit workouts. Why on earth would you neglect your body after your CrossFit workouts? Always keep some sort of protein in your gym bag. My favorite is a jar of almond butter. Other options are protein powder or a protein bar. If you cannot get in a meal of real food right away, you can at least replenish your body with some of the protein and other nutrients it so sorely needs after CrossFit routines.
Yes, I know the rat's nest of jump ropes at the CrossFit gym is always a blast to untangle before your CrossFit workouts, but if you want to get consistent at double unders, it is time to get your own jump rope. Having your own rope provides you with more consistency in your CrossFit training, therefore you will develop a better rhythm and become a double under ninja in no time.
Stop wasting time and energy running back to your car because you forgot something and dumping your CrossFit training junk everywhere. Get yourself gym bag, fill it with stuff on this fancy list and you will be able to focus your efforts on racking up those PRs!

Challenging the Political Right:
Towards an Effective Response
by Chip Berlet
The new conservatism has been successful because it has built a movement that serves as an umbrella under which political, religious, cultural, electoral, and economic sectors of conservatism and reaction can gather around shared concerns while still disagreeing about specific topical issues and long-term methodology.1 The great irony is that several rightists leaders admit they learned this coalition-building strategy from the labor, civil rights, and antiwar movements of the left.
It is important to understand that the various sectors of the political right have tapped into genuine anger and disillusionment within the middle and working classes. In some cases, like bleak economic futures and declining pay scales, the complaints are legitimate. In some cases, like majority backlash responses to the demands for social justice from marginalized groups, the complaints are illegitimate. But either way the sense of grievance is real. The sleight-of-hand employed by demagogues of the right is to focus this sense of grievance on scapegoats and conspiracist theories of secret liberal elites.
Progressives need to engage in three activities simultaneously: challenging the scapegoating, prejudice, and myths; providing clear strategic analysis and real alternatives that respond to people's specific legitimate concerns and needs; and joining in broad and diverse community-based coalitions engaged in joint work to solve specific problems.
Recognizing who has gained and who has lost in the current economic climate must be part of the discussion. As Frederick Douglass noted, those with power and privilege concede nothing without a struggle. The rightist backlash would have been less destabilizing had there been progressive leadership able to help pilot the society through the roaring ocean waves tossed up in reaction to demands for rectifying centuries of economic and social injustice. For instance blaming massive job loss and underemployment on affirmative action is scapegoating, but it would be a difficult scapegoat for the right to peddle in a full employment economy.
The cleverest trick is how the right has empowered and elevated spokespeople who, though often anecdotal, claim to represent vast constituencies: African-Americans who oppose affirmative action, women who oppose feminism, Mexican-Americans who call for immigration control. Their discourse is counterintuitive in its opposition to apparent self interest, and thus the hardest to decode and confront as scapegoating. Our most effective response as progressives is to empower and elevate as leaders persons whose core identities and beliefs transcend boundaries: Latina artists who support free expression and immigration rights, Christians who support separation of church and state, African-American lesbians who speak out against racism and homophobia, veterans who oppose militarism, comedians who gleefully dissect the absurd claims of our emperor politicians who flap about wearing no intellectual clothes.
In confronting scapegoating, it is important to isolate the handful of ideologues cynically promoting racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism and other forms of supremacy from their audience who may embrace these ideas consciously or unconsciously, but whose prejudice and discrimination has not hardened into a zealous worldview. The right has gained many of these converts because they are the only organized oppositional movement challenging the status quo in a coherent manner that provides seemingly plausible explanations and solutions. Labeling and demonizing the right as radicals and extremists who should be shunned is like helping miners pan for fool's gold on Saturday when we should be spending our workweek organizing them to take control of the mines.
The media has been easily manipulated by persons adept at scapegoating and demagoguery. In part this is due to the degrading of news as corporate empires gobble up media outlets and the reduction of resources made available for serious research while advertising pressures increasingly drive style and content. There are structural and stylistic reasons as well, including the emphasis on short takes and sound bites over more thoughtful longer discussions, the need for exciting images, the rise of infotainment and shock talk shows. Perhaps most influential has been the massive funding for right-wing think tanks that churn out talking heads like chicken nuggets and send them off to interviews surrounded by skillful publicity agents and media-packaging professionals.
Democratic public discourse is disrupted by scapegoating, Opposing scapegoating is both a moral issue and strategically vital because of the role scapegoating plays in building rightwing populism which can be harvested by fascism. Fascism begins by organizing a mass movement with bitter anti-regime rhetoric. Human rights organizers working for social and economic justice need to encourage forms of mass political participation, including democratic forms of populism, while simultaneously opposing scapegoating and conspiracism that often accompanies right-wing populism.
The removal of the obvious anti-communist underpinnings assisted left wing conspiracists in creating a parody of the fundamentalist/libertarian conspiracist critiques. Left wing conspiracists strip away the underlying religious fundamentalism, antisemitism, and economic social Darwinism, and peddle the repackaged product like carnival snake oil salesmen to unsuspecting sectors of the left. Those on the left who only see the antielitist aspects of right-wing populism and claim they are praiseworthy are playing with fire. Radical-sounding conspiracist critiques of the status quo are the wedge that fascism uses to penetrate and recruit from the left.
Given the trends we are facing, people who want to defend democracy have to fight on four fronts. We must organize against:
_ The rise of reactionary populism, nativism, & fascism with roots in white supremacy, antisemitism, subversion myths, and the many mutating offspring of the Freemason/Jewish banker conspiracy theories.
_ Theocracy and other anti-democratic forms of religious fundamentalism, around the world, which in the US is based in White Anglo-Saxon Protestant with its subtexts of patriarchy and homophobia.
_ Authoritarian state actions in the form of militarism and interventionism abroad and government repression and erosion of civil liberties at home.
_ The antidemocratic neocorporatism of multinational capital with its attack on the standard of living of working people around the globe.
As we promote progressive solutions, we must also join with all persons across the political spectrum to defend the basic ideas of mass democracy, even as we argue that it is an idea that has never been real for many here in our country. The principles of the Enlightenment are not our goal, but resisting attempts to push political discourse back to pre-enlightenment principles is nonetheless a worthy effort.
Some of these ideas first appeared in Third Force magazine, and in "Following the Threads." InUnraveling the Right: The New Conservatism in American Thought and Politics, ed. Amy E. Ansell. (Boulder, Colo.: Westview, 1998).
Democracy is a process,
not a specific set of institutions
Democracy is a process that assumes
the majority of people, over time,
given enough accurate information,
the ability to participate
in a free and open public debate,
and can vote without intimidation, reach constructive decisions
that benefit the whole of society, and
preserve liberty,
protect our freedoms,
extend equality, and
defend democracy.

