The Source images were shot in Raw-mode on a Canon EOS 5d DSLR with a 16 mm M42 fisheye lens.

These ancient stones are in the Shalwy Valley, near the village of Kilcar: in the South West of County Donegal, the most North Westerly county in Ireland.

A virtual reality version of this panorama has been featured as part of the World Wide Panorama project’s Heritage event from where you can launch a full screen Virtual Reality version.

Croaghbeg is a Megalithic stone structure known as a “full-court tomb”. It was uncovered and investigated by archaeologists between 1969 and 1973.

That excavation revealed a long cairn – about 40m – with the two chambered gallery shown here, and a subsidiary chamber on the NW side of the court.

The site is also sometimes referred to as Pontabane Cairn. (I think perhaps the hump that existed here before the excavation was called “Pontabane Cairn” and what was revealed by the excavation was named “Croaghbeg Tomb”. But that is just speculation on my part.)

Looking in you can see the massive stones that form the sides and back of the chambers. They are each about 2m in diameter. The lintel stones at the entrance and between the chambers are each about 2.5m wide and almost a metre thick.

This is one of three Megalithic tombs in the Shalwy valley, which lies on the road from the fishing port of Killybegs to Slieve League about 6km West of Killybegs and about 3km East of the village of Kilcar .

Based on its style of construction it is likely that Croaghbeg was built about 6,000 years ago – about 1,000 years before work started on Stonehenge or the great Egyptian pyramids.

Photographic Method and Processing detail

The panorama was created by combining 27 separate digital photographs covering every angle and with bracketed exposure. Hence the HDR effect with detail both in the most brightly lit areas and in the shadows.
Eight separate “shots” were taken: six horizontal at 60° intervals, one down into the tomb and one up at the sky. Each “shot” was actually three bracketed exposures: a middle, a +2 stops and a -2 stops.
Hugin delegates the generation of the High Dynamic Range effect to a program called “Enfuse” which does the exposure blending it is a close cousin of the “Enblend” program that it invokes for blending the joins.
The Source images were shot in Raw-mode on a Canon EOS 5d DSLR with a 16 mm M42 fisheye lens, and were stitched and blended into a HDR Panorama using Hugin – a free open-source panorama stitching program.

Use aviation strategically, says IATA official

February 15, 2012 09:55 IST

The representative body of the global airline industry has asked governments of countries like India, which have huge unrealised potential in aviation, to use the sector as a strategic asset and devise policies that spur competitiveness.

"When the relationship between industry and government works, the results are brilliant. Policies that support aviation's competitiveness deliver wide-ranging benefits across economies by connecting business to markets," Tony Tyler, Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said.

In Singapore, where the government has supported aviation as a strategic industry, it contributes 119,000 quality jobs and 5.4 per cent of GDP, according to Oxford Economics studies commissioned by IATA to demonstrate to governments the catalytic impact of a healthy aviation sector.

"The connectivity that aviation provides to Singapore has enabled it to develop as a successful regional hub for sectors as diverse as finance, healthcare, culture and education," Tyler said in a keynote address to the Singapore Airshow Aviation Leadership Summit.

He said not all governments have the same positive approach and India is one market that is missing out on aviation's potential as a result of a policy

framework that does not support aviation's competitiveness.

For example, high taxes, a lack of capacity in Mumbai and increasing infrastructure costs in Delhi are holding back Indian aviation's potential.

"The stunted growth of Indian aviation comes with an economic cost. India's population is about 240 times the size of Singapore's. But the number of aviation jobs is just about 14 times larger at 1.7 million.

"And the economic contribution of aviation is still only 0.5 per cent of the Indian economy. It is an important 0.5 per cent. But even considering the differential in GDP/capita between Singapore and India, these numbers tell us that there is tremendous unrealised potential in India," said Tyler.

Asia is driving growth and shifting aviation's centre of gravity eastward. In 2010 about 33 per cent of passengers traveled on routes to, from or within Asia-Pacific. For North America and Europe the equivalent number was 31 per cent.

By 2015, IATA's passenger forecast anticipates that Asia-Pacific will represent 37 per cent, while traffic associated with Europe and North America will fall to 29 per cent.

Over that same 2010-2015 period, total passengers worldwide are expected to rise to 3.55 billion. Of the 877 million additional passengers that will be generated, 212 million are expected to fly on routes associated with China.

Kabul Express: Flawed, but thought-provoking

Last updated on: December 15, 2006 20:27 IST

George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead ended with the scariest scene of all -- human beings have won the battle against zombies and are now rounding them up like mad dogs, shooting them in the head and burning them on a pile of dead bodies.

It was a fictional horror film.

There is a scene in Kabir Khan's directorial debut, Kabul Express, which is actually taken from real life -- Afghans who have suffered under the Taliban regime rounding up Taliban members and beating them to death.

Kabul Express is not a documentary, but a tale to show the current scenario of Afghanistan post-9/11, post Pakistan abandoning them.

John Abraham plays a journalist and Arshad Warsi is his cameraman. They land up in Afghanistan for a story and end up being taken hostage -- along with their Afghan driver and an American journalist -- by an escaping Pakistani Colonel who was a Taliban member.

Kabul Express works in parts. Each visual depicts the tragedy of a spectacle called Afghanistan. Each scene is also accompanied by a killer line by Arshad. John really doesn't have much to do or say in the film and is treated purely as eye-candy, much like his female counterpart, the American journalist, Linda Arsenio.

