Kanchelskis: Let's Stuff Chelsea Again
Andrei Kanchelskis was a top quality United player, bombing down the wing long before the days of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. With the cuff of his shirt in his hand, he provided goals for the likes of Eric Cantona and Mark Hughes. He was also capable of scoring the odd goal or two for himself, bagging a superb one against Oldham in the FA Cup.
Kanchelskis visited our players yesterday ahead of the Cup final this evening to wish them luck. He has fond memories of the glory days at United, remembering keenly the 1994 double-winning side that beat Chelsea 4-0 in the FA Cup at Wembley.
Today, he has said he hopes for a repeat result for the reds tonight.
"I remember when I played in the FA Cup final in '94 we beat them 4-0 – I hope for the same result this time round!" Kanchelskis joked. "It was great to see all the players, particularly some of my old team-mates like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. I've also seen the boss and wished him all the best for Wednesday. I had four great years at Old Trafford. The players, the staff and the fans are something special. They are the still the team in my heart. It's a huge day for the club on Wednesday. There have already won one trophy and I'm confident they'll win a second."
Fancy a 4-0 tonight? 😀
Rooney: Attack, attack, attack!

Hopefully, but Id settle for a 3-0 :-D
Alex May 21, 2008
WE'RE CHAMPIONS!!!!

It was almost a 3:0 but for those (how did Tevez miss that for fuck's sake!) misses. Carrick, Tevez, Giggs? How many can't you put away with open goals before you?
Anyway, all's swell that ends swell. And what a sweet way to win it. The two oldest players sealed it with a cool finish and a save.
And lady luck twisted arms and wrung nerves before finally giving up on Chel$ki. Fecking luck-riding dags. They had it coming... :D
Uncle Roy May 22, 2008
Kanchelskis left us too soon for reasons onlt he can explain. He was a great player for us while he was at OT. Glad to hear he still holds us in affection.
Other than that, all I can say is.... YIPPPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!! We are champions of England and Europe!!! United, doing it the hard and true way, unlike others I shall not bother to mention. Hard luck on Chelsea, at least they fought us on both fronts to the bitter end, so happy we came out on top.
1958. 1968. 1999. 2008.
Well done everyone.

La psicopatía o personalidad psicopática es un trastorno de la personalidad.

Históricamente, se ha tratado de encuadrar el concepto de psicopatía a un conjunto de características psicológicas y de comportamiento arquetípicas, universales a todas las personas afectadas, y aún hoy en día se da el reduccionismo de considerar como psicopatía sólo a los casos en que se presenta, como elementos antonomásicos del concepto, la falta de afecto, remordimientos o empatía, sumado al uso malicioso de la seducción, manipulación y utilización de otras personas para sus propósitos personales, amén de signos secundarios como el narcisismo o la alta capacidad intelectual. No obstante, los estudios más recientes llevan a relativizar esta concepción estrecha, a fin de no confundir síntomas o signos de otras enfermedades o trastornos mentales, y de considerar también elementos ambientales que pudieran determinar una mayor o menor posibilidad de desarrollar caracteres psicopáticos.

A menudo, la psicopatía es confundida con la sociopatía, que también es un trastorno de personalidad. Sin embargo, se diferencian porque, a menudo, en la primera se atiende a factores internos, principalmente genéticos, mientras que en la segunda se identifica con factores externos, principalmente ambientales o sociales; también, en la menor capacidad de control de actos del sociópata, en comparación a la mayor destreza del psicópata.

Características generales del psicópata

A diferencia de la mayoría de trastornos psicológicos, no existe un comportamiento único definido en una persona a partir del cual se pueda distinguir de forma inequívoca a un psicópata. Pese a que en sentido legal puede ser útil o necesaria la existencia de una referencia exacta con la que decir si una persona es psicópata o no, no hay evidencia científica para decir quién es psicópata y quién no. En otras palabras, un psicópata está mejor definido como una persona que es «más o menos psicopática». Contrario a la cultura popular e incluso contrario a una parte importante de profesionales del sector (ver Exageración y mitificación popular), un estudio científico reveló en el año 2004 y luego respaldado por los resultados de otro estudio en el año 2006, que es poco aceptado pensar en las personas como "psicópata o no psicópata", así como pensar que dos psicópatas tienen el mismo tipo de psicopatía o características psicopáticas, el mismo comportamiento, etc. En este artículo se utiliza el término psicópata entendiendo el término según esta definición.

Hay varios comportamientos y características que son «relativamente comunes» entre los psicópatas. Las personas con trastorno psicopático, o psicópatas, suelen estar caracterizadas por tener un «marcado comportamiento antisocial, una empatía y unos  remordimientos reducidos, y un carácter más bien desinhibido». Este carácter psicopático puede hallarse en diferentes dimensiones de la personalidad, y en diferentes combinaciones en el conjunto de la población. La definición exacta de la psicopatía ha ido variando sustancialmente a lo largo de los años y sigue siendo una materia bajo investigación. Algunas definiciones que continúan siendo usadas en la actualidad son parcialmente complementarias y a veces hasta contradictorias.

Los psicópatas tienden a crear códigos propios de comportamiento, por lo cual solamente sienten culpa al infringir sus propios reglamentos y no los códigos sociales comunes. Sin embargo, estas personas sí tienen conocimiento de los usos sociales, por lo que su comportamiento es adaptativo y pasa inadvertido para la mayoría de las personas.

Exageración y mitificación popular

Debido a que se trata actualmente de una materia bajo investigación y que no se ha empezado a conocer mejor hasta que no se han realizado estudios serios (aproximadamente a partir del año 2000 en adelante), es un tipo de personalidad habitualmente mitificada y mal entendida en la sociedad. De este modo, a través de películas y de la prensa popular (en algunos casos incluso prensa especializada en psicología), se ha transmitido una imagen exagerada o directamente errónea.

Un mito muy extendido es que los psicópatas no pueden o no sienten emociones. Tal como se ha explicado en la definición científica de la psicopatía, no se puede considerar a todos los psicópatas por igual. Hay psicópatas que pueden sentir perfectamente el espectro normal de emociones humanas y hay otros que no. Gracias a la nueva tecnología IRMf, se han realizado recientemente estudios que revelan que los psicópatas que tienen déficits emocionales, los tienen en todas las emociones.

Las personas generalmente asocian el término psicópata con la violencia y viceversa. Sin embargo, la psicopatía existe tanto en el mundo criminal como en el mundo civilizado, y muchos psicópatas no tienen ningún historial de violencia. Esto no significa que no haya psicópatas con tendencia a la violencia, pero lo contrario (que todos los psicópatas sean violentos) es igualmente falso.

