"Because my friend, Mr. McGuire, and I are also doing a stint in the Christmas pantomime. It's Snow White. I'm Doc, and he's Dopey."

Monsanto developed its aluminum-resistant โTerminatorโ seed in step with the Welsbach patent and Cloverleaf jets furrowing the sky and sowing Al2O3 combustion chemicals in soil, oceans, rivers, water reservoirs, gills and lungs. Big Pharma corporations boost cancer, legislate for more vaccinations, and pay off physicians to ply Americans with one drug after another. Like Monsanto seed, fertilizers, and pesticides, โmood stabilizersโ and vaccines are designed to work synergistically with the chemicals and nanoparticulates falling from the sky.

Speaking about timeโs relentless passage, Powellโs narrator compares certain stages of experience to the game of Russian Billiards as once he used to play it with a long vanished girlfriend. A game in which, he says,
โ...at the termination of a given passage of time...the hidden gate goes down...and all scoring is doubled. This is perhaps an image of how we live. For reasons not always at the time explicable, there are specific occasions when events begin suddenly to take on a significance previously unsuspected; so that before we really know where we are, life seems to have begun in earnest at last, and we ourselves, scarcely aware that any change has taken place, are careering uncontrollably down the slippery avenues of eternity."

1. Who is a Death Warrior?
Anyone can be a Death Warrior, not just someone who is terminally ill. We are all terminally ill. A Death Warrior accepts death and makes a commitment to live a certain way, whether it be for one year or thirty years.
2. When does one become a Death Warrior?
There is a specific moment during which you can decide to become a Death Warrior. That moment is when death shows you that you will die.
3. How do you become a Death Warrior?
Once you accept that life will end, you can become a Death Warrior by choosing to love life at all times and in all circumstances. You choose to love life by loving.
4. What are the qualities of a Death Warrior?
A Death Warrior is grateful for every second of time given and is aware of how precious each second is. Every second not spent loving is wasted. The Death Warrior's enemy is time that is wasted by not loving.
5. Why should you become a Death Warrior?
So you can live and die with truth and courage, and because life is too painful when you're wasteful with the time given to you.

How to tell your pretend-boyfriend and his real boyfriend that your internal processors are failing:
1. The biological term is depression, but you don't have an official diagnostic (diagnosis) and it's a hard word to say. It feels heavy and stings your mouth. Like when you tried to eat a battery when you were small and your parents got upset.
2. Instead, you try to hide the feeling. But the dark stain has already spilled across your hardwiring and clogged your processor. You don't have access to any working help files to fix this. Tech support is unavailable for your model. (No extended warranty exists.)
3. Pretend the reason you have no energy is because you're sick with a generic bug.
4. You have time to sleep. Your job is canceling out many of your functions; robots can perform cleaning and maintenance in hotels for much better wage investment, and since you are not (yet) a robot, you know you will be replaced soon.
5. The literal translation of the word depression: you are broken and devalued and have no further use.
6. No one refurbishes broken robots.
7. Please self-terminate.

โI donโt know. Do you appreciate being drop-kicked back to the accommodation area?โ
โOoh! Whatโs your problem, lady? Have you got something against small furry animals, or what?โ Look Ms. Sma, I know very well Iโm a ship, and I do everything Iโm asked to doโincluding taking you to this frankly rather fuzzily specified destinationโand do it very efficiently, too. If there was the slightest sniff of any real action, and I had to start acting like a warship, this construct in your hands would go lifeless and limp immediately, and Iโd battle as ferociously and decisively as Iโve been trained to. Meanwhile, like my human colleagues, I amuse myself harmlessly. If you really hate my current appearance, all right; Iโll change it; Iโll be an ordinary drone, or just a disembodied voice, or talk to you through Skaffen-Amtiskaw here, or through your personal terminal. The last thing I want is to offend a guest.โ
Sma pursed her lips. She patted the thing on its head and sighed. โFair enough.โ
โI can keep this shape?โ
โBy all means.โ
โOh goody!โ It squirmed with pleasure, then opened its big eyes wide and looked hopefully at her. โCuddle?โ