A still from Kabul ExpressKabir, thankfully, doesn't take sides and gives due blame to bring the current situation to light. America is named as the reason for every ruin you see in the film. The most interesting conversation takes place on the run -- when Coke-Pepsi, Madhuri Dixit, Kashmir and America are all tied up.

You cannot stop laughing and being pissed at the irony of it all -- that in the end all these wars are about digging up oil and selling Pepsi and Coke.

Kabul Express suffers from poor characterisation of John and Linda. At times, you squirm in your seat as they have no real connection to the story. But then having John in a film helps market it so that the film opens to houseful boards. That isn't really a strategy you can find fault with -- the reason a film likes this ends up being green-lighted is for the star power behind it.

Yash Raj Films decides to experiment with Kabul Express, a song-less film. Technically, every department is top notch. As an actor, Arshad steals the show. Salman Shahid and Hanif Humghum are also very good.

Kabul Express is a good-looking film but it refuses to get its hands dirty. Instead of having a gritty and rugged feel, it is too spic and span. Technical finesse is one thing, but in these rugged terrains, the feel should be more like the look of a commercial film like Black Hawk Down to get the viewer more involved. Kabul Express should have had the look of Omkara.

Also, one wonders why two journalists would land up in Afghanistan without a guide or any contact or be unable to find a shutterbug in a country overflowing with photojournalists.

However, what makes it hard to quibble about Kabul Express is that the film works on many levels. It's the first Indian film to show a true picture of Afghanistan. It shows the plight of Pakistanis caught on the other side after their country was forced to change allegiances by America. It is a film which makes you ponder on a picture postcard country ruined by a capitalist monster running amok worldwide.

The scariest scene in the movie is when the Pakistani soldier talks about the deception of America, mirrored by his colleagues at the Pakistani border that has been sealed off. The scene makes you think that Pakistan and America have been the best of friends. Today if this is the state of Pakistan, what about India?

We are going to bed with a monster with no heart. Are the ruins of Afghanistan a mirror to the future ruins of a country called Pakistan? A country called India?

Are we just fuel pumps on a global map selling oil and Coke?

Kabir Khan has told a story from his heart, and what is important is that his heart is in the right place.

the cost of dementia care in the United States
April 5, 2013

True Cost Of Dementia Has Been Underestimated

Jason Pierce, MSN, MBA, RN for — Your Universe Online

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health System and the RAND Corporation report that in the United States the annual healthcare expenses associated with dementia exceed those associated with heart disease or cancer.

According to the report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the total annual cost of dementia care in the United States ranges from $159 billion to $215 billion. This estimate includes direct patient care expenses of $109 billion, and as much as $106 billion in informal or unpaid care.

The study was funded by the National Institute on Aging and the Social Security Administration, and is the most comprehensive study of its kind related to the costs of dementia. The data comes from a nationally representative sample of individuals over the age of 50 participating in the Health and Retirement Study, and has been collected since 1992.

Dementia is a progressive disease process involving loss of brain function effecting memory, language, though processes, and judgment. This decline in mental capacity impairs the ability to perform activities of daily living and self-care. Alzheimer´s disease is the most commonly known form of dementia.

The report found that the $109 billion spent on direct care for dementia in 2010 was consistent with the $102 billion spent on heart disease. Cancer care, however, had a lower price tag of $77 billion. Direct care costs include those related to formal care provided by physicians and nurses, Medicare expenses and other out of pocket expenses. Medicare reportedly spends about $11 billion on dementia per year.

When informal care, such as that provided at home by family members or in long term care facilities, is included the annual cost of dementia balloons to as much as $215 billion. According to the authors, "The majority of the costs associated with dementia – about 80 percent in our study–are due to the long-term daily care and supervision provided by families and nursing homes, often for many years. Ignoring these long-term care costs that build up steadily day-after-day leads to a huge under-counting of the true burden that dementia imposes on our society."

Based on statistics from 2010 the study estimates that as many as 14.7 percent of Americans over 70 have some form of dementia. As the US population ages the cost associated with dementia will rise. Some estimates suggest that the cost could more than double by the year 2040. "There are no signs that the costs of dementia will decrease given that the nation will have a larger number of 85-year-olds in the future than we do today," said Michael Hurd, the study's lead author and a senior economist at RAND. "Unless there is some sort of medical breakthrough, these costs will continue to rise."

According to Hurd, “We need to step up efforts to identify ways to effectively treat and prevent this devastating disease. It inflicts a large and growing cost to patients, families, and public programs, so it requires research and public policy investments that are in-line with those currently being made for other major diseases."

Police: Male suspect wore purple bra

Police in Michigan said a man accused of taking a woman's keys and rifling through her car was wearing nothing but his boxer shorts and a purple bra.

The Rockford District Court heard Sparta resident Lisa Collins woke up Tuesday at about 5 a.m. and discovered her front door was open, her keys were missing and a man she recognized as neighbor Jacob Fast, 20, was going though the items in her car, The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press reported Thursday.

Court documents said Fast, who was dressed only in his boxer shorts and a purple bra, tried to kick and push officers during his arrest. He was charged with resisting arrest and home invasion. He was jailed in lieu of $20,000 bond.

Fast has one prior conviction for second-degree home invasion and possession of burglary tools from 2005, court records show.

Rain Bird Announces the 2008 Intelligent Use of Water Award Finalists

Rain Bird, the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products and services, named the finalists for its 2008 Intelligent Use of Water(TM) Award, which recognizes persons or organizations whose innovation, leadership, ingenuity and overall commitment to improved landscape water efficiency has raised the standard for outdoor water conservation. The five finalists were selected by a panel of judges according to pre-determined criteria, including demonstrated water savings, preservation of landscapes, innovation and overall impact on the community.

