Ever play Half Nelson or Ladybird and wonder where those chords at the end come from? Let's take a look.
We start with the standard diatonic turnaround: C Am Dm G7. This is I vi ii V for those of you who like to think of it this way. The first substitution is to make the turnaround chords dominant, because a dominant chord has more momentum than a minor 7 chord: C A7 D7 G7. The next step is to play tritone subs for all the chord: C Eb7 Ab7 Db7, and voila! You have the Half Nelson turnaround. This substitution will sound great even if you play it over the standard turnaround, and any piano or guitar player with experience will be able to catch it the second time around. Especially if you use some kind of melodic sequence like: 1 2 3 5 of the chords, or an arpeggio. Sometimes I'll also walk this underneath a solo to try to push some tension or to try to push a soloist in a direction.

Unafraid of ruffling a few feathers and challenging accepted orthodoxies, Chris is making an increasing name for himself through his irreverent wit and using his Patagonian-style asado barbecue to cook succulent Welsh Lamb that's accompanied by his own sauces and seasoning. Chris was inspired by his late father, Colin, who sparked his interest in South American cooking methods after teaching him how to use an iron cross asado barbecue to cook meat, just as he had learned to do while spending time with Welsh-speaking gauchos on the Patagonian plains. According to Chris, "Cooking is what I love to do and when you have such a great ingredient as Welsh Lamb, nothing can beat it. I am honoured to be recognised as a Lambassador and I am looking forward to showcasing Welsh Lamb." With the summer season upon us Chris believes that people should be increasingly thinking of using Welsh Lamb when enjoying a barbecue, "You don't get much better than Welsh Lamb as its flavour reflects the special herbs, plants and flowers they eat on the hills of Wales."

Stateside: A City'S Demise Sparks Another New Low From The Oval Office
Elijah Cummings has been harshly responding to the President's often racist-sounding comments for several weeks.
As of Thursday, August 8, 2019
With CHARLIE HARPER
Baltimore, the largest city in Maryland and the epicentre of its political life, has seen better days. Now 290 years old, the city was still America's second largest - after only New York - as recently as 1850.
Baltimore would become home to hall of fame authors Edgar Allen Poe, Frederick Douglass, WEB DuBois, F Scott Fitzgerald, Dashiell Hammett, H L Mencken and Tom Clancy. Music legends Billie Holiday, Frank Zappa and Tupac Shakur called it home. And baseball home run king Babe Ruth, Supreme Court trailblazer Thurgood Marshall, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and famed surgeon (and current Housing Secretary) Ben Carson also started out in Baltimore.
One-third of the city's buildings have been granted a historic designation – the most for any US city.
But there has also long been a dispiriting side to this famous city. The mayor signed the first formal American urban segregation order there in 1910. Since 1950, each 10-year census has revealed a diminished population. The white population dwindled from 81 percent in 1940 to 30 percent in 2010. The black population in the city rose during the same period from 19 percent to 64 percent. Poverty levels increased and manufacturing jobs faded.
Four years ago, Baltimore's homicide rate was 19 times as great as New York's. And 93 percent of the victims of those homicides were black. In recent years, Baltimore has threatened or replaced Detroit or St Louis as America's murder capital.
It gets worse. In 2017, Baltimore's homicide rate was 56 per 100,000 population. This was a higher murder rate than in El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras, three nations often cited for their high homicide rates amid ongoing civil war situations, rampant gang violence and corrupt, unrepresentative and repressive governments.
So when US President Donald Trump last weekend went on the offensive against Baltimore congressman and chair of the House Oversight and Reform committee, Elijah Cummings, it struck a nerve. Cummings is an imposing black figure whose West Baltimore district includes many desperately dilapidated neighbourhoods and yet also features slightly higher than average overall annual income levels among his constituents. Cummings has been harshly responding to the President's often racist-sounding comments for several weeks.
Trump fired back by in turn by calling Cummings a racist who should be spending his time fixing the myriad poverty-related issues in his "putrid, rat-infested home district".
Meanwhile, as Congress departed for a lengthy summer recess and horrific mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso shocked the nation, Democrats and pundits of both parties began to bring fully out into the open the term "white nationalists".
Trump's inability to avoid being tarred with a white nationalist brush, like so many of his difficulties, was largely self-inflicted. It dates to his sympathetic comments in the wake of a woman's death during a neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville in August 2017. Now the spectre of white nationalism is a primary attack weapon for his opponents, even as the president unapologetically panders to right-wing, largely white supporters.
The widely-respected, venerable Baltimore Sun newspaper has been a main news source throughout much of the city's history and is known for its judicious opinions. But Trump's attack on Cummings, and by extension his city, prompted the following editorial outburst:
"We would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women's private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are 'good people' among murderous neo-Nazis, that he's still not fooling most Americans into believing he's even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighbourhood than to be one."
The Sun was clearly outraged. In a region and nation now so inured to insensitive, outlandish statements by its elected leader, it's hard to know if the newspaper's strong editorial will actually have any effect. One thing is for certain, though: Baltimore's misery will continue.
The Mets traded for pitcher Marcus Stroman from Toronto.
Baseball trades in sporting doldrums
We are in the midst of summer doldrums in the major American sports. NFL training camps are now all in full swing and team rosters are bursting with nearly 100 players each. Almost half of them will not ever play a down in a real pro football game, dismissed from the roster by the time the first real games are played a month from now.
College football games are also weeks away. And though there are always a few truly interesting early matches to whet the appetite, most of the traditional powers play a fairly easy bunch of early games to warm up for their challenging league schedules.
All the headlines have already been written about the NBA and its increasingly powerful megastars and agents. They're all on exotic holidays, promoting films or shoes, or simply counting their riches.
Hockey is in its annual summer hibernation, the NHL's annual draft having passed without much impact except in certain hockey-crazed locales such as Buffalo and the major Canadian cities.
What sports fans have for now is baseball. This season, MLB cancelled its traditional August 31 trading deadline, requiring teams to essentially decide by the end of July if their playoff chances were sufficiently enticing to trade for extra hitting, pitching or defence. There would be no more acquiring players for the last third of baseball's 162-game season.
This rule change has produced some interesting, almost counterintuitive results.
Take baseball's three richest teams. None of the Dodgers, Yankees or Red Sox made a significant move, although they were at the centre of much of the pre-deadline buzz. The Dodgers and Yankees are running away with their respective divisions, so their inactivity made some sense. The Red Sox, so successful this century after their famous futility for almost the entire last one, haven't shown the punch or spark that led them to last season's World Series championship. Maybe Boston has simply run up the white flag for this year, but the team is still loaded with talent.
The Mets were also surprising, for a completely different reason. Totally written off a month ago amid team and management strife, the New Yorkers traded for a good starting pitcher, Marcus Stroman from Toronto, and gave away no one who will matter this season. Experts and observers were puzzled. But the Mets are on a terrific run now, having won 12 of their last 13 games, and are starting to talk about chasing down the Phillies and/or Nationals for a playoff berth.
The Houston Astros pushed all their chips to the middle of the table, trading several top prospects to Arizona for Zach Greinke, a very well-paid starting pitcher who gives Houston the best starting trio of pitchers in the game. Together with Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole, both of whom also arrived via trades, the Astros match up favourably on the mound with any playoff opponent they will face.
American League pretenders Tampa Bay, Oakland and Minnesota made moves, but they aren't getting to the World Series. Neither will the Cleveland Indians, though they dared to be great by swapping durable, talented but eccentric pitcher Trevor Bauer to Cincinnati for hitting punch and pitching depth from the Reds and San Diego.
The Atlanta Braves got strong relief pitching help from Detroit in Shane Greene and probably strengthened themselves the most of any team in the National League.
There's still a lot of baseball left, but football is looming ever larger on the sports horizon. In September, action on the gridiron will return to the centre of almost every sports conversation. The doldrums will be long gone.

