Being a dentist doesn't always mean dealing with tooth decay and gum disease, improving patients' health to ensure it is a while before they need to visit again. Many oral health professionals also spend a lot of their time dealing with the more aesthetic areas of dental care, straightening or whitening patients' teeth.
This is an area that has grown hugely in the last decade, and cosmetic dentistry has become a major industry. It is something that has been reflected in many practices' dental marketing, as the focus moves towards looking for a perfect smile and straight, white teeth. However, it is not just aesthetics, according to a leading social scientist.
Malcolm Gladwell, author of the bestselling 'Outliers: The Story of Success' along with many other books and articles, has indicated that the condition of people's teeth might be the next big indicator of social status, and one way in which people might be discriminated against.
He claims that people with misshapen, crooked or discoloured teeth have a lower chance of overall success in life, along with obese people, as they are more likely to be denied an entry level job than people seen as fit and healthy.
In the UK, there is already a large gap between the oral health of those living in deprived areas and the rest of the country. Mr Gladwell's comments raise concerns that people from poorer backgrounds could struggle to escape their origins if people begin to discriminate based on oral health and the appearance of teeth.
This would be bad for the country as a whole, and might be something that dentists should consider incorporating into their marketing material. People may be willing to go without cosmetic dental treatments if they are unaware that teeth are becoming a marker of social standing.

Comparison Between Erec and Enide and Don Quixote Essay
The celebrated Spanish novel. Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote is a lampoon for heroic poem. It mimics traditional heroic poem in a amusing manner so as to destruct the conventional outlook behind this serious genre. Therefore. its secret plan construction can be compared with Chretien de Troyes' Erec and Enide. a authoritative love affair heroic poem in Late Middle Ages. In Erec and Enide. the value of gallantry. courtly love and guest and host relationship may be found in this work. Speaking of gallantry. it starts from Erec's equal qualities of knighthood: handsome. valiant. baronial. immature and affluent.
He is qualified as a knight absolutely in visual aspect. societal place and personality. Thereafter. Erec goes through two escapades. In the first 1. he experiences a discredited event. humiliated by a midget. the knight named Yder's retainer. and he fights and additions his award back. In this combat. the dwarf's physical progressive may propose his mental deficit. since he didn't travel hunting as other knights do. but he chose to attach to the queen with insouciant frock. This behaviour and his deficiency of equipment may bespeak that he may non carry through his duty of gallantry well.
Therefore. the requital means non merely for the return for his award but for the rectification for his uncourtly behaviour. After that. Erec becomes so attached to his married woman. Enide. that he quits runing with other knights. Afterwards. he goes on to the 2nd journey. In the 2nd 1. he encountered a elephantine. Guivret. who symbolizes his hamming of courtesy. Guivret is besides defeated. demoing that Erec has corrected his behaviour of exaggerating. These two escapades tell that gallantry should be followed neither missing nor transcending.
When it comes to courtly love. it may be shown from the relationship between Erec and the queen. At the beginning of the narrative. Erec's undressing and his accompany with the queen may say his unusual relationship with her. When he triumphs over Yder. he commands Yder to travel back to the queen to honour her. Since Erec can't do this love toward her be revealed for the difference of societal position. he puts this love into his bosom and reveals it in this manner. As for the relationship between invitee and host. Erec meets the male parent of Enide and he shows his cordial reception to Erec. and he in the terminal was rewarded for award and wealth.
Although Don Quixote has similar construction. its context reverses audience's outlook of traditional heroic poem and makes merriment of it. First. speech production of gallantry. Don Quixote's visual aspect may non be equal: he is an old and thin individual with a meager face. Besides. he is praised by acquiring up early ; seemingly it is non a description for a good knight. Cervantes makes Don Quixote good story by these portraitures. Subsequently. he has several escapades. and in one of them he encounters the Biscayan. a retainer of the ladies.
Don Quixote's battle with him mimics the combat between knights. and that it ends with Don Quixote's triumph and his petition for the Biscayan to implore for clemency in forepart of his darling lady. Dulcinea del Toboso. Second. as to courtly love. Don Quixote imagined a farm miss. Aldonza Lorenzo. to be the Princess Dulcinea del Toboso. Even though every clip Don Quixote calls her name before he is traveling to contend. he ne'er talks to her. nor did her cognize his name. Besides. unlike the baronial ladies in traditional gallantry work. Dulcinea is described as "the best manus of any adult female in all La Mancha for salting pigs" .
Third. when it comes to the relationship of invitee and host. in Don Quixote's foremost journey he breaks the jurisprudence of invitee and host. He enters the hostel and troubles the landlord to the grade that the landlord wants him to go forth without bear downing him. In decision. Cervantes doesn't merely mimic the romantic heroic poem severely for mocking it. He besides wants to knock it by seting a knight to the seventeenth century. The value of gallantry may differ from the value in seventeenth century society so much that the originally normal behaviour of knights seems pathetic in people's eyes from different clip.

GSA starts first federal blog on Tumblr platform
By Alice Lipowicz
| April 4, 2011
The General Services Administration is the first federal agency to create a blog on Tumblr, a popular site for blogging and "re-blogging."
Related stories:"We chose Tumblr because it is a rapidly growing platform," said Jessica Milcetich, USA.gov Blog manager. "It not only is for blogging, but it offers social features so people can share, comment and connect."
The federal government is now on Tumblr, with the General Services Administration launching its USA.gov Blog on the popular blogging and social networking platform.
"GSA negotiated the Tumblr terms of service, and we are the first federal agency using Tumblr," said GSA spokesman Robert Lesino.
Tumblr is a free, Web-based social network service that offers registered members an opportunity to blog, share their blogs, "re-blog" by posting others' blogs and to follow and search other members' blogs. It claimed 15 million users as of March.
New Year's resolutions for getting the most of social media
Dishonorable mentions: Federal Blogs
Since its launch on Tumblr on March 1, the USA.gov Blog currently has about 300 followers. The new blog is the reconstituted version of the GSA's former GovGab blog, which was renamed, folded under the USA.gov umbrella and moved to Tumblr. The new USA.gov Blog also contains the archives for GovGab, which started in 2007.
The GovGab blog was one of the first federal blogs and was created to disseminate helpful government information in the new social formats. Now "rebranded" as the USA.gov Blog, it carried consumer-directed information articles on a broad range of topics, including comparing school broadband connections, NASA's songwriting contest for the space shuttle mission, and tips for shopping at local farmers markets.
"We decided to refine and take the best of GovGab and rebrand it under the USA.gov brand," Milcetich said. "We wanted to make it easier to find by using a recognizable brand."
Although most blogs on the Tumblr platform have "Tumblr" in their Web address, the USA.gov Blog has a customized URL without that term that is fully integrated into Tumblr's platform, Milcetich said.
The Tumblr platform also allows the agency to highlight information that is in the news and in demand by the public.
"Our content on the tsunami and Japan was extremely popular," Milcetich said. "The new platform is great for us."
Public comments are accepted on the USA.gov Blog, and a few comments have been received in recent weeks. For example, a school broadband posting received two comments, NASA's songwriting contest got one comment, and the farmers market tips yielded no comments.
"We would love for people to comment, but it is not the main focus," Milcetich said.
Tumblr competes against the WordPress and Posterous blogging services. Tumblr claims to have superior graphics and publishing features, along with mobile applications, e-mail, privacy controls, automatic broadcasting, customized domain names and other features.

