  1. So Many Different Symptoms I Don't Know What Is Going On

    I can definitely relate! I have had every weird symptom, sometimes all at once, sometimes different ones at different times... severe back pain for 8+ months, tummy ache/upset/constipation, ongoing joint pain, mood issues, heart palpitations, headaches, brain fog, memory issues, panic, depression and anxiety, acid reflux, loss of sex drive, on and on... I thought I was losing it, and sometimes still wonder how I started to piece it all together. I did THREE elimination diets, and blood tested for celiacs and when it came back negative I started eating gluten again thinking it must be something else, but my body said no BIG time, and as soon as I removed gluten I started to heal somewhat.    Sometimes, though, when the body is so damaged after years of unknown damage, it can react to things that never were a problem before. I really recommend just eating as simple as you can, fruits and veg and meat if you can tolerate them. For me, I have been sensitive to onions, but am hopeful that after some healing that will go away. My "safe foods" are things like apples, grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs, and most veggies. I literally keep apples in my purse so I dont get into a bad spot and eat something I shouldnt. You just have to give in to prepping your own food for a while... the harder you fight it, the longer it takes to heal. I eat a giant salad every day at lunch, sounds lame but then in a week or less I started craving them. Trust me, your body wants whole real foods right now.   So I advise you to stay away from processed foods, maybe even chocolate, and just let your tummy get better. Dont worry so much about an "official diagnosis", just listen to your body. Of course, get the tests when you can, but eating super clean will help...
  2. This Is All New To Me

    I am recently self diagnosed as gluten sensitive after 3 go rounds with elimination diets, but not with celiacs officially. Although my symptoms tend to "creep up" over time, rather than hitting me like a bus as they do with some people, I have to say I deeply relate to the mood issue you are describing with your daughter. I know it must be rough being on the receiving end of that from a 7 year old, but as a 31 year old woman I was shocked how out of control my emotions were while in the throws of things, and even now as I continue to heal. Just hang in there, it gets better as she starts to feel better.   I have found that being insanely strict about what I eat is the only way I TRULY get relief from those mood swings. Just remember that she may not even realize shes reacting this way. I didnt, even as a grown adult... anxiety and confusion kind of just have a way of taking over, and you just go into a survival mode almost. There may be a lot of symptoms she cant even vocalize, or doesnt know how to describe that just bring her down.... mine included several back pain for 8 months straight, stomach pain/upset etc, ear ringing, constant back pain, brain fog, memory issues, lots of anger and bad moods, worsened cramps, constant urge to crack my joints, racing pulse, increased yeast issues, fatigue .... the list goes on... I found introducing kombucha tea (GT's kombucha is my favorite) helps expedite the healing process for me as it is a fermented tea that increases the good bugs in the stomach. It is an acquired taste, but my 7 year old god daughter loves it because I make it out like its a treat. Strawberry is highly recommended ;)    Youre doing great... this is VERY normal especially for a little one who doesnt get whats happening to her body.

arashmarahel180 July 14, 2010 13:08

laminar velocity profile
I need urgent help
I simulate a pipe with 100 micron diagonal, there is water inside pipe. the inlet velocity is 0.4 m/s, it's on laminar regime. when I plot velocity profile on output, it shows maximum velocity is 0.6 m/s. it's wrong because in laminar regime maximum velocity is 2*(Average velocity). plz help me to solve this problem

best regard

thecfduser July 14, 2010 16:59

refine ure mesh.
Maybe a double precision solver will help.

arashmarahel180 July 15, 2010 04:17

Hi dear friend
I use double precision solver and it still has error
Plz help me to solve this
best regards

thecfduser July 15, 2010 14:59

Refine ure mesh. Use a finer mesh and compare with the first one.
u do the same thing untill u get the same solution.
If u want to have the real solution of Navier STokes, use a boundary layer mesh also.

Remember that a solution that is not independant of the mesh size, is never so usefel in CFD.

arashmarahel180 July 15, 2010 15:15

thanks for ur answer
I want to simulate 2D rectangular channel, when I draw velocity profile on outlet it shows wrong maximum velocity
can u help me?

thecfduser July 15, 2010 15:17

How can u simulate a rectangular channel in 2D?????????????????????????????

arashmarahel180 July 15, 2010 15:30

excuse me I'm new in fluent
my thesis is about simulation microchannel with rectangular cross section
Do u think it is not possible to simulate it in 2D?

chaozhong.qin July 15, 2010 15:42

Regarding your case, i have two comments:
First, why do you want to simulte this problem? In fact analytical solution exists, if your case is single-phase, laminar flow.

send, when you can simplify a 3D to 2D, it means in third direction you can extend your geometry without limitation(no viscous effect), hence, for your case, you can not use 2D model.

Anyway, I hope it is useful to you.

thecfduser July 15, 2010 15:46

yes as chaozhong says, u cant extend ure geometry.
Unless the width of ure channel can be considered as infinity...

Anyway, flow in rectangular channel is highly complex because u have secondary and corner vortices motion. It stills an actual theme of research.

U have analytical solution for the laminar case only.

Ask me if u still need something

chaozhong.qin July 15, 2010 15:59

Thanks for your indication about this field.

I thought it was just a straigh channel with regular cross-section.

Good Luck!

arashmarahel180 July 16, 2010 13:24

thanks for ur answering, actually my M.s thesis is about microcahnnel. I have to simulate a microchannel with rectangular cross section. it has 4 velocity inlet and flow must be fully developed. when I simulate it with 0.4 m/s it showed maximum velocity is 0.6m/s and it must be 0.8
can u help me?

thecfduser July 16, 2010 13:38

yes i can help u. No problem.
U must get 0.8 m/s for a fully developped laminar flow in a CIRCULAR channel. Not in a rectangular one.
I think u have a very bad professor that is helping u in this thesis.....