Características clínicas de la psicopatía

Para Hellman y Blackman (1966), uno de los signos característicos a edades tempranas de rasgos psicopáticos y/o antisociales, se podrían reducir a una tríada caracterizada por enuresis, maltrato animal, y piromanía. Sin embargo, en los manuales del DSM-IV, se ha puesto énfasis en que los rasgos antisociales pueden desvanecerse con la edad, en especial en aquellos sujetos con psicopatía. Con el tiempo han aparecido sistemas de clasificación más complejos basados en descripciones, estudios y tests de Robert Hare y de Hervey Cleckley. Independientemente de las características que cada uno de los dos anteriores menciona en sus estudios, hay un consenso general acerca de ciertas características evidentes y comunes en los psicópatas, como por ejemplo: Su falta total (o muy elevada) de empatía, culpa, o remordimiento. Su tendencia a "cosificar" a las personas u otros seres vivos que le rodean, y su continua violación de los derechos y normas sociales, ya sea respecto de un individuo o de la sociedad. Algunas de las características que suelen poseer las personalidades psicópatas son el victimismo y la manipulación.

Características según Cleckley

El trastorno psicopático produce una conducta anormalmente agresiva y gravemente irresponsable, que según el doctor Hervey Cleckley determinan una serie de características clínicas, descritas en su libro The Mask of Sanity: An Attempt to Clarify Some Issues About the So-Called Psychopathic Personality, donde se incluye que estas personalidades tienen:

 Encanto superficial e inteligencia.
 Ausencia de delirios u otros signos de pensamiento no racional.
 Ausencia de nerviosismo o manifestaciones psiconeuróticas.
 Escasa fiabilidad.
 Falsedad o falta de sinceridad.
 Falta de remordimiento y vergüenza.
 Conducta antisocial sin un motivo que la justifique.
 Juicio deficiente y dificultad para aprender de la experiencia.
 Egocentrismo patológico y carencia de empatía.
 Pobreza generalizada en las principales relaciones afectivas.
 Pérdida específica de intuición.
 Insensibilidad en las relaciones interpersonales generales.
 Conducta extravagante y desagradable bajo los efectos del alcohol y, a veces, sin él.
 Amenazas de suicidio raramente consumadas.
 Incapacidad para seguir cualquier plan de vida.

Características según Hare

Para el doctor Robert Hare, investigador sobre psicología criminal, los criterios que definen a la personalidad psicopática pueden evaluarse mediante una lista de veinte características denominadas Psychopathy Checklist (PCL). Estas descripciones tuvieron como base el trabajo de Cleckley para definir la psicopatía a través de una serie de síntomas interpersonales, afectivos, y conductuales. Los síntomas que exhiben los psicópatas son, según Hare:

 Gran capacidad verbal y un encanto superficial.
 Autoestima exagerada.
 Constante necesidad de obtener estímulos, y tendencia al aburrimiento.
 Tendencia a mentir de forma patológica.
 Comportamiento malicioso y manipulador.
 Carencia de culpa o de cualquier tipo de remordimiento.
 Afectividad frívola, con una respuesta emocional superficial.
 Carencia de empatía. Crueldad e insensibilidad.
 Estilo de vida parasitario.
 Falta de control sobre la conducta.
 Vida sexual promiscua.
 Historial de problemas de conducta desde la niñez.
 Falta de metas realistas a largo plazo.
 Actitud impulsiva.
 Comportamiento irresponsable.
 Incapacidad patológica para aceptar responsabilidad sobre sus propios actos.
 Historial de muchos matrimonios de corta duración.
 Tendencia hacia la delincuencia juvenil.
 Revocación de la libertad condicional.
 Versatilidad para la acción criminal.

Robert Hare estima que el 1 % de la población es psicópata. Otras estimaciones incluso llegarían al 6 %.

Según el Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (DSM-5), su prevalencia está entre el 0.2 % y el 3.3 %.

Posibles causas que dan origen a las personalidades psicópatas

No existe evidencia real sobre las posibles causas del trastorno de personalidad antisocial; sin embargo, se cree que factores genéticos y ambientales, como el maltrato infantil o el abuso infantil, contribuyen a su desarrollo. Las personas de padres antisociales o alcohólicos corren mayor riesgo. Las prisiones contribuyen en mucho a desarrollar esta afección en las personas.

Las personas que tienen por costumbre maltratar a los animales durante la infancia suelen estar ligadas al desarrollo de la personalidad antisocial.

También se cree que este trastorno en ocasiones puede tener su origen en daños cerebrales en el lóbulo frontal.

Tipos de relaciones que establecen los psicópatas

A pesar de que los psicópatas no conciben al resto como personas, sí establecen relaciones y vínculos, que suelen ser de tres tipos:

 Asociativos: cuando un psicópata entra en contacto con otro u otros para obtener un objetivo común (también se suele denominar alianza). Dado que los integrantes del vínculo son narcisistas y ególatras, el apego solamente está justificado por el utilitarismo de tener un propósito común.
 Tangenciales: cuando el psicópata encuentra una víctima ocasional en un encuentro puntual, donde utiliza sus tácticas coercitivas de forma temporal.
 Complementarios: determinan una relación de doble vía, que habitualmente ocurre con un neurótico (este suele ser manipulado por el psicópata en una mal denominada "simbiosis"), en este caso la persona psicópata suele aprovecharse de la situación en los neuróticos culpógenos, neuróticos víctimas los cuales tienen un duelo casi perenne ya que no pueden sustituir al objeto perdido, es decir que se sienten culpables de algo con deseos (siempre inconscientes) de autodestrucción sintomáticos, muchas veces en una depresión con sentimientos de culpa que es aprovechada por cualquier psicópata generador de culpa o psicópata culpógeno.

Psicopatía y seducción

La seducción es la base que permite el acto psicopático y se produce mediante una transferencia bidireccional donde la propuesta del psicópata encuentra eco en las apetencias del otro, dado que una característica fundamental de la personalidad psicopática es la habilidad para captar las necesidades del otro. Este mecanismo se articula cuando el psicópata convence al otro de que él le es infinitamente necesario para suplir necesidades irracionales que este no puede detallar.

En la seducción el psicópata necesita que el otro esté de acuerdo, para lo cual usa la persuasión y el encanto, por lo que es bidireccional; hay un consentimiento por parte de la otra persona, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en las relaciones tangenciales donde el psicópata actúa unidireccionalmente mediante la violencia, que constituye una agresión desde una posición de poder. Aquella bidireccionalidad podría ser debida a que la mayoría de psicópatas son conscientes de las consecuencias judiciales de sus actos.

Psicopatía en la historia

El tema de la psicopatía estuvo presente en la historia desde la antigüedad, aunque la conceptualización es más reciente, pero ya en Babilonia aparece la preocupación por las personalidades anormales, que se separan conductualmente del resto pero que no cabían en las categorías de cuerdo o loco.

Pinel (1745-1826) precisó en 1801 que se trataría de una forma de manía, sin déficit en las facultades cognitivas, pero con un grave daño en la capacidad afectiva, lo que constituye una de las características descriptivas del psicópata.

En 1835, James Cowles Prichard definió la "locura moral", una forma de perturbación mental en que no parece haber una lesión en el funcionamiento intelectual, y cuya patología se manifiesta en el ámbito de los sentimientos, el temperamento, o los hábitos.

Este psiquiatra inglés explica que en casos de esta naturaleza, los principios morales o activos de la mente están extrañamente pervertidos o dañados, no hay un poder de autogobierno, y el individuo es incapaz de conducirse con decencia y propiedad en los diferentes aspectos de la vida.