A: If you're willing to use jQuery please see this Fiddle https://fiddle.jshell.net/9mvmpp55/
You can use images instead of anchors.
Consider using vector based icons e.g. http://fontello.com
HTML
Increase
Decrease

<input type="text" name="quantity" id="quantity">

Javascript
$(document).on('click', '.set-quantity', function(){
    var current_value = $('#quantity').val() > 0 ? $('#quantity').val() : 0

    if($(this).hasClass('increase')){
      var new_value = ++current_value
    }

    if($(this).hasClass('decrease')){
      var new_value = current_value == 0 ? 0 : --current_value
    }

    console.log(new_value)
    $('#quantity').val(new_value)
    return false;
})

A: use anchor tag and image (arrow icon) inside anchor tag, so it will work like clickable image. And call your javascript function in href attribute of anchor tag

A state of emergency has been declared in five of Ecuador's provinces as indigenous groups continue protests against free trade talks with the US.
Peasants have been blocking roads in highland areas since last week in an action which has cost millions of dollars in lost trade.
Protesters fear the trade deal to be negotiated in Washington this week will damage their way of life.
The state of emergency bans public meetings and imposes a curfew.
It was declared by President Alfredo Palacio in the highland provinces of Cotopaxi, Canar, Chimborazo and Imbabura, as well as parts of Pichincha, where the capital Quito is located.
"The president took this decision after exhausting all other options for dialogue," said Interior Minister Felipe Vega.
A final round of talks about the free trade deal is scheduled to begin in Washington on 23 March, with a deal expected to be concluded in early April.
Ecuador's neighbours Colombia and Peru have already signed deals with the US.

