Minx, I saw that "Prancercize" video on CNN. Reminded me of the "Dancercize" era started by Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons in the 80's, with rhythmic aerobics set to music. Followed by the dance dance revolution of the 90's. Culminating in Dancing With The Stars in the 21st century.
Music and movement are happy things. Move without trying to dance. Dance like no one's watching.

Do the riots change your "Happy Factor" in any way?Flying back to Amsterdam tonight, knowing that in 3 weeks I will fly to Istanbul
My sons got into their toy-storage bins....and were 'old enough' to find joy in re-visiting their childhood play. They dug through their collections of Legos (a distinct sound that's been quiet for several years), GI Joes, Brio, Playmobil, and action figures, creating "set-ups", and laughing like little kids. Their voices and laughters were deeper, since they're older now, but still had the same character and resonance of their childhood.
Hard to explain, but it made me Happy just listening to their HappiNess.
I bought a 3D printer...and after blowing the projector lamp, and replacing it, I got my first Print!
the ban has been reversed, unanimouslyMy county is considering reversing an 8 year ban on the government acknowledgement of gay people, events and contributions.

Hope is the denial of reality
Last day of school for the kids, and I managed to get a sub to Playstation Plus for 20% off.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
PayPal managed to land itself in hot water in Germany. They had announced a little competition where once per week 10 people would get 500€ if they had used PayPal to pay for anything in the previous week. So far, so good.
However, someone seems to have fubar'd the mail server - because they sent a "You have won 500€!" email to seemingly their whole German mailing list.
And that's where it gets tricky: We have this legal paragraph § 661a BGB. Which states quite plainly that "a company which sends prize notifications to its customers actually has to pay those prize notifications".
They could lose quite a lot of money over this.

And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
I was hoping that was 500,000, just so it could bankrupt the scam artists.

Don't those laws generally have provisions for things like typing errors?
They don't have such provisions for a very good reason: Scammers might use those loopholes as well. "Oh, we're so sorry! The 'You've won 1,000,000€!' message was sent erroneously!"
Granted, an actual case in court might not fare very well - however, if the plaintiff said, for example, that, due to him expecting this windfall, he already spent 500€ and now is out of said 500€ for the sole reason that the prize notification was not actually real, the court might side with him.

All expenses paid trip to Israel. Should be fun.

Nice! If you need any suggestions on things to do, I suspect a few of us can help out.
It's not until the end of the year, I'll probably ask then.
I just designed an entirely new class of biomaterials today.
I suppose details will be sparse by necessity?I just designed an entirely new class of biomaterials today.
Quite, for a number of reasons. Let's just say that there is a kind of nanoscale materials that was an area of really hot materials science research at the turn of the century, but is only now being contemplated for use in biomaterials applications. I sat down with my mentor and hashed out a way to tweak the non-biological materials to make them biologically relevant and tunable for a whole class of applications that have very challenging design requirements.
And yes, that was incredibly vague. Sorry!
Vague, but cool
Dude, congrats! I have my fingers crossed for you and would like to buy two shares when you guys launch

Wildwood, New Jersey, bans low-slung trousers
A beach town in the US state of New Jersey has passed a ban on low-slung trousers, jeans or shorts on its boardwalk.
Exposed skin and underwear had attracted complaints from tourists, says Wildwood Mayor Ernest Troiano.
The ban prohibiting trousers that hang more than 3in (7.6cm) below the hips on the boardwalk passed on Wednesday.
And throw offenders of the ban in jail for a year.