Here yet again is one of the guides to that view, the 30 year average seasonal graphic from Sentimentrader.com (markups mine) showing the secondary low we'd projected in December and at the very left, what is usually a bullish January.
There was a pullback alright, and if you blinked you missed it. But using the miners as an example, the sector did do exactly what we'd asked it to do in order to maintain the resumed January rally view, that was to hold the green dotted support on the chart (HUI) below.
This is the busy daily chart we've been using in NFTRH to manage the sector view since last summer. We nailed the top at 220, were frustrated on a couple of bounce attempts in November and then prepared for the final washout and buying opportunity in December.
But the importance of HUI's daily chart today is that new rally high on Friday. As long as that new high holds the next objective is 205 and beyond that, potentially a test of the old 220 high.
Moving on to the metals, gold is once again approaching the gateway to a new bull market.
That gateway is the mid-high 1300s, at which point it was stopped in its tracks, as expected, back in September.
The monthly chart clearly shows this line in the sand. Volume conviction has been building and a fledgling uptrend may be beginning as ADX shows the downtrend exhausted and +DI slightly above –DI.
Silver has so far failed to lead the sector and for it to really get a boost we'd expect that to change.
Nominal silver is lurking just below key resistance. A break above there could bring on a euphoric surge. But first things first; silver is below resistance.
The gold sector is rising with the greater anti-USD 'inflation trade' and though many a gold bug will tout it as so, that is not the ultimate fundamental backdrop to make this sector unique. That would come after the liquidation of said 'inflation trade'.
The Commitments of Traders (not shown this week) for gold and silver are once again marching toward a bearish alignment. Have some moderation on any anxiety this may cause; it is only when the CoT complete their trends that a negative reaction is expected.
The above noted failure (so far) of silver to lead gold amid the 'inflation trade' backdrop.
The precious metals are on the expected rally from December through January and short-term trends are bullish. It is best not to read more into it just yet. An inflationary tide is lifting many boats and the real bull market in the precious metals may wait until many other boats have sunk.


"During eight years of the Bush Administration, the 400 richest Americans, who now own more than the bottom 150 million Americans, increased their net worth by $700 billion. In 2005, the top one per cent claimed 22 per cent of the national income, while the top ten per cent took half of the total income, the largest share since 1928.

