A nurse put 100 gloves into 4 containers. She puts gloves in the containers in such a way that each container has two more gloves than the one before. How many gloves are in each container?
Answer: 22, 24, 26, and 28 gloves.
Let X be the number of gloves in the first container. Then there are X+2 gloves in the 2-nd container, X+4 gloves in the 3-rd container, and X+6 gloves in the 4-th container. Hence, we have X+X+2+X+4+X+6=100. Solving for X, we get X=22 gloves in the first container, 24 gloves in the 2-nd container, 26 gloves in the 3-rd container and 28 gloves in the 4-th container.

Brad Pitt sat down with Details magazine and candidly talked about his kids, Angelina Jolie and his private life. He said he had to adjust to having so many kids, but now that he has he assures the magazine: “We’re not done."
“I don’t want them to be tensing up, and I don’t want them to see or feel any kind of threat,” he continued, “But man, when [photographers] cross the line, you know-if it happened to one of your kids, it’s hard not to want to take them down."And even though Angelina and Brad seem like the most glamourous couple to hit Hollywood’s red carpet, Brad admits he likes to be more low key. He said, “"Without question, relaxing in bed and watching a movie is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve settled down in many ways-when we get invitations to this club or this party, I pick and choose. The best times are quiet times at home."

Status: Common winter. Uncommon inland breeder.
Common Loons are large water birds with thick necks and sharp bills. In breeding plumage, both sexes have striking black heads with white collars, white breasts, and black backs with white checkering. Adults in non-breeding plumage are brownish gray with white throats and breasts, partial white collars, and white around the eyes. Under-parts are white in all plumages. Juvenile plumage is similar to non-breeding.
In the breeding season, Common Loons can be found on large secluded lakes (at least 49 acres in size) with plenty of room for takeoff, deep inlets and bays, and a good supply of small fish. These lakes can be in forested areas in mountains or lowlands. Islands, logs, and floating debris attract nesting loons. In winter, Common Loons are usually found on salt water, typically in shallow areas close to shore. They occasionally winter on fresh water.
In winter, Common Loons are solitary while feeding, but they congregate in loose flocks at night. Before diving, they sometimes swim along the surface with heads partly submerged, looking for prey. When swimming under water, they use only their feet for propulsion.
Common Loons generally eat small fish up to 10" long, and also take crustaceans, mollusks, aquatic insects, leeches, and frogs. They may also occasionally eat aquatic plants. They swallow small prey under water and bring larger prey to the surface.
The male and female build the nest very near the water, on the shore or on a small island. The nest, a mound of grasses, twigs, and reeds, is partly hidden by surrounding vegetation, and is often reused from year to year. Common Loons will also use man-made floating nest-sites. The female lays two eggs, and both parents incubate. The young leave the nest only a few days after hatching and can dive and swim underwater at 2-3 days of age. Both parents continue to feed and tend the young, which sometimes ride on their backs.
Common Loons are medium-distance migrants. They migrate singly or in small flocks, just offshore low over the water. Over land, they fly higher. Peaks for the fall migration are from late August to late November. In the spring, peaks are from late April to early May.
It is not known if the population of Common Loons in Washington is increasing, stable, or decreasing. Common Loons have declined in Washington in the last century, but there are no good data on their historic distribution in the state. Records of known nesting have increased in the past 15 years, but this may be due to increased sampling efforts. Because there are known threats and the species is recognized as vulnerable, Common Loons are classified as a state 'sensitive species' by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Gap Analysis Project also lists it as a species at risk. Pesticides, mercury contamination, and lead poisoning are all potential threats. Oils spills are also a threat, especially since loons dive rather than fly when they encounter oil slicks. Common Loons avoid densely populated areas, thus development of lakes and the resulting increase in boat traffic have resulted in a decrease in available habitat. Jet skis are a major disturbance to loons in that they are fast, loud, and can maneuver in shallow areas where loons nest. The decline of Common Loons continent-wide has aroused extensive public concern and action, and breeding conservation programs are in effect over much of their range. Many populations have responded to this effort. In Washington, there are 20 confirmed Common Loon nesting locations, and 8-10 nests were found each year in the 1990s. Common Loons do not breed until they are 5 years old, and often not until 7 or older. This delayed breeding results in low productivity, making it harder for the population to rebound from declines.
In winter, Common Loons can commonly be found on marine bays and inlets along the coast. They can also be found on nearby fresh water, albeit less frequently. During migration they are numerous on Puget Sound, Hood Canal, and Willapa Bay. They can also be found on large bodies of water in eastern Washington during migration, and in smaller numbers in winter. Common Loons have nested recently on lakes and reservoirs in Ferry, Okanogan, Douglas, Chelan, Whatcom, and King Counties. Non-breeding adults can be found in the summer in the north Puget Sound area, on the outer coast, and on lakes and reservoirs of Central Washington.