The five finalists for the 2008 Intelligent Use of Water Award are:

Christopher S. Gray, Sr. - Benton, KY

Christopher has spent his entire career in golf course management creating and implementing innovative and effective golf course environmental stewardship programs. As General Manager/Director of Golf Course Operations at Marvel Golf Club in Benton, Kentucky, Christopher has been extremely proactive in water conservation programs on and off the golf course. Christopher has developed and implemented a very unique wastewater conservation program in which all rainwater and household wastewater generated from the homes surrounding the golf course is captured, treated and pumped into the course's irrigation retention ponds. Providing over 14 million gallons of reclaimed water each year, once the Marvel Estates sub-division is completed, the innovative program has eliminated the need to pull water from the local water district or nearby Kentucky Lake for irrigation purposes.

David Salman - Santa Fe, NM

As the president and chief horticulturist of the retail nursery, Santa Fe Greenhouses, and its mail-order counterpart, High Country Gardens, David has spent the better part of 20-plus years in pursuit of beautiful and drought-tolerant plants for western landscapes. Regarded as one of Xeriscaping's pioneers, he is dedicated to perfecting the growing methods for a wide variety of new and unusual waterwise perennials, grasses and shrubs. His work has resulted in the introduction of 24 new waterwise ornamental perennial plants that are now some of the region's most widely used Xeric perennials. A national speaker and published author on the topic of waterwise Gardening and Xeriscaping, Salman is committed to demonstrating the beauty of waterwise gardens by maintaining and expanding Xeric display gardens at Santa Fe Greenhouses. In 2000, Santa Fe Greenhouses constructed a 39,000 gallon water collection cistern and reuse system, enabling the collection of rainwater from 55,000 square feet of greenhouse roof area to be used for irrigation of the facility's perennial and annual plant collections. The system captures over an acre-foot of water in an average year, reducing the use of City water by about 25 percent.

Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association (GGCSA) - Atlanta, GA

As Georgia's water resources came under increased scrutiny in 2002, the GGCSA took a leadership role and began working with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to develop a program that would achieve the goal of sustainable resource conservation. To demonstrate its commitment to keeping the Georgia golf industry healthy, while maintaining its status as an efficient user of water, the GGCSA challenged its members to create a set of best management practices (BMP). The groundbreaking effort was the first of its kind for the Georgia agriculture and green industry, and provided a road map for the area's golf facilities to provide enjoyable playing conditions, while using water in the most efficient manner. Combining the use of efficient irrigation systems, irrigation audits, new grass varieties, communication and products such as wetting agents and plant growth regulators, and abstaining from over seeding, the GGCSA was able to document the conservation efforts of Georgia's golf superintendents and promote the BMP program as a potential water conservation tool for all types of water users.

The Council on the Environment of NYC (CENYC) - New York, NY

As a hands-on nonprofit that is committed to increasing environmental awareness among New Yorkers and developing practical solutions to environmental problems, the CENYC develops and implements environmental education programs and initiatives that promote waste prevention and encourage the recycling of Earth's natural resources. CENYC has worked with over 30 community garden groups in diverse neighborhoods throughout the New York City area to construct rainwater-harvesting (RWH) systems using simple piping and barrels to collect water from adjacent rooftops or garden structures. Each year, these systems divert more than 500,000 gallons of rainwater onto local gardens that would otherwise be lost or result in polluted water due to overloaded storm drains. CENYC runs workshops educating the public on RWH systems and other alternative water resources and teaches gardeners looking how to build their own RWH systems. The Council also offers environmental education programs that teach children how to get in touch with officials about fixing broken fire hydrants, show them how to monitor environmental conditions at their schools and in their neighborhoods, and organize plantings near local water sources including the Bronx River and the Delaware Watershed.

Glendale Xeriscape Demonstration Garden - Glendale, AZ

Established in 1992, the Glendale Xeriscape Demonstration Garden is a four-acre living laboratory that showcases low-water-use plants and educates the community on the benefits of water efficient gardening. Set on the grounds of the historic Glendale public library, the garden is a highly regarded resource that educates the public on developing water-efficient landscapes. The garden's themed demonstration areas educate homeowners on the diversity and beauty of Xeriscape through displays of native plantings and proper drip irrigation watering techniques, as well as interpretive signage and audio tours that provide information about specific plants and landscape design techniques. The recently installed habitat gardens are certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" and demonstrate rainwater-harvesting techniques. Over 15 free water-efficient landscape classes are offered every year to the public, and the garden implements several water education programs for children. The garden's role in motivating the public to take advantage of the city's landscape rebate program is evident as the number of gallons used per day by Glendale residents has decreased by more than fourteen percent since the garden first opened in 1992 and local residents have converted more than 215,000 square feet of turf to Xeriscape, saving an estimated water savings of more than 5 million gallons of water a year.

The recipient of the 2008 Intelligent Use of Water Award will be announced on October 11, 2008 at the Intelligent Use of Water Film Competition where they will be presented with $10,000 in acknowledgment of their contributions toward protecting Earth's most precious resource.

The winner will be chosen by an esteemed panel of experts that includes: Elizabeth Cutright, editor, Water Efficiency magazine; Dan Stark, executive director of the American Public Gardens Association; Ron Stoltz, director of the School of Landscape Architecture at The University of Arizona; and Marty Eberhardt, executive director of The Water Conservation Garden, winner of the 2007 Intelligent Use of Water Award.