Q&A with David Shong: Views on CUI & Hydrophobic Insulation
/2/2211/corrosion-prevention/inhibitors/qa-with-david-shong-views-on-cui-hydrophobic-insulation
Corrosionpedia Staff | Published: September 14, 2015 | Updated: September 18, 2015
Source: Johns Manville
Takeaway: There are types of insulation available that have active corrosion inhibitors that activate when water is present—thus water absorption does not contribute to CUI when those insulations are used.
We recently spoke at length with David Shong about insulation, hydrophobicity and the causes of corrosion under insulation (CUI). The views presented here are those of a manufacturer who makes several types of insulation materials, including mineral wool, calcium silicate, expanded perlite and a thin blanket insulation similar to aerogel blanket.
Please tell us a bit about yourself, and how long you've been in the insulation business.
My name is David Shong and I work for Johns Manville Industrial Insulation Group. We focus on mid to high temperature insulation. I've been with the company for almost two years now, and in the insulation business for 22 years. I work primarily on the technical side, with engineers, owners, facility maintenance people and mechanical insulation contractors, helping them understand the benefits of various types of insulation materials.
How did Johns Manville get its start, and how long has it been in the insulation business?
The company started in 1858 prior to the Civil War in New York City. It got into the insulation business early on and was very strong throughout the 20th century. In 2001, Johns Manville was purchased by Warren Buffet's company Berkshire Hathaway. The Industrial Insulation Group (IIG) started as a joint venture between Johns Manville and a company called Calcilite. In 2012, Johns Manville purchased the remaining shares of the joint venture, and IIG became the wholly owned subsidiary of Johns Manville.
Join thousands receiving the latest developments in corrosion technology industry.
So your focus on mid to high temperature service includes the CUI temperature range?
Yes it does. The corrosion under insulation (CUI) range is generally considered to be 25°F to 350°F (-4°C to 180°C) for stainless steel, and up to 300°F (150°C) for mild steel. (Background reading: An Introduction to the Root Causes of CUI with Monica Chauviere.)
Does CUI occur in high temperature service as well?
In continuous operating, the rate of corrosion is not accelerated above 300°F. However, high temperature equipment and pipe can operate cyclically, dropping to 300°F and below. They shut down for maintenance, or cycle down as part of their process, and that's when high-temp equipment can be subjected to the CUI range.
If water is present on the steel in the high temperature range, does the water evaporate off?
Yes. Generally 300°F is considered the top of the CUI danger zone because that is where H2O ceases to be able to exist in liquid form. In order for CUI to occur there has to be liquid water, not water vapor.
JM sells the full spectrum of insulation materials. Are some types of insulation materials better for high temperature service, and others for the CUI range?
Yes. There are a lot of different types of insulation on the market and Johns Manville Industrial is quite different in terms of our strategy when it comes to the materials. We're fairly agnostic about which material should be used because we make so many different types.
While most manufacturers focus on making one type of material, we make a lot of different materials because we firmly believe there is no such thing as one material that is good for every application. We want to be able to match up the physical properties of the materials with the operating and the abuse conditions on-site, and make specific recommendations based on the client's design considerations.
If you look at higher temperature ranges, there really is no such thing as an effective hydrophobic insulation above exposures to temperatures above 450°F over a period of time. There has been a lot of talk recently about aerogel and perlite, that they have excellent corrosion performance because they are hydrophobic. In my opinion, they certainly proved that they have a hydrophobic additive in their insulation. Expanded perlite has a proven history.
But in reality, the silicone-based emulsions that are used in order to create that bulk water shedding ability in aerogel are actually oxidized above 450°F over a period of time.
In those higher temperature ranges, the ability for any insulation to shed bulk water is really permanently reduced. You have to look at the chemical composition of each type of insulation and whether it either promotes corrosion, or has the ability to actually inhibit corrosion.
I have heard from other sources that aerogel blanket is not ideal for high temperature service, but in the CUI temperature range it is an excellent strategy because it is hydrophobic. It sounds like there are other issues in play with CUI in your view. What would you say are the causes of CUI?
One of the main contributors to CUI is the length and duration of contact of wet insulation on the steel. I would expand upon that and say that water in contact with steel doesn't necessarily induce corrosion.
Let's look on the inside of a pipe filled with water for example. Just because it is in constant contact with water doesn't mean the inside of the pipe will corrode. The reason it doesn't corrode is that for the past 80 years, it has been a common practice for water companies to add a 3% sodium silicate solution to the water. This creates a passivation layer on the inside surface of the pipe. Even though water is in direct contact with the metal, it does not cause corrosion.
I would expand on the statement to say that liquid water containing specific electrolytes, in contact with the metal, will contribute to corrosion. But if water is in contact with the outside of a pipe and there is an inhibitor in play, then corrosion may not physically be mechanized.
For corrosion to occur, there are five conditions that need to be met simultaneously, whether it be in continuous operation or in cyclical operation. You have to have these five things all present simultaneously for corrosion to occur:
Operating temperature between 100°F and 300°F (for mild steel)
Corrosive chemical compounds
Acidic pH (lower than 7)
Corrosive chemicals must be present, whether it is from the insulation itself or from the surrounding environment. And, one of the most important things is that the water that is absorbed into the insulation in that space between the jacketing and the steel has to have an acidic pH of lower than 7.
So, to address CUI, we have to try to address all these factors:
We can't really do anything about liquid water except to make sure the insulation jacketing is designed to keep most of the water out. We know through maintenance experience that there are many ways that water can get in, despite the best intentions.
Oxygen is in the atmosphere so we can't do anything about that.
The operating temperature is inherent to the given process.
What we can deal with are the corrosive chemical compounds that can be in the insulation.
We can also alter the pH of the water that will be absorbed into that insulation material.
When we talk about burning off the hydrophobe, it's important to recognize that CUI doesn't only occur in process equipment that operates at a maximum of 350°F. CUI can also occur on every type of equipment or piping that is brought down to the CUI temperature range for a given amount of time. And that occurs with almost everything during maintenance shutdowns.
So to create this paradigm that CUI only occurs on these pipes and this equipment operating in this temperature range is really an oversimplification of the issue. The problem expands to include the entire facility, meaning that anything operating above ambient will be in danger of CUI at some point.
Will any insulation that absorbs water contribute to CUI?
That depends entirely on the type of insulation. If it's an insulation that lacks corrosion inhibitors, like mineral wool, then it could certainly contribute to corrosion. However, there are types of insulation available that have active corrosion inhibitors that activate when water is present—thus water absorption does not contribute to CUI when those insulations are used.
One such insulation is expanded perlite. While there are many experts out there who would attribute the CUI performance of expanded perlite to the hydrophobicity of the insulation, it's actually a result of its chemical makeup. (For more on this topic, see The Detrimental Effects of Wet Insulation in the CUI Range.)
The fact is, we manufacture both mineral wool and perlite, and we know that both are treated to shed water. However, when these insulations have been used in Gulf Coast refineries, mineral wool has caused notable corrosion while perlite has caused little to no corrosion. Thus, if perlite's hydrophobicity was the determining factor in its CUI performance, then mineral wool would demonstrate similar effectiveness at preventing CUI. As evidenced by the corrosion in the Gulf Coast refineries, that's clearly not the case.
Since they both have the same chemical treatment that will make them shed bulk water, stating that one is absorbent and the other isn't is simply incorrect. Thus, we need to look at it from a different perspective; we need to ask why perlite was able to prevent CUI even after it absorbed water while mineral wool wasn't.
What a lot of people don't realize is that expanded perlite will absorb a huge amount of water—up to 30% by volume when just being subjected to heated conditions. So in the Gulf Coast, where you have high humidity, you will see a marked gain in moisture in expanded perlite. Water vapor passes through and condenses in the material. While in other insulations, the water absorbed by the material would be detrimental to its CUI performance, expanded perlite has corrosion inhibiting compounds that are activated in the presence of water. These compounds are ultimately why perlite is so successful at preventing CUI. (To learn more, read Expanded Perlite Insulation: Why Hydrophobicity is Only Part of the Solution to Prevent CUI.)
We call these corrosion inhibiting compounds the XOX package, and it is integral to all domestically produced expanded perlite and, since 2002, calcium silicate. That's really what the XOX message is. We have perlite that is considered non-absorbent in the lower temperature ranges, and we also have calcium silicate that is absorbent in all temperature ranges, and both have been proven to cause less corrosion than deionized water. This is because they both have the same chemical formula in the XOX package.
The idea that hydrophobic insulation is the ultimate answer is really not the case. When the insulation gets wet, that's when XOX activates. Water allows the corrosion inhibitors to move from the insulation to the surface of the metal to create a passivation layer, which will prevent the corrosion mechanism from occurring.