Question: How many words constitute a fictional short story? Not a short, short story but a short story.
Answer: Generally, a short story is any story under 7,500 words. Anything under 1,000 words is often termed flash fiction.
However, these definitions are not fixed. Sometimes works up to 20,000 words have been called short stories. You have to check with individual publishers (such as literary magazines, websites, contests, etc.) to see what length of stories they are looking for and what terms they are using to describe them (e.g. micro-fiction, novelette, novella, postcard fiction).
At the extreme lower end there are also "six word memoirs," such as this famous one attributed to Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

Exposing a piece of film over a long period of time, from a specific location, compresses the exposure, and creates a solargraph. The photographic technique requires a pinhole camera to capture the diffuse and thin light onto photo-sensitive paper or film.
Pinhole photography is an early light capturing approach now being used to create modern art photos. The images look like they might have been discovered in an old trunk filled 19th Century daguerreotypes of soldiers or cold winter forests. A pinhole camera is required to make a solargraph. A photo can be produced using almost any container that allows a spot of light inside to slowly expose the film. The exposure time depends on the size of the pinhole.
A beautiful and unconventional solstice solargraph was recorded with a pinehole camera made from a soda pop can lined with photo-sensitive paper. The photograph required a 6-month long time period to properly capture the image of the suns passage across the sky. The camera was positioned at a stationary location, near the radio telescope of the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, where the simple camera continuously recorded the Sun's path each day from June 21st until December 21st, the dual summer and winter solstices. The ancient, foggy, appearance of the image was caused by cloud cover while the clear lines recorded the suns tracks through the sky over the 6-month period.
Combining art with science can produce some amazing results as this antiquarian skylight shows. Go out and make your own soda pop can pinhole camera and create a solargraph!