Rocky Mount Drains Tank Amid Water Conservation

By Janelle Rucker [email protected] 981-3159

Rocky Mount officials made the call last week to do away with about 350,000 gallons of treated water while the town was still under a mandatory conservation order.

On Thursday, the day before the mandatory water restrictions were lifted, gallons gushed out of the water tank on Bald Knob Hill as contractors prepared the tank for routine servicing, Assistant Town Manager Matt Hankins said.

That same day, town officials started the process to lift the call for mandatory water restrictions and announced the end of conservation efforts Friday, Hankins said.

The town went into mandatory conservation mode Aug. 25 after water flow in the Blackwater River, the town's water source, reached a historic low of 1.5 cubic feet per second.

Before the mandatory call, town officials asked residents to voluntarily conserve on July 28. But the lack of rain and conservation efforts prompted the request to turn into an order. The town's administration, in several public statements, said the town's water customers weren't conserving enough under the voluntary request.

While residents were warned not to water their yards or gardens, fill their pools or wash their cars at home, the town proceeded to drain the tank Thursday so it could be prepared for sandblasting and a paint job Friday. Hankins defended the town administration's decision Tuesday.

"With the inspection of the tank overdue and a possible health department violation at issue, the town decided to proceed," he said. "The town had delayed the servicing many times due to the decision that we could not afford to have the tank off line during the drought, nor could we afford to drain the tank for service due to the scarcity of water."

And the town didn't randomly choose a day to begin work, Hankins said. Friday was the day the contractor had an opening, he said.

On top of the water released to allow contractors to do the work, two failed valves and a "staff error" allowed more water to escape than was necessary.

According to Hankins, two valves didn't close to keep water from entering the tank. To fix the problem, water department employees tried to close valves in the distribution system, but only closed one of the two valves, causing water to continue to escape.

The open valve was discovered and fixed Friday, and the water lost was replaced by the end of the day.

Repairing and painting the tank inside and out is supposed to be performed every three to four years or as needed, based on the age of the tank, Hankins said.

The Bald Knob tank hasn't been fully serviced since 1999 but has been inspected annually.

Councilman Jerry Greer said Tuesday he wasn't aware that the tank would be worked on last week but understood the work had probably already been scheduled and had to be done regardless of the conservation status.

The conservation "was a way of calming usage of water down in a drought situation," Greer said. "We were never in real danger of running out of water."

Several other council members did not return phone messages Tuesday.

Since remnants of Tropical Storm Fay hit the area Aug. 26, water flow in the Blackwater has fluctuated.

It's water flow was recorded at 18 cubic feet per second last week.

In August, water flow in the Blackwater River reached a historic low.

SmartTap: Wake Up Your iPhone With A Double-Tap On Its Screen

SmartTap is a new jailbreak tweak released by Elias Limneos. It lets you use a double-tap gesture on the screen of your iPhone to wake it up, and put it to bed. Swiping up and down gestures can also be used to unlock the device and open applications.

The jailbreak app serves as a homage to the KnockOn tweak that’s popular on LG G2 Android device, where double tapping on the screen wakes the device up. SmartTap also lets you awake your device with a ‘knock’ gesture, but takes it up even further.

Install SmartTap and go to the Settings menu. There will be two different sections here – one when the screen is off, one when the screen is on.

In the first case – you can use swipe=up gesture, a swipe-down gesture and a double-tap gesture. These can be used to switch on the screen, open applications or unlock the device. Remember to turn off the passcode.

In the second case – you can a double tap gesture to lock the device at lock screen or Home screen. At the home screen, you can double tap any area that does not include folders and app icons.

There is also a ‘smart touch detection’ feature to ensure the device doesn’t detect false touches when placed in pocket. The tweak works by preventing the phone from entering sleep mode so the digitizer hardware works to respond to touch gestures.

This tweak is very useful for those who have a broken home button or power buttons... Give it a try and let us what do you feel towards...SmartTap is available for $1.99 from Cydia store via BigBoss repo.

The Wall Street Journal had a rather heartbreaking piece a few weeks about families of people with mental illness. Many families seem to feel helpless in the face of federal privacy laws that keep parents from knowing about their grown children’s medicines, treatments and even diagnoses. While parents are often able to be involved in the treatment of their children as they grow up, once they reach maturity the parents are often locked out. The same is often true for families of those who become mentally ill later in life.

Laws that are meant to protect individual privacy often limit families and professionals from helping the mentally ill until it is too late and they end up harming themselves or others. Somewhere between One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the road leading up to HIPAA and Jared Loughner opening fire in Tuscon, AZ, the common sense of regulations seems to have gone out the door . As a result, society and the mentally ill have been paying the price ever since. Mental illness is certainly one of the most difficult issues a family and a community can face, and federal laws that obstruct common sense solutions do nothing but to complicate the challenges.

Which is exactly why every time the federal government seeks to do anything it should be looked at with great deal of skepticism. Because it’s not just the treatment of the mentally ill that the government messes up. The majority of the things the federal government does are failures, and most certainly lack common sense. Take for example President Obama’s EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) which has sued Dollar General and BMW for racial discrimination. Their crime? Screening out of their potential employee pool applicants who had been convicted of “Murder, Assault, Battery, Rape, Child Abuse, Spousal Abuse (Domestic Violence), Manufacturing of Drugs, Distribution of Drugs, [and] Weapons Violations.” And since more blacks than whites were convicted of those crimes – and therefore dismissed from consideration for employment – Dollar General and BMW are guilty of racial discrimination.