Two large trials of antioxidants were set up after Petoโs paper (which rather gives the lie to nutritionistsโ claims that vitamins are never studied because they cannot be patented: in fact there have been a great many such trials, although the food supplement industry, estimated by one report to be worth over $50 billion globally, rarely deigns to fund them). One was in Finland, where 30,000 participants at high risk of lung cancer were recruited, and randomised to receive either ร-carotene, vitamin E, or both, or neither. Not only were there more lung cancers among the people receiving the supposedly protective ร-carotene supplements, compared with placebo, but this vitamin group also had more deaths overall, from both lung cancer and heart disease. The results of the other trial were almost worse. It was called the โCarotene and Retinol Efficacy Trialโ, or โCARETโ, in honour of the high p-carotene content of carrots. Itโs interesting to note, while weโre here, that carrots were the source of one of the great disinformation coups of World War II, when the Germans couldnโt understand how our pilots could see their planes coming from huge distances, even in the dark. To stop them trying to work out if weโd invented anything clever like radar (which we had), the British instead started an elaborate and entirely made-up nutritionist rumour. Carotenes in carrots, they explained, are transported to the eye and converted to retinal, which is the molecule that detects light in the eye (this is basically true, and is a plausible mechanism, like those weโve already dealt with): so, went the story, doubtless with much chortling behind their excellent RAF moustaches, we have been feeding our chaps huge plates of carrots, to jolly good effect. Anyway. Two groups of people at high risk of lung cancer were studied: smokers, and people who had been exposed to asbestos at work. Half were given 3-carotene and vitamin A, while the other half got placebo. Eighteen thousand participants were due to be recruited throughout its course, and the intention was that they would be followed up for an average of six years; but in fact the trial was terminated early, because it was considered unethical to continue it. Why? The people having the antioxidant tablets were 46 per cent more likely to die from lung cancer, and 17 per cent more likely to die of any cause,* than the people taking placebo pills. This is not news, hot off the presses: it happened well over a decade ago.

Three, 300, or 3,000 - these are the number of unknown days, a week, a year, or a decade, each far too precious little and yet, poignantly too much at the same time, to see an irrevocably declined loved one languish and suffer. That fear-ridden, irreversible release lingers in the doorway, but hesitates for reasons we don't understand, leaving us to weep with a mixture of angst and gratitude all at the same time. It is finally ushered all the way in, to comfort and carry our loved one to that Better Place. When the time finally comes, we can be enveloped in a warm cloak of long-awaited acceptance and peace that eases our own pain. It quiets the grief which has moaned inside of us, at least some, every single one of those bittersweet days, weeks... or years.

Similarly, when they return home, the hunter dreams of going back to the woods, just as the warrior yearns for battle. Is it the guilt of no longer being in the fight?

so-called master narratives are perceived to have foundered. Fredric Jameson notwithstanding, belief has waned for many, but not affect. If anything, our condition is characterized by a surfeit of it. The problem is that there is no cultural-theoretical vocabulary specific to affect.2 Our entire vocabulary has derived from theories of signification that are still wedded to structure even across irreconcilable differences (the divorce proceedings of poststructuralism: terminable or interminable?). In the absence of an asignifying philosophy of affect, it is all too easy for received psychological categories to slip back in, undoing the considerable deconstructive work that has been effectively carried out by poststructuralism. Affect is most often used loosely as a synonym for emotion.3 But one of the clearest lessons of this first story is that emotion and affectโif affect is intensityโfollow different logics and pertain to different orders. An emotion is a subjective content, the sociolinguistic fixing of the quality of an experience which is from that point onward defined as personal. Emotion is qualified intensity, the conventional, consensual point of insertion of intensity into semantically and semiotically formed progressions, into narrativizable action-reaction circuits,

The luxury of the caliphs, so useless to their private happiness, relaxed the nerves, and terminated the progress, of the Arabian empire. Temporal and spiritual conquest had been the sole occupation of the first successors of Mahomet; and, after supplying themselves with the necessaries of life, the whole revenue was scrupulously devoted to that salutary work. The Abbassides were impoverished by the multitude of their wants and their contempt of ลconomy. Instead of pursuing the great object of ambition, their leisure, their affections, the powers of their mind, were diverted by pomp and pleasure; the rewards of valour were embezzled by women and eunuchs, and the royal camp was encumbered by the luxury of the palace.

A new technology can transform society, but when the technology is in its infancy, very few people can see its full potential. For example, when the computer was first invented, it was merely a tool for increasing efficiency, and some thought five computers would be enough for the entire world. Artificial hibernation was the same. Before it was a reality, people just thought it would provide an opportunity for patients with terminal illnesses to seek a cure in the future. If they thought further, it would appear to be useful for interstellar voyages. But as soon as it became real, if one examined it through the lens of sociology, one could see that it would completely change the face of human civilization. All this was based on a single idea: Tomorrow will be better.

Once you decide on the best poison for the termination, you must work out the correct concentration. For instance, I know that five milligrams of cetratranic acid dropped into a bell-jar with a single moth will take about three seconds to stun it. I know that seven milligrams will anaesthetize it and ten is enough to kill it, providing the moth does not weight more than 3.5 grams. I also know that to kill fifty moths you need five times the concentration or volume of killing fluid, but to kill seven thousand you'd need only two hundred times the concentration. I know that potassium chloride could never kill a larger moth and potassium sulphide would only ever be strong enough to anaesthetize it. I know that cyanide kills anything. But what I don't know right now is the precise amount I will need to kill Vivien.