El psiquiatra polaco Andrzej M. Łobaczewski ha estudiado cómo los psicópatas influyen en el avance de la injusticia social, y sobre cómo se abren paso hacia el poder, cuya culminación política es lo que ha venido a denominar patocracia. Lobaczewski es el inventor de la ponerología, el estudio interdisciplinario de las causas de períodos de injusticia social, donde el psicópata es un factor clave.

Psicopatía y psicoanálisis

Según los principales exponentes de la teoría psicoanalítica, la persona psicópata lo es porque carece de superyó o, en todo caso, si poseyera un superyó, el superyó que habría internalizado en su más temprana infancia, es también psicopático o directamente sociópata. El psicoanálisis de cuño lacaniano parece llegar a sugerir que (si no siempre, muchas veces), una personalidad psicópata es un tipo de trastorno límite de la personalidad en la cual el sujeto psicópata puede estar fuera del clivaje de La Ley, aunque sus conductas actuadoras y manipuladoras pudieran ser parte de un sinthome.

Neurología y psicopatía

Actualmente se ha desarrollado un escáner que lee la zona del cerebro que contiene nuestras intenciones, antes de realizarlas, y se baraja la posibilidad de usarla en un futuro para descubrir nuevos casos de psicopatías. Este escáner o tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET en sus siglas en inglés), permite leer la actividad del cerebro ante determinados estímulos.

Los niños con rasgos psicópatas mostraron respuestas anormales dentro de la corteza prefrontal ventromedial (área de Brodmann) durante errores de retracción castigados, en comparación con niños con trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad y con los niños que no padecen ninguna de las anteriores (niños sin discapacidad). De acuerdo a nuestro conocimiento, este estudio proporciona la primera evidencia de la sensibilidad de la corteza prefrontal ventromedial anormal en niños con rasgos psicópatas, y demuestra que esta disfunción no es atribuible al trastorno de déficit de atención comorbido/hiperactividad. Estos resultados sugieren que los daños en el aprendizaje de retractación en pacientes con rasgos psicopáticos de desarrollo están relacionados con el procesamiento anormal de la información de refuerzo

Los psicópatas muestran menos actividad en áreas del cerebro relacionadas con la evaluación de las emociones vinculadas a las expresiones faciales, según señala el estudio  publicado en el British Journal of Psychiatry. En particular, son menos receptivos a los rostros que expresaban temor, que las personas que no sufren trastornos ni comportamientos anormales. Según los expertos, esto puede explicar –al menos parcialmente– la conducta psicópata.

Murphy, Michael Craig, y Marco Catani, del Instituto de Psiquiatría del King's College de Londres, encontraron en agosto de 2009 que los psicópatas tienen conexiones defectuosas entre la parte del cerebro que lidia con las emociones, y la que maneja los impulsos y la toma de decisiones.

Según el experto Hugo Marietán, un psicópata no debe considerarse un enfermo, sino un ser anormal con una estructura mental diferente a la norma del resto de la sociedad, e incapaz de adaptar su conducta.

Psicopatía y violencia doméstica
En el campo de la violencia doméstica, específicamente, es posible establecer una relación entre este tipo de violencia y la psicopatía, lo que influye directamente en las formas de tratamiento y reinserción social de los agresores, estén o no encarcelados.

En la década de 90, el psicólogo Robert D. Hare desarrolló una investigación utilizando un instrumento creado por él llamado Psycopathy Checklist (PCL-R), en el que lo aplicó a un grupo de hombres que participaban, voluntariamente o por orden judicial, en programas de tratamiento para agresores de esposas.

La creación de un método preciso era necesaria debido a la dificultad de identificación de los sujetos con psicopatía, considerando que se trata de un trastorno poco evidente en la mayoría de los casos, en los que los sujetos presentan conductas consideradas socialmente normales.

Al final de la investigación, los resultados mostraron que el 25% de los participantes eran psicópatas, lo que le hizo creer que el porcentaje era probablemente similar al de los demás agresores, que no estaban en tratamiento.

Tratamiento del psicópata
Son difíciles de tratar debido a su personalidad y a la gran capacidad de manipulación que poseen, además de que su motivación es escasa.
Las diferentes investigaciones han demostrado que el tratamiento es más eficaz cuando se trata de jóvenes que aún no han desarrollado de forma sólida la personalidad psicopática, especialmente si son psicópatas secundarios en vez de primarios.

Actualmente, existen programas de tratamiento de delincuentes juveniles con una puntuación alta en psicopatía que presentan resultados favorables.
El tratamiento farmacológico se centra en un síntoma concreto (litio si el sujeto es muy agresivo) y el único fin es que los sujetos sean más dóciles en la terapia, es decir, es algo temporal.

La terapia conductual demuestra que responden mejor al refuerzo positivo (especialmente si es monetario), que al negativo.

La terapia familiar e interpersonal se centra en las relaciones con los demás. Los estilos educativos con un uso excesivo del castigo pueden provocar síntomas predecesores de la psicopatía. López Romero, autor de esta teoría añade que la investigación se vea influenciada por la herencia de los padres y que el uso excesivo del castigo se puede deber a una necesidad de los padres de imponer su autoridad debido al comportamiento del hijo.

Tras analizar las diferentes investigaciones, se puede argumentar que se produce una mejora tras la intervención cuando:

 Los sujetos son menores de 30.
 La eficacia disminuye conforme aumenta la edad del sujeto.
 El tratamiento se prolonga en el tiempo.
 Los sujetos son delincuentes.
 La puntuación en psicopatía es baja.
 La aplicación se realizaba en contextos penitenciarios y residenciales.

Aun así, los estudios son escasos, por lo que las conclusiones no son claras.

HONG KONG, 31 May 2011 – Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) today announced the availability of public registration of full Chinese .香港 domain names. This means that all customers can now register a pair of English .hk and Chinese .香港domain names.
"Taking the positive response already received during the half-month soft launch period as an indication, public registration will bring substantial benefits in terms of registered trademark protection, online brand awareness and expansion to the Chinese-speaking market. This is truly a milestone for Hong Kong's Internet development," said Mr Jonathan Shea, CEO of HKIRC.
The introduction of .香港 empowers the use of easy-to-remember and easy-to-understand Chinese words as the domain names for websites. Netizens can type Chinese .香港 domain names in the Internet address bar directly for website browsing. Chinese-speaking Internet users can access the web much easier, hence opening up huge potential market opportunities. With support for both simplified and traditional Chinese characters, .香港substantively popularises the use of the Internet.
For business users who have well-established Chinese brand names, such as 白蘭氏.香港 (brandsworld.hk) and梁蘇記.公司.香港 (leungsokee.com.hk), it would be more convenient for users to search for their sites in Chinese than to remember the sometimes meaningless transliterated names based on Chinese pronunciation. Moreover, the Chinese language has a much larger pool of characters than English. Hence, more creative combinations are possible when you consider a domain name in Chinese rather than English. Duplication of names can be minimised at the same time.
The Chinese .香港 domain name is now open for public registration on a first-come, first-served basis. In keeping with the bilingual culture of Hong, registrations for a Chinese .香港 domain and an English .hk domain name of the same category will cost the price of one. This effectively halves the prices of .hk and .香港 domain names. Please refer to https://www.hkdnr.hk/content.jsp?id=137 for the pricing details or contact your service provider.
For details, please visit www.hkirc.hk.
Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) is a non-profit-distributing, non-statutory company limited by guarantee designated by the Government of the HKSAR to undertake the administration of Internet domain names under the .hk country code top level domain. HKIRC provides registration services for English domain names ending with .com.hk, .org.hk, .net.hk, .edu.hk, .gov.hk, .idv.hk, .hk and Chinese domain names ending with .公司.香港, .組織.香港, .網絡.香港, .教育.香港, .政府.香港, .個人.香港, .香港, and other domains to be introduced from time to time in Hong Kong.

