A Supreme Court case that could topple the power of California’s unions has been a perfect storm gathering for 40 years. America has been down the road to Janus before. The early years of the 20th century saw the Supreme Court dominated by a similar anti-labor stridency. “The fight waged against unionism today is no less bitter than it was 50 years ago,” wrote Clarence Darrow in 1904. “It is simply directed along other lines.” Evidence of how little things have changed since Darrow’s time can be found in the pending U.S. Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME. For America’s public-sector employees and electoral politics, the stakes are enormous. “The corporate lobbies didn’t put decades of time, money and energy into this because it’s marginal,” observed Gordon Lafer, a policy researcher with University of Oregon’s Labor Education & Research Center. “It’s a big thing.” Indeed, the high court’s closely watched case could be seen as the culmination of 40 years of ceaseless attacks on labor. The road to Janus is one that labor has been down before. Its most striking historic parallel may be to today’s Roberts court and its judicial-activist doctrine of “First Amendment Absolutism” — the constitutional belief that union dues are a violation of workers’ free expression, but that unlimited corporate political spending is an inviolate act of free speech. The first 40 years of the 20th century saw the Supreme Court dominated by a similar philosophy of anti-labor stridency. Those bare-knuckled decades were marked by overt violence against workers, mass arrests, the criminalization of labor organizing and a right-leaning high court that, among other things, held that the federal government could not ban child labor. Over the last 40 years, American workers have seen resurgent — if far more refined — attacks on their rights, often through paid news-media opinion pieces and manipulated polling questions that depict certain groups of employees as privileged or overpaid. The chapter and verse of divide and conquer was laid down in 1947’s Taft-Hartley Act, which explicitly empowers individual states to outlaw workplace security clauses through so-called right-to-work laws. But Janus’ DNA is also tangled in the same ’50s/’60s social ferment that saw public-sector union organizing successfully expand collective bargaining rights to state and municipal workers. The first public sector labor law was passed by Wisconsin in 1959. And while it would take California another two decades and three separate bills to catch up, by the time New York enacted the Taylor Law in 1967, 21 states had legalized some type of public-sector collective bargaining. One year later, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRTW) was born. Singularly focused on outlawing the union shop through First Amendment arguments, NRTW tested this line of attack when it sued Detroit schools. 1977’s Abood v. Detroit Board of Education decision, in which the Burger Supreme Court underscored the state’s interest in maintaining “Labor peace,” spelled out the union’s right to collect a “fair share” or agency-shop fee from non-union members of a bargaining unit to pay for the non-political costs of bargaining. Any taste of victory turned out to be fleeting. By the end of the ’70s, labor found itself leaping from the frying pan of the courts into a neoliberal inferno of deregulation. In quick succession, the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and the 1982 breakup of AT&T decimated union jobs in their respective sectors, inaugurating a long slide in private-sector union density. The era’s biggest quake for both public- and private-sector labor came with Ronald Reagan in 1981, when roughly 11,500 public-sector union members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) struck in an illegal walkout. What happened next continues to reverberate to this day: Reagan famously broke the union by firing strikers and decertifying PATCO. The bargaining power of unions was never the same: On the public-sector side, federal work stoppages virtually ceased; in the private-sector, emboldened employers like Phelps-Dodge and Hormel followed suit by illegally dismissing strikers at their own plants in favor of permanent replacements. Aftershocks inevitably followed PATCO’s demise, often in the form of right-to-work laws. Eight states voted to leave the ranks of union security after 1985, not the least being Michigan, which in 2012 voted to outlaw the agency shop in the cradle and home of the United Auto Workers union. But it was Wisconsin’s election of far-right Republican Scott Walker and the 2011 passage of Wisconsin Act 10 that seemed to suggest the true magnitude of a post-Janus world. The bill, which effectively ended collective bargaining for some 380,000 state and local government employees, came with the Tea Party fingerprints of the American Legislative Exchange Council and a subsequent 38.5 percent plunge in union density. On the constitutional side, much had changed since Abood. New right-wing law groups like the Center for Individual Rights and Citizens United, together with the anti-union lawyers association the Federalist Society, whose libertarian members now comprise four of the Supreme Court’s five-justice conservative majority, including both Neil Gorsuch and First Amendment hardliner Samuel Alito, joined in what has amounted to a perfect judicial storm of conservative activism. Its radical dimensions were first revealed by Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the 2010 decision striking down parts of the 2002 McCain-Feingold federal campaign finance law by ruling that the writing of a corporate campaign check was now constitutionally protected expression. The court’s next decisions to touch on agency fees — a pair of First Amendment challenges brought by NRTW — were shots across the bow of public-sector unions, challenging their ability to fund their own existence. Neither 2012’s Knox v. Service Employees International Union nor 2014’s Harris v. Quinn went so far as to pull the trigger on the 1977 Abood decision, but both contained Alito-penned critiques of fair-share fees that, to constitutional lawyers, were unmistakable invitations to overturn a precedent. The seemingly inevitable ruling will come as an anticlimax for all but the 7.1 million public sector employees directly affected, along with the millions more who have come to rely on their collective voice as a bulwark against unaccountable private power. Judging Janus: Will California’s Unions Survive?

Tips for Billing Success: Is it a consultation or transfer of care? Billing and documentation continue to be problematic for providers even though Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) specifically defines consultation codes. CPT defines a consultation as a type of evaluation and management service provided at the request of another physician or appropriate source to recommend care for a specific condition or problem or to determine whether to accept responsibility for ongoing management of the patients’ entire care or a specific condition or problem.Transfer of care occurs when a physician or other qualified professional providing management for some or all of a patient’s problems relinquish responsibility and who, from the initial encounter, is not providing consultative services.The physician or another qualified healthcare professional who agrees to accept transfer of care before an initial evaluation should not report consultation codes. If the decision to accept transfer of care can only be after the initial evaluation, it is appropriate to report the visits as a consultation. When determining if a consultation is appropriate, review the request to determine what the requesting physician wants. Is the request for an opinion or is the provider transferring care? The physician requesting the opinion is identified. The report documentation supports the need for a consultant’s opinion. The report was sent to the requesting provider (by copy or written directly to the requesting provider). Patient sent to Dr. Smith for consultation regarding a leg injury. Was the patient sent for an opinion on how to treat or was the patient transferred for care? Thank you for your referral. Referring a patient to a specialist for care is not a consultation; it is a transfer of care. We discussed conservative care and operative interventions. The patient would like to proceed with surgery. A consultation was necessary to determine whether to accept responsibility for ongoing management.

Is there a worse place to have sudden diarrhea than on an airplane? Well, yes, and that would be on a water slide, but let’s stay with the airplane for a bit. Joao Correa was on a Delta Airlines flight from Honduras to Atlanta last week when something bad happened down below, and he had to immediately use the bathroom. Unfortunately, there was a drink cart blocking his way and the flight attendants wouldn’t let him by.