The principal purpose of this article is to develop some of the groundwork for the analysis of the post-1945 economic boom that was sketched out in International Review n°133 under the title "State capitalism and the war economy". In doing so, it also seems to us useful to examine briefly some of the objections to this analysis raised by other participants in the debate.
As the introductory remarks in International Review n°133 rightly point out, the importance of the debate goes well beyond the analysis of the post-war boom as such to more fundamental aspects of the marxist critique of political economy; it should in particular contribute to a better understanding of capitalist society's main driving forces. These driving forces determine both the extraordinary dynamism of capitalism's ascendant period which impelled it from its beginnings in the city-states of Italy and Flanders to the creation of the first planetary society, and the enormous destructiveness of capitalism's decadent period that has subjected humanity to two world wars whose barbarity would have made Genghis Khan blench, and which today threaten our species' very existence.
What underlies the dynamic expansionism of the capitalist economy?
the product of the exploited class' labour must necessarily take the form of commodities (commodity capital) which in turn means that the expropriation of surplus labour by the ruling class necessarily involves the sale of these commodities in the market.
To express this more simply through an example: the feudal lord took surplus produce from his serfs and used it directly to maintain his household estates. The capitalist takes surplus value from the workers in the form of commodities which are of no use to him as such, but which must be sold on the market to be transformed into money capital.
According to some theories, there is no problem: the process of capital accumulation and the normal operations of credit allow the capitalists to invest in another round of production which, being on a larger scale, absorbs the surplus value produced by the previous round and the whole process simply begins again.
For the majority of the ICC, this explanation is inadequate. After all, if capitalism can expand indefinitely on its own foundations without any problem, why was the capitalist class seized with the mania for foreign conquest? Why did the bourgeois not stay quietly at home and get on with expanding their capital without the risky, expensive, and violent business of constantly expanding their access to new markets? Luxemburg answers this question as follows in the Anti-Critique: "[There] have to be consumers who receive their means of purchase on the basis of commodity exchange, i.e. also production of goods, but taking place outside of capitalist commodity production. They must be producers, whose means of production are not to be seen as capital, and who belong to neither of the two classes - capitalists or workers - but who still have a need, one way or another, for capitalist commodities".
Until the publication of his latest article in International Review n°135, it seemed reasonable to suppose that comrade C.Mcl shared this basic view of capitalism's expansion in its ascendant phase. In this article, entitled "Origin dynamic and limits of Keynesian-Fordist state capitalism" the comrade seems to have changed his opinion on the subject. If nothing else this shows that ideas change in the process of debate - however it seems to us necessary to pause for a moment to consider some of the new ideas that he puts forward.
It has to be said that these ideas are not at first sight very clear. On the one hand C.Mcl tells us - and we would agree - that the extra-capitalist environment provided capital with a "series of opportunities" amongst other things for the sale of excess goods. On the other hand, however, C.Mcl tells us that these "external opportunities" were not only unnecessary, because capitalism is perfectly capable of developing its own "internal regulation", but that the external expansion of capitalism actually puts a brake on its development; if we understand comrade C.Mcl correctly, this is because the commodities sold in extra-capitalist markets cease to function as capital and do not therefore contribute to accumulation, whereas commodities sold within capitalism both allow the realisation of surplus value (through the conversion of commodity capital into money capital) but also themselves function as elements of accumulation, whether in the form of machines (means of production, constant capital) or as consumer goods (means of consumption for the working class, variable capital). To validate this idea, C.Mcl informs us that the non-colonialist capitalist countries experienced higher growth rates in the 19th century than the colonial powers.
This view seems to us profoundly mistaken both empirically and theoretically. It is an essentially static vision in which the extra-capitalist market is nothing but a sort of overflow pipe for the capitalist market when it gets too full.
The capitalists do not just sell to the extra-capitalist market they also buy from it. The ships that carried cheap consumer goods to the markets of India and China did not come back empty: they returned laden with tea, spices, cotton, and other raw materials. Until the 1860s the main source of cotton for the English textile industry was the slave economy of the American South. During the "cotton famine" caused by the Civil War replacement sources were found in India and Egypt.
In reality, "Within this process of circulation, in which industrial capital functions either as money or commodities, the circuit of industrial capital, whether as money-capital or commodity-capital, crosses the commodity circulation of the most diverse modes of social production, so far as they produce commodities. No matter whether commodities are the output of production based on slavery, of peasants (Chinese, Indian ryots), of communes (Dutch East Indies), of state enterprise (such as existed in former epochs of Russian history on the basis of serfdom) or of half-savage hunting tribes, etc. - as commodities and money they come face to face with the money and commodities in which industrial capital presents itself and enter as much into its circuit as into that of the surplus-value borne in the commodity-capital, provided the surplus-value is spent as revenue (...) The character of the process of production from which they originate is immaterial. They function as commodities in the market, and as commodities they enter into the circuit of industrial capital as well as into the circuit of the surplus-value incorporated in it".
As the ICC (following Marx and Luxemburg) has repeatedly pointed out, the problem of the extra-capitalist market is posed at the level of global and not individual or even national capital.
Colonisation is not the only form of expansion into extra-capitalist markets.
The history of the United States provides a particularly clear - and important given the rising role of the US economy during the 19th century - illustration of this point.
First of all, the absence of a US colonial empire during the 19th century was due, not to some kind of "independence" from an extra-capitalist environment, but to the fact that this environment was contained within the frontiers of the USA. We have already mentioned the slave economy of the American South. Following the latter's destruction in the Civil War (1861-65), capitalism expanded for the next thirty years across the American West in a continuous process which can be represented as follows: slaughter and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population; installation of an extra-capitalist economy through sales and grants of the newly acquired "government land" to homesteaders and small ranchers; extermination of this extra-capitalist economy through debt, fraud, and violence and the extension of the capitalist economy.
In 1890 the US Bureau of the Census officially declared the internal frontier closed. In 1893 a severe depression hit the US economy and during the 1890s the US bourgeoisie was increasingly preoccupied with the need to expand its national frontiers. In 1898 a State Department document explained: "It seems to be conceded that every year we shall be confronted with an increasing surplus of manufactured goods for sale in foreign markets if American operatives and artisans are to be kept employed the year around. The enlargement of foreign consumption of the products of our mills and workshops has, therefore, become a serious problem of statesmanship as well as of commerce". There followed a rapid imperialist expansion: Cuba (1898), Hawaii (also 1898), the Philippines (1899), the Panama Canal Zone (1903). In 1900 Albert Beveridge (a leading member of the US "imperialist interest") declared in the Senate: "The Philippines are ours forever (...) And just beyond the Philippines are China's illimitable markets (...) The Pacific is our ocean (...) Where shall we turn for consumers of our surplus? Geography answers the question. China is our natural customer...".
For Europeans, the imperialist frenzy at the end of the 19th century is often seen in terms of the "Dash for Africa". In many ways, however, the US conquest of the Philippines was of greater importance inasmuch as it symbolises the moment when European imperialist expansion eastwards met US expansion to the West. The first war of this new imperialist epoch was fought between Asian powers as Russia and Japan contended for control of Korea and access to Chinese markets. That war in turn was a key factor in the 20th century's first revolutionary uprising, in Russia in 1905.
What does this new "epoch of wars and revolutions" (as the Third International described it) imply for the organisation of the capitalist economy?
Put very schematically, it implies the inversion of the relationship between the economy and war: whereas in capitalism's ascendant period warfare is a function of economic expansion, in decadence on the contrary the economy is at the service of imperialist war. The capitalist economy in decadence is a permanent war economy.
This is the fundamental problem that underlies the whole development of the capitalist economy since 1914, and in particular the economy of the post-war boom that followed 1945.
Before we go on to examine the post-war boom from this perspective, it seems necessary to consider briefly some of the other positions present in the debate.
It is worth remembering that the ICC's pamphlet on Decadence... already attributes a role to the continued destruction of extra-capitalist markets in this period, and it is possible that we have underestimated their role during the post-war boom; indeed, the destruction of such markets (in the classic sense described by Luxemburg) continues to this day in the most dramatic forms, as we can see in the tens of thousands of recent suicides among Indian peasants, unable to repay the debts they contracted to buy seed grain and fertiliser from Monsanto and others.