IntelBrief: The Comeback of Hate in Europe
The Comeback of Hate in Europe
• Germany is experiencing a renewed wave of virulent anti-Semitism and intimidation and violence directed toward immigrants, especially Muslims.
• Some German politicians have displayed admirable leadership to speak out strongly against anti-Semitism and calling for fellow Germans to 'stand against this with all our means.'
• This trend has not merely been relegated to Germany, as other European countries—including France and Belgium—have also experienced a sharp rise in anti-Semitic attacks and behavior.
• European leaders, at multiple echelons and levels of government, need to continue to speak out against the plague of anti-Semitism and demonstrate strong leadership on this issue.
Germany is experiencing a renewed wave of virulent anti-Semitism and intimidation and violence directed toward immigrants, especially Muslims. The influx of migrants from the Middle East and Africa has exacerbated underlying tensions in German society and reignited debates over immigration, tolerance, and the potentially destabilizing effects of changing demographics. In some cases, Germany's Jewish population has received threats from both the far-right in the country as well as newly arrived migrants from the Middle East. A Syrian refugee attacked a man for wearing a kipa, or skullcap worn by some practicing members of the Jewish faith, in Berlin in April 2018. Still, the majority of anti-Semitic attacks are linked to members of Germany's far-right, perpetrated by native Germans. Anti-Semitic crime, as well as hate crimes committed against foreigners, spiked in 2018.
In the eastern city of Chemnitz late last summer, protests included brazen displays of racism and ethnic intimidation perpetrated by neo-Nazis and their supporters. The primary offenses included hate speech, anti-Semitic graffiti, and displaying the swastika, which is banned in Germany. In addition to far-right extremists willing to engage in vandalism, harassment, and violence, there is also a groundswell of more 'legitimate' seeming actors. Supporters of the Identitarian movement in Germany, which has rebranded itself as 'the new right,' seeks to normalize far-right ideology and are doing so through a muted yet seemingly effective campaign that includes recruitment on university campuses. Members of a far-right youth movement named Generation Identity have a history of neo-Nazi affiliations. This movement receives backing from political parties in Germany, including the Alternative for Democracy (AfD). The AfD has been accused of soft-pedaling the Holocaust and failing to recognize the severity of the crimes committed by the Nazis and Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
Given that Germany's history includes Hitler, Fascism, and the Holocaust, resurgent anti-Semitism and a rise in hate crimes are even more complicated than in other countries. The painful legacy of the Holocaust makes frank and open discussions of anti-Semitism more precarious, while attitudes surrounding how serious of a threat anti-Semitism is varies by geography and demographics. Some German politicians have displayed admirable leadership, speaking out strongly against anti-Semitism and calling for fellow Germans to 'stand against this with all our means.' German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer offered an unequivocal appeal to 'bring the scale of this into people's consciousness,' according to an article in the New York Times. Still, much more needs to be done in publicly renouncing all forms of hate, including anti-Semitism, while dedicating resources to protecting vulnerable minority groups being targeted by hate crimes, intimidation, and violence.
This trend has not merely been relegated to Germany, as other European countries—including France—have also experienced a sharp rise in anti-Semitic attacks. The country was shocked when in March 2018, an 85-year-old grandmother and Holocaust survivor, Mireille Knoll, was murdered in her home. Two suspects were subsequently charged with an anti-Semitic hate crime. In February of this year, a Jewish cemetery in France had its headstones vandalized with swastikas, while in Belgium, a parade float featured a caricature of an Orthodox Jew sitting on bags of money. European leaders, at multiple echelons and levels of government, need to continue to speak out against the plague of anti-Semitism and demonstrate strong leadership on this issue. The rise of populism in many European Union countries has been accompanied by a renewed tribalism and promotion of identity politics, which propagates an 'us versus them' mentality in politics. This trend is having corrosive effects on societal cohesion, a worrying signal for the future of Europe.