Q: Reading streams from java Runtime.exec I have the following snippet of code:
Process proc = runtime.exec(command);
errorGobbler = new ErrorStreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), logErrors, mdcMap);
outputGobbler = new OutputStreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), mdcMap);
executor.execute(errorGobbler);
executor.execute(outputGobbler);
processExitCode = proc.waitFor();

where the gobblers are Runnables which use a BufferedReader to read the input and error streams of the executing process. While this works most of the time, I get the occasional window (of about 2 minutes or so) where I get the processExitCode as 0, which indicates normal termination but there is nothing in the input and error streams - nothing to even indicate end-of-stream.
Like I indicated before, this works most of the time but this failure occurs every once in a while - and I am totally puzzled. Any ideas?
Rags

A: I've struggled with the same kind of issues.
I can't remember what exactly was wrong (maybe I forgot to flush / close the streams correctly or something ...).
Anyway, here is what I came up with.
/**
 *  Handle communication with a process, reading its output/error and feeding its input
 *  @param process The process to execute
 *  @param _in Reader that will feed the input pipe of the process
 *  @param out Writer that will receive the output of the process

    final BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(_in);

    // Final versions of the the params, to be used within the threads
    final BufferedReader stdOut = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
    final BufferedReader stdErr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
    final BufferedWriter stdIn = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream()));

    // Thread that reads std out and feeds the writer given in input
    new Thread() {
        @Override public void run() {
            String line;
            try {
                while ((line = stdOut.readLine()) != null) {
                   out.write(line + newline);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {throw new Error(e);}

                out.flush();
                out.close();

    // Thread that reads the std in given in input and that feeds the input of the process
    new Thread() {

            String line;
            try {
                while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    stdIn.write(line + newline);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {throw new Error(e);}

            try {

    // Wait until the end of the process
    try {
         process.waitFor();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new Error(e);
    }

} // End of #communicate

I hope this helps.