Get ure solution in a rectangular channel. Do anothere grid finer than the first and look if the solution is the same.

chaozhong.qin July 16, 2010 14:32

In fact velocity profile is not so sensitive to your mesh, not like the pressure drop.

Of course, you could use the hagen-poiseuille law to obtain the velocity profile.

arashmarahel180 July 17, 2010 04:33

thank u so much
I attach picture of my microchannel, I obtain the analytical solution for velocity profile in rectangular channel, velocity profile in inlets agreed with analytical solution but when two inlet join together, the velocity profile doesn't agree with theory, I don't know how should I do?

thecfduser July 17, 2010 08:44

i didnt understood ure geometry...where are the inlets??
what is ure Re???

Anyway look what u must do:
monitor variables in a point inside the domain and see how it behave. See if this variable become constant or if it do a cyclic behavior.

mechiebud October 15, 2015 09:26

Hi I am new in CFD and writing code for laminar channel flow in 2D. But I am not able to decide the boundary and intitial conditions like u,v and pressure. I have used Poissuile formula for u velocity. But hot to initialize v and pressure. Thanks

bgp723 October 16, 2015 12:08

If you don't define any local friction factor UDF for a 2D rectangular channel, you are effectively simulating a flow between two infinite parallel plates.
In that case, 0.6m/s is correct (Umax = 3/2*Umean for flow between two infinite parallel plates).

I have also noticed that for finer meshes, it takes many iterations (in the order of few thousands) to reach the theoretical value. For example, for one of the cases I was studying, with about 5000 iterations for ~400x1000 (Ny x Nx) , my Vmax/Vmean was around 1.3. But when I ran it for about 20000+ iterations, it converged to 1.5.

I have a meshed femur (thigh bone),

I ultimately want to be able to assign variable Young's Modulus values to the bone, dependent on the CT scan intensity. Or at least some sort of varied Young's Modulus higher at the surface and lower in the centre.

I know one can use setFields utility to assign values (as in the newStressedFoam, damBreak etc tutorials). But setFields seems to only be able to assign value to simple geometry regions.

I will probably just have to mess around with setFields,

but if anybody has done anything similar
or if anybody has any tips,
they would be much appreciated.

Making it Official: Stamps sign QB Adrian McPherson

CFL.ca Staff

CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have added depth behind centre, officially announcing the signing of quarterback Adrian McPherson Tuesday.

“I’m very pleased to be able to add a quarterback with Adrian’s experience and skill set,” said Hufnagel. “As we saw last season, depth at the quarterback position is vital and I believe Adrian provides excellent competition.”

McPherson played five seasons with the Montreal Alouettes (2008-12) before signing with the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm in 2013. In five seasons and 80 regular-season games with Montreal, where he served as Anthony Calvillo’s backup and the short-yardage quarterback, McPherson recorded 1,035 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. He completed 145 of 243 passing attempts for 1,505 yards and 10 touchdowns.

McPherson played eight post-season games for the Alouettes and was a member of Grey Cup-winning teams in 2009 and 2010.
With Tampa Bay in 2013, McPherson accounted for 90 touchdowns — 59 throwing and 31 rushing. Prior to coming to Montreal, he also spent time with Arena league teams in Indiana, Austin and Grand Rapids. He was selected in the fifth round (152nd overall) by the New Orleans Saints in the 2005 National Football League draft.
The six-foot-three, 220-pound native of Bradenton, Fla., played two seasons at Florida State before turning pro.
“The Stampeders have been one of the top teams since I first came to the CFL and I’m excited to come to Calgary,” said McPherson. “I look forward to meeting my new teammates and to working with Coach Hufnagel and Coach Dickenson.”

Manhattan Romantic

Need a classic, classy, somewhat romantic bar for a Friday night drink

Need a classic, classy, somewhat romantic bar for a Friday night drink

Have to remain anonymous for this one | Apr 18, 2005 10:50 PM

I want to take my boyfriend out for a drink the evening before his birthday, and need advice.

The man: A guy in his 30s who loves classic cocktails, classic New York, and appreciates stylish/elegant spots, but loathes places that are overly "scene-y" or too loud. He enjoys fine bourbon and single malt scotch, and likes chatting with bartenders (as do I).

I want to take him somewhere where the drinks are great, the bartenders competent, and the atmosphere fun and grown-up. Somewhere where we can have a conversation and won't be shoved and bumped into, or have to yell to hear each other. Somewhere potentially - but not overtly - romantic (nothing theme-y please.)

Angels' Share is out - we're not fans. The Campbell apt. would have been fine but is too smoky, and they play corny music.

A hotel bar would be fine so long as it meets the above criteria.

Location: Anywhere south of midtown (including midtown - east or west).

I've never been to Temple Bar, but is it VERY "sexy"? I don't want to create an atmosphere of romantic expectation (like I want him to propose or something - god forbid!), more of relaxation and enjoyment.

New Wing Sing in the Sunset.

Yimster | Oct 5, 2003 09:37 PM

The last couple of weeks I have spent a lot of time in the uppper Sunset. New Wing Sing has two location on on Judha and 9th the other in Chinatown on Stockton. New Wing Sing is one of the better take out place in San Francisco.

