For assistance, please send e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Type 508 Accommodation and the title of the report in the subject line of e-mail.   Data for this analysis were obtained from interviews with 8450 women* 15-44 years of age who participated in the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) conducted by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) in 1988. The women were part of a subsample from a nationally representative sample of households interviewed in the National Health Interview Survey of 1986 (NCHS, unpublished data). The NSFG provided specific information on age and marital status of participants at first sexual intercourse, as well as detailed information on other factors, such as childbearing experiences, use of family-planning services, and knowledge of and experience with STDs. Proportions were calculated for adolescent women in each year of age from 15 through 19 who reported having had premarital sexual intercourse by March 1 in 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, and 1988.** For all ages combined for each of these periods, the proportion of adolescent women who reported having had premarital sexual intercourse increased steadily (from 28.6% in 1970 to 51.5% in 1988 (Table 1)). For each 5-year period from 1970 to 1985, the amount of increase declined (i.e., during 1970-1975, 7.8 percentage points; during 1976-1980, 5.6; and during 1981-1985, 2.1). However, from 1985 through 1988, the proportion increased 7.4 points, or approximately one third of the increase in premarital sexual experience among adolescent women for the entire period 1970-1988. This trend persisted even after adjustment for the influence of changing age composition by comparing age-adjusted proportions. For each year of age during 1970-1988, the proportion of adolescent women who reported having had premarital sexual intercourse increased at least 55% (Table 1). The largest relative increase occurred among those 15 years of age (from 4.6% in 1970 to 25.6% in 1988). The cumulative absolute effect of these changes was greatest among women 18 and 19 years of age. Although the proportion of black adolescents who reported having had premarital sexual intercourse was consistently higher than the proportion of white adolescents who reported having had premarital intercourse, the difference narrowed substantially over time because of a greater relative increase among white adolescents (24 percentage points among whites compared with 13 percentage points among blacks) (Figure 1). For white adolescents, this represents an increase in the number of sexually experienced females from 2.2 million in 1970 to 3.7 million in 1988, and for black adolescents, from 0.6 million to 0.8 million.  Among 15- to 24-year-olds who initiated sexual intercourse before age 18, 75% reported having had two or more partners, and 45% reported having had four or more partners; among those who became sexually active after age 19, 20% reported having had more than one partner, and 1%, four or more partners. Among women aged 15-24 years who had been sexually active for the same length of time ( less than 24 months), 45% of 15- to 17-year-olds reported having had two or more partners, compared with 40% of 18- to 19-year-olds and 26% of those greater than or equal to 20 years of age. Reported by: Family Growth Survey Br, Div of Vital Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics; Div of STD/HIV Prevention, Center for Prevention Svcs, CDC. Editorial NoteEditorial Note: The NSFG data show that the proportion of adolescent women who reported having had premarital sexual intercourse increased through the 1970s and 1980s, and first sexual experiences occurred at younger ages. Among the 9 million adolescent women in 1988, almost 4.9 million (52%) may have had premarital sexual intercourse. Information on the premarital sexual experience of adolescent women in the United States was first provided in a series of National Surveys of Young Women (NSYW) conducted in 1971, 1976, and 1979 (1). Based on these studies, the proportion of adolescent women in metropolitan settings experiencing premarital sexual intercourse increased from 30% in 1971 to 50% by 1979. This trend was confirmed by the 1982 NSFG, although the increase was less pronounced (1). The NSFG estimates for 1976 and 1979 were lower than those from the NSYW studies, but the differences were not statistically significant. Increased sexual activity among adolescents has several health consequences. For several reasons, adolescents are at higher risk for sexually transmitted infection than are persons in other age groups (2). Compared with older age groups, adolescents have higher rates of gonorrheal and chlamydial infections (3) (Chlamydia trachomatis causes more lower genital tract infections among teenagers than does gonorrhea (4)). In addition, by their late teens, about 4% of whites and 17% of blacks have been infected with herpes virus type 2 (5). The consequences of these infections are most severe later in life. If untreated, gonorrheal and chlamydial infections of the cervix may progress to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); acute PID increases risk for recurrent PID, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. Each year, greater than 1 million U.S. women experience an episode of PID, with 16%-20% of cases occurring among teenagers (3,5,6).  In a prospective evaluation of the risk for cervical cancer after cytologic evidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, women less than 25 years of age had increased risk of progression (8). The association between early age of sexual intercourse and greater numbers of both recent and lifetime sex partners represents a behavioral link to higher levels of STDs. Females and males who have multiple sex partners over a specified period (e.g., several months) are at increased risk for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and chancroid (9). Increased numbers of sex partners over a lifetime is associated with a greater cumulative risk for acquiring viral infections such as hepatitis B, genital herpes, HPV, and human immunodeficiency virus (9). Efforts to prevent the adverse health outcomes of sexual activity in adolescents should include 1) innovations for early detection and treatment of STDs among teenagers, 2) specialized training for clinicians providing health services for adolescents, 3) school education coupled with accessible clinical services, and 4) behavioral interventions to prevent exposure to and acquisition of sexually transmitted infections.

** Because some women in each age group will have premarital sexual intercourse for the first time after March 1 but before reaching their next birthday, the proportions do not represent true age-specific rates. However, time comparisons are valid because the proportions are similarly computed for each comparison year.

I am a San Francisco State University alumna with a B.S. in Computer Science. My goal is to take part in the booming tech industry that is happening in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Seeing as I am located in the heart of the tech industry, my current goal is to become as involved as I can in the this field. Growing up and seeing the positive impact that technology can have throughout a city and an entire region, I know that by being a part of this industry, I too can bring this positive change to communities similar to my own in that most of the residents experience many setbacks when it comes to access to technology.

Woman inspired by random act of kindness hidden in Teso bag
She said she was "shocked" by the inspiring gesture
by Olivia TobinA mysterious note left in a Tesco handbag has stunned a shopper after she discovered the random act of kindness.
Clare Smith said she had visited her local branch of Tesco, in Hucknall, and said she was left "shocked" at what she found inside.
The 42-year-old said: "I went to the store on Thursday and picked out the handbag which was the only one, and it was right at the back of a rack.
"I'd been looking for a new bag and not seen one I liked but this one stood out.
"When I got it home, I was removing the packaging and putting my belongings in, and in a zipped pocket was an envelope.
"Inside was the note and the money. It really shocked me."
The note said, "all your dreams are possible, go for it, have faith in yourself," accompanied by a £5 note, Nottinghamshire Live reported.
Clare, who works in private cleaning, said she is deciding how she can use the money for a positive cause.
"It really wasn't the money that got me though, but more the note. I've got it pinned up now.
"I want to do something of a similar with the £5 rather than spend it.
"I'd love to know who it was - I've since been told similar things have happened before in Hucknall. It's such a nice thing to do.
"It really perked my day up and I'd like to do the same for someone else."
Hucknall Extra store manager Sam Johnson said: "This is a lovely gesture from someone spreading kindness and we’re really happy they brightened Clare’s day."