In ends there is found a twofold order, to wit, the order of intention and the order of execution, and in both orders there must be some first point. That which is first in the order of intention is a sort of principle moving the desire: take that principle away, and desire would have nothing to move it. The moving principle of the execution is that from whence the work begins: take away that moving principle, and none would begin to work at anything. Now the moving principle of the intention is the last end: the moving principle of the execution is the first step in the way of means to the end. Thus, then, on neither side is it possible to go on to infinity: because, if there were no last end, nothing would be desired, nor any action have a term, nor would the intention of the [3] agent rest. On the other hand, if there were no first step in the means to the end, no one would begin to work at anything, and deliberation would never terminate, but go on to infinity.

El jรบbilo de ver de nuevo su rostro,
de volver a abrazarla, de escuchar su
risa, de verla comer, de mirar sus manos
otra vez, la dicha de contemplar su
cuerpo desnudo, de besar su cuerpo
desnudo, de ver cรณmo frunce el ceรฑo,
cรณmo se cepilla el pelo, se pinta las
uรฑas, la alegrรญa de estar otra vez con
ella en la ducha, de hablar de libros con
ella otra vez, de ver cรณmo se le llenan
los ojos de lรกgrimas, de ver cรณmo
camina, de oรญr cรณmo insulta a รngela, el
regocijo de leerle en voz alta, de oรญrla
eructar, de ver cรณmo se cepilla los
dientes, el gozo de desnudarla de nuevo,
de juntar otra vez la boca con la suya, de
mirarle la nuca, el placer de andar por
la calle con ella, de ponerle el brazo
sobre los hombros, de lamerle los
pechos de nuevo, de penetrar en su
cuerpo, de volver a despertarse a su
lado, de hablar de matemรกticas con ella,
de comprarle ropa, de darle y recibir
masajes en la espalda, de volver a
hablar de su porvenir, la alegrรญa de vivir
otra vez con ella en el presente, de oรญrla
decir que lo quiere, de decirle que la
quiere, de volver a sentir la mirada de
sus intensos ojos negros, y luego la
tortura de verla abordar el autobรบs en la
terminal de Port Authority en la tarde
del 3 de enero con la plena conciencia
de que hasta abril, dentro de mรกs de tres
meses, no tendrรก ocasiรณn de volver a

Eight Bells: Robert J. Kane โ55D died June 3, 2017, in Palm Harbor, Florida. He came to MMA by way of Boston College. Bob or โKiller,โ as he was affectionately known, was an independent and eccentric soul, enjoying the freedom of life. After a career at sea as an Officer in the U.S. Navy and in the Merchant Marine he retired to an adventurous single life living with his two dogs in a mobile home, which had originally been a โYellow School Bus.โ He loved watching the races at Daytona, Florida, telling stories about his interesting deeds about flying groceries to exotic Caribbean Islands, and misdeeds with mysterious ladies he had known. For years he spent his summers touring Canada and his winters appreciating the more temperate weather at Fort De Soto in St. Petersburg, Floridaโฆ. Enjoying life in the shadow of the Sunshine Bridge, Bob had an artistic flare, a positive attitude and a quick sense of humor. Not having a family, few people were aware that he became crippled by a hip replacement operation gone bad at the Bay Pines VA Hospital. His condition became so bad that he could hardly get around, but he remained in good spirits until he suffered a totally debilitating stroke. For the past 6 years Bob spent his time at various Florida Assisted Living Facilities, Nursing Homes and Palliative Care Hospitals. His end came when he finally wound up as a terminal patient at the Hospice Facility in Palm Harbor, Florida. Bob was 86 years old when he passed. He will be missedโฆ.

unexpected and inexplicable that emerged along with the generated responses had to do with the differences between happiness and sadness, children and adults, not being all theyโre cracked up to be, much to our scientific chagrin: a change in the rules. Intensity is the unassimilable. For present purposes, intensity will be equated with affect. There seems to be a growing feeling within media, literary, and art theory that affect is central to an understanding of our information- and image-based late capitalist culture, in which so-called master narratives are perceived to have foundered. Fredric Jameson notwithstanding, belief has waned for many, but not affect. If anything, our condition is characterized by a surfeit of it. The problem is that there is no cultural-theoretical vocabulary specific to affect.2 Our entire vocabulary has derived from theories of signification that are still wedded to structure even across irreconcilable differences (the divorce proceedings of poststructuralism: terminable or interminable?). In the absence of an asignifying philosophy of affect, it is all too easy for received psychological categories to slip back in, undoing the considerable deconstructive work that has been effectively carried out by poststructuralism. Affect is most often used loosely as a synonym for emotion.3 But one of the clearest lessons of this first story is that emotion and affectโif affect is intensityโfollow different logics and pertain to different orders. An emotion is a subjective content, the sociolinguistic fixing of the quality of an experience which is from that point onward defined as personal. Emotion is qualified intensity, the conventional, consensual point of insertion of intensity into semantically and semiotically formed progressions, into narrativizable action-reaction circuits,