You read that correctly, October Fast, not Oktoberfest. I started this month with a 14 day salt water fast. This is the first long fast I've been able to do for a while and it was wonderful. By "salt water fast" I mean that I ingested no food and drank a saline solution of sodium and potassium, along with all the plain water I felt like having.
I talk a lot about why I'm fasting and how it works, but I'll go over some of that again in this post. I will update this post every day of my planned 14 day fast, starting with today, October 22nd.
Today I am starting a second two week fast to end the month of October. A final October Fast.
I love October. I don't really know anyone who doesn't. To me it's always felt like a second New Year, a chance to reset goals and renew expectations as the seasons change and academic and theatrical organizations beginning preparing for fall and winter in earnest.
I feel a power that comes to me when October arrives. So despite my struggle all summer to do longer fast, especially to break through the three day barrier, I felt that the top of October was the right time.
My work and life schedule have helped. I don't have to drive my car as much for work, and my work is fun and low stress. I can get through the three day hump, the hardest part of fast for me (besides refeeding as I'll mention) while staying busy but not getting too tired.
I broke this last fast on October 15th against my own wishes, but I was in a very vulnerable place and got pressure from a few close family members. I was vulnerable because I'd added in a period of dry fasting inside my salt water fast. I now know that dry fasting is emotionally and physically challenging enough for me that it can be enough to make me cave.
See, I wish I'd been able to complete 100 hours of dry fasting (I made it to 94 hours), and return to salt water fasting for the rest of the week. I really wanted to do 21 days in October. But it's ok. I ate for the next seven days, including a great family party where I enjoyed good food and the company of those I love best.
I get pretty emotional. I love fasting. I love that feeling that overlays everything I do and think from about day five on. I truly missed my fast for the week that I went back to eating. There are spiritual and mental benefits, or even blessings if you want to think of it that way. It is hard to let those go.
Today is the 22nd of October. I am going to fast for the next ten days, to finish my October Fast ritual. At least, I'd love to make it a yearly ritual. A time of power and realignment as the world turns from producing life to resting.
I'm going to do a short video like that everyday of this fast, just like the first one I did this month. It was an amazing accountability tool. I knew people were watching. Even if it was only three or four views per video, I knew there was someone waiting to see what I would do and say the next day.
This time I am also going to blog here about my fast. I'll include my physical and mental experiences, and some of the research and anecdotal stuff I've read or watched.
My first goal with sharing is to first motivate myself. I REALLY need help getting through the first three days.
My second goal is to educate people about fasting. It is safe, healthy, effective, and normal. It's our messed up medical system and government subsidized food industry that says going for more than an hour without food will kill you.
My third and biggest goal is, naturally, to lose weight. What else? I'm not going to pretend it's not. Yes, there are amazing health benefits, I can point you to a million articles and videos on autophagy and various kinds of healing that fasting enables.
But I'm not going to pretend I'm in this for some ephemeral "perfect state of health." I love dancing and I want to look good doing it. I have a goal weight where dancing is easier, jumping takes less effort, its easier to lift my leg higher, I still have energy, but I feel good about my inner thighs. Seriously, who doesn't want that? Really, deep down, doesn't everyone want to be physically beautiful? I never felt I have been. I've always been just a little too big. At least for a dancer. So, keeping in mind I still need to do some trial and error (aborting my fast early is an example) I'm going to pursue the body shape and composition I want in the safest, healthiest way there is.
Today was SUPER easy. I had plenty of food last night at my family Halloween Party. I've been refeeding from my first fast all week. My liver and muscles are full of glycogen. It will be day three or so as those stores start o run out that fasting will be hard for a while. Then my body will flip into burning body fat, and I'll be off.
Staying busy, not getting too tired, and, for me, staying out of the house without definite work to do, make fasting easy.
The rest of the chapter is about the Sabbath, which is wonderful. God promises all these wonderful physical and spiritual things if you fast. I'm using this as one of my primary arguments against those who would say it is unsafe and unnatural. Most religions have preached fasting one way or another. But as a society addicted to sugar, we can no longer conceive of a 24 hour fast without pain, let alone a three week fast or more in pleasure, comfort, joy, humility, and health.
I'll write more tomorrow about how Day 2 feels, and some particulars on how fasting works. I'll keep making my YouTube videos too and put the links here. I will share this link on Facebook periodically, but I know some people are tired of me ranting about this, and I'm tired of being discouraged from it, I won't be there as much. Besides, I need to make room on my Facebook for my Libertarian rants.
Feeling good today besides my back pain. This pain is not from fasting. I get it periodically when I don't stretch and roll enough after classes or biking. I'm actually hoping that fasting will help with any inflammation that may be going on.
Before when I have fasted I have let myself think about food. I sort of enjoyed the anticipation, but this set me up badly for refeeding. I stayed obsessed with food even though I wasn't fasting.
So while I'm still interested in food today and will be for most of tomorrow, I am trying to be aware of this interest, and redirect my mind to my refeeding plans. My plan involves both what I'll eat and when, and I have been rehearsing it when I notice I'm thinking about various foods.
If anyone reading has questions or comments I'd be happy to address them in this post. Just let me know one way or another.
Its longer, I had some dance footage from the week before. I ate for those seven days. If I can get through the next seven days, I will have only eaten for seven days out of October. That has been an interesting way for me to think about it.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos of other people who do long fasts, searching for information and motivation for my eventual refeeding. I know that I need to not obsess about food while I fast, even about the good things I plan to break with. I know I need a firm plan of when I'll eat and exactly what. And I know I need to keep the eating window small. I'll still fast that morning.
Today has been pretty easy, but I'm still glad I have this post and my videos keeping me accountable to real people. That has been so powerful. I wish I had made my fasting goals and time lines public sooner.
I was able to have a slow morning at home and get some reading and other work done. I don't feel hungry and I haven't needed to drink water constantly. When I do get thirsty I have a few sips of salt water and some plain water. In the past I have drunk a lot of fruit tea. I found that the various flavors stimulated my appetite, so I've only been having peppermint tea in the evening, since the flavor has an appetite suppressing effect for me.
I can gauge my energy by how easily I get winded when jumping in ballet class and by how easy or hard biking up the hill from my work down town is. One Monday, Day One, biking home was easy. I was home before I knew it. I'll see how I feel biking home today. My back pain isn't letting me jump very much, but I had plenty of energy for teaching my little ballet students last night. When I get into deep fat burning mode, I'll have more interesting energy ups and downs as I process my body fat.
I'm basically going to share what I said in the shorter video.
Life for most humans for thousands of years was a forced cycle of feasting and fasting. So desiring to feast is a natural and wonderful thing. But we don't balance it any more with fasting or famine. We have food, usually of inferior quality, all around us all the time, and we are constantly partaking, even if we aren't really hungry. Food is now a drug that we use to combat fear, boredom, anxiety, real physical pain, sorrow, disappointment etc. When food is a drug it can't also function as celebratory element in a joyful social situation.
We are told, again, by government subsidized food companies, that we need to eat ALL.THE.TIME. I can show a bunch of articles and videos on why this is bad. The short reason is that your insulin is chronically raised, leading eventually to insulin insensitivity, which leads to a myriad of health problems. Physiologically when we are eating all the time we bounce from satisfaction to satisfaction, with very little anticipation. Want to really enjoy a simple meal? Try fasting for just ten hours.
So many people, including myself, are to some degree, sugar addicts, or junk food addicts, so we can't even get to a place where we are actually FOOD hungry; we are just sugar hungry, or processed food hungry.
We don't know how to feast because we don't even know what real hunger is.
Which is really sad. Especially with November coming up, and the Thanksgiving Holiday. How are we to feel grateful for the simple things like good food if we hardly give it a second thought, except to satisfy the hourly craving?
When you have fasted for three days, any food seems amazing. When you have fasted for seven days, you realize that wanting food is all in you head. It is 100% mental. Unless you truly have a body fat percentage in the single digits, you don't NEED to eat. You WANT to. And isn't that one of the biggest lessons we try to teach children? The lesson that makes responsible adults? Knowing the difference between a need and a want and choosing to act for long term benefit instead of instant gratification? That is another reason I want to do another hefty round of fasting for November. What better way to appreciate food, family, and all that comes together for Thanksgiving Day than by balancing the feast with a fast? How is our Thanksgiving dinner even special if we have been over eating or eating our feelings all year?
Fasting will humble you. I have found just how weak I am, both in learning to fast and in failing at my refeeds. I am weak. I am an addict. When I fast I can't hide in the fridge with the mayonnaise from my fears and frustrations. I MUST face them. I MUST take action, either in my own head or in real life. I thought I was pretty tough because I study ballet, I have run two marathons, I served an LDS mission, I earned a music degree, and I live in Utah where winter is THE WORST, and I've biked to work all year around. But fasting has shown me another place where I am soft and comfortable. It has shown me that weak place that has kept me over weight with bad skin for years. I still have a long way to go to grow stronger in this area of my life.
I have had a few people who are very close to me and whom I love very, very much, express worry at my goal to complete a second 14 day fast. Thank you for your love and care. I am so happy I have you in my life.
But until any one who would question this can honestly debate me over a two week fast, I challenge that one to first complete a two day fast. If you can do that, we can have a conversation. Until you have had a taste of the joy of fasting, don't try to discourage me.
One more great thing from today: I play the piano for ballet classes. I had some wonderful moments while I was playing today and yesterday where my brain was so free and on fire. I felt so creative with my playing, and I was reading a book between combinations with out ever loosing my spot or missing my cues from the teacher. Ketosis is awesome for the brain. I love how my brain feels running on body fat.
Feeling good. A little stressed, I have some work for my business that is going slowly because of other people but also because I have been putting things off. And I need to run out the door in a minute to go teach some ballet and tap lessons.
I don't really tap any more. But they are young kids so we can have fun together.
My energy feels really great. Very level and focused. Despite getting up late this morning and moving slowly to try to help my back, I have got a good handful of things done both around the house and on my computer.