From: Jason Bishop<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Date: March 30, 2020 at 3:22:47 PM EDT To: George Sanchez<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>Subject: RE: Faculty Broadcast
Dear George,
Thanks so much for all that you've been doing, and for soliciting concerns from your fellow faculty. The work of the union and its CSI Chapter have been a huge source of sanity and stability during this crisis, and you all should know how much many of us appreciate your leadership right now. Faculty at CSI are really fortunate.
Here's one thing people are going to want some clarity about from administrative leadership at CUNY, and CSI... and soon. What happens if things are not back to normal in fall? This scenario is far too likely for us to not even have a sketch of a financial plan.
In particular, if we're still at reduced capacities/online instruction in fall, enrollment is sure to take a hit. Even with programs like TAP and Excelsior, many would-be freshman will likely not see this as a great time to start college, and under such conditions, at least some already-hard-to-keep-enrolled current students are sure to sit the semester or year out. If that happens, tuition revenue will be decimated–-and thanks to the mismanagement that you know all too well about, the College of Staten Island is already in dire financial straits like never, ever before.
If things are not back to "normal" in September, and there's a good chance they won't be, higher education across the country is going to change for the worse. If tuition revenue gets cut in half at institutions across the country, here's what probably happens:
Rich institutions with endowments, both private and public: they'll mostly be fine
Small private institutions with no endowments: they'll be crushed, some likely even closing
Small, underfunded public institutions with no endowments like CSI: ??????
What happens to places like CSI and other outer-borough CUNY campuses is going to depend a lot on the State, but that's a very scary proposition. Hopefully initiatives like the tax-the-ulta-rich one that our union is promoting will be successful. But that's our plan–what's our administration's plan, should we receive insufficient federal and state support?
Our administrative leadership needs to let us know exactly how they intend to get us through a 2020-2021 academic year in a worse-case financial scenario. If the plans are bad or non-existent, we all need to know that as soon as possible, not in July or August or later.
With each short-term financial crisis in recent US history, public education–-and faculty's role in governing public education–-has seen long-term damage. We need to be vigilant that this crisis does have a similar outcome.
In solidarity,
Jason Bishop Assistant Professor College of Staten Island
To the CSI Community,
I hope this finds everyone safe and healthy!
First, I want to extend my full admiration and respect for all the work full-time and part-time faculty have been doing for transitioning to distance learning! This was/is no easy task and the call to do so happened so suddenly, but due to everyone’s support and understanding of our students’ needs, it is astonishing and commendable how seamless you have made this transition. Thank you all so much for your dedication!
Secondly, I want to reach out and ask if you can please email any questions or concerns you have moving forward with anything having to with your positions. Workplace safety, health considerations, tenure and promotion, online or distance learning and workload? The chapter had a labor-management meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, that was postponed for obvious reasons. But as we await a new date, we are hoping to schedule this meeting sooner than later, and please forward me any questions or concerns you may have. The chapter is acutely concerned with numerous labor and workplace safety issues and we look forward to meeting with President Fritz soon.
The chapter was on the front line advocating for people to work remotely and to close the library from the beginning of this pandemic. We will continue to support, advocate and protect all our members and students as we move forward through this crisis. As stated before, we are ALL in this together!

FILM TITLE: STAGE DOOR ( HU DU MEN ) DIRECTOR: SHU KEI COUNTRY: HONG KONG 1996 MUSIC: OTOMO YOSHIDE CAST: Josephine Siao Fong-fong, Anita Yuen Wing-yee, Chung King-fai, David Wu Tai-wai, Waise Lee Chi-hung SUPER FEATURES: Great story and funny stuff through out
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh, this film is about so many things at the same time that it is a wonder that it comes around to an end, that is satisfying and helps define the film is important and valuable. If this sounds like too much, then the film is full of stuff that is very enjoyable and truly nuts ... and one could hardly expect for more in a film.
Story.... let's see, where do we start. It has to do with a Cantonese Opera singer that has become a star. But for her to get there she has needed to get various bits and pieces of help for her to be able to do her work. And she plays men's roles in the opera.
In the middle of it all we find out that she has had to let go a child, which her sister has raised, so she could concentrate on the stage. The title is a word in Cantonese Opera that refers to the invisible line that actors cross between real life and acting. And this film makes sure that it does not mix the two for a moment, but towards the end, it is obvious to us, not the opera's audience, that this line has been crossed, although it is crossed in a nice way, rather than one that hurts a performance, or hurts the personal life that each character has.
In between are the craziest of actors and people speaking at the same time, and always on an edge.
We really do not find out very much about the characters, except the lead one, and the past. Like there are hints that the real father of the child that she has is actually an actor in the troupe who is now gay. And on top of it all, the family situation at home is getting desperate.. the husband is losing his business and the daughter is becoming very gay. For the character of Lang Kim-sum this is not a problem, since she has been around this stuff for years. But for her husband, this is a terrible predicament.... until it all crumbles in the end for him, when he finally becomes a nice man.
The really nice thing about this film is that it is hard and harsh and heavy, but it is also a lot of fun. Lang Kim-sum has her share of problems, but she always manages well ( with great expression a la J. Maguire ) to sidestep the problem and come up with a solution. And if this mess is not enough, the suitor to the girl that is being forced into her troupe happens to be her son, which she can not tell him, or admit to anyone else. Only her sister, who brought the boy up knows it.
Well, if you are into fun films that are crazy, really do not wish to be saying very much on its own, then this film is for you. The film speaks bundles, but it is all in the undertones, and in the style with which it is handled. We know there are problems, but somehow things work out and "the show goes on". This film follows that saying truthfully, and magnificently.
Excellent performance by Josephine Siao, as the lead, in what is really a very difficult role to balance out without being melodramatic or trying to be funny. She manages it excellently well.
Beautifully arranged and directed.