The normal price of take out dim sum in Chinatown is 3 for either 1.00 or 1.10. The location on Judha is have a dim sum sale the price is 4 for a buck. You need to get there early in the day because dim sum that sits too long is not a good thing. Also they sell quart size jook (pork and preserved egg) for 1.75.

Take advanace of this sale. This one of the few times you can beat Chinatown prices.

Swiss, French & Italian peaks, August 2015

I'm working for ten days with two clients, Geoff & Nicola, and their original aim was a Monte Rosa & Matterhorn ten-day programme. The plan included six hut nights and the following summits:
Weismiess (4023m)
Breithorn (4164m)
Pollux (4092m)
Castor (4228m)
Liskam (4527m)
Monte Rosa: Zumsteinspitze (4563m) and/or Dufourspitze (4634m)
Matterhorn (4478m)

After couple of days, and for various reasons, we changed the programme, and so far this is what we have done:

Sunday 16th August
Walked from the Saas valley (Switzerland) to the Almageller hut - one of my favourites

Monday 17th August
Ascent of the Weismiess (4023m) from the Almageller hut, and returned to the valley

Tuesday 18th August
Ascent of the Allalinhorn, returned to the valley and drove to Chamonix.

Wednesday 19th August
Ascent of the Aiguilles Crochues in the mist

Thursday 20th August
Ascent of the Cosmiques Arete from the Aiguille du Midi cable car, across the Helbronner cable car to spend the night in the Torino hut.

Friday 21st August
Ascent of the Tour Ronde from the Torino hut, and returned to the Chamonix valley

Israeli ADL objects to rabbis' letter on military force: Expresses concern over all civilian deaths

October 5, 2004

The Israel office of the Anti-Defamation League has taken issue with a letter from rabbis calling on the Israeli army to increase military force against the Palestinians even when this force could endanger innocent Palestinian civilians.

“The citizens of Israel have for too long experienced cruel terrorist atrocities and daily threats that indeed must be dealt with forcefully,” said the ADL in a prepared statement. “However, we mourn along with the majority of Israelis the injury and loss of any and all innocent civilians during the course of battle, regardless of national identity or religion.

“As in the past when similar statements were made by some rabbis and religious leaders, we remind ourselves and take pride in the fact that the IDF [Israel Defense Force] takes great pains to minimize civilian loss of life, often at its own peril and many times with tragic results.”

An editorial in the left-wing newspaper Ha’aretz also condemned the rabbis’ letter, made public in early September. “Murder and terror cannot be justified, and the Palestinians have missed more than a few opportunities to exploit periods of negotiations for political gain,” the newspaper said. “Nevertheless, the complete disregard of the broader aspects of the conflict makes the rabbis’ declaration both hollow and fanatic.”

Prominent rabbis wield a great deal of influence in right-wing circles. Israeli society is severely divided over how to combat terrorism, which has claimed almost 1,000 Israeli lives since the start of the Palestinian uprising four years ago.

The letter was sent to Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz by rabbinic heads of West Bank seminaries and members of the Rabbinical Council of the Yesha Council of Jewish settlements. It declared that “there is no war in the world in which it is possible to delineate entirely between the [civilian] population and the [enemy] army.” The rabbis said they based their opinion on Talmudic sources stating that it is permissible to take another life in self-defense. –Religion News Service

Poll: Mormons excited about Romney's rise, but wary of media

June 26, 2012

c. 2012 Religion News Service (RNS) Most Mormons in Utah believe that Mitt Romney's rise to become the likely GOP presidential nominee is a good thing for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But many do not trust the media to cover the church fairly, according to a new poll released Monday (June 25).

The study, conducted by Key Research and Brigham Young University's Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy, is believed to be the first to gauge Mormons' reaction to Romney's barrier-breaking achievement. He is the first Mormon to clinch the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party.

More than eight in 10 Utah Mormons said they are "very excited" or "somewhat excited" about Romney's feat. Nearly as many (77 percent) said his nomination is a good thing for the LDS church; just 2 percent told pollsters it was a negative development.

Utah Mormons do not differ in many respects from Mormons in other states, according to studies conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Kelly Patterson, a political science professor at Brigham Young University, said it is not clear whether the positive feelings toward Romney derive from shared faith or politics. Separate polls show that Mormons are more than twice as likely as other religious groups to vote Republican.

Despite their excitement about Romney, many Mormons remain wary of the media, according to the Key Research/BYU survey.

More than two-thirds of Utah Mormons said the Romney's nomination will bring bad and good publicity for the LDS church. An identical percentage (68 percent) said they do not trust the media to cover the church fairly.

"It seems like the excitement is higher than the dread," Patterson said, "even though many members of the LDS faith know that there will be some very uncomfortable moments during this campaign."

The survey, first published on the blog, Utah Data Points, is based on telephone interviews with 341 Mormons who are registered to vote in Utah. It was conducted June 12-19 and the margin of error is plus or minus 5.3 percentage points.

China Telecom debacle exposes Internet's biggest vulnerability

Roger Grimes | Nov. 29, 2010
Shortcomings in Border Gateway Protocol enabled sensitive data to be rerouted to China, yet no changes will likely be made.

Last April 8, for 18 minutes, a significant portion of Internet traffic, including that of U.S. government and military sites, was misrouted to China. Early estimates indicated 15 percent of all traffic was sent in the wrong direction, but that figure was misreported from the source document; rather, traffic from 15 percent of Internet sites was affected, which doesn't correlate to 15 percent of all Net traffic. (Craig Libovitz of Arbor Networks and both have good summary analyses of what happened.)