I'm SO glad I made it past the first three days. I can now enjoy fasting again. I can enjoy the calm steady energy, the extra time I don't have to spend with preparing food and doing dishes (though I did do dishes for my husband last night; he was out of spoons, bowls and forks) and I can enjoy the continued weight loss.
I have a small collection of "thin" clothes. I think a lot of women do. I periodically put them on to feel how far I have come. A few things don't quite fit yet like they did last time I did a lot of fasting, but most of them are coming along.
We are getting in to chunky sweater and flannel shirt season, but there still comes a time in ballet class where you just get too warm to keep all the layers and you have to see what that leotard looks like.
Some times I wish I didn't dance and I didn't care. But I also try to keep in mind that this isn't just for the short term. There are many studies that indicate fasting and/or caloric restriction can increase lifespan. I want to be 120 and still moving and exploring the world. Who knows what I'll be able to experience, with technology moving so fast?
Fasting is wonderful for the Now and the Far Away Someday.
Today was rough. I was tired and my back has kept hurting. We had ballet class and Snowflake rehearsal for Nutcracker. I'm frustrated that I can't jump right now.
I was asked to play for another community concert, so while still wearing my bun and my leotard under some yoga pants I played the triangle and the crash cymbals.
I squeezed in a nap before going to the LDS temple for a session with my husband. For non LDS types, its kind of like going to mass. Ritual and a lot of standing up and sitting down. But it was relaxing and I was able to feel some of the spiritual effects of fasting too. I was feeling grouchy because I was tired and I was also feeling really judgmental about all the sick fat people I saw all around me. I was seriously not seeing humans, I was seeing sick, fat food addicts every time I saw someone overweight. It was a pretty ugly place. I was not being a good person.
But as I settled into the ritual and peace of the temple I realized that 1. I too am a sick addict and just because it doesn't show as much on my body doesn't mean I have complete control over my relationship with food and 2. These wonderful people all around me, both in the temple and the ones I saw outside, are all humans and children of God. They have things that are not going so well in their lives, just like me, and for some of them this shows physically. They also have things in their lives that are going wonderfully well, and many of them are very happy, or at least happy a lot of the time. I need to be more grateful for all the things that are going well for me, even if right now I feel like this fast is a little hard today.
I just need to go lie down. The peanut butter jar is calling to me and I am working so hard on my visualizations and meditations for continuing this fast till the end and breaking it EXACTLY how I want to.
So for any one thinking of starting to fast, please know it is a lot like learning to run. Its hard some times, gives you a high some times, is extremely rewarding, but also has these awful hours or even days where you really don't want to keep going.
I seriously would have quit tonight if I didn't have this post and the videos that I know people are reading and watching. Thank you for your comments and views. I MUST remember that my desire to eat right now is ALL IN MY HEAD. My body is fine. It feels fine. I don't even have a headache.
I can't even pin point where the desire to eat is coming from. Not my stomach, my muscles, not even my mouth. Its my food addiction telling me that since I'm tired and a little frustrated with life, I need to eat something to calm down. I want to destroy that aspect of my relationship with food. Food will not be my drug.
In the video I share my favorite scripture on fasting from Isaiah 58. I copied it up above, but in the video I read through and talk about the different ideas and my interpretation.
Mostly, I felt a little chided while reading this today. I have been getting defensive about my fasting, and I was definitely grouchy because of it yesterday. The chapter starts out with the Lord's people asking why He has not heard their prayers despite their torturing themselves with fasting.
I have been asking why people can't see the good in what I'm doing with my fast. The Lord answers that fasting is supposed to bring about many kind of physical and spiritual blessings and that if you just complain about being uncomfortable, you won't be able to see them, or see Him as already being present in you life. I already know fasting does wonderful things for me. I need to be humble and not judge other people based on their lack of experience with fasting.
This reminds me of the somewhat non Christian or non religious idea of mindfulness. Fasting definitely demands mindfulness, especially if you don't want to break your fast early. If I had not had this post and my videos for accountability, keeping me mindful, I would have come home from a long tiring day and eaten half a Costco jar of peanut butter. But what I see this morning is my mindful ability to self reflect is stronger. I wouldn't have had that insight today without the challenge and success of yesterday, as uncomfortable as it was.
I think God does want us to be mindful. That is why so many faiths have a tradition of ritual and cycles of remembrance and celebration. God doesn't want our days to just fly be in pursuit of our daily bread. He wants us to find joy and satisfaction along with the pain and disappointment that always accompany learning.
Let me tell you a little bit about Time on a long fast. It does seem to slow down. The first half of October felt so long. Not because fasting was making me miserable, but because it made me very aware of my body and the media I consumed and my interactions with people. I had to plan my behavior around eating situations. I had to hold out during family meals. I had to thoughtfully and kindly defend my choice to fast to different people in different ways.
Imagine a day where you have to wear an uncomfortable or ugly outfit AND be in a lot of social situations. That day will feel longer than a day spent at home in your jammies. Even if I was alone most of the day while fasting or didn't have to defend my fasting out right, I still had to deal with it every few minutes or hours as thoughts of food or discomfort popped up.
This doesn't make the longer days unpleasant. I had a wonderful time with my family, I had relaxing days and rewarding days where I worked hard at my job, my teaching, and my dancing. But fasting made me more aware of more of my minutes.
I have been trying to implement a meditation routine for the last couple of years. It is hit or miss. Some weeks I meditate for a good ten minutes every day, and I always feel great. Then a late morning will come along, or an especially early morning, and I lose the habit.
A long fast is a way to ensure I stay thoughtful, even if I don't summon the discipline to sit and meditate several days in a row.
Despite my long lecture yesterday I have continued to be grouchy and over sensitive about fasting and it has bled into other aspects of my life. Mostly, my poor husband gets the brunt of it. I can be polite to people on the surface all day long, I don't feel like I was hard to be around at church yesterday.
But I did avoid going to family dinner at his mother's house. I had a good excuse, I played in a community concert that evening, but I had time both before and after the concert to at least go greet my mother in law and my husband's brother and his family. But I didn't. After refusing Halloween candy, left over wedding cake and other wedding celebration goodies (a couple in my ward was married yesterday) for almost all of my time a church and having a nap cut short, I just didn't want to deal with people that I really do need to be nice too.
So today I'm trying to be better. I have been kind to my spouse, and I'm sitting at my workplace waiting to start work, and I don't really have to talk to any one, just play the piano. I get to do this for the rest of the evening.
My challenge tonight will be to treat my husband kindly and not bring up fasting or politics. It is silly because he is supporting my fast and we mostly agree on politics. I just get mad at the world in general and take it out on him.
I'm hoping this week will also be pretty easy, the way the fourth and fifth day were. I can be on my bike for most the work week (driving is another thing that adds stress o my life) and I'm getting a massage on Saturday! That should help with my back pain.
But my back feels better to so far today. Something else to be grateful for. I was able to jump some today in my morning ballet class. Not completely without pain and I didn't jump high. And I still don't have an arabesque on my left side, but it was better today. I'm hoping fasting and my massage and a little more rest and stretching will heal it up all the way.
The question mark means I ate. I had two cucumbers last night. I'm REALLY frustrated that I broke my fast, but I was in such a yucky place. I think I did ok considering my usual lack of restraint with my refeeds. But I'm upset. Not so much at myself as at the situation. My head hurt, despite having all my salt and water. My body hurts. My back felt worse through the day. It was just rough.
And after eating the cucumbers, I was able to get to sleep more easily than I have in several days. That was amazing, and very much needed.
See, since day six I haven't been able to find my fasting high. My eneihas been low, so I haven't done my usual morning workout, I would walk part of the way home instead of bike, and I didn't do extra movement if I didn't need to.
I'm doing this from my phone today by the way, so there may be more errors than usual.
So this morning I got up and did a GREAT workout. Best I've done for a while. I guess hoping in part to undo the "damage" of eating last night.
This goes to show how much of this is mental. Two cucumbers shouldn't shouldn't have given me all that energy. But I found it in myself.
I still actually feel fasted today. Still a little light headed if I stand up too fast, still alert, and, unfortunately, still a little irritable.
What do you think? Can I call this day 9? Or am I back on day 1? Either way, I'm going to continue October Fast and fast through today and tomorrow.
I have some plans already for November. I want to fast as many days as I can.
For now, I know I'm going out with my husband on the fifth. That's one day.
Then I know I'll be with my family for Thanksgiving for three or four days. So that is at least four or five days of eating.
Of course I'll need to monitor my body fat levels, my energy, my work and social obligations, and my dancing.
I am very interested in experimenting with the carnivore diet. If I do need to eat more than those days in November, I would like to try eating a variety of quality animal products (no dairy for now) both cooked and raw. I already love sushi, so I'm good for raw salmon and tuna. I've been researching beef tartare and I have an excellent meat and fresh eggs source.
I was listening to some motivational fasting videos this morning. The guy reiterated again and again that you have to be strong to get what you want in life. And you need to evaluate what you want. Will it really make you happy, or cause you more stress? I know I want a strong lean body. I'm assessing my work and social situations more these days because fasting really makes you question what you NEED and what you want.
I've filled a box to give to DI (the Utah version of Good Will) because I know now I don't need all this stuff. I need health and my dancing and some clothes.
I'll end here for today. One more day of October Fast, and whatever mistakes I've made this month, the successes have already been wonderful. I'm already looking forward to more strength and motivation and power for November Fast.
OctoberFast is over. It did not end as planned. I need more fasting experience to know what went wrong and how I reacted to it. I'm not going to call total failure, some really good things happened. It's ok if it didn't match what was in my brain.
Happy Halloween by the way. I love this holiday. My favorite is when I play for it teach ballet classes and the students dress up. Dancers have asuch a sense of style, no matter what they decide to be they are still ballerina classy.
I've already talked about my plan for November. In brief, I want to fast all but 4 days total. If I do need to eat more, and I admit that is very likely, I want to experiment with the carnivore diet. I've been reading about it a lot and I'll share it here and in my videos as the month and hopefully my November Fast progress.
I'm really going to miss cucumbers.
Unless I need to eat some kind of vegetable.