Applicants hereby claim priority under 35 USC §119 for U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/827,049 filed Sep. 26, 2006 and titled “APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INFORMATION COMPARATOR.” The entire contents of the aforementioned application is herein expressly incorporated by reference. The present disclosure is directed generally to apparatuses, methods, and systems relating to electronic search and comparison, and more particularly, to apparatuses, methods and systems to generate, display and utilize information comparison interfaces. Current electronic advertising paradigms include pay-for-placement, pay-for-ranking, pay-for-performance (P4P) and pay-per-click (PPC) models. These models present online advertisements such as banner ads and text links to web surfing users. For example, in a PPC model, when ad viewers click on the ads, the clicks are registered and the advertiser is charged for a user having engaged the advertisement. In other words, advertisers pay a cost-per-click (CPC) for users that engage online advertising. Other online advertising models may also employ banner ads and text links and may charge for impressions. In the pay-per-impression model, if an ad is rendered with a text page for display to a user, the advertiser is charged under the assumption that a user may have viewed the advertisement and is thereby exposed to the goods/services offered by the advertisement. Current electronic search and advertising systems and corresponding user interfaces do not provide interfaces for engaging in the comparison of information and/or advertising that is as user-friendly, easy to navigate and straightforward as the disclosed information comparator interface. Current advertising systems serve a particular ad for a particular ad campaign. In contrast, in one embodiment the disclosed information comparator interface allows advertisers to present one or more different ads in a comparison context. As more and more information is placed on the web, and as more and more news and business entities make their information available on the internet, the conventional method of supplying search tokens and ordering results without comparative context hinders web users' efforts to evaluate competing information sources. As such, web users may be frustrated in that it is difficult or impossible to make meaningful comparisons and evaluations regarding information. The disclosed information comparator interface provides a straightforward interface that facilitates enhanced search mechanisms and improves research by allowing the comparison of information such as: news, advertising, and/or the like. Further, the information comparator interface provides a mechanism for analytics that assists in making information browsing and/or searches more efficient and meaningful. In one embodiment the information comparator interface allows users to compare and/or navigate through related and/or competing information and/or advertisements side-by-side. For example, in one embodiment, the information comparator interface displays several ads for a user (e.g., web user) to compare. In such an embodiment, a single user input selection may generate a side-by-side comparison, resulting in several ad placements simultaneously. As such, the information comparator may be employed by search engines, browsers, information pages, product comparison engines, advertising, research and other venues. The comparative nature encourages competition and excellence amongst information providers (e.g., advertisers) as their information items (e.g., ads) are presented side-by-side for user evaluation. The information comparator may act both as an application and as a flexible application program interface (API) that includes advances such as multi-pane viewing, multi-pane information placement, multi-pane click-thrus, comparative information navigations, and/or the like. In one embodiment a single selection (e.g., click) will present a user with a plurality of related information items and/or ads. FIG. 10 is of a block diagram illustrating a system controller for embodiments of the information comparator. For the purpose of illustrating functionality associated with the information comparator, the following discussion includes the information comparator implemented in the context of advertising. However, it is to be understood there is significant flexibility and scalability associated with the information comparator. As such, there are a wide variety of possible implementations of the information comparator that may be configured to meet the needs of a variety of end users. FIG. 1 provides a mixed data and logic flow overview of an embodiment of the information comparator. In such embodiments, advertisers 104 a-104 n or similar entities may submit information items or “ads” to the information comparator 105. As shown in the figure, the information comparator 105 may tag or otherwise identify received ads (see FIG. 1C for additional detail) and store the tagged ads in an ad database 106 or the like. In one embodiment, the information comparator generates a comparison presentation 110, which in some implementation comprises information panes in which ads or other information items may be displayed (discussed in greater detail below with respect to FIGS. 1C-1D). The information comparator places the comparison presentation 110 into an ad stream 111 for subsequent presentation to a user (e.g., web user), for example, by submitting it to an ad server and/or to an ad serving service provider. It is to be understood that the information comparator may be configured to interact with a wide variety of end users. Furthermore, it is to be understood that while the following discussion of users may be within the context of web users, it is not meant to be limited to such implementations. A user may then view a page on which the comparison presentation has been loaded 112. In one embodiment, the loaded comparison presentation may initially appear to the user as a banner ad (see FIG. 2B, ad 217), either for a general category (e.g., boats) or, alternatively, for a particular product or offering. If the comparison presentation is triggered 113 (e.g., the user clicks on or mouses over the comparison presentation), the ad database 106 may be queried for ads and/or associated ad tags corresponding to the comparison presentation 114 and/or additional information, such as site information, user information and/or the like. In one embodiment, the panes of the comparison presentation are populated with the top identified corresponding ads 115 and the comparison presentation and associated ads are displayed to the user 116. The user may then interact with the displayed comparison presentation and/or ad panes 117 and such interaction may be recorded 118. In some embodiments, advertiser(s) whose ads were displayed may be charged 119 or billed (discussed in greater details in FIGS. 8A-8C). For example, in one implementation, advertisers are charged a fee each time their ad is displayed in a comparison presentation (i.e., a “display fee”). In some embodiments, the fee may be a relatively lower or higher fee than would be charged for a single ad, for example, an advertiser may be charged according to the relative area or “real estate” of their ad within the comparison presentation (e.g., if there are four ads displayed, the fee charged for each ad would be half of the fee charged if there were only two ads displayed). Alternatively, or additionally, an advertiser may be charged a fee (i.e., a “user interaction fee”) when a user clicks through or selects their ad from a displayed comparison presentation, and/or when user interaction results in a transaction (e.g., user purchase). In some embodiments, the information comparator may include an account interface module to provide advertisers an account interface to manage preferences, payment information, tracking information, and/or bid on placement of ads (for example, as described in FIG. 8A). In one embodiment of the information comparator, an advertiser's fees may be accrued and the advertiser be billed periodically. In another embodiment, the information comparator provide an advertiser deposit module to allow an advertiser to deposit money to an associated account from which incurred fees may be debited. FIG. 1A provides an overview of the entities involved in one embodiment of the information comparator. The information comparator 105 may interact directly and/or indirectly with a web users' systems 101 (e.g., computers and/or like systems), web servers 102, and/or other content servers, such as ad servers 103. In some embodiments, aspects of the information comparator 105 may be implemented by and/or on web users' systems 101, web servers 102 and/or ad servers 103. In certain embodiments, advertisers 104 may interact with and/or utilize the services of the information comparator 105. The information comparator 105 may be configured so that users (e.g., web users) may request comparison presentations via provided controls on the users' system 101 (e.g., computers, cell phones, PDAs, set top boxes and/or the like). Alternatively, the information comparator 105 may dynamically provide users' systems 101, web servers 102 and/or content servers 103 with untripped comparison presentations that may be tripped by the user's action (such as a mouse over or click), web page processes, and/or the like. Generally, such requests or actions to the information comparator may be referred to as “comparison queries”. In some embodiments, additional details regarding the comparison query, such as the hardware profile, site context, user profile and/or history, demographic, psychographic, temporal and/or other types of information may be collected by the information comparator 105 and/or utilized in generating comparison query responses. In a further embodiment, the information comparator may discern and utilize indicia regarding a particular user's language and/or location, including: browser language preference settings, operating system preference settings, IP addresses, user search and/or browsing history and associated language usage, mobile device location information (e.g., GPS coordinates for GPS-enabled handheld computing device or phone), and/or the like, for example, as described in U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/804,150 filed Jun. 7, 2006 and titled “APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR LANGUAGE NEUTRAL SEARCH”, which is incorporated by reference. Some embodiments may use such indicia in determining and/or generating an appropriate comparison presentation and/or associated information items. For example, in some embodiments, advertisers may set rules and/or pay an associated fee to have their ad provided to a user with certain language/location indicia. In other embodiments, language and/or location indicia may be utilized by the information comparator in identifying user characteristics or attributes for subsequent analysis (e.g., demographic analysis) and/or user interaction metrics (described in detail with respect to FIGS. 7A-7B). In one embodiment, for example, when a user navigates to a web page, the user's system 101 may transmit a request to a web server 102 requesting web page data from the web server 102. The user's system 101 may then receive web page data from the web server 102. The received web page data may include instructions for and/or calls to the source of certain elements, such as advertisements and/or the like, executed by the user's system 101 in rendering the web page. As described above, in one embodiment, a comparison presentation or like comparison interface may be provided to a user via an interactive web page element, such as, for example, a web banner, banner advertisement and/or the like. In some embodiments, the information comparator 105 provides comparison presentation(s) and/or associated ad(s) through the interaction of a user's system 101 with a web server 102 and/or ad server 103. A comparison query may be constructed, for example, based on web site context or user specific information, sent to and received by the information comparator 105 and/or other associated servers 102/103. The received query may then be utilized to generate and/or retrieve an appropriate comparison presentation and/or associated information items or ads, which is/are the sent to the user's system for display to the user. In a further embodiment, the information comparator 105 is augmented by the participation of information item providers, such as advertisers. In one embodiment, an advertiser 104 may supply information items or ads for storage on information comparator associated servers. In an alternative embodiment, the ads may be stored on third party servers (e.g., an ad server 103) that are referenced by the information comparator 105. In some embodiments, an advertiser 104 may interact with the information comparator 105 to influence comparison presentations (e.g., via bidding on rules as discussed with respect to FIG. 8A) and/or to collect data regarding user interaction with comparison presentations and/or associated advertisements (e.g., user interaction metrics). FIG. 1B provides an overview flow diagram for an embodiment of the information comparator. In such an embodiment, the information comparator collects information items, such as advertisements and/or web pages 120, and establishes comparison presentation rules, filters, and/or parameters 121. Depending on the embodiment, the rules, filters, and/or parameters may be general, specific, hierarchical, comparator-defined, advertiser-defined, user-defined, and/or administrator-defined. Additional detail regarding rules, filters, and/or parameters is provided in the below discussion. Using the collected information items, rules/filters/parameters and/or additional information, the information comparator generates and/or distributes comparison presentations 122. Users (e.g., web users) subsequently view and interact with the comparison presentations and/or associated information items 123, for example, by clicking on or navigating in or around the comparison presentation. The information comparator records and manages the users' interactions 124, and also manages the comparison presentation rules, filters, and/or parameters 126. In some embodiments, the information comparator may communicate with advertisers 123 or other entities, for example, providing user interaction information (e.g., customer behavior data) for a particular comparison presentation that included the advertiser's product or service, or contextual advertisement data for a similar product. In an implementation, the advertiser may provide additional information items to the information comparator 127 based on received user interaction information. In one embodiment, the information comparator may provide an advertiser with a tool or utility to create, modify and/or add features to an information item (for example, as discussed with respect to FIGS. 9A-9B). Advertisers may also be allowed to select or indicate additional rules, filters and/or parameters 128. In one embodiment, an advertiser pays a fee to select or indicate additional rules, filters and/or parameters 128 associated with a comparison presentation and/or information item, while in another embodiment, multiple advertisers may bid to select or control certain rules, filters and/or parameters (see FIG. 8A). FIG. 1C provides a process flow diagram detailing additional aspects of comparison presentation generation for an embodiment of the information comparator. The information comparator may collect and store information items, such as advertisements, in an information item database 130. In one embodiment, the information items may be collected by the information comparator, for example, through spidering or crawling web sites and/or advertisements in order to aggregate information items. In another embodiment, the comparator may collect, tag and/or store information items from sources including ad streams and/or ad servers. Alternatively, or additionally, the information comparator may allow an entity, such as an advertiser, to submit information items and/or ads (as described in FIGS. 1B and 8A) and/or create information items, for example, using the preview generator as described in FIGS. 9A-9B. Depending on the implementation, the information comparator may then group, tag, and/or otherwise identify each information item 132. For example, information items may be grouped or tagged as “similar” information items. Alternatively, information items may be grouped or tagged as “dissimilar”. Accordingly, the information comparator may utilize such similar or dissimilar tags or groupings in the selection of information items for display in a comparison presentation. In one embodiment, an information item may be associated with multiple groups and/or have multiple tags, and such classifications may vary in scope. For example, an advertisement for a fishing boat may be in one of the same groupings and/or have one of the same tags as an advertisement for a ski boat (e.g., a “boat” group or tag). The fishing boat advertisement may also be in a “fishing boat” group (or subgroup) that excludes the ski boat advertisement. Additional classifications, groupings and/or tags, such as product, service, location, segment, cost, target demographic, and/or the like may also be assigned to information items. The information comparator may utilize stored information items in generating comparison presentations (examples of which are discussed in greater detail in FIGS. 4A-4B). If the comparison presentations are to be pre-generated 134, the information comparator determines if rules and/or filters exist that are to be used in generating the comparison presentation 136. For example, in one embodiment, there may be rules specifying that certain information items, groups and/or tags are not shown together or, alternatively, specifying that certain information items, groups and/or tags may be or must be shown in the same comparison presentation. Depending on the embodiment, the rules may be established by the information comparator and/or another entity, such as an advertiser. In one implementation, advertisers may pay or bid to control or set one or more of the rules or filters used in generating the comparison presentation (see discussion of FIG. 8A). In another embodiment, the rules/filters may be dynamic and respond to feedback (e.g., user interaction or behavior data collected from previous comparison presentations provided to users). If there are rules or filters 136, the information comparator identifies the applicable rules/filters and may generate one or more comparison presentations according to said rules/filters 140. If there are no established rules/filters 136, the information comparator may generate one or more default comparison presentations 138. The information comparator may then store the generated comparison presentations in a comparison presentation database 142. As shown in FIG. 1D, which continues the flow of FIG. 1C, some embodiments of the information comparator may await receipt of a comparison query. If a comparison query is received 144, the information comparator may check the comparison presentation database 146 to determine if a stored comparison presentation (e.g., a pre-generated and/or previously used comparison presentation) matches or corresponds to parameters from the received comparison query 148. If there is at least one matching comparison presentation 148, the information comparator determines if there is more than one matching comparison presentations 150. If there is only one matching comparison presentation 150, the identified comparison presentation is transmitted in response to the comparison query 166. If there are multiple matching comparison presentations, some embodiments of the information comparator may determine if there is supplemental comparison input 152, such as: rules (e.g., advertiser-specified rules), user location data, user system information, site context information, and/or historical data. If appropriate, the information comparator may utilize such input in sorting and/or filtering the potential comparison presentations 154. If supplemental input does not exist 152, the information comparator may, in some implementations, order the matching comparison presentations according to relevance. In either situation, the information comparator then identifies the most relevant comparison presentation 156 and transmits said comparison presentation 166. In one embodiment, if at least one matching or corresponding comparison presentation does not exist 148, the information comparator reviews the information item database to identify, order and/or rank potentially relevant information items 158. The information comparator then determines if there are applicable rules for the information items 160 and/or comparison query. If applicable rules exist, the information comparator applies the relevant rules to order or reorder the identified information items 162. The information comparator may then create a comparison presentation consisting of the top N (e.g., N=2,3,4,5. . . ) identified information items 164 and transmit the comparison presentation 166. As described above, some embodiments of the information comparator may utilize a comparison presentation database 146. In one embodiment, the comparison presentation database 146 may contain complete comparison presentations, including each comparison presentation's associated information items (e.g., ads). In another embodiment, the comparison presentation database may contain comparison presentation templates, with links and/or tag indicators identifying either specific ads or ad groups (i.e., ads with the same or similar tags) to be used or referenced when providing the comparison presentation to a user 166. In some embodiments, a comparison presentation template may be populated with tagged ads from an ad database 106. Alternatively, or additionally, ads may received from one or more ad servers or ad streams, and in some embodiments, such ads may be selected, filtered, evaluated and/or tagged dynamically by the information comparator. In some implementations, the information comparator manages comparison presentations through processing elements of a comparison presentation data structure. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1E, the comparison presentation data structure 181 is comprised of an identifier 182, layout data 183 such as comparison presentation size 184, number of ad panes (N) 185 and/or the like. The data structure may also indicate the specific comparison presentation content 186, which may include the N indicated ads 187 a-187 n and their associated content 188 a-188 n (e.g., text, images, audio, video, links and/or the like) and/or tags 189 a-189 n. The data structure may also contain parameters 190 indicating where and/or when an comparison presentation should be provided, including but not limited to: site context 191 (e.g., on an information technology website), location context 192 (e.g., to users in the Northeast), user demographic 193 (e.g., age/gender) and/or psychographic context (where applicable), and/or user system context 194, such as software (e.g., browser) and/or hardware specifications for the comparison presentation. In a further embodiment, the comparison presentation data structure also includes collected user interaction data and/or statistics 195 (e.g., user interaction metrics) characterizing or describing previous user interactions with the comparison presentation and/or associated ads. Such user interaction information may be general, providing aggregated data for multiple user interactions with a particular comparison presentation and/or information item over some time period. Alternatively, or additionally, such user interaction information may be specific, providing detail for each unique user interaction with a given comparison presentation. FIG. 2A shows a flow diagram associated with an implementation of the information comparator in which the information comparator 105 queries a user's system 101 (e.g., a web user's system) for display environment information 200 (e.g., hardware and/or software constraints) and/or other information. Based on the response to the system information query 202, the information comparator 105 selects an appropriate comparison presentation 204 and/or information items or ads to be provided to the user's system 101. For example, the comparison presentation to be provided to a user's cell phone may be different from the comparison presentation to be provided to a user's personal computer. In a further embodiment, additional information, such as user characteristics, web page data, search parameters, and/or profile information, may also be requested from about user's system 101 and/or web server 102, and said information used in determining appropriate comparison presentations. For example, the comparison presentation selected for a user located in California browsing a video game website could be different than the comparison presentation selected for a user in New York browsing a financial news website. Additional embodiments may further customize and/or optimize comparison presentations to users by the incorporation of user preferences and/or supplemental user information (e.g., demographic, psychographic, historical and/or like data). The above collected user information may additionally or alternatively be utilized by the information comparator in determining user interaction metrics (as discussed in detail in FIGS. 7A-7B). Such embodiments may incorporate a user login/registration procedure. A user may log in directly with the information comparator, for example, logging in to an information comparator website, or indirectly, for example, logging in to another service, such as email or browser toolbar login. In an alternative or additional embodiment, user tracking/identification tools (e.g., HTTP cookies or web bugs) may be utilized to establish, track and/or update basic user information. FIG. 2B illustrates an example of an implementation in which a comparison presentation is implemented as part of a banner ad. As illustrated, the banner ad and associated untripped comparison presentation 217 are incorporated as part of a web page displayed to a user. As discussed above, a tripping action 218, for example, a user mousing over or clicking an engagement component and/or banner ad, trips the comparison presentation and the tripped comparison 219 is displayed to the user 216. In some embodiments, the details provided in FIGS. 4A-7 may also apply to the above described embodiments of the information comparator. In some embodiments, the information comparator provides a user (e.g., web and/or end user) interface which may be customized and/or configured for a particular user and/or for a specific implementation. In one embodiment, the information comparator is configured to interact with software applications, such as web browsers, and provides users with a dynamically modifiable user interface with features for facilitating access to and control of comparison information. In one embodiment, the user interface may be incorporated into software applications as a plug-in component by using various Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs). These implementation may employ a modular and extensible architecture wherein different components of the user interface may be instantiated and uninstantiated based on the context of operation and/or the needs of the user. In one embodiment, the information comparator is implemented as a web browser plug-in that may be saved in a directory in which web browsers store plug-ins. When a web browser is loaded, the information comparator plug-in may be loaded along with the web browser. As such, the plug-in may be incorporated as an additional element within the browser, such as, for example, a browser toolbar or the like. In another embodiment, the user interface is provided within the context of a web page accessed using the browser. FIG. 2C discloses an overview of one embodiment of the information comparator in which the main user interface for the information comparator is configured as an information comparator interface controller 220. The information comparator and/or associated components can be implemented using a variety of software development techniques. For example, the information comparator can be implemented as a stand-alone application or a web-based application. The information comparator could be implemented using software techniques as required by the hardware platform(s) on which it runs, including, by way of non-limiting example, an entertainment console, personal digital assistant, phone, set-top box, and the like. The information comparator interface controller 220 allows the user to utilize the functions of the information comparator, such as accessing and controlling comparison information and/or comparison interface features and tools. For example, in one implementation, the information comparator may provide an information comparison tool (e.g., via a right-click information comparison function) that allows a user to request comparison information (e.g., competing ads) for user specified data, such as a displayed banner advertisement. In one embodiment, the information comparator interface controller 220 may connect to the internet 224 or other network to receive information concerning comparisons and/or the user, such as a user's history, profile and/or preferences. In some embodiments, an information comparator server 225 may be provided to manage/store comparison information and data. In another embodiment, the information comparator server 225 may alternatively or additionally manage/store a user's preferences, settings and/or characteristics. The information comparator interface controller 220 may also interact with an information comparator interface plug-in 223. The information comparator interface plug-in 223 provides a mechanism for information to be transferred to and from the information comparator interface controller 220. In one embodiment, a particular comparator interface feature or tool might be accessed or generated thorough the use of a web browser 222 or other host application with which the information comparator interface plug-in 223 is integrated, in order to provide added functionality. In this way, when a new process is started in the browser 222 the information comparator interface plug-in 223 provides a user interface and communication infrastructure to communicate the relevant information about the new process to the information comparator interface plug-in 223. The information comparator interface plug-in 223 can similarly request relevant information from the information comparator interface controller 220, such as the user's settings and characteristics, accessible to the host browser 222. In some embodiments, a unique instance of the information comparator may be provided for a user by having a local version of the information comparator on the user's systems (e.g., personal computer or the like). A version of the information comparator may be accessed remotely by a user or users. In some embodiments, users might be provided a unique instance of the information comparator via user accounts with usernames and passwords, where a user's unique instance of the information comparator stores relevant user specific information such as settings and characteristics, and in a further embodiment, provides access to customized applications, features and tools to a particular user. In one implementation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2C, the information comparator interface plug-in 223 integrates with the user's browser 222 to provide a mechanism to transfer information between the information comparator and the browser. In some embodiments, in order to allow the information comparator to receive, store and/or transfer information when the information comparator interface controller 220 is not actively running, a background process 221 is provided to supply a connection interface for the information comparator interface plug-in 223. The background process could be embodied, for example, as a daemon or like process. In some embodiments, the information may be stored on the network accessible information comparator server 225 that may be accessed by the information comparator interface plug-in 223 and/or information comparator interface controller 220. FIG. 2D provides a flow diagram of an interface aspect for one embodiment of information comparator. In such an embodiment, when a user encounters an advertisement or other item of interest 226 while browsing, for example a banner ad for an electric razor, the user may initiate the information comparison interface feature 228 (e.g., via the provided right click functionality as described above). A comparison query may then be built based on the selected item 230 (e.g., the banner ad). The query may include information from the ad, web page, user characteristics and/or the like. The query is processed 232 and the resulting comparison information is returned 234 and presented to the user 236. In one implementation, the provided comparison information includes information regarding other types of items, such as other brands or models of electric razors. In another implementation, the provided comparison information may include competing retailers offering the selected product. FIG. 3A is a screen image diagram illustrating an interface aspect of one embodiment of the information comparator. A web browser 305 has been navigated to a search engine (e.g., www.accoona.com) that implements a version of the information comparator. Upon navigating to the search engine, a user provided input as a search term in a search box 310, in this case for “New Fishing Boats.” The search engine obtained the search tokens from the user via http post commands via the user's web browser and/or like mechanism. In one embodiment, an artificial intelligence enhanced search engine as has been described in applicants' PCT patent application Ser. No. PCT/05/20545 filed Jun. 10, 2005 and titled “Apparatus, Method and System of Artificial Intelligence for Data Searching,” may be used to obtain the query tokens and return search results 325. FIG. 4A is a screen image diagram illustrating aspects of an information comparator selection component. Upon the user triggering the information comparator engagement component 311, a user's web browser will load and present the user with a comparison presentation (i.e., a preview of related and/or competing information 411). In one embodiment, the engagement component 311 is a hyperlink linking to the server address of the information comparator with an identifier that will retrieve the search related items. In one embodiment, the engagement component embeds the user's original search tokens. In another embodiment, the engagement component 311 contains a unique session identifier that will be used to find the related information on the information comparator server. In such an embodiment, the search engine may refine the relatedness (e.g., similarity/dissimilarity) of information. This may be achieved from when the user provided the original search tokens 310 until the user triggers the engagement component 311. In another embodiment, related information may be cached at the server for retrieval. The information comparator may instantiate a comparison presentation or preview selection component (“preview selector”) 411 in a number of ways. The preview selector includes a number of panes, each having comparative information, 415, 420, 425, 430, and various navigation and control widgets 470, 475, 486, 490. In one embodiment, AJAX is used so that the preview selector overlays the current web page 310, 410. As shown in FIG. 4B, the preview selector fills the user's entire web browser viewing area with an overlay containing previews 415, 420, 425, 430 of comparative information (e.g., information items). In an alternative embodiment, a new single browser window is spawned containing previews 415, 420, 425, 430 of the comparative information (see 511 of FIGS. 5A and 5B). In another embodiment, multiple browser windows or tabs are spawned, each holding one or more items of comparative information. In some embodiments, the preview selector may be sized to meet the requirements or needs of users and/or advertisers. In one embodiment, the preview selector may grow to take up the user's full screen space. In another embodiment, the preview selector will grow a specified amount. In yet another embodiment, the preview selector will not grow; it may even be shrunk. Numerous sizing and positions may be employed. Although FIG. 4A shows four items of comparative information (e.g., fishing boat related information), the information comparator may provide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more, etc. comparative items of information. The information items are presented in comparative information panes. In one embodiment, a slider widget 490 may accompany the preview selector that allows the user to increase or decrease the number of comparative panes dynamically. Accordingly, the user may increase or decrease the number of information items that are displayed. In addition, the user may engage a widget to dismiss 486 a pane within the preview selector. In one embodiment, the dismissal widget is a close box widget 486 and is overlaid on the information item 415, 420, 425, 430. By engaging the close widget 486, the user may “prune” the comparative information down to view only on items of interest; e.g., if the user is initially shown four panes of comparative information, the user may close two of the panes with the close box and then navigate through those two panes to make further comparative assessments. In one embodiment, a restore widget may be provided to allow user's to restore a dismissed pane, in one implementation via tracking and displaying a user-navigable listing of panes presented and closed. In another embodiment, the closed pane(s) may be dynamically replaced with new pane(s). In a further embodiment, the new pane(s) is/are determined using information regarding the relationship between the pane(s) which were closed and those which were not. For example, if the user closed panes which provided ads for boats with inboard motors, and the remaining panes provided ads for boats with outboard motors, the new panes may be selected to only include ads for boats with outboard motors. Numerous other comparative presentations are contemplated as being within the scope of this disclosure. In one embodiment, the preview selector component 411 is navigable. In such an embodiment, each of the panes includes fully navigable information. In one embodiment, a navigation selector 475 may be placed and/or overlaid on each of the information panes and/or items 470. For example, where each pane includes (D)HTML, a user may select hyperlinks in any of the panels and the panel will act like a “mini web browser.” This will allow the user to navigate through multiple comparative information sources simultaneously in each pane of the preview selector; all without ever leaving the original web page they were navigating. Once presented with the preview selector 411, the user may review the presented comparative information. For example, in the case where the comparative information is comprised of four advertisements, the user may decide to select 475 an advertisement (e.g., “Water fuels the fire”) 415 by selecting the information in one of the comparative information panes 415. It should be noted that while providing navigation in the preview selector component 411 is useful in many contexts, in other contexts all that is needed is a preview 411 as discussed in greater detail in FIGS. 9A-9B. FIG. 4B provides a wire frame diagram illustrating embodiments of the information comparator selection component. FIG. 6 is of a wire frame diagram illustrating embodiments of the information comparator with an enlarged view. By engaging a navigation selector 675, the user may enlarge any one of the numerous comparative information panes and/or items. Upon the user engaging a navigation selector 675, a selected information item may change its comparative position to one of prominence (as shown in FIG. 6). It should be noted that in such an embodiment, although the information item may be re-sized to take up the entire web browser pane and/or window, the original web page being viewed by the user may be maintained so that if the user decides to dismiss the comparative information items, the user's previous web browsing position may be maintained. In another embodiment, the original web page may be dismissed. In yet another embodiment, engaging the navigation selector 675 may result in spawning a new web browser page based on the information item. By re-sizing the selected information item to a visual position of prominence, it allows a user to navigate the information item with greater freedom and focus. The user may engage a widget to dismiss the information comparator selector component 411, 486. In one embodiment, when the information comparator selector component is in a spawned window, the user may simply use the window's close box widget to dismiss the window. In another embodiment, a close box widget is overlaid on the information item 486. In addition, a user may engage the navigation selector 675 again to restore the information comparator selector component 411 to the status quo ante as was illustrated in FIGS. 4A and 4B. In an alternative embodiment, when a user enlarges an information item or pane, the enlargement may take up most of the web browser space but leave a residual space into which ads may be placed 610. FIG. 7A provides an interaction flow diagram for an embodiment of the information comparator interface. The preview selector component 411 (from FIG. 4A) or like comparison presentation is provided to the user 705, as discussed above. If the user closes the comparison presentation 710, the action may be recorded and the user interaction information stored 711. If a user closes one or more panes 715 (e.g., by engaging the close widget 486) the user interaction information is stored 716. If the information comparator interface is set to not repopulate closed pane(s) 720, the comparison presentation may be redrawn to include only the remaining items of interest 721, as described above. Alternatively, if the information comparator interface is set to repopulate the closed pane 720, the appropriate new pane may be determined 725 and used to replace the closed pane 726. In one embodiment, the new panes are selected based on the relationship between the pane(s) which were closed and the panes which remain open. For example, if the user closed panes for advertisements for luxury boats and low end boats, but did not close panes for mid-range boats, the new panes may be selected from ads for mid-range boats. In some embodiments, the above process may be iterated to further refine the provided information comparison. If there is no user interaction 730, the information comparator may cycle/wait for additional interaction or may close the panes and/or preview selector after a set time has elapsed. If a user does click on or interact with a pane 730, the user's action is recorded 731. As described previously, in some embodiments, the comparison presentation (e.g., preview selector component 411) is navigable. If the pane is navigable 735, navigation capabilities, such as those described above, may be provided to the user 740. If the pane is not navigable 735, the user may be directed to a landing page associated with the information item in the pane 745, for example, via a hyperlink. Relevant information, such as the ads presented and the corresponding relationships, additional user information, and/or interaction information (e.g., amount of time the selector component or an individual ad was displayed before being closed) may also be collected and recorded. Such information may be used to improve the performance of the preview selector component and/or the individual ads. The collected information may also be valuable to advertisers interested in gauging customer interest in and/or response to the comparison information and/or targeting certain users. FIG. 7B provides a flow diagram illustrating one aspect of user interaction analysis for an embodiment of the information comparator. The stored comparison presentation user interaction data is received and processed 750 and the associated comparison presentation details and/or parameters are retrieved 755. Based on the user interaction data and retrieved comparison presentation information, the information comparator may then perform a user interaction analysis 760 and determine user interaction metrics 765. The information comparator may then output (e.g., to advertisers) user interaction analysis reports and/or user interaction metrics 770, for example, providing them to an advertiser as part of an account interface (as discussed in FIG. 8A). For example, in one embodiment, the information comparator may conduct a covariance determination for collected user interaction information and associated comparison presentation data and/or information item or ad data, in some embodiment outputting such information as a user interaction report and/or performance metrics. In some embodiments, such metrics may be provided to advertisers or like entities, and/or used in generating/refining comparison presentations, comparison queries or responses, and/or pricing services associated with the information comparator. The information comparator may receive and process stored user interaction data 750 to determine primary user interaction metrics. Auxiliary information, including information item details, comparison presentation details, and/or additional user information, corresponding to the stored user interaction information may also be retrieved 755 (e.g., the details regarding the comparison presentation and/or associated information items with which the user interacted). For example, this information may be retrieved from a comparison presentation database. From the primary user interaction metrics and retrieved auxiliary information, a comparison presentation and/or information item covariance analysis and/or metric(s) may be determined 765. In some embodiments of the information comparator, the covariance analysis and/or metric(s) may be associated with an advertiser's profile and/or associated comparison presentation data. In some embodiments, each user selection, interaction and/or click may be recorded when a user navigates or makes comparative selections within comparison presentations. These user activities may be tracked, stored, and subsequently used for numerous comparative analytics. As users navigate between comparative information items and/or sources, the users' selections as between and among comparative information items may be analyzed for correlations, associations, preferences, and/or the like and employed to further refine information ontologies, such as described in applicants' PCT patent application Ser. No. PCT/05/20545 filed Jun. 10, 2005 and titled “Apparatus, Method and System of Artificial Intelligence for Data Searching,” thereby enhancing future information associations. For example, where four information items are provided to a user, and the user commonly navigates around one web page in a first information item, yet, navigates deeper to another web page in a second information item, a confidence rating corresponding to an association between the commonly navigated items may be strengthened in the search ontology and/or incorporated into determining user interaction metrics. Information comparator-determined user interaction metrics, for example, aggregated interaction metrics, may provide insight into the relationship between ads and/or associated user/consumer behavior. These types of metrics may be of value to advertisers or other entities, such as marketing strategy organizations. In one embodiment, information comparator-determined interaction metrics may include consumer decision process information and/or consumer preference information. Furthermore, interaction metrics may include product or service positioning information. For example, by tracking users' interactions with an advertiser's ad relative to competing ads, the determined interaction metrics may provide details about how consumers view the advertiser's product, service, and/or the ad itself, relative to competing ads. In one embodiment, the information comparator may utilize user/consumer behavior, historical, demographic, psychographic and/or like information in determining interaction metrics. For example, in one embodiment, the information comparator may determine metrics indicating that a certain ad is preferred over other ads within a comparison presentation when said comparison presentation is presented to users browsing a particular website (such as a general news website). However, the information comparator may recognize the same ad may not be preferred by users over competing ads when the comparison presentation is presented on another website (such as a financial news website). In some embodiments, the information comparator may provide an interface for advertisers to utilize and interact with certain features of the information comparator. FIG. 8A provides a process flow diagram illustrating an aspect of advertiser interaction for an embodiment of the information comparator. An advertiser accesses the information comparator 800, for example, via a provided comparator website, and may be prompted to login. If the advertiser has not registered with the information comparator 805, the advertiser may be prompted to register/create an account 810, for example, providing contact and/or billing information. In some embodiments, the information comparator may create an advertiser profile and populate the profile with information provided by the advertiser and/or subsequent user interaction information. The information comparator may then allow registered advertisers to access an advertiser account interface 815. From the provided interface, an advertiser may manage an information comparator account 820. In some embodiments, the information comparator may provide a selection and/or bidding module to allow advertisers to bid for or otherwise select comparison presentation generation rules 825 (e.g., rules directing the process for determining which comparison presentation will be provided in response to a particular comparison query) and/or information item rules 830 (e.g., how information items are displayed and/or arranged in a particular comparison presentation). The information comparator may also provide a module to allow advertisers to identify, generate, upload and/or otherwise manage ads or information items 835 (e.g., the preview generator described in FIGS. 9A-9B). Some embodiments of the information comparator may also provide a performance module allowing an advertiser to monitor the performance of ads 840 from various levels of detail. For example, in one embodiment, the performance module may allow an advertiser to determine the performance of ads 850, reviewing either performance metrics for an individual ad 851 or multiple ads 853. In some embodiments, the performance module may allow an advertiser to review comparison presentation performance 860, for example, by providing metrics for single 861 or multiple 863 comparison presentations. In a further embodiment, the information comparator may generate system-wide performance reports and/or metrics, which may be made available to advertisers. As described above, some embodiments of the information comparator may be implemented as a vehicle for comparative advertising, and as such, may utilize numerous revenue models. In one embodiment, a flat rate is charged for displaying the ads most related to a given topic (e.g., comparison query). In another embodiment, advertisers may bid for placement of given topics, inputs, and/or contexts, with the top bidders' ad placements presented to users (e.g., via a comparison presentation). In a further embodiment, advertisers' bids may be utilized in determining the arrangement and/or location of the ad as presented to users. For example, if the comparison display is a 2×2 grid (e.g., as described in FIGS. 4A and 4B), the winning bidder may be assigned to the upper left corner, or alternatively may be given first choice in selecting ad placement within the presented comparison, and the second highest bidder given second choice, and so forth. In some embodiments, the information comparator may utilize multi-part pricing (e.g., as illustrated by FIG. 8B, which provides an example fee table 865 and corresponding graph of fees 866). In the embodiment shown in the figure, the fee an advertiser is charged when an ad is displayed to a user (e.g., via a comparison presentation) may decrease according to the number of other ads included in the comparison presentation (i.e., advertisers pay for the area or “real estate” within the comparison presentation). In a further embodiment, the display fee may be further determined or augmented by the placement of the ad within the comparison presentation. For example, if the panes of the comparison presentation are arranged in a 2×2 grid, the upper left pane may have the highest fee and the lower right pane may have the lowest fee. In one embodiment, advertisers may bid-on or otherwise select the number of panes (N) that are associated with a comparison presentation that displays their ad. In another embodiment, display parameters such as the number of panes (N) and/or the inclusion/exclusion of certain ads may be driven by the information comparator. FIG. 8B also illustrates an interaction fee utilized in some embodiments of the information comparator. When a user interacts with, engages, or navigates (e.g., clicks, browses and/or the like) an ad in a displayed comparison presentation, the interaction may be recorded and the corresponding advertiser charged for the user interaction or navigation. As shown by the figure, a user interaction or navigation fee may be charged to the advertiser based on the number of other ads in the comparison presentation. Although the display fee is lower when the comparison presentation includes more ads, the interaction or navigation fee may be higher, depending on the implementation. Advertisers targeting particular types of consumers and/or trying to optimize their advertising budget may find such an implementation particularly appealing as it provides a relatively low cost per view by consumers (i.e., if the ad is displayed with other ads as part of a comparison presentation). The advertiser only pays the higher price for users who are most interested in their service or product (i.e., users who select the advertiser's ad from multiple similar ads). The fees or charges associated with an advertiser may calculated continuously and/or periodically by the information comparator, depending on the implementation. In some embodiments, the information comparator may include an information comparator billing module to manage charges and bill advertiser appropriately (e.g., using one or a combination of the above disclosed pricing or bidding methods). FIG. 8C provides a flow diagram illustrating periodic advertiser fee determination 870 in an embodiment of the information comparator. The information comparator billing module determines if it is the end of the specified advertiser billing period 871 (e.g., as defined in the advertiser's profile), and if not, waits and cycles. At the end of the period, the information comparator billing module may query the advertiser's profile to determine the associated ad pricing information 872 (e.g., the advertiser's display fee(s) and interaction fee(s) as described in FIG. 8B). The billing module may then determine the user interaction information associated with the advertiser's ad(s). For example, by querying the user interaction database 873, the billing module may determine user viewing history, user interaction history, and/or corresponding metrics for each of the advertiser's ad(s). The billing module may determine each ad's associated charges 874 (e.g., display fee multiplied by the number of displays plus the interaction fee multiplied by the number of interactions). The billing module may then determine the total ad charges 875 (e.g., summing all the individual ad charges) and apply any discounts and/or additional fees 876. In some embodiments in which advertisers bid on rules or the like, there may be a periodic or flat fee associated with the rule. Alternatively, a fee may be charged for each time a rule is implemented by the information comparator. In such embodiments, these fees may also be incorporated into an advertiser's fee determination by the billing module. The information comparator and/or billing module may then update the advertiser's profile and/or apply the determined charges to said advertiser's account. Embodiments of the information comparator may provide an information comparator preview generator to generate preview displays of selected information. The preview generator may, in some embodiments, allow sources (e.g., advertisers, creators, owners, and/or operators of websites hosting content) to generate information items. For example, in one implementation, the information comparator preview generator could be provided as a tool or utility that allows advertisers and/or the like to select, create and/or generate information items from existing media, such as web sites. The information items may then be stored and used in subsequent comparison presentations provided to users, as described above. FIGS. 9A and 9B provide a screen image and process flow diagram, respectively, illustrating aspects of some embodiments of the information comparator preview generator. FIG. 9A illustrates an embodiment in which the preview generator is a modified web browser 902 which allows an advertiser or like entity to specify an initial source of content 903 (e.g. www.cars.com). The specified source of content 905 (i.e., web page) will render within the bounds of the preview generator page. Various tools may be supplied to allow the advertiser to increase/decrease the displayed area of the page 904, rotate the page, and/or otherwise manipulate aspects of the rendered page. In one embodiment, an advertiser or other information source (e.g., creators, owners, and/or operators of sites hosting content) may be provided access to the features of the preview generator by accessing a provided account interface 815 and use those feature to generate information items 835 (FIG. 8A). As shown in FIG. 9B, a user (such as a registered advertiser) may view a particular page 920 and select or “frame” the desired area or region of the page 925 by using the preview generator. An example of this is shown as element 910 of FIG. 9A. In one embodiment, if the comparison presentation, comparison pane and/or information item is not dynamic 930 (i.e., navigable), the Preview Generator may make a bitmap and/or take a snapshot of a desired region 935. In one embodiment, the bitmap and/or snapshot is saved as an image or graphic file (e.g., GIF, JPG, PNG, etc.) format 940. A link (e.g., hyperlink) to the appropriate page, such as the source page or other appropriate landing page, may be associated with the saved image file 945, such that if a viewer of the image file (e.g., a user/customer viewing a comparison presentation and/or comparison pane that includes the image file) clicks or selects the image, they are directed to the appropriate page (i.e., via the hyperlink). The image file, associated link, and/or other information representative of the content may then be stored in an information item database 980. In one embodiment, if the comparison presentation, comparison pane and/or information item is dynamic 930 (i.e., navigable), but not optimized 950, the preview generator may capture the underlying information (e.g., HTML) for the entire page 955, identify the selected/framed area of the page 960, and save the underlying information and display selected area identification 965 for use in rendering the area in the preview selector. The saved information and identification, along with any additional information representative of the content, may then be stored in an information item database 980. In one embodiment, if the preview is optimized 950, the Preview Generator captures 970 and saves 975 only the underlying information for the selected or framed area of the page. The information and any additional representative information is stored in an information item database 980. In one embodiment, such a preview or information item is saved as being representative of an ad. In another embodiment, where the information is from a web site and/or advertiser, the content owner may make a custom web page for preview. In another embodiment, the information comparator generates a “miniature” image of an entire specified landing page for the information provider. This embodiment may be a default embodiment when a content provider does not specify or otherwise provide a preview or information item. In yet another embodiment, the entire site is presented in whole. For example, each pane may have scrollers 422 of FIG. 4A for navigation through the entirety of the page. FIG. 10 of the present disclosure illustrates inventive aspects of an Information Comparator controller 1001 in a block diagram. In this embodiment, the Information Comparator controller 1001 may serve to aggregate, process, store, search, serve, identify, instruct, generate, match, and/or facilitate comparative interactions with information, and/or other related data. Typically, users, which may be people and/or other systems, engage information technology systems (e.g., commonly computers) to facilitate information processing. In turn, computers employ processors to process information; such processors are often referred to as central processing units (CPU). A common form of processor is referred to as a microprocessor. CPUs use communicative signals to enable various operations. Such communicative signals may be stored and/or transmitted in batches as program and/or data components facilitate desired operations. These stored instruction code signals may engage the CPU circuit components to perform desired operations. A common type of program is a computer operating system, which, commonly, is executed by CPU on a computer; the operating system enables and facilitates users to access and operate computer information technology and resources. Common resources employed in information technology systems include: input and output mechanisms through which data may pass into and out of a computer; memory storage into which data may be saved; and processors by which information may be processed. Often information technology systems are used to collect data for later retrieval, analysis, and manipulation, commonly, which is facilitated through a database program. Information technology systems provide interfaces that allow users to access and operate various system components. In one embodiment, the Information Comparator system controller 1001 may be connected to and/or communicate with entities such as, but not limited to: one or more users from user input devices 1011; peripheral devices 1012; a cryptographic processor device 1028; and/or a communications network 1013. Networks are commonly thought to comprise the interconnection and interoperation of clients, servers, and intermediary nodes in a graph topology. It should be noted that the term “server” as used throughout this disclosure refers generally to a computer, other device, program, or combination thereof that processes and responds to the requests of remote users across a communications network. Servers serve their information to requesting “clients.” The term “client” as used herein refers generally to a computer, other device, program, or combination thereof that is capable of processing and making requests and obtaining and processing any responses from servers across a communications network. A computer, other device, program, or combination thereof that facilitates, processes information and requests, and/or furthers the passage of information from a source user to a destination user is commonly referred to as a “node.” Networks are generally thought to facilitate the transfer of information from source points to destinations. A node specifically tasked with furthering the passage of information from a source to a destination is commonly called a “router.” There are many forms of networks such as Local Area Networks (LANs), Pico networks, Wide Area Networks (WANs), Wireless Networks (WLANs), etc. For example, the Internet is generally accepted as being an interconnection of a multitude of networks whereby remote clients and servers may access and interoperate with one another. The Information Comparator system controller 1001 may be based on common computer systems that may comprise, but are not limited to, components such as: a computer systemization 1002 connected to memory 1029. The CPU comprises at least one high-speed data processor adequate to execute program components for executing user and/or system-generated requests. The CPU may be a microprocessor such as AMD's Athlon, Duron and/or Opteron; IBM and/or Motorola's PowerPC; IBM's and Sony's Cell processor; Intel's Celeron, Itanium, Pentium, Xeon, and/or XScale; and/or the like processor(s). The CPU interacts with memory through signal passing through conductive conduits to execute stored signal program code according to conventional data processing techniques. Such signal passing facilitates communication within the Information Comparator system controller and beyond through various interfaces. Should processing requirements dictate a greater amount speed, parallel, mainframe and/or super-computer architectures may similarly be employed. Alternatively, should deployment requirements dictate greater portability, smaller Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) may be employed. The power source 1086 may be of any standard form for powering small electronic circuit board devices such as the following power cells: alkaline, lithium hydride, lithium ion, lithium polymer, nickel cadmium, solar cells, and/or the like. Other types of AC or DC power sources may be used as well. In the case of solar cells, in one embodiment, the case provides an aperture through which the solar cell may capture photonic energy. The power cell 1086 is connected to at least one of the interconnected subsequent components of the Information Comparator system thereby providing an electric current to all subsequent components. In one example, the power source 1086 is connected to the system bus component 1004. In an alternative embodiment, an outside power source 1086 is provided through a connection across the I/O 1008 interface. For example, a USB and/or IEEE 1394 connection carries both data and power across the connection and is therefore a suitable source of power. Card International Association (PCMCIA), and/or the like. ((Ultra) (Serial) ATA(PI)), (Enhanced) Integrated Drive Electronics ((E)IDE), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1394, fiber channel, Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), and/or the like. Network interfaces 1010 may accept, communicate, and/or connect to a communications network 1013. Through a communications network 113, the Information Comparator system controller is accessible through remote clients 1033 b (e.g., computers with web browsers) by users 1033 a. Network interfaces may employ connection protocols such as, but not limited to: direct connect, Ethernet (thick, thin, twisted pair 10/100/1000 Base T, and/or the like), Token Ring, wireless connection such as IEEE 802.11a-x, and/or the like. A communications network may be any one and/or the combination of the following: a direct interconnection; the Internet; a Local Area Network (LAN); a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN); an Operating Missions as Nodes on the Internet (OMNI); a secured custom connection; a Wide Area Network (WAN); a wireless network (e.g., employing protocols such as, but not limited to a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), I-mode, and/or the like); and/or the like. A network interface may be regarded as a specialized form of an input output interface. Further, multiple network interfaces 1010 may be used to engage with various communications network types 1013. For example, multiple network interfaces may be employed to allow for the communication over broadcast, multicast, and/or unicast networks. It should be noted that although user input devices and peripheral devices may be employed, the Information Comparator system controller may be embodied as an embedded, dedicated, and/or monitor-less (i.e., headless) device, wherein access would be provided over a network interface connection. Cryptographic units such as, but not limited to, microcontrollers, processors 1026, interfaces 1027, and/or devices 1028 may be attached, and/or communicate with the Information Comparator system controller. A MC68HC16 microcontroller, commonly manufactured by Motorola Inc., may be used for and/or within cryptographic units. Equivalent microcontrollers and/or processors may also be used. The MC68HC16 microcontroller utilizes a 16-bit multiply-and-accumulate instruction in the 16 MHz configuration and requires less than one second to perform a 512-bit RSA private key operation. Cryptographic units support the authentication of communications from interacting agents, as well as allowing for anonymous transactions. Cryptographic units may also be configured as part of CPU. Other commercially available specialized cryptographic processors include VLSI Technology's 33 MHz 6868 or Semaphore Communications' 40 MHz Roadrunner 184. Generally, any mechanization and/or embodiment allowing a processor to affect the storage and/or retrieval of information is regarded as memory 1029. However, memory is a fungible technology and resource, thus, any number of memory embodiments may be employed in lieu of or in concert with one another. It is to be understood that the Information Comparator system controller and/or a computer systemization may employ various forms of memory 1029. For example, a computer systemization may be configured wherein the functionality of on-chip CPU memory (e.g., registers), RAM, ROM, and any other storage devices are provided by a paper punch tape or paper punch card mechanism; of course such an embodiment would result in an extremely slow rate of operation. In a typical configuration, memory 1029 will include ROM 1006, RAM 1005, and a storage device 1014. A storage device 1014 may be any conventional computer system storage. Storage devices may include a drum; a (fixed and/or removable) magnetic disk drive; a magneto-optical drive; an optical drive (i.e., CD ROM/RAM/Recordable (R), ReWritable (RW), DVD R/RW, etc.); an array of devices (e.g., Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)); and/or other devices of the like. Thus, a computer systemization generally requires and makes use of memory. The memory 1029 may contain a collection of program and/or database components and/or data such as, but not limited to: operating system component(s) 1015 (operating system); information server component(s) 1016 (information server); user interface component(s) 1017 (user interface); Web browser component(s) 1018 (Web browser); database(s) 1019; mail server component(s) 1021; mail client component(s) 1022; cryptographic server component(s) 1020 (cryptographic server); the Information Comparator system component(s) 1035; and/or the like (i.e., collectively a component collection). These components may be stored and accessed from the storage devices and/or from storage devices accessible through an interface bus. Although non-conventional program components such as those in the component collection, typically, are stored in a local storage device 1014, they may also be loaded and/or stored in memory such as: peripheral devices, RAM, remote storage facilities through a communications network, ROM, various forms of memory, and/or the like. The operating system component 1015 is an executable program component facilitating the operation of the Information Comparator system controller. Typically, the operating system facilitates access of I/O, network interfaces, peripheral devices, storage devices, and/or the like. The operating system may be a highly fault tolerant, scalable, and secure system such as Apple Macintosh OS X (Server), AT&T Plan 9, Be OS, Linux, Unix, and/or the like operating systems. However, more limited and/or less secure operating systems also may be employed such as Apple Macintosh OS, Microsoft DOS, Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/3.1/95/98/CE/Millenium/Vista/XP (Server), Palm OS, and/or the like. An operating system may communicate to and/or with other components in a component collection, including itself, and/or the like. Most frequently, the operating system communicates with other program components, user interfaces, and/or the like. For example, the operating system may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, and/or responses. The operating system, once executed by the CPU, may enable the interaction with communications networks, data, I/O, peripheral devices, program components, memory, user input devices, and/or the like. The operating system may provide communications protocols that allow the Information Comparator system controller to communicate with other entities through a communications network 1013. Various communication protocols may be used by the Information Comparator system controller as a subcarrier transport mechanism for interaction, such as, but not limited to: multicast, TCP/IP, UDP, unicast, and/or the like. Access to the Information Comparator system database may be achieved through a number of database bridge mechanisms such as through scripting languages as enumerated below (e.g., CGI) and through inter-application communication channels as enumerated below (e.g., CORBA, WebObjects, etc.). Any data requests through a Web browser are parsed through the bridge mechanism into appropriate grammars as required by the Information Comparator system. In one embodiment, the information server would provide a Web form accessible by a Web browser. Entries made into supplied fields in the Web form are tagged as having been entered into the particular fields, and parsed as such. The entered terms are then passed along with the field tags, which act to instruct the parser to generate queries directed to appropriate tables and/or fields. In one embodiment, the parser may generate queries in standard SQL by instantiating a search string with the proper join/select commands based on the tagged text entries, wherein the resulting command is provided over the bridge mechanism to the Information Comparator system as a query. Upon generating query results from the query, the results are passed over the bridge mechanism, and may be parsed for formatting and generation of a new results Web page by the bridge mechanism. Such a new results Web page is then provided to the information server, which may supply it to the requesting Web browser. Also, an information server may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, and/or responses. A user interface component 1017 is a stored program component that is executed by a CPU. The user interface may be a conventional graphic user interface as provided by, with, and/or atop operating systems and/or operating environments such as Apple Macintosh OS, e.g., Aqua, GNUSTEP, Microsoft Windows (NT/XP), Unix X Windows (KDE, Gnome, and/or the like), mythTV, and/or the like. The user interface may allow for the display, execution, interaction, manipulation, and/or operation of program components and/or system facilities through textual and/or graphical facilities. The user interface provides a facility through which users may affect, interact, and/or operate a computer system. A user interface may communicate to and/or with other components in a component collection, including itself, and/or facilities of the like. Most frequently, the user interface communicates with operating systems, other program components, and/or the like. The user interface may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, and/or responses. Python, WebObjects, and/or the like. The mail server may support communications protocols such as, but not limited to: Internet message access protocol (IMAP), Microsoft Exchange, post office protocol (POP3), simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP), and/or the like. The mail server can route, forward, and process incoming and outgoing mail messages that have been sent, relayed and/or otherwise traversing through and/or to the Information Comparator system. Access to the Information Comparator system mail may be achieved through a number of APIs offered by the individual Web server components and/or the operating system. Also, a mail server may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, information, and/or responses. A mail client component 1022 is a stored program component that is executed by a CPU 1003. The mail client may be a conventional mail viewing application such as Apple Mail, Microsoft Entourage, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, and/or the like. Mail clients may support a number of transfer protocols, such as: IMAP, Microsoft Exchange, POP3, SMTP, and/or the like. A mail client may communicate to and/or with other components in a component collection, including itself, and/or facilities of the like. Most frequently, the mail client communicates with mail servers, operating systems, other mail clients, and/or the like; e.g., it may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, information, and/or responses. Generally, the mail client provides a facility to compose and transmit electronic mail messages. A cryptographic server component 1020 is a stored program component that is executed by a CPU 1003, cryptographic processor 1026, cryptographic processor interface 1027, cryptographic processor device 1028, and/or the like. Cryptographic processor interfaces will allow for expedition of encryption and/or decryption requests by the cryptographic component; however, the cryptographic component, alternatively, may run on a conventional CPU. The cryptographic component allows for the encryption and/or decryption of provided data. The cryptographic component allows for both symmetric and asymmetric (e.g., Pretty Good Protection (PGP)) encryption and/or decryption. The cryptographic component may employ cryptographic techniques such as, but not limited to: digital certificates (e.g., X.509 authentication framework), digital signatures, dual signatures, enveloping, password access protection, public key management, and/or the like. The cryptographic component will facilitate numerous (encryption and/or decryption) security protocols such as, but not limited to: checksum, Data Encryption Standard (DES), Elliptical Curve Encryption (ECC), International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA), Message Digest 5 (MD5, which is a one way hash function), passwords, Rivest Cipher (RC5), Rijndael, RSA (which is an Internet encryption and authentication system that uses an algorithm developed in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), and/or the like. Employing such encryption security protocols, the Information Comparator system may encrypt all incoming and/or outgoing communications and may serve as node within a virtual private network (VPN) with a wider communications network. The cryptographic component facilitates the process of “security authorization” whereby access to a resource is inhibited by a security protocol wherein the cryptographic component effects authorized access to the secured resource. In addition, the cryptographic component may provide unique identifiers of content, e.g., employing and MD5 hash to obtain a unique signature for an digital audio file. A cryptographic component may communicate to and/or with other components in a component collection, including itself, and/or facilities of the like. The cryptographic component supports encryption schemes allowing for the secure transmission of information across a communications network to enable the Information Comparator system component to engage in secure transactions if so desired. The cryptographic component facilitates the secure accessing of resources on the Information Comparator system and facilitates the access of secured resources on remote systems; i.e., it may act as a client and/or server of secured resources. Most frequently, the cryptographic component communicates with information servers, operating systems, other program components, and/or the like. The cryptographic component may contain, communicate, generate, obtain, and/or provide program component, system, user, and/or data communications, requests, and/or responses. The Information Comparator database component 1019 may be embodied in a database and its stored data. The database is a stored program component, which is executed by the CPU; the stored program component portion configuring the CPU to process the stored data. The database may be a conventional, fault tolerant, relational, scalable, secure database such as Oracle or Sybase. Relational databases are an extension of a flat file. Relational databases consist of a series of related tables. The tables are interconnected via a key field. Use of the key field allows the combination of the tables by indexing against the key field; i.e., the key fields act as dimensional pivot points for combining information from various tables. Relationships generally identify links maintained between tables by matching primary keys. Primary keys represent fields that uniquely identify the rows of a table in a relational database. More precisely, they uniquely identify rows of a table on the “one” side of a one-to-many relationship. Alternatively, the Information Comparator database may be implemented using various standard data-structures, such as an array, hash, (linked) list, struct, structured text file (e.g., XML), table, and/or the like. Such data-structures may be stored in memory and/or in (structured) files. In another alternative, an object-oriented database may be used, such as Frontier, ObjectStore, Poet, Zope, and/or the like. Object databases can include a number of object collections that are grouped and/or linked together by common attributes; they may be related to other object collections by some common attributes. Object-oriented databases perform similarly to relational databases with the exception that objects are not just pieces of data but may have other types of functionality encapsulated within a given object. If the Information Comparator database is implemented as a data-structure, the use of the Information Comparator database 1019 may be integrated into another component such as the Information Comparator component 1035. Also, the database may be implemented as a mix of data structures, objects, and relational structures. Databases may be consolidated and/or distributed in countless variations through standard data processing techniques. Portions of databases, e.g., tables, may be exported and/or imported and thus decentralized and/or integrated. In one embodiment, the database component 1019 includes several tables 1019 a-g. A users table 1019 a includes fields such as, but not limited to: a user name, ip_address, email address, address, profile, user_id, and/or the like. The user table may support and/or track multiple entity accounts on an Information Comparator. A references table 1019 b includes fields such as, but not limited to: keywords, any media, datastructure, datatype, reference address, and/or the like. A settings table 1019 c includes fields such as, but not limited to: settings_id, browser_language, operating_system_language, desired_current_language, desired_number_of_comparison_pages, desired_prominance_of_comparative_panes, and/or the like. A related items 1019 d includes fields such as, but not limited to: keywords, synonyms, antonyms, related words, root words, related web page address, any media, datastructure, datatype, and/or the like. A companies table 119 e includes fields such as, but not limited to: company name, address, URL, phone number, any media, datastructure, datatype, reference address, and/or the like. An ads table 119 f includes fields such as, but not limited to: company name, address, phone number, account number, payments, ads, information items, comparison presentations, any media, datastructure, datatype, reference address, and/or the like. A web pages table 1019 g includes fields such as, but not limited to: identifier_id (e.g., web address, digital object identifier, etc.), source_id, date, and/or the like. In one embodiment, the Information Comparator system database may interact with other database systems. For example, employing a distributed database system, queries and data access by Information Comparator system component may treat the combination of the Information Comparator system database, an integrated data security layer database as a single database entity. In one embodiment, user programs may contain various user interface primitives, which may serve to update the Information Comparator system. Also, various accounts may require custom database tables depending upon the environments and the types of clients the Information Comparator system may need to serve. It should be noted that any unique fields may be designated as a key field throughout. In an alternative embodiment, these tables have been decentralized into their own databases and their respective database controllers (i.e., individual database controllers for each of the above tables). Employing standard data processing techniques, one may further distribute the databases over several computer systemizations and/or storage devices. Similarly, configurations of the decentralized database controllers may be varied by consolidating and/or distributing the various database components 1019 a-g. The Information Comparator system may be configured to keep track of various settings, inputs, and parameters via database controllers. The Information Comparator system database may communicate to and/or with other components in a component collection, including itself, and/or facilities of the like. Most frequently, the Information Comparator system database communicates with the Information Comparator system component, other program components, and/or the like. The database may contain, retain, and provide information regarding other nodes and data. The Information Comparator component 1035 is a stored program component that is executed by a CPU. The Information Comparator affects accessing, obtaining and the provision of information, services, transactions, and/or the like across various communications networks. The Information Comparator component enables and provides a straightforward, unified, and transparent interface that automatically presents users with a comparison of related and/or competing information. The structure and/or operation of any of the Information Comparator system node controller components may be combined, consolidated, and/or distributed in any number of ways to facilitate development and/or deployment. Similarly, the component collection may be combined in any number of ways to facilitate deployment and/or development. To accomplish this, one may integrate the components into a common code base or in a facility that can dynamically load the components on demand in an integrated fashion. The component collection may be consolidated and/or distributed in countless variations through standard data processing and/or development techniques. Multiple instances of any one of the program components in the program component collection may be instantiated on a single node, and/or across numerous nodes to improve performance through load-balancing and/or data-processing techniques. Furthermore, single instances may also be distributed across multiple controllers and/or storage devices; e.g., databases. All program component instances and controllers working in concert may do so through standard data processing communication techniques. The configuration of the Information Comparator system controller will depend on the context of system deployment. Factors such as, but not limited to, the budget, capacity, location, and/or use of the underlying hardware resources may affect deployment requirements and configuration. Regardless of if the configuration results in more consolidated and/or integrated program components, results in a more distributed series of program components, and/or results in some combination between a consolidated and distributed configuration, data may be communicated, obtained, and/or provided. Instances of components consolidated into a common code base from the program component collection may communicate, obtain, and/or provide data. This may be accomplished through intra-application data processing communication techniques such as, but not limited to: data referencing (e.g., pointers), internal messaging, object instance variable communication, shared memory space, variable passing, and/or the like. If component collection components are discrete, separate, and/or external to one another, then communicating, obtaining, and/or providing data with and/or to other component components may be accomplished through inter-application data processing communication techniques such as, but not limited to: Application Program Interfaces (API) information passage; (distributed) Component Object Model ((D)COM), (Distributed) Object Linking and Embedding ((D)OLE), and/or the like), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), process pipes, shared files, and/or the like. Messages sent between discrete component components for inter-application communication or within memory spaces of a singular component for intra-application communication may be facilitated through the creation and parsing of a grammar. A grammar may be developed by using standard development tools such as lex, yacc, XML, and/or the like, which allow for grammar generation and parsing functionality, which in turn may form the basis of communication messages within and between components. Again, the configuration will depend upon the context of system deployment.