the fact that all the Western economies were massively subsidising agriculture during the post-war boom: in these economies the peasant economy was a cost for capitalism rather than a market.
Here we are on much more solid ground. It is true that when compared to the astronomical levels that it has reached today after more than thirty years of crisis, the increase in debt during the post-war boom may seem trivial at first sight. Compared to what went before however, its rise was spectacular. In the USA, Gross Federal debt alone rose from $48.2 billion in 1938 to $483.9 billion in 1973, ie a ten-fold increase.
Real estate loans also rose, from $7 billion in 1947 to $70.5 billion in 1970 - a tenfold increase which largely understates the real situation since massive lending by the government at cheap rates and easy conditions meant that by 1955 the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration between them handled 41% of all mortgages.
For comrade C.Mcl, the prosperity of the post-war boom was due in large part to the fact that wages increased in line with productivity as part of a deliberate Keynesian policy designed to soak up excess capacity and allow a continued expansion of the market.
It is quite true, as Marx had already pointed out in Capital, that wages can rise without threatening profits as long as productivity is also rising. It is also true that mass production of consumer goods is impossible without mass consumption by the working class. And it is also true that there was a deliberate policy of raising workers' wages and living standards after World War II in order to ward off social revolt. None of this, however, solves the basic problem identified by both Marx and Luxemburg: that the working class cannot absorb the full value of what it produces.
The first, is that rising wages were guaranteed by indexing them to productivity; yet we can find no evidence for this as a general policy except in a few minor cases such as Belgium. To take just two counter-examples, the Italian scala mobile introduced in 1945 tied wages to inflation (a different matter altogether of course) and the "Social Contract" introduced by Wilson's Labour government in Britain at the end of the boom was a desperate attempt to reduce wages in a period of high inflation by indexing them to productivity.
The second is the assumption that Western capital did not seek to call on cheap foreign labour until the beginning of the period of "globalisation" in the 1980s. This is simply wrong: in the USA migration to the cities reduced the rural population from 24.4 million in 1945 to only 9.7 million in 1970. In Europe the phenomenon was even more spectacular: some 40 million people migrated from the countryside or from outside Europe to the major industrial areas.
World War II - even more than World War I - proved a striking demonstration of the fundamental irrationality of imperialist war in decadence. Far from paying for itself by the conquest of new markets, the war left both vanquished and victors ruined and exhausted. With one exception: the United States, the only belligerent to have suffered no destruction on its own territory. This exception laid the foundation for the equally exceptional - and so unrepeatable - post-war boom.
One of the main defects of the other positions present in this debate is that a) they tend to pose the problem in purely economic terms, and b) they consider only the post-war boom itself and so fail to see that this boom was determined by the situation created by the war.
What, then, was this situation?
Between 1939 and 1945, the US economy doubled in size. Mass production techniques were applied to existing industries (like shipbuilding). Whole new industries were created: mass production of aircraft, electronics and computing (the first computers were used to calculate ballistic trajectories), pharmaceuticals (with the discovery of penicillin), plastics - the list goes on and on. And although government debt peaked massively during the war, for the US bourgeoisie much of this development was pure capital accumulation as they bled the accumulated wealth of the British and French empires through arms orders.
Where to find outlets for the doubling of US industrial production that had taken place during the war?
How to uphold US national interests - now for the first time truly world wide - against the threat of Soviet expansionism?
How to avoid major social upheavals and the potential threat from the working class - no fraction of the world bourgeoisie had forgotten October 1917 - especially in Europe.
Understanding how the United States set about attempting to resolve these problems is the key to understanding the post-war boom - and its failure in the 1970s. This will have to wait for a future article, however it is worth pointing out that Rosa Luxemburg, writing before the full development of the state capitalist economy during the First, and above all the Second World War, had already given a brief indication of the economic effects of the militarization of the economy: "...the multitude of individual and insignificant demands for a whole range of commodities, which will become effective at different times and which might often be met just as well by simple commodity production, is now replaced by a comprehensive and homogeneous demand of the state. And the satisfaction of this demand presupposes a big industry of the highest order. It requires the most favourable conditions for the production of surplus value and for accumulation. In the form of government contracts for army supplies the scattered purchasing power of the consumers is concentrated in large quantities and, free of the vagaries and subjective fluctuations of personal consumption, it achieves an almost automatic regularity and rhythmic growth. Capital itself ultimately controls this automatic and rhythmic movement of militarist production through the legislature and a press whose function is to mould so-called ‘public opinion'. That is why this particular province of capitalist accumulation at first seems capable of infinite expansion. All other attempts to expand markets and set up operational bases for capital largely depend on historical, social and political factors beyond the control of capital, whereas production for militarism represents a province whose regular and progressive expansion seems primarily determined by capital itself.".
Less than fifty years after the Accumulation was written, the reality of imperialist militarism was described in the following terms: "[The] conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence - economic, political, even spiritual - is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government (...) we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
(...) Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government". These words were spoken in 1961, not by some left-wing intellectual, but by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 For reasons of space it is impossible to do justice to the whole period from 1945 to 1970. We propose therefore to go no further than to introduce an analysis of the foundations of the post-war boom which we hope to treat in more detail later.
 It is no accident that the first chapter of Capital is titled "Commodities".
 We are leaving aside for the moment the question of the cyclical crises through which this evolves historically.
 We will not repeat here what the ICC has already written on many occasions to support our view that for Marx and Engels - and for Luxemburg in particular among the marxists of the generation that followed - the problem of the inadequacy of the capitalist market is a fundamental difficulty standing in the way of the process of capital's enlarged accumulation.
 See in particular the article written by the same comrade in International Review n°127 where, under the sub-heading "Rosa's analysis identical to Marx" he demonstrates in a very clear and documented manner the continuity between Marx's analysis and that of Luxemburg.
 "(...) this environment continued to supply a whole series of opportunities throughout the ascendant period (1825-1914) as a source of profit, an outlet for the sale of commodities suffering from overproduction, and as an extra source of labour power".
 "During the 19th century, when colonial markets were most important, ALL the NON-colonial capitalist countries grew more rapidly than the colonial countries (71% more rapidly on average). This observation is valid throughout the history of capitalism. Sales outside pure capitalism certainly allow individual capitalists to realise their commodities, but they hinder the global accumulation of capitalism since, as with armament, they correspond to material means leaving the circuit of accumulation"
 Notably opium in China's case, the highly "virtuous" British bourgeoisie fighting two wars to force the Chinese government to continue to allow their population to poison themselves with British opium.
 Marx, Capital (Lawrence and Wishart), Book II "The process of circulation of capital", Part I, Chapter IV, "The circuit of commodity capital", p113.
 Schematically, if German industry (no colonies) outstrips British industry (with colonies) on the world market, and thus enjoys a higher growth rate, then German industry is also profiting from the extra-capitalist markets conquered by British imperialism.
 When the US stripped Mexico, by force and fraud, of California (1845-1847) and Texas (1836-1845), these states were not incorporated into an empire but into the national territory of the USA.
 For example, the "Oklahoma Land Rush" of 1889: the land run started at high noon on April 22, 1889, with an estimated 50,000 people lined up for their piece of the available two million acres (8,000 km²).
 The history of capitalism's development in the USA during the 19th century merits a series of articles in itself, and we do not have the space to go into it here. It is worth pointing out moreover that these mechanisms of capitalist expansion were not limited to the USA but - as we can see in Luxemburg's Introduction to Political Economy - were also present in Russia's expansion to the East and in the incorporation into the capitalist economy of China, Egypt, and Turkey, none of which were ever colonised.
 This preoccupation had already found expression in the Monroe Doctrine adopted in 1823 which clearly stated that the US considered the entire American continent, North and South, to be its exclusive sphere of interest - and the Monroe Doctrine was enforced by repeated US military intervention in Latin America.