Same ideas can be repurposed in a better way.
The essence of Enterprise Architecture is about establishing a "Dominant Strategy", that best achieves 'economy of scale'. The economy of scale will apply to each of the architecture design decision selected. The set of design decisions that leads the architecture planning from strategy to tactical and from tactical to execution needs to converge to a dominant strategy engaging all the stake holders led by a cohesive mechanism of Governance.
Note: EA is about discussing the largest picture of the enterprise. Hence, any decision made must ensure that it lends sufficiently across the enterprise while increasing its "reuse". This means 'economy of scale'. All decisions, including the technical design decisions must yield a better 'return on investment' from optimized 'performance vs cost' perspective.
The main goal of the Governance, is to lead the dialogue that an enterprise riddled with complexities is engaged in, towards a –"Dominant Strategy". In many ways the array of events that Governance trigers, while working towards converging the decisions to a cohesive set of results, is similar to the behavioral probabilities studied in Game Theory.
When a system is riddled with constraints, especially when 'money' as a resource is scarce, then it dominates the decisions needed to achieve the strategy. A system's behavior is governed by both micro and macro considerations. There is a threshold until which the system is probabilistically stable and is not affected by the micro behavior. After a certain threshold the micro behavior is unable to sustain the desired macro outcomes.
A strategy is dominant if, regardless of what any other players do, the strategy earns a player a larger payoff than any other. Hence, a strategy is dominant if it is always better than any other strategy, for any profile of other players' actions. Depending on whether "better" is defined with weak or strict inequalities, the strategy is termed strictly dominant or weakly dominant. If one strategy is dominant, than all others are dominated. For example, in the prisoner's dilemma, each player has a dominant strategy.
Architect will be forced to think economics first and then technology. Also, architecture will be about leveraging the existing infrastructure and then plan IT spending for only the essentials. ART in Architecture will still matter. The above curve looks like a bell curve. This is another example of extreme linearization resulting into gaussian distribution.
Extreme linearization leads into extreme exponential distribution resulting into extreme disparities. Top 20% in US earn 50% income and own 85% wealth. The rest of the 80% earn the rest of 50% and own only 15% of wealth. The question is what or who is EA serving. The 20% or the 80% of the population or is it the income or to the wealth. Or, all put together.
In the context of TARP and the percentages of tax paid by different demographics – who is paying whom? Those who shored up losses by the marginalizing the working class receiving the bail-out? In other words, to the losses white collar contributed, how much is the blue collar paying in bailout.
The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans now have a larger share of total income than they ever have in records going back nearly a century — an even larger amount than during the Roaring Twenties, the last time the US saw such similar disparities in wealth.
In recent years, the fact that differences between rich and poor are the greatest they've been since the Great Depression has become a popular talking point among liberal-leaning economists.
According to Saez's study, which Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman drew attention to at his New York Times blog, the top 10 percent of earners in America now receive nearly 50 percent of all the income earned in the United States, a higher percentage than they did during the 1920s.
During both expansions, the incomes of the top 1 percent grew extremely quickly at an annual rate over 10.3 and 10.1 percent respectively. However, while the bottom 99 percent of incomes grew at a solid pace of 2.7 percent per year from 1993–2000, these incomes grew only 1.3 percent per year from 2002–2007. As a result, in the economic expansion of 2002-2007, the top 1 percent captured two thirds of income growth.
The economic crisis that has taken hold over the past year isn't over, and the world could in fact see two more recessions before the crisis is finally over, says the chief economist of Germany's influential Deutsche Bank.
"The world is in trouble," Walter told CNBC.
TARP is not an inclusive system that addresses the blue collars. The auto industry still has to go begging, while the viscous white collared finance service sector gets blessed under TARP.
Hey! you poor blue collar insolent fool can't you just twiddle on your HARP and sing your blues away. At-least as a rejoinder to the apathetic Nero who is happy fiddling TARP and stoking to your misery, despite having a amok run with your money, while you undeservingly did not dread the drudgery. Or, can you wake-up poor sloth fool, else the Machiavellians will drain you further clean.

Australia demolish Proteas to win T20I series
Four T20I series in a row for Australia. (Getty Images)
AUSTRALIA'S push to win their first-ever T20 World Cup remains firmly on track, a 97-run thumping of South Africa in Cape Town handing the Australians four consecutive T20 series wins for the very first time.
In their first match at Newlands since the ball-tampering scandal two years ago, Australia's crushing victory was built on a rollicking start with the bat and another accomplished performance by their impressive bowling attack.
A 120-run opening stand between David Warner (57 from 37 balls) and Aaron Finch (55 from 37) provided the foundation for Australia's total of 5-193, the highest-ever in a T20I at Newlands.
And when Mitchell Starc removed Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis inside the opening three overs of the run chase, the former clean-bowled in identical fashion to his dismissal in the first match of the series, the Proteas were firmly on the back foot.
After Starc's opening burst, it was leg-spinner Adam Zampa who impressed in the run chase, taking two excellent outfield catches and finishing with 2-10 from three overs as South Africa were bowled out for just 96 in the 16th over.
It is South Africa's second-worst T20 loss to Australia, eclipsed only by the 107-run thrashing they suffered at the Wanderers five days ago.
In the past 12 months, Australia have now won T20 series in India and South Africa as well as home campaigns against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, losing just once in 11 matches.
Question marks remain over the make-up of their middle-order – the search for a late-innings finisher continues for coach Justin Langer and his fellow selectors – but the Australians have arguably never been as well placed to win the world 20-over title for the first time.
In contrast, Wednesday night's defeat means South Africa are now winless in seven consecutive series across all formats, a run stretching back to March last year.
As was the case in the series-opener at the Wanderers, Australia wrestled the momentum in the early stages of the match, thanks to a blistering start with the bat.
Finch and Warner powered their way to 75 in the six-over Powerplay and brought up a hundred-partnership inside nine overs, highlighted by five consecutive boundaries either side of the four-over mark.
But the innings stalled when both men were dismissed in quick succession, with Matthew Wade (10 off nine balls) and Mitchell Marsh (19 off 16) moved up the order but unable to produce the kind of innings they need as they look to secure a World Cup spot.
It was left to the unlikeliest of finishers, Steve Smith, to steer Australia close to the 200 mark, which looked to be the minimum they would have expected after Finch and Warner's opening burst.
Dropped down the order to No. 5, Smith finished unbeaten on 30 from 15 balls and clubbed 20 runs from the final over of the innings, including a jaw-dropping drive over the cover boundary that had the fans crammed onto the Newlands' grass bank ducking for cover.
After Starc uprooted de Kock's middle stump in the opening over, as he'd done at the Wanderers last Friday, he had Zampa to thank for the wicket of du Plessis in his next over.
The former Proteas skipper slashed at a ball so wide it would have been called had he missed it, squirting a top edge down to third man. Zampa sprinted forward to take the catch but the ball swerved viciously to the fielder's left as he approached, the South Australian reacting expertly to take the catch as it threatened to whistle past him.
The leg-spinner then bowled Heinrich Klaasen and Pite van Biljon as he and Australia's bowlers once again turned the screws in what the Australians hope is yet another preview of what's to come at the World Cup this year.