Magnetic detection of injury-induced ionic currents in bean plants

A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) multichannel magnetometer was used to measure the temporal and spatial evolution of the magnetic field accompanying stimulation by burning and/or cutting of Vicia faba plants. These magnetic fields are caused by ionic currents that appear after injury in different parts of the plant. All measured V. faba plants responded to the burning stimulation with detectable quasi-d.c. magnetic signals. In order to measure these signals, a suitable modulation had to be used. The covariance method was applied to analyse the measured data. The results demonstrate a dipolar-like magnetic signal, exponentially decreasing in time, above the cutting type of injury. After the burning stimulation, the magnetically detected activity was concentrated predominantly above the leaves/petioles and less above the stem. Possible mechanisms for this behaviour are suggested. A comparison with previously known electrical measurements of plant injury is given.

Howdy and thanks in advance!
I have a 3800HGV-B Gateway (ATT Uverse) with a media PC directly connected. I have a WRT54GS running DD-WRT v24RC2 connected via HPNA with a ClarkConnect fileserver and numerous wireless laptops connected to the WRT54GS.
I would like to know what network setup I should have so that the all PCs on the network will be able to share files. The main reason I am wanting to use the WRT54GS is that the UVERSE gateway does not allow me to override the DNS server entries passed on to clients and I want to use OpenDNS as my DNS servers. In addition, I want to use the file server as a Web and OpenVPN server.
I have tried using the WRT as a repeater bridge with DHCP Forwarding, which allows all of the PCs to communicate, openvpn, and web connections, but does not allow me to override the DNS servers.
Currently, I have the 3800 setup with a 172.16.0.0 subnet and the WRT54GS with the 192.168.1.0 network. This configuration allows all of the workstations the right DNS entries, but does not allow the media PC to communicate with the file server. Communicate with the media PC from the PCs behind the WRT works.
Thanks for the information, but I had already checked the MDC(management) page. A recent upgrade remove the DNS Resolve from the menu list under advance.
Not surprised the removed it. I worked for their tech support and they didn't officially support that feature among others and discouraged even the people who knew what they were doing from helping with those "unsupported" settings to make the support experience homogenous from one agent to another. They also do not support using a router so don't expect a lot of help from them. The following is direct form 2Wire's website.
Please refer to the technical support telephone number printed on your product documentation and/or packaging. By using this specific phone number, we are able to provide you with more specific assistance. If you are unable to locate that telephone number, support is available online at 2Wire.com or by calling 480.567.7021 (Monday - Friday) 6:00 AM PST to 6:00 PM PST.
You may also find more detailed support information on your DSL provider's Website.
"By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe"
Ok, so I have been searching around for several weeks trying to figure out how I could use OpenDNS at the router level and still maintain communication between all of my workstations. My network setup is kind of odd in that I have a media PC connected directly to the RG and a file server in another room connected via the ethernet port on the back of the STB. I tried using several configurations by placing the DD-WRT/WRT54GS in the DMZ, using DHCP forwarding, and creating a separate subnet, but every one eliminated the ability for the media PC to access the file server. Ultimately, what I did was disable DHCP on the RG and connected the WRT54GS as a client and set it up to assign DHCP. So far everything is working like I want it.
Connect the router to the RG via the LAN port. Do not use the WAN port on the router.
After the router has finished booting, reboot all of the STBs and perform a release/renew of the PCs and you should be set.

Major mortgage lenders let borrowers shift unpaid interest onto principal to cope with rising costs
At least two of Canada's largest mortgage lenders allow borrowers to pass some of their interest costs on to the principal of their mortgage. Housing loanto help cope with the impact of rising interest rates.
of variable rate mortgage Products of the Toronto-Dominion Bank TD-T and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce CM-T It's not new, but it's been tested in this climb environment.
With interest rates rising by 3.5 percentage points so far this year, borrowers are at risk of delinquent interest payments and an increase in the original loan amount.
See how rising interest rates will affect your mortgage costs
Both TD and CIBC have variable rate mortgages similar to most other major lenders. The monthly payments on the loan are fixed and the mortgage interest rate is tied to the Bank of Canada's overnight lending rate.
However, with TD and CIBC, the original loan amount (mortgage principal) can be larger in some circumstances.Not sure if it's Bank of Montreal BMO-T make this possible.Two other major lenders, Royal Bank of Canada RY-T and Bank of Nova Scotia BNS-Tdo not allow the principal to increase.
All in all interest rate hikeAs the cost of borrowing increases, more of a borrower's monthly mortgage payment is used to cover interest costs.
When interest rates rise as sharply as this year, some borrowers will find themselves in a situation where their monthly mortgage payments are barely used to repay the principal. The borrower trigger rate, which often requires higher monthly payments in order to constantly reduce the size of the loan. This is also called amortization.
However, in TD and CIBC variable rate mortgages, borrowers may be allowed to stick above the trigger rate, up to a certain threshold, in payments that may not even cover the full amount of outstanding interest. . The unpaid portion of interest is deferred and added to the mortgage principal, increasing the borrower's loan balance or negatively amortizing it.
Both banks say that in such scenarios, they will actively engage with customers to outline their options and help them choose the one that best suits their needs. They also said they couldn't comment on how often this is happening because of upcoming earnings releases.
According to CIBC's latest results for the quarter ended July 31, borrowers had not yet accrued accrued interest on the principal. However, "to what extent" [interest] Interest rates continue to rise and some of that could happen," CIBC's then-chief risk officer Sean Beaver said in a summer call to discuss the outcome. (Mr. Beber is currently in charge of CIBC's U.S. operations.)
The Bank of Canada's key rate is now 3.75%, compared with 0.25% in early March.With Central Banks Ready raise interest rates againmore borrowers are about to face a surge in payments, and some may even see loan sizes grow.
One indicator of borrower stress is the length of the amortization period, or the time it takes to pay off a loan in full. Over the past few months, the percentage of mortgage loans made by major Canadian banks, including CIBC, has increased, with amortization terms exceeding his 30 years.
At CIBC, Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal, the proportion of mortgages with amortization terms greater than 30 years has doubled in the last three months, company filings show. Banks report that as of July 31, about a quarter of their mortgages had a tenor of more than 30 years.
But in TD, the public has no way of knowing the current amortization period. This is because TD has not disclosed the amortization period beyond the original contract of the mortgage.
"Rates could theoretically rise indefinitely, and TDs would simply show the original contractual amortization as if rates hadn't changed," said Mike Rizvanovic, a research analyst at investment bank KBW. Stated.
TD did not comment on inquiries from The Globe and Mail.
Under federal banking regulations, a portion of a borrower's loan must always be written off. But Canada's banking regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), also said it "expects lenders' risk management to adapt to changing circumstances and to adjust their practices accordingly." .
The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a federal mortgage insurance company, allows mortgages to be extended up to 105% of the original loan amount for variable rate borrowers.
However, borrowers who are allowed to increase their loan amount run a higher risk of finding themselves in a situation where they owe more than their home is worth.
For example, consider a homeowner who paid a 5% down payment on a $500,000 property. As deferred interest is added to the mortgage, the loan can grow up to $498,750. This is 105% of his $475,000 in the original mortgage. (This is assuming the borrower has not factored her CMHC premium into the mortgage, which adds another 4% to the loan amount.)
At the same time, if the property were to face the typical 10% price drop seen nationwide so far this year, the property would now be worth $450,000.
CMHC said its policy does not fall under federal banking regulations. Negative amortization is allowed if mortgage payments are "recalculated at least once every five years to ensure the loan can be paid within its original amortization schedule," it said.
Ben Rabidou, founder of market research firm North Cove Advisors, said the fact that CMHC rules allow insured mortgage balances to grow beyond the original amount raises questions. said.
"Is that sensible?" Rabidou said CMHC is "a risk manager on behalf of the Canadian taxpayer" in the housing market.
Rabidou also sees another problem with policies that allow mortgage balances to rise.
Upon renewal, the lender must return the mortgage to its original amortization schedule. For example, consider a borrower whose 5-year mortgage was amortized over 25 years to purchase a home. After 5 years, the lender recalculates payments so that the remaining mortgage balance is paid off in his remaining 20 years.
The result is higher payments for borrowers whose amortizations have increased in the first five years because mortgage installments have remained the same despite rising mortgage interest rates. Mortgage payments are also boosted if the interest rate at renewal is higher than the contracted interest rate the borrower originally contracted for.
Also, if loan increases were allowed during the term of the mortgage, these borrowers would have a higher mortgage principal to pay off in a shorter period.
"This is going to be a very nasty move," Rabidou said.