If there were an entry in the dictionary under “lacking common sense” this action would be example number one with a picture of a smiling federal bureaucrat next to it. Even a fifth grader would understand that forcing a company to consider more convicted murders and rapists for employment simply because of their race is ridiculous.

But then most of the people in Washington would likely end up losers on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? One can only imagine that 5th graders would have been smart enough not to give us Obamacare. One doesn’t need to be a genius to figure out that Obamacare was going to be a disaster from the beginning, but of course we had to pass it before we could find out what was in it. The dunces in Washington promised that insurance premiums would go down. Instead they’re going up. The dunces in Washington said if you like your insurance you can keep it. Millions of people are finding they can’t. And of course the dunces in Washington were sure that access to government guaranteed healthcare would improve health outcomes. A landmark study in Oregon puts that lie to rest.

Now the dunces in Washington are trying to sell the American people another thousand page bill of goods that goes against basic common sense. This time in the form of the immigration bill. They claim that rewarding 11 million illegal immigrants in the country will somehow stop people from coming across our borders. So giving a gift to those who came to the US illegally (just as happened in 1986) is supposed to show that the US is finally serious about closing down the border? The CBO is not so sure.

They claim that giving the 11 million people here illegally some legal status should benefit the country because they will pay taxes. Actually, according to the IRS, many of them are already paying taxes thanks to individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). Not only that, the IRS is actually sending thousands of “aliens living in the United States who are ‘not authorized to work in the United States.’” tens of millions of dollars in fraudulent refunds, 24,000 of whom apparently live in one house in Atlanta. Talk about close quarters!

They claim that they are absolutely, really, totally promise to secure the border this time… Ted Cruz points out that we heard this before.

Common sense tells you that if illegal immigration is to be tackled, the first thing you do, as you would with a sinking ship, is fix the holes rather than rearrange the furniture or dance cards. But then the people in Washington are not well versed in that basic element of everyday life that most citizens (including 5th graders) employ to get through their days. Unlike bureaucrats, most citizens don’t have the luxury of changing the rules to fit their worldviews, regardless of the consequences. No, they have to deal with actual reality rather than the fairy tales of good and effective government that politicians and bureaucrats tell themselves.

Unfortunately, whether regular citizens have family members with mental illness, are simply seeking to run a successful small business or have any one of a thousand other everyday issues to deal with, in almost all every case they will find that beyond the normal complexities of life they will likely have to deal with a plethora of decidedly non-common sensical intrusions by the dunces in Washington who fancy themselves as sages and kings.

Can Brain Scans Predict The Future Of Viral Videos?

What happens in your brain when you watch that adorable cat video everyone's posting on Facebook? Well, we always assumed it was something like "Squeeeeeeeee!!!!!," but it turns out, there's a more scientific explanation. Figuring out just what makes something go viral is a quest that has enthralled many an editorial team and advertising junkie alike, and now, scientists just might have an answer.
Professor Matt Lieberman of UCLA and Emily Falk, director of the UPenn communications neuroscience lab did some digging inside the human mind. Using an fMRI scanner, they tested subjects as they heared pitches for new film ideas. The subjects then discussed the ideas with their fellows and ranked how likely they would be to share each film with a friend. What the results found was not some key combination of kittens, transformers, and Justin Bieber but rather a common reaction within the brains of each subject when hearing about a successful idea. Lieberman explained the results to Co.Exist, saying that he originally expected to see activity in regions associated with communication and memory. But instead, things lit up in the bilateral TPJ area of the brain, which is "associated with thinking about the minds of other people." What that means, essentially, is that when you're experiencing a viral idea, you're wondering and imagining how it will be perceived by others. It's commonly referred to as the "mentalizing network," and it's a strange phenomenon, particularly because it has been observed activating when test subjects are at rest between two given tasks.
It might sound obvious, but this was a pretty surprising finding for the researchers. "I don’t think we realize that we’re filtering ideas about the world in that way," says Lieberman. Of course, it hasn't yet been determined whether this can predict the actual success of an idea, rather than just the subject's opinion on its success. But Lieberman and Falk are planning lots of new research that could help pin down exactly what this means for the future of the Internet, Hollywood, publishing, and much more. Get the whole, fascinating story here!

Dakota Fanning Casually Revealed The Best Secret On Reese Witherspoon's Instagram

Photo: M. Caulfield/WireImage.
Sometimes Instagram is the best. Nine times out of 10, that's due to the plethora of fluffy dog and cat photos available at the swipe of a finger. (A milestone for humanity that I think is truly underappreciated.) But sometimes, we heart Instagram because it enables us to peek in on celebrities and their daily lives. For instance, Reese Witherspoon posted a #TBT shot of herself on the set of Sweet Home Alabama. Cute, but the interesting bit lies in the comments section of her picture.
Now, you probably remember that Witherspoon starred as country-gal-turned-city-gal Melanie in the 2002 rom-com. It's less likely that you remember Dakota Fanning's appearance in the movie; she played the child Melanie. During a flashback in the film, we see a young Melanie kiss a young Jake, played by the actor Thomas Curtis. (Josh Lucas plays the adult Jake.)
The actress, now 22, commented on the picture with a surprising revelation. As it turns out, Fanning got her very first kiss filming that scene. "Had my first kiss in this movie!" Fanning wrote. She was 7 at the time. In truth, this information has been out there for a while. But who keeps ongoing records of personal details about celebs, like their first kisses? That's what Instagram is for, peeps.

Still rockin' the cowboy boots👌🏼 #TBT #SweetHomeAlabama

Here's the cute little kiss itself, for your viewing pleasure.