Semyon Bychkov Conducts a Breathtaking Mahler
by Henry Schlinger | Apr 4, 2010 | Classical Music and Opera | 1 comment
Semyon Bychkov conducted an unforgettable Mahler's Fifth this weekend. / photo courtesy of LA Phil
On April 3, Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov led the LA Phil in the challenging and expansive five-movement Symphony No. 5 by Gustav Mahler, perhaps his best-known symphony after the First.
Mahler divided his Fifth Symphony into three sections with the first two movements comprising the first section, the extended Scherzo comprising the second section, and the fourth (Adagietto) and fifth (Rondo-Finale) movements comprising the third section.
Although Mahler's Fifth Symphony was not programmatic, a hint at a program is suggested by the markings of the two movements – Trauermarsch (Funeral March) and Stürmisch bewegt, mit größter Vehemenz (Moving stormily, with the greatest vehemence) – that make up the first section. The first movement begins with the signature solo trumpet, which then reappears throughout that movement as well as throughout the second movement; and it was played on Saturday night with resounding clarity and power by Associate Principal James Wilt. And as much as Mahler was said to have been influenced in this symphony by Bach, especially in the counterpoint used in the third and fifth movements, the influence of Beethoven is also apparent. For example, the triplet motif that Mahler used to signify the funeral march throughout the movement is the same one that Beethoven used in the second movement (Marcia funebre) of his Eroica Symphony.
Other standout performances on Saturday night included that of Principal Horn William Lane, whom Bychkov moved to the front of the string section for his solo during the Scherzo, as well as the entire trumpet, horn and trombone sections and the string section in the famous Adagietto.
Running at between 70 and 75 minutes without intermission, Mahler's Fifth Symphony was once thought to be too long to play in its entirety, and this might well be true with anything less than a great performance. However, it was certainly not true on Saturday night when Bychkov and the LA Phil treated the audience to a tour de force.
According to Wikipedia, the late conductor Herbert Von Karajan said of Mahler's Fifth: "You forget that time has passed. A great performance of the Fifth is a transforming experience. The fantastic finale almost forces you to hold your breath."
Whether Karajan actually said this or not, the statement certainly captures the performance on Saturday night by Bychkov and the LA Phil. Together they served up a great performance of the Fifth that was truly transforming such that at the conclusion, the entire audience spontaneously rose to their feet and loudly cheered in a rare display of unanimous approval.

Wow….wish I'd been there.


A few photos I snapped of my best friend, Liz, when we were in Sonoma last weekend! These roses were in the garden and the owners of our rental house left a few in the kitchen for us, so gorgeous.
Oh and how stunning is Liz?!

Kadampa Buddhism is a Mahayana Buddhist school founded by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha (AD 982-1054). His followers are known as 'Kadampas'. Ka refers to Buddha's teachings, and dam to Atisha's special Lamrim instructions known as 'the stages of the path to enlightenment'. Kadampas, then, are practitioners who regard Buddha's teachings as personal instructions and put them into practice by following the instructions of Lamrim. The Kadampa tradition was later promoted widely in Tibet by Je Tsongkhapa and his followers, who were known as the 'New Kadampas'.
By integrating their knowledge of all Buddha's teachings into their practice of Lamrim, and by integrating this into their everyday lives, Kadampa Buddhists are encouraged to use Buddha's teachings as practical methods for transforming daily activities into the path to enlightenment. The great Kadampa Teachers are famous not only for being great scholars but also for being spiritual practitioners of immense purity and sincerity.
The lineage of these teachings, both their oral transmission and blessings, was then passed from Teacher to disciple, spreading throughout much of Asia, and now to many countries throughout the western world. Buddha's teachings, which are known as 'Dharma', are likened to a wheel that moves from country to country in accordance with changing conditions and people's karmic inclinations. The external forms of presenting Buddhism may change as it meets with different cultures and societies, but its essential authenticity is ensured through the continuation of an unbroken lineage of realized practitioners.
Through the activities and dedication of the renowned Buddhist Master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Kadampa Buddhism has spread to many countries in recent years. Geshe Kelsang has worked tirelessly to spread Kadampa Buddhism throughout the world by giving extensive teachings, writing many books on Kadampa Buddhism, establishing the International Temples Project and founding the New Kadampa Tradition, the International Kadampa Buddhist Union.