Netflix have acquired the distribution rights to Federico D'Alessandro's Tau, which judging by the synopsis below sounds like Home Alone meets Room, by way of Ex-Machina. Starring It Follows and The Guest's Maika Monroe, the sci-fi thriller will also feature Ed Skrein (Deadpool) and Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour).
Tau follows a once street-smart grifter, Julia (Monroe) who is the latest victim kidnapped and held captive in a fatal experiment. The only thing standing in the way of her freedom is Tau, an advanced artificial intelligence developed by Alex (Skrein), her captor. Tau is armed with a battalion of drones that automate a futuristic smart house. Tau's potential is only limited by his understanding of the world he exists in, but Tau is ready for more. Julia, showing resourcefulness and courage, must race against time to bridge the boundaries between man and machine, connect to Tau and win her freedom before she suffers the same fate as the previous subjects.
Tau is penned by Noga Landau and is produced by David S. Goyer alongside Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder for Addictive Pictures and Kevin Turen.

Peter's beer is the best!
A HUDDERSFIELD pub has been named Summer Pub of the Season by a campaigning group.
The Flyboat Inn, on Colne Street, Aspley, was given the accolade by the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) because of the quality of its Tetley bitter and mild.
The established Tetley's pub also ranked among the top contenders for this year's Huddersfield Best Mild Pub competition.
It is the first time landlord Peter Grimes has won this award.
He will be presented with his certificate by Huddersfield and District Camra secretary Val Kemp on Monday.
Camra judges said Mr Grimes had a reputation for making good bitter and mild taste even better through good cellarmanship, correct serving practices and a high turnover.
As well as quality beer, Camra looked for atmosphere when choosing the winner.
The Flyboat, a former watering hole for barge workers, is a favourite with Huddersfield football and rugby league fans on match days.
On the other six of the week it returns to being a traditional, back street pub, offering quiz nights and live music.

Dr. Gary Slater's research addresses interactions between science, philosophy, and religion, with a focus on how certain types of logic may be applied to mediate religious conflict, as well as how one can gain insights from history without denying the historical dimension of one's own perspective.
Gary Slater is a graduate of the University of Oxford with a DPhil in Religion and Theology. His academic interests include theological ethics, history of religions, philosophical theology, interfaith dialogue, and graphic representations of religious practices. Broadly speaking, his interest within these domains falls under the aim of "facilitating religious interpretation," with the term "religious" referring both to interpretation that is about religion and that which is religious itself. His first monograph is C.S. Peirce and the Nested Continua Model of Religious Interpretation (OUP, 2015).
I think of my teaching in terms of two things: energy and agency. By putting energy into the teaching of great ideas and texts, I aim not only to convey my excitement in a way that students can share, but also to give students the agency to continue the learning process for themselves.

US Beefing Up Missile Defenses
The United States intends to spend nearly $1 billion to deploy an additional 14 anti-missile interceptors in Alaska in the next four years in order to bolster the defense of the US homeland against a limited long-range ballistic missile attack from North Korea or Iran, announced Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. This action comes amidst the North Korean regime's recent bellicose statements, its success last December in orbiting a small satellite from a long-range rocket, and its recent nuclear test, Hagel told Pentagon reporters at a March 15 briefing. Under the plan, the Defense Department will install these ground-based interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska, by the end of Fiscal 2017, bringing the total number of deployed GBIs to 44, when including those already in Alaska and California, he said. The United States will also station a second AN/TPY-2 X-band tracking radar in Japan, said Hagel. The Pentagon will also, per Congress' mandate, conduct environmental impact studies of a potential additional GBI site in the United States, he said. Finally, the United States is abandoning the plan to deploy Standard Missile-3 IIB missiles in Europe as part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach ballistic missile defense architecture, in part to help pay for the additional GBIs, said Hagel. Protection of Europe will not suffer under this change, he asserted. (Hagel's prepared remarks) (Hagel-Miller-Winnefeld transcript)

Imagine, it started from a morning devotion. If you are familiar with Nccf, you can tell how terrible we look on those mornings, faces swollen, mouth smelling, eyes dull….and yet that was how I couldn't get Kunle out of my mind as he led the exhortation that morning. For goodness sake, I had seen him at his best. The Sunday mornings in his lovely Ankara attire, Monday mornings in his crispy ironed shirts and Thursday in his khaki uniform.
I had forgotten that I shared a room with seven other ladies. I smiled and reached for the broom from behind the door and set to commence my morning duty.
Nothing changed. The more I fought the desires, the stronger it stayed. I was getting really worried. I remember doing something so stupid. Mama, our sisters co-ord, had asked me to tell the brothers in the chapel-a small room where we had our bible study and sunday meetings- that dinner was ready. I stumbled into Kunle at the entrance and suddenly I was tongue tied. He smiled at me.
My mouth disgraced me that day. I stared at him and couldn't talk. He looked at me puzzled.
I rushed into the ladies room and kicked at everything that crossed my path. Frustrated, I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the house. I went straight to my mentor's house. I was crying as I narrated my predicament. I wanted Kunle put of my mind.
How could I have feelings for a man who didn't take a little as a glance at me. Was it not last week that my best friend, Ibukun, had broken down on the phone because the man she had been silently praying would make a move ended up proposing to the Senior Pastor's daughter?
My mentor prayed with me that night but it still didn't help my troubled mind. That night I lay on the bed and hugged my pillow.
Lord, I am confused. Please take this desire away. Help me to be focused on you. Please Lord. I don't know what to call this…but my heart longs for him everyday…I can't help myself.
The day I knew I had to take a decision very quickly was when I noticed Mama's growing interest in Kunle. She served his food differently and took it to him even though he insisted on getting it from the kitchen by himself.
After dinner, she sat beside him as he talked with the other brothers. When he showed up in the kitchen to help, she worked herself to the bones and refuse help from anyone until she was fagged out… It was glaring to all that Mama was in love. The ladies gossiped about it and the men cheered mama whenever he came around. I felt like a big fat fool.
I still couldn't get him away from my thoughts. So I decided that for my sanity, I had to move out of the family house to a friend's place. That evening, I returned from work to hear that Mama had been crying all day.
Chichi, who we called the baby of the house, told me she had seen Kunle and Mama in the chapel talking and after a while Mama returned to the room in tears. She had refuses to tell anyone what had happened.
Lovers fight, I concluded. After all, there was no relationship without misunderstanding.
I began to throw my things into my box.
Just as I stepped out of the entrance when my 'family members' bombarded me with questions.
When I explained that I was moving to a friend's place, they grabbed my box and shoved it back into the house.
Kunle stood afar off, watching the drama unfold.
I stood there, confused. One of my roommates wrapped her hand around my neck and playfully pulled me back into the house.
I decided to stay. Thankfully, it was few weeks to his passing out parade. He'd soon be gone before I knew it. I prayed every night asking God to help my emotions and as I turned my attention towards developing my relationship with him, my soul became very calm and still.
I held on to those words as if my life depended on it.
Two weeks later, I was in the kitchen alone chopping onions. A brother was fanning the fire under a large pot outside. Some others were shredding vegetables. Two sisters peeled yams. Two other brothers were at the well fetching water. They were all laughing and chatting as they worked. I stood by the window listening to them and enjoying the conversation.
I froze. My body vibrated. I turned.
'Can I help you with that?' Kunle didn't take his eyes away from me.
I nodded, offering him some of the onions. He stood beside me and we worked in silence.
I didn't sleep well that night and the night afterwards. So many thoughts ran through my mind.
I can never forget the words he said to me that Friday afternoon.
That night I went back to God.
Then one night, I was reading from the bible when I remembered that the following day was the ordination service for new executives. I remembered the NCCF rule. If I become the mama of the fellowship, I must remain in the same state until I step down from my position as the sister co-ord. That means I would never be able to give Kunle an answer until I handed over. I sat up quickly and picked up my phone. I dialed his number.
Stifle your urges if you must…Don't chase love. Let love find you.
This is a beautiful story ma.
Interesting piece with a timely nugget: Let love find you.
You are welcome sis. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Awww!! Beautiful story. Lesson learned.
So, even thoughts of attraction could be brought under the obedience of Christ?!
Yes it can…We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Am a new follower of your write up but trust me it's always wonderful when I read this stories. God bless you ma!
Please, Is this advice for Sisters??
This is really for me.
"Don't ever assume someone loves you until they say so…" this got me.
God bless you more abundantly ma.
Exactly…assumption can be emotionally draining.
Sis, you know what makes your write-ups beautiful, inspiring and fantastic ? The fact that we can relate! they resonate, they are confirmations and affirmations to what God ministers to us at different times.. God bless you a million fold and cause men to honor you IJN.