I wrote these worship pieces for the Second Sunday of Lent (Year A). They draw on Genesis 12:1-4 and John 3:1-17.
You call us to a new land, a new birth. Yet our feet and our spirits hesitate.
Be for us the pillar of cloud by day, the pillar of fire by night.
Lead us into the new birth of water and the Spirit.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. . . . May the peace of Christ be with you.
This is a beautiful prayer of Confession and Pardon. Thanks for your spiritual guidance this week.

By Martin C. Libicki Reviewed by Julie Ryan PRISM Volume 7, No 2
Martin Libicki has been a prolific writer in the field of information warfare since the mid-1990s. In this newer work, published by the Naval Institute Press, he aggregates his thinking during the past several decades into a single book. Cyberspace in Peace and War draws from work performed at RAND, both solely and with colleagues, and from lecture interactions with his students at various universities, to present a streamlined and consolidated overview of activities within and enabled by information technologies.
Before getting to the substance of this review, it is necessary to point out that this is a difficult book to read. Cyberspace is, in a word, dense. A naïve reader will likely have to do some additional research to truly understand the discussions and an informed reader will have to overlook stylistic annoyances so as to avoid getting lost in interpretative musings. For example, on page 73, Libicki uses the phrase, "hortatory injunctions." On one hand, the reader must pause to admire the sheer audacity of that phrasing. After, of course, looking up the definition of "hortatory"—tending or aiming to exhort—the phrase appears to be contradictory. An injunction is an order that either restrains desired behavior or compels undesired behavior. An exhortory injunction is a strange beast to contemplate—a command to act that requires additional exhortation? A command to stop action that requires additional exhortation?
Similarly, novice and expert readers alike may take exception to some of the more definitive assertions. For example, Libicki states that, "Controlling the effects of cyberattack entails controlling cyberwarriors." While it can be argued that cyberwarriors should be encouraged to limit the foreseeable effects of activities taken against cyber assets or against key terrain features of cyberspace, the fact is that it is impossible to control the unintended effects, particularly those that cascade, that result from cyberattacks. At the rate at which physical elements, such as light switches, refrigerators, or cars, are being integrated into cyberspace, the problem is going to get worse before it even has the chance to get better. Beyond that, some readers may also take issue with some of the language choices. For example, on page 145 Libicki says that "Originally all cyberattack operations came under the command and control of CYBERCOM." The purist will balk at that assertion, asking the question, "What about the cyberattacks that were performed prior to the creation of CYBERCOM?" After all, CYBERCOM was created in 2009—well after the ubiquity of networked communications systems created the reality of cyberspace. But these issues are distractions from the true value of the text, which lies in its breadth of coverage of cyber activities and thoughtful treatment of sensitive topics, such as equities.
Where Cyberspace shines is in its thoughtful treatment of philosophical questions. For example, Libicki invokes a variety of thought exercises to explore the nuances of operating in cyberspace. These include the so-called Las Vegas Rules—what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—game theory, and effects versus means arguments. Exploring the arguments about what constitutes an attack, the functional equivalent of armed attacks, and rights of reprisal, he invokes customary law, norms, and influential publications such as the Tallinn Manual. Herein lies significant value. The reader need not agree with the conclusions to appreciate and benefit from the argument. Indeed, reasonable people do disagree on these issues, which are far from settled. Understanding the nuances of the arguments and the elements that underpin the perspective is a critical step to becoming an informed consumer.
A particularly useful part of Cyberspace is Libicki's treatment of deterrence. He explains concepts of deterrence, points of view from different players, and explores how deterrence might work out in different situations. The strategic focus of these discussions lays the groundwork for the reader to truly understand the interpretative reaction to actions taken in cyberspace, which then leads to the ability to make decisions about how different objectives might be achieved. His discussion is grounded in a discussion of law and the rule of law, which is far more important than a reader might imagine prior to indulging in this exploration.
Cyberspace is useful and can be a valuable resource. As noted by one reviewer, Robert Jervis, it is a "one-stop-shopping resource" covering the "range of issues, from the technical to the operational and political." The end notes are particularly useful for researchers, in that they point to contemporary sources as well as other publications that provide useful context and bibliographic grounding. At $55.00 for hard cover and $45.00 for a Kindle edition, Cyberspace is not inexpensive, but compared to other books, it is well worth the investment for the interested scholar. prism

Outputs the floating point number in W to analog output c.
W must be between 0 and 1, representing a fraction of full scale value. For example, if the analog output range is 0-10V, 0.5 in W will give 5V out (half scale). The actual analog output obtained is the closest approximation available given the resolution and accuracy of the analog output. The higher the resolution of the analog output, the closer the approximation will be.
This behaviour is closely analogous to the Fix instruction when used to convert a floating point value for use with AnOut.
This instruction breaks with our past practice of using letter designations for analog inputs and outputs. Instead we use numeric channel numbers. The correspondence between letter designation and channel number is simply that A=0, B=1, C=3 etc. The analog window in SPLat/PC from V7.18.0 shows both schemes.
It handles analog resolution greater than 8 bits. Because the old AnIn and Anout work through X, and X is an 8-bit register, they are limited to 8-bit I/O.
If you write your program using only floating point analog I/O, if and when you switch to a SPLat controller with higher analog resolution, your program will work exactly as before but return higher resolution results.
The instructions can be jndexed.
The channel number c will be jndexed when executed inside a MultiTrack task and will be indexed if the instruction is preceded by the IasJ: precode.
If you write your program using only floating point analog I/O, if and when you switch to a SPLat controller with higher analog resolution, your program will work exactly as before but return higher resolution results. However, this instruction cannot deliver more analog resolution than the board hardware is capable of. Please see the documentation for your particular board.

Description: The Southern Toadlet is a small species characterised by its short limbs, fingers and toes. Their body is dark green or brown with an orange patch on their hind legs and throat. They have a black-and-white pattern on their belly. There is also a prominent gland on each hind limb which is usually light brown or orange in colour.
Habitat: They occur in most habitats, including damp areas in sclerophyll (Eucalyptus) forests. In South Australia, the Southern Toadlet is restricted to the lower South East, occurring south along a line from Kingston to Naracoorte, continuing east through Victoria.
Call description: Their call is a harsh, short and slowly repeated grating 'cre-e-ek' from February through June.
Breeding behaviour: Southern Toadlets live in tunnels in the forest during their breeding season from March to May. Male toadlets guard the eggs masses laid by the females. They lay up to 200 eggs which are pigmented, loosely clumped and often coated in soil. Their tadpoles have a dark brown body and clear fins speckled with fine dark flecks.