4-(Dimethylamino)butyric acid (DMBA) labeling combined with gold nanoparticle amplification for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) determination of a biological substance (bovine serum albumin (BSA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) as models) was presented. After DMBA, an analogue of tripropylamine, was tagged on the (anti)analytes, an ECL signal related to the content of the analytes was generated when the analyte tagged with DMBA was in contact with tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium (Ru(bpy)(3)2+) solution and a potential was applied. To improve the adsorption capacity, a gold nanoparticle layer was first combined into the surface of the 2-mm-diameter gold electrode. For the determination of BSA, avidin was covalently conjugated to a self-assembled monolayer of 3-mercaptopropanoic acid on the gold nanoparticle layer. Biotinylated BSA-DMBA was then immobilized on the gold nanoparticle layer of the gold electrode via the avidin-biotin reaction. IgG was tested via a typical sandwich-type immobilization method. ECL signals were generated from the electrodes immobilized with BSA or IgG by immersing them in a 1 mmol L-1 Ru(bpy)(3)2+ solution and scanning from 0.5 to 1.3 V versus Ag/AgCl. With gold nanoparticle amplification, the ECL peak intensity was proportional to the concentration over the range 1-80 and 5-100 microg/mL for BSA and IgG consuming 50 microL of sample, respectively. A 10- and 6-fold sensitivity enhancement was obtained for BSA and IgG over their direct immobilization on an electrode using DMBA labeling. The relative standard deviations of five replicate determinations of 10 microg/mL BSA and 20 microg/mL IgG were 8.4 and 10.2%, respectively. High biocompatibility and low cost were the main advantages of the present DMBA labeling technique over the traditional Ru(bpy)(3)2+ labeling.


It's that time again… when I look back on the goals I made at the beginning of the month and see how well I did. Overall, I'm pretty pleased, especially since I had a lot of things pulling my attention away from my goals.
Last night, my Bard hit level 70 (pictured above)! That was an unexpected happenstance… mostly due to running the new Alliance Roulette which has really, really sped up the rate at which I can level a job in the 50-70 range. I've also been pretty dilligent about doing Beast Tribe dailies… I guess another job is going to have to pick that up next month!
I did level my Carpenter from 60 to 66 all in the space of one night. Mostly to help with building the FC's Shirogane Walls. I haven't really concentrated on leveling since then, but I really do need to get on the ball with my crafters.
Not much to say about Tai. I got him his Yo-Kai minions, ran him through the Halloween event, but didn't really level him or get much further in the MSQ. I'll have to try again next time.
I spent a lot of time and focus on Zemi this month. I'd forgotten how annoying the upper 40s were since the MSQ just drops you without a warning many times in the process. I was stuck at level 48 for a week or so, until Syn and Amoon ran a Leveling Roulette with me.
Last night, with a combination of MSQ, Leves, and one well-placed challenge log completion, I finally got Zemi to level 50 Ninja. I immediately skipped out and unlocked Samurai for him.
Syn and Amoon were nice enough to unsync a Castrum for me — we blew through it 3 man. While I haven't finished Praetorium just yet, it's the only thing blocking me from calling the MSQ a done deal. They might unsync run it tonight for me, so I went ahead and checked that goal off as done.
I'm not sure what I'll do with Zemi in the future — maybe just unlock Alliance Roulette up to World of Darkness to level him further. That seems to be the way to go. He's had a long, rocky history as a poor alt of mine, though. I'm glad he's finally found his job.
Yep, I've done all these things in GW2, on top of working through PoF a second time with another character. We've also started rebuilding our old GW2 guild, and have recruited a few new friends there!
I already have a lot of things in mind for November's goals. I might add a few Switch and Steam goals next month, as well.
Did you set any goals this month? If so, how'd you do?
Previous Post SWL: Happy Halloween!
My goals don't tend to be tied to time (as I never end up meeting them) but rather in terms of just achieving them.
So for me, I got my Shirogane little plot of land. It is still pretty much empty though and likely to stay that for a while as I am cheap and will try to craft everything myself. At least it allowed me to get some inventory space back as I can store my furniture there.
I got my Red Mage to level 60, might even get him to 70 tonight (he is level 69 and at about 50% XP). Astrologian is also sitting at level 50 except for the Jewelry got all his Augmented Ironworks gear. So that will be the next to level to 70.
Crafting is still going slowly but I did have been slacking with the Ixal quests. I did get 3 crafting Jobs to 50 though which does make some of the hardest Ixal quests doable at least. I should be getting Leatherworker with another round of Ixal quests too.
I do like how you set yourself targets for a month. I would do the same if I thought for a second I would ever stick to them!
I'm lazy! I need goals or I would just wander around and do nothing all the time. Or try to work on too many things at once. It's really a guide to help me pick something to focus on.
I suppose having the blog as a deadline helps in that regard.
It does help, but I'm also gentle on myself if I don't complete my goals! Just try again next time. Gaming should be fun, and goals are just there to keep me from getting overwhelmed by the massive amount of options all the different games I play offer.