Il Bagism è una satira del pregiudizio, dove una persona qualunque, celata all'interno di un sacco e quindi nascosta alla vista degli altri, non può essere soggetta a giudizi dettati dal suo aspetto fisico. Tale concetto fu inventato da John Lennon e Yoko Ono come parte della loro campagna per la pace mondiale di fine anni sessanta. L'intento del bagismo era di mettere in ridicolo i pregiudizi e gli stereotipi di qualsiasi tipo. Il termine deriva dal vocabolo Bag che in lingua inglese significa letteralmente "sacchetto, borsa, sacco"; e in pratica "consiste nel coprirsi interamente con un sacco". Secondo John & Yoko, chiuso in un sacco, un individuo non può essere giudicato dagli altri in base al colore della pelle, al sesso, alla lunghezza dei capelli, all'abbigliamento, all'età, o qualsiasi altro attributo. Fu presentato come una forma di comunicazione totale: invece di focalizzarsi sulle apparenze, l'ascoltatore avrebbe recepito solo il messaggio della persona chiusa nel sacco.

Origini e scopo
John & Yoko introdussero l'idea durante una conferenza stampa a Vienna, il 31 marzo 1969, e l'approfondirono nel corso di un'intervista rilasciata dalla coppia a David Frost il 14 giugno 1969. Il bagism riflette gli stravaganti, spensierati e spesso comici sforzi di John & Yoko nel promuovere la pace, come i loro Bed-In. Attirando l'attenzione delle masse con le sue bizzarre premesse, il bagism presentò un serio messaggio politico e sociale al mondo. Come disse Lennon: «Io e Yoko siamo abbastanza disposti ad essere i pagliacci del mondo;
se con questo possiamo fare del bene».

Yoko disse che il bagism si ispirava alle tematiche del racconto Il piccolo principe di Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, secondo il quale "uno vede giustamente solo con il cuore, l'essenziale è invisibile agli occhi". Lei sperava che il sacco (nascondendo fisicamente lei e John), avrebbe facilitato l'essenza del loro messaggio.

The Alchemical Wedding
La coppia era già apparsa in pubblico dentro un sacco, al The Alchemical Wedding, una raduno di artisti underground, tenutosi alla Royal Albert Hall di Londra alla fine del 1968. L'evento era stato organizzato da Arts Lab e BIT, che volevano sfidare il pubblico ad essere partecipe piuttosto che consumatore passivo. John & Yoko salirono sul palco chiusi dentro un grande sacco di colore bianco, si sedettero a gambe incrociate, vicini, si abbracciarono e rimasero lì senza fare niente. Si mossero solo due volte in 45 minuti.

Il bagism nelle canzoni di John Lennon
Il bagism è menzionato in tre occasioni in canzoni di John Lennon. La prima volta in The Ballad of John and Yoko dove John canta la strofa: «eating chocolate cake in a bag» ("mangiando torta di cioccolato in un sacco"), un riferimento alla conferenza stampa di Vienna, e la seconda nel brano Come Together, dove canta: «He bag production». Quest'ultimo era un riferimento alla Bag Productions Ltd, la società di pubbliche relazioni di Lennon, che derivava il proprio nome da Bagism, appunto. La terza volta in Give Peace a Chance, nella strofa: «Everybody's talkin' about Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism, This-ism, That-ism, ism, ism, ism».

I videoclip musicali di Nobody Told Me (al minuto 3:02) e Mind Games (versione 1992, minuto 2:15) includono entrambi un breve segmento dove si vede una persona che indossa un sacco nero, interamente coperta tranne che per i piedi, mentre cammina lungo Kings Road a Londra.

Usi recenti

Nel 2006, il Liverpool John Lennon Airport mise sulle vetrate all'ingresso degli adesivi con le parole "Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism". Tale iniziativa si inseriva in una più ampia diffusione di vari stralci dei testi di canzoni di Lennon all'interno dell'aeroporto.

Q: Saving the forms desktop location and size I am using winforms and I want to save the desktop location and size of the form when the user changes either. I found some useful code and put that in the form closing event and form load event to save and load the size and location respectively.
However, when the user directly shuts down the PC without closing the program first the changed size and location is not saved.
Therefore I used the same code in the size changed and location changed events but it does not work and size and location are not changed when the program restarts.
private void frmScopeStatus_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowState", this.WindowState);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowSizeH", this.Size.Height);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowSizeW", this.Size.Width);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("LocationX", this.DesktopLocation.X);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("LocationY", this.DesktopLocation.Y);
}

 private void frmScopeStatus_LocationChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowState", this.WindowState);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowSizeH", this.Size.Height);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("WindowSizeW", this.Size.Width);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("LocationX", this.DesktopLocation.X);
    Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("LocationY", this.DesktopLocation.Y);
}

A: You can provide Application Settings data bindings of User scope to store these values.

*

*Open your form in designer

*Go to form properties Data > (Application Settins) group

*Add databining for Location (and ClientSize) property (scope User)

*On FormClosing event save changed properties Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
This will create for each user of your application file (at %SYSTEMDRIVE%/Users/{username}/AppData/Local/CompanyName/AppName) with user settings, which will be applied when application starts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <userSettings>
        <AppName.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="FormLocation" serializeAs="String">
                <value>345, 234</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="FormSize" serializeAs="String">
                <value>458, 555</value>
            </setting>
        </AppName.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration>

BTW I think FormClosed event is better for saving application settings.