coqos_mod(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit coqos_mod(1) NAME coqos_mod - Suspend or resume a managed data stream SYNOPSIS coqos_mod [options] action cid [device] [...] DESCRIPTION This page is under construction. Suspend or resume a stream through the bandwidth manager using an Atheros vendor specific VS_MOD_CONN message. This is the proper way to stop a stream flowing if the data rate exceeds the available bandwidth. Use program coqos_man to set stream bandwidth. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the plc man page for an overview and installation instructions. OPTIONS -e Redirects stderr messages to stdout. By convention status and error messages are printed on stderr while primary program output is printed on stdout. This option prints all output on stdout in cases where this is desired. -i interface Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this host interface and only reponses received via this host interface are recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use eth0 as their principle network connection; however, if environment string "PLC" is defined then it takes precedence over the default interface. This option then takes precedence over either default. -q Suppresses status messages on stderr. -r Display relative memory offsets on output. This option is the default. -v Prints additional information on stdout. In particular, this option dumps outgoing Ethernet packets on stdout. -?,--help Displays program help information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the command line except version information. -!,--version Displays program version information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the com‐ mand line except help information. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros technical staff. ARGUMENTS action A symbol indicating the action to be performed on the stream identified by argument cid. Valid actions are "sus‐ pend" and "resume". See ACTIONS for an explanation of each action. cid A connection identifier. (Charlie, expand on this.) Connection ID. 2 byte number to identify the stream to delete. Byte 0 is the OrigTEI and byte one is the LLID-F. device The MAC address of some powerline device. More than one address may be specified on the command line. If more than one address is specified then operations are performed on each device in turn. The default address is "local". See DEVICES for more information. ACTIONS suspend Suspend the identified stream. See argument cid for more information. resume Resume the identified stream. See argument cid for more information. DEVICES Ethernet MAC addresses are expressed as six hexadecimal octets optionally separated by colon. For example, the Qualcomm Atheros Local Management Address (LMA) of "00b052000001" may also be entered as "00:b0:52:00:00:01" or "00b052:000001". Addresses are case insensitive and quotes are optional. In addition, some special addresses may be entered by name rather than number where names are case sensitive. all A synonym for the "broadcast" address, described next. broadcast A synonym for the Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or foreign will respond to this address. local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros. Ethernet MAC addresses are six hexadecimal octets optionally separated by colon. For example, the addresses "00b052000001", "00:b0:52:00:00:01" and "00b052:000001" are all valid and equivalent. Certain Ethernet device addresses are spe‐ cial and may be entered by name rather than number. all A synonym for "broadcast", described next. broadcast A synonym for the standard Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or foreign will respond to this address. local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros. REFERENCES See the Qualcomm Atheros HomePlug AV Firmware Technical Reference Manual for more information.

WATCH: Vlogger tells fellow Indians not to buy into govt, media narrative about Pakistan
by News DeskIndian video blogger Manisha has heaped praise on Pakistan after her visit to the Kartarpur Corridor and called on the public to “use their own mind when it comes to Pakistan”.
Although she had to cross the border without her Kiwi husband Karl Rock, who is a renowned YouTuber with more than 80 million subscribers, she made a visually delightful piece accompanied by earnest commentary.
“Pakistani people are really really nice… Don’t listen to what the Indian media or politicians say.”
Manisha began shooting after reaching the revered site of the Sikh faith.
She also briefed the Sikh Yatrees coming to the site from India of the procedure of entering the country.
Speaking on the 20 dollars charged by the Pakistani government, she expressed her satisfaction saying, “The government has taken the move to make things easy for Sikhs and New Delhi must not criticise it.”
“It feels so good to be here but I feel sad that I have to leave now…after visiting Kartarpur I need to go to other cities of Pakistan such as Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad,” she added.
In a landmark peace move Islamabad opened the Kartarpur Corridor on November 6.
Followers of Guru Nanak are now allowing to visit the revered Sikh Guru’s final resting place without a visa.
The 3-kilometer corridor provides visa-free access to Sikh pilgrims, allowing them to travel to Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, where Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, spent the final years of his life. The passage links Narowal district to Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur in Punjab, India.
The project, touted by many as the ‘corridor of peace’ between the two arch-rivals, was completed in a record period of eleven months by Islamabad.

Here you can see live example of WaitRotator by Lexey111 (blog article) and try the different classes combinations.
Let's click buttons on the right side panel and we'll see what happens. Feel free to try.
Layout:
All the magic is concentrated in the wait-rotator.css file, that are compiled from .less file.
This is header of LESS file where all the constants are defined.
wait-rotator.less:
/** * Wait rotator * (c) lexey111, 2013 * * http://lexey111.com */ // size constants @wait_rotator_standard_circle_size: 32px; @wait_rotator_little_circle_size: 16px; @wait_rotator_big_circle_size: 48px; @wait_rotator_giant_circle_size: 120px; @wait_rotator_standard_thickness: 1px; @wait_rotator_thick: 2px; @wait_rotator_thickest: 4px; // speed @wait_rotator_standard_cycle_length: 1s; @wait_rotator_slow_cycle_length: 2s; @wait_rotator_fast_cycle_length: .5s; // colors @wait_rotator_color_top: #0077b3; @wait_rotator_color_right: #3ecd45; @wait_rotator_color_bottom: #ffa436; @wait_rotator_color_left: #953b39; @wait_rotator_grayscale_color_top: #555; @wait_rotator_grayscale_color_right: #777; @wait_rotator_grayscale_color_bottom: #999; @wait_rotator_grayscale_color_left: #bbb; @wait_rotator_monochrome: #444; // fullscreen wait layer styles @wait-message-width: 250px; @wait-message-height: 80px; @wait-circle-size: 32px; ...
If you need a full-screen lock: click here to show wait layer for 5 second.
You can call function showWait(duration, ms) to show wait layer for required period of time.
If you call showWait() without duration parameter the layer will be shown for infinite time. You have to call waitHide() function explicitly, e.g. after end of AJAX call.
Layout (add this just before  and don't forget to attach wait-rotator.css):

 Please wait...