Why I’ll Never Stop Reading Self-Help Books

There were two moments in my life when I hit rock bottom, three if you count the time in junior high when I was so viciously bullied I spent lunches in the library. But, since nothing that happens before you get your first Brazilian wax counts (that's the universal standard, right?), I'm counting two.
Both times, my lifeline wasn't at the bottom of a bottle, or a BFF who tirelessly sympathized, or a fling (though all of those played a part), but a book — a self-help book to be exact.
This is an ode to the genre of books that people never name-drop, like a New York Times best seller that the cultured casually slip into conversation, or boast about reading religiously from cover to cover, like The New Yorker. It's the genre of books that never get critical acclaim, and while you may start a book club about it, you’re probably not going to advertise its time and place on Facebook.
But, in the times of serious need, when spiraling in self-deprecating despair, I was most consoled by people who went through what I was going through. It just so happened that I had never met them.
When my first (again, we're counting post-wax) serious boyfriend cheated on me during a missions trip, lied about it, and then promptly started dating her once he realized that the jig was up, I spiraled. I thought I was going to marry him. And, now the integrity of our entire relationship was open to scrutiny, the feeling of my replaceability was insurmountable, and I was convinced I would never date again. [Editor's note: That's a direct quote from my personal blog in '06. Oh brother.] All my beliefs of trust, commitment, love, and faith came crashing down like Humpty Dumpty and absolutely refused to be put back together again.
Instead of a shoulder to cry on, the pages of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, with its cheesy title and equally cheesy cover (don't Google it), helped me find purpose in my unexpected single status. From swearing off dating forever, I jumped to Dr. Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages (the singles edition), written by a relationship counselor/psychologist who found that most married couples felt unloved by their spouse because they communicated their love in different ways. Then, I hopped to Francine Rivers' Redeeming Love, the closest you'll get to 50 Shades of Grey in the Christian aisle. It's a retelling of the biblical story of Hosea who married a prostitute and kept forgiving her and bringing her back home despite her constant affairs. The book paints a very moving picture of what unconditional love could look like.
From one high to the next, I jumped from book to book, each one helping me work through the five stages of grief. I became a self-help junkie, always looking for my next fix. But, it was those books that gave me consistent and constant counsel without the hefty bill of a therapist and self-absorbed guilt from talking a bestie's ear off. They kept me afloat for five years until I finally started dating again.
Then, I got laid off. And, it was the refreshingly raw words of Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird, who talked me down when I thought my young career was dying a very sudden, ego-crippling death. Getting laid off, despite all the practical "it's just business" reasoning, can demoralize you so swiftly and effectively that I wholeheartedly believed I wasn't qualified to write another published word again. Lamott's brash telling of her (many) failures and ways she got back up affirmed that 1) I was not crazy, or 2) at the least, I wasn't alone. Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way taught me to haul my ass back to the drawing board and keep applying and writing and believing. And, when I eventually landed a job in NYC, Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In reminded me that work is hard but it's a hard-wrought privilege and something worth fighting for.
Self-help books may not be the sexiest titles and I might not proudly read them on the subway, but they've helped me through heartache that lasted years, through career drama, and subsequent identity crises. And, for $14.95 a pop, that's a pretty damn good deal.

2007 Annual Survey of violations of trade union rights - Spain

Publisher International Trade Union Confederation
Publication Date 9 June 2007
Cite as International Trade Union Confederation, 2007 Annual Survey of violations of trade union rights - Spain, 9 June 2007, available at: [accessed 24 January 2017]
DisclaimerThis is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.

Population: 44,700,000
Capital: Madrid
ILO Core Conventions Ratified: 29 – 87 – 98 – 100 – 105 – 111 – 138 – 182

As part of a new social dialogue drive over 20 agreements were signed between the government, the employers and trade unions. A highlight was the tripartite agreement on labour market reforms which aims to promote job stability and to reduce the high proportion of temporary contracts, which have undermined trade union rights. The Civil Guard protested about their freedom of association. A union representative was sacked by a hotel chain for speaking out about poor health and safety practices, while the suppliers of one multinational replaced some striking workers. Volkswagen threatened to relocate if strike action continued.

Trade union rights in law

The law recognises freedom of association. All workers can form or join the union of their choice, however, some categories of workers do not have the right to join unions or there are severe restrictions on that right. Members of the armed forces, the Civil Guard, the national police force and some regional police forces are not allowed to join unions, whilst judges, magistrates and prosecutors are not free to join the union of their choice.

The unions are calling on the government to act on their electoral commitment to regulate the rights of the Civil Guard democratically, in particular their right to freedom of association.

The Constitution guarantees the right to collective bargaining and protects the binding power of collective agreements. The law also protects the right to strike.

Trade union rights in practice

Temporary contracts affect collective bargaining: Although Spain has a well established system of collective bargaining it is undermined in practice by the high number of temporary contracts. Various statistics confirm that Spain is the European Union country with the highest percentage of workers on temporary contracts (32.5 per cent in 2004), 63 per cent of whom are immigrants. This clearly influences the working conditions of these workers. Taking advantage of these workers' uncertainty about their future employment, employers have made them accept working conditions that are not in line with legal standards. Whilst in theory temporary workers' contracts are covered by a sectoral agreement fixing their terms of employment, in practice collective bargaining is being replaced by individual agreements between managers and employees, who are obliged in practice to accept what they are offered.