It’s a frigid, windy morning and just over the horizon, you see a mountain, paling in comparison to any you’ve ever seen. Perfectly lit by the sunrise, you find yourself wanting nothing more than to climb it, so you take a deep breath, gulp down any fears you might have and head towards it. As you reach its base and begin climbing, you’re suddenly jerked awake and realize that it was all a dream. Now, the mountain is all you can think of, day and night… you want to find it and prove to yourself that you can climb it. Metaphorically speaking, this is what it’s like when you chase your dreams. That’s what Milwaukee metalcore quintet, These Fading Visions want you to feel when listening to their debut EP, Reaching New Heights. You’re ALLOWED to be scared, after all it’s only human, but you will never get anywhere if you don’t force yourself to overcome those fears. A rainstorm engulfs the listener, as the title track/intro fades in. Just in the distance, you hear the voice of vocalist Justin Wiedower, encouraging you. As a slow, acoustic melody plays in the background he says “I have a fear of heights. I think to myself, don’t look down, never look down because the ground… the ground is always waiting. It’s always waiting to catch me. But that doesn’t stop me, I keep reaching… reaching new heights. Until I realize that the ground will never catch me!” Finally, the rest of the band fades in, signaling to the listener that there is hope, despite the fear during the oncoming storm. A heavy guitar melody sets in, as we’re brought into “Ink Stained Promise.” Given the title, you’ve probably guessed that this is track is either A) upbeat or B) melancholy… to spare you the guessing game, we’ll tell you that the answer is B. We pan in to a scene where an individual is sitting, contemplating suicide after a failed relationship. Through each and every note, you can feel the bevy of emotion that is contained within them. Through both Wiedower’s clean and screamed vocal passages, you can feel the angst within him. The two lovers have (I can only assume) matching, significant tattoos… an ink-stained promise to one another that was, ultimately, broken by indecision or infidelity. Right off the bat, you get a feeling of how talented these guys are. Suddenly, “Undecided” comes roaring in, as we’re brought into the perspective of the female in the situation. This track is an onslaught of anger, hatred and disgust. Unlike the track before it, the rhythm section (Eric Dolister and Eric Treuden) really shine on this one. This is the first time, as well, that we hear Dolister’s vocals which come in through the chorus. While the band chose the previous track as their first single, I really think that this one would have been more fitting to introduce the world to who they are. Not only is it heavier and more destructive but it shows a good bit more of the band’s tight-knit personality. To continue the story, the woman is sitting in a spot of indecision. Knowing that she’s going to have to make a tough decision between the man she loved for so long and the one that she fell for, while she was with him, she uses alcohol and masks her true feelings. I’m unsure if the two men meet and they are talking to each other at some point but they tell either themselves or each other that she’ll end up leaving them both heartbroken. One of my favorite riff sections on this album is in the beginning of “Krueger.” A short, light melody that abruptly stops before it gets nice and heavy again. This is the only track that features zero clean vocals and it’s perfect that way because it’s the angriest one on the EP. I’m not 100% sure of the meaning to this track but it seems that she has fallen asleep and is having nightmares that someone (presumably one of her love interests) is threatening to kill her, after finding out of her infidelity. The title itself is likely an ode to legendary horror icon, Freddy Kruegeer, who infiltrated people’s dreams to kill them. “Cliche” struck me as odd when I first heard it. It begins with a mixture of guitar melody and, what sounds like, an organ part to it… giving it a strange and haunting air about it. This is the point in the story where all trust has faded in the relationship, down to nothing. As he finds out what she has been up to, she hides behind a ridiculous excuse and he knows that she’s been lying this entire time. The guitar solo in this track, from 3:25-3:37, while a bit faded out in the mix is worth noting here. Nothing too flashy but it gets the point across. The final track, “Prove Me Wrong” is probably my favorite point in the album because this is where the story takes a more positive turn. Everyone loves a good love/hate relationship story but it’s nice to see a more upbeat end to it all. This is where he decides he’s had enough, he ends the relationship and she has the typical “you’ll never find anyone again” conversation with him, through fake tears in her eyes. Regardless of how things turned out, he refuses to let it bring him down. He’s determined to prove her wrong and he won’t stop until it happens. There’s a lot of different things happening, vocally, here because Wiedower and Dolister trade out during the chorus. The vocal dynamic between them works, though. There’s a lot of different things happening with this EP but there’s a ton of emotion thrown into it and the band makes sure you feel it, at every turn. For a debut EP, I was immediately impressed with it because it sounds like they’ve been doing this for years and they know what works for them. A little formulaic, yes but not boring whatsoever. There’s some vocal glitches, which might be cliche to some but they’re perfectly worked in here. Overall, this is a solid effort in proving to the world that These Fading Visions is a band worth your time. Be sure to catch the guys at their release show, tonight at The Metal Grill in Cudahy, WI, details below! Even if you miss the show, spend the $5 and pick this EP up… you’ll be glad you did!