Thomas Schmidinger is one of the very few Europeans to have visited the Canton of Afrin. In this book, he gives an account of the history and the present situation of the region. In a number of interviews, he also gives inhabitants of the region from a variety of ethnicities, religions, political orientations, and walks of life the opportunity to speak for themselves. As things stand now, the book might seem to be in danger of becoming an epitaph for the "Mountain of the Kurds," but as the author writes, "the battle for the Mountain of the Kurds is far from over yet."

Non-violence in times of war: Protest and resilience in Jeju, South Korea
By Carole Reckinger
Posted on April 16, 2013 by Carole Reckinger
In the midst of warmongering and a worsening of tensions between North and South Korea, a group of peace activists is continuing its non-violent struggle against the construction of a naval base on the island of Jeju, South Korea.
Tensions between North and South Korea are not new and the importance of building the base have been repeatedly put forward by the South Korean government as playing an important role in coastal defense. It claims the naval base must be completed and put into service as soon as possible in order to react quickly to any further military provocations by North Korea.
Since 2007, the small fishing village of Gangjeong has led a non-violent resistance against the construction of a naval base right next to a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Despite 94% of the villagers having opposed the base in a referendum, the government has not respected the wish of the people concerned and seems to be buckling under the pressure of corporate conglomerates and the weight of the United States' wish for an increased presence in the Pacific.
In November last year, I spent a month in Gangjeong village. Day after day, I observed the disproportionate police reaction to the non-violent blockade of the entrance to the construction site and. The most striking feature of the protest was the protesters' resilience. Young and old and from a multitude of social backgrounds, despite their bruised bodies, the odds stacked against them and the risk of high fines or imprisonment, they kept returning to the front of the gate to fight for what they believe is right. But since tensions have been rising with the North, police crackdown has become more severe and more protesters have been arrested.
'Professional troublemakers'
From the time the construction of the base was announced, activists, Catholic priests and nuns, Protestant pastors, law professors, teachers, artists, writers, families and students from all around South Korea have joined the villagers' protest. In order to hinder and delay construction, protesters file lawsuits and press for a reconsideration of the project nationwide, but also regularly block the entrance to the construction site with their bodies, chain themselves to anything available and go on hunger strikes. The fight against the naval base currently mobilizes more than 125 non-governmental organizations across South Korea and more than a hundred abroad [1].
The reasons for which activists from across South Korea and abroad oppose the base are manifold. They include calls for environmental protection, social justice, demilitarization and non-violence. Support for the anti-base movement at the national level is limited, one reason being that the mainstream media has not picked up the topic. When it has, it has portrayed the activists as troublemakers and has tried to discredit them. In times of heightened tensions with the North, calls for demilitarisation, peaceful resolution of conflict and the protest against military bases are heavily criticised, and the Gangjeong protesters are insulted as undermining the security of the state and being pro-North Korean agitators.
The protest demographics, however, invalidate accusations of professional trouble-making as the movement is composed of housewives, taxi drivers, teachers, farmers and students, from all ages and social backgrounds. Many activists in Gangjeong, are members of pro-disarmament and peace groups/networks, and clearly oppose a militarization of the 'Peace island.' When Jeju last hosted a military base in 1948, 30,000 people were killed, 40,000 houses burnt down and 90,000 people made homeless (with a population of 300,000 at the time), as the government sought to quell an uprising led by a small group of alleged communist insurgents.
Only in 2003 did the South Korean government apologize. President Roh Moo-Hyun called the massacre, which became known as the April 3rd incident, a "violation of human rights by the state." He declared Jeju the "Island of World Peace." But the official peace rhetoric was short lived. Only four years later, the same President finalized plans for the naval base on Jeju. "We do not understand why South Korea, with more than 100 military installations, still needs another military base," says the mayor of Gangjeong. "We are not convinced by the argument that this naval base will enhance the security of our country" [2].
The ROK Navy already operates seven naval bases in South Korea and the Republic of Korea Armed Forces is the sixth largest army in the world. [3] Since the end of the Korean War, South Korea has a joint military partnership with the United States through the US-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty. South Korea relies on its security partnership with the United States to protect itself from external threats, most notably North Korea.
A new tactic of discouragement
In the midst of the growing tension between North and South, demilitarisation and peace messages will not be given much space in the national discourse and the mainstream media. The risk is high that security arguments will be used to crack down on the peace workers and smother the years old struggle to an end.
During the long years of dictatorship, dissent and civil disobedience would have been met with bloody repression. Today, the government is not in a position to use such deadly violence on its people and uses other tactics. Since the start of the construction, around 700 arrests have been made with 500 indictments and 22 people imprisoned. However, following the presidential election of Park Geun-hye in December 2012, fines against the protesters have been soaring. The total amount of fines for anti-base protest has reached approximately US$450,000 in addition to damage compensation fees of approximately US$280,000. Between January and mid-February 2013 alone, around 100 people went on trial and were sentenced to combined total fines of US$90,000 [4]. This seems to be the government's newest tactic to discourage protesters from taking part in the protest. This is a much more discreet but just as effective method of repression.
It is clear that in the eyes of the government, the local community's livelihood and the natural and human resources on which it depends come second to geo-strategic and corporate economic interests. The current North-Korean military threats will further undermine the nonviolent protest against the militarization of Jeju and the government seems prepared to use all levels of state power to go ahead with the project, from massive executive reinforcement to legal and political measures. With all the media attention focused on the war rhetoric, the fight of the Gangjeong activists is at risk of being forgotten.

My newest cookbook is slightly different from the others for two reasons. 1. The difficulty level on this one is slightly more advanced. 2. This one is mainly about meats and the process of preserving them, plus there's no desserts whatsoever in this book, which if you know me, you know I love desserts and that makes me a little sad.
I have to point out the fact that this book is gorgeous. Even the front cover is stunning. Each page of this book is filled with yummy recipes and beautiful pictures.
If you're like me and you are an amateur in the kitchen, then this book is gonna be super advanced for you. Especially if your knowledge of slicing and preparing meats is almost non existent. Still, it's worth checking out because the recipes are so delicious, even if you managed to mess up a little bit with the meat, you're still gonna be coming out with a tasty concoction.
Also, Elias Cairo and Meredith Erickson (the authors of this book) guide you step by step with instructions to everything from meat making safety tips, charcuterie tools and equipment to how to scale using percentage charts and information about nitrate & nitrite. And of course we also get a little back story on who they are and how they started.
But enough about that. Let's get on with the recipes shall we?
This was hands down my favorite page out of the entire book. I love a good hot dog but these here are not just any old regular hot dog.
There are 19 different hot dog varieties to try and each one sounds and looks more delicious than the last.
This book is a meat lover's dream. The recipes as well as the photos look and sound mouth watering and there's plenty to enjoy in this cookbook/autobiography.
Interested in buying this book? Click here.
Again thank you for reading my review of my latest cookbook and leave me a comment below telling me your first impression of this cookbook.
This cookbook and review made me really hungry! Lol!
This looks like such a pretty cookbook!!!
As a vegetarian this doesn't really relate to me, but I am glad it's so good!
It is and the recipes are awesome!
The hot dogs were my favorite!! Has it arrived yet?