Whether it was 15 or only one percent of all traffic that was misrouted, the incident lays bare a huge Internet security vulnerability in BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), a routing protocol used by ISPs to direct backbone traffic around the Internet. BGP routing tables are used in a nearly fully meshed network among all ISPs in the world. It's not hyperbole to say this is the way the Internet works.

I used to think Dan Kaminsky's DNS flaw discoveries represented the No. 1 Internet security vulnerability of all time, but this BGP vulnerability essentially tops those. BGP is lower down in the OSI networking model, which means it has a greater chance to be used for evil.

Over the past two decades, we've seen a handful of major BGP routing snafus, most of which were attributed to human mistakes that were corrected when found. But as with previous threats involving China, no one knows if this rerouting was intentional or if the Chinese government was involved. Also, you have to think that if a government player was involved, the attack would be less obvious and more focused. Then again, the Stuxnet worm (which is highly likely to be city-state sponsored) quickly kills that argument as definitive.

We'd like to think that all the important and confidential information rerouted to China for those 18 minutes was protected in VPNs and secure tunnels. Unfortunately, confidential and important data is often sent out unprotected, and many VPNs and private tunnels aren't as secure as assumed. The most common VPN protocol (SSL/TLS) isn't. If the routing mistake wasn't accidental, there's a good chance the aggressors got access to a lot of information that people would rather they not.

My biggest concern about the BGP routing mishap is that it can easily happen again. There are steps each ISP can take to limit the impact of an unintentional (or intentional) routing change, but any plan that requires manual intervention isn't likely to be very effective.

Older protocols, including BGP, were built with the primary focus on getting multiple, disparate parties to communicate. The idea of implementing strong security wasn't high on the priority list. Retrofitting older protocols with improved security is a big task as well. To put it in perspective, it's taken two decades to win international approval to improve the underlying IPv4 to IPv6 and the infamously insecure DNS to DNSSec. We may have to wait yet another decade before they're widely deployed.

Enterprise IT Gains Cloud Sophistication

Enterprise IT Gains Cloud Sophistication

Importance of Hybrid Cloud Attributes  Any IT function relating to agility was rated highly important or somewhat important. Ability to access data in another cloud – 86%Ability to pool resources across multiple clouds – 85%Ability to move applications to a second cloud – 83%Run multi-tier applications across multiple clouds – 83%  Ability to Scale Out to a Second Cloud – 82%

The popular perception is that many IT organizations are resistant when it comes to cloud computing. However, a recent survey of 822 IT decision-makers in the U.S. conducted by the IT research firm Neovise on behalf of Virtustream, a provider of cloud management software, finds that organizations that embraced cloud computing a year or more ago are showing signs of increased cloud sophistication. Not only are most of them using multiple forms of cloud computing, but they are now looking to exercise more control over the components of a cloud regardless of where that cloud is operating. The survey finds that 54 percent of the IT managers have embraced cloud computing and that Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is the most widely used form of cloud computing. In terms of future deployment plans, on-premise private clouds are preferred by the largest percentage of IT organizations, but it's too early to say what cloud computing model may dominate IT or if any specific one will. Perhaps the best news from a CIO perspective is the survey clearly shows that when it comes to cloud computing as a new style of enterprise computing, one-third of IT organizations are well into the next phase of adoption.

Mike Vizard has been covering IT issues in the enterprise for 25 years as an editor and columnist for publications such as InfoWorld, eWeek, Baseline, CRN, ComputerWorld and Digital Review.

Families head outdoors to enjoy fall temperatures

Houstonians dust off sweaters and jackets

Headline Goes Here

BROOKSHIRE, Texas - It was a picture perfect fall day as temperatures in Houston area dipped into the fifties Sunday.

In Brookshire, truckloads of people spent the day bundled up at Dewberry Farm looking for the perfect pumpkin, while others were just looking for a break from a summer of oppressive heat.

"I like fall," said Stephanie Thapar.  "I teach and coach and so I dread driving the bus in the heat.  So, I'm excited for this little break we got."

For the first time in months, people all across Houston dusted off their sweaters and jackets and headed outside, finally free of the heat and humidity.

"Makes you feel relieved.  You can go outdoors and enjoy it," said Hans Griffin.

At Memorial Park, many runners wore several layers of clothing.  For many, the cooler weather was a welcome change.

"I'm going to enjoy it while it's here," said Kay Harnden.

HISD will have 4 new schools for new year

Headline Goes Here

HOUSTON - When HISD students head back to class, some will see some new changes at their schools.

Nearly 200,000 students will return to class for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 27. Students from five middle schools and four high schools in the district's Apollo 20 school turnaround program will get a one-week head start on Monday, Aug. 20, when their school year starts.

Four new school buildings will open for the first day of school. They include Carnegie Vanguard High School, Billy Reagan K-8 Education Center, Lockhart Elementary School and Neff Elementary School.

The Mandarin Chinese Language Immersion Magnet School at 6300 Avenue B in Bellaire will also be new this year. This is HISD's first Mandarin Chinese language immersion school. The school will initially serve students in kindergarten through second grade. Additional grades will be added later. Core subjects will be taught primarily in Mandarin Chinese with a certain amount of English language development instruction incorporated each day.

HISD is also offering students at six campuses the chance to earn associate's degrees and career training in high-demand technical fields. The Houston Innovative Learning Zone program (HILZ) was created in partnership with Houston Community College. The schools include Furr, Kashmere, Scarborough, Sterling, and Booker T. Washington high schools and Long Middle School. HILZ students will take courses taught by college professors. Any credits students earn will transfer to any public Texas university.