Tripartite agreement on labour market reform: A tripartite agreement on labour reform signed in May 2006 should help reduce the still very high proportion of temporary contracts. The reform aims to limit the repeated renewal of employment contracts within the same company by obliging companies to offer a permanent contract to any worker who has had two or more fixed-term contracts and has worked in the same job for over two years within a period of 30 months. It also offers financial incentives to companies to provide permanent employment contracts, including a subsidy for converting temporary contracts into permanent ones. The regulation of contracts and sub-contracts that is included in the agreement covers some key ways of ensuring greater transparency in the provision of information on sub-contracting processes. It increases the scope for legal action by the workers' legal representatives in all the firms concerned. It facilitates the arrangements for keeping a check on all these ways of decentralising production and guarantees better protection to the workers. Where workers do not have representatives available they will be able to be represented by those at the main company. The agreement also seeks to strengthen labour inspection, as it was felt that one of the biggest problems with temporary contracts was employers' failure to comply with the law.

Multinationals: Some big multinationals use their position to undermine trade union rights, such as threatening to relocate if they are affected by trade union action.

Violations in 2006

Striking workers dismissed: In January 2006 the strike committee representing transport workers in the Vizcaya region, UGT-Transportes de Vizcaya, filed a complaint to the Labour Inspectorate about the companies LIAN S.L. and PERSONAL DRIVER S.L., which are furniture suppliers for the multinational IKEA, for sacking employees who were on strike and replacing them with new recruits, since this is an illegal practice that violates the right to strike.

Volkswagen threatens strikers with redundancy: The Volkswagen car company threatened on 30 March to move production of the new Polo out of Spain if the long-running strike at its Pamplona factory continued. The strike was over the failure to finalise negotiations on a new collective agreement after 15 months. The principal bones of contention were the proposed cost cutting and flexibility measures proposed by management. The company originally threatened to move production to Bratislava in Slovakia, as it had done previously with its SEAT Ibiza model, although this plan was later rejected. At the end of the year there was still a risk that production could be moved elsewhere.

Union representative sacked for denouncing unsafe working conditions: On 11 December union representative Antonio Garcia Ramos of the hotel workers' union Federación Estatal de Comercio, Hostelería y Turismo de CC.OO. (FECOHT-CC.OO) for Iberostar hotels in the Canary Islands, was unfairly dismissed from his job with the Spanish hotel and tourism conglomerate Iberostar. Management objected to his public statements denouncing unsafe working conditions for hotel staff and the company's refusal to implement recommendations issued by the health and safety authorities. Iberostar operates hotels in 13 countries.

Regal to Launch MODSORT™ Modular Transfer and Diverter Station at PACK Expo

Innovative new low-noise, low-voltage station easily integrates with new or existing material handling systems

FLORENCE, Ky., Sept. 1, 2016 —Regal Beloit Corporation (NYSE: RBC), a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission components, announced it will debut its MODSORT modular transfer and diverter station in their booth (N-4746) during PACK Expo International 2016 in Chicago beginning November 6. This new transfer eliminates the need for a lift or pneumatics and can be easily integrated into new or existing material handling systems with the ability to transfer a wide array of products.

The MODSORT station features the System Plast™ 2253RT roller top belt, which allows it to uniquely transfer and divert packages based on the sphere’s vector speed and direction while also featuring a 1-inch, on-center sphere array to allow for very small packages to be diverted. The station can divert on the fly or stop and divert at a true 90-degree angle, and is ideal for polybags and small packages while also easily handling boxes. MODSORT stations can be placed end to end to create a medium-rate sorter or integrated with conveyors to create transfer stations within conveyor systems. Customization is possible for picking and packing stations within the modern distribution center. Additionally, retrofitting the station into existing conveyor systems is also possible.

“Through a rigorous process to understand customers’ and integrators’ pain points, we’ve been able to develop a product that meets their needs through a transfer and diverter station that is simple, has the flexibility to transfer a wider range of products and is easy to maintain,” said Mike Suter, vice president of marketing, Regal Beloit Corporation. “Due to the flexibility, this station eliminates the need for a tray required on a pneumatic pop-up converter to transfer polybags, which continue to increase in popularity today due to recent changes in shipping costs.”

In addition to reducing shipping and handling costs associated with using a tray to
transfer polybags, MODSORT can help achieve energy savings between 50 and 60
percent compared to traditional conveyors when integrated with a motorized roller-based
conveyor system. The station features:
• Motorized Drive Rollers (MDR) and controls that employ run-on-demand
• 24-volt DC motor and controls that allow flexibility in wiring and control
• The ability to divert exceptionally small packages and boxes
• No pneumatics, lifts or Z-direction position feedback devices are needed
• Safe, energy-efficient, quiet and low-maintenance operation
• Controls that allow standalone programming or can interface to a PLC via
A MODSORT exhibit will be on display in Regal’s booth (N-4746) during PACK
Expo. Formore information, visit

Pro-Prostitute in Amsterdam

“Sometimes, I just wanna push ’em into the canals!” a volunteer laments guiltily. She’s just venting as we sidestep a bachelor party spilling down the Amsterdam street, confessing what most feel after even a short stint of working with the ladies—witnessing men carouse through the damp, erotically charged alleyways takes a toll on your faith in humanity. They tap on the glass, gather in packs to point, laugh and goad one another to be the first to pony up the 50 Euros and step through the red-rimmed door.

Melissa Gomez has been working with prostitutes since she was 18, her path shadowing the dark journey of countless human trafficking victims. She began in the Philippines, working at a recovery center for ex-prostitutes, where she watched her next-door neighbor’s 9-year-old son die slowly of AIDS as the local brothels thrived. When she left she told God that she wasn’t sure she was “cut out for this kind of work.”