Accidental ingestion of methanol, a common ingredient in antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid, can cause blindness within two days. Researchers believe that formic acid, a product of methanol metabolism, robs a victim of sight by attacking the mitochondria of cells in the retina and optic nerve. Now the results of a rat study published online this week by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggest that shining red light on affected eyes may stave off methanol's blinding effects.
Janis T. Eells and her colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin exposed both control rats and animals that had ingested methanol to a red light-emitting diode (LED) in a process known as photobiomodulation. Just three brief irradiation treatments promoted the recovery of retinal function and prevented damage to photoreceptor cells in the poisoned animals, the team found. The light caused no damage to the eyes of the control rats. The results build on previous work indicating that light in the far-red to near-infrared spectral range can help wounds heal more quickly and stimulate growth in cultured cells.
Because mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to play a role in a variety of eye diseases, including macular degeneration and glaucoma, the scientists posit that photobiomodulation with red light could represent a novel therapy for these conditions. Diseases that attack the human retina are much more complex than the animal model used in the current study, however, so more research will be needed to determine if this approach can help more people see the light.
What causes macular degeneration in the eyes? Have there been any advances in curing this condition?

German Film Festival Film Review: 'The Silent Revolution'
Celebrates the universal spirit of rebellion
Berlin, 1956, and the wall is not yet built. People from the Soviet-controlled East can take a train to the Democratic West, but they need identification papers and a good, temporary reason for doing so. When the train guard looks over the papers of teenager Kurt (Tom Gramenz), he asks him what his business is in the West. Kurt says he's going to visit his grandfather's grave and he'll be back before nightfall—this is acceptable.
Kicking off the 2018 German Film Festival in Melbourne, The Silent Revolution (Das Schweigende Klassenzimmer), directed and scripted by Lars Kraume and based on the true account by Dietrich Garstka, might seem like a movie with little to offer non-German residents. It's a story an historical moment so close to the people of Berlin that its emotional resonance might not carry over. Instead, there's a spirit of rebellion and uprising in the film, a kind of youthful, vibrant dissatisfaction with authority, that ought to translate seamlessly to anyone who has felt that they ought to do something to shake up the status quo—even something small, like a moment of silence.
That moment occurs after a group of students listen to RIAS, a banned radio station at Kurt's uncle's place, who's an older hermit (Michael Gwisdek) with fire in his belly. They hear reports of the riots in Hamburg, where protestors are fighting off the influence of communism and the Soviets. A known football player is said to be killed, and the class agrees to hold a moment's silence in the next day, which lands them in a great deal of hot water.
There's a certain lightness of touch to Kraume's direction. Certain dramatic moments have a kind of breeziness to them, as if no one event is treated as the central point of conflict. As a result, there's a re-enactment quality to the film, sapping some of the gravitas of the situation. Having said this, the story is taken seriously, and it's a thrilling experience. Kraume may purposefully not be letting any single event take too much of the film's drama, because this is a story about historical significance captured a point in time. Each important detail is even-handed and clear.
The best thing about The Silent Revolution is the way this moment of silence infects the communist regime like a virus. What plays like a class prank is treated as an act of dissent. Seeing the way their authority figures treat a peaceful rebellion, the students become more incensed. Kurt's friendship with his best friend Theo (Leonard Scheicher), while Erik (Jonas Dassler), the son of a Soviet soldier, is tormented by his participation in the protest.
Germany has a film history rife with political importance and the presence of fascism. This year's German Film Festival is infused with that spirit, while screening exciting new films and older classics by great directors like Wim Wenders.

RANGOON — On the first day of operation, commuters remained optimistic about Rangoon's new public bus system despite overcrowded and delayed busses.
The new Yangon Bus Service (YBS) replaced the former capital's notorious old bus system—the Rangoon Motor Vehicles Supervisory Committee also known as Ma Hta Tha—with 69 bus lines.
The regional government announced last week that the new public transit would serve the city's commuters from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily with nearly 4,000 vehicles.
Long waits were observed at Rangoon bus stops Monday morning, however, with many blaming an insufficient number of buses traversing the routes on the first day of the new system.
Some busses scheduled to start today were not ready on time.
Many good-natured drivers of private vehicles could be seen picking up weary commuters as they waited for buses to arrive.
It was a good day for taxis, however, with reports of drivers charging above usual fares for frustrated commuters who gave up waiting.
Forty-nine-year old Ma Wah commuting from Tamwe Township to downtown said she was encouraged by the new public transit but said the buses should be more frequent.
"I have waited for 45 minutes at the bus stop since early this morning but didn't see a bus I could get," she said. "The only bus that arrived was packed full and I couldn't manage to get on board," she complained.
Ahlone Township resident Ma Aye Cho Thwe who was commuting to North Dagon on Monday morning told The Irrawaddy that the shift to the new system was "applauded" but there were many inconveniences on the first day.
"The starting and ending points of the bus routes changed, I had to walk further as buses don't go through the [downtown] roads they used to anymore," she said.
About 4,000 volunteers from different philanthropic and charity organizations led by regional lawmakers occupied some 2,000 bus stops across the city on Monday, distributing flyers that included bus route information and helping install the YBS mobile application.
The volunteers will be present until Friday assisting commuters with the shift to the new system.
Regional lawmaker Ko Nay Phone Latt of Thingangyun Township, who is on the supervisory team overseeing the volunteers, said as much as he was optimistic about the new system, he thinks the regional government should have thoroughly planned the new system so as not to inconvenience commuters.
"The major issue I observed was insufficient time preparing for the immediate shift as there were no regular buses going across the city, which resulted in overcrowding at the bus stops," he said.
The volunteers also surveyed commuters on the new public transit in order to report their feedback to the regional government. Bus fares range from 100-300 kyats, depending on distances of travel.
He said the volunteer groups will sit down for a meeting reviewing all the complaints received on Monday and will look for solutions.
The new public transit system managed by the Yangon Region Transport Authority (YRTA) will end the overlap of bus lines in a move to eliminate competition between buses.
The regional government hopes the new system will also relieve some of the traffic congestion in the hub of the city, limiting the bus lines to serve downtown.
According to the new system, buses previously operated under Ma Hta Tha had to register with the YRTA to be able to continue in the new system. Some 3,000 individually-owned buses have come on board, according to joint secretary U Than Win of the YRTA.
The buses operating under the new system have yet to install digital payment systems, which will only be implemented in the next three-month phase, Rangoon chief minister U Phyo Min Thein told the media at a press conference on Saturday.
U Phyo Min Thein said that after the city's commuters get used to the new system, the government will improve the condition of the vehicles, then the security of the buses, and the payment system. He hopes to finish the whole reform process by the end of 2017, allotting each area three months.
Once the payment system goes digital, the regional government will require individual bus owners to become part of the recently selected eight public-private partnership firms to facilitate the new system.
The eight companies include Bandoola Transportation Co. Ltd.—run by the military-owned Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd.—as well as other existing private bus line operators.
The Yangon Bus Public Co., Ltd. (YBPC)—the city's first bus rapid transit (BRT) system—is a public company launched in February last year. Its buses currently traverse three routes in the city and provide an electronic ticketing service.
According to the Japan International Cooperation Agency's 2014 survey on public transportation in Rangoon, 61 percent of Rangoon's population relies on public transportation and 49 percent of all commuters use the bus—approximately 2.6 million people.