Dyer Davis is Making a Scene
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dyer Davis
As a child Dyers' father, also a musician, turned him on to the music of the 60's and 70's. The artists that spoke to him the most were the blues-based rockers, especially the early Jeff Beck records featuring Rod Stewart. This instilled in him the importance of the blues as the key foundation of the music he was drawn to.
What surely separates Dyer from other blues rockers is his exceptional soulful voice, tasteful guitar playing, and strong writing ability. Davis is a natural performer with the charisma and chops to entertain any audience, either solo or with his high energy trio. In late 2021, Dyers long-time supporter, producer/engineer, Billy Chapin (Don Henley, Sister Hazel), reached out to award-winning producer, WildRoots Records Stephen Dees to consider co-producing and co-writing with them. After a couple of sessions Dees was completely won over by Dyers' talent and engaging personality. So much so that Stephen invited Dyer to perform on the WildRoots latest release "WildRoots Sessions Volume 2". Dyer delivers a stunning vocal on the track "The Bad Seed", one of the top tracks off the album.
Now a part of the WildRoots Records team, Dyers' debut recording "Dog Bites Back" features guests; Grammy nominated Victor Wainwright (keys), Billy Dean (drums), Stephen Dees (bass), and Patricia Ann Dees (saxophone), with Billy Chapin (guitar) and Dyers' trio David Weatherspoon (drums) & Jacob Barone (bass) and special guests Stan Lynch (The Heartbreakers – drums), Doug Woolverton (trumpet), & Mark Earley (bari sax)

Q: Overriding a method of data.table - failing to perfectly forward arguments I'm able to successfully modify the behaviour of [.data.frame, but fail to do so for [.data.table.
For data.frame:
# Exact same signature as "[.data.frame" :
"[.my.data.frame" <- function (x, i, j,
                               drop = if (missing(i)) TRUE
                                      else length(cols) == 1) {
  if(!missing(j) && j==8 ) {
    cat("Oy vey\n")
  }
  NextMethod()
}

df <- data.frame(a=1,b=2)
class(df) <- c("my.data.frame", class(df))

# Works as expected:
df[1,2]  # 2
df[1,8]  # Oy Vey    NULL
df[1,]   # 1 2

However, for (the considerably more complicated) data.table:
# Exact same signature as "[.data.table" :
"[.my.data.table" <- function (x, i, j, by, keyby, with = TRUE, nomatch = getOption("datatable.nomatch"),
                               mult = "all", roll = FALSE,
                               rollends = if (roll == "nearest") c(TRUE, TRUE)
                                          else if (roll >= 0) c(FALSE, TRUE) else c(TRUE, FALSE),
                               which = FALSE, .SDcols, verbose = getOption("datatable.verbose"),
                               allow.cartesian = getOption("datatable.allow.cartesian"),
                               drop = NULL, on = NULL) {
  if(!missing(j) && j==8 ) {
    cat("Oy vey\n")
  }
  NextMethod()
}

dt <- data.table(a=1,b=2)
class(dt) <- c("my.data.table", class(dt))

dt[1,2]   # ERROR:  i is not found in calling scope and it is not a column of type logical. When the first argument inside DT[...] is a single symbol, data.table looks for it in calling scope.

I know better than to pass arguments to NextMethod. It looks like I must call [.data.table explicitly, capture and pass the arguments as unevaluated promises - but all my attempts with quote, substitute or match.call have so far failed.   Any insight would be appreciated.

A: I've found a partial solution, posting here in hope someone might improve on it.
"[.my.data.table" <- function (x, ...) {

  # Modifications and tests galore - which can be tricky with this signature

  class(x) <- class(x)[-1]
  ret <- x[...]
  class(x) <- c("my.data.table", class(x))
  ret
}

I still consider this partial, because actually doing something in the function probably involves at least something like arglist <- list(...), and this fails when [ is called like this -
dt[1,]

Other directions are still very welcome.

Kim Norvell, Des Moines Register Published 1:55 p.m. CT July 11, 2019
Even Burger King employees can't tell the difference between the meatless Impossible Whopper and the original. Time
I am not vegan, but the East Village's newest restaurant, Dirt Burger, will be on my regular lunchtime rotation.
Dirt Burger, which opened in June, is a fast-casual concept serving burgers, fries and sodas with a focus on veganism, simplicity and sustainability. The food is great for vegans and non-vegans alike who are looking for a feel-good, quick and inexpensive meal.

Dirt Burger has six burgers to choose from. Each is made with the signature patty, which contains about 20 ingredients including chickpeas, buckwheat and other ground vegetables.
All are served on a brioche bun, but other options, including whole wheat and gluten-free buns, are available.
I ordered the Austin BBQ ($7), which has barbecue sauce, vegan cheddar, quick pickled cabbage, red onion and fried jalapenos. The patty itself is packed with flavor, and the vegan cheese was surprisingly melty and creamy. The burger could have used more of the barbecue sauce and a handful of its other toppings, but it was by no means lacking taste.

My dining partner ordered the Bombay Burger ($7) which has a Mumbai curry spiced patty, green chili "yogurt" and papadum chips. The patty was just the right amount of spice, and the chips gave a nice contrasting crunch to the softer burger and bun.
Dirt Burger's patty does have a veggie taste. It's unlike the Impossible Burger or the Beyond Burger, which are meant to taste like beef.
We both opted to add a side and drink to our meals. Fries and a soda cost $3, while adding the signature dirt balls and a soda costs $3.50.
The fries are hand-cut. The dirt balls — a potato croquette with quinoa and flax — were the star of the show, especially dipped in the homemade Parmesan ranch. We compared them to a fried mashed potato, in both taste and texture.

We also decided to try a side of the broccoli and Brussels sprout salad ($4) with dried apricot and green goddess dressing. It was deliciously earthy and sweet. I would go back for a full-size ($6) as a meal (with dirt balls, of course).
My dining partner, a vegetarian for 15 years, and I — who've dabbled in vegetarianism since college, but loves a traditional beef burger — both enjoyed our meals. We felt full and satisfied, but still ready to take on the rest of the workday.
Like its food, the restaurant is clean, simple and inviting. Located in the former Tacopocalypse, it has a walk-up counter and room for about 40 diners.
We ate at Dirt Burger around noon on a weekday, just a few weeks after it had opened. Nearly every table was full of diners and there was a line at the counter. Despite that, we got our food fairly quickly and we were out of there and back downtown in an hour.
All of the restaurant's packaging is compostable. Staff clears tables to ensure it's all sorted properly.

Stephanie Phair, who helped launch The Outnet at the Net-a-Porter group, has been appointed chief strategy officer at UK-based e-comm platform Farfetch, effective today. She reports to CEO, José Neves, and is responsible for leading Farfetch's global strategic direction, innovation, M&A, corporate development, and P&L for new business lines.
From 2009 to 2015, Phair was on the executive team at Net-A-Porter group, and before that worked at Issey Miyake, American Vogue, and Portero. She currently serves as an advisor for venture capital firm Felix Capital and sits on the board of Moncler SpA.
"Her extensive knowledge of the global e-commerce landscape along with the operational and strategic vision that comes from having built-up and scaled a global business will be a vital asset to ensure sustainable long-term growth, as we continue to expand," said Neves of Phair's appointment.
"We believe this is the beginning of big changes to come in this industry," Neves added. "That is why it is critical we remain a revolutionary business with our minds clearly focused on innovation. Stephanie's new CSO role ensures that the future and where the customer is headed remains at the core of what we do. While Farfetch's strategy is clear, as a business we need to keep evolving and will benefit from Stephanie as a champion of innovation at the highest level."
While there's speculation that Farfetch is gearing up for an IPO, Neves told BoF that the company plans for it eventually, but "would not consider it until the next two to three years." Farfetch began as a marketplace for luxury boutiques, and since its inception in 2007, it has launched a kidswear vertical, and created e-comm sites for Manolo Blahnik, Christopher Kane, and AMI Paris via Farfetch Black & White, becoming a major platform for retailers and brands.