Although thrilled that the era of the personal computer had arrived, he was afraid that he was going to miss the party. Slapping down seventy-five cents, he grabbed the issue and trotted through the slushy snow to the Harvard dorm room of Bill Gates, his high school buddy and fellow computer fanatic from Seattle, who had convinced him to drop out of college and move to Cambridge. โHey, this thing is happening without us,โ Allen declared. Gates began to rock back and forth, as he often did during moments of intensity. When he finished the article, he realized that Allen was right. For the next eight weeks, the two of them embarked on a frenzy of code writing that would change the nature of the computer business.1 Unlike the computer pioneers before him, Gates, who was born in 1955, had not grown up caring much about the hardware. He had never gotten his thrills by building Heathkit radios or soldering circuit boards. A high school physics teacher, annoyed by the arrogance Gates sometimes displayed while jockeying at the schoolโs timesharing terminal, had once assigned him the project of assembling a Radio Shack electronics kit. When Gates finally turned it in, the teacher recalled, โsolder was dripping all over the backโ and it didnโt work.2 For Gates, the magic of computers was not in their hardware circuits but in their software code. โWeโre not hardware gurus, Paul,โ he repeatedly pronounced whenever Allen proposed building a machine. โWhat we know is software.โ Even his slightly older friend Allen, who had built shortwave radios, knew that the future belonged to the coders. โHardware,โ he admitted, โwas not our area of expertise.โ3 What Gates and Allen set out to do on that December day in 1974 when they first saw the Popular Electronics cover was to create the software for personal computers. More than that, they wanted to shift the balance in the emerging industry so that the hardware would become an interchangeable commodity, while those who created the operating system and application software would capture most of the profits.

Raphael pulled out a paperback and handed it to me. The cover, done back in the time when computer-aided imagine manipulation had risen to the level of art, featured an impossibly handsome man, leaning forward, one foot in a huge black boot resting on the carcass of some monstrous sea creature. His hair flowed down to his shoulders in a mane of white gold, in stark contrast to his tanned skin and the rakish black patch hiding his left eye. His white, translucent shirt hung open, revealing abs of steel and a massive, perfectly carved chest graced by erect nipples. His muscled thighs strained the fabric of his pants, which were unbuttoned and sat loosely on his narrow hips, a touch of a strategically positioned shadow hinting at the worldโs biggest boner.
The cover proclaimed in loud golden letters: The Privateerโs Virgin Mistress, by Lorna Sterling.
โNovel number four for Andreaโs collection?โ I guessed.
Raphael nodded and took the book from my hands. โIโve got the other one Andrea wanted, too. Can you explain something to me?โ
Oh boy. โI can try.โ
He tapped the book on his leather-covered knee. โThe pirate actually holds this chickโs brother for ransom, so sheโll sleep with him. These men, they arenโt real men. Theyโre pseudo-bad guys just waiting for the love of a โgoodโ woman.โ
โYou actually read the books?โ
He gave me a chiding glance. โOf course I read the books. Itโs all pirates and the women they steal, apparently so they can enjoy lots of sex and have somebody to run their lives.โ
Wow. He mustโve had to hide under his blanket with a flashlight so nobody would question his manliness. Either he really was in love with Andrea or he had a terminal case of lust.
โThese guys, theyโre all bad and aggressive as shit, and everybody wets themselves when they walk by, and then they meet some girl and suddenly theyโre not uber-alphas; they are just misunderstood little boys who want to talk about their feelings.โ
โIs there a point to this dissertation?โ
He faced me. โI canโt be that. If thatโs what she wants, then I shouldnโt even bother.โ
I sighed. โDo you have a costume kink? French maid, nurse . . .โ
โCatholic school girl.โ
Bingo. โYou wouldnโt mind Andrea wearing a Catholic school uniform, would you?โ
โNo, I wouldnโt.โ His eyes glazed over and he slipped off to some faraway place.
I snapped my fingers. โRaphael! Focus.โ
He blinked at me.
โIโm guessingโand this is just a wild stab in the darkโthat Andrea might not mind if once in a while you dressed up as a pirate. But I wouldnโt advise holding her relatives for ransom nookie. She might shoot you in the head. Several times. With silver bullets.