Voters are rallying behind the immigration-sceptic Finns Party according to Yle's latest political barometer, which shows the group with 15.1 percent approval. The party posted a 1.8-percentage-point gain in the poll to outstrip Prime Minister Juha Sipilä's Centre Party and grab third place as the country's most popular political force.
According to research director Tuomas Turja of pollster Taloustutkimus, the growth in backing for the Finns Party was especially due to so-called "sleeping voters" gravitating toward the nationalistic group.
"The Finns Party are now getting more supporters from those who didn't know or didn't want to say which party they voted for in the 2015 election," Turja added.
Meanwhile the National Coalition Party led by Finance Minister Petteri Orpo retained its second-place ranking with 15.8 percent approval, down marginally by 0.4 percentage points from a previous poll released on 7 March. At the same time, the NCP has narrowed the gap with the SDP.
According to Turja any confusion caused by the SDP's stance on meat consumption was not reflected in the outcome of Friday's survey. "The last week of measurement was the best for the SDP," the researcher noted.
Juha Sipilä's Centre Party saw a marginal bump in its approval rating, which edged up by 0.3 percentage points to 14.4 percent but was pushed into fourth place by the rise of the Finns Party.
Just one day after the last Yle poll, Sipilä marched to President Sauli Niinistö's residence at Mäntyniemi to announce his government's resignation over its failed social and health care reform programme. Reports indicated that the PM's decision to quit government had affected the party's election campaign. However the pollster did not see much evidence of this in the survey.
"The weekly results show that the support for the Centre rose in the week after the government's resignation. However after that it has remained unchanged. There was no evidence of a major spike," Turja commented.
Now in fifth place in the party ranking, the Greens have the support of 13 percent of voters, down 0.7 percentage points from the previous poll three weeks ago. Immediately trailing in sixth place, the Left Alliance saw a slight rise of 0.9 percentage points to settle at 9.8 percent voter backing. Taloustutkimus speculated that poll respondents may have switched allegiance from the Greens and the SDP to the Left.
According to Turja, all of the changes in Friday's poll fall well within the survey's margin of error of +/-2.3 percentage points. He noted that the margin of error is somewhat larger than usual because the sample size was smaller and the survey period was shorter than before.
"The fact that we see four parties separated by less than three percentage points is a very different situation than two years ago, for example," she pointed out, referring to municipal elections that took place in 2017.
"We can see a very European development there. The landscape is fragmenting and no one party alone has the top position," she added.
"In many ways, support for the Finns Party is difficult to forecast. But it could be that the party could once more surprise us during the election," Vuorelma said, adding that minimal polling differences among parties also makes government negotiations trickier.
Since the beginning of the year, Taloustutkimus has calculated the number of MPs parties would seat based on successive polls, compared to their current representation in parliament.
The calculations have been based on poll results gathered over the past six months, which means that the projected number of seats may differ from individual survey outcomes.
Based on current calculations the SDP, which has been leading in the polls, would win 13 additional seats, easily making it the largest political party with 47 MPs.
The pollster Taloustutkimus interviewed just under 2,000 respondents for the survey between 6 and 26 March.

Dismembering Lahui: A History of the Hawaiian Nation to 1887 (review)