But like most things that are hard to do but harder to walk away from, it had its hooks in her and months later, she was living in the Tenderloin in San Francisco. There, she realized that prostitution and trafficking were not only problems that happened “over there” but also here, in her state, openly. Joining a local NGO, she began staking out massage parlors and nail salons, documenting girls that went in but never came out.

The issues Gomez deals with every day—modern-day slavery, human trafficking, prostitution—have recently demanded broad attention with movements like Not for Sale and Stop the Traffic, and documentaries like Call + Response, Sex + Money and Nefarious. Human trafficking has become the new nonprofit and media buzzword. Youth groups and college campuses have jumped on board.

“Do efforts to make new laws take girls out of the windows only push them into back-alley brothels?”

Everyone can agree that something must be done to protect these women and children and reduce the international trade in humans, but few can agree how. Unfortunately, there is currently very little research as to the long-term effects of many of the policies that have been enacted. Do efforts to make new laws take girls out of the windows only push them into back-alley brothels where they become another disposable commodity? Do they ignore the humanity, the prostitute as a person, a survivor with few means? Are they only serving to alleviate our own sense of indignation? Or do they truly break a sanctioned system of modern slavery?

In 2006, when Gomez and her husband picked up their roots and replanted them in Holland, she jumped headfirst into a long-standing ministry called The Cleft. Visiting the “women in the windows,” as the local ladies of the night are called, volunteers with The Cleft offered them tea, cookies and friendship.

And that’s just it—if you were to see Gomez’s story on the big screen, you would learn that helping prostitutes is far from just campaign walks, brothel raids and covert sting operations. It’s trips to the doctor, late-night phone calls, disgusting stories of betrayal and coercion. It’s disappointment and sleeplessness. It’s wondering if the girls are OK, wondering if the men they slept with that day were nice to them, did they say mean things, were they polite. It means sacrificing your personal life to take on insomnia, depression, anxiety and bitterness.

All of these sacrifices would be easy to endure if every girl got out of the business, finding her freedom and being healed physically, emotionally and spiritually. And several of the girls Gomez befriended have moved on to other lives, working as checkers in grocery stores or going home and seeing the family that many times was used against them. But others don’t, or they do and then they go back. Gomez said she was prepared for this eventuality by working at the Haven; in instances of abuse it often takes the victim six or seven attempts to leave the perpetrator. “It's never a good idea anyway to think anyone is going to stop work as a prostitute because you said they should,” she says. But when someone does make that choice and is wavering on her decision, she doesn’t just “welcome them back to the district and say, ‘It’s great to see you here again!’ ”

Gomez doesn’t insist that moving into the heart of the red light is the only way to make change—in fact, she emphasizes having a three-pronged approach: awareness, advocacy and response. Media coverage, lobbying politicians and bringing groups to witness on-the-ground realities all play a role in the fight. Without any one of them, the fight against sex trafficking becomes impotent: either irrelevant to the immediate needs of the girls on the street or merely serving as a Band-Aid to the ever-increasing flow of victims flooding the global market.

And in her work with the Lighthouse—a ministry that not only works with prostitutes in the red light but trains and educates internationals on the issues—she has led the charge in developing a program called SHINE for others like herself who want to be involved but don’t know where to jump in or feel overwhelmed by the complexity and cruelty of the issues.

Gomez said once that she didn’t like the term “anti-prostitution” because it has the words “anti-prostitute” in it, and she isn’t. For her, these women are more than just their day (or night) jobs—they are “beautiful and, apart from sex workers, I know them as women.” She and many more workers just like her will continue to support and love them, sharing Coco-Cola chicken and hopes for wholeness.

Pergo Sucks

Posted by Buyer Beware on January 28th, 2003 11:44 PM
In reply to Pergo Sucks by Chip Nichols on November 17th, 1999 11:55 AM [Go to top of thread]

Installed Pergo in downstairs living, family, dining, kitchen, and hall. December, 2002. Pergo Presto (snap together), no glue. Installed ourselves (the homeowners). Allowed 1/4 inch breathing space all the way around. No problem yet with "curling", or planks losing shape (it has only been a few months, though). But install took A LOT longer than we thought. LOTS of cutting. And Pergo is NOT scratch-resistant AT ALL, and NOTHING will get the scratches out. To keep floor looking good you must have absolutely no abrasive traffic. Appearance is okay, but Pergo is NOT scratch-resistant to even the tiniest disturbance. Many regrets.

I had the same problem in my old house. The black mastic was fairly thick also.

I wanted to refinish the floors anyway so I just used a floor sander do the job. I used a few extra sheets of sandpaper, but it wasn't that bad

Detroit Diesel

Detroit Diesel

A superb album by a guitarist famed for his high speed dexterity, that portrays Alvin Lee in more mature and relaxed mood. This collection of ten tracks includes such numbers as 'Shot In The Dark', 'Too Late To Run For Cover' and 'Ordinary Man', that range from blues romps to funky jams. His astonishing technique is still well displayed, but the material gives him a chance to stretch out and groove in a style closer to the Rolling Stones than Ten Years After. An all-star collection of old mates - such as Jon Lord, Joe Brown and George Harrison - make guest appearances, but the heavy duty backing work is carried out by Tim Hinkley (keyboards), Steve Gould (guitar), the late Boz Burrell (bass) and Bryson Graham (drums), who cook up a smokin' rhythm section. First released in 1986, 'Detroit Diesel' motors along with big city energy and makes a welcome addition to the Repertoire collection of vintage Alvin Lee CDs. The liner notes include a new interview with Alvin, who tells the story behind the songs and shares his memories of the good old days.