This school year HISD has a new and improved curriculum. It is aligned with state and national standards and will prepare students for the rigor of STAAR and other standardized tests. Other changes for teachers and principals include, a new literacy plan, a revamped K-5 English language arts curriculum, and continuing leadership training for principals.

Summary and Analysis Lines 837-1062

Warriors and chieftains from considerable distances gather at Heorot the next morning to marvel at the trophy, Grendel's claw, and to celebrate Beowulf's victory. Some follow the ogre's bloody footprints down to his lake where the water boils with Grendel's blood. On the way back to Heorot, Hrothgar's scopentertains the men with traditional songs as well as an improvised account of Beowulf's victory. Included is the story of Sigemund, an ancient hero who is recalled in honor of Beowulf. In contrast, the scop also sings of Heremod, a bad ruler who brought sorrow and death to his own people. Hrothgar gives a speech from the porch at Heorot and thanks God for Beowulf's triumph. Beowulf briefly recounts the battle, and even Unferth is impressed enough to keep silent. Work is begun to refurbish Heorot. A great feast is held in Beowulf's honor at which Beowulf and his men receive numerous gifts.

One of the themes of the poem is that man's fortunes change, and he should celebrate but take care when fortune seems to turn his way because disaster may visit soon. One must not tempt the gods of irony. The Geats and Danes unwisely assume that victory is complete with the death of Grendel. For now, however, everything is celebration. Warriors who trembled and hid from Grendel boldly track his footprints to the lake where he apparently has died. Scholars delight in the account of the scop's performance and his improvisation on the way back to Heorot. He tells the "great old stories" (869) in honor of Beowulf's victory, including the tale of courageous Sigemund, whose killing of the dragon foreshadows Beowulf's final battle and his death. The Beowulf poet thus subtly implies that all glory is fleeting and that death waits for all (1002 ff.). The scop's account of Heremod appears to be in contrast to Sigemund and a reminder of what can happen when a king goes bad. All of this is part of a celebration.

Back at Heorot, Hrothgar's praise of God, and only secondarily Beowulf, may seem intrusive in what is predominantly a heroic story. Some scholars feel that this passage indicates tampering or, at the very least, a genuflection by the poet or scribe who was ostensibly a Christian and probably educated by the Church. Beowulf's response mentions the will of God but frankly recounts his own courage. His only regret is that he could not present the king with a complete ogre body as trophy. His account drips with irony rather than gore, depicting the struggle in terms of hospitality. He wanted to "welcome my enemy" (969) with a firm handshake but was granted only a "visitor's token" (971), rather than a full corpse, when Grendel left "that dear gift" (973), his giant claw — a kind of macabre gratuity for services rendered.

The refurbishing of Heorot is interesting in its emphasis on brightness and light. In a land (Scandinavia) where winter is cold and dark while summer is unusually bright, it is understandable that light has a positive connotation. Beowulf has just mentioned "bright God" (979). God is light. Goodness is bright and shining in the poem. Grendel and the fen are dark and evil. Inside refurbished Heorot, the tapestry gleams; gold weaving shines on the walls; pictures shift in the light; the building itself shines.

Hrothgar's generosity is an indication of his character. Of course, he has much for which to be grateful. Although aged and no match for Grendel, his gifts to Beowulf and the other Geats are splendid. Beowulf receives a golden banner, helmet, and mail-shirt as well as a jeweled sword. All the items are laced with gold. In addition, he receives eight magnificent horses, with golden trappings that hang to the floor, and a gem-studded saddle. The other Geats receive various valuable heirlooms. The poet assures us of the generosity of the gifts.

War Risk Rises Sharply in Korea

Published on

War Risk Rises Sharply in Korea

The United States and the two feuding Koreas could blunder into a real war unless both Pyongyang and Washington cease provoking one another.

Last week, two nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers flew non-stop from America to South Korea, and then home. These ‘invisible’ aircraft can carry the GBU-43/B MOAB 13,600kg bomb that is said to be able to blast through 70 meters of reinforced concrete, putting North Korea’s underground nuclear facilities and its leadership’s command bunkers under dire threat.

Earlier this month, US B-52’s heavy bombers staged mock attack runs over South Korea – within minutes flying time of the North – rekindling memories of the massive US carpet bombing raids that devastated North Korea during the 1950’s Korean War. US-South Korean-Australian war games in March were designed to train for war with the North. The US media ignored these provocative exercises, but, as usual, North Korea went ballistic, foolishly threatening to attack the US with long-ranged missiles it does not yet possess.

We have grown jaded over the years by North Korea’s threats and chest-beating. But its recent successful nuclear test and work on a long-ranged missile have begun to add muscle to Pyongyang’s threats. No sooner was the new young North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, in power than the US, South Korea and Japan began testing him.

More important, the US-South Korea defense treaty calls on Washington to militarily intervene if war erupts between North and South Korea. Given present tensions, a border fight on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), commando raids by North Korea’s 110,000-man special forces, air or naval clashes could quickly lead to full war.

North Korea has repeatedly threatened to flatten parts of South Korea’s capitol, Seoul, using 11,000 heavy guns and rocket batteries hidden in caves along the DMZ. North Korean commandos and missile batteries are tasked with attacking all US airbases and command headquarters in South Korea. The 28,500 US troops based in South Korea will also be a primary target.

North Korea’s medium ranged missiles are aimed at US bases on mainland Japan, Okinawa and Guam. North Korea’s tough 1.1-million man army is poised to attack south. Massive US airpower would eventually blunt such an advance, but that would mean moving US warplanes from the Gulf and Afghanistan. The US Air Force’s stocks of bombs and missiles are perilously low and its equipment showing heavy wear and tear.