Dismembering Lahui: A History of the Hawaiian Nation to 1887, by Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo'ole Osorio. Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2002.ISBN 0-8248-2549-7; x + 310 pages, tables, figures, notes, photographs, glossary, bibliography, index. Paper, US$21.95.
Jon Osorio's Dismembering Lahui marks the coming of age of theCenter forHawaiian Studies at theUniversity of Hawai'i at Manoa. It signifies continuity and progress in Hawaiian scholarship and bodes well for the future of Pacific scholarship: continuity in that Osorio builds on the passionate, consciousness-raising studies published in the early 1990s by his mentors, Haunani-Kay Trask and Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, who sought to galvanize and rally Hawaiian sentiment, and to articulate their contemporary feelings of disempowerment, loss, and anger; progress in that, while addressing his own people, Osorio's passion is also channeled into quite profound scholarship that examines neglected sources and adds a new dimension to our understanding of the Hawaiian past that has wider methodological and theoretical implications. In this respect, Osorio's work resembles that of his colleague Kanalu Terry [End Page 186] Young, whose Rethinking the Native Hawaiian Past (New York: Garland, 1998) offered a new and multilayered examination of the world of kaukauali'i (lesser chiefs in the service of higher chiefs) in traditional society, just as Osorio's work reveals an indigenous society during a crucial transition period in which sovereignty was not so much seized by Europeans as whittled away. Osorio and Young have built admirably on the solid foundation laid by Trask and Kame'eleihiwa to make Hawai'i one of the leading centers for indigenous scholarship in the Pacific.
Osorio examines the effects of introducing western-style law codes on Native Hawaiians between the first constitution in 1840 and the so-called Bayonet Constitution in 1887, which marked the constitutional transfer of political power to resident westerners. While focusing on legislative measures, Osorio never loses sight of the human dimension to the story. I have read and admired the works of Davida Malo (David Malo) and Samuel Kamakau for over a decade, but it was only after reading of them here—as legislators caught between trying to balance the good and the bad within both their Hawaiian past and a future modeled on western institutions—that I began to understand them as both historians and historical figures. Another highlight of this work is its focus on lesser-known Hawaiian legislators who sought to come to terms with these dynamic and turbulent times. Native Hawaiians become people rather than just a uniform culture, and this allows Osorio to explain the divisions of opinion within their communities. Osorio openly admits that this mo'olelo (history) was shaped by his own life as a Native Hawaiian. He says little about his genealogy, although one gets the impression thathis sympathies lie with the kaukauali'i (lesser chiefs) and maka'ainana (commoners).
The first chapter begins by noting that although the death of Captain Cook and the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy in the 1890s are more dramatic than the period he is covering, the period 1840 to 1887 marked a profound change in Hawaiian circumstances. It was a time characterized by a "slow, insinuating invasion of people, ideas and institutions" which featured "racial and legal discourse that crippled the will, confidence and trust as surely as leprosy and small pox claimed their limbs and lives" (3). The remainder of the chapter deals with the early years of the Kamehameha dynasty, when introduced diseases decimated the Hawaiian population, including much of its chiefly elite. Religious beliefs were disrupted by the rejection of the kapu in 1820 and the introduction of Christianity.
The next chapter deals with the first bout of legislative changes in the 1840s that transformed government at a time when most of the Native Hawaiian population still looked to their ali'i (chiefs) for leadership and did not expect a direct say in government. Osorio makes good use of legislative records and native petitions to government to...