 The conquest of the Philippines, whereby the US first evicted the Spanish colonial power and then conducted a ferocious war against the Filipino insurrectos, is a particularly revolting example of capitalist hypocrisy and barbarism.
 An example will help to illustrate this. In 1805, the industrial revolution was already well under way in Britain: both the use of steam power and mechanised textile production had been expanding rapidly since the 1770s. Yet in the same year, when the British destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at the battle of Trafalgar, Nelson's flagship HMS Victory was nearly fifty years old (the ship was built to designs drawn up in 1756 and finally launched in 1765). Compare this to the situation today where the most advanced technologies are dependent on the armaments industry.
 The Decadence... pamphlet - rightly in our view - associates this phenomenon with the increasing militarism of "Third World" countries.
 One could also cite the elimination of small tradesmen in the advanced economies by the spread of supermarkets and the mass marketing of the most ordinary household items (including of course, food), both phenomena which really got under way in the 1950s and 1960s.
 Stalin's forced collectivisation programme in the USSR during the 1930s, Chinese warlordism and civil war during the inter-war years, the conversion of peasant to market economies in countries like Romania, Norway, or Korea to meet German and Japanese imperialism's demands for food autonomy, the disastrous effects of the Depression on small farmers in the US (Oklahoma dust bowl), etc.
 Unless stated otherwise the figures and graphs are drawn from the US government statistics available on http://www.economagic.com. We are concentrating in this article on the US economy partly because its government statistics are more readily available, but above all because of the overwhelming weight of the US economy in the world economy during the period.
 James T Patterson, Grand Expectations, p72.
 Indeed, according to one study (http://cedar.barnard.columbia.edu/~econhist/papers/Hanes_sscale4.pdf) "sliding scale" wage agreements had already existed in certain industries in the USA and Britain from the mid-19th century right up to the 1930s, only to be abandoned after the war.
 Patterson, op.cit. This was "one of the most dramatic demographic shifts of modern American history".
 "In Italy, between 1955 and 1971, an estimated 9 million people moved from one region of their country to another (...) Seven million Italians left their country between 1945 and 1970. In the years 1950-1970 a quarter of the entire Greek labour force left to find work abroad (...) It is estimated that between 1961 and 1974, one and a half million Portuguese workers found jobs abroad - the greatest population movement in Portugal's history, leaving behind in Portugal itself a workforce of just 3.1 million (...) By 1973 in West Germany alone there were nearly half a million Italians, 535,000 Yugoslavs and 605,000 Turks" (Tony Judt, Postwar: a history of Europe since 1945, pp334-5).
 The United States accounted for something like 40% of world industrial production: in 1945 the United States alone produced half the world's coal, two-thirds of its oil, and half of its electricity. In addition, the USA held more than 80% of the world's gold reserves.
 Zinn (op.cit.) quotes a State Department official in 1944: "As you know, we've got to plan on enormously increased production in this country after the war, and the American domestic market can't absorb all that production indefinitely. There won't be any question about our needing greatly increased foreign markets".
 But also in the USA. According to Zinn, (op.cit., p417): "During the war there were fourteen thousand strikes [in the US], involving 6,770,000 workers, more than in any other comparable period in American history (...) When the war ended, the strikes continued in record numbers - three million on strike in the first half of 1946".