The US has become accustomed to waging war against small nations whose ‘threat’ has been wildly overblown: Grenada, Somalia, Iraq, Libya. The last real war fought by the US, against Vietnam, was an epic defeat for American arms. North Korea is not an Iraq or Libya.

North Korea’s air force and navy would be quickly destroyed by US and South Korean air power within days of war. But taking on North Korea’s hard as nails army will be a serious challenge if it fights on the defensive. Pentagon studies show that invading North Korea could cost the US up to 250,000 casualties. So the US would be clearly tempted to use tactical nuclear weapons. But North Korea vows to nuke Japan if the US goes nuclear. And there is the threat of Chinese intervention.

The US would be wise to back off from this confrontation and lower tensions with North Korea. America’s empty Treasury can’t afford yet another war, having already blown $2 trillion on the lost wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. America’s armed forces, bogged down in the Mideast and Afghanistan, are in no shape to fight a real war in Korea. Just moving heavy armor and guns there would take months.

Now might be a good time for Washington to ease rather than keep tightening sanctions on North Korea. Pyongyang’s real objectives are to gain a non-aggression treaty with the US and direct, normal relations. Washington won’t hear of this, though it deals with other repellant regimes. American neocons are determined to overthrow North Korea’s regime, fearing it will send advanced arms to Israel’s Mideast foes.

Military forces on the Korean Peninsula are on hair-trigger alert. Flying B-2’s near the North is almost daring it to attack. Diplomats, not air force generals, should be running this largely manufactured crisis.

10 Great Ways to Save on Business Insurance

One of the key components that managers often overlook when saving money is business insurance. For a serious business, it is vital to lower the costs as much as possible and increase revenue. As a result, most businesses tend to save money wherever they can. Insurance companies offer policies at different price points. Sometimes you may be spoiled for choice on a policy that is worth your money and that which is a waste of your limited budget. Therefore, it is important to understand the basic metrics of business insurance and determine how you can save money from it. Here are a few things to consider when saving on business insurance.

Shop around even if you have an existing policy

Be aggressive when it comes to shopping around because it will determine how much you save on business insurance. Shop with the local independent agents. The agents use different algorithms to produce varying quotes generated from the same information. From the algorithms, you can find lower rates than what you are currently paying for. It is a good idea to review your business insurance coverage after every one to three years. However, you need to determine whether your current insurance provider offers discounts and loyalty bonuses before you move.

Combine your coverage with BOP

Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) bundles several coverage together to form a single insurance plan. This is often graded at a lower price than when the business owner shops for the coverage separately. For instance, you can combine property, business interruption and liability insurances into one entity. However, you must be careful because some insurance providers to include auto and health insurance in their BOPs. Ask about the coverage they give under this plan. In most cases, you will have to buy the policies differently.

Minimize your risks

A responsible business owner does not need some insurance policies. A business can minimize the number of insured risks by carrying out an extensive training on safety and risk management. It will also reduce the possibility that you will make a claim. This will ensure that the premiums you have do not increase to uncontrollable rates.

Do not insure unnecessary risks

You must evaluate your protection and risks to determine which ones are worth insuring. Do a comprehensive review of your existing policy and get rid of any coverage you don’t need. If you don’t use a truck or any other vehicle for the business, don’t go for commercial auto insurance. If you don’t have workers, don’t go for worker or liability insurance. In short, don’t insure yourself against a risk you don’t face. In case you are unable to decide on which risk is worth insuring and which one to ignore, consult a professional insurance agent to help you get a cheap policy.

Increase the number of deductibles

A deductible is the amount of money you pay on your own when an insured risk occurs. A deductible has a direct effect on the amount of premium you pay for the coverage. The higher the deductible, the lower the premium. If you have fewer deductibles, the insurance company will charge higher premiums because they will have to part with a lot of money if the insured risk occurs. This means that increasing your deductibles is a good way to lower your insurance premiums. However, you should be careful when increasing the deductibles because you will have to pay for them if the risk occurs. A higher deductible will also discourage you from filing less significant claims.

Avoid filing smaller claims

Every insurance company loves a client who does not file claims. Some companies provide discounts and gifts to clients who have not filed a claim for a given period, usually in years. Therefore, try as much as possible to avoid filing small claims. Ask the company to provide you with a detailed report on your claims. Ask them if they provide any discounts to people who don’t file claims often. If they don’t, move to another company that can provide its client with loss runs. In some states, it is a must for insurance companies to provide their clients with discounts on loss runs.

Pay upfront

Change your payment method. You can reap a lot of saving benefits from paying your premiums upfront. Your insurance is already charging a fee for a payment plan privilege. You can save money on business insurance by reducing the final costs of a monthly payment plan. Paying upfront allows you to save for the next fiscal year. However, you need to be careful when paying upfront, especially if the business has cash flow problems. Talk with your accountant to determine whether it is financially safe to pay premiums upfront.

Look for the right provider

Get the right insurance provider or agent if you want to save money. A good insurance agent will help you to shop around and get the best quotes available. He or she will also help you evaluate the quotes and choose the right one. Don’t go for the cheapest quote because you could be in for a surprise when claiming. Be sure to contact a professional agent who is licensed by a recognized real estate institution.

Don’t be afraid to ask

Never be afraid to ask your insurance company about any discount on offer. Most companies give premium discounts annually. However, they often keep their clients on the dark to minimize the losses associated with discounts. Discounts can help you find a reduction in the cost of insurance, especially if you have a wide variety of coverage to finance. There are so many discounts available out there. The secret is to ask your provider. You can search online for listings. You can also look at publications that relate to the insurance industry to find out the companies with the best discounts on the market.