The Toy of the Spirit
by Anthony Mannix
Puncher & Wattmann, $25 pb, 239 pp
Any definition of what constitutes 'outsider art', or art brut, is elusive. The boundaries of this 'category' are notoriously porous. There is no manifesto, no consistent medium, nor is it especially tied to any single period in time. However, it can be argued that outsider art is often regarded as art created by those on the margins of society, such as people in psychiatric hospitals, in prison, or the disabled. Outsider artists are also usually self-taught. For several decades, Anthony Mannix has been at the forefront of Australian outsider art, his particular qualification for the label being serious mental illness (though the term 'illness', as The Toy of the Spirit implores, is problematic). Mannix was diagnosed with schizophrenia in the mid-1980s, and spent periods as a patient in psychiatric hospitals over the next decade. Now based in the Blue Mountains, he has been free of schizophrenic episodes for many years.

Africa|Grand bridge for a drab Jerusalem neighborhood
Grand bridge for a drab Jerusalem neighborhood
By ISABEL KERSHNER APRIL 2, 2008
JERUSALEM — After a climb up the winding highway through pine-covered hills, arriving at this city, symbolic for so many, has always been something of an anticlimax. The main entrance, from the northwest, is often gridlocked and opens onto a messy urban vista of drab apartment buildings, office blocks and tourist hotels.
In the words of one Jerusalem architect, Arthur Spector, "It's one of the ugliest hellos to a city that I've ever seen."
Now the approach to the city - at least to the new, predominantly Jewish western part - is undergoing a transformation with the construction of a striking bridge by Santiago Calatrava, an architect, artist and engineer.
The main construction work is to be completed by May, when Israel celebrates the 60th anniversary of its founding. The bridge, the planners hope, will be an ultramodern gateway to this disputed capital, a fitting landmark for a 21st-century metropolis with an ancient core.
But like most things in Jerusalem, the Bridge of Strings, as it is known, has become an object of contention. Detractors complain, of all things, that it is in the wrong place.
The grand architecture certainly clashes with the surroundings. A white mast towers 40 stories above the traffic and grime, oddly angled, a finger pointing to the sky. From all sides 66 steel cables stretch down, like the strings of a harp. The cables hold up a bridge that sweeps across the broad intersection of Jaffa Road and Herzl Boulevard, rounding the 90-degree turn with a graceful slope and curve.
Fania Rosenstrum, a retired librarian, used to work at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Her seventh-floor apartment at 14 Herzl Boulevard looks directly onto the bridge, but she keeps her curtains drawn. She is one of a group of disgruntled neighbors who call the bridge a "monster" more suited to Chicago, and claim their property values have gone down.
Beyond the inconvenience of the construction, she and her neighbors worry about the light railroad that will one day run beneath their windows, and for which the bridge was built.
"Most Calatrava bridges are in open spaces or over rivers; then they really look beautiful," Rosenstrum said. "In the opinion of many, a Calatrava bridge is not something that should go up among residential buildings."
The reservations echo across Jerusalem, a generally conservative and architecturally modest city whose buildings are clad mostly in beige stone. After consulting with friends "who understand these things," Haim Gouri, a national poet and cultural figure who walks the alleyways of Old Jerusalem every morning, concluded that the bridge's aesthetic value was in the perspective, and that the crowded entrance to the city did not allow it the space. "It is expensive and it is completely lost; it is in the most inappropriate place," Gouri said.
There are plans for a piazza underneath, with hundreds of trees, and for developing the area around the bridge with high-rise buildings that would appear likely to obscure it even more.
As in Venice, where Calatrava designed a bridge over the Grand Canal, there has been endless grumbling about the cost, which has soared to around $70 million. The light railroad itself has been delayed for years and is now scheduled to start running in 2010. Others question whether, given Jerusalem's standing, the bridge is genuinely unique.
"The thing about Calatrava bridges is that every city seems to have one," Spector said, noting that many have a single vertical element and cables.
Calatrava said that he had built more than 40 bridges, and that the technical options were basically limited to arches, suspension cables or beams. But in the case of Jerusalem, he said in a telephone interview from the United States, he tried "to do the most beautiful contemporary bridge I could do."
Mentioning features like the angle of the mast and the bridge's curve, he added, "There is not another one like this, and nor will there be."
The bridge embankments will be clad in the pale dolomitic limestone that characterizes the city. Calatrava also thought of capping the mast in gold, imagining it catching the light at sunrise and sunset. But the city decided it did not want such a symbolic element, he said.
For the taste of many here the bridge is ostentatious enough, especially given that it all started with the need to solve a transportation problem.
The main light-rail line will run from the Jewish suburb of Pisgat Zeev, in the north, through several Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem. It will skirt the Old City and head downtown along Jaffa Road, then out to Mount Herzl, in the south.
The challenge was how to traverse the teeming junction at the entrance to the city.
A tunnel was out of the question because of the proximity to another one. So the choice was between a functional concrete bridge to be built for less than $15 million, or something more monumental, said Nadav Meroz, acting director of the Jerusalem Transportation Master Plan team, which is coordinating the project.

Die Volltondichte   ist eine Messgröße im Druck und wird mit Hilfe eines Densitometers ermittelt. Sie ist die optische Dichte einer durchgehend mit Farbe bedeckten Fläche (Volltonfläche, im Gegensatz zur Rasterfläche).

Da an der Druckmaschine die Farbschichtdicke nicht messbar ist, wird die optische Dichte von Volltonfeldern als Hilfsmittel zur Farbsteuerung herangezogen: aus Ergiebigkeitsdiagrammen für Druckfarben lassen sich die quasilinearen Bereiche nutzen, um einer Dichtemessung einen Farbauftrag zuzuordnen (s. Abb.). So werden in der Druckpraxis Maschinen mit Hand oder automatisiert gesteuert. Dies betrifft den Offset- und den Hochdruck, soweit Zonenregelungen vorhanden sind.

Hingegen müssen die Tiefdruck-, Siebdruck- und die zonenfrei arbeitenden Offset- und Hochdruck- (meist Flexodruck-) maschinen die Farbübertragung durch Modifikation der Druckform bzw. der Einfärbevorrichtung (hier: Rasterwalze) regeln.

Außer von der Dicke der Farbschicht hängt die Volltondichte einer Farbe noch ab von:
 der Pigmentierung der Farbe (Ergiebigkeit)
 der Oberfläche des Bedruckstoffes (Rauheit, Saugeigenschaften, Eigenfärbung)
 der Feinverteilung der Farbschichtdicke (Perligkeit).

Für den normgerechten Skalendruck schreibt ISO 12647-2, in Deutschland eingebunden in den Prozess Standard Offset, farbmetrische Messwerte vor. Druckereien ohne Spektralfotometer (oder Densitometer?) benutzen dagegen häufig empirisch ermittelte Vorgaben der Volltondichten.