Two simple JS functions to show the wait layer and to hide it.
JavaScript support code (vanilla, you can use jQuery instead):
/** * Show fullscreen wait layer * @param {Number} duration in ms - optional */ var wait_layer = document.getElementById("wait-rotator-fullscreen"); var wait_timer; function showWait(duration) { // show the wait layer wait_layer.style.display = "block"; wait_layer.style.opacity = 1; // start new countdown if any clearTimeout(wait_timer); // check is wait duration set at all... if ((typeof duration != "undefined") && (!isNaN(parseInt(duration)) && isFinite(duration))) { // yes - well, let's start countdown timer wait_timer = setTimeout(function () { hideWait(); }, duration); } } /** * Hide wait layer (fadeOut) */ function hideWait() { wait_layer.style.opacity = 1; (function fade() { if ((wait_layer.style.opacity -= .2) <= .2) { wait_layer.style.display = "none"; } else { setTimeout(fade, 40); } })(); }
And use example —
Code to call full-screen wait layer onClick (vanilla):
// assign call for full-screen wait layer (5 second) // when user click on the demo link document.getElementById("fullscreen-wait").onclick = function (e) { e.preventDefault(); showWait(5000); return false; };
You can download all the source code from Github.

System Configuration APIs are used to put the module to a desired power state as specified by the power spread sheet. It abstracts the programming of PRCM registers to enable/disable or auto clock gate a given module. Many modules can be programmed in one go by providing the list of modules and their desired power state.
The system configuration does not take care of dependencies between modules and it is the user’s responsibility to maintain the right dependency order to switch off a given module vs another.

Ground Control to Major Bob – The Bob Zmuda Interview By Christopher Null
`Andy Kaufman asked me on his deathbed to do two things,' says Bob Zmuda. `One was to write a book about him, the other was to produce a movie about him. He was scared of being remembered as Latka on Taxi. That scared him worse than death.'
So Zmuda wrote the book (Andy Kaufman Revealed! Best Friend Tells All). Now prepare for Andy Kaufman: The Movie, also known as Man on the Moon, which opens December 22.
So who is Bob Zmuda? When you see the film, you'll understand. He was Andy Kaufman's best friend and writing partner (played expertly by Paul Giamatti in the film). He was Employee #2 in a quiet partnership that got its jollies from playing tricks on an unsuspecting public. He was Tony Clifton (q.v.) from time to time. And after Kaufman's death, he was the creator of the Comic Relief specials, which have raised millions of dollars for the homeless.
On a recent press tour in San Francisco, Zmuda talked about the film, the book, and how Jim Carrey just about lost it trying to get inside the head of the most eccentric comedian the world has ever known.
Zmuda says, `Jim said he would never again approach a role like this. Jim Carrey is the biggest Andy Kaufman freak in the world. If he wasn't Jim Carrey, he could travel the country lecturing on Kaufmanism. He fought to get this role. He was born to play this role.'
Zmuda continues, discussing Carrey's preparation to play Andy Kaufman. `Jim said, ‘How would Andy Kaufman approach this role?' Jim approached the role just as Andy would have. We shot for 85 days. Jim was only there for 2. The rest of the time he was Andy or Tony.'
Who's Tony? As the film explains, Tony Clifton was the anti-Andy. Kaufman, a die-hard Transcendental Meditation guru, health food nut, and all-around purist, had a dark side. That dark side was Tony Clifton, a rotten Vegas lounge singer that looked nothing like Kaufman and fooled people for years. Clifton would smoke, drink, and whore with the best of them, and that was just the beginning of the ruse. The only problem, of course, is that the guy didn't really exist. Says Zmuda, `Andy's contract with Paramount said that Tony Clifton had to have a parking space next to Kaufman's with his name on it, and he had to have his own dressing room.'
As it turns out, Tony was quite the character, and the personality had a serious affect on Carrey, too. `One day we were shooting half Tony Clifton, half Andy. Next thing we knew, Andy showed up on the set with a bloody nose, saying he had passed Tony Clifton and Tony punched him out. I don't know if it was real blood, but a real medic was brought in.'
It's hard to imagine anyone but Carrey in this role, but there was a time when Carrey didn't have it locked down. `Everyone wanted to play Kaufman. I was not a believer in the beginning. I thought Nicolas Cage looked more like Andy Kaufman. This was even before The Truman Show. Carrey calls me one day and says, Bob, will you come over and see my audition tape for Milos [Forman, the director]?  The tape's not on a minute, and I'm crying like a baby. It was remarkable. He had the role. There was just something about him.'
And what about the name of the film, Man on the Moon, which is taken from the R.E.M. song of the same name? I had heard rumors that one of Kaufman's hoaxes was that he thought the moon landing had been faked, but apparently that's not so. Zmuda explains the name, `R.E.M. were saddened when Andy died. But that whole thing, ‘Is there a man on the moon?' means… is there a card up my sleeve?' Nothing more, apparently.
Still, Zmuda says, `The hoax and the practical joke are lost art forms.' But did Andy Kaufman pull one last stunt on his deathbed at age 35? No, says Zmuda. `Andy Kaufman is dead. He's not in some truck stop with Elvis.' While Kaufman tinkered with the idea, tells Zmuda, he never brought it up again. `The only thing that is odd is page 112 of The Tony Clifton Story, a screenplay that Andy and I wrote, that was never made. On page 112, Tony dies of lung cancer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Andy Kaufman would die of lung cancer at Cedars-Sinai eight years later. Pretty odd stuff.'
But Zmuda does admit, `Had Andy Kaufman lived, he would have faked his death.'
And what of that grand last scene, which hints at Kaufman's return? Zmuda describes an encounter with a woman who was begging to know. `'What does it mean? What does it mean?' Look, it's the monolith in 2001. It's just there. We don't know. And if you have to ask, you really don't get it.'
We got it, Bob. --- Christopher Null -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>- http://www.filmcritic.com Check out the G-Rex Personal Shopper at http://www.g-rex.com

