Monica Hughes, OC (November 3, 1925 – March 7, 2003) was an English-Canadian author of books for children and young adults, especially science fiction. She also wrote adventure and historical novels set in Canada, and the text for some children's picture books. She may be known best for the Isis trilogy of young-adult science fiction novels (1980–1982).
Monica Hughes lived in many different countries, including Egypt, Scotland, England and Zimbabwe. She was the daughter of Phylis Fry and E.L Ince. Both her parents worked at the University of Liverpool, where her father was a mathematician and her mother a biologist.
In her school years, her teachers always encouraged her to write and join essay writing competitions. Hughes attended Edinburgh University from 1942-1943. While in school, Hughes' academic studies were interrupted as a result of World War II. She joined the Military service, the Women's Royal Naval Service, from the years 1943-1946, cracking German codes. After returning from the war, Hughes went back to school to study Meteorology. She married Glen Hughes on April 22, 1957 and together they had 4 children.

Whatcha Want is the fifth studio album by Finnish glam rock singer Michael Monroe, released on January 21, 2003, through the German label SPV GmbH.
It was Monroe's first solo album since Hanoi Rocks' reunion in 2001, and was released just two months after Hanoi Rocks' comeback album Twelve Shots on the Rocks. A song Monroe has originally written for this album, entitled "Whatcha Want" (which also inspired the album's name) was eventually used for the Hanoi Rocks album Twelve Shots on the Rocks.
"The Transformation" is the thirteenth episode of the first season of the American science fiction drama television series Fringe. Its storyline centers on the circumstances surrounding a deceased scientist (Neal Huff), who was doped with a "designer virus" and transformed into a dangerous monster, causing his plane to crash. Fringe agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) and FBI consultants Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Walter Bishop (John Noble) connect the event to an impending arms deal. Olivia must explore her mind for remaining memories of her former partner and lover, John Scott (Mark Valley), in order to prevent the sale of the virus.
The episode was co-written by Zack Whedon and supervising producer J. R. Orci, while producer Brad Anderson served as the director. The creation of the monster took the crew approximately eleven days – they took molds of guest actor Huff's head and back and created eight sets of dentures in order to create the special effect of transformation. To create the plane crash set, the crew spent over a week strategically placing around 15,000 pounds worth of plane parts.
Health care in the United States is provided by many distinct organizations.Health care facilities are largely owned and operated by private sector businesses. 58% of US community hospitals are non-profit, 21% are government owned, and 21% are for-profit. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States spent more on health care per capita ($8,608), and more on health care as percentage of its GDP (17.2%), than any other nation in 2011.
60–65% of healthcare provision and spending comes from programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Veterans Health Administration. Most of the population under 67 is insured by their or a family member's employer, some buy health insurance on their own, and the remainder are uninsured. Health insurance for public sector employees is primarily provided by the government.
The United States life expectancy of 78.4 years at birth, up from 75.2 years in 1990, ranks it 50th among 221 nations, and 27th out of the 34 industrialized OECD countries, down from 20th in 1990. Of 17 high-income countries studied by the National Institutes of Health in 2013, the United States had the highest or near-highest prevalence of obesity, car accidents, infant mortality, heart and lung disease, sexually transmitted infections, adolescent pregnancies, injuries, and homicides. On average, a U.S. male can be expected to live almost four fewer years than those in the top-ranked country, though notably Americans aged 75 live longer than those who reach that age in other developed nations.

Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, and Dominique Dawes represented the USA. Although Kerri Strug had qualified for the final, her injury from her famous vault two days earlier forced her out, allowing Dominique Moceanu to take her spot. The final results of this competition were as follows (skip this if you do not want to spoil the surprise): Lilia Podkopayeva of Ukraine won gold; Gina Gogean of Romania won silver; and Simona Amânar and Lavinia Miloşovici, both of Romania, tied for bronze.

PureScript (http://www.purescript.org) is a strongly-typed functional programming language that compiles to simple JavaScript. The language is heavily inspired by Haskell, and the compiler itself is written in Haskell. PureScript's type system has grown gradually over the past four years, driven by the need for solutions to real-world problems and also experimentation. Phil will give an overview of some of the type system features which were inspired by Haskell, and also some novel features such as row polymorphism. Phill will also talk about the implementation of the type checker. This was recorded at Brainium in Santa Monica during a Santa Monica Haskell meetup: https://www.meetup.com/santa-monica-haskell/events/240386978/ See Phil's pinned comment for table of contents and other re...
The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists (also known as The Game: Undercover in the Secret Society of Pickup Artists) is a non-fiction book written by investigative reporter Neil Strauss as a chronicle of his journey and encounters in the seduction community. The book was featured on the New York Times Bestseller List for two months after its release in September 2005, reaching prominence again in 2007 during the broadcast of the VH1 television series The Pickup Artist, which was hosted by Mystery, Strauss's mentor in the book. In its original published hardcover format, the book was covered in black leather and bookmarked with red satin, similar to some printings of the Bible. Despite the reputation that The Game has gained as an exposé on the seduction community, it wa...

[ Merchant ]
If you intend to live again,
then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling there's nothing worth believing.
God, if you persist you'll die like this,
and wither in the midst of your first season,
cut down with no reason.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
If you intend to live again,
then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you.
It's been so long, we've missed you.
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
Feel what might be. See what I see.
Again and again and again and again say you don't.
You say you don't, but you will.
How can you be so near and not see?