So far we have explore, EMM and ECM aspects of NAS. EMM and ECM apply to per UE. So UE has single entity for EMM and ECM. This is not the case for ESM. At least theoretically... I mean to say, practically the earlier implementation may restrict one bearer per UE and connectivity with single PDN. However theoretically a UE can have multiple bearers per PDN and also connectivity with multiple PDNs. ESM is per EPS bearer. Each bearer has its own ESM FSM.
PDN is some network external to operator's LTE infrastructure. LTE infrastructure includes eUTRAN and EPC. Ultimately LTE or any other wireless network provides layer 2 connectivity for a mobile UE. So that end-user can transfer its layer-3 user packets (most likely IP packets) to some external network (most likely Internet). UE has layer 3 user data IP packets, that go (and come also from) beyond LTE infrastructure to PDN. The 'name of PDN' is 'APN value'. Internet, corporate intranet, MMS, IMS etc are popular example of such PDN. P-GW is at boundary between EPC and PDN.
UE needs an EPS bearer starting from UE to exit gateway (P-GW) of LTE network. Generally UE has one default bearer per PDN. Default bearer does not have neither QoS treatment nor TFT filters for user data. It just provides a basic connectivity between UE and P-GW for a single PDN. Some mobile application like VoIP call needs QoS treatment for user data. Dedicated bearers are meant for that. Here UE can demand QoS and TFT, but not new UE IP address. UE has single IP address per PDN. If UE and PDN both support both IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack, then only UE can have two default bearers and two IP addresses (IPv4 address and IPv6 address) per PDN.
If UE and network both capable to provide connectivity to multiple PDNs, then UE can have multiple default bearers and multiple IP addresses. It is like your desktop PC has multiple Ethernet cards, so you can connect your PC to multiple networks and configure it with multiple IP address. UE has single invisible OFDMA based LTE air interface towards network. However still it can emulate like two different Ethernet cards. At user plane UE can have multiple Layer 3 IP layers, with common Layer 2 LTE network. Each layer 3 connected to different PDNs. So UE have multiple bearers from UE to across LTE infrastructure till P-GW. Within single layer 3, UE can have default bearer for best effort treatment and possible dedicated bearer(s) for QoS treatment.
All EPS bearers (i.e. default and dedicated) have EPS Bearer ID (EBI). Network assigns its value. Earlier in 2.5G GPRS 3G UMTS network we had NSAPI, for EBI. So at UE few EBI values are used for default bearer(s) and rest are for dedicated bearer(s). UE can have one default bearer and zero or more dedicated bearer(s) per PDN. With EBI value, one can not discriminate whether it's for default bearer or dedicated bearer. LBI plays important role to link them and bundle them together. All dedicated bearer related messages contain LBI IE. Its value is EBI of default bearer for that PDN.
UE may have static IP address configures with OTA for per APN/PDN. Most of the case, P-GW acts as DHCP server and assign dynamic IP address to UE at the time of default bearer creation. Yes in some P-GW implementations, it consult radius server to allocate IP address for UE. Dynamic IP address allocation happens during default bearer allocation. This IP address remain same and valid for all other subsequent new dedicated bearer(s) for that PDN.
The following tree makes this concept clearer.
Here PDN1, PDN2 and PDN3 all are different, having different APN values. IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4 may or may not be different. QoS1, QoS2, QoS3 and QoS4 may or may not different. EBI1 to EBI8 all are different values, not necessary they are in sequence.
It looks like this article about NAS ESM is becoming lengthy. So let's have break after some details about PCO IE.
PCO IE is used to carry UE address. It also carries Primary and Secondary DNS addresses for that particular PDN. So the application can query and resolve any domain name to IP address by contacting the DNS server, within that PDN. All these three IP addresses can be IPv4 address or IPv6 address or both. It depends. If UE already knows their values, it mentions them in PCO, to confirm. Else, UE mention value as 0.0.0.0 (for IPv4 case) to request network for new assignment. PCO IE contains, PPP. PPP contains IPCP for all these IP addresses. PPP can also contain PAP and/or CHAP protocol(s) for user authentication. PCO and TFT are IEs, that are initiated at UE, transparently carried by intermediate nodes (eNB, MME and S-GW) and reached 'as they are' at P-GW.
Recap: This article covers, some important concepts about bearer and few important IEs like EBI, LBI, APN, PCO. I will continue ESM in next article and we will explore various ESM procedures.
Nice article,Do u have any article which distinguish QoS,EPS Brarer ID and TFT parameter.
Not to sound lame, but to clear my doubt..
Why does the PDN need a DNS when the UE can find the right PDN using the APN resolution?
Private DNS server used by S-GW / MME / SGSN for APN resolution and get IP address for P-GW / GGSN. It may also used to resolve P-CSCF for IMS network.
The article is really good. I got to know some of the basic things which i always used to wonder or wander about :) Thanks for that!!!
I anyway, have one small confusion.
why is that 'APN' and 'PDN' are interchangeably used? What is the exact relation between the two?
please explain me simple words.
It is very simple. PDN's name is APN.
PDN is network, represent with cloud in diagram. Packet Data NETWORK.
APN is its name. Access Point Name. It resolves to IP address with DNS query to private DNS server. This IP address belongs to gateway (GGSN or P-GW) which core network (CN) and PDN.
Please let me know whether my understanding is correct?
How to understand "IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4 may or may not be different. "
They all are some IP address.
Basically, I mean to say generally a UE will get different self IP from different PDNs. However it is not mandatory. In rare case it may get identical IP address.
For analogy, suppose, you have a PC with 2 Ethernet card. You connect your PC to 2 different networks. When run ifconfig (ipconfig for Windows) command, both Ethernet Interfaces will show different IP addresses. However, by choice, you can configure same IP address for both your Ethernet card connected to different network.
I hope, this make it clear.
Could you please tell me the date rate associated with the SRBs in LTE..??
following are the some basic doubts..
it looks bearer and pdp contexts are much similar. what are the main differences ?
same comparison in lte vs WCDMA ?
Is WCDMA & LTE both will retain their IP address in idle mode that is till they detach?
what is the maximum default & dedicated bearers can be triggered in LTE ? i see the bearer id goes till 31. but for data 5 to 15 11 data bearers ? so can a ue have 11 bearers ( default + dedicated )?
what is always ip connected in LTE ?
how about wcdma combined attach ? how it works ?
Does EBI value of default bearer of 3 PDN can has the same value?
As per my knowledge. No. EBI is like index for all bearers for a subscriber/UE. Default + Dedicated. So all default bearers for different PDN/APN will have different values.
Yes PDP context and default bearer both are similar.
1. There is no default PDP context. PDP context is established when user start data session (read start surfing). In case of LTE, when UE attach to the network, a default bearer is established without QoS. Thus, LTE UE is always IP connected.
2. bearer has IEs as per GTPv2. So they are in TLIV format. Few additional IEs.
4. QoS mapping are different.
Generally RTP is over dedicated bearer, as it has stringent latency requirement. However it is implementation specific. For Gold/platinum plan customer http, ftp everything can be on dedicated bearers. I guess, ftp is generally background task so no need of QoS treatment. So it can be on default bearer.
WCDMA combined attached is to save some radio resources. if UE and network both are capable then UE will perform combined attached. 3G-SGSN will intimate to 3G-MSC over Gs interface for CS-attach.
When a UE includes a DNS address in the PCO other than 0.0.0.0, will the network accept it and send the same back to the UE.

Cosplay, short for "costume play", is a performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Hidden behind the closed doors of our neighbors may live two different people. The person we see on the street, and the one who dons an elaborate costume to live an alternative life behind closed doors. Photographer Klaus Pichler takes us on a journey of people and their costumes with a look at both the real and the fantasy. The amazing costumes are made even more incredible by Pichler's careful framing of the pictures in home settings, bringing us a vision of both the costumed persona and the reality lives of his subjects. The combination of fascinating costumes and simple settings create stories more enticing than an in character shot. Have fun! And don't forget to check Halloween costumes for family.

BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: A panel of federal cancer experts said today the cancer drug Avastin should no longer be recommended to treat breast cancer . The move comes after follow-up studies showed few benefits for breast cancer patients and no real increase in survival rates. The full FDA is now expected to follow the recommendation of this panel, which came, by the way, in a vote of 12-to-one.