My name is Kelvin and I am currently a master's student at the University of Toronto pursuing research in the fields of organ-on-a-chip, bio-printing, and tissue engineering. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Waterloo in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on mechanical design and robotics. Please feel free to browse my disparate collection of projects, all connected through the theme of questioning the standard.
My master's research at the Guenther lab at the University of Toronto focuses on applying concepts in mechanical engineering and microfluidics for applications in tissue engineering and organ-on-a-chip. My project focuses on using collagen tubular scaffolds for (a)bio-printing functional tissue, (b)hosting tissue in organ-on-a-chip devices for disease diagnosis, and (c)Utilizing collagen tubular structures as biological flow control devices. This work will not be shown in this portfolio.
Instead, I will showcase smaller projects related to microfluidics and its potential applications in the culinary arts. In our lab, there is an emphasis towards moving away from PDMS microfluidic devices due to its susceptibility to molecule absorption and its difficult translation to commercialization. A couple of these projects will demonstrate different techniques to create thermoplastic microfluidic devices.
Molecular gastronomy is where food meets science to flip traditional culinary practices. With the same ingredients, the perception of taste can be altered through molecular gastronomy. Here, we focus on using microfluidics to generate micro-scale edibles. The preparation of 3 different dishes will be shown. (Please be prepared to exercise some level of imagination. Thanks.)
For each dish, a different microfluidic device is used. All 3 devices are flow-focusing devices to create alginate gels, dependent on the ionic reaction between sodium alginate and calcium chloride (CaCl2). By controlling flowrate ratios, the dimensions of the gels can be tuned.
The first step is design. Here, a 3-layer microfluidic device is shown. The top and bottom layers are hot embossed, while the middle layer contains lasercut through holes to connect channels between layers. The black holes are through holes, the green patterns are embossed alginate channels, and the light blue patterns are embossed oil channels. Fluid enters the device at the centre and exits at the 16 outlets located at the device perimeter.
Two moulds are required to create the top and bottom layers. (a) A PMMA master is micro-milled. (b) An epoxy resin is poured onto the master. (c) After setting, the stiff elastomeric epoxy is peeled from the master to create the mould.
The hot embossing process is shown in the schematic, where a mould is pressed against a PMMA slab. The right image shows the resulting embossed PMMA layer, a replica of the PMMA master.
After two PMMA layers are embossed and the middle PMMA layer is lasercut, the three layers are bonded together via solvent bonding. Pipette tips are epoxied around the two inlet holes, used to connect to external tubing.
Alginate and oil are loaded into 2 syringes mounted on a syringe pump. Tubing is connected to the device, which is placed in a CaCl2 bath for crosslinking alginate.
Fibers are pulled out of the bath for examination. Fibers of different diameters can be extruded depending on the inlet flowrates.
Falooda is a sugary vermicelli-like fiber. Here are our fibers on some ice cream with an attempt to make an Indian dessert, kulfi falooda. For sanitary reasons, the fibers were extruded differently for consumption.
Bucatini is a tubular pasta made from an extrusion process. With a PDMS microfluidic device, we can produce candied micro-bucatini (alginate-based tubes with sub-millimeter dimensions). Refer here for details on the microfluidic device. Apart from shrinking food to alter food texture, a dish can be elevated through presentation. Through the controlled deposition of our bucatini extrusion, we can entice with presentation, psychologically enhancing the perception of taste.
Our bucatini maker consists of three syringe pumps (1) that are connected to a microfluidic device (2). The bucatini extrudes from a glass tube (3) and onto a plate fixed to a moving XY stage (4). All components are controlled through the custom GUI (5).
Here, we show the ability to deposit our candied bucatini in an alluring spiral pattern. You will have to trust me that these are indeed tubes.
Spherification is a technique used in molecular gastronomy to create spherical gels. Using a flow-focusing microfluidic device, alginate-in-oil emulsions can be formed to make alginate droplets and later crosslinked to form gels.
This 5 layer lasercut PMMA device has 5 junctions. The flow focusing junction is a standard design, but is seamlessly hidden in an aesthetic device design. The flower is a stylized Bauhinia blakeana, featured on the flag and emblem of Hong Kong.
Close up of the 5 junctions
To the left, one of the junctions is shown making mono-disperse 200 micron diameter alginate droplets. The continuous phase is oil, flowing 20 times faster than the alginate phase to form droplets. The alginate droplets exit the device and enter a CaCl2 bath, where the alginate immediately gels to form "caviar".

Individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries (SCI) often have balance instability caused by a reduced neural control of lower-limbed muscles. Rehabilitation tools have been demonstrated to be effective in repairing the disconnect between brain and body. Two rehabilitation tools of interest are visual feedback training (VFT) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy.
Wii Fit is a commercial example of visual feedback training. Training games can be used to strengthen muscles and improve balance.
MyndMove is a commercial example of functional electrical stimulation. Surface electrodes are placed on the body to activate targeted muscle groups to generate functional movements.
In this project, we propose a balance rehabilitation tool that combines visual feedback training with functional electrical stimulation therapy. By combining an engaging training game with stimulation therapy, we hypothesize that our balance training tool will amplify and accelerate rehabilitation compared to single-modal approaches.
Just as the Wii Fit can serve as a personal trainer, a fully developed version of our proposed system can have the same at-home functionality for individuals requiring attention for balance rehabilitation. We can use this system as a platform for SCI patients to rehab daily in the comfort of their home while giving therapists access to training data for monitoring.
One training session included 4 games played 3 times each. The games were designed to emulate a collection of muscle strengthening exercises for balance rehabilitation. Each game displayed a transient coloured dot on the screen, displaying the individual's centre of position on the force plate. Game performance was measured by assigning game scores.
TARGET: This game trained an individual to stand as still as possible in the optimal balance position. The objective was to keep the red dot as close to the centre as possible.
HUNTING: A randomly spawning blue target appeared and the goal was to move the red dot inside the target and holding the position for 3 seconds. Once successful, a new target would appear in a different location. This game trained muscle reflexes by inducing constant shifting of body weight.
ELLIPSE: A target followed an elliptical orbit at the edge of an individual's range of motion. Once in the target, the target would increment along its path. This forced the participant to keep their centre of balance away from neutral position for the whole game.
COLOUR MATCHING: In this game, the dot changed colour. The individual needed to move the dot to its matching coloured target. Once successful, the dot changed to a different colour. This game required mental processing and drastic shifts in body weight.
In addition to the games, the training session included two balance assessments to track progress of balance improvement over multiple training sessions. These assessments were standard tests, giving performance indicators that show strong correlations to an individual's balance ability.
An individual was asked to stand on the force plate with their eyes closed as still as possible for 100 seconds. During this time, a centre of position (COP) time series would record and track the involuntary sway of the individual. For these studies, three performance indicators were taken: root means squared (RMS) in the (1) anterior-posterior (front to back) and (2) medial-lateral (side to side) direction, and (3) 95% confidence ellipse of the data.
An individual was prompted by our GUI to perform the "star reaching task", where the individual leaned as far as possible without losing balance in the prompted green direction. After reaching in 8 directions, 8 data points were gathered, plotted, and joined to form an octagon. The area of the octagon gave the performance indicator for dynamic balance called dynamic balance area (or base of support).
Seven able-bodied individuals ran through the training session to test the effectiveness of the system. Three out of four games (y-axis) showed bivariate correlation between balance ability (x-axis), indicating the games were appropriately designed. For more details on this project, refer here.
One problem was for two games, ellipse and colour matching, everyone had high scores. This cluster made it difficult to distinguish an individual's balance ability with game scores. Immediately after the trial run, this problem was addressed by changing the scoring system to favour individuals who could keep their balance position closer to the centre of the game targets.
The next step would be to conduct another trial run on able-bodied participants, this time incorporating functional electrical stimulation. Once completed and further system optimizations are performed, the system would be ready for use in clinical trials on individuals with spinal cord injuries to determine the effectiveness of this rehabilitation tool.
Moore's law drives technological advancement to make electronics smaller. However, the cellphone, the most prevalent electronic device, defies this trend. Why is this? Once touchscreens became practical, it created a trade-off between convenience and practicality. It is more convenient to carry around a smaller phone, but large electronic displays offer more utility. Arguably, the main difference between a cellphone, a tablet, and a laptop is the size of the electronic display. Electronics with reconfigurable displays would maximize the convenience and utility benefits of these devices.
The common approach in the flexible display research area is to use semiconductor fabrication with the key difference being swapping the silicon substrate for flexible, stretchable substrates (see figure below). The key issue with this approach is once the substrate is stretched, the pixel density decreases, reducing the image quality. Also, this approach is dependent on the substrate's mechanical properties, which diminish when stretched. This project proposes a different approach to this problem.
The first design proposed a solution where 16 individual square "islands", each representing an LED, would move uniformly. Each island was constrained to move linearly on a track and connected to other islands via guide arms. By moving one island, all islands would move simultaneously.
Two major problems of this design forced a redesign. First, this design required extra space to function, defeating the purpose of having a compact design. Second, this design shared the same flaw as the flexible substrate approach, which did not conserve pixel density when stretched.
From left to right, the figure shows the transition from collapsed to expanded state. Depending on the direction of the applied force, the prototype can expand to different aspect ratios. This figure shows expansion in two directions for uniform scaling.
(a) After finishing the design, all the components were 3D-printed. (b) After assembly, the prototype was built, and demonstrated the ability to expand and collapse. (c) LEDs were wired so each level of LEDs could be independently controlled. (d) One LED was placed on every island.
(a) A 2x2 version of the prototype could be expanded and collapsed to either a 2x3 or a 3x3 state. (b) With the current manufacturing method of 3D printing, the prototype could be scaled down to under a centimetre in height. The device height to width ratio remained the same with scaling. (c) Pixel density was conserved in different device states.
This design could shrink further with MEMS fabrication. However, the limitation of this design was the large height-to-width ratio. A future iteration of this design should focus on flattening the cube-shaped prototype. Nevertheless, this design showed a different, counterintuitive approach to flexible displays.