Buy many policies at once

Insurance companies often give discounts to those who buy multiple lines of coverage. If your insurance company has such provisions, you could save by purchasing liability and property coverage and combine them with auto and workers insurance.

Saving on business insurance is never an uphill task if you have the basics at your fingertips. These ten tips will help you save on business insurance significantly. If you have doubts, you can talk with a professional business insurance consultant for more insights.

Mammoth StarCraft II patch in the wild

Blizzard's version 1.2 StarCraft II patch updates the sci-fi real-time strategy and e-sports game

From chat channels to master leagues, stalemate detection, and a new 'extreme' graphics option, the latest StarCraft II patch is here and it's a doozy.

Blizzard released the roughly 80 MB patch last night, tweaking delicate variables like race balance, retooling the StarCraft II Editor, and tossing in a bunch of bug fixes for good measure.

So long 'blocking ramps with 2x2 buildings', it was nice knowing ya.

Other notable updates include customizable hotkey support, ability and upgrade information now displayed in a unit's help dialog, several organizational improvements to the match playback feature, system alerts moved to the top of the screen, and, finally, a way to quickly see how many harvesters are sapping a Vespene geyser: Click on a geyser and the game now displays the number.

You can scan the full list of changes here.

Microsoft: Switch to IE9, get free stuff

Tries to pump up new edition's numbers on Windows 7

Microsoft last Friday launched a promotion to convince more Windows 7 users to adopt Internet Explorer 9 (IE9).

Windows 7 users who download Microsoft's newest browser, then "pin" any of seven different websites to their taskbars, receive offers that range from a free month of Hulu Plus to a $5-off Fandango movie ticket.

Some of the offers are available immediately, while others launch later this month and during December.

When people running alternate browsers such as Google's Chrome or Mozilla's Firefox on Windows 7 visit the promotional site , they see the message, "Where's the love? ... Upgrade to Internet Explorer to pin these sites and get the free stuff."

Pinning, introduced in IE9, lets users add website shortcuts to the Windows 7 task bar for the same kind of easy access as locally-stored programs.

Users running Mac OS X who visit the free offers site see a different message: "Oh Nooooooo... You're using Mac OS which doesn't support Internet Explorer 9 and Site Pinning."

Windows XP users -- still the most widely-used version of Microsoft's operating system -- cannot upgrade to IE9. Microsoft has defended that ban even as IE's share has continued falling, calling the decade-old OS the "lowest common denominator" and not worthy of future browser development.

Microsoft has been aggressively pushing IE9 as the best browser for Windows 7, and has regularly touted that edition's gains in usage share even as other versions lose ground to Chrome and Apple's Safari.

According to Web metrics company Net Applications, IE9 accounted for 22.5% of the browsers running worldwide on Windows 7 during October, an increase of 1.4 percentage points from the month before. Only Microsoft's own IE8 sported a higher share.

Last month, IE overall lost the largest amount of usage share in three years, falling to 52.6%, putting Microsoft's browser in danger of slipping under the 50% mark as early as January 2012.

Atom editor now has native GitHub integration

The direct integration with the code-hosting platform to make things easier for devs -- but also ties them more closely to GitHub

GitHub’s Atom, the Node.js- and HTML5-powered code editor, has traditionally integrated with Git repositories—including GitHub itself—only by way of third-party components.

All that changed this week with the unveiling of a new core package for Atom, called appropriately enough GitHub for Atom, along with new release and beta editions of Atom itself.

GitHub users, dock here

The new edition of Atom, version 1.17, introduces a new UI component called “docks,” which is a way to provide side- or bottom-dockable tool panels in the editor. IDEs like Visual Studio and Eclipse have had dock-like components for some time, but now Atom is adding such a component as a core element.

Atom developers can take advantage of a high-level API for manipulating docks, so that “tool panels written by different package authors [can] coherently share screen real estate,” according to GitHub’s blog announcement.

One of the first add-ons to use the dock metaphor is GitHub for Atom. With it, a developer can use a side panel in whatever current view is in focus to stage changes, create commits, work with different code branches, and resolve merge conflicts.

Technically, GitHub for Atom is still a preview, so it’s been bundled with Atom’s 1.18 beta version rather than included in the latest full release. The core functions work, but many other integrations, like browsing pull requests in the side panel, are still under development.

Going with the (work)flow

It doesn’t seem likely that adding GitHub support directly into Atom will mean demand for a standalone desktop Git interface will dry up. To that end, GitHub’s own standalone desktop client, GitHub Desktop, has also been remade. It’s been rewritten using Electron, the same cross-platform desktop development library used by Atom, and was released as an open source project under the same liberal terms as Atom itself.

According to the GitHub Engineering blog, the main impetus for rewriting GitHub Desktop wasn’t just to make the app look better. It centered around creating a single codebase that could be deployed across multiple platforms (MacOS, Windows, and Linux) and customized where needed for platform-specific things like localization support.

Where GitHub sees the biggest appeal with GitHub for Atom, as opposed to GitHub Desktop, is with developers who don’t like to change applications in the middle of their workflow. Keeping everything in one interface “reduces context switching and increases productivity by bringing core workflow tools directly into your editor,” according to GitHub in its post.

Previous support for both Git and GitHub in Atom was largely ad-hoc. Individual packages supported specific Git functions, but there was little in the way of a single-package solution for all one’s Git needs. GitHub for Atom provides that, although at the cost of being more a GitHub solution than a general Git solution.