Die zunehmende Verwendung von Computern in Druckmaschinen und neue, kompakte Spektralfotometer erleichtern eine Steuerung der Farbzonen über farbmetrische Messungen. Daher geht die Bedeutung der Volltondichte zurück. In der Messung von Tonwerten und Tonwertzunahmen ist sie jedoch noch immer unerlässlich, ebenso bei der Bestimmung des relativen Druckkontrastes.

Apple will ready to launch foldable smartphone
USNMix Report: Apple ready to fetch iPhone,
this will be the specialty.
A company like Samsung, Xiaomi has already announced that it is launching a fast-drive smartphone soon.
This year, smartphones and technology are going to be very special in the world. It is expected that in India this year 5G will be a trial. Apart from this, the most waiting is for the phone. So far Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, LG and Lenovo have announced that they will launch the soon-to-be-launched smartphones. In the meanwhile, Apple has also announced to launch the Foldable Smartphone. The company has recently patented this design.
This design was patented by Apple in 2011, but it was updated in 2016. Many design sketches have been leaked from the company's patent design. The design of the phone is available through the sketch. According to media reports, the name of Apple's foldable smartphone can be 'wraparound iPhone'.
According to the release sketch and media reports, the smartphone also has an edge to edge display. Also, there will be no headphone jack and home button. It is also claimed that instead of rear buttons, the virtual keypad can be seen. To make the phone fold, the display will be made so that it can be folded on both sides. It is also being said that if the 'wraparound iPhone' is successful then the Foldable MacBook and iPad can also be launched. Hopefully this smartphone will be launched in 2020. At the moment, the official statement will have to wait.

College Admissions - A Laughing Matter? Yes!
Hilarious! Eric received the following email from University of Chicago encouraging him to meet their early application deadline. I got a giggle out of several of these, especially # 7. Reaching out to kids with a sense of humor is greatly appreciated!
1. Dean Nondorf wants You! To apply to the University of Chicago.
2. Winter will be SO MUCH WARMER, comparatively. To January 20, 1985.
3. You can't get into college if you don't apply!
4. Turning in a college application is a time honored All Saint's Day tradition.
5. Procrastinating is only cool and fun once you're in college.
6. You are one step closer to winning a Nobel Prize! Or at least closer to people who have won the Nobel Prize.
7. If you turn in your application early, Jon and Kate will a) get back together or b) stay divorced. Choose your own adventure!
8. Every time an Early Action application is sent in, a fairy gets its wings.
9.That Hogwarts letter isn't coming. This is the next best thing.
What fun… I didn't think educrats could be so relaxed. Thanks for sharing.
Is he going to apply???
I went there! Their sense of humor was definitely a draw. If your son thought this was funny, he'd probably fit right in. Incidentally, the picture accompanying the article is of the Chicago Theological Seminary, home of the Seminary Co-op bookstore. The University just purchased it last year, but the Seminary is still housed there.
Anne B – yes, I think so. Anne #2 – we enjoyed our visit to the campus last spring – the student who led our tour did a terrific job and make it seem like a very fun and stimulating place to attend college.


Who: Formed in Geelong, Victoria, Australia the trio: guitarist and lead singer Zak Olsen, guitarist and bassist Daff Gravolin, and drummer Jamie Harmer have been bringing their riffs from the stars and beyond since January 2015.
Sound: ORB doesn't just live in the fuzz, they were born in it. ORB has a sound that can be described as many things: Sabbath Worship, Stoner metal, Stoner doom, fist pumping arena rock, hard rock, stoner rock, psychedelic- the list goes on and on. ORB has been about heavy, fuzzy, fantastical songs since their conception.
TFN Final Take: ORB and King Gizzard on Flightless Records go together like peanut butter and jelly. ORB is a band that upholds the labels musical roots and we couldn't be better for it. Their first LP Birth answered the call of the riff filled lands. Their second, Naturality -my personal favorite- honed their song writing and construction, which led to mostly memorable album. Their third effort, The Space Between which had Gizzard's lead singer and guitarist Stu Mackenzie manning production -also produced the prior albums- is the groups dive into a more progressive style.
The Space Between has some of the finest ORB tracks ever written. "I Want What I Want" interchanges The Beatles "Something" with a chorus of fist pumping arena rock. "General Electric" grooves through time and space with its' multi jam movements. "Silverfern" takes the folk rock of druids, mixed with huge hanging chords that creates the most feel good song in their catalogue.
I feel like the primary goal of The Space Between was to create these multi movement songs without being overblown and bloated with complication. Mackenzie and the boys have succeeded. Album ender, "Stonefruit I, II, III" is a dark trip that takes spiral stair case down to the dungeon. But, ORB doesn't stop there, the song morphs into bouncy fuzz rock and a passage near the end that almost seems to call out the Eagles.
The Space Between is by no means a heady album. In fact I actually find Naturality to be tighter album. But, that being said The Space Between takes ORB in a direction that I'd like to see them explore deeper. The Space Between is an album that really makes me excited for what's next.
Along with TFN, Christopher Tahy writes for several music publications and has a modest (but growing) vinyl collection that spans genres and generations, while being a guitarist at heart. He enjoys the Dayton music scene and can never turn down a great rock riff!

Electricians don't usually need reminding that their work has inherent hazards, and that they need insurance. But how much insurance, and for what risks? The answer will vary from tradesman to tradesman, depending on the structure of their business and the work they undertake. The States, too, have different statutory requirements. Your insurance broker will help you assess your business for risk, but it will greatly help the consultation if you have understood and given thought to the variables at play. This article looks at some aspects of risk that are frequently neglected in this assessment.
Professional Indemnity – here there's an important distinction to be made. If you not only "supply and fit" electrical systems, but design them, too, you will be liable for losses arising from the design, even if the installation was faultless. We see a lot of policies that skimp on professional liability cover, and your broker will want to quiz you to ensure that your cover is adequate.
Subcontracting – when an injury or loss occurs on site, the injured party will have recourse in the first instance to the head contractor, whose insurance should cover all work on the site. However the head contractor's insurers will make every effort to place the liability elsewhere, and if a subcontractor appears to be responsible will proceed against them. A successful claim could ruin the subcontractor's business.
Income Protection – again, although most electricians cover themselves for injury and its immediate consequences, many do not provide adequately for long-term incapacitation. This is an issue for all sole traders and subcontractors. You will not be covered by sick leave or worker's compensation, so it's vital that you cover yourself against sickness and injury.
Construction Cover – this covers contractors for risks like fire, theft, vandalism and weather damage if a damaging event occurs during the course of a project. It's another area we see tends to be neglected, and you should get your broker to assess your exposure and ensure your cover is adequate.
Home/Office – Tradies tend to administer their business from home, and are notoriously under-insured when it comes to protecting their business from the consequences of a losing a computer to the theft, or weather damage. You should also ensure you have proper cover for personal injury to you or to third parties, and to coverage for trade materials stored in your office.
Tools and Equipment – here you should consider not just the cost of replacement of lost or stolen items, but the time taken to obtain replacements, during which your business will be in suspense.
At GSK Insurance Brokers, we take pride in ensuring that our tradies' insurance cover is not just and "off the shelf" policy, but a package tailored to the client's exact needs. If you'd like to discuss your tradesman's insurance, send us a contact request here.