I have started this personal blog to share anything I want. My first post was all about my blogging journey and the second post was about how to start blogging step by step.
Now after a long time I want to write about my life, about my wife, about my love. You might think that I am kidding after knowing the fact that I found my love on Facebook.
Yes, one status update from me, one comment from her and friendship got started in no time. We started talking on Facebook and then messaging on phone and finally started talking over phone.
My Status Udpate >> Her Comment on that update >> Started Talking in FB messages >> Started Talking over Phone >> Love >> Marriage.
We started talking from 6th June 2013 and don't know when the sweet friendship turned into Love. The amazing thing is she was in my friend list since 2012 but the first talk was happened in June 2013 when she commented on my status.
The best thing between us is we have so many things in common. Thoughts, habits, and everything seem to be similar, there are always few dissimilarities but overall we are the perfect match. You can say "Made for Each Other".
OooOps! I forgot to write her name, her name is Rekha who is now Rekha Ranjan. If you are in my Facebook friend list you might saw my statuses with "#Mirchi" hashtag written everywhere. That Mirchi is none other than Rekha, the love of my life and my better half.
I am very lucky to have her in my life. Life seems to be very beautiful and easy with her. Like every love story it was never easy to convince her parents but after trying many times finally we got success and they were convinced. Finally our family members fixed the date of our wedding which was 14th November 2013. This was the success story of this short & sweet love story which is now turned into a sweet relation of husband & wife. We are very happy and hope the love between us will be there forever and a bit more.
If I start to write each and everything of this sweet but short love story then I would end up writing thousands of words so I would like to stop writing and leave you with 2 of our photos.
Atish Ranjan is a full-time blogger and Internet Marketer who loves to live the online lifestyle.
There is No Better Place Than the Hometown. Mine is Sitamarhi!

It's quite unusual you find love on facebook but the thing is, she lived nearby and we met, and our love relationship got started.
Love is in the air till I finish. I wish it had more chapters. Atish, you can come up with a book that everyone like me is waiting to read ????
Forever and ever both of you ????

The Godfather – Paul Day Brings 40 years' Rugby Experience as the Tel Aviv Heat's Scrum Doctor
From left to right: Paul Day, Kevin Musikanth, Nimrod Kaplan and Amir Beautlar
Renowned scrum doctor Paul Day has joined the coaching staff of the Tel Aviv Heat, bringing a wealth of experience from his involvement with rugby since the early seventies.
Before entering the coaching ranks, Day excelled on the pitch as a top prop, first at world famous rugby school Bishops in Cape Town, then over 150 games for University of Cape Town (UCT IKEY TIGERS), and another 50-plus games for Villager, South Africa's second oldest rugby club. In between, Day played for SA Universities, the SA Navy, WP Defence Force, and Western Province B during the WP glory years.
After finally hanging up his boots, Day has emerged as one of the world's leading scrum coaches, developing unique insights and instructional approaches over the last 20 years, starting at UCT, where he still serves as scrum coach, before taking on similar roles at WP Currie Cup, Israel's National Team, Villager RFC, and numerous schools, including Bishops, Wynberg, St Johns and King David. Day has also been called upon as a consultant to the Springboks.
Day is one of the most experienced Varsity Cup coaches, having seen UCT's pack to six semi-finals and four appearances in the finals. Twice, UCT beat the odds to win the Varsity Cup title, including the famous comeback of 2014 where the IKEY TIGERS clawed back a 18 point deficit in the space of 7 minutes to beat PUKKE (University of Potchefstroom) in a game labelled as one of the greatest rugby comebacks of all time.
The Tel Aviv Heat is very fortunate to have the services of Paul for the upcoming season. Understanding that the strengths of the Georgian and Russian teams is certainly their scrumming abilities, Paul is a vital cog in the Tel Aviv Heat's rugby armoury.
Outside of rugby, Paul owns and manages a fertilizer business, and is married with three kids and four dogs.
Paul Day on being the Tel Aviv Heat Scrum Coach:
"I am looking forward to the challenge of the Super Cup. I like the Tel Aviv Heat rugby model – I think rugby is evolving and the philosophy of the club seems sound. I am relishing the challenge of constructing an efficient scrumming unit, from players from many different countries in a short time frame and seeing how they perform in unfamiliar conditions. Most front rowers will tell you that they are experts up front, I have realized that despite many years in the scrumming game, you still learn with every scrum. I am thrilled to be involved in such an exciting venture…"
Kevin Musikanth on Paul Day:
"I am going into my 9th year of involvement with The Godfather. Paulie is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best scrum coaches globally. He absolutely lives for the scrum. Most of the teams he has been involved in have been successful and have started out with packs that were under dogs, ending with packs that not only hold their own but in many instances are dominant. The Tel Aviv Heat will be the 7th team that Paul and I will coach as a partnership. We have done many matches together and have forged a tight coaching partnership and friendship over the years. The Journey of Rugby does this. I have no doubt that Paul will be a standout coach in the Super Cup..."