Vehicles come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and utilities - from sports cars to common sedans, hybrids to vintage cars, or trucks to Smart cars. While the rest of the vehicle has morphed to fit modern times, the wing mirror design has stagnated and looks comparable between most vehicles (see vehicles below).
The wing mirror design has been a major design flaw for over a century and requires a drastic design change. First, the wing mirror is a safety hazard. It creates blindspot zones, making it standard procedure for drivers to keep their head on a 180° swivel for blindspot checks before changing lanes. This flaw has existed for over a century and has never been fully addressed. At fast speeds, fractions of a a second can be the difference between life or death. The safest option is for drivers to always keep their eyes on the road in front of them. Second, the wing mirror is the only part of the vehicle that unexpectedly extrudes out from the body of the car. Although relatively small, this obtrusion can cause up to 7% of total vehicle drag during driving.
Automakers are pushing to eliminate the law requiring vehicles to have anachronistic wing mirrors. We (hopefully) preview the future of wing mirror-less vehicles.
Due to the scope of the project, the system was designed around an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi camera board, serving as the geometric constraint for our module. To not further increase the size of our system, a custom PCB was fabricated and placed over the camera board. The PCB includes high power infrared (IR) LEDs for night time viewing, heater connections for de-icing, a temperature sensor, and an ambient light sensor.
The outer housing was designed to minimize drag created by this system. This camera module would be placed on the outside of the vehicle near the wing mirror. The housing prototype is 3D printed and provides a water-tight seal from the outdoor environment. A dual bandpass filter is placed in front of the camera lens to allow transmission of visible light and a narrow range on the same wavelength as our IR LEDs.
Here is a size comparison between a typical vehicular wing mirror and our camera system. After running a simulation for a standard highway driving condition, our camera system saw a drag reduction of 99.8% in comparison to the wing mirror.
On the left, the camera (large frame) and side mirror (small frame) views show our car being passed by another car. A schematic is shown on the top-right. At first, the car is in both the camera and side mirror view. When the car leaves the side mirror view, it enters the normal blindspot of our vehicle. Yet, in our camera view, the passing car is still in frame and only leaves the frame when the car has fully our vehicle. Thus, our camera eliminates the blindspot of cars in the adjacent lane.
Here is a comparison of our camera operating at night through the same highway section. The left is our camera with the infrared LED turned on, and the right is the camera with the light off. The right view is similar to the view of the side mirror. It is clear from these videos that the IR LED improves visibility at night. When the car enters the section without streetlights (or any other external light), the IR LED allows the camera to pick up the lane markings on the road. In comparison, the side mirror would have shown a pitch black view, demonstrating a driver's current dependency of external light. This camera module allows the driver to see potential vehicles with their headlights off (or moose, bears, zebras, kangaroos, or camels) that sneak up on us.
This was an undergraduate capstone project to demonstrate to the University of Waterloo community the potential advantages of a camera-based rear view system. For demo day, we showcased an interactive experience of our system on our supervisor's Porsche, demonstrating the safety benefits of our system. With the monitor placed in front of the driver, we demonstrated a driving experience without having to tilt your head to check blindspots.
Due to the limitations of time and money, the project was narrowed down to a manageable scope, demonstrating a few key concepts. Ideally, we would have put an emphasis on seamlessly integrating the monitors into the vehicle's dashboard to improve driving experience. With more time, another point of emphasis would have been coupling the camera system with haptic feedback in the steering wheel so drivers can feel their surroundings. There are numerous other ways in which technology can be used to improve our driving experience, so why not use it?
Have you ever slept through your alarm and missed an important meeting or exam? Are you the type of person that hits the snooze button 25 times every morning? Do you typically lie in bed in a depressing state of Weltschmerz, requiring all the will and strength in your mind and body to drag yourself out of bed? We've all been there. Mornings are the worst and traditional alarms clocks just don't cut it.
Introducing the solution to your morning problems. A bed that literally kicks you out of bed. The tilting alarm bed functions as a normal bed until the alarm is triggered. Once activated, a latch mechanism retracts causing one side of the bed to tilt over along with you. The bed will no longer lock in horizontal position for 30 minutes after activation, forcing you to not only wake up, but not climb back into bed. Stay woke.
Once designed, an initial prototype is built out of Popsicle sticks. This prototype allows us to visualize the vision and assist with elucidating the direction for future design iterations. For instance, pinch points become more obvious and the observed drop height and drop speed help with understanding the mechanics of rolling out of bed. Shown is lil' Matt Damon rolling out of bed in style.
After the design was finalized, a trip to Home Depot was planned. After weeks of arduous labour, the bed was built. Below are a few components that make up the bed, specifically the mechanisms involved with triggering the alarm.
Here is the bed in action. Instead of the traditional approach of waking up through sound, this bed uses the sense of (an excessively aggressive) touch. This alarm clock comes with a 100% guarantee of waking someone up. Although promising in its effectiveness, further persistence of getting this product to market would be met with too many lawsuits. RIP Blue Clock (2015-2015).