Publishers already know that working on SEO, writing really great content, and staying on top of publishing trends is important to their website’s success. However, what some seasoned publishers may not know is that they actually have a secret weapon: a mature website with mature content. If you have a mature website, you’re likely working hard to stay at the top of the rankings and remain profitable by updating your site, obsessing over site speed and keywords, and quickly churning out new content. Meanwhile, you may be ignoring one of your greatest assets. In fact, you may be considering how to remove outdated content under the guise of “content pruning”. In a perfect bubble, if a new domain with great content pushes out a new article and a more well-established publisher publishes out the exact same quality of content, they’re likely to rank higher. Sites with established domain age and authority are more likely to have top-ranked articles than domains that are more recently established. But what if your mature content is thin, outdated, and not very attractive? Delete it, right? No! That outdated content is an asset. Even if the content itself has little value or traffic today, the URL and age of the page may offer a weapon you can use to gain more traffic quickly. Recently at Pubtelligence — an event hosted at Google offices in New York — Anita Campbell from SmallBizTrends.com shared how their publishing business turned outdated, mature content into a powerful asset to grow organic traffic and total ad earnings. The full video is below, but you can read our synopsis underneath. Smallbiztrends.com was very familiar with the previous scenario about a year ago. They had plenty of traffic and were producing a large amount of new, quality content, yet their revenue wasn’t keeping up. Anita Campbell, CEO and founder of Small Business Trends, began asking data-driven questions and started looking for a solution. Anita then shared how her 15-year-old site has stayed on top by producing less new content while becoming more profitable and improving the user experience. Many independent publishers will find that Anita’s publishing story is not much different than their own: she started with little to no SEO or media experience (she actually has a background in law) but was passionate about a subject and could write great content. In 2003, Anita launched a small business newsletter. That newsletter eventually transitioned into Small Business Trends, a website with more than millions of unique visitors per month. Small Business Trends has been profitable almost from the beginning, with no outside investment or debt. The success of the website comes down to the fact that Anita, and those she has hired, are really good at making quality, profitable content. Since 2004, smallbiztrends.com had used Google AdSense and was working with advertisers directly to accrue revenue. However, the volume of traffic and the amount of revenue coming in were not correlating appropriately, so she and her associates began to question: what are we missing? In 2018, Small Business Trends underwent a massive content updating process and also started using Ezoic’s machine learning to better monetize their ad inventory. Within a year, Small Business Trend’s EPMV (earnings per thousand visitors) increased by 600%. In addition to an increase in ad revenue, Anita and her team found value in the content tools and analytics on the Ezoic platform to better understand the performance and shortcomings of their content. With this in mind, they dove back into their archives to analyze which pages they could clean up and give better visibility. CTO of Small Business Trends, Leland McFarland, set up an SEO audit using SEMRush to audit and crawl the website. Based on the information they gathered, they set up the following priorities: technical, content, architecture, and design. They structured many of the principles of their outdated content strategy around information Ezoic’s own Tyler Bishop had shared at a previous Pubtelligence. Small Business Trends began with technical fixes: if search engines can’t crawl a website’s pages and users can’t access those pages, it will naturally impact revenue and traffic. Technical fixes also have more concrete steps and results than other parts of operating a digital publication. As Leland discovered, Small Business Trends had many broken pages and links. The first time the site was crawled, it pulled about 600,000 issues of varying severity: almost 10,000 errors and over 11,000 broken links were flagged. The flags were then split up into manageable pieces and organized into a schedule that their team updated weekly. Small Business Trends usually publishes about 50 articles per week but during their tech clean up, that was scaled back to around 36 articles per week. The publication also had to turn down some labor-intensive deals, which would have potentially brought in immediate revenue. By investing in their existing content more, they chose to invest more time into content that would generate reoccurring ad earnings rather than short-term direct deals or sponsored content. When smallbiztrends.com reduced the number of articles they published per week and focused on repairing broken elements of the site, the website had an immediate increase in organic traffic (primarily Google search). Everyone on the Small Business Trends team helped work on broken items and were provided with some educational courses on SEO and site structure to help assist with the cleanups. Small Business Trends also implemented the Broken Link Checker WordPress plugin to help change broken links easily. Anita incentivized the lengthy process and additional work on the team through different games and audit score improvements. Small Business Trends used a myriad of tools and plugins to assist with their technical fixes, though they admitted that what worked for them will vary for every publisher. In addition to compiling the following suggestions, the team at Small Business Trends put together an article about some of their tips and best practices at SBT.me/improve. The number one rule of improving the quality of content for Small Business Trends was don’t eliminate anything you’ve already published. Anita felt strongly that it’s important to start looking at older content as an asset and consider how to get more out of that asset. Publishers can get more out of their content by updating it rather than deleting it, thus preserving the site’s authority while making the site altogether better. Deleting content has lots of unintended consequences. It affects internal linking, page authority, backlinks, and your sitemap architecture. It is extremely difficult to do without causing major harm even when you might not be able to clearly see why “this one crappy page” would matter. For example, a friend of Anita’s had a successful, 10-year-old website. One day, he took the advice of an expert and deleted everything on his site that was over two years old without redirecting any of the URLs. About 6 months later, the website owner received an offer from an interested buyer, but the offer price was very low. After reviewing the site, Anita saw he had actually gutted the entire site and deleted all of his links and authority. Unfortunately, the price tag was fitting. Traffic: older sites tend to have bits of traffic to a vast assortment of pages, rather than maybe just one popular article. Internal links: one of your older pages may be linking to a better page. If you take away the older page, you also take away the weight to the better page. Social proof: older content has likely been shared on various social media platforms. Additionally, some articles have a long string of comments and the best engagement metrics on the site. Backlinks: if any of your content has backlinks, it’s likely your older content. Rankings: you might be surprised what a really old page is ranking for. Even if the page is ranking for only one keyword that isn’t highly searched, it still has value and can be improved. How do you update outdated content? Did it have any traffic in the last 90 days, 6 months, etc.? Does it have any backlinks to it? Does it rank for anything? How many comments and shares does it have? For example, Anita wrote an article in 2004 on an evergreen topic, but the article had become buried deep under newer content within categories containing 2,500 posts. This particular page may have just fallen out of the index because it was buried in an area where pages before it was broken and thus wasn’t being crawled. A good place to start would be to update the content so that it can be published as a new piece. If a page can’t be improved, the content should be consolidated or rewritten, and then a 301 redirect code should be implemented to the new URL. Plugins like Yoast can be especially helpful in this step. As a last resort, content can be removed, but this should only be done if you clearly understand the risks in a technical way. While some experts say to never remove any content from your site, Small Business Trends did remove some content very sparingly. For instance, a flagged, three-sentence article about a past webinar from 12 years ago with broken links and images was something that they felt comfortable deleting. Anita shared that under no circumstances should content be deleted in anything other than a one-off basis. Which articles should publishers improve first? Begin with articles with organic rankings on page two or three, within position 11-30. These and ones that you personally deem important are the first ones you can work on improving. Again, consider a page’s traffic, internal links, social proof, backlinks, and ranking. Let’s look at an eight-year-old article from Small Business Trends. On December 2018, the page received 79 visits. Small Business Trends enhanced the article in January 2019 and almost immediately, ranking improved and the page received a thousand more organic visits per month. That number is still increasing. Obviously, this won’t be the result of every page you augment. Results of content revision can vary —Small Business Trends has had pages that have gotten far greater than 1,000 more visits and some have only received 10 more visits per month. You may have to revise 200 pages to achieve the revenue you want. But remember, this is revenue from content you already have. The great thing about the improvements smallbiztrends.com implemented is that it was all just content work and social media shares —nothing they did required any special SEO or technical training. Anita shared that this entire project was also a great time to step back and consider all of their content. While organizing and planning your content, you should also ensure you know what categories are earning you the most money. Tools such as Ezoic’s Big Data Analytics provides reports for publishers to segment their content in various ways, including by topic. Until analyzing this information, Small Business Trends had no idea that one particular topic was driving their overall revenue. However, looking at a graph of EPMV by topic, there is a different pattern. Instead of focusing on topics that just brought in straight revenue, Small Business Trends can lift revenue overall and overtime for the entire site by driving more traffic towards their landing page content that brings in the highest EPMV. Something we discussed on Ezoic Explain here. Dig into your content and see which types of articles produce the highest value sessions, not pageviews. Consider maintenance costs: some of your pages may be more tedious and costly to maintain than others, such as pages with a lot of links. Is it worth keeping the page up-to-date if it is costing more time and resources than it is worth? No cannibalization of existing pages: no publisher ever plans to write the same content over and over again, but that becomes more difficult to avoid the older your site is. When publishing new content, make sure and go through your old content to see if there is an article you can update rather than completely publishing something new. The age of the page will give it higher authority, and the newness of the content will put it back on viewers’ radars. More evergreen, long shelf life content: try to not create content that will be irrelevant a year from now. Reliable articles that can stand the test of time and provide steady, consistent revenue are part of the foundation your site should be built on. According to Anita, once your website’s technical issues are fixed and your content is augmented and optimized, you can move on to architecture. Small Business Trends has started to focus on making their internal linking more structured. It tends to be that the same content that gets internally linked to time and time again, so the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Having a structured methodology for internal linking will help you and your team to increase traffic to multiple pages on your site rather than just a few. This is something Google search looks at when determining which pages on your site are the most important and potentially helpful to searchers. Results: Does All Of This Work Pay Off? Anita and her team successfully increased website traffic and grew ad earnings by over +600% in one year using the information shared above. Since November 2018, Small Business Trends has decreased its new content output by 25% and expenses by 10%. However, visits, pageviews, pages indexed, engagement, and site speed all improved. It’s worth noting that the number of pageviews has increased just as much as the amount of new content has decreased, showing that you can continue growing your site without creating anything new. Set up an SEO audit tool to crawl your website. Organize the tasks into manageable categories. Work your way through the technical errors found by the SEO audit: broken pages, bad WordPress plugins, broken CSS, and broken links. If the list is long, break up the errors into manageable projects to complete over time. After fixing the technical issues, move on to your content. Start by looking at your pages that rank on the second or third page organically, and consider the page’s traffic, internal links, social proof, backlinks, and rankings. You should work to improve most of your content. Pages can be improved by adding content paragraphs, headers, fix broken images, rewriting title tags, adding links from other pages, and sharing on social media. Consider making a strategic content roadmap to stay on course and keep track of internal links. If content can’t be improved, reorganize or consolidate it and then redirect the page. Once your content is well managed, you can move onto working on your site’s architecture, including optimizing categories or navigation and internal linking. The last thing to focus on is your site’s design. Any changes you make should be small tweaks and enhance user experience: font size, site speed, and images. Questions? Comments? Concerns?