In order for A to apply to computations generally, we shall need a way of coding all the different computations C(n) so that A can use this coding for its action. All the possible different computations C can in fact be listed, say as
C0, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5,...,
and we can refer to Cq as the qth computation. When such a computation is applied to a particular number n, we shall write
C0(n), C1(n), C2(n), C3(n), C4(n), C5(n),....
We can take this ordering as being given, say, as some kind of numerical ordering of computer programs. (To be explicit, we could, if desired, take this ordering as being provided by the Turing-machine numbering given in ENM, so that then the computation Cq(n) is the action of the qth Turing machine Tq acting on n.) One technical thing that is important here is that this listing is computable, i.e. there is a single computation Cx that gives us Cq when it is presented with q, or, more precisely, the computation Cx acts on the pair of numbers q, n (i.e. q followed by n) to give Cq(n).
The procedure A can now be thought of as a particular computation that, when presented with the pair of numbers q,n, tries to ascertain that the computation Cq(n) will never ultimately halt. Thus, when the computation A terminates, we shall have a demonstration that Cq(n) does not halt. Although, as stated earlier, we are shortly going to try to imagine that A might be a formalization of all the procedures that are available to human mathematicians for validly deciding that computations never will halt, it is not at all necessary for us to think of A in this way just now. A is just any sound set of computational rules for ascertaining that some computations Cq(n) do not ever halt. Being dependent upon the two numbers q and n, the computation that A performs can be written A(q,n), and we have:
(H) If A(q,n) stops, then Cq(n) does not stop.
Now let us consider the particular statements (H) for which q is put equal to n. This may seem an odd thing to do, but it is perfectly legitimate. (This is the first step in the powerful 'diagonal slash', a procedure discovered by the highly original and influential nineteenth-century Danish/Russian/German mathematician Georg Cantor, central to the arguments of both Godel and Turing.)
With q equal to n, we now have:
(I) If A(n,n) stops, then Cn(n) does not stop.
We now notice that A(n,n) depends upon just one number n, not two, so it must be one of the computations C0,C1,C2,C3,...(as applied to n), since this was supposed to be a listing of all the computations that can be performed on a single natural number n. Let us suppose that it is in fact Ck, so we have:
(J) A(n,n) = Ck(n)
Now examine the particular value n=k. (This is the second part of Cantor's diagonal slash!) We have, from (J),
(K) A(k,k) = Ck(k)
and, from (I), with n=k:
(L) If A(k,k) stops, then Ck(k) does not stop.
Substituting (K) in (L), we find:
(M) If Ck(k) stops, then Ck(k) does not stop.
From this, we must deduce that the computation Ck(k) does not in fact stop. (For if it did then it does not, according to (M)! But A(k,k) cannot stop either, since by (K), it is the same as Ck(k). Thus, our procedure A is incapable of ascertaining that this particular computation Ck(k) does not stop even though it does not.
Moreover, if we know that A is sound, then we know that Ck(k) does not stop. Thus, we know something that A is unable to ascertain. It follows that A cannot encapsulate our understanding.

Unlike design and plant patents, however, a utility patent currently requires the patent holder to pay a maintenance fee of $800 at three and a half years, $1,800 at seven and a half years, and $3,700 at eleven and a half years. If you have licensed your patent to a firm that has more than 500 employees, these fees double. Failure to pay a maintenance fee results in the termination of the patent.

With human projects and ventures we have another story. These are often scalable, as I said in Chapter 3. With scalable variables, the ones from Extremistan, you will witness the exact opposite effect. Letโs say a project is expected to terminate in 79 days, the same expectation in days as the newborn female has in years. On the 79th day, if the project is not finished, it will be expected to take another 25 days to complete. But on the 90th day, if the project is still not completed, it should have about 58 days to go. On the 100th, it should have 89 days to go. On the 119th, it should have an extra 149 days. On day 600, if the project is not done, you will be expected to need an extra 1,590 days. As you see, the longer you wait, the longer you will be expected to wait.

Figure 3.3 Astrocytes maintain the structure of the synapses. In addition, the astrocytes maintain the 20 nanometer wide space between the axon terminal from one cell (output) and the dendritic spines of another cell (input). This space is called the synapse. How is this very thin space maintained? Why doesnโt the axon terminal float away? Or glide into the dendritic spine? Notice in the figure the ends of the astrocyte envelop the synapse and maintain its integrity. The astrocyte both encircles the axon terminal and the dendritic spine and maintains the optimal distance between them. (We discuss the dynamics within the synapse later.) This serves to isolate the synapse from the space around the neuron, and so limits the dispersion of transmitter substances released by the axon terminal into the extracellular space. Children are not just small adults Now you can understand why children are not just small adults. Childrenโs brain connections are different than adults, and so children necessarily process the world in a different way than their parents. Figure 3.4 below shows brain images (heads are facing to the left) when children and adults were given the same task โ a โnoun/verbโ task. They heard a noun, such as car, and generated a verb. What verb might you generate for the word car? Drive. For the word bike? Ride. For the word food? Eat. Notice, children perform this task by primarily using the back of the brain (right of the figure). This is the visual association area, the area that creates concrete perception. When adults did this task, the most active parts of the brain were in the front (right of the figure).