I'm sitting at my vintage secretary style desk from the late 1800s, sipping from a fall themed mug and writing.
I was able to get off work a little early to enjoy the crisp air and the golden late-afternoon sunlight. It is a sweet gift. Earlier in the kitchen, I played with my herbs. I think I'm on the brink of a new tea blend--a pinch of alfalfa, an even bigger pinch of chamomile, a smidge of fennel seeds, and two or three calendula buds. I let these healing herbs mingle in hot water and savor the earthy sweetness of the blend.
I love quiet moments in the kitchen, tinkering with a new soup recipe or tea blend or body butter. I love snuggling in my jammies and reading a good fantasy novel at night (yes, with a cup of tea). I love crafting and will literally coat just about anything in glitter if left unsupervised. I love carving out time in my day to relish these simple pleasures of self-care and domestic bliss--not an easy feat considering that a teacher's job can easily go on and on and on....if I let it.
But I don't. Why? Because I believe in the power of self-care and enjoyment to make the workday smoother, the weeks bursting with the fullness of living a balanced life. Yeah, it can be hard sometimes to carve out that time, but it's worth the effort.
I'm turning these thoughts over in my head as I reflect on the bounty of this year's harvest moon or the full, golden moon that hovers in this sky every autumn equinox. Legend has it that the harvest moon is a beacon of abundance for the coming year, symbolizing the plenty of both the literal farmer's harvest and the ephemeral harvest of spiritual well-being that comes from living a balanced life. It is the moon of transitional energy, shifting away from the outward moving cycles of summer towards the inward, more contemplative activities of fall and the coming winter.
This year's harvest moon is especially important to me, as it was under this prophetic moon that I made an important transition myself. Overworked, sick (first a cold, then allergies), I found myself completely spread thin between adjusting to my first full-time teaching job and attempting to keep my tutoring business afloat. I loved both jobs dearly, but somewhere between a bowl of chicken noodle soup and struggling to grade my first round of student essays, I realized something: these wonderful opportunities were beginning to feel like horrible burdens as I attempted to give 110% to both things, which is saying nothing of my desire to have an actual personal life.
It was clear something had to change. When I first moved back to New Mexico, it was so I could teach and live a full life in the Land of Enchantment. Yet here I was, living the frantic life of my graduate school years: too much work, too little self-care. When I was in school, I didn't always have a choice about my workload, but now, I realized, I did. So I made a change--I let my tutoring go. It was hard at first to give up something I had spent so much time and energy bringing into the world, but as the weeks went by, I felt better, was happier teaching, and found myself with more delicious moments when I could stare out at the Sandia Mountains and just breath. After all, so much of my philosophy as an educator is centered on helping students find that proper balance between school, life, and work...so I have to practice my creed if I want to continue being a nourishing educator and happy person.
I am grateful for this harvest moon and the wisdom it offered me as I made my transition: it taught me that to find that joyful abundance of our lives, we have to let go of things that no longer serve our sense of personal well-being. In doing so, we create space for healthier, more productive ways of going about our lives.
It isn't always easy to find balance in your life, but if you take the time to pause, even just to linger over the golden sunlight filtering through the slowly turning leaves, there is everyday wisdom and enjoyment to be found.