After the long pause that I took a couple weeks ago, I am returning to my writing and have a special story in mind... one that is very different from my normal writings.

Xie, P. orcid.org/0000-0001-7156-7061, Lu, X., Ingham, D. et al. (2 more authors) (2017) Mass transfer characteristics of the liquid film flow in a rotating packed bed for CO2 capture: A micro-scale CFD analysis. In: Energy Procedia. 9th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE2017), 21-24 Aug 2017, Cardiff, UK. Elsevier , pp. 3407-3414. Rotating packed beds (RPBs) are promising to be employed for CO2 capture from the flue gas due to their high mass transfer efficiency. Therefore, good predictions of the mass transfer characteristics for RPBs are crucial for their design. In this paper, a method based on CFD simulation is proposed to investigate the liquid film flows and mass transfer characteristics within RPBs. Local mass transfer coefficients along the radial direction of an RPB have been obtained. The results obtained show that high surface roughness and high rotational speed enhance the CO2 absorption into the liquid film, thus generating a high mass transfer coefficient, and the larger the RPB radial position, the higher the mass transfer coefficient. © 2017 The Author(s).

CAPITAL SERVICE, Inc. et al. Petitioner manufacturers and distributes bakery products in California. A union sought unsuccessfully to organize its employees. Thereupon, the union sought to enlist the aid of purchasers and consumers of petitioner's products. Agents of the union requested retail stores not to handle petitioner's products and stated that if they continued to do so, a picket line would be set up. Some stores acquiesced; others did not. The union placed pickets at the entrances of the latter stores, with the result that many deliveries were interrupted and some employees of other employers refused to cross the picket lines. Petitioner made two counter moves. First, it filed suit for an injunction against the union in the California courts. A few days later it filed a charge of an unfair labor practice against the union with respondent. Each had as a basis the same conduct of the union. "In view of the fact that exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter was in the National Labor Relations Board, Garner v. Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Helpers Local Union No. 776 (A.F.L.) (346 U.S. 485), 74 S.Ct. 161, could the Federal District Court, on application of the Board, enjoin Petitioners from enforcing an injunction already obtained from the State court?" 346 U.S. 936, 74 S.Ct. 375. I. The District Court had jurisdiction of the subject matter, because this is a 'civil action or proceeding' arising under an Act of Congress 'regulating commerce.' 28 U.S.C. § 1337, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1337. The National Labor Relations Act is a law 'regulating commerce' (National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., 301 U.S. 1, 57 S.Ct. 615, 81 L.Ed. 893); and here, as in American Federation of Labor v. Watson, 327 U.S. 582, 591, 66 S.Ct. 761, 765, 90 L.Ed. 873, the rights asserted arise under that law. II. In absence of a command of the Congress to the contrary, the power of the District Court to issue the injunction is clear. Federal courts seek to avoid needless conflict with state agencies and withhold relief by way of injunction where state remedies are available and adequate. See Alabama Public Service Commission v. Southern Ry. Co., 341 U.S. 341, 71 S.Ct. 762, 95 L.Ed. 1002. But where Congress, acting within its constitutional authority, has vested a federal agency with exclusive jurisdiction over a subject matter and the intrusion of a state would result in conflict of functions, the federal court may enjoin the state proceeding in order to preserve the federal right. See Public Utilities Commission of Ohio v. United Fuel Gas Co., 317 U.S. 456, 468—470, 63 S.Ct. 369, 375—376, 87 L.Ed. 396; Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503, 510—511, 64 S.Ct. 641, 645, 88 L.Ed. 892. Cf. American Federation of Labor v. Watson, supra, 327 U.S. at pages 593—595, 66 S.Ct. at pages 766—767, 90 L.Ed. 873. Congress, however, has provided that 'A court of the United States may not grant an injunction to stay proceedings in a State court except as expressly authorized by Act of Congress, or where necessary in aid of its jurisdiction, or to protect or effectuate its judgments.' 28 U.S.C. § 2283, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2283. We do not stop to consider the many questions which have been propounded under this newly worded provision of the Code.2 One alone suffices for this case. For we conclude that the injunction issued by the District Court was 'necessary in aid of its jurisdiction' and thus permitted under the exceptions specifically allowed by Congress. The state court injunction restrains conduct which the District Court was asked to enjoin in the § 10(l) proceeding brought in the District Court by the Board's Regional Director against the union. In order to make the § 10(l) power effective the Board must have authority to take all steps necessary to preserve its case. If the state court decree were to stand, the Federal District Court would be limited in the action it might take. If the Federal District Court were to have unfettered power to decide for or against the union, and to write such decree as it deemed necessary in order to effectuate the policies of the Act, it must be freed of all restraints from the other tribunal. To exercise its jurisdiction freely and fully it must first remove the state decree. When it did so, it acted 'where necessary in aid of its jurisdiction'. In view of our ruling, we find it unnecessary to consider whether apart from the specific exceptions contained in § 2283, the District Court was justified in enjoining this intrusion on an exclusive federal jurisdiction. Cf. Bowles v. Willingham, 321 U.S. 503, 510—511, 64 S.Ct. 641, 645, 88 L.Ed. 892.

Carrie Underwood returned home last night. The place where it all started for her. American Idol. The year was 2004. During the St. Louis auditions, this 22 year old named Carrie Underwood from Checotah, Oklahoma took her place for her Idol audition. She wowed the judges and she grabbed all of our hearts immediately. She had this great voice and such a sweet personality. She was off to Hollywood and off to her destiny. When I was watching her Idol performance last night as she debuted her new single, “See You Again”, she was just glowing up there on that stage. She fought back tears just talking about looking back on it all. Before the performance, Idol ran a video package which included some old footage of her from American Idol. She was walking around the field at home. I am fairly sure that this footage has never aired as that is one bit of footage that I don’t remember seeing. I could be wrong though. In this video, she was talking about how she had never been on an airplane. Never been in a big city. Just this wide eyed girl with such a shyness to her. She was speculating on what things would be like for her doing these things. You could see the battle of nerves with excitement in her. All of her dreams right there in front of her but there was a genuine fear in her. You may have heard her tell the story about when she was on her way to the airport to catch her flight to Hollywood. She almost went home. Fear and nerves were getting the better of her. Her dad was driving her to the airport and she was struggling. He told her that if she didn’t want to do it to give him the word and they would turn the car around to go home. She decided to continue on and keep pushing forward with the bigger fear of the “what ifs” that she felt she would have to deal with for the rest of her life if she went home. She boarded that plane and the rest is history. She captured all of our hearts and was the clear cut favorite to win Idol including Simon Cowell telling her that not only would she win American Idol but she would be the most successful Idol alum in the show’s history. Both statements came true. Her confidence continued to grow on that stage. She was out of her element there in Hollywood and she would fully admit it. American Idol season four in 2005 was the year of Carrie as she won the competition. Carrie stuck to her roots sticking with the demand that she was going to make a country album despite all sorts of pressure to go the pop way. Her first single would be the hit that took her to the next level, Jesus Take The Wheel. A fresh faced Carrie was still learning her way telling people during the video shoot that she needed to be told what to do. She had never shot a video before and explained to the crew that she needed to be instructed on what to do cause this was brand new territory for her. She continued to gain experience video to video and was branching herself out. Learning to have fun with it. Gaining confidence more and more. She would hit the stage with tours opening up for various singers. Taking the Opry stage. Winning awards. Starting to headline her own tours. Being invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. The list goes on and on. Now, she is selling out the Blown Away tour. I have been to many Carrie shows over the years and it has been a blessing to just watch this girl grow. No chance to meet her yet as I'm sure some will ask. LOL. Seeing her growing more confident on stage and in herself. She has so much fun performing and interacting with the fans. We all have fun watching her and listening to her. I often say that I could listen to her sing the phone book. Just this amazing voice. Carrie is a perfect example of never quit chasing your dreams. I am so proud of her and find her to be such an inspiration. Such a strong faithed person. She kept at her dreams. She didn’t back down to fear. She took that step and just kept moving forward. She is also that great example of good things happen to good people. How much of a blessing is it to see when things like that happen? When I watched that clip of her walking through the field from back in her Idol days, my first thought was that was the Carrie that immediately hooked me at the time. That soft spoken, shy, sweet person that was ready to go for the ride of her life. Looking so uncertain but excited for the challenge. I think so many of us could relate to that moment. I know I can. Seeing what all she has accomplished is just awesome and we’ve seen her grow from that shy person to this confident person. From taking that Idol stage for the first time to now being one of the biggest music superstars in the world. Growing more and more. Last night was definitely a homecoming for her. I think it felt like a homecoming for all of us that have watched and been along for the ride with her. Never give up on your dreams. Always chase them. You never know what might be waiting for you. Take that step in faith and go for it. As her song says, "Thank God even crazy dreams come true."

A beautiful tribute, Ash. Thank you for sharing your stories, lessons and fond memories. Ash: I am just hearing of Jim's death through your beautiful remembrance of him in this space. It is quite a shock. Jim hired me for my first industrial science job back at G.D. Searle in May of 1992 and I found him to be a wonderful mentor and scientist, and was saddened when he took early retirement about a year later. Even though we were only working together for a year, I will never forget that year and remain so grateful for the opportunity Jim provided to me, and more importantly for the opportunity to get to know and work with this remarkable individual. Thank you Ash for the wonderful remembrance of Jim.

HONOLULU – The Coast Guard rescued a man and woman in the ocean off Hawaii on Friday, nearly a day after the plane they were in disappeared from radar. "What a way to celebrate aloha Friday," Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer 2nd Class Tara Molle said of the relief in finding the two alive. "We all had big smiles on our faces in the office when we heard the news." A helicopter crew hoisted them out of the water about 11:30 a.m. Friday, Molle said. They were a mile and a half offshore near Kona, the Coast Guard said. Paramedics met them at Kona airport and treated them for minor injuries, Molle said. They were identified as David McMahon, 26, and Sydnie Uemoto, in her 20s. There was no immediate word on the plane. The plane's pilot radioed about an air emergency at 3:15 p.m. Thursday. After that, air traffic controllers lost contact with the pilot and the plane no longer appeared on radar, the Coast Guard said. The pilot of the twin-engine Piper PA23 reported engine problems before ditching in the ocean about 27 miles northwest of Kona, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane had departed from west Oahu and was headed for Kona, the FAA said. On Friday morning, a visiting New Zealand air force P3 plane spotted debris about 50 miles northwest of Kona. The Coast Guard sent a ship to the scene to see if the debris was from the missing plane. The New Zealand plane is in Hawaii to participate in the Rim of the Pacific military exercises. The U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force also joined in the search. A tour helicopter later spotted wreckage about 9 miles north of Kona airport and reported it to the Coast Guard, Molle said. A Coast Guard helicopter went to the wreckage location and spotted two people in the water wearing life jackets, she said. "They had been attempting to swim to shore through the night," Molle said. It's not yet clear what happened to them. "A lot of times these cases don't really end well," Molle said. "When we have a happy ending, what more could you ask for?" McMahon's father, Richard McMahon, summed up his feelings: "Big-time relieved." He said he was on his way from Oahu to the Big Island on Friday to see his son, a Kailua, Oahu, resident and a commercial pilot for Mokulele Airlines. He said his son rented a plane for additional flying hours for his commercial pilot's license.

Students were able to examine different aspects of the Chinese culture, away from an Americanized point-of-view, with the new exhibit on campus, featuring the artist Chee Wang Ng. A Chinese immigrant from Malaysia, Ng moved to New York City over 30 years ago. His work is a contemporary portrayal of his Chinese identity. “Eaten Your Fill of Rice?” is the oldest series in Ng’s exhibit. The project features a bowl of rice superimposed over various backgrounds. His most prominent piece features a bowl of rice in front of Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Can. Another piece shows rice over colorful vertical and horizontal stripes. These stripes symbolize the directional strokes used to write Chinese characters, a discreet play on Ng’s Chinese heritage. Rice is a vital part of the Chinese identity—the Chinese eat rice every single day. Historically, a bowl of rice has an even larger significance. During the Mao Zedong Cultural Revolution, the term “iron rice bowl” was used to symbolize an unbreakable bowl. This term was used to convey that having an unbreakable bowl meant you had a drop of life, livelihood and security despite the turmoil caused by the Chinese government and military. Ng’s most recent exhibit, “Dinner Time: Chinese Diaspora Livelihood” features photographs of various Chinese take-out restaurants. The message behind this series is evident—each restaurant is practically indistinguishable from the rest. These differing identities were expressed in a photograph of neon signs on the outside of two Chinese restaurants. The signs read, “Chinese,” “Halal,” “West Indian” and “Gayonese.” Ng explained that this photo is an accurate representation of the diversity of Chinese cuisine. Ng’s exhibition opened his audience’s eyes to observing Chinese culture in America in an inclusive, comprehensive manner. His contemporary artwork incorporates his unique identity and speaks measures on the minority stereotypes that exist in the United States. “Beyond a Bowl of Rice” will continue to be on display through Dec. 9.

ccMixter - Reviews for "Like A Sycamore" Reviews for "Like A Sycamore" This is deep gratitude. Some particularly lovely images, and wonderful rhythmic interplay between your voice and the guitar. Lovely. thanks Susan! i had to cut my vocals and move them around to fit just right with Alex’s lovely guitar work. thank you! it was a change for me to do something so sparse, but i really enjoyed working with Alex’s guitar and it just seemed to stand on its own. Has the cool beatnik vibe that was gone before we were old enough to look for it. What is so cool is that this is like a bookend of go1dfish’s own mix, the same kind of beat poetry recital style as one another’s work. And of course, remixing a person’s guitar and their presence in day to day life gives this an intimacy that is almost painful to listen to. thanks Richard! i had to cut and stretch Alex in parts — and cut my own vocals too so our interplay wouldn’t step on each other. the lyrics are inspired by all that has been transpiring here in the past few months. Alex lives across the street from me and has been an amazing support and friend. Less is more, no half-listening allowed here! I don’t think I remember a musical piece with just a improve lead a a vocal. Just beautiful. thanks Greg! i had never done anything like this, and it was a great experiment. i kept trying to add other elements — piano, backing vocals, synth — but it just felt wrong. Alex’s guitar playing needed to be by itself! These are the times when I hate the fact that I can’t concetrate and listen to vocals as a voice and hear what they are saying. I will have to listen a few times more to really here what your saying instead of hearing sound. It is however a beautiful combination: goldfish improv and your poetry. Gorgeous! Love the poem and the guitar. Maybe it seems basic and clear.But It is at the very different level. It contains artistic feeling that i loved very much this feeling. thank you! it is simple, but deeply heartfelt :) glad you appreciate that — means a lot. Oh my. Your words… this imagery… that guitar… and your gripping voice- calm, soft, impossible to ignore… I love the simplicity of this. It’s magical. Impressive. You let your words, your poetry, go1dfish’s guitar, your voice room… to breathe… to grow. Yeah- magical. thank you! would love to hear anything you come up with! This is beautiful, snowflake. The guitar piece and your poem are both emanating so much emotion and combine to create something very powerful. thanks Ben! there was indeed a lot of emotion — music is a powerful transformer. Wonderful oneiric, Emily!!! Very expressive! Love, b.k. Lovely. Your spoken voice is spacious, enchanting and very enticing! Sycamore’d. That’s what I’ve been with this bluesy number. Let’s head on down to Bourbon Street where the music is a groovy kind of smooth like this. Deep, bluesy, soulful and moving. A wonderful poem so profound.A great guitar you have found. Really beautiful Emily! This one really gets to me .. I lost two beautiful Sycamores to last year’s infernal Texas drought. And I only had three sycamores to start with ..