Forecasters bid 1000's and 1000's of of us in the Midwest and Giant Lakes will gaze file-shattering wind chills from 40 to Sixty five degrees under zero this week — cool so rude it could per chance maybe maybe maybe reason frostbite on uncovered pores and skin in five minutes or much less. Some a hundred million of us will abilities temperatures with regards to or under zero. Right here's what you dangle to clutch in regards to the polar vortex on the succor of the deep freeze.
The frigid air will approach from a rapid focus on with by the polar vortex — which is a gradual meteorological phenomenon, now no longer steady a sensational headline. It is a ways a whirling mass of cool air circulating in the mid- to higher-ranges of the atmosphere, present each frigid climate.
It on the total stays closer to the poles but each so frequently breaks apart, sending chunks of Arctic air southward into the U.S. at some stage in frigid climate.
This week's particularly cool outbreak could maybe maybe maybe be explained by the relative lack of cool air to this level this frigid climate in the jap U.S. In field of the cool air bleeding south a diminutive bit at a time, it be coming without be aware.
How cool will it accumulate?
The polar vortex will result in some shockingly cool temperatures this week. The Nationwide Climate Carrier in Chicago forecasts this can also be the coldest Arctic outbreak in 25 years and maybe since files dangle been saved.
Wednesday's excessive temperature in Chicago is forecast to be 12 under zero. Low temperatures from 5 to fifteen under zero are likely in Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany and Burlington with wind chills as diminutive as 40 under Thursday morning.
The worst impacts will spread from the Upper Midwest Tuesday, by the Giant Lakes Wednesday and into the Northeast by Thursday.
If there is any saving grace to this present bitter blast, it be that the mass of cool air could maybe maybe maybe also honest now no longer penetrate very a ways south, with the core staying over the northern 0.33 of the nation. Temperatures in central and South Florida will protect above 40 degrees.
How lengthy will the cool closing?
The cool blast could maybe maybe maybe also honest now no longer closing very lengthy. The coldest air could be in retreat by Friday. By Sunday temperatures will succor in the 50s in parts of the Ohio Valley — feeling esteem a hundred degrees hotter than this week's lowest wind chills.
Is the polar vortex linked to native climate alternate?
A counterintuitive plan in regards to the polar vortex is gaining floor amongst some in the native climate science community: Regional cool air outbreaks could maybe maybe maybe be getting an "help" from world warming. While it could per chance maybe maybe maybe also honest now no longer seem to effect sense before the whole lot learn about, scientifically it be in step with the extremes expected from native climate alternate.
Total, Earth is warming because of native climate alternate, but areas with regards to the North Pole are warming more than 2 times sooner than the remainder of the globe. This "Arctic Amplification" is particularly pronounced in frigid climate.
When warm air invades the Arctic Circle, it weakens the polar vortex, displacing cool air plenty southward into Europe, Asia and the US. It is probably you'll maybe maybe maybe likely also deem it as a once tight-knit circulation unraveling, slinging pieces of cool air outward.
Proof for this used to be presented in a analysis paper published in the Journal of the American Meteorological Society. In actual fact, it suggests native climate alternate can contribute to a more rude, wavy jet circulation, hurling cool air plenty farther south.
I truly dangle argued that low sea ice and extensive snow quilt [in autumn] as a results of Arctic amplification dangle resulted in extra frequent weakenings or disruptions of the polar vortex in most new decades.
When the polar vortex is well-liked or "perturbed," the float of air is weaker and meanders north and south (in want to west to east). This permits a redistribution of air plenty where cool air from the Arctic spills into the mid-latitudes and warm air from the subtropics is carried into the Arctic.
These questions take a look at the limits of both our accessible files (the obvious lengthen in frequency of these events in all fairness most new and so at simplest simplest steady beginning to emerge from the background noise) and the mannequin simulations.
As we confirmed in our most new Science article, present technology native climate items don't accumulate to the bottom of just among the key processes concerned with the jet circulation dynamics on the succor of many styles of climate extremes.
Just scientists can legitimately vary based totally on reasonable interpretations of the proof to this point.
In summary, most scientists concerned with this more or much less analysis are intrigued by the hypothesis. It is a ways a truly active residence of research. Typically, they agree that more gaze and improved native climate items are wanted to zero in on the causes and results.