1. At what temperature does water become ice?
Answer: Zero degrees on the Celsius scale.

An ant has six legs, a spider has eight legs and a mouse has four legs.
In my zoo, I recently counted 612 legs which came from an equal number of each of these animals.
Can you identify how many animals there are in my zoo?
Hint: Remember that there are an equal number of each animal.
Answer: 102 animals: 34 of each.
As there are the same number of each animal, for every ant, spider and mouse we have 18 legs.
612 ÷ 18 = 34 of each animal.
Which gives a total of 34 x 3 = 102 animals.

The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?

Did You Recognise These Game Of Thrones & Downton Abbey Connections In Godless?
Most of the time, while watching Godless, I was cringing at the elongated scenes of gun violence. The rest of the time, I was focusing on the nagging itch somewhere somewhere in my pop culture memory. I knew I recognised Whitey Winn, the sheriff's overeager deputy, from one of his past roles. Yet his dust-covered, gun-slinging appearance was too far off from his past work for me to fit two and two together.
Eventually, I did the adult thing: Admitted defeat and went on IMDb. I fell into a bout of self-loathing when I found the answer, which was far too obvious. Of course Whitey Winn was played by the one and only Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who also played the lovesick elementary schooler from Love Actually — and had a few other notable roles.
Godless has a sprawling and impressive cast. While some of the show's stars, like Samuel Marty (Truckee) are total newcomers, many have been acting for decades. Get ready to find out just why Frank Griffin's face is so, so familiar.

This is a tragic story of a small girl, hailing from a small village in India. The everyday tussle to mend the needs of her family, did not stop her from dreaming a magnanimous life. She had vibrant dreams of getting crowned with the titles of beauty pageants of the world. Many mocked at her when she expressed her dream to them. Some even dampened, by commenting about her murky skin color and ignored the sharp and attractive features.
However, no societal snag could deter her from painting colorful dreams of life. After a lot of struggle, she cleared the state and national level selection of the beauty pageant. One step away to enter into the global beauty pageant competition, her name was removed from the international selection list, for the obvious political reasons and bias towards the skin color. The true colors of the beauty pageant competition besieged, which thronged her from within.
Appreciating beauty is innate quality in every human. So it is not surprising why the history of beauty pageants is traced down to the antiquity of time. Beauty pageants were a source of entertainment in the olden days. The jury included the great minds of the city like warriors, public speakers, philosophers, poets, actors and sculptors. It was in 1854 when the first beauty pageant in America was carried on, but this was closed down due to public protests. It was in 1880s when the modern beauty pageants were started. Since then, Beauty Pageants have come a long, every year crowning someone as the Miss World and Miss Universe. Only one can be eligible for the title. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the sway of the beauty pageants is long lasting on all the contenders. The invisible and unfamed colors of the beauty pageants, remain colorful long after the culmination of the ceremony.
Beauty pageants have some seriously long lasting impact, not just on the winners, but on all the participants of the competition. The behind the scenes of the competition is completely opposite than the on-screen scene. The skinny contestants who glide across the stage, are warily and meticulously crooked about the perfect teeth, perfect skin, and perfect bodies; and are contrived to pose in different angles in front of the jury, regardless of their comfortability. An inch more or a little dusky tone, along with off screen abusive remarks, lead to depression and low self-esteem in the participants.
Many people advocate beauty pageants, as a platform to showcase the talent and a stage to imbibe the confidence, to face challenges of the world. Nonetheless, the rule book of beauty pageants, which includes the specific sizes and magnitude the body segments portraits as a well-organized racist episode. Such criteria’s makes the participant, interrogate the inherited features of an individual’s personality. The most awful facet is the price tags attached to her body parts and not for innate qualities, remarking it to be the apogee of the womanhood. The tantrums and meltdowns of the cutthroat competition are well scripted and choreographed.
Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss Continent, etc., are the titles, judged and crowned based on the external beauty. The inner talent and beauty such as academic achievement, empathy, social skills, athletic pursuits, etc., takes a backseat in the world of pageants. The actual colors of the abusive journey in the formative years, implants the abiding fear towards life. With so much of bruises by the bluster beauty pageants, I question the requisite of shepherding such events, locally or globally.