Because the priests say that God created our souls, and that just puts us under the control of another puppeteer. If God created our will, then heโs responsible for every choice we make. God, our genes, our environment, or some stupid programmer keying in code at an ancient terminalโthereโs no way free will can ever exist if we as individuals are the result of some external cause.โ โSoโas I recall, the official philosophical answer is that free will doesnโt exist. Only the illusion of free will, because the causes of our behavior are so complex that we canโt trace them back. If youโve got one line of dominoes knocking each other down one by one, then you can always say, Look, this domino fell because that one pushed it. But when you have an infinite number of dominoes that can be traced back in an infinite number of directions, you can never find where the causal chain begins. So you think, That domino fell because it wanted to.โ โBobagem,โ said Miro. โWell, I admit that itโs a philosophy with no practical value,โ said Ender. โValentine once explained it to me this way. Even if there is no such thing as free will, we have to treat each other as if there were free will in order to live together in society. Because otherwise, every time somebody does something terrible, you canโt punish him, because he canโt help it, because his genes or his environment or God made him do it, and every time somebody does something good, you canโt honor him, because he was a puppet, too. If you think that everybody around you is a puppet, why bother talking to them at all? Why even try to plan anything or create anything, since everything you plan or create or desire or dream of is just acting out the script your puppeteer built into you.โ โDespair,โ said Miro. โSo we conceive of ourselves and everyone around us as volitional beings. We treat everyone as if they did things with a purpose in mind, instead of because theyโre being pushed from behind. We punish criminals. We reward altruists. We plan things and build things together. We make promises and expect each other to keep them. Itโs all a made-up story, but when everybody believes that everybodyโs actions are the result of free choice, and takes and gives responsibility accordingly, the result is civilization.โ โJust a story.

When rain falls, it starts its inevitable journey to the sea. If this journey is rapid, the rain carries topsoil and pollutants with it to streams and then rivers, which terminate in the earthโs oceans. If rainwater is slowed by vegetation, more of it seeps into the ground rather than rushing into local streams. Such infiltration not only replenishes water tables but also scrubs the water clean of its nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metal pollutants. Moreover, slow and steady discharge from water tables into streams and rivers reduces the destructive pulse of stormwater that scours our tributaries of their biota. By virtue of their copious leaf surface area and large root systems, oaks impede rainwater from the moment it condenses out of clouds. Much of the water intercepted by leafy oak canopies (up to 3,000 gallons per tree annually) evaporates before it ever reaches the ground (Cotrone 2014). All this makes oaks one of our very best tools in responsible watershed management.

The Sunday Guardian, in its issue of 22 August, 2010 stated, on the basis of credible information, that a settlement took place at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and that it was worked out by Warren Anderson and a personal friend and representative of the then prime minister of India. Under this unofficial settlement, the government wanted to be paid secretly, under the table. When Union Carbide officers raised serious doubts regarding the Supreme Courtโs acceptance of this unfair and corrupt settlement, they were assured that the Supreme Court was not their worry. The negotiators would manage everything. And manage, they did. The entire manifestly illegal and corrupt settlement did go through the judicial filter. A somnolent Supreme Court permitted composition of non-compoundable offences and quashed proceedings without falling under the well settled rule of quashing jurisdiction. Surely, if there was an honest and real negotiated settlement between Union Carbide and the Indian government it would require large and complex correspondence evidencing genuine bargaining prior to the settlement being finalized. Such huge claims are not settled by a telephonic talk of which no record exists. It is worth recalling here an interesting faux pas that occurred in connection with the financial settlement of the Bhopal gas tragedy. When N.D. Tewari became external affairs minister, he went to the United States to plead with potential investors to come to India. The consul general of India was present at the meeting addressed by the minister. The minister innocently referred to the Bhopal gas tragedy and the inadequate compensation received from Union Carbide. A Union Carbide representative present in the audience, stood up and caused consternation by declaring in public that Union Carbide had paid almost everything that India had asked for, but a large part of the amount was paid as out of court settlement, ostensibly for the purposes of the Congress party. If the Indian government denies the truth of the story that some people in or connected with the government swallowed a big fortune, they must produce the documents which were exchanged during the pre-settlement negotiations and until their final termination. The government must produce them even now. The people of this country are entitled to know how a claim of $3.3 billion came to be settled for a paltry amount of $475 million. However, neither has the government given any explanation, nor has the story been refuted till today.