Truce may include multinat'l Arab force
Israel not opposed, since it could lead to Arabs being responsible for Gaza, Fatah regaining control.
By HERB KEINON, YAAKOV KATZ
Soldier walks on tank
The deployment of a multinational Arab force in Gaza as a final stage of the truce that was set to begin Thursday morning is being discussed at the highest levels of government, The Jerusalem Post has learned. According to a senior defense official involved in the cease-fire talks, Egypt raised the request for the deployment of the Arab force during meetings between Amos Gilad, head of the Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau, and Egyptian Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman. Israel, the defense official said, was not completely opposed to the idea since it would ultimately bring Arab countries such as Egypt to "take responsibility" for events in Gaza. The deployment was also raised as a way for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah party to regain control of the Gaza Strip. The official said that while Israel was therefore in favor of the initiative, the defense establishment was skeptical that it would succeed in light of Hamas's public opposition as well as the operational challenges it would pose for the IDF. One such challenge would be concerns over accidentally harming soldiers of the multinational force while pursuing terrorists inside the Gaza Strip. "Egypt would like to see Arab troops on the ground," the senior defense official said. "It is unlikely, however, that it will happen considering Hamas's opposition." The introduction of foreign Arab forces would only come in the last phase of the multi-stage truce that Egypt brokered between Israel and Hamas. After all these stages (see box) are implemented, the idea of an Arab force inside the Gaza Strip would be considered more seriously. At present it is still a "vague idea" that all officials involved realize "is not going to happen tomorrow," and that would depend on Israeli approval. One government source said few people really expected that the cease-fire would last that long, or would run through all the relevant stages necessary to even begin discussions about the introduction of foreign Arab forces into the Gaza Strip. In addition to putting an end to rocket, mortar and terrorist attacks from the Gaza Strip, the cease-fire is supposed to bring an end to the arms smuggling from Egypt that is fueling Hamas's military buildup. Egyptian sources said they had recently received tunnel-detection devices from the US that would help them battle the smuggling, and that Egyptian personnel were receiving military instruction in California to help them to battle the smugglers. Israel continues to reject Cairo's request to be allowed to exceed limits set in the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and raise the number of its troops along the Philadelphi Corridor from 750 to 3,000. While the Egyptians say they need more men to do a better job stopping the smuggling, Israel says Cairo is not using the manpower at its disposal effectively. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, meanwhile, sounded anything but euphoric about the truce in a speech to a conference on philanthropy at Beit Yehoshua Wednesday evening. "We have no illusions," Olmert said. "What is called 'calm' is fragile and could be short-lived. Hamas has not changed its skin. These are bloodthirsty and despicable terrorists who even today are doing all they can to harm Israeli civilians." "I want it to be clear that Hamas is the address in Gaza, and it will be responsible for any violation of the 'quiet.' If the firing and terrorist attacks continue, Israel will obligated to act to stop the threat to its citizens." Regarding captive Cpl. Gilad Schalit, whose picture Olmert said was in his office and whose eyes he looked into each day, the prime minister said his release "is an integral part of the understandings" regarding the cease-fire. As the hours ticked down Wednesday to the cease-fire, Kassam rockets continued to pound the western Negev, and Hamas seemed determined to get in "last licks." Close to 30 Kassam rockets struck the area, with one scoring a direct hit on a home in Sderot. Several people were treated for shock. The IDF fired missiles at Kassam rocket launchers in northern Gaza. Senior military sources said the IDF was prepared to launch a military operation in the Gaza Strip with 24-hour's notice if the truce fell apart. It was not clear, however, what would constitute a breakdown of the cease-fire, with one official saying Israel would have a tough time responding to occasional and sporadic rocket fire. But Foreign Ministry spokesman Aryeh Mekel said Israel had made a decision to exhaust all efforts to reach a cease-fire, "and if that does not succeed Israel will be prepared with other things." Senior IDF officers said that under the new orders prepared by the IDF Operations Directorate, soldiers would be deployed along the Gaza border but would not engage terrorists except in self-defense. The IDF has yet to finalize the rules of engagement for the cease-fire but senior officers said that the military would not tolerate mortar and rocket attacks against Israel. One complicated scenario for the IDF is what to do if two Palestinians, for example, are spotted setting up a Kassam launcher - to shoot the cell before they fire or after. "We will learn as we go along," a top officer said. "Soldiers will be allowed to use force in self defense but we will need to think before pulling the trigger."

WASHINGTON Congressional inaction on nominees to the U.S. Postal Service's Board of Governors has left the agency under the control of a Temporary Emergency Committee (TEC) for more than a year, a troubling precedent that could have wide-ranging impacts across the federal government, according to a new study from the R Street Institute.
Federal statute dictates that the Postal Service board needs a quorum of six members to exercise its authority. But the U.S. Senate has refused to act on any of five nominations submitted by President Barack Obama to fill members' expiring terms, leaving the board with just one governor serving alongside the postmaster general (PMG) and deputy postmaster general (DPMG).

The company released a redesigned version of its main app. The new app, which was first previewed in October, makes the app look more like Facebook and other social media apps.
Like Facebook, LinkedIn's new app is centered around a central feed, which shows you updates from people in your network and content they are sharing on LinkedIn. Similar to Facebook's News Feed, the app filters which updates you'll see based on what you're most likely to be interested in — and the company says the feature will get better over time as you use the app more.
The home feed is structured a lot like LinkedIn's recently-revamped Pulse app so you may also see posts from people in your extended network and articles that are popular among people with similar jobs.
"The core for the mobile product, the spine of the app, has always been this feed," Jonathan Redfern, LinkedIn's VP of Product. "We've moved from a feed that was a lot about your connections to a feed that's more about the professional topics and interests you choose to follow."
Outside of the feed, there's a "My Network" section, which serves up suggested people you may know, as well as cards with bite-sized updates about your connected friends, such as work anniversaries and new jobs. If that sounds familiar, that's because it's similar to LinkedIn's Connected app, which revolves around updates like these.
"The app is absolutely flavored with learnings and code from our different apps," Redfern says, noting the parallels between both Pulse and Connected.
Home: the news and info that matter to your professional day. Your home feed is now in your control - see only the shares and posts that you want.
Messaging: email is out, messaging is in. All the same functionality for conversations in a lighter-weight interface. And stickers!
My Network: a daily briefing on what's happening in your network. Includes network updates, your connection list, connection invitations and people-you-may-know suggestions.