GitHub has long thought of Atom as a simple core, with all functionality provided by add-ons. With GitHub for Atom, there’s now the possibility that Atom will become all the more a delivery mechanism for offerings from GitHub’s own platform.

Versatile and highly sensitive, Contrinex photoelectric sensors deliver long-distance, non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic targets, accommodating variable target color and surface finish. High-frequency switching circuitry senses small, fast-moving objects, even against non-contrasting backgrounds. Photoelectric sensors direct light beams – emitted by a laser diode or LED – toward a distant target. Different operating principles detect either light reflected from the target (energetic-diffuse and background-suppression sensors) or the interruption of the beam by the target (reflex and through-beam sensors). Through-beam sensors utilize a separate receiver, allowing longer sensing distances. Other variants contain a transmitter and a receiver in a single housing. Conveying the light beam into confined spaces using optical fibers eliminates any electrical hazard at the sensing point, ideal for flammable atmospheres.

Dholera 'rooted' in post-2002 Gujarat riots legacy of breaking down communities, neighbourhoods, trust

Dholera "smart" city
By Our Representative
In one of the sharpest critiques of the Government of India’s (GoI’s) proposal to come up with 100 smart cities, a senior UK scholar on urban development has said that Gujarat's Dholera, which GoI proposes to develop as a model concept for other smart cities to follow, is nothing but a “new urban utopia” of post-colonial India.
Ayona Dutta, associate professor at the University of Leeds, involved in studying urbanization in India, has said, Dholera, proposed on 903 sq km land in Ahmedabad district, to be twice the size of Mumbai, reflects nothing but “large-scale expulsion of those that cannot fit into its smart city-based ‘high-tech strand of developmental utopianism’.”
Dutta, in her research paper, “New urban utopias of postcolonial India: ‘Entrepreneurial urbanization’ in Dholera smart city, Gujarat”, said, as against earlier “planned cities” like Chandigarh, Bhubaneshwar and Gandhinagar, Dholera symbolizes “a new trend in city building in India” which, instead of addressing existing social exclusions, “actually reinforces long-standing social inequalities.”
According to Dutta, Dholera is composed of “large-scale privatized residential neighbourhoods, commercial and business districts, a ‘private’ city at a gargantuan scale, producing a ‘new urban colonialism’.” In fact, it has been “planned in the image of a global Gujarat that rejects its local identity rooted in Gandhian principles.”
Thus, Dutta underlines, while making a break from cities like Gandhinagar, Gujarat capital, there is a need to understand how its concept was developed “in a larger context of a Gujarat reeling after the 2002 communal riots and the breaking down of communities, neighbourhoods and trust.”
Pointing out that none of the narratives on Dholera refer to “local history or the diversity of its social, cultural, religious or material landscapes” which exists in the region, Dhutta says, “Dholera fails to make connections with the postmodern realities of a plural India struggling to maintain communal relations.”
In fact, said Dutta, “Neither the plans nor videos of Dholera, nor the speeches of Narendra Modi, nor the lectures of Amitabh Kant, refer to actually existing Dholera, which remains as an absent presence, giving the impression of an empty backdrop, a tabula rasa – the perfect landscape in waiting for the smart city.”
Pointing towards the “roadblocks” Dholera faces amidst agitation against the special investment region (SIR) proposed on its 903 sq km land for building smart city led by Jameen Adhikar Andolan Gujarat (JAAG), Dutta says, quotes “several official reports” on flood assessment and biodiversity “that are potentially more concerning for the state.”
One of the reports, for instance, underlines “the high risk of flooding in Dholera, which means that it would cost over INR700 crore to do the necessarily engineering works for flood mitigation.” Then, Dholera is proposed on “the blackbuck habitat and would therefore lead to irreversible loss of biodiversity.”
Dutta concludes, “Dholera is the new urban utopia, whose fault lines are drawn in its very conceptualization, whose bottlenecks are written into the speed of its delivery and whose materialization as smart city requires the active dispossession of marginalised citizens.”

The Coventry punk scene was based on friendship and a love of music, according to one former skinhead.

Danny Fordham has happy memories of his days as a shaven headed youth, wearing his trademark Dr Martens boots and leather jacket.

Now running his own concrete business, Mr Fordham, of Coventry Street, Stoke, said: "The skinheads and punks would all hang out together. We were great friends.

"We would travel around the area going to all the gigs. It was the music that brought us together."

Mr Fordham followed Coventry punk and skinhead band Criminal Class for about five years.

Now 41 and happily married to wife Sharon, the heady days of punk seem a long time ago.

He said: "When I see it all on the television I cannot believe how long ago it was. I suppose it is getting old."

Mr Fordham has held on to a few brightly coloured records but his prize possession is a drum stick which belonged to Rat Scabies of The Damned.

The legendary stick was recently discovered in the loft of their home.

"It must have come from a gig at The Coventry Theatre or Tiffany's - I am not sure which. I remember crawling on stage and getting the stick though."

Another memorable moment was when Tony Wall, guitarist with popular homegrown band King, called round to Mr Fordham's family home in Walsgrave.

He said: "Mr Wall was a friend of a friend and I couldn't believe it when he called round one day for a cup of tea. The worst thing was that we had run out of milk. For me it was like having real royalty in the house."

Despite the scary looks, Mr Fordham says today's music fans could learn a thing or two about friendship from the punks and skinheads.

"People used to give us stick but the music brought us together. Nowadays the groups don't mingle like they used to. We were just having a good time."