Currently in the US, more than 250 million egg laying hens are suffering inside tiny wire cages so small, they're denied the ability to engage in some of their most natural behaviors, including walking. With virtually no laws to protect them, these smart and social animals are subjected to some of the worst abuses imaginable and are routinely treated in ways that would result in criminal prosecution if those same abuses were inflicted upon cats or dogs. That's why we've made it our mission to expose the rotten truth of egg production and promote compassionate food choices.
In 2001, Compassion Over Killing conducted our first undercover investigation inside an egg factory farm. Using still and video cameras, our investigators made their way through row upon row of battery cages documenting the routine horrors egg laying hens are forced to endure: intensive confinement, severe feather loss, untreated illness and injuries, birds immobilized in the wires of their cages, and dead birds left in cages with live hens.
In addition to going undercover ten more times to document the day-to-day miseries for animals on egg factory farms, we challenged the egg industry's misleading "Animal Care Certified" logo and we won, we took the egg industry to court for continued misleading marketing, and we've been urging the Food and Drug Administration to mandate the full disclosure of egg production methods on cartons, including the clear identification of "eggs from caged hens." Similar consumer protection measures have already been implemented in the European Union and in Australia.
We've also worked with several major food companies—including Quorn, Morningstar Farms, BOCA Foods, and Lightlife – to reduce or eliminate their use of eggs as well as offer more vegan options.
Now, there's a new opportunity to help millions of egg-laying hens in the US: The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012 (H.R. 3798). Compassion Over Killing is standing alongside other national animal protection organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States, Farm Sanctuary, and Mercy for Animals, in support of this newly-introduced and potentially precedent-setting bill.
What exactly would this bill do?
Ban barren battery cages and essentially phase in double the amount of space each laying hen is presently given.
Require environmental enrichments for birds such as perches, nesting boxes, and scratching areas for all hens.
Prohibit forced molting through starvation, an inhumane practice that involves withholding all food from birds for up to two weeks in order to manipulate the laying cycle. Tens of millions of hens in the country still endure this cruelty today.
Prohibit the sale of eggs and egg products in the U.S. that don't meet these requirements.
Who opposes this bill? National Cattlemen's Beef Association, National Pork Producers Council, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Sheep Industry, Association, National Farmers Union, National Turkey Federation, National Milk Producers Federation, and Egg Farmers of America.
Take Action Now: Contact your federal representatives asking them to support the Egg Products Inspection Act Amendment of 2012 (H.R. 3798).
While Compassion Over Killing firmly believes that the most effective step each of us can take to protect egg laying hens is to simply leave eggs off our plates – and we're thrilled to report that per capita egg consumption has been steadily decreasing since 2006 – this landmark legislation is an important step forward in reducing the suffering endured by more 250 million birds.

It's Like a Demented Version of Fiddler on the Roof
Independent Film Review: Strigoi (2009 / DVD 2011)
Summary: A young man returns from Italy to Romania and suspects his family to be involved in a murder.
"Vlad Cozma" (Catalin Paraschiv) returns from Italy to his Romanian village. Upon arriving, he discovers a local man dead with signs of strangulation and becomes convinced his family is trying to cover it up. The more Vlad investigates, the more he finds those of his village convinced that they know what happened and himself unable to accept their conclusion.
But concerning two other murders, when the village
killed the tyrannical mayor "Constantin Tirescu" (Constantin Barbulescu) and his wife (Camilia Maxim), they believed it was justice. Now, Constantin and the wife are back and really, really hungry.
Strigoi, we are told, is a Romanian myth that refers to the undead. The film connects the theme to vampires through food—undead binge eating and it is not a pretty picture. It's usually not even really a funny one, but most of all, it's not romantic or charming in the least.
How much can we expect from a low-budget movie with a tagline that says: "Real Vampires Don't Just Drink Your Blood"? Faye Jackson's Strigoi intends on serving up a double-portion of a well-choreographed, atmospherically-endowed take on the undead that doesn't go the way of boys taking off their shirts or changing into werewolves to appease 13-year-old, "nobody understands me" Goth-girls who wear black lap-stick. He succeeds.
But this vampire movie doesn't offer anyone what they want, and certainly not what they're used to. Whether or not the movie meets its goal will be determined by the only things it does effectively: gross us the hell out and make us think how terrible it would be to live in this sick, gloomy world with people who display such dodgy behavior. But isn't that what a good horror movie is supposed to do?
This is a long and rather slow film, one that could have used some trimming both in terms of content and what we are shown. We are treated to scene after repetitive scene of the undead raiding kitchens and eating with their hands like Ethiopian children getting ready to expire. I never realized how stomach-turning that could be to watch until seeing Strigoi.
Scenes of eating, of incessant smoking, of monotonously talking about village history that involves communism and land disputes, and in a town where we only have one law enforcement officer who is accountable to no one (apparently), leaves us unsurprised when the movie itself deserts us with plenty of unanswered questions at its end.
It would almost be better to get something traditional – with, heaven forbid, shirts off and wolf boys? – because if we had that back, we'd at least be entertained (well, somewhat entertained). This is a jaded, spacey, and unattractive void, an attempt to add hit-or-miss comedy to what could have been ferociously scary and in settings with dauntingly old churches in a village where you'd expect to find a myth like Dracula come to life.
What we are given does not quite do its material justice, nor is it particularly brilliant, and for sure, it's not the future of vampire movies (though I have no doubt that some of these ideas will be stolen and expanded upon in upcoming vampire works by hack directors). But Jackson knows exactly what he wanted and gave it to us as he saw it. It feels like a demented version of Fiddler on the Roof, but way, way more depressing, one where you're left being glad that there are other places to escape to.

So, which model of step lift should you choose? To provide a speedy overview - stair lift up models generally fall into two broad categories, straight and curved. Straight models are manufactured for stairs with no bends or half-landings. They are usually much easier to install and cost less than curved variants. If your stairs has bends, corners or half-landings, you'll need a curved stairlift. Your stairlift rails will need to be custom-built to ensure a good fit to your stairs. This amount of customization means that curved units are more expensive to purchase. Reconditioned designs can be a cheaper alternative to latest stair lifts but may not contain all the features of the brand new versions. Re-conditioned models happen to be fully refurbished used lifts up your and as a result may not be as feature-packed as totally new models. Only ask the manufacturer for a complete feature list.