MR. WRONG A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 2.0 Alternative Scale: * out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 2/16/96 (wide) Running Length: 1:32 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Mature themes) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Pullman, Ellen Cleghorne, John Livingstone, Joan Cusack, Dean Stockwell, Joan Plowright, Robert Goulet Director: Nick Castle Producer: Marty Katz Screenplay: Chris Matheson, Kerry Ehrin, and Craig Munson Cinematography: John Schwartzman Music: Craig Safan U.S. Distributor: Touchstone Pictures
There's a fundamental flaw in MR. WRONG's premise. This is a romantic comedy parody, but how can you satirize something that's a comedy to begin with? If this motion picture is an example, not only can't it be done, but the result is downright ugly. Every year, there are handful of movies that aren't remotely funny, and MR. WRONG has the dubious distinction of falling into that category. Try as it might with its sophomoric humor and dumb one-liners, this film never got so much as a chuckle out of me.
Someone must find Ellen DeGeneres appealing -- after all, she's got her own TV show and now has a starring role in a motion picture. Based on her performance in MR. WRONG, however, it's impossible to uncover the source of her attraction. She has no discernible acting ability, no screen presence, and she's certainly not funny (at least not in this context). In fact, the best adjective to describe DeGeneres is irritating. And since she's in almost every scene of MR. WRONG, that makes for a very long ninety-two minutes.
The film opens by introducing us to Martha (DeGeneres), a thirty- one year old who's getting pressure from every side to find a nice guy, settle down, and get married. Alas, most of the men she dates are walking testimonials to the single life -- until Whitman (Bill Pullman), that is. She meets him in a bar late one Valentine's Day. They hit it off immediately, spending the night whispering sweet nothings to one another in front of a roaring fire. Martha is in love, and, what's more, her parents and sister are thrilled by her new beau. Slowly, however, Whitman begins to show signs of abnormal behavior: breaking his finger as a sign of his undying love, shoplifting to have fun, and peeping into Martha's bedroom window while dressed as a clown. Worse still, Whitman's ex-girlfriend (Joan Cusack) wants Martha to suffer a very nasty accident, like being eaten alive by ants. It doesn't take long for Martha to realize that, despite his millions of dollars and neverending protestations of affection, Whitman isn't the kind of guy a woman wants to spend the rest of her life with.
Not even a series of unusual cameos can save MR. WRONG. Despite being way over the top, the normally-delightful Joan Cusack is simply dreary as the only character in the film more obsessed than Whitman. Dean Stockwell is on hand as a no-nonsense private eye who turns against Martha when offered a fat payoff. And Joan Plowright gets a paycheck slumming as Whit's overattentive mother.
The idea behind MR. WRONG is to set up a typical romantic comedy scenario, then, twisting events in the most bizarre fashion imaginable, lampoon the genre for all it's worth. Even with Mr. Nice Guy, Bill Pullman (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING), playing off his own reputation, the movie misfires in a big way. The choppy script substitutes stale, unimaginative material for clever, biting wit. In its failed attempt to launch an acid attack on overly sweet romances, MR. WRONG ends up causing heartburn.

Transferring over a code base from Matlab to R is often a repetitive and inefficient use of time. This package provides a translator for Matlab / Octave code into R code. It does some syntax changes, but most of the heavy lifting is in the function changes since the languages are so similar. Options for different data structures and the functions that can be changed are given. The Matlab code should be mostly in adherence to the standard style guide but some effort has been made to accommodate different number of spaces and other small syntax issues. This will not make the code more R friendly and may not even run afterwards. However, the rudimentary syntax, base function and data structure conversion is done quickly so that the maintainer can focus on changes to the design structure.