What Is the Facility’s Original Purpose and Intent? The marginal lending facility was established in 1998 when the ECB was founded. The facility provides overnight loans to financial institutions, and serves as a complement to open market refinancing operations, which are the ECB’s main means of providing liquidity. From the beginning, the marginal lending facility was assigned an explicit monetary policy role, with its rate serving as the ceiling of the “interest rate corridor” in the ECB’s monetary policy framework. As a monetary policy tool, the marginal lending facility shares the same counterparty and collateral policies as the ECB’s open market refinancing operations. The ECB intends for the marginal lending facility to be used freely and in tandem with its main refinancing operations, which offer funds for a seven-day term and at a lower interest rate than the marginal lending facility. Despite the higher rate, banks sometimes prefer to borrow from the marginal lending facility; if a bank doesn’t need funds for a full week, it may be more advantageous to borrow on an overnight basis from the marginal lending facility. The overnight facility is open throughout the day and closes at 6:30 p.m., thirty minutes after the close of the payments system. Borrowing at the marginal lending facility is automatically triggered when a bank’s account at the ECB ends the day with a negative balance, provided that the bank has sufficient collateral at the central bank to secure the loan. Is There Stigma with the Facility? Are banks hesitant to borrow from the marginal lending facility because of a perceived stigma, whereby borrowing is viewed by market participants as a signal of a bank’s financial weakness? One widely used indicator of stigma is the relationship between the overnight interbank rate and the standing facility rate. If the overnight rate rises above the standing facility rate, that is usually interpreted as a sign that stigma may exist with the standing facility. The assumption is that if the bank has sufficient collateral with the central bank to secure the borrowings, it should not prefer to pay a higher rate in the market, all else equal. If the bank still chooses to borrow in the market at a higher rate, it likely means that negative consequences are associated with use of the standing facility. In the euro area, the overnight interbank rate, as indicated by the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA), has never exceeded the marginal lending rate since the ECB was established, despite numerous episodes of sustained stresses in the funding markets (see chart below). Banks’ free access to liquidity through the ECB’s refinancing operations has likely been an important factor for the EONIA remaining within the corridor, but another potential explanation is that banks have not been reluctant to use the marginal lending facility when it is economical to do so, suggesting an absence of stigma in the facility. Another possible indicator of stigma with the standing facility is its level of usage. Borrowing has been consistent under the marginal lending facility since its inception, as shown in the chart below. While such borrowing has decreased in recent years, this decline does not necessarily indicate stigma, as the level of usage depends on a variety of factors including market conditions and the amount of liquidity provided by other monetary policy tools. At the ECB, banks can obtain as much liquidity as needed from the weekly refinancing operations, which have been under a full allotment format since 2008. Therefore, banks no longer need to use the marginal lending facility as much as they did before. Anecdotal evidence indicates that banks may rely on the marginal lending facility when there is upward pressure on market rates. In a phenomenon known as “reverse stigma,” a few of the largest banks have been known to favor borrowing at the ECB’s main refinancing operations over borrowing in the interbank market at an above-market rate. They are concerned that paying up even slightly may weaken their future bargaining power, and they prefer to borrow anonymously from the ECB at an even higher rate. Although reverse stigma is not a widespread phenomenon at the ECB, its existence highlights the extent to which banks are comfortable in using the ECB’s facilities, including the marginal lending facility. Why Didn’t the ECB’s Marginal Lending Facility Develop Stigma? The ECB’s experience with stigma stands in contrast to the U.S. experience, where the overnight interbank rate, as represented by the federal funds rate, has occasionally overshot the primary credit rate owing to stigma. In particular, in the lead-up to the financial crisis of 2007-08, the federal funds rate often traded above the primary credit rate, a development that was primarily attributed to stigma. One explanation for these divergent experiences might be the respective disclosure policies on standing facility borrowings. While the ECB provides a daily disclosure of borrowings under the marginal lending facility, it does so only at an aggregate level. The ECB does not show borrowings of individual banks, or other components of aggregate borrowings, even on an ex post basis. This approach helps mitigate banks’ concerns that their borrowings will become known by other market participants. The Federal Reserve is more transparent in that it provides a breakdown of the borrowings by district in its weekly disclosure, in some cases potentially enabling market participants to deduce who the large borrowers are based on their districts. In addition, under the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, the Fed is required to provide detailed information, on a two-year lag, about its loans to depository institutions. The Bank of England’s disclosure policy, meanwhile, is not unlike the ECB’s policy, and yet its facility did become stigmatized during the last crisis. This disparity in outcomes suggests that differences in disclosure policy may not fully account for why stigma varies across central bank jurisdictions. Another explanation for the central banks’ divergent experiences might be the use of automatic loans at the ECB, which is in contrast to the Fed’s practice of requiring all loans to be initiated by banks. The Fed’s approach gives banks leeway not to borrow if they have concerns about stigma. However, this difference may only partly explain the lack of stigma at the ECB, because if a bank wishes to borrow from the ECB earlier in the day before its account balance turns negative, it must initiate a loan request in the same way as at the Fed. Still another reason might be differences in counterparty and collateral frameworks. At the ECB, the counterparty and collateral policies are identical for open market operations and the marginal lending facility. This approach allows banks to borrow on similar terms at the lending facility and the refinancing operations, which reinforces the “routine” nature of the borrowings at the overnight facility. In contrast, at the Fed, banks may borrow from the discount window but are generally not eligible to participate in open market operations, and a wider set of collateral is accepted at the discount window than in open market operations. This disparity could lead to the perception that the Fed’s discount window attracts weaker banks. However, harmonized counterparty and collateral policies alone may not be sufficient in preventing stigma, as such policies did not preclude the Bank of England’s standing lending facility from developing stigma during the last crisis. Finally, an important point that is often overlooked is how the central bank characterizes the purpose of the standing facility, because this helps determine how the facility’s use is viewed by market participants. The ECB never refers to the marginal lending facility as a back-up source of funds, but rather as an overnight facility that banks can make free use of. The ECB’s approach is in contrast to that of the Fed, which in recent decades has consistently referred to its discount window as a back-up source of funds, even after it was reformed in 2003 and the primary credit facility was established. The Fed’s approach may have given market participants the impression that the discount window should generally not be used. While its characterization is more understated, the Bank of England has also indicated in its Red Book that its operational standing facility is intended to be used as a back-up source of funds to help manage “unexpected payment shocks.” The ECB’s relatively neutral communication stance may have gone a long way in preventing stigma from developing in the marginal lending facility. Helene Lee and Asani Sarkar, “Is Stigma Attached to the European Central Bank’s Marginal Lending Facility?,” Federal Reserve Bank of New York Liberty Street Economics (blog), April 16, 2018, http://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2018/04/is-stigma-attached-to-the-european-central-banks-marginal-lending-facility.html. A borrowing from the discount window has always been perceived to be the bank's mistake. A borrowing from the marginal lending facility (particularly before the full-allotment period) has always been perceived to be the ECB's mistake - the ECB had underprovided reserves to meet their rate targets because they had mis-estimated some subset of the factors effecting reserve balances.

Welcome back to What We’re Reading. In this post, we look at how and why SDN will be used by mobile operators, a new group out of Boston that is advocating for closer ties between software testers and the C-suite and the growth of tech spending in the U.S. Software defined networks, or SDN, is viewed as a transformative technology by mobile operators, according to a study by Informa Telecoms and Media. Half of such operators surveyed by the company expect to deploy SDNs within two years to reduce operating costs (via Cloud Times). There are three areas in particular where SDN will be used: the separation between the control plans and data; virtualization of network components, and exhibition services via API. Costs will be the motivating factor behind this first way of deployments, the study notes. Later, as the lessons of early adopters become clear, the study predicts more operators will deploy SDN for revenue-creating opportunities. SearchSoftwareQuality tells of a new group devoted to software quality testing in the Boston area that has launched with an eye to connecting its activities to the C-Suite. “Software testing provides the service of information to stakeholders,” says group organizer Jean Ann Harrison, a software testing and services consultant at Project Realms Inc. The Greater Boston Software Testing Interest Group has held its inaugural meeting, featuring guest speaker Keith Klain, head of the global test center for Barclays (“the testers should be thinking about Joe the CEO”) and plans to hold its second monthly meeting on July 22. The question of whether or not to mask data for testing and application design is not easily resolved, yet still remains controversial. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, for example, has been debating internally (a debate shared with the public via The News & Observer) whether to mask the personal and health information of its clients with a third-party company that designs its software. So far, they haven’t but have put in place a number of safeguards. Critics point to weaknesses in this system, including the possibility of a rogue employee. As we’ve pointed out, the use of Service Virtualization tools is a great solution to this problem. In SV, data elements that are captured from live transactions or logs can be carefully obscured while remaining 100-percent relevant to testing. The result: Improved overall delivered quality to more thorough and stable data scenarios, fewer delivery delays and better security. U.S. technology spending will grow 5.9 percent for the remainder of 2013, according to Forrester Research. While Canadian, Japanese, Australian and Indian tech markets will also grow, only smaller markets in Latin America and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa will surpass the U.S. (via Information Week).

Most dynamic systems do not react instantaneously to actuation signals. The temporal evolution of some others is based on retarded communications or depends on information from the past. In such cases, the mathematical models used to describe these systems must include information about the past dynamics of the states. These models are often referred to as delay or retarded systems. Delays could channel energy in and out of a system at incorrect time intervals producing instabilities and rendering controllers' performance ineffective. The purpose of this research is two folds. The first investigates the effect of inherent system delays on the stability of coupled oscillators subjected to decentralized control and the second studies the prospectus of augmenting the delay into a larger delay period that could actually stabilize the coupled system and enhance its damping characteristics. Towards these ends, a system of two linearly-coupled oscillators with decentralized delayed-proportional feedback is considered. A comprehensive linear stability analysis is utilized to generate maps that divide the controllers' gain and delay domain into regions of stability for different coupling values. These maps are then used to draw definite conclusions about the effect of coupling on the stability of the closed-loop in the presence of delay. Once the stability maps are generated, the Lambert-W function approach is utilized to find the stability exponents of the coupled system which, in turn, is used to generate damping contours within the pockets of stability. These contours are used to choose gain-delay combinations that could augment the inherent feedback delays into a larger delay period which can enhance the damping characteristics and reduce the system settling time significantly. An experimental plant comprised of two mass-spring-damper trios coupled with a spring is installed to validate the theoretical results and the proposed control hypothesis. Different scenarios consisting of different gains and delays are considered and compared with theoretical findings demonstrating very good agreement. Furthermore, the proposed delayed-proportional feedback decentralized controller is tested and its ability to dampen external oscillations is verified through different experiments. Such a research endeavor could prove very beneficial to many vital areas in our life. A good example is that of the coupled system of the natural and artificial cardiac pacemakers where the natural pacemaker represents a rhythmic oscillating system and the coupled artificial pacemaker provides a stabilizing signal through a feedback mechanism that senses the loss in rhythm. In this system, even the minute amount of delay in the sensing-actuating could prove very detrimental. The result of this research contributes to the solution of this and similar problems.

Most New Year resolutions never make it past January the 31st. In most cases, the resolution is too impractical. While bike riding can be impractical to some it can also be fun, a challenge and for sure a way to get in shape. So let’s talk about why it would be good to make bike riding a New Year resolution. I am merely going to talk about ways you can enjoy it and have fun with it. Chances are some might have made bike riding a New Years resolution and have not been on a bike in years. And one thing that holds true is once you learn you never forget. First I would like to say it is still cold in most spots after New Years so it can be a deterrent to even get started. But let’s look at it another way. It also gives you time to mentally get ready if you are waiting for the weather to be right to ride. Agree? It also gives you time to get your body ready by doing some stretching, sit-ups, squats, leg lifts and even push-ups. Guess what? Your resolution is already working towards the good. You can start off slow since you will have time and work your way up. Even if you start off with 10 reps of each exercise your body will be up to the challenge when you decide to ride. I tell you when I first started riding again I almost had no choice. I had no car and my job was about 7.5 miles from where I lived. The bus routes were not friendly. I would have rather rode the bike than to have to ride a bus downtown just to catch a bus that went by my job and believe it or not, I basically went back the same direction I came. I thought to myself, I can beat the bus on this bike. Maybe not at first but in a months time I will be and I was. And it had been about 5 years since I had ridden a bike. But I tell you it just becomes routine after a spell. Now, one of the things that will motivate you is if you are the type who like challenges. You find yourself trying to make every ride faster than the last. For people who like challenges, this is one way to keep your resolution going. And one thing that holds true is once you learn how to ride a bike you never forget. Motivation is needed because it is to easy to jump in your car or ride the bus when you are having some leisure days. This is why you have to turn bike paths, trips to the store, riding with friends or simply riding to work if possible and make them part of your lifestyle. I know people who make it a point just to ride the bike paths on the river here where I live. Believe me, after you do it for a spell you find yourself just doing it without even thinking about it. If you have kids you can pack those bikes up and ride to the nearest bike paths or routes and now you have a family fun activity that can get & keep you motivated. This is really cool because now you are just enjoying the outdoors and checking out the sites of where ever you choose to ride. Change it up and go to different places. Bike sightseeing is wonderful. Especially if there are places of attraction you can stop and rest, eat, or whatever. One thing people talk about for a New Years resolution is losing weight or getting in shape. I find things like going to the gym is hard to maintain unless you were a true athlete at one time. It has to be in you to do it. But bike riding we all did growing up so it is more natural to us. And riding a bike does just that, gets you in shape and helps your body in other ways. Cycling promotes great health in many ways. It reduces the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes & cardiovascular disease. This is done whether you are cycling for exercise or transportation. It also increases your blood flow which improves oxygen-rich blood to extremities. This means your heart your bodies muscles and arteries will benefit from you holding on to the resolution of bike riding. For us who have joints that are not great, it is a low-impact way to exercise. Your body does not take a pounding on a bicycle. But one thing you can count on is that your body will begin to strengthen as time goes on. So you see, making bike riding a New Year Resolution is not so bad at all. I can say if you don’t procrastinate and do it you will find that your body will start to feel so good you won’t want to stop. The best part is once you fine-tune yourself to it, if you do have to take a break, you will still be able to jump on and go without even thinking about it. The key is just to do it and let nothing change your mind. If you need a bike or any equipment you can get these things without breaking the bank. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg trying to ride a bike. Look around while you here and there is an online store in the header of this website. But before I go, I thought this was a pretty interesting video for when you do condition yourself into this cyclist you did not know you had in you. This might be an extended New Years resolution I might say. Enjoy! Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed it. If you have made bike riding a New Year resolution I wish you the best in succeeding. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them in the comments section below. I will respond within 24 hrs.

Symantec warns of "heightened ambitions" of Iranian hackers targeting Middle East. A digital security specialist has raised concerns of the "heightened ambitions" of a cyberattack group from Iran which is threatening to resurface and pose a real risk to transport networks in the Middle East. The Iranian hacking group, Chafer, last year targeted a range of organisations in the region with the motive of gathering intelligence, using infected Microsoft Excel documents to gain unlawful access to “airlines and aircraft services”. The illegal group also attacked telecoms and travel reservation companies. Symantec, the California-based software company, published on its website that Chafer has traditionally focused its attention on the countries Jordan, Israel, The United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and became active since at least July 2014. Since then the hacking group has employed new strategies, introducing seven new tools that have led to it infiltrating nine new organisations in the Middle East. Exposing the companies to malicious file hidden in an Excel document, which then installs three files on the computer and steals information from the compromised computer, Chafer reportedly accessed a telecoms company in the Middle East to facilitate surveillance of the company’s end-user customers and give the hackers a “vast pool” of new targets. It’s that approach that ultimately led Chafer to infiltrate an African airline, the details of which were harvested from the database of a travel reservations company. Providing details on the seven new systems that Chafer is using, as well as malware the group is known to have already used, Symantec revealed that many of them are “freely available, off-the-shelf” tools that are then put to a malicious use. non-sucking Service Manager (NSSM): An open-source alternative to the Windows Service Manager which can be used to install and remove services and will restart services if they crash.

Throughout history some colors have created destruction. Some intense pigments were used widely for decoration as the concern about them was still unknown. Back then, you had to be a daredevil to use color by times. Read on to know how color is not always that innocent. Let’s start with white, a misguidedly pure color. From the 4th century BC and for centuries longer, lead was used to create a white pigment, with an unrivaled density and opacity. From a block, it was grinded into powder. Being a substance that is quickly absorbed into the human body, lead poisoning disrupts all calcium functions and could even cause blindness and other neurological afflictions, including depressions and delusions. Because of the great quality of lead, artists kept using it as paint, not correlating it to the many ailments painters suffer. It wasn’t until the 19th century that alternatives were available thanks to zinc and titanium. Only in the 1970s lead was completely banished. Johannes Vermeer used lead in his paintings: Lady writing a letter with her maid & girl with the pearl earring. In 1898, Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radium. It was then believed to be healthy, which is why they started adding it to medicine, toothpaste and even food and water. Praised for its luminous color, the substance was also used in clothing and jewelry. Only about 50 years later people realized that radium contained a radioactive element, which was harmful to their health. Uranium glass in daylight & glowing under UV light. But that’s not all for green. Scheele’s green and Paris green are also sheer contenders in this list. Dating back to the 18th century, these pigments were also loved because of their synthetic, vibrant look in comparison to natural green dyes. They were used for anything, ranging from wallpaper and textiles to food and toys. These pigments were derivatives from arsenic, a substance that distorts cell function, leading to cancer and heart disease. Many factory workers were poisoned. It is even speculated that Napoleon died from slow arsenic poisoning, Gosio’s disease, inhaling toxic vapors from the wallpaper in his bedroom that was laced with arsenic. Especially William Morris from the British Art and Crafts movement used an abundance of this pigment in his wallpapers, entering the poison into living rooms of many middle class families. Not surprisingly, his family was mining this ingredient at large scale, so he had plenty at hand. Paris green, Scheele's green, wallpaper from Napoleon's bedroom, 19th century wallpaper by William Morris. Orange has always been a tricky pigment to come by. Realgar is one, known as “ruby of arsenic”. This substance was originally used as weed killer and rat poison in the Middle Ages, being highly toxic. Before World War II, uranium oxide was popular as a reddish orange glaze for ceramics. Similar to the green uranium, this pigment also emitted radiation. Drinking coffee out of a nuclear cup is not the best way to start your morning. During the War, the US government confiscated all uranium oxide to be used for bomb development. Afterwards, it was used for regular goods again. Unfortunately, this orange was wildly popular in the sixties. Watch out with these vintage finds, as they may still contain traces of the active element. The red glaze on this brightly colored dinnerware contained uranium oxide, which is slightly radioactive. Other warm colors to look out for are those consisting of cadmium. It was discovered by the chemist F. Stromeyer in the beginning of the 19th century. The pigment was rather expensive, as the metal is scarce. Sneaky like the other pigments, they misled many painters by their powerful depth of color. With only a tiny amount, bright oranges, reds and yellow colors came to life. Moreover, the colors retained their brightness and didn’t fade when exposed to daylight. The pigment characterizes many famous modern artists such as Henry Matisse, Paul Gaugin and Max Ernst. How else can you still admire Monet’s beautiful sunsets today? But you guessed it, also this pigment is too good to be true. Exposure leads to shifts in cell growth and affects the liver and kidneys horribly. Inhaling the powder doesn’t do much good for your lungs and can leave you feeling sick with the “cadmium blues”. Strangely enough, blue hasn’t been a problem, although this is a color we don’t see as much in nature. Luckily, coloring and food dyes are being tested thoroughly these days and even see a return to natural elements. Henry Matisse used cadmium in his painting: The red studio.