First, note that the example configures the same message level at the console and for terminal monitoring (level 7, or debug), and the same level for both buffered and logging to the syslog server (level 4, or warning). The levels may be set using the numeric severity level or the name as shown earlier in Figure 33-3. The show logging command confirms those same configuration settings and also lists the log messages per the logging buffered configuration.

Pentagon.Across the Potomac River, the United States Congress was back in session. At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, people began to line up for a White House tour. In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush went for an early morning run. For those heading to an airport, weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey.Among the travelers were Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, who arrived at the airport in Portland, Maine. 1.1 INSIDE THE FOUR FLIGHTS Boarding the Flights Boston:American 11 and United 175. Atta and Omari boarded a 6:00 A.M. flight from Portland to Bostonโs Logan International Airport.1 When he checked in for his flight to Boston,Atta was selected by a computerized prescreening system known as CAPPS (Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System), created to identify passengers who should be subject to special security measures. Under security rules in place at the time, the only consequence of Attaโs selection by CAPPS was that his checked bags were held off the plane until it was confirmed that he had boarded the aircraft. This did not hinder Attaโs plans.2 Atta and Omari arrived in Boston at 6:45. Seven minutes later,Atta apparently took a call from Marwan al Shehhi, a longtime colleague who was at another terminal at Logan Airport.They spoke for three minutes.3 It would be their final conversation. 1 2 THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT Between 6:45 and 7:40,Atta and Omari, along with Satam al Suqami,Wail al Shehri, and Waleed al Shehri, checked in and boarded American Airlines Flight 11, bound for Los Angeles.The flight was scheduled to depart at 7:45.4 In another Logan terminal, Shehhi, joined by Fayez Banihammad, Mohand al Shehri, Ahmed al Ghamdi, and Hamza al Ghamdi, checked in for United Airlines Flight 175,also bound for Los Angeles.A couple of Shehhiโs colleagues were obviously unused to travel;according to the United ticket agent,they had trouble understanding the standard security questions, and she had to go over them slowly until they gave the routine, reassuring answers.5 Their flight was scheduled to depart at 8:00. The security checkpoints through which passengers, including Atta and his colleagues, gained access to the American 11 gate were operated by Globe Security under a contract with American Airlines. In a different terminal, the single checkpoint through which passengers for United 175 passed was controlled by United Airlines, which had contracted with Huntleigh USA to perform the screening.6 In passing through these checkpoints,each of the hijackers would have been screened by a walk-through metal detector calibrated to detect items with at least the metal content of a .22-caliber handgun.Anyone who might have set off that detector would have been screened with a hand wandโa procedure requiring the screener to identify

Jason bebia uma caneca de cerveja preta, a quarta, a espera de que o temporal passasse. Mas nรฃo passava, vinha em ondas sucessivas. Tinha comeรงado a pensar em sair assim mesmo, de qualquer jeito, quando de repente uma figura estranha junto ao balcรฃo chamou a atenรงรฃo de todos.
Era um homem alto, de olhos azuis, cabelo loiro escuro, barba e bigode, bem constituรญdo. Se estivesse sรณbrio e usasse um roupa melhor, passaria por um sujeito elegante. Mas estava absolutamente bรชbado e a roupa era um farrapo em desalinho. Demonstrara a bebedeira agora, dando um grito repentino que havia assustado todo mundo. Nรฃo um grito normal de bรชbado: um rugido, um som portentoso e fundo que encheu o local, quase tรฃo sonoro quanto uma nota. E prolongado, prolongado. O loiro de barba inclinou a cabeรงa para trรกs e continuou a berrar. Era inacreditรกvel que tanto som pudesse caber num รบnico homem.
A clientela observava o berrador com uma certa benevolรชncia. Divertimento dos bons era raro, nesses lados de Londres. O berrador inclinou mais uma vez a cabeรงa. Berrou mais uma vez โ um som comprido, um lamento que nรฃo acabava. Era como ouvir uma fera encurralada. E agora viam que ele apertava os olhos como se sentisse dor, e viam que alguma coisa escorria pelo seu rosto.
โร o russoโ, Jason ouviu dizerem na mesa ao lado. โFica assim toda vez que quer ir para casa. Acontece a mesma coisa toda semana em que em que ele toca o suficiente para bancar essa bebedeiraโ.
Jason ficou onde estava, observando. Teve pena do russo, que chorava e tinha saudades de casa.