Minoru Cycling Jacket
I finally finished my painfully orange Minoru! I’ve wanted a warm cycling jacket for a while now, and an impending trip to Boston in the winter seemed like the perfect impetus to start sewing. It looks perfectly sunny outside here, but it’s also 15ºF. o__O
This jacket was a series of happy accidents, from the backwards welt pockets to the surprise underlining.
I initially wanted to make the jacket in a bright orange wool melton, but the fabric store’s wool selection was sadly lacking. After spending 1.5 hours waffling over different materials and colors, I eventually settled on a painfully orange cotton twill, with a mango yellow lining. I ended up going back to the store after starting the pattern, since I realized the jacket would essentially be a sad, thin, droopy shirt without some sort of underlining.
I’m so glad I went back for the polar fleece – this jacket is incredibly warm. It’s completely windproof! I’ve cycled in 15ºF weather with this jacket, and ended up super toasty at the end.
That said, cotton’s probably not the best choice for a jacket meant to brave Boston (or San Francisco) winters, since it’s literally the worst fabric for wet weather. Unlike wool, it doesn’t keep you warm when wet. I might try making the next one (because there will be a next one) out of a thin wool, though I’m not sure how the gathers and elastic waistband will turn out.
The pattern was surprisingly easy to work through, even with my newbie sewing skills! I cut a straight size 6, without an FBA and without a muslin, which was kind of a gamble. Sewaholic’s patterns are made for fairly pear-shaped people, but the finished measurements of the jacket seemed like they would fit. I think it paid off, but I might do an FBA on the next jacket I make. What do you think?
I didn’t underline the hood, since I made it before I bought the fleece. A happy coincidence – it fits under my helmet, which keeps my ears and head super warm. With the collar zipped up all the way, it keeps my nose and cheekbones warmed up even in seriously cold winds
The hood is hilariously large without my helmet in place, though. I feel like a boohbah.
I didn’t use the pattern’s suggested elastic positioning, since I have a pretty pronounced sway back, and knew that I’d have to alter the positioning, anyway. Instead, I tried on the jacket, and marked out where the band should go in tailor’s chalk. The process was a little nerve-wracking, since I wasn’t being particularly careful about keeping anything straight or measured. I’m pretty glad it worked out in the end.
I had some difficulty threading the elastic through the casing, given how tight the casing ended up, so I ended up threading through some ribbon, tying that to the elastic, and pulling the elastic through.
Adjustments
Pockets
I drafted welt pockets large enough to hold my kindle, using [this tutorial]. Unfortunately, I had a brainfart and put in the welts slanting the wrong way! After some grumping and worrying about scrounging up enough fabric, I ended up adding in side seam pockets, too. This jacket now has 4 giant, warm pockets! An unexpected advantage of putting in the welt pockets the wrong way is that things in the pockets don’t spill their contents when I’m on a bicycle.
Lining the hood and collar pieces
I also lined both collar pieces and the hood. I’m a little sad about the raw edge exposed in the hood collar, and wished I’d noticed it earlier. It would have been easy to fix before I put the lining in. :(
Machine-stitched cuffs
I don’t know if this exactly counts as an alteration, since I used a sewalong post to learn how to do this. (using Tasia’s tutorial). I also omitted the elastic in the cuffs. The sleeves are still suuuuper long. You can’t see it in the photos, but they’re the right size with the cuffs flipped up, and go over my fingertips normally.
Skills learned:
- First outerwear!
- Lots of careful topstitching
- Machine-stitching cuffs
Fabric // Stretch cotton twill in orange, polar fleece, and lightweight cotton in yellow from Fabric Outlet in SF
Pattern // Sewaholic’s Minoru
Sizing // Straight size 6. Might do an FBA on the next jacket.
Here’s a bonus blurry snow photo, with a mostly handmade outfit (Marlborough bra, Belladone space dress, knit cowl and hat, and Minoru jacket).

And those who made excuses from the bedouins came (to you, O Prophet SAW) asking your permission to exempt them (from the battle), and those who had lied to Allah and His Messenger sat at home (without asking the permission for it); a painful torment will seize those of them who disbelieve. |
| 009:090 Maulana | : |
And the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desert came that permission might be given to them, and they sat (at home) who lied to Allah and His Messenger. A painful chastisement will afflict those of them who disbelieve. |
| 009:090 Pickthal | : |
And those among the wandering Arabs who had an excuse came in order that permission might be granted them. And those who lied to Allah and His messenger sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve. |
| 009:090 Rashad | : |
The Arabs made up excuses, and came to you seeking permission to stay behind. This is indicative of their rejection of GOD and His messenger - they stay behind. Indeed, those who disbelieve among them have incurred a painful retribution. |
| 009:090 Sarwar | : |
Some of the dwellers of the desert (who were not able to join the army) came to the Prophet seeking exemption from taking part in the battle.  The disbelievers will soon receive a painful punishment. |
| 009:090 Shakir | : |
And the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desert came that permission may be given to them and they sat (at home) who lied to Allah and His Messenger; a painful chastisement shall afflict those of them who disbelieved. |
| 009:090 Sherali | : |
And those, who make excuses from among the desert Arabs, came with the request that exemption might be granted them. And those who lied to ALLAH and HIS Messenger stayed at home. A grievous punishment shall befall those of them who disbelieve. |
| 009:090 Yusufali | : |
And there were, among the desert Arabs (also), men who made excuses and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His Messenger (merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the Unbelievers among them. |

My boyfriend had just returned from visiting his folks in NC, and we were going through some troubles. Mostly my fault. Never ask too many details about previous sex partners/practices. Just make sure there's no disease and forget it.
So I arrived at his place. He had wine, dinner, candles...all that. We were having fun just talking. After awhile the wine was gone. So we popped open another bottle. Then that was gone, so we hit the peach schnappes and had two or three fuzzy navels. Then we smoked some weed.
Then he told me, when I called his previous sex partner (a friend with benefits sort of situation) a squat whore resembling a hobbit, that he didn't agree with my viewpoint. Instead of stopping there he told me she was the most beautiful women he'd ever seen naked. EVER! This of course upset me. He told me I *was* attractive, but basically I wasn't all that, to paraphrase. Due to my then five or ten extra pounds (all in the gut).
So I did what any 22 year old woman would do. I yelled at him and then did about six to seven shots of Vodka in a row while he was in the bathroom. My goal was death. Earlier that year (or the one before) a nineteen year old kid had died when some sailor dared him to drink an entire bottle of Vodka.
The rest of the night is basically gone. I guess the term is blackout. I was awake, interacting, talking, and moving about. But I don't think I knew it. I then related to him something that had never happened to me. He later says I was in tears. Something about a Sunday school teacher trying to get it on with me.
I then did many sexual things that I wouldn't normally partake in. But I remembered none of it. He could of made the whole thing up, and I wouldn't know the difference. Its just things he described meshed with things I thought had been a dream. And oh ya, I also pissed all over myself in my little drug induced coma. I'll never drink an entire bottle of wine, three fuzzy navels, did I mention the screwdrivers?, and six shots of vodka in a six hour period ever again.

A few things you need to know about road tests:
- Obey all speed limits and traffic signs.
- Maintain eco driving (accelerate smoothly, brake smoothly). Keep at least a 3 second gap from vehicles in front
- Keep at least 1 metre away from the side
- You are expected to demonstrate responses to hazards.
- There are always quiet streets, main roads and multi laned roads in the test.
- There are always roundabouts, turning with traffic lights and turning without traffic lights.
- There is always at least one school zone.
- There is always one street parking and either a three point turning OR reverse parking
- Being nervous is okay, but do not panic. If you are not confident, do not book the test.
- Testing officers are humans too. They are reasonable.
- Be an average driver. Do not drive faster or slower than others. Be able to predict the behaviours of other drivers and be predictable yourself. Remember you are not racing, so BE AVERAGE.