What is 710, the cannabis holiday? There is a 99.9% chance that if you are reading this blog post, you are well aware of the famous stoner holiday known as 420. But what about the lesser known and newer cannabis holiday, 710? If you are a cannabis concentrates fanatic, then chances are you know exactly what we are talking about. But for those who may be new to the scene, let’s talk about what the 710 holiday is, where it came from, and how you can celebrate! Just like the 420 holiday, 710 is a widely accepted holiday celebrating cannabis culture. As you might have guessed, it is celebrated on July 10th every year. But it can also be a daily sort of ritual, just like 4:20 p.m. has come to be known. The main difference between 420 and 710 is that while the idea of 420 celebrates marijuana as a whole, 710 specifically celebrates cannabis concentrates. Somewhere along the line, the term “710” has become synonymous with concentrates and dabbing. The origins of this term are fuzzy and there is no real historical documentation for the term like there is for 420. Some claim that 710 is what it is because turning the numbers upside spells the word “oil”, which is a very common form of cannabis concentrate. Regardless of whether that origin legend is true, oil is not the only type of concentrate this holiday celebrates! While it is true that not all concentrates are created equal, cannabis concentrates, by their very nature, are potent! Even if this isn’t your first rodeo, and even though you are celebrating a holiday, remember that you do not have to get overly stoned to do so. In fact, one could easily argue you will have a better time if you consume the right amount for you. If you are new to concentrates, go slow. Doing too much may ruin cannabis concentrates for you forever. But doing the right amount could open you up to a whole new world of options! #2: Don’t dab at a super high temperature. Dabbing at a high temperature will create a short but immediate high that will hit you like a ton of bricks with pronounced effects. The concept of a high temperature dab is what most people think of when they consider dabbing and that misconception can intimidate people enough to never even try! High temperature dabbing can also create “unwanted compounds” that can actually be harmful to your health, according to a study by the American Chemical Society. For many people, the idea of a super intense and immediate high sounds like a very uncomfortable sensation that they would rather avoid. And we totally get that! Luckily, dabbing at a lower temperature can totally change your entire experience with concentrates. If consumed at the right temperature, dabs can be a truly enjoyable, tasty, and mellow high that lasts way longer. The sweet spot for concentrates is somewhere between 350-400 degrees F, although some may like it a bit higher or lower. Anything well below 350 degrees F runs the risk of not properly vaporizing the concentrate, while anything well above 400 degrees F will degrade flavor, make it harsh on the lungs, and induce a much shorter high. No thanks! #3: Turn off your e-nail! Your 710 celebration could end in a catastrophe if you forget to turn off the e-nail on your rig! The convenience of an e-nail can’t be matched, but they can be a fire hazard if left on for hours and hours. The easiest way to avoid this is by getting an e-nail with an automatic shut off. But if you don’t have that luxury, handle it the old school way. Leave yourself a big note on a bright sticky pad and keep it right next to your rig. If you are a more tech-based person, set yourself a reminder or timer in your phone! #4: Get out of your comfort zone and try something new! When it comes to cannabis concentrates, your options are virtually endless! You can try a new type of concentrates, a new brand, or a new strain. If you usually stick to the same old thing every time because you are comfortable with it, use the holiday as inspiration to get out of your comfort zone. You may even find something you like way more! Buddy Boy Brands is proud to offer the very best concentrates from some of the most well-known companies in Colorado. You can trust all of our concentrate options to be high quality and worthy of your holiday celebration. Maybe you usually stick to oil, but you could use this 710 as an opportunity to try live resin, a super tasty and highly effective cannabis concentrate that is made with flash-frozen fresh cannabis. Try the live resin by Next1 Labs for the best first experience you could ask for! Or maybe you have been avoiding investing in a high quality vaporizer pen. Buddy Boy Brands has a great selection, from the cult favorite, Pax Era and Pax Era Pods, to the ceramic and very popular IndigoPro! We have it all just waiting for you. Happy 710, everyone! Don’t forget to head into any of the Buddy Boy locations near you to stock up for your celebration. We’ll help you pick some of the very best concentrates to enjoy as you celebrate.

Feb. 25—The headline today is "Wrong Dog." Caleb and I checked his wolf trapline. He caught a coyote in a leghold trap designed for a wolf. In fact wolves frequented the area after the coyote was trapped. They might have given the lesser canine fits—but why they didn't kill it is a mystery. Anyway, we could tell there had been a ruckus. Caleb skinned the coyote and we pressed on. We could tell wolves had been near the next trap but probably were wise to it. It did not hold a wolf—let's just leave it at that. Wolves are the smartest critters out here. Caleb has told me that, and today I saw plenty of evidence to back up the claim. At 7,000 feet we came across what looked to be the motherlode of wolf sign we've been looking for. At an intersection of snow-covered Forest Service logging roads we saw fresh tracks everywhere—made last night or possibly this morning. The wolves had urinated everywhere, too, and defecated. The place reeked. Caleb buzzed up and down two roads to decide which way we should go next. When he came back 30 minutes later he sounded like a detective at a crime scene. He thumbed over his shoulder and said, "They went that way." Only problem is we still hit a dead end. Eventually we found so many fresh tracks we should have been able to pick a solid direction in which to stalk/track. But we could not decide what the wolves were doing. At one point tracks from perhaps a pack of nine wolves went everywhere. Maybe they drew straws and the pack member who drew the short one had to lay decoy tracks. Seriously, though, this is fun stuff—and educational. I am learning so much about an apex predator. Today we logged 72 miles, mostly by snowmobile. And the temperatures are warming. I like that, except when I sink waist-deep in snow at 7,000 feet. Kinda hard to get out of such a predicament.

A victim impact panel consists of victim/survivors of crime who are willing to share their victimization with others. Although the Victim Services Division has utilized victim impact panels for many years as a portion of victim awareness and sensitivity training, due to the increasing number of victims/survivors who requested to participate on a panel, the Victim Impact Panel Program was implemented as a separate program specifically designed to assist victims with their recovery process. Historically, victims have been excluded from the criminal justice process, which only served to compound their confusion, frustration, pain, and anger. Speaking on a victim impact panel provides victims with an appropriate forum in which to express their feelings and talk about their victimization. Victims who have participated on victim impact panels have reported a sense of empowerment and healing as a result. Many panelists have requested to continue speaking on subsequent panels. An additional benefit of victim impact panels is the heightened victim sensitivity and awareness an audience gains by hearing the devastating and long-term effects of crime from the victim or a survivor of a victim. Various audiences include criminal justice professionals, victim advocate groups, offenders, and others.

Public cloud storage services have become a viable alternative to storing your enterprise data on-premise, but every service is different. This cloud storage comparison is intended to help you evaluate the leading offerings. Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Storage Services, Worldwide defines public cloud storage as "infrastructure as a service (IaaS) that provides object storage services through a REST API using Internet protocols. The service is stand-alone with no requirement for additional managed services… The service price is based on capacity, data transfer and/or other access requests. Stored data exists in a multitenant environment, and users access that data through the Internet or dedicated network connectivity." Using Gartner's definition there are only three companies offering services to include in a cloud storage comparison: Amazon Web Services, the clear leader, followed closely by Microsoft and then Google. Far behind in terms of completeness of vision and ability to execute are four very well-known names that nonetheless remain niche players in the cloud storage service market: Rackspace, AT&T, IBM and, at the very back of the pack, Verizon. Notably, prices in the cloud storage market have dropped significantly across the board over the last few years and continue to do so. That means it is almost meaningless to try to assess which service is the cheapest in a cloud storage comparison. Price-cutting has been accelerated by Amazon's, Microsoft's and Google's introduction of new services in addition to their standard storage services. These services offer ultra-low pricing in return for some compromise in terms of the level of redundancy or availability offered or the time to access the data. One thing that is very important to include in any cloud storage comparison is information about the location of the data centers where information is stored. This can be a key determinant of whether a particular service can be considered (for regulatory compliance reasons), especially for companies with operations outside the United States. For that reason location information has been included here. Amazon's S3 storage service offers four products: Standard Storage, Standard Infrequent Access (IA) Storage, Glacier Storage, and a newer Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS). Amazon's Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) is a low-cost Amazon S3 storage option that stores data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3’s standard storage. It is nonetheless designed to sustain the loss of data in a single facility.

"BIOLOGY, HABITAT PREFERENCE, AND LARVAL DESCRIPTION OF Cicindela cu" by Mathew L. Brust, W. Wyatt Hoback et al. Published in The Coleopterists Bulletin, 59(3):379–390. 2005. Copyright (c) 2005 Mathew Brust, Wyatt Hoback, and C. Barry Knisley. Cicindela cursitans LeConte is a small, flightless tiger beetle with a widely scattered distribution in the Great Plains, the Ohio Valley, and the north-central Gulf Coast region. Many aspects of the life history of C. cursitans are poorly known, and the larval stages have remained undescribed until now. We designed experiments to determine specific habitat preference, female oviposition preference, and daily activity cycles of the adults. In addition, we describe the entire pre-adult life history. Adults are most numerous on moist clay soils with sparse to patchy vegetation, but they may also occur in tall-grass prairies. Females oviposit strictly in moist soils consisting of fine particles. Adults are both diurnal and crepuscular, and presumably spend the nighttime hours hiding among vegetation. Larvae occur in the same habitats as the adults and are typically clustered near the bases of plants. The larvae are the smallest of any tiger beetle species described in North America (body length of first instars ¼ 2.6–3.2 mm, second instars ¼ 5.4–6.7 mm, third instars ¼ 8.4–10.1 mm) and most similar in morphology to Cicindela debilis Bates. Knowledge of the life history and habitats used by this species will allow a better understanding of its distribution and abundance, and its association with prairie habitats. This information as well as low dispersal rates may make this species useful for assessment of habitat quality and restoration success.

Summer will be here so soon. Fire - Like they say: Fire is a great servant but an awful master. Take caution in starting fires with any of the fire-starter accelerants. A flash burn or worse can be the result. Remember to stop, drop and roll if you need to extinguish yourself. Allergy - Just the usual avoidance of the plants and take antihistamines (OTC usually works well). Insects - Don’t mess with the hive. Africanized honey bees can be nasty in their vigor and persistence in attacks upon those who torment them. Distance and barrier protection will minimize the problems. Call for help promptly. Avoid being outside at dawn and dusk without insect repellent (high concentration applied DEET is excellent repellent). Too many viruses are spread by insect diseases. Tics - Let someone check you each 24-hour period or less. Remove them carefully (see internet for management). Other Summertime Activities - Generally, don’t mow grass barefoot. Do not put hands in holes unless you can see that it is safe. Watch for snakes. Climb trees carefully. Think before you use a rope swing: Are my arms/hands strong enough? July 4th - A big day in the Emergency Room. Too much sun, alcohol, fire and explosions. Fireworks - Remember, if a firecracker goes off in your hand (blowing off fingers) it can also blow out your eardrums! If you dare, you can drunkenly firewalk across the still-hot coals and maybe still Have a Glorious Fourth! Softball - remember to not slide in that softball game; too many severe ankle fractures, even in those cases when there is a break-away base. Head first? Do you really need to be that hero? Sun - A tan is not your friend! Despite the popularity suggested in the fake press. Temperature and Humidity - Stay hydrated. Keep drinking and urinate about once each hour. With usual (non-alcoholic or weakly alcoholic) liquids and pretty normal kidneys, drinking is more important than what you drink in keeping you going. Volume is more important than particular ingredients or lack of ingredients. In low humidity areas (think the Arizona desert) where you may not notice sweat, since the sweat you produce evaporates so quickly you miss identifying it; nevertheless, you are losing water. So, keep drinking. Plain water is good, but after a couple of quarts try something with some electrolytes in it. That can help avoid a low sodium concentration in the blood (it’s not good and makes you feel bad).

This book tells the story of the various Allied operations and schemes instigated to keep Spain and Portugal out of WWII, which included the widespread bribery of high ranking Spanish officials and the duplicity of Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr. Ian Fleming and Alan Hillgarth were the architects of Operation Golden Eye, the sabotage and disruption scheme that would be put in place had Germany invaded Spain. Fleming visited the Iberian Peninsula and Tangiers several times during the war, arguably his greatest achievement in WWII and the closest he came to being a real secret agent. It was these visits which supplied much of the background material for his fiction - Fleming even called his home on Jamaica where he created 007 'Goldeneye'. The book begins with Hitler's dilemma about which way to move, and his meeting with Francisco Franco at Hendaye in October 1940, a major turning point in the war when an alliance between Germany and Spain seemed possible. Simmons explores the British reaction to this, with Operation Tracer being created by Admiral Godfrey, head of Naval Intelligence. This was a plan to leave a listening and observation post buried in the Rock of Gibraltar should it have fallen to the Germans. A chapter is also devoted to Portugal - the SIS and SOE operations there and the vital Wolfram wars. Operation Golden Eye was eventually put on standby in 1943 as the risk of the Nazis occupying Spain was much reduced. Simmons consulted Foreign Office, SOE, CIA and OKW files when writing this book. This fascinating book will appeal to aficionados of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. It provides answers to some of the questions that readers ask themselves, such as: Did Fleming ever really work as a secret agent? Yes; but only for a brief period, on Operation Golden Eye.

Actually, the resolution itself is not belated. On the contrary, the issue of improved assessment of impact at origin has been gathering momentum steadily for me over the course of the past year, and has been the topic of some very good discussions on this blog in recent weeks. It reflects key lessons learned during our recently closed CAFE Livelihoods project, and some good recommendations issued by our friends at CIAT in their external evaluation of the project. In fact, we liked CIAT’s recommendations on CAFE Livelihoods so much that we decided to make it a part of our team for our Borderlands Coffee Project, a five-year initiative in Colombia and Ecuador that is just getting off the ground. We are working to build an M&E (monitoring and evaluation) system for Borderlands that is a cut above what we managed to put in place for CAFE Livelihoods — an effort that starts with our team itself. The Borderlands M&E team will be an integrated inter-institutional team including CRS M&E specialists, a couple of economists and a Ph.D. from CIAT, and the good folks from Cropster, who are helping us create a customized data platform to store and manage everything online. The design of the project M&E system will improve our credibility in attributing observed outcomes to project activities — we will be tracking both treatment and control groups to see how they perform on key indicators of success. And we will be gathering data on a wide range of variables associated with success on those indicators to ensure that our final analysis is not skewed by variables we omitted from the process. But arguably the most important innovation in the Borderlands project is its learning agenda. In my experience, all good coffee projects foster learning at the farm and farm enterprise levels. Few put in place people and processes to ensure that learning is systematized and analyzed by a team of development professionals, all with the explicit goal of helping coffee industry leaders and public-sector decision-makers what approaches are really working in coffee communities to make smallholder farmer livelihoods more secure. I am meeting this week with our Borderlands M&E team to begin to build out a system that ensures we measure our own performance and impact effectively. But I want to also make sure that we are asking ourselves the questions on the future of sustainable coffee that industry leaders and others are asking, and gathering the data that will help us contribute to the conversation based on credible evidence from the coffeelands. I’ll be truly interested to see what the indicators and overall evaluation questions are once this gets off the ground! I’m curious how deep this M&E plan will go? Will you just be monitoring economic impacts like productivity, quality and market access, or will you also be monitoring social indicators? E.g. how are the positive or negative economics indicators impacting the children of coffee farmers – I throw that one out there because primary school attendance is my pet evaluation question, but I’d be intrigued to see other social data aggregated as well. Qualitative data always abounds in this area, but I find quantitative data creates a more complete picture. Just curious! Thanks for your interest in this effort. I will be sure to post our baseline and impact indicators here once we finalize them, and continue to provide updates on our monitoring and evaluation efforts in connection with our Borderlands Coffee Project. Meantime, you will be happy to know that we do plan to include questions in the baseline survey about family composition and school attendance among primary and secondary-aged children.

It’s no secret that I love lemons, but did you know I even like lemon juice on my french fries? Just hear me out on this one. One of my favorite Greek carryout restaurants serves their french fries topped with feta cheese, oregano and lemon juice. It sounded strange to me at first, but as soon as I tried it, I was hooked. There’s a reason that your taste buds traditionally crave ketchup with fries – the acid in the tomatoes perfectly cuts through the fat and salt of the fries, making you want to go back for another bite. The same can (maybe) be said of the tangy buttermilk in ranch dressing, for those who love that on their fries. But lemon juice is really where it’s at for me with fries right now. Promise me you’ll give it a try. I think you’ll love it. Today, I’m translating the same flavor combination of potato + lemon + feta + oregano into a holiday-perfect side dish. Serving lamb for your holiday dinner? These Greek Mashed Potatoes want to be on your table with that lamb. Or beef. Or turkey. Or chicken. Just get these potatoes onto that table! This deliciousness starts with one and a half pounds of Idaho® potatoes and some garlic. Mashed potatoes made with Idaho® potatoes will have a taste that’s unequalled, and will hold up better than the competition, even when overmixed. Just boil until the potatoes are tender, then you’re going to drain and mash, along with some Greek yogurt, milk, butter and salt and pepper. Then, grab a spatula and fold in some feta cheese, fresh oregano, and lemon juice and zest. Then garnish with a little more cheese, because . . . cheese. To be sure you’re getting genuine, top-quality Idaho Potatoes, look for the “Grown In Idaho” seal. Also, please connect with Idaho® Potatoes on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Place garlic and potatoes in large pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. When potatoes are tender, drain well and place in large bowl (including garlic cloves). Add yogurt, milk, butter, salt and pepper; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in cheese, lemon juice, oregano and lemon zest. Home Chef Tip: There's lot of ways to mash or whip potatoes, but we used an electric mixer in culinary school for the smoothest, creamiest texture. Just make sure not to overmix! Be sure to get the yogurt, milk, butter, salt and pepper into the mixer with the drained potatoes before you start mixing, so you can limit your mixing time. Then, use just a spatula to fold in the lemon juice, oregano and lemon zest. Disclosure: This was a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Idaho® Potatoes. Sponsored posts help me pay for the costs associated with this blog (groceries…lots of groceries), and help support me as I pursue a career in recipe development and food photography. All opinions are 100% my own. Fries dipped in ranch is awesome, btw 😉 Love the Greek twist on mashed potatoes! You and my husband can have a ranch-with-fries party. I’ll be in the corner with my lemon wedges. haha. Mashed potatoes are nothing special to me. Except I’ll bet these would be! I love lemon and feta (especially sheep or goat feta) and the idea of lemon and feta on French fries sounds delectable. I think these mashed potatoes would be good with grilled lamb chops – your herb-crusted ones, or with za’atar… I’m getting hungry just thinking about that! Soooo much yes to all of this, I LOVE Greek food and now I got me some Greek comfort food right here! I love feta so this is right up my alley. Yum! Oh my goodness YES! Greek fries are the best, I can’t believe I never thought to convert it to mashed potatoes. I can’t wait to try these! Woot woot! Greek ‘taters for the win! Now you have me craving lamb and this gorgeous plate of flavorful mashed potatoes. Love these! What do you mean, he don’t eat no meat? It’s OK, I make lamb. And Greek mashed potatoes. I’ve been to a few places that do Greek fries too and I love them so much! That salty feta works perfectly with the fries. Since there’s always feta in my fridge (and lemons) and potatoes at home, I need to try this! Thanks Susan! Feta + potatoes + lemons are always on hand in my house, too! Feta + lemon can make anything delicious, so when you’re starting with something as good as mashed potatoes you know you’ll end up with a winning recipe! So glad you liked the, Anne. Have a great weekend!

This is Lesson 6 of the Paraphrase Writing e-course, the final activity in this e-course. In this lesson, you will paraphrase sentences by removing words and replacing them with their definitions. Here is an example. The judge’s verdict surprised everyone in the courtroom. The judge’s final decision surprised everyone in the courtroom. This is an easy example. We put the definition in the sentence and no other changes were needed. Sometimes, you have to change the sentence to make the definition work properly. Watch out for prepositions, for instance. Here is an example. Parents opposed to after-school programs should not have to pay for these services if their children do not attend those classes. Parents against after-school programs should not have to pay for these services if their children do not attend those classes. In the first sentence, the key words are ‘opposed to.’ In the second sentence, we replaced the key words with ‘against.’ Notice that we don’t need the preposition ‘to’ in the second sentence. That is an example of the details you need to watch out for when paraphrasing with meanings. You can download the paraphrase worksheet here. But first, spend time with the dictionary to learn these words and phrases. Download the worksheets here. It is a three-page activity sheet (A4 page size) with suggested answers at the back. Thank you so much for the wonderfully organized lessons on “paraphrasing!” This will help my students a lot! You are welcome and thanks for the kind words. My ESL GED class loved these worksheets. Thank you so much. Glad to hear your students liked the worksheets. Thanks for the note. Words can’t thank you enough, because I have learned so much from your lessons. Thank you for such effective step-by-step paraphrasing lessons!

The more complex the data migration project, the greater the margin for error. That’s why it helps to follow best practice to reduce the likelihood of data getting lost or corrupted during the migration, and to minimise the potential impact on the business. 1. Define the data that is required for the migration. a) Do not migrate data that is no longer required. i. Fields required in the source system may be superfluous to business needs and benefits. ii. There may be fields of inaccurate data that are mandated but not required, and therefore do not need to be migrated. These fields are often filled with “.” or other irrelevant characters that were input to satisfy source system constraints when users entered the data. b) Do not migrate data that is out of date, as this may affect marketing campaigns or statistical analysis within the new system. c) Do migrate data to give business advantage – but make sure you define beforehand which data is business critical. 2. Use a tool to profile the data so you have a full picture of the current quality of the data, and where the gaps may be. 3. Cleanse the data where required. You can do this manually before the data migration starts, or you can do down the automated route prior or during migration. 4. Define the quality rules the data has to abide by early on in the process to give a robust framework for the migration. You can define these rules from system analysis, business analysis, and via gap analysis between the source and target systems. 5. Get sign-off on the rules. The complete set of quality rules needs to be reviewed and approved by the domain and system experts for both the source and target systems before you begin the data migration. 6. Verify the data against the rules. It is best practice in complex data migration projects to make this an ongoing process, where possible. The rules should continue to be defined, so you can maintain a constant view of the data and ensure that its quality is fit for purpose. That way, you can raise any issues early on, mitigate risks, and lower the chance of losing data during the migration. 7. Define a clear flow for data during migration, error reporting and rerun procedures. 8. Use a tool for data migration to professionalise and automate the process, thus further reducing the risk of error and data loss. Did you like this article?