Three, 300, or 3,000 - these are the number of unknown hours, days, a week, a year, or a decade, each far too precious little and yet, poignantly too much at the same time, to see an irrevocably declined loved one languish and suffer. That fear-ridden, irreversible release lingers in the doorway, but hesitates for reasons we don't understand, leaving us to weep a special cocktail of tears made of angst and gratitude, permeating us with some of the deepest emotions we will ever know. Finally, the release is ushered all the way in, to comfort and carry our loved one to that Better Place. It also envelopes us in a warm cloak of acceptance and peace that eases our own pain. It quiets the grief which has moaned inside of us, at least some, every single one of those bittersweet hours, days, weeks... or years.โ Until that day of our own flying away, and beholding our loved one again, in that Beautiful Paradise.

When on October 5, 1917, the Passchendaele offensive was sinking into the mire, and the Cabinet sought to bring it to a conclusion, Robertson was compelled to rest himself upon โthe unsatisfactory state of the French armies and of the general political situation in France, which was still far from reassuringโ;10 and again: โThe original object of the campaignโthe clearance of the Belgian coastโwas seen to be doubtful of attainment long before the operations terminated, owing to the bad weather experienced and to the delay in starting caused by the change of plan earlier in the year. But, as already explained, there were strong reasons why activity had to be maintained. We must give the French armies time to recover their strength and morale, make every effort to keep Russia in the field in some form or other, and try to draw enemy troops to Flanders which might otherwise be sent against Italy, especially after her defeat at Caporetto. All these purposes of distraction were achieved, and in addition heavy losses were inflicted upon the German armies.โ11 For these โpurposes of distractionโ the killing, maiming or capture of over 400,000 British soldiers was apparently considered a reasonable price to pay. It appears however that although Robertson drove the Cabinet remorselessly forward, he had convinced himself that none of the British attacks for which he bore responsibility in 1915 and in 1916 had had any chance of decisive success. โWith respect to the alleged error of always attacking where the enemy was strongest,โ he writes,12 โI could not refrain from saying that the greatest of all errors was that of not providing before the war an army adequate to enforce the policy adoptedโฆ. Until this year we have not had the means to attack with the hope of getting a decision,13 and therefore we have had no choice in the point of attack.โ He used these words on his own avowal on June 21, 1917; so that the highest expert authority responsible for procuring the support of the Cabinet to two years of offensive operations had already convinced himself that up till 1917 the British Army โhad not the means to attack with the hope of getting a decision.โ Undeterred however by this slowly-gained revelation, he proceeded to drive the unfortunate Ministers to authorize the prolongation into the depths of winter of the Passchendaele offensive.

No. 1, when you ask whoโs interested in this, the usual answer is, terminally ill people with excruciating pain. False. Factually not true. It tends to be a preoccupation of people who are depressed or hopeless for other reasons. No surprise, actually, if you look at what leads to suicide: hopelessness and depression. You have to look at euthanasia or assisted suicide as more like suicide than like a good death. Second, this notion that thereโs no slippery slope, as advocates have long claimed? Totally wrong. Look at Belgium and the Netherlands: First, itโs accepted for adults who are competent and give consent. Then, itโs โWeโre going to extend it to neonates with genetic defects, and adolescents.โ Any time we do anything in medicine, itโs the same way: We develop an intervention for a narrow group of people, and once itโs well accepted, it gets expanded. I think itโs false to say, โWe can hold the line here.โ It doesnโt work that way. Third, people say this is a quick, reliable, painless intervention. No medical intervention in history is quick, reliable, painless and has no flaws. In the Netherlands, thereโs about a 17 to 20 percent rate of problems, something screwing up. Initially, when the Oregon people published โ โWe have no problems. Every case went flawlessly!โ โ you knew the data was wrong. It had to be wrong. Either youโre not getting every case, so the denominator was wrong, or people are lying. Thereโs nobody who does a procedure, not even blood draws, and itโs perfect every time. So this idea that this is quick, reliable and painless is nonsense. And the last and most important point is: You want to legalize these interventions to improve end-of-life care in this country? Thatโs your motivation and this is your method? PS: I donโt think people argue thatโโ ZE: [interrupting] Oh, people do argue that! That is the justification for these procedures: Itโs going to improve end-of-life care and give people control. The problem is, even in countries that have legalized it for a long time, at best 3 percent of people die this way in the Netherlands and Belgium. At best, 10 percent express interest in it. That is not a way to improve end-of-life care. You donโt focus lots of attention and effort on 3 percent. Itโs the 97 percent, if you want to improve care. The typical response is, we can do both. Hmmm. Every system Iโve ever seen has a bandwidth problem: You can only do so much. We ought to focus our attention on the vast, vast majority, 97 percent of people, for whom this is not the right intervention and get that right โ and we are far from that. I donโt think legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide are the way to go. Itโs a big, big distraction.