This week, Congress finally acted to bring the U.S. Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) to its full strength and enable it to begin its critical mission. With the confirmation Tuesday of David Medine as chair of the PCLOB, Medine and his distinguished bipartisan group of colleagues will finally be able to begin their work in earnest.
The PCLOB is a vital guardian of Americans’ privacy rights and civil liberties. As an independent voice for privacy and civil liberties, it will oversee executive branch activities with civil liberties implications, including intelligence, counter-terrorism and law enforcement activities. The PCLOB will also offer guidance to the president and federal agencies on ways to ensure that counterterrorism practices respect basic constitutional protections principles.
As government’s ability to collect, analyze and retain data about millions of citizens grows, there are more and more circumstances in which the PCLOB will serve as the ONLY independent oversight body (aside from Congress). Privacy professionals who work primarily in the commercial arena may be inclined to pay scant attention to the PCLOB on the theory that it is only about government surveillance. While this is true, we can expect the PCLOB to be one of the first expert bodies to give careful consideration to a new class of Big Data capabilities that offer the ability to discover sensitive information about individuals.
Consider the new authority given to the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) last year by the Attorney General. In the name of helping NCTC track terrorist threats, this intelligence organization will be able to request large volumes of data held by civilian agencies, combine it with other data sets and hold it for up to five years. More significant than the retention period is the fact that NCTC now has unprecedented ability to integrate large amounts of data from multiple sources and analyze it for multiple purposes.
The Attorney General has instructed NCTC to put in place audit controls to guard against misuse. NCTC’s new authority certainly poses exciting challenges for the privacy professionals responsible for internal compliance, and I have no doubt they will take their jobs seriously. However, when it comes to protection of civil liberties, we have always expected that ultimate oversight and accountability should be handled by the independent judiciary. In the case of new NCTC authorities, it is hard to imagine how a court would ever come to review NCTC privacy practices. Traditionally, courts have oversight over law enforcement civil liberties practices when an individual charged with a crime challenges the evidence used in court. Then, applying the Fourth Amendment and relevant statutes, the court can examine whether the government respected the defendant’s civil liberties. However, data used for counterterrorism investigation may well never be subject to the scrutiny of a court. Our aim with respect to terrorism is as much to detect and deter terror plots, as to bring terrorists to justice in U.S. courts.
Many of the analytic results from the massive NCTC database will never appear before a court, so what will be the source of independent oversight? How will the American people be satisfied that the internal controls put in place are working?
The new PCLOB is in a unique position to examine the internal and classified activities of NCTC and other intelligence agencies to make sure that they are complying with relevant rules. And more likely than not, the PCLOB may discover that existing laws are not quite up to the challenge posed by powerful new data analytic tools. All of us who care about civil liberties should certainly be watching carefully. And more broadly, as the PCLOB comes face-to-face with some of the more challenging questions of how to monitor privacy practices in new Big Data environments, the entire privacy community ought to be paying attention.

The theme 'Journey to Work' was chosen as a starting point for this commission because it was something common to all staff. Dominic worked with staff from the Speech and Language Therapy, Laser Clinic and Medical Photography departments capturing on film favourite views they encountered on their way to work.
The six photographs can be found on Level 3 of the new build within the three departments Dominic worked with. The images in the Speech and Language Therapy department are accompanied by short poems written by patients during workshops with poet-in-residence Rose Flint.

How long (approximately) is twilight on the Moon?
Answer: 0 seconds. There is no twilight on the Moon! The reason for this is that the Moon does not have any atmosphere. The reason there is something called twilight on Earth is because of light from the Sun that is refracted through the atmosphere. This is the reason why we see red sunsets (because near sunset, the blue light is scattered off dust in the atmosphere and only the red light reaches us), and blue skies (scattering of blue light off dust). In Moon, you will have a black sky and a bright Sun during day time. The Sun will set in the same manner as any star on Earth during night, and once the Sun sets, it will be night on the Moon. There will not be any twilight.

What are people dying from?
Answer: well, people die from many things!
Are to many people dying now?
Why do people lie about dying when there really not?
Answer: It is unfortunate that people would do this but for some reasons they have of their own they do. Attention, lonliness, jealousy and possibly even control issues over the individual(s) the person have told.

It would seem that our natural anger response is designed to get the stick to stop hitting us. But we identify the cause of the pain as the person who is wielding the stick. That’s natural enough, because we see both the thing hurting us and the thing that makes it move as the causes of our pain. It takes a more sophisticated logic to see the root cause of our pain as the anger in the person who uses this stick to harm us. To make this leap, we need to be able to see people not just as things, but as changeable beings who behave as the result of inner conditions. If those conditions can change, the behavior will change. He who appears to be our enemy today could be our friend tomorrow were conditions to change.
Be mindful of the irritations you encounter. For 10 minutes or so as you go about your daily routine, just observe the times when something stimulates frustration, anger or irritation. As these occur, practice non-judgment. Notice the emotions that arise and cultivate acceptance of conditions that are not as you would prefer them. In some cases your observation may motivate you to change a condition, in others your choice may be to merely tolerate what you chose not to change or don’t have the power to change.
When you notice your anger at another person, consider whether you are responding to them as if they were a thing that is directly harming you. See if you can shift your awareness to the cause of their behavior. Are they acting out of fear, for instance? Include in your awareness the recognition that there are conditions in that person’s life that have given rise to their emotions and the behavior that flows from those emotions.