I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity. I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity. Education in the light of present-day knowledge and need calls for some spirited and creative innovations both in the substance and the purpose of current pedagogy. And I hope that five years and 10 years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity. We're spirited and spiritual... and fun follows us around. The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged. Pictures of Amazons on vase paintings always show them as beautiful, active, spirited, courageous, and brave. I took a lot of influences from Studio Ghibli, which is the Japanese animation studio that made 'Spirited Away' and 'Castle in the Sky.' They're like the Japanese version of Disney - but without all the schmaltz. It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content, or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself; it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength. I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters. But baseball bounced back in the next decade to reclaim its place as the national pastime: new heroes, spirited competition, and booming prosperity gave birth to dreams of expansion, both within the major leagues and around the world. I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships. If you talk to a British officer or NCO about the strategic objectives of the end state, you'll often get a spirited discussion that's very well informed. I saw Donald Trump give a spirited voice to those of us who don't like the status quo, and I see emerging in front of us the potential for what a unified Republican government can get you, which can be the solutions. Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic. If you've seen 'Spirited Away', 'Spirited Away' is set in a very, very Japanese sensibility. And so, to Japanese audiences, when Sen would walk up, the main character, and look at this big building with a flag on it with Japanese writing on it, everyone in Japan would know what that is. New Orleans taught me that mourning takes many different forms. Where I'm from, mourning is spirited. It is loud. Working with Mario Testino was a joy. He's very young spirited, and it's always lovely and a pleasure to spend time talking to him about all different things. The good guys in my movies mind their own business, and they don't judge other people. And the bad guys are jealous; they judge other people without knowing the whole story. They want all the attention, and they're mean spirited. I love lawyers. And I like to talk to lawyers, and I like to engage in a spirited discussion with lawyers. Anne Boleyn is an intriguing character. She seems to appeal to modern-day women in a very potent way. Because she was such an independently opinionated and spirited young woman, which at the time was unheard of. I'm not trying to sound mean spirited, but I honestly don't know of many successful musicians who get that excited about other current artists' music. You're either a music fan, or you're a working musician. Everybody has an idea of the kind of society they'd like to live in, and I would like to live in one where our senior politicians were spirited and original and possibly even good at what they do. I'd forgotten I'd done the anime called Spirited Away, the English version of a Japanese film.

As we approached the beginning of April, I already knew it was going to be a busy month. Our calendar was full of hand written reminders for upcoming events, and while I was excited for each and every one of them, a small amount of anxiety set in. Being an introvert, I recharge with downtime and April did not allow for many quiet evenings. However, looking back I’m thankful for our busy month and all the memories it created. Right from the start we were in celebration mode! I was lucky to have my birthday fall on Easter this year, so our family gathering was twice as fun. We enjoyed a delicious meal, ate cake, and laughed while we played board games. After our Easter celebrations, we returned to Milwaukee and were met with snow. Yes, snow! This could have been my breaking point, but I decided to stay positive. This was not an easy choice, but visiting cozy local coffee helped lift my spirits. With the snow sticking around for a few days, Ian and I took advantage of local indoor activities. We attended the Milwaukee Makers Market at the Discovery World and were surprised by the free exhibits! We wandered through the aquarium, played on a ship, and learned about waste water treatment. It was hard to pull Ian out of the exhibits, but we were celebrating our eight year dating anniversary that night and needed to head off to our dinner reservation. We closed out the month in the best possible way – with a wedding. Two of our close college friends tied the knot and hosted the most beautiful wedding weekend. Ian stood up in the wedding and I got emotional seeing all of our close friends together again in one room. We danced the night away at the reception and took full advantage of the photo booth to snap a few pictures from the night. Interested in seeing more moments from our month? Watch the short video below!

Arriving to meet behind closed doors with Senate Republicans, ABC News’ Mary Bruce asked President Trump to share his message for Americans who may be worried about their health care. A coalition of Republican-led states filed a lawsuit in Texas last year against the federal government, arguing that Congress’ decision to eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate penalty — a fee Americans paid if they didn’t enroll in some form of health insurance coverage — should render the entire law invalid. “Once the heart of the ACA — the individual mandate — is declared unconstitutional, the remainder of the ACA must also fall,” according to the lawsuit. The outcome of the case could translate into an abrupt and disruptive turn in the nation’s health care system. Some 8.8 million people signed up for a plan on Healthcare.gov for the 2018 coverage year. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar — who supported the lawsuit — has insisted that the administration has a “plan B” to protect people with pre-existing conditions if the court strikes down the entire health care law, commonly known as Obamacare.

How do Christians make sense of evil in the world? They're tough questions for anyone who hasn't studied theology. An upcoming workshop hosted by a leading Anglican evangelist is intended to help Christians better explain themselves to others. "You may sit down on an airplane going with somebody somewhere and get into a discussion about religion. A lot of folks back off because they don't know what to say," said the Rev. Marc Robertson, rector of Christ Church. "It helps to be able to say, 'look this is what Christians have believed for 2,000 years.' You don't have be angry or belligerent, but you can engage people and find out where they are." Christ Church hosts "Sharing Our Faith," a series of workshops taking place Friday through Sunday to help Christians become better evangelists. The conference at the downtown church is associated with the Anglican Communion Network, a group of Anglican and Episcopal churches working to advance theologically conservative ideals. The network counts 200,000 lay members and 2,200 clergy in more than 900 congregations. Christ Church and St. John's Episcopal Church in Savannah are among member congregations listed on the Network's Web site. The featured speaker, the Rev. Michael Green, has a "friendly and winsome fashion" in explaining evangelism, even to those who feel timid about sharing their faith with others, Robertson said. "He's known well outside Anglican and Episcopal circles, and we're just thrilled to have him," Robertson said. "He's known as the Billy Graham of the Church of England." Green currently serves as the Canon Missioner of Holy Trinity Church in Raleigh, N.C. Formed in 2004, the church joined the Anglican Communion Network after some members of Raleigh's Christ Church became disaffected with their Episcopal bishop's support for the consecration of Gene Robinson as the openly gay Bishop of New Hampshire. As a British theologian and leader in Anglican evangelism, Green has been on a tour of member churches leading a nationwide campaign called the "Good News Initiative." The project aims to spread "a renewed focus on evangelism" to churches associated with the conservative organization. Green has written more than 50 books on early Christianity and evangelism. His resume includes serving as adviser to the Advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, as a research fellow at the Church of England's theological college at Oxford University and as a professor and an Anglican priest. Readers described some of Green's books listed on Amazon.com as "worthwhile scholarship and practical Christian-life reading rolled into one," as well as "exhaustive and sometimes exhausting."

Mixed martial artist, Israel Adesanya savours contesting against an athlete he’s looked up to while growing up. Concise News reports that Adesanya comfortably out-point Brazilian legend Anderson Silva in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday. “He’s still got it, make no mistake,” Adesanya says. “People were saying ‘are you going to go easy on ‘The Spider?” I was going in there hoping to take him out but I’m not stupid. The New Zealand-Nigerian is determined that the next time he enters the octagon will be for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight title. Elevated to the main event at UFC 234 after champion Robert Whittaker was forced to withdraw from his defence against Kelvin Gastelum with a severe abdominal injury, Adesanya delivered a Fight of the Night performance to extend his unbeaten record to 16-0 (5-0 in the UFC). The 29-year-old never looked in any serious danger against Silva, prevailing in a tactical battle to win 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27 on the judges’ scorecards. The match-up was originally meant to be for the number one contender position. However, Whittaker’s injury has muddied the middleweight picture for the time being. There was no confusion for Adesanya, though. “I’m the number one contender, I’m the guy fighting for the belt,” ‘The Last Stylebender’ says in his post-fight press conference. “I don’t care, Kelvin or Rob, whoever it is, I’m fighting for the belt. Adesanya and Gastelum for that matter will likely have to wait until Whittaker’s status becomes clearer before they figure out their next move. Adesanya’s victory over Silva was not as explosive as many had hoped but UFC president Dana White slammed critics who had written off the 43-year-old former champion before the fight. After a slow first round, Silva surprised with his ability to keep up with Adesanya in the second. The Kiwi then showed his class in the third, battering Silva’s legs while landing a total of 65 significant strikes to 31. With so many similarities in style, the result was seen as a torch-passing moment between the two fighters. The triumph of the man who has his roots in Africa made it three from three for Auckland’s City Kickboxing gym, with teammates Shane Young and Kai Kara-France also coming away with decision wins. That made the day sweeter for Adesanya. Meanwhile, White signalled his intention to bring the UFC back to New Zealand for a third time, despite not giving a timeframe. New Zealand last hosted a UFC event in June 2017. “Well look at Israel now,” he says. “The answer to that question is yes.

Along with our in-house modalities, we also offer outreach services that include MRI and nuclear medicine. The services provided by these modalities cover a full range of non-invasive tests that provide your doctor with detailed information that will help aid in your diagnosis. Different symptoms will indicate what procedures should be performed. Learn more about these procedures below. Radiography is a general imaging modality that can aid in a variety of diagnoses. Radiographs are a one-dimensional image that can show bone and internal organs. Coteau Health Care System utilizes the newest form of fixed and portable digital radiography equipment. Thus in any situation, you’ll be provided with the highest quality exam. Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used diagnostic imaging modality. CT allows us to see all the internal anatomy in greater detail than general radiography. It produces multi-dimensional images that can be post-processed into 3D images. CT scans are extremely beneficial in trauma situations, as well as in clinical settings. Ultrasounds are a form of diagnostic testing that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of soft tissue and surrounding structures. Trans Med is a mobile Ultrasound service that performs vascular, thyroid and testicular exams for Coteau Health Care System. Ultrasound is used for more than evaluating a fetus in a pregnant woman. MRI uses a powerful magnet, low-intensity radio waves, and computer technology to create multi-dimensional images of your body. MRI is most commonly used to look at muscles, nerves, and most soft tissues in the body. This mobile service is provided by DMS Health Technologies. Our hospital offers bone densitometry scans—also called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans. DEXA scans are used to measure bone mineral density or bone mass. These types of scans are helpful in diagnosing osteoporosis. EKGs, Holter, and Event Monitors allow us to record and monitor a patient’s heart rate. Electrocardiograms look at potential problems with the electrical activity of a patient’s heart. Holter and event monitors—or ambulatory electrocardiography devices—are often used to diagnose problems with a patient’s heart rhythm or rate, especially arrhythmias. These monitors are a portable form of testing used to look at the cardiovascular system’s electrical activity for an extended period of time. EEGs are used to measure and record the electrical activity of the patient’s brain. This test tracks and reports the patterns of brainwaves. This test aids us in diagnosing seizure disorders, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. For more information about the radiology services provided at our hospital, call CDP to speak with a representative.

Years ago, when I predominantly studied with print books, I arranged them specifically on my desk for maximum effectiveness. My Bible lay open right in front of me, with an analytical Bible and lexicon on either side. Scattered around the Bible were commentaries, Bible dictionaries, theology books, and more. After studying for a while, my desk became a disorganized mess that necessitated my periodically stopping to rearrange the books. Of course, now, with Logos Bible Software, we primarily study with electronic books. We still, however, have a “desktop” displaying books—a desktop that needs cleaning up. Here are a few simple tips that will help you keep your Logos desktop neatly arranged. Click and hold Passage Guide. Drag Passage Guide around the screen, noticing that as you drag, different sections of the screen “highlight” in blue. Let go of the mouse button to start a new tile in the blue highlighted section. Double-click the borderline between two panels. Double-click the meeting point (which looks like a three- or four-way intersection) between three or four panels. Open a lot of different resources and resize the panels to make a very cluttered desktop. Select a predefined layout, such as 4 Tiles, in the lower left portion of the menu. Watch Logos carefully arrange resource and resize panels for you! How do you keep your Logos 4 desktop organized? Leave a comment and let us know! I use a four panel layout that I have saved for Bible study. English Bible in upper left, Greek or Hebrew in bottom left. Commentaries arranged in order I prefer them (left to right) on bottom right. Lexical iads in upper right. I keylink the the Bibles and commentaries as A and the lexical resources as B so I can move easily between similar type sources. I actually have a second English Bible tab in the upper left panel so I can cross-reference without dragging my linked commentaries along with it. Thank you very much for your blogs Morris. Without them I would be lost. What Do Lying Shrimp Have to Do with New Testament Exegesis? Halfway There: Six More Amazing Deals Left!

Recently I stumbled over a tool Coveralls. It helps monitoring your test coverage. You can integrate it e.g. with your Travis-CI builds by using a plugin for your favorite build tool. Needless to say that they also provide Travis-CI similar badge to show off your current test coverage near your current build status in your README file at GitHub.

Our testimonials are growing by the day, the universal theme that they all share is that they are feeling great in a fraction of the time and feeling amazed at how simple being healthy is! Listen in on how Cassie transformed the health of her ENTIRE family & the harmony that is now in the household! Maria and Stella share their transformational experience and results with chiropractic at The Wellness Source. Here is Alison who now has a life without pain and digestive issues! Tina tells all about her fantastic experience with a wellness lifestyle, we’re so proud of you Tina! For many years I have suffered with terrible stomach pain and headaches. On the worst days sometimes even getting out of bed is miserable. The stomach pain can be constant and uncomfortable with no real indication of what sets it off. For my headaches, I would regularly take over the counter medicines to get through the day. I have tried many different prescriptions and over the counter meds with no real, lasting improvement. I have tried altering my diet, exercise and never really noticed significant changes. This has affected me in many ways. Often I feel so terrible I will not make plans or cancel the ones I do have just to rest and avoid anything that would/could trigger the upset. I’ve missed days at work and have been less productive because of it. After receiving treatment at The Wellness Source, I have had significantly less stomach pain and issues. My headaches are no longer a daily battle. Chiropractic has opened my eyes to a new way of “medicine” and healing. Dr. Nick has been absolutely instrumental to my healing and improvements. He always takes the time to really listen to you and will always help address any concerns, health related or not, to make sure you leave his office not only feeling physically better but mentally as well. Thanks!!! Michelle R. As a marathon runner, I have very tight IT bands and hamstrings which bother me after a long runs. I also have sporadic isolated tender points on my left hip that get aggravated with running as well. I have tried stretching, massage therapy and trigger points treatment in the past. After receiving treatment, my running has improved. I was able to run the recent Hot Chocolate race continuously without any walking breaks for the first time, my IT bonds/hamstrings are looser and there are no issues with my hip. Dr. Nick is very professional, personable and really cares about me. I always look forward to coming in for my appointment. The clinic has a positive energy that always an amazing way to end my day. Ricardo S. My head and legs would fall asleep after a short time sitting with my lower back hurting bad. It happened slowly and, I put up with it for over a year. The pain and inconvenience of live got to be too much. This condition was really affecting me because I wasn’t able to drive far without being uncomfortable. I had a hard time just getting in and out of bed and while doing any type of exercises. I’ve had great results since I started at The Wellness Source. My neck is back to normal. I can move all over. My legs never go numb after driving and minimal lower back pain. Its great!! The Wellness Source has been a wonderful place to come to. They are very caring, thorough and helpful in so many ways. They have gotten better and grown themselves in various ways to help our lives. Michelle W. The pain began in June 2014. At it worst, I had a constant, growing pain in my ribcage (front and back) and pressure in my upper abdomen, under my ribs. Standing was uncomfortable. I was unable to sit upright and movement made it worse. After multiple medical test ruled out a medical condition, my physician tried different medications without significant results. I had a difficulty sleeping and avoided social outings. I wasn’t able to work in my yard and garden, which is something I enjoy. Since coming to The Wellness Source, the results have been dramatic! Within 2-3 weeks, the pain in my ribcage/abdomen had decreased noticeably and I was able to sit upright without pain. The progress continues. Dr Nick and his team provide a welcoming and calming environment and, Dr. Nick’s treatment was right on target. He also offers advice/insight on healthy eating lifestyle. Lynn G. The pain in my neck was a gradual condition from sitting at a desk for over 10 years. It felt extremely tight all the time. To reduce the pain, I used heating pads, self massage, occasional full body massage and the use of ibuprofen. The relief was temporary. Since I started coming to The Wellness Source, my range of motion and the curvature of my neck have improved and, the tightness in my neck and shoulders has been reduced. Dr. Nick is likable, helpful and listens intently to my concerns. I have learned a lot of information on a variety of health and wellness related topics from his expertise. I particularly like how he is continually mixing things up in an attempt to better serve his patients. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Cameron R. I suffered from headaches, neck pain and pain between the shoulder blades which resulted from my bilateral mastectomy surgery. I could not sleep due to the pain and delt with this discomfort for 2-3 years. I tried many things in the past to ger rid of this condition: Over the counter pain medications, massages, hot showers, even purchases special pillows. I would feel good for a few days then back to the discomfort. I had restless and sleepless nights, difficulty sitting at the computer at work. I felt like someone was always sitting on my shoulders. This made me feel very tired and unrested.

Will we continue to own personal vehicles? Can public transit survive in a world with Uber and Lyft? What ever happened to those flying cars we used to dream about? Patricia Mokhtarian will deliver the signature presentation at the 2018 Transportation Research Board meeting in January, the Thomas B. Deen Distinguished Lecture. The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Dec. 5 it would invest $300 million in new research through University Transportation Centers, including half a dozen where the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering will play a significant role. Travel behavior scholar Patricia Mokhtarian has been named the Susan G. and Christopher D. Pappas Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Mokhtarian serves as the first-ever Pappas Professor, an honor made available this summer when the Pappas family created the new named position. A lot has been written about how millennials are different. Researchers have suggested that millennials have fundamentally different attitudes, values, perceptions, and preferences than prior generations, and their lifestyles will eventually transform our cities into bastions of sustainable mobility. Well, that’s unlikely to happen after all, according to new research published by a team of School of Civil and Environmental Engineering researchers specializing in transportation systems analysis. Joy in traveling. Hard to imagine being joyful as you look at a stream of taillights ahead of you during your evening commute. But the idea of travel being less utilitarian and more pleasurable was one of the key themes of Professor Patricia Mokhtarian’s Martin Wachs Lecture last week at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Beijing Aviation Ground Services (BGS), the joint venture between Beijing-based Capital Airport Holding (CAH) and Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), recently expanded its ground handling services in China. Now it is looking at new opportunities in Southeast Asia. Editor Nol van Fenema reports. CAH, which holds 60 percent in thejoint venture with SATS controllingthe remaining 40 percent, has becomea leading airport group in MainlandChina by taking over several domesticairports. In line with CAH’s strategy to makeBGS a leading provider of groundhandling services in China, the groundhandler meanwhile has set up facilitiesat airports in Chongqing, Hubei,Guizhou, Tianjin, Jiangxi, Jilin as wellas Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang. From the start in 1995, the companyhas been providing ground handingservices to foreign and domestic carriers,covering passenger, cargo, ramp,line maintenance as well as ticket salesservices. Its current client base includessome 30 airlines. BGS director and general manager,Han Wei, says he expects a 400,000tonnes throughput for 2006, up from356,000 tonnes in 2005. He also predictsan average annual growth rate of35 percent, which by 2010 would bringthe throughput to 1,000,000 tonnes. Although BGS is currently focusedon consolidating operations at the eightairports in China, Han says he is lookingat further international expansion,possibly with an international partner,which he adds, would not necessarilybe his current Singapore joint venturepartner. He stresses though that thelink with SATS is strong and has beenbeneficial for BGS. The expansion plans come in threestages, explains Han. Firstly, startingthis year, BGS will finalise the set upof its own operations in passenger andcargo handling plus line maintenanceat the eight earlier-mentioned airportsin China.
